Chapter 17 Wind and Rain(1/2)
The sound of footsteps was rapid, and the night rain penetrated the forest. From time to time in the sparse woods, there were sounds of fists and kicks, and the sound of hand-to-hand combat. Li Yingmin suddenly turned around and hit the opponent's chest with a monument-breaking hand. With his skill, he cracked the opponent with all his strength.
The power of the stele bearer is enough to crack metal and break stone. At this moment, the key point is hit. Even if the opponent has deep internal strength, he will definitely die or be disabled.
The man in black received such a heavy blow that his body flew more than ten feet away, and a mouthful of blood spurted out immediately. However, he continued to fight regardless of his bravery and fear of death.
A flash of cold light flashed, and the head of the man in black flew out. Li Yingjie killed the man in black with one knife. At this moment, he was hit by three arrows and was covered in blood, both from his own and his enemies.
"Brother, what should I do? I'm afraid General Xing's personal troops won't be able to hold on for long, and the Yuyi Arrows will catch up soon." Everyone gathered around and Li Yingjie asked anxiously.
Li Yingmin never expected that the other party would not only mobilize the dead soldiers who had been supported for many years, but also mobilize the elite troops of the imperial court. No matter how high their martial arts skills were, how could they withstand the attack of the Yuyi Arrow Team?
"Third brother, your Qinggong is the best. There is a Zhenwei Bodyguard Bureau thirty miles to the left. The chief bodyguard's surname is Gu. Please give this thing to them and give it to the head of the family through their hands."
"Brother, Qingshui County is just a dozen miles ahead. As long as they enter the city, the Yuyi Arrow Team will not dare to openly enter the city to arrest them!" A man in white said.
"Don't you understand? We have no way out. They are determined to win. Even the Yuyi Archery Team has been mobilized. What's the use of escaping into Qingshui County? I dare to conclude that several surrounding counties have already posted
If our wanted order goes to Qingshui County now, it will only lead to falling into a trap."
"Otherwise, if we fight them, there might be a glimmer of hope."
"Bastard." There was a crisp sound, and Li Yingmin slapped him hard on the face: "What nonsense are you talking about? How can a mortal body defeat the Yuyi Arrows? At this time, you still have such unrealistic intentions.
Fantasy, third brother, you have disappointed me so much."
"Yes, brother. I understand."
Li Yingmin patted his shoulder: "Don't worry! It's not easy for the Yuyi Archers to find us in the deep mountains. Maybe we can meet again in the future. Remember, don't expose your whereabouts, especially don't let anyone know.
I know you handed that treasure to the Zhenwei Escort Agency."
"Brother, take care of yourself." The man in white gave him a heavy fist, turned around and disappeared into the jungle with a few leaps.
"Quickly, clean up the traces."
"Brother, why don't we show some traces to them so that they know our whereabouts and avoid chasing our third brother?" Li Yingjie said.
"The Yuyi Arrow Team is so elite. Why can't we find traces in this jungle? But if the traces are too obvious, they will become suspicious. We must try our best to pretend to be sneaking and buy time for the third brother."
………………
"Who?" Gu Yongyan suddenly opened his eyes, jumped up from the bed, and picked up the big knife hanging on the bedside. Standing in front of him was a man in white, with a handsome face that could not be concealed.
With a tired look on his face, if he looked carefully, he saw that the white clothes on his body were damaged in several places and there were some blood stains on them.
Gu Yongyan was horrified. In the dead of night, the other party was able to quietly approach within ten feet of him, but he didn't notice it at all. It's easy to imagine how high the Qing Gong was.
This person's behavior is so suspicious, could he be a fugitive? Gu Yongyan was wary. If he was really a fugitive, and he just wanted some money, he could give it to him and avoid disaster. He didn't have much confidence that he could defeat this person.
"My friend, I don't know why you broke into your house in the middle of the night?"
"Mr. Escort Gu, I'm here late at night. Please forgive me for my rudeness. I have an urgent business to negotiate with Escort Gu." The man in white said politely.
"If it's business, Mr. Gu will naturally greet you in the lobby tomorrow, so why bother breaking into Mr. Gu's house in the middle of the night?"
"It's an urgent matter. I'm afraid I won't be able to wait until tomorrow. Please listen to me, Mr. Gu. I have an object. I hope Mr. Gu can escort it to Prince Huinan's Mansion in Bianjing. The reward will be ten thousand taels."
"Prince Huinan's Mansion, I don't know what kind of object it is. With your martial arts skills, why should you contact Zhenwei Escort?" Gu Yongyan was not happy and reacted with alarm. The reward was 10,000 taels, which was equal to the income of his Escort Agency for several years. He did not believe that someone would come from heaven.
It's a good thing about pie, and it actually involves a high-level person like King Huinan. If you are not careful, you may be killed.
"What the object is, I can't tell Gu Biaotou for the time being. Knowing too much would be bad and would cause trouble. I can only tell you that this object is very important to King Huinan. If Gu Biaotou can deliver it to Hui Nan, I can't tell you."
Prince Nan, Prince Huinan, and everyone in the House are deeply grateful to you. If you ask for anything in the future, Prince Huinan will do their best."
"Can you state clearly who you are?"
"I am a servant of Prince Huinan's Mansion, my name is insignificant."
"I'm sorry, the Escort Agency has regulations not to accept objects of unknown origin. The Zhenwei Escort Agency is a small temple. I'm afraid that I may have betrayed your trust. Please find someone else. As for today's matter, Gu should keep his mouth shut and just treat it as a secret.
Your Excellency has never been here." After thinking for a long time, years of experience and intuition finally defeated greed, Gu Yongyan said.
