[-]. Dagger present

On November 21st, the first snowfall came, and the moon and stars were scarce.

Outside Nanhe Village, a group of people was walking through the forest.Their horseshoes are wrapped in thick flannel, even if they step on the snow, they will not make a sound. Although there are dozens of people in the team, they don't even disturb the sleeping birds on the branches, and they approach the sleeping bird in front of them soundlessly. village.

Li Hanzhou in light armor and Chu Yangqiu rode side by side, "saying" something with hand gestures from time to time.This sign language was learned by Li Hanzhou and Chu Yangqiu. At first, when he saw the two brothers of the Chu family alone, sometimes they would subconsciously talk in sign language.He found it interesting, so he learned some of it, but later he found it very practical, especially when he couldn't make a sound, it was very convenient to communicate.

The front is the abandoned house where Pei Taiyue and Chu Loufeng temporarily lived, which they found a few days ago.The walls of the small courtyard have all collapsed, but the random piles of rubble and sundries are piled up very high, and a tall red plum is planted inside, and the faint fragrance spreads into the nostrils.

There was a light on in the room, and there was a vaguely long-haired figure in black clothes sitting by the window, but he couldn't see clearly through the window paper.Chu Yangqiu took a very short breath, and ordered the disciples of the Haoqi League behind him to surround the room, and was about to gallop forward.

—Wait a minute.

Li Hanzhou spoke silently, reaching out his hand to stop him, you stay here, I will go.

After all, without waiting for Chu Yangqiu's reaction, he immediately got off his horse, jumped lightly into the courtyard, flicked his fingers lightly, and then struck the window with vigor.The figure in black clothes raised his head when he heard the sound, but remained motionless.Li Hanzhou frowned slightly, hooked the gun barrel behind his back with his right hand, and took two steps forward.

At this moment, the sudden change occurred!

There was a loud "boom!", and the gunpowder in the courtyard was detonated by someone, blasting golden-red flames in the night sky.The calm appearance was torn apart in an instant, and the Haoqi disciples who had no time to dodge were killed and injured, and half of their hands were lost in an instant.However, at the moment of the explosion, Li Hanzhou shrank under the horse's belly, and instead of retreating, he rushed towards the lighted window!

The Evilman Valley disciples who were ambushing in various places in Nanhe Village no longer hid their bodies at this time, and rushed forward brandishing their weapons, and instantly surrounded everyone—this was clearly a trap that had been designed long ago, and the hunter who had turned into a trap As prey, it is really a mantis catching a cicada, with a oriole behind!

The entire small courtyard was basically razed to the ground at this time, and even most of the houses in the middle collapsed.Seeing that the remaining half of the wall was about to collapse, Li Hanzhou swung his gun and swept across without thinking, pushing the falling stones out forcefully.

"Loufeng, let's go!"

He shouted in a low voice, blocking the falling beams with his arms.But I never thought that the old window lattices were shattered, and an extremely cold breath came oncoming!

Li Hanzhou rushed backwards, but it was too late, and was pierced into the lower abdomen by a blade.However, he just frowned slightly, and didn't even change the expression on his face, so he stabbed straight with the spear, repelled the opponent's attack, and withdrew towards the courtyard gate.

There was a hand behind him supporting him, the knuckles were slender and strong, without any trembling.Dark green light surrounded the whole body, and the warm feeling gradually calmed down the pain.Without any words or communication, Chu Yangqiu stepped forward to stand side by side with him, writing a pen and standing awe-inspiring.

Amidst the choking smoke and the blazing fire, someone walked out of the fire scene step by step.

He untied his bun, and there was a long white satin three fingers wide in front of his eyes. He was dressed in black clothes of a disciple of Ten Thousand Flowers, and the long sword in his hand was as cold as water.

"Pei Taiyue."

Li Hanzhou spoke in a low voice.

He originally thought that the other party was using Chu Loufeng as a bait, but he never thought that he himself would take such a big risk and sit in the room himself just to lure them into the bait.But at a distance of six or seven steps, Li Hanzhou had thousands of thoughts flashing through his mind, but suddenly without any warning, he stabbed the opponent's chest with a gun!

When Pei Taiyue heard the wind, she quickly pulled away and dodged.Unexpectedly, he was just swaying this time, taking advantage of him dodging sideways, he actually supported Chu Yangqiu's waist with his other hand and sent him onto the horse.Then he swiped with a backhand shot, forcing back a few Evilren Valley disciples who came to help, and took advantage of the opportunity to slap the horse's buttocks with the gun!

"Yang Qiu, let's go!"

He shouted loudly, his war horse neighed long, passed over the heads of several people, and rushed back and forth.Li Hanzhou shook the tip of his gun, and the disciples of the Wicked Valley who wanted to chase them out felt a majestic aura under their hoods, which was as overwhelming as a tangible and tangible coercion—that was fighting on the battlefield The killing spirit accumulated over the years, Yuan Ting and Yue Zhi, but sharp as a knife.

"Your opponent is me."

Li Hanzhou looked around and spoke every word.

