In a quiet small county town, the sword light suddenly lit up on this day.

"Stop! Where are you going!" several black-clothed men shouted all the way, releasing powerful energy from time to time in their hands, with different colors and lusters, like waves of spiritual power fluctuations tumbling and whistling, directly crushing all the stalls along the way. Even the people who couldn't dodge were covered in blood on the spot and fell to the ground.

Some townspeople were so angry that they wanted to come forward to theorize, but when some well-informed people recognized that the robes they were wearing were from the Nine Shadows Palace, the voices of opposition suddenly died down.

Yes, who can fight with the Nine Shadows Palace? Like them, even if they kill others directly, no one will dare to come out and say half a word. Those who were injured could only admit that they were unlucky, and paid out of their own pockets to go to the hospital to see a doctor, and those who died could only wrap a broken straw mat and throw it into a mass grave outside the city.

The person who was chased by several Nine Shadow Holy Envoys at the same time was covered in blood, and he thought that there had been many tragic battles along the way. But seeing that his pace was getting slower and slower, it was obvious that it was his limit to be able to escape here.

The Nine Shadows Holy Envoy who was chasing and killing also saw that he was the end of the crossbow, but they did not let their guard down. After all, the person in front of him was personally ordered by His Holiness to be hunted down, and if he was allowed to escape, they would not be able to afford to bear the crime.

Seeing that there was a wall at the end, and there was no way to retreat around, the blood-clothed man gritted his teeth and stood still, transporting the spiritual power of his whole body, his palms interlaced, and a ball of fireball condensed and formed. With a loud shout, a raging sea of fire swept through the streets, pressing heavily towards the pursuers.

With the help of the sea of fire, the man used the last of his strength to rush forward a few steps, and one of them turned over and jumped over the wall. Then, with an upside-down attitude, he fell down.

There's no way to run anymore. Life or death, leave it to fate......

On the other side of the sea of fire, several Nine Shadow Holy Envoys glanced at each other, and the leader waved his hand violently and shouted, "Can't let him run away, chase after him!"

A few people walked out of the alley and chased after them to the other end of the street.

Even if you turn the whole town upside down, you have to find the man!

……

After a storm-like sweep, the stall owners on the streets could only sigh and clean up the mess.

This is not the first time. In the conflict between the Nine Shadows Temple and the rest of the forces, they were not the only ones affected. Who let them not be those strong people who wave their hands and turn the world upside down, they don't have enough right to speak, and their lives are so cheap!

"Sister-in-law, why is there such a mess in this market today?"

At this moment, a voice as crisp as a silver bell suddenly sounded.

What appeared in front of me was a girl dressed in light purple. A delicate melon seed face, with a white face, willow eyebrows like the moon, a pink turban wrapped around his head, and a twisted braid coiled behind his head, wrapped around his shoulders and hanging down on his chest. In the crook of his arm he carries a bamboo basket full of all kinds of fresh vegetables. The smile is fresh and beautiful, and there is a kind of hard work and simplicity unique to a working girl.

"Alas, Yue'er, you don't know," the aunt who sold watermelons sighed, "Those people from the Nine Shadows Hall have come out to commit murder again today." ”

They all live in the same town, and the townspeople know each other well. The aunt also recognized that this young girl's name was Mai Yue'er, and she was the daughter of the old Mai family in the east of the town. It's a pity that Lao Mai went early, leaving only a mother and daughter to rely on each other. Speaking of which, this girl is also strange and pitiful.

However, Mai Yue'er is very sensible, and she is busy helping her mother work every day, and she is stunned to support the family alone. She was young and beautiful, and there were many young men in the town, who secretly hoped that they could marry her home.

It is said that this matchmaker has also made a few trips to Lao Mai's house, but Mai Yue'er has refused all of them. She only said that she only wanted to concentrate on taking care of her mother, and she didn't want to think about these marriages.

Alas, if you don't marry, you're going to get old. The townsfolk were worried about her. Even this watermelon aunt hopes that her son can marry a daughter-in-law like Mai Yue'er. That stinky boy, who is idle all day long, really needs someone to take care of him.

"I heard that they were chasing someone. "However, at the moment, the Nine Shadows Hall is in trouble, and the aunt has lost that leisure, "There are many bosses who can't stand their harassment, and they have already hurriedly closed their stalls and gone home." ”

"Alas, the people who were chased and killed by the Nine Shadows Hall must be good people who opposed them. It's a pity that we can't help, and don't get into trouble. ”

"Yue'er, you should go back quickly. In the end, the aunt kindly persuaded again.

