My wife has a secret

Chapter 143 The Legendary Magic
This round of volleys was the result of seven or eight crossbow carts aiming for a long time and working together.

As the crossbow arrow shot away with whistling sounds, Kaiyang Xingjun also felt that this famous female general must be in danger. However, what was unexpected to everyone present was that Yang Xianning shook the tip of the spear, causing the red tassel tied to the spear head to swing upwards.

Then she took half a step forward, stood firmly on her horse stance, and used the tip of her spear to block the first oncoming crossbow arrow.

Then she turned the gun around and used the butt of the gun to deflect another crossbow arrow.

This spear was made of an unknown black iron from outer space, and could be considered a divine weapon. With Yang Xian's powerful internal energy and the power of the divine weapon, several arrows that flew in succession were swept to the ground by it.

"Oh?"

Kaiyang Star Lord widened his eyes in surprise and daze for a moment, and Yang Xianning had already turned the spear and waved it back and forth in the air.

No matter how powerful the seven arrows were, they were skillfully deflected by using the tip and butt of the spear to absorb the force.

“Exquisite.”

Kaiyang Star Lord looked at the arrows that were slanted into Yang Xianning's body and couldn't help but praise her. He reached out from his black robe and gave her a thumbs up.

Although Yang Xianning's spear skills and agility were impeccable, this head-on confrontation still consumed a lot of her energy. She was panting and looked around the temple's terrain and Kaiyang Xingjun's position with her beautiful eyes, looking for a site that was beneficial to her.

Although the power of the crossbow cart is strong, this huge siege machine still has its own drawbacks, that is, the production of the giant crossbow arrows it is equipped with is scarce, with the entire Da Qi producing no more than 300 arrows per year.

Yang Xianning, who had led troops at the border for many years, knew that the samples of these crossbow carts were all military equipment. Although their power could not be compared with the crossbows on the border walls, the crossbows they were equipped with were exactly the same.

With most of the crossbow arrows being transported to the border and the imperial treasury in the capital, there were not many arrows left in the military camps outside. Even in an important town in the south of the Yangtze River like Suzhou, there were probably only twenty or thirty arrows in stock.

So after entering the temple, Yang Xianning waited for the crossbow carts to run out of arrows and did not engage in a head-on fight with them.

However, with the addition of this masked man, his situation became different from before.

There were no houses left outside the temple for her to hide in, and when the houses were broken down and the beams and pillars collapsed, too much noise would be generated. She could not judge whether this strange man would take advantage of the chaos to attack her.

Now we can only take advantage of the time when these crossbow carts are loading arrows and strike first!
Yang Xianning had made up her mind, and after blocking this volley of attacks, she used her lotus feet to gain momentum on the ground and rushed towards Kaiyang Xingjun like a black shadow.

When Kaiyang Xingjun saw Yang Xianning approaching him rapidly, his face beneath the mask was almost distorted by a smile.

"Pfft."

With a crisp sound, the tip of Yang Xianning's gun pierced directly into Kaiyang Xingjun's chest. Her pretty face froze slightly, and she was a little surprised why this masked monster who seemed to have great skills did not put up any resistance.

Although she was confident in her own skills and spearmanship, based on how they had last met, this man shouldn't just sit there and wait for death.

Suddenly, a strange chill passed through my heart.

Kaiyang Star Lord, who should have been killed by the spear, stretched out his hands tremblingly, then suddenly grasped the spear handle with force and held the spear tightly.

Yang Xianning raised her head slightly, and suddenly realized that the young man in front of her didn't look like he was about to die. Instead, he burst out with unparalleled strength, making it impossible for her to pull back the gun.

"Zizi..."

The strange sound coming from the darkness made people feel their scalp tingling and a little uncomfortable. Yang Xianning subconsciously glanced at the direction where the sound came from and found that the wound of the masked monster had begun to grow some visible granulations and began to heal.

"You are a monster..."

Even Yang Xianning, who was well-informed and had fought countless enemies on the battlefield, had never seen such a strange scene.

After she finished speaking in a deep voice, she saw the spreading flesh buds begin to wrap around the gun handle in a regular pattern and slowly crawl towards her, and she immediately realized something.

Can't be approached by this thing!

Golden light emanated from Yang Xianning's legs and feet, and her inner energy surrounded her. She then stood up and kicked Kaiyang Xingjun back several feet, using the recoil force of the two to increase the distance between them again.

