After Zhen Xilin stabbed an enemy with a sword, he just wanted to turn around and retreat to Minglang's side, but another person jumped up in the middle of the water, and when the boat was jolting to one side and Zhen Xilin was unstable, a sword shot out with a "swish", hitting him in the lower abdomen. He snorted, tilted, and fell into the water. Immediately, the surface of the water was a blood-red.

Qiu Wanli shouted: "Old town! "Pounce on him to rob him, where is the time! After the Assassin's first blow, morale was boosted, and several more people jumped up and lunged at them.

Calmly realized that his disadvantage was that he was unstable, so he retreated to the center of the cabin, and Qiu Wanli and Minglang were back to back, protecting Yanran in the middle, trying their best to maintain the balance of the boat.

Yan Ran naturally refused to stand idly by. However, she has a body of light skills, but she has never practiced weapons, and there is really no way. Turning his head to look at the sword in the cabin that was holding the plum core to sneak attack the enemy, he suddenly had a flash of inspiration in his mind. At this time, the attackers in the water also injured several people, and there were still five or six people fighting with Tai Ran and others on the side and bow of the boat. She looked up to see the direction of the wind, jumped out from behind the trio, and jumped to the stern of the boat. Shouted: "Squat, rest!" ”

Minglang was shocked, and I didn't know what she meant. But as soon as Tairan heard the "closed breath", he already understood, and then pressed Ming Lang Qiu Wanli down, and drank the order to pick up the book and cover his mouth and nose with the sword, and pounced on Xiao Wow and Ah Huda. Saying that it was too late, Yan Ran sprinkled a paper bag in her hand into the wind, and a cloud of gray-green powder floated out, and pounced on the face of the enemy who was still in a daze on the side of the ship because of the sudden loss of his opponent.

In the blink of an eye, small green bubbles appeared on the faces of those people, and they threw down their weapons, covered their faces and screamed. But as soon as the hand touched the skin, pieces of flesh fell off, revealing the white bones of Sensen. Then the screaming stopped abruptly, and there were several plops, and five or six people fell into the river.

Immediately, a thick, oily green bubble appeared on the surface of the water. Wrapped in the boiling water, it was diluted, and slowly flowed downstream.

Yanran's body was weak, and she lay on the stern of the boat and vomited. She was disgusted by her own poison.

calmly helped her up, wiped the stains on the corners of her mouth with her sleeve, and pressed her palm against her vest, losing a little true qi to her, and her face turned around.

Qiu Wanli didn't care about wrapping Minglang's wounds, so he picked up the oars and rowed them himself. The ship was easily brought to shore, and the eighteen warriors and nurses jumped on board and carried their respective masters ashore.

They witnessed everything on the shore, but there was nothing they could do. Although the eighteen warriors have bows and arrows, who dares to guarantee that they will not hurt their own people when they are in a scuffle?

After stepping ashore, Yan Ran took the package from the squire, found the wound medicine and gauze she had brought, and bandaged the wound for Minglang.

Ming Lang was killed in the battle of Zhen Xilin, and the pain in his heart was more than the pain in his shoulder. In the face of the lesson of blood, he finally realized the horror of the conspiracy, the danger of the situation, and how undeserved his wanton recklessness was. Unfortunately, he was unable to save Zhen Xilin's life.

When Ahuda came ashore, he gradually got rid of the discomfort of seasickness and came back to life, feeling very depressed that he had not been able to show himself in this battle. The Eighteen Warriors also sighed. For them, not having a fight is more uncomfortable than not having food. There is a fight, but you can only watch it, it is sadder than death. Privately, they wished that the Assassins would make a comeback so that they could behave.

Calmly cleaned his hands as usual and changed out of his blood-spattered clothes. He couldn't tolerate a little dirt on himself.

After a short rest, calmly and clearly discussed with Qiu Wanli and decided to set off immediately. Once the other party knows that Lu Minghe failed in assassination, he will definitely strike again. So, in any case, the sooner you return to the court, the better.

A group of people continued to set off and marched towards Huangzhou, the capital of Chimelong Kingdom.

Unable to cross the river, the carriage remained on the other side, and everyone mounted their horses. Tai Ran naturally took his lightning steed, and he rode with Yan Ran, galloping at the front of the team. Minglang followed closely behind with Xiao Wow.

The western suburbs of Huangzhou. In a courtyard under the Luofeng Slope.

A black-clothed masked man sat on the Taishi chair in the hall, and two kneeled in front of him.

"Master, it's the subordinates who are ineffective and the plan has failed, please punish you."

"Have you summarized the reasons for the failure?" After a while, the masked man asked.

The man kneeling on the right side said: "Tell the master, it was Killer No. 3 who suddenly appeared before the time came, and changed the target of the assassination, causing us to rush into battle, and the whole plan failed." ”

"Where's Killer Three?"

"It's been broken." The person on the left did not dare to raise his head, and replied tremblingly.

"Dig your heart, feed the dog!" The masked man said solemnly.

"Yes!"

"What about the losses?"

