Chapter 984 Sky-high Reward

Chapter 984 Sky-high Reward

Xin Yue is the granddaughter of Mr. Yushan. This time, she will naturally live in Yushan Academy.

The Xin family came to Chang'an from a distance of hundreds of miles. At this moment, they are waiting in the high-walled courtyard under the name of Mr. Yushan.

The students of the academy wanted to join in the fun and embarrass the groom for Mr. Yushan, but the groom was Yun Ye. Under his power as the judge of the academy, the students had to give up the idea of ​​embarrassment and choose to join in the fun.

In this way, the wedding procession drove all the way to Yushan Academy.

When Yun Ye walked along the road, more than a dozen agile figures followed in the mountains and forests on both sides.

The leading man held a strong bow, and his sharp eyes swept around like an eagle.

The next second, a slight sound came from the big tree seven steps away.

The man was quick-eyed and quick-handed. In the blink of an eye, he drew his bow and shot an arrow in the direction of the sound.

"Puff--"

The arrow hit the flesh, and a muffled groan came from the treetops, and then a heavy object fell down with a thud.

The man immediately led his men over, and seeing the assassin still gasping on the ground, he immediately kicked him over.

The people next to him quickly surrounded him, tied up the assassin with swift hands and feet, and stuffed a piece of linen in his mouth.

Only then did the man lower his strong bow, tear open the assassin's clothes, and saw a tiger head tattoo on his chest.

"It's really the Tiger Gang..." The man sneered, "Do you really think you can run rampant in the streets of Chang'an?"

As he said that, the man pulled out a short knife and stabbed the assassin's heart fiercely.

At this moment, a stream of energy shot out from the side, knocking the man's short knife crooked, and stabbed into the shoulder with a puff.

"Woo woo!"

The assassin widened his eyes and whimpered in pain with bloodshot face.

The man didn't care about the assassin's reaction at all. He immediately let go of the knife handle, drew his bow and arrow, and looked around vigilantly.

"Who is it?!"

"..."

Except for the breeze, there was no sound in the forest.

The man frowned tightly, and his eyes kept scanning the surroundings, not daring to miss any details.

"Puff-Puff-"

There were several more light sounds, and several figures around the man fell down inexplicably.

The people next to him were shocked and quickly reached out to check. They found that they were still breathing, and then they breathed a sigh of relief.

The man gestured to the leading man, indicating that his companions were fine, but just fainted.

The man nodded slightly, still drew his bow and arrow, and looked around with a serious face.

But unfortunately, the strength of the people who came was far greater than theirs. No matter how vigilant he was, it was difficult to guard against the other party's sneak attack.

So, with the light sounds coming from time to time, the figures around the man fell down one after another.

Every thump of his companions falling to the ground would bring him great psychological pressure.

When all his companions were knocked down by the unpredictable means, the man was sweating profusely and finally couldn't help shouting.

"Who is it?!"

"Come out and meet me!"

As the voice fell, a white figure quietly emerged from the woods in front of the right.

I got you!

The man's eyes were stern, and he loosened his fingers without hesitation and shot the iron arrow on the bow.

"Swish!"

The arrow cut through the air, crossed a distance of more than ten meters in the blink of an eye, and came in front of the white figure.

But before the iron arrow head touched his body, a slender hand reached out from the side, lightly grabbed the arrow shaft, and let it hum and vibrate in his hand.

Seeing this scene, the man's pupils shrank suddenly, and he immediately shot three arrows in a row.

For the first arrow, the man in white let go of the arrow shaft in his hand.

The second arrow, the man in white took a step forward and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

The third arrow, the man in white crossed a distance of more than ten meters and appeared in front of the man like a ghost. The strong and powerful hand stretched forward lightly, passed through the gap between the bow arm and the bowstring, and grabbed the man's neck.

It was not until then that the three consecutive arrows were nailed into the tree trunk with a "thump thump thump" sound, and the falling arrows finally fell to the ground.

Looking at the man in white who appeared like a ghost in front of him, the man widened his eyes and looked at him in horror as if he had seen a ghost.

But even with fear in his heart, the man still did not give up resistance. He quickly pulled the bowstring and tried to lead the empty string to whip the man in white's arm.

The man in white noticed his intention, and immediately shook his arm, and actually broke the strong bow abruptly, and pinched the man's neck and lifted him up.

It was at this time that the man finally saw the face of the man in white clearly.

He widened his eyes, quickly let go of the knife handle he had already grasped, and raised his hands to grab the big hand on his neck, making an indistinct sound with difficulty.

