As soon as Li Zheng's words fell, he suddenly heard a scolding voice not far ahead, but it was Song Zhuo's voice.

Xiao Yilan was in a hurry, and hurriedly pulled Li Zheng and Meng Lin back to the carriage, lying down and pretending to be corpses at will. Song Zhuo's figure appeared from the edge of the woods, and there were two figures behind him, one strong and one thin, vaguely the monkey bear he had seen that day.

Song Zhuo was still complaining: "Father is really suspicious, such a big Hou Mansion, how can it be so easy for the surnamed Xiao to escape, I want to go back and stare at it, so I can't see the excitement, that tree spirit is rare, I haven't seen it yet!"

The monkey next to him laughed and said: "Master Hou is also worried about the safety of the young master, after all, the tree spirit is very weird, extremely difficult to deal with, in case of a mistake, the subordinates can't deal with it." ”

Song Zhuo muttered, obviously still a little unhappy, but he didn't dare to disobey Song Wenzheng after all, and walked forward without slowing down. As he approached the carriage, he suddenly let out a "bang".

Xiao Yilan's heart tightened, thinking that Song Zhuo had discovered him, and couldn't help but want to open his eyes, but he heard Song Zhuo scolding: "It's really unlucky! I came to this place again, and I was tripped by a dead man!" Then there was a sound of stomping and kicking, presumably Song Zhuo was angry at the corpse.

Xiao Yilan, who was lying on the ground, felt the sound of footsteps gradually, and then felt a pain in his back, as if he was pressed by a heavy object, as if his bones were about to be displaced, and he almost couldn't help but scream, but someone stepped on him, and then the rough laughter of the big bear sounded: "Young master, don't worry, just raise your feet and step on it like this, the dead will not react." ”

When Song Zhuo heard this, he immediately became interested, trampled on several corpses on the ground, and said with a smile: "I can also step on the living!" Xiao Yilan was angry in his heart, worried that he would hurt Meng Lin, and was thinking about turning over and hitting a surprise, when he suddenly heard an "ah" sound, the monkey let out a scream, Xiao Yilan finally couldn't help it and opened his eyes.

I saw the monkey squatting on the ground, holding his right foot, and a figure rose from the ground and pressed against the monkey. Xiao Yilan looked at the slender figure in surprise, but it was Meng Lin, who plunged a short sword into the monkey's chest. Then, as if she had exhausted all her strength, she shrank back with a pale face, and fell to the ground, her blood-stained hands trembling.

Song Zhuo and Da Xiong were stunned in place, Xiao Yilan thought that he couldn't miss the opportunity, quickly turned over and sat up, picked up a knife from the ground and slashed at the nearby big bear, and Li Zheng on the side also pounced on Song Zhuo.

The big bear is a dull person after all, and it is dark night, and when he reacts, Xiao Yilan's knife has already reached his back. He shouted angrily, desperately dodged, but his body was clumsy, and Xiao Yilan cut a deep wound on his waist and back, but Xiao Yilan was also swept out by his punch, and the knife flew out of his hand.

Xiao Yilan only felt that the sky was spinning, and as soon as he landed, the fishy breath in his mouth surged, and then a mouthful of blood spurted out.

"Stop!" Li Zheng pressed Song Zhuo to the ground, his short sword resting on his neck, and looked at the big bear viciously. Meng Lin struggled to stand up and walked to Xiao Yilan's side to help him up. Xiao Yilan looked at Meng Lin's hands with sticky blood, his heart was agitated, he reached out to hold her hand, and said softly: "Don't worry, it's okay." Meng Lin's cheeks suddenly turned red.

Da Xiong covered his wounds, looked at Song Zhuo beside Li Zheng, and scolded: "If you dare to touch him, you will not be able to get out of this Yuanzhou!"

"I won't hurt him, how about you let us go?"

Da Xiong hesitated a little and looked back at Xiao Yilan and Meng Lin. Song Wenzheng ordered that Xiao Yilan and the others could not escape, but if Song Zhuo went wrong, it was not something he could afford. So he hesitated for a moment.

Seeing his expression, Li Zheng handed the knife closer to Song Zhuo's neck, and shouted again: "How?"

Song Zhuo was so frightened that his face turned pale, and he scolded repeatedly: "Bastard...... What they want, they ...... It's all theirs, are you stupid?"

The big bear gritted his teeth and said in a deep voice: "Okay, it's all up to you!"

Li Zheng gave Xiao Yilan an inquiring look, Xiao Yilan thought for a while, and then said to Da Xiong: "You step back first, after we run away, you come and pick up your young master!" Li Zheng frowned and opened his mouth, but still didn't say anything. It's just that his hand holding the short sword is a little white, and if it weren't for the darkness of the night, Big Bear could even see that his hand was trembling slightly.

