(Second update.) ）

Reuniting with Qin Cheng two years later was originally something that Lady Xiao didn't expect. In all fairness, the turmoil two years ago did not leave much turmoil in the heart of Lady Xiao, who has been walking the rivers and lakes for more than ten years. In the end, it was just an unsuccessful mission, although the main reason for the failure was that Lady Xiao wanted to seek revenge on Xue Ping. At that time, although Qin Cheng saved Lady Xiao, it was only a matter of incident, and what Qin Cheng himself wanted to save was only Guo Dongdong's sisters. Lady Xiao took a boat with a tailwind, and she also got such a cheap "grace" as Qin Cheng, in fact, she really couldn't talk about much kindness, and Lady Xiao didn't even say a word to Qin Cheng that night.

But none of this seems to matter, the important thing is that someone found Lady Xiao a few days ago and gave her a very well-paid task, and she couldn't refuse this task, because the people behind the person who came couldn't afford to offend. Although this mission has some meaning of revenge and immorality, morality is undoubtedly a luxury for a woman who has been walking alone since the age of thirteen and has tasted the bitterness and bitterness of the world. So Lady Xiao agreed without hesitation.

To say hesitation, what Lady Xiao thinks about the most is whether she will be crossed by the other party after the task is completed, because the other party has the strength that does not need to care about her, and there is also a reason to give up on her - Qin Cheng is the second-rank general of the imperial court after all.

But this is actually a proposition without a choice, the weak character of Lady Xiao can only accept the arrangement of fate, although in her heart she is extremely resentful of this arrangement, but people in the rivers and lakes can't help themselves, and how many people can really control their own destiny?

Even the people of the world, how many people can control their own destiny?

The screams outside the courtyard sounded from time to time, and Lady Xiao could imagine how tragic the fight outside was, and Lady Xiao, who was pale, suddenly found herself like a joke, in this battle between Qin Cheng and the other party, her identity as a chess piece was extremely embarrassing, because no matter who wins, she will inevitably fall into the fate.

Melancholy:

Ten years of rivers and lakes, broken courtyards and huts, unable to settle down; A guqin, winter snow and summer thunder and shadow live. The rainstorm hit in the middle of the night, and I had no sleep to complain to myself.

......

Scarface's proprietor should be quite cautious, even if he has arranged for Lady Xiao to drug Qin Cheng, but there are a lot of people brought by Scarface, there are four or five people who broke into the house with Scarface before, and there are a lot of arrangements inside and outside the courtyard, and there must be more than a dozen swordsmen up and down.

When Qin Cheng rushed out of the house, it was already dusk, and the sky was gradually darkening, but there was still no problem with vision, and there was no need to worry too much about being plotted by someone from the dark. Besides, when Qin Cheng rushed out of the courtyard, those swordsmen and swordsmen were also a little nervous, they should have been afraid that he would run away, because they all surrounded him to intercept him.

The yard is not large, only one zhang square, and the place occupied by the well must be removed, and the activity space is limited in general, but it is obviously more open than in the house. If Qin Cheng wasn't afraid that these people would set fire to the house and trap him inside, he wouldn't be willing to run into the courtyard to face the siege of these people, but fortunately, the courtyard was not too big, so he wouldn't be too passive. In addition, this is Chang'an City, and not only are there archers ambushing nearby. In Chang'an City, if non-military people could blatantly use bows and arrows, Liu Che's emperor would not have to do it.

However, these people were more carefully arranged, and the fight was in full swing here, and there was nothing wrong with the surrounding residential houses, and no one shouted to report to the official.

Lady Xiao didn't go out from beginning to end, maybe it was because the situation she faced was more complicated when she went out? There were two corpses lying in the room, and the previous swordsman who had been injured by Qin Cheng's wrist and snatched the knife had already rushed out, but what was the use of a swordsman with a broken hand even if he went out? Just send it to death.

Lady Xiao didn't touch the two corpses that kept bleeding out with two big holes in their hearts, and they also saw a lot of corpses Lady Xiao, that is, she felt disgusting, and she didn't have much other feelings, compared to the melancholy of her own deep "desperate situation", these lives that have nothing to do with her are worthless.

She walked slowly to the cabinet where Jiao Weiqin was placed, held Jiao Weiqin in her arms, then sat down behind the desk that was still intact, straightened the desk, and put Jiao Weiqin on the desk, sitting dignified.

Qin Cheng Wu killed the enemy in the courtyard, and the swordsmen and swordsmen who fell under his sword covered almost half of the entire courtyard, and it would take a lot of trouble not to step on a corpse at the foothold. There were no more or no less people on the other side, eleven or twelve, and four or five had already fallen, most of them had their heads or arms gone. Those who are used to fighting on the battlefield are bloody and cruel to the extreme.

These swordsmen and swordsmen have good kung fu, there are advantages and disadvantages of small places, and Qin Cheng himself has no less than three swords, the light ones are just scratching the skin, and the heavy ones are deep and visible.

When a drop of blood fell from Qin Cheng's eyelids, a crisp sound suddenly came from the room behind him, penetrating the gunpowder smoke and echoing in the courtyard, with a strong momentum.

