Chapter 9: The Wind Rises
Chu Xun came to Shen Ji early in the morning, and naturally there was only one thing he said. Yesterday, I finally stopped Shen Ji, but I didn't know that Chengye was also here, not to mention that this matter was hidden from Chengye, but to say that the relationship between the two was somewhat embarrassing. The princess of Dongyan is Chengye's aunt, who rebelled against Dongyan for Shen Ji and Emperor Yan, and then died in Lianyunfeng. If these two people meet, how can they be born?
When Chu Xun came, Shen Ji was drinking a cup of hot tea, and when he saw Chu Xun, he raised his head and said unhurriedly: "Gongzi came to visit Shen so early, isn't he worried that Shen will run away in the middle of the night?" ”
Chu Xun made a calm face, "Chu is here to tell Mr. that something has happened in the mansion recently, and it is best for Mr. not to step out of the West Chamber without permission." ”
Shen Ji said: "I thought I was just inviting me to live in the guest house, but it turned out to be house arrest."
Chu Xun explained: "Mr. misunderstood, but I invited Mr. to the house, and few people knew."
Shen Ji raised his eyebrows, and suddenly understood, "Are there any guests in the house?" ”
"Yes."
"Who is it? Something to do with me? ”
"This ......" Chu Xun was a little embarrassed.
Shen Ji saw that he didn't want to say, and asked, "Have I met him?"
Chu Xun thought
Thinking about it, when Shen Ji left, Chengye was only four or five years old, and the two should not have seen each other, even if they did, after so many years, they might not still have an impression. He shook his head: "No, I haven't seen it." ”
Shen Ji spread his hands and disagreed, "Then what are you worried about?" ”
"But ......"
Shen Ji interrupted him, "Okay, I'll just promise you." ”
Chu Xun arched his hand, "Thank you, sir." ”
Chu Xun wanted to leave, but Shen Ji invited him to sit down and drink tea, and the two discussed the situation in the world, Chu Xun was surprised, although Shen Ji had been away from the world for many years, he still knew the situation in the world. And Shen Ji also learned that Chu Xun was the steward of Wuyike in the border area, and he was also quite famous in the rivers and lakes, so he was really young and promising.
Speaking of the elimination of the Spirit Clan after the extinction of the Wu Clan, there was not much turmoil in the world, but now Kyushu, which has maintained peace for fourteen years on the surface, is about to be broken.
When Yun Huang came, Chu Xun had already left, and Shen Ji was playing chess in the pavilion alone, playing very attentively, and he didn't seem to notice her. Yun Huang was angry in his heart, and stood outside the pavilion and refused to go any further. After standing for a while, Shen Ji turned around and asked, "Why didn't you say a word when you came, what are you doing standing there?" ”
Yun Huang flattened his mouth and did not speak.
"What are you doing with a straight face, did anyone bully you?"
Yun Huang squatted down and threw stones into the pool on the side, "Yes, someone bullied me." ”
"Who dares to bully you and tell the master, I'll go and vent your anger." Shen Ji walked over and leaned over and asked.
Yun Huang was originally angry that he was too attentive to playing chess and didn't see himself, but as soon as Shen Ji asked this, she suddenly remembered Cheng Yelai, so she said, "Some people say that my name is not good?" It is taboo to say that the word cloud is deserted. ”
Shen Ji was originally trying to coax her to make a joke, but he was a little surprised to hear her say this, "Oh? Who said that? ”
Yun Huang took a small pebble and drew on the ground, and said casually: "Chengye."
Shen Ji's expression suddenly froze. Although he has lived in seclusion over the years, he is not completely ignorant of the world. He is not unfamiliar with the name Chengye, the Dongyan royal family is surnamed Cheng, and Chengye is the third son of Emperor Yan Chengxi.
He suddenly understood that Chu Xun's unspeakable concealment turned out to be this. It seems that Wuyike and the Dongyan royal family are indeed related, but Chu Xun deliberately concealed Chengye, indicating that he was not helping Dongyan this time, and it was even more impossible for Liucang to do so, and he had not heard of any dealings between Dongyan and Liucang in recent years. In this way, there was only Yin Xia, thinking of the group of people he met in Qiluo Mountain, Shen Ji was more and more invented in his heart. It's just that I don't know when Wuyike and the Yin Xia royal family were involved?
