- A five-mile journey on foot would take at least a stick of incense, but it would almost be like the wind whistling under the hooves of galloping horses.

Fang Wu suddenly saw a somewhat familiar back appear in front of him, and when he looked closely, it was indeed the old man in rags who was carrying a bundle of firewood. He suddenly had a thought in his heart, looked sideways behind him, and saw that Cen Chi had already caught up with the reins, but he didn't wave the horsewhip as wildly as before.

The two horses gradually slowed down, the whistling wind in his ears stopped, Fang Wu looked at Cen Chi, a smile appeared on his face, and said slowly: "It turns out that ......" Halfway through the words, he gradually felt guilty about the speculation he had just hidden in his heart, and he didn't know what to continue with the next half of the sentence.

Cen Chi smiled indifferently and said, "Old Dao, your heart is too kind. Although I don't have the same heart as you, I do know a little bit about it. The quest for the Tao is so long, with the longevity of mortals, seeking a chance to comprehend, how to determine when the opportunity can be encountered? The most ruthless thing in the world is the exploitation of the years. Cultivators are actually ruthless in their form of pure hearts and few thoughts, and the flowers bloom and the leaves fall, and the birth, old age, sickness and death are all not moved, so as to comprehend the reincarnation of the Heavenly Dao. ”

Fang Wu's eyes lit up, and he said with a smile: "If it weren't for the fact that you were still a disciple of the main line of the Northern Fence Sect, I would definitely find a way to dig you under my door." ”

"Even if I'm not a disciple of the North Fence Lord's lineage, it's hard to realize this idea of yours." Cen Chi smiled lightly, "I'm just talking, it's easier said than done!" I don't want to be an old god like you...... Maybe I also want to live a free life, but not in the way you believe. I don't think it's going to be so short. ”

"The feeling of being long and short-lived may be in the difference between the attitude you and I choose to live." The smile on Fang Wu's face gradually faded, he put away the topic and did not extend it anymore, and after a pause, he started to say again: "I'm still a little curious, what is that bit of powder you crushed?" ”

"White powder, what do you say?" Cen Chi said to his lips and sold Guanzi, "What other medicine powder can I take, but when I was still resting in the town inn yesterday, I accidentally passed by the kitchen and picked some dough......"

Finally waited until he said the mystery of the white powder. Fang Wu couldn't help the smile on this kid's face. He picked up a whip and whipped it on the horse's hip under his seat.

A tooth for a tooth, a whip, a whip, a whip!!

Cen Chi's face was slightly shocked, in fact, his equestrian skills were much weaker than Fang Wu. He had just drawn his horse with no preparation, so he had no problem riding his mount. But now his horse was whipped by Fang Wu. But it's an emergency.

Seeing that he was almost thrown out. It took a few moments to sit down, and the man had been carried out by the horse, and the angry voice was left behind:

"Old-fashioned. Is revenge the way you cultivate......

Fang Wu shook the reins in his hand, smiled happily, and replied softly: "Yes." ”

……

Lin Shan's search for Cen Chi is not a matter of a year or two, but the result of persisting for more than ten years is nothing, and now it is rare to encounter clues sent to the door, Chen Jiu only thought that he would definitely look for it carefully. However, Lin Shan's trip only took about half an hour in total, so fast that Chen Jiu couldn't help but feel surprised.

According to some of Lin Shan's old habits that Chen Jiu knew, after inspecting and finding the house where the scholar lived, whether or not he was more sure of his identity, he should have sent one or two capable subordinates to chase him out in the general direction where the scholar left.

But he didn't do that, he just walked around the three rooms and returned to his dwelling without saying a word.

Chen Jiu remembered that the last time he saw him angry was almost half a year ago, because of an incident that happened in the camp in Beida. In the residence, even if he was displeased, he quickly forgot about it. However, Chen Jiu will not forget what it would be like if he was really angry and burned in his heart.

In just half an hour, the new wall of the study in the residence that had been torn down and rebuilt had been repaired to the height of one person. A guard standing on the foot frame laying adobe bricks in the wall saw Lin Shan's return a moment ago, and hurriedly called out.

