Chapter 388
"Who are you?" Hua Yuxi looked around, slowly stood up straight, and said in a cold voice.
None of the men in black answered, but they all showed their weapons and approached Hua Yuxi.
"Cut the grass and root it out?" Hua Yuxi sneered, "Then let me see if you have this ability first."
But she saw a flash of golden light, and the cross golden feathers hidden in her sleeves shot towards the man in black closest to her like a poisonous snake.
Hua Yuxi went on stage to perform in the courtyard of the Goddess Building. She didn't carry any other sundries with her. She only hid this cross golden feather for self-defense in critical moments.
The man in black was holding a thick-backed steel knife more than four feet long. The light of the knife rose in the storm and slashed at Hua Yuxi's cross-shaped golden dart.
Hua Yuxi looked determined to fight to the end, her eyes fixed on the thick-backed steel knife of the man in black. The cross-shaped golden feather did not flinch and faced it head-on.
The man in black was overjoyed and secretly thought, "How can you defeat my thick-backed sword with a soft weapon? Let me chop off your dart head."
His sword was powerful and heavy, but when it hit Hua Yuxi's cross golden feather, it seemed to have struck cotton, so lightly that it was effortless.
Hua Yuxi raised her dark eyebrows, and the chain of the cross golden feathers suddenly bent into an exaggerated "ji" shape. The cross dart head bypassed the thick-backed sword and flew straight towards the face of the man in black.
The man in black was shocked. He suddenly realized that he had been deceived by Hua Yuxi's pretentious look, thinking that she was going to fight with him. However, it was too late for him to save him at this time, and he was hit squarely between the eyebrows by the cross golden feather. He was instantly hit on the spot.
Fallen to death.
The other men in black saw Hua Yuxi taking action and killed one of their companions. They were horrified and shouted to avenge their companions. They attacked Hua Yuxi with swords, guns, swords and halberds.
Hua Yuxi had no time to take care of An Xiaohan's body, nor did she have time to think about the dangerous situation Dim Sum and others were in the Goddess Building. She took advantage of the enemy to complete the siege and ducked to the gap on the south side.
She did not randomly choose a direction to escape, but thousands of thoughts flooded into her mind in an instant, telling her that escaping from this direction had the highest probability of success.
The Goddess Tower is located on the artificially dug Rouge River, only a few hundred steps away from the famous Qinhuai River. If someone deliberately tries to deal with her, her escape routes to the east, west, north and south will be blocked, and because of the Qinhuai River on the south side,
The river channel will not be blocked by anyone.
What seemed like the most impossible direction left Hua Yuxi with a subtle glimmer of hope.
The group of men in black didn't know who was leading them. When they saw Hua Yuxi running towards the river bank, they all followed her closely. As long as Hua Yuxi was blocked by the river for a moment, they could surround her again.
However, Hua Yuxi seemed to have calculated it well in advance. When she ran to the north bank of the Qinhuai River, there happened to be a colorful boat sailing past from east to west.
To facilitate her movement, she tore open the gorgeous dress she wore during the performance, tore off all the fabric below her knees that had been wetted by the rain and stuck to her legs, and threw them aside.
The man in black then covered her up, but before he could surround her again, Hua Yuxi had already jumped up, crossed the nearly three feet wide river, and landed on the painting boat that happened to be passing by.
"Fire arrows!" a man in black shouted.
A dozen men in black uniformly took out small foldable crossbows from their sleeves and loaded them with arrows.
Hua Yuxi had nowhere to hide. In desperation, she kicked the starboard pane of the boat to pieces and ducked in.
In the painting hall, the spring light is beautiful and the fragrance is intoxicating. A young courtesan wearing a pearl on her head and a lotus-colored dress is leaning against the arms of a young man in white with her shoulders exposed.
