In Gao Jianli's view, the shopkeeper in front of him dared to say such words, not to mention being overconfident. He must have come to this conclusion after experiencing countless assassinations.
Li Xiuyuan still didn't raise his head, and just murmured: "You still don't understand. This is not about being overconfident, but that you need to be hard on yourself."
Upon hearing this, Gao Jianli's hand holding the cup trembled slightly, then he gently put the cup down and sighed.
There was a trace of inexplicable emotion on his face, and he said with a smile: "No wonder the shopkeeper is not afraid of me. If a person is more cruel to himself than to the killer, it is really scary."
After saying these words, he stood up, clasped his hands and left, quickly disappearing into the night.
As Li Xiuyuan said, it is indeed not a good time for him to stay at this time.
Because Li Xiuyuan could not explain to Zhao Meng, let alone Xu Fu who was sleeping.
How to say? Saying that after much persuasion, Gao Jianli, as an assassin, finally gave up on assassinating the special envoy?
The night was still dark, and Li Xiuyuan was left alone in the huge camp in a daze. The fire in front of him was burning quietly. He threw some dead trees into it, waiting for Zhao Meng to take over.
It was quiet all around, except for the beeping sound of the fire.
Looking up at the vast night sky, Li Xiuyuan seemed a little absent-minded, because he thought of the story of Gao Jianli and Jing Ke, and the tragic assassination of Qin.
After a long silence, he suddenly said leisurely: "That guy is not a bandit, nor is he a bad person."
Zhao Meng's voice came from the dark night: "So, you let him go?"
A gust of mountain wind blew past, causing Zhao Meng's long shadow to appear beside the fire. Then the guy walked out of the darkness and sat next to Li Xiuyuan.
Li Xiuyuan glanced at him and poured him a cup of tea.
Zhao Meng shook his head, picked up the tea cup in front of him, and said quietly: "Who is that guy? Does the shopkeeper know him?"
"I haven't seen him, I just heard his name."
Li Xiuyuan smiled faintly: "How can a guy who likes playing the piano and drinking be so bad? Just like you, he is also a person of temperament."
"Interesting." Zhao Meng shook his head and said, "This is the first time I see you sitting down with a killer to drink tea and chat."
Li Xiuyuan smiled and said: "He is an interesting guy. This is the first time I have sat down with a killer to chat and drink tea."
In his memory, the killers he encountered either fled or died under his own sword.
Gao Jianli was indeed the first person tonight.
Gao Jianli nodded: "Will he come again tomorrow?"
Li Xiuyuan looked at the official road in the dark night and said calmly: "I have fine wine. I'm afraid it won't be easy for him to give up. Since he promised me, I have to satisfy him."
For Li Xiuyuan, wine has always been wine and water. After drinking it, he brews it.
It just takes some effort, and it’s not like No. 47 of the Imperial City is missing.
Zhao Meng held the tea cup and took two sips. After a moment, he smiled and said, "Will it scare Mr. Xu?"
Li Xiuyuan laughed and said, "If he comes tomorrow, he will be a friend. What's so scary? We can't deal with enemies all our lives, right?"
Back then, he and Princess Qingyue were fighting each other to death, but in the end they shook hands and said they knew each other, and they didn't become friends?
It is estimated that Chu Feng has already married Qingyue by now, and he is probably the only one missing from the wedding.
Zhao Meng sighed and said leisurely: "Shopkeeper, you are really an interesting person. I admire you more and more."
Li Xiuyuan shook his head and said, "I hope everything will be fine in the middle of the night and everyone can spend the night quietly."
"That's what I thought too." Zhao Meng's voice was emotionless, and after he regained his composure, he said, "Shopkeeper, have you made any arrangements?"
Li Xiuyuan was silent. He didn't want to let the guy in front of him know too much about his methods, otherwise he would always rely on himself in the future, which would not work.
He sighed and said quietly: "No matter what, if something goes wrong, just follow our previous plan. Don't rush out of the camp, you and the guards. With carriages and iron shields, no one can hurt you." ."
Will there be a night attack in this place where bandits hang out? Li Xiuyuan didn't know either.
"Then let's go according to our plan." Zhao Meng said slowly: "Bring more and give it to the brothers and children. I'm not afraid of them."
Sighing in the darkness, Li Xiuyuan's eyes widened. He was waiting for an arrow to shoot at him, so that he wouldn't have to go to sleep now.
If he dared to launch a sniper attack on his group in the dark, he had enough reasons to use that magic circle.
Li Xiuyuan looked up at the starless night sky and found that the sky was full of thick clouds. He thought to himself that this was really a suitable night for night attacks and killings.
The official road faintly visible in the distance is like a silent dragon that is suffocating.
Smiling faintly, he thought to himself that he had made careful arrangements, how could you be afraid of this sudden surprise attack?
At most, it's just a little more trouble and another fight.
Just when Li Xiuyuan was about to get up and leave, a strange sound suddenly came from the dark night.
Li Xiuyuan roared, reached out and grabbed one of Zhao Meng's hands, threw him forcefully into the camp, and then shouted in warning.
"The enemy is coming, please be careful." Li Xiuyuan shouted.
In the dark night, a crossbow arrow shot through the air, carrying a whistling sound, and flew in front of Li Xiuyuan.
Hearing this familiar voice, Zhao Meng screamed wildly and roared: "This is Qin Hu, a weapon only owned by the Imperial City Forbidden Army."
Li Xiuyuan reacted very quickly. Just a moment ago, he raised the long sword on the ground and slashed at it!
