Embroidered Spring Knife: Parting
"Actually, if I don't get Wei Zhongxian's one thousand taels of gold, I might die."
At that time, Ding Xian brandished a Miao knife and slaughtered in all directions in the caravan's escort crowd, Ruan Mo'an followed behind him 'biubiubiu', and after solving the people who came from behind, he rubbed his painful wrist and said seriously.
Ding Xiu's expression was expressionless at this time, he swung his knife and stabbed into the chest of a person, and raised his elbow to hit the throat of the guard who raised the knife on his side and was about to slash with the hilt, one move was swift and fast, and he was not affected by Ruan Mo'an's words in the slightest.
"Alas, no one believes the truth these days." Ruan Mo'an muttered with a fluttering look in his eyes, and after solving one person with one shot, he opened the box and reached into it, grabbing something similar to a string of beads into the system. Seeing the task numbers on the panel jump, she was sure.
It seems that this is really Wei Zhongxian's property.
However, just as she breathed a sigh of relief, a sharp knife light silently struck behind her, Ruan Mo'an felt the cold hairs on her back, the pistol had not yet been clenched, and a stream of heat had replaced the chill on her back, and she trembled all over.
"What's the fuss?" Some tired and hoarse male voices came from behind him, Ruan Mo'an turned around with a complicated face, only to see Ding Xiu's head, his clothes were all soaked with undried rain and blood, and the whole person was like a ghost crawling out of hell, and no one was standing behind him. In the dwellings forcibly requisitioned by the caravan, for a time only the sound of the rain and the snorting of the horses pulling carts remained.
She touched the rapidly cooling blood splashed on her back, and was a little stunned for a while, before she spoke: "...... What is the saying? There is no way to repay the grace of saving lives, but only to make a promise? ”
Ding Xiu's face was mixed with blood and rain, he pulled the corners of his mouth, changed the Miao Dao that supported his body, and his voice was a little weak in the rain: "It's not necessary to promise each other, but can you treat each other with sincerity?" ”
Ruan Mo'an frowned, and quickly stepped forward, she reached out a little helplessly to hug him, but she didn't know where Ding Xiu's blood stains were injured, and she stomped her feet anxiously for a while: "Eh, Ding Xiu, you're injured, right?" I was wrong, I shouldn't have lied to you on the road just now Wei Zhongxian is my father-killing enemy, although I hate my father very much, but he is still alive and well, I don't have a blood feud with Wei Zhongxian, if I have a grudge against him, I would have solved him with one shot, why should I want his money......"
Ruan Mo'an was so anxious that she didn't know what she was talking about, she saw the other party raise her eyes and smile vainly, and then her wrist loosened, losing the support of the Miao knife, Ding Xiu's whole person pressed straight towards her.
Ruan Mo'an stretched out her hand to support him, but the weight of a big man and rain-soaked clothes was not something she could bear at all...... Therefore, Ruan Moan was decisive - hit the street.
Ruan Mo'an looked desperate, she raised her hand and silently took out a lady's cane from the system through the night, then supported herself to half-sit up, raised her hand and patted the head that fell in her arms.
"Hey, hey!" The black-haired hand in her palm was tied up, Ruan Mo'an would have shaken her hand with disgust if she was usual, but now she was covered with anxiety and worry, and she reached out and patted Ding Xiu's head in an orderly manner, "You wake up, don't sleep, you can't wake up if you fall asleep!" ”
"Puff ......" A sullen laugh suddenly came from his arms, Ruan Mo'an's right hand stiffened, "Ding Xiu, you ......"
"I'm just out of strength." A warm palm grabbed Ruan Mo'an's arm, and Ding Xiu struggled to pull out of Shen Lin's arms, lying on his back on the wet muddy ground, his eyes slightly closed, his eyelashes washed by the rain, and he seemed to be so weak that he didn't even have the strength to open his eyes.
