An assassin? Call me the Master of Raising Prices!

Since leaving the capital, the carriage has been running intermittently for two days. Basically, we traveled during the day and rested at night. Despite this, we were still exhausted after two days.

If we regard this as a long journey, then the first day is mostly driven by the novelty, and we are full of energy and even a little excited. After the second day, this emotion will turn into boredom and fatigue. After all, the novelty has passed, and there is no beautiful scenery on the road with white snow.

Although there are warriors in the carriage, long-term loneliness is the norm, but the journey without even changing colors still makes everyone feel tired.

When it was completely dark, the carriage stopped and hung up the lantern, and did not intend to move forward. After all, people were just bored and tired, but the horses pulling the carriage were really tired.

"In another day or two, we will reach Xing'an Mountains. You all have to bear with it. The boring journey is really helpless." Lu Wenyu got off the carriage and ordered the servants to build a bonfire, saying in a tired tone.

All the people who got off the carriage nodded to show their understanding. After all, they were going to fight to the death, not to take office. It was good to have a carriage. Could it be that they wanted to be carried in a sedan chair?

Zhao didn't even want to get off the carriage. He wrapped his cotton coat tightly, lifted the curtain and looked around. This has always been Zhao's habit. Once he arrived at a place he was not familiar with, he would first familiarize himself with the surrounding environment in order to plan escape and avoidance routes.

It's always better to be cautious, especially for a profession that licks blood on the tip of a knife.

The surroundings were covered with snow, and the mountains on both sides were bare, showing signs of withering and decay. Although the surroundings were almost exactly the same except for the terrain, Zhao still looked at it with interest for half a quarter of an hour before getting off the carriage.

Ignoring the people who were warming themselves by the fire, Zhao walked up the slope in a cotton robe. He stepped firmly with each step, carefully feeling the thickness of the snow. After walking on the left, he switched to the right and carefully felt the difference.

After walking slowly for a quarter of an hour, Zhao Jue pulled his feet out of the snow and walked back with one foot deep and one foot shallow. Sitting next to Lu Wenyu who was warming himself by the fire, he smiled and joked, "Why do you stop here? It's not easy to run if you get attacked."

"Run? We are all martial artists who have entered the rank, why run? After practicing martial arts for more than ten years, you have become a turtle?" Although Lu Wenyu had no expression on his face, he was in a good mood and had the leisure to tease Zhao Jue beside him.

"Fifth Master is unparalleled in power and heroic." Zhao Jue seemed to be flattering, but in fact he was joking.

Lu Wenyu, wrapped in a cloak, opened his hands and concentrated on warming the fire, and did not intend to pay attention to Zhao Jue who liked to take advantage of others. Zhao Jue was bored by himself. After eating a few cold steamed buns and drinking a bowl of hot soup, he couldn't wait to return to the carriage and take a nap wrapped in a cotton robe.

The sky was still dark, and it was snowing heavily, and there was no moon at all. The fire on the ground had been extinguished long ago, and the carriage was unharnessed, allowing the horses to rest.

On the hillside in the distance, several men in black carrying quivers walked out of the darkness. The leader nodded to the people behind him and said softly, "Leave after shooting arrows, don't think about killing people. There is a grandmaster sitting in the carriage. Consider whether you can escape from the grandmaster's hands."

"Understood." Several people exchanged glances. Although they were a little unwilling in their hearts, they still knew their own weight and nodded and stopped talking.

In the front carriage, Lu Wenyu slightly raised the corners of his mouth, and his closed eyes had no desire to open. He just turned his head slightly in the direction of the men in black, and then returned to normal.

The night was deep, and the heavy snow gradually became much smaller. If you count the time, it was already the beginning of the Yin hour. The men in black on the hillsides on both sides paused and dared not make even the slightest sound.

Halfway through the Yin hour, the black-clad men on both sides stopped almost at the same time. After exchanging glances, they bent their bows and pointed arrows at the carriage down the slope.

After a round of arrow rain, they hurriedly drew their bows. After several people quickly shot all the arrows in the quiver, they turned around and ran without looking back.

In the carriage, Lu Wenyu had already opened his eyes when several people approached, and his true energy was released like water. He opened the curtain with an angry face and ran into the rain of arrows. People got off the other carriages one after another, and each of them released their true energy to knock down the flying arrows. In less than a moment, dozens or even hundreds of arrows were densely placed on the ground.

Lu Wenyu's face was gloomy, and his true energy was running. When he was about to get up and chase, he suddenly frowned, restrained his true energy, and turned his head to stare at the hillside.

Behind a dead tree on the hillside, a man with a unique hair bun of an alien race and wearing a fur robe paused, his aura gradually calmed down, and he squinted his eyes and stared at Lu Wenyu down the slope.

"Lu Wenyu is still the same Lu Wenyu, with a terrifying aura." The man murmured in a low voice, retracted his outstretched hand into his robe, shook off the snow on his body, and disappeared in just a moment. There was not even a footprint on the snow, as if the man had never been here.

When the sound outside disappeared, Zhao Jue got off the carriage. Just when he sensed a strange and majestic aura, he was about to go out to take a look, and then he saw Lu Wenyu standing in the snow.

"What's going on? These people came here in the middle of the night just to shoot a few rounds of arrows?" Zhao Jue kicked the arrow at his feet, his expression was absent.

"It's just harassment and temptation." Lu Wenyu lowered his eyebrows and said helplessly.

Zhao Jue turned his head to look at Lu Wenyu, "Probing? The master on the hillside?"

"Yes." Lu Wenyu nodded. Although this method can't see people, it is effective. The grandmaster came to test, as long as the grandmaster was not accompanying him, he would kill him directly. If a grandmaster accompanies you, it will become harassment, with a round of arrows coming from time to time. Whether it has any effect or not is another matter, but it is good if it can disrupt your mentality.

You know, the fighting skills of the same level are secondary. As long as the gap between the two sides is not big, the mentality is often the final competition.

"It's just a not-so-bright method, just as annoying as the insects flying around and buzzing in front of you."

As Lu Wenyu said, his face became more annoyed, and he lowered his head and got into the carriage. Faced with such a self-deprecating method, he didn't have any good ideas. Fortunately, the journey was not long and it would take another day or two to arrive.

Seeing Lu Wenyu leave, Zhao smiled to himself. It seemed that both sides didn't even want to do the superficial work. This is good. If the method is clean and fair, how can I make this money?

The more Zhao didn't take it into consideration, the more he liked it. It's about making money, no matter if it's dark or not.

Thinking of this, Zhao reached out to catch a few snowflakes, rubbed his hands and got into the carriage. With Lu Wenyu here, he didn't worry about anything. If Lu Wenyu couldn't stand it, then there was no need to worry, he would definitely die!

Nothing happened overnight, and the carriage drove as usual the next day, as if nothing had happened.

Two days passed in a hurry, and there were several rounds of arrow rain every night. The rest of the people were annoyed, but Zhao plugged his ears and slept without being disturbed by thunder. Anyway, he couldn't hurt himself, so he might as well sleep peacefully.

After two days of traveling, they finally arrived at their destination. The tents that had been set up early were guarded by soldiers. When they saw the carriage coming, the man dressed as a general came forward to salute.

"Commander Lu, you are finally here. I have been waiting for so long."
