Chapter 40: The Arrow
Before Qi Xiu could react, her wrists were firmly controlled by others. She struggled for no reason. Several guards suddenly let out a few screams, and they all hugged their shoulders and retreated. They looked closely and found that they were shot into a small black arrow at some point.
At the same time, Qi Xiu's hand was grabbed by force, and she ran without saying a word and rushed out in a few steps.
Although the boy took her to escape quickly, the guards of Chu's mansion did not react slowly. Not long after, more than a dozen horses appeared, each horse immediately rode a man and chased them.
Qi Xiu saw their aggressive appearance and knew that if these people caught up, he and the young man would not have a good ending. He dared not procrastinate and ran hard.
The two legs of a man could not escape the four legs of a horse. After only two streets, they had already chased behind him. The leading guard took out the long whip in his arms and whipped it down at the two in front.
This man's name is Qian Hu, and he is one of Chu Yu's personal bodyguards.
Seeing that the whip was about to pass through Qi Xiu's back, several black arrows flew from somewhere. One happened to hit the whip and hit it indirectly. The other few hit the legs of the horses in front at the same time.
The horse fell to the ground in pain, and even the guards above fell down. The horses behind were stumbled, and the horses behind did not have time to stop, and they were tripped by the horses falling down in front and fell to the ground one after another. The horses were already extremely fast, but at this moment they fell down suddenly, and the horseman on their backs were thrown forward inadvertently, falling together like a stack of arhats, rolling back and forth in pain.
The leading guard turned over on the spot, quickly took out the bow and arrow behind him, and snorted heavily.
Want to run like this? It's not that easy! He narrowed his eyes and the arrow pointed straight at the two people running in front. He pulled the bowstring heavily, and saw the boy in the distance suddenly fall forward.
"Hey!" Qi Xiu was pulled by him and couldn't help but scream.
The boy had an arrow in his leg, but at this moment he didn't even look at it. He stood up with one hand and pulled Qi Xiu to continue running.
Seeing their movements, the man quickly repaired two more arrows, but this time he was too far away and his head was a little less accurate. He only wiped the edge of Qixiu's skirt, but did not hurt them.
Seeing this, he couldn't help but shout: "The man in front of him has just hurt the young master and our brothers! Go back alone to report the message and call more people. The rest of the people will follow me to chase them, and each person will be rewarded with ten taels of silver!"
The boy here was shot in the leg, and his running speed was a little slower than before, but it was only a little bit. However, it was no difference between a little faster and a little slower Yu Qixiu. The only thing she felt was that her legs were almost ruined.
"Can you, can you...huhhh... slower? I, I run...huh... can't run anymore." Qi Xiu said panting.
"If you want to survive, you can't stop." The young man said while running.
"You, what kind of hatred do you have with them?" Qi Xiu wanted to say that he was so vicious, and he swallowed it back when he was at his mouth, and it was rare to be implicit.
The young man ignored her, not knowing whether he heard it or not, and just pulled her to run for no time.
Listening to the sound of beating and killing not far behind, Qi Xiu was so tired that he had no strength to argue and was mechanically pulled and kept running.
Although the guards behind were separated by a distance, their footwork was not slow. They kept chasing them closely, and they didn't know who they were. They would shoot an arrow at them soon. Fortunately, the man's shooting skills were not high. Except for the arrow in the young man's calf, the other two sides had never shot at each time while moving.
The hidden arrows behind her were constantly shutting down, and the boy was unceremonious and shot out several hidden weapons. Compared with the guards who shot the archery, the boy had a much larger accurate head, nine out of ten shots, and the remaining one was because Qi Xiu was so tired that he ran and swayed, and he missed to avoid hurting her.
Compared to Changping City, the imperial capital of Zhongzhou, Zhuxi is a very small county. The two of them ran all the way and soon arrived at the suburbs.
The suburbs of Zhuxi are not like other places, with complex shrubs and flowers that can block the whereabouts. Looking around, the ground in front of you is bare. Not to mention shrubs and flowers, there are not even grass and hair. There are only a few houses, but it seems that they have not lived in a long time and are dilapidated. It is easy to see two living people clearly in such an environment.
There were too many places to hide along the way, but the young man chose this place. Qi Xiu was so excited that he could not cry, and the county magistrate behind him had not yet caught up with him, but he probably wouldn't be too slow. If she couldn't find a hiding place here, wouldn't she have to continue running?
Wherever you want to run is the end... Could it be that she will just run until the next city? What if the official in a city has a good relationship with the young master just now? Wouldn't she keep running?
If I had known this, I would have fainted from poisoning this person just now, so I would have saved him from such a big trouble!
Thinking of this, a ray of light suddenly flashed across her mind. Yes, why didn't she expect that if she fainted from poisoning the young man, he would not pull herself away and dig a hole to hide him. Anyway, she had never hurt those people, so they shouldn't be wronged...
If Li Qianfan heard this, he would definitely be so stupid. They had escaped together for so long, and everyone thought they were in the same group and would not let anyone go easily if they were caught. Moreover, she finally remembered that she could use poison, but how to deal with it but used it on her own people? Are you stupid?
But Li Qianfan happened to be away now, and no one scolded and reminded him. The more Qi Xiu thought about it, the more he felt that this method was feasible, and he slowly penetrated into his sleeve with one hand.
Qi Xiu was working hard for the peaceful life in the future, while the young man in front stood around, looking around, as if he was judging which direction he should go, so he didn't notice that there was a sinful little hand behind him, holding a small bottle and slowly approaching him...
A little closer, a little closer, he already touched his collar! Qi Xiu's first sneak attack on someone else at such a close distance was indescribable excitement. Seeing that he was about to succeed, the young man in front suddenly pulled her and ran up again. Qi Xiu was not careful and got out of the bottle in his hand.
The young man pulled her into a farmer's yard. A thick layer of spider webs were formed on the fence around him. It was indeed a long time since no one took care of him.
Qi Xiu originally thought he wanted to go in and hide, but the young man turned his head and pushed her forward, and said coldly: "You first!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Qi Xiu felt that he was being pushed hard, and his feet were unstable and he couldn't stop. He rolled and crawled out. After a few rolls, his body suddenly became empty and fell down.
The boy seemed to be very familiar with the surrounding area. Each of the farmhouses had a well. Before the pursuit arrived, he threw Qi Xiu in and hid without saying a word, and then jumped in.
At the same time, the guards who were chasing all the way finally appeared.
-------------------
The trailer for the next chapter: The young man pressed Qi Xiu under him, trying to prevent her from being exposed outside. He was still staring at the entrance of the cave coldly, with a red red color dyed in his eyes, but at the bottom of the dim well, no one would notice his subtle changes.
