88. Life and death alternate

Ying Shi seemed to have expected him to refuse, lifted the corner of the veil, and drank the bowl of wine himself. The lips that swallowed the wine were slightly raised, and a dagger had already stabbed at Xiao Zhen.

Xiao Zhen lay backwards and lay down, avoiding the dagger at the vital point. But Ying Shi seemed to have made a great deal of determination, and this time the stab was fast and hard, and the dagger cut through his clothes, leaving a bloody mark on his chest.

Ying Shi didn't stop, he pounced again, and stabbed Xiao Zhen again and again. She hadn't practiced any kung fu, and her physical strength was far inferior to Xiao Zhen, but she was agile, and every time she stabbed Xiao Zhen's vital point, she clearly wanted to kill him on the spot.

Xiao Zhen calculated every step correctly, but forgot that his opponent was not only the eldest princess of the Qin Kingdom, but also a woman who could cry, laugh and be jealous. A woman's jealousy is the most terrible poison in the world. She waited until this time, finished the dance that she couldn't dance that year, and held the wine that symbolized a girl's spring heart in front of Xiao Zhen with both hands.

But Xiao Zhen still rejected her.

The nobles sitting around were stunned by this scene, and they didn't know who shouted "There is an assassin" first, and then someone hurriedly summoned the guards.

Soldiers in silver armor gathered around, and although they were hastily assembled, their steps were not chaotic at all. Xiao Zhen immediately understood that Ying Shi was no longer the little princess she was back then, and today's bowl of wine, whether to receive it or not is a dead word. She had already arranged for someone to kill him here. That dance is just a tribute to Ying Shi's first love that died without a problem.

Xiao Zhen can't make a move on Ying Shi, as long as Ying Shi pulls off the veil, he will be labeled as a rebel, and it is even more impossible to escape. Xiao Zhen hooked with his foot, and several jars of wine on the table fell to the ground, he took out the fire fold, lit it a few times during the scuffle before igniting it, and threw it out, and the fire "whew" and burned.

The place where the banquet was held was open and empty, surrounded by woods on all sides, and the fire that Xiao Zhen lit could only temporarily separate others. He had no choice but to grab a horse and flee into the woods. Entering the dense bushes, the vision immediately became dim, and the chasing soldiers could only draw their bows and arrows and shoot indiscriminately.

Xiao Zhen touched it in his arms, and the only fire fold had been thrown out, and it was impossible to set it on fire again. Just like that, a cold arrow shot from behind. By the time he heard the sound of arrows breaking through the air, the arrows were heading straight for the back of his heart. He loosened the stirrup, leaned over and rolled to the ground, the horse continued to gallop forward, and Xiao Zhen climbed a big rock to hide behind.

The military boots stepped on the grass not far in front of him, the silver buckle on the boots was faintly glowing, and the general's voice was also extremely clear: "The princess has an order, close the mountain and search, you must see people alive and corpses when you die." Half of them continued to chase, and the rest searched here inch by inch. ”

Xiao Zhen secretly screamed that it was not good, this mountain forest is so big, it won't be long before it will be discovered. He touched his shoulder blade, and half of the arrow was gone, leaving only half of the tail of the arrow outside. The arrow came too quickly just now, and he avoided the key point of the vest, but he couldn't dodge it completely.

Far from being painful, the wound felt itchy. This is really not a good sign, the arrow should be quenched with poison, in any case, you must get out of here before the poison occurs. Below the north cliff of Xiangshan is a small river, and the people brought by Xuanwu are waiting there.

The soldiers divided into small teams and searched carefully in the grass all the way, pushing aside the grass, not looking at whether there was anyone inside, and first raising their knives and slashing indiscriminately. Where is this "to see people in life, and to see corpses in death", this clearly means that no matter after death, he will become a corpse on the spot.

There were two soldiers who were not very tall, and they were getting closer and closer to the place where Xiao Zhen was hiding. Xiao Zhen used his uninjured hand to find his personal dagger, and waited for them to get closer before he could make a move.

He leaned down and listened intently to the footsteps of the two men, five, four, and three...... The two soldiers suddenly stopped, Xiao Zhen slowly turned his head to look behind him, and a colorful tiger half a man tall was stopping behind him, and the corners of his mouth were dripping with this wet saliva.

Xiao Zhen couldn't cry or laugh, could it be that his ending in the history books was going to be eaten by a tiger.

The two soldiers had apparently seen the tiger as well, and one of them had already begun to complain to the other: "I just said don't go so far, you don't listen, what should I do now?" ”

Xiao Zhen slowly lay down, the tiger was more dangerous than the two soldiers, so he could only take advantage of the tiger to jump up to deal with it first, and then find a way to deal with the two soldiers.

A strange whistle sounded in midair, and the tiger lowered its body and suddenly leaped forward. Xiao Zhen stared at its movements, and when it jumped above him, he was about to stab the knife into its soft abdomen.

As soon as his hand was raised, where the tiger jumped out, another person rushed out and twisted Xiao Zhen's wrist. Looking at it through the moonlight, Han Chong's heroic face appeared in front of him, glaring at Xiao Zhen viciously.

Han Chong pressed Xiao Zhen with both hands, biting a piece of turquoise in his mouth, making a "whine" sound. The tiger heard the sound and flapped its paws at the two soldiers without hesitation.

