Sun Zhongyang and the rest of the injured finally had a carriage to ride in, even though there was a huge hole in the back of the carriage, and even though they had paid half a million godnotes for it, it was still good enough to shelter them from the wind and rain.
But it was good enough to shelter them from the wind and rain. On the night that Lv Shu seized the carriage, it started raining heavily. Mo Xiaoya was a little relieved.
The carriage could barely fit five people, so Sun Zhongyang and the rest gave the five girls the chance to ride in the carriage.
Without comparison, they wouldn't know who was good and who was bad. So when Mo Xiaoya and the rest looked at Lü Shu after seeing Sun Zhongyang's demeanor, they felt that Lü Shu and Sun Zhongyang were worlds apart.
Sun Zhongyang and the rest were very familiar with each other. They'd known each other for more than twenty years, so they were used to being nice to each other. As a result, Sun Zhongyang's kindness was gradually ignored, and it was difficult for them to develop any romantic feelings.
But on this night, some of the girls suddenly felt that Sun Zhongyang was really nice, and even found that innocent feeling of joy …
Lü Shu looked at them happily, not caring what they thought. In fact, he even felt that if any of them became a couple, they'd have to thank him …
But even though they'd avoided an assassination, Lü Shu still wasn't at ease. The person who'd come this time was obviously just to test the waters, and the assassination that followed after the great slave was destroyed confirmed Lü Shu's suspicions: the enemy had more than one trick up their sleeves.
Sun Zhongyang and the rest did their best to recover their strength, but the problem was that their injuries weren't light, and it would take them at least three days to recover.
So these three days were the most dangerous period for the entire caravan.
For some reason, Mo Xiaoya felt that Lü Shu didn't have any sense of danger, and that he was still cultivating his swordsmanship without a care in the world.
At lunch the next day, Mo Xiaoya suddenly said, "Aren't you worried at all? Since we're escorting you as part of the deal, you can't just leave whenever you want. If you go back on your word at this time, then our twelve families will definitely chase you to the ends of the earth. "
Lü Shu raised his eyebrows. "It's not like I'm going to protect you guys. Don't make such a big deal out of me."
Mo Xiaoya thought to herself, Usually, if this young man was a little more reliable, she wouldn't be this worried, and she wouldn't use her petty heart to guess at him.
She actually wanted to use words to test if Lü Shu was someone from the back mountain of Jianlu. However, as soon as she tested him, Lü Shu asked her if there was a back mountain in Jianlu?
When the disciples of the royal city conversed privately, Mo Xiaoya said, "I don't think he's from the back mountain of Jianlu. I really can't imagine that Jianlu people would be so greedy. Have you ever seen such a greedy disciple of Jianlu? Jianlu doesn't lack money!"
Although Jianlu didn't have any businesses and businesses, and even if it was expensive to take in disciples of Jianlu every year, the problem was that they only took in four people a year. Even so, Sun Zhongyang and the rest didn't dare to underestimate Jianlu's power.
On one hand, 20% of the income from taxes in the royal city went to Jianlu, and 80% to the Divine King. On the other hand, the yearly offerings from Jianlu disciples scattered all over Lü Zhou was an astronomical figure.
Someone in the royal city once said that Jianlu was one of the rare places in this world that didn't need to worry about money but never lacked it.
So, no matter how they thought about it, in a place that didn't lack money … how could there suddenly be a money-grubber!
"Is it possible that the training in the back mountain of Jianlu doesn't pay, and they rely on themselves to survive?" someone asked doubtfully.
"Don't find excuses for him," Mo Xiaoya said sternly. "He's just poor."
"Now is not the time to think about this." Sun Zhongyang suddenly said, "Xiaoya, when will your master arrive?"
"Calculating the distance, I'm afraid it'll take two days to fly here from the royal city," Mo Xiaoya said. "Now it depends on how we survive these two days."
"I don't know if that young man can handle it." Sun Zhongyang sighed. "I'm afraid he can't. No matter how powerful he is, he's only a second-rank. He can't be a match for a first-rank."
Sun Zhongyang had high hopes for Lü Shu now because he guessed that Lü Shu's identity was related to Jianlu. But if they sent a first-rank master to kill them, it would be difficult.
Now, they could only hope that the other party didn't dare to send a first-rank master from their own family, or that they couldn't find the hidden first-rank masters.
The first-rank masters of each family had their own names, and the slightest movement would be noticed by the other families. After all, they were all on guard against each other. If anyone was found to be attacking the younger generation of the other family, the two families would completely fall out and fight to the death.
The nobles in the royal city always liked to hide everything in the dark. Just like the sea, no matter how turbulent the waves were, the surface of the sea was always calm.
Everyone was used to giving themselves some leeway.
At this moment, the boss suddenly said, "I think the possibility of him being a descendant of Jianlu is higher."
"Oh? What do you mean? "Sun Zhongyang asked curiously.
Song Bo told them about the mysterious death of the assassin last night. "I suspect that there's a master protecting them in the dark, and there might even be more than one. That's why I don't think we're in as much danger as we thought. Didn't you notice? That young man is very calm, so calm that it's abnormal!"
Sun Zhongyang thought for a moment. "It seems that he has a reason to take the money. But we didn't notice anyone protecting them in the dark. Could it be that the other party is stronger than us, so we won't be discovered?"
"That's possible," Song Bo said.
They were discussing in the shadows beside the carriage when Sun Zhongyang suddenly froze. "Wait, where's Lü Shu?"
They looked around but really didn't see Lü Shu. Wasn't he by the campfire just now?
Then, a voice came from above. "Here, here."
Sun Zhongyang and the others looked up and almost had a heart attack when they saw Lü Shu on the roof of the carriage. They were all heavily injured, and they didn't even notice someone approaching them!
Lv Shu sat on the roof of the carriage and looked at them with a smile. To be honest, when Sun Zhongyang asked Lv where they were going, he almost didn't react. He didn't even realize that Sun Zhongyang was calling him.
"Why are you on the carriage?" Mo Xiaoya's face darkened. She wanted to accuse Lü Shu of eavesdropping on them, but she thought about how they still had to rely on Lü Shu for protection these two days, so she didn't say it so harshly.
Lü Shu smiled. "I was eavesdropping."
Mo Xiaoya's face darkened even more. How could he be so rational when eavesdropping? And when everyone looked up again, Lü Xiaoyu and Xu Mujun were also sitting cross-legged on the roof …
Sun Zhongyang suddenly felt his heart ache. Why did he feel that a good girl like Xu Mujun was also influenced by Lü Shu?
