Chapter 30: Are You Talking About Me?
An angry look appeared on Lilian's face.
Xu Shuo could almost predict what would happen next, and he secretly complained in his heart, while quietly reaching for the dagger at his waist, intending to take out a few minions by surprise before the situation deteriorated, so that he might be able to raise the odds of victory a little bit.
Although he didn't think there was any chance of winning at all.
However, Lilian's next performance was completely beyond Xu Shuo's expectations.
"Wait, do you really think of yourself as a character? From the moment you shot at the Wink family, your fate was already doomed. Lilian's words were sonorous, and she stared coldly into the leader's eyes and said, "I am glad that there is something more important now than your filthy life, so let you wait for another two days, but the debt owed to my Wink family will have to be paid sooner or later." β
Lonely, resolute, and self-respecting, Lilian at this moment, whether it is her eyes or the tone of her words, is like two people when she was in the labyrinth, with the posture of a superior, Xu Shuo realized that although she sometimes looks like a fool, Lilian is the eldest lady of the Wink family after all.
"Of course, if you want to go to Huangquan now, Miss Ben doesn't mind helping you, although it will delay some time, how about it? Want to try it? Lilion said coldly.
Although Xu Shuo knew that Lilian's words were said to the masked leader behind him, he still felt shuddered as he stood opposite Lilian, as if an invisible pressure was coming towards him.
(Good, so strong...) Is this really acting?! οΌ
Xu Shuo glanced at the masked leader behind him, only to see that the latter frowned, as if judging the truth of Lilian's words.
After a few seconds of silence spread through the air, the masked leader spoke: "I just wanted to grab some money, but I didn't expect to grab the famous Wenk family, this is really disrespectful." Okay, let's go, if you want to take Uncle Ben's head, you are welcome to come to me at any time. β
These words stunned Xu Shuo.
(What?) Didn't this guy know that his target was the Wink family? How could it be, wasn't it for the Wink family? Is it a coincidence? No, it doesn't make sense. οΌ
"Mr. Xu, let's go, there's no time." Lilian's voice brought Xu Shuo back to his senses.
Xu Shuo realized that the backpack man and the strange woman had not waited for them at all, and had already walked a short distance forward, he hurriedly took Lilian's hand and quickly followed the two, and did not forget to pretend to be ruthless on the way, and glared back at the masked people.
Lilian's hand was very cold and trembling, which Xu Shuo only noticed after taking her hand.
"Mr. Xu Shuo, what that person said just now is a lie, right?" Lilian asked Xu Shuo in a low voice with an expression that was about to cry.
Sure enough, they were all reckless just now.
Xu Shuo clenched Lilian's hand and said softly, "I... I don't know. β
That's all he could answer.
At this moment, the backpacker man and the strange woman who were walking in front suddenly stoppedβin front of the two horses.
ββ¦β¦ Do you want to ride a horse? Xu Shuo became nervous, now they haven't stepped out of the sight of those people, if the strange woman and the backpacker man leave them on the horse and leave, then all the cover-up will be self-defeating.
The strange woman turned on her horse, then turned back to Lilien and said, "Come up, little girl. β
"Are you going to take us with you?" Lilian asked, somewhat surprised.
"Of course, otherwise how would we know where to find your mercenary? Come on. The strange woman said.
"No, thank you." Lilion said gratefully, then expertly flipped on her horse.
The backpack man said to Xu Shuo: "Hey, since Yuri said so, then you and I can join me." β
"Oh, okay, but ......" Xu Shuo pointed to the oversized backpack behind the backpack man and said, "Your backpack looks like it's quite heavy, can your horse bear such a weight?" β
As if to confirm it to Xu Shuo, the backpack man turned over the horse very lightly, then stroked the horse's neck, and said to Xu Shuo: "Provo, who told you that this is a horse, look carefully." β
After the backpack man said, Xu Shuo noticed that the two "horses" were black and white, each with a short sharp horn on their foreheads, which looked very much like a unicorn in a fairy tale.
