Crossbow arrows protruded from the second-floor windows on both sides of the street, and the cold, sharp arrows were aimed at the Xuanwu guards on horseback on either side of the prisoner cart.

Seeing that the time was ripe, a killer who blended into the crowd deliberately began to argue violently with a man next to him, and then the two men developed a physical altercation and scuffled with each other and rolled to the front of the prison cart team, which had to temporarily stop advancing.

The leading officer angrily dismounted and prepared to check the situation, but as soon as he approached, the killer quickly pulled out his dagger and cut the officer's throat in an instant.

Seeing this, the other soldiers suddenly panicked, and in an instant, the crossbow arrows on both sides of the street fell as densely as rain, and the Xuanwu Guards, who had not prepared anti-arrow equipment, were suddenly killed and injured in the rain of arrows.

"Don't panic, don't panic, their target is the prisoners in the prison car, and everyone will lean near the prison car." Another officer-dressed man roared, and then the soldiers who were running around in a panic gathered around the prisoner van.

Because Zhou Xuan ordered Chu Birou to be captured alive, in order to prevent accidentally injuring the people in the prisoner car, the killers who released arrows on the second floor had to temporarily put away their bows and crossbows.

Seeing that the number of crossbow arrows was gradually decreasing, the soldiers who reacted prepared to rush to the second floor to capture the killer who released the arrows. However, as soon as they entered the shops on both sides of the street, another group of killers who had already been ambushed in them took advantage of the chaos to kill the soldiers who rushed into the shops one after another.

When most of the soldiers guarding the prison cart were killed, Qiu Ying rushed down the street where the people were fleeing with the Darkiron Heavy Sword towards Chu Birou's prison cart. The remaining soldiers hurriedly resisted, but where they were the opponents of the Shadow Shadow, they all collapsed to the ground under the heavy blow of the Darkiron Heavy Sword.

As he approached the prisoner cart, he raised his heavy sword and swung it hard, and the wooden bar on the prisoner cart was instantly torn apart by a huge wave of air.

"Miss Chu, come with me!" Qiu Ying climbed into the car and grabbed Chu Birou's hand and prepared to leave.

"Wait...... Wait a minute, I don't know who you are, but can you help get them all away? Please......" Chu Birou pleaded softly to Qiu Ying after looking at the prison car where Gao Che and the other three were being held.

Qiu Yingben didn't want to make a fuss, but when he looked at Chu Birou's eager eyes, he looked a little helpless. Soon, he also helped rescue the three people in another prison car.

"Pavilion...... Who are you? Why save us? Ahem......" Gao Che, who had not yet recovered from his illness, asked Qiu Ying cautiously.

"Hmph, thank me, I'll be exempt, and when you are safe, protect Chu Birou for me!" The shadow left a meaningful word to Goche before turning away.

"Quick, while the reinforcements from Xuanwuwei haven't arrived yet, let's get out of here first." Gao Che said anxiously to the people around him.

"Hehe, I'm afraid you won't be able to leave for the time being." I don't know when, Zhou Xuan, under the escort of a group of killers under his command, appeared beside the people who were rescued by the shadow.

"It's you again, what do you want to do today?" Chu Birou asked sharply without fear.

"Well, is this your attitude towards your savior? It's chilling. Zhou Xuan sneered and said to the people who were quietly surrounded by his subordinates, "I just want to invite Miss Chu Birou to be a guest, why do you want to make the atmosphere so tense?" ”

"Come on, who doesn't know, you're a weasel giving New Year's greetings to chickens, and you're not happy! Our sister Chu won't fall for you. Do you want to fight again? Come on, I'm worried that I have no place to vent! Lu Lingxuan said to Zhou Xuan very unceremoniously, and then she picked up a short sword that fell to the ground and protected it in front of Chu Birou.

"It's not time to fight hard now, Xuanwuwei's people may arrive at any time, you leave quickly, otherwise none of us will be able to leave!" Gao Che held the sword of the slain officer in front of Lu Lingxuan again, and at the same time he turned around and whispered to the others.

"Well, he's right, we shouldn't be in love, let's go!" Chu Birou quickly stretched out two yellow ribbons from her sleeves and tripped over the two killers at the corner of the street, and then Gao Che and Lu Lingxuan also quickly got rid of the killers entangled beside them, protecting the others and using the cover of the crowd to escape from the East Market.

"It's really strange, why did the person who saved us just now suddenly disappear, he should come to help us!" Lu Lingxuan was a little puzzled because she didn't see the shadow.

When everyone finally got on their horses and got rid of the entanglement of Zhou Xuan and his men, they were ready to rush out of the city gate and escape from Chengdu in one go.

Qiu Ying appeared at the east gate of Chengdu at the right time wearing a black hat, and then he quickly killed more than a dozen soldiers guarding the city near the east gate like an autumn wind sweeping away the leaves, and after the people who arrived on horseback successfully escaped from the east gate, Qiu Ying also followed him and rode a horse left by the soldiers near the east gate, and then he followed everyone out of the east gate.

Several people successfully rendezvoused in a lush wooded area near Chengdu. And when Feng Qian began to talk about where they were going next, several people looked at me and I looked at you, and they all seemed to feel a little uncertain.

Lu Lingxuan suggested that everyone follow her back to the beggar gang helm in Luoyang, where she thought it was an excellent place for them to hide.

