Chapter 51: The Unexpected

"Where are we going?" Meng Su trotted a few steps closer to Xiang Ye and asked as he walked side by side.

"Cross the river!" Xiang Ye didn't look back at Meng Su, his eyes kept on the riverbed of the Yellow River, he wanted to find a place where the current was gentle, and it was best to find a boat to take them to the other side of the river.

After walking two or three miles upstream, the river became narrower and narrower, and the water flow became more and more turbulent, Xiang Ye stood on the bank, looking at the surging river with a frown, and there was nothing he could do for a while.

"How do we get there when the current is fast and there are no ferries?" Meng Su stood behind Xiang Ye, looking at the river with some concern, the boiling river water was rushing and pouring downstream, very imposing, if this kind of scene was seen by the literati, there would definitely be a few more swan songs that have been passed down through the ages.

But Xiang Ye and Meng Su are not literati, and what they want to do most now is to cross the Yellow River as soon as possible and leave this place full of crises as soon as possible.

"I have a way to cross the river." Just as Xiang Ye and Meng Su were looking at the river and there was nothing to do, a person's voice came from behind them.

Xiang Ye frowned, and cursed secretly in his heart, the bank of the Yellow River seemed to have become a place where all the pursuers gathered, first Xin Nong came out and said something strange, and then Zhao Tong led the people to tie them up, which would be worrying about how to cross the river, and there were people behind him.

The two of them pressed their hands on the scabbard of their long swords, slowly turned around, and only let out a long sigh of relief when they saw the person walking behind them.

Li You's first swordsman, Li Feng, was dressed in white, with a smile on his face, and Shi Shiran walked towards Xiang Ye and them.

"The river is so narrow that there are no ferries at all." After approaching the two, Li Feng said to them: "From here, go up more than ten miles, the river is wider, and the current is gentle, I have seen a transition boat there, we can pass from there." ”

"Mr. Li, why are you here?" Meng Su was very surprised to see Li Feng, Li Feng was supposed to protect Li You in Xingyang, and she was very puzzled by appearing here.

"After the two of them left, the county keeper was always uneasy, so I followed me all the way. You two are really not simple, even the people of the Guan clan outside Guan dare to kill, hehe, and they killed Guan Yijian in such a cruel way, I am really worried about your future. ”

"Kanwai Guan?" Meng Su frowned and looked at Li Feng with some puzzlement, she had never heard of the existence of this force, and she was even more confused about Guan Yijian's background.

Li Feng glanced at Meng Su and said: "Last year, the Xiongnu Mao Dun Shan Yu ascended the throne, Mao Dun was extremely ambitious, and he coveted the Great Qin River and Mountain for a long time, in order to regain the large land lost in the hands of the Qin army, he sent a Xiongnu to change the surname of the Central Plains into Guanzhong, collect all kinds of information, in order to recover the territory in the future. After this Xiongnu entered the land of the Qin people, they were surnamed Guan, and their principal was named Guan Mu, a scimitar was superb, and countless Han swordsmen died under his sword, and Guan Yijian was Guan Mu's brother-in-law. Although the Huns are brave and savage, they attach great importance to blood. If the elder brother dies, the younger brother can marry the elder brother's woman back, and if the father dies, the son is likely to marry his own mother, and it is not uncommon for his biological brother and sister to marry. In order to ensure the purity of the bloodline, now that you have killed Guan Yijian, Guan Muding will not let you go easily, if you fight alone, I am afraid that only Gai Nie and Xin Nong can defeat him in the whole world! ”

"But why did they do it to Monsu?" After listening to Li Feng's introduction, Xiang Ye blurted out something that he himself felt very stupid.

"After Meng Sunai was the great general Meng Tian, General Meng Tian led 300,000 Qin armor, slaughtered countless Xiongnu warriors, and drove the Xiongnu all the way north for 700 miles. How did the Huns not hate him? Why don't you want his temple to be wiped out? Now that the Meng family is in trouble, and Zhao Gao is chasing after him, the Guan family thought of cutting off the head of the last member of the Meng family and taking it back to the north to pay tribute to the Hun soldiers who died under the iron hooves of the Qin army. Li Feng didn't think Xiang Ye's question was stupid, he patiently explained to Xiang Ye and then beckoned to the two and said, "Let's not delay here, hurry up and find a ferry to cross the river, I'm afraid there will be pursuers arriving later." ”

"Already." Xiang Ye smiled bitterly and said to Li Feng: "Xin Nong and Zhao Tong have both been here before, Xin Nong didn't make a move, and Zhao Tong has been beaten away by us, but General Xiang Liang's daughter-in-law was thrown into the Yellow River by him, I'm afraid it will be more than lucky." ”

"Ugh!" Li Feng frowned and said, "Xiang Liang has no children in his life, and he only has one daughter under his knees, and his daughter will not give up if she is thrown into the Yellow River." I'm afraid that this time the Chu army will speed up the pace of westward expansion, and Great Qin is in danger! ”

Xiang Ye nodded, Xiang Qing's death made him angry, especially when Zhao Tong still threw Xiang Qing and Xiang Tong into the Yellow River in front of him, which was an unbearable humiliation for him. Xiang Ye had secretly made up his mind that Zhao Tong would die, and he would inevitably die extremely miserable.

