Chapter 19: The Line Between Life and Death
Orchid Valley, a paradise, is also a place with many beautiful women.
Many young talents in the rivers and lakes have come to Orchid Valley to seek marriage, but few of them have succeeded.
Because Orchid Valley stipulates that men are not allowed to enter, if you want to ask for a matchmaker, you must have a matchmaker, and this matchmaker cannot be an ordinary matchmaker.
There were also people who wanted to force their way into the valley, most of them were driven out of the Orchid Valley, and the rest died in the Orchid Valley.
On the third day after Ragged Clothes, Liu Biao, and Li Yan left Sioux City, it was close to noon, and they finally arrived at Orchid Valley.
As soon as they arrived at the entrance of Orchid Valley, the three of them saw that there were many people in the two pavilions not far ahead.
Most of them are handsome men with gifts, beautiful looks, and very handsome.
His face was slightly anxious and apprehensive, which made Ragged and Liu Biao very puzzled.
However, Li Yan smiled after seeing it: "What a coincidence that we came, just in time for the annual courtship meeting in Orchid Valley." ”
"Brother Li, what are you talking about? Asking for marriage? Yes, these people are all coming to Orchid Valley to ask for marriage?" Rags was very surprised, there were more than 20 people there, and there were so many girls in Orchid Valley to be married?
Li Yan knew what he was thinking as soon as he saw the rags, and Li Yan said: "Don't think that there are so many girls to marry in Orchid Valley, the competition between them and more than 20 people is very fierce. ”
"Why?"
Liu Biao asked.
"More than 20 men compete for three girls, do you think it can not be fierce?" Li Yan said with a smile.
"I drip, it was so intense, I can imagine the scene, desolate, desolate. Ragged shook his head slightly and said, but Ragged suddenly said, "Then what should we do? How do we get in? Otherwise, let's wait for the eldest brother." ”
Liu Biao also nodded, agreeing with the proposal of rags.
Li Yan also had this idea, but at this time, he said with a smile: "Otherwise, let's pretend to ask for a kiss and get in first." ”
Li Yan smiled in surprise and said: "Brother in rags, you are really whimsical, if you want to go in, you have to be selected, and asking for marriage is not something that you can ask for, if you go to Orchid Valley to ask for marriage, you must have a righteous predecessor with good conduct to be a matchmaker." ”
"Is it so troublesome?
"Not to mention fairies, but it's also very beautiful, okay, this strategy won't work, let's wait for Xiao Qi." Li Yan said.
Liu Biao and ragged clothes nodded slightly.
"Okay, that's all. ”
Ten miles east of Orchid Valley, a bamboo forest, Bai Xiaoqi and Concubine Shi Ru rode in a carriage, moving forward without hurry.
Suddenly, Bai Xiaoqi's ears moved, and his face froze.
"Tuk Tuk ......."
"Teacher, sit tight. Bai Xiaoqi shouted.
Concubine Shi Ru asked suspiciously, "What's wrong?"
"There is the sound of horses' hooves galloping behind, it should be chasing us, we are still ten miles away from the Orchid Valley, we have to speed up, it is not good to be overtaken. Bai Xiaoqi explained, and with a whip of the horse, the horse accelerated sharply.
Concubine Shi Ru understands that the situation is urgent, if there are people behind them, such as the Soul Hook Shuangsha or Zhong Younian, the cult protector and others, they will definitely die, so for the sake of safety, it is best to go.
"Driving~~~"
"Chase, don't let them run. ”
Zhong Younian came with a group of people chasing after him, he kept twitching the horsewhip, and the horse galloped quickly.
A quarter of an hour later, Zhong Younian had already seen Bai Xiaoqi and their carriage.
Concubine Shi Ru also heard the sound of galloping horses' hooves, and at this time she was also puzzled, Bai Xiaoqi actually heard the movement a quarter of an hour ago, is his ear power so good?
This is also Bai Xiaoqi's urgency, and his ears suddenly grow, and he himself doesn't know what is going on.
He couldn't explain some strange things that had happened to him recently, and he couldn't figure out why.
"Whoa........
After Zhong Younian saw the carriage, he chased for more than a dozen breaths, and when he was less than thirty meters close to the carriage, Zhong Younian jumped and quickly leaped away with light skills.
"Wow........ Qiang ........"
Zhong Younian pulled out the big knife and slashed it down, and the knife qi directly and quickly divided the carriage into two.
Concubine Shi Ru in the carriage was almost killed by the sword qi, but fortunately, Bai Xiaoqi was quick-eyed, grabbed Concubine Shi Ru, leaped on the horse's back, and the two rode a horse one after the other.
Concubine Shi Ru leaned on Bai Xiaoqi's arms, and now she didn't care about the difference between men and women, so it was important to run for her life.
"Boy, you can't escape today. Zhong Younian shouted.
Bai Xiaoqi didn't say a word, grabbed the reins, and shouted: "Drive~~~"
"Tuk Tuk ........"
The horses galloped on their legs, and without the restraints of the carriage, their speed increased a little.
Behind him, Zhong Younian was furious, and immediately jumped on the horse, his legs shook, and with a loud shout, the horse also galloped away.
