75. Duel
The May night was slightly cool, and the surroundings were silent, except for the rustle of the treetops as they swayed in the wind. Invited to the stage, the two confronted each other silently.
Ye Xuan looked at Yan Xu, he was dressed in a royal blue wide-sleeved deep coat, with a purple gold and jade crown on his head, almost blending with the dark night under the dissolving moonlight. He stood in the shadows, she couldn't see his face clearly, but in the blink of an eye, she knew he was watching her, too. Her heart trembled slightly.
An Yi was still holding her hand, her hand trembled imperceptibly in his palm, and he couldn't help but increase his strength.
After a long time, Yan Xu spoke: "Do you think you can walk out of this palace with her?" I don't know how confident you are, but I can give you a chance, you and I have a competition, with your own ability, if you can get here, I will open the four gates of Yicheng to let you go. ”
An Yi didn't speak, his lone wolf-like eyes stared at Yan Xu tightly, as if he was considering. Suddenly, he smiled, "Fight? Cheng, I've been waiting for this day for a long time. He glanced at the three people who were staring at Yan Xu behind him, and said, "But I can't trust you, if you want to compete, go to the top." ”
As soon as he said that, he hugged Ye Xuan's slender waist, his body was pulled up flat, and his toes rubbed on the eaves of each floor of the tower, and he took the lead in reaching the top of the tower after a few ups and downs. At the top of the tower is a circular platform, with white jade paved floor tiles, and the moonlight falls, with a faint flow of waves.
Yan Xu followed, as light as a swallow, as if stepping on the water waves at will, and landed lightly at the other end of the invitation to Sendai, the royal blue robe was carried up by the wind, hunting and flying, at a glance, like a god descending from the sky.
He looked at An Yi coldly, and his eyes finally fell on the hands that he and Ye Xuan were tightly clasped on, and a cold glow burst out of his eyes, "I'll say it again, let her go." ”
An Yi smiled when he heard this, and really let go of her hand, anyway, he was going to fight, he couldn't keep holding her, he motioned for her to stand aside, reached out and tore off the Xuanyan suit on her body, revealing the night clothes that were tightly attached inside, and the slender figure with clear texture was undoubtedly revealed.
With a joke on his face, he said casually: "Ye Zi, there are not many people in this world who covet the blood of your Fuxi descendants, and the one standing opposite looks like a dog, full of intrigue and intrigues, and acts the most despicable and shameless, and all the sins you have suffered in the past three years are caused by him." Last time in Yucheng, he escaped a catastrophe, and his fate was great, but tonight ...... You watch with your eyes wide open and see how I can avenge you. ”
When Yan Xu heard this, she didn't have any anger, looked at Ye Xuan and said, "Xuan'er, it's me who is not good, I came late, and I made you suffer." He was silent, then turned to comfort again, with the same banter on his face, "Probably you don't know yet, I promised her, I have given up the ten strategies." This was originally a matter between me and Xuan'er, and I didn't need to let you know, but I thought, you used to be in the same door, or did you speak to the ward, so that you could understand before you died. ”
An Yi's face changed suddenly, the fist holding the sword was clenched tightly, the joints were visible, and he snorted coldly, "It's so nice to say, give up the ten strategies, do you think I will believe you?" ”
Yan Xu smiled, calm and relaxed, "Do you believe it or not, what does it have to do with me?" ”
He said and looked at Ye Xuan, as if to say that as long as she believed it, it would be fine. An Yi's thin lips pursed, and he also turned his head to look at Ye Xuan, with anger burning in his eyes.
Ye Xuan met Yan Xu's gaze and slowly spoke, "I believe it." ”
These two gentle words, like feathers gliding across the water, made Yan Xu's heart shake suddenly. Although he had already made up his mind and confessed to her after being reborn, she had never responded to him all along, he had always thought that it would be at least the day of extreme yin before she would really understand what he was thinking, and he said that, but in order to provoke An Yi, he didn't expect her to say that she believed him in front of An Yi.
A stream of heat instantly flowed through his heart and spread to all his limbs.
And An Yi was the opposite, he looked at Ye Xuan angrily, eager to open her stomach to see if there was a heart and liver in it. When he was angry, he suddenly heard Ye Xuan say, "But I hope you can let him go." ”
An Yi sneaked into the palace to save herself, so no matter what, she hoped that An Yi could get out of the way.
At this moment, Yan Xu and An Yi were stunned.
Yan Xu suddenly had some mixed feelings in his heart, he remembered very well that in the previous life, in order to save Anyi, she had used her life to blackmail him, and that time, he couldn't wait to pierce the two of them through a hole with an arrow. Unexpectedly, in this life, the three of them still inevitably encountered this similar scene, the difference is that she no longer forced her life, but used the word "hope" to ask him. Is it because she began to trust him?
He was pleased with the change in her attitude, but he was very unwilling to let him let go of comfort like this.
An Yi's heart was also complicated at this time, although he secretly liked her to defend him, but the arrogance in his bones couldn't bear to beg for mercy with a weak attitude. What's more, between him and Yan Xu, in addition to Ye Xuan, there is also an unquenchable deep hatred - the death of Prince Wei. He originally only wanted to save Ye Zi tonight, but since the enemy had met on a narrow road, it was impossible for him to back down at this time.
He snapped, "Don't ask him!" Don't you know who he is? The insidious and shameless villain, you still believe his nonsense! He pointed at Yan Xu with his sword, his sword eyebrows raised slightly, "Yan Xu, you listen to me, this Yeling Sword in my hand tonight will definitely pierce your throat with the sword, and cut off your head to worship in front of the tomb of Prince Wei, so as to comfort his spirit in the sky." ”
As soon as the words fell, he had already jumped up and stabbed Yan Xu with his sword. Yan Xu's eyes sank, he didn't want to let go of comfort at all, it couldn't be better for him to take the initiative.
