"Drive, drive, drive..." With a burst of horses and whips, Guan Heng and Melty left Fragrant Town in the dark.
But no one noticed that when they left, the largest luxurious mansion in the town, the home of the powder merchant Xincha, suddenly burst into flames.
However, because Xincha was rich and unkind and always bullied the honest townspeople, no one came up to pour a basin of water to put out the fire!
So, in compliance with everyone's wishes, the Xincha family's mansion was burned to the ground overnight without any suspense!
In the morning, outside the wilderness, on the road between the woods, amid a series of click, click, click sounds, I saw two horses turning their hooves and showing their palms, running slowly and slowly, coming from a distance!
"Huh--" Guan Heng suddenly reined in his mount. He turned to Melty beside him and said, "I heard the sound of water flowing in front of me. Let's go over to drink the horses, take a rest, and go to the neighboring town. It’s a long way!”
"Huh?" Melty had been thinking about something on the horse. When she heard what Guan Heng said, she raised her head in confusion: "Oh, okay! Let's go there then!"
"Melty, drink water!" At the edge of the stream, Guan Heng handed the filled water bag to the other party. He asked curiously: "What's wrong with you recently? You're always absent-minded. Do you feel like taking revenge?" Hopefully, are you a little nervous?"
"Guan Heng, I want to say..." Before Melty could finish her words, the two of them heard almost at the same time the sound of a speeding carriage rolling down the road not far from the woods!
"Huh-uh-" At this time, the driver slowly pulled the reins and stopped the animal pulling the cart. He heard someone shouting: "Master! Give it a rest. Our horses have been running for several hours." , I can’t keep track of it!”
A very hoarse voice sounded: "Well, that's it, but after a short rest, we'd better get on the road quickly and get back to Fragrant Town before noon!"
Guan Heng and Melty looked at each other and suddenly felt a little strange. They got up and led their two horses behind the hidden trees, while they each found a place to hide!
At this time, the other party's carriage had stopped on the roadside, "Hey, hey, hey!" There were three vigorous figures who jumped out of the carriage first. Then, one of them opened the curtain of the carriage, and a fat man with a big head and intestines said, He walked down, shaking his body fat.
"Humph, what a bad luck!" The fat man was panting and wiping the sweat from his head, complaining: "The big shot I was waiting for turned out to have been temporarily rerouted. He didn't go to the neighboring town, so I made my trip in vain! "
The other three people all had weapons on their waists and backs. They were obviously the fat man's bodyguards. One of them, a short and stocky man, said: "Hey, Mr. Xincha, it's not to blame for not being notified. I heard that the three people who came to deliver the letter were... Tianqian walked near the town and was knocked unconscious. When he woke up again, his cloak was taken away!"
"Ah! Fatty is this bastard Xincha!!" Melty, who was hiding behind a tree, immediately became so angry that her eyes were red and the veins on her forehead were bulging as soon as she heard the name that she hated so much. She clenched the hilt of her sword. Just rush out and fight!
"Hey, don't be impulsive!" Guan Heng hurriedly gestured to Melty. The girl suppressed the endless anger in her heart, calmed down a little, and huddled there without moving!
"Zhuang Dun, Chuck, I'll go to the creek to get some water to feed the horses. You stay here with Mr. Xincha!" A tall and thin man said, carrying a wooden bucket and walking straight to the stream. .
The location of this water source is about 40 to 50 meters away from the road where the carriages are parked. The road is thickly covered with bushes and weeds, so it is quite hidden!
Guan Heng winked at Melty, and the two of them suddenly ran into the grass nest and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
"La la la... hum hum hum..." The tall and thin man fetching water hummed a tune while squatting by the stream to draw water. Unexpectedly, he just glanced at the water surface, but suddenly found that there was a reflection in the water. , there is someone behind me!
"Ah?! Are you..." Before the tall and thin man could cry out, Melty, who had already appeared behind him, raised the sword and put it down with a puff, and a line suddenly appeared on the side of the man's neck. The mark, "Zizzizi..." A cloud of red mist immediately shot out from the thin line of his neck, dyeing the creek red in an instant!
"Compatriots, clansmen... this is the first one!" Melty flicked the red stains on the sword's edge, and the red beads fell into the stream one after another, and then slowly rubbed on the opponent's clothes. After wiping it, she murmured to herself: "Then, it's Xincha and his other two minions!"
"Melty, hide quickly!" Guan Heng was on guard in the low bushes. He growled: "It seems like someone is coming again. Move faster!"
"Hoo!" Melty moved when she heard the sound, her figure fell upside down and disappeared into the shadow of the trees in an instant!
"Hey, Shade! Why are you moving so slowly!" It was Zhuang Dun, a short and sturdy man, who came. He shouted loudly: "Master Xincha is impatient to wait. Why don't you get some water?" Want to take a nap there?”
"You brat! I'm calling you!"
Seeing his companion there, lying motionless by the stream, Zhuangdun went over angrily and kicked him on the back: "I'm talking to you! I'm deaf!"
"Plop..." Shade, who had no reaction, fell directly into the water!
"No! The creek is all red! Something happened! Qiang——" With a nervous look on his face, Zhuang Dun quickly pulled out the sword from his waist. When he was about to turn around, he heard a swish sound, and the opponent's attack had already begun. Hit the back of his neck!
"Ah!" The evil wind behind his head was not good. Zhuang Dun didn't have time to parry quickly, so he rushed forward in panic.
"Bang!" By coincidence, Zhuang Dun fell on his unlucky companion, Shad, who took the first step!
"Hi! Poof!" The heavy sword and the fine steel dagger dug into Zhuang Dun's left and right ribs respectively. The boy was suffering from unbearable injuries and was about to shout, but Guan Heng raised his foot and stepped on his head. He fell into the creek: "Gudu... Gudu..." In just a few seconds, this guy disappeared without a sound!
"Let's go! Go and deal with the remaining two people!" Guan Heng shouldered the heavy sword, and Melty, who was behind him, picked up the sword on the ground. Now he is holding a dagger in one hand and a sword in the other, because Guan Heng removed himself from She read in the book about the fighting methods of the elves' double swords and taught her a few rough moves. Now she feels that holding the double swords is much easier than before!
"Who is it?" Chuck, the last bodyguard standing beside the carriage, saw Guan Heng and Melty walking out of the woods in a big way. However, he found no trace of his two companions. This scene Looks extremely weird!
