Chapter Eighty-Seven: Coldness and Tenderness
The man in black put his sword against Shen Yue'e's neck and looked coldly at the guards who surrounded him.
The guards couldn't help but look at each other, and finally had to turn their heads to look at Xuanyun.
"Tskβjust a little bit."
Xuan Yun shook his head and looked at Shen Yue'e regretfully: "Miss Shen, you didn't show up early or late, why did you choose such a critical moment to appear?" Do you know that because of such a knife hanging around the neck of this son all the time, this son has not slept well for several days! β
"Tell them to get out of the way, or I'll drag her to death with me." The man in black spoke in a flat voice.
"Cousin, save me!" Shen Yue'e was so frightened that her body trembled, and she couldn't hold back her tears: "I don't want to die yet." β
Sanniang frowned and looked at Shen Yue'e and the man in black, and she was also very anxious in her heart.
Xuanyun took a few people to hang out in Ziyang City for a morning, and deliberately let the girl go upstairs, and also set up an ambush on the opposite side, so he tossed in danger to obviously want to capture the assassin alive.
Now this assassin wants to escape by holding Shen Yue'e hostage, if the person in charge is her, she will naturally put the safety of people's lives first, but the person in charge is this unpredictable world. Originally, he thought that Xuan Yun was the one who took pity on the fragrance and cherished the jade, but just now he kicked the girl away without hesitation, and he was ruthless without any pity, so it is really difficult to say whether Xuan Yun will let go of this assassin for the sake of a Shen Yue.
"Tsk - this is really embarrassing for this world." Xuanyun's flower-like face was almost tangled, but its beauty was not diminished at all.
"Miss Wang San, what do you say this son should do?" Xuanyun suddenly looked at Sanniang in distress.
Sanniang didn't think that Xuan Yun was really asking for her opinion, so she only stared at the sword in the assassin's hand, for fear that she would kill Shen Yue'e with a shake of her hand. It is also owed to Xuanyun at a glance.
"Shizi, save me!" Shen Yue'e finally remembered who was in charge here. I couldn't help but cry and plead.
"Shizi, human life is at stake, and saving people is important." Su Chengzhi also frowned.
Xuan Yun was silent for a moment, as if he was thinking about whether to save people, and finally he shook his head and sighed: "This son has always been pitiful and cherishes jade, Miss Shen is such a flower-like beauty, this son really can't bear to watch her blood splashed on the spot like this, this is too spoiling." β
Everyone couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
"However, this son thought about it again. Miss Shen, your life is more precious than that of this world. And this assassin is extremely vicious and kills people like hemp, if this son of the world lets him go this time, he will go to harm more beauties. Isn't that the son of this world also guilty of great sins? β
Xuan Yun looked at Shen Yue. His eyes were so soft that he seemed to be dripping water, and there was a light smile on the corner of his mouth: "Miss Shen, there is a saying in Buddhism: I don't go to hell." Who goes to hell! Girl, you are a believer in Buddhism, and you must agree with this. β
Sanniang's heart was extremely cold when she heard this.
Shen Yue'e was so frightened that her body weakened, and her neck leaned towards the blade of the sword in the black-clothed man's hand, and the sharp blade slashed across Shen Yue'e's originally long and graceful neck, and the bright red blood instantly dyed Shen Yue'e's collar red.
"Cousin." Shen Yue's face turned pale and she almost fainted. muttered.
Sanniang noticed that the black-clothed man's hand holding the sword had not moved for half a minute, and she actually watched Shen Yue'e hit his sword. didn't care about it at all, Sanniang knew that in the eyes of the man in black, Shen Yue's life was like an ant at all.
Sanniang turned her head to look at Xuanyun, and saw that his eyes were not shaken for a minute, but Sanniang saw a cold thing on his face that still had a bewitching smile, speaking of which, he was the same person as the black-clothed assassin, and regarded the people like grass tips.
Xuanyun slowly raised his hand, as if he wanted to give orders to the archers on the opposite side and several guards in the room.
"Miss Shen, do you have any other wishes? This son can do it for you. Xuan Yun smiled nonchalantly.
I don't know if it's because of Xuanyun's words, or because the pain reminded Shen Yue'e that she was really not far from death, Shen Yue'e didn't tremble so much, although her face was pale and her eyes were desperate, she still trembled her lips and said, "My mother, she's ...... She ......"
Sanniang saw that Shen Yue'e couldn't say complete words, but at the last moment, it was her mother who scrupled, and couldn't help but be a little moved, and inadvertently glanced at the man in black, but saw his eyes swept over Chen Xiaomei, although it was a brief glance, but Sanniang still strangely saw a trace of tenderness and reluctance from his originally cold eyes.
Sanniang's heart moved.
Letting go of Wei Yunying, who was in her arms, Sanniang took two steps forward, looked at Shen Yue'e with sadness in her eyes and said, "Yue'e, I will help you take care of Aunt Xiu, you ......"
Everyone thought that Sanniang wanted to say goodbye to Shen Yue, but they didn't notice anything wrong.
