The Thunder Head stood in the shadow of the trees and was not obvious, but if someone came over, they would still be able to see it at a glance.
Li Qingyi gritted his teeth and looked around, his heart beating like a drum. He climbed up to the side of the thunder head and said to it: "Good horse, run faster and help your master distract the pursuers, escape with your life, and then come to us again, okay?" ?」
Lei Shou didn't know if he understood, but he moved his nose and rubbed Li Qingyi's palm.
Li Qingyi raised his hand and patted its butt, raised his hand and pointed in the direction of the other side of the mountain stream in front of him, "Run! Run quickly!"
Leishou snorted, neighed, raised his front hooves, and rushed forward like an arrow, crossing the mountain stream and rushing toward the dense forest on the other side!
Li Qingyi pursed his lips and crouched in the grass. After listening to the noise around him, he quickly returned to Qin Zeng and dragged him to the bushes by the stream. He then held the dagger in his hand and retracted it into his sleeve. Hold your breath and stare around.
Soon, two men on horseback rushed over from behind, then jumped over the bushes where they were hiding and chased in the direction of Lei Shou's escape!
Both men were holding bows and arrows, but the quiver carried by one of them was empty, and the other man had very few arrows left.
Li Qingyi saw the man setting up his bow and shooting an arrow, and then a burst of fire drew a bright light straight into the dense forest, illuminating the darkness ahead.
But it didn't hit the trees, and the light was fleeting.
Li Qingyi bit his lower lip and squatted quietly on the spot. He breathed a sigh of relief until the distant sound of horse hooves disappeared and the silence of the dark night returned to the surrounding area.
However, she did not dare to move, for fear that there would be enemies around.
Qin Zeng was still unconscious and had not woken up after being dragged away just now. Li Qingyi looked at his wound, tightened the bandage again, and thought about looking around to find some herbs to stop bleeding and detoxify.
But when she turned her head to look at the stream, she was frightened by the black shadow standing there and almost screamed!
The man stood quietly between the creek and the bushes, holding a horse in his hand. He was probably one of the people chasing them.
At this moment, he stood there, facing the moonlight, with half of his face covered by black cloth, only a pair of eyes exposed, looking at her continuously.
Li Qingyi's scalp was numb. Since the other party had discovered him, why didn't he call his companions, but instead stared at him silently?
Is it a hunter teasing his prey?
Li Qingyi's heart almost stopped beating. He squatted stiffly next to Qin Zeng and looked at the man.
The other party finally moved his eyes away from her, looked at Qin Zeng lying there, and said slowly in a low voice: "Admiral of Dongchang, Qin Zeng."
He spoke in Beijing dialect and his voice was low.
If Li Qingyi was an inexperienced woman in the back house, she might not be able to hear anything unusual, but she had been with Qin Zeng in her previous life, and she had some insights under her influence.
This person must have deliberately changed his voice to conceal his identity.
Could it be that the other person has met him face to face and thinks he can recognize him?
She was about to take a closer look at the half of his face that was revealed, but the other party drew out the sword from his waist and walked towards them step by step.
Fear appeared on Li Qingyi's face and he wanted to stand up, but his feet gave way and he fell down next to Qin Zeng.
In the backlight, the other party's face became increasingly blurry, and the dark shadow pressed down on them, making Li Qingyi find it difficult to breathe.
The man raised his sword high, as if he wanted to pierce Qin Zeng's heart!
Li Qingyi suddenly raised his voice and said, "I know who you are!"
The other party paused and his eyes fell on her face again, but he did not respond to her.
Li Qingyi's beautiful nails had been broken long ago while running away. It was particularly painful when it was dug into her palms, but it just kept her calm. "You changed your voice and deliberately spoke with a Beijing accent. You want me to mistakenly think that you are from Beijing." , but this has exactly the opposite effect! You and those people... are not the same!"
The other party listened to her words and said nothing, but moved the tip of the sword in front of her.
Li Qingyi stared at the sword in front of him, his chest rose and fell sharply, and his voice was also affected by the force of the sword.
It became dark and deep due to the pressure, "When the leader of those people raised his voice and said that they must be killed, he spoke in Beijing dialect. It doesn't matter whether they are true or false. What is important is..."
Her voice gradually dropped, as if she was afraid to speak loudly because of fear.
The man took a step closer, wanting to hear what she said clearly.
"...You pretend to be like them in order to hide your identity, right?"
When she said this, the man opposite suddenly understood how she had guessed it. He couldn't help but stare at Li Qingyi's beautiful eyes staring at him. However, just in this blink of an eye, a dagger suddenly appeared in front of his eyes. It had already pierced his lower abdomen.
He reacted very quickly, turned over and dodged to prevent the blade from making any further progress. However, he underestimated the sharpness of the dagger and the distance was too close. The blade swung upwards from his lower abdomen as he moved, slashing all the way. It reached his shoulder and directly broke his ribs!
Blood gushed out!
He covered the most injured part of his chest in disbelief and backed away. However, Li Qingyi couldn't let go of this opportunity. Taking advantage of the victory, he kicked the opponent's lower abdomen where he was most vulnerable, and shook out a handful of powder and sprinkled it into his eyes.
This is the medicinal powder she uses for self-defense on weekdays, and she just takes a bottle with her when she goes out. She can't go out with a bunch of small porcelain bottles clinking around her at any time.
But in the future, even if it is more troublesome, she will definitely bring all the antidote pills, heart protection pills, and golden sore medicine with her!
The man never expected that Li Qingyi, a weak woman, could use such methods. Extreme pain came from his eyes and lower body. He had no choice but to wave his sword and guard to prevent Li Qingyi from getting close to him again and giving him a fatal blow.
But soon, he discovered that the medicinal powder that Li Qingyi had just sprinkled was not only intended to attack his eyes, but also had an effect similar to "cartilage powder", and a feeling of powerlessness gradually crept up throughout his body.
He quickly used his last strength to seal the acupuncture points to stop the bleeding, and then his legs gave way and he knelt on the ground. The only thing left to do was to stare straight at the little girl in front of him who was full of tricks, with all kinds of astonishment in his eyes. .
Li Qingyi didn't see the emotion in his eyes. He immediately stepped forward and stepped on the man's wrist. The man loosened his hand and let go of the long sword. Li Qingyi picked up the long sword and put it aside, then pulled off his face towel.
It was just an ordinary face that didn't even match his sharp and bright eyes.
Li Qingyi thought for a while, then reached out to pick and scratch the man's ear and hair, thinking he could pull off a mask, but...
Nothing at all.
Li Qingyi was a little stunned. Did he think wrong?
Since she didn't know the other party, why did the other party change his voice to hide it? Maybe Qin Zeng knows him?
Out of caution, even if Qin Zeng was unconscious, the man subconsciously wanted to hide it?
After much deliberation, in addition to this reason, either the man's disguise is relatively strong and requires a special potion to remove it.
But now is not the time to dwell on this.
Li Qingyi conveniently stuffed the face towel that was pulled off the man's face into his mouth, tore open his outer robe and tied his hands before he began to search him with peace of mind.
