Chapter 154: Shadow

It is already approaching the end of spring, and there are already wild grasses on the road that have stubble and new sprouts, and you can see a green patch from afar.

The trees along the way were either still hanging with dead leaves, or they were bare, baring their trunks and stabbing into the sky.

Although the Longji Mountain Range is already in sight, after all, Wangshan is running a dead horse, and Ah Brown also said that there are still three days to go to the foot of the mountain.

At this time, the place where they stayed was surrounded by an endless plain.

A gentle breeze blew and slapped on the face, mixed with the smell of moist grass and earth.

Ah Zi stood there, took a deep breath, and enjoyed the taste of freedom.

After a long time, he turned back to the carriage with a smile and went to get the mat and bedding for making beds at night - they were all prepared by the queen mother and Aunt Chang beside the queen mother.

Ah Zi gently stroked the gentle material with his hand, thinking of the appearance of the ancestor and the queen, the smile on his face was a little more nostalgic.

But it didn't take long for such intoxication to blow from Ah Zi's chest, she grabbed the collar on her chest hard, gasping for breath, but a dark picture began to appear in her mind.

It was a closed room, with only the faint glow of charcoal in the center, illuminating the blood-stained wooden frames and cold chains that appeared and disappeared on the opposite side.

Ah Zi stretched out his hand and waved it in front of his eyes, trying to get rid of this strange but familiar picture.

But the feeling of pressure in his chest became deeper and deeper, and there was the sound of squirming footsteps in his ears - strangers approaching.

Ah Zi turned around violently. The figure of a man in a black cloak covering his head and ankles slowly walked towards her.

I can't see the faces of the people who came.

It's just that every time he takes a step forward, the pain in Ah Zi's heart becomes deeper, and she subconsciously retreats, wanting to stay away from the pain caused by the man in black in front of her, but it is only in vain.

She tried to open her mouth to shout, but her mouth opened, but only a hoarse gasp came from her throat.

A thin layer of sweat was already covered on Ah Zi's forehead, and the underwear behind her was also soaked, but her feet seemed to weigh a thousand gold, and every step she took consumed most of her strength.

Seeing that the man in black is about to come to him. Behind Ah Zi's feet, he tripped over the trunk of a tree. One staggered backwards.

Seeing this, the man in black quickened his pace and came to Ah Zi's eyes, stretched out his hand that had been wrapped in thick black gloves to catch the weak woman in front of him.

Ah Zi couldn't move, so he closed his eyes tightly in fright, and his face turned to the side. Wincing. There was a salty smell of the ocean in his snort.

"Xin...... Purple ......"

A deep, powerful voice came from front of him.

Does the other person know their name?

Ah Zi slowly opened his eyes. Squinted to see the face of the man in black.

But what met his eyes were two scarlet eyes in the pitch black under the hood.

Ah Zi just wanted to shout, but a figure rushed over. picked up Ah Zi horizontally, jumped and easily left the man in black.

"Brown ......"

Ah Zi shouted.

Tang Yinbrown, who was holding Ah Zi in his arms, stared at the man in black with fierce eyes.

The man in black did not flinch, nor did he move closer to Ah Zi and Tang Yinbrown, but just stood in place and stretched out a hand to signal Tang Yinbrown to be calm.

Although Tang Yinbrown was angry that this person dared to blatantly disadvantage Ah Zi under his nose like this, he was not a reckless person after all, after all, Ah Zi was easily taken back by himself now, but the details of the man in black had not yet been figured out.

Seeing that Tang Yinbrown really stopped where he was and did not take the initiative to attack, the man in black nodded with satisfaction, and then reached out to take off the cloak he was wearing behind him.

Is it finally time to show your true colors?

"Your Excellency!"

However, the confrontation between the two was quickly broken by a shout from Xing Fu behind him.

Xing Fu was riding on a horse, and saw a man with a clear face standing there from a distance, opposite Lord Tang, who was holding Ah Zi in his arms, just wanted to step forward to help, and realized that the two did not fight, and he rushed up like this but made the last straw that crushed the camel, so he helplessly shouted in the direction of the three.

And this shout turned out to be even more effective than Xing Fu expected: the man in black who was stretching out his hand and didn't know if he was going to pull out some hidden weapon heard his shout and suddenly retracted his hand, and his movements were obviously a little flustered and looked at Ah Zi and Lord Tang and his own direction, as if after weighing the pros and cons, he was sure that he was not the opponent of the two strong men who practiced martial arts, so he decided to give up the confrontation head-on, and suddenly turned around and jumped away from the ground.

Tang Yinbrown only had a chance to turn his head at this time, but to Xing Fu's surprise, what he saw on Lord Tang's face was not the appreciation of his surprising victory and retreating from the enemy, but with a little resentment and blame, as if his arrival had ruined a good show for him.

"Catch up with the guy and find out who the other person is." Tang Yinbrown ordered coldly.

Tracking is Xing Fu's forte, he professes that there is no thief in the world who can escape his pursuit alone, coupled with the jealousy of Tang Yinbrown's gaze just now, Xing Fu, who has already had the heart to make up for his mistakes, bowed at this time, responded loudly "yes", pinched the horse's belly, and chased in the direction where the man in black left.

Seeing Xing Fu walking away, Tang Yinbrown put down Ah Zilai, waited for her to stand still, and asked softly, "Are you scared?" ”

Ah Zi shook his head with a smile and said, "I'm not afraid of you here." ”

Tang Yinbrown grinned like a child.

Ah Zi looked at the direction where the man in black and Xing Fu left with some concern and asked, "Let Brother Xing chase that person alone, what if Brother Xing is not his opponent?" ”

Tang Yinbrown said calmly: "That person's kung fu is average, if Xing Fu really catches up, don't worry about Xing Fu's safety, he will definitely not suffer." It's just that I'm worried about whether he will lose people, the light skills of the man in black are routines that I have never seen in all these years of walking the rivers and lakes, but I'm afraid that even Xing Fu is not the opponent's opponent in this regard. ”

Listening to Tang Yin's description, Ah Zi was even more puzzled, she tilted her head to look at him and said, "How can I listen to your tone, as if I know this man in black?" ”

Tang Yinbrown smiled, and while leaning over to pick up the firewood that had been scattered on the side just now because of saving Ah Zi, he replied: "That person is also an old friend, and he has followed us all the way since we landed in Xiyou, from Dragon Claw City to Xijing, and now here, he has been hiding in the shadows like a shadow, and he does not shoot easily, I don't know what his purpose is."
