Did you hear it wrong? Mantuo was about to go back to bed, and a thought flashed in his mind again, no, there was no figure or cat shadow outside, where did the voice just come from? She quietly pushed open the window, climbed out of the window, light as a civet cat, fell silently, and crept forward in the corridor on the third floor, to the staircase. In a flash, he hid behind the pillar, held his breath, and listened to his surroundings.

The night is deep, the moon is hazy, and the people are quiet and silent. If you change to someone else, you may lose confidence and turn back, but Manta is not, she is more patient than anyone else, she firmly believes that the voice she heard is not wrong, there must be someone lurking in the depths of the night, waiting for an opportunity to move, at this time the competition is patience and willpower.

After a while, in the dark night, a glimmer of light suddenly flashed on the big tree, which was the reflection of the moon reflected by the weapon.

Knife!

Manta narrowed his eyes, and accurately judged that the weapon that flashed in the cold light just now was the Lancet.

The lancet knife is no more than three feet long, and the knife is held in one hand, with the hand naturally hanging down, and the tip of the knife is facing upwards, and the length is not longer than the tip of the ear. It is a lancet as light as a sword and as a snake as a snake, and it is the most advantageous weapon for hand-to-hand combat with a white blade. In the south, there are more lancets as weapons than in the north. Because the southerners are small and flexible, they complement the lightness of the lancet.

The northern samurai were mostly long-handled swords and Mo swords.

With a shake of his body, he slid from behind one pillar to another, and at some point he had already grabbed a throwing knife in his right hand. The flying knife of the mantle is also shaped like a willow leaf, the size is also like a willow leaf, as thin as a cicada's wings, but it is also as black as ink, in the night, like no moonlight, almost blending with the night.

The person on the tree is none other than Yan Hao.

With Yan Hao's tall and strong skills, he took Xia Xiang's life, so he didn't have to be so careful, he flew directly into the room and finished Xia Xiang with one sword, but it was just an easy thing. It's just that if Xia Xiang is killed with one knife, it will become a murder case, which will inevitably cause a sensation. Shangjing Mansion has always been rigorous in investigating cases, although he is sure that he will not leave a trace of clues, but he does not want to make a storm in the city.

It's better to let Xia Xiang die silently, it looks like he suddenly got sick and died, it was because Yan Hao was well prepared, brought all the things, and only came to the Quanyou Inn after the third watch, hid in the tree, and waited for the opportunity.

People who practice martial arts have much more intuitive intuition than ordinary people, just like tigers and leopards, and when they hunt, their sense of smell, sensation and hearing are much more amplified than usual. Yan Hao waited on the tree for a long time, but he didn't notice anything abnormal, it wasn't that he was too careless, but that the Mantuo Kung Fu was too strong, and he didn't notice the appearance of the Mantuo.

It's also Yan Hao who would never have thought that a mere inn with all hands would hide a super master on a par with him!

Although he is full of confidence, after all, he has been walking the rivers and lakes for many years, and he has seen a lot of things about capsizing boats in the gutter, and he does not dare to take it lightly. Waited on the tree for more than an hour, it was already the fourth watch, the sky will be bright before dawn, it is the time when people sleep the most fragrant and dead, at this time, take nine out of ten. Yan Hao took out the lancet and gently cut off a branch in front of him—there would be a sound if it was broken—and when he was about to put the knife away, he saw a "hanged ghost" pulling a long silk dangling in front of him.

Little bugs dare to make trouble? Yan Hao's heart was playful, perhaps because he was about to take Xia Xiang's life made him feel relieved and relaxed, and the lancet in his hand was swung out again, like a light breeze drifting by, and the filament was instantly disconnected.

Yan Hao jumped down the tree, like a leopard, using his hands and feet together, after landing, as soon as he bent down, like an arrow from the string, he quickly burst out, and came to the window of Xia Xiang's room in just a few jumps.

After listening quietly for a while, there was a slight sound in the room, Yan Hao put his mind at ease, pulled out the lancet again, the blade was as thin as paper, and reached into the window and the gap, with a light force, "click", and the window opened.

Yan Hao turned around and quickly glanced at it, the night was like water, the breeze was like a dream, the shadows of the trees were swaying, and there was no one in the sky, he immediately no longer hesitated, and pressed the windowsill with his right hand, jumping into the room like a puff of light smoke.

The room is not big, there is a bed in the northeast corner, one person on the bed, lying on the side of the bed, sleeping soundly. Although the moonlight was dim, Yan Hao recognized at a glance that the person on the bed was Xia Xiang.

Xia Xiang wore a short shirt and shorts, with his back to Yan Hao, bent his legs slightly, and his right hand was pillowed under his head, which was the sleeping position of Ji Xiang Lying.

