A special forces soldier traveled through time and space to become a genius of literature and martia
Chapter 18: Assassination in the Jungle
Zeng Zhouquan watched Yuan Ying leave. He was resourceful and chivalrous. It was a great honor to make friends with such a man. The driver smiled with more wrinkles on his face, holding twenty taels of reward silver in his arms. He secretly glanced at Yuan Ying a few times and drove the car even harder.
Twenty taels of silver is something that an ordinary person cannot earn in two years. Yuan Ying stared at the county government that was getting farther and farther away. Such a small county government was built so magnificently. With red walls and green tiles, carved railings and jade bricks, in terms of style and luxury, it was no worse than the imperial palace seen on TV.
But most of the people around were ragged, hungry, and lived in thatched houses. But this dog county magistrate was potbellied, fat, and had big ears. Such a sharp contrast made Yuan Ying shudder.
A small county magistrate could do this, she could already imagine what the Xia Kingdom was like now. Complaints were everywhere, and there was grief everywhere.
The more luxurious the officials above them are, the harder the lives of the people below them are. It's a pity that she is not a real fourth-rank official, otherwise she would really like to kill him on the spot. She hates these parasites of the people the most in her life!
The sun was high at noon, and there were few cars on the road. The thin branches of the weeping willows on the roadside were gently swaying in the wind mixed with the heat wave, and the originally green leaves were wilted and curled up. After half a day's journey, we should be able to reach Yunfu City before nightfall today.
The driver said to Yuan Ying, "Sir, let's take a break under the shade of the tree in front and eat some dry food, and let the horses rest." Yuan Ying did not object. The driver tied the carriage under the tree and sat under the shade to rest. Yuan Ying got off the carriage and sat under the shade of the tree next to him, stroking Brother Ying and enjoying the natural breeze.
Although summers in ancient times were hot, they were not as hot and muggy as they are today. At least if you sit in the shade, you will feel cool immediately. Nowadays, even if you sit in the shade, it is useless because the wind blowing in is hot. "
"Swoosh..." A sharp arrow shot towards Yuan Ying, and she dodged it. She threw Brother Ying to the ground and shouted, "Brother Ying, get into the woods."
"Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh..." Then several sharp arrows flew towards them. The horse let out a mournful cry, broke free from the reins and ran towards the woods.
Yuan Ying quickly carried the terrified driver into the woods. Several men in black immediately chased after him and attacked him with swords. Yuan Ying hid under a big tree and said to the driver, "Don't move here."
Then he rolled and dodged into the bushes. Several men in black followed closely behind him. Yuan Ying swept his leg and knocked down a black man. Then he kicked the long knife in the hand of another black man with his left foot with a sharp force.
With his right hand as fast as lightning, he clamped the wrist of the man in black, pulled his wrist and swung it back, using the long sword in the hand of the man in black to block the long knife of another man in black. With his other hand, he pulled out a dagger and stabbed it into the chest of one of them. Seeing this, several men in black did not dare to move forward rashly, and they immediately formed a circle to surround him.
One of them, the one-eyed dragon, looked at Yuan Ying and asked, "Where is Song Shuyan?"
Ten thousand horses were galloping through her heart: "I don't know Song Shuyan, you have the wrong person."
The one-eyed man in black pointed at the sealed eye and said, "Did you recognize the wrong person? I won't recognize you even if you turn into ash." After that, several long swords flashing with cold light stabbed at Yuan Ying like spirit snakes. Yuan Ying raised his foot and kicked away the black-clothed man holding the sword, snatching the long sword from his hand.
She stood opposite several men in black, and they exchanged twenty or thirty moves in just a few moments. In the dense woods, no one could see clearly how they fought. They only saw a group of men in black fighting with Yuan Ying, and then they jumped apart.
Only Yuan Ying knew how thrilling it was. Long swords were not her strong point. Her sword-holding hand could not help but tremble. A stream of blood flowed from her arm, down her wrist to the hilt, and then along the sword body, dripping to the ground. Yuan Ying did not dare to fight, and struck at a weak spot with her sword. When she drew back her sword, it brought up a burst of blood.
Then he ran towards the forest like an arrow from a bow, with his feet full of energy. The men in black behind him were like leeches attached to his bones, impossible to shake off.
The other side has more people, so now we can only outwit them instead of attacking them by force. Just as she was thinking, there was a sound of breaking through the air behind her. It was a hidden weapon! She was slightly startled and quickly determined the direction of the hidden weapon. She dodged it with a flash of her body, but this delay allowed the figure of the man in black to get closer.
Yuan Ying quickly changed his position. The group of people chased each other in the dense forest, hiding and searching, and the pursuit turned into guerrilla warfare. The man in black was speechless. He had never seen such a shameless way of fighting.
