The sun was already hanging high, Yun Cheng took two women and two children, because there were no horses, so the speed was not very fast, and there was no one to go to the small pier to the north.

On both sides of the path were wilting grass, sparse miscellaneous trees scattered on the flat ground, without a trace of cover, and the group ran forward at this moment, despite the cold, and was about to see the riverbank in the distance, and the turbulent water was covered with hoarfrost.

Suddenly, there was a faint neighing sound of horses behind him, it was broken, someone was chasing, and the three adults were all tight, and at the speed at hand, it was impossible to escape.

The footsteps did not stop, and the young lady shouted in a hurry: "Xue Niang, wait for you to take the two children away, cross the river to the northwest, there is a small town more than thirty miles away, where to find a Taichen Pavilion, and inform Master Jiang in the pavilion, he will take you in." ”

Yun Cheng hurriedly said: "Young lady"

"Don't say it, you can't deal with them alone, Xue Niang has no martial arts, if you want to keep the two children, I have to stay, Xue Niang, please." ”

The sparse miscellaneous woods are less than 100 zhang away from the riverbank, but the pursuers can already see clearly, more than 20 soldiers, and the armor is neat.

The two children were handed over to Xue Niang's arms, the young lady took one last look at the frightened child, the small package hung on Xue Niang's shoulder, and hid among the grass and trees, Yun Cheng looked at Xue Niang and the two children deeply, and said hatefully: "Go quickly, no matter what, you have to raise the child." ”

The iron-clad man's eyes are also covered with a layer of fog, and there is no time for people to be warm, let alone for everyone to be sad.

The Snow Lady resolutely ran to the small pier, where there was the only way to live, and the tears scratched the morning mist by the river, wetting the faces of the two children.

It seems that they also feel this grief and determination, the two children are no longer frightened, from the bumpy shoulders of the snow lady, looking at the two figures hidden in the grass and trees, there is only reluctance and expectation between the eyebrows.

The pursuer looked at the woman in the distance, thinking that it was the young lady, and rushed forward howling as if he had taken medicine.

The captain of the squad rode a horse, rushed to the front with three cavalry guards, and more than ten zhang behind was the foot armor, and he was happy that he was lucky, and he would definitely be able to reward the money when he went back, and the third prince also showed his face, and it was not impossible to rise up.

Going downhill ahead, more than 100 zhang away from the small wharf, he was about to jump down the riverbank, but he knew a cold light, and the whole person was carried forward. On the left, another blue light flew up, and the two horsemen who followed followed him didn't have time to shout, and their heads flew out.

And the third cavalry guard was prepared, quickly jumped up with a knife, and looked at Yun Cheng, who pounced on the team leader, and the captain turned forward at the moment he landed, but fortunately, it was a river beach and was not seriously injured.

More than a dozen guards in the rear also rushed up with a wild scream. These guards are also trained elites, obviously not straw bales, Yun Cheng sensed the attack from the rear, but he did not panic at all, and with a sword step, he accelerated and rushed forward.

When the captain was not in a hurry to parry, the steel knife in his hand stabbed into the captain's chest, quickly moved and turned around, and pulled out the steel knife in a step back.

The sharp blade that was quickly chopped down from the rear grazed the captain's back, and Yun Cheng immediately raised the knife and swung the blade, graciously smearing it towards his neck.

The young lady took advantage of the palace guard before she arrived, and also stabbed her in the back with a sword, and in a moment the last cavalry guard also followed in the footsteps of the captain.

At this time, more than ten guards in the rear could arrive.

Without any hesitation, more than ten people knew that if the captain died in battle, and they went back alive, they would also die, and their families would not be happy.

More than ten spears, like a rainstorm covering the two of them, although the young lady is superb in martial arts, but after all, she is a woman, although Yun Cheng is brave, she is also a fierce tiger and a group of wolves, and she has to entangle the enemy, and she can't let the guards chase Xue Niang and the child.

How much combat power can be exerted if there are scruples, in a quarter of an hour, the palace guards were desperately blocked by the two, and no one could get close to the river, and at this moment, the young lady was almost exhausted, killed three elite palace guards, injured two, and was no longer able to fight.

Yun Cheng was under the most pressure, fighting more than ten guards alone, killing six, and the rest were all injured, trembling and retreating five zhang away, and he was also scarred.

There was a gunshot mark on her back, you could almost see the backbone, and the lower part of the ribs was pierced, and the blood was wet on one leg, the young lady was holding a sword, leaning on a miscellaneous tree, looking at the boat that had slipped away from the riverbank for dozens of feet, revealing a trace of warmth, and the bare blood hole on the heart slowly oozing blood.

"Yun Cheng, please, when I die, throw me into the river and don't let people ............ Ahem. A stream of blood foamed out of his mouth.

"Thank you, Yuncheng"

"Come, I will repay you in the next life with my mother and son........."

In the distance, there was another neighing of people and horses, and it was obvious that the remaining guards had also discovered this place and chased after them.

The two looked at each other, come on, there is still time, kill them all

Fight up the last remaining strength, for the sake of the children, in order not to let the pursuers know that one or two small escaped, this wave of pursuers must be killed.

Half a quarter of an hour later, except for Yun Cheng, no one stood on the riverbank, carrying the young lady's body with difficulty, Yun Cheng dragged his body to be broken, step by step, running to the river, one by one with blood-colored footprints, extending to the riverbank, far away, there was no longer the shadow of the boat.

The turbid water of the Jade River, with a small boat, carrying the hope of life, is rolling and flowing indomitably, and the wife and the brave husband of the past have long been gone, only the two children are silently shrunk in the boat.

The river was not very urgent, because it was late winter and early spring, and it was not yet the peak of water, so she tried to hold the tail oar, looking at the river bank close at hand, she knew that her husband and young lady might never chase after her.

endured the grief in his heart, docked the boat, went ashore with the two children, and then let the boat go down the river, silently reading, madam, husband, you can rest assured, Xue Niang will take the children to live.

After discerning the direction, she resolutely stepped into the knee-high barren grass, and walked towards the mountains dozens of miles to the northwest, she did not dare to follow the path stepped by the mountain people, for fear that if the pursuers found the ferry to catch up.

On the south bank of the river, dozens of pursuers, led by several squad leaders, rushed to the previous battlefield, looking at the dead bodies in front of them, the atmosphere was extremely depressing, there was no alive, twenty people, and a team all died.

The leaders looked solemn, "Hmph, a group of pigs, they can't even catch up with a woman or child, they deserve to die." ”

There is no sympathy, no sadness, in this family, the world where the rivers and lakes are rampant, human life is worthless, I saw the green shadow by the river from afar, and shouted loudly: "Quick, what else to see, stupid don't let people run, chase ......"

On the shore, the exhausted Yun Cheng finally arrived at the water's edge and looked at the other side, silently praying in his heart that Xue Niang and the two children could get out of danger safely, he would not go into the water now, but just tearfully sent the young lady into the icy river, the second master, Yun Cheng was incompetent, failed to protect the lady, your life-saving grace, Yun Cheng can't repay it.

Listening to the shouting and scolding of the guards who came from behind, he turned around and approached with a bad breath.
