Tome of Troubled Times

Chapter 68: The blood-stained Qinghe River is still young at night

Views:

Someone nearby said, "The news of the river crossing battle here should have reached the Cui family. If nothing unexpected happens, it is likely that Cui Wenjing came in person... If you calculate the time, it is actually very short. Has it been two hours since the river crossing?"

"From the time we crossed the river, until the news reached the Cui family and someone from the Cui family came to pick us up, that was the most dangerous time difference. We just had to endure it and it was over. It felt like a long time to us because there were so many storms one after another, and it seemed like a lot of things, but in fact it didn't take long."

"From what we can see right now, Cui Wenjing must be on the way. If we don't take action, they might really pick us up... Tsk, this Zhao Changhe is really amazing... Uh."

Halfway through his words, his expression became a little strange, and he suddenly remembered that Zhao Changhe and the Saint should have had an unclear relationship in the past. It was said that when Venerable Suzaku brought the Saint back, her lips were still broken, and it was obvious that she had just been bitten by a man, and it was a particularly passionate one.

After learning more, I found out that the saint had been sleeping in the same room with the man for a month or two, and they had probably tried all kinds of tricks.

Although the Four Symbols Sect's skills do not have restrictions such as not losing one's virginity, there are also demon women who seduce men and internal marriages in the sect, but women with a "love history" are indeed not suitable to be saints. In theory, the positions of saints and saints in a sect are to serve God wholeheartedly and cannot have other thoughts. Once you make a mistake, don't you think the former White Tiger Saint's lesson is a painful one...

Therefore, Xia Chichi's test as a saint was much stricter than normal, and the twenty-eight constellations formation was even set up.

As it turned out, this person was born a saint, so I won't mention it. Anyway, she is now the saint of two sects, and everyone still obeys her.

No one noticed that she had any signs of missing men in her daily life. They all thought that the saint knew what was important and could tell who was important. Anyway, she was only seventeen after the New Year, and she was still young. The momentary feelings of a young girl were gone quickly, so it was nothing.

After witnessing Zhao Changhe's actions, these Four Symbols believers really wanted to praise this young man. They secretly thought that it was no wonder that the Saint slept with him. If I were him, I would also... well, it was indeed a good vision.

But think about it, I can't praise him. What if the saint's old love is rekindled? He is a traitor of the subordinate sect anyway, so he should be killed. Why praise him

Everyone else could see what he was thinking, and they all laughed. Someone then said, "So if we want to get rid of the traitor, we have to do it now. It will be too late. Shall we do it?"

Xia Chichi had a blank expression on his face: "Why? When did our Four Elephants Sect become the running dogs of the Blood God Sect? Why did we come all the way here to help them get rid of the traitor?"

"Well… "

"Why are you and I passing through here?"

"I was on my way to Ancient Sword Lake to start the sword sacrifice ceremony again, and I just happened to encounter this incident on the way."

Xia Chichi said calmly, "So we are here to watch the show. Why should we get involved in the internal affairs of the Cui family and the Blood God Cult? What does it have to do with us?"

Everyone was silent. They felt that you didn't seem to be here to watch the show. Looking at your appearance, they almost couldn't help but want to save people several times.

But was Zhao Changhe's performance so good that the Saint didn't need to reveal his true intentions? Or was it because she was so jealous of him and a little rabbit? Forget it, I won't guess blindly.

Finally, an old man nearby said, "Bullying the injured, what kind of hero is that? The Saint Lady was right. Why should we clean up the mess for the Blood God Cult? They want us to help kill a mere traitor at the third level of the Mystical Gate. How shameless are they? They are such a waste."

Everyone nodded. Without mentioning anything else, just taking advantage of the last gasp of an enemy at the third level of the Mysterious Gate to kill him, all present were guardians of the Azure Dragon and White Tiger branches of the Four Symbols Sect, and the old man was a master of the Human Ranking. How could he have the nerve to do that? It was even more impossible for him, as a superior sect, to claim the bounty from a subordinate sect. Wouldn't that be ridiculous

Thinking of this, everyone sighed and said, "Then let's go. Otherwise, if Cui Wenjing really comes here, we will be in trouble."

At this time, Xia Chichi suddenly spoke: "It's not impossible to kill the traitor. I will let him choose a way to die. That's it, let's go."

Everyone could tell that there was real anger in these words, and they felt very relieved, thinking that the Saint Lady was indeed clear-headed!

Xia Chichi turned around to look again. The sound of horse hooves had already faded into the distance, leaving only the dust that was swirling all over the ground.

No one knew that the Saint had only two thoughts in her mind at this moment:

"You little slut, why are you pretending to be innocent and cute? You just hug men casually!"

"You're such a hero for escorting Yuan Yang a thousand miles away! Brother Zhao, wait for me!"

… …

Without mentioning the discussion among the Four Symbols Sect, Cui Yuanyang and Zhao Changhe were riding their horses at full speed, and the assassin from Tingxue Tower was getting closer and closer.

