Chapter 39: Out of the Mountain (2)
Xia Zongxiao looked at the smiling Kong Weng, and out of the corner of his eye, he glanced at the shadow-like men in strong suits standing outside the courtyard, his face was expressionless, except for a pair of alert and cold eyes, he really couldn't see that he looked like a living person.
Xia Zongxiao has seen a lot of this kind of person in Bianjing, the most high-end and luxurious Goulan tile restaurant, gambling house, wealthy family, and nobles in Bianjing City, where they are gathered, and the host's family is present to have fun, they hide in the dark corners, quietly guarding their respective masters, they have a chilling name--- the dead.
The court stipulates that in addition to the generals, the lords and nobles are not allowed to have a family soldier, but the wealthy family with a long heritage has its own set of methods, Daqin can't help but slaves, and the wealthy families keep more slaves, and these family soldiers are the family slaves of the wealthy families on the surface, and the sword soldiers are armed in private.
Moreover, they often train the dead to guard the children of the family, or do some shady deeds, because these dead soldiers are absolutely loyal......
Xia Zongxiao's figure was a little taller than Bai Ye, and when he lowered his head, his chin touched Bai Ye's freshly washed hair with the fragrance of soaphorn, and asked in a low voice, "How about those goods over there?" ”
Bai Ye clumsily tightened Xia Zongxiao's clothes, revealing a smile that was confident and flat: "Vulnerable..."
After listening to Bai Ye's answer, Xia Zongxiao was relieved.
When he first arrived, Bai Ye was seriously injured and unconscious, and this village revealed strangeness, Xia Zongxiao naturally didn't dare to be too ostentatious.
But after these days of contact with everyone in the village, I found that although this village is eccentric, it is not a "tiger's den".
And Bai Ye's injuries are also healed, although I don't know why her injuries healed so quickly, but with such a grandmaster by her side, her courage has gradually grown.
Trying to put up the shelf, he said in a deep voice: "How did you know that I am the Wei King?" ”
Kong Weng glanced at Xia Zongxiao, who was pretending to be pretentious, with his hands behind his back, and walked to the chicken coop without hurrying. Several old hens were standing on the roof of the chicken coop, stretching their necks to peck at a few rotten vegetable leaves hanging on the wooden shelves next to the cage, Kong Weng picked one up and threw it into the chicken coop.
Goo-goo-goo... A few old hens fluttered their wings, and the sun brought up a puff of dust and a few falling soft feathers to the ground to scramble for vegetable leaves.
Kong Weng stared at the few old hens who were grabbing food, with a dusty smile on his face: "Didn't King Wei say that this is not an ordinary village?" Since it's not ordinary, it's not surprising to know this. ”
"What did you tell him?" Xia Zongxiao looked at Kong Weng, who could pretend to be better than himself, rolled his eyes, and asked Bai Ye softly.
Bai Ye and Xia Zongxiao glanced at each other and shook their heads, she went this time to thank each other and resign. It wasn't long ago that someone chased and killed them, how could they say this to someone who didn't know what they were talking about.
Both of them stared at Kong Weng with their backs to them, and their eyes were a little vigilant, when there was a noise and shouting not far from the courtyard, faintly mixed with the sound of swords and chains colliding. There were also a few screams of terrible rage, which were extremely miserable and did not resemble human voices. The voice was getting closer and closer, and it came to Xia Zongxiao's side.
Xia Zongxiao unconsciously moved closer to Bai Ye's side, turned his back to the old locust tree, and hid half of his body behind Bai Ye, his voice was miserable, getting closer and closer, and the screaming people were panicking. The more I listened to it, the more terrible it became, and the sound was like the screams of the old ghost who had been killed by the white night that day when he was dying. grabbed Bai Ye's arm tightly, and hid behind Bai Ye with panic in his eyes and stared out of the courtyard. The shadow left on him by that chase was really profound......
Bai Ye glanced back at the panicked Xia Zongxiao, his hard heart seemed to be rubbed, he stretched out his arm to protect Xia Zongxiao firmly behind him, and gently patted the back of Xia Zongxiao's cold hand with his other hand, signaling that he was relieved that she was there.
