Chapter Eighty-Eight: The Road Up the Mountain

It is said that Xia Hongying, Bingyan, Xueqing and their entourage felt that something was wrong as soon as they came to the door of the courtyard under the Jingzhou Inn. When Xue Qing is not there, Xia Hongying will also try to rent a courtyard, or a suite large enough for five people, and wait for Xue Qing to come back at any time.

The three of them held their breath and glanced at each other, Xue Qing entered directly through the courtyard gate, and Xia Hongying and Bing Yan jumped on one side of the wall. Xue Qing pushed open the door and walked in, everything in the yard could be seen clearly, and the Xia Hongying and Ice Flame at the head of the courtyard wall took in everything in the yard.

Xiaolong and Xiaoshuo were tied to the pillars of the pavilion in the courtyard, and when they saw the three of them, they shook their heads vigorously, and their mouths were tightened by strips of cloth and made a "whine" sound.

There should be an ambush on the top of the pavilion, but Xue Qing didn't bother to care about this, and flew over directly. First, the eldest lady was on fire in her heart, and she happened to have a short-sighted one to vent her anger; Besides, this is Jingzhou, and it is also near Wanjian Villa, even if the other party is a peerless master, the eldest lady is also fearless.

Just as Xue Qing was approaching the pavilion, two figures, one yellow and one white, flew out and directly hit Xue Qing. Xia Hongying and Bingyan couldn't see their sweethearts being bullied, and they appeared at the same time. The two of them were about to help Xue Qing break the siege, but they were surrounded by three figures: one black, one gray, and one green.

The yellow and white duo are women at first glance, and their martial arts are quite average, and the women in white have better kung fu. Even so, the two of them together were not the opponents of Xue Qing in anger, and they were quickly knocked to the ground by Xue Qing.

The other three people are a lot more powerful in comparison, the three of them besieged, tied with Xia Hongying and Bingyan, and faintly had the upper hand.

However, when Xue Qing joined the melee, the situation immediately changed. Xue Qing directly confronted the green shadow, and the ice flame immediately turned to the gray shadow, leaving only the black shadow to fight against Xia Hongying.

Soon, Bingyan and Xue Qing knocked their opponents down and ended the battle, only Xia Hongying's side continued. But neither of them intervened, and after untying Xiaolong and Xiaoshuo, they intervened and stood aside to watch.

Because at this time, they had already seen that the other party was a friend and not an enemy, otherwise how could the yellow and white women lose and stand aside, but they didn't come to help. Moreover, if it is a vendetta, when the enemy is defeated, the normal reaction should be to threaten with hostages, and they do not have it. They looked at the red cherry blossoms, and they didn't know what they had to do with the red cherry blossoms.

After three hundred moves, Xia Hongying slapped the black shadow out with a palm and said with a smile: "Lei Ao, in the past year, your kung fu has not made much progress." ”

The black shadow saluted: "Childe forgives sins, it's not that Lei Ao has not progressed, but that Lei Ao has not made rapid progress as Childe." ”

The green shadow also said: "In the past year, Childe has indeed made great progress, congratulations to Childe." ”

Listening to his compliments, Xia Hongying also smiled and didn't speak.

At this time, the two women in yellow and white also came over, and their appearance was seven points similar, and they looked like a pair of sisters. The woman in yellow said coquettishly: "I said that Gongzi didn't go home to see it this year, even when he arrived at Qinghui Garden, he didn't inform us, it turned out that he was accompanied by a beautiful woman by his side." ”

Although the woman in white did not speak, looking at her expression, she also had the same thoughts as the woman in yellow.

Yes, it turns out that this is Xia Hongying's confidante. Xue Qing said in her heart: It seems that you have to stay away from Xia Hongying in the future, don't come another Luo Rong. This woman is much more crazy than a man, and Luo Rong's crazy self-harm behavior Xue Qing still has lingering palpitations. She knew Xia Hongying's thoughts, but she didn't want to provoke two women at once, not every woman was as cute as Snow Goose.

The man in black named Lei Ao reproached: "Yuling, how did you talk to your son, it seems that you have been spoiled, and you are no longer big or small." ”

"Lei Ao, everything is simple outside, no need to be polite." Xia Hongying stopped Lei Ao at first, but quickly straightened her face and said, "It's just that you use this way to see me, is it appropriate?" ”

"Childe!" The woman in yellow hurriedly explained, "The idea of sneaking up on Gongzi was mentioned by Yuling, please don't blame my brother." ”

"I don't mind if you sneak up on me, but ......" Xia Hongying glanced at Xiaolong and Xiaoshuo and said, "It's too much for you to treat my friend like this." ”

Xue Qing nodded, this joke also has to have a degree, why do you have to tie people up when you learn martial arts. If Xia Hongying doesn't say it now, she will say it later.

Lei Ao immediately saluted Xiaolong and Xiao Shuo and said, "The villain has lost his sense of proportion for a while, please forgive the two sons." Seeing Lei Ao's movements, the man in gray and the man in green also followed along to apologize to Xiaolong and Xiaoshuo.

Xiaolong and Xiao Shuo were originally very dissatisfied with Lei Ao and the others, but looking at Lei Ao's attitude, it was not good to say anything. Xiaolong scratched his head and said, "It's okay, a misunderstanding." My name is Zhu Xiaolong! ”

"Uh...... My name is Qiao Shuo. Seeing Xiaolong's own introduction, Xiaoshuo also followed awkwardly.

Lei Ao and the others saluted again: "Xie Zhu Gongzi and Qiao Gongzi are considerate. Then he turned his gaze to Xia Hongying.

