The two of them looked at the door at the same time, only to see Huo Ling walked in with a solemn face, straight to the front of his master.
"Master, the guards we were patrolling outside were attacked by unknown men in black. Although there were no casualties, this incident sounded the alarm for us. I am afraid that there are still many enemies lurking in the dark."
Xiao Xu turned his cold eyes and looked solemn. Huo Ling had already conveyed Shui Ling's message to him this morning, and he guessed that what should come will always come, just a little earlier than he expected.
"Strengthen the guards and find out where these people come from." Xiao Xuze's lips were cold and pursed into a line.
"Yes." Huo Ling responded.
Huo Ling seemed to have just remembered something, "Master, do you want to postpone tomorrow's trip?"
"No, it's business as usual." Xiao Xu said calmly.
"Yes, then this subordinate will go down and arrange." Huo Ling stepped back.
As soon as the fire spirit went down, the earth spirit came in.
Chu Qingyan watched the big ice cube leave the dining table and moved to the desk, her eyes fell on those breakfasts that had not been used much, and she sighed softly.
She wanted to hold on to the big ice cube, watch him finish his breakfast, and let him continue to deal with things.
But she knew she couldn't. Now that the matter is urgent, the large ice cube must be dealt with quickly.
Otherwise, the enemies hidden in the dark, do not know when they suddenly appear, give you a blow.
If she hadn't guessed this mysterious mission, she probably wouldn't have taken this small assassination to heart.
But now, she knew this was just the beginning. This is the first step in the enemy's spying, wanting to know how many men they have. So she knew why the big ice cube didn't change his plan to go tomorrow, because if he changed his plan because of this spying, it happened to be known by the other party. They didn't have enough staff and so they didn't dare to go forward, so what was waiting for them was to dispatch their entire nests. .
If they travel as usual tomorrow, then the other party will have scruples. As long as they have scruples, it is equivalent to giving them a buffer to mobilize manpower.
She drank soy milk silently, with big ice cubes in her ears discussing with Tu Ling how to deal with the county magistrate, embezzling public funds, embezzling disaster relief silver taels, people involved in the case and so on—
Chu Qingyan held the bowl in both hands and was stunned for a while. The soy milk in her hands was already cold, and it was cold against her fingertips.
For some reason, she suddenly felt a little uneasy about tomorrow's trip.
Night fell soon, and the lights in the courtyard were still bright, as if it were daytime. The guards standing in every corner stood like pine and cypresses, protecting the entire courtyard, so solid that even a fly could not fly in.
In the distance, someone stood on the hillside and looked down at the courtyard below.
"My lord, Xiao Xu's trip will remain unchanged tomorrow, shall we start tonight or stay put?" A black-clothed subordinate stepped forward and asked.
The man with the black hat on his head stared at the yard below, and after a moment of indulgence, he said, "I don't know how many people are around Xiao Xu. I don't want to act rashly. , I'll catch up with you tomorrow."
"Yes."
In another place, there was also a team of people secretly monitoring the courtyard where Chu Qingyan and the others were.
"Guardian, their defense is very strict tonight. If they assassinate strongly, it will be very unfavorable to us." The woman in the white moon palace uniform discussed with the people in front of her.
The woman standing in front of the attic was dressed in snow, her face covered with white gauze, her waist was sloppy, and her ears were full of moonlight. Just looking at her appearance, she felt that this person had a lot of manners, but when she saw that pair of dead eyes, It just feels overwhelming, making people want to shiver.
"Since you want to find out how many people they have, it's very simple, take the jailed magistrate, torture him to confess, and see if he recruits or not, but if he wants to be investigated by Xiao Xu, he should be very aggrieved, I I think he should be happy to cooperate with us." The woman in Xueyi smiled coldly, with a deep murderous intent on the corners of her brows.
"The guardian of the law is wise, and the subordinates will send people to the prison to rob people."
"Go."
Yuegongmen has been out of lore orders for many years, and now it has reappeared in the arena. They did not expect to assassinate a prince of a country. The deviant Yuegongmen has already been full of enthusiasm. What they love most is to do things that the world can't think of.
So their desperate group took over the task.
Who can know that the desperate group of Yuegongmen is actually a group of weak women.
No, it's a weak surface, but in fact, she is a vicious lore-killing woman in her bones.
The snow-clothed woman took out her long sword and caressed the blade with nostalgia, as if she was treating her partner.
She couldn't wait to make her Xuejian drink blood to quench her thirst.
The woman in Xueyi retracted her sword, turned from the balcony and went back to her room. The woman at the Moon Palace Gate, who was standing on both sides, bowed slightly to greet him.
Starting tomorrow, a bloody battle is about to begin.
But in the woods not far from the courtyard, a man in a cloak stood against the wind. The man in black who had previously hijacked the three worlds in the first inn, also appeared in this county at this time.
"How?" The voice was low, and it was difficult to distinguish male and female.
"Master, just now our people went to investigate, and accidentally discovered that there are two unknown forces stationed around the yard where the King of England is staying. I think they are targeting the King of England." .
"Oh?" The voice was elongated and seemed a little surprised. "It seems that King Ying has caused quite a few enemies. Your Majesty did not make a mistake in this step. King Ying has become a battle of beasts." The man in the cloak whispered. , can't hear the anger.
After a while, the man in the cloak spoke again, "Let's wait and see what happens. With these people there, it won't do us any harm, and maybe we can still reap the benefits of the fisherman."
"Master is right, maybe we can make up for it in secret, and if the King of England dies because of this, we won't be able to find it on our heads." The black-clothed subordinate gave a sinister smile.
"Smart." The man in the cloak stood with his hands behind his back, and the cold wind made the whole cloak screeching, gloomy and chilling.
On a tree with a crooked neck, a purple figure was lying slantingly on a branch. He looked at the dark night sky, and the light in his eyes was gentle, and he didn't know what he was thinking.
A figure appeared silently under the tree.
"Young Master, as expected, in the courtyard where Xiao Xu lives tonight, at least three waves of people gathered." Subordinate Xuanxizi Mo Yu said with admiration.
"When did this young master's prediction go wrong?" Dong Ting Wangyu said lazily.
"By the way, young master, the subordinates have seen the people in the lore team. It seems that the palace lord has handed over the lore order to the protector." Xuanxi Zimo was a little surprised. After all, the lore team has not appeared for many years. On the rivers and lakes.
"What's so strange, the Absolute Protector has been in retreat for the past few years, and she happens to have such a perfect opportunity to practice her hands as soon as she exits. How could she miss it?" Dongting Wangyu changed his posture and yawned.
I have to say that this time Xiao Xu was really embarrassed!
