Chapter 11: Assassination

The grass spits tender shoots, and the green willows follow the wind. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

The spring breeze blew with a slight chill.

On the wide road, riding a horse galloping, Duguying always felt a little cold unconsciously.

The darkness before dawn is the darkest, and the cold of winter and spring may be the same.

The red fire horse, red as fire, whirring and wheezing, as if the flame sneezed, oozing dense sweat, sticking to the fiery red fur, the dew of early spring, and the mark of blood.

The wild man, the joy in the silence, the smile on his face, the sound of the horse's hooves, played the bold music of the men.

Living, as long as you live, is better than anything else, parents, wives, children, there is always something to rely on. If people don't want anything for themselves, even if it's not good, it won't be bad, and if they lose themselves, they will always be just the pain of death, but if they lose their relatives and others, they will undoubtedly be bad, and they can't be blind when they die.

Death is a very bad thing, and there is still suffering when you die, and no one knows how much pain it should be, but it is much more painful than death.

"Ying'er, be careful on the road and pay more attention to your surroundings. Dugu Bai said cautiously

"Well, you can't be careless, if the enemy is really bright, it is not terrible to intercept and kill, but what is terrible is that the enemy does not intercept and kill, assassination. Dugu Liang said

"Ying'er, if something really happens, it's important to save your life, and you can't be defeated. Dugu Bai's eyes flashed with worry, and he said seriously.

"Well, uncle, second uncle, Ying'er understands that when you encounter danger, you must put safety first and never get involved in danger. Duguying said seriously.

Life is the most important thing for a careerist, and Duguying doesn't want to experience the matter of "dying before leaving the school".

I can't make my own decisions about the things that are in danger, and Duguying has no choice, but fortunately, the harvest of Xuancheng and his party is right, and they are right to risk their lives.

Ordinary people only know that it is difficult to find a confidant in life, but few people know that loyal people are even more difficult to find.

But let these go for the time being, the immediate priority is to return to the castle of Dugu's family safely. The path of silence is often more scary than noisy, because you don't know what will happen in the next moment.

Maybe everything is going well, the so-called worry is just superfluous, maybe the storm is accumulating ahead, waiting to gather momentum and take everyone's lives, maybe, maybe, there are many, many kinds of maybes, three hundred miles away, there is always the possibility of martial arts.

But for Duguying and others, there are only two situations in total, good or bad.

After two hours of running, the sky gradually darkened, and the journey home was only a hundred miles left.

The vigilance all the way, the safety all the way, always makes people a little proud, a little careless, two hundred miles of wild running, the cool evening breeze in early spring, fermented a heavy laxity.

Looking at the brave and strong men, their spirits were sluggish, and some of them were almost lying on their horses, Duguying's heart slammed down, and a chill flowed from head to foot, which was worse than the chill of the three or nine days.

"What should I do, what should I do?" Dugu Ying thought anxiously in her heart, if she personally warned the strong man behind her, nearly a hundred war horses galloped and her voice could not be transmitted, and how far it would be transmitted;

If you are a child, even if you have the identity of a young master, several people will listen to you;

The people behind him listened to their own words, cheered up, there was an enemy interception in front of them, broke through, and returned home safely, what should the three uncles think.

A ten-year-old child knows how to give orders in front of his elders, seize the rights of his elders, lower the prestige of his elders, and tear the skin of his elders. returned home safely, everything before was lost, and there was a gap with the three uncles, even with the protection of grandpa, there will be a few steps in Dugu's house.

Remind the man behind him that he can't relax about things, and it will definitely not work to say it himself, and he can only say it through the mouths of three uncles. However, when saying such things, it is better to be tactful in a heart-to-heart way, otherwise it will not be beautiful for others to listen to it and spread it. After thinking about it, Dugu Ying tightened the reins in her hand, rushed to Dugu Bai and said

"Uncle, when we went to the county town, we just walked for more than two hours and encountered the enemy, will the enemy's lair be nearby? Duguying smiled and asked.

"Probably!" Dugu Bai glanced deeply at Dugu Ying and said, the mountain bandit team intercepted on the way to the road was pretended to be a bad family, of course Dugu Bai knew, and Dugu Ying also knew.

Dugu Ying suddenly asked what was the purpose of such words, of course Dugu Bai understood that the power has been in place for a long time, and the calculations of the people's hearts are between words.

"If you don't want to die, cheer me up, and when you get home, don't let people cut off their heads. My own affairs, my own family understands, I don't say much, don't lose your parents, wife and children because of the laziness of stealing. Taking a deep breath, Dugu Baima turned around halfway and shouted loudly, and the horse team of 100 people had a strong voice all over the place.

Halfway through the words, the brave man who immediately squinted his eyes widened in surprise, you look at me, I look at you, and a touch of jealousy spread out like a word. Then he shook his shoulders and lifted his chest, he was fully prepared, and he was three points more serious than when he left Xuancheng before.

