As the years approached, Li Mu finally returned to the boundary of Shengzhou. However, unlike when he left, at this time, he returned to Shengzhou as Yao Shaoyan's bodyguard. Yao Shaoyan's destination is Huangzhu County in the southeast of Shengzhou, and their current location is Yanbian County in the southwest of Shengzhou.

The terrain in the south of Setsushu is more complex than in the north of Setsushu. The complex terrain means that the towns in the southern counties are scattered. This also means that Li Mu and his party must sleep in the wild at some point.

Let's say tonight.

Li Mu and Yi Fan surrounded the bonfire, nibbling on half a duck each. Opposite them, sat Yao Shaoyan. Yao Shaoyan had a few slices of cooked beef in his hand. Because Yao Shaoyan is here, the food of the group has always been at a high level.

This is simply happiness for some people who love to eat duck legs. "Finally, I don't have to nibble on dry food. Yi Fan pinched a duck leg with one hand and supported the duck body with the other, his mouth was greasy, but he still couldn't help talking. "So, Li Mu, there is no future for following you. ”

Li Mu nibbled on the duck meat in his mouth and said vaguely: "Yes, yes." ”

Yao Shaoyan on the side was much more gentle, he used a square scarf, and the cooked beef was spread on the square scarf. Slowly grab a slice with your hands and eat it slowly. Hearing the conversation between Yi Fan and Li Mu, Yao Shaoyan smiled and said, "If Brother Yi doesn't dislike it, it's okay to continue to be my bodyguard." The wages are correct. ”

These days, Yao Shaoyan can be regarded as familiar with Li Mu and Yifan. Among them, Li Mu rarely speaks on weekdays, and his temperament looks a little dull. It's easy to be a person, and he is much more casual in his speech. Yao Shaoyan is a few years older than them, and they can still talk together.

When Yi Fan heard this, he rolled his eyes, "I'll think about it, if it's been so calm all along, this is a good suggestion." ”

Hearing this, Li Mu glanced at Yao Shaoyan and did not answer. However, Yao Shaoyan said: "When I arrive at the Chai family in Huangzhu County, I will be able to make a comeback." At that time, Nasha Butong and the Red Shark Gang were no longer a threat. In these words, Yao Shaoyan showed a bit of the demeanor of everyone's children.

It's a pity that Yi Fan was eating duck legs, Li Mu was thoughtful, and both of them ignored Yao Shaoyan. Yao Shaoyan didn't feel embarrassed, after all, he was born in a merchant family, although he didn't have martial arts, but he was very old-fashioned. It's just that he is still young and lacks a little experience in dealing with people and knowing people. Otherwise, he would not easily enter Lin Dabiao's game.

It was already dark, and Xiaolian and Shen Li were already resting in the carriage. Xiaoman, the child, is estimated to have fallen asleep a long time ago. Yao Shaoyan cleaned up, and then removed a woolen blanket from the wheel. He walked to the carriage and sat down on the wheels to rest.

The autumn night breeze already carries a little cool breath. Late at night, the coolness turns to a chill. Yao Shaoyan put the blanket on his body and closed his eyes. Li Mu and Yi Fan were still sitting by the fire.

Li Mu put down the duck bone in his hand, reached out and picked up the water bladder on the side and washed his hands. "It's close. I just hope there aren't any moths. ”

"What moths can there be?" Yi Fan continued to eat the duck.

"I've been thinking about it for the last few days. As you said, the main force of the Red Shark Gang is in Qiangzhou, and Sha Butong is just a big treasurer under the God of Wealth. said that they killed for money, but most of the silver tickets on Yao Shaoyan's body came from the Four Seas Silver Account, that is, the money bank under the God of Wealth. That's a little weird. ”

Yi Fan sucked his finger and said, "What's so strange? The Four Seas Silver is the largest and most reputable silver number in the world, as long as the silver money exists in it, even if it is the God of Wealth himself, he can't receive money without a silver ticket." Isn't it normal for Yao Shaoyan's family to be a businessman and keep money in the Sihai Yin? In the north, the silver tickets of the Sihai Silver can be used as money. Those merchants who went to the Yebai Kingdom had to pass through the chaotic Qiangzhou, and it was much more convenient to carry some silver tickets with them than to bring silver. ”

"No, no, no, I don't mean this by weirdness. Yao Shaoyan has said it a few times, the Yao family's disaster this time was caused by Sha Butong's collusion with the Red Shark Gang. But I always felt that wasn't the case. If Sha Butong is the big treasurer under the God of Wealth, I always feel that he should not be a person who is greedy for money. Moreover, he is a businessman. If he leaves a reputation for colluding with thieves and killing people and stealing goods, I'm afraid no one will dare to do business with him. ”

Hearing Li Mu's words, Yi Fan shook his head, "I can't say for sure." There may be other hatreds, or it may be that the Red Shark Gang came forward and hid behind themselves. In short, don't overthink it. ”

Yi Fan stood up, picked up the water bladder and poured it into his mouth first, and then burped, "What you have to think about now is, where will we go next after we finish this ticket." ”

This question made Li Mu stunned. "Didn't think about it. Li Mu said directly. For this answer, Yi Fan nodded slightly, and said nothing. Li Mu got up, searched for some firewood around and threw it into the bonfire. Then he took a blanket and wrapped it around himself.

