Ying: It’s strange, why I suddenly feel so cold behind my back.
He didn't stay too long. Firstly, he came because Brother Wang had told him before he went out that it would be easy to get gossiped if he got too close to the ministers of the Jiang Kingdom. He himself had nothing to do, but it would be bad if Juan Juan's family was affected. .
Secondly, he always felt a little chilly in the room, with a feeling like rays on his back. This feeling was most obvious every time he touched Juan Juan.
I wonder if it's his imagination, but the source of this coldness seems to be Juan Juan's father?
But Ying soon rejected his idea, because this seemingly calm uncle would not target him inexplicably.
Ying, who was sitting in the carriage, held her chin and thought.
The noise in his ears became louder and louder. He opened a section of the carriage curtain with his fingers and looked out. He saw excited people rushing in one direction like water following the direction of a stream, while his carriage Like a motionless boulder in the river.
"Come and see, Your Majesty, King Yi, is going to ransack the house!"
"I know it was the corrupt official who released the prisoner. I was outside the Criminal Department that day and heard what he said with my own ears!"
"You deserve it. It's really an advantage for him to be exiled just because he threatened the minister with our people's lives to allocate funds!"
"The last corrupt official dared to commit a crime just a short time after he was killed. He was really audacious."
The angry comments of the people reached Ying's ears, and he closed the window.
How could a low-level official find the ability to ask the Minister of Household Affairs to allocate funds? If it weren't for someone behind the scenes, he wouldn't even be able to see Yu Xiheng.
Thinking about it this way, Juan Juan and the others' situation in the capital was not as smooth as he imagined.
He had heard a lot after just staying here for a few days. The emperor seemed to be taking drastic measures to renovate the court, but the fall of a wealthy family would inevitably cause riots. No wonder Brother Wang wanted him to go back early.
Perhaps in response to his mood, it happened to rain on the way back. The drizzle at first became heavier and heavier, and when he arrived at the door of the inn, it was no exaggeration to describe it as a pouring rain.
The coachman who drove the carriage was assigned by the Ministry of Etiquette. I didn't know his situation, so his voice came in mixed with the sound of rain, "The station has arrived, Your Highness."
Looking at the wet ground everywhere and the continuous heavy rain outside, the little mermaid counted how many layers of fabric there were on her legs, and then hesitated to go down.
Until his brother Wang's misty voice came from outside.
"Ah Ying, come down."
Outside, the white-haired young man was waiting for him holding a big umbrella. It seemed that he had been waiting for a long time.
Ying slowly and cautiously got off the carriage, taking every step carefully. Although Huo had already tilted the umbrella towards him, his feet were still slightly unsteady.
Compared to him, the hem of his brother's clothes was completely wet, but his legs were extremely stable, showing no signs of turning into a mermaid.
Even after swallowing his father's shark bead, he was still half-assed. Even if Brother Wang didn't eat anything, he was completely defeated in every aspect.
The inn is very big, and you still have to walk for a long time after entering the gate. Fortunately, it is full of people from Nanluo Kingdom. If you can't hold on, you can just transform into a mermaid.
Ying lowered her head and looked at her useless legs. At this moment, the umbrella that was originally used to protect the rain suddenly tilted. The bamboo ribs collided with the weapon of unknown material, making a harsh sound, and then burst into pieces. The oil paper The umbrella canopy was blown far away by the wind.
Heavy rain fell on him, and before Ying could see what was happening, Brother Wang wrapped his whole body tightly in his robe and hugged him.
With only one head exposed, he looked at the arrows piercing behind Brother Wang, glowing with a faint purple luster.
There is an assassin!
Even if he is carrying one person, he is still able to handle it with ease.
However, when he ran to the door of the wing where they lived with Ying wrapped like a silkworm chrysalis, he discovered that there were two winding traces of blood flowing out of the house, diluted by the rain into a light pink.
Candles were lit inside the house, and several figures were reflected on the door.
Huo took a step back, and at the moment when he was stunned, an arrow shot through the wooden door.
Just as it was about to pass through his heart, it was blocked by a white light.
Immediately afterwards, the door of the wing opened from the inside, revealing five people dressed in black.
The leader was none other than Tuoba Di, the eldest prince of Mobei.
The pursuers also arrived behind him, with wolves in front and tigers in the back surrounding Huo.
Tuoba Di was ruthless in his work, without any nonsense, he waved his hand directly, and then the Mobei elites he brought swarmed up like mad dogs.
Because she was holding a little mermaid in her arms who couldn't touch the water, Huo's fighting power was greatly weakened, and she had been avoiding him from the beginning to the end.
Ying huddled motionless in his arms. He only had some fighting power when he was in human form, but under such heavy rain, he couldn't even maintain his human form.
Fortunately, Huo's body was strong and he didn't feel any discomfort for such a long time, but Tuoba Di was a little impatient.
He observed that the white-haired man seemed to be worried about the person in his arms while hiding, so he took a bow and arrow.
When the white-haired young man arrived at the next location, he tightened the bowstring and shot out the arrow directly.
His target was the white-haired young man's right hand.
"Brother Wang!"
The moment he suddenly landed on the ground, Ying smelled the unique blood smell of the mermaid tribe. His pupils contracted as he looked at the two drops of crimson blood, which seemed to emit fluorescence in the rainy night, but were diluted by the heavy rain the next second.
Ying had somewhat forgotten that what he should be worried about now was himself more than his brother Wang.
The moment his outer robe came apart, dense heavy rain fell on his body, making his already damp clothes completely soaked.
Then, in front of everyone's nervous or shocked gazes, his legs covered by clothes turned into a shining fish tail.
It was such a stunning sight, like a creation made by heaven, making this already extraordinary rainy night even more special.
It's so beautiful in such dim surroundings that one can't even imagine what it looks like in the sunlight.
Tuoba Di was stunned for five seconds. After five seconds, his head seemed to start working again.
It's a mermaid. It turns out that Nanluo Kingdom is really connected with the legendary mermaid!
No wonder they were able to bring treasures from the depths of the sea back to light!
In just a moment, Tuoba Di's eyes became as passionate as fire.
He turned to look at another young man with white hair and stunning appearance, with uncontrollable ambition in his eyes.
I see! He should have discovered it long ago!
Tuoba Di licked his scarlet lips. With the light behind him, he looked even more sinister and unfathomable. His tone was filled with eager greed.
"I want these two mermaids alive."
