Chapter 157: The Best Couple
Chapter 157: The Best Couple
Shopkeeper Bai has made a move!
He rushed towards Temujin, waving a long sword.
Perhaps this was a sudden change for others, but for Temujin, Mu Zheng and others, it was expected.
They had long noticed that something was wrong with Shopkeeper Bai.
The deliberate quarrel and apology were all acts.
Seeing the round knife coming, Temujin dodged the blow with a swift movement. However, Shopkeeper Bai did not give up. He continued to swing his long knife wildly, his attack becoming more and more fierce, and he kept shouting, "Humph, if you don't leave your things today, we will take your life!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the merchants who had been watching the show suddenly drew out their hidden weapons.
Fortunately, Mu Zheng and the others had been prepared, and no one was injured. But because of this, the people on Temujin's side were dispersed, and more assassinations were directed towards Temujin.
Seeing this, Mu Zheng's eyes flashed with determination. He rushed forward and blocked Temujin. He moved like lightning, skillfully avoiding the enemy's attacks, and at the same time, finding the right time, his punches fell on the besiegers like a torrential rain.
Each punch contained full power, making those people retreat and scream in pain.
Li Lian was not willing to be outdone. He jumped into the crowd lightly, and a slender soft sword appeared in his hand.
The soft sword in his hand was like a spirit snake, nimbly weaving between the enemy's weapons. Sometimes he stabbed, sometimes he thrust, each time accurately piercing the enemy's vital points, yet he could also skillfully avoid the enemy's counterattacks, repelling those who tried to approach Temujin one by one.
Temujin looked at Mu Zheng and Li Lian fighting for him, and was surprised. He had doubted Qingcao's eyes before, but now it seemed that Qingcao was right. Mu Zheng was indeed a master.
Temujin sneered as he watched the assassins continue to surge toward him. Raised on horseback, he had developed extraordinary martial arts skills. Wielding his scimitar, he coordinated with Mu Zheng and Li Lian to form a solid defensive line, leaving the besiegers helpless.
The battle intensified, with tables and chairs overturned and luggage scattered throughout the inn. As time passed, the besiegers gradually lost strength and began to panic. They had originally thought that their sheer numbers would easily defeat Temujin, but they had not expected to encounter such stubborn resistance. Seeing the situation was dire, Shopkeeper Bai grew increasingly anxious, brandishing his long sword in a final struggle.
"Hmph, don't even think about running away! You will all die here today!" Shopkeeper Bai shouted at the top of his lungs.
However, before he finished speaking, Mu Zheng saw the opportunity, leaped up, and kicked Shopkeeper Bai hard on the wrist.
The long knife in Shopkeeper Bai's hand flew out instantly. Before he could react, Mu Zheng followed up with another punch, hitting him in the face.
Shopkeeper Bai screamed, fell backwards, and landed heavily on the ground.
With the fall of Shopkeeper Bai, the besiegers who had been holding out desperately lost their resolve, abandoning their weapons and armor and fleeing in all directions. Within a moment, the shouting and screaming within the post station gradually subsided, leaving only the devastation and the slightly rapid breathing of a few people.
“Stop chasing me!”
Lao Tie shouted loudly.
Hearing Lao Tie's words of dissuasion, Mu Zheng and Li Lian did not move forward. Instead, Shangpin Shilu asked, "We have the upper hand now, why don't we take this opportunity to kill them all?"
Lao Tie smiled and said, "The purpose of our trip is to return to the royal city safely and ensure that everything is safe. If they run away, they run away. What if we chase them and find a trap? Besides, there are still many people who want to attack us. We, the Timur family, will settle these accounts with them in the future."
Hearing this, Mu Zheng and Li Lian looked at each other, not quite understanding their old friend's decision.
"Boy, your martial arts are quite good." Lao Tie said and praised Mu Zheng and the others. Mu Zheng and the others also smiled and complimented each other, "No, we just saw it. Brother Tie wielded the sword with great power. We didn't dare to get close."
"Hey, brothers, you're joking. The young are really promising." Not only the old friends, but even the wrought iron and pig iron came over and praised Mu Zheng and the other guy.
Several people were talking and laughing, but the Shangpin Shilu couple next to them showed a trace of fear in their eyes and glanced at each other secretly.
The team sets off.
After the previous battle, Mu Zheng and the three brothers of the Tie family became familiar with each other, and everyone became happier and happier as they talked.
On the other side, Qingcao was also whispering to Temujin.
"Where did you find those two people from?" Qingcao asked the Shangpin Shiliu couple.
"Them?" Temujin paused for a moment and said, "They were invited by Laotie and his friends. I heard they met during a trip to China. What's wrong? Is there something wrong with them?"
Qingcao shook her head. "I'm not sure. But I've been in Tuwei City for so long, so I know a little bit. In the city, there is also a family named Shangpin, a small family, but they are vassals of the four generals' mansions."
"Oh?" Temujin was surprised. "Do you suspect they are from the Four Generals' Mansion?"
"This possibility cannot be ruled out, but since you said that it was Laotie and the others who found the person, I think there may be no problem." Qingcao said.
Upon hearing this, Temujin frowned!
It would be fine if the Shangpin couple were not from the Four Generals' Mansions, but if they were, it would be difficult.
If something happens and they get stabbed in the back, they won't even have anywhere to cry.
Seeing Temujin's anxious expression, Qingcao thought for a moment and said, "I'll tell Mu Zheng and the others about this and ask them to be on guard. They can also help keep an eye on us."
Speaking of me, Qingcao thought for a moment and added, "Don't worry, Mu Zheng and Li Lian are definitely not from the Four Generals' Mansion."
Temujin smiled slightly, "I hope so."
