Westbound Exit (3)

According to what He Suizhao said before, the four guards were all in the backyard, she didn't want anything, she ran to the backyard with all her might, only secretly praying that she could see the guards before the hand touched her again, and picked up her life. There was the sound of footsteps on the wooden staircase, and before she could raise her eyes to look, there was already the sound of a fight behind her, and the sound of the old vegetable head breaking the bowl in his hand.

The man behind her chased her to the backyard, Ada was talking with Aliu in the backyard, at first sight of this scene, Aliu screamed in shock, and was immediately pushed aside by Ada violently. He picked up a thick wooden stick and intercepted the person behind Mu Qing alive. In the blink of an eye, He Suizhao had already fought with the other three to the backyard, and the four guards rushed up, and he was about to pull out and run to Mu Qing's side, and asked in a deep voice, "Do you recognize them?" ”

"Li Jiancheng's close attendant, I recognize." Mu Qing tried his best to control the trembling voice. At this time, the spacious backyard was already in chaos, and the sound of fighting and shouting, the sound of sticks smashing, and the sound of sharp weapons were mixed together. The man seemed to be staring at Mu Qing and refused to let go, the long knife in his hand cut the wooden stick held by Ada into several pieces, and rushed to her in a blink of an eye, stabbing her throat with the long knife, and shouting loudly: "He Suizhao, you actually have the courage to collude with Erlang." ”

He Suizhao had nothing to defend in his hands, and seeing that the tip of the sword that flashed with cold light was coming straight to Mu Qing, he had to pull her to the side and fall to the side, and the two of them rolled to the ground together to avoid his stab. Ada suddenly grabbed him from behind, twisting his arm like a human horn, and he struggled to break free from Ada's entanglement, although he threw Ada away, the long knife in his hand fell to the ground with a thud. Mu Qing was pulled to the ground by He Suizhao and had not yet gotten up, when she suddenly saw the long knife fall into her hand, she didn't think about it, she reached out and grabbed the handle of the knife, and picked up the long knife before him. Fearing that he would take it, he devoted almost all his strength to his right hand, which held the hilt of the long sword. Even He Suizhao couldn't break her hand.

"None of these four can stay." He Suizhao shouted behind Mu Qing, and the four guards over there were all ruthless. She looked back at him with wide eyes, the killing was so close to her, and it might not be long before she would see it happen to her for the first time in her life. After a moment's distraction, the man in front of her pounced on her again, threatening to knock her down and grab the knife. Before she had time to think about it, He Suizhao stretched out his hand from behind her, grabbed her hand with the handle of the knife, and stabbed the tip of the knife forward.

Mu Qing's hand gripping the handle of the knife suddenly sank. The long knife had pierced his throat, and she could clearly see the person in front of her glaring straight at her with his eyes open in resentment, black-red, black-red blood rushing out from the place where his throat had been pierced by the sword. Her mind was filled with thoughts over and over again, that he was someone's child, that he was someone's husband, that he was the father of someone's child. Now he was nothing, she had turned him from child, husband, father into a unconscious corpse with her own hands.

The blood that had not had time to gush out of his mouth rushed to his mouth, and suddenly he opened his mouth and a mouthful of blood foamed at her. It sprayed her face, on her robe, and even on her hands, with little by little sticky blood stains everywhere. She grew her mouth in horror. But he couldn't make any sound, and hurriedly let go of the hilt of the knife in his hand, and the man threw himself forward with the long knife. Straight at her feet. Frightened, she hurriedly retreated, but her feet were floating, her body was weak, and her legs had already lost consciousness. He Suizhao was behind her, still maintaining the posture just now, and at this time he happened to stretch out his other hand and hold her, so he didn't teach her to fall backwards and sit on the ground.

"Qi Niang, Qi Niang!" He Suizhao called her eagerly behind her, but she didn't hear it at all, turned around and stared at his face blankly, and then pushed him away suddenly, stumbling forward aimlessly. He grabbed her with one hand, distracted to see the battle on the other side, and only one of the other three was still fighting, and he said fiercely: "You must not teach him to run away to deliver the news." After that, he pulled Mu Qing, who was stunned, to sit on the stone mill on the side.

There were all kinds of voices ringing in her head, the sound of fighting, screaming, Ah Liu's voice, Ada's voice, and even Du Ruhui's and Yinghua's voices in the distance, all kinds of sounds converged in one place, and finally became the aftermath of the bell of the cymbals colliding, and the bell became louder and louder, until it became a roar. Only He Suizhao's voice, she couldn't hear it, and she clearly watched him leaning over in front of him and shaking himself, his lips opening and closing, but she couldn't hear what he was talking about at all.

It didn't take long for the backyard to calm down, and He Suizhao was no longer by her side. Mu Qing slowly glanced around, Ada stood beside her vigilantly, and it should be Ah Liu who was supporting her behind her, and he was talking to Kang Saburo with a panicked tone, there were four unconscious corpses on the ground, blood stained all over the ground, He Suizhao was kicking away and looking through them one by one, and he was sure that there was no life, and the four guards were unharmed, standing on the side. She looked down at her hands and hands, the blood stains were still there, and her heart suddenly churned with nausea, and she sighed several times before she could barely suppress the feeling of wanting to vomit.

