C1150 Rich Spoils of War
At this moment, alarm bells suddenly rang in his heart. An extremely dangerous feeling appeared in his perception.
Not good!
He roared madly in his heart, and immediately gave up on taking the ivory. He chose to jump to the side, and at the same time, planned to roll on the ground. Even if he looked ugly, as long as he could avoid danger, it was worth it.
Although his reaction was fast, the attack was even faster!
Before he could dodge, a green sword light appeared in front of him. The light bloomed and exploded. The gorgeous green sword light turned into a flower and exploded on his face.
Ah!
Qilan Bohu screamed in pain. He felt his vision go black and he lost consciousness.
Seeing Qilan Bohu's body fall to the ground, Ye Bufan's figure slowly appeared.
A single sword strike had actually knocked down an opponent who was a level higher than him. Even if it was a sneak attack, or even taking advantage of the fact that his opponent was heavily injured, this result was something he didn't expect.
However, he didn't have time to think about these problems. He hurriedly came to Zhang Jilan's side, bent over to check the stubborn scholar's breath, and was pleasantly surprised to find that the scholar still had a breath left in him. Only then did he put his heart back into his stomach.
In order to be able to hit him with a single strike, he could be said to be extremely cold-blooded just now. Even if he watched Zhang Jilan and Yinn Tong Zhang Qian being knocked down to the ground and didn't know whether they were alive or dead, he still maintained absolute rationality. Only now did he choose the moment when Qilan Bohu was the most relaxed and thrust out his sword. He also succeeded.
This wasn't the end. Qilan Bohu wouldn't be killed by his sword, or else he wouldn't be a member of the Qilan.
Therefore, whether it was him or Zhang Jilan, the crisis was still far from over.
They had to make the best use of their time to leave this place, and then run away or hide. Otherwise, they would be doomed forever.
The matter of making enemies with the third young master of Qilan and beating him to the ground had finally come to an end.
The Qilan would definitely send someone to hunt them down.
Of course, Ye Bufan had also thought of killing Qilan Bohu without any hesitation. However, after thinking for a while, he still did not make a move. Instead, he picked up Zhang Jilan and brought Zhang Qian and Yinn Tong with him. He grabbed three injured and unconscious people and quickly ran out of Blood Bone Mountain.
As he ran, he did not forget to remove the marks on the ground. Fortunately, the three injured people did not bleed. This was the best news.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to get rid of the smell of blood along the way.
If the two middle-aged men beside Qilan Bohu chased after him, following the smell of blood would be as easy as turning his hand.
It was only after a small river in the Tang Kingdom arrived at an unknown valley in the Blood Bone Mountain that Ye Bufan put Zhang Jilan and the other two down and sat on a large limestone to rest.
Along the way, he had brought three people with him. He had to hide the traces of their escape and choose a suitable location to hide, which had exhausted him.
At this time, sitting on the large limestone, other than gasping for air, his mind was almost unable to think properly.
Before he escaped, he did not kill Qilan Bohu not because he did not know that if he cut the grass, he would not get rid of the roots and grow again in the spring wind. Instead, it was meaningless to do so.
Perhaps it wouldn't do much harm to himself, but to Zhang Jilan, it would definitely make the relationship between him and the Qilan's aristocratic families become irreconcilable.
Because even if he killed Qilan Bohu, he still had the two bodyguards by his side. Those two had gone to hunt down the other members of the team. Those rookies who had just come out of seclusion for the first time wouldn't be able to cause any trouble for them. It should not take long for them to return after killing all of them.
The most important thing was that the two middle-aged men knew about Zhang Jilan. They knew very well that the leader of this rookie team was Zhang Jilan, a member of the government.
If they only killed Qilan Bohu and could not kill these two bodyguards together, then there was no value in silencing him.
Once Qilan Bohu was killed, the two bodyguards would definitely tell the Qilan family what had happened. At that time, the target of the Qilan family would definitely be Zhang Jilan, not Ye Bufan.
In fact, Ye Bufan didn't run away. He had been hiding at the side with the help of his Divine Sense, waiting for the opportunity to attack.
However, this opportunity only appeared after Zhang Jilan was killed. It was such a perfect opportunity. Not only did it severely injure and knocked Qilan Bohu unconscious, but the opponent didn't even see his face.
If Ye Bufan didn't see Zhang Jilan as a friend, he could have killed Qilan Bohu, robbed everyone of their storage ring, and left.
At that time, no one would know that he was the one who did it. The Qilan would only seek revenge on Zhang Jilan, and Zhang Jilan would be killed by the Qilan.
Ye Bufan, on the other hand, would be able to take his spoils of war and stroll around leisurely.
