122. A defeat

The moon and stars are scarce, and the night is thick.

At the appointed place, Su You saw Xi Yutang, wearing a silver mask and sitting straight on horseback. There was another person standing beside her, looking at the person in front of him with a cold gaze, and in the distance, he seemed to hear the two of them whispering something, and his face was not worried.

Su You saw through the night that it was Yue Qingfeng, and hesitated to know whether he should step forward, and when he was hesitating, the latter discovered him first, and then Xi Yutang also looked over. After being discovered, he had no choice but to slap forward and bow his head to the two of them in a slightly embarrassed manner.

"You're going out of town with him?" Yue Qingfeng's eyes fell sharply on Su You, and the latter's face suddenly became embarrassed, and he always felt that he looked at him as if he was catching a traitor.

Xi Yutang didn't answer, his brows furrowed slightly when his eyes fell on Su You, and then lightly hooked the corners of his lips, "Ji Zuo." ”

"Xi Yutang!" The more the breeze is quiet.

The younger the lord who can make the martial arts recognized as good-tempered so angry, Su You's eyes looking at Xi Yutang are more complicated. What was revealed in front of him, in addition to the familiar relationship between the two like rumors, there were also contradictions hidden under the rumors, but they seemed to have reached the point of tension.

Is it true that there is no future?

The other party's implied warning voice made Xi Yutang's eyes instantly cold, and he suddenly looked back at Yue Qingfeng, "I'm enough for one person." ”

"Nope." Yue Qingfeng retorted without hesitation.

Xi Yutang ignored him anymore, but glanced at Su You, and then drove away without saying a word. Su You glanced at Yue Qingfeng and found that the latter's face was already gloomy as if a storm was coming, so he sighed helplessly, and beat his horse to keep up with the people in front.

Before the gates were closed, the two went out of the city one after the other. Su You came to Xi Yutang's side and said with concern, "Are you okay?" ”

Xi Yutang glanced at him coolly, "Lead the way." ”

Su You was not at ease, "The less the Lord is worried about you......"

"Jizo." Before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted.

Although his voice was calm, Su You still felt that Xi Yutang was in a bad mood, so he had to keep silent and turn his horse's head in the direction of Maohua Town.

"Maohua Town?" Xi Yutang looked at the direction and spoke in a low voice.

"Hmm." Su You turned around, but he still couldn't help but say, "Sect Master Xi, are you ...... Does the less the Lord know about this? ”

Xi Yutang replied in a low voice, "He asked, and I said." After all, I don't know life and death, I should always ...... Say goodbye. ”

As she spoke, she raised her eyes and looked at the people around her, "Ji Zuo is angry?" ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦ No. Under the cover of the night, the roots of Su You's ears were dyed with a red glow.

Xi Yutang couldn't see the change in his expression, but continued to play the role of a Xuantian sect leader who pleases the person he likes, "Between you and me, the name 'Xi Sect Master' is divided." I don't have a word, just call me by my name. ”

Su You glanced at Xi Yutang with a complicated expression, and changed his words, "That'...... Ah Tang? ”

"Whatever you want." Anyway, it's a name, and it won't lose meat when you call it.

…… Su You felt that his expression at this time must be very exciting.

After a pause, he said, "...... Otherwise, why don't you go back and find more and more young companions? ”

Xi Yutang's tone was strange, "Three? Are you sure? ”

Su You: "......"

Yes, the rival in love is very red when he meets, how much he can't think about it, so he wants Yue Qingfeng to appear?

"But I'm afraid there will be a danger ...... going here" Su You looked worried, "Ah Tang, you shouldn't just do it, even if I don't complete the task, I will only die, if it affects you......"

"Don't be presumptuous." Xi Yutang lowered his voice gently, "Since the other party threatens your sister, it is also appropriate for this seat to go, there is no need to feel guilty, let alone worry." ”

She was confident in her own strength, and she also didn't take this conspiracy in her eyes, Su You heard the meaning of her words, her eyes flashed slightly, and her eyelashes drooped.

