Xia Chu had the experience of his previous life, and he could probably guess where the group of people behind him would take action, but it was just a reappearance of the scene.
He pulled out the plum blossom from his bun, thought about the assassination incident in his previous life, rubbed some withered petals in his hand, and missed Xiao Mubai even more.
He, I miss him very much.
He couldn't wait any longer.
Xia Chu deliberately chose the time when it was about to start in the morning, and asked Guan Xi to go on the road in the gray sky, until they stepped onto the sloping ridge, with steep mountains on the left and invisible cliffs on the right.
Just as he expected, the assassin followed the perfect assassination path, attacking from both front and back, making it impossible to break through and unable to retreat.
Guan Xi only opened the cage for him for a moment, but the officers and soldiers in front and behind him were outnumbered and seemed to be about to be killed in front of him.
"You are so brave, how dare you attack an official!" Guan Xi drew his sword and faced each other sternly.
The group of people in the flanking attack were dressed in black clothes and covered with black scarves. They sneered after hearing this, and fought all the way to him, killing all the officers and soldiers guarding him with their swords.
For a moment, only Guan Xi and Han Ling were left protecting Xia Chu, one behind the other.
"Why are you talking to them in official terms at this time?" Xia Chu sat on the top of the prison car, swinging his legs back and forth, and poked Guan Xi and Han Ling: "You two, please leave quickly. Someone has to go back and report the news."
Both of them shouted at the same time: "No!"
The morning glow in the east suddenly reflected a deep red, and the sky above turned light blue.
"Lord Kong ordered his subordinates to escort the young marquis all the way. He would rather die than escape." Guan Xi pulled off his cuff and tied the sword hilt to his right hand tightly.
Han Ling, on the other hand, had no unnecessary nonsense. He just pressed his back against the prison car and swung his sword out.
"Have you had enough of the drama of being a loyal servant and protecting your master?" The leading man in black sneered and moved his sword forward. The people in front and behind him gradually approached with his pace.
Xia Chu jumped lightly from the prison car and kicked a large piece of gravel when he landed. He rolled to the edge of the cliff, shook, and fell down without even a sound...
"In this case, we can't die in the hands of thieves, so let's die generously with the young master and me." He opened his arms, one on the left and the other on the right, and put his hands on Guan Xi and Han Ling's shoulders.
The two of them were concentrating on the enemy facing them, but they didn't expect Xia Chu to suddenly push hard with both hands and lead them to jump towards the cliff.
At this moment, the sun breaks away from the clouds and rises. The red clouds break apart, and golden light shoots out one after another. The horizontal ones are clouds and the straight ones are light.
In the southeast corner of the sky, a great bead net of brilliance was woven, and the faces of the three people who fell were all dyed with a layer of golden-red light.
At the moment of sunrise, the man in black clearly saw them rushing down. The mist shrouded them and engulfed all three of them in an instant.
Under the cliff, apart from Han Ling, he burst out with an angry curse: "Am I the one..."
After a while, there was no sound again...
"You can't survive if you jump, right?" Another man in black stuck his head towards the cliff. His scalp was numb when he saw the bottomless abyss, his legs became weak for a while, and he quickly retreated back.
The leader snorted coldly and kicked the prison car down: "How can he survive? This kid still has some backbone. Let's go back and receive the reward."
The light of the morning glow stretched the silhouette of a line of men in black. After a while, the sloping ridge returned to silence. Except for the corpses on the ground, it proved that a bloody battle had just occurred.
Everything returned to calm again.
Xia Chu, who jumped off the cliff, held one in one hand and struggled to maneuver on the edge of the cliff.
Guan Xi and Han Ling thought they were certain to die, but after falling, they saw Xia Chu skillfully stepping on the place where they could put their feet on.
After a while, the two of them were thrown into a cave by him.
The two of them looked at each other, stretched out their hands to touch the floor of the cave, and pinched each other before they believed that they were not dead.
Xia Chu was breathing heavily, holding on to the cliff at the entrance of the cave with one hand and putting his other hand on his waist. After taking a long time to catch his breath, he pointed at Han Ling and asked, "Boy, did you scold me just now?"
Guan Xi also recalled Han Ling's scolding after being pushed down by Xia Chu, and then turned to look at Han Ling, whose face was flushed.
"No, there is..." Han Ling looked shy, hesitating for words, blushing and murmuring, and it took him a long time to stumble out two words.
Xia Chu snorted and walked towards the two of them: "Is it not, or is it!"
Han Ling turned away and said: "My subordinate thought that jumping off the cliff would be better than fighting to the end, killing a few and making a profit."
Guan Xi looked at Xia Chu who came forward, fearing that he would blame him, so he tried to persuade him: "Young Master, don't blame him. This is what I was thinking just now..."
Guan Xi's head lowered as he spoke. He was determined to die just now, and he inevitably complained about Xia Chusheng. He felt that he was a coward for jumping off the cliff like this, but he didn't scold him like Han Ling.
After he finished speaking, he waited for a long time, but did not get any feedback from Xia Chu. He raised his head furtively, but happened to see Han Ling, who was also furtively turning his head away from him.
The two looked at each other quickly, and then looked around, only to see that Xia Chu had walked inside, picked a clean place, and was meditating and adjusting his breath.
The two of them stood up, with a hint of shame on their faces. Seeing Xia Chu meditating, they looked around and walked towards the entrance of the cave.
Everything that had just happened still seemed like a dream. When I looked over, the two of them patted their chests at the same time and shrank back in shock.
"Master, did you know there was a hole here early on?" Guan Xi asked Xia Chu, while Han Ling also looked confused.
Although his mind was confused just now, his eyes could clearly see that Xia Chu was very skillful in stepping on the places where he could put his feet on.
Now, they are just thrown into here.
It would be unbelievable if I didn't know it in advance.
Xia Chu pursed her lips slightly, thinking that she had to thank Xiao Yanjun for his failed assassination attempt in his previous life.
As he was falling rapidly, he accidentally discovered this cave.
Therefore, Xia Chu dared to set foot on this barren mountain and sloping ridge again with determination.
I am very confident and know that there are tigers in the mountains, so I prefer to travel to the tiger mountains...
It was also because after that time, he performed Qing Gong and returned to Xiao Yanjun intact, Xiao Yanjun realized that his Qing Gong was so powerful.
Xia Chu was still sighing at Xiao Yanjun at that time, lamenting that it was fortunate that he had practiced Qinggong so hard in order to see him that he fell off the cliff and saved his life to come back to see him.
At that time, Xiao Yanjun's expression was extremely complicated, and he smiled at him word for word: "Really, that's great."
However, he was so immersed in the joy of reunion at the time that he never realized that Xiao Yanjun's words, word for word, were originally gritted teeth, and the smile on the corner of his mouth was also extremely sarcastic...
