Reborn as a wolf

Chapter 23 Rivers and Lakes

Wang Jiu is a security guard who travels around the rivers and lakes. He is about 30 years old, more than nine feet tall, bald, with thick eyebrows and big eyes. He is clean-shaven. He is wearing a light blue bodyguard uniform and carries a tiger back. With a machete and cowhide boots, he is very mighty, more than enough to deter a group of young people.

This time Wang Jiu led a team of escorts from Ningzhou to Jingzhou. The convoy consisted mainly of seven or eight carriages, accompanied by about 20 escorts, all of whom were powerful.

The first person was Wang Jiu, majestic and majestic, behind him was carrying a large flag, and wrote four big characters - Zhenyuan Escort Bureau, the convoy traveled day and night, but no one showed fatigue, well-trained, obviously all of them were elites scholar.

The silk tea leaves in the dart carriages this time are bright darts, while the old and young people sitting in one of the carriages are dark darts, and the latter is the most important thing.

Zhenyuan Escort Bureau is a time-honored brand of Ningzhou Escort Bureau. It has been traveling to and from various states and counties for more than 20 years. It has traveled all the way through bloody storms, and has dealt with heroes from various mountains and caves. This time-honored brand of Zhenyuan Escort Bureau is watered with blood. What came out was the accumulation of countless corpses, and it was the great reputation accumulated little by little by the older generation of bodyguards who threw their heads and blood.

Wang Jiu's joining the Zhenyuan Escort Bureau is not long compared to the older generation of bodyguards, but it is definitely not short in the Zhenyuan Escort Bureau. It has been more than eight years. He is highly valued by the current head of the Zhenyuan Escort Bureau, so the head of the Zhenyuan Escort Bureau is very relieved to lead the team to walk the darts this time.

As the sun sets, the horseshoes are tight.

The Xiongjian bodyguard carrying the banner leaned up to Wang Jiu and said with a smile: "Master Jiu, Jingyang Slope is in front of you. After passing this slope, you will be on the official road. It is only twenty miles away from the gate of Jingzhou. After that, take the brothers to drink flower wine."

Wang Jiu said unhurriedly: "This business has been going smoothly. Maybe it's the heroes of the green forest who gave us Zhenyuan escorts, but we must not relax if we don't see the city wall of Jingzhou."

Xiong Jian nodded and said: "I understand."

In the second-to-last carriage, an old man and a young man sat cross-legged. The old man was about five or sixty years old, with a white face and a beardless appearance. He was dressed like a housekeeper, with his hands folded in his sleeves, and his eyes closed; At the age of 60 years, with red lips and white teeth, it seems that she looks like a man and a woman, and she is far away from Wang Jiu's masculinity. , was holding a volume of scriptures and studying them carefully. There were many books and five classics scattered around him in the carriage.

The young man put down his book, frowned slightly, raised the curtain of the car, and shouted to the bald leader, "Wang Jiu."

Wang Jiu turned back after hearing the words, rode his horse and galloped like walking on flat ground, came up to the young man, and said, "What is the employer's order?"

"Cars and horses drive slowly. You send one person to Jingyangpo to explore the road first, and then return after passing [-] steps; then send another person to go behind to investigate and return after [-] steps. This journey is too smooth. The quieter it is, it's because it's too quiet, so quiet that I can't hear the birds singing in the woods, that's why I feel inappropriate."

Bald-headed Wang Jiu suddenly remembered that when the beasts were hunting their prey, the birds were already silent.

Immediately, cold sweat soaked the skirt of bald Wang Jiu's clothes.

Under the arrangement of the bald Wang Jiu, the convoy deliberately slowed down, and two riders galloped away, one in front and one behind.

It is only a hundred steps away from Jingyangpo.

Before the employer could say anything, the bald-headed Wang Jiu, who had experienced many battles, already sensed something was wrong, and shouted loudly: "Stop, everyone is on level one alert."

According to the small employer's instructions, the spies who had gone five hundred steps to explore the road in Jingyangpo should have returned, but in the end there was still no news, not even the sound of horseshoes.

The bald Wang Jiu's expression changed drastically.

On Jingyang Slope, a tall horse first appeared, and immediately one of them was holding two huge axes, his upper body was naked, and his appearance was arrogant and bloodthirsty.

