Chapter 1830: Driving the tiger away from the mountain
Chapter 1830: Driving the tiger away from the mountain
Huo Changhe recalled that some people on the roadside had also mentioned it at that time.
One of the dead was named Ah Qi, an orphan who grew up eating at many people's homes. Although his life was not easy, he was a very optimistic person.
His old house was also registered, and he had a small yard and a small shop. The girl's family who often helped him also agreed to his marriage with the girl.
Just waiting for a good day to get married and start a family.
Everyone felt sorry for him, and some people said that he recently took in a beggar because he thought of the suffering he had endured and wanted to warm others.
Huo Changhe made a prompt decision: "Let's go to Ah Qi's house."
Ah Qi was supposed to live in the place arranged by the government, but there were a few elderly people who had helped him before and rented a small courtyard. In order to take care of them more conveniently, he also lived nearby.
There was a small thatched hut that was usually uninhabited. The owner knew that he was there to help others and he had nothing to do anyway, so he let him stay there.
When we got near Ah Qi's house, the lights were still dimly on inside.
Yinding whispered, "Your Highness, Ah Qi's body is in the government office. There should be no one here."
All three of them were wearing masks, their voices were muffled when they spoke, and their expressions could not be seen.
Huo Changhe nodded and made a gesture, and the three of them dispersed and surrounded the small thatched hut.
Huo Changhe was in the middle, his sword slowly unsheathed, with a flash of light, it had already pierced into the house.
There was a man squatting by the fire in the house, the smell of blood was wafting in the air, and something was cooking in the pot.
The man was completely unprepared and startled. He reached under the pile of firewood next to him, as if trying to touch something.
Silver ingot swept the pile of firewood away with one stroke, but there was nothing underneath, only a stick that was smoother than the other firewood.
Huo Changhe pointed a sword at his throat and the silver ingot stepped on his back.
Jin Ding looked around and shook his head.
"Look up!" Huo Changhe said.
The beggar raised his head with fear in his eyes.
His face was covered with stains and his features could not be seen clearly, but his eyes were intact and not ghost eyes.
Huo Changhe asked angrily: "Who are you? Why are you here?"
The beggar was so frightened that his soul flew away: "I... I am... I am just begging for food. I have nowhere to go. My benefactor told me that I can stay here for a few days."
Yinding gritted his teeth in anger: "What benefactor? Ah Qi?"
"No, it's not," the beggar whispered, "I don't know what he's going to be called, but it's not Ah Qi."
Huo Changhe thought: "Is it because he is a man and can't see with one eye?"
The beggar nodded: "Yes, I don't know if it's because I can't see, but it's different from normal people anyway."
Huo Changhe's heart sank: Oh no!
……
Yan Ruyu sent Huo Changhe out of the house, but was not in a hurry to return to the yard. Instead, she took a walk in the garden.
There are flowers blooming now. I don’t know what kind they are, but they are all the original ones from the Shen Mansion.
Huo Changhe said at the beginning that if she didn't like it, she could just uproot them all and replant them.
Yan Ruyu felt that it was unnecessary. These flowers and trees had grown for many years, which was not easy. People were guilty, but the plants did not make any mistakes.
She walked slowly alone, her mind wandering.
There have been a lot of things going on recently and it’s a mess. I need to sort them out.
Just as I was thinking about it, I suddenly heard a strange noise and a shadow behind me.
Yan Ruyu lowered her hands, ready to take out the two swords from space at any time.
She turned around slowly and saw a person standing in the shadows.
Just from this one glance and this one shadow, one can tell that this person is definitely not a good person and is not from the palace.
Yan Ruyu said calmly: "Ghost eyes?"
Ghost Eyes walked slowly out from the darkness with a sinister smile on his face.
"You are so brave, princess."
When Yan Ruyu saw that it was really him, the slightest panic in her heart disappeared.
"Not as good as you. You dare to come to the palace in this situation."
Ghost Eyes sneered: "It is precisely because I know this situation that I dare to come to the palace."
Yan Ruyu understood instantly: "Lure the tiger away from the mountain?"
"The princess is really smart," Ghost Eyes said with a fierce look on his face, "You are so powerful. You killed so many of us. Even Ghost Hand died in your hands!"
Yan Ruyu smiled faintly: "What's a ghost hand? Soon there will be you, and in the near future, there will be your Mr. Mo's accomplices, and him himself."
"How arrogant!" Ghost Eyes shouted angrily, "You are just a woman, you don't want to take care of your husband and children, and stay in the backyard, but you insist on showing your face and going against men. You are really shameless."
Yan Ruyu was slightly surprised. She thought Guiyan was going to curse at her, but she didn't expect it to be this.
She was so angry that she almost laughed: "It's outrageous. Mr. Mo has used so many women, but I didn't expect that you would still look down on women."
"Those women are nothing more than tools."
"You're not?" Yan Ruyu asked back, "You're not even as good as those women as a tool."
Yan Ruyu gently stroked the bracelet on her wrist and fiddled with the mechanism.
Facing the ghost eyes, using double swords is no match for hidden weapons.
In terms of skills, she is not to be feared, but her ghost eyes are different.
She was afraid of insects to begin with, and the one with the ghost eye was no ordinary insect.
Yan Ruyu thought quickly about how to achieve a surprise victory and capture him as soon as possible.
While she was thinking about these things, Ghost Eyes was also thinking about how to catch her.
Killing them all at once, like those people, would be too boring.
He had finally managed to sneak into the palace and find this opportunity, so he had to make good use of it.
Especially since this woman killed so many of them, causing Mr. Mo a lot of trouble. If he could bring her back alive, it would definitely be a great achievement.
All previous failures can be made up for.
Just when he decided to take action, Yan Ruyu pressed the mechanism on the bracelet!
With a buzzing sound, more than a dozen hidden weapons shot directly at the ghost's eye.
Guiyan was caught off guard, but he was also quite skilled and was used to using underhanded tricks to harm others, so he was somewhat on guard.
He swung his robe to block most of the attack, then turned his body to avoid some.
Only one shot hit the shoulder.
He hissed and blood oozed out.
As soon as the smell of blood came out, his eye became slightly restless and the color was changing.
Yan Ruyu saw it with her own eyes and all the hair on her body stood up.
This is a psychological problem and is extremely difficult to overcome.
Yan Ruyu clenched her back teeth, suppressed her fear, and tried her best to stay calm.
The ghost-eyed man touched the eye, and using some unknown method, the eye returned to normal.
"The princess is really good at this, but this is too dishonorable."
Yan Ruyu was surprised: "How could you say such shameless words?"
"Which of your moves is more brilliant?"
"Is it glorious to kill those innocent people?"
Yan Ruyu's eyes swept to the branch next to him, and then quickly returned to normal.
"What on earth are you doing here?"
Yan Ruyu asked a nonsense question.
It was because of this that Guiyan became suspicious and thought that there was an ambush over there.
He was just hesitating whether to look or not, when Yan Ruyu said again: "Are you here to avenge the ghost hand?"
As he spoke, he glanced over there again.
Guiyan couldn't help himself.
