Xu Wenrong put away his weapon and said to Xie Yanyan, "Sister, I have prepared the carriage. Let's go first while it's cool."
Xie Yanyan knew it well, but he didn't expose it and said obediently, "Okay."
Xu Wenrong led her through the grove. There was a carriage parked at the edge of the woods, but it was not the one Xie Yanyan had just ridden in.
The important things have already been moved.
"That car was given by Lord Yu. We don't want it, so we'll return it to him." Xu Wenrong explained in a concealed manner.
Xie Yanyan accepted the advice readily, without asking, saying or inquiring, and got on the carriage obediently. Xu Wenrong placed his Tang sword on the carriage, put on a farmer's big straw hat, covered his face with a black cloth, and drove the carriage away.
Zhou Shaoyu, Xie Anfeng and Zhou Jin walked to the front yard. Xie Anfeng drove the carriage that Xie Yanyan had ridden in the morning.
Yushanhe and all the officials were outside the inn, making a grand scene.
Zhou Shaoyu and his group packed up and came out of the inn.
The common people exclaimed.
These people are really eye-catching.
Although Xie Anfeng, who was sitting in the front of the carriage, was wearing coarse cloth clothes, he could not hide his solemn expression. Beside him was a long sword with a sheath. He was not a coachman at all, but a general who had just taken off his armor on the battlefield.
On the left, there is a young man standing on a tall horse, with a figure as straight as a pine tree, a vigorous aura like the scorching sun, and a pair of eyes as bright as cold stars under his sword-like eyebrows, noble and masculine.
Especially since he had a big knife on his back that gleamed coldly in the sunlight, just one look at it made him feel frightened and he couldn't help but want to run away.
Such a dazzling young man, so handsome and so agile, confused the hearts of all the young ladies in Chang'an.
There was also a young man riding the horse on the right, wearing a long sword on his waist that was exactly the same as the groom's, and there was no warmth in his eyes.
The curtains of the carriage were quietly hanging. Everyone knew that Miss Xie Yanyan, who helped them control the locust plague, was in the carriage, and everyone wanted to see what she looked like.
Yushanhe looked at the quiet carriage and smiled.
Xie Yanyan is unruly, cold, and intolerant of these red tapes. It is normal for her not to want to deal with people.
"Miss Xie, Miss Xie"
"Goddess, Goddess"
Amid the cheers of the people of Chang'an, Yu Shanhe led the officials of Chang'an County to escort them ten miles out of the city. Zhou Shaoyu said to him, "Master Yu, please go back!"
Yu Shanhe looked at the group of people who were quickly leaving and sighed, "The innkeeper said that Miss Xie can actually make ice in the summer! I wonder when we can invite this goddess back again."
Zhou Shaoyu and his group left the city in a high-profile manner. People on Chang'an Street saw them, including the mercenaries.
The person who accepted this task was called Mu Liu.
Mercenaries are divided into 10 levels according to their combat power, with level 10 being the highest level, and one of the best among the Sixteen Kingdoms today.
Mu Liu is level seven.
In the Former Qin Dynasty, ordinary generals were no match for him.
Originally, the Chameleon who was dispatching the order was planning to send a level 5 killer.
To kill a girl, who was a fugitive at that, Chameleon felt that a level five killer was enough.
But Mu Liu happened to be free, and the 20,000 taels of silver were too easy to make, so Chameleon was given to Mu Liu, and Mu Liu took out 40% and gave it to Chameleon.
No matter how unethical the mercenaries were, they were unwilling to kill people in the streets in broad daylight. Mu Liu originally arranged for the employer to lure people to the Fuhai Inn, find a quiet room to kill Xie Yanyan with a knife, but Xie Yanyan did not fall for it, so he decided to kill him on the road.
It is easier to kill someone on the road as there is no need to cover your tracks. Just cut off the head and hand it over to the employer, and the mission is completed.
When he learned that they were going through Hanguan, he set up an ambush 30 miles outside the city, on the road heading towards Hanguan.
