97. Chapter 97, black and white are hard to tell
It's like a thunderbolt ringing in my ears. Oh my God, he killed the queen! He wanted to kill me! The queen who treated me so well was killed by him with an arrow! I'm going to kill him, I'm going to kill him!!
Qiwen trembled all over, trying her best to put her right hand into her left sleeve to touch Yuzhang, but she had no strength, and as the pain in her abdomen intensified, a stream of heat flowed out of her body surgingly, and her consciousness fell into chaos......
In the spring season, the grass warbler flies outside the Shanhai Pass, and a carved feather arrow flies into the sky, shooting down a crow above the blue sky.
When the soldiers came back from picking up the prey, they saw the feather arrows going straight through the crow's chest and abdomen, and Qiwen, who was dressed as a eunuch, applauded heartily.
The emperor in armor smiled indifferently: "You don't know, Yuan Ying and I have both practiced martial arts since childhood, although his martial arts are slightly inferior to mine, but he has a skill above me." It's archery. If the arrow had been shot by him, it would have pierced the bird's neck. ”
……
That's right, he just wanted to kill me with this brilliant skill, and if it wasn't for the queen's sister to save me, I would have died. Kill him, kill him and avenge your sister!
His consciousness was sometimes clear and sometimes chaotic, and he vaguely heard the emperor's voice in his ears, but he didn't know whether it was real or a dream.

"Can this also be used as a blade? It's not as good as your little needle. Zhu Ruichen pouted and smiled, twitched from his waist, only to hear the crisp metal sound of a jingling bell, and he already carried a nine-section soft whip with silver flashing light in his hand.
This soft whip is bright and dazzling, the middle is not like the ordinary soft whip is a simple iron joint, but like many steel springs and steel rings are connected, the end of the dart head is still a silverfish shape, the whole steel whip does not look like a blade, but like a delicate and beautiful thing.
Zhu Ruichen saw Zi Yu's stunned expression, shook the silverfish dart in his hand and smiled: "What are you looking at?" This is a good thing that the 'Ban Lost Son' gave me, if you like it, go and ask him to give you one. After speaking, he opened the door suddenly, stood tall at the door, and said loudly: "Since the three friends have found the door, why don't you show up?" Are you still waiting for me to ask for it? ”
His appearance is both serious and quite magnificent, but he is somewhat similar to Qin Haobai, and he is like the flower thief who picked flowers and was like two people.
Only a clear roar was heard, and the three white shadows instantly jumped to the door, and the three long swords shone with cold light and stabbed towards Zhu Ruichen together. Zhu Ruichen retreated to dodge, shaking off the soft whip to take the move. All four of them are extremely fast. Hearing only a metal crisp sound of "clanging", Zhu Ruichen flicked away the three swords with a soft whip, turned over and jumped off the balcony railing, and landed in the middle of the street, and the three white-clothed people also flew in pursuit.
Zi Yu chased out of the door, held on to the railing and looked down, only to see three masked white-clothed people surrounding Zhu Ruichen, the sword light in his hands jumped, and the movements were uniform, as if the tricks made by one person turned into three groups of ghosts in a kaleidoscope, so that the power of this siege was much greater. Zi Yu understood, this was the "Sword Formation" she had heard of.
Zhu Ruichen danced the soft whip to one enemy three, and immediately showed that he was overstretched, and suddenly saw him kick lightly on the head of the silverfish dart when he swung the soft whip, causing the dart head to fly towards a man in white, and was avoided sideways. With a series of crisp sounds, the silverfish dart head flew more than a foot away, and then came back, hitting the temple of a man in white, and the other man in white raised his sword in time to protect him, and bounced the dart head with a "ding" sound.
Only then did Zi Yu see that the whip body of the soft whip had actually become a long chain that was more than a foot long, and with the head of the silverfish dart, it became a chain dart.
