Chapter 5 The rain relieves the crisis, and the departure and return
The night before, He Xuxing walked to the vicinity of the Prince's Mansion in a daze and watched a play with a tail and no head, and was inexplicably chased by the guards of the Prince's Mansion for several streets. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć info He Xuxing really can't think about it at the moment, and can't figure out why the masked man last night is going to stage an old scene again today. After yesterday's change in the prince's mansion, the security has naturally become more and more stringent, and the fate of the masked man breaking into the palace again can be imagined.
At this time, the masked man had fallen into a heavy encirclement, and he could vaguely hear a team of people and horses coming from the palace, and the sound of neat footsteps came from far and near, although he did not arrive, but it was like a sharp sword hanging in people's hearts. Ren masked man has strong martial arts and exquisite body skills, but after all, manpower is sometimes poor, and his physical strength is fading day by day, and he is a step slower between dodging, and he has already received a kick in his back. The masked man was extremely agile and witty, and in his stumbling position, he actually jumped forward with the force of this kick, temporarily jumped out of the encirclement, and ran to a corner.
The masked man's plan should be to take the opportunity to jump on the roof, and walk away so high that he will naturally get rid of the endless entanglement of the brigade guards. The masked man's right foot exerted slightly, and his body rose up, even after such a dangerous fight, his body was also chic and elegant at this moment, He Xu Xing couldn't help but secretly scream in his heart. Seeing that the masked man would be able to turn evil into good fortune and become auspicious in death, he heard a "whoosh" sound of breaking the air. He Xuxing saw it clearly, it was originally a feather arrow, and with its trajectory and the masked man's jumping figure, it should have shot towards the masked man's back, He Xuxing sighed lightly in his heart, expecting that the masked man was probably in a catastrophe.
The light skills on the rivers and lakes, whether they make people leap higher or make people dodge more briskly, cannot escape the existing natural laws. Jumping into the air, with no more strength on your feet, your body is no longer as flexible as the ground, and this is the most dangerous moment. Since ancient times, I don't know how many fledgling rookies and even famous people have been injured or killed like this. The sigh in He Xuxing's heart came from this.
The masked man was in mid-air, and apparently heard the sound of feathered arrows breaking through the air, and before he could turn around, a white satin shot out from the cuff of his right hand, stretched into a straight line, and struck the edge of the wall, and with the force transmitted by the silk, his body sank violently, and made his body turn sideways, and his back was up. At this moment, the feathered arrow just passed close to the chest and hit the wall heavily, more than an inch into the wall. The masked man was about to land at this moment, and before Kankan was about to land, the masked man's right hand quickly slapped to the ground, stopping the rapidly falling figure, and his left hand was pushed to the ground, using the power of the ground to rotate his body for a circle, and then stood up steadily.
He Xu Xingzheng pinched a handful of sweat for the masked man, and when he saw that the masked man was in an impossible situation, he couldn't help but relax and his heart moved. However, at this time, the masked man was not comfortable, and secretly screamed in his heart, "Heaven is going to kill me". It turned out that after such a delay of the feathered arrow, the masked man fell into the siege of the guards again, and his physical strength was exhausted by this. There was no shortage of skilled guards among the guards, and a few archers were set up on the perimeter, and when the masked man rose from the ground, he was shot with a thousand holes, and in the distance a troop of men and horses loomed in the distance, hurrying forward with torches. He Xuxing saw the masked man fall into the siege again, and although he had never really met him, he had a good feeling, so he couldn't help but feel anxious and worried about it.
When He Xuxing was fascinated, he suddenly felt a chill on his face, and when he looked up, it turned out that it was raining in the sky, and it was getting bigger and bigger. He Xuxing expected that the masked man would not be able to fly even if he put on his wings tonight, and it would be impossible to escape the possession of the tiger, and when he saw the people and horses coming from afar getting closer and closer, he had a trace of fear, so he quietly slipped off the roof and went in the direction of the inn. He Xuxing couldn't bear to see the masked man either dying under the knife or being captured alive due to physical exhaustion, so he desperately blocked his ears with his hands to keep out the faint shouts of killing and muffled snorts from afar.
The rain was getting heavier and heavier, and after a while, his hair was already wet, and the rain flowed down his cheeks towards his neck, He Xuxing felt a trace of chill coming into his body, and calmed down a little in his heart, slowed down his pace, and walked forward with his head down. Just as He Xuxing was walking forward unhurriedly, the light in front of him flashed away, and after a while, he heard a rumbling sound, He Xuxing raised his eyes and looked at the sky, it turned out to be lightning and thunder. He Xuxing suddenly remembered a sentence that Sun Jingjing often said on his lips, "Winter thunder shakes summer rain and snow, heaven and earth are together, but dare to be with the king", and couldn't help but stop and look behind him. By the light of lightning, He Xuxing seemed to be able to see the fierce fight in the distance and the figure of the masked man constantly struggling and declining in despair.
