Chapter 9: Grudges
Faced with the sudden appearance of the group of black-clad men, Duan Qing turned pale with fear.
He looked at the crossbow arrows with a cold glow, and a sense of fear lingered in his heart. For the first time, he felt that death was so close.
Wu Wen behind him was even worse. Last night was the first time he slept in the wild. He didn't get much rest, and he was still in a daze while walking on the road.
But the scene in front of him scared him so much that he lost all his sleepiness, his teeth were chattering, and he couldn't even stand steadily.
As for the guards Zhang Li and Cheng Yu, they were fine. They took a defensive posture and looked at the black-clad men behind the bridge warily.
Wang Dazhuang glared at the beautiful woman in front of him, whose appearance was still the same as before and exuded a mature atmosphere. His mood was very complicated.
This Yang Xian'er was a woman he met when he was young and wandered around. At the beginning, because of their similar temperaments, he and her traveled around the Great Cang Kingdom together.
During the period of getting along day and night, Wang Dazhuang fell in love with Yang Xian'er, and Yang Xian'er also had an ambiguous attitude towards him, and the relationship was unclear.
After that, the two of them partnered up and opened a escort agency with another friend. The business went smoothly at the beginning, but once when escorting, he was betrayed by another friend and almost lost his life. Fortunately, he was saved by Duan Niu and his wife.
Afterwards, he found out that it was all Yang Xian'er who was behind all this. It turned out that Yang Xian'er used some means to hook up with a deputy gang leader named Huang from a certain martial arts sect in Da Cang Country.
In order to marry the deputy gang leader Huang without worries, Yang Xian'er wanted to get rid of Wang Dazhuang, who had an unclear relationship with her.
She first instigated another friend to get rid of Wang Dazhuang, and then killed him to silence him. The matter was done cleanly and the means were extremely cruel, which showed that Yang Xian'er was a vicious woman.
Later, Wang Dazhuang, who knew the truth, hated Yang Xian'er to the bone.
But he did not go to seek revenge because of the friendship in the past and the persuasion of Duan Niu and his wife.
Yang Xian'er probably thought that he had already died.
After so many years, he started a new life and almost forgot the hatred. He was still a little upset when he recalled the past.
The hatred in his heart was aroused again after seeing the woman in front of him, and it was fierce.
Wang Dazhuang could hardly control his emotions. His face was ferocious, and veins on his forehead bulged. He yelled at Yang Xianer: "You bitch, I didn't bother you back then, but now you dare to appear in front of me!"
"Oh, what are you talking about? Brother Wang, since you are still alive, you didn't come to me, but I was so miserable hiding it!"
Yang Xianer looked at the furious Wang Dazhuang, and the smile on her face became more intense. There was no trace of guilt for murdering her former lover.
Without waiting for Wang Dazhuang to respond, he continued to say sarcastically: "My brother Wang, don't blame me. If you want to blame someone, blame your new county governor for not knowing how to promote himself and refusing to cooperate with our Wild Wolf Gang. We have no choice but to teach him a lesson and let him know that he can't have the final say in this Luzhou."
Speaking of this, Yang Xian'er paused, glanced at everyone with a playful look, and finally set her eyes on Wang Dazhuang. "It just so happened that we found out that he had a capable person who was recalled to Luzhou City by him, so we did a special investigation."
"When I found out that the person was you, I was very surprised! So this time I personally led the team here, ready to have a good chat with you, brother Wang, and by the way, let you... die again!"
Duan Qing now completely understood that this woman named Yang Xian'er came to seek revenge on Uncle Wang. In the past, I always heard that some people fought to death because of grudges, which I thought was a bit incomprehensible and a bit funny.
But now that he was in this situation, he felt completely different.
Although the woman had a smile on her face from beginning to end and kept calling him Brother Wang, even Duan Qing could see that she wanted to kill Uncle Wang!
Others, including himself, were probably doomed.
Thinking of this, Duan Qing was extremely scared. He thought that he might never see his parents again and never go back to Xiao'an City. He didn't know what to do at all. Now he could only rely on Uncle Wang, so he called out tremblingly.
"Uncle Wang!"
Wang Dazhuang heard Duan Qing's voice behind him, turned around and looked at Duan Qing's helpless eyes, he calmed down immediately, and the idea of rushing up and fighting with the other party disappeared without a trace.
