The cold wind is howling, and the autumn leaves are withering.
The mountain road is covered with a thick layer of golden leaves. Probably because people don't often pass by, the leaves are not stained with mud. When they are run over by wheels, they will make a rustling sound.
It sounds very nice.
A line of carriages slowly drove out from the depths of the forest. The wildebeest leading the carriage had a golden bell hanging on its neck. It jingled as it walked, and it sounded clear and sweet.
It's like adding some fun to a quiet road.
The group of people swayed leisurely, and from time to time a few laughters could be heard from inside the carriage, which spread far away through the curtains of the carriage.
It was a very ordinary afternoon. The sunshine from the south was warm, illuminating everything with a peaceful atmosphere, golden light and warmth.
However, just as the carriage was driving halfway, the wildebeest, which was walking slowly and calmly, suddenly went crazy and raised its two front legs high, and suddenly pulled the carriage behind it.
It swung its tail like a dragon and swayed from side to side.
The man in brown clothes driving the car was shaken so hard that he was almost thrown out. He quickly regained his composure and tightened the reins with all his strength.
"Young master, hurry up!" He shouted with all his strength, but there seemed to be no movement inside the carriage, and there was no echo at all.
He suddenly became anxious, and the reins in his hands suddenly loosened, and the wildebeest, which had been strangled so painfully, was bounced back by the reins and fell directly on its head.
It looked like it didn't have much force, but after it popped out, it was discovered that the spiritual power had poured into it with just a random flick, and the wildebeest was knocked unconscious in an instant.
People on several carriages behind them also flew over and when the wildebeest fell, one of them drew a knife and cut off the reins, while the others used their shoulders to resist the carriage, preventing it from turning over.
Despite such a loud movement, the people inside the carriage never made a sound or even showed their faces.
The man in brown clothes strode forward and was about to lift the curtain when he heard the sound of two sharp arrows piercing the air, and one arrow flew straight past his face and hit the pillar of the carriage.
.
The man in brown clothes froze for a moment, then quickly turned around and said to everyone: "Spread out, surround the carriage, don't let the arrows get in!"
Several people nodded in unison, and two of them pulled out two waist-high sword blades from their arms and propped up the sedan. They pulled out and quickly spread out to surround the carriage.
All actions take place in an instant, quickly and swiftly.
And at this moment, the first wave of arrow nets had been shot over densely, like tiny needles being scattered out one by one.
Everyone opened their spiritual power shields and thickly surrounded the carriage layer by layer. The light shield spliced by various spiritual powers looked colorful and very beautiful.
However, the man in brown clothes in the middle changed his expression and immediately shouted: "This is a spirit-breaking arrow, everyone, be careful!"
Before he finished speaking, all those arrow feathers were seen passing through their shield of light like a copper wall, and they were in front of everyone's eyes in an instant.
The man in brown clothes stretched out his hand and pulled off the robe on his body, then shook it out clockwise, threw it out at the flying arrow feathers, and stretched out his hand to roll it up.
Those arrow feathers seemed to be sucked into a whirlpool, and when he wrapped them, they were swept away.
The rest of the people immediately followed suit, and the first wave of flying arrows were all cleared up in an instant.
Then they shook off their clothes, and while those around them were loading arrows, they sent all the wrapped arrows back.
Suddenly, a tragic scream was heard, and masked men in black fell from the trees on both sides of the trail.
The moment he landed, his limbs twitched, he foamed at the mouth, and he suddenly burped.
Seeing this, the man in brown clothes couldn't help but sneered: "Everyone, be careful, the arrows are poisonous. If you see blood, you will become a prince. If you scratch your skin, there will be no cure."
Everyone nodded in unison and looked around warily.
The second wave of arrows came immediately, and the distance they shot was obviously a bit far. Many of the arrows could not even touch the side of the carriage.
This is the second arrow team that has not had time to come forward, shooting arrows while moving forward.
Seeing this, the man in brown clothes couldn't help but sigh and said: "Where are these people from? They really disgrace us killers!"
If something doesn't work the first time, will it work the second time?
Everyone did the same thing again, blocking all the arrow feathers, and then prepared to send them back.
