Chapter 109: Old Things

Wang Ye and Zhou Xingyu escorted the team all the way, what they saw along the way, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is earth-shaking, the residents along the road who were originally in full swing and busy building houses and reclaiming fields are already difficult to see, more are ordinary people who carry packages, drag their families with their mouths, and leave with the last belongings, leaving behind houses that have been half-built or have just broken ground.

Looking at the scene in front of them, several people finally understood the reason why the Li family was evacuating Qingtan City and planning to go to Bazhou for development. With so many people leaving, it won't be long before Qingtan City becomes an empty city.

If the money is gone, it can be earned again, but if the people are gone, who will plant their land? Who is the workshop sold to?

It's not that the Li family wants to give up their ancestral business, and they are scavenging in Bazhou, where they are unfamiliar with life, but there is only one way to die.

Li Mubai lifted the car window and opened the people who were walking on both sides of the official road, their faces were blank, and an incomparably desolate feeling rose in his heart.

The Li family, which has been entrenched in Qingtan City for hundreds of years, is over, and all this happened so suddenly that people were caught off guard.

What Qingtan Li family, what first family, what Li Bancheng, in front of that unknown force looks so unbearable.

"Brother Li, what do you want?" Looking at Li Mubai, who was stunned, Wang Ye gently clamped the horse's belly, came to the carriage, and asked curiously.

Looking at Wang Ye riding on a horse outside the car window, he pulled the corners of his mouth, revealing a reluctant smile, Li Mubai opened his mouth and replied: "It's nothing, it's just a little unwilling." Speaking of this, Li Mubai looked at Qingtan City, which was getting farther and farther behind him, like a soybean, and muttered: "I don't know if I can come back again after this farewell?" ”

Wang Ye thought for a moment and replied, "If the trouble in the mountains can be completely solved, it is still very simple for the Li family to come back. ”

Before Xuanzhou experienced a great drought, Qingtan City because of its unique geographical advantages, attracted a large number of displaced people to settle nearby, if according to the previous trend, everything went well, a hundred years later, it will become a big city with Jinyang City is almost the same, become the central part of the state of commerce and trade center.

It's a pity that people are not as good as heaven, the world changes so fast, in just a few months, Qingtan City has completely changed, and the situation has taken a sharp turn.

The treasure land that made people have to settle in with their heads sharpened has become a daunting death place in the blink of an eye.

However, if the hidden dangers of Niujiao Mountain can really be solved, it is possible for Qingtan City to rise again, after all, the geographical advantages here are very great.

"Brother Wang, don't comfort me, if it can really be solved, the court has sent so many people to solve it before, and I will definitely not see things develop to this point." Li Mubai smiled self-deprecatingly.

Qingtan City is finished, and it may affect the food supply of the entire Xuanzhou, after all, it is an important grain production area and fish production area.

It is impossible for the imperial court not to know this, but in the end, it still did not take action to completely solve the trouble, except for being powerless, Li Mubai could not think of other possibilities.

But these have nothing to do with him in the future, after all, the Li family is also leaving.

"Actually, Brother Li doesn't have to be so pessimistic, if you can't solve it now, it doesn't mean that it can't be solved in the future, we might as well wait and see." Zhou Xingyu didn't know when he had come to the two of them, he glanced at the direction of Niujiao Mountain, and said meaningfully.

He and Wang Ye may not be worth mentioning in front of each other now, but what about in the future?

With the assistance of the Chaos Spirit Platform, coupled with Aoki Jue's ability to restrain these strange things, Zhou Xingyu believed that he would be able to solve this trouble sooner or later. He knew very well that as long as he didn't have problems, the rise of himself and Wang Ye was inevitable, just take a little more time.

If they can't beat the other party, they will be promoted to Zhan Qian, if Zhan Qian still can't beat, they will strive to go further, the martial arts are lofty, Zhou Xingyu doesn't believe that it is really a dead end after Zhan Qian.

Even if it's really a dead end, it's a big deal to open a mountain and build a bridge when you meet water.

You must know that there is no road in the world, and when there are more people walking, there is a road.

There is no way ahead, so they will be the ones who open the way!

"Yes, we are still young, who can say for sure what will be achieved in the future?" Wang Ye nodded, agreed with Zhou Xingyu's statement, turned his head to Li Mubai and said, "Brother Li, don't be discouraged, since you want to come back, why don't you take it as a goal, and when you have the ability, you can come back." In retrospect, what seems to be an insurmountable difficulty today is actually the same thing. All we have to do now is to take every step of the way. ”

After listening to the persuasion of the two, Li Mubai's mood improved a lot, and the depression on his face began to dissipate.

The convoy went all the way, starting from dawn, and unconsciously came to dusk, Wang Ye and Zhou Xingyu looked at the sky, and finally chose a high ground near the water to rest temporarily.

After all, other people are different from them, whether it is energy or physical strength, they are more than a notch, and the two of them can support the overnight journey, but these people of the Li family can't support it.

"Remember to take out the leather from the car and lay it on the floor when it is clean. And the carriages were all placed on the periphery for me, and the horses were to rest and feed them......"

In his ears was the shouting of the old servants of the Li family, Wang Ye, Zhou Xingyu and Li Mubai sat by the fire, although it was already spring, but because of the cold of spring, the temperature was still quite low at night, and lighting a fire could not only boil water for cooking, but also warm up and drive away wild beasts.

