Chapter 17: The Death of Zhao Guangbiao

Zhao Dan stopped and looked back, only to see Wu Xi and Zhao Guangbiao quickly tumbling down the slope, and everyone was shocked, and they also slipped down in surprise. Fortunately, this steep slope is not long, they quickly reached the bottom of the slope, saw Wu Xi lying on the ground, hurriedly went over to help him up, Wisteria Xi hurriedly said with a cry: "Young master, are you okay!" Young master, woo"

Wu Xi shook his head and said that it was okay, but the four of Narcissus Yu were still not at ease, so they still checked it carefully and found that he was only relieved when his elbow and knee were bruised. Narcissus Yu hugged Wu Xi and said with a crying voice: "I'm scared to death, young master, you're fine!" The three girls also came over and hugged each other and cried quietly, and the series of events also made them tired, maybe they were better than their peers, but after all, they were only fourteen or fifteen years old.

Wu Xi kissed their foreheads comfortingly and said, "Don't worry, I'm fine." As if suddenly remembered, he hurriedly asked, "By the way, what about Brother Zhao?" How is he? A few people thought of Zhao Guangbiao at this time, Wu Shun sighed, found Zhao Guangbiao lying there without moving, and ran over quickly.

He was just about to lift Zhao Guangbiao, but the place where the tentacle was slippery, he was shocked, and hurriedly touched it carefully. At this time, Zhao Dan also slid down, walked up to him and asked, "Brother Zhao, how are you?" Is it okay? Wu Shun got up at a loss, stood there and looked at Zhao Guangbiao on the ground speechless, until Zhao Dan approached, he woke up like a dream and said: "Brother Zhao, he is dead, his neck was pierced by a wooden cone, which may have been caused when he rolled down." ”

"Huh?!" Several people exclaimed in surprise and gathered around. Zhao Guangbiao lay motionless on the ground, a wooden stick was stuck diagonally on his neck, and blood had flowed all over the ground. Seeing this scene, several people felt very sad, and they were speechless for a while, only a few girls couldn't help but let out a low crying sound.

Only the guilt in Wu Xi's eyes passed for a moment, but soon his face was also sad, and he said sadly: "The matter has come to this, let's leave quickly, and have a chance to avenge Brother Zhao in the future." At this moment, the sound of chasing soldiers was heard in the distance, and everyone could only hurriedly pack up their mood and leave in a hurry, leaving only Zhao Guangbiao lying quietly on the ground. He stared at the sky with wide eyes, as if to complain about the tragic fate that God had arranged for him.

Without the drag of Zhao Guangbiao, the seven of them quickly escaped, and the group ran until they reached a remote manor ten miles away before stopping. It was pitch black in the Zhuangzi, and I don't know if it was uninhabited or if all of them had fallen asleep. The seven of them rested against the wall for a moment, and the four girls were a little unable to support themselves, leaning on each other and gasping for breath. Zhao Dan cheered up and said, "Let's continue to walk after resting, we will soon be able to leave the control range of the Infinite Sword Sect, and we will be safe when we get out of this range." ”

After speaking, he asked, "Young Master, what should we do next?" Are you going back to Wuzhou? Wu Xi shook his head and looked at Wu Shun, Wu Shun understood, walked to the door and knocked three times with a certain rhythm. didn't wait too long, the door opened, a ghost-faced man walked out, saw Wu Xi, he let the side with his left hand stretched out and raised his upright salute, Wu Shun beat his chest with his right hand and saluted back. Wu Xi nodded and walked straight in, Zhao Dan and the four sisters behind him were full of doubts, but they didn't ask much, they followed him in, and when they all entered it, the man looked around vigilantly, and closed the door gently without finding anything abnormal.

Wu Xi walked to the living room and sat down, Wu Shun stood behind him, looked at the five people in the hall who were at a loss, and said, "Sit down, it's safe to get here!" Zhao Dan sat down as he said, and was about to ask a question, when a group of ghost-faced people rushed in, facing the neatly arranged Wu Xi, his neatly aligned left hand stretched out and shouted, "Wansheng!" Seeing Wu Xi nodding before he lowered his arm, the first person on the left stepped forward and said, "Young Master, a total of eighteen people from the first, third, fourth, fifth, sixth, and ninth squads of the saber have been assembled, please instruct!" ”

Wu Xi was very satisfied, and said with a straight expression: "There is no task at present, disband, rest and standby!" So these team members cheered "yes" and the line retreated, only the first one stayed, walked behind Wu Xi and stood still. Zhao Dan finally found an opportunity to interject at this time, looked at Wu Shun and asked, "Wu Shun, what's going on?" How is the saber man here? ”

Wu Shun was silent for a while, and saw that Wu Xi didn't say anything, so he replied: "It's so far away from Wuzhou, it's impossible for me not to arrange guards, but it's not good to go with us, you know that Brother Zhao's people in the Northern Sect don't have a good image of them, I'm worried" Zhao Dan nodded to show that he understood, but then said a little lonely: "You did it right, but why hide it from the five of us." Hearing him say this, the four sisters also lowered their heads and remained silent, looking very lost.

Wu Shun didn't know how to explain it, and he couldn't speak. Seeing this, Wu Xi said loudly: "Do you know what does it matter? Does this affect you in any way? Sabre's operation is most secrecy, and there is no need to tell you who have different divisions of labor. Speaking of this, he said softly: "Besides, if you really want to know, you will definitely feel guilty because you are hiding Zhao Guangbiao." ”

After listening to him, the five of them all felt better, and responded in unison: "What the young master said is, thank you young master for thinking about me." Wu Xi nodded with satisfaction, Zhao Dan seemed to think of something, and said, "Young Master, since the saber is here, should we recapture the Sword Lake Palace?" Zuozi Mu is a well-dressed beast, this time he must "Seeing Wu Xi frowning, he immediately stopped and didn't speak.

Wu Xi's face was expressionless, looking at his eyes, and he asked lightly: "Zuo Zimu has superb swordsmanship and strong martial arts, can 'Brother Zhao' be sure to face him?" Although he didn't know why Wu Xi was angry, Zhao Dan still lowered his head and didn't look at his eyes, and replied with some shame: "No, I'm not his opponent." Wu Xi looked away and continued: "I know that Zuo Zimu also has a junior brother, and his martial arts are not much worse than him, if you really want to fight, I am afraid that it will be much more difficult to kill us than to chop melons and vegetables, and this Sword Lake Palace will not be able to take it back." ”

Zhao Dan suddenly realized that he wanted to avenge Zhao Guangbiao, but he didn't take into account the gap in strength between the two sides, and he was ashamed to think about it at this time. He said: "What the young master said is that I owe it to consideration, so is our next step to go back to Wuzhou?" Wu Xi nodded and said, "Rest here for one night, change into a saber uniform and leave tomorrow, and retreat to Wuzhou to make plans." So the crowd also dispersed and slept.
