It was approaching sunset, but the scorching orange sun was still scorching people.

Li San was sweating profusely as he ran, looked at the two teenagers in front of him, and said eagerly.

"After you left, two people in the pergola glanced at the direction you were leaving. Those looks are familiar to me, because every time the government comes to the inn to ask questions, it means that a wealthy businessman or wealthy customer has died."

"Do we look like rich people?" Zhou Yu was a little confused. He didn't take out a hundred and eighty taels of silver from his storage bag and throw it at anyone.

Why was he targeted by the robbers? It seems that the reason is because he is too handsome.

"Well, these people must die." Zhou Yu shuddered all over, thinking of something bad, but Li San explained directly.

"Because you spend your money too casually without any concern or distress. In addition, your companions look like boring gourds and not powerful at all. Maybe they want to kidnap you for blackmail."

Zhou Yu looked at Li San, who was only about fourteen or fifteen years old, and suddenly realized that he was quite smart, so he said.

"You can notice this. You must have already thought of a place for us to escape by now."

"Do you still need to consider this?" Li San was stunned, and his stunned expression clearly meant that there were no more words.

"..." Zhou Yu.

"You couldn't have just come over and told us we were in danger, then turned around and were about to run back, right?" Zhou Yu's forehead darkened.

"I remember there is a ruined temple three miles south of the station road. This... you should be able to hide." Li San also realized that he was a little reckless. In his opinion, as long as he warned in advance, this incident could be avoided.

happened.

"I didn't expect that a smart person like me would make mistakes." Li San sighed in distress.

"No matter what, you should hide as soon as possible. If that doesn't work, you can go back to the inn first and join the mountain people then."

"I'm afraid it's too late now." Zhou Yu shook his head and looked towards the road where Li San was coming. He saw two people on the hillside more than a hundred meters away, riding strong yellow geldings and watching.

But to say they were just waiting and watching was actually to be unscrupulous. Obviously Li San's report had alarmed them, and the reason why they showed up now was to give a silent warning while waiting for the large troops.

"It's over." Li San's face turned pale when he saw this scene. He glanced at Zhou Yu and then his eyes fell on Lin Zheng. He seemed to have thought of a lot and gritted his teeth.

"Let's go quickly and rush to the mountain temple while these thieves are watching. It's not like the plains here, but there are mountains and forests not far away, so we can hide easily."

"Do you know where these thieves come from?" Zhou Yu thought for a while and followed with Lin Zheng. Although a gentleman would not stand behind a dangerous wall, he did not take it seriously to some bandits.

Besides, if these bandits really dared to blatantly kill people and steal goods, Zhou Yu would be able to make some extra money by doing heroic acts.

"A few days ago, there was a monster tiger biting people in the Mangku Mountain in front of the inn. At that time, the government sent people to come. It was said that the bandits in the mountain forest had left. Now, I don't know if they are fleeing or hiding.

"Li San said, with worry on his face.

"But even the spies who started the attack were on horseback. According to my fourth uncle, they must be a group of big thieves... After I take you out of the way, I will have to rush back to inform my fourth uncle and the villagers to prevent the bandits from attacking the village."

"Thank you very much. Having said that, second brother, we are just meeting for the first time. Do you have to risk your life for us to warn us?" Zhou Yu asked with twinkling eyes.

In fact, he had another sentence that he didn't say out of fear of hurting Li San, which was that if he showed courtesy for nothing, he would be a traitor or a thief. For a humble second brother, with such dedication, wouldn't he be afraid that others would misunderstand that he was a gang of thieves?

Zhou Yu believed that he was a cultivator of immortals, and that his martial arts had reached the top of the mortal world. Moreover, the experience of going down the mountain also had the purpose of cultivating the heart of the sword, so he followed Li San to the ruined temple.

But if it were someone who has been running escorts all year round or who is overly defensive, I am afraid that he would have been tied up by now, and what is worse, he would have even been violently treated.

"Actually, I regret it now, but when I see this little brother next to you, I think of my second uncle's eldest cousin. When we were young, my eldest cousin often took us down the river to fish, but there was a bandit attack. In the village, my eldest cousin was beaten on the head to protect us. Now he is all stupid and can no longer fish." Li San was silent for a while, with anger in his eyes, sadness and desolate.

"Did you often eat grilled fish when you were young?" Zhou Yu couldn't help but ask.

"The kind with salt and chili oil."

"..." Li San, are we talking about the grilled fish now? Whether or not the fish is grilled is a matter of half a cent to escape.

But Zhou Yu, who had been staring at him, found that when he heard the spicy oil, his mouth smacked subconsciously.

"Okay, have you seen the sword on my back? These bandits really dare to come and kill them all for you to see, believe it or not." Seeing the sadness in his eyes transferred, Zhou Yu patted the Qing Ming sword on his back and said .

"A young hero who goes out has basically nothing he can't do except for having no hair on his mouth." Li San didn't say anything, but suddenly he had a deep understanding of the words of his fourth uncle who was the shopkeeper.

"Run quickly, there are still three miles to go to the mountain temple," he said.

But...two legs cannot outrun four legs after all, not to mention that Zhou Yu has not graduated in acting and cannot fully interpret the true meaning of escaping.

With more than a mile left, three bandits in black turbans appeared in front of them again, and the three of them were finally surrounded.

call……

It was as if the flat sand was rolled up by the yellow wind, and a quiet murderous aura emerged spontaneously between the horses' hooves.

"Put down your sword and hand over your money. If you don't have enough money, you can write a letter home." The leader of the bandits spoke cleanly, gruffly and muffled, with some emotion.

But the slightly raised steel knife, which seemed to be moving but not moving, had an extremely cold glow.

"I don't have any money, but I have a sword. If you want it, come and get it." Zhou Yu took a step forward, his tone was arrogant, and he raised his robe specially.

The leader of the bandits twitched his lips and faced the setting sun. He looked at the young man who looked like a hero but was obviously a fledgling. He was inexplicably reminded of his lost youth.

That year, he also wanted to be a knight, but now he wields a sword, but he only loves fat sheep.

"Hmph, you are not overestimating your own capabilities..." The leader of the bandits raised his knife and wanted to say something out of habit, arresting the younger one and killing the older one, but at a glance, all three of them were hairless. Little brat, he had to add angrily.

"Destroy the boy with the sword."

The next moment, horses neighed and bandits roared in, arriving in the blink of an eye.

Zhou Yu shook his head helplessly, and glanced at Lin Zheng, whose whole body tensed up and exposed his fangs, and at Li San, whose legs were trembling but gritted his teeth and persisted, revealing what he saw as a rather forced smile. He moved his right hand under his robe, channeled his magic power, and the Qingming Sword moved according to the sword technique.
