Chapter 121: Like a Dream

Gu Shenwei picked a blade of grass and chewed it in his mouth, resisting the attack of exhaustion with the bitter taste.

The sun rises high, the chirping of insects makes people drowsy, and the sound of rushing water is also annoying, and Gu Shenwei has a familiar sense of loss in his heart, which is like this before every action, his suspicious personality often goes to the extreme, and he feels that the plan is full of loopholes, and the chance of success is one in ten thousand.

But the arrow was already on the string, and Gu Shenwei's feeling of falling due to tension in his lower abdomen even drove away the hunger that had been entrenched for a long time.

This is what he has to do, without Shangguan Ru, he will not be able to return to Jinpeng Castle, and revenge is becoming more and more hopeless, not to mention that among the people who were kidnapped there was also his most important ally Henu.

Soon after the afternoon, the boy killer and others finally arrived.

There were still three captors, women in robes, not black, but red, with five captives in their arms, and they could be seen from afar, but they were all on horseback.

This was not within the scope of Gu Shenwei's expectations, he followed the footprints for four days, and had long since determined that the hijackers were on foot, without considering that the stronghold of the Great Wilderness Gate might provide horses.

There is no time for the trap to change, and the original plan cannot be abandoned.

Two red-robed women rode in front, followed by five captives on foot, and another red-robed woman behind her.

More than 100 steps away from the river bank, the terrain descends steeply, rises again and again, and the vegetation on both sides is luxuriant, completely covering a path, and pedestrians have to walk through the grass.

The first woman in a red robe walked by, unable to see the horse, half of her body exposed, and the second woman in a red robe followed.

An arrow shot from the grass struck the second red-robed woman in the calf, pierced through the muscles, and stabbed into the horse's body, causing the mount to neigh, and leap forward, knocking the horse in front of him to the side.

The arrow was supposed to hit the target's heart.

There was an arm crossbow in the grass, a branch attached to the crossbow machine, and a straw stick at the end, ten paces away, Gu Shenwei controlled the timing of the launch, just for this, he practiced for an hour, but only injured the enemy's calf.

Gu Shenwei rehearsed the entire plan countless times, and as soon as the arm crossbow was launched, he immediately stood up, picked up the short bow and arrow beside him, and shot at the first red-robed woman.

The red-robed woman in the front had already been tricked, jumped and pounced on the arm crossbow, and when she landed on the ground, she was hit by an arrow, screamed, fell, and did not die, Huan Nu's archery skills were still far worse than Liuhua.

The red-robed woman at the back jumped several times in a row, and had already reached Gu Shenwei's body a few steps in front of her, her skinny fingers grabbing at the ambusher like eagle claws.

Gu Shenwei threw away the short bow, and the narrow knife was already out of its sheath and stuck in the grass at his feet.

The tip of the knife is raised diagonally, and the speed is so fast, in the eyes of outsiders, it is not Huanhuan who stabs at the enemy, but the enemy who actively crashes into the tip of the knife.

This was the only perfect blow in the entire plan, and the red-robed woman was stabbed in the neck and fell to the ground.

Gu Shenwei had five more blood marks on his chest, and the red-robed woman's martial arts were not weak, and she still made a move before she died.

The second red-robed woman's calves were connected to the horse's body, and she didn't look back, drove the horse straight forward, and after a while, she crossed the river and ran away.

"Huan Nu!"

The incident happened suddenly, and the five teenagers who were captured did not react until Gu Shenwei killed one person with a narrow knife, and Shangguan Yushi was the first to shout, his voice full of horror.

"You're not dead?" Shangguan Ru then exclaimed, more joy than surprise.

"I'm not dead. Gu Shenwei first went to the grass to check on the woman who was not dead by the arrow, the arrow hit the lower abdomen, and the woman in the red robe was lying on her back, panting with her mouth open, and she had lost the ability to resist.

Then he cut the ropes from the boys one by one.

Compared with the five captives, Huan Nu seemed to have suffered more, his clothes were tattered, his face was covered with dust and sand, his hair was covered with grass clippings, his feet were barefoot, and his shoes were long gone.

The captured young man was fully clothed and footed, but his body was slightly stagnant, as if he had lost his internal strength.

After the surprise of being rescued, the teenagers showed their anger, and Shangguan Yushi snatched the narrow knife from Huan Nu's hand, preparing to kill the injured woman.

"Keep your mouth alive. Gu Shenwei shouted.

"Why?"

"You have to ask where they come from. ”

"Hmph, no, I know that clearly. ”

Shangguan Yu killed the wounded and cut off two more heads, which were important trophies that she had to take back.

Gu Shenwei actually has an unspeakable reason, the woman of the Great Wilderness Gate may know how to remove the "Eight Desolation Finger Force", but even if he stays alive, he will not have the opportunity to interrogate alone.

The capture of the five-year-old teenager was purely accidental.

The three earthen houses in the oasis are the places where the Great Wilderness Gate trains junior disciples, a total of eight disciples, with average martial arts, all died under the swords of the young people of Jinpeng Castle, and there is also a master who died at the hands of Gu Shen in the underground secret room.

The other three red-robed women went there for routine inspections, and the teenagers would not bump into them if they went late and early.

As Gu Shen expected, they used the drug, and it was the "Compassion San" that Jinpeng Castle promised to never use again, compared with the nameless drug in Stone Castle, the "Compassion San" lasted longer, the red-robed women mixed it in the rice and forced the captives to take it every meal, if it wasn't for Gu Shenwei to save people in time, in another ten days, the internal strength of the teenagers would begin to degrade until it completely disappeared.

