The general went out again at night

Thin vines with light yellow flowers climbed up the eaves from the back wall, and the thin branches trembled slightly in the evening wind.One turned into two, two turned into four, and soon, the dense green branches covered the back wall and the entire roof.

After the night of the watch, Xia Qingshu's consciousness became more and more chaotic, and he would doze off if he didn't pay attention.

Danger looms.

"Who!" With a shake of his left hand, Xia Qingshu's eyes suddenly opened, and he shouted loudly.Her eyes were fixed on the door.There was someone outside the door, she sensed it.

Her movement awakened Ji Qianyao in his arms. Before Ji Qianyao asked what happened, Xia Qingshu turned over and jumped off the bed, pulled out the rusty sword, and protected her behind him.

The two looked at the door together, Xia Qingshu's eyes were especially fierce.

"Who is it!" Another shout came out of Xia Qingshu's mouth.Ji Qianyao also picked up his weapon and looked at the door warily.

The atmosphere condensed for a moment, and a soft call came from outside the door: "General."

A familiar voice came into her ears, Xia Qingshu loosened her tense arms, and let out a long sigh of relief. She looked back at Ji Qianyao, her eyes were bent, and two words came out of her mouth: "Liuyan."

It turned out to be smoke.Ji Qianyao also breathed a sigh of relief.

The dead bodies of the two were transported back to Nanjing City by Liu Yan, and she entered the palace to report everything that happened in the northern border.

After the report was over, Emperor Hongsu took pity on Yingcai and wanted to promote her, but was rejected by Liuyan.On the surface, Xia Qingshu was dead, and she was a soldier without a master. After resolutely expressing her willingness to resign and go back to seclusion, Emperor Hongsu thought about it and agreed.

Emperor Hongsu had complicated views on Xia Qingshu, on the one hand he cherished her general talent, on the other hand he hated her words and deeds, and sometimes he had to worry about whether she would rebel.Liu Yan is Xia Qingshu's confidant, and consequently, Emperor Hongsu thinks of her in the same way.Being cherished, Emperor Hongsu couldn't help hesitating, did he really have to use her?

the answer is negative.The enemy in the north has been cleared, and the border is peaceful. Dayan doesn't need such outstanding generals.If needed in the future, he should also use the people he cultivated.

Thinking about it this way, Liu Yan's resignation is not a bad thing.Immediately, Emperor Hongsu nodded in agreement.

The next day, Liu Yan, who had returned from the Ministry of Officials, had finished her resignation, and she went straight out of Nanjing City with a burden on her back, heading west all the way.She had contacted Xia Qingshu through Feige, knew the location of the two, and rushed there at full speed.

Liuyan came, and they added another right-hand man, which was a happy event.Xia Qingshu walked to the door, lifted the latch, and opened the door.

Liu Yan was dressed in a black robe, and she was full of dust. She strode in from the door, the sharp swords that were facing each other were retracted into their sheaths, and there was a happy smile on her face: "I just happened to pass by this village, and I chose this house for a while. After resting, it was only at the door that I realized that there was someone in the room, and I was about to draw my sword to face each other, but I heard the general's voice."

Originally, they made an appointment to meet in Nagqu County, Yuanjiang Prefecture, but they arrived in the same village on the same day and met in advance.

"God-sent good luck." Xia Qingshu said with a smile, walking to the square table, she raised her hand and lit a candle.

"You two masters, are there any dangers on the way?" Liu Yan asked with concern, taking off the black hat on her head.

"Liuyan, the two of us will no longer be your masters from now on, you can't call us "master"." Sitting on the edge of the bed, Ji Qianyao said warmly: "You came here to help us We owe you this kindness for knocking down the Tree Coffin Man."

"Liu Yan understands that when I resign from office and go to danger, I am not loyal to the Lord, but righteous to my friends."

Ji Qianyao nodded and smiled: "That's right."

The three of them got together and had a great time.While talking, a slender vine came in through the crack of the window, and none of the three paid attention.The vines struck from behind and wrapped around Ji Qianyao's waist silently.Then, a strong force dragged her backwards.

Xia Qingshu's expression changed suddenly: "Qianyao!" She reached out to grab Ji Qianyao's arm, but failed to catch up, watching her get further and further away from her.

Ji Qianyao's smile froze on the corner of her lips, and that force brought her to the wall of the house, and then, her body hit the back wall and stuck firmly.

The vines wrapped around Ji Qianyao's body continued to divide and intertwined into an inescapable net, covering Ji Qianyao's whole body.

"Qing, Shu..." Ji Qian looked at Xia Qingshu from a distance, and squeezed out these two words with difficulty, and then her lips were covered with vines, and she couldn't speak anymore.

The vine was thin and clinging to Ji Qianyao's body, Xia Qingshu didn't dare to slash it with a knife, so he could only fly to Ji Qianyao's side in two steps, trying to cut off the vine with the blade.

The moment she approached, a sharp knife pierced through the earthen wall behind Ji Qianyao, hitting Xia Qingshu's neck.The sword can pass through a thick earth wall, which shows its strength.

Xia Qingshu quickly stopped her forward movement, leaned to the left, and dodged the attack.But her body hadn't come to a complete stop yet, another blade stabbed at the position of her lower left abdomen, the sword energy was fierce and the speed was extremely fast.

Xia Qingshu leaned back quickly, the sword chased her forward, and the person holding the sword kicked through the window paper and appeared.

"Tree coffin man!" At the same time as Liu Yan reminded him, he raised his sword and attacked, blocking the attack for Xia Qingshu.

The small main house is filled with the fragrance of flowers, the woman's long hair like a waterfall is covered with light yellow flowers, and the turbid eyes that are extremely disproportionate to her appearance sweep back and forth between Xia Qingshu and Liu Yan.Its head was shaking stiffly, and a strange "babbling" sound came out of its mouth.