Everyone turned around, but what they saw was the suppressed love on Lin Shan's face.

Everyone didn't have a reason to be slightly depressed, they had been following Lin Shan's side for a long time, of course they knew what this good gentleman, who did not carry the official title on the face of the imperial court, but actually only needed one step to step into the clouds, would be like when he was really angry.

It's just that they also have the same doubts in their hearts as Chen Jiu: building a wall and repairing the study, they didn't do anything wrong? Even if adults have any anger and have to find a topic to vent, it will definitely not be a matter of rebuilding the study.

But Lin Shan did stand in front of the half-finished study, and everyone could already faintly feel that a certain atmosphere was gradually improving.

Lin Shan let go of the hand that was in his sleeve, but until this time, he still didn't say a word.

However, in the face of a certain emotion in his eyes at the moment, the four guards who were busy building the wall just now who were in full swing as masons felt that the soft and elegant white clouds in the sky seemed to be dyed with lead and suddenly pressed down, blocking people's breathing a little, and their hands naturally couldn't exert much energy.

But why is that? It was fine when you went out just now......

Two guards with brick knives in their hands quietly cast questioning glances at Jiang Chao, who was standing behind Lin Shan's side, and soon they saw Jiang Chao and Shan Liang, who had gone out together, bowing their heads slightly.

At this moment, Lin Shan walked forward, walked into the half-built study, climbed on the tripod on the right side of the door, and landed on half of the wall at a closer distance, and said slowly: "You haven't held a brick knife for almost two years, and your craftsmanship has not fallen at all, and this wall is very well repaired." ”

After receiving praise, the hearts of these wall-building guards hung higher, which was really an inexplicable feeling of apprehension.

The wall-building guard closest to Lin Shan licked his lips, plucked up his courage and couldn't help but ask, "My lord, did we fix something wrong?" ”

This may sound contradictory at first, but none of the rest of his peers who were building the wall with him would feel that way. Building walls is just a beginner's step for masons. A well-built wall can only ensure that there is no air leakage, but to make a room strong and beautiful, and there is much more to learn in it.

Especially after seeing Lin Shan's civil engineering structure, in addition to admiring these wall builders, they also feel that they have learned too little, at least in front of Lin Daren, they are often full of loopholes.

Facing the anxious questions of the guards beside him, Lin Shan's head was not raised for a minute, but he only spoke slowly, and said in a plausible tone: "Are you trying to ask, or have you realized your mistake?" ”

The guard looked slightly stunned. He hesitated for a moment. He gave up figuring it out on his own, bowed his head and said, "My subordinates don't know, please show me what's wrong." ”

"There's nothing wrong with the wall, it's just that it's too thick." Lin Shan stretched out his hand and patted on the half-section of the wall. Stir up dust and fill the air. "Are you guys playing? In this remote town. Only private houses are needed, no fortresses are needed. All pushed and rebuilt! ”

The four wall-builders on the side tripods inside the four walls shuddered.

To tell the truth, they did have some thoughts on building this wall in front of them. I stayed lonely in this remote town for almost three years. I don't know what the reason is, the moment they picked up the brick ash knife, they quickly reached a tacit understanding and decided to "show their hands" to leave some traces of their own unique in this town.

They were best at building small ramparts, but if they built a house with their skill, it would definitely cost several times more plaster bricks.

However, Lin Shan is not angry about saving materials. Rebuilding a study is just a trivial matter if there is a waste of materials several times more. The main reason for his anger was still in the affairs of the inn. The mistake of rebuilding the study on the side of the residence was only a trigger for his anger to explode.

Stepping off the tripod and exiting from the half-finished study, Lin Shan returned to the position where he had stood before, and was silent for a moment before he said calmly: "I commissioned you to rebuild this house, just to prevent this room from leaving traces of me, but you built it into a fortress, do you want to make the most conspicuous mark, so that the Northern Wild Goose scouts have clues to check us?" ”

The guard who lowered his head and asked raised his head when he heard this, a flash of surprise flashed in his eyes, and then he lowered his head again, and a trace of guilt appeared in his eyes.

