MTL - Let Me Pursue You-Chapter 68 068

The mountain pass is about an incense stick's walk from the forest where the Yuan family's carriage is located, and Lu Shiqing lingered here for a while at first, so Yuan Cixian and Picking Zhi had already returned to their foothold long before he met Shi Cui.

Seeing that the forest was empty and there was no carriage, the two of them exchanged glances after they were convinced that the meeting place was correct and Shicui would never leave his post without reason.

Yuan Cixian silently glanced in the direction of Lin Zikou, signaling to withdraw first. Picking up a little nod, he took off the short-handled barrier knife at his waist, held it in his hand, and guarded her out of the forest vigilantly.

The two walked out quickly all the way, and when they arrived at the official road where cars came and went outside the forest, Yuan Cixian frowned, stopped and looked back in the direction of the dense forest.

Her two maidservants have always acted reliably, and Shi Cui disappeared for no reason. She subconsciously felt that there was an ambush, so she hurriedly evacuated from the dangerous area, but now it seems that she was wrong?

It's like killing people while the moon is dark and the wind is high. Of course, you should choose the dense forest to do bad things. You can't chase and fight on the official road in broad daylight, right? What's more, today is the Flower Festival, there is an endless stream of horses and chariots going to and from the official roads outside the city, in just this moment, she has already seen two groups of people passing by. This place can already be said to be very safe.

Picking branches also thought the same way, and said strangely: "Little lady, are we worrying too much? If someone really wants to harm you, he can do it just now in the forest. Now there are cars and horses going around, and there is a post station not far away. still have a chance?"

She blinked her eyes, and she was afraid that she might be overwhelmed, so she ordered: "Well, I'll go to the front station to settle down first, and then you can go back to the forest and have a look, don't let Shicui go away for a while."

Picking up the branches responded well, and was about to lift his feet, but he heard a sound of wheels coming from far and near in the forest. It was Shicui who drove over.

Yuan Cixian heaved a sigh of relief, and when the car came to him, he was about to criticize her for being so unreliable today, but seeing her nervous and scorched face, there seemed to be something wrong, so she couldn't help smiling.

Picking up the reins, Shi Cui asked, "Miss, did you see Mr. Xu just now?"

Yuan Cixian frowned: "I never saw him again at the mountain pass, what's wrong? Where did you go?"

Shi Cui confirmed again: "Then did you ask someone to give the maid a note just now?"

She was even more puzzled, shaking her head in a daze: "What's going on?"

Shi Cui hurriedly explained: "The maid got a note when she was waiting in the forest, and it showed that you had good handwriting on it, saying that you were tired from walking, so she asked the maid to pick you up at the mountain pass. But when the maid drove there, she only saw Mr. Xu, after explaining the situation to him, he said that there was no such thing, and then turned his horse's head nervously, it seems that he came to look for you."

A thought flashed across Yuan Cixian's mind like lightning, and his heart jumped up. Shi Cui was driving a car, so naturally he couldn't catch up with the horse, so according to Xu Shan's speed, he should have reached this place long ago, so there is no reason to miss her.

She said: "Could it be that someone is talking all over the place, misleading him with the illusion that I'm in danger, and then setting a trap for him along the way?"

She didn't have time to think about it when she finished speaking, when she heard a particularly sudden and impatient sound of horseshoes coming from a distance on the official road.

The three masters and servants turned their heads together, and saw Zheng Zhuo galloping towards the city, as if he had come back on the way to the city. Seeing Yuan Cixian and others standing still, but not seeing Lu Shiqing, he reined in the reins and asked, "How long has the county magistrate been separated from Mr. Xu?"

Yuan Cixian hurriedly replied: "About three quarters of an hour, what news did His Highness get?"

He didn't have time to explain, and left without saying, "The county lord, let's go back to the city first."

But Yuan Cixian still didn't understand something at this time. He was convinced that Xu Shan had fallen into a trap, so how could he go back to the city first.

She remained silent for a while, then pulled out the barrier knife in the hand of the picker, cut the rope that bound the horse, then raised the knife, stepped on the horse, and chased in the direction where Zheng Zhuo left.

"Little lady!"

The last time Yuan Cixian galloped in such a hurry was the day after the Mid-Autumn Festival last year, when he thought Lu Shiqing was in danger in Shangzhou.

On the bumpy forest road, she repeated the movements of raising and lowering the whip, and her ears buzzed.

In fact, there is a subtle loophole in this strategy of attacking east and west, which is too coincidental.

It seems simple to send and pick up jade, but the calculation of the time must be very precise. One step earlier, it is very likely that their master and servant will meet at the mountain pass, and one step later, it is very likely that they will meet again in the forest. However, since the other party has worked so hard to accomplish something, how could he casually fall on Xu Shan's link, so that he just happened to meet Shi Cui, and just got the chance to rescue him?

Unless, this link is also carefully designed by the other party.

In Shiting, Xu Shan himself said that too many coincidences are not coincidences. But why did he fall for it so easily? What about his so-called reverse reasoning? Such a smart, clear-headed person who knows how to judge the situation, why did he commit a stupidity?

Yuan Cixian subconsciously evaded the answers to these questions, and swung his whip vigorously in a state of confusion. But Zheng Zhuo was one step faster than her, and her riding skills were superior to hers, so she could only bite all the way, and it was difficult to catch up.

She followed him all the way from the forest to the mountain, because the horse was galloping too fast, and the silk ribbon in her hair was flying around randomly, blocking her view a few times, so she simply bit the hairband in her mouth and stared closely at the front, when she was about to go up the mountain , suddenly saw two men in black riding horses rushing out of the crossing, as if they wanted to stop Zheng Zhuo.