Zhou Xingyu was far away from the fire, leaning on the wheel of a vehicle that had no horses, his eyes slightly closed, as if he was asleep.

Wang Ye and Li Mubai were chatting with each other.

Soon it was completely dark.

"Young master, it has been arranged, and it will definitely not delay tomorrow's trip." An old man dressed in a blue gray robe with gray temples walked to the fire and said respectfully to Li Mubai.

This time, the Li family decided to let Li Mubai go to Bazhou to explore the wind, and specially selected several experienced old men from the family to be responsible for managing at this time, and this old man was the oldest among them.

"Uncle Li has worked hard for you, you should hurry up and arrange for them to rest, and you will continue to rush tomorrow." Li Mubai nodded and said to the old man.

The old man didn't say much, nodded at Wang Ye, and turned to leave.

"Be careful!"

After a pop, a small silver arrow appeared in the old man's neck and pierced the old man's neck, and the old man only came to scream and fell to the ground, completely silent.

Seeing this scene, Li Mubai instantly burst into heart and shouted in grief: "Uncle Li! ”

"Where is the thief leaving!" Wang Ye got up in an instant and chased into the distance, these people actually dared to kill people in front of him, and they didn't put him in their eyes at all, how could he not be angry.

Looking at Wang Ye, who disappeared into the darkness almost instantly, Zhou Xingyu opened his mouth and wanted to stop him, but unfortunately he was gone.

In desperation, he had no choice but to turn around and come to Li Mubai's side.

The rest of the Li family was also frightened by the changes that happened in front of them, and they immediately screamed in horror.

Zhou Xingyu had no choice but to shout: "Don't panic, everyone, hurry up and get into the carriage and hide!" ”

After receiving Zhou Xingyu's reminder, everyone who was originally panicked crowded and hid in the carriage.

Zhou Xingyu came to Li Mubai's side, lowered his body to check the old man's injury, glanced at Li Mubai, who was grieving, and said in a deep voice: "The hidden weapon is highly poisonous, and it is dead, and there is no help." ”

Zhou Xingyu's ears suddenly moved slightly, and without waiting for Li Mubai to answer, he pushed him to the side.

Sou!

A hidden weapon came through the wind, if Zhou Xingyu hadn't found it in time, it would have hit Li Mubai's shoulder just now.

Looking at the hidden weapon nailed to the carriage and the tail was still vibrating, Zhou Xingyu whispered to Li Mubai: "Brother Li, you hurry up and find a place to hide, I'll go and see who dares to come here to commit murder." I'm going to go back quickly! ”

The words fell, and Zhou Xingyu got up and chased in the direction where the killer left.

Li Mubai had recovered at this time, and after listening to Zhou Xingyu's instructions, he looked at the two carriages that were already crowded with people, gritted his teeth, and turned around and ran towards the darkness.

These people are obviously coming for him, if he stays here, without the protection of Wang Ye and Zhou Xingyu, these people in the Li family may be dragged down by him and killed by the other party.

He chose to leave alone, maybe these people would survive, after all, the other party's target was him.

"Li Mubai, stop, you can't run away!"

Sure enough, Li Mubai had just gotten up and rushed into the woods, and a large number of killers dressed in black suddenly appeared around him.

"Big brother, what about these people?"

The first person glanced at the carriage next to him and said, "Our target is Li Mubai, don't worry about these people, chase me!" ”

After speaking, he took the lead and chased after Li Mubai where he left.

In the dim woods, a black-clad killer scurried through the woods with a small crossbow in his hand, as if something terrible was chasing him behind him.

Wang Ye held the long sword in his right hand, looking at the killer who was desperately fleeing in front of him, but his attitude was relaxed and he seemed to be at ease.

"You can't escape, say! Who sent you to kill Li Mubai? Although it was in the forest, Wang Ye's speed was extremely fast, constantly narrowing the distance between him and the other party.

He figured it out along the way, when he was in Xuanzhou City before, someone paid for the people of the dark dragon to kill Li Mubai, but he and Zhou Xingyu settled it later.

After half a year, the two received a letter from Li Mubai, but the letter did not mention this matter, but only said that their fiancΓ©e Xu Qingmeng was missing, hoping that the two could help, and the two thought that the assassination had been settled by the Li family, and the real murderer had been caught.

Now, it seems, is not the case.

The reason why the other party didn't do it before was just because the Li family was too powerful in Qingtan City to do it.

Now that Li Mubai is out of Qingtan City, without the protection of the Li family, he has caught up with him again.

Seeing that the killer who kept running in the distance had no intention of stopping, Wang Ye frowned slightly, his long sword was unsheathed, and he slashed at the person with a sword, and suddenly a sword light appeared out of thin air, instantly hitting the other party.

After a scream, the whole person lay on the place.

Looking at Wang Ye who was approaching, the man didn't have the slightest fear, but said: "cough cough cough ~ I~ I won't tell you, you kill me, there is the young master of the Li family for me~ I will accompany the funeral." cough cough cough~"

He said intermittently, the coughing sound kept ringing, the black bandana covering his face began to become wet, and blood flowed down his chin, obviously Wang Ye's sword hurt the other party's intestines.

Hearing the words of the black-clothed killer, Wang Ye couldn't help but have a bad feeling in his heart, knowing that now was not the time to waste time, Wang Ye raised his right hand holding the hilt of the sword and gently wiped it on the opponent's neck, ending the opponent's life in an instant. Then he turned and ran towards the camp.
