Meiqiang miserably uses herself as a substitute

As it is said, being seen by a relative of the emperor... This benefit is much greater than being a proper guard of the Shen family.

No matter how loyal a courtier is, there will be rifts with the emperor, but if he marries the royal family, he will not only gain power, but also a stable relationship.

After General Xie Pei went to Chichao, the post of General in the Court was held by Old General Shen, and now it has been handed down to General Zhenyuan.

The Shen family wanted to investigate, but they had to investigate the Chen family first.

The more cautious you are, the more ambitious you are.

Xie Yan glanced at the crowd.

A little girl in a light blue dress was sitting in the center of the pavilion, drinking tea from a cup in a leisurely manner.

From a little distance away, his appearance is not very clear, but judging from his tea-drinking behavior and dressing taste, he should be well-bred.

On the other side, Shen Lihan was chatting with Emperor Mingde, making him laugh out loud, making the waiting time for the hunt seem not so boring.

As for Shen Si and General Zhenyuan, one was in charge of guarding the rest ground, and the other was in charge of guarding the hunting ground.

Shen Si stood on one side, his eyes diverged, as if he felt that the atmosphere was good, and he didn't raise his vigilance.

The scene was very harmonious and peaceful.

Xie Yan leaned against the tree and sighed softly.

Can't see anything.

At this time, there were several voices of conversation coming from behind him, Xie Yan retracted his body, turned to the other side to hide.

Gradually, the voice of the speech became clearer, and the two people were talking about the words "phoenix flower", "mask" and "assassination".

It was talking about Xiao Fei's assassination - the assassin hadn't been caught yet.

The two walked past Xie Yan without seeing him. They were complaining about this troublesome matter without any clues. In the next second, an extremely sharp sword touched one of them's neck from behind.

The other person trembled in fright, knelt down on the ground, and began to beg for mercy: "Great... Hero, please spare me!"

I only heard Xie Yan's cold voice: "People from the palace?"

The two nodded hurriedly: "Yes! People from the palace!"

Xie Yan then asked: "People in the palace, what are you doing here if you don't go hunting?"

The mountains are deserted, except for trees or trees, judging from their appearance, they don't look like guards.

Those two hesitated for a moment, hesitated, and didn't dare to look at Xie Yan. Xie Yan gave a "huh" without seriousness, showing a cold killing intent, and the two immediately said: "I ...We are people from Dali Temple...to investigate...to investigate a person."

Xie Yan narrowed his eyes, "Who is the investigation? Who asked you to come here to investigate?"

The man on the ground trembled and said, "Thank you...thank you..."

Xie Yan sneered: "Xie Yan."

"Ah yes! That's him!" The man's head rested on the ground, "We came out secretly, it's... the third prince suspects the assassin..."

Xie Yan let go of the sword, pushed the man forward, and said coldly, "Get lost."

Those two people rolled and crawled, and ran away without looking back.

When they ran far enough, they turned back, only to see a corner of the white clothes disappearing into the dense forest.

Xie Yan is in a delicate mood now.

He had something to do until the hunt was over.

At the beginning, Xiao Ran provoked him first because he didn't want to pursue it too much, but Xiao Ran insisted on holding on to him, and he wouldn't bear it any longer.

He will not soften his heart for anyone who wants to harm him.

There is only one entrance and exit to the royal hunting ground, but it is not the case. For people with high martial arts skills, they can jump from the mountain where Xie Yan came, and then use the trees below as a buffer.

But it's okay to be able to jump off a cliff as high as the seventh floor, and almost no one in the world's cognition.

Xie Yan sneaked into the hunting ground without a bow, only a dagger and a sword with him.

When he first landed, he gasped, and then bursts of numbness invaded his whole body from the soles of his feet.

Sure enough, even if it was him, the height was too far-fetched. After Xie Yan rested on the ground for a while, he slowly moved a few steps, and when he almost recovered, he took a step to find Xiao Ran.

The hunting ground is very large, and it is full of lush tree crowns from above, and you can't see the side.It seems to be very grand, but in fact, underneath, hidden in the weeds, there are all kinds of strange flowers blooming.

Different from the exotic species in Xiao Li's mansion, these flowers are deeply rooted under the dead leaves, no one loosens the soil for them, and no one often irrigates them to protect them from wind and rain.

Everything changes according to the weather. After experiencing endless wind, frost and darkness, their petite buds and leaves finally see a ray of sunshine in spring and gain the meaning of life.

Thinking of himself, Xie Yan couldn't help raising his eyebrows.

As long as he completes this task, he can leave the darkness like them.

At this moment, although he didn't turn around, Xie Yan could feel a pair of fierce blood pupils staring at him in the forest behind him.

As soon as he came down, he ran into a big beast in the forest.

It was clearly dark in the woods, but Xie Yan seemed to be able to see the big beast, turned around and stared straight at the woods, with dark eyes.

Suddenly, a fierce tiger jumped out of the darkness.

