Chapter 128: Escape
"Brother Yin, be careful." Facing the murderous bandits, Ran Qiunian's heart hung in the air, although she knew that Xiao Yin's martial arts were strong, but the other party was overwhelming, and she was still a little bottomless in her heart.
Xiao Yin firmly protected Ran Qiunian behind him, and never flinched in the face of the sword. He snatched the long knife from one of the bandits and slashed the man to the ground with his backhand.
The blood-stained long knife seemed to add a few pieces of dry wood to the flames burning in everyone's hearts, and everyone was red-eyed in an instant.
No matter how powerful Xiao Yin is, he is invincible, not to mention that he has to carefully protect Ran Qiunian behind him, and there are always hundreds of bandits in the cottage, all of them are holding long knives made of refined iron, and they rush up as if they don't want to die.
Gradually, Xiao Yin's swinging of the knife was not as relaxed as at the beginning, showing a bit of fatigue. Ran Qiunian didn't know martial arts, and at this time, he couldn't help much, so he could only try not to cause trouble to Xiao Yin and hide behind him.
There were too many bandits, and Xiao Yin's body inevitably began to have injuries, looking at the bleeding wounds, Ran Qiunian's eyes were red in a hurry.
But under such circumstances, Xiao Yin was able to tear a bloody path open, and gradually broke through the encirclement of the bandits with Ran Qiunian who was unscathed.
Until a sharp arrow glowing with silver light broke through the air from behind him and shot fiercely into Xiao Yin's shoulder, he snorted, swung his knife and cut off the last bandit in front of him, covering his wound and staggering two steps.
"Brother Yin!" Ran Qiunian exclaimed in surprise, hurriedly stepped forward to hold the person, turned her head to look at the place where the sharp arrow came from, and the next moment, she desperately blocked in front of Xiao Yin, facing the person who aimed the second sharp arrow here.
"Don't miss it." Xiao Yin grabbed Ran Qiunian's arm and wanted to pull the person behind him, but Ran Qiunian gritted her teeth and stood there, so that Xiao Yin couldn't help her for a while.
Mr. Qing put away the bow and arrow in his hand with a little regret, he hadn't used this thing for too long, and he was really rusty. He didn't care about Xiao Yin's life or death, but Ran Qiu kept it.
Ran Qiunian watched Mr. Qing put away his bow and arrows, and finally breathed a sigh of relief, it seemed that she had made the right bet. After walking through this experience from the moment of life and death, Ran Qiunian felt the cold sweat in the palm of his hand.
Although she was afraid in her heart, as long as she thought that Xiao Yin was seriously injured, and the people here obviously had no intention of sparing his life, she regained her courage, looked at Mr. Qing, and said:
"Mr. Qing, you cultivate beautiful women for your own use, no matter what it is, you have to be willing to use it, if I resist death, or Yang Feng Yin disobeys, do you dare to use such a person?"
"Why bother with each other so hard, it's better to let us go, in the final analysis, we are just meeting in the water, and there is no unsolvable hatred."
Ran Qiunian rambled some nonsense, wanting to delay for a while and give Xiao Yin more time to recover. Mr. Qing didn't know if he saw Ran Qiunian's careful thoughts, he suddenly smiled:
"Peach girl is really naΓ―ve, she entered this cottage, and she still wanted to leave intact, it seems that such a painless punishment as closing the dark room is still not long enough for you."
"Don't worry, as long as you are willing to let us go, we will never tell the things in the cottage. We are just ordinary merchants, we just want to live an ordinary life, and we have no reason or the heart to talk around and provoke ourselves. β
Mr. Qing's words with a smile made Ran Qiunian feel a little furious, but she still stubbornly continued to excuse herself.
"Peach girl, what's the use of you stalling here? It's just a dying struggle, what's more, I smeared poison on the arrow, and the longer you delay, the closer the time of the poison attack will be, but I'm afraid that the one behind you will not be able to stand now, right? β
What the? Ran Qiunian was shocked, and hurriedly turned his head to look at Xiao Yin, and sure enough, he saw that his face was pale and his breath was weak, no wonder he didn't speak, it turned out that he was trying his best to resist the spread of poison.
"Despicable and shameless!" Ran Qiunian scolded Mr. Qing, but Xiao Yin's situation made her dare not delay, the original luck completely dissipated, she gritted her teeth and said, "Take out the antidote, I'll just go with you." β
"Nian'er, no." When Xiao Yin heard Ran Qiu's words of compromise, he hurriedly opened his mouth to block it, and as soon as the words fell, he coughed uncontrollably, the blood from the corner of his mouth slowly flowed, and his color turned black.
Ran Qiunian looked at Xiao Yin with red eyes, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth helplessly, and almost burst into tears.
"What a pair of hard-working mandarin ducks, but why should I agree to your conditions?" Mr. Qing shook his head with a sigh, indifferent to Ran Qiunian's resentful eyes, "When he dies, you still can't escape from the net, sooner or later you will be at my mercy, and this quid pro quo will not be established." β
"Okay, if you don't give the antidote, when Brother Yin dies, I will immediately bite my tongue and kill myself, if you think that a corpse can be used for you, then take it."
Ran Qiunian shouted coldly, his fingers touched Xiao Yin's hand, and it was tightly interlocked with him, and that resolute posture made people look shocked.
Xiao Yin looked down at Ran Qiunian's determined expression, her eyes were complicated, and finally she just touched her hair with her other hand and held the person in her arms.
