Chapter 796 The Small Courtyard in the Woods
A fully automated horse-drawn carriage slowly moved forward on the mountain road.
The wheels rolled on, leaving two long ruts on the ground.
"Is the place you're talking about just ahead?" Jia Daoshi asked softly, sitting in the carriage and looking at the corner of a roof peeking out from the dense forest not far away.
“Yes, sir, that’s it! I’ll remember that courtyard even if it’s burned to ashes!”
The two skeleton blood guards who had regained consciousness and were leading the way were the two who had become conscious.
They look great now and have changed their clothes. It's clear they were once considered young prodigies in the sect and the object of the junior sister's secret crush.
Unfortunately, his life was ruined by the Blood Skull scam gang.
At this point, Jia Daoshi had become their second parent.
Therefore, they are now deeply grateful to Jia Daoshi, without any pretense.
Their hatred for the Blood Skull gang led them to willingly take on the role of guides.
Xiao Rongyu, the previous Holy Maiden, was absolutely right in her judgment. Although these skeleton blood guards had become puppets, these puppets still needed someone to control them. As long as the control was skillful and the distance could be extremely far, the controller would be very safe.
"My lord, according to our memory, in the small courtyard in the woods ahead lived a courtesan he kept. This woman had his child and gave birth to it. After that, she lived here in secret. Every time he finished a mission, he would take some time to come here to reunite with his wife and child. Back when we were puppets, we were responsible for guarding this forest."
The two skeleton blood guards answered in great detail: "So, as long as we wait here, he will definitely come back. Our controller is a high-ranking leader in the organization. He can directly meet with the mysterious master. As long as we capture him, we will definitely be able to obtain the most crucial intelligence! Perhaps we can even destroy this evil organization in one fell swoop!"
They were in the prime of their lives, but were turned into puppets and lived in a daze for so many years. Now that they have come to their senses, they deeply hate this evil organization!
"If you can capture them and find the headquarters of this mysterious organization, you will have done the greatest service. I will give you even better elixirs to help you recover!"
Jia Daoshi nodded: "Take control of the entire courtyard, capture them as hostages, but don't hurt them, they are our bargaining chips."
"Yes!"
The people accompanying them were the same group of kids from before. After so much experience in the martial arts world, they had all become experts capable of standing on their own.
Soon, thanks to the swift action of these kids, the front yard was quickly brought under control.
Actually, it wasn't difficult at all. It was just a mother and daughter who also kept two dogs to guard their house.
Once you have control of this courtyard, all you need to do is wait and see what happens inside.
The person they were waiting for was none other than Lord Blood Skull, who had come out on business.
After completing his mission and tricking a few blood offerings, he prepared to return here to see his daughter.
This place was the only color in his bloody career.
It was his motivation and hope to keep living.
However, Blood Skull had no idea that Jia Daoshi was already lying in wait here, waiting for him to return!
He parked the carriage in the woods outside, took out some snacks, a small wooden horse, rouge and powder, and other trinkets from the carriage, and then prepared to go into the courtyard.
"By the way, you all keep watch around here. Don't come in without my orders. Of course, if there's any danger, you should also give a warning in advance!"
At the command of the Blood Skull, these skeleton Blood Guards disappeared into the shadows of the dense forest.
It was late at night, and the nearby villages were all dark, indicating that everyone was asleep.
So as long as they don't cause too much of a commotion, no one will know that there is such a group of people here.
"As long as Master can conquer the capital, I won't have to be so careful anymore."
The Blood Skull looked up at the night sky and sighed.
He really didn't want to continue living this life of hiding.
After letting out a sigh, the Blood Skull walked into the courtyard.
Push open the vermilion door, then turn around and gently close it.
But just as he closed the door and was about to walk towards the main house!
Suddenly I felt something was wrong!
At this time, his daughter would definitely not be asleep yet. He knew his daughter very well; she was energetic and a mischievous little devil.
Every night, he would pester his mother to tell him stories.
Moreover, they need to light candles to sleep every night.
But today, the whole courtyard was very quiet, and there were no candles lit!
This unusual situation alerted Lord Blood Skull to a sense of danger. He immediately threw away the gift in his hand and turned to leave.
This was an experience he had gained from years of risking his life; he knew that if he encountered any unusual situation, he had to retreat immediately!
However, when he turned around, a calm-looking young man was already standing behind him.
The boy held a short sword that gleamed with a cold light, which flashed past his chest!
"Stab!"
Blood Skull instinctively took a step back, but his clothes were still torn in the front!
If it had been any slower, I would definitely be bleeding by now!
"who!"
The Blood Skull retreated repeatedly, its face filled with shock and rage!
"You villain! Today is your death day!"
Just as Blood Skull was filled with shock and anger, another voice sounded behind him.
"Huh? That voice?"
Blood Skull turned around and, upon seeing the two figures before him, could no longer remain calm!
"Lin Pingzhi of the Huashan Sect, Song Qingshu of the Wudang Sect! It's you! Weren't you supposed to have your minds erased and turned into puppets? How could you possibly recover? This is impossible!" Blood Skull was completely stunned by this sight!
That's right, these two skeleton blood guards are Lin Pingzhi from the Huashan Sect and Song Qingshu from the Wudang Sect. When they first came down the mountain for training, they were tricked by the blood skeletons with a treasure map.
These young heroes love treasure maps the most; this method always works.
“That’s right, it’s us. Isn’t that surprising?” Lin Pingzhi slowly drew his longsword.
"Today, we will take our revenge!" Song Qingshu's eyes were also filled with hatred.
Blood Skull narrowed his eyes. He didn't know what had happened, but the appearance of the two people in front of him must be related to the hunting operation targeting them recently!
In other words, it is inextricably linked to Jia Daoshi!
"And I!"
Then a cold voice rang out.
The blood skeleton looked in the direction of the sound, its pupils shrinking again.
Xiao Rongyu, the former Holy Maiden of the Sun Moon Sect!
After Qingjin County collapsed, this Holy Maiden disappeared!
Rumor has it that she was abducted by Jia Tisi of the Imperial City Guard.
Unexpectedly, I met Xiao Rongyu here.
