Chapter 240: Scuffle in the Forest
Xiao San frowned: "How could the empress's whereabouts be known." ”
He was able to know Shuli's whereabouts because of the brotherhood in the liaison office, but if the empress knew, only insiders would leak the secret.
Shuli's face was gloomy: "It's Helian Wanjing." ”
"Wanjing?" Xiao San's brows furrowed even tighter: "How is it possible?" ”
Helian Wanjing is the same age as Shuli, and he also grew up watching him, this girl has always been in love with Shuli, no matter who betrays Shuli, she has no reason to be betrayed by Shuli.
Shu Li smiled bitterly: "Third uncle, this matter is long. ”
This middle past is too complicated, where can I explain to Xiao San one by one at this time, please Chu.
Xiao San glanced at Xue Lengyu, and suddenly snorted coldly in his heart, although he didn't say it, he was afraid to think that women were trouble.
Xue Lengyu glared at Shu Li unhappily, this man is handsome and troublesome, hooking up with peach blossoms everywhere.
Shu Li reluctantly shook Xue Lengyu's hand and said to Xiao San: "Third uncle, this matter will be talked about in the future, Wanjing knows too much about our affairs, please Chu, if she votes for the empress, many of our contact points can no longer be used, now we will solve this chasing army first, and then think about it in the long run." ”
At this time, faintly, the sound of tree branches being plucked in the distant fragments, and the sound of chaotic footsteps.
Xiao San said in a low voice to his subordinates: "Everyone dismount and disperse." ”
"Yes." Everyone answered in unison.
The men in black all dismounted, and the well-trained ones slapped the horses on the horses in all directions, and the horses were in pain, so they ran forward, and there were trees in the woods that could not run wildly, but they also neighed and did not stop.
In the silence of the forest, the sound of footsteps was heard in all directions. I can't tell where there are people.
I only heard that the footsteps in the selection place suddenly stopped, and the treetops above his head shook, Xue Lengyu nervously pinched Shuli's fingers, but saw a man in the same outfit as Xiao San sliding down from the treetops, it seemed that it was his own person.
The man walked up to Ken San and said, "Third Master, there are about a dozen people here, and it seems that they are good at the guards in this palace." ”
Xiao San smiled coldly: "The good hands in the palace, when they come to the rivers and lakes, who else will pay attention to them." ”
With a wave of his hand, the black-clothed people around Xiao San suddenly dispersed, and they disappeared in the darkness.
Xue Lengyu was surprised for a while, and was about to ask Shu Li, but when she saw Shu Li leaving her waist, she rose up from the ground. Landed firmly on a thick branch.
turned his head to look, but saw that Shuli had a serious face, and said in a very low voice: "Don't be afraid." ”
Xue Lengyu nodded, holding his breath, only to hear the intermittent neighing of horses in the distance, and the footsteps came back to this side. I wanted to open my eyes and look closely, but I heard Shuli say in her ear: "Close your eyes and don't look at anything." ”
Xue Lengyu was stunned for a moment, and wanted to say that he was not afraid, but he heard an extremely miserable scream not far away, as if he had been killed without any preparation.
After watching a lot of gunfight movies, how to go through this kind of real death, Xue Lengyu's body couldn't help shaking, he didn't dare to be reckless, buried his face in Shu Li's chest, and closed his eyes tightly.
Xue Lengyu tightened his left hand, his right hand trembled slightly, and the long sword came out of its sheath silently, stabbing down with great speed.
Xue Lengyu only felt that his body was empty, and he immediately hit the ground again, and there was a sound of an extremely light blade cutting into something, and then a drop of warm liquid seemed to be splashed on the back of his neck.
I didn't feel any reaction from Shuli, and I didn't feel very nervous knowing that it wasn't him who was hurt. can know that although there is no sound around him at this time, he is carrying out a maybe tragic death-and-death talk, and the hand around Shu Li's waist can't help but tighten.
The eyes that I wanted to see were still trying to see them, but I didn't dare to open them anymore. I'm afraid that when I open my eyes, a body without a head appears in front of me.
Empress Chunyu didn't despise Shuli, but she thought that he was the only one with Xue Lengyu, who didn't know martial arts, no matter how powerful he was, what could he do. So he sent a vanguard of more than a dozen people to hurry up to the front, and he must stop them in the Makubuchi Kingdom, and the rest of the team rushed over with him, but this speed, after all, was a little slower.
These dozen or so people are also good players in the palace, but where are they the opponents of Xiao San and others. Xiao San's subordinates specialize in assassination work everywhere, even if the martial arts are not the strongest when the sword is open, but in this dark forest, surprise can kill people.
Of course, the people of Chunyu Empress are not vegetarians, and after a fight, all the people on the Empress Chunyu's side were killed, and Xiao San's side also folded a few of his subordinates.
Seeing the last purple-clothed man fall under the Shuli Sword, Xiao San whistled, and everyone gathered again.
Xue Lengyu has been working hard to self-hypnotize in Shu Li's arms, eager to let all his senses close himself. From time to time, there was the sound of swords clashing, the sound of sharp blades entering flesh, and screams of various tones. It made her scalp numb for a while, and she could only hold on to her clothes, not daring to relax a little.
It wasn't until Xiao San's whistle remembered that Xue Lengyu listened attentively, and didn't seem to wait for any discordant sound, so he whispered in his ear: "Okay, Leng Yu, set things up." ”
Afraid that she would see something she shouldn't see when she opened her eyes, Xue Lengyu heard Shuli call her, so she opened her eyes cautiously. At first, he narrowed a slit, but saw that the surroundings were still dark, and he couldn't help but feel relieved.
I'm afraid that even if there is something on the ground at this time, I don't need to shine with a torch, I can't really see it. Out of sight, the heart is naturally not annoying.
Xue Lengyu opened his eyes, only to see that there were no major changes in the surroundings, but there were a few purple-clothed people lying on the ground. The purple clothes, Xue Lengyu recognized, were the clothes worn by those guards in the Muyuan Palace.
As long as he didn't face the bloody dead people, Xue Lengyu didn't feel so frightened in his heart, and he didn't feel so terrible about the corpses lying on the ground with no wounds visible.
Xiao San glanced at Xue Lengyu, thinking that although this woman was not pleasing to the eye, she was not as useless as she thought. A girl who doesn't know martial arts can still maintain her composure at this time, but it is not easy.
The black-clothed men under Xiao San's command slowly gathered again, and Xiao San said: "This must be the vanguard sent by the emperor, and I am afraid that there will be people and horses behind." Childe, we need to get out of now. ”
Shuli nodded.
Xue Lengyu felt that the danger had been removed at this time, and it was not good to nest in his arms so tightly, so he struggled outside, and Shuli let her go, anyway, they are all their own people here, and there is no danger for a while.
