Chapter 73: The Three Assassins
Fleeing all the way to Xiuning County, Hong Qingchao was afraid that the night would be long and dreamy, and there would be branches, so he was about to end Lu Yuan.
The three of them stopped by a small river, and after Hong Qingchao dismounted, he threw Lu Yuan on the ground casually, and he was about to do it.
"Big brother, you wait first, I'll go get water and wake him up!" Hong Muchi shouted.
"It's just over, what are you doing to wake him up?" Hong Qingchao frowned.
"The third child likes to listen to the begging for mercy of these officials before they die, big brother, let him play!" Hong Jinbo said with a smile.
"Then you move quickly." Hong Qingchao urged.
Hong Muchi laughed and went to fetch water.
Hong Jinbo has little interest in torturing people, but is lustful, and when he looks at the beauty in his arms, he sees her beautiful eyes looking at him gently.
Hong Jinbo was stunned, no woman had ever looked at herself so gently, and couldn't help but kiss her.
Suddenly, he found that there were tears flowing out of the other party's eyes, and he panicked, and hurriedly solved Sun Shaoqing's acupoint, saying, "Don't cry, beauty, what is there to tell your brother." ”
At this time, Hong Muchi had already taken water and splashed it on Lu Yuan's face, he suddenly came to his senses, looked left and right, and saw two strange people with hair looking at him coldly, and a strange man holding Sun Shaoqing.
"Who are you? Let her go. Lu Yuan was shocked and suspicious.
Hong Jinbo was furious, came over with an arrow, kicked Lu Yuan, and shouted: "Death is on the verge of death, and he is still a good man in front of Lao Tzu, I really don't know whether to live or die." ”
Sun Shaoqing was in a hurry, and he couldn't wait to pull out the golden hairpin on his head and stab this evil man to death.
But after thinking about it, not only would he die, but he would not be able to save Lu Gongzi, so he hooked his hands on Hong Jinbo's head and said softly: "Brother, this Lu Gongzi is my friend, can you let him go?" ”
Hong Jinbo listened to her soft words and begged, only to feel fascinated, and blurted out: "Big brother, spare this kid." ”
"Bastard, are you crazy? Spare him, what will you do with five hundred taels of gold? Hong Qingchao was furious.
After hearing the five hundred taels of gold, Hong Jinbo sobered up a little and said with a smile: "Beauty, I'm sorry, this kid has to die." ”
"Is gold more important to you than me?" Sun Shaoqing said quietly.
Hong Jinbo saw her resentful eyes, and his heart fluttered.
It's not that he hasn't seen women before, it's just that the women who were raped by him are far inferior to Sun Shaoqing, and no one has ever begged her so softly to him, and he can't help but want to agree for a while.
Just as he hesitated, he heard a noisy voice ringing in his ears:
"Shaoqing, in order to save me, Lu Yuan is grateful for your hard work. Actually, I didn't mean anything to you, but I had an agreement with someone first, so I didn't promise you, I can live and die with you today, and Lu Yuan will die without regrets. ”
The person who spoke was Lu Yuan, he watched coldly, he had already seen Sun Shaoqing's hard work, she was so wronged for herself, how could she bear to let her be wronged again, it was better to die with her.
Hearing these words, Sun Shaoqing was so happy, tears couldn't help but flow out again, only to feel that with Lu Yuan by his side, there was nothing to be afraid of.
"I'm the same, I can live and die with Lu Gongzi, although I have no regrets when I die."
"Beauty, what are you?" Hong Jinbo said.
Suddenly, his neck hurt, but fortunately, he reacted very quickly, and as soon as he felt the pain, his head flashed back, only to feel a hot pain in his neck, as if he had been cut by something sharp.
He threw Sun Shaoqing on the ground, touched his neck, his hands were full of blood, and suddenly aroused his fierce nature: "You are so bold!" ”
Sun Shaoqing ignored him, her body was quite flexible, she supported herself on the ground with one hand, landed on her legs diagonally, stood up and ran towards Lu Yuan.
Hong Qingchao sneered, and did not stop it, although this woman had some fists and legs, she could never escape from his palm, and she had the heart to take this opportunity to change her second brother's lustful problem.
"Second brother, you were dumped by others." Hong Muchi said with a grin.
"Lu Gongzi." Sun Shaoqing pounced on Lu Yuan and buried his head in his chest.
After this incident, Lu Yuan felt very sorry for her, and thought that he was about to die, so he no longer suppressed his feelings and hugged her tightly in his arms.
"Second brother, women love pretty, this is a truth that can't be changed, let's still end them and take the money, are you afraid that there will be no women when you go to the Qinglou?" Hong Qingchao said slowly.
"I'm going to her in front of this kid and crush her throat with my own hands!" Hong Jinbo roared.
"Hong Lao Er, with your respectful appearance, I'm afraid that only blind people can look at you!" Suddenly, a voice came from afar.
