The first spring rain of the year enveloped the entire Xiheyuan, and as far as the eye could see, the sky and the earth were everywhere white.

An old man in black brocade kept jumping and running under the rain curtain.

"Why did the old gentleman leave in such a panic?"

At this time, a soft voice with a faint Jiangdu accent sounded under the rain curtain.

"Who?" the old man clutched his chest and stopped, his eyelids jumping slightly.

A woman in a pale yellow dress walked slowly from the rain with a delicate oil-paper umbrella.

"The old gentleman is not on the side of An Guogong in the Eastern Capital, why did he run to this desolate Xihe alone?"

When she was still about seven or eight feet away from the old man, the woman stopped and asked with a chuckle.

"Little girl, don't bother to make these nonsense things. ”

The old man smiled faintly and said: "Since it is a ghostly ghost, don't wear a human skin and pretend to be a painted skin, the old man has lived in the secret guard for more than 60 years, and he is not even a little girl with a peony." ”

"That's a little girl, Meng Lang. ”

The woman smiled lightly and said nonchalantly.

The old man's face was light, he had seen too many things in his life, and he had just walked between life and death, to put it mildly, he was already a half-buried person in the loess, what else was there to make a fuss about?

The woman tilted her head slightly, looking at the blush on the old man's chest. His eyes flickered slightly.

Weng's thud broke through the air.

Under the cover of the rain curtain, a black rain of arrows fell from the sky, crossed a perfect parabola, and shot at the old man.

The old man frowned, there were at least more than fifty crossbow arrows in this wave of arrow rain, and they were also the strongest crossbows in the army. He stretched out his right hand, stretched out his five fingers, and five invisible sword qi shot out, and then with a flick of his wrist, the five sword qi crisscrossed and crisscrossed, interweaving a scene of sword nets in mid-air, which actually blocked all this wave of crossbow arrows.

Nearly 50 armor soldiers lined up in a phalanx, armed with heavy crossbows, striding from the rain curtain, they were still more than ten zhang away from the old man, from projectile to flat shooting, bypassing the woman in yellow. Fired at the old man again.

The old man came out with both hands, and two invisible qi swords swung them, scattering the rain of arrows in the sky.

The old man stayed behind the woman in yellow, a leading armorer, although covered with iron armor, he still recognized it as a woman at a glance.

It's a peony, no doubt.

The nearly 100-year feud between the dark guard and the peony, in a sense, the dark guard and the peony are actually a family, but this family is really more ruthless and fatal than doing it with outsiders.

If the old man was in his heyday, not to mention the fifty armor soldiers and two peony women, the number of people who came would be doubled, and he would not be afraid at all. It's just that now he was stabbed by Xiao Yu, and his strength dropped greatly, and the other party came prepared, this time it was a little dangerous.

The old man looked at the haze above his head, the spring rain was all over the sky, and muttered to himself: "The old man has finally survived the winter, is he going to die in the spring?"

The woman in yellow with a Jiangdu accent smiled and said: "I heard that the eldest prince Xiao will return to the eastern capital, the flower owner is overjoyed, and the special maid came to greet the eldest prince Xiao, and wants to have a long talk with the eldest prince all night." But I didn't expect to meet the old gentleman halfway, but the sword in the old gentleman's chest was stabbed by Xiao Dagongzi?"

Because the secret guard is divided into two parts, one is the secret guard under the command of Xiao Lie, who investigates the world, and the tentacles are all over every corner under Da Zheng's rule, and even there are secret guards in grasslands and other places. The second is peony, mostly women, although there is a big gap between the power and the secret guard, but it is more secretive, I can't say which court member Xinna's concubine, a certain Oiran is the peony person.

The dark guard wants to take back the peony, but of course the peony doesn't want to have more control over himself,-for-tat, and the two are naturally doing everything. Originally, Xiao Yu and Peony had a relationship that could not be fought by eight poles, but Xiao Yu and Xiao Lie did not agree, and now Xiao Yu had his back to the Taoist tree and immediately became the princess's concubine, and for a while, Xiao Lie was also helpless against Xiao Yu. It is rumored that several peony flower owners are full of praise for this Xiao Gongzi.

An undercurrent is surging.

And this undercurrent became more turbulent with Xiao Yu's return to the Eastern Capital.

......

Xiao Yu sat in the carriage with his eyes closed, recuperating from his injuries.

In a battle with the old butler, although he seriously injured the old butler with a sword, he was not comfortable, the heavenly demon was broken, and the sea of knowledge was greatly shaken, although he was forcibly suppressed by the fragments of consciousness he absorbed at that time, but after all, he suffered some injuries.

And in the last sword confrontation, he used the thief to resist a wave of sword qi from the old butler, with internal injuries and external injuries. I have to say that although the old housekeeper underestimated him this time, he himself was not too big.

Qiu Yue sat aside and shook her head and sighed: "Miss Qin has a sentence that is not wrong, Xiao Yu, you go back to the Eastern Capital this time, with your current identity, you are really a naughty boy holding gold through the city, attracting others to kill you." ”

Xiao Yu opened his eyes and said helplessly: "Who wasn't forced out?" Fortunately, I stepped into the frost realm before this, if it is still the empty realm, I am afraid that I will already be buried in the capital." ”

Murong said: "Da Zheng is the head of all the countries in the world, and the eastern capital is the center of Da Zheng, it is not an exaggeration to say that the eastern capital is the most prosperous place in the world. ”

"Worldly pinnacle master?" Xiao Yu asked.

Murong explained: "There is an unwritten rule in the cultivation world, cultivators in the Freedom Realm cannot make a move on worldly people, so the peak master of the worldly world is the peak of frost. And it is precisely for this reason that Akiba, the peak of frost-crawling, can represent the Taoist sect to walk in the world, and several major governors in the eastern capital city are also cultivators of the peak of frost-crawling. ”

Xiao Yu became interested and continued to ask, "What is the difference between the Frost Primal Realm and the Frost Peak?"

Murong glanced at him and said: "Qin Mumian, who is dressed in purple soul clothes, is the peak of frost, Xu Lin, the governor of the central capital, and Qiuyue, Mo Feng, these people are in the middle realm of frost, Gongsun Zhongmou and I are in the frost upper realm, as for the autumn leaves...... He should have almost reached the realm of half-step leisure, but he forcibly suppressed his realm at the peak of frost on weekdays. ”

Xiao Yu was slightly moved, remembering the tragic situation when he and Qiu Yue joined forces to fight against Qin Mumian, who was wearing a purple soul robe, and immediately understood the gap.

Qiuyue said with feeling: "The poor monk first entered the Eastern Capital, and joined forces with Miss Qin to fight against Brother Qiuye Dao, at that time, just mentioning Brother Qiuye Dao, he had already noticed it, and sent a hall full of fallen leaves to give to the poor monk. ”

Murong suddenly said: "A thousand years ago, when the Sword Sect Patriarch left the Dao Sect, there was a saying that the Dao Sect should be prosperous, and after a thousand years. ”

Xiao Yu was silent for a moment and then sneered: "It seems that although this Sword Sect Ancestor is no longer a Taoist, he is still full of Divine Stick Taoist style." ”
