The night is vast, cool as deep water, the lights of thousands of homes under the mountain are like beans, with a fresh halo, like sparks on the black satin, like a fine Xuandai brocade. (Fengwu Literature Network http://WWW.QIUWW.NET.)

Dugu Tao pulled Song Eighteen and the white tender boy to run on the mountains and grasslands that connected the sky, and the long wind came towards him, rolling up the barren grass all over the field, like fierce beasts with teeth and claws, and submerged their figures into it.

More than 200 bandits chased after them with a torch and a large knife, the blades of which were bright and reflected in the firelight, and the reflection was as cold as the night.

I lay on Yang Xiuyi's back and couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "Half a month ago, she was still a majestic second master, and now she looks like this, which is really embarrassing." But I think she's a little stupid in this matter. ”

"Huh?"

"If I were her, there would never be any fish that slipped through the net, I would cut down those drunks, they wouldn't report it, and then I would quietly brake and quietly do bad things behind my back."

He smiled: "It seems that you are not very stupid, but she should not have thought so much about the situation at that time." ”

“…… Well, but she's quite pitiful, Yang Xiuyi, in fact, she's not particularly bad. ”

He paused and said in a deep voice, "Whether she is particularly bad or generally bad, she will not escape death." Even if they escape the pursuit of these bandits, they will not escape the punishment of the law. ”

I wrapped my arms around his neck: "This is why Dugutao suddenly jumped out to save her?" ”

He nodded slightly: "With Dugutao's character, she must be put in prison with her own hands." ”

I felt a little uncomfortable in my heart: "Yang Xiuyi, what do you say is good." What is evil? ”

He didn't answer, and I continued: "Shigong told me that there are many wars and chaos in this world, and there are all kinds of slaughter in the world when the dynasty changes, all kinds of open and secret battles, conspiracies and conspiracies, and the kings have blood in their hands, and they still have the power to kill and take other people's lives. What's ...... with robbers?"

He interrupted me loudly: "On the ninth day of the first month, there is no need to think much about this kind of thing, there are all kinds of floating worlds, each with its own causes and karma, and it is not something we can fathom. ”

I looked at his side face in a daze, and the question that had been hidden and avoided in my heart resurfaced, and I said softly: "Yang Xiuyi, will you blame me?" ”

"Resentment?"

I lowered my head and buried it in his hair: "On the Hongru stone platform." You killed forty-one people because of me, and more than 100 people were injured, and you are infamous all over the world......"

He was silent for a long time. The eyes are very dark. Looking sideways, his eyelashes were long and curly, and he said lightly: "Chu Jiu, I'm very happy that you can say this." ”

"What?"

"I still don't regret killing them, if I had gone later that day. I'm afraid ......" He lowered his head slightly, and his voice was extremely soft, but very powerful: "If you have any accidents, don't say a Hongru Square, I will wash the entire Xuancheng in blood and bury it for you!" ”

"Yang Xiuyi ......"

"The ninth day of the first month. As I said, the world is chaotic. It's not black and white as you think, pure good and pure evil don't exist at all, and a saint is like a master, and he also has a lot of killing on his hands. The princes and generals you mentioned, none of them are good people who sit in high positions today, but if they hadn't set up a hierarchy and controlled the order of the world, I am afraid that this world would be bloody again. ”

I sighed lightly and wanted to ask a question again, but I saw that the group of bandits were slashing in the long grass with big knives, and they happened to walk in front of the ancient tree where Song Eighteen and them were hiding, and the blades slapped the roots of the trees, making a sonorous sound. I was slightly alarmed: "Why don't you help them?" ”

His tone was as light as drinking tea and watching a play: "I want to see how Dugutao will escape." ”

"But in this situation, I'm afraid I have to dig a hole in the ground and get out."

He replied casually, "Yes." ”

I was a little displeased: "You don't really want to see them digging holes, do you?" How can he say that he is also your friend, and you can't bear to see him frightened? ”

He said lightly: "You underestimate him too much, a person like him will never know what it means to be frightened." ”

Dugutao's Gujing face suddenly appeared in his mind, and there was a little curiosity in his heart. When I looked up again, I found that Dugutao's body had disappeared without a trace, I said "Huh", Yang Xiuyi raised his chin and raised it towards the tree: "There." ”

I couldn't help but be surprised: "Does he have light skills?" How so fast! ”

He smiled: "That's his specialty." ”

Dugu Tao cut off a branch with a dagger, cut it very quickly, and then pulled out the hosta, stuffed the sharpened wooden branch into the hosta, put it in front of his mouth, stared at a bandit in the distance, blew it away, and the bandit fell to the ground in an instant. The torch in his hand fell, collided with flammable weeds, and burst into flames with great speed, drawing all attention to it.

