Chapter 391
"There's one more." Ling Yu jumped up and swung his seven-hole sound sword several times, using the noise to force back the hounds blocking the way, and chased into the alley.
Hua Yuxi knew that he was looking for Xu Zengshou, who was commanding the hounds with a whistle. Just as she was about to follow him, she suddenly felt a chill coming from the back of her head.
She turned around and saw a ghostly border arrow leaping high from the wall of a house. The black Xuanji Sword in her hand cut through the dim moonlight and struck at her in the air.
No one can describe the speed of this sword. This is a killing sword that is impossible to dodge, let alone parry.
This is definitely the pinnacle of the Border Town Arrow Assassin's career. Ling Yin's swordsmanship absorbs all the sounds in the surrounding air, allowing his Xuanji Sword to cut through the absolute silence like a ghost and reach the target.
When Hua Yuxi realized that someone was attacking behind her, the Xuanji Sword was already less than six feet away from her.
Her first reaction was to close her eyes and say silently: "It's over."
Because she knew that at this speed and distance, no one could save her.
But Ling Yu can fly.
At the same moment when Hua Yuxi closed her eyes, Ling Yufei flew back like eyes on the back of her head, and slashed four times in the air with the seven-hole dingyin sword.
The four sound waves surge towards the Xuanji Sword at a high speed that is difficult to discern with the naked eye. If Hua Yuxi opens her eyes, she can see that the raindrops falling from the sky, driven by the sound waves, form strange waves like a sea tide.
This wave of waves bypassed her body and rushed toward the edge of the Xuanji Sword from all directions.
The Xuanji Sword was affected by the sound wave, and the tip of the sword suddenly trembled, and at the same time, its speed also slowed down a bit.
Hua Yuxi keenly felt the possibility of survival. She turned around suddenly and fell to the side. Only then did she avoid the fatal blow of the border city arrow by a hair.
With a "crash", Hua Yuxi fell into a puddle on the roadside, covered in mud. A strand of hair was cut off by the Xuanji Sword and slowly fell to her side.
After the arrow from the border town hit the ground, he kept moving, tiptoeing a little, and using the momentum of his forward motion, he rushed towards Ling Yufei. Ling Yufei's face turned pale, and he turned around with a sword.
The Xuanji Sword and the Seven-hole Dingyin Sword clashed together. Sparks were clearly flying, but there was no sound of collision.
Border Town's arrow followed the trend, but Ling Yufei turned around halfway. The two of them had similar skills, but they were competing in terms of momentum.
Ling Yufei groaned and staggered back three steps, obviously suffering a hidden loss.
The arrows from the border city soared into the sky, volleying down like gods descending to earth.
At this time, Hua Yuxi reacted and pulled Ling Yufei behind her. The cross golden feathers turned into a golden light and shot towards the border city arrow's face.
In terms of range, her cross golden feathers are naturally far superior to the Xuanji Sword, so even those who are conceited are like border city arrows and have to avoid its edge temporarily.
The Xuanji Sword lightly struck the Cross Golden Ling's dart head, and the Border City Arrow jumped back, standing seven steps away from Hua Yuxi.
Ling Yufei shook off Hua Yuxi's arm and took a step forward to stand side by side with her. His intention was self-evident.
We're two against one, you have no chance.
Border Town Arrow glared at Ling Yufei fiercely, hesitated for a moment, and then disappeared.
Looking for Xu Zengshou again, he found that he had already escaped with his dog and his body.
Hua Yuxi breathed a long sigh of relief and was about to speak when suddenly Ling Yufei coughed violently.
He covered his mouth with his hands, but the spaces between his fingers were filled with the blood he coughed up. In the end, even the skirt of his clothes was stained red.
"You are injured." Hua Yuxi said softly.
Ling Yufei scooped up a handful of rainwater with his hands, rinsed his mouth with it, wiped it on his face, and finally spit out the blood on the ground, shook his head and said, "It doesn't matter."
"Give me your hand." Hua Yuxi couldn't help but pull up one of his arms and put her jade fingers on his veins.
After a while, she breathed a sigh of relief and said: "There are internal injuries, but fortunately they are not too serious. I will give you Chixia Hundred Flowers Pill when the time comes, and you will be able to recover in twenty days at most."
Ling Yufei's expression changed and he said, "When An Xiaohan was injured by Lan Ruohai's counterattack before he died, did he rely on this medicine to heal?"
"You know quite a lot." Hua Yuxi glanced at him with a smile but not a smile, "The move of Border City Arrow just now has obviously suppressed all the sounds. How did you notice it?"
Ling Yufei said calmly: "It was precisely because he suppressed all the sounds and suppressed the sounds that should have been in that direction that I realized something was wrong."
"The sound of rain!" Hua Yuxi suddenly said, "He restrained not only the sound of the sword blade breaking through the wind, but also the sound of rain that should have existed."
Ling Yufei didn't answer any more, and remained silent for a moment before saying, "Can you find a place..."
"Of course." Hua Yuxi said with a smile, "Master Ling is willing to take a big risk to find the slave family. Naturally, there is a reason why he has to go to the slave family. Come with me."
She was very familiar with the roads in the capital, and she took Ling Yufei through the streets and alleys, and then came to an inconspicuous small courtyard near the south gate.
Their footprints and breath were covered by the night rain, so no one expected to follow them.
