Chapter 398: Under the Rain of Arrows
Xue Luo and Xiao Tong stood side by side, she looked loose in his black clothes, and Xiao Tong wore a silver cloak, which seemed to gather the moonlight and looked dazzling.
The city gates are closed at the moment, the lights of thousands of homes have been extinguished, and the streets are very quiet.
It was already time, Mu Jin was late, and the eyes of the two began to change.
"It's cool at night. Xiao Tong said, after getting off the carriage for a while, her face looked very nervous.
"I'm not cold. Xue replied, a little absent-minded.
Xiao Tong didn't know what was wrong with her, as if something had happened.
"I'm just saying, it's a cool night...... Shuang, what are you thinking?" he asked, smiling.
Only then did she catch the attention of the snowcoat and turn around.
frowned slightly, and a pair of light blue eyes had some sorrow in them.
Should I tell him about Yu Yao and Lin Zhanyan?
Xiao Tong's face was leisurely and complacent, and he seemed to have no pressure or worry at all, but what was she doing for him in these little things?
"Mujin, will he come tonight?" she said.
Xiao Tong smiled, with confidence and momentum between his eyebrows: "If he doesn't come, Wang Yan will also be in my hands, you don't have to be afraid." Mu Jin will not toast, eat or drink. ”
"I have never doubted you, what kind of person Mu Jin is, his chaotic past, as long as it is exposed, he and Mu Bo will not have a chance to stay in the capital, let alone achieve any great things. ”
Xue Yu smiled, she naturally knew that Mu Jin was not worth mentioning.
"You are a powerful master, of course there is nothing to be afraid of. ”
She said again, smiling with crooked eyebrows.
Xiao Tong leaned over, put his hands on her cheeks, and raised her eyes to himself.
Xue Luo stared at him, there was some interest in his eyes, but the peach blossom eyes did not seem to be amorous, and it seemed that he was the only one.
Xiao Tong: "What are you thinking? Why don't you tell me?"
Don't think about changing the subject, that's what he said.
With a sly turn of gaze, the snow coat couldn't stand it.
said gently: "I went to see Lin Zhanyan, do you know that he and Yu Yao are brothers and sisters?"
"No, it's not. Xiao Tong replied involuntarily.
Xue Yu said strangely, "Why not?"
"Yu Yao is not Yu Wen's biological daughter, she is just a distant relative. Xiao Tong put his back hand and said clearly.
"Yu Wen didn't care about Lin Qingqi's life and death, but he thought that Yu Yao would marry Li Xun to be prosperous and wealthy, but Yu Yao was not his own daughter?" Xue Yu said lightly, her eyes indifferent.
Xiao Tong looked at the distance, as if he had carefully studied the wisps of the Lin family, and continued: "Cao'er, you don't know, you ...... What kind of deal did the people of the Yu family make with the emperor?"
"Don't worry about me, that family, I never cared about anyone. Xue Cao replied, thinking about the group of people in the Lin family, it seemed that she was about to have a chill down her spine.
Xiao Tong: "The Lin family, in the past, was surnamed Yu, the richest man in Jiangnan, you should know this." Back then, Yu Fang wanted to stay in the capital as an official, and Yu Wen didn't want to stay in the capital, he guessed that the emperor would one day covet their family's property and would get rid of them.
Even if he dies, he has to leave the capital, and the emperor needs someone to collect money for him, and the Yu family must leave someone in the capital, which is a death order. Yu Fang only thought about it for one night, and left an agreement with the emperor. ”
"I've heard a little, you don't have to worry about my feelings, actually, I can tell you something. Xue Cao smiled faintly and said.
Xiao Tong was curious: "What is it?"
"Lin Fang is actually not my father, and I have no blood relationship with the Lin family. She said softly, entangled for so long, in fact, a group of people who have nothing to do with her?
"Is this true? Who are your parents?" Xiao Tong had already guessed in his heart, but he hadn't checked on her, and for some reason, he always felt that everything about Xuefu should have been known from her, not from reading the scriptures.
Xue Yu stepped forward, and she seemed to be the only one in the quiet capital, and every word was loud.
"My mother's name is Xue Yuan, but I don't know where she is from, where my hometown is, or who my father is. However, it will never be Lin Fang. ”
Xiao Tong: "I also don't think it's Lin Fang, you are completely different from him." ”
As he spoke, he hugged her shoulders steadily, with a comforting smile, but his heart was entangled.
"What's the difference?" asked Yuki Coat.
