Chapter Twenty-Eight: Riverside Distress

When the boat slowly swung to the center of the river, a boat on the opposite side went straight towards them, and Rongjin felt that something was wrong.

Cold, an arrow feather broke through the air. At this critical moment, Rong Jin's petite figure jumped up in the air, pulled out the soft sword from his waist, and with a flick of his wrist, the arrow feather split into two in an instant.

But he was still a step too late, only to hear Shen Yanzhi's muffled snort, half of the arrow feather pierced into his arm, and the bright red liquid flowed out, staining his clothes red.

Four men in black rushed out of the opposite ship, their long knives glowing with cold light in the night, and they jumped up and flew forward. For a moment, the ship swayed and swayed.

This man in black came for Shen Yanzhi, and Rong Jin immediately pulled hard to protect Shen Yanzhi behind him.

Seeing this situation, Lu Weixin stood in front of Xue Sisi with Su Jin, spread his arms for protection, and said righteously: "You go first!" I'll break it off! ”

Su Jin refused, "You take Sisi away!" ”

"You go!"

The two argued for a long time, and found that the man in black had no time to talk to them.

The four black-clothed men surrounded Shen Yanzhi and Rong Jin, they were menacing, their attacks were fierce, and their knives were deadly. Rong Jin was flawless, and took advantage of the gap between kicking a man in black into the water and shouted at them: "You go first." ”

Lu Weixin's legs were weak, he looked left and right, and said in a trembling voice: "I want to go!" Where to go. "There is water all around, and he is a landlubber, and if he jumps, he will die.

When Xue Sisi had seen this kind of battle, he was so frightened that his face turned pale and he was at a loss, and he trembled and said, "I, I don't know how to water." ”

In contrast, only Su Jin calmed down a little, glanced at the boatman who fainted beside him, bent down to pick up two oars, threw one to Lu Weixin, and said urgently: "Paddle to the shore!" ”

Lu Weixin gritted his teeth, picked up the oars and stirred them up.

After a while, Xue Sisi's weak voice sounded: "It doesn't seem to have moved." ”

The two people who were struggling with their eyes closed raised their heads when they heard the sound, and paddled for a long time, but they were still spinning in place.

Shen Yanzhi hunched his body, covering his injured right arm with his left hand, although it did not hurt the vital point, but it hurt him in a cold sweat. Rongjin defended left and right, because he wanted to protect Shen Yanzhi, he couldn't show his skills, and his arm was accidentally rubbed by the tip of the knife, but fortunately, it was not serious, but the skin was broken.

The two sides went back and forth, fighting for several rounds, the other party was well-trained, and his moves were ruthless and rude, just to take Shen Yanzhi's life, Rong Jin gradually couldn't parry.

Rong Jin lowered his head to dodge, and when a man in black saw that he finally found a gap, he slashed straight at Shen Yanzhi, Rong Jin was shocked, and in a hurry, he kicked Shen Yanzhi back.

"Poof", Rong Jin was stunned, she was too strong and kicked Shen Yan into the river. The man in black was also stunned, obviously not expecting the other party to make such a move.

Rong Jin suddenly remembered that Shen Yanzhi was not familiar with water, and hurriedly plunged into the water.

The man in black looked at each other, looking at the ripples that gradually disappeared in the water, and a man in black: "What should I do?" ”

"You jump! I don't know how to water. ”

"Who would? Neither will I! ”

The two of them looked at each other tacitly, pushed a man with a slightly taller head into the water, and said in unison: "You go!" ”

The man's back looked slender and thin, but he was unexpectedly pushed by the two of them, and he fell straight into the water without defense.

One of the remaining two men in black pointed to the stern of the boat and asked, "What about these three people?" ”

"We only took one person's head money, how can there be a reason to buy one get three free. Walk! As soon as the words fell, the two of them took a leap, jumped onto the opposite boat, and disappeared into the night.

In an instant, only the three of Lu Weixin were left on the lonely boat, and a boatman who had already fainted was lying at his feet.

Rongjin jumped into the water, floating in the river, looking for Shen Yanzhi's figure everywhere. Fortunately, Shen Yanzhi was injured, and the dazzling red color blurred in the river, Rong Jin searched for the source of the bloodstains, and after a while, he found it.

Rong Jin held Shen Yanzhi with one hand and swam to the nearest riverbank. She was so tired that she couldn't breathe, grabbed him by the collar, and dragged him ashore with all her might.

The riverbank is flat and open, making it easy for the enemy to spot. But the night was too dark, she couldn't see the distance clearly, and with Shen Yanzhi, who was unconscious, she couldn't continue to move forward, so she had to rest here.

Rong Jin stretched out her index finger and probed Shen Yanzhi's snort, her expression was relieved, but it was okay. Raising his eyes, he saw a big stone pier not far away, took a deep breath, and dragged Shen Yanzhi next to the stone pier.

After doing all this, Rong Jin was out of breath, leaning against the stone pier to rest, there were drops of water sliding down the ends of her hair, she raised her hand and wiped it indiscriminately, and whispered in her mouth: "Words really can't be said nonsense." ”

The man in black chased him underwater for a while, and finally swam ashore, but he was too tired at this time, and secretly scolded his two accomplices in his heart: "These two eight lambs! As soon as he raised his eyes, he saw the woman holding the sword in her right hand, and she jumped up and stabbed him straight at the door, and he dodged sideways, and the blade of the sword grazed her head and slashed off her hair. The other party chased after him, one move after another, he finally found a gap, pulled out the sword out of the sheath, and for a while the swords were connected, making a "clang" sound, especially clear in the silent night.

Rong Jin turned around neatly and knocked down the long knife, and the sword was less than an inch from the opponent's throat. After several rounds of fierce fighting, the man in black was already a prisoner.

"Wait... Wait a minute! The man shouted.

The man was masked, revealing only a pair of eyes, and his voice was clear, and he did not seem to be very old.

"What are you waiting for?" The hair sticks to the forehead, and it is uncomfortably sticky. Rongjin was a little impatient and was about to finish him off with one move.

"He's poisoned! Only I have the antidote! If you kill me, he will die! The man saw the murderous aura in Rong Jin's eyes, and finished saying this very quickly.

Poisoning? Rong Jin's eyes were puzzled, and he didn't dare to believe him completely.

The man continued: "The name of this poison is Jiumeng Drink, but it is overbearing, just listen to the name, you will know that the person who is poisoned will die quietly in his dream on the ninth day." If you don't want him dead, let me go. ”

"Phew, if you don't want to die, find a better excuse, I didn't find black blood in the wound." Rong Jin carefully recalled the shoulder of Shen Yan's arrow, usually poisoned people, isn't the blood spilled from the wound black?

Rong Jin was talking, and his hands were not idle. With a flick of her long sword, she picked off the mask of the man in black, revealing a childish face. The young man looked no more than fifteen or sixteen years old, with beautiful eyebrows and clear eyes, and he didn't look like a killer at all.

When the young man saw that he had revealed his true face, he didn't care, turned his head and snorted, and said disdainfully: "How can you ordinary people see our poison?" If you don't believe it, press an inch below his heart, and then see if there is a thumb-sized red flower on the palm of his hand. ”
