Thirty chapters

In the woods under the night sky, the leaves are mottled, and more than a dozen figures hide in the forest, quietly waiting for the night to come.

The group has been staring at the Zhao family's caravan for a long time, the Zhao family has provoked people who should not be messed with, and transported goods that should not be transported, tonight is the best opportunity, the Four Qi Palace urgently needs to make new allies and regain a foothold in the Chu Dynasty, so they are very concerned about this mission.

Four years ago, the military advisor led the Thirteen Shadow Guards to enter the Four Strange Palaces, causing heavy losses to the killers of the Four Palaces of Smoke, Cloud, Wind, and Fire, and taking revenge on the assassination that day.

The Zhao family is the fourth daughter of the emperor of the Chu Dynasty, the property under the name of Chu Shanwu, the power of a princess will not attract too many people's attention, but this fourth princess has been extremely smart since she was a child, and she is appreciated by the emperor, and she plays a role that cannot be ignored in the battle for the throne of many princes.

Among the princes of the dynasty, the eldest prince Chu Ziyi, the second prince Chu Yanwu, and the third prince Chu Canglang are considered to be the most likely to inherit the throne of the emperor.

This time, the thing that the Zhao family transported was a birthday gift for the emperor's birthday, which was an extremely rare ancient treasure, the purple trace dragon Wending, which is said to have the effect of suppressing the fortune of a country and refining the emperor's qi, so it caused the secret peep of people with a heart.

The intelligence of the four princesses is unparalleled in the world, the layout is tight, there are no flaws, as early as half a year ago, they sent nineteen caravans to protect the heavy soldiers as bait, and the imitations of the Purple Trace Dragon Pattern Ding have also thrown out countless numbers, and the news of the virtual and real is spread all over the sky, who would have thought that a team of ordinary teams who have been going back and forth on this trade road for 20 years is the real owner of the Purple Trace Dragon Pattern Ding.

The more than 20 people in the team don't know anything about this, and only Zhao Se knows about this from beginning to end, but no matter how unparalleled his wit is, he can't withstand the hearts of the people, Zhao Se is a soft-hearted person, or he won't help the lost people again and again, however, it is this soft-heartedness that eventually became the failure of the fourth princess.

Before the mission left, Zhao Se's son saw that his father was hiding something, which was a very rare thing, and under curiosity, he secretly entered his father's study, and after stealing the secret decree of the fourth princess, he happened to meet his father who came back in a panic.

Zhao Se was furious and wanted to lock his son in the forbidden land of the clan, but he couldn't stand his wife's bitter pleading, and finally just locked up in the room and grounded.

The heart was soft for a while, but it turned into a big mistake, the son of Zhao Se was depressed in his heart, and the mantra after drinking was listened to by the people of the Zhao family, which would lead to today's results.

If it weren't for Zhao Se to "pick up" Luo Qiu again, today's Zhao family caravan would have really been buried in another country.

What is the cause, what will be the fruit after all, Luo Qiu and the military advisor who were chased by the dangerous building of the Four Qi Palaces had no way to go to heaven and no way to go to the ground, and it was also because this time Luo Qiu buried a hidden danger that was difficult to recover, and then his body was not healed, and finally, when he was seriously injured and dying, he was defeated and walked away from Zifeng Slope, and was forced into the forbidden land by the Taishang elders of the three holy realms.

Because of the grievances of the past, the military advisor also washed the Four Qi Palaces in a fit of rage, slaughtering the masters of the four palaces of smoke, clouds, wind, and fire, so that the foundation of the Four Qi Palaces in the Chu Dynasty was destroyed overnight.

Therefore, the Four Qi Palaces urgently needed to make allies in an attempt to gain a foothold in the Chu Dynasty again, and this was the second encounter between Luo Qiu and the killers of the Four Qi Palace.

I have to say that everything in the world can't escape the word cause and effect after all, and Luo Qiu is also a human being, so he can't avoid it either.

The grievances of four years ago will be settled again tonight, back then, Luo Qiu was just a child, just out of the mountain, he couldn't fight, and he was chased by a dangerous building and ran lifelessly, and now, the children of the past have grown up, learned to walk, learned to fight, and learned to kill.

Truly responded to the old saying, don't bully the poor youth.

The leaves in the forest are swaying and rustling, and one person enters the forest, the strips of cloth that are entwined fall off, and the ancient sword comes out, bringing out the most cold and glamorous killing light.

Luo Qiu didn't know the identity of the person, but he knew that the person who came was murderous, since they all came to ask for killing, there was no need to say more, no matter how much nonsense was talked, only the dead were the most harmless.

He, Luo Qiu, killed with his body today, and stopped fighting with his sword.

The killer's acumen dodged the first sword, but he couldn't avoid the desolation of the horizontal sword, and after two moves, one person died.

The body has not stopped, the sword momentum has not stopped, the remnant body of the throat has not fallen, the sword has come to the next person, silently, penetrating the body, a sword swing, blood spurting out three feet away.

In an instant, two people had already fallen, and the remaining ten people reacted, but it was too late, the sword rose and fell, the stumps flew, and the blood was scattered, and the disparity in strength made this battle a one-sided slaughter.

