One of the three courtyards in Shiwang City, adjacent to the Mocking Wind Palace, was the resting place of the Nine and a Half Quarters, and he had been here for several days.

After the dispute in the mocking wind phantom bow that day, although Shaohong didn't say anything on the surface, he still sent someone to bring Jiu Ban and Wei Xicheng to this mansion to settle down. A few days have passed, and Jiu Ban has been quietly staying in this house to cultivate on his own, but Wei Xicheng often walks around the streets to inquire about some news. As for the palace, Shaohong and Yue Mangong didn't make any moves, and no news came out there, as if they didn't plan to do anything.

But what Nine and a Half knew was that it was just the eve of the storm.

This night, the moon was thick, and the ninth half was meditating in the courtyard. As a Saint Realm powerhouse, he had countless cultivation methods, and one of the most effective ways was to absorb the moonlight essence at night to strengthen his body. After all, cultivation has reached this terrifying realm, and all things in heaven and earth can be turned into their own use.

Suddenly, footsteps were heard. When Jiu Ban opened his eyes, he saw Wei Xicheng directly over the wall and into the courtyard. Wei Xicheng in the eyes of the nine and a half was a little out of breath, as if he hurried over for some urgent matter. It was a little strange to see him look like this, so he asked, "Brother Wei, what's wrong?"

"Something's wrong, there's something wrong, Shaohong...... Shaohong wants to kill Shi Jia!"

"What?" Jiu Ban stood up all of a sudden, he looked at Wei Xicheng's face and said in disbelief: "Who does this mean, Shaohong's? Yue Mangong's, or is it the two of them?"

Wei Xicheng stood still, straightened up, and then said to Jiu Ban: "I don't know, but the news has come out, and the execution will be carried out at noon tomorrow." The Dharma field is already being set up in Shiwang City. ”

"What about Zhu Yan?" Jiu Ban said: "Shaohong only kills Shi Jia and doesn't kill Zhu Yan?"

Hearing Jiuhan's words, Wei Xicheng was obviously stunned for a moment, as if he was looking at a person who didn't know anything, and looked at Jiuhan: "You don't know? ”

When the news of Zhu Yan's self-hanging reached Jiuban's ears, he seemed to be thundering like five thunderbolts, and he couldn't believe all this. In fact, earlier today, Zhu Yan hanged himself in the cell because he was humiliated and didn't want to be killed as a general. When the guards of the cell found him, the body of the head of the Mocking Wind Country, who had cultivated in the semi-saint realm and had spent his whole life, had hardened.

Stumbling forward, he felt as if even the evening breeze was laughing at him. Zhu is tired of dying, for Jiuhan, this is like Wolong losing the young phoenix, Gao Shan no longer flowing water, he has no opponents, and no friends. At this time, his mind kept echoing back and forth what Zhu Yan said to him when he went to visit the other party in prison a few days ago:

"I don't have the meaning of living anymore, but you have to live well. The world is too dirty, and I am powerless to change it, but you are different. Nine-and-a-half, you will be the last piece in this big game, the one that decides the outcome. ”

Am I the one who decides the outcome? Unfortunately, you can't see it. For Jiu Han, he was hesitant to rob the prison. After all, although he knows a lot of things, the relationship between him and Shaohong can't be too stiff at this time, so there is no way to do something. When a person has scruples, he has bonds, and when he is led by bonds, he can't do something from his heart, and this is the case at this time.

Just thinking about it, Nine and a Half had already walked to the door of the courtyard. Behind him, Wei Xicheng followed and said, "What are you going to do so late? ”

After the two armies of the Prisoner Ox and the Fox conquered Shiwang City, in order to stabilize the people's hearts, there was a curfew in Shiwang City, but this curfew was obviously almost useless for Jiuhan. He didn't look back, but slowly opened the door of the house, and then said, "I'll go out for a walk, you just wait here for me not to move, I'll go and go back." ”

However, when he opened the door of the house, his eyes were stunned. The door is a huge red lacquered wooden door, which is very heavy. Nine and a half didn't push the door open completely, but only pushed one open. When he walked out, out of the corner of his eye, he saw a figure leaning against another door, as if he had fainted from exhaustion. After all, this is the house where Jiu Ban and Wei Xicheng live temporarily, and it is not good if people see someone fainting at the door. So Jiuhan turned around to see who the person was, but when he turned around, he was terrible, and after seeing the man's face clearly, Jiuhan froze directly in place, facing a familiar face, his mind was blank, and he didn't know what to say for a while.

Isn't that person Qiao He?

Seeing that Jiu Ban was standing at the door and didn't move after turning around, Wei Xicheng followed. Wei Xicheng walked over and asked, "Nine and a half, what's wrong?"

