Chapter 62: Encountering the Dead in Danger

The sudden change made Li Jia stunned, but he did not panic, but calmed down, hugged his shoulders and sneered, and watched coldly. Yuan Chen couldn't help but secretly admire in his heart, thinking that there were many people in the peasant rebel army who had experienced a big scene, if it was the case with King Chuang's subordinates, who in this world could really say who could get it.

Yuan Chen was thinking about it, and a person walked out of the torch, pointed a sword in one hand at Li Jia and said, "Anti-thief!" Don't be arrogant, get off your horse and surrender, you won't die! ”

Following the voice, Yuan Chen looked fixedly, only to see that the man's eyebrows were clear, his face was heroic, he was holding a sword in one hand, but the other sleeve was fluttering in the wind, as if he had lost his arm. It turned out to be really Duan Xuehong.

"Oh? Who are you? Li Jia saw that the person who came was talking to him, and he was no longer silent, and asked rhetorically.

Duan Xuehong was also unceremonious, and scolded: "Xiao'er, you were not qualified to ask my aunt and grandmother my name, but seeing that you are dying, it doesn't hurt to tell you." My aunt's surname is blood red, and she is a partial general next to General Wu in Jiangnan. ”

Yuan Chen hurriedly glanced at Wu Ruojie after hearing this, but Wu Ruojie did not react in the slightest, as if this matter seemed to have nothing to do with him. Li Jia sneered: "The lights were dim just now, I really didn't see it, it turned out to be a pretty woman, it's a pity, I don't know why I lost an arm and became disabled, but if you can serve Uncle Ben happily, maybe Uncle Ben won't dislike you." ”

"You fart!" Duan Xuehong glanced at Wu Ruojie, blushed, and scolded, "When death is imminent, you have to be hard-mouthed." ”

"Dying?" Li Jia sneered and said. "Didn't Hades send you to take our lives?"

"Although the king of Hades has no order, the general has an order!" After Duan Xuehong finished speaking, she waved the sword in her hand. Ordered: "Kill! ”

"Slow!" Li Jia raised his hand and shouted. The sergeants were stunned for a moment and slowed down. Duan Xuehong hurriedly asked, "What else do you have to say?" Don't you want to leave a last word? ”

"Humph!" Li Jia snorted with his nose and sneered, "You keep mentioning your General Wu, but why don't you show up when you capture me and others?" ”

This question caught Duan Xuehong off guard. was stunned for a moment, quickly glanced at Wu Ruojie, who was still expressionless, and then hurriedly said: "Use a knife to kill chickens?" Like you and other thieves. I'll take my life. ”

"That's not what you say, is it?" Li Jia also glanced at Wu Ruojie and smiled at him, "In my opinion, you General Wu not only do it yourself. And he was willing to go to Suzhou to deceive me so far. It's a lot of work. Yes and no? General Wu? ”

Wu Ruojie turned his head to look at Li Jia, and said with a sneer: "General Li, are you talking to me?" ”

"Otherwise?" Li Jia smiled, pulled the knife out of its sheath sharply, and raised his hand to slash. Wu Ruojie was startled, and hurriedly turned over and dismounted to dodge. The knife was slashing at the horse's back. Don't look at Li Jia's figure is not powerful, but this knife is extremely powerful, and the blade is extremely sharp. He was cut into the horse's back more than half a foot deep. The horses neighed in pain and galloped with their hooves raised. Straight to the front, Duan Xuehong left. Seeing this, Duan Xuehong hurriedly dodged sideways, and the horses rushed into the formation of officers and soldiers, causing a commotion. Seeing that the timing was good, Li Jia raised his hand and pointed at it, and his subordinates rode their horses and waved their knives and rushed forward.

In the horse formation, I don't know who stabbed Yuan Chen's horse in the buttocks, and Yuan Chen's horse also neighed and galloped out with the horse team. Seeing this, Wu Ruojie hurriedly got up from the ground, intending to step forward and pull down Yuan Chen from the horse, but unexpectedly Duan Xuehong shouted "General" and stepped forward and threw himself down. Yuan Chen watched as Wu Ruojie's hand slipped from his side.

"Shoot the arrows!" Duan Xuehong pressed Wu Ruojie under her and gave such an order. For a while, bows and crossbows rang out in unison, arrows flew randomly, and most of Li Jia's subordinates, including men and horses, fell in an instant.

"Don't let go of the arrows! Stop! Don't hurt Chen Yuanyuan! Wu Ruojie hurriedly pushed Duan Xuehong away and shouted hoarsely. It's a pity that the people are noisy, and after everyone heard his order clearly, Li Jia's soldiers were almost completely damaged.