I whispered "wow": "Is that hosta hollow?" ”

"Not only that, but each of his hostas is specially made."

Dugu Tao jumped off the tree very quickly and walked to the other side, followed by Song 18 and the white tender boy. Yang Xiuyi jumped away quietly with me on his back and landed beside the dirt slope where they had re-hid.

The three figures sat like taut bowstrings, squatting there, listening intently, in the posture of starting at any time.

Half-loud, Dugu Tao breathed a sigh of relief, turned around, and quietly looked at Song Eighteen. She had been staring at him, and she had wept bitterly, and her eyes were especially bright in the night, as clear as the stars in the sky, but her eyes were as fierce as a wolf.

The white boy said unnaturally, "Thank you." ”

Dugutao shook his head: "No need." ”

"How did you suddenly show up?"

Dugutao took out a dagger and continued to cut wooden branches: "Back kitchen?" It will take a day and a night to descend the mountain at the earliest, so I am afraid that I will be hungry, so I will go to the kitchen to get some food. ”

Song Shiba's eyes were slightly surprised, his lips moved, and he didn't make a sound. The white boy laughed: "Fengyun Village, Fengyun Village, really my good brothers!" Tell me, Lord Prefect, which mole released you from the secret room? What benefits did you promise him? Gold? Silver? Or a pearl beauty? ”

Dugutao didn't speak, lowered his head and cut the branches, which were extremely thin and thin, tied into a bundle of long grass.

The white boy continued: "Now that the matter is over, even if you expose that person, we don't have the ability to investigate it, so you can talk about it, let us die to the end at once!" ”

Dugutao raised his eyelids and glanced at him idly: "You think too much." No matter how bad I am Dugutao, I will not be in cahoots with bandits, let alone use treasures to buy them, I would rather buy some bones to feed the stray wild dogs on the roadside. ”

This was said a little poisonously, and Song Eighteen turned his head to the other side, unable to see the expression on his face. Tonight's turn of events was too fast and too violent for her, and she probably didn't have the strength to argue about the speed of these words now.

After about half a pillar of incense, Dugutao straightened up. looked around, patted the weeds on his clothes, and walked forward without saying a word, Song Eighteen was stunned, and hurriedly got up and pulled him down: "Where are you going?" ”

He turned his head slightly: "Looking for the way, is it possible to stay here for one night, and wait for them to find it tomorrow and then be arrested?" ”

Song 18 pulled him back: "Don't go!" ”

Dugu Tao smiled coldly and looked at her with interest, in addition to banter and ridicule, there was a little sympathy and pity in his eyes. It's like looking at a puppy in the water.

The moonlight was white, and they could be faintly seen with a misty silver light. Song Eighteen was stunned, and a pair of bright eyes were slightly misty. I thought she was going to cry. But she's stronger than I thought she would. She smiled and slowly let go: "It's okay, you can go." ”

Dugutao immediately turned around and left, without looking back.

Before he could take a few steps, Song 18 opened his mouth and shouted to him again: "Wait! ”

He stopped, not turning. The tone was cold: "What else?" ”

Song Eighteen's expression was slightly mournful, his eyebrows were tightened, and after taking a deep breath, his face turned into a pool of still water, and he said lightly: "Go down from the front." There was a formation with a black reef around it. Just step on the reef and don't touch the loess. ”

Dugu Tao nodded coldly: "I know, thank you." ”

"Wait!"

Dugutao has excellent cultivation, without the slightest impatience, and he stopped in place, still with his back to her.

Song Eighteen bit his lower lip and pinned his messy hair behind his ear with his fingers: "Dugutao, you, how is your relationship with Chu Jiu?" ”

I was slightly stunned, not expecting her to mention me at this point.

Dugutao said lightly: "It's an acquaintance." ”

"If you get down the mountain safely, can you help me with two things?" Without waiting for Dugutao's reply, she hurriedly said: "The first thing, the lives of more than 3,000 people who died in vain in the city should not be counted on my head, but I led the wolf into the city, I am willing to apologize with death, but please return my innocence, not that I am afraid of infamy, but, but ......"

Dugutao was noncommittal: "What about the second one?" ”

Song Shibai paused, and his voice was a little bleak: "The second thing, I bother you to apologize to Chu Jiu, I'm sorry for her." ”

"Well, what's the matter, let's talk about it all at once."

