Chapter 1386: Take a risk
In the valley, there was a loud shout of killing, and there was fighting everywhere, and there was chaos.
And Lu Menglan and Duanmu Qingyi just stood quietly beside the carriage and watched the scene in front of them.
The two of them were clearly standing in the center of the storm, but they were as safe and sound as if they were standing in the eye of the storm, as if all danger was cut off from them.
First of all, the one-armed man Zhang Xinlong finally did not hesitate to explode his essence and blood at the nineteenth move, making up for his own shortcomings, and killing his good brother, the second master Ah Hu, in one fell swoop.
As soon as Ah Hu died, the bandits in the valley did not dare to resist even more, except for a few people who were lucky enough to get into the woods and did not know where to flee, the others all held their heads in their hands and squatted on the ground obediently, not daring to resist anymore.
Zhang Xinlong took advantage of the boiling killing intent in his chest, stepped forward, and slashed two bandits in a row, slashing and killing the two bandits who usually had the best relationship with Ah Hu, and then he looked up to the sky and roared, and the roar was full of pride.
Although the bandits under his command suffered a lot of casualties, but in tonight's battle, he successfully killed the second leader Ah Hu and eliminated the biggest unstable factor in the team, Zhang Xinlong is of course full of confidence, and he wants to prove to the wooden girl that he is the most powerful one.
After watching the show, Lu Menglan had already jumped into the carriage at this time, ready to leave here, and Duanmu Qingyi also followed the car with a smile.
Zhang Xinlong's whistling stopped abruptly, he looked stunned, and strode to the side of the carriage.
"Miss Mu, what are you doing?" Zhang Xinlong was faintly uneasy in his heart, but he still tried his best to maintain his demeanor and asked in a dumb voice.
Duanmu Qingyi's pretty face appeared from the car window, nodded at him, and said with a smile: "Don't do anything! My brother wants to go to Fashen City to open a store, I'm sorry, I have to follow!"
"You... Are you kidding me?" Zhang Xinlong's face finally couldn't hold back, and he asked gloomily.
"Yes, you're so stupid! If I had even the slightest bit of self-knowledge, I knew I couldn't like you. Duanmu Qingyi said the most hurtful words in the gentlest voice.
These two sentences are like cold ice rain slapping indiscriminately on the body, and Zhang Xinlong woke up at once!
He was suddenly a little scared, because he had just killed his brother for the sake of that woman, and he thought it was a matter of course!
"This woman, it's terrible! She's the devil!" Zhang Xinlong felt an indescribable sense of fear from the bottom of his heart, the other party was obviously powerless, but he could play with himself, was this a moral degradation, or a distortion of the soul?
"I, I'm going to kill you!" Zhang Xinlong's face was full of hideousness, and he let out a hoarse roar.
He has always thought that he is a character, a reckless hero, not bad in strength, and brilliant in wisdom, but he didn't expect that one day, he would be played so badly!
"Alas, you're not stupid, you're not sane enough. With that, Duanmu Qingyi shook his head and closed the window.
She didn't say anything, and she didn't need any reminders, she knew very well that Master Wuhao would take care of the next thing.
From the moment Master Wuhao decided to end watching the play and jumped into the carriage, the game was over.
It is precisely because Duanmu Qingyi is a real smart person that she can keep up with the rhythm of the martial arts master, listen to the strings and know the elegance, between smart people and smart people, there is no need to say much.
The carriage started slowly, not very fast, and the two carts pulling the cart did not seem to like the blood on the ground with their hooves, and walked very carefully.
Zhang Xinlong clenched his steel teeth and stared at the carriage, in his heart, the alarm kept ringing, the other party planned to leave like this, they must have some kind of fighting, and it was impossible to leave like this.
However, in case the other party is an empty city plan, he just walks under his nose, and he is afraid that he will spend the rest of his life in regret.
Under the threat of Zhang Xinlong's eyes, the little bandits around him surrounded him one after another.
They don't think as much as the big boss Zhang Xinlong, they just think very simply,
There were only two people in the carriage, they looked very young, they didn't look very powerful, they belonged to the objects that could be killed, but they didn't think about why the big boss didn't make a move, but let them go up.
Finally, a few bold little bandits stopped in front of the carriage, grinning and fierce.
At this time, the spirit guy who was driving shook his head expressionlessly and slapped the whip casually.
A cloud of black mist shot out from the tip of the whip and spread rapidly.
"Daoist, is it to summon a divine beast or a skeleton?" Zhang Xinlong, who was at the back of the car, saw this posture, and his heart suddenly settled.
If the other party thinks that if he can deal with himself if he summons a divine beast, then he will definitely pay an unimaginable price.
Bandits like them don't care about human life the most, it's a big deal to use a dozen lives to entangle the other party's divine beasts, and then quickly kill the Taoist priest's body, there is nothing to fear.
As a result, out of the black mist came a withered little claw, which was the skeleton soldier's arm.
Seeing this, Zhang Xinlong suddenly had all his doubts gone, and he actually laughed.
"Haha! Interesting, really interesting! A little Taoist priest, do you think that if you summon a skeleton soldier, you can stop me Zhang Xinlong?" Zhang Xinlong roared loudly, his voice full of pride.
Summoning skeletons is only the basic skill of the Taoist profession, and only the little Taoist priest before level 30 will use this kind of chicken rib skill, and it is okay to contain the wild monsters, and use it to deal with himself, a big warrior at the level of forty-one, isn't that a joke?
However, after the skeleton soldier completely emerged from the black mist, Zhang Xinlong's wild laughter stopped abruptly, his face was full of horror, and he couldn't laugh anymore no matter what!
