Chapter Seventy-Eight: Luring the Snake Out of the Hole

Ji Yan made a mistake, and it was very unfortunate that Ding Ling scattered the things in his backpack on the ground.

He was very flustered and hurriedly bent down, but his movements were not very dexterous, and he struggled to restrain the contents of the package, but because there were many bits and pieces in his package, it was very difficult to pick up, so he picked it up little by little while stuffing it back into the package.

Mei Yuning and Sun Dayong didn't seem to see Ji Yan's movements, they were still busy with their own business, and after a while, Sun Dayong suddenly realized: "Young owner, look at it, this chores can be done by letting the old slave come, your legs and feet are not dexterous, hurry up and sit down and rest." ”

Ji Yan nodded, and didn't say anything, but he didn't stop in his hand, and he sped up the speed of cleaning up.

While slowly picking up the things on the ground, he also groaned a few times from time to time, as if even bending down to pick up things like this was a kind of torture for Ji Yan at this time.

Ji Yan seemed to feel that there were several pairs of eyes staring in his direction, which made him feel the feeling of a big beautiful woman walking on the street, and the greedy eyes of a group of lewd men turned on him.

However, when he slowly raised his head and looked around, no one looked at him, and the five Ming Dynasty people all closed their eyes and recuperated, as if they had already fallen asleep quickly.

Several of them also made a slight snoring sound, and it seemed that they had been working hard and tired after a day's journey.

After wasting half a day's effort, Ji Yan finally hurriedly put away the salute package again, and he tidied up a vacant lot under his feet, next to Mei Yuning and Sun Dayong, and the three of them leaned against the same big tree, squatting and preparing to rest.

The breeze was breezy and the night was slightly cool, Ji Yan was half lying there, his eyes closed, listening to everything in this forest, at this time, in this woodland, only the sound of insects and birds chirping, and the sound of leaves swaying.

The clouds moved rapidly in the air, and the moonlight came and went, sometimes sprinkled on the faces of the people in the woods, and then like the eternal night, pitch black and terrifying, just like the hearts of the people in this world, sometimes bright and sometimes dark, difficult to figure out and judge.

After about half an hour, a large thick cloud covered the moonlight, and it was dark in all directions, and there seemed to be some sound, squirming, I don't know what it was.

This light sound didn't wake anyone up, after all, everyone was tired, and they were in a hurry and climbed the mountain, and no one was beaten by iron, Ji Yan and the other three were sleeping soundly as usual, and they didn't move.

Suddenly, two bright blades shone out, and even in this ink-like world, there were still some reflections and conspicuousness.

At this moment, the two short knives were raised high, ready to fall, one slashed at Sun Dayong, and the other slashed at Ji Yan.

Ji Yan and Sun Dayong seem to be in danger, and their lives are hanging by a thread.

I don't know when, Ji Yan has opened his eyes, staring closely at the short knife that slashed at him, and he still holds a baseball-sized stone in his right hand.

The owner of the knife that slashed at Ji Yan was obviously not aware that Ji Yan was actually awake and startled.

Ji Yan threw all his strength at the head of the man with the knife, and right in the door of the man's head, the baseball-sized stone was so close to each other that the man with the knife was incapacitated in an instant, covering his head with both hands, lying on the ground and screaming.

At the same time, Mei Yuning already had a short sword in his hand, bounced up, and turned to a knife directly at the neck of another person, who didn't react too much, only covered his neck with both hands where blood was spraying, but how effective was it.

Mei Yuning's sword went down, clean and neat, almost like a skilled hand killing chickens, only to see that person's blood gushing out, and in a moment it dyed red Sun Dayong, who was squatting in front of him.

Sun Dayong didn't care about wiping the blood on his head and face, walked forward, directly put the knife horizontally, and pressed down the leader of this group, Lao Zhao.

At this time, Mei Yuning went around to the person who was hit by Ji Yan's stone, and without saying a word, he stabbed at the back of the person's neck, and saw that this person was also dead.

Ji Yan and the others acted quickly and ruthlessly, without any hesitation and mercy, and directly killed the two thieves who came to sneak attack, in fact, they were also forced by the situation.

The main reason is that there are many people on the other side, and there is a plan on his side that does not know martial arts, but he is strong, if he only kills one person, the other party still has four people, and he can't say that they will fight together, and it is really difficult to control his side.

At this moment, the remaining three people of this group had already woken up, and the elder leader, Lao Zhao, was controlled by Sun Dayong's knife on his neck.

The other two remaining, the one with the wound in the leg and foot, took out their weapons from the salute and stood with their backs against the tree, ready to resist to the end.

The person who had not bowed his head and had no words groped for a long time, but he did not find any weapons in his hand, so he could only take out a short knife from the bag of the person next to him, hold it in his hand, and look at Ji Yan and the others vigilantly.

When Lao Zhao saw this scene, he was obviously very anxious, although he had a short knife across his neck, he still shouted at the person with injured legs and feet, "What can you do like a bird, why don't you put down your weapons quickly and beg these heroes to spare their lives?" ”

However, this person with inconvenient legs and feet, when he heard this, instead of being caught, he shouted loudly and rushed towards Ji Yan.

However, as soon as he left the big tree behind him, there was a gap behind him, and Mei Yuning was so quick that he went around behind him and was a thorn.

This person also screamed later, and Mei Yuning's short sword was extremely sharp, directly penetrating his chest.

The moment the sword was drawn, the man directly spurted a mouthful of blood and fell to the ground.

To be honest, Ji Yan was a little stunned when he saw this scene, although all this was from him and planned by him, but seeing Mei Yuning kill three people without changing his face in front of him, he still broke out in a cold sweat, and he couldn't tell what the reason was, in short, he felt a little chill down his spine.

Seeing that the situation was under their control, Ji Yan finally calmed down a little, and had a little time to think, the first thought that popped up in his heart was: I hope that because of tonight's situation, I will not be able to harden myself when facing Mei Yuning in the future.

Ji Yan was thinking about it, but Lao Zhao explained to Ji Yan and the others in a panic: "This person was recruited by them, I am not familiar with it, they quietly do things behind my back, and they do everything behind my back, don't say anything to me, alas, I was also soft-hearted for a while, and I let them go, so I made a big mistake, and they all blame me......"

This Lao Zhao was talking with tears in his eyes, and his lips trembled even more when he said it, and his words were vague, as if he had something in his mouth.

Sun Dayong wanted to talk about it, so he said: "So, your Qi Nan fragrant wood was also brought by them behind your back?" ”

As soon as this old Zhao heard Sun Dayong mention the fragrant wood, he replied directly: "No, no, this is what we dug from the mountain with great difficulty." ”

Ji Yan said coldly: "You said you dug it?" Are you blind to me? I looked at the package of fragrant wood, there were still a lot of blood stains, let's say, how many people were killed and robbed? ”

After listening to Ji Yan's words, Lao Zhao sighed, but still defended himself: "They did it behind my back, and I don't want to, they said that they couldn't go home empty-handed, or they would kill my eldest brother, so I followed them to kill people and rob the goods......"

In fact, it was dark this day, and Ji Yan didn't see where the incense wood was, let alone whether there was blood on it, he just cheated it.

However, this old Zhao is not a hero, and he is in a hurry to get rid of his guilt and confess, so after being deceived, he thought that the matter had been exposed, so he naturally recruited all of them.
