Their secrets are all hidden in this small pill, once Xiahou Lan opens the pill and discovers the secrets inside, not only will their hard work over this period of time be wasted, but it is also very likely that their identities will be exposed to each other, which is something that must never happen, even if it is death, this situation cannot be allowed to happen.

After seeing Xia Houlan holding the blood-stained pill in his hand, Xia Zuo couldn't tolerate it anymore, roared, and pounced on Xia Houlan with his claws open.

He looks fierce, and if you just look at it, you might really be scared by his appearance.

But Xia Houlan had already tried his skills, and knew that this fine work was not his opponent at all, so when he saw that he was madly rushing towards him, he still stood fearlessly, without the slightest intention of dodging.

Seeing that Xia Houlan did not dodge, he was happy and angry, happy that Xia Houlan was arrogant and arrogant, standing still so defenselessly, no matter how good he was, it was impossible for him to dodge his own attack.

But the angry thing is that Xia Houlan is so defenseless, she clearly doesn't take him in her eyes, and she secretly resolves in her heart that if she succeeds, she will never let him have a chance to live.

In the blink of an eye, the claws of the fine work had already caught in front of Xia Houlan, but even at such a close distance, Xia Houlan still had no intention of dodging.

Seeing this situation, he secretly rejoiced in his heart, feeling that this young man was too arrogant, although he was very skillful and could change shape and change positions in an instant, but if he didn't dodge at such a close position, even if he was fast, it would be impossible to dodge his claws.

The claws of the fine work had already touched the corners of Xia Houlan's clothes at this time, he felt a burst of ecstasy in his heart, and the joy of victory couldn't help but come to his heart.

Just when he was confident that he could kill Xiahou Lan under his claws, a sharp pain suddenly came from his hands.

"Wow! He screamed, and when he looked at his hands again, he saw that the skin had been peeled and the flesh was dripping with blood.

Shocked and suspicious, he immediately looked up at Xia Houlan, wondering what strange trick he used to hurt his hands like this?

But when he looked up, he was shocked to find that in front of him

, where is what Xiahoulan? Rather, it was a stake with a blade hanging from it.

This kind of wooden stake is usually used by soldiers for training, whether it is to practice archery or marksmanship, this simple wooden stake can be used as a target or dummy to practice.

Among the Cao army, there were a large number of Qingzhou troops who had not been trained for a long time, and they were not only not strict in military discipline, but also not skilled, so during the period when the army was stationed outside Xuzhou, the generals of the Cao army were ordered to step up training for them.

The purpose of this is to improve the combat effectiveness of the Qingzhou Army, and secondly, to cultivate their discipline in case of the previous rebellion.

Therefore, there are many such wooden stakes in Cao Ying, which can be seen almost everywhere, but for some reason, this wooden stake suddenly appeared in front of Xizuo, and it was also hung with a sharp blade.

Meticulously grasp it with all his might, a pair of fleshy palms, grasping on the sharp blade, will naturally be injured and bleeding.

I saw that his hands were cut deep by the blade and his bones were visible, and the blood was left on the ground along his fingers, and in a blink of an eye, blood flowed all over the ground.

Even if he is a martial arts practitioner, and he has been in dangerous places all year round, he has seen a lot of life and death things, and he has long been used to such things as injuries.

But now when he saw that his hands were so badly injured and bleeding so much, he couldn't help but panic.

"Why are you so careless?"

At this time, Xia Houlan's voice came from the side, and after taking a closer look, he saw that Xia Houlan was walking out from behind the stake, and he was like before, unknowingly, he changed his position, and let Xi Zuo catch the wrong target.

The first time he caught the wrong rabbit he used to tell the news, but this time it was not so lucky, it was a stake with a blade hanging from it, and as soon as he grabbed his claws, he was immediately severely injured by the sharp blade.

Hosaku asked in horror, "You, how did you avoid it?" ”

I don't understand, I can clearly see that my claws are grabbing Xia Houlan himself, and my hands are touching his clothes, why did he instantly catch it, but it turned into a stake with a blade?

Could it be that the one in front of you may not be a person at all?

Thinking of this, I couldn't help but fight

Shivering.

I saw Xia Houlan smile evilly: "Avoid? What nonsense? I've been standing here all along, and I've never moved, and you're the one who bothered you with this stake for some reason. ”

He glanced at the bloody blade on the stake, and then smiled teasingly at the stake, "It's a good thing that this stake brother will defend himself with weapons, otherwise, he would definitely be like that poor rabbit." ”

was originally shocked and suspicious, but when he heard Xiahou Lan teasing him, he suddenly understood that he had made all of this a ghost.

I saw that Hosaku endured the pain and asked, "Who are you?" ”

Xia Houlan sneered: "Are you stupid, or are you forgetful?" As I said, you're not qualified to know. ”

It was only at this time that the fine work realized that from the very beginning, this young man was playing with himself, his skills were far above him, and it was impossible for him to escape, let alone fight, he only hated himself for being lucky, and wanted to try his luck and try to see if he could escape from death.

As a result, there was no chance of success at all, and his attempt was only to increase the humiliation and be played by the other party as a fool.

After being humiliated by Xiahou Lan, he was ashamed and angry, although he was not a big man, but as a person who practiced martial arts, he still had a little backbone, he knew that he was invincible, his hands were also injured, and he didn't even have a chance to fight to the death.

Under the shame and indignation, he yelled at Xiahou Lan: "If you want to kill, kill it, why do you tease me again and again?" ”

After hearing this, Xia Houlan said with an innocent face: "Why are you talking nonsense, I didn't do anything?" Why do they tease you? ”

As soon as Xiahou Lan's words fell, a gloomy voice smiled and said, "Lan, I haven't seen you for many years, you are still so useless, you only dare to bully things weaker than you?" ”

As soon as Xia Houlan heard that voice, he suddenly became terrified, this voice was what he often heard in nightmares, and it often woke him up from his dreams, and now that he heard it here, how could he not make Xia Houlan tremble?

Xiahou Lan changed her previous casual appearance, and immediately became fully vigilant and observed the surroundings.

Because this was Cao Ying, surrounded by Cao Jun's people, and he was facing an enemy who was much weaker than himself, Xia Houlan had only relaxed his guard before.
