Almost everyone could not have imagined that Chen Qiaochu spent a huge amount of money to do such a huge and complex project as "grafting", and the only purpose of the project was to escape.

"Transferring Flowers and Grafts" is like a huge spider web, with four floors up and down, covering the entire underground of Yueyang City, there are eleven entrances alone, which are strictly guarded by special personnel, even if you sneak past the guards, countless complicated dead ends and various mechanisms can kill all intruders here.

Now, Chen Qiaochu has come to the bottom of the "grafting flowers", in front of him is a deep pool, and the rumbling sound of water comes from the soles of his feet, as if it will never stop.

After jumping into this deep pool, diving straight to the bottom, holding your breath for dozens of breaths, you will be carried into the Yangtze River by the torrent, and you will escape.

It is not uncommon for water bandits to be proficient in water.

Chen Qiaochu used to be a water bandit, and he should have chosen the waterway when he retreated, which was not a secret at first, but it was gradually forgotten.

The Jiangyue Gang has grown to this day, covering the sky with one hand in Xiangzhou, and its owner, Chen Qiaochu, has also become a symbol of power and violence, and people are more willing to believe that she is a demon lord who fell from the sky, as if she has been killing and dying since the day she was born, and will never associate her with the water bandits who are crawling at the bottom.

No one cares how much you have experienced unbearable and struggled, and the countless corpses and blood in the process will eventually become a cold number to prove your worldly achievements.

Chen Qiaochu stared at the deep pool, and his tone was cold:

"I'll take care of your family."

Breaking through from Yueyang Tower before, Chen Qiaochu's purple and black belt masters and bats were almost lost, and only a few people were left to escort her into the "Flower Transfer", and in the process of advancing, several more people died due to the mechanism, and when they arrived here, there were only two bats left around Chen Qiaochu, and they were both scarred and exhausted.

When the two bats heard Chen Qiaochu's words, their faces remained unchanged, and after glancing at each other, they suddenly took out a dagger from their waists and stabbed each other's hearts, and the two of them were killed instantly.

Chen Qiaochu cut off their heads, and then nodded reassuringly - from now on, no one in this world knows my whereabouts.

She took the knife in her mouth, took a deep breath, and plunged into the pool.

Mourn the moments of my life, and envy the infinity of the Yangtze River. Quickly shuttling underground along the river, Chen Qiaochu suddenly had this sentence in her heart, and she secretly shook her head in her heart, not understanding why she suddenly had such leisure and elegance.

After holding her breath for more than 30 breaths, Chen Qiaochu felt that her eyes lit up, and she had come out of the underground undercurrent and joined the main stream of the Yangtze River.

The breath in his chest was exhausted, and with a bang, Chen Qiaochu got out of the water and took a deep breath.

Then she saw a sword light falling from the sky.

It turns out that there are still people in this world who know her location, and in a moment, she can be buried in the infinite Yangtze River.

Chen Qiaochu had fear in her heart, this fear she had felt not long ago, in front of Yueyang Tower, that sword was blocked by Brother Dulong's life, and now, she can only face this sword, there is no longer a barrier between heaven and earth.

Chen Qiaochu felt that his heart contracted violently, as if he was being clenched violently by a big hand, blood flowed out of the seven orifices again, and layers of fear rose in his heart, and his whole body stiffened like a piece of wood.

The infusion of monstrous murderous aura not only increased the sharpness of this sword, but also shattered the courage of the enemy.

The only thing Chen Qiaochu could do was to reluctantly take off the single knife in his mouth and face it in vain.

Bite. The sound of iron and gold intersecting.

Syllable. The sound of a sword breaking.

Burst. The sound of a blade entering the body.

Poof. The sound of a body falling into the water.

The interval between the four voices was unusually short, as if they were happening at the same time, and the figures of the two of them instantly submerged into the river, and they did not float for a long time.

A thunderous sword cut off Chen Qiaochu's weapon and palm, and left an almost penetrating wound on Chen Qiaochu's chest, piercing the lobes of the lungs.

