Chapter 445: Old Friends Meet (6)
The speed at which those people fell was extremely fast, almost in an instant, Qi Xiao saw the opportunity, and with a sweep of the long sword, it disrupted the formation of several people in the air, leaving only the person who was the leader flashed Qi Xiao's attack, he was shocked, he didn't expect Qi Xiao's martial arts to be so high, and he immediately thought of a countermeasure in his heart, and dispersed with a loud shout, and changed his tactics.
They are not in love with war, and one of them who fell behind saw the gap, and the wind and water of a long sword dance rose and flowed, and the people who could be sent out by Xiao Tian were naturally not reckless, and He Xi was not panicked, sitting in the carriage and listening to the sound of the handover of blades outside, and Rong's mother had already turned pale with fright, and Ah Li had already handed it over to Ruyi's hands.
Suddenly, a strong wind struck, tearing sound, the car curtain was cut by the long sword, it turned out that the person outside took advantage of the gap, rushed forward, the man raised his eyes and He Xi's eyes looked at each other, first stunned, this woman's long hair was scattered, but there was no panic on her face due to this change, and the perseverance and frost reflected in a pair of eyes even made him a little afraid.
The person who was fighting with Qi Xiao on the carriage had already seen that his own person had succeeded, and with a sly smile, suddenly the moves in his hand changed, and the originally fierce offensive instantly turned into a defensive posture, Qi Xiao condensed his breath and pushed forward, and the person actually followed Qi Xiao's strength and floated down from the roof of the carriage.
When it was too late, the man took out a signal flare from his arms, and just wanted to reach out to pull it, but he felt a cold light flash in front of him, and the signal flare was actually nailed to the tree behind him by an arrow shot out of nowhere, and the fierce sword qi left a bloody mark on his face.
It was Lu Ran and the others who arrived.
The man looked at the guards on the trees around him, his heart was already a dead ash, and he could still fight in the face of those few people, but at this time, he was afraid that he would be outnumbered, so he condensed his internal strength and said in a deep voice: "Retreat." β
Their purpose has been achieved, what they have to do now is to protect themselves, several of his men also retreated in his direction, they retreated back to back to a thick ancient tree, Lu Ran looked at the unsightly carriage curtains that had been trampled on the ground, and the empty windows, and frowned.
In the distance, the sound of horses' hooves was heard in their direction, from far and near.
Everyone had different faces, Lu Ran carefully identified, only heard that the number of people was not much, only one person, and there was a guess in his heart, and sure enough, there was a young man sitting on a horse at the entrance of the forest, it was Yuxue.
The faces of the besieged people were different, and the people who were led by Lu Ran, Qi Xiao and the others were all focused on the young man who came on horseback at this time, so they took out a signal flare from the arms of their companions, lifted it and pulled it down, and did it in one go.
After doing this, he breathed a sigh of relief, no matter what their result was today, at least they lived up to their mission, what was the identity of the woman in the carriage?
Suddenly, he heard a whisper in his ear, and looked in the direction of the sound, and saw that his companion was now looking in the direction of the entrance with wide eyes, and there was indescribable horror and despair in his eyes, and there was even death on his face.
The faces of the others were the same, he felt his neck stiff, he didn't know how he turned around, only to see that the young man had already walked near, and then a round thing was thrown by him, showing a perfect arc in the air, and landed at their feet, the thing rolled a few times, and he could see clearly, see the frightened face, and the blood stains dripping all the way.
It was a human head, the head of a companion who had left it behind and had gone back to ventilate the news.
He suddenly understood why Fang Cai's own companions looked like that, just when he was still complacent about sending a signal for himself, they had already foreseen the end, which is why Qi Xiao and Lu Ran and the others clearly knew that they might have to send a signal to deliver the message, but they didn't stop him, making him think that he had found the opportunity, because the back road had been broken.
Suddenly, his feet were a little vague, and he felt that even his hand holding the sword trembled a little.
The direction of the carriage moved, and a woman in goose-yellow clothes and black hair got out of the carriage and was supported by someone.
Her posture was light, although her steps were brisk, but she could also see that she was not a person who practiced martial arts, Lu Ran stepped forward and arched her hand: "It's too late, please forgive me." β
He Xi just stared at a few people in the distance who were like trapped beasts, their lives were her to stay, because she had something to ask them, and suddenly her eyes fell on the head of the person on the ground, first stunned, and then chose to ignore it.
It's just that this small action was seen by a few people on the opposite side, and they were already frightened.
This woman is definitely not simple, but Yuxue is a little annoyed in her heart, if he can bring back something else, to prove the identity of this person, or nothing, after all, as long as they know that the messenger is dead, but when he saw that person, Yuxue's heart has been swallowed by anger, as soon as he remembered that these people were so mad that they did something to He Xi and a small child, he cut off the person's head and brought it back.