Sanniang happened to walk behind Chen Xiaomei at this time, took advantage of the unpreparedness, quickly hooked Chen Xiaomei's neck and dragged her over, and immediately pulled the person to retreat to the wall, reached out and took the copper drill used to pick up the incense ashes, six or seven inches long with a small wooden handle, from the table used to place the incense burner against the wall, and inserted it into Chen Xiaomei's ear.
This change was something that no one in the room expected, and when they saw this scene, they couldn't help but be stunned, and Xuanyun couldn't help but put down his raised hand and turned to look at it.
"Wang San, what are you doing here?" Su Chengzhi stared at Sanniang in disbelief with round eyes, and Sanniang saw such a rich expression from her face that was always a little stiff for the first time.
Su Minzhi's star eyes were inserted in Sanniang's hand, and he raised his eyebrows.
Xuanyun was only stunned for a moment before fixing his eyes on Sanniang, and looked at her from head to toe several times, as if he felt that a person who usually saw the sky suddenly grew a tail in front of him today, and the interest in his eyes was not concealed at all.
"Heh, what's going on today? None of you know how to pity the fragrance and cherish the jade? After looking at it, Xuanyun shook his head and said regretfully, as if everyone else was doing something tasteless about cooking cranes and burning the qin, but there was a faint excitement on his face.
"Miss Wang San, let's make a bet! I was reluctant to let the Assassin go to save your cousin, so do you think I'll let the Assassin go and rescue your cousin for the sake of my heart? If you answer correctly, there will be a reward for this son. β
"Master." Chen Xiaomei looked at Xuanyun and called in a trembling voice.
"Shhhhh β
Sanniang didn't look at Xuan Yun, but fixed her eyes on the black-clothed assassin.
"The prince's bet Sanniang didn't dare to fight, and Sanniang never thought of threatening the prince." Although Sanniang said this to Xuan Yun, she kept observing the assassin's expression. Although his face was covered, there was surprise and panic in the assassin's eyes.
Sanniang secretly breathed a sigh of relief in her heart.
"I've heard that a sharp weapon can kill you if you pass through your ears, but I don't know if it's true. This chivalrous man, you have killed countless people, have you ever tried? Sanniang said lightly.
Everyone was shocked and stunned when they heard this, and they all looked at Sanniang and the man in black back and forth, not knowing what the situation was.
Xuanyun's eyes flashed, and he only stared at Sanniang thoughtfully.
"I don't know." The man in black spoke, his voice a little dry.
Sanniang nodded: "You must not use this trick, because if you stab it like this......" Sanniang gestured and pushed the copper drill into Chen Xiaomei's ear: "It is also possible that you will not die." Someone once tried, but the result became deaf and stupid, and he couldn't survive and die. β
The black-clothed man's pupils shrank, and his Adam's apple moved.
"I have no grievances with Miss Chen, and I don't want to hurt her, but the one in your hand is my cousin. When I took her out today, my grandmother, who was sick in bed, told me again and again that I should take good care of her, and if I let her die here today, I am afraid that I will not be able to go back and explain to my elders. Sanniang looked at the man in black, her eyes were very indifferent.
"How about this, you let my cousin go, and Miss Chen doesn't have to die or be half-dead?"
"She is the favorite concubine of the prince, what does it have to do with me." The man in black made his voice sound cold.
Sanniang said as if she hadn't heard it: "You see, the prince is unwilling to let the tiger return to the mountain, these guards may not even be able to beat you, but there is an archer ambush on the opposite side." If you look at the east window again, from here it is a flat shop, and there are few pedestrians, it is difficult to hide your whereabouts, but you know that the prince did not lay a net between these houses, just waiting for you to enter the urn? Even if you escape from this area and get to the canal horse head in front of you, with the arrangement you saw the prince just now, how can there be no one on the dock? You're dead. β
There was silence in the room.
"I can't kill myself." The man in black was silent for a moment, but he lowered his eyes.
When Sanniang heard this, she thought about it, what he meant by this was that he didn't want Xuanyun to be captured alive, but he couldn't kill himself?
"You're from the Garin?" Shen Minzhi said suddenly.
The man in black was silent.
"The Garings are a small tribe in Northern Mongolia, and their people are not allowed to cut themselves, as that would offend their gods." Su Chengzhi explained.
Mongolia? Sanniang was stunned and looked at Xuanyun. No wonder he refused to let go of this assassin, it turned out to be related to a border dispute?
Sanniang pondered for a moment and said, "Anyway, you can't escape, and you can't die if you want to, why drag the two girls to bury you?" β
The man in black looked at Chen Xiaomei, whose face was pale and pale, and finally closed his eyes and put down the sword in his hand.
With a "ding", the three-foot long sword fell to the ground, but Sanniang's heart seemed to be knocked out, and she shrank a little.
Looking at Shen Yue, who was so soft on the ground, Sanniang was not pity in her heart, but bored, and even a little disgusted with her actions. (To be continued.)