"It's not such a complicated issue, maybe I didn't order carefully enough, or maybe your comfortable days have been going on for a long time......," Lin Shan breathed a sigh of relief, and walked towards the East Corner Courtyard with his hands behind his back.

Chen Jiu followed him, not knowing what to say, or not saying anything. After a while, when she was about to reach the entrance of the East Corner Courtyard, she heard him murmur softly, "But...... Such a comfortable day will be only one day, and let you be at ease for another day......"

Vaguely hearing this, Chen Jiu finally couldn't help it, and asked softly, "Isn't there still two days left?" ”

Lin Shan didn't even turn his head over, but only responded lightly: "It's a day in advance, it's just a trivial matter." ”

When Chen Jiu heard this, his steps suddenly accelerated, and his shadow flashed, almost stopping in front of Lin Shan. Lin Shan didn't pay attention and almost crashed into her.

"You ......" Lin Shan finally raised his gaze, his expression full of hesitation.

"Is it that if I don't come here today, I won't know about it?" Chen Jiu's gaze pierced into Lin Shan's eyes, this was the first time she had shown this kind of look to him, deep and faintly sharp, "Is it that after you leave this time, you and I will never see each other again in the future?" ”

After she said these two sentences, she lowered her eyes again and murmured: "You said that you will not go back here, nor will you go back to Kyoto, and you will definitely not allow me to accompany you to western Sichuan, so where will you go in the future......" Between the words, a drop of crystal slipped quietly, leaving a wet mark on his face.

"I'm ......" Lin Shan hesitated again, and suddenly felt a pain in his heart.

Only now did he realize that although he had not completely forgotten the shadow in his heart, he couldn't let go of the thin figure beside him...... Now his state of mind is not as decisive as before when dealing with some things that he would subconsciously avoid......

Is that good?

Lin Shan sighed, took out the hand towel he carried with him from his sleeve, and wiped the tears on his cheeks for Chen Jiu.

Putting away the handkerchief, he said softly: "When you are with me, you are always more sad than happy, like me." Is it really worth it? ”

"In the early years, you drank heavily, had a hangover, slept at night, and those habits that were imperceptibly influenced for her...... Have you ever wondered if it's worth it? Chen Jiu didn't answer the rhetorical question, perhaps because she knew that he would leave tomorrow, and realized that if she didn't ask some things at this time, she might not have the opportunity to ask again in the future, so she suddenly had the courage to ask directly.

"I ......," Lin Shan's eyes became complicated, "...... I didn't think about it. ”

Chen Jiu immediately asked, "Why?" ”

Lin Shan replied very seriously: "Because no one has ever asked me that." ”

But Chen Jiu has thought about it, is it worth it that she has loved him silently for so many years, and has been obsessively attached to him for so many years?

Many of her sisters had asked her this question. Someone else asked her that more than once. So she asked herself this more than once...... Is it worth it? She seemed to know, but she couldn't grasp the answer.

This kind of feeling, since the beginning, can not be put on the scale to weigh, continues to this day. It's so complex and heavy that it's priceless.

However. has been just harvesting a moment of tenderness from Lin Shan's side. It also made Chen Jiu feel that the love she paid was as small as thin ice under the sun, so cheap.

——Everything is because there are buyers and cherished people. will appear precious, but often the priceless love of humanity is no exception.

It wasn't until Lin Shan asked this question in person that Chen Jiu seemed to have really obtained a definite answer.

If this is the result of years of dedication, it will undoubtedly make her heart bleed.

But even when the exact answer was in front of her, she became more and more reluctant to accept it. If she is destined not to get this relationship in this life, then she is willing to choose to weave a beautiful lie and anesthetize herself like this.

Faced with Lin Shan's answer that did not belong to her, Chen Jiu was silent for a long time, and then she turned around and silently walked in the direction of the exit of the residence.

It wasn't until she walked far away that Lin Shan seemed to realize something, and suddenly quickened her pace and chased after her.

"Wine ......"

Chen Jiu didn't look back, and still walked forward.

"Wine?"

The pace of aging continues.

"Wine?!"

Chenjiu's footsteps paused slightly, but he soon lifted it again, and his pace was faster than before. She had reached the door of her abode, and without hesitation stepped over the threshold.