Immediately, he naturally saw Qiao He's figure. Although I don't know why this woman fainted at night at the door of the house where he and Jiu Ban temporarily lived, no one wants a person who doesn't know life and death to collapse at the door of his house, right? At this time, Jiu Ban slowly squatted down, gently hugged Qiao He, who was wearing a prison uniform and still had a little blood stains on his body, and then said a little stiffly: "Brother Wei, please help find a doctor to come over." ”

"Ahh

Qiao He is Zhu Yan's wife, and strictly speaking, she is also an important figure in Shiwang City. But at this time, Shiwang City was taken over by the two countries, so Qiao He became an enemy. Looking at Qiao He's appearance, Wei Xicheng knew in her heart that she must have escaped without permission after being imprisoned. Qiao He escaped from prison with such an identity, although she must have spent a lot of effort as a weak woman, but presumably the caretakers would never let their guard down and let her escape. So at this time, it is even more impossible for people to know that Qiao He is here with Jiuhan. But the two of them are not people who can't be saved when they see death, so it is inevitable to find a doctor for Qiao He, but the next thing is ......

Wei Xicheng's brain was in a mess, but he didn't stop, but ran forward.

It was already the middle of the night. An hour ago, Wei Xicheng found a doctor to see Qiao He's injury, and the doctor made it clear that Qiao He was only physically overdrawn and suffered a little skin injury, and needed to recuperate, so he left after a simple bandage. After Wei Xi sent the doctor away, he also left the room with interest, leaving only nine and a half in the room to wait quietly for Qiao He.

Jiuhan looked at Qiao He lying on the bed, and his mood was very complicated. After so much time, even Jiuhan didn't know what kind of feelings he should have for her. Deep in people's hearts, there is always a choice to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages in the subconscious, and they will always unconsciously avoid something. For example, Jiu and a half, he hadn't remembered anything about Xiaoyin Village for a long time, and Xiao Du and Tan Yiju hadn't appeared in his memory for a long, long time. There was a time when Jiu Half-Yi closed his eyes and was full of scenes of the slaughter of Xiaoyin Village. Those familiar people were alive one second ago, but the next second they were cold and mutilated corpses, bleeding and waiting there.

Naturally, he didn't want Qiao He to become like that. Although he had met many women in his life, when he saw Qiao He again, he suddenly found that this was the weakness in his heart.

Suddenly, Qiao He's eyelids moved slightly, which couldn't escape Jiuban's perception. So he stepped forward, leaned his face closer to Qiao He, and said softly, "Qiao He...... Are you awake?"

Qiao He didn't respond, which made him relax his guard at some point. That's right, a woman who was exiled but escaped alone, presumably her physical strength has been exhausted, and it is normal to have no reaction.

The older generation always says, "If you are not afraid of 10,000, you are afraid of what if," and there is always a time when people are alive. At the moment when the nine-and-a-half were relaxed, Qiao He's body that was lying on the bed suddenly exploded. It was just a time to breathe, and she took out a dagger from her bosom and plunged it into the nine-and-a-half dantian. Jiu Ban just had time to see Qiao He's eyes full of hatred, and before he could think about it, a sharp pain came from his abdomen. It was as if the pain of the body being torn apart spread from the abdomen in an instant and directly reached the top of the body, and all that could be felt from this knife was the hatred that was as thick as the abyss.

Although he reacted at the first time, he raised his left hand to support Qiao He's shoulder, and his right hand reached out to Qiao He's hand holding the knife, wanting to snatch the dagger. He really couldn't imagine why a woman who was in a coma an hour ago could have such tremendous power at this moment. The dantian is the source of the cultivator's cultivation, and all the qi in the body is mobilized from this. At this time, the nine-and-a-half dantian was punctured, and the breath leakage was greatly reduced, and the speed was naturally much slower, but Qiao He showed the strength of an adult man. Before Jiu Ban's right hand held the dagger, the dagger suddenly turned clockwise in Jiu Ban's body, and a huge wound was broken in his dantian, and the blood flowed like an infusion.

Finally, Jiuhan grasped the dagger, but his left hand slowly became weak. The situation seemed to have stabilized temporarily, but his strength was slowly weakening. At this moment, this Saint Realm powerhouse, who was famous among the Nine Kingdoms, seemed to have turned into a yellow-mouthed child, and said weakly: "You... You want to kill me?"

Qiao He's hands struggled for a moment, and after feeling that the dagger in his hand should not be able to move forward, he raised his head to look at Jiu Ban's eyes, lowered his voice and said, "You killed my husband, should I kill you?"

At this moment, Qiao He's eyes were amazing, at least for Jiu and a half. Whether it was after coming back from the dead or coming down from the battlefield of Huqin City, Jiuhan couldn't imagine that he would be able to see such a pair of eyes. It was simply a pair of dead man's eyes, and she actually came to kill me with the determination to die? Panic instantly invaded Nine-and-a-half's heart, which also made him feel a trace of negligence in his heart again. This man suddenly despaired, how could there be such a day, the woman who was hidden deep in his heart would assassinate himself with a mortal mentality, and use himself in the process?

