Chapter Twenty-Three: The Night Rage
The carriage moved forward slowly, and the distant car bell came with the misty wind, different from before, the atmosphere in the car had changed subtly, although the two were still silent, and occasionally looked at each other, Qian Shanxue saw Xiao Xuanyu smiling slightly.
But a few miles to the capital, although the snow stopped, but the cold wind, the horse drove for most of the road has been slightly tired, and it is close to dark, Jin Xihou saw the bright light in the distance, as the light gradually cleared, an inn suddenly appeared in front of their eyes, Xiao Xuanyu listened to Jin Xihou's suggestion, opened the curtain and thought for a while, and after staring for a while, he decided to stay.
As soon as the group stepped into the inn, the shopkeeper greeted them with a smile, looked at them, and said, "It's cold outside, please come inside the four sons." ”
"Does the boss have a good room?"
Kou Min stepped forward and saluted and smiled slightly, his attitude was very modest, his eyes casually scanned the surroundings, but there was alarm in his eyes.
"Yes, yes, but there are only two, do you mind the four sons?"
The shopkeeper's eyes flickered, and he couldn't stop looking at them.
"It's all men, what's there to mind about?"
Without waiting for Xiao Xuanyu to speak, Jin Xihou grabbed the conversation, he had already noticed the slight change in Xiao Xuanyu's expression, his lips were slightly raised, and then he said lightly, "I'm with Kou Min, what do you think of Xuan Yu?" ”
Kou Min smiled indifferently.
Qianshan Xue was stunned, her heart was in vain, and her heart fell straight down, and there was a hint of reluctance in her seemingly relaxed smile.
I only heard Xiao Xuanyu smile but not laugh, and said without refusal, "This is not bad." ”
Sure enough, this is the ending, she thought about how she should spend this long night and how to deal with it, but her face became solemn, she categorically could not refuse because of this, this would definitely make them suspicious, weighing the pros and cons, she lowered her head resignedly, and silently followed behind Xiao Xuanyu.
At this time, it was dinner time, when they passed the vestibule, they saw that the small guest hall was full of guests who came to stay, and they were commenting on the wine, talking about the excitement, and from time to time there were bursts of hearty laughter, looking at the clothes they were undoubtedly with the ordinary businessmen, but when Qianshan Xue unintentionally collided with their gaze, the afterglow of their eyes flashed a blade-like cold light, like a bladeless blade stabbing at her, and she saw that her heart was hairy, and she didn't dare to look at it anymore, but she always felt that something was wrong in her heart at the moment, This is not from their knife-like eyes, but from their overly neat attire, they have not even messed up their hair, not like businessmen who are in a hurry, and they can't help but look back, seeing that they continue to eat as if nothing happened, Qianshanxue chuckled, feeling that she was thinking too much.
And Xiao Xuanyu retracted his careless eyes, and then the corners of his mouth showed a meaningful smile.
After dinner, the sky became more and more dark, the wind outside the window was bleak, blowing the dead branches, the moon was dark and the wind was high at night, hiding mysteries.
Xiao Xuanyu sat on the couch and closed his eyes and pondered, there were only two people left in the room, the atmosphere was quiet and solemn, and Qianshan Xue was crazy in her heart and didn't know where to stand.
"Come here."
Abruptly, like a needle tipping her nerves, it made people more and more nervous, she approached slowly, seeing that his eyes were still closed, his expression was cold, she hesitated for a moment, and reluctantly said, "What does King Xuan command?" ”
Xiao Xuanyu suddenly opened his eyes, glanced at them, and said lightly, "How can you know medical skills?" ”
It turned out to be asking this, her tense nerves, relaxed a little, her eyes flowed, a light of unknown meaning flashed under her eyes, and the next moment, she found a reason that he could accept and said slowly, "The slave was once taken in by a doctor surnamed Cao, and learned some fur from him, but Doctor Cao had an accident, otherwise the slave would not have arrived at the Xuanwang Mansion." ”
Xiao Xuanyu was skeptical of her words, but he couldn't see the flaw, he stared at her fixedly, until he saw that she was a little uncomfortable, Qianshan Xue secretly said in his heart, his appearance of not speaking was even more terrifying, as if he was interrogating.
The atmosphere was terrifyingly quiet, and suddenly there was a figure outside the window, and the person who came said carefully, "Xuan Yu, but you are sleeping?" ”
"Come in."
Qianshanxue's mood at the moment is extremely grateful, and the Marquis of Jin Xihou is not early or late, which is just right.
It's just that Jin Xihou didn't come in immediately, but paused outside for a while, he coughed and pushed the door in, his eyes swept away, and he glanced at the two of them meaningfully, and without waiting for him to speak, he was robbed by Xiao Xuanyu, "Don't worry, you don't have eyes to see what you should see or not." ”
A sentence choked Jin Xihou to cough, and he couldn't reply to him for a long time, so he had to stare dryly, just when he thought of choking back his words, suddenly his figure stared, concentrated, listened, and looked out vigilantly.
Qianshan Xue saw Ni Duan, but she couldn't hear anything, Jin Xihou's eyes were like snow, his eyes were already angry, and he said coldly, "Xuan Yu, these people have followed all the way, I will go out?" ”
Xiao Xuanyu lowered his head and drank tea, his complexion was pale, he did not deny it, he was slightly stunned, his originally calm complexion suddenly put the teacup "da" and put it down heavily, "It's because we didn't greet us well, and we didn't invite people to come in for tea." ”
In the next moment, Xiao Xuanyu's eyes suddenly changed direction, his black pupils froze, suddenly, picked up the teacup and smashed it violently against the window in an instant, and with a "snap", the figure outside the window flashed.
Jin Xihou couldn't bear it anymore, and Huo Di's body exploded and chased out.
He chased the figure and unconsciously circled far away from the courtyard, the cold light in the distance flickered, and by completely disappearing from sight, he suddenly lost his target during the pursuit.
Suddenly, a strong wind with strength to attack him, he avoided the danger, his right hand quickly caught the flying cold dart, the next moment he punched the opponent fiercely, in an instant, the air flow is staggered, half weird, half evil, the cold sword and the fierce blade confrontation, do not let each other, the sword light and sword shadow collided several times, rubbing the clothes to make a rustling sound, half a day later, with a muffled sound, the black shadow turned back, the evil spirit under the eyes of Jin Xihou did not dissipate, he slowly walked to him, made sure that the person was dead, he used the tip of the sword to pick open the face towel of the man in black, He was suddenly shocked that this person was actually the owner of the shop.
He slapped his forehead and suddenly realized that he had fallen for the plan to divert the tiger from the mountain.
In this courtyard, the three of them had already stepped out of the house, and from the corner of Qianshan Xue's eyes, she could vaguely see some black shadows faintly passing through the roof, passing by quickly like a ghost, and she immediately approached Xiao Xuanyu vigilantly.
At this time, Xiao Xuanyu, I don't know if it was because he had a premonition or was used to being vigilant, he pulled the two of them behind him, raised his head and stared at all the movements outside.
Kou Min was so nervous that he didn't dare to come out, his heart was about to jump to his throat, he tugged at Qianshanxue's sleeve slightly, and motioned for her to come over here, Qianshanxue was indifferent, just staring at the roof.
In less than a moment, the black shadow flashed, shuttling on the roof, accompanied by the whispering of ghosts, the black shadow increased by a few, jumped over from another roof, and crouched on the ridge to look down.
In this way, the men in black have gathered on all sides of the roof, as if it were a feast of the devil.
