Chapter 43: For the sake of secrecy
The group sat in the carriage silently, Qiao Zi was healing Mu Xiaofeng's injuries, just now Mu Xiaofeng was beaten by Mo Huai and was injured. The rest of the people didn't say much, just looked at the scenery on the side of the road in confusion.
After walking for about half a day, by noon, the group had entered a mountainous area. The name of this mountain range is the King's Mountain, which is the natural barrier of the king's capital, and you can see a large river over the King's Mountain, which leads north to Luohai City to the sea. Generally speaking, if the armies of the two devil clans want to attack, Huguan City and Luohai City are the places that must be passed.
The King's Mountain Range is a place where robbers haunt frequently, after all, it is necessary to pass through the King's Mountain Range to go to the king's capital from the northeast, and there are many rich and noble people who go to the king's capital, which will inevitably make the robbers red-eyed.
However, this group of people seemed to be walking safely in Hutou Ridge, and there was no trace of the robbers in sight. This well-informed Yun Jie also felt strange, usually when she went to the capital, at least dozens of escorts would be slightly safer. This time, there are only a dozen of them, and nine of them can only be regarded as children, maybe the forces of the six major families have already cleaned up the little thieves on this road.
But in fact, the six major families did not make such a big effort to do these things, and there were always some deadly thieves who crashed into the muzzle of the gun.
It didn't take long for the warrior envoy who was walking in front to suddenly stop and raise his hand, signaling the carriage to stop. As soon as the carriage stopped, Mu Xiaofeng and the others felt that something was wrong.
Suddenly, a hearty laugh came from the woods: "Hahaha, it's not a loss to be from the Platinum Brotherhood, the trap in front of you really can't hide from your eyes." ”
Fifty or sixty people poured out of the woods, and surrounded the carriages. The laughing leader stepped out of the crowd and took the lead. The leader was very tall, muscular like a rock, with a red mustache on his face, and a heavy sword in his hand.
The leader continued to address them: "Although the Platinum Brotherhood is very powerful, there is always a time when their things are robbed. Hand over all the valuable things on your body, or my sword will eat meat. ”
The Platinum Brotherhood is the largest mercenary association in the world, and they accept any mission regardless of race. The Platinum Brotherhood is almost a separate kingdom, but their territory is nothing more than a building.
The monogram of the Platinum Brotherhood is two colliding fists, and the Platinum Brotherhood logo is on the equipment of the six families and on the carriage. It's just that Mu Xiaofeng and they don't know what this mark means.
At this time, the Theo envoy standing at the front of the carriage spoke, this Theo envoy was a woman in her twenties, her slender figure and outstanding face attracted the attention of all the thieves, and her gentle voice also made the robber leader slightly intoxicated.
Theo's messenger said, "My dear chief, my name is Bella. We were just in charge of sending a few children to the central part of the country, and we didn't have any goods or money with us. "Bella was just the Theo name, she didn't say her last name.
The leader was fascinated by Theobera's voice, and then said with a grin, "Hehe, it doesn't matter if you don't have money, as long as Miss Bella comes home with me and serves me well, it's okay." The leader smiled wickedly and stared straight at Theobela.
Theobera was enraged by the robber leader's teasing words, and her face showed a hint of murder, and then she raised her staff and pointed it directly at the bandit leader, the book in her hand kept flipping, and suddenly the robber leader's expression froze, and he felt that he couldn't move.
Because Theobera had used space magic to bind the bandit leader. Theobella yelled fiercely, "If you don't get out of here, I'll let your head move now." Theobela's murderous aura frightened the bandit leader so much that his pants were wet, and he trembled and nodded his head in agreement.
Suddenly, dozens of arrows burst out of the woods, heading straight for Theobela. Seeing this dark arrow coming, Theobera hurriedly created a Yuan Qi shield in front of her to block the arrows in front of her, and the arrows behind her were all stopped by the Chen family's envoy with a silver spear.
Theobera was distracted, and let the bandit leader untie him, and the bandit leader immediately roared angrily: "Rush up to me, I want that little girl to taste my power." ”
With that, the dozens of robbers rushed up and rushed directly to the carriage. However, where are these little minions the opponents of the six major families, they will be knocked down in a wave.
However, at this time, there was another wave of dark arrows in the woods, and this time the dark arrow cut through the arm of Mo Huai. Compared with the people of several other families, Mo Huai Qiu is the one who relies on the family stunts and is the easiest to expose his identity, so Mo Huai Qiu has always parried the attacks of these little thieves at will before.
