Fengming Tianxia's Concubine Empress

Chapter 159 The Deep Night

And Zi Yan, who was cleaning the wild fruit, saw the silver-faced man walking towards this side, and couldn't help stepping aside respectfully.For some reason, Zi Yan always felt that this person was a bit scary, although he was not a nobleman, but the noble aura exuding from him, and the cold air that did not allow anyone to get close, made Zi Yan couldn't help but back away.

However, when the silver-masked man was only a few meters away from the water's edge, several black figures suddenly sprang out from the woods and swung their knives towards Su Mei by the water's edge.

Su Mei felt the sharp and cold air behind her, and instinctively turned sideways quickly, but the sword edge seemed to have eyes, and followed her closely.

Seeing this scene, Zi Yan, who was standing aside, was stunned for a moment, and immediately screamed.Hearing this, another man in black quickly tapped the acupuncture points all over Zi Yan's body, and in an instant, the whole water was immediately clean.

Just at the very moment, when the sharp sword energy shining with the sun's rays was about to pierce Su Mei's chest, the silver-masked man kicked the man in black accurately and quickly with a roundabout leg. at the back.

The silver-masked man immediately yelled, "Go!"

It's just that Su Mei can walk if she wants to. Zi Yan's acupuncture points are pinched and she can't move. Even if they can walk, she will never leave the silver-faced man alone to face these black people alone. Besides, she couldn't leave.

Hearing this, another man in black quickly attacked Su Mei. Su Mei didn't care about anything else, picked up a small wooden stick on the ground, and started fighting with the man in black.

For a while, there was nothing but the sound of fighting on the entire river bank.

At this time, Jiao Jingyao, who was looking for firewood on the mountain, suddenly stopped and listened attentively.

If he heard correctly, he seemed to have heard a woman's scream just now, and the voice seemed to come from down the mountain.

Jiao Jingyao listened carefully, and indeed heard some subtle voices, but they couldn't hear them clearly.He pondered for a moment, then yelled that something was wrong, and then flew up the tree with his breath. He stood at the top of the tree and looked towards the river bank. Sure enough, he saw that they were fighting with two men in black, and it seemed that The kung fu of the man in black is not inferior to theirs.

Jiao Jingyao's face immediately darkened, he immediately threw away the firewood in his hand, and ran down the mountain as fast as he could.

Although Su Mei knows some martial arts, they are all close combat techniques learned in her previous life. Now, she has been injured several times and has not practiced for a long time. The man in black's martial arts is very high, and soon she was at a disadvantage, but she still persisted tenaciously. She believed that her persistence would definitely wait until her elder brother came back.

The situation on the side of the silver-masked man was not very good either. Obviously, the skills of the two were comparable, so for a while, the silver-masked man couldn't help Su Mei.The silver-masked man seemed anxious in his heart, but cold on his face.

Gradually, Su Mei felt that she was getting weaker and weaker, while the opponent's strength was not lost at all.

Suddenly, the opponent's sharp sword turned a corner, and the sword that was meant to stab Su Mei's arm deflected a little when it was about to reach, and stabbed straight towards Su Mei's throat.

Seeing the sword edge getting closer and closer, Su Mei suddenly felt a sense of relief. If she died like this, it would be a happy thing for her. It's just a pity that those who love her will definitely die. Very sad.

Su Mei smiled softly, closed her eyes, and quietly waited for the arrival of the sword's edge.

Seeing her expression, the man in black was stunned, his hands stopped, and he unconsciously looked in the direction of the silver-masked man, as if he was asking his companion if he would stay alive.

However, just as the two were separated, the silver-masked man took the opportunity to slap the man in black on the chest. Seeing that the situation was not good, the man immediately dodged sideways, leaving time and space for the silver-masked man. .

I saw the silver-masked man running towards Su Mei, only to hear a stabbing sound, that was the sound of a sharp sword cutting through his clothes.

The man in black obviously didn't expect the silver-masked man to come rushing over suddenly. The moment the sharp sword pierced the silver-masked man's skin, the man withdrew his sword abruptly.

Su Mei, who had been quietly waiting for her death, heard the sound of a sharp sword cutting her skin, but she didn't feel any coolness or pain. She couldn't help frowning, and then slowly opened her eyes.

But just after she opened her eyes, she suddenly found that the silver-masked man was standing in front of her, covering his chest with one hand, and coughing.

Su Mei was shocked, she never thought that the silver-masked man would come to block the sword for her, and how similar the current situation is!Her brain stopped functioning for a moment, and she just stared blankly at the silver-masked man in front of her.She didn't notice the man in black standing opposite her at all. The man in black obviously didn't expect such a small episode, and his face was also slightly stunned.

"Go!" The silver-masked man stopped coughing, and whispered to Su Mei behind him.

Su Mei came back to her senses and immediately looked at the man in black, but at this moment the man in black's face had returned to normal, and those exposed eyes were full of coldness and killing intent!And only then did she notice that the sword in the man's hand was dripping with bright red blood drop by drop.

The man in black immediately attacked the silver-masked man. The silver-masked man braced his body and caught the black-masked man's move. However, the silver-masked man was attacked from both sides.

But just when Su Mei was about to join the battle again, she raised her eyes and saw Jiao Jingyao running towards this side. She was overjoyed and hurriedly shouted: "Brother!"

The three people in the fight all had a meal, and the two men in black couldn't help looking up. After seeing the menacing Jiao Jingyao, the two looked at each other, and when Jiao Jingyao was five meters away, they quickly moved Lifting his breath, he fled backwards.

