Chapter 2 Chapter One

dusk.The cold wind whizzed across the snow-covered field, like a blade scraping a chopping board, killing all life in the world, and the sky was so gloomy that it looked like the face of an executioner during execution.This year's Jiangnan is different from previous years. The snow comes early and heavy. At this time, the cold wind blows, and a layer of ice freezes on the snow. The wind is violent and the road is difficult, and the horse is late due to the snow and ice.But there are still people who are struggling to walk in this ice and snow. It was a team of horses. Twenty or thirty black horses came slowly. The horseshoes stepped on the solid ice. The distant mountains were deserted and the wilderness was vast. It seemed that there was only this monotonous sound in the world.The people on the horse were all wearing black trench coats, black horse hats, black scabbards under their waists, and even the riding whips in their hands were black.

There is only one exception. Among this group of people, there was a horse-drawn prison cart. In the cart sat a man whose hands and feet were bound by heavy iron chains. Only one head was exposed, but his hair was disheveled and his face was disheveled, which could only be vaguely seen. The man's face was bloody. The cavalry marched slowly, with a man in black at the head with a stern face, a pair of sharp eyes flickering non-stop, passing over the frozen trees and mounds, as if an enemy would emerge from inside at any moment.Beside his saddle, there is a long brocade belt, from which a sharp spear point is exposed.

The wind was colder and more urgent. The horse team turned a mountain pass, and suddenly the leader in black waved his hand, and the horse team stopped immediately. It turned out that there was a grass pavilion on the side of the road. There was a green cloth wine flag on the eaves. It was raging, and the smell of wine was bursting. Seventeen or eighteen people who looked like porters were sitting around drinking and gambling. Seeing these people, the man in black stopped for a moment, stretched out his hand and made a gesture behind him, and the faces of the men in black behind him all became serious, and they stretched their hands to their waists one by one, holding the handle of the knife.The man at the head drove the cavalry and walked over slowly.

The porters seemed to have not seen the twenty or thirty men in black at all, and all their eyes were fixed on one of the bearded beards, who was holding three dice, his face was flushed, and he yelled loudly. "Leopard! Kill all." He loosened his hand and threw the dice. At the same time, the roof of the grass pavilion suddenly flew up and hit the horse team. It turned out that there were more than ten people hiding under the roof. , everyone has a continuous crossbow in their hands, which can fire nine arrows at a time. Those people raised the roof, and then arrows flew towards the men in black roaring like migratory locusts.The healthy horse hissed and fell down, and the men in black riding the horses were all very vigorous, and they tore off the windbreakers in unison, like twenty or thirty soft shields, covering the whole body.The man in black at the head had an eight-foot long spear in his hand, and swung the top of the thatched pavilion back.

The grass pavilion immediately collapsed, and all the people inside rushed up with their knives in their hands.The leader of the man in black shouted: "Protect the prison car." With a flick of his spear, he passed an enemy through his chest and flew out.The bearded man came up to meet him, and chopped down his face with a gold-backed machete.The sword was sharp and the gun was in a hurry. During the fierce battle, the ice and snow on the ground splashed everywhere. The man in black and the same number of enemies fought hand-to-hand with the same number of enemies. They all gritted their teeth and kept their mouths shut. Even if the knife was cut on the bone, they didn't make a sound. The blood stained the ground in an instant.

Just when he was in a difficult situation, he suddenly heard a loud sound, a three-foot-long giant arrow was shot down from the hillside and was nailed to the prison cart. A man dressed in gold, stepped on a golden thread, flew over like a dragonfly on water, and landed on the prison car.The nearest man in black raised his knife and slashed. The man in gold didn't lift his head, but kicked the man in black's chest in a row with two kicks. He heard a noise from his body, and the man in black had broken his ribs countless times. Root, immediately fell down. The man in black at the head shot three times in a row, forcing the bearded man back, and then with a wave of his hand, the iron gun flew towards the man in gold like lightning.As soon as he was about to be stabbed, a hole suddenly opened in the ground, and the man in gold fell into the hole together with the prison cart, followed by a khaki-colored man who jumped out of the hole, holding the flying gun in one hand.