After the attack was blocked, the tree coffin man stopped in place and did not continue to attack.

Xia Qingshu's eyes shifted from the tree coffin figure to Ji Qianyao's body. Seeing that she was tightly entwined in the vines, unable to break free, she felt extremely anxious.The proton is in the hands of the enemy, she can't guess what the half-human, half-demon thing wants to do, and dare not act rashly.

There is no doubt that Ji Qianyao is her biggest weakness.

"Boom—" During the confrontation between the two sides, the back wall of the main house started to move. First, a crack extended longitudinally, and then the brick wall collapsed, splashing inward.A large hole leaked in the center of the back wall, and another Tree Coffin Man bent over from the hole.

Candlelight illuminates its appearance.Xia Qingshu and Liu Yan who were standing opposite opened their mouths wide, and the tree coffin man walking over was exactly the same as the one in the room, like twins.

Xia Qingshu narrowed her eyes, thinking about the attack she received just now, it was very likely that it was done by two people.One tree coffin man is difficult to deal with, but this time two came at once!And her weakness was restrained by them again, Xia Qingshu, who was standing with her fists clenched, felt a little uneasy.

She was thinking desperately in her mind, and a drop of sweat slid down the left side of her nose.These two tree coffin men attack very fast and their moves are fierce. It must be difficult to bypass them to save people...

Before she could come up with a solution, Xia Qingshu didn't attack rashly, she wanted to see how the situation changed, but unexpectedly, her right hand suddenly rushed forward, and then her whole body also rushed forward.

Xia Qingshu saw that the "rusty sword" in her hand was leading her towards the tree coffin man's lower body.

"Liu Yan, attack the one on the left." During the attack, Xia Qingshu called out loudly.

"Okay." With a sudden kick, flowing smoke flew up, and the sword swung towards the top of the tree coffin man's head.The tree coffin man also swung his sword to fight back, his cloudy eyes fixed on Liu Yan.

Xia Qingshu followed the strength of the rusty sword, and struck the tree coffin figure's leg under the cover of his long skirt.The tree coffin man jumped up, flipped over from Xia Qingshu's head and flew behind her, with the long sword in front of him, and did not take the initiative to attack.

The Rusty Sword in Xia Qingshu's hand was a gift from Ji Qianyao. She didn't practice much, and it was not easy to use it, but today somehow, the Rusty Sword seemed to have a sense of wisdom, guiding her towards the weak man of the tree coffin. Attacking everywhere, the moves are simply ruthless, and when retreating, they can also properly restrain the moves of the tree coffin man.

Could it be that the "thing" that made the tree coffin man afraid in the barracks was this sword?

Xia Qingshu suddenly realized, and his confidence suddenly increased.

She followed the direction guided by the Rusty Sword, added her own strength, and attacked with all her strength.Obviously, the tree coffin man who fought her was gradually losing the wind, and its moves were mainly defensive.But it was different from the tree coffin man who was glued to Liuyan, it seized every opportunity to attack, making Liuyan even more strenuous.

"Liu Yan, switch to the right." Xia Qingshu said out loud.

Liu Yan understood, and a false move caused the tree coffin man to stab her to the left. She took the opportunity to lean back, then fell to the right, and exchanged places with Xia Qingshu after a few rolls.

The tree coffin man that Xia Qingshu attacked earlier kept defending, but she had the upper hand but couldn't hurt it at all.If these tree coffin men are really afraid of her "rusty sword", then after she switches to the left, the tree coffin man on the left should turn his offense into defense.She can take advantage of this transition to get rid of the tree coffin man, and then join forces with Liu Yan to attack the remaining tree coffin man.In this way, their chances of winning will be greatly improved!

This is the only chance to break the deadlock, Xia Qingshu will not miss it.After she rolled to the foot of the tree coffin man on the left, she slashed at its leg with a sword. While the tree coffin man was dodging back, she put one hand on the ground and flew forward, turning the handle of the knife in her hand. , the blade direction suddenly changed.

When the tree coffin man was unprepared, Xia Qingshu's rusty sword pierced through its right abdomen.The "babble, babble" from the tree coffin's mouth became faster and faster, and a painful expression appeared on his face.

Xia Qingshu drew out his rusty sword, kicked the tree coffin man on the shoulder, knocking it to the ground, and then made up a sword, piercing the tree coffin man's chest.

Victory!Xia Qingshu smiled, turned around to get out of Liuyan's trap, and wanted to take advantage of the victory to pursue, but unexpectedly a gust of wind blew through the hole in the back wall, blocking her movement with Liuyan.

In the howling wind, Xia Qingshu struggled to open her eyes, and she saw the uninjured tree coffin man throw himself on the fallen tree coffin man, their bodies slowly fused together, and finally became one.

After a while, the wind stopped, and the tree coffin man disappeared.Xia Qingshu flicked her messy hair, and rushed to Ji Qianyao's side with a few vigorous steps.

"Qianyao." Xia Qingshu called softly, raised the rusty sword, cut off the source of the vines, and then loosened the shackles on Ji Qianyao's body in circles.

"Where is it hurt?" Xia Qingshu asked anxiously.

Ji Qianyao was tied up by the vines so badly, his head was a little dizzy, but there was no damage in the rest, she shook her head with a faint smile on her face, so that Xia Qingshu could feel at ease.

Xia Qingshu hugged Ji Qianyao and patted her shoulder lightly.She looked at the night through the hole in the back wall, and she didn't know how many people who wanted to take her life were hidden in those dark places.What she has to do is to try her best and use all her strength in every battle to protect herself and the people she cares about.

And she always believed that evil could not prevail over good.
