Chapter Seventy-Five: Distress

"Xianggong, so what do we do now?" At this time, Yuxia walked out from behind Xiahou Jie and looked at him worriedly, now it is different from the past, she can stay behind Xianggong and let him shelter her from the wind and rain, now she must learn to be independent and not let herself become a burden that drags him down.

Xiahou Jie's brows were tangled, his face was cold, and his eyes as sharp as an eagle turned his head to look at the jungle in the distance.

The slight wind blows, and the swaying branches swing so frequently, ordinary people may not notice it, but for Xia Houjie, who has a keen sense of hearing, such a small trick seems extremely insignificant.

What I didn't expect was that the speed of those people was so fast, it seemed that a battle was inevitable today.

The man and Yuxia on the side also followed his gaze, and felt that there was a very strange atmosphere, and there was a tense atmosphere all around, as if it would explode at any time.

Xiahou Jie was silent for a moment, concentrating on the number of people coming, took out the saber on his waist, and raised his voice: "Come out!" ”

There was no movement around, and the man cautiously approached Xiahoujie, and the three of them seemed to be leaning together.

In the jungle, the movement of tree branches became more and more frequent, and the harsh sound of brushing was like the sound of swords clashing.

The sharp sword blade rotated gracefully, sliding down a silver-white loneliness, only to see Xia Houjie's wrist flipped, and the sword pointed directly into the jungle in the distance: "If you don't come out again, don't blame me for being unkind!" ”

The voice said coldly, and the domineering cold aura that Xiahou Jie has been showing in the eyes of outsiders often makes people feel frightened. At this point, there was finally some movement in the jungle.

I saw that the jungle was gradually being peeled away, and the green grass was like a man-made barrier.

Bundles of branches and leaves were still opened, and a group of soldiers in uniforms immediately stood up.

Looking at Xia Houjie with blazing eyes, they were all wary of him, everyone knew how powerful Xia Houjie was, they didn't dare to act rashly, if they were not careful, they might die here, so this team of people and horses had been hiding in the distance to observe, but they didn't dare to step forward, thinking about it, if they hadn't been discovered by Xia Houjie, they would have been hiding somewhere.

"Hmph, it's up to you?" The implication is that they are not his opponents at all, just looking at the fact that they have no solid foundation at all, and their legs are trembling, Xia Houjie will not pay attention to them at all.

The really clear crowd suddenly looked at Xiahou Jie, his arrogant tone somewhat despised everyone's self-esteem, and several seemingly sturdy soldiers standing in front immediately said angrily: "Xiahou Jie, if you can't escape, you should surrender obediently, and we will die around you for the time being." ”

He said disdainfully, "Then I'll see how you go around me!" ”

As soon as the hilt of the sword turned sideways, the soldier's face immediately changed slightly, and they all took a step back in unison.

Xiahou Jie smiled sarcastically: "What? That's all there is to it? ”

As the strength in his hand deepened, the cold aura above the blade gradually dispersed, and the cold aura was like a horror close to death.

However, at this moment, Xia Houjie tried his best to endure the impact of his chest tumbling over the river and the sea.

His hands couldn't help but tremble a little, trembling slightly, the soldiers standing in the distance didn't see it, Xia Houjie knew that if they didn't leave, it was still unknown whether he could hold on, and what he could do now was to emit a great breath of death and scare them away.

The pursed lips were a little white, and there was not a drop of sweat on her forehead, Yuxia stood aside and felt anxious, but she was powerless at the moment.

"Don't you want to leave? If you want to find death! Then I will fulfill you! Fighting to pick up his sword, he walked in the direction of the soldier.

Step by step, even if the pace was small, the soldiers were so frightened that they retreated step by step, and their hearts trembled.

"Big brother, let's withdraw first, just a few of us are not Xia Houjie's opponents at all, wouldn't this be a waste of life?" One soldier's face turned pale with fright, and his legs trembled terribly.

The soldiers in front who seemed to be the leader were also moved by what he said, Xia Houjie was a person they couldn't beat.

"So...... Back off? Hesitantly asked the little soldier behind him, as if he wanted to be recognized, he really couldn't decide at the moment, there were two roads in front of him, one, if he caught Xiahou Jie, he would make a great contribution, maybe he would no longer be able to add an official to the knight, but if he couldn't reach Xiahou Jie, then the second way was death, it is said that no one in Xiahou Jie's hands had ever lived from his sword.

The soldier also hesitated, and the person behind him quickly grabbed his arm and said, "Big brother, it's better to run away than to die, is it possible that you don't want to live?" ”

The man in the lead was moved by what he said, and hurriedly said, "That...... Then withdraw! ”

When everyone heard this, as if they were amnesty, they quickly withdrew the knife in their hands, and immediately turned around and ran away.

When the sound of hurried footsteps gradually disappeared, Xia Houjie finally couldn't hold on, a mouthful of blood spurted out, and the impact on his chest was also reduced a lot.

"Xianggong ......" Yuxia was shocked, and hurriedly stepped forward to support Xiahou Jie.

The man also dragged his injured body forward and knelt on the ground, holding Xia Houjie's arm with one hand, and said indistinctly: "Master, are you injured?" ”

The tip of the sword went straight to the ground, his legs were weak and weak, he knelt on the ground on one knee, the hand holding the hilt of the sword also trembled, looking down at his trembling left hand, he didn't know what it was like in his heart, he slowly raised his hand to wipe the blood on the side of his mouth, and slowly overflowed a touch of bitterness, thinking about when he Xiahoujie had such a situation, it was really ridiculous.

Xiahou Jie didn't speak, and hurriedly looked at Yuxia who was supporting him, and whispered, "Madam......"

didn't think about Yuxia shook her head, she didn't know about Xiahou Jie's injury, she asked him, but he didn't want to mention it.

Looking down at Xiahou Jie's weak arm, Yuxia's tears flowed uncontrollably, "Xianggong, let's find a place to heal our injuries first, it's better not to stay here for a long time to prevent those people from coming back." ”

The man also agreed: "Madame is right, master, let's get out of here first." ”

Xia Houjie raised his head slowly, his face was cold, he was silent, and nodded slightly.

The man and Yuxia helped Xiahou Jie to get up, only to feel that his legs were not strong.

However, not long after the guards who were frightened away by Xia Houjie left, they got rid of the oppressive aura, and their mood relaxed a lot, and suddenly, the leading man exclaimed.

A few people on the side hurriedly asked, "What's wrong?" ”

The man touched his arms, touched his waist and abdomen, looked up and said, "The peace charm my mother gave me is gone!" ”

"Ahh So what to do? ”

"It must have been lost in the place where it was!" The man thought, "No, I'm going to go back and find it." ”

Several people also thought for a moment and said, "Presumably they have left now, and it is not a big deal for us to go back and find it." ”

After a few people agreed, they turned around and turned back, and not long after Xia Houjie and the three of them left, they saw a few people going back.
