Seeing Xiao Shitou's panic, Xue Poye felt a little guilty and said softly: "There are assassins in the courtyard. Where are you going? There is murder everywhere here. Don't run around."
Xiao Shitou wanted to carry Liu Jin on his back, but unfortunately, the rush of running had already consumed his huge physical strength and energy, and he almost fell down again. He could only put Liu Jin down, stood up, and faced Xue Poye with star-like eyes.
He was full of vigilance and whispered: "Master...Master!"
Xue Poye saw that his face was red and the beads of sweat were falling down his cheeks under the moonlight. He sighed and asked, "Why do you want to leave?"
Little Shitou pondered for a moment, and finally said: "Master, do you and eldest sister want to harm the little master?"
Xue Poye frowned and asked calmly: "Why do you say that? Do you think the master has always had other motives for you?"
Xiao Shitou looked at Xue Poye, not afraid, and plucked up the courage to say: "But the eldest sister just wants to harm the little master. She said she would take the little master to apply medicine and treat him, but what I saw was nothing like her.
What she said is different, she threw the little master on the table without any treatment at all, and the look in her eyes meant that she wanted to kill the little master."
Xue Poye understood that Xiao Shitou must have seen everything he shouldn't have seen, and his little mind was extremely shrewd. He could see the essence through phenomena, and quickly understood the Green Lady's intentions, so he took advantage of the opportunity to protect Liu Jin.
come out.
Liu Jin usually scolded and beat Xiao Shitou, but he never expected that Xiao Shitou would not leave him behind in critical moments. Xue Poye loved Xiao Shitou's benevolent and righteous character from the bottom of his heart.
Xue Poye suddenly smiled and said softly: "Could it be that you just saw that the eldest sister did not heal the little master, but just looked at her eyes and felt that the eldest sister wanted to harm him? Then did you see the eldest sister take action?"
Xiao Shitou thought for a moment and shook his head.
"That's it." Xue Poye sighed: "Some things may not be believed until they are seen. What's more, you didn't see anything. Do you think you have wronged my eldest sister like this?"
When the breeze blows, the ginkgo trees make a low "rustling" sound.
"Tea!" Xiao Shitou finally said: "I thought about it later. The fact that the little master suddenly fell asleep had something to do with the big sister's cup of tea. Master, can you deny that it has nothing to do with it?"
Xue Poye sighed in his heart. It seemed that he had underestimated Xiao Shitou. This child was not only kind and righteous, but also extremely thoughtful. He even guessed that the problem was in the cup of tea.
Xue Poye took two steps forward, and Xiao Shitou immediately said on alert: "You...don't come over!"
"Little Shitou, you don't have to be afraid. Do you think the master is a bad person?" Xue Poye sighed and stopped helplessly. He didn't really want to be separated from this poor child.
Xiao Shitou looked at Xue Poye's helpless and gentle expression under the moonlight, his eyes turned red, and he said: "Master, you... you are a good person, but... but why do you want to harm my little master?"
Xue Poye sighed softly: "We are not here to hurt him, but to protect him."
"Protect?" Xiao Shitou was stunned, not understanding what Xue Poye meant.
Xue Poye looked at Xiao Shitou's puzzled expression and could only deceive him in good faith: "Actually, your eldest sister and I had already felt that the situation outside was not right before you went to my yard. We were afraid that someone would harm you and the little master, so we just
I can let you take shelter in my yard first."
"Then you...!"
Xue Poye stretched out his hand and said: "I know what you mean. You want to ask why we drugged the tea. This question is simpler. If the little master doesn't go to bed, who can keep him? What if he
If you act willfully and insist on going back, won't you be met by assassins?"
Xiao Shitou blinked his eyes. Although there was still some suspicion in the depths of his eyes, the nervous and angry look before had disappeared a lot.
Although it is far away from the other side of the courtyard, screams and weapons clashing across the night sky come from the wind from time to time. In the thin breeze, you can also hear the guards approaching from all over the Liuheyuan.
The movement coming out.
Although Xiao Shitou thinks beyond his age, has a benevolent nature and a perseverant and cautious personality, he is still a child after all. Although Xue Poye's explanation feels a bit far-fetched, he still believes it.
