Chapter 9: Crisis
In fact, Lin Kong only felt a shadow flickering in front of him, and he didn't see what it was at all. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
At this time, the sun has not yet set, there are no flowers and trees within a few zhang around, the line of sight is quite open, and the forest sky can be concluded that it is not any birds and beasts passing by.
Since everyone was unaware, and Lin Kong himself didn't see it clearly, after thinking about it, he still didn't say it in the end.
In an unfounded situation, if you boldly say a false speculation, not only will others not believe it, but it may also give you a blank eye, which is a completely thankless thing, Lin Kong doesn't want to be such a wrongdoer.
"Young master, the master let the little one accompany the young master." Pretending to be casual, he came to Che Wu, and Lin Kong secretly raised his vigilance.
Now among the nine people in the group, he and Che Wu are the weakest, and if they really encounter any danger, both of them will become a burden.
Lin Kong is just a slave, not many people care about life and death, but Che Wu is different, once there is a crisis, Che Zhenshan and others are bound to do their best to protect it, and at this time, Che Wu is inseparable, it couldn't be better.
Che Wu was combing the black cat with a wooden comb, and when he saw Lin Kong coming, he hurriedly stuffed the black cat into his arms, and said shyly: "Hold, it's convenient for Young Master Ben, you can help it comb." ”
"Oh!"
Che Wu stuffed the black cat and the wooden comb to Lin Kong, and ran impatiently, it seemed that he couldn't hold it back.
Lin Kong wanted to accompany Che Wu to go with him, and be a sentry by the way, but after thinking about it, he gave up, because Che Wu is a very strange person, and he runs far away every time it is convenient, like a big girl, for fear of being seen.
The nine people in the group are all men, and Che Wu's behavior is obviously a little weird, but he is a young master, and Che Zhenshan doesn't care about it, so it's even more difficult for the others to say anything, and they all turn a blind eye.
Lin Kong has always wanted to teach the black cat a lesson, but he has never found a chance, this time it's okay, as soon as the figure of Che Wu disappeared, Lin Kong picked up the wooden comb and scraped it twice, so painful that the black cat screamed: "Boy, what do you want?" ”
The black cat was caught by Lin Kong to death, and it didn't have the slightest power to resist, but it believed that Lin Kong wouldn't dare to hurt it, so it spoke in a very tough tone.
Just as the black cat thought, Lin Kong really didn't dare to hurt or kill it in front of everyone, but if he taught it a little lesson, Lin Kong could still do it.
Pressing the black cat's head, Lin Kong scraped it twice with a wooden comb, and said: "I don't want to do anything, I just want you to remember that if you go against me Lin Kong, there will be no good fruit to eat, and it is better to be honest in the future, and then dare to play any tricks, it will not be as simple as pain, understand?" ”
Now only Lin Kong can understand the cat's language, even if there is a car dance to support it, the black cat has no way to sue, seeing that Lin Kong raised the wooden comb again, the black cat hurriedly begged for mercy: "Wait, wait a minute, I have something to say." ”
"What do you say? If you do something wrong, you will be punished, and you will have to wait until I finish shaving. Lin Kong raised the wooden comb and scraped it a few more times, not giving the black cat a chance to beg for mercy at all.
In Lin Kong's opinion, an animal full of spirituality like a black cat has a very high IQ, so it is necessary to leave a deep impression on it like dealing with people, and only in this way can it have a deterrent effect.
If you only hate the black cat, Che Wu doesn't understand it at all, and it can't write, otherwise it has to write a long pleading, and hand it over to Che Wu in person to expose Lin Kong's various evil deeds.
After suffering a lot of flesh and skin, the black cat was really afraid, and it finally understood that Lin Kong, who seemed to be honest and honest, was actually a ruthless character who would take revenge.
When Che Wu returned, the black cat had been tortured by Lin Kong and was weak, lying in Lin Kong's arms, just like squinting and sleeping, and did not attract Che Wu's attention.
"Young master, this cat is really cute, grooming it motionless, very spiritual." As soon as he saw Che Wu, Lin Kong hurriedly handed over the black cat, and flattered him by the way.
The reason why Lin Kong did this was just to distract Che Wu's attention, so that he would not notice the abnormality on the black cat.
As soon as he heard that the black cat was very spiritual, Che Wu raised his head, happily hugged the black cat into his arms, and said: "That is, if it weren't for it, you would have died a long time ago, after all, it is still your savior!" ”
"Uh...... The young master is right, when he arrives at the barracks, Lin Kong will definitely help the young master take good care of it, even if it is to repay it for saving his life. ”
"Young Master Ben has this idea, but when he was tired from military training, he was really afraid that he couldn't take care of it, if you could help take care of it, it would be great."
Hearing Che Wu's words, the black cat couldn't help but shudder, and suddenly meowed out, his head kept rubbing against Che Wu's body, begging Che Wu not to give it to Lin Kong.
It's a pity that Che Wu didn't understand, and he didn't understand what the black cat was trying to express, but thought that the black cat was very happy and was getting close to him!
It's a sad thing to not be able to speak, the black cat pleaded for a long time, but in the end, what he got was Che Wu's firmer determination, and Lin Kong's smug eyes secretly from time to time, so angry that the black cat really wanted to find a rope to hang.
In the blink of an eye, the sun was about to set, Laifu and the others had already set up the tent, and the food also exuded a fragrant smell.
"Father came back just in time, just waiting for you." Che Wu was actually hungry for a long time, and when he saw Che Zhenshan returning, he hurriedly picked up the dishes and chopsticks.
"What to eat? Hurry up and pack your luggage, set off immediately, and cross the Hungry Wolf Ridge overnight at the fastest speed, quick! Far away, Che Zhenshan gave an order, so that Che Wu didn't even eat a mouthful of food, and the guards around him hurriedly put away the dishes and chopsticks.
