Rune

Chapter 16 The Giant Coffin
After the first stroke, there must be a second stroke.

Between the lightning and the flint, before the foot landed, the wind of the fist had arrived, and the sharp-edged fist was tightly clenched with a bony and hard texture.

The Qin army has a knife, no matter how strong the body is exercised, it is not steel after all, after the flesh and blood body is cut by the knife, it will inevitably be cut to pieces, and the blood and bones will be separated!
But Xu Baiyan didn't retreat, instead he rushed towards the opponent, the path was straight, shoulders lowered, elbows extended, turned into the most angular handwriting, and smashed into Qin Jun's arms.

There was another muffled sound, the bones and the armor collided heavily, and the body protected by the armor slammed into the wall behind him solidly. Qin Jun only felt that his entire chest was suddenly sunken, and his sternum Squeezing his lungs, brushing lightly against the membrane outside the heart, a sense of suffocation suddenly rushed to the top of his head.

The bow is fast within twenty steps, the crossbow is fast within ten steps, and the sword is fast within five steps!The knife is fast within three steps!One step is still fast!Knives are fast all the time!
But the distance between Xu Baiyan and Qin Jun is much closer than one step. The two big men are like lovers who haven't seen each other for a long time. Shooting the most dangerous and decisive murderous intent.Xu Baiyan's shoulders touched the opponent's armpits, and his knees hit the opponent's thighs. In the smallest space, every joint was making the most tragic collision.

boom! boom! boom!
It was like a hammer smashing into the flesh, accompanied by a slight bone cracking sound from time to time, and numbers with unknown meanings again and again.

"Four down. Five down"

Everyone has a small account book in their hearts, and Xu Baiyan is the same. There are many things recorded in that small book, ranging from the military industry that can be exchanged for every horse thief's head to as small as a feathered arrow, one shift at a time.

But his account book is very strange. A few years ago, an old soldier's mother in the army fell ill. Xu Baiyan directly gave away all his money, leaving only the most basic living needs and money for tuition fees.

This kind of account, the moment he gave it out, he erased it on the small book, and never expected to get it back.

However, like the few kicks that Qin Jun kicked him just now, he recorded them in the account book very clearly, and bolded and emphasized them. When the time is right, he will definitely return them intact.

And at this moment, it is the most suitable time, so Xu Baiyan counts every time very carefully, for fear that he will make a mistake.

"Ten! Eleven! .21!"

Finally, under 21!
No more at once, no less at once!
Xu Baiyan panted heavily, staggered, and slowly took two steps back. The Qin Jun was limp and slid down the wall, already unconscious.

"Fifth, I'm a reasonable person. You kicked me so many times just now, and I took it all. But I just hit you with the head, and you're going to hack me to death. That's unreasonable! What an unreasonable place, how can I help you?"

Xu Baiyan finally said what he hadn't finished just now, and his mood suddenly became much happier.

Then, without looking at Qin Jun again, he turned and ran out of the alley.

Now he has to find that woman, that lazy and greedy school teacher. He has to find out what's going on.

In the night, Xu Baiyan was running at a frighteningly fast speed. He came to Yucheng Academy, but there was no Qin Bing here, only the gatekeeper passed out on the ground. Xu Baiyan tried his breath. He didn't die, but was beaten. fainted.

Xu Baiyan ran to Zhu Sha's residence again, but there was still no one here, and the furniture, tables and chairs in the room were all in chaos.

There was a smear of bright red on the ground, not blood, but Zhu Sha's wine pot that never left his hand, which was thrown on the ground casually, very lonely and conspicuous.

Apparently this has been searched too.

He knew his teacher. It was so late, she was either drinking or sleeping, and at this moment, she was not in the room, which meant that she knew something was going to happen.

So where will she go?
Suddenly, Xu Baiyan thought of something, he quickly exited the door, and then ran out of the city.

When passing by the city gate, he found that all the night guards at the gate had been put down. Xu Baiyan was anxious and walked through the fields outside the city. He galloped through the mouth of the canyon where even weeds were unwilling to grow.

If Zhu Sha wanted to hide, she would definitely hide there.

