Martial Lord

"Jin Yiwei is ordered to arrest Zhang Qiling, a key criminal of the imperial court. Anyone who harbors a key criminal, or who is in the same rank, will be killed without mercy!"

Before he finished speaking, burning arrows flew from all directions.

This drastic change came so suddenly, flying meteors pierced the silent night, Wu Xie let out an exclamation, barely dodged a rocket, and the scorching flames scorched Wu Xie's cheeks with pain.He looked down, only to see that the ground below was full of officers and soldiers.

"Brave thief! Capture him without a fight!"

Faced with such a battle, Wu Shandang's little shopkeeper couldn't help but panic: "Brother! What's going on? How could Jin Yiwei..."

"go!"

Before Wu Xie could finish speaking, Zhang Qiling picked him up and jumped into the courtyard.

The fire quickly spread in the courtyard, and the people of the court came in a menacing manner, obviously they came prepared and did not intend to explain to them at all.Wu Xie knew that this was not the time to ask questions, but Wu Shan took it as his painstaking effort, how could he do it if he wanted him to watch this place burn down!

"Brother!" Wu Xie gritted his teeth and asked, "What's going on?"

"There is only one person who can mobilize Jin Yiwei." Zhang Qiling said suddenly.

Wu Xie was taken aback: "It's the current saint——"

Wu Xie subconsciously covered her mouth, and her heart sank.

It turns out that the matter of the Huo family and Mrs. Huo... have all been explained. It turns out that 'he', like his father, wants 'longevity'. "Since Jin Yiwei is here, my brother's identity must have been exposed. Regardless of who leaked the secret, now that the copper fish has been destroyed, my brother is the last person in the world who has seen the heavenly book, will they still give him a way out? Wu Xie didn't dare to think about it, and he didn't have time to think about it, because Jin Yiwei had already broken into the mansion.

"We have to inform Fatty and them." Wu Xie said anxiously.

"There is no time, their target is us, let's go!"

Before Wu Xie had time to react, he felt his feet were empty.In an instant, Zhang Qiling had already led him and leaped down the roof.The black gold ancient knife pierced the night sky, and when the knife was raised and dropped, a person screamed and fell off the horse.Wu Xie remembered this voice, it was the Commander of the Jin Yiwei who had spoken just now.When shooting a man, shoot a horse first, and when capturing a thief, first capture the king.The little brother was merciless with this knife, the man twitched twice after falling off the horse and then lost his breath.

The commander made the adjutant beside him turn pale with fright, and said angrily, "Zhang Qiling! How dare you kill the imperial court——ahhhhh!"

Before he finished speaking, Zhang Qiling cut off his hair crown with a knife. The man was shocked and fell to the ground with disheveled hair. When he raised his head again, the ancient black gold knife was pointed at the tip of his nose.

"Tell your men to stand down."

Zhang Qiling's tone was still not fluctuating, as if he was saying the most ordinary thing, doing the most ordinary thing.

The adjutant was so frightened that he waved his hands nervously: "Back off! Everyone back down!"

Jin Yiwei was originally a first-class master, but now seeing Zhang Qiling beheading their boss with a single knife, and the adjutant's life was in danger, he did not dare to act rashly.Wu Shandang was already on fire, and now Jin Yiwei was surrounded here, Wu Xie only hoped that the time they procrastinated could leave a glimmer of life for Wang Meng and others.

Seeing that Jin Yiwei dispersed one after another and made way for them, Zhang Qiling whispered to Wu Xie: "Get on the horse."

Wu Xie immediately understood, without even thinking about it, she stepped on the commander's horse, stretched out her hand to Zhang Qiling and said, "Brother!"

Zhang Qiling didn't move.

Wu Xie immediately understood his intention, and her heart tightened: "Zhang Qiling! Don't even think about it! If you don't leave, I won't leave either!"

After all, Wu Xie made a gesture to dismount.During this hesitation, a cold arrow shot at Wu Xie, Zhang Qiling's eyes suddenly turned cold, and he split the arrow that was close to the tip of Wu Xie's nose with a knife. The arrow deviated, and a bloodstain was drawn on the side of Wu Xie's face.Zhang Qiling flew on the horse, stood behind Wu Xie, raised two fingers, and shot the half arrow into the crowd.

With a scream, the archer fell to the ground!

Wu Xie was still in shock, so she heard Zhang Qiling say "Let's go!"

The moment the body temperature approached, Wu Xie's heart was settled, and he immediately grabbed the reins and shouted: "Drive!"

In the flames soaring into the sky, the horse carried the two of them out of the encirclement.Without waiting for an order, arrows rained down on them.Wu Xie turned her head, only to see the soaring fire, the rain of arrows, and the shocking killing intent.Wu Xie clamped the horse's belly tightly and urged the horse to run fast.However, after running all the way, the people behind him were chasing him closely, Wu Xie couldn't help being anxious.