The two men were not in a hurry, but strolled in the moonlight, letting the horses trot forward. The wind blew on his face, bringing a hint of coolness, which seemed to blow away the haze in Xi Yutang's heart, and also made the atmosphere ambiguous.

Su You looked at Xi Yutang's side face silently. The other party's face is well-defined, the lines are smooth and graceful, even if half of his face is blocked by the mask, it still makes people sure that this person has an excellent appearance.

Such a young man is already the head of the Xuantian Sect, the number one sect in martial arts, if he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, it would be unimaginable.

He still wanted to make sure again.

"Ah Tang." Su You spoke softly, his voice fluctuating and melodious, "According to what I have just seen, the younger Lord does not seem to be as you say. Since he will be worried, prove that there is ...... between you There is still affection. ”

"Love?" Xi Yutang's voice became more and more hoarse and confusing in the night, "So what? ”

Su You pursed his lips, "...... He won't sit idly by and watch you be in danger. ”

"How?" The kiss around him was slightly cold, "It also depends on whether this seat leader appreciates it." ”

…… Don't dare to take it.

Silently hid his deeds and breath, and the less the mood was not particularly good, the less the Lord thought angrily from a distance.

When it came to this, Su You didn't say anything. Looking up at the moonlight, the two finally quickened their pace and hurried towards Maohua Town.

Behind them, Xi Yulan, who was dressed in night clothes, touched his junior brother at some point, and teasingly transmitted a voice into the secret, "How?" My family is full of charm at all times, but there is a sense of crisis? ”

Yue Qingfeng glanced at him angrily, too lazy to answer. At this time, he can still tease his senior brother, so don't do it.

……

Maohua Town is more than 40 miles away from the capital, adjacent to Jinghua Mountain, not a traffic artery, but prosperous enough. Xi Yutang and Su You stayed overnight at a post station outside the town, and then entered Maohua Town on the second day. After finding an inn to stay in, Xi Yutang asked Su You to leave.

"Ah Tang......" Su You looked worried.

Sect Leader Xi Xiao met his gaze, "Ji Zuo, go back." ”

The other party shook his head, "I can't rest assured." ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Get back. Xi Yutang ordered without refusal.

Su You insisted on not moving.

"Let's go." Sect Leader Xi looked at him calmly, "I have already arranged it for the third prince, and I will be able to see your sister when I go back." ”

At the mention of his sister, Su You was shaken for a moment. As if to see the persistence in her eyes, he looked at her guiltily for a long time, and finally took two steps forward, as if to give her a goodbye hug.

Xi Yutang stopped his movements.

"Wait until I return to Beijing." She chuckled, "I don't like to part like this." ”

The body stiffened, Su You silently withdrew his hand, looked at her deeply, and turned to leave the inn.

For the next whole day, Xi Yutang sat in the room, and food and water were also sent by someone, while Xi Yulan and Yue Qingfeng cautiously did not show up, and they did not know where to hide.

This is the whole day, until nightfall, when the person to be waited for.

Xi Yutang didn't want to kill in the inn, and the people who came didn't seem to want to alarm others, so the battlefield was moved outside the town. The person who came was very good, much taller than the elders of Tingyu Pavilion, but he was still not Xi Yutang's opponent, and soon added a few scars, and fought and retreated, and the two chased after each other, and came to a dilapidated land temple.

knew that it was a strategy to lure the enemy in, but Xi Yutang still followed him all the way, precisely because the other party was not the person she really had to wait for.

Chased half a step to the broken temple, and under the cover of night, the figure of the man in black had quietly disappeared. Xi Yutang stood still in front of the steps, carefully measuring the surroundings with his eyes, but found that the nameless land temple was empty, and even the breath of Yue Qingfeng and Xi Yulan was not checked.

Under the vast cool moon, the wind suddenly rose, and suddenly became gloomy.

Broken temple......

It's really a good place to kill people.

