Three days later, Xunzhou, the largest state city west of Kyoto.

Xunzhou is backed by the Xunshan Mountain Range, the Gobi Desert to the west of Xunshan Mountain, the products are scarce, there are mountains to the east of Xunshan to block the wind and sand, the rain is abundant, the light is sufficient, it is rich in products, and there are many minerals buried under the Xunshan Mountain Range, the minerals of the military department are mostly mined from here, only the richest Yangzhou in Yuanzhao, it is the largest business center in the west of Yuanzhao Kingdom, and there are many caravans.

As soon as the sky was bright, two fast horses carried all the way into Xunzhou City.

Both of them were dressed in plain cotton and linen short clothes, and they looked like businessmen, dismounting extremely neatly, and their momentum was very different from ordinary people.

After the two entered the city, they didn't wander around, but went straight to Xunzhou City's biggest fireworks place, Dream Tower.

The land of fireworks is generally not for business during the day, and the girls in the building always need to rest after tossing all night, otherwise how can they serve good guests at night?

Zhao Qi knocked on the door for a while, and the guy in the building slowly swallowed down and opened the door, yawning, and he didn't look at it, and he didn't see that anyone was scolding: "What are you doing knocking on the door in the blue sky and daylight, I'm going to die!" Do you really want to do whatever you want with a little money? ”

The man was disturbed by someone and was not on fire at the moment, Su Li stepped forward and took a gold ingot to the man: "I want a room, and then prepare some hot water, wine and food, let's rest for a while, and leave later." ”

The gold ingots are real, the guy hurriedly took it, lifted his eyes and looked at Su Li and Zhao Qi, and saw that Su Li was dressed as a woman, and couldn't help but be a little wary: "What are you two people, don't go to the inn, what are you doing here!" ”

"Avoid revenge, hurry up, afraid that the enemy will find you."

Su Li said vaguely, and the suspicion on the man's face was even worse: "What enemy?" We're serious here, and if there's really any trouble, we can't do it! ”

The land of fireworks is all about forcing good people to buy and sell for prostitutes, where does it have anything to do with the word serious??

Su Li took another gold ingot and gave it to the guy: "The two of us eloped behind our backs, and we were afraid that we would be caught and soaked in the pig cage, so we only stayed until the evening and left." ”

has been inquiring about the enemy with Lu Ji for a long time, and Su Li's lies are easy to come by, so as soon as she opened her mouth, she only needed one room.

Seeing that she had a scar on her face, and seeing that Zhao Qi was a stuffy gourd who couldn't speak, he hesitated for a while and moved sideways to let Su Li and Zhao Qi into the house.

The Dream Hunting Building is a little bigger than the layout of the Lanyue Pavilion in Kyoto, everyone else in the building is still asleep, the room is empty and there is no sound, the guy stuffed the ingots into his sleeve pocket, and led Su Li and Zhao Qi all the way to the second floor.

"Let's live in this room, hot water and wine and food will be delivered in a while, do you need anything?"

"Brother Lao sent me another set of men's clothes, and the coarse cloth was short." Su Li asked, walking outside, this women's dress is indeed not very convenient, after speaking, she looked at Zhao Qi again, asked silently, Zhao Qi said in a deep voice: "I also want a set." ”

After the words fell, Su Li gave another ingot of broken silver, which was considered a reward for silver, and the guy turned around and left with a sigh.

Entering the house, Zhao Qi put on the door bolt, Su Li sat down, took off her shoes, buckled her shoes upside down on the foot of the stool and knocked them twice, shaking out some sand.

After three days and nights of driving on dry food, she couldn't hold it anymore.

"Why lie about living in a place like this?" Zhao Qi asked in a low voice, he was instructed by Chu Lingzhao to escort Su Li to the border pass and join Chu Huai'an, he had the relevant documents on him, and he could live in the official post station with Su Li openly, so there was no need to be so treacherous.

"Lord Zhao, Your Majesty asked you to escort me out of the city, did you let you listen to my arrangements on the way?"

Su Li asked calmly, and did not shy away from Zhao Qi, took off her socks, and blisters appeared on the soles of her white feet, which were worn by the saddle all the way.

Zhao Qi was silent, he was still the deputy Wei of the Military Intelligence Department, although his official position was higher than Su Li, but the dictation did let him listen to Su Li's arrangement, at least during this trip, he was a head lower than Su Li.

sat dry for a while, the guy first asked someone to bring hot water, there was a screen in the house, Su Li didn't pay too much attention to it, and used the screen to block it, and quickly took a bath.

