It's getting a little dark. Xiao Yin looked through the hatch of the ship, and there were several black shadows flashing on the jade belt bridge.

Xiao Huan stood on the bow of the ship, scattering the rain of arrows that flew at the beginning.

Several black shadows on the bridge jumped down, flashing bright knife light in their hands, tearing the whole night apart.

Taichu Lake is at this small bridge in the jade belt, which is just narrowed to form a gate. Xiao Huan looked around, suddenly felt bad, and only said to Lao Mu: "Go back to the shore quickly." ”

The black shadow had already pounced, and at both ends of the bridge, among the reeds and grasses, there were many archers in ambush, and the strings were ready to be fired, outlining the outline of the crossing in the dark night.

Xiao Huan jumped up at the bow of the boat, and the boat sailed a few feet away from the shore along this momentum. Lao Mu responded to Xiao Huan's words, held the rudder in both hands, and rowed towards the shore with all his might.

The boat gradually moved away, and Xiao Yin could only hear the fight in front of him, and there was a tearing sound and a low roar.

The rain of arrows came from all sides, Xiao Huan took off his purple satin cloak, raised it and danced, rolled up the flying arrows with a clanging ground, and threw them into the reeds under the small bridge. A few archers in the reeds threw down their bows and arrows, flew out, and together with the black shadow on the small bridge, they fought with Xiao Huan.

Xiao Yin has been in the Qilan Royal Court since he was a child, although he has also heard some bloody stories, but this is the first time he has seen such a crisis situation. Xiao Yin knew that her brother's kung fu was excellent, but these black-clothed people were clearly dead soldiers with strong martial arts, and for the first time in her life, she was so nervous that she was a little trembling.

Lao Mu was calm, and quickly rowed the boat out of the gate of the Jade Belt Bridge where the moon was shining. The boat docked in the bay outside the pine forest.

The battle on the small bridge of the jade belt seemed to be far away, and Xiao Yin felt that the terrible sounds in his ears were a little misty.

"Quick, Uncle Mu, go and help my brother!"

Lao Mu took out a bamboo tube from his sleeve, pulled the letter rope, and with a "hiss" sound, a wisp of white smoke swept straight across the night sky. "Lord Weng, through the pine forest is the back door of the garden, and someone will answer you there. The old slave went to answer the master. ”

This trail in the pine forest, Xiao Yin remembers. At dusk, Lao Mu brought her from here. At this time, it was already dark, and my heart was full of panic and worry, but I felt that the trail had become long and terrifying.

She walked briskly along the path, looking alarmingly around her.

Suddenly, a strange fire flashed in the pine forest.

Immediately after, there was the sound of hurried footsteps. The fires were connected in a line.

Xiao Yinding looked at it, as if he was a person from the patrol battalion.

"Bold thief, don't show up soon!" The leader shouted.

Xiao Yin saw that he was a sergeant, and his heart was finally half steady, but he was a little hesitant. Although she is not an assassin, it is okay in the end, but she, the lord of the house, runs to this wild pine forest outside the garden at night, and it is always a trouble to make a big trouble.

The sergeant at the head did not allow her to think too much.

"Sneaky in the middle of the night, it must be a thief!" He raised his hand and ordered decisively, "Give it to me, and I will not be forgiven!" ”

"Slow!" Xiao Yin held up the token he got from his sister, "I am a female official of the East Palace, who dares to be presumptuous!" ”

"A bold thief dares to forge the token of the East Palace and pretend to be a female official of the East Palace." The sergeant didn't hesitate, "Kill me!" ”

Xiao didn't have time to think about it, and in a panic, he had to run desperately towards Xingyuan. In the dark night, the pine forest was cut out of jagged and gloomy shadows, like the teeth of a ferocious beast, as if it was about to swallow this dirt road that could not run to the end. Xiao Yin just ran, just ran, and there was only a blank feeling left in his heart.

Suddenly, I heard the sound of horses' hooves.

The man who came on the horse finally tore through this gloomy and terrifying piece. Xiao Yin looked up, and under the moonlight, he was wearing a dark blue riding suit, an ink-colored leather belt around his waist, and some feathered arrows were inserted in the quiver that he straddled.

He leaned over and reached out. Xiao didn't have time to react, only felt that his body was light, and in a blink of an eye, he was already sitting on the horse.

The sergeants still did not let go, and the merciless swords were about to slash upward.

Too flustered and too nervous, Xiao Yin's mind seemed to stop moving, and he just stared blankly. The man did not panic in the slightest, he grabbed the quiver in his hand, and then threw it backhand, and several sergeants who were already approaching fell in response, making way for a messy road.

The remaining sergeants watched the two of them hurry away, but they had no idea.

The light of fire and the light of the knife seem to have been trapped in the pine forest and fog far, far away. Xiao Yin was still a little confused, and the moonlight finally became quiet and gentle tonight, sprinkled on the man's hair crown and forehead through the forest gap. He wore a jet-black mask, but he could still be seen as a man with a wide forehead and a wide face. His arm was very strong, and between his actions, there was a bit of chill in his determination, but Xiao Yin felt very down-to-earth and relieved.

It was as if they were old acquaintances, as if she should have believed him.

Xiao Yin didn't know that Taichu Lake was behind the pine forest, and there was actually a small lake sticking out. The woods and grasses are growing in a disorderly manner, and the scenery is just ordinary, so it's no wonder that when the cultivation palace was in the garden, this piece of land was actually zoned outside.

It looked like it was just an abandoned wooden forest, but when I got closer, there was still a wooden shack hidden. It's small, but even the roof seems to be a shed, and there are some traces of picking up.

The man turned over and dismounted, hesitated for a moment, and reached out to hug Xiao Yin down. Between the touches, Xiao Yin's face was slightly hot. When it was just a moment, I didn't realize anything, but at this moment, I really felt that something was not appropriate. The people of Chang'an Zhou have always talked about these rituals more than the Qilan people, and this man is a little exceptional.

"Please don't pursue the assassin case of the palace again." This is what he said.

"How do you know," Xiao Yin immediately became alert again, "who are you?" ”

"It doesn't matter who I am, as long as the owner knows, what should not be known, if he pursues it too much, it will definitely lead to trouble." The man's voice under the mask also seemed to be disguised, without a trace of warmth, and he added as if threatening, "Just like just now." ”

Xiao Yin suddenly felt that she had seen such stubbornness and momentum, and she was inexplicably petty towards this benefactor. "But what if I have to make it clear?"

Xiao Yin suddenly felt a tingling pain in his ankle, and then there was a strange feeling of crispiness and numbness. Xiao Yin suddenly felt the moon, the treetops, and the shack all spin, and then, it was all dark, and she felt that she was about to fall among the broken grass and trees.

In the confusion, the expected pain of smashing the ground and the dirt and weeds all over the face did not appear.

She fell into a solid embrace.
