The rain, Longding County of the Great Chu State has not been seen for many years, but tonight, it came suddenly.

In the middle of the night, the frost was heavy, and the torrential rain fell slowly, falling on the dead leaves by the river, splashing the water, falling in the water, it became a splash, a few pieces of fragments, softly falling on the white fox fur, a woman with a light veil to cover her face stood quietly in the bow of the boat, only revealing a pair of cold black eyes, looking into the distance.

"Sister, it's raining." The woman behind her had a peach blossom face, revealing a hint of surprise in her soft words.

Xia Ye'er couldn't help but raise her hand when she heard the sound, and a torrential rain fell on her slender fingertips, melting into a puddle of water in an instant.

How beautiful, such rain has not been seen in ten years.

An illusion appeared in front of me dimly, and it seemed to be reflected more and more clearly by the rain scene.

It seems to be a flower or a non-flower, and no one regrets to follow the teaching.

The starry eyes flashed slightly, revealing a trace of sadness, the white fingertips were wiped on the shoulders, gently dusting off the rain, leaning over and walking back to the cabin, and after a while, a leisurely piano sound floated out of the cabin, some sad, but intoxicating to hear.

This river is the Liluo River, and down the river, it is the imperial city of Chu - Longding County. Every summer, the river will overflow the embankment, so there are few homes on both sides of the river, and it coincides with today, the seventh day of the Lunar New Year, which is the day of the annual grand event of the Shengyan Pavilion, and all the women will take the stage to dance. But everyone who hears of this shall enter the city.

The people of Longding County of the Great Chu State can not know where the palace is, but no one knows where the Shengyan Pavilion is.

The smoke is fragrant, and the Oiran enters the imperial city.

Shengyan Pavilion was originally an ordinary green building, but three years ago a mysterious woman came here with a girl, and the woman was rumored to have the beauty of the country and the city, and enough to confuse the world. She played a piano, and the whole building listened in fascination.

The woman said that all the money she earned was given to her mother-in-law, and there was only one condition - she did not sell her body - her body had a more important use. The mother-in-law hesitated for a moment and agreed—not because she felt that the conditions were harsh, but because she was too surprised that such a beautiful woman would ask to be a Qinglou woman. Since they came, the Shengyan Pavilion was full of people every night, and the mother-in-law, Zhang's mother, was overjoyed, so she kept her promise not to force them to pick up customers—she knew that what she couldn't get in a man's heart was always the best. But there are very few people who have really seen this woman - the so-called ones have only listened to the sound of the piano through the veil - her piano sound can always make people fall into it and get carried away. Because of this, there is always an endless stream of visitors, especially today, who are looking forward to seeing the face. And this woman is Xia Ye'er who is on the Liluo River at the moment.

The people on the shore have gone into the city to see the excitement, and here and now, under the night, except for the sound of the piano, it is empty.

Suddenly there was a rustling sound in the woods on both sides, not loud, but it really reached the ears of the two people on the boat.

Xia Ye'er frowned, and called softly: "Duo'er......"

"Understood, sister." The woman at the bow of the boat replied in a low voice, her right foot moving back half a step, and her hand poking secretly to her waist.

Not far away is an arched stone bridge, and the boat sailed across the bridge and arrived at Longding County of the Great Chu State. Suddenly, the sound of hooves roared from far and near in the night, and on Qiu's back, two men in black cloaks were carried.

"Master, something is wrong." In the darkness of the night, the latter whispered.

The man in front of him immediately stopped Qiu, and a pair of thin black shining eyes looked coldly into the depths of the woods, and several black shadows immediately caught in his eyes, and he couldn't help but snort coldly - this kind of kung fu dared to stab him. The ears were unconsciously attracted by the sound of the piano in the dark night, and they couldn't help but follow the reputation.

Suddenly, several dark shadows jumped up from the woods and flew up from the eaves of the shore to the shore.

Duo'er's hand tightened, a hidden weapon had already fallen in his hand, and he was about to make a move, but he found that the dozen or so black shadows were actually directly aimed at the two men on the bridge, and the sword light flashed in the dark night against the bright shadows under the bright moon.

"Master, be careful!" Before the words fell, the man in front of him had already risen into the air, and he drew a long sword in his right hand, and by the night, he could only see the sword edge dancing, and only for a moment, those black shadows that pounced on him fell completely before they could make a sound, and they were silent.

"Let's go ......" Seeing this, Xia Ye'er lowered her head and said lightly while gently swiping the strings.

When Duo'er heard this, she immediately withdrew the hidden weapon in her hand and beckoned the old captain who had been frightened and silent behind the boat to row the oars again.

On the stone bridge, the man gently lifted his head, revealing a handsome face, his resolute lines revealed a domineering spirit that could not be concealed, and his eyes watched thoughtfully as the ship slowly sailed under his eyes.

The sword and sword are shadowing, but the sound of the piano on the boat is not chaotic at all, who will this woman who plays the piano be? His eyes followed the boat for a while before he withdrew it.

"Let's go!" A moment later, he whispered, and the two horses crossed the bridge and went down the river, disappearing into the darkness.

Longding County of the Great Chu State is so lively tonight, it can be described as brightly lit. The most lively is the Shengyan Pavilion, with a big lantern hanging at the door, and the four-storey ancient building has long been surrounded by people on the third floor and the outer three floors.

"Sorry, it's full." The two good-looking women at the door said coldly and politely, and closed the door of the Shengyan Pavilion with their hands, and the crowd at the door saw that there was no hope, and the rain was getting heavier and heavier, and the quarrel gradually dispersed after a few words.

On the other side of the Smoke Pavilion, with the faint light reflected in the rain, the two women slowly walked in through the side door, walked down the hidden staircase to the fourth floor, and pushed the door open, it was actually an exquisite private room. The walls of the room were plastered with pepper paste, and on one side was a small but delicate stove with bursts of sandalwood and heat wafting from it, and on one side of the door hung a thick curtain that could be lifted to look down on the building.

"Sister, the person on the bridge just now," Duo'er said eagerly as soon as she closed the door, "Look at the speed of that swordsmanship, it looks like a ......" I thought of a name in my heart, but I didn't dare to say it.

"Unwarranted speculation, what do we have to do with other people's affairs!" Xia Ye'er shouted softly with an indifferent face, and took off the fox fur with her hand, but she was thinking in her heart.

Red Flower Sect, Duo'er hesitated but did not say the name she knew. The Red Flower Sect is a mysterious sect in the Qi Kingdom, the swordsmanship is extremely fast and accurate, if the sword is out of the sheath, the move will be fatal, but this is not the most important - it is rumored that the swordsmanship of the Red Flower Sect is only passed on to the royal heirs, and tonight it can make more than a dozen people all die under the sword in the blink of an eye, except for the Red Flower Sect, there is no other in the world, that is to say, the man in Fang Cai is very likely to be from the Qi State......

Suddenly, there was a commotion downstairs, Xia Ye'er and Duo'er leaned over to look, it turned out that someone was knocking on the door of the Smoke Pavilion.
