Ling Rui opened his eyes in a daze, and in front of him was the room in the Victorian Pharmacy where he had been. Bright sunlight poured into the modest room through the paper-paste windows, and a cup of tea on the wooden table in front of the bed quietly emitted rising heat. Ling Rui gently rubbed his eyes, slowly got out of bed and walked to the door, stretched out his hand to push open the wooden door, a comfortable breeze came to his face, and the big banyan tree in the courtyard shook its branches and leaves lazily under the blowing of the breeze, as if he had just woken up from sleep and greeted Ling Rui lazily. Chu Birou walked out of the back room of the medicine hall with a few plates of steaming food, and saw Ling Rui leaning against the banyan tree in the courtyard and closing her eyes as if she had returned to a dream, a smile of satisfaction rose slightly on her lips, and then she walked softly into the room where Ling Rui was before with the food. And when she put down the dish and prepared to return to the kitchen, Ling Rui had quietly appeared behind her at some point.

"Wow, it's so fragrant, it's been a long time since I've smelled such a fragrant meal." It seemed that Ling Rui seemed to be attracted by the aroma of the food, "Miss Chu, is this what you did?" Just looking at and smelling these dishes will make you hungry! ”

"Hehe, Ling Gongzi laughed, how can I have such skills, these meals are all made by Miss Ouyang herself." Chu Birou sneered a little self-deprecatingly, and then her expression gradually became a little helpless, "Originally, Miss Ouyang hadn't recovered yet, so I advised her to stay in the room and rest, but she told me that Ling Rui Gongzi was injured in order to protect her, and if she didn't do something for Ling Gongzi, she would feel uncomfortable sleeping." So, I'm taking advantage of your light for today's meal! ”

"Xiaohe, she ......" Ling Rui looked at the food on the table and stopped talking, and the bright smile that he hadn't seen for a long time gradually disappeared from his face. He walked quickly into the kitchen covering the wound that was still faintly painful, and saw Ouyang He curling his long hair, rolling up his sleeves, skillfully waving a knife and spoon in front of the stove, while at the same time, drops of sweat slowly slid down her fair face and the hair stuck to her cheeks. Ling Rui sat quietly watching her, and Ouyang He was surprised to notice Ling Rui, who had been silently accompanying her in the kitchen, after he had finished another dish with all his attention.

"Ah, Ling Gongzi, you're awake, go out quickly, the smoke here is too heavy, be careful of choking." Ouyang He looked at Ling Rui, who was sitting quietly in the corner of the kitchen, with a surprised expression, and at the same time, he couldn't stop coughing under the effect of the smoke in the room.

Ling Rui looked at her with a silent smile, then he got up and walked to Ouyang He's side, took out a handkerchief from his waist and carefully wiped the beads of sweat oozing from Ouyang He's face.

"Ling Gongzi ......" The moment Ling Rui's handkerchief touched the skin on Ouyang He's face, Ouyang He instinctively took a step back as if he had been electrocuted. Ling Rui looked a little surprised at first, but soon he shook his head with a wry smile, still confidently stretching out his handkerchief to wipe away the sweat for Ouyang He, and this time Ouyang He didn't dodge it anymore, quietly feeling every moment when Ling Rui's handkerchief touched his cheek.

"You're the stupidest girl in the world!" Ling Rui said affectionately to the seventeen-year-old girl in front of him who had accompanied him many times from birth to death.

"Heh, didn't Ling Gongzi also help me many times? This can't be stupid, this should be called Zhi'en Tu Bao! Ouyang He pretended to be angry and pouted and refuted Ling Rui's definition of her "stupid" word by word, her smart eyes and bulging face made her look so playful and cute at this moment.

