Mountains and rivers pray for peace

Chapter 44 Bloody Huailin
She closely watched Fifth Master's every move.

Suddenly, she thought of a person——

Nie Qin, Huo Ruhai's favorite student, is now the Minister of Rites.

When Huo Qi and Yuan Shao got married, Nie Qin came to congratulate him with his eldest son Nie Ru. At that time, he was accompanied by an entourage, it was this fifth master.This person has a bit of a rat look, and has been hiding behind Nie Ru. The two of them seem to be very close.If it weren't for Huo Qi's excellent memory, no one would have thought that this humble fifth master was actually Nie Qin's slave.

Thinking of this, a bright light flashed in Huo Qi's chaotic mind.

Daxing 13 years.

Huo Chi has become the hottest and youngest member of the bureaucracy. He has always been proud of his talents, but he and Nie Ru, a crooked seedling who doesn't know a lot of Chinese characters, become brothers of the opposite sex.

Daxing 16 years.

Ning Guogong's rebellion shocked the government and the public. Nie Qin, as Huo Ruhai's favorite student, not only was not labeled as a member of the Huo family's party, but instead joined the cabinet to pay homage to the prime minister on the second day after Ning Guogong's house was ordered to be ransacked.

Nie Ru dares to participate in the murder of Huo Xian now, if it is said that the Nie family did not contribute to the framing of Ningguo Duke's mansion in the previous life, she will definitely not believe it.

She was still thinking, with Huo Chi's power, how could he gather a large number of killers to work for him, but it turned out that he had found a good helper!

The second bedroom of the Huo family, the Zhenyuan Hou's mansion, and the Nie's family, the three families stepped on the bones of Ningguo Duke's mansion and ascended to heaven. If Huo Qi doesn't get back this debt, it will be in vain for her to live again!
"Girl, it seems to me that the new batch of killers are a little different from the previous ones. Although the previous batch were ruthless, they acted in a chaotic manner. However, the new batch seems to be well-disciplined and have some rules in doing things."

Liu Yu stared closely at the situation ahead, and gradually focused Huo Qi's distracted eyes on the several factions in front of him.

In front of the Huailin stele.

Fifth Master yelled at the people behind him: "A bunch of trash!"

After scolding him, he looked at Huo Xian and smiled coldly: "I originally thought that Young Master Huo was still the weak scholar he was three years ago, but I didn't expect that he has become a tough guy now. If Duke Ning Guo knew about it, he would be very pleased. I must regret forcing Master Huo away. What a pity!"

"who are you!"

"Does a dying person need to know so much?"

Fifth Master smiled crookedly and raised his hand to wave.

"Come on, I must kill Huo Xian today!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a large number of killers with knives rushed towards Huo Xian.Be merciless and go straight to the vital point.It is difficult for two fists to defeat four hands. Although Huo Xian's martial arts is not weak, he cannot defeat one against a hundred.After a few rounds, my physical strength was almost exhausted.

He was originally dealing with several killers in front of him, but unexpectedly someone seized on the flaw and attacked from the side and behind. Huo Xian was unprepared for a moment, and a stab wound appeared on his back.

Seeing this, a killer laughed wildly.

"Brothers, hold on! He can't hold on any longer!"

"Kill Huo Xian and drink with the reward!"

"kill!"

These words seemed to inspire all the killers present, and also awakened their bloodthirsty instincts.A group of people held knives and launched a more violent attack on Huo Xian, which was also the last wave of attack in their eyes.

Huo Qi stood in the woods, looking at the situation in front of her with no sadness or joy, the mountain wind under her feet passed through her internal organs, making her feel cold all over her body.

She ordered in a deep voice: "General Liu, do it. Everything that follows will be done as I said before."

Liu Yu received Huo Qi's order and immediately blew his whistle, only to hear a rustling in the forest, and all the Cui Jiajun hiding in the depths of the dense forest appeared.Coincidentally, the ones rushing forward were actually Li Xiexi and Zhang Mazi whom Huo Qi hadn't seen for a long time.

In an instant, the sound of killing shook the sky.

Huo Xian was entangled by more than a dozen men in black and was on the verge of losing his hold. Suddenly he saw a large number of archers appearing not far away. Before he could realize whether they were friends or foes, Huo Xian was standing there. The knife-wielding killer fell half down instantly.

In just a few minutes, the situation was completely reversed.

