Chapter Thirty-Five: The Night Hunter
The news of Xie Yaoguang's assassination spread to Su Mansion one step ahead of her. Because of this incident, Su Yu sent people to the guest house several times in a row, and after running away a few times, he finally couldn't hold back and came to the door in person, but the result was that Xie Yaoguang did not return.
However, Xie Yaoguang, who was the main figure in this assassination incident, did not return to Su Mansion until the time of You. Not long after she entered the guest house, there was a sudden wind and rain, and the rain poured down. She stood quietly in front of the window and looked up at the deep night, and from time to time there was a silver lightning flashing, shining on her face a little cold.
"This rain came at a really good time." Xie Yaoguang lifted his lips and raised his hand to caress the lines on the carved window lattice.
"No, miss, let's move out, right?" Suzaku helped Xie Yaoguang sit down in front of the bronze mirror and removed the hairpin ring for her, and raised his eyes and said, "It's not safe to live in this place. ”
"It's all arranged?" Staring at the plain white face in the mirror, the corners of his lips were slightly hooked, and his eyes were as sharp as a blade.
"All arranged at your request"
Hearing this, he nodded and waved his hand to signal Suzaku to retreat. There were only two candles left in the house, which were shrouded in a veil, and they stood there in vain. Xie Yaoguang half-leaned on the couch, the snow-white shirt on her body made her face more and more pale, her black hair was scattered on her shoulders at will, across the screen in front of the couch, the candle flame was sparse, and her shadow was reflected on the screen, which looked like a picture of a beauty. On the couch, she played with the dagger in her hand, and through the candlelight, she could faintly see the blue luster on the blade. With a shallow smile in his eyes, he raised his hand and neatly retracted the dagger into the sheath.
The wind is coming......
The rain fell down the eaves and turned into a beaded curtain, and the plantains in the courtyard were beaten by the wind and rain and made a sound of rustling. It was the time when most of the people had fallen asleep at the moment, and in the entire Su Mansion, except for the guards on patrol, there were basically only servants on duty at night walking around the mansion.
More than a dozen black shadows jumped neatly over the ridges of the roof, and their bodies landed steadily in the courtyard. Through a simple gesture exchange, it was determined that there was no one else in the entire guest house except for the Suzaku Martial Arts. Suzaku has been stunned by them, and now even if the people in the house have the ability to pass through the sky, they will not escape death.
Nodding to each other, except for one person entering the house. Everyone else stayed outside to prevent anyone from breaking in. When the man entered the house, there was an inaudible sigh from the plum tree in the courtyard. If it weren't for the fact that a few people were used to licking blood with knives, I am afraid it would be easy to ignore this voice. The rest of the people looked at each other and jumped up in unison, until the plum tree formed a sword net from all sides.
The man in the plum tree chuckled and drew his sword. Jumping up on the plum branch with his strength, the long sword in his hand swung a blue color. Among those people, sharp-eyed people had already recognized He Jian! Water Sword! One of the Eight Swords of Yue. I can't help but think about it too much, and don't be distracted by the master's tricks. The water-breaking sword in the other party's hand is like a spring lover's hand brushing his face with a hint of chill. Several people turned backwards and landed firmly on the ground.
"Your Excellency is good, I don't know who your name is?"
"The dead don't need to know my name."
Slender lightning slashed across the sky, reflecting on the sharp blade of the sword, and before the thunder sounded, it suddenly brought a bloody color, and the sword-wielding dead man on his left clutched his throat and fell to the ground in horror. Seeing this, the rest of the people immediately raised their swords and stabbed them, testing that the other party could not detect the reality of the other party, and only by defeating him as soon as possible could they complete the task. Zhuo Jing had the mentality of a cat playing mouse because of Xie Yaoguang's instructions, showing flaws from time to time, giving those opportunities but inadvertently taking people's lives.
