Chapter 232: The Tree Cave

After the pair of black-clothed men holding torches chased after An Yi, there was no longer a trace of light on Xiao Yan'er's side, and she felt that the whole world seemed to fall into a kind of chaos, because ......

She's afraid of the dark!

Even if she is given a glimmer of moonlight, as long as she can see it, there is no problem, Xiao Yan'er is most afraid of this quiet and deep environment.

When she was in the cave in Qiu Huang Town before, she didn't believe in people because she was afraid of the dark, and she was scared by Anyi, but now she is hiding in this tree hole, but she doesn't scare her comfortably, but feels that the surroundings are even more terrifying.

Xiao Yan'er was worried about the camp full of fire smoke in her eyes just now, and she was still worried about the comfort of being chased and killed, and wanted to stand up and run, but the deep wound on her leg was tightly tied with the cloth strips of the gorgeous clothes on her body, and it was still oozing blood, and she couldn't use any strength.

She waited quietly in the hollow of the tree according to her comfortable words, but only half of her body hid in it, because the dark and bottomless hollow of the tree made her feel more terrible than those men in black with steel knives.

Especially the comfortable sentence: If you encounter a wild dog or a fox or something, give it a blow....... It adds fuel to the fire.

"Crunch~Crunch~"

"Who!"

Xiao Yan'er's voice was almost a little sharp, and her eyes quickly stared at the source of the squirming sound, the tree hole under her,

"Who's where!"

After she asked this sentence, she smiled bitterly twice in her heart, who else could there be besides her in this tree hole now?

However, Xiao Yan'er couldn't laugh in her heart immediately after thinking about it, no one ...... What is that sound coming from?

Her body crawled out with some fear, but her eyes never left the dark tree hole for an inch, as if this tree hole was not much like a bottomless abyss, revealing the meaning of forest and profundity.

Maybe I'm scared of myself,

Xiao Yan'er comforted herself like this, and then stared at the tree hole for a while without worry, and then slowly turned her head out again, looking at the black pine forest outside,

I don't know if it's an illusion or what, but she feels that the pine trees seem to be ...... Growing taller, the bleak night wind stirred their branches, many of which were some withered pines, waving the withered and only remaining dry branches, like a skeleton without flesh and blood, twisting the claws of Xiao Yan'er that only had the white bones left,

Another gust of scissors wind blew, and the squirming needles were like the wails of lonely ghosts, lingering in Xiao Yan'er's ears,

When Xiao Yan'er raised her head to look, she found that these pine trees didn't seem to have grown taller, but were actually walking towards her step by step, with a hideous mouth in the crack on the trunk, smiling and singing, the voice was so poignant, so lost and depressed,

"Hazy, a line of ghost lights, revealing a peach blossom face...... Peach Blossom Noodle ...... Peach Blossom Noodle ...... Hey, hey, hey~"

"Don't ...... No! ”

Xiao Yan'er suddenly closed her eyes suddenly, picked up the handcuff that Anyi had loaded her with both hands, and shot it towards the dark void in front of her.

"Bang!"

This pine forest is silent, and the sound of a bell is especially harsh!

"What are you doing! Oops......"

When Xiao Yan'er opened her eyes again, An Yi was half-kneeling in front of her, seeing that this posture was about to drill into the tree hole.

"You're back!" Xiao Yan'er herself may not have felt it, but with the arrival of comfort, an extremely fulfilling sense of security arose in her heart, as if all those pines and ghosts just now were smashed by this plain brocade robe.

But An Yi didn't look optimistic, he was covering his right ear, frowning and closing his eyes and baring his teeth, looking very painful,

"What do you want to do! Kill me! ”

"I....... Did I hit you? ”

It's also fortunate that the plan didn't hit it, but Xiao Yan'er's shot just now was completely placed next to An Yi's ear, and when An Yi landed, he felt like a thunder in his head, and then half of his head was shocked and numb, and his ears were buzzing like a fly chirping non-stop.

