Liu Qingxue finished pulling the noodle soup in the bowl in three or two bites, then rode on the horse again, and headed north again. The sword that Chen Ye had just given was tied to the horse's back with a rope, and she was reluctant to discard the light sword Snow Shadow that had been used for several years, and it was stuffed into the package on the horse's hip, revealing only a small piece of scabbard.

Yueguan is only more than ten miles away from the Beiwangcheng in the south of Shuozhou, Liu Qingxue travels with a horse, and the outline of the Beiwangcheng can be seen in the flying snowflakes before sunset.

But to Liu Qingxue's surprise, in this weather, outside the city gate of Beiwang City, there were actually people sparsely scattered, sitting directly on the ground that had been covered with a thin layer of snow. There are one or two hundred people here, all dressed in military clothes, all military steel knives, even if they sit on the ground in twos and threes, the steel knives do not leave their hands, when Liu Qingxue rode by, they all looked back at her vigilantly, and then lowered their heads again, without extra noise and movements.

It's a disciplined team. Such a thought flashed through Liu Qingxue's mind.

She slowly approached the city gate, and through the crowd and the whirring wind, she suddenly faintly heard the angry shouts of a young man near the city wall.

Liu Qingxue turned her head to look over, looked over the snow whistling in the cold wind, and saw a familiar figure. The bouncing boy shouted towards the city wall, and there were two figures, an old man and a young man, the girl was petite and lovely, and the old man was thin but tall.

"I said that I am Liu Binyuan, how can I prove it! The name is not written on my face!" Liu Binyuan seemed to be excited under the city wall, and shouted at the top of his voice to the city wall. It's just that the city gate is closed, and the guards are indifferent, and they don't seem to hear Liu Binyuan's voice clearly, maybe they don't care if they hear it clearly.

Looking at the young man in the wind and snow, the corners of Liu Qingxue's mouth rose slightly. She slowly rode her horse closer. Feng Jianbei, who was beside Liu Binyuan, was the first to notice her, he turned his head and glanced at Liu Qingxue, raised his eyebrows, and then turned his head again, with a smile on his expression.

"Twenty steps behind, enemy attack!" Feng Jianbei gently spit out a few words, and only Liu Binyuan, who was close to the left, could hear it.

Almost subconsciously, Liu Binyuan touched the chasing star on his back with one hand, and put the other hand on the quiver on the horse's back, and while quickly turning around, he bent his bow and shot out, but what he shot was just an ordinary feather arrow, not one of the seven arrows given to him with the chasing star.

His decisive and swift movements startled Liu Qingxue. Although she didn't know what was going on, when Feng Jianbei recognized her, she also recognized Feng Jianbei. She thought it was the idea of the strange-tempered old man, and she was interested in it.

With a "poof", the sword given by Chen Ye was unsheathed for the first time in Liu Qingxue's hand, and the sword body seemed to blend into the air filled with wind and snow, leaving only an afterimage in the air, directly cutting off the feather arrow.

The moment Liu Binyuan turned around, he saw clearly where the enemy attack came, but Liu Qingxue, who had no news for a year. He couldn't help but be very annoyed that he actually did it to his sister, and was about to abandon the bow and stage a reunion with his sister after a long absence, but he saw Liu Qingxue holding a sword, jumping up from the horse, and stabbing himself!

Liu Binyuan panicked for a while, and hurriedly wanted to retreat, but was lightly kicked by Feng Jianbei.

"Is that what I taught you?" Feng Jianbei scolded.

Liu Binyuan was helpless, so he had to draw the sword at his waist and meet it.

The sound of metal meeting sounded from the wind and snow, and the two hundred people who followed Liu Binyuan stood up in unison, thinking that it was the enemy, and quickly moved closer to Liu Binyuan. Feng Jianbei stepped forward at the right time to stop them, but Liu Binyuan and Liu Qingxue had already fought for several rounds before that.

Both of them made the wind and snow blow, light and agile, and the two swords met with only the crisp sound of "dingding". This was out of Liu Qingxue's expectations, in her impression, Liu Binyuan was very good at horseback archery, but in terms of swordsmanship, he couldn't even compare with ordinary disciples. She just wanted to scare him, but she didn't expect him to really be able to keep up with her own pace.

Liu Qingxue pulled out two sword flowers, forcing Liu Binyuan to retreat again and again, taking advantage of his panicked horizontal sword retreat, Liu Qingxue suddenly rushed forward, the tip of the sword stabbed out from a strange angle, and landed in the middle of Liu Binyuan's sword body, but Liu Binyuan was like being stabbed, his arm couldn't use his strength, and he could barely hold the sword.

He desperately grasped the hilt of the sword, his body fell backwards, but he took advantage of the momentum to swing the sword from the bottom to the top, and the "falling snow" in the wind and snow was smoothly unleashed. This move surprised Liu Qingxue, she turned the sword in her hand sideways, slashed along Liu Binyuan's sword body, and also suppressed his sword momentum. As soon as the swords of the two of them went up, it was difficult to advance for a while. Liu Qingxue took advantage of this gap and suddenly approached Liu Binyuan.

There was a "snap" sound, and Liu Qingxue's left hand slapped Liu Binyuan on the head. The two quickly separated, standing five or six apart. Xiao Ying'er laughed and clapped her hands again and again, as if she was laughing at Liu Binyuan.

