With such distracting thoughts in his heart, Yi Lei's hand holding the knife trembled slightly.

Such vacillation has never been seen in the face of thousands of troops.

Xin Zi looked at the blade that was faintly flashing in the moonlight, his eyes were lonely, but the corners of his mouth were slightly raised.

"The general has also seen the appearance of the Ayu knife, right? And the general at the moment is almost like carved out of a mold. He's a good student, right? Everywhere, when fighting against the enemy, the sword must be used in accordance with the general's teachings. ”

Yi Lei squinted his eyes, and looked at Xin Zi's gaze with more admiration.

This girl looks soft and weak, but the words she can't think of are like blades, cutting his heart with a knife.

But after thinking about it again, I couldn't help but smile bitterly in my heart: maybe she just had no intention, no intention to shake her will, no intention to sprinkle salt on her wounds.

The reason why she said this at this moment is because she cares about the young man who has passed away as much as she does, right?

This girl is even more tired than herself.

He changed his master three times, was accustomed to seeing the cold and cold world and the indifference of human affection, saw through the widowhood of the Dongyuan royal family, and at the same time learned to wear a mask at all times, and his joy and anger were invisible. This is how he can still serve him quietly after seeing his most proud apprentice die at the hands of King Xin.

But what's the trouble with this girl?

She was not questioning herself at all, she was simply confiding in someone who was as familiar with Tang Yinbrown as she was.

She should be as lonely as herself. No, it should be said that it is more helpless than yourself.

If she takes 10,000 steps back, she still has tens of thousands of soldiers stationed at the border as companions, but what does she have?

She didn't even have someone to talk to about the pain of losing Tang Yinbrown.

At that moment, putting aside her status, her position and race, and her age and gender, Yi Lei understood the bitterness in Xin Zi's heart, the burden on her shoulders and the protective color she had built for herself.

So his eyes sank and he showed deep sympathy.

Xin Zi saw all this in her eyes, and tears flashed in the corners of her eyes.

But after all, this short-term sympathy could only shake Yi Lei's heart for a moment, and after reorganizing his thoughts, he returned to his previous indifference, and the knife in his hand was raised again, shoulder level.

Xin Zi's chest rose and fell slightly, trying to concentrate on her feet, thinking back to the feeling of having wind under her feet that she had practiced thousands of times before.

Yi Lei approached, and without hesitation, he slashed down, Xin Zi stepped a little, and his body flew back five steps away.

A trace of confusion flashed in Yi Lei's eyes, but he quickly turned to appreciation, and nodded slightly in the direction of Xin Zi.

Ke Rao was with a little affection for the elders, but he did not forget his duty at the moment, and his feet were unambiguous, and he quickly chased forward.

Xin Zi stepped on it again, there seemed to be a spring breeze under him, his skirt flew, he rose into the air, his body turned, and he fled into the distance again.

I saw that her feet were like dragonflies dotting water, her body rose and fell in the air, and in an instant, she had opened a distance from Yi Lei.

What a handsome light skill.

Yi Lei couldn't help but sigh in his heart, but the expression between his eyebrows and eyes became even more gloomy.

If you continue to let her drift away like this, I am afraid that I will not be able to catch up.

In terms of face kung fu, he is far from being this girl's opponent, but fortunately, she is still within his control.

Yi Lei didn't hesitate for a moment, the long knife in his hand instantly came out of his hand, like a lightning bolt cutting through the air between Xin Zi and him, and finally landed on Xin Zi's skirt impartially.

Xin Zi only felt that he was being dragged heavily behind him, and it was difficult for his body to maintain his balance, so he fell from the half-human height in the air, turned his head to look back, and realized that most of the long knife behind him was inserted into the dirt, nailing his skirt to the ground.

She tore at the hem of her skirt to escape, but the skirt pierced deep into the ground with the blade, and with her weak strength it was in vain.

Yi Lei didn't leave Xin Zi any chance to escape, and rushed to her with an arrow step, no weapons, just a suit of armor and cold eyes were enough to breathe people's hearts.

He slowly paced to Xin Zi's side, looked down at the little girl who was frowning tightly and pulled the dress behind him, and said in a low voice, "Offended", raised his right hand, put his five fingers together, and prepared a hand knife towards the back of Xin Zi's neck to end her struggle.

But the raised hand didn't fall, and I saw him suddenly snort, his eyes widened, and his body smashed straight forward.

Xin Zi shrank to the side in shock, stared at the place where Yi Lei fell, and then saw a silver flying knife inserted in his back, the blade was only two fingers wide, but it pierced the opponent's left heart with great precision.

Xin Zi was stunned for a long time before turning his head to look in the direction where the flying knife was shooting, and saw Li Yuan standing there far away, grinning at himself, with some fatigue in his smile, but more of a relief that he would not die.

A half-moon sank, and the sun crept up little by little in the east.

Takemoto, who was covered in blood and color, found Xin Zi and Li Yuan, and the three of them glanced at each other, and their eyes reflected each other's depressed looks. The three of them were silent for a moment, and then they laughed together.

On that day, the three of them crossed the border of the Eastern Plains—a boundary that they thought they would not be able to pass even if they took their lives—all the way to the west.

All three of them hit the road with anticipation on their faces, knowing that there was something they wanted to the west. It's just that whether the wish of the heart can be achieved can only depend on how they fight for it.

＊＊＊

In the evening of that day, the white falcon flew into the Dongyuan Forbidden Palace.

Wei Ming took the urgent letter taken from the falcon's feet and found Zhu Ciyi, the king of Xin, who was looking through the folds in the imperial study of the Emperor Gaotian at the moment.

Since the night of the full moon on the night of the full moon, he desperately protected King Xin's life on the twin peaks of Jiamen Pass, Wei Ming, a subordinate who was originally ridiculed by everyone as a martial artist, has become King Xin's most favored confidant, so at this moment, when he saw King Xin read the text in the secret letter, he dared to step forward and ask: "But the news from Qubu City in the west?" ”

King Xin nodded, and didn't hide it from him, just spread his hand and handed the note to Wei Ming.

Wei Ming respectfully took the note, and saw a short but shocking sentence on it:

Yi Lei was defeated, and Xin Zi and the three of them left the Dongyuan border and fled all the way to the west.

Wei Ming's heart was shocked, but he didn't expect that even General Yi couldn't stop Xin Zi's little girl. But on his face, he bowed firmly to King Xin, and said in a deep voice: "The last general is willing to go to the west to arrest Xin Zi and his party." ”

But what shocked Wei Ming even more was that King Xin was not angry but laughed, waved his hand at him and said, "No need, this is exactly the result that this king wants." (To be continued.) )