Jin Mingyin's thing is really powerful, and it is really loud, and he didn't say a word at the mouth of the tree hole, and he knelt half a cup of tea, and his brain was slightly stabilized, but his right ear still seemed to be stuffed with cotton, and he couldn't hear a sound at all.

An Yi asked Xiao Yan'er a little angrily: "This person doesn't have what you have to spare for this person?" I told you that this is my life, if you hit me in the head, I still have my life? ”

Xiao Yan'er is also the queen mother of the Great Liao Dynasty, where is she embarrassed to say that she is afraid of the dark? Quibble: "Where did I see you coming back, just now I just heard something passing in front of me, thinking it was a thief, of course I opened a gun to take a clear picture." ”

An Yi glanced at her very unpleasantly, did not answer, and quickly leaned sideways into the tree hole, the tree hole was spacious, and the two of them were lying side by side, and there was a distance of three or five inches in the middle.

"How did you get back? What about the men in black? Killed by you? ”

An Yi took a breath, and while cautiously poking his head out to look outside, he replied to her angrily: "How can it be so simple, it's just that I was bypassed by relying on the darkness, and they will definitely find it back in a short time, let's just hide here and drag the guards to the camp to save us." ”

After making sure that it was still calm outside, An Yi retracted his head and asked Xiao Yan'er rhetorically: "I said Miss Yan'er, why was your girl's family hunted down and killed?" ”

Xiao Yan'er actually knew who it was in her heart, because although her initiative to show peace made Da Xia quite enjoyable and kept replying to her with the attitude of the victorious party, but she knew that Da Xia was already at the end of the strong crossbow, and she was holding on to Lanzhou with the last breath of true anger, so although the assassin came at her this time, it could never be done by Da Xia.

Then this person must be on his side, who among the Liao people is most opposed to peace talks? In other words, whose interests are most harmed by the peace talks? And who regards her Xiao Yan'er as a thorn in the eye and a thorn in the flesh?

But Xiao Yan'er didn't say it explicitly, after all, now that the two sides are in peace talks, how can they expose the unstable information on their side to the other party in advance?

"Didn't I tell the Count? There are always endless people and things in this world that make you can't laugh. ”

Xiao Yan'er was reluctant to answer, and An Yi didn't continue to ask, but he could see that this Liao people looked like Great Xia, and the wind was surging.

"That's right."

The span of Anyi's thinking was a little larger, and he suddenly remembered something, so he turned his head and asked Xiao Yan'er casually: "Miss Yan'er, let me ask you something, if I have a phantom spirit bead in my hand now, how can I urge it to destroy these thieves?"

Xiao Yan'er didn't know why An Yi suddenly remembered about the Phantom Spirit Bead, and asked him, "What?" Didn't the Count not believe in this? Why do you keep the Phantom Bead in mind? ”

"I'm just asking."

Xiao Yan'er thought for a while and replied to him: "First of all, you are not the Night Princess, you don't have the Vision of the Gods, you can't use the Phantom Spirit Bead, and secondly, it is not written in that booklet, so I don't know how the Night Princess uses the Phantom Spirit Bead." ”

An Yi listened to Xiao Yan'er's words, and pondered in a daze: "I think that in fact, the booklet passed down by your grandmother is missing a lot of things, who did this mysterious night princess recruit to give birth to a pair of children?" Also Why did the Night Princess kill her own children? And what the hell is going on with her eyes? If you think about it, there are no key things, and some are just legends. ”

After listening to this, Xiao Yan'er pondered for a long time, and then nodded noncommittally, "I think what you said makes sense, maybe more secrets are hidden in the tomb of the Night Princess, if you can see the light of day one day, maybe you can solve these mysteries, and it is possible to find the phantom spirit bead." ”

"Don't worry."

