Suzaku Glimpse Burning Sky Fire Chapter 9: Sword into the Night
When the black shadow on the wooden lattice gate flashed by, Ning Xiaoling opened his eyes.
"Who is it?"
A chill invaded her hands and feet, and she screamed, instantly sobering up.
There was a dead silence.
However, it was only a very short moment, and even Ning Xiaoling's breath and breath were not over, and in the darkness on the right side, an extremely low humming sound accompanied by a dark killing intent suddenly stabbed out.
The sound of the porcelain bottle breaking sounded crisply.
A long knife stabbed between the wooden frame on the right, and the chill had condensed a little, and it went straight to the neck.
It was an extremely dangerous knife, like a poisonous snake that sprang up in an instant under the grass and trees, with amazing speed and deadly killing intent.
And Ning Xiaoling didn't know where the intuitive spirituality came from, but she was aware of it when the porcelain bottle was not broken, and her body reacted backwards, and when the knife intent hit her face, Ning Xiaoling's body had already taken two steps back, and the knife intent of that knife could no longer affect her.
The secret assassin was surprised by her reaction, and he and the girl were separated by a hollowed out cabinet, which prevented him from making a second stab immediately.
Although Ning Xiaoling dodged this shocking knife, she was also so shocked that her hands and feet trembled, and her eyelids trembled.
At this moment, the door was closed, the room was not spacious, and in the darkness, the devouring sharp knife was still aimed at him in the darkness.
Ning Xiaoling had never experienced this, and before she could make any effective response, the click of the long knife breaking through the wood sounded, and the assassin did not choose to directly draw the knife and go around the cabinet again, but directly slapped the handle of the knife, so that the sharp knife came directly into the air, and at the same time, his figure flickered, and at the same time, he quickly came around the cabinet.
Murderous intent returns.
Ning Xiaoling couldn't see where the knife was coming from, only the intuition that was alarmed by the divine sense in her heart suddenly magnified, making her instinctively retreat and lean back.
Wow!
When the blade was about to arrive, the night wind blew outside, and a window was suddenly blown open by the wind, the curtain moved, and the light on the porch shone in, reflecting the sword light into a bright red dot.
It was the window that the Assassin had opened when he entered the house.
In that little bit of thin light, Ning Xiaoling saw the momentum of the knife clearly, and at that moment, Ning Xiaoling's figure was several times faster, she stepped on the ground, her body fell over, she slapped the ground with her palms, and her body jumped to the side between the exchange of palms, and deftly split the fatal knife.
With a clang, the sharp knife had pierced into the partition behind him.
All of this happened for a very short time, and the Assassin's figure came in the darkness, but one of his palms fell into the air, only a little of his clothes were touched.
He didn't have time to think about why the little girl was so quick all of a sudden, but instinctively pulled out the blade with his backhand.
He found himself unable to move.
Immediately afterward, pain erupted from my wrist, as if I had been bitten by something.
The assassin flicked his wrist and shook a snow-white figure down.
It was a snow fox without a tail, and its body was as small as a kitten, but its reaction was extremely fast, and as soon as its feet touched the ground, it jumped like a projectile and jumped in the direction of the girl.
The assassin instantly understood, and then his heart was terrified: "Innate spirit?
Those who can practice in the world are one in a thousand, and those who are born with the embodiment of the spirit are even more one-in-a-thousand.
Ning Xiaoling didn't have the habit of talking nonsense with people, she ran directly through the window with the light, she shouted for help outside the window, and then jumped and was about to break through the window.
The assassin's horror was short-lived, and he instinctively touched his waist, which was a small crossbow.
When Ning Xiaoling jumped, he immediately aimed at the position where the girl's body was about to cross, pulled half of it, and with a bang, the crossbow arrow instantly broke out.
No matter how talented a girl is, she lacks experience in life and death after all.
Her cultivation at the moment was not enough for her to change her speed and position in the air, without a fulcrum and borrowing power.
So after she jumped, the arrow followed her trajectory, and she couldn't avoid it.
The wind tore through, and the little arrow was fast and straight.
The snow-white little fox sensed the killing intent, and its fur exploded, soaring into the air, as if to block this fatal arrow.
But the spirit finally came into being, and it collapsed at the touch of the arrow, crushed into smoke, and flowed back to Ning Xiaoling's Zhihai little by little, her throat was sweet, and the blood didn't have time to spurt out, and the arrow was already close to her waist.
At this moment, the assassin was suddenly shocked.
He rubbed his eyes, wondering if he was dazzled.
The arrow had torn the paper and broken the window and nailed it to the wall, and the figure of the little girl had disappeared out of thin air like a ghost.
Then, suddenly, the door opened.
A handsome young man in green clothes walked in expressionlessly, and in his hand, he was carrying a frightened little girl, who was Ning Xiaoling.
The Assassins are like enemies.
"Go back, don't let me change my mind. The young man in Tsing Yi spread out his palm, and it was a jade plaque.
The assassin was stunned and said, "The jade plate of the Blue and White Division...... What's wrong with you?"
