Chapter 226: Tokens
Qian Qianqian raised her eyebrows lightly, grabbed Xiao Mohan's hand, and didn't care about the displeasure on Xiao Mohan's face, and tied the red rope with copper bells around his wrist, so that he couldn't hide it even if he wanted to.
"Alright, let's go." Qian Qianqian's red lips were lightly raised, a touch of beauty appeared between her eyebrows, and she walked ahead after speaking, Xiao Mohan looked down at the red rope on her wrist, and then looked at Qian Qianqian's back, and a smile crossed her lips without a trace.
The marks in this forest are very coherent, it seems that those people in the central country are really careful in doing things, if they are really lost in the forest, they will definitely be able to go down the mountain by following these marks.
"Look here, how can there be a string of footprints?" Qian Qianqian suddenly stopped and looked up at Xiao Mohan, and Xiao Mohan also discovered this.
This small area of land is not so dense with weeds, and the soil is very soft, so it is easy to leave footprints, and looking at these footprints, it should be a man, and there should be several people.
Xiao Mohan raised his hand and made a silent gesture, pulling Qian Qianqian to hide in the grass on the side, it was obvious that those assassins were nearby.
"You just hide here, don't make a sound." Xiao Mohan gave Qian Qianqian a look, it seemed that he wanted to let Qian Qianqian stay out of the matter, although Qian Qianqian was reluctant in her heart, but she didn't want Xiao Mohan to have worries.
Qian Qianqian nodded, and then Xiao Mohan walked out, Qian Qianqian kept watching the movements around her, but it didn't take long for Xiao Mohan's figure to disappear.
After a long time, there was no movement around, and Xiao Mohan didn't come back, Qian Qianqian couldn't help but feel apprehensive in her heart, and wanted to go out to find Xiao Mohan, but she was afraid that she would startle the snake and ruin Xiao Mohan's big thing, so she hid in the grass and couldn't sit still.
Suddenly, there seemed to be a sound of fighting in front of her, Qian Qianqian became alert, clenched the copper bell on her wrist, her expression became solemn, and her heart gradually hung in her throat.
A terrible scream came, Qian Qianqian couldn't sit still anymore, and immediately stood up, no matter what, she had to find Xiao Mohan and let her leave Xiao Mohan down the mountain alone, she couldn't do it anyway.
Getting closer and closer to the source of the sound, Qian Qianqian became more nervous, and when she opened the branches in front of her, she saw that Xiao Mohan had solved the assassin in front of her with a sword, and now there was only one left.
Seeing Xiao Mohan turn around suddenly, the long sword in his hand was still dripping blood, and the assassin took a few steps back, seeing that the general trend was gone, he wanted to smear oil on the soles of his feet.
But the assassin's speed was far from being able to catch up with Xiao Mohan's speed, and soon, the blood-stained sword was on the assassin's neck.
Seeing this scene, Qian Qianqian walked over slowly, although the assassin was captured by Xiao Mohan, he did not put down the blade in his hand, and it could be seen that he still wanted to fight to the death.
Xiao Mohan was not polite, he didn't give the assassin a chance to breathe at all, and kicked the assassin's knee, forcing the assassin to drop his blade and fall to his knees.
"General, you Xiao people often say that you can kill but not humiliate, and now I have fallen into your hands, it is the calamity of my own life, if you want to kill or chop, listen to me, but you can't insult me at will."
The assassin bowed his body, and under Xiao Mohan's oppression, his face was almost touching the ground, but he still held on, clenching his teeth, it seemed that the people of the central country were really not soft bones.
"It seems that General Ben really underestimates you, you are so backbone, but at this time, if you want to save your life, backbone will not play a role."
Xiao Mo laughed coldly, he found these assassins just now, so he was unexpected, and he caught these assassins off guard, completely disgraced, so that these assassins had no room to fight back.
"Hmph, I was born as a person of the Central Kingdom, and I am a ghost of the Central Kingdom when I die, if the general wants me to betray the Central Kingdom, it is impossible, I would rather bite my tongue and kill myself."
The assassin was also very persistent, and did not mean to bow his head at all, his hands clenched into fists, and a layer of cold sweat oozed from his forehead.
"General Ben doesn't want to dig something out of your mouth, he just wants to get something from you, no matter what, you have to give it."
Xiao Mohan grabbed the assassin's neck and tightened it so violently that the assassin couldn't even breathe, and then reached into the assassin's waist with his other hand and took out a small blood-red jade whistle.
The assassin's eyes widened, and he kept staring at the whistle in Xiao Mohan's hand, as if he couldn't wait to grab it, but he really didn't have any spare strength, so he could only let Xiao Mohan slaughter it.
Xiao Mohan got the jade whistle and let go of the assassin, who struggled to get up on the ground and wanted to pounce on the jade whistle, but was kicked down by Xiao Mohan.
"General Ben guessed right, this whistle is really on you, among these dead soldiers, you should be a commander."
Xiao Mo laughed coldly, put the whistle into his sleeve, his deep eyes were full of temptation, his sword eyebrows were slightly raised, and his eyebrows were heroic.
"Well, give me back the whistle." The Assassin's voice grew lower, gasping for breath as he struggled violently on the ground.
