In the middle of the night, the clouds covered the moon, the stars closed their eyes, and the desolate wind whistled through the whole city, responding to the silence between heaven and earth, and there were only a few noisy and lively lights left, and most of the remaining city was plunged into darkness.

Most of the people who toiled all day fell into a deep sleep, the leisurely wandering children all day long were full of energy, the scholars who stayed up late to study persistently guarded the lights, and the soldiers on night duty stomped their feet and shrunk their necks to hold the whole city.

In the darkness of half of the city, on a wide but chaotic street, a man in black is cautiously walking in the shadows, covered in black to make him merge with the night, and the ups and downs of his clever light skills are silent. It is obvious that this man in black has an ulterior motive, and at this moment, the goal of his night walk has been accomplished, and what he is doing now is only to hide people's eyes and ears, trying to confuse or get rid of the non-existent stalker.

It's a sign of caution that stems from his character. In the past, he had been praised many times for the word prudence engraved in his character, but this time his prudence caused him unnecessary trouble.

This wide and chaotic street is located in the northwest of the city, he spent the right amount of time to hide and counter-check, several ambushes and inspections made him sure that his actions were not noticed, and no one followed, and when faced with another fork in the road, he chose an extremely narrow and uninhabited path, and plunged into it slightly, avoiding all the and urine scattered on the ground, and hiding in a corner.

Yes, because of its seclusion and congestion, it is chosen by many people as a convenient and good place. A dead end with no exit, littered with debris and excrement that has been discarded at will. He waited in the dark for thirty mental counts, and after making sure that no one noticed or appeared near the path, he turned around and walked out of the dead end in an alternative way.

The road was dilapidated, and there were many openings in the wall, and he "flowed out" like mercury from a gap that he had found in advance, and then meandered through the shadows, and finally followed a hidden dog hole, passed through the city wall, and came to the outside of the city, and lay in a weed for a long time, to make sure that there was no ambush here, he got up quietly, changed his clothes in the dark, stood up in the weeds, and began to implement another plan.

A plan that can make him return to where he came from without noticing.

Compared with the section inside the city, the outside of the city can almost be said to be relaxed. The perfect implementation of the plan designed by himself, the perfect completion of the plan designed by himself, the perfect feeling of perfection, and a little pride in my heart.

However, at the same time, he suddenly woke up: smugness is an emotion that should not appear before the plan is completed!

He had not yet returned to where he had come, had not yet erased all traces of it, and could not be complacent! When he had written down this fallacy and tried to improve it in the future, he suddenly felt startled in his heart, and turned back, lowered his body slightly, and was fully guarded.

Sparkling eyes looked at a small crooked-necked tree, although it was in the dark, he also knew clearly that it was a willow tree, some of the roots had been uprooted for unknown reasons, the trunk was tilted to the ground at a height of half a foot, the thick willow branches hung low, and the longest ones touched the ground.

All the terrain and details of the area were memorized by him, so he knew there was someone!

And the truth was as he expected, as he turned around, a short sneer came, as if he was laughing at the man in black, his pupils shrank, and he quickly calculated the location of the sound and the possibility of his own kill with one blow in his mind, but the next laughter shocked his heart.

A chuckle, from behind.

"Jiang Zuo, look, he plans to find us with his voice and kill him with a sword!"

"Your Highness, rest assured, as long as you want him to not find us, he will definitely not find us. ”

"Hey, this princess isn't afraid, even if he knows where we are, he won't be able to kill him with a sword......! I'm afraid that two swords can't kill you, Jiang Zuo, if you stand still and let him stab, how many swords can he kill you?"

"Returning to His Royal Highness, if it is a throat or other vital point, with the full strength of this one, Jiang Zuo can see blood after a hundred swords, and Jiang Zuo can be seriously injured after a thousand swords, but if you want to kill Jiang Zuo, if you don't have special means...... It's almost impossible. ”

"Hey, it's a pity, it seems that this son's plan has failed, if he can't kill Jiang Zuo, with murderous intent, you can't get close to my side!

The man in black's body, which was originally as tight as a bowstring, completely relaxed in the second sentence of the conversation between the two.

There is no way, the difference in strength is too great, and the means that can be used are also worlds apart. In the short few words of conversation between the two just now, the voice was erratic, every word came out from different places, and two sentences even appeared in his ears.

If this is the only way, he will not give up the will to resist, there are many people who are tricky and deceitful among the opponents he encounters, and what really makes him give up his killing intent is because of the strong will that goes straight to the heart.

At the same time as the man known as Jiang Zuo spoke, that will brutally drilled into his brain from the center of his eyebrows, suppressed all his attempts to use force, and transmitted three sentences directly to his heart:

"Use force, die!

