Hypocrites

Returning to the boat, within a short while, a torrential rain came.There was a sudden darkness between the sky and the earth, and the heavy rain hit the boat canopy and the river surface, like the hooves of a marching horse, which made people anxious for a while.

The undulating mountains on both sides of the river, in this dark night where you can't see your fingers, are about to overturn, oppressing the river.Facing the dangerous waves, the passenger ship sailed with difficulty and shook extremely violently, which made Liang Heng feel very uncomfortable again.

The rain crackled and fell on the deck like knives. The two were unable to go out and were trapped in the small cabin.Shen Yu originally wanted to go to Chuanniang for a bowl of licorice soup, but there was no result.

"Is it okay to sail under such heavy rain?" Liang Heng asked.

Shen Yudao: "There is no place to stop until we reach the next pier, so we should trust the experience of the boatman. Leaving Qifeng Mountain, even if we have left the boundary of Shixing, we are closer to Tianmen Town, and we can arrive there in about three or four days. "

The world was spinning, and it was hard to even light the candle lamp, for fear that it would shake off and cause a fire.

The two lay in the dark, Liang Heng leaned on Shen Yu's arms, wrapping around his thin waist.He felt that Shen Yu sometimes had a protective desire for him, as if wishing to make him smaller and carry him in the palm of his hand, always with him.

After sitting for a while, Shen Yu leaned into his ear and asked, "What's the sound?"

Liang Heng couldn't hear anything, only the sound of rain.

"what?"

Shen Yu raised his finger and leaned against his lips to stop talking.

Thunder and lightning suddenly struck, and among the roaring voices, only the heavens and the earth were raging, besides——

The gust of wind suddenly broke through the window lattice, sawdust splashed, and a black shadow flew into the cabin.Liang Heng was startled, but before he could react, Shen Yu had already pulled out the Erxie sword from under his pillow, and flew in front of him, the two sword shadows staggered and shot out lightning. "Don't come down!" Shen Yu shouted.

In the darkness, there was only the sound of ping-pong, objects flying around, a clear sound of a sharp knife piercing into flesh, and then a person flew out and fell on the table, causing the wooden case to collapse instantly.

Liang Heng huddled on the couch, praying in his heart.Lightning pierced the sky outside the window, Shen Yu's standing figure was reflected, and a man in black fell down among the broken wood.

The long front of the Erxie sword was stained with blood, and after the bright light passed, it was impossible to see clearly, only the smell that was spreading continuously.Shen Yu knelt beside the black-clothed corpse, checking something, Liang Heng moved to his side with trembling hands and feet, and saw him take out a copper coin from the black-clothed mouth.

"With five thousand soldiers at night, killing people like grass without hearing a sound. Where did the assassin come from..."

Liang Heng wanted to say something, but when he opened his mouth, his teeth were trembling. Suddenly, a chill crept up his spine. Shen Yu moved faster, and sealed the broken window with a sword, leaving behind a sentence of "Stay inside!", before turning over. Fly to the roof.

The continuous sound of rain on the roof was mixed with messy footsteps.

Liang Heng panted heavily. He was not afraid of the dead in the house, but the living on the roof.He threw himself at the broken window, and there was heavy rain pouring outside. There was a puddle of water on the boat, which occasionally reflected the roof, and was divided and shattered by thousands of raindrops.

A bolt of lightning flashed on the blade.Liang Heng knew that it was Shen Yu's sword, only his sword gathered light, and when it was swung, it left afterimages, and when the blades were handed over, there was a crisp sound of gold and stone.The killing intent melted into the rainwater and seeped into the room.

The people in the boat were startled, and only heard a stern shout, probably Zou Fang—"There's a killer!"

Suddenly there were screams.

The roof was about to collapse while he was running, Liang Heng's legs were already weak, and he was holding on to the window edge, but he didn't feel it when the wood dregs pierced his palm, and then he saw bright red threads mixed into the accumulated rain, intricately intertwined into a pool of blood.

Shen Yu jumped off the deck and turned into the window, his body wrapped in thick blood.Trembling, Liang Heng touched the bleeding wound on his side neck, but Shen Yu stopped him.

"Get out of here first!"

Zou Fang broke through the door and first smelled the smell of blood. After being shocked, he saw that Liang Heng was safe and sound.

"There are assassins! There are about ten people, and Bi Wei has already led people to meet them! I don't know if they came from a boat on Qifeng Mountain or from diving."

"This kind of weather can't be diving," Shen Yu said with a gloomy expression, "Our itinerary has been exposed. There was a sign when we were in Rongcheng!"

The dark night is the best cover for stealth. The assassin is as light as a leopard, covering and killing from left and right. Zou Fang and Bi Wei lead the guards to protect Liang Heng in the center.

His estimation was wrong, there were more than ten assassins.Kill ten and there will be ten more, and his skill is also comparable to that of Taiwei.

"I swear to protect the master to the death!" Zou Fang's voice was filled with anger, and he was also injured, almost half of his arm was cut with a knife.

Someone shouted: "The string of the boat is broken!"

The deck suddenly tilted violently.

Liang Heng said: "Wait! Don't..."

Zou Fang held his sword and turned half of his face: "Master, do you still remember the grasshopper I gave you?"

Liang Heng: "..."

Zou Fang seemed to smile: "You have to remember it, I am willing to die for you! Master, take the master away!"

With a roar, he led six Taiwan guards and rushed towards the assassin. In the strong wind and rain, the lonely boat was like a piece of duckweed, being torn apart by the waves.Shen Yu tightly grasped the unsheathed Erxie sword, and amidst Liang Heng's mournful cry, he hugged him by the waist and jumped into the bottomless Fuyang River.