Looking at Xiao Tong, his eyes suddenly dodged, and he replied in a low voice: "Character, although you are as eloquent and sharp as him, you are not like his class, you can't change the habits of a businessman, and you are profitable everywhere."
I used to think that you were just high-minded, unwilling to talk to others, and rejected people thousands of miles away. ”
Yukiki asked, "Oh, has anything changed now? ”
"On the surface, it's the same, but you know what you want and will fight for it, and you won't do anything hurtful, I'm different, I'll do anything for the purpose. ”
Xiao Tong said an ugly sentence in her life, and she listened to it and saw the pain in his eyes.
She understands and is familiar with what kind of pain this is, Xiao Tong's hands are not clean.
Xue Yu said lightly: "I think, we still have a lot to say to confess, but now is not the time, let's relax, don't you want to enlighten me? Why are you both unhappy?"
"I don't know ......," Xiao Tong said astringently.
Xue Cao smiled at the other two people, and greeted her, Xiao Tong approached her imperceptibly, looking at Mu Jin and Mu Silk in front of her vigilantly.
"I'm sorry to be late. Miss Junwang Lin should be in a hurry, right?" Mu Jin said with a smile.
His face was calm, and he couldn't see any clues, Xiao Tong looked behind them, and there was no one else, while Mu Bo was nervous, holding the burden in his hand.
"We're in a hurry, it's okay, anyway, it's not our responsibility for you in front of the emperor, it's okay. Xue Cao said coldly, his eyes on the wooden silk.
Xiao Tong: "You are late, do you know that if the emperor's people are here and you haven't seen anyone, you will be useless!"
Hearing this, Mu Jin couldn't laugh anymore.
The person who was blocked by Xiao Tong last night couldn't get out of bed, and his words still had weight.
Mu Jin: "Hehehe, the king of the county is really joking, we are indeed late, you can bear with me." ”
"King Jun, is it safe here? If the emperor also knows that people are outside here, why don't you just ask us to send them over?" Mu Bo raised his head and asked, silently walking in front of Mu Jin.
Xiao Tong looked at the white-faced scholar in front of him with a playful taste, and he really didn't know how to talk to him.
Where did Mu Bo get the guts? Things are now in the way, and he still wants to ask such a question to make Xiao Tong angry?
"Mu Silk Gongzi can rest assured, we have listened to the emperor's orders to pick up Wang Yan, where to pick it up is our business, the emperor does not know, so you will not be exposed, don't worry. Xue Cao's faint explanation did not make Xiao Tong angry.
Mu Bo looked at her and knew that she was the woman who followed the king of the county in his brother's mouth, and he was also surprised that the snow coat became like this.
"On the side of the King of Shu, how do you guarantee to introduce us?" Mu Bo asked again.
Mu Jin's face has changed, he has already talked about this matter, but this stupid brother of his has to repeat it again, pretending to be a big guy?
Xue Yu looked at Mu Jin's disdainful eyes, and just said gently: "I believe that you have already received the olive branch thrown by the King of Shu, what Xiao Tong and I can do is to look at the form of Jingzhou, you must believe in us and wait for the opportunity." ”
"This is a friendship with the serial county king, big brother, don't worry!" Mu Jin couldn't help but persuade.
Mu Bao's eyes turned from his heart, and then turned on Xue Xuan's face, and finally stared at Xiao Tong, and said fiercely: "Your Highness Xie appreciates! Mu Jin, people!"
Hearing him say this, both of them watched Mu Silk hand the burden to Mu Jin, Mu Jin was relieved, took the burden, suddenly disappeared into the night, and walked away.
Xiao Tong: "Hasn't Wang Yan arrived yet?"
"No, he was the first to arrive. Mu Silk replied.
Xue Cao guessed, "Did you lock him up?"
Mu Bo's face turned, and he replied very mysteriously: "Yes." ”
Xiao Tong was strange: "Locked up?"
"No, it is a special cage, based on the large animal cage in the troupe, transformed into a cage for people, and it is different from the prison, the people in it are locked with a chain on the neck, waist, hands and feet, people can not move, can only stand upright, it is a kind of cage that can never escape. ”
Xue Cao explained.
"Because this kind of cage is extremely troublesome, there is a whole burden on the key alone, and it is impossible for people to escape. We used this to Guan Wang Yan, but we were also afraid that he would find someone to save him. Mu Bo added.
Xiao Tong's face was full of surprise, this ...... Too much?
