Xiao Shuo sat on the futon, closing his eyes and recuperating. When he heard someone push the door open, he opened his eyes and took a look. Seeing that it was Xiao Zhan sitting in front of him, he was quite surprised, and then relieved.

"Amitabha," Xiao Shuo said as he lowered his head and folded his hands.

"Does the Imperial Brother know how many people died that night?" Xiao Zhan propped one hand on his knees, leaned forward to look at Xiao Shuo, his gaze stayed on the black hair he had put down, "In order to be able to keep your green hair, more than 30 monks died this night, and there are more than 20 dead people in my mansion. They all died because of you. ”

Xiao Shuo listened with his eyes closed, and his heart was full of pain. Ever since the dead soldier of the Zhu family suddenly came to visit him late at night, surrounded his meditation room, and imprisoned him in the room, he knew that something big would happen tonight. But I didn't expect that the queen mother would still be so obsessed and use such an extreme method.

"Mrs. Ren is fine." After a long time, Xiao Shuo asked.

Xiao Zhan looked at him with some surprise, he had always felt that Xiao Shuo's renunciation was just a delaying tactic. Now, it doesn't seem to be the case. He glanced at Xiao Shuo coldly, and said with a smile: "Second Emperor Brother, do you think that if there is something wrong with this Queen Mother, can you still sit here in a good manner?" ”

"Amitabha," this point, in fact, he had thought of it a long time ago. The reason why I asked knowingly was just to reassure myself. Furthermore, in order to determine some things, "The queen mother's risky move was unsuccessful, and she will definitely make a move to draw salaries from the bottom of the kettle." The fourth brother should not be here, but should hurry to the palace. ”

He said so frankly and calmly, it really surprised Xiao Zhan. There were only two brothers in the house, and Feiyun was guarding with the dead outside, so naturally they were not afraid of the walls and ears. Xiao Zhan was silent for a moment, leaned on the armrest on the side of the seat, and looked at him with some doubts, "You should know who she is doing everything for." ”

"Maybe it's for the poor monk, or maybe it's for herself. It's just that it's all outside the body, and I haven't seen through it," Xiao Shuo said as he raised his eyes to look at Xiao Zhan, "Fourth brother, you are also in it now, but I don't know if you are willing or go with the flow?" ”

"Why do you ask?" It's ridiculous to say that the two brothers have never spoken so heartily for a long time. Now, for the first time, this is happening in such a situation. Xiao Zhan wanted to laugh a little, but when he thought of the appearance of the Great Compassion Temple, he couldn't laugh.

"You should have guessed that the queen mother's trick was a long time ago, but you were unmoved. Presumably, either you are confident, or you don't care about the outcome at all. ”

"You guessed wrong," Xiao Zhan suddenly sneered, "This is the handiwork of the Zhu family, and I only found out after I came here." As for Zhu Liangxin's move, I just thought of it. Why is it so calm? Because...... The dead soldiers of the Zhu family did not stay alive. Since there is no living mouth, how can I report it? Even the head of the Zhu family didn't know the news, how could Zhu Liangxin, who was in the palace, make the next move. ”

Xiao Shuo listened to Xiao Zhan's words, only to feel a chill radiate from his heart to his limbs. He looked at Xiao Zhan in a daze, and couldn't say a word for a long time, "Amitabha Buddha ......"

Finally, he closed his eyes with concern. Seeing him like this, Xiao Zhan smiled slightly: "Brother Huang, since I walked in and sat here safely, you should have guessed the end of those people." ”

"It's one thing to guess, and it's another thing to get confirmation from you. So, what are you going to do next? Xiao Shuo opened Yan Lai and looked at Xiao Zhan. saw that the other party's thin lips opened slightly, and only spit out one word.

"Wait."

Xiao Shuo frowned slightly, and looked at Xiao Zhan suspiciously. I saw Xiao Zhan sit up straight, and for a while he tapped his fingers on the armrest of the wooden chair, and there was some helplessness between his words, "Brother Huang." This time, whether it is me or the queen mother, there is one person missing. Now, we're all going to suffer because of that mistake. The queen mother, especially the queen. ”

Xiao Zhan's words did not answer Xiao Shuo's questions, but this did not prevent Xiao Shuo from realizing the seriousness of the matter. He seemed to be light and breezy, but he still couldn't sit still after all. He subconsciously put his hands into fists on his legs, leaned forward slightly, looked at Xiao Zhan intently, and said, "Please also ask the fourth brother to make it clear." ”

Xiao Zhan glanced at him, and after a long time, he said slowly: "Xiao Nuo, our ninth brother, is still alive. ”

Originally, he didn't plan to let Xiao Wusheng know about Xiao Nuo's existence. But at the moment, I'm afraid it's impossible.

