Four in the same order

Hongmeng 73, January [-]th, Yinchu, Jizhou, Qingyang, Manhua County, Yifeng County.

Yifeng County is famous for its flowers and plants. The five counties in the county are all colorful and full of flowers. However, unlike the large flat flower fields and grasslands in the other four counties, the flowers and plants produced in Manhua County come from the inexhaustible natural treasure house in the county. ——Manhua Mountain, which is surrounded by thousands of plants and flowers.

Manhua Mountain is a small mountain with an area of ​​500 hectares and a height of [-] meters. The mountain is full of beautiful flowers and grasses, but it is not easy to see tall trees. It is the only lush fruit tree bearing bright red and fresh fruits. It also grows in the middle of the rocky, steepest mountain tops, and is rarely seen.

In the past at this time, hard-working flower farmers with baskets and scissors on their backs could be seen on the mountain roads of Manhua Mountain, but since Zheng Xianghui, the lively and lovely second sister of the Zheng family in the county, disappeared in the mountain three days ago, no one dared to go up the mountain to pick flowers.

People in the county are spreading rumors that Second Sister Zheng was swallowed by a fierce beast hidden on the mountain. Ten years ago, Second Sister Zheng’s father was killed because of this. The existence of Manhua County and Zheng's family faded away in Central Capital, but the few families who lived on the mountainside before the incident moved to a county with better security at the foot of the mountain.

At this time, the fierce beast is still hiding in the mountain, who would dare to go up the mountain rashly to die?

I just feel sorry for Zheng Xiangzhi, the older sister of Zheng Ermei. When she saw her biological father killed by a ferocious beast, she had been depressed for several years. She finally got out of the shadows some time ago, and married Du Yuncai, the daughter of the Du family who has been actively enlightening her. But after a few days of happy life, the second sister Zheng disappeared again.

But this is not the worst. I heard that the beast appeared on the top of the mountain half an hour ago. The official who came to capture the beast pointed out that Xiangzhi should go up the mountain to meet it. I have enough mouth cravings, and I have to add my sister to fill my stomach...

The official used a golden eagle to carry Xiangzhi up the mountain, guessing that she had also met the beast, but no one at the bottom of the mountain knew whether Xiangzhi was alive or dead at the moment. If something happened to her, she needed someone to guide her out of the shadows I'm afraid it will become Du Yuncai who has been standing on the observation deck and looking anxiously towards the top of the mountain. They are really a couple of hard-working children.

People at the foot of the mountain are panicked, and there are no people on the mountainside, but the steep mountain top, which was rarely visited by people in the past, now presents a situation of swords being drawn and swords drawn, and three legs in a row.

A ferocious beast held a girl and stood on the edge of the cliff on the top of the mountain.The girl was short in stature, her face covered with dirt, as if she hadn't washed it for a few days, but the beast was as big as two strong men, standing behind the petite girl was even more fierce.

The beast has a red head and a wolf body, with fierce eyes, exposed fangs, and hook-like claws clinging to the girl's thin shoulders, ready to tear the girl into pieces at any time, but the girl's face is full of bewilderment, showing no fear at all , as if he didn't realize that he was in danger.

The mountain road on the opposite side of the cliff is occupied by a group of blue-armored guards with whips and eagles, and their expressions are tense. At the front of the guards stands a strong male general wearing a dragon pattern cloak and a green-tasseled pointed helmet. The plain woman with teary eyes and high hair on the right side of him is locked on the huge fruit tree on the oblique left side of him.

"Xuan, let her go."

A tall female general jumped off a thick branch of the central fruit tree. She didn't pay attention to the male general who was dressed similarly to her, but walked towards the cliff while looking at the girl who was holding the girl hostage. A ferocious beast suggested: "I will be your shield, you can take me away."

The female general who proposed to switch positions with the girl regardless of her own safety was Ranheng who rushed to Manhua Mountain from Taiyi City in an emergency in Qu Zhaoye's head.

When leaving Taiyi City, Ranheng had imagined many scenes of meeting Xixi. She knew the name and characteristics of every beast, but she had never seen the real body of any beast.

She dispatched elite soldiers and allowed Cang Zhu to follow, all in preparation for a battle with Xiexi, but the closer she got to Manhua County, the more she felt that these preparations were unnecessary.

As soon as Xixi showed up on the top of Manhua Mountain with the girl, Ranheng received a voice transmission from Song Yuanji, so she heard Xixi recognize its identity with her own ears.

Song Yuanji and his party were some distance away from Xixi, and Ranheng couldn't hear every word of Xixi, but he could figure out its general meaning from Song Yuanzhi's reply.Xixi wanted to use the girl as a hostage to meet the girl's sister. This request, which was not like a beast, successfully aroused Ranheng's interest.

Ran Heng only knew that Xie Xi fled in Qingyang at first, but she didn't know which countryman was the first to expose its crimes. Ran Xun never mentioned it, and there was no record in the record of fierce beasts, but she seemed to have touched the answer: Now that I think about it, I didn't include this part of the book in order to protect the informant.

When she heard the girl's sister crying for Xixi to escape, Ranheng completely lost the idea of ​​fighting Xixi, and she wanted to know what happened to Xixi.

