Chapter 172 Small Post

This is just the first attack...

Xu Yi seemed to be underestimating the killer a little, and was feeling a little relaxed. He should eat and sleep. It was much easier than those three days at the beginning. However, Yingniang became more tense.

Yingniang is more familiar with the world than Xu Yi and even these military men. Yingniang has also followed her master to explore. It is absolutely impossible for a bounty of one hundred taels of gold to be just a few.

This time, Yingniang did not take action and Xu Yi did not throw away gunpowder bullets. Just Zhao Zhonghan and the people from Gongming Palace could be enough to block this group of killers. It is obvious that the really overweight killers have not arrived yet.

Yingniang is familiar with the habits of killers. The more she is, the more she is the time to attack the target when she is hunting her.

Even the more the masters are among the killers, the less likely they will be to form groups and the more unexpected the methods are. However, this attack is simply not eye-catching.

Xu Yi was really relaxed. Apart from not removing the few gunpowder bullets from the sleeve, even the armor was no longer lining. Yingniang did not stop it. Sometimes lining the armor may be a burden.

Xu Yi accompanied Zhao Zhonghan and his group, rode a horse and walked with Lao Liu. He listened to their memories of their passionate blood in the Western Regions, and interjected a few words from time to time.

Xu Yi was a little interested in Old Liu, which was also the reason why Zhao Zhonghan deliberately recommended and Liu Han wanted to make friends. They all told Liu Han's achievements when he was a military officer in the Western Regions in his early years.

Today's itinerary was not allowed to reach the expected post because of the attack. Seeing that it was already dark, the team arrived at another post.

This is indeed a post station, or a military post station, which is included in the list.

"Let's spend the night here tonight. The next itinerary requires the second plan to implement and be ready to make adjustments at any time."

Taking advantage of the time of assassination to return to Chang'an, Xu Yi originally wanted to delay the time of returning to Chang'an, hoping to use this to stagger the chaos in the court and not get involved in the cause and effect of the court struggles.

At the beginning, there were preparations for spending the night at the unplanned inn, and even camping. For this reason, Xu Yi also improved the military tent at this time and found craftsmen to make some sleeping bags in Caozhou.

Xu Yi decided to stay at this inn, so Zhao Zhonghan moved forward. He was preparing to enter the inn to inquire... At any time when you check in, someone must first inquire.

"Stop!"

As soon as Zhao Zhonghan's horse left the main force, Yingniang stopped shouting: "Shoot in first!"

Zhao Zhonghan didn't understand why, so he looked back at Xu Yi.

This is the military post. Fired crossbow arrows at the military post means provocative attacks on the army, and the soldiers in the post station can counterattack.

"Listen to Yingniang!"

Although Xu Yi did not understand Yingniang's intentions, he still supported Yingniang's decision.

An arrow shot out from Liu Han's hand, with some concerns. He did not shoot arrows at the main room of the post station. The direction of the shooting should be the location of the thatched house according to the layout of the post station.

In the evening, there were no pedestrians on this section of the road, and the inn built along the mountain seemed very quiet.

The sound of the arrow shooting seemed a little loud at this moment. The "whoosh" sounded, and standing outside the station gate ten steps away, you could hear the buzzing sound of the arrow falling on the wooden board.

Waiting for the inn to curse, but everything was quiet.

At this time, everyone was on guard.

"I'll go in and take a look!"

After Yingniang finished speaking, Xu Yi didn't have time to reply. Yingniang had already floated across the exterior wall of the station.

Xu Feng followed closely. Xu Yi and his group of other people quickly surrounded Xu Yi and surrounded Xu Yi tightly.

"Someone also go in and take a look!"

Old Liu shouted at Zhao Zhonghan and drove his horse forward. When the war horse was about to hit the outer wall of the post station, he pulled the reins and the man soared into the air from the horse's back... Old Liu is not only a military man, but also a martial artist.

At this time, the quiet place can be heard, the footsteps of Yingniang, Xu Feng and Liu Han in the post station, but there is no voice.

"Is this station revoked?"

