Volume 2 Dynasty Chapter 126 Goodbye (I)
It is unrealistic to stay in a nunnery, to stay in a poor country.
I spent another night in a room full of snakes, insects, rats and ants.
Early the next morning, after Lu Xuan asked about the road, he said goodbye to all the teachers early.
The nunnery was still built in the territory of the city, and if you want to leave the poor country, you must pass through the city again.
This also means that there is a possibility that you may meet the disciples of the Five Doumi Sect on the way.
However, if you don't leave from Yucheng, then you need to take a detour through the poor mountains.
The dangers encountered in the mountains and wilderness may not be better than those of the Five Dou Rice Sect.
What's more, the disciples of the Five Doumi Sect already knew the true identity of Turbidity.
Maybe he's too busy catching Muddy Heart right now to take care of him.
With a plan in his heart, Lu Xuan didn't think about it anymore, just strode down the mountain.
A heavy rain a few days ago made the rotten air more and more humid, the muddy road was uneven, and the yellow leaves fell to the ground, mixed with silt and stained Lu Xuan's foot, and the walk was a little heavy, but he was able to continue walking.
Staying at the foot of the mountain, able to see the towering walls of the city, Lu Xuan stopped, leaned against a big tree, and scraped the mud at his feet with his branches.
Just when he felt much lighter and wanted to move on, he suddenly found that the gate of the city was actually closed, and a large number of refugees were blocking the gate, banging on the gate with all their might, and the cries and scolding were endless.
What's going on?
Could it be that the rebels are coming?
Lu Xuan's expression changed slightly, and he was about to go up to a few refugees to ask about the situation, but on the wall of the city, a group of soldiers wearing armor and holding curved bows appeared, led by a strong man with a dark face and a tiger's back.
He looked down at the people under the city wall and reprimanded angrily: "The official's spies have come to report that the vanguard of the rebels has already marched towards our city, maybe they will be mixed in with you, you should leave quickly, otherwise you will blame the official for not being close to people!" ”
The strong man obviously has some ability.
Even though there was a lot of noise under the city walls, his voice still reached the ears of every citizen.
The strong man's words confirmed the conjecture in Lu Xuan's heart, and at the same time, it also caused the people under the city wall to become more and more panicked, the rebels are coming, but they haven't had time to leave the poor country! At this time, if you turn back, you will encounter rebels on the middle of the road, so some of these people actually began to bang on the city gate.
There are a lot of refugees who have fled, and the black pressure is really making them take turns to hit the city gate, and they can really let them crash open.
After about half a burnt of incense, the city gate shook slightly, and the strong man on the city gate, seeing this, also lost patience, raised his left hand, waved it down, and said coldly: "Release the arrow!" ”
As soon as the strong man gave the order, the soldiers on the city wall did not dare to hesitate at all, only to hear the sound of "Xiu Xiu" feather arrows cutting through the air, and dozens of arrows fell towards the city wall.
"Murder! The officers and soldiers of the imperial court have killed! ”
"Run! Run, everybody! ”
“.......”
The number of feather arrows is not very large, but the refugees under the city wall are too dense, and immediately there are people with feather arrows in their bodies, crying out loudly in pain, and the rest of the people are even more startled, and before they can react, another rain of arrows falls.
Lu Xuan, who was looking at all this from afar, frowned slightly, he could see the power of the first wave of feather arrows, the soldiers used it very lightly, not so much shooting, but more like a warning, but the second wave of arrow rain was obviously aimed at their lives, and many of the people who were shot were pierced through the heads by the feather arrows, and immediately fell to the ground and whimpered.
The smell of blood diffused through the crowd.
The refugees didn't bother to bang on the city gate again, and turned around and ran into the mountains and forests behind them.
Panic and embarrassment are the appearance of them when they run for their lives.
But fear and helplessness are what really break them.
The crowd fled quickly, but the feathered arrows on the city wall did not stop, but this time the target was the group of refugees who ran at the front, and it could be seen that the strong man would rather kill by mistake than let go.
It seems that the only way to leave the poor country is to find a way out of the mountains.
Lu Xuan turned around and was about to leave, unwilling to watch this bloody scene again.
"Knock knock!"
The three loud drums were particularly clear in the fleeing crowd, and they also made Lu Xuan stop.
In the sound of drums, the rain of arrows that fell was much slower for some reason, leaving enough opportunities for the refugees to escape.
The one who beats the drum, looking at the back, should be a woman, and every time she beats, from the double-sided drum on her waist, a trace of black gas will seep out.
"Fetch the arrows!" The strong man looked at the woman under the city gate, overjoyed, and immediately asked his subordinates to take a black pear blossom bow.
Draw the bow and take the arrow.
The strong man's movements are done in one go.
The next moment, an arrow painted with white paint pierced the sky and galloped towards the woman's front door!
That arrow was different from the others, even if the speed was slowed down a lot, it still carried an unrivaled power, and it only took three breaths at most to take the life of the person who performed the spell in front of him.
One breath.
Two Interest.....
"Sister!"
The boy, who was fleeing for his life, shouted loudly when he saw that the arrow was about to pierce the woman's door, and he couldn't care about anything else, and quickly blocked in front of the woman.
Listening to the screams in his ears, the boy bit his pale lips tightly, and dense beads of sweat oozed from his forehead.
At this moment, there was a trace of remorse mixed with his fearful emotions.
He was regretting why he had to block the arrow.
But no matter how scared and regretful he was, he still didn't take half a step away.
Strangely, he waited for a long time, and he didn't wait for the pain he imagined.
His closed eyes opened slightly, and he saw a slightly familiar figure, holding the arrow covered in white paint in his raised left hand.
The drumming also stopped at this point.
"Let's go!"
He shouted.
The woman and the child were stunned, but ran away as he had said.
When he felt that they should have left the range of the arrows, Lu Xuan glanced fiercely at the strong man on the city wall, and stepped back.
When he almost retreated into the mountains and forests, Lu Xuan's nervous heart relaxed a little.
"Brother Lu."
The voice from behind him made Lu Xuan's movements pause slightly.
Even if it was a premonition.
Even if there is a guess in my heart.
Even if it's ...... He already knew.
But when he really saw the faces of those two people, the emotions in his heart still couldn't be described in words.
It felt like a sky shrouded in dark clouds, and a warm morning light shone in the darkness that had not dissipated for a long time.
Her eyes were covered with a white cloth, her black hair was tied with rope, and her face was deliberately covered with mud, but the joy and excitement in her eyes could not be concealed.
Lu Xuan's lips moved slightly, and he wanted to open his mouth to speak, but he was surprised to find that he couldn't make a sound.
He reached out and tried to caress the other's face.
But the action suddenly stopped.
Lu Xuan noticed that in the mountains and forests, in addition to the refugees who had just run in, there was also a group of people, although they were wearing coarse linen clothes, they were exceptionally clean from top to bottom, they were hiding behind trees, hiding behind stones, looking at him, as if smiling.
"Xi Kan - full of dangers."
"Let's go! Come on! ”
What was originally a thousand words turned into an urgent reminder.
