Late at night gradually passed, Youzhou City seemed very quiet at this time, like a sleeping child, with only a few sparse lights on, where the breakfast shop was preparing fresh ingredients for the new day, hand-rolled noodles, and hot
There are steamed buns, noodles and thick soup. Under the fragrance, there is a trace of murderous intention brought about by the sinister human heart. It is still dark, but it seems that there is something incomprehensible surging in the darkness.
The night in the early hours of the morning was extremely cold.
The Chu family warehouse, a series of shops on the long street opposite the Chu family in Youzhou, has slowly opened its doors. There are many two-horse carts parked in front of the door, seeming to be waiting for the director's order. Use boxes.
The sealed goods were quickly loaded onto the truck and covered with a thick layer of fireproof cloth. Each truck actually looked the same. This was the result of the Chu family's workers staying up all night, and it was also the beginning of this gamble.
Everyone who was about to go out had heavy eyes. It looked like they had been talking all night long. Several female relatives still had tears in their eyes. Chu Yuexiang, the youngest, leaned in the arms of his mother and second aunt. It was obviously his first time to go away.
This is the first time that we have encountered such trouble when discussing business, and I am afraid it is also the first time for the Chu family.
Qin Junze was holding an iron sword brought by the guard in his hand. He was leaning alone in front of the warehouse door, holding the sword tightly in his hand. It seemed that the uneasiness in his heart was getting worse. He did not say anything to others.
He said that for fear of affecting this plan, he also did not tell them about his decision to leave the Chu family.
Looking up at the sky, the sky is getting brighter with little stars and folk lights.
When it seems bright but not bright, there is always a dark shadow staring at the Chu family in the distance. I don't know what the plan is.
"Drive~~~," followed by the neighing of the horses, all the transport vehicles started off one after another, no, almost at the same time, and galloped away in three directions. In the blink of an eye, it was extremely cold and lonely in front of the warehouse, with only a few tears.
Still hanging in the air.
Wangyue Cliff, the place on the edge of Youzhou that is said to be the closest to the moon, welcomed many uninvited guests today. Qin Junze and Chu Yuexiang were sitting in a carriage, facing unknown dangers. Two young people under 20 were very excited.
Quiet. However, as everyone went up the mountain road, it was still so quiet except for the sound of horse hooves. Qin Junze felt that something was wrong: in the early morning of Wangyue Cliff, the sound of running horse hooves suddenly appeared. It should not be so quiet, at least it should not be so quiet.
There should be a few birds chirping to accuse them of disturbing Chunmeng. Seeing Chu Yuexiang looking at him with hope, Qin Junze had no doubts.
"Hey~," the car suddenly stopped, "Miss, someone seems to have deliberately tied several ropes in front of me to block the road. What should we do?" Chu Yuexiang did not answer, but still looked at Qin Junze. It seemed that she had put herself and Hope
It's all pinned on this younger brother.
"Don't move, I'll go down and take a look."
Qin Junze got off the carriage and came to the front. He looked at the rope tied between the two trees. Next to him, the old guard Kong Lin, who was very skilled in martial arts, dismounted and stood up. He said to Qin Junze: "Based on my experience as an escort.
Look, this must have been set up deliberately. I'm afraid there will be traps such as bamboo thorns or flying arrows, but the impact is not great. The wooden shields we carry should be able to block it, but I don't know if there will be anyone waiting behind.
us."
"Since we are already here, we can't go back. Let's give it a try. Thank you for your hard work, Mr. Kong."
Kong Lin looked at the underage boy and was quite surprised by his calmness. He came to his senses, nodded and ordered everyone to use wooden shields to block the horse's vital parts and himself. Everyone else should pay attention to the surroundings and warn them at any time.
Sure enough, Mr. Kong rode a horse and cut the rope with a long spear. The so-called "hidden weapons" flew from both sides of the car. The old escort was still an old escort. His experience made Qin Junze feel relieved, but he still felt worried.
There was some unclear meaning. Chu Yuexiang nervously grabbed Qin Junze's arm and pressed her body close to him. Her eyes were wide open and she looked at the shoe in fear.
Fortunately, this might just be a trap set to prevent anyone from walking from here. The enemy didn't seem to send anyone to intercept them. It seemed that Qin Junze's plan was mostly successful. He won the bet. Thinking this, he relaxed a little.
