After I fell off the horse, my brothers all attacked me.

Huo Sinian didn't seem to notice it, and whispered: "I don't want to be a useless person, as powerless as I was when I drowned last time. I don't want to hold Anan back."

Shi Nan was a little embarrassed when he heard this, the two of them were as close as good brothers this day, but the problems between them had always existed, but he had deliberately ignored them.

Seeing Huo Sinian's trusting and gentle eyes, Shi Nan looked away uncomfortably.

Hey, you are the one who wants to be a brother, and you are the one who does not give the antidote.

Shi Nan: I'm such a scumbag.

But he did consider that the current situation is different than usual, but people's hearts are unpredictable. The original body's torture of Huo Si Nian was not a joke. He was willing to help a weak boy, but he was unwilling to release a fierce beast.

Even if there is only a slight possibility.

Shi Nan thought about it for a while, then he had an idea and found a solution.

He rummaged through the baggage for a long time, and when he turned around, he had two extra pills in his hand.

Shi Nan coughed a few times and pointed to one of them: "This is poison. I prepared it calmly in the past. It takes one pill every ten days. If it is stopped for one day, the poisoned person will bleed to death from seven orifices."

"Huosinian, what I'm doing is very important, I can't let you go now. If you want to regain your strength, you have to eat this."

Huo Sinian was not surprised at all, picked it up and ate it without hesitation, and continued to stare at the other one in Shi Nan's hand.

Seeing that Huo Sinian was so decisive, Shi Nan couldn't help feeling guilty for his defense.

He let go of the burden in his heart, and fed another real antidote to Huo Sinian: "Eat this, and you will regain your strength."

Huosnian paused for a moment, rolled his Adam's apple, and swallowed.

About half an hour later, Huo Sinian, who was sitting cross-legged, opened his eyes under the watchful eyes of Shinan and Huo.

He slowly clenched his fists, feeling the long-lost strength in his whole body, and glanced at Shi Nan's face with a strange and aggressive look.

Then, he closed his eyes, stood up and stood with his hands behind his back, and said meekly, "A'nan, it's done."

It seemed that the glimpse just now was just Shi Nan's illusion.

"It's almost time, I'm going to take the guy who is going to eat and leave." The bearded man held a long knife and urged the two of them.

Shi Nan suppressed the uneasiness in his heart, carried the burden on his back, and came to the corner.

First, the bearded man poked his head out, and after making sure it was safe, he pulled up Shi Nan who couldn't get up from below, while Huo Sinian kicked his long legs and climbed up lightly, like a swift and fierce cheetah.

The three of them landed on the ground and walked furtively against the wall.

When turning around the nearest corner, Shi Nan's ears twitched, and Huo Sinian turned his head abruptly, and saw a row of guards with knives fluttering down not far behind.

Black clothes with red stripes.The handle of the knife is engraved with the exclusive mark of the King of Jiangyin.

The headed guard looked cold and serious: "Zhuang He?"

A firm tone.

Before Shi Nan, who had a sudden change in his mind, could deal with it, the guard drew out his long knife. Against the backdrop of the moonlight, with a cold light, the tip of the knife swept across the ground, and swung it towards the three of them at high speed.

Huo Sinian moved his fingers, glanced vaguely at a figure somewhere, and shook his head slowly.

The bearded man was at the front, catching a sword glow from Sensen, and shouted: "Use poison quickly!"

There was only the flying knife light in Shi Nan's eyes, cold sweat dripped from the tip of his nose, and he woke up immediately after being yelled at by his beard.He frantically took out the bottles and jars from his luggage, without looking at them carefully, red and white, and waved a cloud of powder like a celestial maiden scattered flowers.

Brutely forcing a circle of guards back.

The people belonging to King Jiangyin froze for a moment, and the next moment, everyone tore off their clothes, covered their faces and other exposed parts, and rushed towards them again like ruthless puppets, holding knives.

Looking at this scene of about to be killed, Shi Nan, who was slaughtered, was trembling in his heart. He had never... been so close to death.

He is good at avoiding danger, greedy for life and afraid of death, courting countless powerful people, plus his luck has always been good, most of his experience went smoothly.

But tonight, with the blessing of King Jiangyin, he realized for the first time that only his own strength is the most solid barrier.

Seeing a guard breaking through his beard, he went straight to kill Shi Nan.

It's getting closer, it's getting closer...

Shi Nan's pupils shrunk to pinpoints——

He has never been so eager to become stronger.

Keng!

A long knife was thrown out of thin air, resisting the opponent's attack.

