Chapter 31(1/2)
A fatal mission
However, just when the "Wolf Boy" was about to get closer to the two of them and take a closer look, he unexpectedly felt a sudden chill behind him.
When he turned his head to look, he only heard that pleasant and soft voice, saying close to his ear:
"Shh~~~ It's me! Ziyu! Don't make any sound."
Before he finished speaking, Liang Ziyu's mouth and nose were gently covered by Jiu Xiaohan's palm.
When Liang Ziyu calmed down instantly, Jiu Xiaohan directly grabbed his arm and spun him skillfully in half a circle. Without using much force, he pushed the tall and thin man in front of him, who was more than half his head taller, without using much force.
The young man pulled behind a tree that was big enough to shield the two of them.
"I'm sorry, Ziyu! I'll untie it for you later!"
Before Jiu Xiaohan could finish his words, the young man was stunned for a moment. Then, he found that his whole body was unable to move, and even his ability to speak was restricted at the same time.
However, his position and the direction of his gaze were "just right", and he happened to be in the blind spot of the two injured "city guards".
"This silly girl, in addition to brewing medicine, night vision, chanting mantras, Qinggong, sword dancing... unexpectedly, she also knows acupuncture?"
After saying this, he dropped his hand, and the three senior brothers realized that they were gone.
Wu Yu's forehead was pressed against the forehead of "Third Brother", and he had already burst into tears.
His back was stiffly upright, and he looked down slightly with tearful eyes. He was very close in front of him, and facing him was Jiu Xiaohan's delicate little face like water.
Between the shadows of the trees in the dark mountain forest, she and he met each other's eyes, and the moment when their eyes interacted was better than any unnecessary words.
However, at this time, Liang Ziyu couldn't move. He wished he could find a crack in the ground and crawl in. He was in a state of embarrassment that he had never felt before, and was completely looked at by this silly girl.
After the death of the second senior brother Wu Ci, the third senior brother Wu Si's skill was second only to the first senior brother Wu Zheng's Qingxin Kuan disciple.
However, she never noticed that at this moment, Liang Ziyu, who was poking motionlessly behind her, and who had just heard the title "Yiqijunzi", looked extremely ugly, cruel and cruel!
Even though there was some distance between them, Jiu Xiaohan could see more and more clearly, just like she was accompanying the third and fifth senior brothers.
However, at this moment, he was so seriously injured?!
Jiu Xiaohan wants to know:
What kind of "fatal" mission was he performing with his fifth senior brother before?
Thinking of this, he saw two senior brothers not far away who he could not recognize for the time being. Moreover, the physical condition of the third senior brother was getting weaker and weaker:
"Hurry, fifth brother! Send a signal to senior brother! Hurry..."
With a loud sound that penetrated the sky, a plume of red smoke shot straight into the sky, exploding into the colorless night with a crack that could cut through the Milky Way sky.
Of course, maybe, the fate of this "wild mountain black wolf cub" is really too good and too lucky...
"Third brother! This can't be done, it can't be done!"
Although Liang Ziyu could not move any part of his body, his originally stern and cold face became uncontrollably moved as he watched the two "guard" brothers farewell.
She saw that Jiu Xiaohan had completely closed her pair of blue night vision eyes. She could not see the tears streaming down his face, but just spread out two soft, slender and cold little hands.
Until now, Jiu Xiaohan did not dare to ask in detail about how those snow wolves were wiped out when she was blinded and passed out on the snow.
Moreover, he is still a guy who is about to die soon...
It seemed that he had used all his strength to transfer these two important things that he once regarded as life into the other person's trembling palms:
"Fifth brother... hurry up... don't delay any longer!"
If the senior brother discovers that Jiu Xiaohan secretly violates the rules and breaks the boundaries to go to the temple, he will take her back to the Qingxin Temple even if he dies!!!
Jiu Xiaohan had only been out of the mountain for a few hours, so naturally he didn’t want to be easily “caught” back by the brothers who were on a mission outside!!!
"Third brother!"
It seems that the life and death of this "Yiqi County Prince" is also a crucial clue at the moment.
It sounds like a very powerful character!
At that moment, Liang Ziyu couldn't bear to distinguish whether this sudden feeling of tension came from Huangfu Yi, the "Little Seventh Commandery Prince", or from Liwu Xianjun, the "God of War of the Celestial Clan"?
Although Liang Ziyu couldn't see clearly, he could faintly hear that one of the people was dying and whispering:
Hearing what seemed to be a few strange sounds behind the tree, Wu Yu raised his head and looked in the direction of the approximate source of those suspicious sounds.
After all, the two "city guards" opposite were his fellow seniors, even though they couldn't recognize each other.
In the dark night, his bright eyes were full of the unique professional vigilance of a "bounty hunter".
Third senior brother Wu Si stretched out a big blood-stained hand and rubbed it for a moment from his blood-stained armor before taking out a token with the word "secret" and a signal firearm tube.
However, the other hand has already raised the exclusive signal tube that only their "Bounty Hunting Guards" can use, and releases a bright light into the dark sky above.
