Chapter 1 The First Encounter of Mibai Mountain
The wind is gentle and the grass is green.
A simple herbal tea shop at the foot of Mibai Mountain is crowded with people at the moment.
A table was erected in the open space next to the shop, and a missing tea bowl was placed on the table. A poorly dressed storyteller sat behind a desk with an old folding fan in his hand, spitting profusely.
Spring is about to begin, and the storytelling tables of Chujing's large and small restaurants and teahouses are full, talking about a major event that has happened in Chujing recently.
Feng Yuanjun, the crown prince of the enemy country, traveled thousands of miles with a heavy dowry and a large team of envoys across the rolling Weishui to the Eastern Chu State to ask to marry the daughter of Prime Minister Xia's family!
The whole country was shocked! The government and the opposition are shaken!
You must know that this prince of Xitu Feng Yuanjun is the "Xuanjia God of War" who makes Dongchu talk about it.
"Since ancient times, heroes have been sad to pass the beauty pass! No matter how brave the "Xuanjia God of War" is, he didn't fall under the pomegranate skirt of my first beauty in Chujing, Miss Qianrong. Oh no, now it's time to call "Princess Mo Rong"...... "The storyteller picked up the tea bowl that was missing a mouth, pretended to take a sip, and said: "However, I didn't expect that the barbarian country of Xitu actually had such a love for Feng Yuanjun, I heard that the old Xihuang was not light, and he whipped Feng Yuanjun fiercely, and grounded him in the East Palace and thought about it behind closed doors." But what's the use? This prince is iron-hearted after eating the scales. ”
Someone interjected: "I heard that the "Princess Mo Rong" sent off the family before leaving Chu Jing, and a holy decree came from the Chu Palace on the back foot, giving the youngest daughter of Prime Minister Xia's family to His Royal Highness King Ling?" ”
The storyteller slapped the fan and said angrily, "Don't interject, I'm not about to say this......"
"Speaking of this His Royal Highness the King of Ling, it is not only the light of my Great Chu, but also the nemesis of the "Xuanjia God of War", ah......" Mr. Storyteller folded the folding fan and said with emotion: "If it weren't for the fact that he had been ill since two years ago, the person who was the most suitable person for the entire Chu Jing and Miss Qianrong must be His Royal Highness the King of Ling, how could it be the turn of the prince of that barbarian country?" ”
The crowd let out a sigh.
In the crowd sat two girls dressed as maids, one fat and one thin. The thin girl sat on only one corner of the bench, and the rest was taken up by the fat girl, who listened attentively with her mouth open.
At noon, when the sun was in full bloom, the thin girl was very sleepy, and shrank in the corner and snoozed. Faintly, she seemed to hear a low sneer from someone. The voice was soft, almost inaudible in the noise, but it had a strong smell of disdain, which made people feel extremely harsh.
The thin girl has been practicing martial arts since she was a child, and her ear power has always been much stronger than others. She opened her eyes and looked around curiously, but found nothing unusual. A wave of sleepiness hit, and my eyelids grew heavier and heavier. When the storyteller began to talk about how virtuous Princess Mo Rong was, Athens was a model of a famous lady in Chujing, she finally fell asleep in a noise.
It was precisely because she fell asleep that she didn't hear the next voice and whispered helplessly: "Your Highness...... Won't your eyes hurt if you keep rolling your eyes like this......"
……
By the time she woke up in a daze, it was already sunset.
The storyteller had a good time today, closed the stall and went home, and the guests in the tea shed were also satisfied with what they heard, and most of them dispersed. At the moment, there are only a few individual customers sitting sporadically.
She asked the fat girl beside her a little blankly: "Sister Xiaocui, haven't you come back yet?" ”
The girl named Xiaocui looked at her with disdain and said, "Why did you sleep again, like a pig...... Don't talk about Childe, it's just that Sister Wan came back and saw you dozing off again, so it's strange if you don't punish you! ”
The skinny girl stopped talking. After shaking her head and waking up completely, she looked around, silently feeling that something was not quite right.
