All the way back, Su Yan complained with a dark face behind him: "I finally found a way to make money, what are you pulling me for?!" ”

Zuo Qing shook his head and smiled bitterly: "You also want to be involved in the sale of Qinglou?" Aren't you afraid that Su Ming will dismantle you? ”

"His miser is a mother if he is rich, how can he kill me, a cash cow! What's more, I'm not going to sell myself in the Qinglou, you think too dirty, right?! ”

"And who are?"

"Old bustard! To open a green building, I am the bustard, and the master sells wine, the best of both worlds! ”

Zuo Qing almost didn't catch up in one breath, didn't want to deal with him anymore, and left quickly.

Su Yan chased after him with two little short legs and said, "The matter is also done, can you go play?" ”

"Now that the matter is done, let's leave for home tomorrow."

"It's early, it's early!" Su Yan was reluctant, and hurriedly begged him: "Let's stay for a few more days, Chu City is so big and fun!" Just in Fangcai, I made friends with two young ladies, and I made an appointment to go out for a drink tomorrow? ”

"Not necessarily."

Su Yan was not tired and persuaded him: "Then I'll find you another Langzhong, although your hand is good, you still have to make up for it, the Langzhong in Chucheng must be powerful!" ”

Zuo Qing ignored him and continued to walk towards the inn.

Su Yan was angry and helpless, returned to the inn, and saw that Zuo Qing was about to close the door, Su Yan turned sideways, flexibly slid into the crack of the door, picked up the teacup on the table and poured himself a cup of tea, moistening his throat.

"It's hard to come here, and the medicinal herbs are also sold, so I should go around for a while, just go back, I don't know when I will be able to come to Chucheng again in the future."

"If you don't go back, your master should be in a hurry!" Zuo Qing didn't raise his head, rummaging for something in his bag.

"You don't care what he does! It's all here, you really don't want to have a good time? The bamboo forest in Nanshan, the lake view outside the city, as well as the wine shops and teahouses, and all kinds of food on the street, are all things that cannot be seen or eaten in Kuaifeng Town......"

When Su Yan said this, he suddenly stopped as if he thought of something, and sighed slightly.

He is not a person who lives in a remote town, so naturally he will not yearn for the scenery and food of Chu City.

At the end of the day, they're not the same kind of people!

She suddenly became worried, is Zuo Qing going back to Rongguo? After that, it became a life with the master......

It's been nine years, in that square inch, facing the same people, doing the same things, such days, to be honest, she has lived enough!

Zuo Qing finally found the book he wanted to read, and only then opened it, but he caught a glimpse of Su Yan's lost appearance, and asked her cautiously, "What's wrong?" ”

"It's okay," Su Yan turned over, hiding all his emotions. Walking outside the door, she still couldn't help but turn around and ask the person by the window: "Are you going back to Ruoshui?" ”

A trace of panic flashed in Zuo Qing's eyes, and the book in his hand became tighter and tighter, and after a long time, he nodded.

"Also, you've been in Chu for a long time, it's time to go home...... It's time for me to go back, too. Su Yan smiled with relief, closed the door for him and left.

He looked at the door in despair, as if he had lost something important, which made him very uncomfortable and panicked.

The sun sets in the west mountains, and the night is long. Zuo Qing sat in front of the window, he didn't read a page of the book in his hand, he only thought about one thing:

When did Su Yan leave a mark on his heart? And how can it be wiped clean?

The next day, it rained in Chucheng, and the south of the Yangtze River was hazy.

Zuo Qing drove to a bamboo forest, at first it was nothing unusual, but as the carriage went deeper into the bamboo forest, the surrounding atmosphere became more and more strange.

A sharp whistle sounded suddenly, and in an instant, the eyes were full of green bamboos, the wind was roaring, and everywhere in the eyes, there seemed to be countless black shadows passing by, getting closer and closer!

"Not good!" Zuo Qing realized the danger and shook the whip hard, but he didn't expect the horse to be in place, and he didn't dare to take half a step, no matter how much he whipped, it would be useless.

