Chapter 038: Attack on the Night
Ye Haochuan looked at Bi Xiao in a daze, and licked his lips until he saw Bi Xiao's hair, and said in a sullen voice: "If you want to say that others let you protect the Qinglian King, I can still accept it calmly, saying that it is the prince of Dingyuan Wang, no matter how you think about it, it feels strange, right?" Hasn't he always advocated getting rid of the enchantress? Every time, he and the four princes shouted the loudest. β
"It's said that she is not the King of Qinglian, but she looks the same and her name happens to be the same." Probably realizing that his words were not convincing, Bi Xiao sighed softly, "Senior Brother Wen may not have asked me to protect her out of trust, in fact, it is Senior Brother Wen who doubts Miss Yan's identity the most." It's a pity that I'm not as smart as Senior Brother Jun and them, and I can't guess what Senior Brother Wen is planning, but it's not a good thing for Miss Yan. β
Bi Xiao's distressed look aroused Ye Haochuan's impulse to think deeply, but after thinking about it for less than a moment, he shook his head again and again with a depressed face: "No, I can't figure it out either, I'm not all the way with them." β
"Who told you to think? You just need to fight and kill the enemy and protect yourself, and the struggle for power has nothing to do with you. Because of your simplicity and sincerity, I am willing to hand over my sister to you, if you are as shrewd and cunning as Senior Brother Wen and Senior Brother Jun, I don't have to worry about Bisheng's happiness in the future. β
When talking to Ye Haochuan, Bi Xiao had a somewhat playful tone, and the shrewd and serious Night General in front of the people also showed a simple and honest expression. The two chatted for a long time, and Bi Xiao suddenly patted his forehead and hurriedly walked out of the tent.
"I'm going to go to the village with Miss Yan, and come back before dark, you take care of Ling Xi."
Ye Haochuan wanted to stop Bi Xiao and say something, but when he saw her walking in a hurry, he had to swallow it back into his stomach. With a long sigh of relief, he returned to the sleeping night Ling Xi, and the young general didn't mind holding his sister's hand tightly, and suddenly showed a light smile: "Ling Xi, when the eldest brother marries a wife, I'll find you a wishful husband, okay?" It doesn't matter if you disarm and return to the field in the future, and it doesn't matter if you don't go to war with troops again, as long as you're fine...... As long as you're okay, big brother will listen to your ......"
The soft voice seemed to be tinged with a little sadness, and the melancholy was blown away by the howling of the wind outside the tent, and when the wind rose, there was a soft sound of footsteps in the direction leading to the village, and it gradually drifted away.
There is no half of a figure to be seen in the dead and silent village, but there are many stumps and bones of poultry and livestock on the village road, or the white bones of the forest are exposed, or the flesh is blurry and disgusting, in short, there is nothing that can teach Bi Xiao not to frown after looking directly.
"Patients who have a seizure can't resist the urge to eat raw meat, and after eating raw meat, they can rest their condition and be more comfortable, but the next attack will be more intense and terrifying." Yan Liwu recalled what he had seen and heard in the past few days, and unconsciously clenched his palms, "They are still rational but it is difficult to restrain them, some people do not want to become like this and commit suicide in the early stage of the disease, such as Captain Du, who has a very good relationship with the night girl, was found killing himself in the camp tent yesterday. β
"The generals under General Night are all iron-clad real men, and I know many of them, including Captain Du, I really didn't expect that Yin and Yang would be separated forever after not seeing each other for a few months." Bi Xiao was slightly sad, and her tone couldn't help but be a little low.
"A few months ago? Do you see them often? I thought you only knew the Night General. β
Bi Xiao put away her frustration and chuckled: "We met when their brother and sister were still wandering around. Ling Xi and I have a very good relationship, Haochuan and Bisheng are enemies of each other, either Haochuan bullies Bisheng with strength, or Bisheng bullies Haochuan with sharp teeth. Later, Haochuan entered the army and was promoted step by step, and the contact between us was never broken, when I was fine, I often went to the barracks to see their brothers and sisters, either with Ling Xi, or listened to Haochuan tell stories on the battlefield, and naturally slowly got to know his subordinates. β
The change of title made Yan Liwei keenly aware of the intimate relationship between the two pairs of brothers and sisters and sisters, and he couldn't help but be a little curious while sighing: "Listening to you say this, the relationship between General Night and Bi Sheng should be good, right, so General Night should also know Wen Moqing, right?" But Wen Moqing told me that he was not familiar with General Night, could it be that he was a villain, and he minded the relationship between General Night and Bi Sheng? β
Bi Xiao stopped, looked at Yan Li in a daze, and then shook her head lightly: "Miss Yan only knows one and doesn't know the other." Although Senior Brother Wen has a marriage contract with Bi Sheng, he has no affection for Bi Sheng at all, but Haochuan likes Bi Sheng's girl very much. Four years ago, Haochuan mustered up the courage to ask Bi Sheng for marriage, Bi Sheng's heart was tied to Senior Brother Wen and naturally refused to agree, the princess was still there at that time, because she liked Bi Sheng, she took it upon herself to settle this family affair for her senior brother. β
"Then Wen Moqing was a hundred unwilling, and by the way, he was very dissatisfied with the night general who caused this result, so he said that he was not familiar with the night general? You're so careful. The words and worries supplemented the dog's bloody and complex emotional entanglements, and at the same time he suddenly realized that he took the opportunity to despise Wen Moqing.
