Chapter 14: Golden Phoenix Blood

The twilight country and the Yue country are connected across the mountain, and the city is on the only passage on the border between the two countries, if you bypass the city, you must climb over the uninhabited heavy mountain, and in the cold winter of this month, the mountain is even more cold and abnormal. After thinking about it again, Nano still took Han Xin to Liucheng. It's just that before entering the city, the two went through some disguises, Na Wu changed into the clothes of the rich young master, and Han Xin dressed up as a little maid.

Because Han Xin's previous injuries had not been well treated, the wounds began to suppurate and infect, and the two had to go to a remote hospital in the city for treatment. Outside the medical hall, a thin little beggar squatted on the snow and shivered, with two copper coins in a broken bowl beside him. For many days, the little beggar has not eaten a good meal, and if he continues like this, it is estimated that he will starve to death in this cold winter like the old beggar before. Although he doesn't have much strength, his eyes are always observing the situation around him, and whenever there is any movement, he will immediately notice it, run forward, and see if there is anything to eat, as clever as a little sparrow.

Today is the same as usual, Uncle Ma still carries a sack full of vegetables to the market to sell, Granny Zhang next door always comes out for a walk with a cane in the morning, and Mother Wang will come out to rest after work, as well as Uncle Li, Aunt Liu, Hu Laohan, etc., these people are seen by little beggars every day, and they have given him some small money, but after a long time, no one pays attention to him anymore, and he has never begged from them again.

Until the afternoon, there was only an hour before dark, and suddenly two strangers came here, the man was in his thirties, dressed like a rich man, and the woman was about eighteen, and at first glance he knew that he was a subordinate, but one leg seemed to be injured, and he was limping, and he could only walk slowly with the support of the man.

Seeing the two coming, the little beggar picked up the broken bowl and ran over.

"This uncle, okay, I haven't eaten for a few days, reward a few small dollars, God bless you with a safe year." ”

Na Wu glanced at the little beggar and wanted to leave, but was stopped by Han Xin. Nano then took out some money from his pocket and gave it to the little beggar. At this time, the little beggar peeked at the two of them out of the corner of his eye, but found nothing abnormal.

"Thanks!"

The little beggar took the money, walked away happily, and ran towards the downtown area, "Finally, I have money to buy food." ”

Na Wu glanced in the direction the little beggar had left, with a worried expression.

"What's wrong?"

"Nothing. ”

After that, Ming Wu helped Han Xin into the medical hall.

The doctor is an old white-bearded old man, who now lives here alone, amiable. Although there are not many patients, they can barely make ends meet.

When the old man saw the two of them, he didn't show any abnormality, just like he treats ordinary patients, and didn't ask too much.

Due to the severity of his injuries, it took several hours to treat Han Xin's wounds, and by this time the sky had already darkened. Nano was already sleepy, and he had eaten dreamless fruit for the past few nights to beat his spirits, so he fell asleep during the doctor's visit. It happened that Han Xin's wound had just been treated, and it was inconvenient to move around, and there was an extra room here, so the two of them stayed under the doctor's arrangement.

The next morning, when Nano woke up, he found that Han Xin was not there, and after hurriedly asking the doctor, he found out that Han Xin had gone to the street alone to buy something. Since he didn't know when Han Xin would come back, Mingwu didn't dare to go out to find her. After filling the well water and washing his face, Nano came to the outside of the medical hall and found that yesterday's little beggar was squatting not far away, sneaking a few glances at the medical hall from time to time. Seeing that the name did not come out, the little beggar immediately ran over and said with a smile: "Thanks to you yesterday, I had a full meal." ”

"Did you see the girl who was with me yesterday going out this morning?"

"Nope. Isn't she there?" the little beggar looked sad.

"No, no, nothing. ”

Na Wu was about to go back to the medical hall, but found Han Xin holding a wooden stick and walking towards here very happily. Seeing Han Xin, Ming Wu breathed a sigh of relief.

"What are you going to buy?"

"Secret. ”

Mingwu didn't ask much, and helped Han Xin into the medical hall. At this time, the little beggar immediately took out a portrait from his sleeve, which was Han Xin's wanted warrant.

"Haha, it's her!" said the little beggar excitedly, and then ran towards the center of the city.

In the medical hall, the old doctor has prepared some wine and food to entertain the two.

"Thank you, Doctor. "Han Xin.

"No, that's as it should be. ”

Han Xin didn't understand what the old doctor meant, he just felt that it was a polite remark, but Nano had already noticed it.

After eating, the old doctor said, "You better get out of here quickly." ”

"What's wrong?" Han Xin.

Na Wu pulled Han Xin, bowed slightly to the old doctor, and said, "Thank you for taking care of you." After that, he helped Han Xin to walk outside the medical hall.

As soon as they went out, the two found that there were already rows of archers standing at the door, pulling their bows and pointing at them.

"Hand over the princess. A leader of officers and soldiers on horseback shouted.

