Traveling through the starry sky just for you, I was a koi in ancient times

When they looked back, they saw the masked man staggering after them. Ouyang Wenche and Chuyi looked at each other and stood in the middle of the road.

Chuyi stood in front of Ouyang Wenche without moving. The masked man fell to the ground with a bang when he was only two steps away from the two of them, and never got up again.

Chuyi dragged Ouyang Wenche and continued running towards the city. Slowly, pedestrians appeared at each intersection.

The donkey driver was trying to attract passengers. Porters passed by from time to time, as well as some merchants, peddlers, and pedestrians, all in a hurry.

Ouyang Wenche and his partner boarded a donkey cart. The sight of people on the road gradually eased their minds. So they chatted with the people on the cart and bought a set of patched linen short-sleeved brown clothes.

The donkey cart was running on the road leading into Xunyang City.

Suddenly, a strange man on the side of the road aroused the two men's vigilance.

I saw a man wearing a bamboo hat sitting next to an empty load on the roadside. The man was wearing a big bamboo hat that covered his entire face and most of his upper body.

The load was placed at his side, and there was nothing in the two empty bamboo baskets.

Chuyi pulled Ouyang Wenche's sleeve and gestured with his chin. Ouyang Wenche nodded slightly. In fact, Ouyang Wenche also noticed this person.

This person was extremely different; he seemed to be waiting for someone and was not in a hurry to move on.

Ouyang Wenche drew his dagger and held it in both hands.

At this time, the man wearing a bamboo hat stood up and blocked the donkey cart.

: "Get out! All the irrelevant people, get out."

The driver didn't know whether he was frightened or just didn't react at the moment, so he didn't move. The people in the car were unreasonably stopped and they all complained.

: "Who are you? Don't block the road, get out of the way!"

: "Get out of the way, go, go."

: "Hey, who is this young man? How rude of you."

: "Make way, we are in a hurry..."

The man in the bamboo hat pulled out a long sword from under the shoulder pole beside him and pointed it directly at the people in the carriage.

The driver whipped his whip slightly, and the man in the bamboo hat seemed to have eyes behind him. The long sword flipped in his hand, and the driver fell silently on the frame.

Everyone in the car screamed and abandoned the car to flee. Chuyi pulled Ouyang Wenche and followed the crowd, running down the slope by the side of the road. The people behind them fell one after another in the silent sword wind.

The first day of the new year shouted:

"Come on..."

Chuyi stood still without moving. Ouyang Wenche turned around and saw this scene and also stood still, staring at the man in the bamboo hat.

The man in the bamboo hat was a little surprised by the reaction of the master and servant, but he chased them faster and swung his sword directly at the two of them.

Chuyi used a dagger to block, and Ouyang Wenche threw the dagger's sheath out, trying to distract the man in the bamboo hat but to no avail.

Chuyi was becoming increasingly overwhelmed, and the man in the bamboo hat kept hitting his vital points with his sword. Seeing this, Ouyang Wenche joined the fight directly, but the two were clearly no match for the man in the bamboo hat. After only a few rounds, the two could only defend themselves.

The man in the bamboo hat swung his sword in a feint, and the tip of the sword passed in front of Chuyi and went straight to Ouyang Wenche. Ouyang dodged backwards and fell, rolling down the slope.

Chuyi turned his head and was distracted for a moment, and the man in the bamboo hat swung his sword from above with inertia. Chuyi quickly dodged, and the sword pierced his chest.

Chuyi's dagger followed the long sword and stabbed towards the man in the bamboo hat. The man in the bamboo hat raised his leg and kicked Chuyi to the ground. Blood gushed out and Chuyi staggered and fell.

Ouyang Wenche climbed up from the bottom of the slope and saw this moment.

At this moment, Ouyang felt no wavering in his heart. Since that was the case, let's fight to the death together!

The man in the bamboo hat pulled it down and threw it aside, then strode up the slope.

What surprised the assassins was that the young man who had experienced the robbery did not get startled, did not scream, cry or shout, but faced it in silence and did not even flee.