Jiang laughed

Shu secretly said a pity in his heart, and then he floated upward, vowing to kill Chen Qiaochu completely.

But out of the river, Jiang Xiaoshu was shocked - the turbid river in front of him was surging, and his side was full of blood, which was exactly what Chen Qiaochu was flowing, but Chen Qiaochu himself was missing.

Where did she flee to? Jiang Xiaoshu was surprised in his heart, and then he felt that his heart was hot, as if the river water had suddenly become hot

Before he could turn his head, a figure had already come up from behind, his right hand wrapped around Jiang Xiaoshu's neck, and his left hand was locked, and Jiang Xiaoshu's neck was firmly entangled.

Jiang Xiaoshu only felt a sharp pain in his neck, which was about to be twisted almost instantly, and at the same time, as soon as his lungs tightened, his breath leaked out involuntarily, and his eyes suddenly went black, almost suffocating.

Jiang Xiaoshu immediately wanted to struggle, but before he could exert his strength, the legs of the person behind him were crossed, and his waist ribs were clamped, Jiang Xiaoshu felt that his back was numb, so he couldn't use half of his strength, so he could only let the other party drag him underwater.

No one could have imagined that Chen Qiaochu, who had suffered a heavy blow, would have such courage, not only did he not breathe in the water, but took advantage of the situation to dive deeper and launched an attack on Jiang Xiaoshu from the bottom!

"Hmm......"

Jiang Xiaoshu's breath in his chest became less and less, the bones in his neck had been twisted out, and the water poured into his mouth and nose in a big gulp, and his eyes were white and vast, and his consciousness was rapidly being lost.

After Chen Qiaochu was injured, in a trance, he made the most subconscious decision of a water bandit - to drag the battlefield into the water and use the water station he is best at to put the other party to death.

Although she was on the verge of suffocation when she was desperately diving; Although the murky river water poured into the wound in her lungs, it would leave permanent sequelae; Although she had lost a lot of blood, she was close to running out of oil.

But after all, she still strangled Jiang Xiaoshu, and she firmly believed that Jiang Xiaoshu would definitely die in front of her.

Jiang Xiaoshu clenched the Langshu sword, his arm trembled uncontrollably, and he stabbed a sword backwards, and with a "poof", the Langshu sword stabbed into Chen Qiaochu's shoulder socket, and blood flowed sideways, but Chen Qiaochu was unmoved, but tightened it tighter.

Jiang Xiaoshu's heart was like ashes, the sword just now had used up the only strength he had left, since he failed to kill Chen Qiaochu, it would be himself who died.

At this moment, Jiang Xiaoshu suddenly felt a shock in his heart, and the sword body was violently impacted, and he could hardly hold it.

At this time, he was on the verge of fainting, and he had no time to think about where this great power came from, he only thought that he was about to die, and he wanted to leave deeper scars on Chen Qiaochu's body.

He grasped the hilt of his sword with both hands, stabbed it backwards, and passed out.

A huge pillar floated from the river, bringing out the blood billing.

At the end of the pillar, a long sword was nailed.

This pillar was the one that Sheng Yu Shen kicked out in Yueyang Tower before, and Jiang Xiaoshu relied on its second borrowing power in the air to fall to the surface of the river, forming an almost thunderous attack on Chen Qiaochu.

After a sword, entering the water, getting out of the water, being twisted and dragged into the water, all this happened almost within a few breaths, so when the column fell into the river, it happened to be the time when Chen Qiaochu was hit by the sword in his shoulder, and Jiang Xiaoshu was almost out of breath.

The huge column broke through the river and smashed to the bottom of the water, the power of a thousand catties to carry the downward trend is really extraordinary, a muffled sound hit Chen Qiaochu's heart, Chen Qiaochu was hit by this huge force, immediately fainted, and the entanglement of Jiang Xiaoshu was suddenly loosened, although it was not to break away, but it could not immediately strangle Jiang Xiaoshu.

The end of the column hit Chen Qiaochu's heart, and the two of them should have been smashed deeper into the water, but at this time, Jiang Xiaoshu stabbed hard, and the strength of the Langshu sword pierced through Chen Qiaochu's shoulder, and the end of the sword blade stabbed into the column with a snort.

