Chapter 126: Good Calculation (Part 2)



After taking a glance at the horse still gasping and twitching in a pool of blood, Henry took a long breath, raised his arm and swung his sword, tearing the curtain in half, revealing the scene inside the carriage. Then, Henry saw the driver's eyes filled with fear...

Tu Lu frowned, because he suddenly felt that Henry's posture was a little strange, and it looked like he was frozen.

Something is wrong! Tu Lu narrowed his eyes, turned his right hand, and reached for the scimitar on his waist. At the same time, the spring sounded, and a black shadow flew quickly from Henry's ear, at a speed that was astonishing.

With the sound of "swoosh" entering the flesh, Tulu's right arm shook and hurt violently, and he had no strength to pull out the remaining half of the scimitar.

Tu Lu glanced subconsciously and saw that a black crossbow arrow had been "nailed" on his right shoulder at some point. The arrowhead had penetrated deeply into the flesh, and bright red blood was constantly oozing out of the wound.

Tu Lu covered his shoulder and retreated quickly, shouting loudly as he retreated. The dozen or so minions under his command had not moved away much, and when they heard Tu Lu's shouting, they immediately ran over.

"Kill the man in the carriage!" Tu Lu gritted his teeth and endured the pain, with veins on his neck bulging.

Amid the chaotic responses, more than a dozen minions, some with bows and arrows drawn, others with swords or knives wielding, rushed towards the carriage...

Henry didn't dare to move because at this moment there was a sword tip "sticking" to him - the cold sword tip was against his chin, the hilt was in Wu Lai's hand, and his own sword was "taken" away by the coachman who still had a terrified look on his face. Not only did he take away the sword, but the coachman also grabbed Henry's belt at Wu Lai's instruction.

"If he dares to move, just pull him into the carriage, and the sword in my hand can penetrate his head." When Wu Lai said this, Henry and the coachman both felt dizzy.

Henry was so upset at the moment, but would that work? Who made him walk over and give it to others like a fool?

Wu Lai was half squatting, with Henry's figure "protecting" him, so he didn't have to worry about the threat of feather arrows for the time being. As for the minions running towards him with weapons in hand, would they be a problem? In the last memory, when he was the king of soldiers, Wu Lai was a guy who loved shooting very much. Because of his extraordinary talent and interest in shooting, he was the one who spent the most time in the gun room and shooting range in the team, and he was also the holder of several shooting records in the team.

A single-soldier crossbow is certainly not a gun, but Wu Lai still found the feeling of shooting.

He raised his hand and pulled the trigger. With a "crack" sound from the spring, a crossbow arrow flew out. Immediately, one of the minions would be hit by the arrow. Even if he didn't fall to the ground on the spot, his combat effectiveness would be almost gone. Wu Lai's shooting was specifically aimed at the shoulder or calf. With the power of the special crossbow in his hand, once the arrow hit the target at such a distance, the crossbow arrow would penetrate deeply into the flesh because it was blocked by the bones. If by chance, it would even penetrate the minions without any problem.

"Click", "Click", the sound of the spring was sometimes fast and sometimes slow, but the screams and groans of the minions slowly became one, and within two or three breaths, none of the bandits in front could stand except Tu Lu, but the bandits who had encircled the carriage from the back also arrived.

"Whoosh", a long spear suddenly pierced in from the car window with the sound of wind. Wu Lai frowned and turned sideways, the tip of the gun brushed past his right shoulder and nailed it hard on the car board.

Henry, who was standing stiffly, couldn't help but groan softly, and his jaw began to hurt hotly.

Wu Lai took a quick look and realized that he had chosen to dodge sideways without thinking carefully. As a result, the hand holding the sword "trembled slightly". In addition, the coachman was frightened by the sudden spear, so he subconsciously "gently pulled" Henry's belt. As a result, the tip of Wu Lai's sword scratched a small hole on Henry's jaw, and blood came out immediately.

Although he secretly complained in his heart, Henry still did not dare to act rashly...

When the second spear suddenly stabbed in, two stones as big as human heads also smashed the car window and flew in.

"Oh my gosh!" Wu Lai could not help but curse after he dodged. His movements became faster. He pulled back the sword and kicked the driver to the inside of the carriage wall. He then turned the hilt of the sword and hit Henry on the neck. When Henry fell into the carriage, Wu Lai swung his sword to lift the remaining half of the curtain and jumped out.

