Chapter 137 Silver Needle (2)
The sound came too suddenly, with the sound of horse hooves. Zhu Qingsheng had no time to care about the purple martial arts skills and pushed open the wooden window and looked outside.
I saw a gray horse running quickly on the street without any obstacles, which made the pedestrians around him scattered and shouted in anger. On the horse, a Jinyiwei in a flying fish suit was lying on it, looking like she was asleep, lying softly on the saddle, her head against the horse's neck, and her limbs were hanging softly, without any movement.
The horse rushed around, scaring the pedestrians around him to avoid it in a panic. In a hurry, they could not help but encounter the surrounding stalls and smash the items on the stalls. The stall owner became anxious and grabbed the people to ask for compensation. This made the streets more and more chaotic.
The Jinyiwei above never moved, lying quietly on the verge of the moment.
Zhu Qingsheng knew in his heart that this man was definitely not asleep, but dead.
When the horse ran to the vicinity, Zhu Qingsheng was shocked. This Jinyiwei was Cen Zhengjia, who had been together for two years. He didn't expect that he was fine two days ago, so why did he die now?
Before he could take action, he suddenly saw a figure flashing in the crowd. It was so fast that it caught up with the fast running horse. It held the reins firmly and kept comforting the gray horse. After a few strokes, it stopped the horse.
Zhu Qingsheng saw from a distance that the figure was Zhong Shuidan, but this time there were dust and scars on his body, and he was not as calm as before.
Looking down, Master Sima Yuanji walked out of the inn and looked at Zhong Shuidan in the distance, his face gradually became solemn.
*******
In the guest room, Zhu Qingsheng stood behind his master Sima Yuan and looked at Zhong Shuidan opposite the table.
Zhong Shuidan drank a few cups of tea and seemed to suppress his restlessness. After pondering for a moment, he stood up and bowed heavily to Sima Yuan and: "I'm sorry for my uncle this time, and my nephew is very grateful."
Sima Yuanji still felt puzzled when he remembered the scene just now, and waved his hand and said, "It's nothing, Mr. Zhong, I'll ask you a risk, what happened just now?"
Zhu Qingsheng looked at the former arrogant and elegant Zhong Shuidan, now his clothes were covered with dust and knife marks, and he was exhausted. He also thought that he had a vampire contract, and now there were only two days left. It can be said that fate was at its most dangerous time. He sighed sadly, and his original disgust gradually dissipated.
The muscles on Zhong Shuidan's face twitched twice, and he gritted his teeth and said, "I won't hide it from Uncle Master. This matter will start from this morning. After we sent the bodies of the three father-in-law to the prefect's office, we set out immediately this morning and rushed here. Unexpectedly, after almost reaching the jurisdiction of Jiujiang City, dozens of little thieves rushed out of the hillside..."
At that time, Zhong Shuidan, Chai Hong and Cen Zhengjia rode away on the road. Seeing that they were about to reach the territory of Jiujiang City, Zhong Shuidan's tight heart also relaxed a little. He was caught in the vampire contract and never told the two people behind him, one was that they could not help much, and the other was that they let them know that they, the head of a hundred households, had to use this kind of thing to exchange their lives. While they were worried, they could not help but look down on themselves. Therefore, they didn't say anything, and just said that they had a business in Jiujiang City and they had to deal with it immediately.
The three of them were getting faster and faster. When they turned around at the foot of a mountain, they saw the dense forests on the mountain, the weeds were blown by the wind, and the branches were shaking, as if countless people were hiding in it. The forest was thick and dense, and the scenes in the depths were hard to see clearly.
Zhong Shuidan felt a little uneasy inexplicably. His long-term experience and intuition told him that it was something unusual here. He was about to stop and investigate, but suddenly he heard a loud "rumbling" sound, and the earth also vibrated. Looking up, a huge rock nearly meter high crushed the trees, rolled down from the mountain, and rolled down quickly on top of their heads.
The huge rock came so fast that countless trees were cut off along the way. In less than a moment, they were only a few feet away from them.
Seeing that the huge rock came very fast and was huge, it could not be stopped. In desperation, Zhong Shuidan jumped up from the horse's back, grabbed Chai Hong and Cen Zhengjia and floated backwards.
The mount screamed, and the huge rock had fallen. It immediately pressed Zhong Shuidan's horse into meat sauce and stopped in the middle of the road. The remaining two horses were frightened by this and fled back in panic. Zhong Shuidan and the other two stopped grabbed the reins and stopped.
Before the three of them could take a breath, a scream suddenly came from the mountain. The three of them looked up and saw a group of people in messy clothes rushing down from the mountain. The weapons in their hands were of various types, including big swords, short swords, spears, and double axes...
The three of them immediately understood that they had met the bandits occupying the mountain. They didn't expect that the grand Jinyiwei would be stopped by a group of bandits. The three of them were both angry and funny. They had martial arts skills and were not afraid of them. They simply stood there and saw what tricks they were going to play.
The bandits divided into two teams and surrounded them from both sides. A man dressed up and down came out, waved the steel knife in his hand, glanced at the three of them up and down, and said a few words to the man behind him, nodded as if he had confirmed something, and bowed: "Three people, I offended them, I have no choice but to make a living out of helplessness. Please understand the three of you."
Zhong Shuidan smiled and said, "Do you guys want something? Do you have money? I don't have it here."
The leader said in a deep voice: "It's okay, tell you the truth. Someone spent money and asked me to take the lives of three of you. Regardless of whether you have money or not, all three of you will stay."
Zhong Shuidan and the other two changed their expressions. They didn't expect that these robbers were here to take their lives. It seemed that there was someone instructing them behind them. Zhong Shuidan had been bored and frustrated these days. Seeing that these robbers were here to take their lives, they suddenly became murderous and angry. They gritted their teeth and said, "I would like to ask for advice if I dare to instruct them."
The leader said, "I'm sorry, the rules in the road are not disclosed. Please forgive me. I'll be asking for help."
Seeing that these bandits were just ordinary robbers and had only superficial skills, it was really not worth seeing, but when they heard that they were coming to take their lives, they had already had a murderous intent and sneered: "It's not necessary to forgive me, I want to ask you all to forgive me."
His body flashed and suddenly appeared in front of the leading man. His left hand had already pinched the leading man's neck, held it high, and said in a sequel: "I'll ask again, who asked you to come?"
His martial arts are so high that he is far above these robbers. It is not easy to deal with these robbers. The leader's eyes flashed in front of him and he raised it high. He looked at his cold and ferocious face in front of him, and his neck seemed to be grabbed by an iron claw. He was shocked. He realized that he underestimated him and said in a trembling voice: "I said, I said..."
Before he finished speaking, a silver light came quickly from the woods.
