beg for chivalry

The torrential rain is mixed with human voices, hustle and bustle, like thunder clamoring in the distance.

But when the lacquered wooden door of the posthouse was closed, everything fell into dead silence, and the room was pitch-black, with only an occasional gleam of snow-white lightning flashing through the crack of the door.

Yu Bingzi pressed the door leaf shut, closed her eyes and exhaled slightly, after repeating this three or four times, she finally turned around abruptly as if she had made up her mind, with her back firmly pressed against the door leaf.

"……Who are you?"

she asked warily.

Yu Yiwei hurriedly tied up the two unconscious assassins with hemp rope, took off their swords and dart feathers, and put them beside him.After finishing everything, he hurriedly dragged his injured leg to the side of the cart, slowly helped up the bruised jade handle, and said eagerly:

"You save him first!"

"Who is he?" Yu Bingzi looked suspiciously at Yu Zhixu.Yu Zhixu was injured too badly, his whole body was blood red, his skin seemed to be peeled off, his face was beyond recognition, even Yu Bingzi couldn't see his appearance.

"It's... a disciple of the Tianshan Gate."

Yu Yiwei swallowed the name with difficulty.He couldn't tell Yu Bingzi their real names. If she knew that the nearly decomposed body in front of her belonged to her most revered senior brother, she would be devastated.At this time, his hesitant eyes met Yu Zhixu, who slowly shook his head: He also didn't want Yu Bingzi to know his identity.

The girl's face turned pale for a moment, she gave Yu Yiwei a hard look, and without saying a word, she took out a sand jar from the closet, filled it with water, and lit a fire.When the water was bubbling, she threw the yuan hoof from dinner into the pot and boiled a bowl of hot soup.Yu Yi didn't see Yu Bingzi looking around, so he immediately took the silk scarf from the wooden beam knowingly.

Without making a sound, she took the silk towel and dipped it in boiling water, cut up the ragged clothes on Yu Zhixu's body with scissors, and wiped the hot silk towel on Yu Zhixu's body mercilessly.The wiped carrion and blood fell down, the blood polluted the ground, and it looked extremely terrifying.

Yuzhi sucked in a low breath, his bloody facial features wrinkled.The punishment he received was heavier than this, and he was used to the pain.But Yu Yiwei closed his eyes and didn't dare to look at it, he only hated that he had thrown away the piece of cloth plugged in his ears earlier, and Yu Zhixu's painful low panting fell into his ears, every sound seemed to cut his heart.

He was closing his eyes when he suddenly felt his sleeves being tugged a few times. When he opened his eyes to look, he saw Yuzhi Xu trying his best to calm the pain, and said to him in a trembling voice: "If I...faint...just...wake...me. "

"Why...why?"

"The way to the mountain station...I still...remember. There is...a small path...that can avoid people..." After Yu Zhixu said these words intermittently, he groaned in pain.

"...Okay." After a long time, Yu Bingzi finished applying meat-eating ointment on Yuzhi Xu's body, and then said softly.

Yu Yi opened his eyes without hesitation, only to see that after applying the plaster, Yu Zhixu seemed to have scars all over his body, mottled and mottled, and it was impossible to see whether the injury had improved.He asked, "Can this... make it better?"

The little junior sister lowered her eyes and shook her head: "He was injured too badly, and the usual methods of removing putrefaction and regenerating muscles were too late, so I could only alleviate the injury a little bit. My medical skills are not as good as those of the sisters in my family. I am really...incompetent... Do nothing."

She clenched her fists tightly, tears streaming down her face.If she were to find out that this person was Yu Zhixu, she would feel very sad.Yu Yiwei thought to himself, and moved closer to look sadly.Yuzhi Xu frowned and groaned incessantly. There was a thin layer of bloody sweat on his body, and he seemed to have passed out.

Seeing his drowsy state, Yu Yiwei couldn't bear to wake him up, but he had no choice but to turn his head and asked Yu Bingzi, "Is there any medicine for waking up? I still have something to ask him."

But Yu Bingzi's beautiful eyes were full of anger, "Why did you wake him up? Do you still want to torture him?"

This made Yu Yi speechless, but after thinking about it, in the eyes of my junior sister, he is a villain who tortured the disciples of Tianshan Sect.He shook his head hastily, "He knows the shortcut to get out of the mountain station, it's better to let him guide us. There are many assassins outside, if we go out rashly, we will definitely be surrounded."

After being silent for a while, Yu Bingzi raised his head with a bit of determination in his expression.She looked directly at Yu Yiwei and said, "You haven't told me, who are you?"

Yu Yiwei helped Yuzhi Xu onto the cart, wrapped it in a tung oil cloth, hesitated for a while with his head down, and said: "...the person who came to save you."

"You are...Huo Shiqi, right? I met you face to face," Yu Bingzi looked at him, with a hint of sadness in her eyes, she tightened her skirt and asked.

"An assassin in Houtianlou, why did you reach out to save me?"

The assassin who wrapped his head and face in cotton cloth remained silent, knelt down to search the bodies of the two unconscious assassins, took out a croissant from his arms, opened it and took a look.This snuff bottle is in good condition, and the tobacco powder inside looks like it cost a lot of money. It is often taken by assassins to refresh themselves on weekdays.

Yu Yiwei poured out some cigarette powder, moved close to Yuzhi Xu's nose, and let him inhale.Yuzhi Xu coughed again and again, barely waking up.

Seeing that he didn't answer, the girl paced forward, but seeing bloodstains around Yu Yiwei's ear, she exclaimed, "What's wrong with your ear?"

