It was a minor injury, but after a few days of rest, Qi Wenxiu was already fine. Go out from the back of the courtyard and come to the Tai'an Palace.

Steward Li took Qi Wenxiu to the backyard and saw Xu Sheng teaching Si Koulin to practice martial arts. Looking at the relationship between the two, it doesn't look like the alienation that Proton and the prince should have.

Qi Wenxiu watched quietly from the side for a while before Xu Sheng put down the sword in his hand and let Si Koulin practice by himself.

"Qi Gongzi is here." Xu Sheng took the sweat towel sent by the servant and wiped the sweat of practicing martial arts. "I heard you're hurt?"

"It's a small thing." Qi Wenxiu looked at the young man who was still practicing his sword in the courtyard, "Is the proton doing well with you?" ”

Xu Sheng handed the towel to the servant, "This kid is a little cowardly." ”

Qi Wenxiu turned to look at Xu Sheng and said teasingly, "If you are so attentive, you are not afraid of raising tigers in the future." ”

Xu Sheng was stunned, and turned his head to look at the young man who was practicing his sword in the yard, "The tiger is terrifying, but the young tiger is still pitiful." ”

Qi Wenxiu smiled, but he didn't expect that this person who looked serious and upright would also be pitiful and weak.

The two entered the study and talked secretly for a while, and Qi Wenxiu got up to say goodbye to Xu Sheng.

Xu Sheng looked at the black and white pieces on the chessboard, and played three hands in a row before breaking the chess game on the table. I have to sigh at the power of this Qi Gongzi, and the unfathomable power behind it. Fortunately, I was in the shadows, and I still had time to make a move. Otherwise, I'm just afraid that I will be toyed with and applauded by him like the crown prince and King Rui.

Or, he is also a pawn in his hands. It's just that you don't know yet? Thinking of this, Xu Sheng shuddered. Some things have to be accelerated, and they are still in their infancy, and now they can only take every step of the way.

The queen was sent to the cold palace, and the prince was grounded in the Buddha hall for half a year.

The crown prince held a grudge against King Rui and vowed to eradicate him. It's just that now there is one more Qi Wenxiu by his side. That's why I fell to this point today.

Qi Wenxiu must be removed, since he can't use it for himself, then there is no need to stay in this world.

Although this assassination failed, it also made it clear that this Qi Wenxiu was only guarded by the four masters. It was the four servants in the little courtyard. Although the four guards lived up to their reputation, it wasn't that they couldn't do anything about it that day.

If you order someone to go down, you must do it as soon as possible. The spies came to report, but they still didn't increase the guards, it seems that the sect master of this Dulomon is extremely confident.

The crown prince sent Eight Eagles, and even invited Xia Laozu.

Eight eagles are the prince's cronies who have always been in captivity, all of them are strong in martial arts, and everyone is afraid of them. The ancestor has withdrawn from the rivers and lakes for many years, and has been collected by the prince, and now all of them are dispatched, just to ask for a person's life.

This assassination that followed was caught off guard.

However, Qi Wenxiu was waiting for him.

The night is dark and the wind is high. In the calm and unpredictable cold moon.

Eight black-clothed figures quickly surrounded a small courtyard on the outskirts of the capital. For example, eight sharp swords shot into the courtyard, and four people immediately came out of the courtyard to fight with them.

What no one saw was that an extremely fast figure quietly avoided everyone who was fighting in front of him and sneaked into the master bedroom.

Qi Wen Xiu sat upright in his chair and looked at a book. The shadow was reflected on the wall, looking unconcerned.

An old man with gray hair and a distorted face was so fast, like a ghost, suddenly appeared in the room, and in the blink of an eye, he arrived in front of Qi Wenxiu, and the axe he raised was instantly chopped, and he saw that the scholar who was sitting at the end immediately turned his head in a different place!

But a long scythe came out of the air, blocking the axe with the power of a thousand catties, and in an instant, sparks overflowed, lighting up the candles in the room.

The old man's distorted face was full of surprise, it was impossible, he had never felt that there were a third few people in this room!

For a moment, the old man felt a chill in his abdomen, and when he looked down, another sickle was shining beside him, stained with blood, and dripping down.

In an instant, the intestines burst out, the upper body fell to the side, but the lower limbs stood steadily, and they were already in two.

His eyes widened incredibly, looking at the wall where the shadow of the scholar was reflected, a tall black figure, like a Shura, holding two long sickles, diffused from the darkness.

Qi Wenxiu took his eyes off the book, glanced at the corpse on the ground, and reached out to slowly wipe away the drop of blood that had splashed on his face. He whispered, "Kuang Jue, deal with everything." ”

"Yes." The shadow held two scythes in his hands, and his voice was hoarse as if stones were rubbing against each other.

The next day, Xu Yanzhuo received news that Qi Wenxiu had been assassinated again, and even touched the prince's Eight Eagles and Xia Laozu, who had withdrawn from the rivers and lakes for a long time.

Xu Yanzhuo's first reaction was whether Qi Wenxiu was injured or not.

Knowing that he was not hurt, he put his heart down. Then he knew that Yataka had suffered heavy casualties and that the ancestor had been killed, so he couldn't help but be overjoyed.

One of the prince's arms was cut off.

