Deputy head

Chapter 54 I Was Besieged in the Inn

[-]

Seeing the only window being sealed, Liu Sisi thought of the poisonous gas incident that Wei Hanju just mentioned, and immediately felt that something was wrong, and subconsciously wanted to break in, but the inn was sealed, and the surroundings were all obeying the order of the celestial master People, there are very few things she can do alone.

The matter has come to this point, continuing to delay will only increase the danger of the people in the house, Liu Sisi's eyes wandered back and forth among the surrounding crowd, trying to find a solution.

Her eyes fell on Liu Sizhang who was also eager.

Liu Sizhang also saw her early on, so he deliberately got closer, fearing that those brainwashed by the celestial master would attack her.Unexpectedly, these people made a move on Wang Xi and Wang Yi first—there were four people ambushing on the roof, and before Liu Sizhang left, these people quickly sealed the window, Liu Sizhang flew over the eaves, trying to remove the iron plate But I don't know what method they used, the iron plate was very strong, and he was outnumbered, so he was driven back to the street by the people under the Heavenly Master.

Liu Sisi naturally saw this scene too, she didn't know where this stern knight was sitting in the Bronze Sect, and she didn't want to guess, so she just called her by name: "Liu... Liu Sizhang! How many people did you and Wang Xi bring here? ?”

She pinned her hopes on those Bronze Sect disciples who hadn't arrived yet, but at the same time she also had a vague premonition that the situation might not be any worse.

Liu Sizhang understood what the former princess meant, and he was also worried about the situation in the inn, but there was not enough manpower, so he could only shake his head at this moment: "Only me and Wangxi."

"Where is the nearest Bronze Sect branch?"

"...It will take at least half a day's journey." Liu Sizhang looked solemn, "The Wulin League branch is not far from here, but..."

"What?" Liu Sisi was so anxious that she was about to jump up, she didn't understand why Liu Sizhang was so calm.

In fact, Liu Sizhang is not calm at all, and he looks calm just because of his appearance.Just now he was debating whether to fight immediately, to fight him to death, but Liu Sisi suddenly made a sound, which made him calm down a lot.

He clenched the iron knife in his hand, took a deep breath, and replied to Liu Sisi: "I went to the branch of the Wulin League yesterday. In order to collect information and thoroughly investigate the case, all their people have been dispersed. Right now... I can't find it." to people."

Hearing this sentence, Liu Sisi gasped.

"You protect yourself first, I'll go in." After saying that, Liu Sizhang tightened his body, ready to rush up again.

Liu Sisi held him back.

She didn't want to stop Liu Sizhang from saving people, but no matter how excellent this chivalrous man was, he couldn't deal with so many people alone, not to mention the iron plate that sealed the inn, and it would take time and effort to unseal the inn. It's not something that one person can do.Now time is life, and the difference between life and death can be the difference between life and death. Even if Liu Sizhang can defeat this group of people, it will not be possible in a short while, the people inside can't wait anymore.

Instead of wasting the only manpower we have now, it is better to think carefully about what other ways to solve the problem thoroughly.

Liu Sisi, who was deeply anxious, tried her best to maintain calm, and quickly thought about the countermeasures.

Wang Xi felt my hand shaking, so he shook my hand.

"Don't be afraid, it'll be fine."

I understand that he is worried about me, yes, my performance is too obvious, my hands and feet are cold, and I can't stop shaking. The panic is harmful and useless, and it will only have a worse influence on Wangxi, so I tried to withdraw my hand and pretend to be calm, but Wangxi held it tightly and refused to let go.

He suddenly smiled at me: "Sorry, I was wrong, it's okay to be afraid, I'll be with you."

I could only stare blankly at his smile, and before I knew it, my hands stopped shaking.

The celestial master is still paralyzed on the ground, laughing to himself, although I broke his hamstrings, his hands and internal strength are still there, even if I kill him now, the poison on his body may continue to spread, There is still the danger of accelerated poisoning if you stay by his side, so it is not advisable to stay in the guest room for a long time.

I walked over, held my breath and searched Tianshi's body, except for the small compass, there was nothing.

