Volume 1: The Boy Shows His Edge Chapter 5: The Road Ahead is Cloudy

On an early spring night, the sky is cool and clear, and the hook-like moon is hidden behind the cumulonimbus clouds, and the clear light is impermeable, and the candles of Suzaku City will be extinguished.

Behind the Willow Leaf Bookstore, Chen Xun, hidden in the shadow of the eaves, released the night cloud owls.

This is a kind of flying bird that has been captured and domesticated by the hidden valley in southern Xinjiang, and they can fly in the sky in the dark night, traveling 300 miles at night, and their endurance is excellent, which is very suitable for the transmission of information between their bookstores.

A few quarters of an hour ago, Chen Xun had already taken the information from the bookstores from various places from the night cloud owl's lap.

Among them, the information from Jinguancheng in Qingchuan Prefecture attracted his attention.

"Deacon, Mu Qing's side has already set off this morning, do you need me to go?" The figure that had been hidden behind Chen Xun moved for a moment and asked out loud.

"No, we just need to do what we are responsible for, and the assassins have never lacked this kind of scene, and even have a supportive attitude, so we don't want to interfere anymore when things have developed so far. ”

The moonlight shifted, and half of Chen Xun's body emerged from the shadows, his drooping loose eyelids moved, and his eyes followed the night clouds in the sky.

"That'...... , what should Elder Fenghua do?" Li Cheng behind him cautiously asked his own question.

"You go and write a letter to her, just tell the truth, after all, the pharmacist has a special status. ”

......

Panjun Mountain is located in the south of Stone Town 50 kilometers, more than ten years ago was a mountain and rock, a good place for strange peaks and motegi, because some people in the past found that someone sat on the top of the mountain to make tea and play chess.

The current Panjun Mountain has long been out of character, because of the mining of a special spirit stone in this place for many years, with the mining of the spirit stone, the good times of the peak are not there, but it has formed a valley mouth that is easy to defend and difficult to attack.

According to the topography of this place, a force that roamed the neighborhood in the early years took root here and gradually grew.

This force is called the Iron Bone Village, there are more than 200 people, and their main livelihood is to collect tolls from the caravans that pass through this place, and they are looking at the goods and bidding, and the more valuable the caravan goods, the higher the price they will get.

There was once a leader of a large caravan who suffered a big loss at the hands of the Iron Bone Village, and spent a lot of money to invite the defenders of nearby Stone Town to exterminate this force, but the result was that the army of Stone Town suffered a crushing defeat.

Their leader, Lin Pan, in that battle, showed a faint strength of five grades, which was a general in Vermilion Bird City, let alone near Stone City, which had a population of less than 100,000.

Therefore, after this battle, Tiegu Village took the opportunity to show its strong strength to the people in the past, and it was even more straightforward and unrelenting to put away the tolls.

At this time, in a spacious room in the village, a tall and burly bearded man sat at a wine table made of rough wood.

At this time, his face was pale, his thick eyebrows were wrinkled, beads of sweat were dripping densely from his forehead, he covered his chest with his left hand, and his right hand trembled to seal his body acupoints, which was the main Lin Pan of the Iron Bone Village.

His right hand was put together with his two fingers, and after luckily sealing the Shenque acupoint located above the dantian, he directly sprayed a mouthful of black blood into the wine bowl he had just drunk, and his face returned to a trace of blood.

"Someone!" he hissed as he screamed to the guards outside the door.

That night, among the many doctors who were arrested, an old man who was frightened and panicked said tremblingly: "The old man looks at this poison, it should be the legendary blood cold, to cure this poison, I am afraid that it will need the Nine Turns of Youyan Grass with a little blood." ”

"A little blood is easy to find, but this Nine Turns Flame Grass is an extremely rare medicinal herb even in Vermilion Bird City. A middle-aged man with a goatee looked at the boss who was lying on the bed and couldn't speak, and said worriedly.

......

"Ahh ”

Mu Qing rode a horse and followed Liu Weirui's side, watching Li Si at the front fly up and slamming a heavy fist into the chest of a bandit, and the other party's screams came loudly.

The caravan passed through several places that were easily ambushed yesterday and were safe, but they didn't expect to set off for a short distance today, and they met a group of bandits on the side of this unknown road.

At this time, from the bushes that were more than one person high on the side of the road, there were scattered feather arrows shooting in front of him, and he considered that the other party was using a bow and arrow, so he didn't go up to help, and stayed next to Liu Weirui, in case the dark arrows would be shot coldly.

The situation at the scene gradually became clear, there were more than 30 people in this gang of bandits, but in Mu Qing's eyes, they were a group of weak chickens with no rules.

As soon as the other party emerged from the bushes just now, he came up and shot a feather arrow at the front of the caravan, ignoring the dense crowd gathered in the rear, and had no idea at all to block the road and rob.