The initiator appeared, a half-human tall boar covered in blood, with red eyes and a broken fang, but still hideous, rushed straight to the small courtyard like crazy, followed by a group of villagers armed with various "weapons".
There were those with steel knives that were braving from the cold light, others with iron hoes still sticking to the yellow mud, and some carrying heavy clubs, kitchen knives, and axes, and the crowd shouted behind the wild boars in frenzy.
The group of men with steel swords and chain mail in their hands were quite marching, and they were the most eager, and they chased the wild boar like crazy.
But it was far away, and the wild boar that was injured and crazy was already crazy, and rushed forward desperately, and between breaths, he had reached the front of the hospital, only to see the dead soldiers scattered outside the courtyard, not dodging at all, and raising their right hands almost at the same time.
A string of cold light came out of their black hole cuffs, and the wild boar fell to the ground in response, and when he looked at it, his already hideous face was even more terrifyingly distorted, and his red eyes were gone, replaced by a few short arrows stuck in its eyes, and his eye sockets burst and blood flowed, and he whimpered and wailed, and after a while, he stopped making a sound, and fell straight and dead.
Xia Zongxiao grabbed Bai Ye's arm and was frightened, Bai Ye's expression was indifferent, the vigilance in his eyes was not gone, Kong Weng was unmoved, he didn't even raise his head, he still had a dusty smile, and left the last vegetable leaf in his hand, and the group of hens who were competing for food had already hid in the chicken coop and were cooing.
Xia Zongxiao hid behind Bai Ye and poked out his head, the corners of his mouth twitched, looking at the miserable wild boar that was already dead, subconsciously reached out and touched his eyes, and his mind came to mind that he was **...... Instantly shuddered, shook his head vigorously to dispel the terrible thoughts in his mind, but he still shuddered, swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and grabbed Bai Ye's hand tighter.
Xia Zongxiao only stared at the miserable wild boar on the ground, ignoring the crowd behind it, and when he looked up again, the group of people holding steel knives and wearing chain mail were close in front of him.
There are not many people, only a dozen people, all of them are dressed in the original bright and mighty Weiwang chain mail covered by dust and plaster, but the steel knife is still sharp and cold, the face is crawling with fatigue and fatigue, and the eyes are full of red bloodshots, not as bad as the crazy boar just now, but it exudes excitement and stares at Xia Zongxiao who only shows one head.
Xia Zongxiao also saw them, how to see this group of people with swords, at first panicked, then surprised, and only felt that the chain mail they were wearing and the blades they held were a little familiar... It's like the style of his own palace, and this leader is also a little familiar, where have I seen it now......
Before he could react, a person led more than a dozen people behind him rushed in, and the dead soldiers standing around him just wanted to stop them, but they were stopped by the black-robed man who followed the group of people and served the same as the dead soldiers.
More than a dozen people holding steel knives stared at Xia Zongxiao in such a fanatical and excited manner, Bai Ye was on guard and ready to make a move at any time, and the silent movement of his body completely protected Xia Zongxiao behind him, Xia Zongxiao could clearly feel that he was holding Bai Ye's right arm tightly and bulging.
"You ......" Before Xia Zongxiao's words fell, the leader's eyes moved slightly, and he saw that Bai Ye seemed to see the enemy who killed his father, and the steel knife waved and let out a clanging roar, and shouted angrily: "Escort!" Protect Your Highness! ”
When the people around him heard the greeting of the leader, they couldn't help but think about it, and suddenly tangled into a circle formation to surround Xia Zongxiao and Bai Ye.
The leader's face was flushed, and his voice was urgent: "Your Highness! Don't be surprised! The lowly officials swear to protect His Highness to the death! I will definitely save His Highness from the hands of the traitor! ”
He roared hoarsely at Bai Ye again: "Bai Ye, you are the general of Zhenbei under the control of Great Qin Ji Town!" Kidnap Prince Daqin in the middle of the night! Coveting the beauty of His Royal Highness, with the intention of misdeeds, blaspheming the prince and seeing it as an accomplice! Right Xiang and Wei Du to Shuozhou! has put you all over the prison, and let my prince go, if the prince has the slightest mistake, you are full of people! ”
Coveting beauty? What do you do? Bad intentions? Desecrate...... Xia Zongxiao listened to the mess, this is the nature of the outside world's determination of this matter?
