Chapter 112: Zhen Ran and Han Xi's Encounter

  "Fourth brother, how's it going?"

  Xu Tianqi asked Xu Yanglie, who was beside her, in a gentle tone of voice, but those beautiful phoenix eyes were filled with sharpness and coldness.

  That white brocade robe wrapped around his body made him look even more noble and intimidating, high and unattainable.

  On the other side, Xuan Yang Lie was wearing a red dress, looking elegant and refined. Upon hearing Xuan Tian Qi's words, his expression turned serious, with a stern look between his eyebrows, lacking his usual carefree demeanor.

  "Alright, everything is set. I've spread false news that the Emperor is ill and staying at the inn to recuperate. There are guards stationed all around, except for this side of the small forest, which has the least amount of security. If the people from Luo Sha Ge really want to make a move against us, they will definitely sneak in through this weakest point."

  "Well, that's good." Upon hearing Yang Lie's words, Tian Qi nodded in satisfaction.

  Don't look at his usual carefree and elegant appearance, he is actually very serious when it comes to handling important matters, not careless in the slightest.

  "Seventh brother, how's it going on your side?"

  Xuan Tianqi turned her head and looked at Xuan Xiaoran beside her, asking.

  "Big brother, I have set up a killing formation on the other side of the forest. This time, I will make sure that those people from Luo Sha Pavilion will not return!"

  After finishing speaking, a sharp gleam shot out from the corner of his eyes, and his body also exuded an unyielding strong aura that didn't belong to someone of his age.

  No one can hurt the people he cares about most!

  If anyone dares to harm him, he will make that person taste what it's like to be unable to live or die!

  Xiao Ran's maturity and sharpness don't match his age, but this sharpness is only for his enemies. For his family, he treats them with all his heart.

  Who says the imperial family is heartless? The bond between these three brothers who grew up together since childhood is unbreakable!

  On the other side, Yang Lie looked at Xiang Xiao Ran's murderous face and couldn't help but ask doubtfully.

  "Killing Array?"

  "This killing array originally required a lot of time to set up, but I wanted those people to have no way out. So, as long as someone enters this killing array, they will be pierced by countless arrows and there is no way to break the array!"

  "Great, Seventh Brother has done a great job! A thousand arrows piercing the heart! Haha, now I can avenge my one arrow!"

  Upon hearing this, a look of relief also appeared on Lie's face.

  Because he was already imagining that the person who went in to kill the formation would be pierced by countless arrows, and the more he thought about it, the more excited he became!

  But why did he feel a hint of unease deep down in his heart while feeling excited at the same time?

  ……

  Because of receiving the flying dove's message during the day, Han Xi Tong was in a state of excitement all day long.

  Relatively speaking, Xuan Mei Chen's spirit was not much better after learning that Xuan Huang was in Bai Yu Town. She was distracted all day and couldn't concentrate on her studies.

  And so, the whole day passed in a state of excitement and bewilderment for both of them...

  Night is slowly falling.

  The Lunar New Year is approaching, and every household has become busy recently.

  It's almost half a month before New Year's Day.

  Looking at the moonlight outside, it's so enchanting, the moonlight is like water, and the stars are shining brightly.

  The sun and moon shine together, complementing each other, outlining a perfect and beautiful picture.

  So beautiful it's breathtaking!

  She raised her head to gaze at the moonlight above, seeing that it was still early in the lunar cycle. Han Xi's eyes had been excited all day, but now that she was alone, her originally excited heart gradually calmed down instead.

  She came to this dynasty, from the initial strangeness to the current habit, it has been a year.

  She used to be unaccustomed to it, but now she has gradually integrated into her current life. If she were to return to modern times now, would she still be unaccustomed to it?!

  Thinking of meeting Xiang Xiao Ran soon, I wonder if he has changed now, or is he still the same as before?

  Before he knew it, time had slipped away unnoticed and midnight was approaching.

  Han Xi's eyes withdrew from her thoughts, and she lightly used her qing gong, leaping towards the forest at the foot of the mountain. In a few flashes, she disappeared into the darkness of night...

  At the same time, outside another courtyard, a tall figure was approaching at an extremely fast speed, quietly and soundlessly entering Han Xi Tong's room.

  She gently pushed open the intricately carved wooden door and glided into the room with an air of familiarity.

  That handsome face, under the moonlight, had a few more ambiguous expressions, but looked incredibly good.

  Especially the joyful smile at the corner of his mouth, shining brighter than the summer sun, shows that his master's mood is not bad.

  And his large hands with distinct joints were gently stroking the bulge in his bosom.

  Her eyes became even softer.

  Because inside it is a gift he plans to give to Han Xiang today, I wonder if she will be happy when she receives the gift he gave her?

