There was no immediate answer outside. After a long time, Gao gradually left and said, "It's still in the mountains of the Qin Kingdom." We have to go fast. ”

"Why haven't you left yet? Haven't left yet? Ji Dan anxiously licked his bloodless lips and thought, "Is it really impossible to escape?" ”

But he had to flee. That terrible person is no longer the childhood playmate, no longer the weak child who said to him with tears in his eyes, "Brother's grace, toothless and unforgettable".

Ji Dan's face turned even paler, and an abnormal flush appeared on his cheekbones. He felt like he was about to fall ill. The weakness of the collapse of his whole body made him slowly close his eyes.

Mantis felt that he didn't need to get too close to the carriage.

He was far enough away because in the mud and grass of the mountains, he could clearly distinguish the traces of carts and horses' hooves.

He paused for a moment every once in a while, then ran wildly, and then stopped and lay on the ground, quietly listening to the sound of the ground.

That's right. The group kept walking. It is a very hidden mountain road. Not many people know about this secret mountain passage. They must have prepared well in advance.

Ordinary pursuers will only miss the hidden entrance to this secret mountain passage. And in the middle of this lofty mountain, halfway through the winding Qishui River, there is indeed a secret mountain road where you can walk alone in a carriage.

The mantis kept a safe distance and followed closely.

Void Mantis is only nineteen years old this year, but by the time he was sixteen, he had already become the youngest killer in the Tiangan Killer Troupe.

The skill of killing people was learned from a young age, but the skill of tracking was obtained after entering the Nine Palaces and being sent to the Saiwaihu people to practice hard.

Since the age of eighteen, he has been tracking down targets every day, from interception to assassination, to kidnapping, as in this case.

Less than three years after joining Jiugong, the virtual mantis already has a well-known name in the rivers and lakes, "the shadow of the mantis knife".

The mantis's weapon is a short knife. The name is "Bisong Mantis Knife".

This short blade has a turquoise hilt, a slightly curved blade, and four fingers wide, and at first glance looks like a woodcutter. But it has green lines like pine needles all over its body, and it is dazzling from a distance, like a giant blade of a praying mantis's forefoot.

The mantis crouched on the ground again. The sound of the carriage galloping and the hoofs of the guards following him was distinctly heard in his ears.

A total of six horses, a carriage. The mantis didn't mind rushing forward to fight those people face-to-face. The "Bisong Mantis Knife" in his hand doesn't know how many ghosts have been unjustly killed, and there are not many of them.

But what scared him was that he vaguely felt that in addition to the fast-fleeing team in front of him, there were two people he couldn't see.

He couldn't see it, but he could make out the faint sound of breaking through the air, and the currents of air grazing the turf.

Some of the weak thatch was dumped in the direction it shouldn't have fallen, and some of the dust was thrown down where it shouldn't have fallen.

The mantis judged that there were two more people. These two people are peerless masters, completely hidden and invisible to the naked eye.

The mantis hesitated in his heart. He believed that as long as he made a move, these two people would definitely block the front. And the martial arts of these two people are unfathomable.

As a Tiangan killer, the highest level is to succeed in one blow, although this time the order he got was not a lore order, but an interception and kidnapping. But it's somewhat difficult. Especially if there are two extremely strong opponents who make a block.

The virtual mantis is only one person and one knife, and there is no certainty of victory.

He bit his rosy lip, and his young face always seemed sleepy-eyed. At this moment, he squinted his eyes slightly, looked like he had not woken up, and snorted twice: "Let's follow first." The tiger is also afraid that there will be times when he naps. ”

Feng Luotang and Shao Yi followed for a while, and then sat lazily on the roof of the carriage. The horse had traveled many miles, and by this time it was at the end of its crossbow, snorting heavily, and its legs trembling.

Feng Luotang and the others thought to themselves, it is not in vain to sit in your carriage. So he used the dragon's energy and gently pushed it, making the horse walk more briskly.

"Young master, you say, will they have to pass through Zhao Guo all the way?" Feng Luotang asked.

"I think so, I checked the map I brought with me yesterday. If you take this road, you will inevitably pass through Zhao Guo. Shao Yi replied.

"Then you said that we should call Gongzi Jia to help him." Feng Luotang thought of it and said.

"Yes, a former prince, a current county prince, and he will not be able to get the throne in the future. It should be a sympathy for each other. It's not as good as this. When the soup falls, you go with them. I ran to call Gongzi Jia to come and answer, how about it? ”

Feng Luotang moved to the young master's side, grabbed Shao Yi's shirt from behind, and said softly, "Don't, you have to go together." I didn't stay alone, it was too boring. ”

Shao Yi tilted his head to look at her, and saw that she lowered her head slightly, and her snow-white cheeks seemed to be dyed with morning glow.

