"You say that portrait has no face?" On the way, Lou Xiaoyue suddenly asked.

"yes, it's the first time I've seen such a strange painting." Hua Jiu recalled. "And there's a strange mark on the woman's back."

At that time, although it was far away, she could see clearly that the woman had no face, and she did not understand the intention of the person who painted the picture. But what made her feel even more strange was the mark on the woman's back, although she didn't see it clearly, but it was sure that there were a few words.

Lou Xiaoyue was silent for a long time, he suspected that this painting had a big secret, but now that the painting was burned, the clues disappeared. If you know who paid tribute to this painting, you must have found out something.

"Master, is there anything wrong with this painting?" Seeing that he didn't speak for a long time, Hua Jiu asked curiously.

"No, let's get out of the city first." He replied lightly.

Then they saw that the gate of the West City appeared not far away, and it seemed that they had already reached the border of the West City. As long as you cross this gate, there is a river in front of you, and after crossing the river and passing through a bamboo forest, you will reach the main city.

The two boarded a wooden boat very smoothly, and the wooden boat slowly rowed forward along the river, Hua Jiu remembered that he jumped into the river when he was chased and killed a few days ago, and was later rescued by Lou Xiaoyue. However, she still hadn't figured out how he managed to deal with those killers with a crowd.

She had seen Lou Xiaoyue's martial arts, and that time against Qiu Yue, the golden axe lion king, he knocked people away with one palm, but it is conceivable that his internal strength must be unfathomable.

She also wanted to be half as powerful as him, so it was like calling for wind and rain to break into the rivers and lakes, but it was so difficult to learn martial arts, she couldn't bear that hardship, thinking about it, she thought about it again, and she thought of the day he taught her the serpentine whip, which was really an unforgettable experience.

Lou Xiaoyue forgot about the calm river and stared, his deep eyes really made people unable to understand what he was thinking at this time, Hua Jiu felt very bored, especially sitting with such an indifferent and strict person, he couldn't talk about any topic. So, she simply floated in the water, but fortunately, when she got on the boat just now, she wittily grabbed a handful of stones.

Seeing her having so much fun, the boatman couldn't help but say, "The girl looks very hearty, like a boy." ”

"Hey, hey, I love to hear this, after all, I'm from the rivers and lakes." Hua Jiu replied with a smile, but both eyes were bent into a crescent shape, which was very cute.

"The old man has also carried a lot of people on this river, and they are all famous." Seeing that she was so good at talking, the boatman continued to talk to her, and then asked as he rowed the boat, "Presumably the girl's martial arts are also quite good, right?" ”

As soon as he asked this, Hua Jiu suddenly scratched his head unnaturally, not knowing how to answer. Can she say that she will only do a little light? But I'm afraid it would be embarrassing to say it, and besides, Lou Xiaoyue was also beside her, she didn't want to sniff anymore.

So she could only laugh awkwardly for a while, and then changed the topic: "Uncle, you have been rowing here for many years, right?" ”

The boatman thought for a moment, and then replied: "It's been about ten years, and the old man hasn't read much, so he can only make a living from this." Besides, the rivers and lakes have been calm for so many years, and life is not as bitter as before, and the saint is considerate and loves the people, and every month he will distribute rice and grain that does not need money to us people, enough for a family to live. ”

It seems that the treasury of the Western Regions is quite sufficient, no wonder it is a prosperous place, Hua Jiu thought secretly.

While talking, the ship had slowly docked, and it seemed that it had arrived. Lou Xiaoyue gave the boatman a piece of silver, and he was very generous, and the boatman couldn't close his mouth, and he opened and closed his mouth with words of thanks.

Hua Jiu on the side was dumbfounded, he didn't expect this Demon Sect Leader to be so rich.

Lou Xiaoyue saw that she was still stunned, so she knocked on her head and said, "Let's go." Then he took the lead and walked forward.

Covering his forehead, Hua Jiu chased after him, and did not forget to turn around and say goodbye to the boatman: "Uncle, goodbye." ”

"Girl, the rivers and lakes are sinister, be careful—" The boatman's voice came slowly from behind.

This bamboo forest is very large, and it is almost an hour to go out, but you have to walk through it to reach the main city. Then I saw Lou Xiaoyue whistling with her hand on the side of her mouth, and in less than a moment, the sound of horses' hooves was getting closer and closer. Then, a jujube red horse appeared in front of Hua Jiu's eyes.

Immediately, she shrank back, not wanting to admit that she was seasick......

"Can I not sit on this?" She asked in a low voice, and then cautiously looked towards Lou Xiaoyue.

"Then go into the city by yourself." Unexpectedly, he rolled over on the back of the horse, patted the horse's ass and walked away. Leaving Hua Jiuyi messy in the wind.

He just left himself here, and she suddenly had an indescribable feeling in her heart, and she thought that he would forcibly carry her up like before......

"Big bad, just leave me here... Bastard, what's the matter, what kind of gentleman......" she muttered as she walked forward.

Before she could walk for a while, she felt a strange aura around her, and immediately stopped and looked around. It's the same feeling as when I met those killers here, and it's creepy.

Suddenly, the treetops trembled, and a strange wind struck.

"Who?" Suddenly, she looked around, and her expression became nervous.

At this moment, two men suddenly jumped out of the grass and jumped into the air, holding a long sword in their hands and stabbing at Hua Jiu at the same time.

They were all dressed in black corsets, the same in appearance, and their faces were delicate. They all wore a red belt around their waists and a pair of black boots on their feet.

At this time, Hua Jiu completely forgot how to dodge and stayed in place, because she hadn't reacted to this sudden move.

Their shadows were reflected in her pupils, and she looked at them in a daze, and suddenly felt that her surroundings were so quiet.

At this moment, a shadow suddenly flashed beside her, and a familiar voice followed, finally pulling her back to her senses.

"Woman, stay and go." Lou Xiaoyue didn't know when she appeared, pushing her to the side, but she blocked the two swords with one hand.

The palm of his hand seemed to have a magical power, and the sword stopped a foot away from his palm, and it couldn't touch his hand. Looking at the two men again, they both gritted their teeth as soon as they landed, as if they were trying very hard to stab down, but the sword stopped at that position, unable to advance for another half a minute, and then, their hands holding the sword began to tremble slightly.

"Is that all the Twin Musketeers can do?" Lou Xiaoyue said coldly, and with a slight internal force, the two of them took more than a dozen steps back, and the sword in their hands also fell to the side.

"You, aren't you gone?" One of them rubbed his arm and asked with a depressed expression.

Just now, he clearly saw him riding away before going out to attack, how could he appear again so quickly? Is he still human?

"As soon as I got off the boat, I found that someone was following, as if I would never show up if I didn't leave, but I didn't expect it to be you." Lou Xiaoyue replied.

That's why he left Hua Jiuyi first, just to lure them out.

The two men picked up the swords on the ground rather depressed, and at the same time a complaint came: "If I knew that the Demon Lord was also here, I would not have taken this business if I killed our brothers." ”
