Ni Chu

After Xiang Ye buried Zhao Tong, he piled up a lot of dead leaves and branches on the pit, and lit the fire with a click.

"Xiang Ye, you have the kind of sword to kill me," Zhao Tong, who was crushed under the fire, howled again after the flames burned up. He could feel the temperature of the flames, but because of the soil, What he felt was that the soil on his body was warm but not very hot.

Zhao Tong knew that when the fire burned completely, the soil covering his body would be roasted, and he would become a more roasted person than Guan Yijian, and maybe he would be burnt on the outside and tender on the inside like Guan Yijian , Sizzling oily.

Xiang Ye ignored Zhao Tong, but beckoned to Jing Ao, and together with Jing Ao turned over and jumped on the horseback, and the horse rushed out of the woods.

In the woods, only Zhao Tong's shrill howling and the "beep, beep, beep, beep" when the flames were burning were left.

Out of the woods, Xiang Ye and Jing Ao looked at the blazing fire from a distance, their faces flushed in the light of the fire, Xiang Ye had a look of cruelty on his face, and looked coldly at the burning forest.

Soon, the entire forest was on fire. Amidst the sound of "beep beep bobo" flames, Xiang Ye and Jing Ao heard a rush of horseshoes coming from the official road.

"Let's go, the pursuers are coming, get out of here quickly," Xiang Ye shouted to Jing Ao as he strangled Chiji.

Jing Ao nodded in response, followed behind Xiang Ye and drove quickly towards Pengcheng.

After about half a stick of incense, Xin Ling led five or six swordsmen from the sword mound and stood on the official road, their eyes focused on the burning forest.

Xin Ling's face was icy cold, he shook his head, said nothing, just reined in the reins, and shouted to the swordsmen behind him: "They haven't gone far, hurry up,"

Two days later, in Shaping Town, not far from Pengcheng, two men on horses were strolling along the small roads in the town.

"Jing Ao, what are you going to do?" Xiang Ye, who was riding on a red steed, turned his head and glanced at Jing Ao who was at the side, as if he had no intention of asking: "It's not suitable to kill the second king now, what do you want to do next? ,"

Jing Ao shook his head, and said in a daze, "I don't know. A swordsman like me is probably doomed to be a homeless man from birth. The world is so big, where is my home?"

"It's not that you don't have the conditions to stay, but that you don't want to stay from the bottom of your heart." Xiang Ye looked at Jing Ao and said, "With your ability, no matter which force you attach to, you will be reused. You have an insurmountable pride in your heart, the pride of a swordsman, you don't want to be dominated by anyone, you yearn for freedom, you just want to live this kind of life with the sword and do your own way, "

Jing Ao was silent. Although Xiang Ye's words were straightforward, they really spoke to his heart. He really didn't want to be attached to anyone. Ever since his master taught him swordsmanship, he has been unwilling to serve any powerful people. Doing things until the world was in chaos, many princes asked people to find him, but he still didn't agree to anyone.

He has pride, the pride of a swordsman. He is different from those swordsmen in the sword mound. His sword is only for cutting off the injustices in the world, not for gaining fame for himself.

"Follow me," the two rode together, Xiang Ye said to Jing Ao: "I am just a general now, but I believe that one day I will become a prince who rules the roost. You are a swordsman, but these days Here I have regarded you as a brother, you have complete freedom with me, no one will interfere and restrict your freedom, "

Jing Ao didn't speak, his eyes were fixed on the front, in front of them, there was a blind old woman, holding a bamboo pole in her hand, every time she took a step, she would use the bamboo pole to tap the ground, slowly moving towards They come here.

Seeing that Jing Ao didn't speak, Xiang Ye knew that it was not easy to persuade him, so he shook his head with a wry smile, and rode forward with him.

The street was very quiet, and the doors of many people's houses were closed. The two knew that there must be people living in these people's homes, but there was no other person in the whole street except the blind old woman.

Xiang Ye looked at the old woman from a distance. He always felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't tell what was wrong. He just frowned and looked at the mother-in-law who was walking towards them without blinking.

The old lady was getting closer and closer to the two of them. Although Jing Ao felt something was wrong, he didn't pay much attention to her. When she was only ten steps away from the two of them, Xiang Ye's eyes stopped on the old lady's feet. .

"Get out of the way," before Jing Ao came back to his senses, Xiang Ye, who was riding on Chiji's back, suddenly jumped up and pushed him off his horse.

At the same time, the old woman who was moving towards them held a bamboo pole horizontally in her hand, one end of the bamboo pole was facing Jing Ao, and a light and shadow shot out from the bamboo pole.

Jing Ao, who was pushed away, avoided the light and shadow, but Xiang Ye was hit straight.

The light and shadow hit Xiang Ye, and Xiang Ye fell to the ground in response. Jing Ao's eyes widened, looking at the small sword piercing Xiang Ye's chest in astonishment.

The little sword was only about an inch long. The blade was very thin and glowed with a faint blue light. It penetrated Xiang Ye's chest and pierced deeply. Blood was still gurgling from the wound.

