Chapter 174: Being used as a sword
Wang Yan slept comfortably this night, and the charcoal fire in the house was very full, so he didn't feel cold with only a cloak.
I slept until the next day.
After Wang Yan woke up, he glanced at the bed tent not far away, which was still tightly wrapped in curtains.
The beauty was among them, Wang Yan could hear her breathing, it stands to reason that she should be awake, but why is she so calm, there is no sign of disorder in the sound of breathing.
Maybe I'm used to it.
Wang Yan put on his cloak and walked out of the bedroom without disturbing the beauty.
There were already people guarding outside the courtyard gate, and Wang Yan walked up to him, took the clothes from the tray held by the maid and put them on his body.
At this moment, Wang Yan had already put on a mask, so the maid didn't know Wang Yan, she only knew that the person in front of her was the pavilion master's distinguished guest, and she couldn't be lazy.
After changing his clothes, he glanced back at the bedroom and followed the maid out of the courtyard.
Soon after Wang Yan left, there was movement in the bedroom, the jade hand lifted the bed curtain, the jade foot slowly fell to the ground, and a stunning beauty slowly got out of bed, if Wang Yan was not here to poke his eyes blind, the woman who slept on the bed last night turned out to be a ghost queen!
Ghost Ji glanced at the courtyard door through the crack in the window, and then Shi Shiran walked to the soft couch where Wang Yan rested last night and sat down, the temperature of the soft couch was still there, but the ghost Ji's eyes showed a sense of hatred.
Wang Yan had breakfast under the arrangement of the maid, and the sound of fighting at the city gate was inaudible.
The maid led Wang Yan to a courtyard under His Royal Highness Jiaoluan to wait, and there were several good-looking girls standing in the room, and when they saw Wang Yan coming in, they stepped forward to wait.
Rubbing shoulders and legs, handing tea and water, there was nothing to cross the line, but these maids showed a look of sincere fear, it didn't feel like they were waiting for someone, but like waiting for a time bomb, and their expressions were like bomb disposal experts.
After waiting for a long time, the tea was drained of three pots, and finally someone came to pass the word.
Go to court! This word, which should only appear in the palace, actually appeared here.
Wang Yan stood aside, quietly watching the delicate beauties either stand up, or climb the steps together and enter the Jiaoluan Palace.
I roughly counted it, and the number of people was not much, more than thirty people.
Wang Yan entered the main hall last, and those who had entered before had already stood.
With a crisp bell ringing, a person walked out from behind the jade screen, the ghost queen was wearing a dark purple embroidered gold silk robe, wearing a phoenix crown inlaid with eastern pearls, stepping on a pair of thick-soled embroidered gold flower boots, and a flame pattern was dotted between her foreheads.
This is her side as the master of the Five Phoenix Pavilion, and she has seen it today, and she is really a bit of an empress.
All the women in the hall bowed down, but Wang Yan stood at the end, staring coldly at the ghost queen.
Without cover, Ghost Ji looked at Wang Yan with a smile, with a touch of ruthlessness in her eyes.
"Get up." The ghost queen spoke, and the daughters of His Highness slowly stood up.
The people standing behind all looked at Wang Yan secretly, just now this man didn't kneel, the pavilion master didn't blame him, where did this person come from?
Wang Yanhun didn't care about the gazes that looked at him, he always stared at the ghost queen, although it was rude, but it was better than looking at the ceiling.
It will be routine, and His Royal Highness's people are in charge of various areas in the capital, and they report the situation and income in the area to the ghost queen as usual, and his tone is a little jerky after speaking.
"Don't worry, but it's okay." Onihime fiddled with her nails and said casually.
"Yes!" The woman received the order and began to talk about the information.
Wang Yan listened carefully, the more shocked his heart became, the things these people said involved a wide range of things, including the Four Seas Gang, Qingyutang, and Juying!
"Juying Zhang San often meets a woman privately these days, the pavilion master, and his subordinates feel that they can make a fuss about that woman."
Zhang San will meet a girl privately! This news is very strong, and I have to investigate it when I go back.
"No need! Temporarily halt all operations against Juying. Ghost Ji said, but her eyes were on Wang Yan.
The four eyes are facing each other, and the fierceness is even stronger.
The court meeting lasted for nearly an hour before it ended, and the women left one after another, but Wang Yan stood still and waited for everyone to finish, and the hall became quiet.
Wang Yan didn't speak, he felt a trace of coldness.
Soon, five people who were tightly wrapped in black robes walked into the main hall.
Wang Yan's face was as usual, but he was vigilant in his heart, these five people were by no means ordinary people, and one of them had a familiar feeling on his body, it should be the female assassin he came back last night.
"Elder Xiao, I heard the news yesterday that Ying Fei was not dead, how should you explain it?" The ghost queen looked at the person who was for it and spoke first.
"Who said that?"
Elder Xiao's voice was cold, silent, without a trace of emotion, and it was chilling to listen to.
"Him." Ghost Ji stretched out her jade finger and pointed at Wang Yandao.
A cold gaze immediately shot and collided with Wang Yan.
"Are you doubting my sword?" Elder Xiao said coldly.
"I just doubt that Duan Yingfei is dead, it has nothing to do with you." Wang Yan said coldly.
"The city is already a place of vegetarianism, and a mourning hall has also been set up in the village, and the whole camp is mourning."
"You cut off Duan Yingfei's head?" Wang Yan said bluntly.
"I pierced his heart." Elder Xiao said coldly.
"What if his heart grows on the other side?"
"Sophistry!" Elder Xiao said, his hand already on the hilt of the sword.
