Chapter 8 The Assassin

It is almost two hundred miles from Jiangyun Town to Jincheng, and we have to cross two mountains along the way.

Su Yingxiong's caravan did not move very fast, mainly because it had a large amount of goods and stopped and stopped along the way.

At this speed, it will take at least four or five days to reach Jincheng.

Although Li Qi was in the carriage, he didn't feel comfortable at all.

Not to mention the carriages of this era, the wheels were all solid. The mountain road was so full of potholes that the bones were almost falling apart.

Xiao Man looked like she was enjoying herself very much. No matter how bumpy the carriage was, she could always put the pumpkin seeds into her mouth accurately, and she ate them very happily.

As for Zhang Chuang, he seemed to be integrated into the carriage. He swayed as the carriage swayed.

Looking at these two people, Li Qi's heart felt as if he had been hit hard.

In the evening, the caravan stopped in an open space to rest.

Before the car stopped, Li Qi couldn't wait to jump out of the car.

I took two deep breaths, looked at the white snow all around, and moved my body.

At this time, a carriage following behind also stopped, and the people who got out of the carriage were Tu Boshu and his maid Huan'er.

"Brother Li, it seems you rarely travel far away?"

Hearing Tu Boshu's voice, Li Qi turned back and glanced at her: "That's right."

He was a little confused. This Tu Boshu always followed what he was doing. Could it be that he was really too charming?

"I think Mr. Tu often travels far away?" Li Qi asked.

Tu Boshu smiled and said: "That's right, my family has many properties, so I often travel far away from home."

“I wonder what kind of business Mr. Tu’s family does?”

"Herbs, furs, silks... whatever makes money."

"I see."

Li Qi couldn't help but start to make plans. He would go to Jincheng to find a place to settle down first. If it didn't work out, then he would find a job at this groundhog's house?

This is also a way, but we still have to get to Jincheng first.

After chatting with Tu Boshu for a while, the others had already lit a fire in the open space and were preparing to set up camp.

It's basically been like this these past few days. People are on the road during the day, and in the evening people find open spaces to sleep in the wild.

Since Su Yingxiong brought enough food and grass before setting off, everyone didn't complain. After everyone finished eating, they found a place to rest.

The trucks that pull goods are basically flatbed trucks. There is a lot of cargo on the truck. Many people will dig a hole under the truck, put it on the ground with hay, and curl up in it to rest.

As for Li Qi and Su Yingxiong, they both slept in the carriage. Although the carriage was not big, it could shelter them from the wind and rain.

At night, Li Qi had no intention of sleeping and could be said to be a bit insomniac.

He sat in front of the fire, feeling somewhat complicated.

Although he has accepted the reality of his time travel, he is still confused about how to go next and what his plans are.

Before time travel, my goal was very clear, which was to save money for a down payment on a house, marry a wife, and live a stable life.

But after traveling through time, there is obviously no need to worry about the house.

He has already made inquiries and wants to buy a livable house in Jincheng for only a dozen dollars.

As for getting a wife, it is said that as long as you find a matchmaker and have enough money, you can almost get a wife.

I now have a hundred dollars, which means that it is not a problem to buy a house and marry ten or eight wives.

But in this way, I really wasted my chance to live a new life.

Do you want to become an official?

As far as my level is concerned, forget it.

It seems that the only way out is to do business, and I can barely survive in this era.

But what kind of business to do business is a question.

Forget it, let’s wait until we get to Jincheng.

After withdrawing his thoughts, Li Qi yawned and added a piece of dry wood to the fire.

There was a "cracking" sound from the fire. He looked around and found that everyone had already found a place to rest.

Li Qi stood up, stretched out, and was about to go back to the carriage to rest when a black shadow suddenly flashed from not far away.

Li Qi was a little confused and subconsciously asked: "Who is there?"

No one answered him, which made him feel a little scared. There wouldn't be anything weird in these deep mountains and forests, right?

Thinking of this, he hurriedly walked towards the carriage, but before taking two steps, he felt something behind him, rushing towards him quickly.

Gritting his teeth, he turned around and saw a black figure holding a sharp blade, striking directly at his chest!

What the hell!

"Help! Killer!"

After shouting, Li Qi was so frightened that his feet went weak and he sat down on the ground.

A masked man had arrived in front of him. Seeing that the dagger was about to stab him, Li Qi's heart sank to the bottom!

"Qiang!"

The sword that was originally thrust into the wind was knocked out of the direction by a flying knife, and some sparks flashed out.

The man in black didn't stop because of this. After taking two steps back to stabilize his body, he jumped into the air, did a forward somersault, and charged again!

Judging from this posture, he will not stop until he kills Li Qi today.

The sword light was as dazzling as a white rainbow, and it came to Li Qi again!

This time it was no longer a flying knife, but a Mo Dao, which protected Li Qi's vital points impartially and knocked back the sharp sword.

All this happened so fast that Li Qi was a little dazed, but his mind finally calmed down.

His bodyguard, Zhang Chuang, had already appeared in front of him.

Knowing that the assassination failed, the man in black turned around and wanted to escape, but Zhang Chuang rushed forward with a quick stride, held the knife in both hands, spun around 360 degrees in the air, and slashed down!

In the midst of the lightning and flint, the man in black, who was about to escape, stood still as if a immobilizing spell had been cast on him.

Zhang Chuang said two words calmly at this time: "Stay."

As soon as he finished speaking, a gust of cold wind passed by, and the man in black's head fell to the ground, and his body knelt directly in the snow.

Long before, Li Qi felt that the martial arts of people in this era seemed to be extraordinary, and some actions were simply beyond the capabilities of normal people. Now it seems that this is indeed the case.

Zhang Chuang's series of actions just now were not only gorgeous, but also extremely lethal.

It's more exaggerated than the action movies in TV series...

"Master."

Zhang Chuang looked back at Li Qi, who was still sitting on the ground, and shouted.

"I...I'm fine."

Zhang Chuang nodded and used the long Mo Dao to remove the black cloth from the assassin's face.

Through the bonfire not far away, Li Qi found that the face looked familiar.

Isn't this man the beggar who spread something to himself when he traveled through time?

What's going on?

Is it possible that, as a young master in trouble, there are a bunch of people who want to take his life?

Heaven, are you deliberately turning on hell mode for me?
