I began to understand the myriad things by chopping wood

Chapter 102 There is a mole

Xie Yuan’s face turned pale. He dropped the axe, sat on the ground, and spat out a mouthful of blood.

Today I had three and four training sessions in a row. Even though I only paid half or even a small part of my attention to this, it still felt uncomfortable.

However, seeing that Boss Song was dead, Xie Yuan finally breathed a sigh of relief.

He supported himself on the ground with his hands and leaned back slightly. He saw Zhao Xingyang sitting on the ground opposite him. He looked at him and nodded slightly.

If Xie Yuan hadn't tacitly added a killing move, and if Boss Song had really blocked or avoided Zhao Xingyang's fatal blow, I'm afraid no one would have been able to stop him. Not only could they not stop him from escaping, but when Zhao Xingyang lost his fighting power, maybe he wouldn't have to escape anymore, and the situation would have changed.

Zhao Xingyang was not willing to let Boss Song escape, and he was determined to keep him there. Although it was a bit dangerous, he had seen Xie Yuan's performance today, so he believed that he had the ability and reaction to help him. And Xie Yuan did not disappoint him, and it was the perfect response.

In this way, the blood feud was avenged on the spot.

Zhao Xingyang looked up at the sky, slowly exhaled, and two blood marks appeared on his face.

The escorts who were still able to stand were also exhausted, but they still split into two sides. One side hurriedly helped Zhao Xingyang up, treated his wounds and fed him medicine, while the other side took care of Xie Yuan, but was surprised to find that although his body was covered in red, he had few wounds.

The blood belonged to the enemy. When Xie Yuan swung his axe, few people could get close to him. With the protection of the Golden Bell, he was hardly injured. The real injury was the internal injury caused by the two bandit leaders. His internal organs were shaken, and he needed to rest for a while after the two full-strength three-axe blows.

Xie Yuan was helped up by several of his companions. He waved his hand to indicate that he was fine, moved to Zhao Xingyang's side, and looked at his injuries with everyone else.

Zhao Xingyang shook his head and said:

"I'm not going to die, I'm just a little exhausted."

"I'm afraid it's not just exhaustion... Boss Zhao broke through in the battle and displayed his divine power, which is how he killed the bandit leader."

Xie Yuan said.

I just don't know how I will recover from my injuries if I force myself like this, and whether it will affect my future path.

Of course, in that situation, there was no way to take care of the future. Zhao Xingyang was determined to kill Boss Song at the risk of his life, so being alive would be a blessing.

Zhao Xingyang closed his eyes slightly:
"If you really have divine power, you shouldn't have lost so many brothers, and you shouldn't have been unable to save Xiao Linzi and the others..."

Everyone looked a little gloomy.

Seeing this, Zhao Xingyang took a breath and forced himself to cheer up:
"That's all. If I rely on myself, I'm afraid I will be completely wiped out in the end. Xiao Xie, this comeback is thanks to you. Your strength is really beyond my comprehension."

Zhao Xingyang was deeply moved, and the other escorts also looked at Xie Yuan with strange eyes.

He killed a third-level cultivator with one strike and entered the bandit group as easily as mowing grass, but his cultivation level was clearly only at the second level... This little Xie's strength could not be judged by common sense at all.

Everyone came forward and patted Xie Yuan, not knowing whether it was to thank him or to get a taste of his magic.

Looking at the mixed gazes of admiration, gratitude, and surprise from the crowd, Xie Yuan laughed and said modestly:
"They all have sharp axes and rely on the cheapness of weapons."

Everyone looked at his axe and nodded.

They could see that this axe was indeed extremely powerful and of excellent quality. Not only was it powerful and heavy, and its edge was extremely cold, killing the enemy as soon as it touched it, but after a bloody battle, there was not even a tiny crack on it. It was truly a magical weapon, which made the escorts who dealt with weapons all day long envious. If everyone had this axe, Xie Yuan would not have needed to come to the rescue today.

After the actual combat, Xie Yuan was also impressed that this Moon Slashing Axe was more useful than he had imagined, and the Moon Slashing Axe Technique was also quite powerful. It seemed that he owed Situ Qin a big favor. Zhao Xingyang smiled faintly:
"I've said before that Xiao Xie is precocious and has 'great wisdom'."

Those who knew the origin of the axe laughed in good faith, and Xie Yuan could only laugh dryly.

"But the axe is sharp, and the man is even sharper. Otherwise, it would be like a pearl covered in dust, and there would be no such effect."

Zhao Xingyang nodded, then lowered his voice:

"Take me down to have a look."

Everyone's mood became heavy, and they all went down the hill together. Then the escort who stayed behind to count the items reported:

"Boss, our brothers died in the battle... Fourteen of them died in the battle, and five of them are seriously injured and unable to move. We must find a doctor immediately. Including Xiao Linzi and the others, we have lost twenty brothers this time..."

Zhao Xingyang's face turned pale. He tightly grasped the hand of the person next to him. He looked around and found that there were less than ten people still standing.

He said in a hoarse voice:
"Take good care of the brothers. Don't stay here. We will take them home."

"Boss, have we returned to Yunzhao?"

"No, let's keep going. Not far from the Leigong River is Xianglin Town. We will... stop at the charity cemetery there first, see a doctor for the seriously injured brother, and then continue to escort the escort to Wuli Village. We haven't lost, and we haven't died. Since we have accepted the escort, of course we have to deliver it."

Zhao Xingyang touched the intact escort box beside him and said lightly.

Everyone nodded, and those who were lightly injured divided the work among themselves, cleaning the battlefield and repairing the carriages. Then one person with enough energy was sent to ride to Xianglin Town in front to borrow people and carriages to come and provide support.

The people from the car dealership came here and looked at the corpses on the ground. They were all trembling and silent. After loading all the people and escorts onto the car and packing up, the escort team set sail again. When they arrived at the Leigong River, they stood in silence for a long time before crossing the bridge to Xianglin Town to rest.

Xie Yuan walked to the front carriage and whispered to Zhao Xingyang:

"Boss Zhao, no one in Wuli Village knew that Mr. Chang was going to escort the convoy back home. I feel something is wrong. This time, we were tricked..."

"I know."

Zhao Xingyang closed his eyes and lowered his voice so that only Xie Yuan could hear:
"Besides, he is from the escort agency."

Xie Yuan nodded silently; he had a vague premonition.

These bandits ambushed in such a precise and well-placed place that even the battlefield seemed to have been pre-selected, making it difficult for the escort team to escape.

If no one tipped off the bandits, it means that they had a strong intelligence network and spies and would have discovered the situation along the way and ambushed them in advance.

But looking at their dispatch and command, how could they have such a level? How could they reach out from Jigong Mountain to the escort team that deliberately avoided the bandit camp? It has happened twice.

Nine times out of ten, there is a traitor.

"Thinking back on the previous escort missions and the time you were intercepted last time, I'm afraid someone leaked the information. But I never thought about it before. The escort agency has been established for many years and has always been harmonious... Until this time, the purpose of the man surnamed Song was too strong and he didn't hide it at all. I'm afraid he didn't think we could leave."

Zhao Xingyang's voice was faint, revealing unspeakable emotions inside, like sadness, anger, and pain, all five feelings combined together, just bitterness.