Kill with intent, die!

If the princess is not satisfied, ten thousand deaths!"

The beast-like will is extremely strong, and he has no doubt that the other party will not hesitate to kill him, even if it is because the princess who appeared inexplicably is not satisfied. So he did not hesitate to give up all thoughts of resistance, and in the face of the power that could easily decide his life and death, he could resist and not use force.

He stood up straight, still facing the crooked-necked tree, and kept silent, deaf to the princess's questions. And the princess soon couldn't wait, so she asked, and continued to ask: "That son, tell me quickly, what are you going to do now?"

The beast-like will moved, urging him to answer, and after being silent for a long time, he finally spoke: "What is the villain going to do, the princess has already read it in her heart." ”

The words of the man in black seemed to touch the switch of the princess's laughter, and the princess suddenly laughed non-stop. With laughter, the man in black pictured a fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl sitting on a tree with a crooked neck and laughing wildly.

"Disrespectful to the princess,"

A flash of thought made the will that was entrenched in his mind realize that a new warning was halfway through his mind when he was interrupted by the princess, who this time began to speak directly in his head:

"Jiang Zuo, it's okay. He's funny, and I even like him a little bit!," the voice paused slightly, and the image of the girl he had imagined just now changed automatically, her figure became clearer, and her face became blurred, "This is what I look like...... Well, what I look like, you don't deserve to know right now. ”

With the change of the illusion in his mind, the crooked neck tree in front of him showed a sitting human figure formed by fluorescence, goose yellow clothes, petite and delicate body, two small legs as smooth as jade, hanging under the tree and swaying one after the other, the princess body composed of fluorescence leaned forward: "Hey, that child, don't be so boring, don't you have a girl you like in your heart?" Before dawn, talking to a faceless girl in a wild grass, don't you think it's weird?"

After the princess finished speaking, the vague face on the tree changed, first a dirty child, then a stubborn little girl, and finally fixed on a woman's face, the princess was very interested in the three changes in her face: "Oh, you like a wide range...... Oh, it's really a person, I can't tell you're quite affectionate!"

Countless memories popped up in his mind: it suddenly dawned on him that he was looking through his own memories. He lowered his head, simply because he didn't want to look at the face that made him feel emotional.

The heaviest hour of the night had passed, and he had lost the best time to return because of the strange princess in front of him. The sky began to turn blue, and it would not be long before the first rays of light appeared.

"It's not early. ”

He thought silently in his heart, and the princess who kept looking at her new face with the mirror also heard this, suddenly put away the mirror, looked up and thought for a moment, and said with a smile: "Well, although you woke up tonight, you have brought a lot of joy to this princess, especially those skills that hide to see if anyone is following, if it weren't for the princess's ordinary people who can't notice it, you will really find out!"

"So, this princess has decided to give you a wish!" the girl announced her decision in a matter-of-fact manner, "Say, you can do anything but let this princess be summoned as a colt!"

"Anything?" he looked up in surprise, and after seeing the nod of confirmation from the other side, he pondered for a long time, and suddenly said, "Help me steal the purple gold jade bottle from the God of Wealth in Xijing." ”

After saying that, he recalled all the information related to the Purple Gold Jade Bottle in his mind, and even helped them think of the method, but suddenly felt that the two wills entrenched in his brain had disappeared.

He looked at the princess of the rivers and lakes in amazement, only to see the fluorescent fluorescence that gradually dissipated, the princess waved her hand, and the face that haunted her was full of smiles, as if she knew his question, so she explained aloud: "I just need to know your wishes, as for how to help you do it, you don't have to think about anything, just wait for me to find you again!"

"Goodbye, boy, remember me! Well, I approve you keep the memory of me, and as for what you call me, you can call me—"

"Robbing the rich and helping the poor, being compassionate, being kind and generous, clever and clever, kind and lovely...... Hey, Jiang Zuo, what other words are there? It's the ones you gave me!"

"Returning to His Royal Highness, it is a sinking fish and a wild goose, a shy flower in the closed moon, and I am the only one in the rivers and lakes. ”

"Oh, yes, yes, yes, that is, the sinking fish and the geese, the moon and the flowers, and the rivers and lakes, I am the only one-"

"Jianghu Princess!"

The other party was far away, the pressure dissipated, but the young man was still standing in the grass, chewing on the unexpected encounter repeatedly, and after a while, the morning light sprinkled all over the land, and the young man woke up from his contemplation, bent down and sneaked into the grass, and kept moving away.

The young man's gaze was still sharp, his body was still calm, but his heart was already in turmoil, and a word was hovering in his heart, lingering, filling all his mind—

Jianghu princess,

Jianghu princess!
