The girl in black did not dodge, took off her black robe, pulled out the two eagle-beak-shaped scimitars on her waist, and calmly confronted the attacking Huo soldiers. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Qing Ping and Li Yiheng, who were hiding between the forks of the trees, saw the girl's true appearance clearly: under the black robe was a neat blue-gray cheongsam, short blond hair, a round face, and blue eyes revealed a resolute and fearless look.

A soldier stepped out of the encirclement with his saber in his hand, and it could be seen that he was the leader of the soldiers, and said, "Please don't resist needlessly, and go back with us." ”

The girl said coldly: "The king of your Huo clan is arrogant and lascivious, and he captures the daughters of ordinary people as concubines to satisfy his own selfish desires, and I am just doing the right thing for heaven." ”

"Then you can only be rude to the girl, the girl doesn't say that there are many of us and there are few bullies. The soldier at the head said, drawing his sword, and the other eight soldiers also drew their swords and approached the girl.

The girl faced the gradually shrinking encirclement, the double knives in her hands were held tighter, her blue eyes flexibly examined the movements of the soldiers who pressed over around her, and suddenly the double knives in her hands quickly swung left and right, blocking a long sword that was split from behind, and slid down her waist, stabbing the thigh tendon veins of the sword-wielding soldier, the soldier fell to the ground and could no longer stand up, and then the girl got up and dodged the three swept long swords, spread out her hands, blocking the blades stabbed on both sides, and the metallic sound from the impact of the scimitar and the long sword floated to the ears of Li Yiheng and the three of them.

Qing Ping was extremely anxious, very worried about the girl's safety, maybe seeing the girl beautiful, the hero's mentality of saving the beauty was making trouble, Qing Ping said to Li Yiheng eagerly: "You see that so many of them deal with a girl, it is really not gentlemanly enough, we can't sit idly by!"

Li Yiheng looked at the girl and didn't fall behind, so he joked: "You see that she is so good at fighting, we may be a burden in the past, or we will hide here safely and watch, if the girl really can't stop it, let's shoot again, and show more might." ”

Xiao Yi heard Li Yiheng's words, he couldn't get used to it, and he pecked Li Yiheng's earlobe again, this time Li Yiheng didn't care so much, he reached out to grab Xiao Yiheng, but Xiao Ji dodged and flew above Li Yiheng's head, so anxious that Li Yiheng stared.

Qingping was also very angry with Li Yiheng's words, looked back at the girl who was fighting with the soldiers, and wanted to help, but hesitated: "My current hand to help may be really burdensome, but Li Yiheng is not going, what should I do now?"

At this time, the eight soldiers were in groups of four, taking turns to carry out fatigue tactics against the girl, and the girl also clearly saw that her physical strength was gradually exhausted, and her movements slowed down, and several times she narrowly avoided the long sword that stabbed her.

Just when Qingping thought that they should make a move, the girl suddenly spread her hidden wings, which were a pair of eagle-shaped wings that were also blue-gray, flapping, soaring into the air, flapping violently, and shooting many arrow feathers from the wings, just like the arrow feathers that attacked Li Yiheng just now, instantly hit the four soldiers who also spread their wings and attacked, some of the arrow feathers hit their wings, some hit the arms and limbs, and the four soldiers all fell.

Qingping's worried heart at this moment also calmed down a little, but it was only a short moment, the soldier led by him took out a round wooden ball from his clothes, split it and threw it at the girl in black, when it was less than two meters away from the woman in black, it suddenly exploded, and a large amount of white powder hidden in it attacked the woman in black, although the reaction of the woman in black was also extremely fast, and she quickly instigated her wings to blow away these things, but there was still a little white powder adhered to the girl's eyes and skin, and the moment the white powder touched the skin, it produced burning pain, and the girl's body in the air was already shaky, and she would be captured at any time。

Li Yiheng lost his temper when he saw this, and scolded: "Master, I just see that these yin tricks are not pleasing to the eye, and this time I don't need you to say that I will save her." ”

As soon as the words fell, Li Yi jumped up horizontally, stepped on the scattered branches and attacked the soldiers who were "waving" their wings, Qingping also spread his wings and flew towards the girl who was struggling in the air, and Xiao Ji also followed.

In anger, Li Yiheng moved much faster, and before Qingping could reach the heads of the four soldiers, he attacked the leader of the soldiers holding the paper bag.

