After almost a full night of fleeing, everyone was exhausted, and either they had to hurry up and recuperate or do their part, and no one noticed that one of their companions had snuck out of the camp where they had taken refuge.

Under the pretext of convenience, Yaksha sneaked out of the sand pit, glanced back at everyone, and saw that no one had found him, so he dodged and disappeared into the night.

At the moment when he disappeared into the night, his figure suddenly accelerated, and his toes touched the soft sand a few times, and his body floated away like a light bird, which was comparable to a first-class master!

After running for about one or two hundred meters, Yaksha came to the back of a large sand dune, prostrate on the sand dune and looked around carefully, but found nothing unusual, and his nervous face relaxed slightly.

He glanced up at the starry sky, carefully discerning the position of the moon according to his position, and then took out a bamboo tube about the thickness of his index finger and more than two inches long from his bosom.

Yaksha unscrewed one end of the bamboo tube, pulled a lead from it, inserted the bamboo tube into the soft sand and fixed it slightly, and then took out another fire fold and carefully blew it on.

The jumping flames reflected his face in flickering light and darkness, a little less honest and heroic in the past, and a little more gloomy and calm.

Holding the fire fold in one hand and the cool breeze in the other, Yaksha couldn't wait to bring the flame closer to the lead, wanting to light the bamboo pipe.

"Hey, what do you want to do?"

But at this moment, a cold word suddenly came from behind him.

Yaksha was shocked, but his brain was unusually calm in his urgency, and he didn't turn his head to look at the person behind him, but slammed the flame towards the lead that was close at hand.

"Stop!"

There was another loud shout behind him, and a terrifying sound of breaking wind suddenly sounded, coming straight to the back of his head.

A layer of goosebumps suddenly exploded on Yaksha's back, and an indescribable sense of crisis instantly filled his body.

But at this moment, he couldn't care about it at all, he didn't stop in his hand to put the flame on the lead, and at the same time his toes slammed a little on the ground, and his body rose into the air, and turned around with the flame as the center.

With a "stab", the fuse was finally lit by him, and a short sword flew behind him and flew past his cheek, straight into the fine sand.

The lead burned so fast that it burned to the end in the blink of an eye.

"Chirp!!"

A scream sounded, and a flame suddenly erupted from the bottom of the bamboo pipe, rising into the sky like a rocket, and then suddenly exploded with a "pop", turning into a brilliant firework.

Before dawn is the darkest, although this firework cannot illuminate the night sky, it will be like a lighthouse in a storm, attracting all the pursuers within ten miles nearby.

Seeing that the signal had been released, Yaksha finally breathed a sigh of relief, and hehe turned around with a sneer.

A black shadow stood proudly on the sand dune, and Yaksha recognized him as the murderous one who didn't blink, the corners of his mouth twitched slightly, and he sneered: "I'm sorry, Apocalypse senior, you are a step late."

My people will be here soon, and I advise you to go as fast as you can, and as long as you don't get in the way of what I have to do, I will not embarrass you, how about it? ”

Standing on the sand dunes, he stared at him condescendingly, his eyes full of disdain.

"People in the world are greedy and stupid, always indulging in the appearance they want to see, what a bother......"

Yaksha was stunned when he heard this, and suddenly thought of something, and when he looked down, his face suddenly changed greatly.

The bamboo pipe was still inserted in the sand, and the palm of his hand holding the fire fold lay quietly on the side.

"No way, I obviously lit the signal, how can this be? Really? Yes! ”

Yaksha looked stunned, and a sharp pain came from his right wrist that pulled him back to reality.

He covered his wrist, which was still spurting blood, and then realized that the scene where he had just lit the fuse was actually his hallucination, and his face was as pale as earth, and his eyes were full of fear to leave.

"No way, are you a human or a ghost?"

As soon as the words fell, a soft sword crossed his neck like a ghost, and the figure of the shadow maid suddenly appeared, looking indifferent.

"The young master has long been aware of your identity as a ghost, so I have been staring at you to see what tricks you can play, but I didn't expect you to be a traitor!"

Yaksha was shocked when he heard this, and then he was agitated by the cold soft sword, and his body suddenly stiffened, and he could no longer speak.

Yaoli slowly walked down the sand dune, glanced at the shadow maid, and stopped talking.

"Thank you!"

The shadow maid noticed his eyes and said expressionlessly.

To leave: "You can do it without me, no thanks." ”

The shadow maid said: "He has hidden his strength, and he is only between him and me, if you don't make a move, I can't guarantee that it will be foolproof." ”

Be silent.

The shadow maid thought for a moment and said, "What I just said is still counting, if you want to get me, you will join me in doing things for the young master." ”

To frown: "I will not submit to anyone." ”

The shadow maid said indifferently: "Whatever you want, as long as you do what the young master needs, you don't want to surrender or force it." ”

Keep your eyes narrowed slightly: "I don't like trading, especially when the chips are feelings, even if I can get you, I can't get your heart." ”

The shadow maid frowned and thought for a while, and said seriously: "You don't have to worry, I've always been fair, if you really want to do something for the young host, I will try to try to fall in love with you, even if I can't do it, I will try not to let you notice." ”

I was about to take a breath away from hearing the words, and suddenly I felt as if I had no way to deal with the woman in front of me, she was different from all the women in the world, her purity and impeccable, and so straightforward, made me a little confused.

Is this the person you've been looking for?

