"Okay, Lu will definitely do what he says."
Lu Jing promised in a low voice, and soon the noise outside became louder and louder, proving that those people were getting closer.
"There's a cave here!"
As soon as these words were spoken, some scattered people around gathered together instantly, staring at the covered cave with burning eyes.
Chen Li frowned. Their accents sounded strange, and they didn't seem to be from Beiyan.
I thought about using my mental power to check the faces of these people and found that they had some alien features and were relatively short. Although the clothes they wore were from here, the shoes they wore and the way they walked had never been seen in Beiyan.
So, these people are Gentiles?
It’s a pity that An San is not here, otherwise he would have been knowledgeable and experienced following Pei Yu, and he would definitely know where these people came from.
Originally, An San wanted to follow Chen Li. After all, he had received orders from his master to protect Chen Li.
But Shen Li sternly refused and asked him to stay at the Shen family to protect her family.
Originally, An San refused to agree, but Chen Li said that if he didn't obey her orders, he didn't have to stay with her.
When An San heard this, he no longer hesitated and decided to stay in the Shen family. If he was sent back, he would not be able to explain to his master.
"Go and have a look."
The movement below brought Chen Li back to his senses. Two people nearby lit torches and walked into the cave. Before they got close, more than a dozen stones flew out of the cave and shot towards the people outside the cave.
The people outside seemed to have been prepared. Except for the two people at the entrance of the mountain cave who had no way to escape, the others had already retreated.
"Hiss~"
"Go ahead, this time, we can't let them get away!"
One of them gave the order, and the others quickly surrounded the cave.
Everyone in the cave also came out, but Lu Jing and the other two were still hiding in the cave.
Their original plan was to wait for Guo Xin to lure the people outside, and then he would escape with the other two people.
It's a pity that these people are not stupid. They surrounded the cave entrance tightly. It took a lot of effort to get out of the cave, let alone break out of the encirclement.
The two sides were originally equally strong, but they could not withstand the other side's large numbers, and they lost several brothers, and were increasingly at a disadvantage.
Seeing that they were at a disadvantage, Chen Li took out a bow and a dozen arrows from the space, and shot the arrows in one go.
“Swoosh~”
One arrow took one person's life, and then a few more arrows took away three defenseless people.
"Be careful, someone is attacking."
Guo Xin breathed a sigh of relief. Although he didn't know who was helping them, it was a good thing, wasn't it?
"Someone is helping us. Let's put in some effort and let them solve it."
Only in this way can they have a few days of peace and quiet, or at least do the cleanup work so that they can't find where things and people are.
Lu Jing, who was inside the cave, heard this and stuffed the things into his arms, hiding them carefully. He said to the two people beside him, "Let's go out and help too."
"good."
The three of them went out together to join the battle, and with the help of Chen Li, they quickly eliminated the thirty people at the lowest cost.
There were people who wanted to escape along the way, but they were all tripped by Chen Li's wood-based ability. They thought they had encountered a ghost wall, and they fell to the ground screaming and groaning, but they couldn't run away from this place.
It also shocked Lu Jing, Guo Xin and his group, who thought they were crazy.
Guo Xin and Lu Jing bowed in the direction the arrow came from and said, "I wonder which expert helped us? Could you please come out and meet us so that we can express our gratitude."
Of course, one has to leave one's name when helping others. She is not the kind of person who does good deeds without leaving her name.
She took the bow and arrow in her hand and jumped down from the tree. In the dark night, Lu Jing didn't see her face clearly, but he felt a sense of familiarity.
It was not until Chen Li walked under the moonlight that he suddenly widened his eyes with an expression of disbelief, and the words came out of his mouth.
"Ali, why are you here?"
"It's you, little brother!"
At the same time, Guo Xin also spoke in surprise, and then the two turned to look at each other and asked in unison, "Do you know each other?"
Shen Li walked closer and greeted Lu Jing, "A Jing, long time no see."
Lu Jing had stopped looking at Guo Xin a long time ago. He turned his head to look at her, his eyes a little red, but no one noticed.
Chen Li noticed it, and sighed inwardly, he is still a child after all.
"Why are you here?"
Chen Li looked at the surrounding environment and said, "This is not the place to talk. I'll talk in detail later."
Guo Xin also spoke up: "That's right, Master Lu, this is not the place to talk. Let's find a safe place first."
"good."
Under the cover of night, they quickly found a secluded place again. Everyone was very considerate and did not disturb the two from reminiscing about the past.
"Ali, why are you here?"
Lu Jing still had the same question. He wanted to know why Chen Li, who was supposed to be in Qingxi County, was here and even involved in this matter.
He had seen Chen Li dressed like this before, so he recognized her at a glance.
"I have to go to Yizhou for something, and I didn't expect to meet you here."
The key point is that Lu Jing was also involved in this matter. At first, Chen Li thought that it was Guo Xin and others' affairs that implicated Lu Jing, but she didn't expect that their roles were reversed.
"I went out to sea for the past six months and found a wooden box on an island. Since then, I've been hunted. Later, I found a way to pry open the box and found out it was because of the things inside."
"Island country?"
Chen Li's attention was not attracted by the things in the wooden box. I was attracted by the island country he mentioned.
Lu Jing nodded. "It's an island, surrounded by sea water. I couldn't understand what they were saying. I had to ask a veteran from a merchant ship that goes out to sea all year round to understand what they were saying."
Seeing that Chen Li was not curious about what he said, a faint smile flashed across Lu Jing's eyes. Sure enough, this was Li's personality.
"Can you take me with you next time?"
"Yes, but I won't be going out to sea in the short term."
Shen Li shook her head, "It's okay, there's no rush anyway."
"Okay, by the way, how did you get to know Young Master Guo and the others?"
"When I was staying at the inn before, I saw them being ambushed and I was implicated in the incident, so I helped them."
"So it's you."
He had heard about it from Guo Xin and the others, but he didn't expect that the "little brother" he was talking about was actually Ali.
Sure enough, Chen Li is his benefactor!
He took out a parchment scroll from his arms and handed it to Chen Li, "Ali, take a look."
"OK."
Since he let her read it, she didn't hesitate and took the parchment scroll directly, opened it and read it. After reading it, Chen Li was silent for a while, which was rare.
"This thing just came into your hands like this?"
After a long while, he finally squeezed out these words.
