Chapter 20: There Are Assassins

After Wei Luo sent Zhou Shilang away, he got into the carriage with a faint expression. I tugged at his moon-white sleeve and pulled him closer.

"That Zhou Shilang just left?"

Seeing my question, Willow chuckled and put his arm around my shoulder, "Do you want him to stay and fight me to the end?" ”

"Although he said so, he must have hated you in his heart."

"Well, you can see it thoroughly." He smoothed out my ripped sleeves, and then looked out the window thoughtfully, "In a few days, I'm afraid there will be some movement." ”

After a few days, we settled in an inn with thirteen secret guards, plus Willow, Mue and me, so we took the second floor of the inn in its entirety.

That night, Willow and I were about to go to bed when we heard a small cracking sound.

Willow waved his sleeve to extinguish the candle on the table, motioning for me to be silenced.

I was about to open my mouth to ask him what had happened, when I saw a small hole in the window paper on the side of me, and a thin bamboo pipe peeked through the hole.

Willow raised his hand to cover my mouth and nose, and then quietly moved me backwards.

Seeing a faint wisp of smoke floating out of the bamboo pipe in the hole, I thought badly, this is a miscellaneous!

I quickly pulled out the antidote to the incense from my sleeve and stuffed it into my mouth, then turned around and stuffed one into Willow's mouth. At this moment, the window was suddenly opened from the outside, and by the faint moonlight, a dark figure was seen dodging and jumping in.

Before I could make a move, Willow had already struck a hidden weapon, which hit the black shadow, only to hear a cry of pain, and the black shadow fell to the ground limply.

I was about to step forward to check, but Willow suddenly pulled me behind me and grazed Willow's sleeve with a dagger that glowed in the cold moonlight.

Anyone else?

I reacted immediately, shouting that there were assassins, alerting the guards to come and help.

Willow got into a fight with the man in black with the dagger, and I took the opportunity to rush to the door to open it, not wanting to get my hand to touch the latch and a huge thrust knocked me backwards.

I stumbled over the table leg and rolled over and pounced on the man in black who was tangled with Willow, the dagger pointed straight at my abdomen.

If I pounce on it, I will go in with a white knife and come out with a yellow knife......

I'm dripping a big intestine!

Before I could lament for myself, Willow held my body in one hand and kicked the man in black out of the window.

"Hurry up and chase it!" Willow said to the Dark Guard who had just broken through the door.

After the guard left, I fumbled my way to the table and turned on the lamp.

The dim light shone on Willow's gloomy face, and I hesitated, but finally asked, "Is that the one sent by some servant?" ”

Willow shook his head slightly: "I don't know either...... Perhaps they are far more than the ones who want to take my life. ”

Willow sat down at the table and reached over to the teacup to pour some cold tea. I suddenly noticed that his moon-white sleeves were red, and the knife just now......

I turned around and took out the wound medicine in the baggage, and while tearing his sleeve in distress, I complained: "Why don't you say anything when you are injured, if I don't find out, do you want to faint from excessive blood loss?" ”

"Don't be so fierce, like a tigress." Willow raised his hand and tapped the tip of my nose, then tilted his head slightly and wondered, "I really don't feel any pain!" ”

I was wrapping his bandaged hand on his arm hard, and I could hear him gasp and exclaim, "It hurts, it hurts, it hurts......"

Ni Meng, who was sleeping in a daze next door, rubbed her eyes and walked in, and when she saw the man in black lying on the ground, and the mess in the house, she couldn't help but widen her eyes and exclaimed, "What's wrong?" Is this man here to rob? ”

I was marveling at the commotion she had just made and she hadn't woken up until now, when Willow chuckled and lifted the man in black on the ground and tied him to his chair.

"Do you think you can get something out of his mouth?" I watched as Willow pulled out the hidden weapon on the blackman's waist little by little, and I couldn't help but smack my tongue.

"I'm afraid I can't ask, the hidden weapon is inserted in the wrong position, and it is estimated that I will not survive." Willow regretfully rubbed the hidden weapon on the body of the man in black, and then put it into his arms.

The black light just now was blinding, and it was uncontrollable to hit the man in black, so I pushed Mue back to the room and told her to rest early, and then I helped Willow to dispose of the corpse.

The guys at the inn watched as Willow and I threw the body out, but none of them dared to say anything. Presumably they thought that our group of people were Jiangyang thieves, specializing in making money and killing people, so when we went to check out at dawn, the shopkeeper didn't dare to accept our money.

Because we are worried that we will encounter such a thing, we will be very cautious in the future, and try to avoid appearing in crowded places, which is more conducive to observing whether anyone is following us.

Although Willow's arm is not seriously injured, I am afraid that I can't do anything with people these days, otherwise it will be very troublesome for the wound to heal. Although the book handed over to me by my mother contains a record of the method of healing, it is very difficult to find several herbs in it, and it seems that I will make plans after I get it.

A few days later, we arrived at the capital of the former Xiao Kingdom, Zixing.

It's a place I've been here a few times, but each time it's taken a toll on me, a place I don't want to mention but have too many memories.

Thinking of sneaking into King Xiao's palace and pretending to be a maid, from poisoning Princess Chaoyun and being pushed off the cliff and then Wei Luo sacrificed himself to save him, to poisoning King Xiao and then Xiao Ran was injured by Wei Luo, the senior brother uncovered Wei Luo's conspiracy, and I fell into the cliff and lost my memory......

Now that I think about it, it all feels like a world away.

When the war raged in the city, Willow poured the bowl of abortion pills into me with his own hands, and my mother and brother fled here with me in embarrassment, but now that time has passed, I am even more sad when I return here.

If it weren't for me, Wei Luo would have already unified the eastern corner of the land, and Mu Xian and Ji Chang would not have been able to make any noise.

It's just that all this has happened, and I can't get it back.

Standing alone in front of the gate of the city of Xingxing, looking at the towering lone peak, sighing, since when did I forget what I wanted to do......

"What's wrong?" Willow grabbed my waist from behind with one hand and whispered in her ear.

"It's okay...... It's just that I'm lamenting that there is no change at all in Xingcheng, and it's still the same as many years ago.

As if he had thought of something, Willow said with a look of guilt on his face, "Is that what happened that made you disgusted here?"

I shook my head: "I just feel emotional, I can understand your hardships about that incident, and Jing'er was born smoothly, so you don't have to take it to heart." It's just that no matter what happens to you in the future, you will be honest with me, and you can't deceive me anymore, otherwise you will ......"

"How else?"

"Otherwise, I will never see you again, not in this life, not in the next life, and not in the next life!" I pursed my lips, a little indignant.

"I'm ......" Willow moved the corners of his mouth, Zuihou lowered his head slightly, and laughed at himself, "What the hell am I doing......"

"You don't have anything to hide from me, do you?" My back stiffened and I looked at Willow blankly.