Standing in front of the steps, Xi Yutang slowly put away his sword and stood up, one hand on the hilt of the sword at will, looking around the Sihe, it seemed to be standing lazy, but in fact there was no flaw. The wind rustled the branches, blowing the long hair and hem of her head, the ink-colored robe was like a canopy above her head, and the dark clouds covered the moon, the pair of ancient well-like eyes were gently closed, and the picture of the last time she fought with the old monster in the underground dormitory of the East Palace kept flashing in her mind.

Cold pool, roar, palm wind, sword intent...... The memory poured back as if it happened yesterday.

The wind is uncertain, and people are quiet.

The people in front of the broken temple quietly melted into the darkness at this moment.

From the moment she left the customs, she has never relaxed for a moment, practicing meditation diligently every day, and she has kneaded the Taichu Chu method into her bones. As the only person in this world who had practiced this skill, she couldn't have known the power of this magic skill and its endless consequences.

The Taichu Chu method was quietly running in her body, and Xi Yutang suddenly regretted agreeing to the two brothers to go together.

…… The things of the world are always fair.

There are gains and losses, and when you gain great power, you always lose something.

Like what......

"Zhengβ€”"

The frost moon appeared, the cold light broke the shadow, and the Nine Shadows Sword suddenly came out of the sword mark in a moment, and the sharp tip of the sword did not hit the tip of the sword of the comer.

The tip of the needle is on the wheat mang, and it is divided at the touch of a button.

Then, several black shadows jumped out from all directions, rushing into a siege and killing momentum, and Xi Yutang also suddenly opened his eyes at this moment, his dark eyes were burning with a strong fighting intent, and the long sword was held in the palm of his right hand, sweeping across the Eight Desolate Lands to block all attacks!

Shura Field.

Twenty men in black, each of whom is a master of the masters, they cooperate tacitly, make killing moves, and put life and death aside, obviously a group of well-trained dead soldiers. Xi Yutang faced them, and the first battle was quite strong, and the Changyin Sword under the Taichu Chu method was full of power, which was the proud skill of the top killer in the Listening Rain Pavilion, coupled with Xi Yutang's strong internal force as the support, it didn't take long for the battlefield to gradually become a one-sided slaughter.

As the first person fell, the tacit understanding was broken, and the cooperation lost its effectiveness, Xi Yutang became more and more comfortable killing these killers, saying that he couldn't cut melons and vegetables, but there was no pressure. She was a little disappointed, because Zhuo Zhengyang obviously underestimated her, hiding behind the scenes, but sending these dead soldiers to fight the outpost...... Even if she was weak three years ago, the killer she sent should have the level of the person who lured her out of the inn, otherwise wouldn't it be a food delivery?

The more I thought about it, the more unhappy I felt in my heart, and the movements became more and more aggressive, and in less than a stick of incense, the whole ruined temple was calm again.

However, this time it was not as lonely as before, his ears and eyes were as clear as Xi Yutang, and soon he faintly heard the sound of sword collision, and there was another battlefield not far away.

- Who else could it be?

Of course, Yue Qingfeng and Xi Yulan!

As soon as his heart tightened, Xi Yutang raised his sword and was about to rush over to find out, but before he could take two steps, his pupils suddenly shrank, almost reflexively, Jiuyou turned around his wrist, she was suddenly short, and then stabbed back!

There was a overlapping sound of brushing the ground, and both sides dodged the deadly attack at the same time. Xi Yutang made a mistake on his toes, Ling Yun stepped out, and the whole person broke through common sense and moved sideways, turned around, and exchanged hands with the visitor again.

The other party was dressed in a gray robe, with gray hair, masked with a black cloth, holding two long knives, the knife was like autumn frost, and the iron was like mud.

What a majestic internal force!!

This kung fu has not been more than 40 years!

Xi Yutang realized that he had finally met his opponent, and his irritable mood suddenly fell silent at this moment, and then, a trembling feeling snaked up every inch of her skin, and she was so excited that she rushed straight to the heavenly spirit cover, and the battle intent was completely ignited at this moment!

Who is the other party?

Unimportant!

The important thing is that one of them will die today!