The leader of the soldiers also reacted quickly, threw away the paper bag, and waved his knife to block the umbrella blade that Li Yiheng stabbed over, and the other three soldiers took the opportunity to slash at Li Yiheng's right arm.

Li Yiheng smiled slightly: The umbrella blade suddenly became longer and turned into an umbrella shield, and suddenly only four crisp sounds were heard, and the long swords in the hands of the soldiers were cut, and they were still holding the broken sword in their hands, looking at Li Yiheng incredulously.

Without offensive weapons, Li Yiheng easily knocked down the four people, and the leader, seeing that the situation was unfavorable, led the remnants of the soldiers to fly away, and those who could not fly staggered and fled.

Li Yiheng looked at the umbrella shield on his right arm with satisfaction: "Now I am getting more and more proficient in using it." Looking back at the girl, I saw that Qingping was helping the girl to fall to the ground, the girl's expression was extremely painful, and the exposed skin on the girl's body was corroded red by white powder, which was a fatal injury to the girl who loved beauty.

Qingping helped the girl and asked with concern, "What are these white things, and how do you wipe them off?"

The girl endured the pain, squatted down, broke off a "mimosa" and put it in her mouth to chew, then spit out the cold-glowing plant branches and leaves in her mouth, rubbed it on the injured area, and the burned skin of the affected area suddenly regained its luster.

After wiping all the wounds, the girl sat down on the ground and said, "Those white powders are made from the juice of poison ivy, which can corrode the skin, and these glowing plants are just right to treat the burns of poison ivy's branches and leaves." ”

Li Yiheng heard the girl say that these plants were so magical, so he picked a few, kneaded them into a ball, and put them in his pocket for emergencies.

Qingping seems to care about the girl very well, which is shown by Li Yiheng seeing that he is cooking and cleaning at home, Qingping took out the handkerchief he carried with him and dipped it in water, and handed the girl to wipe the plant residue remaining on the skin.

"Who are they, and why are they arresting you?" Qingping continued to ask, anxious to get to the bottom of the girl's affairs.

The girl looked at Qingping's concerned eyes, her white and tender face flushed, Li Yiheng knew that it was the shyness of the girl when her love first opened, it seems that Qingping is very good at attracting girls! Li Yiheng thought of this, and actually felt a sour feeling in his nose.

"This, to put it simply, they are the secret catchers of the Huo Clan, who are responsible for capturing some beautiful girls and bringing them to the king, and I was hunted down because I disrupted one of their operations. The girl said with an angry and proud expression.

Qingping was also enjoying his first love at this time, and he felt more and more cute when he saw the girl's angry expression.

Li Yiheng asked calmly: "I saw your spread wings just now, which are different from the wings of the Huo and Qing tribes, are you from the Ying tribe?"

The girl nodded: "That's right, I'm from the Ying clan." ”

"But you are now in the territory of the Huo clan, of course their king will send troops to hunt you down, and besides, you also interfere with the private affairs of other kings and prevent other kings from marrying daughters-in-law, so that anyone will hunt you down. Li Yiheng said matter-of-factly.

This made Qingping unhappy, and asked Li Yiheng rhetorically: "It's already great for a girl to be able to act bravely, why do you blame her?"

"I'm just talking about things, I don't mean anything else, don't get me wrong, alas, say you don't misunderstand, why don't you get started, put down the dirt in your hand. Li Yiheng hurriedly explained, because Qingping, who was looking at the emotion, was already preparing to attack Li Yiheng.

"You're right, but I don't regret it. The girl said firmly.

"By the way, I haven't asked you what your name is, my name is Qingping, and this guy's name is Li Yiheng", Qingping said and stretched out his middle finger and pointed at Li Yiheng, "The one on his shoulder is Xiao Ding, Li Yiheng's pet." ”

Hearing the word "pet", Xiao Ji was very dissatisfied, and for the sake of Qingping's current spring breeze, he didn't make any out-of-the-ordinary moves, turned his head away, and ignored it.

The girl stood up slowly, Qingping hurriedly stepped forward to support her, the girl's face was even redder, and her voice became softer: "My name is Yingci." ”

"Miss Yingci, where are you going now, are you going home, your body is still weak, why don't we send you?" Qingping asked with concern.

