Chapter 101 Chapter 23 Fighting Together

The night's long wind blew gently on the skirt of the clothes with the slightly cool fishy smell of Chishui.The stars all over the sky are like bright gemstones inlaid in the sky, exuding a soft brilliance, and a waning moon hangs obliquely among the stars like a hook, reflecting the misty whiteness of the grass below. With a calm expression, Chu Qiao rode on horseback, passed through the war-torn Wupeng City, rushed out of the wide open city gate, and galloped away on a barren grassland. The night was thick, and Wupeng City was already hidden in the darkness. In the distance, half of the sky was already burned red, the night wind was cold, and the moonlight was quiet. After running around in the middle of the night, Chu Qiao finally walked out of Wupeng City .

She had to kill Zhu Shun, and there was no room for maneuver. If it was because she didn't meet him before and there was nowhere to look for him in the vast sea of ​​people, then this time, she absolutely couldn't let him escape under her nose. Chu Qiao knew that she felt a heavy sense of guilt in her heart, and now she couldn't kill Zhuge Yue to avenge the children of the Jing family, let alone completely eradicate Zhuge Mansion.There are practical reasons, personal reasons, and many unexplainable factors.That's why she desperately wanted to get rid of Zhu Shun. On the other hand, it might be her own selfishness, a kind of repayment in disguise.

She is a human being, with human feelings and selfishness. Many times, she cannot be completely rational. Just like back then, if she was really sensible, she shouldn't stay by Yan Xun's side in spite of herself, and today, she shouldn't give up the chance to kill Zhuge Yue. She is such a person who cannot owe others or receive benefits. At this moment, I saw the Chishui turbulently passing by in the distance, and the black reef stood tall and hideous on the shore. Countless snow-white waves hit the reef one after another, shattering into thousands of broken crystals.At this time, the sound of horseshoes behind him approached again, and Zhuge Yue shouted angrily, "Stop!"

Chu Qiao turned her head coldly, and said in a deep voice, "What are you following me for?" "Did I say I would let you go?" Zhuge Yue was dressed in brocade robes, his sword-like eyebrows flew slantingly, and his lips were strangely red in the dark night.There were traces of ropes strangling his hands and feet, and the nooses on his feet hadn't been untied, obviously he had been raped by others. Both of them are the best masters of the younger generation, and it is difficult to tell the winner or loser if they face the enemy head-on.But when it comes to sneak attack, deceit, or assassination, Zhuge Yue is far from being an opponent of Chu Qiao, a professionally trained special soldier.

The two glared at each other, uncompromising. Finally, a gust of wind suddenly rolled up, bringing a large stream of bloody air from a distance.Chu Qiao was taken aback for a moment, then looked into the distance. I saw a piece of peaceful wilderness covered with pitch-black long grass everywhere. His waist was so high that he sank more than half of the horse's back. In the thick darkness, there seemed to be something hidden. There were dark green eyes, gently move. Wolf! There are wolves here!Chu Qiao and Zhuge Yue looked at each other at the same time, even if they were pretentious, if they were attacked by wolves in such a wilderness, the consequences would be unimaginable.

"Zhuge Yue, how about a temporary truce?" Zhuge Yue cast a sideways glance at her, then hummed softly, and turned his head away. "I hunt down my enemies, you come to eradicate the traitors of the family, each takes what he needs, we should cooperate." Chu Qiao stepped forward and continued to lobby him. Zhuge Yue jumped off his horse with a bang, and was about to move forward.Chu Qiao chased after her, but just as she took a step forward, the horse's hooves sank suddenly, Zhuge Yue grabbed her hand, hugged her waist, and quickly backed away. Afterwards, Chu Qiao watched her war horse disappear into the barren grass bit by bit in a daze, and let out a tragic wail!

