mortal clerk

Chapter 44

It is said that when Lao Shen accompanied Deacon Mu and Master and his team out of the market with the convoy, it was already moonlight.

Deacon Mu said a little tiredly:

"This captain is really serious. He agreed to come and meet us when he found out about the secret sentry! It's getting dark, and he hasn't come yet!"

Old Shen said: "Maybe something has delayed it."

Deacon Mu snorted coldly: "I'm afraid I'm not only focusing on hanging out with that Gillian, but forgetting my own responsibilities!"

"How could the captain be that kind of person!"

Deacon Mu didn't bother with Old Shen, but instead praised Mo Wen and Mo Wu, the two fourth-rank guards behind him.

"The two brothers are still doing their duty!"

Mo Wen smiled and cupped his hands: "Deacon Mu is amazing! I dare not compare with the captain!"

Mo Wu also echoed: "Dare to do your best!"

Deacon Mu deliberately flattered the two of them and took the opportunity to satirize Old Shen, so he took a meaningful look at Old Shen's expression.

"You two brothers don't need to be overly humble. It's rare for you two fourth-rank masters to be so conscientious. With your help, this journey will be much quieter!"

"Where is!"

Old Shen knew that Deacon Mu was deliberately mocking him, and was about to refute.But there was a tidy running sound from behind.

"The caravan ahead, quickly avoid it."

Several people turned their heads and saw a group of sergeants running to the west. They were wondering why there was an army rushing so late.Quickly order the handlebar to stop and avoid.After the soldiers walked away, Lao Shen seemed to see a thin figure turning out of the alley and following them.I thought it would be better not to meddle in other people's business, so I continued to set off.

The convoy turned around a few more intersections, and there happened to be a small shop that was not yet closed. Deacon Mu waited for a day of business talks and hadn't had dinner yet, so everyone stopped to get something to eat, let's put on the bar mat first, and wait until they return to the inn Have another good meal.

At this time, a few business travelers and guards came from the direction of Yuqiu Ferry Inn, talking among themselves.

"The yufu spy upstairs just now is really powerful. I heard that he is no match for General Ah!"

"I don't know what's going on behind the scene! I wanted to see the excitement, but it's a pity!"

"Look at the excitement, we can't afford to offend either the government or the Yufu spies!"

"Have you heard that many masters just died on the official road!"

"Someone is here, don't talk nonsense..."

Old Shen thought to himself, could it be that something happened to the inn?The captain is also late, could it be related to this?With doubts, he drank some wine and ate some snacks, but vaguely heard someone shouting.

"Xiao Niu, where have you been? Xiao Niu..."

After careful identification, it was Li's second voice, and Lao Shen hurriedly asked Deacon Mu for leave.Although Deacon Mu was displeased, Li Er Er had signed a blood contract with him after all, so he had no choice but to agree.

Lao Shen followed the sound and walked through several alleys, when he heard Li's second son screaming "Ah" and a strange voice.

"Old stuff! Not a lot"

"go!"

Then there was another "bang", as if something had been hit.

Old Shen was shocked, it's terrible!Going forward at top speed, finally in a dark alley, I saw Li Lao Er lying beside a broken urn and two figures running away quickly.He hurriedly picked up two broken urn fragments from the ground and flew away. Two figures fell to the ground in response. One was hit in the back of the head and died on the spot. The other was hit in the back and sank into the flesh.

Old Shen was not in a hurry to go forward to check, and hurriedly helped Li Lao Er, only to see that Li Lao Er was bleeding all over his face, but he had been hit hard on the head, and his life was dying and he could not breathe.

"Brother Li! Brother Li, you..."

Li Laoer, who was dying, saw Lao Shen, his eyes protruded, and he spat out a mouthful of blood.

"calf………"

Old Shen certainly knew what he meant, so he quickly replied:
"I will definitely find him!"

Li Lao Er tried his best to point to his bosom again, and Lao Shen reached out to touch it, and took out a square cloth bag.

"Do you want me to hand it over to Li Qingniu?"

