Although the distance between Xishan Island and Gusu City is not thousands of miles, it is also separated by more than 100 nautical miles.

As the so-called ten miles of different days, not to mention the different weather between the sea and land, the distance between the sea and the land, the weather is different, should be a common scene.

However, despite the barrier of Wanzhong Mountain, the scene over Xishan Island today is no different from Gusu City.

However, in the afternoon, the dark clouds cover the sky and the sun, and there is a gray and gloomy scene in front of you, without the appearance of a fairyland of paradise, I think it is the children in the sky who are naughty for a while, so that the ink on the inkstone floods the blue sky for a hundred miles.

After being woken up by Liu Qi, Jiang Yichen came to the bow of the boat and looked into the distance towards the shore of Xishan Island, which was more than a mile away.

There are many more boats than usual at the ferry crossing on the shore, isn't it for the purpose of diverting people from the island?

But as Liu Qi continued to paddle towards the shore, the smell of blood in the air gradually filled his nose.

"I am most familiar with the waterways here, every time there is a transfer of people on the island, the old man will let me participate, of course, he will inform me in advance to arrange relevant matters, but recently the old man has not sent a message, today there are a lot more ships on the island, but it is very strange. Liu Qi expressed his concerns.

It is said that the spiritual sense of animals is much sharper than that of humans, and when the wooden ship gets closer and closer to the shore, the black general, who has been in peace, will step lightly on the horse's hooves, and it will not be the excitement of landing on the shore, but the anxiety of his own heart.

Clearly, General Black had sensed the anomaly on the island.

"Xiaochen, do you smell that fishy smell?!" Liu Qi suddenly exclaimed.

For people who deal with water all year round, they will never be surprised by the smell of fish, and what will make Liu Qi shocked can only be the smell of human blood.

Jiang Yichen didn't look back, and Liu Qizi didn't see the young man's frowning brows, he could only hear the urging voice coming from the wind in front of him, "Brother Liu, hurry up." ”

When Liu Qi heard this, he stopped talking, threw away the short oar, replaced it with a long penny, and inserted it into the bottom of the water that had gradually become shallow, so that the force supported the boat to speed up.

When he was still a few feet away from the shore, Jiang Yichen's feet were already on the edge of the bow of the boat.

Seeing that the boat was approaching, Liu Qi stopped holding the boat, let the boat lean towards the shore with inertia, and with one free hand, his thumb and index finger were close to each other, stretched out his mouth, and blew a crisp and sharp whistle, which was transmitted to the water's shore.

It didn't take long for a long time for the distant convenience to respond.

A gray shadow accompanied by a crisp and sharp birdsong, spread its wings, circled for a moment, and after confirming the source of the whistle, it swooped down, and the speed of the arrow that must have been out of the string was incomparable.

The gray shadow also attracted Jiang Yichen's attention, and when he flashed past him, he was almost slapped into the water by the wind he brought up.

When he looked back, a gray bird with its wings stretched had already landed firmly on Liu Qi's shoulder.

"Little Gray?" This gray bird belongs to the peregrine falcon family, with long and pointed wings, and dense white horizontal bands under the wings and tail, Jiang Yichen has also seen it a few times when he was on the island, it is not difficult to identify, but I don't know why Liu Qi summoned it.

"This is Lan, you can see that the little moustache on its head is blue. Liu Qi pointed to Xiaolan's head, and Jiang Yichen saw that it was really not bad.

Liu Qi stroked Xiaolan's folded wings and said: "In addition to Xiaolan and the little gray you mentioned, there is also Xiaoyan, who is not very familiar with them, I have not observed the detailed differences between them, the three of them are our good partners, if we need to deliver urgent news, with their speed, we can fly to the chrysanthemum garden within a day." ”

As he spoke, the hull shook slightly, and it was already docked, and at some point, Liu Qi had a small note in his hand, bit his finger, and quickly made a few strokes on the note.

Although the handwriting is sloppy, Jiang Yichen, who is standing at the other end, can also vaguely see the two bright red characters "There is change".

Liu Qi stuffed the folded small note into a small slender reed stem, Xiaolan naturally leaned down and lowered her head, bit the reed stem, and stuck it at the end of the beak as soon as she raised her head, shook it twice, and after confirming that it was stable, she cried softly, and as a farewell, she fluttered her wings and flew towards Wanzhong Mountain.

"Only Xiaolan was recruited, if Xiao Ash and Xiao Yan were not on the island, they must have rushed to Juyuan to report before we came, I believe that the old man will respond soon, let's go to find out the situation first, remember, do what we can." After the two watched Xiaolan leave, Liu Qi said to Jiang Yichen.