"This is a swamp, be careful." After Zhuge Yue finished speaking, he walked ahead first, and said as he walked, "Crossing the swamp, we can reach the Thief Pass before those robbers." Chu Qiao asked: "Have you agreed to cooperate with me?" Zhuge Yue glanced at her indifferently, but did not answer.Chu Qiao was slightly taken aback, and suddenly felt a little uneasy. This atmosphere made her feel a little dangerous. She is not a fool. What is Zhu Shun's identity? Why bother Zhuge Yue to arrest him himself?And when it comes to escaped slaves, it seems that he, the escaped slave, is more guilty.

Zhuge Yue's voice sounded faintly: "I'm looking for the way ahead, you follow me." Then he ignored it and walked in as if he was strolling in his own courtyard.Even the local people dared not easily walk into this mysterious and unpredictable place, but he walked in so easily without any hesitation. Chu Qiao watched the cyan figure gradually disappear into the air, her long and narrow phoenix eyes slowly narrowed, and she couldn't see the expression clearly in the darkness, she just looked at Zhuge Yue quietly. One glance, and then his figure flashed, and he quickly followed Zhuge Yue's pace.

In the darkness before dawn, the surroundings became more and more gloomy and dark. It seemed that since entering the swamp, the surrounding environment had suddenly changed. It wasn't the windy wind as imagined, nor the rampant beasts, poisonous insects everywhere, and roads full of remains.It was the dead silence of nothing, as if there was not a soul, an animal, a life, not even a breath of wind.The airflow in the entire space was condensed, only the breathing and footsteps of the two slowly sounded in the swamp. Suddenly, Chu Qiao's feet softened, she thought she had stepped on a swamp, she quickly looked down.Unexpectedly, at first glance, he almost cried out. Zhuge Yue turned his head and saw that it was a headless corpse. The chest had been thrown away, and the internal organs were scattered all over the place. He didn't know what kind of beast it was. attack.

"Are you still afraid of this?" The man's voice carried a hint of sarcasm, Chu Qiao gave him a cold look and didn't return her words. "Then, hold it." Chu Qiao looked down and saw that it was the Po Yue Sword. She was slightly taken aback, and then heard Zhuge Yue say: "You dare to throw my things casually, you are really brave." Chu Qiao frowned and looked at him: "It's not been a day or two since I wanted to kill you in my heart, so am I still afraid of offending you by losing your things?" "Hmph, a woman with no credibility!" Zhuge Yue snorted coldly, turned his head away, and walked ahead with a sullen head.