The pillar was made of wood, and after the force of the impact was exhausted, it quickly floated upward, and the Langshu Sword was firmly nailed to its end, so the unconscious Jiang and Chen were also taken out of the water.

Jiang Xiaoshu, Chen Qiaochu and the column were firmly strung together by a wave book sword, and the column was bumped down the surging river, and the bodies of the two unconscious people continued to collide with the surface of the river, stirring and taking off the splash.

The water splashed on his face, and he inhaled fresh air in his chest, and Jiang Chen and the others woke up almost at the same time.

The lock on the previous waist rib has been loosened, and Jiang Xiaoshu has a waist

Zhen, his body flipped backwards out of the water, with the Langshu Sword in his hand as the fulcrum, his body drew a semicircle in the air, and his neck also took advantage of the situation to get rid of Chen Qiaochu's entanglement, only to hear the sound of the wave, the Langshu Sword was withdrawn, the other end of the column sank slightly, and Jiang Xiaoshu had already stood firmly.

Jiang Xiaoshu felt the soles of his feet sink, he looked up and found that Chen Qiaochu had also jumped on the other end of the column, and looked at himself at the same time.

Jiang Xiaoshu's face turned black from purple, and the strangulation marks were like hideous poisonous insects all over his neck, and the blood vessels in his neck burst out and beat incessantly.

Chen Qiaochu's right hand has been cut off in half, and her right shoulder has been pierced again, and her right arm is useless at this time, hanging softly, and with every breath she takes, the hole in her chest will come out of the bubbling liquid, which is formed by the mixture of river water and blood.

In the rolling Yangtze River, the pillars rose and fell with the waves, and Jiang Chen and the two at both ends stared at each other, and the river wind howled, blowing the clothes and hair of the two of them to hunt.

It is at this moment that the fog that has been permeating Xiangzhou for many days begins to dissipate, and everything will usher in the final result.

Jiang Xiaoshu's face sank, and he stepped hard, and the other end of the column was suddenly pried up, Chen Qiaochu was caught off guard, his body was in the air, Jiang Xiaoshu took a few steps up, the sword light flashed, and stabbed straight towards Chen Qiaochu, although Chen Qiaochu was in mid-air, he still responded calmly, and even eliminated and hit, defusing Jiang Xiaoshu's offensive, and then kicked back, forcing Jiang Xiaoshu back.

After a fight, the two switched positions, Jiang Xiaoshu was about to continue the pursuit, but he felt a shock to the soles of his feet, and his body involuntarily fell into the water, but it turned out to be Chen Qiaochu's sharp kick, and the column turned sharply in the water, rolling the two of them underwater at the same time.

After Jiang Xiaoshu fell into the water, he immediately stabbed at the top of his head, and snorted that the Langshu sword pierced into the column to help him stabilize his figure, but he knew that the other party was too water-based, and he was only afraid of being fierce and auspicious under the water, and he was about to return to the water, but he saw a shadow flashing in front of him, and Chen Qiaochu's attack had arrived.

I saw that Chen Qiaochu also inserted his hand into the water-soaked side of the column, his feet were linked, and he attacked Jiang Xiaoshu directly, Jiang Xiaoshu fought back with his leg skills, and the two of them were immersed in the water, and they fought fast and quickly, and handed over more than ten moves in an instant.

When the fight was in the end, Chen Qiaochu hit Jiang Xiaoshu's temple with a "wind god leg", Jiang Xiaoshu dodged sideways, but he was a step slower, and he was hit hard in the shoulder, which shocked his bones almost to pieces, but he immediately made a decision, immediately let go of the Langshu sword, grabbed Chen Qiaochu's toes, and pulled it to the side.

If Chen Qiaochu didn't respond, this trigger would immediately break the metacarpal bone of her foot, helpless, Chen Qiaochu had to turn sharply with Jiang Xiaoshu's pull, the column turned again, and with a bang, the two of them came out of the water at the same time.