Then fifty riders appeared from the side of the path, all wearing leather armor, half of the people in the front row had spears, and half of the people in the back row were holding bows and arrows, laughing wildly.

The bald-headed Wang Jiu made a quick decision, with a resolute expression, and said loudly: "Everyone charge forward collectively and kill them."

The team of 20 quickly formed a conical arrow formation, without the slightest jerk or stagnation, and the horses under their crotches charged forward in a uniform manner.

Unexpectedly, dust was flying in front of them, and a cavalry team of about [-] to [-] people came from Jingyangpo and rushed forward, blocking the way of the convoy.

"kill."

Without too many words, the two sides launched their own charges, fighting hand to hand, and collided with each other.

All of a sudden, the sound of horseshoes, strings being pulled out, weapons unsheathed, swords clashing, and the sounds of fighting between the two sides intertwined into a song of death-death souls, roaring one after another, screaming one after another, like beating notes, jumping up. dance of death.

It is beautiful and violent, and the smell of blood splashes everywhere.

The old housekeeper who kept his hands in his sleeves lifted the curtain slightly, opened his eyes, and said without changing his expression: "Young master, there is an ambush among us."

The young man with red lips and white teeth frowned slightly, picked up the book he had just put down, and said, "How long can they last?"

"One stick of incense time."

The old butler reached out his hand seemingly casually, grabbed a stray arrow that was shot towards the carriage, stared at the iron arrow on the arrow shaft, and said with a slight smile, "If the man with the two giant axes doesn't make a move."

The young man turned his head away, lifted the curtain of the car, looked at the naked brawny man standing proudly on Jingyang Slope and watching the battle, sighed slightly, and said, "Old butler, you can tell where the other party came from." Is it?"

The old butler pondered for a moment, shook his head slightly, smiled bitterly, and said, "The only thing that is certain is that this is not an ordinary robber who cut the trail, but a well-trained private army, which should come from the family's elite guards."

"Hehe." The young man laughed at himself and said, "Mostly it was the arms of my useless brothers who intercepted and killed me outside the city of Jingzhou and blamed it on the bandits."

The bald Wang Jiu's eyes were bloodshot, and he was covered in blood. The blood belonged to others and his own. The strong man carrying the banner by his side had already been shrouded in horse leather, and now he was the only one left standing.

"Kill, I'll pay for killing one, and I'll earn one if I kill two."

The bald Wang Jiu gave a loud shout, and rushed forward fiercely without fear of death. At this moment, a giant Xuanhua ax came crashing down on his face. The ax, followed by a "clang", the huge force from the Xuanhua giant ax broke through the tiger-back machete of the bald Wang Jiu, and the bald Wang Jiu was divided into two. In the hands of a strong man with a naked upper body.

"Search."

The naked-chested burly man said with a grin, and then walked forward with big strides.

The leather knights around either took a shot at the bodyguard who was still alive on the ground, or searched for the gold and silver on the body of the bodyguard and put them into their bosoms, they all laughed.

Soon, these leather knights locked their eyes on the belongings of the seven or eight carriages, jumped on the carriages one after another, and searched inside the carriages.

Suddenly, a half-century-old man wearing a butler's uniform easily broke the necks of several leather armored guards. He strode out of the carriage with a sneer on the corner of his mouth.

"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh."

A rain of arrows shot towards the old butler. The old butler flicked his long sleeves indifferently. The arrows shot back as if they had been casted by a spell, and the screams of the leather armored guards resounded. .

The naked-chested burly man focused his eyes, and said with a smirk, "It seems he's still a practitioner, brothers, shoulder to shoulder and chop him up."

"kill."

The leather armored guards with long hairs rushed forward one after another. The old butler walked calmly as if taking a walk in the courtyard, raising his palms and slapping the void. One after another, the leather armored guards exploded and their flesh and blood flew everywhere.

Immediately, the naked-chested burly man carried two giant Xuanhua axes, and rushed away like a mad bull. The old housekeeper made a circle with his left hand, and quickly slapped several palms with his right hand to the surrounding leather guards.

The naked-chested burly man raised the giant Xuanhua axe and slashed at the old housekeeper. The old butler stuck his left hand to the surface of the Xuanhua giant axe. The ax accidentally injured several leather guards around him.

