At ten o'clock at noon on this day, Yuxuan hurried for several days, and finally reached the edge of the Huai River. The river is vast, the surging river is rolling through, and the sound of the waves continues to echo, which makes people feel happy.

He was looking around for a boat, and suddenly saw a flat boat on the riverside, and there was only one captain on board, and suddenly he shouted, "Do you want to cross the river?"

Yu Xuan smiled and nodded, "Yes, can you please take me across the river." When the captain answered, he was about to dock, and Yu Xuan was bold by nature, so he strode on the boat unceremoniously.

As soon as he got on the boat, he heard a female voice from the cabin: "Bring the wine to the wind, watch the waves by the railing, isn't it also happy!

When he entered the cabin, he saw a low table in the cabin, and a woman sitting behind the table, watching her with a wine glass in her hand, savoring it. This girl is fourteen or fifteen years old, with a delicate appearance, a pointed chin, white and greasy skin like porcelain, and a fiery red robe, she is hardly a person in this world.

Yu Xuan was also not polite, sat opposite the woman with a big grin, and asked with a smile: "It is an honor to be able to walk with the girl, and I haven't asked the girl's name yet?" The woman smiled faintly, and said in a manly voice: "The little woman's surname is Yao Mingxi, and it is a great honor to see the child's face today." Yu Xuan bowed and said with a smile: "It turned out to be Miss Yao, who is ...... down" Before Yu Xuan's words fell, Yao Yuxi had already interrupted: "Wang Gongzi is going to Nanjing?"

The sound of the waves outside the window was still there, but Yu Xuan's heart was terrified, and he asked, "Miss Yao knows me?" Yao Yuxi nodded and said: "Eight years ago, Wang Gongzi was in the imperial city, and the arrow determined the world, and an arrow shocked the heroes, which is famous all over the world and known to the world. It's a pity that the little girl was still young at that time, and she didn't have the opportunity to see it, which is really a big regret in her life!"

Yu Xuan heard her talk about his pride, and he was a little fluttery for a while, but after a long time of accidents, his mood immediately stabilized, his eyes gathered, and he stared: "Are you from the court?" Yao Yuxi suddenly smiled: "Wang Gongzi said that he laughed, the court has never used women, this is a well-known thing, and at my age, how can I do things for the court!"

Yu Xuan couldn't help asking: "Miss Yao made a special trip to block here, right? I don't know what you want to do?" Yao Yuxi nodded and said: "Yes! The little girl has something to ask for, and I hope that the son will agree." Yu Xuan said: "I don't know if the girl has anything to help?" Yao Yuxi smiled: "The little girl knows that the son has a jade pendant on his body, and wants to borrow this jade pendant for use, so please agree to the child." ”

When Yu Xuan saw her speak, she glanced down from the corner of her eye, and she had already noticed the jade pendant she was wearing around her waist, it seemed that she had a clear goal and came prepared. Yu Xuan smiled and said: "I'm afraid this thing can't be done, this jade pendant is a gift from the family teacher, and his old man told me to be careful about it, so I can't give it to you." Yao Yuxi was not annoyed, but nodded and said with a smile: "Come to think of it, the son is arrogant, how can he change his original intention because of a few words from the little girl!"

"In that case, isn't it superfluous for the girl to open this mouth?" Yu Xuan said coldly.

Yao Yuxi sighed and said: "The little girl is just thinking about what to do, if the son is soft-hearted for a while, wouldn't it be better if he agreed?"

Yu Xuan sneered: "It's a pity that I've always been hard-hearted, and I won't be soft-hearted!"

Yao Yuxi saw that the persuasion did not move, so he said again: "Since this is the case, the little woman is not reluctant!" She took a glass of wine and said, "Childe, please!" Yu Xuan remained motionless, just staring at her eyes. Yao Yuxi was stunned for a moment, and then smiled and said, "It turns out that the son is also afraid of poison in wine!" She didn't avoid suspicion, took a sip of the wine glass, and put it in front of Yuxuan.

