Jiufeng asked Shi Mingxuan beside him: "What does that female devil mean by saying just now that she doesn't owe you any more?"

The carriage gradually moved around, Shi Mingxuan sighed, and replied, "Because she knows that the white girl is not dead." She could recognize that you were the person who followed them last night, and followed your trail to find our whereabouts, and she could recognize the White Girl at a glance, but she didn't say it. ”

Jiufeng's face turned red and scratched his head: "Could it be that I was found last night?"

"That's right, your whereabouts were discovered by Yuan Qiuhe last night, and they tracked you to the inn, because the people were not all there, and they were not completely sure, so they didn't do it. However, there must be someone who is secretly watching our every move and knows that we are leaving. As soon as the men arrived, they lay in ambush in this valley, waiting to take us down in one fell swoop. Shi Mingxuan's voice sounded very calm, as if he knew everything.

Jiufeng was half-understood: "Then I still don't understand, since Yuan Qiuhe has recognized the white girl just now, why didn't she debunk us on the spot, is she still thinking about the old relationship with you?"

Shi Mingxuan sneered and shook his fan gently: "She's not that kind of person." I said this just to make me think that she still remembered her old love. Actually, she just didn't care so much about the Burning Sparrow. This time, her mission is to find the White Maiden, bring her back to Thunderfire, and use the Burning Bone Sparrow to renew the life of the Red Fairy. The second boss doesn't care so much about the life and death of the big boss. Therefore, since there is already a corpse of Bai Chu that can be restored, there is no need to fight me to the death. ”

Bai Chu heard Shi Mingxuan talk about the fact that the red fairy killed his whole family in order to continue his life, and recalled that bloody night, and the desire for revenge in his heart became a little more urgent.

Jiufeng finally understood everything: "I see, I didn't expect her to have this kind of calculation behind her back." ”

"Not only that, even if all of the Seventy-Two Assassins of Thunder Fire are dispatched, they are not our opponents," Shi Mingxuan said confidently, "Because I have urgently summoned the nearby Sun Rest Protectors last night, a total of nine, and they are already secretly following us." Just now, if we clash head-on with Thunder Fire, we will also win. ”

Jiufeng admired Shi Mingxuan's resourcefulness: "General Envoy, your arrangement is really exquisite, I really admire it." ”

"Okay, go back and divide your green field into two altars for me, and I should repay you for saving my life today. ”

Jiufeng readily agreed: "It's easy to say, whatever the master wants to drink, I have it." ”

Along the way, Bai Chu was silent, and only Jiufeng occasionally said a few words to Shi Mingxuan, which made the journey seem less quiet.

As the day gradually broke, they came across a mountain farm shop on the road, they stopped the carriage and had a simple meal, let the horses drink water and eat grass, and continued to ride the carriage towards the western Jackdaw Gate.

They walked from sunrise to sunset, and at this moment the sky was like fire, dyeing the white clouds on the horizon, and the continuous mountains were very gorgeous under the golden light of the setting sun.

Jiufeng got out of the carriage, took a deep breath with his waist in his arms, and praised: "It's still our best, even breathing is refreshing." ”

Dozens of courtyards stretch from the bottom of the hill to the top of the mountain, dark brown tiles hide under the verdant trees, and occasionally you can see white walls and bluestone slabs intertwined, and the gentle and clear birdsong lingers in the meantime.

At the entrance, there is a nine-foot-high square stone stele, on which are written in vermilion pen and ink with three powerful characters - Jackdaw Gate, and a line of small characters written below, Anchuan West Border Rudder.

There is a straight road leading to the mountain behind the stele, the two sides are the straight and green bamboo forest, Qingning is subtle, the bamboo fragrance is full, the feet are paved with neat bluestone bricks, walk on it, there is no hustle and bustle in the world, and the unique bamboo wind often accompanies the side.

Jiufeng trotted forward and said to the two, "Two, I'll go first, and come to my room to sit when I have time." Commander-in-chief, tomorrow morning, I will ask Uncle Seventh to open two jars of Qingtian wine in Wanya Pavilion, you can come over early, or I dare not guarantee that I can stay until when. ”

Shi Mingxuan nodded in agreement, and Jiufeng then ran into the forest, not knowing where to go.

At the end of the bamboo forest is a stone staircase up the mountain, every five steps there is a guard in green clothes, long hair tied with a crown, wearing a green jade forehead, all of them are straight, heroic, they see Shi Mingxuan, they all bow their heads to signal.

Shi Mingxuan said to Bai Chu behind him: "White girl, please come with me." The use of light skills is not allowed here, and if there is a violation, it will be regarded as breaking the door and killing will not be forgiven. I hope Miss Bai will understand. ”

Bai Chu nodded in understanding.

He walked in front, she walked behind, and with the mountain wind, stepped on the steps of half a mountain.

They passed through a training ground, where there were boys and girls of twelve or thirteen years old, dressed in white training uniforms, following the slogan of the head coach, practicing basic skills with punches and kicks.

Bai Chu found that the young man in the inn that day was also among them, and as soon as he raised his head and collided with Bai Chu's eyes, his face suddenly turned red, and his fist style was crooked, and he was beaten down.

It's just a little young master who hasn't suffered much, Bai Chu shook his head, didn't take him to heart, and after taking a look, he followed Shi Mingxuan.

They came to a small courtyard halfway up the mountain, surrounded by a bamboo fence and with a wooden sign at the door that read "Nanfeng Courtyard". Bai Chu looked at the wooden sign and read in a low voice: "The night moon is still full in the west garden, and the south wind makes the autumn sound slightly," she sighed deeply, "What a good name." ”

At this moment, the sun has set, and there are square lamps hanging on both sides of the entrance of Nanfeng Courtyard, and the warm yellow light is reflected on Shi Mingxuan's face, like the moonlight, outlining his clear and neat outline.

He looked at Bai Chu calmly, slowly pushed open the wooden door of the courtyard for her, and said, "In the future, you will live in Nanfeng Courtyard, and if you need anything, you can come to me." Tomorrow, see you at the top of the mountain in the rain pavilion. ”

With that, he left the courtyard.

Bai Chu entered it alone, and an elegant square pavilion was built on the left side of the courtyard, and a piano was placed on the stone table in the pavilion. Her index finger brushed the surface of the piano and let out a quiet sound, which warmed her heart.

At the back of the courtyard is a two-story dwelling, made of bamboo, which is extremely elegant.

She found the candlestick from the table on the first floor, held it in her hand, followed the path under her feet, stepped on the second floor of the residence, pushed open the window of the room, and the moonlight fell on the ground, hazy like cicada wings.

After blowing out the candle, she sat at the head of the bed, looking at the moonlight in the room, and the hatred in her heart couldn't help but calm down a little.

Bai Chu lay on the bed and slept the most down-to-earth sleep in this time. She had no dreams until the morning birdsong woke her up.

She fetched a bucket of water from the stone well in the courtyard, freshened up briefly, and was about to go out when she felt someone at the door secretly looking.

She immediately jumped out of the house, came to the door like a gust of wind, grabbed the throat of the peeking thief, and saw a girl in white looking at her in panic, the girl's hair was tied up with a white ribbon, and a peach hairpin was inserted obliquely, her eyes were round, like a frightened rabbit, and she shook her head again and again: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to." ”
