Judging from the skills of the latest batch of assassins, they must be Yi Chenxuan's subordinates. After discussing with Qiao Qingxu, Zhan Ting and Qiao Qingxu entrusted Concubine Jing and others to General Ou Suiliang of the Yao Kingdom, and the two rode overnight to Xichu.
He ran in the same direction, and after walking less than ten miles, he saw a small snake circling and flying down. The copper ring on his ankle was stained with blood, and most of the note inside was soaked.
Zhan Ting quickly unfolded the note. The four big characters on it were all written in blood. It was obvious that he was not strong enough at the last word, and the end was long and weak.
"Longhuai has changed." He wrote the note tightly in his palm, Zhan Ting was anxious but helpless.
Qiao Qingxu also had a worried look on her face. She kissed Xiao Tuo's forehead and let him squat on her shoulder. She turned her head and said to Zhan Ting: "Longhuai County is far away from here and Fu Chu and the others must pass through it. At this time
It’s too late to rush there, so now we can only contact the brothers nearby for help.”
"You're arranging people, I'm really not familiar with them." Zhan Ting took out a blank note and an ink stick from the package and handed it to Qiao Qingxu, and suddenly felt a little sad, "It seems that something happened to Brother Luo... I'm sorry.
Qingxu, I always cause trouble for my brothers and cause them..."
"Since you have chosen to help the Seventh Prince, we are no longer on the same side, but brothers are willing to risk their lives to help you. Even if they lose their lives for this, no one will complain, so why should you blame yourself? We only hope that
If you can come back one day, saving Li'er may not be something only the seventh prince can do."
Unexpectedly, Zhan Ting shook his head lightly: "No, it's not because of Li'er. I serve His Highness without asking for anything in return." Halfway through, Zhan Ting's face showed a seriousness that Qiao Qingxu was very familiar with but always couldn't read.
Expression: "His Highness and I have known each other since we were children. He has never treated me as a minister. He would give me half of any good things. Later, something happened to Li'er, and His Highness, who was very disgusted with Emperor Yao, knelt down to plead for Li'er.
I will never forget these kindnesses, let alone betray His Highness. Qingxu, I also miss the days with you and my brothers, but I have a more important task, which is to protect His Highness for the rest of my life."
People who are familiar with Zhan Ting know that he is simple and honest, but Qiao Qingxu knows that he is also stubborn and stubborn that no one can overcome. Anyone who is recognized by Zhan Ting, he will treat that person wholeheartedly, such as Yi Chenjing
, that prince-general of the distant country who had nothing to do with Jianghu. Qiao Qingxu could somewhat understand Zhan Ting's loyalty. Although she was unwilling in her heart, she never said it, she only silently helped him and supported him, and she also hoped that one day he would
She could open her eyes and see clearly what kind of mood she was waiting for.
"Okay, why are you explaining so much to me? I didn't say I won't let you protect him." She whipped the horse's back hard, and Qiao Qingxu let go of Xiao Mao with the note, and her hearty smile returned to her face, "You...
Fool, it doesn’t matter even if you don’t come back, my—our hearts are all for you.”
Zhan Ting nodded gratefully, not noticing the bitterness flashing on the face of the no longer young woman.
This was the eighth year since the entire Zhan family was slaughtered and Zhan Ting was forced to become a bandit and became acquainted with Qiao Qingxu for a long time. Counting carefully, it should be the eighth year.
The man surnamed Luo who delivered the news to Zhan Ting was indeed dead. When Fu Chu knocked on the door and received no response, he had no choice but to break in. The body of the Longhuai County headhunter, whom everyone respectfully called Luo, was already stiff.
"The person who did it is very experienced. He picked the most vulnerable spot and killed him with one blow." Yi Chenjing briefly checked the wounds on Luo's head and neck, stood up, clapped his hands, and looked past Fu Chu to the door, "It seems that our whereabouts have been exposed.
If nothing else, we will be besieged as soon as we step out of the courtyard."