There is also a bed in the southwest corner, one person on the bed, ** upper body, lower body only wearing shorts, lying on the bed, with all four feet open, sleeping as wild as possible, and there is a trace of saliva at the corner of the mouth that flashes in the moonlight.

It was Xiao Wu.

A mocking smile appeared at the corner of Yan Hao's mouth, he took out a bamboo tube about half a foot long from his arms, and put a silver needle with a blue light and a feather tied at the end into the tube......

The blue light on the silver needle is a rare giant poison, named Yuexiamu, which is similar to seeing blood and sealing the throat, it is okay to swallow, as long as you see blood, it will kill people within a few breaths. Yuexia wood is produced in the deep mountains of Wuliang Mountain in Yunnan Prefecture, is a very rare medicine, see the sun will die, see the moonlight to live, is named Yuexia wood.

The essence of moonlight is obtained from the wood under the moon, and it grows in a dark and damp place, which is extremely toxic but does not trace like moonlight. This poisonous Yanhao was also obtained by chance, as soon as he saw human blood, within three breaths, he would pass out. Within ten breaths, he died as if he were asleep. Therefore, the poison has not yet appeared in the Central Plains and the north, and ordinary doctors and doctors cannot detect that they died of poisoning. The most important thing is that after the poisoning of the moon wood, it will cause the blood flow in the body to be cut off, and the cause of death is almost the same as the death of sudden poor blood flow.

When the bamboo pipe was still three inches away from Yan Hao's lips, Yan Hao's face suddenly turned cold, his wrist flipped and put away the bamboo pipe, his figure flashed, and he staggered more than half a foot in place, and he could avoid a blow behind him.

Yan Hao was horrified in his heart, why did he only notice it when the blow just now was within three feet behind him, with his martial arts, he should have sensed it when the opponent's killing intent was revealed, how could this be?

didn't have time to think about it at the moment, Yan Hao pulled out a knife in his hand, swung it out, and stabbed the person behind him in the head.

Halfway through the knife, he woke up suddenly, no, if he killed the opponent with a knife, he would definitely be splashed with blood on the spot, then no matter what method he used to kill Xia Xiang, it would also be recognized as a homicide. Thinking about it like this, Yan Haodao went off the peak and staggered by half a foot.

It was Yan Hao's timely withdrawal that allowed Xiao Wu to escape.

Xiao Wu woke up from his dream, and suddenly found that there was one more person in the room, and he was immediately shocked. He was only bent on saving Xia Xiang, and he didn't want to kill, but although he was menacing, he didn't kill him. If there is no killing opportunity, Yan Hao will not be able to detect it.

It's just that after a kick, the move makes him old, and it is too late for him to dodge Yan Hao's knife. Fortunately, Yan Hao stopped in time, and he was saved from death, otherwise he would have been beheaded by Yan Hao with just one knife.

Even so, Xiao Wu still couldn't hold his momentum, and fell to the ground with a "plop".

How can you be so stupid? Yan Hao was stunned, he thought that Xiao Wu kicked silently, and was surprised that Xiao Wu was a hidden master, and he didn't want to fall down by himself with a single blow, so he couldn't cry or laugh, and immediately stepped forward and kicked Xiao Wu to the temple, wanting to knock Xiao Wu unconscious.

"Hiss......"

A slight sound suddenly sounded, like mushrooms after a rain, like petals blooming, if it weren't for Yan Hao's amazing hearing, he couldn't hear a wisp of life-threatening sound in the dark night. But even if you can't hear it, it doesn't matter, because Yan Hao sensed the killing intent surging like a tide!

Continuous, silky, like the faint sound of cicadas, straight to the heart.

At the same time, a low, cold voice shouted: "Sweep through a thousand armies!" ”

Xiao Wu originally fell to the ground, and when he sat on the ground and didn't know what to do, when he heard "sweeping thousands of troops", his body instantly folded, jumped up on the spot, and immediately used his foot with a sweep, and his right leg carried the sound of whirring wind, sweeping Yan Hao's legs.

If it was ordinary, Xiao Wu's moves were too ordinary, and Yan Hao could have avoided it with an understatement, but now it was very different, and the sound of death was instantly approaching within three feet of his heart. He wanted to swing his knife to shoot down the incoming hidden weapon, so he had to dodge to dodge, and only then did he jump up, and Xiao Wu's sweeping leg also arrived.

That's all there is to it! Yan Hao gritted his teeth, choosing the lesser of two evils, he knew that the deadly sound behind him was the real killing move, so he avoided the heavy and light, and went all out to hide behind him.

