Chapter 10: First Sight (1)
As soon as he didn't make a sound, he was so startled that Stealing Jade and Hua Heng both jumped up. Hua Heng saw that Du Zhiping was about to struggle to get up, and her face couldn't help but feel cold. He put away the jade pendant and said to the jade thief: "Quick, let's go!" ”
Stealing Jade nodded, even if she was asked to stay a little longer at this moment, she wouldn't dare. So the two quickly pushed open the window and jumped out of the window one after another. As soon as they left on the front foot, they heard Du Zhiping roar with all his strength: "Come on, arrest them back to the official, and don't let any of them run away!" ”
The night sky was dark and gloomy, thick like ink that could not be melted at all. It was supposed to be an ordinary night, but suddenly two figures, one red and one purple, burst out, as fast as lightning, tearing open a hole in the dead night. Immediately afterward, more than a dozen people in dark blue clothes chased after him. Their speed was also very fast, and the swords in their hands shimmered with bloodthirsty cold in the dim starlight.
Hua Heng galloped as she looked back at the people who were following them. These dozen or so people have been following Du Zhiping all the time, hiding in the dark, undetectable. However, when something happens, they appear like ghosts. These people's kung fu is excellent, and it can be seen that they are carefully selected killers, and they are rumored to be the dead soldiers raised by Du Zhiping's side. Although Hua Heng and Jade Stealing are unmatched, it is also very difficult to escape such a top master!
The stealing jade body is like a swallow, galloping all the way, and he does not dare to slack off. They had already run for more than ten miles, but the people behind them were still chasing after them. In desperation, Jade Stealing had no choice but to say a secret word to Hua Heng, which was the villa's original method of contacting allies in an emergency. She whistled, and her voice was like the chirping of a hollow bird, which roughly meant: "Senior brother, you take the jade pendant back to the villa first, and I am responsible for luring them away." Let's go separately, and the odds are better. ”
Hua Heng shook her head and whistled as well: "No, it's too dangerous for you to be alone." These people's martial arts are too high, I can't leave you behind. ”
Stealing Yu was so anxious that his forehead sweated, so he had to continue to persuade: "They have all seen you before, even if you hide, it will be easy for them to find out." I've been in the shadows, unnoticed, and I can hide in people's homes, or I'll lead them away. ”
Hua Heng hesitated. However, the situation is really not optimistic, the group is very good, and if they continue to escape like this, they will have to die of exhaustion. Helpless, Hua Heng had to nod: "You must be careful!" ”
The two finally came to an agreement. Then, Hua Heng worked hard, and flew out a few meters with a "whoosh". And the jade thief deliberately slowed down a little so that the people who were chasing her could see her. Sure enough, the whistling sound behind him was getting closer and closer, and the stealing jade flew into a bamboo forest in the western suburbs of the capital.
The bamboo forest is very dense, and the bamboo grows exceptionally luxuriantly. The jade stealing shuttled through it, causing the bamboo leaves on his side to make a "rustling" sound. The dozen or so guards chased after each other and followed up with the bamboo forest. Originally, they were all gathered together, but as soon as they entered the bamboo forest, they scattered and attacked everywhere, trying to trap the jade thief in the bamboo forest.
Stealing Jade secretly said something bad in her heart, and hurriedly pulled out the soft sword around her waist. This sword is called "Yulu", and it is specially sent by the master to make it with nine soft iron, which is very soft and can be wrapped around the waist, but the iron is like clay. Stealing jade rarely uses swords on weekdays, and he only practices the art of stealing. Although her comprehension in swordsmanship is extremely high, she is not well rooted in practice, and she is more dangerous in front of masters. It was only because of the suddenness of today's incident that she had already sensed the hidden murderous intent around her, so she drew her sword to protect herself.
Du Zhiping's guards gradually approached, and they formed a tendency to outflank, wanting to surround the stealing jade in the middle and attack. The bamboo forest is forested, and there is a sense of coldness at this time. Stealing Jade's heart beat like a drum, she had never encountered such a dangerous situation, in case it fell into the hands of this group of people......
"Whoosh-ding!"
