Chapter 35: Arrival at Witchham
Zhu Hai barely supported his body, if it weren't for Wu Jian's left hand still in his chest, Zhu Hai would have fallen to the ground, Zhu Hai clearly felt that he was approaching the limit, and the qi and blood surging in his chest were like a flood that burst the embankment, but the closer he got to death, the clearer his consciousness became, as a killer, it was not the first time he felt the taste of death.
Although life and death are fateful, I still have to fight with the sky.
"When I learned who you were, I finally understood why you knew so much about us Yama Onicha. Zhu Hai raised his somewhat blurred gaze, his tone was weak but the words were still clearly audible, "Because she is also in the Yama Ghost Mission, and you are looking for her." ”
Hearing this, Wu Jian's face changed slightly, his brows furrowed again, although he didn't say his name, but Wu Jian knew who Zhu Hai was talking about, and she was indeed the reason why Wu Jian investigated the Yama Ghost Poor, and Wu Jian would naturally pay attention to any news about her.
"I knew you wanted to know from you. Seeing that Wu Jian was indeed moved, Zhu Hai further tempted, "How about it, how about I make a deal with you?"
"Do you want me to spare your life?" Wu Jian probably guessed Zhu Hai's purpose, but if he could find out about her, Wu Jian decided to give it a try.
"You let me go, and I'll tell you where she is now?" said Zhu Hai on his terms of the deal. And this condition is indeed very tempting for Wu Jian.
"Okay, then you tell me now, I promise, you won't die today. Wu Jian thought for a moment and then responded.
"Okay, General Mo, I believe your words. Zhu Hai's aura gradually became undulating, and every word was consuming his meager life, "Actually, you don't need to go to her, because she will be here soon." ”
"What?" Wu Jian asked with some suspicion, "You mean she's coming to Wuxian City?"
"That's right, because someone paid a high price to buy the head of the master of Wuxian City, An Shice, in five days...... cough cough cough ......" Halfway through his words, Zhu Hai couldn't help but spurt a mouthful of blood from his throat, and his breathing began to become rapid and unsteady.
"Hey, what do you say will happen in five days?" Wu Jian obviously became anxious, could it be that she would come to Wuxian City in five days?
However, Zhu Hai seemed weak, but at this time, his face was cold, his pupils flashed, seeing Wu Jian's carelessness, he was defenseless, and suddenly his right hand was aimed at Wu Jian's heart.
"It's cloudy. "This palm didn't have much power, but it hit Wu Jian's heart very accurately. Wu Jian only felt a very cold force injected into his heart, like a needle prick, and then this feeling seemed to take root, starting to spread from a certain point in his heart.
Zhu Hai held up the last of his strength, and his face was weak and pale with a cruel smile, "Hahaha, General Mo, you are dead." ”
"Despicable, instantaneous. ”
Just when Zhu Hai thought he had succeeded, not far away, a sharp edge, very dazzling, burst out in an instant.
Yang Ming's light blade shot directly at Zhu Hai's head, but he didn't expect that although Zhu Hai's life was dying, he still sensed the crisis, and in a moment, he fell backwards, so the light blade did not hit his head, but it scratched Zhu Hai's left eye, and suddenly a pool of blood burst out from Zhu Hai's left eye.
At the same time, as Zhu Hai's body retreated, Wu Jian's left hand was also pulled out of his chest, and blood gushed out in an instant.
Yang Ming and the others hurriedly rushed over, only to see Wu Jian's body shaking, as if he was about to fall to the ground, Yang Ming hurriedly held Wu Jian's arm,
"Uncle, what's wrong with you?"
"Why are you here?" Wu Jian's face was as pale as paper, and his tone was very weak, but he couldn't see where his injuries were. His eyes swept over the crowd and he was a little relieved to see that several people were safe and sound.
"We're worried about you. Yang Ming said worriedly.
Wu Jian breathed a sigh of relief, he didn't care about asking for details, he hurriedly said to Yang Ming: "Hurry, you can't let Zhu Hai go." ”
Following Wu Jian's line of sight, Zhu Hai struggled to get up from the ground, but it was limited to that, his left eye was constantly dripping with red blood, staining half of his face, and there were large blood stains on his chest, even if he covered it with his hands, he couldn't stop the blood gushing out. At this moment, he no longer has the strength to fight.
Yang Ming raised the blade of his sword, tried his best to suppress the fluctuations in his heart, and walked towards Zhu Hai. However, at this moment, more than a dozen figures suddenly jumped out of the forest, all of them holding swords and wearing black armor, and behind them, there was a sedan chair carried by four people.
The sedan chair is very gorgeous and luxurious, and every flower that dots it is a strange flower that Yang Ming has never seen, and the air is instantly filled with the fragrance of flowers. When the sedan chair stopped, a familiar voice came from inside,
"Who is so bold as to dare to fight outside Wuxian City?"
