Wan Jinlan's heart was pounding.
The frustration I had been feeling for the past few months was ignited when I saw such a powerful firearm.
I just don’t know if the gold-wire soft armor on the two of them can withstand the attack of this new type of firearm?
The old man Lu Yuan was hunched over, but he looked very calm. When the attackers rushed towards him, he didn't even move an inch.
Wan Jinlan and Xiao Feng rushed over, protecting Lu Yuan on the left and right.
Wan Jinlan was shocked when he saw the other people with the surname Lu taking out firearms from their waists.
"Relax, what they have will explode in one go, and the custodian will be crippled, so they won't use it easily."
When Lu Yuan's words reached the ears of the two men, Wan Jinlan did not dare to completely relax. Didn't he see that those people were wearing thick leather gloves on their wrists, so there was no guarantee that they would not take risks.
Her worries were right. When she was about to deal with these people, a long silver-black spike shot towards her.
Although it is not a firearm, the danger of hidden weapons that can injure people is still immeasurable.
These people in this isolated mountain village are not that simple at all.
Wan Jinlan's weapons are bracelets and anklets. For convenience, the two chains are wrapped around her arms, one on the left and one on the right. When she swings them, no one can get close to her.
The chain was swung upwards and wrapped around the branch next to her. She used the force to push against the tree trunk, loosened the bracelet on her wrist before falling, and then leaped up to land in front of the woman.
The few of them didn't dare to fire their weapons, and they took out their modified crossbows and shot a series of uniquely shaped long spikes at her.
Xiao Feng came closer and restrained these people. Wan Jinlan's pressure was greatly reduced, and he finally strangled the only woman's neck with the chain in his hand.
"Stop it, or I'll kill her."
It can be seen that the guards arranged by these people are not very powerful. Their strength is about the same as that of ordinary soldiers in the army, and is far inferior to the group of assassins yesterday.
The eight men relied on their numbers and the superiority of their weapons. They worried about being injured by firearms, and they were also concerned that the older man's superior firearms would be aimed at them.
Wan Jinlan was worried that the sound of the firearm would attract the escorts and assassins.
The woman's status among the eight men was slightly higher, and as expected, once she was captured, the others stopped resisting. Someone tried to escape, but Xiao Feng kicked him to the ground and tied him up with his belt.
Lu Yuan came closer and looked at his niece. "I'll ask again, how did my daughter-in-law and grandson die?"
The woman's face turned pale and she said nothing.
Lu Yuan pointed the firearm in his hand at the much younger man next to him.
There was a light "click" sound, and the woman's expression tensed, her brows raised. "Uncle, if you dare, I will peel off your skin and pull out your tendons."
With a "bang", a hole appeared on the young man's shoulder.
Wan Jinlan's eyebrows jumped when he saw the power of this firearm up close.
If this thing is aimed at a person's heart, wouldn't the person be killed instantly?
"Mother, mother, save me." The young man burst into tears, and his cries of pain echoed through the mountains and forests.
The woman screamed frantically, "I'm going to kill you, I'm going to kill you!"
Lu Yuan pointed the firearm at the other men, "Who said that? I guarantee he'll survive."
Some people looked at each other, some really didn't know, and finally two of them spoke in unison towards the woman.
"It was Master Yuan who took a fancy to Wei and forcibly took her into his possession. Lu Xin accused Wei of seducing Master Yuan and poisoned her to death."
At this moment, the woman, Lu Xin, retorted: "I didn't poison that bitch, she committed suicide out of shame."
A man whispered, "Whether it's true or not, God is watching. You even spared your own clan members and nephews. You are as vicious as a snake."
"Bang"
The firearm in Lu Yuan's hand ended Lu Xin's life.
Lu Xin's son Yuan Kang begged for mercy in fear, "Please let me go, I don't know anything, it was all my mother who did it, it has nothing to do with me..."
Yuan Kang burst into tears.