The Great Wilderness Gate and Jinpeng Fort are feuds, the grudge lasted for decades, Shangguan Ru knew a little bit about the origin of this sect, it is said that the Great Wilderness Gate was a subordinate of Jinpeng Castle, betrayed during the period of the fifth generation of Dubu King, set up his own door, and was almost completely wiped out by the sixth generation of Dubu King.

However, a few years later, the Great Wilderness Gate revived, and several masters emerged, and the vendetta of the two killer gangs affected the stability of the entire Western Regions, and finally several powerful kings came forward to demand a truce between the two sides.

In the Four Noble Truths outside Biyu City, Jinpeng Fort made an inviolable agreement with the Great Wilderness Gate, and Jinpeng Fort promised not to use assassination methods such as "Compassion San" again, so that he could stay in Biyu City, and the Great Wilderness Gate voluntarily retreated into the desert.

At that time, few people remember the details, in short, the Great Wilderness Gate disappeared from the rivers and lakes, and it did not appear again for decades.

As for why they left the desert and re-emerged, and why they had to force the people of Jinpeng Fort to go south into the desert, none of the teenagers understood.

The three red-robed women were overjoyed to find out that there was the daughter of King Dubu among the captives, and immediately left with the five teenagers, and as for the teenager who fell into the trap, they took it for granted that the master could kill him, so they ignored him.

"The Great Wilderness Gate is treacherous, and my father will definitely kill them all. Shangguan Ru said indignantly that she only remembered the matter of the Great Wilderness Sect during the trial, and had never connected the black-robed woman with this sect that had disappeared for many years.

Only Gu Shenwei and the Lotus Girl knew that this was not the first time that the disciples of the Great Wilderness Sect had left the desert, and Xue Niang had even infiltrated Jinpeng Castle.

Naturally, several teenagers couldn't take revenge, and ran away with a red-robed woman, adding to the danger.

Both horses ran away, and the boys had to walk and drink a lot of water by the river, which was one of the most effective means of dissolving the "compassion dispersion", and then crossed the river, walked along the river bank to the west for a while, and then turned southwest, hoping to reach the border of Biyu City.

No one knows how far this road is.

Among the six people, only Gu Shenwei was equipped with a narrow knife, Liuhua took back his favorite short bow, and he didn't say a word of thanks, the arm crossbow was handed over to Shangguan Ru, and the longbow was returned to Shangguan Yu, but there were less than twenty arrows in total.

Gu Shen gave the dagger to the lotus girl, and the wild horse could only be bare-handed.

They didn't dare to stay, they marched all night, looking at the dark southern mountains to determine the direction, until noon the next day, they didn't rest until noon the next day, Gu Shenwei felt that he had just closed his eyes and was woken up, Liuhua hunted a few birds, everyone divided and ate them, raw flesh and blood into the stomach, temporarily covering up hunger.

Although the internal strength of several people has recovered, it is not of much help to walk.

On the night of the third day, the first person who couldn't support it was Shangguan Ru, she was too young, and she hadn't suffered, she couldn't bear this intensity of urgency, she had been holding on for a long time, she really didn't have the strength to go down, the other five people took turns to carry the ten sons on their backs and walked for a while, when Shangguan Ru decided to rest no matter what, everyone was relieved.

Starting with the Mustang, four Brown-Belt Killers take turns keeping sentry.

Gu Shenwei was the last, he sat in a bush on the high ground, enduring the lingering sleepiness and the bites of small insects, looking at the crescent moon gradually leaning westward, his mind seemed to be frozen, and he couldn't squeeze in the simplest thoughts.

He felt that he was asleep, but the scene before him did not change in the slightest, but he no longer felt sleepy, and his mood was peaceful and pleasant, as if floating in the clouds, and the cacophony of flying insects disappeared, replaced by the whisper of the wind blowing the grass tips and the ethereal sound of the flute.

He wondered why he heard it in his dreams when he didn't like instruments like the flute.

He lifted himself up, trying to sweep away the false night scene in front of him, and after a few failed attempts, he propped his eyelids open with his fingers.

It's still the same scene, but the crescent moon fades, and the morning light on the horizon is slightly dewed.

A tall woman walked over, bent down, and smiled.

Gu Shenwei didn't know her, but the smile was like a spring breeze when the ice and snow had not melted, which made people feel warm, and he unconsciously relaxed his vigilance, so he also let the other party point on his chest with a weak smile.

Gu Shenwei closed his eyes and fell asleep again, without worry, not even dreaming.

When he woke up, Chaoyang was already one person tall, and Shangguan Yu complained that he was not serious about his sentry, but everyone slept very hard, and no one woke up in time.

"A woman came last night......," Gu Shenwei said, but as soon as the words came out, he felt that it was just a dream, and it made people laugh when he said it.

Sure enough, Shangguan Yushi snorted disdainfully, three days was enough time for her to forget Huan Nu's life-saving grace, "Where did you come from, you are afraid of the Great Wilderness Gate and have nightmares." ”

The others also shook their heads, indicating that they were calm and fine, Shangguan Ru regained his energy a little, and asked with a smile, "Who did you dream of?" ”

Gu Shenwei squeezed out a smile, "I don't remember." ”

In fact, he remembered, he remembered the woman's face, the beauty was amazing, the facial features were clear, but it was extremely unfamiliar, and it was by no means a picture imagined in a dream.