Because the skeleton soldier in front of everyone is covered in armor and has a black giant axe in the handle, and the most exaggerated thing is that it has a pair of huge black bone wings on its back, where is this small skeleton soldier, this is simply a demon god who crawled out of the depths of hell.
The aura emanating from this skeleton soldier was as deep as the sea, and the coercion caused by the rank directly completely destroyed the mental defenses of everyone present in an instant.
A breath of death swept across the valley, and there was no need for the strange skeleton soldier to do it, and those bandits fell to the ground silently as long as they were swept away by this dead air.
Even Zhang Xinlong, who was forty-one level old, only lasted three more seconds under this dead air, and then he felt weak, and the vitality in his body was dissipating little by little.
In his last moments before he died, when he was dying, a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, and he finally thought of a rumor, a rumor about a skeleton soldier with wings on his back, and finally guessed the identity of the young man who was driving the car.
To be able to die at the hands of such a top person in the world is really not unjust!
The carriage continued on its way, returning the way it had come, and in less than half an hour, in the distance, the lake where the people had camped had been seen in the distance.
Those people from the Great Wei Trading House were still resting by the lake, and they planned to wait until dawn tomorrow morning to return to their homes and return to Bairimen City.
The carriage approached, and when the merchants of the Great Wei Commercial Bank saw the carriage, they couldn't help but stand up and gather around.
The head of the escort regiment, Commander Yi, and his guards had also recovered from the poisoning, and when they saw the carriage coming back, they all looked vigilant, holding blades in their hands, and stared closely at the young man who was driving the carriage.
The young man didn't say anything, but silently drove the carriage to the same place where it had left, and stopped.
The carriage door opened, revealing the beautiful face of the wooden girl.
The crowd was in an uproar, wasn't she taken away by those bandits? She came back at first? Could it be that the bandits had a good heart?
Head Yi and Steward Fu exchanged glances, and both of them felt that this matter was not so simple.
"Both, why are you back again?" said Steward Fu after calming down.
Everyone was in the same mind as him, curious and a little afraid.
Duanmu Tsing Yi
Jumping out of the carriage, he smiled calmly: "Those bandits are in the valley in the north, less than half an hour away from here. They fought for themselves, and many people died, including the one-armed man and the one with the sledgehammer. ”
"What?"
"What?" said Grand Steward Fu and Head Yi in shock at the same time.
Duanmu Qingyi smiled very sincerely, nodded and said, "It's true! If you don't believe it, you can go and see for yourself." It must be that the spoils are unevenly divided! The people in there are almost dead, so that our brothers and sisters can easily get out. If you get it in time, you might be able to get all your goods back. ”
"Really?" Hearing this, Steward Fu was overjoyed and said in a trembling voice.
Duanmu Qingyi smiled: "No, it's not true! Anyway, our brother and sister are back, believe it or not." ”
As soon as she said this, the eyes of the surrounding businessmen all warmed up, and there was an inexplicable restlessness in their hearts.
And this girl left a good impression on everyone before, she understood the righteousness, in order to save everyone's lives, she did not hesitate to feed the tiger with her body, which is respectful, and now she says that everyone can get the goods back, and it should be true nine times out of ten!
Head Yi frowned and asked, "How many of them are left?"
"I don't know, anyway, I saw that the two leaders were dead. The rest of the people were also calling around, and no one cared about us at all. There were also a lot of people lying on the ground. Duanmu Qingyi put away his smile and said with a worried face.
Her appearance seemed to be sympathetic to the dead and wounded bandits, and she was indeed a good girl with a sympathetic heart! Many people couldn't help but think in their hearts.
Steward Fu looked at these merchants around him, everyone's eyes were hot, and then he thought about it, these merchants have no goods, which means that they have no value, and it makes no sense for this girl to lie to them, and it sounds like the bandits are really fighting, otherwise how can they come back?
Right now, the escort regiment has basically recovered its combat strength, except for Commander Yi's broken leg, even if he encounters those bandits again, he will have the strength to fight. If the lost goods can be recovered, the caravan can be brought back to life.
"Everyone, everyone, this is an urgent matter, please listen to the old man. Steward Fu suddenly raised his voice and said loudly.
As soon as he shouted like this, all the merchants around him fell silent, and everyone stared at Fu Da Steward, waiting to hear his decision.
"If what this wooden girl said is true, then there is a good chance that we will get the goods back. However, I would like to explain in advance that it is risky to go to the bandits' den to get the goods. Moreover, our head Yi was seriously injured and his strength was damaged, in case of any danger again, whether our group of people can return to Bairimen City safely, whether we can see our relatives is another matter. ”
"So, I'd like to hear everyone's opinions! Shall we wait until tomorrow morning and go back to Bairimen City directly, or should we take the risk and give it a try?"
Fu Da Steward said for a long time, and did not make a decision, but just said the risks and benefits between the two choices, his purpose is first of all not to take responsibility, not because of his own choice, and to bear the responsibility for failure, this is also the cunning of businessmen.
In case something happens, it is not the decision of his Fu Steward, but the decision of everyone.
"What are you waiting for! Wait any longer, the daylilies will be cold!"
"Yes! If you don't fight hard, how do you know if you won!" In the crowd, several big businessmen who suffered the heaviest losses shouted one after another.
At this time, the head of the regiment, as well as his guards, looked a little reluctant.
Although it is their duty to protect the merchants, if there is no need, who wants to fight with the bandits! Knowing that there are bandits in the valley, they still have to go to retrieve the goods for the caravan, whose death or injury is counted? Whose life is not life!
Seeing that Head Yi didn't say anything, Steward Fu also calmed down, and his heart suddenly cooled down.
He knew that most of the guards were unwilling, and this month was dark and windy, and they suddenly ran into the bandits' den, and they didn't know how many people were going to die!
