Chapter Seventy-Four: The Siege

Ye Lan'er was scorched by the thunder.

Knowing such an important thing and finding someone who has been looking for more than ten years, shouldn't the first reaction be shock, or joy, or excitement?

Was this Xing Tian's reflex arc tied with a bow by someone, so strange?

However, what Xing Tian said was right, Ye Xiaotian was his apprentice, and if he called him master again, it would be a bit chaotic......

Xing Tian didn't doubt the truth of what Ye Lan'er said at all, but it took him a moment of effort, and he was extremely sure that the person in front of him must be Ye Xiaodie.

He took Ye Lan'er's hand with some excitement and looked up and down as if he had seen her for the first time.

Finally, a little like an old man, he began to chatter: "The first time I saw you, I felt very eye-catching." And your subsequent series of performances show that you are by no means an ordinary woman, and sure enough, you are the blood and blood of Ye Xiaotian, the king of the southwest. It's the flesh and blood of Xiaotian! Hahahaha!

Your mother was the daughter of Ling Tianyin, the head of the Shadowless Sect back then, and a martial arts wizard...... My skills are very appropriate for you to be the heir! Hahaha! ”

Ye Lan'er interrupted him: "Xing Tian, pay attention to seniority." How could I be your disciple...... Hmph"

Ye Lan'er retaliated with a tooth for a tooth.

Xing Tian still smiled: "As long as you don't call me master, it's still okay to learn skills." Kindness...... Otherwise, you can call me grandpa! ”

After thinking about it, I felt inappropriate: "No, calling grandpa makes me look too old." Forget it, you still call me Xing Tian! When you get to the official road, you follow me and go to the Valley of the Evil King together! ”

Ye Lan'er shook her head: "Xing Tian, I can't go back with you." ”

"Why?"

"I promised Jing Haoyang to accompany him to the capital."

At the mention of Jing Haoyang, Xing Tian's face changed significantly: "He...... If you don't stay in Yunlan Country, why do you want to go to the capital? ”

Ye Lan'er explained what happened to Xing Tian one by one, and finally added: "He has taken care of me all the way, I can't bear to abandon him like this when he is in danger......"

Xing Tian nodded and was silent for a long time: "In that case, I will accompany you." ”

Ye Lan'er was unexpectedly surprised: "Xing Tian! Are you serious! ”

If there is a master like the Evil King Valley Lord who walks all the way, then the danger factor will be greatly reduced.

Xing Tian: "That's nature! ”

Ye Lan'er was so moved that she was about to cry: "Xing Tian, I didn't expect you to be so good to me!" She threw herself into the arms of the thin old man and expressed her gratitude.

Xing Tian stretched out his hand and patted her on the back, but the expression on his face was a little vague.

In this way, the group of three became partners.

Jing Haoyang thought that she helped her keep the valley master of the Evil King Valley, and she was very grateful to Ye Lan'er, and the more she looked at it, the more pleasing it became, and from time to time she showed some idiot smiles, which made Ye Lan'er get goosebumps.

Xing Tian had a cold face and a deep thought along the way.

After two days of continuing to drive forward, the small tails that followed behind him began to increase.

Xiao Qian's minions had obviously locked on to the target, and they did not hesitate because of Jing Haoyang's disguise.

The three of them decisively deviated from the official road, abandoned the car and rode, and on the way, Xing Tian continued to teach Ye Lan'er the arrangement of the five elements of Qimen Dunjia gossip, and Ye Lan'er used it to block the enemy's tracking several times.

One night, it suddenly rained heavily, and the horses neighed and refused to move forward.

When they were quite embarrassed, they found a ruined temple, and the three of them hid inside.

Along the way, everyone was discouraged, Ye Lan'er couldn't stand it, and ripped off the human skin mask on her face and threw it aside.

"It doesn't make a difference whether you wear this thing or not, I feel that those chasers are dogs at all, they don't look at their looks at all, they smell them!"

Looking at the pouring rain outside, Ye Lan'er looked around worriedly at this dilapidated temple, for fear that it was a dangerous house that would collapse and fall down when she fell asleep in the middle of the night.

In the middle of the temple sat a huge golden bodhisattva with a broken arm and a spider web between his head and the beams. But the bodhisattva's boundless smile of tolerance is still very contagious.

Ye Lan'er couldn't help but kneel on the dusty futon: "Bodhisattva bless, bless Jing Haoyang to arrive in the capital smoothly!" ”

Jing Haoyang had already lit a fire with dry firewood from the temple. Seeing a small group kneeling not far away, and hearing her heartfelt prayer, a gentle smile crossed her face.

His eyes, his smile, and even his every move these days were all watched by Xing Tian.

Xing Tian said coldly: "You two are not suitable. ”

Jing Haoyang didn't expect Xing Tian to suddenly say this, and covered up with some embarrassment: "I don't know what you're talking about, senior. ”

Xing Tian's eyes reflected the dancing flames: "Lan'er, she is a son and daughter of the rivers and lakes, she has no power, no power, and no prominent identity background. And you are the crown prince of Yunlan Kingdom and the future king of Yunlan Kingdom. You two are not suitable. ”

Jing Haoyang was aroused for some reason: "But I want to say that I don't care?" ”

Xing Tian shook his head: "Of course you can say that you don't care." No one can even prove that you care about this later. Because nothing is known, nothing has ever happened. However, the oath is the weakest and the palest. On the contrary, reality is the cruelest and most domineering. I heard that you went to the capital this time to ask Emperor Xia Xian to marry the tenth princess to you. ”

Jing Haoyang was stunned at first, and then so ashamed that he stopped talking, silently fiddling with the fire on the ground.

