Chapter 40: Ambush
"Of course, it's because Master will be very busy next, how can I have time to take care of the three of you, is there a safer place in Yuquan City than here?"
"What's unsafe, I've given the crescent pendant to Xiao Hanqi. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info they won't come to me again! Besides, we have a mission for the night! This is too far away from the yamen, how long do you have to go? ”
Master tapped me on the head with a fan and said, "We know that you handed it over, does the other party know?" What is the task at this time? Your mission now is to save your life! The Bounty Hall can't be climbed in a day, what are you anxious about? ”
"But Master...... Returning a mission in the Bounty Hall in the middle of the mission will affect your reputation. How will the three of us mix after it gets out? ”
"You don't have to worry about this, the Bounty Hall is not an ordinary organization, you can divide the priorities, Master will directly submit to the Bounty Hall to change your tasks, you just have to live in the palace with peace of mind. I think Han Yan has already ordered someone to clean up your room, right? He raised an eyebrow at Xiao Hanyan. Xiao Hanqian just pursed the corners of his mouth in reply.
I'm still a little overwhelmed, I gave up after only two days of taking the task, and how can I have the face to talk to the two brothers of the Sun family when I see them later! I have to find a way to succeed in the task and get Master and Xiao Hanqian to agree. My head was spinning at high speed, and after a while, an idea popped into me: "Master, I have an idea!" ”
Master said with great interest, "Let's hear it." ”
I said mysteriously, "Why don't we lure the snake out of the hole?" Anyway, they have already decided that the crescent pendant is in my hands, so it is better to use me as bait to lure them into the bait! Then let's catch turtles in an urn and make a profit. Haha...... "The more I talked, the more I felt that my plan was good, and I was proud when I was knocked on the head by the master with a fan."
The master said angrily, "Ha, you're big! Do you think the two of us can't come up with this idea? Why are you so careless, little thing! Are you really not afraid of death or have you lived enough? I don't even know who the opponent is, and I still want to play Please Jun into the urn? I think you're the turtle in that urn! Is it time to reach the point of exhaustion? Aren't there any clues to be found? Do you need to fight for your life? Why don't you know how to value your life?! ”
I saw that the more Master spoke, the more angry he became, so I hurriedly stepped forward and shook his arm coquettishly and apologetically, and said, "Master, don't be angry...... It's Rong'er who is not good! Talking doesn't go off the head. I didn't think it was safe to have Master and Xiao Hanqian by my side. If Master thinks this is a bad idea, then don't use it. Don't be angry......" I glanced at Xiao Hanqian and asked him to help me say two kind words, but instead of helping me, he glared at me. I can only do everything I can to coax Master and make him not angry with me.
In the end, the master was so tempered by me that he said, "Rong'er...... People will eventually die, so we must do our best to live a long time and live a worthwhile life! You can't just give up your life. This is what Master is most worried about you, you always make a casual decision and put yourself to death, you may not think that you can die, but not every time you are so lucky to have the opportunity to die and be born. Remember! In the future, when you are not in a desperate situation, don't make decisions that you are not sure of and will endanger your life! ”
I solemnly promised, "I know Master, I won't dare next time!" "After saying that, immediately change the subject and prepare to run away." Master, you must have something important to discuss, so I won't follow the foolish mess and delay the time, I will go home and help my brothers and sisters pack their luggage. "Master, how can he not see my little caution, he just doesn't expose me, and lets me go. When I turned around as I left, Master saw the black jade on my waist and frowned slightly, and his expression made me feel panicked. Before going out, I also asked the master if I could tell my brothers and sisters about these things, and only after receiving a positive answer did I leave Xiao Hanqi's house.
Ziyan also went back to Master's house with me, and the two of us rode in a car and a horse. When we got home, Uncle Zhong and the others had already packed all the luggage of the three of us and loaded them into a carriage. I didn't get out of the carriage at all, and the flame and light snow went straight in, and the two carriages went back together. On the way, I told them everything, thinking that they would blame me for hiding from them, but they didn't realize that their focus was not here at all. It's a pity that I didn't catch that puppet spider yesterday, so I can see what the spider that can be on the list of forbidden rolls looks like. Ay! I was really defeated by their innocence!
It's always fun to be with them, and we're talking and laughing on the way. When we were chatting lively, Ziyan ordered the carriage to stop suddenly, and we curiously poked our heads out of the window to look at the situation, and found that we were already at the junction of the northern suburbs of the city and the North Mountain Range, and Ziyan was looking at the forest on the road with a solemn face.
Blaze was the first to speak: "Why don't you leave?" ”
Ziyan said: "There is an ambush! ”
The three of us quickly came out and jumped out of the carriage, ready to fight at any time. But POSS didn't see any movement on the other side for a long time, Xiaoxue couldn't help but wonder what Ziyan said: "Is there a mistake?" Why don't you attack it yet? Ke Ziyan didn't care about Xiaoxue's words at all, and still stared intently ahead.
