In the ninth year of Emperor Xia Wu, in mid-August.

Yizhou assassinated Wu Yu, and surrounded the poison fort of Shu County.

Qingyun Sect Master Duanmu Xiaoxian brought the big disciple Shaoyang Leng Sword Ye Luye and the three disciples Zi Wuming to fight with him. Wu Yu confronted dozens of people in the fort with 9,000 soldiers and horses, and the people in the fort suffered heavy casualties.

Later, with the help of the descendants of the Yu family, the puppet corpse held a thousand blood crossbows to guard the entrance of the Quartet, and then had to retreat to the fort and stalemate for more than ten days.

By the end of August, in front of the gate of the poison castle, Ye Luye's long sword pointed directly at Wu Yu, and the army wanted to take this person's head!

The middle-aged general sitting on the horse jumped up, and smashed the double hammer in his hand to Ye Luye's chest, the strong wind was blowing, as heavy as a thousand jun, Ye Luye was actually hard to connect, and at the same time gritted his teeth and threw the sword forward while spitting out the blood in his mouth, the sound of breaking the air was like a whistle, flashing cold light in the air, and the tip of Shaoyang's sword was straight to Wu Yu's throat, seeing that he would take this person's life!

The next moment, it was King Ling who arrived, snapped his fingers and shot the ring seal in his hand to knock away the tip of the sword, and then swung his palm at Ye Luye with a volley. Duanmu Xiaoxian learned that Ye Luye came out rashly and rushed in time, forced Ye Qi away with a silver needle, and narrowly saved Ye Luye.

Ye Ping, Ye Qing, and Ye Fei then wanted to move, and they all wanted to make a move, but they were stopped by Ye Qi.

"There's no hurry. ”

Shaoyang's sword slid past the side of Wu Yu's neck but brought out a trace of blood, and fell forward, Ye Luye struggled to get up and get the sword back, Ah Zi jumped out from Duanmu's side and said, "Ah Zi will bring it back for Senior Sister!"

But almost at the same time, Ye Lan jumped out and caught the Shaoyang sword, landed in front of Ye Qi, and handed it out with both hands: "Father." ”

Ye Qi's gloomy and cold gaze swept over Shaoyang's sword body, and he smiled meaningfully: "Okay." ”

Ah Zi's big eyes were slightly dumbfounded, and he was angry in the next moment, and when he wanted to make a move again, he was stopped by Duanmu Immortal. "Ah Zi, come back. ”

Ye Qi turned his face with his hand, looked at Duanmu Xiaoxian and smiled: "I don't want this king to give such a big gift as soon as he arrives." Ye Qi stared at the woman in the wooden wheelchair meaningfully, and did not shy away from saying: "Do you know that this king's trip is for this sword?"

Ye Luye was shocked when he heard this.

"I have kept Wu Yu still, keeping your life alive, and also to get this sword intact......"

On Duanmu Xiaoxian's pale and cold face, his expression changed slightly.

Several people in the rivers and lakes who rushed to help after hearing the news stood behind Duanmu Xiaoxian, and they were shocked when they heard the words: What does King Ling want Shaoyang Sword to do?!

"Why do you want the Shaoyang Sword...... Ye Luye Qiang pressed the churning qi and blood in his chest, and his voice was cold: "Could it be that there is something in the Shaoyang Sword that King Ling is eager to get?"

The man in white sat still, thought of something, and muttered in a low voice: "King Xuan's relics...... Arsenal Diagram ......"

"Hahaha......" Although his voice was small, Ye Qi still heard it clearly, and couldn't help but laugh on his back: "Yes! This king has learned that the military treasury map that can be obtained from King Xuan's military resources is in this Shaoyang sword. Then his face turned cold, and he said coldly: "So, it's a big gift?"

Ye Luye's lips were bleeding, and he said coldly: "Impossible!"

Ye Qi didn't say much, just sneered.

In front of the soldiers and horses, Wu Yu walked in front of King Ling and bowed down. "Wu Yu see the prince!"

Ye Qi stretched out his hand to help Wu Yu up.

Then he turned his face and walked a few steps in front of the Duanmu Immortal Chair, looked at her and said, "Three days later, this king got the blueprint in the sword, and there was no one left in the poison castle." ”

The brown tear mole under his right eye glowed softly with his slightly raised laugh lines, but Ye Qi's expression was gloomy, looking at the white-clothed man in the chair without blinking, and his voice was cold, quiet and gloomy: "Especially you, who are respected and admired by the people of the world, known as the 'head of the three saints', and the so-called descendant of Qingyunjian-Duanmu Xiaoxian ......" The ring seal between his fingers was lightly grinded, and he whispered: "Change my throne, change my country, and force my dignified prince to bear the word 'rebellion', and ...... to this point"

Ye Qi's eyes were cold, but there was a soft and faint smile on his face: "This king swears here...... It will definitely make you worse than dead, and you will regret it!"

