At night, the moon is in the court, and the snow is white.
Glass flying snow, green yarn like a dream.
I sat in the stone courtyard, peeling the golden gourd seeds rewarded by Emperor Qi in my hand, humming the pipa tune I had just learned in Yuhualou recently, my movements were leisurely, my expression was relaxed, and I looked like I was complacent.
Suddenly, the bamboo forest swayed, the snow faded, the moonlight on the court was faint, the yarn was broken, and dozens of black-clothed people with masks on their faces quietly fell around the stone court, the sword was cold and awe-inspiring.
"If you're here to kill your own appearance, you're probably not going to see enough." I put the peeled melon seeds into the white jade plate on the side, "If you don't come to kill me, then you have something to say, I'm tired of it, and I'm going to rest." ”
My words were too presumptuous, but none of the men in black in the circle were angry, like a cold murder weapon, without emotion or thought.
I can't help but admire the Blood Alliance's killer cultivation training again, and being able to train uneven outlaw bandits like this, which shows Bai Wuxin's ability.
The Blood Pact is terrifying.
When I was about to get up and leave with melon seeds, the men in black finally moved, and they attacked me in an instant, killing me with no mercy.
I immediately swept the melon seeds in the white jade plate towards them, the melon seeds were like blades, and in an instant, several people in black were shot through the neck and fell to the ground because they did not dodge the melon seeds.
I pulled out the soft sword at my waist and fought them.
The man in black didn't want to leave me alive, so I didn't be polite, and every sword was pressed into their vital point.
Although these men in black are well-trained and good at assassination, it is impossible for all of them to be martial arts masters, and after a while, there are only three men in black who are still alive.
"Do you still want to fight?" I used a force to force them back, and then the long sword was horizontal, and I looked at them with cold eyes.
"The alliance leader has an order, Wuxia Mountain is breezy and streamy, and on the bank of weak water, he is waiting for you there."
As soon as the words fell, several men in black jumped into the night and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
I frowned at the reassurance of their departure, and my heart was half cold.
"What about these people?" He Qiong came from the silent night, dressed in a Moran robe, the wind and bones shimmered, and the snow turned into frost.
The blood in the stone courtyard has flowed along the floor tiles into the surrounding snow, and the cold moonlight is like a waterfall, and the blood reflects the white snow, cold to the bones.
"Leave it to His Majesty Emperor Qi and dispose of it with him." I walked out of the stone courtyard, the corners of my robe fluttering lightly over the snow, bringing with me some cold night breeze.
"You ......" He Qiong looked at me, wanting to speak again.
"I will definitely go to Wuxia Mountain." I threw the blood-stained sword in my hand into the stone court and exhaled softly.
"We can ask His Majesty Emperor Qi for more soldiers and horses." He Qiong was anxious, and took a step forward and began to persuade me, "I expect that Emperor Qi also knows the danger of Wuxia Mountain, and it is impossible to embarrass us." ”
I shook my head and turned away with my hands behind my back.
"Eight hundred Imperial Forest Army is already the limit of Emperor Qi's tolerance."
No matter how much it is, we people from Qin don't want to leave this place again.
"Emperor Qi knows our intentions." He Qiong understood the meaning of my words, but he still wanted to gamble, "It is impossible for us to rebel with such a few people, not to mention that they are still soldiers of the Qi State." ”
I sighed and put my hand on his shoulder, "Knowing is knowing, and doing is practice, and even if Emperor Qi agrees to lend us more soldiers and horses, it is impossible for the ministers of Qi to agree to hand over the military power to us outsiders." ”
The two countries are already full of contradictions, even if they don't talk about whether they will turn their faces ruthlessly in the future, the current alliance may not necessarily be solid.
The heart of defense is indispensable, the ancient training.
Anyway, Emperor Qi can't count on it, so they can only rely on themselves.
"I'll go with you, and you must not leave me alone and venture alone." He Qiong always felt a little uneasy, and once again emphasized the words in front of Emperor Qi during the day.
"The terrain of Wuxia Mountain is steep, and the Qingfeng Stream is extremely narrow and deep, that place is the best place to ambush the assassins, we can easily be ambushed." I grimaced and disagreed with He Qiong's request, "You can't go with me, it's too dangerous." ”
"You don't have to tell me this, the situation in Wuxia Mountain, I know very well, it is because of the danger that I must go with you, we have been classmates for ten years, it is impossible for me to let you go to death." He Qiong has made up his mind, no matter what I say, he will definitely follow me.
"He Qiong!" My face was a little ugly, but He Qiong deliberately pretended not to see it, waved her hand and went back to sleep.
This guy has to rush to do everything to die!
I flicked my sleeves a little angrily, called someone to dispose of the man in black in the stone courtyard, and went back to the house to sleep.
However, when I opened the door of the bedroom, I saw Lu Xuan sitting by the screen with a serious face, waiting for me to come back.
