Everyone immediately became nervous.

The reason for the nervousness is not only because of the rumors.

The girl on the right hand side of the front, which should be Xiangxiang, slowly took out an inconspicuous knife from her arms.

The knife wasn't big.

It is not called a scabbard, and the blade is only the length of a general carving knife.

But nine times out of ten, that's ......

“…… Sword? ”

"That's right, big brother. If you plan to bully us together, we'll use this thing to attack Sister Yaya. Only attacked Sister Ye Ya alone. Isn't that right, Sasha? ”

"That's right, Xiangxiang. I don't know how long Sister Ye Ya can last? How many people will be sacrificed before killing us? I'm looking forward to it. ”

Such an arrangement is not so much cunning as sinister.

To put it bluntly, Ye Chun is trying to force us to make a choice here.

First, he did not hesitate to put Ye Ya in danger, but still insisted that everyone go to Ye Chun to fight together.

Second, the troops are divided into two ways in order to avoid risks.

Such a choice is simply vexatious and staggering.

If the former is chosen, even if no one is sacrificed, it will definitely cause a huge consumption to all employees. Having said that, if the latter is chosen, the combat power of the finding side will indeed be weakened. After all, only Anai knows how to get to the Lost House. Those who were left behind would inevitably not be able to reach the lost home where Ye Yachun was.

──What should I do?

Fighting twins is a danger in itself. Since the opponent has a fragment of the sword, he only needs to inflict minor abrasions to kill his man. Xia Jing instantly thought of a way that could actually allow Ye Ya, the key person on our side, to hide under the umbrella of the glass enchantment, but Ye Ya would definitely not be able to accept such an approach. She didn't have the boring interest of hiding alone in a safe zone and watching her companions die.

Moreover, it is not certain whether the other party really only locked on Ye Ya to attack alone. It could also be a big hit. If the opponent switches the attack target to someone else after setting up the formation with Ye Ya as the center...... Ye Chun's arrangement is tantamount to forcing them to measure the value of their lives.

For Ye Chun, the twins may be like abandoned children, even if she dies, she will not be in pain. On the other hand, we do not allow anyone to die in battle, nor do we want anyone to die in battle.

Ye Chun grasped this weakness.

Lin Yu endured his anger and pretended to inadvertently turn his gaze to Lan Yang.

Lan Yang, who noticed the sight, also looked at her and nodded slightly.

Both of them had the same thing on their minds.

「…… Sister Ye Ya, Brother Xia Jing."

Therefore, Lin Yu volunteered to Ye Ya and the others, "I'll leave it to me and Sister Lanyang here."

"Lin Yu, what are you talking about......

"I mean, the ridiculous twins are up to the two of us."

"Hey, you two slow down."

Xia Jing interrupted from the side.

This human being is really in the way—Lin Yu thought to himself with deep feelings.

The nosy personality is really annoying. And the annoying thing is that he obviously always treats me like a child. Seriously, I can't forgive him for suddenly appearing out of nowhere and snatching Sister Yaya.

That's it from the first meeting.

It was a nagging lecture, a birthday present, and he blamed me for not warning him for killing Qiu Yin by mistake, but he never blamed me for it.

- Ah, yes.

It's just a human being. Worthless human beings. Obviously, I hate humans so much.

Why do I like him so much?

"Shut up, you gutsless four-eyed chicken."

"Who's the guts of the four-eyed pheasant!"

"I'm talking about you. And didn't you hear me telling you to shut up?"

「…… Woo......!"

"Sister Ya."

Lin Yu ignored Xia Jingling, who was so angry, that he knelt down in front of Ye Ya.

"Summer view."

Seeing this, Lan Yang also did the same, kneeling in front of Xia Jing.

Obviously he didn't say it in advance, but Lan Yang was able to cooperate with him seamlessly, this person was indeed trustworthy - Lin Yu thought to himself with a smile on his face.

We are Lin Yu and Lan Yang.

Can you take responsibility for advancing your mission...... Leave it to the two of us?"

Not as the guardian of the family.

Not as the head of a separate family.

Lin Yu and Lan Yang both knelt down to Ye Ya and Xia Jing from a personal standpoint. To the patriarch with whom he identifies

After a moment, Ye Ya sighed and replied with a wry smile, "...... You two are too despicable, aren't you? How could I refuse to ask for my life in this way."

Xia Jing didn't laugh.

He scratched his scalp and squatted down

"Sister, and stupid girls...... You two must not die."

Lan Yang raised his face.

"Xia Jing, you also have to be careful and safe."

Lin Yu frowned at Lin Yu.

