Stir up a pool of spring water

The remaining four masked men surrounded Long Xi in an outflanking manner.

With a flick of Long Xi's sleeve, several silver needles flew out from the sleeve and shot towards the masked men.

Her aim was not enough, and her strength was not enough, she only hit one person.But the inside of the silver needle is also poisonous, the person who was hit by the silver needle walked forward a few steps, then fell to the ground and did not move.There are three people left, two of them seem to be relatively strong in martial arts, and the other is a coachman with mediocre skills.

Long Xi's long whip was thrown somewhere, only a few poisonous insects and the weapon used to deliver the poisonous needle were left on his body.She modified it based on the Hundred-Fat Lianbow that she had designed before. It is even smaller, and the weapon has changed from a crossbow to an arrow to a silver needle.

The three masked men also knew that her hidden weapons and poisons were powerful, and they formed a triangle to surround her, narrowing the encirclement step by step.

Long Xi knew that if he hesitated any longer, he would still be caught in the end.

So she waved both hands at the same time.

He held the modified silver needle launcher in one hand, grabbed a bag of powder in the other hand, and threw it towards the person next to him.

The fired silver needle was dodged, but the thrown powder spread in the wind, and the masked man on the other side was unable to dodge and was hit, and fell down after a while.

The other two wanted to rush over quickly to stop Long Xi.

But Long Xi dodged it quickly, and ran desperately towards the river, while running, he turned his head and shot the two pursuers with silver needles, somewhat slowing down their pursuit speed.

Getting closer to the river bank, Long Xi speeded up and jumped into it without hesitation.

The two also jumped into the river and continued their pursuit.

At this moment, Long Xi took out another porcelain bottle from his bosom and opened it, a small water snake got out of the bottle and immediately submerged into the water.After a while, the screams of the two people were heard.

After successfully getting rid of the pursuers, Long Xi went to look for Tang Xinying.

After swimming for a long distance, she saw Tang Xinying lying on the shore with a pale face.Unexpectedly, this little girl who has lived in the palace for a long time has surprisingly good physical strength.This kind of big river is so fast that it is not easy to swim so far.

Seeing Long Xi swimming over, Tang Xinying was overjoyed: "Sister Long Xi, you are here, there are no pursuers behind, right?"

Long Xi also swam up, "I took care of everything."

"That's good, Sister Longxi, you are really amazing, I admire everything you do!"

The two supported each other, and slowly left the river bank and walked into a forest.

But they didn't dare to enter the palace. They didn't know if there were any ferocious beasts. They were two weak girls, and they ran all the way to escape. They really couldn't deal with it.

Luckily, Long Xi carried things such as fire pockets and small knives in his arms. These were all wrapped in oiled paper and put together, and Han Jinli packed them up for her. They were all small things, but they were very practical.

Long Xi sincerely thanked her for having a considerate and considerate husband. These things are not heavy to carry on the body, but they are well prepared. They really come in handy at critical moments.She put these things in her inner garment. When she changed clothes in the temple, she just needed to change a coat, so she didn't take these things down.

After lighting the fire, the two took off their wet clothes to dry. There were no men around, so they were not ashamed.

After drying the clothes and putting them on, the two faced another problem - no food.

The dagger and fire pocket on Long Xi's body were just stuffed in by Han Jinli in fear that something would happen to her.As for dry rations, they are both large in size and heavy in weight, they are usually carried by the imperial guards, but Long Xi really doesn't have any.

What now?

Tang Xinying looked at Long Xi anxiously: "Sister Long Xi, do you know how to hunt?"

Long Xi shook his head helplessly, "My three-legged cat kung fu, not to mention hunting, I guess if I encounter a beast, I will become a prey."

Tang Xinying: "Then we can only think of a solution tomorrow. I still have some biscuits and candied fruit here. Although I'm not very hungry, it's better than nothing."

Long Xi: "I'm usually used to bringing some snacks with me, but they are all prepared for Momo. Today, Momo didn't come, so I didn't bring them. I didn't expect to be hungry."