Between half dreaming and half waking up, she opened her eyes and looked at it several times. The tea guests have come and gone several times, except for the table on the far right, and there are always the two people with hats. Both of them are dressed as rangers, and their appearance is very ordinary, although they do not wear swords, they can be seen to be people who practice martial arts.
Like them, the two sat from noon to sunset in this humble tea shed at the foot of Mibai Mountain.
She wondered in her heart: After sitting for so long, could it be that she was waiting for someone?
And that's not the only thing that's wrong, seeing that the sun is about to set, the people who should have come back a long time ago still haven't come back.
She and Xiaocui are both maidservants in the house of Gu Ziyi, the waiter of the Criminal Department, and at this time of year, Gu Shilang will go to the Miliang Temple on Mibai Mountain on the outskirts of Chujing to play tea and talk about Buddhism with the host Master Minghui. Because there is a rule in Miliang Temple that women are not allowed to enter, so every year Gu Shilang asks them to wait at the foot of the mountain, and only brings a personal maid to disguise herself as a man and go up the mountain with him.
Every year I go up at noon and go down before sunset, and there is no exception.
Gu Shilang is young and promising, does things appropriately, and is a very organized person. If the trip is delayed because of something, someone will definitely be sent down the mountain in advance to inform you, and it will definitely not be so unexplained and delayed.
She told Xiao Cui about her doubts, but Xiao Cui didn't think so: "What do you want you to worry about?" Childe may be fascinated by the game, and he may forget the time for a while. Our son is skilled, can anything else happen? ”
When she said "very skillful," the thin girl faintly heard one of the two men wearing the hat, and let out a very soft sneer. The voice was soft, fleeting in the wind, but she could not be mistaken by the contempt of the utter disdain, the contempt that wanted to despise people to the soles of their shoes.
She immediately looked at the man, and saw that he was sitting casually, with his hat low so low that he covered most of his face. One hand supports the chin, and the other hand slowly plays with the tea bowl in his hand. As if noticing her gaze, he looked up. Under the hat is a very ordinary face, unremarkable, only a pair of eyes with amazing beauty, as bright as a galaxy, which is completely inconsistent with the plain facial features.
Her heart sank, and she was transfigured.
The man's eyes were bright and deep, and he fell on her with a little curiosity and playfulness.
She looked at him without giving in.
There is definitely something wrong with this person.
Seeing that she was standing still and unresponsive, Xiao Cui pushed her and scolded: "All day long, she either dozed off or was in a daze!" I don't know what's going on in my head! Why don't you go and feed the horses quickly, and when Gongzi and Sister Wan come back, they can leave for home. ”
She knew that Xiaocui had always seen her unhappy, and she didn't argue with her, so she stood up and straightened her clothes and went out to feed the horses.
The sun was about to set, and Gu's carriage stopped on a small slope next to the tea shed. The horses were sunburned all day, thirsty and hot, and a little anxious, and kept pulling the grass on the ground with their hooves, burying their mouths in the grass and eating.
She took out some water and fed it, stroked it, and pulled some tender grass for it to eat.
While feeding the horses, a woodcutter came to the foot of the mountain and walked to the tea shed to rest.
I heard him say to the owner of the tea shop: "The road on the half-mountain road has collapsed, and now the people on the mountain can't come down." ”
Everyone was taken aback and hurriedly asked what was going on.
The woodcutter said, "It has rained for a few days, and the rocks are unstable and tumbling down, blocking the way down the mountain. Luckily, I walked in time, and I was about to walk that way, and the road collapsed. ”
He added, "The boy who walked behind me was not so lucky, he was blocked behind the rocks and couldn't get by." He asked me to go to the tea shed at the foot of the mountain to bring a message to the maidservants in his house, and asked them to go back to the house first, and then go to the government to report the news. ”
He turned to Xiao Cui and said, "Are you the maidservant of his house?" ”
Xiao Cui finally panicked at this time, and the six gods shouted without a master. The girl who fed the horses walked in, looked around, and at some point, the two men with hats were gone.
She thought for a while and said to Xiaocui: "Sister Xiaocui, don't panic, the son is strong in martial arts, nothing will happen." That's it, I'll stay here and wait for my son, and I'll bother Sister Xiaocui to go back and report the news first. ”
Xiaocui had no idea at this time, so she had to drive the carriage back to report the news.
