Chapter 325 Face to Face
Chapter 325 Face to Face
Late at night, the wilderness was silent and several figures appeared dozens of meters away from the thatched hut. If you didn't look carefully, they almost blended into the night.
That’s right, it was Xia Mo and Ling Chuan.
"Boss, they are inside. Should we go in now?" asked a man who had been following Zhao Xier and the others.
Ling Chuan quickly glanced at the thatched hut, his eyes exposed outside the mask were dark and angry, with an unconcealable gloom in them, as if not a single light could penetrate.
After a long while, he said solemnly: "If you accidentally encounter them after entering, be careful, our target is that woman."
"Yes, Boss." Several people responded sparsely, but no one was willing to take action.
From time to time, they glanced at Xia Mo, who was also covering his face with cloth and holding a one-and-a-half-meter-long thick tree trunk in his hand, as if they had something to say about him.
Yes, in their minds, although Xia Mo is extremely smart, shrewd and tolerant, he is just a weak guy after all. If a real fight breaks out, what use will a tree trunk be? What if he gets hurt?
Some of them were armed, but Xia Mo refused to exchange with them. He was reluctant to use the dagger Ling Chuan gave him, so he tried the dog-beating stick he picked up on the roadside.
Noticing their frequent glances at him, Xia Mo looked over and saw that they seemed to be hesitant to speak and had expressions of disapproval. He immediately understood.
His beautiful eyes curved slightly, and he smiled and said, "Don't worry about me. Brother Chuan has taught me some defensive methods. If things get worse, Brother Chuan is still here. You just need to protect yourselves."
During this time, he did not forget to look at the stern-faced man beside him and winked at him cunningly.
Ling Chuan met his gaze and saw the eager light flashing in his eyes. He felt doting and helpless at the same time. The young man was different today, and maybe his skills were better than theirs.
He turned to look at the others, "Mo'er has me, you just take care of yourselves."
Several men looked away embarrassedly upon hearing this.
That's true. With the boss, a doting husband, around, why should they worry about anything?
Seeing that everyone no longer opposed it, Ling Chuan strode towards the thatched hut. He was more eager than anyone else to solve this major hidden danger!
Tap, tap, tap. Under the dim moonlight, the evening breeze was blowing and the night was as cool as water. Long legs crossed the slightly bright shallow puddle and came to the outside of the thatched house.
The closer they got, the more alert Xia Mo and his companions became, and they tried to sneak in carefully. However, they were discovered by the night watch before they could enter.
"Who?"
He Si suddenly raised his head, his sharp eyes like knives, shooting straight out, and at the same time he drew out the knife at his waist in a defensive posture.
As soon as he spoke, his companions who were dozing around the fire were instantly awakened.
Seeing him defending himself with a knife, the alarm bells rang loudly. He quickly stood up, drew his weapon, and asked He Si about his situation: "He Lao Si, what happened?"
"Brother Guan, we may be being targeted." He Si frowned, turned his head slightly to reply and then turned back, his tiger eyes fixed on the place he was originally looking at.
When Brother Guan and the others heard this, their expressions suddenly changed and they looked around, but the result was dull. They couldn't see anything unusual, so they looked in the direction where Hu Si was looking.
"Where are the people? Where is they?" the coachman who had been driving the car during the day asked in a deep voice. Although he didn't find anything, he didn't think that He Si had seen it wrong.
He Si raised his hand and pointed the tip of his knife at where Xia Mo and the others were hiding. "It's right behind. Judging from the noise, there may be more than one person."
At this moment, Zhao Xier also woke up slowly. When she opened her eyes, she saw that the people guarding her all had serious expressions and were holding weapons. Her eyebrows jumped and she quickly got up and hid behind.
After all, she had worked so hard to remember everything, and she didn't want anything unexpected to happen along the way.
"What's going on?" Zhao Xier asked with a frown.
Unfortunately, He Si and the others didn't even look at her. They just frowned and raised their voices to shout outside: "Come out! I've already found you, so don't hide your head and show your tail!"
Outside the wall, Xia Mo subconsciously turned his head to look at Ling Chuan. Ling Chuan walked out with a calm look in his eyes and then walked inside.
As soon as he moved, Xia Mo and the others followed immediately.
They were coming against the dim light, tall and mighty, with a fierce momentum. Only the little boy Xia Mo looked petite, like a small person who had strayed into a group of giants.
The two teams faced each other, looking at each other, no one spoke, only the burning fire occasionally made a crackling sound.
In the end, it was Brother Guan who spoke first.
He swept his eyes across the faces of several people in front of him, and finally fixed on Ling Chuan, who was standing in the front. He had a very strong aura and was not to be underestimated. He narrowed his eyes and said, "In the middle of the night, what do you want to do with all this?"
Ling Chuan raised his eyes, and glanced at Zhao Xier behind them with his dark eyes, and said, "No intention, but this woman has to go with us."
When Zhao Xier was suddenly called, her heart stopped for a moment and there was deep suspicion in her eyes.
Are these people here to rescue her? Or are they from another faction?
Hope arose in Zhao Xier's heart, and she waited eagerly, hoping that it would be the former.
He Si and his companions also changed their expressions. One of them directly spoke out Zhao Xier's thoughts: "Who are you? Are you here to save her?"
Xia Mo said vaguely: "This is none of your business. Didn't my brother say that? We have no interest in you. As long as you hand her over to us, we won't make things difficult for you."
After Xia Mo finished speaking, he couldn't help but sigh. Hey, he never thought that one day he would shout out such villainous words.
However, in this age where profit and power are paramount and the lives of ordinary people are worthless, he is destined to be unable to coexist with this woman who is eyeing his space.
So whether he is a villain or a good guy, he is unwilling to give up his peaceful and undisturbed life. Since they cannot coexist, he can only strike first.
"Impossible!" Upon hearing Xia Mo's request, the coachman rejected it outright. This woman was more important than their lives, how could they just give her up!
Wait, these people are coming for this woman, does that mean they have been targeted by the other party for a long time?
Otherwise, how would these people know that the one here was the real Zhao Xier? And how would they know that they were staying here!
If the groom can see through this, how could He Si and the others not see through it?
In an instant, they were terrified and shocked, looking at Ling Chuan and the others as if they were facing a formidable enemy, and their hands gripping the knife handles tightened a little.
Whenever they thought about the fact that their master's plan had been uncovered by these people from the very beginning, they found it hard to believe and were very confused as to when they had been targeted.
But now is obviously not the time to think about this issue.
"Your request is a bit too much." Brother Guan said with a stern face.
Xia Mo shrugged, "Then there is no other way. We must rob this man tonight."
