"Seven people and three horses are not enough for us to ride. Besides, what if the three horses also have problems?" Bai Ye frowned, not realizing that they would be plotted against.
"That's better than staying here." Fang Qing wanted to leave, even if he threw all the rogue horses here, Fang Qing didn't care.
"Why don't you let the princess and Wang Yang, Fang Qing and Ni Youbin go first, while Lu Yunyou, Miss Wang and I stay behind?" After thinking for a while, Bai Ye came up with an idea.
"No, if the three of you are in danger, how will we save you, and what if the princess follows us and encounters danger?" Thinking that after they are separated, their strength will be even weaker, Fang Qing is optimistic about Bai Ye's idea.
"Then what should we do?" Several people talked to each other and rejected all the methods proposed by others.
While others were getting anxious about the current situation, Lu Yunyou's heart was trembling. Originally, because he learned about the experiences of Ni Youbin and Wang Xuan in the mountains, he kept reminding himself that it was necessary to be on guard against others. But today, he was being counted against. Not aware at all.
Now it seems that the agreement that Bai Ye and the king's guard made about releasing people just now was completely a delaying tactic for the other party to deceive them.
Unexpectedly, he was plotted by those people unknowingly. When he lamented that those people's methods were unpredictable, Lu Yunyou felt even more scared. However, the current situation was so urgent, but he couldn't think of any good solution because he was in a confused state of mind. "Don't worry about those five horses. Let's go first. We can go as far as we can." Seeing that no one could come up with a better idea, Bai Ye could only suggest this.
"Bai Ye is right, the princess's safety is more important than those slave horses," Fang Qing then directly expressed his approval of Bai Ye's proposal.
"It's too late." Unfortunately, the next moment, Lu Yunyou called out to them, because Lu Yunyou had already seen some figures appearing on the left and right sides.
"Brother Lu, what did you say?" Turning around slowly, Bai Ye looked confused and wanted to ask Lu Yunyou for clarification.
"We have been surrounded by them," Lu Yunyou said, pointing to some figures on the left and right and saying to a few people: "Those should be their people."
"How do you know those people are coming for us? Shouldn't we be in front of them?" Seeing that the two groups were not chasing them from behind, Fang Qing couldn't understand what Lu Yunyou meant.
However, it was very easy for Lu Yunyou to answer Fang Qing's question, because Lu Yunyou saw the two groups coming towards them at the same time, and now the same situation appeared behind them, with more than a dozen people riding towards them on horseback. .
Seeing the old man in sackcloth among the people coming from a distance, Lu Yunyou suddenly became worried about their situation. In addition, because he was unintentionally plotted by the other party before, he was still a little afraid of those people.
"It's really here!" After also discovering those people on horseback, Fang Qing no longer had any doubts about Lu Yunyou's guess.
"Could it be someone from the army?" Feeling lucky, Wang Yang wanted to ask if there would be members of the Star Army among the visitors. If so, perhaps their crisis could be resolved.
"They are all their people," Lu Yunyou responded lightly, but Lu Yunyou made everyone's mood sink to the bottom with a straightforward answer.
"Brother Lu, what should we do now?" Based on the situation on the left and right, Bai Ye can guess that the other party must have come well prepared, and the number of people far exceeds them. More importantly, the other party also has a seventh-level martial arts leader. What happened in the city before, Bai Ye couldn't help but think that if they were caught by those people, they would not end well.
"Protect the princess, and wait for those people to come over." Seeing the people on horseback getting closer and closer to them, Lu Yunyou's heartbeat continued to speed up, and the feeling of danger became stronger and stronger.
"Huh..." What is supposed to come will always come, and not long after, the old man in sackcloth and others stopped directly in front of them. The leader was Shi Jie, whom they had let go before, and there were more than ten martial arts cultivators beside him.
"Guys, you didn't expect it? We meet again so soon." After those people stopped one after another, Shi Jie at the front of the team immediately provoked Lu Yunyou and the others, with a proud look on his face. How could he have begged for mercy from them before? The pitiful look.
"What do you want?" At this point, as the oldest person among the seven, Bai Ye stood up naturally.
"You few short-sighted people dare to embarrass me in public in the city. I will make you repay tenfold," Shi Jie looked at them coldly with a condescending look.
"Do you want me to do it myself, or do you want to take the initiative to capture them without mercy?" Following Shi Jie's instructions, the next moment, the old man in sackcloth looked directly at them with an unfriendly expression.
