The young man standing guard outside obviously heard the unusual movement in the wooden house. He immediately put his finger to his lips and a sharp and loud whistle sounded through the forest.
Soon, someone gathered around the wooden house.
Listening to the movement, it is obvious that there is more than one.
The person dressed as a girl in the wooden house frowned slightly, and knocked out the man in long gown who was controlled by him with one palm.
After being knocked unconscious, he loosened his grip and kicked the person far away. The force was so strong that the broken table was knocked over to the ground.
"I asked you to touch my face! Get out of here!"
The man cursed, his words in a rough tone that did not match his appearance and body shape.
The accomplices of the man in long gown have already surrounded the house.
The other party had an accomplice, and he didn’t come alone. The girl also arranged a helper for him——
Just thinking about this helper who has yet to show up, the man's expression can't help but be a little complicated.
Just when he felt that this helper was too unreliable, he suddenly saw a black shadow flying over and landing steadily on the window in front of him.
One person, one bird, and four eyes looked at each other for a moment, and the man was stunned for a moment.
...it actually came.
There really is something about this bird.
Forced himself to overcome the strange feeling of working with the same bird, the man spoke the agreed code: "Go and report the news!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw the big bird flying out.
"What happened inside? Is the person unconscious?"
Someone in charge raised his voice and asked outside the house.
Someone else laughed and said: "Don't be busy doing good things..."
There was no reply from inside the house.
"Just now I heard the sound of fighting... maybe something went wrong." The young man who just led the way whispered: "Why don't you go in and take a look?"
"Let the people behind the window take a look at the general situation first." The leader made up his mind and ordered someone to light a lantern.
Seeing them lingering around, they were obviously not well-trained killers. Thinking that his girl would arrive with someone soon, before they could come behind the window with a lantern to take a look, the middle-aged man simply kicked the door open himself.
Already.
With a "bang", the locked wooden door broke into two halves.
A group of people were frightened by the movement and backed away.
"What's going on!"
"Aren't you drugged..."
"What are you afraid of? It's just a yellow-haired girl, come to me!" The leader bravely shouted loudly.
At this time, someone suddenly heard footsteps approaching here quickly——
Also heard was the cold and solemn voice of a middle-aged man: "Surround the entire mountain and forest! No one is allowed to let out!"
When everyone heard this, they immediately became confused.
"…There are a lot of them coming!"
"Could it be the rumored Xu Jiajun!"
"Boss, what should we do?"
"Why are you panicking? How could they bring so many people? They are just trying to make things up! Get this girl quickly. With her in hand, why don't you worry about not having a life-saving charm?" The leader commanded with a strong composure.
.
Someone cried in mourning and pointed at the 'girl' with raised eyebrows and folded arms in front of the wooden house in a "Boss, please wake up" tone: "But...Boss, this is obviously a man!"
As soon as he finished speaking, three or five men in black quickly surrounded him.
The leader's face turned pale: "Get out!... Get out of here!"
What the hell is going on here? Why is it completely different from what was agreed upon in advance!... It must be the way he accepted the mission is wrong!
A group of people were defeated without a fight and immediately broke up and fled.
The men in black chased him everywhere, and there were constant screams and pleas for mercy in the mountains and forests.
The girl wearing a dark cloak and hood seemed to blend into the night as she walked unhurriedly near the wooden house in the forest.
Zhu Xiu followed her with a lamp in her hand and a sword on her back.
Listening to the chaotic sounds everywhere, Zhu Xiu secretly thought in his heart: What a pity.
Such a good thing, but my daughter is not here.
——As a parent, you always want to leave good things to your children, and his feelings are understandable.
At this time, a slight rustling sound suddenly sounded from above.
The sound was so subtle that it was difficult for people to detect it, masked by the noise in the forest.
Under the illumination of the wind lamp in Zhu Xiu's hand, the girl's calm eyes showed a vigilant look, and she looked up and forward.
At this moment, the sound of extremely fast footsteps suddenly came from behind her.
Hearing these footsteps, Xu Mingyi's heart skipped a beat, her eyes moved slightly, and she turned back——
At this moment, a cold arrow broke through the night in the mountains and came straight towards her from above!
Zhu Xiu took a step forward, pulled out the sword behind him and tried to block it.
At this time, a figure flashed to his side, grabbed Xu Mingyi's wrist and held her behind him, and at the same time swung the long sword in his hand to pierce the cold arrow.
In the night, the sharp sword blade flashed a cold light.
The arrow body separated, and the shaved arrowhead changed its direction, lost its momentum, and fell to the ground.
The man sheathed his sword.
A girl's surprised voice came from behind: "...Wu Chao?"
The man turned around, and under the dim light of the fire, he looked like a handsome and noble young man's face.
A smile immediately appeared in Xu Mingyi's eyes.
It's really him!
She just heard the footsteps and thought she had misidentified them!
It was dim all around, and under the black hood, the girl's face became increasingly fair and delicate. Her brows and eyes, which were originally covered in calmness and coldness, suddenly turned pale when she saw him.
Facing such a pair of eyes that think about her day and night, when he saw her smiling, the young man couldn't help but raise the corner of his mouth, but immediately suppressed it again, stared at her, frowned slightly and asked, "Why did you suddenly turn around just now?"
For a cautious person like her, wouldn't she have noticed the danger?
If you noticed it, why did you ignore it?
Thinking of the worst possible outcome, the young man's face didn't look very good.
Realizing that his hand holding her wrist had not yet let go, and that it was quite tight, Xu Mingyi smiled and said, "Because I heard your footsteps."
Of course, she was also sure that the person couldn't hurt her.
She just looked back instead of really forgetting that person's existence.
And isn’t there Uncle Zhu here?
He should obviously want to get it, could this be what is called... caring leads to chaos?
Thinking of this, the smile in the girl's eyes got a little thicker.
Seeing her girl's expression, Zhu Xiu turned her head silently - she was indeed a girl, even if she was surrounded by blood and danger, she would calmly put her obsession with beauty first.
If a girl is born as a man, I am afraid that the most beautiful woman in the capital will definitely become the most dandy in the capital.
Hearing her say that he heard his footsteps, Wu Chao couldn't help showing a faint smile, but he didn't want to be seen by her, so he turned his head slightly and looked away.
"Why did you come to the capital?" The surprise in Xu Mingyi's tone has not yet dissipated.
Wu Chao really didn't want to laugh.
But hearing her tone of voice, as if she was extremely happy because of his appearance, he finally succeeded and raised his lips with a bright smile.
"I'm sending my mother to Beijing——"
Of course there are other reasons, but I can’t go into details right now.
At this moment, the man hiding in the tree was at a loss.
