On a moonless night, the world is covered.

At the northern end of the world, a lonely and proud peak stands majestically, like a sword of independence that has left the world, sweeping away the wind and snow for the world.

This mountain is nameless, during the Xuanyuan period of the Zhirui Dynasty, the leader of the Taoist Gate, Xuanyi, because of the prophecy of the disaster on the imperial banquet, caused the emperor Longyan to be furious, and his people were bloodily slaughtered by the army of the Rui Dynasty, and almost all of them were killed. Master Xuanyi had no choice but to gather the surviving men and build the Xuanqing Palace on this mountain to avoid the scourge of war.

I don't want to, years of disasters and famines, the Rui Dynasty collapsed, and the princes of the world rose together, and since then, the heroes have been divided, and there is no more emperor in the world.

In the following ten years, the world was stained with blood and wailed.

Until the second generation of Xuanqing Palace, the master of the Dao Yuan obeyed the will of the heavens, and at the request of the people who fought the chaos, he brought the four sword immortals under his door into the world, and fought for seven years. The turmoil in the world has stopped, and it has returned to calm for the time being.

However, in times of turmoil, the countries are doing their own thing, coveting each other's territory, and within each country, the government is chaotic, and the struggle for power is inevitable. The expansion of desire, driven by ambition, has made this blood-stained stage destined to stage a new tragedy again.

In the wilderness, it was night, there were no stars and no moon, but the sparks generated between the short soldiers were particularly eye-catching, and the crisp sound of the blades touched pierced the sky.

In the midst of the siege, but seeing that one man was struggling to survive, his hair was messy due to the fight, and his luxurious clothes were stained with dust, the opponent's cold offensive forced him to retreat again and again. Even in such a dangerous situation, the man's face never showed half timidity, this was Mu Yunxiao, the second prince of the dynasty

An hour ago, he was still tracking down the rebels of the previous dynasty, but at this time he fell into a mortal siege

"Let's go, the dog prince!" A treacherous sword light flew with a low rebuke!

"Uh!" Mu Yunxiao snorted, clutching his bleeding chest and stepping back.

How could such a good opportunity be missed! The assassin's sword is urging again, and he is bound to cut off his life!

At the last moment, the sword light appeared, forcing everyone present to retreat, and when he looked up, he saw a Taoist in Tsing Yi rushing to help. Indigo robe, white jade hair crown, and the cold light of the long sword in his hand are fully revealed! This person is Xuanqing Qinglonglin Yinjun ---- Luo Zifeng.

Stretching out his hand to stabilize Mu Yunxiao, Luo Zifeng looked eager: "Your Highness, hold on..." Before the words fell, a round of sound around him sounded softly, and countless crossbow arrows attacked from all directions! The Taoist immediately made a decision, turned his sleeves sharply, and the sword flowers flew out! Shot down the crossbow arrows that shot at Mu Yunxiao one by one.

At this time, an undercurrent of sword qi went straight through Lhotse Peak!

"Poof!" The Yin Blade stirred the blood in his body, and there was a hint of fishy sweetness in his throat, and blood gushed out from his lips.

"Scales Yinjun!" was so urgent that Mu Yunxiao couldn't help but exclaim. Luo Zifeng forced the injury, and the sword blade swept through the four fields, and the dust flew for a while, covering the two figures.

When the smoke cleared slightly, the assassin slowly surrounded him, and the two were long gone.

"It's ......fast to run" A graceful shadow paced out from the darkness, swept the corpse on the ground, and the red lips opened lightly: "Chase ......"

......

In the woods, the two scarred people, supporting each other, ran towards the depths of the dense forest,

Halfway through, the two found a hidden place to stop for a while, and Luo Zifeng endured the pain and took out a bag from his arms.

"What is?" The well-folded letter paper was taken out of the bag, and Mu Yunxiao was puzzled.

"The national teacher gave it. Lhotse Feng slowly opened the letter paper.

In a desperate situation, the dragon is hidden. The eight-character proverb jumped on the page.

"Divine Weapon Pavilion. The two looked at each other, the Divine Soldier Pavilion had strong support for the royal family in troubled times, and the current pavilion master Shen Yuewen was the wife of the emperor's righteous brother Shenwu Jun, and was also the mother of Danyang Jun of Xuanqing Palace today. At present, there is really only a glimmer of life if you go here......

