Wan Jinlan had a cut on her shoulder, her cotton coat was torn, and her skin was cut open. She was gritting her teeth in pain.
Xiao Feng grabbed her and rushed towards the direction where the escorts were gathering.
Even if these people don't save them, they can serve as their shields.
"Be smart. The emperor is already very old. My second sister's husband, Xiao Minghuan, is now the most likely person to take the throne. Leave some room for improvement so that we can meet again in the future."
These words are of no use to the secret guards sent by the emperor, but they are still useful to ordinary escorts.
"Anyone who helps me today will be rewarded handsomely."
Wan Jinlan and Xiao Feng dodged among the escorts, and the assassins who were shooting arrows in secret did not stop shooting. The two of them knocked the escorts to the ground. The escorts who heard this had no reaction. The ordinary escorts looked at each other and saw that those people had no reaction. They all held the knife honestly and did not help the two, but just dodged the cold arrows.
Although these assassins didn't say a word, they had some unusual tacit understanding with the escorts. One side refused to rescue them, while the other side chased Wan Jinlan and Xiao Feng.
When Wan Jinlan saw Xiao Feng bringing the leader of the escorts to the ground, she quickly approached, dodging the arrows shot by the assassins, bent down and knelt on the ground, just in front of the leader. The chain quickly locked his throat, and Xiao Feng pulled the key hanging on his waist.
Before running away, Wan Jinlan elbowed the escort leader in the face, causing him to bleed from the nose. "You took my father's money, but you didn't do anything for me. You're such a loyal dog!"
"We will not let you go even if we become ghosts for today's revenge."
The emotions surging in Wan Jinlan's chest were so overwhelming that she didn't even know what she was saying.
Perhaps God couldn't bear to see her being so arrogant, because she was tripped by a bailiff before she ran a few steps and fell into the muddy ground with broken leaves and snow.
Wan Jinlan recognized him; he was the one who had been looking at her lustfully while on guard duty.
At this time, the escort's face no longer had that annoying look, and he even signaled her with his eyes.
The killer was chasing him very closely, and arrows were shot from a distance. Xiao Feng's hands and feet were tied up, and Wan Jinlan fell down. He stood in front of him and was hit by an arrow in the abdomen. He narrowly avoided the long knife and dealt with the killer in a panic.
Wan Jinlan grabbed the cold object in his hand, kicked the escort away, rolled over, got up and fled into the night.
The two of them now have to urgently open the anklets, otherwise how can they escape?
The assassins were in hot pursuit and disappeared into the night.
"Boss, why don't we go and take a look?" asked a secret guard.
"They took the key from my waist. Head, yours is gone too."
After one of the escorts said this in shock, the other two escorts felt around their waists and found that their keys were also missing.
The leader of the escorts sneered and wiped the blood off his face. "The key is to confuse them. If they can't open the lock, they can't escape. They will die."
The other three people who had the keys looked shocked.
The leader led his men into the dense forest, not worrying much about whether the two could escape alive.
"If they're alive, I'll see them. If they're dead, I'll see their bodies. They can't get far."
At this time, Xiao Feng and Wan Jinlan rolled down the hillside and finally got a chance to catch their breath.
The two men hurriedly used the key they had obtained to try to open the chain.
Wan Jinlan used the last key to directly open the anklet, and subconsciously changed the key to open the bracelet.
Suddenly, she realized something was wrong, "How many do you have?"
"All three are unusable!" Xiao Feng looked grim.
There are not only wolves in this wilderness, but also assassins. If you can't move easily, how can you survive?
Wan Jinlan grabbed the key to open the anklet and tried to open the bracelet.
The lock is open.
Before Wan Jinlan could open the bracelet, the assassin finally arrived.
Xiao Feng's hands and feet were no longer restrained, and he wandered in the dark forest with a cold expression, attracting the attention of all the assassins.
With a scream, the weapon in the assassin's hand fell into Xiao Feng's hands. With a slash of the sharp sword, the assassin was killed instantly.
