Chapter 28: Rescued by the Mirror Lake Palace
It was getting dark, and there was still some distance from Yancheng.
Xu Xi didn't arrive before dark, only continued to gallop under the moonlight, and the horse's running was accompanied by the chirping of insects, which calmed her heart.
At this time, Xu Xi missed the 21st century very much, even if there was no car, at least there were street lights, and he would not get lost.
Now it's so dark that I can't see anything clearly, so I can only rely on nature.
Fortunately, she is not a daughter, otherwise, she would definitely be scared and tremble.
Xu Xi thought of it in his heart.
It happened that there was a fork in the road in front of him, and Xu Xi had forgotten that he had walked from that road during the day.
Now that it's dark and he can't see clearly, Xu Xi is no more sure.
I knew that I would have rested in the capital for one night and walked.
It's good now, I can't find my way to Yancheng.
Xu Xi's heart was full of 10,000 words of grass and mud galloping by, just like her current mood. I don't know how this ancient man could stand it.
The surroundings are pitch black, giving people a creepy feeling. The woods were thick again, and the moonlight could only shine in a little, but it wasn't enough to see the road ahead.
The vision is still blurry, and I can only look at it with a big sigh.
Xu Xi didn't bother to bother with it, and galloped towards the fork on the left.
I thought to myself, she didn't see it clearly anyway, so she just chose a random path and counted wherever she went.
Anyway, it's all one person, and the four seas are home.
She's not afraid she'll get lost.
Two hours passed.
The night is getting deeper and deeper, the moonlight has disappeared, and there are no fingers around, and Xu Xi is still galloping.
Xu Xi felt in her heart that she was getting farther and farther away from Yancheng, if she followed the daytime journey. It stands to reason that she should have arrived a long time ago, but now she is still in the woods.
Xu Xi understood that she chose the wrong path and avoided the correct answer.
"Forget it, I'll rest here for the night, and I'll be rushing back tomorrow."
Xu Xi said to himself, and also accepted his fate. There's no need to rush back now, the gates are already closed.
It's better to have a good night's rest and walk.
After deciding in his heart, he went to the woods to find some firewood to make a fire.
In this way, if there are wild beasts around, they will not dare to approach easily.
Xu Xi used the most primitive bricks and wood to make a fire, and after lighting the fire, he slept against the tree with peace of mind.
On this day's long journey, she was really tired.
Just when Xu Xi was sleeping Zhengxiang, the sound of squirming woke her up.
However, she didn't immediately open her eyes to investigate, she wanted to see who it was.
The people who quietly approached Xu Xi also thought that she was asleep and approached Xu Xi without the slightest vigilance.
Who knows, Xu Xi has already seen through the other party's thoughts. Her mercenary in the 21st century is not for nothing, she has no awareness at all, how long can she live?
"Boss, she's dead in sleep now, shall we take her back directly?"
A man's voice sounded beside Xu Xi, and he stood beside her.
"Hmm."
Xu Xi was a little puzzled, how long had she been in this dynasty, and she had offended so many people?
The voice of the man she called "The Boss" was unfamiliar, and she was sure she had never seen this man before.
Besides, before she was reborn, the owner of this body was just a maid!
In the house, he is not only a nobody, but also often bullied.
After the subordinate got the consent, he was about to tie Xu Xi with hemp rope, and Xu Xi seized the opportunity to pull his backhand and grabbed the man's neck with hemp rope.
He glanced defiantly at the man known as "The Boss".
Xu Xi tightly strangled the man's neck and looked at the "boss" and said, "Who are you?" We are not masked, so why did we attack me? ”
The man did not speak.
At this time, a person came from the darkness, "Long time no see, Xu Xi!" ”
The voice of the person who spoke was as immature as that of a little girl, but at this time, the appearance of this environment was unbelievable.
"Who are you? How will I know my name? Xu Xi only felt that the voice was somewhat familiar, but he just couldn't remember where he had seen it.
Furthermore, the man was covered from head to toe with a black cloak and a hat.
She could recognize a ghost!
"You don't have a good memory! People know that geniuses met you, and you forgot about me for a long time. ”
And the one who spoke took off his hat from his head. He also took the torch from his subordinates, walked to a position one step away from Xu Xi, and looked at Xu Xi with a smile.
"Oh, scorpions! Didn't you run away during the day, and what do you mean now? ”
Xu Xi curled the corners of his mouth and looked at the scorpion with a sneer, with a provocation in his eyes, and pulled the hemp rope in his hand tighter.
"Aren't you Gu Chaoci's friend, of course I asked you to help me invite Gu Qianjin. You know what I'm looking for Gu Chaoci for, so I won't say more. ”
The scorpion looked at Xu Xi with a smile on his face in the previous sentence, beautiful and cute, and the tone of the latter sentence became ruthless, with a ruthless tone.
"Humph! Why don't you go to the capital to find Gu Chaoci, what are you doing to arrest me! ”
Xu Xi glanced at the scorpion with disdain on his face, looking down on his methods.
"Don't talk nonsense, you can do whatever you want with the people in your hands, but I have caught you today. Besides, it's not as easy to go to the capital to arrest Gu Chaoci as it is to arrest you. ”
The scorpion retracted the smile on his face and suddenly looked at Xu Xi with a serious look.