Zhu Ruichen opened the chain dart and changed a set of moves that were completely different from when he used the soft whip, which looked wide open and elegant and chic. At first, the three white-clothed men were still a little caught off guard, but then one of them suddenly changed his moves, his sword moves were extended, and he took the initiative to wrap the chains of the chain dart, and the other two immediately switched to the same tricks as him. In this way, Zhu Ruichen had to avoid the chains being entangled by their long swords from time to time, and gradually fell behind. Finally, a few soft sounds were heard, and the head of the silverfish dart was flicked away by the sword of a white-clothed swordsman, and it was wrapping around the long sword of another person. Zhu Ruichen and the man tugged at the same time, pulling the silver chain tightly in the air. The other two did not take the opportunity to attack, but just pointed their long swords at him, and the four of them stopped moving.
Zhu Ruichen sneered indifferently: "It's really not easy for you to find a way to deal with my 'Dragon Lightning Dart' so quickly. ”
The man said, "If you continue to fight, you will not be able to defeat us." Why bother resisting? It was a woman's voice.
Zi Yu judged that this person was the woman in white that he had seen in front of the notice in the morning, and if he looked closely at the other two, they should be both men, one was slightly taller and the other was slightly shorter. They are all masked with white veils, and they can't tell how old they are. I don't know if the tall one is the one who robbed her pearl hairpin.
Zhu Ruichen shook his wrist, put the chain dart in his hand and said, "Since you don't even show your face, if I still want to ask you what your identity is, who your surname is, I guess you won't say it." ”
The woman in white glanced at the purple flower on the terrace of the inn, and said lightly: "Is this one the flower thief picking this time?" ”
Zhu Ruichen smiled ambiguously: "What, according to you, should I pick you first?" ”
Zi Yu frowned, deeply worried: At present, the life and death of Zhu Ergongzi is unknown, the sword formation of these three white-clothed people is powerful, you Zhu Ruichen has no chance of winning whether you use a soft whip or a chain dart, and you still have the leisure to say this gossip, is this estimated budget in danger, or is there no heart and lungs?
98. Superb light work
The woman in white didn't seem to be annoyed by Zhu Ruichen's light words, and continued to say coldly: "Don't talk nonsense, your accomplice has already abandoned the sword and surrendered, and your martial arts are not much higher than him, do you still want to fight to the death?" ”
Zi Yu felt a little relieved when she heard this, at least she knew that Zhu Jingchen was okay for the time being. Come to think of it, how shrewd that second son of Zhu is, he must be the master who will run if he can't beat him, and the master who will surrender if he can't run, and he won't suffer a loss.
"Yes, my martial arts skills are indeed not much higher than his, but I have a certain thing that he is far from being able to match." Zhu Ruichen said with arrogance, and jumped up before the words fell, this simple dry land onion pulling up was more than three feet high, turned over beautifully in the air, and jumped from the flat ground to the top of the three-story restaurant across the street in one fell swoop.
The pedestrians on the street and the people in the teahouses and restaurants on both sides saw someone fighting, and they had already gathered to the side of the street to watch the excitement, and when they saw Zhu Ruichen, they actually jumped to the top of the third floor in one fell swoop, and their posture was relaxed and elegant, and everyone let out an exclamation in unison, which simply shocked him.
Zi Yu was also stunned by this scene, when she was taken by Qin Haobai and flew down the cliff behind Yuliuyuan, she was already amazed by his light skills, and when she saw Zhu Ruichen's move, she sighed that there were people outside the world, and she believed that his light skills were really above Qin Haobai.
Zhu Ruichen lowered his head downstairs and smiled: "Have you learned my skills?" ”
After the three white-clothed men were stunned for a moment, they all jumped up and chased after them, they were not so superb, and they each borrowed their strength from the eaves of the first and second floors before jumping to the top of the third floor, and the three swords stabbed at Zhu Ruichen together. Zhu Ruichen seemed to be showing off his light skills, flashing and moving, not running away, but wandering between the eaves of the first, second and third floors, as light and comfortable as a butterfly flying up and down.