However, something unexpected happened this time.
An arrow feather was hidden in an overwhelming arrow net. It wasn't until all the arrows were blocked that it broke through the clothes and shot straight out!
Taking a closer look, these are not ordinary arrow feathers. The arrow body is made of black gold and is covered with sharp barbs. It is clearly the top killer of Wujizhou - the seven-ring deadly arrow specially made by Qijian!
Good guy, here’s the backup plan!
The seven-ring deadly arrow broke through the weakest person among the people and shot straight into the carriage from the front.
The sharp arrow feathers penetrated the thick navy blue curtain and disappeared in front of everyone.
The man in brown clothes felt his mouth go dry when he saw this, his eyes suddenly widened, and he watched helplessly as the life-threatening thing passed under his nose.
Seven-ringed deadly arrows, one shot out, seven separated, and suddenly exploded in front of your eyes, how could you deal with seven sharp arrows at the same time?
However, the next second, the navy blue curtain of the carriage moved, and the seven-ring deadly arrow that had been drilled in flew out intact, without exploding!
Everyone opened their eyes in shock, and saw that the arrow flew faster than when it entered, and made a loud sound as it cut through the air.
Only a "swish" sound was heard, and a man in black fell from the top of the tree not far away. Seven holes were exposed on his chest, and blood was pouring out.
Two people immediately ran over to drag the man over, while the man in brown hurriedly walked to the carriage.
Just as they got closer, they heard the clear and crisp voice inside again, and laughter like silver bells overflowed in an instant: "Feng Luo, if you lose, you lose. If you lose, you have to accept the punishment!"
The man in brown clothes opened the curtain and saw two men and a woman inside. They didn't know what they were talking about at this time. They had speechless expressions on their faces. The woman was just minding her own business.
These three people are naturally Xia Chuyi, Jin Yuanbao, and Feng Luo who set off from the Imperial Master Academy to the Wei family fiefdom.
When he saw this, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that it was lucky that everything was fine, and it made him worry in vain.
But when he thought about it, he suddenly felt that his worries were unnecessary. Not to mention that his young master had no problem protecting himself, but the two people next to him were definitely masters among masters. How could they be jolted by a horse?
No voice?
But at that critical moment, why didn't they make any movement?
"Young Master, what are you..."
Xia Chuyi was smiling evilly at Feng Luo. When he heard the voice, he immediately turned his head and said with a smile: "Yeah, it's Ying Yi. Have all the bad guys been caught?"
The man in brown clothes is Ying Yi.
There are people in this world who want people to die, and there are people who are afraid that others want to kill them. For Jin Yuanbao, who has businesses in all walks of life, including killers and bodyguards, which are extremely profitable businesses, he naturally has to have a hand in it.
There is an organization under him called Black Shadow, which is divided into two parts: Black Wind and Shadow.
Black Wind is a killer who specializes in killing adulterers and avenging their enemies, while Shadow is a bodyguard responsible for protecting important people and treasures. This Yingyi is the leader of Shadow.
At that time, Xia Chuyi specifically asked Jin Yuanbao, asking him what would he do if A found someone from Black Wind to kill B, and B also found someone from Shadow to protect him?
The shadow next to him laughed and replied for Jin Yuanbao: "It depends on who bids the higher price. If A's bid is high enough, then B will pretend that the protection has failed, return the principal, and then pay 20% of the principal."
Just pay compensation. If B bids too much, then the Black Wind people will swallow the money and go back and kill the employer."
"Um? It's okay to say that you can't kill anyone, but why did you kill your employer instead?" Xia Chuyi asked with a pair of eyes wide open, with some confusion.
Ying Yi smiled mysteriously: "Because Black Wind is not allowed to miss."
Xia Chuyi thought about it, and thought that when she was in the underworld before, the top killers in the killer organization were not allowed to miss, as it would affect their credibility.
But she never expected that the seemingly innocent Jin Yuanbao would actually extend his hand to this industry, and she suddenly looked at him with admiration.
Jin Yuanbao was afraid that she would misunderstand something, so he quickly explained: "Heifeng is very picky about his guests and never kills kind and weak women."
