"Husband, there is a thief in our house."

Shen Yuexi angrily ran up to the tower to complain to Xiao Zhuo, just in time to see the Qi King's army attacking the city begin to withdraw to the camp.

"Is there something missing?" Xiao Zhuo stroked the top of her head unhurriedly, like a cat.

Shen Yuexi said anxiously: "This thief doesn't steal money. The box under the bed is not short of a tael of silver. But the letters from Bai Ling and Sister Mei are lost."

Xiao Zhuo put down his hand and sighed softly: "I understand."

"Husband, why aren't you in a hurry?" Shen Yuexi almost jumped up and said, "Such an important thing is lost."

"I understand everything," Xiao Zhuo walked towards the bottom of the city, "Yue Xi, come with me for a walk outside the city."

The war is over, and Qiu Liming will handle the aftermath.

Seeing his heavy expression, Shen Yuexi thought he was also feeling sad, so she followed him and said, "This thief is still a woman, and the secret guard guarding the door didn't even notice it. Husband, won't you go back and take a look?"

"Since everything is lost, what's the use of going back to look at it." Xiao Zhuo said, "I'm a little bored and want to relax."

"High-sounding!" A young woman's voice sounded in the darkness.

When Xiao Zhuo and Xiao Kai dueled, Qiang Lin was there to watch it with her. What Qiang Lin meant was that neither Xiao Kai nor Xiao Zhuo could defeat this woman in swordsmanship?

Shen Yuexi stood at attention helplessly and listened to Xiao Zhuo's explanation. There was no room for a little fool like her to interrupt.

"Brother, he doesn't want to know me."

Six swords fell to the ground one after another, making a crisp sound, and the five secret guards stretched out their hands to hold their right wrists. Their wrists were all stabbed by the sword tip. The wound was not deep, but it made them lose the strength to hold the sword.

The masked woman's eyes turned cold, and she reached out to hold the sword hilt behind her shoulder: "Why do you still want to stop me? Back off!"

"Yue Xi, Qiang Lin, please step back," Xiao Zhuo walked towards the masked woman, "She is here to find me."

Arriving at a flat place halfway up the mountain, Xiao Zhuo looked at the dots of firelight on the grassland to the north and finally spoke.

"You take the secret guards back to the city," Shen Yuexi said, "I will not leave my husband."

This woman's swordsmanship is so high that even Qiang Lin has never seen her before.

Xiao Zhuo followed the masked woman, and the two came to a flat open space on the top of the mountain. This open space was not covered by any trees and was illuminated particularly clearly by the moon.

This was the first time she saw a woman using such superb swordsmanship. She actually hit the wrists of five people in an instant.

Qiang Lin said: "Master, you don't know how to use a sword, so you won't be able to help me if you go."

The masked woman looked at Shen Yuexi who was following him, with a hint of surprise in her eyes: "You actually followed me?"

"I didn't." Xiao Zhuo answered briefly with only three words.

"The letters I sent to him and King Qi must have been destroyed by him." Xiao Zhuo put his hands behind his back and looked up at the bright moon. "The person who came to steal Bai Ling must have been sent by him."

A trace of panic flashed through her heart.

Shen Yuexi touched her head and suddenly felt that her brain was a little weak: "How did your husband judge this?"

Shen Yuexi said to him: "The secret guards are all injured. You take them back to Doctor Hua and his son for treatment. This is an order."

"No." Xiao Zhuo quickly denied.

"Husband, what's wrong with you?" She tilted her head and looked at Xiao Zhuo's face with some confusion, "Are you worried about insufficient food and grass?"

Shen Yuexi still wanted to follow, but Qiang Lin turned around to block her and said: "Master, this woman's swordsmanship is so good that I have never seen it in my life. Master, please don't go there."

Shen Yuexi asked in surprise: "Why did your husband suddenly say that?"

"You said you would not hurt your relatives," the masked woman turned her back to Xiao Zhuo, "Then why did you kill your teacher?"