"Regardless of Duan Yingfei's life or death, the Giant Tiger Gang is still besieging the city, and the danger of the Five Phoenix Pavilion has not been lifted." Wang Yan glanced at Elder Xiao and said. "The grain and grass of the Giant Tiger Gang have been burned, they can't support it for long, they only need to hold on to the city now, and in three or five days, they will naturally retreat."
"Duan Yingfei is dead, the grain and grass are burned out, it is a good opportunity to counterattack, it only takes a team of people to hit him hard!"
After Elder Xiao finished speaking, he turned around and knelt down.
"Please give the order of the pavilion master, and his subordinates are willing to lead the team out of the city to attack the camp."
Without waiting for the ghost Ji to speak, Wang Yan sneered and spoke.
"Stupid! Have you forgotten how you got caught? If it were me, I would also set up a mourning hall to lure a fool like you out of the city to die. Wang Yan said coldly, two cold lights shot out of his eyes and met Elder Xiao's gaze.
"Who are you?" Elder Xiao said, the long sword was unsheathed, and the killing intent spread throughout the hall, and the temperature in the hall seemed to be a little colder.
Wang Yan was not afraid, he had already made up his identity in his heart, and was about to say it, when the ghost queen on the phoenix couch said first.
"Elder Xiao, he is the personal guard I invited to replace Wei to protect me." Ghost Ji smiled and said to Elder Xiao.
"What do you say! You let a man be a personal bodyguard? "Elder Xiao's voice finally showed mood swings, it was anger! Monstrous rage!
Wang Yan's face sank, why did this ghost woman say that? What's the conspiracy in there?
Before he could think about it, the cold light was already in front of him, and Elder Xiao actually stabbed with his sword, as fast as lightning, only this Wang Yan's neck.
A flash of anger flashed in Wang Yan's eyes, and he turned sideways, and the blade of the sword slashed against his neck.
A sword missed, and Elder Xiao stabbed out another sword, still according to Wang Yan's vital point.
This woman is vicious! I must punish her today!
Wang Yan avoided the stabbing blade and stomped his foot violently, shattering the stone bricks under his feet, and even the surrounding bricks trembled.
Elder Xiao's movements also paused.
In an instant, it only takes a moment, Wang Yan is already a short knife in his hand, and he doesn't need double knives to deal with her.
The clanging blades intersected, and sparks flew everywhere.
When Wang Yan came up, he used his five success forces, and he was already pressing Elder Xiao to fight.
Although she shot fast, she couldn't be as fast as Wang Yan, and although her sword moves were exquisite, she couldn't cope with Wang Yan's moves.
In just fourteen rounds, the long sword in Elder Xiao's hand was swept away by Wang Yan.
Wang Yan didn't stop, and the back of the knife hit her hand and foot joints.
Elder Xiao trembled twice and fell to the ground, his hands and feet trembling.
"I'm going to kill you!" Elder Xiao said angrily.
Wang Yan walked up to her, put the short knife across her neck and said coldly.
"If I want to kill you, you are a dead man by now." After speaking, Wang Yan put away the short knife and returned to the original place.
Wang Yan's amazing performance fell into the eyes of the other four, and all four of them were shocked.
The female assassin who was rescued by Wang Yan last night had a gleam in her eyes, and said in her heart that this man is not only good at flying knives, but also has good skills, what is the origin, and it needs to be investigated.
"Dragon, you two will help Elder Xiao aside and find someone to heal the elder." Saying that, the ghost Ji showed a look of disgust and stared at Wang Yandao.
"You are also ruthless, even if you are strong in martial arts, you can't be disrespectful to the elders casually, I won't blame you for your first offense today, pay attention next time." Onihime smiled heartily.
Wang Yan also understood that he was used as a knife by this girl! It seems that she does not have a good relationship with these elders.
"The city defense is as you say, you can't hold out, you are satisfied." Onihime said with a grumbling face.
What does it mean that I am satisfied? Now it's all good for herself, and she picks herself clean.
"Do you elders have anything else to say?" Oni Ji looked at the other elders and said.
The four elders glanced at the ghost queen on the phoenix couch through the black robe, and the expressions in their eyes were different.
"The subordinates have nothing to say!" The four of them said in unison.
This is true, there is really nothing to say at this moment, and I don't know where she found this ruthless character, she defeated Elder Xiao in more than a dozen moves, Elder Xiao is a powerful person who can be equal to Zhang Qingsong, the victory and defeat between the two are only between one and a half moves, but now they are losing so completely!
The generational oppression is gone, and now it is the other way around! This change made the four of them a little difficult to accept for a while.
"In this case, the elders will go back to defend the city, Xiao Wei, you two send Elder Xiao back, remember to move lightly, don't hurt Elder Xiao." Onihime said with a smile.
Elder Xiao glanced at the ghost queen coldly through the black robe.
The Sprite walked up to her, but her hand was slapped away.
"I can walk on my own!" After speaking, Elder Xiao slowly supported himself, limped, and walked out of the main hall tremblingly, and the other four elders also walked out.
The ghost queen motioned for the dragon to go out, and only the ghost queen and Wang Yan were left in the hall.
"Isn't that happy? I've let you hear so much information before, so I shouldn't be too much to do me a little favor in turn. Onihime sneered.
"Intelligence, shouldn't the pavilion master pack this information and send it to Juying?" Wang Yan said coldly.
"It's not that I don't send it, this information is different from others, and if someone intercepts it in the middle, it's not good." Onihime covered her mouth and smiled.
The meaning of shirk is already Chiguo, Wang Yan did not continue to dwell on this matter, I heard Elder Xiao say that the city is a vegetarian place, could it be that Duan Yingfei is really dead?
