This master is fake and cold

After finishing the meal, Chang Le took Xi Shi and others to leave the Bai family courtyard.Almost at the moment when they got into the carriage, there was a loud bang from the other courtyard, and a ball of fire shot straight into the sky.Su Er hastily drove the carriage forward for a certain distance, to avoid his group from being affected by the fire.

The fire may have been fueled by something, and the rain had stopped, and the flames raged in every corner of the other courtyard, with a madness that nothing could stop.The fire quickly spread like a prairie fire.But it was just this short time, when Changle turned his head to look again, there was only a mass of charred ruins in the place where he had just been, and all the flaws were completely buried under it.

Goya glanced at Xi Shi where Anran was sitting, she was looking at the sky outside the window, her brows and eyes were soft, as if she was not thinking about anything.But it seemed that he had expected the scene in front of him a long time ago, and he didn't look surprised at all.Goya secretly thought, this is too coincidental, maybe this is her handwriting.Thinking of this, Goya secretly glanced at his master's slightly frowning brow again, and wanted to warn him to be careful of this woman, but because of Xi Shi's presence, he had to give up temporarily.

But his master is so smart, how could he not think of these things?For an outsider, it is impossible for her not to be wary at all.Goya couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief again, thinking to himself that his worries were unfounded.

Chang Le leaned against the wall of the carriage, and said in a calm tone, "Your master's way of doing things is decisive and straightforward. If a courtyard is said to be burned, it will be burned."

Xi subconsciously followed her gaze.There were still flames left on the ruins, and the fiery red was blown up and down by the cold wind, and it looked extraordinarily arrogant in its teeth and claws.In the flames, the red dress moved with the wind, the red was dazzling, and the owner of the red dress was even more stunningly beautiful.This time, this scene can teach all men in the world to fall in love with it.But for some reason, against the background of the gray sky, the owner in red abruptly added a bit of sadness and desolation.

This is a scene that none of them can see.Xishi looked and looked, but also lost his mind for a moment.That touch of red fell into her eyes, which only made her feel glaringly tight.The loss and despair that go deep into the bone marrow are emotions that she has also experienced before.

Bloody sky, broken limbs.A drop of blood splashed into his eyes for no reason, and the whole world was quietly covered in red.The dazzling red and the smell of blood, after so many years, I still can't forget it and can't let it go.

Xishi pursed her lips tightly, and forced herself to look away.Turning her head around, she realized that Chang Le had been staring at her, obviously all her emotional changes just now were completely lost in her eyes.She felt a little nervous subconsciously, and lowered her head slightly.There was a trace of doubt in Chang Le's eyes, and she also looked in the direction of the other courtyard, but she still didn't find anything.

Su Er started to drive the carriage again, and he softly asked Chang Le for instructions on where to go next.Chang Le thought for a moment, his eyes lingered on Xi Shi for a moment, and suddenly smiled lightly: "Let's go and have a look at those shops."

Su Er responded, and the carriage drove steadily towards the north of the city.

The shop Chang Le mentioned was naturally the 26 Zhenbao Pavilion shop that Xi Shi's master gave her as an apology.Speaking of this Zhenbao Pavilion, it has to be said that the owner of the Four Seas Trading Company is rich and powerful.The Zhenbao Pavilion is different from those shops under Changle. The Zhenbao Pavilion specializes in the business of the upper class dignitaries, with weapons, jade and antiques.The daily income of these shops alone is enough to support all the expenses of the entire Princess Palace in Changle.

It was not a sudden whim that Chang Le chose to visit the Zhenbao Pavilion shop at this time.At this time, the shop had just been transferred to her hands, no matter how fast those people moved, they would not be able to erase all the traces.As long as there is a little clue, relying on her identity and the power of her subordinates, she can easily find out the inside story of the Universal Trading Company.

"At that time, you have to give us a good introduction to the situation." Chang Le said, listening to her words, there was no abnormality on Xi Shi's face, and she obediently complied.

But in the end, Chang Le was disappointed.In the five Zhenbao Pavilion shops in the capital, from the shopkeeper and the accountant to the ordinary handyman, all the people and horses have been changed during this period.The people who came up were all newly hired people, who had absolutely no understanding of the situation in the shop.This is still the case in the capital city, the sky is high and the emperor is far away, the further away the emperor's family's control becomes, the weaker it is, not to mention the Zhenbao Pavilion shops in other counties and counties in the Daqing Dynasty.

Toss for a day, to no avail.Chang Le shook his head secretly, and his fear of the people behind the scenes increased a bit.

Su Er picked up the carriage and went back home, Xi Shi sat by the window, Chang Le's eyes fell on her.Xi Shi hugged his sword, not knowing what he was looking at, his brows were slightly frowned.Chang Le thought in his heart: In fact, he didn't get nothing, at least he got a cheap subordinate.It doesn't matter, the future is long, she doesn't believe that the Four Seas Trading Company will not show its feet.

