Chapter 16: Another Encounter with a Sworn Enemy
I saw Jue looking at him with raised eyebrows, his purple-gold eyes were full of provocation, and his thin lips were slightly opened...... Galo understood his lips, and a silent "no way" made him breathe a sigh of relief in his chest.
Crashing into a solid embrace, Han Qingluo looked up in a daze, and Jue's resolute chin and good-looking face directly caught her eyes.
Following his evil gaze, he saw that Jia Luo's face on the opposite side was not very good, and the two blood clan men were fighting each other through their eyes, and Han Qingluo suddenly understood what was going on.
Lian Jue once again mended the knife: "Wishful thinking, I'm the boss!" ”
"I'm rare!" Galo snorted coldly, walked over to Lilian's side and stretched out his hand, but he was stunned for a moment, not knowing how to start, he had never touched a human woman in this way.
In the end, he chose to withdraw his hand and said to Lilian: "Miss Lilian, don't worry, I will protect you!" ”
"Hmm!" Lillian lowered her head slightly, and a crimson appeared on her small face again.
After a short interlude, the four of them began the next battle arrangement.
Because of the head-on conflict, they prepared to return to the town from which they had set out to resupply weapons and protection, as well as other necessities.
Early the next morning.
They set out from the inn, leaving the remaining half of the blood guards at the post station for the time being, and rode their horses to the town, where they were expected to arrive in the evening.
But none of them expected that they would meet a mortal enemy in the small town, like a lamb sent into the wolf's mouth automatically, unsuspecting.
……
Evening came.
The streets of the town are still bustling with people at dusk, and the lamps hanging in the corners of the houses on both sides of the street are lit by faint candlelight, bringing a glimmer of light to the streets at night.
Outside the city gates, three horses of different colors walked leisurely into the streets of the small town. Their masters were Jue, Han Qingluo, and Jia Luo, and in order to take care of Lilian, let her sit on horseback without walking.
"You go find an inn first, and I'll go find the iron shop in the city." Galo handed the reins to Jue's hand and went alone to find the blacksmith.
"Let's go!" Jue picked up the horse that was carrying Lilian, and said to Han Qingluo.
Suddenly, there was a momentary tingling sensation on the ring finger of her left hand, Han Qingluo raised her hand suddenly, but the feeling disappeared in an instant, she thought that the nerves on her fingers were confused because of exertion, and she didn't care.
The outskirts of the town not far away.
A few horses galloped along the dirt path to the very edge of the village. They rolled over and dismounted, and a man handed the wrapped box to several other people.
"Your mission today is to protect this crate and have a good night in this village tavern, you know?"
"Yes! Please rest assured, Lord Ross! ”
"Okay, then I'll go back first." As he spoke, Rose grabbed the reins and turned over on his horse, turning his horse's head and hurrying back the way he came.
A few of the bloodborns who were in charge of protecting the box happily walked towards the village with a bag of coins......
In a house in a remote corner of the city.
Gloris's beautiful face was overjoyed: "Have all the manpower been deployed, and there is no whereabouts exposed, right?" ”
"Please rest assured, it has been arranged before they enter the city, and they are waiting to collect the net!" A blood descendant reported.
"Very good, spy on them first, don't follow them easily, just know their approximate whereabouts, don't startle the snakes, they are all cunning foxes, not easy to deal with!"
Just an hour before, the Bloodborns, who had been watching near the city gates, had discovered their whereabouts and reported them to Loris before they could reach the town.
Of course, Loris will not let go of this fat that is automatically sent to the door, this is the opportunity she dreamed of, and she is looking forward to what method to use to catch them every day, and it just so happens that fate has chosen to favor her this time.
She made an urgent deployment and let Rose stay away from the small city with her rotten bracelet in advance, so that Han Qingluo and his party could not discover their existence, this rotten bracelet was a bad thing at this moment and had to be sent away.
Now this rotten bracelet is dispensable for her, and she has already thought of a plan to make Jue and them fall into the net. What kind of bullshit holy weapon, it is useless to her at all, it is just a broken bracelet, black and ugly.
"How many people did they have in the city?" Loris is still a little afraid of the number of secret bloods, according to their current manpower, it is only half, and it has only been a short time since that defeat, and the personnel have not yet been replenished.
"If you go back to your lordship, there are four in total."
Loris was surprised with a hint of joy and a little puzzled: "Really? ”
"Yes, the traitor Jue and the sacrifice, as well as a blonde man and a human maiden, still seem to be a blind man."
What a blessing from the goddess of fate!
Glories was washed over waves of joy, and her mouth was almost grinning to the root of her ears.