Rushing and hurrying, time has passed a cup of tea.

A flood of horses, the dust and waves rolled, treading the dust away. The spear is sharp, scattering sharp waves.

At this moment, a hundred paces ahead of the horse team, a figure suddenly walked out, gradually becoming clearer. A rickety old body, with a forked cane on its head, squirming with difficulty.

The rickety body is too old, the cane is even older, the traces of decay and looseness can be clearly seen from a hundred steps away, every step is raised, it seems to be scattered, but it lacks a breath, hooks people's hearts, and makes people not worry about it.

Walking one step, it takes ten steps, and it can be a half-step distance, and such a walk can only be described as squirming.

In the blink of an eye, the horse team rushed to the old man's side ten paces away, slowed down, sideways the distance of two people, Dugu Bai under the red fire horse, a leap, about to skip.

Suddenly, the old man's hand was a flying point. The old man's speed was too fast, and the remnants of the Li staff flew around, only to see the red fire horse, roaring violently, and booming, kicking up the dust on the ground.

Before the dust rose, the old man's Li staff took it towards Dugu Liang again, but this time it was directly aimed at Dugu Ying's head, killing with intent, and he shuddered.

The kiss of death, the horror of the heart, the fear that is too fast to escape, the body is stiff and soft, like a piece of rotten wood, and the breeze is about to turn into the dust of the world.

Death has never been so terrible in Duguying's heart, and Duguying never thought that he would die so early, such a helpless death, powerless, gently Duguying closed his eyes, and a faint tear flowed out, ready to end this helplessness in another life.

Suddenly--

Between the lightning and flint, a snow-bright three-foot Qingfeng stabbed out, and the sound of the bang just caught the Li staff.

The rickety old man missed a move, and surprise flashed in his eyes, but the Li staff in his hand did not stop for a moment, slashing along the body of the snowy sword, and killed the owner of the long sword.

The owner of the long sword is also an old man, an old man with a very heavy yin qi on his face, and at a glance, everyone can only remember the old man with the word yin qi, because under such a heavy yin qi, everything else is too bleak, even if it is a peerless appearance.

"Such a countenance, is it caused by killing tens of thousands of people, or is it caused by special exercises. Duguying thought secretly in her heart.

At this time, the Yin Qi Old Man on the field shook his long sword, and he had already defused the attack of the rickety old man. There is no advantage in attacking and dissolving the rickety old man, it is when the yin qi old man attacks, the long sword Huo Huo, one after another sword light flew out, like light like a blade, like electricity like fog, tightly sticking to the life of the rickety old man.

"Ahh

With a strange cry of pain, the rickety old man was extremely fast, dodging three sword lights, blocking the three lights, but he was pierced through his abdomen by the last light, and blood flowed out.

"You are in the middle of the transformation, in the middle of the transformation, the true depth of the Dugu family can be hidden. The rickety old man said resentfully, and Li Zhu turned to his head and nodded.

"Zheng" There was a buzzing sound, and the staff was less than an inch away from his head, and was slashed out by the long sword.

"Hahaha, the cultivation is high, but the scheming is still lower. The cane flew out, and the suicide failed, but the rickety old man laughed loudly.

Doubts flashed in Dugu Ying's heart, his eyes searched carefully, and the old man pressed his left hand on his abdomen, and the blood was dark.

The word "poison" flashed out of his head with a bang, and Dugu Ying looked at the old man with yin qi, who was looking at the drops of black blood that were falling, and obviously discovered the secret of the rickety old man committing suicide with poison.

Glancing lightly at the black bloodstains, the old man of Yin Qi seemed to have expected everything, and he didn't seem to care, his eyes drifted by, and the long sword flew back with a 'whoosh' in the distance, the sword body was bright and dazzling, but it was the long sword that flew back.

Flying back, it is not amazing to put it on the body of a person or an animal, but on top of a weapon, on the dead matter that people instinctively think, spirituality, surprise, fear, flashed in their hearts, and everyone's eyes were attracted, intoxicated by the admiration of immortals, the scorching passion of pursuing martial arts, the greed of ambition, the eyes of convergence, some complex, and new fears.

Coveting other people's things always makes people feel weak, and the other party is a strong man, the old rickety figure is still in front of him, the resentful gaze has not yet dispersed, and the dripping blood has the call of hell.

At this moment, the old man spoke, speaking lightly, with a slight coldness, or a slight coldness, and said, "If you die, you will! Don't let the general wait." ”

Before the words were finished, a wisp of green smoke suddenly flew into the night sky, and the blood of the rickety old man was dripping, and the old man of yin qi had gone far away, without a trace.

The gray night sky was silent, and all that was left was the faint sound of the wind.