"Hmm. Jiang Yichen agreed.

Immediately, one with a sword and one with an oar, under the leadership of General Black, galloped towards the island.

Walking to the island for a short time, you can see that on the ground in front of you, there are three corpses soaked in red, two of them are dressed in black, and the other is dressed as a fisherman, although they are lying on the ground, and there is a hat to cover their heads, and they can see that they are accompanied by a three-foot-long waist knife, and Liu Qi can already confirm the identity of this person.

"Lao Liu!" Liu Qi shouted at the top of his voice, his voice trembling a little.

Jiang Yichen and Liu Qi turned over and dismounted, and walked quickly to the fisherman's side.

Liu Qi slowly took the hat off the fisherman's head, and there was no accident, it was Liu Yiheng, a Songzhu wanderer.

Seeing the red tide under Liu Yiheng's body, the two of them didn't need to turn him over, they could guess the tragic situation in his chest and abdomen, and reached out to probe his body surface, without any temperature, thinking that he had been dead for a long time.

Jiang Yichen investigated the two black-clothed men again, but couldn't identify their identities, so he silently returned to General Hei's side and waited for Liu Qi.

Liu Qi knew that Jiang Yichen was worried about the safety of other people on the island, and after closing Liu Yiheng's eyes with his hand, he didn't dare to delay too much, and hurriedly continued to march towards the island with Jiang Yichen.

The black general's steps were swift and powerful, but the hearts of the two on horseback became heavier and heavier at the clatter.

As they followed, more and more corpses appeared in front of them, and because of their familiarity with the people of the island, the two of them were like talents, and for the corpses lying on the ground, except for those black-clad enemies, they only needed to look at their clothes and identify their figures, and they could already know whose corpses they were without dismounting and looking at their faces closely.

Jiang Yunfeng, Lao Zheng, Aunt Li, etc., without exception, all lay in a pool of blood.

The black general did not stop, and the men on the horse never dismounted again, but their eyes were gradually stained blood-red.

It is not an exaggeration to describe the scene they saw in terms of corpses, and they did not dare to stop, because they wanted to see people still standing, and they wanted to hear some sounds, other than the sound of horses' hooves, the sound of fighting, the cries for help, even the wailing was better than the silence of the sound of horses' hooves, and they desperately wanted to know if there were any living people on the island......

Jiang Yichen's breathing became more and more rapid, and regardless of General Hei's pain, he directly hit his body with his sword scabbard, urging him to speed up and run towards Xiaoxiang Valley.

"There are so many strange ships by the ferry, except for these dead, there must be thieves who have not left, Xiaoxiang Valley is deep in the island, presumably they haven't found it yet, don't panic. Feeling the trembling body of the young man in front of him, Liu Qi comforted him.

The horses galloped, and no matter how fast they were, they couldn't beat their pulses at the moment.

The cold wind is bitter, and no matter how cold the temperature is, it can't match the cold heart at this moment.

"Mother will be fine, there will be no ......" The words on Jiang Yichen's lips were already vague, but he still said without stopping, not only to calm himself, but also to ask God for protection.

Further from Diecuitan is the fog cliff, Xiaoxiang Valley is close at hand.

However, what should have been an emerald green pool of water like an emerald dripping emerald has become a large dye vat, reflecting the sky red.

There were several black corpses floating on the surface of the pool, and the number of black shadows lying motionless on the boulder on the edge of the pool was no less than a dozen.

The sky was raining down, as if to play a funeral requiem on this stack of green pools.

Suddenly, I caught a glimpse of the mountain road by the Stacked Cui Pond, and there was a person in red who was leaning on the mountain rock, and it seemed that he was still breathing.

When I got a little closer, I realized that the thing this person was wearing was originally a white dress, but it had been changed to crimson color, and the long hair that was scattered covered the entire face, and what people could not ignore was the huge hole in front of this person's chest, and it was thought that only a heavy hammer fell from his chest, which could create this shocking wound.

The scars that remained around his body had been eclipsed in front of this hole, and this was a real fatal wound!

It would be a miracle that this man could survive after such a blow.

To the right hand of the man in red was a sword, and this sword seemed to be the key to supporting him before he slipped and fell to the ground.

That sword, Jiang Yichen looked very familiar.

The whole body is crystal clear, as thin as cicada wings, but it can break the ice, this sword is an ice-breaking sword, the ice-breaking sword of the lonely frost swordsman Xue Qing!

"Uncle Xue!" Jiang Yichen fell off his horse and shouted.
