Chapter 42: The search for love is unsuccessful

Love and hate must be heartfelt, but whether or not you have acted in this way is often unknown. Maybe it's just a delusion, maybe you've never been emotional.

Time flies by in a flash, who are we waiting for? The past is like smoke, but who are we wasting time for? You may never find the standard answer to this kind of question, but at least at this point, you seem to have a relatively accurate short-term understanding of it.

Early summer is approaching, and the matter of Tang Xuanzong's selection of concubines will also be held as scheduled.

Qiu Pengyun was still worried about whether Xu Yuexiao could enter the palace, but he didn't expect that at this time, Xu Ziyan would take the initiative to ask Tang Xuanzong to allow his sister to enter the palace and choose a concubine. And Tang Xuanzong didn't intend to pursue Xu Yuexiao's fault, so he agreed to Xu Ziyan's request.

Why did Xu Ziyan secretly help Xu Yuexiao at this time? It seems that there must be a big hidden reason in this.

Qiu Pengyun and Song Wanting both became ecstatic after learning about this, but Xu Yuexiao's attitude has never been clear. Because she has been thinking about Xu Sicong in her heart, she doesn't want to enter the palace.

Originally, Song Wanting had taken advantage of the leaderless dragon of the silk village to recapture it, and if this matter was added, it would really be a double happiness. However, Xu Yuexiao has been hesitant about this, and has always refused to agree, saying that there is something unspeakable.

It wasn't until one day that Xu Yuexiao once again confirmed that it was impossible for her and Xu Sicong to enter the palace to choose a concubine.

But Qiu Pengyun must first promise Xu Yuexiao a precondition, that is, he must get rid of Xu Sicong and Sui Yuexuan within two months. Otherwise, nothing to talk about.

Because this matter is very important, Qiu Pengyun didn't want to interfere. However, for the sake of his own good future, in order to prevent himself from being helpless in the second half of his life, Qiu Pengyun, who had no law, decided to take risks again.

Without further ado, Qiu Peng immediately began to arrange this matter after returning home.

A few days later, dozens of killers in disguise rushed to his residence in the starry night, and when everything was ready, they went into action.

On the night of the incident, the killers designed to trick Xu Sicong and Sui Yuexuan out of the house.

When he came to the lake where they had kissed and fell in love, the two suddenly realized.

But by this time, it was too late to realize that the danger had come, and the two were already surrounded by dozens of masked killers hiding in the night.

Seeing that everyone's sharp knives were about to pierce each other's bodies, Xu Sicong and Sui Yuexuan closed their eyes tightly and hugged each other tightly, looking like they were going home.

At this critical moment of life and death, a miracle occurred, only to hear the voice of a man chanting poetry suddenly from a distance in the vast night.

"Where is the road ahead, live up to the right path in front of you!"

As soon as the words fell, the man had already come to the front of everyone, and the speed was jaw-dropping.

The lightness of this person's body cannot be described in words, he is like a ghost that comes and goes without a trace, it is simply "floating" to everyone alive, and ordinary people cannot immediately perceive his existence.

Seeing that this person's light skills were so high, the killers didn't dare to act rashly for a while. And when everyone saw the man's true face, they were even more frightened and retreated.

I heard one of the killers shout in amazement: "Loose ......"

Before the man could finish speaking, the man had already slit his throat with a folding fan in his hand.

Then the man quickly came to the rest of the killers with lightning speed, only to see that he unfolded the folding fan in his hand extremely skillfully, and then came to the crowd, it seemed that he was about to kill.

Seeing this, although the killers couldn't help but be a little timid in their hearts, they had no way to retreat, so they could only raise their swords to fight.

I saw the man holding a folding fan and quickly slid past the blade of a killer, and then the steel knife in the man's hand cracked.

Then the killer felt as if liquid was spilling from his throat, and then he saw that his blood had splattered on his broken knife, but he couldn't make any sound at this point.

Then the man spun around in front of everyone a few more times, and then heard several crisp weapons breaking and a slight shout. The man then landed firmly on the ground, while the men behind him did not move.

Just when Xu Sicong and Sui Yuexuan on the side were puzzled by this, an even more unbelievable scene appeared.

I saw that the steel knives in the hands of those killers were first broken in half one by one, and then all the killers fell, and they did not make a sound in the process.

It turned out that as the man rose into the air and circled around the killers, he took the opportunity to kill everyone with the special folding fan that was densely packed with mechanisms in his hand.

He first slashed the steel knives in everyone's hands with the short sword hidden on the left side of the fan, and then slit everyone's throats with the extremely sharp blade at the edge of the fan.

