twenty-nine
The horses galloped in the dark night with the cold wind open, and only the faint outline of the road ahead could be seen through the weak starlight and wild clouds. Even though the cold night breeze was blowing in her face, she could feel the gradually cold body temperature of the gourd behind her, which was a little colder than this dark night.
She felt his hand around her slowly loosen.
"Hulu?" She grasped the reins of the horse with one hand, and grasped hiss with the other, and the icy temperature immediately passed from the back of his hand into the palm of her hand.
Hulu didn't answer her.
The sound of the hunting wind had long since drowned out the sound of his muffled breathing.
Yan Yun grabbed his hand: "Hold on for a while!" ”
She looked extremely hard, looking for a hidden place to stay in this dark mountain forest, but the woods here were sparse, there was no place to hide, and there was still half a distance from Baling, and the situation of the gourd could not be delayed any longer.
As soon as Yanyun retracted the reins, he stopped decisively.
She jumped off her horse, took hold of the reins, and the horse followed her with the gourd into the woods.
Although it was far away from the inn, in order to prevent her master from discovering her, she could not make a fire to warm and illuminate, so she found a place with few trees and an open moonlight, put down the gourd, and began to inspect his injuries by the moonlight.
"Come, lie down." She helped him to lie down on the ground slowly, Hulu's consciousness had begun to blur a little, his eyes were half-open, but there was no focus, and he kept looking at the sky empty.
Yanyun checked his pulse, the temperature on his body plummeting, the cold air passed through his skin to her fingertips, and her fingers began to feel the familiar dull pain.
The gourd's veins were close to the one they had just been in the inn, and they were gradually weakening, presumably because of the cold poison in his body.
Thinking of the cold poison attack, she sat behind him, helped him up, and pushed his right palm with enough internal force to aim at his back. The gourd received this strong internal force, only to feel a cramping pain in his chest, and the cold blood in his mouth surged, making him vomit and cough up a large pool of black blood. Yanyun saw that this trick worked, so he slapped it again, and the gourd spit out a lot of black blood.
She wanted to drain the remaining poison from his body, so she injected internal force into him many times and asked him to vomit out the black blood, but she found that the poisonous blood in his body could not be drained, and he vomited a lot in a row.
This gourd is full of poisonous blood.
She thought that there were still some Xuanyin whiskers in the baggage that Chi Tianzong had given her before, so she took it out, crushed it and put it into the mouth of the gourd, and let him hold it to slow down the toxicity.
After the gourd vomited a lot of poisonous blood, her face looked better, the cold on her body subsided a little, and the touch of her fingertips did not cause any more pain, so she took this opportunity to inject internal force into his body again, trying to temporarily suppress the dangerous cold poison.
After injecting internal strength, Yanyun only felt tired all over, the whole person was heavy and chaotic, she looked at the sky, the time had come, so she reached out and unlocked the acupoints on the gourd, and then she had no strength anymore and lay down next to him.
Unconsciously, she fell asleep, and this sleep was also dark, and the sounds of plants and trees, insects, and beasts were all left behind by her. Even the dream was dyed by this dim darkness, turning into an endless dimness, and I couldn't get out no matter how I walked.
Suddenly, a black shadow flashed, and the slender whip with the sound of iron joints rubbing against her ears flicked past her ears, and she dodged in horror, but the next whip followed, and the target was not her, but the gourd, and the black bone whip wrapped around the gourd's neck like a living snake! As soon as the black shadow on the other end of the whip raised his hand suddenly, Yanyun heard a muffled sound of broken bones, and the gourd was killed before it didn't even take a mouthful of air!
"Gourd!" She cried out sadly, and suddenly sat up as if all the heavy shackles had been lifted.
The moon and stars are scarce, and the night wind hits people, it turns out that he is dreaming.
Yanyun still turned to look at the people around him worriedly, the gourd was still asleep, but the painful look on his face had eased a lot. She breathed a long sigh of relief, remembered something, and looked in the direction of the time, where there was a black pressure and no sound. Somehow, the master didn't chase after him.
Just as her heart was about to relax, her hand touching the earth felt a vibration, and then a series of urgent horses' hooves came from the direction she came.
She immediately mounted her horse and ran forward.
I heard a voice immediately from the group of horseback riders behind me: "Over there, chase!" ”
She is very familiar with this voice, and it is the third master of Yin.
She lost a lot of internal strength just now, and if she fought hard, it would not only be difficult to win, but she would also pull the hoist into the water. So she had to stay as far away from the gourd as possible and lure all the assassins away.
At this moment, only to hear a whoosh, a poisoned arrow shot from the darkness behind her, this arrow was impartial, and went directly at her right hand holding the reins. Yanyun had to let go of the reins, and the whole person leaned to the left, and due to the unstable center of gravity, he fell straight off the horse.
She was dazzled by the blow, and the horse galloped away with the arrow, her saber was not removed from the saddle, and the only weapon in her hand now was a slender whip, which would be of little use if the assassins were in close combat.
She looked around eagerly, and although she didn't know the exact direction, she must have moved away from the gourd.
If she Huo Yanyun is destined to die here today, at least she will keep the integrity of the gourd.
"Unarmed, at the end of the road, I see where you are going." Yin Sanye's voice came from behind.
Yanyun stood up with difficulty, patted off the mud on his body, and smiled: "Hurting people with dark arrows is your style of Yin Third Master?" The means are too disgraceful. ”
"We won't talk about the old things." Yin Sanye walked out of the darkness to the moonlight, his thin face really looked like the impermanence of the soul, "In Jiangling, you let you run, in Lannan Town, you injured several of my assassins, and now you finally let me catch it." ”
After that, he looked at her side again and said, "Why, that kid didn't come with you to die?" ”
"Don't talk nonsense, even if you take my Huo Yanyun's life, you won't be able to take away Jinghong." Yanyun looked coldly at the assassins who were quietly surrounding her.
"Since there is no shock, what is the use of asking for your life, if you don't say it, I don't bother to force you to say it, arrest you and take you to the criminal department, they have their own way to let you say it." Yin Sanye raised his hand and motioned for his subordinates to arrest Huo Yanyun.
"Isn't the assassin the most despicable to bully the less?"
This voice is......
Yanyun suddenly looked back, and the person who appeared behind her was completely beyond her expectations, she thought that the world was so big that it would be difficult to meet again in this life.
