Chapter 258

Ye Xiaotian bared his fangs and brandished his claws as he dashed in front, Yang Santhin and the rest gritted their teeth and followed behind, drawing their swords as they ran, their ferocious looks looked as if they heard his summons and were ready to fight with their lives against this group of Miao people.

Zhan Ning 'er's side only saw Ye Xiaotian suddenly dashing out from between them, shouted towards the group at the city gate and then turned around, swaggering towards them, even proudly shouting, "You bunch of Miao barbarians, this time you are dead meat!"

What else could they do now? Could it be that they were going to stop and wait for the other party to chop down a few of their brothers before they could discuss who was right and who was wrong? Of course they immediately drew their swords and charged forward without hesitation and shouted even louder than the other party, their expressions even more ferocious than the other party.

"I cannot fight, if all of you can defeat my brothers, I will admit defeat!"

The swords flashed like snow, reflecting the cold sun, like a menacing mountain of swords pouncing towards him, Ye Xiaotian suddenly slipped, made an extremely ecstatic movement, like a speeding car suddenly drifting, with a swoosh, he flashed to the roadside and immediately prostrated himself in prostration.

As such, those Miao men who were shouting and shouting, even if they had the intention to stab him, they would find it a hindrance, moreover there were people charging over with swords, who would have the heart to care about him and immediately raised their swords to meet the enemy.

Yang Santhin and the rest ran, suspicions grew in their hearts, what were these Miao people trying to do? It seemed... seemed like they wanted to fight with us? Could it be that they were Ye Xiaotian's reinforcements?

Yang Santhin was very clear that this was not Jing Zhou, in these tribal areas, how tough and domineering the folkways were. He hesitated, his footsteps gradually slowed down but before they had the chance to ask clearly, the Miao people were already brandishing their swords, shouting and shouting and charging over in high spirits.

Clang clang clang clang, a series of random slashes, Yang Santhin and the rest raised their swords to meet the enemy in a daze, at the same time drawing their souls in their hearts.

The two old soldiers who were guarding the city saw a huge battle at the city gate, one group seemed to be outsiders, the other group was a tribe they could not afford to offend, immediately carried their rusty tasseled spears and ran towards the top of the city wall, their movements swift and decisive, steady and powerful, seemed like they were extremely experienced in escaping.

"Really a useless person!"

When Zhan Ning 'er, who was pretending to be a refined lady, passed by Ye Xiaotian who was prostrating himself on the ground, naturally she could not lift her skirt and kick him fiercely, she could not even say a word of disdain, she could only glare fiercely at Ye Xiaotian in her heart and walked past him.

When Zhan Ning 'er passed by, Ye Xiaotian who was lying on the ground pretending to be a tortoise immediately jumped up, hurriedly looked towards the city gate, the battle started here, the commoners at the city gate had scattered, Xue Shuiwu was carrying Yang Le Yao, carrying a big bag, like a refugee, had just escaped to the city gate.

When Ye Xiaotian looked up, Xue Shuiwu coincidentally turned her head and looked towards him. Ye Xiaotian was overjoyed, "My little wife is very smart, she grasped the timing really well!"

Ye Xiaotian gave Xue Shuiwu a thumbs up, mouthing the word "go", Xue Shuiwu turned her head, quickly disappearing into the city gate.

Amidst the flashes of the swords, Ye Xiaotian kept moving towards the corner, the two sides were in a chaotic battle, no one noticed him at all.

Zhan Ning 'er focused on the two sides fighting, she had many people, all of them were brave warriors of the tribe, of course, they were best at fighting in the mountains, but they could not display their strengths here.

Even so, compared to Skinny Yang's side, they were still much stronger, not to mention that Skinny Yang's side not only had fewer people, but also had a few guards, even if they usually practiced with stone weights, swords and spears, how could they be compared to these real trained mountain men?

"Don't fight, we surrender, we surrender!"

