Chapter 0018: Lu Yu
"Driving, driving, driving......" After a while, Guan Heng and Melti left the fragrant town in the dark night.
But no one noticed, and as they left, the largest mansion in town, the house of Sincha, a perfume merchant, suddenly burst into flames.
However, because Xincha is usually rich and unkind, and always bullies honest townspeople, no one goes up to pour a basin of water to extinguish the fire!
So, it can be regarded as conforming to everyone's wishes, and the mansion of the Xincha family was burned to the ground overnight without any suspense!
In the morning, in the wilderness, on the avenue between the trees, in a series of clattering, clattering, clattering, I saw two horses turning their hooves and shining their palms, running unhurriedly, coming from a distance!
"Huh-" Guan Heng suddenly grabbed the reins of his mount, he turned his head to Melti beside him and said, "I hear the sound of water flowing ahead, let's go over and drink the horses, take a rest, there is still a long way to go to the neighboring town!" β
"Huh?" Melti had been thinking about her thoughts on the horse, and when she heard what Guan Heng said, she raised her head a little dazedly: "Oh, okay! Then let's get there! β
"Melti, drink water!" On the edge of the stream, Guan Heng handed the water bladder to the other party after drawing water, and he asked with some curiosity: "What's wrong with you lately, you are always absent-minded, do you feel a little nervous about revenge?" β
"Guan Heng, I want to say ......" Before Melty could finish speaking, the two of them heard almost at the same time, the sound of a galloping carriage rolling on the road not far from the woods!
At this time, the driver of the cart slowly pulled the reins and stopped the cattle pulling the cart, and heard someone shouting: "Master! Let's take a break, our horses have been running for hours, and we can't keep an eye on them! β
A very hoarse voice rang out: "Well, that's it, but after a little rest, we'd better hurry up and get back to Aromatic Town before noon!" β
Guan Heng and Melti glanced at each other, and suddenly felt a little strange, they got up and led their two horses behind the hidden bushes, while they each found a place to hide!
At this time, the other party's carriage had already stopped on the side of the road, "Pow, puff, p! There were three vigorous figures, the first to jump out of the carriage, and then, one of them lifted the curtain of the carriage, and a fat man with a fat brain walked down with a fat body.
"Hmph, that's bad luck!" The fat man was panting and wiping his sweat, and said with some complaints: "The big man I was waiting for had been temporarily rerouted, and he didn't go to the neighboring town, so he let me run for nothing!" β
The other three people all had weapons on their waists and backs, and they were obviously fat bodyguards, and one of them was a short and stout man, and one of them said: "Hey, Master Sincha, it's no wonder that people didn't notice it, I heard that the person who came to deliver the letter walked near the town three days ago, was knocked unconscious, and when he woke up again, the cloak on his body was snatched away!" β
"Ahh The fat guy is the bastard Sincha!! Melti, who was hiding behind the tree, was so angry that her eyes were red and her forehead was bulging, and she clung to the hilt of her sword, and she was about to rush out and fight hard!
"Hey, don't be impulsive yet!" Guan Heng hurriedly gestured to Melti, and the girl suppressed the endless anger in her heart, calmed down a little, and shrank there without moving!
"Zhuang Dun, Chuck, I'll go to the creek to fetch some water to feed the horses, and you guys are here with Master Sincha!" A tall and thin man spoke, carrying a wooden barrel in his hand, and walked straight to the stream.
The location of this water source is forty or fifty meters away from the avenue where the carriage is parked, and the road is overgrown with bushes and grass, but it is very hidden!
Guan Heng glanced at Melti, and the two of them suddenly ran into the grass, and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
"Lalala...... Hum hum hum ...... "The tall thin man who fetched the water, while humming a small tune, squatted by the stream to draw water, who knew that he just glanced at the water, but suddenly found that in the reflection in the water, there was someone behind him!"
"Huh?! You are ......" Before the tall and thin man could cry out, Melti, who had already appeared behind him, raised her sword and fell, and with a pop, there was an immediate line-like mark on the side of the man's neck, and a canopy of red mist "Zizi ......Zizi" immediately rushed out of the thin line of his neck, and the stream was dyed red in an instant!
"Compatriots, people...... This is the first one! Melti shook the red stains on the blade of the sword, and the red beads fell into the stream one by one, and then slowly wiped them on the other party's clothes, and she muttered to herself: "Then, it's Sincha and his other two minions!" β
"Melti, get hidden!" Guan Heng stood guard in the low bushes, and he roared: "It seems that someone is coming again, move faster!" β
"Whew!" Melti moved, and her figure fell upside down, and in an instant she disappeared into the shadows of the trees!
"Hey, Shad! Why are you moving so slowly! It was the short and stout man, Zhuang Dun, who shouted, "Master Sincha is impatient, you fetch water, do you still want to take a nap there?" β
"This stinky boy! I'm calling you! β
Seeing that his companion was there, lying motionless by the stream, Zhuang Dun was a little annoyed, and kicked the other party's buttocks: "I'll talk to you!" Deaf! β
"Puff ......" Shad, who had no reaction, was planted directly into the water!
"That's not right! The creek is all red! Something happened! Qiang-" With a nervous face, Zhuang Dun quickly pulled out the saber at his waist with his backhand, and when he was about to turn back, he only heard a snort, and the opponent's attack had hit the back of his neck!
"Ahh The evil wind in the back of his head was not good, Zhuang Dun didn't have time to quickly parry, and rushed forward in a hurry.
"Bang!" Coincidentally, Zhuang Dun happened to fall on his unlucky companion, Shad, who took the first step!
"Whew! Burst! The heavy sword and the stainless steel short sword were respectively squeezed into Zhuang Dun's left and right ribs, and the kid was about to shout in the unbearable injury, but he was lifted by Guan Heng and stepped his head into the stream: "Goo-du...... ......"In just a few seconds, this guy is gone!"
"Let's go! Go settle the remaining two! Guan Heng picked up the heavy sword, and Melti in the back picked up the saber on the ground, now holding a short sword in one hand and a saber in the other, because Guan Heng read it from the book, the technique of the elf double sword, roughly taught her a few tricks, and now she feels that holding the double sword is much easier than the original!
"Who?" Chuck, the last bodyguard standing by the carriage, saw Guan Heng and Melti swaggering out of the woods, however, he did not find any trace of his two companions, which was a very strange scene!
