Chapter 496: Sleepless Nights

At sunset, the last rays of sunlight dragged the lonely poplar trees out of slender shadows, imprinted on the barren land, which was a little strange to look at in the blink of an eye.

Suddenly, there was a fluctuation in the space, and a purple figure stepped out of it, slowly appearing. The man's face was tightly wrapped in a veil, revealing only a pair of piercing eyes, and from time to time there was a hint of fierceness in his eyes.

I saw that he kept scanning the surroundings, but except for a few poplar trees, there was only an endless barren land left, and the nearest town was also separated by nearly a hundred miles, and there was no figure at all.

However, at this moment, his eyes suddenly changed.

Tremble!

The crisp sound of winding broke out instantly, and the man lifted his robe and turned, his arms outstretched and each holding a repeater in his hand, the arrows glowing with a deep purple light. Under the finger of twelve sharp arrows, a figure in a purple robe slowly walked out from behind the tree, but there was no trace of scruple at all. In his eyes under half of the metal mask, there was an unfathomable look.

After seeing the person who came, the previous man put away the repeater and hummed, "Pay the bill." If it weren't for the sake of old friends, I wouldn't be willing to take on such a deal. You can only hurt but not kill, you know it's a lot harder than if I killed all three dolls. I understand why you have quirky requests. ”

The other party smiled mysteriously: "You don't understand the rules between the killer and the employer, why are there so many problems? This is the agreed triple reward, if you dare to reveal the slightest bit of today's deal, don't blame me for ignoring my friendship for many years." ”

took a storage ring thrown over, and the killer didn't even check whether the reward in it was the same as agreed, and directly put it away and turned around and replied: "Don't worry, my emperor's name is not in vain, I never miss, and the rules will not be broken." ”

After looking at the other party's figure and disappearing into the environment again, the purple-robed masked man covered his forehead and snorted softly: "I'm afraid you won't have much chance in the future." Hurting a girl to dare to hurt her face is a serious consequence. I'm a little curious about who is better than the enraged Sword Demon or the famous Emperor Thorn. ”

A breeze swept by, and his figure disappeared immediately. All that remained was a few solitary aspen trees, and the sky was completely dark.

......

Outside the North Courtyard Pass, the brightly lit camp tents are continuous, and the entire wasteland is lit up by firelight in the blink of an eye, and the night sky above is also transparent.

The first battle of the Northern Expedition was won without suspense, but in the cheers of the Jinxuan soldiers, there was still a trace of worry lingering around the army, which could not be dispersed for a long time.

It's just getting started.

The cruelty of war and deceit, any of the same results are the price of blood, and millions of corpses are ambushed.

Standing at the juncture, Feng Ren looked up at the dimly lit crescent moon in the air, and an inexplicable sense of desolation emerged in his heart. This Northern Expedition is a catastrophe for both Beiting and Jin Xuan, and it is destined to be buried in tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of hot-blooded men and never return.

But for war, these are necessary. If you want to end the war, the best way is to end the war with war, which is destined to be full of blood.

"What's wrong, can't you sleep?"

In the shadows, Jian Qi walked out slowly, but surprisingly did not call Feng Ren "Sword Demon Lord".

Feng Ren smiled lightly: "I've been watched, where can I put my mind to sleep, isn't it?"

Jian Qi's face suddenly changed slightly, and he said: "I didn't mean to spy on you, but I just happened to see someone standing on the pass looking at the moon from below, and I came up with curiosity for a while, where did I think it would be the Sword Demon Lord You......"

"You're too careful, I don't mean you. Feng Ren hurriedly explained, a trace of solemnity flashed in his eyes, and the seemingly casual glance of the afterglow stared at a dim corner.

Hearing this, Jian Qi became even more nervous, covered his mouth and said softly: "Is it possible, there are still others here?"

Feng Ren nodded lightly: "Yes, from the first step we stepped here, the feeling of being watched in my heart has not disappeared." After all, this is the boundary of the North Garden, who knows if there are old monster-level characters who resist Jin Xuan's famous Northern Expedition in their hearts, and secretly want to destroy it. But perhaps because of the self-esteem of that kind of strong man, they will not look for ordinary soldiers to make a move...... So, there is a good chance that a few of us will be targeted. ”

"What do you mean...... Is there anyone by our side?" Jian Qi finally noticed that Feng Ren's afterglow had been glancing at the corner on the side, and he understood in his heart, a drop of fine sweat on his forehead slowly slipped down, and the sword in his sleeve was also sent into his palm along his arm, and he could shoot at any time.

Who knows, Feng Ren suddenly raised his head and smiled: "Just kidding, look at your nervous appearance." Truth be told, it's been a long time since I've seen you like this. Actually, what do you do all day long with a cold look, as if everyone owes you. ”

"You!" Jian Qi suddenly drank angrily, turned around and left.

In an instant, the night breeze blew at the juncture, and only Feng Ren was left. He glanced at the previous corner again, then jumped to sit down directly on the roof, took out two jars of aged wine from the storage ring and swung them to his side, turned his head and shouted, "Don't you feel tired after hiding for so long?