The night was getting deeper, and the only sounds in my ears were the chirping of insects and the beeping of bonfires. Yao Shaoyan had already fallen asleep on the wheel, and Yi Fan also hugged his blanket and walked behind a stone on the side. Li Mu originally thought that he would come to watch the night, but as time passed, he gradually became a little sleepy. He fell asleep, dazed, and hung his head unconsciously.

It was at this moment that Li Mu felt a cool breeze drifting over his head. Li Mu squinted his eyes and looked back, and it turned out to be a flying knife nailed into the dirt. This flying knife dispelled Li Mu's sleepiness without a trace. "If I hadn't lowered my head at this moment just now......" This thought suddenly appeared in Li Mu's mind, but he didn't have the time to think about it. Li Mu immediately bounced up from the ground. Then he yelled: "Enemy attack!"

Yi Fan's position was behind a stone, and he had always shrunk into a ball, so no one noticed him at first. When he heard Li Mu's voice, he jumped up all of a sudden.

Li Mu took out his short sword and ran to the carriage, protecting Yao Shaoyan behind him. Yi Fan pulled out the Wind Rebellion Sword and guarded on the other side.

Yao Shaoyan was awakened by the movements of the two and looked dazed, but when he saw Li Mu and Yi Fan facing great enemies, he immediately became nervous. "Go under the carriage and don't come out. Li Mu said to him.

This is the strategy that the three of them said would be that if someone attacked, in the case of unclear circumstances, they would stick to the carriage as the center. At this time, Yao Shaoyan's best choice was to get under the carriage.

Shen Li in the car obviously heard Li Mu's voice as well, and she poked her head out of the carriage and looked around vigilantly. "What's going on?" Li Mu waved at him, "Go back to the carriage, there are people." Shen Li saw that Li Mu looked nervous, and returned to the carriage with interest.

Li Mu and Yi Fan are like two door gods, one on the left and one on the right, guarding both sides of the carriage.

However, in the dead of night, no one showed up.

Yi Fan said on the other half of the carriage: "Did Li Mu see anyone?"

"Nope. But just now a throwing knife attacked me. Look at the direction should be my position. Li Mu said. The flying knife just now was completely aimed at his throat, if it weren't for the fact that Li Mu just lowered his head because of sleepiness at that time. That flying knife will hit Li Mu. Thinking of this, Li Mu was also a little afraid. He is not afraid of injury, but that does not mean that he is not afraid of fatal injuries.

The two of them watched for a while, but they didn't see any movement around them. Yao Shaoyan shrank under the carriage and asked, "What now?" Li Mu looked around and said to Yi Fan: "You take him to the car, and then we drive out of here." With that, he waved his hand, "Go quickly." ”

Yi Fan squatted down and waved at Yao Shaoyan, and then he pulled Yao Shaoyan up and put him on the wheel. At this time, a "duh" sounded, accompanied by Yao Shaoyan's scream, and a short arrow hit him in the shoulder.

"Ahh

The next moment, there were three more sounds of breaking the sky. The horse pulling the cart screamed and fell to the ground.

Li Mu's eyes froze, the people in the dark obviously didn't want them to leave here, and as soon as the horse pulling the carriage died, the carriage became a burden. And it has lost its mobility, and if the other party pounces, there is no way to transfer.

"It's going to trap us here. Yi Fan also saw the other party's sinister intentions, he pushed Yao Shaoyan into the carriage, and then hid in the back of the carriage himself. He is not like Li Mu, he is not afraid of injury.

But Li Mu was still very careful now, and he kept an eye on the direction in which the arrows were flying. One with arrows and the other with throwing knives, which should be at least two people. As soon as Li Mu's thoughts fell, two people appeared within the range of the bonfire. One of them was tall and looked a little thin. And the other one is much stronger. Li Mu looked at the sturdy figure, and suddenly felt a little inexplicably familiar.

When they got closer, Li Mu saw these two people. The tall one, judging by her figure, should be a woman, she is dressed in black, and she holds a bow and crossbow in her hand. The other was a man with five or six throwing knives in his hand.

The tall woman looked at Li Mu and the others, stretched out her leg and kicked the man next to her. "I'll just say that this kind of mission that needs to be captured alive doesn't need an unruly person like you. If you hadn't alarmed them just now, would we have had to clash head-on?" said the tall woman viciously.

The man with the flying knife was kicked, but he didn't even get angry, he just whispered: "Don't think that if you reach the hundred and third level, you can show off your might." I took this task in the first place. ”