Luo Baotou is the person responsible for responding to them in Longhuai County, and he is the only one. Being able to find him here means that the enemy has figured out their personal movements. After killing Luo Baotou, he closed the door and let them break in. It should be
Just to catch a turtle in a jar.
In other words, the possibility of ambushing enemies outside the hospital is as high as 80-90%, and they have already walked into a trap.
It turned out that Yi Chenjing's speculation was completely correct, and the reality was worse than he expected - the impatient enemy couldn't even wait for them to walk out of the room to the open courtyard, and in the blink of an eye, more than twenty men in different clothes jumped from the wall.
came down and surrounded the houses where everyone was.
"The scene is too spectacular. Do you need so many people to bully six people?" When everyone's heartstrings were tense, Ning Xizui smiled slowly and bitterly, shaking the folding fan in his hand.
"Close the doors and windows." Bai Qige made a quick decision, "Everyone go into the back room, don't scatter, and try to find other ways out."
Bai Qige's reaction was slightly beyond Fu Chu's expectations. The calmness she showed at a tense moment was reflected in the young man's eyes, and there was a hint of admiration in his bright eyes. Ye Huawan was frightened by Luo Baotou's corpse just now, now
Still in shock, Mu followed Fu Chu blankly and closed all the windows and doors. When he returned to the center of the room, he subconsciously grabbed Yi Chenjing's sleeve and hid behind him.
Yi Chenjing originally wanted to protect Bai Qige behind him, but Ye Huawan's little tail made him unable to move. As a result, Ning Xizui took the lead. The free and easy blue-eyed young man with his light blond hair curled up stood next to Bai Qige.
He looked back and smiled as warmly as the spring breeze: "Miss Bai, I'm here to protect you."
"Take care of yourself." With one hand, he held Ning Xizui by his collar and threw him aside. Yi Chenjing grabbed his position domineeringly, and the thought of killing Ning Xizui first and then dealing with the enemy flashed through his mind.
.
That guy was obviously more attentive than she was and was extremely thick-skinned. Yi Chenjing cursed and took the time to glance at Ning Xizui coldly.
The house where Capt. Luo lives is not big. There are only two inner rooms except the living room where the body is found, and there is no back door for Bai Qige and others to escape. In other words, they are completely trapped. Yi Chen
Jing held Luo Baotou's saber in her hand and pushed everyone to the corner farthest from the door. She stood behind the door, holding the blade high, ready to kill the enemies who broke in at any time.
But, how can he deal with more than twenty enemies by himself?
Ye Huawan looked around briefly, opened the window and said in despair: "Three steps away from the window is the courtyard wall, there is no way to escape!"
"If there is a way to escape, will the enemy leave you a chance?" Bai Qige pushed the bookcase and blocked it in front of the door, raised her hand and pointed out the window, "Fu Chu, stack all the things that can be piled high together and climb over the courtyard wall.
"
Seeing Bai Qige take out the dagger from her waist, Yi Chenjing immediately understood what she wanted to do, and couldn't help but frown: "I don't have time for you to mess around. Go with them first, and I will try to stop them."
"I consider myself incompetent when it comes to kung fu, but when it comes to killing people, I may not be inferior to you." Bai Qige ignored his scolding and faced Yi Chenjing behind the other door. She was a special soldier, and her experience of close combat has always been in her memory.
In his mind, even though his strength is far inferior to his previous life, killing people with his skills is still not a problem.
Yi Chenjing was helpless. He knew Bai Qige very well and naturally knew that persuasion was impossible, so he could only nod and let her do what she did.
Although Fu Chu values loyalty, he does not lack calmness and reason. He understands that now is not the time to argue about who should stay and who should go. Every extra moment he wastes is adding pressure to Yi Chenjing and Bai Qige. The rustling footsteps of enemies outside are approaching.
, Fu Chu patted Ye Huawan's head, and at the same time took a deep breath and looked at Ning Xizui and Feng Wujiang: "Do as Sister Bai said, otherwise you can only sit back and wait for death."