The carriage was approaching the top of the cliff. Because it was going up a mountain, the speed of the group of people had obviously slowed down. Suddenly, Mr. Kong's voice came, "Quick, everyone hides in the car. Everyone on the carriage also squeezes in and uses
The fireproof cloth covered the horse, leaving only its eyes open! "Qin Junze hadn't recovered yet, he only heard the sound of a burst of arrows hitting the carriage from above. Fortunately, the carriage was thickened, and this was not a crossbow of a regular army.
Hands, otherwise the thickening might not be able to stop it. The Chu family’s expensive protection measures are not in vain.
The people in the carriage did not move. They listened quietly to the sound of arrows passing by and followed the horses quickly. The sound of arrows disappeared, but the surroundings became brighter. Everyone's thoughts changed, "Fire, hurry up."
Put out the fire!"
Opening the curtains, I saw that many carriage roofs, including those transporting medicinal materials, were in flames. The carriage stopped, and everyone hurriedly rushed to put out the fire. Some people used clothes to beat the fire hard, and some used water. Although it took time, fortunately, no one was injured by the fire.
As well as medicinal materials and people and horses, many horses still have arrow marks one after another.
When the fire was completely extinguished and it was daylight, we ate some food, drank some water, rested on the spot, and replaced the injured horses. It used to be that two horses pulled one cart, but now almost all of them are pulled by one.
Although the horse-drawn cart may not be as fast as before, fortunately, it is close to the top of the cliff, so you don’t have to worry too much about going down the mountain. The most satisfying thing is that no one has come out to rob it so far, and there is no one at the top of the cliff.
Interception, I'm afraid this time it will really be a near miss.
The guards and bodyguards all sighed inwardly, eating big meals with some smiles on their faces, unaware that the darkest danger, even the annihilation of the entire army, was about to come.
On the top of Wangyue Cliff, a dozen thick-backed men were sitting in front of a few big trees with machetes, holding weeds in their mouths and chattering, "You tell me, why do those guys want us to stay here? No."
Are you saying this is the least likely place for them to leave? We have already set up two traps. If someone comes, they will die on the way, and they make us all lie here to feed mosquitoes all night. We are so damn sick!"
"Brother, it will be over soon. I have endured it all night. For the sake of money, please endure it a little longer."
"That's the wages of our brothers. No, when the matter is over, we have to ask them for compensation again. It's so damn unlucky to do such a miserable job! Bah!"
"Young man, I'm resting. It's best not to talk anymore, otherwise I can't guarantee that these people still have the big brother I just mentioned." At this time, a man over fifty years old who was sitting cross-legged alone on the other side spoke.
There was an ugly and disgusting scar on his face from his left ear to his chin. The whole person gave people a beast-like feeling. This man never spoke from the beginning to the end, but when he spoke, a murderous aura seemed to spread, just
One sentence shocked this group of rather ferocious bandits, and they didn't even dare to breathe.
This person is the two killers who paid a lot of money to come to the Chu family last time. They are real seventh-grade masters. The most powerful one in Youzhou City is Mr. Kong, the head of the Fuwei Escort Agency, but he has only just reached the sixth grade.
Realm. Although the Chu family's plan was not discovered, and although most of them were not at Wangyue Cliff, with only a dozen or so people, unexpectedly, there was still a strong man left to guard the top of the cliff.
Qin Junze and his party finally arrived at the top of Wangyue Cliff. Before they could find a place to rest, their eyes met with the villain. The villain stood up and looked at them. He clenched the long knife in his hand and pointed it directly at the Chu family team. Mr. Kong
He raised his head and raised his hands to stop everyone from marching. Except for the people guarding the medicinal materials, everyone picked up their weapons and got into fighting postures. They all knew that a fierce battle was coming. However, Qin Junze's arrangement clearly confused the enemy. There were only
There were about a dozen gangsters, and the Chu family had the absolute upper hand in terms of numbers. The bodyguards, guards, and others totaled more than thirty people.
However, Qin Junze's uneasiness became more and more intense, as if his fate had been tightly grasped by someone, this was the beginning, and he could not escape no matter what.