Zhao Changhe watched from behind and estimated silently.

The assassin's speed is faster than the horse... He must be a master of the fifth or even sixth level of the Xuanguan. At this level, his combat power seems to be comparable to the Five Supremes, at least his lightness skill is comparable - Zhao Changhe remembered that Yideng caught up with the galloping horse and received cheers from the soldiers of Xiangyang City. Although this horse is carrying two people now, it should not be much different.

In other words, Xia Chichi, who was being pushed against the wall and bitten by him, was actually a master of the Five Supremes level, and his level should be at the same level as the Seven Masters of Quanzhen and Mei Chaofeng? This realization made Zhao Changhe look quite strange, and he had a lot to complain about.

He took two deep breaths, silently mobilized Xia Longyuan's internal energy to nourish and regulate his weak body, and slowly took off the bow that he had been carrying on his body without using it since he shot the sail earlier.

Even if you are one of the Five Greatest Masters, you are not invulnerable to swords and guns!

Little did he know that the person was watching him take the bow...

There were only five or six arrows in the quiver... Zhao Changhe took one, suddenly drew his bow and arrow, turned around and shot. The arrow came with a sharp whistle, breaking through the air.

The assassin was also surprised. He didn't expect that Zhao Changhe didn't even turn his head, but suddenly turned around and shot so accurately!

He swung his sword to deflect the arrow, and his flying steps were slowed down and slightly stopped, and then the horse flew away again.

The assassin couldn't help but admire him. Not everyone could do so much when they were injured, exhausted, and out of ammunition and food... But would it work? How many arrows do you have

He chased after him again, and sure enough, as soon as he was within range, an arrow flew towards him. The assassin was prepared and deflected it, then continued to chase.

After four or five rounds of this, Wei County was getting closer and closer.

The assassin was also a little hesitant.

He also knew that this place was very close to the Cui family's sphere of influence. In addition, when Zhao and Cui appeared crossing the river, people near them had received the news. Could it be that Wei County had not received the news? This meant that they might meet someone to pick them up at any time, and it would be very dangerous to continue chasing them.

But when he was about to succeed, he was stopped by a few weak arrows? Isn't it ridiculous? Will he be able to sleep well when he gets home

Look at the way Zhao Changhe is drawing the bow at this moment. His arms are shaking and he can barely draw the bowstring fully...

Turning back in this situation

The assassin gritted his teeth and continued to chase after him.

Zhao Changhe nocked the last arrow, gritted his teeth, and slowly aimed with trembling arms.

Cui Yuanyang, who had been riding his horse madly and silently, suddenly shouted, "Still looking! Still looking! If you look again, I will never talk to you again!"

"Bang!" The last arrow flew out.

Almost at the same time as the bowstring sounded, a sword beam fell from the sky, flying from an unknown distance. Before Zhao Changhe's arrow arrived, the sword beam had already pierced the assassin's forehead.

A sword that exceeds the speed of sound.

Ninth on the Heavenly Ranking, the Patriarch of the Cui Family, Cui Yuanyang’s biological father.

"Purple Air and Clear River" Cui Wenjing.

"Whoa!" Cui Yuanyang reined in his horse, sat on it panting, and stared at his father under the moonlight.

She wanted to cry, but she found that her face was stiff and she could hardly make any expression. She wanted to jump off the horse and hug her father, but she felt that all her strength had disappeared and she couldn't even get off the horse.

Finally, this thorny road is over.

Cui Wenjing quietly looked at his daughter, who was dirty and looked like a child but was quiet and not crying or making a fuss. Then he looked at the man who stuck half of his head out from behind his daughter and looked at him... No matter how well the man hid, he could not escape his gaze. The color of the bellyband exposed on his chest was simply too glaring.

I don’t know what kind of emotion is contained in Cui Wenjing’s eyes, admiration or something else…

Only then did Cui Yuanyang realize that his father's attitude towards Zhao Changhe might not be friendly. His heart skipped a beat and he was about to speak when a golden light suddenly flashed in the sky.

A new chapter has been written in the book of troubled times.

The three of them couldn't help but look up.

"In March, Zhao Changhe escorted Yuan Yang for a thousand miles, crossing mountains and rivers, and fighting his way through the encirclement. He killed countless people along the way, his clothes were soaked in blood, his long sword was nicked, and his arrows were used up and his bow was broken."

Cui Wenjing's eyes moved slightly, and Cui Yuanyang, who had been very quiet, suddenly burst into tears as he watched.

"When he was injured and exhausted, he and Cui Yuanyang killed Qi Buzhi together, and escaped from the pursuit of the silver medal killer in Tingxue Tower."

"The Hidden Dragon Ranking has changed and new seats have been added."

"The Eighty-Eighth Hidden Dragon, Zhao Changhe."

"Hidden Dragon 213, Cui Yuanyang."

"The blood-stained Qinghe River lasts all night long."

Unlike the previous two times... this time, the whole world was shaken.
