Senior Brother Xiaobai slightly raised the handle of the fan, interrupting the Fifth Senior Brother: "Even if it is a trap, we must break through it this time, and we cannot let Zhao Yue disappear without any reason."
Well, he and Ninth Senior Brother have always been on the same page, so if something happened to Ninth Senior Brother, he would be very worried.
"You two don't know Kung Fu, so just go with me so that you can take care of me." Senior Brother Xiaobai pondered for a while and then added.
Fifth Senior Brother and I don't know Kung Fu. If we were left alone and were captured by the men in black, it would only cause more chaos. It would be better to go with Senior Brother Xiaobai.
When the fifth senior brother heard this, he nodded and stopped talking.
At noon, the fifth senior brother drove a carriage and we appeared in the woods to the east of the city on time.
The north wind blows across the ground, and the withered grass sways.
I half-closed my eyes and looked ahead——
Deep in the woods, there was a crooked-necked tree that had lost all its leaves. Under the tree was the Ninth Senior Brother's long sword inlaid with sapphire stuck diagonally under the tree. Five or six masked men in black stood aside solemnly.
I looked up along the trunk of the tree and saw a person hanging from a thick branch that stretched out diagonally. The person was tied tightly, like the green rice dumplings eaten during the Dragon Boat Festival, and his mouth was blocked.
Jet black rags.
Maybe we heard the sound of wheels running over dead leaves. The hanging man screamed at us, and his legs fluttered in mid-air, which made a winter crow in the forest feel uncomfortable.
With a startling sound, it rushed towards the sky.
Oops, the person in such a state of embarrassment this time is none other than my arrogant Ninth Senior Brother!
Before we could get closer, the man in black rushed up with a cold sword without saying a word.
"Rong'er, you're so lucky to be following Fifth Senior Brother."
Without waiting for my reply, Senior Brother Xiaobai got angry, put his feet down, and flew out of the carriage.
The fifth senior brother and I didn't dare to be alone, so we quickly drove the carriage and followed closely.
We wanted to save people this time and didn't want to get into any more entanglements with them, but they didn't seem to have any intention of fighting with us.
Brother Xiaobai moved his feet and dodged the man in black who rushed up. When he got under the tree, his left palm struck the wrist of the man in black who was holding a knife.
I was shocked to see the gleaming sword flying straight towards Brother Ninth Brother. Immediately, Brother Ninth Brother's legs were flapping like duck paws under water.
The big knife narrowly missed the ninth brother's head, broke the rope that tied him, and went straight into the heart of the tree.
Senior Brother Ninth fell to the ground with a thud. After a long while, he spat out the dirty rag that blocked his mouth, retched on the ground a few times, and then groaned: "Xiao Bai, you can't be gentler..."
I quickly got off the carriage, ran to Brother Ninth, and helped him untie the rope with all my hands.
Unexpectedly, in the blink of an eye, the men in black surrounded us, and the number seemed to have increased to more than ten.
Alas, no wonder they didn't take action against us before, because they wanted to lure us into an ambush.
Seeing this, the Ninth Senior Brother jumped up, jumped to his feet, pointed at the man in black and yelled: "You are tired of waiting, and you dare to kidnap my son! Today, I will let you wait and see!"
With that said, the Ninth Senior Brother pulled out the long sword on the ground and was about to rush up.
I quickly pulled the corner of his clothes——
Now we are surrounded and outnumbered. Brother Ninth Brother and Brother Xiaobai brought me and Brother Five along with us. We are alone and we need to find a plan.
After a long while, Senior Brother Xiaobai looked at the Fifth Senior Brother and said calmly: "Brother, please lend me the sword."