The one-eyed man in black threw two more hidden arrows in anger. Yuan Ying adjusted his body shape, held the sword straight in front of him, and blocked the hidden weapons with one thrust and one push.
Taking advantage of this gap, Yuan Ying dodged and hid in the bushes, took out the remaining half bottle of soft muscle powder, and quickly took a detoxification tablet.
She came to the back of a big tree and said to the man in black: "You are a bunch of men, but you beat me. It is not fair for you to outnumber the minority. Let me make a deal with you."
The one-eyed man in black said, "The dead are not worthy of negotiating terms." After saying that, he prepared to move forward with his sword.
Yuan Ying hurriedly said, "Song Shuyan, don't you want to know?" The man in the dark really stopped and said, "You'd better be sensible and don't try to be cunning."
Yuan Ying threw away the arrow in his hand and walked out from behind the tree and said, "You should finally believe me now."
Yuan Ying looked at the people in front of him, wondering at what angle he could use the poison to knock them all down.
Suddenly, there was a chirping sound overhead, and more than a dozen eagles appeared in the sky, forming a black mass. All the men in black cast vigilant eyes on the eagles. They had experienced the power of eagles before, so they did not dare to take it lightly.
Yuan Ying generously sprinkled the half bottle of muscle softening powder on the black-clothed man. The quick-reacting man held his breath, but it was too late. One-Eye supported himself with the sword and pointed at Yuan Ying, saying, "You despicable villain."
Yuan Ying didn't waste time talking to him, and took out his sword and stepped forward to finish him off, so as to avoid endless trouble. The one who was farther away was not completely in the middle of the medicine, and in an instant the sword flew towards Yuan Ying. She leaned back to avoid the attack.
Suddenly, a group of eagles swooped down and flew towards the man in black, and the man's long sword swung and missed. Yuan Ying ran towards the jungle like the wind, and the numbness in her arm was better than before. She had put a lot of effort into practicing the skill of escaping.
But she was still far behind the ancients who had Qinggong. Soon, three men in black caught up with her. Seeing this, Yuan Ying raised her knife to fight back. From childhood to adulthood, she could bleed and get hurt, but she would never retreat.
Her right arm was still numb from the pain, but as long as she could move a little, she would have the ability to resist. The three men in black flashed and came to her in the blink of an eye across a distance of ten feet, while the long swords in their hands drew a beautiful arc.
Yuan Ying's daggers collided with each other, and in an instant, the sword and the knife emitted a dazzling light, and the two men separated immediately after touching each other. Xiong Ying's heart sank unconsciously, these men in black were all masters. It seemed that they were going to bite her to death today.
She took advantage of the momentum and leaped away. The moment she landed, she bent her legs and pushed against the ground, using the momentum again to attack the man in black. She kept her eyes on him, and saw that the moment she used the momentum, the man in black also jumped up from the ground and attacked her.
Close combat was her strong point, but now her arm was injured and her movements were much slower. In addition, the black-clothed men had strong internal strength and flexible swordsmanship, so the two sides were evenly matched. The three of them fought fiercely.
At this time, one of the people on the tree said to the other person: "Master, do you want to help me?"
The tall man glanced at the other person with a cold look in his eyes: "Don't meddle in other people's business." But his eyes stared at the men in black calmly. Suddenly, one of the men in black was about to shoot an arrow. The man on the tree quickly shot a dart at the man in black.
The man in black fell down. He was not a nosy person, but today, for some reason, he couldn't help but take action.
Seeing this, Yuan Ying immediately used all his strength to stab the two men in black, and his moves were fierce and deadly, forcing the two men in black to retreat again and again. The two looked at each other and quickly retreated to both sides.
Yuan Ying was injured and did not chase him. It seems that this problem has not been solved yet.
Yuan Ying clasped his fists and said, "Thank you for saving my life." The only response she got was the rustling sound of the wind blowing the leaves.
Yuan Ying left the dense forest quickly. The driver had disappeared. She didn't know what had happened to Brother Ying and the others. She whistled, but she didn't see Brother Ying for a long time.
Her heart couldn't help but writhe in agony. If Brother Ying met with an accident while saving her, she would feel guilty for the rest of her life.
She whistled again and again. No response...
Ten minutes passed, and there was no movement in the Sky Jungle. Twenty minutes passed, and there was still no movement. She couldn't wait any longer and decided to go to the forest to look for Brother Eagle and the others...
Yuan Ying ran towards the forest for dozens of meters, and suddenly a familiar figure flew over from the sky. It was Brother Ying. She was refreshed, and regardless of the wound on her arm, she reached out to Brother Ying, and Brother Ying landed steadily on her arm.
Yuan Ying held Brother Ying in his arms and looked him over carefully. He found that he was not injured. His heart was finally at ease.