The room was darkened the moment the Assassin entered. He listened to the sound of long breathing coming from the couch behind the fan screen, and couldn't help but sneer, bent his arm to wipe the blade of the sword, and there was irrepressible excitement in his eyes. After all, it is an extremely proud thing to be able to kill such a hot character. Slowed down and picked up the hanging veil with his sword, his movements were gentle, as if Jia Shi gently lifted the curtain and peeked at Han Lu shyly. However, at that moment, there was a trace of fear in his eyes, and after years of bloody life, he was keenly aware of a trace of murderous intent in the room, and when he looked at the couch again, he found that there was no one on it at all. On his side, there was an inaudible sigh, and he subconsciously raised his sword and stabbed into the darkness, but at this moment, a ray of blue flashed in front of his eyes, and then he felt a cold blood on his neck, splattering out and sprinkling on the gauze tent.
Shen glanced at the black-clothed dead man who fell to the ground with doubts and unwillingness, and sighed with regret: "It's not a good thing to underestimate the enemy too much." I really don't know martial arts...... Who says only a blade can kill? ”
Xie Yaoguang lifted his eyes, looked at the smoke rising from the table, walked to the table, picked up the teacup carelessly, extinguished the burning spices, and sneered on his lips. Standing by the window with the teacup in his hand, staring at the group of people in the scuffle, he threw the teacup to the ground.
It was agreed earlier that the scene of the clean-up had been tossed as a cup. Zhuo Jing's expression was awe-inspiring when he heard this, and his moves were no longer as casual as before. The move is pressing, and there is a compelling chill in the sword. Those people glanced at each other, and they already had a plan in their hearts. The man in the house didn't seem to be to be underestimated, and now the only way to kill the man in front of him was to kill the person in the house.
Zhuo Jing raised his eyebrows and glanced at the three of them, and sneered. The figure swooped down on the man on the upper left, raising his sword and slashing at the man's face. The man's heart fluttered and swept backwards. But just as he was leaning against the tree and gasping for breath, a sharp sword pierced his chest. The sword was wielded by Suzaku, who was fascinated by them, and he fell to the ground unwillingly with his eyes open. Zhuo Jing and Suzaku looked at each other and nodded to each other, and the two of them ran to each other's remaining two together. The other two looked at Zhuo Jing and Suzaku with a somewhat panicked expression. Although the two of them did have some difficulty with Zhuo Jing, they could handle it. If Suzaku also joined the battle, then the two of them would not be opponents, and after thinking about it, the two of them had a plan in their hearts, and turned around and rushed to the house where Xie Yaoguang was.
Zhuo Jing and Suzaku secretly said that it was not good, so they raised their spirits and went to chase those two. Seeing that the two of them boasted that they touched Men, Zhuo Jing raised his sword and swung out a fierce sword aura, forcing the two to take a few steps back before standing firmly, covering their chests and vomiting blood.
Hearing a "squeak" in his ears, Xie Yao stood in front of the door with the fox fur in his hands, raised his eyes and glanced at the remaining two dead soldiers, and smiled lightly.
Seeing the current situation, the two knew very well that the mission had failed, and they wanted to bite their tongues and kill themselves. However, Zhuo Jing and the others would not give the two of them a chance to rush forward, and in an instant, they unloaded the jaws of the two of them, so they put their hands in their mouths and pulled out a wax pill the size of a cyan pearl, which was wrapped in a layer of oiled paper, and pulled out their teeth with a little force in their hands, and threw them on the ground. Now that the suicide method has been cut off, the two of them couldn't help but stare at Xie Yaoguang in horror.
Once a dead soldier like them is caught by mistake, there is no way to get rid of it.
"Do you want to live?"
Xie Yaoguang didn't bother to go around the bend with the two, and threw the question directly. In this world, everyone does not spare their lives, even if there are interests that can drive people to the days of licking blood with knives, but the longer this kind of days, the more afraid of death in their hearts, after all, no one cares about their lives or deaths.
