Chapter 81: The Siege
It has been two days since Jin Se and Xuan Ming returned to the Phantom Pavilion, and there are many beautiful scenery that have not been found on weekdays on this desert, thinking that it is already the winter season, although the desert is desolate, but every day the sun sets, and a large piece of red remnant sun dragged out on the desert of Jin Se is also a little meaningful.
Jin Se has been staying in the Xuan Ming Room since he changed his clothes from his room, although the two of them didn't say anything, but this short silence still made Jin Se feel a long-lost sense of peace in the panic. Although Jin Se is calm on the surface, her heart is extremely troubled.
If it is really as Xuan Ming said, the master of the Phantom Pavilion is Shangguan Hong himself, then now the Phantom Pavilion is also in deep trouble, although there are as many as 100 people in the pavilion, and all of them have excellent martial arts, if it is in secret, the prince will not get the slightest benefit, I am afraid that the army will press the border, if it is a siege, this vast desert, where can I flee to?
Xuan Ming seemed to have seen Jin Se's thoughts, he reached out and stroked Jin Se's face, the feeling of finger touch was a little cold, Jin Se looked up at Xuan Ming, and there was indescribable sadness in his eyes. Xuan Ming took Jin Se in his arms and said lightly:
"The Great Prince will definitely find this place. You and I must not stay here, you and I still have to make other preparations, we must not be trapped here, it is better to plan early. Jin Se nodded, her eyes were also earnest, she sighed, and said:
"You and I can still escape, but it's a pity that the other people in this Phantom Pavilion really want to be regarded as nameless, and even death can't be decided by themselves?" This sentence was engraved on Xuan Ming's heart like the tip of a knife. How could he not feel sorry for other people, but politics thought like this, becoming a king and defeating a villain, not to mention that the people in this Phantom Pavilion were originally puppets when they were alive, but they could still be free when they died.
"I understand what you mean, but now we can't take care of too many people, if the real prince sends troops to suppress the border, I can only protect it." Jin Se raised his eyes to look at Xuan Ming, and he had already seen through his thoughts. Ben is not a person who can control his own life, how can he pray to change the future of others. Jin Se didn't dare to think about what would happen if she also died with Xuan Ming, so she could only shrink into Xuan Ming's arms for another two points and be tightly entangled with him.
If time had stopped, the peace above the desert would not have been shattered out of thin air. That night, Xuan Ming retrieved his and Jinse's horses overnight, and hid them in the secret place of the Phantom Pavilion, so that he could ride them away as a last resort. Xuan Ming didn't dare to tell Jin Se about this. Although Jin Se is cold-blooded on the surface, she is very enthusiastic in her heart, if she really asks her to give up a few apprentices in this pavilion, presumably Jin Se will not feel at ease. Xuan Ming can't fit these other people in his heart, all he wants is Jinse's safety, that's all.
When the little killer knocked on Xuan Ming's door in a panic in the early morning of the next day, the moment Xuan Ming and Jin Se were awakened, Xuan Ming knew that the eldest prince had sent someone. He immediately opened the door for the little killer to come in and speak.
Obviously, the little killer didn't expect that their senior brother and second senior sister were in the same room at this time, and they were stunned for a moment before they finished speaking:
"In the middle of the night, I heard the sound of a herd of horses' hooves, and I thought it was a herd of horses crossing the border, but I didn't want to be caught up by this herd of horses in a moment." The little killer spoke a little tremblingly, as if he had never experienced such a great change, waiting for Xuan Ming to speak. Xuan Ming looked angry, but he couldn't see half of the panic on his face. Jin Se settled down and said lightly:
"You go and inform everyone in the pavilion to be on guard first, don't mess up the proportions, and wait until I come back with Xuan Ming to make a decision." The little killer nodded in response, then turned to look at Xuan Ming, who closed his eyes and told him to do as Jin Se wanted. The little killer looked much calmer, and finally asked:
"Senior brother, senior sister, who are these people?" Jin Se shook his head and wanted Xuan Ming not to say anything, but Xuan Ming glanced at Jin Se and said from the corner of his mouth:
"People of the court." The little killer suddenly realized that he left the house of Xuanming. Xuan Ming paused, took Jin Se's hand and went to the highest point of the Phantom Pavilion.
"Why are you telling him the truth, do you know how serious the consequences will be?!" Walking on the road, Jin Se complained to Xuan Ming, and Xuan Ming still replied lightly:
"All I know is that if I don't let them know who their opponent is, their panic will scare them to death before the prince kills them." Jin Se was shocked in his heart, Xuan Ming's intention turned out to be like this, and he couldn't help but put his mind at ease. Xuan Ming squinted at Jin Se and continued:
"And I say this just to let them know before they die at whose hands they are going to die." Jin Se suddenly felt cold, and Xuan Ming still thought of the most cruel result, but there was no way to solve it.
Looking down from the highest point of the Phantom Pavilion, the cliff where they were located had been surrounded by three layers inside and out, and under the torches of the forest, you could see the military flag held in the hands of the soldiers. After the layers of surrounding, a man on a white horse stood not far away. Jin Se could know his identity just by his momentum.
The Great Prince.
