Chapter 202: Battle
When the stalemate between the two sides continued, Xue Ying was not idle, first rummaging through the boxes and cabinets in the house, and then drinking tea and eating snacks very leisurely, which got several glances from Xue Qi. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 info
Xue Ying won't care about this dissatisfaction, she is obviously going to experience a big battle next, how can she not replenish some energy?
In the dead of night, there was a sharp and piercing whistling sound outside, and then the sound suddenly exploded, like someone had set off a huge firework.
Suddenly there was a scream from the Praetorian Guards, who had been waiting outside the door, and then a random arrow nailed to the floor through the door panel. Xue Ying flipped over the table in front of her and hid behind the table. Looking up, Xue Qi lightly knocked the stray arrows that came to him away, and most of his attention was still on the two people in the back room.
Thankfully, it didn't take long for the arrows to stop, but the screams outside the door continued, sounding like the Praetorian Guards were killing each other.
Yes, King Sui rebelled against the emperor's Praetorian Guard, but the emperor also buried his own people in the rebellious Praetorian Guard, and this scene was really chaotic.
According to the agreement, the Praetorian Guards could not come to this cliff, but these were put up by King Sui himself, so it was not the emperor's fault - this emperor was really terrible pedantic, he declared war and insisted on keeping his promises, and then turned around and let King Sui jump into the pit by himself, which was not too troublesome.
Immediately, several more fireworks signals burst open, with long and short intervals, and Xue Ying was trying to analyze the meaning of these signals, when the door connecting the inner room suddenly exploded, and then a figure rushed out.
Xue Ying hurriedly crawled to the corner of the wall, but it was useless, the firepower of the two people fighting was too fierce, and it didn't take long for the things in the room to be almost all broken, if she hadn't learned some self-protection skills, it was estimated that she would have been blown to pieces like those tables and chairs.
Despite this, she was not having a good time, and the continuous sword qi and palm wind forced her out of breath, and the shattered wood chips on her face and body were scraped several times.
After destroying the house to the ground, the two men finally jumped out into the clearing. The night wind blew, and the thick smell of blood in the air made Xue Ying retch, and then she realized that the Praetorian Guards outside had all fallen in the cannibalism.
She would not be naïve to think that this was because the forces loyal to the emperor and loyal to the king of Sui happened to be equal among these people, and the most likely reason was that the emperor kept a strict secret about which of them was loyal to him, and even they didn't know which one was his own, so when the emperor ordered to kill the people around them, they could only carry out indiscriminate attacks, and the result was that it was not clear who among them was friend or foe, and the only possibility to survive was to kill everyone else.
The end result: no one survived.
Thinking of this, Xue Ying shivered, and then found that her body was almost frozen. It's no wonder that the wind is already strong on this cliff, and she took off her thick coat just now to climb up, can she not be cold now?
Although the living room was already in shambles, the inner room did not suffer much damage, and both King Sui and Xue Qi deliberately controlled their attacks on that side. Xue Ying couldn't help but become more and more curious about the woman behind this door: What kind of person would make Xue Qi so jealous that he didn't even dare to look at it?
Could it be that this is the woman that the Queen Mother said originally belonged to the emperor, but was given to King Sui under the intervention of the Queen Mother?
No wonder the sound alone is so soft.
"Boom!" The direct battle between Xue Qi and King Sui became more and more intense, and the weapons were connected to each other, stirring up strong waves, and for a while, the sand and rocks were flying, and the entire mountain cliff shook a few times.
Xue Ying raised her hand to block the oncoming flying stones, and felt a suffocation in her chest in the roar in her ears, and spit out a mouthful of blood with a "wow" - are these two still people, she, who is far away from the battlefield, has been injured internally, and they are still fighting?
There was limited space on this cliff, so she could only cover her ears and shrink into a ball as much as she could, waiting for the big battle to pass. After some time, the floor under her swayed, and she came back to her senses to find that the two men had stopped.
The sky was dark, there were no stars and no moon, and Xue Ying didn't know what the outcome would be when she couldn't see her fingers, but she heard the slight sound of wood breaking in her ears and told her that this wooden house wouldn't last long. She groped her way over and knocked on the door, "Hey, are you still in there? This wooden house is about to fall......
As he spoke, the wooden door was opened with a "babble", and a woman appeared in front of her with a lantern, the light and shadow swaying, her figure was graceful, and her face was covered with a veil. Although she couldn't see it clearly, those watery eyes like autumn water had already made Xue Ying's heart involuntarily skip a beat.
In the dark, a dagger slashed silently, and the hairpin in Xue Ying's hand was handed over with a "ding", and then the two had already gone through several moves, and the moment the lantern rolled to the ground, Xue Ying grabbed the other party's dagger and put it on her neck:
"Don't move!"
"You're not a boudoir daughter, Murong encourages him to lie!"
"Who stipulates that the daughter of the boudoir can't practice martial arts?
"Are you really Xue Qi's daughter?" the woman asked in a trembling voice.
"It's true that I'm his daughter by blood, but my current identity is the lord of Shunrou. The floor under her feet shook a few more times, and Xue Ying picked up the lantern with her toes to urge her to catch it, barely illuminating the road ahead, "Hurry up!"
"No, you're not. My child is his only heir, and you don't deserve ......."
Xue Ying was distracted for a moment: King Sui has a child?
"Can'er!" a voice sounded, and then Xue Ying was horrified to find that it came from the bottom of the cliff. It turned out that Xue Qi and King Sui had both fallen, no wonder they were so quiet just now.
"Don't come here!" Although she couldn't see it, Xue Ying still tensed her nerves.
"Was your kung fu taught by Princess Yunyang?" the woman asked again, "Why is she standing on Murong Mian's side?" is it because I didn't keep my promise?"
"What promise?" Xue Ying cautiously explored the way, wanting to move to a relatively safe place.
"The Devil's Curse...... I made a deal with the devil to save Ah Song, so I can't be with Ah Song......" The woman has fallen into a daze, and what she said has no logic at all. Xue Ying didn't want to pay attention to it, but she suddenly cried and grabbed her hand, "I was wrong, I was wrong! I killed our child......"
"Can'er, it was Murong Mian who killed our child, and it has nothing to do with you!" King Sui suddenly shouted, intending to wake up the woman who had fallen into a semi-insane state.
The other party didn't care about the dagger around his neck at all, and the struggle became more and more intense, Xue Ying immediately knocked her unconscious, and pulled her to the ground with all his might.
"Don't come here!" Stepping on the ground, Xue Yingti's heart in mid-air finally settled down a little, but the invisible King Sui was still a threat.
"Little girl, is it really the Queen Mother who asked you to come? she really wants me to tell you the secret?" King Sui's voice drifted around, making it impossible to distinguish his direction.