"Damn, he's catching up again, and we're both on the same horse, not as fast as he is. Bai Xiaoqi scolded, he was also in a hurry, if he was caught up with the two of them, he would be finished.
He doesn't know martial arts, and against masters, he is not an opponent at all.
Concubine Shi Ru was injured and twisted her foot, so she was not Zhong Younian's opponent, so she was not an opponent.
How to calculate. Neither escaped death.
The most important thing now is to be able to enter the Orchid Valley before they are overtaken, so that they still have a chance to live.
At this moment, Zhong Younian also found out that something was wrong, they were going to Orchid Valley.
Zhong Younian knew that Orchid Valley was not easy to mess with, although he was the head of the Dao Sect, he had to be in awe of Orchid Valley.
"Stinky boy, I want to run for my life in Orchid Valley, delusional. Zhong Younian snorted coldly and sped up.
The distance between the two horses is getting closer and closer, and the lives of Bai Xiaoqi and Concubine Shi Ru are becoming more and more dangerous.
"Bai Xiaoqi, you let me go, you can escape alone. Concubine Shi Ru said at this time, her voice was soft, very gentle.
Bai Xiaoqi said loudly: "What nonsense are you talking about, do you regard me Bai Xiaoqi as a person who is greedy for life and afraid of death? I am not so shameless, I can't do it if I leave a girl to run for my life, don't you do stupid things, do you hear?" ”
Concubine Shi Ru's heart warmed, the corners of her mouth rose slightly, and she smiled lightly, "um" lightly, and then said, "Got it." ”
Bai Xiaoqi didn't respond, he kept whipping the horse, the horse was already running fast, and there was no way to be fast.
After all, it's just an ordinary horse.
"Suffer death. ”
At this moment, a murderous cheer behind him came into the ears of Bai Xiaoqi and Concubine Shi Ru.
A powerful sword aura rushed to kill.
Bai Xiaoqi and Concubine Shi Ru shrank the pores all over their bodies, and the danger had arrived.
"Bang!"
"Ugh....... Poof........"
The knife qi directly slashed Bai Xiaoqi's back, and Bai Xiaoqi immediately spurted out a mouthful of blood.
Concubine Shi Ru was very worried, and exclaimed, "Bai Xiaoqi, are you okay?"
"Dead ........ Can't die, don't worry, drive ......."
Bai Xiaoqi's face was very ugly, but his tone was relatively weak.
Concubine Shi Ru was anxious, if it continued like this, both of them would die here, and at this time, she came up with the idea of dismounting to intercept Zhong Younian and let Bai Xiaoqi escape.
"Don't think about it, do you hear me, we'll be fine. Bai Xiaoqi approached Concubine Shi Ru's ear and whispered, Concubine Shi Ru's body was soft, and her heart was warm, so she could only nod slightly and stop thinking about it.
"It's so hard, this knife didn't kill him. ”
Zhong Younian scolded angrily, looking at the long knife edge behind Bai Xiaoqi, and was surprised in his heart.
But although he failed to kill Bai Xiaoqi, Bai Xiaoqi's speed on the horse was not as fast as before, and in less than twenty breaths, Zhong Younian laughed, the horse whip was raised, and the distance was getting closer and closer.
Concubine Shi Ru also knew that the situation was not good, she grabbed the reins at this moment, drove the horse, and the horse continued to run.
But after running less than twenty meters, Bai Xiaoqi's body began to tilt slightly, and Concubine Shi Ru felt bad and worried.
"Puff ........"
Bai Xiaoqi fell off the horse, Concubine Shi Ru immediately grabbed the reins and made the horse stop, she didn't care about the pain in her feet, she jumped off the horse and ran to Bai Xiaoqi's side, and just helped Bai Xiaoqi feel injured and slimy.
Concubine Shi Ru looked down and saw that her hands were full of blood, and then at Bai Xiaoqi, her face was pale and she had lost too much blood.
"Bai Xiaoqi, Bai Xiaoqi, wake up, wake up, wake up........"
"Tuk Tuk ........."
Concubine Shi Ru's shout, Bai Xiaoqi couldn't hear it, he had already fainted, and this time Zhong Younian had arrived, seeing Bai Xiaoqi and Concubine Shi Ru, he grabbed the reins and stopped the horse.
"Smack. ”
Zhong Younian jumped down, his feet hit the ground, and he walked towards Concubine Shi Ru and Bai Xiaoqi step by step.
"You are doomed to die, you want to run, where can you run? hum........ I'll give you a ride. ”
Zhong Younian's face was murderous, the knife had been raised, and the knife flickered, and Concubine Shi Ru's heart was horizontal, and she had to fight to the death.
Concubine Shi Ru jumped up with all her strength, slapped it with one palm, Zhong Younian waved her knife to resist, and her arm shook, Concubine Shi Ru was shocked back by an internal force, and blood overflowed from her mouth.
"Do you still want to resist, and still don't accept your fate?" Zhong Younian said coldly.
After that, without much to say, the knife was horizontal and killed Concubine Shiru.
Concubine Shi Ru watched Zhong Younian kill herself, she also knew that it was useless to resist, forget it, she would die.
Before dying, Concubine Shi Ru took one last look at Bai Xiaoqi, and then smiled and waited for Zhong Younian's killing knife.