It's just that what Yan Hao never expected was that he actually miscalculated! He miscalculated!

Yan Hao thought that even if he took Xiao Wu's leg, it would be fine, and Xiao Wu didn't know martial arts, and ordinary people kicked him and punched him, which was no different from tickling. I didn't want Xiao Wu's sweeping leg to come first, and he kicked Yan Hao half a step faster than the sound of death. What shocked Yan Hao even more was that Xiao Wu's legs were like iron casting, he was kicked, it felt like he was hit by a heavy hammer, and a huge pain hit, his eyes were black, and he almost didn't faint.

Xiao Wu...... Can you do martial arts? The leg work is so good.

It's just that there is no time to think about the situation now, fortunately, the leg was not kicked off, otherwise it might really capsize in the gutter today, Yan Hao didn't care about it, and a strong thought flashed in his heart, he must kill Xiao Wu, at any cost.

It's a pity that as soon as he had a thought, he had already been stabbed in the left shoulder—the flying knife of Mantuo.

The knives of the Manta are small and thin, and when they enter the flesh, they reach the handle. Yan Hao was careless, he lost both moves, his left leg was almost broken, and his right shoulder was painful to the bone.

Mantuo struck a successful blow, the long sword in his hand was straightened, and the sword flashed, and he was about to take Yan Hao's life. Yan Hao turned around and shot out the silver needle, her sword edge was deflected, and it hit the silver needle, the silver needle lost its accuracy, and it was nailed to the window lattice with a "ding".

"Whoever realizes the big dream first, I know it in my life. The grass hall sleeps enough in spring, and the day outside the window is late......"

Xia Xiang turned over and sat up from the bed, rubbed his loose eyes, looked at Xiao Wu and Mantuo in the room in surprise, and said strangely: "It turns out that the sky is not yet bright, and there is no delay outside the window...... No, you two don't sleep and fight in my room, it's too unusual. ”

Xia Xiang had a dream, in which he returned to Zhongshan Village, chatted with his mother, and talked about his father, his mother was vague about his father's life experience, but he repeatedly told him that he had a deceased uncle, and his uncle entrusted him to inherit incense for his uncle when he was dying.

Xia Lai and Xia Go sat next to their mother, eating and laughing. The two laughed at him for marrying a two-room daughter-in-law, and the two-room daughter-in-law is not divided into two rooms and two rooms, they are on an equal footing, if there is a fight in the future, which room should he prefer? After the two laughed, they envied him that he could marry two wives justifiably, and he could enjoy the blessings of all people.

Then the dream changed, Xia Xiang came to the capital again, boating on a sparkling lake, there were three people on the boat, in addition to him, there were two women, one was Cao Shuli, and the other was ...... Lian Ruohan.

The two daughters sat at the bow of the boat, the other sat at the stern, Cao Shuli was singing a song "Yue Ren Song", and even Ruohan was chanting poetry, the poem said: Qingqing Zijin, leisurely my heart. Even if I don't go, Zining won't make a sound? Qingqingzi Pei, I think about it. Even if I don't go, Zining won't come? Picky and embarrassed, in the city. Not seen for a day, like March.

Xia Xiang lay peacefully in the center of the boat, the sun was shining, the breeze was blowing, fluttering, and he fell asleep unconsciously. I don't know how long I slept, suddenly the sky was bright, and when I opened it, there was no one around me, not sleeping on the boat, but on the bed, and he opened his mouth in a daze to come to a poem that Zhuge Liang recited after waking up in the grass hall.

Seeing Xia Xiang's ignorant face, Mantuo's tense body suddenly relaxed, and he couldn't help but sneer: "Did you have any sweet dreams just now?" If it weren't for me and Xiao Wu saving you, you would have died in your dream. ”

As soon as he finished speaking, he didn't say anything more, and jumped out of the window for life to chase Yan Hao.

"Poor Kou Mo Chase!" Xia Xiang came to his senses, instantly knew what was happening, and shouted at the back of Mantuo, "Lady Mantuo, let him go." ”

The figure of Mantuo was like flowing clouds, and did not stop, and disappeared on the roof of the building in a blink of an eye.

Xiao Wu said the matter of Fang Cai simply, lowered his head, like a child who had done something wrong: "Sir, Xiao Wu is incompetent, if it weren't for the timely arrival of the Mantuo lady, Mr. would have been killed by the bad guys." Xiao Wu is so stupid, Xiao Wu should be damned, Xiao Wu ......"

