Chapter 6: Serendipity

The breeze blows, and the fallen leaves in the courtyard dance with the wind. In the depths of the courtyard, there was a woman in a silk dress with a flowery face and a moon-like appearance, her slender jade hand caressing the carved piano in front of her, and her eyes showed a strong sadness. The soft long hair with light brown curls hangs down to the waist, and the sun shines on the hair, giving the owner a lazy and elegant temperament. Blow-on-the-blow, clear and smooth skin with a distinctive whitening. The woman's face looks like a mixed-race child, and her beautiful eyes are actually stunning lilac, as if condensing the sadness of autumn. The whole person exudes a faint, melancholy but extraordinary temperament. The woman sitting in front of the piano was full of thoughts at the moment, and her heart was like numbness. Recently, not only does he often make mistakes playing the piano, but his chest hurts at night, but he didn't expect that a talented man like him has a knot that he can't untie.

For a long time, the late autumn wind had blown her face cold. The woman stood up and walked out of the courtyard leisurely. She strolled and, before she knew it, had come to a crowded street market. She thought that buying his favorite osmanthus wine should make him happy.

Walking through the bustling crowd, walking with his head down, he came to a bustling building in a blink of an eye. She raised her head, and the door plaque was engraved with four big characters - "Hejia Restaurant".

The osmanthus wine of Hejia Restaurant is the most famous.

In normal times, she would have come upstairs to greet the wine; However, at this moment, there was a well-dressed, polite, and decent man in Tsing Yi standing in front of the door, surrounded by several burly and strong subordinates.

"Miss Jing, what a beauty who deserves her name." The man in Tsing Yi called, his eyes shining, and his gentle voice was full of confidence. "It turns out that we have the same taste for wine."

Oh? It turns out that there are already drunk people at this hour in broad daylight? Thinking like this in her heart, Miss Jing's face did not change, she glanced at the man in front of her with a cold gaze, and said casually: "I don't want to have the same preferences as Your Excellency." ”

"Could it be that his piano skills and physical resistance have declined?" A low, smiling voice came, pleasant to the ear, but with a coldness that could not be ignored.

The woman in the silk clothes was slightly stunned, and her smile disappeared: "...... Who? ”

The warm sunlight reflected the skin of this strange boy white and translucent, although he was a man, he was swaying like a thin bamboo in the morning breeze, he seemed to be weak, but in fact he was unyielding, and his sharp eyes seemed to be able to see through people's hearts. The man in Tsing Yi smiled smugly. "It doesn't matter who is down there; Just ask Kotosen to come with us. Is he already lying on a sickbed? The words that hit the heart made the woman stand in place and couldn't move.

Seeing her charming expression mixed with surprise and doubt, the man in Tsing Yi smiled even deeper. "Could it be that I said it was right?"

The woman raised her alert, and her beautiful lilac eyes were already alert. I saw her lips slightly open, as if she wanted to say something, but she wanted to say something. She exudes a cold aura all over her body, and even her frowning appearance is very moving. Subconsciously untie the folded double-edged sword tied around your waist, and the sunlight reflection is particularly dazzling on the long blade. The swift and skillful skill, the serious posture, made the surroundings immediately quiet.

Facing the beautiful woman holding a sharp weapon, the man in Tsing Yi showed a trace of contempt in his eyes, and waved his hand to signal the few guards in front of him to disperse. He smiled and shook his head, "Miss Jing, I am not your enemy, but I have a heavy responsibility, and I have invited a generation of Qin Immortals to cooperate with us in Jingkong Gate." ”

"Silent Door?" It is rumored that the martial arts side is dominant, and there is a peerless secret book, and the master is like a cloud, and the Jingkong Gate is more vicious than the wolf and tiger?

"I have searched for people many times without success, so I have to consult the henchman of the Qin Immortal in the rivers and lakes - Jing Qiushui Jing Girl." The man in Tsing Yi's gaze became firm.

