handed over the things of the cottage to Zhang Zhongjian and Daxi Changru to take care of, and he himself and Luo Fu and others were preparing to go to Liaodong. Only Li Xian knew the specific time when the Great Sui launched a war against Goguryeo, and he was still very rich, so there was no need to rush away. Therefore, there is no need to prepare one person and two horses, and it is planned to set off after the New Year to reach the Liaoshui River before the imperial army. Li Xian planned to cross the river first and wait, otherwise it would be difficult to cross the river as soon as the armies of the imperial court arrived.

He planned to cross the Liao River from Yan County, and then find a suitable place to hide on the east bank of the Liao River, waiting for the various armies of the Great Sui to arrive. The first battle of the Great Sui to attack Liaodong was extremely tragic, the Goguryeo general Eulzhi Wende arranged an army of 200,000 on the east bank of the Liao River, and the Great Sui lost the old general Mai Tie Staff in the first day of the battle, which has to be said to be a very unfavorable start.

On Chinese New Year's Eve, Li Xian took a bow and arrow straight out of the cottage, ready to go with Chen Que'er Luo Fu and others to hunt some game to fill a few dishes for the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner. Xiao Di and Ou Si Qingqing also followed, and a group of more than ten people left the camp and walked deep into the woods.

Along the way, Xiao Di pulled Ou Siqing's hand and jumped happily like a deer, and the two beauties, one big and one small, added a lot of vitality and vitality to the somewhat slaughtered forest in the harsh winter. Xiao Di studied medicine by the side of the old man Xu Zhizang all the time, and it was almost the same as Li Xian's hard work. She is only an eleven-year-old girl, and it is really admirable that she can have this perseverance. Li Xian was afraid that she would be tired, so he specially told Xu Zhizang to take her out for a good day.

It snowed heavily the night before yesterday, and the snowy scenery of the mountains and forests reminded Li Xian of the first time he met Ou Siqingqing. It's just that there are more people to accompany you, and there is less of that cute snow sculpture little gray gray.

Xiao Di's happiness is still very simple, a hare stuck in the snow and unable to pull out her legs will make her happy for a while. There are a lot of wild animals on Yanshan, and after snowfall, it is very beneficial for hunting. It was silvery white in all directions, and even if a hare from a hundred meters away escaped, it couldn't hide from everyone's eyes.

"Brother Ann! Quick, help me get that rabbit! ”

Xiao Di pointed to the fat rabbit that had been clumsy in the distance and screamed, jumping to urge Li Xian to go quickly. Li Xian didn't bother to pull his bow and arrows, so he arrogantly picked up a fist-sized stone and checked it in his hand, and then squinted his eyes and aimed at it for a long time and beat the stone out. The stone made a beautiful arc in mid-air, and then it was off the rails. The frightened rabbit first stiffened in place, and then ran out into the distance.

"Brother Anzhi is so stupid!"

Xiao Di said disappointedly.

Li Xian smiled and said, "Don't worry, I promise to catch you back." ”

He handed the black straight knife to Chen Qi'er, and his short body suddenly exerted force under his feet, and he rushed out like a cheetah. As the snow rushes, the snow foam sparkles in the sun. More than a foot of snow can trap the four legs of a hare, but Li Xian is as light as a snake swimming on the tip of the grass when he runs, and I don't know how he did it, except for the impact that burst out at the beginning and smashed the snow on the ground, his feet did not leave too deep marks on the snow during the run.

Catching up with the hare on foot, Li Xian bent down and grabbed the rabbit's ears very quickly, and then showed off his surname and waved it at the crowd in the distance, the rabbit looked at him innocently, and let out a few exclamations like a baby's cry. Li Xianqu flicked his finger on the door of the hare's head and said to himself: "What is the noise, tonight's Chinese New Year's Eve dinner will take you to stew a pot of meat!" ”

The rabbit seemed to understand him, and stomped on both hind legs desperately.

As he was walking back, Li Xian suddenly felt something shake his eyes.

