Chapter 212: Peace
Through the thin white morning light, Xie Shuning could clearly see Yan Huai's dirty face, with a sadness that could not be described in pale words.
She remembered that when she was a child, when she first saw Yan Huai in this life, she was still secretly surprised by the harmony between Yan Huai and Xiao Wan, and surprised by Xiao Wan's gentle concern for him. The memories in her mind always reminded her that those were just illusions, and Yan Huai, who had grown up, asked for the lives of her stepmother and her half-brother.
If Xiao Wan's posture of a late mother had been on him since he was a child, presumably Yan Huai would not be so sad and angry now.
Behind the hatred, what is hidden is only a pure heart that has been shattered into powder because of the discovery of the truth.
She was suddenly not so afraid of Yan Huai.
The young man in front of him stood in the skylight, the hand holding the sword was trembling slightly, and the smile on the corner of his mouth was extremely mocking.
He was laughing at himself for treating Xiao Wan as his mother-in-law in the past, thinking that she treated him really well, and even didn't want to believe that the person who wanted his life would be Xiao Wan, his aunt and stepmother.
Xie Shuning saw the clues from his blood-condensed eyebrows, and the doubts and concerns hidden in her heart became more and more unable to say it like this. First, although she and Yan Huai can barely say that they share hardships, they are still not friends; Second, her suspicions came from events that had happened in her past life, and now those events were five or six years away, and she had no conclusive evidence to verify her suspicions, so even if she did, how could she be believed?
Now she is just a thin figure in the Xie family. The young Miss Eight.
She could only be silent.
Yan Huai suddenly threw the sword in his hand into the charred ruins, with the crushed ice on the spring lake in his eyes, like a pool of extremely cold spring water.
Xie Shuning was a little afraid to look at him. She had something hidden in her heart, and when she faced such a gaze, she couldn't help but feel empty, and her words were blocked in her teeth, as if she was about to rush out of her mouth the next moment. She gritted her teeth and pretended to be calm and turned her face away.
The fire of the Hu family spread in the dark night, burning down the two families next door.
The smoke curling over the ruins was white. With crumbs and a fading burnt smell.
The wind was blowing, but it didn't seem to be able to disperse the heavy haze that permeated this dead village.
Deathly silence –
Suddenly, the sound of horses' hooves sounded in their ears!
Xie Shuning and Yan Huai rushed somewhere almost at the same time, hiding in the collapsed charred house.
The sound of horses' hooves ran fast. The sound of landing was also very light, and it seemed that there were three horses coming in total, but only two of them were light and swift with their hooves, and the other horse clearly fell a little distance.
Yan Huai gathers eyes. Said quickly: "It's the Western Regions Horse." ”
Xie Shuning listened with bated breath. I also agree with his judgment.
"It's not that group of people, it's auspicious!" Yan Huai paused for a moment, and then spit out a sentence categorically.
Xie Shuning was still a little hesitant when she heard this, wouldn't it be a big mistake if she guessed wrong?
At this moment, the sound of horses' hooves had reached the two of them, like thunder and lightning, and the movement was very loud.
In just a moment, someone let out a long "call". The sound of horses' hooves immediately stopped. Immediately afterward, there was a sound of footsteps around. Xie Shuning does not have the ability to distinguish people just by listening to footsteps. But she heard a familiar voice in the gentle wind.
"Do you think that the prince and my young lady will obediently wait here for you to find someone?"
Obviously said what seemed sarcastic, but there was no trace of ridicule in his voice. When the speaker said this sentence in his heart, he must have felt that what he said was very right, not a ridiculous word.
Xie Shuning was overjoyed, she had never known one Turan who could talk like this!
Before she could appear in front of Turan, she heard a familiar voice again: "You don't know your young lady, but I know Shizi." ”
This voice is the guard beside Yan Huai!
Xie Shuning's steps about to take a step froze again, it turned out that the "auspicious" in Yan Huai's mouth was his guard......
If it weren't for him, she would have followed Mr. Yun Zhan back to the Grange, and she would have dressed in clean and comfortable clothes, rolling comfortably on the kang, waiting for Yuzi to peel fresh grapes and deliver them to her mouth.
Xie Shuning grinded her back molars, secretly thinking about what to do.
Who knew that before she could come up with a reason, Yan Huai pushed her violently and pushed her out.
She wanted to retreat, but the retreat behind her had been blocked by him.
"Miss!" When Turan and his party heard the sound, they suddenly turned around and drew their swords and looked over, and when they saw that it was her, they couldn't help but rush over with joy.
Jixiang stood still and did not move.
His own master was really with the eighth lady of the Xie family, and he was standing behind her at this moment, and Ji Xiang couldn't help but feel his heart fluctuate, and he was in a dilemma.
Although Xie Shuning is clearly still a half-grown child in his eyes, the maid next to Miss Xie Jiaba is like that, how can it be better for her, the master? She must have told Shizi that he wanted to kill her. Ji Xiang thought so, only to feel the long-standing stabbing on his skull hurt.
