Chapter 359: Protection (Part 4)
"really!"
Duan Wu Gongzi gritted his teeth and nodded, "Indeed, someone sent you to rob and kill us. Could you please tell us who that person is, so that we can understand the truth?"
The bearded man shrugged upon hearing this. "Although I'm kind-hearted and told you some things today, that doesn't mean I have to answer every question you ask. Anyway, you're all doomed today."
"Are you determined to kill me today?" Young Master Duan Wu gritted his teeth and said, "Aren't you afraid that we, the wronged souls, will come and seek revenge on you in the future?"
"Hahahahaha..." The bearded man seemed to have heard a huge joke: "I do this business with no capital. I have too many wronged souls on my hands. Besides, we are paid to eliminate disasters for others. When you get to the Hades Palace, you can ask the King of Hell for an explanation. Every wrong has its perpetrator and every debt has its owner. Don't go to the wrong person to seek revenge."
After saying this, the bearded man and his men suddenly retreated a few steps, waved his hand, and shouted, "Shoot!"
Are you going to shoot them to death with arrows?
But this place is located in the mountain stream, there is no place to hide. The group knew that they would die today. Master Duan Wu's eyes were stern: "Let's fight!"
As he said this, he rushed towards the bandits first. Even if he died here today, it would be a relief if he could take someone with him.
When the bearded man saw Master Duan Wu and his men rushing towards them, he knew that they were going to fight to the death. However, as the arrows from the mountain were about to fall, they did not want to be buried with these people, so they quickly retreated.
However, the expected arrows did not appear.
The bearded man suddenly shouted, "Brothers, shoot!"
Still no arrows were shot down, and the bearded man felt something was wrong. He had ambushed more than 200 brothers halfway up the mountain. Even if some people didn't hear his voice, it was impossible that not everyone heard it.
The only possibility was that something happened to the brothers on the mountain that he didn't know about, and they were unable to shoot arrows at all.
Thinking of this, the bearded man's eyes suddenly became fierce, knowing that someone might be secretly helping these people today. Apart from the brothers on the mountain, there were only a dozen people surrounding them at the foot of the mountain. Even if the other party was not counted as those in secret, there were more than thirty or forty people who could fight in public. If a fight really broke out, he was afraid that his side would suffer.
It’s really hateful. Why didn’t we find out before that there was someone secretly protecting these people?
The bearded man was secretly annoyed by his miscalculation and worried that he would die here today, so he shouted, "The wind is strong, run!"
After shouting, he didn't care about others and ran back first.
But, it was still a step too late!
Several men in black fell from the sky, and after just two moves, they forced the bearded men back. Similarly, the men who were blocking Master Duan Wu were also forced back.
Young Master Duan Wu did not expect that someone would come to his rescue. He was immediately surprised and delighted. However, he did not know the identity and purpose of the person who came. He was careless for a moment and forgot to keep a distance from the bandit.
Suddenly, he saw the bearded man rushing towards him with a ferocious look on his face.
Young Master Duan Wu was shocked, knowing that the other party was going to use him as a hostage in a desperate situation, so he hurriedly tried to retreat. Several guards around him also hurriedly rode their horses forward, trying to intercept the bearded man.
"Ah!" The bearded man screamed suddenly. With the scream, the arm that he stretched out to Master Duan Wu was separated from his body and fell to the ground with a "plop". Immediately, blood gushed out from the bearded man's right shoulder.
"Ah..." The bearded man lost an arm and was in so much pain that he couldn't stand. He covered his right shoulder tightly with his left hand and fell to the ground, wailing.
As for the other bandits, they were all taken care of one by one by the men in black who dropped from the sky, and now they were lying on the ground unable to move.
"Thank you, brave man!" Young Master Duan Wu was able to escape from a desperate situation and breathed a sigh of relief. Although he didn't know where these men in black came from, it didn't stop him from expressing his sincere gratitude.
"It's okay. I was just passing by and wanted to help someone when I saw injustice. No need to be polite." The person who spoke was Huo Er. This time, he was following Huo Xifei's orders to secretly protect Master Duan Wu all the way. Before coming, Yuan Ziyu gave them a lot of sleeping pills, cartilage powder and the like, just to deal with situations like today.
If it weren't for the medicine given by Yuan Ziyu today, it would have been difficult for them to deal with the more than 200 bandits halfway up the mountain with just a few of them.
"No matter what, you warriors saved our lives today, and we must reward you handsomely. I hope you will leave your names so that my Duan family can thank you handsomely in the future!" Young Master Duan Wu clasped his fists in gratitude and said to Huo Er and others.
"No need." Huo Er naturally didn't leave his name. He just looked at the bandits on the ground and asked, "I wonder what you want to do with these people, sir? It sounded like they accepted money and wanted to kill you."
Duan Wu Gongzi was also a man of decisive character. Looking at the bandits on the ground, he said, "I already know who is trying to kill me. I must not let these bandits go. They are the ones who killed me today. I don't know how many lives they have killed in the past."
"Ah!" The bearded man was shocked when he heard Master Duan Wu say this, and he shouted, "Master, please spare my life! Master, please spare my life! We are only doing this for the money. I have offended you all today, and it is because I was blind. I will definitely not trouble you again in the future. Please spare my life."
"Hmph!" Young Master Duan Wu snorted coldly, "If it weren't for the rescue of these brave men, would you have ever thought of sparing our lives?"
When the bearded man heard Master Duan Wu ask this, he knew that he had no way to escape today, and his face turned pale.
"Since you have made the decision, we will not disturb you anymore. We have already dealt with those bandits halfway up the mountain. You don't need to worry." Upon seeing this, Huo Er clasped his fists towards Young Master Duan Wu and left with his men.
"Alas, brave man..." Master Duan Wu hurriedly wanted to call for help, but unfortunately Huo Er and his men left very quickly and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
Young Master Duan Wu had no choice but to give up, but he remembered the kindness in his heart and thought that if they could meet again in the future, he would definitely repay it.
Looking at the dozen or so bandits lying on the ground unable to move, Master Duan Wu showed no mercy and ordered his guards to kill the bandits directly. Then he led the convoy to quickly leave the valley.
Half a month later, Huo Xifei came to Yuan Ziyou's room late at night. After the two of them entered the Qiongjiang Pavilion, Huo Xifei said to Yuan Ziyou, "You'er, Master Duan Wu and his men have arrived safely at the Duan family."
Yuan Ziyou smiled and said, "Brother Xi, this time it's all thanks to you, otherwise I'm afraid that Master Duan Wu and the others would be in trouble."
