Chapter 43: Revealing the Edge
Perhaps because they had been together under the same roof for a long time, Xiaoli became more and more bold and talked to him more and more frequently. She no longer felt like the shy little lolita before.
However, the little gesture of grabbing the little face remained unchanged. Lin Jingzhe was naturally curious, but did not ask.
Wang Yi seemed to have acquiesced in Xiaoli's existence and asked her to take care of Lin Jingzhe's daily life, but others also knew what kind of daily life could be found in a small carriage.
However, Wang Yi also sent his daughter Wang Luoyi to go up and replace Wang Shiliang from time to time to call Lin Jingzhe over for dinner.
The first time is life, the second time is maturity.
Perhaps because of these reasons, she became more and more pleased with Lin Jingzhe's appearance, and became more proactive when talking to him.
Wang Luoyi knew that his father wanted to betroth him to Lin Jingzhe, but he refused openly and implicitly. Although he did not hurt his kindness, he was a little dissatisfied in his heart. He was not ugly, and even had a lot of hair.
The young master proposed marriage to me, but he refused because of his young age. Instead, he fell into the trap of this poor Taoist priest.
"Brother Lin, how many did my eldest brother win in that competition you told me about last time?" Wang Roy's voice was very gentle, so gentle that it could make you cry.
"First place, why did you forget it again?" Lin Jingzhe remembered how many times he had mentioned it to her, but she still brought it up again every time.
"Oh." Wang Luoyi grabbed the corner of his clothes with one hand and stood aside shyly, never thinking of any new topics to talk to him about again.
The carriage stopped in the jungle nearby. It was time for a lunch break and drinking water and food. A few crisp bird songs came from the jungle canopy, which was very pleasant to the ears.
"Brother Lin, are you leaving when you arrive in Cangzhou City?"
"Yeah." Lin Jingzhe answered directly without thinking.
"Oh." Wang Luoyi said, her expression seemed a little lost, and suddenly she grabbed the corners of her clothes with both hands at the same time. She mustered up her courage and said, "Can you not leave? Or, can you live in our palace?
?”
Lin Jingzhe rubbed her nose, looked at her soft eyes, was stunned for a while, and said, "Are you inviting me?"
"Yeah." Wang Luoyi said shyly, and the two hands holding the corners of his clothes became tighter.
"Let's talk about it then." Lin Jingzhe said, without rejecting or agreeing.
The carriage rumbled through the jungle for several days, and there was still a jungle ahead, with no trace of human fireworks.
It is a thousand miles from Baiyu Town to Cangzhou City. Along the way, it passes through three cities, each of which is at different distances.
It was already a month ago when I passed the Feilong City.
"Zhenren Lin."
"Um."
"That night, if you hadn't taken action, I'm afraid we wouldn't have been able to escape the fate of being killed."
"It's just a small effort, Gu Tongwei doesn't need to take it to heart. Besides, Uncle Wang has already thanked you many times." Lin Jingzhe rubbed her nose and spread her hands helplessly.
"I'd better express my true feelings by thanking you personally. After all, if you hadn't saved my life at that time, I might have been lying in the dry desert."
"Your injuries are not serious. Even without my help, you will wake up after lying down for a while."
"You are really humble."
"By the way, how far are we from the next city?"
"In total, there should be more than two hundred miles." Gu Changshou responded.
"It seems still a little far away." Lin Jingzhe frowned. After meeting the man with the middle finger in the desert, he never appeared again in the next ten days.
"You can really hold your breath calmly."
"Did the real person talk about me?"
"Uh, no."
"It's okay, I say."
Gu Changshou was in a good mood. Although he was unconscious and lying there for a long time after the battle, he still wanted to find Lin Jingzhe and express his sincere thanks.
Lin Jingzhe nodded helplessly, but did not forget to remind: "The enemy must be losing their composure. I'm afraid they will attack again in the next few days."
"It turns out that when the real person just said that he can really calm down, he was referring to his enemies." Gu Changshou patted his forehead and suddenly realized.
"Then do you really think I said that I can't hold my breath?" Lin Jingzhe didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
Gu Changshou took out all the servants, organized and trained them, and temporarily became a guard.
In the entire team, excluding Wang Yi, Wang Shiliang, and Lin Jingzhe, there were less than fifty men in total. If there was a surprise attack, it would be another fierce fight.
At night, the team prepared on the spot and sat in a circle on a wide ground in the jungle. The women gathered in their horses/cars, while the men turned their backs to each other and guarded the women in the circle.
Lin Jingzhe naturally didn't have to work so hard to guard outside, he was still sitting in the carriage.
The little girl has been taken away, and now he is the only one in the carriage. He can finally stretch his legs endlessly in the carriage and lie down freely.
Another peaceful night passed without incident.
But things were not as usual. Early the next morning, before we had driven many miles, the sky suddenly started to rain heavily.
Most of the pedestrians walking outside, even if they put on their raincoats in time, were soaked all around, making walking extremely inconvenient. In desperation, everyone looked for a few huge trees and hid under them.
It rained for half an hour, and the rainwater in the forest almost reached my knees, but soon it was absorbed by the soil.
Although the rain has stopped, rainwater is still dripping from the leaves on the trees.
But at this moment, a white mist suddenly floated from the forest. The white mist was odorless and invisible. In the blink of an eye, it enveloped the motorcade in the forest.
