After lunch, the muddy and slippery ground had been dried by the sun, and Qin Yao and his party set off again.

The next post station was thirty miles away. In order to arrive before dark, the carriage ran at full speed, almost vomiting Jin Doudan, who was still healthy.

Looking at Liu Ji who was holding a book in the car and reading quietly, his body rising and falling with the carriage, and Qin Yao who was motionless on the shaft of the carriage, Jin Dou wondered whether he was too weak and the carriage was too bumpy. the illusion.

He looked at the scorching sun outside the window. Who would have thought that in such weather, it would rain heavily at night, or for several days in a row?

Jin Dou covered his mouth and resisted the turbulence in his stomach with all his heart, already worried about the next trip.

Setting off after noon every day, we have to catch up with the next station before dark. This trip is indeed a bit stressful.

But sleeping outdoors is even more dangerous.

So, bear with it, haven’t you endured it all the way from the capital to now, and it’s only two or three days away.

While rushing during the day, Jin Dou felt a lot of complaints in his heart.

But when he checked into the inn at night, he was extremely lucky that he was so hot-headed that he hired Qin Yao as a guard at a high price of two hundred taels of silver.

The enemy behind the scenes is really extremely arrogant!

I sent one person the day before, but he didn't return.

Tonight, a team of five people actually came.

In the middle of the night, Jin Dou suddenly woke up from his heavy murderous intention and saw that the small guest room was crowded with people.

Under the lightning and thunder, five sharp knives danced tightly in front of the bed.

However, these killing moves were all blocked by one person.

Realizing that the person behind her had woken up, Qin Yao glanced back and was secretly annoyed. How could she frighten the customer? !

Turning around, facing the five killers, he thought that since everyone was awake, there was no need to restrain himself.

The murderous intent suddenly rose in his eyes. He turned away from his previous carelessness and pulled out the long sword wrapped in the scabbard. With the power of sweeping thousands of troops, he swung forward and harvested two lives.

The remaining three people were shocked when they noticed such a terrifying change. Just now, they thought that they were outnumbered and that this woman could barely handle it. They never expected that they were teasing them and didn't use their full strength at all.

At this moment, Qin Yao's domineering aura enveloped him, and the remaining three people were shocked and wanted to retreat.

It's not that they are afraid of death, but that the target person is much stronger than expected, and they want to bring this news out immediately and inform the master.

Qin Yao could see the intention of the remaining three to retreat at a glance, and immediately struck with the long knife in his hand.

Because there is such a disparity in strength between the two sides, even if they are dexterous and agile in dodge, all their moves will be futile under the heavy blow of absolute power.

As soon as the blade was smashed, the huge impact knocked all three people away!

After three muffled sounds, there was a terrifying crisp sound of the neck bone being broken.

Qin Yao killed three people in a row, caught their bodies that were about to hit the ground, and gently placed them on the ground, ending this counterattack without any suspense.

"Five, twenty-five taels of silver. If it reaches ten, I will give you a 20% discount."

Qin Yao took out a small abacus and punched out the price of burial. She handed it to Jin Dou's wide eyes and waited for his confirmation.

"Thank you for your hard work." Jin Dou hesitated for a moment, then swallowed secretly and nodded reluctantly.

Qin Yao put away her abacus with satisfaction and smiled happily at him, "It's okay. It's not hard. You can continue to sleep. I will clean the house right now."

After finishing speaking, he bent down and carried away the two men who were stabbed to death by the knife.

He quickly returned in less than half a minute and dragged out the three with broken necks.

Liu Ji, who was dug out of bed by Qin Yao in the middle of the night, yawned, came in with a bucket and a rag, quickly cleaned up the blood on the floor, exited silently, and closed the door thoughtfully.

At the end of the day, I also sprinkled on a handful of spices that I had received from my junior senior brother and that I was reluctant to use on weekdays to cover up the smell of blood so that my employer could sleep peacefully. Throughout the whole process, Jin Dou just sat on the bed, hugging the thin quilt. He didn't even need to get out of bed, and the trouble was solved.

Smelling the fragrance of lotus flowers in the air, Jin Dou let out a long breath, thinking that if he was driving during the day, the carriage would bump a little, and he would fall asleep happily.

The rain tapered off in the middle of the night, and the sky cleared by dawn.

The sun rose and the slippery ground slowly dried out. At noon, the four of them set off on their way again.

Today seemed to go smoothly, and it was very close to Kaiyang County. Qin Yao felt like he was on his own territory. Most of the passersby were familiar faces.

Even if they can't call each other by name, they will nod and greet each other.

The carriage bumped all the way, and when they arrived at the inn, everyone had a simple dinner and then took a rest.

Unexpectedly, this rainy night was not disturbed, and I slept peacefully until dawn.

The rain also became much lighter, and the ground was completely dry after being exposed to the sun all morning.

Qin Yao decided to leave early so that he could enter Kaiyang County before the city gate closed.

If everything goes well and the speed is faster, they will still have time to leave the city and return to Liujia Village after sending Jin Dou to the county government office.

Therefore, as soon as the ground was dry, everyone set off immediately.

The blue sky and white clouds, the gentle breeze blowing on his face, the air filled with the fragrance of rice wafting from the fields, and his improving health, Jin Dou rarely had a moment to enjoy.

But despite such peace, he still felt uneasy. Although victory was just ahead, he always felt that something bad would happen during this last short journey.

Liu Ji replaced Qin Yao and came to the carriage shaft to drive with Song Yu. He was thinking about how much money he made from burying corpses in the past two days.

The evil woman agreed to give him half. She buried six people in the first two times, each with five taels of silver, and half of the money was fifteen taels of silver.

Thinking of this, the sadness of losing five taels of silver in Fucheng Inn is completely gone!

It's a pity that the weather is calm today, so I'm afraid I won't be able to make more money.

When Liu Jizheng felt pity, he suddenly felt a shadow on his head.

Looking up, he saw that the carriage had left the unobstructed road and entered a quiet forest.

At this time in the middle of the afternoon, there were no visitors in front of them and no business travelers behind them. There was only their carriage driving alone in the woods.

Liu Ji was inexplicably excited. Isn't this the best time to assassinate?

He glanced back at his employer, who was half asleep in the carriage, and then turned back to scan the surrounding woods. He didn't know if it was his imagination, but he seemed to hear some rustling noises.

In the carriage, Jin Dou, who was pretending to be asleep, suddenly opened his eyes and called out to Qin Yao, who was really napping: "Qin Yao, wake up!"

She slowly opened her eyes.

At this time, the carriage had stopped.

Song Yu and Liu Jizheng looked suspiciously at a group of people running over on horseback from across the forest path.

They are not uniformly dressed and well-trained killers, but a group of young and strong men in ordinary clothes riding various variegated ponies.

The first one looked so familiar to Liu Ji that he didn't dare to recognize him - it was Song Zhang.

Qin Yao looked at the visitor strangely, then looked back at Jin Dou who suddenly looked surprised in the carriage, frowning and asked: "The person you called?"