The two of them parted at the touch of a button, and then rushed forward at the same time again. The clash between the knife and the sword had a result in the first round, Xi Yutang had nine shadows, the opponent had two knives, the east wind could not overwhelm the west wind, and the west wind also cut the east wind, and the weapons were evenly divided, only the naked collision of internal force, moves, and experience.

The other party's tricks are wide open and closed, and there is no trace of the shadow of an outlaw at all, every move and style seems to contain the ultimate martial arts mystery, and the double knives seem to be endowed with a higher level of meaning in his hands, such as the arm and the fingers, the gust of horses and the wind, the movements are clean and neat, obviously killing, but at a certain moment, Xi Yutang is like being in the huge martial arts training field of Luoyang Wushan, and the ears almost sounded the shouts of the disciples who were black and pressed in the field when they practiced martial arts.

She had never met such an opponent in the past twenty years!

Xi Yutang was almost brought into the opponent's battle rhythm, his brain was extremely calm at this moment, and under the full operation of the Taichu Chu Method, Jiuyou was silently changed to her left hand, and at the same time, all the martial arts accumulation in the past decades exploded at this moment.

Stab! Choose! Scratch! Dial! Chop!

The avenue is simple, the big trick is not work, there is no tricky sword move, there is no clever footwork, there is no false figure, there is no step-by-step calculation, some are just real swords and real sword competitions, it is a duel at the peak of martial arts!

If there are outsiders present to watch the battle, I am afraid that they will be shocked by such a duel of the world's top masters, every move and style can be followed, it seems simple and ingenious, but if you enter the realm, you feel that there is no move, and there is no style.

In such a battle, the moves are already small and external, and the fight of internal forces is the real battlefield.

It is said that the world's martial arts are only fast and unbreakable, but Xi Yutang has been fighting with the man in gray so far, and the time seems to be infinitely extended, obviously feeling that a long time has passed, but he knows in his heart that this is only a few dozen moves.

Within a hundred styles, the two had already figured out each other's strength.

Naturally, the identity of the man in gray was also revealed.

Ouyang Xuan!

Xi Yutang never knew that the real strength of this former martial arts alliance leader who had been in office for several years was so amazing. What picks up the leakage of the breeze, what martial arts are mediocre and can step into the ranks of masters, are all illusions, Ouyang Xuan, who really moved the real character, is so strong that it is terrifying!

She knew a long time ago that a battle between herself and the Ouyang Alliance Master was inevitable, but she shouldn't have it, why did he choose to do it at this time?

Why is it him and not Zhuo Zhengyang?

The chaotic thoughts hit Xi Yutang's heart the moment she recognized the identity of the other party, although it was only a moment, I was afraid that she would not even breathe, but it still messed up her pace.

How important is the unity of mind in a master duel? However, one carelessness made the opponent catch the flaw. I saw that Ouyang Xuan's offensive was suddenly violent, overwhelming the sky like a torrential rain, and when she was distracted, she suddenly tore the gap, and suppressed it in her momentum!

The strength of the double knives increased suddenly, Xi Yutang's left hand holding the sword was instantly shattered and bloody, she hurriedly returned to her senses, but fell into a situation of exhaustion, the footwork under her feet changed again and again, counterattacking for defense, retreating, and retreating in the blink of an eye before the steps of the broken temple.

Suddenly kicked on the steps, the green bricks cracked and splashed under his feet, Xi Yutang froze his body, his eyes narrowed, he shouted, and the horizontal sword was on the top, and he held the opponent's powerful double knives to death.

The tyrannical true qi of the beginning suddenly exploded in the meridians at this moment, I saw that her robe was blowing without wind, her ink hair was flying, all her internal forces were concentrated in the body of the Nine Shadows Sword, and the green tendons on the back of her hands burst out, only to hear a loud bang, and the moment the dilapidated wooden door collapsed behind her, Ouyang Xuan's whole person was shaken out!

After a few steps back and froze, Ouyang Xuan's internal organs were injured, blood overflowed from the corners of his mouth, and a look of surprise appeared in his eyes.

Unbelievable!

He was forced to retreat here by a junior who had only studied martial arts for ten years!

