The dagger in Haitang's hand was like the breath of the wind, entangled with Fan Xian, and Fan Xian jumped or leaped or squatted or lay down in various strange and funny poses. However, he used his powerful body control ability to ensure the coherence of postures.
The point of the sword pierced the mud next to his left ear, pierced the blade of grass under the little finger of his right hand, and picked off the dewdrop near his throat.
It just couldn't hit his body.
A strange color gradually appeared in Haitang's eyes. She has been practicing martial arts since she was a child. She is extremely talented. She is confident that the dagger in her hand has already obtained the natural way of heaven and earth. Except for the four great masters in the world, she has never seen anyone in her eyes. , this young man named Fan Xian in front of him is no match for him in any respect... But, why is he already so embarrassed, and the sword in his hand is always close to him? Whenever I want to stab the opponent, the opponent's body seems to predict it, and at the most dangerous moment, move away a few inches!
Sweat dripped from Fan Xian's forehead. The situation was too dangerous at this time, and he nearly died several times. Although the sword in the opponent's hand was not as fast and accurate as Uncle Wu Zhu, it was really mysterious, and he regretted it. You shouldn't dodge, you should fight for life and death as before, and use bravery to overwhelm the opponent's indifference.
But the situation has been like this, there is no other way.
At the moment of life and death, Fan Xian rolled on the wet grass, dodging in embarrassment, and had no chance to complain about Wu Zhu's education level, and hurt himself for his lack of martial arts talent.
With a chirping sound, a black feathered arrow pierced through the air and shot straight at Haitang's face. At this time, Haitang's full attention was on Fan Xian, and she was about to kill him, but she just turned around lightly, and let the feathered arrow fly past her cheek.
Then came two feathered arrows and three feathered arrows!
A rain of arrows avoided Fan Xian's body who was rolling like a puppy with great precision, and shot at Haitang's body densely and murderously.
Haitang sighed softly in her heart, swiped her sword lightly, and swept away the feathered arrows one by one, but found that her wrist was also a little numb, she couldn't help being slightly startled, thinking that the light bows of those cavalrymen could shoot such powerful arrows Come!
Immediately afterwards, a long knife flew over like a broken bamboo. This is Tiger Guard Gundam's... flying knife! The tip of the knife ruthlessly plunged into the mud in front of Haitang, forcing the strong man back a few steps.
…
…
The sound of horseshoes sounded like thunder, and the Black Cavalry Army outside the town finally arrived on the meadow. More than a hundred horses stepped on their hooves restlessly, as if they had some kind of fear of the air on the meadow, and immediately covered their faces The black cavalrymen all raised their long bows and crossbows, aiming at the peerless master in the clothes of a village girl.
"You're lucky." Haitang floated lightly, separated a long distance from the terrifying cavalry, then gently stroked her long hair, and said to Fan Xian who was having difficulty getting up in the distance.
Fan Xian smiled wryly, did not engage in any verbal disputes, looked at the village girl standing pretty in the distance, and waved goodbye.
The meadow was quiet for a while, and the black cavalry dismounted after listening to the password, and shouted in unison: "See you, Mr. Tisi."
Fan Xian turned around and looked at these powerful cavalrymen who were covered with a sense of coldness. He finally felt more at ease, and said a little tiredly, "This place is poisonous, and the horses will become restless after a while. Be careful."

Back in the camp, the accompanying doctor took out things to treat Master Fan's wounds, wrapped them casually, and Fan Xian walked into the camp with a serious face, and ordered his subordinates to rest for a day today, and to enter Wudu River town tomorrow. .
"Who is it?" Fan Xian was not in a good mood, and gave Wang Qinian a cold look.
Wang Qinian bowed and replied: "The person driving the door is someone from Xinyang, and the spies in the courtyard should also have something to do with Xinyang. As for the army that was in charge of responding outside Wuduhe Town, although it was disguised, it has been verified. Northern Qi general Lu Jing's private soldier. This Lu Jing, who served in Uesugi Tiger's army ten years ago, has been promoted very quickly since then."
Fan Xian nodded, and found that the slight wound on his shoulder started to hurt. He frowned and said, "I can guess a little about the relationship between Sean and Uesugi Tiger, so it's normal for Lu Jing to come. Xinyang... this time Sean can Getting out of prison was originally a means of Xinyang, but I don’t know why it is necessary to arrange such a midway robbery when it is clear that it can reach Shangjing in Northern Qi safely?”
He had a headache, and couldn't figure out what agreement the eldest princess had with Beiqi.
"Obviously, neither the eldest princess nor Uesugi Tiger want Xiao En to fall into the hands of the Northern Qi royal family." Wang Qinian analyzed: "It seems that the secrets that Xiao En has are what the Northern Qi royal family wants, and Xiao En is a person But it's not what the Northern Qi royal family wanted."
"In this way, if Xiao En reaches Northern Qi safely, I'm afraid he will die of old age in prison instead of regaining power. No wonder he is in a hurry to escape." Fan Xian frowned and said to himself: "It seems that Northern Qi The young emperor is not an idiot, I'm afraid he also understands the relationship between Uesugi Tiger and Xiao En."
