PS: Wouldn't it be better to divide it into two chapters? I always say I'm a beast.'"

———— the following text————

It was already dark, but Jingnu had no intention of sleeping, lying on the couch and looking at Zhao Yu next to the pillow, listening quietly to his breathing.

It was her young master, and her man.

In the past few days, Zhao Yu has been full of worries, and even she is in a bad mood, and the reason for this is nothing more than the encirclement and suppression of his Black Tiger Village by the newly appointed Yexian County Commander Yang Ding.

Originally, Yang Ding's organization of the five-county coalition army had already made his Black Tiger Village feel like a great enemy, but he never thought that Yang Ding also invited the Yingchuan County Army, which claimed to be 5,000 people, although today's commander Chen Mo concluded that this Yingchuan County Army was only 3,000 people at best, but this was still an invincible enemy.

As a last resort, he sent Wang Qing and Chu Yan to Runan and Xiangcheng respectively, abducted Liu Yi and Wang Yong, and set fire to the yamen.

Even she knew what the consequences would be if the county order was taken away and the yamen was set on fire.

But next to the pillow, he still took risks after all.

It was only because they had been cornered by Yang Ding, and only by showing Yang Ding at the foot of the mountain a kind of pretense madness of 'I am forced to do anything' could it be possible to make Yang Ding throw himself into a rat trap, and then they could gain valuable delay time until the rebel army south of the river counterattacked the north on a large scale.

But will the rebels really launch a counteroffensive this year?

Even if it is a large-scale counteroffensive, can it really break through the garrison along the north bank of the river? You must know that the garrisons on the north bank of the river are all generals of the level of Wang Shangde and Han Yan, and the top young Zhuang generals in the Jin Kingdom.

However, even the young master, who seemed wise and intelligent to her, was not sure at all.

He was just gambling, and in such a desperate situation, he would do everything to fight for the only glimmer of winning.

"Jingnu, the cottage can't be kept, quick, follow me."

On the pillow, he suddenly dreamed.

“……”

Jingnu was stunned, and a sweet and bitter smile appeared on her face.

Sweetly, the young master of her family is worried about her safety even when he dreams.

And the bitter thing is that just through this dream, she knows that the young master of her family is actually not a little sure.

The dim moonlight seeped into the room through the window at the back, illuminating the bed slightly.

With this ray of moonlight, she saw her young master frowning in his sleep.

Seeing distressed, she reached out from the quilt and gently stroked his forehead with a soft palm, hoping to soothe his frowning brows.

"No matter what, I won't leave your ......"

She whispered, as if only she could hear it.

As if in the dark, he also heard this whisper on the pillow, and the wrinkle between his eyebrows gradually subsided.

Jing Nu smiled slightly, and leaned her soft carcass towards him.

Just as she closed her eyes and was about to snuggle up to sleep with her beloved, she suddenly heard the sound of messy footsteps outside the house, as if a group of people were rushing past the house.

She opened her eyes, propped herself up on her elbows, and glanced suspiciously at the window on the side of the door.

She guessed that the one who ran in front of their house just now should be the guards who patrolled the village at night, because today Guo Da issued a 'curfew' order to the village, and no one in the cottage was allowed to go out of their house at night except for the guards on night patrol.

But why are the guards in a hurry?

Could it be that something happened in the cottage?

"Forget it, anyway, there are Yuan Fu and the two of them keeping vigil outside the house, if something really happens, the two of them will shout loudly to report the news."

Thinking of this, she lay down again.

In fact, she also feels quite tired at the moment, because she likes female superiors, and female superiors are very physically demanding.

However, not long after she closed her eyes again, there were suddenly two 'woo' whimpering sounds outside the house, one of which seemed to be from Yuan Fu outside the house.

“……”

Shizunu opened her eyes suddenly, propped herself up on the bed with her elbows again, and looked solemnly at the side of the door.

Immediately, she tore over a blanket over their futon and silently walked to the window by the door, wrapping herself in the blanket in her hand.

After a few steps, she came to the window, and saw her back against the wall, turning her head slightly, silently peeking outside.

With the help of the hazy moonlight outside the house, she vaguely saw a few black shadows dragging something to the side, and when she looked again, she couldn't see Yuan Fu and the others who were on duty tonight.

