Chapter 959: Sneak Attack!

The ride on the carriage was slightly bumpy but Lu Shu was able to continue the journey in a carefree manner.

Sun Zhongyang had a headache from seeing the words “when I see the money, I will be able to see your face”, especially when he saw Xu Mujun advance towards Lu Shu.

He did not understand why a beautiful and talented lady who had a lovely voice was entranced by a pretty boy?

Amongst the twelve people who travelled with Sun Zhongyang, there were five women and seven men. They had grown up together, attended lessons together, and was still in touch after they entered university. Although Mo Xiaoya and the rest were also extremely beautiful, he did not bear to do anything to them as they were too close.

Perhaps, one day, a marriage would be arranged between them. However, even after marriage, they would probably be extremely nice to each other as, after all, they were concerned about mutual benefits.

Therefore, even if they married each other, Sun Zhongyang would not feel as carefree as having a female slave.

“That brat is too greedy,” exclaimed Sun Zhongyang. He had told Mo Xiaoya earlier on that one should not use the excuse of morals to tie someone down. However, he could not endure it any further...

His owns words had slapped him in the face, Sun Zhongyang was slightly angry...

“Hehe, if you are not greedy, why would you betray the commander of the Wei Wu Army?” Someone sneered. “Should I kill him sometime later?”

At this moment, Sun Zhongyang shook his head. “He did not lie to us or betray us. Why do you want to kill him? Don’t be too evil!”

For some reason, when Sun Zhongyang said this, he felt that he over-exaggerated but he could not figure out what was wrong.

Along the way, the trade caravan did not make any more stops. The boss of the trade caravan completely ignored the city where they would usually stop by and make a transfer of their goods.

The trade caravan was left with the boss and his slaves, Lu Shu and Lu Xiaoyu, as well as the aristocrats of the palace.

Lu Shu made a joke about how the boss decided not to do any business. Even if he did not want to waste his time on the transfer of goods, he could have picked someone up along the way.

In the end, the boss shook his head. “What do you know, the sons and daughters of the aristocrats are spoilt. How would they know about the evilness of the world? It is extremely chaotic outside! The aristocrats held grudges against each other since thousands of years ago. If they were angry, they would probably not allow the children to return. How can I bear such a consequence? Even if we don’t talk about grudges between the aristocrats, do you think...”

At this moment, a buzz was heard from afar. Lu Shu looked over and saw a black dot flying from a distance away.

The boss of the trade caravan could not even react in time. Thankfully, Lu Shu had a fast reaction and pulled him to the side. After that, the boss of the trade caravan saw the thick and heavy arrow brush past his cheeks. The wind was so sharp that it hurt his cheeks!

At this moment, he saw Sun Zhongyang suddenly fly out from the carriage. The carriage turned into wooden shreds upon Sun Zhongyang’s impact.

In a blink of an eye, Sun Zhongyang had reached where Lu Shu and the boss of the trade caravan were. He stretched out his hand and crossed his index finger and middle finger, capturing the back of the arrow between his index fingers.

The arrow spun and flew right up into the sky as though it had eyes. Then, it landed in Lu Shu’s hands.

Lu Shu passed the arrow to Sun Zhongyang and Sun Zhongyang turned to ask the boss of the trade caravan, “Do you recognize this arrow?”

The arrow did not seem like one which anyone could use. The tip of the arrow was as thick as a baby’s fist and it was made from gold.

The boss of the trade caravan shook his head. “Although this object is not commonly seen, many of the homeless people and slaves are good at it. I cannot confirm who is using this. By right, when springing sneak attacks, one should not alarm one’s opponents and it would be best to kill him in one shot. However, the homeless people were afraid to die and always like to check out the situation of the team. If they find that it was hard to achieve their goals, they will retreat. They only do things which they are confident in. Now that you have attacked, they probably fled to a faraway place and will not appear again in a few years’ time.”

Sun Zhongyang frowned. “There are no Rank One experts amongst them?”

“Please do not chase after them. Another situation is...” The boss of the trade caravan was hesitant as he looked at Sun Zhongyang.

“Speak,” Sun Zhongyang said calmly.

“They may trick the disciples of the palace using this method. As the disciples of the palace are usually very proud and ambitious, some of them may fall for their trick and give chase, to be eventually surrounded and killed. Some of the homeless people are experts,” said the boss of the trade caravan cautiously. Basically, the homeless people looked down on the disciples of the palace as they felt that the disciples were too rash and overconfident.

However, that was the reality. The homeless people often succeeded and concealed the identity after their success. They would only emerge after all the clues related to them disappeared.

The history of the slaves could be traced back to a long time ago when the old King of Gods was still involved in battles. The threats left behind in those bloody fights included some of the slaves who were rather fierce and brutal.

Upon hearing that there were fierce slaves in the Luniverse, Lu Shu felt as though they acted like soldier recruits. How were they so daring to attack Sun Zhongyang?

“I wonder who they are targeting?” Sun Zhongyang was confused. There were twelve of them here and each of them could have possibly messed with these slaves. It was a fact that the aristocrats managed to rise after killing many lives.

However, Sun Zhongyang and the rest was daring enough to appear. If they were ordinary sons of the aristocrats, they would be silly if they did not bring any servants. However, Sun Zhongyang was not silly and had expected the situation as illustrated by the boss of the trade caravan long ago.

Meanwhile, the four Rank One individuals and eight Rank Two individuals had extremely terrifying skills too. They mentioned this matter before they came out and Sun Zhongyang wanted them to kill their enemies one after another.

That was how confident Sun Zhongyang and the rest were.

However, upon recalling about the scene earlier on, the boss of the trade caravan examined Lu Shu casually. As a Rank Two, he did not manage to react as the arrow was too fast. It was too late for them to dodge when they heard the sound. The arrow was faster than sound! A lot faster! When they heard the loud sound, the arrow had already reached the front of his face!

However, although the boss of the trade caravan did not react in time, Lu Shu managed to react. Initially, the boss of the trade caravan thought that Lu Shu was merely an insignificant practitioner and Sun Zhongyang and the rest joked that Lu Shu would be a useless guy even if he tried very hard to train.

Lu Shu realized that the bosses of the trade caravan were secretly examining him and smiled. “I will not pay for you to bring us along.”

The boss of the trade caravan felt speechless. Why was he still concerned about money at this point in time...
