Chapter 401 Strange

"Didn't Ye Niang and An Xiang be the only ones there when the assassin came? The general will naturally ask to see if there are any clues. However, he is used to being in the army, and there is no other meaning in talking straight to the point. I didn't frighten Niang Ye, and I hope that my nephew and niece won't misunderstand." Saying that, it was another blessing.

Although Anyang wanted to put on a gesture, he didn't really want to offend the Xia family. Therefore, seeing Mrs. Xia showing the attitude he wanted, he accepted it as soon as he saw it, "Ma'am, you are serious. We also want to When the matter is clear, we will cooperate when we should cooperate, it is just some unnecessary things, let's put it down for now, otherwise, it will delay the arrest of the assassin, what do you think, General Xia?"

Xia Changhe naturally recalled it, nodded his head lightly, and returned his gaze to Ye Xinyi.

Ye Xinyi remained unfazed from start to finish, not a bit different because of Xia Changhe's questioning or Anyang's protection, his expression was like water, but he was calm.

Now, seeing Xia Changhe's gaze sweeping over her, she didn't wait for him to ask, but said obediently, "I was at the assassin's right arm just now..." Ye Xinyi raised his hand and scratched somewhere on his right arm , raised a pair of eyes as clear as the morning dew to meet Xia Changhe's sharp gaze, paused for a moment, and then said slowly, "Draw a sword..."

Xia Changhe was slightly taken aback, because of the quietness of the young woman in front of him, and because of those eyes that for some reason made him feel extremely familiar in an instant.

But it was only for a moment, his thoughts of sitting on the battlefield gained the upper hand, he quickly cleared his mind, and shouted, "Xia Ting!"

The middle-aged man next to him, also in armor, cupped his fists and said, "General, please order."

"Immediately set out to investigate the whole of the mansion. If anyone is found with an injured right upper arm, he will be arrested immediately." When he said this, Xia Changhe's eyes flicked to Ye Xinyi's direction from time to time, with inquiries and doubts.

It seems that this general is also very confident in the defense of their mansion, and the first thing he thought of was the internal thieves.

But Ye Xinyi didn't seem to know it, still as calm as an ancient well without waves.

Xia Ting said "yes" and was about to take orders to leave.

"Wait." Unexpectedly, Madam Xia suddenly spoke at this time, Xia Ting stopped, and the eyes of other people in the room looked at her in puzzlement.

Mrs. Xia's expression was soft as usual, but she just raised her head and said to Xia Changhe, "General, the mansion needs to be investigated, but the mansion must not be lax. It is better to investigate together, so as not to miss it."

After hearing this, Xia Changhe nodded, and turned his head to glance at Xia Ting. The latter understood, cupped his hands, and walked away. No one stopped him this time.

After Xia Ting left, Mrs. Xia smiled softly again, and looked at the An's brothers and sisters, "Okay, now we can only wait for the news, we should be tired after tossing around in the middle of the night, we should rest earlier Let's go!" Then, he walked to An Xiang's side, took her hand, patted her hand comfortingly, looked at her distressedly and said, "Poor boy, look at this child, isn't he scared?"

An Xiang shook her head, "Thank you Madam for your concern, An Xiang is fine."

Mrs. Xia laughed, "I've had someone cook you some shock-reducing soup, drink it before going to sleep."

An Xiang nodded, and of course thanked her again.

"Thank you, don't blame us for our poor hospitality, it's good to scare you." After Madam Xia said, she let go of An Xiang's hand, walked to Xia Changhe's side, and put her hand on his arm , raised his head slightly and said, "General, it's late at night, let's stop sticking here and let the children rest at ease!"

Xia Changhe nodded with a stern face, but his gaze swept over Ye Xinyi's body, then turned his head and walked out with Mrs. Xia. When he went out, he was not as full of evil spirits as when he came, and looked like a dragon walking like a tiger.

The steps are not big, but also light, I don't know if it's because he has calmed down a little at this moment, or because he is thinking about Mrs. Xia who is holding his arm and walking beside him.

Ye Xinyi lowered her eyes, turned her head and saw An Xiang with her head half down, her face half hidden in the shadows, but An Yang's face was filled with anxiety that couldn't be concealed, and his eyes were fixed on her.

And Shen Yue... naturally looked at her, peacefully, but also focused.

Ye Xinyi raised his hand and hooked Shen Yue's arm, winked at him, and dragged him out. When he closed the door with his backhand, Anyang walked towards Anxiang hesitantly, and asked carefully. He said, "Are you... okay?"

"What did you find on the assassin?" Shen Yue let her pull him all the time, and when he went outside, the moon was bright and the stars were shining, the night was quiet, and the hustle and bustle just now ended quietly.

Ye Xinyi turned his head to look at him, and couldn't help but smile slightly, "How do you know?"

Shen Yue squinted at her with lowered eyes, "Is there anything I don't know about your business?" After finishing speaking, he stretched out his hand, involuntarily hooked her into his arms, and hugged her tightly, with some tightness.

Ye Xinyi lay on his chest for a while, but she understood something in a daze. She didn't move, but was obediently held by him, even though her breathing was slightly difficult.

Fortunately, Shen Yue was also irrational, and after a while, he finally relaxed a little, resting his chin on the top of her head, rubbing it lightly, and a low and hoarse voice slowly came from the top of her head, "How about tonight?" Scared me. Really all right?"

Ye Xinyi laughed and patted his tense arm lightly, "It's okay, you forgot, with my skills, there are not many people who can easily hurt me. But... that assassin is a little strange."

She changed the subject and started talking about business.

Shen Yue really turned his expression back, and also regained his usual composure, pushed her away a little, and looked at her silently.

"I just saved my strength. I guess it should be about [-] to [-] percent, but that person... also saved his strength."

Although Ye Xinyi had no choice but to take action in order to protect Anxiang, but he didn't want to expose too much, so he kept his hand on the premise that he could protect Anxiang. This was expected by Shen Yue, so at first, he just listened calmly , and does nothing.

But when he heard the last sentence, he raised his eyes in surprise, and a strange light flashed across his eyes.

"Are you sure?" Shen Yue asked in a low voice after a while.

Ye Xinyi nodded. After practicing martial arts for so many years, if he can't even distinguish this, isn't it a waste of practice?What's more, she is still a very talented type among martial arts practitioners.

Shen Yue frowned, and his expression was solemn, "Did you stay strong when you hurt him?"

"At most [-]%!" Ye Xinyi said, "However, if I hadn't taken it by surprise, I might not have been able to hurt him." Although the idea of ​​letting that man go was a flash in the ass, that sword was the last move she could think of at the time.

The corners of Shen Yue's lips were pursed into a straight line, his face sank like water.Since Ye Xinyi wasn't even sure that he would be able to injure him, it meant that the assassin's skills were not weak, and if such a person wanted to kill An Xiang, how could he give her a chance to fight back?No wonder Ye Xinyi wanted to say that something was wrong.
