"Talk!" Ruan Tingyu reprimanded, trying to say something, and finally closed her mouth again. She waved her hand, closed her eyes, and said, "Arrange someone to watch the night, let everyone rest early, and have to travel tomorrow."

"Oh." Magpie shrugged and walked towards the others.

After the magpie left, Ruan Tingyu slowly opened his eyes again and looked at the man on the boulder. With his back against the cliff, he could not see his expression clearly under the shadow of the rock. His eyes are looking up at the sky in this early spring night.

Who is he? Ruan Tingyu was puzzled.

The night was quieter.

At the third watch, Shang Jun suddenly opened his eyes, someone!

Concentratingly, he felt that there were at least a hundred people on the other side. The leading ones were extremely skilled in martial arts, and the others were also orderly. If it was a bandit, then the strength of these people exceeded his imagination.

The bandits are very familiar with the environment here. Their speed is very fast and they have been surrounded in a semi-circle, and those who watch the night do not find that the danger is approaching them from the rocks above. Shang Jun does not want Ruan Tingyu They were treated by the bandits as their belongings.

With luck in the palm of his hand, Shang Jun sent a palm to the fire, and the flames sensed the strong palm force and jumped several feet high. In the middle of the night, the movement here immediately caught the attention of the night guards, who shouted alertly, "Who!"

Such shouting not only awakened Ruan Tingyu and the other guards, but also the bandits.

Perhaps they felt that it was no longer necessary to hide at this time, perhaps because they felt that they were winning, the bandits lit the torches. In an instant, half of the mountain was filled with beating flames, reflecting the sky of the third watch into a fiery red. Under the firelight, a pair of bows and arrows pointed to the team of carriages and horses in the canyon.

What a big battle! Shang Jun sighed inwardly, they occupied the high ground, and there were so many bows and arrows waiting. In this duel, it is estimated that these bandits won. I don’t know whether it is the dangerous wolf village that kills people and steals goods, or the flying eagle that focuses on making money. Walled. If it's for money, that's all, if it's for death, he has to think carefully about how to save these two women.

Shang Jun calmly jumped off the boulder, hid behind the boulder, and secretly observed the surrounding terrain.

The magpie clenched the machete in his hand, stared at the bandit who suddenly appeared, and asked nervously, "Miss, it's a bandit! What should we do now?"

Yang Mu also pulled out the long sword in his hand and led the guards to surround Xia Que and Ruan Tingyu in the middle, waiting for her order.

Ruan Tingyu frowned tightly. No wonder they all said that this Dragon Canyon is the world of thieves. She never expected that there would be so many thieves. They were uniform and moved quickly. It seems that they are very likely today. die here.

Just when Ruan Tingyu had a headache, a clear male voice came slowly, "There is a stone recess here."

Ruan Tingyu turned around and saw that the man in plain clothes was standing in a shadow next to the stone wall a few meters away from them. When did he pass by, and in the face of such a battle, he seemed calmer than her, Ruan said. Listening to the rain is more certain that this person is not as simple as he said.

Although he was suspicious, after weighing it, Ruan Tingyu gave the order, "Retreat to the stone recess!" At least it would allow them to avoid the deadliest arrow rain.

They retreated all the way to the shadows, only to find that the stone concave was very narrow and could only hide five or six people, but the thieves obviously saw that they had the intention of resisting, and the dense arrows immediately shot at them.

The few guards who were still outside immediately waved their long swords to block the arrows. Ruan Tingyu knew that this was not the way to go. She looked at the blazing mid-mountain, and her beautiful eyes lit up with determination. Forget it, today I will fight to the death with these rats here.

Carrying the quiver on his shoulders, Ruan Tingyu said neatly: "Arrange the carriages in a line, blocking the stone notch, Yang Mu, you take them to hide behind the carriage, don't act rashly. Let the arrows go as they go, They can't all be so good at archery. Once they want to attack and grab something, they are afraid of hurting their own people, and the arrows will not be frequent. You have to seize the opportunity, the bandits dare to approach the carriage, use the long sword to solve the problem. them."

"Yes." Yang Mu led the guards, a few ups and downs avoided several long arrows that passed by, and disappeared behind the carriage.