"But... what kind of secret is it that makes the Northern Qi royal family so tight? Why did Ku He send Hai Tang to kill him? Why was Chen Pingping willing to let Xiao En go? Why was she not willing to kill him at the beginning?"
※※※
"I think I'm stupid." Fan Xian looked at Ken, who was seriously injured, and propped his jaw in thought. Things in the world are like this. Before fighting with Sean, the opponent was a tiger. After the fight, he realized that it turned out that It's just a paper tiger, he said in his heart, what his mother taught Chen Pingping really made sense.
He continued: "I obviously wanted to kill you, but after arranging it for so long, I became your bodyguard at the last moment." The development of this matter is indeed very absurd.
Xiao En's old voice sounded: "Everything in the world is like this, if it is not absurd, it will not be a worldly thing."
Fan Xian smiled and said, "But the temptation to kill you is still great."
"Haitang is Ku He's student, and no one dares not to listen to Ku He's bald head speaking in Northern Qi." Xiao En said lightly: "Since she knows that I am alive, then you can't justify planting those corpses outside the town. If you If you kill me again at this time, it may be very difficult for that Mr. Yan to go back alive."
"What kind of secret are you hiding in your heart?" Fan Xian looked at him quietly, "It can make Ku He tear his face off and kill you."
"Just some old stories."
"When we talked about the secret in your heart on the meadow, it was at that time that she showed signs of killing." Fan Xian looked at him indifferently, and said softly, "That secret seems to be very serious indeed. No, it can make a strong man on the ninth rank mess up his mind."
Sean looked at him mockingly: "Why don't you think she is going to kill you?"
"I have no enmity with her, why did she kill me?" Fan Xian stared at Xiao En's eyes, as if he wanted to see the secret that had been hidden for a long time from those eyes that were no longer filled with the smell of blood.
"You're wrong." Xiao En said with a gentle smile. After coming out of the prison of the Overwatch Council, the cold smell that had been surrounding his body had long since disappeared.
"It seems that Ku He really doesn't want you to return to Northern Qi alive."
"That's right, the reason why I dared to run away even though I knew it was a trap set by you was because I knew that in the end neither the Northern Qi royal family nor even the eldest princess whom I had never met would let me I died so easily. The eldest princess you mentioned may be trying to use my life and death to reach some kind of agreement with Hu'er. After all, she is too young to know some secrets from back then... "
Sean continued: "More importantly, Ku He wanted me to shut up, so he would kill me before the mission left the country... And you are a very curious person, you will definitely think, what is it? What kind of secret will provoke him to kill me. In this case, you have no choice but to change from a person who kills me to a person who protects me. "
Fan Xian was silent.
"You set up the game, I break the game, and I fail in the end. But I have the last confidence. As long as I play the last card, I can make you reluctant to kill me. When you enter the border tomorrow, you will have no chance to make a move. So today This time...you lost." Sean was expressionless, although this real old fox was not as powerful as before, but his brain with extremely precise calculations seemed to be able to see through everyone's heart.
"I'm really interested in your card, even more than anyone else. Just acknowledging this is enough for me to save your life temporarily." Fan Xian didn't seem too disheartened, and said with a smile : "But you didn't escape, and Uesugi Tiger couldn't rescue you when you arrived in Shangjing, so you will still be imprisoned and tortured by the Northern Qi royal family until you die of old age, just waiting for you to tell the secret."
A flash of panic suddenly flashed in Xiao En's eyes. After the old man was seriously injured today, he seemed to be much weaker in defense.
"What kind of secret is it?" Fan Xian repeated the words on the meadow, "Since you are not even afraid of death, why don't you dare to tell it, don't say anything more terrible than death, I don't believe such nonsense at all. "
Sean seemed to have discovered the cold tone deep in Fan Xian's heart at this moment, and closed his mouth with a smile.
Fan Xian suddenly closed his eyes and thought for a while, then stretched out his hand like the wind, and gently took the poisonous needle from Xiao En's neck. The needle has not been taken out since it was inserted into Xiao En's acupuncture point in the short cedar forest. The needle tip slowly left Xiao En's body, and the old man suddenly let out a muffled groan, with a very painful expression on his face, and several wounds, large and small, all bursting out blood at the same time!
"This needle can stop your blood from running, but it is actually helping you stop the bleeding. After you pull it out, you will only count to twenty or so, and you will die due to excessive bleeding." Fan Xian said softly , Gently twirling the tip of the needle, "This is the only weapon used by this junior for self-cultivation, so I have always been very careful."
Blood dripped from Sean's body, wet his clothes, and dripped down the seat. The old man's face became paler, and the old man's smell on his body became stronger and stronger, as if it was gradually turning into the smell of death.
But he still kept his mouth shut.
…
…
Tick, tick, I don't know how long it took, Fan Xian frowned slightly, stretched out his fingers like electricity, and re-pierced into another acupuncture point of Sean, helping him stop the bleeding, and then he felt the pain in the semi-conscious Sean. Carefully smear a doll on the nose.