"Huh? Ah..." Yu Yiwei seemed to wake up from a dream, he didn't hear Yu Bingzi's voice just now, and scratched his head in embarrassment. "I ignited black fire powder in the cave before, and my ears were not tightly plugged with cloth. The otoscope may be broken."

He was secretly resentful in his heart, he ignited the black fire powder, and wanted to use this to blow up the mountain post, but he didn't want the heavens to be unkind, and unexpectedly sent him a shower and extinguished the fire.

Yu Bingzi's eyes flickered slightly, she knelt down and approached him, and asked, "I was just asking you, who are you?"

Yu Yi didn't meet her eyes, but felt her heart beating wildly, like a deer bumping.He was silent for a moment and said:

"...I am the Houtianlou Assassin, Huo Shiqi."

"You're... lying to me again." Suddenly, the girl said so.Yu Yiwei's heart was shocked, and he looked at her in astonishment, only to hear Yu Bingzi's voice trembling, and a look of ready to cry appeared on his face. "You've been lying to me. You're not telling the truth, are you? You always look away when you lie. You've never told me the truth."

Yu Yi was not intimidated by her appearance.

"Why don't you tell me the truth? Why do you always come to take care of me? You have been secretly guarding me all the way here, right? Since you are the assassin of Houtianlou, why did you save the disciples of Tianshanmen? What do I have pictured on me?"

The little junior sister asked questions like a cannonball, her eyes were red and she was about to shed tears.

Yu Yi didn't lower his head and didn't answer.After a while, he stood up and opened the window slightly.It was pouring rain outside, and the voices of people were faint.

"Nothing," he said, "it's just . . . uneasy."

After a moment of silence, Yu Bingzi suddenly turned his face away, immersing his brows and eyes in the shadows.She said softly: "I'll bring you some medicine. Your otoscope is broken and your leg is hurt again."

On a normal day, Yu Yiwei would definitely be greatly moved, wishing to have some more intimacy with his junior sister.But now that the situation is urgent, he can't allow him to think too much.Yu Yiwei nodded and said: "I'll go out first, and I'll be back in a while."

Before he finished speaking, he picked up the poker from the brazier and jumped out of the window.

The cold rain drenched Yu Yiwei's body, he breathed deeply in the damp wind, and patted his face with the palm of his hand through the cotton cloth to cheer himself up.He remembered that there was also a tunnel entrance nearby, which was covered by rotten wood and luxuriant leaves, but they couldn't slip through the tunnel, because there was a section of collapse in the middle, and they could only pass through the fire line, but not people.He took back a few packets of black fire powder from the tunnel, held them in his hands, covered them with a tung tarpaulin, and limped back to the posthouse.

The human voice is getting closer and closer, like a mess of flies.Yu Yiwei hastily spread a layer of cotton cloth on the cart, tied it with hemp rope a few times, and fixed the bag of black fire powder under the cart, so as to prevent the black fire powder from getting wet.Once something happens, he will abandon the car and run away, using the cart as the last explosive.

After finishing everything, he shouted to Yu Bingzi:

"go!"

"Where are you going?" Yu Bingzi just watched him move, but now he looked anxious and asked hurriedly.

"I'll take you..." Yu Yiwei paused, his eyes were firm, and he said firmly, "Leave Houtianlou."

-

The torrential rain poured down like a flood, swaying in the desolate wind.The bean-sized water droplets splashed on the jagged rocks and blossomed, and when they hit the body, they felt faint pain.The flames in the distance were dim and dim, gradually being obliterated by the night, but the sound of shouting and killing rose wave after wave.

The two rushed across the mountains, Yu Yiwei pulled the cart and fled in a hurry dragging his injured leg.Yu Bingzi was also panting and running beside him.In order to facilitate her escape, she tore off a large piece of the gauze skirt, revealing two lotus-white legs, which were wet by the rain and seemed to look shiny.

But at this time, Yu Yiwei could not have appreciated the charming thoughts of the younger junior sister.Yuzhi gasped for breath, and showed them the way in the confusion.They fled all the way to the edge of the tunnel, standing still in the dark night.

"Huh, huh... how should we go next?" Yu Bingzi panted slightly, put his hands on his knees, and looked at the two of them with inquiring eyes.

She believed in Yu Yiwei, this ugly and frightening Houtianlou assassin who kept saying that he would save him.She also frequently asked Yu Zhixu on the way, wanting to know which Tianshanmen disciple he was, but Yu Zhixu woke up from time to time, and kept silent about his name except to prove his identity with her. do not mention.

Yuzhi Xu stood up reluctantly, stretched out a mutilated hand from under the tung oil cloth, and pointed his finger at the depths of the dark night, "Go out from here. There is a...slope here."

This path has indeed bypassed the eyes and ears of the assassins, since just now they have never seen any assassins blocking them along the way.They were at a high place, where perhaps the Shanren started mining, and there was still a black, half-collapsed silver hole left.He finally knew why the underground tunnel came about. The tunnel might not have been built by Houtianlou, but the well used by the villagers to collect copper and silver caves.

But Yu Yi didn't drag the cart for a few steps, looked in the direction Yu Zhixu said, but stopped suddenly.

There is a cold and dark darkness in front of my eyes, I can't see the shadows of the trees clearly, as if they are all dissolved in the swamp of the night.The cold wind blew softly, whining and lingering in front of them.

The cold rain drenched his heart, Yu Yiwei looked around hastily.He moved his feet, only to hear the sound of loose sand on the bottom of his shoes.

The earth slope was washed by the heavy rain and collapsed. The upper part is relatively gentle, while the lower part is very steep and difficult for pedestrians.If you go down from here, you will fall disabled if you don't die.

Yu Bingzi exclaimed in surprise, "There... is no way!"
