The old man nodded as he heard the voices within the carriage. Then he stood up and shouted. The carriage and the surrounding guards also sped up. During this spring season, there were a lot of thunderstorms. Just say it, just say it.
The carriage slowly moved less than two hundred meters, and the heavy rain started to pour down as the guards started to clamor one by one. They were all guards hired with money, but this was the first time this was their first time guarding someone in this thunderstorm.
The rain was getting heavier and heavier, and the road was getting more and more difficult. The horse carriage was stuck in a pit of mud, and more than a dozen guards were forcefully pushing the horse carriage forward.
"Everyone, use your strength together …" Push the carriage up. There's a broken temple up ahead. We can go up ahead and take shelter from the rain. " Fober had already got off the carriage and joined in the push.
At this moment, the white-haired youth, who was walking at the back and was drenched by the rain, saw the scene before him. At this moment, the white-haired youth, who was walking at the back and was drenched by the rain, saw the scene before him. The carriage was finally out of the mud pit.
Of course! His movements were very simple and very light. No one in the room noticed him.
Pushing the carriage forward, a joyous cry could be heard as several of the guards began to jubilantly push the carriage forward.
There was a run-down temple up ahead. Apparently, no one had lived in this temple for many years. Weeds and even two or three white rabbits could be seen. After the guards entered the dilapidated temple, it was immediately filled with life.
The young girl's face was covered by a veil, so no one could see her face, but judging from her figure and her beautiful figure, she was definitely a beauty. And beside the little beauty was a young boy about ten years old, and the little boy even had some baby fat on him. However, from their expressions, one could tell that they were a bit arrogant and there was a bit of disdain between their brows for these guards.
"Miss, Young Master. This way, please! "
Fober smiled apologetically as he stretched out his hand and made an inviting gesture, then said to the girl and the little boy.
The woman did not refuse. Just like the boy, the two of them walked past the guards in the hall and into a small hall.
As the woman entered the small hall, the guards felt somewhat regretful. Usually, when they were bored, they would look at her and feel very satisfied. Today, the females hid from them, they couldn't help but feel disappointment in their hearts.
A few torches were quickly lit inside the temple. The guards took off their clothes one by one and began to roast them. The rest of the guards grabbed a few wild rabbits from the temple, washed them and placed them on a rack to roast them. As they chatted, they would also talk about some interesting things about the warrior's life.
However, he was unable to pay attention to the white-haired young man who was leaning on the stone platform. On his knee was a cold, ancient zither, and his fingers were like the delicate fingers of a woman. He lightly strummed the strings of the zither, and a faint sound of the zither rang out.
The sound of the zither broke the noise of the guards in the run-down temple. They all stopped what they were doing and looked towards the source of the sound.
Even the young boy and the woman started listening attentively, and traces of surprise and confusion appeared in the woman's eyes. These few days, there were many people who were guarding the place. The woman had been observing this white-haired youth the entire time. He didn't look old, but his hair was white. Moreover, every time he went anywhere, he would play a song with his zither.
The sound was good, but it carried a bone piercing desolation. Even a lively girl cried after hearing the sound. It was as if he could see a pair of lovers through the zither music, one in the shade and the other in the sun. From then on, the two of them were separated …
The sound continued to ring out, as uninterrupted as the rain.
"Sis, the guqin that this big brother is playing is really nice to listen to." The little boy held his sister's hand, pursed his lips and said.
The woman was silent for a moment, her eyes moist. The woman had played the zither since she was young, so she understood the zither music very well. She could faintly hear the meaning of the zither music.
"I'm playing with my heart, so of course it's nice to hear." The woman secretly smiled, but her smile was very forced. At this moment, her heart had been drawn into the zither music. She followed that desolate sound, carrying with it a bit of sadness.
"It's just that it's too desolation. I can feel tears welling up in my eyes." The boy wiped his eyes and wrinkled his nose.
"Ha!" This was the highest realm of the zither, entering the realm of sound. It was as if you could feel the wonderful story of the song from the zither music. " Inside, there were two big oil cakes and some other food. The woman did not pay any more attention to her brother, and slowly walked to White-haired Man's side, then placed the food in the package beside White-haired Man who was playing the zither. She stood beside the man for a long time without saying anything and without any movement. The man seemed to feel that there was no one around him. He completely ignored them.
"This brat is just like a woman. A grown man stroking the zither all day, what does that count as?"
"That's right, I really don't understand how Boss chose this kid to be his bodyguard. He did little on the way, and wherever he went, or drank, he would stroke the zither when he rested. Damn, this kid is clearly here to eat and drink."
