sinking into sand

Guan Lan left the matter behind after Xun Er.

Right now doesn't mean that at this time, Xun Er must be taken out first.

He tilted his head slightly, looking at the torch lights outside through the gaps in the bushes.

There are many people.

Are these people here to look for Xun Er?

Guan Lan let go of Xun'er's hand slightly, and asked, "How do you know who they are? How do you know they are here to look for you?"

Xun Er finally breathed calmly, was able to speak a little more normally, and replied in a low voice: "The style of the refugee army is like that, they are simply a group of hooligans! Most of the conflicts with residents on weekdays are to smash and loot. I have seen it a few times before... ...They were stationed near that town, they...they belonged to Sister Mu."

Guan Lan frowned.

Mu Yao?Mu Yao's people.

At this moment, he felt that he really missed too many things when he fell asleep, Mu Yao?Why does Mu Yao have soldiers in his hand?She raised it by herself, where did the money come from?

He asked Xun Er: "Mu Yao's people are looking for you, why is there such a big fight."

Xun Er didn't quite understand either, and explained in a daze: "Maybe I didn't tell them when I ran?"

"If you are so important, how could you run out so easily." Guan Lan retorted: "Could it have something to do with your brother's affairs?"

Speaking of Yu Sha Xun'er, he became a little nervous: "I don't know..."

Seeing that the girl didn't know what to ask, Guan Lan also gave up asking, and said: "Let's leave first, the visitors are not good, I can't let you go with them."

Xun Er himself didn't want to go back with the refugee army, so he nodded and asked Guan Lan in a low voice, "Then what should we do now?"

Guan Lan remained silent, watching the firelight outside through the gaps in the bushes.The number of people is almost a small team, just some miscellaneous fish, in fact, it is not too difficult to escape.

But he has something to ask.

He pondered for a moment, then asked: "In that refugee army, who else do they listen to besides My Lady?"

At this moment, outside the dense forest, the leader who had troubled Xun Er in the inn before was talking to another person.

"Mr. Li, I'm sure, that girl left with a very good-looking person."

The man surnamed Li hummed, his eyes were only looking at the depths of the dense forest, his face was illuminated by the torch, and it was a bit obscure.

If Xun Er could see this person, he would definitely be able to recognize him. This is the so-called benefactor of Prince Li's mansion who was often seen at Mu Yao's place before.

Now that the Prince Li's Mansion has been destroyed, the people in the Prince Li's Mansion are scattered all over the place, and it is not known why this person appeared here.

"That man's lightness kung fu is very good, but with Xun Er, I think there are many constraints." After looking at it for a while, the man surnamed Li said: "Let them all bring weapons. If everything works, I will reward you tomorrow."

The leader agreed, but for some reason he showed some hesitation, and asked, "Mr. Li, I kept this from Mrs. Mu...if she asks about it in the future."

"It's okay to ask." Then Mr. Li said: "She cares too much about women's friendship, so she has to hide such a good bait. No matter what, after the incident, as long as you catch the senior son of the Guan family and pass by the Jinzhan Pavilion, All is well."

The leader felt a little relieved after hearing what he said, but now he felt suspicious again, and said, "Then... I can be sure that he is the heir of the Guan family."

Mr. Li turned the fan in his hand slightly, and said, "If what Mu Yao said is true, this person has a deep affection for the Yu Shaomiao brothers and sisters, so he can come back if he can't."

The leader still has a question: "But now, hasn't the matter been brought out on the surface...Then Yu Shaomiao and Li Da will be sent to Dingzhou..."

As the leader spoke, his voice became softer. Mr. Li gave him a sideways look and stopped talking.

The two were silent, but people in the dense forest sent news, saying that they seemed to have found someone.

Mr. Li frowned slightly. He heard that the Guan family's elder son was very skilled in martial arts, so why didn't he use martial arts after encountering this situation.

When he was wondering, the person who came to report whispered in his ear, saying that he ran with Xun Er because he thought it was a chaser, but when Xun Er said he recognized the refugee army, he thought it was his own, so he showed up .

Mr. Li was slightly moved, believed it, and asked, "If that's the case, why haven't you come out yet."

The person who came to report nodded slightly: "I said I didn't dare to fully confirm my identity, so I want you to go over."

The man was a little hesitant when he heard it, and before he made a decision, there was a new sound of horseshoes in his ears.When she looked back, Mu Yao was wearing a white cloak and came with a team of people.

Then Mr. Li's eyes flickered, and he was still thinking of saying something.Mu Yao had already arrived, she got off her horse and came in a hurry.

"Ah Yao, I..." Mr. Li had just said a few words, but when Mu Yao walked up to him, he raised his hand and slashed his throat mercilessly.

Blood spattered her face and those around her.

That Mr. Li clutched the wound on his neck and fell down in disbelief, his eyes were wide open, as if he didn't believe what happened at all.

Mu Yao took one last look at him, and said in a calm voice, "Li Peng dispatched troops privately, committed a rebellion, and executed the law on the spot."

After she finished speaking, she glanced at the people around who were brought out by Li Peng: "I understand."