Because of his arrogance, he also brought a third-level younger brother with him to watch how he could take people's heads effortlessly.
Watching the four men galloping towards us from afar, the younger brother was a little worried: "Sixth Master, there are too many of them."
Mu Liu licked his lips and said, "What are you afraid of? Look, Master Liu is offering a buy one get three free offer today."
There's no risk in licking blood from the tip of a knife.
He rode out, holding the iron knife across his chest, looking at Zhou Shaoyu and his group, and shouted, "Is that Miss Xie Yanyan in the carriage?"
The three of them stopped their horses and Xie An responded, "Who are you? Why do you call me by my name?"
Mu Liu raised his chin and said, "Someone offered 20,000 taels of silver for Miss Xie's head. I'm sorry."
As soon as he finished speaking, Zhou Jin said, "Why are you nagging at this fellow? General Xie, I'll go kill him!"
Xie Anfeng said: "He wants to kill my daughter, I will kill him with my own hands."
Zhou Shaoyu said: "Leave it to me, I can kill him with one knife."
Mu Liu was so angry that he was stunned. What the hell, how could this be tolerated? I haven't even killed you guys yet, but you guys are rushing to cut off my head?
"Don't worry, I'll take your heads one by one, all of them..."
Before the word "have a share" came out of his mouth, Zhou Shaoyu had already galloped over, and pulled out the Yumo Knife from his back with one hand. A cold light flashed, and an arc was drawn. With a crisp "click" sound, Mu Liu hurriedly took the ring-handled iron knife to block it, but the knife broke, and the man was cut in half.
The broken section of the waist was neat and tidy, smoother than a mirror, and no blood spurted out at the moment it was broken.
Half of Mu Liu's body fell to the ground, while the other half was still sitting upright on the horse.
Blood immediately spurted out like a fountain clearing away the obstacle.
Mu Liu's horse was so frightened that it let out a whimper and ran away like the wind.
Mu Liu dropped the upper half of his body to the ground and shouted, "Good knife!"
Zhou Shaoyu spurred his horse into a circle, swept past like a gust of wind, and slashed his head with his backhand. Mu Liu's eyes were still moving.
In just a moment, Mu Liu’s head and body were broken into pieces and he died!
The younger brother who came with him was so scared that he turned around and ran away.
"Stop," Zhou Shaoyu shouted.
The third-level junior was so scared that he knelt down and begged for mercy: "Master, I'm just here to exercise."
"Tsk! Take this man back with you, find a box, put his head in it, and have someone send it to King Xi."
The younger brother stammered, "What, what do you mean?"
"Go back and think about it carefully."
Zhou Shaoyu watched the third-level younger brother take Mu Liu away, and asked Xie Anfeng: "Let's go a little further and see if there are any more desperate people coming up."
Zhou Jin frowned and said, "Master, someone is following us."
"Heh, follow me!"
The three of them drove towards Hanguan, with smoke and dust billowing.
Chu Xiwang followed all the way. He used light skills, unlike Zhou Shaoyu and the others who rode horses to rely on external forces. So when he saw with his own eyes that Zhou Shaoyu killed Mu Liu more easily than killing an ant, he knew that his trip was useless.
After following for a while, he stopped following.
His martial arts skills are far superior to Mu Liu's.
Xu Wenrong was not there, and there was no sound in the carriage.
Xie Yanyan escaped and must have left with Xu Wenrong through another route.
Chu Xiwang felt a little frustrated.
He had no idea of her plan.
As he left, Zhou Shaoyu grinned and said to Xie Anfeng, "It seems that the mercenary army is not going to take action. Turn around and go to Yaoguan."
The third-level younger brother who followed Mu Liu wrapped up Mu Liu's head and body in a bundle and took him back. He exaggeratedly said that Zhou Shaoyu's martial arts were like Lu Bu reborn and Xiang Yu possessed.
After hearing this, Chameleon sent a message to his employer: "If you want to kill Xie Yanyan, you need to pay an extra 100,000 taels of silver. Otherwise, the order will be void."
