At first the coachman didn't know what was wrong, but he always listened to the boss's words. Although he had doubts at this time, he still pulled the horse to a stop. The sudden silence made the sound of fighting in the distance gradually become clearer.
When the driver heard this voice, his face suddenly turned pale.
He turned his head tremblingly and looked behind him, and found that the owner was also sullen, and he didn't dare to make a sound. He could only hold his breath carefully, for fear that those in the distance would find them.
Gu Wuyou's little face was also a little pale.
But she was also a person who died once. Although she was afraid, she was not like a driver. She just held Li Qinyuan's hand firmly, pursed her lips, and said nothing.
"Savage,"
Li Qinyuan listened to the movement over there for a while, suppressed his voice and said to the people behind him, "I'll go take a look." As he said, he instructed the driver, "You and Madam first find a place to hide, no matter who comes over Don't make a sound until I get back."
There is no reason why the driver should not, and he nodded like a slammer.
Gu Wuyou refused, took the person's hand and whispered, "Don't go."
She was afraid that something would happen to him.
"Don't be afraid." Li Qinyuan held her face, looked into her eyes, and said with relief, "I'll go there alone, and I can easily handle anything. If I wait for them to come over..." I'm afraid they won't be able to recover. Return.
Seeing Gu Wuyou's brows knit together, Shui Yingying's eyes were full of worry.
He made another promise, "Don't worry, I'm just going to find out the news, and I won't let anything happen to me."
Gu Wuyou also knew that this was the best way, so he couldn't stop him any longer, so he could only pursed his lips and instructed: "Don't have an accident, if it's really dangerous, come back, let's go back..." Thinking of his last life in his previous life When she left, she clenched her sleeve tightly, looked at him, forcibly suppressed her emotions, but her voice became lower and lower, "Li Qinyuan, you have to remember, I'm still here waiting for you, you want to Come back safely."
"… it is good."
Li Qinyuan nodded solemnly and didn't say much. He took Gu Wuyou to hide in a dense grass to make sure that no one would find it. He also asked the driver to take good care of it, and then he set up a carriage to get away from them. , abandoned the carriage and walked towards the source of the sound.
He held the soft sword around his waist in his hand.
The closer he got to the fighting place, Li Qinyuan's face became more and more difficult to look at. The good bamboo forest was now filled with a strong bloody smell. From time to time, stumps and corpses could be seen on the ground. He pursed his thin lips and approached cautiously. there.
It's not entirely clear what's going on there.
He saw a big man covered in blood running towards him with a child in his arms.
The big man did not look like a Da Zhou person. He had a strong body and deep facial features. His blood-stained eyes flashed with blue light. , Obviously his steps have been swaying, and he can't support it anymore, but he still holds the child in his arms through gritted teeth.
The child was only six years old, with fair skin and very luxurious clothes, but now there was a lot of blood on his body. He seemed to be frightened. Don't speak.
Seeing these two people, Li Qinyuan frowned.
He didn't plan to appear, just wanted to hide himself to see if there were other people, but just stepped back, the big man seemed to find something, his face changed, and the sword in his hand stabbed him. come over.
Dahan's martial arts are strong, and even though he was seriously injured, the strong wind that stabbed was not damaged at all. Fortunately, Li Qinyuan was strong and strong, so he immediately ducked to the side and was not stabbed by the sword.
It's just that the previously hidden figure is exposed at this time.
The big man saw Li Qinyuan's appearance, his face changed slightly, he seemed hesitant, the sword in his hand did not loosen, but he did not stab at this time, but stood at a safe distance and frowned at the man. Dressed luxuriously, "Are you in the same group as those people?"
those people
Li Qinyuan's heart moved, but his face did not show it. Just as he was about to speak, he saw an arrow stabbed not far away.
"Be careful!" he warned aloud.
The big man also noticed it. He ducked to the side, and he would avoid the arrow. Knowing that his brothers might not hold up, his heart sank, and his face became even more ugly. Li Qinyuan in the distance, he performed a courtesy that was not a big week, "Thank you, Shaoxia."
After he finished speaking, he glanced at Li Qinyuan again, as if after some thought, he said, "I wonder if Young Hero can do me a favor."
