004 Assassinated in the middle of the night
Tao Wanyan stood on the deck, under the inky starry sky, the summer breeze swept the breath of the river from behind her, raising her purple veil. The long jet-black hair also fluttered and messed around his ears.
Although there are many ships accumulating around, Ewha House is at the rear. So in comparison, they seem much quieter and more relaxed here.
Tao Wanyan stood at the bow of the boat dressed in purple, but she didn't know how to describe her mood.
Dead or not, it didn't seem to make a difference to her. She will come to this country, into the body of this woman who doesn't even know what she looks like. Is this also a kind of fate?
Tao Wanyan looked at the calm lake, lowered her head and sighed deeply. Before he had time to sigh, the river around the hull suddenly splashed up, raising a water injection several feet high.
Tao Wanyan was startled and raised her head suddenly, but her vision was blocked by the oncoming mist. She took two sharp steps back. Several masked black-clothed assassins suddenly emerged from the water, holding long swords in their hands, and the sword light rushed straight towards Tao Wanyan.
Tao Wanyan looked at the long sword coming at her in a panic, and when she saw that the tip of the sword was only two fingers away from her heart, another sword suddenly leaped from behind her, blocking the long sword.
Tao Wanyan didn't have time to see what was happening, her body was suddenly grabbed and she jumped back a few steps, and the purple dress swayed in the wind, blocking Tao Wanyan's vision again.
As soon as she landed and stood firm, before she could see who had saved her, a black shadow had already passed by her, returning to the bow of the ship like a light bolt, grasping the sword, the cold sword light shook Tao Wanyan's eyes.
In this fight, the woman in black was clearly moving faster than the assassins. After a burst of sword light, the woman's sword was back in her scabbard. The woman in black turned sideways to the bow of the ship, looking coldly at the already stiff assassins.
Crash! Crash! Crash!
The sound of falling water sounded one after another. Tao Wanyan covered her mouth with an exclamation, her eyes glared at the woman in black, and then looked at the corpse floating on the river, as if she could see the red blood spreading out on the river.
Like the smoke that spreads out when a fire engulfs a house, it mocks those who are indifferent and merciless.
Perhaps awakened by the sound of fighting, everyone ran to the deck. They all looked at the assassin who was gradually sinking to the bottom of the lake in surprise, only Yuan Xia was the calmest, and stepped forward to support Tao Wanyan in a few steps.
"Landlord, are you alright?"
"I ......" Tao Wanyan suddenly came back to her senses at the moment when Yuan Xia held her, looked at the woman in black who was still unchanged, opened her mouth, and still didn't say anything.
She should be Shen Xia.
Tao Wanyan secretly paid. Because the sword in her hand is the same as the sword in Zui Xia's hand. And in the same way, May Xia and Mu Xia also have a handful in their hands. So with this, Tao Wanyan can already be sure who the woman in black who saved her is.
"Shen Xia, have you done what I asked you to do?" Tao Wanyan thought about it and spoke. Die and die. She can't keep talking, right?
Tao Wanyan lowered her voice, at least she didn't know what kind of person the owner of this body was. Therefore, every word she says must be carefully considered, and she does not dare to relax for half a minute.
"Go back to the landlord," Shen Xia knelt down on one leg and clasped his hands into fists, "Miss Lin hopes that the landlord will gather in the remnant fragrance building tonight." ”
Remnant fragrance building?!
"Okay, Shen Xia, you go to the Remnant Fragrance Building first and wait for me. Drunken Xia went with me, and the affairs on the ship were temporarily in charge of Yuan Xia. Everyone else should step aside. ”
Tao Wanyan is indeed smart. I hope that Xia and Mu Xia still have to be calm after all, if they are allowed to go with her, then they will not be able to say anything. Drunken Xia is different, Drunken Xia's thoughts are simple and uncomplicated, Tao Wanyan only needs to ask casually later, and she can get all the answers she wants to know.
