Goldfinger of the Heavens

Chapter 38 Encounter on the Post Road
Guannei Road.

well deserved...

"Drive..." On the official road, an official was waving the whip in his hand and whipped the sitting horse continuously, hoping that the horse could go faster. It is not difficult to see from the attire of this official that he is a postman or an escort. A special courier for urgent documents in six hundred miles.

Why special?
Postmen are personnel who deliver government documents, and they deliver document messages by connecting post roads and post stations all over the world.

The post road is a special official road, similar to the current national road, and it is the highest standard among all the roads in ancient times, while the post station is a place for the postmen to rest. Dating has ten postmen, these people are responsible for taking care of the horses and delivering messages.

In the Tang Dynasty, postmen were mostly selected from the local people, but there was a special kind of postmen that had to be served by specialized soldiers, that is, the postmen who escorted urgent documents.

In this era when there are no cars or trains, the fastest means of transportation is the horse. Usually, the postmen can rest at the post station to pass the news, but if there is a major event, such as an emergency military situation, it must be sent to the destination as soon as possible. The pawns have no time to rest at all. They change horses along the way without changing people. Even eating and drinking are done on horseback. This requires good physical strength, perseverance and equestrian skills. It is not ordinary people who can take on the role, but must be a special soldier. .

The postman hadn't closed his eyes for a day and a night, and he needed to send the documents in his hand to Luoyang in the shortest possible time.

"Boom..."

"Hey hey..."

A tripping rope suddenly appeared on the official road. Because it appeared so suddenly, the postman didn’t notice it at all. Even people and horses were tripped by the tripping rope. The postman was thrown out due to inertia, and the horse rolled twice on the ground before stopping .

"Ahem... bah..." The postman spit out the dust in his mouth, got up, and hurried to the side of the horse. After confirming that the horse was not injured, he immediately pulled the horse up and was ready to go.

He thought it was an accident of the horse that caused the fall, and he didn't even think about the direction of the tripping rope.

Because stopping the postman is a serious crime of ransacking the house and destroying the family, who has the guts to do this kind of thing, and emergency documents are useless to ordinary people, who has nothing to eat and eat to support this kind of thing.

Unfortunately, today the postman encountered three full-fledged people.

"Pfft..." The postman flew out again, spitting blood, rolled on the ground several times before stopping, and the paperwork he was carrying also fell to the ground.

The postman was very dedicated, and when he found out that the document had fallen, he ignored his injuries and crawled to the side of the document, reaching out to pick it up.

"Ah..." Seeing that he was about to get the documents, a foot suddenly appeared in front of him, and he stepped on it hard, and he could vaguely hear the sound of fracture, and the severe pain made the postman let out a scream.

The postman looked up and saw three people holding weapons and wearing hats that could hide their faces.

"Hmph, your mission is over." The man who was stepping on the postman's hand said, pulling out the sword in his hand, turning the sword upside down, and stabbing at the postman without hesitation.

when!
Seeing that the postman was about to die on the spot, he heard a clear sound, something hit the man's sword. Although he didn't knock the sword away, he saved the postman's life.

"Who?"

"You little thieves are really daring. You dare to intercept the postman escorting the urgent documents. You don't know whether you are alive or dead."

The three of them traced back to the source of the voice, but they saw that on the right side of the official road, a man leaning against a big tree appeared at some point.

"Huang Gongheng." The leading sword-bearer said in amazement after recognizing the identity of the comer.

"Oh, young man, you have good eyesight, and you actually know Laozi. It seems that Laozi's name is quite famous!" The man laughed. This person is Huang Chong, who has traveled all over the world. coincide.

"No matter who you are, if you are sensible, leave as soon as possible, otherwise this place will be your burial place today." said the man with the sword.

"I've met many people who say this over the years. It's a pity that these people will prove their stupidity at the cost of their lives." Huang Chong picked up the sword, walked forward slowly, and said.

The sword-bearer shook his head at his two subordinates, signaling them to come forward and kill Huang Chong, and the two subordinates immediately rushed towards Huang Chong with their swords raised.

"It's just miscellaneous fish." Huang Chong said disdainfully. Before his voice fell, the man had turned into an afterimage, passed between the two, and stopped five meters in front of the sword-wielding man. As for his two men, "Boom!" Two sounds, and fell to the ground at the same time, I don't know if it is dead or alive.

"As expected of a fast swordsman, he really deserves his reputation." The sword bearer was not surprised by this, and his tone was still as calm as before.

"Fast Swordsman" is a title obtained by Huang Chong after he challenged the heroes of Heshuo. It describes Huang Chong's swordsmanship as extremely fast.

"Report your name."

"A dead person doesn't need to know my name." The sword in the man's hand pointed at Huang Chong and said, the sword is a good sword, so he is also a master.

"It's okay, don't pretend to be struck by lightning, but you are right, I am really not interested in the name of a dying person."

swoosh...

The man didn't talk nonsense with Huang Chong, the sword in his hand pulled out a sword flower, and stabbed Huang Chong, a very beautiful flower, a flower that killed people.

It was really a familiar swordsmanship. The former owner of the sword in Huang Chong's hand, General Liu, had used the same swordsmanship, but the swordsmanship attainment of the person in front of him was obviously higher than that of General Liu.

In this way, there is no need to say more about the origin of the person in front of him.

when!
One sword breaks all spells, the opponent makes a move, Huang Chongcai draws the sword, but he is able to strike first and strike first, picking and smashing the sword flower neatly.

"What a fast swordsman." As he said, the speed of his sword moves to a higher level. Coupled with the miraculous and unpredictable footwork of his upper and lower feet, there are countless changes in his sword moves out of thin air, making it even more elusive. A real swordsman will really be confused by his swordsmanship.

It's a pity that what he met was Huang Chong. Huang Chong used the basic Huashan swordsmanship. There is no way to do it, and it is gradually falling into a disadvantage.

"Your bragging ability is much better than your swordsmanship. If you only have this level, leave it to me today." Huang Chong laughed, and the sword in his hand was three points faster.

And the postman also took the opportunity to retrieve the documents, mounted his horse, and after saying thank you to Huang Chong, he rode his horse and galloped towards Luoyang again.

It's really a good delivery from Datang.
