"No, don't cry, woman..."

"Who cried... I didn't cry..."

In the barn of Qingniugang, the heroine Su Yinhua nested at the head of the bed like a stubborn little doe, holding a saber in both arms, deeply sinking into the placket, her wet eyes staring at her toes without blinking, and tears hit her clothes and bedding one by one:

"Jianghu... I am a son and daughter of the rivers and lakes, how can I cry so easily..."

"Yes."

Qin Lang nodded in agreement with her statement:

"The main reason is that the wind and sand in the western realm of the Great Zhou are slightly bigger, so I lost the eyes of the heroine."

“……”

Su Yinhua cried for a moment, his eyes turned his head red, and he looked at Qin Lang slightly, and then the whimper gradually became smaller.

……

Damn guy...

If only he were ugly...

In that case, if you become sad and angry, you will definitely be more justified...

……

Qin Lang saw that the woman's sobbing voice had decreased, and his heart was also relieved.

After the water next to him was also boiled, Qin Lang used a small wooden bowl to hold a bowl of hot water, and then took a half-palm-length and chopstick-thick straw bundle from a bamboo basket, folded it down and soaked it in the water.

"Su Nuxia, give."

“……”

Su Yinhua sucked in his slightly reddened nose, glanced at the wooden bowl in Qin Lang's hand, didn't speak, and turned his head away silently.

"Su Woman?"

“(๑•̀_•́)”

"No, don't look at you like that..."

“(๑•̀︿•́)”

"Su Woman..."

"(๑•̀dish•́)"

“……”

Su Yinhua stared at the red eyes, like a cat that was about to bite at any time.

Qin Lang was helpless, so he had to introduce himself:

"This is called equisetum grass, and the tea that the locals drink, including the tea stalls, is brewed here, although it is not as good as the serious tea, but it has the effect of nourishing and nourishing the blood."

Hearing this, Su Yinhua finally shrank back, and his pretty face leaned back a little:

"Is it delicious..."

“……”

"I... I'm not picking! I'm from the rivers and lakes... No pampering is meant to be... Just asking..."

"Well, I understand."

Qin Lang wanted to laugh a little, and stretched out the horsetail tea in his hand:

"Drink it, it's very sweet, like mother-of-pearl water."

"Mother of pearl..."

Su Yinhua remembered the fritillary pear soup he had drunk before, boiled it in a small pot of marble paid tribute by Yinzhu Kingdom, and garnished it with a small spoonful of osmanthus sauce, which was indeed refreshing and sweet.

Other than that...

Should I say it or not, after all, people saved themselves, and now they are kind enough to boil water to make tea for her.

Although he was "light" about it, Su Yinhua really couldn't care less about it in a short period of time...

After all, in terms of the severity alone, if this happened in her family, this man would have been broken into thousands of pieces...

But now that everything has happened, Su Yinhua can't do anything, so he took the small wooden bowl from his hand first.

Grunt...

"Woo——!"

However, after taking two sips of Leng Buding, Su Nuxia immediately deflated her mouth, and the tip of her pink tongue was exposed, and she swallowed and vomited for a while.

"Well... It's bitter! ”

"Not really, right?"

"Bitter death! Didn't you say it's the same as the mother of pearl! ”

"It's the same as the mother of pearl, the taste is bitter and slightly sweet, and it's a little astringent."

"But the way it is done in the palace..."

"In the palace?"

Qin Lang thought of her horizontal knife, and now he knew more about her identity, but he still pretended to be at a loss on the surface:

"What palace?"

"Palace... The palace is..."

Surprised that she had missed her mouth, Su Nuxia's face turned red, her eyes rolled weakly, and her lips gently pursed:

"It's on the construction site..."

"Construction site?"

"It's the place where the work is done... Don't you know..."

"The construction site is called Gongli? Then why isn't it called the ground? ”

"I want you to care, I'm too lazy to tell you..."

Su Nuxia held the saber, her eyelids raised, and she looked at the beam, looking like she didn't want to talk to Qin Lang.

"Okay."