"You're dreaming!" Ye Luye said angrily.

"I want to move my master, see if you have the ability!" The man in purple also raised his eyebrows and shouted loudly.

The people in the rivers and lakes behind the man in white couldn't help but worry: "Sir!" "Sir......"

Duanmu Xiaoxian lowered his eyes for a moment, and said quietly: "Return to the castle with me." ”

Wu Yu saw that he wanted to retreat, and immediately sent someone to chase him, but Ye Qi raised his hand to stop him. "Leave them two more days. ”

Yu Yunzhi waited until everyone retreated to the gate of the poison castle, and immediately ordered the Jianghu people guarding the gate to close the gate, and controlled dozens of corpse Gu people behind the door to ambush on both sides with thousands of blood crossbows, not leaving an inch.

……

In the Poison Castle Guest House, the master and apprentice had already moved here to live in the empty room with everyone to prevent changes.

At this time, in the leafy room, the woman in green struggled to get up, and Duanmu Xiaoxian raised her hand and pressed her back on the couch. "You're in serious condition. ”

"Master......" Ye Luye said sadly: "What Ye Qi said ......"

Duanmu Xiaoxian's pale face was even more pale than in the past. She said slowly: "If it is true as he said, you and I are trapped here, and it is inevitable that the Shaoyang Sword will fall into his hands...... You don't have to mind. ”

"It's the disciple's incompetence! I couldn't kill Wu Yu......"

Duanmu Xiaoxian scolded worriedly: "You are too reckless today......

Ye Luye looked at the person next to the couch tightly: "If King Ling really gets the arsenal map, the world will be in chaos......

The woman in the chair had to sigh: "You should know that the world is in chaos." ”

Ye Luye immediately twisted his voice: "If there is no arsenal map, it will be difficult for Ye Qi and Wu Yu's forces to fight against the emperor, and it is only a matter of time before the emperor quells the rebellion, and the master is trapped here as the heir of Qingyun Jian, Ye Qi Xu will take the master as a hostage and keep it as a backhand;

Duanmu Xiaoxian sighed slightly: "Life and death are fate, don't be too persistent." If it comes, it will be safe. ”

"Master!" Ye Luye said solemnly: "You are the heir of Qingyun Jian, you must not have anything!"

Duanmu Xiaoxian stretched out his hand to dissolve the blood in her chest, and said lightly: "Everything has its own destiny, life and death, blessings and misfortunes, you and I can't ask for it." ”

Ye Luye was worried: "Master!"

After hesitating for a moment, Ye Luye looked at the person in front of him, and said bluntly: "Lu'er knows that there is indeed a hidden box in the Shaoyang Sword. When my father gave me the Shaoyang sword, the Shaoyang sword spectrum was in the hidden box of the sword handle, but the hidden box mechanism was extremely delicate and complicated, and it has never been opened since the Shaoyang sword spectrum was taken out. ”

Duanmu's face was silent when he heard this, and he nodded slightly: "I know for the teacher." ”

"Master...... It's Lu'er's fault......"

Duanmu shook his head and said warmly: "It is unforeseen that the Shaoyang Sword is associated with the Junku Diagram, and the loss of the Shaoyang Sword is not what you want, you don't have to worry about it...... And recuperate with peace of mind. ”

Ye Luye was only more worried when he heard this: "My father once told me: If the mechanism of the Shaoyang Sword Box is not guided, it should be difficult to break in the short term, and if it is broken, it will not be able to get the things in the box." Master, can you ......?"

Duanmu looked up at her.

Ye Luye stood up, knelt on the couch and said, "...... Master, can you leave the Poison Castle before King Ling takes out the Arsenal Map?"

Ye Luye's face was full of anxiety, and he looked directly at Duanmu: "If you don't leave, it's too late!" Now the master still has some spare strength, let Yu Yunzhi and Ah Zi protect the master and leave, don't care about the people in the fort anymore...... Master, my disciple, please!"

Duanmu's eyes had to be moved. He bowed his head in silence and shook his head very softly. "You can't be a teacher. ”

"Master!"

"Ye Qi and Weishi have long had a grudge, if I leave here, with his heart, it will be difficult to let go of the rest of the people in the fort. ”

"Even if Master doesn't leave, he won't let it go!"

"I remain here, and the people in the fort have a glimmer of life to wait for the turnaround, and if I leave, there will be no one left in the fort. ”

"Master, the disciple is no longer able to protect you, but Lu'er must not let you have anything to ......do," Ye Luye's voice was dumb.