"How dare you call me a stupid girl, and I'll make you regret your spiky tongue later."

The two stood up from the ground.

Then he turned to face the twins, who were watching the scene with relish.

「…… I've kept you waiting, Xiangxiang, Sasha."

This situation can be said to be exactly what Lin Yu wants.

The last time they deliberately released the water, the account that played her around has not been counted. And it's all about fighting, and there's nothing wrong with using this battle to sacrifice to the gods—although I'm not sure that the murderers of Adai are them, but let's just take it as a vent of anger.

After Anye, Ye Ya, and Xia Jing glanced at Lin Yu and Lan Yang, they turned around and left with Anai's footsteps. The twins had no intention of chasing them. It seems that they really want to accompany Lin Yu and them.

There's not much more to say about it now. Both parties are convinced that they will be able to meet again alive after that. Therefore, Lin Yu and Lan Yang were the same, just silently watching Ye Ya and the others leave.

A thought suddenly appeared in Lin Yu's mind.

I wish I could use Anai's knee as a pillow again, even once.

Lin Yu shook his head to drive that thought out of his mind, and at the same time confirmed that Lan Yang on the side had taken out his weapon, and then showed a grinning expression to the enemy in front of him.

Anyway, it's not a life or death.

As long as you defeat the twins, overthrow Ye Chun, and recapture the "Lost House" and Anai, you can wait until next spring to ask them to throw a birthday party for themselves.

Lin Yu pursed his mouth into a straight line and reported his name.

"I am Lin Yu......"

"I'm Lan Yang."

"We've come to fight. Prepare to die!"

The twins met Lin Yu's gaze head-on and jumped off the rock together.

"It's on, Sasha."

"Uh-huh, Xiangxiang."

The smiles on their faces vanished.

I saw them take out the weapons behind them at the same time, and put on a symmetrical posture.

"The family accepts the challenge." 」

Lin Yu, Lan Yang, Sasha, Xiangxiang.

A two-on-two duel unfolded on the banks of the stream

Behind the group, the sound of swords wielding swords sounded behind them, and they continued to climb up the mountain road.

Today's battle will evolve into the current situation, and Anno had a vague premonition before. And it was a very ominous premonition, not a good thing.

Her predictions, of course, are not based on concrete ground. It's just a very indifferent and unsettling feeling.

To put it bluntly, she was worried that the situation would turn into a situation where she could not use her strength.

The weapons that Anno carries can be said to be a special treasure for the guards.

The disadvantage is that the attack does not distinguish between friend and foe, and everyone who does not cover their ears will suffer.

Of course, there was a lot of discussion before the departure. The code to cover your ears has also been decided, and everyone has brought a small Walkman and headphones.

However, such preparations are still not foolproof. The thought that if it was his mother who handled the situation, he would definitely be able to handle it more perfectly, and Anno felt that he was very useless.

In the past half a month, Anye has always regretted it.

If only my mother had been asked for advice when she was still alive. My father was the same, and he had a lot of questions to ask him. There were too many questions to ask them – not just about the battle.

Perhaps, the time has come to settle the score.

oscillating between humans and deer people, living a half-tone life; There are also those who take their parents' health for granted, and have always treated themselves as children and refuse to take charge of the accounts alone.

When he heard Ye Chun's rumors from the mouths of the twins, Anye's heart also quietly thought about these things.

And then, here and now

The time to settle accounts is not "maybe" but "real".

When he saw the figure that appeared in front of the group, Anno was even more convinced.

They were separated from Lin Yu for about ten minutes.

Halfway up the mountain, where the trees are lush and green, the word forest could not be more appropriate

Nangong leaned against the trunk of the tree, quietly waiting for the group to appear.

「…… Giggle."

After glancing at Ye Ya, Xia Jing, and An Ye in turn, she sneered, "You have come all the way to send you to death, it's really hard for you. And son-in-law...... Welcome to the city. I welcome you from the bottom of my heart."

Nangong's tone was sarcastic, and his attitude seemed to be humble, but in fact he was rude.

Ye Ya stood in front of Xia Jing and Anye, exuding a terrifying momentum.

"I thought you would be right next to Ye Chun."

"I don't take that much care for her."

Nangong dealt with Ye Ya's gaze with a calm and unhurried attitude.

Then, she said what Anno had expected

"My mission is the same as the previous twins. How do you choose? Are three people teaming up together? Still is...... Leave one of them behind?"

Seeing that Nangong's gaze was obviously on his body, An Ye gritted his teeth unwillingly.

"Are you kidding?"

Xia Jing refuted it as if he couldn't agree.

