Xu Mubai raised his head, but saw a man in black standing on top of the treetops, his body rising and falling slightly with the wind, as if he was connected with the tree, his face was wearing a silver mask, and he was looking at himself with cold and ruthless eyes.
Xu Mubai is not the first time to see this person, on the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival in August, he invited Hu Xiaotian to drink in Deyue Tower, and it was this person who extinguished the indoor candle flame and led Hu Xiaotian out, and chased him out, but was stopped by the rain tiles halfway.
Xu Mubai knew that there was a lot of difference between himself and the other party's martial arts, looking at the man in black, using his internal strength, ready to meet the other party's attack at any time: "Who are you, why do you want to oppose me" Xu Mubai didn't know that the other party's true identity was Ji Feihua.
Ji Feihua sighed softly and said: "In vain, you are also a child of the Xu family, the fame of the old lady Xu has all fallen on you unscrupulous descendants, what kind of ability is it to bully a weak woman and want to create a bloody case and blame others?"
Xu Mubai bit his lip, and in his long sleeves, two flying knives quietly slipped down his arms to his palms, and he suddenly launched, facing an opponent whose martial arts surpassed him a lot, except for a sneak attack, he had no chance of winning, and two cold lights shot at the other party one after the other.
Ji Feihua was not in a hurry when she saw the flying knife shooting, her long sleeves shook, and swept over the two knife lights, and the flying knife suddenly changed direction and shot at Xu Mubai's body instead.
The speed reflected this time was more than double the speed of Xu Mubai's throwing.
Xu Mubai secretly screamed that it was not good, his body rotated like a top, and he changed six or seven body techniques, so that he could dodge the reflected flying knife, but his knee suddenly shook and hurt, and he was shot by the steel needle ejected by the other party, his right knee was weak, and he fell to the ground on one leg.
Ji Feihua said indifferently: "It's too late to think of begging for mercy at this moment."
Xu Mubai said bitterly: "If you want to kill, why humiliate me" His bones are tough.
In the case of falling behind, he did not lose his backbone.
"I'm afraid I'll dirty my hands if I kill you" Ji Feihua was still standing at the top of the branch, hiding behind the mask and looking quietly ahead, because she saw a woman appear on the top of the branch three zhang away from her, and this woman was none other than Xu Fengmei, the head of the Xu family in Jinling.
Ji Feihua smiled indifferently: "It turns out that you are the mastermind behind the scenes" Xu Fengmei said: "The child's family is not sensible, I hope you don't worry about him generally, there is something wrong."
I bear it for him. ” Ji Feihua said: "Of course you have to take care of what you do, you have a big tone, do you think you can represent the Xu family?"
Xu Fengmei smiled faintly, and shook his left hand gently behind his back, such a position can only be seen by Xu Mubai, Xu Mubai understands that this is to let him leave as soon as possible.
Xu Mubai has known Xu Fengmei since he was a child, and he has always been in awe of the head of the Xu family, but he doesn't know much about her martial arts, and he saw Xu Fengmei's performance at this time.
Only then did I understand that this sister-in-law turned out to be a hidden master.
Ji Feihua watched Xu Mubai go away, but he didn't mean to do anything.
She said softly: "What you are doing now, Mrs.
Xu is afraid that she doesn't know who is in charge of the Xu family now."
Xu Fengmei looked at Ji Feihua coldly and said, "It's not the turn of outsiders to ask who you are in the affairs of the Xu family."
Ji Feihua said indifferently: "You might as well come over and unmask me and take a look" She didn't attack, turned around and threw herself in the direction of the broken temple.
Xu Feng's eyebrows were furrowed, the other party was not in love with war, not because he was afraid of his martial arts, but because he was worried that he still had a backhand.
While pestering him, he sent someone to break the temple and attack Long Xiyue again.
Although he is good at layout, he didn't expect that today's plan would change halfway, and there would be strong reinforcements behind the other party.
Zhan Peng's shoulder was stained with blood, he was stabbed several times, and more than half of his twenty warriors were also injured or wounded, and Li Honghan was also injured in many places.
At this time, the ten men who had been ambushed in the mountain pass heard the movement and came to reinforce it, and gradually regained the initiative.
At this moment, there was a sudden sound of shouting in the distance, and Li Honghan was stunned when he heard it, and the sound was the signal sent by Zhu Jingyao to call him to retreat.
Li Honghan knew that something urgent must happen, he didn't dare to fight, and glanced at Zhanpeng on the opposite side with some unwillingness, Zhanpeng was covered in blood, like a killing god, and the bow and arrow in his hand were aimed at Li Honghan, and he had already shot seven warriors on the other side one after another.
Li Honghan nodded hatefully and said, "I will settle this account with you sooner or later."
With a wave of his hand, he led his men to retreat out of the forest.
Zhan Peng saw the other party go away, the tight bowstring slowly relaxed, after this bloody battle, there were only eight surviving warriors, Zeng Xiaorou walked out from behind the rock where he was hiding, trembling with fright, Zhan Peng glanced at the corpses on the ground, and now he didn't care about burying these brothers, he ordered the team to be reorganized and return to the broken temple immediately.
The group returned to the broken temple and saw that Liang Yinghao and Long Xiyue were unharmed, so they were relieved, Liang Yinghao called Zhanpeng to the meditation room to help him bandage his wounds, and told him everything that happened just now in detail.