However, it was obviously not his choice. After all, Zhang Jilan was his friend.
It was precisely because he knew that killing Qilan Bohu would not solve the problem. That was why he didn't make a move against Qilan Bohu. He didn't even touch the opponent's storage ring.
Although Zhang Jilan had the identity of a High Scholar, and this identity could help him in some small matters, if he really killed Qilan Bohu and became a sworn enemy of the Qilan, this identity wouldn't have any effect at all.
Ye Bufan wouldn't let Zhang Jilan fall into such a dangerous situation. Therefore, he didn't kill Qilan Bohu to get rid of the root of the problem. Instead, he chose to run away immediately.
As long as Qilan Bohu wasn't dead, the grudge between the two parties would be between Zhang Jilan and Qilan Bohu, not between him and the Qilan.
In a conflict of this degree, as long as Zhang Jilan obtained a high position in the government, when the power in his hands was beneficial to the family of Qilan, both parties would be able to resolve this conflict. It was even to the extent that Be an ally. At that time, even if Qilan Bohu opposed it himself, it wouldn't have any effect. He might even be suppressed by the families of Qilan.
This was the judgment Ye Bufan made in an instant, and it was all based on these reasons.
As long as he didn't kill Qilan Bohu, there was still a possibility of resolving the grudge between Zhang Jilan and the Qilan. Furthermore, it was Qilan Bohu's fault that this matter was spread to the public. It might even cause the government to retaliate, and eventually become a conflict between the government and the Qilan. If the government would protect Zhang Jilan, then Zhang Jilan wouldn't be in too much danger.
Looking back at the basis and reason for his judgment, Ye Bufan found that he wanted to admire him a little. He had to admit that he was a smart person to be able to maintain a clear understanding at such a critical moment.
After being complacent for a while, Ye Bufan became distressed again. He suddenly realized that he had lost his way.
He had been too busy choosing a place to hide to escape. Ye Bufan did not have time to distinguish the direction, so he did not know where he had gone.
They were now in a small valley, which was very small. It was about fifty to sixty meters long and less than sixty meters wide. There was a small waterfall at the end of the valley. There was a pond under the waterfall, and the water from the pond formed a small stream. It flowed out of the cove.
The reason Ye Bufan came to this place was because he wanted to hide his tracks. The best way to hide his tracks was to enter the river. He wanted to use the characteristics of the river water that kept changing to eliminate the traces left behind when he walked.
At that time, he discovered a small stream and immediately entered the small stream. He went one step at a time against the current before finally entering the cove.
As for what direction this cove was in, and whether there was a valley similar to the noontime in the surroundings, that was not something he could know.
Ye Bufan looked at the three unconscious people and felt that they had rested enough. It should be time to leave.
However, where to go became another problem that troubled him.
He had walked up against the current and entered the valley from outside. If he followed the stream out, it would be a waste. So he had to find another way.
The river could conceal traces, but it also gave the trackers a smaller search range. As long as a group of people went up against the current and a group of people went down, it would be fine. If Ye Bufan couldn't find another path as soon as possible, then it would only be a matter of time before he was found.
However, there was only one exit in the valley, and that was the place where the river flowed out. If he went out from that place, there was a high chance that he would run into people searching for him.
Ye Bufan didn't want to take the risk, so he could only think of another way.
He came to the end of the valley and looked up at the waterfall falling from the cliff.
He wanted to see if he could go up from here.
The mountain walls around the cove were very high. Obviously, he was not afraid of going up, not to mention that he had to bring three people who did not have any reaction.
Only the place left by the waterfall, there was a gap that was the only way he could think of to leave.
However, whether he could go up or how he could go up was a problem that needed to be solved.
Ye Bufan stretched out his hand and felt that the opening was not very high. It was about 30 to 40 feet high.
The width was also not bad. It was fifty to sixty feet wide.
If it was just a simple gap, he would be able to climb up even if he brought three unconscious people with him.
The problem was that there was not only a gap there, but also a passage left behind by the waterfall. The surrounding rock walls were covered in a thick layer of moss because of the waterfall. It was slippery and not holding back. It was not easy to use force, not to mention that if one wanted to go up to the gap... He had to withstand the impact of the waterfall.
However, in this situation, other than escaping from here, he could not think of any other way to escape.
Therefore, regardless of whether he could do it or not, he had to give it a try first before deciding whether he should continue to walk like this.
Therefore, Ye Bufan started to climb up.
Of course, as the saying went, he did not bring anyone along with him when he tried for the first time. He just climbed up by himself.
However, just as he climbed up more than three meters, he realized that if he didn't do anything, he wouldn't be able to climb up with his bare hands.