"I don't know. It's said that this is a military post and it's impossible to revoke it."

Ling Fengzi and Zhao Zhonghan chatted casually, not really wanting to understand the current situation of the station, but to create a sound. The quiet force makes people feel so uncomfortable.

Fortunately, the station was not big, and in a short while, Yingniang came out with Xu Feng, and Liu Han came out too.

"No one is there, just like a soldier leaving to do business. There is no smell of blood, and nothing in the room has been moved. Xu Yi, I suggest sleeping tonight!"

"Mr. Jincheng, what this mistress said was very true. The old man also suggested sleeping outside the inn. At the beginning of the year, the old man went to Bianzhou and passed by the inn. He also came in to ask for water for drinks. The inn was not revoked, but no soldiers were present. The old man thought there must be a hidden story."

Both of the people who entered the station said this. Although Xu Yi was determined to go in and take a look, he still followed the good deeds.

At this time, you must not be careless. Xu Yi is cautious and cautious.

People sleep in the wild with rules, such as sheltering from the wind, leaning against the mountains, etc. In general, all people sleeping in the wild have the customary habit of choosing places, and it is generally the same.

Xu Yi and his men are no exception.

After looking around, they walked in one direction.

It was a low-lying land with slightly raised ridges on three sides, which made the dry grass in this low-lying land look very prosperous. During the Qingming Festival, the ground temperature was not high, and such thick dry grass could save contact with the coolness of the ground.

The ridges on three sides block the wind, and there is also a bare bluestone surface, which seems to avoid the attack of snakes and insects. It is a natural place to sleep in the open space, and a place to sleep in the open space at a glance.

“It’s pretty fragrant.”

I don’t know who muttered this, it should be one of Liu Han’s gangs.

Ling Fengzi has a great awareness of preaching and solving doubts: "The hillsides on three sides are full of pine trees, which is the smell of rosin......"

"Wait, stop!"

People had already walked into the low-lying area and were indeed sheltering from the wind. At this time, Xu Yi called to stop.

"I want to ask, what would you think if you encounter a station that should be there but no one?"

"Of course it's sleeping in the open!"

"So, take a look, is there any place that can be seen in the surrounding area that is more suitable for sleeping in the open than here?"

Xu Yi asked again.

At this time, Yingniang was the first to react. She grabbed Xu Yi and quickly retreated. She even kicked away several times one after another: "Leave quickly!"

The smooth ridge is at least ten meters long. This is early spring. Although there is a wind, it is not strong. It is hard to bring the smell of rosin to this low-lying area with the smell of rosin.

When Xu Yi said rosin, the first thing he thought of when Ling Fengzi said that it was rosin, which was a combustible substance and a combustible substance. Once rosin was used to ignite, the dead grass in the low-lying areas could be enough to burn all thirty or fifty people to death here.

Xu Yi was not sure, but Yingniang dared. Although Yingniang had never seen such a technique, she had also seen it in the records of the master.

The strangeness of the post station made her mind keep thinking about the post station, but she forgot to think about the surrounding environment.

Perhaps it was because Xu Yi immediately withdrew from the low-lying land, and after all the people were evacuated, there was nothing unusual. This also made people wonder, especially some of the people kicked away by Yingniang.

Of course, it was just the people Liu Han brought with him who had objections, and he would only accept Xu Yi and his family kicked by Yingniang.

"Leave some. Lao Zhao, shoot a rocket and see..."

Xu Yi was uncertain, just suspicious.

At this time, it is necessary to verify, not to prove one's own guess, but to consider that Liu Han and his group of people escorted them all the way, and people kicked them inexplicably, for fear of resentment.

Xu Yi was determined to recruit these people.

Just after Xu Yi spoke, Zhao Zhonghan ignited the Rockets, and it was already dark at this time.

A rocket was launched, and it felt like it had not landed yet. With a "boom", the fire rose...

"This is not a fire that can be burned by dead grass, it is rosin!"

Xu Yi also had to admire that this time he encountered not only a killer, but also a master who understood psychology.
