19 Not worth a damn! (1/2)
In the remote side of the country, a bunch of riders raising against the dirt as their horses galloped along, side by side in a narrow road.
Their horses runs so fast that the wind rushes past, as the riders rode bareback, clutching the mane with their right hands, holding the whip in their left, whooping and hollering.
”Halt. !”
One man suddenly shouted at the riders with an extreme authority in his voice.
”Gōngzǐ . .the terrain is dangerous, we might be ambush!”
The young master that the man called get down from his stallion and look at the surrounding. There were birds flying up as if their places had been disturbed.
”Stay on your guard!” He said while studying the place. ”Chunli, they're here!”
”What were going to do, Gōngzǐ ?”
”Tell them to retreat and find another way, we will meet them at the inn, in the next town!”
He knew that whoever this people, they only came to get rid of him.
Sending his troops away will lessen the casualties.
”Hao.!”
Chunli give them an instruction, through signal. Those soldiers were all elites and personally trained by their master.
”Come lets go!”
The two of them rides back in their horses, but its not long enough from where they stop when they saw someone blocking the road.
Again they get down from their horses and checked that someone. When Chunli asked the man, he did not answered nor moved, and when he pushed him. The man suddenly fell on the ground.
”He's dead!” Chunli exclaimed. ”I will check. .
”No need. .those people were already here, why bother looking?” He said annoyingly.
The Crown Prince had natural beast-like abilities to observed things that others can't. His hearing and eyesight can be said to have, as first to none.
Then a sudden swoop of arrows from the air comes towards them, Young master immediately pushed his attendant in the other side.
They both fell in the ground, as their horses was frighten by the commotion and leaved them behind.
”Tàizǐ diànxià. !”
Chunli called him, there is no used of concealing their identities when this people already knew them.
”Im fine.!” He said coldly.
His flesh was cut open and the blood drips from his arms.
”We had a mules in our side!” He clenched his hands tightly.
”Since you're already here, why bother hiding like a dog wagging its tail between his legs!” His voice was loud enough to be heard.
A person laughed heartily as he finally showed up.”You were still as sharp as before.!”
”You.!” Ma Chunli almost advance Tàizǐ block him with his arms.
He recognized him, he was one of the top notch in the martial arts world.
”I guess its my pleassure seing you, Mr. Long Fie!”
What Tàizǐ meant is that the man had known to retired and went for seclusion for so many years, now that he suddenly appeared right in front of him. It meant, no joke!
During the laughed one man also appeared from the other side of the road. This person is thin and small, he looks like no more than a pound of meat in him and a slight blew of wind can probably blow him away.
Ma Chunli almost chuckled at his thought, but later, give his admiration towards a man when he noticed that the man appeared with out a noise.
”You're right, Im eager to see you, as you've made yourself quite famous!”
Said the man that suddenly appeared out of no where.
Tàizǐ snorts. ”Im not worthy for your compliment. .
”You're wrong its not a compliment!”
The man's voice was cold and grim.
”Unless I could see it in my two eyes.!”
As he spoke, six people appeared from the forest. Tàizǐ assumed that those people are all his disciples.
They were eight of them, all in all.
