The one-armed man was none other than He Ji, who was leading the liger cubs all the way north from the Eighth Formation of the Stone Gate in the back mountain of Hejiabao.
While escaping to the north, what He Ji heard the most was the rumors about the young man in green shirt. Hearing that the Hejiapu, which the father and son had worked hard for many years, had become someone else's bag, and every time he touched it, he felt empty. With his right arm, He Ji couldn't restrain the hatred in his heart. More than once, he wanted to turn around and sneak back to Hejiapu to kill all those people in order to relieve the hatred in his heart and avenge his father and brother.
But then he thought about his father dragging the boy and his group back with his life, and He Ji immediately calmed down. No matter what, he would fulfill his father's last wish and escort the liger cub back to Jin.
He Ji didn't know what happened to Hejiabao, let alone the remnant soul that disturbed Fengjiabao. He only heard rumors that Fengjiabao not only wanted to reopen the arena, but also wanted to recruit heroes from all over the world.
He Jizhi said that the Feng family would not let him go. He was not afraid that the Feng family would come to seek revenge, let alone death. However, he still had a heavy responsibility on his shoulders and could not die yet, so he went north and hid in Tibet. Dare to show off, even for his broken arm, he only found a charlatan to give him a rough treatment. After killing and silencing him, he hurriedly embarked on his journey again.
During this period, Feng Dian slept in the open and traveled at night. During the day, he could only hide in sparsely populated places, always on guard against someone from the Feng family coming to hunt him down.
On the contrary, this liger cub, after leaving the Eighth Formation of Shimen, has been noisy all day long. No matter how it is comforted in any season, it will never eat the milk of cows, sheep and poultry that it gets.
This was undoubtedly the biggest headache for He Ji, who had hidden his identity and traveled all the way north. But one day when He Ji was doing cross-legged exercises to heal his injuries, he discovered that the liger cub had crawled onto his lap and was sucking from him. The internal energy radiated out, and then he recalled that the liger feeds on true energy.
The liger cub doesn't have a big appetite. After absorbing its own internal energy, it fell into a deep sleep and stopped making noises.
Since then, He Ji has used his own internal energy to feed the liger cub every day, put it into the medicine box of the charlatan he had silenced, and traveled all the way north.
After going through all kinds of difficulties, we finally arrived in Yanbei. We found that the further north we went, the more stringent the inspections were. We didn’t dare to enter the city rashly, so He Ji walked along the small road until it was getting late. He wanted to find a place to rest, but what happened? It snowed heavily, and as the wind and snow got worse, He Jizheng was worrying about where to stay and how to deceive the various states and counties to return to Jin Dynasty, when he saw beacon fire and smoke, burning the sky red.
After protecting the wooden box behind him, He Ji rushed all the way. He saw the young man dressed as a young man and the woman in maroon armor in the beacon tower from a distance, and couldn't help but secretly thought, God help me.
Whether it is the woman wearing maroon armor or the young man, it is obvious at a glance that they are definitely not beacon tower garrison soldiers. They dare to light the beacon fire, so they must be of extraordinary status. Looking like this at this time, if he wants to leave Yanbei and return to Jin, he can only I'm afraid it will be even more difficult. If I could capture these two people, use them as hostages, and take myself out of the confinement, wouldn't it save a lot of trouble.
But looking at the woman in armor and the man behind her dressed as a young man, He Ji didn't dare to be careless. He thought of testing it. As long as he understood their skills, he would still have a chance even if he was missing an arm. After capturing the two of them, He Ji pretended to enter the beacon tower...
Withdrawing his thoughts, He Ji couldn't help but secretly admire that Qi Yunguo was full of talents, not to mention the Mu Yi boy in Hejia Fort, who was the young master he was currently capturing, and his mind was also astute.
Although he showed weakness at every turn and thus exposed his doubts, judging from the scheming of this young master who led him into the beacon tower and kept testing him, he was no ordinary official. After listening to his "rich family fortune" and "sending officers and soldiers to escort him", I was convinced that this young master was either rich or noble, and it would be best to capture him as a hostage...
Concentrating his mind, He Ji grabbed the young man's neck. After looking carefully, he realized that this young man's face was so familiar. He was somewhat similar to the young man in green clothes. For a moment, he felt hatred in his heart, and his hands moved according to his heart. The strength of the fingertips unconsciously increased a bit.