Although the girl was covered in filth, she showed no signs of being hurt by Xixi. If Xixi still had kind thoughts in her heart, she might be able to figure out why Xixi was still alive, so Ranheng chose to stand in front of Xixi and let her Xie Xi regards her as a bargaining chip for escape, even if this move is dangerous, she is unwilling to let go of this rare opportunity.

"Master... the commander of the song, absolutely not!"

However, it was not Xiexi who reacted to Ranheng first, but Song Yuanji who had been paying close attention to her actions since Ranheng landed.

As the lord's guard, but watching his lord in danger, this is a reality that Song Yuanji can't accept no matter what, even if Ranheng, who has changed his appearance at this moment, is standing here as Qu Zhaoye .

"Commander Song, I have made up my mind."

Ranheng turned his head and glanced at Song Yuanji, his eyes revealed an undeniable majesty.

"But..." Song Yuanji was about to persuade him again, but his left shoulder was suddenly held tightly by someone. He was about to urge the bamboo armor to rebound, but he stopped immediately after seeing the face of the person restricting his movement, "Cousin , why are you..."

"Hush!" Cang Zhu clapped her fingers to silence Song Yuanji, "You're too impatient. What she wants to do, whether she's doing it right or not, it's not your turn to intervene, just watch carefully."

There is no doubt about the strength of the Lord, and now there is a cousin to save the field, even if Xie Xi really dares to mess up, they are not without chance of winning...

There was a burst of chirping in the air, and the number of people behind him suddenly increased. Song Yuanji felt a little more confidence in his heart, so he clenched his fists and nodded to Cang Zhu.

Xixi naturally also saw the golden eagle and soldiers who had just landed on the opposite mountain road. It looked at Ranheng who was walking in front of him, and sneered in a dark tone: "You think I can't see that you are powerful? You are so powerful in my eyes. It is not a protective shield, but a sharp knife, and a knife against myself."

Xie Xi breathed like a porpoise, but uttered words very clearly. If Ran Heng was blindfolded, she would think that the person talking to her was a normal human being.

But Xiexi's doubts did not surprise Ranheng. She immediately urged her to take off her bamboo helmet, bamboo armor, bow and arrow bag, and sent the equipment to the unarmored self-defense station a hundred meters away without looking back. Cang Zhu hands.

"Can I still be considered a sharp blade like this?"

Ranheng, who was fully armed just now, now only has a thin white robe to cover her body. However, even though she made such a big concession, she still hasn't received a satisfactory answer.

"Are you showing me your ability to teleport objects over a long distance? In the mountains, everything is your armor, everything is your weapon, do you wear armor, take it or not? What's the difference between weapons?"

The flowers and plants in Manhua Mountain are delicate and the trees are scarce, and the top of the mountain is mostly hard rocks that cannot be manipulated by Qingyang spirits. If the vegetation in the mountain can really pose a threat to Xixi, Song Yuanji and his party found the cliffside cave where Xixi was hiding. The girl can be rescued safely, so there is no need to drag Ranheng to him.

Now Xiexi, who has taken advantage of this aspect, deliberately uses the plants in the mountains to talk about things, which is full of nitpicking meaning, but Xiexi is an unreasonable beast. If Ranheng wants to achieve his goal, he can only act according to its will .

So Ranheng raised her left hand and pressed it on her right shoulder—with a "click", Ranheng's right arm was twisted and dislocated by herself.

"Music Commander!"

Song Yuanji's panicked shout came from behind, but Ranheng didn't look back this time. The pain from her right arm to her whole body made Ranheng very awake. She smiled, then straightened her back and looked at Xie Xi.

"The hand holding the blade has been broken. Do you choose to flee with me, or fight to the death with them? If you choose the former, then let this child go as I said. If you choose the latter...then I will not I can guarantee that my colleagues still have spare time to protect the safety of that woman during the war."

"...Are you threatening me?"

Xie Xi's tone became more sinister, and his eyes became more fierce, but his sharp claws on the girl's shoulders never exerted any force.

Fortunately, I was not wrong.

Seeing the expected reaction, Ran Heng relaxed, and after secretly apologizing to the girls and sisters who she used as bets, she calmly withdrew her true energy condensed in her left palm: "Are you threatening or helping you?" Relief, you know better than me."

"You're very courageous..." Xie Xi sneered, "If you want me to let you go, then stand up."

"It seems that you have already made your choice." Ranheng was still a few meters away from the girl and the girl, and before she took a step, she suddenly raised her voice, "Commander Song, no matter what happens later, don't let me go!" Forgot to protect the people first—"

After saying that, Ran Heng went straight to the front.

"The most important thing is to protect the people?"

Seeing that Ran Heng stood still, Xie Xi took a deep look at the restless crowd opposite, then stretched out its free sharp claw and ruthlessly hooked Ran Heng's dislocated right arm.

"These words come out of your mouth, even I feel hypocritical—"

Xie Xi pushed the girl to the side, then pulled Ran Heng violently, biting her left shoulder with one bite.

"—Commander Qu!!"

Accompanied by Song Yuanji's hysterical shouts, Xie Xi dragged Ran Heng down the cliff.