"They're there!" Behind him, the voice of the Assassin was heard, and he didn't expect to be caught up by them so quickly.

"Let's go!" The two of them had little strength left, and in the face of the enemy's pursuit, they fought hard and undoubtedly hit the stone with eggs, so they could only turn around and flee.

Luo Zifeng relied on the little true qi left in his body, supported Mu Yunxiao, forcibly pressed the injury, and rushed straight to the Divine Weapon Pavilion. Unexpectedly, Luo Zifeng's body ran out of energy, and the arm on Mu Yunxiao's shoulder was loosened, and he almost passed out.

"Dao Chief!" hurriedly supporting the fallen man, Mu Yunxiao struggled to carry him on his back, and staggered towards the gate of the Divine Weapon Pavilion, behind him, the footsteps of the assassin's pursuit gradually approached.

It's too late! Mu Yunxiao's cold sweat slid down his jaw and bloomed on the ground.

"Come on!" With a shout, several black shadows rushed up at the same time, and the blades in their hands were approaching together!

Carrying Luo Zifeng on his back and seriously injured, Mu Yunxiao's pace was slow. The dignity of being a prince made him unable to lead his neck to kill, and his heart was crossed, and he drew his sword and stabbed back but was easily dodged.

In the blink of an eye, the Assassin's short sword was already approaching his heart! In an instant of life and death, a powerful palm qi came from behind him, knocking the assassin back.

"Bold! Who dares to hurt the prince!" angrily reprimanded, the door of the Divine Weapon Pavilion opened, and a group of servants helped Mu Yunxiao and Luo Zifeng inside. A cold and arrogant woman stood in it, holding a Mo knife, raising her luck, and cutting off the assassin along with the blade with a horizontal slash, and suddenly, the air was filled with blood.

At the end of the dense forest, the firelight was lit, and a palace flag was particularly dazzling, and it hurriedly surrounded the Divine Soldier Pavilion.

"Oh, I haven't seen this flag for many years, and it's still disgusting!" The woman's sleeves waved, and everyone present understood it, and immediately blocked the door, and dozens of family members on the female wall were waiting with crossbows in hand.

Looking back at the woman, she took out a piece of white jade from her sleeve and embedded it in the wall, and bursts of white qi immediately rose from the ground, forming an earth qi protection array.

"That should be enough...... Bring the two adults inside to heal first...... "With a long breath, casting a formation really consumes a lot of vitality, Shen Yuewen leaned her body on the maid and commanded the surrounding servants.

After the healing was completed, the three of them sat down in the main hall of the Divine Weapon Pavilion.

"Thank you Lord Shen for saving me. Mu Yunxiao's breath was steady at this time, and he clasped his hands into fists and saluted the woman to express his gratitude.

"It is the duty of the Divine Soldier Pavilion to protect the prince, and Yunxiao is tormenting the concubine like this. "How can the prince's gift be slack, Shen Yuewen hurriedly got up and returned the salute.

"I don't know at the feet of the Son of Heaven, how could you be assassinated in Yunxiao?" After sitting down again, Shen Yuewen expressed her doubts in her heart.

"It's a long story, and the reason is ......," Mu Yunxiao told the cause and effect.

It turned out that yesterday, the national teacher Bu Nianqing revealed to Mu Yunxiao that a murderous star had recently fallen in the eastern suburbs of the imperial city, which was afraid of causing turmoil in the world, and it was not appropriate to publicize this matter, so Mu Yunxiao went to investigate alone. After investigation, there is indeed a meteorite falling on the eastern suburbs of the wilderness, is waiting for careful study, but does not want to encounter the former dynasty rebel party here, fortunately the national teacher informed in time, Lin Yinjun Luo Zifeng rushed to the rescue, so that he was able to escape from the dead

"Now above the government and the opposition, no one knows that the emperor's health is deteriorating, and now there is a vision from the sky, and the rebels of the previous dynasty are also coming one after another, and the situation in the capital is about to change......" Mu Yunxiao paused, put one hand on his chest, stroked the bandaged wound, and then thanked Luo Zifeng: "I want to thank Luo Daochang this time, if you don't protect me desperately, I'm afraid that I will be in a different place now." ”

