Chapter 658 Heart of Falling Snow (2)
Xin'er wanted to find an opportunity to connect with Luoxue, but Luoxue and Mu Lingtian were inseparable, and Mu Lingtian would hardly let Luoxue go too far from his sight, and protected Luoxue well, so Xin'er followed her for two days and didn't find a chance to say a word to Luoxue.
Because the path taken by Mu Lingtian and Luoxue was relatively remote, Xin'er did not dare to expose her whereabouts in order not to be discovered by Mu Lingtian, seeing that today was the half-moon period, Xin'er still had no chance to get close to Luoxue, and even a note had no chance to pass it to Luoxue, so Xin'er had no choice but to decide to sneak attack Mu Lingtian.
Although it is a hot summer day, the weather in the north is indeed much cooler, and the breeze is gentle, which makes people's hearts much calmer.
Mu Lingtian naturally chose a relatively sparsely populated road, so he rode a horse with the falling snow and slowly walked on a road without people, except for the shallow sound of horses' hooves, all that was left was the occasional sound of birds and beasts.
The surrounding scenery is pleasant, Mu Lingtian looked at the indifferent expression in front of him, as if he was not interested in everything, and in those dark eyes, the only thing that might be was to reach the place where Luo Xue said he wanted to go.
Luo Xue was still wearing a white dress, riding a horse, following closely next to Mu Lingtian, occasionally peeking at Mu Lingtian, the corners of her mouth were filled with that faint smile, and she was both happy and reluctant in her heart.
"Whoosh-"
A cold arrow flew up from the grass, and then among the weeds on both sides of the road, twenty or thirty masked black-clothed people jumped up, holding strong crossbows in their hands and carrying swords on their backs, shooting crossbow arrows towards Mu Lingtian.
No matter when, Mu Lingtian would not let down his vigilance, and after the Hidden Sword Villa, Mu Lingtian had always been worried that Ye Xun would have any conspiracy, so even if he had already arrived in the north, he still didn't dare to be careless.
Hearing the movement, Mu Lingtian's vigilant eyes, squinted his eyes, and showed murderous aura, he pulled out the remnants on the horse's back, stepped lightly on the horse's back, and flew up, his internal force condensed, and he waved the remnants.
I saw that in mid-air, it was as if there were two Mu Lingtian wielding sword moves, and then countless sword blades that stabbed, slashed, and swirled wildly flew wildly, flying towards the crossbow arrows.
"Whoosh"
With the clear sound of the sword, the blade docked with the overlying crossbow arrows.
"Bang bang bang-"
The power of the blade shattered the bolts, then exploded, kicking up a puff of smoke and dust, and the powerful air currents spread from the internal force knocked down all the other bolts.
These black-clothed masked people, although they are similar to other black-clothed people, their bows and crossbows do reveal their identities, Luo Xue recognized these as his dead soldiers at a glance, and then frowned, and his heart sighed, only then did he remember that today was the half-moon period, and knew that Xin'er must want to create an opportunity for himself to sneak attack Mu Lingtian.
Looking at Mu Lingtian above his head, how could the snow fall in his hands, his reluctant eyes showed a trace of panic, and he couldn't help but worry about what he should do if Mu Lingtian fought with his own people, should he watch Mu Lingtian kill all his people? Or expose his identity?
This sneak attack on Mu Lingtian was to remind the half-moon period of falling snow, and secondly, to create an opportunity to sneak attack Mu Lingtian with Luoxue and complete the task for Luoxue, but Xin'er didn't know Luoxue's thoughts.
Of course, Xin'er is also among the men in black, holding a long sword in her hand, paying attention to Luoxue's every move, as long as Luoxue makes a move, then Xin'er will be desperate to create opportunities for Luoxue.
After a round of arrow rain, all the black-clothed people did not continue to make moves, but just retreated a foot back according to the plan, avoiding the range of Mu Lingtian's sword blade and retreating to a safe distance, it seemed that they didn't want to confront Mu Lingtian head-on, nor did they want Mu Lingtian to pursue.
Mu Lingtian saw the man in black retreating, frowned slightly, and muttered in his heart, I don't know what the situation is, although he wants to attack, but the distance between the man in black is a little too far, in the situation where the situation of the enemy and us is unknown, Mu Lingtian did not dare to act rashly, afraid of the way of the man in black, so he had to hold the remnant in his hand, stand on horseback, and look at the man in black besieging him with an indifferent gaze, wanting to see what tricks the other party will do.
The smoke and dust had gradually dissipated, and Xin'er stood in the crowd and glanced at Luoxue, her eyes full of warlike intent and her purpose was stated.
But Luo Xue frowned deeply, holding the reins in her hand tightly, and the tenderness in her beautiful eyes exposed her heart, her mind was blank, and the only thing she thought in her heart was how she should face Mu Lingtian if her identity was exposed.
At this moment, Luo Xue deeply felt a kind of dependence, a kind of fear, he never thought that he would care so much about one thing, looking at Xin'er's eyes, Luo Xue's heart seemed to jump out, the kind of heart that was about to leave Mu Lingtian was full of fear of falling snow, so that on the peerless face of the city, there was a trace of panic that pretended to be calm, and that appearance was really touching and pitying.
Xin'er saw that Luoxue didn't make a move, and suddenly determined her thoughts in her heart, the current goal has been achieved, she is powerless to change anything, and if it really starts, the outcome can be imagined, so Xin'er sighed lightly, frowned slightly, and raised her hand to signal everyone to retreat, planning to find an opportunity again, and make plans after contacting Luoxue.
The man in black saw Xin'er's gesture, neatly put away the crossbow, placed it on his waist, and quickly dispersed around.
And Mu Lingtian thought that these men in black were here to kill him, but when he saw the men in black retreating, he couldn't help but feel confused in his heart, he didn't know why this group of people in black retreated so easily after attacking so simply, which really made people a little puzzled, and his deep eyes looked at Xin'er who raised his hand to command, revealing a trace of young confusion.
Xin'er glanced at Luo Xue with a sad brow, her worried eyes flashed with a hint of murderous aura, she stared back at Mu Lingtian, and happened to meet Mu Lingtian's indifferent eyes swept by her low eyebrows, then took a step back, turned around slowly, and left quickly.
This sneak attack, like a joke, ended inexplicably, which really made Mu Lingtian a little confused, I don't know if these black-clothed people are unwilling to confront him head-on? Or is there another purpose?
Now that the man in black had left, Mu Lingtian didn't think much about it, jumped lightly, landed on the horse's back, put the remnants back into the scabbard, glanced sideways at Luoxue, saw Luoxue's eyes a little worried, a little sluggish, and asked puzzledly: "Luoxue?" Are you alright?"
Luo Xue came back to her senses when she heard the voice, her beautiful eyes looked at Mu Lingtian, and she suddenly forgot all her troubles in her heart, only Mu Lingtian was in her eyes, she raised the corners of her mouth slightly, and said with a faint smile: "No... It's just that... These people... Could it be that these people are afraid of the child?"
Mu Lingtian looked at the direction where Xin'er left and shook his head, he didn't understand.