However, this time, Mo Huai was injured by this thief hiding in the woods, and naturally he was ten thousand unhappy in his heart. This ink vengeance poured vitality into the iron box in his hand, and the iron box immediately glowed and then transformed into dozens of iron birds and flew into the woods, wanting to destroy all the thieves hiding in the woods.
When Theobella saw that Mo had released his iron bird, she blamed him and said, "Mo is crazy, are you crazy?" Did you know that doing so can easily reveal our identities? ”
Theobella was obviously unhappy with Mo's vendetta approach, after all, the other stunts of the others were still not easy to detect, and they could easily repel these thieves even without using the family skills.
Mo Huai hated and sneered: "Hmph! Afraid of what? As long as we kill all these thieves and leave no one behind, won't it be done? ”
On the one hand, Mo Huai's killing at this time was to keep the secrets of the six major families, but in fact, it was more about venting the anger in his heart, after all, he had always been dissatisfied with Mu Xiaofeng in the car, and he wanted to solve Mu Xiaofeng with his own hands.
Theobera couldn't help frowning slightly when she heard Mo Huai say this, and then sighed. She knew that there was no way to stop Mo Huai from killing at this time, although she just wanted to teach these thieves some lessons, killing was always a bad thing, and it would make Theobella dream of those dead souls at night.
Mo Huai Qiu is killing on a large scale, where are these thieves the opponents of Mo Huai Qiu's mechanical army, and the flesh and blood are blurred one by one by all pecked by the iron birds. These thieves were beaten and scattered by the mechanical army, but Mo Huai did not give up, and commanded his iron bird to continue to pursue those thieves.
Mu Xiaofeng and his party in the carriage were speechless in surprise when they saw this scene, and Mu Xiaofeng shouted at Mo Huai Qiu outside the carriage: "Stop, they already know that they are not your opponents, let them go." ”
Mo Huaiqiu sneered, ignored Mu Xiaofeng, and continued to command his iron bird to slaughter the thieves. At this time, the leader of the robbers was so frightened that he was speechless when he saw this scene in front of him. He felt that if he couldn't fight with others before, he could still escape back to his cottage with his brothers, but this time it seemed that they couldn't escape.
I saw that this Mo Huai Qiu pointed at the leader of the hairy thieves, and then a few iron birds flew over, directly drilling the body of the robber leader out of a few holes, and it didn't take long for these robbers to be wiped out by Mo Huai Qiu, and there was really no one left alive.
Several other people from the six major families did not speak, expressing their acquiescence to Mo's vengeance, but these were completely incomprehensible things to Mu Xiaofeng.
After dealing with the bandits, the group was back on the road, but the woods behind them were already stained blood-red and left with stumps. Seeing this, Qiao Zi was very angry, and shouted to the envoys of the six major families outside the carriage: "You guys are going too far, even if you are a robber, there is no need to do such a desperate thing, just teach them a lesson and let them leave." ”
At this moment, a figure rushed into the carriage, this person was a thin man, his deep sunken eyes revealed a trace of terror, this person was the messenger of the Dead Whispering Clan.
The messenger of the Dead Whisper stepped into the carriage to comfort the people who had just witnessed a killing, and said, "Hello, I am Dead Whisper. You guys calm down and listen to me first, I also know that we have just done some, but the moment Mo Huai released his iron bird, it was doomed that these thieves could not have a living mouth, and they could only blame their bad luck and provoke the people of the Mo family. ”
Mu Xiaofeng and the others settled down a little, and then listened carefully to the narration of this dead word.
The people of the six major families have done a lot of work to disguise their identities, except for the six major family clansmen who are embedded in various countries, the Platinum Brotherhood can be said to be the largest organization among the six major families. In other words, the Platinum Brotherhood is actually controlled by the six major families, and only the top few people in the Platinum Brotherhood know about this fact, and the others are unaware of the existence of the six families.
The clansmen of the six major families hid their surnames and formed a mission team to join the Platinum Brotherhood, which was to obtain additional income for the six families. The second is to train the clansmen of the six major families.
What's even more subtle is that the squads of all the six major families can't be too good or too incompetent. With the exception of a few who were going to take over the leadership of the Platinum Brotherhood, all of their teams were kept average, and sometimes they deliberately failed in their missions.
Although these explanations were reasonable in the eyes of the six major families, in Mu Xiaofeng's heart, he felt that these people hiding in the dark were really filthy.
