Chapter 323: Caught in a Conspiracy
Originally, Xuanbo wanted Jingchen to pick him up in a low voice, and he had to make a reluctant appearance, so that he could earn back face. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
She really didn't expect that this guy Jingchen would go down the tree by himself without looking back. Looking at the lack of people around, and seeing a woman covered in blood lying on the ground, Xuanbo only felt that his scalp was tingling.
At this time, she can't care about anything shameless. Relying on her still a bit of martial arts foundation, she closed her eyes and jumped down.
Although Jingchen walked forward, his ears were listening carefully to all sides. When there was a swirling skirt behind him, he immediately realized that it was not good! So he hurriedly turned around and jumped forward, just in time to catch the swirl wave that jumped from above.
This move of Jingchen is at great risk. Everyone knows that people fall from a high place, the strength is great, if it is not a peerless master, no one dares to rush to the rescue, otherwise it is easy to lose both.
Fortunately, both the swirling waves and the pure dust were safe.
After putting the swirling wave on the ground, Jingchen looked at her with some annoyance, "Are you a woman?" A tree so tall that you can jump off it without even thinking about it. Do you know that if I hadn't gone far and rescued you, your legs might have been ruined by now? ”
How could Xuanbo not know, but she couldn't help it, Jingchen left, leaving her alone in the tree, what if the two people who fought just now fought back? I am a weak woman, how can I not resist these two outlaws?
"How dare you say me? If you hadn't left me in the tree and fled for my life alone, how would I have made such a decision? Xuanbo was unconvinced, and said a sentence to clean the dust.
Jingchen still had the same cold expression just now, and he said lightly: "I really wanted to take you away just now, but then I changed my mind." Staying in a tree may be safer for you. ”
"What did you say?" After listening to Jingchen's words, Xuanbo was really angry: "Obviously running for his life on his own, what's the use of saying these things in a high-sounding manner?" ”
Jingchen said with a solemn expression: "Now that the situation in the temple is unknown, the two assassins who pretended to be monks I saw just now are very good at kung fu. If they returned, the poor monk would have to fight them and protect the princess. When the time comes, I am afraid that I will not be able to protect the princess, so I want the princess to stay in the tree, and the poor monk will definitely come to pick you up. ”
After listening to these explanations, Xuanbo was no longer as angry as he was just now. But if she was allowed to walk behind a monk, she felt that she was too shameless. So, her eyes flashed, and she said delicately: "When I got down from the tree just now, I accidentally twisted my foot and neck, and I really can't walk anymore." ”
When Jingchen heard this, he looked at the swirl wave in disbelief, because he didn't let her feet stick to the ground when he caught the swirl wave. In this case, how could the swirling wave twist its foot?
However, Xuanbo is a princess after all, and she spoke, and Jingchen can no longer ignore it like just now. He stepped forward, and without saying a word, he slung the swirl on his shoulders and strode forward.
Xuanbo didn't expect him to make this move, so he had to climb on Jingchen's shoulder and didn't dare to speak again. But after walking a few steps, Jingchen suddenly stopped, and he whispered, "Listen, what sound?" ”
Xuanbo has been bumped by him at this time, how can he speak. Jingchen lowered her from her body, and then made a silent motion.
Whirlbo gave him a blank look, and stood aside gasping for air.
Jingchen carefully looked at the surrounding buildings, here are several ancient courtyards, and the courtyard is a meditation room where monks live. These rooms are arranged in a staggered manner in the mountains and forests.
Today is the first day of the new year, all the monks are chanting in the front of the Buddhist hall, the wooden doors of these meditation rooms are closed, and the surroundings are quiet. Ancient trees shade the sky, and the occasional birdsong is heard, followed by endless silence.
Since he didn't know what the situation was ahead, Jingchen thought about ideas as he walked, and walked very slowly. At this time, I heard a sudden muffled sound not far away, which seemed very strange compared to the quiet environment just now.
Xuanbo was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly grabbed Jingchen's clothes and said, "This voice is not right, it seems that someone is fighting fiercely." Let's not go over, right? ”
Jingchen's expression was even more grim, and he stretched out his arm to subconsciously protect the whirlpool behind him.
At this moment, a scream came from the front. The voice was not high, it was terrible and desperate, and it was a man who could hear the screams, and his voice was extremely painful and unwilling.
Jingchen was startled, his sword eyebrows were upside down, and he walked forward quickly in a hurry, but the swirling wave couldn't stop him, so he could only follow hard. When I turned the corner, I saw a small courtyard where the monks lived, the door of the courtyard was wide open, and there was no one in front of the door, and the sound seemed to come from here.
Jingchen secretly used internal force on the palm of his hand to prevent a few assassins from suddenly rushing out at this time and injuring the whirlpool. He walked into the courtyard and looked around, but he didn't see anyone, and when he went to the courtyard to look, it was also empty.
Xuanbo followed behind him with a look of surprise: "This is strange, I heard the voice of someone here just now, but I didn't see half a person here, is this still haunted in your royal temple?" ”
Jingchen's brow furrowed even tighter, but he still didn't say anything.
The two of them searched again, but they still found nothing, so they had to go to the courtyard gate, ready to go back to the palace.
When he was coming down the steps from the dust, he suddenly shook his body, took a step back, and said in a trembling voice: "Look, what's next to the tree?" ”
Jingchen looked in the direction of her finger, and saw that under an ancient locust tree, a cloud of red blood was spreading on the ground, like a red and strange silk, slowly spreading.
Seeing this, Jingchen turned back to Xuanbo and said, "Princess, you wait here, don't go anywhere." ”
How could Xuan Bo listen to him: "This place is so strange, how dare I wait alone, if an assassin rushes out, what should I do?" ”
After Xuanbo finished speaking, he didn't know where he got the courage, so he followed closely behind Jingchen and walked over.
Slowly, Xuanbo followed Jingchen to the back of the tree, and the scene in front of her was so shocking that her body couldn't help but shake violently, and then quickly covered her mouth with both hands, for fear that she would scream immediately.
I saw a foot off the ground behind the Luan tree, there was a person hanging, this person's throat had been cut, blood was dripping down the clothes on his chest, and a long sword was inserted in the shoulder blade on the left side. Although the person on the tree had lost too much blood and his face was pale, he could still see that it was a middle-aged monk dressed as a clean dust.
