Chapter 4 Determination

"Hehe, this bride is very beautiful, take it back to the eldest brother to be Mrs. Zhai. ”

The man with the scar in the lead, with a smile on his face, showed his black and yellow teeth. One of his front teeth had fallen out, and it was seen that the gap was caused by an external force. His thick limbs were bruised, and his dark skin made the scars on his face particularly terrifying. He was dressed in tiger fur, cowhide boots, and a large knife on his shoulder, and his aura was crude and formidable.

The woman had never seen such a battle, and she was so frightened that she couldn't say a word, and the horror in her eyes kept coming out.

"Mother-in-law. Bai Jiang had already guessed the situation, and she unconsciously approached her mother-in-law, wanting to seek some security.

"That's right, the wedding dress is all dressed, and the sedan chair is also available. Let's carry her back directly, saving a lot of trouble. Some of the attendants responded, and then they began to coax.

Bai Jiang was so frightened that his whole body stiffened, and his face was full of horror.

Someone came up and pulled her, separating her from the mother-in-law beside her. The mother-in-law stepped forward to stop her, but was kicked to the ground by the bandits. The mother-in-law threatened: "Do you know who she is? If you want to touch her, the master of the Bai family will never spare you!"

The leading black-skinned bandit laughed wildly, "Rich lady? That's better." Capture his daughter and ask them for ransom, and he can make a lot of money. ”

The mother-in-law was remorseful when she heard this, and she wanted to use the power of the Bai family to deter them and make them jealous, but who knew that she showed them the way to get rich. This is good, with chips in hand, they will not let go.

Bai Jiang: "You let me go, mother-in-law save me!"

"Oh, this bride's hands are so slippery, white and tender. The bandit who grabbed Bai Jiang rubbed his rough hand against Bai Jiang.

Bai Jiang roared angrily, disgusting: "Don't touch me!"

"Still resisting, I like wild women the most. Second master, why don't we take this woman back, let's ...... ourselves" He rubbed his hands excitedly, looking at Bai Jiang's angry and delicate face.

The bandit leader really touched his chin and thought about it seriously, his eyes stared at her chest and thin waist like a water snake, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise, and he said for a long time: "It makes sense." ”

When the mother-in-law saw that their evil intentions rose again, she got up and rushed over. The bandit glanced out of the corner of his eye, didn't even turn his head, and gently raised the big knife and crashed into the belly of the mother-in-law. The mother-in-law coughed up blood violently and fell to the ground and died on the spot.

As soon as Bai Jiang heard that his mother-in-law was silent, he cried excitedly: "Mother-in-law!" As soon as the scream came out, the birds in the woods were startled, and they flew out with their wings and dropped a few feathers.

Bai Jiang's face was full of tears, and he was pushed by everyone but could not do anything. She secretly removed the pear hairpin on her bun, covered it in her heart, closed her eyes and slid down two lines of tears, refreshing the tears. She whispered, "Xia Qian." ”

She pointed the tip of the hairpin at her heart, and was about to stab it hard, when there was a sudden bang around her, and a strong smell of dust came to her face. In the next second, she was carried out of the misty place.

Just from the oncoming wind, it can be seen that this person is very fast, and the wind brings the smell of that person, it is Xia Qian!

Bai Jiang's heart was beating extremely fast, and the drum seemed to jump out of his mouth. She didn't say anything, just hugged his neck tightly with peace of mind and fear.

It's just that soon, the bandits behind him have caught up. Bai Jiang heard the sound of many footsteps, and couldn't help but think of Fang Cai's fear.

Although Xia Qian's feet are very fast, this is also because he has been a snitch for many years, but now he is carrying a person on his back, and his physical strength is much faster than usual.

Bai Jiang listened to his accelerating panting, gradually unsteady pace. She knew that Xia Qian's enemies were no more than them. She said with a crying voice: "Xia Qian, leave me alone, they kill people without blinking, I don't want you to die because of me." ”

"No way. Xia Qian replied.

Bai Jiang rolled into tears, and the footsteps in his ears and the wild shouts got closer and closer. She struggled ruthlessly and fell off Xia Gan's back, and Xia Qian staggered forward.

"Let's go! She threw herself on the ground and shouted forward.

Xia Qian: "I said it was impossible...... he immediately got up and went to pull Baijiang.

Bai Jiang pushed him away and cried, "You go! I beg you, leave me alone." ”

Xia Qian said firmly: "If I leave now, I will regret it for the rest of my life." ”

Bai Jiang cried dumbly, and Bai Nen's palms were cut by stones, and there were bursts of stinging pain.

"Don't fight, none of you can escape. The bandits rushed up and surrounded them all.