The servants walked all the way upstream along the riverbank, Xiang Ye and Meng Su walked side by side, and their eyes would be cast to the boiling river from time to time. Their mood was very low, and Xiang Qing was thrown into the Yellow River, leaving an indelible shadow on their hearts.

At the same time, Xiang Qing and Xiang Tong, who were lying on the stone, spit out a lot of water, Xiang Qing woke up leisurely, but Xiang Tong didn't know if it was because of ** or because he drank too much water, and he was still in a coma, but his breathing gradually became smoother.

Under the leadership of Li Feng, Xiang Ye and Meng Su walked three or four miles before they found a river with relatively gentle current, and the servants looked around, but they did not see any trace of a ferry on the shore.

Although the river here is gentle, but the rocks on both sides of the river are craggy, the water vapor on the river is quite large, looking around, the vision is the worst along the way, Xiang Ye is very suspicious how there can be a ferry boat to choose to ferry, in such a bad place.

Li Feng scratched his head, frowned and said, "Two days ago, I was here to see the transition ship, why is there no more now?" ”

As he spoke, he moved closer to Xiang Ye and Meng Su, and looked towards the riverbed.

"Be careful!" When Li Feng walked three or five steps away from Meng Su, Xiang Ye pounced violently and threw Meng Su aside.

At the same time as he pounced, Li Feng took out the short sword at his waist and stabbed straight into Meng Su's chest.

Meng Su was taken aback by Xiang Ye's pounce, and before she could come back to her senses, she had been pushed aside by Xiang Ye. And the short sword that Li Feng stabbed out pierced deep into Xiang Ye's chest.

Xiang Ye used a lot of force when he pounced, and Meng Su staggered back more than ten steps before he farted. He sat down on a rocky rock. The rocky stone slammed against her hips, making her feel like her sitting bones were about to split, and she grinned in pain.

But seeing that Xiang Ye was injured, she couldn't care about the fart. The pain came from his strands, and he pressed his hands on the rocks on the ground, jumped up, and rushed towards Li Feng.

Li Feng didn't stab Meng Su with a sword, he glared at Xiang Ye with hatred, the short sword was pulled out of Xiang Ye's chest violently, and stabbed at Xiang Ye again, and when he stabbed this sword, he also shouted loudly: "You can't kill Meng Su, you can avenge Guan Yijian!" ”

The sword just now stabbed Xiang Ye's right chest a little higher, and the second sword Li Feng stabbed at Xiang Ye's heart fiercely.

With a sword in his right chest, Xiang Ye had no ability to fight back, so he could only watch as Li Feng's sword pierced down towards his chest.

There was a crisp sound, and a silver long sword slashed in front of Xiang Ye, blocking Li Feng's sword that stabbed him in the chest, and then grabbed the neckline of the back of Xiang Ye's neck with one hand, and pulled him backwards, pulling him backwards and retreating.

Xiang Ye hurriedly took a few steps back, his legs weakened, and he fell to the ground with a bang.

"Why did you kill me?" The long sword in Meng Su's hand pointed straight at Li Feng, his eyes narrowed slightly, and his tone was full of puzzlement.

"Huh." The corners of Li Feng's mouth twitched, and he said to Meng Su: "It is inevitable that I will kill you, but the ridiculous Li You asked me to escort you out of Xingyang." Originally, I planned to get rid of Xiang Ye outside Xingyang City, and then find a chance to get rid of you, but I didn't expect that there was an accident that day, and Wang Li's dead soldiers came over for some reason, and they also made a move to prevent me from killing Xiang Ye. After Xiang Ye escaped, Guan Yijian and I killed those dead soldiers, so we thought of a way to put the cart before the horse, saying that they were assassins who wanted to assassinate you, haha, what's even more ridiculous is that Li You actually believed it! ”

"Why did you kill me?" The long sword in Meng Su's hand was still pointed at Li Feng, and he asked again in a cold tone.

Behind her, Xiang Ye lay on his back on the ground, his eyes closed, and his face was as pale as a white cloth.

Li Feng glanced behind Meng Su, the corners of his mouth twitched, and he said with some disdain: "I really doubt that you Qin people are really as smart as you often say. I already said just now that Wang Li's men were killed by me and Guan Yijian, don't you understand? My surname is Guan, and I am a Hun who entered Daqin on the order of the Great Hun Shan Yu, Li You would actually regard me, a person of unknown origin, as a confidant, and you have no precautions against me at all, if it weren't for underestimating Xiang Ye's determination to protect you, and his meticulous observation, I would have taken your life with that sword just now! ”

Speaking of this, Li Feng shook his head and sighed: "Alas, I originally just thought that killing you here would not be seen, and I would get out, but unfortunately I underestimated Xiang Ye." The water is foggy here, how can there be a ferry here? I guess that's what made him suspicious of me. ”

"Yes, he noticed the anomaly, that's why he threw me aside." Meng Su's beautiful face twitched slightly, a trace of resentment flashed in his eyes, and he said to Li Feng: "He received your sword for me, I must do something for him." You must die today, whether he will live or not, but you must die! ”
