The weather in Xingqing City is gradually getting colder, and Xu Huaigu was originally going to wait until the spring is warm next year before going north, but the three realms that he has been thinking about for a long time still have not broken through, which makes Xu Huaigu very annoyed.

At this time, he was already a little unable to maintain the peaceful state of mind he had before, after all, time waits for no one, and every time he breaks through the realm, he has more certainty that he will be able to protect the people he wants to protect when the demon clan invades Dongfu Yaozhou.

So Xu Huaigu couldn't wait a little, and he planned to go north directly in winter. In any case, there are more opportunities on the way north, and his hope of breaking through the border is greater.

He hid it from Yu Qin when he was going north in winter, and only told Huang Shan, so as not to make Yu Qin have unnecessary trouble.

On the day of the winter solstice, the four of them met again in Longfeng Building, namely Xu Huaigu, Huang Shan, Yu Qin and Yi Yun.

Everything is ready, the things that should be prepared have been prepared sufficiently, and Xu Huaigu has also helped Yu Qin take care of the things that should be done, so he is ready to set off the next day, so this meal is also regarded as the last meal of the group together.

Xu Huaigu is a little sad in his heart, it is not easy to meet a group of sincere friends, but life has never been self-conscious, and he is pushed forward by the wheel of fate all the time.

He still didn't tell Huang Shan about the demon clan's imminent invasion of Dongfu Yaozhou, and he still remembered what Deng Jikite had told him at that time.

If there are lower-level monks who know about the invasion of the demon clan, they will inevitably gradually flee from Dongfuyao Continent, and when the lower-level monks and people flee from Dongfuyao Continent in large numbers, this continent will be even more precarious, which involves the mysterious luck of a continent.

The matter of luck has always been mysterious, and it is probably maintained by the manpower of a continent and the immortal family, and no one is in charge.

Xu Huaigu thought about it again and again, but he still didn't say anything about it.

He believed that when he returned from the north, he would protect this group of people, which was also the driving force for Xu Huaigu's cultivation.

Huang Shan still drank in a big bowl, and he didn't see the sadness of parting at all. According to his words, young people always have to go to the world to break through, otherwise what's the use of being young and enthusiastic? This is a great thing and should not be worried.

When he sees a woman he likes, he boldly chases it, and when he sees injustice, he draws his sword and pulls out his sword, this is the rivers and lakes in Huang Shan's eyes.

Not long before the banquet began, Yu Qin left first and went to the residence of the woman on the pipa to wait for her to finish playing.

Yi Yun was a little puzzled and asked Xu Huaigu, "What's wrong with Yu Qin, what is she doing?" ”

Xu Huaigu was in a complicated mood, not knowing whether to be happy or worried, and said: "She went to find the woman who played the pipa, and they have been together a lot recently. ”

Yi Yun was surprised: "She got acquainted with that pipa woman?" That's really a great thing, I think I can get to know such a famous musician in the capital, and let Yu Qin ask the pipa woman for a song another day. ”

Huang Shan wiped the wine from the corner of his mouth with his sleeve, and said with a laugh: "Xu Huaigu, you have to be careful, it is said that some women are born with the good of that lily, and they like women but not men." I've watched Yu Qin's little girl's film, don't look at it yet, but it's definitely a beauty embryo, if the woman who arrives at the bedside is abducted by another woman, you will lose a lot. ”

Xu Huaigu knew that Huang Shan was playing tricks on himself, so he ignored him, but said solemnly to Yi Yun: "Miss Yi, in fact, I always feel that this woman in red is a little weird. Speaking of the first time I saw her, I felt that she and I seemed to know each other in the dark, and in short, it was a very strange feeling, indescribable. I'm afraid that she approached Yu Qin for another purpose, so please help me keep an eye on Yu Qin and a woman, and if there is anything to do, I will be grateful for it. ”

Huang Shan mocked again: "You think you know it at first glance? Xu Huaigu, this shouldn't be the romantic debt you owed in your previous life, right? I can't see that your kid is serious on the surface, but he is still a merry man. ”

Xu Huaigu still ignored him, Huang Shan was bored with himself, and continued to drink alone.

Yi Yun saw that Xu Huaigu's tone didn't look like you were joking, and his face was really worried, so he also replied seriously: "Okay, since you say so, I will definitely help you take care of Yu Qin." ”

Xu Huaigu breathed a sigh of relief and continued to eat, but he was still absent-minded.

Yi Yun felt an indescribable sentimentality in her heart, and she was a little envious that Yu Qin could have such a man behind her back to do everything for her.

After all, Xu Huaigu has always treated her like a friend, and she has never crossed the slightest, and that kind of heartfelt worry has never been shown to her.

While Xu Huaigu was eating, he listened to the music of the pipa girl outside the window, obviously not drinking, but he was a little intoxicated.

For some reason, today's pipa music seems to be exceptionally good, ethereal and ethereal, as if coming from the ninefold clouds.

One by one, one by one, one by one, all just right, this pipa skill can be described as unprecedented.

Xu Huaigu's movement of raising chopsticks gradually stopped, and even he, who had never been interested in music, couldn't help but listen to this song carefully.

He closed his eyes and enjoyed the music carefully, and the corners of his mouth rose slightly, very intoxicated.

If he still has his eyes open, he can see that the people in the entire restaurant are as drunk as Xu Huaigu, and no one even notices that the plates on the second-hand side of the shop are broken on the ground, as if they have gone mad, and the picture is very weird.

