Chapter 33

Did you get scared just by that?

Qin Yu was speechless. He quickly raised the sharp blade, not wanting it to be wetted by urine.

"Hurry up, get them all down."

The leader hurriedly shouted, "Lai Ergou, Zhang Dazui, you guys are trying to kill me? Get down now!"

The two had no choice but to quickly dismount and throw away the bows and arrows in their hands.

"Make them undo their belts and squat down."

"Squat down, hurry up! Undo your belts, hurry up, squat properly!" The leader's commands were more professional and dedicated than Qin Yu's.

"Why are you chasing my brother? And shooting at him to death?" Qin Yu watched as a few of the men who could still move undid their belts and squatted on the ground. He then went to undo the belts of those who couldn't move, and couldn't help but chuckle, finding it quite amusing.

"This... this..."

Zhang Ren continued, "Sister Xiaodie lent me her horse and gave me a ticket to the singing fair. This Master Lai has been causing me trouble, three times in a row, always trying to take my horse and ticket. If it weren't for me running fast each time, I wouldn't be able to see Second Master anymore."

Qin Yu was furious, "Kid, you have so many good horses, and you still want to snatch my brother's horse?" In that situation, if not for Zhang Ren's excellent archery skills, in the middle of the wilderness, once they were caught, there would be no escape.

Master Lai hurriedly begged for mercy, "Grandfathers, I didn't recognize you and offended you... Please, for the sake of my father, spare my life. My father will certainly give you a generous gift."

"Your father? Just because your father has money, you can kill and rob people at will?" Qin Yu scolded, then immediately followed up, "Who is your father, a high-ranking person?"

"My father is Lai Gong from Lingling, he... he is very wealthy."

"Lai Gong from Lingling?" Qin Yu hadn't heard of this person's name. He was pondering what kind of generous gift he could get by exchanging his son when he suddenly heard Zhang Ren shout, "Dog thief!"

His left hand quickly raised, and a惨叫 from behind him, as a black crossbow bolt pierced through the temple of someone behind him.

Qin Yu saw the short knife in the dead man's hand still faintly gleaming and was startled, realizing he had been a bit careless. If this guy had managed to stab him at close range, even with his protective leather armor, he would have been seriously injured.

In that moment, he noticed the movement of the handsome young man in front of him.

His face was twisted, and his left hand was already raised in a strange manner.

A chill ran through his heart, making Qin Yu almost want to cough loudly.

He didn't have the time. Almost simultaneously, the cold light under the starry night struck his chest, piercing his heart and lungs.

Master Lai laughed maniacally, sneering, "Bastard, see if you dare to draw your sword against this young master! You're not dead yet? Hehe..." He kept talking while retreating.

"Too much talk!" Without hesitation, Qin Yu pounced, reached out, and cut Master Lai's throat with one sword stroke.

Master Lai covered his throat with his right hand, as if he still wanted to say something, but his eyes bulged higher and higher, and he couldn't utter a single word.

Qin Yu, after one sword stroke, ignored him and turned his sword to stab the waist of a nearby horseman who was drawing his sword.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Zhang Ren's rapid-fire black crossbow shook slightly, and two riders who had just mounted their horses were hit in the back, falling off their horses.

The brothers worked in perfect harmony. Once they started killing, they divided their tasks, one sword and one arrow, shooting from a distance and cutting close, truly a deadly duo, with no misses.

Fortunately, there were no strong opponents in this group. In no time, the brothers had killed all of Master Lai's hangers-on and guests.

"Alright, brother, it's time to search the bodies." Qin Yu casually dropped his blood-soaked sword and took a deep breath.

Zhang Ren grinned, wondering why he always had to do the dirty work at the end.

However, he had no objections. Poor children grow up fast, and the poor Zhang Ren had deeply understood the great truth of "waste is shameful" from a young age.

"Brother, are you okay?"