A trace of curiosity flashed in Mai Yue'er's eyes, but she didn't want the other party to worry, so she still responded cheerfully: "Hey, thank you, sister-in-law." ”

Humming a minor tune all the way through the street, when she stepped into the house, Mai Yue'er quickly forgot this little episode.

Those vendettas in the rivers and lakes, after all, are too far away from their own lives, and when they listen to the story, it's just that.

Sorted the vegetables she had just bought into categories and put them in the kitchen, Mai Yue'er simply cleaned them up, brought the feed, and went to the backyard to feed the chickens.

As she passed the thatched pile, there was a sudden rustling sound between the fluffy straw stalks.

Mai Yue'er turned her head suspiciously, looked at the thatched pile that was a little scattered compared to usual, and walked over step by step.

At this moment, with a "bang", a large amount of thatch rose into the sky, and a figure covered in blood suddenly emerged from the grass.

Mai Yue'er's eyes widened, and she almost screamed.

The person in front of him, dressed in a shabby cloth robe, was completely stained with blood. On his body, there were still a few hideous knife wounds, which were still gurgling and bleeding. A face is also mottled with blood, a scruffy chin and beard, and the fatigue of many days of fleeing in his eyes, but the innate righteousness is still imprinted in the depths of his pupils.

This glance is fate, it is a catastrophe, and it is difficult to tell.

"Girl......" the bloody man suddenly spoke in a hoarse voice, "please help...... Help me......"

Mai Yue'er looked at him in a daze. Maybe it was his current injuries that moved her, or maybe it was those clear eyes that made her believe that he wasn't a bad person. Therefore, after only a moment's hesitation, she nodded earnestly.

"Okay, you come with me!"

Mai Yue'er hid the man here, and immediately after, there was a heavy slamming sound outside.

"Open the door, open the door!"

As soon as Mai Yue'er and her mother opened the door, several fierce Nine Shadows Holy Envoys rushed up.

"Did you see a man bleeding all over his body running this way?"

Mai Yue'er's mother was so frightened that she bowed again and again: "No...... My lord, we are all our own families, but we will never dare to harbor anyone of unknown origin!"

This Aunt Mai was still a pungent temperament when she was young. After her husband died early, she pulled her daughter alone, and gradually began to understand how to look at eyes. It can be said that she is a person who likes to cause trouble, but she is also afraid of things. To the weak, she is still arrogant, but to the strong, she will grovel early. After all, the heavens and the earth are big, but they can't compare to their own lives.

Mai Yue'er also nodded again and again, curled up and hid behind her mother, and the little face that poked out was timid, and I felt pity.

A few Nine Shadows Holy Envoys were not so easy to fool, and the leader looked around, and said coldly: "No, I obviously saw him running in this direction, and everyone can't let go, go in and search!"

As he spoke, several people violently pushed Mai Yue'er's mother and daughter away, and broke into the courtyard with swords.

The mother and daughter could only follow behind them, watching them kick open the door and break into every room, slashing and stabbing indiscriminately, making a lot of noise. And this house is really small, and after a while, the backyard was searched.

"Look, my lord, no?" said Aunt Mai with a good smile.

The leading Nine Shadows Holy Envoy didn't answer, and his gaze still turned in all directions. He had already calculated, according to the direction where the man had escaped over the wall before, the most likely thing was to escape into this house. If he couldn't find it here, could he have fled elsewhere after a while?

Suddenly, the Nine Shadows Holy Envoy looked at a half-human-high altar in the corner of the wall, and said sharply, "What is here?"

Mai Yue'er took the initiative to grab it and answered: "Oh, it's our pickles." As he spoke, he diligently lifted the lid for him.

The Nine Shadows Holy Envoy looked over, and was immediately smoked by a sour smell of vinegar that covered his nose, don't turn his head and wave his hand again and again: "Cover it." ”

Seeing that he still had no intention of leaving, Mai Yue'er thought for a while, took out a storage bag from her arms, and handed it over with a smile.

"My lord, we are all women, we usually live here, whoever wants to bully, who can bully. If we really see right and wrong, it's too late for us to hide. It is rare to see the big man of the Nine Shadows Hall today, this little caution is our savings for more than half a year, and I hope that the adults can take more care of our orphans and widows. ”

She spoke eloquently, and her voice was eloquent, which made the Nine Shadows Holy Envoy quite satisfied. Pulling the corners of his mouth, he took the storage bag and weighed it casually.