However, in this emergency situation, Jiu Xiaohan could not allow any more explanation to Liang Ziyu; she could not tell him the whole truth for the time being.
Due to Master Wu Weizi's serious illness, many of the bounty hunting missions that should have been handled by the senior brother were gradually assigned to other senior brothers.
Originally, Jiu Xiaohan recognized the third senior brother Wu Si and the fifth senior brother Wu Yu at the first sight before she walked behind Liang Ziyu and tapped all the acupuncture points on his body. However, she still hesitated for a moment.
It is not only related to the mission and lives of the senior brothers, but perhaps even more related to the master's condition and the future of Qingxin Guan.
After hearing what the third senior brother Wu Si said, he didn't care about "men don't shed tears easily". The fifth senior brother's tears burst out. His unstoppable tears mixed with the blood and sweat stains on his face,
Stains.
I'm afraid, the serious injury suffered by the third senior brother must have a lot to do with this so-called "prince", directly or indirectly, right?!
Jiu Xiaohan's whole body was agitated, and he wiped the two lines of hot tears that overflowed from the corners of his eyes and quietly flowed down his cold cheeks. Liang Ziyu did not notice that he was crying.
She really couldn't imagine how Liang Ziyu did it at that time - that was definitely not something that a normal, ordinary teenager could accomplish on his own!
This time, in order to prevent Liang Ziyu from having unpredictable impulsive behavior again, Jiu Xiaohan decided to face it by himself first.
Can’t go wrong!
She changed her sadness and quickly pricked up her ears, wanting to listen carefully to more details of the conversation between the two senior brothers before they said goodbye.
His tears were like rain, and all the remaining tear stains on his face had gradually become bone-chilling from the freezing cold night without stars and moon.
"Qingxin Guan, I'm afraid... there is no hope of returning..."
Just now, all his attention was focused on trying to take the opportunity to protect Jiu Xiaohan.
Before leaving the mountain, Jiu Xiaohan once heard his Seventeenth Junior Brother mention it accidentally:
The young man had a helpless and "frozen" look on his face. He had to stand stiffly in place. For a moment, his eyes were full of doubts and confusion, and subconsciously, he was worried about Jiu Xiaohan's safety.
She never imagined that Liang Ziyu would feel the same way about such a life-and-death situation between her senior brothers.
Soon, at this time, Jiu Xiaohan, who was hiding behind the big tree, could clearly see that the third senior brother Wusi staggered, vomited blood, could no longer walk, and suddenly collapsed to the ground, half lying on the fifth floor, which was less seriously injured.
In the arms of senior brother.
Jiu Xiaohan, you can't cry, you still have a "fatal" matter that has not yet been completed!
At this time, no tears can save the life of the third senior brother; however, the clues that the two senior brothers have grasped may be the key to saving the master's life!
Jiu Xiaohan became excited when he thought that as long as there was any hope of saving his sick master, he became very excited.
Um?
Yi Qijunzi?
Holding "Third Brother" in his arms, who was bleeding profusely from the corners of his mouth, Wu Yu, the fifth senior brother, choked with tears. His words were full of sadness and anger, but he could not hide the heartbreaking pain of separation:
Jiu Xiaohan and Liang Ziyu, one high and one low, were close to each other, one behind the other. They peered out of the tree and carefully observed the situation of the two injured men over there.
The third senior brother, who was seriously injured, fell in front of the fifth senior brother. He was obviously exhausted. He must have reached his end.
"I... am about to die! Fifth brother, please... leave me alone for now!"
Judging from her first reaction at this critical moment, perhaps she really regarded him as one of her own...
Just relying on the relative position he felt, he tried to rub Liang Ziyu's cheeks with both hands and help him gently wipe away the tears.
"In the days to come, you should live well for Third Brother! Remember, only if 'Yiqijunzi' is safe and sound, he, master... and we can live with a clear mind and watch up and down..."
Big brother?
Senior brother, are you also around here?
"When did this happen?! You...you still only think about him?!
If not, she saw from a distance that Liangzi Tamamoto was standing there, leaning slightly forward, maybe she would not have treated him in such a sudden way, without having time to say anything.
The code token and the signal tube were stained with the sticky blood on the third brother's hand, and Wu Yu squeezed his hand tighter.
With a puff, there was another mouthful of blood in his heart, and he couldn't help but spit it out.
Jiu Xiaohan was afraid that Liang Ziyu would probably kill them both indiscriminately, just like killing dozens of snow wolves.
The young man's tears couldn't help but flow out, drop by drop, like jade beads on a curtain of water, rolling down the back of Jiu Xiaohan's hand, which had been standing in front of him and was half a head shorter than him.
Because it was bloody, bright red, completely different from ordinary people's tears.
Jiu Xiaohan slowly turned around, and when he looked up, a big teardrop on Liang Ziyu's cheek just slipped past the corner of his mouth, and happened to fall on Jiu Xiaohan's little face that was raised towards him.
"Fifth brother! For me, say goodbye to master and brothers... and say goodbye to him!"