Li Yiheng looked at Qingping's appearance, remembering that he and Lin Xiaying were also in this scene, but Lin Xiaying was the one who took the initiative, Li Yiheng sighed: "It's the same man, you make me ashamed!"

Qingping didn't understand what Li Yiheng meant, so he only cared about supporting Yingci carefully, Li Yiheng didn't explain, and asked: "Miss Yingci, what Qingping said is also right, you are staying in the territory of the Huo clan and the danger now, so you should come with us first and discuss after returning to your clan." ”

This sentence is obviously to create an opportunity for Qingping, Qingping is not stupid, nodding to Li Yiheng knowingly, Li Yiheng also nodded in response, the two of them are like wolves and embarrassed at the moment, and Yingci was fooled into walking towards his country with them.

With a girl with her, or a wounded girl, the team, which was already not moving quickly, became slower this time. Qingping was not in a hurry, taking care of Yingci, as if he had completely left the task of this trip behind, and Li Yiheng could not leave them to go their own way, otherwise Qingping would definitely scold himself for not being righteous in the back.

Thinking of this, Li Yiheng said to Xiao Ji: "Xiao Ji, look, our current travel speed is so slow, I don't know when we will be able to reach our destination, otherwise you can try to see if you can become a little bigger, as long as you can accommodate one more person than the transformation you did when you fought and Luo Niu, yes, it is Yingci, we can reach the Ying clan quickly, without being tortured by Qingping, what do you think?"

After speaking, Li Yiheng felt that something was wrong, and hurriedly added: "Look, you are dragging such a beautiful girl as Yingci, it is a blessing that you can fly with her, and the mood must be much more comfortable than being with me, don't you want to? Don't you feel a little faintly excited?"

Xiao Ji was thinking deeply with his eyes closed, and when he heard Li Yiheng's later words, he opened his eyes suddenly, his eyes flashed with shrewd light, flew away from Li Yiheng's shoulder, flipped around in the air, and with a "bang", he suddenly transformed into a big bird, and the down feathers became stiff, but it was still a childish little bit.

Looking at Xiao Ji floating in the air, Li Yiheng's heart was stabbed by countless disappointed thoughts into long arrows: "Xiao Ji, we have been together for so long day and night, it is not as good as you know Yingci sister for a quarter of an hour, you are too chilling to me!"

Xiao Ji was still obedient, and finally solved a problem, Li Yiheng said to Qingping and Yingci behind him: "Two, in order to speed up the march, I specially invited Miss Yingci to sit on Xiao Ji, and Xiao Ji took Yingci girl to fly, so that she would arrive at the destination faster." ”

"What about you, what should you do?" Qingping asked Li Yiheng with a suspicious look.

Li Yiheng pretended to cough twice, and said: "Well, you also know, Xiao Ji has always been my exclusive mount, no one else can ride, this time I also persuaded him in every possible way to agree to only let Miss Yingci sit on, so I will help you take care of Miss Yingci, don't worry, after all, we have to put our benefactor first!"

Qingping couldn't expose the lies made up by the two of them at this moment, but he looked at Li Yiheng's slightly ridiculous expression, and said reluctantly: "It's okay, Miss Yingci is carried by Xiao Ji, and our travel speed will indeed be much faster, but Miss Yingci is almost recovered, and she can hold Xiao Ji by herself, you just let me fly, after all, Xiao Ji is also tired with the two of them, right, Xiao Ji?" Qingping asked Xiao Ji who was floating in the air.

This is simply for the benefit of Xiao Ji, this time Xiao Ji can stay alone with Miss Yingci, this condition must be agreed, so Xiao Ji nodded at Qingping and agreed.

Li Yiheng looked at Xiao Xiao's two-faced appearance, and he was helpless: "It's okay, then you can take me to fly." ”

Yingci spread her eagle wings, flew to Xiao Ji's back, held Xiao Ji's neck to stabilize her body, and flew upwards driven by Xiao Ji.

Qingping looked at Li Yiheng proudly, as if to say, "Your kid's plan didn't succeed." ”

Li Yiheng also guessed what Qingping meant, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, I'm a person with a girlfriend, and I won't do anything out of the ordinary!" immediately turned over and grabbed Qingping's hands tightly, and Qingping followed Xiao Ji to the Ying clan.