To leave his heart with a trace of doubt, the difference between the ideal and the reality is too great, so he has to re-examine himself, but as long as the shadow maid is by his side, his blood is hot, and his heart is cheerful, this feeling he has never experienced.

Some tastes are like bitterness, and once you try it, you can't stop it.

The first rays of dawn descended on the earth, and the darkness receded like a tide, but the fatigue was still nostalgic, Princess Qixia curled up and leaned on Xu Rui's shoulder and slept groggyly, at this moment she must have missed the warm bed in the plain girl palace very much.

Suddenly, there was a quarrel in the distance, followed by swords drawn and scolding.

"What's wrong? Did the pursuers come over? ”

Princess Qixia was woken up by this dispute, and opened her eyes to look at Xu Rui in a daze.

"It's okay, you have a good rest, and I'll take care of the rest."

Xu Rui touched Princess Qixia's head dotingly.

Princess Qixia nodded, like a well-behaved kitten, turned over and gradually fell asleep.

Xu Rui carefully compacted the clothes covering Princess Qixia's body, and listened to her breathing gradually stabilize before standing up and walking towards the noisy place.

"Let go of Lao Tzu, otherwise don't blame Lao Tzu for being polite!"

On the side of the sand pit, Yin Zhennan held the saber, pointed to the yaksha who was tied up by the five flowers, and roared at the shadow maid.

"Be in charge, save me, save me, they want to kill me, be in charge!"

Yaksha's right hand was casually held by rags, barely stopped the bleeding, and knelt on the ground and prayed to Yin Zhennan with tears in his eyes.

Yin Zhennan was the most righteous, and he was already stunned when he saw his brother being tortured like this, if he didn't know that he was leaving, the saber in his hand at this moment would have been cut on his head.

"Lao Tzu said it one last time, let him go!"

Yin Zhennan gritted his teeth and said word by word.

But it was as if she hadn't heard him at all, and had turned a blind eye to the threat that was close at hand.

Yin Zhennan was furious in his heart, and he gritted his teeth and was about to go up and fight hard.

"Boss Yin is big and slow!"

At this moment, Xu Rui shouted, ran over with a snort, and said with a sneer: "Boss Yin, misunderstanding, it must be a misunderstanding, everyone is in trouble, don't be impulsive!" ”

"Misunderstanding? Hmph, they hurt my brother and arrested him, what kind of misunderstanding is this?! ”

Yin Zhennan burst into a shout, but considering the fierceness of leaving, he finally stopped.

Xu Rui grinned, and arched his hand towards Yaoli and the shadow maid: "I don't know why the two of you want to arrest this hero?" ”

He said as he winked at the Shadow Maiden.

I was about to leave Xu Rui and glanced at Xu Rui, turning her head disdainfully, but the shadow maid understood and threw out the bamboo pipe: "He is a traitor, he wanted to secretly release a signal to attract the chasing soldiers, but we caught him on the spot, and everyone was captured, what else is there to say?" ”

"Impossible!"

When Yin Zhennan heard this, he immediately shook his head angrily.

"Boss Yin, don't be so arbitrary, since this girl said that the Yaksha hero plans to secretly release a signal to attract pursuers, then we might as well confirm whether this signal is his."

As soon as these words came out, everyone was stunned, but Yaksha's face changed slightly.

"How do you know if it's his?"

Yin Zhennan was still not at ease and asked.

Xu Rui picked up the bamboo pipe and said with a faint smile: "This bamboo pipe contains a thing called gunpowder, which is only available in the Great Wei Army.

The gunpowder in the Great Wei army all came from the factories of the military department, and most of them were finely ground and not easy to seal, so if this bamboo pipe was hidden on the body, gunpowder would inevitably leak out.

So just put his clothes on the fire and burn them, and if there is a spark, it will prove that he has been hiding this bamboo pipe on his body. ”

"Gunpowder is a secret in the army, how can you know so much?"

Yaksha was shocked when he heard this, and subconsciously blurted out exclaim.

As soon as the words came out, he suddenly thought of the look that Xu Rui had just handed over to the shadow maid, and instantly understood that he was the young master in the shadow maid's mouth, and then thought of Xu Rui's pseudonym Xu Lang, and a lightning bolt suddenly crossed his mind.

"So you're him!"

Yaksha was stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter.

"Yaksha, what are you talking about?"

Seeing this scene, Yin Zhennan didn't know that Yaksha was really a traitor, but Yaksha had followed him for several years and was loyal to him, he really didn't want to believe it, and he was still shocked at this time.

However, Yaksha ignored Yin Zhennan at all, looked at Xu Rui and sneered: "I didn't expect it, I thought it was just a group of fish that slipped through the net, but I didn't expect to really catch a big fish."

There's nothing to hide now, and to tell you the truth, I left a secret message for the rear team before I set off, and your escape route was clear from the beginning.

Lord Jinglue's chasing soldiers are coming in the morning, even if you don't have my signal, you don't want to escape, this time you hit the muzzle of the gun yourself, no wonder Lord Jinglue, Brother Xu! ”

Yaksha deliberately dragged the three words of Brother Xu very hard, and as soon as these words came out, everyone's faces suddenly changed, and Xu Rui's eyes narrowed slightly.

At this moment, Yao Li and Xu Rui moved their ears at the same time and frowned.

"There's a brigade of cavalry coming in this direction!"

I want to leave a word of indifference.

Xu Rui naturally noticed it, and hurriedly turned his height and said: "Enemy attack, there is an enemy attack, get up!" ”
