Chapter Seventy-One: The Hidden Tiger's Den
Chapter Seventy-One: The Hidden Tiger's Den
The carriage turned onto the river bridge, went down the bridge and went around the alley, and when it turned two corners to the left, the coachman whipped the whip like rain, and the two horses began to gallop in pain.
Ru Mo lifted the curtain of the car, and suddenly saw a car coming in front of her, and there were two people sitting on the frame, with a horizontal brow and a cold eye.
The carriage continued to drive, and when the two carriages reached one side, there was suddenly another person in the cold, with black hair tied up in a mess, a face full of stubble, a single knife in hand, and a short and hoarse voice, "Are you here to get the goods?" Come with me!"
"What a great light skill?" Ru Mo Zou nose and praised.
Xiao Yan swept his eyes coldly and said with a smile; "The best is yet to come!"
At last the carriage stopped in a dark place, and I saw the two people sitting on the frame just now jumping off with a whizz, and rushing up to the wall with the power of stepping on the willows by the wall, and disappeared without a trace.
Ru Mo held her breath and said in surprise; "These don't look like people in the palace, are they people in the rivers and lakes?"
Xiao Yan smiled coldly and said lightly; "Follow them, where do you talk so much?"
"What are you muttering? Hurry up and keep up!" The man with a stubble on his face and a single knife in his hand was a little impatient, and yelled at Ru Mo and Xiao Yan.
Jumping over the railing, seeing a high and low thatched hut, passing through the winding dirt road, Ru Mo paused at his feet, held on to a corn vine trellis, sniffed, and said vigilantly; "The taste is wrong, it smells of burnt black charcoal, but it doesn't look like ......"
Xiao Yan put Ru Mo's arm on the shelf, and his tone was still teasing, "You talk so much nonsense, go quickly!"
When he reached his destination, the man with a stubble on his face lit a fire and pointed to the hut road in front of him; "Get in."
The empty hut was dark, with a foul smell and animal smell, and near the corners was covered with a thick cloth that did not allow a trace of light.
Xiao Yan's eyes darkened, and he quickly regained his composure, and asked the man with a scumbag on his face; "What, the goods aren't here? Is there still a mechanism in this hut?"
The bearded man coughed, his face stiffened, and he glanced at Xiao Yandao; "This son is so smart, yes, the secret path is here." With the palm of his hand, a dim candlelight shone through the thick cloth, and then creaked, opening a staircase leading to the underground.
Ru Mo couldn't help but hesitate; "What, is this let's go down?"
The man with a scumbag face calmed his face, nodded, and took the lead in walking down with a fire fold, Xiao Yanmai's legs were just about to follow, but he was stopped by Ru Mo and gently pulled his shirt; "I smell something wrong here, it's too weird, better not go down?"
Xiao Yan's expression was natural, and he smiled innocently; "If you don't enter the tiger's den, you will get the tiger!"
Ru Mo only felt that the ladder was slippery to death, so she stepped on the air, and saw that she was about to fall headfirst down with the force of the slide, but she was unexpectedly grabbed tightly by Xiao Yan and held her steady.
Just when she breathed a sigh of relief, she suddenly saw the two sitting on the frame just now, with a horizontal eyebrow and a cold look. I saw that behind the two people were several round marijuana bags, and a strange smell was emanating from the marijuana bags.
"It doesn't taste right, what's in this sack?" Ru Mo approached the sack, took the fire fold in the hand of the scumbag with a full face, and asked.
The bearded man pursed his lips tightly, and his narrow black eyes burned with murderous intent, and said; "What? Didn't the girl come to pick up the goods?"
"Yes, we're here to pick up the goods. What?" Ru Mo tried her best to maintain her composure, and there was no fear in her eyes.
The bearded man took a step back and said viciously; "This sack contains the 'five poisons', snakes, scorpions, centipedes, geckos, and toads."
Xiao Yan gently pulled Ru Mo back and said with a smile; "What incense shall I be? It turns out that it was nothing more than that. ”
"What is nothing more than that? These goods are highly poisonous, and they must not be bought and sold privately, even if the incense made of the five poisons is harmful to the world, if you want to run out of one casually and bite someone, won't you die?" Ru Mo glared at Xiao Yan with blaming eyes and shouted.
"I didn't expect that the person who came to me to pick up the goods was actually such a girl with a sense of justice, hehe, I don't think you are here to pick up the goods, you can't keep it......" As soon as the scumbag-faced man's voice fell, he pulled out a knife out of nowhere and rushed straight towards Ru Mo.
"Be careful!" Xiao Yan shouted, took out his sword from his waist like a flash of lightning, and blocked a knife for Ru Mo in time, and then heard the two people with scumbags on their faces and their eyes go forward to "capture alive".
Xiao Yan turned around and picked up Ru Mo, ran up the ladder, and asked sharply; "Aren't you going to do light work? Why don't you run?"
"In that small, dark place, do you use your light functions? Besides, if you have the ability to leave everyone behind, don't you have the ability to deal with these unscrupulous thieves?" Ru Mo shouted with anger in her eyes.
Ru Mo's words could almost make Xiao Yan angry, and before he had time to let go of the person who kicked and called the "chaos" in his arms, his face was full of scum and horizontal eyebrows, and his cold eyes had already chased out.
Xiao Yan, who was holding Ru Mo, suddenly flashed, and swung a sword with one hand, and suddenly the sword cut a bloody mark on the face of the scumbag man, and blood flowed out.
Heng Mei, seeing that the situation was not good, rushed forward with a big knife, surrounded Ru Mo and Xiao Yan, and prepared to launch a fierce offensive.