The whole process is more than ten seconds of work, and if you don't see it with your own eyes, I'm sure most people will think it's a fantasy.

Before Xu Sicong and Sui Yuexuan could come to their senses, all the killers had already fallen to the ground and died.

The two calmed down a little, and then came to thank the knight for saving his life.

It was only then that they saw the man's true face.

He has beautiful eyebrows and a serious expression, and his age is about thirty years old.

She wears pure white light clothing from top to bottom, and the whole dress is spotless.

His light and simple dress danced in the gentle breeze, as fresh and refined as a transcendent and elegant person.

Standing in front of him, you can still feel the faint fragrance emanating from his incomparably light clothing from time to time.

This kind of aroma is like a spring in the mountains, a breeze in the valley, which makes people feel refreshed and refreshed when they smell it.

The pale blue gems set in his belt stood out against the dark night, and these gems were the only place on his body that showed different colors.

He has always held a self-made iron folding fan in his hand, which is indispensable to him and has been following him to the north and south to break through the rivers and lakes, which hides many mysteries.

At the tip of his forehead were two long tufts of silver-white hair hanging down the sides of his cheeks, reaching to his chest, whether they were intentionally rendered or naturally grown.

Although this person kills people like hemp and behaves strangely, he has a very cute baby face.

A fair and delicate little face, big bright eyes, extremely standard double eyelids, a high raised nose bridge, and thin lips slightly reddened.

If you only look at the appearance, you really wouldn't have imagined that he would be a person in the rivers and lakes with such high martial arts and such a ruthless heart.

Seeing that the man took out a white handkerchief, slowly wiped away some blood stains left on the folding fan, and then threw away the handkerchief and prepared to leave.

At this moment, Xu Sicong greeted him and said, "Engong, please stay, thank you Engong for coming to the rescue, so that Yuexuan and I were saved from suffering!" Dare to ask Engongzun's surname? I also hope that Engong can inform me and wait, and in the future, the two of us will come to your mansion to thank Engong for saving his life! ”

Xu Sicong saw that he didn't react much, so he looked at the corpse on the ground again, and then said with a little dissuasion: "Engong, with all due respect, your actions are very inappropriate, they are just obeying orders and doing things according to the rules, is it a little too cruel for you to kill them together so indiscriminately?" ”

"You are really verbose, I was kind enough to save you, why do you blame me? If you keep pestering, I'll kill you both!" Move! The man said without looking back.

Seeing this, Sui Yuexuan on the side immediately stepped forward and advised: "Engong is not strange, his temperament has always been upright, and he likes to speak straightforwardly, but he doesn't mean to blame Engong, please bear with me!" ”

Listening to Sui Yuexuan's words, the man in white turned his head to look at her, and then he jumped into the air and disappeared into the night in an instant.

In the early morning of the next day, the county magistrate led everyone to the scene of the crime to check the situation.

After some careful and meticulous investigation and analysis, the experienced county magistrate felt that this case was very strange.

Only the bodies of a few black-clad masked men were left at the scene, and there were no obvious signs of a fight.

What puzzled the county commander even more was that except for the killer who died alone near the lake, the rest of the people were collectively killed on the river beach not far away.

The man who died by the lake was the one who shouted at first, but was killed by the man before he could finish his sentence.

And when he went through a preliminary inquest and informed the prefectural order of the conclusions, he became more aware of the seriousness of the problem.

If the manner in which the corpse by the lake died can be reasonably explained, the cause of death of these men found not far from the corpse is incredible.

According to the man, the men were struck in the throat with a sharp object at about the same time, causing them to bleed and die.

What is even more strange is that the wounds on the necks of these people are surprisingly consistent in terms of time and size, and seem to be the work of the same person.

However, according to common sense, it is almost impossible for a single person to do all of the above at the same time, but the fact is that they cannot believe it.

Because of the importance of the matter, the local prefectural magistrate did not dare to slack off, so he decided to immediately start investigating the matter.

After several days of unremitting efforts, they finally found the person involved in the incident.

Xu Sicong and Sui Yuexuan felt extremely ashamed to learn that they did not dare to go to the Yamen immediately to report the case because they were afraid of getting into trouble, so they described the general situation of the night of the incident and the physical characteristics of the man in white in as much detail as possible.

After listening to the two of them, the county magistrate had roughly determined the identity of the murderer, because this person was so characteristic that even people in the government had heard of him.

He is a mysterious person, extremely high martial arts, unusual, extremely elegant, as long as people who know his prestige, they are all afraid of his heroic heroes - "free ghost" Yue Jichao!