Yu Xuan saw her lips clinking glasses, leaving a touch of red lip prints, although she looked immature again, but her appearance of the country and the city still made Yu Xuan's heart agitated, and he couldn't calm down for a long time. Yuxuan was also afraid that she would refute Yao Yuxi's face and might embarrass her, so she picked up her wine glass.

Suddenly, the boat was jolting, Yu Xuan couldn't help but be stunned, hurriedly gathered his mind, and asked, "What's wrong?" Before his words fell, the cold light flashed in front of him, and a shining short sword had reached his throat, Yu Xuan hurriedly poured it into his hand, and the wine glass in his right hand went up and resisted, and his left hand slapped the low table, and the person had already retreated.

But the short sword held by Yao Yuxi seemed to be a sharp weapon, and the wine glass was attached to the internal force and passed by, seeing that she did not stop, a short sword followed her like a shadow. Yu Xuan retreated to the back of the table, Yao Yuxi's sword had arrived, and when he retreated to the curtain, the short sword arrived again.

Yu Xuan saw that her moves were sharp, her swordsmanship was as fast as lightning, and she pointed at people everywhere, obviously trying to put people to death, but she had a blank expression on her face, and she already looked like a killer, and she didn't have the gentle and virtuous lady just now.

"It's really troublesome!" Yu Xuan frowned, poured his two fingers into his middle finger, and his fingers suddenly flicked twice on the spine of Yao Yuxi's sword. Yao Yuxi only felt a huge force coming from the sword, and the short sword in his hand trembled sharply, as if he couldn't hold it.

Yu Xuan suddenly heard a sound of breaking the air from his back, and then he remembered that there was another person at the bow of the boat, and he hurriedly lowered his head to dodge, and at the last moment, a bamboo pole just swept overhead, and the strong wind made his hair fly.

At this moment, there are opponents in front and back, and if you are not careful, you will be buried on the river, Yuxuan can't, so he has to use his internal force, watch him gather his hands, and attack the two of them on the left yin and right yang. When he was about to touch the two of them, he turned around and patted his feet again without stopping, and the man had already broken through the top of the boat. Yao Yuxi took the brunt of it, so he had to turn sideways to avoid it, but after a little relaxation, Yuxuan had already fled. Yao Yuxi looked at the hole in the top of the boat, lightened her body slightly, and reached the top of the boat, she looked around, only to see that Yuxuan had swept more than ten zhang in an instant, and was about to reach the shore.

Yao Yuxi couldn't help but sigh: "Hey! I thought that when he came to Jiangxin, he had no way back. I never thought that his light skills would be so powerful, and he could cross more than ten zhang without any support, which is really incredible. ”

Seeing this, the captain hurriedly asked, "Miss, are we going to catch up?" Yao Yuxi said coldly: "Of course! Otherwise, how can we get the jade pendant?" The captain said again: "But he has already gone ashore, how can he catch up?" Yao Yuxi's face was cold: "Just stay on the shore, he can't run." ”

But as soon as Yu Xuan arrived at the shore, he felt that the true qi in his body was not smooth, as if there were countless ants shuttling in his body, he couldn't help frowning, and looked down at his hand, it turned out that his index finger was bleeding, and the blood was as black as ink, and there was a fishy smell. Only then did he remember that when Yao Yuxi first showed his edge, he was holding a wine glass in his hand and was accidentally scratched by her. "It's really naughty!" Yu Xuan smiled helplessly: "I don't know what kind of poison it is, it's so powerful." It seems that we have to find a secluded place to heal first. ”

After listening to Yao Yuxi's explanation, the captain suddenly realized: "It turns out that the young lady has been prepared!" Yao Yuxi nodded, lowered his head and stroked the short sword, and said softly: "His martial arts are above me, and I am not sure that he can defeat him, so I have smeared poison on the "Broken Jade" in advance, as long as I accidentally hurt him, I will have the opportunity to get the jade pendant, I never thought that he would still have the ability to escape. ”

The captain asked, "Then where will he go?" Yao Yuxi looked around, pointed downstream, and said: "A few miles ahead, there is a ferry, there is a tavern there, it is the place he passed by back then, human nature has a sense of familiarity, I think he will be no exception, let's go there directly to block him." ”

But it was said that Guichen and his party originally went straight down the river, and at this moment they also appeared on the Huaishui, and several people went by boat all the way, and just entered the Huaishui realm, they had received a flying pigeon message.

