Chapter Twenty-Four: A Troop of Centaurs
After the steppe wolves, a team of people quietly came to the front of the Yuelai Inn, looking at the lights in the distance and listening to the shouting from inside.
Wang Luchuan, the head of the horse, grabbed the reins of the horse and pointed to the Yuelai Inn: "In the past few years, such an inn has suddenly appeared, standing tall and able to live in peace, is there a secret in it?"
Tan Shuguang was half a horse's head behind: "Big boss, there is only one couple in the inn, one is lame, the other covers his face, there is nothing special, by the way, there is also a young man, who does not know martial arts, and can survive in the grassland desert, which can only be regarded as lucky." ”
Wang Luchuan frowned, he didn't believe in luck, but even more in strength, and speculated: "Could it be the eyes of the wolves, the Bank of China often has unexpected unreasonable hands, in the past few years, we have suffered a lot in his hands, in order to make peace with the grassland and the Central Plains, the Bank of China has arranged a lot of foreshadowing, and we can't help but guard against it." ”
Tan Shuguang sneered, born in the Central Plains, he has always looked down on the Mo family giant who took refuge in the Huns: "It's just a shrinking turtle hiding in Shengjing City, and his subordinates have inquired about the details of the couple, and they came to the grassland from the Central Plains four years ago, opened this inn, and did business with caravans." ”
Wang Luchuan reconsidered the matter before and after, there were no suspicious loopholes, and said in a low voice: "Then do it tonight!"
Tan Shuguang smiled and waved his hand, and the horse team disappeared into the night.
In the Yuelai Inn, after everyone ate the roasted whole sheep and drank the grassland mare's milk wine, Fan Yanqiu and Li Yuanhao whispered a few words, and then ordered everyone to rest and sleep.
The night of the grassland is shallower than the night of the Central Plains, a round of bright moon hangs in the sky, like a bright jade plate, the whole grassland is filled with a faint light color, as if covered with a thin veil, there is a wolf roar in the distance, the young lamb downstairs is cleaning up the mess all over the ground, occasionally see the remaining unfinished bones, he is hungry and can't care about much, the minced meat on the bones is cleaned clean, Xie shopkeeper stands on a high place, looks down indifferently at all this, and does not say a word.
In the middle of the night, Jian Ning'er crept out of the room and quietly walked downstairs, although it was already very light, but it still made a slight sound when she landed on the wooden board.
After a while, Liang Xiuxiu's head was exposed, she groaned slightly, and said to the little maid: "Go, follow, let Jian Ning'er die here tonight!"
The two followed, and the little maid at this time was no longer the cowardly and bullying appearance on weekdays, holding a dagger in her hand, her pace was steady, and her skills were extremely vigorous.
Li Yuanhao, who was lying behind the door, frowned, sighed faintly, saw Jian Ning'er's hurried figure from the crack in the window, and touched his brows: "None of them are good, but if you don't take that step, you are still a good person." ”
The body swept over the windowsill, Li Yuanhao's body was lighter, and he fell to the ground lightly, separated by a distance of 100 zhang, hanging behind Liang Xiuxiu and the little maid.
Jian Ning'er was in a hurry in front of her, but if you looked from the front, you could see Jian Ning'er with a smile on her face, she suddenly stopped, and Liang Xiuxiu and the little maid behind her also suddenly stopped, attached to the grassland, Liang Xiuxiu's heart trembled, could it be that she was discovered?
Slowly turning her head and turning around, Jian Ning'er looked behind her as far as the eye could see, and said, "Liang Xiuxiu, come out, I have already seen you." ”
Liang Xiuxiu fortunately no longer covered it up, got up and patted the dust on her body: "It turns out that you deliberately lured me out." ”
Jian Ning'er did not deny it, and generously admitted: "When I was in the oasis, I thought I could lead you out, but unfortunately you were not fooled, since this is the case, I can only try again, fortunately, this time you were fooled." ”
"Why?" Liang Xiuxiu suddenly asked: "You Jian Ning'er is kind-hearted, you have been smarter than me since you were a child, and the teacher of the private school praised you for having wisdom roots, saying that I am a piece of elm pimple, you do better than me everywhere, why do you still want to kill me?"
Jian Ning'er's eyes suddenly darkened: "The Jian family is already an empty shell, now the scenery on the outside, the inside is full of holes, this time going north to sell tea is the last fight of the Jian family, so there must be no mistakes, but this is also a way to cure the symptoms but not the root cause, if you want the Jian family to regain its glory, you can only marry the Fan family." ”
Liang Xiuxiu snorted coldly: "So, I have become an obstacle between you and Brother Fan, and you are going to kill me?"
"Didn't you want to kill me for that reason?" Jian Ning'er asked rhetorically, drawing a cold-glittering dagger from her hand.
Liang Xiuxiu didn't refute either, her nose curled: "Jian Ning'er, Jian Ning'er, you are smart and confused for a lifetime, and you want to kill me alone?" It's just a pipe dream!" She pointed to the little maid beside her: "Jian Ning'er, do you see? She is a master of the Four Grades Realm, she can kill you, and on weekdays, the two of us put on makeup, just to deceive you and make you take it lightly, and you are just a powerless little woman." ”
"Oh, is it?" The dagger in his hand pointed at Liang Xiuxiu from afar: "You have no power to restrain the chicken, why do you think so?"
Liang Xiuxiu's heart suddenly burst into surprise: "Could it be that you know martial arts?"
"What do you think?" As soon as Jian Ning'er's words fell, her figure quickly swept over, forming a white line in the moonlight.
The little maid raised her sword and took it hard, the two of them fought together, you come and go, the little maid does have a four-grade realm, and the dagger in her hand has a vague tendency to leave her hand, but Jian Ning'er on the opposite side has gone further, and it is already a six-grade realm in the cultivation world, a soft whistle sounded, Jian Ning'er fought with all her strength, the dagger carried the moonlight, broke through the little girl's defense, and the tip of the sword appeared on the little girl's chest.
Seeing that a move was successful, Jian Ning'er suddenly changed her move, her wrist was slightly twisted, the dagger handle was pointed at the little girl's chest, and the strength arrived, running through the little girl's body, and a small bag bulged up in the back of the shirt, and then it was smashed by the energy, the little girl's throat was sweet, and her face was pale, but after all, she did not take the life of the little girl, and the trick that was bound to take the life of the little girl failed.
Jian Ning'er couldn't bear the pain, the dagger fell to the ground, staggered to the ground, and her whole body was sore and weak: "There is poison on the dagger?"
"Ha! You Jian Ning'er is really still the kind Jian Ning'er before, and you can't be ruthless, but I, Liang Xiuxiu, am not a soft-hearted person!" Liang Xiuxiu walked to the little girl's side, took the dagger that had been quenched with poison, and slowly approached Jian Ning'er: "I'm different from you, you want to kill me for the Jian family, in order to get Brother Fan, I kill you much simpler, except for Brother Fan, because you have been better than me since you were a child, you have done better than me, everyone praises you, I Liang Xiuxiu is not convinced!" Why do you do the same thing, you Jian Ning'er do it, I Liang Xiuxiu can't do it, why!"
In the end, Miss Liang Jiasan's face was full of hideousness.