Seeing these two people, the leader of the man in black stared, and said: "Golden Dragon Rat, I never thought that the twelve zodiac signs are still alive." Jinlong shook his golden clothes and said with a smile: "The fortune has not yet been made, how can people do it?" Can you die? Boss Hu, these people are entrusted to you." The bearded man said loudly: "Yes, Lord Jin and Tu Ye just walk, let's see which eagle-clawed grandson dares to chase after him?" Jin Long laughed loudly, separated his hands, and the prison cart shattered instantly, and he lifted the prisoner up from inside with one hand.Unexpectedly, the prisoner raised his head abruptly, and the iron chain in his hand wrapped around Jinlong's neck. Jinlong was stunned, but when the prisoner used his hands hard, Jinlong's eyeballs would pop out, and his tongue would stick out. Unable to shrink back, he gave up without even screaming.

The ground mouse's face suddenly became like the clothes on his body, and he suddenly screamed: "You are not...not..." The prisoner sneered: "Yes, I am not." The ground mouse's eyes suddenly changed Very frightened: "You...you are Zhang Fengwu?" The prisoner nodded, and the ground mouse suddenly raised his hand and threw the iron gun in his hand at Zhang Fengwu, then shrank back and burrowed into the tunnel under the soil.Zhang Fengwu caught the iron gun with one hand, and sneered: "Zodiac, goodbye." Then he raised his hand and threw the iron gun.There was a light sound above the ground mouse's head, and the spear had pierced him from the back, nailing him to death in the tunnel.

Seeing that the situation was not going well, Boss Hu whistled, and led the surviving brothers to flee like frightened wild animals. Zhang Fengwu pulled out the iron gun, handed it to the man in black, and said, "Li Hua, tell me to catch up quickly." Li Hua said, "Tou Zhang, what should Boss Hu of Lianyun Mountain do? Let him run away." Beware of leaking the news." Zhang Fengwu smiled lightly: "Boss Hu is just a small role in the underworld, and I'm going to catch big fish this time. I heard that many people have come to this road in recent days. But be careful." Li Hua said: "So what? Isn't your elder brother coming soon? With you two, I can withstand the sky falling." Zhang Fengwu said: "My senior brother didn't see you for a while. Walking around the rivers and lakes, I don’t know why, but it’s better to come this time, and I also want to see him. Okay, let’s send the signal.”

Li Hua nodded, took out a flag flower rocket, and put it in the sky. The rocket exploded in the air, and the sound traveled for several miles.After the sound rang for a while, the surroundings were still quiet. Zhang Fengwu and Li Hua looked at each other and said at the same time: "Not good!" Zhang Fengwu jumped on a fast horse and ran towards the way she came. After running a few miles, she saw a group of merchants lying on the road, groaning unceasingly.Several carts loaded with cloth had been smashed, and the road was a mess.Zhang Fengwu raised one person's head and said loudly, "Zhu Ye, where are the people in the car?"

Zhu Ye gritted his teeth and said, "We were robbed. We... were poisoned by the poisonous smoke." Zhang Fengwu rolled his eyelids and said, "It doesn't matter, the poisonous smoke doesn't kill you, it just makes you weak and painful. It's only an hour. How many people are here?" Zhu Ye said: "One person, one horse." Zhang Fengwu nodded, with a serious face, and after a while, he stood up, looked at the distant wilderness for a while, and said slowly: "Shen Cansheng, don't be happy, the world is big at this time, but there is no place for you The land where you were saved. The one who saved you will never let you go." The land is vast, as if it was snowing again. In the distant field, a man in white robes was laughing loudly. The white horse under his crotch was flying with all four hooves, crushing the ice and snow. The snowfields are integrated into one.Only laughter still echoed in the cold wind. Then night fell upon the land.
