Chapter 165
The sound of swords was getting closer and closer, and the firelight around them was gradually gathering, Gu Shi and the others turned pale, and a few timid maids were already crying.
Ling Miao glanced at a little maid behind her, who was only twelve or thirteen years old, her body was very thin, covering her mouth and trying not to cry. But in the end, he is still young, where can he control it? A whimper spilled from between his lips, causing the other people to also have red circles in their eyes and shiver.
Qingyun and the others were gradually forced into the inner courtyard, and the thieves slowly appeared in Ling Miao's sight.
The men, dressed in black and masked, showed only beastly eyes in the night. They all carried long swords in their hands, and the swords were stained with blood. Slowly surrounding step by step, it was like a blood-colored evil ghost, ready to devour these weak women in front of him at any time.
Qingyun and a few female soldiers hung colors on their bodies, and rushed to Gu Lingmiao's body to protect each other with swords, but only two or three of the guards ran to the inner courtyard, and the rest were injured, or maybe they were already ......
Two maids couldn't help but whisper.
Ling Miao dodged in front of the Gu clan, took a long breath, and asked loudly, "Who are you?" Do you know who lives here? ”
The man in black was silent.
Ling Miao knew in her heart that it was not good.
She was lucky to have it first, but now there is nothing left.
These people really didn't come here to rob money.
"Ah Miao......" Gu suddenly lowered his voice behind Ling Miao and said very softly, "Ask Qingyun to take you away." ”
Qingyun didn't suffer any injuries, she was good at kung fu, if she only took Ling Miao with her, she should be able to escape.
She was on the side, obviously hearing Gu's words, and didn't look back, but just lowered her head as if inadvertently, signaling to Gu that she understood.
Gu Shi had the idea of dying.
She is not stupid, so she naturally knows that today's events must be arranged by someone. It doesn't matter if she dies herself, but she can't let her daughter be trapped here.
However, it was impossible for Ling Miao to leave her and so many people behind and escape alone.
Besides, looking at the surrounding firelight, there are a lot of people coming, and if you want to leave, you are afraid that you will not be able to leave.
Silently took the Wuhou crossbow from Haitang's hand, raised his arm and raised his bow, and the tip of the arrow glowing with cold light in the snow was aimed at the black-clothed man who was walking in front.
Ling Miao curled the corners of her lips and stared at the one tightly, "You'd better stop." ”
She has excellent eyesight, this man in black is different from others, he has a scimitar in his hand. There was a black scabbard hanging from his waist, and if it weren't for the metal lines on it, it would be difficult to find it at night.
Judging from the eyes of the man in black, this person should not be young. The bags under the eyes are obvious and a little blue, but the eyes are strangely bright.
"Miss, this person's martial arts are extremely high, and I am not his opponent."
Qingyun said in a low voice.
Ling Miao narrowed her eyes, and the bow and crossbow in her hand became more and more stable. I don't know why, she always felt that this person was familiar.
The man in black was also looking at her.
The girl in front of her was wearing a bright red brocade robe, and the white wind hair rolling at the collar and cuffs lined her skin like jade. She has an excellent complexion, the kind of bright and clear, but unconventional beauty. The eyebrows are not the most popular willow eyebrows among the ladies in the capital nowadays, but with a little heroism, and the big eyes of the apricot kernel can be seen to be moist and bright even in the dark. She was not afraid to cry like the ignorant women behind her, her slender body stood firmly in front of everyone, and a cinnabar mole between her eyebrows was as red as blood. There was a bitter chill all over the body. is obviously just a fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl, but she forced people to dare not look directly.
Such a description, such a temperament, is so similar to the former Miss Wei!
No wonder, that one tried everything to get her.
"Except for Ling Miao, the rest will be killed!"
The hoarse voice seemed to be squeezed out of his throat, and it was like a rough stone sharpened in the ears of a person, and it was unspeakably uncomfortable.
A flash of light flashed in Ling Miao's heart.
It's him!
Huo Ruhai!
This person's name is Huo Ruhai, who was once under her father's command, and became Wei Tian's deputy general because of his high martial arts skills and daring to fight on the battlefield. He and Hove's father were cousins, so when he was in the capital, he often visited Hove at the General's Palace. Ling Miao remembered that although Wei Tian didn't like this person very much at that time, he didn't stop him from entering the mansion, and once said that after all, he was flesh and blood, and although he adopted Huo Fu, he couldn't tell Huo Fu to break off the relationship with the Huo family.