Chu Qiao also ignored him, trying to recall in her mind the swamp survival skills she had introduced during her training at the military headquarters, and walked forward cautiously. "Let you grab it, didn't you hear?" Zhuge Yue was furious, and turned around abruptly, Chu Qiao said angrily, "Why should I listen to you? Are you better than me?" "If you are not convinced, just try it!" Chu Qiao's face was flushed, and she said angrily: "Zhuge Yue! If you think you are special, we will go our separate ways. I will avenge me, and you will arrest your slaves. There is no need to mix up. If you If you want to cooperate, show an appearance of cooperation, don't show your teeth and claws at me in anger, I am no longer your slave, and there is no need to look at your face!" Zhuge Yue's face turned blue and his chest heaved in anger, Chu Qiao pushed him away and was about to move forward. Unexpectedly, Zhuge Yue grabbed her, his hands were like pincers, and he said angrily: "I tell you, this swamp is full of dangers. If you don't know the way, you will probably be buried in it and be eaten by wild dogs. Don't you If you think you are so skilled, you don’t pay attention to this, if you don’t have me to lead the way, you can’t even walk a hundred steps, if you want to die, go away and die, don’t hang around in front of me!” Chu Qiao didn't even say a word when she heard the words, she waved Zhuge Yue's hand and turned to leave. Zhuge Yue was taken aback, stepped forward and grabbed her, and said angrily, "What are you going to do?" "Didn't you tell me to get out of here and die? Just right, I plan to keep a distance from you too." "You!" He had never been angered like this in his life, and he was stunned for a moment. He looked at Chu Qiao viciously, wishing he could swallow her in his stomach.Suddenly took a deep breath, and then said: "We have ceased fighting." Chu Qiao smiled slyly, nodded and said, "Okay." "However, I warn you..." "Watch your words and attitude!" There was really no way to continue the conversation, Zhuge Yue's eyes were red, he handed over the Moon Breaking Sword, and said in a deep voice, "Take it." Chu Qiao won a complete victory, happily holding the hilt of her sword. The night was deep, the surroundings were pitch black, and the wind was as cold as iron, with a icy smell. Zhuge Yue turned his head angrily, stepped out with his right foot, stepped on the dusty ground, and with a slight force on his hand, he pulled Chu Qiao towards him. In this extremely dangerous swamp, the two walked quietly and cautiously, but between them, there was a black iron that was as strong as the East China Sea, tightly connecting them together. Angry, but safe. The border of this swamp is very huge. After walking for nearly half an hour, the surrounding scenery still remained the same. Chu Qiao felt a little puzzled.Just when she was about to ask aloud, a soft human voice suddenly came over. Chu Qiao froze for a moment, and immediately held her breath, quietly listening to the sound in front of her. "Xijiu, why haven't they come yet, nothing will happen." A deep male voice suddenly sounded, with a gasp mixed in the voice, as if he had suffered serious injuries. "Wait another half an hour. If we haven't come yet, we'll leave first." Unexpectedly, a cold and stern female voice suddenly sounded, which sounded a bit strange in such a dead environment. At this time, another voice suddenly said: "What the hell is this place? The bite I was bitten just now still hurts. The red medicine from the Yun family doesn't work at all. Let's see if I have time not to go to the cloud." The family stole all the concubines from old man Yun. Xijiu, why did you insist on letting us meet here? Isn’t it just for nothing?” Xi Jiu said in a low voice: "Did you assume Tian Rucheng's fame for so many years for nothing? Don't look at him as old, but he is still as powerful as before. If he rides a horse on the plain, he will be overtaken by them in less than half an hour." , it will not be slaughtered by others. But it will be different in this swamp. The swamp is dangerous and close to Wupeng City. No matter how smart Tian Rucheng is, how could he think that we are hiding under their noses? Even if we find it, we can still Escape through the complicated terrain. Wupeng is not a bone that is easy to bite, you have to be careful. Hey, if it weren’t for the war in Daxia these days, there are no big merchants walking around, our harvest is really bad, so we don’t have to Make this move." Speaking of this, he paused for a moment, and then whispered: "If according to my theory, after you succeed, then just hide in the city. They know that we are a caravan, and they will never look for us in the city. Wait until they all go out. When we are investigating, we break it into pieces and look for opportunities to escape, so the chances of escape will be greater." Zhuge Yue and Chu Qiao were both moved when they heard the words, this woman's deep thoughts and courage are simply