Chapter Eighty-Nine: The Heng Clan
Liu Ming understood what Cheng Yuxi meant almost instantly, his eyes widened in shock, and then said, "Miss Cheng! Are youβare you really going to do this? β
"There's no other way now, Mr. Liu." Cheng Yuxi raised his eyes and looked at the pile of drunken thieves in the distance, and said, "Now is the best time, they have all gone to drink, and they have no time to care about us." If I'm not mistaken, at this time, that group of people happens to be on the path next to this mountain, and now is our only chance, I can't help but seize it! β
Liu Ming still seemed to be a little hesitant, and he said in a low voice: "Otherwise, why don't you let me go?" β
Cheng Yuxi smiled helplessly: "Mr. Liu, you can't get through the gap in the railing next to you at all, and most of the people who can get through it are us women and children, you don't have to worry, I told you before, I'm not a weak woman." You just have to wait here for me to save you. β
Cheng Yuxi never does things that she is not sure of, since she said it, it means that it can be done.
After looking at her sincere gaze and words, Liu Ming gritted his teeth, decided to believe her, nodded and said, "Okay! Thank you for your hard work over there, Miss Cheng! If we can really survive this time, you will be the lifesaver of my Liu family! β
"Let's talk about that later." After Cheng Yuxi dropped this sentence, he took advantage of the night to come to the edge of the crowd.
These bandits should not have imagined that there would be a person like Cheng Yuxi who is bold and not afraid of death, so the defense outside is not very strict, plus most of these bandits have drunk, and at this moment they are holding their own knives and sleeping on the watchtower.
Cheng Yuxi's body was already very petite, and after getting out of the gap in the railing, she immediately stuffed a pill into her mouth, which she refined to reduce fire, but she accidentally discovered a new function of mine, that is, after eating this pill, she can see a little more clearly in a darker place.
Therefore, when Cheng Yuxi swallowed this pill, he walked directly to the darkest place, followed a very inconspicuous path, and quietly touched the mountain without anyone noticing.
Because Cheng Yuxi was not particularly flustered when she was taken up by those bandits, she still barely remembered some roads, she didn't dare to stop at all, and kept running forward desperately.
The branch in front of her hung Cheng Yuxi's sleeve, so she directly tore off her entire sleeve, and sometimes accidentally stepped on some puddles, Cheng Yuxi ran forward as if she didn't feel it.
Finally, her vision gradually broadened, and the environment in front of her became familiar little by little, about half a pillar of incense, Cheng Yuxi passed through a bush, and ran directly to the road!
She looked at the flat ground under her feet, and when she looked up, she saw a sparkling light not far away, which should be hung on the front of their cars for lighting when the convoy walked at night!
Cheng Yuxi gritted his teeth and immediately cheered up and rushed over!
Perhaps it was her luck that when she suddenly came out of the middle of the road, the man on the horse at the head reacted very quickly and immediately reined in his horse.
Cheng Yuxi was already out of breath from exhaustion, she was covered with wounds all over her body, she looked very tired, her legs were weak, if it weren't for the fact that there was still a breath in her heart, she would have been lying on the ground on Haizi Street by now.
The man was also startled when he saw a person suddenly rushing out in front of him, he quickly drew his sword and aimed it at Cheng Yuxi, and then said coldly: "What person! β
After Cheng Yuxi took a few breaths, he said, "I am...... Escape from the hands of the bandits! β
After hearing Cheng Yuxi's words, the man first froze, and then he approached Cheng Yuxi with the torch in his hand, and when he saw clearly that she was indeed a weak woman covered in scars, he immediately jumped off the horse and shouted at the person behind him: "Hurry up!" Bring the water! Inform Mr. Heng, quick! β
About half an hour later, Cheng Yuxi sat on a tall horse, and with her was a man who was called Mr. Heng.
The man sat in the carriage in the middle of the convoy, and after hearing the commotion in front of him, he immediately jumped out of the car, asked Cheng Yuxi about the ins and outs of the whole matter, and immediately led a team of people to take her back to kill her!
"Miss Cheng, are you sure this is the way?" The man who was called Mr. Heng asked in a low voice.
Cheng Yuxi nodded, and then said: "It's this road, I can see the car prints on this road!" β
Mr. Heng frowned suspiciously, as if he didn't quite understand how she could see the car prints on the road in such a dark day? But when he ran away with people for about a quarter of an hour, he saw a fire flashing on the other side of the mountain from a distance, and only then did he confirm that the road led by Cheng Yuxi was actually right!