The two ate the little snacks separately, and then found a big tree to lean against, preparing to spend the night.

At night, they took turns to watch the night, because it was the outskirts of the forest, and there were no large beasts, so they passed the night peacefully.

The next day, the two began to look for their way. After wandering around for a day, they got out of the forest by accident and saw the pipeline.It is estimated that the forest itself is not big, and they were lucky not to be trapped to death in it.

After waiting outside the pipeline for a while, a cart loaded with fruits and vegetables pulled over, driven by an old farmer and a donkey.

The two hurried forward, Long Xi asked: "Is the old man going to the city to sell vegetables and fruits? Can you take us a ride? My sister and I got lost and wandered around here for a long time. If the sun goes down, I'm afraid we will stay in the city." I spent the night in the wilderness, so scared."

Seeing the pitiful look of the two celestial girls, the old farmer felt compassion immediately, and let them get into the car without saying a word.

Fortunately, the cart was not full of fruits and vegetables, and the two women were both slender, so they could barely fit in.

In the car, Tang Xinying asked the old farmer, "Grandpa, what is this place?"

The old farmer enthusiastically took up the topic, "This is a small county, Songwu County, near the sea, and we usually make a living by fishing and raising shrimps. I am old and old, and I can't go out to the sea. I can only grow some fruits and vegetables. , barely making ends meet.”

"Songwu County? But it is under the jurisdiction of Jingang Province?" If you count the journey time, the province closest to Chang'an and near the sea is Jingang Province.

The old farmer nodded, "Yes, our place is close to Chang'an, so it's relatively rich, and the people's lives are stable, and the weather has been good for the past two years, so everyone can get by."

Long Xi: "It's fine as long as you can get by, whoever doesn't live like that, it's rare to be free from disasters and difficulties in ordinary times."

Old farmer: "That's right. It is said that wars were fought everywhere decades ago, and even the emperor changed his surname. Fortunately, our current emperor is more considerate of people's conditions, and the tax is not heavy. He is a good emperor."

"Haha... I didn't expect you, old man, to care about state affairs?" Long Xi asked with a smile: "Then you are near the sea, do foreigners often come and go?"

The old farmer thought for a while, "Gentiles... There seem to be a lot of them, especially recently!"

"Oh? What are the characteristics of those Gentiles?"

"I like to carry a long knife and wear a turban on my head. I can't understand what I'm saying, and I don't know which country they are from. They are generally a little shorter than us, and many of them like to wear mustaches."

Tang Xinying asked Long Xi curiously: "Sister, why are you interested in these foreigners? Could it be these foreigners who kidnapped us?"

Long Xi: "I don't know, I just suspect that, apart from the power of the former prince, there should be no one in my country who would dare to openly oppose us. And I paid attention to the few people who kidnapped us yesterday, although they covered their faces to see I don't know their appearance, but their height is indeed not high. The language they communicated with each other is also not available in our Central Plains. At that time, the situation was too urgent, and I couldn't hear clearly, so I couldn't tell which country they were from."

"Ah, but why do foreigners want to arrest us?" Tang Xinying was puzzled, "I stay in the palace all year round, and I don't have any real power, so I don't deserve to be arrested at all."

Long Xi: "I'm the one who got you in trouble. There's one thing in me that they really want to have."

Tang Xinying: "What is it? How could it attract foreigners? And since this thing is so important, why don't you hand it over to Sister Jinli for safekeeping? She has high martial arts skills, so she should be able to keep it better." ?”

Long Xi smiled wryly: "It's too complicated to talk about, and I can't explain it clearly at the moment. You'd better not ask too much. Just be a happy and carefree princess. This kind of national affairs is left to the officials of the court to have a headache." Bar."

Tang Xinying stuck out her tongue, "I'm just curious, maybe my world is too simple, it's hard to imagine what could make these people so crazy."

"Crazy people may kill for a penny. This has nothing to do with the value of the item itself, but has to do with human nature."

"Sister Longxi said so."

The two spoke in low voices, and the old farmer was deaf, but he didn't hear anything.