At the critical moment, Su Yan had to kick the horse's buttocks.

"Stupid horse, don't run up when you're dying!"

With a scream, the horse's four legs ran into a line.

But Su Yan still felt uneasy, and when he raised his eyes, the black shadows around him followed the carriage closely, and he couldn't shake it off!

If you let Zuo Qing drive, it is estimated that you don't know how to die!

"I'll drive!"

Su Yan rolled up his sleeves and took the reins.

The speed of the carriage had reached its limit, but the black shadow in the bamboo forest was getting closer and closer, and the light of the knife was even refracted on the window...... In the blink of an eye, it fell on Su Yan's side face again!

She had completely forgotten that the reins of her hands had been worn down with blood, and she just ran forward, or she would have to die here!

"Be careful!"

Zuo Qing quickly went to pull the reins, and the carriage suddenly changed direction, but just happened to dodge the knife that almost slashed Su Yan's neck.

Frightened, one after another the men in black landed in front of the carriage and forced the horses to stop.

The five men were dressed as dead soldiers, all dressed in pitch black, with a vaguely strangely shaped pattern on the left cheek, most of which was covered under the face scarf, revealing only a few traces. Zuo Qing could recognize at a glance that those patterns were the unique imprints of Rong Guo's death row prisoners!

Su Yan had seen the dead soldiers, and he recognized them at this moment, but he was very puzzled by who sent these people, and who were they running for among them?

I don't have time to think about it, it's important to save my life now!

However, with his own martial arts, can he get out alive?

Su Yan had no confidence in his heart.

Zuo Qing suddenly grabbed her arm, but his face was extremely calm: "I'll deal with it, you go quickly." ”

Su Yan looked at Zuo Qing's thin figure, and couldn't help but shake his head: "The matter has come to this, I have to go out of the Su Woman, you watch, if you can see the stitches, help me, if I can't fight the enemy, you run for your life, tell my master, his apprentice is not bad!" ”

After saying that, he jumped out of the carriage, pointed at the dead soldiers and shouted: "If you have the ability, you will go on one by one, and this woman will accompany you to the end!" ”

Under the mask, those pairs of eyes did not fluctuate, like a pool of stagnant water, except for the murderous aura on their bodies, as if they were dead. I saw that the broadswords in the hands of these 'dead people' flipped over, and the white light had quickly surrounded them.

Su Yan scolded the villain, then took a few steps back and climbed into the canopy.

Zuo Qing's nerves had collapsed into a straight line, staring at the battle situation and not daring to relax for a moment. At this moment, seeing Su Yan fall on the canopy, he just breathed a sigh of relief, lifted it up again, and shouted urgently: "Be careful behind you!" ”

Almost at the same time, two more dead soldiers flew up in front of them, and the front and rear attacks seemed to have no way out.

But Su Yan was always desperate to survive, only to see her clasp the handle on the edge of the canopy, jumped down, dodged the frontal attack and kicked the canopy off at the same time, and the jumping plank hit the sneak attacker's lower body, and rolled down with a wail.

A wave has just flattened, and this side has adjusted its offensive to kill again.

After a few rounds of tugging, she barely managed to solve one, and then she had no more strength, letting the shiny blade fall in front of her......

My feet went soft and I rolled down.

I felt that my eyes were black, and my whole body was in hot pain. The murderous aura around him gradually approached, and when it was finally clear in front of him, he found himself surrounded by dead soldiers again.

If such a scene were put on the master, it might not be taken seriously, but for Su Yan, this is a contest between life and death.

One-on-three, head-to-head, she was completely desperate in her heart.

"Their next handicap is a breakthrough!" Zuo Qing's voice broke the deadlock.

Hope was rekindled in Su Yan's eyes, and he immediately turned his hand to kill the past.

The bamboo forest was rattling, but a few tragic wails could still be clearly heard, and the three dead soldiers instantly collapsed to the ground.