There was a sound of wind whistling in his ears, interrupting the jade thief's train of thought. Fortunately, the jade thief reacted very quickly, and waved his hand to block the cold arrow shot at him with a soft sword. I saw that the cold arrow was missed by the sword and nailed into a vigorous bamboo next to it, and it actually pierced the bamboo! A layer of cold sweat couldn't help but ooze from her back, if she hadn't dodged just now, she would have been penetrated. The girl who was being chased did not dare to relax for half a minute, and quickly shuttled through the bamboo forest with a soft sword. However, the dozen or so well-trained Secret Guards were not vegetarians either. They gradually closed in the middle, getting closer and closer, and one of them could catch the jade thief in no time. It was impossible to blindly escape, and the jade thief had to take the initiative to fight.
A dark guard armed with two knives was the first to meet her, and it was the one closest to her. He was extremely fast, as if he had countless doppelgangers. One second it's still in front of you, the next second it could be on the left, right, or even in the back. Stealing Jade swung his sword and fought with him for a few rounds, only to feel that this person's sword technique was the same as his body, which was extremely weird.
Stealing Jade spun around, leaping over the heads of the two-sword guards, and then with a wave of his right hand, blocking the sharp knife momentum. She was anxious in her heart, afraid that the others would catch up again. It's so troublesome to deal with only this one person who wields two knives, not to mention that there are so many secret guards with special skills. Thinking so, Stealing Jade took a few more deadly attacks from the two-knife secret guards.
Others were approaching, and arrows were whistling. However, as if to confirm the previous ominous speculation, when the jade stealing jade and the pair of sword guards were obsessed with fighting and had no time to fight, another cold arrow broke through the air and pierced straight into the left shoulder of the jade thief.
"Ahh
The pain of the tear came from the shoulder blade of the left shoulder, and the pain was so painful that she almost fainted. She grew up in the Hidden Sky Villa since she was a child, and although she is not a famous lady, she does live a life of fine clothes and food. Master and brother love her very much, and never let her eat half of it. Even if it is training, it is to pick up the most suitable for them, and never force it. The most painful time was when I was a child who was greedy for play, and fell from a tree and broke my arm. And now, the cold arrow pierced her shoulder, piercing through the flesh and bones, and the pain was heartbreaking. And the arrow was also quenched with poison, the wound was burning hot, and half of the body began to be numb.
Stealing Yuwu held on to himself, thinking that it was never a way to hit hard, so he took out the only remaining "smoke and rain snatching" from his waist. She used all her strength to hold the "smoke and rain" out, and suddenly, a thick and choking smoke filled her body. The guards were caught off guard, thinking that the smoke was poisonous, so they hurriedly stopped their steps and covered their noses to dodge. Taking advantage of the chaos, Stealing Jade endured the sharp pain coming from his left shoulder, and fled quickly into the distance.
I'm going to die this time! Stealing Jade thought sadly. Blood was dripping from her shoulder, and she covered the wound with her right hand, fearing that the group would follow the blood trail all the way. Although the arrow is not highly poisonous, it seems to have the effect of making people drowsy and weak. The more he walked, the more he lost his strength, and with the excessive blood loss, his speed was so slow that he was in danger of being caught up at any time. That Du Zhiping is notoriously cruel and tyrannical, I don't know if he can save a small life if he is caught?
However, just when she was on the verge of despair, a retreat appeared in the depths of the bamboo forest, as if it appeared out of thin air. It was a small house made of bamboo, small in scale, but it looked very delicate and elegant. I don't know what kind of person would live in seclusion in such a bamboo forest on the outskirts of the capital? If you want to live in seclusion, you should not choose a place so close to the capital. But since he can't leave the capital, but he lives here alone, he won't be an ordinary person. But at this time, the stealing jade can't care so much, and this bamboo forest essence house is her last lifeline. It's a matter of life and death, so why don't you take a gamble.
Stealing Jade stumbled to the ashram, knocking on the door and looking back from time to time. Fortunately, they haven't chased after them right away.
"Squeak......
The door was pushed open from the inside. Through the not-so-bright moonlight, Stealing Jade only vaguely saw that it was a young man in white who walked out of the house. He seemed to have fallen asleep, and when he heard a knock at the door, he hurried to open the door with his clothes on. The light was too dim for Stealing Jade to see his face. It's just that this person exudes a scent of grass, without any murderous aura, which makes her feel at ease for no reason. Stealing Yu only felt that her whole body was in severe pain, and she used her last bit of strength to intermittently plead with the man: "Childe, Childe save me!" Yes, someone is going to kill me! With that, she rolled her eyes and fainted completely.
