Chapter 9: Sleepless Nights
By the end of the evening, everyone was tired. Su Weicheng lifted the curtain and asked the personal servant outside, "Where have you gone?"
Beile glanced around, and then replied respectfully: "If you go back to the eldest young master, if you go further, you will be in the misty forest." After the misty forest, there is an inn. ”
Su Weicheng thought about it and said: "Tell me to go down, stop and rest for a night, and then leave when it is dawn, it is not good to walk this misty forest at night." ”
Belle grinned and said, "Yes." ”
The Misty Forest, as the name suggests, is shrouded in a layer of mist in the forest for many years, although it is only a thin layer, but it can confuse people's minds, and those who are confused can never get out.
After receiving the order, the little Si all camped on the spot, and the maids came and went to clean up, a busy scene.
The firewood crackled, the firelight reflected Mu Jin's white face, and the people made a few fires, and everyone sat in front of the fire in several groups. Mu Jin didn't want to be with those people, so he sat alone.
In the distance, when Su Weiyu saw this, he walked over to Mu Jin. Looking at Su Weiyu's departing back, Su Weicheng unconsciously clenched his fists. For Mu Jin, he is also sincere, but as the son of the Su family, the burden of the entire Su family is on his shoulders, and he cannot afford to miss a little, and it is impossible to be by Mu Jin's side all day long like the fourth brother. If Mu Jin also likes him, then he will never have a chance.
"Why is Miss Mu sitting here alone, why don't you come over and have fun with all of us?" Su Weiyu took the opportunity to sit down beside Mu Jin.
Mu Jin said lightly: "I don't like to be lively. ”
Su Weiyu picked up the firewood and tossed the core: "Then I'll sit with the girl for a while." ”
After being silent for about a cup of tea, Su Weiyu took a deep breath, as if he had made a big decision, but his tone pretended to be careless: "Miss Mu must have already promised to be married, this trip, I don't know if the official is at ease?"
Mu Jin was stunned for a moment, and then said lightly: "Mu Jin is sixteen years old, and he hasn't discussed marriage yet. ”
It's great that you haven't talked about it yet. Su Weiyu suppressed the joy in his heart: "Oh, is it? Su still thought it was ........" Before the words were finished, a group of black-clothed people rushed out of the darkness on the opposite side, the sword flashed, and the surrounding guards immediately surrounded to form an encirclement to protect the people of the Su family, and their hands were all pressed on the long sword at their waists.
"Who are you?" Su Weicheng stepped forward with a hint of anger.
The man in black at the head obviously didn't pay attention to them, and waved his hand, "Go!" The man in black behind him immediately rushed towards them with a big knife.
The Su Mansion guards were entangled with the man in black, and Su Weiming and Su Weiyu also joined the battle. Su Weicheng and Su Weiqi stayed behind to take care of Mu Jin and the people in Su Mansion. A quarter of an hour later, the men in black were all subdued.
The white clothes were fluttering, the sword qi was sweeping, and Su Weiyu kicked the leader. The man immediately fell to the ground, and Su Weiyu stepped lightly to the ground, the tip of his sword pointed at the neck of the man in black.
"Say, who sent you? Even the people of Su Mansion dare to move?" Su Weiyu sword qi picked up the black cloth covering his face and said coldly.
"Are you from Sioux House?" the man in black looked annoyed. He was originally the king of the mountain in the nearby mountains, and he relied on his martial arts foundation to be good, and he made a living by robbing on weekdays. During the daylight today, he heard a report from his men that more than a dozen carriages were passing by, and he set out on a whim. Who knew that it was someone from the Su family, his grandmother's, he knew that it was a member of the Su family, and he didn't dare to move if he was given a hundred dares!
"Hmph, since you dare to make up your mind, will you still not know who we are? In my opinion, if you are killed with a sword, it can be regarded as eliminating harm for the people. With that, Su Weiyu was about to raise his sword and kill the man in black.
"Wait. Su Weicheng immediately stopped: "Fourth brother, don't be reckless, although they are thieves, we can't set up a private court, it's better to beat them unconscious and tie them here, and then notify the government to come and detain people." ”
Su Weiyu thought about it and said, "It's still the eldest brother who thinks thoughtfully, so let's do it." ”
The man in black regretted it very much in his heart, he knew that he would not be so greedy for money.
The guards tied up all the men in black in two blows, knocking them out with a knife.
Su Weiyu put away his long sword and stood beside Mu Jin: "Miss Mu, I'll send you back to the camp." ”
Mu Jin nodded: "Thank you, son." ”
The two walked towards the tent together. Before he reached the door, Mu Jin stopped: "Master Su, tonight is destined to be not peaceful." ”
Su Weiyu was very strange: "Why did the girl say this? Hasn't the bandit been captured? Could it be that there are other bandits?"
Mu Jin shook his head: "No, it's not a bandit." "It's a demon!
Su Weiyu was even more strange, and was about to ask for an explanation, when he heard the second lady next to him shouting.
"Ahh There are lions, there are lions!"
