The night is getting darker and the weather is getting colder.
Han Xiang couldn't bear to abandon Zhu Zhizhi, so she had to stay outside the cave alone.
The fire in the cave was still there, but the human voices had long since subsided, and it was obvious that the extraterrestrials had already fallen asleep.
Han Xiang saw that there was no movement in the cave, so he gradually got closer, trying to see clearly what was going on inside. But when she took a closer look, she saw that there were two guards at the door, just leaning on a big stone and taking a nap.
"It seems they are not very careful!" Han Xiang thought, and did not dare to get closer, for fear that they had set up hidden sentries and she did not know it at all. If he was discovered, not only would he not be able to save anyone, but his life would also be in danger.
At this moment, suddenly there was another voice from the cave entrance, and a group of people came out, which happened to be the same people who brought Zhizhi out earlier.
It was about the third watch at this time, and the dozen or so people left in a hurry, most likely heading into the city. Because tomorrow morning, if they try to sneak into the city, they will probably have a lot of trouble. It was probably because of this concern that they planned to enter the city at this time.
Han Xiang took a closer look at the person taking the lead, and saw that he was tall and had a razor on his back, which was very annoying. Except for him, most of the others used swords, so they naturally looked much more ordinary.
Han Xiang had previously counted about twenty barbarians on the mountain, but he had no idea whether there were still people hiding in the darkness.
After a while, those people had already gone away, and the guards at the two cave entrances were already fast asleep. For the sake of safety, Han Xiang first tried throwing several stones at the entrance of the cave, but there was no movement. However, Han Xiang still did not dare to act rashly, because she knew that there were at least five or six people in the cave. If she broke in alone, she would probably be surrounded by them, and it would be difficult to fly even if she had wings.
It was going to be daybreak soon. Han Xiang was cold and hungry at this time, and while he was anxious, five people came out of the cave again. Only one of the guards woke up, and then they chirped a few words, and the five people went to They were scattered all over the mountain. Looking at their looks, Han Xiang roughly guessed that they were going to collect firewood and hunt game. There was probably not much firewood left inside. It's such a cold day, but it's impossible without fire.
Han Xiang calculated carefully. If there really were no hidden whistles, there would be at most two people outside the cave. If he didn't take action now, there would really be no chance when those people collecting firewood came back.
If there are only two people in the cave, plus the two outside the door, there are at most four people. The previously most skilled swordsman had already left, so she could barely deal with four people.
Han Xiang made up her mind, so she quietly approached the entrance of the cave without making a single sound, hoping to subdue the two of them in their dreams. But if they discover her and call her companions back, she will be in big trouble.
She is also a veteran of the world and has encountered all kinds of dangers in the world, so she is not afraid at all, just a little nervous. At this time, when people are most tired, the two guards were fast asleep and had no idea that the danger was approaching. Han Xiang was already close to the cave entrance and right next to the two guards, but they still didn't wake up. Han Xiang stretched out two fingers from his right hand, then suddenly pounced forward, tapping the acupuncture points of the two people in an instant. Although the two of them were woken up by Han Xiang, when they woke up, they were all so weak that they couldn't even move a finger, let alone speak for help.
Han Xiang succeeded in the first battle, but she also knew that there must be someone else in the cave. She had no idea whether she could win by surprise this time. If she couldn't quickly subdue the enemies inside, her situation would still be very dangerous, let alone saving others.
If you don't enter the tiger's den, you won't get the tiger's cubs.
Han Xiang knew that if he wanted to save Qingying Princess Zhu Zhizhi, he had to enter this cave, but there would also be great danger. There is only one way to protect herself, which is to abandon Zhu Zhizhi and leave here safely alone.
Han Xiang entered the cave step by step, only to hear the "cracking" fire coming from inside, mixed with a loud noise. He expected that the people in the cave must have fallen asleep. But Han Xiang couldn't figure out how many people were inside, or whether they were all asleep.
Han Xiang pulled out a dagger with her right hand and entered the cave very carefully. Gradually through the firelight, she saw that Zhizhi was tied up like a rice dumpling and she was lying on a piece of bluestone and fell asleep. In a corner opposite her, another Hu man was sleeping on the stone slab with a lot of clothes spread on it. There was a fire burning next to him, and he was dozing off comfortably.
Seeing that there was no danger, Han Xiang strode in, but after taking only two steps, she found that there was a blind corner inside, and a foreigner was making a mess.
When Han Xiang came closer, she heard a sound. She turned sideways and took a look, but saw that the man was carrying his back and was very happy.
"Who are you?" The man asked in very unfamiliar Chinese. It's just that his voice wasn't loud, so he didn't wake up the sleeping person next to him.
When Han Xiang was asked by him, she immediately reacted. Life and death depended on each other in an instant. She didn't have time to be shy because she didn't want to see anyone who's rude. She just rushed forward, covering the man's mouth with her left hand, and grabbed him. Push it onto the cave wall. Although the man saw Han Xiang, he didn't expect Han Xiang to make a sudden move, and his reaction was much slower.
The man's mouth was held tightly by Han Xiang, and he could only make a "hmm" sound, let alone call for help from his companions. Han Xiang knew that he could not survive, so he immediately stabbed the man's abdomen with the dagger in his right hand. But that man was also a practitioner after all, and his reaction was not slow at all. He only grabbed her right wrist with his left hand, and the dagger hand was only an inch away from his lower abdomen, but he could not move forward at all. The man felt Han Xiang's murderous intent, so he wanted to escape as soon as possible. He held Han Xiang's right wrist with his left hand and let the dagger rest on his waist so that it could not really hurt him. Then he grabbed Han Xiang's neck with his right hand and lifted her up forcefully. Han Xiang kicked her feet straight, but they didn't touch the ground at all. The left hand covering the man's mouth immediately loosened a little.
The man was tall and tall, with a typical northern barbarian figure, and his arm strength was astonishing. When he saw that Han Xiang had been restrained with one hand, he had no intention of calling his companion, and only had a contemptuous smile on his face.
Han Xiang was strangled in the air by the man, as if hanging, her eyes were white, her tongue was sticking out, and she couldn't even see clearly.
But while she was in a daze, Han Xiang looked at the opportunity, suddenly broke free from the restraints on her right hand, and inserted the dagger into the man's chest with a "whoosh" sound.
"Hmm..." The man grunted for the last time, his body finally slowly slid down, and then he let Han Xiang go.
Han Xiang ran away, only taking a few breaths, but saw the man still looking at her with wide eyes. When he stood upside down, Han Xiang herself was startled, and she almost screamed.
It wasn't that she had never killed someone before, but it was the first time she had fought with her life like this for several days. All her actions just now were done subconsciously and did not go through her brain at all. At that time, if she had not done so, or had been slower to take action, she would have been strangled to death by this big man.
"What's going on?" Han Xiang was fighting with the man just now. Although the man didn't shout for help, he still made a lot of noise and woke up the sleeping man.
But the man's sleepy eyes looked at Han Xiang standing in front of him, but he thought he was his companion. He kept rubbing his eyes and asked lazily.
Seeing that the other person was awake, Han Xiang suddenly pounced again. Before the other person could react, she immediately pounced on him again and stabbed him with her dagger, hitting his lower abdomen.
Poor that man, he was already killed before he could wake up from his sleep.
