In the woods far away, on a big tree with lush branches and leaves, two people were standing on the branches.
Cheng Xin stared at the scene in the distance in amazement, and nudged someone next to him who was also jaw-dropping with his elbow.
"It seems that we don't need to help."
Cheng Sen's eyes were dazed as he looked at Cheng Qiuluo's leaving back and spoke haltingly.
"Oh my god, am I seeing things? That sound just now... they all fell down. This is simply a miracle!"
"Shh! Keep your voice down!"
Cheng Xin covered his mouth with his hand and pointed with his chin, motioning him to look down.
I saw a masked man turning over the corpse on top of him, crawling up from the ground with difficulty, covering his severed hand, and staggering away for his life.
This man was the leader of the group of assassins. When he saw the iron lump coming, he pulled the person next to him to block it for him, otherwise, he would be dead!
The man turned sideways and glanced in the direction of the women of the Cheng family. The situation just now emerged in his mind, and a trace of fear appeared in his eyes.
They actually have such strange abilities, and that powerful iron lump...
The news must be passed on to the master as soon as possible!
Suddenly, the hairs on his back stood up for no reason, and his heart felt cold.
"who?!"
As soon as he turned around, a white light flashed quickly before his eyes.
Before he could react, he felt a fishy and sweet taste rising up, then he fell down with his eyes wide open and his hands covering his neck.
Cheng Sen wiped the dagger clean and looked at Cheng Xin beside him.
"There was almost a fish that slipped through the net. What should we do now?"
Cheng Xin patted his shoulder.
"Let's drag him back first, so that he won't be discovered by the old lady and the others."
…
While cleaning up the battlefield, Cheng Qiuyun suddenly discovered that one of the killers had scars on his neck, but she only looked at him for a moment, thinking that it was done by Cheng Qiuluo, and did not think much about it.
While burning the body, Cheng Qiuluo also noticed the wound on the man's neck. She turned her head and looked in the direction of Cheng Qiuyun.
I thought that this person was probably just knocked unconscious by the explosion, and when he woke up he wanted to escape, but was discovered by my elder sister.
The two sisters thought it was a trivial matter and no one doubted it, let alone said it out loud.
On the other side, after counting the casualties and burying the fallen brothers, Wu Meng squatted on the ground, covering his face in embarrassment, and was silent for a long time.
Meng, Cheng Qiuruo, and Cheng Jiuling, mother and daughter, were bandaging the wounds of the injured escort.
After a long time, Wu Meng looked at Old Madam Cheng with red eyes.
"Madam Cheng, please run away quickly. We will pretend we didn't see anything. If we continue walking, it will be even more dangerous."
There were more than twenty of them, and now including him and Feng Shan, there were only four left.
The people above didn't want them to reach Beihuang City safely.
And these escorts will definitely be silenced in the end just like those villagers.
It would be better for us to take advantage of this opportunity and escape on our own.
Feng Shan stood up suddenly and threw the knife heavily to the ground.
"I don't want to do this damn job anymore!"
Old Madam Cheng stood up with the help of a cane and looked at the two of them calmly.
"Do you want to live?"
Hearing this, Wu Meng and the other two were stunned for a moment.
"Who wants to die when they can live?"
Madam Cheng continued.
"If you continue to move forward, you may not necessarily have no way out, but if you disobey my order, you will only die, and your family will also be in trouble."
After hearing this, Wu Meng smiled bitterly.
Yes, now they have no choice but to go all the way.
No!
Suddenly, Wu Meng's breathing became rapid.
Thinking of the scene I just saw vaguely, and the two loud noises...
He stared at the Cheng family with burning eyes.
Perhaps they still have other options.
Wu Meng stood up and bowed respectfully to Old Madam Cheng.
"Please Madam Cheng show us a way forward."
Madam Cheng thought for a moment.
"Write a letter back to Beijing first, saying that we were attacked by bandits on the road, and suffered heavy casualties, and request support."
"We must let the people in the capital know that we are all still alive. Only then will they be more cautious."
"Then find someone to inform your family and leave the capital as soon as possible."
Wu Meng frowned and thought.
"If you want to send a message, you must enter the city first."
Suddenly there was a loud shout.
"Ah—it hurts!"
Hearing what he said, the two escorts covered their wounds, bared their teeth, and shouted heart-wrenchingly.
A bailiff knelt on the ground and begged.
"Captain Wu! Our injuries are too severe to continue on our journey. Why don't we go to the city to deliver a message and heal our wounds at the same time?"
Another escort also joined in with a sad face.
"Yes, Captain Wu, please let us go. We have an 80-year-old grandmother, parents, and a newborn baby to take care of. We don't want to die yet!"
The Cheng family watched this scene coldly without saying a word.
Wu Meng and Feng Shan exchanged glances and wiped their faces.
"Okay, you guys go into the city and report the news."
After saying this, he tore off a large piece of his clothes, used the blood on his wound to write a letter in blood, and finally stamped it with his seal and handed it to the two bailiffs.
Wu Meng looked at the two of them deeply.
"You guys, take care of yourself."
The two escorts held the blood letter in their hands with joy and nodded randomly in response.
"Understood, I understand!"
Looking at the two people running very fast, Feng Shan sighed.
"They probably won't come back."
Wu Meng sneered.
"Brainless things, do they think they are safe once they enter the city? They are simply dreaming!"
Outside the screen, An Luo kept shaking her head, rolling her eyes and starting to complain.
"The dog emperor is concerned about the Cheng family, not you. If he follows the Cheng family all the way and sends them to the place of exile, who would specifically pick on you, just a few minions?"
"Now look what has happened. Isn't this just putting your neck under the knife and asking others to kill you?"
"These two idiots!"
In the live broadcast room, Yu An scratched his little head and blinked in confusion.
[Sister Fairy, what is Silly Tea? ]
An Luo: "!!!"
"puff!"
Upon seeing this private message, Anluo, who was drinking water, spat out a mouthful of water.
"Cough cough cough!"
She checked her phone while coughing violently.
I didn't post any comments just now, how did Zi Zi hear it?
Hearing the movement from her side, Xiao Yu'an hurriedly asked in her heart.
[Is Sister Fairy okay? ]
Anluo glanced at the notification on the homepage, which showed that the upgrade was complete and new features were unlocked. One of them was that in the future, he would no longer need to post barrages in the live broadcast room, but could communicate with his baby directly by speaking.
She replied tentatively.
"I'm fine. I just choked on the water."
[So that's how it is. Fairy Sister hasn't answered Yu An's question yet. What is Shacha? ]
Anluo: ...So embarrassing.
Can't you just forget about this?
How should she explain?
Saying that she blurted out a swear word?
But how could a fairy say swear words?
"Yu An heard it wrong, sister said that the tea at hand was spilled."
[All right.]
After getting the explanation, Yu An stopped worrying about it and continued to stay by his grandmother's side, running around to help pass the medicine.
Seeing that he didn't continue asking questions, An Luo breathed a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, fortunately, I almost led the kid astray.
