When Zhao Yuan dragged Liu Zhiqing out of the water, she was already drowning and her face was already a little pale. Without any time to think about it, he immediately laid her down on his knees, patted her back, and poured out the water in her belly.

.

However, Liu Zhiqing still did not appear to be awake, so Zhao Yuan immediately turned her over, regardless of the difference between men and women, and began to perform cardiopulmonary resuscitation on her.

After a while, Liu Zhiqing coughed violently, started spitting water outside, and slowly opened her eyes.

Zhao Yuan quickly took his hand back, helped her up, and helped pat her back.

After Liu Zhiqing spit out the water for a while, her pale face turned slightly rosy. She turned to look at the river and asked, "Where is the boat?"

Zhao Yuandao: "It sank. The whereabouts of the others are unknown. Let's go now. You have to change into dry clothes, otherwise you will get sick before you get to Jinling."

Liu Zhiqing did not refuse and followed Zhao Yuan up, but this place was a remote place with few people and there were no other people at all.

"Ah sneeze!"

Liu Zhiqing sneezed. Even though she was practicing martial arts, the weather was cold now and the wind by the river was strong. The wind chill already hit her body.

Fortunately, it didn't take long for the two of them to find a farmhouse, and they exchanged their clothes for ordinary clothes. Seeing that Liu Zhiqing's face was a little pale, the peasant woman went to cook ginger soup for another night, and freed up another room.

Let the two of you stay for one night.

There are already few houses in this farmhouse, so it is very difficult to spare one.

However, at night, neither of them felt sleepy at all.

"You said, where are the people who attacked us today?"

On the bed, Liu Zhiqing was leaning against the wall, wrapped in a quilt, holding a cup in her hands. In fact, she had been thinking about this problem.

Under the bed, there was a clean mat on the ground. Zhao Yuan was lying on the mat at the moment and said: "Is it possible that they are the Brahma Sect's men? We have tortured them enough. They knew you left the Liu family and ambush you secretly.

It’s not impossible, and they also have the strength.”

Liu Zhiqing thought for a while, nodded slightly, and said: "Now that I think about it, it is indeed possible, but it cannot be ruled out?"

Zhao Yuan turned his head and looked over and said, "You mean there are others?"

Liu Zhiqing said: "The Liu family is still somewhat famous in the world, and they have some enemies."

Zhao Yuandao: "There are enemies who can organize so many people, but there are very few people who dare to attack the Liu family's ship on the Yangtze River waterway. We have to be careful next. They will definitely search along the way. If they don't find your body, they won't

I will give up and give up!"

Early the next morning, the two of them hurriedly said goodbye and headed straight to Jinling.

After walking for about an hour, Liu Zhiqing suddenly stopped.

Zhao Yuan looked sideways and found that her face was a little ugly, and asked curiously: "What's wrong?"

Liu Zhiqing's mouth trembled slightly and she said, "Didn't you say last night that they would never give up if they didn't find my body?"

Zhao Yuan nodded and said: "It is indeed possible."

Liu Zhiqing said: "In addition to searching along the river surface, they will also search along the river bank. In addition to knowing my person, these people should also know my clothes."

When she said this, Zhao Yuan's expression couldn't help but change, and he immediately said: "Let's go!"

Without any hesitation, the two of them turned around and headed back the way they came. Yesterday, their clothes were soaked and they changed clothes with a farmer. There was no way to dry them due to the weather yesterday. When they left this morning, they found that their clothes had been dried.

In the yard, if those people are really searching along the river at this moment, if they find this house, they will most likely recognize those clothes as their own. Whether the farmer and his wife tell them where they are going or not, they are very likely to know their whereabouts.

May be silenced.

It was originally an hour's journey and the two of them ran all the way without hesitation at the expense of their internal energy. It only took them half an hour to get back. They originally thought they could make it in time, but before they arrived, they saw that houses were already burning down from a distance.

Liu Zhiqing's feet went weak and she stumbled involuntarily. She quickly held on to the old tree next to her, tears streaming down her cheeks, and she blamed herself: "It was all me who hurt them."

Originally, the purpose of exchanging clothes with them was to repay their kindness for taking them in. When I took the clothes to the market and bought them for as much money as I could, I realized that it had actually harmed them.

Zhao Yuan did not expect that he would arrive a step too late. Even though he had no intention of harming them, they died because of him. Looking at the raging fire, his heart moved and he said in a deep voice: "It didn't take long for the fire to start.

