XVII. Attack on a rainy night
On the night of lightning and thunder, a shocking thunder exploded in the sky above Beilan Kingdom, and the night sky was instantly illuminated, and the looming earth looked even more hideous. Bean-sized raindrops poured down, washing over the bushes on both sides of the Mijiang River and washing the endless night.
A fast-moving black shadow shuttled swiftly through the woods, as fast as a jaguar, as fast as a tiger. They were covered in black veils, and their eyes were always cautiously watching the two boats moving on the river.
Suddenly, the man in black at the head signaled to stop, he looked at the soaking man not far in front of him, and was very shocked: "Mu Ye, why are you here?"
"Nightlight, retreat." The man's loud voice reached the ears of everyone in black through the pouring rain, and all of them looked at each other in surprise.
Ye Ming's eyes were confused, and he was still vigilant in his heart: "Mu Ye, why are you retreating?"
The man didn't mess up because of Yeming's words, "Why, don't you even listen to me?" The man's resolute and handsome face was full of majesty, and his eyes were full of murderous energy.
"Yeming has no second heart for Mu Ye."
Ye Ming raised his head again and looked at the man he was familiar with, with the help of the light of thunder, it was indeed the same clothes and the same face, and after some observation, it was confirmed that this was his master Mu Yang.
"The third brother and mother were attacked, and the people he sent to protect him were not enough, so I hurried to send you over for reinforcements."
Ye Ming hesitated slightly, he shouldn't have asked so much, as Mu Yang's most powerful night marcher, as long as it was Mu Ye's order, they would not hesitate to go up the knife mountain and go down to the sea of fire, but these words couldn't help but make him wonder again.
"Mu Ye, Gu Ye's mother was assassinated, doesn't the emperor care?"
Ye Ming stared at Mu Yang's expression, wanting to capture a trace of effective information, after all, for this decision, he felt that Mu Ye would not easily ask them to retreat, for Gu Ye's life, Mu Ye valued him more than his own, so he wanted to test the temptation.
"Hmph, Yeming, have you forgotten that all this is the emperor's handiwork?" Mu Yang let out a sneer, and Ye Ming's heart couldn't help but relax after hearing this, and he gradually let down his vigilance.
"My subordinates understood."
Ye Ming raised his hand to signal, and a group of black shadows behind him quickly dispersed with a "whoosh", and disappeared into the rainy night in a blink of an eye.
The smug smile crossed the corner of the man's mouth behind him, and he jumped and disappeared into the hazy night sky.
"Boom—"
A narrow bolt of lightning split through the hazy sky, and Ju'er shivered and curled up in the quilt, covering her ears to prevent herself from hearing the sound of lightning and thunder.
She has always been afraid of this kind of thunder and lightning rainy nights, and when she was a child, her mother would always hold her in her arms and pat her back to coax her to sleep. Thinking of them who died, Yu'er couldn't help but reddened her eyes again.
Yu'er looked out at the curtain of the door, and the deck of the cabin was brightly lit. Hasn't Brother Gu slept yet?
She got out of bed and looked, sure enough, Gu Ruobai was standing outside, looking at the endless dark night, the bleak cold wind mixed with raindrops blowing his green silk and white robe, and the tall and slender back was a little lonely.
"Brother Gu." Yu'er called softly.
"Why don't you sleep yet?"
"I... I'm afraid of thunder, I can't sleep. As soon as she finished speaking, a thunderclap sounded in her ears, and she hugged the little fish in her arms tighter.
"Brother Gu, come into the cabin, it's windy outside." As she spoke, she stepped out of the cabin with one foot.
"Be careful!" Gu Ruobai exclaimed, and an arrow flashed in front of Yu'er. Yu'er only felt a cool breeze blowing in her ears, she turned her head in confusion, and instantly covered her mouth that wanted to scream, Brother Gu was grabbing a sharp arrow in his bloody hand at this time!
Yu'er couldn't suppress her trembling body, and was about to speak, but she heard Gu Ruobai roar: "Go in!" As he spoke, the big hand pushed her in mercilessly.
"Brother Gu!"
"Don't come out."
The deep eyes couldn't hide the anger, and Gu Ruobai stroked his sleeves away.
