Chapter 10, The Last Sword

The two swords collided again, but at this time, Xin Qiubai acted as if he had no strength at all, instead of fighting hard, he actually needed to support his body when the two swords were put together.

"Abandon the sword, you can still live."

Zu Zhao warned again. To be honest, I do have three or two points of pity in my heart, but more importantly, I still have to leave this alive mouth and reveal the true identity of the main messenger behind the scenes of Yuyang County! This matter has been bothering him for a long time, since Ling Zhi defeated Niu Hai and Liu An in a row, the entire clue has almost been cut off, and the only progress is to know that the person who offered his head is from Yuyang County. Obviously, there must be someone in this Yuyang County who is operating the turmoil in Youbeiping County.

How can such culprits be left unchecked?

"Be cowardly, less hypocritical benevolence and righteousness!"

When Xin Qiubai said this, he already had a state of anger.

Zu Zhao's heart was fierce, and he suddenly took a step back, and at the same time withdrew his sword.

Losing the center of gravity of support, Xin Qiubai's weak body suddenly lost its balance, and staggered forward like a cicada's wings.

Zu Zhao dodged to avoid it, saving him from letting the opponent's fallen body hit him.

I thought that Xin Qiubai would definitely be planted at this time, but who knew that the other party seemed to know that the defeat was decided, and suddenly gathered all the liliang that was left, supporting his body and barely keeping it stable, and wanted to stab Zu Zhao with his backhand. Maybe it's a life-saving blow, or maybe it's just a dying throe.

However, this weak counterattack was not the same thing to Zu Zhao at all, and he easily blocked it with a sword in his hand. Then he saw that Xin Qiubai had already stood firm, and seemed to be about to launch a new counterattack, so he immediately acted like a thunderbolt, grabbed his long sword and stabbed straight at him.

Who knows, Xin Qiubai finally stood firm, and his figure was obviously stagnant, before he slowly turned around and faced Zu Zhao. She looked very tired and weak, the blood at the corners of her mouth had already flowed to her chin, and her eyes were filled with clear and crystal teardrops, which made her cold face suddenly darken, and she had no strength to lift the sword in her hand again.

Zu Zhao's eyebrows frowned slightly, and he hurriedly retracted his strength, although the long sword still stabbed the opponent's shoulder socket, it was only a flesh wound, and he did not continue to exert force.

"The victory is divided, give up the sword."

Xin Qiubai didn't throw away her sword, she slowly looked down at the sword wound in her shoulder socket, and then raised her eyes to look at Zu Zhao, her eyes were open and weak.

"I, no, abandon the sword."

Xin Qiubai said fragily, and suddenly, his figure suddenly moved forward.

Zu Zhao never expected that Xin Qiubai would choose to harm himself, and instinctively withdrew his sword to avoid Xin Qiubai directly letting the sword penetrate his shoulder bone when he pounced.

Xin Qiubai was like a withered maple leaf, torn and ravaged in the cold wind, and then swayed and fell. Her body leaned towards Zu Zhao, who thought she was about to pass out, so he didn't dodge anymore and was ready to reach out to catch her. Who knew that at this time, the corners of her blood-stained mouth couldn't help but raise a sneer like a poppy.

"You've been tricked."

Her body was still falling, but the hand holding the sword suddenly lifted.

Zu Zhao was shocked, he really didn't expect Xin Qiubai to be so tenacious, his body as fragile as a dry leaf, and he would give a desperate blow to the death at the moment of the unconscious Zuihou. It was too late for him to dodge at this time, after all, his center of gravity leaned forward to pick up someone, Xin Qiubai only needed to raise the sword in his hand and pounce over, and the blade would naturally pierce his abdomen.

Don't...... actually let a woman plot......

There was a muffled sound, and Zu Zhao felt that his abdomen was hit by something hard.

"Jingle bell" made another crisp sound, and it was the sound of a sword falling to the ground.

Xin Qiubai fell into Zu Zhao's arms, his cheek pressed against his chest, and he was completely unconscious.

Zu Zhao was stunned for a long time, his face full of astonishment.

Not far away, Li Xin rushed over, he also looked abnormal, and was about to reach out to tear Xin Qiubai away.

Zu Zhao said slowly: "It's okay, she has passed out." ”

Li Xin was surprised, he clearly saw Xin Qiubai stabbing at Zu Zhao with his sword, and immediately asked with concern: "Brother Zu, are you...... How are you now? I'm going to ...... a medical worker right away."

Zu Zhao's tone remained unchanged, and Xu Sheng said, "No need. The confusion on his face was slowly dissipating, replaced by a calm, and after a pause, he continued, "I'm fine, she's using the hilt of the sword." ”

Li Xin was stunned, looked down, and found that the sword that fell to the ground was indeed the sword of a female thief, and there was no bloodstained place behind Zu Zhao, so he was relieved. He sighed, looked depressed, and said, "This, what is this called?" Brother Zu, it's not that I'm too talkative, you obviously have many opportunities to take her life, why do you want to let it go again and again. ”

Zu Zhao said quietly: "I said that she knows a lot of important information. I don't want this thread to be broken again. ”

Li Xin was very puzzled and asked, "What kind of clue is it, what are you looking for?" ”

Zu Zhao hugged Xin Qiubai a little harder, and said as he walked towards the house: "I will tell Brother Xianyan in detail later, but for now, I have to take care of the aftermath first." ”

Li Xin was quite annoyed, but he was not so breathless, so he sighed angrily, and immediately called on his entourage to assist the people at the post station to treat the wounded.

At dawn the next day, Li Xin sent people to a nearby town to find someone to help at the post station, and after some busyness, Zhang Luo set off to continue to Xu Wu County. Until he hit the road, Xin Qiubai was still unconscious, but after a night's rest, his breath eased. It's a pity that Zu Zhao and Li Xin didn't prepare a carriage when they set off, and it was really difficult to deal with an unconscious female thief, so in the end Zu Zhao volunteered and was willing to ride the same horse with the female thief, and let Xin Qiubai sit in front of him and snuggle in his arms on the road.

Li Xin repeatedly asked that at least the female thief's hands be tied, so that the other party would not wake up and make trouble on the way.

However, Zu Zhao did not do this, firstly because of the convenience of the departure process, and secondly, he believed that with Xin Qiubai's current situation, it was almost impossible to make any more trouble. Of course, in addition, he was secretly aware in his heart that Xin Qiubai should not try to harm himself again, if he really wanted to take his own life, he would never temporarily change the head and tail of the sword last night.

Swapping the head and tail of the sword is a very deliberate move! ――