Seeing that it was difficult to get rid of the entanglement, and seeing the guards in the distance arriving one after another, the masked man was already half cold in his heart, and shouted in his heart, "My life is over", and there was little left of fighting spirit and momentum. Against others, strength is important, but the fighting spirit and momentum cannot be ignored, just like the battlefield confrontation, "one blow, then decline, three and exhaustion". The masked man had no fighting spirit and momentum here, only felt that his body was stiff like a stubborn stone, and his eyelids began to become heavy.
The soldiers who rushed to see that the masked man had been surrounded by groups, and there was no need or space to go, and seeing that the masked man's struggle and resistance were getting weaker and weaker, so they just surrounded the outer circle to prevent the masked man from escaping, and even the original archers also withdrew, and watched the masked man fight the trapped beast with great interest. The masked man fought and retreated, his back against the corner, the silk in his right hand slashed beyond recognition by the sword in the guard's hand.
The masked man's left foot suddenly slipped, and he was about to get up with his right foot, but unexpectedly, he fell to the ground with a sore slump. Seeing the guards coming like a tidal wave, the masked man looked up at the night sky and sighed slightly, closed his eyes, put his right hand in his arms, and tightly grasped the handle of the dagger. At this moment, he suddenly heard a commotion in front of him, and the masked man opened his eyes and looked forward, but saw that the formation of the guards was in chaos, and someone had forced a passage through the periphery of the guards. The masked man didn't know whether he was friend or foe, so he instinctively took out the dagger with his right hand, but he felt that his right hand was sore, and he couldn't raise his hand.
The masked man was about to struggle again, but he felt that his left wrist was tightened, and his body had landed firmly on the back of the person who came. At this moment, the guards on the periphery had already reacted and shouted "release the arrows". The people who came did not walk high, but returned the same way with the masked man on their backs, and the rain of arrows naturally fell into the air, and they fell to the wall. Somehow, the person who came took the masked man and broke out of the encirclement of many guards in a moment, and rushed forward with the masked man on his back, and disappeared in the blink of an eye. The guards didn't react at this time, and chased after them in a hurry, but they were blinded by the heavy rain and fog, and after a while, they had lost their goal, so they had to make noise and scold and return home.
The masked man felt that the man was running as fast as if he was about to fly, and the cold wind continued to pour into his mouth, shivering, but he also calmed down, knowing that this man had saved his life, so he released the dagger in his arms with his right hand. The man carried the masked man on his back and ran quickly for several miles, until there was no sound from behind him, and then carefully put the masked man down, and then gasped for breath. The rough breath coming from his mouth was like a white line in the cold night, and it gradually dissipated more than three feet away.
The masked man stood and looked at the man carefully, vaguely feeling familiar, and a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, isn't this the guy he met last night? The masked man stood there quietly, did not speak, and when the man stopped panting and faced himself, he took off the veil he was wearing, and smiled softly.
The person who came was He Xuxing. It turned out that He Xuxing couldn't bear it after all, thinking that even if he saved someone by mistake this time, he would have to be willful, he thought simply in his heart, if it was really wrong, he would just offset it with his life. So he ignored Ouyang Xia's warning, and resorted to the floating light and shadow body method to save the masked man when he was in great danger. He Xuxing turned around, as if he was startled, in front of him was a beautiful and incomparable wonderful person, gentle and virtuous, how could there be a figure that was extremely fierce and fierce in the previous battle, and couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.
After a long time, He Xu Xing also realized that it was quite rude to look at a girl like this, touched his head and smiled, and asked, "My name is He Xu Xing, dare to ask the girl's name?"
"Little woman Kong Wanqiu, I have seen Xu Gongzi, thank you Xu Gongzi for saving her life", Kong Wanqiu replied with a smile, and then asked, "Are you not afraid of saving the wrong person, and causing a disaster without distinguishing between black and white, right and wrong?"
Although He Xuxing is not extremely smart, he is not stupid, how can he not have such concerns, but he didn't expect Kong Wanqiu to ask so bluntly, so he was stunned there, not knowing how to answer. Kong Wanqiu seemed to have expected him to react like this, and he didn't urge it, and when He Xuxing calmed down, he said to him, "Do me a favor, okay?"
