In the not very smooth and narrow mountain road, a horse-drawn carriage moved unhurriedly by the light of a few stars in the night sky.

In the carriage, Lu Xiang'er was wearing a cloak, holding the hand stove in both hands, drowsy. Song Yuan sat in the corner, under the flickering candlelight, his eyes were a little wandering towards the book in his hand, and he didn't know what he was thinking. Xiao Wu outside the carriage was dressed very warmly, but he was very tired, and his spirit was not as good as just now.

The three people in the carriage didn't expect that on the hillside next to the end of this mountain road, there were two shadows holding swords glowing with cold light, confronting each other. In the faint starlight, it can still be seen that the two people facing each other are a man and a woman, both exhaling heavily. From the undulating bodies of the two and the branches on the ground around them, it can be seen that the two have just gone through a fierce chase and fight.

Among them, the fierce-looking man seemed to have regained some strength, and opened his mouth slightly to make a hoarse voice: "Chaoxia, as long as you go back with me, I can act as if nothing happened." ”

"Don't think about it." The voice of the woman on the opposite side did not have a trace of warmth, but it was very young: "Now only you and I are left, it is the best moment for us to leave." If you don't want to leave, then let it be, but don't try to pull me. If you hadn't threatened my stepfather's life, would you think you would still be alive? ”

"Asaka, I don't care about that. I'll tell you tonight if you want to leave, unless you die or I die. Otherwise, you will flee to the ends of the earth, and you will not be able to accommodate yourself in the Great Zhou Dynasty. The fierce man's eyes narrowed, but the fierce light could not be concealed. And as he showed a letter in his arms, the cold face of the woman opposite finally changed.

The young woman's change of color made the fierce man very proud, and there was some arrogance in his tone: "Chaoxia, for so many years, your martial arts have always been inferior to mine." So, it's delusional that you want to get this contract. Why don't you go back with me, how about we still want to be the same? ”

The young woman's face changed a few times, and she finally regained her composure. There was a resoluteness in her eyes, but her tone was still so cold: "My father-in-law is no longer alive, and you are resting and threatening me." Even if I die here, I won't go back. ”

"Chaoxia, since you insist on this, then as long as I send you on the road, I won't allow myself to leave behind." When the fierce man saw that the woman opposite was still the same, his murderous intent suddenly rose. As soon as his voice fell, he threw himself at the woman opposite.

The young woman did not dodge because of the fierce man's fierce approach, but met him face to face. In an instant, a man and a woman exchanged hands on this hillside. Between the two of you, you and I went back and forth, only to see two swords intersecting, sparks flying. Occasionally, through the starlight, you can see two cold lights dancing rapidly. If there is no sound, looking at it from a distance, it really looks like a 'mountain demon is doing chaos'.

After a while, only a muffled snort was heard, and the two figures quickly separated. The fierce man clutched his chest and slowly fell to the ground with a look of disbelief, his weak voice full of doubts: "Impossible, you can't hurt me." How could it be, how could it ......"

"My father-in-law has long seen that you are not right-hearted, and after taking you as an apprentice, he asked me to leave a trick to deal with you specifically." The young woman glanced disdainfully at the man on the ground, and when she saw that he finally closed her eyes, she turned and walked away.

The young woman did not expect that as soon as she left, a man in ragged clothes suddenly appeared in the woods. Although I couldn't see his appearance clearly, I could see that he was very scared. He walked around the man on the ground a few times before rummaging through the money. However, when the cries of some large carnivore sounded from the depths of the woods, the man ran away with what he had found in his arms.

At the same time, the young woman, who had already walked a long way, suddenly held on to a tree, opened her mouth and vomited a large mouthful of blood. As soon as this blood came out, the sword in her hand also fell, and her body shook slightly. After shaking for a while, she finally fainted. Unfortunately, she was on a steep hill, and she fainted and rolled straight down the mountain.

Xiao Wu was dozing off when he heard a movement on the mountain next to him, and as soon as he raised his head, he saw a very human-shaped object rolling to the front of the carriage. Seeing that the carriage was about to roll over, Xiao Wu hurriedly pulled the reins. With a long neigh, the carriage stopped suddenly, and Xiao Wu was also in a cold sweat because of fright. Because by the starlight, Xiao Wu could clearly see a person lying one step away from the horse's hooves.

Lu Xiang'er and Song Yuan in the car crashed into the carriage one after another due to the sudden stop. Song Yuan was better, his martial arts were good, he reacted quickly, and he didn't hit too hard. And Lu Xiang'er, who was about to fall asleep, really hit the back of her head, and her tears came out of pain.

Song Yuan saw Lu Xiang'er's tears, and he was a little angry in his heart, his voice was very low but with effort, and he shouted: "Xiao Wu, how did you drive......

"First of all, sir, there is someone here, and the little one is almost going to run over her." Xiao Wu heard Song Yuan's voice, and then thought back to the voice just now, and understood that it was either Song Yuan or Lu Xiang'er who had hit it, and hurriedly got out of the car and bowed down to Song Yuan to ask for guilt. Naturally, with Song Yuan, Xiao Wu's life was much more comfortable than before, he didn't want to be sold by Song Yuan and return to his former life.