The three long swords did not stop, chasing together, swift and continuous, the fierceness and ruthlessness of the moves were really rare, and Zi Yu was frightened, and secretly sighed No wonder Zhu Jingchen would be captured, I hope he was not injured in the hands of these three people. And Zhu Ruichen's vertical dodge is also ethereal and light, no matter how ruthless these three people are, they will not be able to touch a corner of his clothes after all. In the blink of an eye, the three white-clothed men had made dozens of moves towards Zhu Ruichen, but they were all dodged by him one by one.
In the end, Zhu Ruichen jumped back to the top of the third floor, threw the three white-clothed people on the eaves of the first and second floors, looked at them and smiled: "Is it fun?" If you want to play for a few hours, I'm willing to accompany you. Then let's see who is the first to do nothing. ”
After this chase, although it seemed that the three of them were chasing and Zhu Ruichen fled, it was he talking and laughing at this time, and the three of them were faintly gasping, showing that they couldn't help Zhu Ruichen.
The woman in white turned her face to glance at Zi Yu on the terrace of the inn opposite.
Zhu Ruichen followed her gaze and saw that Zi Yu over there was already stunned. He was angry and funny in his heart, and pointed at her and said, "Others watch the excitement, do you also watch the excitement?" Why don't you come and help me fight? ”
Zi Yu was stunned: "I don't know martial arts, and you don't know." ”
Zhu Ruichen slapped his thigh: "Take a photo!" Do you remember that you don't know martial arts? Why don't you run for your life? ”
Only then did Zi Yu remember that he should take the opportunity to escape, and hurriedly ran towards the staircase.
The woman in white jumped down from the restaurant, her feet in the middle of the street, and rushed towards where Zi Yu was. Zhu Ruichen flew down like a big bird, shook off the chain dart in his hand, and struck at the back of the woman in white. The two men in white let out a shout, and stabbed at him with both swords. If Zhu Ruichen didn't accept the move, he would have to be hit by two swords at the same time as the chain dart hit the woman in white, so he had no choice but to withdraw the chain dart halfway and turn over to avoid the double swords. watched the woman in white jump up to Ziyu, grabbed her by the collar and ripped her downstairs and landed on the street.
When Zi Yu was pulled down, she was encountering the tall man's long sword to collect and flirt, seeing that the tip of the sword was just slashing towards her face, the woman in white pulled her in time to dodge and dodge, and the tall man hurriedly put away his sword when he saw this.
Seeing this, Ziyu's heart moved: Why do they seem to be afraid that I will be hurt? What is the reason for this?
The woman in white pulled her to the ground and held her sword to her neck.
Zhu Ruichen shook his head and sighed: "It's really stupider than a pig!" ”
The swords of the two men came at him again. Zhu Ruichen rose up again, avoided the eaves on the second floor, and asked, "What kind of sect are you?" Why do you have to get along with us? ”
The woman in white turned to Zhu Ruichen and said, "We are looking for someone from Shanqing Palace, she is not from Shanqing Palace, but you are." ”
Zhu Ruichen sneered: "How do you know that I am? She didn't have a tattoo, and neither did I. As he spoke, he rolled up his sleeves and showed them his arms.
The woman in white shouted: "Zhu Ruichen, you still want to pretend to be garlic!" ”
Zhu Ruichen blinked, very surprised: "Girl, it's just that you can recognize me as a flower thief, after all, there are notices with my portrait posted all over the city, but I haven't used my real name and surname outside for two years, how can you recognize who I am?" Could it be that I have seduced you in some street and left you behind? Why don't you take off your veil and let me think about it. ”
The woman in white said coldly: "You...... I still want to deny it, you will 'blow the wind', when I can't see it? ”
Zi Yu saw that her sword hand was trembling slightly, obviously extremely angry, and she was puzzled: Zhu Ruichen had spoken lightly to her just now, and he didn't see her angry at all, why was he so angry at this time?
