The rebirth of the son-in-law

Early the next morning, Song Zhi was woken up by the people in the guest house.After washing, she still went out in women's attire, and met the maid who came to pick her up at the door of the guest house.

The maid was pulling two horses, one of which was the black horse that Xie Ji had made available for her to ride to Jiangling. The whole body was pitch black, like a piece of charcoal.Song Zhi patted the black horse's head, and greeted happily: "Do you still know me?"

The black horse snorted and lowered its head so that Song Zhi could reach its mane.Song Zhi comforted it, then turned over and sat up, and smiled at the maid who lisuo got on the horse: "Don't keep Xi Ji waiting, let's go."

The two left the guest house and headed towards the north of the city.After leaving the city gate, Song Zhi saw Xi Ji sitting on a horse, wearing a Hu suit.The Hufu she wears is a bit like the military uniform in later TV dramas, with slim fit and narrow sleeves, very heroic.Yan Ji has a good figure and a slender waist, but her face is full of arrogance and domineering, which completely destroys the softness and strength of a Jingchu woman.

"Xi Ji's clothes look good." Song Zhi praised without hesitation, "It looks very heroic."

Xi Ji proudly said: "That's natural. Hey, why didn't you bring a bow and arrow?"

Song Zhiwei wondered: "Bows and arrows are really hard to buy. So I had no choice but to buy them empty-handed. Let's see how well you are doing."

Xi Ji smiled and said, "Fortunately, I'm smart." She asked someone to give Song Zhi a bow, and another set of arrows.

Song Zhi only took the arrow, but rejected the bow: "I don't like to use a bow, because I'm not strong enough. Just give me a repeating crossbow."

"How do you know I have a crossbow?" Xie Ji asked strangely as she handed the crossbow to her.

"Your bows are all military equipment, and not all of your maids can draw bows, most of them use crossbows. How can it be possible that there are only bows but no repeating crossbows?"

"Then do you know how I got these things?"

Song Zhi sneered and said, "I'm not interested. But I think it's mostly because the Shen family is powerful in the Changsha Kingdom. It shouldn't be a problem to get a few guns. After all, money is everything."

Xi Ji tilted her head, thought for a while, then smiled lightly, "Ah Zhi is right, money is everything."

The two laughed for a while, and led the maids into the forest.In fact, it was still snowing in Jingzhou at this time, and the ground was very wet, and occasionally a little snow could be seen.It is said that Chen Dynasty's ecological environment is well protected, and any place can become a first-class protected area, so it is really cold when it is cold, and Song Zhi was so cold that he was sucked by the water dripping from the forest.

The bare branches had lost their leaves long ago, and apart from a few crows, there were no ghosts in the forest, let alone any pheasants.

Song Zhibai followed behind Xi Ji boredly, walking farther and farther, after walking for half an hour, it seemed that he had already entered the mountain.The horseshoes stepped on the rotten leaves and dead branches of the soil, making a sound, rustling, and the silence in the mountain was even more permeable.

Suddenly, Xi Ji lowered her voice and called out: "There!"

Song Zhi reacted immediately, set up the crossbow and filled it with arrows, and Xi Ji had already knocked on the horse's belly and galloped over, aiming at the pheasant looking for food on the ground with an arrow.

The arrow stuck in the soil one step away from the pheasant, revealing half of the arrow shaft and arrow feathers, which disturbed the leisurely pheasant. It flapped its wings and flew forward for a short distance, leaving only a colorful feather on the ground.

Seeing that Xi Ji ran away after the pheasant, Song Zhi hurriedly asked the maid to follow her, she was not good at equestrian skills, and she couldn't run in this kind of place, so he said anxiously: "Xi Ji wait for me!"

Hearing her cry, Xi Ji turned her head and smiled lightly at her: "Ah Zhi, come quickly, I'll be waiting for you!" Then she whipped the horse and quickly chased the pheasant away.

The maids were divided into two groups, fifteen of them went with Xi Ji, and the remaining five took care of Song Zhi, and walked slowly towards the exit.

It's just that Xi Ji ran farther and farther, Song Zhi was still slow, and after a while, the two of them completely disappeared.

Song Zhi sighed helplessly: "No wonder your brother locks you up after you go back, and I would do the same thing if I were to." Personal heroism is terrible!What if there is any danger?

She had no choice but to turn her head and said to the five anxious maids: "Go to her quickly, and don't let her be in danger. I'm fine, you go quickly."

"How can this be done?" The maid who went to pick her up this morning said nervously, "Miss Song's safety is also very important. It's better to let Xiao Nu stay and protect Miss Song."

"That's fine. But it's fine if you stay, and the rest of the people hurry to find Xi Ji." Seeing her firmness, Song Zhi knew that if everyone left, Xi Ji would be unhappy, so he agreed to come along.

In the end, only Song Zhi and the maid were left.

"What's your name?" Song Zhi asked.

"My daughter-in-law named Qing Nu."

"Qing Nu?" Song Zhi called softly, "Xi Ji has always been like this, like to lead the way when hunting?"

"Not only my daughter-in-law likes to be the first when hunting, but so does my master."

It turns out that there is a family genetic inheritance.Song Zhi nodded knowingly, and said with a smile: "In the future, we still have to persuade her if we have a chance, otherwise we will hunt so forgetfully, what shall we do?"

Qing Nu said: "In the past, my son-in-law didn't like to hug each other in the middle school, but now when he comes out, he wants to have a good time."

