Chapter 12: The Cowardly Girl
Watching an accomplice die tragically in front of him, he now saw that his own people were being burned in flames.
The remaining two men in black made a decision immediately, and without hesitation, they flew up directly and fled from the road.
The cultivation of the four of them is all at the second level.
But the cultivation that the person in front of him is currently showing seems to be at the peak of the second grade, or higher.
If it is normal, with the combined efforts of the four of them, they should be able to kill each other.
But now, they didn't expect that as soon as the other party appeared, they would kill two of the parties.
Therefore, they must flee, and they must bring this news back.
So, I saw the two men in black fleeing in two opposite directions.
The man in the cloak frowned and looked in the direction the two had evacuated.
But after only thinking for a moment, he threw himself away.
He just chased one of them.
He knew he couldn't kill both of them at the same time, but he needed to leave one and one alive.
………………
After the man in black and the man in the cloak disappeared, this secluded long street returned to silence.
Inside the carriage, the young man was like a man, reaching out and hugging the little girl's body.
But he didn't feel happy or lustful because he hugged a beauty.
His thoughts were simple.
He just wanted to protect the other party, that's all.
And the little girl who is usually very smug is holding her legs with both hands tonight, pressing her knees with her chin, and her body is trembling uncontrollably.
This time, she was really scared.
But outside the carriage, there had been silence for a long time.
The young man finally mustered up the courage, leaned forward, slowly opened the red curtain with his hand, and looked at the scenery beyond the carriage.
He saw that the big black horse was lying in a pool of blood, and his body was no longer heaving.
He saw that next to the big black horse, a masked man in black was choking his throat with both hands, and he was also motionless and fell in a pool of blood.
Ten paces away, he saw a humanoid corpse almost charred, still emitting white smoke.
He turned his head, looked at the little girl who bowed his head and said nothing, and said in a trembling voice.
"Little... Little girl....they all seem to be dead....".
He was actually scared too.
But he forcibly suppressed the fear in his heart, because beside him, there was a woman he wanted to protect.
The little girl also seemed to realize that there had been no movement outside the carriage for a long time.
So she cautiously turned her face sideways and looked out of the carriage.
But as soon as she turned her head, she saw blood all over the floor, and the corpse.
Suddenly, I saw him stretch out his hand to cover his eyes, and muttered in his mouth, "It's terrible... It's horrible...".
She thought to herself, "I didn't expect this river and lake to be so terrible..... it seems that I still tell the story... It's just ...".
For a while, she wanted to be a person in the rivers and lakes.
But first she found out that no one wanted to teach her martial arts.
And it wasn't until tonight that she realized that the rivers and lakes weren't for dinner....it was really going to die...
In fact, there are many dead people in the stories she tells.
She was the first time she had seen someone die tonight.....
When the young man saw that the little girl who talked about the affairs of the rivers and lakes on weekdays had such a cute side, he couldn't hold back his laughter and laughed out loud.
"Poof".
The little girl jerked her head up, looked at him viciously, and spoke.
"What are you laughing at?".
And the fear that originally lingered around the two of them was completely washed away by their words and words.
….
A moment later.
The young man got out of the carriage first, and stretched out his hand, trying to help the little girl down.
The little girl did not refuse, and after taking the other party's arm, she jumped out of the carriage tremblingly.
However, although she mustered up the courage to get out of the carriage, she still did not dare to look at the corpse.
Because such a scene is too cruel for her.
The young man reached out to hold the little girl's shoulders as he cautiously approached the charred corpse.
However, just as he stretched out a foot, ready to test the man's life and death, he saw a dark shadow suddenly descend from the night sky.
In an instant, he, who was already terrified, was almost frightened.
I saw him protecting the little girl beside him while retreating again and again.
However, when the little girl saw the falling black shadow, the fear in her heart disappeared without a trace.
She jumped on the spot, the two dimples on her face blooming again with her smile.
She stretched out her hand and pointed to the person in front of her, and said loudly, "You are really a person from the rivers and lakes!" ”
The man in the cloak slowly lifted the black hat from his head, revealing the corners of his mouth full of stubble and deep eyes.
He looked at the two frightened boys and girls with a blank expression.
After that, he let go of his hand and put down the corpse he was holding in his right hand.
In fact, he didn't want to kill the man in black.
He wanted to keep a living, and by the way, he asked the other party who was instructed by whom.
But he didn't expect that when the other party was seriously injured, he directly bit through the poison hidden in his mouth and committed suicide.
Therefore, when there was no way, he could only carry the body and return to the street.
The young man looked at the man in the cloak he had seen before, and said with a trembling voice.
"Big... Swordsman... These people... Did you kill them all..? ”。
The cloaked man didn't speak, just looked around at the three corpses on the ground and nodded.
The young man's heart suddenly tightened, as if he had thought of something.
Immediately afterwards, I saw him turn around sharply and look at the road from which he came.
He saw that not far from the long street, Brother Zhao's body was already motionless on the street, lying quietly.
He let go of the little girl's hand and rushed straight to the rear.
"Brother Zhao...".
The boy crouched down, as if he didn't want to believe the facts in front of him.
He began to gently push the swordsman's body and call the other man's name.
In fact, the relationship between the young man and the swordsman is not an employment relationship between an ordinary official and a caretaker.
They are close and close.
Therefore, when he saw the swordsman die in order to protect himself, his young heart naturally suffered a certain blow.
The man in the cloak and the little girl came behind the young man.
The little girl was quiet, she didn't speak.
But looking at the swordsman who would rather die than let go of the long sword, looking at this swordsman who did not hesitate to sacrifice his life to complete the mission, she seemed to have a glimmer of understanding in her heart.
She realized that perhaps the former rivers and lakes have not been forgotten by the people in the rivers and lakes, and perhaps the spirit of 'heavy commitment, light life and death' still exists in the hearts of the people in the rivers and lakes.
She realized that perhaps the word 'righteousness' back then had been combined with the word 'loyalty'.
Perhaps in the future, there will be fewer and fewer 'chivalrous people', but there will be many more 'loyal people'.
The man in the cloak lowered his head, looked at the young man, and said in a deep voice.
"People can't be resurrected after death, so let's bring these people to the yamen first."
His age, as well as his experience, allowed him to see farther than these two young men.
He knew that the most important thing at the moment was not mourning, but finding out the truth about the matter.
The moon is dark and the wind is high, and the street is murderous. And the object of the murder is still the 'prince' in Hangzhou City.
He killed three people, but let one escape.
He knew that after this person went back, he was afraid that he would make a comeback.
So, he needs to get to the bottom of the matter.
