Chapter 221 He Misses Them Very Much
The sound of soles of shoes crunching through the snow was approaching.
Gao Chong opened his eyes and tried to look up. In his sight was a man in black wearing a silver wolf mask. He was tall and slender, standing there quietly with his hands behind his back. A silent sense of oppression emanated from him.
Gao Chong moved his cracked lips and chuckled, "This knight is the one the bandits mentioned who came to hunt the Thirty-Three Peaks. He's from the imperial court, right?"
The masked youth pulled out a token from his lapel. It was a black wooden token with a gold-painted character in the middle. It read, "Wei Li, Senior Cavalry Commandant of the Changjing Yulin Guard. I apologize for the incident at the Thirty-Three Peaks. This was an accident."
"An accident? Sorry?" The more aggressive escort immediately cursed, "Does your simple apology even account for the twenty or so escorts who died in our agency? Since you're from the imperial court and you were there when the bandits attacked, why didn't you immediately understand everything? You're clearly deliberately using our agency as cannon fodder to eliminate future trouble while saving your own men!"
Wei Li chuckled. "The bandits are already mad with blood. Whatever I say, whether I explain or not, you still won't be able to escape unscathed. Besides, I'm a general of Dai Viet. I'm protecting the people of Dai Viet, not the people of Da Rong. Besides, I've stayed behind to help, so I haven't completely abandoned you."
As he spoke, his black eyes behind the mask swept lightly, his gaze sweeping inconspicuously over to the young man and girl under the dead tree over there.
The two of them seemed not to have heard his words and did not react at all. The girl only glanced in this direction faintly, that was all.
Wei Li turned his gaze back and said, "Now that we have left the ancient road, I have some important matters to attend to, so I will say goodbye."
After he finished speaking, he left, leaving the remaining escorts so angry that they died on the spot.
Someone who was "unconscious" started pointing his fingers again: It turned out to be that kid Wei Li!
Tianbao: Yeah.
Bai Yu: But what he just said should be able to completely dispel Gao Chong's suspicion of us.
Tianbao curled up his fingers and held them down, poking them back and forth in annoyance.
In the dead woods, Wei Li killed almost all the horse bandits who were chasing her. When Gao Chong and his men arrived, his eyes darkened. He suspected that they had deliberately released flares and joined forces with others to plot against them.
Now that Wei Li has revealed his identity as a court official, he can indeed dispel his doubts.
There is no connection between the newcomers of the escort agency and the military officers of the Dai Viet court.
The surrounding escorts were so angry that they were still cursing. Tianbao looked down at the "seriously injured" man. His face was fake pale, but his lips were really white.
She lowered her eyelashes to hide the expression in her eyes, "Who asked you to block the meteor hammer?"
At the last moment of the fight in Gudaoli, the leader of a group of fierce bandits attacked Gao Chong's back with a meteor hammer.
Gao Chong was already seriously injured at that time. If he was hit by the attack, Gao Chong would definitely die.
The others were trapped and unable to rescue him. It was Bai Yu who rushed forward to block the attack for Gao Chong, saving his life.
Bai Yu tilted his head slightly towards the girl's shoulder to avoid being seen from outside.
He didn't answer, but just curled the corners of his mouth slightly.
He knew Tianbao too well. If he didn't rush forward, Tianbao would block the attack for Gao Chong.
They were the ones who set off the signal flare. Regardless of whether there was any involvement from the imperial court, they would be severely punished for their mistakes when they returned to the escort agency.
Only when the merits and demerits offset each other can you stay in the escort agency and proceed to the next step.
What’s the point of high impact?
He saved Tianbao.
Tianbao leaned against the tree trunk, a burning pain spreading from the palm of his hand, and his whole arm felt a little weak.
She let the boy lean on her shoulder and stared into the distance without moving.
When Bai Yu rushed out, she hurriedly pulled the iron chain of the meteor hammer from behind, leaving blood marks on her palms.
Originally, she had planned to rush forward to block the final blow, so that the space could help to absorb the force and the injury would not be too serious.
...Tsk, one or two of them always ruin her plans.
…
Wei Li returned to the Twenty-Three Peaks, and the Yulin Guards were still hiding there, waiting for orders.
"Captain, there was such a big commotion last night. Since the battle has already started, why don't you let us help you and directly flatten the Thirty-Three Peaks?" said Xing Zhang, the deputy commander of the Yulin Guard.
Wei Li's voice was calm. "Back then, the bandits from the Thirty-Three Peaks had gathered together. Calling you out would only have increased our casualties. Now that the dust has settled, we can just clean up the mess. The Thirty-Three Peaks also suffered heavy losses, and the remaining ones are just remnants, so it will be much easier to deal with them."
"Yes! We'll do it right away!"
Dozens of Yulin Guards rose up and moved. Wei Li walked silently at the end and turned his head again to look towards the exit of the ancient road.
After he returned to Beijing, he reunited with Uncle Duan Dao. Although he could not go back to the place of exile to visit Grandpa Su and Grandma Su for the time being, he gradually learned about the news of the exile place and Tubei Village from Uncle Duan Dao.
Knowing that some of my former friends have their own experiences in cultivation, I am very happy for them.
This unexpected encounter with Tianbao and Bai Yu on the ancient road was a great surprise to him.
He missed them very much, always.
It’s a pity that we can’t sit down and have a good chat.
He pursed his lips and took another step with a firm gait.
Once he finishes what he wants to do, there will come a day when he will show his true face again.
He also believed that no matter how long he was away, the Xiao Su family in Tubei Village and even his mentors and friends would never forget him.
…
When I returned to Darong Xindu, it was also March.
The ice and snow in the entire Xindu melted, and the alleys, walls and corners of the courtyards were covered with new green.
There was no joyful atmosphere in Xinyuan Escort Agency this time.
The boss Miao Zheng sat in the hall of the escort agency with a very gloomy and cold expression. In one trip of delivering the convoy, he had lost more than 20 of his best men.
You should know that the total number of bodyguards in the entire escort agency is only more than 200.
One tenth was gone in an instant.
The price is too high and too heavy.
Miao Qingyi was also in the hall, crying bitterly, stamping her feet and cursing, "Dad, you must severely punish Shi Yu and his sister! If they hadn't caused trouble, how could so many people die in the escort agency? Brother Xu Yang wouldn't have never come back! So many lives have been lost, their deaths are not worth it!"
Gao Chong sat below the chief seat, his injuries still unhealed. His breath was uneven, and he coughed and wheezed as he spoke. "Boss, although Shi Yu and Jiu Er committed serious offenses on this trip, they did a great job protecting their fellow disciples. If they hadn't risked their lives, I might not have been able to return this time. The remaining escorts also relied on their help. There are punishments for offenses and rewards for merits. I think they are both strong-willed and loyal, and they are promising talents. I hope that the boss will take this into consideration when deciding on rewards and punishments... They are the only two new members of the escort agency. If you want to kill them or expel them from the agency, what will happen?"
He didn't say the rest of the words, but the boss could understand his meaning.
If these two people are also killed, there will be no one in their escort agency who can be recommended to Guiyi Pavilion this year.
Compared with other places responsible for supplying talents to the cabinet, it is one level lower.
The boss's face grew darker, and the sounds of crying and cursing in his ears were annoying. He sternly rebuked his daughter and frowned, "I need to think carefully about this matter. No matter what, I must give the rest of the escort agency a convincing reason before I can explain."