The secret guards were all shocked and speechless by the woman's swordsmanship. After hearing Qiang Lin's reminder, they all picked up their swords with their left hands and followed Qiang Lin down the mountain.

She thought she and Xiao Zhuo were the only ones here, plus Qiang Lin and secret guards at most. Unexpectedly, a woman suddenly appeared.

"He sent someone to steal Bai Ling, and I understood what his real thoughts were," Xiao Zhuo looked at her, "He wanted to hide my identity from King Qi, and he didn't want King Qi to know."

The masked woman took her time and waited until the six people rushed towards her before she drew her sword and drew an arc-like cold light from behind her shoulder, flashing several times.

Shen Yuexi turned to look at the two people who had walked away.

He did not continue to explain, and Shen Yuexi was too embarrassed to continue asking. The two of them went out from the north gate of the city and walked up the mountain along a winding mountain road.

The moonlight is very bright tonight. Even without torch lighting, you can still see the road under your feet clearly.

Xiao Zhuo said: "From the moment he started to attack the city, I felt something was wrong. When ordinary people see this letter, the first thing they think of is to confirm with the other party. Even if they suspect that the other party is using tricks, there is no need to attack by force. I I feel that Xiao Beiheng is very anxious. He wants me to die. But I don’t understand why he is doing this. Before, the conflict was that we didn’t know the truth. Now that we know, he wants to put me to death. I didn’t really understand until Bai Ling was stolen. .”

The secret guards were a little angry when they saw that the other party was a woman, but uttered arrogant words. After all, they were also the elite of Xirong sergeants, but they were looked down upon by a woman. Without waiting for Qiang Lin's instructions, they rushed forward one after another. Seeing that Qiang Lin had no time to shout, he had no choice but to Follow up.

Shen Yuexi was stunned.

No matter how many storms she has experienced, she will still be nervous when her loved ones are in danger. But unlike before, she can now keep her nervousness in her heart instead of showing it on her face.

Only Qiang Lin reacted quickly. The moment the sword light reached his wrist, he took the initiative to throw away the sword and withdraw his hand, barely dodging the sword light.

Before Xiao Zhuo could speak, Shen Yuexi's voice came from behind: "I killed the second prince, and it had nothing to do with my husband. Don't blame this matter on him."

The masked woman put the long sword back into the sheath on her back and said to Qiang Lin: "You must be the leader of these people. Not many people can dodge my sword."

As Qiang Lin shouted, he and five secret guards immediately jumped out from behind Shen Yuexi, holding swords, and stood between the masked woman and Xiao Chen.

"I let King Qi and him go just because I already know that they are my relatives. Knowing that the other person is a relative and killing them all is no different from a wild beast." Xiao Zhuo looked at her with bright eyes.

She had told Xiao Zhuo a long time ago that no matter what difficulties they encountered, the two of them would go through it together. Now that this woman was so dangerous, how could she leave Xiao Zhuo and leave.

Shen Yuexi was startled.

Qiang Lin had no choice but to say to the secret guards: "Let's go."

Shen Yuexi puffed her lips: "Husband, you are so smart, you have seen through everything. Then let him attack us?"

Qiang Lin looked pale. Although he lost his weapon, he still stood in front of Shen Yuexi.

This was the first time that Shen Yuexi heard Xiao Zhuo take the initiative to say that he was bored.

A woman dressed entirely in black jumped out of the darkness, with a black veil on her face and the hilt of a sword exposed diagonally from her back.

The masked woman sneered and turned around slowly: "What about the second prince? Isn't he your relative?"

"Protect the master!"

Shen Yuexi said: "Why can't I follow? You want to deal with my husband, how can I ignore it?"

"You are very courageous," the masked woman looked at Shen Yuexi again, "but you don't know how to use a sword, so you can't help your husband."

Shen Yuexi said: "I don't know who you are, but when Mr. Ji came to Longsheng Town to find my husband, I was at the scene and witnessed the fight between Mr. Ji and my husband. Neither of them hurt each other. .”

"It's useless to argue. Only the sword can tell me the truth." The masked woman took a few steps and turned to face Xiao Zhuo.