Meng Lin walked towards Li Zheng with Xiao Yilan in her arms, and suddenly Meng Lin let go of her hand and pounced on the big bear again, the cold light flashed in her hand, but it was the short sword from before, which was hidden by her in her sleeve. Big Bear's attention was all on Song Zhuo, and he had deliberately checked it before, Meng Lin and Xiao Yilan did not have blades in their hands, knowing that they had no skills, if it wasn't for a sneak attack, they would not be able to take advantage, and they didn't see their actions of picking up blades, so they were a little lax.

Meng Lin's movements were not very fast, but they happened to be in the blind spot of the big bear, and they were silent, and the short sword stabbed straight into the ribs of the big bear. The muscles in the big bear's body instinctively contracted, but it had no effect, and Meng Lin could feel the blade cut through the muscles, piercing into the big bear's body, straight to the internal organs.

The big bear was hit by the sword in the ribs, snorted, and fell into a pool of blood without even turning around.

Song Zhuo was stunned for a moment, and then scolded: "Bastard! It's not that you just want to let you go!

Xiao Yilan didn't expect Meng Lin to react at all, so she was stunned in place, and when Meng Lin let go of the short sword and took a few steps back when she was unsteady on her feet, Xiao Yilan hurriedly stepped forward to support her.

Meng Lin's face was pale, but he was much calmer than he thought. Looking at Xiao Yilan's worried expression, she showed a tired smile, her face was still a little flushed, and she looked more and more delicate and cute: "I'm fine." ”

Xiao Yilan nodded and walked towards Li Zheng and Song Zhuo.

When Song Zhuo saw Xiao Yilan approaching, he stopped scolding and dared to stare at him. Li Zheng's short sword never left Song Zhuo's throat, and before he recovered from the shock, he just subconsciously asked, "What should he do?"

"Just tie it to a tree and don't hurt him. Xiao Yilan was injured, his breath was unstable, and he was a little worried about Mu and Luo Yu, and after explaining, he and Meng Lin followed the mark left by Luo Yu and walked forward.

Before Li Zheng could react, Xiao Yilan and Meng Lin had already disappeared from sight. He muttered to himself: "I'm alone, and I don't have a rope, how can I tie it?"

He thought for a moment, then took off Song Zhuo's coat, cut it into strips with a short sword, and planned to use it to tie him up, but he only had two hands, cutting his coat, and if he was careless, he let Song Zhuo break away and run into the distance.

Fortunately, Li Zheng was originally a blacksmith, and he was much better than Song Zhuo in terms of speed and strength, and he didn't run far before he pushed Song Zhuo to the ground. Song Zhuo was unwilling, and thinking about Xiao Yilan's previous entrustment, he couldn't care about the short sword in Li Zheng's hand, and began to scold.

"Take away your dirty hands, and when my father finds him, he will cut you with a thousand knives!"

Li Zheng turned a deaf ear and said with a smile: "Hou Ye Song doesn't know where you are, Yangxun City is so big inside and outside, when he finds you, you may starve to death." So I advise you to save some strength and use it again when the time comes!"

Song Zhuo saw that Li Zheng was not angry, he was a little more bold, and snorted: "You cheap breed, it's just a dog of Xiao Yilan's kid! Even your master doesn't dare to hurt my life, what are you barking like a dog here?"

Li Zheng's eyes narrowed slightly, and his tone was a little impatient: "The second young master will never look at me like this." As he spoke, he used more force in his hand and tied Song Zhuo to the tree.

"Haha! It's funny, he admitted that you were his minion that day, and if you want to kneel, you have to kneel, and then he is hard-mouthed. ”

Li Zheng was stunned, he didn't expect that Song Zhuo heard a joke downstairs that day, and he took it seriously, it was really stupid. But some thoughts flashed through his heart, and his mood suddenly became inexplicably irritable.

Li Zheng's tone gradually cooled down: "According to what you said, these guards of yours are all your dogs?"

Song Zhuo scolded Zai Xing, didn't notice the change in Li Zheng's tone, and continued: "Naturally, it's all right! I call it to the east, but they can't go west." People will explain at will, you will have to work here for a long time, and they have already gone away from Niu'er, obviously not caring about you at all, because he knows that dogs can smell and find their masters!" As he spoke, he made an inhaled expression, and then laughed, as if scolding quite happily.

Li Zheng stopped tying Song Zhuo's hand and slowly stood up with his knees propped up, Song Zhuo was quite surprised, raised his head, but was meeting Li Zheng's cold and awe-inspiring gaze.

"You ......" Song Zhuo was suddenly a little scared, but he couldn't speak.

Li Zheng sneered, and the short sword in his hand stabbed directly into Song Zhuo's heart. Song Zhuo's shocked expression froze on his face, blood spurted out of his mouth, but he couldn't say a word.

"So in the eyes of others, am I just one of his dogs?" Under the moonlight, a cold light flashed on the blade of the sword, and Li Zheng raised his head, with a puzzled and stunned expression on his face.