After taking a bath, her body was much less tired, Su Li put on a clean jet, called her guys to change the water, and then asked Zhao Qi to wash.

Zhao Qi's movements were faster than Su Li's, and after washing them out, he put on a short fight similar to Su Li's style, which was not much different from the straightforward and simple image five years ago.

Distracted, Su Li returned to normal, tied up her hair, changed her dress as a man, and just after doing all this, the guy brought a meal.

Su Li and Zhao Qi didn't speak, they each ate quietly, both of them moved quickly, and swallowed the rice almost without chewing.

After eating, the guy asked the guy to take away the plate, and Su Li asked the guy to buy some dry food and come back.

Leaving from Xunzhou, I will have to sleep in the open in the next few days.

After the guy left, Su Li looked at Zhao Qi: "Time is running out, it's just enough to sleep lightly for a while, do you sleep on the bed or on the ground?" ”

"I don't sleep."

Zhao Qi said that Su Li didn't persuade him, and lay down on the bed by himself.

The bed in the land of fireworks is always much softer than elsewhere, and as soon as the body touches the bed board, it unconsciously relaxes, as if eating cartilage, and the heavy sleepiness is also overwhelming.

The eyelids were as heavy as a mountain, and there was a soft sound in her ears, Su Li was already a little confused, and she still struggled to open her eyes for a long time, and turned her head to see that the window was open, and Zhao Qi was standing guard outside the window eaves.

The head was stirred into chaos by sleepiness, Su Li rubbed her face and sat up, and directly started to pinch the blisters on the soles of her feet, and it hurt slightly after the blisters burst, Su Li frowned and squeezed the blood with her hands.

When marching and fighting, it is normal to grind blood blisters, and it is better to squeeze it as soon as possible, otherwise it is easy to fill pus and fester.

I don't know if he smelled blood, Zhao Qi turned into the window again, took out a bottle of medicine from his arms and handed it to Su Li: "Pain relief." ”

When he spoke, he deliberately avoided Su Li's feet, and abided by the etiquette of 'no disrespect', Su Li was not polite, and took it directly: "Thank you!" ”

After thanking her, Su Li sprinkled the medicinal powder on the blister, and the dense pain like a pinprick spread, Su Li gasped, and cold sweat broke out on her forehead.

"According to the current horsepower, it will take at least another half a month to drive, you ......"

Zhao Qi didn't finish the rest of the words, he was doubting whether Su Li could bear it.

When he first found out that Lu Ji was not in the army, he kept hurrying when he came back from the border pass, his feet were covered in his shoes, and his buttocks were torn on horseback, and it hurt a lot if he moved casually.

He is a rough-skinned man who is still like this, how can she stand it when he falls on Su Li?

"It doesn't matter, as long as you don't die, you always have to survive."

Su Li said lightly, picked up her other foot, and pinched the blister to apply the medicine more neatly than just now.

After taking the medicine, Su Li broke out another thin layer of sweat, her body was more weak than just now, she fell on the bed like a mud and didn't want to move, but her brain was weirdly awake because of the pain in her feet.

After being silent for a while, she asked in a low voice, "Madam Zun...... Raw? ”

She had just returned to Beijing and rescued the woman in Lanyue Pavilion, and she was pregnant at that time, and after so long, the child should have been born.

Unexpectedly, Su Li would suddenly ask this, Zhao Qi pursed his lips and was silent for a while before speaking: "Born, the mother and son are safe, and it is a daughter." ”

His voice was a little hoarse, I don't know if it was because Su Li thought of some old things, and his tone was not very happy.

"yes, that'...... Congratulations. Su Li murmured softly, and her last note revealed an imperceptible sigh.

The nuke is no longer there, and Su Li is not qualified to ask Zhao Qi to remember the nuke for the rest of his life, or even not marry for the sake of the nuche.

Reason says so, but the heart is still dull and uncomfortable.

Su Li, who tried her best to restrain herself for a long time, still didn't restrain herself, and asked the things of the year in more detail: "At that time, how many months did He'er have a body?" ”

"Seven months, more than two months before the child is about to be born, she is so happy and hurtful, she can't eat anything, she has lost a lot of weight, but her belly is strangely big, as if she is about to be sucked dry by the child in her belly."

Zhao Qi said a little more, Su Li lifted his eyes to look at him, only to see that his eyes were burning, and those old things from five years ago seemed to be still in front of him.

He's ...... like that But he doesn't look like a ruthless and unrighteous person.

"You...... Did you find Nucleus's body later? ”

Nuke was sunk in the pond, and if no one stopped him, he might still be able to ......

