312. 312 Crossing the river
Lin Ling'er's heart trembled, is this person calling them? Can she pretend she didn't hear?
Undoubtedly, that's not going to work.
Tuoba Jiuxiao held her hand tightly and tightly, as if telling her not to be nervous, and also reminding her to keep pretending to be dumb and not to show flaws, she understood.
The two of them turned around trembling slightly, nodding their heads like other ordinary people, and Tuoba Jiuxiao shouted in a hoarse voice:
"Official."
There can be about ten officers and soldiers in this team, although the number is not much, but they are all men, and it feels like a black oppressive piece to that station, which is quite oppressive.
The man who stopped them lifted the hat from their heads and began to scrutinize their faces.
Lin Ling'er was so nervous that her palms were sweating, and she was about to get on the boat, so don't make a mistake when she is about to kick the door.
I saw that the eyes of the officers and soldiers kept switching between the faces and hands of the two, and finally looked at Tuoba Jiuxiao's hair, and then looked at Lin Ling'er's headscarf.
"Captain, is there anything wrong with these two old guys?"
The officers and soldiers who didn't care about them asked a question, and they also walked up from behind the captain and began to look at them.
The captain didn't speak, his eyes became sharper and sharper, and finally, as if to confirm something, his hand stretched out to Lin Ling'er's headscarf.
At the same time, Tuoba Jiuxiao quickly took Lin Ling'er behind him, but the officer and soldier took a step faster and pulled Lin Ling'er's headscarf down a little, which made her hair exposed.
The captain of the officers and soldiers immediately took a step back, pulled out his long knife on the ground, pointed at Tuoba Jiuxiao and shouted:
"Sure enough, there is a fraud! I just said, since they are two elderly people, how can their hands be so young? Hair as black as ink? Say, "Who are you?" ”
Seeing that he drew his sword, the other officers and soldiers also drew their swords and faced each other, and their faces were solemn.
Tuoba Jiuxiao escorted Lin Ling'er and began to retreat, trying to get as close as possible to the awning boat, he lowered his voice and said:
"You get on board first."
She really regretted it, why did she forget these hands just thinking about fixing her face? No wonder people can see that how can the hands of two wrinkled old men be so smooth and delicate?
She was behind him, pulling his sleeve tightly, biting her lip and saying:
"What about you?"
He obviously didn't mean to be with her, she was in a hurry,
"You told me not to let go of your hand, I won't go."
It's not that she doesn't want to go, how can someone like her who is afraid of death want to die here?
But if she was gone, he stayed here, never to come back, and she didn't know what the point was even if she escaped.
The officers and men did not dare to act rashly, because they did not know their details, and it was not until one of them recognized their appearance as the person on the notice that they suddenly realized.
"Mu Jiuxiao?"
When they heard his name called, everyone subconsciously took a few steps back and distanced themselves from him.
Just this name is enough to deter everyone, the name of the God of War is not blown out, his prestige has already spread far and wide, not to mention that this time he killed the lord of the country, and he was able to escape from the palace with a woman who does not know martial arts, this is simply a fantasy, saying that he is not afraid of him, it is false.
"Someone...... Come! ”
The captain of the officers and men shouted loudly, and all the officers and men on the shore looked over when they heard the shouting, and when they saw the posture of drawing their swords, the atmosphere suddenly became extremely tense, and the officers and men rushed over one after another with their long knives.
In an instant, the people on the shore began to flee with their heads in their hands, for fear that this disaster would affect them, and other people's lives could be ignored, but no one would not care about their own lives.
Seeing that there were more and more people surrounding Tuoba Jiuxiao and Lin Ling'er, in the chaos, I only heard the captain of the officers and soldiers just now say:
"Mu Jiuxiao, you have been surrounded, if you know each other, you will be arrested obediently, if not, don't blame me for being unkind!"
There are many people on the other side, the two are surrounded by them, it is naturally not easy to escape, and now it is a confrontation with clear knives and guns, and there is no room for maneuver, how to get out?
At this moment, only a crisp whistle outside the encirclement could be heard piercing the sky, and in an instant, a group of black-clothed masked people poured out from all directions, and the number was naturally not as large as that of the officers and soldiers, but they all held different weapons and surrounded the officers and soldiers.
The encirclement and counter-encirclement were carried out at the same time, Mu Jiuxiao was inside, I don't know who it was outside, but it was obviously with Mu Jiuxiao, the officers and soldiers looked inside and outside, because they had no battle plan in advance, they lost their sense of proportion for a while, and they didn't know how to deal with it.
"Team, captain, where did these people come from, why haven't I seen them before?"
An officer and soldier beside the captain leaned his back against him and asked, his voice trembling, already a little frightened.
"How do I know? It is estimated that these people have already laid an ambush here, just waiting for Mu Jiuxiao to appear. ”
The captain lowered his voice and said.
"So, what do we do now?"
