『Volume 1: The Scroll of Water』 "Mountain Flowers Gradually Become Charming Eyes" Chapter 54 Killing
"Whoa!" Lu Xiaohua poked her head out of the water and inhaled heavily.
At the foot of the mountain where she grew up, there was a long river, which was like a huge bathtub to her. It's just that this time the bathtub has an additional flushing function, in addition to good water, it also needs to have a heart that can withstand great stimulation.
Falling from the waterfall into the river, she was dizzy from the wash, but fortunately, Shang Tianhua pulled her to her chest and blocked most of the impact for her. Even so, there was a roar in her ears, and she couldn't hear the sound clearly for a long time. She simply closed her eyes, only put her mouth as far as possible out of the water, relaxed her body, and rose and fell with the water. With such a water potential, no matter how good the water is, it is impossible to swim, so it is better to drift with the tide like a wooden block, and it can also save some physical strength.
After a while, the roar in my ears gradually subsided. Although the water is still cold, it is not as strong as it was. Lu Xiaohua opened her eyes and kicked her feet lightly, like a belly-flapping fish suddenly resurrected, swimming quickly to the shore.
Suddenly, her right arm sank, and a strong pull caused her to fall straight into the water.
She held her breath and looked into the water. I saw Shang Tianhua with his eyes closed, his body motionless, and his long hair fluttering like aquatic plants. Her right arm was being tightly grasped by Shang Tianhua's left hand, and his right hand was still holding the lance, and it was the heavy lance that pulled the two of them to the bottom of the water.
Lu Xiaohua struggled hard, using all her strength to float up. However, she was small and weak, and she couldn't pull Shang Tianhua and his lance, and the water around her became darker and darker, and she could faintly see the black underwater.
I'm going to be killed by him!" Lu Xiaohua thought sadly, paddling unwillingly with her feet, and at the same time reaching out to pull Shang Tianhua's hair, making her last effort.
Feeling the pain from the ends of his hair, Shang Tianhua, who was holding his breath, opened his eyes. Judging the situation in front of him, he poked the bottom of the water with a long lance, and jumped high from the water with Lu Xiaohua.
"Whew!" Lu Xiaohua's head immediately inhaled greedily as soon as her head came out of the water.
"Knock, knock" twice, and the next moment the two fell back into the water.
Under the water, Shang Tianhua poked down with a long lance again, and rose again. This time, Lu Xiaohua was mentally prepared, as soon as her head was out of the water, her feet and arms were used at the same time, and she swam desperately to the shore.
After tossing and turning like this more than a dozen times, the two finally arrived at the shore.
As soon as she reached the shore, Lu Xiaohua fell down softly, and all the strength of her body seemed to be drained.
"Ahem, ahem!" Shang Tianhua sat up, coughing violently, gasping for breath with difficulty.
After resting for a while, Lu Xiaohua relieved herself and sat up slowly.
Shang Tianhua had already gotten up and was standing by the river with his back to her.
Remembering that she was almost killed by him just now, Lu Xiaohua couldn't help but bump into it in anger and shouted, "Don't you know how to swim?
On the bank of the river, Shang Tianhua looked at the river and was silent.
"Why don't you speak!" Lu Xiaohua walked up to him angrily and suddenly closed her mouth.
The sun had just risen, and the water shimmered with golden light, and a stream of golden liquid seemed to flow in the river. Shang Tianhua stared intently at the depths of the river, his water-soaked clothes clinging to his body, outlining a thin figure, so thin and helpless, it looked very different from usual.
What did she see? This murderous man who didn't blink was in a daze!
Faced with such a him, Lu Xiaohua really couldn't scold. Scratching her head, she said softly: "Actually, it's not a big deal if you don't know water......"
"I have a heavy trust, and I have also endangered Xiao Ding's life!" Shang Tianhua's face turned pale, his lips were blue, and there was a hint of weakness in his voice, "I failed this mission. As he spoke, he suddenly coughed violently.
Thinking of this night's experience, Lu Xiaohua's eyes suddenly dimmed. The cold river breeze blew on the wet clothes, and it was indescribably cold, making people shiver uncontrollably.
