Chapter 002: A Rescue Arrow
In the middle of the night, another muffled thunder exploded in the air, and the already reduced rain suddenly poured down.
On the official road in the north of Luozhou City, a carriage is running like crazy!
Dacheng was sweating profusely, and he used all his strength to drop the whip, and the horse's back was covered with blood, but even so, he still couldn't shake off the murderous aura that followed behind the carriage.
"Hurry up! They're catching up! ”
As soon as the curtain was lifted, a delicate face poked out, the rain was too heavy, and the green bamboo almost roared out.
Dacheng gritted his teeth and said, "It's almost over!" It's to the limit! ”
As he spoke, he looked at the four guards in front of the carriage, "What to do!" Can't leave! ”
The four guards were all dressed in brown and were very capable, and when they saw that the situation was critical, they all pulled out their long swords at their waists.
"Don't be afraid, with us, we will protect Miss to the death."
"Miss, it's no good—"
The guard's voice fell, and a cry of grief came from inside the carriage!
Mama Qian lifted the curtain and cried, "If you run like this, Miss Luozhou will be turned to death, Miss Luozhou's body is already weak, how can I ......get it?"
"Mama! Behind are bandits who kill people without blinking, and if you don't run, you will die! ”
Lu Zhu's voice was very loud, and as soon as he finished speaking, several sharp arrows were nailed to the wall of the carriage, and Mama Qian was so frightened that she covered her heart and leaned against the wall of the carriage tremblingly, "Catch up, catch up——"
"You keep running, all the way to Luozhou, let's stop them!"
The leader of the four guards reined in his horse first, turned his horse's head and went up to meet the bandits behind, and the other three followed closely behind, not afraid of the rain of arrows like locusts.
Luzhu watched sadly at the backs of the four people drifting away, and turned around to look at the dying girl in the carriage.
The carriage was cramped, the couch was removed, and a brocade quilt was laid on the board.
At this time, a young girl with delicate eyebrows was lying on her back.
The bridge of the girl's nose is upturned, and the willow eyebrows are like daisies, but because of the pain, her brows are frowned when she falls asleep, and her palm-wide little face is covered with a layer of thin sweat due to high fever, and the whole person is full of a dead air that will not be around for a long time.
"Okay, why do you want to pick us up in Luozhou, otherwise there won't be any trouble!"
Mama Qian cried, and Lu Zhu frowned and looked at her, "What's wrong with Lord Thorn Shi looking at his granddaughter?" No one knew that there would be a mess halfway, not to mention that it wouldn't be easy to leave the young lady-"
Thinking of something bad, Luzhu frowned, "Now is not the time to talk about this, we have to send Miss Luozhou safely, those four eldest brothers are only afraid of-"
The words "fierce and auspicious" Lu Zhu didn't say it, but the sound of swords hitting each other from behind the carriage made people tremble.
Green bamboo held the lying girl, while clasping the car door to make sure that she was not thrown out, she was also trembling with fear, but looking at her young lady's face, she did not allow herself to be afraid of weakness.
The rain was pouring down, the long wind was howling, and soon, two screams suddenly sounded.
Luzhu was happy in his heart, the scream was not from the four guards, and the people behind were stopped!
But before the joy could be raised, Lu Zhu was horrified to find that on the official road in front of the carriage, four fast horses came out of the dense forest on the side like ghosts, and then, several cold rays flashed.
"Dacheng—"
The green bamboo roared, but before the roar settled, he saw the sharp arrow tip coming out of Dacheng's back, Dacheng snorted, and his body fell straight into the carriage.
Green Bamboo hurried to grab the reins, but before he could catch it, a series of arrows rained down on the horse's head, and with a neigh, the horse flicked its tail like a frenzy, the bridle was broken, and the carriage fell out with great momentum.
The three people in the carriage were thrown out, and the pain of the impact and the cold of the rain made the girl wake up with a shudder.
In a daze, the sound of swords clashing, the screams of men, and the cries of women's grief suddenly pulled the girl back to the nightmare five years ago, wasn't she dead? How can you dream?!
The girl opened her eyes with great difficulty, and then realized that this was not a dream at all!
"Miss, Miss, run—"
As far as the eye can see, there is an embarrassed and urgent face, the girl in front of her is seventeen or eighteen years old, seeing that she has signs of waking up, eagerly hugging her and wanting her to get up, she can't tell whether it is rain or tears on her face, but there is a kind of despair.
"Miss, get up—"
Green bamboo cried loudly, there was really no way!
The girl was drenched and dizzy, and she didn't have time to react to what was happening at this moment, but soon, a man in black appeared behind Lu Zhu, and then, the man in black laughed-
"Found it, here—"
The man in black roared loudly, and Lu Zhu was so frightened that he immediately turned around and blocked the girl.
The carriage fell on the side of the official road, they were thrown to the side of the grass, Luzhu stretched out his hand to block it, and suddenly knelt on the ground and kowtowed to the person in front of him, "You fell into the grass just for money, you take all the money and things in the car, please don't kill her, she is about to die, you can kill me, please don't kill her......"
Green Bamboo trembled and begged for mercy, the girl was behind her, her weak hands couldn't be lifted, what she saw was the overlapping shadow of Green Bamboo's thin back, she vaguely heard Lu Zhu's words, and there was a trace of sadness for no reason.
What a faithful man, just like those who died in front of her five years ago.
"It's rare to be loyal to you."
"Since you said that she would die no matter what, why don't I finish her off as soon as possible......"
The man in black was not moved by Lu Zhu's words, but raised the sword in his hand, the cold light of the blade made the girl's eyes shrink, and his hand subconsciously wanted to grab something, but his hand was weak to move, and he only touched the muddy water with one hand.
The bean-sized raindrops hit her face with pain, and the girl thought with some grief and indignation, that person said that he would come back from the dead, but she had just come back to life, could she be going to die again?
"Please, let her go, she's just a fool, she's more pitiful than any of you."
Green bamboo cried, leaned back, blocking in front of the girl, the suppressed cry cut the girl's heart like a blunt knife, she made enough strength to open her eyes, but there were only patches of black ghosts in front of her.
"Aren't you afraid of death?" The man in black frowned, "I don't believe it yet......"
The words didn't fall, the man in black stabbed at the girl neatly, Luzhu didn't think about it, and suddenly pounced on the girl, the girl's eyes were clear at this time, she clearly saw the sharp blade piercing Luzhu's back, Luzhu's body was shocked, and he looked at her sadly, and then the corner of his lip bleed on her.
The girl's chest shook violently, and the scene five years ago suddenly overlapped with the figure of Lu Zhu, and a sad cry came out of her throat, and her weak hand was eager to grasp something......
The man in black saw that she wanted to resist, but at this point, the girl was no different from a dead man in his eyes.
"Look at you pitiful, let's have a good baby in the next life."
The man in black said with compassion, pulled out the long sword on the back of the green bamboo, raised his wrist, and the tip of the sword pierced the girl's heart, the girl never closed her eyes, and the tip of the sword under her eyes continued to enlarge, but at the moment when the tip of the sword touched her collar, there was a soft sound of "boom" in the torrential rain.
The next moment, the man in black's hands were strange, and his eyes widened in shock.
He froze statuesquely, and after a moment, fell straight to the girl's side.
When she fell to the ground, the muddy water splashed the girl's face, and the girl didn't expect that the sword failed to stab down, her hand holding a handful of sand and gravel was slightly loose, and when she turned her head, she saw a long arrow stuck in the back of the head of the man in black-