"Hey, I haven't seen you for so long, and my sister doesn't want to see me at all?" Liu Binyuan scratched him helplessly, put the sword into the sheath, and then glared at Feng Jianbei angrily: "Master, did it on purpose! I pulled the bow with all my might, what should I do if I hurt my sister!"

"If she was hurt by you so easily, she shouldn't have given your dad such a headache. Feng Jianbei clasped his hands, hunting in the wind in plain clothes, and nodded slightly towards Liu Qingxue. Liu Binyuan pursed his lips unconvinced, but he still had a smile on his face.

Liu Qingxue bowed to Feng Jianbei, and then turned to Liu Binyuan, and said with a slight smile: "You kid is lucky, listening to what you said, it seems that he is already an apprentice of Feng Senior? ”

Liu Binyuan has never been praised by Liu Qingxue for anything since he was a child, he grinned, and couldn't help but feel a little proud.

Xiao Ying'er suddenly approached curiously, looked at Liu Qingxue, and asked with a smile, "Who is this sister?"

Liu Binyuan forgot that Xiao Ying'er was on the side for a while, and then reacted, looked at the playful look on Liu Qingxue's face, and said with a wry smile: "I mentioned it to you, my sister Liu Qingxue." ”

Then he turned to Liu Qingxue and introduced a little awkwardly: "This is Ying'er of the Chengji Palace." ”

Liu Qingxue was stunned, and then nodded slightly. Suddenly hearing Chengji Wangfu, she couldn't help but think of Xiao Qi, who still had no news. The joy of reunion was suddenly diluted a little.

"Hello sister!" Xiao Ying'er grinned, revealing her pointed little tiger teeth.

"Ying'er is good. Liu Qingxue smiled slightly, this little girl rolled her eyes casually, looking harmless to humans and animals, but she didn't look annoying.

Liu Qingxue knew what happened between the Liu family and the Chengji Mansion after she left, so she quickly thought of the relationship between Xiao Ying'er and Liu Binyuan.

"This kid has been willful and naughty since he was a child, and he has a lot of ghost ideas, but he has caused me a lot of trouble. In the future, he handed it over to Ying'er, but it was hard for Ying'er. Liu Qingxue actually looked solemn, as if she was entrusting something important.

"Hey, this ......" Liu Binyuan wanted to refute, but thinking about it, it seemed that Liu Qingxue was not wrong, so he spread his hands helplessly. But I saw Xiao Ying'er sticking out her tongue lightly, and grinned: "Hey, I thought my sister said me! My father and brother always talk about me like this." ”

Liu Qingxue thought that Xiao Ying'er was just saying kind words, but the next moment she stepped forward and grabbed Liu Qingxue's arm. Liu Qingxue was a little surprised, except for her mother, she had never had such an intimate behavior with anyone, let alone Xiao Ying'er, who had just met for the first time. She only felt that it seemed very inappropriate to avoid it, so she grabbed her arm, but she was not used to it, and her whole left arm was as stiff as a puppet.

"Are these people from the Liu family? Why don't you go into the city?" Liu Qingxue finally remembered to get down to business and didn't care about the pendant on her left arm.

"These people were borrowed by King Chengji, and they will go with us to the Northern Wasteland. ”

Liu Qingxue didn't seem to believe her ears: "Northern Wasteland?"

"It's a long story, but I don't think the Northern Rebellion has anything to do with the Northern Wasteland, so I'm going to see it myself. ”

"Take her?" Liu Qingxue frowned and pointed to Xiao Ying'er beside her.

Liu Binyuan smiled bitterly: "Uh, this, she sneaked out by herself, and I'm also helpless." ”

Liu Qingxue looked at the smug smile on Xiao Ying'er's face, and couldn't help but believe a little bit in what Xiao Ying'er said before.

"But when we got here, we were shut out, saying that the city of Beiwang was sealed off and no one was allowed to enter or leave. ”

"The Liu family can't do it either?"

"Here's the problem, I haven't been to Beiwangcheng, they don't know me, General Feng has also led troops in the north all the year round, and I haven't seen it since. And these two hundred people are not a weak force after all, and they dare not easily let them into the city, so they don't dare to open the city gate for a long time, saying that they want to go to their boss. ”

Liu Qingxue looked up at the city wall, and at this time, a tall figure probed from the city wall, and glanced down rather lazily.

"It's him, right?" Liu Qingxue said in a low voice.

The shouts of the soldiers on the city wall verified Liu Qingxue's conjecture: "This is General Wu of Beiwang City." If you want to enter the city, you need his permission. ”

Liu Bin was angry: "He hasn't seen me either, so wouldn't he just prevaricate as if he was unidentified?" Aren't you kidding me?"

The general's gaze surnamed Wu suddenly fell on Liu Qingxue, just in line with Liu Qingxue's gaze. He raised his eyelids, propped his elbows on the city wall, and said with interest: "Little girl, do you know the origin of your shuriken?"

The eyes of Liu Binyuan, Feng Jianbei and others all fell on Liu Qingxue, but Liu Qingxue was also at a loss. This sword has only been obtained from Chen Ye for half a day, could it be that this General Wu wants to ask Chen Ye?

But before Liu Qingxue could answer, General Wu casually pulled out a sword from the waist of the soldier beside him, suddenly jumped up, and fell towards Liu Qingxue with a swift attack!
