My wife has a secret

Chapter 145 First acquaintance
Yang Xianning, who had a vague insight into the weirdo's weakness, swung her gun back and broke the door and windows of the house beside her. Then she lowered her body and sneaked into the house.

Kaiyang Xingjun, who was standing outside, didn't understand why Yang Xianning wanted to tie herself up in knots, so he hooked his finger and signaled the crossbow carts on the roof to continue attacking.

However, before the crossbow cart could release its arrows, Yang Xianning climbed out from the broken window, holding the spear tip in her hand and rushed towards Yang Xingjun.

Kaiyang Xingjun originally scoffed at her attack, but when he caught a glimpse of the flames on the tip of the gun from the corner of his eye, he was startled and his right leg unconsciously moved back half a step.

However, it was this small change that made Yang Xianning more confident in her previous judgment. She quickly shortened the distance between the two of them, making the crossbow on the roof unable to play a role in the fight.

Although Kaiyang Xingjun understood Yang Xianning's idea, he couldn't just turn his back and run away, leaving his back to the king of weapons, the spear.

After a brief judgment, the three-clawed weapon that Kaiyang Xingjun had used before suddenly extended from the lower end of his sleeves. Then he avoided the tip of the gun that he could not block, and used the skills he had improved during this period to move his feet and launch an attack from the side of Yang Xianning.

The pure internal force penetrated into his toes, and Kaiyang Xingjun's body suddenly burst out with unparalleled speed.

Even a top-notch master like Yang Xianning couldn't follow the figure of Kaiyang Star Lord with his eyes and could only see the afterimage in front of him.

But during their first fight, Yang Xianning had noticed Kaiyang Xingjun's habits and order of attack against the enemy, and knew that his opponent liked to launch sneak attacks from his left hand, which was not very skilled for ordinary people, and then step on his shoulders and hook his shoulder bones with his claws.

In that case, let’s take a gamble!
Kaiyang Star Lord, who had already moved to the side, saw that Yang Xianning didn't even turn around, and thought that this time he would definitely succeed.

But as the wind whistled, the spear in Yang Xianning's hand seemed to have spirituality and moved to the left, directly blocking her way forward.

"How can this be?"

Kaiyang Xingjun's nose twitched a few times, and he was slightly surprised by Yang Xianning's subconscious action.

How could she rely on her body's reaction to fight the enemy when the other party hadn't reacted yet? Unless she knew her own attack route in advance?
In a flash, a sinister look appeared on Kaiyang Star Lord's face. He then stepped on the gun barrel and flew upwards, turning over and rushing towards Yang Xianning's shoulder.

But he never expected that his most proficient martial arts would be seen through by Yang Xianning, whose martial arts level was not as good as his.

When Yang Xianning felt someone leveraging the gun barrel, she leaned over and pressed the gun under her body, forcibly controlling the tip of the gun to hit the ground.

Under the force of gravity, the stone slabs on the ground broke instantly, and cracks like tortoise shells spread out in all directions.

Then, golden light burst out from Yang Xianning's whole body, her true energy was revealed, and her long hair tied in a ponytail also floated upwards.

The gravel on the ground began to float slightly under the influence of the overflowing true qi.

Yang Xianning pulled the tip of the gun back ten feet, directly overturning the bluestone slab under her body and flying straight up into the sky.

Kaiyang Xingjun had anticipated several scenarios of fighting the enemy, but he never imagined that he would be hit by the floor and unable to fight.

After tearing open the first stone slab with her sharp claws, Yang Xianning had already picked up the second stone slab and swung it towards herself.

As a last resort, Kaiyang Star Lord had to stab the tip of his sharp claws into the second oncoming stone slab and shatter it with the sudden burst of internal force.

The collision of the two stone slabs destroyed Kaiyang Star Lord's advantage of being high above. The latter had no choice but to land on the ground and look at the other party with a meaningful look.

Because the previous battle made Kaiyang Xingjun realize that even if he had the advantage in martial arts level and crossbow, he could not do anything to the opponent.

This is enough to show that Yang Xianning's experience in fighting enemies and her psychological quality are far superior to his own.

"Can you suppress a Star Lord in his prime just by relying on experience?"

Kaiyang Star Lord sighed at Yang Xianning's skills, then slowly stood up and said with a strange smile: "But after this exchange, this Star Lord's goal has been achieved."

Although Kaiyang Xingjun was at a disadvantage in the previous battle, he did not suffer any substantial damage.

And through this round of fighting, the flames on the tip of Yang Xianning's gun have been extinguished, and her own threat has been lifted.

