The cold wind was mournful, the night was silent. Marquis Jingan fu was tranquil, an invisible storm was slowly accumulating under the calm surface.
Qin daren sat in the main hall with a chessboard in front of him. He twirled a white chess piece and leisurely placed a piece, smiling as he said: "Brother Yuanzhong, your heart is in chaos."
Wan Yuanzhong sat opposite him and played chess with the imperial envoy. Hearing this, he smiled and couldn't help but admire Qin daren's ability to maintain his composure.
Tonight, a storm was brewing. The traps in the courtyard were set up properly and the imperial envoy guards returned to their rooms, waiting for the enemy to walk right into their trap. The imperial envoy daren planned and arranged everything properly. He sat in the middle, playing chess and chatting with a calm expression. This kind of ability to maintain his composure without being alarmed even if the sky collapsed, this kind of confidence to determine victory from a thousand miles away, as expected of someone who had been on the battlefield before …
The imperial envoy's flag bearer held a black chess piece in one hand and a judge's brush in the other. Seventy percent of his attention was outside the game. He looked around nervously, afraid that the enemy would suddenly attack. After hesitating for a moment, he asked: "Imperial Envoy daren, since there will be an enemy attack tonight, why not invite Hu ye ye over?
The thunder bow is famous throughout the six armies. With him here, wouldn't it save a lot of trouble? "
Qin Hui sneered and placed another chess piece: "What I want is for him to not be here, so that he won't cause trouble for me … …"
Wan Yuanzhong was shocked when he heard this and said: "You mean … …"
The imperial envoy daren glanced at him without batting an eyelid: "Brother Yuanzhong, you may know a person for a long time without understanding their heart. In the future, you have to be careful. The waters in this Marquis Jingan fu are extremely muddy. Starting from this morning, there hasn't been a single thing that went smoothly.
That Zhao Feihuang looks delicate and pitiful, but in reality, he is crafty and shrewd. Today, he really caught us off guard and left us dejected.
Tonight, if we don't work hard and grasp the key to breaking the situation and counterattacking, I'm afraid that the Marquis Jingan fu's line will be completely cut off … … Ai, it's all my fault for being careless. I thought that if I followed Hu Shouxin over, things would go smoothly … … "
Wan Yuanzhong gasped, his face slightly pale: "You mean, Hu Shouxin, he … …"
Qin Hui said faintly, "I don't wish for this to happen either, but … a person's heart is fickle, and it's hard to protect a mortal body. Brothers who once entrusted their lives to each other will eventually drift apart because of their different paths …"
Wan Yuanzhong shut his mouth. Although he was naive, he was not naive. He knew that it was not his place to express his opinion. The Flag Bearer rolled his eyes and asked, "Sir, may I ask why you are so sure that there will be changes tonight?"
Qin Hui smiled coldly: "This morning, when this official was announcing the imperial edict, I discovered a bare-chested man carrying a giant blade and wearing a triangular iron helmet. At that time, I was somewhat surprised. Later on, I thought that this was probably a show of strength that the marquis's estate had prepared for me.
That triangular-headed person's attire and appearance gave off a sinister and strange aura. No matter how daring Marquis Jing 'an fu is, they wouldn't dare to attack and kill the imperial envoy. They're probably trying to act mysterious. "
He placed another piece and said coldly, "This triangular-headed man is just trying to scare the two of them.
If he succeeds in scaring this official, it will cause the imperial envoy guards to panic. It will lead to a conspiracy and divert their attention, making it easier for them to carry out their plans.
Scaring eldest young miss Zhao will logically cause this eldest young miss to be bedridden again, delaying the imperial order … … hmph hmph, it's been hard on them to start laying the groundwork during the day.
But since this official is here, this official will not allow this kind of thing to happen. No matter who this triangular-headed person wants to scare, this official will capture him tonight and interrogate him strictly to take back the initiative! "
Speaking to this point, the imperial envoy daren was already brimming with murderous intent: "Right now, it's not like yesterday when we encountered a monster that could attack us without showing himself. Today, the one trying to act mysterious is just a triangular-headed person disguised as a thief. Even if he has some martial arts skills, what use is there?
If we don't let Marquis Jing 'an fu see what we're capable of, they'll think that the imperial envoy guards are made of mud!
This official has just been conferred the Imperial Army by the imperial court. Today, this official still wants to make a profit! "
Wan Yuanzhong seemed to prostrate himself in front of the tyrannical aura emitted from Qin daren's body. Hearing what was said, he nodded his head in admiration, repeatedly praising the imperial envoy for planning before acting. His wisdom was as deep as the sea, as expected of a pillar of the imperial court.
He flattered for a while before suddenly remembering something: "Speaking of which, that monster has already disappeared for two days. Has it already given up?
Hmph, most likely it has already escaped without a trace … … it really got off easy.
I was just wondering if it had the guts to attack Marquis Jing 'an fu at night. After thinking about it, it really is a joke. Not to mention that the marquis fu is heavily guarded, Hu daren is also at the side. Even if this monster ate a leopard's gall, it still wouldn't dare to come over and stir up the tiger's whiskers … … "
Qin Hui's expression suddenly changed. Her gaze towards Wan Yuanzhong was filled with despair and some desolation.
Wan Yuanzhong felt that he seemed to have heard a familiar voice. In an instant, his expression also became helpless and sorrowful: "No … … it can't be … …"
"Ah!
Em!
