The two of them immediately showed their skills and chased after them, and before they could get closer, Ye Chuan saw a few war horses parked on the edge of the field, and there were faint figures flickering in the gaps of the corn branches and leaves, so he said: "Senior sister, you are guarding by the horse, and I will go to find out!" ”

Su Ling responded, and landed near the war horse, while Ye Chuan lightly threw himself into the cornfield, and quickly approached the figure under the cover of the branches and leaves of the corn.

The figure was originally a few Jurchen sergeants chasing a girl, and several sergeants shouted and laughed loudly, as if they were not in a hurry to catch the person, but enjoyed the chase. At first, the girl was disheveled, her clothes were covered with mud, and she was desperately running deep and shallow among the uneven fields, looking very embarrassed.

A sergeant took out a slingshot from his waist, put a lead pellet on it, and shot it out with a whoosh, hitting the girl's calf, the girl was in pain, fell to the ground, struggled to get up, took out a long sword, held it with both hands, trembled to himself, and shouted: "Don't come here!" I'll kill you! ”

Ye Chuan recognized that the long sword was the Linfeng Sword, and knew that the girl who fell to the ground was Ah Jiu, so he immediately accelerated his pace and chased after him, swung out two palms, and knocked the two of them to the ground with two bangs.

Unexpectedly, a Han man suddenly appeared behind him, and immediately pulled out his waist knife, shouting and surrounding him, Ye Chuan thought to himself: "Such a beast is ruthless, not only slaughtered many unarmed people last night, if Ah Jiu falls into their hands, it will inevitably be a humiliation, deal with them, there is no need to say anything!" As soon as his mind moved, he immediately used his body to shuttle back and forth around everyone, either with palm blows or kicks, killing six Jurchen soldiers in a row.

The remaining one person saw that the situation was not good, turned around and ran away, Ye Chuan broke off a corn stalk, used it as a long sword, aimed at the back of the man's heart, used enough internal force, and used the "sword to fly to the sky" and shot out, only to hear a snort, the straw passed through the sergeant's body, and even the two layers of armor on the front chest and back also penetrated.

Ye Chuan straightened up, secretly happy in his heart, and thought: "After practicing the eighth layer of Xuangong, the sword flying sky-shattering move is really powerful, I don't know what it will become when I reach the ninth layer!" ”

Ah Jiu was so frightened that he sat on the ground in a daze, and after a while he came to his senses, got up, came to the corpse of a sergeant, raised his sword from the wind, and stabbed him indiscriminately, stabbing the man out of several holes in a row.

Ye Chuan couldn't bear to look at it on the side, and stepped forward and said, "Ninth girl, this person is already dead, why do you want to abuse his corpse again." ”

Ah Jiu ignored him, stabbed more than ten times, and finally lost his strength, kneeling on the ground and gasping for breath, Ye Chuan pulled the Linfeng Sword from the corpse of the man, wiped the blood stains from the blade wound, and said, "Nine girls, why are you here?" Didn't you run away when the Jin soldiers came last night? ”

Ah Jiu still didn't answer, gasped for a while, suddenly threw himself into Ye Chuan's arms, and cried loudly, this time suddenly, Ye Chuan avoided it, didn't avoid it, hesitated, he was already stopped by Ah Jiu and hugged him, thinking that Su Ling was waiting not far away, he couldn't help but be embarrassed in his heart, and he was stunned for a long time, and after a while, Ah Jiu's crying voice was weak, and he suddenly broke free from his arms, grabbed the Linfeng Sword, retracted the sheath, and walked out of the field with his head stuffy.