"Redirect the crossbow. If she tries to break into the house again, just shoot her."

The crossbow cart on the roof made a creaking sound. After the arrow was turned, Yang Xianning wanted to use the same trick again, but it became impossible to get fire from another house.

At this moment, Kaiyang Star Lord, who possessed terrifying regenerative power, was sure that he had the initiative on the field. From then on, he would just need to use a life-for-life strategy to exhaust General Yang.

Yang Xianning's beautiful eyes flickered slightly. When the crossbows were no longer pointed at her, she picked up her spear and rushed towards Kaiyang Xingjun instead.

Kaiyang Xingjun thought she was ready to fight to the death, so he stabbed Yang Xianning's abdomen with his sharp claws.

But at this moment when her mind was racing, Yang Xianning shifted the tip of the gun downward, directly against the tip of Kaiyang Star Lord's claws, and then she suddenly pulled it up, using the sparks created by the friction of the tip of the blade to create countless sparks.

With a harsh friction sound, sparks splashed onto Kaiyang Star Lord's body, burning his clothes and making holes in his skin.

Kaiyang Xingjun rolled his evil eyes, his face was filled with fear, and he wanted to retreat, but Yang Xianning's gun tip had already ignited a blazing flame again, and he simply turned the gun around and stabbed it into his body again.

This time, Kaiyang Xingjun's regenerative ability was not activated, and his body was like a flammable material, rapidly spreading the flames until his entire body was burned.

"Ah! Ah!"

In the night sky, the sound of painful wails continued.

A hint of pity flashed across Yang Xianning's eyes, but it was immediately replaced by a more resolute expression.

"What I just went into the house to get was not the lamp, but the lamp oil... As long as a sharpened weapon is wielded with great force, the lamp oil will surely be rekindled. Tell me where my sister is, and Xian Ning will give you a quick death."

Kaiyang Star Lord's entire body was lit up by the flames, and his face gradually turned into a charred black.

He looked at Yang Xianning with hatred in his eyes and never uttered a word from beginning to end until he was engulfed by the flames and turned into a charred paste.

"It is indeed a demon or an alien."

Yang Xianning glanced at the residue on the ground, then hurried towards the backyard where the loud noise had just been heard.

After seeing Kaiyang Xingjun's horrific death, the crossbow archers were filled with fear of the woman in the courtyard, and no one dared to shoot the first arrow at her.

……

As a dozen fast horses quickly passed through the temple, Xu Qing, who was standing inside the barn, sighed slightly.

He originally wanted to escape under the cover of night, but Jingdong Marquis Feng Tuo and Pavilion Chief Jiao Tingjing had given him limited time. Especially after hearing the movement of the cavalry, Xu Qing gave up his original idea and took another route back to the temple.

But the defenses in the yard were much stricter than Xu Qing had expected, so he had no choice but to return to the original barn and hide there first.

Kang Yuwen would never have thought that he would sneak back during the chaos, so this place is safe for the time being.

However, dragging it out like this was not a solution. If the imperial guards at the foot of the mountain sent people up the mountain to negotiate, Kang Yuwen would know that he had not escaped from the mountain yet, and would definitely conduct a large-scale search inside the temple.

Xu Qing found a pile of straw and sat on it to think about his next move. At the same time, there were no other children in the barn.

This was actually Xu Qing’s real purpose before.

When he first saw that the barn door was not locked tightly, he realized that this was most likely a trap set by Kang Yuwen for himself.

But as long as he attracted the attention of Kang Yuwen and his personal troops, these children would be able to escape to the foot of the mountain smoothly under the leadership of the colorful girl.

Now it seems very likely that those children survived.

"The prince has issued an order! A thief has invaded, but he has been poisoned by the special poison made by Lord Xingjun, so he can't get far... Search the temple from inside to outside!"

When Xu Qing heard this, his heart skipped a beat and he became flustered.

He returned to the barn to escape the search by his own troops, but who would have thought that there were other people invading the temple, bringing misfortune upon himself.

Suddenly, a sound of footsteps approached the barn. In desperation, Xu Qing had to rush behind the straw, stand the pile of straw upright, and hide himself inside.

"Click."

The door of the barn was slightly open. Because there was no candle lit in the room, Xu Qing could only judge from the remaining moonlight that the person who came was slender. He did not look like a royal soldier disguised as a monk in the temple, but more like... a woman?
The woman who entered the room closed the door, covered her right chest and slowly moved forward a few steps.