"Fine!" Qin Yu touched his right chest, pulled out the three- to four-inch-long sleeve needle, muttered a curse, and threw it to Zhang Ren, "Don't forget this."

Close call! It had stuck to the leather jacket, just a little bit away from piercing through the inner layer of the chest.

Zhang Ren carefully took the sleeve needle and happily went to collect the spoils of war.

Qin Yu turned to the big locust tree, untied the black velvet rope given to him by Xi Zhilan.

A very useful lasso, it would be useful in the future, so he couldn't lose it.

...

After quickly searching the bodies for about half an hour, Zhang Ren couldn't help but laugh, carrying a bag and running over.

"Brother, brother, these bastards are really rich!"

Qin Yu looked at him and smiled, "Little brother, I didn't know you could laugh so meaningfully!"

Zhang Ren's smile froze for a moment, "Second brother, are you cursing me again?"

Qin Yu was taken aback, "Not bad, little brother, your brain is growing! But I'm not cursing you, I'm praising you! How about it, these young masters have some good stuff, right?"

"Not just some good stuff, brother, you can't look down on people!" Zhang Ren was in high spirits, his mood completely lifted from the fear of being chased. His face was beaming.

"What did you get, so smug?" Qin Yu looked around, stopping Zhang Ren from opening the bag, "Let's clean up the bodies first, it's not good if the villagers see."

"Oh, we have to bury them too?" Zhang Ren's face really turned sour, the workload was huge.

Qin Yu shrugged, they couldn't just leave the bodies lying around, that would bring trouble to the villagers.

After sorting out, there were five horses that could still stand, except for those with broken legs or lame hooves. Qin Yu called Zhang Ren, and the two of them worked together to drag the seven or eight bodies onto the horses, cleaned up the blood-stained snow on the ground, and drove the horses away.

Master Lai's horses were actually quite good, and Zhang Ren was quite reluctant to part with them, but Qin Yu didn't agree. These horses were good, but precisely because of that, the Lai family might recognize them.

After driving the horses for about ten miles, they gave them a few hard whips to scatter them far away. Qin Yu and Zhang Ren rode one horse back to the small village. Qin Yu quietly opened the gate and let Zhang Ren and the horse into the courtyard.

After settling the horse, the two of them went into Qin Yu's room, and the brothers briefly updated each other on what had happened since they parted ways.

Zhang Ren's story was simple. Many experts had come to Shenmu Town, but he hadn't paid much attention, just wandering around, hoping to find Qin Yu. No one paid attention to him, letting him move freely. Until this afternoon, when it was almost dark, Xiaodie suddenly came to his room in a panic, telling him that many experts were planning to catch him and urging him to run. He rode Xiaodie's horse and fled. He didn't expect to run into Master Lai's group halfway and be chased all the way to now.

Qin Yu noticed the problem, "This afternoon? Was it Jin Wei who said that?"

Zhang Ren replied, "Yes, yes, Xiaodie said it was him. He suggested that if they caught me, they might be able to get Second Master back."

"This dog! Utter nonsense." Qin Yu snorted, then suddenly remembered, "Ah, I see, little brother, you and Xiaodie are quite close, huh?"

"Yes, these two days, I often went into the forest with her, looking for you everywhere."

"Very good, using my matter as an excuse, confidently chasing after girls, little brother, you've finally graduated!" Qin Yu patted Zhang Ren's shoulder, tears streaming down his face. He had been wandering and restless, while his brother was in the midst of passionate love, with a beauty offering herself, giving him a ticket and even a horse.

"Um... not really." Zhang Ren scratched his head, feeling a bit embarrassed, "Brother, what should we do now?"

"What should we do? In such cold weather, we can only make do." Qin Yu said casually, "Wait for the old man to come back, I'll talk to him and see how to smooth things over for you. Your level is really a bit..."

He pinched Zhang Ren's arm, suddenly his eyes widened. How could it be so strong? He hadn't noticed, but this guy's external skills were much higher than his own!
