Outside the city, the carriage moved farther and farther away, about ten miles away from the imperial capital behind.

Lin Hao immediately became alert and shouted coldly: "Driver, stop!"

"drive!"

However, when the driver heard Lin Hao's voice, he not only did not stop, but instead quickened his pace.

In an instant, the car speed suddenly increased and rushed directly into a bamboo forest.

Lin Hao's face changed, and the Dragon-Devouring Sword suddenly appeared in his hand, and he swung it out fiercely.

Swish——!

The sword energy swept across, splitting the carriage violently in half, and then jumped off the carriage with Xiaobai.

“Ouch!”

The one-eyed driver immediately pulled the reins, then turned around and looked at Lin Hao with a cold gaze.

"Who are you? What is your purpose in bringing me here?"

Lin Hao said coldly, holding the broken sword in his hand.

“Pah pah pah~!!”

The one-eyed car did not answer, but at this moment, strange applause suddenly sounded.

Immediately afterwards, a black figure slowly walked out from the depths of the bamboo forest.

"It is indeed not easy for a blind person to have such sharp reactions."

The black-clothed man's voice was slightly feminine, and his laughter had a sinister feeling.

With the help of Sibao's vision, Lin Hao looked at the man in black who suddenly appeared.

But the other person had a pale face, an oval face, and smoky makeup around his eyes, giving the impression of a sissy.

"Stop talking nonsense."

Lin Hao had a cold expression on his face and asked in a cold voice: "Who are you?"

The man in black laughed sinisterly and said, "It doesn't matter who we are. What matters is whether you are willing to work for us."

Hearing this, Lin Hao's heart sank slightly.

It seems that these guys had planned in advance to bring him to this place.

Moreover, they seemed to know their whereabouts very well.

After all, how come there happened to be a carriage parked at the corner of the street near the palace? I also guessed that he would hire a carriage because the journey to the north of the city was long.

All these actions, like playing chess, had been planned in advance!

This is the case unless someone exposes his whereabouts.

As Lin Hao's mind turned, four faces suddenly appeared in his mind.

They are Qin Yu, Lei Meng, the third prince Yan Chen, and Princess Yan Xinyue.

Because, except for these four people, no one knew that he would go to the north of the city to participate in the second half of the banquet.

Only these four people know his schedule tonight.

Who could it be?

Lin Hao frowned. He didn't expect that he would be betrayed.

As for who it was, Lin Hao didn't have the mind to analyze it at this time.

Now these two mysterious guys of unknown origin must be dealt with first!

"Don't think about running away. In this bamboo forest, besides us, there are many experts hiding."

Seeing that Lin Hao remained silent, the man in black smiled sinisterly and said, "The reason I came to you this time is not to hurt you, but to cooperate with you."

Hearing this, Lin Hao raised his eyebrows slightly and said calmly: "What cooperation? What benefits does it bring to me?"

The black-clothed man raised his lips slightly, then stretched out a finger, shook it slowly and said, "Don't be impatient, listen to me slowly."

"I'm in a hurry, if you have to fart, let it out!"

Seeing the sissy's expression and actions, Lin Hao felt quite disgusted and directly retorted.

The man in black smiled sinisterly and said, "Compared to the important matter we are going to discuss next, it is better not to go to such a meaningless banquet."

Hearing this, Lin Hao's heart sank slightly.

As expected!

Just as he had guessed just now, these guys did know his whereabouts!

Thinking of this, Lin Hao's face turned cold and he asked, "How do you know that I'm going to attend the banquet later?"

Hearing Lin Hao's sudden question, the man in black was slightly stunned, and then he realized that he seemed to have let something slip.

However, even so, what can Lin Hao do to him?

A small student of Tianyan Academy, although he possesses the ultimate talent for cultivation, that is only the top level of talent and he has great potential in martial arts.

Therefore, in terms of strength, before Lin Hao grew up, he was still as small as an ant in their eyes.

"With our abilities, it would be easy for us to track your whereabouts."

A playful smile appeared on the pale face of the man in black.

"Since you are in a hurry, I won't say any more nonsense."

Immediately, he changed the subject and continued, "We want to get information about the eldest prince Yan Peng and his men from you."

"So, if you can join the First Prince's faction, you can get some inside information."

After hearing this, Lin Hao suddenly realized what these guys' purpose was.

It turned out that he was attracted by the fact that the eldest prince and his men appreciated him, so he planned to intercept them halfway.

Simply put, he is to be a spy, mainly to provide intelligence information.

"Sorry, I'm not interested in this. As for the benefits, there's no need to waste your breath."

Lin Hao sneered and directly rejected the other party.

Although he didn't come from a powerful family, he wasn't someone who could be ordered around by others to be a spy.

That kind of position is not only troublesome, but also very frustrating.

Unlike assassins, they can simply send out a team of pet killers to kill their prey and complete the mission in an extremely leisurely manner.

The man in black shook his head and said, "Although I am disappointed with your choice, I can give you five minutes to reconsider it."

"Don't let me down again this time."

The man in black seemed to be accustomed to this kind of rejection, and his cold voice carried an undisguised threat.

As soon as the words fell, dark shadows suddenly emerged from the bamboo forest in the area and directly surrounded the open space.

Such a lineup blocked all of Lin Hao's escape routes.

Lin Hao frowned slightly. It seemed that this guy had come here well prepared and was determined to win.

He discovered that the warriors around him all had powerful auras and their strength was at least at the level of level five fighters.

As for the sissy man in black, he should be a level 7 warrior.

If it were an ordinary person, the deterrent effect of such a lineup would probably scare them into submission and obedience on the spot.

However, for Lin Hao, who has many trump cards, it is not so easy to use such tough measures against him!

The man in black was very patient. He stared at Lin Hao with a playful look and waited quietly for the five-minute consideration time limit he had set.

In this way, time passes by every second.

In the bamboo forest shrouded in night, Lin Hao stood there, remaining silent.

Next to him, Xiaobai opened his palms, and each claw on his fingers shone with sharp cold light under the moonlight, ready to strike at any time.

The atmosphere at the scene seemed to freeze at this moment...