Those people didn't expect that Mu Yao would kill Li Peng, and they killed Li Peng so happily that their expressions immediately became ugly.

Naturally, Mu Yao also noticed it, pointed her sword at the throat of one of them, and said, "Don't understand?"

The meaning of that action was obvious, those people had complicated expressions, and they all knelt down in the end.

Mu Yao finally glanced at them again, looked away, and looked at the dense forest full of torches in the distance, without saying a word, leaving half of the people to restrain the people on the scene, and took the rest, directly into the forest. up the woods.

Deep in the woods, Xun Er sat nervously on a rock, with about two or three people watching her.Guan Lan kept his figure hidden and hid on a tree, waiting for the leader Xun Er mentioned to come in.

Several people waited and waited in the distance, but instead of the person surnamed Li, Mu Yao arrived.

With blood still on his body, Mu Yao walked directly to the place where Xun Er appeared following the guidance of the torch.

When I saw her on Xun Er, I was surprised and pleasantly surprised.She stood up, and before she could say a word to Mu Yao, she was slapped directly by Mu Yao.

Mu Yao used to be a teacher in Peony Academy, and she was also very strict, but she didn't say that she beat people frequently.Xun Er was stunned by the beating, his face was turned sideways, and the corners of his mouth were still bloodshot.

Before she could turn her head and ask Mu Yao why she wanted to beat her, the people who followed Mu Yao had already wiped the necks of the people who had been looking at her before.

Blood splattered on the tree, the torch fell to the ground, and the light changed, making the dense forest suddenly appear to be eerie.

Xun Er looked at the severed necks of those people, feeling terrified.Although she grew up in dark alleys and Pingchunfang, she is used to seeing people die.But they are all people who are already struggling in front of the palace of Hades.There is no such thing. A moment ago, there were still some strong men who were alive, and they lost their lives in the blink of an eye.

Seeing the panic in Xun Er's eyes, Mu Yao said a lesson: "You see? Remember, these people, as well as Li Peng outside, all died for you."

This sentence is undoubtedly too heavy, and Xun Er's panic was immediately filled with some kind of rejection, but Mu Yao didn't even give her the air to argue, and directly opened her mouth like a cannonball: "You know what you are now Status? How many people want to use you to manipulate Yu Sha, you are not only restless, but also ran out to give others an opportunity. Today, here are just a few people who have nothing to do with you, what if it is Yu Sha who dies in the future? How do you deal with yourself?"

Xun Er finally understood why Mu Yao was angry with her, and tears welled up in his eyes: "...but...brother he...he..."

"You can't protect yourself, so you can only add trouble to him." Mu Yao's words became more and more harsh: "Or do you want him to die, so that it will appear that you have a heart for him?"

Xun Er immediately pursed his lips when he heard the words, and refused to say a word.

Mu Yao looked at her indifferently for a while, feeling that she had educated her well, and then said: "You just need to know the seriousness, and go back now."

Xun Er didn't speak, his mouth was tightly pursed, and tears were hanging in his eyes, as if they were about to fall.

Guan Lan watched all this from the tree, clenched the sword tightly in his hand, and was about to jump down from the tree to hijack Mu Yao when she turned her back.

At this moment, Xun Er suddenly moved.She raised her hand, wiped away the tears that did not fall from her eyes with her sleeve, and rubbed her eye sockets red, stepped forward and grabbed Mu Yao's clothes, and asked in a louder voice on purpose: "Then...then you always want Tell me... when and where are they going to send my brother to Dingzhou?"

Mu Yao was held back by her, stunned for a moment, then seemed to understand something in the next moment, raised her head, and slowly glanced at the canopy of the surrounding forest.

Xun Er didn't know if it was exposed, but he lowered his head and pinched his knuckles until his knuckles were turning white.

Mu Yao slowly looked away, looked at Xun Er who was pulling her clothes, and sighed.

"Three days later, there will be three groups of people going north to Dingzhou." She said lightly, "Two of them are prison vehicles, and they will take the Chayan business road."

"There is another team, the two elders of the Jinzhan Pavilion who were delayed because of these things. They went to the north to take up their posts, and they took the water route, and they went to the Li River."

She reached out and touched Xun Er's hair, feeling her soft hair and her slightly trembling body, and said slowly: "Your brother is on the boat."

After Xun Er asked the answer, his body finally relaxed, and he said, "...I...I know."

After she said this, Mu Yao wanted to ask something else, when she heard Xun Er suddenly raise her voice again, with a choked sob in her voice, almost like shouting, "I... I will be obedient in the future No more running! No getting caught! No trouble!"

"I...I..." Xun Er finished shouting this sentence, and finally, as if mustering up his courage again, he said sternly: "I... I'm leaving with Sister Mu!"

Her words almost sold off Guan Lan.

Mu Yao sighed again, and rubbed her hair a little harder, a little funny, a little distressed, more, a little incredible.

People in the world value profit over friendship, but there are still so many fools.

After she finished feeling, she raised her head to look at the surrounding woods.

All that was left was the sound of the leaves rustling in the wind.
