Chapter Twenty-Nine: The Mysterious Man
Xizhu woke up from his sleep, and he was already sweating profusely at this time, but just when he was in shock, he felt an inexplicable palpitation in his heart again.
"How so!"
Xizhu exclaimed, it felt as if something was about to happen that had terrified him to the extreme.
At this moment, suddenly something seemed to flash outside the house, although everything only happened for a moment, but it was obvious in the already quiet and bright moonlit night, and the sudden movement also attracted Xizhu's attention in an instant.
"Who!"
Xizhu lost his voice, and then saw him quickly get up from the bed and quickly came to the door, seeing that he hesitated for a moment and then stretched out his hands towards the door, but when he opened the door, he found that everything in the General's Mansion in the middle of the night seemed very quiet, and there seemed to be nothing abnormal.
The servants had already rested, but strangely enough, the same moment when Xizhu pushed open the door, they felt a slight breeze blowing, with a slight chill.
Xizhu frowned, and after he carefully looked at the small courtyard in front of him, he rubbed his eyes vigorously, looking for no result, he shook his head again, thinking back to what he had happened to him these days, maybe it was just an illusion.
But just as he was about to turn around and go back to the house to go to sleep, suddenly a cool night breeze hit behind him, and Xizhu was stunned, because the gust of wind was very strange, as if something was passing quickly behind him!
"Who, come out for me!"
Xizhu was startled, and turned sharply to look outside the house again, the uneasiness in his heart became more and more obvious, but this time when he turned around, the small courtyard behind him was still empty.
Seeing this scene, Xizhu began to retreat cautiously behind him, and even his throat was unconsciously dry, thinking that this was the border city general's mansion, and it was difficult for some unclean things to dare to be presumptuous here.
Unconsciously, his mind once again remembered the black shadow he encountered outside the county seat of Qixian County, as well as the encounter in the mountain behind the bandit's den in Heifeng Village.
"Why did you wake ......me up?"
Just when Xizhu was undecided, suddenly a strange voice sounded in the originally silent courtyard, Xizhu's face changed again, when he turned back sharply to look at the voice, he found that a strange figure had appeared in the originally empty courtyard at some point!
"You...... Who are you!"
If there was really someone, Xizhu was shocked.
"Although I don't quite understand why, since you woke me up in this world, you can be regarded as half of my life-saver, and I also feel an unusual aura from you!"
The man stood quietly in the other corner of the courtyard, his body just blocked by the shadow of the courtyard wall, and he could not really see his real appearance, only a rough outline of him.
But if it weren't for his sudden opening, the figure that almost coincided with the shadows would have been easily overlooked.
"What are you talking about, what lifesaver?"
Hearing the other party's next words clearly, Xizhu was stunned at first, because the other party's sudden appearance had already surprised him, and this opening made him confused at all.
Hearing Xizhu's rhetorical question, the man was silent at first, and then seemed to be muttering to himself: "Although it may be just a coincidence that you saved me, but without you, I am afraid that I will sleep forever, and there will be no peace here tonight, I owe you a favor, and I will pay it back to you now!"
"You!"
Xizhu had even more doubts in his heart, he tried his best to keep himself awake, maybe it was a dream now, a very strange dream, because how could such a strange person appear in the general's mansion in this city.
But no matter how he sobered himself up, everything around him didn't change, but the figure in the moonlight actually moved, and I saw that he slowly turned around and walked out of the courtyard under Xizhu's gaze.
"Hmm, who the hell are you, you haven't answered me yet!"
The look of doubt in Xizhu's eyes became more and more intense, and for some reason, when the figure appeared, in addition to palpitations, he also had an indescribable familiar feeling.
It seems that the existence of the other party really has some indescribable connection with him, so when the other party left, there was a trace of hesitation in Xizhu's heart, as if there was something on the other party's body that was attracting him.
It was just that at this moment of his thought, the silhouette of the strange creature had disappeared in front of him.
"Who the hell are you, and what do you mean by that?"
"If you want to live, then come on!"
The sound of a long voice sounded, Xizhu was stunned for a moment, and then looked up at the night sky above his head after rubbing his forehead vigorously, the feeling of uneasiness became stronger and stronger, something big must have happened, this is an intuition, an indescribable and indescribable intuition.
"Wait...... Wait for me!"
Finally, Xizhu, who was hesitant, chose to follow after gritting his teeth.