As the voice fell, a beautiful girl walked down from the sedan chair, she was dressed in a gorgeous outfit, and the forest outside the wilderness seemed so incompatible, the delicate silhouette and charming facial features, all the time exuding a charming atmosphere.
"Su Buying. Yang Ming recognized the girl, it was Su Buying, who was also from the Martial Arts Academy.
Su Buying also recognized Yang Ming and the others, and she took the lead in greeting Xin'er, "It turned out to be the county lord of Xin'er, why are you here?"
Xin'er pointed to Zhu Hai in front of them and said, "We are here to participate in the Wuxian City Medicine Tasting Conference, and we don't want to run into a killer to grab the medicine halfway, so we have a big fight." ”
"So it is. Su Buying's face changed slightly, but she quickly regained her composure, turned to the guards and ordered: "Come on, take down this killer, dare to do something to our guests in Wuxian City, and take his head for me." ”
Her voice was full of momentum, like a master.
After the guards received the order, they immediately swung their blades and slashed at Zhu Hai. Zhu Hai looked at the guards rushing over, his face changed slightly, he lowered his head, no one noticed, and an intriguing smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. Zhu Hai condensed the last bit of Wu Yao in his body, and once again urged his heart to move, the flag.
"The ground moves, the sand rolls. ”
Qifan once again played a leading role, but this time it was not the air current, but the dust under his feet, which instantly flew and blocked everyone's sight.
In the dust, Yang Ming could only hear the chaotic footsteps in his ears and the noisy shouts of the guards, and even Wu Jian didn't expect that Zhu Hai still had this strength.
"Don't mess around, he doesn't have any extra Wu Yao anymore. Wu Jian shouted loudly.
Because Zhu Hai's last Wu Yao was very weak, the dust that rolled up quickly dissipated. But when the dust settled, there was no trace of Zhu Hai.
"It can't be...... He was seriously injured...... It's impossible to escape......" Wu Jian judged at the moment.
Su Buying nodded, and ordered again: "The killer must have taken the opportunity to hide in the forest, search for me, a radius of ten miles, not a single grass or tree can be spared." ”
When the guards received the order, they immediately launched a carpet search around.
After seeing the guards leaving, Su Buying walked over to Yang Ming and them, and said with concern: "Are you all right?" You came to my Wuxian City's medicine tasting conference, why don't you say hello to me, I can arrange someone to pick you up, so that you are not afraid of encountering a killer. ”
"We didn't want to cause you trouble, so we came by ourselves, who would have thought we would meet a killer. Yang Ming replied, "But, how did you end up here?"
"When I came back from going out to run errands for my father-in-law, I suddenly saw the wind blowing in the Sorrowful Mountains, as if someone was fighting, so I brought someone over to find out, but I didn't expect it to be you. Su Buying said in an easy-going tone, his eyes also scanned among several people, and then a pair of beautiful eyes fell on Wu Jian's body, and said:
"This one looks like he's hurt. ”
Wu Jian retracted the pale color on his face, breathed a sigh of relief, and said, "It's not a big deal, it's just that I wasn't careful just now, and I was attacked by that killer, which disrupted Wu Yao's flow, and some of my breath was not smooth." ”
Yang Ming looked at Wu Jian with some disbelief, only to see that his complexion was indeed a lot ruddy, and his tone of voice was also tough, and it seemed that there was really no big problem.
"Oh, it's okay. Su Buying's eyes flashed with a strange light, no one noticed it, and then she changed to her previous beautiful smile.
Buying and Yang Ming exchanged a few words of greetings, and Yang Ming also knew that Su Buying was busy with things in the city because Wuxian City held a medicine tasting conference, so she specially asked the college for leave to come back to help her father-in-law, the owner of Wuxian City, An Shice, prepare for the conference.
After a long time, I saw a guard running over and said, "Miss Buying, we have searched all over the radius of ten miles, but we have not found any trace of the killer." ”
"It seems that he still let him run. Wu Jian seemed to have a premonition that this would be the result, so when he heard the news of the search, he didn't show surprise.
"Damn, just a little bit. Yang Ming slapped his fist unwillingly.
Seeing that the search was fruitless, Su Buying had no choice but to order: "Leave half of the guards, continue to search, and be sure to find the killer." The rest escorted us back to Bonham. ”
After giving the order, Su Buying turned around and said softly: "It's getting late now, you better go back to Wuxian City with me first, it will be safe when you arrive, no matter how powerful the killer is, he will never dare to go to Wuxian City to kill people." ”
The change of one strict and one soft made Yang Ming have to admire Su Buying's charm, and just now he gave a strict order to his subordinates, and then turned around and greeted him with a smile and spoke softly. Majesty and charm, these two seemingly contradictory temperaments, but they are vividly manifested in her alone.
