Chapter 148: Enemy in the Night

"Cai Xiao!" Shen Zhuoyu hurriedly held her up, caught the falling letter with the other hand, swept the content on it, and his face changed slightly, only to see that it was written:

"Cai Xiao, although you are responsible for me, I will not forget my promise to you. It's just that I still have to say I'm sorry, because I was so confused that I was hiding something important...... I can't save your mother for the time being. My Void Sword Technique has only been practiced to the second level, and if you want to heal your mother, you must reach the third level. When you read this letter, I had already started my retreat, and I hope it's not too late......"

Shen Zhuoyu read it, knowing that this letter was tantamount to a thunderbolt on a sunny day for Su Caixiao, seeing her crying for a long time, although she felt heartache, but she was helpless.

He completed his mission and returned to the Chu family with a group of people. He walked all the way to the shore of Lingjian Lake, but saw seven or eight figures standing on the shore.

When he got closer, he bowed down and said, "My subordinates have delivered the Excalibur and the letter." ”

Chu Qianyu, who was standing at the front, turned around when he heard the sound, the wrinkles on his face were as deep as ravines, as if he was a few years older, his eyes were not sad or happy, he just nodded his head lightly, and said in a deep voice: "Have all the guests gone?"

Flipping Yuzi took a step forward and arched his hand: "This morning, it has almost dispersed, and the rest are mostly sects that are good friends with the Chu family, and they may have to stay for a while." ”

"Hmm...... From today onwards, you must stay here one step at a time, and you must not let anyone interfere with the head of the family, but do you understand?"

"Yes!" the six replied in unison.

Chu Qianyu nodded with satisfaction, and then turned his gaze to Xiaozhu in the middle of the lake, with both expectation and sentimentality in his eyes, and asked secretly: Xuan'er...... Is it right or wrong that you gave up Excalibur so easily?

At this moment, the backyard of the small building, full of flowers, and the singing of birds was sad, Chu Xuan was sitting cross-legged on the mud floor, his eyes slightly closed, and the strong sword intent was constantly rising. In front of him, a newly built tomb was particularly delicate, and on the stone tablet in front of the tomb, a row of iron hooks and silver lines was almost about to break out of the stone, and it was carved purely with sword qi.

Chu Xuan Huo Ran opened his eyes, stretched out his miserable white five fingers, slowly brushed over every stroke on the stone tablet, and muttered: "Wu'er, one day, I will sweep away the Evil Tiger Gang and avenge you!"

The sun is scorching, and the text on the stele is revealed, which is: The tomb of the beloved wife Tengwu.

After this battle, the Chu family's vitality was greatly damaged, not only did they not achieve the expected goal, but they also lost two of the eight horses. However, in a month, there have been rumors on the rivers and lakes, and it is said that there is a young master at the Divine Sword Conference, claiming to be from the Shen family, and he is the descendant of the Stacked Wave Sword. Unexpectedly, with his own strength, he first defeated many masters of the Chu family, and then overwhelmed the Evil Tiger Gang and broke the siege for the Chu family.

For a time, Shen Zhuoyu's name spread thousands of miles and was known to the world.

On this day, in the territory of Wuyi Mountain, a carriage came from the east and drove into the forest.

The coachman, with a hat, controls two brown horses, and scolds from time to time. The carriage was moving in a hurry, and the wind swept through it, rolling up the dead leaves on the ground.

Suddenly, a pleasant and touching voice came from the carriage: "Are you tired, if you are tired, let's rest for a while......"

The coachman looked up at the sky and said, "It's not early today, if you don't hurry up, I'm afraid you will have to spend the night in this forest." "I have a scruffy beard on my chin, I'm afraid I haven't taken care of it for a long time.

"Spend the night and spend the night, there's nothing to be afraid of. The curtain of the carriage was lifted, and a face that was not like a mortal poked out, pressing the sunlight into darkness, it was not Su Caixiao, who was it?

The coachman raised his hat and revealed his true face, naturally it was Shen Zhuoyu. He shook his head and sighed: "Cai Xiao, if you walk more every day, you can reach the snow mountain earlier, don't you also want to see your mother earlier?"

When Su Caixiao heard this, his face turned gloomy, and he retracted into the carriage without saying a word.

Shen Zhuoyu sighed, but he didn't ask much, but he always felt faintly in his heart that Su Caixiao still had something to hide from him.

In this way, the carriage hurried all the way, but unfortunately the mountains of Wuyi Mountain were very wide, and the two of them did not gallop out of the forest before dark after all. In desperation, I had to stop the carriage and set off again the next day.

This trip to the Great Snow Mountain is the result of the discussion between the two of them. Shen Zhuoyu persuaded Su Caixiao that since the hope of the Chu family was broken, she had no reason to stay in the rivers and lakes, so it was better to go back earlier, firstly, there were many books in the Ling Jue Palace, and she might be able to find other ways, and secondly, she could spend more time with her mother.

After packing up the horses, Shen Zhuoyu found some dry firewood and set up a bonfire, which helped Su Caixiao out of the carriage.

The two took out dry food and water, and ate some.

Su Caixiao stared at the bonfire in a daze for a while, and suddenly asked, "By the way, how is that kid Anning doing now?"

"Why did you suddenly think of him?" Shen Zhuoyu smiled.

Su Caixiao sighed lightly: "After passing here, I remembered the days when you, me and An Ning played together, how happy I was at that time!"

As soon as Shen Zhuoyu was told by her, she also recalled the scene at that time in her mind, and said with a smile: "An Ning almost pushed you into the water, haha, you are still thinking about him." ”

Su Cai glanced at him, "It's better than some people taking advantage of the fire to rob...... Where is he now?"

