The sword flickered in the cold wind.

In the dark woods, a small figure, holding a snake handle blade, looked at the man who fell to the ground. "She's been with me for six years" The voice was unfazed, but full of hatred.

"It was you who snatched her away as a concubine, and you also received a reward from the eldest lady of the Crane Mansion, right? Relying on the king of Rui to tour the three southern states, there was no one to protect me, so I took it by force. ”

The girl squatted down and looked at the bloated and obese middle-aged man. took out the blade of the knife, and stabbed it on his body like a whip mark on the maid's body. The fat man screamed in pain in the wind and rain, but the girl stuck his throat with a handful of mud.

"Now she's dead and thrown into a mass grave."

"Are you going to the funeral too?"

In the dark, she was wrapped in a dark gray tight jacket, and the lotus leaf texture on her body was still embroidered by the dead maid back then.

The middle-aged man retched with fear, he knew that Miss Hefu hated the girl in front of him, so he just came up with an idea to make Miss feel comfortable. It just so happened that the manager told the old man to return to his hometown, and he could get a promotion. originally wanted to soar, but now he can't even save his life.

"You should be grateful to the servant girl you beat and scolded at every turn, if it weren't for the simple silver that could be bought, I wouldn't have known that this was your idea." The girl who has been with her for six years was asked by the eldest lady of Hefu to be a concubine for her father for no reason. As a result, before I passed the door, I heard that he was sick and died at home, and his body was full of scars, and there was no intact place.

The middle-aged man hammered to the ground weakly, and the stinking blood on his face flowed into his nose.

"It's not too early."

In the night, a figure walked out. The moonlight was like frost illuminating his heroic face, sword eyebrows, starry eyes, and sharp eyes. He is only eighteen or nineteen years old, but he can see a kind of wisdom and maturity beyond his age.

Without saying a word, the girl plunged a sword into the man's chest and threw the man into the pit.

"It's cheaper for him."

"Yes."

The long wind howled, the handsome black horses' hooves took off and splashed, and a man and a woman disappeared into the deep night......

To say that the most prosperous place in the world now belongs to the capital of Great Xia, Chengping. The people are happy, and the sheng songs are endless, which is said to be the result of the blessing of the lotus mother. Eight years ago, after the first war of Sichuan, the once powerful country Beiyang fell in an instant, and Gu Zi'an, the son of Beiyang, went to Bactria as a hostage. Great Xia suddenly became the hegemon of the eight countries, and changed the era name to Tiancheng.

At night, the moon is bright and the stars are scarce.

In the Great Xia Palace, singing and dancing are leveling.

The glass lamp is lit, and the jade pot is bright.

Meng Yining knelt quietly behind Gu Zi'an in a light blue plain flower brocade robe, but from time to time she would touch the red gold ring beads on her wrist.

The candle flame in front of him was blown by the north wind that rushed in through the cracks, and flickered and flickered. She had no intention of tasting the delicacies on the table.

The sweet and umami taste of wine-stuffed dried shrimp and tofu drilled into her nose, and for a moment, she thought of the flowing water banquet at home a long, long time ago, and the food was fragrant.

Meng Yining didn't like the Great Xia Palace, because it was from here that the order to attack Beiyang was issued.

Earlier, when he was bunning his hair for Gu Zi'an, his hand shook, and the silver crown smashed straight on the ground, denting a piece. Originally, there were no good things at home, and the good silver crown was ruined by herself, and Meng Yining's eyes turned red.

Gu Zi'an sighed, grabbed Meng Yining's cold hand and said, "It's okay." ”

In the staggered hall, the spices brought by Yan Rong's envoy were surrounded by them, and Meng Yining felt very familiar, but there was no trace of leisure.

She quickly took a sip of the tea in the cup, which was clear and fragrant, and the taste was sweet. Meng Yining leaned forward, hoping to get closer to Gu Zi'an, the cold aura on his body was always full of good smell, which could make Meng Yining feel at ease for the time being.

She turned her head sideways and quietly looked at Gu Zi'an's angular and cold side face, and his dark and deep eyes flashed in her mind looking at her.

"Minister, I also brought Yan Rong song and dance to Your Majesty." During the banquet, a middle-aged man staggered to his feet.

The man sitting on the throne raised his hands and flattened his body.

"Xuan-" A sharp voice pierced the quiet night.

Yan Rong has a developed business, and the natural singer is also better than other countries.

Yanrong women may have skin like clotted fat, and white is better than snow. or slightly brown skin with slender arms.