But in the next moment, she suddenly stopped and turned her gaze to the haystack where Xu Qing was hiding.

Before Xu Qing could react, he suddenly saw the woman's graceful figure suddenly jump up and use her right hand as a knife to chop down diagonally.

In an instant, the pile of grass in front of Xu Qing was cut off by a sharp blade and slid to the ground.

The woman wanted to strike again, but Xu Qing quickly spoke out to stop her.

"I am not the Prince of Dongwan's man."

This sentence successfully slowed down the woman's movements and she gradually stopped.

Xu Qing, who saved his life, was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat, and was also glad that he had bet correctly on the woman's identity.

Judging from the way the woman closed the door cautiously and her injured expression, the other person should be the intruder that the group of personal troops wanted to hunt down.

"who are you?"

"I was also imprisoned by them... You should be Miss Caiyun's sister, right?"

The woman paused for a moment, and then in the pitch-black darkness, only her soft breathing could be heard, which gradually became heavier.

"How did you know?"

"We are all locked up in this barn today. Caiyun kept saying that someone would come to the temple to save her, and she told the other children not to lose heart... From the wounds on your body, it seems that you were injured by the giant crossbow laid in the front yard. It is probably her sister."

The woman continued to ask in a somewhat weak tone: "Where is my sister now?"

Xu Qing hid his identity and recounted what had just happened.

After hearing that Xu Qing was willing to use himself as bait to give those children space to escape, the woman's heartstrings moved slightly, and her opinion of the man in front of her changed greatly.

Xu Qing originally wanted to ask about the woman’s injuries and see if he could do something with the help of her martial arts.

But before he could open his mouth to ask any questions, he saw the woman's arms drop down and she collapsed to the ground.

"You...what's wrong with you?"

Fortunately, there was a pile of straw on the ground acting as a cushion, like a soft mattress, catching the woman's body.

She leaned against the haystack and coughed twice, trying her best to mobilize her internal energy, but she only felt her limbs were soft and weak and she couldn't move at all.

She had no choice but to tell Xu Qing about her situation.

"I just fought with someone... and was accidentally injured by him... He smeared a deadly poison on his hook. I won't live long."

Yang Xianning was aware of the current condition of her body. In order to make his attack a fatal one, the Kaiyang Star Lord deliberately coated the sharp edge of his claws with poison.

She had previously relied on her strong martial arts skills to barely suppress the poison, but now the wound from the giant crossbow was bleeding too much, and the poison was starting to take effect, so she was in great danger.

Yang Xianning was content to hear that her younger sister was safe and sound before she died.

"You can make some noise later and use me to attract those people so that you can escape."

It must be said that the woman's proposal was very tempting, and if she was handed over, the imperial guards would certainly reduce the intensity of their search in the temple.

But Xu Qing stood there stiffly for a while before he made up his mind. He knelt in front of the woman of unknown origin and tore off the clothes covering her injured part.

Yang Xianning, lying on the ground, was powerless to resist and could only watch Xu Qing's merciless behavior.

After Xu Qing tore open the rags covering the woman's wound, he suddenly discovered that the part of the body that was poisoned was on the side of her chest.

After a brief hesitation, Xu Qing, thinking that human life was at stake, directly tore off the last piece of underwear that was covering the woman's chest.

"You... um... no, don't..."

Just when Yang Xianning thought Xu Qing was going to do something out of line, she saw him lower his head and suck hard on the poisoned and injured parts of his body.

When you feel it is almost done, spit it out again.

Yang Xianning clenched her teeth, straightened her waist and raised her head, her whole body trembling, her hands subconsciously grasping at straws, and one of her long, white, round legs could not help but bend slightly.

After a few rounds, the woman could clearly feel that the toxins in her body were disappearing at a speed visible to the naked eye, but instead, Xu Qing's lips turned purple and black, and many corners were almost cracked.

Seeing that Xu Qing was already somewhat unconscious, but still wanted to help her suck out the poison, Yang Xianning, who had just taken a breath, gathered her remaining strength and hugged Xu Qing into her arms, panting, "No, no..."

Xu Qing only felt that he was trapped in a piece of fragrant mud. The long-lost fatigue was released at this moment, but the severe pain and dryness from his mouth made it impossible for him to fall asleep.

Immediately afterwards, the parts that had just touched the venom began to feel a burning pain.

But this state of being worse than death did not last too long. After a moment, he could feel a pure force injected into his body, which suppressed the poison in his mouth.

Moreover, these true qi seemed to be intelligent, forcing out the unbearable burning pain step by step.