Xue Poye said again: "Silly boy, you don't even think about it. We have no enmity with the young master, so why do we want to harm him? Moreover, this is a royal palace. If we really harm the young master, how can we escape? Is it possible?
Are we seeking death ourselves?”
When he said this, Xiao Shitou believed it even more. Thinking about it, if Liu Jin was really harmed, Xue Poye and the two would naturally have no choice but to die, and no one would do such a stupid thing.
"Master, I...!" Xiao Shitou lowered his head and apologized: "I wrongly blamed you."
Xue Poye stepped forward, gently touched Xiao Shitou's little head, and said softly: "There are always some things that cannot be seen from the surface. The so-called good people are not absolutely good people. They may be forced to do something because of some persecution."
Or you have no choice but to do something wrong. On the contrary, there are no absolute bad people. If bad people still have a trace of conscience, they will also do incredible good things."
Xiao Shitou nodded obediently and said softly: "I remember what the master said."
Xue Poye chuckled and said, "When you grow up, you will understand many things."
Xiao Shitou's expression suddenly changed and he asked in a low voice: "Master, have you brought someone here?"
"Human?"
He definitely couldn't hear it, but after practicing the "Ecstasy Heart Technique", his sense of the five senses improved by leaps and bounds, and he was no longer the same person as Wu Xia Amen in the past.
Xue Poye held the long bow tightly. Although he did not see who or how many people were behind him, a chill had already risen from his back.
There was a hint of fear in Xiao Shitou's eyes, but he still retreated to Liu Jin's side without hesitation and protected him in front.
Xue Poye turned around and his heart immediately sank.
In the ginkgo forest, several black shadows surrounded us in a fan shape. The big knife in his hand shone with cold light, showing the sharpness of the blade. A chill and murderous aura quickly rose in the forest.
Xue Poye took a quick glance and determined that there were about ten people in this group, all dressed in black and masked with murderous intent.
Of course he didn't know that the murderers were divided into three groups this time. The murderers from the west and south had already broken into Liu Jin's yard and suffered heavy casualties. However, the road to the north was farther away because of the twists and turns.
It was far away, and he came closer at this time. Who knew that before he reached this place, Xue Poye and Xiao Shitou appeared. Xiao Shitou looked like a child, which immediately alerted the murderers and quietly pounced towards them in a fan shape.
"No!" The leader of the murderer saw Xiao Shitou's face under the moonlight, which was different from the portrait presented by his master, and immediately denied that it was Liu Jin.
A murderer nearby reminded: "Underground!"
Sure enough, on the ground behind the little stone, there was a child in brocade clothes lying on the ground.
The leader just took a vague look in the dark night and determined that it was his target. He waved his sword and said in a deep voice: "Kill without mercy!"
The meaning is very simple. In addition to Liu Jin, Xue Poye and Xiao Shitou must also be killed.
Ten wild wolves flashed their fangs and lunged forward in a fan shape.
Xue Poye knew better than anyone else that if there was no miracle, he would definitely be buried here today. Although he did not fight, but with the spicy methods of these people, Xue Poye could even imagine that they could sneak into Liuheyuan, and even
Having already arrived at this place, it has been shown how good their dark night skills are. I am afraid that any one of them can tear themselves into pieces.
"Little Shitou, let's go!" At the critical moment, Xue Poye yelled. Even if there was only one chance, he would give Xiao Shitou some time to leave the ginkgo forest. As long as he went out, there might be supporting guards.
Draw the arrow, bend the bow, nock the arrow, pull the string, and shoot!
Completed in one go, after the baptism of "Ecstasy Mind Technique", everything happened twice as fast as before.
Sharp arrows are like stars, piercing the air and shooting out quickly!
Xue Poye himself may not have thought that the force of his arrow would be several times stronger than the original force, so after the arrow came out, its speed had reached a new height.
This height also produces a power that cannot be underestimated.
"puff"!
With a muffled sound, this extremely fast and sharp arrow shot through the heart of a murderer. The man fell to the ground, as if he did not expect that this sharp arrow was so fast and sharp. He twitched slightly and then
That is death.
