Chapter 9, Killing
The morning sun had just risen, and a horse-drawn carriage slowly walked on the road, heading in the direction of Shouchun City.
Xiao Yi yawned and sat in front of the carriage, he didn't sleep all night, he was still a little sleepy in the morning, and it happened that the sun was shining on his face, and he yawned even more. Chu Ge and Liancheng also sat in the carriage and closed their eyes to recuperate.
Today there was one more person in their convoy, the man who had been seriously injured last night, who was pulling the carriage on foot.
It's strange to say, this person was obviously dying last night, but in one night, he became vibrant, and the morning really shocked the three people, Xiao Yi even secretly wondered if this person was deliberately pretending yesterday, but after he secretly tried it, he found that this person was the same as ordinary people, which made him very puzzled.
And after this person recovered, he did not leave, but only said "The grace of saving life will definitely be repaid!" He stopped talking, and when Chu Ge and the others got into the carriage, they took the initiative to lead the horses. Chu Ge persuaded him that there was no need to do this, but this person didn't say a word, but Chu Ge could only accept this groom, and when Chu Ge asked him how to call him, he was very simple and said the word "Hong Zhen" directly.
This is why today's Xiao Yi is so relaxed, there is a white groom, but he is idle.
The carriage traveled all the way, and along the way there were already large fields of crops, and it seemed that there were villages nearby.
Sure enough, after half an hour of travel, I could already see cooking smoke in front of me.
The village is not big, there are only about a dozen households, and at this time, the smell of rice is wafting in the village, and Chu Ge and Liancheng in the carriage also woke up and looked outside.
"Childe, let's take a rest here, after this village, Shouchun City is not far away!" Xiao Yi said to Chu Ge that their water bags were empty and needed some supplies.
"Good!" The carriage stopped, Chu Ge and Lian Cheng got out of the carriage, breathing in the air that belonged to the countryside.
"Ladies and gentlemen, where are you going?" At this time, a little old man came to the carriage with a cane.
"Uncle, we are businessmen, we are going to Shouchun City to do business, and it happens that the water is running out here, and we want to borrow some water!" After Xiao Yi explained his intentions, the old man hurriedly said yes and motioned for him to follow him into the village.
The old man walked in front, Chu Ge and the others followed, and there were people who came out to fetch water in the village from time to time, and when they saw the old man, they greeted him warmly, and they didn't forget to glance at Chu Ge and the others curiously.
"Haha, come after me!" The two children were playing, and one of the children running in front of them was shouting and running, completely oblivious to the group in front of the house.
"Oops" The child ran so fast that he was knocked down by a stone and fell to the ground.
"Are you alright?" When Liancheng saw it, he hurriedly ran over, picked up the child, and patted the soil on his body! "Sister, I'm fine!" Where had the children in the village seen such a beautiful sister, they were directly stunned, and the child who ran behind did not dare to go up and stood aside.
"It's okay, don't run so fast next time!" Liancheng stood up, smiled and touched the child's head, completely unaware that his clothes were soiled in several places while helping the child.
"Got it, sister!" The child turned around and ran home!
"Children are not sensible, don't be surprised!" The old man was also a little restrained, for fear that Liancheng would be angry, but he knew that the clothes on the rich and noble families could cover their income for a year!
"It's okay!" Liancheng simply patted his clothes, and Chu Ge also came over and said, "Don't worry, boss, I won't embarrass you for such a trivial matter!"
"That's good, that's good!" The old man looked a little embarrassed and continued to walk forward.
There was a well in the middle of the village, and the old man said that this was where they drew water. When he got here, the old man said to go and get the tools, and he didn't come back for a long time after he left.
"Where did this old man go to get something, for a while, he still hasn't come!" Xiao Yi sat bored on the well. "We're waiting, after all, the old man's legs are inconvenient!" Liancheng said to Chu Ge. "Yes!" Chu Ge also agreed!
In front of the carriage, Hong Zhen, who was speechless, stared at the village, with a strange look in his eyes, and he noticed some unusual aura!
At this time, Xiao Yi also felt wrong, there was suddenly no sound in the village, only the smoke of each family's cooking was still there.
