Chapter 1119 Encounter on the Road

The only person who was shocked beyond measure by Yin Liting's sudden ability to walk was Zhou Zhiruo.

He dressed up slightly and said goodbye to Su Yi and others after all the Emei disciples had left, and left alone.

A person with shattered limbs and joints could suddenly stand up, this kind of thing is nothing short of a fairy tale. But for Su Sanqi and Xiao Zhao, this thing was not surprising at all when it happened to Su Yi.

Su Sanqi had long known that Su Yi was not an ordinary person, and Xiao Zhao had even seen the breeze and the moon with her own eyes. Even such an outrageous thing as a ghost could be accepted, so Yin Liting's thing was really not worth making a fuss about.

But Zhou Zhiruo felt that her entire outlook on life was about to be overturned.

If the joints were broken, they would be paralyzed. Isn't this common sense?

Why didn't common sense apply to Yin Liting?

"Brother Su, what's going on?" Zhou Zhiruo looked at Yin Liting and his two horses disappearing into the night in disbelief, "Sixth Hero Yin, he, he..."

"Sister Zhiruo, there are still many things you don't know about Brother!" Xiao Zhao said proudly, as if showing off her new toy.

Su Yi smiled and changed the subject, "I don't know what tricks the Tartars have in capturing people from the six major sects, but there is no time to waste, otherwise things may change. Let's rest for two hours and then continue on our way!"

Zhou Zhiruo's desire for knowledge was bursting, but seeing that Su Yi didn't say anything, she had to give up. She felt lost and sad, thinking that he still treated me as an outsider after all.

This is the difference between her and Xiao Zhao's personality. If it were Xiao Zhao, she would have come up to pester Su Yi and act like a spoiled child, but Zhou Zhiruo couldn't do such a thing. She was trying to make herself look like a lady from a noble family, for fear that Su Yi would look down on her if she behaved improperly.

After all, they had been rushing for a day. The four of them rested for two hours and finally recovered some spirits. It was still dark at this time, but they had to set off again.

Although Su Yi knew that the people captured from the six major sects would not be in great danger, it was hard to say that this was necessarily the case.

Su Yi did not become a prophet to resolve this incident in its infancy, naturally in order to become the only one who saved the six major sects and maximize the benefits.

But if things deviate from the original track, then this calculation will be in vain, which is naturally not what Su Yi wants to see.

Therefore, for Su Yi, rushing on the road urgently is really not just a pretense.

In the afternoon of the next day, the four of them arrived at Yumen Pass.

When they reached places with people along the way, Su Yi and others would disperse to inquire whether there were large groups of Mongolian soldiers escorting "prisoners" passing by.

Escorting hundreds of people to the east would definitely cause a lot of noise, so it was not difficult to find out the news.

The four learned that four days ago, a large group of Mongolian soldiers used prisoner carts to transport a large number of prisoners, entered Yumen Pass, and went east.

However, the prisoner carts were all covered with black cloth, and outsiders could not see what was inside.

"Four days..." Su Sanqi frowned and said to Su Yi, "Sir, the difference is four days of walking. Even if they are not as fast as us, we want to catch up, I am afraid that the hope is slim. Especially after crossing Hexi, the roads are connected in all directions. We don't know where the other party is going. I am afraid..."

Zhou Zhiruo and Xiao Zhao also looked at Su Yi, waiting for him to make a decision.

The four people chased for two days and got such a result. Of course, they were unwilling. But if they continued to chase, they would be in vain. They were all a little confused and hoped that Su Yi could give them confidence and guidance.

Su Yi knew that the three of them were discouraged with a glance, so he smiled and said confidently: "I dare to bet that within three days, this matter will be resolved! Do you want to bet with me?"

"Yes!" Xiao Zhao's eyes lit up and she was the first to respond. She smiled and came forward with her chin raised: "I bet that it will take less than three days, only two days to see the result. If I lose, I am willing to wash clothes and cook for my elder brother, and serve tea and water for the rest of my life! If I win, then my elder brother can never leave Xiao Zhao behind in this life! No matter where you go, you must take Xiao Zhao with you!"

Su Sanqi smiled and turned away when she heard this.

Zhou Zhiruo was stunned, with a complex look of envy and resentment in her eyes.

Sometimes she actually envied Xiao Zhao for being so bold in love and hate and expressing her feelings directly.

But she couldn't do it.

Su Yi couldn't help but laugh and said: "Even if we don't make this bet, you won."

Xiao Zhao smiled happily.

Su Yi smiled at Zhou Zhiruo again: "Zhiruo, what do you say?"