Chu Yangqiu tried his best to turn around, only to see that the man was surrounded by layers of siege, the man had thrust his gun to the ground, was also looking in his direction, and made a gesture with both hands on his chest.

——Goodbye, Yang Qiu.

That was Li Hanzhou's last smile in his life, arrogant and confident, with a trace of warmth and comfort.It's like Qutang Gorge many years ago. A young general with a silver armor and a long spear, and a bright red robe, rode his horse from the burning chain bridge.

"I didn't expect the Commander to come here in person. It's really disappointing."

There was no sincerity in these words, and Li Hanzhou slightly raised his eyebrows when he heard the words: "Such a grand occasion, Daoist Pei is modest."

"General Li, Ming people don't speak dark words," Pei Taiyue collected his expression, bowed his hands and said, "I have always respected you, if you are willing to enter my valley of wickedness, courtesy will be the first priority."

"I have been galloping on the battlefield for fifteen years, and I have never heard the word 'surrender'—" Li Hanzhou pulled out his spear and laughed loudly, without any trace of fear, "You evil dogs, come to fight!"

There was a carriage parked under a tree not far from this small courtyard. From time to time there was a muffled sound coming from inside, like the sound of something hitting the wall, but it was almost negligible in the chaotic battle situation.

The doors and windows of the carriage were all drawn with curtains, and the four corners were hung with small hooks. The space inside was very spacious, but no lights were lit, only a piece of darkness.

Chu Loufeng curled up in a corner of the carriage, trembling silently.His hands and feet were tied tightly with thick ropes, and he couldn't move. A cloth was stuffed in his mouth, and a piece of cloth was strangled behind his head, so he couldn't make a sound.

This was the most desperate moment of his life.

That man was ambushed and besieged a few feet away from him, he would rather die than surrender, and then he was exhausted after fighting, but he could only stay in the carriage, unable to see, scream, or move, and the only thing left was his keen hearing. Capture every detail of that person's death.

He heard the man's haughty long laugh, the shout when he made a move, and the dull pain of the wounded; there was also the blunt sound of fists and feet hitting the flesh, the clanging of swords and swords, and the sound of wind when the weapon was empty...every day. It sounded like it pierced into his heart.

Chu Loufeng bumped his forehead against the wall of the carriage, trying to make a sound to remind the people outside, but it was in vain.The warm and sweet blood flowed down his cheeks, mixed with the tears, dyeing his originally handsome and beautiful face very frighteningly.

After an unknown amount of time, the sound of fighting outside finally stopped, and he also collapsed from exhaustion, shrinking into a small ball in the shadows.

The car door opened slowly, and someone lifted the curtain and walked in, looking down at him.He didn't know who it was, and he didn't want to care about it at all. What echoed in his mind was the last long howl of that person, and the sound of the armored body falling heavily to the ground.

"... Lou Feng?"

Even if Pei Taiyue couldn't see it, she could still feel the strong pain and despair on the other side.He called out tentatively, but Chu Loufeng didn't respond at all, and could only tremble uncontrollably.

Pei Taiyue groped and knelt down beside him, but felt blood and tears on her hands.With something stuffed in his mouth, Chu Loufeng could only let out one or two extremely low whimpers, which sounded like the wailing of some small animal.Pei Taiyue was stunned for a moment, reached out to untie the cloth strip behind his head, and helped him take out the cloth towel in his mouth.

Chu Loufeng let him move numbly, his lips and tongue were numb, and he no longer felt anything.Pei Taiyue held his face, pressed a kiss on that cold lips, and said, "Don't you want to ask about the situation outside?"

The person who hadn't responded since just now finally trembled, his voice hoarse and trembling, like the last spark of thirst in the eyes of a dying person: "My elder brother, and Li Hanzhou... how are they doing now?"

"Your elder brother escaped." Pei Taiyue wiped the blood and tears on his face with the corner of his sleeve. "After Li Hanzhou killed dozens of enemies, he was outnumbered and died of exhaustion."

Chu Loufeng trembled all over, and suddenly screamed.What a shrill cry it was, as if blood was about to cry from his throat, the despair and mourning was not like a human voice.

Pei Taiyue's heart trembled slightly, and she reached out to hold him in her arms.At that moment, many insignificant things suddenly came to mind - the red tassels that Chu Loufeng regarded as precious, the flash of jealousy in his eyes when he mentioned Chu Yangqiu, the memory when he learned that he was offered a reward. Sad... A thought popped up in an instant, and Pei Taiyue almost blurted out: "Do you like Li Hanzhou?"

Chu Loufeng's body stiffened for a moment, and suddenly he bit his shoulder hard.

It wasn't the coquettish bite between lovers, but the ruthlessness that really wanted to tear a piece of flesh from him.Through the clothes, Pei Taiyue also felt a dull pain in his shoulder.

"never mind……"

He patted the other person's back lightly, unable to explain exactly how he felt in his heart.Chu Loufeng bit it until his mouth was bloody, and he had no more strength. The spirit that had been tense for the past two days finally couldn't support anymore, and he fell into a dark and sweet nightmare.
