Chapter Twenty-Four: Tempting the Enemy
"Hiss..."Maybe it was the pain when the medicine powder touched the wound that stimulated Mu Xiu, he took a breath and actually woke up, looking at the strange two in front of him vigilantly, but because he was too weak, he didn't have the strength to speak, and quickly closed his eyes and waited for Su Wu to slowly help him with the medicine and bandage it.
Su Wu asked Sikong Shaoyang if he wanted to come, and the water bladder stretched out to Mu Xiu's already chapped mouth, "Drink some water!" ”
Mu Xiu took a big sip, and then said hoarsely, "Thank you." ”
"You're not from the island, who are you? How did it end up here? Did the people from Chili Island hurt you? Su Wu asked a series of curious questions.
Mu Xiu didn't speak, just shook his head, and then struggled to stand up, Su Wu hurriedly helped him and said, "You are still very weak, don't move!" ”
Almost at the same time, Sikong Shaoyang stepped forward and guarded Su Wan's side.
Mu Xiu shook off her hand, still didn't say anything, and staggered away.
"What, kindness as a donkey's liver and lungs, this person is so strange!" Su Wan shrugged her shoulders, but when she turned around, she found that Sikong Shaoyang's face was very surprised, "What's wrong?" ”
"Who is the man...... Mu Xiu? Although Sikong Shaoyang had heard of Xiqiong, a "prestigious" cold-faced killer, he had never seen a real person, but just now he recognized the man as Mu Xiu of Xiqiong from the fist blade in the man's hand and the cruel fatal wounds left by him on the corpses all over the ground.
"Mu Xiu? The people of the West Dome? Su Wu also realized that the West Dome people appeared on the island at this time, and all this was even more complicated, "Could it be that the disappearance of my brother is also related to the West Dome?" ”
"I can't say it at the moment, it's just that we have to be more careful on the island, let's go, it's important to find Su Yan first."
Mu Xiu finally reached the far side of the harbor, and suddenly he found a pirate-like man lying on the ground bound by ropes, so he stepped forward.
When the man saw Mu Xiu, he shouted in fright: "Don't kill me, don't kill me!" ”
Mu Xiu felt strange in his heart, pinched the man's neck and said, "Say! Have you ever seen an injured woman?! ”
The man trembled and said, "See...... Yes, there is a man next to her. ”
Mu Xiu increased the strength of his hand and continued to ask, "Where did they go?" ”
"I, I don't know, I just heard the man mutter, it seems that he has gone to that desert island not far away."
When Mu Xiu heard this, he thought of a small island he had visited when he came to Chili Island, so he immediately let go of this person and jumped on a small boat and headed towards the island.
The young deserter thought he was safe, and he continued to lie on the ground, expecting someone from Chili Island to come and help him untie the rope, but after a while, a group of men in black came up to him, and the nerves in his whole body were immediately tensed again.
"Where did that man go?" One of the men in black asked.
"That little desert island near Chili Island." The deserter looked at the man in black in alarm.
"Well, thank you." The group of men in black turned and left, and the deserters breathed a sigh of relief, but at this time, one of the men in black raised his bow and pointed his head at the deserter without looking back, and in an instant, a crossbow arrow shot at his chest, and before he could show a shocked expression on his face, he was already dead.
The little dry food that Su Yan brought down from the boat had been eaten, and he walked out of the cave to pick some wild fruits to satisfy his hunger, and by the way, he went to the boat to find out if there was any fresh water.
Just as he was picking wild fruits, he heard a "rustling" sound, and it seemed that someone was approaching, so he immediately stopped his movements, squatted down and held his breath, and looked through the wild grass in the direction where the footsteps came from, and when the visitor approached, he recognized that it was Mu Xiu.
Su Yan knew Mu Xiu, knew his legendary past, and knew that he had become Prince Shun's most powerful cronie secret guard, and later had faced Mu Xiu several times on the battlefield, in addition to appreciating his extraordinary skills, but also from the hostility that was different from the rest of the Xiqiong people in his eyes, he knew Mu Xiu's affection for Mu Yunyi.
Su Yan stood up and walked out, Mu Xiu saw Su Yan, didn't care about complicated emotions, and immediately stepped forward eagerly and asked, "Where is the princess?" How is she? ”
"She's in the cave in the back, and her wounds have healed, but she hasn't woken up yet." Su Yan saw the injury on Mu Xiu's abdomen, and then asked, "What's wrong with you?" ”
Mu Xiu shook his head and said, "It's okay, take me to see her!" ”
Su Yan agreed, and asked again: "Do you have fresh water?" She can't eat anything, so she needs to be fed water. ”
"Yes, on the ship I came, go get it first." So saying, the two of them walked to the shore of the island.
When they were about to reach the shore, they found a boat approaching the island, and there were many people on board.
"Looks like you've attracted a lot of people." Su Yan looked at the ship and said to Mu Xiu without looking back.
Su Yan looked at those people carefully, and found that they were exactly the same as the people who attacked him and Mu Yunyi, and they were still holding bows and crossbows in their hands, "It's them again!" ”
Mu Xiu thought of Mu Yunyi, who was unconscious, and saw Su Yan, who was also injured, and said in a suppressed voice: "Later, I will lead these people to the other side of the island, and you go back and take Yunyi on a boat and leave immediately." There was no negotiability in his words.
Su Yan looked back at Mu Xiu in surprise: "No!" So what do you do? How can you deal with so many people now? Su Yan knew at a glance that Mu Xiu's injury was definitely not light.
"These people should have come with me, and they may not know that you are here, so leave me alone, just take her away safely." Mu Xiu's expression was calm, and he was about to lean out as he spoke.
"But......" Su Yan grabbed Mu Xiu.
Mu Xiu stared at the approaching black shadow, and said in a low and solemn voice: "Don't do it anymore, there are not a few of them, the princess hasn't woken up yet, you and I are both injured, if the three of us stay on the island, then no one can leave, in your heart, her safety is the most important thing, isn't it?" Mu Xiu turned his head, his eyes were incomparably clear, "The same is true in my heart." ”
In this way, Su Yan no longer objected: "Okay, you must be careful." ”
"When she wakes up, don't tell her that I've been to Ethereal Continent." With that, Mu Xiu pushed aside the grass and stepped out.
After the black-clothed men came ashore, they noticed that there was movement in the grass on the side, Mu Xiu deliberately exposed his figure, and then ran towards the east side of the island.
"Quick! There he is! Pursue! The group of men in black saw that Mu Xiu also followed.
Su Yan ran back to the cave, went in and picked up Mu Yunyi, and walked out of the cave to listen to the sound, Mu Xiuying had led the man in black to the depths of the island. Su Yan walked towards the shore in the opposite direction of Mu Xiu's luring of the enemy. When he arrived at the shore, he was sure that there was no one in black on the boat, so he quickly jumped onto the boat with Mu Yunyi in his arms and left the desert island.
Su Yan looked back at the island that was getting smaller and smaller in his sight, as if an invisible boulder was pressing on his chest and breathless, this was the first time in his life that he left his "companion" on the battlefield alone.
"Mu Xiu, you must come back alive."