Fifth Master, who was watching the battle from the back, thought that he was sure of victory, but he didn't expect a force to suddenly appear out of nowhere to be his enemy.Seeing that the situation ahead was already at a disadvantage, he was thinking of a strategy to deal with the enemy, but suddenly saw the cuff on an archer.

Is it actually a soldier of the imperial court?

He secretly thought that something was wrong, so he climbed on the horse and ran back.

Liu Yu and Cui Xin's men were fighting fiercely with the killer, and they had no time to be distracted. Therefore, no one noticed that someone was about to escape.

Seeing that the fifth master was about to escape, Huo Qi was hiding behind the battlefield to avoid causing trouble to Liu Yu. At this moment, he snatched the horse and bow and arrows from the soldiers around him, stepped on the stirrups, whipped the horse, and the horse was like a string. It shot out like an arrow.

After chasing him for tens of meters, Huo Qi took up his bow and shot an arrow, and a cold arrow shot out of the air. The fifth master seemed not to have expected that someone would chase him. Without noticing, he fell off his horse, clutching his chest and squirming.

Huo Qi barely gave Wu Ye a chance to breathe, and he picked up his bow and set an arrow again, and a cold arrow flew out again.This time, Fifth Master fell directly to the ground, and he could tell he was out of breath.

The people fighting fiercely in the front seemed to have noticed that there was a woman wearing a hat in the forest.Huo Xian saw the blue figure on the horseback in the distance, although he couldn't see the person's appearance clearly, he felt a sense of familiarity in his heart. He just lost his mind for a moment, and there was another corpse under the long sword.

Seeing that Fifth Master was dead, the killer on the other end immediately lost confidence, but he didn't know what to do next, so he could only frantically wave the knife in his hand.It's just that Huo Xian had already killed half of this group of killers, and now that the number is not dominant, it is already at the end of their strength.

Liu Yu brought a lot of people, and they were all elites, so naturally he was not a vegetarian.In just a short while, all the killers were killed, and the forest that was originally full of killing noises returned to calm.

At this moment, Liu Yu was free, seeing Huo Qi running out of the woods, he hurried towards her, and said with concern: "Young lady, are you okay?"

Huo Qi shook his head.

While talking, Huo Xian also ran over on Yueying.

It was Huo Xian who spoke to Liu Yu first, with a hint of joy in his voice: "If I hadn't been rescued by my eldest brother today, I'm afraid Huo Xian would have died under the knife of a traitor. If you dare to ask your eldest brother's name, you can also let me know the savior." Who is it, there is a place where I can repay my kindness."

Liu Yu chuckled, clasped his fists and bowed: "Young Master Huo, you are so polite. General Liu Yu is the deputy general of General Ningyuan, General Cui. How can he be called the big brother of you? As for repaying kindness, let alone talking about it, it is all the last word. Will fulfill his responsibilities."

"But Cui Xin, General Cui?"

"Why did General Liu come to Huailin today?"

Huo Xian asked twice, obviously very curious about his appearance.

"Exactly. General Cui received an internal report from an informant the day before yesterday. Huailin bandits have been running rampant recently. They will gather here to cause trouble today. Gu specially sent his general to come to clean up, but he didn't want to catch up with these bandits and secretly kill the eldest young master. It can be considered a mistake."

"Rogue?"

"Exactly." Liu Yu said firmly.

Huo Xian couldn't help being suspicious.

Those men in black just now were well-trained and murderous, how could it be possible for ordinary rogues to have the skills?Besides, the leader was able to call out his name just now, and it was obviously aimed at him. Where did the rogues not rob money, but directly take people's lives?

However, the leader had been shot and killed without any evidence, and Liu Yu had saved his life. He couldn't refute, so he just wondered: "General Liu has never seen me, how do you know that I am the eldest young master of the Huo family?"

Liu Yu was about to spill the beans and immediately bit his tongue.

He glanced at Huo Qi secretly, complaining in his heart.

He was also puzzled as to why Huo Qi pretended to be his subordinate and was unwilling to recognize Huo Xian here.That's all, Huo Qi even asked him to conceal the matter and only said that this abominable murder case was caused by rogue bandits.

He had no choice but to lie casually: "When the general came over just now, he heard the leader of the bandits call your name, so he realized it and rushed to support."

Huo Xian nodded calmly.

Seeing Liu Yu winking behind him, doubts abounded in his heart.

