Chapter 697 The crisis is coming
Li Hu is a hunter in the deep mountains. said that it was Orion, but in fact, what he did before was also those things that burned fire and robbed. It's just that when I'm old, I can't do it anymore, so I ambush in this mountain.
Even so, Li Hu still has a lot of careful thoughts in his heart: What if he can meet a fat sheep slaughtered in this mountain? After all, there is a royal palace on this mountain, and I heard that it is called a mountain villa. When you encounter a noble person traveling, you naturally don't dare to intercept it, but if you have that lonely palace maid and eunuch, you may be able to get a lot of good things.
With this in mind, he set up camp in the mountains, daydreaming almost every day. But Li Hu waited for a long time, not to mention any big fish, and he didn't even see a small shrimp.
Although in the past few days, nobles have moved in the villa, and there are often people who come to visit. But around these people, without exception, there are layers of guards guarding them, and if Li Hu wants to rob him, he is afraid that it will be very difficult. Just when Li Hu was disheartened, a good thing fell from the sky.
On this day, Li Hu was wandering in the mountains with nothing to do, as in the past. Suddenly, his eyes widened suddenly, and a slight look of wonder flashed in his eyes, which then turned into a deep joy.
ββIn the place where Li Hu could see the naked eye, there was a woman with a small hoe in her hand and a basket behind her back, walking slowly forward.
From Li Hu's point of view, although the clothes worn by this woman are very simple, they are good materials at first glance. Not to mention the golden hairpin she wore on her head, she knew it was worth a lot of money at a glance. What made him even more excited was that there was no one around this woman, and it was obvious that she came up alone.
Looking at such a scene, Li Hu's eyes widened with joy. Almost without hesitation, Li Hu quietly clenched the machete in his hand and headed in the direction of the woman.
This woman was no one else, it was Ning Rongzhi who came up the mountain alone in order to collect medicine for He Suoyi. Ning Rongzhi walked very slowly, stopping and stopping, his eyes glued to the ground under his feet, just hoping to find suitable medicinal materials. Therefore, she also ignored the movement around her.
This is convenient for Li Hu. Li Hu saw that the woman had no intention of observing the movements around her, and his heart was overjoyed, and he became more and more determined in his thoughts, holding the machete tightly in both hands, and walked forward.
By the time Ning Rongzhi reacted, a snow-white machete had already reached her white neck. The cold, unique to the sharp touch of metal made Ning Rongzhi's heart startled.
She was stiff, and she never thought that she was really really, and when she met a thief, she immediately regretted and panicked in her heart.
Ning Rongzhi took a deep breath, and then he barely calmed down. She trembled her voice and said slowly, "Strong, strong, what are you doing?" There is nothing that cannot be said. β
"Okay?" In order to avoid being discovered by Ning Rongzhi, Li Hu deliberately lowered his voice and made a vicious appearance, "Don't talk nonsense, hand over anything valuable to you, don't try to play any tricks." β
It turned out to be a robbery. After hearing this, Ning Rongzhi first breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, and then her heart tightened - she came out in a hurry today, and she didn't bring anything valuable, only the golden hairpin on her head, which was worth a few cents. But if this golden hairpin can't satisfy the thief......
Thinking of this, Ning Rongzhi hurriedly shook his head, not daring to think about it. She took a deep breath, trying to calm herself, and then looked into the distance, and said softly as much as possible not to make the thief angry.
"Strongman, I am a little maidservant in this villa, and I have nothing of value on me. The golden hairpin on this head is still worth some money, and if you are satisfied, take it. Ning Rongzhi's mind was racing, and he deliberately made a particularly cowardly and timid appearance, "The only thing the slave and maid ask for is that you must show mercy to your subordinates and let the slave and maid have a way out." β
After saying this, Ning Rongzhi stretched out his hand and pointed to the golden hairpin on his head, as if he was signaling for Li Hu to take it off by himself. Looking at the scene in front of him, Li Hu couldn't help but feel a little short of breath.
He never imagined that today would be so smooth. You know, since he got older, the benefits he made through robbers have become less and less. After all, although he was strong and strong when he was young, he just didn't spare people as the years, and he didn't have the strength to do it anymore.
Even when he robbed this woman just now, Li Hu had to start from behind, in order to take it by surprise. He also deliberately lowered his voice, just to make Ning Rongzhi feel that the person behind him was a young and strong thief, and he had less courage to resist.
I finally met such a delicate woman today, and Li Hu naturally wanted to squeeze all the benefits out of her. After he pulled out the golden hairpin, he was still not satisfied, and blackmailed again, and saw that there was really nothing to take away, so he gave up.
