Chapter 725 Yunya Ancient Town (Part )

"hiss!"

The shocking eight words shocked Liu Xunyi, who did not know the truth. Although he was still unclear about the source of the note, his intuition after years of life and death told him that this arrow must not be shot without a purpose, and there must be some unknown danger hidden behind it.

Thinking of this, Liu Xunyi felt a chill down his spine for no reason.

After a moment's thought, Liu Xunyi pointed his finger into the air, and a stream of energy shot out, extinguishing the candle on the table. At the same time, he jumped up from the bed, moved like a rabbit in the dark room, and flashed under the window in the blink of an eye.

He used two fingers to gently push the tightly closed window open a crack, then cautiously looked out, trying to find out the source of the arrow.

However, there were only empty streets and dark houses outside the window. No matter how hard Liu Xunyi searched, he could not find any clues.

I don't know why? A strange thought suddenly flashed through Liu Xunyi's mind, as if he had seen this scene before, but he couldn't remember where he had seen it.

Half an incense stick later, Liu Xunyi withdrew his gaze with disappointment, walked back to the table with a heavy heart, and relit the candlestick.

However, at the moment the candle flame was lit, Liu Xunyi's eyes seemed to be stimulated by the candlelight, and he suddenly felt dizzy and his spirit sank.

When Liu Xunyi shook his head subconsciously and walked towards the bed, he found strangely that his legs were out of control and he couldn't help but feel weak. If he hadn't held the corner of the table in time, he would have fallen to the ground.

"what happened?"

Finally realizing that something was wrong, Liu Xunyi immediately perked up and looked around the room with his sparkling eyes.

It was not until this moment that he gradually became aware that a faint and strange fragrance had been filling the room.

"What's that smell? Is it... incense?"

Feeling his head becoming increasingly dizzy and his spirit gradually weakening uncontrollably, Liu Xunyi's face suddenly changed, with a look of deep horror emerging between his brows.

Without having time to think, Liu Xunyi stumbled and pushed the window open. When the fresh air blew in his face and penetrated his heart, he felt that the chaotic and stuffy chest was gradually relieved.

"There's a problem..." Liu Xunyi dug his nails into his flesh, hoping to keep himself awake through the pain, and staggered towards the door. "There's something wrong with this store, I must tell General Xu so that he can take precautions early... Huh?"

When he reached the door, Liu Xunyi inadvertently noticed that between the door and the threshold, there was a finger-long incense stick with wisps of smoke burning.

Moreover, the closer you get to the burning incense, the stronger the drowsiness you feel.

"It's really an incense!"

Liu Xunyi hurriedly crushed the incense with his fingers, then opened the door and staggered out of the room barefoot.

"Liu...Lord Liu?"

The soldier guarding outside the door seemed to have not expected Liu Xunyi to come out. He was immediately startled and a look of panic flashed across his face.

"Have you spotted anyone suspicious?" Liu Xunyi said as he held the incense in his hand in front of the sergeant and explained, "Someone just set up an incense in my room."

"This..." Seeing the incense, the soldier's eyes became more and more erratic, "I didn't see anything..."

"Really?" Liu Xunyi frowned, and looked at the timid sergeant with suspicion, and asked, "You have been guarding here all the time?"

"No! I just came over..." The soldier answered hastily, but the more he tried to cover up, the more suspicious Liu Xunyi became.

"Forget it! I'll go ask General Xu."

After saying that, Liu Xunyi walked towards Xu Guangsheng's room. Seeing this, several soldiers who were patrolling nearby changed their expressions and quickly surrounded him.

"Master Liu, General Xu has already fallen asleep..."

"Just shout, I have urgent business, please get out of the way." Liu Xunyi urged while pushing several soldiers who were blocking his way.

"bass!"

Perhaps it was because he was too nervous, but when a young soldier saw Liu Xunyi rushing forward, he subconsciously drew his sword and pointed it at Liu Xunyi's chest.

This scene not only surprised Liu Xunyi, but also stunned several soldiers around him.

For a moment, there was complete silence, everyone looked at each other, and the atmosphere became very awkward.

"What are you doing?" Liu Xunyi looked at the flustered young soldier and asked suspiciously, "I just want to see General Xu, why are you drawing your sword?"

"General... the general has gone to bed, so... so..." The young soldier seemed to realize that his actions were a bit too much, and he immediately felt regretful. However, the sword had been unsheathed and it was impossible to take it back, so he was hesitant and hesitant, and his speech became hesitant and incoherent.

At this moment, the soldiers around were all stunned and at a loss, and no one knew how to end the situation.

"Even if I disturb General Xu's rest, you won't draw your sword against me, right?"

The soldiers' repeated strange behavior made Liu Xunyi feel that something was fishy. He even suspected that there seemed to be a connection between the hidden arrow, the incense, and Xu Guangsheng.

"I……"

"Snapped!"

Before the young soldier could find an excuse, Liu Xunyi suddenly swung his right arm and slapped the young soldier hard in the face, making him dizzy and full of stars.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Liu Xunyi's right hand slid down, grabbing the young soldier's wrist like an eagle's claw, and then pinched it with five fingers, causing the young soldier to feel pain and subconsciously loosen the knife handle. Liu Xunyi took the knife and turned his wrist at the same time. The bright blade instantly changed direction and pressed against the young soldier's neck. "Swish, swish, swish!"

A single move can affect the entire body. The moment Liu Xunyi clamped the young soldier, the soldiers around him no longer hesitated. They drew their swords and cast angry and fearful looks at Liu Xunyi.

