Chapter 40: Leaving the House

Wen Zhao let out a low roar, jumped and caught Xiao Yao's iron hook with a silver ring sword.

The two of them landed only a dozen steps away from me, and they staggered their moves and became entangled.

I was so shocked that I couldn't move, but I saw Wen Zhao's feet swirling, a body of armor dangling into a cloud of elegant light and shadow, although there was only one person, but it had formed an encirclement of Xiaoyao, he jumped out to the left, a sword, that Xiaoyao's body was not smart enough, and he hurriedly turned to protect his left arm, and he received a sword in his hand under the plate, he couldn't stand for a while, and knelt down on his upper body.

"Traitor! I knew that your brothers and sisters had a nest of snakes and rats, and I should have killed this slut at the foot of Lianyue Mountain that day! Xiao Yao shouted violently, looked at me angrily and said, "I only hate that Lihou Lao'er was bewitched by the two of you, and actually drove me out of the house!" Today, I will take the heads of both of you to vent the hatred in my heart! โ€

"Sure enough, it's you, you separated me from the Hou Ye first, and you failed and framed my sister, it seems that fifty sticks is not enough to make you have a long memory!" Wen Zhao raised his sword and sneered, "I knew that you had the heart of disobedience, Xiaoyao, when I was under Lianyue Mountain, I had the ability to block your sword, and today I also have the ability to kill you, a madman!" โ€

Xiaoyao roared again, bounced up from the ground suddenly, Wen Zhao was caught off guard, and his lower waist flashed.

Xiao Yao seized the opportunity, kicked out with his flying legs, and summoned his lower abdomen in the middle of the temperature. I was horrified to see that Xiao Yao didn't take advantage of the situation to make another killing move, but raised his hand to me to reveal a thin crossbow tied to his forearm, and aimed at it, but I saw Wen Zhao jump up, leaned over and made a circle of silver rings for the sword dance, like looking for flowers in the waves, forcing Xiao Yao's side, buzzing, but it was the silver ring that stirred the iron hook.

The two were at a stalemate, as if they had worked hard.

Under the moonlight, Xiaoyao's hideous face like a beast suddenly burst into green muscles, and he actually threw Wen Zhao away a few steps. However, Wen Zhao's body technique was so light and swift, and he stabbed again when he landed, but he saw that this time his hand was extremely fast, and the sword pierced the death hole of the Yaoyao Gate.

One couldn't dodge, and the silver-ringed sword was piercing into Xiaoyao's spleen. Blood splashed, Wen Zhao added force to his hand, and the sword entered the flesh in two parts.

At the moment before the victory or defeat was settled, he saw that night Yao suddenly turned bruised, and his muscles burst and swelled one by one. Wen Zhao was stunned for a while, and was kicked away by Xiao Yao again.

He wanted to get up again, but he was so shocked by Xiaoyao's sudden appearance that he lost his strength and lay on the ground limply. And that Xiaoyao seemed to have lost his mind at this moment, and frantically waved the iron hook and pounced on Wen Zhao.

With a bang, I saw the two of them holding swords against each other, and their hands trembled violently. I couldn't believe that my spleen was pierced by Wen Zhao, but at this moment, I didn't see that the strength in Xiao Yao's hand had become so great, and in the blink of an eye, the tip of the hook had been forced to Wen Zhao's throat. The latter's face was pale, and he resisted with all his strength, but the strength was really disparity, and he could only let the tip of the hook cut into his neck socket one by one.

A streak of blood flowed down, and I was shocked back to consciousness by the bright red, and I groped frantically all over my body in a panicโ€”

"Ling'er!"

"Ahh

Slowly opened my eyes, only to see that the back of Xiaoyao's head was deeply embedded with the golden dart I had pierced into, and it had become a bloody man, falling on Wen Zhao, who had not yet faded with fear.