"You!" Wu Ruojie pointed at Duan Xuehong's nose and wanted to get angry, but he still held back, waved his hand and ordered: "Quickly check if Chen Yuanyuan has been injured by mistake!" Fast! ”

All the soldiers listened to the order and hurriedly investigated, but after the investigation, there was no trace of Yuan Chen.

Wu Ruojie was extremely worried, and hurriedly ordered to guard the city gates everywhere and searched everywhere in the city.

Seeing this, Duan Xuehong hurriedly stepped forward and persuaded: "General, don't panic, Jiren has his own natural appearance, and he wants to round his sister......"

"Sister Yuanyuan?" Wu Ruojie twisted his face and glared at Duan Xuehong angrily, "Do you treat her as a sister?" When your sister was held hostage by the enemy, would you give the order to release the arrows? Would you do that? ”

"But ......" Duan Xuehong saw Wu Ruojie count her like this, her eyes were red, and she said aggrievedly, "I just saw that the general was in a critical situation at the time, and I didn't think much about the others. General, I really ......"

"You didn't think much of it?" Wu Ruojie scolded, "You don't think enough? You idiot! If it weren't for the few glances you gave me when I confronted Li Jia, why would my identity be revealed? I can't do this thing, what should I leave you to do? As he spoke, Wu Ruojie pulled out the knife from the waist of the soldier next to him, and raised his hand to make a knife.

Duan Xuehong let out a miserable scream of "ah", and knelt on her knees with a "poof", and a stream of blood left down the shoulder of her left arm, which had been removed. Wu Ruojie's knife was slashing into the scar, but because he was not an ancient person and did not know how to use a knife, the wound was not deep, but the condition was very terrifying.

Duan Xuehong knelt in the blood, trembling in pain, but she insisted on raising her head, her eyes full of sorrow and longing. Wu Ruojie looked at her, and suddenly felt that his heart felt like he had been stabbed by something, and he was in pain, so he let go of the big knife and closed his eyes. But Duan Xuehong also closed her eyes and passed out.

"Quick! Take Miss Duan back to heal and recuperate! Wu Ruojie hurriedly ordered, and said, "Step up the pursuit of Li Jia and Chen Yuanyuan's whereabouts." Play it by ear. ”

"Yes!" After the men responded with their fists clenched, they went their separate ways.

Although the night is deep, the whole Changzhou is still not sleeping, and there are crowds of people in the streets and alleys.

A group of soldiers had just swept by, and the light of the fire was also near and far. The surroundings were calm. At this time, a figure appeared at the entrance of the alley, and then waved his hand behind him and said, "General." It's safe for now. ”

"Okay." In the darkness, Li Jia's face full of hatred appeared. Behind him was Yuan Chen, who was held up by two big men. There were only three or five people left in the team just now.

"In any case, we have to get out of the city before dawn. Otherwise, it is really impossible to escape death. Li Jia said.

"But general, now the Ming army is strictly guarded. There may be ambushes everywhere, but how do we get out of the city? A soldier asked.

"Don't panic." Li Jia raised his hand and said, "Let me ask." "Finished. He turned to face Yuan Chen and sneered, "Tell me, where else can I get out of the city?" ”

"I, I don't know." Yuan Chen had just experienced a catastrophe. Panic. Stammered.

"Don't know?" Li Jia turned around, sneered, and suddenly slammed his hand back and slapped Yuan Chen loudly.

"Ahh Yuan Chen was beaten and screamed, but he was tightly held by the two big men and did not fall. This time, she felt that her cervical spine was almost broken, and the world was spinning.

Li Jia did not relent. He stepped forward and grabbed her hair again, and smiled with his face against his face: "How?" Sober up this time, right? ”

"I ...... I really don't know. Yuan Chen muttered.

"Don't know?" Li Jia laughed again. He foamed at the mouth and punched Yuan Chen in the stomach.

"Ahh Yuan Chen screamed again, so painful that beads of sweat slid down his cheeks, but Li Jia didn't pity the jade, and even punched a few times, and his fists were exchanged for Yuan Chen's cry, which sounded particularly harsh in the night.

"Don't say it yet?" Li Jia asked again.

"I ...... I really don't know. Yuan Chen begged bitterly, "Stop fighting." ”

"General," a big man may not be able to stand it anymore, and persuaded, "she may not know, if she continues to fight like this, I am afraid that she will be killed." ”

"Well," Li Jia gasped and nodded, "then kill her." ”

"Huh?" Dahan was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly asked, "General, isn't it a pity to kill such a woman?" If you can give it to ......"

"For a horse!" Li Jia suddenly glared and shouted, "We didn't have our lives to escape from the city, and if we took her, wouldn't we ask for trouble?" Do you not even want your lives to please King Chuang? The so-called 'stay in the green mountains, don't worry about no firewood', can your brains be a little brighter? ”

"Oh, yes, yes, thank you for the teaching." The big man hurriedly lowered his head and clenched his fists.

