Chapter 20: Between Life and Death
"Shangguan Zizhen, no wonder, no wonder." Xiao Bai looked at Shangguan Zizhen in his eyes, and now he finally understood why Shangguan Zizhen looked down on him so much, it was true that the daughter of Shangguan Xiong, the palace master of Shenyun Palace, could not care about a Xiao Bai, just a Xiao Bai.
"Second brother, let's calm down first." The four princes looked at the atmosphere in the Accord and became tense, as if they wanted to persuade everyone, and slowly stretched out their hands and put their hands on Xiao Bai's shoulder. The fourth prince is indeed the closest person to Xiao Bai, but it is a pity that he forgot that the fourth prince has not seen him for a long time, and people will become, a dagger stabbed into Xiao Bai's waist, and the face of the fourth prince Xiao Ya became evil and cold again.
"Ahem, why?" Xiao Bai slowly turned to look at Xiao Li, and Shangguan Zizhen was also surprised, the four princes, who were previously known as brothers, actually started behind their backs.
"How do you think the second brother will attack you?" The fourth prince said with an evil smile.
"Is it?" Xiao Bai seemed to have thought of something incredible, and his pupils exuded disbelief. And Xiao Yi also had a smug smile, Shangguan Xiong's smile was also very proud, Shangguan Ziqi suddenly spit out the sword light, the four princes were stunned, and the figure hurriedly retreated, carrying Xiao Bai's body and jumping down from the Spring Breeze Tower, rushing towards the Hou Mansion.
"Don't, don't go to the Hou Mansion." Xiao Bai said with difficulty.
"Where are you going?" Shangguan Zizhen said, maybe the Hou Mansion can save him at this time, but why did he say that he couldn't go to the Hou Mansion? Did he think that he would implicate the Hou Mansion, but in the next moment, a figure from Chunfeng Tower swept down, and the speed was not comparable to that of Shangguan Zizhen, and in the blink of an eye, he caught up with Shangguan Zizhen.
"Zizhen, leave people behind." Shangguan Xiong shouted angrily, a palm slapped at Shangguan Zizhen's shoulder, the strong wind in the air was fierce, and it was pressed towards Shangguan Zizhen, Shangguan Zizhen hurriedly waved his sword to resist, the sound of a sigh sounded, and the long sword danced like the wind, but it was skillfully dodged by Shangguan Xiong, and with a bang, the palm slapped on Shangguan Zizhen's shoulder. With a pop, Shangguan Ziyu immediately spat out blood, his body flew out, and the long sword stabbed downward, sneering ......, the long sword actually made a long scratch on the stone slab before stabilizing his body.
"You ought to know, what does he want?" Shangguan Xiong looked at Xiao Bai, and Xiao Bai's face became a little pale at this time.
"I want it, here you go." Xiao Bai took out a token from his arms, the golden token was thrown high by him, Shangguan Xiong jumped up in the air, his figure seemed to be a bird in the air, and he caught the token in the air with great speed. And Xiao Bai hurriedly pulled Shangguan Zizhen away, and walked towards the gate of the Eastern Capital, at this time, the safest thing is not the Hou Mansion, nor the palace, but out of the city, only out of the city is the safest.
The wind was howling, and Shangguan Ziyu was almost dragging Xiao Bai away, Xiao Bai's white robe had been soaked in countless blood, which also meant that Xiao Bai was getting weaker and weaker. His face became more and more pale, and the knife in his back waist was deeply inserted, Xiao Bai never thought that the fourth prince would make a move. If you want to kill him, why didn't you do it earlier, but wait until now, wouldn't it be better to do it earlier? Is it for that token, but is that token worth it, if he wants it, he will give it himself, why bother?
"Zizhen, put him down." On a ferry outside the city gate, a young man in white stood with a white sword hanging from his waist, standing proudly against the wind. It seems that he has been waiting here for a long time, and Shangguan Zizhen was shocked when he saw this person.
"Why are you here?" Shangguan Ziqi's tone became a little gentle.
"Come back with me, his affairs are not up to you." The man said in an extremely gentle tone.
"Who are you?" Xiao Bai looked at him and said.
"My name is Zhuang Lingxue." The man in white said very respectfully.
"Why are you here?" Xiao Bai said.
