Chapter 806: Assassin
Under the guidance of the boy in Tsing Yi, Xue Shao went to the Temple of Heaven Peak of Wangwu Mountain.
Niu Ben, who had slept all night at the foot of the mountain, was already full of resentment, and said to Xue Shao in private: "The young marshal wants to find a little girl, just talk to our brothers." I tied her with a hemp rope, why did the young marshal deign to come to find her in person, and toss and turn as if he was in a thatched house? - That's what she can look down on! ”
"I don't know a few big characters, but you still know how to look at the thatched house?" Xue Shao scolded him angrily.
"I've heard my father-in-law talk about it!" Niu Ben was also proud, "Three Kingdoms, the teacher table, it's about the fierce general Zhang Fei and the military advisor Zhuge Liang!" ”
"!" Xue Shao was about to scold him a few words and stopped. Forget it, what's there to compete with a big boss?
Wangwu Mountain Temple of Heaven has finally arrived. Most of the roads along the way were rugged mountain roads, and the horses were not only useless but seemed to be tired, and Xue Shao really felt a little choked.
Sun Simiao's tomb is quite simple, which is in line with his personality of indifferent fame and fortune. In fact, the people who know that Sun Zhenren has passed away are only a very small number so far.
Not far from the tomb, a simple grass reed was indeed built, but Xuanyunzi was not there.
Xue Shao felt somewhat familiar when he saw this cottage, and when he was once merging states, he seemed to have seen this similar cottage. At that time, Xuan Yunzi and Sima Chengzhen traveled to Bingzhou, and the two lived in one room and planted some simple flowers and tea trees outside the house. Just like the grass house in front of you, although there are no flowers, it is also full of vitality.
"Lang Jun, it's a pity that Senior Sister is not here, and Poor Dao can only lead you here." The boy in Tsing Yi said, "I still have to go back to the medicine house to sort out the relics of the ancestors, so I won't accompany them." ”
"Thank you very much."
Xue Shao said goodbye to the boy in Tsing Yi and walked to the fence of the grass house, and saw that a few pools of vegetables were planted in it, and a fruit tree was planted, and the bucket for watering the garden was placed on the edge of the vegetable pool, and there was a gourd scoop floating in half a bucket of water. Apparently it was not long ago, and someone had come to water the vegetable patch.
"Could it be that Xuanyunzi saw us from a distance and hid?" Thinking about this, Xue Shao was a little annoyed - I am not an idle person, I have abandoned public and private matters and come to you in every possible way, what are you hiding? Could it be that I'm going to tie you back to the cave and flower candles?
Niu Ben was an anxious man who was about to break into the grass when he saw it, but Xue Shao stopped him. But he still walked around the grass house for a few laps or so and didn't see anyone, and he became angry at the moment, "Young marshal, I just burned this broken house, and I can't see if she comes out?" ”
"Don't be presumptuous." Xue Shao scolded and said, "After climbing so many mountains for many days, I don't want to rush this moment, just wait!" ”
"Wait, wait, the young marshal has the final say!" Although Niu Ben agreed, he hated itchy, and there was a murderous aura in his eyes.
Before going up the mountain, Xue Shao made some preparations, brought some incense wax paper money and tribute to prepare to worship Sun Simiao. Now he waited and waited, so he went to the tomb to clean and worship. Just as he was about to lay down his offering, he found a wreath of wild flowers on the grave.
- Déjà vu!
After pondering for a moment, Xue Shao remembered. The last time I asked Pei Gong for a doctor, I went to Zhongnan Mountain to find Xuanyunzi, and I saw such a similar wreath in front of Zhang Miao's tomb. At that time, Yuenu said that this must be from Xuan Yunzi's hand, because "only she has such poetry and painting feelings". As a result, Xue Shao also learned about the other side of Xuan Yunzi, she looked cold on the outside, as if she didn't know the fireworks in the world, but in fact, her heart may also be very romantic.
After picking up the wreath and taking a look, Xue Shao still arranged it and placed the sacrifice by himself. Suddenly, he felt a chill run down his spine, and the hairs on his back stood on end. Strong professional vigilance told him that there was danger!
Almost at the same time, Duan Feng, who was only a few steps away from Xue Shao, shouted, "Young Marshal beware!" ”
"Whoosh-"
A sharp shadow shot at Xue Shao from the side like a flying arrow, directly hitting Xue Shao's head!
Xue Shao's reaction has always been fast enough, and a habitual dodge of the bomb rolls over to avoid this blow. But the opponent's speed was obviously extremely fast, and before Xue Shao could gain a firm foothold after he rolled over, he attacked again and again.
The last time I used a kick, this time I changed it to a sword stab!
Xue Shao didn't dare to be careless, his whole body was tense like a spring and quickly retreated to dodge, and several times the sword light was like having eyes, just wiping his body.
Danger is everywhere!
Duan Feng was like a tiger out of the box, and Niu Ben, who was looking after the horses in the distance, also roared and killed. The Tiger Master Shuang blocked between Xue Shao and the assassin at great speed, relieving Xue Shao.
Only then did Xue Shao see the other party's outfit clearly, it was a masked man in white, holding a three-foot sword with a cold light in his hand.
Looking at that figure, it looks like a woman!
Niu Ben is Wu Ming's descendant disciple, although he has no formal apprenticeship, but he learned a few hard kung fu from Wu Ming, and the overlord elbow and iron bull gong have already been practiced to perfection. Half of Duan Feng's kung fu is passed down from family to family, and the other half is the most practical and cruel killing technique he has learned on the battlefield after many years of fighting.
The two of them joined forces, and Xue Shao thought that no one in the world could parry it, and it was even possible to include Xue Chuyu!