"Not good", He Xuxing replied without thinking.
Kong Wanqiu didn't speak, tilted her head and looked at He Xuxing silently, her eyes flashing with an inexplicable look. He Xuxing was looked at uncomfortable, and only then did he reply, "Save you, I don't know if it's right or wrong, and the prince's mansion is already in Longtan Tiger's Den, I also advise you not to go", and later, as if convincing himself, his voice pulled out a high level and concluded, "In short, I won't go, and I advise you not to go."
"The grace of saving lives can not be repaid by the word 'thanks', Wanqiu is seriously injured, I must go back early today to recuperate, I will wait for you here when the handover of Youxu will be seven days later, and I will tell you in detail when the time comes. Kong Wanqiu said softly, and didn't wait for He Xuxing's answer, she said to him, "See you or leave", and left alone.
He Xuxing didn't expect Kong Wanqiu to be obsessed and unreasonable, and he was quite annoyed in his heart, but he didn't expect her to leave in a hurry, and he was afraid that he would still trespass on the palace alone, so he wouldn't save someone in vain, so he couldn't help but shout loudly, "I won't go, don't go either."
He Xuxing saw that Kong Wanqiu heard this, and his figure was obviously stunned, thinking that he had changed his mind, and he felt quite comforted in his heart. Seeing her continue to walk forward, I heard her Yingying whisper in her ear, "Wanqiu will not hurt the life-saving benefactor." By the time He Xuxing tried to persuade him again, Kong Wanqiu had already walked away, and her long rain-soaked hair was scattered behind her. He Xuxing saw the figure that gradually disappeared into the night, quite lonely and lonely, as if hiding an unknown past, he couldn't help but feel a move in his heart, and his pity arose.
As the saying goes, there is a road under the nose, and after He Xuxing's continuous questioning, he naturally rushed back to the inn. As soon as I lay in bed, the events of the past two days kept turning over in front of my eyes, as if I was in a dream, and it took a long time before I tossed and fell asleep, and there was a slight snoring sound.
On the second day, when He Xuxing was still dreaming, he was woken up by a knock on the door, He Xuxing hurriedly wiped the saliva from the corner of his mouth, got dressed with lightning speed, and opened the door to see Sun Jingjing with his left hand on his waist, and his right hand pointed to his nose and scolded loudly, "What a long skill! Then He Xuxing stood in the room awkwardly, and was scolded by Sun Jingjing, who was sitting, for a long time, for some reason, listening to Sun Jingjing's scolding, He Xuxing felt a wave of warmth drifting through his heart. Seeing that Sun Jingjing was getting more and more energetic, He Xuxing poured tea for her very interestingly, Sun Jingjing picked up the cup and took a sip, and then immediately spit it out again.
"It turned out to be yesterday's overnight tea, boy, you have angered this girl", Sun Jingjing stared at He Xuxing quietly.
After Sun Jingjing vented, He Xuxing told her what had happened in the past two days, but he just concealed the rescue of Kong Wanqiu in the middle, and he didn't know whether it was right or wrong, so he couldn't let Sun Jingjing also wade into this matter that didn't know how muddy the water was and how deep the Tao was. Sun Jingjing was amazed when she heard that there were such a large number of people in the world, and she also thought that she would accompany He Xu Xing to Xia Hongyi for a while two days later to see if this party was holy with three heads and six arms or if there was another mystery.
Two days later, He and Sun came to Xia Hongyi's residence according to the address given to He Xuxing by Xia Hongyi. From the outside, although it is not very spacious and extravagant, it has a unique style and charm. He Xuxing handed over the invitation, and followed the little guy at the door to the outside of the main hall, and the little guy asked He Sun and the others to wait at the door of the main hall for a while, and then went in to say goodbye.
After a while, a hearty laugh came from the main hall, "Brother He Xian is here, Brother Foolish is really shining here!"
He Xuxing looked fixedly, it was Xia Hongyi who led the crowd out of the hall to greet him, hurriedly bowed his hand, and replied, "Brother Xia warmly invited, do you dare to come for the younger brother?" Sun Jingjing generously said to everyone.
He and Sun had seen everyone at this time, and when they swept away, there were more than a dozen people, all of whom were extraordinary people, and they were faintly good at the rivers and lakes. Everyone bowed their hands to He Sun and the others, but only one of them glared at them angrily, looking at their posture, and wanted to kill the two alive. He Sun and the others looked at the man, and couldn't help but chuckle in their hearts, it turned out to be an old man with a narrow path!