"Nope." Zhao Qi interrupted Su Li's conjecture, he turned his head to look at Su Li, his eyes were dark, like a bottomless spring, cold to the bone: "I was thrown into Jingzhaoyin Prison by the people of Shangshu Mansion, and I was imprisoned in it for half a year. ”

"Then how did you get out of the military intelligence department and become the deputy Wei of the military intelligence department?"

Su Li asked, Zhao Qi was silent again, he sat on the edge of the window and looked into the distance, his side face was cold and hard.

No one knew what he had experienced in the six months of Jing Zhaoyin's prison, and he was reluctant to tell others what had happened in those six months.

Knowing that she couldn't get a response, Su Li was a little disappointed, and unwillingly changed her question: "Lord Zhao, do you hate the people of the Su family?" ”

Zhao Qi didn't answer this question, and instead said: "That incident is not a matter that can be put on the table after all, it didn't take long for her to tie her up in Shentang that day, and she was driven out of Shangshu Mansion by the head, and then I found them, and they all went down to accompany her......

Zhao Qi's voice was calm, with a kind of leisurely eloquence, but his words were full of blood.

At the beginning, one was counted as one, and he found out and killed the person who killed the nucleus!

Except for the Zhao family, Su Bangyue, and Sizhu, the status of these three people is higher than that of others, and naturally he can't kill them without knowing it.

"Then why are you ......" Su Li was about to ask again, but was interrupted by Zhao Qi's deep voice: "It's not too early." ”

He didn't want to talk to Su Li anymore.

Su Li swallowed the words that she couldn't ask, and closed her eyes and brewed sleep.

The body was too tired, even if the thousands of things in her mind were stirred together, Su Li couldn't resist falling into a deep sleep in less than a quarter of an hour.

She didn't sleep very well, and she dreamed of the old things when she was young, she and her second sister had a snowball fight and got sick, and He'er stayed by the bed all night to take care of her.

Sometimes she pretends to be asleep, and she can hear the second sister sitting with He'er and saying that she is too naughty, and she has no young lady's rules at all.

The two of them are obviously still young, and when they get together, they reveal that they don't match their age.

When I woke up again, it was already a little dark, and the dream building gradually became lively, the sound of silk and bamboo was endless, and the woman's coquettish laughter, laughter was in the ears, and it was easy to make people soften their bones.

Su Li stared at the bed tent for a moment before she came to her senses and remembered where she was.

Rubbing his eyebrows and getting up, his brain was still a little drowsy, the window was closed, Zhao Qi was not in the room, his eyes swept everywhere, and a delicate mahogany box on the table came into view, the mahogany box was only the size of a palm, and it was carved with beautiful small flowers, which was very eye-catching, but it was very abrupt to appear here.

"Lord Zhao?"

Su Li let out a low cry, got out of bed barefoot, and the stinging pain came from the medicated blisters on the palms of her feet, dispelling all the sleepiness, Su Li walked to the table and poured a cup of herbal tea, put down the cup, and her eyes fell on the mahogany box again.

Zhao Qi didn't respond, and Su Li heard someone outside humming softly to a long tune: "...... The red gauze drunk and the Lang swayed gently, and the thin shirt swayed the concubine like silk......"

The words are very fragrant lyrics, but the song is a good song, and it is the song that Su Zhaoyue moved the world when he was famous.

I didn't expect to hear it in such a place many years later.

Su Li listened, picked up the mahogany box and gently opened the lid that was hidden, a piece of white pierced her eyes, and her heart suddenly tightened.

Su Li stared at the contents of the box for a long time without moving, and took a sharp breath before she was about to suffocate, and coughed violently.

Inside the mahogany box was a black cloth with a hand on it, which had been fleshed out to be exact, leaving only the bones of the bones.

The bones of this hand are very slender, and you can imagine how delicate the ten fingers are when the owner of this hand is full of flesh and blood.

This is a pair of hands that can play the sounds of nature, the owner of these hands speaks very gently, always has a light smile on his face, gentle and friendly, and is kind and polite to anyone.

Su Li's breathing became rapid, she looked at the hand bones in the box, and her heart was still stirring as if someone had stabbed her.

An Jue!

As soon as this name came out, it immediately took away all Su Li's sanity, she closed the wooden box, opened the door and rushed out!

The lights were bright outside, and there were glamorous sounds everywhere, and some of the gentlemen were already anxious to hold the beauty and do those obscene things in public.