"Henchmen? The idlers on the rivers and lakes are really funny. Reflexively replied, the woman met his gaze without fear, and said thoughtfully: "Since Qin Xian does not want to have contact with Your Excellency, there must be a reason for him; How could a little woman be a mere mortal to bear such a reputation? ”

"Miss Jing is so modest." He said softly, but his tone was stronger. I saw that he waved his sleeves in an instant, and a fan suddenly appeared on his left hand, and then showed a modest and polite smile, "At the same time, I am too stubborn." ”

Jing Qiushui barely squeezed out a smile, his eyes squinted at the ground, and muttered, "How can he be associated with you and other vicious people?" ”

Looking at the quiet and elegant beauty in front of him, the corners of the man in Tsing Yi's mouth rose slightly. Jing Qiushui, officially met her face-to-face today, Qin Sheng's beloved disciple, is really stubborn and strong.

Jing Qiushui lowered his eyes and pondered for a moment. Qin Sheng has always been clean and self-conscious, not contaminated with the spirit of the world, with his solitary character...... Could it be an enemy?

When she opened her eyes again, the man in Tsing Yi had already appeared within two steps of her, only a stone's throw away. This skill! The woman in silk was secretly shocked in her heart, and her body shook slightly, "Hmm! "I suddenly felt numb in my limbs and couldn't move.

His skin is the kind of white skin that does not see the sun, the abundance is handsome, the jade tree is in the wind, the demeanor of a noble son, gentle as water, not alarmed, his smile makes people feel like a spring breeze, but faintly exudes a piercing chill.

The man in Tsing Yi gradually approached Jing Qiushui. He muttered to himself, staring at the girl in front of him like a work of art, his voice was very soft, but there was a hint of threat: "What a rare beautiful face......

"Smack!" The girl suddenly struck with a backhand and slapped him violently! A red mark appeared on her forehead.

Yanqi appeared!

"This immobilization needle can hold a fierce horse, Miss Jing, are you too strong?" The man in Tsing Yi took a few steps back and fanned the fan fiercely, and several needles flew out of the fan, which was easily dodged by Yanqi.

Seeing that this trick was ineffective, he couldn't help but be full of gloom, and said angrily: "You demon girl! What kind of power is used?! ”

Yan Qi held the double-headed sword in his hand, and turned around gorgeously, only to see several tall subordinates who followed him fall to the ground one by one, unconscious.

"Just a few losers? I thought you could have some great tricks! The sword body in the sun was particularly dazzling, and the man in Tsing Yi found that the girl's eyes were darker than just now, and her eyes were colder than just now.

"I've looked into you, I know you used to be a kind and deceitful little girl, but now you're a powerful and invincible goddess of revenge." There were a lot of rumors about the disciple of the Qin Holy Maiden on the rivers and lakes, although he didn't know what specific power changed her, or what kind of power she contained, but he planned to find out, "Miss Jing, so far, are you still hiding your strength in a low-key manner?" ”

His fan fanned lightly, and there was a sweet floral fragrance on his face, "Then I hit my incense, and you will soon be unconscious." Passing by the cheeks, the aroma dissipates. "It's an escape from pain, an innocent slumber. Very few people enjoy such privileges. Have a good dream. The smiling voice was sweet and greasy, as if it had the magic of hypnotizing people. The fragrance crept into my nose, and I immediately began to feel dizzy in front of my eyes.

The vision began to blur, and soon it was pitch black, and the nerves gradually became numb, and the mind could not concentrate at all, and the mind was scattered. The man's voice still lingered in his ears, and he couldn't stop for a long time.

"Out of courtesy, let's let you remember my name......" His impeccable smile, soft voice, and perfect cultivation are all excellent weapons for him to sink his opponents, and all of this shows his superiority and gentleness.

When I opened my eyes again, I was surrounded by darkness that I couldn't see my fingers. After a while, slowly adjusting to the darkness, Jing Qiushui found himself in a cell where he saw no day.

"In Xia Chuxiang, Jingkong Gate. Please advise. ”

Memories are vague and intermittent. Jing Qiushui felt that the nerves in his brain were stimulated, as if he was controlled by some evil force, and he was excited and painful.

