Chapter 2010 I don’t accept useless people
As soon as he walked out of the yard, Su Shengsheng saw the silver ingot standing under the tree and stopped in his tracks.
She walked around the silver ingot half a circle, her eyes wide open, and she kept muttering to herself: This person is round like a glutinous rice dumpling, and his eyes are small and bright, like two black beans.
With such a fat body, it must be difficult for him to walk, right? His physical skills must be poor, no wonder he was arrested.
She had felt ashamed before, because the elite soldiers selected by her father were not even a little bit better than those in the royal palace.
Seeing that there was such a "little idiot" under the prince's command, he felt a lot more balanced.
She couldn't help but start a conversation: "What's your name?"
Yin Ding felt a little uncomfortable being stared at by her. He took a half step back and said with a bow, "My name is Little Silver Man. Who are you?"
"My name is Su Shengsheng," Su Shengsheng puffed out his chest and deliberately raised his voice, "You must follow closely when we rescue people later, and don't fall behind."
Yinding was about to retort, but seeing her arrogance, he held back and said nothing.
He turned his face away, his eyes rolled around, and when he looked back at Su Shengsheng, his face flushed a little, and he whispered, "I... I know, I won't hold you back."
Yan Ruyu had already taken a few steps forward and looked back - this drama queen.
But it’s okay. There are so many people on the island and they all have eyes for you. You can’t show your true face no matter what you do.
"gone."
Su Shengsheng stuck out his tongue and hurried to catch up. When passing by Yinding, he couldn't help but reach out and poke his arm. The touch was soft and he couldn't help laughing out loud.
Yinding froze in place, touching the spot where he was poked, his eyes full of confusion. As he hurried to catch up with the team, he secretly glanced at Su Shengsheng's back and muttered softly, "This girl is so lively."
Mu Wan walked beside Yan Ruyu, his fingers tightly grasping the corner of her clothes, but his eyes occasionally swept towards the surrounding trees, trying to recall the route he took when he was captured.
Yan Ruyu noticed her nervousness and slowed down her pace. "Don't worry, think carefully. Are there any special signs? For example, a particularly thick tree or a different kind of stone."
"There is... there is a crooked tree with branches that look like hooks."
Mu Wan suddenly spoke up, "It was just outside the yard where we were imprisoned. When I took off the blindfold, I saw the tree."
Yinding immediately responded, "I know that tree! I think I've seen it before!"
Yan Ruyu turned to look at the silver ingot: "Then come to the front."
Yinding walked forward briskly, and the sunlight shone through the leaves onto him.
No one spoke along the way, only the swaying shadows of trees and the rustling of leaves.
Huo Changhe leaned against the side of the boat, his dark brocade robe lifted by the sea breeze and stuck to his calves.
His fingertips carelessly stroked the jade buckle on his waist, and his eyes swept over Zhou Lie.
The sunlight slanted across his profile, carving his jawline into a hard, cold iron look.
The sand at Zhou Lie's feet was blown across his shoes by the wind. He didn't need to look back to know that none of the people following him could be a match for the people in front of him.
But... we can't just give up like this.
"Let us commit suicide?" Zhou Lie deliberately raised his voice, trying to drown out the sound of the waves crashing on the shore. "You are so arrogant, why don't you tell us your name? When Master Jiu asks about it later, we can die with a clear conscience."
Huo Changhe sneered and raised his chin.
"My name," he paused, his eyes as cold as ice, "you are not qualified to know it."
Zhou Lie's Adam's apple rolled, and before he could think of what to say, he saw Huo Changhe wave his hand, and twenty or thirty people on the boat next to him jumped out of the side.
The moment their toes touched the shallows, the long swords at their waists were already unsheathed.
The cold light reflected from the blade made people dizzy. Before Zhou Lie could see the moves clearly, he heard screams from the side.
The blood splashed on the rocks, the red was glaring.
Zhou Lie's heart was beating very fast, and he widened his eyes. The arc of these people's arms when they drew their swords was clearly a technique they had learned in the army.
Cold sweat trickled down his temples as he shouted, "So you're the city guards! You're Su Zhenhai's men!"
"What a jerk Su Zhenhai!" Zhou Lie's chest heaved with rage. "He dared to attack our Ninth Master's men. Isn't he afraid that the Ninth Master will dismantle his city defense camp?"
Before he finished speaking, a black shadow, like lightning, suddenly jumped out from beside Huo Changhe.
Zhou Lie only felt a flash before his eyes, and Zhao Liu beside him fell straight down, with the long sword stuck in his chest still trembling slightly.
The astonishment on Zhao Liu's face had not yet faded, and blood foam was already oozing out from the corners of his mouth.
Zhou Lie's words were stuck in his throat, and he tasted a hint of rust on his tongue.
He stared at the man in black holding a sword - this man was clearly standing in the most inconspicuous position behind Huo Changhe, how could he be so fast?
He had seen the best fighters in the city defense army, but none of them had such ghostly and fast skills.
No, that's not right! Su Zhenhai doesn't have such great ability, and he doesn't have such people under his command!
He looked up at Huo Changhe on the deck, his eyes bloodshot.
"Who are you?" Zhou Lie's voice came out from his chest with an imperceptible tremor.
Huo Changhe walked to the edge of the deck and looked down at the devastated scene on the island. His men were still reaping lives, and screams were heard one after another.
"What's the hurry?" Huo Changhe's voice drifted over the sea breeze, with a hint of mockery, "You'll know when you die."
"Master Jiu will not let you go!" Zhou Lie roared and pounced, slashing with his knife at the nearest man in black.
The man in black dodged to the side and slashed his arm with a knife. The pain was so severe that he almost couldn't hold the knife.
"Master Jiu?" Huo Changhe chuckled as if he had heard something funny. "Are you talking about Liu Jiulang from the Liu family? In my eyes, he's worse than an ant."
Zhou Lie paused.
No one in Rongzhou dares to mess with the Liu brothers' reputation, so how dare this person say this to him?
Could it be that these people were really sent by some big shot?
Huo Changhe raised his hand.
The man in black immediately put away his sword and retreated behind him.
The other attackers also stopped and stood where they were, looking at the corpses scattered all over the ground and the few survivors who were paralyzed with fear.
Zhou Lie's legs went weak and he almost fell to his knees.
Facing the corpses scattered all over the ground, he also had a glimmer of hope for survival, and his voice softened: "It is we who have failed to recognize the great man. Please have mercy... We are willing to surrender and will go through fire and water in the future..."
"Submit?" Huo Changhe raised his eyebrows, his eyes becoming even colder. "Liu Laojiu's dog is worthy of submitting to me?"
The man in black suddenly stepped forward, his sword pointing directly at Zhou Lie's throat.
The tip of the sword was only an inch away from his skin, and the cold breath made Zhou Lie stiff all over.
The black-clad man's eyes were expressionless, and Fang ignored his plea for mercy.
"Give us a chance!" Zhou Lie's voice trembled violently.
Huo Changhe's eyes moved, and he seemed to finally be interested in what he said.
"Then tell me, what can you do for me?"
"I don't accept useless people."
