When I was a child, Si'er and I also played like this in Weishui, so I felt very kind when I looked at these two dolls, and I couldn't help but look at them a few more times.

The doll with the pigtails grinned when she saw me looking at him. As the big tub was approaching the boat, he suddenly lowered his head and splashed water on us.

Originally, it was nothing for me to play with him, but it happened that his splash of water was all sprinkled on Qi Hou, who bowed his head and was distracted.

Qi Hou once fell to the bottom of the clouds, seeing that he was about to be displaced again, so he felt extremely aggrieved, and when he looked up and saw a little broken child without pants daring to splash water at him, he was immediately ashamed and annoyed, he held the side of the boat and yelled at the two dolls: "The shaft is presumptuous!" Even you dare to come and insult the widow! ”

The doll with pigtails pursed her mouth, glanced at the big boy behind her, picked up the bamboo pipe in her hand and stuffed it into her mouth.

I was about to coax the kid when Wu Xian suddenly screamed and pressed Qi Hou's and Qi Hou's heads down hard.

"Whoosh-" The sound of arrows breaking through the sky passed dangerously over our heads.

"Ah Yu!" Shirtless and Qi Hou and I turned around and shouted. The boatman who was holding the boat then took out a penny that was more than a foot long and waved it at the two dolls. The two villains took a breath in unison, fell backwards, avoided Ah Yu's attack, and fell into the water and disappeared.

Qi Hou and I turned the overturned wooden basin over again, but there was no one underneath, leaving only a thin bamboo tube floating leisurely on the water.

"Zhao Wuxian!" Qi Hou covered his head and shouted loudly.

"The situation is critical, the foreign minister is rude, please forgive me." Shirtless sat and bowed.

Qi Hou looked at the big wooden basin in the water, and Xu realized something, and raised his hand in a daze.

Wuxian shook his head, and then picked up the small bamboo pipe he had just fished up and looked at it in his eyes.

"What is this? Why do I just seem to hear the sound of arrows? I leaned over to Shirtless and whispered.

Wuxian picked up a white grass scattered on the boat, poked it in the bamboo pipe with its rhizome, frowned and said, "I guess this is a blow arrow used by the southern barbarians, and the arrow is quenched for hunting." ”

"Blow arrows? Are you saying those two kids were Assassins? I was shocked when I heard this, and the thin pigtail with a red rope on the top of the little doll's head suddenly turned into a leather whip and slammed it on my heart. How so? Who sent these two children? Has our whereabouts been discovered by Chen Heng?

Qi Hou was obviously more frightened than me at this moment, he looked at the bamboo pipe in Wuxian's hand, and said in horror: "Why did the barbarians from the south come to Qi Country? Why do the children of barbarians kill widows? No, we can't go any further. Boatman – Dock! The widow wants to go ashore! ”

"No! After walking half a mile by water, we will go to Liuzhou, and it is too dangerous to go ashore at this time. Shirtless glanced at the dense woods on both sides of the river, and said.

"Isn't it dangerous to be on a ship? It must be that Chen Heng has already discovered us! The doll must have been the assassin he had sent. He is resolute in his daily work, it is impossible to send only these two children to assassinate the widow, there must be his ship in front of him! There must still be an ambush! Boatmen, boatmen—you get to the shore at once! Qi Hou was in a state of confusion at the moment, he grabbed the side of the boat tightly with his two hands, and raised his body suddenly, as if he wanted to rush up and snatch the penny in Ah Yu's hand.

The boatman named Ah Yu was Wuxian's subordinate, and Qi Hou yelled at him, but he didn't reply, only asked Wuxian with his eyes.

In this way, Qi Hou became more and more annoyed: "The widow ordered you to dock, didn't you hear?" ”

This section of the water just happens to flow through a tall camphor forest, and sitting on a boat, at least the river channel is spacious, and if a boat approaches in front and behind, we can also take precautions in advance. In contrast, walking through a dense forest is much more difficult, because it is difficult to predict where the enemy will suddenly rush out and take us by surprise.

But Qi Hou has become extremely sensitive because of today's mutations. Although he is a fallen monarch and has no authority to command us, in order to avoid a quarrel with him in the future, the more embarrassed he is now, the less we can despise his royal authority. This kind of truth is more clear than I can see. He nodded slightly at the boatman and scolded, "Ah Yu, didn't you hear what Your Excellency said? Dock! ”

The boatman named Ah Yu immediately turned around and changed the direction of his force, and pushed the boat towards the riverbank.

"There should be still a mile away from Liuzhoudu, everyone should be vigilant, and we must not be separated in the forest." After going ashore and hiding the boat, Wuxian took off the long sword on his back, took out a short dagger from his sleeve and handed it to me: "You put away this dagger, and you can defend yourself in case of any danger later." ”

"Hmm." I nodded and put the dagger in my sleeve, turned to Qi Hou and said, "Your Excellency, you follow me closely and try to step on where I walk, in case there are traps on the road." ”

"Got it." Qi Hou looked up at the tall and dense woods around him, listened to the strange cries of crows and partridges in the forest, swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and replied hoarsely.

