Chapter Twenty-Six: Attacked
Early the next morning
I don't know when the rain outside the window stopped, and the room in the inn was dim and I couldn't see clearly. The girl lying on the bed opened her eyes, she got up from the bed, sat on the edge of the bed and put on her boots.
Go to the window and push it open. There was a gloomy cloud in the sky, and although it was not raining, it was still not very good.
Xiao Yunmi stood by the window, exhaling a cloudy breath with her eyes closed, breathing in the fresh air outside the window. Outside the inn is a street, although it is not as prosperous as the capital, but it is still a lively scene.
Businesses open early, and most of the shops on the street are open. The streets were lined with stalls, and across the street from the inn was a stall selling breakfast. The steamed bun seller opened the steamer, a white mist drifted in the wind, and the hawker's shouting could be heard in the ears.
"Selling steamed buns, freshly baked buns. ”
I don't know when I fell asleep last night, I didn't eat dinner, and now Xiaoyunmi's stomach is already rumbling with hunger.
She reached out and rubbed her sour eyes, and went to pack her things. Walking downstairs with the baggage, Xiao Yunmi thought that he was early, but he didn't expect Ning Zi to get up at this moment. She met Ning Zi at the corner of the stairs Ning Zi saw Xiao Yunmi, like a mouse seeing a cat, and immediately buried her head.
Xiao Yunmi felt that something was wrong, why was Ning Zi so afraid of her all night?
She frowned and asked as she walked, "Something?"
Ning Zi raised her head and glanced at her master with strange eyes, and quickly lowered her head. Hurriedly replied, "No, it's fine." ”
Xiao Yunmi turned his head, looking a little displeased. The voice aggravated: "Say!"
Ning Zi saw that her master was angry, and immediately knelt on her knees, and she wanted to speak and stopped: "Last night, last night......"
Xiao Yunmi reached out and held his forehead, "What was last night, you said." I won't blame you. ”
Ning Zi whispered: "Last night, I went to ask Gongzi to go downstairs for dinner, but I saw Su, Young Master Su came out of your house Young Master Su also asked me not to disturb you, so that you can have a good rest." Speaking of the back, Ning Zi's voice became smaller and smaller, and she knelt on one knee and carefully observed Xiao Yunmi's expression.
Thinking of last night, Xiao Yunmi's expression was a little unnatural. I heard Ning Zi say again: "Childe, you and ...... Young Master Su"
Xiao Yunmi hurriedly waved his hand to interrupt the topic and walked downstairs with steps.
"Let's go downstairs and have breakfast. ”
"Yes. ”
Ning Zi stood up and followed behind Xiao Yunmi.
The cook of the inn asked for leave, and the shopkeeper went to the doctor in a hurry to find a second child to cook. The dishes made are almost the same as Su Minhang's ginger soup, and Xiao Yunmi can't taste it even when he smells it.
She took the chopsticks and flipped the fried green vegetables on the plate, this is so delicious? Xiao Yunmi put her eyes on the steamed sea bass on the side again, stretched out the chopsticks to grab a small piece, the fish meat was a little hard, she struggled to clamp a piece, the chopsticks put in front of her eyes, there were still a few fish scales shining on the fish.
Ning Zi is used to eating coarse tea and light rice, but she doesn't pick her mouth, she took a chopstick of green vegetables and put it in her mouth. Her face distorted a little, and she chewed mechanically before she could barely swallow it.
She looked at her master's gloomy face and said in a low voice, "Childe, do you want to go down and arrest Xiao Er, who cooks, and beat him?"
Xiao Yunmi put the chopsticks on the table heavily, stood up and walked out of the inn.
"You're waiting for me here. ”
Xiaoyun Mi followed the street and walked to the stall selling steamed buns that he saw through the window. The stall owner was kneading the dough on the side, and the woman was standing in front of the steamer selling the buns, and when the buns were finished, she took the copper plates in her hand and counted them one by one. Turning his head to see the sweat on the man's head, he took a handkerchief in his hand and wiped the sweat from his face.
The woman wiped her husband's sweat in distress, and said while counting: "Look at you, it's only morning, and you're sweating." ”
The man kneaded the dough in his hand, turned his head and smiled innocently at his daughter-in-law.
Although poor, he is happy. On such a day, how many people ask for it.
The proprietress saw Xiao Yunmi standing in front of her stall and asked her enthusiastically, "The little boy wants to buy buns?"
Xiao Yunmi came back to his senses and nodded, "Give me ten buns." ”
"Okay. ”
The proprietress wrapped the bun in oiled paper and handed it to Xiaoyunmi. smiled: "Two copper plates, one for you, little boy, you buy more discounts, just give eighteen copper plates." ”
When he went out, he brought some copper coins with him, and Xiao Yunmi escaped from the money bag in his arms, counted the copper coins and handed them to the proprietress.
"Thank you. ”
Su Minxing and Ning Yuan went downstairs together, and Ning Yuan saw Ning Zi sitting at the table, and greeted her with a smile: "Morning." ”
Ning Zi said indifferently: "Morning." ”
Su Minxing sat at the table, frowned and asked, "What about Yunmi?"
Ning Zi didn't know what she thought, her face was not very good. He replied in a cold voice: "My young lady has gone out and will be back in a while." ”
"Early in the morning, what is she doing out?"
"I don't know. ”
Ning Yuan sat at the table and flipped through the dishes on the table with chopsticks. Indignantly, he said, "This, can you eat these things?"
Xiao Yunmi heard Ning Yuan's surprised and dissatisfied voice at the door, and she walked in with a bun in her arms.
She divided more than half of the buns to Su Minxing and Ning Yuan, and she and Ning Zi were two by themselves.
