Chapter 123: Besieged
People surrounded the small inn with torches.
Meng Yining's heart sank, how could he find their location so quickly?
"That's them! These two strangers are here today, and they must be them! ”
"Burn them! Avenge! I want revenge! ”
"Murderer! I saw it with my own eyes! ”
Meng Yining heard a familiar voice, took a slight look, and saw the old man standing in the middle of the crowd with a cane. In the night wind, it was like a white mouse, and the face of the sharp-beaked monkey was covered with dark clouds.
She looked at Le Yi's bright eyes, "It's too late to explain now." ”
"Get out, what else?" Le Yi shrugged, trying to ease the tension a little.
She nodded, picked up her sword, and got up.
The noise of the middle of the night startled the small city, and everyone gathered around the small inn. The inn was only two stories high, and it seemed that the breathing of those people was in Meng Yining's ears. The inn is too small, there is no backyard, and you either have to kill it up the stairs or leap through the windows. Of course, it is obviously impossible to rush out in a grand manner.
There were many people outside, shouting and making noise.
Le Yi pushed open the window, and the people below looked up at them, and the old man spat at the sky, "Catch them!" At the sound of an order, more than a dozen young men rushed into the small inn with their legs kicked. This small wooden structure crumbles in the night, and the floor on the first floor is like an iron rider stepping on.
Meng Yining's delicate face was sprinkled with moonlight, as if something had nothing to do with her. She opened her mouth slightly and asked softly, "Are you leaving?" ”
"Are you ready?" Le Yi smiled and stretched out.
Meng Yining didn't feel the danger approaching at all, took Le Yi's hand, picked up the window, and suddenly flew out like a swallow escaping from the cage, setting off a cool breeze above everyone's heads. The torches in people's hands swayed, and they opened their mouths in surprise to watch the two people come out one after the other.
The middle-aged man who rushed upstairs didn't even catch a corner of his clothes.
Stand up, fly.
Meng Yining's clothes were flying, her long hair was fluttering, and in the blink of an eye, the two of them had fallen behind everyone. Her cold smile fell just in time to the old man's burning roar, "Catch them!" ”
In the roar, everyone saw the prey rushing. With the noisy movement behind him, Le Yi pulled Meng Yining and rushed towards the deep mountains next to him. The blade in Le Yi's hand was shining, reflecting the shadow of the girl next to him. He took Meng Yining's slender hand, which was as cold as white jade.
Both of them felt that this sudden action was a little less cautious, but they did not regret or consider. He pulled her, the wind whistling in his ears, and the stars moving above his head. Her white fox fur scarf was warm, and her cheeks were red, like hibiscus flowers blooming in the palace.
"Be careful!" Le Yi heard the movement, pulled Meng Yining hard, and threw her to the other side.
The man behind him set up a bow and crossbow, and a meteor shot like two people.
Suddenly, a clear sound of horses' hooves came from a distance, and the horses galloped with their hooves raised, their eyes dark and bright, as fast as thunder and lightning.
"Get on the horse!"
Le Yi turned over and tightened the reins, and sideways grabbed Meng Yining by the waist. After a while, the red snake cut off a few flying arrows, "I thought the horse was pulled away by someone else." ”
"I hid it in the haystack at the back of the inn."
Le Yi had a fragrant fragrance of grass on her body, and she sat in his arms, the wind rushing through her chest.
The rockets in the sky behind him came one after another, landing on the wild grass behind him, and suddenly the fire was full of eyes. "Sit tight!" Le Yi kicked the horse's abdomen hard, and the horse roared and rushed towards the dark forest like a cloud.
Le Yi released the reins with both hands, took advantage of the situation to draw the bow and arrow from the cloth bag that he straddled on the horse, and fired three in unison, and the person on the opposite side fell to the ground in response. The young man's calm appearance made the old man's heart itch with hatred.
"You can shoot arrows!" Meng Yining's eyes widened and said in surprise.
Le Yi smiled, "A little bit of everything." Yining, hold me tight! ”
The girl unconsciously wrapped her arms around the young man, and the two of them howled away like a violent wind, rolling up large sparks and grass.
"What can I do, I can't let them escape."
The figures of the two gradually faded away, leaving traces of galloping on the barren grassland.
The old man looked at the disappearing back and firmly highlighted four words: "Set fire to the mountain." ”
The city was built on a mountain, and the deep mountain they ran to was not big, and behind it was a cliff. The old man said, "They killed our brothers, and they set fire to the house, and there were no dead bodies!" Even if they die ten times, they won't be able to get back the lives of their brothers! ”
"The old man is right! We live a peaceful and stable life, how can we get out of the rogue bandits! If you don't kill them, heaven will not tolerate them! Set fire to the mountain! The storyteller also stepped forward in the crowd.
"Set fire to the mountain!"
"Set fire to the mountain!"
Torches were lit, and the crowd poured oil on the trees in indignation. The torch ignited the silent forest in an instant, and the flames flew upwards like a dragon. The firelight illuminates the faces of the people.
"Avenge your brothers!"
"Revenge!"
No one asked why Meng Yining and Le Yi would kill people, and hatred burned in everyone's eyes. When the fire is extinguished, the charred corpse must be broken into thousands of pieces and thrown into the river.
After the two of them rushed for a while, they finally rested, and Meng Yining's chest rose and fell, panting. Le Yi also sweated on his forehead, and his whole person was panting.
"Stealing chickens doesn't make rice." Meng Yining said stupidly.
Le Yi smiled, "It's not like you know something, so don't be too depressed." We can only rest for a while now, and then find another way out. ”
She crossed her hands and leaned against the trunk of the tree, "I always have a bad feeling in my heart. They have been in ambush here for at least ten or twenty years, what exactly is it for? Also, what are they looking for? This wilderness is not a place of hidden treasures...... Do you think there will be gold buried here? ”
Le Yi shook his head, "If it's for the sake of a treasure that comes out of nowhere, it's too much effort and effort, I don't think it's possible." What is Yan Rong missing? ”
"I don't know, in my impression, Yan Rong lacks nothing and has a vast territory. If there is really something missing, it is that Yanrong was originally a tribe formed by nomadic people, which is naturally inferior to farming. But if you are lurking in other countries for these reasons, it is too much to say. She bit her sleeve and rolled her eyes.
Le Yi was also puzzled, "Forget it, let's get out." They don't have that many people, and they certainly won't be able to surround us, besides, ......"
"What's that?"
Meng Yining interrupted him, and saw a burning red not far away.
Fire!
Why did the fire burn the mountain?
