Chapter 245 The person looking for trouble
"also may."
As Ning Ji finished speaking, he saw several swordsmen walking towards him from a distance.
When those swordsmen stood up, the people around them saw it and turned to see what was going on.
They stopped in front of Ning Ji and the other man, about three meters away, not getting too close. They just said, "We want those horses of yours. Ten taels of silver a horse. How about that?"
The leading man spoke in a bad tone. He pointed at the horses beside Liu Mao. They could see that these horses were not from legitimate backgrounds, and there were only three of them, so they lowered the price so much.
Not everyone who comes here rides a horse, or they don't have a horse for other reasons. Now that Ning Ji and his group have many horses, they naturally think about getting a few horses.
Ning Ji saw that they were threatening him, as if they would attack him if he didn't sell them. He didn't mind and said calmly, "You can sell four horses."
Although the price was very low, he had to deal with these extra horses anyway. If he met such people under normal circumstances, he wouldn't mind taking action, but there were too many of them around, and he didn't want to make a fuss for a few bucks.
Seeing Ning Ji agree so readily, the swordsmen were a little surprised, but it was also within their expectations. They even regretted that the price was too high and should have been a little lower!
"Boss..." One of them reached out and pulled the man in the lead, wanting him to lower the price.
But the man called the boss narrowed his eyes and looked at Ning Ji, hesitated for a moment, and asked tentatively: "Can you sell me one more?"
He wanted to buy all five horses. Of course, he didn't ask for the one next to Ning Ji. Since it was just a test, he couldn't push too hard.
Seeing their greedy look, Si He's eyes turned cold. They were taking advantage of the situation!
Ning Ji also looked at the man coldly, "Not for sale."
The man thought about it for a while, and finally decided to quit while he was ahead. He asked his men to pay forty taels of silver to pull the horse.
Several subordinates were somewhat unwilling, but since the boss said so, they had no choice but to do it.
Liu Mao looked at the horses being sold at a low price with mixed feelings, and handed the horses to them silently.
Those who were watching from a distance were a little surprised to see that the deal was done smoothly without any disputes, but seeing the huge disparity in strength between the two sides, they also understood.
Losing some money to avoid disaster is a good choice.
At this moment, they all thought that Ning Ji and the others were just enduring their anger and suffering losses, and treated them as soft persimmons, with disdain in their eyes, and some even stared at them with greedy eyes.
Except for the group of people who had seen Ning Ji take action before, now they were somewhat suspicious whether Ning Ji was trying to fish?
After all, when he dealt with those robbers before, he was ruthless and very skilled. Now he was easily forced to pay a lower price to buy a horse. It seemed wrong no matter how you looked at it.
"Boss, there are only three of them, and one of them is a woman. We can easily deal with them. Why are you so worried?"
After the group of people who bought horses walked away, one of the subordinates whispered something to the boss, somewhat unwillingly.
"You know nothing! There are so many people watching here. If someone gets involved, we won't get any advantage! Besides, do you think they can get so many horses without some skills? Sometimes it's better not to be too ruthless. If they are pushed to the limit, we may suffer losses. Now the most important thing is to find the treasure. At this critical moment, it's better to keep quiet and avoid letting others watch and take advantage of us."
After hearing what the boss said, the subordinate suddenly realized, "Boss, you are right! But there are not enough horses to share."
There were seven of them in the group, and they were still short of three horses.
The leader smiled and said, "After we enter the Black Forest tomorrow, we'll get a few more horses depending on the situation."
Several men understood what he meant, "That's right, Boss."
After they left with their horses, some people started to have ideas and, relying on their numbers, they also walked towards Ning Ji and the others.
Si He looked at another group of people coming and her face darkened. They really treated them as soft persimmons and wanted to step on them!
It would have been fine to sell those horses at a low price, after all, they were redundant and were prepared to be dealt with, but now these people...
"Hey, sell us the remaining two horses too. One tael of silver each."
As the man spoke, the group of people behind him laughed.
Those people in the distance looked over again. Although it was dark at night, the bright moonlight and the fires burning all around added a lot of light, allowing them to see the people and things here clearly. At this time, the voices of those people talking became much quieter, just to hear what was said here and see the excitement.
Ning Ji looked at the group of people in front of him, his eyes turned colder, and he didn't want to take action.
He didn't waste any words and stood up with his sword. Si He also stood behind him, holding the dagger vigilantly.
When the people opposite saw this, their smiles disappeared, their relaxed energy disappeared, their bodies tensed up, and they all subconsciously grasped the swords on their bodies.
Seeing this, Liu Mao, who was not far away, also became nervous. While on guard, he was also praying in his heart, "Let's fight, let's fight, it would be best if both sides were injured or killed." But thinking of the strange poison in his body, he felt very worried.
"You..." The leader had just opened his mouth when Ning Ji immediately drew his sword and attacked!
Without saying a word, just take action!
And his momentum was so fierce that they all looked shocked. Even those who were watching the excitement from a distance were surprised, wondering why he was so easy to talk to before?
boom!
When the swords collided, the cold light flashing on the swords was particularly conspicuous. What was most shocking was Ning Ji's speed and sharp skills. He could hit people's vital points with one move!
The leader retreated step by step. If it weren't for the help of his men, he might have been defeated!
A group of people attacked Ning Ji, but he was as fast as lightning and as fierce as a tiger or leopard. Even though eight people surrounded him, he still couldn't escape!
Such skills frightened them and made them feel a little regretful, while those watching the excitement in the distance could not help but open their eyes wide, staring intently, with great interest. This fight was somewhat beyond their expectations.
Si He watched nervously but did not go forward to cause trouble. Fortunately, Ning Ji soon gained the upper hand and several people were seriously injured by him and fell to the ground.
In a blink of an eye, only five of the eight people were left, and many of them were injured. Ning Ji was still unharmed. He jumped up from time to time to avoid their attacks, and then launched another fierce attack.
Soon, two more people fell to the ground, but these two were not seriously injured, but died on the spot!
Both of them had their necks cut, the wounds were long and deep, blood was gushing out, and blood was everywhere!
The remaining three people were terrified and looked horrified. One of them immediately gave up attacking Ning Ji and turned to capture Si He.
Seeing this, Ning Ji's eyes flashed with murderous intent. He turned his wrist and swung his sword towards the man holding the knife.