Not only did the deceased not expect it, Xue Poye also did not expect that his arrow would be so powerful. If he knew that the deceased was actually a night killer who had been trained for many years, and his actual ability had even reached the level of a five-way master, he would have been even more dismayed.
shock.
Xiao Shitou stayed there, and only then did he realize that his master was really a powerful character. In such a critical situation, he had no time to admire him and shouted: "Master, let's go."
Xue Poye shouted: "Leave quickly, or if you don't, we will all die." As he spoke, another sharp arrow was shot out.
Although the murderers were surprised for a moment, their figures did not stop, and they had already surrounded Xue Poye and the other three.
Naturally, these murderers would not waste their time talking nonsense, so they rushed straight up. Two murderers, one on the left and one on the right, had already slashed down on Xue Poye with their two big knives.
These two knives are simple and fast, without any tricks, but very practical.
Xue Poye only saw two sword lights coming, and he could not avoid it. Since these people only wanted to kill the enemy with one blow, they naturally would not leave any room for it. The upper and lower roads were blocked. In desperation, his neck shook slightly.
Side, swing the bow across.
With a "click", the long bow and the broadsword clashed, and he was immediately cut into two pieces, while another broadsword also slashed at him in an instant. Fortunately, Xue Poye dodged quickly, but the broadsword had already passed over his shoulder, and pieces of clothing were flying.
, cut off a piece of meat, and blood came out.
Murderers have an order of murderers, but unfortunately their order does not stipulate that they cannot bully the less. The moment two murderers in black attacked Xue Poye, one of the murderers raised the knife without mercy.
He chopped at the small stone.
Xue Poye roared angrily. At this moment, he seemed to burst out with infinite power. He somehow found the cold blade at his waist and rushed over with lightning speed, blocking Xiao Shitou's body with his head.
It hit the murderer's shoulder hard, and the cold blade in his hand also penetrated the murderer's abdomen.
The murderer's eyes were bulging, and he would not believe it until he died.
Several of the murderers were also very surprised. They didn't know what they would think if they knew that the person who killed their companions had only just begun to understand martial arts, and was not even a second-level martial artist.
One arrow dodges one person, one knife stabs one person. They are well-trained murderers, but Xue Poye killed two of them in the blink of an eye.
Xiao Shitou turned pale and said in a trembling voice: "Master...Master...!"
Xue Poye's shoulder was bleeding, dripping to the ground.
The leader's exposed eyes showed a vicious and murderous look. He gripped the sword tightly and after a few ups and downs, he actually committed suicide himself.
With his ability, Xue Poye probably has no chance of winning at this time.
"Boooooooooh"!
This sound is like a sharp arrow piercing the sky, but it is fundamentally different from a sharp arrow.
This sound is more elegant and freehand.
If a voice sounds very expressive, then the things it does will certainly not be vulgar.
When the leader pounced on Xue Poye, this strange sound suddenly sounded in the air that was already filled with murderous aura. Before the murderers could react, they heard three screams and the three murderers had already turned over and fell to the ground.
In horror, their companions saw that almond leaves were embedded in the throats of the three deceased!
As green as a knife.
The sound just now was the sound of leaves breaking through the air.
He originally rushed toward Xue Poye's collar, but he suddenly stopped, with horror in his eyes, and turned his head to look deep into the forest.
In the apricot forest under the moonlight, the shadows of the trees were whirling and dim. In the forest, a strange shadow suddenly appeared. Although it was not very clear, everyone could see the outline of this person. The old body looked like a figure outside.
A palace robe only worn by eunuchs.
The old eunuch was like the King of Hell emerging from hell, looking here coldly and indifferently, his withered old hands drooping. If you look carefully, you can find that his hands are shaking slightly.
He looked like a dying old man, but everyone present knew that this was certainly not a dying eunuch.
"Flying Flowers Chasing the Moon!"
The murderer couldn't help but take a step back in appreciation, and his remaining four subordinates also stepped back slightly.
They are a group of murderers. They are already hard-hearted. Not only do they not care about the lives of others, but they also take their own lives very lightly. But when they saw this eunuch and the strange aura emanating from him, they decided to kill people.
