Chapter 1: If You Meet the Princess Series
"Run, go to your uncle King Yue, he may be able to save your life!"
"No, no, I'm going to be with you. The princess cried and begged desperately, but was forced into the secret passages of the palace by five or six guards.
In the main hall of the palace, a few flickering candles reflected the vicissitudes of a king, who sat weakly on the throne, his face was like death, and his chest was full of anger and unwillingness.
At this moment, outside the palace, there were screams and shouts of killing, and the scene was chaotic. The soldiers of the Northern Liang Kingdom have already captured the entire Twilight Kingdom.
Soon, the door of the king's palace was slammed open, and a group of soldiers rushed in, and the soldiers stood in two neat lines on either side, and then slowly walked in four people.
Looking at these four men, the king's eyes turned from anger to horror, and finally to infinite worry.
Suddenly, a little cold flashed, and I saw a very short knife at the center of the king's eyebrows silently flow a stream of blood, and then the king's head gradually lowered, "My poor daughter!" As soon as the words fell, the king quietly lost his movement.
............
In the cold winter season, the north wind howls and the snow falls. A snow-white mountain eagle jumped down from the cliff, and then spread its wings slightly, taking advantage of the strong wind between the mountains, swaying upwards and soaring into the sky. Under the firmament, the mountain eagle looks down at the earth, and in the gaze, between the heaven and the earth, there is only a vast expanse. After some inspection, the wingspan of the mountain eagle is slightly oblique, and it goes out of the mountain, leaving only a long roar, echoing the sky.
In the vast world, a little figure slowly walked on the snow, looking small and weak.
This figure is the princess who fled here, Han Xin.
Han Xin braved the wind and snow and walked towards the ruined temple on a small hill with difficulty, although he was wearing a thick mink coat, he still couldn't cover the petite body that seemed to be going away with the wind.
............
She braved the heavy snow to come to Liangmiao Village this time to find a strange person.
This time to go to the country of Yue, the road is far and dangerous, halfway through, the several guards who accompanied Han Xin are already dead, and they have escaped, and now she is left alone, if she goes on like this, I am afraid that she will not be able to get out of the twilight country.
So, she remembered a strange person, who had heard that this person had single-handedly repelled the army of Liang and saved Liangmiao Village from disaster. True or not, she had no choice but to try her luck.
But she didn't know that she had already been targeted by a killer.
............
On the mountain cliff, a black falcon, fluttering its wings, slowly landed on a man's shoulder, the man opened his palm, the falcon pecked a few times on his palm, the man withdrew his arm, glanced at the small hill in the distance, and then took two soldiers and quickly rushed down the mountain.
............
Coming to the ruined temple, Han Xin slowly pushed open the door and found that it was pitch black inside, and the dilapidated statue of the god showed that this place had been abandoned for a long time.
She walked inside, found a neat place to sit down, and was about to untie the hat cord around her chin when she suddenly heard a thud behind a broken screen.
She immediately held her breath, quietly drew the long sword at her waist, and slowly walked behind the screen.
Suddenly, a white object stomped out, causing her to swing her sword and slash at it. Due to the excessive force, the long sword came out of his hand and smashed to the ground with a sonorous sound.
When she looked closely, she realized that the white object was nothing more than a rabbit with a wounded leg.
The escape for more than ten days in a row had made her too sensitive, and she knew that she urgently needed to rest and adjust her mood, and if she continued like this, she was afraid that she would be scared to death.
She breathed a sigh of relief, picked up the sword from the ground, took off her hat, and sat down on the ground......
"That's not right!"
She felt only sitting on a soft cylinder, between two cylinders, to be exact.
"Is this ......?"
She poked her little head into horror and looked, yes, it was a person, and it was alive! she could feel the hot anger coming out of him.
Han Xin immediately stood up, not knowing what to do, hesitating, a strong wind blew open the flower window on the high wall, accompanied by petal snowflakes, a weak pillar of light fell on the man.
She was stunned, and looked at the man in front of her stupidly, the man was about thirty years old, lying on his back on the ground, wearing only a thin green shirt, the back of his head was pillowed on his overlapping arms, his eyes were slightly closed, his long hair covered the right half of his face, and his handsome and white face had a faint smile on his face, comfortable and calm.
Next to the man's slightly muscular body was a delicate long knife that stretched from his chest to his ankles.
After a long time, Han Xin slowly came back to his senses and whispered to himself: "This person wears so little, and I don't know how to sleep so soundly on this cold ground in this cold winter." Just now, the sound of the sword falling to the ground didn't wake this person up, it's really strange!"
"Rabbit, my rabbit!" The man suddenly woke up and shouted in a daze as Han Xin looked at it.
"Rabbit?" "Ah, not good!" Han Xin realized that the rabbit just now had run to the door, so he hurriedly ran to catch the rabbit again.
"Here, your rabbit. ”
"The girl doesn't seem to be from here. On such a cold day, why did you come to this deserted place alone?" the man glanced at Han Xin, then yawned and stretched, and said slowly.
"I'm here to find someone. ”
"Looking for someone?"
Han Xin looked at the man in front of him again, the man was sitting on the ground with a long knife, his eyes were bright but godless, like a hermit who didn't care about the world, more like a wandering and homeless ronin.