It's as if all the people were taken away by this tune.

At the end of the song, everyone was still immersed in it, savoring it carefully, and didn't want to open their eyes for a long time.

Suddenly, Xu Huaigu and Huang Shan opened their eyes at the same time.

The two looked at each other, making sure of the thought in each other's hearts.

What a heavy murderous aura!

Xu Huaigu drew his sword out of the sheath as soon as possible to avoid accidents.

On the stage in the lobby, the pipa woman's face was like frost, and her whole temperament was diametrically opposed to usual.

She hugged the lute in her hand, and exerted her strength like a dragonfly in water, and with a slight leap, she reached a three-story height.

She raised the lute in her hand, slammed open the carved window of a private seat on the third floor, and then flew into the private seat.

"Bang!"

A sudden sound sounded in the restaurant.

The loud sound of the pipa smashing open the small window woke everyone in the restaurant, everyone looked at each other, and they didn't know what was going on, and when they looked at the stage, they found that the pipa woman had disappeared, but left sawdust falling from the third floor.

A silver bottle burst through the water slurry, and the iron rider stood out with swords and guns.

The pipa woman had entered the seat, and at a glance she saw a fat official in a black gauze hat retreating in panic, and crawling towards the door of the seat, which was the target of her trip.

She stretched out her hand and wrapped it around her long hair, and with a pull, the white belt that tied the three thousand green silks was pulled off by her, and the waist-length hair was unbound and spread out in all directions.

The white sash instantly straightened out in her hand and turned into a white sword.

The movements are elegant, all in one go, and everything is done in a flash.

She raised her sword and stabbed at the panicked fleeing official.

The fat official's pupils gradually dilated, and the flesh on his face trembled with fear.

Seeing that the woman was about to succeed, but something happened to her, and two guards suddenly flashed in outside the door and rushed up to block the woman's attack.

The two guards were both armed with knives and wore the imperial official uniforms of the imperial court, and they were the two martial artists of the Three Realms who were raised by the imperial court, and they were the officials who personally protected this three-rank official.

The two guards cooperated very tacitly, and the tips of their knives were mistaken, blocking the woman's sword that was originally intended to be won.

The woman had expected that with this blocked sword, she took a few steps back, and wanted to step forward again.

The two guards, who were also not vegetarians, drew their knives and rushed at the woman, pestering her to the death, trying to buy time for the official to escape.

The order of the women's swords is orderly, and each sword is just right, either to block the attacking knife, or to break the defense, no sword is superfluous.

Her swordsmanship is very exquisite, and she is still at ease with the two martial artists of the Three Realms, but the two guards also know tactics, and they know that with the two of them working together, they will inevitably be women's opponents, so they fight and retreat, just entangled the woman.

The battle upstairs was getting hotter and hotter, and with the woman's sword, the sword intent in Xu Huaigu's heart was also drawn.

He finally couldn't hold it anymore, drew his sword out of its sheath sharply, and prepared to go to the third floor.

Huang Shan hurriedly stopped him and warned, "Don't go, we've been looking away all along." That pipa woman is a sword cultivator, and her realm is higher than mine, it is the fifth realm. She's not aiming at us, so don't get involved in it. ”

Yi Yun also understood the current situation at this time, and said in a panic: "That's right, let's not meddle in this matter, the most important thing is to protect ourselves." ”

Xu Huaigu had no choice but to forcibly suppress the thirsty sword intent in his heart, sat on the ground, held his breath and concentrated, and began to restrain his sword intent.

Although the battle was very difficult, the two guards had successfully entangled the pipa woman, and the Sanpin official, who had been assassinated for some reason, finally ran to the door of the elegant seat, and quickly ran out frantically without daring to turn back.

The pipa woman watched her target leave, but she was not disappointed, and the corners of her mouth showed a subtle sneer. Then her mind moved, and a string on the lute that no one was paying attention to pulled out of its own accord and headed out the door.

She said three times in her heart.

Within three sounds, the string had quickly gone out through the gap between the doors, towards the official.

The third-grade official ran down the stairs in a panic, and turned his head to look upstairs, but he still heard the sound of swords intersecting from the third floor, and he was relieved, thinking that he had escaped.

Suddenly, his face froze, his steps came to a halt, and he fell to the ground, sliding forward for a long time.

The string drawn from the lute went through his back, and when it came out of his heart, it was covered with blood.

Because the wound was so small, the officer didn't even shed much blood when he fell to the ground, but his heart was smashed by this string, and he was already dead and could not die again.

The invisible string of the murderous lute danced a few times in the air, as if to ask its owner for credit, and then returned to the lute, just as the lute-woman had finished silently reciting the third note.

The corners of her mouth raised slightly, and she repelled the two guards with a sword, then picked up the lute and jumped down from the third floor, and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

The two guards knew that it was useless to chase her, and it was their duty to protect the third-rank official of the imperial court, but when they went to look for the official, they were surprised to find that he had fallen to the ground, breathless.

The two guards knew that they had made a big mistake, and they looked at each other, and they both secretly complained in their hearts, thinking about how to explain to the court when they went back.

From the time she started to the time she left the restaurant, it took less than ten breaths in total.

The original diners in the restaurant didn't know what was going on, and they watched in amazement as the pipa woman jumped down from the third floor, and then blended into the crowded sea of people in Xingqing City.

Although the crowd in the restaurant still hadn't come to their senses, Xu Huaigu and Huang Shan knew very well what was going on.

It was an assassination, and a long-planned assassination.