The twilight was getting darker, and the mountain wind was blowing on the mountain, and the thin girl had already made up her mind that she would go up the mountain to have a look.
Since she came to Chu Jing three years ago, she has been working as a maid in the mansion under the pseudonym of a potential servant. Gu Ziyi is humble and upright, and he is a rare good official. She didn't want anything to happen to Gu Ziyi.
Walking along the mountain road, it was not long before I saw a pavilion standing in the night. She guessed that this should have been built by the monks of Miliang Temple for pilgrims to rest on the mountain. When I got closer, sure enough, there were three big characters on the plaque: Mi Pavilion Pavilion.
After crossing the pavilion and continuing to walk up, I saw that the road ahead had collapsed, and several large craters had been smashed by the huge rocks that had rolled down, completely blocking the road. She leapt to her feet, and a few ups and downs flipped over the collapse. Then he stopped and looked at it thoughtfully. This collapse is not big, it is not small, it should be difficult for the son, but the son did not choose to go down the mountain, but asked them to go to the government to report the news, did they also notice something abnormal?
After continuing on for a while, she heard the sound of water. There is a pool of spring water on this Mibai Mountain, and the mountain spring pours down from the top of the rock, and the spring water is clear and turquoise, and it is crystal clear.
There was a big tree by the spring, and under the tree lay a man.
The man put his hands behind his head, propped up one of his right legs, rested his left leg on top of his right leg, and had a weed in his mouth, looking leisurely and comfortable.
The hat was casually thrown aside by him, and it was the one who laughed out loud in the tea shed.
He had apparently spotted her as well, and looked sideways, a slightly surprised look.
"Little girl, do you know martial arts?"
"No, it won't."
The man chuckled lightly and said, "Do you know that it takes at least half an hour for a strong ordinary person to walk here from the foot of the mountain. And you followed up when you didn't have a stick of incense, and you said that you couldn't martial arts? ”
Instead of answering, she asked, "Who are you?" ”
The man didn't answer and asked, "Are you looking for your family Gu Lang Gu?" ”
"Exactly."
The man pulled his right hand from the back of his head, pointed his slender fingers ahead, and said lazily, "He is in the woods ahead, with his maidservant." ”
She breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, raised her feet and was about to go into the woods, and listened to the man's slow and logical words: "But it's useless for you to go now, I'm afraid that your family Gu is already fierce and unlucky at this time." ”
She was stunned, and the alarm bell rang in her heart. There was a contempt between this man's gestures and words, as if everything in the world was under his control. Definitely not a person to mess with.
But after thinking about it, she calmed down and asked, "Your other transfigurable companion is also in the woods at the moment, right?" ”
The man laughed and said, "You girl is so interesting, I noticed you down the mountain." I didn't know that there was such a hidden girl in Gu Ziyi's mansion, you must not be as simple as an ordinary maidservant, right? ”
She said, "You're not an ordinary ranger, are you?" ”
The man hooked his finger at her, smiled sheepishly, and said, "Want to know?" You come over and I tell you. ”
Instinctively, she took a half-step back.
The man pursed his lips, looking bored, and reached out to reach out and pull out a slender bamboo tube from his waist. Raised it in front of his eyes and shook it slightly, and smiled at her, "Do you know what this is?" ”
She replied, "Letter flowerpot." ”
The man nodded: "The little girl knows a lot." Then if I say, if you don't come, I'll release this letter flower, and let my partner in the forest slash Master Gu, can you come here? ”
She couldn't, so she walked over and stopped five paces away from him.
"Come over again." He raised an eyebrow.
She hesitated, and the man immediately made a gesture to pull out the bamboo tube, and she had to take two more steps forward.
The man nodded proudly: "Wouldn't it be nice to be so good earlier." ”
She resisted the urge to pop his head and asked, "What the hell do you want to do?" ”
"It's boring. I finally met such an interesting girl here, and I was very happy to be teased and teased. ”
"You guys are the ones who caused the mountain road to collapse, right?"
"That's right."
"My family has never had a grudge against anyone, who are you?"