An Yi looked at Xiao Yan'er and smiled and continued: "When Xia and Liao really turn their rivalry into jade silk, if there is a chance, maybe I will invite you to come back to Qiu Huang Town in person and go to the tomb of the Night Princess to find out." ”

Xiao Yan'er smiled at him shallowly, but did not answer, or rather, she just didn't say what she thought in her heart,

Qiu Huangzhen is definitely going to go, as for who invited whom, it's really hard to say.

"Go there and have a look!"

A rough shout shattered the silence that belonged to the pine forest.

"These people are really persevering!"

An Yi looked coldly into the distance, and the glowing firelight was constantly approaching them, presumably the torches of the group of thieves,

He immediately made a gesture to Xiao Yan'er, pointed to the inside of the tree hole, motioned for her to hide inside, and then he himself clinged to the thick bark and hid in the dark shadow.

Although the space of this tree hole is not the type of thousand-year-old tree that is particularly large, the depth is still there.

When I first entered, that is, the place where Xiao Yan'er was lying at the beginning was a flat slope, and then I went back to the tree hole and there was a downward slope, about two or three steps long, even if it was the end.

Xiao Yan'er was hindered by the injury on her leg, so she could only move back a little bit, but she was already petite, and she was only hidden in the dark, so she basically wouldn't be seen.

But An Yi was not at ease, he took the handcuff from Xiao Yan'er's hand, listened to the footsteps outside that were getting closer and closer, and quickly loaded the breech, and the black hole in the mouth of the gun was only facing the door of the tree hole.

"You're looking around for me! Don't let go of a pit! ”

"Yes!"

Xiao Yan'er looked at the inside of An Yi's hand with some concern, poked An Yi's retreat with a slight frown, and made a gesture for him with her slender hand, meaning to tell him that there was only one projectile in it.

An Yi knew what she meant, smiled stiffly at the corner of his mouth, and nodded to tell her not to worry.

"There's a tree hole here!"

"Mo'er, go in and have a look!"

"Yes!"

This sweet and crisp female voice, although An Yi was surprised that there was a woman in this group of thieves, but the fingers on the trigger of the handcuff did not relax at all.

Until a little head poked into the tree hole to find out what was inside,

"Bang!"

"Boom!"

When An Yi heard the sound of metal clashing, he knew that he had hit the plan.

So where is a head? It's obviously a steel knife on the side and a certain gray cloth hat!

The projectile that roared out just now smashed the steel knife, and the remaining half was still buzzing, and the gray cloth hat that was originally being carried was on fire. The whereabouts of the drug explosion have long been unknown, but the whereabouts of the two of them are completely clear.

"They're in there!"

"I'll kill one of you if you come in! Let's see if there are more of you or more of my projectiles! ”

A few black-clothed men outside the tree hole just wanted to slash into it with a few knives, when they heard a comfortable sneer inside, accompanied by a few clicking mechanical sounds, and estimated that they were loading projectiles.

Jin Mingyin gave him a total of five projectiles, he put four guns himself, and Xiao Yan'er put one gun, where are the projectiles? It's all about hiding in a tree hole and bluffing!

But these black-clothed people outside were indeed frightened by the power of the short firearm in his hand, Rao was slashed by a knife, if he avoided the vital point, it was just a broken flesh injury, but once this firearm was touched, it would be either dead or disabled.

An Yi shouted out, and the outside seemed to be really frightened and had no choice for a while, and there was no sound for a long time.

The corners of his mouth curved up with satisfaction, revealing a very smug smile, and specially turned his head and raised his eyebrows at Xiao Yan'er,

Who knew that when he turned around again, a handful of earth and stones mixed with dead leaves were run in from the outside, covering his comfortable face, and the small stones were poured directly into his grinning mouth, choking in his throat,

"Ahem...... What is it? ”

Then I heard shouts outside:

"Hurry up! Isn't it reluctant to come out? Then let them stay inside forever! ”
