Chapter 553: Clever Man
"The crown prince is guarded by the imperial army, there should be no danger, unless..."
"Yes, the former commander of the Imperial Command Army is the Taishi Pang Jian, although the generals may not be satisfied with the rough and mediocre Pang Wuji, but due to the relationship between his subordinates, if you add coercion and temptation, then Long Chang will also have no return!" The worry in Mu Suiyi's eyes became even stronger.
Although she didn't understand why Brother Mu was worried about Long Changyi's life and death, she had his plans, so it was inconvenient to ask more.
"I have to rush to Jiachuan Pass immediately, it's too late to go, internal and external troubles, how can the prince be the opponent of the demon in Xiangguo in his first battle?" Then he turned around and left.
"Brother Mu-" Ruxue stretched out her hand and lightly took his arm, while he turned around, she waved her sleeves, and a burst of aroma came into her nose, Mu Suiyi didn't figure out what was going on, so she slowly fell, Ruxue held his falling body with both hands, and said lightly, "I'm sorry, big brother, you sleep here for a few days, since Pang Jian came prepared, how can it be so simple for you to go?" I can't let you get into danger, you are the one who can give Yan'er happiness! Mu Suiyi was obviously struggling, but no matter how good his martial arts were, he couldn't resist the self-made fascination of this Liuqing Mansion, and finally he pulled her hand to his waist, she looked away, it was a waist card engraved with the "brocade" word Panlong shading pattern, he tore off the waist card, trembled and put it on her hand, and finally slowly closed his worried eyes.
She held the waist card in her hand, put it in her arms, called Xi'er to her and gave instructions, then asked her to tie up her long hair high, change into a man's long clothes, pick up two changes of clothes at will, take off the sword, and rode to Jiachuan Pass.
Along the way, she rode her horse fast and galloped day and night.
On the fourth day, I arrived at Feng County, and saw that it was late, not to mention that from Feng County to Jiachuan Pass, it was necessary to turn over a mountain, there were few people on the mountain, and the mountain road was not easy to walk at night, in order to prevent accidents, she still chose to be cautious and choose an inn to live in Feng County.
"Guest officer, do you want to stay in the hotel?" When Xiao Er first saw the jade-faced boy in front of him, he was really stunned, this young man was really handsome, but he was cold and didn't dare to approach.
"I want an upper room." Like snow glanced at him slightly.
"Go to the room—okay, guest officer, please—" Xiao Er greeted politely.
"Little Er, come here!" A strong voice from the upstairs, through the layers of barriers, until the downstairs door, because it was late, the inn's business was not lively, and there were no guests in the lobby, so now the lobby is just a guy in Zhang Luo.
"Oh, okay-" Xiao Er took the opportunity to lead her upstairs: "Guest officer, go slowly, I'll come when I go", like Xue didn't care about him, nodded, and watched him cautiously walk towards the private room where the voice came, guessing that it must be the master who can't be offended, she has something important to do, so why bother with him.
"Guest, is there something wrong?"
"Yes!" Xuanyuan Xuanyu frowned slightly, squinting at the pair of brown eyes that looked like swords, and the experience made his eyes more sharp and sharp, giving people a sense of oppression pressing step by step.
Seeing that he turned his eyes to himself, a cold tremor rose in Xiao Er's heart, and he turned his eyes aggrievedly to the "wood" standing next to the young man of Qingrin, but the "wood" was unmoved, and seemed to be a little colder than the person in front of him.
"Guest, what's the matter?" Xiao Er swallowed his saliva with difficulty.
"It's boring." Xuanyuan Xuanyu held his cheek with one hand and played with the teacup in his hand with a tasteless expression.
"The guest officer can find some pastime." Xiao Er wished that these two gods had left the inn earlier, and he would not be afraid.
"Oh? Pastime? Xuanyuan Xuanyu's eyes flashed with a gleam, "How about beating people?" ”
"Huh?" Xiao Er panicked for a while. In the past year of "this ......", since the war on the border, this small county closest to Jiachuan Pass has also come to many strange outsiders.
Xuanyuan Xuanyu put down the teacup in his hand and stood up, his refined body was extremely well proportioned, exuding a compelling kingly atmosphere.
Xiao Er raised his head and barely met his gaze - deep and sharp, what's wrong today, I just picked up a handsome and beautiful young man, and now there is a deterrent and handsome eccentric son, this shop can't accommodate so many Bodhisattvas.
"Childe!" The wood on the side finally spoke, just when Xuanyuan Xuanyu's big palm was about to slap the "fly" in front of him.