When Yun Huang looked up, he happened to see Shen Ji in a daze, raised his hand and shook it twice in front of his eyes, and called the master twice, before Shen Ji came back to his senses.
Yun Huang asked, "Master, what's wrong with you?" ”
Shen Ji shook his head and smiled, "It's okay." Then he found a stone and sat down, and said to Yun Huang: "That person is right, the name Yun Huang is really not very good, it is the master who is not thoughtful, now we are in Dongyan, but in the future, we will not be able to do anything, but in the future, we will ......" He paused, "In the future, the master will call you Yun'er." ”
Yun Huang looked at Shen Ji, thought for a moment, and then nodded.
The sun was just right, the pond was shining, and the branches of the trees cast dappled light and shadow in the sun, and the master and apprentice seemed to be happy on the surface
。 And Yun Huang didn't notice it, and Shen Ji's eyes were faintly worried.
Even if this day was spent peacefully in Chu Yuan, the sun was getting west, and the two of them went back to the house to sleep after having dinner and playing for a while.
The bell had just passed, and the moonlight was cold.
The wind suddenly rose, and the leaves all over the courtyard were rustling, mixed with the sound of small footsteps, gradually getting closer, and the murderous machine was darkened.
A team of black-clothed men came by the moonlight, with swords in their hands. The doorman was alert and immediately drew his sword to fight back, but the other party was outnumbered and taken by surprise, and soon fell behind
Chu Xun was still asleep, when someone came to report that an assassin had broken in, and immediately got up and came out with a sword and clothes, and summoned people from all departments to fight together.
Those people were wearing night clothes and covering their faces, their eyes were gloomy, and they were ruthless, and they could faintly see that they were tricks of the rivers and lakes, but they were well-organized, well-trained, and like the style of the government, and they went all the way to Xilin Yuan to kill, and it seemed that they were coming for Shen Ji. Soon, guards from all over the world gathered. The Wuyi Kemen people are not vegetarians, and the two sides are evenly matched, and between the swords and swords, they gradually become a draw.
Shen Ji was awakened, and when he opened the door, he saw two teams of black-clothed men fighting together, the sound of the wind hunting, mixed with the sound of sword grinding, and the air was full of the smell of blood. His brows tightened, and he suddenly remembered something, turned around and walked towards the cloud barren room.
In the curtain, Yun Huang's whole person was lying on the bed with the word "big", not even covered with a quilt, revealing a large belly, breathing evenly, but he was sleeping soundly. Shen Ji breathed a sigh of relief, straightened her body, folded the quilt for her, and looked at the pink and tender little face of Yunhuang in her sleep, and her heart was full of mixed feelings for a while.
When it was, the door was pushed open with a bang, and Shen Ji looked back and said vigilantly: "Who?!" ”
Three people broke into the room, all of them were tall, holding swords in their hands, with awe-inspiring killing intent, and their bodies were already stained with blood. When the leader saw Shen Ji, his brows furrowed, and he suddenly said, "Wrong!" "I want to walk sideways.
"Wait!" Shen Ji shouted, his tone was cold, "Do you still want to leave when you come?!" When he spoke, his eyes changed, the person had swept out, and at the same time, the palm wind split out, the man turned sideways, dodged, and then suddenly the sword blade turned in front of Shen Ji, Shen Ji's right foot was wrong back, avoiding the sword blade, pinching the tip of the man's sword with his backhand and flicking it gently, the sword body trembled, the man's mouth was numb, he could barely hold the sword, so he had to hurriedly collect the sword, but he was a step late, Shen Ji had already struck out with a palm, snatched his sword with his hand, and the sword was about to stab past, the man swung a fist, and there was a short blade between his fingers, almost brushing Shen Ji's face.
Ran Fang dodged the short blade, and two more long swords slashed, Shen Ji swung his sword to block, and when he caught a glimpse of a short blade flying in, he hurriedly swung the sword away, retreated from the ground, took advantage of the momentum, and dodged.
The three of them took advantage of the situation to attack, but before they could hit Shen Ji, he had already stood on their sides with his palm, and the sword was stained with blood, and at the same time, the person who was close to Shen Ji fell to the ground, and a blood mark on his neck was very distinct.
