The general went out again at night

Chapter 80 Walking on Thin Ice

"Going out to buy something?" Xia Qingshu turned over from the bed and sat up, rubbing her still heavy head and asked.She twisted her stiff neck, reached out and took out the things under the pillow, wrapped them in her hands, and put them in her pockets.

"Yeah, we're leaving early tomorrow morning, so it's definitely too late to buy. I thought I had some free time just now, so I went out before it was dark." Seeing Xia Qingshu's dry lips, Ji Qianyao lifted the teacup, He poured a cup of tea and handed it to her.

"I slept so deeply that I didn't know when you left." Xia Qingshu's tone was low, with some annoyance and a gloomy expression on his face.She took the teacup with both hands, held the rim of the cup, and took a sip.

"Half an hour ago, I saw that you were sleeping soundly, so I deliberately slowed down my steps." Ji Qianyao sat on the stool opposite Xia Qingshu, patted her knee, and looked at her with a smile: "Sujin is with me Well, don't worry."

Hearing this, Xia Qingshu's expression and tone became a little quicker, and he said meaningfully: "Fortunately, Sujin is here."

The two were sitting by the bed and chatting, but they didn't know that a thin vine came through the crack in the wooden wall of the next room, and stuck to the ground limply, with a tiny point exposed.

The fine vines extended along the floor to the back of the wooden cabinet on the east side of the wing room, slowly climbed up, and then wound around the back of the wooden cabinet.This thin vine is the other ear of "Su Jin".

She heard clearly what the two people next door said.It's just... After listening for more than half an hour, she felt relieved when she saw that the two of them hadn't become suspicious of her, so she shook her arm and called Xiteng back.

In the next wing room, candles were burning brightly, and the room was very bright. "Su Jin" was lying on the reclining chair, her head was slightly raised, her eyes were empty and lifeless.She looked at the ceiling of the wing room, her face suddenly twitched, and then, the skin on her face began to change, and a face different from Su Jin appeared.That's what Ji Qianyao looked like.

The neck turned, and in the blink of an eye, the skin on her face became different again.This time it was changed to Xia Qingshu's appearance.

She is hesitating.She wondered if it would be easier to succeed by changing a method?For example, choose one of Ji Qianyao and Xia Qingshu, but...the two are too familiar with each other, no matter which one of them is replaced, it is easy to be exposed, so this method is not advisable.

It would be more appropriate to use Su Jin's face, but what troubles her is the hiding place of the fragments.She knew that the fragment was in the hands of the two, but she didn't know where they hid it.As Su Jin, it will take a little more effort to find out where the fragments are hidden.

On balance, she chose to maintain the original.

Closing her eyes, "Su Jin"'s appearance changed again, this time it was a strange man she just met on the street.No matter who's appearance, as long as she has seen it once, she can easily recognize it, and it is exactly the same, ordinary people cannot distinguish it.

"Su Jin" is very confident in her spiritual power, but she also has something to fear, so she can't act rashly.What made her shy away was the rusty sword in Xia Qingshu's hand.More than a hundred years ago, it was this rusty sword that ruined her face and broke her tendons, making it impossible for her to show her true appearance to others.

This rusty sword must be destroyed tonight!

With a flash of appearance, a face covered with ugly scars was exposed in the air, which was the original appearance of "Su Jin".The slender fingers slowly lifted up, caressing the uneven skin, again and again, over and over again.

"Guest officer, all your dishes are ready, please take your time." Xiao Er brought the dinner and arranged it plate by plate.Just about to set the dishes, Ji Qianyao stopped him, "I'll do these, you go down first."

"Okay, guest officer, eat and drink well." Xiao Er left quickly.

Ji Qianyao raised his eyes and said, "Call Su Jin here while it's hot."

Xia Qingshu tied the Rusty Sword around his waist, and after straightening it out, he said, "I'll call."

Su Jin sat down, and the three moved their chopsticks together.

"The rare big fish and big meat, eat more, you have suffered a lot these days." Seeing Su Jin has been picking up the rice in the bowl, but not eating vegetables, Ji Qianyao picked up a piece of fish and sent it to her bowl In, "Come on, try this."

"That's not necessary, I'll do it myself." Su Jin stretched out the bowl to pick it up, showing an embarrassed smile.Then he took two bites, chewed and swallowed the whole piece of fish.

After dinner, it was late at night, and the servants in the inn took away the leftovers. Ji Qianyao opened the window and fanned it with a round fan to drive away the smell in the room.

"Tomorrow I have to get up early and go on my way. You guys should rest early. I'll go back to the room first." Su Jin didn't stay in the room of the two of them for a long time, she stayed there for a while to explain her intention to go back to the room.

Ji Qianyao and Xia Qingshu had no reason to keep her, and nodded in unison.

The wax on the stage was blown out, and everything around was plunged into boundless darkness.Their wing room is located at the innermost end of the third floor, it is very quiet, and the rustling sound of the wind blowing the window sash can be heard clearly.

A dangerous atmosphere permeated the air.

Ji Qianyao and Xia Qingshu lay on their backs on the bed, feigned sleep, and waited with bated breath.

Time passed slowly, and in the dark wing room, a pair of eyes stared at the wooden wall to the west, emitting a faint blue light.A scarred face loomed in the light.

After another flash, the blue light disappeared, and the people in the room were also hidden in the darkness.

The watchman walked across the street and knocked on the clapper in his hand.He lowered his head and walked forward under the hazy moonlight. Suddenly, his head hurt and he bumped into an unknown object.

Just as the watchman was about to raise his head, a cold leaf stuck to his mouth, blocking his voice.Immediately afterwards, something strange climbed up his body like a snake and wrapped around his neck.

His pupils dilated with fear.The next moment, the thing wrapped around his neck suddenly tightened, and he could no longer make any sound.Instead of falling to the ground, his weak body rose into the air, and a thin vine bound him and sent him outside the moat.

Her blue eyes were lifted up, she stood on the street, looking at the open window of the wing room on the third floor, then with a flash, she grabbed the edge of the window and jumped in silently.

The moonlight was dim, and two raised figures could be vaguely seen.They were not her target tonight.

Turning her eyes, "Su Jin" focused on the rusty sword on the side of the bed.She untied the thing she brought from her waist, quickly exchanged it with the rusty sword, and then jumped out the window and left.

She is not only good at disguise, but also knows how to barter, it is enough to mix the fake with the real.

After traveling through the forest for more than half an hour, "Su Jin" came to the lake.She stood by the lake, looked coldly at the embroidered sword in her hand, and threw it into the lake as soon as she raised her hand.
