There are rules for going to a banquet, and when visiting the mansion of a celestial master-level figure like Liu Xianjun in Tongguan City, at least you should not carry any blades and sharp weapons on your face.

Before Shen Huan went out, Bai Yin was doing embroidery work to pass the time. She looked at it for a while, and while Bai Yin was not paying attention, she took three embroidery needles from the sewing kit and pinned them to the cuff of her right middle shirt.

There are no more weapons, just use them.

The place where Liu Xianjun lived used to be the residence of a wealthy family in the city. It is said that the merchant admired his supernatural powers, voluntarily gave up his house for him to live in, and then moved out with his family, not only did he not care at all, but he was honored to live in the house.

The northern house is transparent and open, and there are not as many winding paths as the Jiangnan garden, and the meandering water flows. However, the study is still interesting, there is a patio in the courtyard, and a circle of plantains is planted around the courtyard wall. Outside the wall, there is a large willow tree, with lush branches and leaves, willow silk brushes across the courtyard wall, and there are unknown birds hiding in the depths of the leaves and chirping.

There are gossip diagrams in the room, as well as compass charms and other things, Liu Xianjun is wearing a crimson robe, and he has a smile when he comes out.

Before entering the house, the guards in the house stepped forward to search their bodies. Liu Xianjun was slightly embarrassed, and said with a big smile, "Shen Ye is a distinguished guest, so he doesn't need to be like this, but they were specially given to the old man by the King of Heaven." On weekdays, I am used to being cautious, and I always have to do a routine thing regardless of who comes. Last time, even General Chen's lieutenant was offended, and the old man couldn't do anything about them, after all, it was the kindness of the King of Heaven, and he asked Shen Ye to take care of it. ”

Shen Huan said with a smile, stretched his arms, and let the guards toss back and forth for a while. When the guard saw that he couldn't find anything suspicious, he waved his hand to let her in.

The door was open, and the two sat under the window and drank tea. Liu Xianjun's skill in ordering tea is good, and the tea soup looks moderately thick.

Shen Huan took a sip and praised it with a smile. Turning his head, he saw that the pattern of the window leaking beside him was delicate and rich, and it was engraved with a Taoist allusion, and the doe broke her intestines.

"Xianjun's study is really chic, and even the window leakage is different from the traditional people in the north."

Liu Xianjun touched his smooth chin, not without pride, "Shen Ye has good eyesight, and this is exactly what the old man specially ordered someone to change, imitating the fashionable style of Suzhou and Hangzhou." If you want to say the word elegant, it really has to be that they are good at it in the south. Shen Ye is home all over the world, I don't know if he has ever been to the prosperous place in the south of the Yangtze River? ”

Shen Huan's father was the chief soldier of the Zhejiang Naval Division, stationed in eastern Zhejiang. However, at that time, she was only a three-year-old girl, and she didn't go out when she was idle, so that today, she has a vague impression of Jiangnan scenery.

"When I was a child, I went with my family, but I don't remember it clearly. It is not as good as Xianjun, Bogu is through the present, the north and south of the river, and the footprints are all over the place. ”

Liu Xianjun shook his hand and smiled humbly, "Otherwise, it is common for cultivators to eat fast and change their fate, and to go to more places." However, everywhere you go, you must always pay attention to the feng shui landform there, which is also an old habit accumulated over the years. Like Jinling, after thousands of years, the ancient capital of several dynasties, unfortunately, the times have changed, and the kings of Jinling City are now exhausted, and they are all defeated on the Qinhuai River dyed with rouge and gouache. ”

He said and laughed, "Look at me, the three sentences always stay in the bank, Shen Ye is not strange." The old man also felt that a good imperial city had fallen, and it can be seen that if the yin energy is too strong, the yang energy will be lost. This woman ......"

He suddenly raised his eyes and glanced at Shen Huan with a smile, "Women are not good after all, Shen Ye is a chivalrous man, and women must be forbidden on weekdays." ”

Shen Huan nodded, and suddenly smiled, "I didn't expect that Xianjun had a lot of complaints about women." However, according to Shen, women may not be useless. For example, the thirty girls brought back by General Chen last time are now raised in the city, praying for the blessing of the king day and night. Isn't such a brilliant proposition also from the genius of the Immortal Monarch? ”

She stared at Liu Xianjun, his eyes narrowed slightly, revealing a flash of surprise, and hesitation.

