Chapter 396: Frost Heart
The monster was wriggling on the ground in agony, it had exhausted the last of its strength to save the masked man, and I stepped forward, not wanting its slowly melting body to pollute Qingxue's house. A knife stabbed at its ghost, and then it was thrown out of the door, and it let out an extremely ugly scream, and it whimpered for its life.
Its appearance is ugly, so it has to be disguised in shadows, and its voice is harsh, so it has to imitate others to cover itself, and the masked man does not hesitate to abandon it, but it is scattered in order to save the masked man. It's so pathetic.
When I came to the back door again, I couldn't find any clues left by the masked man.
I found the guards and several maids protecting the princess's bedchamber in a nearby stable, standing in place with glazed eyes, as if they had lost their way. I learned to be a happy monk. Slapped on everyone's heavenly spirit cover one by one, and they really came to their senses.
I asked them to call someone over quickly, Shaoqing arrived first, and there were several guards, and then Ling Xiao and Naranno and a few of them also came.
We didn't bother to look at Shaoqing's face, he wanted to come forward to see the princess, but he was squeezed behind by the big head.
To say that Qingxue has been really unlucky lately, I thought I could relax when I got home. But she met someone who tried to kill her three times and twice. And I still don't know why.
Thinking back to the last two enemy attempts to kill Qingxue, if the first time is still technical, this time it can be called simple and rude, although so, but they are both effective, if it wasn't for Naranno and me, the other party might have succeeded a long time ago, and it's scary to think about it.
The king had not yet arrived, and I asked Naranno if there was any way to wake the princess. Naranno rolled Qingxue's eyelids and looked at it, then helped her sit up, recited a series of spells and transported the ghost qi to the palm of his hand, and slapped it on the position of Qingxue's heart, and Qingxue woke up.
At this time, the king also happened to arrive, and after asking about the situation, he frowned and said nothing. It's just that Shaoqing sent more masters to protect the princess's bedroom.
After Shaoqing received the order, he suddenly pretended to ask me casually: "Four Tigers, why did you just appear here?" ”
As soon as I heard his tone, I became angry, he wanted to put a basin on my head!
No, is he deliberately trying to arouse the king's suspicion of me? He already knew that I had discovered his adultery?
However, I didn't express all these feelings and thoughts, but took out the rapier casually, "That's why I happened to be here, and this is my gift to the princess." ”
When I said this, I was expressionless, but I deliberately emphasized the words "just appeared" to let others know that I was very dissatisfied with Shaoqing's questioning.
The king nodded, and it didn't seem that he was thinking much about it at all, but Shaoqing's face was obviously not very good.
As soon as Qiē explained clearly, everyone else left, and Ling Xiao and I stayed in Qingxue's house.
"That assassin just now was the same person who stole the eye of the storm last time, but unfortunately he let him run away both times." I got straight to the point and told everyone what I had discovered.
"Do you see what he looks like?" Qianmo hurriedly asked.
I shook my head and told them that when I tore off the mask of the masked man, he was afraid that I would see his face, so he ran away, and from this I concluded that he was someone I had ever seen.
Yujie asked me if I recognized the ghost aura on him.
I tried to remember for a moment, but helplessly, I still shook my head, "Judging by the ghost aura alone, I don't know who he is." ”
"It seems that I've been targeted for a long time, since the beginning of Liuliguo" Qingxue's expression was solemn, "What are they going to do to me?" ”
"Don't you think it's strange? If this person wanted to take Qingxue away before, in fact, he could have succeeded in stealing the eye of the storm, why wait until now? ”
None of us can explain the question raised by Yujie, and we really can't figure it out.
It's easy to burn out my brain if I think about it like this, so I decided to change the subject, so I took out the rapier and handed it to Qingxue.
"Try it and see if it's up to the mark."
Qingxue took it and pulled it out casually, it turned out that the sword body after being unsheathed was blue, as delicate and clear as crystal, Qingxue immediately smiled when she saw it, "Where did this come from?" I like it! ”
"It's good to like it, this is" The words that had reached my tongue were swallowed back by me, so dangerous, I almost said bald, "This is what I got by chance, I think it suits you, so I will give it to you." ”
The haze in Qingxue's heart seems to have been swept away, alas, she is still a heartless child, how can she have the heart to talk about marriage!
Qingxue didn't like playing in bed, so she simply jumped to the ground, barefoot, and waved her thin sword excitedly. Only then did we realize that the sword body increased with the amplitude of the swing, and there were even small snowflakes falling on the trajectory that crossed the air, "In the future, I will call it 'Frost Heart', if anyone comes to harm me again, I will use it to kill those people, and then either freeze them into popsicles, or string them into rock sugar gourds, how about it?" ”
Hey, that's not a small breath, Qingxue jumped into the backyard while playing, and we all looked at her happily.
Ling Xiao looked at me with interest, and then at Qingxue, I quickly glared at him, meaning to let him not misunderstand. Yujie walked up to me and asked me in a low voice, "When will Uncle Blacksmith give me a handful too?" ”
All I can say is that smart women are terrible
When the big head heard this, he also leaned over, and looked Yujie up and down, "If you give it to you, will you use it?" ”
"Maybe it's going to be hard" After saying this, I grabbed my head and ran away, Yujie chased after the two of us with her teeth and claws, "You dare to laugh at my aunt and grandmother!" Stop me! ”
Two days later, the day of the final duel between Shaoqing and Xia Yang arrived, and the competition ground was full of people, including the ministers of the Snow Country, the princes of various countries and their retinues, and of course, a few of us. The king and queen also brought the princess to watch the battle, after all, it was the choice of the horse that was decided. Brother of the Winter Claw.
Although Qingxue doesn't want to marry anyone, at least this can be regarded as an explanation to the outside world. The expressions of the king and queen were very stern and nervous, and if they had to choose, they would have hoped that Shaoqing would win.
The arena is located on a hill at the back of the castle, which is a round platform about one meter high and more than ten meters in diameter, and the rules of the competition are that one side admits defeat or is shot down from the stage, and the other side wins.
It's the first time I've seen this prince named Xia Yang, although his appearance is not as handsome as Shaoqing, but he is quite equal in temperament, they are all heroic, and the two of them stand at both ends of the martial arts arena, so imposing.
The king got up and motioned for everyone to be quiet, and then announced the official start of the competition, with the sound of the drum, the onlookers also began to coax, Shaoqing used a long sword, Xia Yang held two daggers, the two moved slowly, both paying attention to each other.
There was a small episode before this, it is said that Xia Yang asked the king to make a request for life and death, but the king refused, it seems that he is here to play with his life today!
Yujie looked at the two people in the arena and asked me, Ling Xiao and Naranno, "The three of you are all masters, can you tell who will win?" ”
Judging from her expression, it looked like a teacher with the correct answer, testing her stupid students.
Ling Xiao has seen Shaoqing's ability, so he thinks that Shaoqing will win, and Nalanno supports Xia Yang, although I also know Shaoqing's strength, but I still don't want him to win in my heart, so I also support Xia Yang, Yujie smiled and said his thoughts, "If I'm right, the Four Tigers, you also want to give me a weapon!" ”
Yujie, a layman, dared to make such a bet with me, anyway, I was going to ask her for a self-defense blade, so I agreed.
Datou has been looking at the martial arts arena intently, quite a kind of out-of-the-world master, Yujie asked Datou what he saw if he didn't have a doorway, but as soon as he opened his mouth, he was exposed.
"Look at this posture, it's not good to get a life." The big head shook his head and said with a pout.