Instant glacier empowerment.The feeling of suffocation came in a blink of an eye, like a reappearance of a nightmare.

Liang Heng was caught off guard, his lungs almost emptied in one breath, and cold water was poured into his ears and nose. The freezing temperature made his brain tremble, and he was soberly greeted with fear.The Fuyang River was as dark as a tomb, and he seemed to hear his father calling him under the nine springs.

Someone wrapped his arms around his waist, and he breathed over in one breath, his lips were warm and soft.

Shen Yu put his hands under his armpit, wrapped them around his chest, and supported him to swim to the shore.The underwater undercurrent surged, forming countless floating eddies, and suddenly a string of blood beads spurted out from Shen Yu's waist.

There are assassins underwater!

Shen Yu pushed Liang Heng out, and he was wrapped in the ink-like river water and sank down. A man in black bit the dagger between his teeth and pulled his foot.A few men in black dived from the upper reaches, and swam towards Liang Heng. Liang Heng didn't know how to swim at all, and he used all four limbs at the moment, but he only swirled in countless water eddies.

The man in black set up his crossbow and pointed it at him.

Liang Heng's eyes widened.

"My son."

"Everyone is mortal."

While hanging the silk, suddenly a shadow came from the water, blocking him, and the water immediately spread a dark red.The man actually had a crossbow in his hand, and he shot two of them without looking at them, threatening Liang Heng to float to the surface.

The heavy rain hit the surface of the water like a flowing arrow. The man led Liang Heng to swim to the shore with arrows in the rain, and climbed up the mire with the reed stalks.

The reeds on all sides were higher than human eyes, Liang Heng knelt in the mud and coughed water, vomiting until his stomach was wiped out, the man shook twice and fainted in front of his eyes.

Liang Heng thought he was some station guard, turned him over, brushed away his wet hair.Lightning illuminates his face—

"You...!" Liang Heng almost rolled his eyes and fell into a convulsion.

Duan Yanling, the Marquis of Zuodu, who was supposed to be in Yangshi Hall of Zhangyi Palace and dealt with the three eunuchs for him, was right in front of his eyes.

The blood was still flowing, and Duan Yanling's face became paler and paler.

You can't stay here, the assassin in the water may come after you at any time.However, being driven by the turbulent flow of the river, the passenger ship was no longer visible. The reeds on the bank were deep, the mountains were high and the forest was dark, so I didn't know where I was.

Liang Heng supported Duan Yanling's arm, and he was dead when soaked in water. Duan Yanling pressed on Liang Heng's shoulder, almost making half of his foot sink into the wet ground.Liang Heng gritted his teeth and dragged him into the depths of the reeds, not daring to turn back, so he had to go to the mountains.

The rain is still falling, entering the deep forest, the momentum has restrained.Liang Heng was drenched all over, half was rain, half was Duan Yanling's blood, and Duan Yanling's body gradually became cold to the point of danger.

Liang Heng could only hear his own heartbeat. In the forest on a rainy night, the smell of blood attracted something, lurking in all directions, and the grass swayed with the wind and rain.

I walked all the way and couldn't see a single family.

When we reached a mountain top, the rain stopped, the dark clouds dissipated, and the brilliance of the stars and the moon fell on the steps of a ruined temple.Liang Heng dragged Duan Yanling into the temple, trying to find a place to rest temporarily.

There are probably people who have entered the mountain resting in the temple, the corners are full of hay, and there are a few fires ashes.Liang Heng asked Duan Yanling to lie on the straw mat. An arrow hit him in the abdomen, and the cluster of arrows had completely sunk in. Liang Heng was helpless, and there was no doctor in the deep mountains and old forests.

"By the way, make a fire, you can make a fire!"

In a hurry, he picked up some dry firewood left by the traveler, and suddenly thought, what if the fire attracts an assassin?

Duan Yanling groaned and woke up faintly.

Liang Heng walked over nervously, but Duan Yanling's pupils were still dizzy, unable to get to the bottom of things, like those who are about to cross the Santu River, what they see is not a human scene.It took a long time for him to see Liang Heng, and he said angrily, "You are not injured..."

Liang Heng burst into tears.Duan Yanling raised one hand to touch the abdominal wound, Liang Heng held him back: "Don't move! The blood, the blood won't stop! What should I do, what should I do? Where can I find a doctor? Why did you appear here? ?!"

Duan Yanling said: "You... light a fire... it's freezing me to death..."

"What if you attract an assassin?"

"It doesn't matter...it can...attract assassins...Shen Yu followed suit."

Shen Yu...Shen Yu was still in the Fuyang River, not knowing whether he was alive or dead, and Zou Fang and those station guards had disappeared.Liang Heng suddenly felt absurd, and never thought that things would develop like this.He thought that no one in this world wanted his life. Although many people wanted to use him, they all wanted to live and not die.

"Don't worry," Duan Yanling was almost at a loss for words, "Shen Yuming was very... back then...in Ruyang..."

They all survived in Ruyang back then.

Liang Heng piled dry firewood, and said, "I don't even know how to light a fire."

Duan Yanling motioned him to touch the things hidden in his chest, and he took out a package of oiled paper, and opened it to find dry flint, a bronze medal, and a dagger.

Liang Heng ignited the pyre with flint, and the air leaked from all sides of the ruined temple, finally warming up.The flames drove away the damp and cold air from the two of them, shining brightly in all directions.

Duan Yanling touched the arrow again, but Liang Heng didn't have time to stop him: "Don't touch it!"

He was very neat, he snapped off the shaft of the arrow, leaving only a short pointed arrowhead in the flesh, and ordered Liang Heng to tear off his coat, and tied up several hemostasis.Lying in the dry grass, his cheeks were dyed red by the firelight, as if he was returning to the light, and he was a little more energetic.