Xiang Ye's face was pale, and he was lying on the ground on his back. His breathing was also a little short, and he was seriously injured.

Seeing that the flying sword had stabbed Xiang Ye, the mother-in-law sneered, and took out another small sword from her waist that was exactly the same as the one that stabbed Xiang Ye, and stuffed it into the bamboo pole.

While she was doing this, Jing Ao suddenly roared, drew out his long sword and rushed towards her.

An arc-shaped sword shadow slashed across the old woman's neck as Jing Ao waved his arm. When Jing Ao returned the sword and sheathed it, the woman's eyes were wide open, with an inconceivable expression, and she was stunned. Looking at Jing Ao, her head fell off her neck after a while, and her blood-spattered body fell down.

Jing Ao ran back to Xiang Ye, stretched out his hand to support Xiang Ye and shouted: "Xiang Ye, Xiang Ye, cheer up, I will take you away right away,"

Xiang Ye opened his eyes slightly, moved his lips a few times with difficulty, and burst out two words from his lips: "Go quickly,"

Right after Xiang Ye uttered the words "go quickly", twenty or thirty people in black clothes suddenly appeared on the street. The man in clothes shouted at Jing Ao: "We only need to look for him, and those who have nothing to do will get back quickly, so as not to hurt their lives."

Jing Ao looked coldly at the leading man in black, narrowed his eyes slightly and said: "Assassin Yanyun, if he hadn't saved me just now, I'm afraid you didn't say this to me at this moment, but to him Come on, I must take him away today, and kill anyone who stands in my way."

"Then you stay together," the leading man in black also squinted his eyes, waved his hand, and shouted at the men in black behind him, "Kill the two together,"

When the man in black rushed over, Jing Ao didn't hesitate at all, he threw Xiang Ye on his back, jumped up in the air, and just landed on Chi Ji's back.

It's strange to say that Chiji usually doesn't give rides to anyone except Xiang Ye, but this time Jing Ao jumped on his back with Xiang Ye on his back, but it was very well-behaved, with a long hiss, it spread its hooves towards the other side of the town. One exit rushed out.

Yanyun swordsman has always been known for his speed. After Chiji rushed out, many Yanyun assassins followed him and ran wildly.

However, after running for a while, they were surprised to find that chasing the horses was not a very hard work, but they were quickly thrown farther and farther by the two-hunted Chi Ji, and finally they could only see a small red light spot.

After escaping from Shaping Town, Jing Ao kept calling Xiang Ye all the way to tell him not to fall asleep, and the two of them rushed for forty or fifty miles on the red horse, and then gradually slowed down.

"Qingqing Zijin, care about my heart, even if I don't go, Zining will not heir, Qingqing Zipei, leisurely I think, even if I don't go, Zining won't come, pick and go, stay in the city, I won't see you for a day, It's like March," Jing Ao pulled Xiang Ye off the horse, and just let him lie down, there was a burst of singing from the path.

He turned his head and glanced at the place where the singing sound came from, only to see a young man carrying a burden, followed by two young children, a man and a woman, walking towards them.

Seeing someone approaching, Jing Ao hastily went up to meet him, bowed to the young man and said, "May I ask if there is any doctor around here? My brother was seriously injured. If we don't get medical treatment, I'm afraid he will die from his injuries."

After hearing Jing Ao's words, the young man hesitated for a moment, glanced at the two children and said to Jing Ao: "The mountains are high and the mountains are wild, where can I find a doctor, I have some herbs here, why don't you take it from Mr. , you can stop the bleeding for your friend, too,"

Jing Ao heard that there are herbal medicines that can stop bleeding, so he nodded repeatedly, but then he said with embarrassment: "Although I know how to use herbal medicines, but I have no utensils, I hope you can help me think of a way."

The young man frowned, waved his hand at Jing Ao and said, "Forget it, take me to see it first."

When Jing Ao led the young man and two children to the unconscious Xiang Ye, the little boy shouted to the young man in surprise: "Daddy, isn't this your benefactor?"

After the little boy yelled, the little girl on the side also looked at Xiang Ye lying on the ground in surprise, a pair of small hands grabbed the young man's trouser legs and shouted to him: "Daddy, save him."

The young man looked at Xiang Ye's pale face in astonishment, and sighed helplessly: "Benege, oh benefactor, you clearly want me, Han Xian, to have a hard time living comfortably. If I save you today, I'm afraid troubles will follow again." And to, "

As soon as he heard that Han Xian was able to save Xiang Ye, and it seemed that Xiang Ye had been kind to him before, Jing Ao was overjoyed, and quickly bowed to Han Xian and said: "Sir, please save General Xiang, if Mr. If you are willing to save General Xiang, I, Jing Ao, will repay you in the future."

Han Xian smiled wryly, and said to Jing Ao: "Sir, you are too polite. General Xiang has done me a favor earlier, how can I not repay the favor, sir, please wait by the side, I will examine the wound first, and then I will talk."
