Chapter 0018 road encounter
After driving for a while and whipping their horses and whips, they locked up Melty and left the Fragrant Town in the dark.
But no one noticed that when they left, the largest luxurious mansion in the town, the home of Xincha, a powder merchant, suddenly burst into flames.
However, because Xincha was rich and unkind and always bullied the honest townspeople, no one came up to pour a basin of water to put out the fire.
So, in compliance with everyone's wishes, the Xincha family's mansion was burned to the ground overnight without any suspense.
In the morning, outside the wilderness, on the road between the woods, amid a series of clattering sounds, I saw two horses turning their hooves and showing their hands, running at a leisurely pace, coming from a distance.
Yu Guanheng suddenly tightened the reins of his mount. He turned to Melty beside him and said: I heard the sound of water flowing in front of me. Let's go over and drink the horses and take a rest. It's still a long way to the neighboring town.
Well, Melty had been thinking about something on the horse. When she heard what Guan Heng said, she raised her head in confusion: Oh, okay, let's go there.
Melty was drinking water by the stream. Guan Heng handed the filled water bag to the other party. He asked curiously: What's wrong with you recently? You're always absent-minded. Do you think there's hope for revenge? There's something in your heart.
Nervous
Guan Heng, I want to say that before Melty could finish her words, the two of them almost heard at the same time the sound of a speeding carriage rolling down the road not far from the woods.
At this time, the driver slowly pulled the reins and stopped the animal pulling the cart. He heard someone shouting: "Master, please rest for a while. Our horse has been running for several hours and is losing focus."
A very hoarse voice sounded: Well, that's it, but after a short rest, we'd better get on the road quickly and get back to Fragrant Town before noon.
Guan Heng and Melty looked at each other and suddenly felt a little strange. They got up and led their two horses behind the hidden bushes, while they each found a place to hide.
At this time, the other party's carriage had stopped on the roadside. Three strong figures jumped out of the carriage first. Then, one of them opened the curtain of the carriage, revealing a fat man with a full head and a fat body.
Walked down.
Huh, what an unlucky thing. The fat man was panting and wiping the sweat on his head, and said with some complaint: The big man I was waiting for turned out to have temporarily changed his route. He didn't go to the neighboring town, so I made my trip in vain.
The other three people all had weapons on their waists and backs. They were obviously the fat man's bodyguards. One of them, a short and sturdy man, said: "Hey, Mr. Xincha, it's not to blame for not notifying them. I heard that the person who came to deliver the letter has been here for three days."
When I walked near the town, I was knocked unconscious. When I woke up, my cloak was taken away.
Ah, the fat man is Xincha, the bastard Melty hiding behind the tree. As soon as she heard this name that she hated so much, she immediately became so angry that her eyes were red and the veins on her forehead were bulging. She clenched the hilt of the sword and was about to rush out and fight for her life.
Hey, please don't be impulsive. Guan Heng hurriedly gestured to Melty. The girl suppressed the endless anger in her heart, calmed down a little, and huddled there without moving.
Zhuang Dun, Chuck, I will go to the creek to fetch some water to feed the horses. You are here to accompany Mr. Xincha. A tall and thin man said something, casually carrying a wooden bucket, and walked straight to the stream.
The location of this water source is about 40 to 50 meters away from the road where the carriages are parked. The road is thickly covered with bushes and weeds, so it is quite hidden.
Guan Heng winked at Melty, and the two of them suddenly ran into the grass nest and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
The tall, thin man was humming and humming while fetching water from the stream. Unexpectedly, he just glanced at the water and suddenly found someone reflected in the water behind him.
Ah, before the tall and thin man could cry out, Meldy, who had already appeared behind him, raised the sword and put it down with a puff. There was immediately a linear mark on the side of the man's neck.
The red mist suddenly shot out from his neck and dyed the creek red in an instant.
Fellow tribesmen, this is the first one. Melty flicked the red stain on the blade of the sword, and the red beads fell into the stream one after another. Then she slowly wiped them on the opponent's clothes, and she murmured
Said to himself: Then, it’s Xincha and his two other minions.
Melty, hide quickly. Guan Heng was on guard in the low bushes. He growled: It seems someone is coming again. Move faster.
Humerdi moved when he heard the sound, his body turned upside down, and instantly disappeared into the shadow of the trees.
Hey, Shad, why are you moving so slowly? It was Zhuang Dun, a short and stocky man, who shouted loudly: Mr. Xincha is impatient to wait. If you want to get some water, do you still want to take a nap there?
I'm calling you this brat.
Seeing his companion there, lying motionless by the stream, Zhuangdun went over with some annoyance and kicked him on the back: I am deaf when I talk to you.
Shade, who had no reaction, fell directly into the water.
No, everything in the stream was red. Something happened. Qiang looked nervous. Zhuangdun quickly pulled out the sword from his waist. When he was about to turn around, he heard a swish sound and the opponent's attack had already hit the back of his neck.
Ah, there was an evil wind behind his head. Zhuang Dun had no time to quickly parry, so he rushed forward in panic.
What a coincidence, Zhuang Dun happened to fall on top of his unlucky companion, Shad, who had taken the first step.
The heavy sword and the fine steel dagger dug into Zhuang Dun's left and right ribs respectively. The boy was so injured that he was about to scream, but Guan Heng lifted his foot and quickly stepped his head into the stream.
: Gudu Gudu In just a few seconds, this guy has already made no sound.
After walking to deal with the remaining two people, Guan Heng picked up the heavy sword. Melty, who was behind him, picked up the sword on the ground. Now he is holding a dagger in one hand and a sword in the other, because Guan Heng read what he read in the book.
, I briefly taught her a few moves on the elf clan’s double sword fighting methods, and now she feels that holding the double swords is much easier than before.
Chuck, the last bodyguard standing by the carriage, saw Guan Heng and Melty walking out of the woods. However, he found no trace of his two companions. This scene seemed extremely weird.
