It was already dark, and the biting night wind was whining, blowing all over the mountain and the trees were constantly swaying there, making the already cold mountain even more cold.

Long Jinghai and his entourage of more than a dozen people shrank and hid in the depression composed of several mountain rocks, their faces were blue from the cold, and their nostrils were sealed with snot, looking so embarrassed.

But even so, a few people didn't even dare to light a bonfire to keep warm at this time, they were really afraid that this fire would attract a large number of people who were chasing and searching behind.

It's not that they're worrying about it, it's true.

Because not long ago, they had been rounded up by a group of Ba people, if it weren't for a few henchmen of the Long family who fought with their lives and finally exchanged their lives for their lives, I am afraid that their party would have fallen into the hands of the other party and would have been escorted back to Kuizhou City.

With this lesson, the rest of these people are more cautious, that is, they deliberately keep their voices low in their communication with each other, and under the cover of the mountain wind, only they can hear clearly.

"After climbing this mountain and further west, there is the territory of the flat mountain department, and then we will be safe for the time being." Long Kuo said in a deep voice.

The few people around him didn't react much, only the sound of gurgling teeth fighting kept sounding, and then nodded slightly: "What next?" ”

"Go to Qianzhou, as long as we can reach Qianzhou safely, find the Long family's main sect, and borrow their strength, we will definitely be able to come back and avenge our relatives!" Long Jinghai said in a hoarse voice, but he didn't have much confidence when he heard this.

There is no way, he Long Jinghai is not the real ruler of the family after all, and he has no in-depth contact with the Qianzhou Long family, and he doesn't know the exact attitude of the other party. Now he said this, just to persuade the warriors of several other clans around him to continue to work hard to protect themselves.

Long Kuo also nodded in agreement: "Now there is only one way to go." I really didn't expect that our Kuizhou would be broken like this, the dog emperor...... If we had known he was so cunning, we should have killed him early on......"

Long Jinghai smiled bitterly, yes, who would have thought that the original perfect plan would suddenly turn straight down?

Obviously, he has arranged everything properly, and even managed to kill the Dog Emperor first with the hands of the Tang Sect, and then remove Long Chengbang and his son, and then he can hold the power of the Long family in his own hands.

And in the name of avenging the patriarch, he led Kuizhou and his subordinate departments to take the initiative to attack and kill the imperial court soldiers and horses by surprise.

He even planned that at that time, he could completely use the divisive strategy to pull the forces of the Huayang Mu clan, the Banzhou Yang clan and other forces that had recently surrendered to the imperial court to his side - after all, the Long family and them are the same clan, and the imperial court is just a group of Han people with ulterior motives, plus as soon as the emperor dies, they will naturally collapse internally!

But I didn't expect that the successive changes caught him off guard, and Kuizhou, who thought it was foolproof, was captured by the imperial army.

However, he did not give up hope, for so many years, he has also continued to endure it, and he has not stepped from a side disciple with little power to a position that can influence the patriarch today?

It's a big deal that in another ten or twenty years, he can still rise in the Qianlong family in Qianzhou, and when the time comes, Kuizhou will still be in his bag......

Just when he was secretly ruthless and determined to start again, suddenly a wind came from his side.

Long Jinghai subconsciously wanted to dodge, but his body was frozen and stiffened, and he couldn't make this simple action, only to feel a pain in his waist, and the person had fallen sideways, and hit the mountain rock over there, letting out a muffled snort.

The same scene also appeared in Long Kuo.

His reaction was quicker, and he hurriedly rolled on the ground, dodging the blow from behind, but the man also landed on the rock, and just as he was about to rise again, a knife had already put on his neck, so that he did not dare to move again.

It was only then that the two of them saw clearly that it was the guards who had fled all the way to them who had suddenly attacked them.

At this time, the eyes of these most loyal Long family warriors were full of killing intent, except for the two knives on the necks of Long Jinghai and Long Kuo, the other three had already turned around quickly, and without hesitation, they stabbed the knives into the hearts of the other guards who had not yet recovered from the shock.

It was too cold and the people were too tired, which caused these guards to not be able to give a decent reaction after suddenly encountering the mutation, and finally they could only stare and fall down, dying.

"You ......"

It was only at this time that the two people who were restrained shouted in a low voice, but their hearts had sunk to the bottom.

"Two adults, we don't have a choice, we don't want to die on the road like this, and we don't want to affect our families!"

The warrior who took the lead continued to put the knife across Long Jinghai's neck and said in a low voice, "Now only by taking you down and sending you back to Kuizhou can we ensure our safety." As long as you cooperate obediently, we will not hurt you, otherwise, we will have to take your heads back and ask for a reward. ”

Although they had already guessed the other party's intentions, after listening to his words, the two of them were truly desperate.

Long Kuo's hand let go and threw the saber he was carrying on the ground, which was already the case, and he could only accept it.

Who allowed himself to be a traitor before? Now that it has ended up like this, it can be regarded as retribution.

Long Jinghai was still making the last struggle, and said with difficulty: "I have always been kind to you, you have figured it out, go to Qianzhou with me, and you can still have a rich and noble, but if you go back to Kuizhou now, maybe you will still be unable to escape death...... Do you still dare to believe the words of the Han people? ”

Although a trace of entanglement flashed on the faces of the five betrayers, they immediately gritted their teeth: "We can't get to Qianzhou, it won't take a few days, even if the Han people can't find us, we may freeze to death and starve to death on this mountain."

"Instead of dying with you, it's better to hand you over in exchange for some benefits!"

As he spoke, the knife around his neck pressed down a few more points: "Get up, go out with us, and light the torch!" ”

The latter sentence is a companion who greets and wants to use the light of fire to attract possible trackers nearby, and then it's all over.

One of them hurriedly agreed, and with a shudder, he took two flints from his bosom and struck them with a clatter.

In this familiar voice, Long Jinghai and Long Kuo closed their eyes in despair, their path had been exhausted, and there was no possibility of escape......

Just when the two of them were desperate and had accepted their fate, the wind suddenly became sharp, and immediately, the clicking sound suddenly stopped, followed by a series of screams around them.

It was only as soon as this scream came out that it was quickly cut off and dissipated in the bitter cold wind......
