Volume 2: The Demonic World Chapter 545 Blood Guard
At the escort agency's headquarters, the injured porters and escorts were treating their wounds, and Wang Hu was directing the remaining intact people to clean up the scene.
It is best to deal with corpses and the like. These corpses can easily attract wild animals, which can cause quite a bit of trouble.
Seeing Lin Qianxing coming back, Wang Hu asked him, "Did anyone get away?"
"Don't worry about me doing the job." Lin Qianxing nodded.
Although the current situation in Dawen Kingdom is not optimistic, their small escort agency is still unable to confront Dawen Kingdom.
So these are obviously people in official positions. After killing them, they also have to find a way to deal with the tail and not let the information leak out, so as to avoid causing real trouble.
"That's good. It seems we are in troubled waters this time," said Wang Hu.
"Didn't we know when we received the escort?" Lin Qianxing consoled him, "These are all minor matters. How are the brothers in the escort agency doing?"
"They are all minor injuries. Apply some medicine and walk slower these two days. They should be better in a few days." Wang Hu said.
With the two powerful men, Lin Qianxing and Wang Hu, they can generally ensure their safety unless they encounter a large number of troops or an ambush.
After all, he is a top figure in the escort business. Are you kidding?
If Wang Hu hadn't been getting older and his enterprising spirit had gradually faded, his business would definitely have been bigger.
After quickly packing up, everyone set off overnight and decided to rest at the post station.
Formal escort agencies cooperate with the government, so the post stations will also be open to them.
During the walk, Wang Hu also issued a silence order, asking everyone to keep the matter to themselves.
At the same time, Wang Hu looked at Lin Qianxing deeply.
When Lin Qianxing threw the flying knife, he thought of something.
In the case of the Jile Pills of the Purple Shand Gang, a master of flying knives and hidden weapons was involved.
He didn't think of Lin Qianxing at first. After all, he was the one who taught Lin Qianxing. How could he not know what methods he had?
But it turned out that he had misjudged and underestimated Lin Qianxing.
I don't know how Lin Qianxing learned such a skill without telling him, and it seems that his skills are quite good.
It’s hidden really deeply!
However, Wang Hu saw through it but didn't say it out loud. He was still very satisfied with Lin Qianxing's cunning.
If you don't have some cunning, you won't survive long.
The group traveled until noon the next day before arriving at the nearest post station and starting to rest.
The other side.
The place where Lin Qianxing and his group had previously clashed.
A group of people wearing black clothes with red edges arrived here on horseback.
If Lin Qianxing were here, he would know that these people were the blood guards of the imperial court.
They are the court's weapons specifically used to deal with internal disputes and only obey the core power group.
He is considered to be a person who specializes in doing shady things.
Among this group of people, the leader was tall, slightly taller than Wang Hu. His muscles held up his clothes, making him look extremely burly.
This man was a centurion in the Blood Guards, named Shen Chuanxin.
He stopped, looked around, and got a lot of information.
"The fight was quick, leaving them no time to react. They were very strong, probably two or three experts. Two escaped, but were caught and killed. Then they dealt with the bodies a little and left. Were the bodies thrown under the cliff?" Shen Chuanxin murmured, "Can these escorts have this much strength? Interesting!"
At the end of his speech, the corners of Shen Chuanxin's mouth curled up slightly, as if he had encountered something worth being happy about.
The reason why he was happy was not anything else but the fact that he met a master.
He fought his way out of the Blood Guards. He might not be interested in being an official, but he would feel unusually excited when he met an enemy who could fight with him.
This would remind him of the days when he had fought in the Blood Guards, and make him feel again how precious it is to be alive.
"Set off!"
Shen Chuanxin gave the order and immediately led his men straight to the direction where the escort agency left.
…
Lin Qianxing and his companions did not rest for long before they set out on their journey again.
Because of the incident that happened, Lin Qianxing, in order to be safe, gave up taking the official road directly. Instead, he changed carriages at the post station and chose another more roundabout route.
As a result, they felt much more relaxed along the way.
They walked for five days without encountering anyone pursuing them .
Just when Lin Qianxing thought they had arrived safely, the sound of urgent bird calls came from the mouth of the pathfinder.
In an instant, everyone became nervous.
Lin Qianxing ordered everyone to keep an eye on the escort vehicle, and at the same time began to shrink the formation and wait for the arrival of the person.
The sound of horse hooves gradually approached, and soon, a group of people wearing black clothes with red edges surrounded the escort carriage with crossbows and weapons in their hands.
"The blood guards of the imperial court are here to do their job. Open the boxes and inspect the goods. Anyone who obstructs will be killed without mercy." Shen Chuanxin said, showing his token.
"Sir, this is against the rules..." Lin Qianxing tried to persuade him.
Thuh~!
Before he finished speaking, two arrows flew directly towards Lin Qianxing.
Lin Qianxing moved extremely quickly. He turned his body and grabbed them all with both hands.
"Don't you understand?" Shen Chuanxin said coldly.
He was tricked by Lin Qianxing's change of route and it took him several days to catch up with them. Now he is very angry.
Lin Qianxing looked at those people holding crossbows with a slightly gloomy expression.
