Chapter 57: Murder

The holy decree of military training has been issued, and with it not only the equipment in the army, but also more than ten good horses. After Xie Ning reluctantly selected fifty people with good equestrian skills from the three hundred people, he turned around and watched another group of people practice archery.

Since the beginning of July, the weather has become hotter and hotter. This made Xie Ning, who had deliberately dressed up to hide his identity as a woman, suffer a lot, and his already not fair complexion was darkened, not to mention, the close-fitting chest cloth was even more permeated with sweat beads every day. But fortunately, there are all kinds of things in the other courtyard, and there are ears of grain to accompany her, so she bathes and changes clothes every day, which is not very uncomfortable.

After disbanding two groups of hard-trained recruits, Xie Ning wiped the beads of sweat on his forehead, turned around and went to the main camp tent to find Qin Feng.

"Brother Ziyue-" Seeing the slender figure sleeping on the couch in the tent, Xie Ning's voice froze, and he was about to retreat outside the tent when he was called.

Qin Feng got up in his clothes, and Xiao Mei's voice was slightly hoarse after a while, "A-Ning, let's take a break from the camp today." ”

"Good. Then I'll tell Traceless. Seeing that he was still tired, Shainin had no intention of disturbing, and walked out very consciously.

Before he could stop her, Qin Feng stretched out his hand and rubbed his eyebrows, looked at Xie Ning's back as he turned to leave, and sighed, and ordered in the empty tent: "You go to find her, remember to order someone to bring the grain ears." ”

***

After dinner, Xie Ning joked with everyone for a while, and then set up their own tents. With the assistance of No Trace, the two of them quickly set up the place where Shainin lived tonight next to the open space outside the main tent.

"The prince ordered me to inform the girl. Hot water has been set up in the tent. I'll be outside the tent, you don't have to worry about it. ”

Knowing that he was talking about the main business account, Xie Ning secretly appreciated it, but his eyes swept over Traceless's face, and the corners of his mouth twitched: "Then I'll go over, Brother Traceless, you better go elsewhere." I can also do some kung fu, and others can hear the movement when they are close. ”

Regarding this act of taking the wind for others, Wuxian was obviously as uncomfortable as Xie Ning, and without too much hesitation, he said: "It's okay, this is the main tent." I had told them not to enter. ”

Xie Ning smiled back and entered the main tent. Sweat was sticking to her body, and she wished she could take a good shower and relax.

Bypassing the screen behind the soft couch, you will see a bath tub filled with moisture. Xie Ning neatly changed his clothes, took the white towel prepared by the side and stepped in.

After all, it was in the paddock, and it was Qin Feng's tent, Xie Ning took care of it, so he didn't plan to soak for too long. Unexpectedly, she was only halfway through the wash, and there was a rustling sound in her ears. The tight string in Xie Ning's mind suddenly broke, she didn't have time to think about who it was, and she didn't care about wiping off the water marks on her body, so she hurriedly jumped out of the bathtub, grabbed the clothes that had been put on nearby earlier, and hurriedly put them on.

She was the only woman in the paddock, and if someone found her, the consequences would be unimaginable.

After Xie Ning put on his middle coat, he secretly held his breath and covered his body with Qin Feng's robe, while shaking the tips of his ears, trying to deduce the location of the person.

The sound of breathing in her ears became heavier, Xie Ning heard the sound of the curtain, and knew that the person had entered the account, her heart tightened, but she slowly moved her steps, stood on the side of the screen, and quietly moved her gaze.

On the other side of the screen, a figure in iron armor knelt on a long table in front of the soft couch, rummaging for something.

Clenching his fists, Xie Ning slowly approached, identifying his identity from the side face of the man, and when he was startled, his complexion changed, and he exclaimed, "Chen Yancong!" ”

Unexpectedly, there was someone in the account, the man shook his hands, picked up a few books on the case, and subconsciously wanted to run away, but was stopped by Xie Ning quickly.

"Is that you? Are you a woman? Chen Yancong was pressed by Xie Ning step by step, and after identifying it again and again, he was shocked, but his subordinates did not slow down, took off the sword hanging by the tent, and stabbed at Xie Ning quickly.

Caught off guard, Xie Ning jumped forward, narrowly dodging the cold light that reached the center of his eyebrows, and he had a little more understanding of the hidden strength of the person in front of him, and when he came back to his senses, he found that the other party just threw the sword in his hand, and had already taken advantage of the gap to run out.

Everyone should be in the tent, since Chen Yancong chose to sneak at this time, there must be no one outside the tent, and he was sent away by her without a trace, if he really asked him out of the tent, I am afraid that it will be difficult to catch him.

Just made a move, but after a while, Xie Ning saw that the martial arts of the two were really between them, and she was confident that with her best efforts, she might not be able to restrain Chen Yancong.

Picking up the brass paperweight on the case, Xie Ning used force on his wrist and smashed it in the direction of his legs.

"Smack!" With a loud bang, Xie Ning didn't bother to see how badly Chen Yancong was smashed, and rushed forward with an arrow, intending to capture Chen Yancong, who was blocked from escaping.

At this moment, the curtain was suddenly lifted from the outside. The two people in the tent were shocked, and they looked distractedly, and saw Qin Feng walking in.

"Brother Ziyue, be careful!"

Compared to Xie Ning, Chen Yan was closer to the tent door, and before Xie Ning's reminder could be exported, he had already rushed towards Qin Feng.

Xie Ning's heart tightened, picked up the sword that was thrown on the ground, and was about to throw it subconsciously, but after seeing the two figures entangled in one place, he retracted his movements.

The distance was too far, but Qin Feng and Chen Yancong were too close, and Xie Ning was only afraid of being injured by mistake and did not dare to act recklessly. But the urgency of the situation did not allow her to hesitate. With a light tap on her tiptoes, she first jumped onto a high chair, and then took advantage of her strength to descend, landing in front of the two of them.

Looking at the two people who were scuffling, Xie Ning, who was about to step forward, suddenly fainted in his mind and almost fell to the ground.

I was in too much of a hurry. Xie Ning paused in place for a moment, and after stabilizing his figure, he lifted the long sword in his hand and walked forward, but in her sight was the scene of Qin Feng being pressed to the ground by Chen Yancong, she gritted her teeth, fixed Chen Yancong's figure, and took advantage of his unpreparedness, she jumped forward and pressed her knees heavily on his legs.

There was a cry of pain in her ears, Xie Ning felt Chen Yancong's struggle, her eyes looked down, but she caught a glimpse of Qin Feng's pale face and restrained hands, she subconsciously defended, and the long sword in her hand had been sent into Chen Yancong's abdomen.

Chen Yancong's body fell to the ground, blood gushing out. Xie Ning's heart was empty, but only the sound of the two of them breathing came from his ears.

Qin Feng lifted Chen Yancong's arms from his body, got up and knelt beside Xie Ning.

Not feeling Qin Feng's worried gaze, Xie Ning's hand gripping the hilt of the sword loosened, and he approached in vain, trying to discern the truth that the man lying on the ground was still alive.

"A-Ning," Qin Feng stepped forward, stretched out his arms to hug the trembling Xie Ning, and there was pity hidden in his soft tone, "It's okay, don't be afraid." ”

"I'm not afraid." Xie Ning closed his eyes, tears slid down his face, dripping on his bloodstained clothes, and turned into a light red.

Feeling her increasingly shaky figure, Qin Feng was at a loss for a while, and then hugged the girl in front of him even harder.
