[Chapter 230] If you want to cover up, you will become more powerful.

【Today's first update is delivered!】

silence.

Deadly silence.

Sawanna held her breath very sensible.

This small temple is impossible to block the invading arrows.

No one knows where the arrows will fly from and which target is the attack. With Xu Xingxia's ability, there is naturally no problem to block the incoming arrowheads. However, she was in trouble. Just now, Xu Xingxia was already quick-witted and pulled her back from the gate of hell. If there were still arrowheads shooting at her, Xu Xingxia's reaction might not be that fast. After all, archery and blocking arrows are completely different things!

This is a Mecca temple, and the furnishings and arrangements are quite simple. In order to keep the conversation confidential, she sent all the imams in the temple in advance, so the temple was empty. It is precisely because of this that she could not accurately know what the arrow structure of this temple looks like, and how many entrances are there, where to hide, and where. There was no way, she had to hide under the wall and lean against the thick stone wall. This was a stone wall made of pure granite, and no matter how powerful the arrow was, it should not be penetrated. As for her front, she could only rely on Xu Xingxia's protection.

Her only hope was to be placed in Xu Xingxia's hands. Now she can be said to have further realized Xu Xingxia's perversion. Her subordinates died in the hands of the assassin archers in a blink of an eye. And those assassin archers died in the hands of Xu Xingxia in a blink of an eye. This is the gap. She didn't even have the chance to see his archery skills. She only saw the result, and knew nothing about the process in the middle.

Those archers who came must know that Xu Xingxia was by her side. It is estimated that they would not be unaware that Xu Xingxia's archery skills are powerful. Even the arrow god Mo Rigen had to retreat. However, they still launched a brazen attack. It is conceivable that they were quite confident in their archery skills. They must feel that with the advantage of numbers, they could definitely kill Xu Xingxia. Unfortunately, they all thought wrong. The number of people was almost ineffective in the face of absolute strength. Their confidence would only make them die.

"Xu Xingxia, it's really good."

A loud voice suddenly came from outside the wall to the west.

His voice was very vague, as if he had even cut off his tongue.

Normal people will definitely not be like this when they speak. I guess no one is born with only half of their tongue. Therefore, it is certain that his voice is either pretended or half of his tongue is really cut off.

"Who are you?"

Xu Xingxia asked slowly with a gloomy face.

The black feather arrow in his hand stared at the wall to the west. As long as the other party showed a little head, he could use the black feather arrow to lift the other party's skull.

"A person whose archery is no less than you."

The other party screamed strangely.

"Yeah?"

Xu Xingxia responded calmly.

Suddenly, Xu Xingxia's eyes sank, and she suddenly turned around, facing the direction of the sound, and shot fierce black feather arrows to the east wall.

"Swoosh!"

The black feathered arrow roared away.

"ah!"

A muffled groan came.

"puff!"

The sound of heavy objects falling to the ground came from outside the fence.

A vague sound came, as if a bow or arrow fell to the ground.

"Swoosh!"

Xu Xingxia turned around again and shot arrows at the wall to the west.

"Swoosh!"

Another black feather arrow roared away.

"puff!"

A human head was just exposed above the wall.

The black feather arrow shot directly through his head.

"Bang!"

Very loud sound of heavy objects falling to the ground.

There were also chaotic sounds outside the wall, as if a bow and arrow fell to the ground.

Then, everything returned to peace. The world was silent again, with only a faint sound of wind.

Xu Xingxia breathed a sigh of relief and slowly lowered the iron-tied bow in her hand. There was no danger. He could tell from his own feelings that there was no danger around the temple. All the archers who were attacking had been shot and killed by him. For the time being, this temple should be safe.

However, Sawanna was still sitting carefully on the stone wall, not daring to move. She did not have the intuition of Xu Xingxia, and could not realize that the danger had passed. She was so nervous inside. As the queen of Khurasan, she had definitely suffered assassination. However, there was no time like today, she was shy and frightened. Now she was alone in the same room with a man! What if she was a bad person?

Thinking of the close contact between the two of them just now, she felt that her cheeks were so hot that they were roasted by fire. If she was seen by the priestess, she would definitely be sent to the stake. Even if she was not sent to the stake, she would not be able to continue to serve as the holy queen. Fortunately, no one saw everything just now, only heaven knows the earth knows, I knows him... Will he keep it secret?

Xu Xingxia casually said, "Give me the knife."

Sawanna's face was slightly pale, and her chest was swelling rapidly.

