Chapter 12: The Thief

A few months later, everything was as calm as ever in the Hong Clan.

After Dongfang Zimo was exterminated by a group of disciples led by Hong Ping, the resentment of the Hong family's disciples calmed down.

After a few months of washing, the name Dongfang Zimo gradually disappeared from people's mouths.

However, for them, Elder Hongqi's situation is what people are concerned about.

Due to the fact that he shielded Dongfang Zimo's murder last time, although Elder Hong Qi was not expelled from the Hong Clan, he also faced a year's confinement.

……

In an extremely biased mountain road, a mother and daughter are crying out for help with desperate faces.

"Hahaha! was shouted, no one will appear even if your mother and daughter shout and break their throats! A scar-faced man smirked.

In addition to this man, there were three companions who were dressed differently.

The mother and daughter hugged each other in horror and kept crying.

"You want money, but I've taken out all the valuable things, there is really nothing else, please let us mother and daughter go, woo woo woo~" The woman hid her face and prayed bitterly.

And the girl in her arms beside her was scared and overwhelmed.

The mother and daughter were also really unlucky, and they wanted to take the small road to return to their parents' house as soon as possible, but unfortunately ran into these four groups of thieves.

Originally, they thought that they would be safe just by giving money, but this group of thieves did not intend to let them go.

"Who said you don't have anything of value on you! I think your mother and daughter are worth more than those money! After the scar-faced man carefully observed the mother and daughter, he found that the qualifications of these two people were still good, especially the young woman, who was simply charming.

and the girl, who was also gorgeous, made the four thieves drool.

"Don't you think it's a pity to drag it out and sell it like this, it's better to let me enjoy it first!" The scar-faced man was about to do something to the young woman, but someone grabbed him by the arm.

"Humph! Why don't you go first, why don't I go first? ”

A fat man with a fat face grabbed the arm of the scarred man and said.

The mother and daughter listened to the conversation between the two, and the young girl turned pale with fright and fainted.

After some struggle, the four thieves refused to give in to each other and finally decided to work together.

Just as they were about to start, they saw a sword light suddenly appear in the eyes of these four people, several people were frightened and took a few steps back, and the one who reacted slowly was directly cut off his hands and fell to the ground wailing.

"What people!" The scarred man shouted in anger!

"Humph! Kill your guys! A red-robed man held a long sword and slashed at the scarred man.

"Little bunny! How dare you spoil me and wait for good things! Give it to me! The scar-faced man was furious and immediately called on the people around him to kill him.

"Where are you going? Brother Zimo is not the only one who killed you! A young man as strong as an ox appeared behind them with a large knife.

The two thieves, who had wanted to come to the aid of the scarred man, were shocked to see this, but then angrily stabbed them with their swords.

Without the help of these two people, the scar-faced man only had a trick with the red-robed young man, and his head was cut off by the young man.

And the stout young man quickly killed one of the thieves, and the other thief saw that the situation was not good, and quickly abandoned his sword and fled.

But before the thief could go far, a man in a brocade robe and jade belt appeared at some point and directly blocked his way.

The red-robed young man and the sturdy young man also slowly surrounded them.

When the thief saw that he could not escape, his eyes rolled and he knelt directly on the ground and begged for mercy.

"A few heroes spare their lives, these three people forced me, I really don't want to be with them, please go around my dog's life!" The thief cried out aggrieved.

Hearing this, the three of them were slightly stunned, and the thief man saw this opportunity, suddenly took out a short sword from his ankle, and rushed towards the man in brocade and jade robe in front of him.

"Brother Yunxiao, be careful!" The companion who was with the man hurriedly reminded.

"Humph! It's just a brute's ear! When the man in brocade and jade belt heard this, he said indifferently.

I saw that he quickly drew his sword out of its sheath, and with a sudden wave of his hand, he directly cut the thief's throat.

The thief didn't expect that this person would shoot his sword so fast that he would die in agony when he saw only an afterimage.

When the two young men saw this, they just looked at each other and smiled.

"By the way, there's one more person left untreated." The red-robed young man looked back and said.

"I'll leave this person to me!" The sturdy young man grinned with a big knife on his shoulder.

When the thief, who had broken his hands at first, heard this, he begged for mercy with fear on his face, but he was still killed by the sturdy young man.

After killing the four thieves, the three gathered together.

"Thank you three heroes for your help, if there were no three, our mother and daughter might have ruined their innocence today." After the young woman gave a salute, she wept and thanked her.

The girl also came to her senses at this time, and hurried over to thank her.

When the red-robed young man heard this, he saw that this girl was beautiful and moving, and he unconsciously took a few more looks.

The girl also noticed the gaze of the red-robed young man, and hid behind the young woman a little shyly.

"Fortunately, the three of us happened to pass by here, which is also a blessing." The red-robed young man retracted his gaze with some reluctance.

"Concubine Su Min, this is the little girl Su Qin, originally planned to take refuge in her mother's family, but I didn't expect to meet a thief on the way, poor my mother and daughter have been dependent on each other for a long time, if it weren't for the three heroes, I don't know what to do." The young woman noticed the girl's strange appearance and glanced at the red-robed young man, but when she said the back, she wept and wiped the corners of her eyes, which were already crying.

Although the girl named Su Qin was also frightened, she still comforted the young woman on the side.

"In Xia Dongfang Zimo, this is Brother Yunxiao, and this one is Brother Tang Wuxian. What happened to my wife made me feel heartbroken. "This red-robed young man is Dongfang Zimo who disappeared a few months ago, and the brocade-clothed jade belt and the sturdy young man are his close friends.

"Ma'am, these things should be your entanglement, right?" A burden that the sturdy young man found out of nowhere.

"It's my mother and daughter's entanglement, thank you to this little hero." The young woman took the coil and whispered softly.

The sturdy young man scratched his head a little shyly and giggled, making the girl on the side laugh unconsciously.

The young woman glared at the girl with a frown, and the girl who realized that she was out of shape hurriedly covered her mouth and stopped laughing.

Dongfang Zimo and the man in brocade and jade belt also laughed.

"It's better to do this, the three of us are also idle, so it's better to escort Mrs. to the safety of the town before leaving." The man in brocade and jade said gently.

"In this way, the concubine is grateful to the three little heroes." The young woman was still a little worried, but after hearing this, she agreed happily.

After packing up a little, the five of them headed for a nearby town.