Xu Xi kicked away the man under his control, looked at the scorpion in a daze, and said, "I have to say, you are really a ruthless person." Of course, there is no reason to be good in killing. However, your angelic face has really deceived many people. Presumably, those who died under your hands were deceived by your face! ”
"You don't have to worry about it, now it's better to worry about yourself!" The scorpion looked at Xu Xi with a wild smile, this is the real her.
Even if those who were deceived by her appearance, those people deserved to die!
It's not a pity at all.
"I know you have helpers, I won't fight you, if you want to catch it, just catch it!" Xu Xi knew that the man just now, with her current strength, was not enough to be able to fight him.
After knowing about the scorpion after passing through the tea house before, she inquired about Nie Chenghui and knew that the man in front of her was the second-ranked killer on the killer list - One-Eyed.
One-Eyed and Scorpion are the best on the killer list and often take care of each other. If she did it now, she would definitely not be a match for these two people.
Anyway, you can't win, it's better not to fight, it's a waste of time.
"For the sake of your acquaintance, I won't tie you up, I know you're a smart person."
Scorpion's immature face smiled with satisfaction, and it really didn't seem that she was a killer, at most she was a sister next door.
"Humph!" Xu Xi snorted coldly and turned his head, full of disdain for the scorpion.
Although she is also a killer in the 21st century, I have to say that she really doesn't look down on the methods of scorpions.
She has always had her own principles, and she will not harm her parents and friends, and she will only use those she should kill.
"Don't look at me with such eyes, we do whatever we do to achieve the end by any means, and I'm not trying to kill less."
Don't look at the scorpion's young age, she has been mixed in the rivers and lakes for so many years, she has never seen what kind of person she has, Xu Xi has a clear idea of what she thinks in her heart.
Xu Xi didn't want to talk to her, so he crossed him and followed the person in front of him.
Three hours later.
Seeing that the day was almost dawn and the group was a little tired, the scorpion ordered his subordinates: "Stop, just rest here for a while and be in a hurry!" ”
"Yes, I'm arranged!"
Afterwards, the scorpion and the one-eyed two guarded Xu Xi, and the others went to rest.
Although she can arrange for her subordinates to watch Xu Xi with the scorpion, she has seen Xu Xi's skills, and she is not at ease, so it is better for her to guard it herself.
Besides, it's safer to have a big brother here.
The bamboo forest is quiet, and even the "rustling" sound of the wind can be heard clearly.
In the distance, there was a sound of rustling footsteps, getting closer and closer.
The scorpion immediately woke everyone up and looked around vigilantly.
Even Xu Xi was tied up, because the scorpion was afraid that Xu Xi would take advantage of the chaos to escape for a while.
In this way, he will not be busy this night.
A group of people dressed in dark blue practice uniforms passed in front of Xu Xi.
Xu Xi said "uh-huh" twice, hoping that this group of people could save her.
"Stop!" It was Pei Huai's little disciple Tang Qianling who spoke.
"Qianling, what's wrong?" The person beside Qianling asked suspiciously.
"Zhou ...... There are people around, and it's close. Tang Qianling said intermittently, looking at the person who asked him with a serious face.
"What people, come out!" He believed that Tang Qianling said that there must be someone if there was someone, although he was mentally incomplete, he was indeed very talented in martial arts.
"It's not good, it's someone from Mirror Lake Palace, everyone be careful." The scorpion whispered a little anxiously, why is she so lucky, she just met Pei Huai during the day, and now she meets someone from Jinghu Palace.
The scorpion's subordinates all nodded knowingly, looking around cautiously and vigilantly.
Tang Qianling closed his eyes and listened carefully, and it happened that the voice of the scorpion just now was heard by him.
So he picked up a piece of gravel and threw it.
Unfortunately, it happened to hit Xu Xi's head.
Xu Xi's "whining" voice came from the bamboo forest.
"There's someone over there!" Tang Qianling pointed to the direction he had just thrown the stone and told the people around him.
And, quickly rush in the direction he just threw the stone!
The people who accompanied Tang Qianling also quickly followed, afraid that he would not be able to cope with it alone.
"Do it!" When the scorpion was discovered, it was not at the point of retreating, and it was the best way to do it directly.
Suddenly, the two sides exchanged hands.
The scorpion and the one-eyed only attacked Tang Qianling, because they knew that although Tang Qianling was mentally incomplete, his martial arts were definitely not bad.
However, Xu Xi doesn't think so, she thinks that the two scorpions are bullying a child.
secretly used a sharp stone to wear out the stone, and helped Tang Qianling deal with the two scorpions together.
A few rounds later.
"Xu Xi, you ......" The scorpion couldn't believe it, she obviously tied Xu Xi up, how could this be.
"How did I untie it! Do you think you'll trap me by tying me up, you're so whimsical. ”
Xu Xi saw the scorpion's surprised look and said disdainfully.
"Retreat, there are too many people on the other side, I'm afraid the odds are very small. Where there is life, there is hope. One-eyed persuaded, anyway, the task is not in a hurry to be completed at one moment, there is an opportunity.
"Okay, all retreat." The scorpion bit its lip and commanded fiercely.
"I'll be looking for you, Xu Xi."
After speaking, he disappeared from the eyes of everyone with his subordinates.