Ye Chuan followed behind and said, "Ninth girl, I am not a person who breaks my word, but the current situation is so dangerous that it is better for you to return the Linfeng Sword to me first." ”

Ah Jiu said: "Why should I pay you back, I was waiting for you here early this morning, why don't you come?" Now you want to ask me for a sword, no way! ”

Ye Chuan couldn't help but be stunned, and thought: "This stupid girl didn't flee because of the bet with me, right?" If so, it would be too capricious. ”

Ah Jiu saw his thoughts, and said: "You are less smelly and beautiful, last night my father was reluctant to give up the belongings of the family, he left late, just in time for the arrival of the Jin army, I desperately escaped, I didn't have anything on me, thinking that you are a chivalrous man, maybe you can come to save me, so I hid in the agreed place and waited for you, who knew that you didn't wait, waiting for a group of soldiers." ”

Ye Chuan's heart was a little relieved, and he said in his heart: "I killed a scout last night, and the body was washed away by the water, and the Jin army must have found that there was one less person after gathering, so he sent a team of soldiers back to look for it, hey, it's a coincidence, if it weren't for this group of soldiers, I might not have come here, but unfortunately this little girl is tricky and willful, I have to find a way to trick the sword back." Then he said: "Nine girls, let's agree in advance, if I win, in addition to returning the sword to me, you also have to give me two pieces of grain, now you have no long things, if I win, what should I do?" ”

Ah Jiu said: "According to what you say, if you lose, you have to go with me to see the official, and now that the government is gone, it can't be cashed out." ”

Ye Chuan said with a smile: "That's it, in this way, we have no choice but to terminate the gambling contract, you quickly return the sword to me, in exchange, I will escort you to a safe place." ”

Ah Jiu said: "What is the last resort? We made an appointment to meet this morning, but if you didn't come, you lost, and the food was taken away by the Jurchens, so you had to find a way to get it back, and this sword must not be returned to you. ”

Ye Chuan frowned and said, "You are a little unreasonable, if I hadn't appeared in time just now, you would have fallen into the hands of so many men......"

Ah Jiu turned around and slapped him, and said angrily: "Stop! ”

Ye Chuan naturally wouldn't let her slap her, reached out to catch her wrist, and said, "Nine girls, let's salute first and then soldier, if you really want to fight, ten of you are not my opponent." ”

Suddenly, Su Ling's voice said, "Senior brother, how are you?" ”

The two of them were arguing while walking, and they had already reached the edge of the field, Su Ling heard the sound, so he asked, Ah Jiu was slightly stunned, and said, "You also brought a helper?" ”

Ye Chuan said: "That's my wife who hasn't passed through the door." ”

Ah Jiu broke free from his hands, ran out of the field quickly, and when he saw Su Ling, he immediately cried out and shouted loudly: "Woo! Sister! My life is so miserable, woo woo......"

Seeing this, Su Ling hurriedly stepped forward to support her, and said with concern: "Little sister, what's wrong with you?" Injured or not? ”

Ah Jiu's crying pear blossom brought rain, and whimpered: "My parents killed Jin Bing, and the family ...... The family's property was looted, and he was almost insulted by the enemy...... I'm so pathetic......"

Seeing that she was crying sincerely, Su Ling felt pity in her heart, hugged her in her arms, and comforted her: "Good sister, don't be sad, we will take you to a safe place, and we will never let you suffer a little more grievances." ”

Ye Chuan walked out at this time, and when he saw the two hugging each other, he was stunned, and thought: "This little girl's face changes when she says it, it's really not simple." ”

Ah Jiu squinted his eyes and glanced at Ye Chuan, and said, "Fortunately, this Brother Ye kindly saved me, and asked me to take this sword to defend myself first, woo...... You're such nice people......"

Su Ling and Ye Chuan had the same mind, and when they saw the look on his face, they immediately understood the twists and turns, but it was inconvenient to poke them in person, so they had to say: "Good sister, don't worry, we will never leave you halfway." ”

There are a total of nine war horses on Longshang, each horse has a lot of gold and silver property hanging on it, presumably these soldiers plundered all the way, Ye Chuan took a long rope, tied the reins of the seven war horses together, and asked Ah Jiu to sit on one of them, and he and Su Ling each took one to walk in front, pulling the extra war horses, and slowly marching to the southwest.