While chatting, Song Zhi and Qing Nu walked to the fork, Song Zhi stopped his horse and said: "We'd better wait here, maybe they have found Xi Ji and will be back soon."

"Here."

Not long after he finished talking, he heard the sound of horseshoes rushing from the left path, Song Zhi smiled and said, "Sure enough."

She was about to hit the horse forward, but Qing Nu frowned, and hurriedly said: "No, this is not ours. Our horses are not so loud. There are at least thirty people who heard the hooves of the horses, and they are divided into two groups, one in front and one in back. The horses are mostly Liangzhou or Bingzhou horses, and they are very powerful, and the visitors are not good." She jumped off the horse, lay on the ground listening to the hoofbeats, and distinguished.

Seeing that she was cautious, Song Zhi secretly wondered where Qing Nu acquired the skill of being an elite scout in the army. She had only heard it mentioned by Hou Ming'an and Princess Xianning from the personal guards of the Princess Mansion before, but she actually saw it today.Although the data may not be accurate, but Song Zhi has experienced too many such unlucky things, he would rather believe it than believe it.She got off the horse, put the quiver on her back, held the crossbow, and said solemnly to Qing Nu: "Let's lie in ambush on both sides to see what's going on, and if these people meet Xi Ji, we can also create chaos and let the Xi Ji evacuated."

To put it nicely, it is actually telling Qing Nu that if these people are not good people and are unfortunately met by Xi Ji, and Xi Ji is held hostage, they can do some tricks to create opportunities for Xi Ji to escape.Of course Song Zhi didn't have such confidence in herself anymore, but she did have some ideas about this Qing Nu who had the ability to be an elite scout in the army.

Qing Nu obeyed her wishes, and the two pulled the horse into the woods on a high slope, then lay down in the grass, quickly moved to the edge of the cliff, and stared down at the path on the left.Soon, more than a dozen northern soldiers were chasing a carriage on eight-foot-high horses, all holding knives in their hands, shouting to kill.

The carriage in front was about to be overtaken, and the person sitting in the driver's seat was a thin man, his whole body in black was cut to pieces by knives, and his body seemed to be stiff as he pulled the rein of the horse.

Song Zhi waited for him to get closer, and suddenly found that the man's face was pale, his eye sockets were sunken, and the skeleton under the black clothes was slender and weak, as if his body had been hollowed out by wine.It's close, this person looks familiar to her.

Getting closer, Song Zhi recognized him.The driver was sweating all over his face and looked embarrassed, but Song Zhi still recognized him as Mr. Dou Tudou, the secretary of the Princess Mansion.

Song Zhi's legs were almost weak. When she saw that Dou Tu was about to be caught up by the vicious pursuers, she didn't care to guess why Dou Tu appeared here, so she quickly raised her crossbow and aimed at the chaser who shouted the most. The soldier turned the mechanism.

Three iron arrows flew out from the arrows of the Liannu, one pierced into a soldier, and the other shot at the forehead of the fierce pursuer, piercing through the entire head, protruding from the back of the head, even the force of inertia The man nailed down the horse.The last one hit the horse's leg. The horse was frightened and knocked the soldier on its back to the ground. The people behind couldn't avoid it. The horse's hoof stepped on it directly. A hole was stepped on the chest of the soldier on the ground, and blood flowed from it Mouth sprayed out.

After she shot three arrows, Qing Nu reacted, took three arrows, put on the bow and drew the string, pointed at the other three, and let go of the arrows.

"what!"

"what!"

"what!"

The three soldiers fell in response, each with an arrow in their throat.

Song Zhi was dumbfounded, she relied entirely on luck and the equipment of Liannu to shoot and kill three people, while Qing Nu just pulled the bow casually and killed three people lightly.Those three people died precisely because of the arrow piercing their throats, which shows that Qing Nu's ability is definitely not third-rate, and it is likely to be comparable to Princess Xianning's swordsmanship.

Eager to save Dou Tu, Song Zhi suppressed the panic and nausea of ​​murder.The other party killed six people, and immediately realized that they dispersed. Song Zhi shot only one with his crossbow, but Qing Nu still shot one at a time, either in the throat or between the eyebrows, with every shot.

The opponent slowed down, and there were only nine people left.At this time, they were already close to Song Zhi's hiding place, and even the crossbow, bow and arrow were useless.Qing Nu signaled Song Zhi to step back slowly, and the two of them took a few steps back. Someone was about to climb up from below. Song Zhi casually grabbed a wooden stick that was wet from the melting snow, and charged at the top of that person's head. With one blow, the man screamed and fell down.

However, a person climbed up from the other side, with a murderous look on his face, seeing that Song Zhi and Qing Nu were both women, he was so angry that he raised his knife and slashed at Song Zhi's head: "Go to hell!"

Song Zhi held up the wood to resist, but the soldier's knife directly chopped off the wood and slashed at the top of Song Zhi's head.Qing Nu looked down and saw a stone. He kicked hard and hit the soldier's hand. The soldier felt the pain and let go of his hand. The knife fell to the ground. Song Zhi picked it up and hit it with his backhand.

After killing the soldiers, the blood splashed on Song Zhi's body, still warm.Song Zhi escaped after the robbery, still in shock, saw another one coming behind Qing Nu, and quickly threw the knife at Qing Nu.Qing Nu took the saber, turned back to pick up the soldier's weapon, and struck down hard, cutting the soldier in half from shoulder to waist. He didn't even look at it, and faced the people who kept climbing up.
