Zhu Qiuyi's move was extremely fast.

The man and the halberd became one, turning into a vague afterimage.

Seeing the flickering lightning at the tip of the halberd, Gu Xu felt that his "stand-in bracelet", and even his life, were very likely to be confessed here today.

Incapacitated, he couldn't think of anything that could help him dodge or stop the fatal blow.

"Perhaps, the revenge that the 'Ziwei Emperor' has been planning for many years will come to an end today." Gu Xu laughed at himself and thought to himself silently.

However, at the moment when the halberd was about to hit Gu Xu, a clear phoenix chirp came from not far away.

Immediately after, a golden phoenix spread its wings and appeared in front of Gu Xu out of thin air, colliding with Zhu Qiuyi's halberd.

Suddenly, the halberd's electric light dissipated, and it stopped in place, unable to move forward.

The bright fire on the phoenix's wings also faded a little.

Gu Xu stared at the familiar golden phoenix with a complicated expression.

He recognized at a glance that this phoenix with wings flowing fire was Zhao Yan's out-of-body soul.

Only a disembodied thing like a divine soul could appear in front of him in an instant at this critical juncture and block Zhu Qiuyi's thunderous attack for him.

It's just that Gu Xu was a little confused-

Shouldn't Zhao Yan have returned to Youzhou a long time ago?

Why is she still in the territory of the Great Qi Dynasty? And at the risk of revealing your identity, to the rescue of yourself?

However, before he could think through these questions, he felt like he was being picked up by an arm, like a pet cat being picked up by his owner.

Then the man caught him in the crook of his arm and carried him into the sky.

"Wait, I'...... My mask ......," he stumbled.

He was not lightly wounded, and he could clearly taste the smell of blood in his mouth when he spoke.

The man chuckled, waved his sleeves, and the mask flew up from the ground, and then landed steadily on Gu Xu's face.

"Sure enough, it's Zhao Yan."

Hearing the arrogant laughter mixed with a bit of ridicule, and seeing the bright red robe, Gu Xu once again confirmed the identity of the savior.

The heir of the Great Yan Kingdom is still the same as when he first met, with a cold temperament and a compelling color.

She held Gu Xu in one hand and a spear in the other, spread her wings behind her back, and in the face of many Great Qi officials, she still showed an indifferent and comfortable appearance.

The officials of Daqi obviously did not expect that the "anti-thief" thing would appear in pairs - seeing that one was about to be caught, the other would also appear.

"If you capture both of them, it will be a great credit." They thought to themselves.

But making meritorious service is not an easy task.

Dealing with Gu Xu just now made them feel quite a headache.

Now there is another Zhao Yan who has cultivated to a higher level.

After activating the bloodline, Zhao Yan had the combat power to compete with the Sixth Realm cultivators—the terrifying coercion emanating from her Fire Phoenix wings made the Great Qi officials feel palpitations.

In addition, Zhu Qiuyi's "chasing the wind" magic power may be very threatening to a "crispy mage" like Gu Xu.

But for Zhao Yan, it is not painful.

No matter how many times Zhu Qiuyi sneaked up on her, she could use the strong defensive power brought by the bloodline and the "Holy Fire Totem" to carry it directly.

It's just that in this situation where the enemy is outnumbered, Zhao Yan is unwilling to fight.

She manipulated the Divine Soul Phoenix, repelled Zhu Qiuyi's halberd, burned Que Juchang's dark arrow, and shook Pu Shilong's meteor hammer away.

Then she took Gu Xu and flew into the distance like an arrow from a string.

"Chase!" Zhu Qiuyi ordered loudly, "Don't let them escape!" ”

At the same time as giving the order, she also urged the "Chasing the Wind" supernatural power, turned into a flash of light, and came to Zhao Yan's side in an instant.

In addition to "chasing the wind", she quickly recited a spell silently, using a secret method called "Fury".

"Rage" is also a spell that Zhu Qiuyi exchanged from the Exorcism Division Yamen by virtue of his merits, and its effect is to greatly improve the monk's combat effectiveness in a short period of time, and even have a chance to defeat enemies with higher realms.

But when casting the spell, it will also quickly overdraw the monk's true element; After the effects are over, the monk will become very weak, incapacitated, and may even be left behind.

Luo Chuan, the head of the Exorcism Division, once gave this spell to Chu Fengge as a reward, because Chu Fengge's "weed" magic power can greatly reduce the negative impact caused by "rage".

And the reason why Zhu Qiuyi chose to practice "Rage" was because she wanted to increase the upper limit of her combat power.

She had cultivated the ready-made high-grade exercise "Wind and Thunder Introduction", which meant that she would stop at the sixth realm in this life and would not be able to go further.

In the past, she had considered whether to cut the realm by herself and change the exercises in order to impact the realm of saints.

But she never dared to try.

On the one hand, she didn't have enough confidence in her comprehension, and she was worried that after re-cultivating, she wouldn't even be able to reach her current height.

