Chapter 20: Fire to Fire

Wan Yan Xiao didn't dare to say what he thought in his heart, and Wan Yan Xiao was willing to worry about it at this time. If the assassin of General Sikong was just a vendetta, it would be much simpler. But what if the person who assassinated General Sikong was the enemy of Yingxue Country, and wanted to use General Sikong to provoke a war between the two countries, so as to reap the benefits of the fisherman? Just assassinating General Sikong may not have the effect he wants, if the other party knows Yan Yue's identity, the other party's target will definitely be Yan Yue!

Bringing Yan Yue to see the people of Xiuyuan Mountain, as Yan Yue said, is not only to make Yan Yue relax, but more importantly, Wan Yan Xiao found that Yan Yue has been in self-blame for the past three days, and there is a kind of escape from the world. After finishing Yan Xiao, he wanted to tell Yan Yue through the mouth of the cultivator that sometimes he had to dare to face it. It's just that Wan Yan Xiao didn't expect Yan Yue to be so smart, and after listening to the "cultivation" that the cultivators said and the life experience of the cultivators, he guessed his thoughts.

And that Yan Yue no longer paid attention to that Wan Yan Xiao, no matter whether that Wan Yan Xiao was too worried or not, Yan Yue didn't have the slightest idea of going back to the Darong Dynasty. After eating to her heart's content, Yan Yue was led to the resting place by a little monk. Because most of the temples were men, Yan Yue, as a woman, was rested alone in the west courtyard of the temple, and one person occupied a small courtyard and a few houses. After two lives, Yan Yue was not afraid of such a large space, but if she slept like this on such a beautiful night, Yan Yue felt very pity.

The moonlight on the mountain was rounder and brighter than usual, and the sky was light blue, and the stars seemed to be blinking right in front of them. Yan Yue walked in the small courtyard, which was full of green grass, and behind the courtyard there were a few irregular stones and a few stout old locust trees, the thick branches stretched out wantonly, and several branches stretched out outside the temple.

Yan Yue inexplicably felt a little naughty in her heart, and with a little force pulling the stretched tree, Yan Yue climbed onto the old branch by the courtyard wall. Lying on the thick branches, letting the branches and leaves of the tree cover all his body, playing with the flowing moonlight between his hands, remembering the hide and seek of his childhood. Yan Yue only felt playful for a while, and her mood was more relaxed than ever.

The wind blows gently, bringing an unknown dark fragrance that exalts people's hearts. There was silence all around, no noise, no strife, and the moonlight rippled like water waves, and the cool breeze swept through my heart. When she closed her eyes, Yan Yue actually fell asleep on the branch of the locust tree. It wasn't until the sound of soldiers intersecting in the distance that Yan Yue suddenly woke up. But when he saw the black shadow flashing in front of him, he shivered for a while, and a terrible thought immediately flashed in his mind. Immediately hugged his body tightly and held his breath, not daring to move.

Soon, the sound of weapons fighting around the courtyard was remembered again, and the temple was already brightly lit, and some people shouted "Catch the assassin!" Catch the Assassins! Yan Yue grabbed the tree pole tightly, holding her breath hard, and her heart almost clenched together. Just now, I felt that I was far away from the strife, and at this time I knew that the strife was still around. It turns out that there are some things that I really can't hide even if I want to.

"Burn down this house and yard, you guys stay outside, shoot as soon as you find someone, and don't let anyone escape!" You guys come with me over there! The stern command sounded, and a flash of fire flashed in front of him. Yan Yue stretched out her hand and touched her pocket, there were all kinds of poisons there, but Yan Yue, who had no martial arts, didn't dare to move at all, how could she have the opportunity to poison? The fire was lit, the heat hit, the figure passed by, and the shouting and killing in the distance became even more intense, if the guess was correct, then Wan Yan Xiao must have been besieged by the assassins.

The fire is getting bigger and bigger, the flames are soaring into the sky, and even the sky is dyed red, and what is even more terrifying is the thick smoke, which choked Yan Yue's mouth and almost suffocated, but she didn't dare to make any sound. You can't go out, you can't just wait for the fire to reach where you're hiding, you can't choke...... Yan Yue thought quickly, and her eyes finally fell on the stones in the backyard.

There is something different about the stones, and I don't know what I wanted to build them into an arch. But only half of it was done, and it was abandoned there. Yan Yue climbed down the tree quickly and lightly, but fortunately, at this time, the fire in the house and the small courtyard was burning and crackling, and the assassins only cared about guarding outside the small courtyard, and An Neng remembered that there were actually people in the small courtyard. And Yan Yue, who climbed down the tree, breathed and moved a big stone and the arched stone together to form a stone cave, just moving a big stone, but under the baking of the fire, Yan Yue was already sweating. Fortunately, Yan Yue is petite, and a stone cave formed by a stone block is enough for Yan Yue to drill into. Then Yan Yue picked up a branch that was on fire and lit the stone first, waiting for the fire to burn. Yan Yue quickly burrowed into the stone cave and lay on the ground.