The assassin in front of him had already fought dozens of tricks with the two of them without being defeated.
"This person's martial arts are extremely high!" Xue Shao couldn't help but exclaim, "Overcome the uncertainty with softness, and play very smart...... If I were alone, I wouldn't have won easily! ”
"Die!"
Bull Ben burst out with a roar, and the Overlord's elbow finally caught an opportunity to bump into the assassin's kick - hard hit!
The Assassin's kung fu may be stronger than that of Niu Ben, but Niu Ben's power is too strong. Although the collision failed to crush him with a single blow, his body was already unstable. Duan Feng caught the opportunity as fast as lightning, and kicked out a simple and rough kick, and the assassin finally fell to the ground with a scream.
Niu Ben roared and leaped to his knees, carrying all his weight and strength to his knees, hoping to plunge the assassin into the eighteen layers of hell at once.
The assassin was hit hard by Duan Feng and fell to the ground, watching Niu Ben fall from the sky, but he didn't have the slightest intention of dodging.
"Stop!"
Xue Shao suddenly shouted, and Niu Ben volleyed in the air, and his knee pressed against a grinding stone a foot away from the assassin.
With a bang, the stone shattered like powder!
The Assassin did not take the opportunity to fight back or fled, but still lay on the ground with one hand on the ground. A pair of big eyes looked at Xue Shao who was approaching step by step with a complicated expression.
Xue Shao could almost tell who the masked woman in front of him was.
Because of those eyes, he was so familiar. There are not many people in the world who can speak with their eyes, and Xuanyunzi can be called the best among them.
"Stand down." Xue Shao ordered lightly.
"Young marshal, she's an assassin!" Niu Ben screamed.
"Stand down!"
Duan Feng hurriedly pulled the ox to run, and the two of them silently retreated to the place where the horses were tied dozens of steps away.
Xue Shao walked up to her and squatted down, "Are you seriously injured?" ”
She still looked at Xue Shao with her eyes open, and the meaning in her eyes was extremely complicated.
"Shall I see?"
"No, you don't."
After asking and answering, Xuan Yunzi was still masked, but turned his head away and stopped looking at Xue Shao.
"I came to you with no malice." Xue Shao said.
"I have."
Xue Shao smiled bitterly, "Is it necessary?" ”
Xuan Yunzi was silent.
Xue Shao stretched out a hand to her, but Xuan Yunzi stood up by himself, still holding a sword in his hand, and the face towel on his face was not removed.
"I'm not going to pester you." Xue Shao also stood up and said calmly, "I just want to tell you that I have never thought about you, let alone want to marry you." I don't know what the Queen Mother told you, but now I just want to ask you to go back and see the Queen Mother together, and make everything you need to say clearly in front of her. There is only one purpose, to annul your marriage with me. ”
Xuan Yunzi turned his back to Xue Shao, still silent.
"When I'm done, you think for yourself." Xue Shao said and walked towards the horse, "I'll wait here for your reply." From now on, twelve hours. ”
"Why don't you ask, why did I assassinate you?" Xuan Yunzi asked behind Xue Shao's back.
Xue Shao smiled indifferently, neither turned around nor answered, and left.
On the other side, Niu Ben's lungs were about to explode. Seeing Xue Shao coming over, he hurriedly greeted him and said, "Young marshal, this stinky girl's skin actually wants to kill you, why are you still so polite to her?" How good it would be for me to tear her up! ”
"Rest easy. Don't look at her fierce moves, in fact, she may not really want to kill me. Otherwise, she would have had many fatal chances just now. Xue Shao said calmly, "Also, she is Xuan Yunzi." ”
"Huh?" The second will be shocked.
"Xuanyunzi? I remember that she didn't have a bad relationship with you before, and we brothers thought she had slept with you a long time ago! Niu Ben squinted at Xuanyunzi in the distance, and scolded: "Why does she want to do this now?" - Could it be that she is a crazy woman? ”
"Shut up!" Xue Shao scolded, "This is my private matter, and I can't explain it to you clearly." This matter must not be spread outside, especially not let Princess Taiping know. Otherwise I'll skin you! ”
"I got it!"
It's night, and the stars are shining.
Duan Feng quickly set up a marching tent and put together a fire, and the three of them lit the fire to eat some dry food and drink some rice wine. Niu Ben really looks like a door god at this moment, he has never sat down since he stood next to Xue Shao, and his bronze bell-like eyes have been staring at the oil lamp in the grass house, and he hasn't moved his eyes.
"Are you tired?" Xue Shao said, "Sit down, eat bread and drink wine and get ready for bed!" ”
"I can't sleep!" Niu Ben disobeyed this time, and said grinningly, "What if she comes to assassinate again?" - Duan Feng, I'm in the first half of the night and you're in the second half of the night, we have to guard! ”
Duan Feng smiled bitterly and looked at Xue Shao.
"That's up to you!" Xue Shao said that he was ready to go into the tent and sleep.
At this time, Niu Ben suddenly shouted: "She came out!" ”
Xue Shao turned his head to look, and under the starlight, Xuan Yunzi, who was dressed in white and snowy, walked towards this side with a dust whisk in his hand. In his hand, he seems to be carrying two wine jars.
The three watched as she approached.
"Two jars of poisonous wine, who will drink with me?" Xuan Yun Ziping raised two jars of wine, his expression was very indifferent.
"I'm not stupid!" Niu Ben shouted angrily, "If you have something, just say it, don't play tricks!" ”
Duan Feng was silent. He was far more calm than Niu Ben.
Xue Shao stepped forward, "I'll drink with you." ”