"I heard that this kid only eats three meals and doesn't charge any money? It seems like the boss doesn't have any money, which is why I hired him! "
"Tsk, hiring a useless trash who only eats and doesn't work, what's the use of it."
Indeed, White-haired Man did not do much work from following the team. While the other guards were cooking, he was actually playing the zither by himself. However, the man didn't ask for food from them, as most of them were women or small boys who would give him some food.
Because at that time, when the woman hired White-haired Man, she didn't think about what he was going to do for her at all. She only felt pity for him and brought him along while she gave him some food.
The kind woman from before, however, only after seeing White-haired Man touch the zither with his hand did she start to look at White-haired Man with a different light. She could tell that White-haired Man was not a simple person and was only under the zither. This man was definitely not one of those wandering warriors who only ate three meals.
After all, to be able to play a good zither and walk within the Grand Merchant Empire, no matter where one was, one would be able to make a name for themselves. As for such a person suddenly living on the streets and only eating three meals to be a guard, then there must be a story behind it.
"Buzz!"
In vain, the gentle zither music in White-haired Man's hand vibrated, and the lingering music disappeared. In its place was a wave of murderous intent, like the lute in a battlefield, shaking the ears. White-haired Man's hand speed became faster and faster. From the sound of it, he was like a magnificent army with thousands of horses and men galloping. The killing intent in his voice immediately caused everyone to sink into an icehouse.
Regardless of whether it was the woman or the other guards, all of their expressions changed. It was as if they could feel waves of killing intent heading towards them.
"Brat, what kind of lousy guqin are you playing? Stop it right now!"
Immediately, one of the guards shouted loudly, drew his weapon and walked towards White-haired Man.
However, he couldn't even take two steps forward.
Xiu Xiu! *
An arrow flew in from outside the temple, piercing through the chest of the guard and nailing him to a pillar behind him.
Suddenly, the entire temple descended into a state of silence. All the guards were stupefied with their eyes wide open, unable to understand what was going on.
But very quickly, the zither notes in White-haired Man's hands became faster and faster, and his killing intent got even closer. He could only see the arrow feathers outside the broken temple shooting in again. Two more guards were nailed to the ground on the spot.
At this moment, the old man called Fober finally reacted and shouted with a flushed face, "Everyone be careful, the enemy is attacking …"
After Fober shouted, he took out a large blade and waved it, blocking all the arrows flying towards him. He then pulled the pale-faced boy behind him and said to the girl, "Miss, be careful!"
The woman was so frightened by this sudden change that she screamed again and again. His body was crouched down. Then, he ran towards Fober.
"Hey!" That place is dangerous, run quickly... " When the woman left, she didn't forget to call White-haired Man, but the man continued to stroke the zither at a speed that was as fast as ever. As if it was none of his business. The woman had no choice but to run away.
"Everyone, find a place to hide, quick..." Out of the thirteen guards, three had died in an instant. The remaining ten people were each looking for a place to hide. Avoid arrows hitting them.
After making preparations, the arrows that hit the target were practically nothing. However, before the guards could hide, hundreds of men in black jumped out from outside the temple and charged towards the guards.
After all, these guards were hired with money, and they couldn't even talk about loyalty. Seeing so many men dressed in black rushing over, they were all so scared that their guts were about to burst.
"Ah!" Everyone run, run for your lives!
0
When the ten guards saw this, a large group of men in black rushed over. Their expressions changed drastically as they ran out of the temple like crazy.
However, the man in black who had charged in seemed to have not expected that they would be allowed to leave. Before he had left, a masked man in the lead had slaughtered ten guards with a large blade in his hand.
"Men, women, old and young, don't leave a single one alive. Kill them all."
The leader of the masked men said in a cold tone and chopped towards Fober.
Fober protected the girl and the little boy, blocking with his broadsword as he retreated.
"Miss, Young Master, run!" Fober shouted as he blocked the knife.
"Sis, I'm scared. I'm afraid. Why would they want to kill us? "
The boy and girl were hugging each other in a corner. In front of them was Fober, who was immersed in a bloody battle. The broadsword in his hand was constantly blocking and killing the surrounding masked men. However, he had sustained more than ten injuries on his body.
[Dragon Slash] …
Blood spurted out of Fober's mouth, blood was all over his forehead, face and body. At this moment, he brandished his broadsword and hacked down mercilessly, killing two masked men in front of him. The other masked men all retreated.