Chen Qiaochu stood upside down on the pillar with one hand, Jiang Xiaoshu grabbed her foot, her body swinging in the air, and was about to use heavy techniques to abolish Chen Qiaochu's foot, but before she could exert her strength, Chen Qiaochu's other foot was like a spear and attacked the door directly, Jiang Xiaoshu had no choice but to let go and fall back to the ground.

As soon as she retrieved the Langshu Sword, Chen Qiaochu's figure rushed again, and Jiang Xiaoshu's heart lit up - she was not lightly injured and wanted to fight quickly.

Thinking about this section, Jiang Xiaoshu didn't panic, I saw him lifting a sword, the sword light flickered like starlight, it was the Heavenly Star Pavilion peerless "Seven Swords of Intercepting the Sky", the sword body jumped a few inches in front of him, strictly guarding the door, and never greedy for merit, although it was not as offensive and defensive as in the hands of Li Guangyu, but it was enough to hold Chen Qiaochu's attack.

Chen Qiaochu attacked as if he was going crazy, but he was steadily blocked by the "Seven Swords of Heaven Interception", only to see that the wounds on her body were bleeding nonstop, her face was pale, her lips were blue, and even her breathing gradually became heavy, and it had become overwhelming.

Seeing that this evil female thief was about to die under his sword, Jiang Xiaoshu not only did not rush to attack, but became more and more cautious, preferring to delay for a while more than give Chen Qiaochu a chance.

In addition to Chen Qiaochu's all-out attack, she was not idle under her feet, she sometimes pried up the column, sometimes turned the column violently, and wanted to drag the battle underwater, but Jiang Xiaoshu had suffered her several losses under the water before, how could she be defenseless? The true qi of his feet was surging, no matter how Chen Qiaochu tossed the column, he stood firmly on the surface of the water, immobile like a mountain.

After handing in a few more moves, Chen Qiaochu's figure was already crumbling, Jiang Xiaoshu found the opportunity to change his move instantly, a "Cangsong welcomes guests", the sword light swished, and directly took Chen Qiaochu off the plate, this move was so exquisite, Chen Qiaochu jumped back to dodge, and his footsteps were already staggering

。 Jiang Xiaoshu took a step forward and kicked out Chen Qiaochu's lower abdomen, Chen Qiaochu fell to his knees in pain, vomiting a mouthful of blood, Jiang Xiaoshu was merciless, and cut down with a sword.

This sword has been used with ten percent of its strength, even ten Chen Qiaochu have also been cut off together, but before Jiang Xiaoshu can be happy in his heart, Chen Qiaochu, who fell to the ground, suddenly stepped aside and avoided the vital point.

With a swipe, Chen Qiaochu's right arm was cut off, and the remaining momentum of the Langshu Sword was not gone, and the column was cut off with a click.

Jiang Xiaoshu was stunned for a moment, and then found that he was getting farther and farther away from Chen Qiaochu.

Old fishermen know that the heavier the boat, the faster it will drift. Jiang Xiaoshu took a step forward when he attacked before, so after the column was cut off, the column he was standing on was hundreds of pounds heavier than the opponent's, so in just a few breaths, the two of them were already nearly a foot away.

Chen Qiaochu in the upper reaches held down the wound on her right arm and sat up straight, then she raised her head and looked at Jiang Xiaoshu coldly, without saying a word.

It turned out that she had pretended to fall to the ground before, but she wanted to borrow the power of my sword to distance herself. Although Jiang Xiaoshu and the other party are mortal enemies, they can't help but admire the other party's quick decision, even if he cuts off his own arm in order to achieve his goal.

It's a pity you don't have a chance. Jiang Xiaoshu said secretly in his heart, and then jumped and rushed towards Chen Qiaochu upstream.

Chen Qiaochu flipped back, plopped into the river, Jiang Xiaoshu's sword fell short, he stepped on the broken wood, but did not go into the water to pursue, but stood still, his eyes stared at the blood coming out of the river water, the internal force on the Langshu sword surged, and the sword light eight or nine minutes long flowed continuously, as long as Chen Qiaochu came up, he would be immediately cut under the sword.

