Chapter 266 A fierce fight
Just behind Gu Xixi and He Jinglan, a group of men in black swarmed in. There were so many of them, at least thirty or forty people.
Today's situation is indeed unusual.
In the past, when the men in black appeared, they either sneaked in alone or in groups of three or five, trying to keep a low profile.
But at this time they did not avoid people at all. They gathered in a group on the official road in broad daylight, chasing all the way with weapons in their hands.
Firstly, with the Northwestern Army leaving the country, these people were a little less fearful.
Secondly, the Northwest Army was advancing towards the capital city with victory after victory, and the Empress Dowager's court was getting anxious. The people behind the scenes had issued a strong order, demanding that all the remaining assassins and secret agents be mobilized to capture the hostages at all costs.
For these men in black, failure to complete the mission means death.
But if he tried his best to complete the mission, as long as he was lucky enough not to fall into the hands of the Northwest Army, he could survive.
Everyone knows how to choose.
With this group of professional killers chasing them relentlessly, how long can two women who don't know martial arts escape?
Hearing the panting and footsteps getting closer behind her, Gu Xixi became very anxious.
"Listen to me, I'll hold them back, you run! Anyway, they want to catch me alive, so they won't do anything to me."
"As long as we get to the village entrance, you can bring people to rescue me!"
He Jinglan ran, glanced at Gu Xixi, and gritted her teeth.
"OK."
"Then you must hold on and try to delay as much time as possible."
The eyes of both of them became sharp at the same time.
Gu Xixi counted in a low voice: "One, two,
When she counted to "three", Gu Xixi suddenly stopped and turned around. She covered her arms with her left arm and threw out her right hand quickly.
The medicinal powder drew an arc in the air, spreading a light yellow dust mist.
Recently, Gu Xixi has been practicing throwing movements with fine sand in her spare time, and her efforts have finally paid off.
The poison spread over a large area, affecting the area within the radius closest to Gu Xixi.
Several men in black hurriedly covered their noses and retreated, but it was too late.
Their expressions changed drastically and they fell to the ground holding their stomachs.
It’s a pity that there is no wind at this time.
If it goes with the wind, it can poison even more people.
Gu Xixi won the first battle and was quite happy. She reached out and grabbed another packet of medicine, ready to kill everyone and try to buy some time to ask He Jinglan for help.
However, she was horrified to find that the men in black who fell to the ground quickly took out a pill and ate it.
The other men in black who were not poisoned did not care about the lives of their companions. They took out leather masks and put them on their faces, covering their mouths and noses tightly.
"Damn it!" A poisoned man in black cursed while sitting on the ground.
"Why didn't anyone tell me that the woman we were going to catch could poison me?"
"Luckily, they said we had to fight to the death this time, so I had to be fully prepared. That's why I brought all my equipment with me. Otherwise, I would really die here!"
The man in black who was poisoned to death by Gu Xixi had already been dealt with silently by Madam Liu and others.
Therefore, no relevant information was leaked.
That's why Gu Xixi's attack just now was so unexpected.
But now...
Thinking that Gu Xixi had no way to fight back, the killers did not waste any more time.
Several people approached at the same time and reached out to grab Gu Xixi.
It's a critical moment, a matter of life and death.
Gu Xixi closed her eyes tightly.
At the same time, an indigo figure came gracefully, and the silver sword flowers broke through the air, forcing those people to retreat.
However, before the sword's owner could stand firmly, his sixth sense suddenly sensed something was wrong, and he immediately dodged at an angle.
But I saw a large amount of white dust rolling up.
The man in the indigo brocade robe couldn't help but frown and raised his sleeves to cover his face as usual.
All I could hear was the screams, "My eyes!"
"Why do my eyes hurt so much! I can't open them!"
Gu Xixi closed her eyes and said calmly, "If you don't inhale it, I can't poison you to death."
"But I can blind you. This is extracted from nettles and oleander. It will burn your eyes. If you don't find a place to wash it quickly, not only will your eyes be lost, but you will also be poisoned slowly."
The pain of blindness was extraordinary, and several men in black immediately ran to find water.
At this time, Gu Xixi heard the tinkling sound again.
She had experience and it was clearly the sound of weapons colliding.
It's impossible for the man in black to fight himself.
Reinforcements have arrived!
Gu Xixi opened her eyes in surprise, and first saw the man in the blue robe with the ordinary face of "Chen Yuan".
But his face looked full of displeasure at the moment.
"Gu Xixi, just spray the medicine, but at least give a signal. Do you want to blind the person who saved you?!"
Mu Nanzhao still feels scared when he thinks about it now.
When he was about to leave, he realized something was wrong, and hurriedly brought people over, only to see Gu Xixi in danger.
Naturally, he came over to rescue the man immediately, but before he could stand firmly, he was almost hit head-on with a handful of powder.
Gu Xixi knew she was in the wrong and said, "I'm sorry, I threw it with my eyes closed just now and didn't see you. It just so happened that... it happened by chance."
She stepped forward to check Mu Nanzhao's face, "Are you okay? Did you inhale it? Is your eye okay?"
Mu Nanzhao was about to speak when his eyes suddenly became fierce. He reached out and grabbed Gu Xixi, pulling her towards him, and swung out the long sword in his right hand.
Several men in black dodged Mu Nanzhao's attack and jumped back.
There were a dozen people brought by Mu Nanzhao nearby, falling around like raindrops.
Without a single unnecessary word, they met the men in black and engaged in hand-to-hand combat.
The men in black knew that if they delayed any further, their hope would only become slimmer, so they attacked like crazy.
Some people scattered in groups of two or three, responsible for holding back Mu Nanzhao's secret guards.
More than a dozen masters gathered together and launched an intensive attack on Mu Nanzhao.
Each move was ruthless and aimed at the vital points from every angle.
Anyway, their superiors only asked them to capture hostages, but didn't say to leave anyone else alive!
In order to avoid exposing his whereabouts, Mu Nanzhao could not use his own soft sword and could only find a long sword at random.
His weapon was not handy enough, and he also had to protect Gu Xixi, so gradually, Mu Nanzhao began to find it difficult.
Gu Xixi reminded anxiously, "Let me go and focus on dealing with them first!"
"They won't kill me anyway!"
Mu Nanzhao just glanced at her but didn't let go.
Two men in black looked at each other. It seemed that this man's weakness was this woman, so they used this woman to distract him!
The killer will do whatever it takes to complete his mission.
The two men suddenly changed direction and attacked Gu Xixi.
Mu Nanzhao had just stabbed someone and it was too late for him to block with his sword. He could only turn sideways and take the blow on his shoulder.
Mu Nanzhao thrust his sword back, piercing one of them directly in the chest, and kicked the other one away.
The bright red blood flowed out, soaking the blue, which was particularly eye-catching.
Gu Xixi's heart trembled, and she rushed over to support him, "Mu...how are you?"
At this moment, her heart seemed to be grasped tightly by an invisible hand, causing her pain and sorrow.
