Volume Four, Volume 12, Chapter 24, The True Face of the Corpse
The sharp line of sight directly locks the target in front of you.●⌒
An arrow was placed on the bowstring, and then it completely pulled the bow.
After a long time, the arrow flew out and almost instantly hit the bull's eye!
At this time, there was a clapping sound from behind.
Qi Shuiyu, dressed in white, turned around. The person who applauded behind her was her husband, Xiahou Fangyan.
This is a huge martial arts training ground, an empty ground. On weekdays, it is a place where the children of the Xiahou family clan train their martial arts. Only clan members can enter this place.
"As long as you can't sleep?" Qi Shuiyu lowered his hand slightly and said, "That's right, this night, I'm afraid that no one from the Xiahou clan can sleep peacefully."
"You're right. Especially the Night King, aren't you?"
Speaking of this, some meaningful expressions appeared on his face.
Qi Shuiyu's face suddenly changed slightly.
"What do you want to do?"
The distance between Qishuiyu and Xiahou Fangyan is not very far away. So, she can see Xiahou Fangyan's expression clearly at this moment.
"What do you think I plan to do?" Xiahou Fangyan looked as usual.
"I know you." Qi Shuiyu tightly grasped the bow in his hand, "Are you planning to attack King Ye? No! The head of the family will not..."
But when he said this, the water-chan fish suddenly thought of something.
"Could it be... the head of the family acquiesced you?"
"The map should be controlled in the blood of the Xiahou family. Isn't it?"
Qi Shuiyu shook his head: "King Xiahou Ye, he is also the blood of the Xiahou family."
"Do you really think... he is from the Xiahou family?"
After saying this, Xiahou Fangyan smiled: "Don't worry. A gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall. This family wants to kill Xiahou Yewang as many people as a crucian carp crossing the river. If he can kill him, he would have taken action long ago. The head of the family thought was certainly a reason, but he was not sure. Who dared to attack Yewang? Even if he wanted to do it... it shouldn't be me."
In this way... a name immediately emerged from Qi Shuiyu's mind.
"Is Xiahou... Jiaoyan?"
"I'll shoot an arrow, too."
A arrow was drawn from the quiver behind Qi Shuiyu, then took the bow from her hand, and then quickly pulled the arrow full!
"Water fish, remember. If you seize the opportunity, you must take action quickly and not be indecisive."
"I know. But...if it fails..."
"People always die. If they fail, they will only be decades ahead of time. But once they succeed, it will last for thousands of years for the people of the Xiahou family."
The arrow rushed towards the target as he spoke! Then... he actually penetrated the arrow that Qi Shuiyu had shot through before, and penetrated the center of the circle!
Qi Shuiyu was stunned.
It is not enough to describe how to wear a hundred steps into the willow! Even if Hua Rong resurrected in Water Margin, it cannot be compared with Xiahou Fang's performance!
"In history, before every winner takes the most critical step, he faces a fate that will never be restored after failure. The more he desires, the more he will give."
At this time, Qi Shuiyu hugged Xiahou Fangyan from behind.
"You should know that I have never been to ask for the so-called successive generations. What the Xiahou family does is a taboo thing, a taboo behavior for all mankind."
Holding the bow in his hand, Xiahou Fangyan drew another arrow.
"I was born as a member of the Xiahou family and was destined to be unable to live a mediocre life. If you marry into the Xiahou family, you will never be able to live an ordinary life."
Then, the second arrow shot out again!
Qi Shuiyu closed his eyes. Soon, a tear mark appeared under the corner of his eyes.
She hugged Xiahou Fangyan tightly, as if the next moment, he would disappear from him.
For the Xiahou family, this was an extremely long night. Every minute and every second passed, they were so distressed.
And for Xiahou Jiaoyan, this is even more so.
For the Xiahou family clan, there is no essential difference between the family members and the red-clothed slaves. However, Xiahou Jiaoyan is the most trusted person among the current family members.
And at this moment...
"Is it...here?"