It's the piano tone.

Ambush on all sides.

The sound of the piano came from the house. There was only Lady Xiao in the house.

The ancients said that when the two armies fought a decisive battle, the sound shook the heavens and the earth, and the roof tiles fell. Slowly and observingly, there are the sound of golden drums, swords and crossbows, and the sound of people and horses...... Let those who hear it start with excitement, and then fear ......

It can be seen that the shock of the sound of "ambush on all sides" is very infectious.

"Good time!" Qin Cheng fought desperately, shouted, raised the long knife, and killed into the crowd, with momentum like a rainbow.

"Kill!" All the swordsmen shouted, as if they were infected by the sound of the qin, and the rest of them all rushed to Qin Cheng.

At dusk and twilight, the ancient streets and old courtyards, the sound of the piano starts the heartstrings; The figures are intertwined, the swords and swords are shadowed, and the flesh and blood fly and lose their lives; That faction is in full swing.

......

Lady Xiao's face sank like water, calm without the slightest waves, and only her fingers were left to pluck and jump on the strings all over her body, like flying and dancing. Anyone who looks at it will be attracted by her devotion and intoxicated appearance.

The qin song is "ambush on all sides", but why a person who is about to die would choose to beat such a qin sound, I am afraid that only she knows it. But no matter what, Lady Xiao's ten-year career seems to end today, and with it, her life will end.

Others don't know why she beat this song, just like they don't know why she didn't run.

The song did not end, but when it came to the second stage of the "Battle of Jiuli Mountain", Qin Cheng, who was dressed in a green robe that had been soaked with blood, held a blood-dripping long knife in his hand, stepped on the last ray of light at dusk, and stood at the door of the house.

Lady Xiao didn't look up to look at Qin Cheng, just like he didn't know that Qin Cheng had arrived in front of her at this time, in the sound of horses' hooves, swords and screams, the sound of the undulating piano, Lady Xiao's ten fingers were like flying, with fingering techniques such as "rowing, rowing, playing, platooning", and using techniques such as spelling double strings, pushing and pulling the qin music to a high tide.

Qin Cheng's long knife was propped up in front of him, and he looked coldly at the intoxicated Lady Xiao, and did not act for a while.

The sound of the piano was still the same, and neither of them made any more superfluous movements, only one play and one listen.

Dusk was finally enveloped in night, and the sky was completely darkened in the music.

At the end of "Wujiang Self-Killing", the four strings of the piano were "stroked" and then "volat", and the music stopped abruptly.

The end of the song.

Lady Xiao sighed, then smiled slightly, as if she was very satisfied with her playing, when she raised her head and was about to ask the only audience in front of her, how well she thought she was playing this song, her eyes were empty, where was there half a figure?

"Well...... General Qin! Lady Xiao shouted, hurriedly got up and ran to the door to look out.

In addition to the corpses of a dozen or so swordsmen in the courtyard, where are there still half a living person?

Half a sound, Lady Xiao, who was holding the door frame with one hand, smiled sadly, and murmured: "I've killed me for a hundred, why did you let me go?" ”

......

Qin Cheng's figure was speeding in the dark, picking a remote place with few people to walk, and it was not good to be bumped into by someone with a bloodstain, besides, if that Scarface still had an accomplice, where would he have the strength to kill him ten more people if he was discovered?

Don't say ten, even if there is one more, Qin Cheng may not be able to kill it.

So Lady Xiao really wronged Qin Cheng, it wasn't that Qin Cheng didn't kill her, but that she wasn't sure to kill her. Lady Xiao's kung fu must be at a higher level than the swordsman who fought with Qin Cheng just now, otherwise she wouldn't have been in the rivers and lakes and still alive, so if she tried her best, Qin Cheng was really afraid that she would be eaten by others.

So he chose to flee for his life.

Only Lady Xiao, who didn't know why, thought that Qin Cheng was kind-hearted and intended to let her live. As everyone knows, Qin Cheng has always been ruthless towards the enemy.

Qin Cheng gritted his teeth and ran, while secretly observing the direction, until now Qin Cheng found out that he had made a mistake, the huge Chang'an City, he had been running for a long time, and he still didn't know where he was!

There is a small river not far away, Qin Cheng wants to wash the blood stains on his face, although there are not many pedestrians on the side streets of the alley at night, but the blood stains on his face will inevitably cause unnecessary trouble.

Zhishui River is a small river in the north of Chang'an City, which runs through the entire Chengmen residential area and flows to the Weiyang Palace in the south of the city.

If it is placed in summer, there are still a lot of boats on the Zhishui River, or for pedestrians to walk, or for tourists to enjoy the coastal scenery, but it is also a scenery of Chang'an City. It's just that it's winter now, and there are naturally very few boats on the Zhishui River, and at night, there are basically no boats. On a cold day, who wants to blow a cold wind on the river?

Therefore, at this time, a gauze lantern is on, and a small boat fluttering on the Zhishui River is particularly eye-catching. You can vaguely see that the boat is very simple in layout, and the hull is also the smallest one that haunts here in summer.

The ambush on all sides was originally a pipa song, and I borrowed Jiao Weiqin to play it here.
