Chapter 12: The Beauty

Dozens of steps away, a red palace lamp could be seen hanging between the branches, and through the hazy and soft light, Wang Yuan saw the back of an infinitely beautiful woman. The woman in white clothes fluttered with her back to Wang Yuan and stood on a protruding stone in the snow, her figure was slender and perfect, her waist was slim, her long hair was like a waterfall, and she was looking up at the full moon in the sky.

Wang Yuan held his breath, no longer took a step forward, the thought of not wanting to disturb the beautiful scene in front of him rose in his heart, hid behind the plum tree, and quietly looked at the woman.

It was silent all around, and under the moonlit night, the snow reflected the clear light, and the white clothes on the woman's body were plated with a layer of white halo, which made it more and more dreamlike.

I don't know how long it took, the woman's clothes moved, the sleeve of her right hand robe was slightly raised, and a cold light flashed from the bottom of the sleeve, Wang Yuan realized that the woman in white was holding a blue light forest long sword in her hand, and she couldn't help but feel a pang in her heart, and she had goosebumps all over her body.

The woman lowered her head, like a water-like sleeve gently brushing the blade of the long sword, her wrist shook slightly, the blue light of the long sword flickered, and suddenly there was a buzzing sound, and the snow on the surrounding plum trees seemed to be shaken down.

Wang Yuan didn't dare to come out, he just stared at all this, only to see the woman's slender waist swinging gently, like willow branches dancing with the wind, and the long sword also slanted diagonally. Although it is fast, there seem to be traces to follow as far as the sword light reaches, such as light and shadow, and streams of fireflies surround the body, making people dizzy and breathtaking.

Wang Yuan looked at all this dumbfounded, under the moonlight, in the sword light, he also saw the woman's face clearly, it was a face of peerless beauty, eyebrows like distant mountains, starry eyes like autumn water, pink cheeks, ice muscles and jade skin, just like the person in the painting floating into the world.

Wang Yuan's heart couldn't help but swell up with a few lines of poetry: "There is a beautiful woman in the peerless generation, living in the deep valley, looking at the city, and then the country." ”

However, judging from the appearance of the woman in white, although it is impossible to judge the exact age of this woman, it obviously looks like she is not very old, and she should be in her twenties, Wang Yuan feels that he has found the wrong person. Although Li Xin'er did not specifically explain Gongsun Lan's age and appearance, as Li Xin'er's master, her age should not be very young, Gongsun Lan has already defaulted to Wang Yuan's heart that she is an old woman on crutches, at least a half-old, and the woman in front of her obviously seems to be wrong.

Wang Yuan hesitated whether he should quietly retreat, because it was obviously inappropriate to break into someone else's house and spy on a young woman, but Wang Yuan found that he couldn't move at all, because such a beautiful and surprising scene had never appeared in all of Wang Yuan's experiences.

The woman was still dancing the sword, her body movements seemed to be extremely fast, but strangely it was clearly recognizable. The eyebrows and lips, the fingertips and corners, every waist swing, every movement and twist seem to be slow to the extreme, but it seems to be fast to the extreme, both dignified and elegant, and graceful and light. It's not so much a sword dance as a sword dance.

As the woman's posture became more urgent, the plum trees around her seemed to be pulled by an invisible force and began to sway slightly, and the falling snow on the branches also flew like flying flotsam, and the snow dust on the ground surrounded the woman in white, forming a thin snow curtain. And the woman in the snow curtain seemed to be singing and dancing lightly at the end of the curtain through a layer of light veil, this scene was simply like a dream, making Wang Yuan's breathing almost stop, and he didn't dare to disturb this shocking moment.

Just when Wang Yuan was intoxicated by the scene in front of him and couldn't extricate himself, a cold cry sounded, but above the slowly rotating snow curtain, a graceful body jumped up in the air, and its posture bent into an incredible arc, reflecting between the full moon, and the silhouette was beautiful; At the same time, a cold light as fast as lightning illuminated Wang Yuan's eyes.

