Chapter Forty-Four: A Martyr's Death

From Shangjing to the northwest, although there are many official roads along the way, but the dense forests and mountain roads are indispensable, with the turmoil of the Chinese Dynasty, these places will gather more or less some green forests in a few years, or occupy the mountains as the king, or rob the merchants, on weekdays may still be farmers working in the fields, but put down the hoe, pick up the sword, more ruthless and brave. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

The sun did not enter the depths of the pine forest, in the ravine on the leeward side of the mountain road, several carriages were neatly parked together, there was a bonfire next to them, and several porters were chatting, they all came out of Shangjing, and the carriages and horses did not stop along the way, and their bodies were already sleepy, most of them were already asleep, but one of the younger men, named Tian San, was asking his partner with a worried face at the moment, that was an old footman who had been going back and forth with the northwest all year round.

"I heard that the forest in front of you is occupied by bandits, don't you care?" Everyone rested here in advance, just because they were worried about the forest in front of them, and there were already people who had gone out, but before they came back, the old footman saw that he was also the first to go northwest, so he intended to comfort him.

"What are you talking about, didn't anything happen along the way, don't you forget, there is a third master in front, that is, there are bandits, and they dare to rob the army rations? Don't want to die? As he spoke, he looked at a few guards guarding not far away, as well as the black letters on a white background on the carriage.

The young man nodded, "You said the third master is here?" I haven't seen you all the way, have you? “

"People are the owners, can you see them? I'll tell you, I also happened to see it on the road, and it was in the guard's carriage, and several people were guarding it. The old man who spoke also looked smug, deliberately lowered his voice, the other party nodded, and looked in the direction that the old man said, it was a carriage parked in front of the convoy, except for a few more guards around, there was nothing different.

As the night deepened, the few people who had gone to the front to explore the path finally came back one after another, and they did not find anything unusual, and after making simple arrangements, the team began to rest.

"Still not resting?"

"I can't hold it, it's convenient!" Tian San covered his stomach, hurriedly greeted the guards, and then got into the grass on the side, and after a while, there was a sound of uh-huh-hmm.

The guards didn't pay much attention to him, and walked forward, but as soon as he left, Tian San quickly crawled behind him through the grass, got into the forest not far away, and ran along the path for a while, and then met several people, all of whom were dressed in short clothes, and several people were immersed in the night, but there was not much sound, and they looked at the people who were all kung fu.

"On the carriage at the front, there are a total of sixteen guards, five masters, all of whom are sword-wielders, and twenty porters, a total of ten or two carriages, and eight carts of goods ......" As soon as Tian San appeared in front of everyone, he told the situation of the caravan, and he was actually an undercover agent in the caravan.

"Before I came, the employer said that I wanted heads, I wanted to do it cleanly, and the goods were burned!"

"That's all white silver, isn't it a waste to burn it? Or ......"

"You know what! That's something you should be thinking about, the master has specially explained that things should be done cleanly! If someone investigates it in the future, it's all a horse's foot. “

"Hey...... Isn't it just killing people, as for using so many of us? Even if you kill them all, it's more than enough."

"Old Seven, why are you talking so much nonsense, the main family is considerate, you take other people's money, be worshipped, and do your own thing."

In the night, a few people simply argued a few words, they were originally mixed in the rivers and lakes, more than a dozen people in the rivers and lakes have also broken into the name, but the situation is forced, want to live a stable life, this is the offering, the so-called offering, is the large family regularly give money and food, when needed to help people to do things strongmen, now they follow the caravan from afar, is to take the life of one of them.

The leader of the dozen people is a bald strong man, several people call him Lao Diao, calm down the argument of several people, he walked to a person not far away, although the other party is old, but the breath is deep, kung fu is the most advanced of all, the other party closed his eyes, is meditating, there is a steel knife in front of him, Lao Diao attitude respectful: "Senior, without further ado, do you want to do it tonight?" ”

The other party didn't speak, he didn't want to ask again, the other party was a master specially invited by the master's family, and he didn't communicate with them, along the way, there was little communication, and now he really wanted to do it, he also instructed not to move, Lao Diao made a gesture to the brother behind him, and several people disappeared into the dense forest, "I will act by myself, if something goes wrong, please also ask the seniors to take action, don't miss the master's affairs." "Then he left.

There is no moon tonight, but there are starlight, the old man opened his eyes, a pair of eyes were transparent, and he looked carefully at the crazy knife An Yu, and spit out a mouthful of turbidity in his chest, he picked up the knife in front of him, watched several people shuttle in the night, he slowly walked out of the forest, stood on a high slope and looked from afar, the campfire of the caravan changed and changed, and the short fighting and wailing sound reached the ears from time to time.

Although he disdained to dance with Lao Diao and others, the old man was always entrusted by others, watching from a distance a few guards escort a young man towards the retreat of the forest, he chased after him, unfolded his body, and his body, which was still a little sluggish, suddenly seemed to shoot a sharp arrow, his toes touched the ground, as if flying on the grass, and in a moment he had already chased in front of several people, pulled out the steel knife on his waist, and all the movements did not hesitate and stagnate, waiting for a few guards on the opposite side to react, The first person only saw a bright light coming towards his neck, and a blood flower splattered out......

"It's a master, let's go!" Someone shouted, and the remaining few people wanted to come over to stop it, but unfortunately it was just a few moments of effort, and they all became headless corpses, and fell heavily to the ground, Yang Zhi's knife skills were already superior, but as the old man's apprentice, he couldn't go twenty moves, and he fought in close quarters, the knife was the emperor, unstoppable, and although several guards were masters, they were also invincible to Shang Anyu.

Farther away, Lao Diao led people to kill the porter and several guards, and then ran towards the old man, the young man who was originally protected by the guards was sitting on the ground at the moment, looking up at the old man, but the old man did not take out the knife.

Lao Diao and the others approached, and their faces were also stunned...... This is......

And just earlier, outside the general's mansion in the northwest of Beijing, the carriage had just stopped, and Cuiping, who was waiting at the door, hurriedly lifted the curtain and helped the tired Li Cai'er to get down from the carriage.

"Why are you still drinking?" Cui Ping asked about the smell of wine on Li Caier's body, and her face couldn't help but be disgusted, women rarely drink alcohol when they go to banquets, not to mention Li Caier's identity is there, how can she not drink so much.

Li Cai'er shook her hand, her face was faintly painful, thinking that it was the strength of the wine that came up, "I don't know what's going on today, the son of the Wu family has to toast Miss, and he drank three glasses in a row, Miss ......" A maid who came back with her helped Li Cai'er while talking about the evil shape of several scholars at the banquet.

It's just that they didn't notice that on the carriage parked at the mouth of the alley, several young people were looking here, "If you pour her wine, aren't you afraid to go back to your uncle and blame?" ”

"He can ruin our reputation, and I can't pour some wine on her sister?" It was Wu Chenglong, the second son of the Wu family, who spoke, and he was one of the seven gentlemen who was swept away by Li Huai that day, "This is just playing with her, sooner or later, let their Li family know how good I am!" ”

"That is, your Wu family, the old things in our family have shrunk one by one, and we don't dare to put a fart, we want to do something, but we are also powerless." Several other people in the carriage were also members of the Seven Gentlemen, and this time he was called by Wu Chenglong to watch the play, he dared to force Li Caier to drink at the banquet, naturally he got the tacit approval of his family, although he didn't know the specific reason, but he was naturally happy to do it.