The two attacked again, and Shen Ji retreated again and again, but led them out of the house.
Outside the house, there was also a fight. The sound of swords was mixed with screams and shouts. This scene has not been seen for many years, and his heart is surging with blood, and his heart is beating violently. He was silent on the surface, but in fact, he was secretly working and waiting for battle. They each stood on one side and attacked, Shen Ji's eyebrows moved slightly, his toes were paused, his body was stretched, and he jumped up and down, and the two of them also jumped up, but Shen Ji gathered his strength on his feet, and suddenly fell, and when he fell, he stepped on one of the Tianling covers, raised his hand to avoid the sharp blade coming from the right, and was about to break the man's wrist with his backhand, when he saw more people killing him, he had to quickly turn over.
In the blink of an eye, they were surrounded by seven or eight people.
He was alone, and the other party was overwhelming, and he was ruthless, so he was naturally a little overwhelmed.
During the struggle, the man who had just fought with him asked, "Who are you?" Where is the Third Highness? ”
"Third Highness?" Shen Ji sneered, the only one who can be called the Third Highness in this mansion is Chengye. No wonder, how could he be chased and killed when he left Qiluo Mountain, it turned out that these people came to Chengye at night.
Shen Ji said: "I don't know any Third Highness, but you disturbed my purity, don't want to leave here alive!"
These people knew that they had found the wrong direction, and they were very angry, and they just wanted to solve this person quickly so that they could find Chengye, so they made a fatal move and showed no mercy, even if Shen Ji worked hard, his clothes were also torn in many places. After fighting for a long time, seeing that Shen Ji couldn't be injured, several people exchanged glances and suddenly changed their moves. The three of them squatted slightly, and the other three took off from their shoulders, and then the six of them attacked at the same time, for a while, Shen Ji was attacked by the enemy on his back and had nowhere to hide, so he had to dance his sword indiscriminately to block, but the remaining one person suddenly attacked from the front, and the sword pointed straight at the heart. Just as he couldn't cope with it, a long sword suddenly flew from behind, and the man was facing him in the middle. He was able to breathe a sigh of relief and cut the swords of the three people above,
Raising his foot on the tip of the sword, he spun out, kicked the two people down, and then swung the sword with his backhand, and when he landed, the sword was stained with blood, and the two were already dead.
At this time, a touch of green clothes came to his eyes and joined the battle, and it turned out that the sword was Chu Xun's.
He asked as he played, "Is the gentleman okay?"
"I can't die." As they spoke, the two had already killed three of them together.
"It was my negligence that frightened my husband."
"But they're not coming for me, so let's go and see another guest in your house."
As soon as these words came out, Chu Xun realized that the purpose of these people was to bear the night and not Shen Ji, but he couldn't leave Shen Ji alone.
The two of them joined forces, and the Assassin naturally found it difficult to find it difficult, and he also knew that he had found the wrong direction, and that any further struggle would only add to the casualties. One of them said: "Don't fall in love with war, it's important to find the Third Highness!"
So after a few hurried moves, he threw several hidden weapons to distract them and quickly evacuated. Seeing this, the doorman also chased after him.
For a moment, there were only corpses left on the ground. Chu Xun saw that everyone had withdrawn, and hurriedly waved his hand and said to Shen Ji: "Sir, I have to go and see Gongzi first." Seeing Shen Ji nodding, he hurriedly performed light skills.
Shen Ji killed seven or eight people in a row, and his white clothes were stained with blood, at this time, he looked at the corpses all over the ground, threw the sword in his hand, took out a piece of white silk to wipe his hands, and then threw it aside, turned around and went to the house.
Yun Huang just woke up when Shen Ji entered the house, she propped herself up with her hands, rubbed her eyes and asked, "Master, what's going on outside?" It's noisy. ”
"It's okay, it's okay already." Shen Ji rubbed her hair and soothed, "Go to sleep, the master will accompany you." ”
"Hmm." Yun Huang pulled his hand over and pillowed it under his face, as if it would be very reassuring in this way, but after a while, she noticed that something was wrong, she frowned and opened her eyes and asked, "Why does the master smell of blood?" ”