However, at the moment when both of her feet stepped out, one of her hands hanging by her side was warmly held. She finally stopped, still not looking back or speaking, but her thin shoulders tensed slightly.

Lin Shan walked around to the opposite side of Chen Jiu, and saw that although she didn't turn around and left, she turned her face aside and refused to look at him.

"Where are you going?" Lin Shan asked.

"Go home." Chen Jiu only said two words, and then picked up the steps and left.

"Where are you going?" Lin Shan followed closely, as if he didn't understand what Chen Jiu had just said, and asked again.

"You're leaving, I won't bother you anymore." Chen Jiu lowered his head slightly, and continued to walk forward quickly, "I will go back to a place where you will never meet again, and there is nothing wrong with living alone......"

Lin Shan didn't speak again, he just silently followed Chen Jiu's side, not knowing that he would follow her all the way there.

Watching this scene, the two guards standing at the gate were dumbfounded.

How had they ever seen their own adults and the wine sisters in their residences who respected everyone in their residences like this...... Is this awkward?

……

The residence where Chen Jiu left, Lin Shan also followed; Chen Jiu returned to the inn, sat for a while and came out again, and Lin Shan followed up; Chen Jiu walked around the town twice in the sandy and sparse suburbs, and Lin Shan kept following behind......

Chen Jiu finally stopped, she stood on a dirt slope, and Lin Shan, who had not yet followed, stood at a distance of about ten steps under the dirt slope.

"Why are you following me?" After walking so far and going around so many circles, Chen Jiu was finally willing to raise his eyes to look at Lin Shan's eyes. Seeing that his face was red and his forehead was wet with sweat, she was not as worried as usual, but said a little irritably: "Don't follow me again." ”

Lin Shan stood at the foot of the dirt slope, looked at Chen Jiu with a slightly stunned expression, and did not speak. In fact, he didn't know what was wrong with him at this time, and subconsciously chased after her, but when he caught up, he was a little speechless.

Just as the two of them were staring silently, there was a faint sound of horses' hooves on one side, mixed with the sound of a leather saddle slapping.

Lin Shan noticed it for a moment and turned his head to look. And he saw three riders with swords and bows on their backs.

The trio were not dressed as soldiers, they had withered grass hair, tied haphazardly behind their heads, and the same messy stubble-like beards that drowned out the thick lip line. The coarse sand grinds out the skin, and there is not much vicissitudes, but the eyes under the eyebrows are more fierce.

The three riders still had ropes, knives, and other things hanging from their saddles, and it was not difficult to tell that they were probably rogues in the vicinity. The three riders were running behind them and following the five runners, carrying slightly rusty iron knives in their hands, and there was a fierce glint in their eyes.

A group of eight people. The origin is not weak.

Lin Shan looked back at the old wine standing condescendingly on the dirt slope. Looking at the look in her eyes, she had obviously judged the identity of the eight uninvited guests.

"Just stay there." Chen Jiu was about to walk down the dirt slope, but was stopped by Lin Shan.

The last time I left the town, I didn't come across the nest of rogues that the townspeople often talked about. I didn't expect to meet by chance today. Lin Shan felt strange in his heart. Although there is no fear of color on the face. But I had to be on guard.

In fact, the rogues will also pay attention to some rules and regulations when they commit crimes and loot, and if there is no news worth looting in advance, they will not be so popular. Three of the eight men rode horses. It takes about one-third of the manpower of a small village to move out of this group of belongings.

But looking at the behavior of this group of eight people, although they were fierce, they did not directly rush into the town with a whip, maybe there was something else for this trip.

Unsure in which direction the group of eight people would go, Lin Shan stood still the moment he found them. Blocking Chen Jiu's move to get closer, Lin Shan turned his gaze and looked at the people with a smooth expression, his perspective shifted slightly, and he stopped at the one with the most lazy expression among the five minions who ran forward.

If they were just passing by, if they really did something unusual, it was obvious that the minion with the most casual expression and the weakest kung fu would be the first to take down.