"The second prince is serious, all the people in the world are blessed by the royal family to recuperate, and the prince is in danger and poverty. Luo Zifeng bowed slightly, and took out another bag from his body: "Before leaving, the national teacher gave two bags, one guided us to come to the Divine Weapon Pavilion for help, and this one, Poor Dao thinks, this is the time to untie the bag." ”

As he spoke, Luo Zifeng took out the note, only to see that it was written in black and white: The dragon is trapped in the abyss, wait for it, the hidden dragon is not used, the sun is below;

Seeing the book like this, Shen Yuewen was silent for a while, closed her eyes and thought for a while, and then said squarely: "Such a document, according to the concubine's opinion, what the national teacher said is a situation of trapped dragons." He got up and took the note from Luo Zifeng's hand, swiped his fingers lightly on the paper, and froze in one place: "Yang is below, this sentence should refer to the fact that it is difficult to distinguish between the enemy and me around His Highness, if you rashly ask for help in such a predicament, you are afraid of attracting wolves into the room." ”

"But if you sit here, I'm afraid of affecting the Divine Weapon Pavilion......" Mu Yunxiao frowned, he was in a predicament, he was anxious in his heart, but if he wanted to affect others, he must be unwilling in his heart!

Being in the royal family, I have been accustomed to deceitful tricks since I was a child, but I can still be so considerate of others, which is really commendable. Shen Yuewen's good impression of Mu Yunxiao in her heart was even more significant: "Back then, Zhuo Lang and his concubine followed the emperor regardless of life and death, but now that the prince is in trouble, how can there be a reason to stand by and watch!"

"It's just that the Divine Weapon Pavilion is a good fighter, and now he is still escorting the caravan that purchases refined iron in the Hokuriku, and he has not returned yet. This earth qi protection array can last for seven days at most, and once the seven days arrive, it may not be enough to resist the rebels with only the family members in the Divine Weapon Pavilion......" The foreign enemy has not retreated, and there is no assistance, Shen Yuewen is indeed worried in her heart.

Knowing the current situation in the cabinet, Luo Zifeng turned his attention to the note again, "Since it is difficult to distinguish between the loyalty and treachery of the DPRK and China...... Perhaps what these two sentences refer to may be an indication of the direction for recourse. The place referred to is the tiger roaring in the forest, and the phoenix dancing for nine days.

"Let the concubine tell me her opinion", Shen Yuewen took over: "The royal system is strict, if Yunxiao is good at transferring government soldiers, once someone provokes it, it will be a crime of rebellion." Yu Linwei guards the imperial city, and it is impossible to rush to help, Xue Duwei, who defends the city...... Don't mention it. Yes, I guess that the tiger roaring in the forest mentioned in the national teacher's article should be the son of the Lin family--- Lin Xiao, this child has been guarding Liangguan with Lin Gong for several years, and his filial piety is heavy, and he should be guarded by 100 people every year when he returns to Beijing Province according to the military system. "In this way, there is no problem with rushing to help.

"But the Ministry of War registered, Lin Xiao should set off from Liangguan tomorrow, but I'm afraid that the far water won't be able to solve the near fire" Mu Yunxiao sighed lightly, thinking in his heart, even if he asks for help now, he will not be able to hold out at that time.

"Yunxiao, you don't know, this kid just came to the house three days ago......" Thinking of Lin Xiao's happy smiling face, Shen Yuewen smiled helplessly: "In order to see the girl on Fanghua Street, he will return to Beijing early every year, but every time he runs away, he is afraid of being punished by his father, so he comes to me every time to ask for a response." ”

"That's what that kid would do, but I don't know which girl can make him so concerned. Hearing this, Mu Yunxiao's worries seemed to have disappeared a little, Lin Xiao's kid was indeed a pistachio.

"As for this phoenix dance for nine days, I think it should be a dog" Shen Yuewen sighed, Yucheng inherited the Xuanqing Danyang lineage, and served the Vermilion Bird Star, it can't be wrong.

Suddenly, a color swept across his face, "Madame is really wise, very wise! A few words will get the true meaning of the national teacher." Luo Zifeng put down the bag in his hand, with a look of reverence in his eyes.

"Xuanqing Palace masters gathered, and Senior Brother Yucheng is even more outstanding, with him as a helper, he will definitely be able to break the siege!"

"What about the clouds?" Shen Yuewen set her eyes on Mu Yunxiao, and when she saw him bowing her head and pondering, she didn't say a word, just waited silently on the side, waiting for him to speak.

