Dou Yiming replied "yes" and chased in the direction where the horseshoe prints extended.

Ruan Si followed the mottled blood stains on the ground into the mountain.

There were already woods in front of me, and it was impossible to ride a horse.

She turned and dismounted, drove the horse aside, and continued deeper into the woods.

The blood on the ground was intermittent, presumably from someone who staggered into the mountain with a wound covered.

And that corner rag......

Ruan Si recognized that it was ripped off Yan Yingzhou's clothes.

Could he ...... Don't think about it, it's important to find someone first.

The ground was littered with rotting leaves and animal carcasses, and Ruan Sishen walked deeper into the woods.

Ahead, there was a sudden sound of grass and trees.

Ruan Si was startled, held the hidden weapon, and vigilantly dodged and hid in the bushes.

Then, a swaying figure walked out from behind the tree.

The man clutched his arms, took a few steps with difficulty, and fell to the ground with a thud.

"Husband?" Ruan Si recognized the robe with dark red patterns on a black background at a glance.

She hurried forward in three steps and two steps, and hurriedly held the man in her arms, when she suddenly heard the sound of feathered arrows breaking through the wind.

"Be careful!"

Ruan Si didn't have time to look at him, so he rolled on the spot with the person in his arms in his arms.

With a ding, an arrow grazed her back and nailed diagonally to the trunk of a nearby tree.

Immediately afterward, several arrows were sent at them.

In a hurry, Ruan Si's wrist flicked, and suddenly threw out a hidden weapon, and with a few clicks, the feather arrow missed the trajectory.

The man who was hiding behind the rock and shooting the arrow gritted his teeth in anger, and as soon as he touched that the quiver was empty, he threw down his longbow and raised his sword and rushed towards him with a roar.

Ruan Si hurriedly pushed away the person in his arms and rolled on the spot to hide behind a tree.

The man on the ground was in pain from his wounds, and he was about to get up from his wounds, when he saw a man dressed as a bandit raise a knife and slash at the top of his head.

"Ugh!" Before he could close his eyes, the blade stopped almost an inch above his head.

The thief's eyes widened, and streams of blood spurted out of his throat, and he fell backwards with a bang.

Ruan Si held the blood-dripping feather arrow, his heart palpitated, and muttered, "The hidden weapon is sometimes not as fast as a knife. ”

"Husband, let's go. This place should not be stayed for long. ”

She threw away the feather arrow she had just pulled out to kill, tore off the veil, and leaned over to pull the man lying on the ground.

The man let go of the knife wound, reached out to her, looked up and said, "Okay." ”

It's Yao Yu!

"How could it be you?" Ruan Si waved his hand away and stared at the pale and delicate face in disbelief.

Yao Yu struggled to get up from the ground and smiled bitterly: "Mrs. Yan, long time no see." ”

"Bang!"

Ruan Si pushed him onto the trunk of the tree, pressed his shoulder hard, forced him to look at him, and said sharply, "What about Yan Yingzhou?" ”

Yao Yu's arm was slashed by a knife, and the wound was deep to the bone, and when Ruan Si pushed it, blood gushed out.

But he didn't seem to realize it, and put his blood-stained index finger on her lips a little, and slowly pressed it down.

Ruan Si slapped his hand angrily, and just as he was about to have a seizure, Yao Yu's face turned white, and the corners of his lips unusually hooked up a smile.

"Shhhhhh

She was furious, lifted Yao Yu's collar, and whispered: "If you want to die, I will fulfill you." ”

Yao Yu stared at the blush on her lips and smiled with satisfaction: "If I die, your husband will have one less ally." ”

"What's more, he's still wearing my clothes right now. Do you want him to be treated as a deliberate murderer? ”

Previously, after Yao Yu was injured, there was no one to lead the officials in Chiliu County.

He offered to exchange robes with Yan Yingzhou, and let Yan Yingzhou lead them to continue hunting thieves instead of him.

And he pretended to be Yan Yingzhou to lure away the pursuers.

Ruan Si had a cold face and grabbed Yao Yu's neck fiercely, squeaking the cartilage in his throat.

"Recidivism," she squeezed a few words out of her teeth, "no forgiveness." ”

Yao Yu was about to roll his eyes when he was pinched by her, and suddenly his throat loosened, and he suddenly fell to the ground, panting heavily.