Finally, Xu Baiyan ran to the front of the canyon.

It is the canyon where I usually practice poetry. This is the most inaccessible place near Yucheng.

But in the next moment, he was stunned in place.
Perhaps there have never been so many people at the mouth of this canyon.

Qin Jun
Qin army in one place!

These Qin soldiers did not stand, but lay on the ground one by one!

They couldn't stand up, they rolled and wailed on the ground, or they passed out directly.

Not far away, a strong wind blew through the narrow passage of the canyon, and a bright red dazzling dress danced wildly in the wind. Zhu Sha held a Qin soldier's collar in one hand, and dragged slowly on the ground.

Suddenly, she saw Xu Baiyan. The teacher and student who had known each other for five years looked at each other for a while at this weird and frightening scene.

Zhu Sha's face was reddish, and she seemed to be a little drunk. She let go, threw Qin Jun in her hand on the ground, and scratched her head embarrassedly.

"Here you. hiccup~ sorry for the trouble"

Xu Baiyan's eyes were wide open, he didn't know which thing to be shocked first.

It was Qin Jun who was fully armed here, but kept howling; or the teacher who was still drunk at this juncture.
He forcibly suppressed all the shock and doubts in his heart, and only asked one question.

"They... said you should die!"

Zhu Sha smiled: "In the eyes of some people, [-]% of the people in the Great Qin Empire deserve to die."

"I'm not asking this, I just want to know. Are you a good person after all?"

Zhu Sha was stunned for a moment, then began to laugh, in this empty Gobi night, the smile seemed to bloom.

"I said... You are eighteen years old, why are you still struggling with the words 'good guy' or 'bad guy'? There is no way to define this thing, right?"

Xu Baiyan nodded: "I know it's hard to define, but I still have a standard in my heart, you know me, you know my standard"

Zhu Sha's smile faded slightly: "Then I'm curious, what would you do if I were a good person?"

"I'll help you escape first."

"What if I'm a bad guy?"

Xu Baiyan hesitated for a moment: "I don't know, but it is absolutely impossible for me to let you die for no reason. Even if you are really guilty, then you should have the right to the court, not a killer sent by the military department. Silently killing in this desolate place. And the most important point. I think you are a good person, as I said, I see people quite accurately."

These were very sincere and heart-warming words, but Zhu Sha's smile faded away a little bit. She stretched her hands to her waist, but found that the flagon was not on her body, so she sighed.

"Xu Baiyan, you are a bit too upright. This is not a good character. If one day, you can understand that the good and the bad in this world are actually the same thing, you might not say what you said today."

Xu Baiyan didn't think about this sentence carefully, he didn't have time, so he said: "I don't understand."

"Of course you don't understand. Few people can understand this."

"So are you a good person?"

Zhu Sha was silent for a while, as if she was seriously thinking about this question, and after a while: "Yes!"

This word made Xu Baiyan exhale all the turbidity in his chest, he stretched his frowning brows, and then smiled happily: "Okay, I will help you."

"Help me escape?"

"En!" Xu Baiyan nodded heavily: "Do you need me to do anything?"

Zhu Sha shook her head slightly: "No need, if you have to say it, then help me live a good life, don't you still owe that girl surnamed Xie a lot of money, you have to pay it back"

"You don't need to say that I will live a good life, and I will pay back the money, but..."

Before Xu Baiyan finished speaking, Zhu Sha interrupted him: "I really don't need you to do anything, this is not to be polite to you, but because you can't do anything."

As she spoke, she smiled and stretched lazily and vigorously.Then, he looked in an empty direction.

Just tens of miles away in that direction, more than a dozen tall horses stood quietly in the night wind, as if they felt the gaze from afar, they began to scratch the sand in front of them with their front hooves restlessly.

Behind the carriage was a huge box ten meters long.

There was a short man next to the box. During the whole process when Qin Bing entered Yucheng to hunt Zhu Sha, he didn't move, just stayed there quietly.

Until this moment. He finally raised his head slightly, then bent his body, stretched out his withered hands, and tugged at the white cloth wrapped outside the box.

With this tug, the white cloth rustled away.

A huge coffin ten meters long was exposed below.