Skinny Yang's left hip was hit by a saber, his right shoulder was cut, his hair was messed up, his hair was disheveled, he struggled to fight for a while, his saber was knocked away by a Miao family warrior who used a heavy weapon, he could only raise his hands up high, shouting in grief and indignation, "Who are you to Ye Xiaotian, why are you going against us?"

Zhan Ning 'er and Young Master Xu looked at each other, puzzled, Zhan Ning' er suddenly came to a realization, she quickly raised her arms and shouted, "All of you, stop!"

Both sides slowly retreated, panting as they stood still, many of them were already covered in injuries, especially Skinny Yang's side. Zhan Ning 'er slowly took two steps forward, asked in a deep voice, "You … you are not Ye Xiaotian's brothers?"

After the time it took to drink a cup of tea, Skinny Yang, whose clothes were stained with blood and hair was disheveled, raised his hands up high like a Great Magus of Chu, and shouted in grief and indignation, "Ye Xiaotian, I, Skinny Yang, swear to God, I will kill you! I will kill you! "

Zhan Ning 'er stood beside Young Master Xu like a little lady, but in her heart, she swore, "You bastard, how dare you make fun of me, you used me, Ye, I will not let you go, I will kill you! I will kill you! "

At this moment, Ye Xiaotian, who had been cursed by both Skinny Yang and Zhan Ning'er and wanted to grind his bones and scatter his ashes, was sprinting along a mountain path that led southwest.

When he slid out of Huangzhou City like a yellow croaker, he discovered to his shock that Xue Shuiwu was carrying Yang Leyao, trudging with great difficulty on a small mountain path that led southwest. Ye Xiaotian panicked, he immediately shouted to Yaoyao, "Shuiwu, you are going the wrong way, not in that direction."

Unexpectedly, Xue Shuiwu turned a deaf ear to him, or maybe she didn't hear him at all, she ran even faster. Ye Xiaotian shouted twice, her figure had already disappeared at the end of the uneven ground. Ye Xiaotian helplessly looked at the flat road in front of him, angrily stamped his feet, left the main road and chased after her.

Xue Shuiwu was carrying a child, how could she run fast, Ye Xiaotian quickly caught up to her.

"Shuiwu! Stop, don't run! "

Ye Xiaotian hurriedly caught up, Shuiwu heard his voice and quickly stopped, turning around, her face full of surprise, "Brother Ye, you escaped, they didn't chase after you, right?"

Ye Xiaotian said, "Of course not, why are you going this way, you will never reach Beijing if you keep going like this."

Xue Shuiwu's gaze flickered for a moment before she hastily said, "Ah, Shuiwu is thinking that even though we've left the city, I'm afraid that they'll be able to guess the direction we're heading in and will soon catch up with us. It's better to hide in the mountains for a while before waiting for an opportunity to return north."

"Well …, it seems very reasonable." Ye Xiaotian looked at Xue Shuiwu, his eyes slightly pondered, but he immediately smiled, "Hehe, after escaping with me, Miss Shuiwu has become smarter."

Xue Shuiwu smiled, there was a trace of unnatural expression quietly flashed from her eyes.

Ye Xiaotian took two steps forward, took Yang Le Yao from her arms, said, "Let's go, hide in the mountains for a while, escape from their pursuit first."

Ye Xiaotian walked away with Le Yao in his arms, Xue Shuiwu looked at his back, bit her lips with some annoyance, angrily stamped her feet, and quickly chased after him.

…

In the boundless night, Ye Xiaotian, who was refreshed after taking a bath, was hiding in a cave in the dense jungle, roasting a brocade pheasant that he had caught with great difficulty.

There was a fire in the middle of the cave, the blazing fire swept away the cold air in the cave. Ye Xiaotian turned the brocade pheasant on the fire, the brocade pheasant sizzled above the fire, the fat of the brocade pheasant was sizzling, tempting people to salivate.

