Xiao Zeran came to the front and slashed it with a knife, the bandit leader saw that it was not good and hurriedly resisted, and then was shocked a few meters away, his hands trembled slightly, his brows were slightly wrinkled, he felt that he was not Xiao Zeran's opponent, and jumped towards the woods, fleeing frantically.

Xiao Zeran didn't chase after him, but turned around and walked towards the horse.

The woman also inserted the sword back into the scabbard, and then looked at Xiao Zeran and just wanted to thank her, but looking at the scar and stubble on Xiao Zeran's face that were not completely blocked by the hat, she fell into deep thought, as if there was such a person in her heart who was very similar to the man in front of her, and then moved her eyes to Xiao Zeran's scabbard, and finally showed an expression of disbelief, and even tears in her eyes, her eyes gradually became red, and a kind of admiration and sadness came to her heart, and her voice was hoarse and choked.

"Xiao ...... Is Xiao Zeran you? ”

Xiao Zeran paused, his hand suddenly grasped the scabbard tightly, but he didn't turn back to pay attention to the woman, but rode off the horse and rode into the distance, and the man in black behind him also followed.

Just because Xiao Zeran's pause just now made the woman more certain, so she jumped in front of Xiao Zeran and blocked the way.

Xiao Zeran pulled suddenly, let the horse stop, looked at the woman in front of him and did not speak, but drove the horse past the woman, but was still stopped by the woman.

The woman asked with anger in her eyes and a trembling voice.

"Why! You're still alive, why don't you come to me! Why the hell! ”

"You know I heard that you died on the battlefield, do you know how desperate I was at the time? I can't accept it, I don't believe that you will die, I took people to set off to the battlefield overnight, I searched for days in the sea of corpses, but I couldn't find your body, I firmly believe that you are not dead. ”

"When I heard that you had joined the Shadow Stream, my first reaction was not your betrayal, but that you were still alive, and I was happy to go to the battlefield to kill the enemy, and I waited for you to come back every day and tell me that you were not dead! But you didn't come, and I began to suspect that he wasn't you! ”

Xiao Zeran held the scabbard tightly in his hand, and finally chose to speak.

"Your Royal Highness Princess, if you bring your emotions to the battlefield, you will harm yourself and your brothers behind you!"

The woman's name is Tao Shahui, and she is also the third princess, and the only princess who went to the battlefield as an adult.

When Tao Shahui went out of the palace to hunt alone, Ben was elated all the way, and suddenly met bandits, because the bandits were numerous, Tao Shahui was invincible and fled all the way, and the bandits also chased all the way, but fortunately, in the process of escaping, he met Xiao Zeran, who was still practicing hard in the woods.

Xiao Zeran also noticed that Tao Shahui was being chased, but he didn't know that the person chasing Tao Shahui was a bandit, because Xiao Zeran was young and arrogant, so he decisively came to the rescue, but because he was young and not very proficient in knife skills, there were many bandits, and he was slashed in the face by the bandits, and the blood flowed, but Xiao Zeran didn't cry, not even a scream of pain, but stood firmly in front of Tao Shahui, so there was this long scar, and it was fortunate that Xiao Zeran's master was not far away, and it was Xiao Zeran's master who shot in time. Otherwise, Xiao Zeran and Tao Shahui would have died at the hands of the bandits.

At that time, it was also the first time that Tao Shahui saw human blood and the shocking knife marks on Xiao Zeran's face, so the whole person was scared stupid, and his eyes were suddenly blank, and the whole person was trembling with fright.

Even if you have received this kind of education since childhood, after all, education is not practiced, so it will still make people panic.

Xiao Zeran wiped the blood on his face with his sleeve, and the painful Xiao Zeran grinned, but he didn't say a word, after all, in front of the woman, he still had to maintain the principle of a man bleeding without tears, and also asked Tao Shahui if there was anything wrong.

Tao Shahui just shook his head, looked at the knife wound on Xiao Zeran's face with a guilty face, and even tears flowed out, took out a bag of silver taels from his pocket and handed it to Xiao Zeran, and after thanking him with tears, he then ran into the distance.

After Xiao Zeran saw Tao Shahui leave, he opened the bag and found that there were a lot of silver taels, and he was also jumping on the spot happily, but Xiao Zeran's smile also drove the pain of the wound, and his whole body twitched.

"Master, that woman is so generous, give us so many silver taels, this is enough to buy my life!"

Xiao Zeran's master didn't have any expression on his face, even if Xiao Zeran had a shocking knife wound on his face, the master didn't show any distress, but gave Xiao Zeran a big chestnut fiercely.

"It's all injured like this, and I still have the heart to joke, go back and bandage it with you for the teacher!"

Xiao Zeran nodded and smiled lightly, not daring to laugh too much, because the wound was too painful, and followed the master to the residence.

