Chapter Five

After a stick of incense, a head suddenly appeared on the edge of the cliff, getting higher and higher. Then a young man climbed up from the bottom of the cliff. This young man was Ye Ying, who the two jailers thought would never survive.

When the two jailers showed their murderous intentions, Ye Ying quickly thought in his mind, how to face the current situation?

I have been practicing martial arts with three masters for two years. Although I have never really fought with anyone, I feel that it is still very possible for me to suddenly take action, defeat the two jailers, and escape successfully.

But in this case, it is very likely that the fact that he knows martial arts will be exposed, which is something that several masters have repeatedly warned to keep secret. In this case, the only way to keep this secret is to kill two jailers to silence them.

But after all, Ye Ying was just a boy under the age of twelve. If he was asked to kill people, he really couldn't do it. In his eagerness, he quickly came up with an idea.

Pretending to be frightened, retreating step by step, and finally "accidentally" falling off the cliff, these were all planned by Ye Ying in advance.

When the second master taught him the "Gecko Skill", he had climbed up and down such a cliff countless times. Such cliffs that ordinary people find very difficult to climb were no longer a problem for Ye Ying.

The moment he fell off the cliff, Ye Ying quickly twisted his body, grabbed a protruding stone with both hands, and quickly pressed his body tightly against the cliff.

What happened next was just as Ye Ying imagined. Two jailors soon appeared above Ye Ying's head. They looked down the cliff in a panic, but they didn't notice the thin figure clinging to the cliff at all.

But this is normal. The two jailers never dreamed that this thin boy from a mountain village would actually have unique skills.

After climbing to the top of the cliff, Ye Ying looked around vigilantly, and after confirming that the two officers had gone far, he headed down the mountain as quickly as possible, and his frail figure disappeared into the mountain road soon after.

"What, the person was not killed and fell into the cliff. Then you went to the bottom of the cliff to check to make sure he was dead?" In the county town, someone started shooting the case.

What Ye Ying didn't expect was that after the two officers returned to the county seat, they were scolded severely by their immediate boss, the bearded officer, and even kicked twice each.

The two police officers did not expect that such a small thing would actually make their superiors furious.

What made them even more unexpected was that the bearded officer immediately ordered all the officers currently in the county government to bring ropes and go to the bottom of the cliff as quickly as possible to see with their own eyes whether Ye Ying had really fallen to his death.

Ye Ying had no idea about these things that happened in the county government. At this time, he was walking down the mountain road, preparing to go to Songzhou City, which was more than a hundred miles away.

Songzhou City is the largest city in Songzhou Prefecture. There are tens of thousands of troops stationed there. The purpose of Ye Ying's trip is to go to the military camp in the west of Songzhou City to find Ningyuan General Chen Zhi there. The mysterious man in brocade robes in prison asked him to deliver a message.

.

When Master Ninth taught Ye Ying to read and write, he once told Ye Ying that a man must keep his promise and do what he promised to others. Therefore, Ye Ying never went to Songzhou City, but still went on the road alone.

Under the guidance of several masters, Ye Ying has undergone radical changes in the past two years, but after all, he is just a child under the age of fourteen, full of curiosity about everything in the world.

He was looking forward to what the man in Jinpao told him this time. He had heard in the small town that Mr. Shu told the story of the Ying Lie Army of our dynasty fighting the Northern Barbarian Army, and he admired the general who led the troops in the war.

Now that he had the opportunity to see a general who commanded an army with his own eyes, Ye Ying was very excited. He secretly speculated in his heart that this general must be tall and mighty, with eyes as sharp as lightning. Unknowingly, he thought of the great general.

His shadow actually overlapped with that of his second master.

Ye Ying grew up in a mountain village. He was very familiar with mountain roads and had good endurance. After three or four hours, he had walked almost half of the distance.

Seeing that it was getting dark, he could continue on his way, but in order to ensure that he had the energy to continue moving forward tomorrow, he still chose to rest under a tree by the roadside.

Spending the night alone in the suburbs is a very scary thing for people of his age, but this situation often happens to Ye Ying, and he has long been used to it.

In order to keep out the cold and avoid being attacked by wild beasts, he picked up some dry firewood and lit a fire with the sickle he carried with him. Fortunately, the guards did not take away his belongings when he was put into the cell, otherwise he would have been cold all night.

He experienced a lot on this day, and after another day of traveling, Ye Ying quickly fell asleep due to physical fatigue.

While he was sleeping, Ye Ying was suddenly woken up by the "rain". He felt very puzzled. Since he started practicing martial arts, his perception has become much stronger. Why didn't he predict it would rain in advance?

Ye Ying opened his eyes and looked up at the sky, only to see that the sky was still full of bright moon and dotted with stars.

It didn't rain, so what was the water on his face? Ye Ying quickly looked around, and was suddenly startled because there was someone in front of him.

The person who appeared in front of Ye Ying turned out to be an acquaintance of his. It was the bearded official who led him into the county jail the day before yesterday.

While being taken to the county seat, Ye Ying learned from the conversations among the guards that the bearded man's surname was Zhu, and he was the head catcher of the small county where they were located.

Ye Ying was thinking that day, this man with long white beard is fat and white, and his face is a bit round. Judging from his appearance, the surname "Pig" is quite appropriate.

