Unparalleled Double Harmony

Chapter 26 Are you in trouble?

Yingzhou, located in the north of the Huaihe River, is flat and broad, with rivers converging, four distinct seasons and picturesque scenery.

Sun Yixie and Huang Donglai came along this way, and it can be said that there are bandits in every mountain and hidden bandits in the mountains, but only after arriving here in Yingzhou, it is considered peaceful and nothing happened.

Of course, there is a reason for this...

Because "Fengmanlou" among the four masters of "Fengyun Shuiyue" of the imperial court is stationed in Yingzhou Wei on weekdays; It is the first-rate masters in the world who have come here, and they will never dare to make mistakes, let alone those second- and third-rate thieves.

Sun and Huang spent three days resting in Yingzhou. They slept for five hours every day. When they got up, they ate steamed buns, drank soup, and practiced exercises to move their muscles and bones. When they really felt free, they went to Yingzhou West Lake. walk around.

Three days later, the man, and the horse, all eliminated a lot of fatigue from the previous journey, so on the fourth day, the two rode back on the road again.

Coming out of Yingzhou City and heading northwest, it is generally uphill. It should have been a relatively difficult journey, but because they let the horses rest for three days, it is not too strenuous. Arrive at the station before dusk.

After walking like this for several days, they passed through two counties along the official road, and then they arrived at Zhoukou.

From Luzhou to here, according to our current standards, it takes less than five hours to get there by taking the expressway.

But in those years, the road was difficult and dangerous, plus all kinds of things encountered in the middle and the necessary rest time, the two of them walked together for more than ten days, which was really not easy.

The two horses given by Mr. Zeng are used here... that's about it. They have to rest for a while before they can run long distances; so after arriving in Zhoukou, Sun Yixie went to find a horse dealer and bargained. , exchanged two horses with the other party and came back.

The new horse that was exchanged is naturally full of energy and has been recuperating for a long time. From here to Luoyang, there should be no need to change it.

Now that things have happened, Huang Donglai and Sun Yixie obviously don't plan to take the coach of the High Speed ​​Rail Gang anymore; after all, they have all come here, and it is also a kind of experience to walk around along the way.

From Zhoukou, the next stop is Xuzhou, which is known as Xuchang.

When we arrived in Xuzhou, we were not far from Luoyang.

Counting the days, if everything goes well, the two should be able to arrive about half a month earlier.

Of course, if something delays you, it’s hard to say... In that era, the pace of life was too slow, and today you can explain things clearly with a phone call or a message, and they may need several It can only be conveyed in hours; you drive a car, follow the navigation, walk on a smooth road, you can go to eight places and do eight things in a day... For the ancients, being able to do two things in a day is considered high efficiency.

This is also why, when people traveled far away at that time, if there was any important matter, they usually had to set off ten and a half days earlier than the calculated schedule.

Even if Sun Yixie and Huang Donglai came out early this time, otherwise they really didn't have so much time to meddle in the road...

…………

Let's say that Sun and Huang left Zhoukou and marched up along the road on the bank of Yingshui River.

This road, from the north bank of the Yinghe River, can look at the mountains on the opposite bank, which is also unique.

It was night, and the two were looking for a place in a village. There was an inn in this village, but unfortunately there were not many guest rooms. Of course, it didn't matter if they were both men and slept in the same room.

After guessing the game, "Spring Hand" Sun Yixie successfully obtained the ownership of the bed, while Huang Donglai could only curse at the street and hit the floor.

Half the night without a word, until the early morning...

Hiss - hiss -

Outside the window of the guest room, there was a strange noise suddenly.

Sun and Huang heard it almost at the same time, and they woke up at the same time; their reactions were also very consistent - they suddenly opened their eyes, sat up softly, turned their heads to look, then stretched their heads towards the brother, and said in a low voice He said, "Did you hear that?"

"I heard..." Huang Donglai continued, "And I don't think it sounds like wind..."

"Nonsense." Sun Yixie said, "Outside the door is the corridor of the inn, where is the wind coming from?"

"Otherwise..." Huang Donglai said, "Brother Sun, go over and have a look, I'll cover you with a hidden weapon here."

"Mao!" Sun Yixie said, "I'm not going."

"Are you afraid?" Huang Donglai began to use aggressive methods.

"Who said that?" Sun Yixie desperately wanted face, and as expected, he was tricked, and insisted, "What am I afraid of? I am like breathing when facing danger."

"Then why don't you go?" Huang Donglai said.

"I..." Sun Yixie really couldn't think of a suitable excuse for a while.

"Brother Sun, do you have any difficulties?" Huang Donglai raised the corners of his mouth and smiled strangely.