"He's coming out!" A warning sounded, and the bandits who had been throwing stones at the car immediately dropped their stones and chased after him. Two bandits with bows and arrows drawn aimed at Wu Lai's figure...

"Bang", the bowstring sounded, and two sharp arrows shot out, with the arrow tips heading towards Wu Lai.

The reason was that the two bandit archers were standing on Tulu's left and right, and Wu Lai's running figure was actually heading straight towards Tulu.

To catch a thief, you must first catch the leader. Since Wu Lai knows that Tu Lu, this chatterbox, is the thief's leader, who else can he go after if not him?

Glancing at the flying arrows, a hint of joy flashed across Tulu's eyes. He was used to fighting, so he could naturally tell at a glance that the angles and timing of the arrows shot by his two men were just right - hitting a target moving at high speed is not an easy task. When aiming, you have to take a certain amount of lead based on the target's moving speed and the arrow's flying speed in order to hit it accurately.

Two feather arrows instantly approached Wu Lai, but just when Tu Lu thought he would see blood splattering from the arrows in Wu Lai's chest and abdomen, Wu Lai suddenly stopped and flipped his body backwards, and the two crossed feather arrows missed. At the same time, he suddenly swung his left arm, and with a bang, a crossbow arrow shot out rapidly. The archer on Tu Lu's right was shocked, and his left hand subconsciously covered the painful area. After looking down, his eyes went black and he fell to the ground...

Tulu immediately retreated, and the archer on his left hurriedly put an arrow on the bow. But before the arrow could be strung, another crossbow arrow whizzed through the air and pierced his throat directly...

At this moment, Wu Lai, who had completed a double kill in a flash just now, finally fell to the ground and his back hit the ground heavily.

"Oh my god!" Wu Lai couldn't help but curse, because he landed on his back a little too badly - there happened to be a few fist-sized rocks there, which almost broke Wu Lai's waist.

Tu Lu panicked and didn't even bother to cover the wound on his shoulder. He endured the pain and ran to the right side of the road. He thought that as long as he jumped into the woods and rolled a few times, he could hide himself in the vast green that blocked out the sun.

Unfortunately, although the idea was good, it was not so easy to implement. He had just taken two steps when Wu Lai, who had already jumped up, shot the last crossbow arrow in the crossbow. As soon as the spring sounded, Tu Lu felt that his right buttocks seemed to be bitten by a ferocious beast. Then, he fell to the ground with a thud. Just as he was struggling to get up, he was kicked in the neck again...

Wu Lai stepped hard, pushing Tu Lu's half-raised body back to the ground. He swung the rapier in his right hand and hit Tu Lu on the back of his heart. He raised the crossbow in his left hand and shouted, "Who dares to come over here?"

Six or seven bandits who were about to run to the front stopped immediately and looked at each other. You know, Tu Lu's life is in the hands of others at the moment, and it would be inappropriate to act rashly.

Seeing these bandits stop as they were told, Wu Lai smiled, because he knew that the Daishan teenagers in the two cars in front and behind would arrive soon, and then he could leave the mess in front of him to them to deal with.

Just as he was thinking this, a figure suddenly jumped out of the carriage and disappeared behind it in the blink of an eye. Then, the driver shouted, "Sir, he ran away!"

As soon as Wu Lai frowned, Tu Lu at his feet also shouted loudly: "Brothers, hurry up! Don't worry about me!"

"Shut up!" Wu Lai scolded.

However, his scolding was obviously of no use. Tu Lu's muscular body was not grown in vain. After a strong effort, he actually lifted up half of his body.

"Kill him! If we don't kill him, we'll be dead!" Tu Lu shouted, "Leave me alone! He will kill me if you don't move him!"

Several bandits looked at each other, nodded, and rushed forward. Tu Lu was right. They were all going to die anyway, so they might as well rush forward. Even if they failed to save Tu Lu, they could avenge everyone - they all saw that Wu Lai had no more arrows in the crossbow. Everyone had no choice but to rush forward. Even if he was very capable, he could not avoid being in a panic. You know, in a life-and-death struggle, a small mistake could cost a person his life.

When he saw the bandits running towards him, Wu Lai sneered, then raised his sword and pointed: "Kill!"

As soon as Wu Lai shouted "Kill", the sound of springs began to sound, and dozens of crossbow arrows flew through the air. The sound of flesh being pierced, screams, and the sound of weapons falling to the ground suddenly became one...