Mingwu ignored these people, helped Han Xin, and continued to walk forward.

"Shoot the arrows!"

Dozens of arrows flew towards the two of them, and the arrows seemed to hit the two of them, but they seemed to shoot on the phantom, passing through the bodies of the two of them, and the two of them were unscathed, despite this, the rain of arrows continued to shoot.

I thought I could get out of here smoothly, but suddenly, a blood mark appeared on Nano's face, and an arrow actually scratched Nano. Na Wu was surprised to touch the blood on his face, only to feel sleepiness hit like a raging flood, and then fell to his knees, and his consciousness began to blur.

"Stop!"

The archers stopped.

"What's wrong?" Han Xin shouted eagerly.

At this time, a group of soldiers came up and forcibly pulled Han Xin away.

"Let go of me, Uncle Wu, what's wrong?" Han Xin shouted as he struggled.

"There's evening incense in the dish, is it the old doctor?" Nano fell to the ground, exclaiming in his heart, "Dreamless Fruit! Yes, it might be better to eat some Dreamless Fruit." ”

Na Wu hurriedly felt in his pocket, only to find that the dreamless fruit had long since run out. At this time, he got up from the ground with no difficulty, and staggered towards Han Xin, but he didn't take a few steps before he fell to the ground again, and could only watch Han Xin being taken away by a group of officers and soldiers.

After the officers and soldiers dispersed, all the nearby residents gathered around and talked in a whisper. I couldn't hear it clearly, and I didn't want to hear it, and I kept thinking about what was going on.

At this moment, a person walked out of the crowd of onlookers, and this person was none other than the warlock Jinyou. Jinyou squatted down and whispered in Nano's ear, "I know who you are and your weaknesses. I put the evening incense in the dish, and I've been waiting for you here for a long time. ”

It turned out that last night, after the little beggar went to the city, he saw the wanted notice and felt that the person on the painting looked very much like the person who gave him money just now, so he ran to report to the official, and when he came to the gate of the official mansion, he felt uncertain, for fear of being bullied by someone if he misreported it, and Han Xin would not run if he was injured, so he secretly tore off a wanted notice and squatted at the door of the medical hall. But this scene happened to be seen by Jinyou who was passing by, so he followed the little beggar and found Na Wu and Han Xin.

......

At this time, Na Wu fell to the ground, but his hand quietly touched a broken arrow, and suddenly he jumped up, and threw it towards Jinyou with all his strength, and the broken arrow grazed the air with sparks, flashing.

Jinyou was so taken aback that he didn't have time to dodge, when a broken arrow shot at his chest, and a burst of white mist suddenly rose up, and when it dispersed, only a torn cloak was left on the ground. Not far away, a person smiled slightly and left here, it was Jinyou.

Regaining consciousness slightly, Nano immediately ran into the hospital, but was surprised to find that the old doctor had been killed by several arrows. When he came to the pharmacy, Na Wu began to rummage, and soon found the dreamless fruit in a cabinet and immediately took it.

"Han Xin, don't do anything to you, I'll be here right away. ”

Na didn't dare to stop for a moment, and rushed towards the center of the city.

On the way, Na Wu saw the little beggar, ran over and grabbed him, and shouted, "Do you know where they took her?"

"I, I don't know. Seeing Nano, the little beggar was so frightened that he peed his pants.

Nano threw down the little beggar and continued to rush forward with all his might, like a loaded bullet, and the air flow it brought up even blew over the stalls of the vendors on the side of the road.

"Where, exactly?"

At this time, there was the neighing of war horses in front of him, and Nano followed the sound to chase after him, and soon he left Liucheng. Ahead, a group of men and horses escorted a man galloping away.

He didn't stop, took a deep breath, and shouted loudly: "Han-Xinβ€”β€”!"

On horseback, Han Xin, whose hands and feet were tied, heard someone calling her, looked back, and found that it was Mingwu, and then replied loudly: "Uncle Mingwu, I'm here!"

Na Wu was about to chase the horses, and suddenly a figure appeared in front of him, it was Jinyou.

"I didn't expect you to chase after you so quickly, but I can't let you chase after you so easily. ”

"Get out of the way!"

With a murderous aura, Nano rushed towards Jinyou, his hand already tightly gripping the hilt of the knife. Jinyou stretched out his arms, and suddenly a lot of white mist appeared from his body, obscuring Nano's vision, and then hundreds of paper runes spun like countless sharp blades and flew towards Nano.

In the dark, I only heard a clear sound of the long knife coming out of the sheath, and in the blink of an eye, Nano pierced out of the white mist, and the knife had already been withdrawn into the scabbard.

Behind it, the shredded rune paper was scattered all over the ground, and there was a bloody mark on Jinyou's face. Nano turned his head to glance at Jinyou with his afterglow, and continued to chase after the group of centaurs in the distance.

"Haha, failure, failure. Looking at the back of Ming Wu's departure, Jin You couldn't help but smile bitterly.
