Chapter 158: A Narrow Encounter
At this time, Lin Yiqing and Chiho Kirino also heard an explosion like the sky and the earth cracking in the forest, Chiho Kirino got up and wanted to go over to watch the effect of this "artificial landslide", but was pulled by Lin Yiqing.
Chiho Kirino was about to ask, but she heard a roar, and several boulders rolled and rushed straight into the forest, breaking several small trees and rushing forward.
Seeing such a terrifying scene for the first time, Chiho Kirino couldn't help but lose her face, screamed, hugged Lin Yiqing's waist with both hands, and buried her face in his arms.
Although as the daughter of a samurai family, she has undergone strict samurai training, and she is not alarmed or in danger on weekdays, but at this moment, in the face of the terrible power of the landslide, she still exposed the weak side of her daughter's family, and she couldn't help but seek protection.
Lin Yiqing looked at Chiho Kirino, who looked like Xiaotong, and once again had an illusion, as if the real Xiaotong was in his arms, and his arms suddenly hugged her tightly in his arms.
An indescribable feeling of happiness spread all over her body, and Chiho Kirino felt more comfortable and warm in her heart than she had ever felt before, and her arms also hugged Lin Yiqing tightly.
The two of them hugged each other tightly, and time seemed to stand still at this moment, although there were still boulders rolling into the woods, but neither of them could feel it.
I don't know how long it took, when the surroundings fell silent again, Lin Yiqing came back to his senses, he knew that everything was over.
"Let's go! Let's go over and see. Lin Yiqing gently patted Chiho Kirino's back and said softly.
"Hmm......" Chiho Kirino's face turned crimson, and she reluctantly let go of Lin Yiqing, and the two got up and walked quickly to the outside of the forest.
When Lin Yiqing and Chiho Kirino came out of the dense forest and came to the hillside, they were also shocked when they looked at the mountain road that had been unrecognizable.
In the distance, a thin figure covered in dust stood dumbfounded.
"It's Yongsaku, he's coming." Lin Yiqing looked at the depressed Uehara Yusaku, and said to Chiho Kirino with some amusement.
"This time he knew he was wrong." Chiho Kirino smiled as she remembered the dispute between the master and apprentice about which road to set up an ambush.
At this time, Yusaku Uehara had already seen Lin Yiqing and Chiho Kirino, he wiped the dust on his face, and ran over quickly to this side.
Not long after, Yusaku Uehara came to Lin Yiqing and Chiho Kirino, Chiho Kirino looked at the "mud child" in front of him and couldn't help laughing.
"Teacher, I'...... Did you pass the exam? Yusaku Uehara looked up at Lin Yiqing, his eyes full of anticipation.
"Of course! You've passed my big test for you! Lin Yiqing nodded solemnly, "You are now the first graduate of the Navy Academy!" β
Hearing the teacher's words, Yusaku Uehara's tears instantly welled up in his eyes, and tears slid down his dusty masked cheeks, leaving two clear tear stains.
Seeing Yusaku Uehara's funny appearance, Chiho Kirino stepped forward with a smile, took out a handkerchief, and wiped the tears and dust from his face.
Chiho Kirino's hand holding the handkerchief was extremely gentle, gently caressing Yusaku Uehara's cheek, Yusaku Uehara had never felt so warm and happy, and couldn't help but be a little stupid for a while.
For him, this is the best reward given to him by Chiho Kirino, who is like a goddess in his eyes.
Chiho Kirino finished wiping Yusaku Uehara's face and helped him pat off the dust off his body, and Yusaku Uehara wearing a mask returned to his original appearance as a handsome young man.
"Let's see if there's any alive." Lin Yiqing looked around and said, "If there is, dispose of it." β
Yusaku Uehara certainly understood what the teacher meant by "dispose of", so he agreed, and was the first to jump down the hill and run towards the pile of rocks. After a while, he came to the pile of rubble, and began to search carefully.
Lin Yiqing and Chiho Kirino also came to the pile of rocks and searched separately.
Zhu Xueyan stood in the distance in a daze, looking ahead in amazement, and her heart was full of panic for a while.
At this time, Zhu Xueyan's hands were trembling.
Dynamite! It must be dynamite! In the midst of these barren mountains and mountains, some people actually came up with the idea of using explosives that were extremely strictly controlled by the imperial court to blow up the mountain! Who is this?
Zhu Xueyan is no stranger to explosives.
But she couldn't imagine what it would take to blow the cliff down!
If there is explosives on the mountain, it must be on the inside of the cliff, and the explosion point and the amount of explosives are definitely quite a lot, but the inside of the cliff is smooth and slippery, and it is extremely steep, and I can't imagine how to climb it. How much manpower, material resources, and time would it take to get so many explosives and put enough explosives to blow up the entire mountain without being noticed by passing merchants?
The Huang family is young and old, but there are more than 20 people! Who is so ruthless? So vicious?
If it weren't for the distance they had, the six people in their group who were responsible for the protection task would all be buried alive, and it would be impossible to leave a single living mouth at the scene!
Under such a natural danger, the earth-shattering power caused by the power of explosives, as long as it is flesh and blood, who can resist it?
"Fucking ruthless! Actually play this hand! Bai Jinqi obviously thought of what was going on, and couldn't help but scold, "Maybe there won't even be any bones left, it's really bad!" β
"More than 20 people, all of a sudden, it's gone...... Xiao Liu said in horror.
Thinking that Huang Shulan's family was destroyed like this, Zhu Xueyan's eyes were red, she slammed the horse and galloped out, wanting to understand. Seeing this, the five people behind her also rode up and followed.
Zhu Xueyan and the others galloped forward for a while, and when they came to the pile of rocks, she immediately saw that on the huge pile of stones like a mountain of stones, there were three people looking for something.
She recognized the three men at a glance, and in an instant her anger rose to the top, and she slammed her horse, raising the front hooves of the war horse under her, and let out a piercing neigh.
"It's that hard claw!" Bai Jinqi also recognized Lin Yiqing, and his face immediately changed.
"Dog thief! Sure enough, it's you! Take your life! Zhu Xueyan said sharply.
"Kill the dog thief!" Bai Jinqi was the first to shout, and suddenly drew an old-fashioned short-barreled musket behind his back, and rushed towards the three people standing on the stone pile.
When these six people appeared in Lin Yiqing's sight from a distance, Lin Yiqing had already realized that they might not be businessmen in the past, but because the identity of the other party was unknown, he didn't want to kill innocents, so he didn't immediately pull out his gun, but carefully observed.
"They're horse bandits, aren't they?" Chiho Kirino came to Lin Yiqing's side and asked.
And just when Chiho Kirino's voice fell, Zhu Xueyan's shouting had already come, and when she heard the sentence "take your life" in Zhu Xueyan's words, Chiho Kirino was taken aback.