On the other hand, as the chief soldier of a province, she has a heavy responsibility on her shoulders, and she is not allowed to easily kill herself.

Therefore, she could only continue to do tasks, exchanging the merits she earned for various secret methods, magic weapons, elixirs, etc., so that her combat power was constantly approaching the limit that the Sixth Realm cultivators could reach.

Zhu Qiuyi could feel that Zhao Yan's true strength was far beyond her cultivation realm on the surface.

In the face of such an enemy, Zhu Qiuyi must go all out and dare not have the slightest reservation.

I saw that the sharp halberd was once again wrapped in overwhelming momentum, and slashed towards Zhao Yan.

Wherever the halberd passed, there was the sound of wind and thunder, and the sky was dark, as if a rainstorm was coming.

Zhao Yan's eyes were slightly cold, and he put the spear horizontally in front of him.

The tip of the spear was surrounded by golden-red flames, adding a bit of vivid color to the cool electric light.

It is conceivable that when the spear and the halberd collide, it will burst out with a terrifying power like an inverted gorge.

However, before the blades could be contacted, Zhao Yan suddenly withdrew the spear.

She pulled a bell out of her sleeve and shook it gently.

This crisp ringtone seemed to have a magical power, which made the thoughts of the officials present unconsciously trance.

As if they had forgotten what they were doing for a moment, their consciousness drifted away from the nine heavens, leaving their empty bodies and standing in place.

Zhao Yan took the opportunity to hold Gu Xu around her waist, and then turned into a fire meteor and flew to the distant sky.

By the time everyone came to their senses, they had completely disappeared from their sight.

"This is over," the officials thought to themselves with panic, "and let the fugitive slip away again." ”

Zhu Qiuyi frowned slightly, and once again took out a small white porcelain bottle to "reminisce", trying to trace the escape path of the two thieves.

Only this time, after the colored smoke came out of the mouth of the bottle, it did not directly outline the scene just now, but like a headless fly, it wandered around aimlessly and got into the bottle again.

Apparently, the two men had some sort of anti-tracking means at their disposal.

Zhu Qiuyi sighed lightly, took out the communication jade talisman, and reported the situation to Princess Zhaoning.

"Her Royal Highness will be disappointed in us." She thought silently.

…………

"Thank you Miss Zhao for saving your life," a quarter of an hour later, Gu Xu leaned against a huge rock, tilted his head slightly, and said weakly to Zhao Yan beside him, "If Miss Zhao hadn't arrived in time today, I'm afraid I would have died in the hands of that group of Great Qi officials." ”

He used the improved "Purification Spell" to remove the negative effects of the poison on the Dark Arrow and restore his mobility.

"Don't thank me," Zhao Yan replied in a flat tone, "We're just helping each other and reciprocating courtesies." ”

At this moment, Zhao Yan had already changed out of the tattered long skirt and put on a red men's robe.

The style of this robe is very loose, which hides the curves of her figure, but the chest position is inevitably held high, and the fabric at the waist and abdomen is empty and fluffy.

At the collar of the wide robe, you can clearly see the white jade skin on her neck, and you can also glimpse the beautiful collarbone that looms in the shadows.

"I thought you had already left the Great Qi Kingdom and returned to Youzhou," after a moment of silence, Gu Xu raised his own question, "I didn't expect you to stay here." ”

Zhao Yan found a protruding tree root beside him, sat on it with his knees crossed, lowered his head and said, "I won't tell you, Gu Daoyou, I don't really want to go back to Youzhou...... At least don't want to go back now. ”

"Why?" Gu Xu was a little puzzled, "The names of both of us are now on the imperial court wanted notice. The longer you stay in Daqi, the more dangerous it becomes. ”

"Maybe it's because I'm a little hypocritical," Zhao Yan sighed softly, "That day, I walked out of Luojing City along the street and saw corpses all over the field, a mess. Thinking that my father had colluded with the Ghost King of Bishan, I felt that I had a heavy sin on my body, and I didn't know how to face him after returning to Youzhou.

"Perhaps, when I get rid of some ghosts for the people here and atone for some of my father's crimes, my heart will feel better."

Gu Xu looked at her quietly.

Zhao Yan has a pair of charming fox eyes. Her eyelids are curvacated, the tails of her eyes are slightly upturned, and her eyelashes are dark and thick. Even if she has always been arrogant and indifferent, Gu Pan is also very moving.

And at this moment, her eyes are lowered, and her eyelashes block the pupils, adding a bit of hazy beauty.

Gu Xu couldn't help but sigh silently: It seems that a heroic character who will do whatever it takes to achieve his goals will also give birth to a daughter with a bit of conscience.

