"In the past two days, seven escort teams from the Fuwei Escort Agency were robbed less than twenty miles outside the city."

"Three teams were completely wiped out, and four teams managed to escape with only one or two good fighters. Father examined the injuries and a top-notch expert took action."

"My father is saying that something big might happen in the next two days, so he invites you to stay at my escort agency for a few days and help Fuwei Escort Agency."

"Here are the remaining three thousand taels of silver."

As Lin Pingzhi spoke, he took out three Mingde banknotes from his pocket.

As the biggest bank in the Dayan Dynasty, it was natural for the little princess to know about it.

She exchanged a glance with Lu Zhiqiu and laughed:

"You are really brave. At this time, I will grab the money and leave. Even your small body can't stop me."

Lin Pingzhi said seriously:

"Of course, both of you are clear-eyed and upright people. We will not judge you by our own standards."

The two girls smiled at each other.

Xu Xianxian's eyes were already burning with fighting spirit:

"The person who came here is not a good person."

"Sister Lu, just stay at home. I'll stay at the Lin family for two days."

"I want to see who is so bold as to kill someone in broad daylight, disregarding the laws of the Great Yan Dynasty."

Lu Zhiqiu secretly complained in his heart:

My little princess, now you remember that you are still a member of the royal family of the Dayan Dynasty and must uphold the laws of the dynasty?

You weren't there when we caught that stupid thief last time... Oh, you did discuss it with Chief Escort Lin and had him handed over to the government, and he's still being held in the dungeon.

He said he wanted to interrogate who the so-called senior he met at the escort agency that night was.

Although this question is destined to have no answer, it seems that Xu Xianxian is indeed quite law-abiding.

Thinking of this, Lu Zhiqiu couldn't help but smile and laughed out loud.

Xu Xianxian frowned and shook Lu Zhiqiu's hand angrily, saying:

"Why, is what I say so funny?"

Lu Zhiqiu quickly shook his head:

"No, no, it's just that I remembered Gao... ahem, the master will be defeated by you. I'm happy for you."

Lu Zhiqiu originally wanted to fool people by saying that she remembered something happy, but then she thought about the disaster that the Fuwei Escort Agency had encountered, and it would be too unkind to say that.

I can only change my words temporarily.

Xu Xianxian was too lazy to argue anymore, so she once again reminded Lu Zhiqiu not to run around for the next few days, and then went to the Lin family with Lin Pingzhi.

But what the two didn't know was.

A guy who had just been warned not to run around was now following the two of them, quietly approaching the escort agency.

Half an hour later.

Xu Xianxian and Lin Pingzhi arrived at the escort agency and met with Chief Escort Lin.

At this time, the Fuwei Escort Agency was already on full alert.

Three second-rate deputy escort leaders at the top level are now gathered in the lobby. Seven teams have been dispatched to patrol and guard the periphery of the escort agency. If there is any abnormality, it will be detected at the first time.

Seeing Xu Xianxian coming, Chief Escort Lin's eyes lit up, then he turned to look at the three deputy escort leaders and said with a smile:

"Look, I really have invited a top-notch expert to help. With two top-notch experts here, the Central Plains' five sects and seven schools can't get out. It can be said that it's impregnable. My three brothers should feel relieved and go out to take shelter for a while, right?"

The three deputy escort leaders looked at each other, and a tall man with a scar stepped forward, shook his head and said:

"Big brother, you saved our lives, so why would you leave at this moment?"

"Brother, please stop trying to persuade me. Even if you break my legs, I will never abandon the Fuwei Escort Agency."

Chief Escort Lin took a deep breath, hesitated to speak, and finally sighed:

"You guys, well, forget it. No one in the escort agency is willing to listen to my advice."

"Okay then, but let me make this clear first."

"Just like I promised Miss Xu and everyone else, if things are impossible, just break through. I will do my best to cover your retreat. Don't fight to the death."

Everyone nodded.

They understood that this was the eldest brother's bottom line. If they did not agree, they would be kicked out on the spot.

However, including Xu Xianxian, they all had a question.

Logically speaking, the purpose of such attacks between forces is to eradicate the enemy completely, and everyone is prepared to die before engaging in battle.

But Chief Escort Lin seemed to still have considerable confidence in their escape, even now instructing them on the secret passages and rooms with traps to block the pursuers...

It’s weird.

Skirt Seven ⊙ (Eight) Wu Si Liu Ling Abandoned Qi

far away.

Lu Zhiqiu quietly observed the scene, deep in thought.

She understood why so many people died in the Fuwei Escort Agency according to the deductions in the Book of the World.

The chief escort leader had such great personal charm that when faced with a powerful enemy, everyone was not thinking about escaping, but instead working together to protect him.

They are all very emotional and sentimental people.