She took the opportunity to continue, "Xianjun is a member of the Dao Sect, and I heard earlier that Taoists practice many spells, and one of them specializes in the art of reconciling yin and yang. I think it's also in line with natural principles, which shows that Taoism does not reject women entirely. ”

Liu Xianjun didn't expect her to speak so aggressively, she was a little stunned, and she still smiled for a while, "It makes sense, Shen Ye knows a lot about the Daomen, and it seems that the old man is too narrow-minded." ”

The two smiled at each other, and the atmosphere became relaxed. That good tea is just like alcohol, and after two cups, Liu Xianjun has already changed her title.

"Brother Shen mentioned the method of cultivation, and I do have some experience recently. A few days ago, I just practiced a peach blossom fairy brew, and today I have to take it out and share it with you. Please be sure to appreciate the light and evaluate the taste. ”

Shen Huan said happily, smiling secretly in his heart, today's highlight is finally here, and let's see what tricks he has.

Liu Xianjun's peach blossom brew has a mellow texture and an attractive smell. Presented in two cups, and then, as if on purpose, he picked up a few drops from his own cup with his carefully cultivated little fingernails and took them into his mouth. After tasting it, his eyes were quiet, looking at Shen Huan but smiling silently.

Shen Huansu sex/Aijie, looking at this scene, I felt a little disgusting. Lowering his eyes and digesting himself, Yu Guang saw him pick up another wine cup and push it in front of him.

She pretended to lower her eyebrows and ponder, but in fact, her eyes were firmly fixed on Liu Xianjun's hand. So I could see it clearly, Liu Xianjun's one-inch-long little finger nail was facing the wine cup and slid lightly.

His movements were so fast that in an instant his fingers were gone. However, Shen Huan's eyesight was as good as her ear - she had gathered a swarm of fireflies in the dark night with the palm wind, counting them one by one, until she had the same answer dozens of times. So Liu Xianjun fell the colorless powder mist in her nails into the wine cup under her nose, and she didn't escape her attention at all.

If you're faster than anyone else, let's try it. When she raised the lamp, she covered it with her big sleeves and spilled the wine in the glass out of the window like a thunderbolt. Then he coughed loudly to disguise the sound of the wine falling on the flowers and leaves.

"I'm sorry, I'm in a hurry. It's all for Xianjun's peach blossom brewing tastes too good, and the younger brother is out of shape. ”

Liu Xianjun shook his head and smiled, disapproving, "If my brother likes it, you might as well drink a few more cups, there is nothing commendable in the cold house, and it is just a matter of using this thing to talk about your heart, in order to congratulate you on your great achievements for the Heavenly King." Earlier, you went alone to the enemy camp and took the life of the king as if you were a bag. The king of heaven can get the help of his brother, which is really like a tiger's wings. ”

Shen Huan was idle and elegant, and shook his head again and again, "Xianjun praised it falsely, which really embarrassed Shen." Actually, I'm just killing people, and I'm just fast enough. ”

"Brother Shen has an outstanding demeanor, and this quick word is enough to look at the world." Liu Xianjun was quite interested, and asked with a smile, "I wonder if you can show your skills to open the old man's eyes?" ”

He said, his eyes watching her.

Shen Huan sneered in her heart, she knew that he was also waiting, waiting for the moment when she was poisoned.

Both got up, and Shen Huan and Liu Xianjun stepped out of the study. She walked to the base of the wall, where a few sparrows were perched in the willow treetops.

The fingers hidden in her sleeves pinched the embroidery needle, and she looked back and smiled at Liu Xianjun. Suddenly raising her head to look at one of the sparrows, Liu Xianjun stared at her closely, and at this moment, she couldn't help but follow her gaze and raise her face.

She aimed at the sparrow at this time, and without raising her hand, she shot the embroidery needle with pure fingertip force. The sound of the fine needle breaking through the wind was inaudible, and Liu Xianjun didn't have time to see anything clearly, when he saw the sparrow's body shake and fall straight to the ground.

He hurriedly approached, carefully inspecting back and forth, but he couldn't find a single scar on the sparrow's body.

