Chapter 173: Flames
"I want to hear about it." Zhao Hu also wanted to hear what good methods this person had for saving Mo Jingli, and said cautiously.
The voices of the two people behind them were lowered, and Xiaolian couldn't hear what the two were discussing clearly, and after a while, Sunset pushed the door in, looked at Tian Yao, and left without saying anything.
Time flickered, it was night again, this time Xiaolian was arranged to wait outside the house, Xiaolian was a little strange in her heart, but she didn't think much about it, she was still very energetic when she sat at the door at first, and after a while, a faint smoke drifted in, Xiaolian began to feel that her eyelids were getting worse and worse, her mind was muddy, her head tilted, and she fell asleep.
At this time, the courtyard was very silent, and even the night watchmen who patrolled and walked around in the palace on weekdays were nowhere to be seen.
A black shadow sneaked into the courtyard silently at this time, tiptoed to Xiaolian's side first, tentatively poked Xiaolian gently, only to see Xiaolian's body crooked, and lay directly on the ground, then gently pushed open the door and walked in.
The room was dimly lit, but I could still see a person lying on the bed vaguely, the black shadow raised his arm, and in his hand was a big knife overflowing with cold light, slowly approaching the bed, and suddenly slashed at the figure on the bed.
Unexpectedly, there was no sound, the black shadow knife went down, loose and soft, couldn't cut down, as if cut on cotton, my heart immediately felt bad, I lifted the quilt and looked, it was clearly a pillow wrapped in a human shape, knowing the plan, I turned around and wanted to jump out of the window to escape.
"Where to go." With an angry shout, a figure broke through the window and immediately rushed towards the black shadow standing in the room, fighting with the black clothes crackling.
Outside the house, there were sudden shouts, torches dancing, and people were boiling, and it was obvious that the guards in the palace surrounded the house, and they all swarmed in, and the leader was Sunset.
"I'd like to see what kind of turtle this catches." Sunset was dressed in a strong suit, heroic and sassy, and said proudly, "General Zhao, let me have a few tricks with him." ”
And the person who was fighting with the assassins in the house was Zhao Hu.
Zhao Hu saw that the overall situation had been decided, and he was a little slower to make a move, and just wanted to speak, but there were two "whoosh" sounds, and he felt that there was a wind in his ears.
Zhao Hu immediately turned around to block without hesitation, only to hear the "jingle bell" twice, two darts fell, and then turned to look at the man in black just now, who had already disappeared.
"Alas! I didn't expect this assassin to have accomplices, careless. Zhao Hu said with annoyance.
"General Zhao doesn't have to blame himself, it's Sunset who didn't think about it in advance." Sunset said comfortingly.
At this time, Xiaolian, who had been in a coma, woke up in a daze and found herself lying on the ground, and she didn't react for a while: she was obviously guarding the door of the young lady's room before, how did she come to the corridor. Standing up, only to find that the door of Tian Yao's room was wide open, he immediately panicked, and ran into his young lady's room in three steps and two steps, only to see Zhao Hu and Sunset in the room, but Tian Yao was missing, and he was so frightened that he cried: "What happened?" Where's my young lady? Where's my young lady? ”
Zhao Hu saw that Xiaolian was scared like this, and hurriedly said: "Miss Xiaolian, don't worry, Tian Yao is fine, she is fine." ”
Xiaolian still trusts Zhao Hu very much, seeing that he said so surely, she put her mind at ease, looked left and right again, and asked, "This is my young lady's room, so where is my young lady?" ”
"Miss Xiaolian, don't worry, Tian Yao is in the room next door, very safe." Zhao Hu pointed to the side and said.
In Tian Yao's room.
After listening to Zhao Hu's explanation, Xiaolian realized that everything in front of her was Sunset's strategy, and she still couldn't understand it, and asked: "I have been guarding outside the room, and I haven't seen Miss go out, and there is no door leading to the next door, how can Miss be in the next room?" ”、
"There are no doors, don't they have windows?" Zhao Hu explained with a smile.
Xiaolian calmed down at this time, and she couldn't take care of Zhao Hu, so she dropped a sentence: "I'm going to go and see it quickly." ”
He turned around and rushed out of the room door, ran to the next room, and immediately crashed into it.
As soon as she saw it, Tian Yao was lying on the bed, the person waiting next to her was Sunset, and she was still very grateful, she stepped forward to check Tian Yao, and there was nothing unusual, she was still sleeping quietly, she immediately bent down and made a big gift to Sunset, so panicked that Sunset hurriedly hugged her and said, "Get up, get up, Sister Xiaolian doesn't have to make such a big gift." ”
Xiaolian said gratefully: "If it weren't for Sister Sunset's plan this time, I'm afraid that Miss would have been poisoned by them, and if Miss had another accident, Xiaolian would be unable to atone for her death." ”
Sunset smiled and was just about to speak, when Zhao Hu suddenly shouted from the next room: "What kind of person is sneaky outside." ”
Xiaolian and Sunset hurriedly opened the window, and saw that Zhao Hu had already flown out of the room, chasing a black-clothed masked man.