After arriving at the county seat, Long Xi took out a small golden bead from his bosom, about the size of the cap of a little finger, which was usually used as a toy for Hong Momo.

Throw it to the old farmer, and said with a smile: "The old man has worked hard, this is a reward, you take it, and find a bank to exchange it for loose silver, so as not to lose this little thing accidentally."

The old farmer saw it, and he said, gold!

Immediately, my hands trembled with fright, I took it tremblingly, and hurriedly thanked: "Miss, this move is too generous, the old man has lived to this age, and he has never seen gold a few times!"

Long Xi smiled, "Your help is very important to me."

After saying goodbye to the old farmer, the two entered the county town, found an inn to stay in, and bought two clothes for a change of clothes.These clothes have been soaked in the river water, so they are not clean for a long time. Before, the conditions did not allow it, but now they have gone to the city. Both of them are beautiful girls, so they must not be able to bear it.

For the sake of safety, the two only called one room, so as to keep an eye on each other, so as not to get caught up again.

In the inn, Long Xi said: "Let's sleep overnight, and tomorrow morning, we will take a carriage back to Chang'an."

Tang Xinying nodded, "Okay, I hope there will be no more twists and turns tonight."

However, many things were not as good as they thought. At night, the men in black attacked again.

One of the two did not know martial arts, and the other had mediocre martial arts. They were no match for these people at all, and immediately suffered wounds on their bodies for a long time.

And this time, the man in black seemed to be aggressive, unlike the previous few times, he only wanted to kidnap Long Xi and had no intention of killing her for the time being.

This time, the man in black was ruthless in his moves, and he wanted to kill her.

A long sword pierced Long Xi's chest, and it went straight into her chest!

Long Xi spat out a mouthful of blood and was on the verge of falling.

Those men in black didn't pay much attention to Tang Xinying, they only pestered Long Xi, wanting to strike again.

Tang Xinying was very anxious, she cried and shouted to Long Xi: "Sister Long Xi, are you okay? You run, anyway, I don't know martial arts, so don't worry about me."

Long Xi shook his head with difficulty, "I can't run away."

Tang Xinying: "What the hell are you carrying with you? Why are these people so ruthless that they even want your life? Why don't you give me that harmful thing and let me hold them back. You run."

Long Xi: "...that... that thing, I gave it to my husband a long time ago, it's not on me at all."

"Ah? It's not on you?" Tang Xinying was dumbfounded, "Didn't we die in vain?"

Long Xi continued intermittently: "You...you run away, those people should know your identity, they dare not kill you, don't stay here and be buried with me. Go to my husband and tell her to keep things safe."

As he spoke, he pushed her and pushed her directly out of the window.

Fortunately, they were on the second floor. Tang Xinying was slightly injured after falling, but it was not too serious.

Long Xi shouted: "Go!"

Tang Xinying glanced at her and left crying.

After the people left, Long Xi couldn't hold on any longer, and he was about to collapse when his eyes went dark.

At this time, a delicate female voice sounded.

"You people in black, it's too much for you to seek wealth and murder in public! Diao Er, go bite them!"

Long Xi could no longer see what happened later. After waking up, he saw a pair of big watery eyes blinking at her.With extremely pure eyes, Long Xiwan seemed to see Hong Momo, and his heart's favor has already increased by ten points.

It was a little girl in a pink skirt with braids on her head and a gourd hanging around her waist. A purple mink was standing on her shoulder, holding a nut in both hands and was gnawing on it.

Seeing that Long Xi woke up, the little girl quickly helped her up gently.

"Beautiful sister, does your wound hurt? I just put medicine on you and bandaged it up. Fortunately, you didn't hurt your heart and lungs, it's just a little bit worse!" The little girl gestured a little bit with her fingers, very cute. "If you hadn't met me, a wonderful doctor, you would have finished playing today."

Long Xi struggled to squeeze out a smile, and said gratefully to her: "Thank you for saving my life, Miss. I don't know how Miss knows that there is an armed fight in my house? It's my luck that she saved me by such a coincidence."

