"Wait!" Bai Qian felt that her arm was being dragged by someone, and she couldn't take this step, and Ou Zhuzi's voice sounded behind her: "Listen!" What is this sound? ”

Bai Qian was stunned, retracted her feet, and listened intently. Sure enough, there was an intermittent shout in the distance, mixed with the roar of the wind in the wilderness, almost inaudible, if it wasn't for Ou Zhuzi to listen attentively, he would almost have missed it. Feng Lanzi and Luo Meizi both looked overjoyed, stood on tiptoe and looked around, only Jin Laotong squatted on the ground, scratching his head vigorously, scratching his white hair like a bird's nest, and kept muttering to himself: "Strange! Odd! ”

After a while, the cry gradually became clear and audible from far and near, and a familiar voice came from afar: "...... Don't hurt Miss Bai...... I'll ...... Come back...... "Everyone heard clearly, it was Chu Jiangqiu's voice.

Everyone in the circle was overjoyed, but Bai Qian covered her face with her hands, sobbing and crying, she had been holding out for a long time, and when she heard his voice at this time, she couldn't bear it anymore. This cry, like pear blossoms with rain, delicate and pitiful, just now all kinds of tastes, worry, fear, worry, reluctance, are vented in this cry. I don't know if it's for his safe return or his own escape from death.

Several people split through the wolves and soon came to the front of the ring of fire.

How many people? Feng Lanzi rubbed his eyes and counted carefully, one, two, three, four, yes, there are four people in total, no wonder Jin Laotong wants to say strange, it turns out that he has already heard it. In addition to Chu Jiangqiu, who was in the lead, there was also a broad-shouldered man, a pale-faced son, and the last one was unexpectedly Qiao Xihai, who had just abandoned them not long ago. The other two Feng Lanzi also knew it, not only did they know, but some of them had also dealt with each other a lot, and the person with a broad arm and a long body was Zhao Mengjue, with a pale face, and naturally he was the young master of the Sword Casting Villa, Xiao Xu. All four of them were carrying a large bundle of dry firewood on their backs, and all of them were wounded, and Qiao Xihai was particularly injured, his body was covered with blood, and he collapsed to the ground from exhaustion as soon as he entered the fire ring.

Four people came in at once, and the place couldn't stand anymore, but fortunately, there was a lot of firewood brought back this time, which was enough to use for a while. Everyone worked together to more than double the size of the circle, and the fire was raging again, and people could finally let go of their hanging hearts.

Since Qiao Xihai left everyone, he originally wanted to rely on his earth-shattering kung fu to kill all the way back to Xihai. At that time, Mo said that it was a few vicious wolves, that is, jackals, tigers and leopards coming together, what was he afraid of? It's not bad that he planned like this, but the wolf was more cunning than he thought, and he didn't get close to him, so he just blindly followed closely, taking turns to pursue, outflanking and intercepting, forcing him to leave the West Sea farther and farther away. Qiao Xihai killed dozens of wolves along the way, and his hands were soft, and in the panic, he lost his way, went around in a big circle, and returned to the same place, exhausted, and almost died in the Gobi. Fortunately, they met Chu Jiangqiu, who came out to collect firewood, and the two worked together, retreating while fighting, and on the way, they rescued Zhao Mengjue and Gongzi Xiaoxu, who happened to be also heading west, and then retreated back together. Who knew that this delay almost killed Bai Qian, but fortunately she didn't die, and there were a few more reinforcements. Qiao Xihai has a humble character, but his martial arts are high, with the addition of Zhao Mengjue, Gongzi Xiaoxu and others, if everyone can work together, the chance of escape will undoubtedly be greatly increased.

Not to mention how Chu Jiangqiu and Bai Qian hugged each other and celebrated, just Qiao Xihai, he looked at the intimacy between the two, and he was jealous and hateful in his heart, even worse than being bitten by a wolf. I knew that I was going to come back, I shouldn't have left them in the first place, but now not only was my character ruined, but I also had to be rescued by a post-born boy, and I suddenly felt ashamed and angry, so tasteless, I hated to cover my face with the sleeves of my robe, and sat alone to adjust my internal breath, bandage my wounds, and not say a word to others.