The sun was about to set, and Xi Shi's hand unconsciously clenched the hilt of the sword, thinking silently: It's going to be dark.

Speechless all the way.

After driving for a while, the carriage suddenly slowed down.Everyone in the car noticed something was wrong, and before Chang Le could ask any questions, Su Er's startled and angry voice came into the car clearly: "Master, the road ahead is blocked."

This is the capital city, at the feet of the emperor!Which force dares to be so bold?Everyone in the car was startled, and Xi Shi was the first to lift the curtains. Before he could see the situation outside, he felt a gust of wind blowing over his head and face.

"--when"

The two swords collided and sparks shot out.The loud noise produced by the collision caused everyone's ears to buzz for a moment, Xishi took advantage of the momentum to force the assassin back, tilted his head inward and said softly: "Master, please stay in the car and don't come out, just leave these people to me .”

This assassination is too coincidental, isn't it?Su Er didn't dare to go forward to meet the enemy, he guarded around the carriage, not only guarding against the assassin, but also guarding against Xi Shi.Xi Shi glanced at him, raised his sword and met the assassin.

The sudden attack did not cause much panic. Everyone has seen this kind of situation a lot, so they naturally know how to deal with it is the best.Goya knelt on Chang Le, nervously watching the chaotic fight.Changle Anran looked at the situation outside, calm from beginning to end.

It was going to be winter soon, and it was getting dark early, and it took them a lot of time to go to the five shops in the afternoon, and it was already dark at this time.This area used to be the mansion of a nobleman, but a few years ago, that nobleman raised private soldiers with the intention of rebelling, and the former emperor wiped out nine clans, and a flourishing big family declined.Ever since the families of the rich and powerful were ransacked and beheaded, this area was regarded as ominous and almost abandoned by people.

This alley is very narrow, there is only one passage in front and back, and it is the only road from the south of the city to the Princess Mansion.The assassins used boulders to seal off the road in front of them, no one lived around here, even if something happened to them here today, there is no way to ask for help.

The situation was urgent, Chang Le subconsciously looked in the direction of Xi Shi and the others.The assassin was dressed in black, tightly wrapped.There were surprisingly few of them, only three of them.While Xishi was waving his long sword, he dragged two of them abruptly.As Changle's confidant, Su Er's kung fu is also first-class.But in the current scene, Xi Shi could easily block the assassin alone, but Su Er was just struggling to hold on.The speed of his moves is not as fast as the assassin's dodge, and it seems that he will lose in a short time.

This is the first time Chang Le saw Xi Shi's skill.Looking at it, Chang Le realized something was wrong.Xi Shi, the assassins and Su Er seem to be people from two worlds.Regardless of the strength, speed or angle of the move, Xi Shi and the assassins were far behind Su Er.Let me ask, the opponent's moves are too fast, even the shadow of his sword can't be seen. How can such a completely one-sided situation be called a competition?

Unable to attack for a long time, the woman couldn't help feeling a little anxious in her heart, and said angrily: "Xi Shi, why, give me an explanation!"

The two assassins attacked together, and the powerful sword hit Xi Shi's shoulder hard. She felt that half of her shoulder lost consciousness for a moment, but after the numbness passed, the severe pain that followed made her unable to speak. come out.The fight reached this point, and the three of them finally separated. Xi Shi bit her lip hard, tried to stay awake, and said flatly, "I'm just following orders."

The woman smiled angrily: "Okay! Okay! Okay! What a good one to follow orders! You should be loyal to your new master! Now we are our own masters, and my task is to kill her, which is my current strength. It’s not as good as you, and you don’t need to give way!”

Xishi pursed her lips and did not answer.Although their voices did not deliberately raise their voices, they still spread far away in this dark and empty place.However, the strange thing is that neither Chang Le in the carriage nor Su Er outside the carriage seemed to hear the slightest bit of their conversation.

"Xi Shi, you are a good killer, but you will not be a good guard." The woman said.Unlike the anger just now, her voice suddenly calmed down, and the release and withdrawal of this emotion was so weird that it was shocking.She let out a whistle, and the other two assassins withdrew without hesitation, and the group quickly disappeared from her sight without looking back.

Xi Shi was taken aback, before he had time to think about the meaning of her words, he suddenly turned his head.At some point, a sharp arrow appeared on Chang Le's chest.She didn't seem to notice it until the blood spurted out from her chest, staining her clothes red, and the bloody smell spread. Only then did Goya notice her strangeness, and couldn't help but exclaimed: "Master, master..."

She was so anxious that she was about to cry, trembling, she wanted to stop the bleeding for Chang Le first.With the faint light of the residential houses in the distance, Xishi saw that the whole body of the arrow was crystal clear.It was an arrow made of ice.

Her heart is slightly cold.At this time, it has not yet entered winter, and although the temperature is low, there is still a long way to go before the dripping water turns into ice.

When did they move their hands?Why doesn't she feel anything?
