Yu Qin almost collapsed emotionally, holding on to Yu An's arm and refusing to let go. Yu An glanced at her, but cruelly dropped her hand and gave it to Xu Huaigu to hold tightly.
He said to Xu Huaigu: "You can pull Qin'er to follow me later, and I'll go ahead to distract the other officers and soldiers. You and Yu Qin can take the opportunity to swim through the water, and there's still a glimmer of hope."
After hearing this, Yu Qin knew what Yu An was going to do, so she started crying, but she was afraid of disturbing the officers and soldiers, so she didn't dare to make a sound, so she had to bite her lower lip tightly, her face was pale, and she looked like a pear blossom with rain, which was extremely endearing.
Seeing Yu Qin's pitiful appearance, Yu An thought that they would never see each other again. A few tears squeezed out of the corners of his eyes, but he secretly wiped them away with the back of his hand without letting Yu Qin see them.
Xu Huaigu felt extremely sad when he saw the two of them making the final decision about life and death. This sadness turned into resentment towards the besieging officers and soldiers, and he actually had the urge to kill everyone.
He took a deep breath, and this impulse was quickly suppressed by his reason.
It's not that I no longer have the desire to kill, it's just that I can't do it. If he had this ability, he would go on a killing spree today!
In this life-and-death moment, someone has to make a sacrifice.
Yu An stopped talking and just dived into the water. Xu Huaigu grabbed Yu Qin's hand, dived into the water, and swam forward with Yu Qin.
He could see the legs and feet of the officers and soldiers blocking him in the water, getting closer and closer to them.
Yu An finally led them to swim in front of the soldiers.
The mountain river was already clear, but before Yu An could get even five feet away, officers and soldiers on the other side had already noticed the shadow in the water, and someone yelled, "Look over there, there's something in the water!"
Then Xu Huaigu saw a large group of officers and soldiers surrounding Yu An in the water.
Yu An saw that the three of them were still quite far away from the blockade and were discovered, and he felt unwilling to do so. The earlier it is discovered, the smaller the chance of survival.
But he knew he could no longer hesitate. When he saw an officer and soldier getting very close, he suddenly stopped and rushed upward out of the water, making a huge splash.
Yu An punched out from the water without hesitation, hitting the officer and soldier in the face with splashes of water. He was caught off guard and knocked directly into the river. He laughed wildly and said: "Kill you idiot!"
The officer and soldier immediately spat out a mouthful of blood and fell down. He was immediately picked up by the strong current and drifted downstream without knowing whether he was alive or dead.
When the officers and soldiers surrounding him saw the tragic end of their companions, they most likely would not survive. They all felt a little chilled and took a few steps away. They only dared to stay a foot away from him and did not dare to get closer.
The governor behind, Qi Wen, saw what was going on here. He hurried to the front on his horse and shouted to the group of officers and soldiers: "Hurry up and catch him! Whoever catches him will be rewarded with a hundred taels of silver!" "
The eyes of the officers and soldiers below suddenly lit up. One hundred taels of silver is not a small amount, it is worth their three or four years' salary.
With the temptation of money, as expected, a few bold officers and soldiers immediately began to eagerly try, waving their long knives and wanting to step forward.
Xu Huaigu and Yu Qin secretly bypassed the group of officers and soldiers surrounding Yu An and swam towards a place with the weakest defense.
Although the attention of the officers and soldiers was attracted by Yu An, one officer and soldier who did not move closer caught a glimpse of another shadow in the water, which seemed to be still swimming.
The shadow was at his feet. He was confused for a moment, and then he realized what he was doing. He was about to shout for help, but suddenly a sword edge broke through the water at the shadow in the water and pointed directly at his throat.
The officer and soldier was unable to dodge and did not even say what he said before he died. His throat was directly pierced by the sword, and his blood spurted out, dyeing a large area of the surrounding river red.
Qi Wen looked at the unexpected turn of events on this side in amazement, and suddenly understood everything, and loudly commanded: "Leave that man alone, surround the man with the sword over there!"
The officers and soldiers began to walk towards Xu Huaigu again under his command, but Yu An would not agree.
He grabbed an officer and soldier like crazy, pulled a knife from his hand, rushed through the crowd, slashed everywhere, completely disregarding his own life, and for a moment actually delayed the pace of the officer and soldier.
Qi Wen became anxious when he saw it and said: "Looking for death! Let me chop him!"
The surrounding officers and soldiers also drew their swords and chopped them off together. How could Yu An alone withstand the blades of several officers and soldiers? Suddenly, several cuts appeared on his body, blood flowed profusely, and then he fell helplessly into the river.
Xu Huaigu had just killed the officer and soldier when he saw Yu An being chopped down with swords and falling into the river, and felt a chill in his heart.
But she turned around to look at Yu Qin, who was already going crazy. Her hands were so strong that they almost broke Xu Huaigu's hand bones. The river water soaked into her hair, and her face was no longer as delicate and delicate as before, but as cold and biting as a snow-capped mountain ice spring.
Yu An was his savior after all, but now he ended up like this. He was extremely angry, pointed the tip of his sword at Qi Wen who was riding the horse, and shouted: "Dog Officer, do you dare to tell me your name!?"
Qi Wen was not afraid of him either, and said coldly: "Qi Wen, governor of Yiling County, if you have the ability to take revenge, come and take revenge!"
Yu Qin heard what he was saying and used all her strength in the water to resist the current. She stood firm and stubbornly stood her ground. She turned to Qi Wen with eyes like swords and said word for word: "I will kill you!"
Qi Wen sneered in his heart, but for some reason the moment he met the girl's eyes, his whole body felt as cold as if he had fallen into a cold spring in the twelfth lunar month. The maroon horse also neighed in fright, raised its front hooves, and stepped back several steps, very frightened.
Xu Huaigu looked at Yu Qin's face at this time, and felt a chill in his heart. This made him understand that Yu Qin's origin was not simple, and he couldn't help but be more curious about what was in the bag.
But the group of officers and soldiers were about to catch up. Xu Huaigu knew that time was precious and could no longer be wasted.
He held Yu Qin's hand and persuaded, "Let's go, we will definitely take revenge in the future."
Yu Qin relaxed his steps, and Xu Huaigu pulled him, watching the waves in front of him creating snow-white water splashes, and dived in, no longer stepping on the bottom of the river, but drifting away with the current.
Qi Wen also recovered from the cold look in Yu Qin's eyes. Watching Yu Qin escape, he was still worried in his heart. He had an intuition that if he didn't get rid of her today, he might actually do what Yu Qin said - "I will kill you" in the future.
He became more and more anxious, waving the reins of his horse and angrily pointing downstream: "Hurry up and chase him. I will reward the person who catches him as the county magistrate!"
When they heard that they could become officers, the officers and soldiers were greatly encouraged. A few people who were not afraid of death also dived into the water and chased downstream along the river, while Qi Wen and Guan Xu rode their horses at full speed. Follow along the river bank, splashing with water.
Only now does this dead dawn finally light up. The sun's rays shone into the valley, without any warmth.