"You don't need to know." He said proudly, and then slowly pulled out the white sword at his waist and pointed at Xiao Bai, Xiao Bai's life will eventually die in his hands, this is all fate, since it is the arrangement of fate, so be it. Shangguan Zizhen has slowly retreated, she can not listen to others, but she will not disobey this man's words, because this man is her man and the person she loves. The sword stabbed over, Xiao Bai couldn't dodge, he had no strength to dodge, and with a plop, Xiao Bai used up the last bit of strength in his body and jumped into the river, the water in the river was cold and piercing. In the calm water, there were many whirlpools, tearing at his body, and he jumped into the river, and he no longer wanted to live. Is this the life that God has arranged again? Why do you always have to be betrayed, Xiao Bai finally understands that everything can't be trusted, because if you believe it, you will die.
"Why did you go to such great lengths to deal with him?" Shangguan Zizhen clutched her chest, although Shangguan Xiong's palm left her hand, but it also injured her, her heart and intestines were very painful now, but the pain was nothing to her, because she had never experienced a lot of pain.
"You and I are both pawns, so why bother so much." The man in white said with a sigh.
"I don't understand, he's just an ordinary person, and he's just a waste, why bother so much thought?" Shangguan Zizhen said with a puzzled expression.
"Yes, he's just a waste, but he's Xiao Dingwen's son, and he's got the Guardian Token, so it's worth it even if you use any means to deal with him." Zhuang Lingxue said earnestly, and then remained silent. The truth that the husband is not guilty and harbors his sin has been like this since ancient times. It's a pity that Xiao Bai has been seen through by others, and once he is seen through, then others will take away what he shouldn't have. For example, the guardian, from now on, that person accepted the guardian, not to mention, but also got the supreme order, Zhuang Lingxue looked at the calm river, as if his mood was also like the whirlpool under the river, it seemed to be calm, but in fact, it was surging.
The snow wind is howling, the snow is blocking the road, the sky is white, and before you know it, two months have passed in the Eastern Capital, and there has not been a trace of ripples in the Eastern Capital, as if nothing has ever happened. The creaking sound kept sounding, and in the snow, a carriage slowly drove towards the Central Plains from the north, rolling through the snow and making a burst of sound. Although it is a cold winter, the coachman on the carriage is wearing a thin ink coat, the silver plum blossoms on the chest are particularly conspicuous, and the pitch-black sword is obliquely inserted in the waist, which is extremely familiar, he is Mei Er, there is only one Mei Er in the world, and the driver of this car is actually Mei Er. The people in the carriage, what kind of person is it, he actually asked Mei Er to drive the carriage for him, of course in the carriage is Xiao Bai, Xiao Bai in white.
"Alas, the snow is merciless, but people are even more ruthless." In the carriage, Xiao Bai sighed lightly and said.
"You hate the rivers and lakes, and you haven't entered the rivers and lakes in the end." Mei Er heard his voice and said flatly.
"At the age of six, I only had a big brother and sister at that time, why did I never doubt it?" A helpless smile appeared on the corner of Xiao Bai's mouth and said.
"Where are we going now?" Mei Erdao.
"Biluo Valley." Xiao Bai said with a very straight face.
"As I said, Biluogu is no longer there." Mei Er said in a deep voice, hearing these three words, his mood seemed to have fallen to the bottom. The three words Biluo Valley are still loud in the rivers and lakes, but who can know that Biluo Valley has been destroyed for more than 20 years.
"We're here, Biluo Valley is here." Xiao Bai said very seriously.
"After laying out for so long, he's really just for the guardian and that token, why don't I think that's his style?" , Mei Er said with a frown.
"To be able to lay out in fourteen years, it will definitely not be as simple as just for the guardian and the token, and if you want to do this for the fourth prince, I am afraid it is not within his plan." Xiao Bai said.
"Who could push him to such a point?" Mei Er said in surprise.
"Who else?" Xiao Bai said.
"Hmph, it's really not a family, don't enter a family." Mei Er snorted coldly and said.
"The first sword in the world is Chu Zhuang Han, right?" Xiao Bai said.
"No, I haven't compared him yet." Mei Er said with some disbelief in his eyes.
"Make an appointment with him, I want to fight him." Xiao Bai said lightly.
"You?" Mei Er was surprised.
"By your name, I'm dead now, after all." Xiao Bai said.
"Sword, are you sure you can beat Chu Zhuanghan?" Mei Er said with some disbehesitation.
"At least not defeated." Xiao Bai said with great confidence.
