Xia Li's kitchen knife neared the Lao Si once again, and the kitchen knife sliced open the wound on his throat, causing him to gasp in pain, his mouth trembling as he replied.
"It's on the road outside the Tianshui Village. There's no one there … Keep guard. Don't kill me. "
"In a while, my husband will drive us to the town and find Rich Man Yang. He will let your men go back first and finish your little life first before playing any tricks!"
Xia Li threatened Lao Si.
"Alright …" Lao Si was so scared that he didn't dare to say anything.
Xia Li secretly glanced at Sun Chun, only to see him standing by the side with his hands behind his back, staring at Lao Si, not relaxing his guard, his heart full of confidence.
"Help me take him outside the Tianshui Village. I know a shortcut." Xia Li asked for help from Sun Chun.
"Alright." Sun Chun walked to Lao Si's side and untied the rope tied to Lao Si's leg. He smelt a thick stench of stench and took a step back in disgust.
Xia Li took a big step back and covered his nose and mouth with his hands.
"It's more convenient for you to take this when you're out." Sun Chun took out a dagger from her sleeve and placed it in Xia Li's hands, then took the kitchen knife from her hands. She carefully placed it in the corner of the kitchen and abandoned it to no longer use it.
"What an exquisite dagger." Xia Li took out his dagger and looked at the exquisite patterns on it. He praised it and scared Lao Si who was lying on the ground so much that his neck shrunk and his face was filled with fear.
Xia Li held the dagger and waved it a few times in front of him. Lao Si was so scared that he cried and he continuously retreated.
"No!"
Xia Li could not be bothered with the Lao Si, the two of them brought him out. On the way, they covered their faces with their hands and tried to call for someone on the way, but they were all scared out of their wits by the dagger in Xia Li's hands.
In the entire Tianshui Village, every household had their doors closed. Everyone had long been scared away by the group of people from Lao Si and hid in their homes, afraid that their families would suffer.
When they were almost outside of the Tianshui Village, Sun Chun warned Xia Li: "Be careful of this guy's lies. I look at him, go ahead and take a look whether or not there are any carriages in there."
"Alright." Xia Li handed the dagger over to Sun Chun. She walked along the Water God temple at the entrance of the village to the outside of the village.
But Lao Si still lied, all of them stayed by the carriage to cool it down, and chatted, and some of them even gathered to gamble.
Xia Li quietly hid himself and returned to Sun Chun's side. The Lao Si clearly no longer had that fear from before, and his mouth revealed a trace of a smile.
"You all … Let me go! There are my brothers by the carriage, you... Are you scared? "
Sun Chun stood at the side and kicked him. Lao Si immediately kneeled on the ground, unable to say another word.
"So long-winded!" Sun Chun stood at the side and lost all patience.
"Bring him into the carriage, he's the best target, those bags of grass don't dare to hit him casually." Sun Chun reminded Xia Li as he returned the dagger in his hand back to Xia Li.
Xia Li took the dagger, and used the dagger to cut off a small step on his clothes, then tied Lao Si's mouth, making him unable to say a single word.
The two of them dragged Sun Chun to the side of the carriage, immediately causing a commotion amongst the people under the Lao Si. The people who were gambling also stopped, and jumped up, where they surrounded Sun Chun and Xia Li.
"Let go of our fourth brother!"
Someone stepped forward and shouted in a provocative manner.
"If you take a step forward, his little life won't be preserved! All of you, scram to the side! " Xia Li waved the dagger in his hand to wipe the Lao Si's neck, scaring the group of people to the point that they had to retreat. Everyone looked at each other, not a single one of them daring to move forward.
"Howl …" Lao Si's mouth was tied as he glared at his subordinates.
"I will take him to the God of Fortune to personally pay off the gambling debts. You guys lead the way, stop playing tricks on us!"
Xia Li and Sun Chun had already seen through this group of people's cowardice long ago, so they carefully drove the Lao Si onto the carriage, and the group of people kept on retreating.
"I'm going to drive the carriage. Watch him carefully. Dagger, don't leave his hand." Sun Chun whispered into Xia Li's ear.
"Yes." Xia Li nodded his head and pushed Lao Si into the carriage, then used a dagger to press against his neck. Lao Si's face was filled with helplessness, his abdominal pain was tormenting him to the point of death, he shut his eyes and did not speak.
Xia Li was worried that the Lao Si would do something funny, so he held the rope that he prepared and tied it to his legs. Then, he quickly held the dagger in his hand and looked at the, ready to strike at any time.
Sun Chun looked at the movement inside the carriage, seeing that Xia Li was fine, he then rode the carriage without worry.
"Brothers, everyone split up. One group is going to inform the God of Fortune while the other is closely following this carriage. They actually want to die. We have our eyes on them, don't let them escape!"
When Sun Chun took the carriage away, they quickly reacted and commanded the rest of the people to split up.
The boorish men quickly reacted and began to act according to the man's instructions.
Sun Chun closely followed the wild man who had gone to inform the Rich Man Yang, at the same time, he listened to the movements of the surrounding horses, in case he met an ambush, that they would have a way out at any time.