  He didn't understand girls' thoughts and he also didn't know what kind of gift Han Xi Tong liked.

  However, what he is holding in his arms at this moment can be considered his family heirloom. // Baidu search for the latest chapter of Zhu Bajie //

  Although it was just an ordinary jade hairpin that had been passed down through his family, to him, it held extraordinary significance.

  This jade hairpin was given to him by his mother when she was still alive. At that time, he still remembered his mother smiling and gently telling him that this jade hairpin was passed down from her own mother, his grandmother, and that she loved it very much.

  However, his mother might have also known that her days were numbered, so she handed him this jade hairpin and told him to take good care of it.

  So even after his mother passed away, he went hungry for several days and nights without eating anything, starving to the point of near death, yet he still did not pawn this jade hairpin.

  Because this jade hairpin was the last keepsake his mother left him.

  Now, he is going to give this jade hairpin to Xi Tong, but he doesn't know if she will like it or accept it.

  He didn't want to mention the origin and significance of this jade hairpin, after all, he was a little afraid that when Han Xi knew the meaning of this jade hairpin to him, she wouldn't accept it.

  But he didn't care anymore, as long as she could wear it on her head and he could look at it often, he was satisfied.

  Moreover, he also believed that his mother's spirit in heaven would see the jade hairpin on Han Xi Tong's hair bun and she would be very happy too. Because Han Xi Tong was the woman he loved...

  The more he thought about it, the more delightful his ghostly mood became. However, when he arrived at the room with ease and pushed open the floor-to-ceiling curtains, he found nothing on the bed!

  Looking at the empty big bed, the handsome and charming eyebrows slightly frowned, with a puzzled look in his eyes.

  "Where did Xi Tong go? Could it be..."

  Did she go to that sickly beauty Xuan Mei Chen's place!?

  At this point, Gui Mei only felt that his entire brain was 'hitting' a loud noise, with an instant blankness. However, he soon came to himself, although his heart was furious, but still immediately calmed down, and heavily put down the curtain in his hand, jumping towards Xuan Mei Chen's room.

  The security of the imperial palace is very strict, especially after the last assassination attempt, there are obviously more guards.

  However, who is this ghostly figure? Even with thousands of troops and horses here, he doesn't even give them a glance, not putting them in his eyes!

  He soon arrived at Xuan Mei Chen's room.

  Under the cold moonlight, only Xuan Mei Chen stood alone in front of the window, gazing into the distance, no one knew what he was thinking.

  However, as for Xuan Mei Chen's thoughts, Gui Mei didn't care at all. Instead, upon seeing that Han Xi Tong wasn't here, her originally furrowed eyebrows almost scrunched up into a ball.

  What has been on his mind all along is, where is Han Xi Tong now?

  She is neither in her own room nor in Xuan Mei's room, could she have gone...

  What a wonderful scene!

  The mention of this name made Guimai's heart skip a beat!

  That's right, she must have gone somewhere!

  Did she go see Xiang Xiao Ran in haste after knowing he was in Bai Yu Town?

  Although he had known before that Han Xi Tong and Xing Xiao Ran's relationship was special, he loved her and didn't want to think about who she used to be with because thinking about those things would only make him depressed and angry at himself for not meeting Han Xi Tong earlier, allowing her past to belong to another man.

  However, things have come to this, and he can't change anything. Nevertheless, thinking of Han Hui-tae going to see other men still makes him feel indignant and resentful.

  Was everything he did just his own wishful thinking? Did she think he had no weight in her heart at all?

  Could it be that she still loves another man?

  No way, no matter what, he must get her back, he wants her in body and in heart!

  Thinking of this, the ghost immediately turned around and jumped down towards the foot of the mountain...

  However, what he didn't know was that down the mountain, someone had been waiting for him all along...

  ……

  Tonight, the moon is hidden behind thick clouds, but its gentle light still peeks through, sometimes obscured by cloud cover, and sometimes breaking through the darkness to cast a soft glow over the earth.

  Although the Spring Festival is approaching, the temperature remains cold.

  When Han Xi's eyes opened at dawn, the northwest wind howled and blew over, the wind that came face to face was like a few invisible sharp knives, cutting both cheeks painfully.

  Han Xi Tong wore a snow-white sable coat, under the moonlight, she looked like a silver snowball.

  She moved quickly and soon arrived at the foot of the mountain.

  Her footsteps slowed down slightly, she had run too fast just now, and was slightly out of breath.

  Moreover, her hair was blown away and a bit disheveled. There were no mirrors here, but Han Xi didn't want to meet Xuan Yan looking so unkempt after such a long time apart. So, she used her hands as a comb, carefully tidying up her appearance first, smoothing out her slightly disheveled long hair before taking a deep breath, adjusting her mood, and slowly stepping into the forest.