Su Li rushed out with the wooden box, because of the injury on her face, several delicate beauties were so frightened by her that they screamed, Su Li ignored it, and quickly swept every corner, trying to find any suspicious person.

Where is it? Where exactly?

"Ugly girl, you look so ugly and your face runs out and sways around, don't die!"

One of the gentlemen scolded and rolled up his sleeves to teach Su Li a lesson, so as to show his manhood.

However, as soon as he rushed in front of Su Li, before his hand touched Su Li, he was kicked over by Su Li!

They were all looking for fun in the building, and when the others saw that there was a lively look, they all came around, and the man felt embarrassed, and shouted that he was about to rush up again, Zhao Qi pushed the crowd in, and pulled Su Li behind him and looked at the person with a gloomy expression.

The man's face was sallow, and he looked like he had been hollowed out, and he was naturally not enough to see in front of Zhao Qi, seeing that Zhao Qi was very imposing, he was not a person to be messed with, the man didn't dare to make a move, and ran away after two cruel words, causing everyone to laugh.

When they left, Zhao Qi pulled Su Li back to the room, and the old bustard rushed to hear the news, but before he could speak, Zhao Qi smashed a silver ticket, and immediately left happily.

"What's going on? How did you get involved with people? ”

Zhao Qi asked in a deep voice, Su Li kept clutching the wooden box in his hand, looked up at him, and his eyes were densely covered with a layer of bloodshot: "Where have you been?" ”

"I saw that the hour was almost up, so I went downstairs and checked on the horses." Zhao Qi replied in a natural tone, and when he saw that Su Li had an extra box in his hand, he couldn't help frowning: "What do you have in your hand?" ”

"My second sister's hand."

Su Li said in a deep voice, his voice was not turbulent, revealing two points of death, Zhao Qi was stunned: "What? ”

Su Li didn't say anything more, took out the hand bone from the wooden box, wrapped several thick layers of cloth and put it in her arms, as if she was hiding some rare treasure.

Put it away, Su Li patted her hand bones through her clothes, as if to comfort and promise, and then regained her composure and said to Zhao Qi: "Keep going." ”

Zhao Qi's brows furrowed even tighter, and he looked at Su Li for a while, but after all, he didn't say anything, and waited for Su Li to put on his shoes and the two of them went downstairs and left together.

In the middle of the night after they left, a team of dart masters rode a tall horse to the door of the Dream Tower, led by the dart master is tall, not smiling, looking a little scary, but behind him is a tall, eccentric girl!

"Yo, how many masters are going to come in and have fun?"

The man greeted him warmly, and without waiting for the leading dart master to speak, the girl turned over and dismounted, took out a few ingots of silver and stuffed them into the man's hand: "What a pleasure, my brother has just been married for a few days, how dare you do something sorry for your sister-in-law!" We want five rooms and good food and wine, and remember to help us feed the horses! ”

“……”

The man's brow twitched fiercely, did everyone have a convulsion this time? The elopement darts are not in a good inn, but they are in a hurry to live in this kind of place?

"Several, the inns in Xunzhou City are still open, and the inns have not been crowded recently, so there are vacant rooms in any inn you go to, so why ......"

"What! I can't live here without looking for a girl? Zhang Zhizhi raised his eyes and asked lazily, revealing a bit of ruffianism, Zhang Yuntian grabbed the horsewhip and knocked it on her head: "Girl's family talk well!" ”

Zhang Zhizhi covered his head and snorted aggrievedly, and took another ingot of silver to the guy: "If you have to order a girl to live, just call a few to my room, but you are not allowed to seduce my senior brothers and brothers!" ”

“……”

The man's face twitched even more, yes, a group of big men accompanied a little girl to visit the kiln, what kind of world is this?

But no matter what the world is, making money is king!

The man took the money and hurriedly beckoned Zhang Zhizhi and them to go in, and the people inside were helping to lead the horses in the backyard, and a group of people rushed over with sticks and sticks.

"Go in, find that stinky woman and beat me hard!"

The leading gentleman said viciously, a group of people were on a rampage, so fierce that Zhang Yuntian hurriedly pulled Zhang Zhizhi back, Zhang Zhizhi's eyes lit up, and there was excitement to watch.

The guy nodded with a bitter face and rushed over, persuaded him, not only did he not persuade the person, but he begged for a good beating.

Where is the place where ordinary people can pick quarrels and provoke trouble? The bustard immediately called the thugs in the building.

After fighting violence with violence, the gentleman could only flee with people in the wilderness.

