Chapter 143 Casualties
The man who rushed out was none other than Wu Yue.

Wuyue was originally guarding the foot of the mountain.That group of bandits was bold enough to say that they came over to rob the carriage in a grand manner.

There were not many people guarding the carriage, so they only left four or five people behind.Prepare to check the valuables in the carriage after killing Wuyue.

only…

But they didn't kill Wu Yue.

Instead, Wuyue killed those people below them, and came to find Yinzhen halfway up the mountain.

"laugh--"

Just hearing the sound of the dagger sinking into the body, the big man who was hugged by everyone was stabbed in the back of the heart by Wuyue.A lot of blood splashed out and fell on the bodies of those old men.

The old men were taken aback. It happened so fast that they barely had time to react.While dazed, Wuyue continued to move forward, took the man's long knife and went to support Yinzhen.

The big man who was hit by the dagger went limp and fell to the side.

It wasn't until this moment that the old men came back to their senses and hurried to the side to avoid it.

With an arrow in his hand, Gu Qinghuan went back to the door to check the situation inside the ruined temple.Yinzhen is still confronting the sixth child, but perhaps because of Wuyue's joining, the pressure on Su Peisheng has been relieved a little.

From the looks of it, it seemed that they had already gained the upper hand.

A quarter of an hour later.

When the three knives were on the side of Lao Liu's neck, Lao Liu finally put down the weapon in his hand, closed his eyes and said, "I underestimated the enemy. You, who are you?"

"You don't even know who we are, so you dare to rob us?"

Yinzhen said: "In the next life, be a good man, don't do these things again."

After the words fell, Wuyue had already dealt with the sixth child with a flash of a blade.

Gu Qinghuan stood a little further away, smelling the bloody smell constantly emanating from the ruined temple, feeling a little sick.The same is true for several old men, and some people have already retched.

Yinzhen took the water bag and flushed his hands, took off his coat, and then returned to Gu Qinghuan's side.

"How is it, are you alright?"

"I am fine."

Gu Qinghuan took out a handkerchief, wiped Yinzhen's cheeks, and asked with some concern: "What about you? There's blood all over your face. That sixth child... is really too cunning."

She always felt that something was wrong from the beginning.

The eyes of the bearded man have always been asking for help and consulting the sixth child.

He seemed to have no control over this group of people.

as predicted…

"The blood is all theirs. I'm fine." Yinzhen said, "It's good that you're still calm. It's just that you haven't told me whether you're injured yet."

"I…"

Just when Gu Qinghuan was about to answer, he felt a pain in his arm.

"hiss--"

Gu Qinghuan glanced at his arm.Just now when she went to drag the servant of the Ministry of Industry, she seemed to have accidentally scratched her clothes with the blade of the old sixth.

The situation at that time was so urgent that Gu Qinghuan himself did not notice this detail.

"Hurt?"

Yinzhen's tone suddenly became a little eager, and immediately stepped forward to Gu Qinghuan's side, looking at her arm seriously.

"There's a hole. It's my fault. I thought you were in a safe place. I never thought..."

Yinzhen gritted his teeth, and really wanted to chop that old sixth into pieces again.

He also noticed something was wrong.However, when he realized it, the sixth child had already looked at the old fellow, the minister of the Ministry of Industry, with his sword.

Gu Qinghuan was also... injured in order to protect the minister of the Ministry of Industry.

"I'm fine, brother Si, you don't have to blame yourself."

Gu Qinghuan smiled seriously at Yinzhen, and said: "With such hands, you can't protect me anytime and anywhere. Sometimes, I can still protect myself."

No, hold him back.

"you…"

Yin Zhen opened his mouth, not knowing what to say for a while.

Gu Qinghuan still acted so strong and sensible at this time, which made him feel even more distressed.

"Fourth brother."

At this time, Su Peisheng came out from the ruined temple, and said, "The last survivor just now has been recruited."

These people are all bandits near Heishui Mountain.

Just as Yinzhen thought, there used to be bandits here during the war in the previous dynasty, but they were wiped out later.With Guotai Minan, in fact, it is gone.

These bandits, who committed a crime a few years ago and were about to be exiled, but after they fled privately on the road of exile, they heard about what happened in Heishui Mountain, so they wanted to come here and continue to be bandits.

The terrain here is good, with mountains and water nearby.They don't have to worry about food and clothing, they just need to rob passing business travelers from time to time.

If there is really nothing to eat, there are villages nearby.

only…

This time they were out of luck.Seeing a group of people coming in three carriages from a distance, they thought it was a trip of a wealthy family.In the end... unexpectedly ran into Yinzhen and his party.

After listening to Su Peisheng's narration, Yinzhen continued to ask: "Are there any other bandits in Heishui Mountain?"

"Nothing."

Su Peisheng said: "They come out in full force every time, and this time is no exception. There are 13 people in total, and they have all been wiped out."

"Ah."

Yinzhen frowned and nodded, and asked again: "The government has no news about bandits near Heishui Mountain?"

Yinzhen went to Shengjing, in fact, he went there as an imperial envoy.

Along the route, the government offices in various places are also known in advance, and they must report their local conditions in a timely manner.Prior to this, Yinzhen had not received any information about this bandit from Heishui Mountain.

"not at all."

Su Peisheng said: "I'm afraid we still need to investigate this matter."

"Yeah." Yinzhen nodded, and said: "This is not a place to stay for a long time, let's go down the mountain first. There is no moon, can the carriage at the bottom of the mountain still be used?"

"I'm afraid I can't." Wuyue said concisely, "The horses are all dead."

Yinzhen looked dignified, and said: "Su Peisheng, so you have to go to the nearby village to see if you can borrow a horse. Then go to the nearby government to inform the matter and bring people over for reinforcements."

"Yes."

Su Peisheng's heart trembled, and he knew that this was not the time to be lazy, so after making the promise, he went down the mountain in a hurry.

When Gu Qinghuan followed Yinzhen down the mountain, some morning light could already be seen in the sky.

The old men of the Ministry of Industry went through this catastrophe overnight, and they were all disheartened.When they looked at Yinzhen again, they were full of reverence.

If it wasn't for Yinzhen...

They are afraid that they have already gone to see Hades.

When Gu Qinghuan looked at the streak of white belly in the morning light, he also felt as if he had passed away.

At the foot of the mountain, their carriage had been destroyed, and the dead horse was lying on the side. The situation was also very tragic.Some items on the carriage were also scattered all over the place.
