Chapter 175: The rivers and lakes are far away, and being a man is very short
Zhou Xiaobai, who couldn't bear his temperament, took the lead, and Zhu Li, who didn't have time to remind him, could only follow behind, and the frank and swinging city gate seemed to him to be full of jealousy, and the uneasiness that vaguely leaked out of his heart covered up his footsteps.
The torches hanging on the stone wall of the city gate swayed in the wind, like a dance in the dark.
Zhu Li secretly screamed badly, grabbed Zhou Xiaobai's collar and fled back, just took two steps, and jumped down several figures on the tiled houses on the street behind him, and the retreat was blocked tightly.
Zhou Xiaobai, who was strangled by the collar, choked a few mouthfuls of water, rubbed his aching throat and asked the teacher, and choked back again by the trend surrounding him. The anger that originally came from the heart was also indifferent.
"I expected you to escape tonight, the organization has been waiting here early, anyway, the people who came out of the organization have done an excellent job of hiding their skills, I have to say that you are the best. The black-clothed killer said with a long knife at his waist.
Zhu Li is not a person who will be fluttering after being praised a few words. It's that people like to be praised, and no one is an exception, the problem is that in today's desperate situation, where is the mood to eat a few horses, for a few words of light and two, it doesn't seem to be worth a life.
"Why can't the organization let me go? I've never revealed any secrets, so don't I have a chance to live?" Zhu Li said.
The man in black, who was also a killer, smiled lightly: "On the first day you join the organization, you must have enlightenment, we can be alive but dead, for the prince, we are just a knife driven by others, and there is no need to exist if we get rid of it." ”
Zhou Xiaobai, who was trembling slightly, couldn't help but swallow his saliva, and the breath of death on the black-clothed people around him made him feel a little chilled, and even his heart trembled a little.
He turned his head to look at the tall man beside him, hoping to find a glimmer of hope in his eyes, but the result was sad, there was a dead despair in those deep eyes, and this time they were really desperate.
"It's all people from the organization, can you let me go?" said Zhu Li and pulled out a long knife from behind his back.
Several black-clothed men did the same, slowly taking out their long knives and aiming them at the fish that had been caught, and the sharp blades were particularly dazzling in the firelight.
"Do you think we'll dare to let you go?" The killer who was clearly in the lead, tired of being asked the answer countless times.
The long knife in Zhu Li's hand slashed out horizontally, and before the killers around him could react, he slashed at the young man beside him.
Zhou Xiaobai, who was even more surprised than the black-clothed people around him, had a tingling pain in his chest, looked at the man who shot at him in disbelief, and slowly closed his eyes as his body went to the end.
Obviously, he didn't expect to make a move on his companions, and the killers who came from the encirclement showed indescribable smiles, and the killers were all like this, attacking the people around them without any emotion.
"Now that the talkative man is dead, let's make it a different story. Zhu Lidao, who didn't know if it was on his hand or on the knife.
The killer only raised his eyebrows and glanced at Zhu Li's palm, but did not answer this dispensable answer, the killer who was slowly approaching with a knife was obviously telling him with practical actions what the ending was.
Zhu Li looked up at Mingyue, the long knife in his hand was already tightened, and there was no luck as before tonight.
The sound of fighting at the city gate was very loud, and the sound of weapons colliding from time to time made many surrounding households light up their lights, and then heard a muffled shout. He hurriedly turned off the lights and closed the windows, for fear of getting into some trouble that he shouldn't have caused, and it was obviously a good time for a thief in the middle of the night.
Half an hour later, the sound of fighting at the city gate returned to calm, and the killer standing with a knife did not say a word as he looked at the man who desperately replaced them with his injuries.
The man with his arm cut off and a long knife stuck in his waist and abdomen was lying on the ground covered in blood, looking at Mingyue with dim eyes, he was surprisingly quiet, like sitting on the grass and looking forward to the rivers and lakes when he was a child.
Some unrelenting killers raised their knives to cut off the man's neck, and they were always the leaders of the shots, and quickly slashed the blade of the broken neck.
The killer who came out of the knife was a little puzzled, and his arm that was bounced off by the big movement was involved in the wound, and his face was full of displeasure.
"He can't live anymore, he will die sooner or later, after all, he is from the same organization, although he can't be let go, it's still okay to give him a way to die. The little leader of the killer said.
