Chu Ning opened the tent at the door, and before she could take a single step, a gust of wind swirled and swept over her arm, like the claws of a fierce beast, and there were immediately a few blood marks.
The Jin Kingdom is in the northwest direction of the Eastern Qi Dynasty, and the city built by the Jing clan is precisely at the junction of the two countries, and the closer to the destination, the more cold the wind is like a knife, so cold that people have to shrink their necks when they walk. But no matter how cold the wind is, it won't really sweep away a few blood marks.
Chu Ning didn't have time to think about it, so he casually took the cloak placed at the door and wrapped himself tightly from head to toe first. The wind is really weird, and I don't know if Jing Yuanyi has been cut into meat slices when he sleeps outside.
She opened the tent again, poked her head out and looked out, it was pitch black all around, even the moon was nowhere to be seen, and there was no one on the tree where Jing Yuanyi was resting.
Chu Ning closed her eyes and concentrated, her mind puffing up her cloak like a full stream of water, forming a layer of protection around her body. She walked out and stood still in the open area, and could clearly feel that the wind was still blowing, but when the wind touched the cloak on Chu Ning's body, it was like encountering a wall, so she could only turn around and bypass it, and she could no longer hurt her.
In the silence, two crisp chirps suddenly came from overhead, like some kind of night bird calling for its companions. Chu Ning looked up, only to feel that the night was too dark at the moment to see anything, she was too focused on staring at the sound of birdsong, and by the time she realized that there was wind in her ears again, it was too late.
This wind is obviously manipulated, just like the spells used by the Eastern Qi people, and it is also the magic medium used by the spirit masters. Chu Ning was worried about the safety of Forget Worry, so she turned her head and motioned for Ming Xuan, who came out with her, to turn back and guard the camp.
At the same time, Chu Ning bent her body like a shrimp, and just after dodging, two winds beckoned her in the face from the left and right sides at the same time, as if she was going to slap her twice. The cloak she held up protected her whole body, but she exposed her face outside, and if she wanted to hide at this time, there was nowhere to hide.
She clearly felt that the two winds were close in front of her, so she simply untied the cloak and raised it head-on, and the thoughts wrapped in the cloak collided with the two winds in mid-air, and each let out a small whimper.
Chu Ning was about to breathe a sigh of relief, when the two winds that flew out had turned into four and outflanked him again. A bird that couldn't see the color and appearance of its coat jumped out diagonally, and went straight to the cloak in Chu Ning's hand, and pecked the cloak into a sieve in three or two clicks. Chu Ning just watched the only weapon in his hand become a pile of rags, and if he tried to resist this time, it was really too late to say anything......
Without a cloak to cover her face, the four winds rushed unscrupulously towards her neck, wrists, and foreheart, and the whistle in the wind was like the sound of a cruel laugh when a treacherous plan succeeded.
Chu Ning quickly retreated, wanting to go back to the camp tent to hide, took a step, the whole person was suddenly covered by someone's head, she heard the sound of the wind blowing the battle flag in her ears, and then the whole person was carried and jumped up to the treetops.
She poked her head out and saw Jing Yuanyi's bewitching face, close at hand: "Little beauty, I said it a long time ago, tell you to come up and sleep, but you won't ......"
Before they had finished a sentence, the four winds divided into eight, and eight into sixteen, and more and more winds gathered them in the middle, waiting for them to be exhausted and bite off their necks again.
This is already the land of the Jin Kingdom, and the place selected by the founding of the Eastern Qi Dynasty is indeed called an outstanding person, inherited for hundreds of years, and people are all in order, and I have never heard that even the wind can be used to control it as a weapon to kill.
The amount of wind increased, and Jing Yuanyi was obviously getting more and more strained, his robe had always been very wide, like the wings of a bird. He wrapped Chu Ning in half of his shirt, and only used one hand to block more and more winds, and when he turned a little slower, his shoulder was swept by a gust of wind, and blood splattered out.
"Let go of me......" Chu Ning was pressed in his arms, struggling for a long time, and as soon as he said a word, he was torn to pieces by the wind.
"No, little beauty, you stay obediently," Jing Yuanyi still looked at the smiling and lazy appearance, but his eyes were fixed on the air, and when he talked to her, he didn't look down, obviously not easy to deal with, "If you are swept away by this wind, I will feel distressed." β
Chu Ning's face was hot, in the past, because he looked like he was just a half-grown teenager, he didn't care about saying a few jokes, but he suddenly grew up overnight, and now he looks like Ji Chongguang is the same age, but he still has no words to hide, and he can say whatever he wants.
