Chapter 8: The Hunt
The sudden pain made the strong man involuntarily let go of the long knife in his hand, and the moment the long knife slipped down, a blood line flew out of his palm and sprinkled on the silver spear that Zhang Yufu happened to stab with his backhand.
With a "poof", the head of the gun plunged into the flesh, and before the strong man could even make a sound, his eyes widened and he fell to the ground in surprise.
"Wow!" "Wow!" "Wow!"
Arrows continued to be shot, but in just a few moments, all the few strong men left around Zhang Yufu were eliminated.
When the blade of the arrow with the wind flew towards the last strong man who was still alive, Zhang Yufu gritted his teeth and waved the silver spear in his hand to block the arrow.
The strong man who narrowly escaped death gasped for breath and turned around to leave.
But before he could escape three feet away, he was kicked back by a red figure falling from the sky.
In the next moment, the strong man only felt a flower in front of him, and the red figure suddenly came to him, and a dagger with cold light was pressing against his neck. With just one stroke, he could die in no time.
"How long has it been since you made yourself look like this?" Ruan Ning, who was dressed in red, raised his head and looked at Zhang Yufu with disdain.
Seeing that Zhang Yufu's face was as pale as paper, her feet were swaying lightly, and her abdomen was still bleeding, she instantly changed her face and shouted, "Longbow!" ”
The longbow hidden in the shadows came over, grabbed the strong man on the ground, and imprisoned him.
Ruan Ning quickly reached out and took out a porcelain bottle from the leather pouch on his waist, strode in front of Zhang Yufu, and poured the medicinal powder in the porcelain bottle on Zhang Yufu's still bleeding wound regardless of it.
"Hiss......"
The stimulation of the medicinal powder made Zhang Yufu gasp, and he was about to open his mouth to say that his injury was fine, but looking at Ruan Ning's somewhat angry eyes, he pursed his lips, and the words he was about to say changed direction, "Fairy, you don't stay in your Qingfeng Village, what are you doing in this Xicheng?" Don't you know that the Xicheng government has posted a notice to want these bandits from your Qingfeng Village? ”
After hastily bandaging Zhang Yu's wound, Ruan Ning raised his head, glared at him angrily, and said angrily, "You are poor!" If Longbow and I were half a step late, you stinky flower would have to give an account of it today! ”
Zhang Yufu raised his hand and touched the tip of his nose, and said with a smile, "There is a fairy you remember, how can I easily explain?" ”
Ruan Ning didn't bother to talk to him, glanced at the strong man who was caught by the longbow, and asked, "What are you going to do with this person?" ”
Hearing this, Zhang Yufu put away the silver spear in his hand and walked towards the strong man with a slightly gloomy face.
When he got closer, he stared into the eyes of the strong man and asked in a deep voice, "Who sent you?" ”
Although the strong man fell into the hands of Zhang Yu's servants and the three, he didn't mean to be soft at all, and when he heard this, he immediately smiled and said, "Boy, who have you offended, don't you know yourself?" Lao Tzu tells you, even if you kill me today, you won't be able to get out of this Xicheng! ”
"You ......" Ruan Ning looked at the strong man's arrogant appearance, and couldn't help but make a move.
Zhang Yufu on the side stretched out his hand to stop it, looked at the strong man, and smiled lazily without care, "Can't get out of this West City?" Who said I was leaving? ”
After saying that, Zhang Yufu raised his hand and twisted it at the strong man's neck. With just a "click", the strong man's body slipped from the longbow's hand like a puddle of mud and collapsed to the ground.
"This matter has nothing to do with you, it's better to leave as soon as possible." Dealing with the strong man, Zhang Yufu turned to Ruan Ning and Longbow and said.
Ruan Ning smiled with disdain, "We all made a move, we can be regarded as accomplices, why is it irrelevant?" ”
Zhang Yufu frowned, looked directly into Ruan Ning's eyes, opened his mouth, and was about to say something, but was interrupted by Ruan Ning.
I only heard Ruan Ning say with a straight face, "Today's incident, eighty percent of it is because of Old Man Hassan's dart, either it is the revenge of the people of the He Lou family, or it is related to the big dog official Zhao Shizhu." In any case, our people in Qingfeng Village are also inseparable. Besides, you have been classified into our Qingfeng Village, and now that you are suffering, how can I, the big boss, sit idly by? ”
Seeing the shallow smile in Ruan Ning's eyes, and then looking back at Longbow's expressionless face, Zhang Yufu shrugged helplessly and said, "That's it, let's get out of here first." ”
Just as he was about to leave, Zhang Yufu suddenly paused and said, "Wait a minute." ”
Ruan Ning and Longbow were slightly stunned, turned their heads to look, and saw Zhang Yufu enter the room where the windows and doors had been destroyed by random arrows, and bent down to pick up something from the ground.
Walking forward, watching Zhang Yufu carefully clean up the dusty portrait in the corner, gently roll it up, and put it into the bamboo tube, Ruan Ning asked with some curiosity, "Who is this?" ”
Zhang Yufu's eyes showed a mixture of worry and longing, and after a pause, he said, "An old man." ”
"You're being calculated just to find her?" For some reason, Ruan Ning felt a trace of resentment in his heart, and his tone of voice was also a little rushed.