A sneer came from there, and a tall and thin figure strode out, looking up at Feng Ren, with a hint of ruthlessness in his eyes: "Presumably, you not only discovered my existence before, but also already knew who I was, so you deliberately took the dust away, right?"

Feng Ren threw away a jar of wine and said, "Of course, I didn't let anyone with bad intentions drink with me." ”

The person who came took the wine jar, jumped to the roof and stood on the side of Feng Ren, and said with a cruel smile: "You are not afraid, will it not be good for you to wait for you to drink too much later?"

"You won't. As I said before, the dignity of the strong does not allow you to do that, and it will only be a head-to-head battle to determine the winner. Isn't it, Jiang Soulming?" Feng Ren took the lead in raising his head and drinking half of the wine, and wiped his mouth very happily.

Jiang Soul was stunned for a moment, then he also raised his head and laughed, raised the wine jar and drank it bitterly, and drank all the wine in one go. At the end, the wine jar was thrown out directly, and the strength of the fingers poked out completely crushed it.

"To be honest, this is the first time I've drunk with someone I don't like, and you're an exception. ”

After that, Jiang Soulming sat down next to Feng Ren, snatched the wine jar from the other party's hand and took a big sip, and smiled heartily: "Happy!"

Feng Ren's eyes changed slightly, but he didn't care, he just looked at Jiang Soulming's side face and asked, "Presumably, it was Jiang Yuan who left you behind, right?" I'm a little curious, since the first time I saw you, I have been secretly feeling that you have an inexplicable hostility towards me. We must have never seen each other before that, right?"

Jiang Soul snorted: "Yes, I have never seen it before, but I already know about the existence of you. That alone is enough to arouse my hatred for you. By the way, I'd love to know one thing, who is your father, and why can't I find any clues with the help of the intelligence system of the Oblivion Pavilion in private?"

Feng Ren was very inexplicable: "What do you mean, why do I feel very inexplicable?"

"Answer me. Jiang Soulming's tone already had a commanding tone.

"I haven't seen him either, he was missing before I was born, and there is only one name left, Jiang Tiancheng. According to my mother, there is a taboo in this surname...... Perhaps, my father and your father have some relationship. Feng Ren didn't know why he answered this very rude question.

"Jiang Tiancheng? I haven't heard of it...... Hmph, I thought you were my father's illegitimate son, but you weren't. Jiang Soul Ming said casually, but suddenly found that Feng Ren's eyes had changed, implying a trace of anger.

"If you dare to be so rude again, you will blame me for being rude. ”

It's okay to belittle him, but if you dare to pull it on Feng Xinzi, don't blame him for turning his face and denying people.

Jiang Soulming also realized that he was too rude, and shrugged his shoulders a little apologetically: "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to-no, do I need to apologize to you? I almost forgot about that incident-you kid listen, today I take this opportunity to warn you, if you dare to pester Gu Yayin again in the future, I will definitely dismantle you." She's my fiancée, and it's not your turn yet!"

"What?" Feng Ren was startled, and stood up suddenly, and the force of the random vibration under his feet made the entire roof tremble incessantly, and the dust fell.

Sister Yin said that she had a husband who was married to her fingertips...... Is it really true?" As he said this, Feng Ren realized that he was wrong. He remembered this fact, but he read it directly from Gu Yayin's memory, so there could be no problem.

"Yes, it's true. Now you should understand why I have that attitude towards you, right? Listen to me, no matter how deep your friendship with Xiaoyin was, it will end here. From now on, you don't need to worry about her business. Jiang Soulming's breath skyrocketed instantly, and it seemed that he would make a move at any time.

Feng Ren snorted and said, "Sister Yin's affairs are naturally up to her, and I don't want to care." It's just that if you dare to threaten her with the help of this so-called fingertip for the marriage agreement, I won't let you go, understand?"

The anger in Jiang Soulming's eyes was even stronger: "Boy, if it weren't for my father's order not to fight you, I would have to stab you out of dozens of holes today." ”

"Hahahaha, Jiang Soul Ming, are you also a man like this? For the sake of his father's order, he didn't even dare to vent his true thoughts in his heart? I tell you, I like Sister Yin, and I will never give it to you! Besides, you are your fiancée, but when she suffered so many times, where were you!" Feng Ren didn't know where the idea came from, and he said it all in one breath.

"Don't force me!" Jiang Soul shouted angrily, holding his sharp spear in his palm casually, and the moment the blade slowly sank, there were already several phantom shaking.

"Words are not speculative, more than half a sentence. If you want to fight, I'll do whatever you want. Don't worry, tonight's matter is a private matter between the two of us, and Jiang Yuan will never let it know. Feng Ren raised his hand and pulled out the stardust tears, and the sword intent was clear.

At the moment of tension, a cold voice suddenly sounded: "It's enough, what do you want to do?"

Feng Ren turned his head to look, but he saw Jian Qi go and return.

Jiang Soulming shouted directly: "Xian Chen, this is me and him to solve the problem between men, don't interfere." ”

"Brother, can you be sober!" Jian Qi drank again, and that title made Feng Ren tremble.

Elder brother?

The two of them turned out to be brother and sister?