Ouyang Wenche was clearly aware that death was approaching him step by step.

The man in the bamboo hat strode forward while pulling out a short blade from his back and flew towards Ouyang Wenche. Ouyang Wenche did not dodge but slightly turned sideways. The short blade of the man in the bamboo hat pierced straight into Ouyang Wenche's left shoulder. At the same time, Ouyang Wenche thrust the dagger in his hand into the man's abdomen.

The two of them groaned almost at the same time and took a few steps back.

The man in the bamboo hat was surprised that Ouyang Wenche had such a move, but soon he pulled out the dagger from his body and stabbed Ouyang Wenche again...

At this moment, something seemed to roll down the hillside and knocked the man in the bamboo hat to the ground.

Ouyang Wenche saw clearly that it was Chuyi. He tried to stand up and knock down the man in the bamboo hat, but was pinned down by the man.

Ouyang Wenche pounced forward and tried several times to snatch the dagger from the man in the bamboo hat, but he was powerless and was kicked over by the man every time.

At this time, Chuyi, who was pressed under the man in the bamboo hat, tightly hugged the man's right arm holding the dagger.

Chuyi could no longer make a sound, and could only stare at Ouyang Wenche. Ouyang Wenche ran over again, jumped up and held the dagger to change its direction, and then used the inertia of his body to stab the sharp blade into the chest of the man in the bamboo hat.

Ouyang Wenche looked at the struggling man in the bamboo hat, pushed him over and helped Chuyi up. Chuyi had a mouth full of blood. He just looked at Ouyang Wenche deeply and glanced at the right sleeve of his robe.

Ouyang Wenche nodded, without crying or tears! He just wanted to know why! Why did someone insist on killing himself?!

Suddenly Chuyi turned over and pressed Ouyang Wenche under him. A shadow stood above his head. Ouyang Wenche woke up instantly and rolled down the slope.

The killer wearing a bamboo hat actually rushed forward with a dagger in his hand. Ouyang Wen Ce retreated while stretching out his hands. He pulled out the short blade from his left arm with all his strength and threw it towards the man in the bamboo hat.

The man in the bamboo hat dodged slightly when he saw the sharp blade flying towards him, and his legs became unstable and he fell to the ground.

Ouyang Wen Ce took two quick steps, watched Chu Yi finally reach out and pull out the long sword from Chu Yi's body, then turned around and stabbed the man in the bamboo hat who was chasing him in the chest with the sword.

The man in the bamboo hat was holding up his dagger, but due to the difference in the length of his weapon, he suffered a great loss this time. Ouyang Wen Ce raised his leg and kicked the man over, then lowered his head to pick up the dagger that had fallen to the ground, and walked quickly towards the man in the bamboo hat who was struggling to get up...

This was the first time Ouyang Wenche saw blood, and also the first time in his life that he faced a life-and-death battle.

Looking at the man in the bamboo hat with his head and body separated, Ouyang Wen Ce collapsed to the ground and remained silent for a long time.

Afterwards, he sat beside Chuyi's body and began to bandage his own wounds.

His coat was covered in blood, and there were dead bodies lying all over the grass beside him.

Ouyang Wenche began to rummage through the linen short jacket he had just bought. After changing into the clothes, blood seeped through them. He picked up the soil beside him and applied it on the short jacket.

After that, he wiped the blood off his dagger, sheathed it again and put it back in his boot. Then he found his long sword and short blade, wiped the blood off them, and slowly climbed up the slope.

On the official road, apart from the stationary donkey carts, there was only overturned debris on the ground.

On the donkey cart frame, there was a large pool of blood in front of the driver who fell down...

Scattered loads, vegetables, goods... were scattered all over the official road.

Ouyang Wenche found the empty shoulder pole of the man in the bamboo hat, sheathed his long sword with one hand, hid the short blade at his waist, picked up a bamboo hat on the side of the road, and put it on his head.

The man in the bamboo hat picked up the load and walked towards Xunyang City swayingly.
