Qingjiang River is the longest river in the Holy Dynasty, running through the entire country from west to east.
The imperial city of the Holy Dynasty was located on the edge of the Qingjiang River and was called Jindu.
The governor of Qingjiang that Wu Chong took office was naturally not in Jindu, but it was not far from Jindu. This place was the territory of the royal family. Although the four major families had strongholds here, they did not occupy absolute control.
Wu Chong sat in the carriage with his legs crossed and his eyes closed, and he fell into trance like a Taoist.
The carriage set off two days ago, and Wu Chong finally decided to serve as the governor. After receiving the transfer order, he set off the next day, and Dai Yong and several other close guards also followed him to take office.
"Sir, we are not far from Jianghuai City. The local officials have prepared wine and food and are waiting for you on the roadside."
Passing by the inn, someone served food as soon as I stopped.
The person who delivered the food only brought this sentence.
On the carriage, Wu Chong was as motionless as an old monk. When the guard Dai Yong saw this scene, he immediately stepped forward and drove away those who came to get close to him in advance.
"Uncle, don't you want to eat something?"
No one ate the delicacies at the inn. As the Ling family’s escorts, each of them was an elite. Naturally, they would not just eat food given by strangers. They stopped by the roadside one by one to eat dry food. Dai Yong saw that Wu Chong was still the same.
Sitting in the carriage, he stepped forward and asked.
He used to call Wu Chong uncle, because he grew up with Ling Zhujun. In his understanding, Wu Chong achieved his current achievements by being with their young lady. Otherwise, a poor boy with no background would not be able to succeed in the imperial examination.
Now, I don’t know where I will be assigned. I might still be waiting for my turn.
"Need not."
Wu Chong didn't make any movement in the carriage, but the sound came out.
When Dai Yong heard this, he didn't ask any more questions.
They all do physical work, so naturally they need to eat and drink well, otherwise they won't even have the strength to protect others, and it will be in vain.
After resting, the group continued on the road.
Near dusk, the carriage entered a valley, which was the only way to take office in Jianghuai City.
Wow!
Not long after the carriage had gone, a flock of birds suddenly appeared from the woods at the intersection ahead.
"parking!"
Dai Yong, who was in charge of security, immediately sensed the danger. The other guards quickly took out their weapons, surrounded the carriage, and looked outside cautiously.
Whoosh!
A bow and arrow passed through the thorn bushes and reached the carriage.
"So brave!!"
Dai Yong was the first to react and caught the flying arrow. Under the strong force, the tail of the arrow was still trembling. If this arrow had been shot accurately, it would have penetrated the carriage just now.
, shooting the person inside through.
Dai Yong, who grabbed the arrow, flashed his scimitar and jumped forward in the direction of the arrow.
The deterrent effect of this strong bow is too strong and must be dealt with immediately.
Puff puff
As soon as Dai Yong left, strong bows fired from several directions again.
The remaining guards all took out their weapons and knocked away the arrows. The guards who could be sent out by Lord Lingzhu were basically mediocre. After blocking a round of attacks, they quickly launched a counterattack. The division of labor among the group was clear.
Those who were defensive, and those who were offensive. The two people in the middle jumped on the carriage to prepare to protect Wu Chong.
And at this moment, another arrow flew out.
This arrow is different from all the previous arrows. It is silver-white and emits a harsh whistle as it flies.
"Silver Whistle Arrow, sir, be careful!"
The faces of the two guards changed drastically. One of them quickly raised his sword to block, but it was too late. The long arrow broke through the block of the steel knife, leaving a gap as big as a meter on the blade. The arrow penetrated with all its strength.
He took off the planks of the carriage and shot the people inside.
Judging from the silhouette, the throat has been penetrated.
Bang!!
The carriage exploded, and for a moment everyone in the scene stopped and looked at the carriage.
'Master Wu', who was sitting in the middle of the carriage meditating with his eyes closed, was struck by a silver whistle arrow that penetrated his throat from front to back. It seemed that he would not survive.
"grown ups!"
"Uncle?!"
Dai Yong and the guards all made angry sounds.
They made a promise to the lady before they set off, but they were killed before they even reached the land. This left them wondering what to do when they returned.
Before they could react, the body of the dead 'Master Wu' swelled up, and dark ink dripped from the wound pierced by the arrow. The next moment, Wu Chong's body in the middle of the carriage exploded, and the dense ink droplets were like a rainstorm of pear blossoms.
It was scattered out as well.
In an instant, everyone in the forest was covered.
The guards stained with the ink were unscathed, but the people who attacked them were in dire straits. After the ink fell on them, it seemed to become highly poisonous, with purple poisonous smoke emitting, and the corrosive force made a "sizzling" sound.
, each one screamed and covered their faces and rolled out of the grass. After a while, they were burned into a pool of blood, and they died cleanly.
"How can it be such a big deal if people are so anxious before they even get to the place?"
Next to the exploded carriage, the yawning Master Wu walked out.
From the moment he left the Ling family's residence, the 'Master Wu' sitting on the carriage was no longer a real person. His painting skills have improved further, and he can now draw his own puppets. Wu Chong, who has human skin skills, immediately painted
This ability is used in reality.
"Alive again?"
Dai Yong and the guards were filled with shock. Wu Chong's move was too shocking for them.
Wu Chong ignored the surprise of the group of people and appeared behind a boulder in a flash. The people who were hiding behind and watching were grabbed by his neck and carried out before they could react.
"A member of the Qiqing Society? Or some other cockroach or rat."
Wu Chong pinched the opponent's neck and yawned sleepily.
The middle-aged scribe who was carried in his hand finally reacted and looked at Wu Chong in front of him in shock, as if he had seen a ghost.
Didn’t the news say that he was an ordinary scholar?
Who gave the news?
Dai Yong over there also recovered from the shock. His eyes fell on the middle-aged scribe who was captured by Wu Chong, and his pupils shrank sharply at a glance.
The middle-aged scribe bears the mark of the royal family!
"Forget it, you don't know what you're looking like, you're such a loser."
Seeing the middle-aged scribe's expression, the impatient Master Wu twisted it with one hand.
Click!
Before he could speak, the middle-aged scribe felt a pain in his neck, and then the scene in front of him went black.
died.
Just like a gangster, I didn't even have time to say his name.
"Keep someone under my command! Uncle, this person is"
Dai Yong, who had not yet finished speaking, looked at the body thrown aside by Wu Chong. The words he had not yet finished speaking were stuck in his throat and he did not know what to say.
My uncle, when did he become so decisive in killing?
"Keep on going."
Wu Chong didn't bother to care about Dai Yong's reaction. A little guy like him who dared to ambush him would have no regard for anything. He didn't even bother to ask a question, and just ended the matter.