Bingo! "
In an instant, the earth quaked and the mountains swayed. The violent power shook the world, setting off a hurricane. In an instant, the roof was directly lifted off by the terrifying power and the shocking sound waves swept in!
Time seemed to stop for a moment. Then, endless terror exploded. The imperial envoy guards were prepared for battle and rubbed their fists. They were ready to get back all the humiliation they had suffered in the past two days and give the thief who was pretending to be a ghost a solid beating. However, this voice rang out like a ghost. In an instant, it pulled everyone back to the terrifying night from two days ago.
They instantly recalled the fear of being dominated by that terrifying Greater Demon.
"F * ck!
Bingo!
Aishou! "
In an instant, the morale of the guards fell from the peak to the bottom. Screams of despair rang out one after another. Humans were not Saint Seiyas. They could not be defeated by the same enemy twice. Moreover, the tragedy of that night was repeating itself. With the screams of despair, invisible hands reached out from the deep darkness and pulled the guards into the air one by one.
"Wan!
Mo!
Tam! "
Like an evil spell, the terrifying enemy hidden in the darkness seemed to be drawing some kind of nourishment from the victims. Perhaps it was fear or perhaps it was life. It appeared and disappeared unpredictably, ruthlessly and calmly. Step by step, it carried out its plan. One by one, after the screams of the victims, they were hung in mournful and pitiful positions from the treetops, powerlessly struggling.
In this situation, under the endless terror, it seemed that everything hidden in the darkness was twisting and changing shape. The trees that looked very normal during the day also seemed to change their appearance in the night. The strong and ancient tree branches seemed to become tentacles that were baring their fangs and brandishing their claws, thirsting for blood. They firmly hooked the victims on top and danced in ecstasy …
More and more imperial guards screamed in despair and fled, but no one was able to escape.
Because …
"Ze 'ad!
Iz 'ad!
Wochi Ying 'ad! "
In this human tragedy, Wan Yuanzhong's legs trembled. Holding the judge's pen and protecting the imperial envoy, he shouted with a pale face, "Sir!
You can't do this!
Leave quickly! "
Qin Hui could swear that he had never missed Brother Hu Shouxin as much as he did today. If time could be reversed, if fate could be redone, he would hang tightly on Uncle Hu's body for the entire day and would never be separated from him. At this moment, he shouted in despair, "Don't worry about me!
Quickly go over there and get Leader Hu! "
A glimmer of determination flashed across Wan Yuanzhong's face. He roared, "Sir, take care!"
Then, he used the judge's pen to protect his body. Going against the wild wind, he charged in the direction of the small building Hu Shouxin lived in. His gaze was firm and his mind was like a wheel. I can do it. The monster is targeting Sir. At this moment, his attention is attracted by his fellow guards. The sky is already dark. If I move quickly, I can rush out of the courtyard before he notices. The closer I am to the small building, the greater the chance. I am skilled in qinggong. I have at least an 80 percent chance of success.
Then … "Just as this thought formed, a dark and cold wind attacked him from behind. A deafening roar rang out in the depths of his soul, shaking him until he was dizzy.
"You!
Ah!
Acesby! "
Wan Yuanzhong flew away with a blood-curdling scream. He was hung from a tall tree all the way like a chicken waiting to be slaughtered at dawn.
At this moment, everyone in the imperial envoy's guard had been wiped out. Only the imperial envoy's face was pale as he roared in despair. Perhaps the monster had other plans, or perhaps it was enjoying the pleasure of teasing its prey, so no matter how much Sir Qin roared, the monster was not in a hurry to attack.
Qin Hui's chest filled with anger. He stomped his feet and cursed. The sound just now was earth-shattering, but there was no reaction from the Marquis' manor. He had no time to think about whether it was the evil magic of the monster or some other reason. He didn't know what was about to happen to him. He could only maintain the last bit of dignity he had as an imperial envoy. "I am an imperial envoy. You attacked an imperial envoy. The court will not let this go!
Do you hear me? "
Another strange and incomprehensible roar responded to him.
"You!
Acesby!
Tu! "
An invisible and terrifying power swept toward Sir Qin. The imperial envoy gritted his teeth and placed his hand on his waist. Just as he was about to use his last resort, a dazzling flash of lightning suddenly flashed in the distance.
"Evil creature!
How dare you! "
In Sir Qin's eyes, the vibration of the thunder and the dazzling light were not stingy with the Buddha's light and chanting. He was almost moved to tears.
A brilliant flash of lightning roared and broke through the darkness. A moment later, a painful roar came from the darkness.
"F * ck!
You!
Han Zuo! "
A heart-palpitating pressure swept through the air and quickly disappeared into the distance. It seemed that the terrifying monster had also been defeated by Hu Shouxin and retreated pathetically. Qin Hui looked from afar and saw Hu Shouxin's figure in a sorry state. There were still some weeds and leaves hanging from his body. He held the thunder bow in his hand and pulled the string. Electricity curled around his body as he turned into a purple rainbow and rushed into the distance. He seemed to be extremely angry.
He shouted, "Brother!
Don't chase a cornered enemy! "
Unfortunately, Hu Shouxin was already far away.
Qin Hui narrowly escaped death and found that his back was already soaked with sweat. He looked back and saw that the small courtyard was in ruins. The roof was open and the cold wind was silent. His companions were all hanging from the trees, screaming and struggling. How lonely and desolate it was.
Helpless, he shouted at the top of his lungs, "Help!
Help! "
At this moment, he still didn't know that the real trick had just begun.
