Chapter 548: Trade-offs
Fortunately, the rain of arrows came from behind, and the arrows were released by the people who were chasing them, rather than someone in ambush in front of them, and if it was the latter, it would be even more tricky.
Brother Dumb carried Chu Yunsheng on his back, and with a twist of his ankle, he flashed into the forest, and after a few ups and downs, he found a relatively dense tree, which was covered by dense branches.
And here Brother Dumb will hide with Chu Yunsheng, and the last two guards who protect He Yueying have already fallen from the arrow, seeing that the man in black who was chasing after him was about to arrive, Chu Yunsheng tugged on Brother Dumb's sleeve.
Her eyes were firmly fixed on He Yueying, who was flustered at that time, and after the guards around her fell one after another, her feet also went weak and fell directly to the ground.
At this time, she saw an arrow carrying a fierce murderous aura come behind her in the blink of an eye, whistling towards her.
Brother Dumb has been by Chu Yunsheng's side for so long, so he naturally knows Chu Yunsheng's thoughts, and as soon as she tugged on his sleeve, he already understood her hopes and worries.
Therefore, almost an instant decision, Brother Dumb's body flashed in the woods, and the black-clothed people on the opposite side had not seen their figures clearly, he had already scooped up He Yueying, who was still lying on the ground and did not get up, and then turned his ankles, and everyone only saw a wave of the azure clothes, and there was no trace.
And his figure just left that position, and the arrow just now shot into the position where He Yueying was lying down just now.
It's thrilling.
After rescuing He Yueying, Brother Dumb didn't dare to slack off, and immediately with a turn of his ankle, his body came towards the place where Chu Yunsheng was hiding, and before those black-clothed people reached the entrance of the forest, he had already placed He Yueying intact on the trunk of the tree.
"Search! They can't run far!"
An extremely cold voice sounded on the other side, and the tone was also full of murderous intent.
Chu Yunsheng took a deep breath and tried to support his somewhat heavy and tired head.
At this time, although Brother Dumb put her in a very strong branch, her hand holding the branch was still a little weak, and there were still Brother Dumb and He Yueying on this tree, even the thick branches looked a little crumbling.
And although He Yueying has also experienced several chases and killings with Chu Yunsheng on the way from Zhao State to Wei Guo, but it is the first time that she has such an ambush with such a disparity in strength today, her body is lying on the branch next to her, but her hand is leaning over, holding Chu Yunsheng's hand tightly.
From her trembling palm, Chu Yunsheng could feel her nervousness.
"It's fine. β
Chu Yunsheng didn't make a sound, but just spit out these two words to He Yueying with his mouth.
Seeing this, He Yueying nodded, and clenched Chu Yunsheng's hand more and more.
At this moment, the men in black had already entered the forest, and they were very fast!
In the blink of an eye, they landed near where they were hiding.
"They should be around here!"
The man's voice sounded again, and his steps gradually leaned towards the tree where Chu Yunsheng and the others were hiding.
"Look at the trees too!"
His voice was cold and tight, and Chu Yunsheng and He Yueying were extremely nervous at this time.
The situation is dire.
He Yueying has no kung fu in his body, and Chu Yunsheng not only has no kung fu, but he is also seriously ill, and he doesn't even have the strength to stand up.
As these people approached, the hope for them became slimmer.
Seeing that they had already passed through the two trees in front of them, and in the blink of an eye, they were about to come under the tree where they were hiding, Chu Yunsheng raised his hand and pushed Brother Dumb, and motioned with his eyes for him to leave with He Yueying.
In this case, there is still hope for Brother Dumb to leave with one person, and there is little hope for escaping with two people.
Moreover, they not only had to face the black-clothed assassins in front of them, but the sound of horses' hooves was already heard not far away, which was neat and uniform, and they had also undergone strict training.
This is most likely He Rong's army followed.
If they delay any longer, all three of them will die here.
Therefore, without hesitation and hesitation, Chu Yunsheng directly raised his eyes and glared at Brother Dumb.
The moment Brother Dumb looked at Chu Yunsheng's eyes, he understood what Chu Yunsheng was thinking, but he didn't even move his chin towards He Yueying, and directly rejected Chu Yunsheng with his eyes.
