After Xiang Ye buried Zhao Tong, he made a lot of dead leaves and dead branches piled on the pit, and lit a fire with a "click".

"Xiang Ye! You have a kind of sword to kill Lao Tzu! After the flames burned, Zhao Tong, who was pressed under the fire, howled again, he could feel the temperature of the flames, but because of the soil, his feeling was only that the soil on his body was a little warm but not very hot.

Zhao informed that when the fire was completely burned, the soil covering his body would be roasted, and he would also become a roasted person more thoroughly than Guan Yijian's roasting, and maybe he would be scorched on the outside and tender on the inside like Guan Yijian.

Xiang Ye ignored Zhao Tong, but beckoned to Jing Ao, turned over and jumped on the horse with Jing Ao, and rushed out of the woods.

All that remained in the woods was Zhao Tong's mournful howl and the "beep-beep" sound of the flames burning.

Out of the woods, Xiang Ye and Jing Ao looked at the raging fire from a distance, the two of them were flushed in the firelight, and Xiang Ye's face was full of cruelty, looking coldly at the burning woods.

Soon, the entire forest burned, and in the sound of "beep-beep" flames, Xiang Ye and Jing Ao heard a rapid sound of horses' hooves coming from the official road.

"Let's go, the pursuers are coming, get out of here!" Xiang Ye strangled Chi Ji and shouted at Jing Ao.

Jing Ao nodded in response, and followed Xiang Ye in the direction of Pengcheng.

About half a pillar of incense later, Xin Ling led five or six sword mound swordsmen to stand on the official road, their eyes converging on the burning woods.

Xin Ling's face was cold, he shook his head, didn't say anything, just pulled the reins, and shouted to the swordsmen behind him: "They haven't gone far yet, chase quickly!" ”

Two days later, in the town of Shaping, not far from Pengcheng, two men on horseback were strolling along the town's path.

"Jing Ao, what are you going to do?" Xiang Ye, who was riding on Chiji, turned his head sideways and glanced at Jing Ao on the side, as if unintentionally, and asked, "It's not suitable to kill the second world now, what do you want to do next?" ”

Jing Ao shook his head and said a little dazedly: "I don't know, I'm afraid that a swordsman like me is destined to be displaced all his life from the beginning of his birth, the world is so big, where is my home?" ”

"It's not that you don't have the conditions to stay, but that you don't want to stay from the bottom of your heart." Xiang Ye looked at Jing Ao and said, "With your ability, no matter which force you are attached to, you will be reused, but you have an insurmountable pride in your heart, the pride of a swordsman." You don't want to be dominated by anyone, you want to be free, you just want to live this kind of life of fighting the sword and doing your own thing. ”

Jing Ao was silent, although what Xiang Ye said was straightforward, it really spoke to his heart, he really didn't want to be attached to anyone, since Shizun taught him swordsmanship, he had been reluctant to do things for any powerful people, until the world was in turmoil, and many princes asked people to find him, but he still didn't promise anyone.

He has pride, the pride of a swordsman, and unlike those swordsmen in the sword shrine, his sword is only to cut down the injustices of the world, not to be able to gain fame for himself.

"Do it with me!" The two rode away side by side, and Xiang Ye said to Jing Ao: "I'm just a general now, but I believe that one day I can become a prince on the dominant side, you are a swordsman, but in the past few days I have regarded you as a brother, you have complete freedom with me, and no one will interfere with and restrict your freedom." ”

Jing Ao didn't speak, his eyes stared ahead, and in front of them, there was a blind old woman with a bamboo pole in her hand, and every step she took had to knock it on the ground, slowly rubbing towards them.

Seeing that Jing Ao didn't speak, Xiang Ye knew that it was not easy to persuade him, so he shook his head with a wry smile, and continued to walk forward with him.

The streets were quiet, and the doors of many of the houses were closed, and the two knew that there must be people living in these people's homes, but there was no second person in the whole street except the blind old woman.

Xiang Ye looked at the old woman from a distance, he always felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't tell what was wrong, he just frowned, and looked at the mother-in-law who was walking towards them without blinking.

The old woman was getting closer and closer to the two, although Jing Ao also felt that something was wrong, but he didn't pay much attention to her, just when she was only more than ten steps away from the two, Xiang Ye's eyes stayed on the old woman's feet.

"Get out of the way!" Before Jing Ao could come back to his senses, Xiang Ye, who was riding on Chiji's back, suddenly jumped up and overthrew him off the horse.

At the same time, the bamboo pole in the hands of the old woman who was moving towards them was horizontally raised, and one end of the bamboo pole was towards Jing Ao, and a light and shadow burst out of the bamboo pole.

Jing Ao, who was pushed away, avoided this light and shadow, but Xiang Ye was hit squarely.

The light and shadow hit Xiang Ye, and Xiang Ye fell to the ground. Jing Ao's eyes widened, and he looked at the small sword that pierced Xiang Ye's chest in astonishment.

The small sword was only more than an inch long, and the sword body was extremely thin and glowing with a faint blue light, which did not enter Xiang Ye's chest, and the stab was very deep, and blood was still flowing from the wound.