Leaning out against the rock wall, Ruan Tingyu found that several horses were frightened and ran away. Only her red horse remained waiting for her. These thieves may have also seen the preciousness of the red horse. , not a single arrow hit it. Retracting her body, Ruan Tingyu took the magpie's hand and said, "Xiaoxi, I'll recall the red horse later, and you can leave as soon as there is a chance."

"No." Magpie insisted, "How can I run by myself? If I want to die, I have to die with the young lady." The Ruan family has raised her for so many years, how can she be a Magpie who is greedy for life and fears death.

Ruan Tingyu shouted, "Nonsense! I asked you to go back to Ruan's house to report the letter. You can only get away to find a big brother to save me, do you hear me?"

"Miss, take the opportunity to go, Yang Mu and I can resist for a while!" Gritting his teeth, he clenched the machete in his hand, and the magpie was about to rush out.

Ruan Tingyu quickly grabbed her shoulders and immediately pulled her back. She had just retreated to the stone concave, and two sharp feather arrows were immediately inserted where the magpie was standing.

Holding the magpie's hand, Ruan Tingyu continued to persuade: "My arrows are good, I can cover you and help you repel those who attack you with long arrows. I will ride out without cover, and I will become a hedgehog in a while. "

Hearing the crackling sound of arrows hitting the stone wall outside, Magpie was speechless, seeing her softening, Ruan Tingyu continued to lobby, "Okay, it's dangerous to go out, take the chance, we all rely on you. "

Magpie nodded vigorously, "Yeah!" She must try her best to rush out, as long as she finds the son, the young lady will be saved.

Shang Jun knew that Ruan Tingyu was comforting the magpie, and she couldn't last until the magpie called for reinforcements. These bandits dispatched so many people at one time, and they wanted a quick solution. She already planned to die here.

Shang Jun admired this determined woman, even though she knew she was dead, she was still so calm. Shang Jun stepped forward and wanted to see the situation outside, but was stopped by Ruan Tingyu's long bow.

"You hide in the innermost part, don't get in the way." She knew that this person was not an ordinary scholar, but after all, he was still thin, and maybe he would die in the end, but she didn't want him to be injured now.

Shang Jun was surprised. Although her tone was very bad, he still felt the concern. An unknown person deserved her so much care? Taking a few steps back, Shang Jun leaned against the innermost stone wall as she wished.

That's all, the thief's arrows are so abundant, it is impossible for him to save all the people. Above this cliff is a chaotic forest. After the magpie leaves, he will take her away.

After a while, the arrows really lost a lot, and Yang Mu shouted, "Miss, they have captured it."

With a good chance, Ruan Tingyu uttered a long whistle, and the red horse neighed immediately, rushing towards the stone recess where they were. Ruan Tingyu pulled the magpie's vest, and when the red horse approached, she exerted her strength to help her fly onto the horse's back smoothly.

"Chixia, hurry up!" With Ruan Tingyu's cry, the red horse galloped toward the other side of the road like an arrow from the string.

How could the bandits escape? The arrows that were gradually resting immediately turned around and shot at the magpie. For a time, several arrows were fired.

Shang Jun secretly screamed, and Ruan Tingyu, who was beside him, suddenly lifted his breath and jumped more than a zhang. His legs were crossed on both sides of the stone concave, his long bow was held horizontally, and his hand was skillfully stretched to the quiver behind him. , there are ten short feathered arrows buckled on the five fingers, and the golden long bow actually has two bowstrings, and the bow is full. The arrow is cut off.

The red horse's feet were extremely fast, and if it missed this hit, it had already carried the magpie several miles away.

What a powerful weapon, what a precise shot! Shang Jun raised his head, the strong-dressed woman on the rock wall was splendid, and her longbow was made to flow. The short arrows were fired at once, and they were very powerful and extremely sharp. One arrow could pass through the chests of several bandits. A band of bandits fell on the mountain road immediately, and the situation seemed to have reversed.

Sure enough, the bandit who rushed down the mountain road retreated back into the pile of rocks.

Yang Mu finally breathed a sigh of relief, "Miss, they have retired."

Shang Jun became more and more nervous, they would not retire so easily.

Just when Ruan Tingyu came down, Shang Jun felt a force like a broken bamboo suddenly attacking her.

It's an arrow!