But his chest trembled, and a faint laugh overflowed from his throat: "Haha...... You think I'm dead? ”
"......" Ruan Mo'an pulled the corners of his mouth in embarrassment, "Yes, I'm still thinking about going back and exchanging the gold coins I gave you before for silver tickets and burning them for you." ”
"Ahem...... It is better to exchange gold for fine wine, and pour it on my grave......"
"Phew, it's dead." Ruan Mo'an withdrew her cane, turned over and stood up, wiped her face with her sleeve, she squatted in front of Ding Xiu, looked at the other party's closed eyes and heavy gasps, and hesitated.
In the next second, he called out the peach and let the peach exchange the white wings from the system, although it was very painful to need 500 gold coins, but for Ding Xiu felt that it was worth it.
Ruan Mo'an took advantage of the wind with his wings flapping to effortlessly carry Ding Xiu to the carriage of the caravan...... No, it was probably a bit of a strain, and she felt that her wrists and little arms were sore and numb, which was very refreshing.
Ding Xiu, this guy didn't know if he was really out of strength or really believed in Ruan Mo'an, the whole person was motionless and collapsed in the carriage with his eyes closed, Ruan Mo'an took out the box in the car with a snort, and then reached out and pulled some gold ornaments and gold nuggets into the system, the whole process was extremely fast.
No matter how good Wei Zhongxian's old man is, it is estimated that he will not be able to delay the pace of Jinyiwei, and if she doesn't speed up a little, it is estimated that she will not be able to walk.
[Main Gold Coin Quest: Obtain 1000 taels of gold from Wei Zhongxian, quest completion 1000/1000]
As the white font in the task panel gradually faded, Ruan Mo'an exhaled relaxedly, she didn't look at the rest of the jewelry, taking advantage of Ding Xiu's coma, she changed her already soaked clothes by the way, put on a pair of [Northland Heroic] makeup, and then combed her hair into [Love Silk].
The black hair is scattered, Qi bangs are slightly covered eyebrows and eyes are full of heroism, Ruan Mo'an's lips are slightly hooked, and he is smiling! Now, it is estimated that no one will recognize her!
…… However, there is a very serious issue that needs to be addressed.
Ruan Mo'an pinched his chin and looked at the black-maned horse: "Hey, man, do you know how to drive a carriage?" ”
"Second brother, is Wei Gelding really dead?" The three horses drove side by side, and the brocade guard behind him was silently like a black cloud, Lu Jianxing frowned slightly and glanced back, lowered his voice and asked Shen Lian on the side in a low voice.
“…… Big brother, you don't believe me? Shen Lian was silent for a moment, his dark eyebrows and eyes looked at Lu Jianxing fiercely through the hat, Lu Jianxing was stunned, and then smiled bitterly, "I just don't know why, I'm always uneasy in my heart." ”
"Don't worry, with great merit in hand, the eldest brother will definitely be able to rise to hundreds of households and meet my uncle's wishes." Shen Lian retracted his gaze, lowered his eyes to hide the fluctuations in his eyes, and said in a flat tone: "Now we just need to transport Wei Zhongxian's body and belongings back to Jingshi." ”
"Yes." Lu Jianxing suppressed the inexplicable uneasiness in his heart and frowned.
The sound of rain and the sound of galloping horses' hooves came far away in the night, and Jin Yichuan, who had been silent on one side, covered his mouth and coughed, and suddenly said, "There is a carriage coming in this direction." ”
As soon as the words fell, Lu Jianxing and Shen Lian also heard the sound of horses' hooves and wheels galloping, although the sound of rain and muddy roads interfered with the judgment, but Shen Lian still said categorically after listening to it for a few seconds: "The sound of the wheels is very loud, and there are not many carriages on the horse, on such a road, that horse ...... Running too fast, it seems to be out of control. ”
At the critical moment of the task, an out-of-control horse galloped straight in their direction with a carriage, which made several people think a little more.
