Barren mountains and wilderness, winding paths zigzag forward, there are only a few dead wild trees on the side of the road, outside the wild trees, is a pile of wild grass cemetery, deep in the years, no one to worship, no one to take care of, has long been reduced to a deserted grave.

Further out, there is a huge network of water that spreads across the two rivers, rumbling and deep.

The horror is unbearable.

In such a world that has long been abandoned and forgotten, two boys in black walked tremblingly on the road.

The wolf howled, the beast roared, and the slippery snake body crawled over with a hiss, and the hair of the straight man stood on end, frightened and suspicious.

They just want to get out of this horrible place as soon as possible.

So they unconsciously quickened their pace, but they walked deeper into the field.

They're actually looking for people.

If it weren't for what the two of them were holding, they would have fled immediately.

Who would stay in such a suffocating place?

Naturally, it will not be an ordinary person.

The two men stopped suddenly, whispered for a while, turned around and went into the grave beside the road.

The owl in the night sky chirped in a low voice, and the strange blue fire floated randomly in front of the two of them, and even when the two passed by, the flame would follow behind the two.

"Whew"

There was a wolf howl ahead.

"It should be over there, let's go ......" The two seemed to have found their target and began to accelerate in the direction of the sound.

And in the direction where the voice came, a man dressed in blue threw a dead wolf far away and flew over the heads of the two people who had just arrived.

"Mommy......"

"Don't be a mother, take a look, aren't you?"

The two of them huddled behind a grave bag, frightened and unable to look at the figure in the distance who didn't know if it was a person or a ghost.

"With your back to us, this ...... I can't see clearly, blue clothes, I guess it......"

"Take a closer look at ......"

"I'm watching...... Hey, why is it gone? ”

"You're looking for me?" A hoarse saw-bark-like voice reached the ears of the two of them.

"Wow!"

The defenseless two were startled and almost tumbled over the grave bag.

Because the voice came from behind the two of them.

"Haha......" A hearty laugh made this cold cemetery have a touch of warm popularity, and the two remembered to look back.

"Second Senior Sister? Ouch...... Are you trying to scare the two of us to death? The two younger brothers saw the face of the woman in blue behind them, and then they slid down from the grave bag with confidence.

The two younger brothers came here to find it, and naturally it was none other than the woman in blue with a big knife in front of her, Tang Qingshuang.

The people who live here are naturally him.

Just like Lin Xi said, most people with strong martial arts have some quirks.

"I said you two are too bold, why don't you let others come to me?" Tang Qingshuang said with a smile, the hoarse voice just now was also deliberately pretended by her to scare the two of them.

Although Tang Qingshuang didn't want to admit it, although she had only stayed with Lin Xi for a short time, it was this period of time that made her gradually become less ruthless and irritable.

"I said Second Senior Sister...... Except for the two of us, no one dares to come! It's too ...... for you to stay in this place."

"You have this little guts, and it's useless to practice martial arts -- what's the matter, let's talk about it."

"Senior sister, this is a letter to you."

Tang Qingshuang took the letterhead from his younger brother and asked, "Letter?" Who wrote it? ”

"I don't know, but there's a hairpin on the letter, can you take a look?"

Tang Qingshuang took the hairpin and looked at it carefully through the pale moonlight.

"Little Liu! Is it Ling'er's letter? Tang Qingshuang's eyes lit up.

"Is it the letter from the sixth senior sister?"

Tang Qingshuang said while opening the envelope: "Although it is Ling'er's letter, I estimate that there should be an accident on Lin Xi's side." ”

"Lin Xi?"

Tang Qingshuang glanced at the two puzzled younger brothers, and then reacted: "Forget, you don't know, forget it, if you don't know, you won't know." ”

Tang Qingshuang looked at the letterhead in her hand with her own care, and her face became more and more heavy: "They want to help." ”

"Sixth Senior Sister's side...... Is there something wrong? The little brother looked at Tang Qingshuang's face and couldn't help asking.

"Ling'er said that they have nothing to doppelgänger and asked me to help protect someone. Strange, what are they going to do? ”

What she said was naturally Lin Xi and her party, after all, she didn't know what happened after she arrived in Liaoguo, and she was still wondering how so many people could have no time to clone.

"That'...... Second Senior Sister, then you want to ......"

"Go back, bring me the best horses, and I'll go at once."

"Yes!"

For Kou Zhun, these days have been extremely dull.

It's so bland that nothing even happens.

There was no news from Lin Xi, who moved to Shandong.

Above the imperial court, the news of Taishan's sealing of Zen almost overshadowed everything, causing Kou Zhun to hardly hear any other rumors.

The entire Great Song Dynasty seems to have fallen into a brief stagnation.

Long sleepless nights.

Kou Zhun walked out of the house, and the little guy at the door also turned on the lamp with interest.

"Sir, where are you going?"

Kou Zhun took a breath of the cold and fresh air outside and said, "I don't go anywhere, I just can't sleep." By the way, you go and see if Yu Shiping is asleep, if he doesn't sleep, call him over. ”

"Yes, sir." The little guy replied.

"My lord, I haven't slept yet." Yu Shiping's voice sounded beside him, and his figure slowly came from the path leading to the back hall.

Kou Zhun smiled faintly: "Okay, I'll let someone call you too." ”

Yu Shiping took the lampstand in the hand of the little servant and said in a low voice: "I'll take this lamp, you go down." ”

"Yes."

It's not that Yu Shiping has to give Kou Xiang this lamp, but Yu Shiping knows very well that if Kou Zhun wants to call himself late at night, it will definitely not be a simple family affair, but it must be a confidential matter, and the fewer people who hear it, the better.

