400 cross-examination
The sword light behind him came again, this time, he couldn't avoid it, he took the sword alive, and then, he had stepped lightly on the flower branch under the window, and fell to the ground safely, covering the wound on his arm with one hand, he raised his head and looked up, just collided with Ye Xinyi's gaze who leaned out of the window and looked down.
But when his eyes met, he lowered his eyes, and his footsteps did not stop, and he ran into the dark night.
At this time, the entire Banglu Pavilion was already alarmed, some people shouted that there were assassins, and farther away, the noise of people could already be heard.
Ye Xinyi stood at the window, squinting in the direction where the man in black had fled, his face covered with suspicion.
An Xiang also came to her side, looking in the direction where her gaze fell, but saw nothing.
The noise outside the house is getting closer, and tonight is destined to be a sleepless night.
Because of one assassin, the entire Xia Mansion was alarmed.
By the time An Yang and Shen Yue hurriedly arrived from the outer courtyard, the entire Banglu Pavilion had been heavily surrounded by the guards of the Xia Mansion, and Mrs. Xia had already arrived.
Her hair was only tied up at random, and the fat powder was not applied, and it was obvious that she had been woken up from her sleep and hurried over.
Shen Yue and An Yang entered the house, their eyes wandering around the house, but they didn't see the person they were looking for.
On the contrary, Mrs. Xia saw them and greeted them.
The two of them gathered their minds and saluted her.
Mrs. Xia naturally knew that they were worried, so she said, "An Xiang, they are fine, let's change their clothes in there at this time." ”
When her words fell, there was also the sound of footsteps at the stairs, and when she turned her head to look over, two figures came down hand in hand, it was An Xiang and Ye Xinyi.
The two of them seemed unharmed, but Shen Yue was still not at ease, his worried eyes were fixed on her face, until she shook her head at him and smiled slightly, reassuring him, and his panicked heart was finally realized.
God knows that he had just walked back to the guest house, returned to the room and changed his night clothes, and before he could lie down, he heard the noise in the inner courtyard, saying that Bang Lu Pavilion had been assassinated, and he only felt a thunder explode above his head, and he got up and rushed out without thinking. On the way here, my heart has been hanging, and I never thought that with Ye Xinyi's skills, there are not many people in the world who can easily hurt her.
It wasn't until he was sure she was safe and sound that the atrium in his chest was able to beat normally again.
Here, the husband and wife have exchanged hearts silently, and there is no need for words for a tacit understanding.
Over there, An Yang finally made sure that An Xiang was unharmed, and he also calmed down a little, exhaled imperceptibly, and when he turned to look at Mrs. Xia, there were two sharp points between his eyebrows that had never been shown in front of the Xia family, "Mrs. Xia, what is going on?" ”
In this sentence, there is an obvious meaning of reproach.
After all, they were guests in the Xia Mansion, and An Xiang was assassinated in the inner courtyard of the Xia Mansion, so how could the Xia Mansion give them an explanation.
They want to marry the Xia Mansion, but it doesn't mean that they have to beg in a low voice, this family matter, if it can be done in the final analysis, it will also be a lot of benefits to the Xia family, a win-win situation, it is really not that they are high, naturally there is no need for dwarves.
Mrs. Xia obviously understood very well, put her posture very low, and smiled apologetically, "This matter is still being investigated, none of us expected such a thing, it stands to reason that the guards in our mansion should not let people break in easily...... However, in any case, this matter is always our negligence, and I have sent someone to report to the general, and he will definitely come back and give an account to the two of you personally. ”
Mrs. Xia said, squatting down and bowing deeply to the two. This is a great gift in the daimyo, and with the identity of Mrs. Xia, it cannot be said that it is not solemn.
An Yang's face softened slightly, and he was about to say something, when a deep voice suddenly came from behind him, "What's going on?" ”
Several people looked back, and saw Xia Changhe coming in a tiger's step, the armor on his body had not been removed, the sound of military boots was heavy, and Xia Changhe's face did not have the hearty smile when they saw each other, but his face was calm, holding the handle of the knife on his waist with one hand, and he seemed to carry a thick evil aura as if he was carrying a thick evil spirit.
An Yang and An Xiang brother and sister avoided the side and saluted him.
Ye Xinyi and Shen Yue naturally hid behind them.
Xia Changhe's face sank like water into the hall, and his eyes fell on Mrs. Xia, asking silently.
Mrs. Xia was not in a hurry, and took a step forward and said, "I don't know what is going on, the concubine doesn't know yet, it just so happens that the general is back, so it's up to the general to ask!" ”
Xia Changhe nodded, looked at An Xiang, softened two points, and smiled slightly, "Niece Xian is not injured, right?" ”
An Xiang learned the etiquette of the Han people, bent her knees and blessed Xia Changhe, and then shook her head and said, "I'm okay, although the assassin is menacing, but I have practiced some fists and kicks, and I am not completely powerless to fight back, and Ye Niang next to me is a capable person, and she came in time, so she didn't let the assassin succeed." It's just that the general has a lot of opportunities, and he has to bother you to rush back from outside, so I really can't help it. ”
"You don't have to worry about it, you are a guest in my house, if something happens, I can't explain it to your father." Xia Changhe smiled, but his eyes were gloomy for a moment, "You just said, Ye Niang beside you?" His gaze had already crossed over to An Xiang and looked behind her.
After all, there is only one person brought by An Xiang.
An Xiang's eyes glanced behind her.
When Ye Xinyi made a move, she had expected such a time, but at that time, she had no way to hesitate more, and now, she could only block it with soldiers, and the water would cover it.
On the side, Shen Yue was still half-hanging his eyes, looking at his nose and nose, and Ye Xinyi also took a step forward calmly and squatted towards Xia Changhe.
"You are Ye Niang?" Xia Changhe's gaze no longer looked at An Xiang's gentleness, and when it fell on Ye Xinyi, it looked very sharp.
Ye Xinyi was quiet from beginning to end, and responded softly, "It's the slave." ”
"Do you know martial arts?" Xia Changhe's gaze was still firmly locked on her, deep and sharp.
"I know some superficial kung fu, it's not very exquisite, it's a fluke, but it's just a brute force, thinking that no matter what, I can't let people hurt my girl."
"General Xia!" An Yang listened to the side for a moment, his eyebrows furrowed more and more, and finally he couldn't help but raise his voice, "Isn't the most important thing now to track down the assassin?" Why are the people who keep interrogating me here? If this Ye Niang didn't know some kung fu, I wouldn't put her by An Xiang's side to protect her. ”
The displeasure in these words has been undisguised, and there is no longer the humble posture of the younger generation earlier, and the Anyang at this moment is sharp.
Finally revealed the power of the successor of the two clans.
Xia Changhe and Mrs. Xia glanced at each other, and Mrs. Xia immediately stepped forward and sang with a red face, "Virtuous nephew and virtuous niece, don't misunderstand, my general is a man who can't speak, so I guess I misunderstood you." ”