Second Li: "Yeah"

With a roar, his body twitched for a while, and he completely lost his vitality!A pair of unwilling and resentful eyes stared at Old Shen.

Old Shen was also very sad, thinking that if he didn't go to ask for leave, he could arrive sooner, maybe Li Lao Er wouldn't die!Looking at Li's second son who couldn't rest in peace, Lao Shen firmly said:
"Don't worry, I will take good care of the little cow!"

As he spoke, he wiped it with his hand, and Li Er Er finally closed his eyes.At this time, Xiao Anzi also asked for leave and followed Old Shen to find him. When he reached the intersection, he couldn't see what was going on inside, so he yelled towards the alley.

"Guard Shen! Is that you? Did you find Uncle Li?"

Old Shen looked at Xiao Anzi at the intersection, sighed, and said sadly:

"Come here! Your Uncle Li is dead?"

"Ah? How did you die?"

Xiao Anzi hurried to the front, but seeing the bloodstained Li Er Er had closed his eyes, he burst into tears.

"Uncle Li, Uncle Li, you..."

"Shen Wei, how is this possible? Uncle Li is such a good person, how could he be like this?..."

Old Shen looked at Xiao Anzi, who was sitting slumped on the ground crying, and couldn't help but think of the scene with Li Laoer for more than three months, and the resignation and determination of Li Laoer when he took Yangyang Pill in order to send Li Qingniu to study all the way...

Can't help sighing: "Maybe this is his fate!"

I thought to myself, when I first saw him, the cold air in my body was severely eroded, and when the oil was almost exhausted, I thought I could continue it with the help of Yangyang Pill. Alas, maybe this is fate. No matter what method is used, the damn thing will still die. But in a different way.

After a long silence, he walked in front of the two people he had just hit, took out a fire and lit it. It was the two gangsters who blackmailed Li's second son in the morning and were beaten away by him.The resentment in his heart was uncontrollable, facing the fat man who was still twitching, he lifted it violently, like a sandbag, flew out and hit the steps, completely silent.

I wanted to turn around and leave, but saw a bag dropped from the fat man's hand, picked it up and saw that it contained more than 50 gold coins.Looking at the money bag and cloth bag in his hands, Lao Shen didn't know what to say.When Xiao Anzi said, "Where's Li Qingniu?"

Only then did he suddenly remember that the second Li was going out to look for Li Qingniu, and he thought of the figure following behind the army just now.There was no time to explain, so I explained to Xiao Anzi.

"You go to Deacon Mu, and I'll go to Li Qingniu."

Then he ran towards the west, praying in his heart while running: "Boy, don't let anything happen to you, your second father entrusted you to me, I will never break my promise!"

After Lao Shen ran out of the street, he didn't find Li Qingniu. He saw a mountain road going up along the Nantong River, and continued to run for six or seven miles without stopping, when he heard a loud roar coming from a distance. It looks like a cow but not a cow, not like an ordinary beast, but it is very frightening, even more frightening.

"Boy, don't have any accidents!"

Then I ran for a little more than a mile, and met a guard soldier who ran from the front in a panic, whose strength was between the first and second ranks.Hurry up and ask:

"Have you ever seen a boy of twelve or thirteen years old?"

The man didn't answer, but just shouted:

"The carp has turned into a dragon, it has turned into a dragon! Dead people, dead people..." He went down the mountain.

Old Shen ran a few hundred steps and saw several corpses of soldiers lying on the side of the road. He was afraid that there might be Li Qingniu, so he hurried forward to check, but luckily there was no Li Qingniu.With a little peace of mind, he continued to move forward for another few hundred steps, but saw the light of the torch in the distance, as if he was searching for something.So he slowed down, hid in the bushes and dense forest, and moved forward quietly.

"Boy, where are you!"

At this time, Li Qingniu, who was squatting behind the boulder, was nervous. Seeing that a soldier holding a torch was about to search the boulder, under the pressure of his heart, his fear turned into anger, and there seemed to be a voice in his heart, "Poke it out!", Then regardless of whether he got up and raised his sword, he stabbed upwards.