Zheng Zhuo did not lose his momentum at all, he was jolting on the horse, his hand was out of the sheath, he raised his arm in the blink of an eye, cut the throats of two people with a sword, and then continued to charge forward.

Yuan Cixian followed closely behind, gritted his teeth and didn't even look at the corpse on the ground. After walking for a while, he saw another group of men in black, seven in general, all of them were young men with strong physiques, but they were nothing to look at. In particular, it is the general Han martial arts.

Zheng Zhuo swung his knife to kill again, while looking back at her.

She got the hint from this wink and knew that he meant to tell her to go first, so she stopped and jumped straight up on the horse. In order to seek speed, she stepped **** a dead body without avoiding it.

It's just that Zheng Zhuo couldn't deal with the seven people at once. After she drove all the way, she soon heard someone chasing after her.

If she confronted this kind of warrior head-on, she would hardly have a chance of winning as a woman. Yuan Cixian recalled the posture of the men in black just now, and felt that they seemed to be passively blocking her and Zheng Zhuo all the time, so she quietly put away the whip and hung it on the horse's head, slowing down the speed of riding the horse. Speed, pretending to be tired, holding the barrier knife and waiting for him to catch up.

The man in black really didn't intend to make a killer move, when he was about to catch up, he jumped up from his horse, then swooped forward, and flew towards Yuan Cixian's horse, as if he was going to pinch her from behind.

What she was waiting for was this moment, when she heard the ups and downs behind her, before he sat firmly on her horse, without looking back, she palmed the knife with her back hand, and stabbed backward from under her side. Be quick, accurate and ruthless, with a "chi" sound, the knife pierces the chest.

The man never expected this murderous hand, his eyes widened and he froze on the horse, his eyes gradually became hollow.

Yuan Cixian pulled the rein with one hand to keep her body steady when she got off the horse, while turning her head and pulling out the knife vigorously. The blood spattered three feet, and the hot and fishy juice spilled on her face. She resisted a surge of vomiting and pushed the man off the horse. The hand that pulled out the whip trembled slightly.

She has been on the battlefield, but this is the first person she has killed with her own hands.

But Yuan Cixian soon had no time to think about it, because she was sure of one thing: the scattered actions of the men in black indicated that Xu Shan had not been discovered yet. It is very likely that he realized that something was wrong on the way to find her, and instead hid in the mountains, using tricks to confuse them.

She had to find him before these people.

She raised her whip vigorously, and when she reached the fork in the road ahead, she quickly judged the terrain, picked a direction and walked all the way up. When she was close to the top of the cliff, she heard a slight sound of sword clashing in the distance.

Because the road to the cliff was too narrow to ride her horse, she turned over and sprinted straight up, and saw four men in black fighting with Xu Shan on the top of the cliff, and two dead bodies lay beside her. It's weird, like the two of them stabbed each other's chests in a confrontation.

She couldn't help laughing in desperation.

A smart man has a smart man's way of fighting. Although Xu Shan is not a warrior, he is quite capable, not to mention being injured, he didn't even lose his mask.

Lu Shiqing dodged, dodging the sword stabbing towards his mask obliquely, and kicked him off the cliff with one foot, and couldn't help but suffocate Yuan Cixian when he looked up and saw the **** face.

He guessed that she would figure out the cause and effect, but said that she would choose to send rescuers instead of coming in person.

What is she doing now, working hard for Xu Shan? Do you want to call him Lu Shiqing "a widow"?

He gritted his teeth bitterly, held his breath and raised the knife to kill again.

Yuan Cixian didn't dare to blindly add to the chaos, and only when he was surrounded by three people on the edge of the cliff did he rush up. When he rushed over, he stabbed one person's back with a knife, and at the same time raised his knee to hit the other person's vital parts. Be tough.

Lu Shiqing threw the third man in black down the cliff, turned around and saw the assassin who was covered in sweat by Yuan Cixian, rolling and crying on the ground, he couldn't help feeling a pain somewhere, and looked at her in amazement, and then remembered Swinging a knife killed the people on the ground.

The surroundings fell into dead silence for an instant. Yuan Cixian heaved a sigh of relief as he held his knees.

This seemingly very dangerous cliff top is indeed a place that can be used quite well. Xu Shan's choice of such a terrain also followed the so-called wisdom of "changing the situation and breaking the situation".

She panted for a while and asked, "Is sir injured?"

Lu Shiqing almost spoke in his own voice, but when he reached the edge of his mouth, he stopped as if reining in a horse, and changed to Xu Shan's voice: "I'm fine. The magistrate's knee..." He hesitated and looked down, "Are you okay?"

She stood up straight, waved her hands and said, "It hurts a little, but it's okay." The main reason was that she seemed to have accidentally kicked the scabbard hanging on the man's waist just now.

Lu Shiqing was taken aback.

What? It hurts a little? Could it be that the beast is just hard?

Yuan Cixian didn't know why he choked, and hurriedly said: "It's not suitable to stay here for a long time, let's go down the mountain quickly, His Highness is already on his way to meet you."

Lu Shiqing's eyes kept falling on her knees, and only after hearing this did he retract his eyes and nodded.

She turned around and walked down the mountain, and finally had the time to raise her sleeves to wipe the blood on her face, but at this moment when she relaxed her guard, she suddenly heard a strange noise behind her.

Yuan Cixian looked back suddenly, and saw a "corpse" suddenly exploded, grabbing a dagger in his hand and stabbing at Xu Shan's heart.