Zhang Zhizhi went out for the first time, and he was still a little unhappy, so he pulled the guy to ask, but the guy refused to say at first, and after Zhang Zhizhi gave a piece of silver, he told Su Li about beating that gentleman.

Zhang Zhizhi and Zhang Yuntian glanced at each other, and immediately knew that they had come to the right place.

This dart was an empty dart, and the people who came to support the dart did not say whether the dart would go fast or slow, but only asked them to go to the land of fireworks when they rested.

Jingzhong is now spreading the matter of the will of the Xiaoyao Marquis Mansion, Su Li's sudden departure from Beijing must be something important, Zhang Zhizhi and Zhang Yuntian did not delay, and immediately chased after the more powerful dart master in the dart game, almost did not stop all the way, but it was still a day slower than Su Li and them.

However, Su Li didn't go directly to the Sifang Dart Bureau to find Zhang Zhizhi and ask them to go together, and asked them to take an empty dart trip in the name of escorting the dart, indicating that she didn't want others to know that they were in the same group as her.

Guessing Su Li's intentions, Zhang Yuntian and the others didn't continue to rush that night, and decided to rest and recuperate before leaving on the second day.

At the same time, thousands of miles away, near a border town.

A dilapidated noodle restaurant, the door of several broken wooden boards was blown by the wind and sand, revealing a little dim warm light, the door was blown to make a creaking sound, and the people inside scolded: "What kind of broken noodle restaurant, is the master eating noodles or sand?" ”

It is no one else who scolds people, it is Xiaoyao Hou, who is one of the four treasures of Yuanzhao Kingdom by virtue of his appearance.

However, Chu Huai'an scolded and scolded, and the noodles were still sucking, although this noodle restaurant was broken, the noodle soup was boiled with mutton bones, and it was fragrant and attractive, except for the wind and sand leaking everywhere, I couldn't find anything else.

These days, all the way around, his face has darkened a lot, adding a bit of vicissitudes, but it does not damage his handsome appearance, but is more wild.

"The weather here is like this, Hou Ye can bear with it a little longer, and tomorrow the envoy will cross the border and enter the customs, and then he can return to Beijing." Lu Ji calmed in a deep voice, put down the dishes and chopsticks, and ate a large bowl of noodles cleanly.

Chu Huai'an snorted and sucked the noodles more happily.

Along the way, he was secretly competing with Lu Ji everywhere, and he had to compete with him, but the meals he ate in Beijing were very exquisite, and it was not easy to swallow these coarse chaff omnivorous foods at first glance, and he really couldn't compare to Lu Ji in terms of speed.

After eating a whole bowl of noodles, Chu Huaian rolled up his sleeves and wiped his mouth informally, and naturally burped after wiping it.

All the way from Beijing to here, he is no longer the exquisite and elegant Marquis of Xiaoyao, he is really not particular about rough men Chu Huai'an now!

"It's not early, Hou Ye should rest early."

Lu Ji was about to get up as he spoke, but Chu Huai'an pressed his shoulder and pressed it back, his strength was so great that he almost didn't press Lu Ji off the stool: "Master Hou? ”

"I'll be on duty tonight."

"Master Hou, you don't have to ......"

"Don't tell me no, you secretly told others that those on-duty standing guard skills have been memorized, Ma slipped to sleep, if something goes wrong on duty tonight, if something goes wrong on duty tonight, I will ask myself to cut the lord when I return to Beijing, and follow you here to drink the northwest wind for a lifetime!"

Chu Huai'an raised his voice and took out the posture that he had been unscrupulous before, without explaining any reason, he was more gangsteric than the mountain bandits.

Lu Ji hesitated, didn't shirk again, turned around and went to the backyard to rest, Chu Lingzhao asked the shopkeeper to borrow a hat, and jumped on the roof with his face covered so that only a pair of eyes were left outside.

The wind was more intense at night, and the yellow sand whirred on the door, and it was not pleasant to pat on the body.

The wind was blowing strongly, and the night sky was dark, not like the brilliant stars hanging a few days ago.

Chu Huai'an sat on the roof and the corners of his lips rose slightly, a little proud, he still thought that this side was a land of tigers and wolves, along the way, wasn't he still jumping around? It's just that Lu Ji's stuffy gourd likes to pretend to be deep, he won't use this trick to deceive the little girl's heart, right?

The more Chu Huai'an thought about it, the more he felt that it was very likely, Su Li was the little girl in his heart who was deceived by Lu Ji!

After receiving the envoy group and returning to Beijing, Lu Jiguan was reinstated, if Su Li wanted to go back to Saibei with him, Chu Huai'an wondered if he should also find an excuse to squat here for two years.

