Chapter 8: Encounters in the suburbs
Jinjia City - the suburbs
In early autumn, the suburbs are full of flowers, and the light at noon is refracted to make it even more delicate.
The woman in white stroked the strings with one hand and knelt on the lawn, her posture graceful, covered with white gauze, and the green silk of the waterfall hung down, covering the eyes of the grass.
The cries in the trees, the distant swallows, and the fluttering butterflies did not disturb her, she seemed to be waiting, waiting for someone to come......
The sound of horses' hooves in the distance, gradually moving away, broke the silence.
The woman in white did not raise her eyes, but her hand did not wait, plucked the strings, and played the wonderful music of the forest.
Several fast horses came one after another, and immediately the men were all wearing silver robes and silver masks to cover their faces, and they couldn't see their faces clearly, only there was a little more cold and murderous aura in the air.
"Who's in the way? Why don't you dodge it yet? A man shouted at the woman in white, without any pity for the jade.
The corners of the white-clothed woman's lips curved slightly, and her voice was crisp: "Lang Jun is tired, how about the little woman play a song for you?" The girl's face was like a peach blossom, and there was no fear on her face, as if she was talking to an ordinary passer-by.
The silver-faced man couldn't help but be startled, looked at his companions, and his eyes were full of murderous intent, and without hesitation, he attacked the woman in white in a group.
The jade hand plucked the strings, and the wonderful sound was loud, even if he sensed the opponent's attack, he did not make a mistake.
The silver-faced man flew down from his horse and hit the woman in white with his bare hands, the wind came too fast, and in a trance, several men fell into the grass inexplicably.
The piano didn't stop.
To outsiders, it's funny and weird.
The woman in white chuckled: "Lang Jun, don't worry, wait for the little woman to finish playing this song, and then play with you." She pronounced clearly, but a charming smile appeared at the corner of her mouth.
The silver-faced men all fainted to the ground, only one man was not unconscious, black blood oozed from the corner of his mouth, his left hand quickly clicked on his own acupoint, glared at the woman fiercely, and said, "You actually use poison!" β
The woman in white didn't seem to hear it, and concentrated on playing the song until it was finished.
She caressed the guqin, glanced at the people who fell to the ground, and then got up weakly, like an autumn wind blowing down. She walked up to the silver-faced man who was still awake and said in surprise, "You're still alive?" β
The silver-faced man wanted to open his mouth to scold her, but he couldn't exert half of his strength.
The woman in white smiled lightly and said, "You are a little better than those wastes, but it's only half a catty." After she finished speaking, she was still squatting next to the silver-faced man, looking at the phoenix symbol on his cuffs with beautiful eyebrows.
That's the Eagle Guard's logo.
"It turns out that you Eagle Guards are nothing more than that." The woman stared at the sign as if her eyes were oozing with poison.
She didn't wait for the man to answer, she felt something different, so she couldn't help but raise her eyes, and in an instant, a phoenix needle fell between her eyebrows.
The woman in white felt a chill in her heart, and suddenly forgot to breathe.
"What did you just say?"
He had a silver mask on his face, and he was also wearing a silver robe, but it was not the group of people just now.
When she got up to examine the body, she did not hear the sound of horses' hooves, nor did she see this person, so when did this person come?
But Dark Wind didn't care what she guessed, he withdrew the hidden weapon, and the woman in white also got up to look at him.
"You are the leader of the Eagle Guard, Lord Qi?" The woman asked.
Dark Wind didn't answer, his eyes were cold, and he didn't give a second glance at the dead Eagle Guard on the ground.
The woman in white acquiesced to him and sneered: "My lord is really puzzled, the little woman is waiting here, but you are a step late." β
ββ¦β¦β
The woman in white said again: "I heard that my lord went to leave the country and got a phoenix-tailed guqin." The little girl likes it very much, can you ask for a bullet? After she finished speaking, her right hand went to take the poison powder from her waist.
