Chapter 499: Chapter 499: Besieged on All Sides (Part 8)
How could Di Yelei let these people go?
He drew his bow and arrow again, but there were only three feathered arrows left in the quiver. After taking the lives of three people, the remaining few quickly disappeared over the hill ridge.
“Consider yourselves lucky for getting away! Hmph!”
He sneered and growled, but a gust of wind came from behind him.
He hurriedly turned around, just in time to see a bandit wielding a large knife fall behind him! And in the hollow of his back was a dagger with only the handle exposed!
Di Yelei could not help but break out in a cold sweat!
He almost capsized in the drain, dying in the plotted scheme of a villain!
He raised his head and squinted his eyes, seeing a suddenly added group of horsemen, led by none other than Nan Tianzong in his fluttering white clothes!
He soon raised his eyebrows in surprise: “I heard Young Master Nan has entered the capital city, I never thought I would meet you here! How strange!”
Nan Tianzong sighed with relief!
It was not his fault indeed, as he received the news too late! He rushed over in a hurry, originally thinking that Di Yelei would arrive a while later based on his usual speed. However, plans could not keep up with changes, and he didn’t expect it to end up like this.
Fortunately, it was a good escape!
“I did enter the capital city, but due to some matters on the road, I had to change course and come back,”
Nan Tianzong said indifferently, waving casually at the men behind him.
The men quickly scattered in all directions to search.
“Oh? So that’s how it is. I wonder why Young Master Nan would appear here? Could it be that the night view here is good, and Young Master Nan came here to enjoy the moonlight?”
Di Yelei raised his eyebrows, his gaze moving among the crowd. His hand gripping the bow and arrow did not relax at all, his muscles tense, constantly staring at Nan Tianzong’s eyes without blinking, and his ears were constantly collecting the surrounding sounds!
The slightest movements of anyone nearby were caught by him.
Nan Tianzong saw Di Yelei’s demeanor in his eyes but didn’t mention it.
“If I, the Young Master, say I just happened to pass by here, you wouldn’t believe it, would you?” Nan Tianzong laughed casually, showing no guilt at all.
“The truth is, I learned that there would be an ambush here tonight, and it just so happened that I knew the target of these people was you. So, I hurried here. Are you satisfied with my answer?”
Di Yelei’s eyes flashed, and he laughed heartily. Then he casually bowed his fist and saluted him.
“Thank you, Young Master Nan, for your help today! Since it’s already late, I will personally treat you to a table of wine and dishes on another day as a token of my gratitude, how about that?”
His gaze was firmly locked on the other person, ready to take action as soon as there was any abnormality!
Nan Tianzong waved his hand casually, seemingly oblivious to Di Yelei’s movements.
“In that case, this Young Master will be waiting at any time! Please!”
Di Yelei didn’t say any more, just casually bowed his fist and slowly backed away two steps before leaping down the slope and quickly rushing to the bottom.”
Down below, Da Niu and Er Niu were no longer in their original positions.
Di Yelei swept all around, finally finding the two hiding together behind a large rock.
The two were overjoyed to see Di Yelei appear.
However, the horses of the three were all unfortunate, so they could only leave on foot.
“Lord Di, wait a moment!”
