Chapter Forty-Six: Nobles Help Each Other
suffered yesterday's accident, and he didn't know when he would be able to catch up with Mu Hua's army, at this time, Shi Lingyan dragged his scarred body and walked west with difficulty.
"Mu Hua, Mu Hua, the old lady is desperate for you. Shi Lingyan bared her teeth and said to herself, "If it weren't for my baby's dowry, the old lady wouldn't have served!"
Although she said so, Shi Lingyan still had some faint worries in her heart, if Mu Hua was really killed by those people, I was afraid that the emperor would let her widow Mu Hua at that time, with Mu Hua's brutal nature, maybe it would be possible to drag her to be buried before she died.
Thinking of this, Shi Lingyan gritted her teeth, "Even if you die, you have to wait until I get the dowry......
It took Shi Lingyan a morning to finally get out of this hillside, looking at the clear stream in front of him, Shi Lingyan did not hesitate, and hurriedly walked over to wash the wounds on his body with the stream water.
"It was a no-brainer. Suddenly, a hideous laugh came, Shi Lingyan was startled, and when she turned around, she saw three or four men on horseback coming towards her.
She recognized the man in charge, and on the official day he was looking for her killer outside the city with her portrait.
The man at the head laughed, and instantly showed a look of disdain on his face: "It's really as ugly as the portrait." He turned back to the others and said, "Brothers, this woman is worth three thousand gold, kill her and we can be happy, come on." ”
Hearing this, several people immediately rushed towards Shi Lingyan like chicken blood, Shi Lingyan looked at a few people coldly, looked at the stream behind him, and he had no way to retreat.
At this moment, Shi Lingyan couldn't take care of much, her eyes darkened, she raised her hands, and a bell floated out in an instant,
The killers' expressions were stunned, and they all reined in their horses, but now Shi Lingyan's internal strength is insufficient, and the bell is sometimes strong and sometimes weak, but after a moment, the killers came back to their senses: "This woman has witchcraft, everyone be careful." ”
Thirty-six tricks are the best schemes, seeing that his charm skills are no longer useful at this time, Shi Lingyan hurriedly ran towards the woods next to the stream.
With a snap, Shi Lingyan only felt as if there was a thunder at his feet, and the horses behind him had already caught up. "Don't do useless work. One of the men waved a whip in his hand, "Stop, I'll let you die a happy death." As soon as the words fell, the whip came over again, and went straight to Shi Lingyan's feet, and suddenly Shi Lingyan stumbled and fell on the grass.
Several people chased after them effortlessly and surrounded Shi Lingyan, "What are we going to do with this woman?"
Shi Lingyan looked at them fiercely, but now was not the time to give up, she turned her eyes and suddenly showed a pitiful look: "Did the eldest brother recognize the wrong person? I'm just a mountain girl, how could someone kill me with money." ”
"Don't pretend. Her trick didn't work for these killers at all, "You can offend Miss Xiangfu with a mountain girl, we will take your head back today." ”
Shi Lingyan still wanted to say something, but saw a sword light flashing, and a scream suddenly came from the silent mountains, Shi Lingyan slowly opened his eyes, and the killer who was still shouting just now was already in a different place at this time.
"Don't let this woman run. I don't know who shouted, a horse rushed to Shi Lingyan's side, and the people on the horse took Shi Lingyan up and ran, and there were several screams behind him.
Shi Lingyan knew that someone was saving her, but she never saw the face of that person, "Let go of me." She struggled hard, and suddenly let go of the hand holding her, and the person on the horse fell straight down, Shi Lingyan also fell heavily to the ground, her eyes were dark, and she lost consciousness in an instant.
In the morning, Mu Hua's army had traveled more than ten miles, and when he thought of what happened yesterday, he always felt a little flustered in his heart, as if he had lost something.
The soldier's voice interrupted Mu Hua's thoughts, "Report to the general, we didn't find the assassin who fell down the hill yesterday today. ”
Mu Hua had a cold face, the assassins who died of poison yesterday were Mu Chun's people, he didn't feel strange, but he also found the undercover agents sent by Qin Guogong in his army, so he had to be vigilant, every time he went on an expedition, someone would want to take the opportunity to murder him, and this time the number of assassins was obviously more than before.
"Inform the lieutenant generals, let them count their soldiers and horses, no one less, no more, and do not let suspicious people sneak into the barracks. "Seeing that he is about to reach the border of Yaoguang Kingdom, Mu Hua will definitely not let these villains stop him at this time.
Looking at the neat camp tent in front of her, Shi Lingyan was ecstatic, she finally caught up with Mu Hua's army, she breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly ran to Mu Hua's camp tent, she wanted to quickly tell Prime Minister Mu Hua and others the news that they were going to murder him.
But the moment she opened the tent, she saw a man in black standing behind Mu Hua, and the knife in his hand had already been raised, "Mu Hua, be careful behind you." Before Shi Ling's words could be spoken, the knife of the man in black had already stabbed Mu Hua......
"Don't!" Shi Lingyan opened her eyes violently, only to find that she was already sweating profusely, looking at the bonfire in front of her and the clothes covering her body, at this time she suddenly woke up, "I'm scared to death, it turned out to be a dream just now." ”
Shi Lingyan remembered that she had been rescued just now, and when she was confused, suddenly a monster with a human body and a beast head appeared in front of Shi Lingyan's eyes, she was frightened and stretched out her hand to fight, but he grabbed her hand: "Don't be afraid, girl." ”
The person in front of him took off his beast-faced hood, and a delicate, white and pure man appeared in front of Shi Lingyan's eyes, this man didn't look very old, and he looked soft and weak, and he wouldn't give others a sense of threat.
Shi Lingyan put down her hand in a daze, and asked with some confusion: "Could it be that you saved me from those killers just now?"
The man smiled and nodded, and picked the bonfire more vigorously with a branch, "It's just a gesture, the girl doesn't have to worry about it, I was afraid that you would catch the wind and cold when you fainted, so I made a fire here to keep warm." ”
Shi Lingyan found out that the skin injuries on her body had also been ointmented, and her ankles were not swollen, these must have been done for her by the man in front of her, but he did not ask for credit in front of Shi Lingyan, and in an instant, Shi Lingyan had a good impression of him.
"Thank you little brother for saving me, my name is Shi Lingyan, and I don't know your name, little brother. Shi Lingyan said with a smile.
The man turned to look at her and said lightly, "It's good if you call me Chu Li." ”
The sky in this mountain forest always gets dark very fast, and between the two talking, the sky has completely darkened, Chu Li hurriedly took the wild fruit he picked to Shi Lingyan, Shi Lingyan was very curious: "Why are you wearing a beast's head?"
Chu Li said with a smile: "Walking in this mountain wilderness, it is inevitable to encounter some wild beasts, and I don't want to entangle with them, so I made this decision." ”
Between the words, Shi Lingyan had already decided that the stranger in front of him must be a person with strong martial arts, and if he could get his protection, he would definitely be able to find Mu Hua's army faster.