"Him?" Xiao Shuo's eyes widened, Rao is he had already made up his mind to escape into the empty door and cut off those red dust pasts, when he heard the news, he could no longer stop his heart, "He ......"

"Those people sent by the Zhu family were not killed by me. Now, he has probably gone to the Zhu family. ”

“…… He did it all alone? ”

"Yes."

Xiao Zhan answered simply, but Xiao Shuo couldn't help but tremble, he seemed to be able to see Xiao Nuo's appearance of being covered in blood with one person and one sword. Such a Shura who crawled out of hell, how could an uncle who was unbearable resist it.

Xiao Shuo thought about this in a distraught manner, and accidentally tore off the string of beads that he was holding tightly in his hand. His body trembled slightly, and he subconsciously lowered his head to watch the disintegrating Buddha beads roll down in all directions. He reached for it, but he didn't know where to start.

In the end, he could only watch as those rosary beads rolled farther and farther, and one of them slowly rolled to Xiao Zhan's feet. Xiao Zhan glanced at Xiao Shuo, who was stunned, bent down to pick it up, and handed it to Xiao Shuo.

Xiao Shuo stared at the rosary for a long time, and finally reached out and took it and held it tightly in the palm of his hand. At this moment, he was a little relieved.

Xiao Zhan stared at Xiao Shuo with interest, he was sure that just after such a short period of effort, Xiao Shuo's state of mind was very different. This second brother of his is much more interesting than before the epiphany.

"What was the Imperial Brother thinking just now? Why is it just for a while, I feel that the breath of people is different. Xiao Zhan asked.

Xiao Shuo raised his head and looked at Xiao Zhan, ignoring the ridicule in his words, "Fourth brother, if you can, please spare my mother's life." ”

Xiao Zhan pretended not to understand the meaning of his words, and only said: "Her life, what the king said doesn't count, it should be decided by the father." ”

After saying this, the two brothers never communicated with each other again.

……

Luo Teng was drinking in his own courtyard, and he unintentionally looked up, only to find that the moon had turned into a blood moon at some point. He snorted subconsciously, only feeling unlucky.

After three rounds of drinking, I was about to go to bed when suddenly there was a panicked footsteps at the end of the corridor. When Lotten heard this, he did not rush into the room, but stood in the courtyard and waited.

It didn't take long to see his left squire in the Imperial Forest Army running in front of him fully armed and saluting Luo Teng, "Commander Luo, something big happened in Vermilion Bird Lane." An assassin broke into Zhu's mansion and had already taken the commander of Zhu hostage. ”

"How many of them are there?" Luo Teng listened to the report of the waiter and immediately ran to his room. He had to put on his suits in the shortest possible time and rush to Zhu's house.

Zuo Lang Wei trotted behind him, not daring to slack off, "There is only one person." ”

"Alone?" Luo Teng paused abruptly, turned his head and looked at his subordinates, "The Zhu family has always been heavily guarded, how can it be that one person single-handedly held the commander Zhu hostage." ”

The subordinates thought that the man was different from ordinary assassins. The long sword in his hand alone is not an ordinary thing......" Zuo Lang Wei pondered for a moment before he guessed and explained, "Commander, this assassin is afraid that he is a person from the rivers and lakes. ”

Luo Teng was stunned when he heard this, and did not ask any further, "You wait a while, I will come immediately," he briefly explained, and then entered his room.

Zuo Langwei stood in the courtyard waiting for him, and inadvertently glanced up at the night sky, only to see that the blood moon hanging in the sky was even deeper and stranger.

……

In the courtyard of Zhufu, corpses were all over the ground, and there was a scene of Shura. 16 reading

The young man in white held a long sword in his hand, and in one hand he held Zhu Liangdong, whose face was covered in blood and was dying, and looked indifferently at the guards of the Royal Forest Army who were confronting him.

"Get out of the way, I don't want to kill innocent people, the only thing I'm looking for is the Zhu family." The young man in white spoke, his voice was calm and clear, but the words he said made people shudder.

His cold appearance caused a layer of sticky sweat to leak from the palms of the guards, and they almost couldn't even hold their swords. Although they are afraid in their hearts, they also know where their duty lies, and they cannot retreat.