"Since the national teacher has pointed out the understanding of the Fa, so be it. Mu Yunxiao got up, raised his hands, and bowed deeply to Shen Yuewen: "Yu Chengnai is Mrs. Son, involve him, Yunxiao is full of apologies, and Lin Xiao... Such kindness, Yunxiao will remember it in his heart. ”

The young man in front of him, sincerely apologetic, made Shen Yuewen's heart feel heavy. The royal family, protecting him is to show everyone the position of the Divine Weapon Pavilion, if you can't protect it, it will also be an abyss! Zhuo Lang, Yucheng's fate is destined to be difficult to peace, and I hope that you can bless our son in the spirit of heaven to turn evil into good fortune.

Stretched out his hand to help Mu Yunxiao up in person, and patted the back of Mu Yunxiao's hand: "Yunxiao's words are serious, the prince is in trouble, how can you not help as a courtier." What's more, you have a friendship with those two children since childhood, and they must do their best to do their best. After such relief, Mu Yunxiao's eyebrows stretched slightly, and he nodded to Shen Yuewen.

"Qi Lao. Shen Yuewen called softly, and a hunched old man slowly walked out of the shadows.

Mu Yunxiao and Luo Zifeng were both shocked, and the Divine Weapon Pavilion was indeed Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon. Thinking that he Luo Zifeng is the hidden monarch of Xuanqing Lin, his skills are naturally not a problem, and he has been under the same roof for so long, he has not even noticed a trace of this old man's breath!

"Pavilion Master. Lao Suo stepped forward without squinting all the way, and called respectfully at Shen Yuewen.

Shen Yuewen took off the jade plate from her waist and handed it over: "Old Qi, you know Lin Xiao's child, and you are also familiar with the military array outside, so I can only bother you to make a trip." ”

"Yes. The old man took the token from Shen Yuewen's hand, carefully put it in his arms, and then retreated.

"Next, only jade remains. After Qi Lao left, Shen Yuewen opened her lips and said softly.

"Xuanqing Palace is closed on weekdays, if there is no Taoist cultivation, you can only knock on the mountain with your skills, I'm afraid only I will go" Luo Zifeng was about to stand up with his body, because he was in a hurry, he pulled the wound, and he was in a cold sweat.

"Xiao Feng, you better take care of your injuries. Shen Yuewen saw that Luo Zifeng's face was slightly better, so she retracted her internal strength, and patted her shoulder to signal him to be calm, "You are quite seriously injured, so you should not rush." ”

"Although there are not many people with profound skills in the Divine Weapon Pavilion, there are still capable people who know a little bit about the Daomen exercises. The soft reassurance calmed Luo Zifeng's heart slightly, the hand supporting the armrest withdrew his strength, and he meditated, Shen Yuewen withdrew her hand, and then called a maid.

This woman has a good face and a calm demeanor, a piece of blood-colored jade falls on her waist, swaying with the maid's movements, her steps are light but her body is not floating, and it can be seen that she has indeed practiced martial arts.

"Xin Yao has seen Madame, and I have seen all the adults. The maid named Xin Yao put her hands on her waist and bowed slightly to everyone before raising her head and standing quietly.

"This ...... It seems that I have never seen it. Mu Yunxiao squinted, looked at the maid for a long time, and carefully searched for information about this girl in his mind, but it was blank.

"Yunxiao, you really haven't seen it, Xinyao used to be the shadow guard of the national teacher, and the national teacher couldn't bear to see her as a woman doing such a drudgery, so he asked me for an errand. Mu Yunxiao's concerns, Shen Yuewen naturally knew about it, so she gave him a look to reassure him.

"Ahem. In that case, I am relieved. The wound in his chest was a faint pain, so Mu Yunxiao couldn't help coughing twice, since Shen Yuewen told him that this woman was credible, then he didn't bother anymore, so he withdrew the scrutinizing look from Xin Yao.

"Yunxiao, Luo Zifeng, you two injuries still need to recuperate, and rest early, and the rest will be arranged by the concubine. After the words fell, Shen Yuewen instructed the attendants in the pavilion to escort the two back to their rooms, and whispered to Xin Yao, carefully explaining the details of the request for help before ordering them to retreat.

When everything was ready, Shen Yuewen slowly paced to the door, looked up at the night sky according to the door frame, stared at the dark sky, and sighed silently in her heart......
