I became an exiled convict after we got married

Chapter 97 Escape
Wan Jinlan's shoulder was cut, her cotton-padded jacket was torn, and her flesh was opened. She bared her teeth in pain.

Xiao Feng grabbed her and rushed towards the direction where the messengers gathered.

Even if these people don't save them, they can serve as their shields.

"Be smarter. The emperor is getting old. My second sister's husband, Xiao Minghuan, is now the most likely person to take the throne. Let's stay on top of things and see each other in the future."

These words are of no use to the hidden guards sent by the emperor, but they are still somewhat useful to ordinary interpreters.

"Those who help me today will be rewarded with a lot of money."

Wan Jinlan and Xiao Feng dodged among the messengers, and the assassins who were shooting arrows secretly did not stop shooting arrows. The two turned the people brought by the messengers on their backs. The messengers who heard this did not respond, and the ordinary messengers looked at each other. , Seeing that those people didn't respond, they all held the knife obediently, and didn't help the two of them, but just dodged the cold arrow.

Although these assassins didn't even say a word, they had an extraordinary tacit understanding with the messengers. One side didn't save them, and the other side chased and killed Wan Jinlan and Xiao Feng.

Wan Jinlan saw Xiao Feng knocking down the leader's collar to the ground, she hurried to the front, dodging the bow and arrows shot by the assassin, knelt down on the knees, just in front of the leader, the chain quickly locked his throat, Xiao Feng yanked Get out the key hanging from his waist.

Before Wan Jinlan ran away, he slapped the head of the dispatcher's face with his elbow hard, causing his nose to bleed: "You took my father's money, and you still don't do anything after taking my money, you dog, you really did it!" loyalty."

"Today's enmity, even if we are ghosts, we will not let you go."

The emotions surging in Wan Jinlan's chest were so high that she didn't even know what she was talking about.

Maybe God couldn't see her running wild, and before taking two steps, she was tripped by a messenger and fell into the muddy ground mixed with broken leaves and snow.

Wan Jinlan recognized him, he was the one who had been watching her all the time during the night watch.

At this time, the annoying expression on the face of the messenger was gone, and he even signaled her with his eyes.

The killer pursued very closely, and there were hidden arrows coming from a distance, Xiao Feng's hands and feet were bound, Wan Jinlan fell down, he stood in front of him and was hit by an arrow in the abdomen, and narrowly avoided the long knife drawn, he was in a panic Dealing with the killer.

Wan Jinlan grabbed the cold thing in his hand, and kicked the poor man away, rolled over like a donkey, got up and fled into the night.

The most urgent task for the two of them now is to open the anklet, otherwise how can they escape.

The assassins followed closely and disappeared into the night.

"Head, why don't we go take a look?" A hidden guard asked.

"They snatched the key from my waist, and your head is gone too."

After one of the clerks said this in shock, the other two groped their waists and found that the keys were gone.

A sneer appeared on the leader's lips, and he wiped some blood on his face, "The key is used to confuse them. If they can't open the lock, they can't escape. There is only one dead end."

The other three people holding the key looked shocked.

The leader took the lead and led the people to the dense forest, not worried that the two would escape alive.

"Live to see people, die to see corpses, they can't run very far."

At this time, Xiao Feng and Wan Jinlan rolled down the hillside, finally getting a moment of respite.

The two hurriedly used the keys they had to try to open the chain.

Wan Jinlan directly opened the anklet with the last one, and subconsciously changed the key to open the bracelet.

Suddenly, she sensed something was wrong, "How many do you have?"

"Three, none of them can be used!" Xiao Feng looked ugly.

There are not only wolves in this wilderness, but also assassins, if it is inconvenient to move, there is no way to survive.

Wan Jinlan grabbed the key to unlock the anklet and tried to open the bracelet.

The lock is open.

Before Wan Jinlan could open the bracelet, the assassin finally approached.

Xiao Feng's hands and feet were no longer restrained, and he walked in the dark forest with a condensed expression, attracting the attention of all assassins.