Tu Lu was completely stunned. When several of his men came running towards him, he had already prepared himself to be killed on the spot by Wu Lai to vent his anger. He thought that since they would die together, he would not lose anything. However, he did not expect that in the blink of an eye, all his men were lying in a pool of blood.

"It was you who killed them. Originally, I only planned to capture you and send you to hard labor for a few years. I didn't expect that you would let them charge. Didn't you see several figures appearing not far behind the carriage?" Wu Lai said sarcastically.

Tu Lu was stunned for a moment, and then he saw several black figures approaching quickly, but this time they were not from the front, but from behind Wu Lai.

"So you were prepared." Tu Lu said hatefully.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

"Of course, otherwise how can we kill you, Tulu, who only does dirty work, in one fell swoop?" Wu Lai asked with a smile.

He actually knew my name? Was I being plotted against? Tu Lu was stunned again.

"Master! The escapee has been caught!" A Daishan boy shouted loudly beside the carriage...

When Henry saw Wu Lai swaggering towards him, his heart was filled with despair and panic, because he knew that he had messed up the job. Moreover, he might have to endure Wu Lai's torture - maybe even "lingchi".

"Let him go, he won't run away again." After Wu Lai waved his hand, the two Daishan boys simultaneously released their hands that were holding Henry's arms and took a step back.

After taking a quick glance, Wu Lai smiled and asked, "Henry, why are you still wearing a black cloth? Do you think I didn't know it was you?"

Henry was stunned, and the horror in his heart was so intense that it could not be described.

More than a day later, a man who looked like a butler hurried into a house in the city of Lovington. After a while, he walked through two winding corridors and came to the backyard.

In the small pavilion in the backyard, there sat a man whose actual age could not be determined. His hair was full of silver hair, and even his eyelashes were white, but his skin was pink. His eyes were narrowed, and he seemed to be afraid of the light. Occasionally, when he opened his eyes a little wider, one could see that his pupils were actually light red.

But even so, one has to admit that he is actually very handsome. Even so, he is still incredibly handsome.

"Sir." The man who looked like a butler walked quickly to the man's side, bowed and saluted, and said, "That Wulagrindo has entered the city."

"Oh." The man nodded. "I told you, this guy is not that simple. Any other news?"

"According to the report, Wu Lai killed all the bandits who ambushed him, and nailed them to the big tree beside the horse trail with wooden wedges. However, there is no trace of Henry. I wonder if he escaped."

The man shook his head, with a hint of impatience in his tone. "Kai, how many times do you have to tell me before I remember? We should always prepare for the worst and not be too optimistic. I think the Henry they sent out must be in the hands of Woolleglindo now. Maybe he has already smuggled him into the city."

"Smuggle it into the city? Why would he do that, sir?" Kai asked.

"Because if I were Wu Lai, I would feel that it would be safer to keep Henry with me than to leave him anywhere." The man paused and added, "Fortunately, Henry is just a minor character and doesn't know much, otherwise it would be a bit tricky. Kai, you're fine anyway, so please talk to me more. I'm sitting here alone, it's so boring."

"Okay, sir." Kai nodded and couldn't help but sigh quietly. There was a hint of pity in his eyes when he looked at the man.

The reason why Kai felt this way was that he had always believed that if the man in front of him could walk in the sun like a healthy person, his achievements would definitely surpass his cousin.

The man's name was Nils Duncan, and his cousin was Weihuo Duncan.

Nils is only 31 years old this year. In the past 30 years, he has been struggling to survive and study in the shadows...

In the first thirty years of his life, Nils did not receive the attention and training from his family like his cousin. In fact, if it were not for Kai's father's careful care, he would not have been alive today because he was despised and almost drowned at birth.

The reason why Niels was not welcomed by his family was not only because he suffered from such a disease, but also because he was an illegitimate child. His mother was a commoner, beautiful, intelligent, but also had a short life. She died in the delivery bed before she could even see her son. What's more tragic is that her cause of death was not dystocia but murder - the person who ordered her to be killed in the delivery bed was Qi Yuan.

However, no one told Nils these things. Even if they had told him, Nils would not necessarily do anything for his poor mother. He might even not hate Qi Yuan, because Qi Yuan was not only the head of the Duncan family and the undisputed number one in the Assyrian territory, but also the first person in the Duncan family to discover that Nils was capable of great use and entrusted him with important tasks.

Whether it was to repay a favor or to prove himself, Niels had to do his best, even though he knew the situation in Lovington was a bit tricky...
