Jiaohua

Chapter 1250
The oncoming river wind seemed to blow people away, the moonlight dispelled the darkness, and the red clothes in the wilderness flew wildly, enchanting like flames.

"My lord, there is a village over there!" A swordsman pointed to the fishing village in the distance.

"Let's go into the village," said another swordsman, "I'll take some villagers hostage!"

Dongfang Shi followed them, his handsome face was cold, his beautiful eyes were gloomy looking at the village in front of him, the black hair on his forehead was blown away by the strong wind, he had a deeper outline than ordinary people.

"...No, not right." Dongfang Ten stopped.

"My lord?!" The two swordsmen looked at him.

Dongfang Shi turned his head and looked towards the river in the northwest.

"Xia's army will not know that there are fishing villages nearby," Dongfang Ten mused. "They are hypocritical and show benevolence. Before they came to find us, they might have entered these fishing villages to be enshrined and loved by these foolish people. We will go there at this time, no doubt. Casting a net, presumably that village has already laid a net."

"Well, my lord has fought against them on the border for many years, and must be well versed in their nature, so now..."

"Change clothes." Dongfang Ten looked at the swordsman on the right, "take off your clothes."

The swordsman said without hesitation, "Yes!"

There were only two of them left, and the two swordsmen rushed across the open field to the long road into the village.

Dongfang Ten, who changed into swordsman clothes, hid in the darkness, sneaked into the northwest river, let the frozen bone and cold river engulf him, and swam to the opposite bank.

·
The torches were brightly lit along the river, and the swordsmen were dead or wounded, and a few fled. The soldiers of Yan Jun were chasing and cleaning up.

After counting the number of people, Zhao Jixiang came over to report to Shen Lie.

None of these swordsmen were vegetarians, and each of them had extremely superb skills. In the conflict with them, Yan Jun also suffered casualties, with one death and five injuries.

Apart from reporting the situation, the men behind Zhao Jixiang were still detaining a middle-aged man.

The man was about forty years old, his eyes shrank and dodged, his face was sallow and haggard, like a piece of paper pasted on a skeleton, empty.

"This man's surname is Qiao," Zhao Jixiang said, "He said he wanted to see General Ali."

Shen Lie glanced at him, and said coldly: "There is no need to meet him, check to see if he has committed any crimes, if not, let him go."

"Did you hear that?" Zhao Ji said to the man.

The man trembled, mustered up his courage and was about to speak, but saw that Shen Lie's eyes had turned away.

Shen Lie looked at Yu Xiaozhou who was sitting by the river shivering. It was summer night, even if Yu Xiaozhou was shirtless, he shouldn't be frozen like this.

"Go get some clothes." Shen Lie said to Ye Zheng.

There were people by the riverside and boats on the river, Yu Xiaozhou looked at them and gritted his teeth.

The plain vest shirt he was wearing had been torn long ago, his skinny body shrunk into a ball, and he himself wondered why he was trembling uncontrollably.

"Did they hurt you?" A clear and deep male voice suddenly sounded from behind, as if completely melting into the cold night.

Yu Xiaozhou paused, turned around, and hurriedly got up: "Shen, General Shen!"

Shen Lie looked at his body several times, and checked him when he was rescued just now, and there was no obvious trauma on his body.

"It's cold?" Shen Lie said.

"I, I don't know what's going on..."

"Maybe he's sick," Shen Lie said, turning his head to look at Wu Shaoning, "Send him back first, and let Du Xuan take a look at him."

"Yes." Wu Shaoning responded.

"No, don't bother," Yu Xiaozhou said embarrassingly, "General Shen, I'm fine."

"This is for you," Shen Lie handed over a dagger, "hold it for self-defense."

Yu Xiaozhou looked down, and saw that the dagger was only a foot long, thick in texture, black ink was applied all over the body, bright in color, decorated with silver plating, lapis lazuli and turquoise were embellished on the silver edge, delicate and exquisite, and copper silver plating was faintly visible on the handle of the knife Pan Chi pattern.

The whole dagger is exquisite in workmanship, thick and majestic, but low-key and unassuming.Yu Xiaozhou hesitated to take it, and looked up at Shen Lie.

"Dai Yu and Du Xuan praised you," Shen Lie said, "Kang Jian also mentioned you."

Yu Xiaozhou said embarrassingly: "Yes, but I didn't help much..."

At the beginning, he volunteered himself, saying that he wanted to be a bait to lure out the master, but in the end, the master was not lured out, but was taken hostage by his uncle...

"Master." Ye Zheng came over with a piece of clothing.

"Give it to him." Shen Lie said, turning around and looking at Wu Shaoning before leaving.

Wu Shaoning nodded, and said to Yu Xiaozhou: "Little brother, let's go."

Yu Xiaozhou clenched the dagger in his hand, thought for a while, and suddenly shouted at the back of Gao Chang in front: "General Shen!"

Shen Lie stopped and turned back.

"I don't know how many swordsmen there are, but there is Bian Yuanfeng, that Mo Haizhu! He is a prisoner of these swordsmen, but I searched and searched just now, but I didn't see him, and I don't know where he is! Besides him, There is also a woman with a yellow complexion. This woman is extremely ruthless. She and Lin Qingfeng seem to have never met each other. Just because my master pretended to be Xia Jiajun, she suddenly attacked Lin Qingfeng! I suspect that this person really hates People, maybe Xia Jiajun, or Miss Ali!"

Shen Lie looked solemnly, and looked at the swordsmen with black eyes, thinking about what he saw just now, he didn't see any women.

"My master is gone too," Yu Xiaozhou said, "General Shen, they might have escaped while they were in disorder!"

"Okay," Shen Lie said to him, "I see, thank you for letting me know."

After finishing speaking, Shen Lie turned to give instructions to his subordinates.

Yu Xiaozhou looked at Wu Shaoning: "Brother Lao took me away."

"It's easy to say." Wu Shaoning said.

Five miles to the southwest of them, on the river beach where Xia Junnan led his team just now, the man in gray was also counting the casualties.

Because of the fierce battle all the way, the casualties on his side were more serious, and the number of people continued to accumulate.

But compared to the casualties, it was Lin Qingfeng's face that worried him more.

Lin Qingfeng was crying almost out of strength, and kept muttering, asking people to find her uncle, Qingzhou Shenglao, Fan Zhuyi as soon as possible.

But let alone Fan Zhuyi, the man in gray couldn't even find her master Tongdu shoe repairer Ji Hong.

"General, there is still no whereabouts of Mr. Ji." The subordinate came back and said.

The man in gray frowned. Seeing the ships of the Xia family army on the river, he thought for a while and said, "Send someone to the Xia family army to ask for favors, and see if you can bring a military doctor or someone with excellent medical skills."

"Yes!"

"Don't!" Lin Qingfeng yelled weakly, "Fang Yiping! No, don't!"

She got to where she is today, and she knows exactly who it is because of!
If someone from the Xia family army was invited over, she would most likely die right now!

The man in gray looked troubled, and at this moment, a hoarse roar sounded from afar.

Everyone looked up.

Fan Zhuyi and Ji Hong fought each other, twisted into a ball, and rolled out.

"If you don't save me, you won't save me!!" Fan Zhuyi scratched Ji Hong's face.

Ji Hong didn't let up, and while scolding him back, he ripped off his few gray hairs.