Let the yellow sand of Saibei be polished for two years, maybe his piece of beautiful jade can also be pretended to be deep, and he will deceive that little thing again?

Thinking like this, the wind stopped, and the clothes were wrapped in a thick layer of sand, Chu Huai'an shook his sleeves, and the delicate sand particles spilled from the cuffs, and he twisted it with his other hand, his eyebrows and eyes were bent, as if the blank five years between him and Su Li had been filled because of this one.

He has experienced the wind in Saibei, and he has also seen the desert Gobi.

Those years she has gone through with others, he finally got a glimpse of one or two.

Just as he was thinking, the dark clouds dispersed, leaking the soft white moonlight, almost the moment the moonlight poured down, a cold light flashed, almost instinctively tilted, a cold arrow broke through the air, grazing the top of the hair and shooting into the vast night sky.

Chu Huai'an rolled on the roof, and immediately pulled out the soft sword on his waist and shouted: "What person?" ”

As the words fell, twenty or thirty black-clothed men surrounded the noodle shop with a cold broadsword.

Chu Huai'an wrinkled his eyebrows, exuding murderous aura all over his body, but he didn't act rashly, only stared at the person in charge and asked, "Who asked you to come?" ”

"By the order of the Empress Dowager, execute the anti-ministers Chu Huai'an and Lu Ji!" The man's voice replied loudly, and Chu Huaian was so angry that he almost laughed: "Anti-minister? Lao Tzu has only been away from Beijing for a few days, and you should eat sand and eat so bad that your brain is broken? ”

The man didn't mean to talk nonsense with Chu Huai'an, and directly ordered: "The Empress Dowager Yizhi, the head of the rebel minister will return to Beijing to restore his life!" ”

After speaking, the people gathered outside responded to the call.

Chu Huai'an jumped down from the eaves and kicked open Lu Ji's door: "There is a killer!" ”

As soon as he finished roaring, the back of his head was cold, and Chu Huaian subconsciously lowered his head.

With a snap, the jade crown made of white jade was shot by the arrow and shattered.

Chu Huai'an raised his hand and scooped it up, held the fragment of the jade crown in his arms, and flashed into the room sideways, Lu Ji stood by the bed with only his middle coat, holding the arrow that had just been shot at the door in front of him.

"The killer encircled and suppressed, rushed into the noodle restaurant, and Hou Ye's sentry skills have been learned in the dog's belly?"

Lu Ji asked coldly, the relationship between him and Chu Huai'an was much closer along the way, and he didn't pay as much attention to what he said before, and subconsciously trained Chu Huai'an as a soldier in the army.

Chu Huai'an kicked the door, and there were a few muffled sounds from the same dilapidated door, and a few arrows were shot on it.

"You talk to anyone like that? She just came to the border, and you made a mistake and you were so fierce to her? ”

Chu Huai'an took the time to ask, his tone was quite angry, and he threw himself into the bed of Lu Halberd, Lu Halberd took the halberd and raised his hand to poke a big hole in the roof.

He had expected it, but Chu Huai'an was defenseless, and was smashed in the face by the tiles and dirt that fell from the roof.

"Lu Ji! You won't fucking die! ”

Chu Huai'an burst into a foul mouth, Lu Ji had already flipped up from the hole along the beam, and replied to Chu Huai'an's question just now with a long reflex arc: "The sword is ruthless on the battlefield, and I am fierce to her for her good." ”

Chu Huai'an pestered Lu Ji all the way and asked a lot of things related to Su Li, and Chu Huai'an didn't say Su Li's name at this time, and he could also understand who Chu Huai'an was asking just now.

"The sword is merciless? I see you are more ruthless than the tip of a knife! ”

Chu Huai'an muttered in a low voice, and climbed up from the hole in the roof, and the people accompanying him had already become a mess with those men in black.

Chu Huai'an spit out a mouthful of saliva mixed with dust, and his mind was just about to ponder the hidden meaning behind this, when Lu Ji's loud shout came from his ears: "Be careful!" ”

The situation was a little critical, the sharp arrow had already arrived in front of him, Chu Huai'an instinctively leaned back, there was a sharp pain in his jawbone, and his body was carried over from behind the roof by a huge inertia.

The feeling of weightlessness hit, and during the time when he fell from the roof into the air, time became strangely slow, and Chu Huai'an clearly saw the arrow grazing the tip of his chin and shooting into the dark night sky with flesh and blood.

His jaw was numb with pain, and his first reaction was whether he would be disfigured, and then a thought popped into his head.

