Chapter 12: As You Wish

Yan Lie's pale eyes turned, and the light fell on the man's face, and in the next second, an extremely slight sound of breaking the air quickly crossed her earsβ€”

A line of blood cracked in the center of the wounded's eyebrows, and all the pain stopped in an instant!

All this was so fast, and Wan Xi couldn't even see how Yan Lie made his move.

Time and space seemed to condense into a paste, and she watched as the bright red blood slowly seeped out of the thin opening, gradually staining the land red.

"You ......" she opened her mouth before realizing that she had lost her voice.

"As you wish," Yan Lie's face was flat, "no pain." ”

"That's not ...... Let you kill him. She regained her voice and felt her throat tighten dry.

"It's time to go back. He turned around, and the silver hair moved slightly, and the silver color that seemed to flow seemed to flow in her eyes, and now there was only a cold edge.

After walking a distance, there was no sound behind him, Yan Lie frowned, turned to look at the girl, and saw her squatting in place, her hands brushing over the deceased's eyelids, helping him close his eyes.

Then, her chest heaved and she seemed to exhale softly.

The tips of his brows converged unconsciously.

Under the pressure of his gaze, he slowly stood up, and when he walked towards him, his face had regained calm, and he could not see any superfluous emotions, and the shock, fear, incomprehension, and indignation just now seemed to be just an illusion.

Speechless all the way.

It wasn't until she returned to the camp and sat down that she didn't speak, this was the second time she had seen this man commit murder with impunity, the first time was in Dingjiabao, and he didn't hesitate to break a woman's neck.

Under this man's god-like countenance, there is the opposite of ruthlessness, just as Drunken Sheng called his nickname "Big Killer".

If what Ding Jiabao did was what he needed for his mission, then the merchant was a truly innocent person.

Yan Lie's silver hair was scattered, and he sat cross-legged in front of the campfire, his eyes closed, and he looked settled. In reality, however, the sound of the pull came to his ears clearly.

He knew that she was sleeping in clothes opposite, and he also knew that she had turned over a few times and had not fallen asleep, and there was a bonfire between the two, like a clear dividing line.

They are not the same kind of people, as the sharp blade in the hands of the pavilion master, he does not know the life he handles, and he has long had no feeling for taking people's lives, not to mention the people around him, which one of the people in the Changming Pavilion has never been full of blood?

It's just that he has long been used to the difference - the difference from others.

He didn't need to care about what others thought, the only thing he needed to live in this world was to faithfully defend the Pavilion Master.

The next morning, when the sky was still hazy, the two embarked on the journey to Jiangnan again, and did not stop until sunset, when they came to Zhoucheng.

Zhoucheng is just a small city, but it is already the largest city in this area, looking at the long queues outside the city, it seems that most of them are caravans.

"Why are there so many people?" she jumped out of the carriage and stood on tiptoe to look in the direction of the city gate in front of her, estimating that she would have to wait at least half an hour.

Yan Lie glanced at the caravan in front of him, and his pale pupils were thoughtful.

The old man next to him glanced at them, shook his head and said, "Young man, you look like you have just arrived in Zhoucheng, right?"

She had an active temperament, and she expected that Yan Lie would not speak, so she was about to inquire with the old man by herself, but she didn't expect Yan Lie to speak before her.

"Old man, is there something going on around here?" the tone was still sparse, but not as indifferent as expected.

"The world is getting more and more peaceful. The old man sighed, "There have been a lot of robbers around here lately, and many caravans have been attacked. ”

Hearing this, the first thing that Bang Xi remembered was the caravan that was poisoned last night, she thought that this kind of thing should not happen often, but she didn't expect to listen to the old man's tone, these bandits have been rampant to this point?

Thinking like this, she asked her doubts and said, "The government doesn't care?"

These bandits have come and gone without a trace, and they are extremely powerful, and the government has sent officers and soldiers to suppress the bandits several times to no avail. After that, the old man pointed to the long procession in front of him and said, "Little girl, you see, if the government had the ability, there would not be so many caravans at the gate of this city to enter the city for the night." ”

Yan Lie was silent, glanced at him and said deliberately: "Didn't you never enter the city before, why did you suddenly want to do it now? Could it be that you already knew that bandits were rampant here, so you went into the city to avoid trouble?"

The corners of Yan Lie's mouth hidden under the hood moved, as if he was a little contemptuous, "Hiding your head and revealing your tail, don't be afraid." ”

"How do you explain this?" Listening to his tone, Wan Xi always felt as if he knew something, but when she wanted to get something out of his mouth, this guy ignored her again.

As if to confirm the old man's words, there were many caravans coming in a steady stream behind them, and a long queue formed behind them, and by the time Bang Xi and Yan Lie finally entered the city gate, the sun had already set.

thought that entering the city smoothly would be a victory, but they didn't expect the two to have to face an embarrassing problem - the inn was out of room.

Zhoucheng is just a small city, the number of inns is limited, so many caravans poured into the city at the same time to spend the night, naturally the supply is in short supply, the two of them looked for many inns, and the answer they got was that the room was full.

"Why don't we just find a place to spend the night?" Bang Xi didn't mind very much, it was safer for her to stay in the city than outside the city, and they didn't sleep in the wild before, so it would be better to change places.

"No, I can't. Yan Lie simply rejected her, and said in silence for a few seconds, "I want to take a hot bath." ”

β€œ......”

Bang Xi was speechless, and couldn't help but complain: "You are so strange, since you want to take a hot bath so much, why didn't you enter the city before?" If it weren't for her insistence on not rushing like this, she believed that he would be able to rush all the way to Jiangnan without stopping.

Then she received a cold look.

"Compared to a hot shower, if I can solve the problem as soon as possible, I can still tolerate it. When he found that the trouble could not be handled in one go, the cleanliness habit inevitably began to take over.

The person who knows the times is Junjie, and he quickly closed his mouth.

They were standing at the door of the inn, and people were coming and going, and this conversation naturally fell into the ears of others.

"There is a small building in the little woman's house, if you don't dislike it, why don't you rest with me for the night?" A female voice interjected softly, and when she looked up, she saw a young woman wearing a flower hairpin, and was smiling and saluting them.