"Hmph, that's stupid!" Ling Rui burst into tears and laughed for a moment, mischievously opened the handkerchief and pressed Ouyang He's little face and put down her long hair, and then ran away happily, Ouyang He also pretended to be angry and smiled and threw a few cloves of garlic at Ling Rui in his hand, the two frolicked and chased around the big banyan tree, and the laughter and laughter that had not been seen for a long time lingered in the originally lifeless courtyard of the medicine hall.

When the three of them were chatting happily and sitting together for dinner, the owner of the medicine hall hurriedly came from the door and told the three of them that a young man outside the door quietly told him that many people from the Black Eagle Village had secretly gathered near the medicine hall, and it seemed that they were not good. Ouyang He guessed that this young man was probably the mysterious man in black who had secretly helped them many times, so the reminder he gave should not be wrong. Ling Rui analyzed that since the government in Victoria City has long been in collusion with Black Eagle Village, the officials will definitely not provide any help to their situation, and they can only rely on themselves to break out of the encirclement, but now that he and Ouyang He are both injured, he is worried that the current situation is quite unfavorable to them.

"In that case, if necessary, I will temporarily hold them at the front door, and you and Miss Ouyang will take advantage of the chaos to leave through the back door first." Chu Birou said categorically to Ling Rui.

"By the way, I remember that the old man handed us a package when we were in Mu Xuefeng, since the situation is so unfavorable now, we might as well look for anything in it that can help us." Ouyang He saw Ling Rui and Chu Birou's worried expressions, and she pinned her hopes on the old man who knew her father and mother to help them out of danger in the dark.

The three of them came to Ouyang He's room, and Ouyang He opened the package, which contained a weapon like a short knife wrapped in purple cloth, as well as a dusty ancient book with "Qilin Sword Spectrum" written on the cover.

"Kirin Knife!" The three of them were all surprised by the object in front of them.

"This is the Qilin Sword, one of the legendary four great divine weapons of the ancients?" Ling Rui looked at the ordinary-looking short knife in front of him and felt a little incredulous, "It is rumored in the rivers and lakes that the Qilin Knife was made by the Heavenly Mountain Cold Iron through the ancient swordsmith Shen Shuo's thousand-time quenching and iron-smelting method, it is extremely sharp, and once it is used by someone with deep internal strength that can match the sword qi contained in it, this knife can evoke a strong wind and make it difficult for opponents to approach. Unexpectedly, the Supreme Treasure Knife, which everyone in the rivers and lakes dreams of, is so simple and unpretentious in appearance. ”

"Maybe there is another mystery in this knife, and it is not something that we can break through in a few words." Chu Birou thought calmly.

"Well, Miss Chu is right, according to what the old man said, since the Qilin Knife is a weapon used by my father, and my mother has always carried it with her when she fled from the Western Regions to Mu Xuefeng, this knife must be closely related to my life experience." Ouyang He said as she wanted to reach out and remove the purple cloth strip wrapped around the blade, but the moment her fingertips touched the blade, an unusually burning sensation became more and more obvious from the blade to the location of her heart, and at the same time, the abnormal true qi in her body seemed to be sensed and gradually became active.

"Ahh Ouyang He was so frightened that she quickly withdrew her hand, and the faint feeling of colic near the atrium made her feel a little dizzy and uncomfortable. Chu Birou saw that Ouyang He's face was gradually a little wrong, so she hurriedly checked her pulse, and then injected true qi into her to regulate this mysterious true qi that suddenly became active again.

"It seems that the breath contained in the Qilin Knife and the True Qi in Miss Ouyang's body can sense each other, but Miss Ouyang's own physique cannot be fused with this True Qi, so the breath in the Qilin Knife entering Miss Ouyang's body will only make her feel more uncomfortable." Chu Birou thought for a moment and then said to the two.

"In that case, Xiaohe, don't touch this knife, let me hold the knife and the knife spectrum." Ling Rui proposed to Ouyang He with concern.

