Chapter 17: The Dilemma
Boom!
The two knives collided.
The man in black moves equally quickly, and can respond to changes in an instant, which shows that this person's strength is not trivial.
The man in black took three steps back, the knife in his hand was horizontal, and through the dim moonlight, he saw that the man's eyes were refracted in the night, like a beast.
Xiao Huai'an moved quickly, rushed again with arrows, slashed vertically, and the knife technique in his hand opened and closed, with the potential of swallowing thousands of miles and eight wildernesses.
The man in black kicked the table with his left foot, and smashed the table on his side towards Xiao Huai'an.
A knife fell, and sawdust flew.
The man in black came over and reached Xiao Huai'an's eyebrows with the knife in his hand.
Xiao Huai'an's body was in an extremely strange posture, calmly avoiding.
Seeing that the man in black was old, Xiao Huai'an threw the knife in his hand into the air, the blade changed the handle, and hit the neck of the man in black heavily, Xiao Huai'an didn't want to kill him, a living person will always be more valuable than a dead person.
The body of the man in black slammed to the ground, Xiao Huai'an's knife was on his neck, his foot stepped on his back, and said, "Don't move, if you move again, I will kill you." ”
Xiao Huai'an is the great eunuch next to the emperor, a first-class celebrity, usually not only responsible for the emperor's affairs, but also responsible for the emperor's safety.
Therefore, his martial arts have been learned since he was a child, with royal resources, and he has been practicing for more than ten years.
After not hearing the sound for a long time, Xiao Huaian was stunned, frowned, squatted down, and looked at the person at his feet.
At night, I could only see the man in black's eyes wide open and blood flowing from the corners of his mouth.
If there is a lamp, it can be seen that the blood flowing from the mouth of the man in black is black.
The martial arts are strong, the mission fails, and he immediately commits suicide by taking poison, which is not a dead soldier that ordinary people can train.
Xiao Huai'an put his hand on his neck, and his face sank a little.
It didn't beat, and sure enough, it was dead.
A sneer tugged at the corner of Xiao Huai'an's mouth, after so many years, he still hasn't let go of the temptation of himself, these people really have time to spare.
Su Jiao, who was on the bed, sat up stiffly, clasped her knees with her hands, and looked directly at Xiao Huai'an and the corpse on the ground.
Her face was pale, she was a queen in her previous life, and she also started from the basics, and she played a dead corpse, but when she saw the real corpse, she still couldn't overcome the strange feeling in her heart.
"Dead?"
A word of nonsense, but I still saw Xiao Huai'an nodding and answering.
There were many people outside the window, and someone hurriedly asked, "Lord Xiao, are you okay?" ”
"It's fine." Xiao Huai'an took the collar of the man in black and threw the corpse out, and said, "Dispose of the corpse and make it cleaner." ”
"Yes."
Some people dragged the corpses away, and some people went into the house to clean up, and it was not quiet until everything was back to the way it was before the fight.
The people of the entire Xiao Mansion are like a commonplace for this kind of thing.
Because of this, Su Jiao was even more puzzled, "Why did he come to kill you?" ”
I have never heard of Xiao Huai'an's enmity with others, but this black-clothed person chose to come directly at this time!
"It's okay, it's not the first time."
Inserting the knife into the sheath and calmly putting it back at the bottom of the bed, Xiao Huai'an sat on the edge of the bed with a light breeze on his face.
Su Jiao was not satisfied when she heard Xiao Huai'an's explanation, "This is not the first time, which means that this time is not the last." ”
Su Jiao looked at Xiao Huai'an and continued to ask, "As your newlywed wife, I will be with you in the future, don't you think you need to explain the reason to me?" Why do people keep assassinating you? ”
"You don't have to worry about this, since you follow me, then I will protect you." Xiao Huai'an hugged Su Jiao's arm tightly, and a deep voice sounded in Su Jiao's ears.
Su Jiao didn't appreciate it, broke free of Xiao Huai'an's arm, and sat up in her clothes, "No, this is a matter of life and death, I have the right to know the truth, you have to tell me." ”
After that, Su Jiao sat in front of Xiao Huai'an, staring at him motionlessly, with an expression that as long as he didn't say anything, then she would not stop.
"If you want to sit, then sit, I'm going to sleep." Xiao Huai'an lay on the bed, closed his eyes, pillowed his arms behind his head, and prepared to sleep.
Su Jiao suddenly became anxious and pushed Xiao Huai'an, "Can you still sleep here?" Aren't you afraid of another assassination at night? I don't want to be scared like that. ”
In the face of Su Jiao's relentless questioning, Xiao Huai'an had no choice, if he didn't give her an explanation tonight, I am afraid he would not be able to sleep.
Xiao Huai'an had to prop himself up with one arm, and stretched out a finger with the other arm and hooked Su Jiao.
Su Jiao stepped back imperceptibly, holding her shoulders with both hands, "What do you want to do?" ”
Xiao Huai'an hooked his lips, "How can you say such a confidential thing out loud?" If it is heard by someone with a heart, how can it be good? Come closer, I'll tell you quietly. ”
Although Su Jiao was a little jealous of him, she was really curious in her heart, lowered her head and thought for a while, and then said, "You can't fool me." ”
Xiao Huai'an sneered, "What do I tell you to do, come here, and I'll tell you the reason." ”
Su Jiao had to get closer, Xiao Huai'an leaned into her ear, and whispered, "I am in a high position, and some people are afraid and want to kill me." ”
The heat of speaking lingered in Su Jiao's ears, tickling, Su Jiao hurriedly retreated to the inside of the bed, and asked in the same whisper, "That's it?" ”
Xiao Huaian looked at Su Jiao with a serious face, "Isn't this enough?" You also know that officialdom is difficult, besides, I am still a celebrity around the emperor, and I know many secrets, and these alone are enough to be silenced. ”
As he spoke, Xiao Huai'an raised his hand and made a neck wiping motion on his neck.
Su Jiao believed Xiao Huai'an's words, and said to him with a sympathetic face, "Then you are really miserable." Will the assassins kill me with me? Or kidnap me and force you to comply? ”
The more Su Jiao thought about it, the more worried she became.
"You can rest assured that you can't get them interested at the moment. Besides, I'll protect you. Xiao Huaian said with an oath.
Su Jiao didn't believe him a little, "What do you guarantee it?" When you enter the palace, where will there be anyone to protect me? ”
"Then you say, how can you trust me?" Xiao Huai'an felt that the woman in front of him was becoming more and more interesting.
"I'm tied to you in the same boat now, one is lost, and the other is prosperous." Su Jiao pondered for a while, and finally spoke, "No, let's make an agreement." ”
Xiao Huai'an was very interested in this agreement, so he simply put on his clothes and sat up, "Tell me, what agreement." ”
"In the future, I will do my best to help you, and you will keep me safe." Su Jiao believes that with her own ability, she will definitely be able to help him and give him a better future.
Xiao Huaian nodded and agreed without hesitation, she was already married, even if there was no agreement, he would protect her, "Don't worry, if someone bullies you in the future, I will definitely help you fight back." ”
