But before Su Lian could think about it carefully, he saw that the wind and sand around him disappeared instantly, and a man in black robe suddenly appeared in the yellow sand.
He was wearing a very complete black mask, but his face seemed to have been disfigured, with large cracks and scars extending to his neck, which looked very scary.
Behind him, there were also several tall and slender people standing in black clothes, with only their eyes exposed.
But without exception, they all held a dark umbrella in their hands. At the end of the umbrella rib, a red crabapple flower bloomed as if it was dripping blood.
Su Lian was startled and grabbed the bone whip around his waist and took a step back. Upon seeing this, Jiang Pingzhi immediately reacted and quickly stood in front of Su Lian.
The caravan holding horses and goods in front was also forced to stop. Many people were a little panicked, and some even cursed, and their legs were shaking with fear.
Although there are some men with knives in the team, they are just businessmen, not life-threatening robbers, so they don't have the courage to go head-to-head with these people in front of them.
"Old Xu, you don't need me to tell you more about the rules, right?"
I saw the man in black robe wiping the shimmering sword edge with a piece of black fine silk. The eyes behind the mask were extremely cautious. His eyes were light gray phoenix eyes, slightly upward, like a curved moon.
, just being looked at by him was like being stared at by a poisonous snake.
For some reason, even though Su Lian was at the end of the team, he still felt that gaze focused on him across the crowd of people in front of him.
This made her feel uncomfortable all over.
The leader of the caravan, known as Lao Xu, immediately smiled and said:
"Of course I do. Come on, bring us the gold that we pay homage to Ghost Face."
Ghost Face, the leader of the Bone Path. Although he is very mysterious every time he appears and always likes to ask for a box of gold, no one knows his identity.
Moreover, the profession of robber seems to be a hobby for him, and he specializes in picking out those rich and well-oiled caravans. As long as he can afford a box of gold, he will not hurt anyone.
Because his reputation spread far and wide, every time he appeared, the caravan would obediently pay tribute to him with the box of gold prepared in advance.
However, there are always people who are not convinced. However, it is said that the ashes of the last person who wanted to compete with him based on his superior martial arts have been scattered in this boundless desert.
The caravan leader, known as Lao Xu, smiled apologetically, took a box of shining gold, and pushed it in front of the man like a treasure.
The man in black opened it and took a look, then closed it again with a cold expression.
"Old Xu, you still don't understand the rules. The price of this box of gold is what it was a year ago."
"this……"
Lao Xu was instantly dumbfounded, because the price of ghost noodles had not changed over the years, so they only prepared one box of gold before setting off, and not a second one.
"Sir, we don't have a second box of gold. How much do you want? Do you think we can make it together?"
Lao Xu said with difficulty.
But all he saw was the man's faint smile, which melted instantly like ice, but the words he said sent chills down his back.
"If not, then we can only pay with the lives of the people in your team."
"You also know that Jiuzhou City will not restrict any of our actions, and people... are all treasures."
As he said that, Ghost Face looked at Lao Xu from head to toe with great interest, and he was so frightened that he stood there and did not dare to move.
Just when he was about to bite the bullet and ask someone in the team if they could get another box together, Ghost Face suddenly spoke:
"But it's okay if you don't have it. You have to send the little beauty at the end of your team."
After Jiang Pingzhi heard this, he immediately stood up straight and covered Su Lian tightly behind him.
Suning was a little surprised. It was clear that the position she was standing in was a blind spot, so how could Ghost Face see her?
Lao Xu was also confused. He turned around and suddenly remembered that a young man and woman had found him when he was setting off on the team. He thought that these two people just wanted to go out and didn't think it was a bother. Plus,
The silver they took was enough for them to take dozens of people back and forth, so they were allowed to follow the team.
However, Ghost Face has always been ruthless, and if this couple, who appear to be newlyweds, falls into his hands, who knows what will become of them.
A trace of tangle flashed across Lao Xu's face, and he was about to turn around and refuse, but he saw Ghost Face move and fly up, arriving in front of Su Lian who had been hiding behind him.
"She's actually quite beautiful. No wonder the dog emperor is obsessed with her."
Su Lian tightened her hands on the hem of her skirt. When faced with such a danger, she could always avoid it. Because she knew that her appearance would indeed cause a lot of unnecessary trouble.
Jiang Pingzhi quickly pushed the man away:
"I'm warning you, it's best not to have any ideas about her."
warn?
The man curled up the corners of his lips and smiled, but his smile didn't reach his eyes.
For so many years, except for the one person above him who dared to warn him, even if the emperor came now, he would not dare to do anything to him.
The Soviet Union lowered its voice specially:
"Brother, I'm worthless, why are you looking for me? You might as well accept the gold. As a human being, when traveling in the world, the most important thing is to be safe."
Ghost Face looked sideways at her, but when Jiang Pingzhi and others didn't notice, he directly took action, took her into his arms, and then flew away.
Su Lian was lightly hit on the back of the neck and lost consciousness.
When I woke up again, the surrounding environment had completely changed.
Su Lian calmed down:
"Brother, let's do this. You make a price."
In front of the already lit fire, the expression on the man's face flickered.
"To be honest, someone bought your life from me."
"who?"
Su Su suddenly felt as if she was close to the person who wanted to harm her.
Could it be Lin Ruolan?
But it was not easy for Lin Ruolan to contact people in Jiuzhou City in the palace.
The man in black shook the sparks on his robe:
"My prices are beyond the reach of ordinary people."
"Yes, yes, and our boss doesn't accept private orders, so he has to do it himself."
Are you willing?
Su Lian tilted her head and thought about it.
Since she had never offended this man, it must be that the person who paid for the murder had what he wanted.
Tsk.
"Why is this the person you like? You want to kill me."
Su Lian suddenly relaxed and laughed lazily.
The most terrifying thing about a person is that he has no weaknesses, but if he has weaknesses, he will not be invulnerable.
Just like the ghost face in front of me, the moment he heard about the person he liked, his body suddenly stiffened.
"It seems I guessed it right, but don't you want her to be with you?