"Roughly as Miss Yan said, the relationship between the three of them is quite a headache anyway. Senior Brother Wen is a weak person, and he is not interested in women at all, let alone Bi Sheng, even those more outstanding women have never been able to enter Senior Brother Wen's eyes - well, this is a bit absolute. As if thinking of something, Bi Xiao overturned the words he had just spoken, and there was a little confusion in his eyes, "There was a foreign woman who was praised by Senior Brother Wen before, and the relationship between the two was quite good, but unfortunately the woman suddenly disappeared without a trace, and this seemingly nonexistent relationship was terminated, now that I think about it, Senior Brother Wen looked at that person differently than he looked at others." β
The corners of his mouth twitched, and he didn't continue to ask.
It is already shocking to learn that there are women in the world who can make Wen Mo's heart move, and if you dig deeper, who knows what shocking anecdotes will be exposed? She doesn't want to know too much about Wen Moqing's past, in case she is regarded as "something else", she should be in dire straits after finally getting rid of suspicion.
The two chatted with each other, and soon walked to the depths of the village, where there were no lights or fire, and looking around through the dim sky of the evening, it was vaguely eerie.
"This is the center of the village, and there are still no people in sight, but have you noticed that there are many fewer livestock carcasses here than before?" The lantern was lit and the light was reflected under his feet, and there was nothing but sand on the flat ground.
Bi Xiao tilted his head and listened carefully, frowning slightly: "Listen, it seems that there is a sound of a dog barking." β
Dog barking? When the bodies of the dead are almost gnawed away, will there still be living creatures? Something was wrong, and he immediately silenced his worries, and listened with bated breath with Bi Xiao.
"Uh......h Woo......"
A dull bark came intermittently from the nearby hut, and it sounded like a dog's bark, but it was certainly not a happy dogβthe gloomy bark was more like a dog being enraged, and was about to burst out and bite someone.
"Would you like to go over and have a look?" Bi Xiao hesitated and asked softly.
"Of course you have to go, wouldn't it be strange if there were dogs alive and not eaten? Now nothing that can be negligently missed. Yan Liwu clenched the dagger that Bi Xiao lent her, and walked towards the wooden house without hesitation, not noticing the embarrassment in Bi Xiao's eyes.
Seeing Yan Liwu walking towards the wooden house alone, Bi Xiao took a deep breath and gritted his teeth to catch up, two slender figures walked side by side, and the not very bright lantern revealed a desolate white light, reflecting a cold and terrible person.
The barking of the dog became clearer and clearer, and the two of them involuntarily held their breath and slowed their steps, searching according to the intermittent sound, from the door of the wooden house to the wooden house, and then to the backyard of the wooden house, and finally stopped in front of the firewood room with the gate locked.
Bi Xiao glanced at Yan Liwu and signaled her to dodge, and she was about to break into the door, but who knew that Yan Liwu shook his head and disagreed, reached out and pulled the big iron lock, not moving at all, and then shifted his gaze to the small window nailed with a wooden plank on the side.
Because there were no other tools at hand, Yan Liwu casually picked up the short sword to pry the loose wooden nails on the wooden board, Bi Xiao looked distressed on the side - it was Huang Chengjian, a famous weapon forged by the master himself, she was usually reluctant to use it, and always kept and wiped it carefully, but she didn't expect it to become a tool for prying nails in Yan Liwu's hands......
"Alright."
In the distress, I could hear a whisper that was almost inaudible, and then the wooden planks creaked and rattled under the hard pull of Yan Liwu. Bi Xiao hurriedly stepped forward to help, and quickly removed all the wooden planks, revealing a two-foot square black lacquer window hole.
Without barriers, the barking of dogs is clearer.
There was no other sound after listening closely, and Yan Liwu lifted the lantern and peeked through the window into the firewood room, and what caught his eyes was first a pile of messy firewood, and then two dim green lights, a cloud of chaos.
Yan Li's worried heart let go slightly, and he breathed a long sigh of relief: "It's just a dog, probably because someone locked it in the firewood room to escape." I don't know how many days it was locked up, but if it's called like this, it must be starving. β
Yan Liwu doesn't hate animals, especially after a series of upheavals, she is full of sympathy for the dog left alone by her owner, and she doesn't want to go back to the door to unlock it.
Huang Chengjian's slamming slam on the door made a loud noise, which was doubly abrupt in the silence of the night. The dog didn't know if he was frightened, and suddenly he ran to the door and barked wildly, and even the door panel was pushed to shake, and Bi Xiao exclaimed violently, and the flower lost color and fell backwards, almost falling to the ground.
"What's wrong?" Yan Liwu hurriedly put down the sword to support Bi Xiao, seeing that her eyes were full of fear, even her eyes were a little red, and she gasped heshyly, "Are you afraid of dogs?" β
Bi Xiao's cheeks were slightly red, and she nodded lightly in shame.
The dogs in this time and space are not like those pet dogs that Yan Liwu is familiar with, all of them are yellow-skinned, fierce and abnormal, and it is completely reasonable for an elegant woman to be afraid of dogs, but Liwu did not laugh at Bi Xiao's thoughts, but stroked Bi Xiao's back to try to calm her emotions.
"It's indeed a fierce dog, the two of us may not be able to control it, it's better to go back to the camp first, anyway, it's already dark, and we can't find anything if we want to check."
Yan Liwu stuffed the lantern into Bi Xiao's hand, hoping that the faint light could bring her a little peace of mind, but instead of taking the lantern, Bi Xiao pushed it violently and pushed Yan Liwu out three steps away.
"Whew-"
After a sharp roar, an iron-clad arrow sank deep into the ground where Yan Liwu had just stood.