Wang Xi pulled me out of the guest room, and said, "Before I entered the inn, I looked around the inn, and all the exits were sealed. Do you have any clues, Ah Yi?"

"The backyard..." I tried my best to organize my words, "Have you seen the backyard?"

Wang Xi nodded: "The door there is indeed more difficult to seal, but it is piled up with debris, and there is nothing we can do if we only rely on the two of us."

That is to say, all the ordinary exits are sealed, and Wang Xi and I cannot go out through the doors and windows, so is there any other way... I began to think back and forth about what the Heavenly Master had just said.

If I really jumped out of the window just now, what would the teacher do next?He must not appear at the window, but pretends not to be there, but he can't stay in the poisonous gas in the inn for a long time, so... either there is an exit that I haven't discovered, or he has temporarily avoided the poisonous gas way.

This is just an ordinary inn, and I have been a sophomore here for a long time, so I know the structure inside and out of the inn.Qingzhu Town has a lot of water, so it is difficult to build cellars or tunnels, but I am very familiar with the above-ground parts. There is no extra space between walls and floors, and there will be no exits that I don’t know. There will be no hidden rooms...that is, the latter.

The Celestial Master has a way to temporarily avoid the poisonous gas.

While thinking about this, I began to feel something abnormal in my body. The extremities of my limbs began to go numb, and my breathing became difficult. It seemed that the poison in my body had begun to attack.I immediately turned my head to observe the situation of Wang Xi, he was checking the windows of other guest rooms, his expression was still relaxed, and his breathing rhythm was no problem.

Will this poisonous gas cause death in a short while, Wang Xi and I still have a while, if calculated according to the time difference, we...Wang Xi still have at least two quarters of time.

Two moments... two moments...

It doesn't matter, there is still a period of time, I will now slow down my breathing, prolong the time of staying awake as much as possible, and then find the way to avoid the poisonous gas.

But can I really find it?The purpose of the Heavenly Master is to kill me. Even if he dies, he will kill me. Even if he tortures me now to extract a confession, the Heavenly Master will definitely not reveal a word.

But... In fact, it doesn't matter if you can't find this method.Liu Sizhang and Wang Xi acted together. Just now, there was a very clear sound of fighting outside the window seal. He knew that Wang Xi was here, and two quarters was enough time. Si Zhang would call for reinforcements. .

Thinking about it this way, there is nothing to be afraid of.

[-]

In order to reduce the inhalation of poisonous gas as much as possible, I stopped Wang Xi who was constantly looking for suspicious places, and sat down with him.

Before I even opened my mouth to explain, he already understood: "This sealing plate is not sealed properly, I can feel the wind outside, so it's safer here."

"Yeah," I looked at his face and smiled unconsciously, "I'm sorry."

"It's been a long time since I heard you apologize, it feels very fresh," Wang Xi's voice sounded from one side, and this feeling has not been seen for a long time, "But there is nothing I can do, that Taoist priest wanted to plot against me from the beginning, I It’s just a trick.”

Warmth slowly spread from the arm he was leaning against me, which was very gentle in contrast to the cold weather.

I thought that I would never sit side by side with him in my life, just like now.The future is really unpredictable.

I slowly exhaled: "Although there is an element of apology for this incident, but it's not just this time... there are many other things."

Wang Xi did not respond, quietly waiting for me to add the following.

"I'm sorry for worrying you before." I leaned closer to Wang Xi again, and his side was really warm.

Wang Xi's voice was very brisk: "Then you really have to apologize, I was scared by you several times, and my heart almost stopped."

"And the matter of Hua Yumen, I'm sorry, I..."

Wang Xi suddenly tilted his head, leaned against my head, and murmured: "Well, I really can't believe it when I heard those words."

I felt guilty: "I thought you would never want to see me again."

"Is that why you've been wearing a mask?"

I nodded lightly, through a mask, some things can be temporarily avoided.

"You actually asked me to be a bodyguard, but how did you recognize me?" About this matter, I have always wondered, "And the few times before, I thought I had already done the cross-dressing."

There was some smile in Wang Xi's voice: "I don't know, but as long as I see you, I will definitely recognize you."

