Summer in Heqing County is exactly the same as in the southern counties of Dayao, with cicadas chirping and frogs chirping endlessly, not to mention the afternoon clouds are gathering and thunder can be heard faintly in the distance.
All the prominent figures in Heqing County have received the wedding invitations for the daughter of the Huafu to get married, but things are not going well right now. In the past, these people who were considered leaders in all walks of life in Heqing City are no longer trying to maintain their appearance.
It means that the accounts have been settled and the business is ready to close.
Hua An, the owner of Hua Mansion, is really powerful. He is not the only one selling grain in Heqing County. It happened that last winter he had the foresight to purchase all the market grain in Suzhou and even Heqing County. Now he can put on such a show in the city.
Yes, only Washington has such courage.
If these people's compliments were normal, Hua'an would be overjoyed, but now he just forced a smile on his face, but in his heart he was still concerned about the arrangement of Wu He Escort and the rest of the house.
Wu Erlang's plan is clear, he is the daughter of the Washington government, and the few good men in the escort agency will follow him every step of the way. However, today is a wedding day, and Wu and everyone in the escort agency have many inconveniences. For the sake of safety,
So he followed.
"Boss, where do you think that man came from?" A bodyguard from the Wuhe Escort Bureau asked Zhang Bashun, the head of the bodyguard, "You said he was a martial artist sent by the rich man's family. How is his state?"
The Sun family in the north of Heqing City, which is a close rival to Washington City, will naturally not lose its influence. I heard that there is a mountain king outside Heqing City who wants to steal the bride. If the thief really does it, he will not be slapped with two big-eared melon seeds.
How can the two families raise their heads as human beings in Haqing County when the time comes?
Compared with the wealth of the Huafu, the Sun family in the north of Heqing City had a wide range of contacts. They were able to mobilize thirty capable servants and a leading warrior to help out, plus the twenty or so people from the Wuhe Escort Bureau.
The safety of Washington's daughter seems to be guaranteed.
"Looking at people breathing and exhaling, there is no doubt that they are four-story warriors." Zhang Bashun looked at the thirty servants again, "Most of those servants have some skills in their bodies, and their realm is not high, they are only one or two.
The scene on the upper floor is nothing special, but the fight between these errands is unremarkable, and they are most familiar with it when they join forces to fight against the enemy."
"Then are our three thousand taels of silver guaranteed?" The escort couldn't help but swallowed.
"Nine times out of ten? Difficult." Zhang Bashun shook his head, "But I told the master of the Washington Palace that if Wu Erlang is a fourth-floor martial artist, we can deal with it calmly when he comes. A fifth-floor martial artist can combine the strength of the two families.
, it may not be impossible to fight, six-story warriors, then we should run as far as we can."
"Then if we are a five-story martial artist, what are our chances of winning?" the bodyguard asked anxiously.
"If the martial artist on the fourth floor of the Sun family is willing to die," Zhang Bashun pointed his fingers one by one and said to the escort, "our escort agency will not hesitate to kill a few people, and the thirty or so official officers will also be willing to die.
If you risk your life to fight and take other people's lives, your strength will eventually be exhausted."
After Zhang Bashun said that, he looked at the tall man with his arms folded across his chest and wearing a long robe that still couldn't hide his muscles. He looked arrogant and guarded behind the gate of Qianjin Courtyard in Washington DC like a door god and never moved.
, the long object wrapped in black cloth behind his back was probably the weapon he used.
In the Qianjin Courtyard of Washington, several escorts from the Wuhe Escort Bureau who are well versed in the traps are busy applying gold poison on these objects. Old Gu Gu Shengyang is the leader among them. Although the martial arts realm is
He is not tall enough to arrange such things. He is also a rare expert among the escorts in Wuhe Escort Agency. He holds a rabbit brush in his hand and dips it into the small bucket in his hand, which is exuding a strong smell of viscosity, and then goes to the shadow in the corner of the bamboo forest.
Apply it on the crossbow arrow.
He carefully walked out of the bamboo forest in the courtyard, wiped his sweat, and admired his arrangement in the bamboo forest.
It had been years since he had done such a job. Gu Shengyang sighed in his heart, picked up a pebble from the ground, threw it, and hit a subtle and invisible thread in the bamboo forest. The thread broke, pulling the spring of the machine, and then disappeared quietly.
There was a sound of three crossbow arrows with green arrows shooting towards the place where the silk thread was tight before.
When the three crossbow arrows slowed down after thirty steps, Gu Shengyang saw the opportunity and took a step forward, grabbing the crossbow arrows in his hand.
After all, there are no materials and workmanship of Dayao's standard crossbow. The few mechanisms made in a hurry can't compare with the power of the hard crossbow's volley. Gu Shengyang's expression is a little bitter. For Wu Erlang, traps and other things are probably inconvenient.
It's a child's juggling trick. The golden juice on it won't work for a while, but it will cause bad blood in the future. Apart from that, only these twelve mechanisms with a total of thirty-six poisonous crossbow arrows can deal with it.
That Takejiro was a bit threatening.
However, it was extremely difficult for the crossbow arrow to weaken after thirty steps. What Gu Shengyang was counting on was the poison simmered in it. Even if it scratched Wu Erlang's oily skin, the effect would be immediate.
