The system asked me, a weak woman, to challenge a saint

At Chen time the next day, outside the west gate of Huailing East Post. There were 9 broken corpses dressed in black on the ground. 20 soldiers stood beside the corpses and looked at each other. General Shi was pacing back and forth on the other side.

"Report!" A cavalryman came running from the west, dismounted and bowed in obeisance.

"Signs of monks fighting were found in the forest three miles west of the inn. The road was dug and there were pits. Dozens of dead people were found in the forest, all wearing black clothes and covering their faces. In many places in the forest, hundreds of feet of trees were chopped off with a single knife, suspected of being a magic weapon. What you did.”

General Shi stopped, looked at the messenger cavalry and asked, "Can you find out the identity of the deceased?"

"Apart from the uniform clothes, the deceased had no uniform tokens on his body. The weapons in the hands of the deceased in the forest were mixed, like a dead soldier in the rivers and lakes."

"Vendetta? Who was in charge yesterday?"

A deacon commander stood up and replied: "Yesterday, I was a deacon."

"Is there anyone who can enter the post before sunset?"

"No one reported yesterday that a woman came into the post at sunset. She had no official biography on her. She was sent away according to the rules of her humble position."

"Why didn't you report it?"

"This...yesterday...general..."

Seeing the commander hesitating, General Shi suddenly thought of the storm after sunset yesterday.

"That's it, that's all. Let's find a place to bury these pickled goods and clean them up so as not to scare the merchants."

"Yes."

Xiao Yuhan was on the third floor of the Post House, watching this scene silently. After she sneaked into the inn last night, she observed carefully in the dark corner until she saw the soldiers delivering the message. She quietly followed the soldiers to the house where General Shi slept, and then watched them busy in the corner of the house all night.

After she basically understood the situation here, she quietly left the inn.

The next day, the bodies of the assassins were disposed of, and the pits on the road were filled and compacted with rammed earth. Xiao Yuhan hid in an open space with a good view in the forest beside the road and meditated on attacking the air pockets all night, and monitored the road conditions during the day.

It wasn't until noon that she saw Chen Zixu's figure. She rode a bad horse from the east. When she saw that the traces of the fight had been cleaned up, she dismounted and looked around.

Xiao Yuhan squinted at her for a while, then quietly stood up and touched her behind.

"Yeah!" Chen Zixu screamed as his eyes were covered. She wanted to resist desperately, but after touching the blindfolded hand, she suddenly turned around and hugged Xiao Yuhan.

"Wen Ruo, I thought you..."

Xiao Yuhan was also a little surprised by Chen Zixu's sudden hug. She thought Chen Zixu would struggle a little more and say a few harsh words.

"Sister Zixu, I'm fine. How are you? Are you injured? Why do I feel that you are a little weak?" Xiao Yuhan felt that Chen Zixu's resistance at the moment when he was attacked by her was not as strong as expected, and it seemed that he was losing energy and blood. .

Xiao Yuhan felt that the skirt of her chest was a little wet, but she was too embarrassed to push Chen Zixu away, so she had to let her vent her emotions on her chest first.

About a quarter of an hour later, Chen Zixu's mood gradually eased. After tidying up her appearance, she said to Xiao Yuhan: "Wen Ruo, get on your horse first, and we'll talk as we walk."

"Okay." Xiao Yuhan brought the horse over. After getting on the horse, he stretched out his left hand towards Chen Zixu.

Chen Zixu showed a smile, grabbed Xiao Yuhan's hand with his left hand, took advantage of the momentum to get on the horse, sat behind Xiao Yuhan, and hugged her waist with his right hand.

Chen Zixu leaned his side on Xiao Yuhan's back and said softly: "Let's not enter the inn and keep going east."

Xiao Yuhan felt uncomfortable being hugged and leaned against her like this, but considering that she didn't know the way and her sister didn't want to fall out, she said lightly: "Okay."

The two men and one horse walked on the road not as fast as the war horses. The road was fertile and wild for thousands of miles. As far as the eye could see, there were vast farmland, rivers and lakes. The farmers are busy farming, seedlings have grown in the fields, and the countryside is full of vitality and vitality.

Xiao Yuhan, who had been silent for a long time, felt that the time was right and asked Chen Zixu: "Sister Zixu, are you feeling better?"

Chen Zixu still leaned on Xiao Yuhan's back and said softly: "You can see it."

Xiao Yuhan resisted the urge to complain and thought: Do I still need to watch it? Do you still dare to act more fake? I never had such a clingy person in my previous life, okay?

She squeezed out a smile and said, "Haha, yes, Sister Zixu, it's not common for you to look like this."

"Wen Ruo, don't you like me like this?"

Chen Zixu changed the part of Xiao Yuhan's back from his face to his forehead.

Xiao Yuhan grinned, and she pretended to be calm and said: "Sister Zixu, where are you injured? How about we find a place to rest for the night first."

"I'm fine, Wen Ruo, I...am I very useless?"

"What's wrong, sister, aren't we all fine?"

"I came to escort you, but in the end you were left alone to face a powerful enemy, while I fled, and in the end I didn't even find anyone to help me..."

"It's okay, sister, am I fine?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Xiao Yuhan felt a large patch of wetness on his back. She felt that Chen Zixu's mood was very wrong. She always felt that after just one day, he seemed to be a different person.

"Wen Ruo, I... I'm afraid... I'm afraid I'll never see you again, Wen Ruo, this road is too dangerous, let's run!" Chen Zixu cried and said to Xiao Yuhan.

"I will tell my father that my uncle and Sister Jiao'er will help us. Wenruo, give up. The water in Baihutang is too deep and you will really die!" She cried louder and louder.

Xiao Yuhan remained silent, and the two walked for another quarter of an hour.

After Chen Zixu's mood stabilized, Xiao Yuhan said slowly: "Sister Zixu, do you know why I am still alive?"

What Xiao Yuhan felt on her back was Chen Zixu's gently shaking forehead.

"You are right, I am in danger now, and the assassin almost succeeded."

When Chen Zixu heard this, his forehead left Xiao Yuhan's back, as if he was about to say something, Xiao Yuhan spoke again: "The monks who have the elixir formation stage or above saved me, and they may still be watching us now. Do you think I can run away?" Really? Sister Zixu, from the moment I chose this path, I was destined to be unable to look back."

Xiao Yuhan waited for a while and found that Chen Zixu had not spoken. He smiled slightly and continued: "Sister Zixu, don't worry too much. Everyone is fine now, but I haven't slept for two nights. You Now that we are also injured, let’s rush to Jiankang City and have a good rest.”

Chen Zixu neither hugged Xiao Yuhan nor leaned on her back. He just said lightly: "Wen Ruo, do you know who the person who saved you is?"

The corner of Xiao Yuhan's mouth turned up slightly and she said, "I don't know. I didn't see anyone at all, so these assassins were all dead. By the way, Sister Zixu, there is a fork in the road ahead. Should we go east or south?"

"Go south."
