Chapter 54: Night Attack
At night, the stars and the moon were gone, everything in heaven and earth fell into silence, the candlelight flickered in the room of the post station, Xiahou Yichen sat alone, stretched out his hand to support his head and closed his eyes to recuperate, and the swaying light lengthened his figure reflected on the wall. There was no one around the station, and there was silence.
"Chen, don't you call me if there's a scene?" I only heard a bang, and two figures flashed in through the window, and then I saw Leng Xuran pulling Lin Xiaoyou to stand in the house.
The dark and bright eyes slowly opened, and his eyes unconsciously fell on the two hands he was holding, Xiahou Yichen's eyes suddenly tightened, ignoring Leng Xuran's complaints, and said directly: "What are you bringing her for?" The seemingly calm words were mixed with a hint of forbearance of anger.
I don't sleep at night, I really think she wants to come? Xiahou Yichen's words made Lin Xiaoyou feel very uncomfortable, as if she was coming with a dead face, and she didn't want to think about who pulled her here. Leng Xuran is really, she doesn't leave the door, why don't you pull her out of the window if she has nothing to do. Lin Xiaoyou withdrew his hand hatefully, comfortingly caressing the head of the little fox in his arms, feeling depressed for a while. finally took advantage of Xiahou Yichen's absence and wanted to help him, but he was pulled by him to join in the fun, and he was extremely bored. The little fox seemed to know her displeasure, stretched out his tongue and licked her hand, continuing to close his eyes and enjoy her touch.
"Didn't you say it, come and see the show." Leng Xuran never seems to be able to change his fun-loving nature, where there is excitement, he will make up wherever he is, forget if he can't go out during the day, he has to come out to do activities at night. His eyes swept around, and he sat on Xiahou Yichen's left side and asked with a smile, "Is everything arranged?" That Lord Liang should still be alive, right? "Xiahou Yichen's ability and means, Leng Xuran knows. He calculates people, as long as he digs a pit, someone will automatically jump. Many things are not that he can't do them, but whether he is willing to do them.
Seeing Lin Xiaoyou take his hand back, Xiahou Yichen's brows finally relaxed. "Hmph, dead bait is not useful." That's right, Liang Wenzhi is just a bait for him. As long as he and Leng Xuran are alive, some people will not give up. Originally, he planned to brake with static and wait for his opponent to come to the door. Now because of the appearance of Liang Wenzhi's bait, he suddenly has a better way to deal with it. Turn passive into active, and use Liang Wenzhi to lure the snake out of the hole. Whoever let those people's hands be too long and stretched out to him, and sent them to the door to seek death, he will not be able to complain that he will take all the orders.
"Did you hear that, Xiaoyou, there's a good show to watch, wait a minute, I'll let you see the demeanor of this son." Leng Xuran said excitedly to Lin Xiaoyou, as if he had seen the scene where Lin Xiaoyou was impressed by him in every way.
What's good or not, does it have anything to do with her? It was obviously Leng Xuran's own idea, but it was imposed on her. Lin Xiaoyou sighed weakly, and sat straight to the side to take care of him. It's all here, and she says what's the use of more.
Xiahou Yichen nodded, the corners of his mouth bloomed with an evil smile like poppies, and said slowly: "In this case, how about this king remove the people, take them back to rest, and make room for you to show your skills?" As he spoke, he got up and was about to leave.
Just kidding, remove everyone and leave him alone, a good tiger can't withstand a pack of wolves, where is this to let him show his skills, it will simply send him to death. Leng Xuran hurriedly grabbed him, and said with a smile: "Don't, don't, how can you leave the show you planned." Didn't I also want to take Xiaoyu out to breathe? β
Although the words were not explicitly stated, Leng Xuran immediately found the reason why Xiahou Yichen was angry. Lin Xiaoyu doesn't know martial arts, he knows it. brought her here, just out of curiosity, wanting to take the opportunity to test Xiahou Yichen's attitude towards her. After all, he had never seen anyone who dared to blatantly not take Xiahou Yichen in his eyes.
Hum! Breathability is fake, temptation is real! He felt that he was in a dangerous situation, and he deliberately let Lin Xiaoyou come in, and he dared to use such a naΓ―ve reason to perfunctory him, Xiahou Yichen didn't say anything, but he was very clear in his heart. Turning his head to look at Lin Xiaoyou, he asked lightly, "Do you want to go back?" β
Asking this question gave Lin Xiaoyu enough face and the right to choose, and he didn't drive her back directly without being domineering.