Two of them have been captured, and they still can't see the nervousness of Master Zhu. He squatted leisurely on the eaves and said, "Am I the only one in the world who will be 'sunny and windy'?" Oh, I know, there are very few people in the world who have practiced 'Sunny Breeze Drifting', and there is only one one who is as handsome and chic as me, so you can recognize me. Well, with your eyesight, even if I haven't picked you before, I must find an opportunity to get close to you in the future. ”
The woman in white glanced at the short man, and with a swing of the short man's long sword, he stabbed at Zi Yu's eyes, and stopped in the air inches away from Zi Yu's eyes. Zi Yu was so frightened at this moment, his hands and feet were sore, and Zhu Ruichen was also taken aback.
The woman in white said to Zhu Ruichen: "I'll count three times, you come down and surrender immediately, otherwise we will blind her in one eye." One! ”
Zhu Ruichen looked at Zi Yu and his expression was stern.
The woman in white continued: "Two! ”
Zhu Ruichen said: "Since you said that she is not from the Shanqing Palace, why should you be embarrassed for her?" ”
The woman in white ignored his words, and only said, "Do you surrender or not?" Do you want to watch her blood splattered on the spot? ”
Looking at Zhu Ruichen, Zi Yu wanted to speak and stopped, a little curious for a while, what choice he would make when faced with such a scene.
Zhu Ruichen frowned and looked at Zi Yu for a while, and said in a deep voice: "I'm sorry, I can't surrender." ”
Zi Yu smiled unexpectedly: "That's right." If you do surrender, there will be no hope of salvation. This is the wisest choice you make. 'Yigo Gongzi' is really a calm and rational person, and he really didn't disappoint me. ”
Zhu Ruichen's eyes lit up, and he was very surprised. This girl actually saw the shape as clearly as he did, and knew that if he surrendered now, he would not be able to wait for others to come to the rescue, and the outcome of the three of them was unpredictable. So he obeyed the woman's intimidation to surrender, but it was a strategy that might cause all three of them to end miserably. Therefore, although ignoring her safety seemed indifferent and ruthless, he was really helpless and could only make this decision. This little girl is in such a critical situation, and she still has such a mind, and she can still have such a tacit understanding with him, which is really rare and impressive.
Zhu Ruichen also smiled: "You are really heroic." There's no way, this time I caused you to lose an eye, so I had to poke me blind in one eye to compensate you. Anyway, there is someone to accompany you to be blind, and it is a beautiful man like me, you are not too much of a loss, right? ”
Zi Yu laughed, looked at the woman in white and said, "Don't worry, the reason why I dare to say this is not because of any arrogance, but because I see that they don't know why they don't dare to hurt me." There must be some other purpose in keeping me. ”
Zhu Ruichen nodded and said, "I see." Now I admire not your pride, but your wisdom. No, it's the first time I've met such a woman I admire, I can't let it go, and when this is over, I'm going to bow down to you. ”
Zi Yu smiled dumbly: "You are complacent, why don't you ask me if I would like to have a flower thief as my brother?" ”
Before she could finish speaking, she suddenly received a heavy slap on her face from the woman in white, and immediately fell to the ground with her body crooked.
Zhu Ruichen frowned.
The woman in white sneered: "Even if we can't stab you in the eye for the time being, we can give you a little bitterness!" ”
Zi Yu only felt dizzy, his face was in hot pain, he struggled to get up, raised his hand and touched it, and the corners of his mouth were oozing blood.
The woman in white pulled up the placket of her purple robe again. Zi Yu said to Zhu Ruichen: "Hurry up!" ”
Zhu Ruichen understood that now it was for her to leave as soon as possible in order to save her from more torture, so she nodded slightly and said with a smile: "This girl in white is so powerful, I admire it tightly." We'll be here for a long time, and I'll come back to you again! Then he flew away.
Zi Yu breathed a sigh of relief when he saw his figure disappear. I heard the short man say, "What should I do with this woman?" Do you want to take it to Shao Songshan together? ”
Shao Songshan? Zi Yu felt that the name of the place sounded familiar, and before he could think of it, he was hit by the hilt of the woman in white on the back of the neck, and his mind was dizzy, and he didn't know what to do.