The crossbow arrow came through the air and was about to hit Li Xiuyuan's chest, but was cut into two pieces by his sword.
Immediately afterwards, countless shouts were heard in the camp. Li Xiuyuan knew that it was after the guards were awakened by Zhao Meng! They all took out their weapons.
Today will be another sleepless night.
Because of Gao Jianli's arrival and talking to Zhao Meng, Li Xiuyuan was not paying attention for a moment, and actually let the killers who attacked at night penetrate the official road and kill them in the camp.
Although there is still a certain distance from the last line of defense.
But the distance of the arrow was farther than that of the bow and arrow. There was a swishing sound, followed by a harsh clang sound in the dark night.
This night, even the children and Xu Fu were awakened.
Zhao Meng quickly separated out a few guards and took Xu Fu and the children further back. This was what Li Xiuyuan meant.
Both of them were afraid that Leng Jian would hurt these innocent children.
As the child ran into the darkness with the guards, Li Xiuyuan warned Zhao Meng and others not to rush out, but he had quietly taken out the wooden bow in his hand.
Now that the enemy has brought out the crossbows, he is not going to let any of these guys go tonight.
Once you're here, don't think about leaving.
A dense sound of killing people flew from the official road towards the camp. Even Zhao Meng and a group of guards felt that the arrows tonight were different from those in the past and had to be much stronger.
In an instant, countless crossbow arrows were fired at where Li Xiuyuan was. However, Li Xiuyuan was not someone to be trifled with tonight.
He was still holding back his anger after the battle with Gao Jianli before, but he didn't expect to let it out now.
"Buzz!" sounded, and a faint golden light rose in front of Li Xiuyuan. It was the talisman array he had set up.
The crossbow arrows that were shot one after another seemed to hit an invisible shield and fell three feet in front of Li Xiuyuan.
Dang, dang, dang, the crossbow arrows made a collision sound with the iron shield tied to the carriage, but they failed to destroy the carriage.
Li Xiuyuan held the wooden bow and quietly attached an iron sword engraved with runes. This was his masterpiece when he was idle these days.
The reason is to wait for this moment to come.
The Imperial City's special carriage, coupled with the special iron shield, was so strong that he didn't need to worry about the guards hiding behind the carriage.
He wanted to give the opponent a blow now. If he hadn't left yet, Zhao Meng, who was sitting here watching the night, would have died long ago under this intensive crossbow attack.
Quietly watching the whistling crossbow arrows flying towards the camp and himself, he knew that the enemy's first target must be Xu Fu. As long as Xu Fu died, this time's plan to go to sea would naturally fail.
He didn't expect that the killer who came tonight didn't even bother to wear a black suit. He just went into battle wearing armor. The purpose was to kill him and others as bandits!
"Buzz!" The wooden bow in his hand let out a cheer. The bow string vibrated lightly, and a talisman arrow flew towards the killers who were rushing at the front and holding shields!
"Boom!" There was a sound, and a killer who rushed at the front was shot by a talisman arrow, and a huge explosion instantly erupted, blowing his companions into pieces.
The killers did not expect that the cavalry team had made such careful preparations, which made them feel a hint of death.
Obviously, the enemies who rushed towards them did not expect that these carriages were so strong and could withstand the power of crossbow arrows.
In the vast night, arrows were still flying, and countless miserable howls suddenly sounded in the night.
What made Li Xiuyuan angry was that he actually heard screams from the camp. They were clearly the screams of the guards who fell to the ground after being hit by arrows.
He was so angry that he yelled: "Zhao Meng, watch your men, don't let the cold arrows hurt you."
He also knew that the arrow rain in the dark night would probably pass through the gap in the carriage and injure the guards behind.
Li Xiuyuan set up a magic circle thirty feet away from the camp, and did not let Zhao Meng and others set up the trap. Unexpectedly, after the time had passed, these guys couldn't help but pounce on them.
At this time, Gao Jianli wanted to leave, but he didn't know if that guy would encounter these killers.
Are you injured and can you leave safely?
Crossbow arrows continued to fly in the dark night and piled up on the ground around him.
The rune crossbow arrows fired by Li Xiuyuan fiercely passed through the iron shields of the killers, penetrated their bodies and heads, and then exploded one after another in the night.
He didn't even need to open his eyes, he just needed to lock his consciousness on these desperadoes. As long as the talisman arrows flew out, there was no way to avoid them.
Even if it can't penetrate the killer's iron shield, it will explode in an instant, and one rune arrow can kill more than one killer.
Suddenly, the fifty feet in front of the camp and the inner one hundred feet were filled with corpses, blood was everywhere, and death was spreading.
Li Xiuyuan looked at the killers rushing towards him in silence, but the wooden bow in his hand instantly changed direction and was aimed at a soldier giving orders on the official road.
To capture the thief, capture the king first. He will shoot the man standing on the official road in the head with one arrow!
"Buzz!" sounded, and a bolt of black lightning passed through countless killers who rushed towards him, passed through the vast darkness, and flew towards the official road like lightning!
"Boom!" There was a sound. Although it was not an explosion this time, a flame burned on the official road, and then a shrill scream sounded from behind a group of killers.
It didn't matter that the sound was heard, but it shocked hundreds of soldiers who had turned into killers.
Because there was no longer the sharp shout in their ears, and without the general's order, these soldiers who were accustomed to obeying orders were at a loss for a while.
I don't know whether to continue the attack or try to retreat.