"There is indeed a problem!" Liu Xunyi held the young soldier in front of him, looking around cautiously, with a hint of viciousness in his eyes, "There are no other customers in the store. You were the one who put the incense in my room, right?"

Faced with Liu Xunyi's questioning, several soldiers looked at each other but remained silent.

Seeing this, Liu Xunyi had guessed the answer in his heart. He was puzzled and angry at the same time. He said angrily: "Why do you do this? Who ordered you to do this? Is it Xu Guangsheng? Where is he?"

"I'm here!"

With a cold voice, Xu Guangsheng walked out of the room slowly with a sharp knife in hand. Seeing Liu Xunyi wearing a single piece of clothing, with sleeves rolled up and barefoot, he couldn't help but raise a sneer of contempt.

"What does this mean?" Liu Xunyi threw the incense on the ground and questioned Xu Guangsheng.

"It's meaningless." Xu Guangsheng picked up the incense leisurely and muttered to himself, "Such a good incense, but it didn't knock you down. What a miscalculation."

In fact, if it weren't for the sudden arrow that made Liu Xunyi more alert and accidentally realized something was wrong, he might have fainted from the incense without realizing it.

"Why did you plot against me?" Liu Xunyi was angry and annoyed, and at the same time full of doubts, "You and I have no grudges against each other, what good would it do you to plot against me?"

"You take money from people and help them get rid of disasters." Xu Guangsheng joked, "Someone has offered a high price to buy your life."

"Who is it?" Liu Xunyi quickly calculated in his mind, "Is it Lu Tingxiang? I know you are relatives, did he ask you to harm me?"

Xu Guangsheng sneered: "Maybe the King of Hell will tell you."

"you……"

Before he could finish his words, there was a sudden chaotic and noisy sound of footsteps on the street outside the store, accompanied by a series of whispers.

"what happened?"

Liu Xunyi was shocked and looked down hurriedly, only to see a crowd of people on the dim and narrow street, rushing towards Yunya Town.

"Xu Guangsheng, outside is..."

Before he could finish his words, hundreds of masked men in black armed with knives and swords rushed into the store and blocked the door and stairs.

"The yellow sand wears golden armor in a hundred battles."

"Unless Loulan is broken, he will never return it."

Before Liu Xunyi could recover from the shock, Xu Guangsheng had already exchanged secret signals with this group of black-clad men of unknown origin.

Hearing this, Liu Xunyi's face instantly turned extremely ugly, with surprise, suspicion, anger, ashamed... For a moment, a thousand feelings surged into his heart, making Liu Xunyi confused and uneasy.

He knew that Xu Guangsheng and this group of sudden black-clad men were birds of a feather and had been colluding with each other for a long time.

"General Xu, you've worked hard." The leading black-clad man stared at the helpless Liu Xunyi with a pair of sinister eyes, and said with a half-smile, "Leave Liu Xunyi to us. General, you can go back and rest, or go outside to see the excitement."

"outside?"

Suddenly, Liu Xunyi thought of the group of uninvited guests who had just poured into Yunya Town, and thought of Zhao Xin who was in danger at the moment and was completely unaware of it. His heart was suddenly in suspense, and deep worry instantly replaced his rationality, causing him to uncontrollably produce one terrible thought after another.

"Xu Guangsheng, you actually colluded with the rebels to plot evil?" Liu Xunyi shouted angrily, "To deal with me, there is no need to mobilize a large army. Your target tonight is not only me, but also who else? Is it the princess?"

"Liu Xunyi, haven't you always dreamed of staying with the princess forever?" Xu Guangsheng said with a sly smile, "You should thank me because I made your dream come true. After tonight, you will be able to spend the rest of your life with your beloved princess, forever in the afterlife. Haha..."

With a burst of wild laughter, Xu Guangsheng turned and left. More than a hundred men in black quickly surrounded him with a fierce look in their eyes, blocking Liu Xunyi's way.

"Once the fight starts, Brother Su and Sui Zuo will definitely take the lead in protecting the King of Hexi. Feng Tianba's martial arts are not good, and Ding Qinghong is hard to tell good from evil..." Liu Xunyi pondered secretly, feeling more and more anxious, "If so, won't Xin'er be in danger? No! I can't let Xin'er get into trouble, I must protect her..."

Liu Xunyi had no intention of getting involved with these men in black because he was concerned about Zhao Xin's safety. With a fierce look in his eyes, he pushed the young soldier towards the men in black who were ready to make a move, and took advantage of the chaos to get away and flash into the room.

"kill him!"

I don't know who roared, but in an instant, hundreds of men in black rushed into the guest room with knives in hand like crazy, and broke the door down.

"call!"

A burst of energy came roaring and knocked away the seven or eight men in black who were rushing in the front.

In a hurry, Liu Xunyi had no time to change clothes and put on boots. He hastily picked up the Wuji sword, flew through the window, jumped down from the second floor, and rushed to the North Street store barefoot as fast as sparks.

However, before he took a few steps, the scene before him made his heart sink, and his eyes instantly became solemn.

The dark and narrow streets were filled with masked men in black holding swords and knives. They were walking northward when they heard a noise behind them. They stopped and turned around, looking at Liu Xunyi with bloodthirsty eyes.

Liu Xunyi missed Zhao Xin and had no intention of fighting, so he turned around and tried to find another way out. However, he did not expect that hundreds of men in black in the West Street store had rushed out one after another, completely cutting off his retreat.
