Chapter Fifty-Nine: The Corpse Lifts the Siege
Chapter 59: The Corpse Lifts the Siege
The people in the clothes who didn't catch up with Han Yue and the three of them quickly turned back, and together with the rest of the people in the clothes, they surrounded Xiahou Ti. They formed a common tacit understanding in their hearts: let go of the three people, and they would definitely not be able to deal with each other when they returned, so they had to take this person's body back.
There were already quite a few people who fell to the ground, dead and wounded, but there were still more than two dozen killers. And Xiahou Ti was also cut a few times on his body, and the strength of his wielding chains was gradually weakening and slowing down. He wanted to retreat into the bamboo forest and find a way to escape. But the man in the blue coat has already learned from the past, sealing his retreat, he forward, they also move forward, he retreats they also retreat, even if he has great ability, there will be a time when he will run out of strength.
Seeing that Xiahou Ti was in danger, at this time, a man wrapped in black, wearing a black hood, and a black veil covering his face, fell from the sky. He held the injured Xiahou Ti and said in a dry and sharp voice: "These people, you can't be defeated?" When Xiahou Ti heard the voice, his eyebrows suddenly relaxed, but his mouth was cold: "You are late." The man said, "It's better to be a coincidence." As he spoke, he let out a few shrill whistles, which were so sharp that people couldn't help but want to cover their ears.
The man in the blue clothes saw that there was only one helper, and he was supposed to throw himself into the net, of course, he didn't take it seriously, they continued the original tactics, blocked the retreat of the two, and wanted to continue to trap the two in the encirclement. Then they ignore the danger of this whistle. In a moment, seven or eight monsters came out of the bamboo forest. It is better to say that it is a monster, it is better to say that it is a strange person, with a disheveled hair and a hideous face. Seeing that they had no weapons in their hands, a man in a blue coat raised his knife and slashed at the strange man in front. The strange man didn't hide at all, and before the knife reached his face, he grabbed his wrist, and then broke it hard, only to hear a crisp click, which was the sound of a broken humerus, and then the knife fell to the ground, and one arm hung down weakly. Before he could even react to the pain, one arm was gone, and the strange man did not stop, he actually pulled the man in blue clothes, opened his big mouth full of tartar, and bit the neck of the man in red clothes, the man in blue clothes could not make a sound, but his eyes had shown an extremely terrifying expression. Then a stream of blood ran down his neck. All this happened in an instant, and many people were busy fighting with those two, and they didn't pay attention to what was going on here.
Then it didn't take long for them to realize that something terrible was happening. The strange people who ran out of the bamboo forest had already bitten several people to death in the same way. Looking at their companions lying on the ground with their terrible eyes open, bleeding and convulsing, the rest of the people panicked, and they began to retreat, no matter how much the leader urged, no one wanted to take any more than half a step closer to these strange people. However, the strange people were not given the order to stop, so they continued to open their mouths to drink blood, and approached with their teeth and claws. Seeing this scene, the leader knew that if he continued like this, he would soon be eaten by these weirdos. So he shouted, and the remaining dozen or so people ran into the bamboo forest as fast as they could, disappearing without a trace.
The man in black blew a few more whistles, and the strange men suddenly stopped, lowered their arms, tilted their heads slightly, and stopped like puppets. The man in black walked up to the men in blue who were lying on the ground, and looked at them one by one, some of them were still alive, but they were only injured, but when they saw the scene just now, they were also frightened like chaff, for fear that they would also be bitten to death. The man in black blew a few more whistles, and two unmanned ox carts appeared in the distance of the path, and the strange people mechanically carried the men in blue clothes who were still alive on the ground into one of the ox carts one by one, and they themselves into the other. The man in black helped Xiahou Ti, got on the wheel, drove the ox cart himself, and drove away. Only a few corpses were left on the ground.