Yisu asked, "Sister Yumo, do you know why Aunt Lan doesn't let us go south to Nanjing, but instead wants us to go to the northwest?" Yumo unfolded a short note that she had read several times, and there were only a few lines on it, and she said: "The book says that the other party has obtained the wind and snow Qiankun fan and the unicorn jade pendant on Aunt Lan's body, but I am afraid that they will go directly to get the treasure!"

Yumo pondered for a while, glanced at the bow of the boat, and then said: "Back then, Uncle Feng gave Xue Qingbi a piece to save Uncle Jiu; Senior Brother Mao was taken away by Xue Qingbi in the Blue Jade Mansion; and Aunt Lan lost a piece a few days ago. ”

"What about the fourth piece?" Guichen couldn't help asking, "Since there must be five pieces of unicorn jade to open the treasure, then they must know the whereabouts of the fourth piece, right?" A few days ago, Master passed the jade pendant to him and asked him to go to Nanjing. ”

Yisu said: "Amitabha, since Daddy handed over the jade pendant to Yu Xuan, isn't he also targeted?" Yumo nodded and said: "Yu Xuan has also gone south, according to the itinerary, he is one day behind us, but he has gone all the way south, I believe he has arrived at the agreed ferry to wait for us." Aunt Lan meant to let us meet him first, so that we could take care of him. ”

"I haven't seen him in eight years. Yisu sighed. Yumo sighed: "Eight years ago, after the accident of Guichen and Jinxiu, Shi Niang had a big fight with the master, and the master was angry, regardless of everyone's dissuasion, and since then she has been isolated from the world, went to Tianshan, and never met her master again. ”

"Is there such a thing?" Yisu asked in surprise, "Why have you never heard anyone say it?" Yumo glanced at Guichen, and saw that he looked down and didn't see joy or anger, so he said again: "This matter is also strange, since Shi Niang returned to Tianshan, she has never gone out, she doesn't come to see Guichen, and all visitors don't see it." ”

Yisu frowned slightly, and hurriedly asked: "My father and mother have a very good relationship, and I have never quarreled, after my mother left, didn't he go to look for my father?" Yumo sighed: "Master goes there several times a year, but my mother avoids it." It wasn't until last year that the master told the news of Guichen that the master's anger calmed down a little and she was willing to come out to see him. ”

Yumo turned his head to Guichen and said, "Master looked for Jinxiu everywhere back then, but there was no trace, and he has never given up for so many years, so Guichen, you don't have to be angry with him." ”

"Hmph!" Guichen turned his head and didn't look at Yumo, and said indifferently: "I will find Jinxiu by myself, and I don't need him to worry about it." Before Yumo could say more, Yisu had already reached out to stop her, and said with a smile: "It just so happens that I have nothing to do, just enough to fulfill the promise of the year!" Guichen listened to him talk about this, thinking of the bits and pieces of the past eight years, and his heart couldn't help but feel sour.

However, he said that Yuxuan's poisoning was not light, and he did not treat his injuries in time, and he was barely running at the moment, and the poison went with the blood, and he was already tired. Seeing that his limbs were gradually slowing down, his expression was solemn, and he was not lightly injured. Yu Xuan held the big tree in his hand, spat out black blood, and looked at the tavern not far ahead, and couldn't help but look a little calm.

Yao Yuxi took the captain all the way down the river, and the two got off the boat at the ferry in front of the tavern, and then rushed to the tavern. Yao Yuxi stood at the door of the tavern for a while, and waited for the breath to be slightly flattened before opening the curtain and entering.