Zhao Hu followed the figure of the man in black and chased closer and closer, took a breath, increased his speed, and was about to take it in one fell swoop, the masked man in black probably also sensed the danger, and his figure was stunned, jumped directly to the ground, and turned to look at Zhao Hu.
"It doesn't matter who you are, it's better to be caught." Seeing that the man in black stopped, Zhao Hu thought that the other party had given up and fled, and persuaded him.
"Hehe~" The black-clothed masked man chuckled, his tone was full of disdain, he took something out of his arms and smashed it on the ground, and suddenly thick smoke enveloped the area where the two were standing.
As soon as he saw this smoke, Zhao Hu knew that it was not good, and slapped his palm towards the position where the man in black was standing just now, and it was really empty, and there was no trace around, Zhao Hu smashed his fist on the trunk of the tree next to him in annoyance, and said: "Actually let people escape again, these killers are so well-trained, how many backhands has the emperor hidden." ”
Zhao Hu returned to the palace while thinking about it, and saw that Tian Yao was still staying in the next room, and moved the items in the original room together, so he walked in, and saw that Sunset had just withdrawn the fingers on Tian Yao's wrist, and immediately noticed that this Sunset was probably good at medicine, and asked: "Miss Sunset, do you know how to heal?" ”
Sunset turned around and saw that Zhao Hu was back, smiled and said, "I learned a little from people before, why did I lose it?" ”
"Yes, these killers are too cunning." Zhao Hu said with a frown.
"In my opinion, I'm afraid it's not all killers, but I don't know how many waves of people are interested in Tian Yao." Sunset thought for a moment and put forward a different opinion.
"Oh, what do you mean by that?" Zhao Hu looked at Sunset suspiciously and said.
"The people who entered the room before and shot the dark weapon at you should be a group of people, and the purpose should be to assassinate Tian Yao, and the purpose of the masked man later is not certain." Wanxia explained, looking at Zhao Hu's inquiring eyes, and continued to explain: "The masked man later, the other party can escape under General Zhao, which shows that the martial arts should not be weak, if the other party sneaks up, I am not sure that Tian Yao will not be injured." But the other party did not do this, but deliberately showed his whereabouts, thinking that even if he was not a friend, he was definitely not an enemy. ”
After some analysis, Zhao Hu nodded convincingly and said, "What Miss Sunset said is that Zhao is now officially asking Miss Sunset to help take care of Tian Yao together. Although Xiaolian is a good person, she doesn't know martial arts after all. ”
"Of course Sunset does." Sunset nodded calmly and said, "It's just that the safety outside the house still has to trouble General Zhao, I'm afraid that those killers won't succeed and will appear again." ”
After a night of chaos, the sky has already appeared white. During the day, the palace was still as calm as usual.
Zhao Hu took advantage of the day to rest for two hours, and when he saw that it was almost dark, he stayed outside Tian Yao's door on time.
Time passed bit by bit, and Zhao Hu always felt that there was a gaze that kept staring behind him, which was Tian Yao's room. Holding his breath and concentrating, he adjusted his breathing slowly, closed his eyes, sensed everything around him, and finally found something strange in the corner of the yard where the debris was piled up, and immediately jumped up and pounced directly.
The other party didn't expect to be discovered so soon, so he was so frightened that he quickly jumped from the corner to the wall, and it was a man in black, and he could escape when he turned around.
Zhao Hu didn't bother to ask again, and immediately chased after him.
After a few starts, Zhao Hu and the man in black saw that the distance was significantly shortened, Zhao Hu could perceive that the man in black this time should not be the gang of assassins yesterday, and after a turn of thought, he actually took out something from the gorgeous, threw it at the man in black, and shouted in his mouth: "Look at the hidden weapon." ”
The man in black looked back, and sure enough, he saw something coming towards him, and hurriedly dodged, only then did he see where there was a hidden weapon, that is, half a steamed bun, and he couldn't help but open his mouth and scolded: "I didn't expect the dignified general to cheat." ”
"The art of war is cloudy: soldiers are not tired of deceit." Zhao Hu didn't feel any shame, but said a little proudly, "Look at the move." ”
While the two were talking, Zhao Hu had already caught up, and he slashed down with one move.
The man in black hurriedly blocked the move, and then took out his weapon, without saying a word, and directly put on a posture.
Zhao Hu was stunned for a moment, and always felt that the other party's posture was a little familiar, and before he had time to think about it, he saw that the man in black had already stabbed at him with a move, and quickly blocked it.
The two of them came and went, crackling and fighting together, only to hear the constant shouts of fists and kicks, the bigger the two became, the more puzzled they were, why are their moves so similar to each other?
The man in black suddenly thought of something, suddenly changed his move halfway, jumped to the side, and said, "Wait, I have something to say." ”
"What do you want to say, you want to tell General Ben who sent you." Zhao Hu also stopped and asked casually.
Unexpectedly, the man in black pulled down the face towel on his face, and it was Wang Liang, and then opened his sleeves and said, "Please take a look at this, general." ”
Zhao Hu sneered, raised his eyes, and was stunned for a moment.
On Wang Liang's arm, a bright flame pattern was clearly visible in the moonlight.
