The carriage was bumpy on the road, but Lü Shu continued to cultivate calmly.
These few days, whenever Sun Zhongyang thought about the phrase "seeing money is like seeing a face," his head would hurt a little, especially when he saw Xu Mujun leaning towards Lü Shu from time to time.
He just couldn't understand how such a beautiful girl, a girl who was proficient in the four arts, a girl who spoke so nicely, would be so smitten by a pretty boy?
Among the 12 people traveling with Sun Zhongyang, there were five girls and seven guys. They actually grew up together, going to private school together and still staying together after entering the Imperial College. Although Mo Xiaoya and the others were all top-notch beauties, they were too familiar with each other and couldn't bear to do anything to them.
Who knows, their families might arrange a marriage between them one day, but after that, they would probably treat each other with respect. After all, it was a union of benefits.
Hence, even if they were together, it wouldn't be as satisfying as having a female slave for themselves.
"That guy's too greedy for money." Sun Zhongyang sighed. He was the one who told Mo Xiaoya before that they didn't experience poverty, so they shouldn't use morality to blackmail others. In the end, he couldn't take it anymore …
He was actually slapped in the face by his own words. Sun Zhongyang was a little angry …
"Hehe, if he wasn't greedy for money, why would he choose to betray that Commander Wu Weijun?" Someone sneered. "Should we find a time to kill him?"
Speaking up to this point, Sun Zhongyang still shook his head. "He didn't lie or betray us. Why should we kill him? You guys, don't be so vicious! "
For some reason, when Sun Zhongyang said this, he felt like he was being too arrogant, but he couldn't figure out what went wrong.
Along the way, the caravan didn't stop to rest. The caravan boss ignored all the cities that would have stopped to resell their goods.
Now, only the boss and his slaves, Lü Shu, Lü Xiaoyu, and the nobles from the royal city were left in the caravan.
Lü Shu even joked that the boss didn't even want to do business anymore. If he didn't want to waste time selling goods, he could have brought someone along.
In the end, the boss shook his head. "What do you know? These young masters and ladies are all nobles. How would they know the dangers of this world? It's very chaotic outside! There was also enmity between the rich and powerful. It was a great enmity that had been accumulated for thousands of years. Who knows, they might even make it so that they couldn't return. How could I bear the consequences? Even if we don't talk about the enmity between the rich and powerful, do you think … "
Just then, a buzzing sound came from afar. Lü Shu subconsciously looked over and saw a black dot flying over from the horizon.
The caravan owner didn't even have a chance to react before Lü Shu quickly pulled him to the side. The next thing he knew, the thick arrow had brushed past his cheek, and the sharp wind from the arrow was enough to make his cheek hurt.
At this moment, he suddenly saw Sun Zhongyang suddenly fly out of the carriage. The carriage had been smashed by Sun Zhongyang from the inside out, turning into sawdust that filled the sky.
In just a few moments, Sun Zhongyang had already arrived in front of Lü Shu and the caravan owner. He stretched out his hand and flicked the arrow with his index and middle fingers, hitting the end of the arrow.
As if the arrow had eyes of its own, it spun and flew straight up into the sky, landing in Lü Shu's hand.
Lü Shu handed the arrow to Sun Zhongyang. Sun Zhongyang turned to the caravan owner and asked, "Do you recognize this arrow?"
The arrow didn't look like it could be used by ordinary people. The shaft was as thick as a baby's fist, and it was even made of metal.
The caravan owner shook his head and said, "Although this isn't a common toy, many large slaves and street children are good at using it. I can't be sure who is using it. Under normal circumstances, sneak attacks focus on not alerting the enemy, and it's best to kill them in one shot. However, street children are afraid of death, so they will always scout the area before they attack. If they find that the situation is bad, they will immediately retreat. They only do things that they are confident in. Now that you have made your move, I'm afraid they will immediately flee for thousands of miles and won't show up again for at least a few years. "
Sun Zhongyang frowned and asked, "They don't have any First Grade experts?"
"Please don't chase after them. There is another possibility …" The caravan owner looked at Sun Zhongyang with hesitation.
"Just say it," Sun Zhongyang said calmly.
"Sometimes, they use this method to lure the children of the king city. The children of the king city are arrogant, and some will fall for it. They will chase after them, only to be surrounded and killed. There are some experts among them," the caravan owner said carefully. In fact, it was obvious that these street children looked down on the children of the king city, thinking that they were too impulsive and overconfident.
However, this was the reality. Street children often succeeded. After completing a job, they hid their names for several years and waited for all the clues about them to disappear before coming out again to take on another job.
These large slaves had a long history. They were hidden dangers left behind by the Old Divine King during his wars. Back then, many of the large slaves were extremely fierce.
Lü Shu was surprised that there were such fierce slaves in Lü Zhou. They were just like mercenaries. They even dared to attack a child of a powerful family like Sun Zhongyang?
"I wonder who it's coming for?" Sun Zhongyang was confused. There were twelve of them here, and any one of them could attract such a powerful enemy. After all, the rise of a rich family was the result of stepping on thousands of corpses.
However, Sun Zhongyang and the others had the confidence to come out. If they were ordinary young masters from rich families, they would be idiots if they didn't bring a follower with them. However, Sun Zhongyang wasn't an idiot. He had already thought of the situation that the caravan owner had mentioned.
However, four first grade and eight second grade. This was already a terrifying force. Before they came out, they had already mentioned this, and Sun Zhongyang's intention was to kill as many as they came.
This was the confidence of Sun Zhongyang's group.
However, when the caravan owner recalled the scene just now, he pretended to look at Lü Shu indifferently. At that moment, as a second grade, he couldn't react at all. The arrow was so fast that when they heard the sound, it was already too late to dodge. The arrow was faster than the sound! And a lot faster! When they heard the sound that sounded like an explosion, the arrow was already in front of them!
However, before the caravan owner could react, Lü Shu did. Originally, the caravan owner thought that Lü Shu was just a small cultivator. Sun Zhongyang and the others even teased Lü Shu about how it was useless no matter how hard he cultivated.
Lü Shu noticed that the caravan owner was secretly looking at them. He smiled and said, "We won't have to pay for bringing us along."
The caravan owner was speechless. Since when were people always thinking about money …