Inside and outside the house, separated by a door, on one side was the sound of footsteps approaching cautiously and slowly, on the other side was the knocking sound of tables, chairs and low cabinets being moved, while the people between life and death were silent, suppressing their violently beating hearts and methodically trying to save themselves.
Those enemies probably didn't know the strength of the people in the house, so they didn't dare to act rashly. They waited until Fu Chu and the others dumped all the things they could move between the windows and the courtyard wall, and only waited until they had built a high barrier and climbed over the wall to escape before anyone tried to test it.
He pushed the door open, causing a sharp sound from the old wooden door.
Bai Qige and Yi Chenjing looked at each other, chin slightly tilted at the same time, beads of sweat dripping from the palms of the hands holding the dagger tightly.
There was no sound for a long time after the initial noise. Fu Chu stood outside the window and put his head into the room. Just as he was about to ask the two of them to jump over the wall and leave, the wooden door suddenly made a loud noise, and the thin bookcase that supported the door was instantly
Crash.
"Do it!" I don't know if it was Yi Chenjing or Bai Qige who shouted. The stunned young man saw blood mist rising up all over the sky, and the fishy-sweet smell penetrated into his nose, which was strong and nauseating.
The door of a small house is not much bigger. Thanks to the narrow door, the enemies who suddenly broke in had to line up and enter one after another. This brief moment gave Yi Chenjing and Bai Qige the opportunity to raise their swords.
Falling, four lives were already lost, and the enemy behind could not help but feel a little shocked or timid when they saw this. The moment their footsteps stopped, two more people were killed.
However, even if they gained some advantage by going first, Bai Qige and Yi Chenjing were still unable to completely stop the opponent's ten times more number. After killing nine people neatly, the remaining dozen or so enemies were suddenly reduced by half. Bai Qige was wondering
, only the sound of a series of green tiles breaking above the head was heard, and then several figures fell from the sky, joining forces with several people outside the door to surround the two. Those killers who are used to killing people quietly always have many methods, including climbing into the house.
Yes, it's just a daily routine for them.
"Sister Bai! Brother Chen! Let's go! Come on!" Fu Chu yelled with all his strength, but there was no chance for those two to escape. It was very difficult to avoid enemy attacks in a narrow house. No matter how hard they tried to move around, they tried to escape.
When moving in the direction of the window, it is never allowed to move forward half a step.
If this continues, isn't it certain that he will die?
Fu Chu couldn't imagine what would happen next, his voice was hoarse from shouting, and he still couldn't wait for those two bloody figures to come.
It was impossible to tell who was who among the chaotic and swaying figures. Screams and roars were heard one after another. There were flashes of swords and shadows in his eyes, and stumps and broken arms were everywhere. Fu Chu, who had never seen such cruel killings, gradually became confused. Even his face was spattered
There was a large blood stain and he didn't even notice it.
Yi Chenjing and Bai Qige were very difficult to deal with together. When the red-eyed enemy heard someone shouting outside the window, he swung his sword towards Fu Chu's head without thinking.
Seeing the light of the sword coming, Fu Chu, who didn't know how to move at all, had no way to avoid it. Ye Huawan, who was climbing over the wall, turned back to look at him blankly. He was so frightened that he collapsed and fell from the wall. At the same time, another
A flash of cold light flashed across the sword before it fell. The sword, which was less than a foot away from Fu Chu's scalp, was immediately knocked out and a round object rolled to the window.
It was a human head that had been severed by a sharp blade and stained with scarlet blood.
"Yi Zi! Pull him away!" Bai Qige, who came to the rescue at the critical moment, shouted angrily, and with a smooth push, Fu Chu was pushed hard to the hard courtyard wall three steps away.
Ye Huawan, who had fallen back into the courtyard, hurriedly got up when he heard the sound, hugged Fu Chu's arm and pulled him towards the wall. Before he reached the place, Fu Chu's exclamation in a changed tone burst into his ears.
"Sister Bai! Behind!"
Ye Huawan turned around and looked around. Behind Bai Qige, a fierce-looking man raised his blood-stained fist and quickly lowered it. What he held in his palm was an icy iron thorn with a cold light.
