Chapter 63: The Praying Mantis Catches the Cicada
The winter moon is rare, standing proudly above the black dome, but it adds to the loneliness of the cold night. Through the cracks in the locked windows, the bright moonlight poured on the floor, and the room was bright, but on the bed, the woman could not sleep. As a mother, you know how to think about it. Tears, a little salty, silent, slid down his cheeks and wet the pillow. It's really that the moon is not full, and it's difficult for people to be all.
But just when Zhao Chan was worried, a good show was quietly staged outside Handan City because of this.
The bright moonlight shining on the thatched hut seemed to be sprinkled with a layer of silver, which had a unique sense of refinement. At this time, the house was quiet, but not far from the house, there were people who were ready to attack like eagles, eyeing each other.
As the candle flame in the hut went out, there was a stumbling voice: "Boss, it's already rested, when are we going to do it?" ”
There was a whining in their voices, they had been lying in ambush here since noon, and now it was dark, and the moon had climbed up the mountain!
"No hurry, wait! It's better to wait until the woman sleeps dead. The speaker was their head, covered with a black scarf, and deliberately lowered his voice.
The first person to speak was about to say something, but was interrupted by another voice.
"Little Liu, Mr. has ordered, you must be careful and ensure the safety of the little boy!" The person who spoke was a stranger next to their head, who spoke Sven and quite steady, and it was the second child.
"That's right! If you do it at this time, the woman in the house will threaten the life of the little boy if she can't keep it. The Boss reminded again.
Xiao Liu was silent and said no more. Even though at this time, hunger and thirst were unbearable, and he didn't dare to move, he still held back.
This group of people is the person who robbed the carrier pigeon and took Zhao Chan away in the middle of the road that day, and it is also Lu Buwei's people.
The wind rose, striking a little chill, and also with dark clouds shrouded the bright moon, and the surroundings became darker and darker.
"Do it!" As the boss's voice remembered in the silent night, more than a dozen black shadows flashed and went to the hut together.
At first, one person walked the fastest, it was Xiao Liu, I saw him open the door lightly, compared gestures, and several people tiptoed into the hut. The rest of the people stayed outside the house to take cover.
In the house, the second child lifted the quilt corner, picked up the sleeping child, nodded to the person behind him, and walked away.
The person behind him was the boss, and he was about to kill the woman on the bed, when he heard the sound of swords fighting outside the house.
"Boss, it's not good, someone is attacking us!" Xiao Liu said at the door, and then joined the fight outside the door.
Hearing this, the boss glanced at the woman on the floor, and said in his heart, now that the little boy has succeeded, it doesn't matter if this woman is killed or not, it still matters to the brothers. The thought quickly flashed through his mind, and the boss had already rushed out of the house in three steps and two steps.
The sound of killing outside also woke up the woman on the floor. I saw that the woman first quickly touched the vacant seat beside her, and then she was alert and immediately sat up. Through the moonlight outside the window, you can see that this woman is quite beautiful, and her eyebrows are also delicate, this woman is undoubtedly Xiao An! Xiao An cautiously walked to the door and looked out, only to see that there had already been a fight outside. Trembling, she hid behind the door, and her heart jumped with the sound of swords outside. She had never seen such a battle, blood was pouring everywhere, and her hands were rubbed vigorously, as if they were also dyed with bright red. After exhaling deeply, force yourself to calm down. She knew she had to get out and take the child with her. Her life is already bitter, it doesn't matter whether she lives or dies, but if she takes that child, it will be different, at least she can enjoy wealth in this life!
Thinking about these clearly, Xiao An stretched out his head and stopped trembling, but he still saw the two groups of people outside. One of them was dressed in black and covered with a black scarf, while the other was a man in armor. Look at the child again, at this time in the hands of a man in black.
"Little Liu, take the little boy first! I'll cover you! "Not to mention, this second child looks like Sven, but the cheering fight is not ambiguous at all, and this kung fu is indeed not bad. Because the child was in his hands, there were three people around him, he only had one hand, but he still held on for so long, and when he saw Xiaoliu get out, he quickly stuffed the child to Xiaoliu.
Xiaoliu took the child, and he was not ambiguous, and hurriedly stepped back.
"Little Liu, you take Childe away first! We're back! ”
The boss yelled at Little Six. The person on the opposite side was not ambiguous, and the long sword slashed again, Rao is boss was strong in martial arts, and he tried his best to catch it with a knife, but he still suffered some internal injuries. Hidden behind the black scarf, a trace of blood spilled out of the corner of his mouth.
"Don't even think about leaving!" A loud shout, from the person opposite the boss. The man was quite tall, dressed in armor, and his body was covered with the killing aura of the battlefield, and his sword was ruthless, killing people! This person is none other than Wang Jian's deputy general, Wang Zhong. He thought that a qiē would be very smooth, but unexpectedly, this group of men in black actually grabbed ahead of them!
With a clever figure, Wang Zhong slid out a sword in the air, and the boss suffered internal injuries, couldn't dodge, and injured his shoulder. In the midst of this lightning and flint, Wang Zhong had already caught up with Xiao Liu, and the sharp long sword stabbed at Xiao Liu's body.
Xiao Liu's figure flashed and narrowly avoided it, but because he was holding the child, his body was unstable and he fell to the ground. Xiao Liu defended the child to the death, but the next moment, Wang Zhong made another sword, but it was slashed at Xiao Liu's hand. As soon as Xiao Liu rolled, he narrowly avoided it again, but he left the child.
Wang Zhong was overjoyed and was about to step forward to take the child, but unexpectedly, a strong wind came from behind, and the boss's knife was less than half a foot away from Wang Zhong's back.
Wang Zhong was helpless, and once again avoided the danger, and once again fought with the boss and Xiaoliu. Unexpectedly, at this time, a woman behind the door, taking this opportunity, quietly picked up the child, stepped back, took three steps and two steps, and ran away. Everyone reacted, and no one gave the other a chance to catch up, so they couldn't get out.
Xiao An went all the way to the north, overjoyed in his heart, and was secretly thinking about a better day in the future! Unexpectedly, after walking less than half a mile, I heard the sound of horses' hooves coming from behind me, and when I looked back, my pupils were very dilated, and I only felt that my heart had almost stopped beating. Immediately, the arrow pierced her head with a sound that pierced the air. Xiao An fell to the ground, lost all consciousness, and died a horrible death.
The brown-black horse stopped in front of Xiao An, and a man came down, with a tall posture and a cold body, holding a bow in his right hand and an arrow behind his back. With his left hand, he picked up the child in Xiao An's arms, and at a glance of the good-looking phoenix eyes, he saw that the child was sleeping soundly! Sigh secretly, little guy, calm enough! Then he flew on his horse and immediately raised dust and fluttered it.
The people outside the hut fought up and down for hundreds of rounds, but the people in the army had gone through a hundred battles, and the bloody people were ruthless, and after a while, the people in black were more disabled, and the boss was injured internally, and injured his arm, and he had to deal with Wang Zhong, who was already at the end of the crossbow, and soon he was defeated. The boss saw that his side was gradually losing the upper hand, so he ordered a retreat.
When the king saw this, he did not chase after him anymore, but led people in the direction of the woman.
The wind gradually stopped, and the moon behind the clouds crept up, as if regretting that it had missed a good show.