"You were frozen by my needle, although I was surprised that you could make a move just now, but from now on you don't want to move even an inch......"

How long have you been asleep? My head hurts.

"Don't struggle so you don't hurt yourself. When the needle poison invades the blood and paralyzes the nerves, I am afraid that no matter what command your brain gives, it will not help. ”

There is only one name in my mind - Chu Xiang, the perfect mask of a gentle smile. That person, with warmth in peace, is by no means an idle person.

The snow dances lightly, and the gray sky makes the winter look bleak and lonely.

The title of prince, Wu Tianxiao thinks he can't afford it. He has always been low-key and introverted, and he is not suitable for the kind of focus that disturbs his peace at all. It's just that I have apprenticed to a generation of martial arts heroes, and now I happen to have the opportunity to visit the Yunni Kingdom Weifu privately, how can I not make good use of it?

Unlike the stubborn second brother, as the eldest son of the royal family, Wu Tianxiao originally wanted to stay in the country, but he still couldn't rest assured that the second brother was not at ease, so he had to come to Yunni Country. Wu Tianxiao, regarded as a righteous gentleman with a chivalrous spirit, demanded a duel with dignity for anyone who dared to challenge his honor. His eyes were cold, with only the words "responsibility" and "task" in his eyes, and he was bent on comprehending his father's teachings and hoping to achieve great righteousness. Wu Tianxiao has a fearless spirit, but she is as cold as the moon, her heart is closed, and her heart has always been locked.

A few days before visiting Jingkong Gate, Wu Tianxiao, who was on the way, passed by the post station in Lulu Town and found a place where no one sat down.

"Shaoxia isn't a local, is he? Although our town is a little small, and the place is a little biased, the wine and delicacies in our store are all of the highest quality, mellow and rich, the taste is thick but not rough, and the aftertaste is endless. Please also invite the guest officer to enjoy it. ”

Wu Tianxiao ordered a glass of wine. Xiao Er responded very neatly, and it was served on the table in a moment. I saw him raise his glass and take a sip. I can't imagine that in this remote town, there can be such a decent wine.

"Yo, isn't this a little girl from the Leng family?" A loud voice sounded in the room, and many guest officials looked at the person concerned.

She was greeted by a young girl, dressed in a dark blue cloth with patches, her scarlet ribbon tied with her inky hair, and her snow-white skin, which could be blown and broken. She was surrounded in the corner by a few ruffians, and when she saw her arms around her chest, tears shining in her eyes. His brows were furrowed, he looked miserable, and he stubbornly put on an angry look.

"Your father owes us the silver in Shenjiazhuang yet!" One of the evil young men spoke.

"My father has passed away! What are you going to do to let me go? ”

"Hey, hey, don't say anything else, your father doesn't owe a small amount, even if you work here for a few years, you may not be able to pay it off! However, our Young Master Shen is very tolerant and benevolent, if you are willing to step into our Shen Jiazhuang from the young master, maybe you can become a sixth aunt, although you are not a young grandmother, we will not serve, but it is several times more valuable than your current girl's life. ”

"It was the bully surnamed Shen who forced his father to death! You beasts! The girl was so angry that she stamped her feet, and she was about to cry.

"Ame! How do you talk to your guests? Do you still want to live here? The shopkeeper scolded coldly from a distance, startling the little girl.

"If you refuse to serve my master, you dare to scold? Being favored by my master is clearly a blessing that you have accumulated over several lifetimes, you hairy girl is too ignorant of lifting! The other thug sneered at each other, his face hideous and terrifying.

"Okay, it's reasonable not to pay the debt! Now add the charge of abusiveness. With your shabby and dejected appearance, you are not worthy of lifting shoes for my master! The other evil young man echoed, his tone was extremely scathing, and he added fuel and vinegar without hesitation, "Just with your father's body and bones, before he died, he used the money borrowed for medical treatment to do some kind of literary and artistic gadgets, what a fool!" ”

"That's my father's life's work, and you are not allowed to insult my father!" Although this girl is small, her voice has risen an octave, and now almost the eyes of the whole room are focused on them, and there are not a few people who are watching the show with a lively mentality.