Xiang Ye's face was pale, lying on his back on the ground, his wheezing was also a little short, and he saw that the injury was not light.

The mother-in-law saw that the small sword that flew out stabbed Xiang Ye, a sneer hung on the corner of her mouth, and she took out a small sword from her waist that was exactly the same as the one that stabbed Xiang Ye and stuffed it into the bamboo pole.

As she was doing this, Jing Ao suddenly roared, drew his long sword and rushed towards her.

An arc-shaped sword shadow slashed across the old woman's neck with the wave of Jing Ao's arm, and when Jing Ao returned the sword into the sheath, the mother-in-law's eyes widened, with an incredible look, looking at Jing Ao in a daze, and after a while, her head fell off her neck, and her blood-spattered body fell down.

Jing Ao ran back to Xiang Ye's side, stretched out his hand to pick up Xiang Ye and shouted, "Xiang Ye, Xiang Ye, cheer up, I'll take you away immediately." ”

Xiang Ye opened his eyes slightly, his lips moved a few times with difficulty, and two words burst out of his lips: "Hurry up!" ”

Just after Xiang Ye said the words "go quickly", twenty or thirty people in black suddenly popped out of the street, these people in black stared at Jing Ao who was supporting Xiang Ye, and the leading man in black shouted at Jing Ao: "We just need to find him, and no one will retreat quickly, so as not to hurt his life!" ”

Jing Ao looked coldly at the black-clothed man in the lead, his eyes narrowed slightly, and said, "Yanyun Assassin!" If he hadn't saved me just now, I'm afraid you didn't say this to me at this moment, but to him, right? I must take him away today, and kill those who stand in my way! ”

"Then you can stay together!" The man in black in the lead also squinted his eyes, waved his hand, and shouted at the people in black behind him: "Kill the two together!" ”

When the man in black rushed over, Jing Ao didn't hesitate at all, put Xiang Ye on his back, jumped up in the air, and happened to jump onto Chiji's back.

It's strange to say, Chi Ji doesn't ride anyone except Xiang Ye on weekdays, this time Jing Ao jumped on his back with Xiang Ye on his back, but it was unusually well-behaved, let out a long hiss, spread its four hooves and rushed out towards the exit at the other end of the town.

Yanyun swordsmen have always been known for their speed, and after Chi Ji rushed out, many Yanyun assassins followed him and ran wildly.

However, after running for a while, they were stunned to find that they were not very hard to chase the war horses, and they were quickly thrown farther and farther away by the two of them, and finally they could only see a small red point of light.

After escaping from Shaping Town, Jing Ao kept calling Xiang Ye all the way, telling him not to fall asleep, and Chi Ji drove the two of them out for forty or fifty miles before gradually slowing down.

"Qingqing Zijin, relax my heart. Even if I don't go, Zining will not be an heir! Qingqingzi Pei, I think about it. Even if I don't go, Zining won't come! Picky and embarrassed, in the city. Not seen for a day, like March! Jing Ao dragged Xiang Ye off the horse, and just as he lay him down, there was a burst of singing on the path.

He looked back at the place where the singing was sounding, and saw a young man carrying a burden, followed by two young children, a man and a woman, approaching them.

As soon as he saw someone coming, Jing Ao hurriedly greeted him, bowed to the young man and said, "Dare to ask sir, is there a doctor around here?" My brother is seriously injured, and if he is not treated, I am afraid that he will die of his injuries! ”

After listening to Jing Ao's words, the young man hesitated for a moment, glanced at the two children, and then said to Jing Ao: "Here in the mountains and mountains, where to find the doctor, I have some herbs here, why don't you take Mr. Yu first, and stop the bleeding for your friend." ”

Jing Ao heard that there were herbs that could stop the bleeding, so he nodded again and again, but then said with a sad face: "Although I can use herbs in the next place, I have no utensils, and I hope that Mr. will help me think of a way." ”

The young man frowned, waved his hand at Jing Ao and said, "Okay, take me to see it first." ”

When Jing Ao led the young man and the two children to Xiang Ye, who had already passed out, the little boy shouted at the young man in surprise, "Daddy, isn't this Engong?" ”

After the little boy shouted, the little girl on the side also looked at Xiang Ye lying on the ground in surprise, and a pair of small hands pulled the young man's trouser leg and shouted to him: "Daddy, save him!" ”

The young man looked at Xiang Ye's pale face in astonishment, and sighed helplessly: "Engong, Engong, you obviously want me Han Xian to be difficult to live a free life, if I save you today, I'm afraid trouble will follow one after another!" ”

As soon as he heard that Han Xian could save Xiang Ye, and it seemed that Xiang Ye had been kind to him before, Jing Ao's face was suddenly full of joy, and he hurriedly bowed down to Han Xian and said, "Sir, please save General Xiang, if Mr. is willing to save General Xiang, I, Jing Ao, will repay him in the future!" ”

Han Xian smiled bitterly and said to Jing Ao: "Sir is too polite, General Xiang was kind to me earlier, how can I know if I don't repay the kindness, Mr. and wait on the side, I'll examine the wound first!" ”