Xiao Yan secretly pinched Ru Mo with his hand and whispered; "I'll let you go in a while, and you can run out quickly, don't look back."
"What?" Before Ru Mo could ask, Xiao Yan had already put Ru Mo down, pushed her hard, and said loudly; "Get out of the hut."
Ru Mo's eyes gradually showed a look of horror, and she ran to Xiao Yan and shouted, "I don't run, if you come in together, you have to go out together......."
At the same time that Ru Mo ran towards Xiao Yan, Xiao Yan found that the knife in his hand with horizontal eyebrows and cold eyes had been raised and aimed at Ru Mo.
Xiao Yan made a false move, and took the opportunity to jump in front of Ru Mo, his face changed slightly, his eyes were full of affection, and his lips smiled, "Can you trust me to protect you?"
"What?" Ru Mo was surprised and grabbed Xiao Yan, "When is it?" You still ask this kind of idiot question...... "Just when she didn't react at all, a big knife was almost close to her body, and Xiao Yan, who was hugging Ru Mo, instantly turned around and used his own body to block the knife.
Ru Mo was stunned for a moment, and then shouted as if she had lost her mind, "Xiao Yan, you're full, why do you want to block the knife for me?" She didn't realize that at the moment when she was anxious, she had already called his name, "Xiao Yan".
Xiao Yan looked at the tears in Ru Mo's eyes, her heart was overflowing with happiness, and she couldn't help but endure the pain of the wound and laughed; "I'll be able to protect you after all!"
Ru Mo squatted down, picked up Xiao Yan's saber, raised his internal force to use light skills, and rushed to the front of the scumbag man with a strong stride, grabbed with one hand, the sword was against his neck, and roared; "If you want to live, put us in the carriage, or I'll leave you dead."
The bearded man didn't expect the girl in front of him to become so brave all of a sudden, and he was immediately frightened, begging for mercy in the care of life and death; "Girl, spare my life, I'm also old and young, I'll go and prepare the carriage, go, go, go......"
Ru Mo picked up Xiao Yan, walked out of the hut, saw the light of day again, clenched the sword in her hand, and unconsciously slipped a tear in her eyes, and said in her heart; "Xiao Yan, unlucky, I won't let you have anything!"
Xiao Yan was hugged tightly by Ru Mo, and when she didn't pay attention, she picked up the saber that was temporarily placed on the ground, looked at the sky dyed red by the sunset in the distance, and with a wave of the tip of the sword, a brilliant and beautiful sword flower rose to the sky in an instant.
In the field, Fan Yun, who was wiping his sword, caught a glimpse of the sporadic sword flowers in the sky, and the whole person was shocked, and immediately ordered a group of tightly clothed guards; "Master's warning has arrived, go, come with me."
The sun was full of rain and rain, and the evening that was originally bathed in sunlight soon turned into a dim rain and haze wind barrier. Ru Mo drove the carriage to the river, pulled the reins and jumped out of the carriage, ran to the river and held some water in her hand, and got into the carriage carefully, for fear that the water in her hand would spill.
"Xiao Yan, how do you feel? Does the wound hurt? The knife came out, why can't the wound stop bleeding?" Ru Mo's eyes were full of anxiety and worry, and she dripped the water in her hand into his lips while crying.
Feeling that there were drops of water falling on his face, Xiao Yan slowly opened his eyes, looking at Ru Mo's tears that had fallen, and said in a low voice with a hint of love; "You're finally not pushing me away anymore? I feel so happy that you were hurt. ”
She held his hand tightly and cried incoherently, "You're happy....... Are you happy...... Every time...... Why did you block that knife for me? You never understood me, did you?"
"I don't understand, I don't want to understand, I just know that every time I hurt you, I will hurt you a hundred, a thousand times more than you, and I swear that I will never let you hurt again......" He wiped the tears that slipped down the corners of her eyes for her, full of apologies.
His words pierced her heart, she tried her best to restrain her tears, and put her hand on his hot forehead, her voice trembling with worry, "Don't say it, save your energy, when is it, and still say these 'nonsense'......"
As if he hadn't heard her "stop", he continued to mumble to himself; "I've wanted to take you out of the 'there {palace}' for a long time, but I've been dragging it out, and I had to shoot that sword at you in a hurry, and now I'm okay, I've been stabbed too, and we're even, right?"
"yes, are you just going to tie it with me? You're going to torture me in a different way, so you're happy? If then you will be happy, then I don't care if you give me a few more swords, I just want you to be well, I don't want to see you hurt, don't ...... at all" she said and paused again; "Why did I promise Brother Shen to help him pick up the goods, what kind of conspiracy did they have? Why did I listen to you and didn't let Fan Yun and them follow, putting you in danger, if I had to think about it more at the time, it wouldn't have been like this...... Why didn't your martial arts parry those thieves? By the way, isn't it that Master's poison hasn't been cured yet......."
Before she finished chattering, his warm lips were already printed on her lips, and suddenly her eyes widened, and she insisted, "Xiao Yan, Mo'er is back, I'm your Ru Mo!"
He seemed to hear the voice in her heart, an indescribable smile of happiness from her thin pale lips, her eyelids closed slightly, she fell asleep, and he didn't even hear the words of someone no longer going around in circles.
"Xiao Yan, I'm Ru Mo, I'm wearing a mask on my face, didn't you already recognize me? You wake up, I'll tell you, I'm no longer joking, no longer pretending, I'm not like a flower like jade, the ink of tea and ink, I am Ru Mo, Leng Ru Mo who was shot by you with a sword, and now you give me back this sword, why is it more painful than stabbing me? Wake up, don't scare me, I'm your Mo'er......" She held his bloodless face and cried so loudly.
