235. Sneak attack in the night
The fourth city of Huayu.
When night fell, Xia Xiaonian sat on the city wall to blow the wind, and Bai Lian accompanied her.
"Lady, the wind is too strong, you have drunk a lot of wine, go back and rest." In fact, Xia Xiaonian only drank a glass of wine, Bai Lian helped her drink a lot of wine in order not to let her become the same last time, the soldiers laughed at their affection, and he was also a little fluttering, his entourage identity was also recognized because of Xia Xiaonian, and everyone treated him very kindly.
Xia Xiaonian waved his hand, "I'm fine." "It's nice for the wind to blow occasionally," but you, you've had a lot of wine, so go back." ”
The lights on this side of the city wall were bright, and some soldiers took turns to change the guard, Xia Xiaonian rearranged the duty system for them, and everyone agreed.
Bai Lian shook her head, "I don't worry about you alone, either go back together or stay here together." ”
He leaned his head on Xia Xiaonian's shoulder, not allowing her to refuse, the breeze blew, plus Bai Lian drank alcohol and had a fever, he fell asleep after a while, listening to Bai Lian's even breathing, Xia Xiaonian was also a little drowsy, but sleeping here would make him cold.
However, with her little woman's strength, she couldn't pick up Bai Lian at all, and she couldn't bear to wake up Bai Lian, he was much more tired than herself, and when there were not enough people, he also helped together, so that Xia Xiaonian, who could only use his brain, was also a little embarrassed.
On the branch outside the city wall, Ye Xingchen looked coldly at the two of them, and his hand on the trunk clenched unconsciously.
"Pavilion Master, aren't you going in yet?" Xiao Liang rubbed his hands and said, the air became cold at night, and his hands were a little stiff, but why did the pavilion master keep observing the situation here and not going in, isn't it time?
Ye Xingchen didn't speak or move, Xiao Liang had to close his mouth and obediently wait for his next order, originally there should be more people on this mission, but the pavilion master himself went out, and the others turned to other tasks, so he was the only one who followed the pavilion master, how could he feel a little shabby.
Xia Xiaonian untied the cloak on his body and put it on Bai Lian, put his hand in his arms and warmed it, thinking to himself where Xue Jing's father had gone, if he didn't want to stay by his side and say it, who could figure out what he meant.
Seeing her such intimate movements, Ye Xingchen felt a little flustered in his heart, and said to Xiao Liang at the moment: "Do it." ”
"Yes!" Xiao Liang was very excited, he could finally do it, he endured it for a long time, and sure enough, it was uncomfortable in his feet if he didn't move his hands.
Xia Xiaonian only felt that the speed of the wind had become faster, and nothing had changed in the blink of an eye, and she was faintly uneasy in her heart.
At the banquet, although Xia Xiaonian advised everyone to drink less, the leader of Huayu was still happy to drink a few more glasses, her footsteps were swaying, and she was about to take over the next shift.
The cold light flashed, and a sword stabbed over without warning, her figure suddenly stood still, and she dodged the sword, and the people who came didn't know that she was so vigilant, but the killer's Su zhì was there, and immediately stabbed again, and the leader pulled out the sword he pinned to his waist and met it.
"What the county lord said is really right, fortunately, I was prepared!" Her eyes suddenly became clear, and she completely lost the drunken appearance she had before.
Xiao Liang wanted to say, 'So what, I can still kill you.' But as soon as he thought that the killer of the Starry Night Pavilion could not speak in front of the target, he swallowed back.
After a few rounds, a slight cold sweat broke out on Xiao Liang's forehead, he didn't expect that there was a hidden master here, and he was also blamed for his bad luck, as soon as he came, he met the leader here, Ye Xingchen had already sneaked inside, if he didn't solve this big and three thick woman quickly, the pavilion master would be in trouble.
I don't know if today is Xia Xiaonian's lucky day, Ye Xingchen just entered the camp and met Long Yunxi who went out to find Xia Xiaonian, she saw a man in black shuttling in the night, just a few dodges, and a few soldiers who were still asleep were wiped out by him.
Long Yunxi immediately pulled out his sword and rushed forward, "Bold fanatics, take your life!" ”
Ye Xingchen was also taken aback, and immediately turned sideways to block the sword move thrown by Long Yunxi, Long Yunxi is also a perennial martial artist, although her mind is not as bright as Xia Xiaonian, but she can barely resist Ye Xingchen with force, she knew that she couldn't beat others when she came into contact with Ye Xingchen, and immediately called the soldiers to help.
There were more and more people, and Ye Xingchen didn't expect to encounter this situation, if he hadn't paid attention to Xia Xiaonian at that time, if he hadn't directly missed Xia Xiaonian, he would definitely have completed the task by now, and of course, he blamed Xia Xiaonian for the failure of this mission.
When he broke through the encirclement and found Xiao Liang, Xiao Liang was dressed as a wolf and had several injuries on his body, so he immediately picked up Xiao Liang on his toes and left Huayu with light effort.