During this time, this series of things, the matter of proton, Wen Taifu's daughter, and the dark wing that seriously injured him this time. The crown prince is already far at a disadvantage, and I have to say that this Qi Wenxiu is really powerful. Fortunately, he chose to stand on his side, otherwise, he would have used all means to get rid of him.

However, now there is more appreciation and admiration for him, there is such a powerful person, and he is afraid that the world is not in his hands?

Everyone has their own secret guards in their hands, and the prince's eight eagles are things he has always been quite afraid of, and many news and secret things are constraints. It's a lot easier now.

Hurriedly prepared the horse and went to Qi Wenxiu's small courtyard.

I couldn't see at all that after a fierce battle last night, the servant who opened the door was still the middle-aged man with a loyal face and had been speechless, and I couldn't see anything strange at all. Even the people who sweep the fallen leaves in the courtyard are like ordinary servants. If they didn't know in advance, how could they imagine that they actually let the prince Bayin either die or be injured, and even kill the ancestor.

Qi Wenxiu made tea under the flower stand in the backyard, poured a cup for Xu Yanzhuo, and invited him to taste it.

"You really only have four subordinates in this house?" Xu Yanzhuo drank tea and asked, after getting along for so long and appreciating him, he is no longer so polite when he speaks.

Qi Wen said clearly, "Of course. ”

"If you say that the prince Yin Eight Eagles still believe it, but this Xia family ancestor?"

"The grass people are just a little tricky." Qi Wenxiu served tea to Xu Yan Zhuoman.

Xu Yanzhuo raised his eyebrows and said, "What kind of trick can make the ancestor head different?" ”

"King Rui will know in the future." Qi Wenxiu didn't be honest with the people he wanted to follow, this was a big taboo. Suspicious superiors never like people they can't control, let alone people who can't even see through.

However, Xu Yanzhuo found it interesting, obviously dressed as a scholar, but he had the aura of half of his body, and the other half was full of fog, which made people feel extremely mysterious. Someday, I'm going to peel it back and make you completely surrender at your feet.

The inertia of refusing to be in a high position made Xu Yanzhuo think so, but now they are chatting and drinking tea together, moving the chessboard, and dropping two chess pieces, but they have a feeling of confidant appreciation.

Xu Yanzhuo really regarded Qi Wenxiu as his heartfelt advisor, and ran to the small courtyard on the outskirts of the capital with all kinds of treasures in three days. Or maybe he knows that the uncontrollable factors in this person are too strong, but he still wants to run into this small courtyard twice in three days, and he can't wait to find out the secrets of this person and know him well.

At the beginning of spring, everything recovers.

Xu Yanzhuo invited Qi Wenxiu to go hunting in the Stygian Mountain together. The Stygian Mountain was originally a private place for the royal family, and it was only for the royal people to hunt and play. And you can only go up to the halfway point of the Stygian Mountain, where the emperors of the past dynasties ascended the throne and changed the throne before they could go up to hold a ceremony.

Originally, the top of the mountain was the ancestral tomb of the newcomers, but since it collapsed twenty years ago, it has been set as a forbidden place, and since those twenty years, no one has ever set foot in the mountainside above the halfway point of the mountain.

And at the foot of this Stygian Mountain, only the royal family can enter.

There are many tall and deep ancient trees in the mountain, and large trees that are more than 500 years old or more than 1,000 years old can be seen everywhere. At the time of spring, everything is recovering, elk sees rabbits, and there are countless rare beasts.

This time, King Rui invited Qi Wenxiu to go on a safari and enjoy this rare color of the Dark Mountain.

brought the guards, but at the foot of the mountain they stopped, and did not enter again. The two rode into the house on fierce horses, so happy and free.

Everything sprouts, the ancient trees are 100 meters high, towering into the sky, hares and foxes run everywhere, and there are all kinds of rare beasts.

Xu Yanzhuo led Qi Wenxiu to a cliff halfway up the mountain, you can see most of the mountain down, you can see a hundred meters straight to the foot of the mountain, a thousand meters high cliff, you can see the top of the mountain, the cut surface is smooth and straight, like a heaven-breaking priest splitting, incredible.

Standing at the cliff, looking down, it is like falling into the abyss, looking up, even the cliff wants to fall down.

Such a magical realm, even Qi Wenxiu was breathtaking.

This is the Stygian Mountain, and this is the source of the ghostly aura twenty years ago.

Wen Xiu looked at the unique divine scene in this heaven and earth, and his eyes were turbulent.

"Nice here, right?" Xu Yanzhuo stood in front of the protruding cliff, and the mountain wind blew his purple robe, which was blown to the sound of hunting.

"Breathtaking." Qi Wenxiu walked to Xu Yanzhuo's side and looked up at the thousand-meter-high cliff, "There is really such a unique place in the world. ”

"You haven't been on the top of the mountain." Xu Yanzhuo said as he pointed to the thousand-meter-high cliff above his head, "I went up there when I was a child. Twenty years ago ... ”

"Huh?" Qi Wenxiu asked inexplicably.

"You know, that's it. Xu Yanzhuo thought, this world only knows that the Hidden Mountain collapsed twenty years ago, "The Emperor Taizu originally did not want to give the throne to my father, but to the seventh prince at that time, he was only thirteen years old. And my father is the crown prince, and I already have a royal brother and me. But I didn't expect my grandfather to pass the throne to my seventh uncle despite everyone's opposition. ”

"And then?"
