Chapter 48: Desperate Situation

I hurriedly took back the dagger in the man's hand, and without any time to clean up the battlefield, I followed Peony in another direction. After running for about a kilometer, we found a fairly large rock and hid behind it to treat the wound briefly.

"Seriously, I've only seen this kind of scene in the cinema, and I didn't expect to experience it in person."

Peony looked at me strangely, "In the family, assassinations and assassinations are not uncommon. ”

"I'm just an ordinary person."

"Then why, Hikoichi wants to kill you?"

"It's a bit complicated, so I'll tell you slowly when I have a chance in the future."

After resting for a while and recovering his strength, Peony has been paying attention to the surrounding environment, after all, there is still a team of people not to mention, and the white roses that are good at tracking have not yet appeared. I looked at Peony thoughtfully, and she met my eyes and asked, "So?" ”

"Now, this dagger is our only weapon, right?"

Peony looked embarrassed and nodded.

"Wait until we meet the last team, and we're doomed. Is it? ”

Peony still nodded.

"So, can we take the initiative to kill it?"

Peony looked at me in surprise, then took the dagger in my hand and said, "I understand." ”

"Is there anything I can do to help?"

Peony smiled, "If you go to use the two guns on the other side as bait, you will be sent to death, and you can only become a burden to me." Declare in advance, I will do my best, if I can't do anything, I will slip away by myself, you can ask for more blessings. ”

I reluctantly said, "That's how it should be." Then I took out half of the money in my bag and handed it to her, "Use this to go where you want to go, you have saved me so many times, I have to thank you no matter what." ”

Peony looked at the money in my hand in surprise for a moment, and finally took it and stuffed it into his jacket pocket.

……

Peony has been gone for a long time.

At this time, there was a sound of footsteps from behind, neither hurrying, nor slow, neither light nor heavy. But it sounds harsh to me! I turned around, and sure enough, I saw the face I didn't want to see, the white roseβ€”Fang Wei!

At this moment, she had taken off her sunglasses, revealing a delicate face, looking at me with a smile, and said, "What kind of means did you use to make Xiao Jing (Peony) sell your life?" ”

"You...... What do you mean? ”

"I've already discovered you, including everything you've done in the woods. If it weren't for the protection of you, Xiao Jing would definitely be able to hide to the point where I couldn't even find her, and easily escape alone. ”

"You're ...... Watching our companions be killed by us? ”

"To be precise, if you kill the little nettle, you are a burden. Anyway, they were hired by some money, and they didn't have to pay the balance when they died. ”

Suddenly, three gunshots rang out from the woods, and a startled bird rushed into the sky.

"Do you think it's the little beetle who survived or the two mercenaries left?" Although she was asking me, she was more like answering herself, and then pulled out a pistol and pointed it at me, "Is there anything else you want to say?" ”

I looked behind her and said, "Peony...... It's the little beetle in your mouth, is her stealth skill really so high? ”

"Unique."

I nodded, "So...... She's behind you at this time, and you can't notice it, can you? ”

Fang Wei was stunned for a moment, and then burst out laughing, "Hahaha...... Can you stop making such a fake joke, the gunfire just now was at least three hundred meters away, and it could have been behind me so soon. ”

"You see, she doesn't believe it." I whispered behind her.

People are like this, they know that something is fake, but they still want to confirm it under the trend of curiosity. It's like scratching the prize when I was a child, and after scratching out the words in the front, I still have to persistently scratch out the 'thank you for your patronage' in the back.

Fang Wei turned her head with a skeptical attitude, maybe she thought that I was already a person who had no ability to resist, and it was not in a hurry to kill me. And an important means of dealing with the enemy, in addition to hiding one's own advantages, is to exaggerate one's own disadvantages.

The moment she turned around, I jumped to my feet, grabbed her grip with one hand, and grabbed her neck with the other. Things didn't go as smoothly as I thought, and suddenly a dagger came out of her other hand, and stabbed me in the abdomen. Then she contracted her legs and kicked me away.

