Qi Qi didn't know how he got to the compound, but he remembered that Zhao Gang's expression when he saw him was so shocked and disbelieving.

Zhao Gang looked at Qi Qi, who was soaked, with his hair scattered on his cheeks and shoulders, and his eyes empty, he couldn't believe that Qi Qi had such a gaffe, he asked, "Brother Qi Qi, you look like this, should we slow down first?"

Qi Qi didn't look at him, looked at his feet, and asked a somewhat disconnected sentence, "Can you hurry in the rain?"

Zhao Gang smiled and said, "A rough man, why not get drenched in the rain?"

"Then let's go, get on the horse," Qi Qi stepped out of the house and turned on his horse.

Zhao Gang looked at Qi Qi hesitantly a few times, but did not move, "You look like this... Are you alright...?"

"I don't want to stay in this place anymore, don't let me say a second sentence, let's go," Qi Qi said a little tiredly, obviously he had just gotten up, but he seemed to have not slept for a day and a night, revealing an obvious frustration.

Zhao Gang looked at Qi Qi like this, although he was worried, but Qi Qi said it to this point, so he had to get on the horse, "Brother Qi Qi, if you can't bear it, you have to rest, just tell me, it's okay to delay some time on the road, we are not in a hurry to go back to Nanxun." ”

Qi Qi nodded, "Let's go." ”

The sky was covered with leaden clouds, black and oppressive, as if they were close enough to reach them. Raindrops fell on the street like ice needles, Qi Qi rode a brown horse, Zhao Gang also rode a brown horse, and led a horse in his hand, pulling the two masters of the fierce horse who was tied up by five flowers, and walked through the streets together.

Qi Qi was preoccupied, and his thoughts couldn't be sorted out, and the only thing he could be sure of was that his heart was constantly cramping.

Be all abroad.

An emerald green shadow always came to his mind, gradually overlapping with another.

He suddenly felt frightened, his heart beat wildly, and he shook his head like crazy, shaking off the strange images in his mind.

After doing all this, he was even more tired. Instead, he spurred the horses more often and harder, so that the brown horses swept like lightning and shook violently.

He wanted to get out of the city as soon as possible.

This city is like a prison...

······

Nanxun, Longteng Dart Line, West Wing.

Xuanniao has been playing chess in the room since that night, and his hands have been tied to Bai Lian, and he has never touched the qin, most of them are playing chess in the room, playing against themselves.

At the moment, she was sitting in the center of the room, with a chessboard on the table in front of her, and on it was an endgame. Black is surrounding white in a slaying move, and white is in danger.

Looking at this endgame, the corners of Xuanniao's mouth flashed with bitterness. Play against yourself, and the situation is so unequal.

It's like... Black is the epitome of her inner negativity, and white represents her state of mind, teetering under black's attack.

After thinking about it for a long time, I couldn't understand it, so I gave up, sighed, and looked out the window.

"It's... Isn't it the ninth day?

There was a melancholy in his eyes.

"Go and ask them, maybe they know," Xuanniao got up and pushed the door open and walked down the hall.

Hall.

"Big brother!" shouted a dragon brother who ran into the hall from outside the courtyard in a hurry.

Guan Yuntian, who was sitting in the main seat in the hall, straightened up slightly and asked, "Why are you in such a hurry?"

The Longteng brothers knelt down on one knee in the center of the hall, looked at Guan Yuntian, and said with their fists clenched, "The brothers were just drinking and chatting in the restaurant, and suddenly heard someone talking about something, saying that in recent days, someone has found traces of fighting in the canyon that must be passed through from Nanxun to Guancheng, and it looks very tragic, and..."

With a look of embarrassment on his face, he paused, gritted his teeth, and said, "And some traces point to the two sides of this battle being our dragon Teng and another big dart in the city." ”

"What?!" Guan Yuntian slapped the table and stood up, frowning, anger and shock in his eyes.

Brother Longteng's body shook, "Big brother, stop your anger!"

"Have you ever found traces of Zhao Gang and the goods?" asked Guan Yuntian.

Brother Longteng shook his head, "No, no. ”

Guan Yuntian's undulating chest calmed down slightly, "It's good that I didn't find out, then Zhao Gang shouldn't be dead, the goods were not lost, and Bacheng arrived in Guancheng smoothly." ”

"Also... And—" said the Dragon Brothers.

"What else?" asked Guan Yuntian.

"It is said that when the man found out, there were many bandits and fierce horses in the canyon who could not afford to be seriously injured. It's all weird..."

Guan Yuntian asked curiously, "What's strange?"

"They all had a sword wound. ”

Guan Yuntian smiled and said, "It's just a sword injury, it's not normal to fight and kill, isn't it normal to be in the middle of the sword?"