My heart almost jumped out of my throat, and I fell to my knees with a limp. There was a faint noisy shout of the government soldiers in the distance, and I didn't have time to think about it, so I pushed Xiaoyao's body away from Wen Zhao. Reaching out to pull it, he found that Wen Zhao's face was pale, but he was already frozen in place, unable to move.

"How... How could he ......? โ€

"Brother! How are you, are you badly hurt? I desperately pulled Wen Zhao's heavy and weak body and said, "Hurry up, now is not the time to think about Xiaoyao, we have alarmed the government soldiers, we must leave here immediately!" โ€

Wen Zhao seemed to be awakened by my words, and he stood up one by one, holding his still bleeding neck with one hand, and pulling me up with the other. He turned around and ran to the hole of the rockery and said to me: "Ling'er, remember what I told you, let's go, go now-"

"Brother, I can't leave you here!" I heard the footsteps of the soldiers outside getting clearer and clearer, and it seemed that they had entered the peach forest and were searching the carpet, "What do you do with Xiaoyao's body, and Hou Ye, how do you explain to Hou Ye-"

"I'm fine, it's just a minor injury," Wen Zhao glanced at Xiao Yao, who was blurred with flesh and blood on the side, and turned his head to me and said hurriedly, "You go quickly, I have other paths back to the camp, and no one will find out that I have been here." Xiao Haruka's body was left here first... In short, you don't have to worry about my affairs, let's go out first! โ€

"Brother... Elder brother! I dodged Wen Zhao's push and said in a trembling voice, "Don't lie to me, can you really get out of the way!" โ€

"Of course, when did I lie to you!" Wen Zhao hurriedly picked up the weeds and opened the secret door, "Quick, listen to my brother, leave me alone, let's go!" โ€

"But your injury..."I have been pushed into the secret passage by Wen Zhao, holding on to the secret door to prevent him from closing, "Hou Ye will definitely find out if he investigates it!" โ€

"You don't have to worry, I'll just make up a lie and fool the past." Wen Zhao quickly got up and pulled out the iron hook in Xiao Yao's hand and stuffed it into my hand and said, "This is the biggest help you can help my brother to take away." Stop being verbose, it's really too late if you don't leave! โ€

There are still all kinds of worries in my heart, but I know that if I don't leave, not only will I not be able to leave, but even Wen Zhao will not be able to return to the camp before I am found because I have wasted too much time.

After weighing it, I finally said "goodbye" and watched Wen Zhao slam the iron door above my head.

Listening with bated breath, he could only hear the sound of weeds covering the ground, the sound of blades piercing flesh, the sound of Wen Zhao rushing away, and the sound of the footsteps of the soldiers getting closer and closer in the distance.

I have to admit that I really don't have Wen Ling's magical memory, I only remembered a rough idea, and I almost forgot the itinerary that Wen Zhao had told me.

Although she doesn't have Wen Ling's good memory, she has fortunately inherited her good skills. Coupled with my previous experience of camping in the Astronomical Society, I got out of the river and ran in the direction of the east.

In fact, where I need to identify, just look at the sky at that end is reflected by the neon lights on the ground like day, and then carefully see which place is the most dazzling, you can easily lock the location of the largest restaurant in Nakari Prefecture.

It is worth mentioning that Wen Ling's body once again lived up to my expectationsโ€”I was as fast as I had imagined, and I didn't feel tired for a long time.

In addition to discarding Xiaoyao's iron hook for Wen Zhao when he arrived at the Huangong River; Passing through Changning Street, hiding in the alley, waiting for the oncoming patrol to pass by; And along the way, due to my suspicions, I stopped twice to look behind to see if anyone was following, but after half a burnt incense time, I almost came all the way to the huge golden signboard of Taopinlou.

Sure enough, it is a different scene in the same city, if the West Market along the way is like a quiet and peaceful rural town at night, then this East Market can be compared to a modern first-tier city.

Along the way, although I saw the luxurious and magnificent official mansions one after another, it was only when I arrived at the four entrances in the interior that I knew what it meant to be drunk and drunk in the peaceful and prosperous era.