Gu Shengyang believed that what little brother Wei said was true, and the medicines he bought casually from the market were indeed neither painful nor itchy for warriors like Wu Erlang.
As long as this medicine can penetrate into the blood of a person in the slightest, unless the arms and legs are cut off immediately, even a martial artist on the second or third floor can only rely on his physical strength to hold on for a while. The martial artist on the fourth or fifth floor can only rely on
He had to hold on with that breath for a while, but if the doctors couldn't save him, the end wouldn't be much better. Wei Changpan said this when he gave it to him.
Gu Shengyang, who still had some doubts about this, secretly went to Waitoufang Market to buy a live chicken. He took a poisoned knife and lightly scratched the foot pole. Within a dozen seconds, the chicken was gone.
His legs were raised to the sky and he was dying. In a few seconds, he kicked his legs twice and died.
The poison was so powerful that Gu Shengyang was horrified, and he was a little confused about the origin of little brother Wei.
How many of the decent sons of famous families could have such a cruel poison? Gu Shengyang told Zhang Bashun his concerns, but the latter comforted him and said, "If someone can help you with this poison, they don't have bad intentions."
, what's poison? You, Lao Gu, didn't have it before? It's just that others are more powerful. Using poison doesn't matter, it depends on who is using it.
"You servants, please don't go in this bamboo forest anymore. There are traps inside, and your life will not be saved if you get hit." Gu Shengyang packed up the belongings left behind after the traps were set up in this unique courtyard, then walked out of the courtyard and followed the shifts.
Wu He, the two three-story warriors from the guarding bureau, had also made an explanation. Just when they were about to speak to the expert invited by the Sun family in the north of the city, the latter snorted from his nose, glanced at him sideways and said:
"You want to catch that thief with just such a little troupe juggling?" The man chuckled, "I'm afraid you're going to make me laugh so hard, but Washington is spending a lot of money to invite people like you from the Wuhe Escort Bureau to come to our door.
You want to use the golden name of Wuhe Escort Agency to protect yourself, but you are all incompetent. The master of Washington is really leaving.
Just take a look."
The words were loud and reached the ears of the two escorts from the Wuhe Escort Bureau. They were about to explode, but were stopped by Gu Shengyang: "Hero, Wu Erlang, we people from the Wuhe Escort Bureau have seen it before. He is extraordinary.
I'm afraid it would be difficult for one hero to deal with it alone, so why don't we two work together..."
"Together, what kind of force? Are you worthy?" The tall man said in a contemptuous tone, "If you're afraid of death, just hide far away. Just watch me capture that guy single-handedly."
Wu He, the two three-story martial arts bodyguards from the Escort Bureau, were extremely angry. They were about to step forward and fight with him based on their own abilities, but they were pulled back by the steady Gu Shengyang.
"The Sun family's people will be guarded by the Sun family's people, and our people will be guarded by our people." Gu Shengyang said in a deep voice, "Sorry for being so stingy! Our top priority is to protect the daughter of the Washington government, and we can't fall into our company.
And the escort agency’s sign!”
The two escorts came down gloomily, and the older one said to Gu Shengyang: "Lao Gu, we haven't seen brother Wei for a while, where are they?"
Another person also echoed: "Brother Xiao Wei has a good fighting ability, but we can't walk away. Otherwise, it will be difficult for the two of us to stop Wu Erlang."
The life stories of the second master of Woniu Mountain gradually became known to everyone in Wuhe Escort Bureau. They were all heroic deeds. Among them, he killed the adulterer who also had a third-level martial arts realm with three punches and two kicks. These two people wanted to
It is only a three-story building, and its strengths and weaknesses are limited, so it may not be as good as others.
After hearing the two people's complaints, Gu Shengyang smiled knowingly, pulled the two of them to a secluded place, lowered his voice and said: "Brother Wei has been in this courtyard all the time, but he never showed up to say hello to you two.
That’s all.”
"Lao Gu, don't talk nonsense. How can you hide people in such a big place?" The elderly bodyguard looked disbelieving, "We've seen everything in the courtyard, unless the kid can shrink his bones."
How else could we hide it? Is it possible..."
Gu Shengyang seemed to be smiling but not smiling, and said, "Tell me, go on."
What did the escort think of? The 90% disbelief in his heart suddenly turned into half-belief, and he asked in surprise: "Could it be that that kid is..."
"I heard from the servants in the Washington Palace that this young lady is very good-looking and is one of the best among the young ladies from the wealthy families in Heqing County." The young escort scratched his head and regretted saying, "I would have hired the escort if I had known better."
This job is quite convenient for him."
"As soon as your bodyguard arrives, he is going to visit the brothel. How can the master and the girl of the Washington Mansion be so relieved to let you in?" Gu Shengyang said disapprovingly, "Do you really think you are the groom and official of the Sun family? You want to crawl with other girls.
Embroidery bed?”
"Brother Wei was asked to go by name. It was because of his honesty in life and because he was still a boy that he was allowed to enter the house to guard him. I am afraid that Wu Erlang's methods will be too difficult to guard against, and you are afraid that you will not be able to do it outside the house."
Just keep a good watch, they are probably arriving soon.
He looked up and saw that the thunder was approaching but the rain had not yet arrived.