A few years have passed, Tao Shahui has also become an adult, and began to recruit troops to prepare for the battlefield, Xiao Zeran also rushed to this point in time, came to the recruitment office to prepare to join the army, but because the scar on his face was too shocking, he could not join the army, Xiao Zeran worked hard, but was still rejected to join the army, and he could only prepare to leave with a lost face.

Since Tao Shahui happened to be here, he also heard the conversation here, and also thought of the little boy who risked his life to save him, so he stopped Xiao Zeran.

Xiao Zeran also looked back at Tao Shahui, glanced at Tao Shahui's dress, dressed in armor and holding a sword, and knew that he was a big man.

In the end, I also learned from Xiao Zeran's mouth that the man in front of him was the little boy who risked his life to save himself, and he also proposed a competition, as long as he could win, he could agree to Xiao Zeran to join the army, Xiao Zeran also agreed, the two had a huge disparity in strength, and finally Xiao Zeran won the victory, because Xiao Zeran's strength was recognized by Tao Shahui, and Xiao Zeran was ordered to be the general and follow Tao Shahui to go on the expedition.

But there are also people who strongly oppose it, and do not recognize that Xiao Zeran has the ability to lead troops to fight when he first arrives, Tao Shahui did not say anything, but patted Xiao Zeran on the shoulder.

Then Xiao Zeran also performed exceptionally well under Tao Shahui's hands, conquering people who had opinions about becoming a general, and he could easily win every war, so Tao Shahui also began to trust Xiao Zeran extraordinarily, and also relied on Xiao Zeran extraordinarily, and the two of them would protect Tao Shahui while facing the enemy every time they went to Xiao Zeran, so that Tao Shahui had a special sense of security, and he could return triumphantly every time.

But Tao Shahui's sudden miscalculation caused Xiao Zeran to be ambushed by the enemy, and he never returned, Tao Shahui was anxious in the military camp, walking around, and suddenly a soldier hurriedly ran over, and said a word that made Tao Shahui completely collapse in an instant, that is, the army led by Xiao Zeran was completely annihilated.

Tao Shahui didn't care so much, rode a horse and took the army to run in the direction of Xiao Zeran to support, but after all, it was too late, there were already corpses everywhere here, there were enemy soldiers and friendly troops, no life was left, Tao Shahui jumped off the horse and hugged his head and knelt on the ground and cried bitterly, after a while, the army was organized to find Xiao Zeran's body in tens of thousands of corpses, and he also searched for many days and nights, but he still couldn't find Xiao Zeran's body, all the soldiers were tired enough, and even starved to death, Tao Shahui's whole body seemed to have collapsed, he was weak, and he collapsed to the ground, looked at the sky in despair, closed his eyes, and was finally pulled back by the soldiers, otherwise Tao Shahui would have starved to death on the battlefield.

Tao Shahui listened to this familiar voice, and instantly tears couldn't help but flow, her whole body was twitching, and her voice was crying.

"You also know that it's not good to bring emotions to the battlefield, so why don't you come to me if you're still alive!"

Xiao Zeran looked at Tao Shahui like this, and his heart was also very uncomfortable and complicated, but there was nothing he could do, because he couldn't go back, he just wanted to break off this relationship quickly, and he didn't want to cause Tao Shahui to bring emotions to the battlefield because of himself.

Xiao Zeran was very entangled in his heart, and finally chose to jump off the horse, kneel down on one knee, and clench his fists.

"Your Royal Highness Princess, your General Xiao Zeran has died on the battlefield, I hope you can be relieved, now standing in front of you is the Shadow Gold Medal Killer Xiao Zeran, to Her Royal Highness the Princess, take care of yourself in the future, forget about your subordinates!" After all, I can't go back, and I don't want to be the general who killed the enemy on the battlefield again! The subordinates have retired! ”

Xiao Zeran stood up, jumped on his horse, and quickly whipped away into the distance.

Tao Shahui didn't stop it, but turned to look at the back of Xiao Zeran leaving, and was silent for a long time, he had a lot to say to Xiao Zeran, but he couldn't say it in an instant, and his heart became complicated, and he muttered in a choked voice.

"It's good you're still alive!"

Tao Shahui showed a relieved smile, but it was only a superficial relief, but the heart could not let go, staggered to the horse and sat up, and walked forward with the horse, Tao Shahui seemed to be weak, sitting on the horse and swaying, as if it was possible to fall down anytime and anywhere, and the people who followed behind looked at Tao Shahui with a nervous face, and were afraid that Tao Shahui would suddenly fall off the horse.

Seeing Tao Shahui like this all the way, the people behind him were also full of distress, as if the girl who was lively and cheerful just now became less lively in an instant.