Xia Xiang escaped death, but he didn't have the happiness and relief of the rest of his life after the catastrophe, but as if nothing had happened, he waved his hand and smiled: "I don't blame you, blame me for sleeping too hard." Have you seen who Fang Cai is? ”

"I didn't see his appearance clearly, he was masked, but I still recognized him, I can't forget his breath, he is Yan Hao!" Xiao Wu gritted his teeth and shook his fist, "One day I will defeat him, trample him under his feet, and let him eat the mud from my shoes." ”

Xia Xiang smiled: "Why do you want Yan Hao to eat the mud on your shoes?" ”

"My shoes just stepped on cow dung during the day." Xiao Wu said very seriously, "I haven't had time to wipe it clean yet......"

"......" Xia Xiang was speechless, couldn't help laughing, and said after a while, "It's almost dawning, don't sleep, make a fire and boil water to make tea." ”

There was a knock on the door, and Manta returned.

Mantuo looked unwilling, and threw his sword: "Even if he ran fast, chased three streets, and when he arrived at a house, he disappeared in a flash, and he couldn't find it, which is annoying." ”

"Thank you, Lady Manta, for saving your life." Xia Xiang crossed his hand and saluted, and then offered a cup of tea, "Save your life, there is nothing to repay, I wish ......"

"Just make a promise, I don't want you." Mantuo took the tea and drank it all, "Xia Langjun, this person's martial arts are very strong, why do you want to kill you?" It doesn't matter if he kills you, it's easy to kill you with a knife, but he has to use poison, and it's still a very rare moon wood. ”

As she spoke, Mantuo got up and pulled out the silver needle from under the window lattice, put it under her nose and sniffed it, and put the needle in the tea, the tea turned blood red, she nodded and said: "Sure enough, it is the poison of the wood under the moon, Xia Langjun, in order to kill you, this person has also invested enough." The poison of the wood under the moon is very rare and extremely precious, ten times more expensive than gold. If arsenic is used, it is much cheaper. However, this poison is poisonous, and ordinary people can't find out that it is poisoned, thinking that it is due to poor qi and blood. By the way, who is this person? ”

Xia Xiang Great Khan, could it be that in the eyes of Mantuo, what kind of poison was used to kill him as a tyrannical thing? He smiled: "Lady Mantuo, there is no way to repay the great grace of saving your life, not to make a promise, but to pay tribute to tea instead of wine." Okay, let's not talk about it, the person who killed me just now is named Yan Hao, and he is very skilled. ”

"Yan Hao? He is Yan Hao! Indeed, this person's martial arts are very powerful, and I have only seen them in my life. If I hadn't been stabbed in the leg by Xiao Wuyi, I would have fought him head-on, and I might not have been his opponent. Mantuo remembered the words of Hua Guan and Mu En, and thought that Yan Hao was indeed worthy of his reputation, pondered for a moment, and then asked, "Xia Langjun, why did he kill you?" ”

"Why did you kill me?" Xia Xiang couldn't help but smile bitterly, "How would I know?" I slept well, and I had a dream of marrying a two-room wife, but I was woken up, who will pay for my dream? ”

Having said that, Xia Xiang was touched in his heart, from falling off the list to Yan Hao taking his life, the situation was intensifying step by step, which shows that the attitude of the third prince towards him has also changed.

It was also the black list that stirred up the situation in all parties, and the third prince may have felt that it was better for him to be dead than alive, so he moved his murderous intent.

"Xia Langjun really doesn't know?" The sword in Mantuo's hand suddenly came out of the sheath, the sword light flashed, the tip of the sword provoked the boiling kettle, the wrist was pumped and sent, the kettle stood firmly on the tip of the sword, the scabbard in her left hand stretched out, there was more teacup on the scabbard at some point, the right hand was tilted, the kettle on the tip of the sword was tilted at an angle, and the boiling water was poured out. Pour boiling water into the teacup steadily, without spilling a drop.

Xia Xiang was startled, and noticed the implicit dissatisfaction of Mantuo, and hurriedly said: "The lady of Mantuo is angry, not deliberately concealing it, it is indeed that she has no clue. I only know that the name of the person who killed me is Yan Hao, who is a subordinate of the third prince, and he is under the jurisdiction of Gao Jianyuan. The fact that I fell off the list was also the intervention of the third prince behind his back, and Wen Changju controlled it single-handedly......"

Xia Xiang talked about the cause and effect of the matter, and talked about how he was recognized as a thorn in the side of the three princes because he was a student of Li Dingshan, and then when the big competition was approaching, Wen Changju replaced the original examiner Yang Li, Wen Changju took advantage of his power to take his fame before the list was opened, and he refused to admit defeat, so he posted the black list of "Xia Xiang fell off the list", which caused King Jian, King Qing and Ye Mingsheng and others to hear the wind and move, and staged a turbulent drama at the gate of the Gongyuan, etc., and told Mantuo one by one.