Shi Nan narrowly escaped death, dragged the panic-stricken Huo Sinian back a few steps, panted and leaned against the wall, watching the group of people who joined on the way fight with King Jiangyin's men.

Huo Sinian first glanced at Shi Nan's hand tightly gripping him, feeling strange, then turned his gaze to the fighting crowd, frowned, and reminded Shi Nan: "The ones who help us are also from the King of Jiangyin."

It was only then that Shi Nan noticed that although the newcomers were dressed in civilian clothes, upon closer inspection, the long knives they held were exactly the same as those of King Jiangyin's men!

What's even more strange is that Shi Nan found some familiar faces among them, including the one who sold him radishes during the day, the one who almost gave him pork for free, and the one who looked impatient and wanted to drive him away... ..

Shi Nan: "...??" What's the situation? !

Shinan was at a loss, but Huo Sinian beside him was thoughtful. He thought of the strangeness of the previous cruise and the protection of Shinan by King Jiangyin's men, and an incredible thought arose in his heart.

If he were him, everything would be explained.

Although Shi Nan looked dazed, it did not prevent him, who was clever, and the bearded man who was good at escaping, to take advantage of the chaos and leave the scene.

The three of them walked the inconspicuous path, and after about half an hour, they came to a temporary residence with a beard.

This residence is located in a commercial area in the North District, the rent is high, and the conditions are far beyond the place that Zhuanghe rents. Therefore, this compound is rented by multiple families, mostly small merchants who do business here.

The bearded man knew the truth about the darkness under the lamp, and gently pushed the door open, "The more people there are, the safer it is."

Shi Nan and Huo Sinian followed closely behind and closed the door behind their backs.

From the side came the sound of a child crying, the man scolded impatiently, and the woman coaxing the child to sing.It seems that in an instant, he returned from the battlefield of chilling to the daily life of daily necessities.

Shi Nan was still in shock, sat down exhausted, and asked the bearded man: "How do you know that my place is not safe?"

The bearded man recalled the tragic death of the hooked nose, and said bitterly: "I came out from you today, went to the stronghold to meet up, and was touched and uprooted."

That is to say, the forces directly under the bearded have been hit hard?

Shi Nan was overjoyed, because he didn't know the position of the bearded man, he asked politely: "Then how should the assassination of the King of Jiangyin continue?"

The bearded man glanced at Huosnian.

Shi Nan grinned and said, "He has been poisoned by me, he is already mine."

The ambiguity in the words...

Huosnian looked strange.

The bearded man thought about it, and the two of them rolled onto the same bed, fearing that they would have been in trouble for a long time.

The beard and beard moved, and was about to say something when he heard the sound of something falling outside the door.

The three of them looked at each other with vigilant expressions, and the bearded ears listened quietly for a while, and then opened the door suddenly—there was no one outside.

"What's that?" Shi Nan pointed to something wrapped in black cloth on the ground.

The bearded man hesitated for a moment, quickly took back his things, and closed the door tightly.

The three of them formed a table, and the beard carefully lifted the black cloth. With the movement of the beard, the things in the black cloth gradually revealed their shapes.

It's a... bloody woman's severed finger!

Looks like it was just cut down.

Shi Nan was startled, covered his mouth and nose, and frowned uncomfortably.

The moment the bearded man saw the severed finger, he trembled unexpectedly.

"Chun'er..." The bearded face was pale, and he shook his big rough hand, wanting to touch it, but didn't dare.

Shi Nan and Huo Sinian realized that this was someone the bearded man knew.Neither of them spoke.

The bearded man closed his eyes, put away his severed finger cherishingly, found a piece of paper soaked in blood from the black cloth, read it without saying a word, rolled the paper into a ball, and put it on the candlestick burnt on.

Tongues of fire licked from the note to his fingers, and his beard seemed to have aged several years.

He looked at Shinan fixedly: "Do you want to live or die?"

Shi Nan said of course, "I want to live."

"Because the stronghold was destroyed, the higher-ups have already murdered us, and a deadline has been set. If you can't kill the King of Jiangyin within ten days, you, me, and...my wife and daughter will all die. The place of burial." The bearded man said hoarsely: "Five days later, the King of Jiangyin will leave the city by a fixed route to participate in the royal hunt."

"Zhuanghe, this is our only chance."

"Either the king of Jiangyin will die, or we will die. Let's fight to the death, and it will be five days later."

Shi Nan: "..." Must die?

The author has something to say: Si Jingming: Do you have to look at my disappointed eyes?
