Chapter 286: Untouchable Salty Rain
The cold rain followed the hail like an arrow, coldly smashing into the dense forest, Xiao Thirteen turned around in the rain and was surprised to find that the Nine Princes were squatting by the tree and looking at him.
"Nine Emperor Brothers, it turns out that you are also here, Brother Chen's brother is here!" Little Thirteen beckoned happily to the Nine Princes.
The Ninth Prince looked at him angrily, and muttered in a low voice: "Stupid, what are you calling this king to do at this time?" β
In the dark, a long arrow was aimed at his throat, and with a flick of his fingers, the black arrow shot towards the Nine Princes.
Seeing Xiao Thirteen rushing towards him with a sword, the Nine Princes grabbed the black arrow shot from the right rear with one hand, and was stunned, "This is the black feather arrow of this king, what the hell is Ming Huaguo doing!" β
He gritted his teeth and pulled out the black arrow, stretched his bow towards the dense forest, aiming at the black shadow shuttling through the dense forest, the other party's speed was extremely fast, so fast that it was difficult to catch, and could only leave an afterimage in the line of sight.
He concentrated on one point, hoping to shoot, and suddenly, the group photo jumped up the tree, and he raised his bow and arrow in surprise, only to find that the other party was holding his black arrow, aiming at Little Thirteen's head.
The little thirteen in the spacious place suddenly became a living target.
Cold sweat dripped down the forehead of the Nine Princes, and the choice was only for a moment, he turned his focus and aimed at Xiao Thirteen, and the other party looked at him in astonishment, watching the Nine Princes pull their bows and arrows towards him.
"Brother Nine Emperors, why do you..."
Before the words were finished, a cold arrow shot from a distance, and the Nine Princes flicked their fingers without hesitation, allowing the off-string arrow to shoot towards Xiao Thirteen, and the arrow gently brushed the cold arrow, causing it to deviate from the trajectory and fall to the ground.
The worried young man's shoulders had not yet relaxed, and the second cold arrow came at the seam, the eyes of the Nine Princes trembled slightly, and when he raised his hand to pull out the arrow, the arrow of the cold arrow was already close to Xiao Thirteen's temple.
"Little Thirteenβ"
The shouts of the Nine Princes penetrated the entire dense forest, startling the birds and beasts of the forest, the sky suddenly darkened, the vision was dark, and no one knew what was happening in the dark.
When the light returned, Dragon Thirteen was already lying in a pool of blood.
The Nine Princes looked at the little thirteen who fell to the ground in a daze, stunned, he eased the anxiety in his heart, rushed over, picked up Long Thirteen with his eyes closed, and called his name anxiously.
"Little Thirteen, wake up quickly, don't scare the royal brother, little thirteen, stop playing, wake up quickly, the imperial brother can't stand the scare, don't play." The Nine Princes trembled and turned over his palms, his hands were bright red, dripping with blood, and tears suddenly fell on his palms, staining them with blood red.
He hugged Xiao Thirteen tightly and cried silently, his good brother who cherished and doted on him now, lying unconsciously in his arms, the ice and rain ruthlessly washed the red blood on the ground.
The tearful man, with red eyes, stared coldly at the black shadow in the dense forest, and said with deep hatred: "You dare to kill my imperial brother, my dragon Jiutian swears here, in this life, exhaust the blood of the bones, destroy the soul of the moon and ascend, and drink the blood of Minghua." β
"Yo-he-"
A small head stretched out from the dense forest, and the Nine Princes looked at the Eyeless Mask in front of him in astonishment, and after being stunned for a moment, he stared at her viciously: "It turned out to be you, you are a lackey sent by Minghua!" β
"What are you doing? Why cry? The upside-down masked girl looked at him suspiciously and asked puzzled.
The Nine Princes pulled out the sharp arrow with lightning speed, aimed at the girl's neck, and in the blink of an eye, a moment of silver light flashed in the air, and the front end of the sharp arrow was quietly cut off, and it fell to the ground with a click, and he didn't even see the movement clearly.