This person is very accurate. Ruan Tingyu was in mid-air, and it was impossible to dodge this arrow, and her short arrow was too late to fire.

Being hit by such a force will definitely kill you.

Shang Jun's eyes darkened, his luck was in the palm of his hand, and he slapped the swiftly approaching long arrow. The palm wind hit the arrow feather, and the arrow immediately lost its aim. It's a pity that the long arrow is very close to Ruan Tingyu. Even if it is deviated, the long arrow still penetrates her right shoulder with fierce force and shoots straight into the rock wall!

Ruan Tingyu was in pain, and her falling body lost her balance. Just when she almost fell to the ground, Shang Jun supported her waist, exerting force on her hands, and supported her secretly. Even though it seemed that Ruan Tingyu still fell to the ground, Shang Jun couldn't support her. In fact, Shang Jun's support had slowed her down.

Shang Jun carefully helped Ruan Tingyu to sit up, only to find that her shoulder injury was very serious, and the dark purple clothes had been soaked by the gushing blood. Ruan Tingyu immediately tapped his acupuncture point, the blood no longer gushed out, but the wound passed by the arrow was already bloody, and his right arm could hardly move.

Holding Ruan Tingyu's shoulder, Shang Jun planned to take her away. From here to the top of the rock wall is more than five feet. His internal injury is almost healed. With Lingxiao soft sword protecting him, he should be able to take her up there, and there will be a rocky bush for cover.

Seeing Ruan Ting hit by an arrow in the rain, Yang Mu immediately retreated to her side and asked anxiously, "Miss, how is your injury?"

Ruan Tingyu shook his head, "It's okay."

Just when Shang Jun wanted to take her to leap up, suddenly there was a flash of fire in front of him, and the bandit actually used a rocket. The arrows all fell on the carriage in front of the stone concave, and the carriage was full of dried medicinal materials. After a while, the carriage was immediately set on fire. The thick smoke and the choking smell of the burning herbs forced the guards back into the stone alcove.

The guard watched the action of the bandit vigilantly, and said, "Miss! The herbs are on fire! What should I do now?"

Ruan Tingyu's body seemed to have all the power taken away, and she said hopelessly: "They have no more money, so they must kill us." She also hoped that she could hold on a little longer, so that they could still be rescued. of hope.

Yang Mu held the hand of the long sword, blue veins appeared faintly, and he swore an oath: "Miss, don't worry, we will protect you to the death."

After hearing this sentence, Ruan Tingyu's sluggish spirit turned away and shouted: "Now is not the time to talk about this, push the burning carriage out, and when the fire is big, you two go in two directions. Run, one who can walk is one." She can't just give up, even if she can't walk, she will do her best to give them a chance to live. There's a lot of smoke, hope some of them survive!

Ruan Tingyu finished speaking, and all the guards immediately knelt down on one knee and said firmly, "Miss, we're not going. We'll cover, you go!"

Ruan Tingyu looked at the almost burned carriage and sighed: "My arrows hurt so many of them just now, they must have hated them so much that they chose to burn the carriage, they must kill me, and now I If you are injured again, you can't leave, you can go."

The long sword in the guard's hand was clenched tightly, but no one responded.

Ruan Tingyu said urgently: "Let's go!" The fire has weakened, and the bandits have already descended the mountain. If they don't leave, there will be no chance.

Yang Mu stood up first, pointed at the bandits coming up like a tide, and shouted, "The bandits have come down, are you ready?"

The other guards exchanged glances, all stood up, and replied neatly and firmly: "Yes!"

The five guards stood in unison in front of the stone concave, completely protecting Ruan Tingyu behind her. The blood-stained sword was pointed at the swooping bandit, and she was left with a tall and decisive one. back.

Ruan Tingyu shouted, "Yang Mu!"

Yang Mu stood at the forefront of the guards, without turning his head, he just replied decisively: "Miss, it is the guard's responsibility to protect you, even if you die, you will die before you."

Ruan Tingyu closed her eyes in pain. She knew that what she said now was useless. With Yang Mu's temper, he would never leave. That's all, with them accompanying and protecting her, what a pity she died.

only-

Ruan Tingyu looked at the man who had been holding her firmly in his arms, and said guiltily, "You really chose the wrong person. Following us will hurt you."

