Chapter 44 Recognizing Su Luo
"Who?! Who is it?!"
Manager Cui was thrown into chaos, and the remaining nine guards of the Marquis's residence also became alert, their faces filled with shock.
They were seasoned veterans who had never been defeated in countless battles, and they could already foresee that this might be a trap...
In this situation, a single stray arrow could still cause them to bleed!
What's happening here? !
too fast!
And it's too intense!
This black, lightning-fast arrow far exceeded their understanding of arrows, its speed almost surpassing the speed of sound!
A smile appeared on Su Luo's face. It seemed that Ye Hu and the others had arrived!
The composite crossbow is top-notch in both speed and power. Its only drawback is that it cannot travel too far, but at close range, it can even kill a bear!
What about these so-called personal guards of the Marquis's mansion?!
"Hey Luo, what are you doing?!"
Manager Cui angrily retorted, "Are you setting me up?! Do you know who's behind me?"
Su Luo scoffed, "Weren't you so righteous just now? How come you've changed your tune now, Manager Cui!"
"These ten of you, are you the Marquis's personal guards? You look rather familiar!"
Manager Cui was stunned for a moment upon hearing this, then his body trembled: "You, what do you mean?!"
Whoosh!
Whizzing!
At that moment, several more black lightning bolts pierced the sky and arrived!
"careful!"
The nine guards of the Marquis's mansion reacted quickly and tried to dodge, but they were no match for the crossbow bolts!
In the blink of an eye, two more guards fell to the ground!
Manager Cui lost his composure and cried out in a panic, "Run! Run! Protect me, run!"
At that moment, he caught sight of Tan Xing out of the corner of his eye. Tan Xing was standing behind Su Luo with a smug smile on his face.
Manager Cui's eyes were bloodshot, and he shouted at the top of his lungs, "Tan Xing, it's you!"
"You betrayed me! You damned thing, how dare you! I'll skin you alive and tear you apart, I'll make you wish you were dead!"
Tan Xing chuckled, his face gradually contorting into a grimace: "Betrayal?! Manager Cui, didn't you betray me first?!"
"Do you really think I don't know that you've already arranged for your concubine's brother to take my place... I'm offering you the Snowflake Salt to help you achieve your goal!"
"And then you actually tried to kick me away!"
"You bastard surnamed Cui, you dare to talk to me about betrayal?!"
He grew angrier as he spoke, and looked at Su Luo: "Young Master Luo, please lend me a knife. I want to personally kill this bastard later!"
Upon hearing this, Su Luo glanced at him, a glint of light flashing in her eyes!
Tan Xing is truly a talented individual!
He killed him with his own hands not only to vent his anger, but also to hand over his own weaknesses to Su Luo!
In this way, he and Su Luo are now completely bound together!
After this is all over, there's no way he'll betray Su Luo again... unless he wants to die!
Su Luo smiled and said, "Don't worry, I will definitely give you that opportunity!"
Manager Cui gritted his teeth and roared, "You scoundrels, you think you can kill me with your own hands?! Wishful thinking!"
"My men are the personal guards of the Marquis's mansion. Even if they cannot defeat you, can't they at least escape?!"
"Come on, take me with you!"
He looked at the remaining guards of the Marquis's mansion and ordered, "After we leave, ask the Marquis for permission to send men to...crush these two bastards to pieces!"
"Tan Xing, especially you bastard, how dare you betray me! Just you wait!"
"I'll make you wish you were dead!"
As he spoke, several guards from the Marquis's residence escorted him away.
Tan Xing suddenly became anxious, "Young Master Luo, we can't let them get away..."
Su Luo smiled faintly: "Run?!"
They can't escape!
After saying that, he took out a compound crossbow from his backpack, nocked an arrow, and fired!
Whoosh!
The arrow actually pierced through the crowd and struck Manager Cui directly in the back. He cried out in pain and fell to the ground!
Su Luo pierced through his shoulder blade, and blood gushed out!
Immediately, Zhang Daqiang and the others also took out their composite crossbows and shot at the marquis's personal guards!
Those guards from the Marquis's residence were filled with grief and indignation. If they were in an open area, they would indeed be no match for Zhang Daqiang and his men, given their exceptional skills!
However, this is in a forest, and the enemy is still firing arrows at us from the shadows!
Meanwhile, Zhang Daqiang and the others were also shooting arrows... They didn't even have a chance to get close to Su Luo!
In less than half an incense stick's time, all ten of the Marquis's personal guards were shot dead!
Steward Cui survived, but his shoulder blade was pierced by Su Luo's crossbow bolt. He lay on the ground struggling, his face full of fear and disbelief.
"You, you... how is this possible?! Those are the Marquis's personal guards!"
Manager Cui was stunned. "Even if they can't win, how could they not escape?!"
At that moment, Su Luo had already drawn a long sword and handed it to Tan Xing.
His smile was playful. Tan Xing took a deep breath and took the knife, its blade gleaming with a blinding cold light.
Manager Cui shuddered, staring at Tan Xing, his voice stern yet burning with malice: "Tan Xing, you dare?!"
"You really want to rebel, don't you?!"
"You have some nerve! Do you even know who I am?!"
"I am the steward of the Marquis's mansion. The First Madam regards me as a confidant, and the Marquis is willing to lend me his personal guards... If I die, the Marquis will definitely not let you off the hook!"
Tan Xing grinned and plunged the knife into Steward Cui's thigh with a thud: "The Marquis won't let me go?!"
"No, the Marquis will never know that I killed you... Moreover, the Marquis will not investigate your death, because Snowflake Salt is far more important than you!"
Upon hearing this, Steward Cui's pupils contracted sharply, and he understood!
Su Luo and Tan Xing had already reached a deal: Su Luo could supply snowflake salt in the long term, so that Tan Xing would not be blamed by the Marquis.
On the contrary, they might gain the Marquis's favor!
Having served Su Changsheng for many years, how could he not know that in Su Changsheng's eyes, the lives of servants were worthless, and nothing was more important than personal gain?
Whoever can bring in profits... will be highly valued!
Manager Cui screamed in agony, but before he could react, Tan Xing drew his long knife and stabbed it into his other leg.
At that moment, Manager Cui was drenched in sweat and tears, his entire body soaked in blood.
"Tan Xing, I was wrong, I was wrong..."
"Please let me go. If you do, I'll immediately promote you to manager of the Sinan Trading Company in Feiyun City... no, I'll promote you to be my successor!"
"I'll make you the steward of the Marquis's mansion... Ah! No, don't kill me..."
"Please, please don't kill me..."
However, Tan Xing became even more excited and laughed loudly: "You dog surnamed Cui, weren't you so high and mighty before?! Weren't you looking for someone to replace me?!"
"Didn't you treat me like a dog?! What are you doing now? You're begging me!"
"Hahaha, you think begging me will make a difference?!"
"You will die today!"
In the blink of an eye, Tan Xing had already left dozens of wounds on Steward Cui.
Steward Cui was bleeding profusely, his face was deathly pale, and he was barely clinging to life, but he still had the will to live.
"No, don't kill me..."
At this moment, Su Luo, who had been watching the show from the sidelines, stepped forward.
"Okay, that's enough."
He snatched the knife from Tan Xing's hand, then squatted down in front of Steward Cui. "Steward Cui, it's been a long time!"
Upon hearing this, Steward Cui was stunned for a moment, and his previously scattered mind suddenly focused.
"You are……"
Looking at Su Luo's delicate face, he finally remembered, "You, you... how could you still be alive?!"
