209 Assassination
"Forestry, you're saying that Lianxiang once said something to you before leaving. What are the words, do you remember now? A strange look flashed on Xia Chan's face, and his eyes stared straight at the forestry
Forestry lowered his head and pondered for a while, "I can't remember specifically, it seems to say anything, if she doesn't come back that day, if I want to sue Sister SΓΉ Erya, you must be careful." As for what to be careful about, Sister Lianxiang didn't say anything. β
Be careful? Xia Cicada remembered the words that Lian Xiang had said before she died, and her heart was stunned, as if she had suddenly thought of something, and immediately got out of bed and said to Forestry and Dabao
"Dabao, you are the elder brother. Now listen to the words of the second sister and take Dabao to hide in the box. Don't come out without me. Remember, wait, don't make a sound, no matter what happens, and don't get out of the box. Remember? β
Xia Cicada looked strict, Dabao and Forestry looked puzzled, but they usually listen to Xia Cicada's words, and it will be rare to see Xia Cicada so strict. didn't ask anything, the two tacitly held hands, opened the wooden box at the end of the bed and hid
"Second sister, what about you?" Although Dabao didn't know what was posted, he still couldn't stop worrying about the second sister.
Xia Chan looked at Dabao and shook his head, "I'm fine, remember the words of the second sister." Protect the forestry. β
After Xia Cicada came out of their forestry room, he stood in the yard and listened carefully to the wind around him, there are several decades-old trees planted around Xia's house, and he can clearly hear the sound of the wind and the rustle of leaves at night. And tonight, there is a tree whose branches and leaves are motionless.
In her previous life, she watched a lot of martial arts movies, and she watched a lot of such scenes. His heart suddenly tightened, and he turned his head and quickly entered the house. walked to the head of the bed and whispered to wake up Aunt Lin. Time was pressing, Xia Chan didn't know how long those people could wait, and whispered a few words in Aunt Lin's ear. Then he walked up to the oil lamp and blew it out.
In the silence of the night, the slightest sound can attract people's attention. Xia Chan stood behind the door with a dagger, listening carefully to the sound outside, her whole heart hung in her throat, and it should be a tough battle, I hope Aunt Lin can catch up, otherwise. She doesn't even know how long she'll last?
Little by little, time passed. There was still no sound in the courtyard. Just when Xia Chan thought she was thinking too much, there was a sudden sound of birds in the courtyard, and Xia Chan knew. That's their code. Hold on to the dagger. Wait quietly.
After a while, looking out of the courtyard through the crack in the door, several men in black flew into the courtyard. Approaching the room at a rapid pace. Xia Chan turned around and leaned against the door. Abandon breathing
The deadbolt was slowly opened, and Xia Chan watched a man in black push the door in. Xia Cicada seized the moment. The eyes are clear and the hands are fast, and without waiting for the man in black to react, he locked his throat with a knife. The man in black was killed instantly. Seeing this, the companion who followed the man in black quickly retreated. Stand in the doorway. Observe what's going on inside the house. Xia Chan continued to hide behind the door and stalemate with them.
Compared with force, she is too far from them. Compared to the number of people, she has only one person. So now she's nothing but outwitting. There is no other way out.
But Xia Chan didn't calculate, they were all well-trained killers. Just a little trick like Xia Cicada. It was an accident to succeed once. It is even more difficult to win again with this strategy.
After a while, Xia Cicada looked out through the crack in the door, and the courtyard was already empty, and there was no one left. Just as the summer cicada was wondering, there was a violent tearing sound by the window. Xia Chan turned his head and quickly looked at the window, only to see that the window that was still intact just now was instantly shattered. Then flew in through the window a couple of men in black. Before Xia Cicada came back to his senses, the man in black had already entered the house. Xia Chan's face changed slightly, and his hands consciously wanted to open the door and run out. Seeing this, the man in black took the lead and closed the door with his palm. Xia Cicada had no way to hide at this time
"You guys came to kill me a weak woman, and your master really looked up to me." Xia Chan saw that there was no hope of escaping, so he gave up escaping. Turning to look at the men in black in the room
"You can act so quickly, you must already know about Lianxiang. You're so together, I don't see you sad. β
Several black-clothed people stood in place, because their faces were covered by black cloth, Xia Chan couldn't see their expressions clearly. One can only guess by the sound of their breathing. But the breathing of those who practice martial arts is shallow, and they are well-trained killers. It was difficult for Xia Cicada to discern their thoughts from the sound of breathing
In the middle of the sound, the man in black who was standing at the front waved his hand and said in the direction of Xia Cicada, "Do it." β
Xia Chan pulled out the dagger in his hand again, and moved sharply to avoid the entry of the man in black into the palace. However, she is a woman after all, and her strength is limited. After a few rounds, she had the upper hand. Seeing that she was about to be unable to resist, Xia Chan turned over and quickly hid at the door. Holding the dagger, he looked at the man in black closest to her and rushed quickly. It's just that the speed of the man in black is obviously one step faster than her, and as soon as the knife passes, Xia Chan's arm is cut with a deep wound.
"You can't escape today, or don't do any more useless struggles." A man in black stepped forward and raised his eyebrows to look at Xia Cicada's injury. Said coldly
Xia Cicada raised her other hand, put it on the wound, and gasped. Hearing the ridicule, he looked up unhappily and said, "If it were you today, would you give up the opportunity to struggle and let others slaughter you?" β
"Hmph, needless struggle will only make you die faster."
"You...", did the killer speak so sharply? She's also a girl, and she has a good figure without beauty. They can't see it at all. Xia Chan held the wound and took a few steps back, "You can kill me if you want, you have to give me a reason why I have to die." β
"There is no reason. All you have to do is stand and die. After speaking, the man in black didn't wait for Xia Chan to reply, he raised his sword and jumped lightly, and quickly attacked Xia Chan. Seeing this, Xia Cicada wanted to hide. However, the speed of the man in black was too fast, and before she could dodge, the knife had already reached her neck
"I really don't know what good you have, you can let the mandarin duck die for you and refuse to obey the master's arrangement. Today I'm going to see what you're capable of. β
After waiting for a while, the knife did not fall. Hearing the sound in his ears, Xia Chan looked at the man in black in front of him with a puzzled expression, "Mandarin ducks? Are you talking about lotus incense? It turned out that her name was Mandarin Duck. However, I think Lianxiang is more suitable for her. Mandarin ducks are both living and flying, she is just one person. Even if she didn't wait for her other half until she died, it's better not to call her mandarin duck. Otherwise, she would feel even more guilty. In fact, she had guessed just now that Lianxiang should have received a task that she didn't want to do, but had to do, and she had no choice but to make that decision. I also thought that that mission would be related to her. But when the facts really lay out in front of her, she still couldn't accept it.
"What her name is, you don't deserve to decide for her. If it weren't for you, she wouldn't have died so early. What's more, your life, even if our brothers don't take your life today. In other days, there will be people vying for your life. β
"Why?" She has no wealth, and she has no looks. Do these people have a problem with their brains?
The man in black glared at Xia Chan impatiently, as if he didn't want to talk nonsense with her. Hold the handle of the knife in your hand tightly and press it gently. Xia Cicada felt a trace of pain in her neck. Soon, he fell into a coma...... (To be continued.) )