I vaguely heard someone calling in my ears, and my body seemed to be pushed and moved. Zi Yu opened her eyes weakly, and there was an illusory light in front of her, and the person in front of her was dressed in ink-colored clothes, with handsome and picturesque eyebrows, looking at her with concern, and raised his hand to comb the hair in front of her forehead. She was lying in the crook of his arm, and she felt that this scene was too ethereal, too unreal, and wanted to ask, "You came to save me?" But he opened his mouth, and said nothing.
In front of him, he opened his mouth first: "I'm late, I'm sorry, I've made you suffer so much, and I won't do it again." With that, he tightened his arms and took her into his arms.
His voice was so far away and void that Zi Yu naturally came to a conclusion - this must be just a sweet dream. How could he suddenly appear? How can you speak so gently? How could he be so concerned and considerate of her? It's all illogical. There is no other explanation than being in a dream.
But......
Suddenly, my heart was shocked, and my brain seemed to be illuminated by a bright snow. That day in the deserted courtyard outside the town, before we parted with him, didn't he also speak to her gently, and was extremely considerate and concerned about her?
For so many days, she didn't have the courage to think about the scene of that day, once she touched it, it was all physically and mentally painful, and only when she was confused at this moment, she suddenly remembered it again.
Zi Yu stared at him with wide eyes, his heart was beating so violently that he seemed to jump out of his mouth - that's right, you thought you could take me away that day, your eyes obviously flashed with joy, you obviously treated me sincerely, you obviously really had affection for me, I was so stupid, I didn't believe it, and I still had to reject you against my will, I was really the biggest fool in the world! As long as you are sincere to me, what do you burden me and I drag you down, what do you care? As far as I am concerned, what else in the world can be more important than your true feelings for me?
This realization was so great that it literally changed the color of her world. And this huge realization actually happened in her dream. Shocked by this, Zi Yu woke up at the time, first saw that it was dark in front of him, and it was already dark night.
A voice in my ear said, "My sister has finally woken up." ”
The sound of horses' hooves and the squeaking of the axles of the wagons reached the ears. Zi Yu gathered his spirit for a while, and wanted to struggle to get up, only to find that his arms were tightly tied by ropes, and he looked around sideways, and saw that he seemed to be lying in a moving carriage, and in front of him sat a person who was also tied with his arms, with a joy on his face that was not commensurate with the tied wolf, it was Zhu Jingchen.
Zhu Jingchen said: "That evil woman dares to treat you like this, look back, I won't clean her up and avenge you!" ”
Zi Yu struggled to sit up and said, "Are you okay?" Are there any injuries? ”
"Fortunately, I understand the truth that heroes don't suffer immediate losses very thoroughly, and I didn't wait for a big loss to withdraw and surrender." Zhu Jingchen snorted, "Those three masked men didn't come to fight me alone, but instead formed a sword formation to besiege me, how can I bear this?" If I had known that, I wouldn't have provoked them. ”
Zi Yu sighed lightly. Originally, Zhu Jingchen went to fight with the man in white to be angry for her, so when she first heard that he was arrested, she was still a little guilty, but after listening to the words of the woman in white, she knew that these people were originally targeting the Shanqing Palace, and it was not for the conflict caused by this trivial matter. But in this way, the trouble is even greater, and I am afraid that it will not be solved in a moment. I don't know what kind of forces are coming to deal with Shanqing Palace.
Zhu Jingchen was still talking about his heroic deeds of one enemy and three enemies, Zi Yu had already heard it, and his thoughts were all used to ponder what he realized in that dream.
She is so sensitive and thoughtful, how can she not tell whether Qin Haobai's show of love at that time is true or false? At that time, she couldn't accept it, all because she had just experienced the upheaval that she had hurt him, and she was at a low point of discouragement, and she didn't dare to let herself have any hope. Now thinking calmly, thinking of Qin Haobai's sincere expression, thinking of the veins and affection in his dark eyes, thinking of the joy he showed when he offered to take her back to Shanqing Palace, and the almost desperate loneliness after her refusal, how could she not be aware!