The waist is tied with a silk silk silk of a hundred butterflies wearing floral brocade, and the feet are patterned thin-soled shoes. A long embroidered peach blossom pink skirt with delicate shoulders and long hair.

The new song is gorgeous, drunk and dancing, and the eyes are slanted.

A woman in a camellia white dress held a pipa and looked at the king on the dragon chair with a light smile. Slender fingers plucked the strings, and the deep music echoed through the palace. The night wind blew off her gauzy blouse, and the bright red peony flowers on her fragrant shoulders were revealed.

Between the candles, the light shines.

Meng Yining looked at the singer with her shoulders half exposed, and only thought of the four words "beautiful and delicious".

A smile and a smile, and the eyes are like silk.

Gu Zi'an pretended to inadvertently look back at Yi Ning, who was staring at Yan Rong's envoy, the corners of his lips hooked slightly, smiled, and told her with his eyes, be patient, it's almost over.

Meng Yining remained silent, looking at the flickering lights in Gu Zi'an's eyes, like a vast sea of stars, but there was a smile in his eyes.

Gu Zi'an pretended to be overwhelmed, coughed lightly, and refused the envoy's toast.

At the end of the banquet, Meng Yining put on a sheepskin jacket for Gu Zi'an, and said something for others to hear, "Your Highness is weak, and in the cold winter, if you don't rest well, I'm afraid you'll be sick again." “

"Fine." Gu Zi'an looked at Meng Yining, who was dressed for himself, and said in a low voice, "Let's go, you're tired too." ”

Meng Yining was just about to leave, but was blocked in his way.

The girl wore a mid-collar shirt with an open flower, plum blossom and bamboo leaves, and dragged a skirt with gold and scattered flowers and mist green on a pink background. The golden phoenix-shaped chunk on her head and the agate jade bracelet on her wrist are all a rich lady.

Her red goose egg face stared at Meng Yining: "What?" Your Highness didn't come, but you are more active than anyone else? ”

Meng Yining took two steps back and said in a low voice, "Don't dare." ”

"Forgive me for not daring, and not looking at what you are? Every day in front of His Royal Highness King Rui, I feel disgusted! ”

Meng Yining looked up at her and smiled contemptuously.

This laugh angered the girl: "I am a dignified young lady from the Crane Mansion, you dare to laugh at me?" Raising his hand as he said it was like a slap in the face to Meng Yining.

She has long been accustomed to the other party's flying and domineering, as long as the two meet, there will be no good thing.

"Miss, don't get your hands dirty." The personal maid behind the eldest lady whispered when she saw the eyes of the people around her.

He Miaomiao's hand stopped in mid-air, and she also felt the gaze around her, and let it go fiercely.

Gu Zi'an looked at all this coldly and remained silent.

In the carriage, the two did not talk about anything in the palace all the way.

Pitchers have ears.

It's just that Meng Yining lifted the thick curtain and poked his head out to ask the coachman, why did it take so long to go back home today?

The driver said that the intersection he often walked was blocked, and he had to take a long detour.

Meng Yining let out a sigh and shrank into the car.

The cold wind is howling.

Today, King Xia saw that Gu Zi'an had been ill for more than three months, so he rewarded some precious medicinal materials and pulled back with a carriage.

Since there is the reward of the Xia King to follow, there should be no trouble on the road.

After walking for a while, Yi Ning suddenly felt a little cold, Gu Zi'an took out two plum candies from his sleeve and stuffed them into Meng Yining's hand, "Take it, you don't have it on the table." Sweet and sour, you love to eat it too. “

Meng Yining laughed out two pear vortices and said um. Then he pinched his fingers, put it to his mouth and took a bite.

The taste of sour plum fruit and honey spreads in the mouth.

"I haven't eaten it for a long time, remember ......" Meng Yining chewed the candy, and before he finished speaking, he suddenly felt a chill to the bone.

She wanted to open the curtain and look, but her hand was immediately pulled down by Gu Zi'an. In the dim light of the car, she couldn't see Gu Zi'an's expression clearly.

Gu Zi'an held her hand tightly, as if grabbing a red mark on her five fingers.

Outside the carriage, the clouds were thundering, and the night was dark.

It was crackling with rain and snow, and the sound of raindrops hitting the roof of the car made Meng Yining unable to hear what was going on outside.

A thunderstorm pierced the sky, and the gray tiled houses on the side of the street illuminated by white light.