She stood up and pointed a gun at me again, seeming a little annoyed, "What a boring lie. ”

Forget it, I've done my best, I'm so comforting myself. I'm sorry...... Looks like I'm done here.

Bang! Bang!

Two gunshots passed, and my eyes snapped open.

Fang Wei was gradually falling down with his back to the sky, and then I saw ...... at the edge of the woods Peony! She was panting for breath, holding one in each hand, but she was no better, with many injuries on her body, the most serious being a bullet hole in her right shoulder and a stab wound under her right chest, which was bleeding incessantly.

Peony walked over and pointed to the bag, I understood what she meant, and quickly took out the last antiseptic and hemostatic medicine, and wiped them all on her wounds. She also saw the stab wound in my abdomen and told me to treat my own wound first.

"Is the warhead in there?" I asked Peony. If the warhead remains in the body, it will definitely be a big problem, and the whole arm will be scrapped.

"Passing through, should I say that I have fine skin and tender meat?" She smiled wryly.

After briefly treating the wound and bandaging it, Peony threw all the remaining drug bandages beside Fang Wei and took the gun in her hand.

"One shot in your right arm, another in your lower ribs, and I avoided both shots. With your ability, you can't die, but you have repaid the kindness you have taken care of me for the past ten years, sister. Peony said slightly.

Fang Wei said, "You don't have to get involved in this matter, with your ability, no one will find you when you hide." I failed this time, and the next time I'll come to you will be 'Violet' and 'Saffron'!" ”

Peony shook her head and struggled to get up, I wanted to help her, but I felt a sharp pain in my abdomen when I stood halfway through.

"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter who comes from. I'll find a way to live with him. ”

"Why, why did you protect him?"

Peony said, "As soon as Yan wants to kill him, I will protect him." I want him to know that using my 'peony' as an outcast is his greatest loss! ”

Peony and I helped each other out of here and continued to walk towards the river. The snow has not stopped, and the trees have gradually accumulated white. Probably because of the blood loss, I felt very cold, and Peony's body was shivering, which forced us to get closer, and then we simply hugged each other.

"Peony...... I'm a little tired. ”

"Don't stop...... Keep walking...... Now sit down and rest, and if you are not careful, you will fall asleep...... Can't get up anymore. Say something, something that will refresh you. ”

"Pounced on you the potty that day...... I'm sorry. ”

"If you dare to mention this again, I will kill you."

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Then you say. ”

"Do you know the 'saffron' in Fang Wei's mouth?"

"Assassins like you, right?"

"Yes, a true master of physical assassination. In white-knuckle combat, she had no problem with a hundred mercenaries like that. ”

"Really...... Quite refreshing, always feel ...... If you don't go quickly, you'll be chased by her. ”

"As for 'Violet', she usually wears a mask when she gets along with us, and it is said that ...... Everyone who has seen her for what she really is is dead. ”

"Can you ...... Say something else? ”

"For example?"

"Is your relationship going well?"

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

……

When we came to the river, the cold wind became stronger without the protection of the trees, and the time was approaching evening, and there was no boat shadow on the river at all. Originally, this Guna River was the only way for the port of Sabai Velun to go south through the East China Sea. There are many small wharves on the Guna River that are connected to Tianbei City, so Tianbei City has become the distribution center of these small wharves.

Peony and I looked at each other, and we both saw the helplessness in each other's eyes.

"You're seriously injured, or I'll stay here, and you go to the woods to take shelter first." I said to Peony.

Peony hesitated for a moment, and then his expression froze, "I seem to hear something." ”

I listened carefully, it seemed to be a movement in the woods behind me, could it be that there were still pursuers?

Just as I was surprised, a half-human hound suddenly burst out. Peony took a step forward and put her hand into her jacket, which was hidden and snatched. The hound was not in a hurry to pounce, and looked well-trained. So, the two of us were in a stalemate. Soon, footsteps were heard again where the hound had just come out, and a man in his sixties with a graying beard appeared there, holding a shotgun in his hand.
