Chapter 26: Engagement
After a while, Su Mu came out of the darkness.
"How's it going?" asked Liu Daoxuan.
"There is no danger around for the time being. Su Mu said as he walked to the side and sat down cross-legged.
Ji Yan didn't get close to Su Mu anymore, but continued to talk and laugh with Jiang Rui.
An hour later, Liu Daoxuan walked up to Ji Yan and said, "Miss, you should rest." ”
Ji Yan looked up at the moon hanging above and said, "Is it already late?" Okay, then Jiang Shaoxia good night." He walked to the carriage.
Jiang Rui smiled and waved his hand and said, "Good night, Miss Yan'er." ”
The cold wind blew across Su Mu's cheeks, and Liu Daoxuan walked over and said, "You rest first, I will keep vigil today." ”
"Hmm. After saying that, Su Mu walked into the tent and began to continue to accumulate sword momentum cross-legged and comprehend the way of the sword.
It was already morning when I opened my eyes again, and after eating a little dry food, I found a vacant lot to practice swordsmanship and palm skills.
"It's gone. Liu Daoxuan shouted at Su Mu.
When the group came to a forest, Liu Daoxuan came to Su Mu's side and whispered: "Su Zhu, as long as you pass through this forest and walk for another day, you can reach Kyoto, but according to my investigation, there is a group of rebels entrenched in this forest, so be careful." ”
"Hmm. After answering, he untied the bamboo white sword and held it in his left hand, and after doing this, he kept looking nearby.
Everyone walked slowly, and the wind rustled through the leaves.
"Not true. Su Mu stopped, his gaze swept around.
"What's wrong?" Liu Daoxuan and Jiang Rui turned their heads to look, and the two asked suspiciously, and Ji Yan also poked her head out to look at Su Mu.
"It's too quiet, Miss, please dismount. Su Mu ignored them, just put his hand on the hilt of his sword and reminded.
Liu Daoxuan also noticed that something was wrong and quickly walked towards Ji Yan, helped her off the horse, and pulled out his long sword to protect her behind him, Jiang Rui also reacted at that time, and quickly approached Ji Yan, and Liu Daoxuan protected Ji Yan one after another.
Su Mu slowly spoke: "Since you're here, why don't you show up and see it." ”
"Hahaha, you really have some skills. A man walked out.
I saw that he was holding a hundred refining knives and wearing armor, and when he came out, soldiers in standard leather armor sprang out of the surrounding grass, and it was estimated that there were more than 20 people, and they surrounded Su Mu and a few people at once.
Su Mu nodded to Liu Daoxuan and quickly drew his sword and rushed towards the armored man, while Liu Daoxuan rushed towards the nearby soldiers.
Before the armored man could react, Su Mu had already arrived in front of him, and without talking nonsense with him, he directly used the [Heaven Cutting Technique], and a trace of Heaven Cutting intent burst out from the bamboo white sword.
A sword directly slashed the armored man back, and the armor on his body instantly cracked a huge sword mark, oozing blood from it.
"Ahh
"So weak?" Su Mu was puzzled in his heart, only to see a figure flash, punching himself, Su Mu quickly stabbed out a sword, the sound of the bell came, he and the figure both took a few steps back, looking straight ahead, until the man raised his head.
"So you're their leader, old horse. Su Mu smiled and said.
"Hahaha! That's right, it's me, I, Ma Zhenshan, am the one who came to kill the daughter of the old ghost Ji. The old horse grinned.
"I don't want to know what grievances you have with her, I just know that she is my employer, and whoever kills her, I kill whom. Su Mu looked at Ma Zhenshan lightly.
Quickly the two of them attacked each other in unison, Su Mu ran the [Wind Chasing Step] and performed the [Heaven Cutting Technique] to slash forward, while Ma Zhenshan shook his fist the size of a sandbag and smashed it towards Su Mu.
"Bang!" Su Mu and Ma Zhenshan each took two steps back, and Ma Zhenshan spat out a mouthful of blood and continued to maintain a fist clenching posture.
Su Mu ran again, Ma Zhenshan smashed his fists into Zhubai, Su Mu sword blade turned and stabbed him in the chest, Ma Zhenshan was just about to withdraw his fist to resist, but it was too late, only to see that a blood hole had been stabbed in his chest.
He took a few steps backwards again and again, drops of blood dripping from his chest, only to see him raise his head and roar: "Why?!God, you can't let me kill Old Ghost Ji, why don't you let me kill his daughter, why, why, poof!" spit out a mouthful of blood and slowly fell to the ground.
Su Mu didn't look at him again, but turned around to help Liu Daoxuan and the others, but fortunately, those soldiers were not very powerful, and they were killed by the three of them at once.
Su Mu shook the bamboo white sword, and a few drops of blood were thrown away from the tip of the sword, and then returned it to the sheath.
Ji Yan ran over and said to Su Mu: "Thank you little brother Su, if it weren't for you this time, I'm afraid my sister would have been killed by Lao Ma." ”
"It should be done. ”
After speaking, Liu Daoxuan also walked over and nodded to Su Mu to show his gratitude, and then said to Ji Yan, "Miss, are you okay?"
"I'm fine, thanks to the three of you. Ji Yan replied with a smile.
"Alright, alright, let's get on the road. ”
After that, he helped Ji Yan onto the horse and began to act as a groom.