Lin Xiaoyou caressed the little fox boredly and shook her head, she was here anyway, she couldn't run in vain. couldn't help laughing: "It's okay, don't worry about me." Although she didn't understand what Leng Xuran was talking about, she still knew how many pounds and taels she had. As a spectator, of course, she will honestly handle her position, not asking for help, but asking for no trouble.
Xiahou Yichen hooked his lips slightly, from the bottom of his heart, he still hoped that Lin Xiaoyou could avoid it. After all, choosing her to be the princess had already pushed her to the edge of the storm, and if he could, he didn't want to pull her into a bloody battle. However, since he dared to give Lin Xiaoyou the right to choose, then he had the certainty of protecting her. With a smile on his face, he glanced at Leng Xuran casually, he had to settle this account sooner or later.
Touching that gaze full of deep meaning, Leng Xuran couldn't help but swish a cold back, it seemed a little too much today, subconsciously looked at Lin Xiaoyou, and sneered: "It's okay, Xiaoyou, this son will definitely protect you, don't be afraid." "The appearance of vows, it seems that if he says protection, there must be no problem.
is obviously his princess, and someone actually knows one by one, and the call is smoother than him. Suddenly, Xiahou Yichen's originally unhappy mind became even more dull. decided, as soon as these things are resolved, he must settle the account with Leng Xuran. lest he throw his eyebrows around with a hippie smile all day long, and hook people to his head.
"Thank you." Lin Xiaoyou thanked him angrily, but he didn't think that way in his heart, it would be good if Leng Xuran didn't come to harm her, how could he dare to expect him to protect her.
The three of them sat quietly, each thinking about his own thoughts. At the critical moment, I am afraid that only the little fox in Lin Xiaoyu's arms fell asleep without any scruples. I don't know how long I sat there, but a gust of wind blew in through the doors and windows, instantly extinguishing the candles in the room, and a strong murderous aura followed.
"Don't move. Don't be afraid. In the darkness, two voices sounded at the same time, stopping Lin Xiaoyou, who was about to get up.
She's just going to relight the candles, whether they have night vision or roundworms in her stomach, and they know what she's going to do before they get up.
Leng Xuran and Xiahou Yichen sat on one side, and Lin Xiaoyou sat opposite alone, relatively far away, and he couldn't see the expressions of the two at all at this moment. However, where they need to see at the moment, just by listening, you can know that they have a plan in their hearts. Forget it, she's better to wait with peace of mind.
The agility and vigilance of people who practice martial arts are already stronger than ordinary people, and the two of them saw Lin Xiaoyu sitting honestly on top of the position, and they also calmed down and paid attention to the situation outside. There were about twenty people with the sound of small footsteps, all heading towards the cell where Liang Wenzhi was being held.
"Since you're here to find someone, why don't you ask the king in person? Lord Liang: They have been waiting on the roof for a long time. Xiahou Yichen left his seat at some point and leaned leisurely against the door. Looking at the group of black-clad masked assassins with long swords in their hands, he kindly guided them to their goals.
was discovered before he could do it, could it be said that the matter was revealed? The masked assassin turned around in silence and looked up. In the middle of the roof corner, there were two figures hanging in the air, one of them was Liang Wenzhi, I saw that his clothes were torn, his bloodstained body was unbearable, and his low-hanging face was covered by loose hair, and he couldn't see his original appearance. The appearance of dying, obviously more air out and less air intake. The other next to him was a young man who had reported the news before, his scarred body was covered in blood, falling drop by drop, with his last breath in his mouth, until the blood dried up and died.
Needless to say, they were tricked. The masked assassins looked at each other without the slightest hint of panic. The masked assassin in the lead shouted, "Xiahou Yichen, take your life." Regardless of the exposed crisis, everyone carried their swords and attacked Xiahou Yichen. Their mission is not only to solve Liang Wenzhi, but also to take the opportunity to assassinate Xiahou Yichen and Leng Xuran.
Xiahou Yichen raised his eyebrows, looked at the approaching long sword without dodging or dodging, and smiled wantonly with a deep look in his eyes: "If you want, come and get it yourself." β
Before the masked assassin's sword was close and he didn't know where to hide, a group of black-clad guards dressed in the same outfit as the masked assassin quickly rushed out and killed the masked assassin. The scuffle between the Dark Guard and the Assassins, you go back and forth, and the situation is extremely intense. For a while, the thick smell of blood began to spread gradually along with the sound of weapons colliding.