Wu Jian nodded, now that the killer had fled, there was no point in staying here any longer, and their task was originally to escort Que Qing to the medicine tasting conference in Wuxian City.
Seeing that Wu Jian and the others agreed, Su Buying motioned for her subordinates to set off, and then she invited Xin'er: "Lord Xin'er, this mountain road is rugged, why don't you sit in a sedan chair with me." ”
Glancing at the sedan chair that was a little too gorgeous, even Xin'er felt a little embarrassed, so she declined: "Thank you Miss Buying for your kindness, but I am still practicing now, and it is not suitable to sit in a sedan chair." ”
"Oh. Bu Ying nodded slightly, and there was a bit of pity in her tone, "Since the county lord is unwilling, and I can't force it, then I will take a sedan chair in front and lead the way for you." ”
After speaking, he sat in a sedan chair, and after the guards waited for Su Buying to sit down, they set off towards Wuxian City.
"In this barren mountain and wild place, you have to sit in a sedan chair, in the end, it is a young lady from a rich and noble family, and she is delicate and noble. Lin Dong said dissatisfied.
Hearing Lin Dong's complaint, thinking that his body should be fine, Yang Ming smiled with some relief, and said, "Brother Lin Dong, you can't generalize, you see, Xin'er won't just walk with us." ”
Xin'er smiled a little shyly, "Don't make trouble, hurry up." I don't want to stay in this eerie place for a moment. ”
Yang Ming nodded, as long as he hasn't arrived in Wuxian City, everything is still variable, don't be careless.
The boy thought so, and walked cautiously, while he was always on the lookout for him. At this time, the footprints of the guards in front attracted Yang Ming's attention, because of the fight just now, the ground was ravaged by the storm, and the soil became very soft, so the footprints of the guards were very obvious, especially the four groups of footprints carrying the sedan chair were particularly conspicuous.
The road they are walking now is exactly the direction that Su Buying and they came from, so there are two rows of footprints on the road, one row from them, and the other row is what they are walking now, but Yang Ming found a strange phenomenon, that is, the four guards carrying the sedan chair now, their footprints are obviously a little deeper than when they came.
What's going on?
Yang Ming looked at the moving sedan chair, his eyes gradually narrowed, and slowly a terrible and unbelievable thought climbed into the young man's mind,
Zhu Hai didn't escape, he hid in Su Buying's sedan chair.
Yang Ming's body gradually trembled because of anger, and he was about to rush forward to uncover Su Buying's sedan chair, just when the young man was impulsive, a thick and powerful big hand slapped on his shoulder, Yang Ming looked up, just in time to meet Wu Jian's gaze.
After his gaze touched, Wu Jian shook his head at the young man, signaling him not to act rashly.
Although unwilling, although full of doubts, Yang Ming still chose to believe in Wu Jian. In this way, Wu Jian also found that Zhu Hai was hiding in the sedan chair, then, the most serious problem came, if Zhu Hai was really hidden in the sedan chair, but Su Buying was silent, there is only one possibility, Zhu Hai and Su Buying are in a group, and one layer deeper, it is with the owner of Wuxian City, An Shice.
So, when they go to Wuxian City now, isn't it just a sheep entering the tiger's mouth? What did Wu Jian think?
Yang Ming was puzzled, but the young man believed in Wu Jian.
It wasn't until the evening that Yang Ming and the others arrived at Wuxian City.
Wuxian City is worthy of being a famous city in the East. Wuxian City is surrounded by mountains on three sides, the city is more than 20 meters high, every piece of blue brick, there is a heavy sense of strength, there are dozens of guards holding spears standing on the city, just standing under the city tower, has been shocked by the solemn majesty. Such a strong wall is enough to withstand the attack of tens of thousands of soldiers.
At this moment, the city gate is wide open, the line of sight passes through the city gate, and before people enter the city, they have already felt the lively atmosphere in the city, which can be described as full of people. As soon as Yang Ming and the others entered the city, they were instantly overwhelmed by the surging flow of people, but fortunately, Su Buying's guards opened the way in front of them, so they opened a way in the flow of people.
Yang Ming looked at the street shops on both sides, many of which were temporary stalls, and almost all of these stalls were selling medicinal materials. Most of the people who participated in the medicine tasting conference were medicine wizards, and then there were high-ranking officials and nobles who were interested in refining medicine, so there were many medicinal herb dealers who traveled thousands of miles here to sell medicinal materials. Also because of the increase in the flow of people, restaurants and inns have also sprung up one by one, and there are nearly 100 inns in the whole Wuxian City, but they are still overcrowded.