"Oh no? Why do you want to use my name to fight, I also have to fight with him, people in the world think that he Chu Zhuanghan is the number one sword in the world, do you really think that I Mei Er is afraid of him? Mei Er's cold eyes were filled with a strong fighting intent. Chu Zhuanghan is known as the first swordsman in the world, and he is only the second swordsman, but he has never felt that he will be worse than Chu Zhuanghan, he always thinks that he is the second swordsman, not because of Chu Zhuanghan, but Xiao Bai, now Xiao Bai in the carriage, Mei Er is from Biluo Valley. To be precise, he was the only one who survived in Biluo Valley, he was only eight years old when he survived, and Xiao Bai was the same, who would have thought that the terrifying Biluo Valley in the martial arts now is actually long gone.
"With my current name, if I go to fight him, how can that person not come?" Xiao Bai said.
"Who told you that people in the rivers and lakes must fight with their real names? Is my Mei Er's name my real name? Mei Erdao.
"Yes, but I'm a nobody, and he won't fight." Xiao Bai wasn't sure if Chu Zhuanghan would face it, because Chu Zhuanghan was the number one swordsman in the world, and the people who challenged him were all famous figures in the rivers and lakes. But those people had already died under his sword, and what about Xiao Bai? Nobody, now take a new name to face the battle, will Chu Zhuanghan pay attention? Obviously, it won't, because Chu Zhuanghan will not accept a nobody's appointment.
"You don't have to worry about this, I'll personally send the battle post, Chu Zhuanghan will accept it." Mei Er said with great certainty.
"Okay, from today onwards, you will be the deputy valley master of Biluo Valley." Xiao Bai said very generously.
"There are only two of you and me left in Biluo Valley now, like a lost dog, deputy valley master? It's ridiculous. Mei Er didn't care at all.
"It's good to have a sect, after all, no one knows how many masters are still hidden in Biluo Valley, after all, in the past twenty years, those people have not died in vain." Xiao Baidao, in the past 20 years, Biluogu has done bloody methods and killed people and exterminated the clan. Xiao Bai already knew that Biluo Valley no longer existed, so why did these people kill people in the name of Biluo Valley, undoubtedly to remove the obstacles that stood in the way, and attribute the deaths of those people to the rivers and lakes, this kind of method is really beyond the reach of ordinary people, Xiao Bai has never admired anyone, but now he admires this person very much.
"You didn't suspect him at all?" Mei Er also asked.
"In the past seventeen years, I have been in contact with the outside world, and I have not seen him much, how can I doubt him?" Xiao Bai said.
"Shangguan Xiong is not such a good person." Mei Er said in a deep voice.
"As long as he is a human being, he has desires, and once he has desires, then he will have weaknesses, and Shangguan Xiong's goal is just the Supreme Order." Xiao Bai didn't care about the loss of that token at all.
"Is it the Martial Arts Supreme Order?" Mei Er was shocked, he was extremely surprised, how could this martial arts supreme order be in Xiao Bai's hands.
"Yes, among the relics left by my father back then, there are two things, one is the Supreme Order, I don't think it belongs to my father, it should belong to my mother, one left me the Supreme Order, and the other left me a guardian. They don't understand the truth that the husband is not guilty, and they don't understand it, no wonder they will die so miserably. Xiao Bai doesn't seem to appreciate it at all, of course he doesn't appreciate it, the Supreme Order is a martial arts thing, and the owner is the leader of the Martial Arts Alliance, who can lead the martial arts, of course, he can have the Supreme Order, and he also needs to have the ability to keep him. As long as that person takes out the token to lead the martial arts, then he has to accept the challenge sent to him by all the masters of the martial arts, he can't refuse, only by defeating those who challenge, can he keep the token, to be precise, whoever can have the supreme order, who is the first in the world. It's not that Mei Er looks down on Shangguanxiong, Shangguanxiong's martial arts may be famous in the rivers and lakes, but if you want to keep the token, it is far from enough.
"Shangguan Xiong's martial arts are not enough." Mei Er said with certainty.
"You forgot about Shangguan Bai." Xiao Bai said casually.
"Isn't he Shangguan Xiong's son?" Mei Er said in surprise.
"Yes, Shangguan Xiong has a son and two daughters, and he can be so deeply involved with Dongdu, I'm afraid that the person standing behind him is not simple, he has been laid out for so long, and he was actually spoiled by the four princes, and now his face must be ugly." A smile appeared at the corner of Xiao Bai's mouth, this chess game had already begun to be laid out at the moment he was born, and it had been carefully operated for so long, Xiao Bai had never noticed it, and now it was suddenly torn apart by the four princes, which was a kind of luck, at least Xiao Bai thought that his luck was very good, he was still alive, and it felt good to be alive, at least he would not be as desperate as in the previous life.