The mind is turning back and forth, and it seems that there are big dramas staged in the heart of Jiuhan. But Qiao He didn't miss this opportunity, her hands suddenly moved away from Jiuhan's body and the dagger, and then her body suddenly rushed forward, and she hugged Jiuhan at once. It's just that this hug is almost the same as the hug of death, and while hugging Jiuhan's shoulders, Qiao He bit the other party's neck in one bite. After the dantian was broken, the nine and a half years of cultivation were greatly reduced, and at this time, there was no protection on his neck, so he was bitten on it by a woman.

The pain was unbearable, and a huge howl came from the nine-and-a-half room, like a sharp sword, far and wide.

Blood ran down Nine-and-a-half's neck, over his shoulders and chest, and finally dripped onto the bed. Qiao He was still lying on his shoulder, but at this time, the woman's arms were hanging weakly, and the whole person was already unconscious leaning on his shoulder.

Jiuhan's hands were raised, and one hand passed from under Qiao He's armpit to support her body, and there was nowhere to put it. A few seconds ago, Qiao He's voice sounded in his ears, and he clearly remembered that those two words were completely different from when he stabbed a knife, "Nine and a half?", which was a question sentence, and a completely different name. She seemed to want to say something more, but immediately fainted.

Immediately, Wu Liangzi appeared in front of him.

Immediately afterwards, the door of Jiuhan's room was kicked open with a "bang", and Wei Xicheng broke in, but the scene in front of him made him wonder: Jiuhan sat on the bed, Qiao He pounced on Jiuhan's body, and Wu Liangzi stood behind Qiao He. There was blood on the bed, but I don't know whose blood it was.

But the lonely men and widows are in the same room, and where the blood comes from still arouses Wei Xicheng's reverie. Following this reverie, the thoughts in Wei Xicheng's mind couldn't help but be crooked, and a mysterious expression appeared on his face.

"Brother Wei, don't laugh, come and help!" Looking at the mysterious expression on Wei Xicheng's face, he couldn't cry or laugh for a while, but he couldn't do anything. Originally, it was a lonely man and a widow living in the same room, but now Wu Liangzi suddenly broke through the window, and a man and two women stayed in this closed space, which inevitably made people think of something.

Helping Jiuhan unload Qiao He from his shoulders and lay him flat on the bed, Wei Xi took it and saw the scar on Jiuhan's neck in turn.

"Nine and a half, what's wrong with you?" After speaking, he also looked at Wu Liangzi on the side, but when he saw the murderous gaze on Wu Liangzi's face, he immediately turned his face around.

It's better not to provoke people at this time.

Jiuhan, who broke free of his hands, let out a long sigh of relief, and then said, "Brother Wei, please take Qiao He away and take him back to Xiaoyin Village to recuperate." Something is going to happen in Shiwang City, and it is not advisable to stay here for a long time. You go first, and I will go to you. ”

"Xiaoyin Village?" Wei Xicheng looked ignorant, after all, this place was something he had never heard of.

Looking at Wei Xicheng's expression, Jiu and a half suddenly came to his senses, and he patted his head, "I forgot that you don't know Xiaoyin Village, I'll tell you where it is in a while." As he spoke, he slowly pulled out the dagger that Qiao He had stabbed into his body. The blood flowed out slowly, and when the dagger was completely pulled out, Wu Liangzi's staff, which was already sitting opposite him, waved lightly and sealed the wound.

Although he had healed after going up, the fact that his dantian was broken was known to Wei Xicheng and Wu Liangzi. Looking at the grinning face of the nine and a half teeth, Wei Xicheng said worriedly: "Your body is like this, otherwise it's better to walk with us." ”

"No, I have to stay here. ”

"Assassinate Shaohong?" Obviously, Wei Xicheng understood what he was going to do, so the man's face suddenly became gloomy. "When your body is not injured, you may not be able to defeat Shaohong in your heyday, isn't it just to die now?"

Jiu Ban smiled and said, "It's not going to be sent to death." I stayed here mainly to rescue Shi Jia, tomorrow is the time for Shi Jia to go to the court, I can't watch such a simple child fall victim to politics. What's more," he turned his head to look at Wu Liangzi, the smile on his face was undiminished, "Isn't this Wu Xiaoxian to help me?"

"I didn't say to help you, don't just drag me into the water. Wu Liangzi raised his voice and said, "I just happened to pass by and came over to send you some information, but I didn't mean anything else." ”

Looking at Wu Liangzi's expression, Jiuhan said flatteringly: "Yes, yes, Master Wu Xiaoxian just did me a favor casually, and he didn't mean to rebel." ”

"You!" Seeing Jiu Ban's out-of-tune appearance, Wu Liangzi even wanted to hit him. But feeling the chaotic aura in his body, he finally withdrew his hand. On the side, Wei Xicheng seemed to want to say something, but was stopped by Jiu Ban raising his hand.

"Brother Wei doesn't need to say much, please take Qiao He away after a while, you must save Qiao He's life. ”

At this time, his eyes were full of sincerity, which made it impossible to refuse.
