Chapter 1434 Pride and Prejudice and the Escort Agency
As spring and summer meet, the scenery on the road is pleasant.
It’s a pity that people who are in a hurry are never in the mood to appreciate.
After the fire in the post house, the entire escort team was on high alert, not daring to relax for a moment and not letting down any sign of trouble.
Shi Li was riding on a tall horse with her head slightly raised, looking energetic in the sun.
Actually, I didn’t sleep well last night and I was almost going crazy with sleepiness.
She kept complaining in her heart that the system was inhumane and made her journey through time so difficult.
[Host, don't be so ungrateful. You have traveled through time very well~]
[I admit that the system is a bitch, but this bitch clearly favors the anchor = =]
[No matter what! I am optimistic about Luo Qingyan, I like him! ]
【Looks like a dog! Pah! 】
After walking a little further, a carrier pigeon fell from the sky and landed on Shi Li's shoulder with precision and familiarity.
When Shi Li caught a glimpse of the tuft of red fluff on the pigeon's head dyed red by the juice of the marigold, she knew that it was a letter from Shi Buhuo.
Shi Li decisively opened the note on the pigeon's leg and raised her eyebrows at the information on the note.
Shi Buhuo said in the note that the original owner had a senior brother nearby who might come to meet them.
This senior brother was called Yi Can, who was a few years older than the original owner. His parents were old friends of Shi Buhuo, and he once came to Wenchang Escort Agency and learned martial arts from Shi Buhuo for several years, so the original owner was used to calling him senior brother.
In the original owner's few memories, Yi Can started to roam the world alone after leaving Wenchang Escort Agency, and they haven't seen each other for a long time.
As Shi Li thought about it, she reached out and stroked the Emei Spear that she never let go of. She also continued the original owner's little action.
Suddenly, a thunder sounded beside my ears, interrupting my thoughts.
When Shi Li looked up, she discovered that the cloudy weather had changed at some point, with dark clouds covering the sky and a heavy rain about to fall.
Now they are traveling around a mountain, and encountering heavy rain is not a good thing. It would be even worse if it causes mountain torrents or mudslides.
Shi Li no longer hesitated and directly ordered everyone to speed up and try to pass this dangerous mountain road as soon as possible.
But heavy rain always comes faster than human power, and it starts as soon as it starts.
After a few thunders, heavy rain fell and the sky was as black as ink.
Huge raindrops hit the mountain, gradually gathering into a stream that continuously flowed down, mixed with mud and some small stones, further hindering the progress.
This was also the first time that Luo Qingyan experienced this kind of weather. Even though he wore a hat and a raincoat, the heavy rain still made it impossible for him to open his eyes.
After holding on for a while, Luo Qingyan could not help but drive his horse forward, frowning and asking Shi Li, "The weather is so bad, why don't you stop to rest and wait until the weather is better before going on?"
Shi Li looked at him helplessly and said, "Mr. Luo, don't think too highly of yourself. There are mountains on one side of us and a long river on the other. The muddy water from the mountains can directly sweep people into the river."
Luo Qingyan was slightly stunned, and turned his head to look at the river next to him which became turbulent due to the rain. He imagined the scene that Shi Li described, and suddenly felt a chill.
He thought too simply, "I'm sorry..."
Before he finished speaking, Shi Li suddenly became alert, reined in his horse, and raised his head to look towards the mountain.
Luo Qingyan also looked in the direction her gaze was looking, his pupils instantly dilated, and several agile men in black rushed towards him.
"Stand back, don't panic, I'm here."
Shi Li spoke briefly and to the point, holding the Emei Spear in one hand, and went straight forward.
After a brief moment of surprise, the remaining people lined up to surround Luo Qingyan and assigned a few people to help Shi Li fight the man in black.
This was the first time Luo Qingyan saw Shi Li take action.
In the rushing rain, the girl's figure was as fast as lightning, and her pair of eyebrows were so sharp that they forced several men in black to retreat again and again.
But two fists are no match for four hands. One of the men in black had somehow gotten behind Shi Li and was approaching silently with a sword in hand.
"Watch your back!"
Luo Qingyan was horrified and was about to rush forward without thinking, but was stopped by Shi Li who took the time to glance at him.
"do not move."
Shi Li seemed to have eyes on the back of her head. She used her Emei spear to force back several people in front of her, and at the same time, she dodged the hidden arrow from behind by leaning sideways.
Although it was dangerous, there was no damage at all.
Luo Qingyan was so nervous that he clenched his fists unconsciously.
Several supporting escort leaders also rushed to Shi Li's side and cooperated with her in perfect harmony. With just a few moves, they knocked down half of the men in black in the rain.
Everything is developing in a good direction.
Unfortunately, things did not go as planned. There were bursts of noisy and chaotic noises coming from the mountain, along with mud and water, and countless large and small rocks rolling down!
Everyone dodged in panic. Luo Qingyan saw a huge rock coming towards him at such a fast speed that he had no time to dodge.