At this time, Su Weiming had already stepped forward to block in front of the second lady, his hand was tightly pressed on the hilt of the sword, and he glared at the big lion viciously.
In this way, the lion and Su Weiming were deadlocked, no one made the first move, and the guards of the Su Mansion also gave up their long swords, and stood on both sides of Su Weiming with bows and arrows in their hands, half-squatting and pointing at the lion, as if as long as the lion took a step forward, they would immediately release arrows to kill it.
Su Weiyu glanced at the situation over there and said to Mu Jin: "Miss Mu, you go back to the camp to rest first, and I will send a few people to protect you." ”
Mu Jin shook his head: "I'll go with you." ”
Su Weiyu frowned: "It's very dangerous over there, don't go to your girl's house." ”
Mu Jin was very calm: "It's okay, it can't hurt me, besides, isn't there still you?"
When Mu Jin said this, he put his safety in his hands, and seeing Mu Jin trusting him like this, he couldn't help but smile: "Okay, but you have to stand behind me, lest that beast hurt you." ”
In fact, these sons of the Su family are all accomplished in martial arts, especially Su Weiming and Su Weiyu, a lion will not make them so panicked, the key is that this lion is not an ordinary lion, its volume is as big as three ordinary lions, a pair of eyes exude anger, the corners of the eyes are blood-red, and a roar will make the leaves of the nearby woods fall off one after another. Once they were nervous as if they were facing a great enemy.
Su Weiyu and Mu Jin came to Su Weiming's side one after the other.
"Third brother, what's going on?"
Su Weiming shook his head: "I don't know, I was counting the people in black on the side, and suddenly I heard my mother's cry and came over, and I saw that he was staring at our camp tent, could it be that it smelled blood?"
"Look at this beast as it is ordinary, we need to be careful. ”
But as if he couldn't hold it anymore, the lion took steps towards the crowd, roaring one after another.
Su Weiyu and Su Weiming pulled out their swords, pointed at the ground with the tip of the sword, and looked at the lion coldly, the guards immediately released arrows, and the dense arrows shot at the lion, the lion opened his mouth and roared, and the arrow immediately fell from the air, and the guards put on their bows and arrows, and another wave of arrow rain shot at the lion, and the arrows fell again.
Su Weiming waved his hand, and the guards immediately retreated to protect the others, Su Weiming and Su Weiyu glanced at each other, and at the same time raised their swords and prepared to go towards the lion.
"Wait. A clear voice came, and the two turned their heads to look at Mu Jin.
"Miss Mu?"
Mu Jin smiled lightly: "Stand down, you are not its opponent." ”
Su Weiyu didn't know why: "Miss Mu, although this beast is very powerful, I will join forces with the third brother and I will definitely be able to subdue it." Even if you can't subdue it, as a man, Ye Zi should stand in front to protect you, where is there a retreat?"
Mu Jin said softly: "Master Su, do you believe me? If you believe me, get out of the way." If you don't believe it, then Mu Jin has nothing to say. ”
When Su Weiyu heard Mu Jin say this, he had a sour feeling and couldn't bear it.
"Su is naturally a believer in girls. With that, he really got out of the way.
Mu Jin nodded, took a few steps forward, and looked cold: "Lion Demon, your thousand-year-old cultivation is not easy, do you want to compromise yourself by doing something to destroy your Dao today?"
Su Weiyu and the others all showed surprised expressions, the lion in front of them was actually a thousand-year-old lion demon? No wonder it was so terrifying, but why did Mu Jin know about it? And she wasn't afraid at all?
Maybe it was because Mu Jin revealed his identity, or maybe it was stimulated by Mu Jin's broken words, in short, the lion demon was furious, raised his front paws and threw himself at Mu Jin, and everyone was so frightened that they closed their eyes. Su Weiyu was even more stunned on the spot, because he had never seen such a scene.
Mu Jin shouted in a low voice: "Presumptuous!" and then waved his hand, a white light went straight towards the lion demon, and he heard a "bang", and the lion demon fell to the ground after being hit, and there was a "woo" sound in his mouth.
When everyone opened their eyes, they saw that the lion demon who had just been invincible fell to the ground, constantly shrinking his body, looking like he was waiting to be slaughtered, everyone couldn't help but widen their eyes, as if they didn't believe that such a powerful lion demon was defeated like this? And it was a weak woman who defeated it?
The first to react was Su Weiyu: "Miss Mu, this ....."
Mu Jin thought for a moment in his heart: "I....", and then his body fell down.
Su Weiyu was shocked, so he rushed over: "Miss Mu-"
Nanning knew what Mu Jin was thinking, and shouted cooperatively at this moment: "Miss!"
Everyone was taken aback by this sudden change, and they all stepped forward to care about Mu Jin, but they didn't notice that the lion demon took advantage of this time to escape.
In the dark, everyone was calling for Mu Jin, only Su Weiqi was alone, standing aside, his face was gloomy, his brows were furrowed, staring at Mu Jin who fell to the ground and was protected by Su Weiyu in his arms.