Qin Lang didn't tease her anymore, and gave her the small wooden bowl again:

"Not to mention the mother-of-pearl, in fact, horsetail tea is the same as ordinary tea, you can taste sweet after the bitterness, you can drink it up."

“……”

"Huh? How? This is good for your injuries, Su Nuxia is also a child of the rivers and lakes, shouldn't she be so afraid of hardship? ”

"How is that possible?! Drink it! ”

At this point, the beautiful woman on the bed pursed her mouth, held her snort, picked up the horsetail tea and began to drink it again.

——————————

Taking advantage of this time, Qin Lang carefully observed the knife that was sandwiched between Su Yin's bottle [rivers and lakes].

Now that Su Yinhua has revealed her identity as a possible "palace", it is not so strange that she is equipped with a horizontal and straight knife.

As for the horizontal straight knife of the "palace" ...

The most famous is the pear knife in the popular [Thousand Hands Ben Thunder Falling Pear Knife].

Qin Lang squinted his eyes and looked at it for a long time, and sure enough, at the seemingly simple scabbard of the scabbard, he found a lifelike pear blossom carved into it.

On the gauntlet of the cutterhead, a petal is engraved separately.

With this design, the moment the blade is unsheathed, it is like a pear petal withering.

Sure enough, it was the pear knife.

……

The Falling Pear Knife actually refers to the royal guard of the imperial court, Yulin Guard.

In the first year of Zhaoguan, the empress ascended the throne and restructured the Supreme Supervision Body, the Survey Division, with 5,000 Yulinwei.

Yu Linwei is a woman, given a rhino robe, wearing a pendant pear knife, mainly responsible for the daily safety of the emperor's relatives and important ministers, including the empress herself.

Therefore, even if it is the lowest official rank in Yulinwei, its force is not inferior to the helm of some small sects on the rivers and lakes.

……

Although Qin Lang doesn't know what Su Yinhua's martial arts are, just looking at her dress and temperament, she shouldn't be Yu Linwei.

The reason why he was able to hold Yu Linwei's falling pear knife was that most of them were the young ladies of the princes and ministers... Or Madame or something.

Looking at his appearance in his twenties, Qin Lang estimated that the latter was more likely.

For example, which adult's concubine fell out of favor? Or the little widow without the master?

Because I was too lonely in the depths, I longed for and stepped into the outside world...

……

The Great Zhou Dynasty was still martial, and there were no rules that restricted women too much, such as foot binding, otherwise there would be no such thing as the empress coming to the court, so Qin Lang's speculation was actually quite reasonable.

But reasonable is reasonable, and speculation is always just speculation.

Qin Lang wanted to ask her identity directly, but he knew with his toes that the other party would definitely not tell him easily.

Compared with this, Qin Lang cares about some more important information at the moment.

——————————

Grunt...

Belch~

“……”

After drinking a whole bowl of horsetail tea on an empty stomach, a certain woman accidentally burped, her face was hot, and she peeked at Qin Lang's expression, feeling that he shouldn't have noticed, so she wiped her mouth with confidence.

"Woman."

"Huh?!"

"Nervous about what..."

Qin Lang glanced at her strangely, and then immediately said:

“… Now that Su Nuxia's blood has stopped, can you reveal where you came from, who you encountered, and why you were attacked? ”

……

The knife wound that makes people bleed is obviously not an ordinary road bulgar, and Qin Lang has been curious about it for a long time.

Su Yinhua thought for a moment when he heard this, and after hesitating for a moment, he was also ready to briefly inform Qin Lang of the ins and outs.

After all, Qin Lang is really his life-saving benefactor, although...

Although in a sense, Su Yinhua always feels... I've actually repaid the favor...

……

"I am... Coming from the capital, all the way from Huaizhou, Yangzhou, Jinzhou, mainly to travel to see the world or something, after arriving in Qingzhou, I wanted to go by the way to see the Tianshan Mountains, so I came in the direction of Jianping County, but I didn't expect that on the way, I met a group of people who claimed to be the blood knife door robbed the road..."

