Chapter 68: As expected, something went wrong
"That group of people were targeted when they were at the post house, but I didn't find any trace of those merchants along the way..."
"Official roads. The goods transported by those merchants are worth a lot of money. Generally, they will take the official roads after resting at the posthouse. We are exiled prisoners and cannot take the official roads without the permission of the government!"
Gu Yanchen also realized the seriousness of the matter, and directly used his Qinggong skills to lead his people away.
When they arrived at the open space, the car appeared instantly. Gu Yanchen subconsciously walked to the driver's door, but Ran Qingxuan held down his hand as he was about to open the door.
"Are you still in a good condition to drive?"
Gu Yanchen's eyes were clear, and he nodded seriously: "Don't worry, I will never take risks with your life or mine!"
After making sure that he had indeed regained his sanity, Ran Qingxuan immediately got into the passenger seat.
Because of the same thing, the two did not communicate much along the way. The speed of the car was always maintained at around 90 miles per hour. In less than 20 minutes, Ran Qingxuan saw the gate of the inn.
After turning off the car lights, Gu Yanchen put on night vision goggles and quickly passed by, then drove towards the left side of Xiaowei Mountain.
The car shook violently for a while and then quickly became stable. Then the trees on both sides began to increase. Ran Qingxuan realized that they had already reached the official road.
The official road is indeed much easier to drive on than the dirt road, but the presence of trees and bushes on both sides increases the risk of the car being discovered.
If there was someone resting on the road, they wouldn't be able to hide there even if they wanted to.
Fortunately, Gu Yanchen took this into consideration and wore night vision goggles but did not turn on the car lights, and he did not see any pedestrians sleeping in the wild along the way.
The car drove at high speed for about twenty minutes. Gu Yanchen's hands suddenly tightened on the steering wheel, and a bad premonition arose in his heart.
"Something seems to have happened ahead."
Ran Qingxuan, who was sitting in the co-pilot seat, also saw the flames rising a hundred meters ahead, as well as bursts of wailing and screaming.
In order to avoid being discovered, the two of them quickly stopped the car. After Ran Qingxuan put the car into the space, Gu Yanchen quickly used his lightness skills to leap forward.
The closer we got, the stronger the smell of blood became.
There were also bodyguards responsible for escorting the merchants in the group, but they were no match for a group of desperate criminals.
Ran Qingxuan was afraid that the two would be exposed, so he took out a black mask from the space and put it on Gu Yanchen, and then he climbed up a short tree nearby.
"Quickly decide the outcome, don't fight too long!"
"good."
In just a blink of an eye, Gu Yanchen appeared in the group of merchants. The group of bodyguards could no longer resist, but the man who suddenly appeared turned the situation around in an instant.
Gu Yanchen stepped lightly on the tree trunk, leaped forward and clamped the head of a man in black with his legs. He suddenly exerted force and twisted it. After a "click" sound, the man in black fell to the ground and died instantly.
After landing, he quickly punched the man in black who was rushing towards him. While the man was bending over and screaming in pain, Gu Yanchen quickly elbowed him in the face until he lost his ability to fight.
Seeing that the newcomer had no ill intentions, the escort leader Ma Kui immediately gathered the remaining men to fight back. Ran Qingxuan, who was hiding in the tree, was not idle. He took out the rifle in the space and quickly put on the silencer.
A man in black saw his two companions being killed in an instant, so he raised his knife and stabbed Gu Yanchen in the abdomen.
Gu Yanchen was prepared and subconsciously jumped back to avoid the knife in the other person's hand. He grabbed the black-clothed man's wrist to control the knife-holding hand, and the next second he used his elbow to force the tip of the knife in his hand to point at him.
Before the man in black could react, the knife in his hand stabbed into his chest.
Seeing this, another man in black approached and locked his neck. When Gu Yanchen raised his knee to kick the man away, he pulled the knife out of his chest.
Then he thrust his elbow into the chest, forcing the man in black behind him to lean forward, and with his backhand he stabbed the knife accurately into the enemy's eye socket.
Gu Yanchen's series of actions were fierce and decisive. The man in black knew that he had met a tough opponent, so he immediately gathered his men and prepared to escape.
Ran Qingxuan set his rifle to burst fire and quickly aimed and fired. After three soft "puff puff" sounds, three men in the black-clothed team fell to the ground.
The leader of the men in black was horrified, thinking that there was an expert with hidden weapons lying in ambush nearby. When he looked up to look for him, three more people fell down in the team.
When Ran Qingxuan saw the remaining eight men in black quickly moving towards the person at the side, he knew that person was the leader.
After moving the sight slightly and locking the target, Ran Qingxuan quickly pulled the trigger.
As soon as the leader of the men in black died, the team fell into chaos, and the remaining men in black began to run around like headless flies.
The leader of the escorts shouted loudly upon seeing this, and the rest of the escorts quickly surrounded them. Four men in black were killed in the resistance, and the remaining four were captured alive by the escorts.
After the battle, Ran Qingxuan put away his rifle, jumped off the tree swiftly, and ran towards the group of merchants who had suffered heavy casualties.
Seeing a man running towards him quickly, the escort leader Ma Kui immediately took a defensive posture.
"This is my man." Gu Yanchen stood in front of him and spoke in a deliberately low voice.
Seeing this, Ma Kui thought that Ran Qingxuan was the hidden weapon master, so he immediately put away the knife in his hand and saluted the two men.
Ran Qingxuan also wore a mask. He whispered a few words to Gu Yanchen, walked to the knocked-down man in black, squatted down, took out a knife and began to dig out the bullet in the wound as if nothing had happened.
This thing cannot be discovered by anyone. After all, when Deng Zhuo and others were killed, the bullets in their heads were not removed.
With so many men in black dying on the official road, the government will definitely investigate their origins. If it is discovered that the cause of death is the same as that of Deng Zhuo and others, it is hard to guarantee that the Gu family will not be suspected.
Ma Kui saw that the person who came was thin and small, and thought it was a younger brother. However, when he saw the light of the fire, he found that his hair was tied up in a bun only worn by women. He was immediately shocked.
Looking at Ran Qingxuan holding a knife and digging something out of the corpse, his face changed immediately and his hand unconsciously reached for the handle of the knife.
Gu Yanchen keenly noticed Ma Kui's actions and took a few steps forward to stand in front of Ran Qingxuan.
Ma Kui had seen how powerful Gu Yanchen was, and he didn't know the details of the two of them. He was nervous and spoke slowly.
"Ma Kui would like to thank the two heroes for their help. I don't know your names, but if there is a chance, I will definitely thank you generously."
"No need. We are just passing by and it is inconvenient to tell you our names."
The two sides were not familiar with each other, and because of Ma Kui's previous actions, Gu Yanchen did not have a good tone when he spoke.
After Ran Qingxuan put away the bullet, he glanced at the man lying on the ground bleeding profusely, quietly took out the bandages and began to perform simple treatment.
Ran Qingxuan would not do business at a loss, and the purpose of doing so was just to use courtesy before force.
Among these merchants, there is the person she is looking for. If she shows her goodwill first, maybe she will be able to get more things with less effort later.
Ma Kui didn't expect that Ran Qingxuan had just cruelly cut someone's forehead, and then quickly saved him the next second. He frowned and observed her to make sure she had no ill intentions before moving his hand away from the handle of the knife.
The person being treated by Ran Qingxuan was a young man. Seeing his companion wailing in pain, he couldn't help but want to get up and help.
"Don't move, it will be fine soon!"