"Father, what's going on?" From the day he was sensible, Che Wu had never seen Che Zhenshan so nervous, and he knew that the matter was too serious, so he immediately put away his young master's temperament.
Suddenly, seeing Che Wu's rigorous side, Lin Kong couldn't help frowning, because in his impression, all the young masters of rich and powerful families were dazed, and when they encountered something, they suddenly had no masters, but Che Wu was extremely calm, as if he had changed in an instant.
I don't know why, Lin Kong suddenly felt that not only Che Zhenshan was full of mysteries, but even Che Wu began to make people wonder why.
After thinking about it, Laifu and the others had already cleaned up, and they each rode on their war horses, and at this time, Che Zhenshan also happened to walk in front of everyone.
"Let's all get on the horse, the road ahead is not easy, everyone follow closely, don't fall behind." Che Zhenshan turned over and got on the horse, and did not forget to tell everyone.
As usual, the five guards and Rifle were silent, neither discussing nor questioning, but after getting on their horses, they couldn't help but put their hands on the hilt of their swords.
And when he was pulling, Che Zhenshan deliberately let Che Wu and Lin Kong walk in the middle, but he himself followed closely behind him, and from all kinds of signs, Che Zhenshan had discovered the danger.
Everyone entered the Hungry Wolf Ridge, the sky was already dark, the bright moon gradually climbed up the mountain, the whole land was suddenly shrouded in night, and an invisible murderous aura slowly rose.
"Whoa...... Woo! ”
A wolf howl was heard in the distance, and then all kinds of strange beast roars rose and fell to each other, and the beasts finally woke up from their sleep and began to dominate the long night in the place of humans.
Lin Kong had lived in the Sacrifice Village for ten years, and every night he would hear all kinds of roars from the Hidden Dragon Mountain Range, and he had long been accustomed to it, but he could still maintain his composure.
But it was the first time for Che Wu to experience such a dark night, and he was inevitably a little nervous, which could be seen from his constant watching around.
As for the black cat, it had long been so frightened that it rolled up into a ball, like a fluffy ball of thread, and hid in Che Wu's arms.
"Stop!"
As soon as he entered the Hungry Wolf Ridge less than ten miles, Laifu, who was walking in the front, suddenly grabbed the reins and raised his hand to signal everyone to stop.
This is a section of steep slopes on both sides, there is a scoop-shaped section of more than ten zhang wide in the middle, the road ahead is extremely narrow, only able to accommodate one person and one horse to pass, whoever chooses this place to set up an ambush, only one master, can block thousands of troops and horses forward.
When Che Zhenshan asked Laifu to open the way, Lin Kong saw that this person was not simple, and now the momentum exuded by Laifu proved that he was by no means a house slave.
"The moon is dark and the wind is high on the night of killing, today the moon is shining, you have chosen the wrong day, right?" Laifu smiled coldly at the dark mountain road, and with a "swish", he pulled out a bright weapon from his waist.
Lin Kong fixed his eyes and saw that it was actually a copper-handled soft sword more than three feet long and two fingers wide.
The soft sword body is as thin as a piece of paper, extremely tough, and the blades on both sides are extremely sharp, and they can stretch and bend in combat, which is unpredictable. The people who use this weapon are generally masters of the house.
As soon as Laifu pulled out the soft sword, the soft sword body bounced straight with a "buzz", exuding a cold glow.
"If you haven't shown up yet, do you want me to invite you?" Rifle locked his gaze on the narrow intersection, and with a shake of the long sword in his hand, the cold light increased by two points.
"Hehehe, you are worthy of being the commander of the infantry battalion of the Kurosaki Army, and sure enough, there are two brushes, I really underestimate you." In the darkness, a man in black wearing a night suit and a black scarf slowly walked out.
This person is of medium stature, neither fat nor thin, except for a pair of deep eyes and thick eyebrows exposed, everything else is covered by clothing, and it is difficult to judge the identity and age.
The man in black first glanced at the soft sword in Laifu's hand, and then moved his gaze to Che Zhenshan, Lin Kong and the others.
After looking at everyone, the man in black turned his head and said, "Come out, nine is not a lot!" ”
"Whoosh ......"
As soon as the man in black finished speaking, there was a sudden sound of breaking wind around him, and about thirty people jumped out one after another, surrounding Lin Kong and the others.
These people are dressed almost identically to the men in black, all of them are masked in black scarves and holding steel knives.
"Protect your lordship!"
At the same time that the men in black appeared one after another, the five guards with knives also drew their weapons at their waists, protecting Che Zhenshan and Lin Kong in the middle.
For some reason, Che Zhenshan didn't carry a weapon on him, and after seeing the black-clothed crowd appear, he breathed a sigh of relief, and stepped forward and ordered: "Don't worry about the old man, you just need to protect Che Wu." ”
Che Zhenshan's sharp gaze swept over every assassin, and finally fell on the man in black who spoke earlier, and said, "If the old man's guess is right, you are all invited by Xu Liang, right?" ”
"Lord Che has good eyesight, we did receive money from Lord Xu, but there is something unclear below, I don't know if Lord Che can give advice." Maybe the man in black felt that Che Zhenshan was already in the bag, and there was no possibility of escape, so he was not in a hurry to do it.
"Say!" The other party was not in a hurry, and Che Zhenshan was even less anxious, he stared at the man in black expressionlessly, without showing a trace of fear.
The seemingly calm scene often hides an incomparable danger, as a few weak people, Lin Kong had to think about his own life, while the two sides had not yet moved, Lin Kong quietly approached Che Wu a few steps.
