His sharp gaze was directly locked on the archery target in front of him.
An arrow landed on the bowstring, and then, the bow was fully drawn.
After a long time, the arrow flew out quickly, and hit the bull's-eye almost instantly!
At this time, there was a clapping sound of "papa" behind him.
Qi Shuiyu, who was dressed in white, turned his head. The person applauding behind her was her husband, Xiahou Fangyan.
This is a huge martial arts training ground, which is empty. On weekdays, it is the place where the Xiahou family clan's children practice martial arts. Only clan members can enter this place.
"You really can't sleep either?" Qi Shuiyu lowered his hands slightly and said, "That's right, I'm afraid none of the Xiahou family can sleep peacefully this night."
"You're right. Especially the Night King, aren't you?"
Having said that, there was a meaningful expression on his face.
Qi Shuiyu's face suddenly changed slightly.
"what do you want to do?"
The distance between Qishuiyu and Xiahou Fangyan is not very far. Therefore, she could clearly see Xiahou Fangyan's expression at the moment.
"What do you think I'm going to do?" Xiahou Fangyan's expression was normal.
"I understand you." Qi Shuiyu clenched the bow in his hand, "Are you planning to attack the Night King? Absolutely not! The Patriarch won't..."
But when he said this, Qi Shuiyu suddenly thought of something.
"Could it be... Patriarch acquiesced to you?"
"The map should be in the blood of the Xiahou family. Isn't it?"
Qi Shuiyu shook his head: "Xiahou Ye Wang, he is also the blood of the Xiahou family."
"Do you really think... he is from Xiahou's family?"
After saying this, Xiahou Fangyan smiled: "Don't worry. A gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall. In this family, there are as many people who want to kill Xiahou Yewang as the crucian carp crossing the river. If you can kill him, you will have to kill him as soon as possible." Let’s do it. Patriarch’s thoughts are certainly a reason, but if you’re not sure, who would dare to do it to the Night King? Even if you want to do it...it shouldn’t be me.”
In this way... a name immediately emerged from Qi Shuiyu's mind.
"Xiahou... Jiao Yan?"
"Let me shoot an arrow too."
He took out an arrow from the quiver behind Qi Shuiyu, then took the bow from her hand, and then quickly filled the arrow!
"Shuiyu, remember, to seize the opportunity, you must act quickly, and don't be indecisive."
"I know. But... when it fails..."
"People are always going to die. If they fail, it's just a few decades ahead of schedule. But once they succeed, it will last forever for the members of the Xiahou family."
The arrow, at the same time as the words were spoken, rushed towards the target at high speed! Then...the arrow that Qi Shuiyu shot before went straight through, piercing the center of the circle!
Qi Shuiyu was dumbfounded.
Walking through Yang with a hundred steps is not enough to describe! Even the rebirth of Huarong in Outlaws of the Marsh cannot be compared with Xiahou Fangyan!
"In history, every winner, before taking the most critical step, faced the fate of being irreversible after failure. The more you desire, the more you pay."
At this time, Qi Shuiyu hugged Xiahou Fangyan from behind.
"You should know that I never expected the so-called eternity. What the Xiahou family did was originally a taboo thing, a... taboo behavior for all human beings."
Holding the bow in his hand, Xiahou Fangyan drew another arrow.
"I was born as a member of the Xiahou family, so I was destined to be unable to live a mediocre life. Shuiyu, if you marry into the Xiahou family, you will no longer be able to live an ordinary life."
Then, the second arrow was fired again!
Qi Shuiyu closed his eyes. Soon, a tear streak appeared under the corner of his eye.
She hugged Xiahou Fangyan tightly, as if he would disappear from her side the next moment.
For Xiahou's family, this was an extremely long night. Every passing minute and every second made them suffer so much.
And it was even more so for Xiahou Jiaoyan.
For the Xiahou family's clan, there is no essential difference between the separated family members and the red-clothed servants. However, Xiahou Jiaoyan is the person who is most trusted by the head of the family among the current family members.
And at this very moment...
"Is that... here?"