It's true.

These killers wanted his life, and it was said that they were ordered by the Queen Mother.

He called the aunt of the Queen Mother for more than 20 years, and he was framed for having an affair with Su Bangyue before, and after he was almost poisoned in the prison of Dali Temple, he rarely called her aunt again.

His relationship with the Queen Mother is rusty, but no matter how you think about it, you can't think about it, and you want to kill him by putting a high hat on him!

It's a game!

The moment he fell to the ground, Chu Huaian thought in his heart.

The roof was still a little high, and he was completely carried down by the arrow, and the moment he landed, he stirred up dust, and his back was smashed by the thick ground, and his internal organs hurt a little.

He remembered the white jade hair crown that was shattered by an arrow just now, that was the year he passed the crown, the Queen Mother personally wore it on his head in front of the civil and military officials, he had been wearing it, and kept it properly together with the piece of close-fitting white jade that Chu Liu gave him.

He lived a heartless life, and there were not many things he really cherished with his heart, and this jade crown was one of the few.

Now this jade crown is broken.

Chu Huai'an couldn't tell what he was feeling in his heart right now.

"Zheng!"

In close combat, an inch of spark exploded in front of him, and then Lu Ji roared angrily: "Why are you stunned at this juncture?" Don't hurry up yet! ”

"Ahem!"

Like waking up from a dream, fresh air poured into his lungs, Chu Huai'an coughed lightly, rolled to the side, Lu Ji used his halberd to pick up the knife of the man in black, walked quickly to Chu Huai'an's side, and put his back on his back: "Can you still afford a sword?" ”

Lu Ji asked, Chu Huaian raised his hand to wipe away the wisp of fishy sweetness coughed up from the corner of his lips, and a cruel smile appeared on the corner of his lips: "Don't talk nonsense, Lao Tzu climbing a tree and poking a hornet's nest is more thrilling than this!" ”

After saying that, he rushed into the crowd with his sword and began to fight, and after making sure that he was okay, Lu Ji also concentrated on the battle.

There are a lot of people who come to assassinate, and after killing a batch, a new batch will come in.

Chu Huai'an and Lu Ji left Beijing with elites, but they couldn't stand such crowd tactics.

Half an hour later, the battle could be stopped, the corpses of the noodle restaurant had already been piled up, Chu Huai'an held the sword, his wrist was sore, and the whole person seemed to have just been poured a basin of blood on his head, and even his hair was dyed red and sticky to his face.

He gasped, his vision still red, and he didn't recover from the bloody rain just now.

Lu Ji stood next to him, forming a team in a calm and unhurried manner, counting the number of people, and after a while, the statistics came out, and the people they brought were eleven dead and twenty wounded, and the forty-person greeting team was killed or wounded, and more than half of them were killed or wounded.

The uninjured began to liquidate the bodies, and after another half an hour, eighty corpses were neatly stacked in the courtyard.

A silver token was sent to Lu Ji's hand, Chu Huai'an's eyes moved, and he saw that the token was engraved with a begonia flower.

Today's Queen Mother comes from the Anjia, when she is not married, the name of the boudoir is Begonia, after the seal, the first emperor ordered the Internal Affairs Office to engrave the Begonia flower into the back seal, and later all the tokens of the Queen Mother, there are Begonia imprints.

Chu Huai'an remembered what the assassination leader had just said, they were on the order of the Empress Dowager to take the head of the rebel minister.

Chu Huai'an sat on the ground weakly, holding the sword unsteadily, and the sword fell to the ground with a soft sound.

"Dispose of these corpses first, and after a while, Hou Ye will repair a letter, bring this order with you, and send it back to the imperial city by Zhang Yi for 800 miles, and present it to Your Majesty!"

"Yes!"

The person called Zhang Yi listened to the order and took the token from Lu Ji's hand.

Lu Ji turned to look at Chu Huai'an: "Hou Ye, it is up to Your Majesty to decide whether the matter is true or false, please Hou Ye first write down tonight's events and let people present them to Your Majesty, the sky is about to dawn, and we have to go to welcome the envoys into Beijing." ”

There are Hu people's king Kutar and princess Kuwanyan in the envoy group, no matter what happens in the court, no matter how complicated the situation is, at least in front of the envoy group can not show cowardice!

"If something like this happens to her, will you do the same?"

Chu Huai'an asked another insensible word, and the strange thing was that his mind was very empty now, and the only thing he remembered clearly was Su Lizeng's tearful questioning that night five years ago.

At that time, Su Li cried desperately.