A group of rogues, either on horseback or running, approached quickly, and the three men on horseback, who were obviously the leaders, also took a closer look at Lin Shan. The three rogue leaders soon recognized that Lin Shan's dress style was obviously not local, but they did not stop for interrogation because of this chance encounter, but only slowed down their pace slightly, and "kicked and tapped" over, rolling up a thin dust on the ground.

Looking at the backs of the eight people walking away, Lin Shan's eyes showed a trace of doubt, fleeting, and then he looked sideways at Chen Jiu, who was squatting on the dirt slope with a defensive face, and said slowly: "They are gone, you come down." ”

Chen Jiu stood up, just took a step forward, suddenly seemed to remember something, retracted his steps, looked at the forest fir down the slope blankly, moved his lips, and stopped talking.

Lin Shan looked at her like this, and soon remembered the inexplicable love that was twisted between each other just now, he was also stunned for a moment, and then smiled with relief. Seeing that Chen Jiu refused to move, he picked up his own steps and walked to her side.

This time, she didn't choose to leave.

"Wine." Lin Shan said softly, "I seem to understand something. ”

He said this very implicitly, but Chen Jiu's heart throbbed, and he vaguely heard what he understood.

However, just as Lin Shan was about to finish the second half of the sentence, something happened abruptly......

Sou!

I don't know when, I don't know from what angle, suddenly an arrow shot out!

The somewhat twisted arrows of the wooden pole flew with a hint of rust, perhaps because the construction was not very good enough, and because the shooting distance was too long, so it was slightly offset when hitting the intended target...... The iron head of the arrow almost scraped the scalp of the old wine, cut the ribbon of her hair, and pried away the silver hairpin of her sideburns......

A green silk was torn apart, Chen Jiu was stunned, and before she came back to her senses, nor did she wait for her long hair raised by the breeze to fall slowly, her whole person was pushed down by a force and rolled down the low slope.

When her body rolled to the ground and stopped, the pain caused Chen Jiu to come back to her senses, and then she heard a whistling sound overhead, and another arrow flew over, and out of the corner of her eye, she saw that the arrow was pierced into the sand a few feet away.

If you don't lie down in time, I wonder if you can avoid the life-killing arrow later?

After dodging the second arrow, Lin Shan quickly pulled her up from the ground, dragged her behind his back, and then turned his head to look in the direction where the arrow was fired.

Although both of them were in pain, this was not the time to rest or ask each other questions. If you just lie on the ground and move slowly, it may be difficult to dodge the next third and fourth arrows.

The eight rogues who just passed. There were two people back, two of the five minions who walked forward.

Looking at the sinister smiles on the faces of these two minions, you don't have to ask to know what they want to do. But the situation in front of him was actually what Lin Shan had expected when he watched the eight people pass by just now, but the two cold arrows were too insidious, and the surprise on Lin Shan's face only paused for a moment, and then he regained his calm.

Lin Shan didn't look at the old wine behind him, but said slowly: "If there is an arrow coming, you just have to protect yourself." ”

Standing a few feet away from each other, the two rogues were armed with bows and arrows, and the angles were so wide that it was impossible to guess exactly which angle their arrows would be aimed at. Chen Jiu will only give one or two punches and kicks in close quarters. Lin Shan would not be relieved to let her stay too far away.

Chen Jiu, who was walking on the side behind him, only responded when he heard this. Didn't say much. Although she didn't know what the basis for such obedience was, in front of the most advanced long-range weapons in the world, she only felt that his back was safe, and she would not question it in the slightest. He will say this. There must already be a countermeasure.

Lin Shan led the wine and slowly approached the two rogues with half-matched bows and arrows. He said slowly: "What are these two heroes? Did the two of us offend the two heroes? ”

The words seemed to be respectful, but the tone in the words was a little cold.

Those two rogues were used to bullying the weak and bullying the few, and they thought that the two arrows just shot past. The two men who were whispering on the dirt slope must have been frightened, and then the man, who seemed to have some signs of illness, ran away a moment, leaving the woman two steps behind, waiting for the two brothers to come forward and pick up the leak......

Unexpectedly, this man was not only not afraid, but also walked over slowly!

This development of events is too different from what I expected, right?

The two rogues couldn't help but be stunned.