The man grinned and said, "It's not from Eastern Chu anyway." ”
As soon as he finished speaking, she suddenly struck out to grab the letter flower tube. The man reacted very quickly, threw the letter flower tube into the air with a backhand, dodged her attack a few times, and turned to catch it steadily.
She shot again, and the man threw again, alternating between his left and right hands, and his body was as nimble as a snake. As if teasing her, he retreated to the spring, shook the letter flower tube in his hand defiantly, and raised his eyebrows at her.
She smiled at him and kicked her foot hard with lightning speed. The man obviously didn't expect this trick to dodge, and fell into the spring on his back. Before entering the water, he lifted his foot and hooked her, and she was also taken into the water.
The spring water is cold and biting, her water is not very good, fortunately, the water is not deep, only two sips of spring water are drunk, and her head comes out.
The man also emerged from the spring, but it was already a different face. The face is like a crown of jade, so handsome that it is not like a mortal, and the eyes are like stars, as if the sky is full of stars. It's just a sly smile, and the look is still the same annoying.
"Okay, you're a little girl, you're quite clever. Robbing the letter flower tube is fake, forcing me back to the spring, kicking me into the water, and wetting the letter flower tube is true. ”
As he spoke, he took out the soaked letter canister from his body and threw it into the air, not knowing where it had gone.
"Interesting, really interesting. However, do you think you can save Gu Shilang in this way? ”
He threw it so hard that a jade plaque with a star chart fell out of his soaked shirt on his chest. The jade brand is moist and flawless, and it is a piece of priceless and superb mutton fat white jade. The star map of the three-star line is inlaid with gemstones, which is the heart of Yingchao.
Who else is qualified to wear this jade plaque in this world?
She was stunned and blurted out: "This is ...... Glowing Guardian Jade Plaque...... You, you are His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of the Kingdom of Situ??? ”
The man grinned, and even replied aloud: "Yes, it is the prince of Ben!"
……
It is rumored that twenty years ago, the current king of Situ was happy to have a son. At the time of birth, it coincided with the appearance of the stars in the sky. After observing the stars, the national teacher of Xitu was shocked, and asserted that this son was the reincarnation of the god of war and would become a great weapon in the future. King Xitu was overjoyed, valued this son very much, placed high hopes on him, and cultivated him carefully since he was a child, so that one day, his son could realize Xitu's long-cherished wish to unify Weishui.
"However, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of the Xitu Kingdom had already left Chu Jing a month ago, so how could he rob and kill the imperial court officials of my Eastern Chu Kingdom here......? Could it be that he is pretending to reconcile with Dongchu, and has other plans? ”
was exposed to the conspiracy on the spot, and she thought that ordinary people would have to take care of their own cheeks a little bit to be embarrassed.
But is Feng Yuanjun an ordinary person? What is cheek?
I saw him tap the water and jump up, flip on his toes and jump ashore, throw the wet hair on his forehead to the back of his head at will, and said with a playful expression: "That's right! Exactly! I'm going to rob and kill your court officials in Eastern Chu now! If you continue to pretend to be a servant girl who doesn't know martial arts, you can only wait to collect the body of your squire. After saying that, he laughed twice, and turned to go in the direction of the woods.
“……”
This person is really as perverted as rumored, and such a thing as murder deserves to be so simple!
She was speechless for a moment, and immediately reacted, Lord Squire was afraid that he was really in danger this time. At that moment, he no longer hesitated, jumped up, followed the example of Feng Yuanjun, flipped ashore with a light tap on the water with his toes, and ran towards the woods.
chased Feng Yuanjun all the way, but didn't see his figure. Could it be that this person's light skills are really so superb, and he can't even catch his shadow?
The woods were ahead, and she could already hear the crisp sound of weapons clashing, as if someone was fighting. She ran two steps before she saw three figures in a clearing in the forest ahead.
One black and one white were fighting, and there was a turquoise figure next to him who fell to the ground, as if he had fainted. The man in black was the other man wearing a hat in the tea shed. Make a short knife, the moves are sharp, the knife is close to the point, and it looks very skillful. The man in white was tall, holding a long sword in his hand, and his clothes were flying, dissolving all the killing moves of the man in black.
