Episs. 25: Looking back, several people are dimly lit 3
In the middle of the night, there were only a few lanterns swaying in the wind on the street, and I couldn't see half a figure.
Han Ruqi nervously held the knife around his waist and followed behind Wei Tanyi three or five steps away. He has killed a lot of assassins and bandits, but this is the first time to fight against zombies. Whether the knife in his hand works or not and whether he can protect himself is unknown now.
"Lord Han is really so nervous?" As he walked, Wei Tanyi asked coldly.
"Which eye do you see me nervous!" Cowardice is a big taboo for martial arts practitioners. Even if you are really nervous and afraid, you won't admit it. If you admit it, isn't it a short breath before you start?
Wei Tanyi hummed and turned half of his head: "The high popularity on your amulet makes me feel that there is a strong murderous spirit behind me. If you weren't nervous, how could he be like this?"
I'm speechless.
"But it's not surprising that he is on guard. Even if he is twice as strong, his soul is never the opponent of zombies. It's not a shame for you to be nervous."
Han Ruxu was so stunned that she opened her mouth and asked for a long time, "What do you mean, is it dead for me to rush to fight against zombies like this?"
"Isn't it?"
"Then you still ask me to come out and die!"
A fox's coat in front of him: "Siled! She's coming."
The street is silent a hundred steps away, and even a trace of wind can't be heard. The lanterns above are extinguished with the exhaustion of lamp oil, and only a full moon in the night sky is still shining brightly.
Han Ruxu opened his eyes and looked around, but did not see half a shadow. He was muttering whether he had been fooled again. Suddenly, there was a flower in front of him, something brightly passed by, and the guard sandalwood standing in front of him also turned back alertly and quickly.
Isn't the zombie jumping forward in a frenze?
In surprise, the shadow shook over again. This time he could see clearly that it was the female zombie who had previously wore a mask and a colorful gauze. Zheng!" The knife came out of its sheath and cut towards the floating yarn. Obviously, it was touched, but there was no trace left.
"Don't be in a hurry to do it first. If you are angry, she has good fruit to eat!" Wei Tanyi quickly raised his hand to stop Han Ruxu, who was going to cut again. He took out a charm from nowhere and patted him in the middle of his forehead.
Han Ruxu was patted straight, and his head fainted and retreated two steps, and subconsciously was about to remove it. Don't reveal it! Unless you want to die."
But... "What you posted hinders me from seeing things."
Wei Tanyi shook his head at him with pity: "Which one do you think is more important, preventing you from looking at her or preventing her from looking at you?" The meaning of the words is very clear. With this sticker, the zombie can't see him and is much safer.
Han Ruxu had to put up with it and blew up the charm: "What should I do now?"
The zombie no longer appeared. I don't know where he went. Wei Tanyi relaxed a little and said, "I'll deal with it next. You just need to stab her in the back of the heart when I say to do it, and it's done."
"...that's it?"
"That's it."
It's too disgraceful to ask him to be a four-grade military officer to use a knife in the back, isn't it? Han Ruxu felt that it was unfair not to compete positively. Later, he thought that the other party was not a living person, let alone a person in the world. He was relieved to pay attention to what to do.
"We just need to wait now, and she will definitely come again." Wei Tanyi looked around slowly with his head up, with a confident momentum in his tone.

In the middle of the night, ordinary people have blown out their lamps and go to bed. Only when Huajie and Liuxiang is lively, not only the Cuihuan Building, but also the large and small Qinglous in Qingzhou are hung with red lanterns to welcome visitors from all over the world.
Su Yan just sent away a prince from the capital and leaned against the railing to look down at the cold white moonlight in the backyard.
The prince was dressed in gorgeous clothes and was extremely generous. This was the next day. Listening to her stroke the piano and her poetry, there was no impatience on her face, let alone the anxious face of an ordinary benefactor, showing the demeanor of a modest gentleman. She knew that this person must be the emperor's grandson, so she tried her best to please him, and even did it for him with her own hands. A glass of wine was delivered to his lips, which made the prince overjoyed.
"I don't know..." He muttered half a sentence, and the door of the backyard was suddenly knocked open, and a man stumbled in, almost tripped by the wooden bucket by the well. Su Yan fixed her eyes, but Guo Yingnan looked flustered.
Guo Yingnan ignored anyone and rushed back to his room. Ning's mother asked anxiously several times outside. He only said that he was too tired to rest early and told people not to disturb him. The girls who were close to him in the building couldn't help but be a little worried. They chattered outside the door for a long time before they dispersed.
It's better to give it to her. Su Yan reached out and pressed the mask, turned to the backyard to carry a bucket of hot water, and then knocked on the door. Guo Yingnan asked lazily. When she recognized that it was her, she got up from ** again and opened the door.
Su Yan entered the room, poured hot water into the copper basin, and took the face wash handkerchief on the shelf to soak [split] wet.
"If Miss Lao Suyan sends me water, I'll do it myself." Knowing that she was Ning's mother's cash cow, Guo Yingnan hurried forward to take the handkerchief, but Su Yan opened her hand.
"Please don't be polite, Mr. Guo. I'm not instructed by my mother." Su Yan pushed him to the bedside, pressed him to sit down, and wiped his face and hands. "The reason why I'm here is that I want to say something to the prince. Please listen patiently, and I'll leave after I'm done."
Guo Yingnan is obviously very unaccustomed to her attentiveness. Her whole body is stiff and difficult to refuse.
Su Yan scrubbed every nail for him very seriously, and whispered, "I know the person the prince went to see today, otherwise he would not have poisoned the little dagger. Mr. Zhao, who came to the building yesterday to listen to me, is the elder brother of the noble man who invited you to visit the lake today. Although he didn't say it clearly, I probably guessed what his brother's intention was.
She suddenly stopped and held his hand: "You killed him, that's why you came back in a panic, right?"
"I..." Guo Yingnan didn't know what to reply for a moment.
Su Yan shook her head: "You don't have to answer me, I know. Please rest assured. I will try to hide this matter. It's me who gave you the dagger. I should bear the crime of murder with the prince.
"But you're just for me..."
"The Zhao brothers are my enemies of Su Longer. Unfortunately, I'm just a weak woman who can't kill the enemy, so I borrowed the prince's hand to take revenge. Even if anyone has to die for this matter, it's me, not you."
Guo Yingnan wanted to talk back and only looked into her eyes through the cracks of the mask.
"Rong'er knows that the prince is involved, and she is guilty. She just hopes to wipe the prince's body tonight, wash away the dirt and fear, and apologize a little. If Mr. Zhao comes back tomorrow, I will definitely ask him to excuse you." With this, Su Yan reached out to untie his belt.
Guo Yingnan stopped in a hurry and didn't have time to say no. Su Yan had taken out a black ribbon from her arms and covered her eyes through the mask. There must be a reason why the prince doesn't want to be served. Longer doesn't look at anything and doesn't ask anything. Please take your clothes on."
Looking at her strange mask and blindfolded satin, Guo Yingnan frowned deeply, stagnated for a while, and finally let go of her hand, let her take off her layers of clothes, wiped his whole body with a veil dipped in hot water, and then combed her black hair neatly and put on clean clothes.
"Well, Long'er said goodbye." After doing all this, Su Yan took off the ribbon and put it in her arms, and withdrew from the house with the bucket of water.
