"Young Master Zhang, long time no see." Han Xiao walked out leisurely, as if this was not a deep mountain forest, but the back garden of the Han family.
Han Xiao's sudden appearance scared everyone, especially when Han Xiao actually walked to Baihu's side.
Zhang Shaoqi's jaw dropped, and he looked at Han Xiao in horror: "You...are you a human or a ghost..."
This left Han Xiao speechless. He had already stood up, so why did these people react like this?
Li Cui'er's eyes widened. Wasn't Han Xiao in another cave? Why was he here? Doesn't this mean...
Li Cui'er looked at Han Xiao in despair, unable to conceal the self-blame in her eyes, and grabbed Yan Hu's shoulders tightly with her hands.
Yan Hu was grinning in disbelief after being caught by Li Cui'er. He didn't know what was going on. No one had expected that Han Xiao was actually here.
I just hope the Han family can find this place soon.
Otherwise they would probably all die here. Yan Hu carried Li Cui'er on his back and became fully alert.
Han Xiao chuckled: "Master Zhang is really good at joking, but thanks to Master Zhang, I almost became a ghost."
As Han Xiao spoke, his voice became gloomy. He clenched his fists, and the wound on his shoulder began to hurt because of the force exerted by his palms.
Han Xiao didn't care about the pain at all, he just looked at Zhang Shaoqi with cold eyes. It was because of him that his softness had to suffer so much. Han Xiao wanted to kill him immediately.
Zhang Shaoqi also calmed down at this time. Seeing that it was really Han Xiao, he breathed a sigh of relief, but his face looked a little ugly. Han Xiao and this white tiger were really difficult to deal with. They didn't know why the white tiger didn't eat Han Xiao?
Could it be that Han Xiao had some magic that could make this white tiger obedient? The people who followed Zhang Shaoqi here were basically a local mob. Most of them had heard of the legend of the white tiger in the mountains, but had never seen it with their own eyes.
Now Han Xiao and Bai Hu were standing right in front of them. It was good enough that they didn't kneel down, but their legs kept shaking.
Zhang Shaoqi knew that now was a good opportunity to catch Han Xiao. If he escaped again, it would be difficult to catch him. As long as he could catch Han Xiao, Ruan Zhu would definitely not be able to escape.
Zhang Shaoqi then shouted, "Han Xiao, I don't want to be your enemy. As long as you hand over Ruan Zhu, I will let you go."
Han Xiao narrowed his eyes to hide the murderous intent in them, and leaned against Dabai with a playful smile: "Oh~ is that really the case?"
Dabai even moved a little closer to make Han Xiao feel more comfortable.
Everyone looked over. Zhang Shaoqi's face turned pale and he gritted his teeth as he said, "That's right. I have no grudge against your Han family. As long as you hand over Ruan Zhu, I can guarantee your family's prosperity and wealth. What's more, he is just a boy. If you like beauties, I can give you as many as you want."
Zhang Shaoqi kept telling Han Xiao about these advantages. Han Xiao reached out his left hand and scratched his ear. "Really? I think He Xiangdi is great. I wonder if Master Zhang could be generous enough to give up your fiancé to her?"
Everyone present knew that Zhang Shaoqi had a close relationship with County Magistrate He, so Han Xiao's words were undoubtedly an insult to Zhang Shaoqi.
Yan Hu lowered his head and gritted his teeth to prevent himself from laughing out loud. This Han Xiao really was unwilling to suffer any loss.
Zhang Shaoqi was furious. "How dare you, Han Xiao! I told you not to refuse a toast and then drink a forfeit. Since you are so stubborn, don't blame me. Someone, kill them!"
After saying that, Zhang Shaoqi carefully took a step back and let the mob take action.
But this group of people came to arrest Han Xiao for money. They originally thought it was a very easy task. No one expected that they would have to risk their own lives. They looked at each other, and no one dared to take the first step.
Han Xiao was amused by this situation and laughed out loud: "Master Zhang, it seems that these minions of yours are not yet fully trained."
Zhang Shaoqi kicked someone who was closest to him and said, "Hurry up, or I'll kill you all too. If you can kill Han Xiao, I'll give you a big reward!"
There will always be brave men when there is a big reward. Many people were tempted, but they held their weapons tightly, hesitating and not daring to move forward.
Dabai also took an attacking stance, and his growl spread throughout the entire forest.
Han Xiao stood up and gripped the dagger tightly in his hand, staring straight at Zhang Shaoqi. He wanted to find an opportunity to kill Zhang Shaoqi today.
Unfortunately, Zhang Shaoqi was only protected by six people. Han Xiao looked around and had no choice but to give up this plan.
Han Xiao saw out of the corner of his eye that Yan Hu was still carrying Li Cui'er on his back. He had an idea and could only let Li Cui'er and Yan Hu escape first.
Han Xiao patted Dabai and said softly, "Dabai, go ahead."
Dabai couldn't wait any longer and jumped straight into the crowd. The scene immediately became chaotic. Seeing that the situation was out of control, a few desperate criminals could only grit their teeth and run towards Han Xiao.
They just don’t believe that if they can’t beat the tiger, they can’t kill a “weak scholar”?
Han Xiao sneered at the people coming over. These people were much easier to deal with than the killers before.
Holding the dagger across his chest, Han Xiao kept backing away. Baihu had gone crazy killing people in the crowd. People kept falling down, and there were screams and sounds of collisions.
Han Xiao was just defending and slowly retreated to Yan Hu's side. Yan Hu did not take any action because he was carrying Li Cui'er on his back. Seeing Han Xiao approaching, he also quietly moved towards Han Xiao.
The others were already frightened by Baihu and didn't notice anything happening on Han Xiao's side. Only the thugs who wanted to kill Han Xiao saw it.
But I just thought Yan Hu wanted to make a contribution.
Han Xiao was no longer just defending. He swung the short knife across and a stream of blood splashed onto Han Xiao's face. The man screamed and fell down in pain, holding his stomach.
Han Xiao felt a pain in his shoulder, which made him frown and slow down his movements. He was almost hit by the blade. It was Yan Hu who pulled him back.
Then Han Xiao kicked out. The man stood up immediately with a grunt and looked at Yan Hu in disbelief, but Han Xiao did not give him a chance to relax. He turned the dagger and this time slashed at the carotid artery in his neck.
The wound on his shoulder tore open again. Han Xiao knew that he couldn't stay any longer and had to leave here as soon as possible.
Han Xiao gritted his teeth and said to Yan Hu, "The situation is chaotic now. Take Li Cui'er and go to a safe place first."
"What about you?" Yan Hu kicked away the colleague who rushed over.
"I'm fine. I won't die as long as Dabai is here. You go first and I'll hold them back." Han Xiao knocked down another person, and this time Zhang Shaoqi also noticed the situation on Han Xiao's side.
His face turned pale, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Kill them for me."
They were actually doing something secretly right under his nose, which made Zhang Shaoqi so angry that he could not help but feel furious.