Seeing this, a strong sense of crisis surged in her heart.

But somehow, the more dangerous it was, the calmer she became, only to see her take the lead in retreating to the bed, gently covering Zhao Yu's mouth with her tender hand, and then pushing him hard.

I don't know if it was a relationship that had been attacked at night, Zhao Yu was also quite alert, Jing Nu pushed him, he immediately woke up, and after waking up, he immediately noticed that Jing Nu was covering his mouth with her hand - if it weren't for special circumstances, Jing Nu would never do this.

And Jingnu also noticed that Zhao Yu had woken up, and said in a low voice: "There are a few people sneaking around outside the house, as if they killed Yuan Fu and the others. ”

Hearing this, Zhao Yu was shocked, and he was still a little sleepy, and he immediately sobered up.

Although he didn't know what was going on, he naturally believed in Shizun.

He raised his hand and gently patted the back of Jingnu's hand covering his mouth, conveying a meaning: I know.

The knowing Jing Nu withdrew her hand, picked up her saber from the couch, and immediately walked barefoot to the door as light and silent as a cat, and stopped five or six paces away from the door, with her back against the wall in ambush.

And here, Zhao Yu, who was only wearing a pair of single pants, also quietly turned over and got off the bed and touched his sword from the side of the bed.

At this moment, only a squeak was heard, and the door slowly opened a line, and then the crack became bigger and bigger.

Seeing this, not only did Jing Nu confirm her guess, but Zhao Yu was also more sure, because at this time, no one would enter without telling him - even Guo Da and Niu Heng, who were closest to him, at least shouted outside the house.

Someone wants to assassinate you!

Zhao Yu and Jing Nu invariably flashed a judgment in their hearts, and almost at the same time, they quietly drew out the sharp sword in their sheaths.

At this moment, the door continued to open slowly, and in an instant, a dark figure cautiously moved sideways to move in.

Then another figure entered the house.

These two black shadows are Cai Jian and Zhang Kun, who came to assassinate Zhou Hu, the leader of the Black Tiger Village.

Probably because the inside of the house was much darker than the outside, Cai Jian and Zhang Yu's eyesight could not adapt for a while, so they neither saw the quiet girl standing against the wall, nor did they notice that Zhao Yu, who was ambushed behind the table in the house, was squinting and cautiously groping forward.

Seeing that one of them was gradually approaching, Jing Nu took the lead in making a move, only to see her calculate the distance, quickly swing the sword she had deliberately hidden behind her, and swung the sword at the throat of the comer.

Looking at the position she was aiming at, it was not difficult to guess that she had no intention of showing mercy.

But the regretful person, the black shadow, that is, Cai Jian, instinctively tilted his head back under the threat from the shadows, and narrowly dodged the sword of Jingnu.

"Shh

Seeing that she missed the blow, Jingnu snorted unhappily.

At this time, Cai Jian and Zhang Yu finally saw the person who ambushed them, a beautiful woman wrapped in a thin blanket.

Woman?

Who is she?

Isn't this Zhou Hu's residence? Could it be that Zhou Hu was actually a woman?

For a while, Cai Jian and Zhang Xuan were also a little distracted.

The two of them were distracted, but Jingnu was not distracted, and after only a breath of miss, she attacked again, and the sword in her hand stabbed towards Cai Jian's face.

Cai Jian was startled, and flicked away the sword stabbed by Jing Nu with a bang, and the whole person flashed to the side, just facing away from Zhao Yu.

Zhao Yu naturally would not let go of this opportunity.

Hearing a pop, the sword in Zhao Yu's hand pierced Cai Jian's right waist, and he went in and out.

Cai Jian never expected that there was still an ambush in the house, and he was successfully attacked by Zhao Yu, and immediately spit out a mouthful of blood.

"Zhou ...... Tiger ......"

With blood dripping from the corners of his mouth, he turned his head to look at the figure behind him who was no taller than him.

At this time, he secretly scolded himself for being stupid.

After all, he had heard Zhou Hu's voice, and that voice didn't seem like a woman could come out at all, since this room was Zhou Hu's residence, and that woman was not Zhou Hu, then there was only one answer left: there was still one person in the house!