But at this moment, a whistle suddenly came from the downstream, Jiang Xiaoshu was startled, turned his head to look, but saw a small boat going upstream, approaching this side at a rapid speed.

The person at the bow of the ship was pale and gloomy, and it was actually the great master who had never appeared during the previous battle of Yueyang Tower! More than a dozen purple and black belt masters stood behind him, eyeing him fiercely.

The enemy shot a hidden weapon at Jiang Xiaoshu, if on weekdays, Jiang Xiaoshu could naturally jump and dodge, but now he is in the turbulent river, only the place of the cone under his feet, he has to swing his sword to block, after a while, Jiang Xiaoshu has been a little overwhelmed, helpless, he had to jump into the river, with broken wood as a shield, to resist the opponent's attack.

The sound of popping on the broken wood continued, and Jiang Xiaoshu got up again after a long time, only to see that the broken wood was full of hidden weapons, and the small boat, along with Chen Qiaochu and Wei Ye, was gone, and he was left alone in the rolling Yangtze River.

Jiang Xiaoshu quickly went ashore, performed light skills, and searched for miles upstream and downstream, but never found any trace of the small boat, and Wei Ye, who had never appeared, rescued Chen Qiaochu at the last moment, and then disappeared without a trace.

"Boom ......" At this time, a series of loud noises came from overhead, causing the entire Yueyang City to tremble.

The fog had dissipated, and everyone looked up at the source of the sound, only to see the upper reaches of the Yangtze River, on the top of the cliff, the tall and majestic Yueyang Tower collapsed, and smoke and dust were everywhere.

Far away, Jiang Xiaoshu also saw this scene, thought for a moment, he suddenly smiled, and then sat down heavily, lying down on all fours.

I don't know how long later, there was a sound from the official road in the rear, and then a voice sounded:

"Is Jiang Gongzi here?"

"I'm here." Jiang Xiaoshu got up, dressed in military attache clothes, and came to the front and hugged his fist:

"Jiang Gongzi, the battle of Yueyang City is over, Jiang Yue's group of thieves has been wiped out, and the remnants of the fleeing party, the last general has also organized troops to pursue them."

"Chen Qiaochu was rescued by Wang Wei, and there are more than ten masters around him. Send a few more teams on the waterway and chase down the river from here."

"Yes."

The officer took the order and left, Jiang Xiaoshu sat up, he knew that he was going to be busy again.

"Young Master Jiang, all the paperwork and account books collected in the helm have been confiscated by Master Li, and he asks you to go and discuss with him after you finish handling them."

"Report - some remnants have been found in the North City, and efforts are being made to exterminate them."

"Gongzi Jiang, the 119 counties and counties in Xiangzhou have all sent replies one after another, and the action is going well."

"Newspaper - fires broke out everywhere in Yueyang City, and the people scattered and fled

extinguishing fires and evacuations."

"Jiang Gongzi ......"

"Report ......"

After dealing with all the big and small matters, Jiang Xiaoshu let out a long breath.

Everything is over, Jiang Xiaoshu recalled all the things that happened in these days, and couldn't help but feel like a different life, and now he only felt very tired and tired, so he lay down again, and as soon as he closed his eyes, he fell asleep.

I don't know how long it took, Jiang Xiaoshu woke up, it turned out that there was light shining on his face, he opened his eyes, and saw that the old site of Yueyang Tower above his head had been cleaned, so that the sunlight could pass through, and his body was warm and indescribably comfortable.

Jiang Xiaoshu got up, and then found a person sitting by the river, looking at the sky in a daze

It was Xiaoyu, and when she heard the movement, she didn't turn her head, but chuckled:

"I thought you would chase it all the way down, so I walked along the river for more than ten miles, but I didn't expect you to be lazy and sleep here."

Jiang Xiaoshu smiled:

"Did you see it when Yueyang Tower collapsed?"

"See."