Xia Li leaned on a corner of the carriage, the dagger in his hand tightly pressed against Lao Si's neck, firmly staring at Lao Si, and did not relax for even a moment, to prevent the barbarians outside from attacking at any time.
Right now, she was only two people from Sun Chun. It was extremely dangerous, so they had to be more cautious and calm.
In less than half an incense's time, they had reached the Red River Town.
The townspeople were already familiar with the Golden Escort Office, so they automatically moved to the side, opening up a wide path. Some of them couldn't help but get frightened and knelt down, tightly holding the child in their arms.
When Sun Chun arrived in front of the gambling den, he was attracted by the words "Rising Sun" written on the signboard.
The street where the gambling house was located had long since been sealed by two rows of brutes when he drove the carriage in.
Before Sun Chun could get off the horse carriage, the short Fifth Elder jumped onto the horse carriage and pointed the dagger in his hand at Sun Chun's neck.
"Kid, don't move recklessly!"
Sun Chun secretly looked around at his surroundings, raising his hands, Ren Lao Wu turned his body.
Xia Li heard the movements outside the curtain, and immediately opened the curtain, bringing Lao Si out and staring at Ol 'Five.
"Your men are also in my hands. You'd better behave, and don't act recklessly!"
"You damned girl, how dare you negotiate with me?" The fifth brother did not place Xia Li in his eyes at all, and used his bare hands to prepare to snatch the blade from Xia Li.
What the fifth brother didn't expect was that Sun Chun, who was standing beside him, had actually easily taken the dagger from his hand, and kicked him down to the ground. He didn't have the time to react at all during the entire process.
He clutched his stomach and fell to the ground, groaning in pain.
Sun Chun and Xia Li seized the opportunity to pull Lao Si out of the carriage and brought him to the exit.
"Pa Pa Pa!"
Following a burst of clear and crisp clapping sounds, Rich Man Yang stood at the second floor's window, revealing half of his body and looked down at Xia Li and Sun Chun.
Young man, you have great skills! I was wondering when Xia Li had been so overbearing, to think that you had an expert by your side, I had truly underestimated you!
As Rich Man Yang said that, he glanced at Ol 'Five who was lying on the ground, and his body unconsciously shivered.
"Ol 'Five, why aren't you inviting Xia Li and this skilled young man in?"
"Yes, Master."
Ol 'Five said coldly as he got up from the ground in a sorry state and walked in front of Xia Li and Sun Chun.
"Follow me in!"
"Woo woo!" Lao Si asked Ol 'Five in front of him for help. At this moment, Ol' Five's heart was filled with rage, he glared at Lao Si, and no longer paid any attention to him.
Xia Li had already untied the rope at Lao Si's feet long before he got off the carriage, so she and Sun Chun led him through the hall of the gambling den on the first floor and up to the second floor.
At this moment, the first floor of the bet was empty and completely silent. The entire space was decorated in resplendent splendor and was filled with a luxurious atmosphere. The faint fragrance of roses was in the air, making one feel drowsy.
"Hold your breath, don't smell the fragrance of the flowers in the air."
Sun Chun approached Xia Li, reminding him in a low voice.
"How can I hold my breath? I don't know how to." Xia Li frowned in frustration.
Sun Chun immediately felt powerless. He thought for a moment, then whispered into her ear: "Then pinch your own arm. There's something wrong with the fragrance in this room."
Xia Li nodded her head heavily, pinched her left arm, causing her to take in a breath of cold air from the pain. She regained her senses, leaned closely on Sun Chun, and carefully walked over.
In the private room on the second floor, two women wearing revealing clothes were playing around beside the Rich Man Yang. When they saw Sun Chun, they were stunned and were attracted by his good looks and forgot to joke around.
"Mhmm." The Rich Man Yang snorted in dissatisfaction, and the dumbstruck women immediately reacted. Accompanying her laughter, they poured wine for Rich Man Yang and started thumping her back.
"Xia Li, you have injured two of my trusted aides consecutively. Regarding this matter, how do you plan to give me an explanation?"
The Rich Man Yang sat on the seat of honor and attacked Xia Li.
"Everyone is sparring. Injuries are unavoidable. I think the God of Fortune isn't such a petty person."
Xia Li innocently blinked his eyes and asked Rich Man Yang.
Rich Man Yang was so angry that he choked on his tea, he bent his back and coughed severely, but the two girls beside him were so frightened that their faces had lost color, and immediately helped him to take a breather.
Xia Li curled his lips, he did not expect these words to be so powerful, he pursed his lips, trying his best not to smile.
Everyone in the gambling house all looked at Xia Li, all of them had evil smiles on their faces. To dare provoke Rich Man Yang, this damned girl must have had enough of living.
Sun Chun remained calm and collected as he observed the movements of the people around him. He held Xia Li's hand and protected her beside him.
Feeling the warmth coming from his palm, Xia Li's heart felt slightly warm. She took a glance at Sun Chun, whose entire body was in a state of vigilance, and retracted her joking mood, as she pondered on how she could deal with the Rich Man Yang's difficult situation.
