Chapter 303: The Parchment, the Reason for Being Hunted
"Okay, Lu will definitely do what he says."
Lu Jing promised in a low voice, and soon the noise outside became louder and louder, proving that those people were getting closer.
"There's a cave here!"
As soon as these words were spoken, some scattered people around gathered together instantly, staring at the covered cave with burning eyes.
Shen Li frowned. Their accents sounded strange and they didn't seem to be from Beiyan.
I thought about using my mental power to check the faces of these people and found that they had some features of a foreign race and were all relatively short. Although the clothes they wore were from here, the shoes they wore and the way they walked had never been seen in Beiyan.
So, these people are Gentiles?
It’s a pity that An San is not here, otherwise he would have been knowledgeable and experienced following Pei Yu, and he would definitely know where these people came from.
Originally, An San was going to follow Shen Li. After all, he had received orders from his master to protect Shen Li.
But Shen Li sternly refused and asked him to stay in the Shen family to protect her family.
Originally An San didn't agree, but Shen Li said that if he didn't obey her orders, he didn't have to stay with her.
When An San heard this, he did not hesitate any longer and decided to stay in the Shen family. If he was sent back, he would not be able to explain to his master.
"Go and see."
The noise below brought Shen Li back to her senses. Two people nearby lit torches and walked into the cave. Before they got close, more than a dozen stones flew out of the cave and shot towards the people outside the cave.
The people outside seemed to have been prepared. Except for the two people at the entrance of the mountain cave who had no way to escape, the others had already retreated.
"Sigh~"
"Go ahead, we can't let them get away this time!"
One of them gave the order and the others quickly surrounded the cave.
Everyone in the cave also came out, but Lu Jing and the other two were still hiding in the cave.
Their original plan was to wait for Guo Xin to lure the people outside, and then he would escape with the other two people.
It's a pity that these people are not stupid. They surrounded the entrance of the cave tightly. It took a lot of effort to get out of the cave, let alone break out of the encirclement.
The two sides were originally equally strong, but they could not withstand the other side's large numbers, and they lost several brothers, and were increasingly at a disadvantage.
Seeing that they were at a disadvantage, Shen Li took out a bow and a dozen arrows from the space, and shot the arrows in one go.
"Hey~"
One arrow took one person's life, and then a few more arrows took away three unsuspecting people.
"Be careful, someone is attacking."
Guo Xin breathed a sigh of relief. Although he didn't know who was helping them, this was a good thing, wasn't it?
"Someone is helping us, let's give it a try and let them solve it."
Only in this way can they have peace for a few days, or at least do the cleanup work so that they can't find where the things and people are.
Lu Jing in the cave heard this, stuffed the things into his arms and hid them carefully, and said to the two people beside him: "Let's go out and help too."
"it is good."
The three of them went out together to join the battle, and with the help of Shen Li, they quickly eliminated the thirty people at the lowest cost.
There were people who wanted to escape along the way, but they were all tripped by Shen Li's wood-related ability. They thought they had encountered a ghost wall, and they fell to the ground screaming and screaming, but they couldn't run away from this place.
It also shocked Lu Jing, Guo Xin and his group, who thought for a moment that they were crazy.
Guo Xin and Lu Jing bowed in the direction from which the arrow came. "I wonder which expert helped us. Could you please come out to see us so that we can express our gratitude?"
Of course, one has to leave one's name when helping others. She is not the kind of person who does good deeds without leaving a name.
She took the bow and arrow in her hand and jumped off the tree. In the dark night, Lu Jing didn't see her face clearly, but he felt a sense of familiarity.
It was not until Shen Li walked under the moonlight that his eyes suddenly widened in disbelief, and the words came out of his mouth.
"Ali, why are you here?"
"It's you, little brother!"
At the same time, Guo Xin also spoke in surprise, and then the two turned to look at each other and asked at the same time: "Do you know each other?"
Shen Li walked closer and greeted Lu Jing, "Ah Jing, long time no see."
Lu Jing had stopped looking at Guo Xin a long time ago. He turned his head to look at her, his eyes a little red, but no one noticed.
Shen Li noticed it and sighed inwardly, he is still a child after all.
"How will you be here?"
Shen Li looked around and said, "This is not the place to talk. We'll talk more later."
Guo Xin also said, "Yes, Master Lu, this is not the place to talk. Let's find a safe place first."
"it is good."
They quickly found a secluded place under the cover of night, and everyone was considerate enough not to disturb the two from reminiscing about the past.
"Ali, why are you here?"
Lu Jing still had the same question. He wanted to know why Shen Li, who was supposed to be in Qingxi County, was here and even involved in this matter.
He had seen Shen Li dressed like this before, so he recognized her at a glance.
"I have to go to Yizhou for something, and I didn't expect to meet you here."
The key point is that Lu Jing was also involved in this matter. At first, Shen Li thought that Lu Jing was implicated by Guo Xin and others' affairs, but she didn't expect that their roles were reversed.
"I went out to sea for the past six months and found a wooden box on an island country. Since then, I have been hunted by people. Later, I found a way to pry open the wooden box and found out that it was because of the things inside."
"Island country?"
Shen Li's attention was not attracted by the things in the wooden box. I was attracted by the island country he mentioned.
Lu Jing nodded, "It's an island, surrounded by sea water. I couldn't understand what they were saying. Later, I asked a veteran from a merchant ship that goes out to sea all year round to understand what they were saying."
Seeing that Shen Li was not curious about what he said, a faint smile flashed across Lu Jing's eyes. As expected, this was Shen Li's personality.
"Can you take me with you next time?"
"Yes, but I won't be going out to sea any time soon."
Shen Li shook her head. "It's okay. There's no rush anyway."
"Okay, by the way, how did you get to know Young Master Guo and the others?"
"When I was staying at the inn before, I saw them being ambushed and was implicated in the incident, so I helped them."
"Oh it's you."
He had heard about it from Guo Xin and the others, but he didn't expect that the 'little brother' he was talking about was actually Ali.
Sure enough, Shen Li is his benefactor!
He took out a parchment scroll from his arms and handed it to Shen Li, "A Li, take a look."
"Row."
Since he asked her to read it, she didn't hesitate and took the parchment scroll directly, opened it and read it. After reading it, Shen Li was silent for a while, which was unusual.
"This thing just came into your hands?"
After a long while, he finally managed to utter these words.
