Chapter 15: The Hunt

And so it was a quiet time. The man in black hadn't come looking for him, and no one else had bothered him. Xiao Heng accompanied Shen Muyao like this, living his leisurely and shameless life. The little worry in his heart was also well hidden by him, and Shen Muyao didn't notice anything wrong with him.

Xiao Heng squatted on the ground and helped Shen Muyao dry the herbs. Shen Muyao was in the house, separating the dried herbs and packing them.

Xiao Heng was a little bored, so he ran to find Shen Muyao again.

"Yaoyao, do you want me to help you?"

"You haven't done your own thing yet, what are you doing here?" Shen Muyao pushed away his face.

"But Yaoyao, it's so hot there, I can't see you yet."

"Yaoyao, if you're not hot, I'll do it if it's hot."

"Okay, what are you going to do. I stand at the window, and you can see me. ”

"But it's so hot......"

He was suddenly hugged: "Is it still hot?" ”

The little girl was soft, and his heart was warm.

Xiao Heng's face was stunned, and he fled in a hurry.

The summer is scorching, quiet and windless, and the leaves are quietly watching the little couple make trouble.

Xiao Heng ran back to the back of the house.

Wrong.

After the last follow-up, Xiao Heng didn't show it on his face, but in fact, he quietly tuned the strings in his heart, ready to deal with the sudden changes.

If he is alone, it doesn't matter, but now there is Shen Muyao.

He couldn't let her get hurt in the slightest.

Xiao Heng quietly pretended to take the basket and returned to the house.

Shen Muyao saw him coming over again, frowned and was about to speak, Xiao Heng gently covered her mouth: "Don't make a sound." ”

Shen Muyao knew that something must have happened to Xiao Heng, so she also closed her mouth and looked at him quietly.

Someone outside is approaching. Xiao Heng pricked up his ears and listened, no less than ten people.

So many people will not be good.

He took Shen Muyao and quietly brought her into the closet: "No matter what happens, don't come out." ”

Shen Muyao nodded.

Xiao Heng picked up his sword and moved to the door.

Someone approached the door.

Xiao Heng clenched his sword.

The man pushed the door openβ€”

Xiao Heng turned his wrist and stabbed down with a sword before the man could react.

The head falls to the ground.

The people outside noticed that something was wrong and rushed over. Xiao Heng's left hand held the sword that was stabbed by a person, and his right hand turned and stabbed him back. Someone slashed behind him, Xiao Heng dodged sideways, and knocked the person who was stabbed in his hand behind him, and the two of them fell to the ground. He picked up the sword that the man had dropped, and with one turn he led the pursuer into the courtyard.

Fourteen or fifteen people surrounded Xiao Heng, and Xiao Heng used two swords at the same time, blocking the slashed sword with one hand, and stabbing the sword into the chest of the other person with the other hand. Someone slashed behind him again, and the bloody sword he drew was another one. Others stabbed at him, but he was caught between two sides and could not be avoided.

The tip of the sword glistened, and it struck straight at the center of his brow.

It was too late to say that it was too late, and a sharp arrow broke through the wind and drove into the center of the man's eyebrows. Then a few arrows whizzed in, killing several people who intended to slash at Xiao Heng.

Xiao Heng took advantage of this sword to kill the person in front of him, and kicked the person behind him in the chest again. A man in black rushed into the courtyard with a group of people, and the time for a cup of tea was already a victory.

Xiao Heng didn't care about the details of those people, and hurriedly rushed into the house in a few steps and opened the wardrobe.

Shen Muyao knew that the matter must be extraordinary, and she listened to his words silently, but when she heard the sound of fighting outside, her whole heart was pinched. The voice slowly became quieter, and she was anxious, but she didn't dare to go out, and when she heard someone coming here, she closed her eyes in fear.

Then, she fell into a warm embrace, and heard Xiao Heng's voice ring above her head: "Don't be afraid, I'm here." ”

Xiao Heng appeased Shen Muyao before returning to the courtyard.

The man in black saw him coming and saluted him: "Fifth prince, it's too late for your subordinates." ”

Xiao Heng shook his head: "I am not your master, and you are not my subordinates. I don't want to do that. ”

The man in black seemed to know for a long time, and replied calmly: "If the fifth prince hasn't thought about it yet, don't worry. But you and I have seen today's scene, the emperor has found here, once it doesn't work, there will be a next time, are you really willing to let the lady suffer? ”

What he said was exactly what Xiao Hengxian was worried about.

After the man in black finished speaking, he turned around and left. Xiao Heng thought for a while, and stepped forward to stop: "I don't know what Your Excellency is called?" ”

"Your Excellency doesn't have to, you don't have to be named."