Ruan Si tore off a sleeve of his shirt and squatted down to tie his wound tightly so as not to leave blood stains on the ground.

Yao Yu smiled weirdly as she watched her finish all this.

She stood up, wiped the blood from her lips with the back of her hand, and said coldly, "If you don't want to die, go by yourself." ”

The two of them walked out of the woods one after the other.

Ruan thought that when she got out of the woods, she lent her horse to Yao Yu to ride, and turned back to find Yan Yingzhou and them.

A few days ago, Yan Yingzhou said that she didn't have to worry, but she couldn't rest assured when she thought of Yao Yu.

Now that it was because of Yao Yu, she recognized the wrong person and almost caused more trouble......

Just as he was thinking, there was a sudden chaotic sound of horses' hooves ahead.

She hurriedly pulled Yao Yu to hide in the woods, only to hear someone outside shouting: "There is a horse here!" ”

"Someone must have gone into the woods! Come a few people, dismount, and follow me in and arrest them. ”

"Big brother, could it be someone from the Yamen?"

Ruan Si was frightened in his heart, and only felt that the person who came was not a friend or foe, and Yao Yu also pursed his lips slightly.

"Whoever he was, the brethren followed, and when they saw the dogs, they beckoned them with knives to their necks."

There was a shout outside.

Ruan Si tugged at Yao Yu's sleeve, "Go this way." ”

At this time, the mountain road outside the woods is full of bandits.

This forest is halfway up the mountain, and if she goes up, she may fall into the trap and stray.

At the foot of the mountain is a river valley through which a river flows to Chiliu County, which is under the jurisdiction of Yao Yu.

Yao Yu also saw her thoughts, and silently followed her down the mountain.

After walking a few steps, she heard someone ask, "Do you want to bring this horse back to the stockade?" ”

"Isn't it dirty that dogs have ridden horses? Slaughter, don't let them sneak back back. ”

Ruan Si paused, only to hear the horses screaming again and again, and the bandits high-fived and laughed.

"If you don't leave," Yao Yu sneered, "you will bark worse than that horse if you fall into their hands." ”

"Out of this forest, I'll break your neck."

Ruan Si ignored the noise behind him and walked forward cautiously, for fear of stepping on the branches that had not yet rotted.

Yao Yu followed her step by step.

The two of them were cautious in every way, and when they reached the edge of the hillside, a large number of bandits had already poured into the woods not far away.

They carried more than a dozen torches, cut branches in the way with knives, and strode around the forest.

"There's blood over here!" Some thieves found the blood stains that Yao Yu had rubbed on the tree before.

The bandit at the head shouted, "There must be an official sent into the forest!" Search for me, don't let them get out alive! ”

The bandits answered yes in unison, and scattered in all directions.

One of them came to Ruan Si's side.

Yao Yu grabbed Ruan Si's shoulders, held her in his arms, and squatted behind the bushes violently.

Ruan Si was touched by him, and her heart swelled with disgust, but the searching bandit was near, and she didn't dare to make any sound.

"Who's where?" The bandit seemed to see a pair of figures, but he couldn't see it from a distance.

He drew his saber and shouted as he approached the bushes.

Ruan Si took out the sleeve arrow and held it in the palm of his hand, and a layer of fine cold sweat had already appeared on his back.

Yao Yu's eyes were sharp, and he pressed her hand, "Wait." ”

"There's a ...... here," the bandit heard the movement, and was about to shout when he was suddenly pierced by a sword.

In an instant, he stared down at the tip of the sword that pierced through his chest, and the torch and saber in his hand fell to the ground with a clatter.

As soon as the long sword was drawn, he was like a sandbag, and before he could struggle, he fell to the ground with a muffled voice.

After the bandit fell, the bandit behind exclaimed, "Over there! Come with me, brothers, there's someone over there! ”

Dozens of bandits quickly gathered and came to Ruan Si's side with a murderous aura.

The man who had killed the bandit just now was armed with a long sword, standing alone with his back to Ruan Si, standing in the shadow cast by the canopy.

Ruan Si looked at his figure and only felt inexplicably familiar.

Yao Yu suddenly hugged her tightly in his arms, and then pressed her head hard against his chest.

"You ......," her exclamation was muffled.

Yao Yu glanced at the person and said in a small voice, "Sisi, don't be afraid." ”

In the next moment, he rolled down the hill with Ruan Si in his arms.