With a scream, the weapon in the assassin's hand fell into Xiao Feng's hands, and with a swipe of the sharp long sword, an assassin was instantly killed.

Wan Jinlan finally opened the lock after shaking her hands for a moment.

The sound of shattering dead leaves reached her ears, and she suddenly jumped up and swung the chain out.

The assassin let out a scream, his face was bloody.

Wan Jinlan took the opportunity to strangle him to death with chains.

There was no longer any shackles on the two of them, and they ran for their lives as if there were ghosts chasing their lives behind them.

On a cold winter night, Wan Jinlan was sweating profusely, with stab wounds on his back and shoulders.

Xiao Feng is not much better than her.

The wind whistled in my ears, but the assassin behind me couldn't get rid of it.

Under the moonlight, a river bank ahead was revealed.

What is even more gratifying is that a small fishing boat is docked in the yellow grass on the river bank.

Both of them breathed a sigh of relief.

After boarding the boat, paddle down the river.

A few arrows were shot unwillingly, and the two fell on their backs on the boat. After a while, the night returned to calm.

Wan Jinlan collapsed on the boat, looking up at the night sky, "This archer is not very good, he has never shot a single arrow, and the golden silk soft armor was prepared for nothing."

Xiao Feng looked at the marks on his abdomen that had been pierced by the arrow, and the corners of his mouth twitched.

I don't know if there is poison on the arrowhead, but he was wearing soft gold silk armor inside, which didn't hurt him.

When both of them thought that the danger was temporarily lifted, the ship leaked.

When Wan Jinlan noticed the coolness of her feet, a long knife suddenly stabbed out from the bottom of the boat, shining brightly and coldly under the moonlight.

She raised her spirits and turned over, her back was almost pierced, it was really thrilling.

Xiao Feng stabbed the long knife he snatched from the assassin, and there was a muffled sound from the bottom of the boat.

The river was wide and the boat sank extremely fast.

The assassin was still swimming in the water extremely tenaciously, trying to end the lives of the two of them.

"Diving", Xiao Feng said in a deep voice.

Wan Jinlan breathed a sigh of relief, and it was too late to take off the outer cotton coat to reduce the weight, and the bag that was slung across the shoulders and neck was still hanging.

The river water in winter can be imagined to be icy cold.

The assassin was extremely tenacious, and the two wrestled with him until Wan Jinlan's whole body was almost stiff, before they finally dealt with him.

Seeing that she was moving slowly, Xiao Feng carried her up to the surface of the river. The two of them dealt with wolves first, then fought with assassins, and got soaked in the icy river water.

In winter, the half-curved moon hangs high in the sky, shedding a cool brilliance.

Xiao Feng raised his breath and sent Wan Jinlan to the bank of the river. Once on the bank, he looked around and saw a small village in the north.

He thought about it in his heart, it is not suitable to stay here for a long time.

Soldiers and assassins will surely follow the river to find them.

If you want to stay here to recuperate your injuries, you need to find a place that is completely safe from people's eyes and ears.

Wan Jinlan's whole body was wet from inside to outside, trembling uncontrollably, her face turned blue.

"It's safer to hide from tomorrow."

Even though she was about to be unable to hold on anymore, Wan Jinlan forced a sigh of relief.

They will not be found in this area tomorrow, and the messenger and the killers will only think that the two of them fled down the river in a boat and fled to other areas.

The two supported each other and found a low grass shed.

There is no one in the thatched hut, there is a stone bed, and a stove and other living utensils.

With the moonlight, it is not very clear to see the interior, the only thing that can be guaranteed is that this thatched cottage is currently unoccupied.

Xiao Feng could only temporarily place Wan Jinlan on the stone bed, and then fumbled for a long time to light the brazier.

Wan Jinlan took off her outer shirt, and sat on the edge of the stone bed in her underwear, grilling around the brazier.

"Don't be too busy, let's warm up first."

His body has never recovered, and the current situation will only be worse than him.

Xiao Feng let out a soft "hush", and Wan Jinlan tensed up instantly.

Suddenly there was the sound of heavy footsteps outside.