Now that this filthy thing was actually seen by He Xi again, he took a step forward with a cough, blocked in front of He Xi, hung his head and said: "It's chaotic here, why doesn't Miss wait in the car, what's there, let's just ask." β
The position where he was standing just blocked the man's head, He Xi knew Yuxue's thoughts, and he also stopped, and said slowly: "It's okay, you bring people over, I have something to ask." β
Yuxue had some joy on her face, and she answered and watched He Xi walk away.
Those few people barely resisted, so they were handed over by Lu Ran and others, and they were pressed in front of He Xi.
At that time, Rong's mother and Ruyi had already gotten off the carriage, because the wheels and curtains needed to be repaired, and the temperature here was suitable, so they just hugged Xiao A and left to relax.
Seeing a few people being escorted over, Rong's mother turned sideways slightly in fear and tightened Xiao Ah Li into her arms.
The leader saw the baby at a glance, although only at a glance, but he always felt that the child's face had an inexplicable familiarity, and when he wanted to look at it again, he was noticed by Yuxue, although he was friendly in front of He Xi, but in front of these people, he was like a demon who killed people without blinking.
Yuxue said faintly: "If you can't control your own eyes, I don't mind gouging them for you, after all, Miss just wants to ask." β
The man had no suspicion that the young man in front of him was intimidating them, and they all turned their heads stupidly, looking only at the tips of their shoes.
He Xi was waiting for them on a rock, her body was not completely healed, and after the bumps of Fangcai, her face was a little pale, Liang Qi took the cloak and tied it to her, seeing a few people coming, He Xi slowly got up and walked in front of a few people, and said in a deep voice: "You are Xiao Tian's people?" β
When the man saw that He Xi didn't mention tortoiseshell, and Xiao Nai didn't mention Xiao Tian, it can be seen that he really knows these people.
Seeing that the man was stiff and didn't speak, He Xi also knew that as dead soldiers, they naturally wouldn't confess easily, but they all said that eyes would not deceive, she stared at those people tightly and asked the second sentence: "They know that I'm not dead?" β
This sentence is unknown, who are they? Hawksbill? Xiao Nai? Xiao Tian? Or Tuoba Yue?
Sure enough, as soon as these words came out, the man said with a puzzled face: "Who are you?" β
He Xi's heart was relieved, it seems that these people don't know their identity, if Tuoba Yue knows that he is not dead, and thinks that according to the ability of his subordinate Yuewei, he will soon be able to find out that he is in Xiliang The most likely, correspondingly, the order these people get will not be a temptation, but a kill on the spot.
The current situation is that the tortoiseshell is suspicious and unprepared, so she can only send someone to test her identity, and then she will report to Xiao Nai.
He may not know that this conclusion made He Xi feel a little relieved.
She straightened up and said indifferently: "Deal with it, I'm done asking what I should have asked?" β
Those people looked frightened, they clearly didn't say anything, what did this woman know, the man looked at He Xi's cold face, and a little cinnabar between his eyebrows, and suddenly said: "You areβyou areβ"
He seemed to have finally remembered something, the same alluring appearance as that person, and the cinnabar between his eyebrows, he had died but not died, so that the people behind them were jealous, and suddenly he remembered the child who glanced at him, yes, he finally understood that the first time he saw the child, what was it that made him so familiar, the child's eyebrows and eyes were almost exactly the same as that person, and he suddenly felt that he had glimpsed some big secret, but this secret he could only bring to Jiuquan.
Lu Ran took the person to the woods on the side and executed him.
And Rong's mother and Ruyi also came back, Rong's mother's face was also better, and when she saw that the scene had been cleared, she breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, and said with a smile: "Miss Ah Li is really well-behaved, the old slave thinks it will be scared, Miss, look-"
As he spoke, he lifted the quilt and showed it to He Xi, only to see Xiao Ah Li grabbing the corner of the quilt indiscriminately, giggling, He Xi reached out and took off the amulet that Jiang Li'er gave him before, and stretched out his hand to tie it around Xiao Ah Li's tender neck.
Xiao Ah Li groped and grabbed the talisman and smiled more happily, He Xi's heart was sour, in fact, she was not afraid, because she couldn't see, so even if the outside world was going on, she didn't know the danger.
He Xi pasted his face to Ah Li's little face, and said softly: "Ah Li, don't worry, Ah Niang will cure your eyes and let you take a good look at the world." β
Mother Rong's heart was sour, she was busy with her eyes, Ruyi was full of distress, she saw Liang Qi behind her, and said, "Uncle Liang, did you come back but found a way to enter the Miao Domain?" β20
