Dragon's Origin
#395 - Hole Card (below)
Bang! Another person flew out, one of the two ordinary guards. Even in mid-air, he was already spitting blood, a very obvious depression in his chest.
The other ordinary guard, who had just stood behind the expert guard, finally revealed his true colors. Attacking from behind, the expert guard's full-body protective suit was useless; only an attack on the head and neck could be fatal. He chose a good angle and his sword was fast enough, piercing the cervical vertebrae with one strike, instantly killing the expert guard.
"Alright! Your sword is fast." The shopkeeper who had just spoken suddenly smiled, looking at the guard.
Not only this one shopkeeper, but at least five of them were now laughing heartily. One was the one who had been trembling and unable to hold his food, another was the one with a bruised face, foaming at the mouth, and unconscious, and another was the one who had been injured earlier and groaning. Now, they no longer needed to pretend and all laughed heartily.
The other shopkeepers who didn't laugh out loud all had smiles on their faces. Some even joked with each other.
"You fatso, your foaming at the mouth was so unnatural, almost giving you away, scaring me half to death."
"And you, your act of being scared was so unconvincing, you were even chattering your teeth, was it really that exaggerated?"
......
Before long, except for two of the injured who indeed had minor injuries, everyone else stood up, full of energy.
While everyone was joking around, the guard who had attacked had already added another strike to the neck of the guard he had knocked away, ensuring he would never have another chance. In dangerous situations, one must be especially cautious. Of course, he took all the belongings from the two corpses. Everyone carried supplies, which were essential for living in the Thousand Absolute Territory.
"Let's go, towards the place Lone Wolf mentioned, there's a safer place there." An older shopkeeper stood up and began to give orders.
The eldest shopkeeper was the oldest and had the highest status. With one word from him, everyone agreed without hesitation, quickly packing their things, and then carefully walked in the direction Wang Sheng had already hinted at, carrying their two injured companions. That direction was actually the direction the Flying Fox and his large team had searched before. Wang Sheng had discovered a safe hiding place during the previous day's search and had made a secret mark.
Everyone walked very carefully, trying their best not to step on any grass or trees and not leave any traces. The guard who had attacked carefully began to sweep up for everyone, doing some ingenious camouflage, so that at least when people looked over, they couldn't see that anyone had recently walked here. What everyone saw were just the traces left by Flying Fox and others yesterday.
How could the female owner, who had presided over the Baoqing Remaining Hall for so many years, be so easily dealt with? Not to mention the people around her, she had secretly cultivated a large number of loyal subordinates. Otherwise, she wouldn't have been able to bring the news to Wang Sheng. Otherwise, where would she have gotten the confidence to rely on the things in this ruin to make a comeback?
After Wang Sheng made everyone fall asleep that night, the female owner revealed her plan to Wang Sheng. As long as they could separate these shopkeepers from the large team, they could find a way to escape, as long as they were given a safe place to stay.
The previous arrangement was made for all of this. Including deliberately wasting time, deliberately turning back, etc., was to wait for the opportunity to point out the direction of the safe hiding place to everyone.
Wang Sheng knew the importance of these loyal shopkeepers to the female owner, even more important than the highly skilled guards, so no matter what, he had to give them a safe haven.
After walking less than five miles, the eldest shopkeeper saw the secret mark Wang Sheng had agreed upon with them, and then carefully turned in that direction. It was still the last guard who carefully swept up, erasing the traces. If someone were to track them, they would definitely follow the direction of the previous team's search without hesitation, and would not notice that there was a fork in the road in this dense forest.
At that time, no one noticed that Wang Sheng had slightly turned aside when he was on the road. Maybe Black Snake noticed, but this did not hinder his arrangement to assassinate Wang Sheng, so even if he saw it, he wouldn't say it. The time Wang Sheng disappeared was also very short. When everyone reacted, Wang Sheng had already appeared, so naturally no one would feel that there was anything wrong.
When the eldest shopkeeper turned a corner along that rugged path, he saw the mark Wang Sheng had left on the tree, the arrow pointing upwards. Looking up, the eldest shopkeeper immediately understood.
This was a big tree, the branches above were very high and wide enough. As long as they got up there and arranged it a little, it would be a hidden and safe haven.
The group immediately took action and climbed up nimbly. After going up, the eldest shopkeeper realized that Wang Sheng had also left ten storage rings on the branches of that big tree, all filled with food and water.
After everyone settled down, the eldest shopkeeper finally breathed a sigh of relief. Only then did he have time to sigh.
Wang Sheng, such an expert who can come and go freely in the Thousand Absolute Territory, did the new owner of Baoqing Remaining Hall have water in his head or what? Just because he didn't take the initiative to curry favor with him, he wanted to find ways to suppress and kill him. Compared with the female owner, the new owner and the big owner of Baoqing Remaining Hall are simply not worth mentioning. This is also why the eldest shopkeeper is so loyal to the female owner.
After everyone had rested, the eldest shopkeeper found the only guard and ordered, "Lone Wolf said that there won't be any deadly poisonous insects in the place we've walked for at least five days. Go back to the water vein and send a signal to let our people come and meet us."

The guard nodded and was about to do so, but the eldest shopkeeper suddenly grabbed him: "Remember, if the situation is not right, leave immediately. If you can't escape, take the kind of pill that disguises poisoning." The hand holding the guard's arm tightened, and he added another sentence: "In short, saving your life comes first, understand?"
"I understand!" The guard nodded heavily, then carefully slid down the tree and groped along the original road towards the water vein palace.
Watching the guard disappear into the dense forest, the eldest shopkeeper also sighed heavily. This time, whether the young lady can make a comeback depends on this. However, as long as the eldest young lady and Wang Sheng stand on the same side, there is an absolute chance. He is an insider. Wang Sheng has thousands of ideas for businesses like white sugar and refined salt, and even without the things in the ruins, he can still build another Baoqing Remaining Hall in a short time.
Unfortunately, although the eldest young lady looks weak and charming, she is also a stubborn person in her bones. She seems to want to prove something to Wang Sheng, silly child.
