Song Zhi clutched his wet clothes and lowered his eyes in embarrassment. "It's nothing. I'll just sit like this for a while."
"How can you do that? You should take it off. The weather is cold these days. If you get frostbite, the journey will be delayed." Jing Rong said.
'That's right!'
Song Zhi thought. If he really wanted to travel with them, he couldn't drag them down. Otherwise, they would have to take care of him.
Thus, he hurriedly took off his outer clothes and hung them on a shelf.
Then, he hung them on a nearby shelf.
Slowly drying them!
Song Zhi folded his arms and curled up like a woman.
He felt embarrassed.
It made people laugh.
After a while, he suddenly thought of something. He raised his eyes and carefully looked at the other group of people.
Then, he lowered his voice and asked, "Who … are those people?"
Jing Rong, who was poking the fire with a wooden stick, casually replied, "I don't know them!"
"Oh!"
Bai Yin suddenly said, "Young Master Song, if you're curious, you can go and greet them."
Pfft!
Isn't this asking for Song Zhi's life?
He was afraid that it would be too late.
He quickly waved his hands. "No, no, no."
He shrunk back.
Everyone else also quieted down.
Only the sound of thunder and rain could be heard outside.
Song Zhi suddenly felt a pain in his stomach. He frowned and bit his lip. He looked outside.
After a while, he said with embarrassment, "Um, I'm really sorry. I … I'm going to relieve myself!"
After all, people have three needs!
Song Zhi held his stomach and went out.
Bai Yin frowned. "Are we really going to bring that bookworm with us to Gaoding?"
He wasn't willing!
He didn't want to be a burden.
He would only bring trouble to himself.
Jing Rong was silent.
Ji Yunshu said, "He's going to Gaoding alone. It's a long journey and he doesn't know martial arts. If something happens, I'm afraid it will be very troublesome."
"So, you want to bring him?"
"In any case, we're going in the same direction. It won't affect anything if we go together."
"But if something happens along the way, we won't be able to take care of him."
"Since we've already met, we can't just abandon him tomorrow morning, can we?" Ji Yunshu countered.
'This … I really can't do it.'
Bai Yin sighed and looked at Jing Rong, wanting his opinion.
But Jing Rong's silence explained everything.
So, Bai Yin did not want to say anything more. She crossed her arms and leaned back to rest.
The other side.
That group of people was always on high alert.
The purple-clothed man was their leader. He was tall and strong, and his expression was tense. One could even see the ferocity on his face.
When he saw Song Zhi leave, he ordered the people around him, "Go and keep an eye on him."
"Yes!"
The person beside him quietly followed him out.
At this moment, a person beside the purple-robed man came over and asked, "What about that group of people?"
"Just keep an eye on him."
"En!"
Just then —
The two sacks they had set aside suddenly began to move.
The person inside started struggling with all his might!
Probably because his mouth was stuffed with something, he could only let out a "wu wu wu" sound.
He couldn't shout.
This noise immediately attracted the attention of Jing Rong and the others.
He couldn't help but look over.
A murderous glint flashed across the purple-clothed man's eyes.
Zhang Xuan tightened his grip.
It was as if his secret was about to be discovered.
Jing Rong had already guessed their intentions.
He was also on guard.
It seemed that the person in the sacks was their secret!
They couldn't let anyone know.
Those who knew would be killed to keep their mouths shut.
At this moment —
Suddenly, a few men in black appeared outside.
They charged toward the group of people.
They stabbed a man to death on the spot!
In an instant, the dozen or so people immediately drew their swords.
They began to fight with the men in black.
The purple-clothed man loudly ordered his men, "Keep an eye on him."
Thus, the men immediately surrounded the two sacks.
To prevent the person in the sacks from being rescued by the men in black.
Although there were only a few men in black, each of them was highly skilled in martial arts.
The two groups of people fought fiercely.
The imperial guard asked Jing Rong, "Your Highness, what should we do?"
"Don't worry about it!"
It had nothing to do with them.
They could just watch the show!
Soon, the group of people in black was almost wiped out by the men in black.
Blood splattered everywhere!
The ground was littered with corpses.
Two of the men in black rushed in and beheaded the men guarding the sacks. They carried the sacks and prepared to leave.
However, when they saw Jing Rong's group, they paused.
Seeing that Jing Rong and the others were indifferent, the men in black thought that it had nothing to do with that group of people, so they ignored them and left.
They didn't start a massacre.
It seemed that those men in black were not people who would kill innocent people.
But when they were about to leave with the sacks, they saw Song Zhi return.
When Song Zhi, who was ordered by the purple-clothed man to follow him, saw the scene in front of him, he immediately drew his sword and asked, "Who are you!"
Then he rushed forward.
Song Zhi was also stunned and stood rooted to the ground.
The men in black effortlessly killed the man who rushed over.
They also thought that Song Zhi was with that group of people.
The man in black raised his sword and stabbed it at him!
Just at the moment when the sword stabbed in front of him —
A stone came out from inside.
It hit the sword.
It was very powerful!
The sword in the man's hand fell to the ground.
Jing Rong nimbly flashed out from inside and immediately grabbed the hand of the man in black and threw him hard.
The man in black immediately fell to the ground!
Once Jing Rong intervened, there was no room to stop.
Thus, those men in black also regarded them as targets to be killed.
One of the men in black shouted, "Kill!"
The men in black attacked them one after another.
Seeing this, Jing Rong pulled Song Zhi, who was frozen in place, and pushed him to Bai Yin who just came out from inside. "Bring him in."
Bai Yin grabbed him and threw him to one of the guards, ordering, "Protect Teacher Ji and Young Master Song."
"Yes!"
Several guards immediately surrounded Ji Yunshu and Song Zhi.
Song Zhi was dumbfounded. "This … What is going on?"
This was the first time he saw such a bloody scene!
He was scared to death!
The martial arts of those men in black were very high. Even with Jing Rong and Bai Yin's experience, it was difficult to deal with them!
Three of the black-robed men rushed in and fought with the guards.
Ji Yunshu was separated from them!
One of the men in black pointed his sword at her.
Ji Yunshu retreated several steps.
Her back hit the dilapidated wall.
There was a loud "Peng" sound.
Following this sound, a token suddenly fell out of her sleeve.
It fell to the ground.
It rolled next to the feet of the man in black.
The man in black looked down and his pupils instantly widened.
The murderous look in his eyes suddenly disappeared.
Even the sword that was about to stab Ji Yunshu was retracted.
Then, he picked up the token from the ground.
