Chapter 15 The Masked Man
Visibility in the water is poor.
Ye Zhaoyan felt a little dizzy.
Her body was already weak due to injuries, and she had suffered a bumpy journey, so she didn't have much strength at this time.
A flash of worry flashed in Ye Zhaoyan's eyes.
After struggling in the water for a moment, she felt extremely weak, as if she might faint at any time.
Just when she was about to give up her struggle and let the current take her away, a black shadow fell from the sky and slammed into the water, causing a huge splash.
She suddenly felt a weight on her body and a hand holding her waist.
Immediately afterwards, she felt like she was being pulled upward by something.
Looking out of the water, Ye Zhaoyan opened his eyes and saw a pair of dark and deep ink eyes.
The person in front of me is tall and slender, with a handsome and cold face.
It is the year of Jisin.
There were beads of sweat on his forehead, and his chest rose and fell rapidly.
Ye Zhaoyan felt that the suffocation in his chest had eased a lot.
"You..." She wanted to speak, but because her throat was too dry, she could only spit out simple words.
"Shut up!" Ji Sinian yelled angrily and raised his hand to push her back to the shore.
"Are you crazy!" The young man yelled fiercely, "You even risked your life to escape!"
"Ahem!" Ye Zhaoyan choked a few times on the river water and gasped, "I never thought that I would be exhausted."
On normal days, she would not feel tired even if she swam in the water for half an hour.
My body was injured and bled for a long time today, and I am extremely exhausted.
If this were not the case, he would not even have the strength to struggle.
Ye Zhaoyan raised his eyes and glanced at his surroundings, only to realize that he was already on the lower bank of the river.
"We must leave here immediately." Ji Sinian straightened his clothes and said simply.
Ahead was the valley agreed upon in the plan, and he was going to take Ye Zhaoyan there to have a "accidental encounter" with Butler Xue Er.
Then act according to that person's plan.
He took out a torch from his pocket and threw the torch into the water.
"Crack!" There was a sound, and the fire shot up into the sky, illuminating the entire river beach.
On the other side of the valley, Butler Xue looked at the bright light on the river in the distance, understood it, and rushed in that direction with the team that was ready to go.
"Follow me." Ji Sinian's deep voice sounded, and he reached out to pull Ye Zhaoyan.
As soon as his hand touched Ye Zhaoyan's arm, he groaned in pain.
The tall and straight figure slowly knelt down on the ground.
Ye Zhaoyan's eyes fell on his kneeling right leg, which was bleeding profusely.
It was a three-inch long, extremely sharp arrow that almost penetrated his knee.
The blood on the edge of the arrow was still slightly black.
"The arrow is poisonous."
Ye Zhaoyan whispered, his voice trembling a little.
Her heart lifted.
Is this archer an enemy or a friend?
"It doesn't matter."
Ji Sinian said in a low voice, but couldn't help but put his hands on the ground.
Ying Ting's brows furrowed slightly, a layer of frost covering his brows.
Ye Zhaoyan raised his gaze to look at him, only to see a black figure reflected in his pupils.
She turned her head in surprise.
It was a burly, masked man wearing a black suit, riding on horseback with a bow and arrow.
His facial contours are very strong, his eyes are bright and shining, and he is very powerful and domineering.
That man didn't look like an ordinary robber.
But why did he want to harm Ji Sinian?
Ye Zhaoyan's heart became even more nervous.
At this moment, several sharp sounds broke through the air.
There was a "swish, swish" sound in the wind, and several arrows were speeding towards Ji Sinian.
The arrow made a sharp whistling sound and was so fast that it almost arrived in front of you in the blink of an eye.
"Be careful!" Ye Zhaoyan whispered, and quickly pushed Ji Sinian to the ground, while rolling out himself.
As soon as she lay down on the ground, an arrow flew past her sleeve and was nailed to the stone wall beside her. The tail of the arrow was still trembling slightly, showing the power of the arrow just now.
.
A trace of fear flashed in Ye Zhaoyan's eyes as he looked at the masked man on horseback.
"Girl, I'm here to save you, come with me!" the masked man in black said.
His tone was full of concern, as if his actions just now were just an instinctive reaction.
Ye Zhaoyan felt confident.
It seemed that the masked man in black did not want to kill her.
"Thank you." She thanked him softly, glanced at Ji Sinian's blackened arrow wound, and continued: "You can escort him away, and I can leave by myself."
"No!" The man in black refused decisively, "I can't let you act alone."
"I'm fine now, I won't bother you anymore." She said lightly, her eyes full of alienation.
She encountered many ambushes when she went out, and she has decided not to trust anyone anymore.
She still didn't know what the purpose of the man in black in front of her was.
"You!" the man in black choked.
He jumped off the horse and stood in front of Ye Zhaoyan, looking at her condescendingly, his tone full of threats: "If I let you go, just go obediently and don't play tricks on me, otherwise don't blame me for being cruel.
Kill and silence!"
Hearing this, Ye Zhaoyan felt a surge of anger in his heart.
"You dare." Ji Sinian stood up from the ground. He had already sealed his bloodline and was not suitable for performing martial arts.
At this time, he forced the poisonous blood to his right foot, delaying the onset of poison.
It’s just that as time goes by...
"See if I dare!" The man in black sneered.
"Then let's try it." Ji Sinian sneered and drew his long sword from behind.
He and the man in black were facing each other, swords blazing.
Ye Zhaoyan watched the confrontation between the two and couldn't help but frown.
That man's martial arts were good, and Ji Sinian was also very powerful.
The two fought against each other, and neither of them fell behind.
It was obvious that he came prepared.
After the masked man exchanged several blows with Ji Sinian, he suddenly became angry and struck him with his palm.
Ji Sinian responded quickly.
He stabbed the masked man with his sword.
The masked man dodged, holding a long sword in his right hand and clawing at Ji Sinian with his left hand.
With a flick of Ji Sinian's wrist, the long sword changed direction and struck directly at the masked man's chest.
The masked man dwarfed his body and narrowly avoided the sword. At the same time, he clasped his left hand towards Ji Sinian's neck.
Ji Sinian avoided it nimbly and attacked the masked man's side with a long sword in one hand.
Ye Zhaoyan held his breath and observed the two people who were equally indifferent.
She could tell that Ji Sinian's swordsmanship was extraordinary.
However, the masked man is not just an ordinary person, both of them are masters.
After hesitating for a moment, she decided to take advantage of the chaos and escape.
She stood up, tiptoed, and flew behind the two of them. With a flick of her finger, a stone hit the horse's butt.
The horse was stimulated and jumped forward.
Ye Zhaoyan took advantage of the situation and jumped on the horse's back, pulled the reins, turned the horse's head, and prepared to escape.
Unexpectedly, at this moment, the masked man sneered and jumped towards Ye Zhaoyan: "Want to leave?"
