Wishful Things

There is also the faint sound of something swiftly passing through the forest...

But rather than being brought by people, she is more inclined to be the subtle noise brought by some kind of animal passing through the forest.

And if it is a human being, it must be a master with great skills and no one in a million.

Thinking of this, Xu Mingyi subconsciously looked at the young man beside him.

In the darkness, the young man with a cold and resolute profile had an unclear expression, but he never moved his feet, and the arm was still lying in front of her, obviously concentrating on judging something.

Xu Mingyi followed him to stand where he was, without making a single movement.

After standing still like this for about half a quarter of an hour, I saw a spark suddenly lit up in front of the right. Although the spark was weak, it was particularly eye-catching in the dark mountain.

Someone really is coming!

"My lord...!" Sui Jiang immediately clenched his fingers, looked at Wu Chao, and asked for instructions in his lowered voice.

Wu Chao nodded slightly.

In the next moment, the arrow shot by Sui Jiang pierced through the forest, and the sound resounded through the valley.

In order not to startle the enemy, Wu Chao only brought Xu Mingyi and Sui Jiang into the mountain, and Xiao Qi who arrived afterward took the hidden guards to guard the vicinity secretly, using the sound of the arrow as a signal, and the sound of the signal would immediately surround them.

And this sound could reach the ears of Xiao Qi and the others, which naturally alarmed the people in the mountain.

Hearing this sound, the man's face changed suddenly, he didn't care to extinguish the fire paper under his feet, he got up immediately and wanted to run away.

But at this moment, a hidden arrow broke through the night and came straight in his direction.

He had a keen sense and was about to dodge it, but the opponent fired several arrows again, all of which were cutting off his escape route, greatly delaying his time to leave——

Soon, he sensed that someone was approaching him very quickly. In the cold night, a cold sword light flickered, approaching him involuntarily!

His pupils shrank, and he leaned back and retreated repeatedly. The sword fell on the top of his head, and the hat on his head fell to the ground.

Wu Chao was not in a hurry to attack again, but withdrew his sword and looked at the opponent coldly.

The man stabilized his figure, and looked up, revealing a face with a messy beard.

He was dressed in a coarse cloth robe, and his rolled-up hair was fixed on top of his head with a well-worn mahogany hairpin. His temple hair was slightly loose and unkempt. With such a dress, he looked much older than he actually was—but those pair of The keen eagle eyes, but could not be misunderstood in the slightest.

"Sui Shan...it really is you! You are really still alive!" Sui Jiang looked at his former brother-in-law in disbelief.

Still alive... That means that he really betrayed the young master back then, and even nearly killed the young master!

Sui Shan didn't respond to his words. After a short silence, he looked at the handsome young man with a sword in his hand, and said in a low voice, "How did you know that your subordinate would be here?"

Wu Chao's voice was without warmth: "Today is the anniversary of your parents' death, I expect you will come to pay respects."

A look of surprise flashed in Sui Shan's eyes.

He never mentioned the anniversary of his parents' death to anyone, not even Sui Jiang.

Wu Chao looked at him with an indifferent and calm voice: "Many years ago, one day I saw you wearing a piece of white cloth on the side of your waist under the outer robe, and later 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 difficult to guess, isn't it?"

And his former subordinate has always acted cautiously. Even if he didn't notice that someone was chasing him secretly, if he wanted to worship, he would definitely choose to enter the mountain after dark-this point is also not difficult to guess.

Therefore, after he first found out the suspicion that the other party was still alive, he didn't let anyone continue to investigate. Ordinary tracking methods can't catch Suishan, they can only scare the snake.

Even today, he chose to take people out of the city temporarily instead of ambush in advance. Only in this way can he ensure that the plan will not be noticed.

Suishan's mouth overflowed with a faintly wry smile.

That being said, it doesn't seem too difficult to guess.

But he only secretly hid a piece of white cloth around his waist during the ten-year anniversary of his father's and mother's death. Unexpectedly, he was seen and remembered by the young master.

And no wonder for many years since then, in the days before and after his parents' death day, he was always considered leisurely, and the young master would hardly arrange any urgent errands for him——

It turned out that it was specially reserved for him to go out of the city to worship his parents.

The young master's face is cold, although he never said anything clearly, he has always been considerate of his subordinates, which is one of the reasons why he and Sui Jiang have been willing to stay by the young master's side.

And it was only natural that he would run into the Young Master's hands this time.

"Sir, you are really good at predicting things, and your subordinates are convinced." He raised his head and looked at the young man with the same respect in his eyes.

The boy pointed his sword at him again, and said, "Follow me back, and explain the matter clearly."

Sui Shan put his hands behind his back, his eyes showed determination: "Please forgive me for being difficult to obey."

Seeing him draw his sword, Sui Jiang's eyes burst into anger, and his tone was painful and angry: "You still don't know how to repent!"

This man who betrayed his master actually wants to draw his sword at the young master again...!

Today, he must personally arrest him and go back to ask for clarification!

Sui Jiang also pulled out the long knife behind him, and angrily attacked Sui Shan.

Suishan can only block but not attack, and has been waiting for an opportunity to escape.

But he soon heard the movement from all around - many people are approaching here...

It seems that the son is bound to win this time, and it is impossible for him to escape easily!

After all, it was the person who broke through the sea of ​​blood since he was a child, and his survival instinct made him quickly notice a person——

Not far away, the burning paper ignited the withered grass and fallen leaves, the flames were blown by the wind, and the vision flickered, making it more and more obvious that the young man standing by the grave had red lips, bright eyes, and a slender figure that did not look like a man.

Sui Shan dodged Sui Jiang's fight in twos and twos, and quickly moved towards Xu Mingyi's direction.

"Be careful!" Wu Chao's expression changed suddenly, and he stepped forward immediately.

Xu Mingyi frowned slightly.

The next moment, she raised her hand suddenly, and a long needle flew out between her fingers, hitting the arm of the person who was coming towards her.

Sui Shan felt a little pain, but he didn't care about it, he didn't stop on his feet, but soon, he felt that his movements became inexplicably slow, and his body gradually became stiff and could not stop.

The long knife in his hand fell, and he raised his hand with difficulty, touching his arm that was in more pain, only to realize that the long needle had completely sunk into his flesh and blood.

He couldn't help looking at the girl who had been protected by Wu Chao with amazed eyes.

He only thought that this was a weak girl pretending to be a man, and that a way of life would surely be carved out of her, but unexpectedly, not only was it not a way of life, but it was actually a... dead end?

Before he had time to think about anything else, a huge sense of dizziness hit him, causing him to quickly fall to the ground.

"..." Wu Chao turned his head to look at Xu Mingyi with a bit of confusion in his eyes.

... This scene is somewhat bizarre.

Can Miss Xu explain to him... what happened just now?

good afternoon

(I feel better today. Although the disease is not completely cured, at least I feel more relaxed, and my mind does not feel chaotic. Thank you for your understanding)