The dark wind swept away, the footsteps moved first, the woman retreated in shock, the dark wind hit quickly, and the two suddenly fought.
Between the two teas, the woman's veil covering her face fell to the ground, and she fell into the flowers with an embarrassed face.
Willow eyebrows, apricot eyes, cherry mouths, and fragrant beauty appearance, but at this time, she looks miserable.
"Ahem." The woman spat out a mouthful of blood, but there was still a smile on her lips.
Darkwind said: "How?" β
The woman was unwilling to say: "Twenty moves are narrowly better than me, and that's it." β
She wanted to say something more to taunt him, but she realized that the situation was not right, when and when the dead eagle guards were standing there in good shape.
Didn't they get poisoned?
This is impossible, the bitter flower poison is a secret poison powder, there is no solution in the world, how can it be unharmed?
Dark Wind glanced at her coldly, retracted the hidden weapon into the cuffs, and stood to the side.
Only then did the woman see the figure behind Darkwind.
When, again?
The young man is slender and slender, about seventeen or eighteen years old, with a handsome and uninhibited face, wrapped in a black robe, his eyebrows are like a cold pool and ice stream, but there is a playful smile on the corner of his mouth.
He tilted his head and sneered, "You're looking for me?" β
The woman in white lost her mind slightly, and when she spoke again, she was already full of murderous intent: "You are Qi Liangzheng?!" β
The boy did not reply, and was about to turn away.
The woman in white ignored the embarrassment on the ground, just wanted to crawl forward, and shouted angrily: "I'm going to kill you!" β
Qi Liangzheng seemed curious, turned his head and asked, "Why?" β
The woman in white laughed miserably, as if she had heard a very funny joke, and sneered: "Why? If you want to kill you Qi Liangzheng in this world, why am I the only one? β
Qi Liangzheng's lips pursed, his face was indifferent, and he only turned around and got into the sedan chair.
Seeing this, Dark Wind shouted coldly, "Enter the city!" β
The angry shouts and cries behind him, Qi Liangzheng ignored it completely, he rubbed his eyebrows and closed his eyes to recuperate, and the sedan chair slowly drove towards Jinjia City.

"Gonggongzi, I'm really sorry, this phoenix brand already has guests, I'll take you to another private room." Xiao Er leaned over and said in shame.
Gong Xiao sneered behind his back: "Do you know who I want to invite today?" You Jiuzhiwei, is this how you open your door to do business? β
Xiao Er's face was full of smiles, but he unconsciously lowered his voice, "Where is Gongzi, if you don't have your support many times, the business in our store can't be so hot, my shopkeeper has long wanted to invite you." Seeing that Gong Xiao was full of pride, Xiao Er leaned in and whispered, "It's really a seat booked early, this ...... You see, don't let the little ones be embarrassed. β
"Forget it, Brother Gong, it's just a banquet, and it's average where to eat." The voice of the visitor is mellow and high-pitched.
Xiao Er turned his head in surprise, this person looked good, but there was a slight color between his eyebrows, it turned out to be the eldest son of Qi Guo's uncle's family-Qi Liangyun.
This man has always eaten, drunk, and acted recklessly, but he did not want to be so easy to talk about.
"Okay, since Brother Qi intercedes for this little guy, I'll just stop. Xiao Er, go and invite this phoenix-named person out for the master, I want to see whose face can be bigger than the son of the uncle's family! Gong Xiao said.
This Gong Xiao has always been domineering and tyrannical, although he always relies on the name of his uncle's prefect to make a fortune, but he has never been presumptuous in this Jiuzhiwei, and the wine money that should be paid has not been paid once, and the guys in the store have also turned a blind eye, after all, they can't set off any storms.
But he didn't expect him to fall in love with Qi Liangyun, the son of Uncle Qi Guo's family, this famous son of Jinjia City, there is nothing he dare not touch.