But after all, this is not the first time they have done this kind of thing, they have a lot of experience, and they are not too slow to react when they encounter an accident, and the two of them quickly set up their bows and arrows again. When the distance is not closer, the role of these two tools in the hand is still very strong.

When Chen Jiu saw this scene, he couldn't help but say, "Be careful......"

Lin Shan didn't seem to pay attention, but suddenly quickened his pace and strode towards the two minions whose bowstrings were half-opened!

The two rogues were slightly stunned again......

Only this moment, Lin Shan has taken five steps forward!

The two rogues finally came back to their senses, and their eyes were full of fierceness......

Lin Shan's three more steps!

The fingers of the two rogues tightened the bowstring, the green tendons on the back of the hand protruded slightly, the bow bent and the moon was full, and the two arrows were fired at the same time!

Lin Shan did not relax his gaze at the hands of the two rogues on the bowstring on the opposite side as he hurriedly swept forward, only to see that their fingers holding the arrow bundle arched slightly, and his body had also deviated slightly to the right.

The arrow to the left side of his chest and heart flew past his shoulder, and he slashed at a piece of blood-stained clothing with great mensity, but he didn't care at all, and only devoted all his energy to his right hand. The wide-sleeved sleeve rolled up into the sleeve with another arrow shot at his right chest.

The sound of "hissing" clothes tearing was heard, and the cloth was no better than leather armor, and under the cutting force of sharp arrows, the rolled up sleeves were cut into several strips of cloth......

But it didn't matter, because Lin Shan managed to sweep an arrow away from his sleeve.

An inferior arrow is just an arrow in the hands of the rogue, and it needs to be shot with a bowstring. But if such an arrow with a slightly curved rod bone falls into Lin Shan's hands, it will be like a soul hook in Bai Wuchang's hand!

Two indescribable voices came from the other side.

Chen Jiu, who was still two feet away from Lin Shan's back, frowned, she could hear what the voice meant.

From the moment Lin Shan grabbed the arrow, Chen Jiu knew that he had murderous intent, and the result could be imagined.

She hadn't seen him kill in years, and in recent years, the only sight she had seen was him wounded, bleeding, sick. Perhaps the fact that he is killing these two rogues with ill intentions with great speed can prove from a certain angle that he has indeed regained his former state of six or seven points. But despite this, she was not used to hearing the dull sound of a sharp weapon cutting through flesh.

Two bows flew out.

Two men fell straight to the ground.

There were two deep bloody cuts on the dirty necks of these two rogues, and the severance of the white trachea was faintly visible.

For those who intend to kill, Lin Shan has always been extremely ruthless, and he feels that there is no chance to relax. The large blood vessels and trachea in the necks of the two rogues were cut together, and the speed of death was also extremely fast.

Lin Shan didn't want to get his hands on these rogues. He had already let it go once, but they had to find it themselves, and the intention was obviously to go towards the old wine, so it was no wonder that he was ruthless.

Seeing that the threat was lifted, Chen Jiu quickly ran closer, and soon found the arrow wound on Lin Shan's left shoulder, and said anxiously: "It's injured on the shoulder, did you bring medicine?" ”

Lin Shan only glanced at his shoulder injury, and felt that the injury was not too deep, but the blood was overflowing a lot. In a few moments, half of the cloth on the shoulders was wet. He was already feeling a little thirsty, too. Despite this, he didn't care, and only said to Chen Jiu Wenyan: "Civilian clothes come out, and the sleeves are empty." This place should not be stayed for long. Gotta go back quickly. ”

Only two of the eight rogues came. Although they have both been killed by their own hands. But Lin Shan wasn't sure if the other six would come back. He remembered that the group of eight people just now not only brought two bows and arrows, but also that the other party had three horses to travel on their behalf, if they were to kill a horse pistol at this time. Even if he can split into two, he can't protect the old wine.

Besides, he had a crack in his shoulder, and the injury seemed a little strange, and he had to go back to deal with it as much as possible, so as not to delay the injury.

The two were just about to return hand in hand, when suddenly there was a burst of "step, step, step!" The sound of horses' hooves came from far and near, and the other six rogues had returned!