He originally wanted to take the young master away from this place, but he was seriously injured and knew that he would not live long. He could only deal with the thieves first, and then entrust the young master to others...
Li Qinyuan pursed his lips without saying a word. He didn't want to participate in this fight, not to mention that this person was not from the Great Zhou Dynasty, and he could not tell whether he was an enemy or a friend. A child who knows what's going on.
He pursed his lips and said, "Let's go."
If this fight can't be resolved, I'm afraid that Manman will be implicated in the meeting. If these people are resolved quickly, he will be able to leave with Manman earlier.
While the two of them were talking, seven or eight thieves came over. They also suffered a lot of injuries. When they saw the big man and the child, their eyes burst into sharp light. Li Qinyuan.
Suddenly one more person appeared, causing the group of thieves to stop, and someone asked in a low voice, "Boss, this person..."
"What are you afraid of? He's just a stinky boy. Could it be that so many of us can't beat them?" the leading man scolded, "We've lost so many brothers, we mustn't let them run away!"
"Yes!"
The big man glanced at the child in his arms with complicated eyes, carefully put the person aside, then took the lead in rushing over with a sullen face, holding the sword.
In order to end this battle as soon as possible, he is completely desperate...
Li Qinyuan's eyes sank from behind, and he rushed over with his sword in hand.
Although he has never killed anyone, he came from a general family in the Li family. He also followed Li Cen to the military camp when he was young, and watched group training. He has never abandoned martial arts in these years. Flexible, not like that big man rampage.
One of the two faced the enemy head-on, the other attacked from the side, but the thieves were defeated.
Those bandits didn't expect these two to be so powerful.
They were originally gangsters who were kings of mountains. They spent so much effort this time, and they knew the identity of the child. That's why they thought of tying people up for a big deal, but they didn't expect the guards around the child to be so powerful. , damaged dozens of their brothers and almost let them escape.
"Big, big brother, why don't we run away." A man looked at the two people who looked like gods in the world, and he couldn't hold the long knife in his hand. He wanted money, but He wants to live more.
Life is gone, what's the use of more money
The man they called "big brother" actually had the intention of retreating long ago, but when he thought of the brothers he had damaged, as well as the brothers who fell one after another, if he had escaped like this, he would return to the cottage. Wasn't they ridiculed? He clenched the knife in his hand and cursed in a low voice: "Fool, do you think we can escape? Either they die, or we die!"
"You're right..."
The big man was still not very good at Dazhou dialect, and said in a weird tone, "Today either I will die, or you will die." He and Li Qinyuan worked together to get rid of the bandits around him, and charged directly at the leader with a sword. When he came over, his blue eyes turned red under the sunlight, as if they were also stained with blood from the corners of their eyes.
"You killed so many of my brothers. If you want to leave alive, there is no way!" He gritted his teeth, as if he was dying, he would cut anyone he saw.
When Li Qinyuan had completely dealt with those people and came over, the two thieves had already fallen down, with their eyes open, apparently still dead, and the big man knelt on one knee on the ground because of exhaustion, with the sword and pestle in his hand on the ground. , he lowered his head, gasping for breath.
"You, are you alright?" Li Qinyuan asked, standing behind him, frowning.
The big man shook his head, and just as he was about to speak, the child who had been sitting there, seemed to have finally woken up, and let out a harsh scream. Hearing this voice, the big man's face changed and he rushed over immediately.
He opened his mouth and said all the words Li Qinyuan could not understand.
The child was like crazy, with a pale face, and his little hands clenched into fists and smashed at the person. The big man who was brutal and cruel just now allowed the child to beat him. He didn't hide, just kept being soft The sound is soothing.
The child wasn't very strong, but the crazy fist hit the big man's wound. Looking at the big man's increasingly ugly face, Li Qinyuan frowned, walked over, grabbed the child's hand, and scolded with a sullen face. : "He suffered such a serious injury for you, is this how you repaid him?"
"… young man."
The big man looked embarrassed and wanted to let him go, but he was not able to speak directly because of his maintenance just now, so he could only say in a low voice, "My young master was just frightened.