At this time, for Brother Dumb, not leaving He Yueying but escaping with Chu Yunsheng was already the biggest concession he could make, but unexpectedly, Chu Yunsheng even let him leave herself and take He Yueying away, which was impossible in Brother Dumb's opinion.
Anyone in this world can be left behind, but Chu Yunsheng can't be left behind.
This is a thought that has been ingrained in Brother Dumb's mind a long time ago, and he can't say why this thought came from.
At this time, even in the face of thousands of troops, with his skills, he could come and go freely without the slightest injury, but he would rather face these thousands of horses, he would stand in front of her, and resist all the swords and injuries for her.
Even if he died, he would die before her, to ensure that she was safe and sound.
As for why, he doesn't know.
All he knew was that she couldn't be fine, and that during the days she was unconscious, he had experienced the most painful torment of his life, and every day, he sat on the rooftop, waiting only for news that she had woken up, and his calm heart, which seemed to have been hundreds of years old, was in a frenzy this time, and at that time, the only hope in his heart was for her to wake up.
He was willing to do anything as long as she woke up.
The once ignorant teenager, since then that heart no longer belongs to him, he gradually opened the door of his claustrophobic heart, and set off a corner into the world.
Because of her, he came out of loneliness and out of the world where he was alone.
Because of her, he knew that the world was colorful, and that there was another word in this world called human warmth.
Because of her, he knew that not everyone in this world was disgusting and disgusting to him.
Once upon a time, he hated touching people, everything else he had ever touched.
However, he doesn't know when he found out that he didn't hate her touching.
Even though she unconsciously grabbed the hem of his clothes, even when she covered the back of his hand, he never felt the slightest disgust.
On the contrary, every time she approached and unconsciously touched, he felt a heart-pounding joy.
It was so good that he couldn't help but want to get closer to her, to get closer to her, a little bit, a little more.
And as for the reason for this feeling, he doesn't know, can't think through, and doesn't want to think about it, he just wants to continue this beautiful feeling.
Brother Dumb's smart eyes looked at Chu Yunsheng like this, and for a while, countless thoughts went through his mind.
And Chu Yunsheng naturally didn't know about these.
Seeing that Brother Dumb was indifferent, she raised her hand and tugged on his sleeve, and told him firmly with her eyes that she would take He Yueying away.
In this regard, Brother Dumb simply turned his head away, and no longer looked at Chu Yunsheng, but looked at the leader of the black-clothed assassin who was approaching.
For Chu Yunsheng's words, he has never had the strength to resist, however, this time it is so dangerous, he will not agree to leave her anyway, when facing her firm eyes, Brother Dumb can't bear to hurt her with an expression of refusal, he had to turn his head away and not look at her, lest he be defeated again under the gaze of her eyes.
At this time, seeing Brother Dumb like this, Chu Yunsheng jumped to his feet anxiously.
He Yueying, who was on the side, also saw Chu Yunsheng's eyes and movements this time, she naturally quickly shook Chu Yunsheng's arm to refuse, and said to Chu Yunsheng with a mouth shape: "You go, don't worry about me!"
But this is impossible for Chu Yunsheng.
While the three of them were secretly competing like this, several men in black had already come to the tree where they were hiding!
"Look! theyβ"
One of them had excellent eyes, and when he approached, he spotted Chu Yunsheng, and the moment he found her, he raised his hand and pressed it on the hilt of his sword and shouted loudly.
However, he had only said half of what he had said, and half of it was stuck in his throat, when he saw that Brother Dumb had already raised his hand and picked a leaf from the tree, aiming it directly at his throat.
In the next moment, a streak of blood erupted from the man's neck.
With an exclamation, he fell to the ground, but his eyes were still staring at Chu Yunsheng's position on the tree.
Although Brother Dumb's move was already extremely fast, but after the voice of this person just now, plus the few people next to him were still there, Chu Yunsheng's position was still exposed!
The black-clothed men who were still searching around just now quickly gathered towards the big tree where they were hiding.
In a flash, Brother Dumb jumped down from the tree, and threw two leaves with a raised hand, aiming at the necks of the two closest people in the same way as before.
