After coming up, there is a bamboo forest, as Princess Ji Ping said, this is the border of the Western Regions, and the city gate can be faintly seen not far away. Hua Jiu knew that Hua Yu would not let herself go lightly, and as soon as she escaped, she rushed to the northwest, which was in the direction of Xicheng.
At this time, I can't go back to the main city to meet Erniu, and I can't let her get involved, so I have to avoid the limelight first. Thinking like this, she quickened her pace again, only to see a girl in red moving quickly among the bamboo tops, her skills were as vigorous as a shadow.
Light work is very consuming of the body, no, it didn't take long for Hua Jiu to gradually get up, lying next to a bamboo and panting.
blamed herself for being lazy when practicing, and she was tired after running for so long, she thought a little regretfully, presumably Hua Yu's people would chase after him in a while, how could this be good.
There is about an hour away from Xicheng, Hua Jiu walked and looked back to check the surrounding situation, just through the bamboo forest, a river blocked the way, the river is about 100 meters wide, the opposite bank should be Xicheng.
The water is a bit deep, and if you drift over, I'm afraid it's a little inappropriate, after all, your light skills haven't been practiced to the point of pure fire. Touching her chin, she began to think of a way to cross the river.
While thinking about it, I saw a boatman rowing a small wooden boat slowly coming not far away.
Hua Jiuyi was excited, hurriedly beckoning to him, and kept shouting: "Old man, old man..."
When the old boatman heard the voice, he turned his head and saw her, and asked aloud, "But the girl wants to cross the river?" β
"Yes, yes, yes!" Hua Jiu put his hands to his lips and replied excitedly.
In a short time the little wooden boat came ashore, and the boatman, who was supposed to be a fisherman, had a hat on his head, and a net and a few barrels.
"Seeing that the girl has been standing for so long, she should be crossing the river." The boatman said enthusiastically. "It just so happens that the grass people have nothing to do, so let's take the girl across the river."
Upon hearing this, Hua Jiu bowed to him gratefully, "Thank you." β
However, as soon as she was about to get on the boat, she noticed that the situation was not good, and the bamboo tips not far away shook violently, and the bamboo leaves on the ground also rolled up.
It's -- murderous.
"Isn't the girl on board?" The boatman saw that she was not moving, and looked at her suspiciously.
And she tensed her nerves, and her dark eyes kept looking left and right. "Old man, get out of here, I may not be able to cross the river." She said to the boatman.
The boatman muttered suspiciously, how strange she was, and paddled away with his head shaken.
Sure enough, it didn't take long for a group of black-clothed masked people to jump out from all directions and circle Hua Jiu, and the boatman who had just left was so frightened that he shook his oars when he saw this scene, and then he knew the reason why she didn't get on the boat.
When the masked men appeared, they jumped forward and started their knives without saying a word.
Originally, one or two would be difficult enough to deal with, but now there were twenty or thirty people directly, Hua Jiu had no choice but to run along the riverbank, but she didn't expect that those people were very profound, and three or two strokes blocked her way.
Hua Yu, the old fox, actually secretly cultivated such a group of killers, is he going to die here today? She wanted to cry without tears. No, the master's task has not been completed, and he is not yet famous in the world, so he can't die yet.
Thinking of this, she dodged a bright knife, and at the same time took out a smoke from her waist and threw it around, and suddenly the whole white mist swirled, blocking the sight of the group of masked people.
At this time, he took the opportunity to jump into the river next to him and rowed forward with all his might. It didn't take long for the masked men to follow suit, chasing after them.
"Helpβ" After hearing the sound of water, she suddenly realized her current situation, and couldn't help but cry out in panic.
Looking back, I saw about five or six masked men rowing very quickly, and in a moment they were less than six or seven meters away from her. In a panic, she took out a dart from her waist and threw it over, but there was no way, because she was in the water, her vision was not very accurate at all. The attempt wasted a few darts in vain, so she could only breathe and swim down into the water.
Twenty or thirty people chased a girl, and the water moved very much, and layers of waves rushed to the shore.
At this moment, I saw a thick rope rushing forward, and suddenly bright red blood spread out from the bottom of the river in a small area, until it reached the surface of the river. It turned out that Hua Jiu's ankle was hooked by the hook on the rope, and the hook was so sharp that it directly penetrated her bones and hindered her forward speed. Looking back, he saw a masked man pulling the rope into his arms.
It hurt so much, her right leg was numb from pain, and she gradually lost her strength, and she rushed to the surface of the river, gasping for air while gasping for air.
The leg was restrained and could not move again, twenty or thirty people soon came to her, seeing that the knife was about to stab, at this moment she was completely desperate, dizzy, as if she was slowly sinking, and her eyelids could not be raised......
If she chooses again, she will never agree to Yucheng'an to save people, alas, she was killed by a flower chicken in this life.
It's just that I've been waiting for a long time, and it doesn't seem to have come to an end.
Suddenly, I felt a long whip on my waist, and then I retracted it, and then I flew into an embrace......
What a familiar atmosphere...... As soon as he thought this, Hua Jiu lost consciousness and fainted.
I saw that the group of masked people was surrounding a man who suddenly appeared at this time, this man was dressed in a black robe, his long hair was untied and scattered on his shoulders like a waterfall, his black boots were printed with red lines, his toes were on the surface of the river, his right hand was still holding a woman in red, and the long whip on his left hand tapped the river surface unintentionally or unintentionally, rippling through layers of aperture.
His momentum was formidable, and his whole body exuded a powerful and dangerous aura, which instantly spread throughout the surroundings, causing the twenty or thirty killers to hesitate to step forward, staring at him motionless at the moment.
"Up." I don't know who whispered, and suddenly everyone jumped forward from the water, and dozens of knives slashed at him at the same time.
The black-robed man was calm and comfortable, his cold eyes made people shudder, and he suddenly jumped up and stepped on the middle of the oncoming scabbard, and suddenly the knife seemed to be glued, and dozens of people jerked the knife, but they were indifferent.
At this time, the long whip flicked, one turned around, and dozens of heads fell into the water one after another, blood splashed everywhere like a splash, and they didn't even have time to shout out screams, and none of them lived.
After finishing the matter, the black-robed man held the woman in his arms on tiptoe and stepped on the river towards the bank of the Xicheng River.
The originally clear river was now soaked in blood, and the thick smell of blood spread for miles away.