Lu Yuan looked at the others. They all hunched their necks, and one of them said boldly, "Second Uncle, we are all family. We just don't want our things to be lost outside. We came here to kill you today just to take you back..."
Seeing that the old man Lu Yuan's expression had relaxed, Wan Jinlan said, "Once this woman dies, these people will go back and report the news. You will never have peace in the future."
After Wan Jinlan finished speaking, his expression darkened.
She found that her heart had become much harder, as if she was so cold-blooded in her bones that she could easily disregard the lives of several people.
Wan Jinlan simply turned around and said no more.
Xiao Feng held her hand and wrapped it tightly.
In the end, Lu Yuan still softened his heart and did not take the lives of many people, but the long iron nails shot out by the mechanical crossbow hit the legs and feet of several people.
To be on the safe side, Xiao Feng knocked all of them unconscious.
Wan Jinlan picked up the crossbow and firearms, and also picked up all the nails with strange head shapes that had fallen on the ground.
Lu Yuan continued to move forward.
"Why are you two here?"
Lu Yuan looks old, but his legs and feet are very nimble.
Wan Jinlan said bluntly: "I fled here for my life."
"If you want to seek revenge, the two of us can help you."
Xiao Feng did not object.
What they wanted was the technology to mass-produce firearms, not just a few half-useless ones that could explode at any time.
The two of them talked about the transaction clearly, and Lu Yuan naturally understood it.
When Lu Yuan returned to the thatched hut and saw the firearms on the stone bed, he had expected this to happen.
Seeing this new type of firearm but not taking it away means that he either didn't recognize it or he knew clearly that he had an ulterior motive, so he was still an upright person.
"My enemy is dead, so I don't need your help anymore."
Xiao Feng said: "The old man should be from the Lu family, a prominent family in Tanzhou."
Lu Yuan was not surprised that Xiao Feng guessed his identity. After all, he had revealed a lot when he was taking revenge before.
Wan Jinlan asked in confusion, "I heard that person say earlier that everything was caused by that Mr. Yuan. Don't you want revenge?"
Lu Yuan glanced at her, his eyes wise yet cold, "Young man, don't be so murderous. Of course he's dead, that's why I'll let him go."
Wan Jinlan's mouth curled up slightly, a man who doesn't seek revenge is not a gentleman!
"Go wherever you need to go now, but don't go with me, old man. Otherwise, the firearm in my hand will show no mercy."
Wan Jinlan held the unreliable firearm in his arms and pursed his lips.
It was just a chance encounter, so it's normal to have a falling out afterwards.
Xiao Feng clasped his fists and bowed, "Sorry to bother you, old man. We will leave now."
Lu Yuan was a little surprised. These two people actually gave up just like that?
"The village is full of families with the surname Lu. If you two want to leave, go around here and head west. After crossing the mountain, you will see a village. If you want to leave here, go to the first house at the east end of the village. His eldest son, Yin Wen, runs a security company and has some connections. If you tell me, he might be able to help you."
"My name is Lu Yuan."
After Lu Yuan said this, he handed the firearm in his hand to Wan Jinlan.
"I am a man of my words. This is my reward for you two."
Wan Jinlan originally thought that this old man was difficult to approach, but unexpectedly, before they parted ways, he pointed out a way out for the two of them and kept his promise by giving them the more advanced firearms in his hand.
Yes, if it were her, those people with the surname Lu would have had no chance of survival, but this old man saved their lives, which shows that he is a person with a bottom line.
"Girl, it's inconvenient to show yourselves as a woman when you go out. If the wooden hairpin on your head falls off, it will be difficult to find it back."
Wan Jinlan was startled by Lu Yuan's words and took off the wooden hairpin from her head. "Master Lu, do you recognize this hairpin?"
This was given to her by the Queen Mother.
Lu Yuan did not answer, "I still have to clean up my house, so I won't see you two off."
The two could only look at his back and clasp their fists in thanks, saying, "Thank you very much. We will both remember this kindness."