He stretched out his right arm and gently wrapped it around Feng Luotang's shoulder, and said to her, "Okay, I'll accompany you." When we entered the city of Zhao, we went back from the barrier together. Make it. His tone was as gentle as the morning breeze.

If you pass through the secret path of the mountains and enter the border of Zhao State, there is no national border stone monument.

Ji Dan and his entourage crossed the last mountain beam, and when they reached the mountainside, it was already twilight.

Gao gradually left the proposal: "It's getting late. The nearest city must have closed its gates. Exposure to the wilderness is relatively dangerous. Continue to stay in the mountains for another night. ”

A group of people lit a fire as usual at night a few days ago, and brought water and food to Ji Dan in the car.

Because Feng Luotang and Shao Yi were always sitting on the roof of the car, the purple-clothed young man who fell behind this team had lost the traces of these two masters for several days.

The mantis was hesitating. Further on, it entered the densely populated Zhao Plain. And tonight, I'm afraid, is the last chance.

"Could it be that those two masters have already left?" The cautious mantis lay quietly on the ground at this time, listening to the sound in front of him.

The breeze blew, and the tips of the grass hit his face, so that he finally felt a little refreshed as if he had been looking like he couldn't wake up.

The mantis is like a tanuki in the night, with bright eyes. He decided to act tonight.

Ji Dan sat silently in the car, nibbling on the unpalatable dry food. He took a sip of cold water. A chill passed through his body, causing him to shiver lightly again.

He had calmed down, changed into clean clothes, and had a good night's sleep in the cramped car.

The fall of night made the carriage even darker.

It has crossed the border of the state of Zhao. This is a country with a fertile field. He sighed softly, a country where he had been almost longer than he had been in the Yan Kingdom.

At that time, Ji Dan was very young, a few years old to a teenager, and lived here all the time. Although Handan City is very large, the house he lives in is not large. Slowly, he got used to Zhao Guo's ordinary boring days.

Until one day, she went to Handshan Lake with her mother for a spring outing, and met a group of unscrupulous teenagers by the lake, who were bullying a thin black and thin child.

The child looked gloomy, and people didn't like it. Probably because of a few provocative words, he was chased and beaten by a group of children, and he was panicked.

When he ran to the edge of Hanshan Lake, the group of children caught up with him, and under the push, the children fell into the lake.

Ji Dan has liked swimming since he was a child, so he jumped into Hanshan Lake without hesitation and rescued the black and thin child like a chicken cub.

That child was just like when Ji Dan crawled out of the Qishui River a few days ago, even his lips trembled and he shivered.

The child lifted his embarrassed face full of water, looked at Ji Dan, and told him that his name was Yingzheng.

Since they met, Ji Dan has become Yingzheng's only playmate. Ying Zheng is the kind of child who sees and dislikes. Adults don't like it, and children are willing to bully him. Only Ji Dan can treat him very gently.

Ying Zheng's mother and son lived a difficult life in Handan, and sometimes even the Zhao bureaucrats who managed them forgot to give them rations, causing the mother and son to go hungry often.

Therefore, Ying Zheng often goes to Ji Dan's house to have a meal. Ji Dan is like a little brother, keeping him delicious and fun, and if there are any good things, he will also think about this poor little black child.

Ji Dan remembered a lot of what they had said. That time, outside the kitchen door under Ji Dan's house, two children sat on the millstone, shaking their legs, looking up at the blue sky, basking in the sun together.

"Will you return to Qin in the future?" Ji Dan asked Yingzheng.

"Go back. I'm going back to Qin. What about you? Ying Zheng's thin little face looked affirmative.

"I'm also going back to Yan Kingdom. I am the crown prince, and I will be the king of Yan in the future. Ji Dan's voice was not loud, and he was as humble as usual.

"Then the two of us say okay. In the future, if you return to Yan State, you must form an alliance with Qin State forever. It's okay not to fight? Ying Zheng asked.

"No war." Ji Dan gently assured.

"And what if you forgot what you said?" Ying Zheng asked Ji Dan.

"You forgot?" Ji Dan asked Ying Zhengdao rhetorically.

"Unless corn falls from the sky, don't dare to forget." Ying Zheng swears.

Ji Dan thought this statement was funny. also said seriously: Unless the crow has a white head and the horse has horns, don't dare to forget. ”

Ying Zheng wanted to say more, but he couldn't find the right words, and when he looked back at the kitchen door, he followed: "Unless the kitchen door wooden elephant gives birth to fleshy feet!" ”

The two of them laughed out loud for a while because of such an interesting remark, and they were happy for a long time.

"Good. Let's make a decision. Finally, Ji Dan said.

