Chapter 033: Black Gold Ancient Ring
The scorching sun was in the sky, the scorching sun was scorching the earth, and the willow branches were swaying in the breeze.
On an official road that runs through the entire forest. Three young men dressed as businessmen walked side by side on horseback, looking very leisurely, as if they had no destination.
Although the three men are dressed for business, there is not much difference in clothing, but they can still distinguish the difference in identity between them from the appearance and state, and the man in the middle has a leisurely expression, more like a rich young master who doesn't care about anything. The other two were different, with solemn expressions, cold eyes like ice, probing around from time to time, not daring to slack off.
"Hey, I said you two, don't be so serious, I really can't figure it out...... Why did you send you two here," the man in the middle complained with a reluctant expression.
"Lord, it's just that this time it's different from the past, and the responsibility of the two of us is too great, Miss's ...... Safety, that's a big deal, and if there's anything wrong, we can't afford even a hundred heads," one of the older men said in a very serious tone.
"With me, what are you afraid of, this journey is too boring, I still wish there were a few little thieves, so that the young master can stretch his muscles" The man in the middle stretched his waist as he spoke, with a lazy expression, and a pair of extremely delicate arms were exposed, looking like a weak young master. At the same time as he stretched out his arm, a black ring on his right index finger came into view, the ring was as wide and narrow as a thumb, and the whole body was black, which was particularly eye-catching against the background of this snow-white and delicate palm.
"Hey, I really don't understand, there are four lords in the mansion, why did they send you......" The other man shook his head helplessly and muttered in a low voice.
"What? What are ......you talking about?" the man in the middle stretched out his hand, just about to 'teach' him, but his arm stayed in the air. His brows furrowed slightly, but then he showed a look of excitement, withdrew his arms, and glanced at the grass not far away as if his eyes were inadvertent.
"Wait...... Someone ......" At the same time, as if they had noticed something, the two guards suddenly became serious again, and their eyes were like torches.
"I 'see' it, it's just a few little minions, don't be so nervous, hehe......" The man in the middle suddenly became interested, the corners of his mouth rose slightly, although he looked harmless to humans and animals, but for some reason, there was a trace of cold and piercing feeling in his 'gentle' eyes.
The three of them continued to walk forward.
"Nearly a hundred?!"
"That's right, but most of them seem to be mortals"
"Don't be careless," the men on both sides whispered as they whispered, and their eyes looked very 'hollow' ahead. Although everything around was so ordinary, there was not a trace of people, but from the words of several people, it seemed that there was a heavy killing force ahead.
After a few more steps forward, several people pulled the reins slightly, and the three horses stopped at the same time. There was silence all around, like a calm lake, but there was an undercurrent underneath.
"Come out, let the master see who it is" The man in the middle always had a smile of 'I am a good person' on his cheek, and the fingers of his left hand gently stroked the black ring on his right hand.
The words of the Lord were like a stone sinking into the sea, and there was no response in the slightest.
"Hmph~ It seems that Young Master Deben personally invited you out......" The man in the middle stared at his ring leisurely, and muttered to himself. As soon as the words fell, the smile on his cheeks gradually dissipated, and a whirlwind of phantoms flashed from the man's eyes.
The man raised the palm of his right hand with the black ring upwards slightly, and a miniature tornado accompanied by thunder and lightning was generated in the palm of his hand. Immediately turned over the palm of his hand and exerted a little force, and a wave of qi mixed with thunder and lightning quickly spread out in all directions, and became bigger and bigger. Wherever the qi wave went, there was a wailing sound, followed by the sound of blood spitting out blood one after another, and the howls were endless, and the rest of the people could barely stand up, and they all scattered and fled for their lives in horror when they saw this posture.
There were dozens of corpses on the road where there were only three people before, and there were all kinds of knives, guns, sticks, and broken armor with blood scattered on the ground.
"It turned out to be a bunch of robbers, I said why did the lord make such a heavy hand this time?"
"Look at it like this, they have been prepared for a long time, I'm afraid it's not ......" Speaking of this, the man's expression instantly became nervous, and he wanted to chase back the few people who had escaped.
"Don't worry, just this little shrimp soldier and crab general, how can it hurt the eldest lady of our family, not to mention that this time the mansion has sent so many masters to escort it, and even our head of the house has never had this pomp and circumstance" The man in the middle looked around casually, and said lightly with an unhappy expression.
"Okay, look at the time again, Ye Wen, go and tell Miss, there's nothing ahead," the man in the middle tilted his head and said to one of the men.
The man named Ye Wen nodded in response, then turned his horse's head and galloped away from the road he had come.
"You, what about you, hurry up and clean this up," the man shook his head in disappointment and walked on.
It's about ten miles from here.
The two boys, who looked like teenagers, stood in front of a group of people, and the air seemed to be condensed at this moment, and the atmosphere was very tense and depressing, as if war was about to break out.
At the moment when the two of them suddenly rushed out, the team immediately stopped advancing, and everyone took a deep breath and put on a posture of moving at any time.
"Stop, stop......" Just a few dozen steps away from the group, Yun Tian stretched out his hand to stop the team.
