After Zhao Kai said these words, he had a sinister look on his face, which made people feel uncomfortable just looking at him.
But he did not stop Lin Mengya and Long Tianyu from leaving.
While no one was watching, Lin Mengya signaled Huo Xiao not to be impulsive with her eyes, and then led Long Tianyu and the three people away in the opposite direction.
"You send the three of them back first."
After confirming that the Zhao family could no longer see them, Lin Mengya signaled the guards to send those three back first.
The three of them were smart enough not to ask any more questions.
As for today, it's better for these little shrimps to keep their mouths shut to avoid being affected.
Not long after, several figures came from a distance.
Long Tianyu narrowed his eyes, but signaled his men to be ready to take someone at any time.
"Are the Master Gong and His Highness the Holy Lord in front of you?"
A familiar voice came.
Lin Mengya breathed a sigh of relief and replied.
"Brother Huo, it's us."
Soon, Huo Xiao led someone in front of them.
As soon as the two parties met, Huo Xiao frowned and said, "Why are you still here? It's too dangerous here. You should leave as soon as possible."
"Brother Huo, are you injured?"
Lin Mengya's nose was sharp and she immediately smelled the smell of the medicine on the other party's body.
And that's still a burn.
Huo Xiao subconsciously covered his wrist, but still said with a normal expression: "It's not a problem, just some minor injuries."
"It's going to fester, or is it just a minor injury?"
Lin Mengya said disapprovingly and reached out to grab his wrist.
Huo Xiao was startled and wanted to pull away but couldn't. He could only let her open his sleeves and untie the cloth wrapped around his forearm.
Burns are more hideous than ordinary wounds, not to mention Huo Xiao's burns are not ordinary, and there are already some signs of festering.
"Be patient, I'll help you scrape off all the pus, and then give you some powder to stop the bleeding. Otherwise, your arm will be useless."
It was unimaginable that this man continued to use weapons when his wounds were all broken open.
Not to mention the unbearable pain, is he really not afraid that he will become a one-armed hero in the future
Lin Mengya couldn't help nagging a few words, but as she lowered her head to treat his wounds, she didn't notice that Huo Xiao's eyes became more and more gentle.
She was fast and the medicine was very easy to use. She had already rewrapped Huo Xiao before he felt any pain.
"It's best to expose the affected area for burns to heal faster. I'll change your medicine again tomorrow and you'll have to take good care of your injuries."
She burned the soiled cloth and then came back to talk to him.
Before he even got close, he heard Huo Xiao questioning Long Tianyu in a slightly excited tone.
"What time has it been? You have to think about her. Aren't you afraid of hurting her by doing this?"
Are you talking about her? Lin Mengya was a little puzzled, wondering why the two people were still quarreling.
Long Tianyu narrowed his eyes and sounded dissatisfied.
"This is a matter between the two of us, and it is not the turn of outsiders to dictate."
"you!"
"Stop it all."
Lin Mengya, full of questions, paused their argument.
"What are you talking about?"
Long Tianyu lowered his eyes, and Huo Xiao also hesitated to speak.
She looked around, and finally asked her man: "Say."
He curled his lips secretly.
Now that guy should have figured out who Ya'er was close to, right
But there was a grievance on his face that only Lin Mengya could see.
"Huo Xiao accused me of dragging you into the muddy waters of the ancient tribe.
. "
Huo Xiao's expression changed.
He knew he was being a bit nosy by doing this.
However, the situation of the ancient tribe is too complicated now, and he really doesn't want to see other people being implicated because of this.
"So that's it."
She nodded in realization.
Huo Xiao clenched his fists, feeling tense.
"Thank you, Brother Huo, for your kindness." She said with a smile.
"It's just that I have my own reasons for coming to the Ancient Clan this time."
She didn't blame him for being nosy.
She knew a little about Huo Xiao's character, and he was also a very loyal person to his friends.
"That's... okay. But I really hope you can leave as soon as possible."
Facing Huo Xiao's persuasion, Lin Mengya also felt a little bit of the seriousness of the situation.
"What happened? Is it related to your injury?"
Huo Xiao suddenly fell silent for a moment before saying: "I can't explain the specific things in a few words, but one thing is that the ancient tribe is now trying its best to expel all foreigners, and those foreigners are disappearing quickly.
I originally received a letter from my companions and brought someone here to pick them up. Unexpectedly, the night before yesterday, a fire suddenly broke out in the camp where we were stationed.
Fortunately, Wu Ying and Wang Yan were alert and everyone was only slightly injured. "
After hearing these words, Lin Mengya and Long Tianyu's expressions became more solemn.
"You mean, arson?" she asked.
Huo Xiao pursed his lips.
"When the fire started, I smelled a strange smell."
He glanced at his arm.