Shang Jun raised a faint smile and said with a needless smile: "I once saw what a real strange woman is, and what is loyalty and courage, this line is worth it."

These people guarded her with her life, and she was willing to save them with her life. This kind of master-servant relationship moved the Lord of Shang. There are so many thieves, he is afraid that he will not be able to save them, but he will save the people they try to protect.

Ruan Tingyu wondered if this person was always so calm and calm, even at this moment, he could still laugh. Ruan Tingyu wanted to say something, the bandit was close at hand.

Yang Mu shouted loudly, and the guards rushed out with him. A fierce battle inevitably began. The guards' martial arts were not high. Facing the tide of bandits, they had no strength to fight back, and they fell one after another. Only Yang Mu could resist for a while, but unfortunately, after a while, he was already hit by several knives.

"Yang Mu!"

Ruan Tingyu stubbornly wanted to raise the longbow, but she couldn't move her right hand at all.

Ruan Tingyu beat her right arm fiercely with her left hand. She hated her powerlessness. Even if she had a weapon, she couldn't use it. At this moment, a pair of cool hands grabbed her wanton beating hand, and the longbow in her hand was also snatched away. I saw that she always thought that the thin man neatly grabbed the short arrow in the quiver and pulled it with ease. Open the arrow string, fully release the bow, and the streamer-like arrow shoots straight out.

Ruan Tingyu was stunned that he could actually use the Xingyue Bow!

Although he didn't understand the mystery of using this bow, the arrows shot out still repelled the bandits beside Yang Mu, allowing him to breathe. Unfortunately, all the short arrows in the quiver were used up, so Shang Jun put down his long bow, took a few steps forward, and dragged Yang Mu, who was covered in blood, back into the stone concave.

Ruan Tingyu tapped Yang Mu's acupuncture point to stop the bleeding, but his stab wounds were almost completely cut to the bone. Even if the bleeding stopped, it would not be easy to survive. Ruan Tingyu groped for a while in his arms, and finally found a green porcelain bottle, opened the lid, Shang Jun immediately smelled a strong fragrance, Ruan Tingyu poured out a few and stuffed them all into Yang Mu's mouth.

"Yang Mu! Yang Mu!"

This medicine may be really miraculous. The unconscious Yang Mu actually opened his eyes and said weakly, "Miss, you shouldn't waste it to save me."

"Nonsense!" Ruan Tingyu was almost roaring, but Shang Jun could hear the pain in her heart.

After tearing off the hem of his clothes, Shang Jun helped him bandage the exposed wound. He was thinking about the possibility of taking him away together! This man named Yang Mu is a real man.

Shang Jun was still thinking, but a long whistle sounded in front of the stone concave, followed by a ridicule, "Shi Fang, the person holding the bow is actually a woman! And she is not bad." Jing Xiangtian tsk tsk in Ruan Ting Walking around in front of the rain, they didn't expect that the arrow holder who surprised and admired them was actually a woman.

In just a moment, they were surrounded by bandits and trapped in this stone recess. Ruan Tingyu stared vigilantly at this young man in his early twenties, with dark skin, ordinary looks, and a playful look on his face. Although he didn't look like a wicked man, Ruan Tingyu still held on tightly. Holding the longbow in his hand.

Behind the young man was a big man with a full beard, but his voice was as loud as a bell. He glanced at Ruan Tingyu, and he shouted loudly: "She killed us so many brothers, don't worry about him. Whether it's a man or a woman, kill it!"

"Yes, kill her! Kill her!"

As if to cater to his views, a roar higher than a sound filled the entire mountain road.

Jing Xiangtian sighed secretly, this woman is very interesting, she doesn't cry, she doesn't make trouble, and she has good archery skills, which is quite pleasing to his eyes, and he is really reluctant to kill her.

Jing Xiangtian turned his head and asked an indifferent man, "Brother, do you want to kill?"

The man was silent for a while, and then nodded grimly in the midst of a louder shout of killing.

"There's no other way. Beauty, I'll leave you a whole corpse." Jing Xiangtian raised the long sword in his hand and aimed it at Ruan Tingyu's chest.

"etc."

Just as the sword was about to fall, a cold male voice came from the shadow of Shiya, and when he saw the person walking out, Jing Xiangtian's hand holding the sword for a long time forgot to drop it.
