Chapter 12 Reinforcements
This stalemate between the two sides lasted for a full moment, and it was not until the arrival of the Shibuya Four Valleys Lord Qu Yuehuai, the Five Valleys Lord Yuan Qian, the Seven Valleys Lord Tian Qianli, and one of the four killers, Bai Chun, were broken.
The four of them strangely and delicately passed over the people who were fighting in the courtyard, and rushed straight into Ruoyi's room. Tian Qianli and Bai Chun appeared beside Qu Hanyan on the left and right, and exchanged hands with Du An and Tu Zhen respectively, and Qu Hanyan freed his hand for a while. The next moment, Qu Yuehuai and Yuan Qian also came to Qu Hanyan and stood still.
"I'll ask Zhang Yu to inform you, you and the fifth brother are here, why are the seventh brothers and Bai Chun also here?" Qu Hanyan looked at Qu Yuehuai and said in a low voice.
"When I received the news from Zhang Yu, the seventh brother happened to be next to me, he knew that the princess was in danger, how could he not come?" Qu Yuehuai said, glancing at Chan'er, and seeing that she was fine, he nodded at her.
Bai Chun and Xian'er overheard the anxious voice of the seventh brother, Bai Chun has always wanted to avenge Shang Qin, plus Zhang Yu and Wuqiu are here, the four of them have a deep relationship, Bai Chun must not be able to stop it. Yuan Qian continued.
"She also wanted to follow, but I persuaded her. Qu Yuehuai said again.
"Does Xue Di know about this?"
"I don't know yet. ”
"Hmm, Princess Chanyuan is very important in our matter of dealing with Old Ghost Jiang, and her safety cannot be misplaced. You two protect the princess, and I'll kill the woman. Qu Hanyan stared at Qi Ying's figure outside the room from afar, and said to Qu Yuehuai and Yuan Qian, after saying that, they had rushed out like a bolt of lightning.
Qu Hanyan had been forcibly suppressing Qi Ying's hatred before, but now that his chances of victory had greatly increased, and Chan'er also had the protection of Qu Yuehuai and Yuan Qian by his side, he no longer had any worries, and only wanted to slash Qi Ying to vent his hatred.
With the addition of Qu Hanyan, where is Qi Ying the opponent of Zhang Yu and Qu Hanyan, for a while, there is only dodge and retreat, and the situation is very embarrassing. Qi Ying wanted to use the gut breaking needle several times, but Zhang Yu cautiously blocked his movements, and he had no chance to make a move. Seeing that Qi Ying was about to bear Qu Hanyan's full palm, a figure suddenly broke through the rain curtain and appeared in front of Qi Ying, and Qu Hanyan's move was generally resolved in four or two thousand catties.
Chan'er saw this scene in the room, and her heart suddenly cooled: that person was Yuan Sanxiang, and Yuan Wuzhen and Yuan Liujie came with him. Even though Chan'er's appearance is like two people compared to seven years ago, and there is a considerable distance between Chan'er and the three of them, she still can't help but panic.
At this time, Yuan Liujie also walked to Qi Ying's side and said:
"Qi Ying girl, as soon as the sixth master received the news from you and heard that you were in danger, he not only rushed over in person, but also beckoned the third and fifth masters. How about it, the sixth master counts, right?"
"The old man is really a believer, seven years have passed since the day of his word, and it is rare that you are still willing to help. The little woman thanked the third, fifth and sixth masters in advance. Qi Ying's gaze swept over the three Yuan Liujie brothers, and said with a smile.
Everyone present, except for Nanying, except for Qi Ying, Xin Pupu, Tian Qianli and Chan'er, who had seen the Yuan brothers in the Demon Palace, the rest of the people didn't know the three of them, that is, Chu Jingxin was also on the way to the dart back then, and he didn't go to the Demon Palace with Xin Pupu to watch the enthronement ceremony of Zhan Dusk, but Yuan Sanxiang showed his skills a little, plus the "third master", "fifth master" and "sixth master" mentioned in Yuan Liujie's mouth, everyone realized the identity of the person who came in an instant.
"I heard that Yuan Sanye, Yuan Wuye, and Yuan Liuye moved back to the Night Country a year ago, but they never had the opportunity to see each other, and I didn't want Qu to have this honor today. After the initial surprise, Qu Hanyan quickly regained his composure, looked at the three of them with a smile on his face and said.
"Your surname is Qu?" Yuan Sanxiang heard Qu Hanyan's words, and his expression changed slightly.