"What to do? Let's be hard-headed, even if we can catch the living one, even if we have a great life and made a meritorious service, even if there is no living one, it is okay to die, I am afraid that he will slip away from under our noses, and if the top is investigated, then we will not be able to eat and walk away. ”
"But, but...... Can we beat them? ”
You don't have to use your hands, just looking at those people's weapons is terrifying, and psychologically they have already lost.
"If you can fight, you have to fight if you can't fight, no matter how it's a death, give up this life, fight!"
The captain's face sank, and he suddenly shouted,
"Listen to it all for me, catch it alive, there is a lot of reward on it, give it to me!"
At any time, this reward is the greatest temptation, and at the captain's order, the officers and soldiers moved.
A group of people specially dealt with Tuoba Jiuxiao and Lin Ling'er inside, and another group of people dealt with the black-clothed people on the periphery, and in an instant, the Lingshui River crossing became a melee situation.
Some people saw that Lin Ling'er didn't know martial arts, so they wanted to start from her, but unfortunately, everyone who beat Lin Ling'er's idea became a ghost under the knife of Tuoba Jiuxiao, his knife was deadly, and he was merciless, while others, he left a way to live, and did not directly ask for their lives, everyone saw this, and no one dared to hit her idea.
Soon, the ranks of officers and soldiers were gradually decreasing, and the martial arts of the men in black were obviously much higher than this group of officers and soldiers, and it was not difficult to solve them at all.
Seeing that this scuffle should be almost over, the strong man on the boat stepped forward and took Lin Ling'er from Tuoba Jiuxiao's hands and covered her on the boat.
"Husband......"
Lin Ling'er shouted as she walked, even if she was separated from him for a second, her heart was full of uneasiness.
There are not many officers and soldiers left, and it is impossible to wait for rear support, so the officers and soldiers who still insist on it are left to the man in black to solve, and Tuoba Jiuxiao quickly caught up and took her hand.
Her hand was held by him, and an indescribable feeling suddenly passed from his palm, sweeping through her body, and her heart was filled in an instant.
He didn't have time to speak, so he took her and ran to the boat, and the strong man quickly untied the rope and rowed out of the ferry.
The rest of the officers and soldiers saw that they were getting farther and farther away from the river, and they were about to catch up with them with their long knives, but unfortunately, those officers and soldiers who wanted to catch up quickly fell to the men in black, and I am afraid that they will never catch up.
Lin Ling'er stood on the boat panting, holding Tuoba Jiuxiao's hand tightly, and saw a group of people fall sideways on the shore with her own eyes, and the tragic situation made her unbearable to witness.
At this time, I saw the group of black-clothed men kneeling down silently in the direction of the boat, putting their right hand into a fist in front of their left chest, and bowing their heads.
Tuoba Jiuxiao looked at them, and also clenched his right hand into a fist and placed it on his left chest, and shook it lightly twice, which was regarded as a return gift.
Lin Ling'er involuntarily buried her head in his arms, her arms tightly wrapped around his waist, did they successfully escape? In the past few days, she has been sleeping in the open air, messy, as if she has never been so chaotic since she was a child, finally came over, right?
Tuoba Jiuxiao seemed to see through her mind and gently hugged her.
The boat moved quickly but steadily, and the strong man rowed hard, as if he wanted to leave this place of right and wrong.
The sun was sinking more and more, and the red light on the river was gradually dimming, and it was slanting on the surface of the river.
On the bow of the boat, two people leaning against each other are shrouded in the slanting sun, adding a beautiful picture to the quiet river.
The qiē that happened by the Lingshui River soon reached Nangong Jue's ears, and he knew that once they crossed the river, their escape back to Wani would be just around the corner.
There were not many troops and horses to mobilize, and at this time, he sent people to quickly rush to all directions of pursuit, so that everyone withdrew to the Lingshui River and prepared to cross the river.
"Shencheng, take all the rest and cross the river with me overnight."
He put on a black cloak, covering his injured left arm, and walked non-stop to the outside of the yamen.
"But, General, your wounds ...... Or should I take someone with me? ”
Shen Cheng said worriedly, Nangong Jue was not Tuoba Jiuxiao's opponent in the first place, if the two of them met again, Nangong Jue might not be able to protect himself.
"Less nonsense, keep up."
Nangong never gave him a chance, and as he spoke, he had already stepped onto the sweaty BMW and hurried to the Lingshui River.
"Ling'er, wait for me ......"
It was the only thing he wanted to say at the moment.
In the canopy boat, Lin Ling'er snuggled in Tuoba Jiuxiao's arms and slept soundly.
From time to time, he tossed her drooping hair, or put his big palm on her lower abdomen to soothe their child, and it was time for her to rest in the rare tranquility.
Even if they cross the river, it does not mean that they are safe, and when they cross the river and return to Wani, when will it be truly safe.
The river was not very wide, and soon it reached the opposite bank.
After the boat arrived at the shore, the strong man tied the boat, took the lead in disembarking, and said respectfully:
"Lord Wang, Nangong Qingfeng's hand shouldn't have reached out here yet, so Lord Wang can be a little relieved."