At the same time, the crossbow cart on the roof was reloaded with arrows and continued a new round of volleys.

Yang Xianning turned the spear with her backhand, swung the spear in a circle in the air, and swept the incoming arrows to the ground.

She also took advantage of the huge force of the arrows to shake off the uncomfortable, slowly wriggling flesh buds on the tip of the spear.

What’s strange is that after these granulations touched the ground, they suddenly began to shrink and dim, quickly losing their vitality.

When he looked at the opposite side again, Kaiyang Xingjun had straightened his back. The wound that was originally festering from the gun tip healed in such a short time and returned to its original state. His skin was as delicate as that of a newborn baby.

"Hey hey hey..."

Kaiyang Xingjun laughed strangely, and his pupils under the mask emitted a terrifying green light. He continued in a strange voice: "Monster? Is this the first time General Yang has seen the power of the Saint Church's immortals?"

He walked slowly towards Yang Xianning and said, "These powers are gifts from the immortals. They are powers that only the immortals in heaven can possess. Only the Star Lords who have been carefully selected by the Holy Church are qualified to control this extraordinary power."

……

Suddenly, there were bursts of strange noises outside the temple. Even though Xu Qing was in the barn in the backyard, he could hear the loud noises that seemed to be caused by the collapse of a house.

After hearing these noises, the many children who were already frightened became so frightened that they lost their minds, turned pale and were terrified.

The little girl named Caiyun took the initiative to assume the responsibility of the big sister, and went around the barn to comfort the children not to panic and to cheer them up.

Xu Qingchao, who was sitting in the corner, looked in the direction of Caiyun and the children for several times, then finally sighed and stood up.

"Come, look at me."

Xu Qing's voice and figure immediately attracted the attention of all the children in the barn. After getting most of the attention, he took out a copper coin from his lapel and played with it for a while.

The children looked at his hands flying and the coin seemed to be dancing in the air. They were immediately attracted and no longer cared about what was happening outside.

Xu Qing then stretched out his arms, clenched his fists, and asked, "Whoever guesses which palm I put the copper coin in will give him a surprise reward."

Seeing Xu Qing's fearless look, Yang Caiyun was the first to step forward and guess, "I guess the left hand."

"Unfortunately, I guessed wrong."

Seeing that there was nothing in Xu Qing's outstretched palm, Yang Caiyun showed a look of annoyance.

However, thanks to her leading participation, the remaining children dared to get close to the previously taciturn Xu Qing and participate in his games.

After trying once, all the children in the audience failed, but their expressions were very different from before.

Even though some smart children guessed that Xu Qing used some tricks, they had never been exposed to magic tricks and still had no idea where Xu Qing hid the coins.

Seeing that the child's emotions were gradually stabilizing, Xu Qing was ready to call it a day.

"Wait! Let me try again!"

Xu Qing looked at Yang Caiyun who ran to him again. He knew that this girl had a stubborn personality and he would not be able to sleep well if he did not meet her demands, so he agreed.

After opening his palm again, Xu Qing asked calmly, "Which hand?" "I saw it correctly just now. It must be on your left hand."

"Unfortunately, I guessed wrong."

Xu Qing opened his palm and showed it to Yang Caiyun. After carefully examining it, Yang Caiyun asked in confusion, "That's strange. I remember you changed your hand at the last moment and hid the copper coin in this hand. That's right..."

"Okay, game over."

Yang Caiyun stretched out her delicate hand and grabbed the arm that Xu Qingben was about to retract.

"Wait! I get it. Open your fingers and let me see the gaps between them!"

Xu Qing raised his eyes to look at Yang Caiyun, then slowly stretched out his five fingers as she wished.

Sure enough, a copper coin slipped from between the fingers of Xu Qing's left hand and fell to the ground with a "bang bang" sound.

"Look, look! I won!"

Yang Caiyun cracked the magic trick performed by Xu Qing and jumped for joy. The children who were on good terms with her behind her also grinned and clapped to congratulate her.

Then, Yang Caiyun leaned over and asked Xu Qing, "Big brother, what is the surprise reward you just mentioned?"

"A lot of money. I'll give it to you after I escape."

Xu Qing put the coin away and answered casually.

He didn't expect that this little girl was so smart and could see through the magic tricks he learned in his previous life, so when playing this game, he didn't think about what the reward was.