Other killers do not refute such remarks, they have no right to decide life and death, and they do wait for death in peace, which is the greatest happiness of the killer. Soon the killers left one by one and disappeared into the night.
The leader of the killers retracted the knife into its scabbard, looked at the man whose eyes were still open, and swept past the young man who fell to the ground not far away, and disappeared into the night with a sigh that he shouldn't have.
Zhou Xiaobai, who woke up leisurely, gasped for pain in his chest, and after reluctantly getting up, his hands groped around his chest, except for the faint pain in his body, there were no substantial scars outside his body.
He clearly remembered that he was slashed in the chest. Thinking of this, Zhou Xiaobai hurriedly looked around, and the figure lying on the ground not far away attracted his attention.
There was still a sense of pressure in his heart, Zhou Xiaobai, who was holding his chest, walked to the figure on the ground, and the familiar face was the man who got along all the way, Zhu Li.
"You're awake...", the man who had never closed his eyes, could barely see the figure standing in front of him, and a weak voice came from the can.
Zhou Xiaobai didn't want to speak, but he couldn't bear it, so he replied simply: "Hmm." ”
"Attacking you just now is the best I can think of... After all, I'm not that man, I don't have that kind of earth-shattering ability..."
Zhu Li didn't use the knife to kill Zhou Xiaobai before, but to save him, he learned a knife technique that can hit people's hearts, making people simply fake death and shock, and the blood on his chest was also cut on his palm, and he deliberately smeared it on the knife when he made a move, and finally the back of the knife was dyed on his clothes.
After understanding the painstaking work, Zhou Xiaobai slumped weakly on the ground, looking at the man who saved his life at the critical moment, and he didn't know how to do it.
"Let's go... The farther you run, the better..."Zhu Li still spoke, blood began to spill from the corners of his mouth.
"I'll take you with me!"
Zhou Xiaobai said tremblingly, desperately helping up the burly and tall man who was much heavier than him.
With the ups and downs of his waist and body, a lot of blood gushed out of his mouth, making Zhou Xiaobai, who had never experienced such a scene, feel a little in a hurry.
"No... ...... used I can't live..."Zhu Li said intermittently, and the bloodshot in his mouth stretched out a long line.
Zhou Xiaobai, who only cared about his own beliefs and shook his head desperately, his eyes were full of determination, and it took a lot of effort to help the man up, carry it on his back and walk out of the city with difficulty.
With every bumpy step, the man on his back would spit out a mouthful of blood, even the hands holding his legs were wet with sticky blood, the man's breathing became shorter and shorter, and Zhou Xiaobai couldn't help yelling:
"Don't sleep, we're going to go out of the city soon, let's go find Langzhong, it'll be fine!"
Zhu Li, whose eyes were dim, smiled lightly, as if he really had some strength, and said the words that had been suppressed in his heart for a long time.
"You know what... I walked with you to find that man, and our team was defeated at his hands..."
Zhou Xiaobai shouted: "Don't say it!"
"I know it's not his opponent, and I'm just looking for him to die, I'm tired of this Jianghu, and it's strange to say... I don't want to die if I'm gone..."
"You're not going to die, hold on..."
Zhu Li's dim eyes turned even grayer, as if he was infatuated.
"I only think when I know you... It's not bad to be alive..."
The man's voice stopped abruptly, Zhou Xiaobai's body trembled for a moment, his footsteps stopped for a moment, and then he still walked out, walked out of the city gate, and walked onto the endless dark road.
"I'll take you to Langzhong, and I'm going to learn knives from you..."
The man on his back remained silent, and no response could be heard from the silent night except for the sound of heavy footsteps.
The night was long, the road was long, and the stubborn man who never stopped walked on the road all the time, his heavy steps and breathing were a little uneven.
The stars in the sky began to dim, and the bright moon began to loom after the passage of time, until a touch of fish white belly appeared in the sky, and the rising sun rose far away without any warmth, scattered on thousands of lands, and the two people who were walking with the mountains also shone in it, and the sky was still very cold.
Zhou Xiaobai stopped with difficulty, looked at the rising sun, like a sunset, and then his eyes went black and fell on the wide and uninhabited avenue.
Jianghu Road is sometimes very short!