In the border city shrouded in night, the bright moonlight dyed the quiet street white like frost and snow, and there was no one on the street at this time, not even a sound at all, but there were two strange figures rushing forward one after the other.
Xizhu gasped, at this time he had already followed the guy out of the General's Mansion, but the strange thing was that even in the heavily guarded General's Mansion in the past, he appeared on the street of the border city without encountering any obstacles.
After that strange figure, although Xizhu always wanted to catch up quickly, there seemed to be a strange distance between the two forever, a distance that he couldn't catch up with.
The night on the street of the border city became more and more cold, and Xizhu couldn't help but put away his clothes, only to find that he had not brought his coat with him because he was in too much hurry.
"Where the hell are you going?"
Xizhu shouted loudly.
"I'll get you out of here!"
This time, the man finally answered Xizhu's words, but the doubts in Xizhu's heart were even stronger, and he began to feel uneasy in his heart, why did such a person suddenly appear, and he couldn't control himself from leaving with the other party, as if he was inexplicably confused, and this is really not a dream?
So in that strange situation, Xizhu suddenly stopped and stopped following the other party forward.
"Huhuhu~"
In the midst of the strange wind that was also full of strange sounds, Xizhu seemed to hear other sounds, very chaotic and chaotic.
When those weird voices sounded, I saw Xizhu's brows furrowed slightly, and he looked up and looked around again, but the weird sound seemed to have no roots, and people couldn't tell the specific direction at all.
Shaking his head, Xizhu always felt that something was wrong, seeing that he looked back at the figure in front of him again, which was still facing away from him, he felt that this matter was too strange, and he must have fallen into some evil.
At this thought, Xizhu gritted his teeth and finally chose to stop.
"How can my Xizhu Gongzi be confused by you, even if it's a dream, I want him to listen to me!"
When the words fell, Xizhu let out a sigh of relief, and he no longer chose to follow the figure in front of him to continue walking, but suddenly chose to turn around and look at the way he came.
"Huh?"
Feeling Xizhu's reaction, the mysterious figure also stopped from the street in front of Xizhu, only to see him turn around and look at Xizhu's back, and a rare look of doubt suddenly appeared on his face.
"Humph!"
Maybe he noticed the change in the other party, Xizhu was secretly proud in his heart, and now he had attributed all this to a dream of his, only to see that he suddenly raised his right foot and stepped forward, about to go back.
But when he took this step, he was suddenly stunned, and suddenly turned his head and looked in the other direction of the border city!
"Huh?"
When Xizhu's expression changed greatly, the figure standing behind him also noticed something, and saw that he also turned his head to look in the same direction as Xizhu's gaze almost at the same time, but at this time, his dark pupils revealed a depth that had never been seen before.
"What do you feel?"
The man muttered, and then looked back at Xizhu, and the puzzle on his face became even stronger.
It's just that at this moment, Xizhu seems to have suddenly fallen into some kind of struggle, because for a moment, he felt a kind of tremor in his heart, a sudden tremor.
"Whew~"
Just when Xizhu fell into that strange state, a strange wind suddenly blew again, blowing on his body, making him stiff, and at this time, the figure that brought him to this side of the city behind Xizhu had appeared behind Xizhu, and then a cold hand was once again on Xizhu's shoulder.
Then, the streets of the border city soon returned to quiet, as if nothing had happened.
Soon after, on the other side of the border city, in front of a majestic mansion, Xizhu and the mysterious man appeared here.
Looking up at the gate of the mansion, the black plaque is engraved with the three big characters of "Beicheng Mansion"!
The guy standing behind Xizhu frowned, on the other hand, Xizhu's face on his side was already extremely pale, and he stared blankly at the Beicheng Mansion in front of him, there seemed to be something in it that was attracting him.
"Here...... It's fierce!"
The mysterious man said, his tone also became very solemn, because there was a strange smell of blood in the air here, and there was a smell of decay, but ignoring everything around him, Xizhu stared at the Beicheng Mansion in front of him, and suddenly took a step towards the closed gate of the Beicheng Mansion!
"Squeak~"
After a shrill sound sounded, the gate of the Beicheng Mansion, which seemed to be closed but was actually hidden, was pushed open.
For a moment, the smell of rotten blood in the air became stronger and stronger.
The mysterious man followed Xizhu into the gate of Beicheng Mansion, his eyes narrowed slightly, with the unusual aura around him, maybe he had guessed something in his heart.
It's just that he is still wondering in his heart, what is the connection between all this and the young man in front of him, why does he have such a strong feeling!
