It's a snowy night on the ancient road, and the cold wind howls.
The shadows of fire at the feet of the seven peaks illuminated the entire sky and earth in a faint red.
Beside the dead forest, there were dense crowds of figures intertwined, and the sound of fighting was loud.
From all directions, there were still fierce bandits holding torches and shouting, coming one after another.
Xinyuan Escort Agency sent a total of thirty-six escorts this time, five of whom were newbies with no experience in martial arts. Even though the rest had profound martial arts skills, they were gradually dwarfed by the crowd tactics.
After waves of attacks, the bodyguards were dispersed.
The chief escort was strong and brave, and there were four or five escorts around him to help him. He was not injured for the time being. Looking at the scene in front of them, the hearts of several people were heavy.
Except for a few of the escort team of more than thirty people who were still intact, the others who were surrounded were all injured.
If the entanglement continues, the bodyguard will surely suffer losses!
"Chief escort, although the gangsters on the Yudu Ancient Road are ferocious, they still take advantage of the situation. We have been fighting for so long and they have killed and injured so many people. Why do they still refuse to retreat?" a bodyguard asked anxiously.
Gao Chong pursed his lips tightly and swept his sharp eyes around.
He also felt strange.
This is not the first time they have come to the Yudu Ancient Road, and they are familiar with the style of the gangsters here. If they know that they will be defeated or that they will suffer heavy damage if they try hard, these gangsters will retreat automatically and will never risk their lives. Still rushing forward.
There is something unusual about it.
Darkness flashed in Gao Chong's eyes. He avoided the slashing knife coming from beside him and raised his voice, "Everyone! We are just escorts passing through this place. We are from Darong Xinyuan Escort Bureau. We are just escorts all the way. No offense to you. Why do you bother to make things difficult for us like this? You are only seeking wealth on the ancient road. We can give you the silver we carry, and forget about it. How about letting us pass!"
One of the gangsters laughed loudly, pointing his machete across his face with a venomous look on his face, "Bodyguard? You want to deceive me with such nonsense? People from the imperial court will come to hunt the Thirty-Three Peaks in the near future. We got the news early in the morning, but we are still trying to deceive! Let me tell you, no matter you are bodyguards or lackeys of the imperial court, today the Thirty-Three Peaks will keep you coming and going! Kill me!"
Gao Chong's expression changed when he heard this, no wonder the gangsters were fighting to the death with them.
This makes them happen to bump into each other, and the other party would rather kill a hundred by mistake!
Without thinking too much about anything else, he shouted loudly, "People from the escort agency, listen, break out and leave immediately, don't let us fight!"
Otherwise, it would be difficult for them to leave alive tonight!
The escorts heard the order and began to gather together.
Knowing that they were going to break out and escape, the gangsters became more ruthless and the scene became even more chaotic.
While moving and fighting, Tianbao's ears moved slightly, and he recognized someone coming from behind. He moved his feet cleverly and avoided it as if he was hit by accident. He caught Yu Hong's shadow in the corner of his eye.
Beside Yu Hong, Xu Yang and Han Wenbai responded to the enemy while leading people towards them.
Tianbao and Bai Yu exchanged glances quickly, pretending to be forced by the gangsters to run blindly, and ran to the three of them in the blink of an eye.
"Huh, good time! Shi Yu, Jiu'er, don't blame us for being cruel. If not, blame you for being an eyesore!" Yu Hong's murderous words penetrated into the ears of the two of them, "Master Ding told us that the Escort Agency Three of the newcomers selected every year will be able to enter Guiyi Pavilion in the future! As long as you die, the three of us will definitely be able to enter!"
Xu Yang and Han Wenbo didn't speak, but the blade swept towards them during the battle, as if they wanted to kill them in the melee.
Bai Yu kicked a gangster as a scapegoat, and when he turned around to look at the three of them, he raised his eyebrows and raised his lips, saying that the three of them had never seen such arrogance and wantonness, as well as murderous intent, "Someone is indeed going to die here, but it's not me and Jiu'er. "
His voice was very soft, with a smile, like Yama murmuring, "It's you."
After finishing speaking, Bai Yu and Tian'er turned sideways at the same time, and were slashed diagonally by the gangster's knife that they had been blocking behind them.
Without them to stop them, the cold blade headed straight towards the other three people.
The expressions of Xu Yang, Yu Hong, and Han Wenbo changed greatly, and they subconsciously ducked back.
However, he was staggered by the fierce bandits flying from behind and rushed forward.
The gangster killed three people with one knife.
Blood spurted out from his chest. Before he died, Xu Yang turned his head hard. Wherever he looked, a man in black wearing a silver wolf mask stood there, his slanting gaze indifferent and cold.
The besieged bodyguards over there were too busy caring for themselves that no one paid attention to the murderous intent hidden in the chaos here.
Bai Yu and Tian Bao secretly high-fived each other and began to move toward the escorts. Naturally, they also brought with them the ruthless gangsters who were chasing them.
It brings another wave of "help" to the escorts who are already struggling to support themselves.
The masked boy did not leave, but wandered to the side, killing the scattered gangsters one by one.
The thirty-three peaks of the Yudu Ancient Road are difficult to navigate in snowy weather. It would take at least three days to successfully cross the ancient road.
The bodyguards were fighting and walking, not even having a chance to rest briefly along the way.
When they were able to break out of the ancient road, only eight of the thirty-six people who came there were left.
Gao Chong was sitting on a large stone by the side of the road. His body was covered with scars, the most serious one on his left chest, which was almost bone-deep.
The injuries on the rest of the people were also serious. This dart attack was the most serious and tragic one in the past.
"Chief escort, how are you?" A slightly injured escort came over and took out a water bag to give him water.
After unscrewing the lid, the water could not be poured out. It had already frozen in the bag.
Gao Chong endured the pain and gasped weakly, "It doesn't matter, how is that boy Shi Yu's injury?"
Hearing this, the escort looked back with a complex expression, "He was seriously injured. He received a blow on the back. I'm afraid his internal organs were shocked. He is not fully awake yet."
"Now that we have left the ancient road, the next road will be much easier. Wait until the escort is sent to the place, and then we will find someone to treat us. As for the other things, we will talk about it after we go back." Gao Chong leaned on the big stone and closed his eyes, his face full of tears. Pale from the excessive blood loss, he sighed, "If Shi Yu hadn't fought to save him this time, I would have died on the ancient road."
The bodyguard said bitterly, "If people from the Dai Viet imperial court had not come to suppress the bandits, those ruthless bandits would not have been angered. How could our bodyguard bureau have suffered such heavy losses! Even if Shi Yu set off a flare to attract their attention, we might not be able to do well if they talk things out of the way. Leave! It’s so unlucky that I can’t even drink water without my teeth filling!”
Originally, everyone blamed the brother and sister for their lack of success, but with Shi Yu fighting to the death to protect the chief escort, it was difficult to say those blaming words just for the sake of the chief escort's face.
Under another dead tree on the side of the road, the pale boy closed his eyes tightly and didn't know who was going on. The girl half-hugged him in her arms. Her clear apricot eyes were red-rimmed at the moment, her expression was blank, and she was full of sadness and hesitation.
When many escorts saw this scene, they quickly turned their eyes away, each with mixed emotions.
Three of the newcomers who came with him died.
Unexpectedly, the last remaining ones would be these two brothers.
Shi Yu was guilty of setting off flares indiscriminately, and he was also responsible for saving the head of the escort. After returning home, I don’t know what the boss will decide.
But if these two people stay, they will definitely be able to enter Guiyi Pavilion.