Lin Jingzhe looked at the sudden white mist and frowned, because his consciousness was covered within a mile and found no abnormalities. The white mist did not seem to be man-made, but was formed naturally.
Everyone still used to cover their mouths and noses with cloth strips. Even if the white mist is not poisonous, it would be good to be more considerate.
But just after everyone opened their eyes, dozens of "chichichi" sounds suddenly sounded through the forest, and in the blink of an eye, they came several feet away.
"Hide." Gu Changshou shouted angrily, waving the sword in his hand and hitting away the sharp arrows around him.
"Ah yo..."
Several screams arose one after another. Someone was hit by several arrows and died tragically on the spot.
"kill."
Suddenly a deep shout came from the forest, and a dozen figures were seen floating down from the trees, like light swallows, and in the blink of an eye, they came to the chaos of Wang's horse team.
These dozen or so figures were dressed up by Qiao Zhuang and hid in the tree, almost integrated with the tree. After the rain passed and white mist floated up, they launched a sneak attack.
This is also the reason why Lin Jingzhe couldn't find them when he used his spiritual scanning.
Their deliberate accumulation and patience are extraordinary, and they are definitely beyond the comparison of ordinary people.
Lin Jingzhe frowned. The sight in the forest was now obscured by white mist, making it difficult for many people to see anything within ten feet. If this continued, there would definitely be heavy casualties within the Wang clan.
He didn't hesitate immediately, and when he got into the air, he wanted to use the "Wind Control Technique" to drive away the white mist.
But he seemed to have overlooked a serious problem. These people seemed to be coming for him.
In just a few breaths, when he used the wind control technique to reach the air, the killers who were killing the Wang clan members on the ground suddenly left the lambs in their hands and jumped into the air and swung at him.
Dazzling light.
That was a sword light, and it was not a sword move that ordinary mortals could use at all.
Only then did Lin Jingzhe see clearly that among the dozen or so people, all of them were blind. They did not need to rely on their eyesight to identify directions.
"It turns out he came for me."
Lin Jingzhe frowned and did not dare to be careless. He immediately waved his hand and summoned more than ten water arrows to sweep towards them.
But they were obviously underestimated. As soon as those water arrows touched them, they were scattered and turned into water mist.
"break!"
When Lin Jingzhe saw this, he no longer held back. The ninth level of Qi training was rolling around, forming a line of body-protecting breath to resist the incoming sword light.
At the same time, his palms surged, and several fireballs appeared. In his palms, with his casual sweep, the fireballs suddenly grew in size. Several blind killers were engulfed in the fireballs before they had time to react.
There was a sudden attack, and a dozen killers who trapped Gu Changshou and others were unable to hold on for half a round in the air before they were crushed and fell into the forest, their life or death unknown.
After doing all this, before Lin Jingzhe could even breathe a sigh of relief, a figure swept over him from the forest as fast as lightning.
He quickly turned his palm, summoned a fireball, and threw it up.
But everything is of no avail and in vain.
The fireball hit the body. Instead of knocking him away, it aroused his murderous intention and directly punched Lin Jingzhe.
Lin Jingzhe fell from the sky like a kite with its string broken, and fell into the forest.
"Real person!"
Gu Changshou shouted and was about to go up to investigate when another group of people rushed out of the forest and rushed toward them.
"I'm sorry for you, Amu, why are there so many people here?" He couldn't help but curse, and with a sword, he chopped down the person in front of him.
"Such a great force." When Lin Jingzhe was knocked to the ground, he used the wind control technique to remove much of the force. Only then did he stand firmly, but his shoes were a lot wet.
"It turned out to be the man from yesterday, but he had four broken fingers and didn't really give the middle finger."
When they were fighting each other in the air, he discovered that the person was the one who appeared under the cover of his consciousness a few days ago.
If four fingers are broken, can it still be considered a fist? But that power can only be exerted by a fist.
He stretched out his hand to rub the sore flesh on his stomach. If he hadn't cultivated the Hongmeng Chaos Yin and Yang poles and also cultivated his physical body, he might have punched through his abdomen with just one punch.
A burst of sound fell from the top of the head, and the man was chasing after him. Without saying a word, he punched him with his fist.
Only then did Lin Jingzhe see clearly. This man had a dead face, expressionless and pale all over.
Although his eyes were open, there was no light at all.
Four fingers were missing from his left hand, leaving only one middle finger. However, he made a fist with his right hand and struck it.
With previous experience, Lin Jingzhe did not dare to resist, so he could only summon a fireball and throw it at him.
At the same time, he used the "Wandering on the Ground without Trace" in "Walking Cloud Step" and quickly retreated behind him.
This step on the ground without a trace is the second time he has used it. Compared with the wind control technique, this step on the ground without a trace wastes more spiritual energy. Although the speed is not much different, it lies in the agility of the movement.
To put it simply, treading without trace is suitable for walking in obstacles such as forests, while wind control is suitable for walking in wide areas.
"Peng!"
The weirdo hit a tree with his fist, and the tree was immediately punched through, leaving a big hole as big as his fist.
Lin Jingzhe smacked his tongue, this physical strength must be too terrifying.
He didn't dare to be careless, so he started working with both his left and right hands at the same time, calling each other's rockets and water arrows to attack the upper and lower walls of the monster.
"Ding ding ding..."
There was just a dense sound, and the water arrows and rockets seemed to hit a metal container. They were unable to penetrate it and could only block it for a moment, which was useless.