In front of me is a manor with a lantern and a joyful look. This manor can be used directly to serve as a filming location for the Republic of China dramas, and there will never be any sense of incongruity.
This is...it is the venue for the ghost marriage tonight.
And this place that is about to become a "wedding" venue is underway. The final confirmation work is underway.
Of course... the person who supervises his work is still Xiahou Tailan.
When the work was almost going on, Xiahou Jiaoyan came to the courtyard of the manor. Xiahou Tailan was standing there alone. There was no red-clothed slave beside her.
"It's time to leave." Xiahou Jiaoyan said.
However, Xiahou Tailan was motionless.
"Miss Tailan? The map is in your hands, if..."
"Did you do something?"
After hearing this, Xiahou Jiaoyan turned his back to him at the moment, his expression did not change at all.
"I don't understand what you're talking about, Miss Tyran."
"You should know what the consequences will be if there is no map."
The implication is that it is already obviously threatening him.
"Miss Tyran, I still don't understand what you are saying."
"Xiahou Xuanyin. Are you using what she is doing?"
“There has never been such a thing.”
However, for Xiahou Tailan, this perfunctory answer was impossible for her to accept.
"You knew from the beginning who the body in that coffin was, didn't you?"
Xiahou Jiaoyan was silent this time.
She slowly turned around and looked at Xiahou Jiaoyan.
"Did you arrange it so because you know?" Xiahou Tailan said coldly: "From the beginning, you knew that Xiahou Xuanyin was in a state of schizophrenia, right?"
"I just didn't expect it to be so serious. But, wasn't all this planned in advance?"
"You don't need to know this."
Xiahou Jiaoyan and Xiahou Tailan are at about twenty meters at this moment. However, even in this dark courtyard, both sides can still clearly see each other's expressions.
"So... let me guess, is that OK?"
When Xiahou Jiaoyan said this, he started talking nonsense without waiting for Xiahou Tailan to reply.
"I can roughly guess what you choose this day. It was a prophecy that Xiahou Qinglian calculated from a long time ago, right? For you, it is not an exaggeration to you even if Xiahou Qinglian is used until after death, isn't it?"
"So... Xiahou Yuanshu left Minshan to escape his fate? Unfortunately, everything was meaningless. In the end, when Luohu was about to devour the sun, he actually died at the hands of his daughter. Once he died, he must be buried in Minshan within seven days. However, the fact is that the Night King has been paying attention to them. After Xiahou Yuanshu died, he arranged for people to take his body back to Minshan."
"The body in that coffin... is Xiahou Yuanshu, the biological father of Xiahou Xuanyin! Even though he is a family member, he is the blood of the Xiahou family after all. What's more important is that he is Xiahou Qinglian's biological son! So, for you, he is the most suitable role of the 'groom' in this ghost marriage, right?"
Xiahou Tailan was silent.
"It seems that I'm right. The Night King has been monitoring Xiahou Yuanshu and his daughter for many years, right?"
"Did you ask her to open the coffin to confirm your final guess? No... If so, there is no need to do it so exaggeratedly. You should have another idea. However, during the coffin opening, Xiahou Xuanyin didn't open her eyes at once. She didn't even know that the body in the coffin was the biological father who died in her hands!"
At this moment, Xuanyin looked at the corpse. The corpse still did not change any more.
She believed that she could see her father again.
It must be possible.
However, the memory is still chaotic. On that day, after she hit her father to death, what did her father say to her, and why... why did she come to Minshan?
"Xiahou Yuanshu probably never believed Xiahou Qinglian's words. Therefore, he was even more afraid. But at the moment of his death, he finally realized that his fate was ultimately the case. His mother Xiahou Qinglian's prophecy was completely fulfilled in him. That's why he truly realized at that time that escape was meaningless."
When Xiahou Jiaoyan talked about this, he finally came to the conclusion.
"It is not difficult to understand what Xiahou Qinglian asked him before her death, right? She wanted her son to bring the last map of the underworld to the Xiahou family after she died!" (To be continued, please search for Astronomy, the novel is better and faster!