The backpack man stroked his mount and said, "Jay, this is a thousand miles beast, this child is Xiaobai, and Yuri is riding that horse is Xiaohei." β
Little white and little black, it's really a simple and easy-to-understand name.
"To go or not to go?" The strange woman, who seemed to be called Yuri, urged.
"Go, go." Xu Shuo climbed onto the Thousand Miles Beast ridden by the backpack man in a rather ugly posture.
"And then, this eldest lady, where is your home?" Yuri asked Lilian.
"Go back to Chewa City first, and I'll show you the way when you get there." Lilian said.
"Understood." Yuri said as he wrapped a hand around Lilian's body from behind, "Sit tight." β
The Backpacker did the same thing as Yuri.
Xu Shuo was uncomfortable with this excessive contact between people of the same sex, so he said, "Are you afraid that I will fall?" No, I won't...... Ahh
Before he finished speaking, the Thousand Miles Beast had already begun to run, and the speed was quite amazing, the oncoming wind blew Xu Shuo's face deformed, and the scenery on both sides was blurred.
When he went out of the city, it took a morning to get to the camp in a carriage, but when he went back, it only took ten minutes to ride the Thousand Miles Beast (Xu Shuo guessed, he didn't know how long it actually was, but he felt that it was only for a while) to reach the gate of Chewa City, and the speed of this Thousand Miles Beast was really amazing.
Before dawn, the gates were closed, which was why Yuri and the backpacker man had stopped.
"Hey, guard, open the door!" Yuri shouted to the guards on the city walls.
The guards on the city wall poked their heads out to look at Xu Shuo and the others, and said, "Who are you?" It's closing time, and doors open at six in the morning. β
"It's going to open sooner or later anyway, hurry up and open the door and let us in first!" Yuri looked unreasonable.
The guard said with some annoyance: "Don't make noise! As I have already said, the door will not open until six o'clock, and I will shout that I will put you all in prison for obstruction of official business! β
"Not open? Don't blame me for that door breaking. Yuri said that he wanted to go down from the Thousand Miles Beast, and he had the strength to break through the city gate.
The backpack man pouted and said, "Provoke, calm down, Yuri, make a big deal and the regiment commander is going to talk about us again." β
"Let me try." Lilian said.
"Huh?" Yuri glanced at Lilien with a strange look and nodded, "Okay, you try." β
Lilien took a deep breath and shouted at the guards on the city wall, "I'm sorry, I'm Liliam Wink, the eldest daughter of the Wink family, and my team was attacked by thieves in the Stone Forest... Ah, sorry Mr. Xu Shuo, no offense! β
Lilian suddenly apologized to Xu Shuo, which made Xu Shuo a little speechless.
"No, I don't care, you can continue......" Xu Shuo said while covering his forehead.
But before Lilian could finish speaking, the guards above had already shouted.
"It's Miss Lilien, hey, open the city gates, you, go and inform the chief that Miss Liliam is back!"
After a while, the gates opened, and four or five guards came out of it, asking about Lilian's health.
Xu Shuo watched from the side with emotion.
(It's a big family, the guards in the city should have received the news when something happened, if the person who had the accident was me, I guess these people might not even remember my name.) οΌ
"Thank you, I'm fine, now I want to hurry home to report my safety, and then I will bring a generous gift to thank you, so I won't accompany you for now." After thanking the guards, Lilian pointed the way and led Yuri and the others back to Wink Manor.
As soon as the old housekeeper saw Lilian, he danced with excitement and burst into tears.
"Miss Lilian! It's really you! God willing, you are safe! It's all because we didn't do a good job, and we hired a bounty hunter who was a thief without investigating it in advance......"
Xu Shuo originally just wanted to be a quiet listener, but he suddenly heard something that made him care.
"Ahem, excuse me, isn't that thief's bounty hunter talking about me?" Xu Shuo pointed to himself and said.