At that moment, several smoke bombs emitting a pungent smell of sulfur exploded around the courtyard, and a dozen masked men in various costumes jumped from the surrounding walls, cautiously approaching the room they were in in a cloud of smoke. Taking advantage of the interference of the smoke, the owner of the medicine hall led the three of them to retreat softly towards the back door, but just as they had already seen that the back door was in front of them, the masked man in ambush on the roof suddenly shot several crossbow arrows, and the owner of the medicine hall fell to the ground with several arrows in an instant, Chu Birou quickly drew two swords from his waist to resist the attack of crossbow arrows to cover Ling Rui and Ouyang He to leave. Just as the number of masked people gathered around her was increasing, Chu Birou was a little unable to support it, a gray-clothed young man dressed as a scholar jumped onto the roof from the wall on one side of the wall, quickly killed several crossbowmen who were ambushed on the roof, and then jumped from the roof with light skills to help Chu Birou fight the masked man.

Ouyang He helped Ling Rui out of the back door, a carriage came from the left side of the back door and stopped in front of the two, a young woman with a good face lifted the curtain and asked the two to get on the car quickly, and shouted loudly towards the medicine hall: "Tong Kun, go quickly!" ”

The young man fighting in the medicine hall heard the shouts outside the door and threw a piece of soybeans from the package he carried and threw it at the masked people, who slipped and fell to the ground for a while, and the man took the opportunity to take Chu Birou out of the back door quickly and get into the carriage, and the carriage then left quickly. A masked man staggered out the back door after tearing off his veil in annoyance, his eyes full of unwillingness and loss as he looked at the carriage that had gone away.

Inside the carriage, Ouyang He always felt that the girl in front of him seemed to be a little familiar, but he really couldn't remember where he had seen it before. The girl noticed that Ouyang He would look at her with a side face with some confusion from time to time, so she generously introduced herself: "The little woman Liu Yangyang, she was in danger with this girl a few days ago, and I didn't expect to meet you today." After listening to the girl's introduction, Ouyang He finally remembered that she had been imprisoned in the same barracks as herself when she was in the Tubo military camp, and she was still twisting her hands constantly, as if trying to untie the rope trapped in her hands.

"Oh, it turned out to be Miss Liu, fortunately, I just remembered it." Ouyang He replied with some embarrassment.

"What? So you know each other? Ling Rui on the side was a little confused.

Ouyang He then briefly told Ling Rui and Chu Birou about everything he had experienced in the Tubo military camp before Ling Rui arrived at the Tubo military camp, and the girl also introduced the three of them to the young man who was driving the car was her husband Tong Kun.

"It turns out that the knight in black is a friend of Miss Ouyang, and the little woman hereby entrusts Miss Ouyang to convey to him the gratitude of our husband and wife, and the little woman is grateful!"

"Okay, if he is lucky enough to see him one day, I will definitely convey it for you, without his help, I'm afraid it will be difficult for me to survive to the end before Ling Gongzi comes to save me!"

"Who are you?" The carriage suddenly stopped, and Tong Kun's voice of questioning came from outside the car.

"Give Ouyang He to me, and I'll let you live!" A woman in purple with a hat stopped in front of the carriage.

"I'm sorry, she is the life-saving benefactor of my wife, and I should protect her thoroughly, please don't make it difficult for you!" Tong Kun replied without fear.

"In that case, it depends on whether you have the ability to stop the envoy!" The woman in purple quickly pulled out the Emei thorn from her sleeve and attacked Tong Kun, Tong Kun also drew her sword to face it, and then Chu Birou also brandished her double sword to join the battle. The three of them fought fiercely for more than 20 rounds, and Tong Kun and Chu Birou gradually became a little overwhelmed by the joint efforts of the two, and were finally defeated by the more powerful Xunxi one after another. Ling Rui, who was sitting in the car watching all this, was also a little uncontrollable, but the injury on his right shoulder made it difficult for him to swing his sword, and at this moment, Ouyang He stretched out Bai Lian from his sleeve and rushed out of the car to face Xunxi.