Li Qinyuan was too lazy to pay attention to them. Seeing that one of them was willing to fight and the other was willing to suffer, he immediately let go. He stayed here for so long, and no one came again. He estimated that the fight was over, so he simply planned to leave.
But when the big man saw his movement, he hugged the child quickly and said, "Young Xia, I have one more thing to support."
Li Qinyuan guessed in his heart what he was going to say, kept walking, and said without turning his head, "We are not familiar with each other, and I have no obligation to help you."
"Young Xia—" The big man wanted to stop him again, but the long-term fight had already exhausted him, not to mention that he had tried his best to exhaust his efforts and spit out a mouthful of blood. He didn't stop Li Qinyuan, but let him The child recovered.
"Uncle Yuchi?"
When the child speaks Da Zhou's words, it is much clearer than the big man. I think it was because of someone who taught him since he was a child. At first, he was a little stunned by the blood on his hands. When he realized that it was the blood of the big man around him, he was still there. He couldn't stop coughing, and immediately burst into tears, "Uncle Yuchi, what's wrong with you, don't scare me."
"Master, I..."
Yuchi Wei was so angry that he wanted to comfort him, but his mouth was full of blood. After a while, he looked at the man and said, "Young master, you go and follow that young hero, and let him escort you to find the master. ."
"no, do not want… "
The child's white face is now either blood or tears, "I don't want anyone else, I just want you, Uncle Yuchi, don't die, I only have you."
Yu Chi Wei sighed when he heard this, why didn't he want to protect him? But he knew that his fate was over, and he had no energy to protect him from leaving... He raised his eyes and looked into the distance, where Li Qinyuan was no longer there. He sighed softly, looked away, and put his generous palm on the child's head. , instructed: "Master, I can't protect you. After this journey, you can only rely on yourself."
"This subordinate knows that you are smart. This place is not far from Jinling. You can go straight along the east."
"Be careful on your own, remember... don't reveal your identity any more."
They suffered this disaster this time because their identities were revealed. Yuchi Wei lamented in his heart, but he couldn't bear to blame him, so he could only coax in a hoarse voice: "If you want to find the master, you will be safe only if you find the master. "
Children only know how to cry and shake their heads.
Yuchi Wei still wanted to speak, but the light in front of him was suddenly blocked. He raised his head uncomfortably and saw Li Qinyuan in white clothes. Looking at him, seeing him look over, he just said in a light tone, "How do you want me to help you?"
"Young man, you—"
Yuchi Wei's gray and defeated eyes suddenly lit up, and he hurriedly said, "As long as I ask the young man to help me escort my young master to Jinling." Although Li Qinyuan helped him, he didn't know what the details of this person were. Naturally, I didn't dare to tell the whole story.
Done.
He let go of the child's hand and kowtowed three times with all his strength, "As long as my young master finds my master, he will definitely treat the young chivalrous well."
Li Qinyuan didn't care about those things, and when he went back and forth, he was just moved by this man's loyalty, "What about you?"
"I?"
The rough man was stunned for a moment, then grinned again, "You don't have to worry about me, I was originally a lowly life, I'm afraid I don't have much time, but unfortunately I can't go back to my homeland..." He was afraid that those thieves would have future generations. He hurriedly persuaded: "Young Xia, take my young master and leave. Those thieves' old nest is on the nearby mountain, I'm afraid they will come after a meeting."
Li Qinyuan's expression changed slightly when he heard this.
Although the bandit's martial arts skills are not high, he is better than many people. If he really pursues him, he will not be able to fight at all with his current situation.
The child refused and looked at Yuchi Wei with teary eyes.
"Master, let's go!"
No matter how reluctant Yuchiwei was, he could only sink his face at this moment, and said solemnly: "If something happens to you, the lives of our group will be wasted, go to Jinling to find the master, okay..." His eyes blushed and his voice became hoarse. , "Live."
Hearing this, the child's face was pale. He looked at Yuchiwei, but he didn't insist any longer. He got up and saluted the person, then gritted his teeth and followed Li Qinyuan's steps away.