Xue Yu comforted him with his eyes, and after waiting for a while, Mu Jin led a person and walked slowly.
Everyone looked over there together, but they couldn't see the man clearly, they only felt thin and tall.
Xue Cao said, "The people are coming. ”
Before the words fell, his body was thrown down at once, and Xiao Tong's shout sounded in his ears at the same time!
"Squat!
His voice was urgent, and Xuefu knew that something must have happened, and she struggled to look ahead, and the wooden silk fell right in front of them!
A bloody face is right in front of Xuefu's eyes!
"Brother!" Mu Jin's roar was accompanied by the continuous vomiting of blood from the wooden silk in front of him, and Xue Yu looked at a long arrow on his back in horror! Ignoring Xiao Tong's pull, he stretched out a hand and put it on the tip of Mu Bao's nose.
"Let's go!" Xiao Tong shouted anxiously, seeing that she was still on the ground, he anxiously pulled her up and hugged her in his arms, looking around sharply.
The guards in ambush were all dispatched, but they didn't know the location of the archers, so they could only surround Xiao Tong first, and the snow robe looked at Mu Jin through a gap, and he pulled the person behind him to the side, confirming that no one would kill him!
If Mu Jin wants to protect Wang Yan alone, he must keep running, the two must be extremely close, and the iron chain is an obstacle!
"Let Mujin not move, send someone over!" Xue Yu said calmly.
Xiao Tong: "No, all of them must protect you, there are not many archers, and now it seems that there is only one." ”
Xue Yu said firmly: "But they are coming for Wang Yan, if Wang Yan dies, how can the emperor explain it, Jingzhou will be in chaos." ”
"Is it Li Xunduan?" asked Xiao Tong.
Keep looking for the location of the bow and arrow just now!
It's a city gate, there are no tall buildings, but the streets are very chaotic, and it's hard to find at night.
"Mujin, you run here!" Xue Cao shouted at him.
When Mu Jin heard this, he shouted, "No! this chain will stop him, and he can't escape!"
"Where's your people, who's following you?" said Snow Jacket angrily.
Who Mu Jin brought here, now she doesn't know at all, whether he brought other people, or Li Xunduan followed her, or the emperor himself revealed that she was in chaos!
"He and I didn't come all the way, we didn't have anyone to follow!" Mu Jin confirmed.
Xue Xuan's heart was half cold, so Wang Yan's side, I don't know if anyone is following?
"You...... Ahh
"There! Go!" Xiao Tong instructed the two of them to go in that direction!
Mu Jin: "Brother, don't give me Yin, you have the ability to come to me!"
He was already angry, and he couldn't wait to throw Wang Yan away, and ran directly to save Mu Bao!
If he is in chaos here, Wang Yan will not be able to save it!
"Mu Jin, don't move, knock Wang Yan unconscious and lie on the ground!" Xiao Tong came up with an idea, he knew that the man had already evacuated from a higher position, and lying down now was the only way.
Poor wooden silk, that man is going to use him to force wood gold.
Yuki: Shouting "Listen to him, quick!"
Mu Jin glanced at Wang Yan hesitantly, and was about to make a move to knock him unconscious! Unexpectedly, Mu Bo's motionless body was hit by another arrow, this time he was still hit in the back, and he was already motionless.
Mu Jin didn't hesitate now, and immediately knocked Wang Yan unconscious, let go of the chain, and rushed towards Mu Bao!
Xue Yu secretly said in his heart that it was not good, there were still people in high places, and this Wang Yan couldn't keep it!
"Stupid!" Xiao Tong was also angry, and immediately sent someone to rush towards Wang Yan!
Xue Cao suddenly said to Xiao Tong at the moment: "You have to be careful, rush to Wang Yan's side, there will definitely be arrows, go and come back quickly!"
Her eyes were very bright, but she was not afraid, she only made her words clear, and watched the three guards in the past go to the general, Xiao Tong rushed over at an extremely fast speed without hesitation!
As soon as he left, Xue Yu immediately said to the people around him: "Pay attention to the arrows, quickly!"
Before the words fell, more than a dozen arrow feathers shot towards the snow robe!
She seemed to hear the sound of breaking the air in her ears, followed by the sound of swords slashing and arrows raining down, and the crackling sound was deafening!
Mu Jin rushed to Mu Bao, but there was no movement on their side, he glanced at the snow robe, and was about to rush up to help, but behind Wang Yan, there were already ten thousand arrows!