"Brother, you can't get rid of them!"

Zhang Qiling tightened his grip on Wu Xie's waist, and said, "Leave the city."

"The gates of the city haven't opened at this time." It's not yet dawn, and it's the curfew time, so it's hard for them to escape outside the city.

"Break out!"

After Zhang Daxia finished speaking, he slapped the horse's buttocks with the handle of the knife.The horse was in pain, raised its front hooves and let out a long cry, and rushed out like the wind.

Wu Xie drove his horse to the gate of the city with all his strength, and when he saw that the gate was closed, he tightened the reins and looked around.Jin Yiwei was not far behind them, and he would rush over in a short time. If they gathered the soldiers defending the city, he and his younger brother would be under the enemy's back and there would be no way out.

Suddenly, there was a booming sound, and miraculously, the huge city gate slowly opened before their eyes.

"Innocent!"

Wu Xie followed the prestige, and saw the fat man standing on the high wall, taking a breather; at the other end, the black blind man had just put down a guard, and waved his hand coquettishly: "It's stuffy in the room, come out to let the wind out, what a coincidence, mistress Lord!"

Seeing that they were safe, Wu Xie was overjoyed, and was about to speak, but there was a roar of killing behind him.

"Grandchildren! Grandpa is here, come up if you can!" Seeing that the pursuers had arrived, the fat man yelled, and said to Wu Xie at the bottom of the city, "Go! Leave this to us!"

The city gate opened slowly, and Wu Xie saw that the sky had turned pale.At daybreak, it would be harder for them to hide, and he couldn't help hesitating at this time.Silently said "Treasure" in his heart, Wu Xie gritted his teeth and said, "Brother, hurry up, let's rush out!"

The steed rushed towards the city gate like a sword leaving the string, and the vitality was close at hand, and Wu Xie did not dare to relax for a moment.Suddenly, a crisp whistle sounded, and the horse seemed to have heard some instructions, suddenly raised its front hooves, and ran towards the original road.

Wu Xie was shocked and pulled the rein tightly: "Come back! Come back to me! Don't run away!"

However, the horse seemed to be crazy, and did not respond to Wu Xie's obstruction.

This is the signal from the horse trainer. Jin Yiwei's horses have undergone strict training and will never go against the will of the horse trainer.It was too late to say it, but it was so fast, Zhang Qiling frowned, suddenly swung his knife, and stabbed neatly at the horse's back.The horse was in pain, raised its front hooves, and ruthlessly threw the two of them off the horse.Wu Xie lost his balance and was about to hit the ground, but at the critical moment, he was rolled by Zhang Qiling. While avoiding the impact, he also avoided the rain of arrows.Vaguely, he seemed to hear Zhang Qiling snorted.

Wu Xie endured his dizziness and got up, the first thing he did was to see Zhang Qiling who had also fallen: "Brother, are you alright?"

"Let's go." Without saying a word, Zhang Qiling took Wu Xie's hand and fled like a city gate again.

Without the strength of their feet, they will be overtaken by Jin Yiwei soon. The only suitable place to hide around here is on the mountain. If they can hide in the mountain before dawn, they will still have a chance.The fat man and the black glasses were still stalling for time on the city wall. Amidst the shouts of killing, the city gate closed behind them.Wu Xie didn't dare to look back, and ran towards the path under the guidance of Zhang Qiling.

The mountain road is winding and the woods are dense.

A small company of guards crossed the path and joined another pair on the hillside.

"Report! No fugitives were found on the mountainside!"

"Continue to search! Search carefully for me! There is an order from the Holy Spirit to find people even after digging three feet!"

"Yes!"

The two teams staggered and continued to search in other directions.Above their heads, the exhausted young man breathed a sigh of relief.

Among the luxuriant leaves, on the branches of the trees, Zhang Qiling led Wu Xie to hide in it, and could clearly see the scene below.

"Brother, what should we do now?" Wu Xie grabbed Zhang Qiling's lapel and asked softly, forcing himself to ignore the swaying branches and the height that made him sweat.

There was silence for a while, Wu Xie only thought that Zhang Qiling was on guard that the other party did not go far, and he was busy waiting with bated breath.However, after a while, he raised his head, and his heart sank.

I saw that Zhang Qiling's forehead was covered with fine beads of sweat, his eyelids were half-closed, and his pupils were dilated, as if he was enduring some torment.

It's Dementia!

If they don't come sooner or later, but it happened at this time, is it true that the sky is going to kill them?

"Brother! Brother!"

Wu Xie was sweating anxiously. His whole body was supported by Zhang Qiling, and his hands were used to maintain his balance. He didn't dare to move at all, and he was worried that he would attract pursuers, so he didn't even dare to yell.Seeing that Zhang Qiling's condition was getting worse and worse, his mind went blank, and he didn't even think about it in a hurry, he raised his head and bit Zhang Qiling's neck fiercely.