"There are very few people in my generation who know the story of the people surnamed Qu, but the three seniors should be no strangers. ”
"I didn't expect you to be the descendant of the princess...... But you should know that from the day we rebelled against the old Lord, we could not and will not turn back. Yuan Wuzhen said while looking at Qu Hanzhen.
"So the three of them must stand on Qi Ying's side today and be hostile to Qu?"
"Third brother?" Yuan Wuzhen and Yuan Liujie looked at Yuan Sanxiang almost at the same time, waiting for him to come up with an idea.
"Our brother owes the princess so much...... Today's business is better for each of us to take a step back and leave it at that. What does Gongzi think?" Yuan Sanxiang pondered for a moment, his attitude was much more respectful, and he asked Qu Hanyan for his opinion and said.
Qi Ying watched from the side that the three members of the Yuan family had old friends with Qu Hanyan, and was worried that the three members of the Yuan family would evacuate and not help each other, so she poked the weakness of the three and said:
"Today, the little woman invited the three seniors to stay in Fenglou to talk about it, although there is a meaning of inviting the three seniors to shelter, but this is not the main purpose, in fact, the little woman wants to help the three achieve their wishes. ”
"Oh, tell me, what are our wishes, and how can you help us?" Yuan Sanxiang was really intrigued by Qi Ying's words, and asked.
"Please forgive the little woman for bluntly saying that there are two major regrets in the lives of the three seniors: one is that the ninth master died in the Demon Palace, but fortunately, the murderer has paid for his life; ”
"What do you want to say?"
"Although the people who have left the world are suffering, it is only a matter of a moment after all, and the pain in the hearts of those who remain in the world cannot be erased for a long time. Although the three of them couldn't directly use Guan Zhou's life to pay tribute to the uncle, they could use their own way to treat others and kill the people close to him. As Qi Ying spoke, a cold light flashed in her eyes.
"Guan Zhou's son Guan Shu is his old son, and he has always been a baby, even if we want to attack Guan Shu, it is difficult to have this opportunity. Yuan Liujie frowned and said.
"Sixth Master forgot, Guan Zhou has not only a precious son, but also an apprentice. ”
"You mean...... Princess Chanyuan of the Lonely Country?"
"The sixth master is right. The little woman heard that the three seniors not only had a grudge against Guan Zhou, but also had a holiday with the Helian family, no matter what angle it was, this Princess Chanyuan was a good target, wasn't it?" Qi Ying said, staring at Chan'er with a gaze that stared at her prey.
Yuan Sanxiang, Yuan Wuzhen and Yuan Liujie couldn't help but follow Qi Ying's gaze and looked at Chan'er. Seeing this, Qu Yuehuai and Yuan Qian moved a step to the middle at the same time and protected Chan'er.
"Could it be that you're talking about her?" Yuan Sanxiang glanced at Chan'er and asked Qi Ying.
"The seniors should have heard about Princess Chanyuan and the Lord of the Shibuya Valley who were engaged, right? Qu Hanyan is the Lord of the Shibuya Valley, so who is the woman next to him, you can know without saying much. ”
"This is really a way to heaven, you don't go, hell has no door, you go forward. Yuan Liujie sneered, and immediately threw Qu Hanyan's identity out of the clouds, and only hatred was left in his heart.
Nanying, who was fighting with Yan Xu, heard the words of a few people, and saw that things were getting more troublesome, so he hurriedly stopped what he was doing, appeared in a place where Yuan Sanxiang and the three of them could see, and said with a light smile to the three of them:
"The third uncle, the fifth uncle, the sixth uncle, why did the water wash the Dragon King Temple, and my own family is going to beat my own family. ”
"Nanying, why are you here?" Yuan Wuzhen was pleasantly surprised when he saw Nanying.
And Qi Ying and Chu Xue were stunned when they heard Nanying's name.
As unexpected as the two of them, there is Chan'er. He is Nanying, the second prince of the Night Kingdom, and the son of Princess Ru. He called Yuan Sanxiang the three of them the third uncle, the fifth uncle, and the sixth uncle, so he was Yuan Jiutian's apprentice...... Chan'er finally understood why she had an inexplicable debt to Nanying.
Because Nanying broke away from the battle, Yan Xu was involved in the battle between Du'an and Tian Qianli around him, Tian Qianli faced Yan Xuan and Du'an, and it was difficult for a while, Chu Jingxin and Ji Dart, who were looking at the battle between the two sides, hurriedly shot and separated Yan Xu's offensive.
