Chapter 127: Joy in Suffering

As soon as it was smashed, Xia Ji pulled Jiang Xiaobai and ran forward, quickly running into the woods behind him, leaving a cry of surprise and wolf howl.

Uncle Bao's running pace stopped abruptly, and looking at the figures swaying in the darkness behind him, it was obvious that the voices of the group were assassins.

Could it be Xia Ji?

Uncle Bao knew that Jiang Xiaobai didn't have much sophistication, and this way to restrain the enemy was Xia Ji except Jiang Xiaobai.

Uncle Bao didn't think much about it, since the assassins were bleak, presumably Jiang Xiaobai and Xia Ji had already run to the woods behind them.

He hurried around the group of Assassins and made his way to the woods.

The sound of throbbing panting mixed with the sound of breathing mingled in the quiet woods, and the afterglow of the setting sun had completely disappeared, and the whole forest seemed very quiet.

Gradually, the shouting also slowly fell silent, as if the scream just now had not happened, and the entire space was empty.

Xia Ji took Jiang Xiaobai's hand and slowly stepped on the soft branch, making a slight clicking sound, and the whole person was silent.

Jiang Xiaobai could feel the temperature in his hands, exuding a sense of security.

Uncle Bao rushed to the woods before the assassins' voices disappeared, he didn't dare to make a sound or shout, and the more empty the whole space became, the more people dared not speak.

Uncle Bao saw the two figures in front of him, he still didn't speak, just moved forward slowly, called tentatively, and then saw Xia Ji show his face.

He hurriedly stepped forward and saw that Jiang Xiaobai was fine, but there were some blood stains on his chin from the branches, he dragged Jiang Xiaobai and shook his hand fiercely, feeling the temperature of his palm, and finally relieved himself.

But at this moment, Jiang Xiaobai looked back at Xia Ji, and his hand wanted to break free from Uncle Bao's hands, but Uncle Bao in excitement didn't notice Jiang Xiaobai's movements at all, and still held on.

Xia Ji waved his hand forward, looked at the two of them, and walked away without saying a word.

Uncle Bao and Jiang Xiaobai glanced at each other, and Uncle Bao nodded to Jiang Xiaobai, representing his affirmation of Xia Ji, and then pulled Jiang Xiaobai to follow Xia Ji.

At this time, although Jiang Xiaobai saw Uncle Bao's affirmation of Xia Ji, he was a little excited in his heart, but he still felt a little regretful.

He looked at the back of Fang Xia Ji walking in front of him, shook his head, shook off the feeling of loss in his heart, no longer thought about the lost temperature in his hand, and put all his body and mind on the road in front of him.

He tugged at his hand slightly, Uncle Bao was stunned, let go of Jiang Xiaobai's hand, and then saw him slowly follow Xia Ji without saying a word.

Uncle Bao didn't understand what his son-in-law meant, but he didn't think much about it.

He then smiled, and it was also the two big men pulling and pulling for something.

But at the moment, I only have a little bit of free time, and it can be regarded as a busy leisure.

Xia Ji walked in the forefront, her brows furrowed, she listened carefully to the sound behind her, there was no other sound except for the slight shredding sound on her side, her eyes sank.

It couldn't be so quiet, they needed to be faster.

What's more, she knew the weight of that tree, and it was impossible to overwhelm and seriously injure all the dozen assassins, which was only a small probability event.

It's likely that they've gone into the woods and want to be caught alive.

At present, Xia Ji can only take Jiang Xiaobai and Uncle Bao to climb the highest slope faster, and sleep in the tree to be completely stable tonight.

The three of them walked forward quickly, and soon came to the high slope that Xia Ji had observed early in the morning, and there was still no movement behind them.

Xia Ji didn't care about anything else, just asked Jiang Xiaobai to choose a tree, walked to the tree where it was easiest to observe the terrain, and climbed a few steps to the treetops.

Uncle Bao looked at it and immediately understood what Xia Ji wanted to do.

He urged Jiang Xiaobai to climb the tree quickly, and then he hugged the trunk and moved it up one by one, Jiang Xiaobai looked at Uncle Bao's movements and remained motionless.

Xia Ji ignored the two men, she looked forward at the movement of the group of assassins, and couldn't figure out why they hadn't chased after them yet.

But......

Why is this guy so sluggish right now?

She lowered her head and looked at the two people below, only to see Jiang Xiaobai hesitating under the tree for a long time, but there was no movement for half a day, and then seeing that Uncle Bao had climbed several steps, he also lowered his head and urged Jiang Xiaobai.

After a while, Uncle Bao's teeth finally fell, and sure enough, he still knew his son-in-law best, and eighty percent felt that the action of climbing a tree was indecent, and he was afraid of losing face.

But it's all at this time, and it's only right to escape as soon as possible and return to the country of Qi.

After he landed under the tree, he looked at Gongzi Xiaobai, and didn't say much, just a simple gesture.

