Chapter 123 Narrow Road
“There’s… ah!”
The sound suddenly stopped. In the silent night, the sound seemed particularly shrill.
Yuan Ziyu was shocked. She didn't expect to encounter a murder case in Qingtan Mountain.
Yuan Ziyu looked at the sky. The moon had disappeared at some point, and the already dark forest seemed even darker.
A dark and windy night for murder!
For some reason, these words popped up in Yuan Ziyu's mind.
She had just killed two people and was feeling uncomfortable. Now she encountered such a scene again, so she naturally didn't want to get close.
Who knows what's going on over there? Huo Da is still unconscious in her Qiongjiang Pavilion, and she can't rely on him for the time being. Although she loves to stand up for the weak, she also understands the principle of doing things within her ability.
But sometimes, things don’t always go as we wish.
Just as Yuan Ziyu was about to find a way around, he heard quick footsteps coming from the front left.
A voice came over: "Old Eight, I told you to cover his mouth, why didn't you listen? You made such a big noise, what if those pawns found out? If the boss finds out, he'll skin you alive!"
"Hey, Fifth Brother, why are you blaming me?" A muffled voice rang out, "He's going to fire a flare. Shouldn't I finish him off quickly and wait for him to get more help?"
"Humph, you're right!"
Yuan Ziyu's heart moved when she heard this. She had lived in the borderland for a long time and grew up in the army. She naturally understood that the "pawns" referred to the officials and soldiers of the court. Could it be that these two people were bandits?
Yuan Ziyu hurriedly tried to hide to the side, looking for an opportunity to slip into the Qiongjiang Pavilion. She had just turned thirteen, how could she possibly be a match for two bandits who had been living on the edge of a knife for years?
"Who's there!" The bandit was sharp-eyed and saw Yuan Ziyu's figure from a distance, and immediately ran over!
Yuan Ziyou's heart skipped a beat, and he wanted to hide behind a big tree and use the tree's cover to enter the Qiongjiang Pavilion.
But……
A crossbow arrow flew through the air and stabbed towards the thief!
Then, a figure rushed over from behind and said to Yuan Ziyou, "Hide quickly and don't show your head!"
Yuan Ziyu looked at the clothes and found that they were exactly the same as Huo Da's. He immediately understood in his heart that this person was probably Huo Xifei's subordinate.
The next moment, Yuan Ziyu's heart began to tighten...
How many people did Brother Xi send to protect her?
If this person was also with Huo Da, then did he see him drugging Huo Da? If he saw it... Yuan Ziyou didn't dare to think about it anymore!
At the moment when Yuan Ziyu was stunned, Huo Er had already started fighting with the two bandits.
"Old Eight, while there aren't many of them here yet, quickly kill this kid, then kill that guy, and then retreat!" The fifth brother said to Old Eight while fighting with Huo Er.
It was too dark just now, and the fifth brother did not see Yuan Ziyu's appearance clearly.
"Okay!" Lao Ba danced with his pair of short swords with great vigor, and together with the fifth brother, he fought against Huo Er, and he actually seemed to have the upper hand.
With a "puff", Huo Er's left arm was cut by Lao Ba's dagger, and blood gushed out immediately.
Huo Er groaned, and the sword in his hand became sharper.
The sound of Huo Er being injured brought Yuan Ziyu back to her senses. At this moment, she no longer cared about whether Huo Er was with Huo Da. She quickly pulled out the whip from her waist and rushed out.
No matter what, people are trying their best to protect her safety at this moment. If she enters the Qiongjiang Pavilion without caring, she will definitely feel guilty.
"Yo!" The eighth brother whistled frivolously, "It's a woman again! Fifth brother, hurry up and get rid of this guy. It's just right to take this woman back with you. We brothers haven't had sex in a long time!"
"Hahaha, okay, Lao Ba, your idea is great!" The fifth brother also saw Yuan Ziyu, and heard Lao Ba say this, so how could he not agree.
"Looking for death!" Huo Er was immediately furious when he heard what the two said. With the sharp wind of his sword, he stabbed at the two men. This Miss Yuan Er was the prince's fiancée. How could she be bullied by these bandits? They were simply tired of living!
Old Eight's words made Yuan Ziyu even more furious. He narrowed his eyes and swung the whip in his hand. The whip seemed to have eyes and whipped towards Old Eight's mouth.
When Lao Ba saw that Yuan Ziyu was a girl, even though she was holding a whip, he did not take her seriously. He thought she was just a little girl who was using the whip to scare people for fun. How could she dare to fight against them, who were always fighting and showing off their brutality?
Therefore, Lao Ba was not on guard against Yuan Ziyu at all.
"Ah~~" Yuan Ziyu's whip hit Lao Ba's mouth, from his left temple to his right lower jaw, directly tore his skin and flesh.
"You damned woman, are you tired of living? How dare you whip your grandfather?" Old Eight was furious at the whip, and his vicious nature was revealed. He immediately left Huo Er and went towards Yuan Ziyu: "Wait until I catch you, I will make you live a life worse than death. Let's see if you dare to do evil to your grandfather again."
As he spoke, he felt a burning pain in his mouth, which made Lao Ba grimace and he became even more ruthless.
"Second Miss, get out of the way!" Huo Er was shocked. He wanted to leave the fifth brother behind and go to stop the eighth brother, but he was entangled by the fifth brother instead. He had to shout and let Yuan Ziyu run away quickly.
When Yuan Ziyu saw Lao Ba coming towards him, he hurriedly ran back!
"Run?" Seeing Yuan Ziyu turn around and run, Old Eight was not willing to let her go, so he chased after her: "You little bitch, I'll see where you run to. Stay where you are and don't make me, your grandfather, work hard. Maybe I can even consider that you are a woman and not let you suffer so much. Otherwise, hmph..."
Lao Ba chased after him and saw Yuan Ziyu standing next to a tree in the distance. He smiled triumphantly, "Humph, quite obedient!"
When he was not far from Yuan Ziyu, the eighth old man stopped and looked at Yuan Ziyu with lustful eyes. He raised his eyebrows and said, "Oh, I didn't realize it just now, but you are such a pretty girl. Don't worry, you will follow me from now on. I promise that you will never want to leave me!"
Yuan Ziyu stood beside the tree, and raised the corner of his mouth slightly: "Really?"
"Yes!" Lao Ba was so fascinated by Yuan Ziyu's smile that he no longer remembered the anger he felt when Yuan Ziyu slapped him in the face. He was about to step forward and hold Yuan Ziyu's hand.
only……
Eh? Why do I feel dizzy?
I feel so dizzy!
Lao Ba shook his head fiercely, squinted his eyes and looked at Yuan Ziyu, then suddenly realized: "You...you..."
Before he could finish his words, he fell to the ground with a plop and lost consciousness.