, that group of people shouldn’t have gone far!”

The implication is that this blood debt must be repaid with blood.

Liu Zhiqing stood up straight and said: "Let's go!"

The two immediately chased down the river bank.

Those assassins were chasing me along the river, and now they were probably chasing me along the river bank. The two of us had avoided the assassins at first, so we chose a detour instead of a shortcut.

Both of them had good kung fu, and their footwork was much faster than those of the assassins. As expected, it took them just one meal to catch up, when a group of people dressed in ordinary clothes and armed with various weapons appeared in their sight.

among.

Zhao Yuan exerted force on his feet, and after a few ups and downs, he was already approaching the group of people, picked up a stone and threw it over.

The person who had been hit by the stone was in pain. He covered his head and turned around. Just when he was about to curse, he found that the person standing behind him was the person he and others were looking for. He quickly shouted: "Stop!"

The group of people all stopped and looked behind them in confusion.

Zhao Yuan walked towards them and said at the same time: "I heard that you are looking for me?"

As he spoke, he plucked his hands on his waist and said, "I'm here now."

The Shisui Sword instantly stood straight, gleaming coldly in the sunlight.

At this moment, Zhao Yuan was like a Zhisui Sword unsheathed, surrounded by a blade-like aura, filled with murderous intent.

This group of people was looking for Zhao Yuan and Liu Zhiqing. They disappeared from the farmer and chased them along the river bank. However, they could not find them after chasing for a long time. When they were complaining that the great opportunity was wasted, they did not expect to find them.

But the person appears from behind, which is exactly what he said. There is no place to go after breaking through the iron shoes, and it takes no effort to get there.

However, Zhao Yuan looked murderous at this moment, and they also felt that something was wrong. They looked at each other, and one of them said: "Brothers, come together and take his head back to receive the reward!"

As soon as he shouted, everyone rushed forward.

“Don’t overestimate your capabilities!”

Zhao Yuan said coldly, and with a strong movement of his feet, he rushed forward.

Everyone felt a figure flash before their eyes!

The person who was originally a few feet away suddenly appeared in front of them, and then the shadow of the sword seemed to fill the sky in front of them, and they had no idea whether the move was false or real.

The Zhishui Sword is a rare magic weapon, and Zhao Yuan's sword technique is a rare skill. Moreover, this sword technique was created by Zhuge Tian and was taught by the sword demon Xie Yunlou. Although Zhao Yuan has not yet fully understood Xie Yunlou's sword technique at that time.

I mean, but it's enough to deal with the people in front of me.

The fight only lasted a short time. The originally aggressive assassins had turned into corpses on the ground. Only one of them was still alive. It was not because he was good at martial arts, but because Zhao Yuan wanted to ask something.

The tip of the sword stopped an inch away from him, and Zhao Yuan asked coldly: "Who sent you here?"

This person was so frightened at this moment that he shivered for a while and said, "I...we don't know either."

Zhao Yuan held out the sword in his hand and said: "You don't know? If you tell me, I will let you go. If you don't tell me, you will be like them!"

The man said: "My hero, I really don't know. Once we find out, we will take your heads to collect the reward!"

They had said this before. Zhao Yuan was moved in his heart and said, "You are here for hire?"

The man nodded quickly and said, "Yes! Someone has offered a reward of one thousand taels of gold for the head of the eldest lady of the Liu family. If I can get the head of Mr. Yang... Mr. Yang, I will get a reward of eight hundred taels of gold."

"I didn't expect my head to be so valuable!"

Zhao Yuan said, thought for a while, and then said: "Are those people on the boat in the river also yours?"

The man immediately shook his head like a rattle and said: "No, the news we got is that we will search along the coast. No matter life or death, as long as we find it, we will be rewarded! I really don't know anything else. I really don't know."

Zhao Yuan slowly retracted his sword, thought about it in his mind, thought for a moment, turned to look at the corpses on the ground, his heart moved, and said: "You just killed those two farmers and their husbands, I originally planned to kill you to pay for their blood."

I’ll pay with my blood, but now I’ll give you a chance to spare your life, but you have to do something for me.”

This person quickly said: "Laughter, please tell me, I will definitely do it, I will do it!"

Zhao Yuandao: "Can you take the clothes from the farmer's place?"

The person said: "Here, here..."

As he said that, he searched among the corpses on the ground, pointed at one person and said, "It's in that person's baggage."