In front of him was a manor house decorated with lights and festoons that looked beaming. This villa can be directly used as a filming location for Republic of China dramas, and there will never be any sense of disobedience.
Here... is the place where the ghost marriage will be held tonight.
And this place, which is about to become a "wedding" place, is undergoing final confirmation work.
Of course... the person who supervises his work is still Xiahou Tailan.
When the work was almost done, Xiahou Jiaoyan came to the courtyard of the villa. And Xiahou Tailan was standing there alone. By her side, there was no servant in red.
"It's time to leave." Xiahou Jiaoyan said.
However, Xiahou Tailan remained motionless.
"Miss Tylan? The map is in your hand, if..."
"Did you do something?"
After Xiahou Jiaoyan heard this sentence, although Xiahou Tailan turned his back to him at the moment, his expression did not change at all.
"I don't understand what you're talking about, Miss Tyran."
"You should know what the consequences would be without a map."
The implication is that they are clearly threatening him.
"Miss Tylan, I still don't understand what you're talking about."
"Xiahou Xuanyin. Are you using her to do something?"
"There has never been such a thing."
However, for Xiahou Tailan, such a perfunctory answer was impossible for her to accept.
"You knew from the beginning who the corpse in that coffin was, didn't you?"
Xiahou Jiaoyan was silent this time.
She turned her head slowly and looked at Xiahou Jiaoyan.
"Did you arrange it that way because you knew about it?" Xiahou Tailan said coldly: "From the very beginning, you knew that Xiahou Xuanyin fell into a state of schizophrenia, right?"
"I just didn't expect it to be this serious. But isn't this all pre-arranged?"
"You don't need to know this."
The positions of Xiahou Jiaoyan and Xiahou Tailan at this moment are about twenty meters away. However, even in this dark courtyard, the two parties can still clearly see each other's expressions.
"So... let me guess, okay?"
When Xiahou Jiaoyan said this, before Xiahou Tailan could reply, he began to chat.
"I can roughly guess that you chose this day. It is Xiahou Qinglian's prophecy calculated from a long time ago, right? For you, it is not an exaggeration for Xiahou Qinglian to be used by you until after death. ,Is not it?"
"So... Xiahou Yuanshu left Minshan, isn't it to escape his fate? Unfortunately, everything is meaningless. In the end, when Luo Hu was about to devour the sun, he actually died at the hands of his own daughter. Once he died, within seven days , he must be buried in Minshan. However, the fact is that the Night King has been paying attention to them. After Xiahou Yuanshu died, he immediately arranged for someone to bring his body back to Minshan."
"The body in that coffin...is Xiahou Yuanshu, the biological father of Xiahou Xuanyin! Even though he is a member of the separated family, he is the blood of Xiahou's family after all, and more importantly, he is Xiahou Qinglian's biological son! So, for you, he is most suitable to play the role of 'groom' in this dark marriage, isn't it?"
Xiahou Tailan was silent.
"It seems I'm right. The Night King has been monitoring Xiahou Yuanshu's father and daughter all these years, right?"
"Did you ask her to open the coffin to confirm your last guess? No... If so, there is no need to be so exaggerated. You should have other plans. However, during the process of opening the coffin, Xia Houxuan Yin, she didn't even open her eyes once. She didn't even know that the corpse in the coffin was her biological father who died in her hands!"
At this moment, Xuanyin looked at the corpse. The bones still haven't changed much.
She believed that she could see her father again.
Sure.
However, the memory is still chaotic. On that day, after she killed her father, what did her father say to her, and why did she come to Minshan
"Xiahou Yuanshu probably never believed Xiahou Qinglian's words. That's why he was even more frightened. But at the moment of his death, he finally discovered that his fate was like this after all. The prophecy of his mother Xiahou Qinglian was on him. It was completely fulfilled. That's why he really understood at that time that there is no point in escaping."
Xiahou Jiaoyan said this and finally came to a conclusion.
"It's not hard to understand what Xiahou Qinglian entrusted to him before she died, right? She wants her son to bring the last map of the underworld to the Xiahou family after he dies!"