At the same time, Nan Ying had already walked into the courtyard, looked at the three members of the Yuan family and dissuaded:
"Three uncles, can you look at Nanying's face and don't hurt Princess Chanyuan?"
"Nanying, although the eldest brother is not your master in name, he also has a master-apprentice relationship with you after all, and he is a teacher for one day and a father for life. And you also heard it, she is Princess Chanyuan, Guan Zhou's apprentice, how can you defend her?" Yuan Sanxiang's expression was very dissatisfied.
"Third uncle, Chanyuan...... She is the daughter of the lord of Helian. ”
"Lord Helian?"
"Well, our mother is a very good friend. And the name of the lord of Helian is Helian Ling, you should have heard of this name. ”
"Helianling, Ling'er, is she ......" Yuan Sanxiang and Yuan Wuzhen exchanged a look, and they both confirmed what they thought to each other: even if several people had never met Helianling, Helianling's name had already been thunderous to several people, and she was Yuan Jiutian's haunting sweetheart and longing for him.
"Third brother, fifth brother, don't waver. Even if she is the daughter of the county lord of Helian, she is not the daughter of the ninth brother. What's more, she is Guan Zhou's apprentice, and she is also half of his daughter, and no one can fault the father's debt and daughter's repayment. Yuan Liujie instigated on the side.
"Sixth uncle, even if we put aside the friendship between our two families, just in terms of kindness, if there was no Helian County Lord, my life would have been lost in the hands of my eldest brother's mother and son, and Chanyuan also saved me once from my eldest brother's hands, and I owe them two lives. In front of many outsiders, Nanying did not say the name of Emperor Liu, and could only call him "big brother" awkwardly.
"Okay, Nanying, the grievances between you and the princess are counted by the two of you, and you don't want to make a move, it doesn't matter. As for the accounts of our brothers and Guan Zhou, we will settle them ourselves. Yuan Liujie ignored Nanying's dissuasion, and before the words fell, the person had already rushed to the direction where Chan'er was.
Qu Yuehuai reacted quickly and took the lead in stopping Yuan Liujie's movements.
Almost at the same moment, Zhang Yu and Qi Ying fought again. Qu Hanyan also seized the opportunity, and with a flick of the thumb of his right hand on the edge of the scabbard, the long knife instantly came out of the sheath and attacked Yuan Sanxiang, but was blocked by Yuan Wuzhen. When Yuan Sanxiang bypassed Qu Hanyan and was about to rush into the room, Wei Guangqian actually pulled out of the fight with Huayi and Ah Qu and walked quickly in front of Yuan Sanxiang.
Yuan Sanxiang obviously didn't expect that there would be a master of the same level as himself here, so he hurriedly stopped his steps for a while and looked at the person in front of him. Huayi and Ah Qu chased near Wei Guangqian and Yuan Sanxiang, Yuan Sanxiang's eyes were still fixed on Wei Guangqian, but he said to Huayi and Ah Qu:
"You don't need to interfere here, just do as your master tells you to do. ”
Hearing this, Huayi and Ah Qu glanced at each other, exchanged opinions with their eyes, and then turned to Chan'er.
Yuan Qian is Helianbin's person, and he spares no effort to protect Chan'er, but he catches up with Huayi and Aqu alone, and no matter how hard Rao is trying, he will eventually lose one or the other. The three of them stalemate for a long time, Yuan Qian faced the tacit cooperation of Huayi and Ah Qu in the face of a series of tacit moves, and it was difficult to insist for a while, so Huayi took advantage of Ah Qu's brief opportunity to entangle Yuan Qian, and suddenly bowed to the ground, rushed to Chan'er's body and killed her.
When Chan'er saw the arrival of the three brothers of Yuan Sanxiang, she had already imagined the worst situation in her heart. Chan'er knew that in front of the Yuan family, her few moments were not enough to protect herself, coupled with the observation of this effort, she had seen that Huayi was the one with the highest martial arts among the several people in the "flow", even if she used her full strength, she was not his opponent, and once the fact that her "gentle township" had been solved and could still use martial arts, according to Qu Hanyan's ruthless mode of acting, he would definitely not let go of Shen Xiao, who had possessed Chan'er's body, and then not only Chan'er herself would still be in a predicament, but even Shen Xiao would be involved.
Seeing that her life was slim, Chan'er was determined not to delay Shen Xiao into the water at this moment, she silently thought in her heart, how good it would be if she could see Zhan Duxiao again, and closed her eyes in frustration while thinking about it, waiting for Huayi's fatal sword to pierce her body.
