Not far away, there was a door where the wooden box carrying water would be put down. The guarding slaves would take out the pots full of water and then put them in the place where the water was stored, waiting for the slave owners to enjoy them.
Su Gu's line of sight swept over there. He did not feel that it was inappropriate, but he felt that his behavior was a bit cowardly. He was quite ashamed, but the thorn in his heart stabbed again, so he chose to avoid that side and detour.
If there was no accident afterwards, the three people from Yanjiao, you just wait! Su Gu's heart cursed.
Wu Shi, who was behind Su Gu, did not know what the young master was thinking at the moment and just slowly followed. Walking and walking, Wu Shi's heart suddenly raised a chill, and the hair on the back of his neck instantly stood up.
"Young master!"
Su Gu was walking when he heard Wu Shi's shout. Then, he was picked up. All he saw was the fast-retreating scenery.
Boom!
The big wooden box that was originally being carried exploded.
The flying splashes and pottery shards whistled past Su Gu's ears, hitting the surrounding wooden walls, making a "pop" sound, just like a dense arrow flying.
With the explosion of the wooden box, the splashes and pottery scattered, and three figures rushed out from inside.
The man, who was originally like a flattened tree bark, had doubled in size when he rushed out. They were different from ordinary slaves. There were no slave marks related to the slave owners on their bodies, and there were no words tattooed on their faces.
These slaves were specially trained for assassinations. Just like the Death Warriors, they had no intention of leaving once they arrived. They had their eyes fixed on the target. Their purpose should be to rush into the interior of the palace and assassinate the city's largest slave owner, Luoye City King Su Lun.
The surrounding slaves shouted, as well as the beast-like roars of the assassins.
From calm to austere, the air was full of suffocating killing intent. In an instant, the blood overflowed.
Su Gu was carried to a place far away from the battlefield. He caught a glimpse of a red and white liquid spurting from not far away, along with the sound of broken bones and an abrupt scream.
Bang –
Shortly after Su Gu left, several figures were hit by a violent force. They slammed into the wooden wall and instantly penetrated the wooden wall that Su Gu had just passed through. The people who were hit through the wall fell to the ground. Their bodies were distorted and badly mutilated. It was unknown whether they were dead or alive. These were the slaves who guarded the palace in Luoye City.
The trunk of the Sunset Tree was much sturdier than that of ordinary trees. The older it was, the sturdier it became. The slave owners in the city sometimes used sunset trees to make spears, arrows, and so on. The tribesmen who came and went, especially those who liked to use arrows, would take out a lot of things to exchange for sunset trees.
Many of the wood used in the palace were sunset trees that were more than a hundred years old. Those hard wooden walls, even if not as good as stone walls, were enough to block the general slaves. However, at this time, Su Gu only heard the sound of the walls being broken. The trees that were usually called the hardest in the desert were so vulnerable at this time.
Wu Shi carried Su Gu and gradually left the battlefield. There were still sounds of fighting and killing.
At the edge of the palace, Wu Shi stopped to rest. There were many wounds on his back, but fortunately, they were not fatal. He had also escaped quickly, so the danger had passed for the time being. However, if he had been a little closer to that side, he might not have had time to escape.
It was lucky, otherwise, he would follow in the footsteps of the former servant. Wu Shi thought.
Looking at the young master who was brought here, Wu Shi found that the young master's state was somewhat wrong. His eyes were only staring ahead, unfocused. He did not know what he was thinking.
Was he scared silly?
Although this time it was indeed dangerous, this kind of assassination happened every year. As a competitor for the king, his courage should not be so small.
"Young master?" Wu Shi probed.
Su Gu did not answer.
"Third young master?" Wu Shi increased his volume.
Su Gu still did not greet him.
"Third young master, are you okay?" Wu Shi reached out and poked him.
Su Gu, who was immersed in his thoughts, almost jumped up in shock.
"Third young master, are you okay?" Wu Shi asked again.
"No … No … Nothing!" Su Gu's voice trembled a little.
Was he really scared? Wu Shi thought.
Ignoring Wu Shi, Su Gu carefully listened to the movement over there. After the other side slowly calmed down, Su Gu said, "Let's go and see."
Distinguishing the sound over there, Wu Shi knew that it was temporarily handled, but he did not know if there were other unknown assassins. However, at this time, the young master said that he wanted to go, and he could not stop him. He could only protect him and go there.
Around the broken wooden walls, the red blood was very conspicuous. The dead slaves were being dragged away.
In the collapsed places, there were also slaves cleaning up.
Su Gu saw a person who fell to the ground. That person was not a slave of Luoye City, but an assassin.
He signaled Wu Shi to remove the sawdust covering the top. Su Gu carefully looked at the dead assassin.
The assassin had many injuries on his body, and all of them were pierced by sharp weapons. However, even with such injuries, he persisted for a period of time. His vitality was much stronger than the average slave.
On their hands, the black raised finger bones seemed to be a sharp blade dipped in poison, shining with a cold light.
There were no special signs on their bodies, so they could not see which city they were from.
These people usually hid very well, making it difficult to detect their breath. Otherwise, they would not have been carried all the way from the oasis to here.
These were specially trained slaves for assassination. These slaves were carefully trained from childhood until they were sent on a task. Their entire lives were dedicated to an assassination. Such slaves were extremely dangerous, and also a sharp butcher knife in the hands of the big slave owners.
The competition between the big slave owners, in addition to a few open desert battles from time to time, there was also a steady stream of assassinations. Su Gu knew that his father's men also had them, but no one had ever seen them, including Su Gu himself and his two other brothers.
"Third young master?" A servant came over. He was ordered by the king to clean up the post-war affairs, but why was the third young master standing here?
Su Gu withdrew his sight from the slave and waved his hand, indicating the slaves who came to clean up the battlefield to continue. After listening to the slaves who cleaned up the battlefield, he turned and left.
Twenty-three slaves, nine assistant slaves, fourteen servant slaves, and twelve people who carried the wooden box in were all dead. Ten of the fifteen slaves who were guarding at the door were dead. The slaves who rushed over were either dead or injured. With such injuries, it was estimated that they would die soon. The death toll would eventually exceed thirty, or even forty...
If there was no detour at that time, but directly passed through there, would he also be on the death list?
Su Gu recalled the words of the Yanjiao tribe's man named Shao Xuan. By chance? Or had he already received the news?
The more he thought about it, the more confused he became. He could not stand still. Originally, Su Gu went to the place where he lived, but now he directly turned and ran toward the palace exit.
Wu Shi, who was behind him, saw the young master suddenly turn and run. After thinking about it, he continued to follow.
Therefore, on that day, the slaves of Luoye City saw the third young master rush into the tribal area in the morning. After he came out with a cold face, they saw him rush in again.