"You're here to kill me, too?" Xiao Zhen raised his eyebrows and did not struggle, in fact, he had already begun to feel that the arm that was hit by the arrow had become numb.

Han Chong bit the bamboo whistle, and his speech was a little unclear: "Are you blind?" If I want to kill you, will I need to spend so much effort? With a strong smell of gunpowder in his words, he had already arrived near Xiangshan two days ago, disguised as a local hunter, and secretly stared at the nobles of the Qin State who came to participate in the spring hunting ceremony. This whistle that can only control the tiger was bought from real hunters at a great cost.

With just a few words, the tiger had already pounced on the two soldiers. Han Chong blew the whistle, and the tiger obediently ran back to Han Chong's side.

Han Chong pulled Xiao Zhen up, saw him staggering, and threw him on the tiger's back. The tiger did not recognize the stranger's scent, and arched himself to let out an angry growl. Han Chong bit the bamboo whistle and blew a few short and sharp sounds, and the tiger stood up honestly and didn't throw Xiao Zhen down.

"Go to the North Cliff," Xiao Zhen hurriedly said while he was still conscious, "Xuanwu will take someone to wait for me there." ”

Han Chong hugged his arms and looked at him with a smile: "Your kid is not small, as if Lao Tzu deserves to be called by you." After speaking, he blew the bamboo whistle and walked towards the north cliff with Xiao Zhen.

Xiao Zhen was lying on the back of the tiger, and his vision was getting blurred more and more. When he estimated that the direction was about the same, he learned the birdsong common in the mountains and whistled a few times. After a pause, he repeated the same tune as he had just whistled.

"I asked Xuanwu to come up and answer him, and you can leave when he comes." He explained to Han Chong.

Han Chong snorted disdainfully, dragged Xiao Zhen and put him behind a big tree. He spat the bamboo whistle on the ground and slapped it on the tiger's head, causing it to run into the bushes.

After waiting for a while, Xuanwu took five elites of the Golden Eagle Guard, clinging to the cliff of the north cliff, and climbed up. Xuanwu saw Xiao Zhen sitting on the ground, rushed up first, and asked eagerly, "Why did you do it in advance?" Tonight the mountains are full of soldiers searching the mountains. ”

Xiao Zhen raised his hand and patted Xuanwu on the shoulder: "It's Ying Shi who starts first and wants to get rid of me." ”

Xuanwu only noticed at this time that Xiao Zhen's shoulder was oozing black blood, and without Han Chong's help, he was afraid that it would be difficult for him to get here smoothly. Xuanwu and Xiao Zhen are like brothers, and they understand Xiao Zhen's temper, so he saluted Han Chong and thanked him: "Today's great kindness, Xuanwu remembers it, and it will definitely be repaid in the future." ”

Han Chong sneered: "You just promise each other with your body, and Lao Tzu is not uncommon." ”

Xiao Zhen and Xuanwu glanced at him together, and both of them recognized that this person was General Fei who had fought before, but they didn't expect such a handsome person to speak with a ruffian, and they didn't know where such a big temper came from.

Time was pressing, Xuanwu discussed with Xiao Zhen in a low voice, went around to the bottom of the cliff, and then left Xiangshan along the river. As soon as the words fell, countless torches suddenly lit up in the depths of the woods, and under the light of the fire, soldiers with bows and crossbows surrounded the small group of people from three directions.

There were originally rattans that could be used to climb under the cliff, but Xiao Zhen couldn't use half of his arm to exert his strength, and now he couldn't escape with those rattans. Even if he successfully slid down the cliff, he couldn't sneak underwater to the place where the horses were hidden, as he had planned, and his plan had been completely disrupted.

Han Chong suddenly came over with a smile: "Xiao Zhen, I'm a good person to the end, help you lead these people away, but you have to give me some compensation." He reached out to remove Xiao Zhen's mask and said jokingly: "I think this thing on your body is still valuable, so you might as well give it to me." ”

Xiao Zhen tilted his head and dodged his hand. Xuanwu didn't believe that Han Chong would be so kind, nor did he understand what he had to do with this mask, and looked at him vigilantly.

Han Chong looked at Xiao Zhen with some ridicule in his eyes: "Maybe your children have been born now, don't you want to go back and see it quickly?" ”

Hearing this, Xiao Zhen grabbed Han Chong's collar suddenly, and his tone was full of eagerness: "Have you ever seen a little ballad?" She...... How is she? ”

Han Chong said slowly: "I won't tell you, if you are worried about her, go back and watch it yourself." If you hurry, the pain she suffered for you will not be in vain. After speaking, he raised his hand to remove Xiao Zhen's Xuanniao mask.

Behind the mask was a pale face, already somewhat gray due to the effects of the toxin. Xiao Zhen looked at Han Chong: "I don't want to owe you a favor. ”

Han Chong put the mask on his face and said to himself, "Actually, I have always felt that I am more handsome than you with this mask." Taking advantage of Xiao Zhen's unpreparedness, he suddenly raised his hand to knock him unconscious, and said to Xuanwu without looking back: "Long-winded, take him away quickly." "At that moment, he used a little yin energy in his hands, Xiao Zhen will be fine, but after waking up, I am afraid that his neck will not be flexible for several days.
