No matter how thin Nie Qingling is, he still weighs at least eighty or ninety pounds.
Zhili is not good at strength, let alone carrying people up a mountain.
Finally, in a lonely cliff cave, Zhili put Nie Qingling down while panting heavily.
Looking at Zhi Li's panting appearance, Nie Qingling said: "With your skills, you don't have to worry about me."
After calming down for a while, Zhili regained his composure and looked at her: "I'll save her, I'll save her, don't be nagging."
The face of the young man sitting at the entrance of the cave seemed to have a layer of radiance under the bright moon in the sky.
"Do you want to be one of those chivalrous knights in the story books?" Nie Qingling asked.
"I haven't thought about it, but what happened in front of me cannot be ignored."
Nie Qingling smiled and turned to look outside the mountain.
She was stumbling over branches and thorns along the way, and she became more and more embarrassed, with many branches and leaves stuck to her disheveled hair.
But her hands and feet were still tied, and she couldn't straighten them out.
However, now that the atmosphere was harmonious, Nie Qingling thought for a moment and looked at Zhili: "I'm not looking for a short-term solution. Can you untie my hands and feet?"
"No." Zhi Li didn't even think about it.
"You...why."
"This is the cliff. If you jump into the river, I can catch you. If you jump off the cliff, I can only feed your bones to the wild animals."
"Hey, feed the beast?"
"Yeah, it's just a pile of dry bones anyway."
Nie Qingling opened her eyes, her face turned pale, and she suspected that her ears had heard wrongly.
After a while of silence, she said in a roundabout way: "Well, I want to relieve myself."
Zhili looked at her, thought for a while, and said softly: "Just bear with it."
"I haven't urinated in a day."
"If you really can't hold it in...that way, it's okay, I don't mind the smell, just pee in your pants."
"you……"
"I am not boasting about my kindness. There are several elderly families with no children on the outskirts of Nantang County. Sometimes when I go to the county to do shopping, I will empty the dung bucket and wash the underwear for them. The smell is not good, but
I can bear it, it’s okay.”
Nie Qingling leaned against the cave wall in despair.
She meets some kind of divine person every day.
The footsteps of officers and soldiers came less than half an hour later.
Zhili knew that it would be easy to find them. After all, he was carrying someone on his back, and he could find him just by looking at the direction of the branches and their downturn.
He loosened the rope on Nie Qingling's body slightly, tied him and his body to the big rock deep in the cave, and then jumped up from the cliff in a dexterous manner.
The fire spread all over the mountains and plains. When the Xucheng patrol officer saw Zhili, he raised his knife and pointed: "He's there! Did you see him? This guy is out!"
"kill!"
"superior!"
The ten leaders shouted loudly.
Zhili took out the dagger from the inside of his boots. He was a little nervous and kept taking deep breaths.
He had only killed chickens, ducks and fish. He did not dare to touch those pigs, cattle, sheep and donkeys.
If a melee breaks out now, it is very likely that people will be killed, but in order to protect themselves, they can only... they can only kill.
Dozens of officers and soldiers rushed forward first, and then rushed forward faster.
Fighting in the mountains and forests, for Zhili who grew up jumping on the mountains since he was a child, the steep mountain roads are completely like walking on flat ground.
However, the opponent has a large number of people, and the follow-up troops are still coming in a steady stream.
And Zheli didn't eat for a whole day.
"There is no need to capture him alive!" Xu Cheng's patrol officer ordered from behind the crowd, "Whoever cuts off his head will be rewarded with one hundred taels of gold! Gold!!"
What does one hundred taels of gold mean? Few merchants on Wanjin Long Street can figure it out!
Everyone looked at the head hanging from Zhi Li's neck and couldn't care about anything else. They just wanted to chop it off with a knife as soon as possible.
"Don't force me!" Zhili said angrily, fighting and retreating.
"Kill you to death!"
"You can't escape!"
"go to hell!"
"Give me your head!"
…
"I don't want to kill anyone!" Zhili gritted his teeth, "Get out of here!"
A heavy and thick knife grazed his side and almost killed him.
His fragmented strength gradually disappeared, and he suddenly became furious: "Then I'll kill you!"
He quickly avoided a big knife, and the sharp dagger was like a knife in his hand. It raised a thin silver light in the air and quickly stabbed an officer and soldier in the neck.
Just about half a foot away, a whip cracked out, as if it could split the dark night. The officer and soldier's neck was entangled with a silver whip, and they were quickly pulled back to avoid the fatal blow.
Immediately afterwards, another dagger pierced the neck of the officer and soldier, and blood spurted out instantly.
Zhili gasped, raised his head and looked forward.
The girl's pale white skirt fluttered in the evening wind, and blood spattered on it, like plum blossoms.
She took away the whip and threw the dying man on the ground.
"Senior sister!" Zhili was ecstatic.
"As for the murder, senior sister is here." Xia Zhaoyi said in a deep voice.
With a light turn of steps, the silver whip sprouted sharp teeth and quickly attacked the next officer and soldier, followed by the dagger in his hand to meet him, swallowing and spitting out a life.
Zhili's eyes were red, and he had never wanted to cry so much.
The mountain wind howled, wolves howled, and the bright silver moonlight poured over the mountains and land. More and more soldiers and horses rushed towards the mountains.
People from nearby villages came out in large numbers, gathered around the foot of the mountain and pointed at the mountain.
Shen Lie cut open a patch of thorns with his dagger and walked quickly up the mountain along the almost pathless path.
The government mobilized more manpower to surround the mountain than he and Dai Yu imagined.
Not only the troops who went to Liujiacun today to "ask for an explanation", there will also be new troops added in. Shen Lie heard those officers and soldiers say with his own ears that someone had gone to the nearby barracks to mobilize troops, and it might be necessary to
Search the mountains, surround the mountains.
Xizhou is close to Hejing, and the troops and horses stationed in Xizhou are all top-notch soldiers and can be dispatched at any time to serve the royal family.
One of these soldiers was the Xuanwu Army that massacred nearly half of the schools and literati including Qingshan Academy in the capital. It can be said that they suffered a heavy debt of blood.
Many torches came this way, trying to get around Xia Zhaoyi and Zhili along the mountain road.
Shen Lie changed his grip on the dagger and looked towards the firelight with a heavy eyebrow to predict the number of people.
At this moment, a burst of shouting penetrated his ears.
"Sister! Let's go up from here!"
The young man Qingyue's clear voice is especially crisp at night, and his unique Zhaozhou accent and pronunciation are something that not many people can imitate.
Shen Lie immediately raised his head and looked towards the mountain. His line of sight was blocked and there were too many rock shelters. From this angle, he couldn't see the mountain at all.
The turbulent emotions roared wildly, more arrogant than the mountain wind. In an instant, a bright light suddenly appeared, and the silent Shili Pinghu Lake suddenly became vivid, clear, cold, but scorching.
No longer needing to predict the number of people, Shen Lie returned the dagger to the scabbard and drew the long sword from his back.
A peerless sword made by a top master. When it is taken off its sheath, it buzzes with jade and is not sluggish at all. When it breaks through the air, it is like a river flowing out of a valley and flowing into a river.
Birds in the surrounding forest started to fly away in panic.
The officers holding torches and taking shortcuts had no idea what was hidden in the darkness.
In the night, a pair of sharp eyes opened, silently staring at the vast world.
