The horse's hooves clattered, the bright moon hung overhead, and in the carriage, Xue Ling was dumbfounded.

She never thought about it.

Some people's lives can be so wonderful.

and loneliness.

Yes, Shang Jiuge's life sounds lonely.

"But now she's down the mountain?" Xue Ling said softly.

"Yes, she's coming down." Fang Bei said with a smile.

"You see that the hive called on the entire organization to collect Shang Jiuge's information, just to know what kind of character and heart this person who may be the highest in the world in terms of swordsmanship alone."

"Because she never came down the mountain, almost everything about her is blank."

"And for anyone."

"Blankness and the unknown are the most terrible things."

Fang Bei said quietly.

"It's so lonely." Xue Ling looked at the sky and said, "That kind of life is really lonely. ”

Since she was a child, she had no parents and relatives, and she was picked up and raised in the kendo sect, but because of her gender, no one was willing to pass on her swordsmanship, so she could only be self-taught by peeking and secretly practicing by herself, and even so, the seven-year-old Shang Jiuge was able to practice a set of swordsmanship that could almost crush most of Huashan, and then was taught by Shang Lidai's teacher, and became the little aunt of the Huashan faction at the age of seven.

But will you be happy with such a life?

"Perhaps." Fang Bei smiled: "But only someone like Shang Jiuge can really push the sword path to the peak." ”

"After all, she really has no distractions and doesn't fall into the dust."

"But she may have a little trouble this time."

"Trouble?" Xue Ling was stunned: "What's the trouble?" ”

"Who can trouble her?"

Fang Bei looked at the carriage overhead: "Of course it's someone who can cause her trouble." ”

"So we need to help her?" Xue Ling asked.

"Not really." Fang Bei said quietly: "Although she is said to be a person who is very good at causing trouble, there are really few people and things in this world that can really make her troublesome. ”

"Why?" Speaking of this, Xue Ling was a little incomprehensible.

"Because the sword is straight." Fang Bei said lightly: "Shang Jiuge's sword is the straightest and fastest sword in the world. ”

"So no matter how troublesome things are, she also sees the flaws, slashes at the most critical place, cuts open, and everything is solved."

"What if you can't cut it?" Xue Ling couldn't help but ask.

"If she can't cut it, then she will be entangled in trouble, and there will be no way to get out." Fang Bei smiled and said, "But like I said before, her sword is the straightest and fastest in the world. ”

"There are too few troubles she can't cut."

"If one day she is really in trouble, there are too few people who can help her."

"Can you, then?" Xue Ling looked back at Fang Bie and asked.

"I don't know." Fang Bei said with a smile, then scratched his head and looked at Xue Ling: "But, why should I help her." ”

The girl was speechless for a moment.

……

……

Under the candlelight of the cabin, Shang Jiuge quietly looked at the face of the yellow dragonfish.

"If you don't offend me, you won't be killed?"

"Yes." Huang Arowana said without hesitation.

Shang Jiuge smiled: "Have you ever killed someone?" ”

The yellow dragon fish hesitated for a moment, then nodded and said, "Killed." ”

"I've killed too." Shang Jiu Ge said quietly: "Although you may not believe it when you say it. ”

"But your seven brothers are the first time I have killed someone."

Huang Longyu looked at Shang Jiu Ge incredulously, because he couldn't believe it, and because Shang Jiu Ge didn't hesitate at all when he killed people at that time, facing those corpses didn't look like the first time to kill people.

"Isn't it like?" Shang Jiu Ge asked.

Huang Arowana nodded: "Not at all." ”

Shang Jiu Ge laughed: "That's really a compliment." ”

"In fact, I knew a long time ago that the martial arts I possessed could easily kill others."

"But because of this, I also began to be cautious about my powers, trying not to kill people easily."

"Because in this world, there is a very simple truth."

"That is, after a person dies, he will not come back to life."

"No matter how powerful you are, you can kill hundreds of people with a sword, but you can't save a single person with a sword."

"So, killing people is something that needs to be done very carefully."

"Even if I had already thought about it when I went down the mountain, it was very likely that I would kill people when I went down the mountain this time, but I tried not to kill people unless necessary."

Saying this, Shang Jiu Ge showed the Scarlet Night Sword he was carrying with him to Huang Longyu, only to see that the Crimson Demon Sword, which had once shown an astonishing edge, was once again sealed by thick soil and wooden strips, and turned into an unsightly earthen stick again.

"It's easy to kill someone, but it's harder not to kill people."

"But one thing is clear to me."

"That is, when I draw my sword and kill someone, I should have the consciousness of being killed by others."

The girl said quietly, her tone unwavering.

"Therefore you and your brethren should have thought of what happened today when they were kings of the mountain."

"I didn't want to kill you, but I wouldn't refuse to kill because I didn't want to."

Huang Alongyu recalled the sword light that almost scared him out, and the woman's calm expression at that time, and finally sighed: "Dare to ask who the woman is?" ”

At this time, he was at the end of his rope, and he knew that he had no life, and his previous ambitions and even the last thoughts were gone, and there was only a little unwillingness to know how he ended up in such a situation.

"Huashan Shang Nine Songs." Shang Jiu Ge said quietly.

The eyes of the yellow dragon fish shrank suddenly.

"What, you know me?" Shang Jiu Ge looked at him and said.

"If you know that the girl is Shang Jiuge...... Huang Alongyu couldn't say any more halfway through.

And at this time, a noisy sound suddenly came from outside the ship.

The fisherwoman who had told Shang Jiuge that Huang Longyu wanted to see her hurriedly ran in: "Benefactor, it's a big deal, benefactor, it's a big deal." ”

"Slow down, what's going on?" Shang Jiu Ge held her up and asked quietly.

"Officers and soldiers!" The woman hurriedly said in a panic: "The officers and soldiers have surrounded this boat. ”

"And said that we are all remnants of the seventeen thieves of the Yellow River, and they want to arrest us and send us to the officials."

"What?" Shang Jiuge didn't expect such an absurd thing to happen in this world.

Instead, the yellow dragon fish laughed on the ground.

"What are you laughing at?" Shang Jiu Ge looked at him.

"I laugh at the girl's martial arts, but she doesn't understand the world."

"The rivers and lakes are muddy, how can they compare to the muddy water in the court."

"I'm afraid that the muddy water of the Yellow River is not as muddy as one-ten-thousandth of the court officialdom."

"I advise the woman to abandon the ship and run away as soon as possible."

"So that you don't get into trouble."

ps: Monday for collection recommendations.