As soon as the two entered, they saw Yu Xuan sitting in the most obvious place in the hall, there was only a jar of wine on the table, it seemed that he had just arrived, and the dishes he ordered had not yet been served. Yao Yuxi saw that his face was blue and his spirit was not very good, so he couldn't help but smile, didn't look at the others, and just said to him: "Gongzi is really a person who misses the old, and he really came here." ”

When Yu Xuan saw her coming, he couldn't help but smile and said, "The girl is really an infatuated lover! Xiao Ke has run so far, you will still follow." Since you're going to come along, you might as well find a place to eat and drink, so you don't have to be a starving ghost!"

The other people in the tavern listened to Yu Xuan's tone, it seemed that this girl was in love with people, and people refused, so they chased and killed all the way, and when they saw the appearance of this girl, they couldn't help but be a little dumbfounded.

Yao Yuxi was in her prime after all, and when she saw everyone looking at her at this moment, she couldn't help but blush. But after all, she has been tempered a lot, her mind is tenacious, and she calmed down again in a blink of an eye, she nodded and said directly: "What Gongzi said is very wrong, if you give me the jade pendant, I will not kill you." ”

"It seems that it was really in vain, didn't you say it?" Yu Xuan picked up a jar of wine on the table, poured himself a bowl, took a sip slowly, and then said, "The jade pendant can't be given to you." ”

Yao Yuxi sighed and said, "That little woman is only offended." Yu Xuan waved his hand and said in a manly voice: "Don't worry, the girl invited me to drink, how can the kid not invite you back." Yao Yuxi knew that he was delaying time, but he was not fooled, he shook his arm, and the short sword flashed out of his sleeve, and she said coquettishly: "You better keep yourself and go to the Hades Palace to drink." ”

Yao Yuxi's body was extremely fast, and the short sword was like lightning, and everyone could only vaguely see a flash of bright light. When Yu Xuan saw her coming, he flipped his wrist, and the wine glass just hit Yao Yuxi's wrist. Yao Yuxi only felt a pain in his wrist, and couldn't help but be stunned, and said secretly in his heart: "Isn't he poisoned?

She didn't wait to change her mind, she took the short sword in her left hand and slashed it straight towards Yu Xuan's neck, Yu Xuan raised her head, and the short sword just grazed her neck. Before Yu Xuan had time to rejoice, he suddenly felt a heavy blow to his chest, causing him to fall out.

Yu Xuan only felt a fishy smell in his throat, and spit out a mouthful of blood, he got up and looked, only to see an ash rod from Yao Yuxi's waist, and the person holding the rod was the man.

It turned out that when the two of them were fighting each other, Yao Yuxi saw that although his moves were fast, his strength was very weak, even if his wrist was hit, it was just a feeling of a hard object blow, which was not at all like an internal force attached. Yao Yuxi said with a smile: "Childe is really injured and can't move." Yu Xuan wiped the blood stains on his mouth and asked, "How can you see it?" Yao Yuxi said: "Just now, I changed my trick when I was in danger, but you didn't retreat, just raised your head to avoid it, if it wasn't for the injury, you wouldn't have done this risky move." ”

Yu Xuan sighed and said, "Miss Yao is worthy of being specialized in this business, and she is really smart. You and the one behind you, one in front and one behind, one bright and one dark, cooperate so well" Yao Yuxi chuckled: "If it weren't for your injuries, we wouldn't have been so easy to get it." Yao Yuxi stepped forward slowly, and was about to attack Yuxuan.

The door suddenly darkened, and the figure flickered, but a group of people came in. Everyone looked back, and a group of four people were slowly entering. Yao Yuxi saw the comer, but he was stunned again, and blurted out: "It's you!"

Guichen couldn't help but be stunned when he saw that she was holding a sharp blade and was independent of the crowd, but he was immediately relieved and said with a smile: "It turned out to be you, girl......!