What's more, this is still the mansion of Uncle Zhu Liangdong. If they let the assassin go without doing anything, they don't know how to punish the Guards when Uncle Guo recovers. The commander of the leader glanced at the mess in the courtyard, and then looked at the white-clothed young man and said: "Bold fanatic, assassinate the court officials and their families, you have already been sentenced to death!" If you don't hurry up and let go of Commander Zhu, you can still not implicate the innocent in your family! ”

"Commander Zhu," the young man in white lifted Zhu Liangdong's collar and lifted it up again, perhaps because it strangled his neck, Zhu Liangdong, who had not moved, groaned a few times in pain, "Such a pig and dog are not as good, and you are still the so-called imperial court officials." I didn't kill any of the ladies in his family, and the dead soldiers in his family slaughtered how many innocent monks in the Great Compassion Temple, and they even ...... He even tortured and killed an unarmed girl, and I didn't kill his family, but he killed me. Murder pays for life, and it is justified. Is it for the sake of this skin on his body that he does not need to be held responsible? In that case, why don't I take his skin away, and you won't have any opinions, right? ”

"Wait!" Seeing that the young man was really going to peel off Zhu Liangdong's skin alive, the hairs stood up. He cried with a sad face, and said in a trembling voice: "This young man, you don't think twice, you don't think about yourself, you have to think about your living family." ”

Having said that, the commander of the thousand is also a gamble, just bet that the young man with strong martial arts in front of him still has relatives alive, if he is unconcerned and alone, let alone Zhu Liangdong, I am afraid that the lives of these people will be explained here.

"Family......" Ah Yin held Zhu Liangdong's hand and loosened because of these two words. Yes, Sister Ah still lives in the royal capital, she is married to that Song Wenyu, and she looks very happy. If they insist on killing this Zhu Liangdong, will they find out about Sister A's body?

The commander is not good at martial arts, but he is a good person. Seeing that Ah Yin's expression seemed to be relaxed, he hurriedly hit the railroad while it was hot: "Shaoxia, you listen to me, it's still too late to turn back." ”

"Turn back?" Ah Yin raised his eyes to look at him, his eyes became firm after a moment of confusion, "If I hadn't thought about turning back." ”

As soon as he finished speaking, the sword qi attached to the long sword in his hand flashed coldly, and even people who didn't understand martial arts could see this murderous aura with the naked eye. The commander took a few steps back, he knew in his heart that now Zhu Liangdong's life and death were uncertain, and Commander Luo had not yet rushed over, he could not retreat no matter what, so he could only grit his teeth and insist.

The performance of this man with a beard made Ah Yin a little surprised, and it was only at this time that he began to face this man squarely. Seeing that a fight was about to break out, at this moment, a purple-clothed girl fell from the sky and landed beside Ah Yin.

The commander of the thousand years secretly complained in his heart, only that his rescuers did not wait, but waited for the other party's helper, and when he was lamenting his bad luck, he saw that the girl restrained the hand of the young man in white holding the sword, "Ah Yin, go quickly, this place should not stay for a long time." ”

Liuli tugged Ah Yin, but she didn't pull it, she turned her head to look at Ah Yin, and said in a low voice: "Your sister is also here, waiting for you nearby." ”

"Sister ......" As Liuli expected, as soon as she mentioned Ah Jin, Ah Yin reacted.

"Yes, she came, I didn't let her come with me, she didn't worry about you."

When Ah Yin heard this, a trace of struggle flashed in his eyes. He looked down at Zhu Liangdong, who he had been holding in his hand, even though he was unwilling, he finally let go. I saw Zhu Liangdong, who was unconscious, slammed to the ground, and then remained motionless.

"Let's go." Liuli didn't even look at anyone else, she just wanted to let Ah Yin leave this place as soon as possible. The two were about to leave, but Luo Teng rushed over at this time and stood still in front of the sister and brother.

With just one glance, he recognized Ruri. His pupils shrank suddenly, and he stared at Liuli for a long time, but the sentence "It's you" still didn't come out in the end.

"Ah Yin, you go first," the moment she saw Luo Teng's take, Liuli knew that it would not be good today. She sighed softly and protected Ah Yin behind her.

"Senior sister, I ......"

Before Ah Yin could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Liuli, "It's useless for you to stay." The matter between me and her will one day be settled. It's better to choose a day than to hit the day, since it hit today, it's better to make a break today. Be obedient, you go quickly, and your sister will naturally pick you up. ”

“…… Yes, senior sister, be more careful. Ah Yin was silent for a moment, but finally nodded and flew away.

