Chapter 769 It’s a Pinch

Qingjiang River is the longest river in the Holy Dynasty, running through the entire country from west to east.

The imperial city of the Holy Dynasty was located on the edge of the Qingjiang River and was called Jindu.

The governor of Qingjiang that Wu Chong took office was naturally not in Jindu, but it was not far from Jindu. This place is the territory of the royal family. Although the four major families have strongholds here, they do not occupy absolute control.

Wu Chong sat in the carriage with his legs crossed and his eyes closed, and he was in trance like a Taoist.

The carriage set off two days ago, and Wu Chong finally decided to serve as the governor. After receiving the transfer order, he set out the next day. Dai Yong and several other close guards also followed him to take up their posts.

"Sir, we are not far from Jianghuai City. The local officials have prepared wine and food and are waiting for you on the roadside."

Passing by the inn, someone served food as soon as I stopped.

The person who delivered the food only brought this sentence.

Wu Chong was as motionless as an old monk on the carriage. When the guard Dai Yong saw this scene, he immediately stepped forward and drove away those who came to get close to him in advance.

"Uncle, don't you want to eat something?"

No one ate the delicacies at the inn. As the bodyguards sent by the Ling family, each of them was an elite. Naturally, they would not eat food given by strangers. They stopped one by one on the roadside to eat dry food. Dai Yong saw Wu Chong still sitting in the carriage and stepped forward to ask.

He used to call Wu Chong uncle, because he grew up with Ling Zhujun. In his understanding, Wu Chong achieved his current achievements because of his young lady. Otherwise, a poor boy with no background would not be able to pass the imperial examination. Now, I don’t know where I will be assigned. Maybe I am still waiting for my turn.

"Need not."

Wu Chong didn't make any move in the carriage, but the sound came out.

When Dai Yong heard this, he didn't ask any more questions.

They all do physical work, so naturally they need to eat and drink well, otherwise they won't even have the strength to protect others, and it will be in vain.

After resting, the group continued on the road.

Near dusk, the carriage entered a valley, which was the only way to take office in Jianghuai City.

Wow.

Not long after the carriage left, a flock of birds suddenly appeared in the woods at the intersection ahead.

"parking!"

Dai Yong, who was in charge of safety, immediately sensed the danger. The other guards quickly took out their weapons, surrounded the carriage, and looked outside warily.

Whoosh!

A bow and arrow passed through the thorn bushes and reached the carriage.

"So brave!!"

Dai Yong was the first to react and grabbed the flying arrow. Under the strong force, the tail of the arrow was still trembling. If this arrow had been shot accurately, it would have been able to penetrate the carriage just now and hit the people inside.

Dai Yong's machete, who grabbed the arrow, dodged and jumped towards the direction of the arrow.

The deterrent effect of this strong bow is too strong and must be dealt with immediately.

Puff puff.

As soon as Dai Yong left, strong bows fired from several directions again.

The remaining guards all took out their weapons and knocked away the arrows. The guards who can be sent out by Lord Lingzhu are basically not mediocre. After blocking a round of attacks, they quickly launched a counterattack. The group of people had a clear division of labor, including defensive ones and offensive ones. The two people in the middle jumped onto the carriage and prepared to protect Wu Chong.

At this moment, another arrow flew out.

This arrow is different from all the previous arrows. It is silver-white and emits a shrill whistle as it flies.

"Silver Whistle Arrow, sir, be careful!"

The faces of the two guards changed dramatically, and one of them quickly raised his sword to block, but it was already too late. The long arrow forcibly broke through the steel knife's block, leaving a gap as big as a meter wide on the blade. The arrow's body penetrated the wooden planks of the carriage unabated, and shot all the people inside.

Judging from the silhouette, the throat has been penetrated.

Bang! !

The carriage exploded, and for a moment everyone in the field stopped and looked at the carriage.

'Master Wu', who was sitting in the middle of the carriage meditating with his eyes closed, had his throat penetrated by a silver whistle arrow from front to back, and it seemed that he would not survive.

"grown ups!"

"Uncle?!"

Dai Yong and the guards all made angry sounds.

They had made a promise to the lady before they set off, but they were killed before they even reached the land. This left them wondering what to do when they returned.

Before they could react, the body of the dead 'Master Wu' swelled up, and dark ink dripped from the wound pierced by the arrow. The next moment, Wu Chong's body in the middle of the carriage exploded, and dense ink droplets scattered like pear blossoms in a rainstorm.

In an instant, everyone in the forest was covered.

The bodyguards stained with ink were unscathed, but the people who attacked by surprise were in dire straits. After the ink fell on them, it seemed to become highly poisonous, and purple poisonous smoke came out. The corrosive force made a "sizzling" sound, and they all screamed and covered their faces and rolled out of the grass. After a while, he was burned into a pool of blood, and the one who died was called a clean one.

"How can it be such a big deal if people are so anxious before they even get to the place?"

Next to the exploded carriage, the yawning Master Wu walked out.

From the moment he left the Ling family's residence, the 'Master Wu' sitting on the carriage was no longer a real person. His painting skills have advanced further and he can now draw his own puppets. Wu Chong, who had skills in human skin magic, immediately put this ability into practice.

"Alive again?"

Dai Yong and the guards were filled with shock. Wu Chong's move was too shocking for them.

Wu Chong ignored the surprise of the group of people and appeared behind a boulder in a flash. The person who was hiding behind and watching was grabbed by his neck and carried out before he could react.

"A member of the Seven Emotions Society? Or some other cockroaches and mice."

Wu Chong pinched the other person's neck and yawned sleepily.

The middle-aged scribe who was carried in his hand finally reacted and looked at Wu Chong in front of him in shock, as if he had seen a ghost.

Didn’t the news say that he was an ordinary scholar?

Who gave the news!

Dai Yong over there also recovered from the shock. His eyes fell on the middle-aged scribe who was captured by Wu Chong, and his pupils shrank sharply at a glance.

The middle-aged scribe bears the mark of the royal family!

"Forget it, you don't know anything from the look of a loser like you."

Seeing the middle-aged scribe's expression, the impatient Master Wu twisted it with one hand.

Click!

Before he could speak, the middle-aged scribe felt a pain in his neck, and then the scene in front of him went black.

died.

Just like a gangster, I didn't even have time to say his name.

"Keep someone under my command! Uncle, this person is"

Dai Yong, who had not yet finished speaking, looked at the body thrown aside by Wu Chong. The words he had not yet finished were stuck in his throat and he did not know what to say.

My uncle, when did he become so decisive in killing?

"Keep on going."

Wu Chong was too lazy to care about Dai Yong's reaction. Such a little guy who dared to ambush him would not care about the east or the west. He didn't even bother to ask any more questions and simply dismissed the matter.