"I swear to be here, don't dare to forget." Ying Zheng also said.

The two sat close together, shoulder to shoulder, wiggling their calves beyond the ground. The shadows of the two pairs of feet shook and shook on the ground, leaving a few small shadows under the dazzling sunlight.

Yes, when Ji Dan was in the main hall of the Qin Palace, accusing Ying Zheng of being ungrateful and asking for him to be released back to Yan Kingdom, Ying Zheng shouted loudly: "The crow has a white head, the horse has horns, you can go." Otherwise, you will never be allowed to leave! ”

As soon as he thought of this, the anger in Ji Dan's heart burned to his throat. All the childish warmth paid in childhood turned into disgusting embarrassment.

Isn't this oath saying that Qin Yanyong is good for forming an alliance? Now that Yingzheng is the king, when it is time to fulfill his childhood promise, he points to the world and does not hide Qin's covetousness for Yan.

Ji Dan showed a self-deprecating wry smile in the dark. Who remembers what was said as a child? Oh, no. Ying Zheng remembered the two sentences that Ji Dan said, but he didn't remember what those words were for.

"Ying Zheng!" The anger in Ji Dan's heart continued to rise. "Whoever perverts his word deserves to die. Even if God does not punish you, I will let the person who tears up the oath apologize with death! ”

Ji Dan clenched his fists in the darkness and gritted his teeth. The one who humiliated him again and again with resentment must die.

The mantis silently pulled out the "Bisong Mantis Knife" and lifted the purple scarf on his face slightly. He had sensed from the quiet wind that it was time for action.

Most of the guards had already fallen asleep, and even the prince of Yan Kingdom in the car had fallen asleep. Perhaps because they had entered the Zhao realm, they only left one person who kept vigil.

But the mantis is still extremely careful. He made a way to escape, clinging to the floating grass on the surface, and moved quickly towards the carriage.

When he was still more than ten feet away from the night watchman, the mantis raised his hand and shot out a hidden weapon mourning nail. This secret weapon technique can relieve the combat power of the night watchman in an instant.

However, the mourning nail did not succeed in hitting the night watchman, but "ding" in the air, and was blocked by something.

It was Feng Luotang who shot. She and Shao Yi had already discovered the lurking mantis. Shao Yi pulled out the sword of the cadre and jumped off the roof of the carriage, while Feng Luotang quickly made a sword, allowing the coffin to directly block the mourning nail in the air.

Startled, the mantis approached the carriage quickly, trying to quickly capture the people in the carriage before the surrounding guards were alarmed.

But he was still three feet away from the car, and he couldn't go any further. He could already feel two powerful forces in the wind coming at him from above.

The mantis closes its eyes and doesn't need to look at it in the dark. He could hear the change in the airflow.

The sudden strong wind on the left caused him to leap backwards, dodging a sword handed out by Feng Luotang. But as soon as he jumped away, from above and down, another strong wind clashed. It was Shao Yi's cadre's sword, and the "Ancestor Kaishan" attacked from above.

The mantis rolled towards the ground at great speed, dodging the sword again.

Feng Luotang and Shao Yi were also taken aback. The attacker was able to dodge their sword moves without seeing them, which is not insignificant.

It seems that it is still taken lightly. Just as the two of them were startled, the mantis was as fast as the wind, and it had already reached the front of the carriage.

He lifted the curtain and was about to stretch out his hand into the car, but Feng Luotang and Shao Yi were already rushing towards him like two winds.

He felt a strong force that struck him in the chest like a mountain of boulders. At that moment, the Void Mantis saw death by a thin line.

He held his breath and flew backwards, directly under the belly of the horse pulling the cart in front of him, and narrowly escaped the attack.

It's too late. The sneak attack was clearly a failure. As long as those two masters are still there, the Void Mantis has no chance.

The Void Mantis quickly re-applied the method of land escape, and rolled towards the edge of the cliff against the turf. Not far away was an abyss, but the mantis climbed a few shrubs, like a wandering snake, and quickly fled towards the dark mountain.

Feng Luotang really didn't expect that the two of them would not be able to succeed in the attack in the dark. It seems that the attacker was very skillful. With such a powerful skill, if you raid to kill Ji Dan, I am afraid there will be many opportunities along the way.

The night watchman by the fire just now actually heard the dinging sound of the hidden weapon. He had drawn his sword and made a defensive gesture in front of the fire.

But his posture stiffened for a while, but nothing else was unusual. Because the sneak attack of the Void Mantis came too quickly, and Feng Luotang and Shao Yi's counterattack was faster. Everything has quietly ended in the blink of an eye.

"This man will still come." Shao Yi said.

"He was right behind us. It's horrible. Feng Luotang thought that he had been followed by someone all the time, and he was really a little chilled.