But it's too late to regret at this moment, and how to save your life is the top priority!

When his life was at stake, Cai Jian took a deep breath, endured the severe pain and waved his arm, and slammed his elbow into the person behind him.

Sensing the wind, Zhao Yu raised his hand to block it, stepped back, and even pulled out the sword that pierced Cai Jian's right waist.

Cai Jian screamed, holding a sword in his left hand, covering the wound with his right hand, staggering, and took a few steps towards the door with difficulty.

Zhao Yu and Jing Nu let their assassins run away, and immediately stepped forward.

"Big brother!"

Zhang Xuan exclaimed in surprise, hurriedly rushed to Cai Jian's side in a few steps, and struggled to swing his sword to force back Zhao Yu and Jingnu, and at the same time asked eagerly: "Big brother, are you okay?" ”

"I can't die yet." Cai Jian replied with blood dripping from the corner of his mouth.

At this moment, his mood is probably a dog, obviously he came to stab Zhou Hu, but he was stabbed through the waist by Zhou Hu with a sword.

"This dog man and woman!"

Secretly scolding in his heart, Cai Jian shouted from the window: "Ah Shan, Ah Wei, come in, let's kill them together!" ”

The two companions outside the house, Ah Shan and Ah Wei, heard the call of the eldest brother Cai Jian, and without hesitation, they immediately rushed into the house with swords.

Counting Cai Jian, who was seriously injured, the four of them faced Zhao Yu and Jingnu, and jingled in the house.

It stands to reason that four people must have an absolute advantage over two people, even if one of the four people is seriously injured.

But who would have thought that in just a few moves, Jingnu would stab through the heart of that Ah Yan with a sword.

"Good...... Hurry up ......"

The former black tiger thief named Ah Wei looked at the beautiful woman in front of him in disbelief, and he tilted his head and died.

"Uhhh

The sword was drawn and the body fell to the ground.

Not to mention that Cai Jian, Zhang Kun, and Ah Shan were stunned, and even Zhao Yu was stunned.

Even Zhao Yu didn't expect that Jing Nu's current swordsmanship was so exquisite, and ...... Extremely ruthless!

“……”

He turned his head to look at Jing Nu, but was surprised to see a cold glint in Jing Nu's eyes.

At this time, Jing Nu shot again, and the sword in her hand slashed at Zhang Kun, who hurriedly raised her sword to resist, but never thought that Jing Nu's sword swing was just a false move, and after deceiving Zhang Kun, she saw the sword in her hand slash through an arc like a curved silver snake, and Ping Ping cut a cut on Zhang Kun's waist.

Suddenly, Zhang Xuan felt a chill in his waist and abdomen, and then there were bursts of tingling pain.

"This woman's movements are really fast!"

Zhang Hong's heart trembled.

He had never met a woman with such superb swordsmanship, let alone a woman who had killed his companion Ah Yan without even blinking an eye.

"Bell, bell, bell."

Jing Nu swung her sword again and again, and the interval between each sword was extremely short, so that Zhang Xuan had no time to counterattack, so she could only passively block it with her sword, trying to use the power of the counterattack to make the woman in front of her weaker - after all, a woman's strength is always inferior to that of a man, and besides, she looks very young in the face of that woman, and she should not be very old.

I have to say that Zhang Kun's thinking is still correct, but he underestimated Jing Nu's wisdom in swordsmanship.

Seeing Zhang Kun lifting his sword to defend the upper part of his body, Jingnu suddenly changed her split to a pick, and the tip of the sword picked Zhang Kun's sword.

Zhang Xuan naturally would not let the sword in his hand be picked up by Jingnu, and subconsciously clenched the hilt of the sword, and this move inevitably made his right hand raise a lot higher, causing the middle door to open wide.

At this time, Jing Nu's hand also held the sword high, if she collected the sword and attacked again, then Zhang Kun may not have time to stop resisting, realizing this, Jing Nu did not give the other party the slightest chance to recruit, her bare feet stepped on the ground, and the whole person stepped forward, and a knee hit Zhang Kun's lower body.

"Ahh

The lower body was hit hard, Zhang Xuan screamed, and subconsciously covered his lower body and curled up, and at this moment, Jingnu slashed at his neck with a sword.