It felt Xie Yan's gaze, and its own spirituality told it that this person was not afraid of him, and didn't even take him seriously.

So it greedily looked at the person in front of it, vowing to take him as today's dinner.

It is the misfortune of that person to encounter it.

But in fact, it was Tiger's misfortune to meet Xie Yan.

Xie Yan was once imprisoned in the hunting ground specially set up by Chi Chao for training, there were eight giant wolves inside, and the weapon given to Xie Yan was only a short knife.

He was locked inside for two days, and fought with hungry wolves for two days before he finally came out alive.

Xie Yan didn't pay much attention to a mere tiger at the moment, instead he gave a playful smile, as if to say "overestimate one's strength".

The tiger was completely enraged by him, roared, opened its claws, and rushed towards it without any skill.

Xie Yan turned around to dodge, without any burden, the tiger made an empty jump, adjusted its direction, opened its mouth again and rushed towards Xie Yan.

Xie Yan still avoided it without any suspense.

In this way, every time the tiger attacked, Xie Yan chose to avoid it, and never made a move, as if it was really a toy.

The tiger was not reconciled, and stopped aside, staring at Xie Yan's eyes as if they could bleed, and swore that it would definitely eat this man today.

The two looked at each other for a moment of truce, and suddenly, the tiger gathered all its strength and once again charged towards Xie Yan fiercely.

Xie Yan was surrounded by densely packed tree trunks, and he couldn't dodge like he did just now. Seeing the tiger rushing towards him, with its bloody mouth approaching, Xie Yan's eyes flashed with murderous intent, and he quickly pulled out the dagger at his waist, and pointed at the tiger. The tiger's mouth inserted hard.

Blood filled the tiger's mouth in an instant, it roared, swung its claws and continued to grab Xie Yan, knocking his bamboo hat to the ground.

Xie Yan looked at the tiger, narrowed his eyes slightly, and inserted the knife a few more times.

The tiger couldn't close its mouth, and could only howl in pain.He met Xie Yan's eyes, and the calmness and coldness in them seemed to peel them alive.

Only then did it realize that it had found the wrong person.

It has been in this mountain hunting ground for many years, and this is the first time it has seen such eyes that seem to look down on all living beings, and it is the first time it has encountered such a person that makes it fear.

Animals always seek advantages and avoid disadvantages, they can instinctively feel that the aura emanating from Xie Yan's body is absolutely extraordinary, that person seems to have walked out of hell, and he has no fear of beasts at all.

The tiger finally struggled a few times in vain and collapsed on the ground.

The stern look in Xie Yan's eyes faded, he pulled out the short knife stuck in its mouth expressionlessly, and then cast an indifferent look at him.

The tiger raised its eyelids with great effort, and looked up at this man who was like the king of Hades among the beasts.

Xie Yan looked sideways: "Still leaving?"

When the tiger saw the look in his eyes, it jumped up, got up and whimpered twice, and fled into the deep forest.

Xie Yan glanced at the blood-stained bamboo hat on the ground, and then looked down at the water stains on the clothes - the saliva left by the tiger.

His expression changed, he picked up the saber he had thrown aside just now, and left here.

Finding a stream path, Xie Yan felt relieved, threw his outer shirt and dagger into it and cleaned it well.

Halfway through the wash, it seemed as if he noticed someone behind him.

Xie Yan turned his head and saw Xiao Zhan standing firmly not far away.

19. Chapter 19

"Have you ever fought with a beast?" Xiao Li walked over, his eyes obviously worried.

"I beat the crap out of a tiger, isn't it great?"

Xie Yan lowered his head and continued to wash his clothes, his eyes were calm, and he didn't see the savage prey when he killed him just now: "But this clothes is pitiful, it's full of the tiger's saliva."

Whether it is a beast or a human, as long as it harms his heart, he can immediately become a human.

Xiao Li nodded: "You like to be clean, that tiger is guilty."

"But I still spared its life." Xie Yan wrung out his clothes and said with a smile, "I'm kind, right?" Xiao Yan sneered and didn't answer.

Xie Yan's smile was slightly restrained. Of course he knew that he was not kind at all, but he just said it casually, trying to make himself happy.

He didn't ask Xiao Yan to say "um".But he kind of hoped that Xiao Yan could answer, instead of a sneer.

He got up, put away the dagger and saber, and walked towards the tree beside him.

"Little Phoenix is ​​of course kind." Xiao Li said, "Otherwise, how could he become the king of all birds?"

Xie Yan paused for a second, then curled his fingers slightly, and continued walking towards the tree.

Xiao Zhan answered, but he felt a little unwilling.

Just a random question, what to answer?

It’s fine to say he’s kind, but why add “of course”?

On the one hand, he said that he was Xiao Fenghuang, and on the other hand, he said that of course he was kind.

But if he is really Little Phoenix, where did the "of course" come from?As if he was supposed to be kind.

He has already been able to kill people without blinking an eye, even a beast will be afraid when it sees him.

In Xie Yan's view, the only way to answer this question is to deny it.
