Chapter 256 Escape
This time, Su Yichen and the others had to thank Master Hu for taking them for running training during their time in Taohua Village, regardless of wind or rain. Otherwise, they would definitely be torn to pieces by this pack of wolves today.
"Hurry, we'll be on the official road soon." Ye Ying looked delighted.
Everyone was also shocked and their pace became faster and faster.
Hurry up, you will be safe as long as you get to the official road.
But before they could run to the official road, the secret guards who stayed behind to cover their retreat were surrounded by wolves.
There was a student behind him who was protecting him. The student's face was pale and his whole body was trembling.
Just now, just now, if the secret guard had not pulled him back, his neck would have been bitten through by the wolf.
The fishy smell of saliva was still lingering in his nostrils, and it seemed as if the god of death was still staring at him hungrily from a distance.
"Run, idiot!" The secret guard pushed the student hard.
Because of this distraction, the wolves jumped and bit his arm. Then they pulled hard and the guard's arm was torn off alive.
"Ah!" Even the well-trained secret guards could not bear the pain of a sudden broken arm.
However, the fighting factor engraved in his bones made him reflexively throw out the sword in his hand.
The wolf, still clutching his severed arm, didn't even howl before he slit its throat. "Sir," the student, pushed out by the Night Fury, ran back. He was trembling, yet he resolutely supported the Night Fury.
Night Fury's consciousness began to blur, his lips turned pale, his head felt dizzy, and he could no longer recognize who was holding him up.
He thought it was his teammate, so he closed his eyes and gave himself to the other party without worry.
The student was in a panic and was about to carry the man on his back when he saw another wolf rushing towards him.
Time was too tight and he had no time to run.
At the critical moment, he could only close his eyes, hold the Night Fury in his arms, and face the wolf's big mouth with his back.
Ye Fury was injured while saving him, and now he has repaid the favor.
But the expected pain did not come, and he felt something warm falling on the back of his neck.
"Idiot, why don't you leave quickly?" Ye Ying glared at him coldly. These scholars are more likely to cause trouble than to help.
The student breathed a sigh of relief, put the Night Fury on his back, and ran out quickly.
At this moment, he was extremely grateful to Hu Zi for forcing them to run and exercise every day.
It turns out that being flexible can really save lives at critical moments.
He never slacked off again.
After Jiang Luli and his men arrived, the two groups worked together to eliminate the remaining wolves.
Looking at the piles of corpses, Jiang Luli's resolute face was full of coldness.
"Ye Ying, take these two people and stay here to investigate. I feel like this isn't a simple matter."
"yes."
At this time Lu Yao also came.
He went to the cave he found first to check the layout, but after a long time he didn't see his master bringing people over. When he was getting anxious, he heard the howling of wolves.
Without thinking too much, he ran back quickly. Shortly after they came out of the cave, they were also besieged by a pack of wolves.
After finally getting rid of the wolves, some people were injured and rushed over.
"I am late, please punish me, master." Lu Yao knelt on the ground with his men.
"Get up, this has nothing to do with you." Jiang Luli is not a person who likes to vent his anger on others.
Lu Yao breathed a sigh of relief.
"Let's go and rest first." He was already tired after a whole day's journey. He had just been running for his life and fighting. Now he felt like his whole body was falling apart from the fighting. He urgently needed a place to lie down.
Among them were wounded and sick people who also needed rest.
Fortunately, Lu Yao and the others had almost cleaned up the cave, lit a fire, and sat around fighting.
While Eunuch Fu treated the injured, Lu Yao took out something and handed it to Jiang Luli. "Master, I found this when I was cleaning the cave."
Jiang Luli stroked the cloth, his eyes flashing with emotion. "Why are there Chu costumes here?"
"I just checked carefully. This cloth must have been discarded not long ago. There's a faint smell of blood on it."
"How interesting. I didn't expect to encounter such an interesting thing in such a remote Juzhou." The Chu costumes, the inexplicable appearance of wolves. If all this wasn't man-made, his name, Jiang Luli, would be written backwards.

When school is on vacation, the children are like monkeys returning to the mountains.
They don't care whether it is cold outside or not, and run outside happily every day.
"Tang'er, go call your brother back for dinner."
Mother Ye brought the prepared meal to the table and shouted at Ye Yuntang who was reading in the room.
Ye Yuntang had no choice but to put down his book and go out to look for Ye Yunqiao who was having fun.
Even though it was winter, there were still plenty of things for the children to play with. And since Taohua Village was so big, she really couldn't find where the children were hiding to play.
But fortunately, he has now adapted to the local customs.
She found an open space and made a trumpet shape with her hands. "Ye Yunqiao, your mother will tell you to eat."
"Ye Yunqiao, your mother will call you to eat."
“Food, food, food…”
Ye Yuntang's voice echoed in the valley.
After shouting twice, she listened attentively, but did not hear Ye Yunqiao's reply.
Where did this child go to play?
She walked forward for a while in confusion, shouting as she walked.
"Sister, sister, stop shouting. I'm here."
Suddenly, Ye Yunqiao's head popped out from behind the stone at the entrance of the village.
"What are you doing hiding here, kid? Why didn't you answer me when I called you?"
Ye Yunqiao looked around and confirmed that he and his sister were the only two people at the village entrance. He waved mysteriously at Ye Yuntang. "Sister, come here. I want to tell you a secret."
Ye Yuntang found it funny. This kid actually had a secret?
She walked over very cooperatively, looked around like him, and asked in a low voice, "What secret?"
Ye Yunqiao took out a silver ingot from his arms.
Ye Yuntang quickly snatched it away, looked around for a while, and found that it was indeed silver. His face suddenly became serious. "Where did you get this silver?"
A bad feeling flashed through his mind. Could it be that her cute brother had learned bad things? "Come on, tell me, where did you get this money from?"
Ye Yunqiao shrank his neck. His sister looked so scary.
He pointed to the thatched house not far away where his family had lived for a while. "Today, I had agreed to play hide-and-seek with a friend, and I hid in this house we used to live in. But when I went in, I found a man lying on the bed!"
"What?" Ye Yuntang stood up anxiously.
Ye Yunqiao quickly pulled her back. "Don't worry, sister. That man seems to have been seriously injured. When he saw me, he took the silver and asked me to get him some herbs and hot water."
"I'm not thinking about how hard you and your parents work to earn money. I'm just trying to get some herbs. Master Lin taught us how to identify herbs, and I remember them all. It's just that it's winter now, and some herbs are hard to find without their leaves."
Ye Yuntang watched his brother explain coldly. Although he was still angry, he knew that he couldn't blame him entirely.
It is not a good thing for a child to be too sensible. At such a young age, he only thinks about bringing money home and forgets the dangers involved.
An injured stranger suddenly appeared at the entrance of the village, which didn't sound like a good thing.
"Come on, take me to see it."
