Chapter 256 Mystery(1/4)
Chapter 256 Mysterious Sense
In the autumn afternoon, the sun shines brightly.
There is also a gentle breeze, which no longer brings the coolness of the cold night, but the intoxicating warmth.
In Green Willow Manor, the autumn feast has not really started yet, but the noisy voices of the theater troupe can be vaguely heard, quietly carried by the blowing wind.
But in this secluded courtyard located in a corner of the manor, the atmosphere was somewhat unseasonably calm.
"What does Wei Daozi mean?"
Wu Qingxuan's heart skipped a beat and she looked around subconsciously.
It was quiet inside and outside the courtyard, except for the gentle breeze blowing the treetops, there was no other sound.
Even the gentle chirping of insects, which was intermittent just now, completely disappeared without a trace.
wrong!
The chirping of insects disappears into silence. This is by no means normal!
Wu Qingxuan's mind was spinning with thoughts, and when she looked at Wei Tao again, she unconsciously felt a little more surprised and shocked.
"It seems that His Highness is right. They have indeed arranged many informants. Even among the guests invited by Young Master Feng, there are many people who can secretly inform them."
Wei Tao sighed lowly, "So, if we analyze it carefully, it should be because I appeared in Green Willow Manor that I attracted these people here.
Then, if His Highness had not come to meet me, he might have been able to hide in this quiet courtyard for a longer period of time."
"If we can't find the protection of Dao Master Ning, what's the use of hiding anymore? We siblings are nothing more than meat on the chopping board, fish to be slaughtered. At most, we can only survive in fear and despair for a while longer."
When Wu Qingxuan said this, his expression suddenly became solemn, "If it is really Prince Yan's people who find this place, please Wei Daozi leave quickly.
I don’t ask for anything else, I just hope that Daozi can escape safely and return to the mountain gate, so that I can tell Dao Master Ning about the matter, find a way to pass the news back to Beijing, and maybe save my father."
Wei Tao sat still and just smiled when he heard this, "Your Highness Qingxuan just thought of letting me go now. It seems a little late."
"It's not too late, not at all!"
Wu Qingxuan spoke quickly, "Prince Yan's goal is the three of us siblings, and he has no direct involvement with Wei Daozi.
What's more, they don't want to kill us, but they want to capture us alive so that they can blackmail my father. As long as the three of us fight to the death, we can create a chance for Daozi to leave!"
Suddenly, there was a soft snapping sound.
It came from just outside the courtyard door.
Immediately afterwards, the closed door latch broke and fell silently, and the wooden door slowly opened.
As if the harsh winter had arrived, wisps of cold air rushed in from outside, and the ground near the door soon even formed a layer of light white frost.
Wu Qingxuan looked out subconsciously, but the door was still empty, and she didn't see a single person.
The autumn sun shone down, but she didn't feel any warmth on her body, only a bone-chilling coldness.
"They are coming, they are coming!"
Wu Qingxuan's face suddenly turned pale, "Wei Daozi, go quickly, go quickly!"
At this moment, a slightly feminine male voice sounded from all directions at the same time, like spring water in the mountains, slowly flowing between the small courtyards.
"Your Highness Qingxuan, don't be anxious, because being anxious is of no use. It will only make you worry and anxious, but it will not solve any problems."
After a pause, the feminine man's voice sounded again, "Also, His Highness just said two things wrong. We need to correct you, lest you misunderstand our original intention and have all kinds of dissatisfaction.
Realistic thoughts.”
"First of all, our master has not actually said that we must capture your highnesses, siblings, alive. It would be best if we can get them alive, but if the situation changes, it would also be good to take your bodies back.
Second, although our main target is His Highness and others, it is a surprising surprise to meet a Taoist from Qinglin Mountain here. The master will be even more happy when we take his body back later.
Be happy."
Wei Tao listened silently and suddenly raised his eyes, "The old man talks too much, which makes people feel uncomfortable and have unclear ideas."
Uh-huh!!!
A yellowing leaf drifted down gently.
It happened to fall in the middle of the stone bench in the courtyard.
But the figure that was still sitting here has disappeared without any sign, without a trace.
Wu Qingxuan narrowed his eyes suddenly, and his pupils suddenly shrank.
At this moment, she even had a strange illusion in her heart.
That is, this fallen leaf was transformed by Wei Daozi of Qinglin Mountain. Although he is a disciple of the sect, his true identity hidden in the deepest part is that he is a juggler who makes a living by relying on his unique tricks to blind people.