Since Zhao Mengjue came, his eyes have hardly left Chu Jiangqiu, looking up and down, left and right, with both suspicion and disbelief in his eyes, which is elusive. After a while, he finally couldn't help but arch his hand and said: "This little brother, thank you for coming to the rescue, but I don't know what to call it." ”

This remark was very modest, very different from his usual style, even Gongzi Xiaosu was a little unprepared, and only interjected after a while: "I'm afraid I don't know about the ranks, this is Zhao Mengjue Lord Zhao, who was originally the head of the military department in Beijing, and often walks around in front of the emperor, and now he is very important, and this time he came here on an errand by the emperor's order." ”

The ghost knows whether Xiao Su's words are true or false. Although Zhao Mengjue's martial arts are high, in the eyes of so many first- and second-grade adults in Beijing, he is just a small official who does not enter the stream, and he has worked hard for a few years, and he has not even been mixed with a waiter. Now it is the period of Ming Chongzhen, the court is worried about internal and external troubles, the Quartet is disturbed, Zhu Youzhen is panicked all day long, at a loss, either locking himself in the deep palace, or discussing with the cabinet ministers in the Qianqing Palace, it will not be his turn. In the past few years in Beijing, I have seen the emperor from afar two or three times, and I can't see clearly whether he is fat or thin. But to him, as if it was true, he suddenly felt that his image was half a foot taller, and he really needed everyone to bow and worship.

"It turned out to be an adult from Beijing, the old Qiao Xihai, fortunately." Qiao Xihai, who had been sitting in the back, said two words lukewarmly, but the rest of the people did not say a word, but there was no meaning of joy and awe. Zhao Mengjue snorted, his face darkened, and he glanced at Chu Jiangqiu.

Chu Jiangqiu understood, and said: "The cheap name is not enough to worry about, and it has not polluted the ears of adults, and it is satisfactory to discipline adults in the future." But today's plan requires everyone to work together and leave this ghost place first! ”

Xiao Su took over and said, "That's a good thing! Ahem, there are no reinforcements here, no water and rice, it is difficult to support for too long, once the firewood is exhausted, everyone will inevitably die in the wolf's belly. Ahem, Lord Zhao, according to the villain's opinion, take advantage of the large number of people, take care of each other, and rush out together! After speaking, he involuntarily glanced at Bai Qian, only to see that her face was happy, and she nodded lightly at herself, as if she had a sense of approval. Xiao Xu met her eyes, and hurriedly turned his head, feeling infinitely sweet, even Zhao Mengjue's long face seemed to have become funny.

Zhao Mengjue said coldly: "Take care of each other, to put it lightly, fight alone, I am not afraid, but thousands of beasts rush up together, and I am still too busy to take care of myself, where can I take care of others?" Unless......" said this, he didn't go any further, his eyes turned around everyone's faces, and he was silent.

Luo Meizi said anxiously: "Unless what? You just have to say it, and let's see if it's reasonable! ”

Zhao Mengjue pondered for a moment, raised his eyes, stared at Ou Zhuzi, Feng Lanzi, Luo Meizi and the others, and said clearly: "Unless the three of you and the woman are left behind, after we go out, we will find a way to save you!" ”

"Women can't stay!" Childe Xiaosu and Qiao Xihai both called out at the same time. Ou Zhuzi and the other three didn't expect this "unless", so they opened their mouths wide in shock, and they couldn't speak for a while.

"No one can stay!" Chu Jiangqiu shouted violently, as if a thunderbolt sounded in the air, and several wolves around were taken by this loud shout, and they raised their heads and howled a few times.

Ou Zhuzi and the others looked at Qiao Xihai, and then at Chu Jiangqiu, and thought at the same time in their hearts: "With this sentence, Brother Han's enmity can be regarded as exposed." ”

Zhao Mengjue glanced at Chu Jiangqiu and said in a deep voice: "You kid is just a reckless, what do you know?" Their martial arts are so poor, and they will die if they follow, and they will also bring us tired, so it is better to wait on the spot and wait for me to send troops to rescue. Hmph, no matter how you say it, I'm also a dignified military minister, and I have a lifelong friendship with Lord Wang Tiande, and I've always been the same, why can't you even believe my words? ”

Josie Hai was silent, thinking about how he would get out. Luo Meizi looked at him, angry, and then ignored their faces, and shouted: "Not bad! The official word has two mouths, and anything can be said, but I, Luo Laosi, am the first to believe it! Ou Zhuzi and Feng Lanzi said in unison: "That's a good thing! The three of them leaned side by side, hugged the weapons in their hands across their chests, and left Qiao Xihai far away, not looking at him again.

Seeing that the two groups of people were about to argue again, Chu Jiangqiu strode out at this time, picked up a small stick from the ground casually, and drew a few lines on the sand and gravel ground. Everyone didn't know what he was doing, so they swallowed the swear words in their mouths for the time being, and gathered to watch. Only Zhao Mengjue was disdainful, standing alone behind the crowd, to appear that the main man was arrogant and unpretentious, but his eyes still couldn't help but glance at the sand from time to time.