In short, he didn't look like a bad person, and after hesitating for a moment, Han Xin said: "I want to go to the Yue Kingdom in the south, and I want to find a person with strong martial arts skills to be a guard." I heard that someone here once defeated the army of the Liang State, do you know who it is?"
"Yes. The man hesitated, frowned slightly, and said: "But it may make you run for nothing, this person is not as you think, the little girl should find another master." ”
"Why?"
"He's a demon cursed by demons, that's what the people in the village say. ”
"People and demons. Either way, I'm going to have to find that person! ”
The man glanced at Han Xin slightly, lowered his head, wiped the scabbard, and said slowly: "When the snow stops, go down the mountain, and not far ahead is Liangmiao Village, and when you see that person, you will know." ”
"What's your name, why do you sleep here alone, and wear so little?"
"It's no good for you to call me famous. Living here for the time being, the clothes are only on the body, and I don't feel cold, so ......" said the man, yawning again.
"What a weirdo!" Han Xin sighed in his heart.
"Go and gather some firewood, I'll slaughter this rabbit, roast it, and we'll eat it." In this weather, it is estimated that there are no animals coming out to move, and it is impossible to catch another one. ”
An hour later, when the two had finished eating, the man, named Na Wu, began to be sleepy again, yawning incessantly, and then lay down on the ground and fell asleep.
............
The heavy snow outside the house still doesn't mean to stop. In the heavy snow, three figures shuttled between them, and the man at the head had a falcon resting on his shoulder, he looked at the footprints on the snow, and said, "The footprints are new, and the princess is in front." Let's go!"
However, the two soldiers behind him were too timid to move forward.
"What's wrong with you?"
"My lord, there is Liangmiao Village ahead. ”
"What's wrong with Liangmiao Village?"
"Your Excellency, I don't know that there is a strange man there who repelled our army of 2,000 men half a month ago. If the princess is there, it would be better for us to think about it in the long run. ”
"So what? Hurry up, or you will stay here forever, waiting with the snow to melt by the sun. ”
The man glanced at the two of them with the rest of his eyes, and the two of them felt the cold light of death coming to their faces, and they were so frightened that they hurriedly followed.
............
Not long after Na Wu fell asleep, the door of the ruined temple was kicked open, and the snowflakes whistled along with the cold wind, and three men rushed in.
"Princess, I've finally found you!
"You guys!"
Seeing this, Han Xin immediately drew his saber and wanted to fight to the death, but was stunned by the man in charge.
The other two soldiers lifted Han Xin and walked towards the gate, and as soon as they reached the door, the soldiers in front of them suddenly tripped and fell to the ground.
At this time, the three of them found that at the door, at some point, leaning against the door, sat a middle-aged man with a knife, and the man lowered his head as if he was asleep.
The tripped soldier roared angrily and swung his knife at Nano, but before the knife fell, his head had already rolled to the ground. And the name is nothing, it is still the sitting position just now, and the knife has not been unsheathed.
The other two froze, standing still and not daring to move, the man in charge swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and his voice could be clearly distinguished.
"Monster! it's a monster! this is the monster!" ......the other soldier cried out, running out the door like a madman.
At this time, Nano slowly raised his head, opened his eyes, looked at the man in charge, and said slowly, "Aren't you running?"
The man frowned, his expression was serious, and he did not answer, he knew that if he did not bring the princess back, he would only die a worse death. In this world, no one can escape the palm of that adult's hand. Whether it's yourself or a princess, sooner or later you'll be caught.
Thinking of this, the corners of the man's mouth raised slightly, and he took out a three-meter-long soft knife wrapped around his waist, and waved it at will, and the dilapidated screen on the side was cut to pieces.
"It seems that war is inevitable. Nano stood up and patted the dust off his body.
The man danced the soft knife quickly, because the movement was too fast, the soft knife looked like six snakes crawling forward, and there was no dead end to the name of the no, when the soft knife hit the body of the name, a strange scene happened.
I saw Nano standing in place, seemingly not moving, but his body lightly dodged every blow of the soft knife, but the speed of movement was too fast, and all the images were superimposed, looking like he was not moving. Only a remnant of Nano's side shows how it all happened.
At this time, Han Xin, who was lying on the side, woke up, his eyes widened, and he looked at the scene in front of him in disbelief: under the frantic cutting of the soft knife, the countless disconnected pictures were connected into a smooth image, Na Wu stood in place, his right hand slowly, slowly moved towards the hilt, time passed second by second, and at the moment when his fingertips touched the hilt, the man's dancing soft knife suddenly stopped, and then, blood flowed from his chest and the corners of his mouth.
"You shouldn't have saved her, you don't know anything about her, sooner or later you'll regret it. With that, the man fell to the ground.
"You shouldn't have kicked through my door. Nano removed his hand from the hilt of the knife and said flatly.
"You!?, who the hell are you?" Han Xin said as he looked at Na Wu with an expression of indescribable surprise.
"The nameless name is self-named......"
Outside, the snow had stopped, and the setting sun peeked out from the orange clouds on the horizon, and the light shone obliquely onto the earth, staining the pure white world with a red halo.
