Chapter 55: Fighting in the Night

Suddenly, five sharp arrows shot out of the window, flying towards Zhu Xueyan on the bed from different angles, as if to shoot her through at once.

Zhu Xueyan's body instantly moved away from the bed and rolled to the floor, and all five arrows shot out at once.

Zhu Xueyan dodged and hid beside the wooden pillar, she noticed that there seemed to be a figure flickering at the door, so she unceremoniously raised the sleeve quiver under her wrist and shot an arrow.

There was a scream at the door.

The door opened, and three men appeared inexplicably, one of whom was squatting on the ground, gasping for breath and covering his abdomen with his hands. The men on either side of him stood, forming a formation to protect him.

They all wore black veils that hid their countenance. Looks can reveal too many secrets about a person, and secrets are often related to a person's life and death.

Sometimes, you don't need to know the secret to kill, killing is an art at all, and the killer knows the secret of the art of killing.

Zhu Xueyan felt the gazes of the three people, and couldn't help but sneer.

Their eyes were filled with indescribable ferocity and lewdness, as if a hungry wolf was about to bite and tear its prey to pieces.

Both sides didn't speak, they both moved again. No, not only the people on both sides, but also the spirits, minds, and those terrible forces on both sides, began to move.

Zhu Xueyan used her left hand to pull out the short sword that had been hidden on her body at the moment of jumping, and the target was the person who was crouching, and she knew that he was no longer capable of moving. The man on the other side's right swung his sword to block the stab, and even almost knocked off the short sword in his hand. However, her real killing move, which had already jumped up, was in her right hand, aimed at the person who blocked her short sword.

The man obviously didn't expect that her main target would be herself, and in a panic, she swung her knife horizontally, and Zhu Xueyan was already close to the other party at this time, and the quiver in her right hand was already aimed at the opponent's eyes, and she launched the machine.

The arrow went straight into the opponent's eye and pierced through the brain.

The person squatting on the ground turned around and wanted to flee at this moment, Zhu Xueyan turned his hand and shot an arrow at him, but the person on the left flew up and cut it down, knocking down the hidden arrow.

This person is almost fighting by instinct, because instinct is often better used than thinking in a fight. He dodged another arrow fired by Zhu Xueyan at close range, and slashed at her chest with a knife.

Zhu Xueyan was about to give him a leg when she was resisting with a short sword, but she felt the opponent's sudden pause, and hesitated whether to send the short sword into the opponent's chest at this moment. After a moment of hesitation, she heard the whistling of a sharp sword breaking through the air.

A sword tip peeked through the opponent's chest.

In this lightning and flint, Zhu Xueyan shot three arrows in a row, one arrow at the person who was about to escape, and two arrows at the door.

A series of screams rang out, and everything fell silent.

"Senior sister, it's me, Kuroko." A familiar voice rang out.

"I know it's you." Zhu Xueyan got up and said coldly, "The five people outside have all been solved?" ”

She had already recognized the method of killing people with flying swords just now.

"I killed three, and there are two left, and I just asked Senior Sister to kill them."

A skinny man flashed in outside the door.

Zhu Xueyan carefully pulled out the sword on the corpse and threw it to the visitor. She quickly stabbed the corpses on the ground with the short sword in her hand, and after making sure that the other party was all dead, she stepped forward and pulled out all the hidden arrows on the corpse.

These arrows were made of refined steel, and it was not easy to make, so she would not discard them unless she had to.

"Kuroko, where did these people come from?" Zhu Xueyan asked.

"It's all horse bandits." Heizi replied, "There are a total of more than 100 people from Shandong, and a while ago they met the people of the official army and the friends of the dart bureau, and many of them were killed, and there are about 30 of the left, who have been begging for a living here." He pointed to a person who was shot dead by Zhu Xueyan, "This is their leader, called Thunder Whirlwind." ”

Zhu Xueyan remembered the horse bandits she met on the road when she came, and couldn't help frowning.

"This place can't be stayed, big sister. Let the government know that so many people have died, and if we find out, there will be trouble. Heizi said, "Let's change places, and then go to the capital at dawn." ”

"Why didn't Katsuko come with you?" Zhu Xueyan asked.

"That boy, I don't know what I have done, I am confused, and I promise not to have an affair with a woman again. Hey, this time he still hasn't escaped the woman's catastrophe. Who knows, he really liked that sister, he had long forgotten the task assigned by his eldest brother, and he even told his identity to that sister. Kuroko sighed, "That sister leaked the news, and this matter reached the ears of the government, and the government sent a team of foreign guns to catch him off guard, and his leg was broken at that time, and after killing several officers and soldiers, he was also killed." Damn, I really want to slaughter that scourge with my own hands now......"

Hearing Heizi's answer, Zhu Xueyan's brows furrowed even tighter.

"I can't afford to take such a big risk for a 'half-hidden door', and besides, she's a poor person." She said in a deep voice, "Let's go." ”

In a short time, the two horses galloped out of the town.

"Have you heard about that person's whereabouts?" Zhu Xueyan asked.

I inquired that since he arrived in Beijing, he has been living in Xianliang Temple. He had few servants, and he didn't have any rings, but there were more guards than before, twenty-four in all, all red-clothed soldiers with foreign guns. Kuroko replied, "He also has two plum pistols with him, and he always went in and out of the Prime Minister's National Affairs Yamen and the Navy Yamen a few days ago. Recently, I heard that he was sick, so I didn't see him go out much, but there were quite a few people who came to see him. ”

"He's sick, and that's a good opportunity." Zhu Xueyan nodded.

"He doesn't know martial arts himself, and without those two foreign guns, he is nothing." Heizi said again, "But those red-clothed soldiers are extraordinary, not only can they shoot accurately, but they can also play with big knives, and they are very good in close combat. ”

"Oh." Zhu Xueyan listened to the sunspot's report, and couldn't deny it, but just nodded.

After the two of them rode up a hillside, Kuroko pointed to the outline of the huge city wall in the darkness in front of them and said, "The front is the capital, senior sister." ”

"Find a place and wait for dawn." Zhu Xueyan said.

At this time, Zhu Xueyan didn't know that the target she was going to kill was no longer alive.

And she would never have imagined that this person, despite his death, would still change her future fate. And with the death of this person, there will be more changes in the fate of people that they will never think of.
