Lord, your mask fell off

Chapter 817

Heideng was confused, and suddenly several swords sprang out. Chu Qingyan was startled, but her body reacted extremely quickly. She turned over and stepped on one of the swords, and used her strength to retreat.

But Chu Qingyan discovered that these people seemed to be deliberately forcing her into the dark, so that no one would find out.

And after she sent Ji Linyang away, she told the people below that she wanted to be quiet, and waved away the people following, so that these people had a chance to take advantage of it.

It was menacing, and it was coming towards her.

"Who sent you here?" Chu Qingyan asked coldly.

She was answered by the shining knife.

Chu Qingyan's expression froze, and her moves were fatal. Who has such a big hatred for her?
Although the martial arts skills of the comers are not low, she is still more than enough to deal with them, but these people are very good at hidden weapons, and they put a few hidden weapons from time to time, which is very annoying.

Originally, there was anger in her heart that she wanted to vent out through this fight, but now she didn't want to entangle with them anymore, so she kicked a stone away, and the stone hit a tree not far away, and soon knocked down a group of people. Large leaves.

The noise here quickly attracted everyone's attention.

"Oops, I've been discovered, brothers, let's make a quick decision!" Half of the eleven or twelve men in black besieged Chu Qingyan, and the other half stopped fighting, took out darts and silver needles and took the opportunity to attack Chu Qingyan. Chu Qingyan threw it away.

The man in black cooperated tacitly and deliberately dragged her, making her unable to deal with those hidden weapons.

Just as she turned her head to avoid two darts, three more silver needles pierced through the air towards her vitals. Seeing that she was about to be unable to dodge, she felt a chill in her heart.

But at this moment, a black figure appeared in front of her, wrapped her shoulders with one hand, swung the sleeves with the other, pocketed the three silver needles into the sleeves, and with a flick, the three silver needles flew towards that place again. Three men in black who use hidden weapons.

"Puff puff--"

Three screams were heard, and the three men in black fell down in response.

Then Huo Ling Jinxin and others who followed immediately attacked the remaining men in black, and soon those men in black were subdued.

Just as Xiao Xu was about to step forward to question him, he saw those men in black vomit black blood from their mouths and fell limply down.

Huo Ling checked immediately, sniffed, frowned and said, "Master, they all committed suicide by taking poison."

Glancing at the men in black, Xiao Xu's face turned slightly cold, "These are dead soldiers."

Huo Ling was a little annoyed, "If we had prevented them from committing suicide just now, even dead soldiers, no matter how hard their mouths were, they would not be able to resist the torture of the brave knight!"

"Forget it, pack up the corpse and check if there is anything worth using." Xiao Xu waved his hand and ordered to go on.

Everyone is ordered to do things.

At this time, Chu Qingyan was still in Xiao Xu's arms. He lowered his head and wanted to reprimand her for daring to run around alone in the wilderness, but seeing her pale and slightly absent-minded, he couldn't help slowing down, "I'm so scared!" ?”

Chu Qingyan pursed her lips, a look of hesitation flashed in her eyes, and she soon fell into Wuhen. She raised her head and smiled at him pretendingly, "I'm fine."

After saying that, she left his embrace, turned to him and said, "I've been tossing around tonight, so I'm going to rest first."

But obviously Xiao Xu was dissatisfied with her answer, and even more dissatisfied with her actions. Looking at his empty embrace, Xiao Xu's expression darkened, and he reached out and pulled the person who was about to leave, and put his hands on hers. shoulder, and turned her face to him.

"Ayan, what's wrong with you?"

Chu Qingyan was not wary of his sudden attack, and as soon as she raised her head, she fell into his dark and intense eyes, as if there was something dizzy inside that couldn't be resolved, stabbing her heart a little bit by bit.

"I'm really fine, big ice cube, don't think too much about it." She pulled the corners of her mouth and smiled at him.

But when she said this, she felt that his expression became more serious, and his smile froze at the corner of his mouth.

"Stop laughing, don't force yourself if you don't want to laugh, it's uglier than crying!" Xiao Xu mercilessly exposed her.

Chu Qingyan's shoulders slumped. Sure enough, she couldn't hide anything from him, but why couldn't he guess what she was thinking?
Seeing her like this, Xiao Xu's grief that had been smoldering in his heart for the past two days now filled his heart.

Holding the hand on the shoulder, tightening it bit by bit, Xiao Xu's eyes seemed to be brewing a storm, she raised her head in pain, wanting something, but was frightened by his look.

"Ayan, when will you open your heart to me?"

The words of accusation, like a thousand weights, came towards her with a thunderstorm, pouring water on her heart and body.

The chill invaded from the soles of the feet bit by bit, the blood was frozen, and soon reached the heart.

She suddenly felt exhausted.

"Big Ice Cube, there are some things I don't want to tell you, but because I'm afraid that you will be embarrassed."

She closed her eyes, and then slowly said, "I feel a little familiar with those dead men just now, whether it is martial arts or formation, they are all the same as what I encountered in the city when I took people to get silver for the bank. The killers are very similar, I know that the killer in the city was sent by your mother, if I tell you my suspicion about the dead man tonight, I'm afraid you will feel bad."

She twitched her lips, "A mother-in-law wants her daughter-in-law's life all she wants, isn't it absurd to say it? But it really exists."

Xiao Xu didn't expect her to say this, and he couldn't help loosening his fingers, "Ayan, those people—"

Feeling that the restraints on her shoulders were loosened, Chu Qingyan lowered her shoulders, moved them away from his hands, then took a step back, looked at him, tilted her head slightly, and curved her lips into a smile, but there was no smile in her eyes , with self-deprecation. "Big Ice Cube, your mother really doesn't like me!"

From ancient times to the present, the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law has been a subject of knowledge, but her mother-in-law is too special. The way she doesn't like someone is to make her disappear in this world forever. She asked herself, there is no way to get along with such a mother-in-law.

"Ayan, she doesn't like you, it's okay, I just care about you!" Xiao Xu's expression moved, seeing her self-mockery and self-sigh, he wished he could hold her in his arms, rub her into his flesh and blood, and appease all her grievances and uneasy.

When Chu Qingyan heard his words, especially the last sentence, her heart felt hot and she pursed her lips, like a homeless child finally found a roof to rely on, the words buried in her heart.

"Which woman doesn't want to be blessed by the close relatives of both parties, and I am the same, but I understand our situation, and I know that in the royal family, getting family affection is a luxury. I don't ask her to like me, and I don't ask her to fulfill it. We just hope that she will stop disturbing us. But the big ice cube, you know? When I saw Madam Hong appearing in our yard, I knew that one day they would attack me. Seeing these people today , it’s not that I deliberately want to hide it from you, but that I don’t want you to have a rift with your mother again because of me.”

"It's not that I don't want to open up to you."

"It's that you have already had a hard time, and I don't want to add to your burden."

Sad and lonely words are so light that they will be blown away by the wind.

But when it fell into Xiao Xu's ears, it was like a thousand-jin stone, which shocked him for a moment.

Then it hurts unbearably.