"I'll leave this matter to you, you go and get to know her." Li Jia said, "Actually, I can't see such a beautiful woman die, so you can go farther and do it." ”

Dahan looked at Yuan Chen, who was extremely frightened, hesitated, nodded, and then picked her up and walked deeper into the alley.

"General! General Lee! Please spare me. Yuan Chen cried out, "I can ask General Wu to intercede and beg him to let you out of the city!" ”

"Ha," after Li Jia heard this, he raised his hand, stopped the big man's movements, stepped forward, and said with a smile, "Remember, I am inseparable from your 'General Wu', I will not ask him, and I will not allow anyone to ask him on my behalf." After speaking, he took out a piece of cloth from his waist and stuffed it into Yuan Chen's mouth, making her cry.

Yuan Chen was struggling with tears in her eyes, and there was a "whine" sound in her mouth, but she still couldn't resist the big man dragging her into the depths of the alley.

Coming to an extremely dark corner, Dahan pushed Yuan Chen into the corner, drew his knife and said, "This beautiful lady, I am also acting on orders, don't blame me." As he spoke, he raised his hand and swung his knife. Just as Yuan Chen's frightened gaze stayed on the tip of the knife, he suddenly heard someone speak above his head: "This big man, you want to kill someone, and you still want people not to blame you?" It's delusional. ”

"Who?" The big man was startled, hurriedly made a defensive posture, and looked up.

I saw a black shadow floating down from the tree, and in the darkness, I could hardly see any movement, but I could only hear a "poof", and the big man actually fell in front of Yuan Chen's eyes, and the knife in his hand also fell to the ground with a "bang".

Yuan Chen was taken aback, not knowing who the person who came, whether he was friend or foe. But the comer came to her side, tore the cloth from his mouth, and whispered, "Yuanyuan, it's me." ”

"Who are you?" Seeing that the person who came actually knew him, Yuan Chen was even more surprised and hurriedly asked.

"I'm Liu Ming." The comer said.

"Liu Ming?" Yuan Chen was startled when he heard this, and hurriedly looked at the person through the faint starlight. Yes, it's Liu Ming.

"You...... Why did you come back? When they met again, Yuan Chen had mixed feelings in his heart, and he pondered for a long time before asking.

"It's a long story." Liu Ming's face was grim, and he said, "The front is very dangerous, you wait here first, let me solve those few people first." ”

"You?" Yuan Chen worried, "Those few people's martial arts are also extraordinary, especially that leader......

"Don't worry," Liu Ming said, "I'll be back in a moment." With that, he flashed and walked out of the alley.

Sure enough, after a while, Liu Ming returned. Yuan Chen looked him up and down a few times in great confusion, but he didn't see anything abnormal, and asked uneasily, "How is it?" ”

"I've taken care of those guys." Liu Ming said.

"What? This...... How is this possible? Yuan Chen was surprised. She didn't believe that Li Jia, who was still arrogant just now, had become a ghost under Liu Ming's knife.

"What's impossible?" Liu Ming said, helped Yuan Chen up, stretched out one hand to the crook of her leg, gently picked her up effortlessly, and then walked towards the mouth of the alley.

In the moonlight, Yuan Chen saw the corpses clearly, and sure enough, there was Li Jia among them, only to see him facing the sky on his back, his face distorted, and his face was frightened, as if he was frightened when he died. But there didn't seem to be any scars on his body, and I don't know what method Liu Ming used to kill him with one blow.

"That'...... What should we do next......" Yuan Chen didn't know what to do, and asked.

"We'll find a room in the city." Liu Ming said, "I'll make plans in a few days." ”

"What? Stay? Yuan Chen resisted in his heart and said, "Why don't you send me back to General Wu's mansion?" You're also just in time to settle your old suspicions with him. ”

"No!" Liu Ming shook his head and said, "If you want me to settle my old suspicions with him, it's impossible!" To tell you the truth, I came here this time to find an opportunity to take the life of Wu Sangui's dog! ”

"What? You ......" After Yuan Chen heard this, he panicked in his heart, but he didn't know how to persuade him.

"Yuanyuan, if you can trust me, just hide for a few days. Don't you want to know what state Wu Sangui will be in after losing you? Liu Ming asked.

"I ......" Yuan Chen lowered his head, muttered for a moment, and his heart fluctuated, but he suddenly woke up and asked, "How do you know that General Wu lost me?" ”

Liu Ming was stunned for a moment, and he also knew that he was speechless, and smiled awkwardly before he said: "I can't hide it, in fact, the confrontation you just now was in my eyes." If it weren't for the chaos that I couldn't control, maybe I would have stopped you a long time ago. (To be continued......)
