Chapter 221: The First Killing
"Of course I do. Gu Zhirong said very confidently, "If not, how can I know that they are actually a little girl and a little boy?
The man in black's eyes rolled and believed Gu Zhirong's words. Indeed, this secret was told to them by Master Zhang when he was about to get on the boat. Before that, they had always thought that it was two little girls who were going to be arrested.
Since she even knew such an important secret, the man in black felt that there was no reason not to believe her.
"I'll take you. Gu Zhi said.
The man in black thought for a moment, and quickly nodded in agreement. At this time, he only thought about such a big credit, of course, he had to swallow it alone, and he found that his companions were not around at all.
The young master was in a hurry, but saw Gu Zhirong blinking at him twice. He was moved, and knew that Gu Zhirong meant that he should not act rashly, and he would solve this man in black.
Although he had seen Gu Zhirong's boldness and carefulness, he was still much more worried when he saw her facing a strong opponent alone. But he was not an ordinary person after all, and despite his worries, he nodded secretly to reassure her.
The man in black really believed Gu Zhirong completely, let go of the young master, and followed Gu Zhirong away.
The young master sat in place, concentrating on pranayama. He wants to recover his strength as soon as possible and help her as soon as possible.
After about a quarter of an hour, I suddenly heard a sound not far ahead, faintly mixed with exclamations. He could tell that it was Gu Zhirong's voice, and he couldn't sit still anymore. I ran over with my body propped up.
Then, he saw something like this:
Under the moonlight, Gu Zhi stood on his own. He didn't move, he held a dagger in his hand, the blade was stained with blood, and the blood beads were still falling down one by one.
In front of her, the man in black had already fallen, curled up like a prawn, and did not move for a long time. Apparently dead.
He staggered over, grabbed her hand, and asked in a loud voice, "Rong'er." How are you, are you hurt?"
After a long time, Gu Zhirong spoke: "No, it's okay." ”
The young master looked frightened when he saw her. His gaze was a little glazed. Knowing that she had never killed anyone, she must have been overly frightened. So he gently patted her back and comforted her softly: "Rong'er, don't be afraid, everything is over." Don't worry, this won't happen again, and I won't venture out with you alone in the future. ”
Gu Zhirong lay in his arms and trembled gently. Although she is a healer, she is used to seeing a lot of bloody scenes. He is also more courageous than usual, but kills. This is the first time after all.
After a while, Gu Zhirong calmed down, and when he saw that he was still leaning on his arms, he realized his gaffe, his face couldn't help but turn red, he hurriedly took a step back, left his embrace, and said in a low voice: "I, I just ......"
The young master didn't mind at all: "You were scared just now." You're killing someone for the first time, right?"
Gu Zhirong let out a soft "um", feeling ashamed of his timidity. The man in black is obviously a bad person, he doesn't know how much innocent people's blood is stained on his hands, and killing him himself can be regarded as doing the right thing for heaven, why is he so nervous and afraid?
Seeing her slightly with her own look, the young master couldn't help but smile, clenched her hand, and comforted her: "The first time you kill someone, you will naturally feel nervous and afraid. Don't worry, this is an extraordinary situation, and with me here, I won't let you face this again. ”
His hand gripped her tightly, the palm of his hand wide and warm yet a little rough. It was a cocoon formed by years of sword practice and martial arts, and in her opinion, such a powerful hand made her feel at ease.
Gu Zhirong bit his lip: "I'm not afraid, as long as I can save my friends, I won't be afraid of anything." ”
The young master looked at her quietly: "So, I'm your friend?"
Seeing her nodding, he suddenly felt that the whole person was happy.
At this moment, there was a faint sound of thunder. Gu Zhirong thought it was raining, and looked at the sky, but there were no raindrops falling. She looked at the river, and saw that it was so dark that she could not see anything.
In her previous life, she grew up at the mouth of the Yangtze River when she was a child, and she was used to hearing the sound of ships, and her ears were very smart.
She said to the young master: "It seems that there is a fleet ahead, and it is heading towards us. ”
When the young master heard this, his spirits perked: "It seems that our fleet is coming." ”
Seeing Gu Zhirong's puzzled look, he explained: "I have asked the brothers of Zhuzhou Baojian Hall to pass on the book and inform General Tong of Jicheng. If my guess is correct, the fleet you mentioned should be General Tong who came to our rescue after receiving the letter. ”
Gu Zhirong couldn't help but be overjoyed: "So, is it really General Tong who is here? That's really good, those ordinary people on the ship are saved." ”
Sure enough, General Tong arrived, but he didn't expect him to transport troops so quickly, and in less than a day, he summoned dozens of warships to Fanjiang, and rumbled straight towards the enemy ship with the "yellow" flag next to Gu Zhirong's passenger ship.
Suddenly, there was chaos on the "murder ship" next to it, and someone shouted: "The Tongjia army is here, run!"
The "murder ship" saw that the situation was wrong and wanted to escape. But General Kirida's dozens of fleets formed a circle and trapped it inside, and it went on a rampage, doing a battle of trapped beasts, and it couldn't rush out even if it rushed left and right. At this time, countless arrows flew straight towards the "murder ship", and there was a scream on the ship, Gu Zhirong saw that some people jumped into the water with arrows, and some jumped into the water in order to escape. But even if they jumped into the water, those people could not escape the fate of being arrested. Because, dozens of small boats sailed out of General Kirio's ship and chased after those people.
At this time, a small boat came quickly, and the soldiers on the boat clenched their fists and said to the young master: "General Tong has arrived, please tell the young master, do you want to arrest all these traitors?"
The young master nodded: "Take them all, don't let go of one." Refuse to surrender, annihilated!" The voice was cold, revealing the majesty of the unattained.
The soldier agreed, and the young master thought for a moment and said, "I'll go with you." ”
The soldier hurriedly approached the boat, and the young master jumped onto the boat. Looking back at Gu Zhirong. Of course, he couldn't let her go into danger anymore: "Rong'er, you stay here for a while, and I'll let them come and pick you up." The front is too dangerous, don't go over, wait for me on General Kirida's ship. ”
Gu Zhirong was moved for a while. She didn't expect that at such a moment, he still remembered his own safety. She smiled at her and said, "Go ahead and get busy with you, I'll be here obediently waiting for them to pick me up." ”
The young master nodded, and asked the soldiers to turn the ship around and sail forward. He seemed to have forgotten that there was also a red lantern hanging from the passenger ship, and as soon as the red lantern went out, the passenger ship would explode immediately.
Seeing the young master's back disappear into the dark night, Gu Zhirong remembered that she hadn't told him about the pair of sisters and brothers. Baojiantang has a huge power, and there are semicolons everywhere, if they can send that pair of sisters and brothers out with their strength, it must be the safest and most appropriate.