"Ah Yu, I'll go ahead, you follow behind, be careful of the bushes on the left and right sides." Wuxian drew his sword and held it in his hand, and he looked at the shadowy forest path in front of him, revealing a blade-like cold look.

Ah Yu nodded, took out a pair of jet-black and shiny scimitars from the baggage in his hand, and walked behind Qi Hou and me.

"Let's go!" The four of us gathered up 120,000 points of spirit under the leadership of Wu Shirt, and carefully walked along the trail to the west.

After walking less than half a mile, Qi Hou suddenly stopped and grabbed my sleeve: "There are people there!" There's someone in the bushes watching us over there! ”

I was startled, and I hurriedly stopped and looked in the direction of his finger. No one was seen, only three dwarf bushes with small pale yellow fruits. "Don't be nervous, that's a sour fruit pear, the fox's favorite food, maybe there's a fox hiding in it! We'll be there soon, let's go! ”

"No, I hear you! I hear them coming! The princes' sword worn by the Marquis of Qi was too eye-catching because the hilt and scabbard were inlaid with red kyanite, so when he was on the ship, he was wrapped in a layer of green cloth without a shirt, and then he tore off the green cloth and threw it on the ground, pulled out the sword that overflowed with cold light, and shouted at the dense forest: "Shuzi Xiaoer!" If any of you wants to assassinate a widow today, the widow will stab him to death with a sword. ”

"Your Excellency, you can't shout ......" I covered Qi Hou's mouth.

Wuxian frowned, picked up a small stone from the ground and threw it into the bushes. A small gray fox with a pointed head and pointed ears and a big fluffy tail came out of it with a "whoosh".

Qi Hou carried his sword, his face full of shame.

"Let's go, we can't delay any longer." Hiding his anger, he continued to walk forward with his sword.

I put my hands on Qi Hou and quickened my pace.

But this time, before he could take a few steps, Shirtless suddenly stopped.

"What's wrong?"

"There's someone up ahead."

"Where?"

"It's coming! Stand back—"

Before he finished speaking, the sound of the strings breaking in the woods suddenly started, and several arrows shot through the air!

Whoosh, the sharp cold light hit Qi Hou beside me. Seeing this, Ah Yu jumped up suddenly, stretched out his arms and turned into a green shadow, and suddenly jumped into the air. A few white lights flashed, and several broken arrows fell to the ground one after another.

"Man in the tree!" Wuxian shouted, landed on the ground and took three steps back, pushing me and the stunned Qi Hou behind a big tree.

In the air, the sound of strings ringing again! Shirtless turned sideways, grabbed a broken arrow from the ground, and threw it violently. Two feet away, an archer in a dark green suit fell from a tall tree. Without the slightest froze at his feet, he swung his sword and arrows in a row, then soared into the air and dragged an archer down from another tree, nailing him to death under the tree.

On the other side, Ah Yu has also climbed a big tree. He was born black and thin, and now he went up the tree, and was as light and nimble as an ape, and jumped into the big tree where the archers were ambushing in a few leaps. The archer reflexively drew his bow to shoot, but his two scimitars grabbed his head. In the shadow of the tree, the light of the cross knife flashed, and a human head fell to the ground.

At this moment, there was a sudden sound of chaotic footsteps around the woods.

The voices of those stepping on the fallen leaves and broken branches are rapid and powerful, they come from far and near, like a surging tide rushing from all directions.

We're surrounded.

In the middle of the dense forest, a group of soldiers in leather armor with ghostly faces suddenly appeared around us. Their expressions were solemn, their eyes were blazing, and each of them held a short-poleed crescent halberd in their hands, which shone with cold light.

One of the leading men of the soldiers held a large black lacquer shield in his left hand and a bronze crescent halberd in his right hand, which he struck with every step he took. The crowd shouted and took a step forward. The deafening roar startled the birds in the forest. The cold weapons that were approaching step by step soon trapped us in an encirclement of less than two feet.

This formation was originally a lore formation used to destroy the remnants of the enemy after the two armies faced off on the battlefield, and at this moment it suddenly appeared in the dense forest, which made me tremble.

Wuxian and Ah Yu were waiting for me, I pulled out the dagger in my sleeve, and the Marquis of Qi also picked up his princes' sword. All of a sudden, the aura of murder permeated all directions.

At this moment, a sharp whistle suddenly sounded in the forest. The soldiers jerked their feet, stomped heavily on the spot, and stopped.

Behind them, a white horse swayed out of the trees.

The horse is snow-colored, strong and tall, with red brands and silver whips, and very handsome. Immediately sat a young man wearing a jade crown and a purple brocade robe. The man was twenty-one or twelve years old, thin and pale, his face was not handsome, and he was not even worthy of the white jade cloud crown on his head. But his eyes were very good, watery and full of aura, even if there was only dappled sunlight in the forest at the moment, those eyes were still shining.

I was familiar with these eyes, and when their owners painted my eyebrows, they were as playful and shimmering as they are now. That was the first time I saw a man with a pair of playful and smiling eyes.

"You're coming sooner than I expected!" Siren Bi rode on the horse, kicked the horse's belly lightly and paced left and right behind the soldier, "I really didn't expect that the Xiangfu army didn't stop you, Zhao Wuxian, you are really a character." ”