Xu Xingxia frowned and said, "I'm not going to kill you. I've killed the assassin!"

Only then did Sawanna realize that the danger had passed. She had really misunderstood just now, thinking that Xu Xingxia wanted to take the knife to her first step ahead of time. Even she herself didn't know why she was thinking so randomly and thinking about things so badly. Could it be that Xu Laomo's reputation is indeed too cruel? I heard that he was going to take the knife, and immediately thought that he was going to kill someone? She said in a daze: "What knife?"

Xu Xingxia said impatiently: "The one you gave me."

Sawanna subconsciously said: "Sumu Puri hasn't returned it to me yet..."

Xu Xingxia frowned and said casually: "Then forget it."

Sawanna was stunned again and said subconsciously: "I have one more here."

As she said that, she took out a short knife from her waist. The scabbard of this short knife was very delicate and painted with beautiful patterns. These patterns were very different from the flowers, birds, insects and fish in the Central Plains. They were only constantly "return" shapes, intersecting and overlapping each other. There was no doubt that this was another Damascus short knife. This short knife was always hidden on her body and could only be used in the most dangerous time. As for whether to kill the enemy or kill herself, it depends on how she chose.

Xu Xingxia was not polite, so she took the short knife and pulled out a small piece of the blade to take a look. This was a short knife made of high-quality Uzi steel, but it was smaller in size, more exquisite in decoration, more exquisite in creation, and sharper in the blade. When the blade was unsheathed, the chill was very obvious. At the front end of the hilt, there was also a ruby ​​the size of a small finger inlaid, which was red and very precious.

When Xu Xingxia saw this ruby, he knew that the queen of Khorasan was holding such a knife not for killing people, but for suicide. Such a piece of ruby ​​was inlaid on the hilt of the knife. When taking action, a red light must flash. This is simply reminding the other party to be careful! How can such a knife be killed? It’s almost the same to kill yourself!

Holding the exquisite short knife, Xu Xingxia looked around, walked to the east, kicked the side door of the temple with one foot, and walked out. The archer who was shot to death by him fell outside the side door. He was dressed in black and had a black hood, revealing only two small eyes. Don't think that only later generations had head hoods, which were already available in the Tang Dynasty.

There was a prime minister in the Tang Dynasty who was killed by a group of assassins wearing black hoods when they were in court. This was definitely not a legend in history, but a historical record. Well, the name of this prime minister was Wu Yuanheng, and he was the great nephew of the Empress Wu Zetian. Another prime minister at that time, Pei Du, was also besieged by assassins and almost died of misfortune. Fortunately, his strong guards were able to save his life.

Xu Xingxia picked up the archer of the black-clothed assassin archer and carefully checked it. As a result, no valuable situation was found. This was a stone bow commonly used by the Ming army, with a range of about ninety meters. In the Ming army, there were many people who could use a stone bow. According to the information of the bent bow, there would be no result. As for the geese-ling arrows used by the assassin, there was nothing special. This was the best quality geese-ling arrow.

The Yanling arrows are the most common equipment of the Ming army. Whether it is the craftsmen's workshops, military weapons bureaus, or military battle bureaus, there are a large number of productions every month. As long as people with a little status, they can collect a batch of the best quality Yanling arrows. In Ningxia Town, as long as they have thoughts, a small thousand households can collect a lot every year, and it is enough to launch an assassination. Therefore, if you investigate based on the arrows, you may not have any results.

Sa Wanna stood behind Xu Xingxia and asked curiously: "He..."

She originally wanted to ask why Xu Xingxia suddenly turned around and shot the threat from behind when talking to others. As a result, when the words came to her mouth, she understood. Xu Xingxia must have felt the threat from behind, so she decisively shot him. Perhaps, this person was the leader of the assassin.

Sure enough, Xu Xingxia said with a gloomy face: "He is the leader. He originally wanted his subordinates to speak to drive away my attention, and he attacked me from behind, and he was fatal. Unfortunately, his subordinates pretended not to be like him and were seen through me."

Sawanna said curiously: "Why doesn't it look like it? I didn't even hear it."

Xu Xingxia said coldly: "His subordinates talk too much. A skilled archer will never speak in battle. Hiding is the key to the archer's life saving. Exposing his position is equivalent to verdicting his own death. As the leader of the assassin, how could he be so mentally retarded? Therefore, the person who speaks must have been ordered by others to speak on purpose! It's a pity that he has become more obvious and has backfired!"