Just after walking a few steps, he heard a movement behind him, a heavy sound like a man falling to the ground, startling the birds, he stopped, and just as he was about to turn back, he heard the man behind him say in a hoarse voice: "Don't look back, go!"
The child pursed his lips, but finally held back and didn't look back.
Li Qinyuan saw him crying just now, and he was no different from an ordinary child. He never thought that he would keep his lips pressed together and his face tensed. He was surprised, but he didn't say... Whose child is this, what identity he is, has nothing to do with him.
He was willing to take people away, but it was just to see the big man's face.
With Gu Wuyou in mind, he didn't stop at his feet and walked forward with big strides.
He took one step, and the child had to take two or three steps to catch up. It was fine at first, but the further back, the more difficult the child was. He stopped, put his hands on his knees, panted and looked at Li Qinyuan's figure, seeing him Without the slightest intention to stop, she wiped away her tears and chased after gritted her teeth.
Gu Wuyou didn't know how long she had been waiting in the grass.
She kept holding her breath and listened to the movements on the bamboo forest side. At first, the sound of fighting was obvious, but then she couldn't hear it anymore. She didn't know what was going on there. If you encounter a thief when you go out, Li Qinyuan will be under the control.
He could only hold his hand tightly, biting his lip and waiting.
The driver beside him was also afraid, and his entire body was shaking like a sieve. He couldn't help but ask, "Madam, the owner, will something happen to the owner?"
The voice just fell.
I heard an angry rebuke from my ear, "Shut up!"
Gu Wuyou usually speaks very well, especially when dealing with people like them, he is even more soft-spoken, never taking them seriously, so this reprimand is even more shocking, the driver was so frightened that he Can't even speak.
"He'll be fine..."
Gu Wuyou, whose hand was about to bleed from himself, gritted his teeth and stared outside, "He promised me that he would come back safely."
She said so, but the scene of her previous life was reflected in front of her eyes. The man was wearing black armor, standing in front of her, and said to her, "Manman, I promise you, I will come back safely."
But in the end, only his corpse came back.
Thinking of that day when the snow fell, Gu Wuyou's eyes became blurred, she bit her lip, wiped her eyes with the back of her hand, and then continued to stare in front of her, the only words in her mouth were, "He will back."
"He will definitely come back."
Seeing her, the driver seemed to be hysterical. He dared to talk to her, but he could only wait with a pale face and holding his breath.
I don't know how long it took-
There was finally the sound of horses' hooves in the distance. Gu Wuyou saw the familiar carriage rushing towards her, and the person driving the horse was... the person she was thinking of.
All the fears and worries disappeared at this moment, she stumbled, her red skirt was pierced by thorns in the bushes, but she didn't care about it at all, she just ran to the other side .
In the yellow sand in the sky, Gu Wuyou wore a red dress and ran in the direction of the carriage without hesitation, but she had squatted for so long before, and now her legs were sore, she rushed forward without running a few steps.
She thought she would definitely fall all over her face this time, but as soon as she closed her eyes, she heard hurried footsteps, and then she was hugged by someone, and Li Qinyuan's worried voice came from her ear, "Are you alright?"
Gu Wuyou opened his eyes and looked at Li Qinyuan who was in front of him. After a long time of choking, he couldn't hold back anymore. He hugged the person and burst into tears. He said intermittently, "You scared me to death, I thought , I thought you didn't come back for so long, something must have happened."
"I want to find you, but I remember what you said, and I dare not go."
Li Qinyuan also knew that she was too frightened this time. He put his hand on her back and said softly and comfortingly: "Okay, don't be afraid, am I back? Be good, don't be afraid."
When Gu Wuyou heard his voice, she gradually calmed down. Although the tears still fell without interruption, she finally swallowed the nervous heart that was about to jump out of her throat just now, and she wiped away tears. Tears, holding his face carefully.
Seeing the blood on his body, his face changed again.
"Blood… "
"It's not mine." Li Qinyuan coaxed, "I'm not injured, it belongs to someone else."
Gu Wuyou didn't believe it. He had to check it out for himself to make sure he wasn't injured, so he was relieved. He had to say more, but a child jumped out of the carriage. He pursed his lips and remained silent. .