At this time, a huge shadow appeared in the sky, hovering in the sky, and a giant eagle with a size of three feet landed on the ground. It was staring at them with giant eyes the size of a lantern. Eight or nine-year-old boy and a gray wolf more than one meter long.

The scene fell silent in an instant, and a needle could be heard, and everyone stared at the monster and the gray-robed boy who fell from the sky.

"Why don't you fight?" The gray-robed boy rubbed his nose and said, "I can't see very well in the sky, so I want to get closer so I can see clearly."

The old butler gathered his hands together and swayed them in his sleeves. To be honest, he didn't pay much attention to this group of soldiers and generals, but the huge monster that fell from the sky made him frightened and hesitant.

In the carriage, the young man with red lips and white teeth poked his head out and looked at the gray-robed boy and the huge monster falling from the sky. The gray wolf was automatically ignored, and the young man smiled at the gray-robed boy.

The boy in gray robe also smiled back.

"kill."

The naked-chested burly man got up from the ground, held the giant Xuanhua axe, yelled, and rushed at the old housekeeper again. The surrounding leather guards had to charge again. More than half of the archers aimed at the carriage, bent their bows and put arrows at the old housekeeper. Car ### go, a small half aimed the arrow at the huge monster and the gray-robed boy, buckled on the string, and did not send out.

The old butler pulled out his hands that were folded in his sleeves, and without any spare strength, he shook the internal energy in his body. With just a pair of fleshy palms, he aimed at the giant Xuanhua axe, and a knife cut from the side to the neck of the naked-chested man. It turned out to be a life-threatening move.

The naked-chested burly man let out a sinister grin, and desperately sank his hands, swinging the Xuanhua giant axe at the old butler's hands, intending to cut off the old butler's arms.

"hiss."

The soaring head still had a ferocious expression of death, and the headless corpse fell down suddenly. The old butler's hand knife cut off the neck of the naked upper body first, and the other hand quickly slapped two Xuanhua giants into the air. The ax slammed into the leather armor guards who were coming up, and there were sounds of bone shattering.

Following the death of the naked-chested burly man, the remaining dozen or so leather armored guards scattered one after another, turned around and fled, but without exception, they were all killed by the old housekeeper.

The gray-robed boy clapped his hands and said, "That's amazing, the old man is also a cultivator?"

The old housekeeper refused to relax his vigilance, shook his head slightly, and said: "It's all some unsightly three-legged kung fu, which made this young man laugh."

The gray-robed boy stood on the spot, glanced around, and said with a wide mouth, "Did you kill all these people?"

The old butler nodded first, then shook his head.

The boy in gray squatted down, held his cheeks, and asked, "Is it true or not?"

At this time, a fifteen- or six-year-old boy with red lips and white teeth walked out of the carriage, dressed as a scholar and wearing a square scarf, and said to the gray-robed boy, "Are you going to Jingzhou too?"

"Jingzhou City?" The gray-robed boy repeated in a daze, then his eyes lit up, and he asked, "Is Jingzhou City fun? Do you have candied haws?"

The young man with red lips and white teeth couldn't help laughing, and said: "It's not fun, but there are candied haws to eat."

The gray-robed boy hesitated for a moment, then smiled and said, "Then let's go to Jingzhou City, as long as there are candied haws to eat."

The young man with red lips and white teeth issued an invitation and said: "Then let's go together, my family is in Jingzhou City, meeting is a fate, I will treat a few of you as a landlord."

"Young master..." the old housekeeper said in a low voice, and then the young man with red lips and white teeth stopped the next words with his eyes.

"Okay." The gray-robed boy nodded in agreement, and said, "I just can't find a place to go, so I'll go to your house to eat and drink for free." Immediately, the gray-robed boy covered his mouth lightly.

The young man with red lips and white teeth couldn't help but laugh again, waved to the boy in gray robe, and said, "Get in the car." Turning his head to the old butler, he said, "Old butler, please be the driver."

The old butler nodded in agreement.

The gray-robed boy patted the blue-eyed goshawk's thigh, the blue-eyed goshawk flew into the sky, and disappeared without a trace. The gray-robed boy touched the wolf's head and walked towards the carriage.