Zhanpeng heard that there were masters helping each other in secret, and he dared to rejoice in his heart.
At this time, there was a knock on the door outside, but it was Long Xiyue who came, Zhan Peng got dressed and opened the door.
Long Xiyue said with concern: "How is Brother Zhan's injury?"
Zhan Peng smiled: "It's just a skin injury, the princess doesn't have to worry." ” Long Xiyue glanced at Liang Yinghao and said, "Brother Liang, it turns out that you lied to me just now, saying that Xiaorou is a spy, in fact, you want to use her to lure the people of Xichuan away." ” Liang Yinghao said: "Don't blame the princess, we are also for the safety of the princess, the lord entrusts you to us to take care of, if there is any mistake, we can only apologize with death." ” Long Xiyue said: "I don't want you to die for me, and you don't want to think like this, in fact, in Xiaotian's heart, you are as important as me." ” Liang Yinghao and Zhanpeng felt warm in their hearts when they heard this, and they felt that even if they sacrificed their lives for Long Xiyue, it was worth it.
Zhan Peng said: "Oops" Long Xiyue and Liang Yinghao looked at him at the same time, not knowing what he was talking about.
Zhan Peng said: "I gave Miss Xiaorou a fright just now, and I haven't apologized to her in person." ” Long Xiyue also nodded, it was unfair to her to put Zeng Xiaorou in danger in order to protect her.
Liang Yinghao shook his head and said, "This matter may be really strange. ” The two looked at Liang Yinghao at the same time.
Liang Yinghao said: "I really didn't have evidence just now, just to make the princess feel at ease, so I made this decision, but we are all low-key along the way, trying to avoid the crowd, why Xu Mubai will follow, I just went to look in front of the broken temple gate and found a mark, obviously someone deliberately left a mark."
"He was originally a bandit, so he was very familiar with this method.
Long Xiyue said: "But there were people from the Xichuan Li clan passing by just now.
"It's not just them who are sheltering from the rain in the ruined temple tonight, Li Honghan has also been here, so it shouldn't be possible to conclude that it was Xiao Rou based on a single mark.
Liang Yinghao said: "Li Honghan doesn't seem to have any relationship with the Xu family, not only that, but the princess also saw it just now, Xu Mubai killed a warrior of the Li family with a shot, and the Li family would not be so stupid and would leave such an obvious mark to the enemy."

As for the twenty samurai under our command, they are all carefully selected by the lord, and it is impossible for them to do such a thing with absolute loyalty.
The implication of his words is that Xiaorou has the greatest suspicions.
At this time, there was a sudden scream outside, and the three of them went out at the same time, but they saw a samurai guarding the back door lying upright in a pool of blood, stabbed in the chest, and the blood was still gurgling out, Zhan Peng squatted down and reached out to cover his wound, and the samurai pointed to the courtyard wall.
Liang Yinghao walked a few steps quickly, climbed over the wall, and looked up, but saw a petite figure in the distance flickering and disappearing into the distant mountains and forests.
Zhan Peng said loudly: "No need to chase" The rest of the warriors searched the ruined temple and found that only Zeng Xiaorou had disappeared, which means that the warrior must have been killed by Zeng Xiaorou.
Thinking of this way, Long Xiyue and Zeng Xiaorou are sisters and sisters, always accompanied by her, everyone can't help but be frightened, this Zeng Xiaorou has the opportunity to get rid of Long Xiyue at any time, but I don't know why I didn't start.
Fortunately, the samurai was not stabbed to the vital point, after bandaging, he intermittently described the scene just now, he was responsible for guarding the back door, just now Zeng Xiaorou came over, saying that he wanted to go out, but the samurai refused, because Zhanpeng had explained in advance that no one was allowed to enter and leave without his permission, so let her ask Zhanpeng, but she didn't expect her to say a word, and suddenly pulled out a dagger and stabbed herself.
After Long Xiyue listened, her mood suddenly dropped a lot, she turned around and walked back to her room silently, closing the door.
Zhan Peng and Liang Yinghao glanced at each other, the expressions on each other's faces were a little helpless, Liang Yinghao sighed and said: "The princess is kind-hearted, she treats Xiaorou as a sister, but she has been betrayed, and it will not be easy to change to anyone." ” Zhan Peng said: "I can only wait for the lord to catch up and slowly enlighten her." ” Long Xiyue closed the door with her backhand, leaned on the door, closed her beautiful eyes, and tears slipped silently along her pretty face, maybe she thought about the world too well, and after so many setbacks, she still firmly believed that most people were kind, Xiaorou, a sister who got along day and night, would actually betray herself, she really couldn't figure it out, after encountering tonight's ups and downs, Fang missed Hu Xiaotian more and more in her heart, if he was by her side, all this might not happen.
There was a soft knock on the door.
Long Xiyue took a deep breath, controlled her emotions and said, "I want to take a good rest, I don't want to see anyone at this time." ” A familiar and friendly voice came from outside, "Why don't you even want to see me?"
Long Xiyue thought that she had misheard, and hurriedly opened the door, but saw Hu Xiaotian appear in front of the door like a chicken in soup, no matter how embarrassed his image was, he always had a sunny smile on his face.