"Aren't you afraid of being caught by the Great Qi Mansion?" Gu Xu frowned slightly and said, "You have been exposed to them today, presumably they will definitely send more powerful monks to deal with us next time." ”

"Don't think that you are the only one who has the means to hide your whereabouts," Zhao Yan said as she spread out her palm and showed the bell in her palm in front of Gu Xu, "This is the baby that my mother left me, named 'Dream Bell', and the fact that we were able to get rid of those officials just now is largely due to it." With it, most of the tracking spells of the Great Qi Mansion, including Zhu Qiuyi's 'Remembrance', could not work. ”

Speaking of this, Zhao Yan paused for two seconds, then looked at Gu Xu: "Why did you suddenly become a traitor?" I thought that as the leader of the 'Luoshui Conference', you would rise to the top in the Great Qi Dynasty and enjoy the glory and wealth. Unexpectedly, as soon as we parted, I saw your wanted notices posted everywhere in the streets and alleys. ”

Gu Xu sighed.

Regarding the matter of "Emperor Ziwei" and "Taishang Haotian", it is inconvenient to tell her directly for the time being.

So he said helplessly: "I don't know why." After I was separated from you that day, Wang Guanyu, the commander of the Praetorian Guard, suddenly and inexplicably led a group of men down to arrest me, saying that I had colluded with ghosts and intended to rebel, and wanted to escort me to the imperial city.

"If I hadn't mastered a little space spell and escaped from the 'Liuhe Sealing Immortal Array' in time, I'm afraid I would have been on the gallows by now."

Zhao Yan did not respond immediately.

She sat down a little closer to him, leaning over to look at the wounds on his face and shoulder, her long black hair falling like a waterfall. The loose robe suddenly fitted to the body, outlining the elegant arc of her back.

From this angle, Gu Xu could clearly see the look of apology on her face.

"I'm sorry," she whispered, "I'm the one who bothered you. ”

Zhao Yan didn't know the secret of Emperor Tianxing, nor did she know the relationship between Gu Xu and the "Emperor Ziwei".

She believes that it must be on the day of the "Luoshui Conference" that Gu Xu has been staying with her, and has also helped her, the "daughter of the anti-thief", awaken the power of the bloodline, so that she is regarded as a member of the "rebels" by the Great Qi court.

"Don't think too much, Miss Zhao, it's none of your business."

"Do you think I'm a fool?" Zhao Yan narrowed her eyes, "If it weren't for me, how could the Great Qi Imperial Court write an outstanding genius monk on a wanted notice for no reason and post it everywhere?" It can't be because they're taking the wrong medicine. ”

The more Zhao Yan thought about it, the more irritable she became.

My father's original intention of revenge was certainly correct.

It's just that in Zhao Yan's concept, she feels that if she wants revenge, she should target the enemy of Emperor Tianxing, instead of implicating innocent people, let alone involving Gu Xu, a person who is kind to her, and ruin his future.

She was silent for a few moments, then said in a non-wavering voice, "Take your clothes off." ”

Gu Xu was shocked: "What are you going to do?" ”

He nearly sat up from the boulder. However, his injuries were so severe that if he moved a little, the wound would be painful, and he had to lie down honestly.

Zhao Yan glanced at him, took out a medicine bottle from the storage magic weapon, and said lightly: "Heal your injuries." ”

As she spoke, she dipped her fingers in some medicine and wiped away the conspicuous blood marks on Gu Xu's face.

Gu Xu suddenly felt a cool, crispy touch on his face—I don't know if it was from the healing potion or from her jade fingertips.

In a matter of seconds, the scar on his face healed as if it had never existed.

Zhao Yan looked at his handsome and flawless face again, and nodded with satisfaction.

She has always had an instinctive aversion to limbs of the opposite sex.

The only exception was when he was in the royal family on the day of the "Luoshui Conference", with the help of Gu Xu, to activate the bloodline.

At that time, she thought that she had neglected her physiological aversion because she was focused on the operation of the exercises and the changes in the power of her bloodline.

But now she found that what was special didn't seem to be "that time", but "this person" in front of her.

When she was healing Gu Xu's injuries, she could feel the true yuan in her body surging faster and becoming hot, and she could also feel a kind of intimacy and familiarity from her soul.

It's inexplicable.

It's like the inexplicable feeling of déjà vu when she first met him.

"Could it be because we are cultivating the same source of exercises?" Zhao Yan was puzzled.

However, despite the myriad thoughts in her heart, the expression on her face remained unchanged, and she said lightly to Gu Xu again: "Take off your robe." ”

Gu Xu looked at Zhao Yan's expression, and then glanced at the boulder he was leaning on, and suddenly felt that it was uneven and quite awkward.

"Or ...... Shall we change places? He proposed.

At the same time, his mind moved, and a small building with flying eaves and corners, carved beams and paintings, and antique colors appeared in front of the two of them out of thin air.

There is a couplet on the doorpost of the small building -

Shanglian: The body is more than the idle clouds, and the moon shadow stream is provable;

Downlink: The heart is flowing with the water, and the sound of pine and bamboo is forgotten.

The "Idle Cloud Residence" left by the Kongxuansan people was finally able to restore its original appearance after silently making a storage magic weapon in Gu Xu's pocket for several months.