Although there were many assassins, their martial arts were inferior to Xiahou Yichen's secret guards, and without his hands, all the twenty or so masked assassins were killed. Leng Xuran sat in the room with Lin Xiaoyou, drinking tea without a sip. It's not that he doesn't want to help, if he says it, it's like water spilled out, and if he says to protect Lin Xiaoyu, he will definitely not break his word. It is enough for Xiahou Yichen to deal with the things outside.
"Haha, King Chen is out of the horse, and there are no weak soldiers under the strong generals! Awesome, really awesome. However, a small fight is just a warm-up, so let's take it. Outside the door came the hoarse icy laughter of the masked assassin.
As the words fell, a large number of masked assassins poured into the post again, and the number of them was more than doubled. Surround Xiahou Yichen and those secret guards. His eyes are sharp, and his whole body reveals a cold and murderous aura.
Xiahou Yichen's eyes were deep and dark, and his charming handsome face could not see the slightest emotion. Until the end, it is not known who will kill the deer, so why rush to die.
"Kill me if you don't leave any left." As soon as the vicious words were released, the masked assassin fought with the Dark Guard again. The dark guards are one against two, although they are inferior in numbers, but everyone is a leader, their movements are clean and neat, and those who can kill with one move will never drag the mud and water. Xiahou Yichen shook his head, since they wanted to die so much, of course he had to fulfill it. In the blink of an eye, the long sword in his hand was in his hand, and his figure in the darkness flashed, blending in with the crowd. The long sword in his hand was like a spiritual snake, and he picked up the silver sword flowers and subtly beckoned to the assassin.
In the darkness, figures flickered and swords flew. In the fierce melee, the figures fell one after another, and Lin Xiaoyou at this time couldn't tell which side was his own person and which side was the enemy. Looking nervously outside, the feelings in my heart were a little fluctuating. She had never seen such a bloody scene when she was so big, especially the smell of blood in the air, which made her feel very uncomfortable, if she said that there was no fear in her heart, it would be a lie, I really hope it will end soon. couldn't help but say to Leng Xuran: "Don't you want me to see your skills, why don't you go and help?" β
"You were brought by me, and it is my duty to protect you." Leng Xuran sat still, grabbed the teacup on the table as he spoke, shook his hand and threw it out, only to hear "Bang!" It slammed into the head of a masked assassin who had just stepped through the door to assassinate them. The masked assassin suddenly rolled his eyes and fell limply, blood slowly flowing from his skull, which was terrifying.
Seeing this scene, Lin Xiaoyou panicked and didn't look around, a teacup can kill people, Leng Xuran is not a vegetarian when he thinks about it. Even though she had seen her mother commit suicide in front of her, she still couldn't bear the scene of flesh and blood flying in front of her. Life is really precious but despicable, a life that is fresh one second, and the next second it will fall to the ground. Trying to suppress the urge to feel sick to his stomach, he said: "I'm fine, you better go and help, the prince doesn't seem to have a lot of manpower." β
Leng Xuran smiled indifferently, is Xiahou Yichen the one who suffers? There don't seem to be many secret guards outside, but all of them are master elites. If he guessed correctly, this is just the surface, and there are definitely a lot of lurking people around the secret. He has always acted without leakage, and if he can do it without spending manpower and materials, he will never act at will. Often use the lowest cost to obtain the greatest benefits. So, don't worry at all. "Don't worry, fight him, the unlucky one must be the masked assassin."
Sure enough, a quarter of an hour later, the masked assassin was quickly eliminated, and the secret guards on Xiahou Yichen's side suffered few casualties. After taking his hand, Xiahou Yichen put his long sword into the sheath and ordered: "Nan Ze, send someone to clean up this place." β
Nan Ze, who was hidden in the secret guard, replied suddenly, "Yes, master." So he took the rest of the men with torches and began to clear the battlefield.
"Chen, I didn't expect that after such a long time of leisurely life, your martial arts will become even more powerful." Leng Xuran walked over quickly and said.
After a fierce battle, Xiahou Yichen stood in the bright firelight, and only then did he see that the clothes on his body were as spotless as before, without the slightest trace of unclean blood. Half of his face was unclear in the dark, and half of it was swaying in the faint light of the fire.
A living demon.
Glancing at him coldly, Xiahou Yichen ignored Leng Xuran's mixed words. Turning around and entering the house, I saw Lin Xiaoyou sitting there quietly with the little fox in his arms, lowering his head and not looking at the bloody scene outside. Although she was not too afraid, her pale face still betrayed her composure, thinking that she was a weak woman after all, and it was not bad to be able to do this, at least she was not like those precious daughters, who yelled in panic or fainted directly.