When the Imperial Forest Army saw Ah Yin leave suddenly, he subconsciously wanted to chase after him, and Liuli said loudly: "You officials don't have to work in vain, you can't catch up, even if you catch up, but you will give your life in vain." Or do you think that your martial arts are above the dead soldiers raised by the Zhu family? ”

The officers and soldiers present exchanged glances with each other, only to feel that they had just heard a terrible news: It has always been rumored that the Zhu family is secretly cultivating its own forces, and it seems to be true. It's just that what did the Zhu family do? Why go to the Great Mercy Temple? How could he provoke such a powerful character, this mystery made everyone present only feel like falling into a cloud and couldn't find a clue.

"He's from the Tsutenkaku." This is not a question sentence, since he saw Ruri standing beside the young man, he has already determined it. An inexplicable emotion tore at his chest, making him feel only angry and his eyes a little red. He looked at Liuli's eyes, as if he was looking at a negative man.

Liuli glanced at him, and suddenly laughed, "Commander Luo, what's wrong?" What to eat flying vinegar. ”

The guards standing behind Luo Teng all gasped. Good guy, it's all at this juncture, this woman still dares to speak so disrespectfully, she really didn't take their leadership in her eyes.

Sure enough, a murderous aura erupted from Luo Teng's body. With a gloomy face, he pulled out his saber and pointed at Liuli, "Demon girl, you can't catch it yet." ”

"If you want me to be caught, it depends on your ability." Liuli smiled lightly and said.

……

In the courtyard of the Zhu Mansion, Ah Jin took Ah Yin to restrain his breath and hid in the dark, watching the fierce confrontation between this pair of lovers. Seeing that the battle between the two was stalemate, Ah Jin hugged the pipa in his arms tighter and made a gesture to play.

As soon as she put her fingers on the strings, she shook her head slightly when she saw Ruri facing her. Ah Jin angrily pressed the strings of the pipa and did not move for a long time. At this moment, Ah Yin's condition is not much better. He had completely calmed down and regained his ability to think, only to realize how much trouble he would bring to Tsutenkaku by doing these things in a moment's whim.

"Sister, senior sister, he ......" Ah Yin watched the battle for a long time, and finally couldn't help but speak, "I don't think senior sister has any intention of hurting him at all." ”

"She doesn't, but the other party doesn't," Ah Jin said coldly. She didn't expect that Luo Teng would be so ruthless. She heard the conversation when the two met just now, if Luo Teng didn't recognize Liuli, she didn't believe it at all, "Luo Teng's martial arts are not weak, my senior sister's old injuries have not healed, I am so absent-minded, I am worried about ......"

Before she finished speaking, it seemed that the winner had already been decided. Ah Jin's eyes widened in disbelief as he looked at the scene in front of him, and in amazement, he actually watched the long knife stab into Liuli's body like this.

Ah Jin bit his lip and plucked the strings of the lute sharply. When the cracking sound started, everyone covered their ears, but they still had more or less tinnitus and tightness in their chests. What's more, they even vomited blood from their mouths.

Luo Teng held the handle of the knife tightly in his hand, looking at the blade that had already submerged into Liuli's body, he couldn't come back to his senses, he looked at Liuli in a daze, and even his voice had changed, "Why don't you hide." ”

With this move just now, he was completely sure that Liuli could dodge it, so he didn't stop fighting. Liuli covered the wound with one hand and smiled softly at him, "What should you do if I run away today?" ”

Luo Teng was dumbfounded, he didn't expect that she would do such a thing for him, "You ......" He choked in his throat, and his hand trembled so much that he couldn't hold the handle of the knife, but he didn't dare to move, for fear of causing a second injury to Liuli.

"Draw the sword......" Liuli forced her eyelids that couldn't be opened, "I don't want to be arrested and returned to the court, this matter, let's stop here......"

With that, she stepped back. Seeing this, Luo Teng subconsciously wanted to stop it, but as soon as his hand touched Liuli's arm, he was slapped out with a palm. Luo Teng took the bloody long knife and took several steps back, and he didn't hear what his subordinates said to him. In his eyes, now there is only Liuli who fell in Ah Yin's arms and was dying. Suddenly, a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, he struggled to stand up, staggered forward a few steps and said, "She has cultivated the Rebirth Gu, the Rebirth Gu can bring people back to life, right!" ”

The young man who went and returned looked at him murderously, but did not make a move on him. Liuli was seriously injured and couldn't delay for another second, "That's right, it's a pity that the Afterlife Gu wasn't on her body, she gave it to someone else." ”

After saying this, Ah Yin quickly left the Zhu Mansion with Liuli in his arms.

In the air, there was still a smell of blood. Seeing that the assassins had fled, the commander and the left squire saw that the assassins had fled, and hurriedly stepped forward to see Zhu Liangdong's situation. But Luo Teng stood in place, unable to come back to his senses for a long time.
