Sikong Xi kept squatting slightly, took a deep breath, and the cold wind poured directly into his body, which was terrifying. He was a little suddenly absent-minded, perhaps due to the cowardice in his heart in the face of Lu Biao, who was full of anger in front of him. The handle of the knife in his hand was slightly warmed, and the hot steam that erupted from a large mouth was steaming in front of him, almost obscuring his vision.

The war knife in his hand slowly stretched out horizontally, Sikong Xi closed his eyes, and then suddenly opened his eyes. At this moment, the sword bloomed, his eyes were fixed like an eagle falcon, his body was off the ground like an arrow cluster, and the snow on the ground roared like a wind.

Lu Biao bowed his head slightly, and praised Sikong Xi's explosive entry technique. He raised the knife with one hand, raised it in a blocking position, and gradually moved forward with his body, meeting the sword that was slashing straight at him, and swung it out heavily.

The huge roar of metal resounded, and Sikong Xi was slightly stunned. But just a moment later, he retracted his knife and made a sharp "pharyngeal thunder" vibration, and the arrow stepped forward, and it was another almost perfect stab.

The hem of Lu Biao's blade was steady, and he steadily caught the stab. With a faint smile on his face, he looked up at Sikong Xi, wanting to give him some encouragement, so that he would not give up easily and be a little disappointed in his sword skills.

But he was suddenly stunned at this time, and Sikong Xi in front of him did not have the slightest frustration of defeat, but a villain who succeeded! He felt a chill down his spine and hurriedly vibrated his knife to protect himself, but Sikong Xi didn't give him this opportunity.

Sikong Xi kicked on the snow, and after the stabbing attack of the stabbing at the hem was blocked, he suddenly half-retracted and raised from the lower right to the upper left, disintegrating Lu Biao's defense. But this is not over, after Sikong Xi shook Lu Wei's frightened defense, the semi-circular raised knife then circled around the back and slashed a circle, and attacked again.

"Turning the Blade!" He roared.

Lu Biao's eyes moved slightly, and he suddenly smiled, he found that his qualifications for seeing people were not bad! This wild boy...... It can be trusted.

The knife in his hand was hot, like a heavy stove scorching his body, and his heart was also hot!

Lu Biao's broken defenses were erected again at an almost impossible speed. But this time it's not a defense, it's an offense, an attack like a bamboo! His knife also lifted up sharply with a vertical frame, and the huge force instantly crushed Sikong Xi's full force to turn the blade.

Sikong Xi's face turned pale, and the war knife came out of his hand, and he was shocked to the ground! He looked up and saw that the long knife raised was like an axe for execution, and his heart was like ashes.

"Turning the Blade!?" He almost blurted it out.

"Nope." Lu Biao looked down at him, and the long knife that leaned back with the cold wind fell completely, and a circle that was more perfect than the blade used by Sikong Xi appeared.

"It's a fierce circle!" The big knife stopped an inch in front of Sikong Xi, and Lu Biao threw it down and pulled Sikong Xi up.

"Extremely round?" Gu Key and Sikong Xi almost spoke in unison, this move was very similar to the Turning Blade, but it was faster and more intense than the Turning Blade.

"It's a move derived from turning the blade to the limit, the Extreme Circle. It's also a spinning knife, but it's even better! Lu Biao said quietly, "That is the fierceness that even the best steel in the Northern Regions can easily be crushed, and it is the power that even fierce beasts are afraid of!" ”

Lu Biao raised his eyebrows, and looked at Sikong Xi interrogatorily, "How?" ”

"There's no way to compare...... We're so far behind. Sikong Xi said in a low voice.

"Then practice well!" Lu Biao slapped him on the top of the head.

Sikong Xi is stupid, practice hard? Can you still practice flowers by fooling around? He turned his head to look at the ancient key, and found that the ancient key was also confused.

"You kid, I just thought you were smart, but now you're stupid again!" Lu Biao attacked with another palm, but he was dodged by Sikong Xi, "It is not easy for you to be able to comprehend the Turning Blade from a horizontal knife immediately, even if it is an ancient key, he has not been able to comprehend this move from the horizontal knife so smoothly." You should be glad for your talent! ”

"If you want to reach the sky in one step, it is tantamount to a fantasy!" Lu Biao stiffened his neck.

Gu Jian first understood, "Du Du wants you to fight steadily!" ”

Lu Biao nodded slightly, didn't say more, and turned to look at Lu Rou'er, "Rou'er, go to the main house with your father to prepare for tonight's ancestor worship." ”

Lu Rouer nodded lightly, relieved. She took a deep last look at Sikong Xi, her little face was still as red as when she first came, and the maids behind her followed.

"Don't be stunned, we should also prepare, today is the winter solstice, and there is no shortage of night markets that are a good place to go." Gu Key breathed a long sigh of relief, thinking that it was finally quiet.

Sikong Xi picked up the two knives, followed behind Gu Key gently, and occasionally turned around to look at Lu Rou'er, who was getting farther and farther away, and seemed to be able to see her red side face.

