Chapter 52: Ambush
The sun was scorching, and the carriage procession slowly moved along the wide avenue.
"Ah Xian."
Scarlett opened the curtain and got into Ye Xian's carriage, seeing that Ye Xian was holding a copy of "Detailed Explanation of the Fundamentals of Martial Arts" and reading it with relish, she pursed her lips and quickly pulled out the book in Ye Xian's hand.
"What's wrong? Quarreled with Morris again? Ye Xian regretfully withdrew his gaze from the book and smiled helplessly.
Morris is Luna's nephew and attends Winchester College with Scarlett.
The two have a good relationship, but because of their similar personalities, the two will quarrel from time to time, and then they will have their own winners and losers.
And this time Scarlett came to Ye Xian to complain, obviously falling into disadvantage in this quarrel.
"You don't know how hateful that guy is Morris, isn't it just that when I went to the Forest of the Moon, I was lucky enough to meet a fifth-level demonic beast, and he didn't kill him, he hung it in his mouth every day to show off, and he was angry with me!
It's just a fifth-level demonic beast, what's the big deal, hmph, I'll be able to kill a fifth-level demonic beast later! ”
Ye Xian echoed: "Yes, yes, you can definitely do it." ”
"Ah Xian, you are so perfunctory, I am not your best friend anymore!"
Scarlett looked at Ye Xian with teary eyes, and her red mouth pursed even higher.
Ye Xian's scalp was numb, and he racked his brains to make people happy, and his eyes, which were originally a little sore because he had been reading for too long, gradually returned to normal.
Scarlett saw that Ye Xian's eyes were not so red, so she handed her the book and said seriously: "Ah Xian, learning is also about the combination of work and rest, don't work so hard." ”
"I know, I just think this book is quite interesting, and it won't be in the future."
Ye Xian did what he said, and after taking the book, he didn't look through it, and put it aside.
Scarlett blinked in surprise when she heard this.
"Detailed Explanation of the Basics of Martial Arts" is quite famous in the Lingwu Continent, and it is almost a martial arts introductory enlightenment book.
She thought about it, maybe Ah Xian's family had a better martial arts explanation book, so it didn't include this book, and this situation was normal.
So, she decisively put this thought behind her, and pulled Ye Xian to speak for a while.
When the convoy stopped to rest, she left Ye Xian's carriage and ran to chat with her father Andrew.
Yes, because Andrew was worried about their safety, he escorted them on the road with the guards of his home, and only after seeing them enter Winchester College did Andrew leave with confidence.
Both Andrew and Scarlett thought that the Selwyn family would dispel the idea of attacking them when they saw Andrew accompanying them, but the accident still happened.
It was on the seventh day of their departure, less than three days from the royal city.
Andrew was sitting on the wheel of the car to introduce Ye Xian to the back car, "After passing through the forest in front, we will arrive at Jinricheng, there is a fruit wine in Jinricheng, which is brewed with a special secret recipe, and it tastes good, we can buy more when the time comes, and stay on the road to drink." ”
Ye Xian was about to answer, his eyebrows suddenly raised, he jumped out of the carriage, and shouted urgently: "Stop!" ”
There was a hint of vindictiveness in her voice, and the wildebeest pulling the cart immediately trembled in fright, and did not dare to move again.
"Why did the carriage stop suddenly, what happened?"
Both Scarlett and Morris stepped out of their carriages and probed forward for unknown reasons.
Andrew was originally sitting on the wheel of the carriage, but after hearing Ye Xian's words at this time, he also jumped out of the carriage and strode to Ye Xian's side, with a solemn expression, "What did you find?" ”
After getting along for a while, even if Andrew doesn't know Ye Xian very well, he also knows that she is someone who doesn't joke easily.
Now that the carriage has suddenly stopped, there must have been some unexpected discovery.
"Someone is ambushing us in front." Ye Xian paused for a moment and then added, "There are more than twenty people, who are from the Selwyn family. ”
"It's them! Damn crumb! ”
Andrew clenched his fists and cursed through gritted teeth, but he didn't doubt what Ye Xian said.
Raising his right arm, he made a gesture, and the guards who followed behind immediately took out their respective weapons and surrounded Scarlett and Maurice in the middle, looking around with blazing eyes.
Scarlett and Morris realized that something had happened ahead, and they also took out their weapons with a resolute face.
A thin layer of sweat appeared on everyone's cheeks under the hot sun, and an anxious breath spread through the ranks, and even the panicked wildebeest flicked its hooves restlessly.
Ye Xian could feel the suspicious gaze coming from behind, but the Howard family rules were strict, and no one dared to question Andrew's decision.
Ye Xian didn't explain, did she tell the guards that she used her spiritual power to see the people of the Selwyn family ambushing in the forest ahead, wouldn't that reveal her identity as a spirit master.
And she believed that the people of the Selwyn family would soon lose their breath and start to act, after all, the other party still had a killer weapon, and that killer man's temper didn't seem to be very good.
Sure enough, just as Ye Xian expected, Eddie, who was lying in ambush in the forest, finally lost his patience and jumped down from the tree.
As he walked out of the forest, he grumbled impatiently: "Patriarch Frank, I said a long time ago that you don't need an ambush to solve them, you just don't believe me, my time is precious!" ”
Frank could only hurriedly bring his clan to explain: "Lord Eddie, of course I believe in your ability, I just thought that this would reduce some unnecessary trouble. ”
"It's a big deal." Eddie raised his chin proudly, "Wait a while, I'll be responsible for dragging that sixth-level great martial artist, and you will be responsible for dealing with the rest of the people, and after you have dealt with them, you will come and help me." ”
"Okay, we'll do what you tell us."
Frank scolded Eddie in his heart, but he couldn't help but smile.
Eddie was the only fourth-level spirit master he could come into contact with, and he would never offend the other party unless he had to.
What's more, he now has to rely on Eddie to solve the problems of the Howard family and Ye Xian, and he doesn't dare to go against the other party's wishes.
As a result, he could only work with Eddie to completely expose his figure to the front of the convoy.
"Frank! It's really you, what do you want to do! ”
When Andrew saw Frank, the bruises on his forehead bulged and his face was full of hatred.
"Andrew, it's all this far, can't you still guess what I want to do?"
Frank's cold gaze stabbed straight at Ye Xian, "I didn't expect that we would meet so soon." ”
"Honestly, it's really ...... It's not a surprise at all. ”
Ye Xian smiled slightly.
"Your meanness is no different from what I speculated."
Frank's face turned pale.