Liu Xianjun wouldn't know that Shen Huan used an embroidery needle. If the force is well controlled, it is enough to submerge all the needles into the belly of the sparrow.

He turned around and met Shen Huan's gaze, and she finally saw a hint of horror on his face.

His face gradually turned a little pale, and he chuckled, "Master, master, it's really powerful." ”

She smiled lightly and asked him to go back to the study, and before she stepped into the threshold, she suddenly closed the door with her backhand.

He turned his head puzzled, his eyes solemn, "What do you have to say to me, brother?" ”

Nodding slowly, she tilted her neck to look at him, "Aren't you curious?" How did I get here and still be alive! ”

His face changed suddenly, and he laughed dryly, "What do you mean by this, brother?" ”

She raised her chin and motioned for him to look out the window. In the midst of the lush greenery, a cat with a pitch-black body is dying.

"It drank your peach blossom brew and died among the flowers." Shen Huan paced and said slowly.

Liu Xianjun's eyes were like torches, staring at her deadly, "I advise you, it's better not to tear your face, young people should not be impulsive." You should know that if I shout now, you will not escape. No matter how good your kung fu is, I don't believe that you can defeat the more than 10,000 soldiers and horses in the city. ”

"Really? Do I have the ability, haven't you seen it all? You also looked closely at the sparrow, and there was not even a single scar. She smiled playfully, but there was a strong ruthlessness in her eyes, "Have you figured out what method I used to kill people at this moment?" ”

She smiled faintly, her fingers clenching the other embroidery needle in her sleeve.

"You ......" He opened his eyes wide, probably wanting to deter two more words, but unfortunately after only saying this one word, the whole person seemed to be stunned, stood still for a moment, and fell backwards violently.

His eyes widened, and there was a red dot in the middle of his eyebrows! Shen Huan glanced at it with some disgust, reached out and took off his sweat towel, and gently wiped the red away.

"If you want to kill me first, don't blame me for being ruthless." She smiled lightly and threw down the sweat towel, stood up, and jumped out of the window without hesitation.

When I got home, Bai Yin was still embroidering her purse under the lamp. Shen Huan immediately instructed her to pack her things and go to the Jiang brothers next door, and if anyone asked, she said that she had never come back after going to the banquet today.

Bai Yin was so frightened that Jiang Duo was even more surprised, and he didn't know where to start. The three of them made a fuss, but they disturbed the sick people in the house.

"You killed that demon?" Jiang Zhao's originally pale face suddenly became even more sad, "You...... Do you have to repay me like this? ”

For a moment, he seemed to hear the sound of thousands of troops shouting and shouting to kill, "I can't stay here, I have to leave quickly before they send someone to get you." ”

"I know, I'm just here to say goodbye, and by the way, I'll entrust Baiyin to you." Shen Huan said to Jiang Duo, "Being able to know you two brothers is the happiest thing I have been in Tongguan during my time in Tongguan. I can't keep it now, but it's inconvenient for Bai Yin to wander away from me anymore. She was a good girl, like a sister to me. Now I entrust it to you, I hope that in the future you can treat her well and give her a promise, a complete home. ”

Jiang Duo was nervous, and he simply shouldn't have responded. Bai Yin was much more sensitive than him, and tears were already raining down.

"Are you really leaving? I, I haven't had enough of you. Didn't we say we wanted to ...... together? Maybe he can go back to the capital and change the dynasty. ”

How easy is it to change the dynasty? Gao Fengxiang was deceived by a narrow-minded demon like Liu Xianjun, in her opinion, her mental vision is limited, and she is afraid that even if she conquers Jingshi by force in the future, that position may not be able to be imprisoned.

But she didn't need to fight these hot-blooded men, she just smiled, "When I leave here, I decided to go back to the capital." It's the same to wait for you there, he's destined for a day, and we'll see you again. ”

Arching his hand, he was about to leave, Jiang Zhao, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly spoke, "You just leave in such a grand manner, you really think that the guards of Tongguan City are eating dry food!" I know that there is a path on the hill behind the council chamber that leads directly to the Wei River, and you will be safe when you cross the river, so follow me. ”

She was surprised, but Jiang Duo stopped, "No, your injury is not healed yet." ”

Jiang Zhaoli ignored it, put on a cloak, and urged, "Hurry up, it's too late." ”

The two hurriedly got on their horses and galloped along the alley all the way to the conference hall, and the sound of commotion could be faintly heard along the road, it should be Liu Xianjun's body has been discovered, and they are about to make a commotion.

