Chapter 20: Interception
The carriage sped forward. (๏ผใ Snow sign took Hawkeye's place, sitting outside and driving the carriage. It's getting dark. The setting sun stained the surrounding woods orange.
As the carriage was about to run into the woods, Snow suddenly grabbed the reins. Looking at the woods in front of him, Xue Zheng's face condensed with a fierce color.
The carriage came to a sudden stop, and Hawkeye hurriedly walked out of the carriage with the child in his arms. He didn't ask Xue Zheng why he stopped the carriage, but just looked at the woods in front of him like Xue Zheng, with murderous anger in his eyes.
"Hawkeye, protect the kids!"
Xue Zheng stepped out of the carriage. shouted to the woods not far away,
"I'm just passing through here, and I hope you will raise your noble hands and put them in the past."
A gust of wind blew, setting off the yellow and rustling of dead leaves all over the place. But no one responded to Xue Zheng's shout.
Hawkeye leaned over to Xue Zheng's side and whispered,
"Master, don't talk to them, let your subordinates kill them!"
Xue Zheng glanced at Eagle Eye and said,
"No, we are in the light, they are in the dark, this is in the wilderness, we don't know the surrounding terrain at all, we don't know how many of them there are, maybe there are some traps ahead, although your martial arts are high, but if you rush through it recklessly, you won't be able to take advantage of it at all, and you will probably die because of it." Let's be cautious. โ
Glancing ahead, Xue Zheng said to Hawkeye again,
"They didn't respond right away, which shows that they were hesitating. If we can easily detect their existence, they will surely guess that we are not ordinary people. Before the emperor came, he had already ordered the Silent Word to bring someone to meet him in a small town not far ahead, as long as we rushed through here. Play it by ear! โ
"Yes!"
Hawkeye held the child tightly with one hand and the dagger at his waist with the other, and he would not hesitate to stand in front of Xue Zheng at the slightest movement.
Xue Zheng was about to say something more to the woods. But he heard a man's voice in the woods.
"Leave the children behind, and you can leave! Otherwise, today next year will be your death day! โ
Xue Zheng frowned, the light in his eyes had already shot into the woods, and he said three words,
"Can't do it!"
"Then don't blame us for being rude!"
As soon as the words fell, only the sound of "whooshing" was heard, and dozens of feathered arrows shot out of the woods, aiming directly at Xue Zheng and Hawkeye. (Please remember our web address.)
Seeing the sudden change in the situation, Eagle Eye hurriedly blocked in front of Xue Zheng, holding the child in one hand, and pulling out the dagger at his waist with the other hand, and waving it in front of him, blocking the dozen feather arrows one by one.
"Master, you retreat to the back of the carriage first, and let your subordinates go and deal with them!"
Xue Zheng took the child from Hawkeye's arms and admonished,
"Be careful, there must be a lot of them, don't fall in love with the war, the form is not good for us, it's best to get out of here quickly!"
"My subordinates understand!"
Hawkeye escorted Snow Signs to the carriage, then turned to face the woods, his eyes sinister. At this moment, another round of feathered arrows was fired. Xue Zheng hid behind the carriage with the child in his arms, and the feather arrow hit the carriage with a thumping sound. The eagle eye flashed and disappeared in place in the blink of an eye, so fast that it was imperceptible to ordinary people.
Seeing that the arrow failed, the hidden hiders in the woods all showed their original bodies, and dozens of black-clothed people with white masks on their faces and long knives in their hands rushed towards the carriage together.
Although Xue Zheng knows martial arts, he has not practiced martial arts for a long time, and he is just a few skins. Even self-preservation has some problems, not to mention that at this moment he is still holding a child who has just reached the full moon in his arms.
Seeing that those black-clothed people had rushed to the front of him, he only heard two pops, and the two black-clothed men who rushed to the front suddenly stiffened and fell directly to the ground, and a blood hole appeared behind them, and blood kept pouring out of it. The two men in black were already dead and couldn't die anymore. It turned out that Hawkeye, with his speed beyond the search for people, took the opportunity to come behind the black-clothed people and kill them in seconds when they couldn't notice it.