"It's okay, when they're done cleaning up outside, I'll take you back to rest." For some reason, seeing Lin Xiaoyu's feigned stubbornness, Xiahou Yichen lowered his posture and called himself me, not this king. Not only did he not use his identity as a prince to ridicule her, but he spoke in a tone with a trace of tenderness that even he had never noticed.
Lin Xiaoyu was already uncomfortable, so he naturally ignored Xiahou Yichen's transformation. He nodded slightly, eager to leave this bloody place immediately.
After this blow, it is believed that the opponent who wants to kill them will temporarily stop for a while. After these trivial matters are dealt with, Xiahou Yichen should return to Dragon Studios. Hey, when did his medicine come to an end? Thinking of this, Leng Xuran's face was a rare worry.
After the matter was dealt with, Xiahou Yichen and Leng Xuran left with Lin Xiaoyou. However, the calm of the post station did not last long, and I saw two daggers with a piercing sound of breaking the air, directly inserting into the hearts of Liang Wenzhi and the young man, and the two of them completely returned to the west.
Maybe they never dreamed that the life that they didn't lose in the hands of Xiahou Yichen ended up dying in the hands of their own people.
In the courtyard, three more men in black appeared at some point. One person in front, two in the back. Smelling the smell of blood in the air, the three of them frowned.
The man in black standing at the front, her hands hanging down weakly clenched into fists, and her suppressed anger made her body tremble slightly. Dozens of lives, dozens of masters, were solved by Xiahou Yichen in a moment, how can she not be angry, how can she not be angry. Since her debut, this is the most defeated and humiliating day she has ever made.
"Miss..."The man standing on the left had just spoken, but he didn't have time to speak.
I only heard the sound of "pop", and when the figure in front of him turned around, he suddenly slapped his backhand and hit him in the face firmly, "Who gave you the guts, knowing that you are in the plan, why don't you withdraw." The familiar voice is not who Siya is. At this moment, her bright eyes were full of anger and unwillingness, and she looked at the person in front of her angrily and asked.
The most important thing about assassination is to be taken by surprise, when the opponent is unprepared and unprepared. Not only that, but the main thing is to hit with one blow and not leave any room for the opponent to maneuver. And these fools of hers, knowing that they were in the scheme, were still in the trap of Xiahou Yichen's counterattack, and they were openly and honestly assassinated. The result? None of those sent were spared.
Who is Xiahou Yichen? Who is Leng Xuran? In the face of such a fierce enemy, even if you are fully prepared, you can't go head-to-head with them. Now it's a good thing, the assassination was not successful, but the lost soldiers who were hit by Xiahou Yichen were defeated.
"The subordinates are guilty, please ask the young lady to confess." Regardless of the burning pain on his face, the man in black knelt down in fear and begged for punishment.
"Hmph, you think your life is so valuable. Even ten deaths would not bring back the lives of those brothers. Siya scolded disdainfully. Turning around again, he didn't even want to give a little bit of charity to the person in front of him.
The man in black glanced at the body of the young man hanging on it, and lowered his head tightly, not daring to speak. How could he have expected Xiahou Yichen to take precautions, perhaps from the time they arranged for Xiahou Yichen to be around, he had already mastered their whereabouts. The reason why he deliberately pretended not to know was just to cover up his illusion and confuse the public so that he could secretly arrange a qiΔ, and this person really cannot be ignored.
"Miss, now is not the time to pursue responsibility, we are still thinking about it in the long run." The woman in black standing on the right side said aloud. Look at the tall and fat body is the fat woman who has done a lot of light work before.
"Hey" Siya sighed helplessly, the anger in her heart was vented, and she suddenly felt a lot easier. She didn't understand that since Xiahou Yichen had set up a game to wait for them to jump, how could she let them go lightly. Kindness to the enemy is cruelty to herself, and if it were her, she would not be merciful. "That's it, Qi Niang is right. The top priority is not to hold accountable, so go back first, and don't act rashly for the time being. β
"So what do we do?" Qi Niang asked puzzled.
"Wait for my news." Siya said quietly. Xiahou Yichen is unkind, don't blame her for being unjust. If he did not prepare a great gift for him, it would be in vain to take care of him.
"Yes." The two of them answered, and disappeared into the darkness in unison.