He had already noticed the woman behind Liu Yu. This woman was covered with gauze and was sitting on a horse behind Liu Yu. Judging from her position, she should be a subordinate.But the look in Liu Yu's eyes just now gave him the illusion that this girl was his master.

What made him even more incomprehensible was that although he couldn't see the girl's face clearly under the bamboo hat, he felt an indescribable sense of familiarity, as appropriate and comfortable as a relative.

between fingers.

A face flashed through his mind that he couldn't even believe.

Could it be Huo Qi?
impossible.

Huo Qi has always been gentle and kind, he couldn't bear to trample an ant to death under his feet, but this woman was decisive and even dared to shoot Wu Ye alone.Besides, if it was really Huo Qi, he would have jumped up to act like a baby to him long ago, so how could he have been hiding behind Liu Yu without saying a word and not recognizing him?

Huo Xian wanted to get rid of this strange thought, but he was hesitant: "May I ask General Liu, who is the girl behind you?"

Before Liu Yu could speak, a deep and restrained voice came from under the bamboo hat: "General Huo, the last general is General Liu's subordinate."

Hearing this sentence, Huo Xian began to think that this person should not be Huo Qi.People in the capital would only call him Young Master Huo, just like Liu Yu just now.No one has ever called him a general except in Cyprus.In the eyes of everyone, the status of the young master of the Ningguo government will always be more dignified than that of a deputy.

Moreover, Huo Qi's tone of voice was always filled with a sweet smile, but this man's words were a bit colder than Liang Yue's words outside the Great Wall.

Huo Xian had no doubts about him: "Young girl was very good at shooting arrows just now. Huo Xian admires her."

The girl in front of her didn't answer, and it seemed that this compliment was a bit embarrassing, causing Huo Xian to wipe her nose with her hands.However, what he couldn't see was that the eyes of the girl under the veil were covered with mist.

After a moment of silence.

It was Liu Yu who took over the conversation and told Huo Qi in a dignified manner: "Take a few people to stay here to deal with the aftermath and see if you can find any useful evidence from these bandits."

"I obey. General, according to my subordinates, today's rogues are unusual, why don't I just go with these two people. These two people are somewhat clever and capable of handling things."

Huo Qi pointed to the two leading archers behind.

Liu Yu looked at Huo Qi's fingers, and it turned out to be Zhang Mazi and Li Xixie.These two are not considered to be the best in martial arts among them, but since Huo Qi has spoken, it is not easy for him to save her face.

He immediately shouted: "Zhang Mazi, Li Crab!"

When the two heard the summons, they ran over and bowed: "General Liu."

"You are here with her to deal with the aftermath. Don't come back until you get things done."

Liu Yu pointed at Huo Qi.

Zhang Mazi and Li Xixie had no doubt about him, they nodded in agreement.

After Liu Yu finished his orders, he turned to Huo Xian with a silly smile: "Master Huo, it's not suitable to stay here for a long time, we'd better retreat quickly. The general will see that you are injured, if you go back like this, I'm afraid you will offend Duke Ning and the others." Madam is worried, why don't you follow the general and go to the post to rest for a whole night, and then it's not too late to return home?"

Huo Xian felt that Liu Yu was a rough guy, but his thoughts were delicate, and he even considered this step for him, so he nodded in agreement.The two immediately retreated to the capital with the remaining archers.

……

After half an hour.

Zhang Mazi and Li Xixie did not wait for Huo Qi to issue orders.Li Crab couldn't hold back and said, "Girl, what are we going to do next?"

Huo Qi looked forward to Huo Xian's gradually blurred back, and finally got off the horse and took off the bamboo hat.

When Li Xiefu saw the girl on horseback taking off her hat, he was stunned for three seconds, and his face turned red with excitement: "Miss Huo, why is it you!"

While speaking, Li Xixie pinched the arm of the person next to him fiercely. Li Mazi was patrolling ahead, but the pain in his arm made him look away.

Li Mazi originally wanted to complain to Li Xixie, but when he saw Huo Qi's face, the impatience in his brows and eyes instantly turned into a smile: "What a coincidence today! I just saw the girl's heroic archery, I felt a bit like you, but I didn't expect it to be you! I will burn incense to my ancestors when I go back!"

"It's been a long time since I last saw my two eldest brothers."

The smile in Huo Qi's eyes was brewing on his lips.

"I still have some things to do today, I need to ask you two for help."