Tao Wanyan stood at one end of the bamboo raft, and Zui Xia followed closely. The boat family is an old man who is over half a hundred years old, and when he heard that he was going to the remnant fragrance building, he was unwilling to live or die. In the end, it was still drunk Xia who was smart and promised to give double the price before he was willing to go.
Tao Wanyan used to live in a city surrounded by mountains, but she didn't have the opportunity to enjoy this beautiful scenery. Although it is night, the bright moon hanging high in the sky also adds a lot of light, and the appearance of lights on both sides of the river also illuminates the scenery on both sides.
"Drunk summer, this lovesickness festival can be regarded as lively. Do you know the origin of the Acacia Festival? Tao Wanyan spoke casually, but took the lead to the topic. There was a slight rhetorical question in his tone.
In Tao Wanyan's opinion, if she asks such a question, Zui Xia will definitely open her mouth immediately like a child to prove her ability.
"Of course I do." Sure enough, Zui Xia immediately crossed his hands on his hips like a child, and said proudly, "According to legend, thousands of years ago, the White Tiger God fell in love with Ling Mushui, the eldest daughter of the Spirit Clan, but in order to ally with the Spirit Clan, Ling Mushui wanted Ling Mushui to marry the God Clan. After the White Tiger God learned about it, he took Ling Mushui to escape from marriage, but was informed by the Emperor of the Protoss. was executed, Lingmu Shui became lovesick, and finally was devoured by his own backlash and became an existence outside the Six Realms. And the only thing she does every day is to find the remnant soul of the White Tiger God, and want to save the White Tiger God. ”
"What does this have to do with the Acacia Festival?"
"Absolutely. The Acacia Festival is the day when Lingmu water is reversed. According to legend, on this day, Lingmushui will return to the world. On this day, all those who love each other are not allowed to meet. Otherwise, the two will be separated. Because Lingmu water will not let others use the happiness that she can't get. ”
Well, this rumor is also credible? What about the old husbands and wives who have to see each other every day? Tao Wanyan looked at a certain woman who was indulged in legends and couldn't extricate herself, raised her eyebrows, and pretended to be displeased, "I said drunk Xia, do you still know what the purpose of our coming here is?" ”
"I know, find the best luthier, that is, Lin Lengyue, the owner of Leng Yue Pavilion. And then get Acacia ...... Hmm......" Drunken Xia said halfway, suddenly covered his mouth and looked at Tao Wanyan in panic and fear, his voice flowed from his fingers, and his tone changed completely, "I was wrong." I won't say it again next time. ”
Tao Wanyan looked at Zui Xia's reaction, lowered her head and thought about it. Most of them understand why. After all, Lihualou is also a Jianghu organization, probably because of discipline problems, so Zui Xia is so panicked.
And what she didn't finish talking about should be lovesickness. It seems that it is really important to get the legendary elixir that can bring the dead back to life.
Tao Wanyan chuckled, and there was more relaxation in her voice, "Drunken Xia, am I so terrible?" ”
"No, no, no." Zui Xia stretched out his hand and shook it vigorously, "Miss, don't embarrass me." I hope Sister Xia will scold me if she knows. ”
Miss?
Zui Xia suddenly changed her title, which made Tao Wanyan raise her eyebrows unconsciously. But she didn't ask too much. After all, if you continue to ask like this, Zui Xia will be suspicious.
"Okay," Tao Wanyan smiled lightly, "Let's go to the Residual Fragrance Building first." ”
"But Miss, how can you be sure that Lin Lengyue will definitely sell Leng Yue Pavilion to us?" Although Zui Xia just said that he didn't ask, he was now looking at Tao Wanyan so curiously. Those two pairs of eyes that seemed to be revealing light had already told her everything.
Tao Wanyan smiled, bent her fingers and knocked on the door of Zui Xia's head, and said softly, "This is a secret, I won't tell you." ”
You want to buy Cold Moon Pavilion, right? Isn't that easy?
