The rain of arrows was a bit sudden, and Lv Shu's escape was also a bit sudden. Just a moment ago, Sun Zhongyang had confidently said that Lv Shu wouldn't run, but in the end, he had already run.
But why did he have to carry the carriage?
In reality, this rain of arrows wasn't much of a threat. At the very least, a Grade 2 expert wouldn't die to this kind of method. So, Lü Shu's judgment was very clear. The people would definitely be fine, but if the carriage and horses were damaged, the rest of the journey would be a bit difficult.
It had to be known that Lü Shu had been cultivating his sword intent on the carriage every day. Without the carriage, he would have to walk. At that time, not only would it be tiring, but the progress of his cultivation would also be delayed.
Sun Zhongyang wasn't the only one who didn't expect Lü Shu to do this. Even the slaves hiding in the distance didn't expect this …
Someone whispered suspiciously, "Is there anything particularly valuable in that carriage?"
"That's possible, but don't be meddlesome. The employer said that we only need to kill those 12 geniuses. They're already difficult enough to deal with," someone said coldly. "Focus on the mission."
This group of people was very professional, and they had killed countless so-called experts over the years.
The caravan's people kept dying under the arrows, but those who died were the caravan owner's efforts. Sun Zhongyang and the others were fine.
The caravan owner was also in pain. Once his slaves died, the rest of the goods could only be abandoned on the road. However, there was another kind of hope in the caravan owner's heart. The Sun family never mistreated their servants. If his caravan suffered heavy losses because of Sun Zhongyang, the Sun family would definitely compensate him double in the future.
It wasn't that the Sun family was very kind, but everyone understood that this was the only way for more people to be willing to work for them in the future.
The two most important things now were: first, Sun Zhongyang had to live, and second, the caravan owner had to live.
Merchants valued profit more than parting, so the caravan owner didn't feel so sad when he saw his slaves being killed by the arrows. Half of his slaves were still alive, but most of the carriages were probably destroyed.
Just when the caravan owner was feeling complicated, Lü Shu and Lü Xiaoyu came back with the carriages and horses. "Will they attack?"
Lü Shu and Lü Xiaoyu didn't even put the horses and carriages on the ground. Perhaps the caravan owner would say "yes" and the two would leave again …
However, Sun Zhongyang didn't want to just let it go like this. He said coldly, "Rather than waiting for them to come to us, why don't we go and settle this once and for all?"
The caravan owner turned pale with fright. "You're so precious! Don't be stupid and fight them head-on!"
However, Lü Shu originally thought that Sun Zhongyang was arrogant and hot-headed, thinking that he was invincible just because he was a First Grade Ranker. However, when he looked closely at Sun Zhongyang's expression, he found that the young man was calm and didn't show any signs of impulsiveness.
Lü Shu suddenly understood that Sun Zhongyang wasn't being impulsive. He already knew that the enemy was hiding in the dark, while they were in the open. It wasn't a good idea to continue wasting time like this, so it was better to take the initiative while they were at their strongest.
It wouldn't matter if they were weak, but with four First Grade Rankers and eight Second Grade Rankers, no one would dare to look down on them.
Sun Zhongyang took out a crimson sword from his spatial equipment and held it in his hand. "Follow me and kill them. Be careful."
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw Lü Shu put the horses on the ground and rolled up his sleeves, ready to follow them.
Sun Zhongyang was stunned for a long time. "What are you doing?"
"I'm going to protect you," Lü Shu said matter-of-factly. "Don't worry, I'm paid to do things. I'm professional."
"Forget it, you don't need to go. It's too dangerous." Sun Zhongyang shook his head. Although he wanted to disgust Lü Shu and keep him in the team, he didn't really want to drag Lü Shu into it if they were really in danger, so he rejected Lü Shu's request.
Lü Shu felt that since he was paid, he should do things, right? Otherwise, how could his brand stand firm?
At this moment, Mo Xiaoya suddenly asked, "Where's your weapon? Don't you even have a weapon? "
Lü Shu looked around. He could have just found a tree branch, but he felt that Sun Zhongyang and the others must have heard about Wu Weijun using a tree branch to kill enemies, so he couldn't expose something as obvious as a tree branch. In order to protect his image, Lü Shu still thought about it carefully.
Then, Lü Shu looked at the merchant boss. "I saved your life."
Then, he stared at him for a long time.
Negative emotion points from Song Bo, + 666!
The merchant boss wanted to pretend that he didn't hear it at first. He thought that as long as he refused, this young man would give up, but he underestimated Lü Shu.
The merchant boss was speechless. "I don't have any weapons here."
"I saved your life," Lü Shu said calmly, then continued to stare at him.
Negative emotion points from Song Bo, + 666!
However, before the merchant boss could take out his weapon, Sun Zhongyang couldn't wait any longer. By the time Lü Shu got his weapon, he would probably be long gone.
Sun Zhongyang felt that even though he was angry at this young man and even looked down on him, he did get involved in this matter because of him.
Although Sun Zhongyang was a member of the royal city, he would never do something that would implicate the innocent, so he still wanted Lü Shu to stay. Sun Zhongyang said, "You …"
"Okay, I'll stay," Lü Shu said calmly.
Sun Zhongyang: "…"
Negative emotion points from Sun Zhongyang, + 888!
This time, Sun Zhongyang didn't say anything and led the rest of the royal city's members towards the direction where the arrows came from. Meanwhile, Lü Shu sat down and continued to eat his buckwheat noodles. He even looked up at the merchant boss and asked, "Do you have more noodles?"
"Yes, yes, yes." The caravan owner smiled bitterly. This young man was probably one of the weirdest people he had ever met in his life.
Lü Xiaoyu also held his bowl of noodles and asked in a low voice, "Are we really not going to help them?"
Lü Shu ate his noodles as he said, "Of course we'll help them, or else they won't pay us. But the problem is that they definitely have something up their sleeves, so we need to observe the situation first. It's not worth it if we lose our lives instead of earning money."
Before Mo Xiaoya left, her eyes were filled with disdain as she looked at Lü Shu, as if Lü Shu had already become a cowardly and greedy person in her heart.
The battle between the royal city's geniuses and the hired slaves lasted the entire night. Lü Shu cultivated his sword skills in the distance, not moving at all.