"What ......" a burly man at the front of the team snapped, his right hand already on the sword at his waist.
"I ...... I'm not a bad person, I want to tell you a piece of news, there are bandits in front of you who want to rob you, you better take a detour......" Yun Tian's nervous palms were sweaty at the moment, and he said hesitantly. Zixiu followed behind, not even daring to raise his eyelids, looking at the posture of this group of people, it seemed to be more terrifying than those robbers.
"Where did the mountains come from......
"Ye Kui, what's going on ...... ahead" A woman's voice came out suddenly, interrupting the strong man's words. The woman's voice was as clear and sweet as the stream of a valley, giving it a comforting feeling, as if it were coming from the heavenly realm. As he spoke, an arm as white as snow slowly stretched out from the car, opening a corner of the curtain. A jet-black ring on the slender finger is particularly glaring.
After hearing this, the strong man's expression changed dramatically in an instant, turned over and dismounted, and walked quickly in the direction of the carriage, cautiously.
"Miss Hui, yes...... It was two hairy children who came from nowhere, blocking the way, saying that it was ...... There is news to say," the strong man lowered his head and said respectfully.
"Message?haha...... I'd like to see what tricks I can make," came a woman's slight giggle from the carriage, as crisp and lovely as a bell, and her tone was mixed with a slightly immature mischievousness.
"Say yes...... There are robbers in ambush ahead," the strong man replied.
"Robbers? haha...... Interesting, I've never seen a robber. By the way, Brother Qingfeng, is there any news over there?"
"By time...... It's almost time to go back and forth, it should be soon......" As the strong man spoke, he heard a galloping horse galloping in front of the team.
"It's just right, it's Ye Wen" The strong man took a look at it, and recognized that the person was the owner of the Huoyun Banner, one of the Ye family's five cloud banners.
After Ye Wen dismounted, he walked quickly to the carriage, and when he passed by Yuntian and the two, he quickly looked at it a few times, and couldn't help frowning, a little puzzled, but it was only for a moment, and his expression returned to the same as before.
"Miss Hui, there is nothing ahead, the Qingfeng Venerable Lord is already ten miles away, and continue to explore the way," Ye Wen arched.
"Okay, it's too boring along the way, let Brother Qingfeng wait for me. By the way, have you encountered any interesting things up front?" the girl asked in a strange tone, as if she had learned the truth.
"Miss, it's just ...... It's just some small things, they have been dealt with, and the road ahead is smooth" Ye Wen's eyes turned, his mind was racing rapidly, and he replied cautiously.
"Yes...... Is there such a thing as a robber?" asked the girl, feigned curiosity.
"But there are a few little thieves, it has been solved, Miss can rest assured" Ye Wen was also very curious, how did Miss know about this. It must have something to do with those two children.
"Okay, okay, what are you afraid of, you go first" The girl looked at Ye Wen's cautious appearance, and couldn't help but feel a little bored.
"Yes," he said, turning and getting on his horse, galloping away.
"Miss, what ...... What to do with those two children, how did they know about the robbers, no need to ......"
"Don't worry about them, what waves can the two mortal little hairy children toss, besides, maybe the two of them are really kind, continue to hurry" The girl in the carriage whispered a few words, and the strong man turned around and went back to say a few words to Yuntian and the two, then got on the horse again and continued to hurry.
The two stood aside, a little bewildered, as they watched the team in front of them slowly move forward. Yun Tian's eyes couldn't help but fall on the approaching carriage, and he couldn't help but have a curiosity about the characters in the carriage, what kind of characters can have this kind of pomp, it must be a famous nobleman who visited privately.
At the moment when the carriage passed in front of the clouds, a breeze blew the curtain of the carriage slightly. Looking through the gap in the curtain, a girl who looked like a fairy came into view, and at this moment, the girl in the carriage also saw the clouds outside the car, her eyes met, the corners of the girl's mouth were slightly upturned, and she nodded slightly in response to a smile.
It was only for a moment, but time seemed to stop. Yun Tian stared blankly at the carriage in the distance, unable to return to his senses for a long time, if Floating Shadow was the most beautiful girl he had ever seen, then the current one was a little more beautiful than Floating Shadow.
"Hey, Yuntian, what are you doing, let's go quickly, don't you look at what time it is" Zixiu next to him urged a little impatiently.
"Ahh......h Until the carriage disappeared from view.
Just as the two of them were trotting back, Xiao Kuiling suddenly spoke, "It was so dangerous just now."
"What do you mean?"
"By the way, what did you want to say before, but then stopped?" Yun Tian suddenly remembered that when he stopped the carriage, Xiao Kuiling seemed to have something to say.
"Fortunately, I was in the Cloud Sky Stone just now, otherwise I would have been discovered," Kui Ling said with palpitations.
"This team is not an ordinary business traveler, if I look at it correctly, they are all pure-blooded Quartes, and a few of them are rare masters in the entire continent."
"Strange, I haven't heard of it before, there is such a powerful family on the mainland?!, but the black ring on that girl's hand looks like I've seen it before," Xiao Kui Ling whispered thoughtfully.
"Black gold rings?
