Chapter 173: The third watch wandered around in the middle of the night

"Tuk, tuk. "The husband patrolled the street and knocked three times.

In the blink of an eye, when the hour came, all that remained in the town was the sound of slumber from the houses, and even the only light that had been lit in the inn had been extinguished.

The streets were empty and silent.

At this moment, a figure suddenly came out of the inn, and without closing the door behind him, he walked directly onto the street.

The figure is neither fast nor slow, moving at an almost even speed, and even the stride of each step is surprisingly consistent.

The figure walked like this, turning a street and crossing a small bridge, without stopping all the way.

Until I passed a street corner, I suddenly stopped.

There are a few pieces of wood that have been burned to black charcoal on the street corner, and the original sparks have long since been extinguished.

There was a man lying next to the charcoal, wearing only a thin coat, curled up in the corner, not knowing whether he was asleep or not, and shivering from time to time.

This person is supposed to be a disaster victim who has come to the town from a nearby disaster area to take refuge.

The figure stopped next to the victim, but its eyes did not look at him.

All that happened around the corner fell into the eyes of a woman standing in the shadows not far away.

She frowned, silently chanting something, only to see the figure suddenly shake all over, raise her right foot and want to move on, but at this time a slight cough came from the mouth of the victim, like an invisible magic, supporting the figure hanging in the air with its right foot, unable to fall for a long time.

Slowly, the figure withdrew its right foot, took off its coat, and covered the victim's body.

But throughout the process, the figure's eyes still did not look at the victims, his eyes were empty and his face was dull.

Seeing this scene, the woman in the shadows was a little shocked, and even forgot to continue reciting the mantra in her mouth.

A series of thoughts rolled through her mind, and a look of hesitation gradually appeared on her face.

After a while, she came back to her senses, and suddenly found that the figure beside the corner was gone, so she hurriedly rushed out and quickly chased after the traces left by the figure.

In a dense forest on the outskirts of the town, the richly dressed figure walked slowly through the woods until it came to a cliff and stopped.

The moonlight shone on the figure's face, reflecting his delicate facial features.

Li Cheng'an is very beautiful, a typical handsome boy.

But at this time, there was no brightness in his eyes, and he lost the vitality that a person should have.

He was very close to the edge of the cliff, and the cold cliff wind swayed the corners of his clothes, but it did not blow his hair away.

His face was very calm, unusually calm, as if there was a smile on the corner of his mouth, probably because he was happy that he had just passed by the vicinity of the victims and reached out to help him.

He is such a person, and he always has someone else in his heart.

Just as Li Cheng'an arrived at the cliff, a short sword silently appeared in the dense forest not far behind him.

Hearing only a whoosh, the sword-wielding man quickly attacked, aiming at Li Chengan's heart.

Seeing that the tip of the sword was about to pierce the skin and penetrate the red heart, suddenly, a soft wind floated from the air, rolled up the dagger, deflected it a few inches, and stabbed it in the air.

The man holding the dagger frowned, and just as he wanted to continue the assassination, he saw a figure fall in front of her, holding her hands.

"Sister, what are you doing here?" The person holding the dagger was also a woman, and she seemed to recognize the figure that appeared.

This figure is Mu Qinglian.

Mu Qinglian shook her head and said softly, "I don't think we have to kill him. ”

The other party frowned, and asked a little puzzled: "This is the palace master's order, does my sister want to disobey?"

"The palace master only wants Li Chengan to disappear from this world, and he didn't say that he must be killed, we can imprison him, and if he is dissolved, he will not cause any trouble, so the result is the same. ”

After listening to Mu Qinglian's words, the other party said with a serious face: "I'm sorry, sister, we must listen to the palace master's orders." ”

As soon as the words fell, the sharp dagger attacked again, but was stopped by Mu Qinglian in time.

"Sister, disobey the palace master's orders three times and twice, what are you going to do!"

"This, can you wait a little longer and start later?" Mu Qinglian also hesitated a little and asked softly.

At this moment, suddenly, a powerful aura came from the forest, quickly approaching the edge of the cliff.

Before the two women could react, Gao Sheng's tall figure fell from the sky and fell in front of the two.

When he saw Li Chengan standing motionless on the edge of the cliff, his face was demented, and his sword eyebrows suddenly stood up.

When he saw Mu Qinglian's delicate face, his anger was even worse, and the intense anger in his eyes gradually turned into coldness, the coldness of death.

Seeing Gao Sheng coming, taking advantage of Mu Qinglian's attention to be attracted by Gao Sheng, the woman holding the dagger turned around and quickly stabbed Li Cheng'an in the back of the heart.

But Gao Sheng is not an ordinary person, the moment he appeared, he was filled with deep internal force all over his body, and the Void Arrow was faintly ready to be fired.

The moment he saw the woman attack, the Void Arrow moved in response and shot directly into the woman's right hand with the dagger at an incredible speed.

Hearing an ouch, the Void Arrow pierced directly through his arm, and bright red blood shot out in all directions.

As soon as the arrow came out, the follow-up arrows came one after another, aiming at the major vital points on Mu Qinglian and the others.

The two women hurriedly retreated while blocking, jumping away from the place, taking advantage of this gap, Gao Sheng jumped to Li Cheng'an's side, and was about to rescue him.

And the dagger woman didn't want to give up her efforts, and when Gao Sheng landed unsteadily, she rushed over against the ground and attacked the next plate, so that the opponent could not stand firmly.

In the chaos, the woman accidentally touched Li Chengan's body.

Li Cheng'an was completely unconscious because of Mu Qinglian's forgetfulness in the tea, and when he was touched lightly, his body naturally fell forward, and in front of him was the abyss.

Li Chengan's fall frightened Gao Sheng and Mu Qinglian.

Seeing Gao Sheng take a step forward, he wanted to hold Li Chengan, but when he saw a soft wind coming, he arrived one step ahead of him and held Li Chengan's body.

Gao Sheng thought that Mu Qinglian had a bad intention, so he instantly slapped his palm, cut off the soft wind, and stretched out his hand to grab Li Cheng'an.

At this moment, a sharp light flashed, and the dagger appeared again, accurately stabbing at Gao Sheng's hand that held Li Chengan.

Gao Sheng only felt a sharp pain coming from his hand, which provoked him to let go, and then immediately counterattacked.

He was confident that he would still have time to save Li Cheng'an after he killed the woman.

But at this time, Mu Qinglian had already rushed over and reached out to pull Li Cheng'an, and the dagger woman was bent on treating Li Cheng'an to death, risking being hit by Gao Sheng, and knocked Mu Qinglian away, so that Mu Qinglian not only did not catch Li Cheng'an, but also touched him to accelerate the falling speed.

In this way, Li Chengan fell from the cliff, the dagger woman was shattered by Gao Sheng's palm, and Mu Qinglian knelt on the side of the cliff with a painful face.
