The black shadow was stunned for a moment, then immediately reacted, dodged his sword, and attacked Deng Xiaoxian with a short knife in his hand. The next few also quickly attacked.

Tonight's assassins don't seem to be idle, even though Deng Xiaoxian's martial arts skills are good and he can cope with it at first, but he is gradually falling behind.

The sound of fighting from here quickly alarmed Qi Jingyun and Qiao Mingyue.

"What's going on?" The county lord of Baocheng was also awakened, her eyes widened, and she looked a little scared, "It seems to be coming from next door." A moment of fear was followed by a deep interest, and she lifted the quilt, as if to take a look.

Qiao Mingyue guessed that someone should have committed murder, and was about to go to see it, seeing that she looked eager to try, she felt a slight headache, and thought about it, the county lord of Baocheng must have never seen this kind of scene, in order to avoid her from adding some unnecessary trouble, Qiao Mingyue stunned her with a knife, "I'm sorry, you can sleep for a while." Qiao Mingyue said in a low voice.

When Qiao Mingyue entered, Qi Jingyun had already joined the battle, and with Qi Jingyun's help, the situation was immediately reversed.

Deng Xiaoxian was really embarrassed at the moment, his face was full of blood, I don't know if it was someone else's or his, but he looked at his posture and was quite agile, so he shouldn't be injured. Compared to him, Qi Jingyun is much cleaner, he is holding a long sword, and he is a little unable to use it in a small room, but fortunately, his martial arts are strong, and he can deal with two assassins by himself.

"Be careful!" Qiao Mingyue exclaimed in surprise, she saw that the assassin who had fallen before stood up silently again, raised the short knife and prepared to deal a fatal blow to Qi Jingyun. Qiao Mingyue shouted reflexively, and at the same time, the dagger in his hand quickly flew out.

The blade sank into the heart with precision, and the Assassin's hand froze as he raised the knife, and he jerked violently a few times, and fell to the ground, completely dying.

At the same time, Qi Jingyun wiped the neck of the last person with his sword, and a string of blood splashed on Qi Jingyun's face, and he tilted his head slightly. The dark clouds had dispersed at some point, and the moonlight spread on his face, looking a little more bewitching than he usually was.

The room quickly returned to quiet, and Deng Xiaoxian then remembered that they were still angry, and he pursed his lips a little uncomfortably. Without saying a word, they went over and lit the lamp, and the room instantly brightened, and they saw the miserable situation in the house.

Qiao Mingyue didn't notice Deng Xiaoxian's discomfort, she walked over and pulled out the dagger, her knife used all her strength, the blade completely submerged into his body, and Qiao Mingyue used a lot of strength to pull it out. She looked at the blood on the dagger, frowned, and wiped the blood from the assassin's body.

"What is this?" With the light, Qiao Mingyue faintly saw a small tattoo on the back of the assassin's neck, because it was hidden under the collar, it was usually not visible, and he didn't pay attention to it in the dark just now, but just now Qiao Mingyue inadvertently pulled the clothes down a little, and the tattoo was exposed, which looked like a totem.

Qi Jingyun and Deng Xiaoxian came to check when they heard the sound, Deng Xiaoxian shone it with a lamp, and the appearance of the tattoo was clearly exposed in front of the three of them.

"Is this an eagle?" Qiao Mingyue took a closer look, the totem looked very simple, and she could vaguely see that it was an eagle with wings spread.

Deng Xiaoxian pondered for a moment and said, "It's Chi Pengtian." ”

"It's the general of Nanzhao." Qi Jingyun said that although he didn't ask about the government, he still knew a little about these things.

"Nanzhao General Chi Pengtian, decisive in killing, using soldiers like a god, strategy and courage are too ordinary, very much valued by Emperor Nanzhao, but this person has a very fatal point, that is, he is very belligerent, and he is domineering and arrogant, and he has offended many people." Qi Jingyun explained briefly.

Qiao Mingyue nodded, indicating understanding. She had heard this person say from General Qiao before, and he was a very powerful opponent.

Deng Xiaoxian's face was a little ugly, "That's right, it's him." You may not know that the Nanzhao court is now divided into two factions, one faction is the main peace, which wants to form an alliance with the Great Zhou and coexist peacefully, and the other faction is the main battle, hoping to conquer the Great Zhou in one fell swoop. This is the first time Deng Xiaoxian has talked to them about Nanzhao, and both of them have listened very carefully, in case it helps them.

Qiao Mingyue said without hesitation: "He is the main battle faction? "It is obvious that Deng Xiaoxian is the main peace faction.

Deng Xiaoxian did not deny it, "Yes, there has been a long debate in the court about this matter before, but it has not been concluded, and the emperor has been wavering, and then he thought of a way." ”

"I guess it has something to do with the treasure map." Qiao Mingyue said.

Deng Xiaoxian glanced at her meaninglessly, "You know again." ”

But it's true. The emperor asked us to find the treasure map, and whoever found it first would dedicate the treasure map to him, and his opinion would be adopted. Hearing that I was going back to Nanzhao, maybe Chi Pengtian thought that I had found the treasure map, and he had been looking at me unpleasantly before, so he made a killer. The blood on Deng Xiaoxian's body had gradually dried up, but he still couldn't stand this feeling, and he frowned a little irritably.

"The top priority is that we must find the treasure map as soon as possible and dedicate it to the emperor, otherwise if Chi Pengtian finds it, he will definitely raise troops to attack the Great Zhou, and the consequences will be unimaginable!" Deng Xiaoxian said that in the end, he was a little emotional.

After talking for a long time, he found that Qi Jingyun and Qiao Mingyue didn't react, and he couldn't help but be a little puzzled, "Chi Pengtian is going to attack Da Zhou, aren't you in a hurry?" "That's not normal, isn't it?

The two immediately pretended to be very anxious, "Of course you're in a hurry, how can you not be in a hurry?" But is the most important thing right now to find a treasure map? So what should we do now? Qiao Mingyue hurriedly said,

Qi Jingyun thought for a moment and said, "Our whereabouts have already been known, and I'm afraid it won't be safe to go to the capital again." ”

"Or, let's go to Jinguan City!" Qiao Mingyue proposed.

After speaking, the two looked at Deng Xiaoxian together.

Seeing this, Deng Xiaoxian also dispelled his previous doubts, he didn't know Da Zhou, and he hadn't been to Jinguan City, so he could only be arranged by Qi Jingyun and Qiao Mingyue.

"I'm okay with that."

After discussing, Qiao Mingyue stood up, "Then it's decided, it's almost dawn, without further ado, let's go, it'll be too late when they find out." ”

"Okay."

"But wait a minute, I'll change my clothes first." Deng Xiaoxian added that he really couldn't stand the blood stains all over his body.

Deng Xiaoxian and Qi Jingyun quickly cleaned up, Qiao Mingyue went back to the room to clean up briefly, the body in Deng Xiaoxian's room was left for his subordinates to deal with, and the three of them took the still unconscious Baocheng County Lord on the road to Jinguancheng.
