Volume 12 Chapter 24 The True Face of the Corpse
The sharp line of sight is directly locked on the arrow target in front of him.
An arrow rests on the bowstring, and then the bow is fully drawn.
After a long time, the arrow flew out, almost instantaneously, and hit the bull's-eye!
At this time, there was a "snapping" clapping sound behind him.
Qi Shuiyu, who was dressed in white, turned his head. The person who applauded behind her was her husband, Xiahou Fangyan.
This is a huge martial arts training ground, an empty venue, on weekdays, it is a place for the children of the Xiahou clan to train martial arts. Only clan members can enter this place.
"Can't you sleep?" Qi Shuiyu lowered his hand slightly and said, "That's right, this night, I'm afraid that no one from the Xiahou clan can sleep peacefully." ”
"You're right. Especially the Night King, isn't it? ”
Speaking of this, there was some meaningful expression on his face.
Qi Shuiyu's face suddenly changed slightly.
"What do you want to do?"
The distance between the praying water fish and Xiahou Fangyan is not very far. Therefore, she could clearly see Xiahou Fangyan's expression at this moment.
"What do you think I'm going to do?" Xiahou Fangyan looked as usual.
"I understand you." Qi Shuiyu clenched the bow in his hand, "Are you going to do something to the Night King?" Never! The head of the house will not ......"
But when he said this, he suddenly thought of something.
"Could it be...... The head of the house acquiesces to you? ”
"The map should be in the bloodline of the Xiahou family. Isn't it? ”
Qi Shuiyu shook his head: "Xiahou Night King, he is also the bloodline of the Xiahou family. ”
"Do you really think...... Is he from the Xiahou family? ”
After saying this, Xiahou Fangyan smiled: "Don't worry." A gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall. this family. The one who wants to kill the Night King of Xiahou. There are as many as crucian carp crossing the river. to be able to kill him. It's been done a long time ago. The head of the house is certainly a reason, but if he is not sure, who would dare to attack the Night King? Even if you have to do it...... It shouldn't be me. ”
So ...... A name immediately came out of Qi Shuiyu's mind.
"Xiahou...... Scorched Rock? ”
"I'll shoot an arrow too."
Pulled out an arrow from the quiver behind Qi Shuiyu, then took the bow from her hand, and then quickly filled the arrow!
"Water fish, remember. To seize the opportunity, you must act quickly and not be indecisive. ”
"I know. But...... Once you fail......"
"People always have to die. If it fails, it's just a few decades ahead. But once it succeeds, for the people of the Xiahou family, it will be for thousands of generations. ”
The arrow, as the words spoke, rushed towards the target! Then...... Unexpectedly, the arrow that Qi Shuiyu shot over before directly penetrated the center of the circle!
Qi Shuiyu was dumbfounded.
Walk through the poplar in 100 steps. It's not enough to describe! Even if Hua Rong is reincarnated in the Water Margin, it can't be compared with Xiahou Fang's performance!
"Historically. Every victor, before making the most critical step, faces a fate that will never be recovered after defeat. The more you desire, the more you give. ”
At this time, Qi Shuiyu hugged Xiahou Fangyan from behind.
"You know, I've never had the luxury of asking for a thousand generations. What the Xiahou family did was a taboo thing, a ...... A forbidden act for all mankind. ”
Holding the bow in his hand, Xiahou Fangyan pulled out another arrow.
"I was born as a member of the Xiahou family's clan, and I am destined to be impossible to live all my life. Water fish, if you marry into the Xiahou family, it will be impossible to live an ordinary life. ”
Then, the second arrow was shot again!
Qi Shuiyu closed his eyes. Soon, under the corner of his eye, a tear streak.
She hugged Xiahou Fangyan tightly, as if the next moment, he would disappear from her side.
For the Xiahou family, it was an extremely long dark night. Every minute and every second passes, making them so tormented.
And for Xiahou Jiaoyan, it is even more so.
For the clan of the Xiahou family, there is no essential difference between the person who separates the family and the red-clothed slave. However, Xiahou Jiaoyan is the most trusted person by the head of the family among the current family members.
And at this moment......
