The next day, Xue Ying did not wake up the First Phoenix as early as usual.
In fact, she was almost like the First Phoenix yesterday. She practiced until very late before going to bed.
If she didn't have such a hardworking spirit, she would have long become someone else's achievement on Liberty Island, where dead people were as common as drinking water. She wouldn't have been able to run out alive with her young master.
On Carefree Island, it was useless to rely on others. He could only rely on himself, including his second grandfather, who was the First Phoenix of the Island Master of Carefree Island.
There were no exceptions.
She didn't disturb her young master's rest, but Xue Ying woke up early.
He followed Old Yellow, who had strolled to the stable early in the morning, downstairs for breakfast. Then, he went back to his room and quietly waited for the First Phoenix to wake up. Yes, Da Feng had three meals a day, the country was powerful and had a lot of money and food.}
Not long after Xue Ying returned to her room, First Phoenix slowly woke up. The first thing she felt when she opened her eyes was hunger.
She sat up and called out to the next room. After Xue Ying heard the sound, she went to the First Phoenix's room and prepared the washing tools for her son.
After a quick wash, he swept away the food that Xue Ying had brought over and prepared to set off north.
When she finished dressing up and went downstairs to pass by the counter, First Phoenix saw the lady boss resting her chin on her hand in boredom. She didn't know what she was thinking, so she smiled and went forward to greet her.
When the lady boss heard that the young man was leaving, she was slightly stunned. Then, she reminded him to pay attention to his safety. She quickly calculated the accommodation fee and watched the three of them leave.
After the three of them left, he continued to hold his chin and stare blankly. When guests arrived, he would put on a smile and stand up to entertain them with a few words of laughter. After that, he would be more or less the same.
The Great Feng Dynasty had convenient transportation, and the official roads extended in all directions. Although there was no war now, they had always maintained the tradition of a relay station every 30 miles.
Generally, as long as the direction was good, they would be able to reach their destination.
First Phoenix and the other two headed north along the official road, heading to the Jing River ferry, ready to cross the river by boat.
The Jing River was a tributary of the second largest river in the Great Feng Dynasty, the Heaven Luo River. It flowed through half of the Jian Province and nurtured countless people.
The First Phoenix had specially requested Old Yellow to speed up, hoping to reach the ferry before dark. Old Yellow waved his whip unwillingly and looked at Little Red, who was running desperately with small steps, with a distressed expression.
" If I had known earlier, I wouldn't have brought Little Red to fetch Young Master. It's too f * cking torturing for the horse. Why did I have to specially run to Little Master and take the initiative to request to fetch this little bastard? And I only brought Little Red…"
Old Yellow's face was full of resentment as he grumbled in his heart,""Damn, at that time, Little Master actually agreed. It's really f * cking strange!”
Now that he thought of Little Old Master's straightforward agreement and the smile on his face, Old Huang couldn't help but feel a little annoyed.
At that time, he could not figure out the meaning behind it. How could he not know now?
"I've seen the temper of that little bastard, First Feng, a long time ago. How could I not know? It was clearly a playful look, waiting to watch a good show.”
Thinking of this, Old Yellow wanted to slap himself.
It was a mistake, a huge mistake.
Old Yellow was extremely depressed. Even the way he looked at Little Red was mixed with a trace of sympathy."Old buddy, I've implicated you this time. You've fallen for the little bastard's father, that big bastard's trick.”
Old Yellow sighed and looked at the gray sky, speechless…
"Faster!"
Hearing the calm voice behind him, Old Yellow couldn't help but tremble. He felt that the young man's voice was no longer as pleasant to the ear as before.
"This is clearly a series of death-seeking bells.”Old Huang felt even more regretful.
He slowly raised his arm that was holding the horsewhip, feeling as if a huge mountain was pressing down on his shoulder. After a long time, he gently waved his sleeves, and the heavy pressure disappeared.
" Moving mountains and filling the sea with a wave of my hand is about the same." Old Yellow shook his head and smiled bitterly.
