Chapter 21: Quicksand in the Night
I've been busy looking for a job recently, and now I'm making it back, and I'm changing it every day, I hope you understand!
A few days passed in a hurry, and it was said that Qin Zhan was living an addiction to being an old grandfather, but Tianming and Gai Nie were running all the way, and they were already extremely tired.
Moreover, although Gai Nie escaped an injury because of Qin Zhan, in the end, the empire sent more than one person, and the black swordsman Shengqi was one of them.
This warrior who can abandon everything for the sake of victory may not be as good as Gai Nie in a solo fight, but when another Tianming is added between the two, the result is very obvious, Gai Nie is still injured after all, although the injury is much lighter than in the original book.
And after several days of running and fleeing, this kind of injury is still getting worse at a considerable rate, just to not let Tianming worry, Gai Nie endured it and didn't say anything.
On this day, the road was bumpy, and Gai Nie Tianming and the others finally felt the outside of Xiang's mountain village, and Tianming still recklessly touched the Xiang family's police sign.
"Ahh
"Tianming, we have to get out of here quickly!" Gai Nie's face was a little pale, he stretched out his hand to pull Tianming behind him, and the vigilance in his heart immediately mentioned the highest, he was not like Tianming who had no experience in the rivers and lakes, knowing that this thing was not far from ten is a vigilant sign, and if this sound is not good, it will let the enemy chasing them find them.
Looking at Gai Nie's reaction, Tianming didn't know that it was because he had lit the fireworks, so he immediately lowered his head and said, "Uncle, am I in trouble again?"
Gai Nie's expression was solemn, carefully paying attention to the movements around him, and when he heard this, he immediately comforted: "Tianming, it's not terrible to make a mistake, the important thing is that you remember not to make the same mistake next time." ”
Tianming clenched his fists vigorously, nodded and said, "Well, uncle, I know!"
Gai Nie nodded, suddenly arched his hand towards the woods around him, and said softly: "I don't know where people are coming, I have no intention of breaking into here, please forgive me, if it is inconvenient, leave this place immediately!"
Tianming was surprised in his heart, wondering where there were other people here, sticking his head out from behind Gai Nie, and looking at the surrounding woods with wide eyes.
The children of the Xiang family were already living in exile, and they were usually afraid that some Qin State spies would find out here, but now when they heard that Gai Nie was about to leave, they were willing to follow.
"Don't move!" everyone rushed out of the woods and swarmed up, and dozens of people immediately surrounded the two of them.
Seeing a group of people dressed up and speaking with an accent, Gai Nie immediately knew that these people should have nothing to do with the Qin State, and he immediately breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.
It's not that he's really afraid of these people, it's just that because of his injury, he still has to protect Tianming, and it's naturally best if he doesn't fight.
Tianming didn't know these things, he saw that these people around them were just little minions, and immediately dared to ask, "Who are you, why did you stop me and my uncle?"
Who would have thought that as soon as he finished speaking, he heard a sentence from the woods: "I should have asked you these words, right?"
When Gai Nie Tianming heard this, he saw that the people around them took the initiative to get out of the way, and a heroic young man in blue and a sturdy middle-aged man in yellow walked out of it, not Xiang Liang or Xiang Yu.
After Xiang Yu saw the situation in the field clearly, he found that the person who was talking to him just now was actually a teenager the same size as himself, and he didn't know if it was really fate, or Tianming looked very happy, in short, he immediately had a good impression of Tianming, and couldn't help but want to tease the other party.
At this moment, Xiang Liang hurriedly grabbed him and stopped him from stepping forward, and reminded at the same time: "Shaoyu, be careful, these two people are a little strange, and you can see the sword in the swordsman's hand." ”
However, in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, there was an insurmountable gap between nobles and commoners, and this habit has penetrated into all aspects of clothing, food, housing and transportation, and the casting of weapons is naturally the same.
As a nobleman of the Chu State, Xiang Liang naturally saw at a glance the difference in the sword held in Gai Nie's hand, it was a proper sword of the princes, and it was not something that ordinary people were qualified to cast.
Xiang Yu didn't notice this at the beginning, but after Xiang Liang's reminder, he naturally quickly discovered that something was wrong, and immediately stopped.
He is very brave and good, but this does not mean that he is a fool, this kind of person with a sword in his hand, no one dared to underestimate it from a long time ago.
After all, there are all enemies within three feet, and the horseman is angry and blood is splashed five steps, which is really not a joke.
Not to mention far, let's just say that Jing Ke's assassination of Qin, which has been rumored in recent years, is not the most real example.
"What happened here just now, and who are you?" Xiang Liang asked Gai Nie, his eyes were very vigilant, and he was ready to let these people rush up if he was a little careless.
Gai Nie stopped Tianming, who wanted to speak, and hugged his fist at Xiang Liang and said: "In Xia Gai Nie, I just passed by here, and I accidentally lit the fireworks when I lit the fire, but I don't want to touch Your Excellency's organ, please forgive me!"
"What? You're the Sword Saint Gai Nie?"
After hearing his words, everyone around them was startled and screamed, subconsciously took a few steps back, and hurriedly protected Xiang Liang and Xiang Yu in the middle.
It was no wonder that they were so surprised, because the name of Gai Nie Sword Saint was not sealed by himself, and it was not an exaggeration to say that he came out of the sea of corpses and blood.
After all, during the Warring States period, almost nine out of ten of all those who practiced martial arts practiced swordsmanship, and there were at least hundreds of people who wanted to fight against Gai Nie, and in the end they all died, but Gai Nie was still alive.
"Your Excellency need not be alarmed, for it is no longer in the service of the Empire. When Gai Nie saw them as if they were facing a great enemy, he knew that they were thinking of a fork, so he explained.
Of course, Xiang Liang and the others would not believe them just because of Gai Nie's words, but they were relieved in their hearts, to be honest, they were really a little worried about Gai Nie now.
Thinking like this, he first hugged Gai Nie, and then calmed the emotions of the surrounding children, and said, "In this way, everything in the fire meteor just now was a misunderstanding, it should be Mr. Gai that accidentally lit the fireworks when they lit the fire." ”
As soon as he finished speaking, the expression on Gai Nie's face suddenly became extremely serious, and he hurriedly pulled Tianming behind him, and at the same time did not forget to remind him loudly: "Everyone be careful, there is an enemy approaching." ”
The children of the Xiang family were stunned when they heard this, but fortunately, the careful Xiang Yu found that a brother on duty had not appeared, and he immediately believed Gai Nie's words and shouted: "There is an enemy, everyone be careful!"
As soon as everyone reacted, they felt a series of vibrations from the earth, and then they saw a big man carrying a person dressed the same as the children of the Xiang family, jumping directly over their heads and landing in the center of the field.
The big man was bald, the upper body of the **** was wrapped around a thick iron chain, his physique was extremely strong, and his height was almost twice that of ordinary people.
"Peerless ghost, quicksand in the dark night, Xiaozhuang, you are here too!" Gai Nie's eyes lowered, and the hand holding the sword tightened suddenly.