"Poof—"

Blood splattered, Zhang Kun screamed and fell to the ground, covering his neck with one hand and his lower body with the other, and the severe pain in both places made him temporarily lose his combat effectiveness.

However, Jing Nu also paid the price for this, the action of lifting her legs and knees made the thin blanket she wrapped in her body slide down, although she had grabbed the thin blanket for the first time, and even slashed a sword at Zhang Kun's neck in the gap between retreating, but the shame of exposing her body made her temporarily give up the plan to make up for Zhang Kun, the whole person took a few steps back, pinched the thin blanket with both hands and shook it, and then quickly wrapped it around her body again.

After only twenty or thirty rests, one person died, one person was seriously injured, and he was unharmed.

Zhao Yu, who was fighting with Ah Shan, noticed Jingnu's record, and was surprised and embarrassed, after all, he had only hit one hard so far.

Obviously, Zhao Yu was not the only one who noticed this, but the former black tiger thief named Ah Zhi also noticed it.

Seeing that his companion Ah Wei was killed, Cai Jian and Zhang Yu were seriously injured one after another, leaving him alone unharmed for the time being, and on the other side, Zhou Hu and the powerful woman who fought with him were all fine......

"Big brother, withdraw it."

Ah Shan's panicked shouting at Cai Jian.

In fact, Cai Jian was really panicked in his heart at this moment, he didn't expect that Zhou Hu's woman's swordsmanship was so powerful, and his two brothers would be abolished in a few blinks of an eye.

But at this point, he can only let it go.

Escape?

He and Zhang Kun dragged their seriously injured bodies, how could they escape alive?

For today's plan, only by subduing Zhou Hu can there be hope of survival!

Thinking of this, he gritted his teeth, supported his seriously injured body, walked to his companion Ah Shan, and said in a deep voice: "Zhang Xuan only has one breath left, and I am seriously injured, it is impossible to escape, only by subduing Zhou Hu now, can we have hope of living!" …… Brother, it's up to you. ”

“……”

Ah Shan's heart was beating in horror when he heard it, and when he came back to his senses, Jingnu had wrapped her carcass in a thin blanket, and slowly walked to Zhao Yu's side, staring at him murderously with those eyes that seemed to look cold.

"Goo."

Ah Shant swallowed, took a half step back, and glanced at the half-hidden door.

He is not stupid, knowing that he can't be the opponent of Zhou Hu and the woman, how could he stay and die with Cai Jian and Zhang Xuan?

At this time, Niu Heng's eager shout came from outside the house: "Ah Hu! Ah Jing! What's wrong with you guys?! ”

As he spoke, there was a jumble of footsteps, apparently many people running towards him.

"Brother Niu, there are assassins!"

Jingnu immediately shouted.

Seeing this, Ah Shan no longer hesitated, and whispered to Cai Jian: "Big brother, brother can't help it. ”

With that, he turned and rushed to the door.

Rushing out of the house, Ah Shan immediately saw a group of people holding torches rushing towards this side, and the first person was Niu Heng, who was extremely burly.

"Ahh

He shouted and rushed over with all his might, brandishing his sword, trying to force his way out.

However, the next moment, he was grabbed by the throat by a strong hand, and the whole person was lifted.

"Woo, woo."

Held in the air by the neck, Ah Shan struggled hard, not only kicked his legs, but also picked at the hand with his hand, but the hand was like an iron hoop, pinching him.

Looking at the owner of the hand and looking at Niu Heng's gloomy face, Ah Heng understood at this time that Niu Heng was called the 'No. 1 reckless general' in the village, and even the commander Chen Mo didn't want to provoke him, which was not unreasonable.

"Click!"

The angry Niu Heng used force in his hand, directly pinching Ah Shan's spine into several broken bones, and immediately, he threw the corpse in his hand aside as if he was throwing a piece of linen.

At this time, a group of black tigers who followed Niu Heng had already rushed to the door of the house, but the door was closed by Cai Jian.

Pity this Cai Jian, there are Zhao Yu and Jingnu in front of him, and Niu Heng and a group of black tigers behind him, and it is difficult to escape from it.