She understood that Chief Escort Lin’s warning to everyone must have been because he guessed that the other party was coming for the Lin family’s “Evil-Slaying Sword Sutra”, which was why he told everyone not to make fearless sacrifices.

Because they are not the other party's primary target, the chance of escape cannot be said to be very high, but it is not completely zero.

The Clouds Open the Way to the King: Chapter 9: Night Battle

Night begins.

When the first ray of light from the full moon shines into the courtyard, it illuminates not only the white dew, but also the warm red.

A dull hum suddenly sounded in the courtyard.

Everyone here is an expert.

Even though they were far away, the sound of a sharp weapon piercing flesh was more familiar to them than their own breathing. How could they not hear it?

Chief Escort Lin flashed to the source of the sound.

Here, there were two corpses lying. Their faces looked normal, but blood was gushing out of their chests. It was obvious that they had no time to react and were killed by a single blow.

He leaned in to check the wound. The murderer used a sword with an extremely thin blade. It was obvious that he was a first-class master who was good at attacking instead of defending and did not care about life and death.

Chief Escort Lin stood up, looked at the escort members who were gradually gathering around him, and said seriously:

"Okay, no more patrol."

"Everyone, please go to the lobby. Let's gather together and avoid being alone."

At this time, he no longer continued to persuade everyone to leave.

The best time to escape is when the enemy hasn't arrived yet or when the fighting is in full swing.

Now that the enemy is on the verge of a major battle, it is clear that they have made sufficient preparations and have placed a close watch on the entire escort agency. Anyone who wants to leave will be suspected of carrying the "Evil-Slaying Sword Sutra" and will be hunted down madly.

In the lobby.

Nearly a hundred people were crowded together, including two first-rate masters, eight second-rate masters, twenty-nine third-rate masters, and the rest were ordinary warriors of mediocre quality.

Seeing that the atmosphere was becoming increasingly depressing, Lin Pingzhi tried to liven it up, but when he thought of the two brothers who had just died, he really couldn't speak.

Today does seem different from usual.

For the first time, this carefree young escort leader felt lost and helpless under the wheel of fate.

Whoosh.

A plum blossom dart flew in and stuck straight on the pillar, with a letter stuck on it.

At this moment, the crowd was like a lit fire barrel, suddenly exploding.

Lin Pingzhi was closest to the dart and was about to reach out to take the letter, but was suddenly stopped by Xu Xianxian.

"Stay away from it!"

Lin Pingzhi did not dare to delay and quickly gathered his true energy at the soles of his feet and retreated more than ten steps.

next moment.

The plum blossom dart exploded silently, transforming into thirty-three short steel needles that shot in all directions.

But thanks to Xu Xianxian's loud shout.

The others also moved away from the dart. After the short needle flew a few feet into the air, it ran out of steam and was eventually easily blocked by everyone.

Lin Pingzhi opened his mouth wide at this moment, feeling a little scared.

If I had really gone to check the letter just now, I would have been shot into a hedgehog by now, right?

Chief Escort Lin broke out in a cold sweat on his forehead. He clasped his fists towards Xu Xianxian and said gratefully:

"Thank you for the reminder, lady."

"I didn't expect that the young heroine has such rich experience in martial arts. Even I have never seen such a hidden weapon."

Xu Xianxian laughed:

"My master told me all this. When he was wandering around the martial arts world, he almost fell victim to this kind of hidden weapon technique."

Chief Escort Lin sighed:

"I've learned my lesson. Next time you see something of unknown origin, never approach it immediately. It's best to test it from a distance first."

"That letter was probably sent by the enemy to attract attention. It actually has no content at all."

As soon as he finished speaking, a sinister laugh came from outside the door:

"The chief escort leader guessed correctly. The letter was indeed fake, but you said you wanted to learn from your experience and not make the same mistake again. I don't think we need to go to all that trouble."

"How about I send you to hell today, so that you can stay away from all the conspiracies and tricks?"

Chief Escort Lin frowned and swung his palm towards the big tree in front of the door, which brought up countless fallen leaves.

Fallen leaves were scattered all around.

A nine-foot-tall, mighty figure slowly stepped out from the fallen leaves, with leaves covering his head and shoulders.

Recognize people.

A deputy escort leader screamed:

"You are Bone Knife Shen Kuang... weren't you already dead?"

Shen Kuang slammed the 70kg sword to the ground and laughed:

"Money can make the devil work, and money can bring people back to life."

"Someone is paying a huge price for your lives, so I'm staying alive for now, so I can finish this job and then I can continue to die."

Shen Kuang spoke with a smile and winked at everyone. His beard twitched with the movement of his eyes, which was quite humorous.

But after hearing this, everyone felt horrified.

Shen Kuang, the master of the White Bone Knife, was a top-notch master thirty years ago, and caused many bloody storms in the martial arts world.

Many of them were probably scared by their families using this person's name when they were young.
