Chapter 21: Crisis Comes
"I didn't expect that Senior Brother Eight, who is usually taciturn, is so strong. When Xu Jingnian saw this scene, he couldn't help but sigh. The eighth senior brother gives people the feeling that he is rejecting people thousands of miles away, and Xu Jingnian basically hasn't spoken to him along the way, so he knows very little about him.
"Hehe, although your eighth senior brother doesn't usually talk much, his strength is not bad, and he has reached the early stage of transforming into a god. And if you talk about speed alone, I may not be the opponent of the eighth junior brother. The third senior brother Lin Qiong, who had been following behind the senior brother and did not speak, also opened his mouth at this moment, and it was obvious that the third senior brother had a very high opinion of the eighth senior brother.
"It's not good, he jumped out of the window and ran away!" When the third senior brother spoke, the black-clothed assassin somehow avoided the attack of the eighth senior brother and directly jumped out of the window to escape. "It's fine. The senior brother was not in a hurry at all, but just reminded the eighth senior brother, "Eighth senior brother, stay alive." ”
"Hmm. After the eighth senior brother gave a simple hum, he also jumped down from the window and chased after him.
"It's not safe here, Captain Wu, let's evacuate this inn quickly. "Senior brother said.
"Okay, Master Xue, let's get out of here first. "Captain Wu has a lot of experience in escorting, so he naturally understands that he really can't waste any more time at the moment, otherwise once he is surrounded by more thieves, if he wants to break through, then he may be unable to escape at that time.
"Okay, good, good, there is Commander Lao Wu, and these knights, when you arrive at Qinghezhuang, if you have any wishes, please mention it. After confirming that there was no danger, Master Xue walked out from behind Captain Wu and thanked everyone.
"Little junior brother, third junior brother, you should also go and prepare your luggage. Head Wu, we meet at the entrance of the inn. After the senior brother said this, he took Xu Jingnian and the third senior brother Lin Qiong back to the room to pack their luggage.
Xu Jingnian didn't have much luggage for the three of them, even if the senior brother brought the luggage of the eighth senior brother, it was quickly sorted out, and soon everyone was ready at the door of the inn.
"Someone got it. Xu Jingnian and the others had just stood firm at the door of the inn, and the eighth senior brother had already escorted the black-clothed assassin to everyone.
The black-clad assassin was covered in scars and blood, and he looked extremely terrifying, obviously suffering a lot of injuries.
"Tell me, who sent you?" said Captain Wu walked up to the man, grabbed the man's mask, and said coldly.
"Hmph, do you think I'm going to tell you? His eyes swept over the faces of the crowd, but he paused in one direction for a few more moments, then let out a wild laugh and killed himself by biting his tongue.
"You!" Captain Wu wanted to stop it, but after all, he was a step too slow, and he could only sigh helplessly.
"Deputy Regiment Leader?" Only Xu Jingnian noticed that the direction in which the black-clothed assassin's eyes stayed was exactly where the deputy head of the mercenary group was.
"Forget it, everyone is dead, regimental commander, brothers are ready, are we leaving. Just when Xu Jingnian was suspicious of the deputy head of the regiment, the deputy head of the regiment walked up to the side of the head of Wu and asked.
"It's almost, everyone is ready!" Hearing this, Regiment Leader Wu also understood that this was not the time to hesitate, so he immediately turned to the people in the mercenary group and asked. "Ready. The members of the mercenary group responded one after another.
"Master Xue, Xu Shaoxia and all senior brothers, what about you. Head Wu turned his gaze to Master Xue again.
"Don't worry, I'm ready. Xu Jingqing said with a young smile.
"I'm ready too. Master Xue actually hid beside the Eighth Senior Brother at this moment, and said softly.
"In that case, let's go. "Captain Wu walked in the front, Xu Jingnian and the four of them followed behind Commander Wu, the wealthy merchant followed the Eighth Senior Brother closely, and the other members of the mercenary group dispersed and surrounded and protected the old man Xue.
However, things did not go as expected, and the mercenary group had just evacuated the inn, and before they had gone far, they heard the sound of horses' hooves behind them, and the sound of horses' hooves became clearer and clearer, and the ground began to shake slightly. At this moment, the sky was already very dark, and the firelight was also accompanied by the sound of horses' hooves, and they were rapidly approaching the mercenary group in the dark night.
"Someone came after him, stopped. "As an experienced mercenary group leader, Commander Wu immediately signaled everyone to stop and prepare for battle.
"What's going on, Master Xue, what kind of goods did you bring, so many people are worried about it. The deputy head of the regiment had a hot temper, and went directly to the position of Master Xue, grabbed the corner of Master Xue's clothes, and asked forcefully.
"Ah, it's just ordinary gold and silver treasures, nothing particularly precious, and I don't know why so many people are eyeing this shipment. That Master Xue was grabbed by the deputy head of his clothes, looking at the angry expression on the deputy head of the group, he couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat, and immediately threw a look at head Wu for help.
"Li Xuan, don't be rude. Let's meet the enemy first. "Commander Wu actually wants to know what is hidden in this batch of goods, but the matter has come to this point, even if he knows what it is, it will not help, and it is the right thing to repel the enemy first.
"Hmph. "Deputy Head Li Xuan and Head Wu have known each other for a long time, and they are still very convinced of this boss in their hearts, although they are unwilling at this moment, they can only let go of the hand that grabbed Master Xue, stand beside Head Wu, and prepare to meet the enemy.
There was still a quarrel here, but the people from the other side had already arrived. There were about forty or fifty people, similar to the previous bandits, everyone was riding a horse and holding a torch in their hands, the only difference was that they were all masked, and they were looking at Xu Jingnian and the others with a bad face at the moment.
"Hurry up and hand over the goods, uncle, I can consider letting you live. At the front of the group was a middle-aged man with a scar on his face, holding a large knife, pointing at the disdainful opening of the crowd.
"What if I don't like it. Ignoring the threat of the leader, Commander Wu laughed.
"If you are not happy, then you will die without a whole corpse! brothers!" The temper of the bandit leader looked very impatient, and when he heard that the head of the bandit Wu refused to hand over the goods, he jumped off the horse directly, and together with the group of bandits behind him, he was about to attack Xu Jingnian and the others.