"Everybody put the horses here, let's not startle the snakes, let's all walk over!" As soon as Mr. Heng gave the order, the people behind got off the horse one after another, tied their horse ropes to the side and the trunk, and then followed behind Mr. Heng and Cheng Yuxi, and quietly touched the mountain.
Cheng Yuxi led them to walk quietly in the dark grass, and then said in a low voice: "Further ahead is the watchtower, but the person on the tower seems to have fallen asleep after drinking, we can get rid of him first!" β
Mr. Heng nodded seriously, he took a few steps ahead, and then he saw the man who was hanging on the railing and sleeping, he gestured to the person behind him, and then the man behind him nodded, clenched the sword in his hand, tapped the ground with his toes, and ran to the top of the watchtower quickly!
Cheng Yuxi was a little stunned, would someone in the next three days have such an ability? But the group of people just now, called this man Mr. Heng......
She frowned suspiciously, should it be an illusion? There are so many people with the surname Heng in this world, and they are not necessarily the only ones!
The man who jumped to the top of the watchtower bent down, and after looking at the scenery inside the cottage, he turned around and knocked the sleeping thief unconscious with the hilt of his sword, and then threw it from above.
Immediately afterwards, the man also jumped down, he came to Mr. Heng, and said in a low voice: "Sir, I have already seen it, there is only a team of patrolling bandits in the cottage, and the rest of the people are all gathered in the southeast direction to drink and eat, if they rush in now, they should not have time to react!" β
'Mr. Heng' smiled coldly and said, "Then let's take advantage of it now, and kill it!" If you don't kill enough twenty people, you will consciously come to me to receive the punishment! β
"Yes!" The group whispered.
Immediately afterwards, Cheng Yuxi followed Mr. Heng and rushed directly into the cottage, and sure enough, just as the man said before, these people were drunk and didn't react at all, and the patrol team was killed without leaving a piece of armor!
"Miss Cheng! You first bring two people over to save your companions, and then wait for us at the door of the cottage, when we have eliminated these evil bandits, and then go and fight you! Mr. Heng was very calm, and after he pointed to two people and asked them to protect Cheng Yuxi and those merchants, he rushed forward with his sword!
Cheng Yuxi didn't dare to delay at all, she hurriedly took the two people to find the horse shed in the corner of the cottage, cut the ropes on all the people's wrists, and then took them to the door of the cottage quickly.
Listening to the shouts coming from inside the cottage, Cheng Yuxi was a little worried, so he asked one of them and said, "There are a lot of them, are you really not in danger?" β
After the man heard Cheng Yuxi's words, he smiled, and then said: "Please rest assured, Mr. Heng is very powerful, it is impossible for those people to get close to him, and our other companions are also very powerful, if you can't even deal with these stragglers, then it is better to kill yourself directly!" β
His tone was firm, revealing an inexplicable confidence.
Cheng Yuxi was silent for a while, and finally decided to suppress the doubts in his heart, clasped his hands into fists, bowed his head to the man gratefully, and said, "In short, thank you for saving your lives today!" β
"Hahaha, Miss Cheng, you are really too polite. You yourself were able to escape, but you still came to us for other people, and Miss Cheng's courage also made us admire it very much! β
The man was very generous, and the way he spoke was very comfortable.
"Yes, Miss Cheng, you are really amazing...... Liu Ming didn't expect Cheng Yuxi's strategy to really succeed, and he felt that his hands were trembling when he escaped death.
Looking at Cheng Yuxi's gaze, it was hot and pious.
Noticing Liu Ming, Cheng Yuxi shook his head modestly, "It's just luck." β
"Luck and strength go hand in hand."
Mr. Heng smiled slightly.
This smile made Cheng Yuxi a little weird, but the current situation did not allow her to be careful, so she could only change the topic stiffly: "It's a pity, Mr. Liu's goods-"
"Miss Cheng, don't worry." The man chuckled: "They will definitely not have time to deal with these goods now, we will help you find them later, you can rest assured!" β
Hearing this, Liu Ming and Cheng Yuxi breathed a sigh of relief, and finally completely relieved themselves.
After about a stick of incense, the house gradually quieted down, and just when everyone was silently waiting for the time to leave, there was a sudden 'boom' in the sky, and a small spark bloomed.
