The Book of Troubled Times

 Chapter 713 They are all actors

Zhao Changhe seemed not to feel the changes in the shadow behind him, and neither did Yue Hongling. The two walked hand in hand for a while. Seeing that the sun was getting late, they mounted their horses together and flew southwest.

Even flying is slow.

The advantage of Wu Zhui being able to fly by himself is that he can fly on the horse... No, he can leisurely sightsee and fall in love on the horse without having to operate it himself.

Yue Hongling also rode a flying horse for the first time. She was held in front of her curiously, facing the wind blowing in her face, and her heart was very smooth: "It's so comfortable, it feels like flying."

 “Hmm,” Zhao Changhe replied vaguely.

 The cold wind blew, causing the young lady’s hair to fly back. Zhao Changhe, who was sitting behind her, wrapped his arms around her waist, his head away from her hair, his chin resting on her shoulder, his face touching hers.

I feel too lazy to talk.

Yue Hongling said: "This is the first time I know that flying at high altitudes also requires practice, otherwise the wind and air waves hitting your face will be unbearable. Wu Hao is still flying slowly, and it will be harder to resist if it goes faster."

"Uh-huh."

"But why don't I feel the power running in your body to resist? Your face is covered with iron sheets?"

"Because the air waves are hiding from me." As she spoke, Yue Hongling felt that the air waves were no longer hitting her face, and her hair fell back.

 She was very surprised: "How good are you now?"

Zhao Changhe didn't answer the question: "Do you want to restore the air waves? I think you like to be blown."

Yue Hongling said: "You just like to be blown away."

 “I like it.”

“…Go away and find Sisi, she is the only one who has no face or skin.”

“She… it’s hard to say whether she still sticks to me now or not before… We are too far apart, and time can dilute a lot of things.”

Yue Hongling squinted her eyes and looked at the setting sun in the distance, and whispered: "What about you? Do you still like her before? Or is it that you didn't really like her before, it was just a conquest?"

Zhao Changhe shook his head: "When she saved me in the blood pool, the bond can no longer be separated. The so-called conquest is between the Middle Earth and the Spiritual Tribe, and this must be like this. The barbarians are afraid of power but not moral, too Say hello to me, something will happen sooner or later, and I have to make them all afraid of me...but this is not a personal matter between me and her."

Yue Hongling seemed to be smiling: "As you said, do you think of her every day?"

"I have thought about it, although not much." Zhao Changhe said honestly: "I don't think about anyone much every day... It's not that I am heartless, it's because things come one after another and I can't breathe. I really don't have the energy to think about others. Of course, if you want to accuse me of being heartless, I will admit it..."

Yue Hongling smiled and said, "Who scolded you? Why don't you love me?"

Zhao Changhe thought her words were strange. He didn't know whether he was jealous or asking questions for Sisi, so he didn't bother to think more, so he turned around and kissed her face.

Yue Hongling shrank her neck and laughed, "Just like a puppy."

 “Am I just a puppy?”

 “Why did I hear that you are a pig?”

“Eh? Who are you familiar with in the Four Symbols Cult from whom did you hear this? You shouldn’t be..."

Yue Hongling smiled and bent over: "It's not your fault."

Zhao Changhe's neck turned red, and he reached out to scratch her, and the two of them started fighting again in the air.

Wuzi: “…”

 You two love to fight, but I am just a horse and can’t handle your nonsense.

The setting sun gradually and completely sets, leaving only a little bit of the upper semicircle still exposed in the sky. On the other side, the bright moon rises, and the sun and the moon shine together. Wu Zhui just arrived at the top of a mountain in front. The horse's hooves were only a few feet away from the top of the mountain below, and the shadow below was extremely obvious. There are many trees on the top of the mountain, and the shadows of the trees are dense and swaying all over the mountain.

The young couple seemed to be tired from fighting, and seemed to be a little emotional in this scene where the breeze in the mountains and forests was just entering the night. They sat on the horse and kissed softly, completely forgetting themselves.

The sky became darker and darker, and the shadows overlapped one after another, unconsciously surrounding the two of them, but they seemed to be unconscious. Yue Hongling's sword was at his waist, and Zhao Changhe's sword was in his ring.

The shadow behind him invaded Zhao Changhe's back silently, and the next moment it stabbed the two of them in pairs.

However, at the moment of stabbing, the two people suddenly separated, and the shadows broke through the air along the middle, and the black hair fled far away. With a "choking" sound, Yue Hongling's long sword was in hand, and Zhao Changhe held a broad knife in his hand, slashing the passing shadows left and right.