And the whole body of the silver-masked man also relaxed at this time, and he knelt down on one knee all of a sudden, coughing violently.

Jiao Jingyao saw the two men in black turn around and run away, so he raised his sword and chased after him without even thinking about it.

"Brother!" Seeing that he was going to chase after him, Su Mei hurriedly called to stop him, and then said, "Brother, stop chasing, take a quick look, Brother Yuan is seriously injured, it seems that he hurt his lungs." Said Su Mei Nervously walked to the side of the silver-masked man, trying to help him up.

Hearing this, Jiao Jingyao immediately walked up to the silver-masked man, squatted down, and when he saw the dark red blood continuously flowing out, he quickly touched the silver-masked man's acupoints. Miraculously, the blood really flowed out The flow is slower.

Jiao Jingyao carefully inspected the silver-masked man's injury, and Su Mei also watched nervously, wishing that she was the one who was injured, and she didn't want someone else to suffer it for her.

"Fortunately, it didn't hurt the vitals. If the sword edge is further inward, I'm afraid you will be in danger." As he spoke, Jiao Jingyao took out the medicine bottle from his arms, opened the bottle cap, and sprinkled the medicine powder on the wound.

"Thank you, brother Ziheng. Cough cough." The silver-faced man said when Jiao Jingyao gave him medicine, but before he finished speaking, he coughed a few more times.

"Brother Yuan, don't talk, or you will choke into the lung duct." Su Mei said with concern.

"Lung tube?" The silver-masked man asked suspiciously, he couldn't quite understand Su Mei's words.

Su Mei didn't know how to explain it, so she could only say, "I mean it will cause a cough."

"Well, well, first help Yuan Jun up, let's go back to the city first, I can only do a simple treatment for Brother Yuan Jun, if you do a proper examination, you will need a doctor."

"Okay." As they spoke, the two helped the silver-masked man up.

Seeing that the three of them were about to walk to the side of the carriage, Zi Yan was so anxious that tears came out of her eyes, but she couldn't speak, so she could only hum with difficulty.

I don't know if Su Mei heard her snort, or if she suddenly remembered, Su Mei suddenly looked in Zi Yan's direction, and said to Jing Yao, "Brother, Zi Yan is still there, she should be pointed by the man in black." Acupuncture." As she spoke, she raised her finger to the direction where Zi Yan was standing.

Jiao Jingyao looked in the direction of her finger, and just met Zi Yan's terrified eyes, she kept nodding, her eyes were tearful, as if she wanted to shed all the fear and grievance in her heart along the tears. .

The moment Ziyan untied the acupoints, she didn't care to salute Jiao Jingyao, but ran towards Su Mei quickly, and threw herself into Su Mei's arms, weeping softly. Keep shouting: "Miss Miss"

"It's okay, it's okay." Su Mei comforted Zi Yan by patting her back.

"Little sister, it's not suitable to stay here for a long time, let's go back quickly."

"En." Su Mei nodded, helped Zi Yan in her arms, and said, "Okay, don't cry, let's go."

With the help of Jiao Jingyao, the silver-masked man got into the carriage, and Su Mei Ziyan also got into the carriage. Jiao Jingyao sat in the front driver's seat, waved his whip, and urged the horse to run.

It's just that when he was leaving, Jiao Jingyao couldn't help but look in the direction of the two men in black fleeing, his brows were tightly frowned, and there was no bottom to his bright eyes, as if he was thinking about something. have to.

Falling asleep early when tired, only to wake up late at night.

Su Mei sat up suddenly, her forehead was covered with beads of sweat, her eyes were wide open, her expression was terrified, as if she had had a nightmare.

After Su Mei regained her composure and turned her head to look out the window, she realized that the deep night was so dark and quiet.

The wind chimes on the pink curtains were blowing by the breeze, making crisp and clear sounds, which were extremely disturbing to hear in this dark night.

Su Mei remembered the nightmare she had just now. Thinking about it now, she was still in shock and still felt terrible.

She dreamed that she, her eldest brother, and the silver-masked man went to the suburbs together, and when they were enjoying themselves, a group of men in black suddenly appeared. She was no match for the men in black at all, and what was even more frightening was that her elder brother and the silver-masked man were both killed by the men in black in order to save her. Even she herself was eventually taken away by the men in black. gone.

As the saying goes, thinking by day, dreaming at night, she recalled what happened during the day, and felt a little strange. She didn't understand why the two men in black suddenly withdrew and disappeared in the end, and what was their real goal? What?
Su Mei shook her head lightly, sighed secretly, then lay down slowly, covered with a thin quilt, closed her eyes, and prepared to fall asleep.

But just when she was about to fall asleep, Zi Yan's scream suddenly came from the outer room.

Su Mei got up immediately when she heard the sound, put on her coat, picked up a candle and went out.

When she walked to the outer room, she happened to see Zi Yan who was sitting on the bed, curled up and shivering.

Zi Yan looked like the frightened deer, looking very pitiful.

"Zi Yan, what's the matter? Did you have a nightmare?" Su Mei stepped forward and whispered, afraid that a loud noise would scare her.

Ziyan heard the words, looked sideways, and when she saw Su Mei with her blank eyes, she immediately opened her arms and hugged Su Mei tightly, and said in a crying voice: "Miss, this servant dreamed of many dead people. , many, many"

Su Mei could clearly feel Zi Yan's trembling body in her arms, she patted Zi Yan's back lightly, and said softly: "It's okay, it's just a dream, besides, dreams are the opposite, it's okay gone."