Hong Qingchao reacted the fastest, pulled out his scimitar and turned his head to look, only to see a man and a woman walking over slowly, it was the couple who "hooked the soul and killed their lives", and it was Xue Bihua who spoke out just now!
Hong Qingchao secretly shouted that it was not good, now that the third brother was injured, the chances of the three of them winning were very small, and he began to think of countermeasures.
"You two cowards, didn't you run away? What are you doing here again? Hong Jinbo's eyes breathed fire.
"We have been secretly following you for a long time, and I am afraid that these five hundred gold will not fall into the hands of your brothers!" Xue Bihua said with a cold expression.
"My brother can't speak, don't be angry, why don't we divide the five hundred taels of gold equally?" Hong Qingchao arched his hand.
"Hahaha, the five hundred taels of gold in hand, the old lady is not so stupid, and she will give half to others!" Xue Bihua laughed loudly, her voice was indescribably sharp and harsh.
"Then you can try it!" At this point, Hong Qingchao knew that it was useless to say more, so he drew his knife and slashed at Xue Bihua!
Hong Jinbo and Hong Muchi also attacked Zhang Quan, hoping to kill him first, and then help the eldest brother!
"Master Lu, let's take the opportunity to escape!" Seeing the two gangs fighting, Sun Shaoqing whispered.
Lu Yuan watched them fight, shook his head and said:
"Don't look at them fighting together, if we move, they will immediately find out, maybe they will point to our acupoints, it's better to wait and see what happens."
Sun Shaoqing felt that it was reasonable, and lay in Lu Yuan's arms, although the surrounding situation was still dangerous, he had no fear in his heart.
Hong Qingchao and Xue Bihua both use knives, but Xue Bihua is known as the soul hooking knife, and the knife technique has been guided by a famous teacher, and he is much more clever than the other party, and Hong Qingchao gradually fell into a disadvantage.
However, he uses a scimitar, which has an advantage in defense, and coupled with long-term practice of closed qigong, his staying power is extremely strong, and he will not be defeated for a while.
On the other side, Hong Lao Er and Hong Lao San both fought Zhang Quan, Zhang Quan's martial arts were comparable to Hong Qingchao, if Hong Muchi was not injured, the two could have been able to fight each other, but now it is very dangerous.
Hong Qingchao secretly complained, if he continued to fight, the three brothers would probably have to explain here, but where could he think of a good way for a while.
Suddenly, Xue Bihua slashed at him three times, Hong Qingchao didn't dare to take it hard, and took a few steps back, but Xue Bihua turned around and attacked Hong Jinbo and the others.
"Second brother, third brother, be careful!"
It's a pity that the two of them are already at a disadvantage, even if they hear it, they still can't dodge, Hong Jinbo was slashed in the chest by Xue Bihua, and he doesn't know if he lives or dies.
Hong Muchi blocked her sword, the scimitar was shaken away, and Zhang Quan's sword that followed closely was cold, shook on the ground a few times, and swallowed his last breath.
Hong Qingchao didn't hesitate, turned around and fled.
Xue Bihua laughed and was about to attack Hong Qingchao's back, but Hong Jinbo, who was lying on the ground, suddenly stood up and rushed behind her, Xue Bihua turned around and slashed off one of his arms, and kicked him in the chest.
Xue Bihua, nicknamed the Soul Hook Knife, naturally refused to let go of the living mouth, and said: "Wood, I'll go after him, you look at these two people, cut off their feet first, lest they escape!" ”
said a few vertical leaps and chased in the direction of Hong Qingchao's escape.
Seeing that the two strange men with hair died here in a blink of an eye, and the wooden man approached the two of them with his sword, Lu Yuan's head turned sharply, thinking of a way to deal with it.
Sun Shaoqing suddenly ran to Hong Muchi's side, picked up his scimitar and attacked Zhang Quan, but the two fought only one move, Sun Shaoqing's scimitar was knocked away, Zhang Quan held Sun Shaoqing's throat with one hand, lifted her up, and seemed to really plan to cut off her legs.
"If you kill us, we should be buried with your wife!" Lu Yuan hurriedly said.
"What burial?" Zhang Quan was stunned.
"Do you know why the three of them are here to kill us?" Lu Yuan saw that he had stopped, and he was relieved in his heart and asked.
Zhang Quan shook his head.
"When they were riding horses just now, I heard from the three brothers that before they came to kill me, they set a trap on a nearby hillside early in order to prevent them from being pursued by the fast trappers, and now Hong Qingchao is probably taking your wife to the trap!"
"Trap?" Zhang Quan exclaimed.
"Yes, what are you talking about, right now your wife may have fallen into a pit with her legs, which is full of sharpened bamboo, Hong Qingchao's two brothers were killed by you, he may be torturing your wife right now, why don't you save her?"