"I have no problem! I have a problem?" Sun Yixie said, suddenly thought of something, and quickly asked, "Why don't you go yourself?"

"I have a problem." Huang Donglai put on an attitude that a dead turtle is not afraid of boiling water, and replied, "I have a bad heart, what if something terrible scares me to death?"

"You..." Sun Yixie has already begun to regret his pretentious remarks just now. It's okay to pretend to be a turtle like the other party, but he insists on holding on, which makes it a bit difficult to get off now, "Damn... just go! "

The two completed the above conversation in a very low voice. Then, Sun Yixie tiptoed off the bed, picked up the trident leaning against the wall, and looked down at the armor he was wearing ( With his character, he would not take it off even when he was sleeping), swallowed his saliva, and walked towards the door step by step...

Hiss hiss hiss...

And in this short period of 2 minutes, the voice outside the door not only didn't stop, but also became louder and more urgent. It seemed that they were rushing towards Sun and Huang.

When Sun Yixie walked towards the door, Huang Donglai behind him was not idle; Huang Donglai also got up from the ground, came to the angle behind Sun Yixie, held two hidden weapons in his hands, and was ready to support at any time.

Neither of them was stupid, and they had no intention of lighting a lamp at all, because it was obviously more harmful to them at such a time.

"Huh..." After a few seconds, Sun Yixie finally came to the door. He took another deep breath, then mustered up his courage, opened the latch, and stretched out his hand to pull the door inward.

babble--

There was a piercing groan from the old hinge.

Then, the door opened.

Sun Yixie took two steps back immediately, holding a halberd, but found... there was no one outside the door, only the empty corridor, and a white wall opposite the corridor.

The weird sound also stopped abruptly after the door was opened.

But Sun Yixie did not relax his tense nerves because of this, he held his breath, looked at the dark corridor, and listened attentively.

Soon, he heard...

Beep, beep, beep...

On the floor outside the door, there was a little sound—the sound of water dripping on the ground.

Just when Sun Yixie realized it and looked up...

Sudden!A mass of black, wet long hair hung down from the top of the door. The source of the hair was a pale human face hanging upside down.

"Ah!" The moment the "ghost face" poked out, it let out an extremely shrill scream.

"Ah—" At the same moment, Sun Yixie let out an extremely shrill scream.

Originally, from the perspective of the atmosphere and the picture, this scene was scary enough, and coupled with the startled cry of the face, everyone had to jump up in fright.

And Sun Yixie did jump up, I saw... He was so frightened that he threw the trident in his hand, and instinctively covered his cheeks with both hands, perfectly cosplaying the character in Munch's "The Scream" in an instant. Styling... Then, he took a few steps back, tripped over the edge of the bed, and fell on the bed.

Not to mention Sun Yixie who met the "ghost" head-on, even Huang Donglai who saw the "ghost face" from the side and rear was frightened for a moment.

However, after seeing Sun Yixie's exaggerated reaction that made people want to laugh, Huang Donglai immediately came back to his senses, and threw the hidden weapon in his hand with two swishes.

It's a pity that the person outside the door had already prepared, and before the hidden weapon arrived, she had already put her head back.

ping ping ping ping...

Immediately afterwards, Huang Donglai heard the very obvious sound of feet stepping on tiles on the roof.He just wanted to chase after him, but he thought wrong again. No matter how you look at it, this is a bit like a trap to lure the enemy.

Just when Huang Donglai was hesitating, on the other side... Sun Yixie, who had just come back to his senses and was a little bit annoyed, was already in a state of urgency and quick wit... He picked up the trident again, stood on the couch, and moved directly towards Striving to poke at the place where the sound came from on the roof...

The inn in this village has thatched huts with broken tiles, and the weapon in Sun Yixie's hand is a treasure that cuts iron like mud. When he stabs it, it is like stabbing a window paper with a knife. When the trident penetrates the roof and attacks, it is almost Nothing stands in the way.

The one on the roof also didn't expect to be "surprised through the wall". In one careless move, the entire top of his left foot was pierced.

Originally, she wanted to lure the two of them up, and plot against them by using the "Soul Breaking Array" she had set up in advance in the open place, but this is good, and she suffered a rather difficult injury before she could do it... helpless , she could only run away quickly, in case the other party really chased him out and ended badly.

But Sun Yixie didn't know what the opponent was thinking. He only knew that after the first stab, there was blood on the tip of the trident, which meant that the attack was effective, so he stabbed seven or eight times in a row.

When Huang Donglai realized something and tried to stop Brother Sun...it was too late.

With the sound of tiles falling to the ground, the roof collapsed.
