Chapter Twenty-Nine: The Lair
Before dawn the next day, the two little girls were thrown into a carriage. With a crisp neighing of horses, the carriage galloped away like an arrow from a string. When the rooster broke dawn and the city gate opened, the two traffickers who had been waiting for a long time rushed through the city gate in a carriage and left Jingzhou City.
With the degree of bumpiness of the carriage, Hu Ying and the others could clearly feel that the route of the carriage was becoming more and more remote. Perhaps her hands were tied too tightly, and the little girl who was caught with Hu Ying struggled with her hands in pain. Looking at her twisting palms, Hu Ying suddenly had an idea, turned her body little by little, and finally stopped in a position of sitting back to back with the girl. As soon as she touched the girl's hands, Hu Ying immediately groped up and down with her wrist, which could only move, to find the knots and untie them little by little.
I don't know how long it took, but the ropes on the girl's hands were finally untied by Hu Ying. The little girl who had regained her freedom quietly loosened Hu Ying's shackles again. However, because the carriage was too fast, neither of the two little girls dared to jump out of the car, but they both knew in their hearts that if they continued to stay in the car, it would only be more dangerous, and they could be discovered by the two traffickers at any time.
At this moment, two swordsmen on horseback came from the opposite side, and the carriage slowed down slightly as it staggered with them. Hu Ying seized the opportunity, mustered up the courage to jump out of the carriage, and rolled out of the distance after landing on the ground. The man at the head of the two swordsmen glanced at Hu Ying, and suddenly his eyes lit up like a starving ghost seeing a chicken leg, and he jumped off the horse and touched Hu Ying's head, shoulders, and arms.
Before Hu Ying could recover from the pain of landing, the traffickers had already discovered Hu Ying and they were about to flee and hurriedly took corresponding measures. The man quickly got into the carriage to control the other little girl who had not had time to escape, and the woman jumped out of the car to catch Hu Ying.
The woman trafficker quickly approached, but the swordsman still groped around Hu Ying's body as if he hadn't seen her. The woman trafficker had a gloomy face and pulled at the corner of the swordsman's clothes: "Trouble let's go!" ”
The swordsman still ignored her. The woman couldn't bear it anymore and scolded: "Don't think that you are a hero with a broken sword!" The old lady is not afraid of you, let go of the old lady! ”
The white light flashed, the swordsman's long sword was returned to its sheath, and the women traffickers were already in a different place. Blood splashed Hu Ying's face, so frightened that she couldn't say a word when she opened her mouth wide, just trembled vigorously.
Another trafficker saw that the situation was not good, and he was about to flee with a whip. But before the whip landed on the horse's buttocks, it was grabbed by a swordsman who came somehow. The traffickers trembled and begged for mercy: "Big, the hero spares ......" Before the word "life" could be spoken, it was inserted from the mouth by the swordsman with a sword and pierced the back of the head. The little girl in the car looked at the swordsman with wide eyes, not daring to move, her eyes were full of horror. The swordsman looked her up and down, then stabbed her in the heart.
The swordsman returned to Hu Ying, who was so frightened that he had long forgotten to escape, and found a random piece of cloth to blindfold her, and then the eagle grabbed a chicken and lifted her up on horseback, and left with his companions in the dust, leaving the bloody three corpses in the middle of the road.
With the sound of whirring wind, the conversation between the two swordsmen was also heard clearly by Hu Ying.
I only heard the companion ask puzzledly, "Is Shen Protector going to bring this child back to Night Wolf Peak as well?" ”
The swordsman known as Shen Protector explained: "Fan Jie, you still lack experience, you can't see that this kid has a clear bone, and he is a one-in-a-million martial arts wizard?" ”
"Really? I really didn't see it. Fan Jie was quite unimpressed, was he telling a story? A random child on the side of the road is a martial arts wizard?
Shen Protector: "I have carefully checked it up and down, and I will never be wrong. He Tong's slut pressed me everywhere, and the leader of the assassination operation designated by the imperial court was handed over to her alone, which is really hateful! Now she's finally going to lose to me in the matter of accepting apprentices, haha! ”
Fan Jie: "It would be great if this was the case, we would have long since looked at her unpleasantly, relying on herself as the most valued protector of the alliance master, always looking like no one in the eyes of the superior." ”
After that, Hu Ying was blindfolded when she ate and slept for several days. Suddenly, one day, the black cloth on her eyes was suddenly removed, and the sudden sunlight shone so that she couldn't open her eyes. After getting used to it for a while, Hu Ying saw that he was at the foot of a big mountain high in the clouds. Nashen Protector suddenly clamped Hu Ying under his armpit, and as soon as he lifted his breath, he rushed to the top of the mountain as if he were walking on the ground.
When I arrived at the top of the mountain, I suddenly felt cheerful, but I saw that the land was flat, the fields were vertical and horizontal, and the houses on both sides of the road were lined up one after another, which was a vibrant scene. This is what they call Night Wolf Peak? Hearing the name, I thought it was a very gloomy place, but I didn't expect it to be like a paradise, Hu Ying couldn't help but be a little surprised.
Shen Hufa and Fan Jie took Hu Ying to the largest and most magnificent mansion, and the two of them dragged out the body of a young man in the door. "What? Want to run away again? Fan Jie asked.
"Yes, it's the third time this month, and the alliance leader killed him in a fit of rage, and I don't want to think about the Night Wolf Peak is the kind of place where you can come and go when you want? Cheap that pack of wolves, and there are human flesh to eat! One of them replied.