"Regardless of the previous twins, it's three to one now. Is there a better option than the three of us to beat you up together? On the contrary, you are more stupid to jump out and beg for a beating."

Ahhhh

Anno silently sighed in his heart.

What kind of result will be caused by the three of them attacking in a row, does Xia Jing know it?

He must have known it. He's just playing dumb on purpose now.

Otherwise

"Hurry up and let the horses come. By the way, how many times have you been defeated by me?"

Otherwise, he would not have provoked in such a superficial way

「…… Summer Scene."

So Anno grabbed Natsujing's shoulder.

"Anno? Hey......"

She glared at the bespectacled, bespectacled, backward face, then pushed him away and stood forward.

"You don't talk nonsense."

Even if according to what Xia Jing said, the three of them teamed up to fight Nangong one

At that time, Nangong will definitely move the rescue soldiers.

That person is the strongest thug of the Deer Clan, and he is also Ye Ya's relative and friend, and he has become Li Qi, who is a rope puppet.

In other words, it's actually a three-on-two, not a three-on-one.

And the other party will inevitably wait for the opportunity to sneak attack. Nangong will temporarily contain the three of them alone, and then Li Qi will launch a surprise attack from behind. At that time, we will not only not be able to get the sweetness to eat, but will also fall into a very unfavorable situation.

No matter how you choose, you will inevitably have to fight against Li Qi. In this case, there is a better chance of winning a head-on move. Instead of fighting with a state of fear, it is better to face it with a situation where you can concentrate on the central god to fight.

Xia Jing should also know this very well. It's impossible for this guy whose brain moves faster than anyone else to fail to notice what even I, the deer clan, could have expected, and what the deer clan had come up with.

However, he still insisted on provoking for only one reason.

"This blatant way of protecting me...... How can I be happy when I see it?"

Because he thinks that if I go head-to-head with Nangong one-on-one, I will definitely have no chance of winning.

Really, since you have to settle the account, it seems that this account will have to be settled together.

In the past, Xia Jing once said this to me:

- You must be a better woman.

Xia Jing and I are not boyfriend and girlfriend, and I don't feel any charm of the opposite sex from him.

But—that's why......

If only let the boys who look like buddies protect them. That would be detrimental to my woman's dignity.

"Cluck, cluck."

Listening to Anye's declaration, Nangong sneered.

"It's interesting, it's funny. It's so funny that it makes me so unpleasant. Anno ...... Have you ever taken a single victory from my hands when you were practicing martial arts?"

Nangong's words hit the nail on the head, and even Anye didn't think he had a chance of winning.

But how can words destroy one's own prestige?

"Oh, martial arts training and actual combat are two different things."

Yasuno bluffed while thinking about Natsu Jing behind him.

Not only did he not practice martial arts, but he was also a vulnerable human being. He, a high school student who knows nothing about martial arts, has repeatedly defeated the deer clan since the winter. With his trickery and lying skills, as well as his wit to adapt to the situation, he has fought against the overwhelming power of the deer clan to this day. It's only for now – I hope to draw a gourd and learn from him.

"It's decided, Ya, Xia Jing."

Yasuno turned his head and smiled.

Try to be as calm as possible so as not to make them feel uneasy.

"You go first. I'll take care of it here...... Don't worry, I won't lose. If I am killed by someone who has been Xia Jing's defeated commander twice, I will die without a blind eye."

"Hey, Anno! It's not a fuss......

"Who's messing with you?"

An Ye couldn't help but choke angrily at Xia Jing, who was still relieved.

"Good women should seize this opportunity to behave well...... Can you not be so ignorant?"

There was a brief silence.

I don't know how many seconds passed. After a while, a serious voice said:

"Okay."

Unexpectedly, it was Ye Ya who was the first to express his approval.

"Anno, I'll leave it to you here."

"Hey, but ......."

Ye Ya first stopped Xia Jinghuahua, and then stood in front of An Ye.

I saw that she suddenly grabbed Anye's collar. He hugged her like a hug.

「…… Yikes!"

At a close distance, Ye Ya solemnly admonished, "It's just that I will never allow you to die. If there is danger, you must flee."

「…… I see."

Yasuno nodded in agreement.

After Ye Ya let go of Anye, he took a step back.

Ye Ya's expression did not show the slightest uneasiness, and after she smiled faintly, she turned to face Nangong.

"Things are as you can see, Nangong. I'm going to have to go first...... You shouldn't go back on your word, will you?"

"Hmph."

Nangong seemed to scoff with disdain, only to see her pick up the wheel on the ground with one hand and wave it vigorously, as if she was threatening.