"Huh?" Xuanyuan Xuanyu didn't stop.
"Childe, spare him!" Mu just felt strange, why is the son who has never embarrassed people so abnormal today.
"Xiao Er—" A crisp voice came from outside the door, and people couldn't help but imagine what kind of person was worthy of such a natural sound.
"Hey—it's coming!" Xiao Er woke up from the fright just now, and just took this opportunity to run out of the room.
"Left attack, are you thinking about why I was embarrassed just now?" Xuanyuan Xuanyu smiled lightly.
"I really don't understand the left attack." Wood replied honestly.
"With your martial arts, how many people did you hear going upstairs just now?" Xuanyuan Xuanyu asked.
"Alone."
"And how do you explain that crisp voice?" Xuanyuan Xuanyu asked rhetorically, in fact, with his years of fighting on the battlefield, he had only heard some flaws from her subtle breathing.
"Childe-" Left Attack's face was suddenly full of murderous aura, which was the expression of the enemy when dealing with it.
Xuanyuan Xuanyu lightly pressed the hand that Zuo Attack placed on the sword at his waist, and said slowly: "I want to see who can move me." ”
"Thank you, Childe!" Xiao Er ran up to me in a panic and said with great gratitude.
"Lead the way." She didn't want to say much. Why bother an ordinary person? Perhaps the young master was right - she never put away her mercy. Young master, young master......
"Childe, you are tired from the journey, do you need some wine and food, the little one will go and prepare it immediately and bring it to the guest officer?" Xiao Er was obviously much more attentive to her than just now.
Seexue only slightly pursed the corners of her mouth, "Okay." ”
Xiao Er stood in place dumbfounded, there would be such a handsome little boy in the world, and a seemingly smiling person can be so moving.
"Little Er—" She was a little angry.
"Oh, okay, right away, wait a minute." Then he turned and left, his eyes sneaking in that direction from time to time.
"Bang bang bang-"
"Come in!" She called.
"Guest officer, your wine and food are here, use them slowly." The voice was low, not like the innocent voice of the little second just now.
Ruxue turned to Xiao Er who came in suspiciously and spoke: "What about Xiao Er just now?" ”
"He, he went to sleep." The voice was slightly flustered.
She jerked out his big hand holding the porcelain plate, and sure enough—a thick layer of calluses on the edge of the knife in her right hand—it was the result of long-term sword practice! "Who the hell are you?"
"Hmph—the one who wants your life!" He immediately lifted the porcelain plate in his hand, pulled a sharp dagger from under the plate, and stabbed her in the heart.
Like Xue slightly let go of her left shoulder, she shouted, "What about Xiao Er?" ”
"Hmph—he'll go ahead and wait for you on the bridge." His hideous face was even more hateful in the candlelight, and he didn't even let go of an unarmed ordinary person.
Thinking of the person who had a simple expression just now, in the blink of an eye, he turned into a cold corpse, although she did not kill Beren, but Beren died because of her, her heart tightened, and the gloom in her eyes became thicker. "Then you go and accompany him!" Anger made her lose patience, and even forgot to draw her sword dangerously, and stretched out two fingers to his throat, only to muffle, she heard the sound of her throat bone being crushed—in fact, if his martial arts were a little more, with her disregard for her own dangerous actions, she was most likely to be injured. Unfortunately, the dead will never have another chance.
Like Xue leaned down and searched for a secret letter on him - it seems that Pang Jian's speed is indeed very fast! Big brother, you have to be careful, there are moles on the first floor of the world.
She didn't think about him, put away her burden, and hurried overnight and left Fengxian, it seems that no matter what I do, the danger exists, it is better to hurry as soon as possible, it is too late to go, I am afraid that the prince is in danger.
Finally, before dawn, he rushed to the outside of Jiachuan Pass, and Ruxue simply drank a bowl of soybean milk from an old man's soybean milk stall on the side of the road, prepared horses, and planned to continue into the city, which was still a day's journey away from the place where the military camp was settled.
Suddenly, a dozen masked night people sprang out of the alleys of the streets, and the pedestrians on the street were in a mess, running to escape. It seems that they really can't wait, and they want to kill people during the day to prevent future troubles. She grabbed the reins and swept her eyes coldly towards them. In an instant, the arrows and crossbows in the hands of the man in black rushed at her one after another. Without hesitation, she put her foot on the saddle, leaped off the horse, and rolled over—stunned—why was she so dizzy? One was unsteady, she held the ground with one hand, barely raised her head, no-could it be poisoned?
"What, do you feel dizzy? Do you feel weaker in your limbs? The man in black who took the lead smiled evilly.