Zhang Yufu shook his head and said, "I'm here to find Mochi. ”
"What are you looking for Moki?" Ruan Ning frowned.
Zhang Yufu pursed his lips and said, "I have something to ask for." ”
"You're crazy! The people who asked Mochi to do something, which one did not pay a huge price. Who do you think you are, begging him? How can you ......" Ruan Ning said with disapproval in her eyes, and before she could finish speaking, she was interrupted by Zhang Yu's servant on the side in a deep voice.
I only heard Zhang Yufu resolutely say, "No matter what the price is, I don't care." ”
Looking at his expression, Ruan Ning sighed and held back all the words he wanted to say.
Then, the three of them did not hesitate and walked quickly towards the outside of the house.
But as soon as the three of them poked their heads out of the courtyard wall of the house, a dozen bows and arrows were shot from the shadows.
Ruan Ning and Zhang Yufu each waved their weapons to resist the random arrows, and the longbow took advantage of this short moment to draw the bow and tie the string, aiming at the direction where the arrow was fired.
With the sound of "whoosh" and "whoosh" breaking through the sky, several screams came from the shadows.
"Follow me!" After getting the vacancy, Ruan Ning jumped and retreated towards the east with Zhang Yu's servants.
After the longbow broke, he used the arrows in his hand to eliminate a few pursuers before he followed.
There were no people in this area, and there was no obstacle for the three of them to run, and they ran out of two alleys in a short time.
But the pursuers behind them bit them to death, and they followed closely all the time, and from time to time they also sent out signals to inform those who were ambushed elsewhere to surround in front of the three of them.
After a quarter of an hour of escaping through the streets and alleys, the three of them were not caught up by the pursuers, but they were all colored. The wound on Zhang Yufu's abdomen, although Ruan Ning spit out gold sore medicine and bandaged it simply, but after running for so long, the blood overflowed again, washing away a lot of the medicine powder.
Seeing that Zhang Yufu's face was getting paler and paler, and there were more and more chasing soldiers coming out from everywhere, Ruan Ning gritted his teeth and said coldly, "Go to the northwest and go back to the alley!" ”
Hearing this, Longbow's expressionless face finally made some waves. Looking at the pursuers and servants behind him, he pursed his lips and cleared the ambush in the northwest with the bow and arrow in his hand, making a way for the three of them.
The three of them fled all the way to the northwest, and from time to time they reached the most lively center of Xicheng. Looking at the three people covered in blood and the chasing soldiers who kept pouring out behind them, the others all hid in the nearest shop, for fear of setting themselves on fire.
"Stop them, don't let them go back to the alley!" Looking at the escape route of the three people, someone guessed where they were and immediately shouted loudly.
In an instant, the ambush soldiers who surrounded and intercepted the three of them became more and more numerous, and the bows and arrows that came from all corners were also dense.
The two fists were invincible to the four people, and the three of them were under such a ferocious siege, and the injuries on their bodies became more and more numerous.
During the escape, a five- or six-year-old child did not have time to hide with his parents, and was about to be killed by a random arrow through his heart. Zhang Yufu gritted his teeth, turned over, and protected the child in front of him.
Although the child was saved, the arrow that could have killed him pierced Zhang Yufu's back.
Seeing this, the longbow quickly pulled the bow and tied the string, covering Zhang Yufu and the child.
Ruan Ningfei stepped forward and delivered the child to the frightened parents who rushed over. Looking down at Zhang Yufu, who was half-kneeling on the ground, he asked with some concern, "How are you?" ”
Zhang Yufu shook his head, gritted his teeth and said, "It's okay, let's go!" ”
Ruan Ning helped Zhang Yufu up, and under the cover of the longbow, he continued to walk towards the direction of Huitou Alley with a cold face.
After half a cup of tea, the three of them, covered in blood, finally arrived at the entrance of Huitou Alley.
Looking at the huge three big words "Huitou Alley" in front of him, Ruan Ning took a deep breath, and walked in with Zhang Yufu.
The pursuers who followed saw the three of them enter Huitou Alley, and they all looked angry and ruined. Standing at the entrance of the alley and watching for a long time, a person who looked like a general had a calm face, and commanded with anger, "Go and inform Lord Zhao and the head of the He Lou family!" ”
At the sound of an order, someone immediately went to the direction of the government office. The rest of the people were scattered and guarded every corner of Huitou Lane.
This Huitou Lane is a special area in Xicheng, and the people in it are not easy for even the government to interfere. Now the person they want to arrest is hiding inside, and unless a powerful person goes to negotiate, no matter who it is, he can only stand guard outside.
From the moment they entered Huitou Alley, there were countless pairs of eyes around them to probe them openly and secretly.
Looking at the vendors and pedestrians who didn't get along well with each other at a glance, Zhang Yufu lowered his voice and asked in Ruan Ning's ear, "What is this place?" Something doesn't look right! It won't ......"
As soon as he looked at the look of some owe, Ruan Ning guessed that there would be no good words in his mouth, and immediately glanced at him and said, "You can't stop your mouth even after being hurt like this?" ”
As she spoke, she also patted Zhang Yufu's wound lightly.
"Hiss......" A sudden scream came out of Zhang Yufu's mouth, and he immediately held back all the words he wanted to make fun of Ruan Ning.