The bandit leader spat fiercely in front of Xia Qian, and said rudely: "It's a good thing for you to fuck you, and if you look thin and thin, you have to be a hero to save the beauty, get out of your mother." After speaking, he kicked Xia Qian's chest with a thick kick.

Xia Qian fell to the ground and did not refute it. He rolled his eyes and looked at the bandits in front of him one by one. With his three-legged cat ability, it is impossible for the other party to retreat with a large number of people, not to mention that it is even more difficult to bring the blind Bai Jiang.

"Calm down, calm down, will definitely find a way. Xia Qian gasped, his brows furrowed, and his fists clenched.

He suddenly remembered what he had heard the family say on the rooftop before he came.

"I heard that a few days ago, the Zhaozi dart of the Jinshi Dart Bureau was robbed on Miaoshan Road, and the dart seemed to be worth tens of thousands of taels. ”

"When did the bandits come from Miaoshan, that is the only way out of the city, how dangerous it is to go out of the city in the future. ”

"But no, our county order didn't have time to do it, and he was promoted and transferred away the next day, and the new county order has not yet taken office. ”

"No wonder the security has not been very good recently, I heard that Ma Wu was showing off that he went to Xia's house during the day, and he was able to come out unharmed. That's tough, it's really thick-skinned, and the lower ninth rate still has pride. ”

"If you want to talk about the Xia family, it's also quite miserable, and a lot of people have died......"

Xia Qian sorted out his thoughts and knew it in his heart.

The bandit leader was quite strange when he saw his calm smile: "What the hell are you laughing at?"

Xia Qian replied: "Laugh at your collusion between officials and bandits, so bold." ”

The bandit leader was shocked. Only a few masters in their village knew about this, and even the little brother below never revealed half of it, how could he be a hairy boy who was half a mouthful......

"Don't talk nonsense here, what proof do you have. The bandit leader argued with him.

Xia Qian stood up, patted the dust on his body, and said slowly: "A few days ago, the Jinshi Dart Bureau on Miaoshan Road was robbed, and it was you who did it." ”

The bandit leader directly admitted. "That's right, so yes. ”

Xia Qian continued: "That dart is a Zhao number, and it is an official dart. The official dart was robbed, and the local county order was not only not punished, but was also promoted, which is too strange. The only reason is that the county order swallowed this official money and privately received it with the top officials, in order to give this disappeared money a clear place, hired you thieves to make a play and shared. ”

The bandit applauded and smiled rudely, "Wonderful." Although Lao Tzu stayed in the mountains all day, he also knew that it would take several days for the document to appoint the official to travel from the central government to this small place. Your county commander seems to be in office the next day. If you really say so, we will rob the official dart and send the money to the higher officials. The timing is right. ”

Xia Qian replied: "Because you robbed an empty dart that day." ”

The bandit's face was gloomy.

"The money was delivered early in the morning, but I was just looking for you to make a show...... Hmmm!"

As soon as Xia Qian's words fell, he was kicked down by the bandit leader.

"Clever boy. If you're too smart, you'll kill yourself. As soon as the bandit leader waved his hand, several younger brothers surrounded him and punched and kicked him.

Xia Qian protected his head to avoid vital blows. He didn't think the other party would be jealous of this. He argued with him for a long time just to stall for time. The smoke bomb he shot down just now was left to him by Xia Lin, and it was used as a distress signal at a critical moment. At his pace, it's time for this too.

"Don't fight, don't fight. Bai Jiang heard Xia Qian's strong snort in the punching and kicking, and stopped.

The bandit leader coughed, and the little brothers stopped and dispersed. Xia Qian was beaten very fiercely, his limbs and back, numb and trembling in pain, a few kicks hit his five organs, and he was cramping in his stomach right now. The bandit leader walked in and stepped on his back, immobilizing him.

"You've said so much, it's Lao Tzu's turn. Lao Tzu sees that you have an unusual relationship with this woman, but she is wearing a wedding dress, and you don't. Does this mean that you two have an adulterous relationship? The young lady of the Bai family in Xiangcheng did not abide by women's morals, and she must be a prostitute if she marries. ”

When Xia Qian heard this, he was furious. He struggled and tried to roll over and punch him, but he couldn't break free.

The bandit leader sat on top of him, lifted his right leg and bent it in the opposite direction, the sound of bones shattering was crisp and loud.

"Ahhh!!h

Xia Qian was in great pain, and the severe pain in his legs made him almost faint, his eyes turned white, and cold sweat broke out all over his body.

"Xia Qian, Xia Qian, are you okay? Bai Jiang asked in a panic when he heard this.