"Hehe Lin... Hehe..."

When the man in white heard the word Lin, he immediately raised his eyebrows, let go of his hand, and let the man fall down.

The man fell to the ground, covering his neck without caring about his image, and coughed violently.

The man in white frowned, looked at the man in front of him and said lightly: "Who are you, and what is the Tiger Gang?"

The man recovered, struggled to stand up, and bowed to the man in white, saying with difficulty: "Mr. Lin, I am Liu Xian, the commander of the palace guards. This trip is ordered by the emperor to protect Yun Hou's wedding team..."

"...Huh?"

Lin Zhongtian pulled the corner of his mouth, and said with a frown: "Are you from the palace?"

Liu Xian cupped his hands and smiled bitterly, "That's right."

Lin Zhongtian said unhappily, "Why are you so sneaky?"

Liu Xian looked at Lin Zhongtian cautiously and whispered, "Your Majesty has ordered that we don't need to let Yun Hou know what we are waiting for."

Lin Zhongtian glanced at him and said, "Then can I know?"

Liu Xian cupped his hands respectfully and said, "Your Majesty has instructed that if you are found by the gentleman, you must report your name as soon as possible, otherwise, I and others may be in danger of their lives."

Before meeting Lin Zhongtian, he still felt a little bit of disapproval of His Majesty's instructions.

But now, he finally understood His Majesty's good intentions, and was very glad that he carefully memorized Lin Zhongtian's portrait.

Otherwise, he would probably be like his colleagues around him, not knowing what happened until he fainted.

Thinking of this, Liu Xian said sincerely: "Mr.'s martial arts are indeed well-deserved, and I admire you!"

Lin Zhongtian ignored Liu Xian's compliment, and instead raised his head, glanced at the dense tree canopy, and said lightly: "So you already knew that he was from the palace?"

Hearing Lin Zhongtian's words, Liu Xian was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly reacted, looking at the tree canopy above his head in astonishment.

The dense tree canopy was shaking, and a dirty head poked out from it, grinning at the two people below.

In the open mouth, there was a missing front tooth, and with the face smeared with tree sap, it looked very funny.

But the old guy with such a funny appearance actually hid in the tree canopy above their heads from the beginning, and until now, he has not been discovered by Liu Xian and his men.

Looking at Lin Zhongtian and Liu Xian below, the old man with missing front teeth smiled.

"Mr. Lin, didn't you hear it just now? It's inconvenient to let the Marquis know about this. The two of us are also considering those who are doing the work, so we didn't dare to show up..."

The two of us? !

Liu Xian's eyes widened, meaning there was more than one person on the tree?

When Liu Xian's confidence collapsed and he was in a state of despair, Lin Zhongtian said unhappily: "Come down and talk!"

"Okay!"

The old man responded simply, and immediately slid down the tree trunk with a short bow on his back.

At the same time, a figure jumped down from another tree next to him. It was also an old guy with a short bow and a short knife.

Lin Zhongtian looked at the despairing Liu Xian, and then cast his eyes on the second old guy, chuckled: "This guy seems to have been hit by you. Self-confidence, I guess he can't recover for a while."

"Old Jiang, you two tell me, what is this Tiger Gang?"

There is no doubt that these two veterans who are very well hidden are the manpower sent out by the Yun family.

Old Jiang glanced at Liu Xian next to him, and bowed to Lin Zhongtian, saying, "In reply to your question, the Tiger Gang is a local gang in Chang'an. For many years, they have been doing some shady business. The people of Chang'an are afraid of them, but because they are said to have aristocratic families as backers, they have not been eliminated by the county government in recent years."

"As for why the Tiger Gang attacked the Marquis this time, I don't know..."

Another old man with missing front teeth also nodded, glanced at the tightly bound assassin and sneered, "Logically speaking, these local gangs have always only dared to harm the people. When did they dare to attack the Great Tang Wu Hou?"

"The old man thinks there must be something fishy behind this. Why don't you hand this man over to me and Lao Jiang? The two of us can definitely ask him everything he knows!"

"No need." Liu Xian next to him finally came to his senses. He looked at the two veterans with a complicated expression, turned his head and bowed, "Three days ago, the underworld suddenly posted a sky-high reward. Someone offered a reward of 5,000 strings of cash for Yun Hou's head."

"These desperate men of the Tiger Gang should have been motivated by greed and accepted the reward."

Lin Zhongtian looked at him thoughtfully and said, "Is it the Dou Yanshan who escaped from the Dou family?"

Liu Xian replied with an unchanged expression, "I don't know."