"Good, keep keeping an eye on me." Loris excitedly paced back and forth, "Remember, don't startle the snake, give me patience, and wait for my orders!" Check out their location again and remember, be cautious! He threw a bag of money at the Bloodborn.
"Yes, sir!"
The Bloodline was ordered to exit the room.
……
I found a hotel, opened two rooms, and waited for Galo in the room.
room.
Lillian was already asleep.
Just when he was bored, there was a knock on the door, Han Qingluo got up and walked to the door, and asked vigilantly, "Who?" ”
"It's me."
Jue's familiar voice came from outside the door.
Han Qingluo breathed a sigh of relief, opened the door, and welcomed Jue in.
"What? Have you waited until you're bored? Han Qingluo closed the door and looked at Jue's figure and teased.
Jue naturally sat down in the position that belonged to Han Qingluo, with a serious face: "Just in case of accidents, we'd better stay together and take care of it!" ”
Han Qingluo chuckled, and the next moment, there was another knock on the door. Their eyes were focused on the door at the same time.
"Could it be that Galo has returned?" Han Qingluo muttered to himself, walked directly to the door, but he didn't dare to take it lightly, and repeated the necessary process: "Who? ”
"I'm the owner of the inn."
"It's the innkeeper." Han Qingluo turned his head to look at Jue and whispered.
Jue nodded and asked her to continue asking.
"It's so late, what are you doing here?" Han Qingluo continued to talk to the boss through the door.
"Oh, our hostel is doing an event and has prepared a little fruit to entertain the guests."
"Open the door?"
Jue thought for a while and shook his head: "It's better to be cautious, thank you!" ”
"Thank you boss, we don't need it, you can send other travelers!"
"Oh, okay."
The boss was dismissed, and the next second, the door that had been opened next door to them continued to ring. Han Qingluo shouted directly through the door: "Boss, don't knock, next door is also our room!" ”
"Oh, okay!" The boss's voice came back muffled through the door, but after a while I heard his footsteps drift away.
Sitting next to Jue, Han Qingluo looked pity and sighed: "Alas, I haven't eaten fruit for a long time, tsk, I miss it very much!" ”
Jue knew that she complained a little about herself, but she couldn't easily relax her guard, and their current situation was not very safe: "If you want to eat fruit, when we escape from pursuit, I promise to please eat enough!" ”
"That's what you said!" The sadness on Han Qingluo's face finally subsided, and she was about to vomit after eating coarse grains. However, fruit is very expensive and cannot be eaten often.
Since beating them up as a masked duo, the economy has been unable to make ends meet, and most of the money has been spent to rob the rich and help the poor.
The innkeeper went downstairs and walked out of his hotel into an alley across the street. In the corner of a dark alley, a man stood.
The boss whispered a few words beside him, and the man nodded in satisfaction and shoved a gold coin into his hand.
The boss rubbed the gold coin in his hand with satisfaction, and walked out of the alley happily: "You can get money by saying a few words, it's really a good deal!" ”
……
The moon is dark and the wind is high, and it is a good time to kill people and set fires.
When the whole town falls asleep, the heretics who hide in the dark corners begin their revelry......
Figures flashed like ghosts in the pale and faint moonlight, and their goal was only one - a small inn.
Both the doors and the windows were blocked by them without making a sound. Through the crack in the door, they knew that the candle had been extinguished in the room, and that it was a lamb to the slaughter.
After all the personnel were on standby at the point where they were deployed, Loris made a gesture, and all the bloodlines carefully drew their weapons.
"Bang!"
The doors of the two guest rooms were slammed open in an instant.
The Bloodborns swarmed in, their swords heading straight for the bed in the room......
Suddenly, a blood-descendant ran out in a panic: "My lord, there is no one in the room at all!" ”
"What!" Cloris's exclamation resounded throughout the town, she pushed away the bloodline and ran directly into the room, in the dark room, where were Jue and Han Qingluo.
Glories angrily grabbed one of the Bloodborns by the collar and angrily asked, "Didn't you say they were all here?" How could it be gone? Who got the information? A bunch of rubbish! ”
With a flick of her arm, the poor Bloodborne was thrown to the side of the wall with a terrifying muffled sound, and the wall cracked several times in an instant.
"Search all over the city! I don't believe they can fly with wings! ”
Loris roared, and all the Bloods ran out of the room, scattering, carpet-searching for them.
Rao was Glores, but she didn't calculate, and the blind girl among them could foresee the dangers that would happen in the future.
A minute ago.
Lilian woke up from her dream and told Han Qingluo what she had foreseen, and combined with the anomaly that Galo hadn't come back for a long time, Jue decided that everyone should leave immediately, without waiting for Galo.
