Chapter 68: Soft-heartedness
Qin Xingyi took the lead and rushed to the south gate of Moli Town, and saw that there were many lanterns of different sizes hanging there, reflecting the brightness of the south gate.
In the bright light, Mayor Ren Sheng and a large group of people gathered under a wall, as if discussing something. Qin Xingyi panted and ran over and asked, "What about people?" ”
Ren Sheng understood who Qin Xingyi was asking, pointed to the fence with his finger, and said indifferently: "The eldest lady is a step late, that thief has been sent below." ”
Qin Xingyi didn't care to ask more, hurriedly jumped on a big rock, looked under the town wall, only to see that it was dark under the wall, and he couldn't see his five fingers, and asked, "Where is he?" ”
"Isn't that? The eldest lady looked carefully, the shadow that emitted the bright light, and the little thief had a torch in his hand. Ren Sheng pointed to a little light in the distance and explained.
"Mayor Ren, you're going too far!" Qin Xingyi reproached angrily.
"Miss, listen to my explanation."
"What else to explain? If you do this, it is tantamount to pushing Xuanyuan Mingyu to a dead end, and people's lives are at stake, how can you bear it? ”
"Miss, please think about the mayor of this town, but when there is a danger to life, who will the decision-maker usually send to do it? The surname Xuanyuan is an outsider, he himself was already charged with a murderer when he came here, and he committed the unforgivable crime of kidnapping a girl in Moli Town! What do you think is wrong with the mayor of this town to let him make meritorious service? ”
Although Ren Sheng was strong, what he said also contained some truths, which made Qin Xingyi entangled, after all, it was he who believed that Xuanyuan Mingyu was the murderer of his father and told others, which made Xuanyuan Mingyu bear more and more charges.
"Miss!" Blacksmith Xu happened to arrive, shouting as he ran, and saw Qin Xingyi standing silently and calmly looking out of the wall, and her expression was very complicated under the lantern light.
Qin Xingyi turned around and saw Blacksmith Xu looking at him expectantly, he hesitated for a moment, unable to make up his mind, should he risk with Blacksmith Xu to save Xuanyuan Mingyu?
Qin Xingyi felt that it was necessary to ask Blacksmith Xu's opinion, and asked, "Old Xu, do you think it's worth risking our lives to save someone who may be a criminal?" ”
"Miss, save!" Blacksmith Xu's answer was extremely clean and neat.
Qin Xingyi gained confidence, nodded, and said to Ren Sheng: "Mayor Ren, borrow a spear to use." ”
"Miss, don't you want to go out on an adventure and run into the wolves in order to save that thief?"
"You're right, Mayor Ren, Miss Ben wants to get Xuanyuan Mingyu back! Hurry up and prepare the third echelon and set off to meet us as soon as possible. ”
Ren Sheng frowned, because he had great intentions for Qin Xingyi in his heart, hoping to use the strength of the Western Qin Kingdom to help Mo Lizhen expand his territory, so he didn't want to offend the eldest princess, so he had to vaguely promise that he would send someone to pick him up, and ordered his subordinates to take a long handful of red tassel guns, hand them to Qin Xingyi, and said:
"Miss, the mayor of this town knows that you are strong in martial arts, but I still advise you to be careful."
Everyone present was surprised when they heard that Qin Xingyi and Xu Blacksmith were going to participate in the wolf luring operation, and felt that this woman was extraordinary, she was actually more heroic and courageous than a man, and spontaneously applauded and praised: "Heroine, heroine!" ”
In the midst of praise, Qin Xingyi took the red tassel gun and said with a smile: "Fellow villagers, thank you for your encouragement, warm a glass of wine for Miss Ben, and wait for our victory and triumph to introduce the wolves into the encirclement, and then it will be up to you." ”
Ren Sheng saw that Qin Xingyi was in the limelight in Moli Town tonight, and he was not to be outdone, so he admitted: "Everyone rest assured, after Miss Qin sets off, the mayor of this town will lead the seven heroes of Ren's Mansion to answer and ensure that they will not be allowed to make any mistakes!" Everyone hurry up and prepare to fight the wolf. ”
Ren Sheng's impassioned statement immediately won the applause of all the residents present, and he respected his head even more.
"Miss, let's go now?" Blacksmith Xu pulled out the iron axe from behind his back, clenched his hand, and asked firmly.
"Okay, let's go!" Qin Xingyi laughed, lifted the red cloak with her left hand, and held the red tassel gun tightly with her right hand, without the help of the people of Renfu, she jumped out of the wall.
Blacksmith Xu snatched the torch from the hand of one of the people next to him, followed closely behind Qin Xingyi, spread his arms, like a big peng spreading its wings, and jumped out of the wall.
The ingenious light skills of these two people opened the eyes of the residents of Moli Town, and they applauded one after another.
Ren Sheng hurriedly stood on the boulder, observed the movements of Qin Xingyi and the others, and saw that the light of the torch held by Xu Blacksmith was gradually fading away, and he didn't know what it was like in his heart, bitter, spicy, sweet and sour were probably mixed together, right?
Qin Xingyi was athletic, ran in front, and shouted in her heart: Mingyu, I'm here, you have to hold on.
As he was running, Blacksmith Xu saw that the bright spot in the distance suddenly disappeared, and shouted in surprise: "Miss, it's not good!" The fire in front was gone. ”
Qin Xingyi was taken aback, and hurriedly looked up, there were only some green spots of light moving in the darkness in front of her, and they were the eyes of the wild wolf!