Seeing this situation, Zhao Yu felt that the crisis had been lifted, so he took out the mask from the cabinet next to the bed and put it on, lit the oil lamp on the cabinet, walked to the table and sat down with the oil lamp, looked at Cai Jian who was in a dilemma in the corner of the side of the door, and asked lightly: "Are you from the village?" Why did you stab me? Is there anything wrong with me, Zhou Hu? ”

As he spoke, Jing Nu stood quietly beside him with a sword in hand.

By the light of the oil lamp, her beautiful face was in full view, but it was a pity that there were a few spots of blood on her pretty face, so that it looked very disagreeable.

Hearing Zhao Yu's inquiry, Cai Jian laughed miserably, he knew that he was going to die today, and instead of falling into the hands of Zhou Hu on the opposite side and being tortured, it was better to raise his sword and kill himself.

But when he lifted the sword, he hesitated again.

And at this moment, Niu Heng asked with a little anger and eagerness from outside the house: "Ah Hu? Ah Jing? Are you alright? ”

Before Zhao Yu or Jingnu could speak, the Black Tigers who had already taken the lead in peeking into the room at the window found that the two of them were safe and sound, and replied first: "Boss, the big leader seems to be fine. ”

"Good!"

Niu Heng breathed a sigh of relief, and immediately shouted into the house: "Ah Hu, Ah Jing, you guys stay back." ”

Before Zhao Yu and Jingnu could react, they only heard a loud bang, and the wooden door was completely smashed to pieces by Niu Heng, and this powerful brute force, Cai Jian, who was close at hand, was immediately dumbfounded.

When he came back to his senses, Niu Heng had already walked into the house, and he, who was burly, looked down condescendingly at Cai Jian, who was not yet his shoulder height, with an unkind expression.

It was as if the herbivore saw the dangerous carnivorous large beast, and the instinctive overreaction made Cai Jian subconsciously swing the sword in his left hand and slash at Niu Heng.

However, just by hearing the snap, Niu Heng's big palm grabbed Cai Jian's wrist.

I saw Niu Heng squeezing it vigorously, and immediately saw Cai Jian's wrist hanging down softly.

"Ah——!h

Cai Jian screamed, and with only one sound, the scream stopped abruptly, because Niu Heng's broad palm had already grabbed his face.

Seeing this, Zhao Yu hurriedly shouted: "Don't kill ......"

Before the words fell, he saw Niu Heng roar, and his right arm exerted all his strength, pressing Cai Jian's face door and slamming it all against the wall.

With a bang, the back of Cai Jian's head slammed into the wall, and the force of the impact caused Cai Jian's head to go straight through the broken wooden wall.

With this kind of monster-like strength, that person obviously can't survive.

“……”

Putting down the right hand that raised to dissuade, Zhao Yu explained speechlessly: "Ask first, it's not too late to kill." ”

Obviously, Niu Heng had vented his anger at this time, raised his eyebrows, and reached out to scratch his head: "Oh, I didn't expect it for a while." ”

“……”

Zhao Yu shook his head speechlessly.

At this time, he suddenly noticed the quiet girl standing beside him.

Thinking back to Fang Cai's various things, he asked with concern, "Jingnu, are you okay?" ”

Different from Zhao Yu's prediction, Jingnu shook her head with a smile and said calmly, "Young Master, I'm fine." ”

Looking at Jing Nu's calm and beautiful face, and then looking at the blood on her cheeks, Zhao Yu suddenly felt inexplicably disobedient and unbearable, stood up, and gently wiped the blood off Jing Nu's face with his hand.

When Zhao Yu's hand wiped the blood from his face, a trace of discoloration flashed in Jingnu's eyes, and she said meaninglessly: "Young master, I'm ...... Murder again......"

Afraid that Jing Nu would feel guilty about this, Zhao Yu said with a straight face: "No, you are here to protect me." ”

"Yes......"

A few sweet smiles appeared on Jing Nu's pretty face, which was still stained with a thin layer of blood.

She practiced swordsmanship every day for two years, rain or shine, just to prevent the danger of that night from happening again and protect the young master in front of her.

For his sake, she is willing to stain her hands with blood, and will try to harm his people, as well as his enemies......

Kill them all!