The little girl smiled and said: "I will live in the room next door to you. This time I came out to travel. People in the rivers and lakes should be chivalrous and righteous, helping the strong and the weak. By the way, my nickname is Ziyu Fairy. Sister, you and others When you mention this, remember to say my nickname."

"Okay, Fairy Ziyu, this name sounds really nice, who helped you?"

"I made it myself." The little girl was proud, "I thought about it when I first came down from the mountain, and I needed a resounding nickname, so that it would be easy to spread, and soon I would become a heroine that everyone knows!"

Long Xi: "...Well, the girl is very ambitious."

It turned out to be a rookie who just came out of the rivers and lakes, but since she was able to save her from so many men in black, she must have something to rely on. She must be a child of a family. Although she has no experience, her starting point is higher than others .

"I don't know what sect and school the girl came from?"

"I belong to the Nangong family, and my name is Nangong Yizhi. Sister, you can call me Xiaozhi." Nangong Yizhi smiled and asked, "What's your name, beautiful sister?"

Long Xi had heard of the Nangong family before.She doesn't care much about the affairs of the Jianghu, it is said that the children of the aristocratic family are all excellent in martial arts, and they are both excellent in medicine and poisoning, but she actually met them.I don't know where she ranks in the Nangong family. Judging by her age, she is about sixteen or seventeen years old. She is innocent, cute and charming.

"My name is Long Xi." Originally, she didn't want to reveal her real name, but after thinking about it, the other party was her savior, and it would be too much to use a fake name for her.

Nangong Yizhi: "Hee hee, meeting is fate, let's travel together in the future and make a name for ourselves in the rivers and lakes!"

Long Xi: "...I... I'm already married, so I have to go back, or my husband should be in a hurry. I'm really sorry, but I can't accompany the girl to wander the rivers and lakes. But if you don't have a clear destination, why don't you go back to my house with me? See? It’s also a kind of travel.”

In fact, she mainly took a fancy to Nangong Yizhi's ability. Although it is not clear how much ability she has, but being able to beat so many men in black, her martial arts is obviously not bad.Moreover, she is also good at medicine, and if she encounters any danger along the way, she can be treated in time.

Although he intended to take advantage of him, Long Xi really liked this little girl, and he sincerely wanted to invite her to his house as a guest.

Nangong Yizhi: "Where is your home?"

Long Xi: "In the Qilian Mountains, Yunlu Palace. Few people in the rivers and lakes know this sect, but the scenery there is beautiful and beautiful. You will definitely not regret it if you go to see it. It's like a fairyland. But before that, I have to go to a Go to the palace, my husband is still waiting for me in the palace."

"To the palace?" Nangong Yizhi was stunned, "Sister Longxi, is your husband an official? Or something like a prince?"

Long Xi: "...well, maybe."

Nangong Yizhi clapped her hands with a smile, "Okay then, I'll go for a walk with you. I haven't been to the imperial palace yet, so I don't know if it's fun."

Long Xi: "It's not bad, it's quite big, and the scenery is not bad, but it's still not as beautiful as Yunlu Palace."

"Then I yearn for Yunlu Palace even more." Nangong Yizhi asked: "Is your Yunlu Palace good at martial arts? I want to find someone to compete with. When I was at home, my brothers and sisters let me, No one really fought with me at all, and I was so aggrieved. Fortunately, when I helped you fuck the man in black last night, I stretched my muscles and bones. Sister Longxi, will there still be men in black on the way to the palace? come to kill you?"

Those big eyes were full of anticipation and excitement.

Long Xi: "...There should be."

What can she say?

Nangong Yizhi put her hands on her hips, "Don't be afraid, let them come. Let me tell you, I am very powerful. If they come, I will kill one, and if they come, I will kill one pair!"

Long Xi: "... Then there will be Lao Xiaozhi."

Ganqing is still a crazy girl.

Now I just hope that when the man in black really comes after her, this girl can stop her.Her old life has gone through many twists and turns, but she really can't bear it anymore.