"The Jiang Yue Gang is also like this building, and the general trend is gone. They have made too many enemies, they have lost their power and background, and there will be more people who want to kill them than the fish in the river." After speaking, Jiang Xiaoshu added:

"And when I think about it, most of them have fled from other places, and they probably won't get anything out of chasing them downstream."

At this moment, the officer who led the troops to chase Chen Qiaochu came again:

"Jiang Gongzi, we chased for dozens of miles downstream, and only found a small boat that was scuttled, and the thieves on board were nowhere to be found."

Then another man hurried to him, and it was the herald of the city:

"Jiang Gongzi, I found Chen Qiaochu's message in various places in the city - Jiang Yue helped the people to listen to the order: Wei Ye has escorted me to retire temporarily, and when I make a comeback, I should work together to defeat the enemy. The handwriting on it has been checked by Master Li, and it is written by Chen Qiaochu himself."

"Fight the enemy together? The lost dog is still delusional." Jiang Xiaoshu sneered, and then ordered the two to retreat.

"She didn't even run downstream?" Xiao Yu was a little surprised.

"It stands to reason that she's been building the dog cave in the ground for so many years, and it's not hard to do that." Jiang Xiaoshu explained, and then frowned:

"But what does she mean by leaving this sentence, the Jiang Yue Gang has been wiped out, does she want to make a comeback just by these few words?"

Xiao Yu thought for a while:

"Hmm...... Some kind of code word, perhaps? Only certain people can understand it?"

"Probably, after interrogating the Jiang Yue Gang prisoners, maybe there will be a result."

"Well, let's talk about it later...... Honestly, I just want to sit right now, think about nothing, do nothing."

"Okay."

The two sat quietly by the river, the sunset gradually sank, hitting the surface of the river, reflecting the whole river red, sparkling, and the river tide gradually calmed down.

Jiang Xiaoshu sighed in his heart and sighed loudly:

"In this situation, the remnant sun is like blood, how many heroic tears must be poured out?"

"Are you calling me a hero for not being enough?"

"Huh?"

"Because I don't want to cry at all."

"Ha, what are you thinking?"

"Hmm, I'm thinking - at that time, the beautiful scenery of the good day, the Spring Festival is worth a thousand gold."

When Jiang Xiaoshu heard this, his face suddenly became hot, and he held back for a long time before he said:

"Damn, what I'm saying only works for men, not women."

"Why don't women count?"

"Heroes and heroes are not heroic females, and women certainly don't count."

Xiao Yu laughed when he heard him break his nonsense, and then suddenly said:

"Although you are a man and a hero, you should not shed tears."

"Oh?"

The little fish turned its head and pointed to the sky, its gaze firm and reverent:

"Because the sun will rise again."

Jiang Xiaoshu's expression was straight:

"Nope

No, the sun will rise again."

The four eyes met, and the two looked at each other and smiled, suddenly like a dream.

"To all book lovers,

Many book lovers have discovered that Ming Du has been interrupted for nearly three months (6.07-8.30), and after a few chapters were hurriedly updated in the middle, there was no news.

In fact, it is not to excuse oneself - in addition to being stumbled by mundane things, it is more related to the content of this volume.

"The thief in the purple robe shelters the girl to do evil, and the chivalrous blood opens the peace", referred to as the "Xiangzhou volume", the Xiangzhou volume is currently the most among the ten volumes, as of today, there are nearly 390,000 words, to be honest, although the Xiangzhou volume is an attempt, the introduction of more writing skills and character building methods, but the number of words has swelled to this point, still beyond the author's expectations, so during the break, Ming Du tried to modify and revise the plot and rhythm many times, but still had little effect, and had no choice but to rectify the outline, Try to keep the follow-up content as short as possible, and pay more attention to simplicity and clarity in the writing to avoid procrastination.

The revision is going on intermittently, and it is not roughly completed until today, so today is the day of resumption of the update, and I hope that all book friends will tolerate the author's previous interruption, and thank you for the encouragement and support of book friends during this period.

I hope that the martial arts world in "The Snow Will End" can bring you new touches after the grandmasters.

2023.08.30