Different from the solemn and glorious official residence of Dongshi, Taohua Street is full of taverns and theaters with carved railings and jade, and in this quiet imperial city of Karzhou at night, you can smell a song and dance from afar. The silk and bamboo string music of the mountains and rivers, or the beautiful sound of laughter and scolding, are all full of guests and are very lively.

Looking at the most magnificent peach sales building on the street in front of me, I thought of Hou Ye for no reason, he was an old minister of the country who had gone through three dynasties, and at this age he should have lived a prosperous life. But he is still conscientious every day, tired of running for the government and for me.

And how many people are also courtiers who are happy to linger on the Peach Blossom Street in the East Market at this moment, or beauties, or drink wine and listen to the piano, completely forget about the responsibilities of the ministers, and push all the government to a septuagenarian who has not enjoyed a day of happiness?

"Dare to ask, are you Miss Lian?"

Suddenly detached from the confusion and confusion of thoughts, I saw a small man standing in front of me, smiling earnestly at me.

"Yes, I'm... Who are you? โ€

"Well, I've finally got you! The little one was sent by the main mother to greet Miss Lian at the main gate. The little guy smiled, "It's cold outside, what are you doing standing in this tuyere, come in with the villain, the master mother is waiting for you to be in a hurry!" โ€

I felt cold and stiff when I felt cold and stiff, so I hurriedly followed the little guy up the steps.

As soon as you enter the door of the building, you will be greeted by the warm aroma of wine and rouge. I looked at it, but I saw that the building was so spacious and magnificent, rich and luxurious.

The lobby with carved white marble floor tiles can accommodate 1,000 people widely, and the scattered seats are lined up one after another, and a huge ten-petal gilded lotus stage is clustered in the center. The two musicians were dancing with the pipa in their arms, attracting thousands of guests and spectators in the audience. There are people on the major tables to accompany the wine and make fun of it, and sometimes there are small servants passing the dishes and wine interspersed in the meantime, although it is chaotic and noisy, but it is also not chaotic, and everyone has their own fun.

"Girl, take care of your steps, please go upstairs with the little one."

I looked away from the splendid beauty of the first room, but I saw that I had been led to the corner of the lobby by the little maid, and in front of me was a row of stairs paved with embroidered gold threads and butterfly carpets, and up to the second floor.

I looked up at the mural of the flying fairy in luminous pastel, but I saw that the building was six stories high, and I couldn't see the intricate pattern on the colorful glass cover that faintly cast a beam of light on the dome.

I followed the little guy up the spiral staircase to the fourth floor, and then I turned west, and there was a red-painted and green-tiled eighteen-pillar bridge leading straight to another equally magnificent building behind me.

Different from the front building, this building does not have the chaos and noise of suitable talents, but it is an elegant and simple guqin accompanied by the smell of sandalwood and white tea. Passing through the middle building is another overpass, which is the most noble and private back building of the Taopin Building.

I went up two more floors with the little girl, until I reached the top floor of the sixth floor, and looked at the first building I passed by when I came and went through the screen window, and the brilliance was still bright, but I could no longer smell the flowers, wine, meat, rouge, and the sound of silk and bamboo.

"Girl's hard work, this is it." The little guy led me to the last corridor on the sixth floor, and finally stopped and bowed to me, turning to the thick paper Nanmu gate and calling in a low voice, "Mom, the girl has brought it." โ€

"And that's it?" The candle shadow in the room flickered slightly, and a very charming high-pitched female voice came with the sound of turning the pages of the book, "Please come in!" โ€

I think my Aunt Hua has very strict rules, although the little girl is outside the door, she first bowed in accordance with the rules when she heard the order, and then gently pushed open the door and said "please" to me, before bowing and retreating. I watched his figure disappear around the corner of the hallway, and then looked back into the depths of the flickering candle flame inside the door, and felt a little nervous for no reason. I only took a deep breath and walked in.