Ning Changchang said: "Seeing this jade plate, you should listen to the order, go back." If you are still unwilling, you can come again, and I will try to kill. ”
As he spoke, Ning Changjiu grabbed the handle of the knife with his backhand and pulled it out, Ning Changjiu shook his arm, and with a bang, the knife sank into his sheath, and the sound of the blade shattering was like a firecracker.
......
......
In that room, the woman's dressing gown was messy and drenched in cold sweat.
She sat down on the bed, still unable to believe what she had just seen.
The formation had been completed, menacing, the young man was obviously like a trapped beast, and in just three breaths, she watched him pick up the palm lamp on the table, and his steps followed the extremely regular direction, a total of seven steps, not a minute later or a breath earlier, in that unbelievable precision, broke out of the formation and came to her.
"That's how I give you. He only said this, and then he didn't talk nonsense, and directly took away the jade plate under her pillow.
It was only at this moment that she suddenly understood that the sincerity he spoke of was powerful.
Because he is strong enough, they must value him and even cater to him.
It's just that...... Why is this young Taoist so powerful?
She took a deep breath and immediately went to find a pen and paper.
No matter what his origin is, no matter which side he will be on, this matter must be known to the young lady for the first time, and the unknown teenager must not be allowed to become the key to affecting the overall situation.
The woman took the pen and paper and whistled outside the door.
By the time her note was ready, and the ink had dried, a small scarlet finch had stopped on the lattice, staring at her with dark eyes.
The woman quickly rolled up the note, and the little finch opened its mouth, took the note directly into its mouth, and flew close to the night with its wings.
The woman sighed long at the vast night mist, and her heart was a little settled.
What happened tonight was so sudden that she couldn't guess what was going to happen behind her, so she had to do what she had to do.
"Yu'er, you...... What are you doing here?"
A voice came from outside the door.
The woman was physically and mentally frightened, she turned her head to look, but saw a nightgown, Zhao Shisong, who was still a little worried, standing at the door at some point, looking at her with a complicated expression.
She was too nervous, and she didn't even pay the slightest attention to Zhao Shisong's arrival!
"Are you ......" Zhao Shisong trembled and raised his hand to point at her, he remembered the scarlet finch that flapped its wings just now, and said in disbelief: "You are her person?"
The woman did not answer, and looked at him with the same complicated expression.
Zhao Shisong didn't feel sleepy anymore, and stomped his feet angrily, "Tang Yu! Where did I treat you badly? You are just a subordinate to her, and what about me? Brocade clothes and jade food, glory and wealth, what did not give it to you? Even if you are sick and evil, I still accompany you for several days, what are you still dissatisfied with?!"
Zhao Shisong's body trembled with excitement, his beard trembled, and the wrinkles at the corners of his eyes became more and more profound.
The woman named Tang Yu said softly: "I know that you treat me well, I know in my heart that you thank you, and I also want to treat you well, but it's just ......"
The emotion in her words faded away until the rain had quietly stopped tonight.
"It's just that twenty days ago, you shouldn't have taken so many people to go to the palace of Niangniang! The moment you left, all this was a foregone conclusion. ”
Zhao Shisong was angry and puzzled, he crossed the threshold, walked quickly in front of her, stared at her young and beautiful face, and said bitterly:
"What kind of magic does that woman have? Although you grew up there, how can you have seen her in your identity? Why are you so stupid and loyal? Although Zhao Xiang'er is back now, she is weak after all...... There's still room for you to turn back, I'm ...... You can be blamed for the past. ”
As he spoke, he reached out to put his hand on her shoulder.
Tang Yu took a step back without leaving a trace, his gaze becoming more and more determined.
"If I am foolish, you are foolish. ”
"Why?"
"You didn't see Niangniang's bones, so you dare to say that Niangniang is dead, isn't it stupid or what?"
"But ......"
Tang Yu didn't want to listen any more, her eyes became colder and colder: "Besides, twenty days ago, many people died in the Qianyu Palace, and some of them were my sisters in the past. ”
Outside the window, there was a sound of birds, and the scarlet finch had gone and returned.
Zhao Shisong glanced at it, his heart was filled with great fear, he finally realized something, immediately retreated, and shouted: "Someone!"
......
Ning Xiaoling's room was full of messes, and the assassin had already left.
Ning Xiaoling recalled Fang Cai's scene, and was still shocked.
She watched helplessly in mid-air as the arrow came as it came by a hand and grabbed her by the arm and dragged her out.
She grabbed Ning Changjiu's hand and almost cried.
It all happened so suddenly tonight.
She pressed her chest, and her heart beat like it beat against her palm, and it was hard to calm down.
She nestled on the bed and looked at her senior brother with a sad face: "Senior brother, let's go back......"
Ning Chang said: "I will find a suitable time to send you back first." ”
Ning Xiaoling said, "What about you, won't you come with me?"
Ning Chang said: "I want to stay here." ”
Ning Xiaoling asked, "Could it be that what is happening in this palace now has something to do with Senior Brother?"
Ning Chang said: "That's their grievance, not my cause and effect." ”
"Hmm......" Ning Xiaoling thought about it, but still had the courage to ask, "What is the cause and effect that Senior Brother is looking for?"