"The words I said at Huayumen before... are too arrogant." I held the compass in my hand and flicked the pointer on the compass back and forth, "I often think of what I said at that time, and once I think of it, I feel It's so embarrassing, a complete villain statement."

"Only this matter, it doesn't matter."

I looked at him suspiciously.

"I was really angry at first, and I couldn't accept such a shocking fact," Wang Xi sighed, "But there are some things that can't be helped."

"I know, whether it is for you or for me, what happened eight years ago is a hurdle."

He finally mentioned it, and I just felt my heart be pulled.In fact, up to now, my ability to accept has also greatly increased. Although I still fear the resentment from Wangxi, after getting along with Wangxi these days, the fear has gradually weakened.

I am an extremely selfish and selfish person, and I have always thought that I didn't want to see the expression on Wu Xi's face when he hated me, or to speak out because of hating me.Actually not, really not, those are nothing to be afraid of, the reason why I am afraid is actually quite simple - I am afraid that because of his resentment, he will wipe out all the affections of the past ten years.

To put it bluntly, what I'm afraid of is not that he hates me, but that he doesn't like me anymore.

That's why I was like a loach, after confessing everything, I quickly slipped away, without giving Wang Xi a chance to speak up, and without facing his face.

But in fact, it shouldn't be like this. There is no reason for me to do this.

"My father and my mother must have wanted to protect you back then. They liked you very much, sometimes even more than me. I was a little jealous at that time."

"Jealous of me?"

"Yes, jealousy," Wang Xi looked into my eyes, "I know they like me very much, but the attitude towards me is different from the attitude towards you, because you are obedient and sensible, and you always care for me. Think about it, so they are always at ease with you, I was so naughty at the time, in their eyes, I was probably a monkey jumping up and down, so they would be a little jealous of you."

Listening to him say these words, my eyes began to sore.

"I'm three years older than you. When I crowned you, you were still a child, but you were a bit older, but it's actually quite normal to accept the protection of the elders." He stretched out his hand and wrapped my shoulders, "Bronze It is true that the misfortune that happened to you was caused by you."

"But no one can be alone, whether it is the clothes they wear, the food they eat, the books in their hands, or the subordinates who run the sect, no one can cut off the relationship with others. My father and mother are like this, and I am also It is, of course, and so are you."

"Do you know why my father and mother took you in back then?"

I covered my mouth and shook my head. I only knew that the previous dynasty had kindness to the old head and mistress, but I didn't know what kind of kindness it was.

"Because the old emperor once saved my father and mother," Wang Xi said in a deep and soft voice, "my father and mother resembled me when they were young, so they made enemies with some bandits and were almost killed by them. At that time your father was still a prince, leading soldiers Saved my parents, if not for this, even I would not have a chance to be born."

"If you received this kind of life-saving grace, would you turn a blind eye to the benefactor's child?"

As he said that, Wang Xi suddenly smiled, as if he had accepted all the past, and hugged my shoulders tightly: "You can't, not only can't you, but you have rebuilt the collapsed Bronze School. If it weren't for you as the deputy head, I might have given up a long time ago, or I was killed by Hua Qizheng, or I committed suicide in despair, in short, I would not live today."

"So, Ah Yi, it's not your fault, it's not that someone else is protecting you from the disaster, but we bear it together."

Hearing what he said, my nose was sore, tears fell down, and even my voice was intermittent.

"Yes... I'm sorry, I'm still... I... If the old master and the mistress are still here... I also wondered if they... know that I like you, will they be so angry that they want to interrupt me?" Legs, however, they must be just angry and won’t really do it, but, but... I would rather they scold me angrily..."

"They know," Wang Xi stretched out his hand, hugged me, and patted my back lightly, "They actually left a letter, explaining everything that happened back then."

My tears are like the water in the river in summer, flooding and even blocking the passage of words, making me speechless for a long time.

"They said that they want me to treat you well in the future. They also said that if they want to raise a child, they should adopt a cute girl. They have always wanted a daughter. Although there is no way, a granddaughter is not bad."

Wang Xi smiled next to my ear: "I'm really worried."
