Chapter 98: Attacked Halfway

For various reasons, Zhu Nanmu did not let Master Dongguo accompany him, and let him stay in the royal capital for the time being, while also watching the movements of the royal capital.

Therefore, just like when he came, when he went back, it was still him and the two of them.

The difference is that when they came to the royal capital, they took the second-order early flying demon beast, and when they went back, they took the highest-level third-order late flying demon beast.

So it took them about a few days to get here, and less than half an hour to get back.

Moreover, the attitude of the Beast Hall towards them is also very different from the last time, they used to be just ordinary guests, but now they are treated as guests, and the high-level officials of the Beast Hall personally receive them and give them the highest treatment.

The Beast Hall was even willing to make an exception and send them directly to Tianhe County. But he was politely declined by Zhu Nanmu, he didn't want to be too high-profile and eye-catching.

Therefore, they still followed the rules and flew to the Beast Hall branch of Tianling City, which was closest to Tianhe County. Then Zhu Nanmu and the others politely refused many kindnesses from the Beast Palace, bought two fast horses in Tianling City, and went straight to Tianhe County out of the city.

In the middle of a mountain forest leading from Tianling City to Tianhe County, Zhu Nanmu, who was galloping on his horse, suddenly grabbed the reins and stopped.

Qingyin on the side also stopped, and looked at his uncle for some reason.

"Be careful!" Zhu Nanmu pulled Qingyin into his arms, and shot backwards with a shake of his body.

As soon as Qingyin's body left its previous position, a long turquoise arrow appeared out of thin air, piercing directly through the horse it was riding.

This long turquoise arrow was one or two meters long, the thickness of a finger, and the body of the arrow was engraved with several purple-black strange textures, blooming with distorted green light.

The long arrow was extremely fast, piercing the void with a piercing popping sound. The fast horse that Qingyin was riding was shot on the spot and fell to the ground.

Qingyin was held by Zhu Nanmu, and it can be said that it was dangerous to avoid this arrow.

"Are you okay, Xiao Qingyin?" Zhu Nanmu looked at the girl in his arms with a light smile and asked in a concerned tone.

"It doesn't matter. ”

The girl replied indifferently, and then broke free directly from Zhu Nanmu's arms, who still didn't intend to let go.

Zhu Nanmu didn't show any embarrassment, smiled indifferently, then turned his head and glanced around, his gaze fixed on a certain direction, and said, "Okay, don't hide, come out!"

"Huh!"

A sound of surprise sounded in the void in front of him, and then black light flashed, and a group of dozens of people flashed out.

"It's a bit of a skill to be able to discover my existence and dodge the arrow just now. The first person looked at Zhu Nanmu and the others, and said with a sneer.

As he spoke, he raised his hand and made a move, and the long green arrow turned around and flew back, quickly shrinking into a small green arrow that sank into his sleeve and disappeared.

Qingyin couldn't help but change his face when he saw the people in front of him dressed up, "You are the bandits of Heifeng Mountain; ”

The Black Wind Village Thieves Group is the largest bandit gang in the more than ten cities around Tianling City, burning, killing and looting, and is the one who is in trouble. More than a dozen cities, including Tianhe County, have been sacked by this gang of robbers.

Tianling City and more than a dozen surrounding cities have also carried out many encirclements and suppressions, but Black Wind Mountain is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and the gang of robbers in Black Wind Mountain are all fierce and fierce, brave and good at fighting, and the big master of Black Wind Village is a martial arts powerhouse whose strength has reached the late stage of the Imperial Qi Realm.

It is also for this reason that repeated encirclement and suppression have ended in failure.

Perhaps it is the joint encirclement and suppression of Zhucheng several times, which has also made Heifeng Village suffer a lot, in recent years, they have been much more restrained and low-key, and they are not as often as often as in the past to go to the cities to burn and loot.

", the chick's eyesight is not bad, and she recognizes our origin at a glance. One of the thieves laughed, and a pair of thief eyebrows swept around Qingyin's body unscrupulously.

Zhu Nanmu's eyes narrowed slightly, forming a line; it turned out to be a group of robbers who robbed houses.

Then I saw him pretending to accompany the smiling face and said, "It turns out that the kings of the Black Wind Village are here in person, disrespectful and disrespectful, I don't know why the kings came to our master and servant this time? ”

"Don't worry, you won't run in vain, you are a big deal in yourself. One of the bandits sneered.

Hearing this, Zhu Nanmu's expression did not change in the slightest, let alone show any panic or anything like that, but asked with interest, "Oh, when did Heifeng Village start buying murder?"

"There's no way, the world is not easy to mix, whatever can make money, do it. The leader of the group of bandits said lightly.

Zhu Nanmu nodded, expressing understanding, "This is indeed the truth, the world is hard, and it is worth one point to earn one." For everyone's sake, it's not easy for you to live, can you tell me who is going to kill us? By the way, I'll also talk about the bid, and I also want to know how much my head is worth. ”

"You're an interesting person, you can be so calm and unhurried when things come to an end, you are indeed a character, no wonder someone is willing to pay such a high price for your life. The leader laughed, "I can't say who paid us to hire us for your life, because of the rules of this business." But the other party's bid can tell you,"

"No more, no less, just 100,000 gold coins. ”

Hearing this price, Zhu Nanmu shook his head with some dissatisfaction, "It's so low, our lives are so worthless, it stands to reason that I alone can't do more than this price." ”

Then he smacked his lips again, and said angrily, "Tut-tut, you guys don't know how to do business." Now that I know that their identities are not ordinary, if it were me, I would have to ask them at least twice as much. ”

"Oh, listening to the meaning of your words, it seems that I have guessed the identity of the person behind the scenes. The leader narrowed his eyes and said with a smile rather than a smile.

Zhu Nanmu raised his eyebrows; "What do you say?" ”

Of course, he had already guessed who was going to kill him, except for the gang of Wang Du's gentlemen led by Li Chaoyu who were teased and had nowhere to be angry, who else would make a move on him, a distinguished guest who knew the first star, at such a time.

If there are indeed many people who secretly want to make a move against them, there will be no one who dares to take the risk of offending a one-star knower in this special period.

Those guys are old foxes, long past the age when they want to kill people when their heads are hot. Only those young people with strong blood will be willful.

Whoever makes them unhappy, they have to make them even more unhappy.

If you are young and crazy, you won't care what the other consequences will be.