At this moment, a loud and sharp shout sounded from afar, like the shrill hiss of some kind of big bird, and like an agreed signal, which instantly attracted everyone's attention.

Ouyang Xuan's attack, which was already poised to attack, suddenly froze, and under Xi Yutang's sluggish gaze, he glanced in the direction of the capital from afar, and then, the momentum around his body was completely retracted, and his double knives slowly hung down.

He, unexpectedly, gave up......

At the same time, almost at the moment when the loud hiss disappeared, the distant sound of fighting quickly died down.

"Did you get it?" Ouyang Xuan's voice sounded in a low voice, and he turned to Xi Yutang on the steps with a touch of regret, "It's a pity that I couldn't kill you." ”

Xi Yutang's pupils shrank suddenly, only to feel a white light burst out of her mind, shocking her whole person in place. Then, she quickly came back to her senses, her mind was clearer than ever, her eyes were nailed to the gray-robed man, and a murderous aura as thick as blood permeated the entire front steps of the ruined temple at this moment.

"Ouyang Xuanβ€”"

Her voice was as cold as the 10,000-year-old ice of the snow-capped mountains, and her extreme anger rushed to the top of the Heavenly Spirit Gai in an instant!

Thinking of this whole game, the blood in Xi Yutang's whole body was extremely cold at this moment.

"How dare you!!"

Why is it Ouyang Xuan but not Zhuo Zhengyang?! Why did you take the trouble to trick her out of the capital and come to this ruined temple on the outskirts of Beijing?!

The Three Princes......

Su You......

Those dead killers......

Their ultimate goal is not to ...... themselves

Fear.

She felt fear.

Some kind of great possibility speculation swept through the whole body, and Xi Yutang's whole person trembled uncontrollably. She glared angrily at the person in front of her, as if she wanted to see through the other person's calm eyes. However, it is a pity that Ouyang Xuan did not give her this opportunity.

Almost at the moment when she pounced, the other party flew backwards like a big peng spreading its wings, connecting the dots on his toes, and the whole person towered high, and then landed lightly on the hundred-year-old ginkgo.

"That's it for today." He said lightly, "If you want Shen Qi to live, you can prepare the Taichu Completion Book, take the head of your Xi family, and wait for the Venerable to summon you." ”

Hearing the same truth as his guess, Xi Yutang only felt that his eyes were black, his throat was suddenly sweet, and he was so angry that he vomited out a mouthful of blood.

What is the whip that is beyond the reach of the whip, today, Ziwei Lou taught her a lesson.

"Turning the Tiger ...... Away from the Mountain"

She muttered, her lips and teeth opening and closing, and another mouthful of blood gushed out.

"You guessed right." Ouyang Xuan looked at her indifferently and pityingly, "Venerable went to the capital in person. ”

After fighting for many years, this is the first time he has seen Xi Yutang fall into such a defeated situation, Ouyang Xuan shook his head and said coolly, "Xi Yutang, you are too suspicious, but you are smart and mistaken by cleverness." If you don't make a plan for yourself, but stay in the capital obediently......"

"Su You is one of yours?" Xi Yutang raised his head.

"That's right."

Another familiar voice sounded from behind the ginkgo tree, and then, Su You, who was dressed in a white shirt, fell in front of her, not close or far, but it could be attacked and defended.

At the same time, Yue Qingfeng and Xi Yulan finally arrived in a hurry. Both were wounded, apparently after a hard fight. Behind them, countless black-clothed dead men chased after them, and when they saw Su You, they all stopped attacking and stood behind him respectfully.

"When the signal sounds, it proves that Master has left the capital a hundred miles away." Su You looked at the person in front of him with complicated eyes, "Ah Tang, I'm sorry, I have to trick you, Yue Qingfeng, and Jing Pavilion Master out of the capital at the same time." ”

From the very beginning, he didn't want to follow the instructions of the third prince to "trick" her out of Beijing, but chose to tell the truth and put the conspiracy naked in front of her.