  This is not her first time in the forest. In the past, every time she went down the mountain to the market, she would take this small path through the forest, so she was very familiar with it.

  Even on a night as dark as this, the forest was pitch black, and the moonlight was blocked by the treetops. However, Han Xi's eyes could still see the scenery inside with clarity of five or six parts.

  The forest is lush with trees, and the ancient trees are too numerous to count. The branches and leaves crisscross, blocking out all the moonlight above, leaving not a single thread of night color shining down.

  For Hei Xi, the darkness was nothing out of the ordinary, but what puzzled her was that tonight's forest seemed to be shrouded in an eerie aura.

  She felt that tonight's forest was too quiet.

  Just now because she was thinking about seeing Xuan Xiao Ran, her mood was extremely excited, and she didn't notice anything unusual. However, the more she walked into the woods, the stranger she felt.

  In the past, in the forest, there were always many animals coming out to be active.

  But tonight, all the animals in this forest seem to have disappeared, as if they had gone into hibernation collectively.

  However, Han Xi Tong knew that this might not exist at all!

  With doubts in her mind, Han Xi's originally swift footsteps gradually slowed down.

  Those clear eyes gradually took on a few shades of vigilance...

  At the same time, on the other side of the forest——

  Seeing someone had already entered the forest, those like Xing Xiao Ran who were hiding in the dense underbrush of the woods also gestured with their hands for everyone to get ready.

  Although this time, the person who walked into the forest was different from what they had imagined, there was only one person. However, just because it was one, as long as it was a person from Luoshen Building, they couldn't be wrong!

  That man is doomed!

  In her mind, Xun Xiao Ran's sharp phoenix eyes quickly scanned the dozens of guards lurking around.

  All I saw were these guards, each wearing black clothes that blended into the night so seamlessly that it was hard to notice them at all!

  Ran Yan was also wearing the same black clothes.

  That mysterious blackness, worn on his body, made him look more solemn and icy.

  At eighteen years old, he had a tall and lean build. Although he wasn't as muscular as others, his proportions were perfect.

  That head of black long hair was also tied tightly with a black hair band, making him look even more capable.

  Compared to his all-black attire, it made his skin look even whiter.

  That exquisite face, beautiful and unparalleled, with skin that shines like a crescent moon's white.

  At this moment, Xing was calm and composed, with a pair of beautiful, narrow, and long Danfeng eyes that shot out a sharp and piercing gaze, like an arrow, directly at the figure who had already entered the forest.

  Today is overcast, the clouds in the sky are drifting, and the bright crescent moon occasionally appears and disappears among the clouds, as if playing hide-and-seek with people.

  The light in the woods was very dim, making it impossible for everyone to see the true face of the newcomer, only vaguely seeing that the newcomer was a woman.

  Woman?

  It turned out that the person who came was actually a woman, which made Xiang Si slightly furrow her pretty eyebrows as she guarded the front of the forest.

  Because the person who appeared here tonight was beyond his expectation.

  Originally, after they released the false information, the people of Luocha Pavilion would definitely all come out, and even if not all, it would be those top-notch masters. At that time, they could catch all the people from Luocha Pavilion at once.

  To know, he had set up a killing array in the forest. If that woman in front walked ten more steps forward, when she stepped on the trap mechanism he had set, she would be killed by his mechanism with a thousand arrows piercing her heart.

  To set up this agency cost a lot and was carefully planned by him, so when he saw that the one who came forward was just a woman, Xun Xiao Ran suddenly felt it was a waste.

  After all, she's just a woman, no matter how high her martial arts skills are, it's hard for two hands to defeat four hands. Here, there are dozens of guards, each one is top-notch, dealing with this woman is simply more than enough!

  However, thinking about these things is futile now, because this woman has already walked into the killing array he set up. If she takes just ten more steps forward, she will definitely die!

  In her mind, Xun Xiao Ran's mouth curled up into a disdainful cold smile. Those beautiful phoenix eyes also never left that woman's body, and in her heart, she silently counted...

  Ten, nine, eight, seven, six, five, four, three...

  However, just as Xiang Xiao Ran was silently counting in her heart, on the other side of the forest, on top of a hundred-year-old towering tree, a figure like a ghostly shadow had been waiting here for quite some time.

  Compared with Xiangxiang's excitement, that person's heart was no less joyful.

  A thread of cold wind blew by, blowing up the luxurious and bright purple robe of that person. Those delicate Manjusaka flowers seemed to have caught their master's joy and killing intent at this moment, and even emitted a bloody glow.

  So enchanting, so beautiful it's startling, yet it's a poison that corrodes one's bones!

