The First Sword

Chapter 38 Killing

Looking at the woman in front of him, a strong murderous atmosphere suddenly ejected in Yan Ji's cold eyes. At that moment, he actually wanted to kill the woman in front of him.

He thought she heard what he had just said and thought that she could never live.

"Did you hear what I said just now?" Yan Ji asked coldly.

Susu didn't feel the coldness in his words. She glanced at him, couldn't help laughing and scolding, "You fool! Is it possible that you forgot what you just said? Let me remind you? The ghost knows what you just mumbled about!"

With that, Susu slightly tiptoed up, stretched out her white, gentle palm, touched Yan Ji's forehead, gently rubbed his forehead, and asked softly, "Little brother, what are you doing with your head covered? Is it a headache?"

She stared deeply at this thin face. In her gentle eyes, her eyes were as clear as autumn water, with indescribable warmth.

She just wants to care a little about this teenager who once called her sister.

Under the gentle gaze of Susu, Yan Ji had a feeling that she wanted to escape from her. She dared not answer her words or face her. In her heart, she felt that she did not deserve her love.

The coldness and murderous atmosphere in his eyes gradually dissipated and disappeared under the gentle care of Su Su.

"I'm sorry, I'm nothing!" Yan Ji hurriedly left a word and turned around and left.

Susu was stunned and didn't understand why he suddenly said the word "sorry". According to common sense, it was right to say the word "thank you", which was very strange.

In the dark night, the cold wind blew by, bringing bursts of whistling, which made people feel cold and piercing.

Xiao Xiao's cold wind swept a few torches and shook the flame violently, almost extinguishing.

In front of the cave where the cell was located, twelve guards were redepsoned, but the bodies of the dead guards were not immediately carried away and lay on the ground, and of course two were nailed to the rock wall.

Luo Changjian held a torch in his hand and squatted on the ground to carefully examine the body of the dead guard. His eyes stayed on the small blood stains between the neck of the body for a long time before asking Zhu Meng beside him, "What do you think?"

Zhu Meng's eyes moved away from the body of the guard on the ground and said slowly, "At a glance, the prisoners in the cave had a chance to run out, kill these guards, and then escape."

"But," Luo Changjian suddenly took his words and said, "The truth is not what it seems. Someone killed these guards from the outside, then entered the cell and released the prisoners."

Zhu Meng nodded slightly, pointed to the body guard on the ground, and said in a low voice, "When he died, his eyes were very flat, and there was no sudden fear of death at all. It seemed that he did not expect him to die before he died."

His hand pointed to the small wound between the neck of the body and said, "From the wounds of these people, they were injured by an extremely sharp magic weapon. The magic soldier who killed them is definitely a rare nine-day soldier in the world. The magic weapons of the five prisoners inside have been handed over. How can it be possible to kill the guards outside with magic weapons?

Luo Changjian sighed, showing a silky worry and said, "These guards are all good hands. If they are all quietly killed by a person, it means that that person's cultivation must be good, not under you and me."

Zhu Meng nodded, his eyes flashed, and remembered something. He hurriedly said to Luo Changjian, "In addition to Zhao Yi, who was previously executed, there is also a mole at the hell gate in the villa. The people of Hell Gate are not fools. How can Zhao Yi, who is mediocre, sneak into the villa to save these five old guys? Zhao Yi's identity was found. Obviously, they did it on purpose. The purpose is to make us think that the insider has been removed, and then take it lightly!"

Luo Changjian was expressionless and said slightly, "Yes, that man is extremely cunning. First, he set fire to a tall building nearby, attracting the attention of the guards here, and then went down the mountain to attack."

Zhu Meng clenched his fist tightly, his pinched fingers clicked, snorted heavily in his nose, and asked, "Have those five old guys been caught?"

"At present, one has been caught, and the other four are still hiding in the villa!" Luo Changjian answered in a low voice.

Zhu Meng snorted again and said angrily, "Miss Su prepared three meals for these prisoners all day long, but these prisoners did not know their kindness and hurt her. They simply raised a group of white-eyed wolves!"

Luo Changjian looked at Zhu Meng sideways and said faintly, "You seem to be very angry? People must not be angry, especially when they are about to do something, because when they are angry, they will make some strange actions.

Zhu Meng did not answer his question. He suddenly turned around and said, "I will search in person and be sure to catch those prisoners."

In the morning, the morning sun rose from the southeast and gently sprinkled on Yinglong Villa, sending a trace of warmth to everything that had been hit by the cold all night.

Tingyuyuan, which is full of bricks and tiles, has been cleaned up by the guards. As usual, the male and female servants of Tingyuyuan got up early and rushed into the kitchen to prepare breakfast.

Yan Ji subconsciously counted the number of people and found that all the servants in Yuyuan came together, and there was no casualties. Only Su Hui was seriously injured and could not get up and did not appear in the kitchen.

Somehow, his mood suddenly eased a lot, as if he had put down a heavy stone. He breathed a sigh of relief and began to bring firewood from the firewood house to burn the fire.

Since he mixed into Yinglong Villa, he has never slept well all night, especially in the past few nights.

But somehow, he didn't feel much fatigue, and the real power in his body was always abundant and inexhaustible.

The Taoist true method he studied "Taiyi Vientiane" can also introduce the aura of heaven and earth into the body at any time through the body's veins to replenish the energy in the body.