An inexplicable and familiar fear struck him, as if he had met someone familiar and terrifying.
"Why didn't you answer my question?" The masked girl persistently asked.
"You are..."The Nine Princes steadied his heartbeat, trying to search his mind for the memory of the masked man, for a long time, he still couldn't remember when he had experienced this familiar sense of horror.
"He's not dead, why are you crying?" The masked girl hanging upside down on the tree rolled over and landed, probed Xiao Thirteen's snort, and said without emotion: "Isn't he still breathing?" Why are you crying so sadly? β
"Little Thirteen hasn't yet..." The Nine Princes lowered his head in shock, touched Little Thirteen's warm face, probed the pulse in his neck, it was still beating, and suddenly his heart was overjoyed, "Great, it turns out that you are not dead yet." β
The masked girl shook her head and asked incomprehensibly, "Are you gods of war so strange?" Crying and laughing. β
"Why are you here?" A trace of doubt flashed in the eyes of the Nine Princes, and his vigilance was still as tight as a bowstring.
"Why can't I be here, he's my friend, I don't want him dead." The Masked Man didn't answer his question confronted.
The Ninth Prince frowned and looked at her and asked, "You know Little Thirteen, so why did he pass out on the ground?" β
"The one who was knocked out by me, to protect him, it's too much of a hindrance." The masked man stretched out his index finger and spun a silver double-horned boomerang, replying without emotion.
"And what's the matter with the blood on his body?"
"The blood wasn't his." The masked man replied coldly.
"Uh..."The Nine Princes were stunned, thinking of another person who fell in a pool of blood - Fengchengjun.
The masked man seemed to have guessed his thoughts, and said in a flat tone: "That person is not dead, your heart of the god of war is good or bad, not only curse my grandfather, but also say that the other party is dead." β
"He's not dead? Didn't Little Thirteen kill him with a sword just now? β
The Nine Princes watched in amazement as the masked man pointed to the boar corpse on the ground, stained with blood.
She explained in detail: "This flour man just didn't know what he had done, he provoked a boar, and he was chased to cry and cry for his mother, and the little thirteen who passed by was kind enough to save him, but he was scared unconscious." β
"I see..."
For a while, the Nine Princes had too many questions about her in their minds, and they didn't know where to start.
"You've been following Little Thirteen?"
"Hmm." The masked man nodded casually.
"Who are you, what is the purpose of deliberately approaching this king and the emperor's brother, or are you the secret guard of Little Thirteen?"
"What's the Dark Guard?" The masked man doesn't understand.
"That's it."
An arrow came at him without warning, and the masked man threw a boomerang as if nothing had happened, and the moment the boomerang touched the arrow, it was like a gust of wind, cutting the arrow in half and piercing it towards the archer eyebrow.
In just a snap of his fingers, the black shadow hiding in the shadows died and fell to the ground, and the masked man said casually: "Everyone else has fallen, and the one just now should be the last one." β
"You..."The Nine Princes looked at the masked man suspiciously, shocked in his heart.
How could a teenager who lived alone in the snowy mountains with his grandfather have such unfathomable skills?
The other party must not be an ordinary person, but fortunately, the boy has no ill will towards himself and Little Thirteen.
Otherwise, with Xiao Thirteen, I am afraid it will be difficult for him to get out of the whole body.
"You, don't you cry?" The masked man said disappointedly as if looking at an epiphany that had been waiting for a long time to bloom, withering in front of his eyes.
The Nine Princes raised his sleeves and wiped his tears, and turned his face away in displeasure, "This king is not crying, this is rain." β
The slender fingertips wiped the tears from his cheeks, put them on the tip of his tongue and tasted them, "It's salty, you lie, it's tears." β
"This king said that this is rain is rain, and today, it is salty." The Nine Princes said nonsense.
"Salty rain?" The masked man nodded and jumped back into the tree again.
Seeing that she was leaving, the Nine Princes hugged the sleeping little thirteen and asked, "Where are you going?" β
"I'm going back to tell my grandfather that it's raining today, and he hasn't seen it yet, so he must be very happy."