In fact, I have many questions in my heart, and Yang Xiuyi, like me, is also confused. I was puzzled that he could have escaped early, but he had to show up to rescue them and put himself in danger. Yang Xiuyi said that he was going to put Song Shibai in prison with his own hands, but now he withdrew and left, and he was a little hurried, and he didn't want to stay for a moment. The only explanation, I'm afraid, is that he suddenly had a stomach upset and wanted to find a place to squat.

Song 18 shook his head: "It's okay, you, be more careful yourself." ”

"Hmm."

Dugu Tao raised his feet and walked forward, his back was tall and long, and he disappeared into the reckless night not long after wearing a Xuanqing shirt.

The white boy touched his bald head: "The second master, who is the ninth year of the first month?" ”

Song Shibai looked at the direction in which Dugu Tao disappeared, for a long time, and said lightly: "My sister." ”

"Where did you come from, sister?"

Song Shibai looked at him and paused: "Yes, where did I get my sister......

The white boy was confused: "Huh? ”

Song 18 raised his head and said quietly: "I am not qualified to be a sister to her at all. I am a bandit and robber, she is surrounded by dignitaries, I am fierce by nature, murderous like hemp, she regards human life as heaven, kind and simple. In the end, I tied her up and spoke ill of her......"

If I were here alone, I would be happy to hear her praise, but with Yang Xiuyi by my side, I always felt that my face was hot. I didn't dare to look at his expression, but I guess he was looking at me with a meaningful smile, like the kind of profiteer who stares at your money bag.

The white boy was very disdainful: "Cut, it's the kind of person who is full of benevolence and morality, don't be deceived by this kind of woman, the world's famous ladies, who are not fake, will die." Last month, Mahayana and I slipped away to Ji'an City, and the famous Zhao family beauty in the city was upside down with people in bed! ”

Song 18 shook his head: "Chu Jiu is not stupid, she has never been benevolent and moral with me, and she is not a famous lady, her origin is ......"

The white boy patted his head: "The ninth day of the first month? It can't be that Tian Chujiu! ”

"It's her, but she's not as vicious as the rumors say."

"Wow! And what about the swordsman next to her? Is it true or fake? ”

Song Shibai was thoughtful and didn't speak, the white boy continued to be excited, his eyes were bright: "It is said that that person is very majestic, excellent in swordsmanship, and good in appearance, and he killed several famous heroes in Liuzhou in an instant!" ”

I looked at Yang Xiuyi, Xu noticed my gaze, he turned his head lightly, his face was calm, and there was no wave. I immediately put on a profiteer's smiling face, looking at him meaningfully, I thought I would stare at him until his scalp was numb, and he didn't turn his head unnaturally, but he raised his eyebrows: "Laughing into this virtue, I finally found that I had picked up a treasure?" ”

Me: "......"

Song Eighteen didn't speak, and the white young boy who had talked to himself had enough came back to his senses: "Second master, then what should we do now?" ”

Song 18 took out a dagger from his boots: "Wu Xian, you go to Cangkong Mountain to find my father-in-law, tell him that something happened in the village, let him be more careful, and remember to beware of villains." ”

The white boy was stunned: "What about you?" ”

"I have to lure those people away, otherwise you and Dugutao won't be able to escape."

"You're alone?"

Song Eighteen paused and nodded.

The white tender boy looked panicked and grabbed her sleeve: "Second master, do you know what the consequences will be if you are captured?" They might just cut off your head and send you to the city! ”

Song Shibawan smiled lightly: "When are we bandits, when are we afraid of death?" ”

"But the second master, I, I ......" the white boy cried out of tears, "but I can't bear you!" ”

Song Eighteen was moved, pulled him into his arms, and hugged him tightly: "Don't worry about me, I am good at it, even if I am found, it will be fine." It's you, remember to take care of yourself and be more careful on the road. If my life really fails, and my head moves, you are the only one who can give me some wax on the grave, and if your kid dies, Lao Tzu can only be a lonely ghost. ”

The white boy cried loudly: "The second master ......"

Song Eighteen pushed him away: "You go now, you must let your father-in-law beware!" ”

"But the second is ......"

Song Shibai raised his foot violently and kicked him on the ass: "Lao Tzu doesn't like grinding and chirping, nonsense, you get out!" ”

The white boy staggered out a few steps and looked back at her.

Song 18 turned around: "Get out!" ”

"The second master, I'm leaving, you have to take care of ......"

"I don't need you to bother! Get lost! ”

Her back was straight, and her complexion was resolute like basalt. When the white boy walked away, it was difficult for her to maintain this pretend strength, and she squatted on the ground to hide her face and cry bitterly. The thin back was completely submerged by the long grass, blending in with the night, and the cry whimpered in the wind, blowing to pieces.