"No... Abnormal. The ordinary sword wound was flat and slender, like a willow leaf, and blood flowed out of the wound, but the sword wound... As if it were an explosion, the skin and flesh opened, and the flesh inside was delicate, and the blood was almost spurting and flowing. Some people are pale, their own blood is soaked in the surrounding land, and they are completely bloody, and some people... There was also a sword wound on the man, which was still bleeding when the man arrived. ”

"It's sword qi!" Guan Yuntian exclaimed in astonishment.

"Sword... Sword Qi?" this Dragon Teng brother also heard this word for the first time.

"Only if you are injured by sword qi, the wound will be like this. What kind of person is it, the swordsmanship is so exquisite? We don't have such a person in Longteng, is it Qi Qi who is accompanying him? Or... Who else?" Guan Yuntian's eyes narrowed slightly, and he groaned.

"By the way, have you ever found that Qi Qi's body?" Guan Yuntian remembered and asked.

Brother Longteng shook his head.

"In that case..."Guan Yuntian stroked his chin and groaned.

Brother Long Teng asked, "Big brother, do we still want to carry out the plan? It is likely that he mastered the sword qi. ”

"!" Guan Yuntian said categorically, "Why don't you do it?"

Brother Longteng looked down at the ground, the corners of his mouth twitching, "But..."

"No but!" Guan Yuntian said, "Let's not talk about whether he was injured or not after this battle, even if it was his heyday, as far as I know, using this kind of extremely lethal sword qi will generally accumulate power for a long time, and I am confident that there is a way to crack it, no matter how strong his sword qi is, he will not be able to use it!"

"Big brother is mighty!" Brother Long Teng raised his head and hugged his fists.

Touch!

At this moment, suddenly a voice sounded outside the door, Guan Yuntian was the first to realize that a big jump came outside, and it turned out to be a Xuanniao in a pink skirt.

"I..." Xuanniao was at a loss by this change, his hands clenched, looking left and right, Sakura's lips opened slightly, but he couldn't say a word.

Guan Yuntian exuded his momentum and took a step closer to Xuanniao, the mountain-like oppression for Xuanniao made her unable to stop retreating, her head lowered even lower, and her breathing became difficult.

Guan Yuntian got straight to the point, "What did you hear just now?"

Xuanniao raised his head, and looked at Guan Yuntian with a pair of clear autumn water eyes with surprise, "I haven't heard anything." ”

"Heh!" a hint of banter flashed in Guan Yuntian's eyes, "I don't talk nonsense with you, you stay in the room for me these days, and you can't step out of the door for half a step!

Xuanniao was at a loss, and nervously pinched her skirt with both hands, "Brother Yuntian, what are you doing?"

Guan Yuntian didn't pay attention to her, and the Longteng brother walked up to Xuanniao, grabbed her arm and pulled her in the direction of the West Chamber.

Xuanniao gritted his silver teeth and reached out to pluck Brother Longteng's hand, but his strength was so great that it bit to death on her arm like an iron pincer, so he had to look at Guan Yuntian and shouted, "Brother Yuntian, let it go! Is he back? How's their bodyguard?"

Xuanniao's voice became farther and farther away, more and more subtle, Guan Yuntian put his hands behind his back, squinted a pair of eyes and watched her gradually being dragged away by the Longteng brothers, when Xuanniao's figure disappeared around the corner of the corridor, a cold light flashed in his eyes...

······

Xuanniao was dragged back to the room where she and Qi Qi lived by the Longteng brothers, and she kept asking the brother, but the other party locked the door and left, ignoring it.

She felt her body drained, weak, leaning against the door, slowly sliding down, slumped on the ground, her surging autumn eyes lost their brilliance, Sakura's lips opened, and she muttered, "What the hell... What happened..."

In fact, Guan Yuntian did misunderstand her, Guan Yuntian thought that Xuan Niao was already outside the door when he was talking to the Long Teng brothers, and listened to the conversation between the two of them word for word, but when Xuan Niao made a movement outside the door, it was indeed she who had just arrived.

She also wanted to ask about Qi Qi from Guan Yuntian's mouth, she had been separated from Qi Qi for so many days, and the thoughts and worries in her heart were already as turbulent as stormy waves. But as soon as she appeared, Guan Yuntian suddenly appeared in front of her, said something she didn't understand and couldn't figure out, and then ordered someone to confine her in the room.

She didn't know anything about all this, but judging from Guan Yuntian's actions towards her at this moment, he must have other intentions for her and Qi Qi.

She was very scared, afraid that Qi Qi would be injured in the bodyguard, afraid that he would not be able to face Guan Yuntian's possible calculations against him when he came back from injury, afraid that she would be weak and powerless and unable to help him, so she could only watch everything happen.

However, the door was locked.

She can't do anything...