Jiang Xiaobai paused and looked up at the summer machine on the tree.

Xia Ji beckoned him to hurry up the tree, Jiang Xiaobai gritted his teeth, the night was getting darker and darker, he suddenly leaned up and hugged the tree trunk, buried his head to hide his face, and didn't look at Xia Ji above.

Trying to hide his current embarrassed posture in the past, Jiang Xiaobai rubbed against the tree for a long time and couldn't climb up, Uncle Bao in the back sighed, he walked over and squatted down to get close to Jiang Xiaobai, and then squatted down and dragged Jiang Xiaobai to climb up the tree.

Jiang Xiaobai felt the thrust behind him, and hurriedly kicked his two legs on the tree, climbing up hard, Uncle Bao gritted his teeth and pushed up.

In the end, Jiang Xiaobai breathed a sigh of relief, and finally climbed up, with the lush branches and leaves on his head, with a slight coolness, and through the leaves, he seemed to be able to see the gloomy clouds above and the sparse leaves.

Uncle Bao also breathed a sigh of relief, and finally dragged Gongzi up, and he returned to the bottom of another tree and continued to climb up in his original position.

The three of them were hugging the tree, and Xia Ji looked ahead, trying to see what the situation of the person on the other side was.

Don't you really plan to stop fighting?

Xia Ji turned his head and glanced at Jiang Xiaobai again, it didn't look like it, according to Jiang Xiaobai's identity, the nobles who could hunt him down were generally nobles in the palace, and Bacheng would not give up easily, unless......

Rat.

The three of them endured like this for two hours, and they were all a little tired.

Xia Ji turned around and made a gesture to ask Jiang Xiaobai and Uncle Bao to sleep first, and then he took turns on duty for a while, Uncle Bao nodded, Jiang Xiaobai looked at her with some concern, but he still couldn't resist the sleepiness, slowly closed his eyes, and fell asleep on the branch.

Xia Ji shook his head, half-leaning on the trunk of the tree to save some energy, and maintained a sober posture of observing the front......

A quarter of an hour, two quarters of an hour......

An Hour......

As the minutes ticked by, the night was dark, and only a few creaks could be heard occasionally, the sound of the leaves stirring, and the buzzing of people's ears, mouths, and noses.

Xia Ji breathed quietly, as if she could hear the turbulent sound of her own blood flowing, she gradually leaned against the treetops, turned her head to see the condition of Jiang Xiaobai and Uncle Bao.

It's the dead of night, but it's this twist!

The startled Xia Ji almost screamed, she obviously saw a few figures jumping down the opposite hill and quickly moving towards them, but she wiped her eyes and took a closer look, and there seemed to be no movement at all in the dark of the night.

It was as if Fang Cai's movement did not appear at all, just an illusion of Xia Ji for a while.

But Xia Ji is convinced that his eyes, even if they are black and oppressive.

didn't have time to think about it, Xia Ji looked at the other side, she reached out and brushed off a handful of leaves, and then swept a leaf towards Jiang Xiaobai's leg.

Jiang Xiaobai in his sleep was suddenly in pain, he woke up in a daze, forgetting that there was a rough tree trunk under him, and almost rolled down, and finally coincidentally hugged the tree trunk and wiped his eyes, only then did he remember the current situation.

He looked at Xia Ji and didn't know what was going on.

Xia Ji beckoned to him and told him to hurry down.

Jiang Xiaobai understood that something important had obviously happened, he hurriedly jumped down the trunk, his palms were hot and painful, and he couldn't help but look up at Xia Ji.

Xia Ji hit Uncle Bao with leaves as usual, Uncle Bao quickly woke up, hugged the trunk tightly with his palms, saw Jiang Xiaobai below, and hurriedly got down the tree and stood next to Jiang Xiaobai.

"What's wrong?" Uncle Bao approached Jiang Xiaobai and asked quietly.

Jiang Xiaobai shook his head, still looking at Xia Ji who flew down.

Xia Ji looked at the two and said quickly: "Let's go, they're coming from behind!" ”

I didn't see them for most of the day, I thought they wanted to itch the injury or were afraid of traps, but I didn't expect to dare to run behind them in such a big circle, and I had no choice but to make a detour and continue up the mountain.

Only by drilling into the depths of the forest can you completely avoid it.

However, Xia Ji and the three of them ran a few steps away, and there were footsteps behind them shouting: "Where to run!" The ghosts and gods are here to beg for their lives, and they don't leave quickly! ”

Xia Ji snorted, I didn't expect them to be so fast, but whether this life is given or not, it's not them or the ghosts and gods who have the final say!

She appeared on the spot, looked at the direction of the few people who appeared behind her, and quickly flashed a bunch of leaves, and the leaves became extremely sharp through Xia Ji's hand.

Then Xia Ji shouted: "Run!" ”

The order was forbidden, Jiang Xiaobai was drunk like this, Xia Ji pushed like this, he quickly ran in the direction pointed by Xia Ji, Uncle Bao saw Xia Ji's good means, he was stunned, and hurriedly stumbled behind Jiang Xiaobai.

