The Little Husband Who Became the Ghost-Faced King

Xiji looked back at the prosperous city, which was completely different from the outside world. Suddenly, he thought of a question. He looked up at the Night King and asked in confusion: My lord, why did they let us go so easily?

No matter how he thought about it, he felt that they were suspicious. After all, they had only been here for a day, and those refugees rushed into the city and robbed food. If he were an official here, he would also be suspicious of their purpose.

When the Night King heard his words, he didn't look at him and said coldly: Do you think there is no one guarding the place where we live?

Hearing him say this, Xiji was startled and immediately understood that they had been under surveillance since they entered the city and lived in that courtyard. In this case, those people must know that they had no contact with those refugees, so naturally there was no act of detaining them.

Just when Xiji thought he had figured out the key point, he heard the Night King snort coldly and said disdainfully: Or, do you think they have the courage to stop us at this time?

Hearing the Night King's confident words, Xiji looked up at him, and seeing his smooth chin, he seemed to understand something. Because they didn't dare to offend him, those people didn't dare to act on their own even if they had some doubts.

Xiji bit his lip and suddenly realized that no matter where they were, there were always some people who bullied the weak and feared the strong, such as the Night King, who was a hard nut to crack.

They rushed out of the city and headed in the designated direction in a mighty manner.

Just when Xiji thought they would keep running like this until the lunch break, the horse he and the Night King were riding on suddenly stopped. Seeing the leader stop, the people behind also stopped.

Xiji looked at the surrounding woods, but didn't notice anything unusual. He didn't understand why he suddenly stopped, and was a little puzzled. Then he heard the Night King look at the dense woods on the left, raised his hand with a deep look, and then pointed there.

Xiji sat in front of him, watching his series of actions in confusion. Just when he was about to ask, he saw the man in white shirt, who had dismounted his horse at some point, walk up to them, holding his sword in his hand, and followed by several nimble guards, walking into the woods step by step.

Seeing this scene, Xiji seemed to understand that there must be something in there, but he didn't know what it was. Thinking of the desperate bandits he saw when he first went out, Xiji subconsciously held his breath, looking at that place, staring, wanting to see if a few desperate bandits would appear there in a while.

All he heard was the sound of weapons clashing and people screaming. Xiji was stunned. After waiting for a while, he heard three whistles.

When the Night King heard the secret signal coming from inside, he quickly dismounted from his horse and strode inside.

Looking at the Night King's back, Xiji became anxious. He also wanted to go and take a look, but now the Night King actually left by himself without taking him.

After a few days of traveling, Xiji was too embarrassed to let the Night King hold him every time he got off the horse, so he learned some skills of getting on and off the horse. Although his movements were a little vulgar and not as elegant as the Night King and his friends, they were enough.

At this time, seeing that the Night King didn't want to take him with him, Xiji couldn't suppress his curiosity. He got off the horse using his hands and feet, and then carefully chased towards the place where the Night King had gone.