The young man was obviously a distinguished guest tonight. The oiran and the other girls accompanying him on the boat were not only very flattering to him, but also very attentive to the two other friends who came with him. They played the harp and sheng, sang and danced, served wine and acted coquettishly.
There are all kinds of tricks, just like a small world of red and pink sounds.
Hua Yuxi broke in through the window, and everyone was startled by her. They saw that she was soaked all over, and some of her hair was in a mess, and some of it was stuck to her face, neck or shoulders.
The fine dress was torn to pieces, revealing two long bare legs. Water was dripping from the body, making the situation extremely embarrassing.
However, in such a miserable state, she still retained her stunning beauty that would captivate the whole country. The young master on the boat took one look at her and was immediately attracted to her as if he had lost his soul, and could not look away from her again.
The oiran was so frightened that his face turned pale at first, but after the shock subsided, he quickly showed a sullen look, pointed at Hua Yuxi and said, "Who are you?"
Hua Yuxi did not answer, but kicked over the low mahogany table in front of the oiran and the young master, causing the low table to stand upright, and then got behind the table like a civet cat.
The food and wine on the table were spilled all over the floor, and the oiran turned red with anger. Before she could speak, Hua Yuxi pulled her behind the table.
At this moment, the sound of bowstrings was heard, and a round of crossbow arrows shot through the hole in the window pane like raindrops. If Hua Yuxi hadn't pulled the oiran in time and hid behind the table, he would have been shot into a hedgehog.
A girl playing the pipa was unable to dodge and was hit in the center by a crossbow arrow. She died tragically on the spot. The others were so frightened that their faces turned pale and they took the initiative to overturn the table or hide in other hidden corners.
The white-clothed young man held his head in his hands, huddled at Hua Yuxi's feet, and said in a trembling voice, "What on earth is going on?"
Hua Yuxi snorted and said, "Don't ask me, I'm a victim too."
She suddenly appeared from behind the table, bent down and slipped behind another table near the port side of the boat. She turned around and said urgently: "Get out of there quickly."
The oiran and the young man in white didn't know why, they looked at each other hesitantly and didn't dare to move for a moment.
At this time, the man in black on the north bank loaded the crossbow again, and the arrows shot out again, falling into the cabin of the boat, which was filled with screams.
The table where Hua Yuxi initially hid was struck by so many arrows that the wooden board shattered and collapsed. The oiran and the young man in white who were still hiding behind were each hit by several arrows and fell into a pool of blood.
"What a beast!" Hua Yuxi cursed and pushed open the flower window on the left side of the boat. She saw another boat coming from west to east and was about to "pass by" this boat.
She took advantage of the gap where the men in black on the north bank were loading arrows and sprang up again, jumped through the flower window and jumped onto the oncoming painting boat.
This painting boat is closer to the south shore than to the north shore. Hua Yuxi did not break into the flower hall, but got into the storage room at the stern, stepped on the girls' bellybands, silk handkerchiefs, shoes and socks, etc., and went directly to the port side.
Starboard, tiptoeing, once again crossed the river more than two feet wide, and landed on the south bank of the Qinhuai River.
Although there are more than ten large and small Qin Towers and Chu Pavilions on the south bank of Qinhuai, it is slightly less prosperous than the north bank. Now that it has passed Yinchu, most of the tourists who come out for fun have found satisfactory accommodation, and the number of pedestrians on the street has greatly increased.
Only the bright or dark windows upstairs are still telling the romantic stories of the Qinhuai River.
Most of the men in black who attacked Hua Yuxi below the goddess's building did not have the ability to cross the three-foot river. Only two men in black copied Hua Yuxi's escape route and used two boats sailing on the river as a foothold.
After chasing him to the south bank of Qinhuai, he was obviously an enemy master.
After the two masters in black arrived at the south bank, one of them continued to chase Hua Yuxi, while the other took half a step back and shot a firework rocket into the night sky.
Hua Yuxi's side face was illuminated by the fireworks, and she felt a chill in her heart.