"That's it...... Is it here? ”
In front of me is a village courtyard full of lights and looks jubilant. This village courtyard can be directly used as a filming location for Republic of China dramas, and there will never be a sense of disobedience.
Over here...... It is the place where the wedding will be held tonight.
And this place, which is about to become a "wedding" venue, is in the process of making final confirmations.
Of course...... The person supervising his work is still Xiahou Tailan.
When the work was almost underway, Xiahou Jiaoyan came to the courtyard of the Zhuangyuan. And Xiahou Tailan, a person is standing there. There was not a single red-clothed servant by her side.
"It's time to leave." Xiahou Jiaoyan said.
However, Xiahou Tailan was motionless.
"Miss Thay? The map is in your hand, if you ......"
"Did you do something?"
After Xiahou Jiaoyan heard this, although Xiahou Tailan turned his back to him at the moment, his expression did not change at all.
"I don't understand what you're talking about, Miss Tyran."
"You should know what the consequences would be without a map."
The implication is that he is already clearly threatening him.
"Miss Tyran, I still don't understand what you're talking about."
"Xiahou Xuanyin. Are you using her for something? ”
"There has never been anything like this."
However, for Xiahou Tailan, this perfunctory answer was impossible for her to accept.
"You knew from the beginning who the body was in that coffin, didn't you?"
Xiahou Jiaoyan was silent this time.
She slowly turned her head and looked at Xiahou Jiaoyan.
"Did you arrange it that way because you knew?" Xiahou Tailan said coldly: "From the beginning, you knew that Xiahou Xuanyin had fallen into a state of schizophrenia, right?" ”
"I just didn't expect it to be so strict. But isn't this qiē pre-arranged? ”
"You don't need to know that."
Xiahou Jiaoyan and Xiahou Tailan, the position at this moment, is about twenty meters. However, even in this dark courtyard, the two sides could still see each other's expressions clearly.
"So...... Let me guess, can I? ”
When Xiahou Jiaoyan said this, without waiting for Xiahou Tailan to reply, he began to talk eloquently.
"You chose this day, I can roughly guess it. Is it a prophecy that Xiahou Qinglian calculated from a long time ago? For you, even if Xiahou Qinglian is used by you until she dies, it is not too much, isn't it? ”
"So...... Xiahou Yuanshu left Minshan, didn't he escape fate? It's a pity that a qiē doesn't make sense. Eventually, when Rahu was about to devour the sun, he actually died at the hands of his own daughter. Once dead, within seven days, he must be buried in Minsan. However, the truth is that the Night King keeps an eye on them. After Xiahou Yuanshu died, he arranged for someone to bring his body back to Minshan as soon as possible. ”
"The body inside the coffin...... is Xiahou Yuanshu, Xiahou Xuanyin's biological father! Even if he is the one who separates the family, he is the bloodline of the Xiahou family after all, and more importantly, he is the biological son of Xiahou Qinglian! So, for you, he is best suited to play the role of 'bridegroom' in this marriage, isn't he? ”
Xiahou Tailan was silent.
"Looks like I'm right. The Night King has been watching Xiahou Yuanshu's father and daughter all these years, right? ”
"Did you ask her to open the coffin in the hope of confirming the last speculation in your mind? No...... If so, there's no need to make such an exaggeration. You should have something else to do. However, in the process of opening the coffin, Xiahou Xuanyin didn't open his eyes once. She didn't know that the body in the coffin was her biological father who died in her hands! ”
At this moment, Aine looked at the skeleton. The bones have not changed much.
She believed that she would see her father again.
Absolutely.
It's just that the memories are still chaotic. On that day, after she hit and killed her father, what did her father say to her, and she ...... Why did you come to Minshan?
"Xiahou Yuanshu probably never believed Xiahou Qinglian's words. That's why he's even more afraid. But at the moment he died, he finally discovered that his fate was like this after all, and the prophecy of his mother Xiahou Qinglian was completely fulfilled in him. That's why he really understood at that time that there was no point in escaping. ”
Xiahou Jiaoyan said this, and finally came to a conclusion.
"Xiahou Qinglian asked him before he died, so it's not difficult to understand what it is, right? She wants her son to bring the last map of the underworld to the Xiahou family after he dies! (To be continued......)