There is no way, the scene of this kind of fight is not his Bao Shuya's strong point, so he can only hurry up with Gongzi, and there will be an accident in the province.

After all, keeping the son is the right thing, although it is a little selfish, Uncle Bao has always only recognized his principles and loyalty.

After Xia Ji threw out the leaves casually, he saw that the few people in front of him fell down one after another, complaining bitterly.

When the people who came later saw such a scene, they all drew their knives and rushed towards Xia Ji, Xia Ji did not avoid but bullied her, her left leg swept the first person in front of her, and she didn't look at the corner of her mouth with a contemptuous smile.

Darkness mixed with the sound of swords, all struck towards the night sky.

The hearts of those who stir are panicked and cannot sleep at night.

Xia Ji saw that the people who got up did not rush forward again, but rushed backwards in the direction of Jiang Xiaobai's side,

She sighed, protecting Jiang Xiaobai was just something she did easily, but ......

She remembered Jiang Xiaobai's eyes looking at her trusting, dragging all her trust to a completely strange person, Xia Ji couldn't imagine what kind of behavior could make a son born in the palace of Eryu easily hand over his trust?

At least she can't live up to it!

Just like when she protected the soldiers to fight their way out of the siege and finally won the war.

Xia Ji then turned the people who were kicking the people who surrounded her on their backs, and in the end, she didn't show mercy anymore, and directly took the sword and killed several people, and then quickly rushed in the direction of Jiang Xiaobai's side.

She sprinted a few steps, and before she could get close, she heard a shout in the distance: "Don't hide, come out quickly." ”

There was no movement for a long time, and the man continued to shout without believing in evil: "Childe, don't hide, your companion has already been buried under our sword, don't you come and take a look?" ”

As soon as the words fell, a terrible shout followed, "Childe, ah! Save me! ”

Jiang Xiaobai hid in the shadows and was stunned, his face was flushed, and his head was groggy and about to rush out, but who expected that Uncle Bao next to him had already put his hand on his shoulder and shook his head at him.

Jiang Xiaobai calmed down, and then there was another shout in front of him: "Childe, help!" Childe, where are you? ”

Jiang Xiaobai was stunned, his fingers clenched into fists, and he suddenly remembered that Xia Ji usually called him never a son, but a simple Xiaobai.

The corners of his mouth hooked slightly, and his mood was no longer as gloomy as before.

Uncle Bao glanced at Jiang Xiaobai inexplicably, I don't know why his mood suddenly improved, but he still pressed Jiang Xiaobai's shoulder steadily, afraid that he would rush out and be killed as soon as he was stimulated.

Xia Ji heard clearly, this group of people obviously couldn't find Jiang Xiaobai who had already hidden, it seemed that Uncle Bao took him to hide quickly.

However, Xia Ji did not rush out immediately, but watched the search of the group of people in front of him, and walked behind the group of people on a detour.

It should be a matter of course to attack them in their way.

Xia Ji thought to himself, he was not worried about Jiang Xiaobai at this time, since it was not yet time to attack face-to-face, Uncle Bao would be able to protect Jiang Xiaobai.

The group of assassins still shouted, waving their swords and stabbing at the bushes, as if they wanted to find Jiang Xiaobai inside and stab them again.

She crept back, the soft dirt under her feet coming from the soles of her feet, the cool breeze around her, and the rustling of leaves......

She slowly came behind them, quickly standing like a ghost on the slope behind her, holding a dozen leaves in her hands, watching the screaming assassins in front of her.

"Don't you care about the swordsmen around you?" The assassins seemed to have decided that Xia Ji belonged to Jiang Xiaobai and was also his swordsman.

The identity of a swordsman is respected, not to mention that the martial arts shown by Xia Ji are generally done by high-class swordsmen, and it is impossible not to be cherished by the nobles.

The scene before the Assassins' eyes was empty, with no movement in front of them except for the sound of their own breathing.

It's as if what I was chasing before was just an illusory shadow.

The Assassins did not believe in evil and continued to shout: "I will knock on the trunk three times, and if he does not come out, I will kill him!" ”

The wind blew without a trace.

Baste!

With a bang, everyone's breathing quickly fell silent.

Baste!

Again, everyone's breathing was slightly disturbed.

Baste!

One last sound, bang!

With the sound of falling to the ground, the man in front turned his head in surprise, and saw that it was his partner behind him who was kneeling on the ground, hanging his head slightly, covering his knees, and he couldn't see the expression on his face clearly.

"What's wrong with you?" The lead assassin asked.

The kneeling man shook his head and said, "Yes...... There is a ...... in the back"

"What's there?" The lead assassin looked up, and there was nothing to see in the dark.

However, this was only a matter of moments, and the lead assassin did not forget the three covenants he had just said behind him.

He tried to raise the sword in his hand and slash it down, but he didn't shake it a few times.
