In the early morning of the next day, Ye Wu led a team of more than ten people to ride a sturdy horse from Nanzhou City to the imperial capital.

In the team, everyone had a gloomy face, and the atmosphere seemed particularly depressing.

Ye Wu wiped his handguard carefully, the handguard has been transformed, and it has changed a lot.

This handguard is much thicker than the ordinary handguard, the whole body is made of silver and iron, extremely hard, the back of the hand is engraved with a delicate pattern, which is the unique family pattern of the Ye family, and in the center of the pattern is a dazzling red jade.

The gauntlet looks ordinary on the outside, but the internal structure is very complicated.

The inside of the gauntlet is divided into two layers, the lower layer is a normal circuit made of the thunder stone as the power source, and the upper layer is a spirit guide circuit made of the spirit body, which is connected to the spirit stone on the back of the hand.

In order to hide his spirit stone, Ye Wu specially made the groove on the back of his hand into a clamshell type, and the outside was ordinary jade, and after the jade was opened, the inside was the place where the spirit stone was placed.

This is not over, in order to deal with the emergency, Ye Wu also hid a spring dagger coated with poison at the wrist of the gauntlet, as long as his wrist is reversed outward about ninety degrees, the dagger will eject.

"Young master, we are about to leave the Nanzhou region and enter, other regions are not as good as Nanzhou, we should change our clothes. The guard next to him reminded.

"I'm tired of you. Ye Wu nodded.

Speaking of this guard, Ye Wu had the impression that this person's surname was Qi Mingyun was the deputy team in the team that followed Ye Wu to Nanzhou, this person was quite good, had a bold personality, and was a man who could be trusted.

Ye Wu changed his clothes.

"How long have we been gone?" he asked, tugging at the wide sleeves of his robe.

"It's been almost a day, and when it's almost dark in Nanzhou City, it's only afternoon in the imperial capital, so the young master can't feel it. Qi Yun replied.

"It's been almost a day...... Ye Wu muttered a sentence before he continued to ask, "Is there a post station or anything like that nearby?"

"Back to the young master, according to the letter from the brother who was exploring the road ahead, there is an abandoned and ruined temple not far ahead, where can we stay. ”

"Okay, just fix it up there, and we'll continue our journey tomorrow. ”

"Yes. ”

——————

The temple is not large, only the size of two classrooms, and the courtyard is full of decayed fallen leaves, and in the center, a dead tree stands here.

A group of people sat around a campfire.

"You don't know, I didn't weigh 100 pounds before I came to the power plant, you look at me now, I'm almost 15 pounds, you look at this muscle. ”

"Pull it down! I saw it during the last physical examination, what are you one hundred and five, obviously one hundred and seventeen. ”

"Haha! yes, with your physique, I don't believe it until you reach one hundred or seventeen. ”

“......”

This joke caused a surge of life in the lifeless ranks, and everyone laughed.

Ye Wu watched all this quietly, for some reason, he couldn't help laughing, holding up the water bag in his hand, his eyes were confused, as if he was thinking about this.

"Young master, it's cold, it's time to go into the house. Qi Yun reminded.

Ye Wu did not answer.

"Qi Yun, are you afraid of death?" he asked suddenly.

Qi Yun was stunned by this sentence, why did the young master of his family suddenly ask himself this question.

"Back to the young master's words, my subordinates are not afraid, because my subordinates have no other family members in this world, you have given me hope to live, and I am willing to give everything for you. He looked at Ye Wu with a firm look in his eyes.

After hearing his words, Ye Wuchao poured a large mouthful of water into his throat, and then said, "Then do you know if I'm afraid of death?"

Qi Yun paused, shook his head, and denied: "The subordinates don't know. ”

"I'm not afraid of your jokes, I'm afraid of death, I'm more afraid of death than anyone else. Ye Wu snorted, shaking the water bag in his hand lightly, he said indifferently, "But because of this, I fight better than anyone else, I dare to fight, even if there is only one ten-thousandth hope, I dare to try." ”

Qi Yun fell silent when he heard this, but for a moment, a trace of awe-inspiring color flashed in his eyes, he looked out of the door and shouted, "What person!"

When everyone heard this, they were shocked, and they hurriedly picked up the weapons beside them and watched around.

"Shoot the arrows!"

A man's shout came from outside the temple, and when Ye Wu heard this, his heart sank to the bottom.

As soon as the words fell, I only heard the swishing outside the house! The sky was full of fire feathers, which fell into the ground, and submerged in the thatch, and the ruined temple suddenly burst into flames.

"Get out quickly!" Ye Wu shouted loudly, and then took the lead in the lead.

Seeing this, everyone also followed and dared to go in the direction of the door, but just as they stepped out of the house, from outside the courtyard, a gray-faced guard hurried over to collide with Ye Wu.

"Young Master!" the man shouted on his knees when he saw Ye Wu.

