Situ Yi's shoulders and arms tightened suddenly, and he pulled Qin Nanxi behind him. While his figure was covering her, he was already holding the crimson delicate steel crossbow firmly in his right hand, raising his arm to raise the crossbow, and when he turned his head slightly, his index finger had pressed the bracket without hesitation.

With a "bang", the small white feather arrow bounced off the plane, only to see a thin and fast white light piercing the night sky, steadily and ruthlessly penetrating a small black shadow in the distance in mid-air.

The air suddenly froze, and after a short moment, the small black shadow that was frozen in the air suddenly made a few struggling flutters, and then the chaotic sound suddenly stopped. There was a terrible silence all around.

In the darkness in the distance, the shadows of the trees that were driven by the night owls that suddenly flew up still couldn't stop shaking slightly.

Staring at the snow in the distance, there was no movement, Situ Yi sighed briefly, relaxed, and the steel crossbow in his hand hung back to his waist silently. The murderous aura that suddenly rose between his eyebrows quietly dissipated, and in his eyes, Fang Cai's vigilant and ruthless gaze like a cheetah was slowly retracted.

Qin Nanxi was stunned for a moment, staring at the shadows of the trees in the distance with wide eyes. Xu was stimulated by fright, and she had ordinary night vision, but at this time, she clearly saw that among the shadows of the trees in the distance, there were several dark figures flashing by. The trend of action was extremely hurried to restrain the footsteps that were running towards Situ Yi's side.

Turning his head in horror, in his half-open mouth, before he could say the warning reminder, Qin Nanxi suddenly found that Situ Yi in front of him was tilting his head sideways, and his slightly raised right hand quietly beckoned in the direction of the woods...

Immediately after, the flickering black shadows in the woods all disappeared into the bottomless night sky.

"Those people are not Feng Zhuwei, they are his secret guards!" Qin Nanxi stared at the quiet woods in the distance, his thoughts flashed, and his hand holding Situ Yi's robe did not loosen and drooped.

Situ Yi didn't pay attention to the doubts in her eyes, clenched her cold and trembling hand, gently tugged her, and took her into his arms, caressed her shoulder and back in distress and comforted softly: "Don't be afraid, I'm here." ”

Qin Nanxi was silent for a long time, and only nodded when he gradually felt some warmth around him.

"Cup, bow and snake shadow, grass and trees are soldiers, am I too careful?" Situ Yi's voice was accompanied by a warm breath around her ears. Although he said this as a question, there was no trace of hesitation in his tone. After encountering the darkness, Situ Yi thought about many things repeatedly in the long-term seclusion. Now, the arrangement around him is clear only to him. Although Liu Qi was already dissatisfied in his words, he still only avoided the important and comforted a few words, and never said in detail.

Qin Nanxi once accompanied him through the dark ambush. Today, I saw him set up a secret guard, and after being shocked for a moment, I didn't care about the inexplicable uneasiness in my heart, and I just single-mindedly looked for him to be so alert and reasonable. At this time, listening to his self-deprecating jokes, he lightly raised his face in his arms, and said with a light smile: "This is good, if Brother Yi could be as vigilant as he is now, many things, I'm afraid they will be different." ”

Situ Yi looked down at the guilt in her eyes, smiled deeply, and said distressedly: "Silly girl, what happened that day has nothing to do with you." Even if they don't take advantage of you, they still have a way of trapping me. ”

He didn't say this just as a relief, according to the return of those he had secretly sent afterwards. Even if Situ Yi didn't go to the appointment of "Qin Nanxi" at that time, Qin Nanfu still had a back hand. Lisa is the person they have buried by Situ Yi's side for a long time, he is the deputy commander of the pro-cavalry battalion, if he wants to attack Situ Yi, it is naturally very cheap. It's just that if that's the case, first, Lisa will be exposed prematurely, and he won't be able to gather the hearts of the people in the Northern Army for them after Situ Yi's disappearance, and second, Qin Nanfu can't take a loud credit to Zhou Huan to maintain the stormy Qin family.

Qin Nanxi didn't know these twists and turns, Situ Yi's eye injury, as well as Mo Dan and Mama Cheng who died to save him, have always been a thorn in her heart, and she regrets it every time she thinks about it.

Seeing her sad expression, Situ Yi could guess her thoughts, hesitated for a moment, and said softly: "Grievances have their own origins, and the matter of Mo Dan and Mama Cheng has nothing to do with you." You have put these things against you in your own heart. Not only useless but also unhelpful. ”

Stunned in his eyes. His eyes were still deep and bright, still full of tenderness, but there was a strange strangeness faintly fluttering under those deep eyes. Qin Nanxi bit the corner of her lip, and finally said in a low voice the plea that had been coiled in her heart: "Brother Yi, Nanxi wants to beg you, forgive my brother." He ...... "Knowing that he was wrong, Qin Nanxi's eyes and voice lowered together.

I only heard Situ Yi sigh lightly and said: "There is a source of grievances, and he is just acting according to orders, each for his own master." Since I can tolerate even his master, there is no reason not to tolerate him. Don't worry, no matter what the situation is in the future, I will never take the initiative to embarrass your brother. ”

Qin Nanxi choked lowly, the heavy word "Xie" was condensed on the tip of his tongue, but he couldn't spit it out, he only buried his face in the crook of his warm neck, nodded desperately, and the hand around his waist couldn't help but tighten it hard.

The two of them tacitly acknowledged, neither of them mentioned the past, and picked out some relaxed and happy words from each other and talked for a long time, until the night was unbearable, and then they returned to the garrison where everyone lived temporarily.

A group of soldiers guarding the patrol in the courtyard of the garrison saw the two of them and bowed from afar. Situ Yi nodded and motioned for them to continue their mission. personally sent her back to the temporary room, Situ Yi turned around and entered the dark backyard of the garrison mansion.

In the night, Situ Yi, who was dressed in black and black, was like a ghost, quietly walking into the courtyard.

A soldier in ordinary military attire stepped forward from afar, bowed and saluted, handed a small bamboo pipe to his hand with both hands, and said in a low voice: "General, this is a new interception today. ”

Situ Yi took the small tube expressionlessly, and took out a plain silk letterhead that was only a finger wide. Through the snow-colored moonlight, I took a closer look. After looking at it, he carefully rolled it into thin strips as it was, and put it back into the bamboo tube from the new.

"Put it back as you always have, keep watching, and don't let them notice."

"Yes," the soldier bowed to receive the order, and stood silently aside.

Situ Yi frowned tightly, and suddenly remembered Liu Qi's sentence of seven points of negative energy, three points of sincerity' and three points of sincerity', the hand behind him couldn't help but clench his fist slightly, and the abrupt knuckle joint immediately made a slight sound. He pursed his lips and thought for a moment, and finally decided not to drag the weak Liu Qi into the whirlpool in front of him, and then explained coldly: "Mr. Liu should be especially careful to guard against it, he is delicate, don't let him see the traces." ”

"Yes" The soldier did not raise his head, but bowed his head and whispered his command.

"Also, tell Xiao Fei that you must ensure the safety of Lord Qin these days." Situ Yi commanded in a low voice, and the lines at the corners of his lips were unusually cold and hard.

"Yes, the people sent by Xiao Niu'er have already contacted Fei Maiden, and the people around Qin Mansion are reliable and competent."

Situ Yi nodded slightly and motioned for him to retreat.