Shang Tianhua kept coughing, tears flowing. His physical strength was not as good as that of ordinary people, and he had long since exhausted himself in days of fighting. He suddenly felt a flower in front of him, and his legs and feet fell to his knees.
Lu Xiaohua looked at him, and a pity gradually rose in her eyes.
He coughed so hard that he seemed to be about to cough out all his internal organs, and a little dark red sprayed on the ground along with his coughing sound. His chest rose and fell violently, and his pale cheeks flushed sickly, and he looked in pain.
Although this person has killed many people, for some reason, Lu Xiaohua is no longer afraid of him, but feels that he is extremely pitiful.
Shang Tianhua stroked his chest with one hand, supported the ground with the other, and gasped with difficulty, and in front of his misty eyes, a handful of shiny things suddenly appeared.
He looked up, but it was Lu Xiaohua who went to the river and scooped a handful of water for him. He hesitated, lowered his head, and drank from her hand.
The cold water moistened his throat and made him feel so comfortable that he finally stopped coughing.
Seeing Lu Xiaohua's expression clearly, he turned his face away in disgust, "Don't look at me like this!"
Lu Xiaohua looked at him worriedly and said slowly: "Actually...... It's no wonder you. ”
After thinking about it, she said again, "You've done your best. You said that you would give up everything, but you never gave up your subordinates, even me, and you have saved it several times. ”
"Because I'm not ruthless enough, that's why I failed?" Shang Tianhua muttered to himself, his voice returning to his usual indifference, "Thank you for the reminder, I will definitely correct it in the future." ”
"Actually, you're not a bad person, so why bother to pretend to be a wicked person. Lu Xiaohua sighed lightly.
"Shut up, you don't have to look like you're compassionate, I don't need to!" Shang Tianhua suddenly roared like a vent, "There is no heavenly reason in this world at all, it's just that who's heart is more ruthless and poisonous, and the good people don't live long, but the wicked can be transformed into the emperor and respected! My father once caught Li Shimin, but he didn't kill him because he was dissuaded, and in the end he was killed by him!"
His eyes were red, and there was a hint of madness in his gaze. Lu Xiaohua was at a loss, too frightened to speak.
Looking at the turbulent river, Shang Tianhua's voice revealed a cold coldness, "It's only because my heart is not ruthless enough." I have a love for King Qi, but he has killed me completely. ”
He raised his head and looked at Lu Xiaohua, his eyes as dark as an abyss, "You reminded me right, I won't make such a mistake again in the future." ”
Lu Xiaohua opened her mouth, but she couldn't make a sound, and shook her head sadly.
After a pause, she sighed wordlessly, stepped forward to pick him up, and said softly, "Let's get out of here quickly." ”
Shang Tianhua suddenly raised his hand to strangle her neck, and said coldly: "You must not betray me, otherwise I will definitely kill you." ”
His hands were as cold as ice, thin and powerful, Lu Xiaohua was pinched by him and was short of breath, unable to speak, so he had to nod weakly.
Shang Tianhua stared at her a few times before stopping.
Lu Xiaohua stroked her choked throat, panting and coughing.
Suddenly, Shang Tianhua's face changed, he covered her mouth, and quickly pulled her down by the river.
A moment later, a cold light flashed in the morning mist in the distance, and a small group of officers and soldiers holding steel blades quietly appeared.
I only heard that the leading officer was constantly urging softly: "Hurry up and search! General Liang has an order, the robbers have all been poisoned, and they will not be able to perform their work within 12 hours." We're going to take this opportunity to capture him in one fell swoop!"
After a pause, he added, "Just now, the three teams have found the body of a robber who jumped into the water and drowned. We also have to make meritorious contributions. ”
Lu Xiaohua lowered her head in fear, and felt sad in her heart: I don't know who died?
She suddenly felt a lightness on her body, Shang Tianhua let go of her, Huo Ran got up, and leaped onto the riverbank.
The leading officer recognized him, and shouted in surprise: "The king of Qi has an order, capture this person, and reward 100,000 yuan in silver!"