Wang Yuan couldn't help but drink a 'good', but in an instant, this 'good' became a subconscious "not good!" Seeing the cold light rushing in, he tried his best to hide his head behind the plum branch in front of him, but where did he have time, he only exclaimed: "My life is over." Half of his face was cold and numb, and he almost fainted with fright.

With a sound of "plop", a long sword was inserted into a plum branch with the thickness of an arm on the side of his face, trembling and shaking, and the plum tree hiding swayed, shaking all the snow on the tree, and sprinkled Wang Yuan's face all over his face.

Wang Yuan couldn't see with both eyes, and hurriedly reached out to wipe the snow powder on his face, but a cold scolding came from his ears: "Where are the rats, breaking into this place to watch?" ”

Wang Yuan easily let the light regain in front of him, but he already felt a trace of coldness in his throat, Wang Yuan's eyes saw a white and slender hand, which held a sword in that hand, and the tip of the sword pointed obliquely at the center of his eyebrows.

"The girl must not be impulsive, she is entrusted by someone to find someone, and she strayed into this place and saw the girl practicing swords, which is really presumptuous, but it is not intentional."

"Looking for someone? Who are you looking for? The woman asked coldly.

"I came to find a grandson's predecessor, but I unexpectedly disturbed the girl Yaxing."

"Gongsun senior? What do you want her to do? How do you know this ...... Where do the grandchildren live? There was a hint of surprise and coldness in the woman's voice.

"This ...... Maybe I'm looking for the wrong place, so there's no need to say anything, and I still look at Haihan where I am presumptuous, and I will leave. Of course, Wang Yuan refused to tell the truth to irrelevant people.

"Answering my words, who told you that there is a grandson here? Say. The long sword in the woman's hand increased its strength slightly, and Wang Yuan felt that his eyebrows were pressed, although he did not pierce his skin, he felt a slight tingling pain, and was forced to tilt his head back to dodge. At the same time, Wang Yuan also saw the woman's indifferent face from the perspective of leaning back, and the woman's eyes and eyebrows seemed to have a hint of ridicule.

Wang Yuan said: "Girl, be careful not to miss, she is indeed entrusted by others, but please forgive me for not being able to say it clearly." Since there is no grandson here, I will leave, girl, be careful with your sword, and if you use a little more force, I will die. ”

The woman sneered: "What if you break into other people's private houses in the middle of the night and secretly spy on you with bad intentions, even if you are killed with a sword?" You give me a reason not to kill you. ”

Wang Yuan couldn't laugh or cry, thought about it and spread his hands and said, "Is there a reason?" Well...... If you cut my throat, the blood will splatter and splash all over you, so hot and sticky that you can't wash it off, how disgusting is that? Is that enough? ”

The corner of the woman's mouth sneered slightly: "Are you teasing me?" You are not a serious person, and if you tell me the truth, if not, you will be a piece of manure under my plum tree in a few moments. And I'm absolutely sure that if I kill you with a single sword, I won't be splashed with your blood. ”

Wang Yuan secretly complained to himself, and secretly blamed Li Xin'er for not saying it clearly, causing him to find the wrong person and break into someone else's plum garden by mistake. But if you really explain the reason, but it is difficult to talk about it, you can't just say this matter to people, you secretly saved the assassin pursued by Jin Wuwei, and you will suffer a great disaster if it spreads. Wang Yuan thought about it and decided to take a gamble.

"Why should the girl be strong, I have already said that it is a misunderstanding, why bother to force each other. If the girl wants to kill me because she has broken into your house by mistake, then I have nothing to say. The girl is very strong in martial arts, and it is unlikely that I will escape from the girl's hands, so I will have to be killed. ”

The woman in white was very surprised, and said coldly: "You are not afraid of death? ”

Wang Yuan said: "It's not that I'm not afraid, it's that you want to kill me, and I can't escape." ”

The woman pondered for a moment, then slowly put away her sword, and said lightly: "Then let me tell you, the grandson you are looking for lives here, can you tell me the reason?" ”

Wang Yuanxi said: "Really? Did the grandsons really live here? ...... girl? ”

"I'm ...... Her family. The woman said softly.