The neck is the lifeblood of a warrior, and it is most likely to arouse a person's subconscious reaction. Wu Xie was ready to be beaten away in the next second, but unexpectedly, Zhang Qiling grunted in pain, but did not move his hands.Wu Xie looked at it and couldn't help being surprised again.

I saw that Zhang Qiling's right wrist was swollen out of shape at some point, and even the bending posture was very strange.Only then did he recall the scene when he fell from the horse before, thinking that the younger brother must have been injured trying to protect himself.Wu Xie was anxious and didn't care about the sound, so he could only use all his strength, kicking and biting, and finally called back Zhang Qiling's lax mind.

"Brother! Brother, wake up! Look at me, I'm Wu Xie!"

The focus gradually condensed, Zhang Qiling's eyes regained clarity, he lowered his head, looked at the head that was resting on his neck, and turned slightly to one side, then met Wu Xie's four lips intentionally or unintentionally.

"Wu Xie?"

Wu Xie was overjoyed, and didn't even care about the embarrassment, and hurriedly said, "Are you awake?"

Zhang Qiling didn't speak, just closed his eyes and rested for a while.But judging from his breath, he should be fine.After confirming that there was no one around, Zhang Qiling led Wu Xie down from the tree.

As soon as he touched the ground, Wu Xie immediately said, "Brother, did your hand hurt?"

Zhang Qiling looked at his swollen right hand, moved it a few times, frowned, then changed the ancient black gold knife to his left hand, and said lightly: "Small injury."

They are all swollen as big as the mouth of a bowl, is it called a minor injury?Wu Xie didn't bother to argue with him, so she directly grabbed his right hand and said, "They've already searched this place, and they won't be coming back for a while, I'll hurry up and bandage it up for you, don't move!"

Wu Xie's eyes were firm and unquestionable, Zhang Qiling looked at him, but didn't insist anymore.

They fled in a hurry and had no medicine with them, so Wu Xie could only simply fix his injured wrist with rags.When he thought that this injury was caused by himself again, he was inevitably disappointed.However, the current situation does not allow him to feel sorry for himself, and the situation of the younger brother makes him even more worried.Wu Xie noticed sensitively that Zhang Qiling didn't seem to feel any difference when it came to his loss of soul attack, and he was a little too calm.Could it be that these things are not the first time?

Noticing that Zhang Qiling's eyes were drooping and he looked a little tired, Wu Xie said, "Brother, I'll get you some water."

Before he got up, his wrist was tightly grasped, Zhang Qiling didn't raise his head, but said solemnly: "Don't go, it's dangerous."

Wu Xie was startled, and then his heart tightened.

After a while, he put his palm on the man's hand and said patiently: "It's okay, look, the water is just ahead."

Even he could hear the sound of running water clearly, the stream was clearly ten steps away from them, but Zhang Qiling seemed unconscious.It seems that every time the loss of soul attack occurs, it erodes his whole body quite severely, and the speed of recovery is getting slower and slower.Maybe it won't be long before he can't even listen to his own words... Wu Xie didn't dare to think about it, so he hurried to find water, wrapped it in a large leaf and brought it back.

After Zhang Qiling drank the water, his eyes gradually recovered calm and clear, and he seemed to be all right, Wu Xie heaved a sigh of relief, and sat down beside him.

"It was my fault."

Wu Xie was startled, thinking that he had heard wrongly, he looked at Zhang Qiling.

"what?"

Zhang Qiling shook his head: "I shouldn't hesitate."

If Wu Xie was the first to break through at that moment and let him attract Jin Yiwei, Wu Xie could take advantage of the chaos and hide. With the Wu family around, he would naturally be able to go back safely after a while, but...he hesitated.He actually wanted to keep Wu Xie behind desperately, and wanted him to spend more time with him, but the last little time he was asking for almost killed Wu Xie.

Wu Xie listened, his brows furrowed deeper and deeper, and he couldn't help saying: "When did you still say such things! Even if you send me away, I will still find you."

"Even if I'm not me anymore?"

Facing the sudden questioning, Wu Xie was dumbfounded.

Otherwise, he would nod without hesitation.But at this moment, after he had witnessed the severity of the loss of soul disease with his own eyes, he hesitated.Judging from the state just now, the little brother's soul-loss disease is getting worse and worse, and he will probably not even know who he is in a few days. If Zhang Qiling really wants to get rid of him at that time, he has nothing to do.

Facing Wu Xie's silence, Zhang Qiling sighed softly.

"Go back." He stroked the bloodstain on Wu Xie's face, and said calmly, "I can only walk the road ahead by myself."

——And I have no ability to protect you anymore.