"Mingyu, Mingyu!" Qin Xingyi couldn't help but scream, and fell into a panicked and confused mood for a while, forgetting that Xuanyuan Mingyu might be his father-killing enemy, and he didn't want him to die at this moment!
In fact, Xuanyuan Mingyu was not far from Qin Xingyi at the moment.
It turned out that before the three pillars of incense, Xuanyuan Mingyu sat calmly in the big basket, watching the cable that tied the basket slowly droop, and the two big baskets landed smoothly on the ground.
Xuanyuan Mingyu climbed out of the basket and turned his head to look around, the scene outside the wall was extremely empty and lonely, compared with the scene inside the wall, it was like two completely different worlds.
Xuanyuan Mingyu had no fear, calmly pulled the torch that was erected in the crack of the basket from another basket, and at the same time, picked up the long sword, and walked resolutely in the direction where the wolves were.
It seemed that the voice of a little star calling for him came from the night wind, and Xuanyuan Mingyu couldn't help but glance back at the town wall, where the fire above the wall reflected the empty wall, and there was no half of a figure shaking.
He laughed self-deprecatingly, feeling like he was thinking too much! After all, Qin Xingyi has too much resentment towards herself, and she doesn't know when the misunderstanding between herself and her will be resolved? I hope I still have a chance to live and wait for the day of reconciliation, right?
Xuanyuan Mingyu walked crookedly, and suddenly found that there seemed to be more than a dozen small green lanterns swaying left and right in front of him, and it turned out that there were six or seven big bad wolves in front of him.
These six or seven wolves are equivalent to the sentinels responsible for monitoring Mo Lizhen's movements, and their sense of smell is extremely sensitive, and they have already smelled the smell of flesh and blood on people, and they quietly surround them.
Xuanyuan Mingyu stood still, realizing that he had fallen into a small encirclement, and said secretly: What a cunning wolf! He actually used the same combat methods as Ren Sheng, setting up an ambush to surround the enemy.
In the dark night, these wild wolves stopped howling, and the strange light emitted by a pair of turquoise eyes made people feel an inexplicable sense of fear, and the unpleasant smell emanating from the wild wolves was even more disgusting.
Xuanyuan Mingyu knew that he lacked physical strength, and if he pulled his legs and ran back, he would definitely be pounced on from behind by the wild wolf, and his body would be quickly eaten by the wild wolf.
Xuanyuan Mingyu observed carefully and found that in addition to the six big bad wolves on the opposite side, there was also a small white wolf hiding behind the six wolves, which seemed to be full of wildness, and was very impatient to dig the ground with one paw.
After the six big bad wolves surrounded Xuanyuan Mingyu, they were ready to move, ready to pounce at any time, but they were afraid of the pine oil torch that Xuanyuan Mingyu was holding in his hand, so they only jumped up and down on the spot and wanted to try.
One man and seven wolves, the two sides temporarily formed a stalemate.
Xuanyuan Mingyu shook the torch in his hand and tentatively moved in the direction of the little white wolf, which immediately aroused the alarm of the other six wolves, and three of the wolves quickly blocked in front of the little white wolf, like bodyguards.
Xuanyuan Mingyu saw the flaw and felt that the identity of this little white wolf was not ordinary, and guessed that it was very likely to be the cub under the wolf king, and its status was higher than that of other wolves, so the other big bad wolves were very nervous about it.
The little white wolf has the strength of a newborn calf that is not afraid of tigers, and it seems that it has no experience in culling living people, and is only in the stage of watching and learning.
Xuanyuan Mingyu understood that there was no way to stalemate like this, so he wanted to divert the attention of the six big bad wolves, and then try to escape first, and introduce these seven wolves into the encirclement of Moli Town.
He didn't know that there were more wild wolves lurking in the distance, and when these whistle wolves gave a signal, they would all rush out and pounce on them.
Xuanyuan Mingyu has practiced martial arts, if his body is not injured, these wild wolves are not his opponents at all, but because he has been injured one after another in the past two days, the injury is serious, and he has no strength to entangle with these wolves for a long time, so he decided to take a quick approach.
That little white wolf is a weak link! Xuanyuan Mingyu quickly judged the opponent's weakness and decided to attack the little white wolf first.
Xuanyuan Mingyu flipped the torch up and down and spun it, breaking through a path.
Since ancient times, wolves have been afraid of fire. In front of the flying torches, the oncoming wolves retreated one after another, how dare they obstruct it?
Xuanyuan Mingyu avoided the three wild wolves who served as bodyguards, quickly went around the back of the little white wolf, raised the long sword in his hand, and was about to stab down.
After all, the little white wolf was young and had no experience in fighting the enemy, and when he found that danger was coming, he retreated and squatted on the ground, "whooping" twice, a bit like a baby crying.
Xuanyuan Mingyu looked at it condescendingly, and felt that this little white wolf should have never eaten anyone, and his eyes were full of begging for mercy, poor Baba, very much like an innocent child.
He couldn't get his hands down, his sword trembling in the air, and the flaming torch seemed to let out a long groan.
Why would I suddenly soften my heart and not be able to kill the killer?
Man and wolf cannot coexist. If a man does not kill a wolf, he will be eaten by a wolf. Xuanyuan Mingyu is very clear about this truth.
But at this moment, Xuanyuan Mingyu saw the little white wolf's begging eyes, and unconsciously, he felt that he was the same as the little white wolf, a poor weak person who could not defend himself.