Wang Yuan laughed and said: "It turned out to be my own person, the flood washed the Dragon King Temple, the girl hurriedly took me to see the grandson's senior, I have something important to see her old man." ”

The woman in white said sarcastically: "She is not easy to see people, unless you tell me what is important, I can help you report." ”

Although Wang Yuan suspected that this woman was using his own words, it was useless for him to insist on secrecy at the moment, the other party could force him to tell the truth, and he would never be willing to be killed in order to keep this secret.

"This girl, I was entrusted by Li Xin'er Li, the apprentice of Gongsun's predecessor, to ask to see her. If the grandson's predecessors really live here, they will ask the girl to report on their behalf; If not, the girl will forgive me for my reckless trespassing, because human life is at stake, and I really can't delay. ”

The woman in white frowned and said coldly: "Entrusted by Li Xin'er? Where is she? What is the trust? She actually leaked my ...... The residence of the grandson's predecessors, is this a dizzy? It's unforgivable. ”

As he spoke, the sleeves of his robe waved lightly, and in a flash of cold light, a plum blossom broke off his waist and fell aside.

Wang Yuan's face did not change, he shut up and looked at the face of the woman, he already felt that this grandson senior must have something to do with the woman in white in front of him.

"She wants you to come here to find your grandson...... What did the predecessors do? Why didn't she come herself? ”

"If she can come, why should I do it for her? In fact, Miss Li was hunted down and seriously injured, and now she is hiding in my dilapidated house. Because she was hit by Jin Wuwei's poisoned arrow, now Jin Wuwei is arresting her again, and she is really in a worrying situation, and she can't detoxify and recover. Miss Li said that only her master and grandson in Chang'an City could detoxify her and rescue her, so she entrusted me to come and report to her grandson. ”

The woman's face changed several times, and she frowned: "She was chased and killed by Jin Wuwei?" How can it be? What did she do? ”

Wang Yuan shook his head and said: "Don't ask me, I don't know why she was hunted down, and I don't know what she did, I just acted bravely and helped." ”

The woman sneered: "I can't see that you are a little chivalrous. ”

Wang Yuan Zhengse said: "I don't dare to be chivalrous, I just can't bear to see a weak woman suffer." ”

The woman in white sneered, "Weak woman? Hehe, what a weak woman. ”

Wang Yuan didn't want to say more, so he reached into his arms and took out an object and handed it over: "This is Miss Li's token, she said that she was afraid that Gongsun's predecessors would not believe my words, so she handed over this wooden hairpin to the next to bring it as a token." ”

The woman in white stretched out her hand to take it, and looked at it in the moonlight, it was a rough wooden hairpin, with mottled knife marks on it, and the wood was originally sandalwood, I don't know if it was old or something, it had become black and without texture. Wang Yuan knew in his heart that this wooden hairpin must be a common memory of a story between Li Shiniang and Gongsun's predecessors, and it may have been given to Li Xin'er by Gongsun's predecessors.

Wang Yuan felt that when the eyes of the woman in white looked at this wooden hairpin, the coldness in her eyes seemed to gradually disappear, and a trace of tenderness rose.

"Girl, now you can introduce you to the grandson's seniors. The matter is urgent, and Miss Li is in a very dangerous situation......"

The woman in white interrupted Wang Yuan's words with a wave of her hand, and said quietly: "You go back, Gongsun seniors are not here, you go back and tell Li Xin'er that whether she is dead or alive is her own business, and no one will help her." Tell her that what she did three years ago broke someone's heart, and that person will no longer help her. ”

Wang Yuan was stunned and said, "Girl...... How to say this. ”

The woman in white looked at Wang Yuan, her beautiful eyes were as cold as ice, and she said, "Why don't you go quickly?" Do you really think I won't kill you? Let me tell you, almost every plum tree in my courtyard is buried under the unscrupulous people who trespass here to make flower fertilizer, and you are never too much. ”

Wang Yuan listened to the coldness in her words, and involuntarily had cold bumps on his body, seeing that the sword in the woman's hand seemed to be raised, he suddenly recognized the current affairs as Junjie, swallowed the words of defense, bowed without saying a word, turned around and left the small courtyard quickly. Walking to the main street of Jinchangfang in one breath and standing under the bright lights, I calmed down a little.