Before the six of them could get closer, they had already seen two accomplices lying on the ground, as well as two large pools of blood, and even a fool could know what this meeting meant.

The first three leaders of the rogue who were riding on horseback were already furious, and one of them opened his eyes and said angrily: "Sure enough, you killed a few of them!" I want your lives to pay for it! ”

Lin Shan noticed the word "several" mentioned in the words of the rogue leader, and his calm face did not change at all, but a trace of doubt floated in his heart. At the same time, he pulled Chen Jiu behind his back again with his backhand, and the hand holding the blood-stained arrow tightened.

Seeing that Lin Shan didn't respond, the rogue people felt more and more that he was acquiescing, and another rogue leader burst out: "Die!" Pulling the reins, he swung his knife and kicked the stirrups and rushed over.

Lin Shan only had an inferior arrow with an iron head and wooden in his hand, which was the opponent of this sword-wielding rider with extremely strong momentum.

But he was still calm, and his spirit was highly condensed.

His eyes were like thorns, he fixed his eyes on a certain point of the horse's front legs, clenched the arrow in his hand, and grasped the rhythm of the galloping horse, about to swing down......

At this moment, the sound of arrows suddenly came from overhead. The sound quality was slightly sharp, but in the opposite direction, and several arrows were actually fired at the Liukou's side.

"Phew!"

"Poof!"

It was the dull sound of a sharp weapon piercing deep into the flesh, except for the leader of the rogue who rushed towards Lin Shan, who was already very close, and the rest of the five rogue who were still three feet away were either dismounted by the strong energy carried by the arrows, and they were not dead or disabled, or they were directly nailed to the ground, twisted twice, and their anger gradually dispersed.

Although the leader of the rogue who rushed to Lin Shan's horse avoided the arrow, the result was not optimistic.

Lin Shan seemed to stumble for a moment, but in fact, he broke a hamstring in the front leg of the rogue leader's mount at an extremely dangerous angle. However, the horse's leg bones were as hard as stone, and with a very fast forward momentum, the only weapon in his hand was discounted at the touch of a single touch, the wooden arrow.

One of the galloping horse's front legs was demobilized, and the horse's body was crooked, and it knelt forward, causing the rogue leader on the horse's back to fall out. The big knife that slashed at Lin Shan's neck was also deflected, cutting off only a strand of his hair.

At this scene, Chen Jiu's heart was beating wildly, and cold sweat was dripping on his back.

If it weren't for the sudden turn of the situation, the next moment she might not care about Lin Shan's advice, and she would have stepped forward desperately to block the knife for him!

Lin Shan's guards arrived in time, and the two crossbows were fired, and the five people were solved in a moment, and the remaining rogue leader who fell off the horse was a matter of making up for the knife.

It was Jiang Chao and two attendants who arrived in time. When he got closer, Jiang Chao also noticed the wound on Lin Shan's shoulder, and hurriedly took out the gold sore medicine he carried with him and applied it to bandage it.

Lin Shan cast his gaze far away, and shouted at the two attendants who were cleaning up the mess: "Leave two alive, and kill all the others, including the horses." ”

The old horse knows the way, in order to avoid future troubles, this horse can not stay.

Although horses are valuable in this deserted place, Lin Shan's party will leave tomorrow, and it is useless to stay.

As for why there are two live mouths, it is to facilitate the comparison of confessions.

……

Although Lin Shan's shoulder injury was treated in a timely manner, on the way back to his residence, Jiang Chao had already seen that this was not a deep wound, and the blood loss rate was a little frightening.

By the time he returned to his residence, the blood on Lin Shan's face had faded, and he was so pale that it was worrying, and his eyes were full of fatigue.

Lin Shan changed into loose clothes and sat in a recliner, and the former imperial physician Wu Xue re-cleaned his wounds, and after bandaging them, he saw that he had fallen asleep with his head tilted.

Wu Ze sighed softly, gave Chen Jiu and Jiang Chao in the house a look, and led the two out of the house to the small courtyard outside.

Wu Ze touched the sparse few strands of beard on his chin, looked at Jiang Chao and asked, "Do you see it?" ”

Jiang Chao didn't speak, just nodded, and a trace of sadness appeared in his eyes......