But later, Huo Ruhai was greedy for military salaries and was noticed by Wei Tian. Wei Tian's most hated thing in his life is to drink the blood of soldiers, he often said, soldiers defend their families and defend the country, fight to the death, if even their salaries and silver have to be greedy for ink, what is the difference between treason and defection to the enemy?
Therefore, even if Huo Ruhai cried and begged for mercy, and even moved out of the fact that his cousin had saved Wei Tian's life, Wei Tian never relented, but threw Huo Ruhai into prison.
It's just that before the hall was passed, a fire broke out in the prison, and Huo Ruhai was burned to death on the spot. It's just that now it seems that the fire was just a trick, and the one who burned to death was a substitute for the dead. And the real Huo Ruhai was replaced.
Sometimes, a single thread can lead to the crux of the whole mystery.
If you recognize Huo Ruhai, you can also know who was the person who rescued Huo Ruhai back then, who was not only the person behind the embezzlement of military salaries at the beginning, but also the driving force behind today's events.
In the matter of the General's Mansion at the beginning, would there also be Huo Ruhai's hands and feet?
Ling Miao always felt that when Huo Fu was led into the General's Mansion, she was just a five or six-year-old girl, where did she have so much hatred for the General's Mansion? Even if she wants to snatch Xiao Qian, Huo Fu is not stupid, and she should be able to think that with her identity, she will not become Xiao Qian's concubine at all. Would she rather be small?
But judging from later rumors, Hove is clearly ambitious.
What if you add Huo Ruhai?
Assuming that Huo Ruhai took refuge in Xiao Qian, or that Xiao Qian bought Huo Ruhai first, and Huo Ruhai was greedy for a huge amount of money in the army, could it be that Xiao Qian was actually the real moth? Xiao Qian has always had ambitions for the throne, but although the Li family is a family, the financial resources are insufficient.
With Huo Ruhai's greedy military salary, then for Xiao Gan, Huo Ruhai is a great hero. There is really a day when the king will reign in the world, Huo Ruhai will inevitably be rewarded and reused, and a marquis will not be able to escape.
On that day, Hove became Xungui's niece, and her status was much higher than that of the righteous daughter of the General's Mansion. Coupled with the love affair with Xiao Qian's secret song, it seems reasonable to dream of being a queen.
This line was finally strung together by Ling Miao.
These were just speculations that flashed in Ling Miao's mind. But if the speculation is true, then it means that today's events are all planned by Xiao Qian!
Her heart was clear, and when she looked at Huo Ruhai again, boundless hatred swelled up.
If it weren't for these people, how could her father have died!
Loyal and sincere, but it has become a stepping stone for these clowns!
The arrow in his hand broke through the air and shot towards Huo Ruhai with a sharp whistle!
Huo Ruhai's reaction was also extremely fast, and with a swing of the scimitar in his hand, he tossed the arrow that had already arrived in front of him to the side.
But in addition to the fact that the Wuhou crossbow can be fired in bursts, the most important feature is that it is extremely powerful. At this time, he was not far away from Ling Miao, and the arrow was like thunder and lightning, and he only felt that his arm was numb with a flick, followed by a miserable scream behind him—but one of his subordinates was shot in the chest by the arrow, and he fell to the ground in an instant, without breath.
This time the rabbit rises and falls. Everyone didn't expect that Ling Miao would suddenly attack, and the sharp weapon in her hand was so powerful!
Ling Miao returned his hand, and Mu Hibiscus had already handed over five arrows.
With arrows, flat lifting, Ling Miao is as calm as a white crane mountain.
"If you are not afraid of death, you will come over." She stared at Huo Ruhai, "I want to see if my five arrows are faster, or General Huo's knife is faster." ”
As soon as General Huo's three words came out, Huo Ruhai's body on the opposite side was shocked.
His eyes burst with fine light, and his hoarse voice sounded again, "What General Huo?" You've mistaken the person! ”
Ling Miao smiled, "General Huo Ruhai, you have been fighting horses for half your life, but you ruined your future because of greed. I remember someone saying that you are more than brave and resourceful. I didn't believe it originally, but now it seems that I haven't wronged you. ”