The sound of horses' hooves in puddles and the majesty of the rain masked the nervous restlessness in the air.

Three or five black shadows suddenly appeared on the bluestone pavement in front of the vehicle. They looked at the two carriages in front of them, their eyes bloodshot.

"Leave no mouth alive." The man in black at the head had a low voice, and the chaotic sound of the wind blew away his last note.

Lonely lightning that illuminates the sky.

With a wave of the man's hand, several of them clenched their black blades in unison and leaped up.

The blade emitted streaks of white light in the cold wind.

In an instant, the cold blade stabbed into the horse of the first car, and the brown horse struggled and roared in the darkness, and the vehicle shook violently, as if it were about to fall apart.

The horse struggled and fell to the ground with a loud noise.

The screams of the coachman and the deafening screams of the horses frightened Meng Yining, and she turned her head to look at Gu Zi'an, looking at his dark eyes.

Meng Yining stretched out her hand to lift the cloth curtain, and in an instant, silver snake-like lightning tore through the sky, illuminating her pale face.

Gu Zi'an grasped the Xuantie Sword in his hand, and his knuckled fingers rubbed against the complex lines of the hilt.

Gu Zi'an frowned, closed his eyes, and was silent for a moment, and when he opened them, his eyes were blood-red.

He gave Meng Yining a calm look, not at all like the weak young man in the hall just now.

Suddenly, Meng Yining was pulled by his arm and jumped out of the carriage.

Gu Zi'an was like a gray dragon that had broken free from its shackles, flying out of the carriage, his face gloomy and his eyes red.

Meng Yining stood next to Gu Zi'an, listening to the north wind howling, flying sand and stones, and clenching the two-foot cold sword in his hand. The blood of the fallen horses soaked the white soles of their shoes and spread rapidly along the gaps in the bluestone slabs, filling the air with a fishy smell.

"Gu Shizi, I've offended a lot." The men in black surrounded Gu Meng and the others, facing each other in the narrow alley.

Meng Yining looked around at the five people, who were either killed or all killed. There are so many assassins, Gu Zi'an will definitely make a move, and they will definitely know that Gu Zi'an is superb in martial arts, and he is not as weak and sick as rumored, but only good at silk and bamboo.

If they stay alive, I'm afraid the two of them won't be able to survive in this Great Xia.

"Ning'er." Gu Zi'an whispered her name, and there was no trace of ripple in her calm voice.

Meng Yining didn't answer, turned back.

The two leaned against each other's backs and listened to the sound of the rain.

The man in black looked at this posture and laughed contemptuously, "Don't struggle, soon." Then you will go to your father. ”

The corners of Gu Zi'an's mouth curled, and he smiled and sneered.

In an instant, the cold sword was unsheathed, and the momentum was like a rainbow. The sword slashed through the cold wind like a black snake spitting letters, hissing.

The blood flashed, and a man in black fell to the ground unexpectedly. The green tendons on Gu Zi'an's wrists burst out, and the sword was stained with red blood.

Seeing that the situation was not good, the man in black grabbed his weapon and jumped up, like a wolf and tiger pounced.

Meng Yining frowned, pursed his lips, his eyes quickly turned slightly, his wrist flicked, his sword fell, and the rain flew away.

The sword goes in, the sword goes out.

A hoarse scream.

Her face was a little pale, and the rumbling rain was accompanied by the splashing of blood. Suddenly, four corpses lay in a pool of blood.

Meng Yining looked at the blood flower and said with a smile: "Na, this rain is the river water of Huangquan." ”

The only remaining man in black obviously didn't expect Gu Meng and the others to be martial arts. Seeing that Meng Yining was just a yellow-haired girl, who would have thought that she would be able to swing her long sword and face the enemy head-on.

"Huh"

The man in black stepped back, threw out the hidden weapon, and was a little flustered, ready to fly over the tiled house and flee.

The white smoke of the hidden weapon filled the front of the two of them.

Meng Yining didn't have time to wipe his eyes with his sleeve, didn't have time to hesitate, and said in a deep voice: "I'll chase it." ”

Turning around, he stepped across the hideous pool of blood and rushed towards the figure.

Gu Zi'an looked at her speeding back and was silent.

Pitch black night, rolling thunder. Meteor-like leaps over the low tiled houses.

Outside the city are winding mountain roads and dense forests. Yi Ning desperately chased after it, but could no longer find the dark shadow hidden in the night.

Meng Yining secretly called unlucky, his eyes drifted slightly towards the dark forest, and his heart palpitated.
