She grasped the rope with one hand, and at the moment when her body stopped, she bent her waist and rolled up, and a crossbow arrow shot out from the water, almost flying past her hip.
At the critical moment, she clicked the hanging knife with her index finger and returned the crossbow to the opponent. With a pop, the crossbow arrow flew into the water, and she didn't know whether it hit the opponent.
Wang Huan was shocked and angry, and fired another crossbow into the water.
Her crossbow arrows have been modified to be able to fire two crossbow arrows in succession. Don't underestimate this extra crossbow arrow. At critical moments, you can use this crossbow to save half your life than your opponent.
However, just as her crossbow arrow flew down diagonally, the water below her suddenly opened up, and a black shadow rushed up. Wang Huan caught the crossbow-holding wrist unprepared.
All this happened in a flash of lightning. The policemen above were panicking. One of the policemen also aimed his crossbow downwards, but before he could shoot the crossbow arrow, the target was blocked by young Wang Huan.<
/p>
The man in the water was so strong that Wang Huan felt as if her wrist was being clamped by iron pliers, and her bones were about to crack.
However, she was a person who refused to admit defeat after all. With a flick of her wrist, the hand crossbow without arrows flew towards the black shadow.
The crossbow shoulder of this hand crossbow was made of multiple layers of bamboo, which made the black shadow groan.
The copper crossbow popped out and drew a long bloody gash on the black figure's cheek.
He obviously didn't expect that his opponent would be so difficult to deal with and could turn things around when he was at a disadvantage.
This aroused his bravery, and he grabbed Wang Huan's arm with one arm, pulled her down hard, and pulled her into the water.
"Plop!"
Wang Huan's arm was almost dislocated by him, and she lost her balance again after falling into the water. However, she ignored the pain, drew out her short knife and stabbed the black figure. This time, she did not aim for a direct hit, but to force it back.
However, as soon as the knife was thrust out, the ankles of both feet were suddenly grabbed from the water and pulled downwards. It seemed that this person was not the same person as the one who had just attacked him, but his tricks were even more difficult to guard against.<
/p>
Wang Huan was so anxious that she sheathed the knife and stabbed her body. Her head had already been pulled into the water, but her mind was still very clear. She realized that she could not gain any advantage when fighting one against two, especially
Fight in this water.
At the same time, she felt a little lucky that the two thieves in the water did not escape directly from the water, which meant that although the water in the ditch below was flowing, it was very likely that people could not pass through it somewhere. As a last resort, the two men returned to attack.
myself.
If there was no obstruction in the ditch, the two of them would have left along the ditch. The ditch here is probably connected to the river pond around Mingyue Tower. Although Mingyue Tower has been abandoned, the water there is still living water.
In other words, as long as the two people swam out along the waterway, they could swim all the way to the Public Security Gate in the southeast of the city.
Gong'an Gate is named because it faces the public security. According to legend, Liu Bei married Mrs. Sun here, Lü Meng defeated Jingzhou and killed Guan Yu by sneaking in through this gate. There is no land route to this gate, and entry and exit are all by boat.
The knife stabbed the air. When Wang Huan held her breath and was waiting to swing the knife again to save herself, the hands holding her ankles suddenly let go.
She stretched out her arms, then pressed down hard, and her body rushed out of the water like a dolphin, splashing into waves.
Wang Huan exhaled heavily while looking for the enemy.
However, except for her rapid breathing and the sound of dripping water, there was no sound around her.
……
It's late at night and the moon is bright, but I hear the barking of dogs in the distance, the chirping of insects nearby, and my thoughts are overwhelming, but I toss and turn and can't fall asleep.
The candlelight outside flickered, casting the shadow of the little maid who was also awake on the screen.
As a maid who serves Chen Chang, Xiao Yu'er lives in the outer room at night. It is said to be an outer room, but in fact it is just a screen. A small bed is set up there so that it is convenient to get up at night and take care of Chen Chang.
Chen Chang looked at the shadow on the screen. The little girl was sitting in a dignified posture. She was writing in front of the case. Sometimes she wrote a few strokes, sometimes she held her chin in meditation, sometimes she sighed slightly, and she even wrote a few words on the case.
The paper is crumpled into a ball.
Chen Chang couldn't help but laugh. This scene looked like a junior high school girl doing her homework.
Since he couldn't sleep, he simply went to see what the little girl was doing. He stood up and held the bed, tiptoeing to the table behind the screen, and quietly poked his head out. He saw the little girl frowning and murmuring something, and couldn't help but laugh:
"Hey, you're still up so late?"
"Aunt... uncle..."
Under the candlelight, Xiao Yu'er was startled and stood up in a hurry. The table and chairs made a noise. In a panic, he hid the piece of paper on the case behind his back and never thought of knocking over the inkstone.
Chen Chang couldn't help but want to laugh even more. This little girl looked like she was caught by the teacher reading comics in class.
"What are you writing about?" Chen Changshen walked over and asked with a smile.
Xiao Yu'er's face turned red and he shook his head: "No...it's nothing..."
Over there, Chen Chang had already unfolded a paper ball.
"Aunt...Uncle..." Xiao Yu'er had already stretched out a hand, seemingly trying to snatch the paper ball from Chen Chang's hand, but when he saw Chen Chang's strange expression, his hand froze.
In the air.
"At three o'clock in the morning, my uncle is still sleeping soundly."
"At every turn, I drank some rice soup."
"..."
When Chen Chang read out the words on the paper ball, Xiao Yuer's expression was about to cry.
"What is this?" Chen Chang raised the crumpled paper in his hand, "Daily Note? I wrote down all my food, drinks, and toilette on it. What is it for?"
"I...I...this..." Xiao Yu'er was as red as the morning glow from her neck to her face. She finally mustered up the courage to snatch the piece of paper from Chen Chang's hand, "No...it's nothing...
…”
Chen Chang pressed forward step by step, forcing Xiao Yu'er to the screen. He could no longer retreat and stared at her intently: "What do you mean, Miss?"
"No... no... it's me... I'm the maid..." Xiao Yu'er denied incoherently, "The maid just wants to practice calligraphy, yes, practice calligraphy!"
Chen Chang's eyes were as bright as fire. How could such cover-up and denial be hidden from him? How could a little girl have the time to practice calligraphy when she was as busy as a top all day long, and write such a shabby account? There must be someone behind it, except for that
Miss Lou, I’m afraid I can’t think of a second choice.
"Besides these, what else does your lady ask you to write?"
"Also... and what my uncle said every day... every day..."
Realizing that he had been tricked, Xiao Yuer suddenly covered his mouth.
"Okay, don't be so nervous. I'm just asking casually, and keep writing, and keep writing..." Chen Chang pretended to yawn and walked towards the inner room.