Duanmu stretched out his hand and stroked the back of her cold and trembling hand, and said softly: "Don't worry too much, Master promised you that you will do your best to protect yourself before you are injured......

"Master......"

Ye Luye couldn't finish his words, and reached out to cover his mouth and vomited a mouthful of blood!

"Lie down, and don't be angry. "Duanmu Xiaoxian took Zhu Yedan and took it with her, and then took the frost dew, wanting to carry her luck.

Ye Luye raised his hand to stop it, refusing to agree.

Duanmu Xiaoxian stared at her with empty eyes, and finally curled his fingers back, and stayed by her bedside until late at night.

Ah Zi pushed the man in white who couldn't stop coughing back to the next door, lowered his head and said in a muffled voice: "Master, Ah Zi can kill Ye Qi." ”

Duanmu was stunned when he heard this, and shook his head the next moment: "No." ”

The purple-clothed man pushed Duanmu into the room and emphasized again: "It's true! Master believes in Ah Zi, Ah Zi can kill him!"

Duanmu Xiaoxian said in a silent voice: "Do you know why the teacher repeatedly does not allow you to use force?"

Ah Ziwei was stunned and looked at the man in white.

"Because your body can't bear your martial arts for a long time. If you repeatedly use force, the magic sword will occupy your mind, just like the poisons refined in the old poison castle...... No more inhumanity. ”

Duanmu Immortal Su said: "And once you use force, the Crossing Body Gu in the palm of your master's hand will quickly devour the Yuan to protect yourself...... Now that the teacher has little power left, there is nothing left to lose......"

Ah Zi's big eyes blinked, and his eyes couldn't help but condense mist, worried and confused, and at a loss: "Master...... Could it be that Ah Zi can't do anything...... Can't you do anything?"

Duanmu's voice slowed down, stared into the distance, and said to her softly: "You and Lu'er are by the side of the teacher, and now you are still safe, the master feels relieved and can rest assured." ”

Ah Zi couldn't help but sniffle when she heard this, bent down on Duanmu's knees, and cried out in a low voice: "Master, you must not be fine, Xiao Yunzi and the second senior sister have not come back yet...... Xiao Yunzi hasn't forgiven Ah Zi yet...... You must ...... it well" Swallowing unstoppably, Ah Zi choked up: "...... It's all to blame Ah Zi for being useless...... It's all because Ah Zi dragged down the master...... It's all Ah Zi's fault......"

Xue Wa'er, who was nested on the side of the wooden wheelchair, pricked up her head, looked at the purple-clothed person in front of her in a daze, and her big round eyes blinked, as if she didn't expect: This person will also admit his mistakes one day......

Duanmu Xiaoxian was gentle between her eyebrows, her eyes were soft, and she reached out and stroked her head.

"Don't think about it, it's not Ah Zi's fault. ”

The man in purple reached out and hugged the waist of the woman in the chair, only crying louder. "Master...... Woo-"

……

The next day, in the morning, before mid-hour, several meteor arrows were shot into the courtyard of the poison castle.

Yu Yunzhi and the people in the rivers and lakes found it in time and quickly extinguished it, and everyone watched Duanmu Xiaoxian come out of the room, their faces were dignified.

"Sir, King Ling, this is a warning! If the thousands of soldiers and horses in front of the door shoot fire and arrows into it, we will have no way out!"

Duanmu Immortal's face was even paler than yesterday, and Yu Yun was worried in his heart.

The woman in the chair nodded slightly, and said softly, "He should have asked me to wait out...... Let's go. ”

The gate of the poison castle slowly opened, and more than a dozen people from the rivers and lakes walked out solemnly behind Duanmu Xiaoxian's wheelchair.

"Lord Wang. ”

Duanmu Xiaoxian sat quietly in the chair, his empty eyes raised slightly, and looked at the place in front of the front of the gate and the array of soldiers and horses.

Ye Qi was wearing a smoke-colored brocade robe, with a light-colored wide band around his waist, decorated with pearls, and the scene of a hundred birds and phoenixes on his clothes was vivid, his long hair was coiled up with a jade crown, passed through with a golden hairpin, and covered with a light and thin pale gold gauze robe, leaning on the wide carved dragon open chair behind him at the moment, he was looking at the woman in white without blinking, with a playful expression and a leisurely posture.

"Because I learned that the hidden box of the mechanism in Shaoyang's sword could only be opened at night, and it didn't work out last night, so I had to wait a little longer...... So when I had nothing to do during the day, I came to visit my husband and wanted to ask him to ......"

Ye Qi looked directly at the white-clothed woman who was dozens of steps away from her, raised her lips and smiled, "...... Before this battle, he danced a song for the king. ”
