Chapter 10: Killing in the Woods
"Phewβ"
With the sound of the leading groom, the three carriages, which were originally galloping, suddenly stopped in the dense forest.
Steward Yue, who was sitting in the first carriage, heard the movement outside, and was suspicious, so he leaned out.
"Old Luo, why did you stop," Steward Yue was puzzled, stepped forward to look at the old man in green shirt and asked, "Isn't it the Chen family's pursuers catching up?"
"Not ......"
The old man in the green shirt shook his head, jumped out of the carriage, threw the whip in his hand to the guard, and said coldly: "Steward Yue, we came all the way from Luoxiang City, don't you think the road is too smooth?"
"Old Luo, do you mean......" Steward Yue listened to what the old man in green shirt said, touched his chin and looked into the distance.
"That's right, I've seen it, on the way from Luoxiang City to Tianyi City, there are avenues all the way, and only this forest may be ambushed by the Chen family. The old man in the green shirt stood with his hands in his hands and said expressionlessly.
"Old Luo, are you suspicious, isn't it very good that the wind and waves are calm along the way, maybe the Chen family didn't find any trace of us at all. Steward Yue said indifferently.
Seeing Steward Yue's absent-minded appearance, the old man in the green shirt couldn't help frowning: "The people of the Chen family are not stupid, I have fought with them no less than a hundred times, you and I don't know the situation in the dense forest, it is better to be cautious." β
"Old Luo, what do you mean......" Steward Yue looked stunned, and after hearing the admonition, his face showed respect.
"You are on guard here, and I will go ahead and find the way. The old man in the green shirt commanded, and then his figure flickered, and he suddenly disappeared in place, and fled into the distance.
Seeing this, the rest of the guards divided into several groups, sprang out of the carriage, and scattered in all directions.
As soon as the carriage stopped, Gu Xi, who was sitting in the carriage, noticed that the atmosphere around him was wrong, slowly opened his eyes, followed the footsteps of the second brother and Yue Hai, and walked out.
"Uncle Yue, what's going on?" Yue Hai, who was dressed in a black brocade robe, stepped forward, looked at Steward Yue with a smile and said, his face was much more ruddy than a few days ago.
"It's okay," Steward Yue just wanted to speak, but when he saw Gu Xi coming, he hurriedly changed his words, "I heard that there are many thieves here, and there are also many people who rob darts, so I specially asked Luo Lao to go to the forest first to take a look, if someone really likes the treasure in our car, we have to take a detour." β
After listening to what Steward Yue said, combined with the grim form around him, Yue Hai nodded thoughtfully, he naturally understood what Steward Yue had to say.
"Be careful, there are many thieves in our wilderness forest all year round. Gu Jin smiled honestly, and did not have doubts about this move.
However, Gu Xi, who was following behind Gu Jin, secretly raised his vigilance, and his eyes scanned the surrounding grass.
Combined with what he overheard in the Qi family's mansion yesterday, Gu Xi dared to conclude that there would be an ambush by the Chen family here.
After a cup of tea, he heard a sound of breaking the air in his ears, and Gu Xi looked in the northeast direction.
I saw that the old man in the green shirt was extremely fast, and his steps were bumpy and casually stepping on the branches, as if there was nothing.
"Nothing ...... ahead"
After the old man in the green shirt came back, he couldn't help but make the guards including Steward Yue secretly breathe a sigh of relief.
"Okay, everyone prepare, if it goes well, we will be in Tianyi City in a few hours. The corners of Steward Yue's mouth rose slightly, and he shouted backwards.
Now, I can basically confirm that the road is smooth and worry-free, although the road is long, but this time I successfully rescued the third prince back to the Yue family, which can be described as a great achievement!
It's not far from promotion......
Steward Yue thought like this, his face was happy, and he slowly walked to the nearest carriage to him.
And just when Steward Yue was proud, the old man in green shirt beside him noticed something strange in the forest, his face changed, and his arm hurriedly waved out, dragging Steward Yue away from the carriage.
At the same time, black shadows burst out of the dense forest, and the sound of arrows "swishing" was endless.
In the blink of an eye, arrows like a torrential rain swept through the carriage in an instant, and the carriage collapsed with a bang.
In the crowd, a white shadow flashed, Gu Xi's speed of action was even a few points faster than the old man in green shirt who acted just now, and with a force of his hand, he directly broke a half-foot-long crossbow arrow shot at the second brother.
More than a dozen Qi family secret guards guarded Yue Hai's side, pulled out the saber at his waist, and cut off the arrows with force.
A metallic cold light swept across and whined, and then the pupils of more than a dozen guards of the Yue family widened, and they fell to the ground with a thud, and a bloodshot appeared in their throats.
Seeing that several swords were about to fly to Yue Hai's neck, the old man in the green shirt didn't care too much, stomped on the ground with his feet, pulled out a dagger from his waist, and greeted him.
Qiang β
The sound of collision sounded, and the old man in green shirt was shocked by a huge force, and hurriedly took a few steps back, his feet against the roots of the tree.
The few remaining Qi family secret guards on his side also hurriedly took action and repelled the black-clothed killer holding a big knife.
I saw that the black shadow dodged the swords, guns and swords in front of him, rolled over, jumped backwards, and stepped on the remains of the carriage with his feet in the wind.
At this moment, the rain of arrows suddenly stopped.
"Shi Hong, it's you!" After stabilizing his figure, the old man in the green shirt looked at the face of the man in black and exclaimed.
For the person in front of him, the old man in the green shirt is very familiar, this person is an enshriner of the Chen family, and he is in the middle stage of refining the body like his cultivation, but he is good at swordsmanship, and a big knife in his hand weighs four thousand catties.
"Haha, it seems that Second Master Chen's calculation is really good, you really dare to take this path!" Shi Hong laughed wildly, holding a big knife in front of everyone.
"Old Luo, you and I are also old rivals, why don't you hand over the head of your third son, and I will let you go, how about it?" A sneer appeared at the corner of Shi Hong's mouth.
"It doesn'......t matter who will kill the deer," the old man in the green shirt squinted his eyes slightly, and a breath of blood erupted from his body.
Then, several masked killers came out of the jungle and fought with the few remaining guards of the Yue family.
"Third brother, ...... you" Gu Jin was surprised to see his third brother break the arrow so easily.
"Second brother, don't ask too much, just follow your brother!" Gu Xi said coldly, bending down and hiding in the grass.
Gu Jin hugged his wife, and when he saw a bloody storm on the field, even the rumored body refining cultivators were sent out, so he naturally understood that the person who came was not an ordinary robber.
The situation on the field was grim, but Gu Xi was ready to sneak away quietly with his second brother and sister-in-law at this time.
He has been observing for a long time, and this is the time he has been waiting for!
The Yue family and the Chen family are working hard, but it is none of his business with Gu Xi, what he has to do is to protect the second brother's family.
As for who won and who lost the two major families of the Yue family and the Chen family, and how many people died, it had nothing to do with him.
However, before Gu Xi could take a few steps, a black-clothed killer appeared in front of him, waving his sword at each other.
"Third brother, be careful!"
Seeing the killer attacking, Gu Jin, who was standing behind Gu Xi, shrank his pupils and hurriedly reminded him.
Click-
Gu Xi was not in a hurry, the killer's movements gradually slowed down in his eyes, his right hand reached forward, and the strength of his palm increased, instantly choking the killer's neck.
His wrist tightened, and the black-clothed killer knife fell to the ground, and his arms hung limply at his sides.
"That's right, it seems that it's the same as I thought, there is indeed another body refining cultivator in the team!"