Mr. Qing saw that Ran Qiunian's expression was resolute, not like a joke, the relaxed smile on his face suddenly faded a lot, he looked at Ran Qiunian coldly for a long time, and finally couldn't let go of her beautiful face, and took out a porcelain bottle from his arms.
"The antidote can be given to you, but you have to stay. Peach girl, is this deal still a good deal? β
Seeing Mr. Qing's compromise, Ran Qiu Nian couldn't care about anything else, so he stretched out his hand and motioned for him to throw the porcelain bottle over: "I have to make sure that this antidote is real first." β
Mr. Qing sneered, threw it casually, and threw the porcelain vase over. Ran Qiunian caught the porcelain bottle, pulled out the stopper, poured it into the palm of his hand, and poured out a few small pills.
Ran Qiunian lowered his eyes and looked at it, took out two pills, and poured the rest back. In front of Mr. Qing, she directly ate one of them, and even Xiao Yin didn't have time to stop it.
Mr. Qing didn't seem to expect Ran Qiunian to be so cautious, he was only surprised for a moment, and soon regained his composure, looking at her with a smile.
Ran Qiunian observed the change in Mr. Qing's expression, and after she took the pill, there was nothing wrong, so she handed the remaining pill to Xiao Yin's mouth with confidence.
Xiao Yin glanced at Ran Qiunian with a complicated expression, lowered his head and took the antidote, his heart was soft.
Ran Qiunian watched Xiao Yin swallow the antidote with a serious face, and then he breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Mr. Qing who was standing with his hands tied.
"Well, I didn't lie to you, did I? Since the antidote is true, Peach Girl should also fulfill your promise and stay obediently, right? β
Ran Qiunian glanced at him, there were still many bandits in the stockade, and the bow and arrow in Mr. Qing's hand were even more powerful, Xiao Yin had just detoxified, and there were still injuries on his body, but he was afraid that he was not an opponent.
Thinking like this, Ran Qiunian gritted her teeth and raised her feet to walk towards Mr. Qing's side.
"Don't go." Xiao Yin took Ran Qiunian's hand behind him, and said in a deep voice, "I still remember how you promised me, when you encounter this kind of scene, protect yourself first, and never risk yourself." I can protect you without compromising with him. β
Xiao Yin's words seemed to evoke memories that had been sleeping for a long time, and Ran Qiunian skimmed over many fragments of memories in his mind for a moment, but before he could piece them together, those memories dissipated with the wind.
She was stunned for a moment, and was stopped by Xiao Yin like this.
"What, is Peach Girl trying to backtrack?" Mr. Qing narrowed his eyes, a little displeased.
As his words fell, the bandits armed with long knives around him flashed their sharp blades and took a threatening step closer.
Ran Qiunian knew in his heart that in this situation, if Xiao Yin insisted on protecting himself, he would inevitably fight with this group of bandits and pay a great price.
With Mr. Qing's dedication to herself, she stayed, firstly, there would be no danger to her life for a moment, but if Xiao Yin insisted on not leaving, there would be only a dead end.
"Brother Yin, you go first, don't worry about me, they won't do anything to me. When you get out, think of saving me, and I'll definitely wait until then. β
Ran Qiunian turned his head sideways and whispered in Xiao Yin's ear, but Xiao Yin's face became more and more difficult to look at, and the strength of holding Ran Qiunian's hand gradually increased, but he was careful not to hurt Ran Qiunian in the slightest.
Xiao Yin's attitude is very resolute, but Ran Qiunian's determination has already been made, for the sake of today's plan, rather than the two of them fold here, it is better to make a trade-off and save his life first.
Ran Qiunian couldn't refuse to break free of Xiao Yin's hand, endured the tears in his eyes, and took a few steps forward.
Xiao Yin's injuries had not healed, and he didn't notice that he was broken free by Ran Qiunian, he reacted immediately, and stretched out his hand to Ran Qiunian, wanting to recapture the person.
In the midst of this lightning and flint, Mr. Qing quickly grabbed the bow and arrow that was set aside, and shot straight at Xiao Yin's chest.
Ran Qiunian's eyes widened, and he immediately reacted that he had been deceived by Mr. Qing, and he had no intention of letting Xiao Yin go from beginning to end.
This sharp arrow came towards Xiao Yin with a powerful force, he was seriously injured at this time, and he put all his attention on Ran Qiunian's body, and he couldn't dodge this poisonous arrow for a while.
Just when Ran Qiunian was in despair, another sharp arrow shot out from the oblique angle, and the arrow shot by Mr. Qing was missed, and the two arrows were entangled and went straight into the grass behind Xiao Yin.
Ran Qiunian breathed a sigh of relief, her back was already soaked in cold sweat, her face turned pale, she turned around, and returned to Xiao Yin's side in three or two.
All of this happened in a very short period of time.
After the arrow landed, a man in black suddenly appeared from the darkness, he covered his face, he couldn't see his face clearly, only to see a few thunderbolts quickly thrown out of his hand, and in the smoke, he whispered to Xiao Yin and Ran Qiunian, who were guarded: "Follow me." β
This voice was extremely familiar, but the situation was urgent, and Xiao Yin didn't have time to think about it, so he gritted his teeth and pulled Ran Qiunian to follow the footsteps of the man in black.
Seeing that Xiao Yin's breath was unstable, obviously seriously injured, the man in black couldn't help but take Ran Qiunian from Xiao Yin's hand, picked him up horizontally, and swept into the depths of the forest in three or two strokes.
Seeing this, Xiao Yin hurriedly picked up his light skills and chased after him, wanting to snatch Ran Qiunian back.
