Seeing that his elder brother was silent, the man didn't say anything and walked forward silently.
The two brothers were originally from Jiunancheng. After Jiannancheng was captured by the rebels, they came to Songyi City.
After settling down outside Songyi City, he made a living by hunting.
Unexpectedly, the influence caused by the rebellion was getting bigger and bigger, and it affected this place, making hunting difficult. In desperation, we turned into bandits.
Although they are good at martial arts, it does not mean they can find a decent and good job just by having martial arts.
Those wealthy families simply don't dare to use warriors like them who have unknown origins, no roots, and no knowledge of their roots.
The stronger this kind of person is, the greater the consequences will be if something goes wrong.
When Lin Zheyu first arrived in Songyicheng, it was also because of this that although he was knowledgeable and proficient in arithmetic, no one hired him and no one could recommend him. Only some temporary workers who did dirty work and hard work were willing to hire him.
Finally, after many attempts, I found a job as a storyteller.
Fortunately, he was a good storyteller and gained a reputation.
And because he was poached by Jia Yanming and was not poached, he gained a reputation as a repaying kindness. Only then was he valued by Xu Jingwu and allowed to join the Feihong Gang.
"Brother, how about we also join the Jiuyou Sect and believe in the Nine Nether Demon God of Lao Shizi." A man from behind suggested.
Recently, among the bandits in the Lion Valley, a sect called the Jiuyou Sect has arisen, worshiping the Nine Nether Demon God.
The Nine Nether Demon God sounds like a cult.
But what about cults? As bandits, they can't see the light of day. These days, as long as they can survive, they don't care what is good and evil.
"Yes, brother, I heard that if you join the Jiuyou Sect, you can obtain food and grain through the channels of the Jiuyou Sect." Another man said.
"Don't be impatient, wait and see for a while. If it doesn't work, we will choose one from the Jiuyou Sect and the Songyi City Guards to join."
The leading man pondered for a moment and said.
He felt that the Jiuyou Sect did not look like a good bird, and he had many concerns.
After hearing this, several people stopped talking and continued to move forward silently.
……
Whoosh
Swish
Lin Zheyu walked quickly through the mountains and forests, his figure was elegant and ghostly, and he didn't make a sound.
After Jin Yan Gong reached the fourth level, his speed was far faster than that of ordinary Qi and Blood Realm warriors. With all his strength, he quickly caught up with the bandits.
The bandits have a large number of men, sixty-eight in number.
They looked alert, held weapons in hand, and were always paying attention to the movements around them.
"Changfeng, have you sensed that others are following you?"
The leading man rushed into the forest, passed through several remote paths, and asked the middle-aged man behind him.
Changfeng is an experienced herb collector, and his nose has an amazing sense of smell, and he can smell unusual smells.
Relying on Changfeng's ability, they repeatedly discovered people hiding in the dark with evil intentions.
"No." Changfeng sniffed his nose and said.
"Very good, keep going, go directly to the secret station, and be careful and vigilant." The man said.
The group of people passed through hidden paths one after another and headed towards the valley.
Every time they passed a special patch of grass or flowers, they would take out dark green powder and sprinkle it on their bodies, not knowing what it did.
"Really vigilant."
Lin Zheyu followed them far away, very far away.
With Ma Wangcheng's previous experience and lessons, this time he stayed away from the special-looking grass and woods to prevent him from carrying any special smell.
Fortunately, the robbers did not run far away when he chased him, otherwise they might have escaped.
"I found it. The package in the man's hand should be what he just snatched!"
Lin Zheyu slowly approached and observed for a while, and finally found a few men carrying packages among the robbers. The packages were bulging and contained a lot of things.
These men were surrounded and strictly protected.
Whoosh.
Lin Zheyu moved and quickly approached.
In the dense forest, the trees rustled.
The breeze blew by, and the bandit named Changfeng sniffed his nose and smelled a different smell, and his expression changed.
"No, there's someone to rely on..." Changfeng said anxiously.
Before he finished speaking, several flying knives shot out from the dense forest, the blades were sharp and the speed was astonishing.
Ahhhh~~
Screams resounded in the dense forest, and with a bang, the flying knife pierced the foreheads of the five bandits. Their skulls were shattered on the spot, and the flying knife was embedded in them.
They opened their eyes wide, and their eyes gradually lost their luster, full of surprise and unwillingness.
The bandits reacted very quickly. After their companion died, their companions aimed at the place where the flying knives came from and fired crossbow arrows.
Dozens of arrows were fired in unison, shooting toward the place where Lin Zheyu had just stood, but they missed. The moment the flying knife was shot, he immediately changed his position.
Xiu Xiu Xi——
From another direction in the dense forest, five more flying knives were shot out, accurately sinking into the skulls of the five bandits.
The head is a person's Achilles' heel. Unlike the body, it can still struggle after being stabbed by a flying knife. If rescued in time, it can even be rescued.
After the flying knife penetrates into the head, death is almost certain.
"He's a master!"
Five more companions fell to the ground, and the leading man was horrified.