Ah Jiu thought that he was tired, but he was finally sheltered at this time, and he fell asleep on horseback, Ye Chuan approached Su Ling's side and whispered: "This little girl is too good at acting, obviously she doesn't want to return the sword to me, but she said that I kindly asked her to keep it." ”

Su Ling said: "Ah Jiu is still young, he has just experienced so many changes, he feels that he is weak, so he is naturally wary of people everywhere, she keeps your sword, but she is afraid that we will leave her halfway, and when it is safe, she will naturally return it to you." ”

Ye Chuan said: "I naturally understand this, she is a girl's family, and she is not a person in the rivers and lakes, what does my sword do, I mean she has such a scheming at a young age, and she can pay it back when she grows up?" ”

Su Ling said: "People are just trying to protect themselves, and they don't harm others, what are the scheming ......?"

Ye Chuan sighed and said: "I used to be like you, I felt that everyone was as sincere and kind as you and me, and later I saw Zhu Fengcheng and others rebelling against the water, and being betrayed by Hou Haining, then I knew that the most unpredictable thing in the world is the human heart, as the saying goes, you can't have the heart to harm people, you can't have the heart to prevent people, from now on, you can't trust others too much." ”

Su Ling bowed his head and was silent, and after a while, he said: "What you said may be right, when I heard that Liang Zhaobai grabbed the sword and defected, I was really surprised and disappointed, but there is still no shortage of Mr. Song, Tie senior, Granny Lu and other good people in the world, I would rather be deceived than be suspicious and wary of others." ”

Ye Chuan laughed and said: "That's easy to do, the two of us will always be together, in the future, you will sing white face, I will sing black face, black and white matching, a natural pair!" ”

Su Ling's face turned red, and he said angrily: "Senior brother! You're not afraid that people will hear the jokes......"

Ye Chuan said: "Naturally I'm not afraid, who dares to laugh at you, I'll shave him with big ears!" ”

As he spoke, he suddenly heard a rapid sound of horses' hooves from far and near, and in the blink of an eye, it turned into a rumbling sound, and a group of Jurchen soldiers roared towards this side, closing inward from both wings, enveloping the three of them in the center.

Ye Chuan saw that there were hundreds of people on the enemy side, and said in his heart: "These people are all sergeants who have been trained on the battlefield, different from those soldiers under Yan Song, if there are only me and my junior sister, it will be easy to get out, but it will be difficult to take Ah Jiuke, you need to strike first!" He shouted, "Give me the sword!" ”

Ah Jiu exclaimed, sat up, hurriedly untied the Linfeng Sword, and threw it at Ye Chuan, Ye Chuan took it, and scolded in his heart: "Stinky girl, she is really pretending to be asleep!" Flying up from the horse, without waiting for the Jurchen leader to come forward to speak, he performed a trick "Liuhe Vertical and Horizontal", and in an instant, the sword qi was like a rainbow, and swept away against the ground, and a row of Jurchen soldiers in the middle immediately screamed and fell off the horse.

The Jurchen leader fell to the ground, roared angrily, and gave an order in Manchu, and the soldiers in the back row immediately drew their bows and arrows and shot at the three people in the center. Ye Chuan kicked on his saddle, swept to Ah Jiu's side, took her in his arms, hugged her off the horse, and performed "Harmony with Light and Dust", resisting all the arrows around him.

In order to avoid hurting the opposite companions, the arrows shot low, Su Ling jumped from the horse, pulled up two zhang high from the ground, easily avoided the arrows, fell into the crowd, and moved the sword moves, stabbing people's wrists, she is now a great success, the movements are extremely fast, the soldiers didn't even see her movements clearly, so they were hit one after another, and they could no longer hold the blade.

Ye Chuan said in his heart: "Senior sister is too good-hearted, when is it, I don't want to hurt people's lives, these people are a scourge after all, or kill them cleanly!" Holding Ah Jiu and jumping into the formation, he rushed left and right, and assassinated more than ten people for a while.

Ah Jiu was so frightened that her face turned pale, she hugged Ye Chuan's neck tightly and refused to let go, Ye Chuan gave her a bad breath, and while killing the enemy, she said: "Nine girls, if you use a little more force, I will not be killed by the enemy, but I will be strangled to death by you." ”

Ah Jiu said: "You run so fast, what if you throw me out!" ”

Ye Chuan sighed and said, "Okay, it's good if you're happy." ”

The battle was in full swing, and another team of people suddenly came out of the slash, Ye Chuan squinted his eyes, and saw that everyone on the horse was in a wonderful figure, and his eyes couldn't help but light up, and he said in his heart: "Senior Lu lives in seclusion in the Phoenix Mountain, and there are often disciples who send her food and water, and I want to come to Mingyue Palace is also nearby, most of these people are disciples of Mingyue Palace who came to search and rescue refugees!" ”

Among this team, the first one person was dressed in plain clothes, and his long hair stood up high, which was An Ruosu. Shi Miaohan, Lou Jing, Yang Ting and others are also in the team.