Ye Wu knew who this person was, it was the brother he left outside to sentry, but he clearly remembered that he had arranged three sentry posts outside, but now only one person has returned...

"What about the others?" Ye Wu asked.

"Dead! I don't know when a gang of horse bandits appeared outside the door, and they attacked us with bows and crossbows without saying a word, and I am afraid I would not have come back without the cover of my two brothers!" said the sentry with tears in his eyes.

Hearing this, everyone present fell silent.

"Young master, why don't we go over the wall and escape through the back door. ”

"Yes, I've seen it before, the fire is very slow over there, you can get out with a rush. ”

"What if it's a pocket array set up by the enemy?

"yes...... What to do. ”

“...”

All of a sudden, there was a lot of discussion, some people advocated breaking through the back door, and some people advocated breaking through the front door.

But at this moment, a very discordant voice suddenly sounded.

"Young master, that person undoubtedly just wants money, why don't we give it to them..." "Young Master...... Don't!ah!"

Ye Wuer didn't say a word, he took out his long sword and slashed the man to the ground, this scene can make everyone, his young master usually looks like a gentle and elegant son, but today...

"Those who shake the hearts of the army, die!" Ye Wu pulled out the corpse and put his sword on it, and looked at this group of people coldly, "You only have two ways now, either wait here for death, or kill with Lao Tzu, although you will also die in that case, but you will die a glorious death!"

"Rather than die here, it's better to fight him! If you're lucky, we can still pull a cushion!"

"Young master, do you look down on us? We have also been on the front line, and we will not frown when the knife is on our necks, and our brothers will be afraid of this?"

"Fight!"

"I'm willing to go to the soup with the young master!"

“...”

This group of men was instantly aroused by Ye Wu's words, and after everyone discussed the countermeasures a little, they saw that they all picked up their weapons and rushed towards the door.

Ye couldn't pinch it lightly, he waved his sleeves, and the broken door at the entrance of the temple was reopened by a strong wind.

"Crossbowman!" As he remembered this, he saw that in front of the door, rows of crossbow arrows were neatly aligned, and they shot out in a volley, shooting at the old tree behind the door.

After a salvo of crossbows, the room was surprisingly quiet.

"Strange ......" The man in the horse bandit costume who led the way was puzzled in his heart, and after thinking about it slightly, he secretly screamed that it was not good.

"Sword and shield man, protect the archers!"

If you want to say what is the most powerful in ancient times, it is not a sword or a sword, but a bow, and it takes at least three or five years to train a group of archers, and a lot of money will be spent during this period, which shows how valuable this archer is.

Although he adjusted his formation in time, it was too late, and he saw more than a dozen figures coming out of the wall, all of them holding long knives, rushing forward without fear of death.

The archers were shocked, they were about to draw their long swords against the enemy, but unfortunately it was too late, and after a fierce battle, the archers suffered heavy losses.

As soon as the archer died, the rest would be settled, in terms of hand-to-hand combat ability, this group of people was far inferior to Ye Wu's people, and the battle only lasted for half an hour.

"It's really damn good, it's the other way around, you dare to rob us, I don't know if you're alive or dead..."

Who is this person? Isn't it the three joys that Ye Wu stopped him when he first came to Nanzhou City.

Compared with the first meeting, these three joys are a lot stronger, and they all say that muscles can solve most of the appearance problems, but this sentence obviously does not apply to three joys, the strong muscles with that face, it is really a bit joyful, just like an elephant with a mouse brain.

"The battlefield was cleaned, the bodies were buried, the weapons were disarmed. Ye Wu said, "Qi Yun, you come to the house with me." ”

"Yes. ”

The fire in the small temple had already been extinguished by the unknown light rain, and Ye Wu and the others came to the house and walked to the corpse of the man who had been hacked by him before.

"Wake up. Ye Wu patted the person.

What is the young master doing? Qi Yun was puzzled.

Just when Qi Yun thought that his young master's brain was burned, the corpse suddenly spoke.

"Aren't I dead, young master?" he said blankly.

This scene frightened Qi Yun on the side, only to see him quickly pull Ye Wu back a few steps, and at the same time quickly step forward and draw his sword and shout: "Who dare to make a mistake here!"

With that, he picked up the blade of his sword and slashed at the man.

"Stop!" Ye Wu stopped.

When Qi Yun heard this, he stopped, although the sword was sheathed, his hand was still pressed on the hilt, his eyes were staring at the man, only one of the other party's movements was wrong, he would immediately draw his sword and slash it.

"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid," Ye Wu comforted the man who was trembling with fear, "Why did you come with us if you were so afraid of death?" I remember I said before I went out, this was an extremely high mortality operation. ”

It took a long time for the man to speak.

"Back to the young master's words, I was also forced to do it, my mother's illness, seeing that it was going to die, I went to the city to get medicine, but who knew that the pharmacy saw me wearing the clothes of the young master's guard, and actually raised the price of medicine three times in public, I... Master, I'm not afraid of death, but I still have my mother... I..."