When passing through the city wall, Xia Xiaonian watched him escape, and immediately stopped the leader and Long Yunxi who were about to rush out, "Don't chase after it, it's getting late, it's not good to be ambushed, everyone stays in the city, and the most important thing now is to defend the city!" ”
Although the leader was still unsatisfied with the pursuit, he still listened to Xia Xiaonian's words respectfully, and went back with the soldiers, Long Yunxi ran up the city wall to see how she was safe, "County Lord, there is a sneak attack by villains, are you okay?" ”
"I'm fine." Xia Xiaonian bit her lip, "Let them step up patrols." ”
"Yes!"
Xia Xiaonian was still not at ease, and said again: "By the way, you can help me bring the white lotus back, and I will take a few people to set up an ambush nearby." ”
"County Lord, this is not safe!" Long Yunxi stopped, "Master Pony, I will send someone to send it back, and I will accompany you out." ”
"No, you don't." Xia Xiaonian said firmly.
Long Yunxi knew that nothing could change her decision, so she had to pick up the white lotus and turn around and leave.
She looked at Long Yunxi's figure and was a little speechless unconsciously, it seemed that Long Yunxi was really a little flustered today, and even her tone became respectful, but she didn't notice it herself.
The reason why Xia Xiaonian was so nervous was because at the moment when the two men in black fled, Xue Jing suddenly spoke, and Xue Jing said, "Father." ”
Damn, he actually beats his own people, is he an enemy?
The dead corpses were placed under the city gate, and some people were already starting to dig a pit, their bones could only be left here, and there was no way to bring them back for the time being, those few people, Xia Xiaonian remembered, when they were just drinking, how relieved they were laughing, Xia Xiaonian couldn't help but feel a pain in his heart.
Regardless of whether he is Xuejing's father or not, she will administer justice to these soldiers!
Around the city, Xia Xiaonian had already sent someone to set up the trap, but when Night Xingchen and they came, they didn't land at all, but now one of the two was injured and the other was unable to support their bodies, and Night Xingchen was walking in the woods with Xiao Liang on his back.
"Careless." He patted Xiao Liang's face on the back, "Are you still alive?" ”
"Hmm." Xiao Liang replied weakly, "Pavilion Master, you can go, don't worry about me." ”
How could he ignore his brother? The killers up and down the Starry Night Pavilion, he treated him as a brother, and his brother was injured, and he couldn't watch it.
The stone on the side of the road was suddenly touched by him, and before he could dodge, a large net hung the two of them in the air.
In the distance, torches came to him little by little, and his sword was gone, and he didn't have much strength in his body, so he had to be slaughtered here.
The bright light quickly ran this way.
After Xia Xiaonian found the soldiers to re-set up the ambush, a person walked towards this side with a torch, she felt as if there was some movement, broke away from the soldiers, and ran here alone, when she saw the prey in the net in the air, she laughed.
"I know who sent you." Xia Xiaonian stuck the torch on the soil on the side and crossed his waist, "Wouldn't killers commit suicide if they can't complete the task?" Why don't you do it yet? ”
Unexpectedly, Xuejing's father was actually a murderer, Xia Xiaonian was disappointed, and his tone was a little unkind.
Ye Xingchen looked at the person in front of him and spoke, "The county lord is also bold alone, isn't he afraid of being killed?" ”
This voice, Xia Xiaonian gritted her teeth, she would not admit it, this was his voice.
Xia Xiaonian took out the jade pendant in his arms, "Chen? It's yours. ”
Ye Xingchen didn't expect her jade pendant to be in her arms, and she was a little overwhelmed and didn't speak.
"Since we killed the people on my side, then we are destined to be enemies, even if we have a dewy relationship and have children, I will not forgive you!" The jade pendant was let go, and it shattered with a clatter of hitting the stones on the ground, and Night Star's eyes were full of shock.
This woman, who already knew that she was with her that person, what did she just say, their child? Since ancient times, men have given birth to children, and he has not been pregnant, how can she have children.
"Xuejing, come out!" Xia Xiaonian shouted angrily, she wanted Xue Jing to take a good look, this was definitely not that stinky man.
"I can finally see my father!" The yellow light flashed, and a playful girl appeared in front of the three of them out of thin air, she directly put down the net and threw herself into the arms of the night star, "Daddy! She cried sweetly.
This is?
Night Xingchen fell to the ground but forgot about the pain, he looked at the child who was coquettish in his arms, and the veil on his face also slipped down, Xia Xiaonian fixed his eyes, sure enough, it was the man of that day, she shouldn't save him.
"Give me back, this kind of person is not your father." Xia Xiaonian walked up to him and pulled Xue Jing out, "Seeing your shocked look, I'll waste my saliva to explain to you, that night you and I were both for the first time, the virgin blood of the two triggered the birth of the Blood Essence Fruit, and you and I each have half a dragon tattoo on our arms, that is the contract of the Blood Essence Fruit, and after the Blood Essence Fruit has been strengthened in strength, it can already transform into a human form, which is what it looks like now." ”
It turned out to be the Blood Essence Fruit, and Night Star closed his mouth that opened in surprise.