Qi Tao didn't expect that this one-armed man, who seemed to be pale and weak, could have such a martial arts level. It was beyond his expectation. He couldn't help but secretly cursed himself for underestimating the enemy and not having enough time. When he was thinking about how to escape, he felt that the opponent's five fingers were tightly grasping his neck like iron pliers. Not only that, as the strength of his fingertips became stronger and stronger, within a few breaths, he could no longer breathe.
Qi Tao felt a little regretful at this time. He was too conceited, thinking that everything was still under his control just like in Jianglin City. He didn't expect that a mere man with a broken arm could put himself in such a predicament. Still... It's too late to regret my decision to send Yan Qingchuan and other guards away temporarily...
As the strength in the one-armed man's hand became stronger and stronger, Qi Tao could no longer think. He could only instinctively stretch out his hands to open the opponent's palm. His handsome face was no longer calm at all, and had turned purple. , both feet began to tap the ground non-stop.
Seeing that the young master was about to die in his own hands, He Ji's mind seemed to have his father's instructions to him appear in his mind. He closed his eyes slightly, and his violently heaving chest finally slowed down. He Ji suppressed the anger in his heart, and the five fingers tightly clasped in his hands also Then relax.
Qi Tao, who had regained his vitality, fell to the ground. After coughing violently, he opened his mouth and breathed hard for a moment. The purple color on his face faded slightly. He ignored the five bruised and black fingerprints on his neck and looked at the fainted person from the corner of his eye. Mo Sicheng, who was unconscious, felt a little relieved when he saw her chest rising and falling and she was still breathing, and then he analyzed the situation between the two of them in his mind.
But before Qi Tao could think about it, the one-armed man spoke first: "Look at your dress and the way you used the trick just now, even if you can't get me out of Qi Yun safely, you can still keep me safe."
After saying this, Qi Tao was secretly surprised. He originally thought that this one-armed man was related to the bandits pretending to be Rangers of the Northern Jin Dynasty. He did not expect that he was really a spy of the Northern Jin Dynasty, but he clearly saw the wooden box he only carried with him. There was only a strange beast among them, nothing else. He sneaked into Qiyun to find out what it was.
"Don't think about it, let's make a deal...as long as I can leave Yanbei and return to Jin safely, I'll let you go, okay." He Ji said with a smile again.
However, this smile, in Qi Tao's eyes now, is full of cruel mockery. He knows in his heart that since this person can sneak into Qi Yun alone, how can he let him go after he comes out of seclusion, but he has no ability to escape at this time ...
The more dangerous the situation, the more he has to stay calm. Qi Tao forced himself to calm down, intending to stabilize the other party first, so he said calmly: "It seems that even if I don't want to, I can't."
The one-armed man looked up at the sky and thought to himself: "The wind and snow have gradually stopped, and the beacon fire has been burning for a long time. It won't be long before the Qiyun border defenders come. Since they have caught the amulet, they need to leave quickly. "
He had made up his mind. Hearing that the young man seemed calm, he snorted coldly and turned his eyes to the fainting brown-armored woman beside him. He took the two of them on the road, which was not easy to control. Besides, this woman also had some martial arts skills. I'm afraid it would be even more difficult. If you stay, If this woman is killed, her whereabouts will be exposed.
Qi Tao saw the one-armed man looking at Moti with murderous eyes, and immediately knew what he was thinking, and hurriedly said: "If you kill her, I will not protect you from Yanbei even if I die."
With a sneer, He Ji said sarcastically: "You understand people's hearts very well. Then, young master, you can give me an idea. How can I avoid revealing my whereabouts?"
"Take her with you." Qi Tao knew that if he didn't convince the one-armed man, Mo Ti would die immediately in the beacon tower.
"It's already troublesome to take you on the road alone, but you also need to take her with you? Do you think I'm not enough of a burden? How can I explain this interrogation along the way?" As He Ji spoke, he leaned over to pick up the long sword on the ground. With murderous intent in his eyes, he headed towards Mo Ti.
Seeing this, Qi Tao didn't care about anything else. He stood up and stopped in front of Mo Ti. He said in a deep voice to the one-armed man: "You don't have to worry about these. I have my own way to protect you from Yanbei safely."
He Ji held a long sword in his hand and stared at the young master in front of him. The young master did not dodge and met He Ji's gaze. In the flash of confrontation, hesitation and murderous intent kept changing. After a moment, He Ji seemed to have made up his mind. He raised the edge of the sword in his hand and stabbed straight at the young master...
