"I've searched them all carefully! The horses are all here. With such heavy snow, they won't be able to run far!"
A burly military man held a broadsword and patrolled the surrounding woods with fierce eyes.
It is said to be a forest, but in fact it is just a pile of bare dry trees, which cannot provide any shelter at all.
But the strange thing is that they are clearly pursuing their target, but they still lose the person in the blink of an eye...
But they were not in a hurry at all. They, a group of men, could afford it, at least more than that boy from the Qi family who was leading a drag queen.
"Qi San, who doesn't know that Princess Zhaoming has a heart of snakes and scorpions. Even though she is married to you, she never thinks highly of you. Have you suffered enough? If I were you, I would never wish for someone to help me kill her!"
The leading soldier sneered, and the others quickly agreed:
"That's right, we brothers are all aggrieved for you! How can a decent man allow a woman to dominate him? As for that girl in my family, carrying my shoes is just a compliment to her!"
"Qi San, otherwise, you hand her over to us, and we teach her a lesson for you. Then she won't cry and beg you to save her? But we are all from Hanyuguan, and our hearts are with you. I will definitely not harm you!"
"Yes, we will only kill her and never harm you!"
…
The men were smiling and looking around with vigilant eyes.
Anything not to kill is a lie. What they want is to anger Zhao Ming and lure the snake out of the hole, or to sow discord and make Qi Xiao turn his back on Zhao Ming.
Time passed by, and just when they thought Qi Xiao and the two would not fall into the trap, Qi Xiao's voice finally came from not far away:
"If I hand Zhaoming over to you, will you really give me a way out?"
"really!"
The leading soldier gestured to the others to quietly disperse and surround the target, and said with a smile:
"A bitch like Zhao Ming deserves to die in the wilderness with no bones left! But you, Qi San, are different. You are our brother, you can do whatever you want!"
"Whatever I want is fine?"
Qi Xiao spoke slightly, seeming to be very happy about this. The military man and others were about to continue answering in order to confuse him, but they heard him change the topic:
"Then I say, can I ask you all to die?"
In the snowy night, the long sword in Qi Xiao's hand flashed with cold light, and the thin man who circled behind and attacked was separated from his head, and he didn't even have time to let out a scream.
"Oh, I forgot to tell you, this is not asking for your opinion, but -"
"notify."
The leading soldier's pupils shrank. He instinctively sensed the danger, but he still gritted his teeth and said angrily:
"Qi Xiao, I wanted to let you live, but you didn't want it! Brothers, give it to me..."
However, before he could say the word "up", he noticed that there were ghostly figures flashing behind the bare dead trees around him.
In just a few breaths, an airtight circle formed around them.
Why is it said to be airtight?
Because they had no idea when these people came and how they controlled their aura so that they were not aware of it.
They only know that these people are masters, and they have fallen into a trap carefully laid by a group of masters.
"Consort, Mr. Qi, we have something to talk about. You see, we were all facing you just now..."
When the military man changed the subject, the domineering force he had just now disappeared, and was replaced by kind words and a flattering face.
Then he heard a female voice coming from behind Qi Xiao, quite agreeing with him:
"Yeah, yeah, I'm just pointing the knife at you, rounding it off it's called pointing at you."
Military man: "..."
"So don't be afraid, I and the consort are also facing you!"
Everyone: "..."
Looking back at Feng Xi who was standing behind him, chewing an apple while criticizing others, and not affected at all by being involved in danger or being scolded, Qi Xiao felt helpless and relieved.
No, when Feng Xi looked at him, the first thing she asked was:
"Why have you been staring at me? Do you want to eat an apple too?"
Qi Xiao chuckled:
"Well, kill first, then come back and eat after you kill."
After saying that, he dropped the words "Protect the princess" and rushed towards the soldiers and others.
Feng Xi was wondering when she saw several strong men surrounding her in the center. The position facing the battlefield was blocked tightly, leaving no room for her to watch.
Feng Xi expressed great regret for this, and then continued eating apples without any distractions.
Compared with Feng Xi's leisure, the experience of Jun Han and others was probably hell.
In the encirclement, they were like lambs being chased by the tigers behind them, and then died one by one in the tiger's mouth.
"Third Young Master, we, we said everything, it was Lin Guangchang, Lin Guangchang from Huxiao Camp sent us!"
"He is afraid that you will attack him when you arrive at Hanyuguan. He wants to destroy the evidence but General Yuan won't let him..."
"You stay with us, we can identify him for you and the princess!"
…
Jun Han and others tried their best to sell the seller, but all they got in exchange was three words:
"unnecessary."
Not only did Qi Xiao not need them, he quickly killed some of the minions and then picked out the people who had just insulted Feng Xi one by one.
Cut off the limbs and hang them on the tree. The blood drips on the snow, just like the red plum blossoms blooming in the snow, so charming and shocking.
Just when they were desperate for life and desperate for death, they heard Qi Xiao's warm voice:
"She's very nice, you shouldn't say that about her."
At dawn, the wind and snow were still unbridled.
After Peng Huan found a bunker to rest briefly, he began to greet everyone on the road again.
According to his prediction, they would be able to arrive at Hanyu Pass by midnight tonight at the latest, and it would be up to him and Lin Guangchang to decide what would happen inside the Pass.
Of course, he was still worried about one thing at the moment, and that was whether the killer he was chasing succeeded.
Fortunately, even God was helping him. Fanzi, who was sent out to find out the news, came back soon, and at the same time he brought back a white jade hairpin sent by Feng Xi.
The disaster relief team rushed to Hanyuguan in a hurry, so even Feng Xi, a princess, was dressed very simply.
Peng Huan remembered that this hairpin was the only ornament on Feng Xi's head. Now the white jade was stained with blood, and there were several gaps on the hairpin caused by falling and collisions. One can imagine the fate of its owner.
"Father, the matter is settled. The leading man said that they cannot return to the customs for the time being. Please ask you to report to General Lin on their behalf."
Peng Huan threw the hairpin to Fanzi who was speaking in disgust, and said in a rather sinister tone:
"It's easier on that little bitch."
He originally wanted her to survive but not to die!
No longer looking at the flattering smile on Fanzi's face, Peng Huan rode his horse into the snow again.
In the dead wood forest not far away, Qi Xiao and others were also getting ready to go.
"Master, they are gone."
Lowering his eyes and looking at the defenseless girl sleeping in his arms, Qi Xiao said softly:
"Let's go too."