Yan Yue's idea is very simple, if she lies in any place, the fire will always burn towards her. It's better to set fire to your place first, then the fire will burn farther and farther. By the time the fire burned in the distance, it was completely extinguished, and this method was to make fire out of fire. In addition, when the fire burns, the high-temperature soot will float in the air, and there is relatively little ground, so lying on the ground can avoid choking to death by the smoke.

The fire turned the sky red. Not only the small courtyard where Yan Yue lived, but even the entire temple was burned to ashes in this firelight. Yan Yue's entire face was on the ground, although she was not choked by the smoke, she could still feel the scorching sensation of being grilled by the fire through the stone. Of course, hiding in this stone cave, Yan Yue didn't hear the sound of fierce fighting outside.

"Miss Yan, where are you?" Wan Yan Xiao's nervous voice was shouting. Yan Yue looked up from the stone cave in disbelief.

"Miss Yan, where are you?" This time, Yan Yue was obviously trembling when she heard Yan Xiao's voice, and saw a black shadow running around in a panic among the ashes. Yan Yue was overjoyed in her heart, and immediately answered loudly, "I'm here", and then crawled out of the stone cave. Wan Yan Xiao ran over in ecstasy, almost couldn't believe his eyes, glared at Yan Yueniang for a moment, and was overjoyed to hold Yan Yue in his arms.

This action was a bit overstepping, but the excitement after escaping death made Yan Yue not push away the warm embrace for a while, but Yan Yue never thought that although this sentence led Yan Xiao here, it also led all the enemies here. As soon as Yan Yue's voice fell, several people in black had already rushed towards Wan Yan Xiao and Yan Yue. It seems that these black-clothed people deliberately let Wan Yan Xiao come to find Yan Yue, and they will catch them all again.

"Let's go!" After Yan Xiao's words reached Yan Yue's ears, Yan Yue's whole person had already risen into the air. It turned out that he had carried Yan Yue on his back and quickly performed light skills and flew away from the small courtyard. It's just that how could the other party easily let go of the two, there were two people who jumped a few times to directly block the way, and a few people quickly approached the two.

Wan Yan Xiao didn't dare to fight, but he was forced to return to the same place after several evasions. But I heard Yan Yue's voice ringing softly in my ears: "Even if you get close to them, don't do anything but dodge, remember to hold your breath when I poison them!" After that, Yan Xiao calmed down a little, and rushed forward with all his strength again. And the two people in front of them quickly stopped up again, seeing that the two were getting closer and closer, the poisonous powder in Yan Yue's hand had been sprinkled towards the two people.

Wan Yan Xiao quickly retreated again, as if to avoid the attack of the two men. It's just that this dodge made Wan Yanxiao fall into the encirclement of the few people behind. Those few people were very proud, they didn't notice the strangeness of the two people in front of them at all, and surrounded Wan Yan Xiao and Yan Yue. When the distance was getting closer and closer, Yan Yue shot again, only to smell a faint fragrance suddenly coming from the air, and those people realized something was wrong.

"Beware of poison powder!" A man reminded loudly. It's just that it's too late to remind at this time, and everyone has more or less inhaled a lot of poisonous powder. Then, in the midst of thinking about what kind of poison this could be, they fell to the ground one after another.

"Miss Yan is really at stake!" Wan Yan Xiao admired it, and then rushed to the bottom of the mountain with Yan Yue on his shoulder. Of course, in this case, I still didn't forget to explain to Yan Yue that there were too many opponents, and I couldn't let Yan Yue rush by herself, so I could only offend Yan Yue on my back. The thoughts of the ancients really made Yan Yue disagree, in such a dangerous situation, he was tired enough to flee behind his back, just because men and women were not kissed, he had to keep saying "offended" to himself, which had to make Yan Yue feel extremely funny.

"You really offended this girl, where did you attract so many assassins, and even this girl was almost killed." Yan Yue forgot the panic just now, and laughed and teased loudly. Wan Yan Xiao wanted to say something, but he stumbled under his feet, never said anything again, and put all his thoughts on running away. After a long time, he sighed and said: "You have really wronged this king, this king really does not have the ability to attract so many assassins, it seems that this king's worries are still right!" ”

Obviously, the other party was coming at Yan Yue, and there were only six or seven people who besieged Yan Xiao's courtyard, and there were more than ten people besieging Yan Yue's courtyard, and the fire attack was the first to start from Yan Yue's courtyard. In this way, it is clear which is more important and which is more important. Yan Yue was shocked again, but she also knew that what Yan Xiao said was the truth. The assassination of General Sikong was not accidental, even he actually became the target of the other party! It seems that there are some things that you can't hide even if you want to.

"In this way, I have caused you to be troubled? It hurt you to be almost assassinated, and it hurt you to carry me down the mountain overnight. Yan Yue said depressedly, and casually grabbed Yan Xiao's neck, for fear that Yan Xiao would throw herself down in anger.

"The king likes this kind of involvement. What's more, their current goal is you, and the main target is still Yingxue Country. After Yan Xiao's first sentence, his voice was so light that even Yan Yue couldn't hear what he was talking about. Even so, Yan Yue knew very well that from the day General Sikong appeared, he was once again involved in the murderous and dangerous struggle of Naer's deceitful calculations.
