Chapter 145: Late Night Enemy Attack
"That's true, but there's another thing that's a bit strange. According to common sense, if the fight between two factions is more intense, the monarch will usually mediate. But why didn't they make any move this time?"
Regarding this matter, Ou Ye Changfeng had some speculations. He said contemptuously:
"I'm afraid it's not Luo Yun Guo but Luo Yun Sect behind this."
"You mean Xu Xianzhi? But why did he do this?" Feng Huzi was puzzled.
"Perhaps they want to test the background of these families' power."
Although the strength of the entire Luo Yun Kingdom court is dependent on the Luo Yun Sect, who knows if they will make some small moves behind the scenes. In addition, Xu Xianzhi has a strong desire to control Luo Yun Kingdom, so how can he let them go?
Feng Huzi couldn't understand why the government had to be so complicated, so he stopped asking further. Compared with these trivial matters, he still found weapon refining more attractive.
"By the way, why haven't you seen any trace of Senior Brother Ou Yezi recently?"
"He went to Luoye City and said he had to do some things. He should be back in a few days."
…
In the Lord's Mansion of Luoye City, a middle-aged man was standing quietly aside, not daring to breathe. In front of him was a slightly rickety old man. Apart from the two of them, there was no one else in the entire hall.
"What's going on with your six major families these days?"
Faced with Ou Yezi's question, Ji Shenfu did not dare to be careless in the slightest, and he replied respectfully:
"Senior, Luo Yunzong issued an order a few days ago for Yunxi County to pay tribute directly to them. According to the information I have gathered, it seems that the Zhang family and the Lu family intend to attack the Tan family escort team."
The rickety old man turned his head and glanced at the middle-aged man. After seeing that there was no sign of lying in the other man's expression, he continued to ask:
"Then do your Ji family have any intention to participate?"
Ji Shen lowered his head and cupped his hands and said:
"Senior is joking. Our Ji family is just the last of the six major families. It's too late to avoid it, so how can we dare to step in."
As he was talking, suddenly cold sweat began to break out on the middle-aged man's forehead, and his expression gradually became distorted. It was as if there were countless maggots gnawing inside his body. It was very painful, but even so, Ji Shen Fu still didn't dare to shout out, for fear of disturbing the old man in front of him.
Ou Yezi naturally saw this scene, but to him, the other party's pain was not worthy of mercy at all. He said coldly:
"Do you really want to kill me now?!"
When the middle-aged man heard this sentence, it was like a bolt from the blue. In fact, he did have such emotions when he was first marked with the Qingyun Sword Pattern. But as time went by, the pain became more intense, so that every time he When he thinks of Ou Yezi's appearance, he always shudders and can't help but tremble in his heart. Until now, he doesn't even dare to show the slightest bit of hatred toward him, let alone murderous intent.
Ji Shenfu quickly lowered his back and cupped his hands forward. Apart from pain, there was only fear in his expression now.
"Junior...don't dare..."
The rickety old man just snorted coldly after hearing this, then flicked his sleeves and robe and disappeared into the hall.
As soon as Ou Yezi left, there was a bang, and the middle-aged man immediately curled up on the ground and couldn't help but moan in pain.
An hour later, the pain finally disappeared, but Ji Shenfu still couldn't stand up. At this moment, his whole body was exhausted, and his sleeves had already been soaked with sweat. He looked like he had fallen into a lake. Same, very embarrassed.
Not long after, the middle-aged man lay on his back on the ground, breathing heavily. Recalling the figure of the old man just now, his heart couldn't help but throb. His narrow pupils showed his fear, but In this fear, there was a hint of sinisterness flashing through.
…
After marching for a whole day, everyone felt exhausted. The highly tense mental state caused the entire team's physical strength to drain quickly. It was not until the evening that the leader of the green-armored guard ordered everyone to camp where they were.
Although this place is a broad road, it is still too far away from the next town. Fortunately, there is a river nearby for them to draw water.
Due to the solar terms, the fish in the water are not very big, only half a foot long, but eating meat is better than eating dry bread. Although the fish is not big, there are enough fish for everyone to have a full meal.
The camp of the Huofeng Escort Agency is on the edge. It is divided according to status. The closer you are to the inside, the higher the status. However, each camp has several people responsible for keeping watch in turn. Because everyone is too nervous during the day, it leads to They were all extremely tired at night, and those disciples who didn't have to keep vigil fell asleep, snoring loudly.
Although there were disciples keeping watch all around, they were too tired to hold on. After standing for a while, they sat down on chairs on the ground and leaned against the trees and took a nap.
However, Zhao Feng couldn't sleep. When he was dormant in Tiexin Village, he understood that the more tired the enemy was, the easier it was to attack them. Therefore, he was sure that someone would attack them tonight.
That's why he reminded the other escorts in Huofeng Escort Bureau during the day so that they don't have to be too nervous. The real battle is tonight.
At this moment, Zhao Feng suddenly sensed a black shadow rushing away not far away. The opponent was very fast and disappeared into the dense forest in the blink of an eye. In fact, he was not the only one who sensed the change. There was no change in the tent yet. Helian Haixin, who was sleeping, also noticed it.
Just when they were wondering who the person was, bursts of slight footsteps came from all directions. Judging from the sound, there should be at least seventy or eighty people. The other party came very quickly. Zhao Feng quickly moved everyone from the Huofeng Escort Agency Wake up.
"An enemy is coming, prepare to fight."
In an instant, all the bodyguards stood up in response, quickly picked up the long knives at hand, and stared straight ahead. Fortunately, they listened to the shopkeeper's words during the day and did not expend too much energy, otherwise they would still be drowsy now.
In addition to them, Helian Haixin had also woken up the disciples of the Helian family. As soon as Helianjing woke up, he heard a series of footsteps coming from outside. He was so startled that he quickly stood up and saw At this time, a scream suddenly came from the south.
The people watching the night stood up hurriedly, and saw fires and smoke filling the south.
"Enemy attack, there is an enemy attack!"
"There is an enemy attack from the west!"
"There's one in the north too!"
…………
The noisy crowd made the already loose team even more chaotic, and the warriors present didn't know how to deal with it for a while.
"What happened?"