"Childe, that's not right!" Xiao Yi was about to stand up, and accidentally glanced at the well, and found that it was a dry well!
Chu Ge looked at the dry well, and said with a somewhat solemn face, "What did he trick us into coming here for?" "Childe, let's leave now, don't worry about this for now!" Xiao Yi persuaded! "Xiao Yi is right, or let's leave first!" Liancheng also felt that there was suddenly some quiet in the village!
"Good!" After Chu Ge's words were finished, Xiao Yi found that more than ten figures had appeared on the surrounding houses, all of them dressed in black and holding long knives in their hands!
"Can't go?" Chu Ge looked at the surrounding figures, pulled Liancheng closer to the carriage, and took out the matching sword from the car, while Hong Zhen on the side saw the sword in Chu Singer, and his face showed surprise!
"Who is here, who dares to rob us!" Xiao Yi looked around sharply.
"A master! I don't know if you can stop us! A man who seemed to be the leader said!
"How does he know my strength?" Xiao Yi didn't think much about it at this time, these people rushed up, it was really difficult to do!
"Up!" The leader was very simple, and directly issued a killing order, and the surrounding killers swarmed up and came straight to Chu Ge and the others!
"Childe be careful!" After all, Xiao Yi is a first-class master, and these killers obviously do not have this level, even if there are many people, under Xiao Yi's attack, they are still injured one after another, and Chu Ge also knows some martial arts, it is still okay to resist with Liancheng! As for Hong Zhen, it's strange that no one touched him at all!
Xiao Yi's skills are very powerful, five or six people have fallen on the ground, and he is still not injured at all! These people seemed to know how powerful Xiao Yi was, and they all put Chu Ge aside, ready to deal with him first!
As the prince's guard, Xiao Yi naturally practiced the royal internal moves, and every move contained a killing machine, even if the other party had a long knife, Xiao Yi still had the upper hand. After killing the last person with one punch, Xiao Yi hurriedly retreated to Chu Ge's side!
"It's worthy of being a royal guard, and he won't show his real skills until the last moment!" I don't know when a figure appeared on the roof of the house in the distance! And as soon as the person's voice fell, the person had already arrived in front of Chu Ge and the others!
At this time, Xiao Yi had beads of sweat on his head, and he knew that he had met a master!
The middle-aged man who came, with an ordinary face, the only difference from ordinary people is that he has a deep scar on his face, everyone who practices martial arts knows that this kind of scar must be caused by a heavy knife, and he can withstand this knife without dying, and he really has the ability!
"Who are you and why are you killing us!" Chu Ge asked!
"Kill you?" The person who came looked at Chu Ge and smiled, and said a little hideously, "I just wanted to kill you!" ”
"Kill me!" Chu Ge never remembered offending the person in front of him, nor did he remember any enemies!
"If you want to kill my son-in-law, then you have to ask me!" Xiao Yi was afraid that the other party would have reinforcements, so he planned to strike first. And before he reached the other party's body, he felt a mountain force directly slapped him back, and the five organs and six organs shook like a river and a sea!
The man withdrew his palm, looked at Xiao Yi and said, "In terms of your strength that is about to enter the Heavenly Xuan Realm, wherever you put it, you are a general-level figure, and you will be willing to hide as a guard for the sake of a waste prince!" ”
Chu Ge also knew Xiao Yi's strength for the first time, and looked at him with some surprise! "Aren't you also a Heavenly Xuan Realm, and you're still a killer!" Xiao Yi calmed down and looked at each other!
"I killed him just to get revenge!" The middle-aged man's eyes stared at Chu Ge deeply!
"I don't remember how to offend you!" Chu Ge frowned, "If you really have such a deep hatred, I am willing to let you deal with it!" ”
"Childe!" Chu Ge stopped Xiao Yi who was about to speak!
"I didn't expect that the rumored waste prince is not such a waste!" The middle-aged man stroked the scar on his face with his hand and said, "This scar was left by the Lanjiang War, God didn't let me die, just to kill you today!" ”
"Lanjiang?" Chu Ge thought of something, looked at the man opposite, and said with an ugly face, "Are you from Shu?" ”