The masked man's voice grew farther and farther away, and he could only faintly hear the last few words.
"Actually... Convinced? β
The stunned Nine Princes held Xiao Thirteen all the way through the dense forest, and there were assassins' corpses everywhere, all of them carrying the iconic bow and arrow - the yellow sword feathers of the Liuque Army of the Minghua Kingdom, the sparrow has always been the sacred bird of the Minghua Kingdom, therefore, after the sparrow dies, it will not only be buried in the mausoleum, but also have its own tombstone.
However, there is a strange custom in Minghua that they will pluck the feathers off the corpses of sparrows, dye them golden yellow, and make sword feathers.
He had fought with the Liuque Army on the battlefield for a long time, and he didn't know how many times he had seen this kind of sword feathers?
Judging by his skills, he does look like a person in the Liuque army.
However, why did Ming Hua Kingdom deliberately attack him with the sword feathers of the Liuque Army, it was like telling him with great fanfare that Ming Hua was declaring war on you.
A piece of hailstone hit Little Thirteen's eyebrows, causing him to wake up suddenly.
"Brother Huang, don't, don't kill me!"
The expression on the face of the Nine Princes instantly became very indifferent, and as usual, he threw his hands on the ground to implement his iron education.
"Who's going to kill you useless little!"
Long Thirteen frowned tightly and touched his aching buttocks, "Emperor, Imperial Brother, didn't you just want to kill me?" β
"yes, it's easier to kill you than to save you." A trace of coldness flashed in the eyes of the Nine Princes, and he said lightly: "You white-eyed wolf." β
"Brother Huang, what does this mean?"
Just after walking a few steps, Xiao Thirteen, who had just woken up from a dream, stepped on the corpse lying on the ground, "Emperor, brother Huang, who are they?" Could it be an assassin? β
"Do you still have time to care who they are?" The Nine Princes asked rhetorically.
Little Thirteen shook his head in confusion.
"Aren't you going to win the competition today and marry the eldest princess of Minghua Kingdom? Don't go yet! The Nine Princes said angrily.
"Yes, thank you Brother Huang for reminding me."
"Wait."
Just as Xiao Thirteen was about to walk away, the Nine Princes stopped him and asked, "Do you know a young man wearing a mask?" β
The man in front of him paused, as if he didn't want to answer the question.
"Brother Huang, what are you talking about, what a young man wearing a mask, my brother doesn't know him..."
"Little Thirteen, do you know that every time you lie, your left index finger will move? Don't try to tell a lie in front of your royal brother, as long as you your tail, the royal brother will know what you want to do. The Nine Princes had a straight face and said with a straight face.
"Well, she is a friend of the minister's brother, I met by chance, the minister's brother was when she was hungry, gave her a few pieces of bread to eat, and after that, she would occasionally appear, ask the minister's brother for something to eat, come and go, we became friends, her skills are very good, the minister's brother once asked her, if she wanted to be the king's guard, she said no, and said... will come to the rescue of the younger brother when he encounters danger. β
"Like that?" The Nine Princes pondered.
"Just now? What happened just now, by the way, Brother Huang, why did you just aim the arrow at your brother? Little Thirteen asked in a panic.
"Let's go back and explain this, what's his name?"
Xiao Thirteen asked suspiciously, "Who?" β
"The boy in the white mask."
"She, I don't know her full name, my brother usually calls her Ah San, she is from the rivers and lakes, and Ah Sang is probably not her real name."
"Ahsan?"
The Nine Princes called softly, but there was no memory of this young man in his mind, where did that familiar sense of fear come from.
Is it just simple, afraid of the teenager with a huge disparity in strength, or is it too surprised in my heart and causes a gap?
"Brother Nine Emperors, what's wrong with Ah San?"
"It's nothing, you go quickly, you are already a big step behind, maybe the twenty battalions arranged by the eldest princess of Minghua have long been occupied."
"Ahhh