After those cooks and helpers put steamed bread and rice into the pot, they had nothing to do. Three or five groups gathered outside the house to bask in the warm morning sun.

In this way, only Yan Ji was busy in the kitchen, adding firewood to the five stoves. This is also understandable. He is responsible for burning the fire.

"Big brother! Let me help you burn the fire!"

Yan Ji was focused on burning the fire, and suddenly such a soft voice came from his ear, which made him tremble and almost fell to the ground. When I looked back, I knew that it was Yang Huanyu, the eldest lady of Yinglong Villa.

Yan Ji quickly stood up, bowed to her, and said, "I have seen Miss!"

Yang Huanyu ignored him, learned Yan Ji's movements, squatted down in front of the stove, picked up a piece of wood and added it into the fire, and from time to time stretched out his pale and slender hands to keep warm in front of the fire, regardless of his white fox coat, standing full of wood chips on the firewood.

Yan Ji bent down and quickly pulled her up and said, "You can't bother the lady to do this kind of thing. We can do it."

When he pulled the girl up, he felt how thin and light her body was tortured by the disease. He pulled her up with little effort.

Yang Huanyu broke away from his hand, squatted down again, stretched out his little hand to warm himself in front of the stove, and said, "Then I won't burn the fire. I'm only burning here. When I first ran over, the road was very cold."

Yan Ji no longer stopped her from warming up and asked her, "Miss, what are you doing in such a place?"

"I'm here to find you..." She suddenly stopped and said, "I'm here to see my cousin."

Yan Ji said "Oh" and ignored her. He patrolled back and forth in front of the five stoves, waiting for the opportunity to add firewood.

Yang Huanyu stretched out her hand and roasted in front of the fire at the entrance of the stove for a moment. Suddenly, she looked up at Yan Ji in front of another stove, and then got up and walked to Yan Ji's side and squatted down. Regardless of the difference between men and women, she squeezed her body on the side of Yan Ji's body, close to her, and reached out to warm up in front of the stove.

Yan Ji subconsciously moved aside a little and distanced herself from her. Unexpectedly, she took the opportunity to move a little next to Yan Ji and squatted in front of the stove, "occupied" Yan Ji's heating stove.

"So you really moved away and didn't live in the place where you used to patrol. What you said is true!" Yang Huanyu rubbed her hands in front of the fire and said slowly.

Yan Ji didn't understand the meaning of her words, but said, "Yes! I'm telling the truth!"

Yang Huanyu nodded slightly, laughed happily, and said, "So you didn't lie to me!" You are better than them."

Yan Ji frowned and asked, "Do other people often lie to you?"

A few wisps of melancholy suddenly appeared between Yang Huanyu's eyebrows and said in a low voice, "Yes! Those bad guys love to lie to me."

Yan Ji was curious and didn't understand why everyone deceived this simple girl, so she asked Yang Huanyu, "Why did they lie to you?"

Yang Huanyu faced the stove, and his dark eyes reflected the flames moving up and down in it, like a pair of stars in the summer night sky.

She said in a low voice, "They obviously don't want to play with me. They want to lie to me and say they can't play with me."

This is the poor man who was tortured by the ruthless disease. From childhood to now, her playmate has no one except her deceased brother.

It's another lonely poor man.

Once upon a time, you may have been the same loneliness, lonely and pitiful, but you are much luckier than her and don't have to suffer from that ruthless disease.

So, he will definitely feel her mood now.

The two were talking in front of the stove when Luo Bing and Susu suddenly came in and saw a strange girl with a sick face in the kitchen. Luo Bing felt strange.

Susu recognized the girl and quickly saluted her, "I have met the young lady."

Luo Bing listened to Susu's words and saw the girl's sick face. She soon understood, saluted Yang Huanyu and shouted, "Miss Yu!"

Yang Huanyu ignored her and still squatted in front of the stove to keep warm. She didn't look at them and stretched out her head to talk to Yan Ji.

With Yan Ji's current identity, he can't ignore Luo Bing's existence. He quickly got up and saluted Luo Bing and said, "I've seen Miss Luo."

Luo Bing also directly ignored Yan Ji and ignored him. He asked Yang Huanyu, who was squatting on the ground, "Miss Yu, this kind of place is very dirty. Why did you come here?"

Yang Huanyu then looked up at this woman who was equally strange to her and replied, "Come and play! Can't you?"

Luo Bing didn't dare to say anything and immediately nodded, "Ok! OK!"

Susu wanted to ask Yan Ji why he was with the eldest lady of Ying Longtang, but because Yang Huanyu was here, he did not dare to ask.

About half an hour later, the breakfast came out of the pot, and the servants of Yuyuan began to enjoy their own breakfast. They each filled a bowl of rice porridge, took two steamed buns, and dined in the warm sunshine in front of the house.

"I'm also going to eat here, big brother, bring me steamed buns!"

Yang Huanyu pulled the corner of Yan Ji's clothes with one hand, pointed to the stacked one-person high steamer, and suddenly shouted.

Hearing that Yuyuan's servants were attracted, they all looked at the strange girl with a sick face. Under Susu's reminder, they knew that the girl was the apple of the hall's eye and saluted the girl one after another.

Yang Huanyu ignored the people behind him, pulled the corners of Yan Ji's clothes again, pointed to the high steamer and urged, "Get it to me quickly!"