"You poisoned the moat of Jincheng and killed a lot of people, so let you taste the poison this time."
Xiao Mohan took out a white porcelain bottle from his sleeve, poured out two pills from it, ripped off the face towel on the assassin's face, and forcibly stuffed the pill into the assassin's mouth.
"This is a poison developed by yourself, and the general's people just added something to it, so you can bear it."
The assassin twitched violently on the ground, a lot of black blood flowed from his mouth, and his whole body shrunk into a ball, and he kept rolling his eyes, looking at the pain as if he would die at any moment.
Qian Qianqian watched all this, and she didn't make a sound, in fact, it wasn't that she didn't want to make a sound, but Xiao Mohan did all this too quickly, and she didn't have time to make a sound.
"Let's go." Xiao Mohan turned his head and looked straight at Qian Qianqian, only a faint reminder, and Qian Qianqian came back to her senses.
"Then he ......" Qian Qianqian wanted to speak and stopped, although she knew that this assassin deserved it, but looking at this assassin's pain, her heart was still a little moved.
"This is his retribution, and don't forget how many innocent people have been killed by the water in the moat."
Xiao Mohan seemed to see Qian Qianqian's thoughts, so he explained lightly, there was no ripple in his eyes, and his face was full of alienation.
Qian Qianqian's heart also calmed down, following in Xiao Mohan's footsteps, she no longer looked at this assassin, but she was a little interested in the jade whistle in Xiao Mohan's hand.
"Why did you take this jade whistle? Is there anything special about this jade whistle? ”
Qian Qianqian looked Xiao Mohan up and down, her eyes were full of inquiry, although she had been through many days, she was not very familiar with many things in this era.
"The dead soldiers raised by the central country are usually five in a team, one of them is the commander, and he holds a token that can communicate with the boss and other dead soldiers, and this token is the jade whistle."
Xiao Mohan explained lightly that he had to deal with these assassins, and it was because of this that as long as he got this jade whistle, he would be able to find out the other dead soldiers of the Yang Kingdom who were ambushed in this Jin City, so it was extremely important.
"I see, it seems that these assassins have been unable to steal chickens and lose rice."
Qian Qianqian nodded slightly, and finally realized in her heart that compared with Xiao Mohan, she was still a little tenderer, and she was inferior in many things.
"By the way, where was the place where we found the roots of the turtle just now?" Qian Qianqian seemed to think of something, suddenly stopped, and her expression became solemn.
Xiao Mohan looked around, and then found that they didn't seem to know where they were going, the leaves above their heads were dense, and they could only see wisps of sunlight, so they didn't know what time it was.
"You can't go any further, follow the signs and go back."
Xiao Mohan immediately made a decision, if they continued to move forward, they didn't know what they would encounter, and they would definitely not be able to get out of this dense forest, let alone find medicinal herbs.
If it weren't for those assassins who suddenly came out, Qian Qianqian and Xiao Mohan would probably have found all the wood turtle roots and were ready to go down the mountain, and they wouldn't even know where they were going by now.
Gradually, the sky became darker, and the forest was already darker than the outside, so it may not be long before the forest was completely dark.
Xiao Mohan and Qian Qianqian walked for a long time, and they didn't return to the place they came over just now, and those few Yangguo assassins still left a hand, and when they looked for it carefully, there were many tree trunks in the woods with such special marks, which were extremely confusing to others, and even Xiao Mohan couldn't distinguish the truth from those marks.
"What to do? Looks like we're going to spend the night in this forest tonight. Qian Qianqian saw that she and Xiao Mohan had been going around in circles in this forest, and she couldn't help but become anxious, if it was really dark, then they wouldn't want to go down the mountain today.
"Now we're going to either go down the mountain or spend the night in this wood, which one do you choose?"
Xiao Mohan also stopped, and asked Qian Qianqian seriously, this really stopped her, if she went down the mountain, it must be safe, but the wood turtle root hadn't been found enough, they finally went back to the mountain, if they just left, they had to come tomorrow, it would be a waste of time, but if they didn't go, it would be too dangerous to stay in this forest after dark.
"If I don't leave, the people in Jincheng can't wait, so we can't continue to grind."
Qian Qianqian thought for a moment, and finally chose the latter, her eyes were burning, and she was very sure.
Xiao Mohan knew that she would not leave, in fact, it was superfluous to ask her just now, in Xiao Mohan's opinion, she was by no means a person who was greedy for life and afraid of death, but did not achieve her goal and vowed not to give up.
"Okay, then I'll go with you." Xiao Mohan lightly hooked his thin lips and reached out to hug Qian Qianqian, but was pushed away by Qian Qianqian.
"Do you have a fire fold on you?" Qian Qianqian brushed the clothes on her body, changed her words, and said with some doubts, spending the night in this forest, I am afraid it will be very troublesome without fire.
"When you're away from home, this kind of thing is naturally indispensable."
Xiao Mohan didn't care, he had been fighting in the army for many years, and he had already learned to take precautions, so he didn't need to be reminded by others, he would do it, and this time it was the same, somehow, when he left the palace, he had a little premonition, and felt that he might not be able to go back tonight.
