485 In the Wind (2/2)
”Get out of the way, get out of the way, we're from the Qin Family, get out of the way!”
These boisterous horses went so fast that they did not pay heed to anyone at all. And since it was the busiest time on the road, many people were knocked down by these rampaging horses. The noise was so loud that men walking in front were alerted to the situation behind and scampered to get out of the way. The passageway ahead was cleared only after 13 people had been hit by the six horses.
These knights thought they got away with this, but an hour into their journey, they were stopped in their tracks.
It was a common looking middle-aged man who stopped them. The man's Qi Power was not very strong. He seemed to have practiced martial arts with cultivation of Internal Qi just at Level One or Two. He stood in the middle of the road with a serene face and blocked the knights' way.
”We're from the Qin Family, get out of the way!” Seeing the situation ahead, the leading knight roared in anger. At a distance of 30 feet from the man, he suddenly raised the whip in his hand. The whip turned into a black shadow which swung violently towards the man in gray.
The man's expression changed abruptly. He reached out to his waist, as if trying to get something, but it was too late.
By the time his hand touched his waist, the whip had hit him. The black whip curled around him like a snake and caused him a lot of pain. Then, feeling lightheaded, he was thrown into the air by the whip and landed 100 feet away. After struggling for a short while, he fainted.
”Humph, how dare you stand in the way of our Metal Horse Carriage of the Qin Family!” The leader took back his whip and glanced at the man in grey icily. Then without slowing down, he sped on as if nothing had happened.
What they didn't notice was that after their departure, the faces of passers-by who had witnessed the whole process had changed.
”God, who are they? How bold they are!”
”Yes, not only did they ride into Wuyang Region and hurt people, they even injured Wuyang Region's ancient courier. Are they looking for trouble?”
”Heehee, there will be a showdown soon. They will get their comeuppance then!”
”Not necessarily. Didn't you hear them saying that they were from the Qin Family? The Qin Family in South Mountains is one of the nine biggest well-known families in the Jin. Maybe they really have something important to do!”
”Humph, the nine biggest well-known families are nothing. They should remember who built the road and who sets the rules here!” Another person said with a sneer, ”Isn't the Wang Family one of the nine biggest well-known families? But he didn't give them any face and even swallowed up their territory!”
”SHH, shut up. Don't say dumb things. Who told you that he swallowed up the Wang's territory? The emperor gave it to him!”
”Yes, you're right, the emperor gave it to him. Whose side do you think he will be on this time? The emperor or the well-known family? Though he is the son-in-law of the emperor, he is also a man of Tian Long Taoism. And Tian Long Taoism is closely related to these well-known families!”
While chatting, they deviated from the original theme. Then there was a heated discussion.
The six knights went on riding for more than 15 kilometers after they had wounded the man in grey robe. Suddenly, the leading knight's expression changed, and he pulled up the reins sharply.
Yu Yu Yu一[this was the person giving his command to the horse]
The boisterous horse that he was riding on gave a long whinny because of his sudden tug. The horse backed up, and its front hooves kicked wildly in the air for several times before it slowed down.
The five knights behind him did the same thing.
They stopped their horses and looked sullen.
There was no one on the strangely quiet Wuyang Road. The wind was blowing strongly, and Wuyang Road appeared to be very bleak and empty.
The six knights had an intense look on their faces as they felt the murderous intent hovering in the air, even though no one was in sight.
They were in a valley of a low mountain.