"I had escaped from the fire, but when I was rescuing people, I accidentally got on something and was burned by the fire. That thing couldn't be extinguished at all. Fortunately, I only got a small part of it."
Lin Mengya couldn't help feeling suffocated.
Weird smell, fire that can't be put out... ..
It all smacks of conspiracy.
"Can you tell me specifically about the smell of that thing?" Lin Mengya couldn't help but ask, and she was planning to take precautions as soon as possible.
Huo Xiao frowned.
"It smells a bit like rosin, but it smells a bit stinky when it burns. But I'm sure it's definitely not kerosene."
The incident happened so suddenly that it was not easy for him to recall these details afterwards.
Lin Mengya turned around and looked at Long Tianyu, and decided to take precautions no matter where she went from now on.
"Then why did you confront Zhao Kai this time?" She then brought up today's incident.
Huo Xiao sneered.
"Of course it's because the elder of the Zhao family is the person in charge of the recruitment documents. The letters sent back by the companions also mentioned that it was the elder Zhao who was responsible for receiving them when they arrived at the ancient clan.
Since they took the person away, they have to give it back to me! "
So that's it.
No wonder Huo Xiao was so aggressive.
No matter who this matter is brought against, I'm afraid he doesn't have such a good temper.
but... ...
"I think you and Zhao Kai are afraid that there will be no result."
Based on the observations along the way, Lin Mengya was certain that Zhao Kai was just a cannon fodder who was pushed to the stage.
Huo Xiao's face became even more ugly.
"I know this very well, but I absolutely cannot let it go!"
Although he had made up his mind to abandon his companions who had fled halfway, he absolutely could not watch them die.
Lin Mengya also knew this.
Therefore, those missing diviners should be the bait to lure him into trap.
"I think you should not be impulsive first. Zhao Kai said that he should have a helping hand. And the person who set the fire before must still be watching you secretly looking for opportunities. It's better to be cautious."
It is not difficult to see that this is probably a good show with the oriole behind.
Huo Xiao nodded, but he didn't want them to get involved.
"You should leave quickly before they attack."
But at this time, Long Tianyu, who had been silent, suddenly spoke.
"I'm afraid we can't leave either."
"What?" Huo Xiao was shocked.
But there is also an undercurrent surging on Zhao Mace and Elder Luo's side.
Elder Luo was originally a cautious person, but when he was sent to negotiate with the diviners this time, he secretly felt that something was not right.
And what Zhao Mace said just now made him even more worried.
Seeing the people opposite him looking at him eagerly, he couldn't help but feel a pain in his throat.
As long as he could save his life, he didn't dare to hope for anything else.
"Fourth Master?"
He cautiously called Zhao Mace.
The latter has been keeping his eyes closed since just now.
"Is something wrong?"
Zhao Kai glanced at him with a somewhat disdainful tone.
Elder Luo had to force himself and smiled dryly.
"What should we do now?"
"What to do? Get rid of them all, of course."
Zhao Kai's words were filled with deep-seated viciousness.
Even Elder Luo was startled and said quickly: "This, this can't be done! They are so numerous that we, the likes of us, may not be able to resist them."
"You still don't understand, if they don't die, we will die!" Zhao Mace said coldly.
Elder Luo was stunned for a moment, and then his face turned pale.
"How is that possible? I obviously didn't do anything wrong..."
Zhao Kai glanced at the guy with disdain, his mind filled with cruel thoughts.
That beast, ever since he came to power, has been planning to use the Zhao family in exchange for greater benefits.
And he and his father were gradually becoming more powerful and prestige in the Zhao family than the puppet they supported.
Therefore, that person should take the opportunity to get rid of himself to avoid worries.
It's just that he won't let that beast get his way!
Without even looking at the anxious loser, Zhao Mace strode to the end of the team.
The sinister smile on the corner of his mouth became more sinister.
He would never let himself get trapped in this little gutter.
The Zhao family will eventually belong to their father and son!
Outside the battlefield where the Zhao family and the fortune tellers were confronting each other, Lin Mengya and the others also faced a greater crisis.
Just the moment Long Tianyu finished speaking, countless hidden arrows suddenly struck.
"There's an ambush!"
Huo Xiao shouted loudly and stood in front of Lin Mengya and Long Tianyu.
Long Tianyu just glanced at him, turned the wheelchair in his hand, and turned to the other side, firmly protecting his wife.
Although there were many arrows, none of them could hurt the person they were trying to protect.
"Who is coming?" Huo Xiao yelled, anxious.
Careless!
If he hadn't come to see them in a hurry, these people probably wouldn't have followed him.
But when he wanted to express his apology to Gong Ya, he saw the girl hiding behind Long Tianyu's wheelchair, looking intently towards the direction from which the hidden arrow came.
Long Tianyu, on the other hand, seemed to have countless pairs of eyes, always able to block cold arrows from tricky angles with one step.