And he must be the top magician, otherwise how could he completely hide her perception without even having a flash of light in front of her eyes?
Boom!!!
The ground shook slightly.
A puff of smoke and dust rose up.
Then Wu Qingxuan's eyes suddenly blurred.
When I lowered my head and looked again, I couldn't help but open my mouth slightly. I wanted to say something, but I didn't know where to start.
On the stone table, a solitary head stood in the center, its wide-open eyes full of confusion, as if at the last moment of its life, it didn't know what happened.
A mixture of red and white viscous liquid slowly overflowed from the fracture, and soon spread a moist trace on the surface of the stone table.
"Is he the evil giant you just mentioned?"
Wei Tao just asked, then he shook his head.
His expression was calm and his tone was gentle, "I don't think it should be. After all, for a guy like him who doesn't deserve to be on the stage, Mr. Ou can at least fight several people by himself. Does he deserve the title of a giant of evil?"
Gudong...
Wu Qingxuan looked at the head again, her throat surged involuntarily, and she swallowed a mouthful of saliva with difficulty.
This kind of thing is not worthy of publicity?
This person is a close servant of Prince Yan, and his cultivation has reached the level of mysticism, but he has become something that cannot be put on the stage.
However, she did not expect that apart from Ni Xun in Qinglin Mountain, this young man who was obviously a new Taoist would have such strength.
After a few thoughts in an instant, Wu Qingxuan turned to look at his younger brother Wu Qingxun, and a new hope suddenly arose in his heart.
"This person is not Wei Jueyan. Wei Jueyan should still be on his way here!"
She took a deep breath, exhaled heavily, and knelt down on the ground without hesitation, "Daozi is very powerful. I hope I can take my younger brother away, as long as he can save his life..."
"Your Highness is wrong again. Wei Jueyan should have arrived here and is hiding in the dark, watching and waiting."
Wei Tao smiled slightly and said, "However, this person has a cautious character. Before committing suicide personally, he insisted on using the lives of his subordinate warriors to test the reality of my Yuan Daozi.
Of course, the more likely scenario is that he doesn't really take me seriously, and it's not because of me that he can't hide it, but because he doesn't know whether the Taoist master is lurking on the side, so he has to find out clearly.
Will decide whether to show up."
Suddenly the footsteps started again.
Wu Qingxuan turned around and saw a woman in white clothes and a sword hanging from her waist quietly appearing in front of the small courtyard door.
Her face suddenly changed, and she lowered her voice and said hastily, "She is the Xuangan swordsman that Prince Yan paid a lot of money to hire. She is more difficult to deal with than ordinary warriors. There was once a terrifying situation where one person killed four warriors of the same realm with a single sword.
Achievements!"
Wei Tao nodded and suddenly patted the magic sword on his waist, "Your Highness Qingxuan, you just think she is a swordsman, haven't you seen the three-foot green blade hanging on my body?"
"Could it be that Wei Daozi is also a swordsman!?"
Wu Qingxuan's eyes suddenly lit up, but then dimmed again, "It's a pity that my strength is low. Apart from risking my own life, I can no longer help Daozi."
"It's a true bond of blood, a touching brother-sister bond."
The woman in white narrowed her narrow eyes and sneered in her voice, "In order for her relatives to survive, Her Highness Qingxuan worked very hard and did not hesitate to die.
But having said that, if it weren’t for your father’s stubbornness and ignorance, how could so many troubles have arisen?”
She smiled slightly and spoke lightly, the sword at her waist chirped spontaneously, and bursts of dragon roars came out.
Even the hand holding the sword was unconsciously bleeding, but it was all absorbed by the long sword without even a drop of blood dripping down.
The waves in Wei Tao's eyes flickered, and there was a hint of curiosity.
He could clearly feel that the woman in white opposite him was enduring great pain.
But she didn't seem to reject this kind of pain. Instead, she was immersed in it happily, and accumulated it bit by bit. When the pain reached the most intense moment, she could use the three-foot green sharp edge in her hand to bloom the most splendid murderous sword intent.
.
When Wei Tao thought of this, he stood up from the stone bench and slowly came closer.
Separated by a courtyard gate, the two people stood facing each other.
The same long sword hangs from the waist, and the same hand holds the hilt.
One is in fluttering white clothes, and the other is in solemn clothes.
To be continued...
