Lord, your mask fell off

Chapter 260 Recalling the past and changing a half-sigh

Thunder and lightning, wild wind dancing.

Throughout the wilderness, fallen leaves were flying, dead branches were blowing, and dust was filling the air. The situation was very bad.

By a jungle stream, Xiao Xu and the others were taking a rest.

In just that hour, they had suffered three consecutive surprise attacks. Although they were all resolved one by one, their personnel were also injured, and everyone was already a little tired.

No matter how elite the heroic cavalry was, they couldn't withstand so many rounds of surprise attacks. Tu Ling held the handle of the knife, and already had large and small wounds on his body, and the master in front of him also had a lot of bloodstains on the black clothes. .

"Master, it's obvious that these people intend to use up our physical strength by fighting with wheels, and then attack us in one fell swoop," Tu Ling said analyzing, wiping his face.

"That's right. Although these people come from different places, they have obviously reached a consensus." Xiao Xu glanced at the dark night sky. The dark clouds were pressing down on the mountains, giving people a very dull feeling.

"It's really despicable!" Tu Ling spat fiercely, he didn't expect so many people to raid tonight, suddenly he remembered something, "Master, didn't you send a letter to Mohe to send troops over here?" , why is there no news yet?"

A dark look flashed across Xiao Xu's eyes, and a faint sigh overflowed from the corner of his mouth, "There's no need to wait, the sent letter won't reach Mohe."

"What?" The earth spirit turned pale with shock.

"As early as a few days ago, these people have been eyeing us. If Mo He didn't arrive today, it means that the letter has been blocked." Xiao Xu turned around, looked at the gurgling water, and felt that the water level was slowly getting higher. There's going to be a lot of rain tonight, and they're going to have a tough fight.

Tu Ling pursed his lips tightly, but he had never experienced any storms on the battlefield before. He quickly adjusted his mood and suggested, "Master, these people will come again. We must rest first and conserve our strength."

"Well, about the deployment of personnel, you can do it!" Xiao Xu handed over the matter to him.

"Yes." Tu Ling replied, but when he turned around, he couldn't help but look at the master in front of him again. Along the way, he felt the master's indifference, as if he didn't take this sneak attack to heart. The feeling made him feel very wrong. If it was in the past, master, it would definitely not be like this...be passive.

What the hell happened?Or what is the master thinking in his heart?
But as a subordinate, the only thing he can do is to try his best to handle everything properly at a critical moment.

The sound of footsteps behind him walked away, Xiao Xu looked at the thousand-year-old tree in front of him, slowly raised his hand, and stroked the bark bit by bit, the rough skin was a bit rough, but his mind didn't seem to be on it, so With a voice that no one else could hear, she said slowly, "If I could choose, I would not want to be reborn in the royal family. It doesn't matter if I am a tree. The roots are rooted in the soil, and the body is flying in the wind."

"Big ice cube, I heard a sentence once, and I was very moved. That sentence is like this," a clear and clean voice sounded in his ears, "If there is an afterlife, I will be a tree and stand forever. , There is no joyful or sorrowful posture. Half is peaceful in the dust, half is flying in the wind, half is in the shade, and half is bathing in the sun."

Xiao Xu curled his lips slightly, the little guy always has a lot of reasons, and he uses them every time to convince others, but when it comes to himself, he always becomes an exception, and it doesn't work at all.

Thinking of this, Xiao Xu withdrew his hand, looked up at the dark sky, wondering where the little guy is now?Do you sleep soundly?Do you miss?Are you suspicious?
However, no matter what, she could not be brought back.

He was no longer able to protect her.

Putting his mind down, Xiao Xu was about to turn around, but this movement involved an old injury, he couldn't help covering his chest, a streak of blood overflowed from his lips, he frowned slightly, intending to exercise his energy to regulate the meridians.

At this time, a figure suddenly appeared behind him, and a deep voice sounded, "His Royal Highness, please stay safe."

He raised his eyebrows, stretched out his hand to brush the corner of his mouth, and then turned around calmly.

"It's you." Xiao Xu didn't see him by accident, the injury on his body was caused by him.

The cloaked man who appeared in the first inn.

"Your Highness still recognizes me, and I'm a little flattered." The man in the cloak smiled sinisterly, and even the air was suffocated with malicious intent because of his smile.

Xiao Xu looked at him coldly, not intending to answer.

"Now there are at least seven major forces surrounding the entire barren mountain, including the Jianghu cult, the assassination sect, and the dead men of the aristocratic families. No matter how famous you were in the past, under the siege of so many people, you and the heroic cavalry Wings can't escape!" There was a kind of schadenfreude in the words.

Although the cloaked man's eyes were covered by the cloak, those dark and prey eyes followed Xiao Xu like a shadow.

"Isn't this exactly what you would like to see happen?" Xiao Xu's tone was flat, as if he was not talking about his life or death.

"As expected of a generation of God of War, I have seen all the big scenes, and I admire him for being able to talk and laugh freely at this moment, but there is something I don't understand, and I want to ask His Highness." The cloaked man stared at Xiao Xu and said slowly after a hypocritical smile.

"I would like to hear the details." Xiao Xu said lightly.

If an outsider sees this scene, they may think that these two are old friends who have a good talk, rather than rivals who are at war.

"Your Highness, you don't seem to be curious about who sent me here, don't you want to know?" He has been unable to figure out this matter.

"So what if you know, so what if you don't know?" If he had a choice, he would rather choose not to know, so that he could deceive himself and others for a while, but it's a pity that God's will tricks people.

"So you already know." The cloaked man was slightly surprised.

Xiao Xu was silent.

And at this moment, there was a sound of footsteps, followed by the eager words of the earth spirit, "Master, there is a surprise attack."

As soon as the words fell, he saw the cloaked man standing in front of his master, and the earth spirit immediately moved forward with a vigilant knife, but the cloaked man didn't pay attention to the earth spirit at all, but looked at Xiao Xu, and said with a sneer , "His Royal Highness, I will not bother you on your way to death. I hope you will not show mercy later."

With a wave of the black sleeve, dust and rocks flew up, and when the dust and smoke cleared, the person was gone.

The earth spirit was shocked, "Master, this—"

"Don't worry about it, just concentrate on dealing with the enemy first." As soon as Xiao Xu took a step, he felt exhausted and couldn't help but fell forward.

"master--"

A bolt of lightning rumbled across the sky and earth, as if it was about to tear the entire sky and earth apart.

Soon, the pouring rain poured down.

"How could this be?" Chu Qingyan looked at the scattered corpses on the ground, covering her mouth in disbelief, when they parted today, it was still fine.

Huo Ling and the others quickly inspected the scene, while Dongting Wangyu looked at the dead assassins on the ground with a look of disbelief in his eyes.

Kill ten people in ten steps, and stay in a thousand miles.

As expected of a generation of God of War, martial arts are so superb.

Even he couldn't help admiring it.