  Watching Han Xi's eyes step by step about to tread on that mechanism, and then, enjoying the taste of being pierced by ten thousand arrows, You Yue's heart was delighted!

  As for Xing Xiao Ran's killing array, he had secretly hidden on the roof last night and heard everything clearly. Originally, this killing array was meant to deal with their Luo Sha Pavilion.

  They had already planned to deal with the royal family according to their previous plan. However, after Gui Mie returned last night, he cancelled all plans without any reason, and no matter how many times he asked, he couldn't get an answer from Gui Mie, leaving him puzzled.

  Because he had known Gui Mie since childhood, he also knew Gui Mie's identity and was well aware of her hatred for the imperial family.

  Because he is hated by the ghost, he also hates!

  Especially knowing the past of Gui Mie, he was originally a proud son of heaven with a noble status, but was ruthlessly abandoned by his own father, causing the prince who should have been dressed in brocade and jade to become a beggar, a hoodlum, and eventually an assassin...

  Because he knew about Gui Mie's past, so for Gui Mie, he was both loving and pitiful. For the royal family, he also hated them to the bone, even more than Gui Mie! Because he loved Gui Mie, loved him very much, loved him to the point of forgetting himself, his heart was filled with thoughts of him, his eyes saw only him, and his mind remembered only him.

  A ruthless and unfeeling specter, like a Shura from hell, inspires fear in people's hearts, yet makes him love with abandon.

  The ghostly smile is even more stunning and breathtaking, making his heart skip a beat...

  The gentle ghost, even more so, makes his heart move and ache. Because the ghost's smile, his tenderness, all burst forth for another woman, not him...

  How can he stand it!?!

  He has loved her for a lifetime, and his love for her is as deep as his bones. How can he tolerate the man he loves falling in love with another woman? This would drive him mad, and he will die!

  However, he didn't want to die and wanted to stay by Gui Mie's side, so the woman who moved Gui Mie's heart must die!

  Thinking of this, You Yue lowered her head and looked at Han Xi Tong who was walking step by step towards the mechanism, the smile on her lips becoming increasingly gloomy and sinister.

  The bright moon gradually floated out of the clouds and sprinkled on his delicate face, making him look like a terrifying ghost.

  Especially his gentle and charming eyes, as he followed Han Xi's steps closer to the mechanism, emitted a burst of crimson light that pierced through the bones, like a wet and soft poisonous snake.

  It's almost done, haha, it's almost done...

  Get rid of this woman and the ghost will be his, haha!

  Just as You Yue was excited and proud in her heart, Han Xi Tong, who had no idea what was going on, still walked forward slowly with careful steps.

  I don't know why, but even if she carefully observed her surroundings, she couldn't find any signs of anyone, and Xun Xiao Ran wasn't here either.

  Just now in the daytime, didn't Xiang Xiao Ran send a flying letter to let her come here? But where is he?

  And with her keen intuition, although there was no one in sight around her, she always felt that countless eyes were staring at her at this moment.

  This feeling is really eerie and makes me feel like I have a thorn in my back.

  Her mind was restless and uneasy, causing Han Xi Tong's originally slow footsteps to completely come to a halt.

  That pair of beautiful eyebrows gradually twisted into a knot.

  Just right, Han Xi's standing position had sparse branches and leaves above her head. When the bright moon floated out of the cloud layer, the clear and cold moonlight passed through the sparse branches and leaves, slowly shining down on her body, gently pouring onto her, and also fully exposing her beautiful face to everyone's sight!

  Looking at the breathtakingly beautiful face in front of him, Xun's entire body, which was originally filled with intense killing intent, suddenly froze like a thunderbolt on a clear day.

  Originally narrowed, full of sharp and stern phoenix eyes, even more suddenly rounded, and the eyes shot out unbelievable and shocking.

  "Ah, Ling'er?!"

  Heavens! How is it her!?

  As Xun Xiao Ran let out a low cry of surprise, although the volume was very low, in this quiet forest, it was especially clear, and immediately reached Han Xi Tong's ears.

  "Who is it?!"

  Han Xi Tong heard this and immediately let out a startled cry, her feet involuntarily taking a step forward...

  "Be careful, don't go forward!"

  Xiao Ran, who was still in shock, immediately came to his senses when he saw Han Xi Tong's footsteps approaching. He also thought of it, Han Xi Tong was standing right in the middle of his killing array, and in front of Han Xi Tong, there were mechanisms that could pierce a thousand arrows through the heart!

  At this point, Xun Xiao immediately blurted out in shock, but unfortunately, he was still one step too late.

  Because of the unclear gaze of Han Xi, he had already followed the direction of his voice and stepped forward...