Originally, when he heard Yang Xian'er, that bitch, say that he wanted to die again, he almost wanted to rush up and cut the other party into pieces regardless of everything.
But the most important thing now is to ensure Qing'er's safety, otherwise how can he explain to Brother Duan and his wife.
So Wang Dazhuang gave Duan Qing a reassuring look, then turned his head and looked at Yang Xian'er without saying a word, thinking about how to get Duan Qing out safely.
In this situation, he absolutely couldn't ask Yang Xian'er to beg him. With Yang Xian'er's viciousness, there was no way she would let anyone go today. Otherwise, why not kneel down and beg her for Qing'er.
The current situation was very bad. Facing so many powerful crossbows, even Wang Dazhuang himself was a little overwhelmed and difficult to resist, not to mention protecting two powerless teenagers.
Yang Xian'er in front looked at the silent Wang Dazhuang, feeling very happy. She just liked the feeling of controlling everything, this power.
In fact, she had some good feelings for Wang Dazhuang back then. After all, they had been together for so long and he was very considerate to her.
But later, in order to climb up the ladder, she had to use a trick to get rid of Wang Dazhuang.
At first, when she thought Wang Dazhuang was dead, she still felt a little guilty and sad, but as the wife of the deputy gang leader for so many years, she was surrounded by people and her conscience had been numb by greed and power, and the guilt in her heart had long disappeared without a trace.
So when she learned that Wang Dazhuang was not dead, her first reaction was to get rid of this stumbling block completely.
Now she appeared in front of Wang Dazhuang as a successful person, first to get rid of Wang Dazhuang to eliminate future troubles, and second to prove that her decision was correct.
Now that she had said what she needed to say, and didn't want to play the show anymore, Yang Xian'er felt that there was no need to waste time, so she raised her hand and prepared to order an attack.
Seeing Yang Xian'er's action, Wang Dazhuang pulled out the long knife from his waist and held it tightly in his hand, looking like he was facing a great enemy.
Zhang Li and Cheng Yu, the two guards who had been silent, immediately drew their swords and crossed them across their chests, facing the black-clothed man behind the bridge.
However, at this moment, a sharp sword sound came from the sky from far to near.
Everyone looked up unconsciously and saw a young man in a red robe stepping on a red flying sword, flying towards everyone's head. The sword sound seemed to come from the flying sword under his feet.
The man flying the sword was very fast and reached the top of everyone's head in the blink of an eye. The buzzing and sharp sword sound shocked everyone subconsciously to protect their ears with both hands.
Duan Qing was also shocked by the sword sound and covered his ears hard, feeling a splitting headache.
Even so, he still opened his eyes wide and stared at the man flying the sword. Two words flashed in his heart... Immortal!
Is this what Uncle Wang said, the immortal who can fly with a sword?
It's really amazing, so... majestic!
Wang Dazhuang also saw the man flying the sword, but he immediately retracted his gaze.
His physical fitness was beyond ordinary people. Although he was a little dazed by the sound of the sword, he was still able to stay awake.
At this moment, he had no mind to think about anything else. Looking at Yang Xian'er and the black-clothed man who were shocked by the sound of the sword, Wang Dazhuang thought that the opportunity had come.
He looked around and looked at the rushing river under the stone bridge, and he had a plan in mind.
At this time, the man flying the sword had gradually flown away, and flew lower and lower, and finally disappeared in front of everyone.
As the sound of the sword became smaller and smaller, Wang Dazhuang was the first to act.
He turned around without hesitation, grabbed Duan Qing who was stunned by the sound of the sword, and shouted loudly in his ear: "Qing'er, you must live!"
Before he finished speaking, he pulled Duan Qing up and threw him into the river under the bridge, then picked up the long knife and killed Yang Xian'er and the group of black-clothed men who had reacted in front of him.
He knew that Duan Qing could swim a little, and the probability of him surviving in the river was definitely higher than being a live target on the bridge. Now that he had no worries, he had a chance to break out of the encirclement.
At this moment, Duan Qing's mind was blank and his ears were buzzing.
At the moment of falling off the bridge, looking at Uncle Wang, Wu Wen and others on the bridge, in addition to the fear of falling suddenly, there was only one thought in his mind.
What should Uncle Wang and Xiucai do?