Zhou Zhiruo said "Ah", a little flustered, and blushed: "You, what do you want me to say? I don't know! I... I think you are right..."

Hearing her incoherent words, Xiao Zhao couldn't help but chuckled, which made Zhou Zhiruo blush even more and felt useless.

Su Yi hurriedly said: "If there is indeed a result within three days, then I will give each of you three a gift!"

"What gift!" Xiao Zhao was diverted and asked expectantly.

"Sir, I'll forget it." Su Sanqi smiled.

Zhou Zhiruo was also looking forward to it, and her previous tangled and depressed thoughts faded a little.

Su Yi smiled heartily and got on the horse: "Everyone has a share! Let's go, let's go!"

After such a small episode, Xiao Zhao and the other three worked hard and followed Su Yi all the way under the stars and the moon, traveling day and night, and only resting for two hours a day.

Two days later, the four arrived at the border of Xiliangzhou.

The weather in the northwest is like a child's face, changing at any time. In the morning, you can still wear cotton clothes to travel, but at noon, the sun is scorching and you will sweat profusely even in a short shirt.

Except for the dozens of miles east of the ancient city of Xiliang, the whole road is desert and Gobi with no shade. Su Yi can still hold on, but the other three can't stand the heat.

Su Yi was afraid that the three would get heatstroke and dehydration if they continued walking, so he had to point to an oasis in front of them and told them to rest there for two hours and go again when the temperature dropped in the west of Jinwu.

The three of them cheered together, which showed the hardship of the journey.

The oasis that Su Yi mentioned arrived in the blink of an eye. It was a small market, similar to Niya Bazaar.

In the vast Western Regions, such small markets are very common, because the northwest is vast and sparsely populated, almost all deserts and Gobi, and there is such a small oasis almost every few hundred kilometers. Passing merchants and pedestrians will inevitably stop to replenish supplies and rest when they encounter such a small oasis, so some people saw the business opportunity and opened a shop here to make money from passing merchants. Over time, a market was formed.

The four of them came to the market called Hongshaqu, and saw from afar that there were Mongolian soldiers stationed here, checking at the intersections.

Since arriving in Hamili, all the major passes and intersections have been guarded by the Yuan army. Su Yi and others avoided them all the way, and if they couldn't avoid them, they would spend money to buy safety. If they met someone who didn't have eyes, they would show some martial arts casually, and the Tartars would not seek death, and most of them would let them go honestly.

Therefore, when they saw the Yuan army, they didn't react much, but just paid the toll like others and entered the market.

These Mongolian soldiers who blocked the road and collected fees were also discerning. They saw that Su Yi and the other four were not easy to mess with, and they didn't dare to make trouble.

This market was not too big, there was an inn and a tea stall. When the four of them passed by the tea stall, they saw that the tea stall was full of people at this moment.

Eight big men dressed as hunters were sitting around the tea stall, with Mongolian scimitars on their waists and bows and arrows on their backs.

Their horses were all tall Dayuan horses, majestic and tall, and they were obviously extraordinary.

Although the eight people were sitting at different tables, they were obviously in the same group. When they saw Su Yi and the other four people coming, the eight people's eyes were all locked on Su Yi, the leader, with sharp eyes and bright eyes.

At the table in the middle of the eight people, there was a handsome and delicate young man sitting in a dignified posture. His face was as white as jade, his eyes were as clear as water, and his expression was free and easy. He was wearing a royal blue silk shirt and gently waving a white jade folding fan. The air of elegance and luxury that could not be concealed came to his face.

When Su Yi rode over, the handsome man's eyes also moved with Su Yi's movement, and his lips were raised with a faint smile.

Su Yi looked at her, his eyes went from her face to her neck, and then to her hands, and then he smiled slightly and retracted his eyes.

After Su Yi and the group of people passed by each other, Su Sanqi rode a few steps quickly to Su Yi and said in a low voice: "Sir, these people all have the air of a soldier, and their origins should not be simple."

Xiao Zhao behind Su Yi interrupted: "That young man is a woman."

Su Sanqi was surprised: "Really? No wonder she is so pretty."

Su Yi had already guessed the identity of that person, but he did not reveal it. He just smiled faintly and said: "Don't pay attention to it..."

Halfway through his words, he heard a sudden scream in the inn in front of him, followed by a chaotic quarrel.

Su Yi frowned and immediately stopped talking.

The next moment, he saw a group of people dressed as merchants scrambling to escape from the door, some of them were still bleeding.

