Chapter 249: Using his body as bait to lead the straw groom
The night shrouded Kyushu Castle, the moonlight sprinkled like water on the bluestone paved streets, a cool breeze blew, and the leaves of the plane trees on both sides of the street rustled, and it was quiet everywhere.
But in the quiet of the night, an ominous smell permeated the air.
Legend has it that on the night of the full moon, the straw groom would appear in Kyushu Castle and randomly mutilate young women, and tonight was the night of the full moon.
The king of Kyushu told Jiang Xie with a solemn face: "Tonight is the time for the straw groom to commit the crime, and we must join forces to besiege him to protect the people in the city." ”
"Is the prince's news accurate?" Jiang Xie questioned.
The king of Kyushu replied firmly: "Yes, I received news that tonight is indeed in line with the law of the straw groom's travel, and he will inevitably harm the girl when he comes out to commit a crime, and we must take this opportunity to catch that person!" ”
"However, we need to make a careful plan before arresting them."
Jiang Xie proposed a plan to Huo Yijun to disguise herself as a woman to attract the straw groom out.
Huo Yijun's eyes widened and hesitated: "Are you crazy?" Why do you want me to wear women's clothes at this time! ”
Jiang Xie pulled her to the corner of the street.
"Sheng Lin, when you were in Qingfeng Garden, you promised me that you would find an opportunity to show me women's clothes, and now that the time has come, you won't just regret it, right?"
Jiang Xie's eyes were sincere, but Huo Yijun was still hesitating.
But in the end, he agreed to Jiang Xie's plan. So, the group began to prepare.
Night, in the backyard.
Huo Yijun was dressed in a gorgeous bridal dress and walked from the moonlight.
Her long black hair was draped over her fragrant shoulders, her eyes were as clear as water, her red lips were delicate, and her skin was like congealed cream.
Between her eyebrows, there is the tenderness and sweetness of a graceful woman, as well as the childishness and tenacity that have not been shed.
Jiang Xie looked at her, as if he was pulled by an invisible force, and instantly fell into the sea of her eyes.
Their eyes met, and there seemed to be an inexplicable tension and throbbing in the air.
Huo Yijun smiled slightly, like a spring flower blooming, beautiful and charming: "Why are you stunned?" ”
Jiang Xie was shocked by this smile, as if he was in a dream, his heart was surging, and he couldn't help himself.
"Yes, I didn't expect you to be so beautiful." Jiang Xie was in a mood.
At this time, the moonlight is better, the wind is light and the clouds are light, and the scene of the backyard in the night is like a landscape painting splashed with ink.
Jiang Xie's heart was completely occupied by Huo Yijun's beauty, as if she was intoxicated under her pomegranate skirt, unable to extricate herself. He tried his best to suppress the excitement in his heart, trying to hide his appearance of being deeply attracted to Huo Yijun.
However, how could Huo Yijun not be like this?
She saw that Jiang Xie was handsome and chic, her eyes were full of obsession and admiration for her, and her heart was also secretly born of his affection.
The haze of the moonlight blends their moods, picturesque and dreamlike.
The air was filled with tension and throbbing, and the distance between Jiang Xie and Huo Yijun gradually narrowed. Eyes meet, hearts have a heart, and each other's emotions flow in the moonlight, like a splashed ink landscape painting.
At this moment, Jiang Xie could no longer suppress the excitement in his heart, and he walked towards Huo Yijun, his eyes flashing with blazing light. Huo Yijun also put aside her daughter's body and bravely walked towards Jiang Xue, her heart was beating like a drum, but she also carried a little firmness and expectation.
"Jiang Sizheng, I look like this, I should be able to be a bride, go and lure the straw groom out, right?" Huo Yijun ruffled his hair.
Jiang Xie approached her, his finger against her chin and lifted it slightly, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "I regret this plan." ”
"Huh? Regretted it? Huo Yijun frowned slightly.
Jiang Xie hugged her waist and lowered her eyes: "Yes, you are so beautiful, I don't want you to be looked at by the straw groom like this, take off this bridal outfit, and I will play the bride." ”
Huo Yijun looked up at him and looked forward to it: "Okay, I'm looking forward to it." ”
In the dead of night, the streets were deserted
Jiang Xie was dressed in red, wearing a golden hairpin on his head, and a jade jade pendant around his waist, like the daughter of a rich and noble family.
He cautiously stepped out the door and onto the moonlit street.
Huo Yijun and a group of guards secretly followed Jiang Xie and carefully kept their distance. They skirted alley after alley and eventually came to a deserted courtyard. It is rumored to be the hiding place of the straw groom.
Jiang Xie swaggered in, and Huo Yijun and the guards followed closely.
The courtyard was overgrown with grass, and the moonlight spilled on the ground through the broken roof, and it was desolate.
Jiang Xie's heart rose to his throat, and he knew that he had to face it bravely as a bait.
Suddenly, a dark figure sprang out from the corner of the house and lunged at him.
Jiang Xie instantly drew his sword, and Huo Yijun and the guards quickly came and surrounded the black shadow. But the shadow suddenly disappeared in place, leaving behind a scarecrow.
"This is the apparition of the straw groom!"
Jiang Xie shouted, "He must still be here!" ”
The crowd raised their vigilance and looked around for traces of the straw groom.
Suddenly, a voice sounded in the depths of the courtyard, and everyone was startled.
"You're looking for death!"
A man dressed in red stepped out of the shadows, his eyes cold and fierce. This is the legendary straw groom.
"Finally found you!"
Jiang Xie shouted, but the straw groom suddenly disappeared in place, leaving a scarecrow behind.
"This is the apparition of the straw groom!" Jiang Xie shouted, "He must still be here!" ”
The crowd raised their vigilance again, looking around for traces of the straw bridegroom.
Suddenly, a voice sounded in the depths of the courtyard, and everyone was startled.
"You're looking for death!"
A man dressed in red stepped out of the shadows, his eyes cold and fierce. This is the legendary straw groom.
Huo Yijun and the guards quickly rushed to the straw groom, but the straw groom suddenly disappeared in place, leaving another scarecrow behind.
At this moment, a red light shot down from the roof, hitting the scarecrow.
The scarecrow let out a scream that dissipated into a puff of black smoke. A woman dressed in red jumped from the roof, holding a red sword in her hand.
"Who are you?" Jiang Xie asked.
"I'm going to kill the straw groom!"
The woman in red shouted, "My name is Ruby!" ”
Hongyu joins the battle and besieges the straw groom with Huo Yijun and the guards.
After a fierce battle, they finally defeated the straw groom and captured him.
"Thank you, girl!"
Huo Yijun thanked Hongyu, "If it weren't for you, we don't know how many dangers we would have to experience." ”
"That's what I'm supposed to do." Ruby replied with a smile.
After Hongyu finished speaking, she walked in the direction behind her and pulled up Jiang Xie on the ground: "Girl, are you okay?" Did it hurt?? ”
Jiang Xie was stunned.
Huo Yijun snickered on the side, Jiang Xie replaced the original heroism between his eyebrows and eyes with a soft arc, and his lips opened slightly, like a cherry blooming. The skin is as delicate as snow, as if it can be broken by blowing. Fang Cai's graceful posture, light gait, and a smile are all full of charm.
This red jade girl is afraid that she has misunderstood.