Luo Qiu's strength, there is no doubt that since the Four Qi Palaces suffered heavy losses from the military divisions, the foundation of the Four Qi Palaces in the Chu Dynasty is far from what it used to be, and the strong people who stayed in the four palaces of smoke, clouds, wind, and fire could not easily leave the Four Qi Palaces again, and this time, the caravan of the Zhao family was just ordinary people, and dispatching the real strong people would attract the attention of other people's forces.

After a few breaths, the ground was already full of blood and corpses, Luo Qiu picked up the strip of cloth on the ground, re-wrapped the Spring and Autumn Sword behind him, and then silently walked out of the woods.

Zhao Se had already gone back to the tent to sleep, and under the darkness of the night, Luo Qiu was left sitting alone outside the tent, his eyes breathing, and he was recovering his suppressed body little by little.

On the second day, the convoy continued to move forward, and what happened last night was unknown except for Luo Qiu.

The walking convoy spent most of its time on the wilderness mountain road, and was very closed to the news of the outside world, Luo Qiu didn't know if the real sin had begun, and his heart was very heavy.

This kind of powerlessness is unacceptable, although after Zhao Se's enlightenment last night, he also tried to let go of this worry that surpasses his ability, but after all, the matter may involve the Hou Mansion, and it would be a lie to say that he is not in a hurry.

Zhao Se was also very anxious, because there were less than ten days before the emperor's birthday, and he had not completed the task assigned by the fourth princess, so he kept asking the team to hurry up.

The mountain road is rugged, but can not stop the strong determination of the pedestrians, the reason why Qianfeng Ridge is called Qianfeng Ridge, because there are nearly 1,000 peaks of all sizes in this rugged mountain range, you can imagine how difficult this mountain road is.

The footwalk in the wilderness depends on horses, but when it comes to the mountain road, the horse road depends on manpower, and the mountain road and horses are the biggest burden, and everyone is very difficult, leading the horses forward little by little, and trying to appease the horses who are unwilling to cooperate.

A Thousand Peaks Ridge, it took everyone two days to get out, during which a horse and a cart of spices were also damaged, if it weren't for Luo Qiu's quick reaction and pulling out the young man who led the horse in time, I am afraid that it would not only be the horse and spices that rolled down the cliff.

People who beg for a living on horseback will experience this all year round, and this time they are lucky, so after leaving Qianfeng Ridge, the convoy will continue to hurry up after a simple rest.

The Chu Dynasty has been a country and a country for a hundred years, there are not many robbers, horse bandits, and even moreover, although the Zhao family's convoy is full of ordinary people, many of them have the foundation of martial arts, and the ability to send some bandits is still there.

On the way to cultivation, only by casting the heart spring can it be regarded as an entry, and just this step has blocked countless people.

Martial arts in the world are mostly for physical fitness, and there are very few people who can really embark on the road of cultivation, so the situation where masters are everywhere and there are many strong dogs can only be heard in folk stories.

Luo Qiu's sword has been wrapped in strips of cloth, and there is no difference between a broken wooden board behind his back, and Luo Qiu is handsome, although he doesn't like to talk, but he treats people kindly, and no one really regards him as a master.

Only Zhao Se saw that Luo Qiu was a little different, he always had a feeling that the young man in front of him was changing every day, although it was very subtle, but it was really happening.

I have to say that sometimes, it is really a terrible thing to live for a long time, Luo Qiu's cultivation gradually recovered after leaving the forbidden land, and his aura also changed, giving people a feeling that must be different, however, this kind of small change should never be noticed by an ordinary person.

There is a word that describes it very appropriately, the old fox, and sure enough, the older it is, the more fox it is.

The team hurried day and night, very urgent, for three days in a row, there was almost no time to rest, everyone's upper eyelids were about to fall, Luo Qiu was also a little tired, after all, there were injuries on his body, and long-distance travel was also a very energy-consuming thing.

He tried to focus on cultivating the Scroll of Living, but it was not smooth, the Scroll of Cultivation was difficult and difficult to cultivate in the early stage, and the progress was already extremely slow, coupled with the drag of losing half of his body, it was simply an impossible task to regain his body in the short term.

Fortunately, he still has the martial arts of the Hou Mansion, and it is only a matter of time before he returns to his original realm.

Of course, the immortal foundation of the past is destined to become only a memory, and the scroll of life is lost, and half of the body is lost, even if the cultivation is restored, it cannot be compared with the past.

Luo Qiu has regrets, but he doesn't regret it, it's not easy to survive, and he can't ask for anything more.

On the fourth day, the team, which had managed to get a short break, ran into trouble again.

Another team of killers from the Four Wonders Palace is here!

This time, even Luo Qiu didn't count it, and he was surprised in his heart, what was transported in the caravan behind him, which made people lay down so many backhands in a row.

Last time he didn't leave a single mouth alive, and the dead would not deliver the message, so these people had been arranged early in the morning.

Facing the twelve killers whose strength was obviously one level higher, Luo Qiu could not continue to hide his identity in front of everyone, and the moment the sword came out, it was the most ruthless killing.

The people in the caravan are a little stupid, they have seen murder, but they have never seen such a cruel slaughter, the seemingly kind and harmless young man, but at this moment he is like a god of death harvesting the lives of mortals, without mercy, the sword rises, the stump flies, the sword falls, and the soul is broken......