The soldier didn't notice Li Qingniu, and was about to turn around, but this sudden sword pierced his heart just once in the gap of the armor under his left rib.He looked back at Li Qingniu with a ferocious face.

"you"

Then he stared and fell down.Seeing him fall suddenly, several soldiers around shouted.

"What are you doing, be careful!" He quickly surrounded him.

When Li Qingniu was afraid, he closed his eyes and poked around, but felt his hand sank, as if something was connected, he quickly drew back the iron sword, and then a hot stream sprayed his face, when he opened his eyes, he saw a pair of tight Staring at his own eyes and the iron sword, the dark blood on his hands and chest, there was also a stench.

"Did I kill? I killed! How could I kill?."

When Liu Ang and Asina quickly jumped in front of Li Qingniu, they were shocked to see Li Qingniu's dazed expression of fear!
"How could it be you? Why are you here!"

He also saw Prince Yufu lying in the grass behind Li Qingniu.

"It turns out that you are also a spy of the Yufu Kingdom! Then the previous promise doesn't count, you die with him!"

After saying that, he raised the sword in his hand and was about to cut it off towards Li Qingniu.But he saw a figure rushing out from the side, raised his knife to catch Liu Ang's sword that had been cut down, grabbed Li Qingniu who was in a daze, and threw it back, about a foot away, just landed beside Xiaobai.It was Lao Shen who came.

Liu Ang was seriously injured, but when he sneaked up on the black tiger, he hit the black tiger with all his strength, aggravated his injury, and shot an arrow from a mile away. In addition, he didn't use all his strength when facing Li Qingniu, so that his sword power was blocked by only a third-rank opponent. Under the old Shen's crotch.

When it became clear that the person who came was no more than a third-rank martial artist, he looked at the unbelievable eyes of Asina and the others, became angry from embarrassment, endured the pain and swung his sword back, and Lao Shen hurriedly blocked it with his knife.Unexpectedly, with the sound of gold and iron, the long knife broke into two pieces, and flew out.I was terrified in my heart, if the long knife hadn't blocked the blow, I'm afraid I would have died.

Li Qingniu finally woke up from his dementia and shouted:

"Old Shen!"

Immediately, he picked up the iron sword on the ground and rushed to Old Shen.

"Uncle Shen, how are you doing?"

Old Shen stood up like a carp, pulled Li Qingniu behind him, held up half of the long knife and said:
"Run!"

Liu Ang saw that this person was nothing to be afraid of, but he still dared to stand up and said contemptuously:
"Another yufu spy, you all die together!"

As soon as the words fell, a black shadow flickered behind him, as if there was a strong wind, and all the torches were extinguished. Asina shouted, "Be careful!" Then he blocked it with a knife, only to feel a huge force hit him, and the person with the knife Fly far away.

But Liu Ang's attention was focused on Lao Shen, and when he turned his head, a long spear had arrived, piercing through his chest, even though he was wearing soft armor, it was useless.Looking ahead with disbelief.

"It's you!"

The figure didn't answer, passed over the standing Liu Ang, pulled out the spear from behind him, went straight to Xiao Bai, twisted it up, and galloped back like flying.

Liu Ang wouldn't believe it until he died, but he died like this!He was full of unwillingness, but when the spear passed through his chest, it turned into blood donation and sprayed out, and slowly fell forward to the ground.

This scene was too sudden and too terrifying. Although Asuna had several broken bones all over his body, he was not unconscious. He wanted to get up and chase after him, but then he thought of catching up with a dead end, and he didn't want Yufu Shizi to die. Here, he pretended to be unconscious, closed his eyes and fell down.

And Lao Shen seemed to have seen something in a trance when the shadow was holding the gun, and he didn't dare to speak. Li Qingniu saw that Xiao Bai was taken away again, and said anxiously:

"Uncle Shen, hurry up and save Xiaobai!"

Old Shen hesitated for a while, pulled Li Qingniu and chased him out.

The remaining six or seven sergeants saw that Asina was "seriously injured and unconscious" and that so many brothers had died overnight, so they had no intention of fighting, so they carried the bodies of Asina and Liu Ang to flee for their lives and went down the mountain.