"If you are willing to surrender, I may give you a way to survive, otherwise you will all die," Shi Jie added immediately as if he felt that the threat of the old man in sackcloth was not thoughtful enough.
After he and the old man in Mai finished talking, Lu Yunyou and the two groups of people on the left and right all surrounded them, blocking all their escape routes in a blink of an eye.
"What should we do?" Seeing that they had no way to escape, Bai Ye could only turn around and ask others for their opinions.
When Bai Ye's eyes stopped on Lu Yunyou, Lu Yunyou had already looked around. There were twenty-seven people on the other side, one seventh-level martial artist, four sixth-level martial cultivators, and the rest were all fifth-level martial cultivators. Their overall strength should not be underestimated. watch for.
The people in the City Lord's Mansion went to great lengths to retaliate against them, but to Lu Yunyou, if the old man Mai was not around, the opponent's overall strength was not something to be afraid of. It was a pity that because of the old man Mai's presence, everything became difficult.
Based on his fights with Liu Qianmu and others in the mountains, Lu Yunyou is now very afraid of people who are much higher than him. In his opinion, those people have learned advanced martial arts and have special skills, so they are not easy to deal with at all.
As for Fang Qing and others, the presence or absence of the old man in sackcloth does not matter much. The key is that there are too many opponents, and the overall strength is not something they can resist.
"Everyone, be careful." He didn't know how far Ni Youbin, who had always been taciturn, had recovered. Lu Yunyou could only treat Ni Youbin as a fifth-level martial arts cultivator. Now they only had three sixth-level martial arts cultivators who could use them to deal with the old man in Mai.
"What are you talking about there? Are you discussing how to deal with us?" While Lu Yunyou was calmly thinking about what to do, Shi Jie urged him with a smile.
"You don't have to worry about it," Lu Yunyou, who had not yet thought about what to do, responded directly to Shi Jie's disgusting and shameless face.
"If you don't drink a toast, you'll have to drink a fine drink," he snorted coldly. Shi Jie was directly angered by Lu Yunyou's response. He immediately looked at the old man in Mai and said, "Old Yan, please lead someone to capture them as soon as possible. Except for those two women, don't kill them." , everyone else can be executed on the spot.”
Having hurt the face of the City Lord's Mansion, and now they don't know whether to live or die, in Shi Jie's eyes, Lu Yunyou and the others' death is simply not a pity.
"Don't worry, young master, I will do as you are told." He was not a good person himself, but seeing that Shi Jie was also very interested in Lanrou and Wang Xuan, as the guest elder of the Shi family, the old man in sackcloth immediately agreed with a respectful expression.
"Commander Li, and Commander Zhang, you two will take them down with me," the old man in sackcloth said directly to the other two guard captains as he passed by Lu Yunyou and others, then turned to look at Guard Wang and said, "Guard Wang, You and others should protect the young master’s safety.”
The old man in sackcloth still clearly remembered what happened just now when Lu Yunyou caught Shi Jie by surprise. Now that they had enough manpower, in order to prevent the same mistake from happening again, he naturally had to arrange personnel to protect Shi Jie first, so that he could deal with Lu Yunyou and the other seven with confidence.
"Yes," the next moment, the three guard captains agreed after receiving the order.
"What should I do?" On the other side, seeing the critical situation, Bai Ye asked again.
"Fight them," the person who answered was Fang Qing. After losing his retreat, Fang Qing only had this idea.
"I wonder if any of you are willing to be my opponent?" Just when a few people were nervous, the old man in sackcloth leaped off his horse and landed in front of Lu Yunyou and others.
"Despicable and shameless, you are just relying on your high cultivation to bully us." Seeing the old man in sackcloth walking straight towards them, Fang Qing was furious for a moment, and Fang Qing scolded him directly.
"If I really want to bully you, I won't give you a chance to take action. If you don't know how to be content, then don't blame me for picking an opponent at will." With a sneer, the old man in Mai didn't care about the strength of these people at all.
"Bai Ye and I are responsible for dealing with him." Facing a seventh-level martial artist, Lu Yunyou didn't dare to underestimate the enemy at all. He never thought about whether he and Bai Ye could defeat him together, but he just felt that it would be safer to do so.
"Miss Wang, you and Wang Yang first hold off the two sixth-level martial arts cultivators. Everyone else is focusing on self-protection." Before a few people could speak, Lu Yunyou added. At this critical moment, Lu Yunyou's performance was obviously calmer than the others. , which is why Bai Ye always seeks his advice.
