Three steps and a pavilion, five steps and a courtyard, carved railings and jade buildings, high or low towering in the palace wall, the guards stand on the ground of the hundred zhang floating clouds below the court, the flags inlaid with the word Xuanwu on both sides hunt in the wind, above, is a hundred steps through the cloud ladder, a majestic palace, high hanging [Shangqing Palace] The plaque, the pen walks the dragon and snake, the majestic atmosphere, Lan Xin and the bright night were detained in the palace of Ai Qingshi Road, not allowed to enter, the twelve with Qiu Lou under the traction of the eunuchs, came to the front of the floating clouds, the king of Rui sat on a horse all black, wearing light armor, majestic, the little girl was dressed in black, also sitting on the horse, the guards on both sides held high the sword, magnificent.

The sound of drums like thunder was deafening, and the twelve felt like the earth under their feet was also trembling with the sound of the drums!

She and Qiu Lou turned over on their horses left and right, and the four of them were isolated in the open space under the court, listening to the drums that made people's blood swell, and their hearts were full of pride!

Emperor Xuanwu was wearing a yellow nine-clawed dragon robe, and led a hundred officials from the court to the top of the cloud ladder, his left hand was raised, and the sound of drums stopped abruptly.

"A few days Er and the other four people fought on behalf of my Xuanwu, I took the dignity of the emperor, and asked the ancestors and the ancestors to bless the four of them, and return from victory!

The chief eunuch respectfully inserted the purple incense into the vessel, and Emperor Xuanwu waved his hand and said loudly: "Xuanwu will win!"

"Xuanwu will win—"

"Xuanwu will win—"

The guards on both sides shouted in unison, and the sound was deafening, soaring into the sky!

Twelve's heart trembled, his eyes swept away, and he saw that everyone was arrogant, and he unconsciously remembered his former self.

At that time, she stood out from the training camp, was brought into the national secret service force, became an agent, and solemnly swore in front of the five-star red flag: "I am twelve, I will be dedicated to the country, for the sharp blade of the motherland, overcome thorns and thorns, and never complain!"

The words are still in her ears, but what about Zuihou? She will be betrayed by her companions, and she will never be able to see the light of day, even if she completes more tasks?

The hand holding the reins of the horse was clenched gloomily, and Twelve looked at the young soldiers with cold eyes, a sarcastic smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he didn't know whether he was laughing at them or laughing at his former self.

Emperor Xuanwu walked down the stone steps at some point, his dragon robe was on the ground, he was wearing a crown on his head, and a beaded curtain on his forehead, which made him more and more majestic.

He came to the four, and the chief eunuch held a tray and brought wine.

"I'm here, waiting for the victory to come!" he said in a deep voice, raising his head and drinking all the liquor in the cup, King Rui holding the wine cup with a solemn face, "Yes! With that, the liquor was in her throat, and Twelve followed the others to raise their glasses, but she did not swear as solemnly as they did, and she never promised uncertainty, and the jade dew slipped into her throat, and as soon as it entered her stomach, she set off a burning sensation!

Wine!

The twelve eyes lit up, and the wine in the palace was really different from the one in the market.

"Ruyi, this time everything is up to you. Emperor Xuanwu specially walked in front of the twelve horses, and said in a deep voice on the horses.

A dignified king, but like her junior entrusted, I don't know where Emperor Xuanwu saw that she was the most important of the four, but in front of everyone, she naturally couldn't brush the emperor's face, and immediately arched her hand and said: "Ruyi takes the order." ”

"Okay!" Emperor Xuanwu roared, the sound of drums resounded in the sky again, twelve immediately pulled the reins of the horse, a group of guards in front of the road, she and other four people, rode out of the palace, outside the palace gate is a delicate carriage, the curtain flutters in the early morning breeze, Lan Xin and tomorrow night sit in the car, and King Rui's entourage, this time to Qinglong, a total of twenty guards, a carriage, a cart, the car is fast, everything is simple.

When the Twelve came to the city gate surrounded by the guards, the people on both sides held flower baskets in their hands, sprinkling pink flowers from the baskets, and sent them off one after another, and everyone had undisguised expectations on their faces, and they regarded the twelve or fourteen people as the warriors of Xuanwu! As the heroes of the whole country! The Xuanwu Kingdom has declined among the four countries, and has been suppressed by the other three countries for many years, if they can stand out in this four-country competition, they will definitely be able to deter the other three countries.

In my ears, the people kept shouting, and the voices were noisy, until the city gate was in the middle of the line, and the official road covered with yellow sand was the people, and those enthusiastic people were dispersed.

"It will take ten days to travel from here to Qinglong, and since this king is the prince, you should respect me, understand?" King Rui commanded, sitting on his horse and looking proud.

"Cut, why? I'm still the eldest lady of the Cang faction! Before the emperor set off, he didn't say who was the main one, so why should we listen to you?" Qiu Lou took the lead in making trouble and started a verbal battle with King Rui.

Twelve didn't care about the two people vying for the leading position, and sat firmly on the horse, looking at the scenery around him.

All the way winding yellow sand official road, planted on both sides of the row of green willows, yellow and green vertical and horizontal alternately, the majestic imperial city behind has become a small black shadow, looming, there is a breeze blowing in the ears, hit the face, you can also feel the sand grains in the wind, the official road except for their line, no one else, the head is cloudless, only a piece of sea blue, occasionally a group of birds fly by, in the sky to draw a line of exquisite traces.