It was Gu Shilang and Gu Ziyi.
The two are equal, you come and go, and the fight is inseparable.
But it's very strange that I didn't see Feng Yuanjun's figure, he was obviously walking in front of her.
At this time, I saw the man in black turn his blade, slashed diagonally in mid-air, and swung straight towards Gu Ziyi's neck, Gu Ziyi held the sword in both hands and raised it in front of him, which was able to avoid this blow. The man in black seemed to have expected it, turned around and slashed at him with his backhand.
She was taken aback, and just wanted to shout, "Childe be careful!" Suddenly, a hand reached out from behind to cover her mouth, hugged her tightly, and exhaled rather ambiguously and whispered in her ear: "Little girl, don't disturb other people's fights......"
She was horrified, not even noticing that someone was silently behind her. She was anxious and angry, and said in her heart: You dead pervert, let me go!
But Feng Yuanjun seemed to know what she was thinking, and chuckled in her ear, "I won't." He reached out and tapped her acupoint, and brought her back to the spring.
She was angry: "You are a dead pervert, you are a disciple, what kind of ability is it to sneak attack people?" Have the ability to let me go, let's fight! ”
Feng Yuanjun was not annoyed at all, and said with a smile: "You are too worried, you are such a thin prince and really can't look down on it." And said: "But if you want to fight, you can not survive tonight, this prince feels that he is very close to you, so he will give you a decent way to die so that you can die under the sword of this prince in a dignified manner." ”
He said these words with a relaxed expression, as if killing someone was as simple as crushing an ant to death.
She knew that she was not the opponent of this "Xuanjia God of War", but she was really unwilling to die like this. It's a pity that he has been hiding in the Shilang Mansion of the Criminal Department for three years, and he has not found many clues to revenge. After her death, she really had no face to see the dead Daddy and Auntie and the lives of 36 people in Yudong Village.
"Hey...... Are you crying? ”
She wiped her face and realized that she didn't know when she was actually crying. At the moment, he was also a little annoyed with himself, and said angrily to Feng Yuanjun: "Don't talk nonsense, quickly unlock the acupoint for me, let's fight in a dignified manner!" ”
Feng Yuanjun unlocked her acupoint.
She pulled out a small, delicate silver dagger from her boots, which her master had given her for self-defense before going down the mountain. She held the dagger in her backhand and closed her eyes, whether she lived or died today was all up to heaven's will.
Between the swords and swords, the two of them were very fast.
The "Xuanjia God of War" is indeed terrifying. After a stick of incense, she was almost covered in blood, and Feng Yuanjun's soft sword left several blood marks on her body. But she knew he wasn't at all for it.
The two of them went through dozens of moves, and finally she saw a flaw in Feng Yuanjun and stabbed with all her might. Blood flowed down Feng Yuanjun's hand, wetting his sleeve.
Feng Yuanjun's playful look was finally dyed with a hint of murderous aura, and he chuckled: "It's not bad, then I'll be serious too." ”
The two fought again.
She clearly felt that his body was changing very quickly, and she couldn't catch the sharp moves. Her physical strength is gradually exhausted, and she is desperate in her heart, could it be that she is really going to die here today?
The shadow of the sword flickered, and Feng Yuanjun stabbed with a sword very quickly, and it was inevitable to avoid it. Suddenly, she saw something fall out of Feng Yuanjun's chest. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince may not be wearing the right clothes today, and the move is big, and the glowing jade card on his chest has run out again. She grabbed the jade plaque by the ghost, and saw Feng Yuanjun's face change, and he actually showed a panicked look, and shouted: "What are you doing as a woman!" Let it go! "The backhand is to recapture the jade medal.
The blood of the two of them was stained on the jade plate at the same time, and the star map drawn by the gems on the jade plate emitted a dazzling light. Feng Yuanjun's face changed greatly at this moment, and he struggled. But the hands of the two of them seemed to be glued together by some magical force, and they couldn't shake them off. Bai Guang Dasheng, before she lost consciousness, she thought in her heart: "Dead pervert, let go of my hand......"
