Xia Qingtong didn't ask much, and followed Hongying to the next room.

Ming Yue, Chai Jiu, and Su Qingye were already waiting there. Ming Yue's face was as usual, and Xia Qingtong stood beside him.

The candles in the house had been extinguished, and the light inside was the refraction of the moonlight outside. Xia Qingtong looked at Ming Yue's face in the dark, and unconsciously became a little nervous.

"Is anyone really coming? Who? ”

Ming Yue didn't speak, he made a silent gesture, Xia Qingtong understood.

In the dark of night, everything became very quiet. In the silence, the only sound becomes very distinct.

In a village that is no longer deserted, there will be a uniform sound of footsteps outside. And the sound of horses' hooves.

Xia Qingtong: ......

What's the situation?

She suddenly became nervous. Ming Yue's expression was cold, but he was not much surprised, as if he had expected it.

"You know?"

"Probably."

He spoke in a breathless voice, and the voice brushed her ears, and Xia Qingtong felt that his ears were a little hot.

She turned her attention away from the outside.

The tranquility of the villa in the dark night was broken, Xia Qingtong and they were in the inner courtyard, and they couldn't see the scene outside, but from this movement, there were a lot of people.

There were no less than a hundred people standing outside, and the people in front of them stopped on their horses. The leader glanced at the dark village and raised his hand.

"Search."

After a cold word, the people behind scattered in a hurry, and all of them ran towards the deserted village.

More than a dozen people came to them.

There are many people on the other side, and on their side, there are only five people. Even if Ming Yue is surrounded by masters, but with one enemy and ten, there are too many people on the other side.

There is only a small courtyard between this house and the outside, and outside the courtyard are those people whose origin is unknown and whose purpose is not pure.

However, what Xia Qingtong was worried about did not happen.

I don't know what Ming Yue did, after those people came in, they kept walking around the yard, turned around a few times, glanced at the door of each house, and soon went out again.

When those people approached the window, Xia Qingtong obviously felt that his heart was beating much faster.

She thought those people would come in.

"The blue night will have some strange door Dunjia techniques."

This sentence can be regarded as an explanation, Xia Qingtong understands. Think about it, with the identity of Ming Yue, there must be a lot of people around who can know these thaumaturgy.

"So they can't find anyone and leave?"

Seeing those people leave, Xia Qingtong breathed a sigh of relief.

However, Ming Yue's expression was obviously not much relaxed, he stared outside, listening to the footsteps from messy to neat.

In the middle of the village outside, the leader listened to the report of his subordinates and sneered.

"Ignition."

The subordinate turned around expressionlessly, waved his hand, and the person who was searching just now immediately took the torch in his hand and scattered around......

Xia Qingtong couldn't hear the movement outside, until she saw the sky-high firelight lit up, and she looked at Ming Yue with wide eyes.

"They—"

Ming Yue curled the corners of his lips and looked outside with a smile.

Turning around, his expression was a little playful: "Guess who's out there?" ”

"The Seventh Prince?"

Since the salt mine belongs to the Yin family, it should be the Seven Princes who want to kill people, right?

Not right-

Xia Qingtong almost immediately figured out the key point: "Someone is fishing in troubled waters? ”

"Clever."

Ming Yue glanced at her appreciatively. Smart people are this benefit, and they don't need to say much about it.

Who could that be?

This person has a vicious mind, and Ming Yue came to Lucheng to investigate the case, and he is the biggest suspect.

If he can return to the capital alive, he will naturally be able to clear his suspicions. But if he's dead—

The person who killed him can be said to have committed suicide in fear of sin, or he has successfully diverted his attention.

If the person behind the scenes is not from the Yin family, then the Yin family and Ming Yue will inevitably damage each other through this matter.

The snipe and the clam compete, and the fisherman profits. I don't know who the fisherman is?

Xia Qingtong looked at the fire outside, and he didn't have the heart to think about who was behind the scenes.

The fire outside has begun to spread to the entrance of the courtyard. The other party estimated that it would not be long before the fire would definitely burn to this side of the house.

"What are we going to do now?"

If you just go out to put out the fire and those people don't leave, they will confront them.

If you don't put out the fire—

Xia Qingtong glanced at the field behind him, behind the small courtyard, and after the field, it was Yushan.

If they break out of the window from behind, even though there is cover by night. But there is no guarantee that they will not find out where they are.

Looking at the calmness on Ming Yue's face, Xia Qingtong was worried for the first time.

In times of crisis, even if the system is unreliable, she has a glimmer of hope.

- System, I would like to ask if there are any replaceable items such as heat insulation and fire extinguishing?

[I can't change it.] 】

Xia Qingtong: ...... Why? If you don't let me change things, do you watch me burn to death?

[The host level is too low, and it can't be exchanged for things in different planes for the time being.] 】

- Can't you teleport us away from here?

[System: Please understand that the system is not omnipotent.] 】

Xia Qingtong: ......

[System: I reminded the host early on and asked you to reach 50,000 points as soon as possible. Host, please keep up the good work. The higher the points, the higher the authority. 】

Xia Qingtong: ......

Looking out the window, it was cold and dry, and the heat outside had burned to the firewood stack by the courtyard wall.

"Sixth Prince, what are you going to do now?"

"Run." Ming Yue glanced at her, his expression still calm: "Do you believe me?" ”

“…… Letter. At times like these, it is impossible not to believe.

"Let's go, then."

Walk?

Xia Qingtong didn't react to what he meant by leaving, but he saw that Qingye had already opened the window at the back of the house.

One turned over, and the figure of the blue night disappeared into the night.

He went out to explore the way, and Ming Yue jumped out of the window with her. Xia Qingtong flew in the air like this for the first time in his life, and the feeling of weightlessness in his body was not particularly good.

But after getting used to it, I just felt that it would be windy.

took the time to look behind him, and Chai Jiu and Red Sakura also came out.

Xia Qingtong breathed a sigh of relief, Ming Yue's light skills seemed to be excellent, and with a tap of his toes on the tree, he could leap far forward.

Unexpectedly, in her lifetime, she would also see such a scene?

Before he had time to praise Mingyue a few words, a sighing voice sounded behind him.

She was half-hugged by Ming Yue, just enough to look behind. I saw countless arrows lit by fire, flying in their direction together.

I'll go.

Xia Qingtong's eyes widened, I didn't expect those people to be so ruthless?

It's really a rhythm to kill everything.

Ming Yue's toes touched the branches of the tree and seemed to fly faster. However, the sharp arrows behind them were already coming in their direction.

"Be careful."

Xia Qingtong saw that the arrow was getting closer and closer to him, getting closer and closer, and couldn't help but remind him.
