It's too late to change into a narrow-sleeved shirt, and when swinging the sword, the wide sleeves blow through the flowers and plants.

Probably being watched by too many people, thinking that if he didn't practice better, he felt a little embarrassed, and Chu Hantang became more focused next.

Chi Yaoyao and Bai Yuan will also give pointers.

In the middle of the practice, she felt more and more handy, and she inadvertently swept to the side, and found that Xie Yihuai woke up at some point, and was leaning against the door panel of her room at the moment.

Chu Hantang's hand unconsciously let go, and the long sword was thrown out uncontrollably, stabbing at him in a daze.

She was startled, "Be careful! ”

Xie Yihuai's eyes reflected the shadow of the sword flying over, but he didn't dodge it directly, but tilted his head slightly, and the tip of the sword seemed to rub his hair, and stabbed into the door panel with a "bang".

Seeing that the sword did not hurt anyone, the people present invariably breathed a sigh of relief.

Xie Yihuai calmly took the long sword off the door panel, threw it back to Chu Hantang, pulled out the dagger at his waist, and the corners of his lips curved into a beautiful arc.

"I'll accompany you to practice the sword, but ...... You use a sword, I use a dagger. ”

"What do you think?" His voice is always soft, giving the illusion that he will be gentle.

In fact, this kind of thing of accompanying others to practice swords is so common that it can't be more ordinary, after all, I always practice by myself, and I can't improve anywhere.

Chi Yaoyao and Bai Yuan naturally didn't think there was anything wrong with it, not to mention, having someone with high martial arts skills to sparring them would get twice the result with half the effort.

Chu Hantang was a little nervous, but he also nodded, he has high martial arts skills and is a good sparring partner.

Liu Zhipei originally planned to accompany her to practice swords after a while, to check how well Chu Hantang mastered the knowledge of sword movement, but he didn't expect Xie Yihuai to offer to accompany her to practice swords first.

Others don't know the situation, maybe they just think it's a simple sword practice.

But in Liu Zhipei's eyes, there is a kind of ambiguity...... Ambiguous color? He quickly shook his head and shook the thought out.

Two teenagers stood in the empty courtyard.

Chu Hantang glanced at the dagger in Xie Yihuai's hand, hesitated a little, and asked thoughtfully, "You really only use daggers?" Don't change a sword? ”

He turned his wrist holding the dagger, "I'm used to using daggers. ”

"Okay then."

As soon as the words fell, he saw Xie Yihuai take a few steps forward, and the dagger stabbed over without the slightest pause, Chu Hantang hurriedly bent down to dodge, widening the distance between the two, and then quickly raised his sword to counterattack.

The sword reached into the air, and her wrist was pinched against the bone with two fingers.

Chu Hantang was startled, Xie Ruhuai flashed to her side, and his breath fell on her ears and temples, driving the broken hair and sweeping the itchy skin.

His pale fingers were slender and powerful, and with a slight pinch, Chu Hantang almost let go of the hand holding the long sword, but the young man did not continue to exert force, and she was not in pain, but a burst of numbness.

"If someone grabs your wrist in a fight, how will you fight back?"

Chu Hantang's earlobe was slightly burned by the heat from Xie Yihuai's breath, and he couldn't help but turn his head sideways, but he didn't forget to think about the question he asked.

After a few seconds, she lifted her other hand and squeezed it behind her back.

Learning Xie Yihuai's method of pinching his wrist, Chu Hantang pinched back, he smiled silently, and before she raised his sword to stab her, he walked behind her and glanced at the hairband embroidered with the word Xie.

Liu Zhipei also looked at it seriously.

Chu Hantang adjusted his breathing, his elbows back, and wanted to bump away from Xie Yihuai, who wanted to attack her from behind, but he was still sensitive to defuse it.

Xie Yihuai's palm rubbed the back of Chu Hantang's hand, cold and cold.

It was as if he was cooling her down.

There is a tactile feeling that seems to be absent.

Chu Hantang's breathing was chaotic, as if he was a thief, and he peeked at a few people who were standing not far away watching them practice swords.

Those few people only cared about analyzing Xie Yihuai's tricks, and they didn't notice anything else at all.

Even Yanagi no Bae is the same.

Because compared with the long sword, in addition to the advantage of being able to surprise unprepared, the dagger has many disadvantages, such as not suitable for long-range combat, not long enough, and blocked by people's long swords.

Therefore, his attention was gradually shackled by "how Xie Yihuai could shackle Chu Hantang when the long sword was dominant".

Although the idea is somewhat unkind.

After a while, this sword practice ended with Chu Hantang knocking out the dagger in Xie Yihuai's hand, and then pressing the person to the big tree.

Her breathing was messy, and beads of sweat were on her forehead.

The long sword was pressed against Xie Yihuai's white neck, and the silver sword body lined the nearly flawless skin more fragile, as if the person who was held against by Chu Hantang with the sword was a young man who was powerless.

Liu Zhipei's jaw dropped in shock.

This, this, this! That's not how the water is released! And their posture is a bit dangerous, with their upper body and upper body tightly attached, facing each other, breathing intersecting.

Of course.

He is the only one who feels that his posture is dangerous.

Chi Yaoyao and Bai Yuan felt that it was no problem at all, it was common for sword practice to produce physical contact.