"Someone? It's so late, and this mountain road is still so remote, how can there be pedestrians. Song Yuan had some doubts in his heart and was about to get out of the car to take a look. However, he still comforted Lu Xiang'er first, and said softly: "Xiang'er, how are you, are you seriously injured." Why don't you wait until you return to Qingshi County, please take a look. ”

"It's all right, sir. Xiang'er just touched her head, but she didn't come out of the bag, so there should be nothing wrong. Lu Xiang'er gently rubbed the back of her head, but she also wanted to get out of the car to see who would appear on the remote mountain road so late.

Seeing Lu Xiang'er's eyes, Song Yuan understood what she meant, and immediately glared at her: "It's so late, you don't know how to avoid it as a girl." Honestly stay in the car, I'll go down and take a look. After speaking, Song Yuan lifted the curtain and got out of the car.

Feeling the cold air rushing in from outside, Lu Xiang'er muttered about the 'evil old society' while wrapping herself in the inner cloak again, holding the hand stove tightly. At this time, Lu Xiang'er, who was no longer sleepy, was very curious to guess the identity of the stranger outside, as well as various experiences of that person.

Outside the carriage, Song Yuan was half-squatting beside the young woman, his face a little ugly. Song Yuan is not a nerd who doesn't know anything, after discovering that the person in front of him is a woman, he understands that there must be something involved in this woman. Seeing the blood at the corner of the woman's mouth and her pale face, Song Yuan immediately knew that she had suffered internal injuries. thus realized that the matter involved by this woman must not be small.

Xiao Wu, who was standing on the side, saw the beauty of this little lady clearly, and was a little overwhelmed by her, and wanted Song Yuan to save her. Thinking of his identity, and the fact that Lu Xiang'er had just been injured, Xiao Wu moved his lips, but he didn't say anything. In Xiao Wu's heart, he kept saying, save her, save her.

Xiao Wu didn't know that Song Yuanzheng was a little embarrassed at this time, whether he wanted to save the person in front of him. Saving her may cause a lot of trouble. Although Song Yuan is not afraid of trouble, he is afraid that this 'trouble' will involve Lu Xiang'er and the Lu family; if he doesn't save her, Lu Xiang'er who is sitting in the car will definitely have a problem with him, and then affect Lu Erniang's impression of him, which is really a big loss.

"Mr. Song, stay in, it's going to be dawn." Lu Xiang'er, who was sitting in the car, couldn't hear any sound of speech for a long time, and finally couldn't help the curiosity in her heart and lifted the curtain.

Lu Xiang'er poked her head out of the carriage and saw a person lying motionless in front of the carriage. And it seemed that she was still a woman, so Lu Xianger jumped out of the car. Walked quickly to Song Yuan's side and looked at the woman lying on her back on the ground.

The woman was about fourteen or fifteen years old, her face was pale, there were some blood stains on the corners of her mouth, and her brow was slightly furrowed. Even so, it couldn't hide the woman's beautiful face. I don't know why, Lu Xiang'er felt that this woman was very kind and wanted to be close to her.

Song Yuan didn't expect Lu Xiang'er to get out of the car, so he quickly got up and said, "Xiang'er, it's cold at night in the mountains, you go back to the car quickly." If you get sick, your aunt will be worried. ”

"I'm fine, sir." Lu Xiang'er waved her hand, then pointed to the woman on the ground and said, "Sir, she's not dead yet, is she?" ”

"No, I just had internal injuries and fainted." Song Yuan saw that Lu Xiang'er was so persistent, so he had to aggravate his tone on 'internal injury'. He believed that with Lu Xiang'er's cleverness, he should have thought that this woman was not an ordinary person. If you want to save it, you will definitely get into trouble.

Sure enough, Lu Xiang'er was silent and lowered her head. Xiao Wu looked at Song Yuan and then at Lu Xiang'er, and then felt that this matter did not seem to be as simple as he thought. Lu Xiang'er is in Xiao Wu's heart, but she is the best person. Now even Lu Xiang'er hesitated, it seems that the person in front of her should not be saved. Thinking of this, Xiao Wu no longer looked at the woman on the ground, but turned back to check whether the carriage was damaged.

Song Yuan felt that the cold was getting heavier and heavier, so he thought about persuading Lu Xiang'er to go back to the carriage. Unexpectedly, Lu Xiang'er spoke before him and said, "Sir, Xiang'er really can't do anything to sit idly by. And this man doesn't seem to want to be a vicious person. Looking at her dress, she looks a little like the ranger that Mr. talked about. Didn't Mr. say that those rangers are all righteous, and they shouldn't hurt ordinary people. ”

"Xiang'er, have you really thought about it?" Song Yuan didn't expect that Lu Xiang'er would save this person even though she knew that there would be trouble. However, Song Yuan's heart was also relieved. In fact, he didn't want little Lu Xiang'er to have such a ruthless heart, throw away a life and leave.

When Lu Xiang'er heard Song Yuan's tone, she knew that he agreed. Hurriedly called the twelve-year-old Xiao Wu and lifted the young woman to the carriage. Because Song Yuan was afraid of the difference between men and women, he could only help lift the curtain on the side, and he had to let the car box out and be with Xiao Wu.
