Survival rules for restaurants: cooking and eating melons at the same time

With no other choice, everyone could only keep retreating. Gu Qingyun kept holding his breath and concentrating. The team composed entirely of secret guards was fine, but the key protected targets could not stay still without making any noise.

The Wubang soldiers were probably afraid of being trapped, so their voices were so soft and quiet that they were almost inaudible.

Gu Qingyun held his breath and listened attentively to the movements around him. His eyes were fixed straight ahead, as if they could penetrate the endless darkness.

At this moment, time seemed to have stopped flowing, everything became extremely quiet, even the wind seemed to be under a spell, silent and silent.

Every breath seemed as long as a century to Gu Qingyun. His heartbeat was clearly audible, which was particularly abrupt in the silent atmosphere. He did not dare to relax at all, for fear of missing any slight sound. Because he knew very well that even the slightest negligence could lead to irreversible consequences.

The footsteps were getting closer and closer, and everyone kept moving behind them, but it seemed to be useless.

Then an obscure word broke the silence of the night sky. The sun had already set completely.

He was discovered, but by the time he realized he was discovered it was too late.

Countless arrows rushed into the woods like sharp swords, and now we had no choice but to fight back.

"Everyone, go."

Gu Qingyun shouted, and all the secret guards, including Xinhai and Gu Qingyun, rushed out of their hiding place together, while the two young ladies still hid in the woods and dared not make any movement.

In an instant, the originally silent forest suddenly fell into chaos and fierce fighting!

Gu Qingyun leaped forward like lightning, pouncing on the enemy like an agile cheetah. His movements were as fast as the wind, making it almost impossible to see his figure clearly.

With his fierce pounce, a dull "thump" sound was heard, and a Wubang soldier was instantly knocked to the ground, and he lost consciousness before he even had time to scream. At the same time, the other secret guards also showed amazing reaction speed and combat quality.

Without hesitation, they drew out all kinds of weapons they carried with them - some held long swords, the blades flashing with cold light; some held long spears tightly, the tips of the spears were like poisonous snakes spitting out their tongues; others were brandishing two swords, the sword shadows intertwined and dazzling...

The entire forest was filled with the flashing of swords and the shadows of sabers, and the sounds of shouting and metal clashing resounded through the sky.

A strong and pungent smell of blood spread rapidly like a plague, enveloping the entire forest, as if forming a layer of dark red blood mist.

The bloody smell was so thick that it was nauseating, and even made breathing difficult.

As for how many people were killed here, Gu Qingyun no longer knew.

Weapons and armor were scattered all over the ground, as well as some unknown hidden weapons, now lying quietly in the woods.

Gu Qingyun called on everyone to get on the carriage quickly. Fortunately, although there was a melee just now, because of Gu Qingyun's command, everyone moved forward for a distance and the horses were not overly frightened.

"We can't stay here for long. I don't know if there are any reinforcements behind us. Let's go."

Everyone gradually got on the carriage, and the secret guards who were originally on horseback also returned to the darkness.

Madam Rong seemed to have returned to her frightened state, and she was completely confused. Gu Qingyun had no choice but to help her get into the carriage.

But at this moment, a "corpse" on the ground suddenly slowly raised the arrow in his hand and shot at Madam Rong.

It's too late, it's faster than that!

At that critical moment, Gu Qingyun reacted quickly like a conditioned reflex without any thought. He moved sideways and stood in front of Madam Rong without hesitation, as if all this was a subconscious action.

In an instant, a sharp arrow whistled and shot straight towards them with a sharp sound of wind.

However, due to Gu Qingyun's timely blocking, the arrow finally and ruthlessly pierced his shoulder.

A sharp pain suddenly came over him, as if being burned by fire, and Gu Qingyun could not help but let out a low groan.

Gu Qingyun endured the pain, he turned his head suddenly, his eyes as sharp as torches, fixed on the man who shot the arrow.

At the same time, he waved his right hand, a cold light flashed, and the dagger in his sleeve was unsheathed.

He flashed and rushed towards the man at lightning speed, and the hidden sword in his hand drew a graceful and deadly arc in the air.

The man was already on his deathbed and no longer had the ability to resist.

With a light "puff" sound, the extremely sharp hidden blade pierced the opponent's throat accurately, and blood splattered everywhere. The man didn't even have time to scream before he fell to the ground and died.

Everyone heard the noise outside. Xinhai jumped off the carriage, feeling extremely guilty for a moment. He was supposed to be Gu Qingyun's personal bodyguard, and the arrow should have hit him.

"Master!"

Gu Qingyun waved his hand and said in a low voice, "Everyone, get on the carriage quickly. We have to leave quickly."

Lian Xiaopingzi couldn't help but ask after lifting the curtain, "Are you really okay? How about taking care of it before leaving?"

Gu Qingyun endured the pain, waved his hand, and jumped into the carriage.

The Wubang people are good at using poison. Gu Qingyun didn’t even know whether the arrow was poisonous or not. He only knew that his entire shoulder was in excruciating pain.

After getting on the carriage, Xinhai, with red eyes, gently lifted a corner of Gu Qingyun's clothes with trembling hands.

When he saw the shocking wound, his eyes instantly turned red, as if blood would drip out.

Since the moment they joined the ranks of the secret guards, their master told them that the master's life is their life.

Their lives may be lost, but the lives of their masters must not.

A successful secret guard must always protect the life of his master until the moment of his death.

Gu Qingyun had never suffered such a serious injury since he was a child, and Xinhai's guilt reached its peak at this moment.

Gu Qingyun's clothes were already stained with blood, and the wounds were still oozing blood.

Xinhai took a deep breath, trying to calm himself down, then took out some clean cloths and wound medicine from the package he carried with him.

He carefully wetted a piece of cloth with clean water and gently wiped the blood around the wound. Every time he wiped, he felt that the arrow would be better shot at himself.

Looking at Gu Qingyun's pale face and closed eyes, Xinhai couldn't help but burst into tears.

"Young Master..." Xin Haibian said while cleaning the wound, choking with sobs, his voice full of heartache and worry.

But Gu Qingyun was already drowsy at this time, and he could hardly hear Xinhai's voice.
