Chapter 16: Night Attack
Seeing his face clearly with the help of the moonlight, Wu Xi frowned slightly, he felt a little unreasonable, logically speaking, that person should not take such a risk to do such a thing. Sticking his sword into the ground, Wu Xi sat on the ground and fell into deep thought. After a few moments, he drew his sword again, got up and patted the dirt from his pants, and crouched beside the corpse. He neatly ripped off his night robe and cut it into several strips of cloth with his sword. Then he carefully wrapped the long sword in his hand around the black cloth belt, and the sword in his hand was very sharp, so he wrapped it very slowly.
Wu Xi kept moving his hands and said, "I'll go to the Sword Lake Palace to have a look, you four are waiting here, if I come back, I will imitate the sound of a wild cat to remind you." If they find a stranger approaching, they hang down the rope to the bottom of the cliff, and the light is so dim that it is difficult for them to find the rope. Seeing that he said undoubtedly, Narcissus Yu begged: "Young master, please take us!" We'd love to do our part! Wisteria Xi was very direct, and she said pitifully: "Young Master, I must follow you, not to mention that it is so dangerous here, I have to follow you even more."
At this time, Wu Xi wrapped the long sword, he tried to swing it twice, and nodded with satisfaction. The blade of this sword is too smooth, and the slightest bit of light will become easy to be discovered, so he needs to hide this edge, otherwise once he exposes himself, he may not be spared.
Then, Wu Xi looked at Wisteria Xi's eyes and said bluntly: "Very good, but what can you help me with such a weak person?" Don't end up affecting me, I'm afraid it will affect me! After speaking, the four girls were silent. Wisteria Xi's big eyes began to accumulate water, and she was tearful, like a clear spring under the illumination of the moonlight. She lowered her head and flattened her mouth, avoiding Wu Xi's gaze and muttered: "Even so, I" The latter became more and more inaudible, obviously knowing that her martial arts were poor and could not help much.
Wu Xi looked away, this chick is really a little irresistible, even he can only turn on the expressionless mode to barely avoid it. He stiffened his heart and ignored the sobbing girl, and walked towards the other corpse. As soon as she took two steps, Han Lanxue's cold voice sounded behind her, and she raised her voice slightly and said, "Young Master, maybe we really can't help you kill the enemy, but at least I can block the sword for you!" ”
But Wu Xi didn't look back at her, just sighed lightly and said in a low voice: "For weak people, it's not like they can do whatever they want. After speaking, he said in an accentuated tone and resolutely: "Anyway, you wait here, don't leave until I come back!" Han Lanxue was about to say more, but Narcissus Yu interrupted her and said, "We will listen to the young master, we will wait here all the time." ”
After a pause, he said loudly: "Not next time, not next time, not next time, I won't disappoint the young master next time, I promise!" Wu Xi bent the corners of his mouth, noncommittal, walked to the corpse, and also took off his night clothes, and put them on his body. After doing this, he firmly said "I'll be back" and left here. Seeing his back quickly disappear into the darkness, Narcissus Yu shook the thin sword in his hand, muttered something clearly, and turned around and walked towards the big stone, and the three girls followed her silently without saying a word.
After Wu Xi left, he rushed straight to the Sword Lake Palace, but the closer he got to the Sword Lake Palace, the more he could feel the murderous aura in the air. There was silence around the Sword Lake Palace, and Wu Xi seemed to be able to smell the faint smell of swords and blood, which made him a little inexplicably excited, and the state of his body was slowly adjusted to the best, and the reaction speed was also adjusted to the fastest. In this state, he seemed to be able to hear the suppressed breathing of those lurking around him. (Thinking about it, this chapter is also a bit silvery, "Rip off his night clothes", "Pick off his night clothes", "Inexplicable excitement:")
As a result, Wu Xi no longer approached the Sword Lake Palace, and in this case, he could not enter the Sword Lake Palace, or even give an obvious signal. Because once he exposes his existence, the game will be over quickly, and he can't guarantee that there will be a chance to start again. But he can't just leave, because he still wants to keep the Sword Lake Palace as much as possible, maybe Beizong has no value, but Wu Shun and Zhao Dan are still inside, Wu Xi has invested a lot in these two people, for him, it is best not to fold these two people here.
So Wu Xi must be patient, only then can he have a chance to save these unnecessary losses. didn't let him wait too long, and suddenly there was a miserable scream in the Sword Lake Palace, and then a middle-aged man was immediately heard shouting, "Do it!" Many black-clothed people suddenly rushed out of the darkness around the Sword Lake Palace, and these people carried long swords and shouted to break through the gate of the Sword Lake Palace, and rushed in.
Wu Xi's body was lower, and a man in black appeared from about four meters away from him just now, which really startled him. After that, I heard Zhao Guangbiao let out a long whistle, followed by the sound of ping-pong fighting and the screams of the disciples of the Northern Sect. The attackers were clearly stronger, and with their first-mover advantage in sneak attacks, the battle was almost a one-sided slaughter.
