1O9 Away from Hatred (12)

Luo Yuxuan walked in front of the Qing soldiers, his mind was quickly calculating, he lied that he knew where the thieves were, but it was just an expedient measure to save the villagers. If the Qing soldiers found out that they had deceived them, they would surely die.

He knew that there was a mountain to the northeast, and that there was a river below it, and that the river meandered through several villages.

The Qing soldiers followed Luo Yuxuan farther and farther, walked out of the village, and walked towards the mountains in the northeast, the road became narrower and more difficult. The officer was suspicious, rode his horse close to Luo Yuxuan, and shouted, "You Han Chinese, where are you going to take us?" Luo Yuxuan didn't raise his head, and said: "Official, aren't you going to catch the thief? The thief is on the mountain in front, and I will lead you to find him." The officer said, "You'd better not play tricks, or I'll let you die a miserable death." Luo Yuxuan smiled and said, "Don't worry, how dare Xiaomin deceive you." The officer said, "I don't dare." ”

They had traveled another two or three miles, and saw a river in front of them. The officer instructed a Qing soldier beside him, "Go up and see, is there a bridge to cross the river?" The Qing soldier took the order and left, and after a short time he replied: "Lieutenant Baoshi, there is a pontoon bridge on the river in front of you, which can lead to the opposite mountain. Deputy Lieutenant Shi nodded, pointed at Luo Yuxuan and said, "Let him lead the way in front." ”

When they came to the river, they saw that the pontoon bridge was no more than two feet above the water, and that it was paved with wooden planks and wooden stakes driven into the water below. When people go immediately, they will stagger, and if they are not careful, they will be trampled on.

The group walked to the middle of the bridge, and Luo Yuxuan thought to himself that once he crossed the bridge and arrived in the mountains, if he couldn't find the Qing soldiers to arrest him, he would also be killed. Looking down at the river under his feet, he saw that although the river was not very turbulent, it was also wide and surging eastward.

Luo Yuxuan thought of this section and suddenly jumped into the river. His move was too hurried, Deputy Lieutenant Shi and the Qing soldiers were unexpected, and when they came back to their senses, Luo Yuxuan had already flowed down the water for three or four feet. At this time, some of the Qing soldiers had already reached the middle of the bridge, some were still on the shore, and Deputy Lieutenant Shi and another general on horseback were already on the bridge, and one of them was in the last formation, just about to go to the bridge.

Deputy Lieutenant Shi shouted, "Intercept him quickly!" As soon as he raised his hand, the spear that he had been holding in his hand flew out and shot towards Luo Yuxuan. At this time, Luo Yuxuan had already flowed down the river seven or eight zhang away, and Deputy Lieutenant Shi's spear flew in, still a few feet away from him, and then fell into the water and drifted away along the current.

At the same time, the officer who had not yet reached the bridge led more than a dozen Qing soldiers behind him to chase along the riverbank, and the officer on the horse chased along the river, chasing more than ten zhang, the river bank widened, and the water flow slowed down a little, the officer and the Qing soldiers hurriedly bent their bows and arrows, and the feather arrows swished towards Luo Yuxuan like raindrops.

Luo Yuxuan's water nature is acceptable, seeing a feather arrow shooting, his body sank, dived into the water, subconsciously paddled down his hands and feet, and when he was swimming, he only felt a pain in his right arm, and it turned out that an arrow was shot on his arm. He was in pain, his mind was uncertain, he drank two mouthfuls of river water with one mouth, felt dizzy and heavy, and faintly heard the Qing soldiers on the shore shouting: "Shoot him, quickly catch him." Then he lost consciousness.

Deputy Lieutenant Shi led another group of Qing soldiers to quickly cross the bridge and chase Luo Yuxuan from the other side of the river. The officer on the shore on this side saw Luo Yuxuan floating in the river, and a few people with good water nature jumped into the river to catch him, the officer pointed at the horse, and ordered the Qing soldiers to speed up the encirclement, and rode on horseback to bend bows and arrows to take arrows, aiming at Luo Yuxuan, who slowly floated in the river, and wanted to make up for another arrow.

