Chapter 340: Mao Wenlong's Promise
"In the back, go and save them!" In the chaotic fighting arena, a loud roar was heard from nowhere.
Mao Wenlong didn't pay attention to it, and the only thing he was most anxious about in front of him was the safety of Hong Ziyan and Chen Lan. Li Xiu's appearance after his death has always lingered in his mind, which directly caused Mao Wenlong to be unable to calm down at all.
With the saber on his waist already in his hand, Mao Wenlong led hundreds of Dongjiang troops directly around the place of the fight and continued to advance towards the woods in the rear.
After walking for a while, they heard the exclamations of the women and the lewd laughter of the men.
Mao Wenlong was silent, holding his saber in both hands and striding through the grass in front of him.
All the Dongjiang troops who came with them didn't dare to say anything when they saw Mao Wenlong's appearance, they immediately dispersed and surrounded this place as soon as possible.
Chen Lan and Hong Ziyan were forced by Xiao Liu and a few bandits to the side of a big rock, and at this moment they had no way to retreat.
"Don't come here, don't come over......" Chen Lan guarded in front of Hong Ziyan, waving the wooden stick in his hand indiscriminately.
"Little ladies, I advise you not to resist, otherwise don't blame us for using force. Hey...... Obediently let us be refreshed, if you are happy, maybe you can spare your life. Xiao Liu's heheyin laughed and threatened Chen Lan and Hong Ziyan, who were already on the verge of collapse.
"Don't come here, help, Xianggong......" Chen Lan, who was already desperate, let out her last shout, and at this moment she had already remembered what she said before separating from Li Xiu.
If you can't escape, you will cut yourself off so that your innocence will not be tarnished!
At this moment, the only thought in Chen Lan's mind was to cut herself off, and her eyes were firmly fixed on the big knife in Xiao Liu's hand. At the last minute, she would rush up and hit the tip of the knife herself, and even if she died, she would not let her body be defiled in any way.
Tears flowed from the corners of Chen Lan's eyes, and he silently said goodbye to Mao Wenlong in his heart. Chen Lan's strange appearance seemed to infect Hong Ziyan behind her, and her expression was no different from Chen Lan at this moment.
Apparently she had understood that neither of them had any hope of survival, death! It was the only wish in her heart at the moment.
"That's right, stand obediently like this and don't move, and when you serve your master well, I will spare your life. Hehe...... "Xiao Liu's meeting has begun to become impatient, and his pace can't help but speed up a little.
However, just as he was about to touch Chen Lan's face, a saber pierced directly through his back to his chest. The sharp tip of the knife passed through his body, revealing his chest, and red blood was pouring out of the tip.
Xiao Liu's face was incredible, and he tried hard to turn around to see who had pierced him from behind. It's a pity that he couldn't do it, and the big knife that pierced his body suddenly turned violently, like a meat grinder, stirring Xiao Liu's chest to pieces.
There was no trace of pity on Mao Wenlong's face, Xiao Liu had already lost his breath at this time, he took out his saber and stabbed Xiao Liu's body again and again.
"Phase...... Gong ......"
When Chen Lan opened her eyes and was about to seek death, she saw Mao Wenlong, thinking that she was hallucinating, her face was full of disbelief.
A sound woke Mao Wenlong from his anger, he dropped the saber full of blood in his hand, and stepped forward to hug Chen Lan, who was still in a panic, and Hong Ziyan, who was stunned behind.
"You're safe." A thousand words finally turned into one sentence, and Mao Wenlong's heart that had been hanging finally fell back into his stomach at this moment.
Feeling the real and warm chest, Chen Lan and Hong Ziyan slowly reacted.
"It's not an illusion!"
Chen Lan and Hong Ziyan immediately cried loudly, the frightening experience of this day and night, their hearts were already depressed, and at this moment in the arms of their lovers, they vented their unhappiness to the fullest.
"It's not an illusion, you're safe, you've suffered a lot, aren't you?" Mao Wenlong let go of the two, took a step back and looked at the embarrassed appearance of the two, Mao Wenlong couldn't help but feel heartache.
At this time, the fighting next to him had stopped, and the remaining bandits had been killed by the Dongjiang Army, and even the corpses had been cleaned up by them.
Mao Wenlong helped Chen Lan and Hong Ziyan to turn around and was about to go back, however, at this time, Chen Lan, who had settled down, suddenly remembered Li Xiulai, who was almost forgotten.
"Xianggong, how is Li Xiu?" With a face full of hope, Chen Lan obviously hoped that what came out of Mao Wenlong's mouth was good news.
However, Mao Wenlong's face suddenly sank, and he didn't know how to tell the two girls the news that Li Xiu had died.
From Mao Wenlong's expression, Chen Lan immediately realized that it was not good, and he asked nervously: "What happened to her?" ”
Hong Ziyan also became nervous, staring at Mao Wenlong's eyes without blinking.
She ...... He's dead. ”
Mao Wenlong's deep voice wrapped around Chen Lan and Hong Ziyan's ears, but the two of them fell into a daze at the same time, and they didn't react for a long time.
Looking at the two women's unacceptable appearance of Li Xiu's death, Mao Wenlong didn't know what to say to comfort for a while.
After a long time, Chen Lan accepted the news of Li Xiu's death, and she asked heavily: "Where is Li Xiu, we want to see her." ”
Mao Wenlong clearly remembered what Li Xiu looked like when he died, and he was sure that Chen Lan and Hong Ziyan definitely didn't want to see what Li Xiu looked like when he died.
"I've asked the guards to take her down the mountain, and you'll be able to see her when we go down." Infected by the firmness of Chen Lan's face, Mao Wenlong couldn't help but tell the truth.
Chen Lan turned around and glanced at Hong Ziyan, both of them knew in their hearts that Li Xiu's death was entirely due to the drag of the two of them. Now that they have survived, Li Xiu, who has been protecting the two of them, died like ......this.
In silence, the three of them descended the mountain under the arch guard of the kind of guard, and Mao Wenlong also learned from Chen Lan's mouth that these people who were chasing them were a group of bandits. And it was the eagle dog of the imperial court who took them away.
"There are actually people from the East Factory mixed in Ye County, and no one has ever found out?" A sharp glint flashed in Mao Wenlong's eyes, it was obvious that this was Chongzhen's revenge for his large-scale cleanup of spies in Henan.
"Xianggong, don't let those people go, if it weren't for them, Li Xiu wouldn't have died for protecting us." Chen Lan made a rare request to Mao Wenlong.
"Yes, Brother Mao, we have to avenge Li Xiu no matter what, we can't let her die like this and do nothing." Hong Ziyan's little face was full of hatred, and Li Xiu's death had a great impact on him.
Mao Wenlong looked at the two of them and solemnly promised: "I won't let Li Xiu die in vain, all the people related to this matter, don't even think about escaping, don't think about it!" ”