The victims felt a fear they had never experienced before.
Only real murderers can smell the breath of death, and they have already smelled this breath from this old eunuch.
"So you understand!" the old eunuch sighed softly, his voice old and hoarse.
The leader sneered and said: "Fei Hua Zhu Yue, that is a leaf-picking and killing stunt that can only be mastered by an eighth-level warrior. It turns out that the old senior is actually an eighth-level warrior. It is their blessing that they died under your hands."
"A dead person is a dead person, this is not a blessing." The old eunuch said calmly: "No one needs this blessing."
"Since the old man has become the Eighth Path, he should give up the worldly conflicts and enter the emptiness. Why should he care about these things?" the leader said through gritted teeth.
The old eunuch did not answer, but said calmly: "When people get old, they will miss many things in the world. It is not a good idea to let an old man wait quietly for death. There must be something done."
The leader stared at the old eunuch, was silent for a moment, and finally said: "So you are the old monster in Changqing Palace!"
Changqing Palace is the palace of the eldest princess in Kyoto.
"Your master asked you to come here just to send you to death." The old eunuch sighed: "Actually, you yourself know this."
"Qin Wuhen!" The leader murmured: "Wuhen is heartbroken, it seems that today we all will die in the hands of this old monster like you."
Qin Wuhen was of course the nickname of Eunuch Qin. He had a weird smile on his face: "You are destined to die in this game of chess."
The leader's body trembled and he lost his voice: "You...what did you say?"
"Only if you die will someone think that we have no future troubles and have relaxed our vigilance. Only in this way will he take action in this flaw that is not a flaw." A cold smile appeared at the corner of Eunuch Qin's mouth: "And we
What we are waiting for is for him to take action."
Eunuch Qin said this as if he wanted to make these people's deaths clearer. Unfortunately, these people certainly didn't know that their master had designed them to be dead, let alone the back-up plan their master had left behind. On the contrary, the eldest princess was eager to
needed.
These weird conspiracies are always destined to end before they even begin.
The leader's sword suddenly shook slightly, and the four murderers slowly approached the leader. Judging from their appearance, they seemed to be preparing to escape.
Xue Poye discovered that the footsteps of these people seemed to be scattered, but the lines were extremely clear. With a little effort, they could attack the sleeping Liu Jin on the ground with five swords.
Eunuch Qin walked over slowly, coughing lightly.
"kill!"
With a loud shout, the five murderers at the same time, with the belief that they would die, used all their strength and turned towards Liu Jin with five swords at the same time.
Xue Poye felt a sharp pain in his shoulder, but he still wanted to grit his teeth to stop it. He held up the cold blade and was about to attack him, but found that a small stone had already fallen on Liu Jin, protecting Liu Jin with all his strength.
Eunuch Qin shook his head, raised his withered right hand, and five streams of energy shot out.
This is the Tianyuan energy that can be released only after joining the ranks of eight warriors, killing enemies invisibly.
"Puff puff puff puff"!
There were four muffled sounds, and the energy was like a sharp arrow, piercing directly into the backs of the four murderers. The four murderers had no chance to dodge. The energy entered their bodies and was frozen in place for a moment, unable to move.
After all, a leader is a leader. Eunuch Qin's energy hit him, but he tried his best to avoid it. At this moment, he rolled to the ground, turned to one side, and had already slipped to Xiao Shitou and Liu Jin.
Beside him, the sword slashed again.
This was his life-saving strike, perhaps his last strike in this world, and its power was terrifying.
Seeing that the big knife was about to hit the small stone, possibly even hitting Liu Jin, he heard a "choking" sound, Xue Poye's cold blade had already taken action, and collided with the big knife, and the big knife immediately broke into two pieces.
The moment Xue Poye's cold blade touched the broadsword, although the cold blade broke the broadsword with its own sharpness, a force of energy from the broadsword rushed straight down along the cold blade, and his whole arm went numb first, and then
The whole body felt as if it had been hit hard by a hammer. It was extremely unbearable. The chest was rolling, the throat was sweet, and a large mouthful of blood spurted out.dd