unimaginable.A small caravan dared to openly attack a heavy city, and then stayed in the city instead of running away, but they have to admit that this trick is indeed very effective, because in all fairness, even if they know this For this matter, the first reaction was to trace it in the direction outside the city. At this moment, a gust of wind suddenly blew, and Chu Qiao's clothes were cumbersome and full of fragrance. At this moment, she went with the wind and floated above the three caravan gangsters in an instant. Zhuge Yue and the two were startled immediately, only to hear the people in the darkness panic for a moment, but after all, they are thugs who have wandered between life and death for many years, and the silence lasted less than a second.The three of Xijiu immediately decided to use offense instead of defense. The figures of the three rushed towards them in an instant, flying towards the upper, middle and lower directions of the two of them. In a decisive situation, even if they are seriously injured, they will be killed by the knife. There was a sneer at the corner of Zhuge Yue's mouth, and the sword in his hand was unsheathed in an instant, the light of the sword soared, and the moves were fierce, and a flashing trace was drawn across the air like lightning, and three sharp and crisp sounds of "ding ding ding" were heard, The three sharp daggers flew upside down by the blow, and the three of them, Xi Jiu and others, were even more shocked. Their figures rose and fell around Zhuge Yue, forming triangles and surrounding him. No more offense. But at this moment, Chu Qiao made a move immediately, and saw that she was like a cheetah, extremely strong, and kicked a man in the chest, the sound of bones breaking suddenly sounded, and the man let out a miserable cry and flew upside down and go. Zhuge Yue's face was gloomy and cold, and his deep voice resounded, and he said strangely in the dead silence: "Tell me the number, lair, and retreat route of your caravan, and I will spare you." With a sound of "shua", the woman named Xijiu suddenly threw the saber in her hand on the ground, and said in a casual tone: "We are not your opponents, I will tell you what you want to know, please let me and you go!" My companion leaves." Zhuge Yue was taken aback for a moment, he didn't expect this female gangster to be so knowledgeable about current affairs, she nodded and said, "Of course." "A gentleman's promise is worth a thousand dollars. Don't go back on your word. We are just little Luoluo in the gang. We will work for whoever has money." "Okay," Zhuge Yue said, "If you tell me, I will not only let you go, but also give you a sum of money." Xijiu nodded and said, "That's fair," and then slowly leaned forward, intending to reveal their hiding place very normally. However, looking at the black clothes, Chu Qiao suddenly felt uneasy, and at this moment, Xi Jiu was only one step away from Zhuge Yue! At this time, a strong uneasiness suddenly hit Chu Qiao's heart. She couldn't explain the source of this panic, but this kind of vigilance trained on the edge of life and death has saved her too many times.So at this moment, she chose to trust her intuition completely, and she suddenly stood up from the ground, and flew out, with the dagger standing horizontally in front of her, and quickly defeated the cold light with an absolutely powerful advantage and posture . "Be careful!" However, it seemed too late to wake up at this moment, Xi Jiu's body hit by the dagger flew backwards in an instant, but there was a faint evil smile on the corner of his mouth.Chu Qiao instantly knew that the final blow of the crossbow could not hurt her vitals, but the hidden weapon fired from the best position as a top killer was completely enough to kill the enemy! This is the true portrayal of a complete one-stroke death and later life! Just when Chu Qiao turned pale with shock, a clear and clear sound suddenly sounded in front of him, a dagger with a black and green glow suddenly turned into two pieces, fell to the ground, and fell into the ground in an instant. In the swamp! Zhuge Yue's face was gloomy, his eyes were cold, and he said in a deep voice, "You are really stubborn." Xijiu leaned over and squatted on the ground like a civet cat, with one hand on the ground.She looked at Chu Qiao and Zhuge Yue with cold eyes, her voice was as cold as ice, and she snorted coldly: "Are you dreaming in broad daylight? If I say that if you surrender to us, please help me to ensure that you are popular and hot. Will you agree?" Chu Qiao said angrily in a cold voice: "Death will never change!" Like a magic trick, Xi Jiu reached out and took out a short dagger from his pocket, and suddenly jumped up from the ground, like a dexterous civet cat, without flinching to meet it. Although the other two spoke vulgarly, they were rare masters of calmness. Even though one of them was seriously injured, he still fought to the death. The two cooperated without saying a word, and