"Let Lao Tzu guess. You're a snitch and a fast runner. But this woman is a young lady with status, are you a snitch worthy of someone else's daughter?" He patted Xia Qian's face contemptuously.

The soreness of the heart instantly overshadowed the pain in the legs. He imagined more than once that if he had a good family background, or had a good ability and a good mind, he would not be a thief who was spurned and disgraced. Will he be able to see her openly and tell her what he really thinks.

"Son, do you know why I gave you that name? ”

Maybe it was Old Man Hou's self-deprecation, or maybe it was his heartfelt words. has spent most of his life in a daze, has he ever regretted it in his heart, and he didn't take it lightly when he was young.

And is he really willing to be a lowly person forever?

There was another crisp bone cracking sound, and Xia Gan's left hand was also broken.

"Ahhhhh!!hh

He was in agony, his soul felt as if he was about to be stripped of his body, and his thoughts were racing in his head.

Bai Jiang knelt down and moved in the direction of Xia Qian, she touched his face, and the cold touch really made her panic. "Do you remember the question you asked me yesterday? I'll tell you the answer now. I believe in you and you can. Because it's you. ”

The bandit leader laughed loudly, got up from him, and kicked him over. He carried Bai Jiang on his waist as easily as hanging a handkerchief.

Xia Qian was facing the sky on his back, and his blurred vision gradually became clear. He saw Bai Jiang fluttering his limbs, holding back his cries and tears, and in the end he was afraid that he would make a senseless struggle for her.

His brain buzzed, as if something had exploded, anger and grief mixed with indignation, and his whole body became hot.

He suddenly remembered that he had been caught stealing something for the first time when he was six years old, and that the owner had broken one of his legs like this bandit. He was lying in the hut, his little face pale, and he looked lifeless. He asked Old Man Hou, is there no other way to survive except stealing? Old Man Hou lowered his head and snorted, "No." He had forgotten the latter sentence for a long time, but at this time, under the stimulation of severe pain, he suddenly remembered.

It was a gentleness that he rarely had, and he said, "I don't have it, but you do." ”

As the sun gradually rises, the thin puffy clouds cannot hide its rays at all, dazzling and warm.

Xia Qian clenched his fists and relied on one arm and one leg to support him, but he could only kneel on one knee.

The bandit leader waved his broadsword, and the white swaying knife reflected the light of the morning sun, which was very dazzling.

The dragon sword flew at the right time, he caught him steadily, inserted it into the loose soil, stood up tremblingly with the support of the long sword, and then pulled out the sword body, and slashed a hole in his left arm. Blood flowed through the blade, and sharp golden sword qi spurted out.

"This guy, what's the matter!" the thieves were shocked when they saw him judge the two of them.

"Could it be a Taoist priest on Dongcheng Mountain, impossible. The bandit leader was shocked by the sword aura, and the raised broadsword did not fall for a long time.

Xia Qian closed his eyes, as if he was silently chanting something. When he opened his eyes again, a light flashed under his eyes. Suddenly, the spiritual power of his whole body gushed, and the golden light appeared all around him, and the spiritual power materialized and spread around him. I saw that his expression was solemn, his eyes were sharp, and he did not see the slightest pain, which was completely different from his usual casual expression.

The Dragon Teng Sword spun lightly in his hand, quickly slashing in eight directions, the sword wind was wild, and the sword qi marks were fixed in the air and did not dissipate. He pointed his sword at the sky, and a sword qi surged into the sky, and the dazzling light was comparable to the dawn. He swung his fingers and turned the hilt of his sword upside down, and stabbed his sword into the soil beneath his feet.

He looked sharply at the bandit leader, raised his hand to him, and said in a deep voice.

"After his death, the king of Hades asked who the slaughterer was, the Yumen Longteng Xia clan, and Xia Qian was also. ”

The spread palm was clenched hard, and the nine solidified sword qi transformed into nine long dragons, and the golden dragon raised his head and groaned deeply, shaking the heavens and the earth, and his lazy posture seemed to have been asleep for a long time, eager to move his muscles and bones. They galloped ferociously, flying in their own directions. Its movements were swift, causing black clouds to crush the city, and the wind raged until the golden light dissipated.

Bai Jiang sat at Xia Qian's feet, unable to see the scene of blood splattering, and did not even hear a trace of wailing. When the wind and sand stop, the clouds and fog are cleared, and the top of Miaoshan Mountain returns to the tranquility that it should have in the early morning.

The spiritual power dissipated and turned into smoke. Xia Qian's eyes rolled, his eyes closed, and he fell straight back. Xia Lin appeared in the wind at the right time and helped him.

He frowned slightly, looking at the dragon sword inserted in the ground.