He sneered, his body stood still, and when the sword was stabbed in front of him, he turned slightly to the side, and slapped his bare hand at An Yi's sword-holding hand. Yan Xu's Northern Secret has been practiced to the ninth level, and there is a thunderous momentum between his palms, and the cold energy is like ice and snow sweeping away, inviting the cold air on Sendai for a moment.
An Yi has been practicing martial arts with Yan Nu since he was a child, and after going to the barren mountain, he followed Du Yi to study hard for several years, in order to save Ye Xuan, the three years of lurking in the Ming Yan Division were even more like washing the scriptures, and he had already tempered a body of iron bones with the same skin. The sword in his hand was two inches wider than the usual sword, and it was a gift from the Prince of Wei on his eighteenth birthday. In the past, in order to hide his identity, he never dared to show the sword, but after escaping from Yicheng last time, Yan Nu returned the sword to him to remind him of the unbearable shame.
The Yeling Sword buzzed and groaned in An Yi's hand, and the sword aura was fierce and fearless. In an instant, the two figures continued to stagger on the invitation platform, bringing a burst of cold air, and in the blink of an eye, the two of them passed dozens of moves, and no one could help anyone for a while.
Yan Xu's eyes became more and more murderous, and he waved a palm to force An Yi back a few steps, and took advantage of this gap to slowly untie the silver silk soft whip tied to his waist. No one has ever known that the weapon he is best at is actually the soft whip, and the one who can force him to use the soft whip is the first one.
As soon as Ye Xuan saw Yan Xu pull out the soft whip, her heart suddenly became anxious, she knew what it meant for him to use the soft whip at this time. Although she was in a hurry, she couldn't do anything, and she just watched the two of them do everything they could.
The movement on the side of Sendai has already alarmed the crowd of people who are feasting and drinking at Showa Palace. Tong Mo was shocked and angry when he heard that An Yi actually broke into the underground palace and took Yueji away, and immediately led a group of Ming Yan envoys to take up a formation under the invitation to Sendai.
King Rui had already entered the new house, and after hearing the report from his subordinates, he didn't care about the beauty on his side, so he hurried to invite Sendai. When the next person reported it, in order to prevent Ye Xuan from being exposed as a foreigner, King Rui's people only called her Yueji, Hua Yuan heard it very clearly on the side, and gloated in her heart, saying in her heart that woman must not die so easily, she wished that the traitor of the Ming Yan Division would save the woman, in that case, the arrogant prince of Rui Wang would not know how heartbroken.
When King Rui arrived, he saw the high invitation to the Sendai, the clothes were flying, and the two figures were as fast as ghosts, and they couldn't see clearly. Yan Xu and An Yi were fighting, and the alien woman stood on the side of the high platform. And the Yunwei and Mingyan envoys in the audience, although they surrounded Xiantai tightly, they were helpless. He looked at it for a while, and said angrily: "How long will you fight with such a fight?" Come on, release the arrows, and shoot Tsukihime down for me! It doesn't matter if you get hurt, as long as you don't die. ”
Tong Mo hesitated for a moment and persuaded: "Lord Wang, I hurt Yueji, I'm afraid that the prince will be distracted." ”
King Rui gritted his teeth and said, "If the rebel can't even stand this little blow, what's the use?" "The Fuxi gossip is gone, no matter what, the alien must be saved, "Release the arrow!" ”
Tong Mo was waiting to receive his order, and suddenly a shout came from behind him, "Don't let go of arrows!" ”
Everyone was taken aback, and when they turned around, the person who spoke was Yan Min.
It turned out that after Fang Caiyuan heard about that, after thinking about it, she thought that Yan Min and Yueji had a good relationship, and that Ming Yansi traitor used to be the person he valued, and now she hated Yan Xu very much, and she only wanted to make trouble for him, so she secretly sent a small internal rumor to tell Yan Min what she heard. Yan Min couldn't sit still when he heard this, and when he hurried to invite Sendai, he happened to hear that King Rui was going to shoot people with arrows, so he immediately stopped.
Although King Rui hated him for many things in his heart, because he was the emperor, he couldn't afford not to give him any face.
"Your Majesty, the person above is a traitor of the Ming Yan Division, and he wants to elope with the dancing girl in the house, as long as he hurts the dancing girl, the traitor will definitely be arrested. The dragon body is expensive, and you can't get into danger, so please move. ”
Yan Min had already seen the people on the Xiantai, and sure enough, it was Xiyue and Zishuo, and he hurriedly said: "King Rui doesn't know, Zishuo and Yueji have already had a marriage contract, and Jinyun really shouldn't snatch love with a knife." ”
He didn't bother to say more, and took a few steps forward and shouted at Invite Sendai: "Zishuo, Xiyue, don't be afraid, I will make decisions for you...... Come down quickly......"
King Rui was so angry that he couldn't cover his mouth, Tong Mo, Yun Wei and the others looked at each other.
Seeing that the people above didn't react, Yan Min moved a few steps to the side, and shouted above with his mouth closed: "Zishuo, I know that you have a hard time betraying the Mingyan Division, you come down first, and I will make the decision for you." ”
He looked upward, staggered under his feet, and an elderly chamberlain stepped forward to hold him up, "Your Majesty, be careful." ”
Yan Min waved his hand impatiently, and was about to shout again, but suddenly found that he couldn't move, the chamberlain didn't know when he was standing behind him, his thin arm tightly wrapped around his neck, and the old hoarse voice sounded in his ears, "Your Majesty, I'm offended." ”