After returning to Beijing this time, Su Li rarely cried, and even if she cried, she was silently crying with extreme forbearance.

Five years is such a long time, has she ever cried in front of Lu Ji? Will Lu Ji comfort her?

The uncontrollable cranky thoughts in his brain, the sound of tearing clothes in his ears sounded, Lu Ji tore off the hem of his clothes and threw a piece of cloth to him: "There is just blood, Master Hou will use it." ”

“……”

Chu Huai'an's expression froze for a moment, and then he didn't speak again, and wrote a blood letter with blood all over his body.

The content of the blood book is simple and rude: Your Majesty, there are eighty bastards who chased after me and said that they wanted to kill me and Lu Ji by the order of the Queen Mother, we all slaughtered people, and found a token, please ask Your Majesty if the Queen Mother did not accidentally get rid of this token, the old man is inevitably confused when he is old, and it is better to keep such valuable things properly in the future!

The moment he saw the token, Chu Huai'an was actually angry in his heart, but after writing the blood book, he found that the words on it were deliberately relaxed, and he had even found a very perfect step for the Queen Mother.

The token is real, but it is not the decree of the Queen Mother, but someone stole the token and pretended to forge it.

After writing, Chu Huaian handed over the blood book to Zhang Yi.

"Please rest assured, Master Hou, his subordinates will desperately present this letter and token to the emperor!"

Zhang Yi made a categorical promise, and then left the courtyard on a fast horse.

Chu Huai'an watched his figure disappear into the vast night, and lazily kicked Lu Ji: "Do you think this thing is true or false?" ”

"I don't know."

Lu Ji only had two words of hard bangbang, Chu Huaian was not very satisfied with his reaction, and kicked him twice: "How can you not know? The queen mother is a person who can even poison her own nephew and murder her, what can you and I count in her heart? In case she really ......"

"Master Hou, your eyes are red."

Lu Ji reminded that he didn't interrupt Chu Huai'an's words tactfully at all, picking out the slightest sadness in his heart, magnifying it, and then flooding it.

Chu Huai'an withdrew his feet, sat on the ground and refused to move his nest, looked up at the sky and lowered his head to pick at the blood-soaked sand and stones on the ground, and scolded for a while: "Grass!" It turns out that this is how it feels that loyal ministers will be wronged! Lao Tzu might as well die drunk in the beauty country! ”

I was physically and mentally exhausted all the way, and when something like this happened suddenly, it was strange that Chu Huai'an felt better.

"The hot water will be ready soon, Master Hou should go to bed early."

"You're not going to comfort me? Aren't you afraid that I'll go crazy tomorrow and hack to death that guy called Kutar to cause a big war between Yuanzhao and the Hu people? Chu Huai'an said scoundrelly, his eyes were even redder.

Lu Ji looked at him fixedly, his expression was serious, and he was extremely restrained and restrained, but instead turned into indifference.

"No matter what the truth of this matter is, it is your personal grudge, and there is no need to drag Li Min from Yuanzhao Kingdom to accompany the funeral."

Chu Huai'an sat on the ground wrapped in blood, Lu Ji stood, Chu Huai'an looked up at him, the two looked at each other, and their eyes were deep.

After a long time, Chu Huai'an suddenly chuckled: "Why are you more pedantic than the old and old-fashioned Tai Academy, can't you be happy to take revenge once?" ”

Lu Ji looked away, looked up at the bright moon in the sky, and murmured unconsciously: "If Master Hou has seen the scene of countless people surviving like ants under the smoke of war, he will know what I am carrying on my shoulders......"

Chu Huai'an nodded and drew a cross on the ground.

"You want to take care of your family and country, but some people don't think so!"

……

In the faint morning light, a man rode a horse at a gallop, and if you looked closely, you would find that the horse's hooves were covered with a layer of blood, as if it had just come out of a pool of blood.

Sou!

A sharp arrow suddenly fired, and the man on the horse fell, rolling a few times into the grass by the roadside.

After a while, a dozen or so black-clothed people surrounded the grass, and the man stood up with his shoulder on the shoulder, looking at these people with fierce eyes: "Who are you?" ”

The men in black didn't speak, they exchanged glances, and in the blink of an eye, they stabbed the man who had been hit by the arrow into a sieve.

The man who was hit by the arrow vomited blood, and he still had to struggle, the knife in his chest stirred twice, and he was not completely unconscious, but he could only watch as the man in black took the blood book and the token from his chest.

The man in black drew his sword, and the man with the arrow fell to the ground, and the blood flowed silently......
