Wu Shilu was taken aback; no one had ever called him Old Wu before.
However, the title was quite novel, so he laughed and said, "Grand Tutor Li's witty remarks are truly amazing."
Wu Yingyuan spoke up, "I wonder if Grand Tutor Li will be free tomorrow? We would like to invite you to our humble abode. Would you do us the honor?"
Li Yao pondered for a moment and said, "Tomorrow is probably not feasible. Let's do it in a few days. I will pay you a visit in a few days."
The Wu family owned the largest ranch in the Zhao state, raising a large number of warhorses and supplying them to the Zhao state for a long time.
Therefore, the Wu family is a force to be reckoned with.
For Li Yao, the Wu family was a very important pawn.
He needs to keep this piece in his own hands.
However, the game of chess has not yet turned to the Wu family's side.
Now, he's first building a good relationship with the Wu family, and then proceeding step by step.
Wu Shilu and Wu Yingyuan exchanged a glance, and Wu Yingyuan nodded and said, "Very well, in a few days, our Wu family will respectfully await the arrival of the Grand Tutor."
Li Yao nodded.
He noticed that while he was talking to Wu Shiluo and Wu Yingyuan, Wu Tingfang, who was not far away, glared at him fiercely.
He didn't care at all; after all, he had killed Wu Tingfang's lover with a single blow!
Wu Yingyuan then politely said, "Grand Tutor Li, did you come on foot? Would you like me to arrange a carriage to take you back?"
Li Yao shook his head and smiled, "Thank you for your kindness, Brother Wu. We have a carriage."
Brother Wu?
Wu Yingyuan looked embarrassed; his daughter, Wu Tingfang, was about the same age as Li Yao.
Unexpectedly, Li Yao actually addressed him as Brother Wu.
However, it was just a title, and Wu Yingyuan didn't pay it any mind.
After parting ways with the Wu family, Li Yao watched them walk away before getting into his own carriage.
It was now late at night and all was quiet.
There wasn't a single pedestrian on the long street.
Two Mohists sat at the front driving the carriage, while Li Yao sat alone in the carriage with his eyes slightly closed.
"They're here!"
Suddenly, his eyes snapped open, and he shouted softly, "Stop the car!"
The two Mohists immediately reined in their horses, stopped the carriage, and asked in confusion, "Master, what's wrong?"
Li Yao's sharp eyes quickly swept across the long street, but there was no one around.
At this moment, the long street was unusually quiet.
Li Yao's expression was solemn as he ordered one of the Mohists, "Give me the sword!"
The Mohist was puzzled, but orders were orders, so he handed the sword to Li Yao without asking any questions.
Li Yao took the sword and ordered, "You two, quickly hide under the carriage. Do not come out without my permission."
The two Mohists looked at each other, puzzled as to why the Grand Master had given this order.
However, they still followed Li Yao's orders and crawled under the carriage.
Li Yao jumped down from the carriage and slashed twice with his sword, quickly cutting off the two shafts connecting the horse and the carriage.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh...
As soon as the cart shaft was cut off, countless gleaming arrows shot from both sides of the road, densely packed like a torrential rain.
Ta-da!
Li Yao swiftly swung his sword, creating an impenetrable net of blades in front of him, knocking down all the sharp arrows.
At this moment, the two Mohists hiding under the carriage finally understood why the Grand Master had asked them to hide under the carriage.
It turns out they were attacked!
The tycoon was indeed formidable; he had detected the ambush nearby long ago.
Chapter 49 War God Li Yao, Not One Can Escape
Howl!
The horses pulling the cart, struck by several arrows, let out a long neigh and galloped away.
At this moment, the two Mohists hiding under the carriage had to admire their leader's foresight.
If the general hadn't severed the shaft connecting the carriage to the horse, the horse, after being shot by the arrow, would have inevitably dragged the carriage away with it.
In this way, they now have nowhere to hide.
However, could the Grand Prince alone handle such a dense barrage of arrows?
They were all worried about the young master.
Ta-da!
Li Yao continued to wield his sword, knocking down arrow after arrow.
In the blink of an eye, the carriage was riddled with bullet holes.
After several rounds of intense arrow fire, the ambushers on both sides were shocked to find that Li Yao was still unharmed, and they looked at each other in dismay.
They had no idea that Li Yao could so easily deflect their dense barrage of arrows.
This Li Yao is incredibly powerful!
However, they received a death order today.
If Li Yao doesn't die, then they will.
Therefore, when they ran out of arrows, they dropped their bows and arrows, drew their longswords, jumped down from the trees on both sides of the road, and surrounded Li Yao.
Li Yao glanced around and found that there were about a hundred people on the other side, all dressed in black and masked.
He discarded the tattered sword in his hand and calmly pulled a cloth bag from his pocket.
He opened the cloth bag and took out several iron beans, each about the size of a mung bean.
These iron beans were specially made by his orders.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh...
With a flick of his wrist, Li Yao sent several iron pellets piercing through the void and whistling out.
Thump thump thump...
In an instant, several men in black fell to the ground and died.
The men in black around them looked down in horror and saw that all of them had a small bloody hole between their eyebrows.
ah?
What kind of hidden weapon is this?
That's incredibly accurate!
A group of men in black gasped, a sense of dread creeping into their hearts.
"Everyone, attack together and kill him, or we'll all die."
One of the men in black shouted.
The other men in black were all taken aback.
Yes, they were given a death order; if they didn't kill Li Yao, they would all be dead.
Their only chance of survival is to kill Li Yao.
So they rallied, raised their swords again, and swarmed towards Li Yao.
Bang!
Bang!
Bang!
With just a flick of Li Yao's hand, a man in black would scream and fall to the ground.
Soon, twenty or thirty men in black lay on the ground.
However, this did not stop the men in black; they still rushed towards Li Yao without regard for their own safety.
Because if Li Yao doesn't die, then they will!
Seeing that these people were about to attack, Li Yao stretched out his right hand and had a thought.
brush!
A 1.5-meter-long embroidered spring knife suddenly appeared in Li Yao's right hand.
The men in black were stunned, completely bewildered, not understanding how Li Yao suddenly had a strangely shaped knife in his hand.
That's so weird!
whoosh whoosh whoosh...
Li Yao brandished his embroidered spring knife and charged into a group of men in black.
Puff puff puff...
With swift strokes, the men in black fell one after another into pools of blood, like dominoes toppling.
At this moment, two Mohists who had been hiding under the carriage crawled out from underneath.
They happened to see Li Yao alone, wielding a long knife, charging into a group of men in black.
They were immediately dumbfounded; the tycoon before them was simply a god of war.
Slay gods if they stand in your way, slay demons if they stand in your way!
