Chapter 13: The Jedi Strikes Back

The snow-white sword body was infinitely enlarged in Xiao Yiran's pupils, and the dagger was held horizontally, she stubbornly blocked the blow, and her wrist was numb from the shock.

Seeing this, the black-clothed man's eyes became more and more fierce, his hands strengthened, and the blade of the sword slowly approached her cheek.

Xiao Yiran's forehead was bruised, she gritted her teeth and single-handedly, but she still couldn't resist this strong force, her body involuntarily leaned back, and her whole back had to stick to the ground.

Suddenly, the dagger in her hand turned slightly, and the silver-white blade of the sword refracted bright light in the sun, shooting straight into the eyes of the man in black.

The man in black subconsciously used his hand to block, and at this moment, Xiao Yiran's foot rotated ninety degrees on the edge of the car, jumped on the horse's back, and then immediately cut the noose.

The carriage behind immediately leaned forward, being left far behind.

"Drive!" Xiao Yiran, who had never ridden a horse before, didn't care how crazy the horse was at this time, he just wanted to get rid of the interception behind.

The winding blood trailed all the way, the horse's speed gradually slowed down, Xiao Yiran looked anxious, she took the time to look behind her, and did not see anyone.

The dusty wind slapped indiscriminately on her face, making her skin ache.

Finally, the horse couldn't bear it anymore and fell, Xiao Yiran was startled, and rolled to the ground next to him, with a hot pain all over his body, and it was estimated that he had fallen several places.

She got up with all her bones, did not dare to delay at all, and ran forward with no life.

However, after not running a few steps, the man in black suddenly fell in front of her from a tree, blocking her way.

Isn't this just light work?

Xiao Yiran was shocked to see that he could actually fly around on various trees.

Although there are many descriptions of ancient light skills in modern costume dramas, this is the first time she has seen the real one.

Thinking of this, her face became more and more condensed, I am afraid that this time the matter is not so easy to solve.

"Ahem...... Cough...... I have no grudge against you, so why do you want to kill me? Xiao Yiran asked, the dagger in his hand clenched unconsciously.

The man in black raised the long sword in his hand and pointed it at her, and replied word by word: "Take people's money and eliminate disasters for others!" โ€

Really! It's against her!

Xiao Yiran's brain was running rapidly: "How much does the other party pay you?" I can give you three times! I'm from the Loyal and Brave Marquis Mansion, and when I get back, I can ask someone to send you the money immediately!" โ€

"The rules of the main hall, the killing order is irrevocable! The girl is still dead, and this heart will die obediently! โ€

As soon as the words fell, the person stabbed her heart quickly, Xiao Yiran retreated, sudden, his waist bent into an incredible arc, and the dagger in his hand struck at the bottom of the man in black.

The man in black couldn't dodge, and a deep cut was made in his thigh, and blood quickly soaked his pants.

He was actually hurt by a milky little girl, if it spread, how would he gain a foothold in the temple in the future?

The anger on his body skyrocketed, and the sword under the man in black became more and more powerful, making a sound of breaking the air, as if he was going to break Xiao Yiran's body into ten thousand pieces.

Under his pressure step by step, fine beads of sweat began to appear on Xiao Yiran's forehead, and his movements gradually slowed down.

"Huh!" The blade of the sword sliced through her sleeve.

Xiao Yiran frowned slightly, his body quickly took a step back, and his eyes condensed.

"Die!" The man in black screamed and stabbed her mercilessly.

Xiao Yiran's heart sank, gritted his teeth to meet it, and the dagger in his right hand opened the sword of the man in black, and at the same time, his cuffs shook, and his left hand waved towards his face.

The man in black was startled, but it was too late to hide at the moment, only to hear a "bang", the sword in his hand fell in response, and then covered his eyes and began to scream.

At this moment, Xiao Yiran saw the opportunity, quickly rushed in front of him, and slashed his neck with a knife, ending his life.

As the corpse fell to the ground with a bang, Xiao Yiran also sat on the ground with no physical strength and began to gasp for air.

She looked down at the white powder on her hand and sneered: Fortunately, she brought a few packets of quicklime with her when she left, but she didn't expect to use it.

Two calculations in one day are really chilling. The first time he was drugged, he even sent someone to assassinate him directly!

