It was early winter, and the ground in the forest was full of dead branches. Xu Zizhen breathed a sigh of relief. This terrain was very suitable for escape, because as long as someone was chasing him, the dead branches on the ground would make a warning sound.
He no longer thought about it and ran into the forest in a flash, disappearing quickly. However, he didn't seem to notice that a black shadow flashed past not far behind him and followed him into the forest.
After a while, another black figure appeared and followed him in. However, these two black figures did not let the dead branches on the ground make a sound.
The woods in winter have a desolate atmosphere, with not a single green leaf on the bare branches, but it is because of this that the moon can shine into the woods and shine softly on the ground.
Xu Zizhen was very hungry and tired. He had not had a drop of water since morning, let alone a meal. The running and fighting for most of the day made his throat almost smoke. He slowed down and looked around.
It's a pity that I can't find any water source as far as I can see, and I can't even see any wild fruits.
A hint of the rich and fragrant aroma of wine suddenly drifted into his nose. Xu Zizhen suddenly stopped and raised his head to look ahead.
The faint moonlight clearly shone on a tree in front of him, and Xu Zizhen clearly saw someone sitting on the treetop, holding a wine bag in his hand and drinking slowly, looking extremely leisurely.
"Huh... good wine, um, Xu Zizhen, you are here as expected." The man wiped his mouth with his sleeve and raised the wine bag to Xu Zizhen, "Want a sip?"
"Hey, isn't this Mr. Yao? He stayed up late at night and came to the barren mountains to drink. He was in a good mood." Xu Zizhen looked at the playful smiling face, but his heart tightened. The pretender sitting on the tree was the person who was just standing in the mountain.
Yao Yunhe escaped from Yukou, but what made him nervous was not Yao Yunhe's skill, but that he actually knew that he would take this path.
Yao Yunhe jumped down from the tree and said with a smile: "I don't have that ability. This is all calculated by His Highness the Fourth Prince."
Xu Zizhen sneered: "Oh? In such a short time, you have already met Wu Shu and you can rush in and intercept me? No wonder you can't catch you when you run away. I admire you."
Yao Yunhe was not angry at all, and ignored his teasing, saying: "The fourth prince said as early as after you appeared that it is not easy to catch you Xu Zizhen, not within the city, not outside the city, the only one who can stop you is
There is this place." At this point, he paused and continued with a smile on his lips, "The fourth prince also said that Xu Zizhen is a person who values love and justice, so you will definitely lead us away alone and let others leave safely.
go."
"Jin Xiaosi understands me so well? It's a pity that I'm a straight man, he has no chance." Xu Zizhen smiled on his face, but his heart was not calm. He knew that Wushu was very powerful in both civil and military skills, but he didn't expect that he could calculate so far.
With such details, it’s no wonder that historically he was able to harm the Song Dynasty in the coming decades.
Yao Yunhe obviously didn't understand what a straight man meant, and he didn't bother to figure it out. Anyway, he knew that what came out of Xu Zizhen's mouth was basically nothing good. He raised the wine bag in his hand again: "You really don't want to take a sip?"
Xu Zizhen yawned: "Stop whining, come here if you want to take my life." As he said this, he turned over his hand and showed the knife.
Yao Yunhe smiled and shook his head: "You are not my enemy, so let your friend come out to help you."
Do you want to make me look back? Do you think I'm stupid? Xu Zizhen sneered and said: "Master Yao, at your level, it's a bit boring to just try to make a fool of yourself."
Yao Yunhe smiled and said nothing, just looking behind him. Xu Zizhen was about to say a few words to him, but he heard the sound of wind on clothes behind him, and then a fragrant wind floated, and suddenly there was someone beside him.
Xu Zizhen was startled. He turned his head to look and was shocked to find that it was Lin Chaoying. He was stunned and said: "Nvxia Lin? You...why are you here?"
Lin Chaoying's face was full of vigilance, and she stared at Yao Yunhe with a pair of almond-shaped eyes, and said: "Sister Gao said that if there are pursuers, you will act like a hero and lead the pursuers away by yourself, so let me protect you secretly in the opposite direction of the others.
, and as expected, Sister Gao guessed it right."
Xu Zizhen has black hair, and Gao Pujun is like a roundworm in his belly. He can even guess this... Uh, no, Wu Shu seems to have guessed that this guy is also a roundworm.
Xu Zizhen breathed a sigh of relief when Lin Chaoying arrived. Although this girl was not old, she was very skilled. With her cooperation, it shouldn't be a problem to kill Yao Yunhe.
Yao Yunhe seemed to feel the difference in Lin Chaoying. He frowned and put away the wine bag.
Xu Zizhen said with a smile: "Master Yao, are you still thinking of taking my life?"
Yao Yunhe slowly stood up straight and said, "Well, I didn't expect the appearance of this little girl, but your life still needs to be taken."
Xu Zizhen said: "Oh? Are you really sure?" As he said that, he took two steps to the side and faced Yao Yunhe in a flanking attack with Lin Chaoying. He took a deep breath and slowly tightened the knife with his palm. Yao Yunhe's kung fu made him
He didn't see everything, but he believed that he and Lin Chaoying would work together to kill this bastard who had forgotten his ancestors.
Taoist priest Xuanyi died, and he died in the trap set by Wu Shu. In Xu Zizhen's heart, Wu Shu and the traitor were bound to die, and Yao Yunhe was the dog with the sharpest teeth in Wu Shu's trap. Naturally, he could not let go.
However, killing him would be to avenge one-third of Taoist Master Xuanyi's death.
A meaningful smile appeared on Yao Yunhe's lips, and he suddenly changed the topic: "The cavalry can't go up that road on the mountainside. Once you get to the bottom of the mountain, you can go back to the Taihang Mountains not far away. You should know this, right?"
Xu Zizhen didn't understand what he meant when he said this, and frowned slightly as he looked at him.
The smile on Yao Yunhe's lips grew thicker, and he continued: "It's just... there is a small valley at the bottom of the mountain. The place is not big, but it is not a problem to hide hundreds of people. Do you know this?"
Xu Zizhen was horrified. Yes, Wu Shu had calculated that he would go here, and he must have also calculated that others would take the road on the mountainside. Yao Yunhe specifically mentioned this valley, which clearly meant that people were already ambushed there. The heroes thought that
If it is safe, you will definitely be caught off guard.
"What do you want to tell me?" Xu Zizhen asked with a solemn face.
Yao Yunhe smiled: "It's nothing, I just think that I may not be able to defeat you and this little girl joining forces, but it's okay to wait for a stick of incense. Of course, if you rush to tell Yu Chen now,
Monk, maybe it’s still too late.”
Xu Zizhen immediately understood what Yao Yunhe meant. If he rushed to stop Master Yu Chen now, they would naturally not fall into an ambush again. However, the current joint effort would turn into a lonely battle against the enemy Yao Yunhe. Whether it was him or Lin Chaoying, they would be alone.
None of them are Yao Yunhe's opponents.
Looking at the proud look in Yao Yunhe's eyes, Xu Zizhen took a deep breath and said decisively: "Nvxia Lin, you have long legs, so I'll leave the reporting job to you."