When the soldiers who followed him heard this, they immediately surrounded Shang Tianhua.
......
Xu Shaofeng jumped from the waterfall. The huge momentum swept him straight into the water, and the waves of Baihuahua were stirring around, and he suddenly lost Lu Xiaohua's figure.
He held his breath and went down the water, until he was swept into a shoal.
He sat up in the water, wiped the water from his face, and looked around. With the same momentum, Xiaohua should also be washed here, right?
Not far away, among the reefs, there seemed to be a figure floating and sinking with the water.
He hurriedly re-entered the water and pulled the man up. However, he was disappointed, the man was a middle-aged man with long hair who was with Shang Tianhua, probably hit his head, and was already delirious.
Xu Shaofeng laboriously dragged him to the river beach a little farther away, and then ignored him. At this moment, finding Xiaohua is the most important thing, and he has no time to take care of other things. What will happen to this person, let him have his luck.
He straightened up and went to the river beach to search. After walking a short distance, a sudden and dense pain came from his chest, almost causing him to breathe. He gasped and barely took a few more steps forward, but sat down with a stagger. Twice competed with Shang Tianhua for internal strength, and he was actually injured a lot.
He had no choice but to reluctantly breathe. While pranayama, he thought resentfully: Shang Tianhua looked a few years older than him. Why! Why is my diligent cultivation of martial arts so poor?
After a few breaths, he was finally able to get up. I dragged my feet along the river beach, but found no sign of anyone else.
Could it be that he was rushed too far, and Xiaohua was actually still behind?
We must find Lu Xiaohua in front of that group of unreasonable officers and soldiers, so that she will not be accidentally injured as a robber!
Thinking of the group of officers and soldiers just now, he couldn't help but feel angry. King Qi's general was not reasonable at all, and he told him that Lu Xiaohua was still in Shang Tianhua's hands, and Bai Haochen also said that he would find another way, but he still ordered the arrow to be released.
Fortunately, I saw Shang Tianhua jumping into the water with Xiaohua in tow. With his martial arts, he should be able to protect Xiaohua peacefully, right?
Although he hated that his martial arts were not as good as Shang Tianhua's just now, he hoped that Shang Tianhua's martial arts would be as high as possible.
Xu Shaofeng looked back along the riverbank.
As the morning dawned, a white horse came rushing towards him from a faint glow.
He took the white horse, his eyes showed a little softness, and he said softly: "Xiaobai, let's go find Xiaohua together." ”
The white horse raised his head and neighed, as if in reply.
Patting its neck, Xu Shaofeng stepped on the horse's back, looked into the distance, and said as if he swore an oath: "If I find Xiaohua, I will never let her leave my side again!"
After walking for a while, a bloodied officer and soldier suddenly staggered towards him.
Xu Shaofeng stretched out his hand to grab him and asked, "What's wrong?"
"Kill...... All killed!" the officers and men were terrified, and their words were slurred.
"Who was killed?" Xu Shaofeng asked anxiously.
"Kill...... The officers and men of the ...... were distracted, and they were obviously greatly stimulated.
Xu Shaofeng's brows furrowed, and he didn't ask any more questions, urging the horse to run forward.
Suddenly, the white horse's feet stopped, and a smell of blood came to his face!
A few feet away on the bank of the river, there were stumps and severed arms, and blood and flesh were scattered all over the ground.
The bodies of more than a dozen officers and soldiers were dismantled like puppets and disintegrated in various places.
The crimson blood slowly gathered, like a cursed red stream, snaking through the ground like an earthworm.
The wind whipped up the heavy red sand, whining and screaming, as if the dead were pouring out their grievances and unwillingness.
Xu Shaofeng's pupils shrank suddenly, and a strong coldness condensed in his eyes.
There is only Shang Tianhua who has such force!
That man was not crazy enough to kill people so brutally.
On the ground not far away, mixed with a little bloodstain, two lines of footprints of different shades gradually extended to the mountains and forests.
Xu Shaofeng stared at the footprints, and a sudden panic surged in his heart.
Lu Xiaohua is with that madman!