He was holding a big knife, tense and looking around, but he couldn't find the other party's location.
The flying knife was extremely fast, and even if he wanted to block it, he couldn't.
With such terrifying strength and speed, his strength is far superior to his!
"Which senior..."
Poof——
Halfway through the man's words, the silver-white sword flashed past and sank into his temple.
His voice stopped suddenly, and his eyes quickly lost their energy.
"Brother!"
The man next to him yelled, anger and panic filling his face.
He glanced at his silent elder brother, turned around suddenly, and fled towards the dense forest.
The person who came here was very powerful. He killed his elder brother with just a flying knife. He was worried that the Qi and Blood Realm strongman from the caravan was chasing him.
They just used drugs and smoke to launch a surprise attack. Although they grabbed some silver and items, they still killed more than a dozen of their companions.
That man is very powerful!
While outside, there were supplies that needed to be protected, but the strong man was still hesitant and did not dare to take action with all his strength. He needed to be on guard against thieves who might be peeping in the dark.
But in the mountains and forests, without any worries and lack of martial ethics to hide in secret and attack secretly, this is extremely terrifying and far beyond what they can handle.
Puff puff puff
Throwing knives kept shooting out of the dense forest, and the bandits didn't even see anyone. Panic spread among the bandits.
After the first one escaped, the survivors fled in all directions without caring about the others.
Lin Zheyu looked at the bandits running around, but did not take action against them, but chased the men carrying packages.
His throwing knives are limited, and he has only prepared thirty. If there are too many, they will be difficult to carry.
Puff——
There was a flash of cold light, and a flying knife made a whoosh sound, stabbing into the back of the head of a man carrying a package. The man fell forward, trembled a few times, and became silent.
When the other two robbers carrying packages saw this, they were so frightened that they dropped their packages on the ground and threw themselves into the grass nearby.
In an instant, of the more than sixty bandits, only a dozen corpses were left on the ground, as well as three discarded packages. The others ran away without a trace.
Shashasha.
In the dense forest, a figure slowly walked out, it was Lin Zheyu who had just been pursued.
He walked over, picked up the three packages on the ground, weighed them, and found they were quite heavy.
Suddenly, Lin Zheyu's expression changed, his sword flashed, and a small, colorful snake three to four meters long was split into two pieces.
This is not far from the Lion Valley and belongs to the peripheral area of the Lion Valley.
The mountain forest is filled with smog and fog all year round, and poisonous insects and snakes are everywhere. Lin Zheyu encountered many poisonous insects and snakes along the way.
After getting the package, he did not continue to chase the fleeing thieves, but quickly exited the dense forest.
The smell here is terrible, and the mist may contain some kind of toxin.
Lin Zheyu tied the package firmly behind his back and moved quickly through the forest.
Leaving the outskirts of Lion Valley, the surrounding fog disappeared, and the unpleasant smell disappeared.
We walked another two miles or so.
Phew——
Suddenly, arrows shot out from the grass.
On one side of Lin Zheyu's body, a long knife struck out, and the arrow broke into two pieces.
At the same time, a flying knife shot out from the cuff, with a cold light.
With a pop, the flying knife shot into the grass nearby, and a scream came from the grass.
A man rolled over and aimed the crossbow arrow at Lin Zheyu again. He pressed his finger and three arrows were fired out.
Bang bang bang
The light of the sword flashed, and the sharp blade split the three arrows into two pieces. He stretched out his left hand and shot a flying knife at the same time.
With a pop, it penetrated the man's forehead.
The man stared at Lin Zheyu with his eyes widened and filled with resentment, and breathed his last breath.
Lin Zheyu came to the man and began to search him.
This guy is a poor guy, he only has a few bottles of medicine powder, a crossbow, and a dozen arrows.
……
When we returned to Senior Brother Han's camp, the sky was already a little dark.
"Sir, it's great that you are back. Mr. Han has been waiting for you for a long time."
Zhao Gang saw Lin Zheyu from a distance and ran over excitedly. He was really worried that something would happen to this man, and Master Han scolded him when he came back.
If something happens to this man, he will be in trouble.
"Senior brother is back?"
"Do you still want to go in and report?" Lin Zheyu asked.
"No, no, you come with me." Zhao Gang said quickly.
He secretly glanced at the three packages behind Lin Zheyu. There was something strange in his eyes, but he did not dare to say anything and silently led Lin Zheyu into the military camp.
Follow the soldiers into the military camp. There are simply tents in the camp. As we move forward, we come to an open space.
Han Mo danced his sword and was immersed in practice.
His body has long reached the threshold of Qi and Blood realm, and Qi and Qi are constantly evaporating from the blood. However, because his spirit is not strong enough, he cannot condense Qi and blood.
Lin Zheyu did not disturb his senior brother and stood aside silently waiting.
Han Mo sensed the movement and took the initiative to stop and look at Lin Zheyu.
"Senior brother is good at swordsmanship!" Lin Zheyu clapped his hands and praised.
"Why did you come here? Are you not in danger?" Han Mo asked.