The conditions offered by the other party are not unreasonable, including a reward of 10,000 taels and the opportunity to get involved with Prince Huinan's Palace, especially the latter. If the latter can get the attention of Prince Huinan's Palace, the escort agency will grow rapidly. This is what he has always wanted.
Expected.
It's just that this matter is really weird, and the things involved are definitely not something that a small escort agency can handle.
"Then I'll take my leave." The man in white didn't force himself and jumped out of the window.
Seeing the man in white leave, he breathed a sigh of relief, but felt a little unwilling to do so. He closed the window and took a few small steps around the room with his hands behind his back.
Gu Yongyan sighed deeply. He was old and had long lost his ambition and courage. He just wanted to live a stable life and earn a little money to live a comfortable life. He did not want to get involved in unknown right and wrong.
With emotion in his heart, he lifted up the quilt and got in. He felt as if something hit his back. He turned around and found that there was a small yellow box under his quilt, and there was a piece of paper beside it.
note.
Gu Yongyan quickly lit the lamp, picked up the note and took a look.
"General Escort Chief Gu has given me a banknote of 10,000 taels and sent it to Prince Huinan's Mansion with a big thank you. If you don't obey, you will be King Huinan's enemy. King Huinan will fight to the death with Zhenwei Escort Bureau. This matter is important."
, don’t tell others, remember.”
Gu Yongyan was shocked. It turned out that the other party had already put something beside him, so he could detect that the other party made the noise intentionally just now.
Looking again, there is indeed a 10,000 tael silver note underneath the note. It is a silver note from Jinyin Bank. Jinyin Bank is the largest bank in Chu State. Their banknotes can be cashed at any bank in Chu State.
.
He had boarded a pirate ship, and the other party would not allow him to refuse, otherwise he would have to bear the thunderous wrath of King Huinan.

As fast as the wind, as fierce as fire, with a powerful crossbow and scimitar, wearing soap clothes, a black mask on the face, and riding boots. They are the famous Yuyi Archery Team of Chu State.
"Sir, all the traitors have been beheaded," a sergeant said.
The officer on the horse nodded and looked at the man in green shirt beside him.
The man in green shirt was also riding on the horse. After hearing this, he stood up and lightly tapped his feet on the horse's back, and he jumped away.
After a long time, the man in green shirt returned to the officer: "Your Majesty, Commander, there is still one less traitor, and I have not found what the General told me. Please give me an order to search every corner of the entire mountain, even if the entire mountain is destroyed."
No matter how stubborn you are, you will definitely find that thing."
"Mr. Zhu, what if that thing is on the escaped rebels? Don't you think it's too much to dig three feet into the ground for such a huge mountain? What do you think of my Yuyi Archery Team? I am directly under the command of the Holy Majesty, but I don't care
What is your general's order?"
"My lord, don't be upset. Of course I know that the general is loyal to the emperor, but the palace requires you to assist the general. If the matter is not completed, how will the general explain to her? I dare to ask, my lord, whether you are close to the emperor or she is close to the emperor."
The officer on the horse was silent and thoughtful.
"If this happens, the general will report to Your Majesty and confer the title of Marquis of Thousand Households on Your Majesty, and your descendants will inherit the title of Marquis hereditary."
"Mr. Zhu should tell me what that thing is, otherwise how will I find it?"
"It's a token."
"Token?" the officer said suddenly, "Is it true?"
"Yes, now you know why the general is determined to win! The young master is already fifteen years old."
"Didn't Mr. Zhu say that another criminal escaped? What if the token is on him?"
"No need to worry, sir. The man in the palace has sent secret orders to the surrounding county guards. At this moment, wanted notices have been posted all over the county and the city. He cannot escape. As soon as day breaks, I will enter the city and mobilize the soldiers of Qingshui County with the order of the general.
Horses have surrounded this mountain and no outsiders are allowed to enter or leave. As for you, sir, you only need to search with all your heart."
"Okay, just follow what Mr. Zhu said."
The two of them didn't realize that a pair of eyes were looking at them among the dense branches and leaves above them.
Jinshan Stream has a reputation of being so dangerous that it is difficult for birds to cross, and it is difficult for apes and monkeys to climb. There are snakes, scorpions, and ferocious beasts above, and there are rushing waterfalls below, which are intimidating to people.
Only a few people know that a group of strongmen live here. They occasionally go out to forage, burn, kill and loot, but usually hide in the mountains to avoid encirclement and suppression by officers.
Today, Jinshan Stream welcomed an outsider.
"Hey, what brought you here today, brother? Now that you have both fame and fortune, you can't be here just because I miss you, brother. You have always avoided us!" The name of Jinshanjian's boss is
Huang Shi is a middle-aged man with a beard. At this moment, he is teasing the visitor with a smile on his face.
Although his tone was relaxed, he was slightly nervous in his heart. He wondered if he had accidentally provoked someone recently. Although the two had some friendship before, it was already more than ten years ago.
"I have a business deal with you," the person said.
"With your ability, can you still use me? What's the use of asking me for something that even your brother can't accomplish?"
"The thing is very simple, it's just that it's not convenient for me to take action."
"whats the matter?"
"There is an object that I want in the Zhenwei Escort, but I can't let others know that I took it. I need your men. You deal with the people in the Escort. I will pretend to be one of your people and leave as soon as I get the thing.
After it is completed, I will give you ten thousand taels of silver."
"Haha, it's a trivial matter, but I'm curious about what kind of object makes you feel so hot that you even pretend to be a bandit." Huang Shi chuckled.
"It's best not to ask questions that shouldn't be asked. It will cause trouble. Don't worry, that thing will be of no use to you."
"Okay! When will we do it?"