There was a mountain spring half a mile away from the cave, Xue Shuiwu slowly entered the cave with Le Yao, who had just taken a bath there. Le Yao's hair was loose, and she looked very cute.

Seeing them coming back, Ye Xiaotian said with a smile, "The chicken is almost cooked, Yaoyao, come and smell it."

"Wow, it smells so good!" Le Yao threw herself into Ye Xiaotian's arms, her eyes shining as she looked at the tempting roast chicken, swallowing her saliva, Ye Xiaotian said with a smile, "Don't rush, we still have to wait for a while. Hey, what is this? "

Suddenly, Ye Xiaotian saw a glossy yellow nameplate hanging on Le Yao's neck, not yet hidden in her clothes. Ye Xiaotian picked up the nameplate and looked at it, it was a small wooden nameplate made of boxwood, the grain was clear and delicate, but there was nothing carved on the front and back.

Ye Xiaotian asked curiously, "What is this?"

Le Yao said with a childish voice, "I don't know, mother said that I was born with this nameplate, and I will always wear it, I can't lose it. Brother Xiaotian, does this nameplate look good?"

Ye Xiaotian said, "It looks good, of course it looks good, our Yaoyao is so beautiful, what can't she wear?"

Hearing this, Le Yao became worried, she still remembered Brother Xiaotian said that girls who are beautiful when they are young will be ugly when they grow up, so she quickly emphasized, "The small nameplate looks good, but Yaoyao is not good, Yaoyao is ugly, very ugly."

Ye Xiaotian thought, "Yang Lin loves his daughter, there is no reason for him to be so stingy, with his wealth, even if he doesn't give his daughter a jade nameplate, it should be a gold lock, why would he give her an ordinary wooden nameplate?"

Because he was thinking, Ye Xiaotian didn't pay attention to Le Yao's childish words. Xue Shuiwu came back and took the grill from Ye Xiaotian's hands, she continued to roast the chicken, secretly glanced at Ye Xiaotian, then quickly looked away.

After leaving the city today, she had intentionally fled southwest. Not only did she want to shake off Skinny Yang's pursuit, but she also wanted to shake off Ye Xiaotian.

Actually, when she was in the city, she wanted to confess to Ye Xiaotian, but she didn't have the opportunity. Otherwise, even if she couldn't tell the whole truth to Ye Xiaotian, she would at least tell him half of it.

But now that she had the opportunity, she became timid. She was actually very clear about Ye Xiaotian's intentions, when she first pretended that she had nowhere to go, she used Ye Xiaotian's intentions, using his strength to escape Jingzhou.

At that time, she didn't know Ye Xiaotian's character, she just wanted to use him. Now, she felt that although Ye Xiaotian seemed to be frivolous, he was actually very warm-hearted. But because of his deep gratitude to her, she didn't know how to talk about it, so she wanted to leave without saying goodbye, but she didn't expect him to catch up so quickly. What should she do?

Xue Shuiwu just frowned in annoyance, she felt Ye Xiaotian's burning eyes staring at her. Xue Shuiwu was startled, touched her face, and said guiltily, "What's wrong?"

Ye Xiaotian smiled, revealing his white teeth, "Nothing. Why didn't you take a bath just now?"

Xue Shuiwu originally felt that Ye Xiaotian's gaze was a little strange, so she felt a little guilty, but after hearing this, she was relieved, secretly sighed in relief, and put on an embarrassed expression, "I … I don't think it's convenient for me to take a bath here."

Ye Xiaotian laughed, "You women are troublesome, I brought Yaoyao here to play, what's wrong with you taking a bath in the mountain spring? In this wilderness, there are either birds or beasts, are you afraid of being seen by them? Hehe, if you don't want to take a bath, then don't. Come, let's eat roast chicken. "

Yang Le Yao, who was staring at the roast chicken and sucking her fingers, heard this, immediately cheered, and sat down obediently.