At this moment, on a poplar tree several feet high on the shore, a man in black suddenly came out, only to see him dressed in black clothes and black pants, with a black scarf on his face, and he looked a little weird in broad daylight.

The man in black was in the air, and his flying leg kicked at the officer who was shooting, and the leg was so fast and so fast that he kicked the officer out of his horse, and fell heavily on the shore, and fainted when he landed, and the bow and arrow in his hand were thrown into the river.

When the mount saw that its master was not there, he loosened his body, turned around and ran into the woods. The man in black fell to the ground, saw the horse galloping into the woods, tiptoe, and jumped up, he jumped two or three feet away, just touched the horse's tail, only to see his palm stretched, quickly grabbed the mane on the horse's tail, his body was dragged by the horse's running power, it flew up like a kite, his wrist was retracted, as soon as he exerted his strength, his body flew out diagonally, and landed firmly on the horse's back.

As soon as he landed on the horse's back, he reached out and grasped the reins of the horse, and with all his strength he gathered it in his pocket, and the horse neighed, turned around, and galloped again to the river.

At this time, there were already two or three Qing soldiers swimming in the water to approach Luo Yuxuan, two of them were busy rescuing the officers who had fainted, and the rest of them were chasing along the river with knives and guns in their hands.

Luo Yuxuan seemed to have lost consciousness, only drifting with the water, and then separated by more than ten zhang, the river was a bend, the river became cramped, and the Qing soldiers on both sides of the bank were gradually approaching, and Luo Yuxuan could easily intercept it. Seeing Luo Yuxuan jumping into the river and escaping, Deputy Lieutenant Shi thought that this person was different from ordinary people, and concluded that even if he was not a thief, he must have a great relationship with the thief, so he immediately shouted an order, and he took the lead and rushed to the front.

Seeing that the situation was critical, the man in black galloped quickly, rushed to the back of those Qing soldiers in an instant, raised the knife that he had picked up from the ground, galloped over, the sword flashed, and in a moment he waved his sword like a rainbow, and killed all the Qing soldiers chasing along the coast.

The three Qing soldiers in the river had already approached Luo Yuxuan, slowly surrounding him, and they were about to catch him. The man in black rode along the coast, saw this, raised his hands, only to see the white light flashing, three flying knives like lightning straight towards the three Qing soldiers, his three flying knives at the same time, the horse was galloping, but the three flying knives seemed to have eyes, and attacked the three people. Only a few screams were heard, and the three flying knives were shot into the back of the hearts of the three Qing soldiers, deep into the body.

The three Qing soldiers struggled in the water for a few times, and then did not move, and were swept away by the river in the blink of an eye.

On the other side of the river, Deputy Lieutenant Shi and all the Qing soldiers had seen the situation on this side clearly, and suddenly a man in black fell from the sky, his martial arts were surprisingly high, or with a knife, or with a hidden weapon, and killed more than a dozen Qing soldiers in just a gesture. Deputy Lieutenant Shi was about to catch Luo Yuxuan, but unexpectedly, such a person appeared in the horizontal block, and he broke more than a dozen of his subordinates, and he didn't dare to chase after him, so he immediately ordered all the Qing soldiers to bend their bows and arrows, and all of them shot at the black-clothed man on the other side of the shore.

At this time, the two weeks were only five or six feet apart, and they had reached the bend of the river. The man in black flew off his horse and was just about to jump into the river to rescue Luo Yuxuan, but he saw feather arrows flying towards him like locusts, and immediately rolled on the spot, stretched out his hands and pulled them in the air for a while, and threw those arrows away, and the rest was already full of hands in his hands.

Deputy Lieutenant Shi on the other side was shocked, and the black-clothed man stood up, raised the feather arrow in his hand, and shouted: "Tartar with a thousand swords, how many arrows are there to shoot at your aunt and grandmother!"

The voice was crisp and moving, and it sounded like a young woman.
