Chapter 76: Ambush

Although Meng Lei refused to let him give it away, Zhao Ya was really worried about the master-disciple meeting.

So Zhao Ya got up before dawn the next day, but when he arrived at the escort office, the door was already locked.

There was a note under the door with three words written on it.

No need to send it.

Zhao Ya stood in front of the door for a long time holding the note, and finally returned sadly.

After returning home, Zui'er had already gotten up and saw Zhao Ya looking gloomy. Knowing that he was in a bad mood, he didn't say anything and just hurriedly made breakfast.

Today's breakfast is steamed buns.

When the steaming meat buns were brought to the table, Zhao Ya picked up one and was about to eat it when there was a sudden knock on the door outside.

"Who is it so early!"

Zui'er came to the courtyard with some doubts and heard Tan Dong's anxious voice coming from outside the door.

"Sister-in-law, is Brother Zhao here?"

"Ah, yes, yes!"

When Zui'er heard it was Tan Dong, he quickly opened the door.

Tan Dong trotted into the house, panting and said to Zhao Ya: "My dad... the letter my dad just asked someone to deliver is for you, saying it's urgent!"

Zhao Ya hurriedly took the letter, opened it and his expression suddenly changed.

The letter was written by Tan Ziwang, and its meaning was very simple.

That means Zhao Ya must keep Meng Lei and never let him leave alone.

Because according to what Tan Ziwang heard, the Hong family seemed to be interested in targeting Meng Lei and did not intend to let him go.

After reading it, Zhao Ya stood up without hesitation, picked up the saber and the application and rushed out.

Tan Dong also wants to follow.

Zhao Ya said: "You stay and wait for news."

"But……."

Before Tan Dong could finish speaking, Zhao Ya jumped up to the top of the wall, and then disappeared after a few jumps.

After leaving the city through the gap in the city wall, Zhao Ya identified the direction, and then chased along the official road.

At this time, his heart was on fire, and he could only hope that Meng Lei had not been ambushed by the Hong family.

But he also knew that this hope was extremely slim.

Since the Hong family plans to kill everyone and take action against Meng Lei, they will definitely make plans in advance.

Along with this anxiety, there is also murderous intention.

For the first time, Zhao Ya felt that his strength was growing so slowly. It would be great if he had the strength of the fourth realm or even the fifth realm at this time.

In that case, he could confront the Hard Steel Hong family and even eradicate them.

But it was useless to think about it at this time. Zhao Ya stepped on his feet and used his Qinggong and body skills to their full potential.

But after chasing for more than ten miles, Zhao Ya found no trace of Meng Lei.

Could it be that he was aware of it and left at midnight last night?

That would be great!

Zhao Ya comforted himself like this and ran forward for a few more miles, and then came to the outside of the farewell pavilion.

This is a place for people on the road to rest and sometimes it is also used to say goodbye, hence the name Farewell Pavilion.

But at this time, the pavilion had collapsed, and traces of fighting could be seen everywhere.

Not only that, there were stains of blood on the ground, extending into the woods.

Upon seeing this scene, Zhao Ya's heart sank, knowing that the worst case scenario had happened.

But Zhao Ya was not in a hurry to enter the woods. Instead, he covered his face with a black scarf, cocked his crossbow, and after making all preparations, he adjusted his breathing, entered a breath-holding state, and followed the blood stains into the woods.

The woods can be regarded as Zhao Ya's home field.

To others, the mountains and forests seemed complicated and full of dangers, but to Zhao Ya, they seemed to be at home like a fish in water.

His figure quickly shuttled through the mountains and forests, stopping from time to time to identify the traces on the ground.

After walking and stopping like this for about a stick of incense, Zhao Ya suddenly stopped.

Because he vaguely heard the sound of fighting.

Zhao Ya identified the direction, then used Qinggong and Shenfa, and ran towards the source of the sound.

At the same time, a brutal fight was going on in the mountains and forests.

Meng Lei was covered in blood, with several arrows stuck in his chest and abdomen. He suddenly reached back with one palm and hit the chest of a person who was planning a sneak attack.

With a click, the man's ribs were all broken, and he was violently shot out. He hit a big tree and died.

There were already seven or eight corpses lying on the ground.

Meng Lei's bravery frightened the remaining people, and for a moment they all cowered and did not dare to move forward.

Meng Lei gasped violently, and the blood on his body was both others' and his own.

At this time, he felt that his eyes were turning black, and his throat was a little fishy and sweet. He knew that he was at the end of his strength and had no strength to fight anymore.

Even so, his eyes were still as captivating as those of a tiger, staring intently at the warriors surrounding him.

"Do you, the Hong family, have to kill everyone?"

"Haha, Chief Guard Meng, I admit that I underestimated you before. I didn't expect that you are still so powerful with only one arm left. You can hurt several of my men. But the more you do this, the more you will die!"

Following the words, Yuan Zhiwen appeared in the distance, his eyes filled with cold murderous intent.

"After all, only dead warriors are good warriors. The Hong family cannot allow a third-level warrior like you with hatred to survive in the world."

As he spoke, he winked at his men.

"He's already dead. Get rid of him quickly. Whoever can cut off his head will be rewarded with ten taels of gold!"

Stimulated by the gold, these people's breathing became heavier, and then they rushed towards Meng Lei.

Meng Lei smiled bitterly, waved his palm and slapped the man who rushed in front, but this blow also made him stagger and almost fall to the ground.

Seeing this, these people's eyes lit up, and someone raised a spear and stabbed Meng Lei's heart.

Meng Lei barely dodged, but only spared the heart, and the spear still stabbed into his shoulder.

At the same time, someone chopped down with a knife, and the knife light went straight to Meng Lei's neck.

Meng Lei closed his eyes and prepared to die.

But at this moment, he heard two swishing sounds, and Meng Lei felt his cheeks warm and opened his eyes.

The man who raised the knife to chop himself had an arrow on his throat at this time, and was looking at the distance with his eyes wide open, full of surprise and despair.

At the same time, a knife light like a stream swept over, instantly chopped down two people, and then a masked man rushed in front of Meng Lei.

Meng Lei was stunned.

Zhao Ya didn't say anything. He cut off the spear stuck on Meng Lei's shoulder with a knife, dragged Meng Lei and left.

But at this time, a rain of arrows came, and then Yuan Zhiwen sneered.

"It's not that easy to leave! Since you want to save him, stay together!"

Zhao Ya waved the knife in his hand, deflected the arrows, protected Meng Lei behind him, and changed direction. He no longer went deep into the forest, but ran towards the direction of the archers.

Ding!

An arrow nailed on Zhao Ya's chest, but it made a crisp impact sound and then fell to the ground.

And Zhao Ya's move also made these archers agitated.

Once they get close, they will all be finished.