The First Phoenix nodded in satisfaction when it felt that the speed had increased again.
This old man wasn't honest. He wouldn't obediently do as he was told without some pressure. Under his seemingly honest appearance, there was actually a lazy and slippery heart.
That was what First Phoenix thought, and she agreed with it.
When people got old, it was easy to become lazy, especially for old foxes like Old Huang. He was a good example. If he could spend 30% of his energy on something, he would not spend a single cent more.
Thrifty was the traditional virtue of Dafeng. Every penny saved was worth it.
First Phoenix thought that Old Yellow was thinking this way, so he did it. As for the result, he was very satisfied and smiled happily.
The further away they were from the bustling Guanghan County City, the fewer pedestrians there were on the road. This could be seen from the sparse and scattered villages.
The three of them did not stop once, except for a short rest when they gave the horses the necessary water.
Even lunch was taken care of in the carriage. The three of them were not pampered people and did not mind this arrangement at all.
Noon had long passed. Lao Huang looked up at the sun hanging in the sky. He gently took a bite of the cooked food he had just bought from the roadside wine shop and took a sip of yellow wine. His face was full of comfort.
Looking at him, it seemed that the regret and annoyance in his heart had long been thrown out of the clouds and forgotten completely.
Old Yellow carefully tasted the wine and picked up the wine pot. Just as he was about to bring it to his mouth, he suddenly suspended his hand in the air and gently put the wine pot down. He narrowed his eyes and looked ahead.
The First Phoenix, who was inside the carriage, also lifted the curtain and looked at the dusty official road in the distance. A hint of excitement appeared in her narrow eyes.
"Good heavens, I finally encountered something wonderful. It wasn't easy!”
The sound of horse hooves could be heard from afar. The First Phoenix ordered Old Yellow to stop the carriage by the roadside and got off to stand next to Xue Ying.
After that, he stood a little further away from Xue Ying before turning his gaze to the dozens of cavalry that were approaching.
Sigh, he had no choice. He was only thirteen years old and could only reach between Xue Ying's eyebrows. Xue Ying was at the age where her body was about to burst. Standing with her made him feel awkward and uncomfortable.
First Phoenix was very depressed. She remembered that Xue Ying was not as tall as her in the past. Why was she suddenly so much taller than herself?!
Dozens of riders quickly arrived in front of the three. The people in front were covered in blood and were all injured.
There was even a middle-aged man in gray who had lost his entire arm. He was bleeding non-stop, and his body was swaying as the horse ran.
Behind them, a group of people dressed like bandits followed closely. They were murderous and ferocious.
The First Phoenix seemed to be in the mood to banter with Old Yellow.
"Old Huang, your carriage speed is really slow. Look at these bandits. In just a few moments, they've reached us. This gap, tsk tsk, I can't bear to look at it.”
The First Phoenix had a look of disappointment on her face. In this murderous scene, she looked extremely out of place.
Old Huang was speechless for a moment. He turned his head and reminded the young man," Cough, cough. Young Master, pay attention to the occasion…"
As soon as Old Yellow finished speaking, a few hurried and short sounds of bowstrings were heard.
At the same time, one of the riders who was being chased suddenly screamed and fell off his horse, with several arrows stuck in his back.
Several people who were running for their lives in front heard their companions 'screams. They did not have time to be sad. They waved their whips even harder and whizzed past the eyes of First Phoenix and the other two.
A rider who looked like a bandit leader suddenly raised his arm and waved in the direction of the person who had just been shot by the arrow. The two riders immediately charged out of the group and slowed down to run towards the unlucky person who had just been shot by the arrow.
The remaining dozens of cavalry did not change their direction and chased after the fleeing people.
Dust flew into the air. The First Phoenix covered her mouth and nose with her sleeves. She cursed those guys in her heart for not being able to catch the few people who had escaped. If they failed to complete their mission, they would be taught a lesson when they returned. It would be best if they could lie in bed for a few months...