"Lord Shen Xiang already knows the whereabouts of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and Princess Huizhong?" Youyou filled me with a cup of tea, and Lu Xuanyi raised his hand and invited me to sit down.
"It's time for you." I bowed my hand to him, and lifted my shirt and did it.
"Wuxia Mountain is breezy and windy, and the bank of weak water." I held the teacup in both hands," the Assassin of the Blood Alliance told the student. ”
When Lu Xuan heard this, he frowned slightly, "That's not a good place." "Let's read books
"yes." I nodded, "Maybe the student is gone, but he won't be able to come back." ”
Lu Xuan glanced up at me, chuckled, shook his head and said, "If it were someone else, it would indeed not be able to come back, but if it were you, when it was time to come back, you would come back after all." ”
"Master believes in students like that?" I looked at him, smiling with half-closed eyes.
"Yes." Lu Xuan nodded, but the next second he shook his head.
"Master, what do you mean by that?" I raised an eyebrow.
"The old man has taught many students in the White Crane Academy, some are talented and some are dull, they have the ability to be stronger than you, and some have the ability to be weaker than you, but the old man has always thought that only you can afford to be the prime minister of this Qin country."
Lu Xuan put down the tea in his hand and stood up with his hands in his hands, "There are many reasons for this, for example, you are separated from Wei Yinghoufu, you don't have a deep background, and you won't disobey the emperor's orders for the benefit of your own Houfu, which makes your loyalty to the monarch come very simply, and the emperor will be so pampered by you, which is also the reason." ”
"However, the most important reason is," Lu Xuan looked at me, and a light suddenly flashed in his eyes, "Your heart is different from that of ordinary family children. For the phase, when the combination of rigidity and softness, the world. You have a lot of determination and perseverance, you have enough tenderness, you are not arrogant, you are not humble, you are always clear. ”
Slightly stunned in my heart, I looked up at Lu Xuan for a long time, and then I chuckled, raised the teacup above my head, leaned over and bowed my head, "Master's meaning, the student understands, this is a farewell, no matter whether the student is alive or dead, he will definitely save His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and Princess Huizhong." Biancheng Medium Affairs...... It's up to the Master to deal with it. ”
With that, I looked up and drank the tea he had poured for me.
Lu Xuan looked at me silently for a while, and suddenly left my bedroom with a sigh and a relieved smile.
"Qingzhi, life and death are downplayed at this point, you are really much higher than others."
I silently clenched the teacup in my hand, and it wasn't until a crack appeared in my hand that I suddenly let go of it.
Life and death are downcast?
Then there must also be a chance to choose life and death.
Gently putting down the teacup, I bypassed the screen and went inside to sleep.
The next day, snow fell and the ground was full of frost.
When I went out, He Qiong was already waiting for me by the prepared carriage.
He didn't hold an umbrella, his shoulders were full of falling snow, and his long hair, which was originally ink-colored, was also embellished with a little white light.
"Even if you want to arrest me, you don't have to stand in the snow, do you?" I walked up to him and waved my hand back from the umbrella boy.
Finely shredded snow slowly fell from the sky onto the crown of my hair, and then rolled down from the crown to my face, cold and uncomfortable.
"It's always going to take some effort for you, or you'll run away." He Qiongcai didn't listen to my deception, turned around and got into the carriage.
“……”
Is my credit so bad?
I couldn't help but doubt myself for a moment.
"Don't get in the car yet? Eight hundred Imperial Guards are waiting for you at the gates of the city!" He Qiong lifted the curtain to look at me.
"I know, I know, you used to like to push me." I was helpless and hesitant, and finally got into the car under his gaze.
"I'm stuck in Wuxia Mountain for a while, I won't save you."
He Qiong pursed her lips to look at me, and then smiled lightly, "I don't expect you to save me, I can save you." ”
I froze, and didn't continue with his words.
The carriage moved forward slowly, and two wheel marks were gradually left on the vast snow, and the white snowflakes were crushed under the wheels.
When I arrived at the gate of the city, the eight hundred Imperial Forest Army was already lined up and waiting for me, of course, there was also the current commander of the Imperial Forest Army of the Qi State, Chen Kun.
"General Chen, long time no see." I half-lifted the curtain and greeted him with a smile.
"Lord Shen Xiang." Chen Kun clasped his fists and saluted me.
"The road ahead is bumpy, and the general needs to take more care of his appearance." I laughed.
"The last general will definitely protect the adults thoroughly."
"yes, okay." I smiled and nodded, and lowered the curtain, "Let's go." Wuxia Mountain is breezy and windy, and the bank of weak water. ”
Chen Kun was shocked, but fortunately he did not lose his color.
He stood outside my carriage for a moment, and I thought he had something to say, but after a moment's wait, he just lifted his cloak and turned to get on his horse.
"Let's go."
"Yes."
The army then marched forward, 800 royal forest troops, majestic, terrifying, on the official road, the people and traders avoided one after another, lest they collide with the nobles in the carriage and cause trouble.