"How?" Gu Key looked at him sideways, "Still thinking about your sweetheart?" ”

"She's not a sweetheart." Sikong Xi replied stiffly.

"Not really? Miss doesn't know anything about scheming, she's just a deep daughter, and she can show what she likes, even if it's her sweetheart. ”

"Are you afraid that I'm worried that she's taking advantage of me?"

"Nope." Gu Jian smiled, "You're a stupid boy who is poor and white, who would take advantage of someone like you who is useless at all?" ”

"Senior brother, why do I think you have something to say?"

"What's in the words? I scolded me so clearly, you didn't notice it? Gu Key smiled.

"Believe it or not, I'm going to show you the tricks that the Governor taught me right now?"

"Boy, practice for two years and then talk big to me! I know everything about the swordsmanship and spear skills taught by the Governor. Gu Key's words suddenly changed, "Moreover, the question that bothered you, I think, is it caused by Qin Yinruo?" ”

Sikong Xi was stunned, he didn't understand why Gu Jian mentioned the incident in the restaurant a while ago.

"What do you want to say?"

"You are blaming yourself for Qin Yinruo."

"We just came to Lu Mansion together to steal some money, and teased Yan Yitu, who was still the head of the house, and then broke up." Sikong Xi was puzzled, "This question of self-blame, I think you will be wrong." ”

"No, that's all for later."

"I mean," Gu Key's stare at him, "the reason she left. ”

"What the hell are you trying to say?"

"Qin Yinruo disappeared by the south gate of the city when a large number of displaced people from Heyu District entered the country the next day." Gu Key said, "There are only two directions in which she left. ”

He approached Sikong Xi and stretched out two fingers to shake it leisurely, "The Imperial City and the Donglang Mountain Range." ”

"I think you knew from the beginning that she was going in one of those two directions." Gu Key's voice was like a magic barrier, "It's just that you lied to her and drove her away, refusing her request." ”

Sikong Xi only felt a cold wind coming from behind, and did not make any answer.

"Because you vaguely know that she's not just a Hanako." Gu Jian smiled coldly, "In two directions, the Donglang Mountain Range is not possible, the only possibility is the Imperial City." But why did she go to the Imperial City? ”

"I think that's why you don't want to get close to her. She has too many secrets, and you're just a clever thief, and it's not good for you to get involved in troublesome things. ”

"Shut up!" Sikong Xi roared lowly.

"But you're shaken." Gu Jian didn't stop at all, "You feel deeply remorseful for your cowardly behavior!" ”

"But what's the fucking use of knowing so much?" Sikong Xi suddenly raised his fist to hit him, but was easily caught.

"You know what? The old man with eyes like a lion. ”

"Lion-like eyes......" Sikong Xi was stunned, he seemed to remember something.

"That night, after we got drunk in the wine shop, we talked about Qin Yinruo, and the old man in front of us seemed to be obviously touched!"

But what does that mean? And who is that old man? Sikong Xi felt more and more that things had passed towards a complicated situation, and he was already feeling more and more confused about this matter.

"It's definitely inseparable from Qin Yinruo!" The voice of the ancient key was unequivocal.

Sikong Xi was stunned, unable to say a word, the two knives in his hand gradually slipped to the ground, covered by a thin layer of snow, and the warm handle became cold again. In the silent courtyard, there was no sound from anyone, and Gu Key's words were like a heavy hammer on his head. In the ranks of the homeless people that day, I saw the lion eyes with ivory white eyes and cold front eyes...... Could it be him?

"Well, it looks like I'm right." Gu Key's voice sounded again, and he suddenly laughed, "You are indeed blaming yourself. ”

Sikong Xi looked at the ancient key blankly.

"What do you see me doing?" Gu Key turned and walked towards the courtyard, "You seem to have forgotten which division I belong to. I know how to supervise and interrogate prisons. ”

"Are you fooling me?" Sikong Xi asked hoarsely.

"What do you say?" Gu Key just laughed.

"But you know what's the point of that?" Sikong Xi was a little annoyed, "Are you here to laugh at my cowardice!" ”

"No!" Gu Jian paused, "I'm not only fucking laughing at you for being a coward, a fool!" I also want to tell you that this matter is very important to you! ”

"Why?"

"Qin Yinruo and Xu Ji's death are inseparable!"

Sikong Xi's eyes shrank suddenly, and his legs were a little weak.

"Looks like you've got something in mind." Gu Key turned to stare at him, "You're right. In the village where Qin Yinruo was, everyone who had some intersection with her died. ”

"Someone is looking for her, but it seems that she doesn't want to go back, but that person is likely to be the old man I met that day!" Gu Key paced, and the speed of his speech became faster, "Can you understand? The person looking for her was a murderous butcher! And she doesn't seem to know about it! ”

"How do I find that person?" Sikong Xi's voice seemed to freeze into frost.

"Don't worry, that old man will always appear again, and the next time he appears, the sword in his hand will slash at your head!" "The premise is that you have to be strong enough to face him. Otherwise, with the way you look now, you don't even have the courage to face him! ”

"That smooth and sharp slash seems to be quite troublesome even for the Governor to do so." Gu Key muttered.