There were at least twenty people in the group, and they were all on guard. This place was not like the previous camp, so there was plenty of room for them to maneuver.
"Open it." Wang Hu patted Lin Qianxing on the shoulder.
Lin Qianxing closed his eyes slightly and said, "Open the window."
On the escort vehicle, the seal of the box containing the goods was opened and the lid was turned up. Shen Chuanxin rode up and looked inside.
There were only some stones in there, nothing else.
Shen Chuanxin looked very unhappy. After taking a deep breath, he looked at everyone angrily and said, "You unruly people are delaying my important work. Shoot!!"
In just a moment, all the crossbows were aimed at the escort team members.
Lin Qianxing and Wang Hu looked at each other and made a judgment in an instant.
"Hide!" Lin Qianxing said this and hid behind the escort cart. At the same time, he picked up a rattan shield from the escort cart and used it to block in front of him. He quickly approached where his weapons were placed.
After blocking two arrows with ease, Lin Qianxing also grasped his long sword .
A horse came charging towards them, and the Blood Guard riding on the horse started slashing with a knife.
Taking advantage of the horse's momentum, Lin Qianxing did not dare to take the blow head-on.
He rolled on the ground, dodged the knife in a very awkward posture, and at the same time kicked the knife with his foot, causing the blade to fly up, then he gripped the handle and slashed forward suddenly.
Phew~!
The man was chopped off the horse by Lin Qianxing.
On the other side, the people from the escort agency were also hiding.
There have been casualties.
The two porters were lying on the ground, their lives or deaths unknown.
The escorts looked for cover and fought hard against them.
But it's obviously not very effective.
These Blood Guards are proficient in encirclement and suppression tactics and are extremely efficient in killing.
Wang Hu was able to handle the situation with ease. While fending off the attacks, he also kept an eye on Shen Chuanxin.
"Sir, please give me a way out!" Wang Hu shouted.
"Want to live? Okay!" Shen Chuanxin said with a smile.
At the same time, he raised his hand to ask the others to stop shooting.
"Sir, if you can let us go, I will reward you handsomely one day," said Wang Hu.
"A generous reward? How much?" Shen Chuanxin asked.
"I'll do whatever it takes, even if it means losing everything I have." Wang Hu said seriously.
As long as you can survive, you can worry about what happens next.
"That is indeed quite heavy." Shen Chuanxin nodded, and then said: "But I don't want this thank you."
"Then what do you want to thank me for, sir?" Wang Hu said.
Shen Chuanxin glanced at the fallen escort flag and said, "You are Wang Hu, the head escort of Shangqing Escort Agency, right? I heard that your nickname is Downhill Tiger, and you are very skilled in using the Tiger Knife. Show me how to use it. If you can beat me by even a little bit, I will let you go."
Of course this was false. Shen Chuanxin had no intention of letting Lin Qianxing and the others go. He just wanted to give Wang Hu a chance to show his strength and make himself happy.
Lin Qianxing held Wang Hu's wrist, and Wang Hu gave him a look in return, the meaning of which Lin Qianxing understood.
Wang Hu also didn't believe that the other party would let them go. He just wanted to delay time and look for an opportunity.
"Since the master appreciates me, how can I spoil his interest?" Wang Hu stood out from the crowd.
"good!"
Shen Chuanxin patted the horse's back, jumped off the horse, and at the same time pulled out the weapon that had been placed on the horse.
What he used was also a knife.
It's just a long-handled knife.
Lin Qianxing was quite familiar with this, as he had used this kind of weapon for some time.
Shen Chuanxin stepped onto the ground, slightly raised his head, and directly started the attack with a powerful move.
Faced with this powerful blow, Wang Hu did not dodge. Instead, he held the knife with both hands and pushed forward from bottom to top.
clang~!
Wang Hu lowered his knees slightly and stepped back a little to absorb the force, then turned around and fought again .
The two were fighting fiercely, while Lin Qianxing was watching the others, wanting to see if there was any chance.
However, those people were still holding their crossbows and had no intention of giving them any chance.
clang clang clang clang~!
The sound of weapons clashing continued to be heard, and Wang Hu was struggling to fight.
After all, he is old, while Shen Chuanxin is in his peak form, so he would be at a disadvantage if they fought.
Lin Qianxing could see that Wang Hu's arms were shaking a little, obviously due to fatigue caused by excessive muscle explosion.
However, Lin Qianxing still had no intention of going up to help.
Firstly, he couldn't act rashly, and secondly, Wang Hu still had a killer move that he hadn't used.
"Where's your move called Tiger Descending the Mountain? Are you afraid to use it? Or are you unable to use it?" Shen Chuanxin asked, forcing Wang Hu to retreat with a knife.
Hearing this, Lin Qianxing raised his eyebrows slightly, and Wang Hu's expression also changed slightly.
I didn't expect that the other party knew this much about Wang Hu.
Lin Qianxing thought that the other party, relying on his position as a member of the imperial court, would not investigate too much into the minor characters in the martial arts world. He did not expect that the other party would actually have the leisure to investigate these details.
Wang Hu's knife-holding posture changed slightly, and he said with a sharp look in his eyes: "Then please teach me, sir!"