In an instant, the scenes from his birth to his determination to compete for the ninth-five position flashed through his mind. He did not expect that this one-armed man was really going to kill him.
As he closed his eyes and waited for death, Qi Tao really regretted that he was too conceited and really thought that everything was in his own hands. He regretted why he insisted on letting Yan Qingchuan and other guards leave. Maybe he didn't trust Yan Qingchuan and could only support him. Only by driving him can we safely take the young man in green shirt under his command.
Now that I think about it, it's really ridiculous. How can I fight for the ninth-five position if my life is gone...
After a while, Qi Tao did not feel the pain of the long sword piercing his body. He slowly opened his eyes and saw that Mo Ti's long sword had passed by and inserted into the wall behind him. The one-armed man Looking at himself with sarcasm.
"It's up to you, but if I find anything strange between you two, I will kill you two immediately." The one-armed man looked at Qi Tao's Adam's apple that was turning up and down, and didn't bother to speak.
Qi Tao suppressed the anxiety in his heart and turned around quickly, wanting to wake up Moti who was unconscious on the ground, but he heard the one-armed man behind him say: "Don't worry, I'm careful with my actions, she's fine... Open the cork of this thing, let it go She can smell it and wake up naturally."
——
Under the moonlight, only the afterimage of the green shirt appears.
Gu Xiao jumped into the wind and looked in the direction of the Mojun Beacon Tower in his memory. After walking for about half an hour, he felt that the wind and snow were getting smaller, and he was very happy.
Although one can withstand the wind and cold with sufficient internal strength, the visual distance is limited due to the strong wind and snow. This time, as the wind and snow gradually subsided, one could already see the scenery ahead.
The silver moon shines on the Qionghua, and the blue shirt is like a shooting star.
Gu Xiaoyun used up twelve points of his internal energy to perform the water splashing and snow stepping to the extreme. In an instant, the afterimage turned into a green light and walked through the forest.
Turning his head to avoid the dead branches in the forest, Gu Xiaoxing kept scanning his surroundings, dodging the ice edges that appeared from time to time. It was different from the embarrassment he had when chasing his master in the mountains when he returned to the mountain. At this moment, these ice edges could no longer be scratched. Ragged young man's green shirt.
Seeing that there seemed to be no dead branches blocking the road ahead, Gu Xiao fell for a moment, tapped the snow on the ground with his feet, and jumped up again...
The handsome young man burst out of the forest.
The wind and snow had stopped, and it suddenly became clear. When he was in the sky, Gu Xiao looked far into the distance. He saw not far away, a dense darkness, crowded with people, and footsteps.
"Qi Yun's army... patrolling army?" Gu Xiao murmured to himself, and immediately remembered the patrolling army he mentioned when he and Young Master Yun parted. He thought he saw the flames of war and was rushing to Mo On the way to the county.
Gu Xiao didn't want to reveal his whereabouts, so he quickly dispersed and walked in the snow for seven miles. His figure suddenly fell and landed gracefully behind a huge rock in the mountain. He looked around, but the night was too dark and he couldn't see anything clearly. He could only see the patrol in front of him. It seems that they have stopped their march and are setting up camp and waiting for orders.
To rush to the beacon tower, he had to pass through the patrolling troops in front. Gu Xiao was a little embarrassed. At this time, he wanted to take a detour. Not to mention the rugged mountain road, even the mountain was full of dead trees, icy edges, and covered with snow. If you want to go around by yourself, you have to pass through the patrol in front. If you are alone and traveling at night, you will inevitably be regarded as a suspicious person.
He had been misunderstood once before in Mo County. This time Gu Xiao did not act rashly and was thinking about whether to borrow General Wan's gold medal to pass the arrow through.
After a second thought, I gave up the idea. Not to mention that General Wan has been relieved of his military power. Even if General Wan is still in Yanbei, I am afraid that if I show my command arrow, these soldiers will regard him as a thief and capture him on the spot.
After some calculation in his mind, Gu Xiao decided to take advantage of the cover of night to pass through the patrol.
After making up his mind, Gu Xiao no longer wasted any time. He took out his arms and covered his face with a black cloth. He hid behind the boulder, looked ahead and performed Qing Gong.
Some people died, but not completely...
