Chapter 322: Assassin
After dinner and everything was cleaned up, it was already dark and dark.
After Yan Xiao came back, she didn't rush to say anything to Shi Qingqian, she knew that Yan Xiao was afraid that someone would hear it and startle the snake.
Finally cleaned up, Shi Qingqian asked Feiyun to take his subordinates to rest. Yan Xiao's room was next door to Shi Qingqian's room, so when everyone returned to their rooms, Yan Xiao dodged and slipped into Shi Qingqian's room.
"Yan Xiao, so there is really something between this Chai General and that Yicheng, right?" Shi Qingqian rubbed his head, he didn't call her Ansheng from morning to night, and even when she was about to fall asleep, she had to worry about that Chai Guang.
Yan Xiao nodded lightly and relayed the words he had just secretly heard to Shi Qingqian word by word.
After Shi Qingqian heard this, he sighed helplessly, "This Tuoba peach is inevitably too small-bellied, a small thing actually made her chase me like this, she failed in the tavern last time, and even stretched out her hand to such a remote small town." β
"Do you want to arrest that poster?"
"No need, that Yicheng is just a small character, and besides, I'll leave Dongwu tomorrow, so I don't have time to deal with a Tuoba Peach who can't get along with each other for a long time." Shi Qingqian supported his chin with his hand, thinking about how this matter should be good.
According to Tuoba no Tao's brain, if he didn't poison the water and food, he could only find the killer and kill her while she was asleep.
Yan Xiao frowned, Shi Qingqian's attitude of blindly forbearance made him very unpleasant, "Then just waiting for someone to kill you?" β
"Tsk," Shi Qingqian smacked her lips, she heard the impatience in Yan Xiao's tone, "What are you anxious about, I didn't say that I just sat back and waited." I'm just too lazy to bother with Takuba's peach, but I'll have to warn her this time! β
Hearing this, Yan Xiao finally nodded, and there was more appreciation in his eyes.
"Okay, Yan Xiao, you go back, just listen carefully to the movement."
"I'll wait in the house." Yan Xiao said.
Shi Qingqian waved his hand back, "No, no, if you just come in and be seen, they won't dare to act easily." β
Yan Xiao thought that what she said made sense, so he nodded twice, and before turning his head to leave, he couldn't help but turn around and instruct: "If you have a problem, call me quickly." β
Shi Qingqian smiled and nodded.
After Yan Xiao left, Shi Qingqian was also completely sleepy, so he took down a tattered bamboo slip book from the dusty bookshelf, flipped through a paragraph at random, and found that it was a small folk story written on it, although it was incomplete and the handwriting had long been blurred, but it was still unexpectedly popular.
My ears became quieter, and now I was filled with sounds that belonged to the night. The wind blowing through the withered branches, and the lingering cries of insects all made Shi Qingqian feel that everything was so slow.
Suddenly, there was a strange sound in my ears.
Shi Qingqian keenly caught it, not because of how loud the sound was, but because such a sound was incompatible with this night, so people had to notice its abruptness.
The sound was the sound of a man stepping on a dead branch and rotten leaves as he walked briskly, and the crisp "click" sound was particularly noticeable in the silence of the night.
Shi Qingqian reacted instantly, she quickly avoided the angle of the window, afraid that if someone shot arrows from a distance, she held the silver wire whip in one hand, and looked at the broken wooden door of her house vigilantly.
Such a big movement, even she heard it, and Yan Xiao must have heard it too. When she thought of this, she felt a lot more relieved.
The sound was getting closer and smaller, and just when Shi Qingqian almost felt that time was going to stand still, the door was suddenly kicked open vigorously from the outside, and two men in black flew in with long swords.
"Yan Xiaoβ" Shi Qingqian shouted, whipping back violently.
The whiptail unleashed like a dragon and struck the man in the face hard. They obviously didn't expect that the people in the house had been prepared for a long time, so the first few attacks from Shi Qingqian could be eaten hard.
Soon, they regained their composure, couldn't help but dodge Shi Qingqian's attack, and slashed at it with a wave of the sword in their hand.
Shi Qingqian hurriedly withdrew the silver silk whip, pulled his hands, caught the blade of the sword, and at the same time kicked it on the man's chin.
During the fight, she heard a jumble of footsteps coming from the rooftopβ
It seems that there are not a few people who come.
Two men beat her and a woman, just when Shi Qingqian felt a little overwhelmed, Yan Xiao directly stepped on the roof and smashed the tiles and fell, and he kicked the two of them out half a meter away with a spinning kick in the air.
"More than two dozen people, they should all be well-trained killers." Yan Xiao stretched out his hand and protected Shi Qingqian.
Shi Qingqian looked at the two people who were struggling to get up, and smiled in his heart, "What's this, we also have a lot of people!" β
Let's say it, she deliberately cleared her throat and shouted, "Someone! There are assassins! β
Under Shi Qingqian's sharp shout, Feiyun and the others hurried over.
"Little Lord! Are you alright? β
"I'm fine, I'm fine!" Shi Qingqian hurriedly said.
The soldiers of the Yu Kingdom who rushed over quickly scuffled with the group of black-clothed people, and the situation was critical, and everyone only cared about fighting each other, and suddenly snowflakes flew.
Yan Xiao frowned slightly, reached out and snatched the sword from the man in black, and after holding a sword flower, he struck the man's neck with the hilt of the sword, and the man fainted after a glance.
The current situation obviously didn't require him to make a move, so he raised his arm and blocked Shi Qingqian's view.
This battle has gradually come to an end, and Chai Guang's people have hurried over.
They only slashed two or three people with their swords, and it seemed that there was an instant silence.
Feiyun wiped the blood off his face casually, he gasped slightly, seeing that everyone had been controlled, he hurriedly ran to Shi Qingqian's face, "Little, little county lord, are you okay?" β
"I'm fine, thank you for your hard work." Shi Qingqian glared at Chai Guang, who was in a hurry to kill people as soon as he came, and said to Feiyun, "General Feiyun, you can see if there is any life left." β
Feiyun nodded, and immediately ordered.
In the blink of an eye, he saw Chai Guang walking up, frowned, and only heard him say, "Lord Baoying, I'm sorry, you're not injured, right?" β
Shi Qingqian snorted lightly, "General Chai, why are the guards patrolling this night so careless?" So many people were actually released? β
Chai Guang was stunned and replied, "Lord Baoying, the people patrolling outside have also encountered accidents. β
"Well, I said, who are these people? The little county lord almost died, and General Chai had nothing to say! Feiyun stepped forward and said angrily.
Chai Guang smacked his lips and said, "This is just some refugees in a small city, it's just that when I see outsiders entering the city, I have bad intentions, this kind of thing is common in this kind of deserted small city, General Feiyun doesn't have to be so different." β
Hearing this, Shi Qingqian nodded, and Chai Guang, who was staring at him with deep eyes, felt furious in his heart, "General Chai is worthy of being the general of Dongwu, and the identity of this man in black can be said in such detail without looking at it......"