In the woods, there was only the sound of the wind blowing the sea of trees and the eerie atmosphere of the shadows of the trees. "It's so quiet!" I couldn't help but sigh. Turning his head and asking, "What should we do?" Will we wait for them to come out, or will we kill them? ”
Ziyan said: "The woods are so hidden, but they are easy to be scattered. It's better to be more open outside, so we can be more concentrated. It is not good for us to continue the stalemate, it is getting late, and it is even more difficult to escape after dark. I'll send out a distress signal first, we just need to hold on until the reinforcements arrive and we can get out of danger, do you think it's feasible? ”
The three of us had no opinion, so Ziyan took out a bamboo tube from his waist, lit it, and shot a red smoke upwards into the air. This caused a stir in the woods, and they could no longer hold back and rushed out of the woods together, and it was a group of red-eyed yellow-haired monkeys. Looking at them, I directly thought of the puppet spider, so I said loudly: "Attack the spider on the back of the monkey's neck, they are all props manipulated by the puppet spider!" "The monkey has come forward to fight us.
The manipulated monkeys seem to have no idea what pain is, and even if their hands and feet are cut off, they can drag their broken legs and stumps to get up and attack people, not to mention how tragic the scene is. Thankfully, these monkeys don't have magical powers, but even so, their combat power is amazing, and they move with agility and speed. Ziyan is the magic power of the earth system, and the attack power of flying sand and rocks is quite strong, but it seems that the power of them who are not afraid of injury and death becomes useless, even if you stab those monkeys a few times, they can still rush up again without diminishing their combat effectiveness, although their attack power is not fatal, but we have suffered a lot of injuries.
As soon as I saw that I would suffer a loss if I continued to fight like this, I took advantage of my own advantages - light work! When Blaze, Xiaoxue and Ziyan fought with them, I saw the opportunity to exploit the loophole, as long as I found a monkey with his back to me, I threw out a conjured secret weapon and killed the puppet spider on the back of the monkey's neck, this trick was very useful, and the three of them noticed it and began to fight with me. After a few rounds of attacks, the puppet spider suffered heavy casualties, and the monkey regained its sanity because of the absence of the manipulator, and died and fled.
The remaining monkeys, who were controlled by the puppet spiders, changed their tactics and began to besiege me for the most part, leaving me with no time to re-engage and only fight back and flee for my life. I found out that these monkeys were actually running for my purse, so I took off the purse and threw it back and forth between the three of them, and sure enough, the monkeys went to the person where the purse was, and we cooperated, they used the purse to attract the attention of the monkey, and I also killed the spider behind my back, and the four of them cooperated very tacitly. By the time Master Xiao Hanqian and them arrived, most of the monkeys had already been killed by us, and they had only cleaned up the mess.
Xiao Hanqian left some people to clean up the battlefield, and the rest of the entourage escorted us back to the palace. After returning home, Master and Xiao Hanqian couldn't take care of us anymore, and the two of them left in a hurry. Blaze was taken to the "Listening to the Rain Pavilion", where the Master temporarily lived; Xiaoxue and I were sent to an elegant, chic, quiet and quaint small courtyard called "Nuanxiang Xiaozhu". The scenery in the courtyard is different from others, it is still a summer scenery of red flowers and willows, and I heard the maid who accompanied me say that it is because this annex has natural geothermal heat, and there is a hot spring indoors. After receiving the place, we asked the maid to leave, and then washed the wounds and bandaged each other. In the evening, Hou Ziyu also lived in our place and was responsible for taking care of our food, clothing and daily life.
In the following days, Master and Xiao Hanqian were very busy, and although they lived in the same place, they rarely saw each other again. Brother Yang and Sister Liu came the next night, took one look at us, and left in a hurry without showing up again. The whole palace was filled with tension, except for the three of us! We were ordered to be grounded and not allowed to leave the palace for half a step, and there was nothing to do except practice.
Blaze quickly mastered the skills of practicing because of the ghost fire, surpassing Xiaoxue's progress, and Xiaoxue was not convinced and was redoubling her efforts, striving to complete the homework left by her master earlier than Blaze. I was also embarrassed to relax my requirements due to their infection, although I had already learned to control the strength of my magic attributes, but I still needed to practice more to support my proficiency, so I practiced my magic for a while and practiced my internal skills, and I was enriched day by day. If I don't let go of the palace, I won't leave the courtyard of the "Warm Fragrance Building", because I don't want to meet the Qingling County Lord, but fortunately, the Qingling County Lord is busy with the Beast Exorcist Contest and has no time to work at home, so that we haven't seen each other in the palace for a few days.
