There was also the faint sound of something passing quickly through the forest...
But rather than being brought by people, she prefers the subtle noises caused by some kind of animal passing through the forest.
And if it were a human being, he must be a master with extraordinary skills, one among ten thousand.
Thinking of this, Xu Mingyi subconsciously looked at the young man beside him.
In the darkness, the young man with a cold profile had an unclear expression, but his feet never moved again, and his arm was still lying across her body, obviously concentrating on judging something.
Xu Mingyi just stood where he was without making any movement.
After standing like this in silence for about half a quarter of an hour, I saw a spark suddenly light up in front of me on the right. Although the spark was weak, it was particularly eye-catching in the dark mountain.
Someone is really coming!
"Young Master...!" Sui Jiang immediately clenched his fingers and looked at Wu Chao, asking for instructions in his low voice.
Wu Chao nodded slightly.
The next moment, the arrow shot by Suijiang pierced through the mountain forest, and the sound it made resounded throughout the valley.
In order to avoid alerting others, Wu Chao only brought Xu Mingyi and Sui Jiang into the mountain. Xiao Qi, who arrived shortly afterwards, secretly guarded the area with secret guards, using the sound of arrows as a signal. If the trumpet sounded, they would immediately gather around them.
And this sound could reach the ears of Xiao Qi and others, so it naturally alarmed the people in the mountain.
When the man heard the sound, his expression suddenly changed. He didn't even bother to put out the fire paper at his feet, and immediately stood up to run away.
But at this moment, a hidden arrow broke through the night and came straight in his direction.
He had keen senses and was about to dodge, but the opponent fired several arrows again, all of which blocked his escape route, greatly delaying his opportunity to leave——
Soon, he noticed someone approaching him very quickly. In the cold night, a cold sword light flashed, approaching him without any explanation!
His pupils shrank, he leaned back and retreated continuously. The sword fell above his head and swept the hat on his head to the ground.
Wu Chao did not rush to attack again, but withdrew his sword and looked at the opponent coldly.
The man stabilized his figure and raised his eyes to look over, revealing a face with a messy beard.
He was wearing a coarse cloth robe, and his hair was tied on top of his head with a worn-out peach wood hairpin. His hair on the temples was slightly loose and messy. Dressed like this, he looked much older than he actually was - but those pair of
The sharp eagle eyes are not misunderstood at all.
"Sui Shan...it's really you! You're really still alive!" Sui Jiang looked at his former sibling companion in disbelief.
Still alive...that means that he really betrayed the young master and even almost caused the young master's death!
Suishan did not respond to his words. After a brief moment of silence, he looked at the handsome young man holding the sword in his hand and said in a low voice: "How did you know that your subordinates would be here?"
Wu Chao's voice was without warmth: "Today is the death anniversary of your parents. I expect you will come to pay your respects."
A look of surprise flashed in Suishan's eyes.
He never mentioned the anniversary of his parents' death to anyone, not even Sui Jiang.
Wu Chao looked at him, his voice indifferent and calm: "Many years ago, one day I saw you wearing a piece of white cloth on your waist under your outer robe. Later I learned that your parents were from Xiling Mountain and unfortunately died in the war - the world is uncertain.
Before, there was a bloodbath near Xiling Mountain, and many hunters were buried in the mountain. It’s not hard to guess, isn’t it?”
And his former subordinate had always acted cautiously. Even if he didn't realize that someone was secretly pursuing him, if he wanted to worship, he would definitely choose to go into the mountain after dark. This was also not difficult to guess.
Therefore, after he initially found out that the other party was still alive, he did not let anyone continue to pursue him. Ordinary tracking methods would not be able to catch Suishan, and would only alert the snake.
Even today, he chose to take people out of the city temporarily rather than ambush in advance. Only in this way could he ensure that the plan would not be discovered.
A faint wry smile escaped from the corner of Suishan's mouth.
With that being said, it seems that it is indeed not difficult to guess.
But he only secretly hid a piece of white cloth around his waist on the tenth anniversary of the death of his father and mother. Unexpectedly, the young master saw it and wrote it down.
And no wonder that for many years after that, during the few days before and after the death anniversary of his parents, he was always free, and the young master would hardly arrange any urgent errands for him——
It turned out that the time was specially left for him to go out of the city to pay homage to his parents.
The young master has a cold face. Although he never knows what he says, he has always been considerate of his subordinates. This is one of the reasons why he and Sui Jiang have always been willing to stay with the young master.
And it is natural that he would fall into the hands of the young master this time.
"Sure enough, the young master knows things well, and my subordinates are convinced." He raised his head and looked at the young man, with the same respect in his eyes as before.
The young man pointed the sword at him again and said, "Come back with me and explain the matter clearly."
Suishan reached his hands behind his back and said with determination in his eyes: "I beg your pardon for my difficulty in obeying my order."
Seeing him draw his sword, Sui Jiang's eyes burst out with anger, and his tone was painful and angry: "Even now, you still don't know how to repent!"
This man who betrayed his master actually wanted to draw his sword on the young master again...!
Today he will definitely catch him with his own hands and go back to ask for details!
Sui Jiang also pulled out his long sword and angrily attacked Sui Shan.
Suishan could only block but not attack, and was always waiting for an opportunity to escape.
But he soon heard noises coming from everywhere - many people were approaching here...
It seems that the young master is bound to win this time, and it is impossible for him to escape easily!
After all, he is a person who has carved a way out of the sea of blood since he was a child. His survival instinct made him quickly notice a person——
Not far away, burning paper ignited dry grass and fallen leaves. The fire was blown by the wind, and the vision flickered between light and dark. It became increasingly clear that the young man standing beside the grave had red lips, fair skin, bright eyebrows and bright eyes, and a slender figure that did not look like a man.
Suishan dodged Suijiang's fight and headed towards Xu Mingyi very quickly.
"Be careful!" Wu Chao's expression suddenly changed and he immediately stepped forward.
Xu Mingyi frowned slightly.
The next moment, she suddenly raised her hand, and a long needle flew out from her fingers, hitting the arm of the person coming towards her.
Suishan felt a slight pain, but he didn't care about it. He didn't stop his steps. However, soon, he felt that his movements became inexplicably slow, and his body gradually became stiff and kept moving.
The long knife fell from his hand, and he raised his hand with difficulty, touching his arm where the pain was getting worse, only to realize that the long needle had completely submerged into his flesh and blood.
He couldn't help but look at the girl who was already protected by Wu Chao in surprise.
He only thought that this was a weak girl pretending to be a man, and he could find a way out of her. Unexpectedly, not only was there no way out, but it was actually... a dead end?
Before he could think about anything else, a huge dizziness hit him and he quickly fell to the ground.
"..." Wu Chao turned to look at Xu Mingyi, his eyes a little confused.
...This scene is somewhat bizarre.
Miss Xu can't explain to him... what just happened?
