"Fourth Brother, look back and see if they're secretly tailing us?"

"..."

"No, can't see anyone, no movement either."

"Good, seems like that guy really doesn't have the heart to kill."

"Hehe, he's a newbie!"

"Probably lived in peace for too long, looks like he acts decisively, but doesn't dare to kill at all."

"Damn, looks like a pretty boy, so cowardly during the day, didn't expect him to be a master!"

"So unlucky, tendons in my hands and feet are broken, even if we ask Old Man You to help, it'll probably take a year and a half to recover."

"Stop complaining, luckily that guy's a newbie, we bluffed him with our words, otherwise he would've silently killed us, I even have Corpse Dissolving Powder on me."

Third Brother shuddered.

"First Brother, what do we do now?"

"Of course, we leave the city tonight."

"Luckily we sent the stuff out in advance, otherwise we wouldn't be able to climb over the wall carrying it."

Back at Lu Zheng's house, he calmed Uncle Li and Aunt Liu, who had come out to check after hearing the noise, reassured them to go back to sleep, then returned to his bedroom, decisively crossed back to modern times, changed into a black Hongxing Erke tracksuit, and a pair of black Anta sneakers.

Crossing back again, he took out a short knife.

This was the one he seized when he broke Fourth Brother's wrist, precisely for this moment.

Taking out the Qi Seeking Talisman, he manipulated the hand seals, and soon a large mass of Qi gathered, with a bit of coldness within.

Folding the paper talisman, he held it in his palm, gripped the knife in his other hand, and jumped out of the courtyard, his figure sticking to the corner of the wall as he left swiftly.

When Lu Zheng followed not far behind the four, they had just reached a dead corner of the county town wall.

Compared to the city walls modern people imagine from movies, ten meters high and wide enough for horses to run on.

In reality, ancient county towns usually had ordinary earthen walls, five meters high at most, and wide enough for three people to walk side by side.

The Great Jing Dynasty was naturally the same, Tonglin County was not a large or important town, the earthen wall of a few meters high could not stop these four brothers.

He saw First Brother and Second Brother supporting the other two, a grappling hook was thrown up, and then they scurried up the city wall in a few steps, flipping over.

The area outside the city was relatively open, so Lu Zheng waited for a moment, then flew over, approaching the corner of the wall, Lu Zheng suddenly accelerated, and then stepped onto the city wall in a few steps, sweeping over.

After descending the city wall, he also saw the vague figures ahead, just disappearing into the woods outside the city.

Smiling slightly, following the guidance of the Qi Seeking Talisman in his hand, Lu Zheng silently followed.

"We're here."

"Let's rest, ugh, it hurts!"

"Damn it, that pretty boy will pay the price!"

"First Brother, you and the Second Hall Master are brothers-in-law, as long as we ask the Second Hall Master to take action, wouldn't that pretty boy be easily captured?"

"Damn it, are you stupid, are you blind and didn't see how beautiful that woman is, if the Second Hall Master takes her, will we have a good time in the future?"

"Uh, this..."

"Do we need the Second Hall Master to deal with a newbie? Today we just faced him head-on, many methods we didn't have time to use."

Second Brother said sinisterly, "After a while, I'll ask Old Man You for some poison, and send him to his death at night!"

"Hehe, that's right, that's right, we were also stupid, just thinking about venting our anger."

"After he dies, we'll take some time to come again, hehe..."

"Hmph, when the time comes, we'll use the Corpse Dissolving Powder, a family of ten or so people, I'll make them all disappear without a trace!"

Second Brother spoke, taking out a small bottle from his bosom, tossing it up and down in his hand, as if he had already killed Lu Zheng.

"Alright, get the stuff out. After another stretch, we'll get as close as possible to the main road. Watch out for poisonous insects in the forest, and don't get snuck up on by a wildcat."

"After dawn, I'll go to the post station and rent a car, and we'll settle down in Li Family Town first."

First Brother and Second Brother got up, went to a large tree nearby, bent down and rummaged for a while, pulled aside the bushes under the tree, and took out two large packages from the tree hole.

"Let's go."

First Brother said, and he and Second Brother each took a package, carrying them on one side, and supporting the other man whose Achilles tendons had been severed on the other side.

First Brother supported Fourth Brother in front, and Second Brother supported Third Brother behind.

The next moment...

"Shua!"

A flash of a blade, and the heads of Second Brother and Third Brother flew into the sky.

Hearing the wind behind him, First Brother instantly blocked Fourth Brother behind him, and then leaped into the depths of the forest.

Lu Zheng endured the discomfort in his body and slashed again with a forehand.

"Cha!"

The patterned steel Embroidered Spring Blade, blessed with Martial Blood Qi, was simply unstoppable, directly severing Fourth Brother's outstretched arm, and then, with undiminished momentum, the blade swept across his neck, directly cutting open most of his neck.

Lu Zheng dodged the splashing blood, leaped up, and rushed into the forest.

In the dark night, in the forest, the moonlight was blocked by the shade of the trees. Although it was not so dark that one could not see one's fingers, one could not see beyond seven steps.

First Brother ran away in advance, picking up stones at random as he fled and throwing them in all directions.

When Lu Zheng solved Fourth Brother with one slash and leaped into the forest, the forest had become quiet and silent.

Lu Zheng smiled slightly, and another Qi Seeking Talisman appeared in his hand.

In a tree hole, First Brother crouched inside, keeping his breathing as light as possible, not even daring to look outside, for fear of Lu Zheng sensing his gaze.

Damn it, what a newbie, I was deceived by this pretty boy, he's simply an old fox who's lived for decades! First Brother cursed in his heart.

From beginning to end, they had fallen into Lu Zheng's calculations.

He never intended to let us live, but he didn't want to kill us in the city, lest it cause a lawsuit.

Later, when we reported our background, it was exactly what he wanted, making us think he was afraid, so that we could leave with peace of mind, and then he would quietly sneak up and not let us die in his house.

As soon as he made a move, he crippled the legs of Third Brother and Fourth Brother, but he didn't touch me and Second Brother, just so that we could get out of the city and have to support each other, but instead drag each other down.

It's just that he doesn't know about the existence of Corpse Dissolving Powder, otherwise he would have killed us in the city.

No, that's not right, it wouldn't have happened, damn it, he even left that woman with a kind-hearted impression.

Just you wait, when I get back, I must report to the Hall Master and make you wish you were never born...

"Cha!"

The long blade directly pierced through the tree trunk, just piercing between his neck.

"Heh... heh..."

"Cha!"

The long blade was pulled away, First Brother reached out and covered his neck, his body fell softly, and all his strength seemed to be drawn away by the long blade.

The next moment, a little powder was sprinkled in from the tree hole, just falling into the blood flowing from First Brother's neck.

"Chi chi chi!"

A burst of smoke spread, and in just a moment, First Brother disappeared from this world