She sat down at the table and said, "This dish is simply not for the sake of eating, I went to the street to buy steamed buns, let's eat it quickly, and hurry away after eating." ”
Su Minxing was very happy to see Xiao Yunmi, and sat beside her with a bun. Laughing: "Okay." ”
Maybe it was because of last night's honesty, Xiao Yunmi was very uncomfortable seeing Su Minxing. She lowered her head and gulped down the hot bun in her hand, the bun was very large and stuffed with meat, and it tasted good, she took a bite and commented in her heart.
Su Minxing saw that Xiaoyun was ignoring him, and called her name pitifully.
"Yunmi. ”
Ning Yuan almost choked on his throat with a mouthful of buns, and he forcibly swallowed them. Looking at Su Minxing in disbelief, this... Is this still his young master? His young master has always been very cold!
Looking at Ning Yuan, who was stunned, Ning Zi pulled him who didn't know him to sit at another table and eat steamed buns.
Xiao Yunmi's face was as usual, but the tips of her ears were slightly red. She pretended not to hear and continued to eat the bun with her head down.
Su Minxing propped his head and looked at the clouds, his long eyebrows were like ink and his skin was like jade under the faint light and shadow. He bit his bright red lower lip, and his voice became even more aggrieved.
"Yunmi. ”
Xiao Yunmi picked up the bun wrapped in oiled paper on the table, and threw it on Su Minxing without raising his head.
Her face was cold, and she said slowly in a low voice: "If you don't eat it again, the buns will be cold." ”
The two tacitly did not mention last night's incident, and the way they got along was still the same as before. However, Su Minxing could feel that Xiao Yunmi's attitude towards him had improved, and this situation had been put in the past.
He could imagine that the girl would first glance at him coldly, and then sneered, "If you scream again, cut off your tongue." ”
Su Minxing was smiling, and he was in a good mood eating the buns that Xiaoyunmi gave him.
After breakfast, the group continued to ride on the road, generally speaking, it takes at least three days to go to Jingzhou, and the trail they copied should be closer.
However, yesterday's rain delayed time, and I don't know if we can reach Jingzhou today.
Su Minhang and Xiao Yunmi rode in front, and there were three forks in the road in front of them, and they stopped.
Ning Yuan looked at it with a map in his back, and after a while, Ning Yuan raised his head and pointed to the road on the right, and said loudly, "Young Master go that way." ”
So Xiao Yunmi and Su Minxing rode their horses to the road pointed out by Ning Yuan, and everyone rode along the trail. Because of the rain yesterday, the path was muddy, and the horses' hooves splashed muddy water on the ground.
There are many trees planted along the path, and the further you go, the darker it becomes. At some point, black crows hovered above their heads, and the forest was quiet and terrible except for the crows.
Su Minhang noticed that something was wrong, and he pulled the reins of the horse and stopped. Seeing Su Minxing stop, Ning Yuan Ningzi behind him also stopped.
"Phew!"
Of course, Xiao Yunmi also noticed it, and she turned her head to meet Su Minxing's gaze. The four looked at each other, and they all understood the meaning in each other's eyes.
Ning Yuan asked, "Young Master, what's wrong?"
Ning Zi was next to Ning Yuan and reached out to pat him on the top of his head. Whispered, "You idiot, shut up!"
There was a rustling sound in the grass ahead, and Xiao Yunmi's hand rested on the sword at his waist. Her face became solemn, and Su Minxing leaned over and whispered in her ear: "Be careful later." ”
Xiao Yunmi nodded and said, "Yes." ”
At this moment, a group of masked black-clothed people came out of the grass in the woods beside the road, about a dozen people. With a big knife in his hand, he quickly went over and surrounded the four of them.
The man in black who led the way sneered and said, "Even if you find out, you won't be able to escape from the palm of my hand." ”
"Kill them, brothers, let's go and ask for money!"
The voice of the leader in black fell, and the other men in black launched an attack on Su Minxing and Xiao Yunmi.
Ning Zi and Ning Yuan each stepped forward to protect their masters.
"Young Master, be careful!"
"Miss be careful!"
There was a sword light in front of him, and Xiao Yunmi drew his sword and stopped the broadsword cut down by an assassin. She exuded anger all over her body, and a hint of fierceness flashed in her eyes.
With a snort, a man in black was cut off by Xiao Yunmi's sword at the waist, and his body fell to the ground in two.
Several other Assassins approached, one slashing her in the back, another slashing her in the neck, and one stabbing her in the chest.
Xiao Yunmian leaned back, dodging the opponent's sword. With one hand on the ground, the other hand holding a sword stabbed the assassin who attacked her from behind.
The Assassin fell to the ground, struggled for a moment, and then vomited blood and died. Xiao Yunmian turned over and twisted the head of the person in front of him with his foot, twisting the person's neck. Xiao Yunmi's martial arts are not weak, but two fists are difficult to defeat four hands, not to mention that these are well-trained professional assassins.
Another assassin took advantage of the gap to slash at her with a big knife, and Su Minhang was also surrounded by several assassins, and when he saw that person sneaking up on Xiaoyunmi, his heart twitched, and he grabbed the hand of an assassin with his hand, snatched the sword from the assassin's hand, and kicked the assassin away.
"Be careful!"
Ning Zi rushed up and held the sword against the man's knife, and Xiao Yunmian cut off the man's head with a sword.
Blood gushed out of the corpse and splashed onto Xiaoyunmi's face, and she wiped a handful of blood from her face with her hands.
The Mingyun Sword glowed with a cold light, and blood dripped from the tip of the sword. Xiao Yunmi's face was cold and ruthless, and the whole person was like a bloodthirsty rakshasa who came out of hell. She walked over and fought with a few of the Assassins, neatly eliminating the remaining ones.
