Chapter 87 Guarding the Station
Chapter 087
Night falls!
The first quarter moon hanging high in the night sky was gradually covered by floating dark clouds. Outside the brightly lit post station, the earth was quickly shrouded in darkness, and the darkness quickly overwhelmed the carriage outside the post station.
The four riders arranged by the Murong family either sat or stood or leaned in the four directions of the carriage, devotedly taking turns to rest and protect the escort of the Murong family.
The NPCs in the rivers and lakes were greatly reduced in fighting power once it was dark, and they had to rest. This made Kaixin and his party somewhat depressed, and they had to stop and spend the night in the station.
However, the few people who are happy are not idle.
Several people brought out the horses prepared by the Murong family, and without caring about disturbing the people in the middle of the night, they rode on the horses one by one, and then slipped up inside the wall of the post station.
Because they are ordinary domesticated horses, the group quickly became familiar with their own horses, at least they understood how to drive the car forward, stop, and change direction, and they never tire of it.
Happy to become the alternative in the team again...
Whether it is the movements of pulling the rope, stepping on the horse, or some small skills of controlling the horse, and the short passwords, they are all extremely proficient and straightforward. It seems that a veteran who has been driving a horse for many years can easily control the horse and stand still, watching the excitement of the crowd. Noisily taming horses in the yard.
"Senior brother, where did you learn your horsemanship? It makes people feel relaxed and comfortable just looking at it." Xiaofu beat the horse jerky and came to Kaixin's side, and said in her mouth, but her arms were stiff enough, and her eyes were fixed on the body below her. The horse does not dare to relax in the slightest.
"Well, I used to ride in the north for a while."
"No wonder."
Pursing her lips, Xiaofu pulled the rope suddenly, and rode her horse close to Kaixin after a long time.
At close range, the fragrant wind lingers, and with the help of the light, you can see the red and tender skin and dripping sweat on her cheeks and neck.
Seemingly noticing that the happy and slightly sunburned eyes were too close to her, Xiaofu blushed, lowered her head quickly, and subconsciously clamped down on the horse's belly, "Drive!", and ran away to take refuge.
Kaixin just realized Do Not See Evil, and suddenly turned her head to look to the east. Out of the corner of her eye, she just caught a vague black shadow lightly blending into the shadows behind the station.
"Guard!"
With a loud shout, he happily patted the steed without hesitation, jumped up with a 'hu', kicked the eaves of the post station building one after another, and fell on the roof of the post station in twos and threes. The situation inside and outside the courtyard wall, See everything at a glance.
"call!"
Crane Eleven's speed was not slow, almost at the moment Kaixin flew up to the roof, he also jumped up from the vines on the steed and landed beside Kaixin, his eyes swept around vigilantly, and the wooden bow had already fallen into his hand.
At this moment, the men arranged by the Murong Mansion were awakened, drew their knives and drew their swords, and guarded the four directions of the escort car as if they were facing a big enemy, looking left and right;
Gui Jianchou, Xu Lang, Lan Yan, and Xiaofu were at a loss at this time, leading the horses, wondering whether the division should ride the horses to meet the enemy, or abandon the horses to fight like Kaixin and He Shiyi.
Before the four of them could respond in time, Kaixin and Heshiyi had already spotted the enemy from the roof. Several black shadows were huddled in a shadowy corner of the station, very inconspicuous. Rows of torches suddenly appeared, and figures rushed in from outside in an endless stream!
"kill!"
"Not a single member of Murong's family will stay!"
"Brothers! Come on!!"
The people who broke in from outside the station were the gang of strongmen hovering outside the station. There were more than 30 people in number, all of them had the cultivation of entry and exit, and they made a living by robbing small convoys and business travellers.
He was originally discovered by He Shiyi very early, but the other party's spies were very vigilant and drove away from a distance, which made the competition between the two come to an end without a problem.
This group of gangsters is also considered smart. They don't do anything during the day, but choose to attack the official station at night when the convoy is stationed and their vigilance is low. They attack a station with only two soldiers stationed...
but!
Their raid plan had apparently failed,
The joyful vigilance not only made the four passers-by react, but also the two soldiers guarding the door rushed in from the outside.
"What courage!"
Although the soldier's status is light, he is full of righteousness! Shout out! Not at all afraid of the gangsters who climbed over the wall and rushed into the gangsters on the opposite side with their guns...
Almost at the same time, the six people heard a crisp prompt from the system:
"Ding!"
"Trigger the station guard mission!"
"While protecting the bodyguard car, assist the station soldiers to guard the station and protect the officials from being killed. After completing the first step, you can continue to go to Shangjing City and continue to perform subsequent bodyguard tasks; complete the second step, and you will gain the favor of the court; complete The third step is to gain the favor of the station soldiers and officials..."
"Do it!"
When the system finished prompting, the two post station soldiers had already caught fire with a group of gangsters who had climbed over the wall, and were quickly surrounded and fell into a very dangerous situation. Happy to hand and mouth, the Willow Leaf Flying Knife turned into two streamers, and the distance between the two The man in black closest to the soldier fell to the ground, temporarily relieving the soldier's crisis...
With the crane eleven wooden bow in hand, the bowstring vibrated, and the three arrows fell into the crowd in different directions at a faster speed.
Three muffled groans sounded from the crowd, and the bodies of the three bandits in black were pierced by arrows, and they staggered out of the battle circle, but He Shiyi frowned after a glance.
Although the hit rate is good, but compared with the happy throwing knives on both sides, the latter's throwing knives directly took away two people, but his three arrows only reduced the combat effectiveness of the three men in black. The gap immediately appeared.
Happy but didn't care about it.
In his opinion, there are three levels of completion for tasks triggered by accident. The more perfect the completion, the higher the difficulty and the higher the reward.
Therefore, no matter what, the soldiers at the station must not have any accidents!
Shaking out two Willow Leaf Flying Knives, the Jasper Skyworm quickly slipped them into his hands!
"cover me!"
With his hands behind his back, Kaixin swept off the roof, soared into the air, and landed among a group of men in black surrounding the soldiers;
"Lan Yan and Xiaofu protect the escort car, Xu Lang! Let's go!!"
Seeing that Kaixin fell into the gangsters alone, Gui Jianchou finally reacted, slapped the horse's back, jumped high, and pulled out a half-foot-wide black broad knife from behind with a "swish".
puff! puff! puff!
A series of arrows, Crane Eleven was condescending, aiming at the man in black without any pressure, a pot of arrows quickly shot empty, but unfortunately, since the first round of raids, his hit rate dropped sharply from 100% to 100%. fifty-fifty;
If so, Youhe Eleven performed fire cover at high altitude, happily and successfully landed beside the post station soldiers. The moment his toes touched the ground, his body flexibly avoided the passing swords. Amidst the sound of metal clashing, Jasper The silkworm's hands clenched into fists around his waist!
"roll!"
He punched decisively, with a low howl of a tiger, and hit the nearest two men in black very directly and brutally!
boom!
The man in black knocked over the people behind him like he was hit by a train, and the neat lineup behind was immediately disrupted by the two flying upside down.