"Mom, I'm hungry ......" The voice of the little milk bag suddenly appeared in his mind, and his eyes trembled, revealing a little stunned.

"How can you transmit the sound into the secret?" Could it be that the fire unicorn is about to wake up? Twelve don't know, after the contract with the demonic beast, the main beast can carry out soul transmission, although the little milk bag has not been opened, but some things have already been integrated into its bone and blood, no matter what, its original body is still a terrifying fire unicorn.

"Ruyi, tell me, shouldn't this person who leads the team be King Rui!" Qiu Lou and King Rui quarreled so much that no one would let anyone, Xuanwu Continent, although the royal family is noble, but the status of the major sects is not low, not to mention that Qiu Lou doesn't like King Rui in the first place, so naturally he wants to fight with him You lose and I win, she shouted a few times again and again, but Twelve didn't seem to hear it, and the whole person sat on the horse in a daze, not knowing where the fugue went.

Qiu Lou held his mouth, rode his horse to the left a little, almost on par with Twelve, and stabbed Twelve's waist with his arm, and Twelve's conditioned reflex almost waved at her with a palm, but fortunately he stopped at the juncture, but the majestic, full of murderous coercion still made Qiu Lou's heart flutter.

"Hey, Ruyi, did you just want to kill me?" she asked, holding the reins of the horse with one hand and pointing at Twelve's face with one hand.

"I'm sorry. Twelve times to her senses, pursed her lips and said, she has become accustomed to being on alert at any time, so that when she was distracted, although her brain did not respond in time, her body resisted the external danger for the first time, and almost injured Qiu Lou by mistake.

"Hmph, forget it this time," Qiu Lou saw that she didn't mean to, and immediately said, "Now, tell me, should he be the team leader?"

Twelve looked in the direction of her finger, and saw King Rui looking triumphant, and said, "You have a fight." ”

Both of them were stunned.

She said indifferently: "Whoever wins, who will lead the team." ”

This is the fairest and most fair suggestion, Qiu Lou applauded and said with a smile: "Okay, hey, do you dare?"

Where did King Rui allow her to be so agitated? Immediately reined in the horse, ready to compete with Qiu Lou, a little girl who didn't know the height of the sky, but was stopped by the little girl on the side, "We are fellow travelers now, and we must not have civil strife." ”

"Then what do you say you should do?" asked King Rui with the corners of his eyes raised.

"King Rui is the prince of the dynasty, so naturally you should be the leader. Xiaoya opened her mouth to reconsider, and then swept her eyes and fixed on Twelve: "I don't know what Miss Sima thinks?"

The white robe hunted in the wind, the twelve raised the corners of their mouths coldly, their eyes were sharp, and they were not friendly to the little girl: "You are free, I have no opinion." ”

"In that case, Miss Qiu, what else do you have to say?" King Rui became even more proud, he thought to himself, it seems that this Sima Ruyi is not indifferent to him, he said, how could the woman who used to stalk him ignore him in the blink of an eye? Sure enough, he was playing a trick to capture and indulge.

King Rui automatically interpreted Twelve's words as helping him, and his expression became more and more arrogant, if there was a pinch of hair on his buttocks, he was afraid that he would have gone to the sky by now.

Qiu Lou glared at Twelve, and could only accept the fact that the team was led by King Rui, along the way, the sun was hanging high, and everyone was walking on the official road, about two hours, the blazing sun made many guards sweat profusely, and Twelve was moving forward, while not forgetting to cultivate, the little milk bag kept roaring in her mind.

At noon, there was finally a trace of the tea shop next to the official road, in the barren sky, the tea shop looked very abrupt, there were six or seven people sitting inside, all of them were dressed in military uniforms, and there were cold weapons on the table, all of them were strong and strong, murderous, the little second brother of the tea shop saw everyone, and hurriedly stepped forward to greet: "Guest officers, rest your feet." ”

He shook the rag on his shoulder, smiled very attentively, Rui Wang waved his hand, signaled the team to rest for a while, Twelve squinted his eyes slightly, his eyes hurriedly swept over the people in the tea shop, the corners of his mouth slightly raised a strange smile, turned over and dismounted.

Lan Xin got out of the carriage with the little milk bag in his arms, there were only five clean tables in the tea shop, Qiu Lou disdained to share the table with King Rui, and pulled Twelve to sit with Lan Xin and Ming Ye.

Xiao Er quickly served a pot of herbal tea, and served a few side dishes and steamed buns.

King Rui couldn't wait to drink up the tea, this way, he was tired, he grew up in the palace since he was a child, delicate and expensive, two hours of hurrying, the sun was big, he was so tired that he didn't want to move, and Xiaoya, but only held the teacup, the afterglow swept on the back of Twelve, and a gloomy light flashed in his eyes very quickly.

"Ruyi, why don't you drink, aren't you thirsty?" Qiu Lou asked strangely at Twelve who didn't drink tea or eat after taking a seat, but as soon as the words came out, her vision became dizzy, misty, and she couldn't see anything clearly, and Zuihou fell headlong on the wooden table.

A group of more than 20 people, except for twelve, collapsed on the wooden table one after another and fell into a coma.

Twelve didn't seem to see it, still sitting upright on the wooden bench, as steady as Mount Tai, not moving, and the seven or eight strange men looked at each other one after another, how could this woman not faint?

Xiao Er hurriedly ran to Twelve's side, covered his mouth and exclaimed, "Ouch, aren't these guest officers suffering from heat stroke?"