It's just that Chu Birou recalled that Meng Yan told her that the beggar gang had sent people to Chengdu to compete for him because they wanted to get the bounty on him, and this matter had caused a storm in the city at that time. She was worried that once the Shu Imperial Court also issued a reward order for them, even if she believed that Lu Lingxuan would not harm them, it would be difficult to ensure that no one else in the mixed beggar gang would be unfavorable to them at that time.

Qiu Ying, who was standing aside, seemed to read her heart from Chu Birou's expression, and she was a little uneasy at the moment.

After a moment of silence, Shadow stood in the midst of them and offered to follow him to the Celestial Firmament, which was what the man who had entrusted him with rescuing them wanted to see.

"The Firmament Palace? I remember my father once told me that the people there have always been dedicated to cultivating the Tao and have no quarrel with the world, and they rarely ask about the affairs of the rivers and lakes. Now that we are fugitives, will they take us in? Lu Lingxuan had some faint worries in her heart.

"Miss Chu, please believe it. As expected, the person who entrusted me with saving you is probably already in Qingshan at this time. Once the girl goes with me to the Firmament Palace to see this person, then the girl's life experience and the various reasons for the destruction of the Shuitian Pavilion back then, the girl can also know a lot from this mouth. Seeing that everyone had some doubts, Qiu Ying spent most of his tongue on Chu Birou.

Chu Birou looked thoughtfully at Qiu Ying's serious expression. Although the current shadow is only a one-sided lifesaver for her, she has always had a sense of intimacy and trust in her heart that she can't describe.

"Well, everyone, then let's listen to this senior's words and go to the Firmament Palace first. If we don't even believe the words of this life-saver, then it feels a bit unspeakable, you see? Chu Birou still decisively chose to believe in Qiu Ying.

"Well, then we'll go to the Firmament Palace, anyway, there won't be a worse situation than now, please lead the way." After Gao Che saw Chu Birou smile with a few hopeful smiles for the future, he also decided to follow Chu Birou to act together.

The rest of the people also successively said that they could follow them to the Firmament Palace, and only Gao Che's deputy general, Feng Gan, resigned to Gao Che on the grounds that he did not want to contact the Jianghu sect too much.

After the group set off, in order to avoid the eyes and ears of the officers and soldiers, it was decided to march along the sparsely populated country roads as much as possible.

At nightfall, a few people saw that it was getting late, so they decided to stay overnight at a farmer's house and continue their journey the next morning.

The night in the countryside is the most refreshing, the cool breeze rustles through the rice fields, and the fireflies decorate the quiet woods at night like tiny lanterns.

The clouds and mist gradually dispersed, the moon was bright, and the stars were embedded in the night sky that shrouded the earth like a huge curtain.

In this beautiful and picturesque night view of the farmhouse, Chu Birou sat alone on the roof of the farmhouse and listened to the chirping of insects and frogs from all around the house. After all, after all I have been through, it is rare to come across such a moment to completely relax my body and mind like this.

"Is it true that you can know everything when you go to the Firmament Palace? Father, mother, if you have a spirit in the sky, please bless your daughter to understand all the truth, sword the enemy, and avenge you and the dead brothers and sisters in Shuitian Pavilion! ”

Chu Birou looked at the bright moon hanging high in the night sky and shed tears alone, this twenty-year-old girl who was supposed to live happily with her family on the shore of Dongting Lake, but her thin arms had already taken on many heavy responsibilities that were unbearable for ordinary girls.

"Yo, Miss Chu is actually here, I can finally understand why there are always people who like to compare you women to cats, haha!" Gocher laughed and climbed onto the roof.

"Heh, didn't Gao Gongzi come up too? It seems that women are not the only ones who want to be cats in this world! Chu Birou also teased at Gao Che.

"Haha, it's better for Miss Chu to be a cat, you're thin enough, if I become a cat, won't the roofs of every house be crushed?" Goucher laughed and laughed at himself.

"Hehe, it's really disrespectful that the little woman doesn't know that General Gao Che of Yang Dashu is still such a humorous person."

The two of them looked at each other and smiled heartily, Chu Birou, who was originally introverted and rarely spoken, didn't feel disgusted by Gao Che, who often liked to gag in front of her. On the contrary, whenever Gao Che frolicked by her side, her heart, which had been overwhelmed by several large stones, suddenly felt much soothed, which was not effective for her in all the medical techniques she had studied before.

"Miss Chu, in fact, I ...... I've always wanted to thank you for trusting me so much, a thief wanted by the imperial court, and I don't know how I should repay you in the future. Gaucher suddenly became serious, and at the same time, two faint blush gradually appeared on his hard, shapely face.

"If Childe really wants to repay me, then listen to my words and take medicine on time to regulate your body, if you can fully recover before you arrive in Qingshan, this will be the best reward for me." Chu Birou responded to Gao Che with a smile that was rare on her daily cold face, and a trace of love that was still in ignorance had quietly sprouted in her barren heart at this time.

"Hey, I don't know when a leaf is stuck to my body. Haha, Miss Chu is blessed today, don't dare to say anything else, playing tunes with leaves is the best thing in my life! ”

Gao Che closed his eyes and affectionately played a long and graceful piece of music beside Chu Birou, and the ethereal and beautiful sound resounded uninterruptedly in the moonlit farmhouse field.

This unforgettable night was like a quiet and peaceful dream, which Chu Birou deeply indulged in. Perhaps in addition to the burdens that had to be carried on her shoulders alone, there was more beauty in this world that was worth savoring and cherishing by this strong girl.