The shadow was cut off, and the controller's Qi was connected, and the two men directly pursued him. Two "swish" sounds were heard in the wind. The sneak attack Snow Owl had not yet understood what was happening, but the couple had already surrounded him one after another. Void.

And the thousands of shadows that were originally on the top of the mountain suddenly pierced the sky, piercing the air, and even the people and horses were no longer where they were.

Snow Owl was slightly startled, then shook his head and sighed: "You have been putting on a show. From visiting your subordinates to making out immediately, you have been pretending that you don't know anyone is watching you, and you have been pretending for four or five hours. ."

Zhao Changhe smiled: "After all, you have been an assassin all your life, and your patience is unparalleled. If we are always vigilant, you may not take action if you are not completely sure... If you don't take action and keep watching secretly, how can I live my life?" Are you on tenterhooks, guarding against thieves for a thousand days? You don’t even dare to take action when your wife is by your side... You can live this kind of life, but I can’t. Of course, I have to trick you into taking action once and for all. Otherwise, you think I’m so hungry that I have to chew on the horse. ?”

Yue Hongling: “…”

 Blind man: “…”

 Aren’t you? What misunderstandings do you have about yourself?

Xue Xiao didn't say this but just said: "Whether a person is fully prepared can be easily observed from the performance of muscles and energy. In my opinion, you two are really unprepared. How do you know when I will take action?"

"Guess?" The behind-the-scenes eye thing is really useful if you want to use it. You can completely overlook the situation for several miles around. Basically, you are directly watching all the changes happening under your nose. It is not a mental alert sensor. Of course, you can notice it. There is no sense of tense alertness.

In Zhao Changhe's eyes, everything Xue Xiao did was like an old general on the stage. He worked so hard that he almost wanted to give him a reward. Of course, the young couple themselves are also niche actors on the stage, so they don’t know if Xue Xiao wants to reward them.

He didn't answer, but Xue Xiao didn't force it. He asked from a different angle: "Then how do you know that I am plotting against you?"

Zhao Changhe answered this time: "The so-called closed space can easily give people the impression that you have completely evacuated. Your thinking is mainly about when the space will be connected again, which will inevitably lead to missed thoughts... People want to lurk, what does this have to do with it? What? You can definitely stay here alone, can't you... Your Excellency and An Mie are both accustomed to hiding. They might have watched the monks' bald gecko performance on the top of the secret mountain, and I am 80 to 90 percent sure that it will be. Yes, otherwise what you have done before is meaningless.”

Yue Hongling stood behind him with a sullen face, a little embarrassed. Her thoughts were also taken to space on the spot. For a moment, she didn't expect that the person could stay here. Fortunately, Zhao Changhe's reaction reminded her that she I soon thought of it.

"If someone is lurking, there are only two goals, either to control the Buddha in the temple, or to kill me directly." Zhao Changhe continued on by himself: "I went to visit my old brother, have a drink and talk, and it is far from the temple outside the city. Here we are, just to separate our two goals and see what your choice is. If there are changes in the temple, they should have changed... but there hasn't been, which means the target is me."

Xue Xiao finally said: "Yes, Buddha can make plans at any time, but there are not many opportunities to accidentally encounter the whereabouts of King Zhao. It is precisely that King Zhao has never regarded himself as the main target, and most likely has not taken precautions. This is the best opportunity. The choice is between Next, of course the Buddha will talk about it later.”

Zhao Changhe sighed: "It seems that I have blocked another disaster for the Buddha."

Xue Xiao said lightly: "That's not necessarily the case. Killing King Zhao and then turning back will still be the same."

Zhao Changhe asked curiously: "Hey, you are used to only sneak attacks and not facing the front. I asked you to lose your virginity and be more masculine. Does it look like you really lost your virginity?"

Xue Xiao’s face was expressionless: “It’s just that King Zhao made me think that maybe I can give it a try.”

"Ding!" Yue Hongling suddenly swung her sword to deflect a silent sneak attack. The huge force in her hand made her float back several feet and landed on the treetops below.

 At the same time, Snow Owl's body swayed slightly, and the tip of the sword had reached Zhao Changhe's throat.

Zhao Changhe ducked and tried to turn around to get out of the way, but found that he was a beat too late.

Snow Owl still had the same impression when he drew his sword, but halfway out of the sword, his speed was inexplicably faster, and the aura he showed suddenly exploded - everyone was pretending to be a pig to eat the tiger, his strength was not at the third level of the secret treasure. !

 Just such a misjudgment meant that Xue Xiao's sword had mercilessly cut through Zhao Changhe's throat!