"My lord, you should have something to say about you when you came to the lowly post late at night, right?"

Kou Zhun sighed: "Actually, there is nothing, but it's just ...... It's because nothing has happened lately that I'm worried. ”

"What do you mean?"

"There is no news from Lin Xi, there is no news from the imperial court, and even in Jingbei in recent days, nothing has happened."

"My lord, I don't understand, this should be ...... Not a bad thing, right? Yu Shiping was puzzled: "Lin Xi should be far away, there is no way to send the news over, don't worry too much, with his ability, there shouldn't be much trouble."

As for the imperial court, I think everyone has been busy canonizing the Holy Mount Tai recently, and they don't have time to think about anything else. ”

"It's because I don't have time to think about anything else that I'm worried that someone will fish in troubled waters......"

"My lord, what are you worried about?"

Kou Xiang paused: "Liu Xi hasn't jumped out for a long time. ”

Yu Shiping suddenly realized: "It's really true that you said this, we haven't heard from Liu Xi for a long time. ”

Kou Zhun nodded: "Yes, this is not like what he Liu Xi can do." ”

Yu Shiping asked: "It's not quite like it, then ...... you think?"

Kou Zhun snorted without changing his face: "Unless he has something more important." ”

Kou Zhun pondered: "I feel more and more now that Liu Yingming's rebellion at the beginning may not be his own intention, but he is doing things for others. ”

"You mean Liu Xi?"

Kou Zhun stretched out his hand to interrupt Yu Shiping's words, "This matter is undocumented, you can't say it......"

Yu Shiping said: "Harm, I think it's probably because Liu Xi followed Emperor Taishan to seal the Zen, so he didn't fall into the well to deal with you." Besides, even if he wants to deal with you, the most he can do is to report to the emperor about you, and there is nothing else, so what are you worried about? ”

"I'm worried about safety—the safety of the emperor, the safety of the elder of the king, my safety."

"Safe?" Yu Shiping smiled suspiciously: "You also have someone to escort you when you go out here, what's not safe?" The other two, not to mention. ”

"Hehe......" Kou Zhun laughed deeply: "Safety? ”

Kou Zhun shook his head, "In the entire Great Song Dynasty, there is no place where Kou Zhun can be safe. ”

"My lord, it seems that you are talking a little ...... tonight Excessive anxiety? ”

Kou Zhun's eyes became more and more intense, as if he had figured out something: "This is by no means unfounded--Liu Xi has dreamed of letting me die, and now he hasn't looked for me for months, what does this mean?" ”

Yu Shiping frowned: "This seems to be ...... It doesn't mean anything, does it? ”

In the darkness of the night, a voice suddenly sounded above the two of them: "This means that you are already a dead man." ”

"Who?" Yu Shiping was shocked in his heart, and immediately looked towards the dark night sky where everything was missing.

After a short period of silence, a black-clothed swordsman jumped down from the roof and kicked the lampstand in Yu Shiping's hand over, the lampstand fell to the ground, and Yu Shiping's eyes suddenly became pitch black.

Yu Shiping was stunned for a moment, and the black-clothed swordsman kicked him away, and Yu Shiping's body slammed into the wall.

"There are assassins! There are assassins! Yu Shiping shouted loudly.

"Stop shouting." The only thing that responded to him was the cold voice of the black-clothed swordsman in front of him: "If there are still subordinates and guards alive, will we still come here?" ”

As soon as these words fell, more than a dozen people jumped down from the roof. These people were dressed in a variety of clothes, and their weapons were even more varied, but there was only one thing that was surprisingly consistent - except for the leader of the man in black, everyone else was silent, and did not make a single sound.

Kou Zhun asked coldly, "Who are you?" ”

"The one who killed you."

Kou Zhun asked again, "Liu Xi sent you, right?" ”

The black-clothed swordsman smiled coldly: "Hehehe...... Or else? ”

"What exactly does Liu Xi want to do?"

"Haha...... You're really curious, death is on the verge of death, and there are so many questions. ”

Kou Zhun faced the weapons of more than a dozen people, although he knew that he might not be far from death, but he was not afraid at all after seeing the big scene: "Everyone has curiosity, and I am the same." Even if it is death, at least I have to understand how I died. ”

The black-clothed swordsman smiled and said, "Hahaha...... All I can tell you is that history is going to be rewritten – and you people are going to be eliminated as losers. ”

"What a crazy boy, the loser doesn't have to be." A cold female voice rang out from the darkness, and a long knife slammed to the ground, knocking everyone back several steps.

Tang Qingshuang lifted the long knife, and the killing intent was in full swing: "You guys are pretending to be farmers well, I didn't even see it for a while, you are the people I am looking for." ”

"Who are you?" The black-clothed swordsman asked angrily.

"Woman, are you ......" Yu Shiping also asked.

"Entrusted by Lin Xi, I came to protect Kou Xiang from being victimized by traitors."

"Lin Xi?" The people in front of him and behind him were shocked.

"Looks like I'm not too late." Tang Qingshuang said with a smile.

The black-clothed swordsman threatened: "You alone want to stop our Lord Liu's plan?" ”

"Hey......" Tang Qingshuang waved his hand: "First of all, I want to correct a little, I didn't come alone." ”

Yang Luan led dozens of soldiers to rush out from all directions, and immediately surrounded the dozen or so assassins.

The tide turned in an instant.

"You, you ......"

Tang Qingshuang said: "Haha, I'm really sorry, we met halfway."

Still, I'll say—"

Tang Qingshuang's voice was soft and cold, as if it was piercing the bone and sucking the marrow.

"On my own, I can kill all of you at any time."