"Blood Knife Gate?"

Qin Lang frowned, that strange wound was actually caused by someone under the Blood Knife Sect, no wonder it was quite peculiar:

"Although the Blood Knife Sect is a Jianghu sect, and even ranked into the current [Three Sects, Six Sects, and Twelve Sects], its style of action is no different from that of the Green Forest Mountain bandits, and it is notorious in Qingzhou, and things like robbing the road can be done completely."

"Well, this situation, in fact, I also knew about it before I came to Qingzhou, but..."

Su Yinhua said, also suspicious:

"Originally, I heard that the Blood Knife Gate has disappeared for ten years, and the local people in Qingzhou along the way also say that it is very safe on the official road now, but I don't know why they suddenly started to move again..."

“……”

"Including half a month ago, when I stayed at the border between Qingzhou and Jinzhou, passers-by said that now the Blood Knife Gate has not appeared again for a long time, but I don't know why today, half a month later, I just caught up with me..."

“……”

“？ What happened to you? Looks a little weird? ”

"Ahem... It's nothing. ”

……

Qin Lang's mood at this time was a little complicated.

Although there is no direct evidence.

But Qin Lang can basically conclude that the reason why the Blood Knife Gate reappeared in the rivers and lakes is mostly related to the fact that its master Xue Gui was killed half a month ago.

Half a month has passed, and Xue Gui's body should almost be sent to Qingzhou Mansion, and the news of his death should naturally spread.

In other words, the reason why the Su Yinhua Su woman in front of him suffered, strictly speaking, seems to have something to do with herself...

……

"Then Su Nuxia, are you single-handedly on the way?"

"No, it's not."

Su Yinhua shook his head, mentioning this, his eyebrows and eyes were obviously worried again, but he opened his mouth and didn't continue to speak, but he heard another gradual sound of horses' hooves outside the house.

"Drive! Driving ——! ”

“？！”

Qin Lang's expression turned over, he stood up, and immediately leaned his arms against the door, looking sideways at the young woman beside the bed:

"Your companion?"

"Huh...?"

A ray of joy just rose on Su Nuxia's face, but she immediately became solemn:

"No, Sumire's horse should have been given by the bandits..."

"That's the enemy."

Qin Lang nodded clearly, it seemed that the person who came was not good.

Su Yinhua's white horse was parked under the locust tree not far away, and there must be no one to hide in the house.

Qin Lang'er heard the sound of horses' hooves outside the house gradually clear, and then gradually disappeared, indicating that the person who came had dismounted, stretched out his finger and stabbed through the window paper, except for a purple horse under the locust tree, there was only a calm glow.

It's broken, the person is gone...

"You stay in the house."

"No! I also... Hiss..."

"Don't move the wound, I'll go outside and take a look, you can scream if there is a situation in the house."

"You... Then you have to be careful..."

……

At this time, Qin Lang would rather take the initiative to go outside first, in order to avoid turning the room into a battlefield, and it would be too easy to affect the wounded at that time.

Facts have proved that Qin Lang's choice was right.

As soon as he left the house with his front foot, he closed the door, and as soon as he turned around with his back foot, he saw a slender figure wrapped in a black power suit, which appeared in front of him like a ghost!

Not good!

Qin Lang was startled, suddenly raised his arms, and pushed closely, wanting to distance himself from the other party who suddenly got close.

——!

However, in the midst of the lightning and flint, Qin Lang suddenly felt that there were two fragrant winds wrapped in coolness, which passed through the gap between his raised arms with incomparable precision.

"Don't move!"

A cold break suddenly sounded in his ears, and after Qin Lang held his breath, he saw two bright silver daggers in front of him, one against his abdomen, and the other on his neck.

Disembowelment, or throat sealing!

The other party provided himself with two ways to die in an instant!

And at this life-and-death juncture, only a foot away from the door in front of him, what Qin Lang saw was a beautiful and unparalleled face, a tail of hair tied high behind his head, and a pair of cold and sharp eyes.

"Where's my wife..."