But unlike Chan'er's expectation, after a while, what came to her body as scheduled was not a cold sword, but a warm embrace.
Chan'er subconsciously opened her eyes, and the first thing she saw was a man's chest, Chan'er was familiar with the man's clothes, and a fateful encounter with him on the night of Shangyuan Festival suddenly appeared in her mind, and her heartbeat rate accelerated in an instant.
Needless to say, the man who rushed to protect Chan'er at a critical moment was Zhan Duxiao, the palace master of the Demon Palace.
"I'm sorry I'm late. Zhan Duxiao's voice sounded in Chan'er's ears, gentle and still, but her breathing seemed to be out of rhythm, and her excitement could not be concealed.
Chan'er raised her eyes and stared at Zhan Duxiao quietly, without saying a word, and Zhan Duxiao also fell silent and didn't speak again, but the two seemed to have the same heart, and even if they didn't have words, they could feel each other's strong love.
The next moment, Chan'er was awakened by the sound of fighting around her, and suddenly thought that Huayi was still on the side, so she took her eyes off Zhan Duxiao, only to find that there was another person who came with Zhan Duxiao, and was in the middle of a battle with Huayi at the moment.
"Brother Tuoba. Chan'er looked at the silhouette of the man and snorted softly, and it was difficult to hide the surprise in her voice.
"If you dare to hurt my sister, I will make you regret your mistakes. Tuoba Yabu, who has now become the prince of the Nan Kingdom, fought with Huayi and said in a deep voice.
Zhan Duxiao saw that Tuoba Yabu was at ease in the trick with Huayi, so he stayed by Chan'er's side with confidence, temporarily restrained his mind, and asked:
"You're not hurt, are you?"
"I'm fine. ”
"What's the situation now?"
"Brother Tuoba is fighting against one of the six masters of 'Liu', Huayi, the six masters are all under Qi Ying's orders, and even the three people of the Yuan family are also Qi Ying's helpers. As for Lian Shibuya's side, there are Qu Hanyan, Qu Yuehuai, Yuan Qian, Tian Qianli and Bai Chun, Zhang Yu, and Hua Wangqiu among the four killers. Xin Gongzi of Zhaoxu Dart Bureau has a new feud with Qi Ying, and he is on our side. Chan'er paused, and then said, "By the way, there is also a Mr. Wei, who is also helping us, but the situation was tense just now, and I haven't thought about it, I don't know what kind of master he is." ”
"Where's this gentleman you're talking about?"
"The one who can't hold on to Yuan Sanxiang is it. Chan'er's eyes looked in the direction of Wei Guangqian.
Zhan Duxiao looked at Chan'er's line of sight, and when she saw Wei Guangqian's face clearly, her expression instantly froze - a little unbelievable, a little clear, and a little mixed feelings, and the corners of her mouth couldn't help but float a smile.
"Twilight, do you know each other?" Chan'er said puzzled when she saw this.
"yes. But the fact that he's here is a real surprise to me. This is a long story, and I will talk to you slowly when the trouble in front of me is solved. ”
While Zhan Duxiao and Chan'er were talking, Yuan Qian and Ah Qu exchanged hands while uncontrollably coming in the direction of the two, Zhan Duxiao immediately grabbed Chan'er's body and led her to turn around and withdraw from the range that might be affected, and the bell on Chan'er's ankle then made a series of crisp sounds.
Chan'er did it deliberately, but Zhan Duxiao's heart shook for a while, he remembered the previous scene when Chan'er did not shy away from Huayi's moves, and his heart jumped wildly for no reason, and he paused for a moment before asking in a low voice:
"Chan'er, your light skills ......"
"A few days ago, something happened, and it was a long story...... I'll have a chance to tell you more, okay?"
"It's because I didn't protect you by your side. A look of pain flashed in Zhan Duxiao's eyes, as if she had guessed that Chan'er's martial arts no longer existed.
"It's me who should apologize...... Twilight, I'm sorry. Chan'er wanted to speak and stopped, thinking of the night with Shenxiao, she couldn't help lowering her eyes.
"Silly girl, what are you sorry for?" Zhan Duxiao gently held Chan'er's hand.
"Yes......" Chan'er thought in her heart, since her engagement with Qu Hanyan became known to the world, even if it was a false agreement, what could it do, everything was probably irreparable. Whether it's Shen Xiao or Twilight, they can only sigh that there is no fate.
While thinking, Chan'er turned her gaze to Qu Hanyan, looking at him with a bit of helplessness and sorrow in her eyes, and in the blink of an eye, she could be considered ethereal and clear again.
