I Wish to Ride the Wind - Chapter 38
The two accompanying guards, one named Feng Jia and the other named He Si, were arrogant about their outstanding martial arts skills. At first they saw Xie Chengfeng’s tender skin and tender meat, and they were contemptuous, until they encountered the bandits who blocked the road and robbed them. The bandits were a dozen or so, and they didn’t pay attention to them at all.
After receiving the eldest princess’s gold and silver, it’s time for the men to stand up… Feng Jia thought while holding down the scabbard, suddenly a slender white hand stretched out from the side, and pulled out the steel knife on his waist.
Xie Chengfeng weighed the knife in his hand and said, “Take it lightly.”
Feng Jia cursed in his heart. Lengtouqing, this is not the time to play! Feng Jia: “Young Master can’t do it, the sword has no eyes, let’s give it back to the villain.”
“You two, take good care of Lady Shen.” Xie Chengfeng said, rushing towards the bandits with a knife.
After a moment.
Xie Chengfeng raised his sword and stood among the piles of bodies, which were all curled up on the ground, clutching his right shoulder or wailing or begging for mercy. All of them had their right arms chopped off.
Feng Jia and He Si looked at each other.
You are so good, what do you want us to do? Is there a lack of audience? Do I need to applaud you?
Xie Chengfeng came over and raised his hand, the steel knife choked into its sheath.
“From now on, you should just protect Lady Shen, understand?”
“The little man understands.”
——
Shimen County is surrounded by four-dimensional mountains, with rocks as the gateway, hence the name. To enter Shimen County, you need to pass through a valley, the valley is narrow, and the cliffs on both sides are steep, like a knife. The carriage was inconvenient, so Shen Jiajia abandoned the carriage and rode with Xie Chengfeng. A group of four were walking in the valley, when suddenly there was a pile of branches in front of them blocking the way, and the branches were piled as high as the beams of the house. Before Shen Jiajia could think about it, she suddenly heard a loud “bang” not far behind her. She turned around and saw that there were a lot of branches behind her, obviously they had just fallen from a height, or more precisely. Said to be pushed down from a height.
Feng Jia shouted: “Not good!”
Before he could finish his sentence, he saw two rockets flying down from a height very quickly and hitting the branches. The branches were obviously soaked in grease, and burst into flames when they caught fire. The air was filled with billowing smoke, rushing towards them. Come. The three took the reins to steady the frightened horse.
Feng Jia sniffed and said vigilantly, “Young Master, there is a fragrant incense in this smoke, or there are other poisons. We must immediately escape from here and go to the upper air outlet.”
Xie Chengfeng took Shen Jiajia into his arms, “Hold your breath and close your eyes.” Saying that, the claw cable flew out from his wrist, hooked on the unevenness on the cliff, and flew on the stone wall with his strength. Agile as an ape. Shen Jiajia was buried in his arms and hugged him tightly. She didn’t dare to breathe or raise her head. Her heartbeat was so fast that her chest was uncomfortable. For a moment, she thought she was going to die here. Think about it and die in his arms. , not too bad.
When he landed, Shen Jiajia still had some unreal dizziness. Fresh, cool air entered her lungs, and she felt like she was finally alive.
Xie Chengfeng looked at her carefully from top to bottom, and finally rubbed her head, “It’s okay.”
Shen Jiajia blushed, “Well.”
Feng Jia and He Si had no weapons by their side, and they fled very embarrassedly. Feng Jia’s arm was scalded, and He Si even lost his beard. Fortunately, he finally escaped.
Feng Jia scolded: “This thief wants to smoke us to death, so vicious!”
He Si frowned and said, “This valley is not over yet, and I don’t know if there is still an ambush ahead.”
Xie Chengfeng pondered, that man was very cunning, and such a valley was indeed suitable for ambush.
Shen Jiajia asked, “Can you detour?”
