Xiaotong first sighed with regret, and then said: "In the last encounter, the five of you ran away, but today, you can't fly even with wings!"
This tone contained seven parts of anger and three parts of annoyance, and it did not conceal any hint of grudge.
Indeed, Xiaotong hated these so-called five masters with a passion.
Needless to say, there is inherent hatred. From the moment the gunpowder magazine was set off, it was destined that from now on, either you will die or I will die. What annoyed her was that in the first and best-timed encounter, she fell short and failed to kill any of the five of them.
They all escaped.
Is this because Xiaotong is not good at studying?
Actually, it’s not!
Those five people are all veteran internal guards who are living as adults. Their rich experience is definitely not comparable to that of ordinary heroes. Seeing that their joint ambush failed, they knew they could not resist, so they decisively chose to escape.
At that time, Xiaotong, due to his lack of experience in dealing with the situation, was confused by the weird change of positions of the five masters. In the end, the success fell short and no one was caught.
However, this incident made her understand a truth - there is no so-called martial ethics.
Previously, Tong Yanhuo had told her that warriors must act openly and aboveboard. Even if they were engaging in a fight to bet their lives, they could not lose the dignity of a knight.
But in reality, the so-called grace is not easy to use at all. How can a cold attack and ambush be practical?
Therefore, for a long time after that, she used this as a guideline and began a journey of revenge that was like riding a thousand miles alone.
Slowly, she learned to hide, learn to be calm, and learned how to better use strategies.
It seems that she has grown.
The growth effect is very obvious.
Not long after, she patiently followed the few clues and successfully found one of the five masters. Then, kill it in one fell swoop.
At the same time, she also learned from the mouth of the 'dead man' that the current five masters were afraid and chose to hide their whereabouts by spreading out.
However, this tough-talking 'dead man' avoided talking about Emperor Jianwu's issues. No matter how hard you tried to intimidate him, he kept his teeth locked as usual.
After receiving the latest news, Qi Xiaotong immediately launched a corresponding pursuit.
Continuing her journey of traveling thousands of miles alone.
In the process, she couldn't help but do some good deeds, such as killing evildoers, punishing bullies, beheading corrupt officials, etc. These are all done casually, not deliberately.
Emperor Tian will pay off, as long as you don't give up easily.
This is what Qi Xiaotong is like at the moment. Her efforts are finally rewarded today.
The last one of the five masters survived, and she had successfully blocked it here. This time, he couldn't fly.
This person is none other than the fishing man in front of me.
Okay, let’s talk about the present first.
The man thought for a while and suddenly said: "Miss Qi, I want to ask you a question."
Xiaotong said calmly: "You can ask, but it is up to me to decide whether to answer or not."
The man laughed at himself and said: "I am a dying person, so what do you have to worry about?"
This means that dead people cannot speak.
But it makes no sense for a dead person to know anything!
Xiaotong seemed to let go of her entanglements and nodded: "You can ask."
The man cupped his hands to express his gratitude, and then said: "What I want to ask is, after your father, Mr. Qi, plotted to conquer Sarawak, will he be unpopular and continue to plot in neighboring Java?"
"Hmph! What is it about the lack of people's hearts? It's pure slander!" Xiaotong sternly rebuked him, and then said: "To tell you the truth, my father does have plans for Sarawak. However, this is not because of expansionism, but because of expansionism. It's because of the forced situation. If you want to blame it, blame the old king of Sarawak for being too confused and secretly helping our enemy Franji. The friend of the enemy is also our enemy. Since he is the enemy, he will naturally take action. Except that. As for whether he will plan for Java in the future, I really don’t know.”
What? Really don’t know?
That means Qi Yu doesn't have this intention yet.
After thinking about this, the man looked pleased.
"Okay, I've finished asking! Next, let me learn from the girl's clever tricks!"
"please!"
As soon as he said "please", the man raised his hand and whipped his whip sharply in a flash of cold light.
Whoosh! !
Strike first to gain the upper hand!
He is a veteran internal defender of the previous generation, and has always advocated seizing the upper hand in battles. This habit will not change easily at any time.
Amid the scream, Qi Xiaotong turned into a white shadow and easily avoided the attack with just a leisurely flash.
The man missed the first blow and struck again with the second blow. In the blink of an eye, the whip struck again.
Xiaotong dodged again, and once again easily avoided the attack.
Then, there was a series of attacks like a violent storm.
Look at the sharp edge of the whip. Sometimes it is as sharp as an arrow, and sometimes it is powerful and heavy. Its many changes are like the whimpering wind and clouds outside the Nine Heavens, which are both unobservable and unfathomable.
However, what is unexpected is.
This seemingly unstoppable sharp attack was dodged by Qi Xiaotong's just-in-time panning. His posture is still as leisurely as before, and he seems to be at ease.
In particular, the oil-paper umbrella she held in her hand was as stable as a rock from beginning to end, as if it were embedded in her hand, and it never trembled at all.
After fighting for a few more breaths, Qi Xiaotong sighed softly and said calmly: "It's getting late, you can go on your way..."
The man immediately ran away after hearing the words, but it was too late.
"ah……"
An almost inaudible scream hit his ears, but soon, the sound was covered by the rustling wind that happened to pass by.
In his field of vision, he saw a faint white light flashing through the swaying figures. Then, everything returned to its original calm.
The man stood there, intact as before, with no damage visible anywhere on his body. If there was any subtle difference, it would be that there was a faint red line on his throat.
Tong Yanhuo once said that as long as your sword is fast enough, you can kill people without blood.
Seal the throat with one sword! !
Qi Xiaotong strictly fulfilled his promise and left the man's body intact.
Then!
With a swish sound, the sword was returned to its sheath!
Before the corpse fell, Qi Xiaotong moved lightly and left in a leisurely manner.
As quietly as I came, I left, and the green banana plants on the soft mud swayed oily under the water.
After walking a short distance, she suddenly stopped again and murmured: "Next, Prince Surah of Sarawak..."