Sa Ze and Ke Yan stood on a tree in the distance, watching all of this in their eyes, seeing that they had all left, and they also jumped from the tree.

"Xiao Zeran actually has a weakness, Ke Yan, you said that if we kidnap Princess Tao Shahui, will Xiao Zeran risk death to save him!"

"I think we can give it a try, so Shadow Stream will lose a gold killer! What do you think? ”

Ke Yan hurriedly shook his head, and even swallowed a mouthful of saliva, his eyes were erratic, he was really worried that Sa Ze would do this.

"Son, if you kidnap Princess Tao Shahui, I don't know if Xiao Zeran will risk his life to save him, I only know that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will definitely pick our skin! Don't risk it! After all, it's okay to offend anyone, but it's absolutely impossible to offend His Royal Highness the Prince! ”

Sa Ze patted Ke Yan's shoulder, looked at Ke Yan's expression, and sneered.

"No, it won't! Are you afraid of death? ”

Ke Yan also said with a firm face.

"Childe, I'm not afraid of death, I can do anything risky for Childe, but this matter, after all, Childe will also be implicated, so I'm worried about you, Childe!"

Sa Ze leaned on Ke Yan's shoulder.

"That's it! I'm just joking, look at what makes you nervous, I have no grievances with Princess Tao Shahui, and I definitely won't hurt the innocent! ”

Ke Yan also breathed a sigh of relief and smiled.

"Then should we continue to follow Xiao Zeran now, or go back!"

Sazawa touched his cheeks, thought about it, and sighed.

"Today was supposed to be the best time to get rid of Xiao Zeran, but when I think that Xiao Zeran is dead, Miss Cai will definitely be very sad, and when I think that Miss Cai will be sad, I don't want to kill Xiao Zeran! What can I do about this? ”

Ke Yan scratched his head, looking puzzled, and didn't know what to say.

"This ......"

Sa Ze came to a stream, washed his face, sobered himself up, then looked at the surrounding environment, lay down on the spot, looked at the blue sky, closed his eyes, didn't know what he was thinking, as if he had figured it out in an instant, stood up and breathed a long sigh of relief.

"Let's find another chance next time! Let's go back! ”

Ke Yan also respected Sa Ze's choice and left here together, in fact, it was very simple to get rid of Xiao Zeran, and there were many opportunities, but Sa Ze didn't want Cai Lingling to be sad, he just wanted to find a suitable opportunity to get rid of Xiao Zeran, and tried not to expose that he did it himself.

Xiao Zeran came to an intersection and stopped, one was to the town in front of him, and the other was to the bandit city, Xiao Zeran rode towards the route of the bandit city, but stopped again, and said to the man in black behind him.

"You don't have to come with me, I'm enough for me, you go to protect Princess Tao Shahui secretly for me! I'm afraid she'll be in danger, after all, she's surrounded by a bunch of rubbish and can't be trusted! ”

The five men in black behind him were indifferent and did not have any intention of leaving, and one of the men in black jumped off his horse and saluted.

"Lord Xiao Zeran, we are here to accompany you to the bandit city, not to protect any princess, if you are hurt or fail to go back safely, we will all be punished, I hope Lord Xiao Zeran can understand!"

Xiao Zeran could also understand, so he didn't get angry, but sighed, and his tone of voice was easy-going, because Xiao Zeran really regarded everyone in the shadow stream as brothers, and he would not blame his brothers because he was a gold medal killer, nor would he be angry because they didn't obey.

"Although I don't have the authority of the young master, after all, I'm on a mission outside, and I'm also a gold medal killer, so I hope you can give me some face!"

The other also jumped off the horse and saluted: "Lord Xiao Zeran, you may have misunderstood, we are not disobeying you, and we are not afraid of going back and being punished, but we need to protect your safety, even if we die in the bandit city, we must protect you out safely!" This is our duty, I hope Lord Xiao Zeran can understand and don't embarrass his subordinates! ”

Xiao Zeran jumped off the horse and helped the two men in black up, and said cordially.

"If I can't get out safely, you will not go in vain, and even become a burden to me, I have to fight with them, and I have to take care of your safety, if I can't come out safely, you tell the young master truthfully, I asked you not to go with you, and the young master will definitely understand."

The five men in black each glanced at each other, nodded, and finally compromised.

"Good! But if Lord Xiao Zeran doesn't come out safely, we will definitely not survive, and we will go down to the Yellow Spring with you! I hope you can return safely, Lord Xiao Zeran! ”

Xiao Zeran also patted the shoulder of the man in black.

"Don't worry! I'll be back safely! Don't forget to help me protect Princess Tao Shahui! ”

The men in black nodded, mounted their horses, and left the place, but instead of taking the road, they rode into the depths of the woods, jumped off their horses, tied their horses to trees, and then hid in the woods.