The Jianhu Palace was already brightly lit at this time, and Wu Xi no longer had hope, and decided to withdraw from the battlefield after only a moment of hesitation. He returned to the Cliff of Immeasurable Jade, but there was no sign of the four sisters, so he hid and imitated the meow of a wild cat, and soon all four girls came out. Seeing that they all came out, Wu Xi quickly said: "The situation is very bad, let's evacuate quickly!" The four girls didn't ask much, just nodded, and Wu Xi took them out of here.
Halfway up the mountain, Wu Xi suddenly stopped, stretched out his hand to stop the daffodils following behind, and took the lead to hide in the grass. The five of them hid it, and just as the four girls were full of questions, a rush of footsteps sounded, and the footsteps were very chaotic, high and low. The five waited patiently, and after a few moments, they saw three figures stumbling towards them, one of them in front, and one behind the other supporting the other.
The moonlight was getting darker and darker, and Wu Xi couldn't see the appearance of the three people clearly, so he waited intently for the three people to approach, but the three people were very vigilant and did not continue to approach, but stopped. Soon the five Wu Xi knew the identities of the three of them, and he heard the person who was being supported whisper, "Brother Zhao, what's wrong?" Another voice said, "Something is wrong here, it's too quiet." ”
Wu Xi and the four sisters all heard that this was Zhao Guangbiao and Zhao Dan's voice, so Wu Xi said: "It's us" and walked out with the four sisters. The group converged, Gu is relieved, Wu Shun said: "Young Master, the Sword Lake Palace was attacked by the people of the Eastern Sect, except for the three of us, everyone else was killed. ”
Zhao Guangbiao said in a hoarse voice: "Zuo Zimu is insidious and cunning, dissatisfied with our entry into the Sword Lake Palace, and even took advantage of the night to plot against us!" After speaking, he couldn't help coughing, he wiped the corners of his mouth with a painful look on his face, choked and continued: "Pity my innocent juniors, blame me, shouldn't be greedy, lying in this muddy water, and killing them!" After saying that, he coughed heavily twice.
Wu Shun patted him lightly on the back and persuaded, "Brother Zhao, your injuries are not light, don't speak reluctantly." Zhao Dan also comforted: "Brother Zhao, you can't be blamed for this, you can only blame Zuo Zimu for being too narrow-minded and ruthless." After hearing what they said, Wisteria Xi was taken aback and hurriedly asked with concern: "Brother Zhao, are you injured?" Is the injury serious? ”
Zhao Guangbiao replied weakly: "I'm fine, I can't die for the time being." Zuo Zimu is sanctimonious, I will definitely live, I will expose him and let him be ruined! Speaking of the back, his voice was much higher, and he was very excited, but he coughed non-stop. Wu Xi didn't interject, and at this time he was frowning and didn't know what he was thinking.
Zhao Dan asked: "Young Master, why are you here, we haven't been able to find you in the melee, but it really scared us a lot." Narcissus Yu preemptively said: "We were admiring the moon in the back mountain, and we met three black-clothed people who were sneaky there and didn't know what to do, so we took action to restrain them, and opened their masks only to find that they were all from the Eastern Sect, just at that time there was a scream from the Sword Lake Palace" Speaking of this, it seemed difficult to speak, and he paused before continuing: "The young master insisted on going to rescue you, but we were so scared that he begged him to send us down the mountain first, and when I heard your footsteps when I came here, I hid." ”
Although she was very shrewd, her words were full of loopholes, but everyone present had no intention of demolishing her, and although the other three girls were puzzled, they didn't dare to say more. At this time, Wu Xi had already come back to his senses, and he said: "The situation is urgent, don't delay any longer, get out of here quickly, the three of you escape, Zuo Zimu knows it, I'm afraid he won't give up." ”
As if to verify his words, Zuo Zimu's shouting faintly came from behind him. Wu Xi walked up to Zhao Guangbiao to support him, turned his head and said to Wu Shun: "I'll come, I guess you are running out of strength." Wu Shun said: "I'm fine, I don't dare to affect the young master." The four maids also came up and said, "In that case, let's come." ”
Wu Xi frowned, and said undoubtedly: "Don't waste time!" Only in this way can you evacuate as quickly as possible! The five did not dare to disobey and let go of their hands. The group ran down the mountain, Wu Shun kept following Wu Xi to prevent him from having any accidents, and Zhao Dan ran at the front, he was actually injured, but he kept gritting his teeth to support him.
The group was not an ordinary person, and they were very fast when they were buried in the road, and they quickly got rid of the pursuers behind. Walking to the foot of the mountain, everyone felt the sound of chasing behind them gradually disappearing, and they all secretly breathed a sigh of relief. At this moment, the group happened to pass by a steep slope, Zhao Dan slowed down to prevent stepping on the air, and after spending it safely, he was about to breathe a sigh of relief when he suddenly heard an exclamation from Wu Xi behind him