What's more, in their eyes, Xie Yihuai and Chu Hantang are both men, so why not get closer when practicing swords? Men and men often bathe in the river together and practice swords.

Chu Hantang also knew that Xie Yihuai had released water.

Otherwise, with her skills, it would be impossible to knock down the dagger he was holding, and then press the person to the tree, but the two of them are only practicing swords, and it doesn't matter who loses or who wins.

Chu Hantang just wanted to take back the long sword, but saw Xie Ruhuai move his neck forward.

The sharp blade of the sword slices through the skin.

Beads of blood stained the blade red.

As soon as Chu Hantang saw Xie Ruhuai's blood, he threw the sword directly to the ground, "You! How are you moving and bleeding! ”

The crowd was drawn to her shouts again.

Xie Yihuai raised his hand, slowly wiped a shallow sword wound on his neck with his fingertips, and said with a smile: "It's bleeding, but it's just a little blood, it's okay." ”

Chu Hantang asked Chi Yaoyao if he had any medicine.

The latter hurriedly asked Su Xin to go back to the room and get the good medicine powder out, and then said rationally: "The wound is not deep, and after applying the medicine, it will be able to scab over within a few days." ”

Xie Ruhuai suddenly asked, "Will there be a scar?" ”

Chi Yaoyao obviously didn't expect him to ask this, and he was slow for a few seconds before he said, "Although this varies from person to person, as long as you use the wound medicine I prepared well, you won't leave a scar." ”

Chu Hantang also nodded in agreement.

"That's right, Sister Chi's medicine is very easy to use, as long as you use it for a few days in a row, it won't leave a scar when the wound scabs over."

She had also been stabbed with a sword by those who were chasing them before, and she had used the medicinal powder prepared by Chi Yaoyao, and now the wound healed well, and she didn't seem to have a scar.

Xie Ruhuai said "hmm".

After the birthday banquet, Liu Duanheng sat alone in the room for a long time, the doors and windows were closed, and the people who were waiting next to him just now were also told by him to retreat.

The small box that Chi Yaoyao handed over to him was placed on the table at this moment.

The carved pattern on the surface of the small box is very special.

Liu Duanheng sat for a while before picking up the small box, and his hand that danced with swords all the year round had a thin layer of calluses, slowly rubbing the carvings on the surface.

Then, he pressed it on each of the six sides.

The first layer of mechanism was opened, Liu Duanheng's face did not change, and he continued to unravel the next mechanism, there were a total of six layers of mechanism in the small box, but it would only take a little time for him.

Chi Xiancheng and Liu Duanheng can be regarded as old friends, and he was also in the limelight when he was an official in the imperial court.

Later, when he learned of the other party's death, Liu Duanheng was also very sad at that time, but unfortunately he couldn't help much.

After the last layer of mechanism was opened, Liu Duanheng did not check the contents of the small box for a long time.

He can probably guess what these are, which is nothing more than evidence of how many people Liu Xiu'an indirectly killed by using living people to learn witchcraft, regardless of the safety of the people.

Liu Xiuan acted cautiously, but he didn't want to be collected by Chi Xiancheng as evidence.

Liu Duanheng couldn't help but admire him a little.

In the past, when Liu Duanheng noticed that Liu Xiuan was going to govern the country in a crooked way, he always wanted to find evidence of what she did, but he couldn't find it.

Chi Xiancheng found it, which was surprising.

Liu Duanheng finally opened the small box and took out all the things inside, there was a piece of brown paper with drawings and annotations, which looked like a way to practice witchcraft.

There is also a part of the letter, and one of them seems to be a letter written by Cheng Chizheng in Chi County.

The red font seems to be written in blood and ink.

He did not hesitate any longer, opened the letter, and read it carefully.

The more I looked, the more shocked my expression became.

Liu Duanheng stood up in disbelief, a few pieces of letter paper fell from his palm, how could it be, how could this be true, it turned out that he had only guessed half of the truth correctly.

If only that were the truth.

Then should he go to Chi Yaoyao and exchange the contents of the small box for her?

Liu Duanheng had a splitting headache, and now he suddenly didn't know how to choose, he stood in place for a moment, then bent down to pick up all the letterheads, and put everything back in the small box.

The next second, there was a knock on the door outside.

Liu Duanheng was stunned for a moment, with a bad premonition, looked at the reflection outside the door and asked, "Who is it?" ”

All I could hear was a laugh like a silver bell.

Then he pushed the door in, and the person who came stepped in fearlessly, and the girl looked at him, hooked her lips and said, "Third brother, it's me." ”

His fingers tightened, and he looked at Liu Xiu'an, who was dressed as a girl again, "Why are you ......?"

Liu Xiuan said with a smile: "Day, I came to attend the birthday banquet of the third prince as the emperor, and in the evening, I came as a sister to congratulate the third brother on his happy birthday, what, aren't you welcome?" ”

Liu Duanheng looked at her who walked in front of him, his throat was dry, "How can the minister make His Majesty and the minister happy on their birthday." ”

A dagger silently came out of Liu Xiu'an's sleeve and pressed against his chest.

The cold and sharp blade slashed through Liu Duanheng's clothes and hit the major artery in his neck.

She looked up at him, smiling undiminishedly.

"My good third brother, just tell me, whether the little box has fallen into your hands, hand it over, otherwise if I go down, the third brother will leave me forever."