Xia Chuyi nodded with a smile: "I know that the employers who have access to the killer organization are not good birds. Except for the people you mentioned, the rest are not good birds either. While you are making money, you are also cleaning up the violence.
Well, it should be praised."
Ying Yi nodded with a smile. After seeing many future young wives raised by his old man at home for his young master, this one was the most pleasing to him.
So Xia Chuyi got along very well with the dozen or so shadows who were traveling with her along the way, and a group of people even treated her as the future young lady.
When Ying heard Xia Chuyi asked him, he immediately replied with a smile: "We are all injured and haven't been caught yet. Doesn't that make us look too useless?"
Xia Chuyi raised his head and looked at the top of the carriage, curled his lips and said, "You have been traveling around the world for so long, and yet you even startled the horse and shot an arrow in, making it seem like you are useful."
Yingdu felt embarrassed for a moment and opened his mouth but no words came out for a long time.
This young lady's mouth is really powerful.
After a while, he cupped his fists at Xia Chu and said, "It's because of our poor protection. Please forgive me, Miss Xia. Can you please tell me who stopped the seven-arrow seven-ring deadly arrow just now?"
?”
Seven Arrows is able to stand firm in the world of killers mostly because of his superb seven-ring life-threatening arrows. But today, he was directly defeated by someone with one move. I am afraid that even if he was not injured, he would be so depressed that he would vomit blood.
Bar.
When Xia Chuyi heard this, he immediately cast a sidelong glance at Feng Luo next to him. The corners of his mouth were slightly raised, with an expression similar to that of a little wild cat who had succeeded.
"Who else could it be? Of course it's someone who lost the game~~"
As she spoke, she shook her shoulders, as if she was afraid that others wouldn't see the proud smile on her face.
Jin Yuanbao next to him sighed when he saw this, with a helpless expression on his face: "I'm really convinced by you. If Feng Luo doesn't stop you, are you really going to sit still?"
Xia Chu nodded: "Of course winning or losing is more important."
Yingyi paused for a long time and didn't understand, and suddenly asked curiously: "What game are you three playing or what kind of bet are you making?"
"I'm playing the one-two-three wooden man. After counting three times, no one can move again, and they can't even say anything. Whoever moves first loses. The loser will be punished.
"
After patiently explaining for Ying Yi, Xia Chu suddenly leaned forward and came towards him, with an expression like a big bad wolf tempting a little white rabbit: "It's very fun, how about next time?"
With us?"
Ying Yi waved his hands in horror, thinking that in the situation just now, they stayed silent in the dangerous carriage just because they were playing a game. Their determination to regard death as if they were home was simply beyond his reach!
If Feng Luo hadn't been willing to admit defeat and block the arrow for Xia Chuyi, would she really have allowed the arrow to hit her without dodging or dodging?
Jin Yuanbao saw that Xia Chuyi was playing with shadows again, and immediately waved him out: "Go and deal with the things outside, and then continue on your way."
"Yes." Ying Yi immediately suppressed the smile on his face and turned around to walk away.
Xia Chuyi hurriedly called her out: "Hey, Yingyi, look for any red grass in the nearby forest, pick two and give them to the horse. You can see that the red in the horse's eyes has faded.
If we leave, I don’t want to be thrown around again."
"Okay." Ying Yi responded, and went to ask someone to pick grass with some shame.
Damn, they've been around for so long, and they've always been the ones to trick people. I didn't expect that this time they were tricked by others, and they haven't been discovered yet. It's really embarrassing!
Shaking his head, he suddenly raised his head and looked inside the carriage again.
Their young lady is really amazing. She always knows what is going on outside even if she stays in there. Within two years, she will definitely be a powerful person who is famous all over the world and throughout the country.
I just don’t know who the man next to me is. If he turns out to be their young master’s love rival, that would be very bad.
Being able to block the seven-ring life-threatening arrow intact was enough to put them beyond their reach.
Sighing, he might as well go and interrogate the injured Qijian and ask who is behind the scenes.
In the carriage, Jin Yuanbao looked at Xia Chuyi happily and said excitedly: "On the first day of junior high school, do you know how to see a doctor remotely? That's amazing!"