In the blink of an eye, the two of them were lying on the ground like the one before, lifeless.
This kind of move is definitely not something that ordinary people can do, just by picking leaves at will, it can be used as a deadly secret weapon, but you can imagine how strong the internal strength of the person who made the move.
Almost at the same time, the thoughts popped into the minds of all the men in black present, and at the same time, an unprecedented fear took them deeply.
Although they had fought with Brother Dumb before or seen him make a move, this was the first time they had seen him hurt people with leaves, and everyone was speechless in shock.
At this time, the dumb brother who existed like Yama in their eyes actually swept towards them with a sword.
Almost at the same time, everyone was a little weak.
At that moment, a whistling rang out at the entrance to the forest.
The voice was not loud, but it was very sharp, so that everyone present could hear it clearly.
After that whistling sounded, the man in black who had led the way suddenly raised his hand and said, "Withdraw!"
As soon as his words fell, the man in black, who had already retreated from the momentum of Brother Dumb, wanted to have wings on his body, and fled the woods as fast as he could.
Seeing that they evacuated neatly, Chu Yunsheng's brows furrowed.
Her kung fu is gone, so her six senses can't reach the level before, but she can guess a rough idea when she sees the expressions of these people at this time.
He Rong's pursuers have arrived!
If these people were the subordinates sent by Tang Duyun, it was naturally impossible for them to go head-to-head with He Rong's pursuers, so they evacuated before He Rong's men and horses arrived.
Thinking of this, Chu Yunsheng looked down at Brother Dumb, and saw that his eyes were cold, obviously sensing the pursuers who were about to arrive at the entrance of the forest.
"I'll get out of the way!"
Without waiting for Chu Yunsheng to speak, Brother Dumb almost gritted his teeth and said these three words.
Although, at this time, he was reluctant to leave Chu Yunsheng's side, but at this time, he went to lure those pursuers away was the greatest protection for Chu Yunsheng, the reason was the same as before, in the face of so many pursuers, he could not protect Chu Yunsheng and He Yueying at once, and Chu Yunsheng was absolutely unwilling to leave with him alone.
So, at this time, this is the only way to go.
Chu Yunsheng looked at Brother Dumb through the dense gap, the latter was also raising his eyes, and through the half of the silver mask, Chu Yunsheng saw the firmness and clarity in his eyes.
Then, she nodded.
Brother Dumb nodded to her eyes.
Immediately, on his tiptoes, the whole person was like a lightning bolt that was blue and blue, and disappeared into the forest in a blink of an eye.
The entrance of the forest was still some distance away from the tree where Chu Yunsheng and He Yueying were hiding, and with the dense trees and branches in this forest, Chu Yunsheng couldn't see the situation at the entrance at all.
However, not long after the figure of Dumb disappeared, the sound of clanging swords was heard at the entrance.
As soon as that voice sounded, Chu Yunsheng's heart thumped.
Intense.
Although he knew that Brother Dumb's skills were more than enough to deal with these people without any burden, Chu Yunsheng couldn't rest assured when he thought of the large number of people on the other side, and Brother Dumb still had to take care of this.
When she was extremely nervous, He Yueying raised her hand and clenched her palm, pulled out a smile at her, and then said with her mouth: "It's okay." β
Seeing this, Chu Yunsheng also shook her hand back.
The sound of the sword handing out outside grew farther and farther away.
Come to think of it, it should be Brother Dumb who led people into the distance, and his method worked.
However, even so, Chu Yunsheng became more and more worried.
How can he be so easy to deal with?
However, before she could voice her doubts, footsteps and the sound of men talking sounded in the forest not far away.
"Is it possible for them to be in this forest, you say?"
"Just now the people in front have come back to report, just in this forest, since the people in front of us have chased, we may not be able to make some benefits at this time, it is better to search elsewhere, maybe we can bump into a remnant party, pick up a credit?!"
"Also, I'll take my people over there, you go over there, and we'll go our separate ways. β
"Good!"
As soon as the word "good" fell, the footsteps came closer.
And at this time, Brother Dumb led the previous group of pursuers away, and it was difficult to rush back to Chu Yunsheng's side in such a short time!