He wanted to kill Xie Shuning, even at this moment, he didn't change his original intention, no matter whether Yan Huai knew the Tao or not, he had a clear conscience.
However, that incident was originally his own opinion, and if Yan Huai knew the truth, he would definitely not easily turn this page over.
Without asking for the master's instructions, he did what he thought he wanted, and he was not able to properly solve the matter. All this, for Jixiang, is tantamount to nailing him to the hot pillar of shame.
His hand was still on the saber at his waist, and his steps were frozen, not knowing how to step forward.
After a while, Yan Huai crossed Xie Shuning, who was tightly blocked by Tulan, and walked towards him, frowning slightly, and said, "Why don't you make a sound?" ”
The auspicious appearance is really embarrassing, even Yan Huai is the first time to see such auspiciousness, and seeing that his expression is a little strange, he can't help but ask suspiciously.
After the master asked, Ji Xiang could only speak: "The subordinates are late, and it is difficult to escape the blame for all deaths." ”
The earthly guards who followed Jixiang hurriedly knelt down on one knee and saluted Yan Huai: "Shizi." ”
"What are you hiding from me?" Yan Huai took a step forward, motioned for him to get up, turned to face Ji Xiang, and asked solemnly.
Although he said a questioning sentence, the tone of his words was very affirmative.
Ji Xiang recalled the ruthlessness of his killing at night, knowing that his master looked young, but he could see it better than anyone else in his heart, and he knew that he couldn't hide it from him at the moment, so he couldn't help but laugh slightly.
"Shizi, this is not the place to talk about things now, please go back and talk about it." He led the horse and urged.
Yan Huai looked at him, then turned his head to look at Xie Shuning's master and servant, "Since yesterday, have you been back to the house?" ”
Ji Xiang was stunned: "Not yet, but the news I got before I came down, Mrs. is looking for you everywhere." ”
"She's looking for me?" Yan Huai frowned, "It seems that she is anxious to see me." ”
Knowing that he was not dead, she must have been anxious at this time and had trouble sleeping.
Yan Huai sneered: "Since she wants to see me like this, let her look for it again." ”
Ji Xiang was stunned: "You're not going home?" After speaking, he came back to his senses and said, "It's okay, it's better to avoid it for the time being, and recuperate from your injuries by the way, than to go back to your home immediately and fight with others." ”
The first team of the Iron and Blood Alliance Tianzi killed five people.
They have lost their vitality and need time to readjust. Jixiang is also covered in injuries, and he must be treated first. The only thing to be thankful for is probably that Yan Huai is still alive.
"Are your injuries serious?" Ji Xiang lowered his voice and looked vigilantly at Tulan, who was standing not far away and carefully checking whether Xie Shuning was injured, "If you don't go back to the house, are you still preparing to enter the city?" ”
The people of the Iron and Blood Alliance, some of whom are auspicious, follow the master closely, so they also live in the Chengguo Mansion on weekdays. The rest of the people also remained in Kyoto, hiding in the city and waiting for them at any time. Heaven and earth Xuanhuang, heaven and earth master Wu, Xuanhuang main detective. Jixiang learned that Xiao Wan was sending people to find Yan Huai, which was the news from the yellow team.
At present, everyone's top priority is to ensure Yan Huai's safety.
But since Xiao Wan has such means to find out their itinerary, presumably after they enter the city, they will be discovered sooner or later.
So this time I rushed here to find someone, and Jixiang only brought a local character escort with him.
In the escort team, eighty percent of them have ghosts.
In this way, it is even more inconvenient for Yan Huai to return to the city to seek the protection of the Iron Blood Alliance.
"Don't go back to the city for the time being, find a place to live outside the city." Yan Huai shook his head.
Ji Xiang should be, and he didn't pay attention to Turan and Xie Shuning, so he prepared to ride Turan's horse and leave without saying a word.
The horse snorted, startling Turan, who was annoyed by Xie Shuning's burnt strand of hair. She hurriedly turned her head to look, and saw that Jixiang was leading her horse to leave, and she was furious: "Stop!" ”
Jixiang turned over and looked at her condescendingly: "The antidote is not needed." ”
He didn't believe it, and there was poison that couldn't be prepared with an antidote! When he returned, he found someone who could naturally prepare an antidote.
Turan strode forward and grabbed the reins, "Words must be counted, since Mr. said that he would give you the antidote when Miss returns safely, you have to ask for it if you don't want it." "If not, wouldn't it be their dishonesty?
The two were at a stalemate, and Xie Shuning and Yan Huai were dumbfounded.
After a while, Xie Shuning called "Turan", "Let him leave the horse behind, as for the antidote, if he doesn't want it, it won't be our breach of contract, it's okay." ”
Turan seemed to suddenly realize when he heard this, and reached out to pull Jixiang's pants, "Dismount!" ”
Jixiang gritted his teeth: "Stinky girl! ”
Yan Huai couldn't help but be stunned for a long time when he saw such auspiciousness for the first time, until Turan was about to tear Jixiang's trousers and the auspicious sword was also across Tulan's neck, he came back to his senses and coughed heavily: "Jixiang, what's the antidote?"