"No, Jin Yan Gong is good at light kung fu. Although my strength is a bit weak, my ability to escape is still good."
Lin Zheyu said, looking at Han Mo's chest, which was bandaged with white gauze: "Brother, why are you injured? Is it okay?"
"It's okay, just a minor injury. I was ambushed when I was chasing a group of robbers a few days ago," Han Mo said.
"Brother, please be careful when suppressing bandits. My sister-in-law is still waiting for you to return."
"Those bandits are all sinister and vicious, and they will use all possible means. Don't go too deep into the mountains and forests when you are chasing the bandits." Lin Zheyu warned.
"You brat, you don't have to say that, senior brother, I have killed the bandits..."
"Don't tell me you have more salt than I have ever eaten. I don't believe it." Lin Zheyu curled his lips and said with a smile.
"Haha..."
Han Mo laughed a few times, walked aside and sat down.
He looked at Lin Zheyu and asked: "It's very dangerous outside the city and bandits are rampant. Why are you running out?"
"Come out to explore the road. If something goes wrong, you can run away then, right?" Lin Zheyu said.
"Same."
"But you must be careful and don't go into the mountains and forests. It's not just bandits who are dangerous in the mountains and forests. Those hunters and herb collectors are not necessarily good people either." Han Mo warned.
"Well, I'll pay attention."
"You're such a jerk!"
Han Mo couldn't help but lectured: "I just heard from the soldiers that you went after the bandits? Did you want to die, chasing him alone?"
"Isn't this okay?" Lin Zheyu said.
He just hid in the dark and made a sneak attack without getting a drop of blood on his body.
Han Mo glared at him and looked carefully. He was indeed fine. Even his clothes were clean.
"Are these packages you stole from thieves?"
Han Mo looked at the four bulging packages next to Lin Zheyu, his eyes a little strange and said: "Don't tell me that they were robbed from civilians and caravans!"
"How can this be possible!"
"It's not like you don't know who I am. Is my junior brother capable of doing such a thing?" Lin Zheyu said speechlessly.
"These three packages were snatched by the group of thieves from the caravan. I chased them secretly, saw the right moment, and snatched them back. I picked this one up on the way here."
"Really?"
Han Mo didn't believe it. After all, even if he chased the bandits alone, he would only die.
"Really, I can still lie to you."
"There are estimated to be 300 people in that caravan. Do you think I am strong enough to snatch things from them?"
"I chased the robbers into the mountain forest. That group of robbers encountered a sneak attack from another group of robbers. The two groups of robbers fought, but I took advantage of it."
Lin Zheyu made up a reason.
"Don't do this kind of thing in the future. If you are not careful, you may risk your own life." Han Mo warned.
"Yeah, not anymore." Lin Zheyu said.
Next to Han Mo, he opened the package and began to count it without any hesitation.
The first package contained some medicinal materials. There were many types of medicinal materials, exuding a strong medicinal fragrance. He recognized several medicines, which were included in the prescription of Yixue Zhuanggu Decoction.
In the second package, there are all kinds of exquisite jewelry and jade. They look very luxurious and are probably quite expensive.
The third package contained two hundred and thirty taels of silver, and inside was another package containing medicinal powder, poison powder and various hidden weapons.
"Everyone who sees it has a share, senior brother, I'll give you these thirty taels of silver."
Lin Zheyu took out thirty taels of silver and handed it over.
During this time in Songyicheng, the senior brother took good care of him. After the master left Songyicheng, he often found time to come over and practice actual combat with him.
"Take it back and save it for your wife later. Why do you want your money, senior brother?"
Han Mo didn't answer, and said in an elder's tone: "You will marry a wife and start a family in the future. There are many places where you will need money. You should use this money sparingly and don't squander it all."
"Since you don't need any money, then senior brother, I'll pick out some beautiful jewelry and give them to my sister-in-law when I get back. We've known each other for so long and I haven't given her a gift yet."
Lin Zheyu pointed at the pile of jewelry.
Under his repeated insistence, Han Mo did not continue to postpone. After choosing a beautiful jade pendant, he stopped choosing it.
After packing up the jade jewelry and silver, Lin Zheyu began to sort out the poisonous powders.
"How many bandits did you encounter on the way here? How come there are so many poisonous powder concealed weapons?" Han Mo couldn't help but said as he looked at the many poisonous powder concealed weapons in the package.
"Oh, I picked them all up."
"The mountains and forests are very dangerous. Bandits also fight and hunt each other. I happened to encounter a few corpses of bandits and touched them from their corpses." Lin Zheyu made up the story.
Han Mo: "..."
Han Mo looked at his junior brother speechlessly, with a hundred disbeliefs in his heart, but he didn't ask any more questions.
His character is like this. If his junior brother doesn't want to talk, he won't ask more questions. Everyone has secrets that they don't want to tell.
"Senior brother, do you know anyone who has some attainments in the field of poison?" Lin Zheyu asked after sorting out the poison powder, medicine powder and hidden weapons.