Wan Jinlan finally opened the lock after his hands trembled for a moment.
The sound of dead leaves breaking reached her ears, and she suddenly jumped up and swung the chain away.
The assassin screamed, his face covered in blood.
Wan Jinlan took the opportunity to strangle the man to death with a chain.
The two men were no longer shackled, and they fled as if there were evil spirits chasing them.
On a cold winter night, Wan Jinlan was sweating profusely, with knife wounds on his back and shoulders.
Xiao Feng is not much better than her.
The wind whistled in my ears, but I couldn't shake off the assassin behind me.
Under the moonlight, a river bank appeared ahead.
What is even more delightful is that a small fishing boat is docked in the withered grass on the river bank.
They both breathed a sigh of relief.
After getting on the boat, we paddled down the river.
A few arrows were shot unwillingly, and the two men fell backwards on the boat. After a while, the night returned to calm.
Wan Jinlan collapsed on the boat, looking up at the night sky. "This archer is not very good. He didn't hit the target with a single arrow. All the gold silk soft armor was prepared in vain."
Xiao Feng looked at the arrow marks on his abdomen and the corners of his mouth twitched.
It is not known whether the arrow was poisonous, but he was wearing gold-thread soft armor underneath, so it did not hurt him inside.
Just when both of them thought the danger was temporarily over, the boat leaked.
When Wan Jinlan felt the coldness on his feet, a long knife suddenly stabbed out from the bottom of the boat, flashing a bright cold light in the moonlight.
She took a deep breath and rolled over, but her back was almost stabbed. It was really thrilling.
Xiao Feng stabbed the long knife he had snatched from the assassin, and a muffled groan came from the bottom of the boat.
The river was wide and the boat sank very quickly.
The assassin was still swimming in the water tenaciously, trying to end the lives of the two men.
"Diving," Xiao Feng said in a deep voice.
Wan Jinlan let out a sigh of relief. He had no time to take off his outer cotton coat to reduce the weight, and the bag slung across his shoulders was still hanging.
The river water in winter is understandably cold.
The assassin was extremely tenacious. The two men fought with him until Wan Jinlan's whole body was almost stiff, and then they completely defeated him.
Seeing that she was moving slowly, Xiao Feng took her in his arms and floated to the surface of the river. The two of them had previously dealt with a pack of wolves, then fought with an assassin, and then soaked in the icy river water. They were all exhausted.
In winter, the half-moon hangs high in the sky, casting a cool light.
Xiao Feng took a deep breath and sent Wan Jinlan to the river bank. After getting ashore, he looked around and saw a small village in the north.
He thought about it and decided that it was not advisable to stay here for long.
The escorts and assassins will definitely search for them along the river.
If you want to stay here to recuperate, you need to find a place that is completely safe from the eyes and ears of others.
Wan Jinlan's entire body was wet from the inside out, he was shaking uncontrollably, and his face turned blue.
"If you can get through tomorrow, you'll be safer."
Even though he was about to collapse, Wan Jinlan forced himself to hold on.
If they can't be found in this area tomorrow, the escorts and killers will only think that the two of them fled to another area by boat down the river.
The two of them supported each other and found a short thatched hut.
There was no one in the thatched hut, except for a stone bed, a stove and other daily necessities.
The interior of the house was not very clear under the moonlight, but the only thing that could be guaranteed was that no one was inside the thatched hut.
Xiao Feng could only temporarily place Wan Jinlan on the stone bed, and then fumbled for a long time to light the brazier.
Wan Jinlan took off his outer shirt, sat on the edge of the stone bed in his inner clothes, and warmed himself around the brazier.
"Don't be busy, warm yourself by the fire first."
His body had never recovered in the first place, and his current condition would only be worse than his.
Xiao Feng let out a soft "hush" sound, and Wan Jinlan instantly tensed up.
Suddenly, heavy footsteps were heard outside.