"Very good, your golden hairpin is in good condition, I think you must sell it at the pawnshop below, and you can sell it for a good price." Li Hu swept the golden hairpin in his hand, a satisfied smile appeared on his face, and immediately revealed a ruthless look, "Only dead people can not reveal any secrets, in order to protect my safety." I'm sorry, girl, but I can't leave you alive. β
After saying this, he didn't hesitate any longer, and immediately raised his machete and slashed towards Ning Rongzhi. Ning Rongzhi originally thought that he needed to break the fortune and eliminate the disaster, but he never thought that this was a ruthless character who killed people without blinking, and his eyes widened for a while.
Before she could react, the machete behind her back was already carrying the hunting wind and slashed towards her. Without thinking much about anything, Ning Rongzhi hurriedly hid to the side.
Although she blindly dodges, she is delicate and frail, how can she be the opponent of the thief in front of her? Not to mention, Li Hu succeeded in the robbery, and he knew in his heart that after letting this woman out, he was afraid that there would be endless troubles, and he had already started to kill, and it was even more difficult to deal with.
In this way, the two were entangled all the way. Seeing that Ning Rongzhi was in danger, he was in danger. At this critical moment, in the distance, there was a sudden sound of breaking the sky.
"Whoosh-" was the sound of a sharp arrow slashing through the air. Before Li Hu could react, a sharp arrow had already pierced his hand, staring at the hand holding the machete to the ground.
Ten fingers connected to the heart, such pain, naturally can be imagined. Li Hu was already a little old, and when he suddenly suffered such a blow, he immediately sweated like rain, and before he could react, he almost fainted in pain.
On the other side, Ning Rongzhi was out of danger. She took a deep breath and left the direction where Li Hu was, with a look of shock on her face.
It was only then that she took the time to look into the distance. I saw a team of people and horses hurrying up the mountain in the distance, led by a man who looked like an eagle and held a bow and arrow in his hand, and it was the one who had just shot Li Hu's hand on the ground and let Ning Rongzhi escape.
Ning Rongzhi recognized these individuals, they were the guards beside He Suoyi. Ning Rongzhi immediately realized that although she had just said that, He Suoyi was still worried about her safety, so he sent a group of guards to follow. Under such a mistake, it actually saved her life.
Realizing this, Ning Rongzhi's eyes couldn't help but moisten slightly. She muttered to herself and whispered, "Mother...... Thank you very much. If it weren't for you, the concubine would have died without a place to be buried. β
It turned out that not long after Ning Rongzhi left, He Suoyi suddenly felt a palpitation. Perhaps out of a wonderful sense, she always felt that Ning Rongzhi would definitely not be peaceful when he went to the mountains.
In order to avoid any accidents to Ning Rongzhi, without thinking too much, He Suoyi immediately called a few guards and went to the mountains to find Ning Rongzhi and take care of her safety. The guards listened to the order and hurried over, just in time for such a scene, and just happened to save Ning Rongzhi.
After this calculation, fortunately, He Suoyi was not relieved and sent guards to follow, and Ning Rongzhi escaped. At this time, Li Hu had lost his strength, and with the arrival of the guards, the crisis was resolved. Ning Rongzhi breathed a sigh of relief and leaned against a big rock, panting.
As soon as the guard at the head gave an order, several guards went forward and completely controlled Li Hu. On the other side, the guard also cautiously walked up to Ning Rongzhi and asked softly, "Ning Guiren, are you okay?"
"Noble?" Hearing this, Li Hu, who was still dying in pain on the side, had just woken up, but he couldn't wait to pass out again. He could never have imagined that his fate would be so miserable. I haven't been able to meet a pedestrian for ten days and half a month, and if I happen to meet it, it's still such a person who can't be provoked.
The older a person gets, the more he spares his life. Without thinking too much, Li Hu hurriedly endured the severe pain, got up, kept kowtowing to Ning Rongzhi, and begged for mercy: "Nobleman, noble, listen to the villain." Fang Cai is still a villain who has eyes and doesn't know Taishan, so he collided with you. I also hope that the noble man will not remember the villain and forgive the villain. Even if the villain is a cow or a horse, he must repay the noble man for your kindness. β
Looking at Li Hu's groveling appearance, and then thinking of all the things that happened just now, Ning Rongzhi just wanted to sneer. She carefully observed Li Hu's appearance, and saw that Li Hu looked a little old, and couldn't help but sigh.
"You don't look young, why do you have to do all this roadblocking?" Ning Rongzhi sighed, "When I pleaded with you just now, what did you say, think about it yourself." β
With Ning Rongzhi's words, Li Hu also began to recall the actions he had just made, and his face couldn't help but become gloomy. He knew that he was probably in danger of escaping today, so he lowered his head, and his face was a look of desolation.