It wasn't until she pushed open the door of a private house in the small courtyard that Hua Yuxi truly relaxed her nervousness and said with a smile: "They say a cunning rabbit has three burrows. How could a cunning witch like me not have an emergency shelter? Ling
Sir, please come in."
Ling Yufei followed her into the room, and the two soaked people looked at each other. Suddenly they felt a little embarrassed and avoided each other's eyes.
Hua Yuxi pretended to fiddle with the dusty inkstone on the table, and said quietly: "If the slave family remembers correctly, Master Ling is in the Xixia treasure, but he treats the slave family as an enemy. I won't let the slave family die in the hands of others tonight.
Could it be that the young master wants to avenge the master's shame with his own hands? There is no one else here now. If the young master wants to take action, he can do it at any time."
Ling Yufei pursed her lips tightly and suddenly bowed to Hua Yuxi and said: "Zhu'er was bitten by a poisonous snake in the treasure and is still unconscious. I took her to consult famous doctors in Hexi, but they were unable to do anything. Later I heard that
Spend time with everyone, thinking..."
"What does that poisonous snake look like?" Hua Yuxi interrupted him, "Tell me carefully and I'll listen."
Ling Yufei perked up and hurriedly described in detail the strange snake he encountered in the Xixia treasure.
Hua Yuxi pondered and said: "These alone are not enough to diagnose her. What about Miss Zhu'er?"
Ling Yufei said without hesitation: "I will place her in an inn in the east of the city."
"In this way, you can rest assured about Miss Zhu'er. Just because you sacrificed your life to save me today, I will never sit idly by." Hua Yuxi said with a solemn expression, "It's just that I have more important things to do now, for Zhu'er
Can the girl’s diagnosis be postponed for two days, and then I can see her again after I have solved the trouble at hand?”
Ling Yufei said sincerely: "If there is anyone who can help me, please let me know."
"Come on." Hua Yuxi waved her hands and said, "As long as you can take good care of yourself and don't cause trouble for me."
Ling Yufei looked hesitant to speak and said hesitantly: "The Hua family want to seek revenge on them?"
"They are so powerful that seeking revenge is like hitting a stone with an egg." Hua Yuxi said calmly, "But a few of my subordinates fell into their hands and I have to find a way to rescue them."
"If I want to take action, given my current situation, I am indeed unable to do it." Ling Yufei said with a wry smile, "But if everyone wants to find a helper, maybe they can find another person."
"I'm surrounded by enemies now and have no place in the capital." Hua Yuxi said with a sad face, "Who else is willing to help me?"
"Lan Qiao." Ling Yufei said calmly, "He is not inferior to me in terms of brains or martial arts."
When he said this, he and Hua Yuxi looked at each other, and the two of them almost simultaneously thought of the sword fighting competition in Jinan. At that time, Lan Qiao and Ling Yufei had a decisive battle, and Hua Yuxi was the only audience to cheer for Lan Qiao's side.
Hua Yuxi said in a trembling voice: "He...he also came to the capital?"
Ling Yufei nodded and said: "Not only is he here, but just an hour ago, he defeated An Xiaohan on the roof of the Goddess Tower, and many people saw it."
Hua Yuxi's face turned pale instantly, as if she was replaying what happened tonight in her mind. After a long time, she said: "He and I are old enemies. It would be a mercy not to kill me together. How could he help me in return?
"
Ling Yufei stared at her and said, "Have you been abandoned by the Erqi Society now?"
Hua Yuxi said helplessly: "Although I don't want to admit it, I'm afraid it is."
Ling Yufei then asked: "Does the Erqi Society still regard Lan Qiao as an enemy?"
"I'm afraid so."
"The enemy of my enemy is my friend. You must know this relationship and the changes in the situation better than I do."
"Master Ling means..."
"Although I don't fully understand the grudges between you, but based on my understanding of Lan Qiao, he might be willing to help you." Ling Yufei paused here and added: "Of course.
Everyone also needs to show enough sincerity."
Hua Yuxi lowered her head and said nothing, obviously thinking seriously about the feasibility of his proposal.
Ling Yufei didn't rush her, and just walked around the room with his hands behind his back.
After about a stick of incense had passed, Hua Yuxi raised her head and said: "Anyway, Mr. Ling should take Miss Zhuer out of the city first. The Longhu Gang didn't know in advance that Mr. Ling would be involved in this matter, and the city gate should also
I haven't received the news yet, so I won't stop the young master from leaving the city."
Ling Yufei thought about it and understood that it would be better to leave the city sooner rather than later, so he said: "In this case, I wish everyone good luck."
Hua Yuxi shook her head and said somewhat distractedly: "After the young master leaves the city, you can cross the river to Jiangpu. There is an abandoned medicine house there, which was Xu Qiuyu's residence in the past. Now no one takes care of it. The young master and Miss Zhu'er
But if I stay in Yaolu for two days, if something happens here, I will go there to diagnose Miss Zhuer's pulse."
"Thank you, Mr. Hua." Ling Yufei cupped his hands again and turned to go out.
He walked to the door and stopped, turned around and looked at the only embroidered shoe left on Hua Yuxi's foot, and said softly: "He caught the flower ball by mistake tonight, and then played with us, and finally won the flower for everyone."
The 'shopkeeper Xun' who put on embroidered shoes." After saying that, he pushed open the door and disappeared into the rainy night outside.