But now, this "pig's" head-catching expression is a bit scary, with a playful look in his eyes, just like a hunter looking at the prey that has fallen into his trap.

Seeing the "pig" catcher standing in front of him, Ye Ying was relieved after a brief moment of surprise. This man was able to become the county government's catcher. He obviously had some skills, so he was able to appear without anyone noticing.

It can also be explained in front of oneself.

The "pig" head catcher was also secretly glad that he sent people to search down the cliff, but he was still worried. So he simply followed the road to Songzhou Mansion and chased Ye Ying all the way down. Unexpectedly, he actually caught up with Ye Ying.

Ye Ying never imagined that the county government officials would not only kill him, but also go to such great lengths to hunt him down after learning that he might escape.

If he had known this, Ye Ying would never have lit the fire, and even if he was cold and freezing, he would not have been killed.

"You're not a bad boy, you actually escaped here, but the result is still the same, you just died a few hours later." The "pig" head catcher took out the short knife from his waist and said coldly.

Ye Ying sighed softly. It seemed that he had no choice but to take action. From the looks of it, this "pig" should be better at catching heads than him, and a fierce battle would follow.

The "pig" head catcher didn't think too much. Although the other party was a half-grown child, if he let him go this time, he and the county magistrate might be killed, and even his family would not be safe, so he was absolutely

There will be no mercy.

The "pig" head catcher didn't hesitate much and quickly approached Ye Ying. He swung the long knife in his hand and struck directly at Ye Ying's neck.

In the "pig"'s idea of ​​​​capturing his head, this half-grown child must not be able to stop his own sword. He seemed to have seen the scene of Ye Ying's head being dislocated.

However, the scene that appeared at the next moment was far beyond the expectations of the "Pig" head catcher. His knife actually cut the whole thing in the air. Ye Ying moved quickly and avoided the "Pig" head catcher's knife that he thought was a sure shot.

.

"You actually know martial arts, no wonder you dare to stand up for these unruly people." Looking at Ye Ying standing next to him, "Zhu" Head Cap said with some surprise.

Ye Ying did not answer "Pig"'s words about catching his head, because through that moment, Ye Ying already knew that the opponent's skill was superior to his own. Although he was a first-class warrior like himself, his internal strength was much higher than his own.

"It seems that this battle must be handled carefully, otherwise, lives will really be lost here today." Ye Ying thought in his mind.

After practicing martial arts for two years, in addition to sparring with several masters, sometimes fighting against wild beasts in the mountains, I have yet to experience real combat with people. I didn't expect that my first battle would be so dangerous.

"Although you know some Kung Fu like a three-legged cat, you still can't escape death when you meet me today." The "Pig" head catcher quickly calmed down after a brief accident.

The fight started again. The "pig" stopped being careless in catching the head and began to take the enemy in front of him seriously. The short knife in his hand quickly changed direction and went towards Ye Ying's chest and abdomen. If this knife was hit, Ye Ying would definitely be hit.

It will be disembowelled.

Faced with this danger, Ye Ying ducked again and narrowly avoided the knife. He also picked up a tree stick by the roadside and prepared to use it as his weapon.

"Who taught you Kung Fu? You were able to evade the first move of my Wild Wave Sword Technique, but this can't save your life. Each of my seven swords is more powerful than the last. I haven't encountered anyone who has survived in these years.

Five knives."

"Pig," the head catcher said with a sneer, but without stopping, he slashed at Ye Ying's waist with another knife. Ye Ying quickly blocked it with the wooden stick in his hand, trying to block the opponent's attack. But Mu

However, the stick was cut off by the "pig" with a single blow. The dagger slowed down a bit and still went away from Ye Ying's waist.

In his haste, Ye Ying immediately twisted his body and narrowly avoided the knife. However, his waist was still struck by the blade, his clothes were torn, and there was a shallow blood mark on his waist.

Although Ye Ying was not seriously injured by this blow, it still shocked him. He finally understood the fact that this "pig" was good at catching its head, but he would not be able to survive three more blows.

The wooden stick in his hand was no longer usable. In his haste, he could only break off an inch-long sharp branch from the wooden stick and use it as a weapon. He held it in his right hand and looked nervously at the enemy opposite, waiting for his next attack.

The "pig" didn't think too much about catching the head. The two attacks failed to capture the child, which made him a little confused. He flipped his wrist and attacked Ye Ying again with the short knife in his hand.

In anger, "Pig" Captou used ten of his power in this attack. Although the sword was not fast, it was whistling like wind and blocked almost all of Ye Ying's escape routes.

If Ye Ying had a steel knife in his hand at this time, he might be able to block the opponent's attack with all his strength, but currently he only had a branch in his hand and could not block the knife.

The "pig" head catcher also thought the same way. This knife will definitely not be in vain. Although this young man is a bit difficult to deal with, he will still be killed by him in the end.

But the next moment, the "pig" head catcher was disappointed again, because his short knife struck the air again. When he stood still, he found that Ye Ying had already appeared behind him.

This scene was completely unexpected by the "pig" head catcher. He quickly turned around and raised the short knife in his hand again, preparing for a sharper attack.