Lu Jianxing raised his hand and raised the embroidered spring knife in his hand, and shouted: "Stop the carriage in front!" ”
Everyone tacitly grasped the reins, and a few people in the rear arrived at the front to arrange tripping ropes, and then the group got out of the way and hid on the side of the road to wait for each other.
The heavy wheezing of the horses approached in the sound of the rain and the sound of the hooves treading in the mud, and the carriage jolted empty, and the curtains were occasionally lifted by the rain-soaked wind, revealing the empty carriages within.
"No one was driving and no one was in the car." Glancing at the galloping carriage from afar, the group quickly came to this conclusion.
Lu Jianxing muttered: "Bypass the carriage, let's continue to hurry, this may be someone who wants to deliberately hinder us." ”
"Could it be the hands and feet of the man and woman on the roof at that time?" Jin Yichuan suddenly thought of the woman on the roof at that time and the man who was suspected of being his senior brother, especially the Miao knife with very personal characteristics......
In just a few words, the carriage had galloped in front of him, the legs of the horses touched the stumbling ropes, and with a neighing sound, the horses and the carriage toppled heavily into the mud.
Even though it had been determined that there was no one in the car, there were still a few brocade guards who drew their knives to check forward, and Shen Lian and the three of them did not step forward, but took the first step to ride to the original direction.
"What's the point of holding us back for a moment?"
In the wind and rain, the murmur of doubt gradually dissipated......
No one noticed that just a few hundred meters above their heads, a woman with red cheeks was struggling to drag a feeble man, fluttering her wings and flying carefully over their heads......
After the dark shadow on the ground dispersed like a tide, Ruan Mo'an finally couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, if she fled in the opposite direction, first, she was not good at driving a carriage, and second, it was easy to be overtaken. After coming to this town, she and Ding Xiu's faces have been seen by many people, and it is estimated that they will be hunted down by Jinyiwei with the title of eunuch.
So......
Looking at the fire burning in the inn in the distance, Ruan Mo'an found a place to land, put Ding Xiu in a bush, hesitated, and pushed his arm: "Hey, Ding Xiu, are you awake?" ”
The blood on the man's face had already been washed away by the rain, and the rhythm of his chest rose and fell for a long time, as if he had fallen into a deep dream.
"Why do you have such long eyelashes for a big man?" Ruan Moan muttered and raised her hand to gently touch Ding Xiu's eyes, then pursed her lips, exchanged a handful of gold coins from the system and stuffed them into his arms, patted the other party's bulging chest, she sighed softly: "With this money, you should be able to drink until you are old...... With a generous employer like me, you'll probably never meet a second one in your life. ”
"I can still put on my face and continue to wave, but it's too obvious with you...... I don't know if you have any human skin masks or anything like that, if you do, you'd better buy one for yourself, and I can ask me for reimbursement when you meet you later...... But now, I'm going to disband the group and fly solo on my own. ”
Ruan Mo'an stood up as he spoke, took a step, and paused: "Actually, you're not asleep, are you?" ”
The breath of the man behind him was still long.
Ruan Mo'an breathed a long sigh of relief: "Okay, whether you are really asleep or fake asleep, I will treat you as if you are really asleep, if you meet me in the future and ask me some strange things, I will absolutely!" Absolute! Will pretend not to understand! ”
Taking another step, Ruan Mo'an scratched his head: "...... Also, don't sleep too long, although it is a small probability event, but it is very likely that this kind of thing will happen by Jinyiwei unfortunately......"
"Then I'm leaving!"
“…… I'm really gone. ”
"You don't blame me for being selfish, do you?"
“……”
“……”
Ruan Mo'an waited for a while, and when he saw that Ding Xiu didn't respond, he exchanged another blanket from the system and put it on Ding Xiu's body, and after making sure that he wouldn't catch a cold, he flew away.
The rain is subsiding, and the morning light is faint. The man's eyelashes twitched slightly, and his eyes met the pre-dawn darkness, dull and waveless.