Several people looked behind her, only to see Yu Xuan half-lying on the ground, the blood stains on the corners of his mouth were obvious, but Yu Mo hurriedly said, "Jiu'er, why are you injured?" She hurriedly stepped forward and prepared to help Yu Xuan get up. But I didn't want to suddenly a stick slashed horizontally, and I heard the whirring and urgency in the air, and this stick was actually powerful.

It turned out that when the captain saw Yumo coming forward, he was afraid that something would happen again, so he hurriedly intervened to stop him. Yumo saw that the situation was wrong, and his feet kept bending his waist, and it was a standard "iron plate bridge" posture that slid past. Seeing that when she came to Yu Xuan's side, her posture turned over, she lifted Yu Xuan's arm with her left hand, pulled a belt along the way, and used her heel as the fulcrum, pulling him to rotate like a spinning top before standing up.

Watch her dodge, save people, and stand up, her movements are as chic and smooth as flowing water. Yumo connected a few big points in front of him, helped him to the table and sat down, took out a pill, and said, "Take this pill first, and I will detoxify you in a while." Yu Xuan patted her hand and comforted, "Oh! I'm fine." Yumo and he are sisters and brothers of the same mother, and they haven't seen each other for several years, and when they first met at this moment, they saw that he was seriously injured like this, only to feel that his eyes suddenly became sore, and he said with tears in his eyes: "You still said that they are all injured like this." ”

Yu Xuan's face suddenly turned red, thinking that he was a young man after all, and he was being cared for by his sister at the moment, and he felt very awkward in his heart, and he just wanted to get up quickly, so as not to be laughed at by others.

"Hmph!" Yao Yuxi saw that they were so close, and for some reason there was a sudden sour feeling in his heart, and he said coldly: "It turned out to be you!"

Guichen smiled: "It turned out to be you, the girl! I thought that I wouldn't meet that day!" It turned out that this girl was the girl in red who met in the restaurant in the city of the Daimyo's mansion. Guichen asked, "Now can I ask the girl's name?"

Yu Xuan asked, "Do you know each other?" Yu Mo hummed and said, "We met in the Daimyo's Mansion City, and she helped us at that time." Yu Xuan glared at her and said, "Then your friend wants to kill me, and you still don't care?" Yu Mo explained: "Oh! We don't know her well, and we don't know her name yet." Yu Xuan took the wine bowl and poured herself a glass, and said, "Oh! Her name is Yao Yuxi, she is thirteen or fourteen years old, she is good at using short swords, she is good at killing, her voice is slightly curled, she is a northerner; ”

"Huh?" Yumo said strangely: "Do you know each other, you know so clearly...... Yuxuan spread his hands and said helplessly: "As soon as we met, she was going to rob and kill, do you know each other?" Yumo glared at him and asked strangely: "Are you bullying others?"

Everyone listened to Yumo's question, coupled with the conversation between Yuxuan and Yao Yuxi just now, many people in the store had their own guesses, and even had a clear expression, an old man suddenly pointed at Yuxuan, shook his head again and again, and said: "You, you, you are young! Actually bullying weak girls in broad daylight, let my old man say what is good about you!"

At this time, everyone was simmering and golden, but they didn't give Yu Xuan a chance to explain at all, which made his heart furious, and his face was even greener.

"Everyone, slow down!" Guichen took a step forward and said in a manly voice: "I also think that this person has done too much, not like a good person!" Yuxuan saw him fall into the well, and couldn't help but say angrily: "You ......" Guichen waved his hand to signal him not to speak, and continued: "Miss Yao, is this kid bullying you?" Yao Yuxi saw that everyone was helping him, and immediately nodded and said: "Yes, I was kind enough to take him across the river, I never thought that he would see me alone, and he wanted to do something wrong to me." Guichen nodded, and said seriously: "Come to think of it, this kid is just a young man, and it is possible to think about it when he sees other girls." Is this husband a slave of the girl?" Yao Yuxi nodded and said, "Not bad." Guichen smiled: "Your slave is born with a good appearance!"