When the sky was dark, a crescent moon hung over the treetops, and the two of them were already walking among the mountains. The foothills of the mountain are rugged, and I have no choice but to dismount and continue to walk forward with the reins.

Jiang Zhao walked ahead, his breath was a little chaotic. After walking about four or five miles, she paused, "You should go back, I know how to go the road ahead." ”

He turned his head, his eyes were light and gentle, "I'm not going back, let's leave here together." ”

She was stunned, not unmoved. The smile on the corner of his lips was a little tired, but also a little happy, and he wanted to say goodbye.

"Jiang Zhao, thank you, you are willing to accompany me, but you don't have to. Not for me, not for you. Your foundation is in Tongguan City, so you can go back. ”

He shook his head, looking very stubborn, "I said I wanted to be with you." It doesn't matter if you don't like me now, I'll love you over time, I believe in this sentence. He stretched out his hand, his expression full of temptation, and his smile matched the temptation perfectly.

She looked at him quietly, and suddenly felt, in all fairness, that he was also a man of amazing talent. Having such a person by his side will save him a lot of trouble, because he is smart enough, sophisticated enough, and means enough.

A brilliant man threw an olive branch to herself, and once again she felt that she was not at all unimpressed.

It's just that there are too many guesses, too many calculations, and too many trade-offs in that heartbeat, but there is no heartfelt throbbing and excitement.

Taking a deep breath, she smiled and shook her head, "Jiang Zhao, you can't leave here, because your kindness hasn't been repaid yet." If you leave, your brother will be alone, and you can't rest assured. ”

Stopped talking, and watched his hand hang down little by little, "You can't be that kind of person, because you still have guilt in your heart, and you have more friendship for him." Be a brother, there is this life, there may not be an afterlife, cherish it, don't let yourself regret it in the future. ”

He was silent, and his sparkling eyes, which had just shone brightly, finally slowly cooled down and solidified into a bottomless pool of water.

"Thirty miles or so further on, there is a small village where you can go and find a family to rest. Leave before dawn tomorrow, if they want to search the mountains, it is difficult to guarantee that there will be trouble. After calmly admonishing him, he seemed to sigh, "Sending you a thousand miles must be goodbye in the end, so that's it, you take care all the way." ”

She was very pleased with his quick decision, and he was really a person who could afford to put it down. Or rather, in fact, he never loved Cheng dù who couldn't let go.

"Okay." She threw her hand at him, "You should also take care of your injuries and take care of your injuries." It's best not to leave any scars, otherwise I'm afraid it will frighten your new wife later. ”

He scoffed, staring at her. Looking deeply into her eyes, as if to see through her soul through there.

"You'll be in Kyori, waiting for news from us, won't you?"

She said, "I hope you will succeed, and someone will replace this decaying dynasty, and I will pray for you." ”

He didn't forget to tease, "Prayer? It seems that you believe in the gods and Buddhas. After a sigh, he lowered his eyes and looked at the ground, "What is your name, don't say it now, in the future, how will I find you?" ”

She felt sour in her heart, smiled, and replied to him with a straight face, "My surname is Shen, and my single name is a Huanzi, which vibrates the universe." ”

"What a momentum! However, it is also worthy of you. After being amazed, he turned his head away from her, sniffed for a while, and raised his sparkling eyes, "You go, in the future, I believe we will meet again." ”

Thousands of miles of rivers and mountains, there is a fate to meet again. Shen Huanlang laughed, took the horse and bypassed him, and walked towards the dense mountain forest. After a long time, the sound of rustling sounded behind him. She didn't have to look back, knowing that he had gone in the opposite direction.

The moon is bright and the stars are scarce, and the depths of the dense forest are more and more quiet. Suddenly, a black magpie swept overhead, flapping its wings and flying towards a locust tree. It screamed, its voice hoarse and mournful, echoing in the mountains and forests for a long time.

She looked up and looked silently for a moment, and suddenly tears slipped down her eyes, and they were hot, falling on the placket of her clothes one by one.