I don't know who tried so hard to harm her? Is it one person or two different people? Who did she touch when she returned to Beijing this time?

The water in this capital is much deeper than she thought!

Xiao Yiran got up, his momentum changed suddenly, and his eyes were sharp: No matter who it is, as long as she provokes her Xiao Yiran, then you have to pay the price! She will definitely return to the capital to find out these pickled things, and fight with those people!

Following the bloodstains, she found her luggage that she had still left on the carriage, took out all the herbs in her bag, and began to make various powders on the ground.

Previously, because there were no suitable medicinal materials, she didn't have any poison on her body that could be used on her body, and if she had all kinds of medicinal powders at these critical moments, she wouldn't need to spend so much energy with others.

ยทยทยทยทยทยท

Three days later, in a teahouse in Kangtai City, Liguo, passers-by sat full. Some people stared at the storyteller on the stage in fascination, some people were bored pulling their collars to fan the wind, and some lowered their heads and discussed with the people next to them about the big things that had happened in the capital recently.

"Oops! Have you heard? The third lady of the Marquis of Zhongyong Mansion is dead! โ€

As soon as these words came out, they immediately attracted the attention of many people at the adjacent table, and several heads rushed over to ask: "What?" There are still three young ladies in the Zhongyong Marquis Mansion? I've never heard of it! โ€

"Tsk~" The man smacked his mouth dissatisfiedly and explained: "It's the third young lady born to the late Marquis Zhongyong, if you really talk about it, these three young ladies are more noble than any young lady in the mansion!" โ€

"Oh~ In that case, then why haven't I heard of any third lady in the Zhongyong Marquis Mansion now?"

"Whew! The third lady was sent to the suburbs after she was three years old because of some things, and she hasn't set foot in the capital for so many years, of course you don't know. This time, it was also because the third lady was about to marry someone in time, and the people from the Marquis Zhongyong Mansion decided to take the person back. โ€

"Why did you die again?"

"I said that I met robbers and robbers on the way, and everyone who followed them was killed! What a pity! โ€

Everyone on the left and right responded one after another, and they couldn't bear it. It's a pity that this delicate female doll finally came back and was killed again, it's really a bad fate!

At this time, someone at the table felt strange: "Then this young lady is dead, and the Marquis of Zhongyong's Mansion does not hold a funeral?" When I just passed by, I didn't notice the white silk hanging at the door. โ€

The man sighed and continued, "That's the hardest part! The Zhongyong Marquis Mansion didn't hold a funeral, and that was because the body of the third lady was gone! โ€

"Gone?" The crowd exclaimed.

"Yes, everyone's bodies have been found, but no one has found the body of the third lady after searching for several days!"

"What's going on? Could it be that he didn't die? โ€

"Impossible! The robber has killed so many guards, but he can't kill a little girl? If the girl really isn't dead, then the robbers ......"

He didn't finish his words, but all the people present were men, so why didn't they understand the meaning of his words?

What good days can there be in the hands of robbers? These three young ladies must have entered the wolf's den if they didn't die!

"What do the people of the Marquis of Zhongyong say?"

"Isn't the search warrant hanging at the gate of the city? The Marquis of Zhongyong's Mansion can say that whoever finds the body of the third lady will be rewarded with a hundred taels of gold. โ€

"One hundred taels? This Hou Mansion is really rich! โ€

"Who's to say it isn't? This loyal and brave marquis is also a beloved daughter! โ€

"Alas! Pity the hearts of parents all over the world! โ€

Just when everyone was full of praise for Xiao Zhiyuan, the black-robed man sitting at the back table drank the last drop of tea in the cup with an elegant demeanor, and she put the teacup on the table, interrupting the voices of everyone behind her.

"Little two! Checkout! He got up and put the two copper coins on the table, and the black-robed man stepped out of the teahouse without looking back.

"Who?" The crowd was dissatisfied.

"Whatever! We say ours. The people next to him persuaded him, and after a while, the table was lively again.

The black-robed man stood at the corner of the street and slowly raised his head, revealing that beautiful and incomparable face, his expression was indifferent, and his demeanor was calm, it was the dead third lady of the Zhongyong Marquis Mansion Xiao Yiyi in their mouths!
