Chapter 176: Sanqi
She ...... She shouldn't be able to hear this...... Ahem...... It's quiet......"
After a few breaths, the shouts of the bilge and the sound of the soldiers fighting were already faintly audible, and a woman's voice came from the side of Gude, as thin as a gnat, but it was clear to the ear.
He looked back at the person who had come.
I don't know when, there was a gray and simple figure in the cabin, but it was a middle-aged woman about forty years old, dressed in a Taoist robe, with a very long iron hairpin in the bun, and a double sword around her waist.
Strangely, the two swords were placed side by side on the waist, not one on the left and one on the left like ordinary two-handed swordsmen, and there was no scabbard on the sword, and the bare iron sword was dark and dull, and it was not a sharp weapon.
The woman seemed to be injured, coughed low from time to time, her face was quite haggard, her forehead and the corners of her eyes were covered with wrinkles, only when you looked closely, you could vaguely see the beauty between her eyebrows, and she was also a beauty when she was young.
Gude seemed to be quite respectful to her, and as soon as she appeared, he immediately arched his hand and said, "Woman......"
"Sanqi...... Ahem......" The woman interrupted him and coughed twice as she spoke: "Call me...... Thirty-seven is. ”
Gasping for breath and saying this, the woman who called herself Sanqi again held the sword trick in her hand, put it on her chest, and made a strange and solemn swordsman's salute, and said:
"Thank you...... Thank you, Major General, for letting me ...... Grace ......, save lives...... Grace ......"
Goode hurriedly turned sideways, only accepted her half a salute, and his eyes were fixed on her face for a moment, and there was a faint light surging in his eyes:
"So, Sanqi, the thing you told me earlier...... That transaction, did it really count? ”
Sanqi coughed for a while, raised his head and looked at him.
Although it is described as withered, the woman's eyes are as calm as the deep sea, and the essence in her eyes conveys a sense of perseverance and slaughter, just like the sword beside her, simple and straight, as if she has the bearing of a grandmaster:
"The heart is fixed in one thought, and it is not general...... then delusional. I'm the Qingshan Sword Sect, from ...... Never a lie. ”
After speaking, Sanqi lowered his head and coughed again, and his body shook a few times.
Seeing this, Ali on the side hurriedly took a few steps forward and held her arm diligently, serving very well.
After the woman stood firm, she took out a celadon bottle from her sleeve, uncorked the bottle, and raised her head to drink the Chinese herbal soup in one gulp.
A chilling chill diffused from her mouth and nose, and Ali couldn't help but shiver.
Gude was in ecstasy in his heart at this time, and his face was still calm, and when the woman drank the medicinal soup, he said solemnly:
"Good. Then you will have Lao Sanqi by my side to support you, and when the three-year period expires, you can go by yourself. ”
Sanqi coughed and said "no", then walked to the side and sat down, closed his eyes and breathed.
Good's gaze flickered over her, and then looked to the side again.
Sanqi is the glimmer of life he got tonight.
This woman and another female swordsman of the mountain villa pretended to be a female slave, lurked in the place where the guests of the mansion feasted, and stabbed His Royal Highness the prince with the blue pupil black witch.
It's just that these two female swordsmen didn't fight to the death, but saw that the situation was not good, turned around and fled for their lives, but in the end, only Sanqi survived.
It was Gud who saved her.
At that time, Gude was pretending to be a woman, hiding in the bilge and not daring to come out, but he didn't want Sanqi to run away here. She was seriously injured at the time, and she also knew that Goode was pretending to be a personal guard, so she did not kill him, but made a deal with him.
As Gude said before, the people of Tibetan Sword Villa really like to trade with people, and the content of Sanqi's transaction with him is:
Goode concealed that she had escaped from the lodge and provided her with a place to recuperate from her injuries;
And Sanqi will secretly protect Gude and protect his life for three years.
Goode responded on the spot.
Tonight's events made him extremely wary of the Hidden Sword Villa. Because in the transaction with Wang Kuang, the other party did not leave him a way out.
According to Sanqi, they were a group of eight, and they should have advanced and retreated together, but it wasn't until the moment she started that she found that in addition to the two of her, the other six people had not been on the boat at all, obviously treating her two as outcasts. This is also the reason why Sanqi decided to betray the villa.
As for Gude, the reason why he was able to survive was because he had prepared in advance.
He had Ali get a dozen sets of priestesses' dresses and wigs, and hid a few in each cabin.
It's a stupid idea, and it even seems a little stupid, but sometimes, the more stupid the method, the more it can hide from everyone.
It's just a dozen sets of clothes, it's really too inconspicuous, even if Wang Kuang and others know, they will only think it's ridiculous.
As early as when the fire broke out in Youguanfang, Goode changed into women's clothes in advance, put on a hood, and sneaked into the bilge from behind the screen.
In this matter, he did not tell Wei Shu the truth.
It was with this outfit that Gude escaped the slaughter of the dragon guard, and easily saved Sanqi, and then quietly returned to the cabin on the second floor with her.
After all, he has fought a few battles and read a few military books, and the major general used the virtual and real way to escape for his life, and it was also effective. Although the whole process was very embarrassing, and his leg was injured when he jumped off the gangway, the result was very good.
Later, Sanqi explained to Gude that she was a true disciple of the Qingshan Sword Sect that had long been lost in the rivers and lakes, and she had learned a special technique, which could hide her own breath, so even a first-class master could hide it, and she could completely protect him under the noses of everyone in the villa.
Gude first didn't believe it, but now he does.
Aqisi never found out about the existence of Sanqi, otherwise she would have used it as a threat to make other demands.
While thinking in his heart, Gude pulled out a long knife and counted silently in his heart.
"After forty breaths, listen to my orders."
This was Akith's advice before leaving.
Then she stepped heavily on the plank, and actually stepped out of the board of the boat, and she plunged into the hole, followed by a series of "thump" sounds, and I don't know how many layers of the plank she had broken.
And right now, she is obviously fighting with the prince dragon armor guard, although Gude has no martial arts hearing, but can also hear the movement from below, especially the loud and crisp woman's voice, sometimes in the Central Plains dialect to yell a voice "golden dog", "dog thief", "kill the prince" and other nonsense, it is really a spring thunder on the tongue, the sound vibrates the world, even if a deaf person is here, he must be shocked by this sound.
"She's hurt a lot."
Sanqi's voice came suddenly, Gude was taken aback, and when he looked back, he saw a gray shadow already standing two steps behind him, but he didn't hear the footsteps at all.
Sanqi nodded to him and took another half step forward, the two of them getting closer and closer, and their breathing could be heard.
However, Gude only heard the sound of his own breathing, and if Sanqi hadn't been standing in front of him, he would have thought that there was no one in front of him.