Li Xian was all too familiar with this kind of flash, and he knew that it was the cold glow of the blade flashing in the sunlight. He subconsciously touched the straight knife on his waist, but found that the knife was in Chen Qi'er's hand a hundred meters away. Carrying the hare, Li Xian turned to look to the side.

Dozens of meters away, there was something reflecting the sun's rays.

Li Xian gestured to the people in the distance, and then took the lead and walked there. After walking more than a dozen steps, it gradually became clear that there was a person lying motionless in the snow. Maybe it was because the man had lost control when he fell, and his body was almost buried in the snow. So Li Xian didn't see the man until he got closer, and saw the horizontal knife that was discarded on the side.

Woman?

Li Xian frowned and threw the hare aside.

The rabbit that had survived the death ran away as if it were dead on its hind legs, without even looking back. Li Xian touched the dagger in the deerskin pouch and walked slowly to the man's side. It was a woman, not very tall, the clothes on her back had been soaked with blood, and there was a knife wound on her back, very deep, but it didn't seem to hurt the bones. It's just that the knife is too big, and the blood is still seeping out, and it hasn't frozen, so it can be seen that this woman hasn't been here for long.

Li Xian found that this woman's back was a little familiar, but he couldn't remember who it was for a while.

Sure that the woman was incapable of hurting people, Li Xian squatted down beside her. Reaching out and probing her neck, he could feel a faint throbbing. Li Xian first took out the gold sore medicine from the deerskin pouch and poured it on the woman's back, then picked her up and flipped her over.

It's her!?

When he saw the woman's face clearly, Li Xian was stunned for a moment, and then frowned.

No luan

It was the woman who had assassinated her twice.

Li Xian tore open the clothes behind Wuluan, took out some medicinal powder and poured it on it, and tore off a piece of clothing to bandage the wound. Then he untied the water bag from his waist and slowly poured some into her mouth.

The cold water entrance, Wu Luan coughed a few times and woke up faintly. Her brow furrowed tightly, the corners of her mouth moved a few times, and she slowly opened her eyes. When she opened her eyes, she couldn't see anything clearly, she just vaguely felt as if she was being held in her arms. It took a while for her vision to become clearer. When she saw that it was Li Xian who was holding her, she subconsciously struggled and pulled the wound, and she couldn't help but moan in pain.

"If you don't want to die, be honest."

Li Xian said coldly while bandaging his wounds.

Wuluan struggled for a while, and suddenly remembered something, and grabbed Li Xian's hand, and said almost pleadingly: "Please, save Miss!" ”

Li Xian was taken aback: "Miss? Ashina Duoduo or Ye Huaisleeve? ”

Wu Luan said eagerly: "Yes...... Miss Duoduo, Luo Yi sent someone to chase and kill us, Miss fled into the forest in front, and Luo Yi's men have already chased ...... Catch up, please, please! Save Miss! ”

Li Xian didn't move, but asked after bandaging the wound very seriously: "Tell me first, why did Luo Yi send someone to hunt you down." I don't know, I'm not going to make a move. ”

Wu Luan's eyes changed, and then he glanced at Li Xian resentfully: "I know you hate me, as long as you save Miss, whatever... Whatever you do with me, kill ...... If you want to kill, you have to scrape! I just beg you, save my young lady. ”

Li Xian shook his head: "What do I hate you for, if you have the strength, you might as well say what you have to say." How many people did Luo Yi send and how long have they been. ”

As he spoke, Li Xian looked at the number of footprints.

Ye Huaisleeve...... forced Miss to marry Luo Yi's son, but Miss didn't agree. Luo Yi wants to detain Miss and force Khan to send troops, we ...... Escaping from Youzhou, more than a dozen people pursued and killed us. ”

Wu Luan gasped and said.

Li Xian let go of her hand, Wuluan fell to the ground, she frowned tightly in pain, and seeing Li Xian's cold gaze, her pale face became even more bloodless.

"Tell me the truth, or don't expect me to do it."