She listened intently to the sound of the wind, and gradually found a little pattern in it, and poked Jing Yuanyi's chest with her finger: "Although this situation is really weird, I always feel that the birds flying around next to me are the masters who control these winds." As soon as he entered the territory of the Jin Kingdom, he was really alive, and even birds could use spells. It's better to let me down and resist here for a while, and you go and kill those birds, and you should be able to be peaceful. β
Jing Yuanyi was poked by her and snorted, but ignored her words, only freed his hand and pressed her head down again. With this stretch of hand, a gust of wind rolled under his feet, and the dead branches of the trees "clicked" and broke into several pieces, and Jing Yuanyi and Chu Ning fell straight down.
In mid-air, Jing Yuan shook off half of his sleeves, forced himself to change directions, and flipped on the spot after landing on his back, pressing Chu Ning underneath. The wind swept over the two of them as if they had eyes, and Chu Ning was completely suppressed by Jing Yuan, only the hairpin that was swept away and the black hair was scattered.
The wind passed over Chu Ning's head, but the momentum did not weaken at all, and it was sweeping on Jing Yuanyi's cheeks, and it was a blur of flesh and blood.
"Are you stupid?!" Chu Ning couldn't help shouting, she felt that Jing Yuanyi tonight was a little unusual, she couldn't figure out why Jing Yuanyi clearly saw the key to victory, but he was reluctant to do anything to those birds, and then he held his face in vain.
Jing Yuan tilted his head, spit out a mouthful of blood, raised his hand and wiped it on his face, and the palms of his hands were full of red blood.
Chu Ning had always felt that Jing Yuanyi was a little girly, and at this time, he knew that half of the reason why he was hit was for himself, so he muttered a little embarrassedly: "I take back my previous evaluation of you......"
Jing Yuanyi let out an "um", suddenly lowered his head, and almost kissed Chu Ning's face: "What? The little beauty feels sorry for me? At most, it's just a scar, and once upon a time you had a scar on your face, like a little mark from your fingernails, which was very cute. β
Chu Ning had nowhere to hide, and felt that someone had just made a face of blood for him, so he couldn't refuse too ruthlessly, so he turned his head sideways and closed his eyes.
Jing Yuanyi's voice sounded again with a wicked laugh: "I'll bow my head to hide from this wind, what are you doing with your eyes closed?" β
Chu Ning sighed helplessly, his life was almost gone, and he was in the mood to laugh, it is estimated that there is only one person in the world.
She was about to speak, Jing Yuanyi leaned down again, protecting Chu Ning in his arms, and behind him, the wind of the evil sect swirled over...... But there was no expected sound of cutting flesh, but the wailing of the birds could be heard in the distance.
Chu Ning looked up and saw a nine-tailed little monkey hanging himself upside down on a tree with one of its tails, and each of the other eight tails was holding a strange-looking bird. When the little monkey saw Chu Ning, he bared his teeth at her, and with a little force on his tail, the eight birds stretched their necks.
Next to the little monkey, Ji Chongguang, who was dressed in a black robe, was sitting firmly on the branch of a towering tree, with long hair untied and sleeves hanging down, but his eyes didn't know where he was looking.
Chu Ning was happy in his heart, the wind originally came from the void, after the nine-tailed monkey restrained those strange birds, those extremely lethal winds returned to the void, and it was peaceful. But then she was worried, looking at Ji Chongguang's appearance, she should still be blind.
Ji Chongguang opened his mouth motionlessly: "Ning Ning, let it go, stay away." He spoke to his own pet more concisely than to a man. The nine-tailed monkey, called Ning Ning, let out two "squeaks", flicked its tail outward, and cleanly carried out the master's orders.
"Ning Ning?" Chu Ning looked confused, "When did this monkey have a name?" β
"Tonight," Ji Chongguang said coldly, "some people say that the wind and the moon are shining on the trees. β
Chu Ning couldn't cry or laugh, what does this mean, with such a jump in thought, I'm afraid there is only such a thing in the world.
As soon as she turned her head, she realized that she was still pressed under Jing Yuanyi, and said with some embarrassment: "That...... Let's stand up. β
Jing Yuanyi got up lazily, reached out and pulled Chu Ning by the hand, and helped her up.
Ji Chongguang didn't know what he suddenly remembered, and said coldly: "I tried it myself, and the tree is not very good, don't mess with the tree if you have nothing to do." The birds slept on the trees, and the people slept on their beds. β
What and what is this...... Chu Ning rubbed his forehead: "Can any of you two explain to me what is going on with these strange birds and winds tonight?" β
Ji Chongguang seemed to have a problem with the general scope of "you two", and still sat motionless like a statue.
Only Jing Yuan was willing to answer Chu Ning's question: "Obviously, some people don't want to see the smooth marriage between Dongqi and the head of the Jing family, so they sent someone to rob and kill the princess on the way, but they didn't succeed along the way, so they were about to reach the Jing city, so they spent a lot of money to hire a killer." β
"All the way?" Chu Ning frowned, in this way, it was not the first time that the danger had happened, but she was unaware of it. It turned out that Jing Yuanyi insisted on sleeping on the tree every night to prevent someone from sneaking up at night, and he didn't even know how many assassinations he had repelled in private.