Feng Jia took out the map, and the four of them looked around the map and concluded that if they could go around, there was a fork in the road ahead. It would take some time to take a detour, and the road was not a closed road, so it was more unfamiliar to them and equally dangerous.
Several people looked at each other, Xie Chengfeng finally said: “Let’s go around.”
The horse has died in the fire and can only walk. They wanted to get out of here as soon as possible, and their pace unconsciously quickened, and they reached the fork in a short while. A few people walked out of the valley, breathed a sigh of relief, went down and then up the mountain road, and finally came to a rope bridge.
The rope bridge is about six or seven feet long, connecting two cliffs, and below it is an abyss, entwined with wisps of mist, which cannot be seen clearly, but at least a hundred feet deep. Feng Jia was worried that there might be an ambush, so he walked onto the bridge first, and jumped in the middle of the bridge. The rope bridge was swaying, but there was nothing unusual about it. Feng Jia walked to the opposite side in one breath, turned around and beckoned to Xie Chengfeng, “Master, this way is feasible.”
Xie Chengfeng and the three came to the bridge.
Feng Jia stood on the bridge and watched. When Xie Chengfeng and Shen Jiajia walked to the middle of the bridge, Feng Jia saw a light slanting from the top of the mountain not far away. The martial arts practitioners had excellent eyesight. He yelled in a hurry: “Not good! Young master be careful!”
Shen Jiajia turned her head and saw the approaching rocket. She felt strange in her heart. If she wanted to kill someone, it was enough to be poisoned. Why use a rocket?
A guess flashed across her mind, and she blurted out: “There is a **!”
Xie Chengfeng reacted very quickly, turning over and jumping off the bridge with her arms around her. When Shen Jiajia fell in the air, she saw the rocket heading straight to the bottom of the bridge. Naturally, she also saw a large package tied to the bottom of the bridge. Therefore, the target of the rocket at the beginning was not them, but the ** bag under the bridge.
Almost as soon as the rocket was nailed up, the **** bag exploded, and the heat wave made her face aching. Shen Jiajia turned her face to look at the abyss below, thinking, is she still going to die…
**Break the cable bridge from the middle, and the broken bridge fell to both sides. Xie Chengfeng took the opportunity to raise his hand, the claw cable flew out, and firmly clasped one end of the broken bridge. A huge swing draws a thrilling arc between the cliffs.
In Shen Jiajia’s ears was the whistling sound of the wind, like Devil May Cry, and in front of him was Xie Chengfeng’s chest, wider than the sea and warmer than the charcoal fire on a winter night.
Above his head, his voice sounded against the wind: “Jiajia, don’t be afraid.”
When the swing reached the end, Xie Chengfeng tapped the stone wall with the sole of his foot a few times to relieve the momentum. Shen Jiajia looked up and looked up. At this time, Feng Jia was leaning on the edge of the cliff to watch them. Seeing that they finally reached the stone wall, he immediately said, “Young master, work harder!”
At this time, they were about three or four feet away, and Xie Chengfeng rushed up for a while with the claw cable, and suddenly said to Shen Jiajia, “Jiajia, this claw cable has been used too much today, and it’s about to die.”
Shen Jiajiaman thought that they would be able to escape from death soon, at this time it was like a bolt from the blue: “Ah? Then let me go!”
“No, I said I could protect you.”
“Chengfeng, let me go, let me go…”
Xie Chengfeng hugged her and climbed up for a while, “Jiajia, don’t forget me.” After speaking, he threw Shen Jiajia up with all his strength, and Feng Jia quickly caught her.
Shen Jiajia broke away from Feng Jia and climbed to the edge of the cliff desperately. Feng Jia was so panicked that he hurriedly grabbed her, “Calm down, lady!”
She was lying on the edge of the cliff and saw Xie Chengfeng, she just threw her too hard, the claw cable couldn’t hold it anymore, and he fell into the abyss facing her. A reassuring smile.