Xia Hongying snorted lightly, the matter was considered to be in the past, so he pointed to Bingyan and introduced to Lei Ao and the others: "This is the prince of the emperor." ”

"Huangfu?" Lei Ao was stunned for a moment when he heard this surname, and then saluted, "The villain Lei Ao has seen the prince of the emperor." Several other people followed suit.

"This is Miss Li."

"Lai?" Lei Ao and the others were puzzled again, but they still saluted.

Then, those people also introduced themselves: the rugged-looking man in black was called Lei Ao, who was the head of the guards in Xia Hongying's family; The man in gray was tall and tall, looking a little dull, and was a small leader among the guards; The man in green is called Jiang Qi, short in stature, about the same height as Xiao Shuo, and is Xia Hongying's companion; And the woman in yellow, Lei Yuling, and the woman in white, Lei Yuhua, are both Lei Ao's sister and Xia Hongying's childhood sweetheart.

After the greetings, Xia Hongying asked again: "Lei Ao, why did you appear here?" ”

Lei Ao bowed down and said, "Knowing that Gongzi is going to participate in the sword trial conference, several of us have been waiting here since the beginning of April. ”

Xia Hongying said in a deep voice: "It seems that you are all very idle." ”

Lei Ao said neither humbly nor arrogantly: "Protecting the safety of the son is our top priority. ”

Xia Hongying didn't eat this, and said: "I don't need protection, you go back and do what you have to do, don't make trouble for me." ”

Lei Ao was not good at words, but insisted: "Childe, please let me wait to go to the sword test conference." ”

Lei Yuling said: "Big brother, Childe, I don't want us to hinder him from getting to know a new love, don't you don't know each other." ”

Xue Qing rolled her eyes on the side, and said impatiently: "Don't ink, just go if you want to." If you drag on like this, you won't be able to get there before dark. ”

"Xueqing, where do you want to go?" Xia Hongying really couldn't guess her mind this time.

Bing Yan didn't speak, he was following anyway now, wherever Xue Qing went, he went.

Xue Qing smiled: "Of course it's Wanjian Villa, otherwise where else can you go?" ”

Xia Hongying sighed helplessly, and stepped forward to persuade her: "Xueqing, I'm tired from traveling today, go back and rest, we have always kept your room for you." It was not until the third day of the fifth month that this stronghold organized everyone to go up the mountain together. ”

Xue Qing pouted and said, "I won't wait for them, I'll go now." ”

Xia Hongying guessed in her heart, but she still persuaded her: "Don't make trouble, don't wait for them, how can we go?" ”

The eldest lady smiled and waved the sword in her hand: "Kill it." ”

"You ......" Xia Hongying narrowed her eyes, it seems that this girl is planning a showdown, she no longer intends to hide the secrets on her body, what does she have to do with Wanjian Villa.

Bingyan wondered, could it be because she hurt her too deeply, so she wanted to kill herself? So he also persuaded: "Xue Qing, don't be willful. ”

Even the little dragon, who has always been nervous, couldn't help but say: "Xueqing, are you going to die, or wait." ”

A few people on Lei Ao's side are very unaccustomed to Xue Qing's self-righteousness, and the little girl wants to send her to death, don't take their son-in-law with her.

Xue Qing walked directly to the door, leaving a message: "I'm here to pick up Xiaolong and Xiao Shuo, not to waste time." I'm going to Wanjian Villa now, if you don't dare, stay here and wait until the third day of the fifth month before setting off. ”

"Wait, I'll go with you!" Bingyan and Xia Hongying said in unison, and immediately chased after them quickly.

Xiaolong and Xiaoshuo have always followed the large army, and they didn't speak anymore, and followed directly.

Lei Ao and the others didn't agree, they quickly caught up, stopped in front of Xia Hongying, knelt down and said, "Please think twice!" ”

Xia Hongying looked at a few people and said solemnly: "Lei Ao, listen, this is an order, and it must not be violated: first, you go back to protect your father; Second, stay here and wait for me to come back; Third, follow me to the Ten Thousand Swords Villa, but you must follow my instructions in every move. Take your pick! ”

"But Childe ......," Lei Ao still wanted to stop.

"No, but! Even if you call me a son, you should also understand that I have the final say here. After Xia Hongying finished speaking, she stepped on the horse and chased after Xueqing.

Lei Ao and the others had no choice but to ride their horses to follow. Now it's not just Lei Yuling, everyone else can see that the son likes that Miss Li. Otherwise, how could the son, who has always been calm, do such a risky thing. It's just that as a guard entourage, they can only follow.

Xue Qing rode her horse all the way and went directly into the mountains, Bingyan and Xia Hongying were afraid that she would be in danger, so they guarded her tightly all the way.

Suddenly, Xue Qing stopped at the foot of a mountain cliff, hesitated for a moment, and continued to run forward along the mountain road. There was a secret door in that place just now, which was a shortcut up the mountain, and Xue Qing almost habitually walked that way.

Then it occurred to her that she wasn't alone. If there were only a few outsiders, Xia Hongying, Xiaolong, and Xiaoshuo, she would have taken a shortcut, but she couldn't trust the new ones. Although the strength of Ten Thousand Swords Villa is not afraid of anyone, it is better to be careful and be troublesome.

After running forward for another quarter of an hour, a rudimentary defense appeared in front of them: at the mouth of a valley, there were eight people guarding it, who should be the disciples of Wanjian Villa, and everyone suddenly began to get nervous.