An Ruosu had seen Ye Chuan in Qiushui Villa, but the two had not talked at that time, so he recognized him at this time, and said in his heart: "Lingxiao Dao Chief? Didn't he defect from the division before, why did he appear here? Seeing a girl in his arms, fighting with the Jurchens, he thought: "It seems that he is saving people, let's help him retire the golden soldiers first!" He turned around and shouted, "Sisters, let's kill this group of golden people!" Don't hurt those three of them! ”

All the disciples claimed yes, and they drew their swords out of their sheaths.

There were more than 30 horsemen in the disciples of Mingyue Palace, cutting into the ranks of the Jin Army from the side, stabbing back and forth, and the Jin soldiers had already broken a lot of people, and they really couldn't resist these martial arts masters, and they were annihilated in a short time.

After the battle, An Ruosu instructed Shi Miaohan to take everyone around to clean up the battlefield and collect materials, and he took Lou Jing and Yang Ting to Ye Chuan on horseback, saluted on horseback, and said: "Ye Gongzi, in Xia An Ruosu, we have a relationship at the succession ceremony of Qiushui Villa." ”

Ye Chuan naturally remembered her, put Ah Jiu down, saluted An Ruosu and the others, and said: "Ye Mou has not had a good reputation in the rivers and lakes recently, thanks to the help of all the girls, I am really grateful." ”

An Ruosu said: "Ye Gongzi was in danger alone in order to track down the whereabouts of the blood unicorn that day, and almost lost his life in the hands of the enemy, the heroes of the world are obvious to all, and some rumors on the rivers and lakes have been maliciously slandered recently." ”

Seeing that what she said was insincere, Ye Chuan couldn't help but feel bitter in his heart, smiled ashamedly, and said: "The reason for this is bizarre and complicated, don't mention it!" ”

Su Ling walked over at this time, and Lou Jing behind An Ruosu saw her, and suddenly exclaimed, "Bamboo branch sword!" ”

The women were stunned when they heard this, their eyes fell on Su Ling's hand, and when they saw that what she was holding was indeed Lu Muqin's sword, they couldn't help but be shocked, and they pulled out their swords with a brush, An Ruosu's face was like frost, and asked, "Ye Gongzi, what's going on?!" Why is the personal sword of our sect ancestor in the hands of Senior Sister Ling?! ”

Seeing that the situation was not good, Ah Jiu immediately ran to the side of everyone in Mingyue Palace, knelt in front of An Ruosu, and shouted, "Sisters! Please save me! ”

An Ruosu hurriedly held her up and asked, "Little sister, what's the matter?" Did the two of them embarrass you? ”

Ah Jiu said: "Good sister! My parents and relatives were killed by Jin Bing, and now I am alone and have nowhere to live, so I beg my sister to take me in! Those two people weren't from the town, we had only known me for a while, and I didn't know what they were! ”

An Ruosu comforted Ah Jiu a few words, stood up, stared at Ye Chuan and Su Ling, his eyes were full of suspicion, and the disciples who were originally cleaning the battlefield in the distance also rushed over at this time and surrounded the two in the middle.

As a result, the scene became even more awkward.

Ye Chuan cleared his throat and said, "Speaking of which, you may not believe it, this bamboo branch sword was given to my junior sister by Senior Lu. ”

An Ruosu said: "The bamboo branch sword is a gift from the ancestor who is in love, and it has been regarded as a treasure for so many years, and it has never left an inch, how can it be given to others, Ye Gongzi will not blush when he lies!" ”

Ye and Su glanced at each other, and they both saw a look of surprise in each other's eyes, Ye Chuan sighed, and said, "If you are patient, listen to me carefully explain the origin of this sword!" ”