Seeing that she gradually understood, He Suizhao walked up to her cautiously, took away his usual frivolity, squatted down and looked into her eyes, "Qi Niang, but surprised?" She shook her head slowly. If we don't hurt their lives, I'm afraid that they will kill us too, and this is a life-and-death situation, do you understand? ”

She focused her gaze on his face, looked at him motionlessly, and sighed softly, "I understand. She reacted at this time, He Sui Zhao calmed down a lot, turned his head to look at the four corpses, and continued: "It is obvious that Li Dalang has also taken action, but fortunately they went the same way as us, and they were almost preempted. He couldn't wait for the news of these four people, or send someone to go again, or go in person, and now he has gained some time, and he is afraid that he will not be able to last long, so he can only hurry up. ”

"There is a shortcut, then you can't go to the official road." Kang Saburo touched the beard on his face and hesitated and said: "It takes about six days to take the official road to Diaoyin County, and it is only a three-day trip from the barren mountains and forests between Lishi County and Yan'an County. ”

He Suizhao pondered for a moment, turned to Mu Qing with an inquiring meaning, and before he could speak, she had already supported Ah Liu's hand and stood up leisurely, "Then let's go like this." I'm going to change my robe, so I'd better deal with it quickly. The corners of his lips were unconsciously hooked, and a little light and deep smile reappeared in his eyes, and he felt more and more that she was different. But all the women he has seen are mostly hidden in the house, at most they should go out for a little trip according to the solar terms, or wander around the temple street in the city, carefully calculating the small profits under their eyes. He has never seen such a bold and wanton woman. When she put on her skirt and wrapped her shawl in the bustling capital, she was like a lotus flower with a clear distance, and when she wore men's clothes and mediated between a group of men who were fighting for the world, her heart seemed to be as strong as a stone. In his eyes, it was really mysterious.

He waved for the guards to find a cart in the courtyard and carry the bodies to a pit in the woods a little farther away, leaving Ada to look after her. Mu Qing was supported by Ah Liu, walked in slowly, and halfway through, he remembered something, stopped and asked, "...... the shopkeeper?"

"Qi Niang rest assured, he has nothing to do with this matter, and he will never hurt his life." With his words, she was relieved to go back to the house to change her robe and wash her hands. Ah Liu had been silently busy, fetching water to wipe her hands and face, turning out a clean lapel robe, and rolling up the blood-stained robe she had changed three or five times. "Aliu?" Mu Qing was afraid that she would be frightened, so he called her carefully. Unbeknownst to him, Ah Liu raised his head and smiled with relief, held her hand and said, "Qi Niang doesn't have to worry, Ah Liu is shocked, but he is not afraid." This road is still long, and I am afraid at this time, what should I do in the future? So saying, he sat her down, spread out her haphazard hair, and tied it back in a bun.

When the two took their bags and went downstairs, He Suizhao had already found the shopkeeper's old cabbage, the old cabbage head sat at the table with his head bowed, he took out a brocade bag from his arms and opened it, flipped the brocade bag with the bottom facing the sky, and fell out of three gold cakes with a crackle, "Old cabbage, don't panic." Can you see these three pieces of gold? The old vegetable head boldly glanced up at the golden cake, and suddenly shrank less, and looked at He Suizhao suspiciously. I bought your shop in one piece, and after we left, you burned it yourself, and from then on, whoever asked, only said that it was a night of water, and did not say a word. The old cabbage was stunned for a moment, and then nodded his head a few times. He Suizhao picked up the second piece of gold cake and said: "This piece is compensation for you, you can find another place and open an inn, or keep it for the elderly, whatever you want." When he nodded again, the panic on the old cabbage's face was gone, and he was completely happy. The third piece of gold cake, hehehehe......" He Suizhao laughed coldly, "You have also seen a certain method, dare to say a word to others tonight, this piece is your funeral money, enough for you to have a grand funeral." The joy on the old cabbage's face was instantly replaced by fear, a bead of sweat appeared on the corner of his forehead, he nodded and shook his head busily, and stammered: "Wan, don't dare." Pander to...... Lang rest assured. He Suizhao put on a warm smile again, put three pieces of gold cakes into a brocade bag, stuffed them into the arms of the old cabbage, patted him on the shoulder, and startled him to jump on the stool.

When Kang Saburo handed her the reins, her hands were still slightly unstable, her legs were still weak, and she couldn't lift the stirrup, so she took a few deep breaths before she suppressed her heart palpitations, stepped on the stirrups and turned over the horse. Two of the four guards were exploring the road with Kang Saburo in front, two were on the left and right of Mu Qing, and Ah Liu was still riding with Ada, walking side by side with He Suizhao. In the wilderness of the country here, there is no curfew, and a group of people set foot on the post road again, because the night dark horse is tired and unhappy, they must not run with their hooves, but can only kick and trot all the way. After running for about a moment, the hall suddenly lit up behind him, and when he looked back, the direction of the inn was really on fire, lighting up the night sky. Kang Saburo sighed heavily and said: "Without the inn of the old vegetable head, my business route has to be diverted again." (To be continued......)