"Of course." Xia Chuyi raised the corners of her lips with a proud look on her face. It was as if an invisible tail behind her back was also raised proudly.
In fact, she smelled a faint fragrance in the air. The smell of this kind of horsegrass that can drive horses crazy is not strong. After it is dried and ground into powder, it is basically colorless and odorless. Sprinkle it on the horse's path.
On the road, whenever a horse passes by and a little bit of powder is splashed into its mouth and nose by its hooves, the horse will immediately go crazy.
But what she was a little confused about was how she smelled such a light fragrance? Could it be that after her ears and eyes became sharp, her nose also started to become sensitive?
She didn't usually struggle with questions that she couldn't think of an answer to, so she immediately changed her expression, looked up at Yuan Bao, and said, "Even the killer has come out. Are we about to reach the Wei family situation?"
Jin Yuanbao nodded and said: "Just leave this forest, and the main city of Cangzhou is only half a day's journey from here. I originally planned to arrive at sunset. Now..."
He opened the curtains and took a look at the sky outside: "Now we can only find a small town to rest for the night."
"Okay, let's find a place to rest for the night first. It's best to set up camp in the woods. Anyway, we will definitely meet some cats and dogs soon. There are too many people in Cangzhou who don't want us."
Xia Chuyi waved his hands indifferently, obviously not paying attention to those killers.
Jin Yuanbao had a worried look on his face. Seeing that Xia Chuyi insisted on doing this, he had no choice but to sigh and risk his life to accompany the gentleman: "I'll let them set up the tent and set up the pot for cooking."
"Catch some pheasants by the way. Remember to marinate them with my special spices and grill them until they are golden on both sides!"
The shadows outside the carriage suddenly twitched their mouths when they heard the sounds coming from inside, then silently lowered their heads and went about their work.
Their future young lady is really capable of doing things.
But not to mention, this woman is super capable, not to mention her spiritual power is stronger than them. I heard that she is also the apprentice of the King of Weapons Wei Chifeng and the King of Pills Ye Junqing. Most importantly, she also has good cooking skills.
The meat marinated with the spices she prepared will be so fragrant when grilled!
Therefore, all the shadows obey her, and sometimes people can't figure out whether Jin Yuanbao is their master or Xia Chuyi is their master.
A group of about ten people cooked on the spot and had a feast.
During this period, there was naturally no shortage of people coming to kick the iron plate. When Xia Chuyi asked those masked people why they came so late, she was about to fall asleep.
Those masked men were speechless and angrily yelled at her: I told you not to rush according to the schedule! I am well ambush in front of you, if you don't come, I will have to run over!
Xia Chu suddenly looked guilty: "It seems I was wrong~~"
After a fierce fight, the killers were naturally wiped out. It wasn't that they didn't leave any survivors, but they told their men not to leave any survivors.
Xia Chuyi looked at the group after group of people who wanted to die, and she couldn't bear it: "Why are you sending some crooked melons and cracked jujubes? Aren't you asking them to come here to die?"
Ying Yi rolled his eyes speechlessly at the side: "Miss, don't you know that the top killers in Wujizhou are all affiliated with Black Wind? It is definitely impossible for them to kill the young master, so those people can only hire some second-rate killers
If we are organized, who can be our opponent?"
Xia Chu nodded, as if he understood: "All the masters are here, it sounds so awesome."
Jin Yuanbao frowned slightly, reached out and threw a piece of firewood into the fire, and said: "Actually, not all of them are there. At least the top five on the killer list are all working alone. I also thought about trying to win over
They, but those people have very special personalities and only take orders they like, so in the end I had to give up. They...should not be able to come."
Next to him, Ying San squeaked, still reminiscing about the chicken legs just now. Hearing this, he immediately interrupted: "Actually, it is quite possible that there is another person. If the other party invites him, it will probably be a bit tricky."
Yingyi remembered what he said: "Yes, there is another person we didn't consider. If it is him, he will be fatal."
Xia Chuyi gave him a stir-fried chestnut and said with some annoyance: "If you say half a sentence, be careful of getting struck by lightning!"