"Huh-" A short arrow engraved with green lines on the shaft of the arrow quickly shot at Li Si's vest who knocked down another person, and when it was more than three inches away from his back, he was noticed by Li Si, who was killing happily, and he hurriedly attached a mouthful of pure energy hidden in the diaphragm Yu acupoint to the vest socket, and was still shot by the short arrow into the vest more than an inch.

I saw that he staggered forward two steps because of the impact of being shot by a short arrow, and regardless of the injury on his back, he became more and more courageous, and his whole body was full of air, and sometimes he could knock over a small thief with a palm in the air.

"Stick your hands, get out!" shouted from the bushes that had just fired short arrows, and the dozen or so people who could still move on the mountain road withdrew from the range of the fighting attack in a rather orderly manner.

"Death to Lao Tzu!" Li Si saw that those people ran away regardless of their backs, but they chased after them and knocked over the two of them with the strength of their legs, and he immediately felt a sharp pain in his heart at this time, and was stimulated by this, and he chased after the bandits who had fled into the bushes.

"Huh-" Another arrow came, this time he was already on guard, and his back forcibly twisted to the right to avoid the arrow, but the speed of the pursuit was suppressed.

"Xiaochan, you quickly go forward and tell Xiaosi not to chase after him, and see how he is injured. Liu Weirui, who was on the right side of Mu Qing, saw that the situation was gradually becoming clearer, and said to the maid beside her with a calm expression, it seems that Li Chan can be regarded as her real personal guard.

The kind of ambush and robbery she encountered this morning really didn't make it to the scene in her eyes.

If Uncle Li Niu was here, the person who secretly shot arrows with a strong crossbow would have been captured a long time ago, and it has always been the case that the thief captures the king first. It's just that this is also the first time that Li Si has acted as the leader of the caravan guards, and she won't blame Li Si for fighting back in the same unruly, seeing that Xiaochan stopped Li Si who was still chasing him, and didn't care how Mu Qing went forward alone.

"Little Four, is the injury on your back serious?"

At this time, Li Si had already taken off his shirt, revealing his bronzed strong upper body, turning his back to his sister Li Chan, and asking her to smear the thumb-sized wound with the medicinal powder she carried with her.

He suddenly heard his young lady's concerned inquiry, but he stopped his sister's medicine, turned around and turned sideways to face the wound to Liu Weirui, and said as if showing off his merits: "Miss, this is some skin trauma, my sister is almost healed without medicine, it has no effect at all, but it is a pity that the villain who was hiding in the bushes and shooting dark arrows ran away." ”

After he finished speaking, he was still angry, took a few steps forward, and gave a hard kick to a thief who had just been knocked to the ground by him, because he suddenly tore the wound, and made up for it to relieve his anger.

"The fourth brother Li is really brave and strong, but this arrow seems to be engraved with arrow patterns and quenched poison, little brother, you should be careful. Mu Qing picked up the short arrow that had just been randomly pulled out by Li Si and thrown on the ground, and stepped forward to say.

Mu Qing's current image is in his thirties, and he just calmly talked about the possible aftermath.

But in Li Si's eyes, Mu Qing became a shrinking turtle who was greedy for life and afraid of death when he was in danger, and after he single-handedly defeated the enemy and the situation was safe, he came up and said some cool words to show his knowledge and rich experience.

"Hmph, I know my injuries best, you greedy for life and afraid of death, don't say a word more in front of me. The young man who had just experienced the first battle, his emotions were at a climax, and he bluntly expressed his dissatisfaction.

When Mu Qing heard this, the corners of his mouth smiled slightly, he saw that Liu Weirui didn't say anything to stop Li Si this time, knowing that his image had dropped a few points, from a "four golds" who were originally regarded as dispensable chicken ribs to a person who was slightly disgusted in his heart.

Mu Qing looked around at the guards who were happy to have experienced a "big battle" victory, realized the unkind eyes they swept towards him, and felt a slight scorn in his heart, and withdrew the arrow he picked up in his sleeve, planning to see if he would detoxify Li Si next.

He was all too familiar with the poison that was quenched on the arrow, and it was the venom of the green radish snake, a common venomous snake in the Tiannan Marsh forest.

In the survival training in the swamp forest, I don't know how many green radish snakes were eaten into his stomach, the meat of this snake is tender and tender to eat, and it is still sweet after chewing, which is one of the few delicious foods in his eyes.

Of course, a single drop of the venom of the green radish snake can poison ten cows, but for people who exceed the strength of the eighth grade, no matter which mental method is used, the running path will first be near the wound, so its venom will only exist in the meridians near the wound. The hidden danger is just that luck will suddenly fork near the wound for the next period of time, and this harm can be large.

For Mu Qing, he can not only use internal force to directly force out the venom in the meridians of the acupoints, but also dispense medicine to slowly offset the venom stored in the body.

Since Li Si himself felt that there was no problem, he didn't want to put a hot face on someone else's cold ass and remind him more.

"Well, you still can't forget that you're an assassin, and even if you're a novice, you shouldn't be a bad person. ”

The little turmoil had passed, Mu Qing looked at the white clouds floating behind him and shook his head.