This place is the Night Wolf Peak, the old nest of the Night Wolf Alliance, which makes people talk about the rivers and lakes, and the mansion in front of him is the residence of Yao Wensheng, the leader of the alliance. The Night Wolf League is a killer organization that can help you kill anyone you want to kill as long as the price is reasonable. The major famous and decent families in the rivers and lakes have been trying to get rid of it for many years, but they have never been able to do so. How did they know that the notorious Night Wolf Alliance had the support of the imperial court behind it, and the condition was that they must help the imperial court get rid of those who could not be eliminated for a legitimate reason. Therefore, under the encirclement and interception of famous and decent families, the Night Wolf Alliance can always turn danger into a disaster. It's just that an organization with a very bad reputation like it, the imperial court, on the surface, will never admit that it has anything to do with them.
Entering the lobby, I saw a magnificent inside, and there was a woman in her early twenties in the middle, with very delicate facial features, Hu Ying couldn't help but secretly take a few more looks. As soon as Shen Protector stepped into the lobby, he spoke: "Qi Qi Alliance Leader, Yan Chang, the leader of the Tianlong Gang, has been assassinated by his subordinates, and Duan Jiutian, the second leader, has successfully taken over the position of the gang leader!" Unexpectedly, the leader of the alliance was such a young woman, Hu Ying was secretly surprised.
"Well done! Duan Jiutian paid five times the price to buy Yan Chang's head this time, and the assassination operation cannot be missed, and only by handing it over to Shen Protector can you make this seat feel at ease! "The voice is deep, not like that of a woman. Hu Ying followed the sound and found that there was a man sitting opposite the woman, but he was not as tall as Hu Ying, and he was sitting again, and Hu Ying didn't notice him just now. This person is Yao Wensheng, the leader of the Night Wolf Alliance, although it is difficult to meet an opponent in martial arts, but it is unbelievable that he is a dwarf less than five feet long.
Shen Protector: "Lord Xie appreciates that since the founding of the Tianlong Gang by Yan Ping, a generation of heroes a hundred years ago, the position of the gang leader has been only passed among the descendants of the Yan family. ”
Yao Wensheng's eyes flashed: "That person who kills more, has Duan Jiutian ever paid?" ”
Shen Protector: "This is natural! However, the subordinates went down the mountain this time, and there was an unexpected discovery, and they didn't have time to be the leader of the alliance. ”
Yao Wensheng: "Oh? ”
Shen Protector pulled Hu Ying: "It's this child, his subordinates have been walking the rivers and lakes for many years, and they have never met such a qualified child, so they dare to ask the alliance leader to allow their subordinates to cultivate this child personally." ”
Yao Wensheng: "Yes." ”
Shen Protector was overjoyed: "Thank you, Alliance Master!" ”
Yao Wensheng: "Don't thank you too early, it's not that Shen Protector Mo forgot that if she wants to become a member of the Night Wolf Alliance, it's not enough to have qualifications, and it's not too late to thank her when she passes the Wolf Palace trial." ”
Shen Protector: "Of course! Of course! However, the subordinates were in a hurry to leave, and they had not fed the child for a whole day and night, and it was not too early for her, could she eat something and have another trial tomorrow? ”
The woman on the side suddenly interjected coldly at this time: "Alliance leader, you can promise Shen Baiyue!" I heard that it took him three days to go through this wolf palace back then, presumably he was worried that the good seedlings he had worked so hard to find would starve to death inside! ”
Shen Baiyue's face suddenly turned blue and purple for a while: "He Tong! Don't get complacent too soon, one day I'm going to make you cry! ”
He Tong: "Then I'm looking forward to that day as soon as possible, because I've never cried, haha." ”
Yao Wensheng stopped the two: "Do you two want to quarrel every time you meet, Shen Protector, luck is also part of strength, take this child into the Wolf Palace immediately!" ”
Shen Baiyue had no choice but to accept the order.
Hu Ying, who had been silent, suddenly said loudly at this time: "I don't want to go to any trials, let alone join your Night Wolf Alliance, I want to go home!" ”
He Tong said coldly: "You must have seen that corpse just now, if you want to go home, you have to turn into a corpse first, are you sure?" ”
Hu Ying glared at He Tong angrily and didn't speak again.
It is said that it is a wolf palace, but it is actually a large labyrinth, and it is not said to be a wolf, and not even a mouse can be found. A few people came to the labyrinth, and as far as the eye could see, there were stone walls four or five people high, and there was no edge in sight. Shen Baiyue brought Hu Ying into the mouth and threw down a sentence, "If you don't want to starve to death, come out early." Leaving the labyrinth, the guards followed and closed the door.
"A bunch of maniacs!" Hu Ying cursed in a low voice, just scolded and scolded, now people are swordsmen and I am fish and meat, and there is no other way but to cooperate obediently. With a quick glance before, Hu Ying knew that the scale of this maze was far beyond her imagination, and she had to leave something at the intersection to make a mark, otherwise she would really not be able to get out if she got lost.
Because the rice had not been eaten for a whole day, Hu Ying's stomach could not bear the loneliness at the moment, and she cooed. After tearing off a piece of cloth from his cuff and pressing it under the stone, he hurried into the depths of the labyrinth. In addition to the torture of hunger, the human bones that appeared at the foot of the wall from time to time often shocked Hu Ying into a cold sweat. Time passed little by little, and her clothes were torn less and less, and she would have to run naked after a few more intersections.
Any other fear is nothing compared to death, and the human bones that scared Hu Ying half to death when she first entered the labyrinth have now become a prop for her to mark her direction.
The sun was gradually setting in the west, and Hu Ying was still clueless. Suddenly, a stone at the intersection in front of her caught her attention, and from the position it looked a bit like she had placed it herself, and it seemed that she had walked a little more in vain, and along the way, she had become accustomed to this kind of scene. But when she got closer, Hu Ying was still gasping in shock, only to see that a piece of fabric with cuffs pressed under the stone was the first mark she had made.