Ye Lan'er is a son and daughter of the rivers and lakes, and she is a royal family of the court.

The royal family can have concubines and concubines, but the children of the rivers and lakes have always been monogamous.

This is also the reason why Xing Tian pointed out this point in the first sentence.

Jing Haoyang knows what he wants to do, and he will never change in the slightest because of his children's affection, but he ......

He looked at the face of the girl, who was becoming more and more beautiful in the light of the fire, and lost his mind.

I only heard Xing Tian say faintly on the side: "This is also for your good." ”

After Ye Lan'er finished praying, she took off her coat in public without hesitation, found a wooden stick to pick it up, and baked it with a fire.

She looked at Xing Tian from time to time, and then at Jing Haoyang. I always felt that there seemed to be something wrong with Xing Tian.

I found that along the way, Xing Tian's eyes would always fall on Jing Haoyang. It's not a generous look, but a sneaky look.

Regarding Jing Haoyang's plan, the details of his acquaintance with him and getting along with him are always inquiring from the side.

Ye Lan'er even felt that the reason why Xing Tian would go all the way was not so much for himself, but for Jing Haoyang.

However, when they met for the first time, if it weren't for a prompt, Jing Haoyang wouldn't have recognized Xing Tian at all, and Xing Tian didn't look like he had seen Jing Haoyang a long time ago.

What can be the relationship between these two people, who have only just met?

The sound of rain outside the broken temple is like thousands of troops, and there is thunder and roar from time to time, which makes people uneasy.

I chewed a few bites of hard bread and drank some cold water. Ye Lan'er was lying on a pile of dry straw and couldn't sleep.

Xing Tian also lay down, and almost at the same time as he lay down, he realized that something was wrong.

"Oh no, there's a chaser coming!"

Jing Haoyang also hurriedly lay on the ground, bowed his head to his ears, and frowned when he heard it.

He immediately jumped up from the ground, extinguished the remaining bonfire, and ran to the door of the ruined temple.

The rain is like a pillar, the night is as dark as a curtain, and nothing can be seen clearly.

But there was the neighing of horses on all sides, and the pursuers had clearly formed an encirclement, close at hand.

Ye Lan'er and Xing Tian also came to the gate of the broken temple at this time.

Xing Tian opened his mouth and asked, "How many people?" ”

Jing Haoyang frowned: "There are three or four hundred people, to say the least."

"I thought that they would suspend tracking in such a rainstorm, but I didn't expect these vampires to bite and refuse to let go!" Ye Lan'er stomped her feet, regretting that she didn't immediately brave the rain to arrange a suspicious formation after she landed, so that the pursuers could chase after her.

It's too late to remedy it.

Jing Haoyang raised his hand and took off the human skin mask on his face and threw it on the ground.

"Xiao Qian's minions, each of them is a master. They act in small teams of more than a dozen people, and they never assemble on a large scale. ”

Ye Lan'er also felt that there were too many people tonight.

Jing Haoyang continued: "In the past, I only knew that Xiao Qian often had a good relationship with the guards and officials on the border of the Great Xia Kingdom, and his friendship was quite deep. But I didn't expect that his power had extended here! ”

Hearing this, Ye Lan'er somewhat understood. No wonder Jing Haoyang didn't dare to ask the magistrate of the Great Xia Kingdom for help. It turned out that he was afraid that Xiao Qian would have opened the joint a long time ago, waiting for him to throw himself into the net.

Now, with so many troops besieged, maybe it was Xiao Gan who borrowed troops from the Great Xia Kingdom.

In the darkness, a ringing arrow burst through the air and nailed to the door frame of the ruined temple, clanging.

Jing Haoyang hurriedly closed the dilapidated door, turned around and pulled Ye Lan'er up, and said to Xing Tian: "Hide!" ”

As soon as he finished speaking, the arrows were as fine as weaving, like flying locusts, piercing through the dark rain curtain and piercing all into the dilapidated wooden door.

The three of them had nowhere to avoid it, so they had to hide behind the golden bodhisattva, and after watching the respite, the wooden door could no longer support the impact of the sharp arrow, and broke away from the door frame and fell to the ground.

Without any obstacles, the flying arrows scrambled into the ruined temple, stirring up dust everywhere they went.

It was too dark in the temple, and Ye Lan'er couldn't see clearly after getting used to it for a while.

She felt that the current situation was already a desperate situation, and looked at Xing Tian with some panic, but found that Xing Tian was staring at Jing Haoyang's face again, thoughtful.

Wave after wave of long-range attacks by the archers finally came to an end.

A high-pitched voice came through the rain and darkness: "Prince! This temple has been surrounded by layers, and you are now unable to fly! Xiao Shoufu said, please go to the house as a guest, don't hurt your life. But if you don't cooperate, you won't be in the right place!

If you know each other, you can walk out of this broken temple by yourself, and you will be caught! ”

Jing Hao Yang's beautiful face was covered with ice, and she was full of murderous aura.

He used his internal force and shouted back: "Wu Wei! What a good dog! I've been chasing Lao Tzu for so long, and today I finally talked to me, the world's most beautiful son, with a toad face, happy, right? However, you have that kind of honor, saying that you are a toad is a little disrespectful to toads, and I feel disgusting when I say these two words to you! Don't talk nonsense, if you have the ability, come and get me! ”

Before he finished speaking, Jing Haoyang had already picked up an arrow from the ground and threw it in the direction from which the previous voice came.

In a moment, there was a scream of "ah-" from outside the temple.

This was followed by the angry shout of Wu Wei: "Jing Hao Yang! Today next year will be your death day! ”
