Chapter 419 I'm Just a Little Hungry
The two men looked at each other and tightened their weapons in unison.
The leading man in black put away his bow and arrow, and walked towards this side with a scimitar in his hand.
The killer was very alert, walked lightly, and held the knife diagonally in front of himself.
However, at this time Yun Ran and the others were in the dark, while the killer was in the light, and the two of them had seen the actions of these people clearly.
Another step, and the killer was now only two steps away from Yun Ran. The sword in his hand was so cold that the blade was almost poking Yun Ran's nose.
suddenly!
Everything changed in a flash. A flash of silver light flashed by, and the silver whip was like a nimble little snake, wrapping around the man's blade.
With a flicker of silver light, the sword in the man's hand suddenly slipped out of his hand, drew an arc in the dark night sky, and fell into the hands of Ye Jingzhen who was squatting on the other side.
The killer was terrified when his weapon was taken away. He retreated repeatedly and shouted, "They are here!"
Yun Ran and Ye Jingzhen no longer hid. They nimbly emerged from the bushes and ran in two different directions, one on the left and one on the right.
The killers who arrived later were a little confused for a moment. They only saw two figures passing by and didn't know which one to chase.
By the time they reacted, the two had already run far away.
Mangshan has a rugged terrain and is covered with dense forests everywhere.
Although all the leaves have fallen at this time of year, the branches swaying in the wind in the dark night look like a huge monster with bared fangs and claws, which is extremely creepy.
These black-clad killers were divided into three teams at this time. Two teams went to chase Yun Ran and Ye Jingzhen, and one team stayed behind to deal with the guards guarding the mausoleum.
However, the skills of these guards were very average, and it didn't take long before almost all of them were killed. Only two smarter ones saw that the situation was not right and hid in the chaos.
The two teams that went after Yun Ran and Ye Jingzhen didn't gain any benefits.
It’s okay for a young prince to lead troops to fight at a young age, but why can a skinny little girl run so fast?
The dozen or so people chasing Yun Ran couldn't understand why they couldn't even catch up with a teenage girl after all they had undergone rigorous training and their kung fu skills were not weak?!
A moment later, Yun Ran led these well-trained killers around the woods near the imperial mausoleum for several circles. After making sure that everyone was dizzy and had no strength left, he decisively returned to the bushes where the two of them had hidden before.
When Yun Ran arrived, panting slightly, Ye Jingzhen was already waiting there.
Seeing her running towards him briskly, Ye Jingzhen quickly grabbed her slender white wrist and hugged her in his arms.
"Brother Xiaojing, you are so fast..."
Yun Ran took a few breaths and looked up at Ye Jingzhen.
Ye Jingzhen reached out to help her smooth her back, raised an eyebrow and said, "Quick?"
Yun Ran didn't understand what he meant, so she nodded and said seriously, "Yeah, much faster than me. How many people are chasing you?"
"About twenty or so," Ye Jingzhen replied, then corrected her, "Also, what you just said wasn't accurate. You should say you moved really fast, you ran really fast, understand?"
"Oh," Yun Ran nodded, not quite understanding, and touched her rumbling stomach again, looking up at him, "Brother Xiao Jing, I'm a little hungry. Do you still have the candy you gave me?"
Ye Jingzhen: ...
He spread his hands towards Yun Ran, his hands were empty, and said helplessly: "No more, this is all I brought with me. I gave it all to you during the worship just now."
"It's okay," Yun Ran swallowed and waved his hand. "It must be because I digested too quickly when I was running in the woods with them just now. I didn't eat anything before Anji brought me here, so I'm hungry so soon. Let's eat when we get back. I can hold it in."
She said she could hold it in, but her stomach growled at an inopportune moment.
Ye Jingzhen: ...
He looked up at the crescent moon in the sky and said, "It's almost time. Let's go back now."
As he said this, he took Yun Ran's hand and planned to go out along the small path.
There are too many killers. If he and Yun Ran face them head-on, it will be troublesome and time-consuming. It would be better to shake them off and sneak away.
Anyway, in the past few years, Ye Cangling has brought him here every year, and he is very familiar with the terrain here.
However, before he and Yun Ran had walked far, he suddenly stopped and pulled Yun Ran to hide behind a big pine tree.
"What's wrong?" Yun Ran also noticed something was wrong and asked in a low voice.
Ye Jingzhen pointed to a group of people looming on the rugged path below and said softly, "I'm afraid we can't leave tonight."
Yun Ran looked in the direction of his finger and saw the figures below.
They were all dressed in black, with their faces masked and holding swords in their hands. They looked the same as the people who had just assassinated them, but it was impossible to tell who they were.
"What should I do then?" Yun Ran frowned at his little finger.
Ye Jingzhen glanced down at her, his lips curled slightly: "What else can I do? I can only spend the night here."
Seeing that the rabbit fur cloak she had wrapped herself in was gone, he asked again, "Are you cold now that your cloak is gone?"
Yun Ran shook his head and said honestly, "I'm not cold, I'm just a little hungry."
Ye Jingzhen almost laughed out loud, but he pursed his lips and held back his laughter: "I have a plan. Wait here for a while. Don't make any noise. Don't let them find out."
"Yeah." Yun Ran nodded obediently.
Ye Jingzhen looked around vigilantly and hid Yun Ran further into the bushes.
Then he warned: "If I haven't come back yet and you are discovered, run away quickly, don't fight with them, and remember to blow the bamboo whistle, and I will come to find you."
Yun Ran subconsciously touched the bamboo whistle that she had hung around her neck and hidden in her clothes and nodded: "Okay, Brother Xiaojing should be careful too."
Ye Jingzhen touched her head, quickly stood up and left.
Yun Ran pricked up his ears to listen to the movements around him, and only heard the killers looking for them everywhere in a rage. Then he breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that Brother Xiao Jing should not have been discovered.
It had been a long time since Ye Jingzhen left.
Yun Ran was bored of hiding. She wanted to go out and look for Ye Jingzhen, but she held back when she remembered what her brother Xiaojing had told her.
There's nothing I can do about it. She's been a good and obedient child since she was young.
The night was dark and the wind seemed to be getting stronger. The killers outside seemed to have discovered something and ran away from her in a disorderly manner.
Yun Ran was just about to change his movements to see what was going on outside when he heard a "bang" behind him.
She was startled, as she hadn't felt any murderous intent behind her just now.
She turned around suddenly and saw a big gray rabbit behind her, which had crashed into a big tree not far behind her.
Yun Ran: ...
In the moonlight, she looked at the fat, shiny-fur hare and couldn't help swallowing.