Everyone heard his words strangely, and when they looked at it, they saw that the slave had an ordinary face, and even if he was put in the pile, he would not attract attention, but he was born tall and big, and his body was very burly, and his muscles were intimidating.

Guichen continued: "If you change the position and see that the girl has such a houseslave, you don't dare to think anything wrong about the girl. As soon as he said this, everyone looked at Yao Yuxi in unison. Yao Yuxi saw that Guichen said that everyone was suspicious of him, and he couldn't help but stomp his feet and hurriedly said: "What do you see! He is strong in martial arts, and he wants to bully him with force!"

"It's nothing. Guichen looked at Yu Xuan and said with a smile: "Hey, the jade pendant on this kid is really good-looking, how about taking it and giving it to the girl?" Yao Yuxi listened to him very relaxed, although he had some doubts in his heart, but he still nodded violently, and said happily: "Okay!

Yumo said angrily: "Okay! After talking for a long time, I can't see that you are not very old, and you really want to kill people and sell goods!" Only then did the spectators react, looked at Yao Yuxi, and then looked at Yumo, and they were so frightened that they retreated again and again, not daring to get any closer.

"Hmph!" Yao Yuxi saw that the matter was revealed, and pouted: "Since you all know, then I will kill you all" Yisu was on the side, and whispered: "It seems that it is not by chance that this girl appeared in the Daimyo Mansion at the beginning!" Guichen nodded and said to Yao Yuxi: "Xiao Ke has something unclear, and I hope the girl can solve my doubts." Yao Yuxi frowned and asked, "What's the matter?" Guichen sighed: "As far as Xiao Ke knows, there are now three pieces of unicorn jade in the south, but the girl appears in the north, and she also wants a jade pendant, if you say that the one who wants to get the jade pendant the most is still in the south, then you are from Nanfu?"

Yao Yuxi was stunned by the question, and then said slowly: "What people from Nanfu? I was just ordered to get the jade pendant." The servant behind her said in a low voice: "In the martial arts now, the north and the south are standing, the south is the north and the north, and there have been battles for so many years, and each has been injured for a while. ”

"Nanfu Beicheng?what is that?" Yao Yuxi asked, "Why did Master never mention it to me?" The servant explained, "Nanfu is the Chen Mansion in Nanjing, which is a force headed by Confucian immortals, and the North City is the Guiwang City, which is honored by the Wind God. Sir let you concentrate on martial arts, so I didn't bother you until you came out on a mission this time!" Yao Yuxi suddenly said: "Hey! I've been out for almost two months, why have I never heard of them?" The servant said respectfully: "Confucian immortals have never left Nanjing City, and the wind gods don't know why, and they don't go south, as if they have all retired." He paused for a moment, and then said: "However, although the two no longer show up, there are many conflicts between the two sides. Yao Yuxi sighed, and suddenly asked, "Then which side of the people are we?" The servant smiled awkwardly and replied: "We don't count either side, we are just entrusted by others." ”

"Okay!" Yao Yuxi seemed to be a little disappointed, and said to Yu Xuan: "Give me the jade pendant quickly, otherwise I will kill you." Yumo snorted: "I can't imagine that you are so arrogant at such a young age, do you think you can kill anyone with just a girl and a servant?"

Yao Yuxi looked around and said with a smile: "We definitely can't kill you on our own, but what!" she paused before she said, "Do you think we are the only ones in this tavern who want the jade pendant on your body?"

When Yumo heard her say this, she immediately became alert, but Yao Yuxi said: "We have a meeting in the mountains and rivers, and there will be a period in the future." After saying that, he turned around and left the tavern with his servants.

But at this time, a person stood up from the corner table, arched his hand and asked: "After many years, you little friends are not harmed!" Everyone looked for the voice, this person had red eyebrows and phoenix eyes, looked handsome, looked like Pan An, and really looked like a humble gentleman, but everyone didn't know it.

The man was about to say more, when Yu Xuan suddenly glared at him and said in a deep voice, "It's you!"