"You-" she recalled her trip to Jiachuan with chagrin, "it's that bowl of soy milk!" Although she didn't know how they poisoned it, because she had used a silver needle to probe it before, and it wasn't poisonous, but apart from the bowl of soy milk, she really couldn't think of any link that went wrong.
"That bowl of soy milk is not poisonous, but the spoon that the old man handed you is filled with powerful sweat medicine." The man in black smiled wisely. "Come with us!"
"I must be worth a lot of money, right?" Her consciousness had begun to blur more and more.
The man in black probably didn't expect that she would be so calm at this time, "Five thousand silver for the living, two thousand silver for the dead." ”
"Well, I'm afraid I'm going to disappoint you—" Like Xue Qiang propped up her body, her skills were extremely fast, and she suddenly picked up several silver needles and stabbed them violently in her left leg, blood gushed out, she twisted her eyebrows slightly, and her delicate lips were bitten by her with a trace of blood, and the pain made her mind clear a lot.
The man in black was obviously shocked by her actions, and stood in a daze.
(At this time, there were still two people hiding in the dark, and the left attack was a little hesitant: "Childe, he doesn't seem to be able to do it, should we..."
"He's a lot stronger than you think, and this difficulty can't stop him!" Although Xuanyuan Xuanyu said this, he couldn't help but be shocked by him in his heart. )
"Suffer death!" The man in black was a little timid, but he felt that the petite body in front of him was not simple, so it was better to solve it quickly. With a wave of one hand, all the black-clothed people were tense and angry.
Like a snow staff leaning on the long sword to stand up, facing head-on, the snow sword came out of the sheath, swung and swept through the sky, only one round, several people in black fell, she staggered and stood firm against the sword again, "Does anyone else want to try my sword?" ”
"Brothers, she's been poisoned, and she won't last long, let's go together!" The man in black commanded with a strong composure, but he ran behind the group.
A bunch of guys who don't know whether to live or die -
She stabbed several silver needles at her right leg as she struggled to her feet, and rose with her sword, closing her eyes just as the blade touched the flesh - the color of the blood was too dazzling.
After a few moments, with no rival to her, she laughed wildly, "Shouldn't you give an account to so many dead bodies?" ”
The man in black who took the lead showed a lewd expression, as if he was about to make a desperate bet: "Since you didn't plan to let me go, then I'll kill you!" He pretended to draw a knife, but suddenly took out a hidden weapon from behind and threw it at her, without warning, she didn't even have time to think, the pain on her body hit in bursts, is she really going to die here?
("Be careful—" Xuanyuan Xuanyu's worry came to his heart, and he couldn't hold it back.) )
——Bang, the hidden weapon was repelled by a long sword, the person who came was dressed in gray, flew down from the opposite attic, gently grabbed her waist with one hand, and secretly strained her left palm, the flying sword that originally hit the hidden weapon suddenly changed direction, and returned to his hand as he wanted, he took her into his arms, flew forward, and the sword was extremely fast, and he didn't have time to see how he made the sword, the man in black only felt a cold on his neck, and stretched out his hand to wipe it lightly - a trace of bright red, the eyes of the man in black suddenly became extremely panicked, and finally stared at the eyes of disbelief, and slowly fell in front of them, "Please- Don't hurt my family! These were his last words.
"It's not something I can decide." The man in gray looked at the man in black with an expressionless face, and seemed to think that if he was still alive, what he was most afraid of was not death, but the wind shining spirit that provoked the palace of Liuqing.
"Like snow... Like snow..."He shook her shoulders lightly, changing his death-like demeanor just now, and he couldn't hide the anxious look on his face at this moment.
Qixue opened her eyes slightly, "Jing Feng-" She thought she was wrong, shouldn't he be by the young master's side now? What should he do if he is gone, young master? Who will protect the young master? Did the young master know that she acted on her own?
"Don't worry, you're safe." Jing Feng has always been like a big brother.
She finally fell into a deep sleep.
Seeing that the person with strong martial arts turned over and jumped on the horse and left with the mysterious little boy in his arms, Xuanyuan Xuanyu was relieved, and immediately appeared in front of a pile of corpses.
Zuo Attack carefully examined the fatal wound of the deceased, and only spoke for a long time: "Childe, I can't see which sect's swordsmanship at that time, but, judging from the look of the man in black who took the lead, he must have known that he had offended someone who should not be offended, such as who has such prestige today?" "Left attack pondering.
"You can't guess, or don't you dare to guess?" Xuanyuan Xuanyu smiled, but there was no smile in his eyes