In the dimly lit room, Xiahou Ti soaked his whole body in the hot brown medicinal soup, put one hand on the outside of the large wooden barrel, held the lit smoke pot, and closed his eyes to heal his wounds while smoking.
The man in black had taken off his hood and veil, it was a lean and shriveled face, and that face could not be described as beautiful or ugly, because it might have been beautiful in the first place, but now only a layer of skin was left on the outside of the facial bones. In a pair of deep sunken eye sockets, a pair of big eyes, the eyeballs are actually yellow.
He leaned on the pillar beside him, squinted at Xiahou Ti and said, "Ati, your new and old wounds are rare." Seeing that Xiahou Ti ignored him, he said again: "I heard that those people are all famous sons of the Jin Dynasty, you monster didn't scare them." After saying that, he smiled dryly, and then said, "Today because of your blessing, I have gained a lot of good material. But who are these people?"
Xiahou Ti closed his eyes and replied, "It should be Huan Wen." ”
"It turned out to be a killer raised by him, no wonder he has good skills. Okay, I'll take it. Anyway, you're really coincidental, if it's two days late, I won't be here. ”
Xiahou Ti asked, "Where are you going?"
The man in black said, "I have to rush back to Huainan." ”
As soon as he heard the word "Huainan", Xiahou Ti suddenly opened his eyes, stared at him and asked, "Why?"
When the man in black saw that he was finally interested, he pretended to be mysterious and said, "There will be war soon." ”
"Who's fighting?"
"Ati, when did you care about politics? I don't know about this yet, but let me return to King Huainan as soon as possible. Leave early. Oh, the elders have sent a message for you to go back. ”
When Xia Houti heard the words "elders", he let go of the cigarette pot in his hand and fell to the floor, and closed his eyes again.
Abandoning the ship and landing on the shore, the three of them inquired from the villagers and knew that Xiangyang City, which was the closest to here. A carriage was hired, and it was getting late when the three of them arrived in Xiangyang. After entering the city, Zhang Xiao lifted the curtain and looked down the street, and Huan Yi instructed him: "This is still Huan Wen's territory, you must be careful." ”
Walking and walking, Zhang Xiao shouted: "Stop, stop, stop." Huan Yi didn't understand when, so he asked the driver to stop the car. Zhang Xiao jumped out of the car and ran to a wine shop opposite. Huan Yi shook his head and said to Han Yue, "He just wants to eat." After waiting for a while, Zhang Xiao didn't come out, Huan Yi said worriedly: "Why hasn't he come out yet, nothing will happen, right?" The two were just about to get out of the car to see, only to see a bartender-looking person running out of the wine shop, walked to the car, said a few words to the coachman, handed over a broken silver, and then came to the curtain of the car, and said to the people in the car: "The two sons, please get off the car and stay in our wine shop." Huan Yi and Han Yue glanced at each other, got out of the car, and followed the bartender into the store vigilantly.
The shop was neither big nor small, and there were four or five tables of guests sitting in the hall, but there was no figure of Zhang Xiao, and the two of them began to be alert. Huan Yi asked, "I just had a friend come in, can you see it?" The bartender did not answer, but made a gesture of inviting him upstairs, and the two followed him upstairs.
Pushing open the door of a private room, I saw that Zhang Xiao was already sitting at the table, and a large table of wine and food had been placed on the table. Seeing them come in, he hurriedly greeted them with a smile. Waiting for the bartender to exit and close the door, Huan Yi asked nervously: "Didn't I tell you, be careful and keep a low profile." There are so many people in the wine shop, how dare you eat and drink here?"
Zhang Xiao shrugged his shoulders and said, "So what? This is our Zhang family's shop, how can I eat and eat as I want, what can he Huan Wen do with me?"
"Your shop?" Han Yue and Huan Yi looked surprised.
"That's right, I'm in front of Liang Zhang's shop. Zhang Xiao nibbled on a chicken leg and said, "Hurry up and eat, we have to change places after eating." ”
