Chapter 88 Wait, I'll poison him to death
There was still unmelted snow in the grass.
Gu Xixi lay there, feeling the cold air invading her back and the dry grass tips scratching her cheeks.
Mu Nanzhao's hoarse voice echoed in his ears, "Don't move."
Although he was pressing on her at the moment, he was half-supporting his body and not pressed tightly against her.
Gu Xixi was stiff and didn't dare to move. From time to time, someone ran quickly along the bushes. A little further away, the sound of weapons clashing never stopped.
After waiting for a while, there was finally no sound of enemies passing by near the bushes.
Mu Nanzhao stood up and took a look, then grabbed Gu Xixi and ran, "Don't look up, bend down as much as possible, there are archers nearby."
Gu Xixi did as Mu Nanzhao said, her heart pounding.
This experience was definitely a first for her.
The two men ran in the opposite direction, across the grass, and headed straight for a poplar forest.
Gu Xixi panted slightly and asked in a low voice, "Didn't you say it's best not to be alone?"
"We are getting further and further away from General Meng now. Is that okay?"
Mu Nanzhao scanned the surroundings like a hawk, and said, "There are too many people coming, and they also brought archers."
"If everyone stays there, it will be easier for the whole army to be wiped out. It is better to run separately and disrupt the enemy's layout."
Gu Xixi asked, "What if someone catches up with us?"
Mu Nanzhao suddenly stopped and dodged, hiding behind a tree with Gu Xixi.
He looked at the darkness ahead, his eyes sharp, "Just a few people are much easier to deal with than a group of cavalry."
"Hold your back against the tree trunk. No matter what you hear, don't move."
Gu Xixi nodded and did as she was told immediately.
Then he watched in surprise as Mu Nanzhao slowly pulled out a slender soft sword from his belt.
The blade is as thin as paper and as long as an arm when fully extended.
In the night ahead, five Beili soldiers were getting closer and closer, and their figures gradually appeared.
They were not riding horses, and each of them was holding a weapon.
Gu Xixi hugged her small cloth bag tightly and dared not look anymore.
But she could clearly feel the alluring aura of Mu Nanzhao, like a wild beast that could pounce at any time.
"Since they are chasing us, we will kill them all."
The soft sword broke through the air, making a bloodthirsty buzzing sound.
The Beili soldiers were shocked and hastily formed their battle formations to fight.
Gu Xixi squatted behind a tree and could only listen with her ears perked up to understand the battle situation.
She was not good at martial arts, so all she could do at this time was to protect herself and not cause trouble for Mu Nanzhao.
I don't know how many rounds of weapons were exchanged before the first scream was heard.
Gu Xixi thought to herself, this was not Mu Nanzhao's voice, it should be him who took down one of the opponents.
The moon tore through the clouds, and its light dispelled the darkness.
The battle became more intense and tense, and Gu Xixi suddenly heard a "whoosh" sound of something breaking through the air.
She looked in the direction of the sound and saw what was flying past her sight was clearly a feather arrow.
Gu Xixi was shocked when she thought of what Mu Nanzhao said, that there were archers among the enemies.
It was already difficult enough for Mu Nanzhao to fight five people alone.
Now with the moonlight shining, archers can sneak attack from a distance.
Isn't this a very unfavorable situation for Mu Nanzhao?
Gu Xixi no longer cared about being obedient and hiding. She crouched down, leaned her head against the tree trunk and looked forward.
Two Beili soldiers were lying on the ground, and there were three left fighting against Mu Nanzhao.
The three of them attacked together, and the soft sword in Mu Nanzhao's hand was not to be outdone, and blood was seen wherever it was swung.
Two more cold arrows shot towards us one after another.
Mu Nanzhao had obviously noticed the presence of the archer.
He kicked the person in front of him away, then immediately blocked an arrow with his backhand, but he still missed it.
The feather arrow grazed his right arm, leaving a bloody mark.
Gu Xixi's heart sank suddenly. Oh no, he was injured.
When Beili Bing saw that Mu Nanzhao was injured, he attacked his right arm even more frantically.
Mu Nanzhao had just recovered from his old injury and there was still poison in his body, so he was not suitable for a long battle.
He was obviously struggling. His previous moves were all offensive, but now he was mostly on the defensive.
Gu Xixi's heart was about to jump out of her throat. If this continued, she would definitely be finished!
She crouched back behind the tree and forced herself to calm down and think.
What should we do?
With her abilities, what can she do now? What is the most important thing she should do...
Archer...
Oh, right, archers!
At this moment, the archer is in the dark and Mu Nanzhao is in the light.
Only by dealing with the archers will there be a chance to turn the situation around.
Gu Xixi took out a diamond-shaped bronze mirror from the cloth bag.
She bought a palm-sized mirror and put it in her bag to use when she goes out to tidy up her appearance.
Gu Xixi aimed the mirror at the moon and adjusted the angle so that the moonlight could be reflected on it.
Sure enough, a spot of light was successfully shone on the tree trunk behind.
At this time, another arrow was shot out. Gu Xixi seized the opportunity and reflected the moonlight in that direction.
With God's blessing, the silver arrow tip reflected a cold light in the place where the light spot illuminated.
The opportunity was only a moment away. Gu Xixi didn't care about hiding herself anymore and immediately shouted, "Mu Nanzhao, kill him at the first angle due north and west!"
Before she could finish her words, Mu Nanzhao had already pulled out a feather arrow from the ground and threw it out with his backhand.
There was a muffled groan and the sound of someone falling to the ground.
Almost at the same time, Mu Nanzhao swung his soft sword, and blood burst out from the neck of a Beili soldier.
There are only two enemies left on the field, one of whom is injured.
The advantage once again turned back to Mu Nanzhao.
Gu Xixi was also surprised to find that the place where the archer was hiding was only seven or eight steps away from her.
Thinking that we are not sure whether the person is dead or not, there are still variables after all.
She hesitated for a moment, took out a packet of medicine powder, opened it and held it in her palm, then slowly crawled over along the ground.
There is dense dead grass growing under a poplar tree.
Gu Xixi bravely approached, and suddenly the grass moved. Without thinking, she scattered all the powder far away.
At the same time, lie down on the ground and cover your mouth and nose.
This was the first time she had mixed the poison herself.
After examining the medicine, the old doctor said that the craftsmanship was excellent, the powder was fine and of high purity, and it would be effective whether taken orally or inhaled.
The moon disappeared into the clouds again and the surroundings became dark again.
Gu Xixi lay quietly, her ears still perked up to listen to the noise.
First there was a sound of someone falling to the ground and twitching in the grass, followed by a continuous sound of vomiting.
Gu Xixi counted the steps carefully in her mind. During the first step, her body stiffened and twitched, and she couldn't move.
The second step is vomiting until vomiting blood.
The third step is to die from abdominal pain...
She hadn't had the heart to experiment on living things before, so she took this opportunity to observe the drug's reaction.
The rustling of the dry grass became more and more intense.
Maybe the man's body was twitching even more violently because of the severe pain in his abdomen.
Gu Xixi was so focused on waiting for the archer to be poisoned to death that she forgot to notice that the noise outside the woods had subsided.
Mu Nanzhao dealt with all the Beili soldiers.
He drew his sword and walked towards the poplar tree where Gu Xixi had originally hidden. After thinking for a moment, he stopped again.
The long sword flew out into the air, and with a fierce shock, the blood stain was cleared away in an instant.
Ordinary people are not used to seeing blood, and he doesn't want to see Gu Xixi get so shocked.
But when Mu Nanzhao went around the tree, he found that there was no one there?