rushed towards Zhuge Yue with a long knife in their hands. The movements are smooth and smooth, clean and neat. Chu Qiao never thought that there would be such a skilled person in a mere caravan. But they don't have any superb fighting skills. These people may be good at assassination, tracking, and agility, but they are definitely not masters in fighting skills. Sure enough, within a short while, the battle was over, Zhuge Yue still maintained the posture just now and stood indifferently, as if he had never made a move from the beginning to the end, his eyes were cold and calm, the long sword rested between Xi Jiu's neck, and his voice was deep Said: "Are you going to tell me?" Xijiu leaned over the swamp with blood dripping from the corner of her mouth. Since she was wearing a black robe, it was impossible to see whether she was injured or not.But it can be clearly seen that her body has been slightly sunk into the soft swamp. However, Xi Jiu didn't seem to see him talking, she just turned her head and said in a deep voice to her two companions, "We can't run away." The two nodded slightly, their eyes were calm, without a trace of panic, they suddenly picked up the dagger in their hands, pointed at the heart vein, and stabbed it fiercely! The dagger was obviously poisoned, and the two of them just twitched a little before falling to the ground. Zhuge Yue moved quickly, stepped forward and restrained Xijiu to prevent her from committing suicide. But seeing a sneer flashing across the corner of Xijiu's mouth, Chu Qiao's thoughts turned and her hands were like lightning, before she had time to think about anything, the whole person suddenly flew up and slammed into Zhuge Yue's shoulder fiercely. A silver-white fine needle that was as fine as cow hair shot into Chu Qiao's arm with a puff, and the blue poison instantly spread, and the whole arm was suddenly numb and red. "How are you?" Zhuge Yue was shocked, and grabbed Chu Qiao, Chu Qiao frowned, tore off a piece of cloth and tied it tightly on the top of the arm to prevent the poisonous blood from spreading to the heart. "fine." "All right?" Xi Jiu snorted coldly, and said in a gloomy tone, "I'm waiting for you in hell!" "Bitch!" Zhuge Yue punched the woman fiercely in the face, the sound of flesh and bones being broken suddenly sounded, the man was furious, and said in a deep voice: "Hand over the antidote!" Xi Jiu sneered, lying in the swamp, half of her body sunk in, spitting black blood out of her mouth, but her eyes were full of cold schadenfreude. Chu Qiao felt a chill in her heart, this thin nine is vicious and vicious, she will not give up until she achieves her goal, she can't wait to risk her life, she may not have great skills, but she is meticulous in her mind, good at hiding, sneak attacking, using poison, and she is even more determined With strong willpower and enough patience, he is really a first-class excellent killer. "Where is the antidote? Tell me!" Zhuge Yue grabbed her neck fiercely. "Who are you?" A hoarse voice suddenly sounded, and Chu Qiao lowered her head, only to see that she was speaking to herself. Zhuge Yue looked at her and said coldly, "Give me the antidote, I'll give you the antidote." I'll tell you." Xi Jiu snorted coldly, looking quite disdainful, as if saying that such a dispensable news is not worth exchanging at all.Seeing that she would rather die than leak the news, Chu Qiao admired this tough female killer, so she replied in a deep voice, "I am Chu Qiao from Yanbei." When Xi Jiu heard this, her pupils widened instantly, and it took her a long time to let out a long breath, and said softly, "No wonder..." The night was pitch black, and not a single star could be seen in the cloudy sky at this moment. He only heard Xijiu sneer, and after a while, he said in a low and weak voice: "So it's... Yanbei's... people... If...you don't make...we are enemies... I can save you, but it's a pity ..." She suddenly coughed up blood, and Chu Qiao knew that such people had poisonous sacs in their mouths, and once captured, they would commit suicide immediately to avoid suffering. "Yanbei...can you really... Datong..." Zhuge Yue frowned, loosened his arms, and Xi Jiu's body rolled a few times and fell into a pit. The whole body slowly sank into the swamp, and after a long while, there was no trace of him anymore. "How are you?" Zhuge Yue helped Chu Qiao up, Chu Qiao shook her head, and said in a hoarse voice, "It's not poisonous." "Let's go to Tangjing right away. The Imperial Physician Zhu of Tangjing Palace has excellent medical skills and will definitely cure your poison." Chu Qiao frowned slightly, and said in a deep voice, "Aren't you waiting for your subordinates?" Zhuge Yue carried her on his back, and said in a deep and indifferent voice, "It's too late." A jackdaw flapped its wings suddenly, flew across the swamp, and flew into the distance. With Chu Qiao on his back, Zhuge Yue hurriedly ran across the swamp. A long night is coming to an end.