Shen Zhuoyu naturally knew what he meant by "robbing while the fire was on", and immediately snorted, "I left him with Uncle Li, it's ten thousand times better than following me adrift." I don't know why, when he said this, the picture of him saying goodbye to Li Yan flashed in his mind, and his heart suddenly became sour, and he thought: That girl, I don't know what is going on now, An Ning shouldn't bully her......

"Hmm......" Su Caixiao responded, but he remembered the night he left the Li Mansion in his heart, and suddenly lost his interest in reminiscing.

The two of them have been leaving Nanjian Prefecture for a while, and they have come all the way, but it has been quite smooth, at this speed, at most, they can reach the foot of the snow-capped mountain in a month.

Shen Zhuoyu now just wants Cai Xiao to reunite with her mother earlier, and everything else is put later.

Whenever he thought of this, he would always think of Chu Ming, and thought: Cai Xiao can still see his mother after all, but what about me, I don't even know if she is alive or dead......

The two of them had their own concerns, and there was silence around the campfire for a while.

At this moment, Shen Zhuoyu's earlobes trembled slightly, and a strange chirp was faintly heard. He is now reincarnated to reach the state of perfection, and his five senses are becoming more and more acute, not to mention that the sky is already dark at this time, and the forest is already quiet, and such a strange sound is definitely not made by animals.

When he thought about it, he suddenly jumped up, and before Su Caixiao understood what was happening, he was hugged into his arms.

Su Caixiao was about to ask, but saw Shen Zhuoyu make a silent gesture, how smart she was, seeing this, she knew that the situation was different, and immediately held back the words she wanted to say, but nodded vigorously.

Another strange scream, closer than the previous one. Shen Zhuoyu's figure flashed, and he jumped onto the high branch without a sound. He and Su Caixiao hid in the shadows, condescending, wanting to see the reality of the visitor.

The visitors noticed that there was no movement here, but when they were resting in the carriage, they immediately came out of the woods. There is no figure under the footsteps, and it is obviously very good.

Shen Zhuoyu's eyes were like electricity, staring closely at the person who came, only to see that he was dressed in black clothes at night, looking left and right, Xu was sure of the situation, suddenly reached into his arms, took out a thing, and then pointed to the sky, only to hear the sound of "sigh", a little glimmer shot straight into the night sky, and it was more than ten zhang high. This glimmer is not conspicuous, but if you look closely, you will be able to find it.

"He's guiding his companions!" Shen Zhuoyu and Su Caixiao glanced at each other, and at the same time, their faces suddenly became nervous.

Sure enough, without a moment's effort, dozens of black shadows came out from all directions of the forest, surrounding the carriage.

It wasn't until everyone was only a foot away from the carriage that the person who gave the signal suddenly raised his hand and shouted, "Shoot the arrow!"

In just an instant, all the black-clothed people had already set up strong crossbows, Shen Zhuoyu saw those crossbow machines, and his heart was shocked: "Divine Arm Crossbow?!" In his mind, he immediately remembered the crossbow machine that Wu Shuang showed him that day, this Divine Arm Crossbow needs to be loaded with feet, it is very slow, but the power is very terrifying, and it can still penetrate the iron armor three hundred steps away.

With a loud bang, countless bursting crossbow arrows were fired into the carriage, and the carriage was shot into a sieve in an instant.

The horses were so frightened by this situation that they struggled frantically, and had no choice but to be tied to the trees, and had to neigh bitterly.

The first man waited for a while, cautiously stepped forward, lifted the curtain, but saw that it was empty, his body was immediately stunned, and before he could understand what was going on, he heard a loud shout above his head, which frightened him to the weakness of his feet, and immediately jumped backwards, and the speed was amazing.

Shen Zhuoyu wanted to kill him with one move, but he didn't expect this person to be so good at light skills, so he had to give up, twisted his body, and threw himself at the rest of the people.

The black-clothed men looked up in unison, and their first reaction was to shoot him with the Divine Arm Crossbow, but when they lifted the crossbow machine, they remembered that the crossbow arrow had just been shot, and if they wanted to shoot again, they had to reload. For a while, everyone was in a hurry and began to load their crossbow arrows.

Seeing this, Shen Zhuoyu was overjoyed: I don't know where these people got the Divine Arm Crossbow, it seems that they are not familiar with the practice, and it is a good opportunity for us!

Before the words stopped, he had already broken into the black-clothed crowd, and in an instant, he didn't know how many punches he swung and how many kicks he kicked, only to hear the screams one after another, and everyone who touched his fists and feet was shocked several feet, and even if he didn't die, he also broke off several bones.

Shen Zhuoyu had seen the ruthlessness of this group of people with his own eyes, if he and Cai Xiao were really in the carriage just now, they would have died on the spot, and now they would be merciful when they were filling. It is under the fists and feet, and all the strength is exerted.

After a few breaths, most of the men in black had fallen, and the rest had finally set up their crossbow machines, lined up in formation, and were about to shoot crossbow arrows. Unexpectedly, in mid-air, he remembered several sounds of breaking the air, and before several black-clothed people could recover from their senses, they had already fallen to the ground, and their throats were pierced by flying knives.

The leader looked up and saw that there were flying knives shooting out from the top of the tree, and he suddenly shouted, "There are still people in the tree!!"

Shen Zhuoyu heard him shout, but saw that several black-clothed people had aimed their crossbow machines at the crown of the tree, and at a moment, Shen Zhuoyu roared and raised his hand to slap the carriage.

Bang!

The already broken carriage shattered, and countless sawdust flew towards the black-clothed crowd. He was so angry that the power was so terrifying that anyone who was hit by sawdust was a blur of flesh and blood.

At this time, this group of black-clothed people were so frightened that they scattered and fled for their lives, Shen Zhuoyu glanced around, and he didn't see the person in the lead, so he couldn't help but say, "Escape quickly!"