Following them, a group of Mongolian soldiers holding steel knives and spears chased out fiercely, cursing and drunken. They raised their knives and stabbed people with their spears. In the blink of an eye, several people fell in a pool of blood.

Su Yi's expression turned cold: "Sanqi!"

Clang!

Su Sanqi immediately drew his sword and jumped off his horse and rushed over. He dodged the fleeing crowd with three dodged moves and two dodges. He stabbed a Mongolian soldier to death with his long sword. Then he attacked like picking flowers and leaves. His body was agile and in the blink of an eye, several Mongolian soldiers died under his sword.

A Mongolian officer originally stepped out of the inn with a grin. Seeing such a scene, he became furious and rushed out with a sword, cursing angrily. Behind him, seven or eight Mongolian soldiers swarmed out.

Zhou Zhiruo suddenly jumped off her horse to join the battle, and also killed people with every sword.

The movement here had already alarmed the young master and his subordinates at the tea stall on the other side.

The young master suddenly looked cold and cursed, "Damn it!"

A big man came forward and said, "Sir, with such a commotion, they will definitely not stay here for long, and our arrangements in the inn will be in vain."

"The thieves are everywhere in the world, and it is caused by these officers and soldiers who do not care about the people!" The young man snorted coldly, but his voice was crisp and delicate, very pleasant to hear. "Damn it, it ruined our good thing!"

"Then what should we do?" The big man asked carefully, "There are still dozens of officers and soldiers outside, they will definitely be attracted here..."

"They are dead!" The young man closed his fan with a "swish" and said coldly, "In this case, why not make use of the waste and make a good relationship with him."

"What you mean is..."

"Don't leave any alive." The young man said lightly.

"Yes!"

The battle at the inn ended quickly, leaving the corpses of the Mongolian soldiers all over the ground. The group of merchants had already run away.

The reason for this fight is still unknown, but it doesn't matter. Along the way, the Mongolians have been killing Han people and robbing merchants at will, which has become normal.

Civilian law and order were completely destroyed, and the Mongols were indistinguishable from soldiers and bandits. These were actually the death warrants for the Mongol Yuan Dynasty. This short-lived dynasty was already showing signs of doomsday everywhere.

"Brother Su, this place is not far from Xuanwuwei, where many soldiers are stationed. It is not suitable to stay here for a long time. We can't rest. We have to go quickly." Zhou Zhiruo's long sword was stained with blood, but her face did not change. She just panted slightly and walked over to Su Yi.

Following Master Miejue all the way to the west, Zhou Zhiruo had to fight and kill in person, and many people died on her hands. Killing a few Tartars was really nothing to her.

"We have to deal with the soldiers outside first." Su Sanqi was so angry that he said, "Sir, there are at least dozens of them. We'd better take the initiative to avoid being set up by them..."

Su Yi was about to agree, but suddenly he had an idea and turned his head to look.

He saw that several big men on the tea stall next to him had stood up and left the tea stall. The eight men were extremely agile, and they all drew their bows and arrows, waiting attentively.

Soon there was a noise, and an officer rode a tall horse and charged forward, holding a scimitar in his hand.

Behind him, there were dozens of soldiers running wildly.

But the next second, with a whoosh, a sharp arrow pierced the officer's forehead.

The arrow was shot by the man who had just spoken to the young master. This man's archery was accurate and powerful, which was definitely rare in the world.

His arrow was like a horn of battle. Soon, the eight people shot their arrows together. Each of them had the ability to shoot through the willows at a hundred steps and kill a Mongolian soldier with every arrow!

Although the Mongolian soldiers were caught off guard and shocked, they shouted loudly and were about to scatter and attack in formation.

But these eight people shot arrows very quickly, and shot more than 30 people to death in the blink of an eye. Seeing that the situation was not good, the rest of the Mongolian soldiers whistled and turned around to flee.

But these eight people were merciless. They chased after them and killed them one by one with one arrow. In the blink of an eye, they slaughtered all the Mongolian soldiers.

This scene stunned Su Sanqi, Zhou Zhiruo and Xiao Zhao.

"Brother, they are helping us again!" Xiao Zhao was surprised, "Who are they?"

Su Sanqi also had a good impression of these people: "It seems that they should be from some righteous army, otherwise they would not have such skilled archery and horse tactics."

As the two were talking, the handsome young man walked out of the tea stall, looked around with his hands behind his back, and finally looked over here from a distance.

"Young man, do you want to thank them?" Su Sanqi asked.

"No need." Su Yi looked at the young man from a distance, and he could even see the young man's confident and playful eyes.

Perhaps she was also waiting for Su Yi to thank her and make friends with her.