"Smack!" With a bang, an evil young man shot with lightning speed, and a slap fell on the girl's white and tender face, and a red palm print immediately appeared. The girl touched her beaten face, was stunned for a moment, and tears finally fell in the accumulated grievances.

Many people in the room watched with great curiosity, and some people glanced at them from time to time, but no one said anything to stop them.

"If you want me to say, take out the tattered calligraphy and painting in your house and hand it over to our master to sell, and you can make a few silvers! Hahaha...... "The evil young man who was the first to open continued to attack mercilessly.

"It's scary...... Woo woo......" The girl couldn't cry anymore, but the evil young man who grabbed her hair shouted: "Stinky girl, want to win people's sympathy? This is our Shenjiazhuang's territory, no one dares to squeak, and no one will help you! ”

"That's it, if you can't pay off your debts, you still get from my master as soon as possible!"

"That's enough, stop it!" Wu Tianxiao controlled his anger, only to see him put down his wine glass, and the audience was instantly silent.

"Which green onion are you? Don't meddle on our turf! An evil young man with a scar on his face yelled.

The shopkeeper saw that this posture was wrong, and hurriedly said: "Heroes, we have something to say......

Wu Tianxiao got up unhurriedly and faced the evil young people who were making trouble. I saw him leisurely raise his right armβ€”

"Ahh One of the evil young men howled, and saw that the hand where he was grabbing the girl's hair suddenly splattered with blood, and a flying knife had been inserted into the back of his hand!

Seeing this, the girl immediately took the opportunity to escape.

"Dare to be wild with our Shen Jiazhuang!" Seeing that evil young man was violent, he rushed over and fought with Wu Tianxiao, but he was hit in the chest by the latter's palm, and then fell to the ground, spitting out a mouthful of blood.

The guest officers in the post station panicked when they saw the blood, and the screams were endless, and they fled the scene in panic.

"Don't let that girl run!" The other evil whispered and picked up a big knife and slashed at it. Wu Tianxiao quickly turned sideways, skillfully avoided it, and in the next second, the sword snatched out of the sheath and cut the big knife in two! The wicked boy was so frightened that he collapsed to the ground, and his whole body convulsed with fear.

The boss hid under the table and didn't dare to get up. Wu Tianxiao indifferently put the silver two on the table. "Boss, please accept this compensation."

When Wu Tianxiao came out of the post station, the snow covered the entire town, and the winter sun was a little dazzling, and the snow was white.

"Young man, please stay!"

Hearing this, he turned his head. Outside the stable not far away, a delicate figure walked in, which turned out to be the girl in cloth.

"Thank you for saving me." The corners of her mouth were bloodstained from being beaten, but her eyes were bright and sincere.

Wu Tianxiao nodded and was silent.

"May I ask the young man's name?" The girl was a little timid, but her eyes were firm.

"I'm going to Cloud Leaf City for an adventure." When the girl heard this, her body trembled violently, as if it was a piercing pain. Was it intimidated by his powerful aura? It's really embarrassing for a little girl. Wu Tianxiao has always been chivalrous but doesn't care about fame, "Forget the name, I never leave a name." ”

The girl looked straight at him.

"Anyway, girl, you shouldn't stay here for long. Have you been anywhere else? ”

"No, never." The girl was unmoved.

"You don't believe me, do you?"

The girl was still not moved.

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Well, in fact, what is missing there is a beauty like you. Wu Tianxiao said a joke.

The girl blushed, her eyes changed from ignorance to affection, and she couldn't hide her joy.

"When will I see you again?" The girl looked at him earnestly and held out her hand.

Wu Tianxiao hesitated, stretched out his hand, and held it gently. He didn't answer, he didn't take it to heart, he just turned and walked towards the door. Before arriving in Cloud Leaf City, he passed through Lulu Town, where he rested for a while at the post station, and there was such an episode. It's still a long way from its destination.