The man on the right replied: "Four wounded, seven dead." ”

The man on the left: "Master, although the timing of the assassination is wrong, our plan could still have succeeded. Unexpectedly, the inconspicuous female doctor in the target group actually poisoned five people in an instant, which led to our final failure. ”

The masked man got up and turned to look out the window.

Outside the window is Luofeng Slope, at this time the sky is overcast, shrouded in Luofeng Mountain, showing a solemn atmosphere.

"Where will they rest tonight?"

"Tell the master, the subordinates judge that they will settle in Qingluo Town tonight."

"Take Wu Jiang and list the female doctor as a killing target. Do what you planned, and don't have any more accidents, or you won't have to see me!" ”

The two touched the ground with their heads and promised in unison.

At dusk, Minglang and his entourage arrived at Qingluo Town on the border of Chimelong.

They did not enter the town, but set up tents by a stream in a wasteland outside the town.

This place is full of gravel, the terrain is flat, and the view is wide, which is convenient for vigilance; Once the enemy is attacking, they have more options to retreat.

Qiu Wanli acted steadily and was experienced, and he had already become the de facto leader of this group of people.

There were five tents in total, and Yan Ran and Dali occupied one.

Arrange patrols, bury pots and cook, whether it is the eighteen warriors or the bright guards, they are all familiar with the way.

After a brief dinner, Yanran came to the stream. Due to the humidity here, there are many weeds stretched on both sides of the river. Yan Ran is accustomed to it, and when she sees flowers and plants, she wants to identify them. Unconsciously, I picked a lot of it in my hands.

She saw a plant with a small yellow flower on its top, and thought it was familiar, but she couldn't remember its name. Hurriedly took out the "Poison Sutra" from his arms, compared it, and exclaimed in surprise: "Ruthless flower!" ”

It is recorded in the Poison Book that the ruthless flower has one stem and three leaves, and the top blooms yellow flowers, which can only grow in the humid place of dry land, and the requirements for dry and wet are extremely special, so it is very rare. Its flowers have a strong hallucinogenic effect, and only one flower can make people forget and be confused. That's why it's called "Ruthless Flowers".

According to the Poison Sutra, what the world does not know is that the ruthless flower is hallucinating, but its three leaves are the treasure, which can detoxify all kinds of poisons, and the effect is not inferior to that of the crane grass.

Yanran was overjoyed and hurriedly picked the flowers and put them in her arms. After looking for a long time, I couldn't see a single ruthless flower again.

It was already dark, and she didn't dare to go far, holding a handful of herbs and walking back. In the tent, Dali took off her black suit and wore a homely green dress, showing another kind of lazy beauty. Seeing Yanran coming back, she hurriedly came over: "Doctor A, did you go out alone?" Why don't you see your brother? ”

Yanran smiled and said, "My brother is not with me. Why don't I call him? ”

Dali was ashamed and happy: "That's it...... Also, okay, me, I'll change my clothes. She hurriedly got up and rummaged through her baggage, looking for a nice dress.

Yan Ran slipped out and walked towards the tent of Tairan.

I didn't see him come out after dinner, so he must have followed her closely.

When I approached the tent, I saw that there was a light inside, but there was no sound. Quietly lifted the curtain, and there was a blanket on the ground, and he was sitting on the felt with his eyes closed, while the sword and the book were watching him worriedly. Seeing that Yan Ran was coming, she was about to speak, but Yan Ran stretched out her finger and "shhh

She took off her shoes, walked lightly to Tairan and knelt down, and saw that his eyes were closed, his eyebrows locked, and his thin lips pursed into a line, as if he was enduring great pain.

Could it be that he was injured again?

She looked at the sword with an inquiring gaze. The corners of the sword's mouth twitched, and he almost cried.

Shishu glared at him, lowered his voice and whispered in Yanran's ear: "I have a heart attack!" ”

What heart disease? Why don't I know?

Just as he was about to ask, Tairan had already opened his eyes.

Yan Ran hurriedly asked, "Brother, what kind of heart disease do you have?" Does it hurt? ”

calmly held her hand: "It's been five years, and I will make it every year at this time." ”

"How did you get this disease? Why don't I know? Have you seen it? ”

The sword picked up the book and quietly exited the tent.

looked at her calmly, his eyes became more and more gentle, but there was lingering sadness. "Five years ago today, don't you remember?"

Yan Ran was stunned. Slowly, the mist filled the eyes.

She fell into Tairan's arms: "Brother, on the second day of October five years ago, I fell off the cliff of broken intestines. Three days later, on the fifth day of October, you found me. Today is the fifth day of October. Her tears fell one by one on the hem of her robe.

The pain she brought him was so deep and so deep.

A calm voice came from above her head: "It's much better this year, and it won't hurt anymore in the future, because you've come back." ”

Yanran reached out and grabbed his left hand, and found that his pulse was steady, so she was relieved.

Wiping away her tears, she smiled calmly: "Brother, there is someone still waiting for you!" ”

"Except for you, whoever waits for me will not go."

"Let's go, let's see."

Tairan was pulled by Yanran and came to the small tent. Lift the curtain, only to find that Dali is not inside.