"At least fifty people, all ...... Master. ”

Li Xian glanced back at Chen Qi'er and the others who walked to his side, pointed at Wuluan and said, "Brother Little Bird, you take Qingqing Xiaodi and take this crazy woman back first." I'll go take a look. ”

"No!"

Wuluan struggled to stand up, and looked at Li Xian with a firm gaze: "Take me!" ”

Li Xian frowned and said, "Can you run?" ”

Wu Luan said stubbornly: "Give it to me again...... Drink a sip of water, you can't leave me! ”

Li Xian handed over the water bag with an expressionless face: "If you run again, you will bleed too much and die." ”

Wuluan took a sip of water and shook his head slowly: "If I can't see Miss, I can't die!" Moreover, Miss and I were running separately, and I was going to put ...... Lured the pursuers away, but they weren't fooled. What if Miss is hiding...... It's just me, only I know the code. ”

Li Xian said: "You can tell me." ”

Wuluan shook his head and said firmly, "No, take me with you." ”

……

……

In the dense forest, Ashina Duoduo gritted his teeth and cut off the feather arrow on his shoulder, and then tore his clothes to cover the wound. She turned her head to look into the distance, and there was a vague figure catching up.

No luan

Ashina Duoduo took a deep breath and said in his heart: Wuluan, are you still alive?

There were a few crazy roars of mastiffs in the distance, Ashinaduo's face changed, she stood up and continued to run out towards the depths of the dense forest, she seemed to have exhausted her strength, and her feet were as heavy as lead. The barking of dogs behind him grew louder and louder, and the elite scouts dressed in white chased after them more and more. She really didn't expect that she had escaped from Youzhou overnight, but she still didn't get rid of the pursuers sent by Luo Yi.

They took mastiffs with them, and no matter how much they and Wuluan changed their course, they couldn't get rid of them. finally rushed to Yanshan, and seeing that they were about to enter the grassland, Luo Yi's scout team finally caught up with them. In order to escape, Wu Luan shouted and ran away in the other direction, trying to lure the pursuers away. She didn't have time to stop it, and wanted to run after Wuluan, but the words that Wuluan shouted when she turned around made her stop.

"Miss! We can't both die! You go back and tell Khan Luo Yi's intentions! ”

was stunned, and Wu Luan had already run away.

Ashina Duoduo regretted it and regretted that he didn't catch up.

Tell Khan Luo Yi's intentions?

Ashina smiled miserably, feeling ridiculous. Whether it is Luo Yi or the father Khan who is obedient to him, don't they have the same intentions for themselves? It's all about taking advantage of yourself, isn't it because of the hateful so-called wolf head birthmark on your shoulder? Is fatherly love really fatherly love? Is that man really a father?

She gritted her teeth and ran forward, gradually losing consciousness.

She just ran mechanically, and in the end even her thoughts went blank.

A huge mastiff pounced from behind, its sharp fangs reflecting a faint blue glow in the sunlight. The blood basin bit down on Ashina Duoduo's waist, and the sharp fangs could directly tear off a piece of bloody flesh.

Burst!

Bloodshed.

A blood flower like a plum blossom bloomed in the snow, and with a terrible hiss, the huge mastiff was pierced through its neck by an armor-piercing cone, and it struggled unwillingly, but could not stand up again. Under the desperate gaze of the mastiff, the woman, who had already exhausted her strength, threw herself forward.

Six or seven feathered arrows shot over, knocking over several white-clothed pursuers not far away. Soon, the pursuers were immediately hidden. In the snow and dense forest, they were dressed in white, although they knew that it was not far away, but it was difficult to find it for a while!

A white-clad scout cautiously looked up from the snow and looked into the distance.

Suddenly, a huge black shadow fell from the sky, and an outrageously long black straight nail pierced through the back of his neck and nailed to the ground.

"Have you ever reported a murder on my territory?"

Li Xian stabbed a man in white to death, and then dodged behind a tree.

What does Luo Yi want to do?

Li Xian pursed his lips, his mind spinning rapidly.

Forcing Ashina Jishi to send troops, did he want to block the army of the Great Sui to conquer Goryeo in Liaodong?