The two people who stopped searching the corpses searched the corpses for a while, but they clearly found nothing. They did not find what they wanted, only some silver.
The two of them looked disappointed. They were a little envious of the brothers who had chased after them just now. They had missed the credit that was about to be theirs.
The two of them were very regretful and resentful. Then, they fiercely glanced at the corpse under their feet and complained about this small fry who did not bring the mission target.
He wished he could kill him alive and then kill him again and again to vent his anger.
The First Phoenix, who had seen everything, could not help but tremble.
She couldn't help but have goosebumps.
" Damn it, it's too scary. They won't even let a dead person go. After touching the top and bottom, they flipped over and touched him again. But from their expressions, it's obvious that they still haven't had enough of touching him. They're basically hoping that he can come back to life so that they can touch him again to satisfy their craving.”The First Phoenix's face turned cold and she gasped.
"Damn it, the credit that I got just flew away like that.”
One of the short and thin middle-aged men complained to his companion angrily.
"Isn't that so? I've really suffered a huge loss. This time, I've really made a wasted trip.”
Another muscular man cursed.
"Are we just going to let it go and watch Sixth Wang and the others show off in front of us?”
The short and thin man was obviously unwilling to give up. He glared coldly and the scar on his face looked extremely ferocious and terrifying.
"Then what should we do? Who asked us to be so unlucky to meet a poor guy…"
The muscular man was obviously unwilling to give up, and his tone was very helpless.
" No, I get angry when I think of Sixth Wang's face…Damn it…"
The short man pulled out his saber and slashed at the void. His resentment soared to the sky, making the First Phoenix feel even more disgusted.
"I can't take this lying down…Sigh, forget it, just pretend that Sixth Wang and the others don't exist.”The muscular man exhaled and comforted his companion softly.
The short man held a knife in one hand. The knife was stained with blood. Coupled with the ferocious scar on his face, it was really terrifying.
The First Phoenix reckoned that if he were to walk around the city, he would definitely be caught by the city patrolmen and brought to the small black room to be cleaned up.
The short man's face was filled with killing intent. Suddenly, he saw the young man beside him staring at him with a strange expression.
He glanced at the other two. The young girl's expression was very calm, as if she had been scared silly by the scene in front of her. The old man's expression was not calm, but why did he have an expression of shame and anger?
Shouldn't he be like that girl, terrified beyond words and then stand there in a daze, not daring to move, afraid that the saber in his hand would casually end her life?
Seeing the old man and the two children's different expressions, the short and thin scar-faced man became even angrier.
"I didn't have the time to clean up your mess. Instead of running away, you actually dared to stay at the side and watch the show. Do you really think that the saber in my hand is weak?”
He was worried that the anger in his heart would not be appeased. He did not want to deal with these ordinary people on the roadside because it was too embarrassing. He was afraid that if word got out, he would be laughed at.
One had to know that he was a Level Eight expert. If others knew that he had slaughtered those ordinary people who were powerless, they would definitely despise him to death.
As for saying that the three of them were not ordinary people and that they were super experts who could not sense the flow of genuine Qi in their bodies because his martial arts realm was too low, he did not believe it at all.
It was really hilarious. Look at the horse in front of their carriage. It was so old. It was an insult to describe it as thin and weak, but it was still reluctant to throw it away. Tsk tsk, have you seen a super expert riding such a horse?
"However, it is one thing for me to ignore you, but it is another thing for you to ignore me, an expert who could kill you at any time.”
The short and thin man's mouth twitched as he roared in his heart," They were actually ignored, and they were even two f * cking lowlifes who didn't know any martial arts!
After feeling that the gaze of being ignored was getting more and more intense, the scar-faced man finally couldn't hold it in anymore. He raised his saber and slowly walked forward. His eyes were red, cold, and ferocious.
He stopped in front of the First Phoenix and glared at her.
The First Phoenix could even see the blood vessels in his eyes.