However, the Xu family is wealthy and powerful, and when I get out, giving some money to people like her in the underworld should be considered a generous reward.

"do not want!"

Yang Caiyun shook her head and the braid behind her head flew up.

"I feel like you know a lot, brother. Why don't you promise Caiyun one thing?"

"You said."

"My sister was murdered by a villain a while ago and has been engaged to the most hateful person in the world. So... can you promise Caiyun that you will pursue my sister after you get out? Let her give up that bad guy and pursue her own happiness?"

"what?"

Xu Qing thought that the girl would make some requests for jewelry and clothes, but he never expected that the seemingly pretty and delicate girl in front of him would ask him to steal her sister's girl.

"Engaged? Married?"

The girl stammered and replied, "Well, we're married..."

Xu Qing looked at her unkindly, and said in a tone of teaching a younger generation, "After you marry me, I am officially married to someone else. You asked me to pursue your sister. If I have an affair with her, I will be thrown into the pig cage."

The girl counted on her fingers in grievance and whispered, "But you promised me that you can ask for anything you want."

Xu Qing took a look at the sneaky girl, then remembered the help she had given him when he moved into the barn today. He swallowed the words of refusal that were about to come out of his mouth.

After all, this girl had helped me bandage my wounds, so she was indebted to me.

Anyway, it is still unknown whether they can escape, so why not just agree to her request and wait until they get out?
If the woman really is at odds with her husband, with the power of her family, she should be able to help.

"Okay, let's talk about it after we get out."

"it is good!"

When Yang Caiyun heard Xu Qing agreed to this matter, her two big watery eyes suddenly curved into a crescent.

But at this moment, the strange noise outside broke out again. Xu Qing listened to the deafening noise and the dense footsteps running into the distance, and judged that something must have happened in the front yard of Falun Temple.

"What on earth happened to cause such a big commotion?"

Xu Qing walked to the door of the barn with doubts in mind. When he pulled the door slightly, he was surprised to find that the guards did not fasten the bolt tightly.

If you shake the door frame, the wooden bolt will slide sideways and escape.

"Is there any way to open it?"

"Um……"

Xu Qing responded to Yang Caiyun who came over and warned, "But I don't think this matter is that simple. I'm afraid it's a trap set up by the Prince of Dongwan. You stay in the room with them. If I have any news, I'll come back to pick you up."

"Since it's a trap, then don't go out. Wait for my sister to come and save us... My sister is very powerful. Maybe she was the one who caused all the noise just now."

Xu Qing shook his head and said, "Whether it is a trap or not, we can't just sit there and wait for death. Moreover, this temple is different from ordinary places. We can get nine crossbow carts just to defend the city. No matter how powerful your sister's martial arts are, it may not be enough."

When Yang Caiyun heard this, she retracted her arm and silently agreed to Xu Qing's plan.

She was born in a war-torn place like Huangling Pass, and had seen huge machines such as crossbows and slingshots with her own eyes. She knew that ordinary people could not defeat the power of such weapons.

Even though her elder sister had the reputation of being a one-person army that was invincible, she, as the younger sister, knew clearly that her elder sister was definitely not the kind of reckless person who relied on brute force to charge and fight, nor did she have the ability to be invulnerable to swords and guns, so these crossbow carts were still a great threat.

"Just wait for my news. If I don't hear from you in two hours, you can..."

Xu Qing leaned close to Yang Caiyun's ear and whispered a few words.

Yang Caiyun was slightly startled after hearing this and looked surprised.

……

When Xu Qing came out of the barn, the sound of fighting was still coming from the front yard.

Based on his memory of his earlier visit to Falun Temple, he began to return to the front yard along the same route, ready to get a clear look at the true face of the troublemaker.

"Your Highness, where are you going?"

Just after passing an intersection, Xu Qing noticed footsteps coming from all directions.

After a while, more than 20 people came out from behind the various Zen houses, rushed forward with sticks and knives, and surrounded him.

After this teasing voice was heard, the crowd made way for a long and narrow aisle, and the Prince of Dongwan walked slowly and steadily towards the center.

Xu Qing's knee was already injured. After being surrounded, he gave up the idea of ​​escaping. Instead, he raised his hands high and said as if he accepted his fate: "Prince of Dongwan, I know I was wrong! Take me back."

The Prince of Dongwan did not expect that this boy would be so scared so quickly after cautiously coming out, and he frowned.
