There are many failures in the country

Chapter 40 Unfortunate Words

There is a saying that if you don't go, you don't go, and if you don't go smoothly, you don't go smoothly.Seeing that someone continued to be dejected, Shen Ling silently walked Ma Shun away.

In order to walk with integrity, and in order not to go on the same road as Yue Xingfeng, Shen Ling rode his horse back to the fork in front and headed northward on a detour.

Going north from the fork, there is a long and narrow mountain road. The cold wind in late winter whizzes through the mountain walls on both sides.

Shen Ling huddled in her fur clothes, looking around, observing the surrounding movement, for fear that a few robbing brothers would appear behind a certain boulder.It's a pity that the road is eerily quiet, only the intermittent sound of his horse's hooves and the whirling wind.

In less than an hour, Shen Ling's heart felt weak, and the shiver between his teeth seemed to be born of fear.

fear?Shen Ling smiled dryly, and said to himself that after leaving Yue Xingfeng and 10 taels, he should be safer than before, but why does it feel more scary now?

The bottom of my heart gradually became hairy, almost rolling into a ball of hair.Shen Ling looked at the road ahead, but the mountain road still couldn't see the end.

As the road got colder and colder, Shen Ling clutched his lapel tightly, but the cold wind still penetrated into the fur coat one after another and penetrated into his skin.He couldn't help but think about the journey after Baling, and think about the living Tang lady behind him.

Shivering, Shen Ling had to rein in his horse and stop, leaning over to touch the wine bag in his bag, maybe a couple of sips would warm him up.

Just as he bent down, a cluster of feathered arrows flew across his back, and the warm liquid poured over Shen Ling's head.

He was familiar with this smell, but it was even more fishy now.Before he could raise his head in the future, he wailed along with the horse and fell to the ground together.

Shen Ling struggled to pull his right leg out from under the horse's belly. When he raised his eyes, blood rolled down his forehead, and he saw an arrow piercing the horse's head.

Thinking of the clear and cold sound of drawing swords around, Shen Ling turned around to see that he was surrounded by more than a dozen masked men.

"Hand over the Xuanqing Tianji map!" The leader pointed his sword at Shen Ling, "As long as you hand it over obediently, I will let you go."

"The picture is not on me." What Shen Ling said was true, but he didn't seem to trust that person with his eyes.

The leader sneered and said, "Young Master Xi, why did you lose your life for a foreign object? That picture is of no use to the Xi family, so you might as well leave it to me to save your own life."

Shen Ling wanted to cry but had no tears. She said in her heart that Yue Xingfeng's goal had been achieved, so whether or not the truth was exposed was no longer important: "I'm not Xi Ze, you have mistaken the person."

The leader sneered, and shook off a piece of paper: "You can see clearly, this is the written evidence that our brothers sneaked into Langfeng's darkroom and stole. I asked those people, and they said that Mr. Xi who came to get the goods from the seal was you." If you say you are not Xi Ze, who would you be!"

"I'm really not. Actually my name is Shen..."

"What's so important about using a fake name! That day, my elder brother and I stood guard all night in Langfeng Tower, and it was because of you that we couldn't do the job!" The leader stared at the burden Shen Ling had drawn out, "Hand it over!"

Shen Ling deduced that this group of people probably went to Langfeng Tower to buy goods on behalf of a certain rich man, but they met Yue Xingfeng, and their success was on the verge of failure.

The younger brother from the side said anxiously: "Second brother, don't listen to his nonsense, if you can't get the things back, the eldest brother will want... the things must be on him, we will grab them directly!"

Shen Ling saw the leader suddenly raised his head, with murderous intent in his eyes, he hurriedly untied the burden, and spread all the things on the ground: "Look, the things really aren't on me, and it's useless for you to grab them."

"Tie him up and ask the Xi family for something!"

"Yes! Bind him!"

Shen Ling secretly thought that those words just now were in vain, knowing that he was not Xi Ze, but he was going to tie him up and ask the Xi family for a map of heavenly secrets, I really don't know what they were thinking.

Seeing that the leader waved his hand to give an order, and a group of people were about to rush forward, Shen Ling couldn't care too much: "I'm not Xi Ze, I'm Shen Ling! Duke Zhao Shen Ke is my father, if you want to tie me up... you can get me Think clearly!"

"Son of Duke Zhao?" The leader was not afraid, but even more fearless, "God help me!"

Shen Ling was dumbfounded, did he say something wrong?No matter who heard the name of the old man, shouldn't they kneel down in fright?

The leader yelled: "Brothers, tie him up for me! Trade him for Big Brother!"

Shen Ling's heart sank, and she couldn't help but think of Yue Xingfeng's words, but she really had no choice at the moment.Two words that usually sound spineless are really not as important as life at this moment: "Help! Help!" Did he expect it?

"Hey, hey, the things are here. If you have the ability, come and grab them!"

He is the only one who can speak the words of justice without distraction.

Shen Ling followed the sound and saw that Yue Xingfeng was carrying the red sandalwood box, coming out from behind the rocks: "Look, look, don't you call for help?"