Although this trick is useful, it solves the urgent need for Xuezheng, but these black-clothed people are not fools, this trick can not be used a second time, facing the dozens of black-clothed people left in front of them, they slowly surrounded the carriage, and a trace of bad premonition in Xuezheng's heart spontaneously appeared.
Looking down at the baby girl in his arms, he secretly swore in his heart that he would never let the baby girl in his arms die here, otherwise, if Qingquan knew, he would definitely be in pain, and he would not forgive himself even if he died.
"Who the hell are you? What do you want? โ
Facing everyone, Xue Zheng asked again.
One of the men in black came out and said,
"You don't need to know our identity, we just need that child, as long as you put her down, we can let you go! Give you one last chance, is it to let go of the child, or to die? โ
While Xue Zheng and Hawkeye were in a stalemate with the dozens of black-clothed people around them, there were two people standing in the small forest not far away, watching the situation.
Bai Xixie was dressed in a black robe, his slender body stood in the forest wind like an aspen, and his long black hair was sprinkled behind him, but a strand of white hair at the corner of his forehead was particularly eye-catching. That world-shattering face has no expression. The deep eyes looked coldly at the Qiฤ that happened not far away.
"Lord Wang, do your subordinates want to go up and help?"
The man behind him stepped forward and asked.
Bai Xixie said calmly,
"Wait!"
The man retreated.
At this time, the black-clothed people around the carriage had already begun to move, approaching the carriage step by step. Xue Zheng suddenly asked the man in black,
"If you want this child, you must know the child's background."
"Of course!"
Or the man in black replied,
"Now that you know, can you sue me, who is going to beat this kid's idea?"
"Hmph, since she is the child of the crown princess of the Heavenly Star Kingdom, then she should not be born in this world! If you want to ask, go underground and ask Hades! Give it to me, not a single one! โ
The men in black no longer stopped and rushed to the carriage together. Hawkeye fends off the black-clad man in front of Snow Signs and the child. But after all, he was outnumbered, and gradually Hawkeye began to be a little unbearable, and his body was slashed by a long knife with a handle, revealing a series of oozing blood.
Bai Xixie, who was in the woods, suddenly changed his face and said to the man behind him,
"Fengzhu, kill them and leave a living mouth!"
"Yes!"
Feng Zhu took a cold body, and rushed towards those black-clothed people with an arrow step. With a sudden swing of his hand, more than a dozen arrows and darts shot into the bodies of more than a dozen black-clothed people without missing a miss, and those black-clothed people who were hit by darts fell in response to the sound and immediately stopped breathing.
The sudden change made those men in black a little hurried and began to panic.
But before they could react, Feng Zhu had already come to them, and a jet-black long sword in his hand instantly pierced the body of one of the black-clothed men. Seeing that someone was coming to help, Eagle Eye hurriedly waved his hand and used the dagger in his hand to cut the neck of the man in black in front of him. It was only a dozen breaths before and after, and there were only eight people left of the dozens of black-clothed people.
The man in black who took the lead, seeing that the shape was not good, hurriedly ordered a retreat. But before they could take a few steps, a dark shadow suddenly came to them, and with a sword in his hand, seven of the eight fell to the ground and lost their lives. The last one left was the boss. Seeing the handsome man in front of him, he was directly frightened to the ground, Bai Xixie's beautiful face was as cold as ice, and it penetrated the heart of the man in black.
"Who sent you?"
The tone was calm, but there was an invisible coercion.
The man in black on the ground had already begun to tremble, and finally closed his eyes, bit off his tongue fiercely, and fell to the ground and died.
Bai Xixie didn't have time to stop it, but just glanced at it with disdain and turned to look at Xue Zheng.
Walking in front of Xue Zheng step by step, Bai Xixie's eyes never left the child in his arms. When such a drastic thing happened, the baby girl in swaddling clothes was still asleep soundly.
Bai Xixie's face, which was originally unmoved by anything, suddenly showed a trace of pain.
"It's her baby! It's a child with a pure heart! โ