Xi Yutang is suspicious by nature, as long as the third prince says the words "Xi Yutang will die", and she thinks about it even a little more deeply, she will know that the game waiting for her must be the biggest game that Ziwei Lou can put forward if he wants to take her life.

What is the biggest round? It is nothing more than Zhuo Zhengyang personally waiting for the rabbit.

The Xuantian Sect Master has always been a smart person, she is confident but not conceited, even if she wants to go to the game in person, she will not refuse the help of others. Who can give Xi Yutang the greatest support? Only her brother and Yue Qingfeng.

These two will never watch her alone, and will personally protect her.

So they will go out of Beijing en masse.

As long as these three people are not there, it will be easy to take down Shen Qi.

The target of their Ziwei Building this time has never been the Xi family, but a shot to kill Shen Shen.

And in the middle of this, what he Su You has to do is to use their suspicions and worries to the extreme, so as to achieve his own goals in turn. So from the beginning of leaving the city gate, all the words he said, such as "looking for the help of the young lord Yue", were to confirm whether Xi Yulan and Yue Qingfeng had left Beijing with them.

There is no love between Xi Yue?

How can it be.

Even if it is true as Xi Yutang said, they have no future, and love is not something that will be absent if there is no one. Su You didn't believe that Yue Qingfeng could see Xi Yutang die.

It's a very stupid thing to drive a wedge between them. He didn't have to achieve his goal, he just had to expose himself right under their noses. Only by attracting attention can we attract attention and then punish the heart.

As for his sister who was trapped in the Three Princes' Mansion......

And how? He didn't care.

"Ah Tang." Su You's voice was still as gentle as water, "I'm different from my stupid senior brother, today's game should be a new acquaintance between you and me." ”

"In Xia Suyou, the word Ji Zuo." The young man in white said lightly, "Zhuo Zhengyang's disciple, the current owner of Ziwei Building. ”

Suddenly learning his true identity, Xi Yutang was slightly stunned. Breaking free from Yue Qingfeng's arm supporting her, he straightened his waist and said firmly, "Let Shen Qi go, this seat can give you Taichu now, and if you want to take my head on Xi Yutang, even if you want to take it, you will never resist." ”

"Nope." Su You shook his head calmly, "Today's business is over, let's go." ”

As soon as the words fell, the dark red sword light of the Nine Shadows Sword suddenly flashed, and in the next second, Su You drew his sword to block her attack, "Ah Tang, if you kill me, you will never know where Shen Qi is." I don't want the Taichu Chu method, Shen Qi's life, you either? ”

Xi Yutang's eyes widened suddenly.

A sword pushed her away, and the young man gathered his sword and stood, "I can assure you that until you meet Shen Qi, I will protect his life." ”

"I'll kill you first!" Xi Yutang couldn't listen to any of his words at all.

Xi Yulan quickly hugged her waist.

It was Su You who personally led people to stop them, this person's martial arts were at the peak, not inferior to him and his junior brother, the siege of hundreds of dead soldiers also made them useless, plus a Ouyang Xuan, they were indeed defeated in this game.

Listening to the fact that Yuge, the Yue family and Xuantian have not many forces in the capital, and the other party is prepared, this time they have a tough encounter with Ziwei Lou, losing more and winning less, and the crowd tactics are slightly better after all.

Xi Yutang struggled hard, "Let go of me!" Let me kill them! Put! Open! ”

- With a bang, her true qi suddenly exploded, and Xi Yulan was instantly shocked open arms.

However, in the next second, Yue Qingfeng suddenly made a lightning shot, slashing the person with a huge coercion, and then lightly caught the body of his sweetheart who suddenly softened.

He raised his cold eyes and spoke the only word of the night.

"The gift of Lord Su Lou today, Yue Mou will be returned in the future."

Su You smiled indifferently, "The ratio of the ring is not what I want, and today is not counted, and in the future, Su will personally ask the young master for advice." ”

He glanced at Xi Yutang in the arms of the person opposite him meaningfully, as if he was reluctant and apologetic, but in the end he still closed his eyes and turned around.

"Withdraw!"