"You little girl is quite sensible. As he spoke, he raised his finger and gently stroked it over Mai Yue'er's cheek.

Although Mai Yue'er felt a chill in her heart, on the surface, she still squeezed out the most perfect smile and looked at him.

"Okay, I'll take your wishes. After a while, the Nine Shadows Holy Envoy finally nodded, and shouted at a few team members not far away: "It's all searched here, close the team, go to the next one!"

After a few people walked away, Aunt Mai stroked her chest with one hand and gasped: "Ouch, thank God, this is finally gone!"

Mai Yue'er was also comforting her mother on the side. But her gaze, which had been timid and helpless a moment ago, gradually became resolute when it fell on the sauce jar in front of her.

Afternoon.

A ray of light shone in the basement, and Mai Yue'er carried the rice basket and carefully walked down the long stairs.

When she found the mysterious person in the thatched pile, Mai Yue'er knew that the people chasing him would probably arrive soon, and the only place in the backyard to hide was the sauce jar.

To be on the safe side, she also specially pressed a lot of pickles on it. Seeing that the man's brows were furrowed and he almost fainted, Mai Yue'er smiled mischievously and made a silent gesture to him, signaling: "You have to bear with it."

As soon as the people from the Nine Shadows Hall left, she hurriedly transferred him to the basement and told him to rest here before returning to the kitchen to cook, and accompanied her mother to finish the meal as if nothing happened.

"This is what I just quietly brought from the dinner table. At this moment, Mai Yue'er squatted down next to the bloody man and lined up the food separately, "You have shed so much blood, it must be very hard, I have to help you find a doctor." ”

She was just about to get up, but her sleeve was grabbed by a bloody hand.

"No......" The man's eyes were wide, and his violent eyes were bloodshot, "Don't look for a doctor!

Mai Yue'er looked at the bloody handprints he left on his clothes, and she was also a little frightened. Just when I was at a loss, I heard him scream, and knew that he was too anxious, and the wound cracked again.

"Alright," she patted him on the shoulder soothingly, "I'm not leaving." Hurry up and eat. ”

"Hmm...... There are a few questions I would like to ask you. Sitting beside him with her hands on her knees, Mai Yue'er watched him eat and whispered softly, "If it's not convenient for you to answer, you can not say it." ”

The man's eating action paused slightly, and then, without saying a word, buried his head and accelerated the speed of the rice. Seeing this, Mai Yue'er was not discouraged, as if talking to herself, she first introduced her own situation, and finally asked: "The people of the Nine Shadows Palace, why are you chasing and killing you?"

The man was silent for a long time, and just when Mai Yue'er thought that he would still pretend to be deaf and dumb like just now, a voice that was a little hoarse, but clearly a lot kinder, came from her side.

"The girl has the grace to save my life, and I naturally trust the girl. I just hope that what I say to you today, whether you believe it or not, never tell the second person. Otherwise, I'm afraid it will bring disaster to your family as well. ”

Somehow, she chose to save this stranger, and he also chose to believe this stranger, perhaps, this is fate.

"The Nine Shadows Hall is extremely vicious, oppressing the people, and how many people with lofty ideals in the world are eager to overthrow this evil rule. As soon as he said of the Nine Shadows Palace, the man's sick and weak eyes also rekindled the fire of hatred.

"However, the master of the Nine Shadows Hall is highly skilled, and there are countless capable people in the hall, and with our strength alone, there is absolutely no hope. The only way out is to let the Heavenly Palace master know about the crimes of the Nine Shadows Hall and be able to punish them. ”

"In Xia Bitao, entrusted by his father-in-law, Guo County, Huaiping Guo, as a holy envoy of the Nine Shadows, infiltrated the Nine Shadows Hall undercover. After these few months, I have indeed collected a lot of evidence of their incrimination! And I have compiled this evidence, along with my and my father's thoughts, into a document that I plan to present to the Heavenly Pavilion in my own hands. ”

"But unfortunately, there is no impermeable wall in the world, and my identity was finally discovered by the people of the Nine Shadows Palace. ”

"I escaped with the paperwork, they chased me all the way, I repelled all the way of the pursuers, and finally escaped here, and finally I was exhausted...... If I hadn't met the girl, I'm afraid I would have been a dead man by now. ”

Speaking of the bloody rain along the way, Bi Tao's emotions were also a little excited. But in the end, after nine deaths and a lifetime, he still kept the paperwork.

That may be a document that can shake the world.