Su Yan jumped up on the spot, turned his head and ran, shouting as he ran: "Quick!" You come to drive, run first! ”

Zuo Qing understood, and immediately turned the head of the car to the nearest exit, and when he started, Su Yan had already leaped up.

There seemed to be no one behind him to catch up again, and the bamboo forest was suddenly silent and terrifying......

Zuo Qing slowly stopped the carriage and looked behind him cautiously.

"Something is wrong."

"What's wrong?"

"Look at those people, they disappeared in an instant, maybe there is an ambush nearby."

As soon as the words fell, Su Yan felt that there were more dead soldiers secretly approaching nearby, and hurriedly dragged Zuo Qing behind him to protect him, and scolded: "It's not good for you to open your mouth!" Hurry up, if there is any guy, take it out to defend yourself, I may have to take care of myself! ”

As he spoke, more than a dozen people flew out of the surrounding grass, all of them black-clad masked dead men with short broad knives, all of whom were branded with patterns on their faces, most of which were covered by face towels.

Su Yan clenched the short sword and said to the person behind him: "If I can't resist it for a while, you look at the situation and run for your life, by the way, if I help you escape this time, it will save you twice!" Don't forget to repay me in the future. ”

Zuo Qing's face turned pale, but he still gritted his teeth and took a step forward to block in front of her.

"I won't leave you behind."

This sentence was loud in Su Yan's heart.

Su Yan was stunned for a moment, forgetting that the blades of those dead soldiers were imminent, and her consciousness was no longer controllable, and only one sentence kept circling in her mind: I will not leave you. There was a gust of wind in her ears, and the blade of the knife was almost against her face, and she could only see one arm blocking the knife edge, blocking the danger for her.

Seeing that Zuo Qing's arm was about to be lost, at the last moment, the sound of horses' hooves suddenly sounded from the depths of the bamboo forest, and the masked man in Tsing Yi broke out of the bamboo, followed by a column, a total of eight people, like a swift wind, brushed past Su Yan's carriage, and rushed towards the dead.

One black and one green, one with a knife and the other with a sword, suddenly, the scene changed to a desperate struggle between masked people.

The man in Tsing Yi only showed a pair of eyes, without any status symbol on his body, and even the swordsmanship of the envoy was wild, and it was difficult to trace the source.

At that time, the people in Tsing Yi quickly moved their positions, and the speed was so fast that it was difficult for the naked eye to capture, and all that could be seen was the afterimage, only the flying bamboo leaves remained.

The dead man tried to break through the encirclement, but the afterimage was like an iron wall, and he couldn't get out half a step.

The bamboo leaves fell to the ground, and the array was formed.

The man in Tsing Yi attacked with a sword, and the dirt flew everywhere he went, as if the sky was falling apart......

And the other side relied on the numerical advantage and did not fall behind.

Su Yan was so frightened that he couldn't wait to rush up to help, but if he went, he would leave Zuo Qing alone, and he could only observe the situation from the sidelines.

At this time, the two sides are stalemate, and if they continue like this, I am afraid that it will be difficult to distinguish between them in the dark. She carefully observed the knife skills of the dead soldiers, and found that these people were good at using machetes, although their strength was strong, they were weapons that were difficult to attack from afar, while the people in Tsing Yi used swords, and there was no big difference between high and low, how could they skillfully control the enemy? Su Yan thought of Fang Cai's fight again, and guessed that since this group of people were all good at using knives, they should be trained dead soldiers, and they might even have the same weakness.

Thinking of this, it suddenly dawned on me, and I immediately informed me of this discovery. However, the people in Tsing Yi did not seem to have received the message and did not take corresponding countermeasures. Just when Su Yan's heart was anxious, the people in Tsing Yi quickly changed the array.

Master duels, deadly moves.

Su Yan unconsciously held Zuo Qing's hand, and nervously broke into a cold sweat: "They changed their formation, and the four Tsing Yi people led by them had flexible footwork, so that their swordsmanship was very cunning, and the other four kept changing their positions, so they couldn......'t see clearly."

"The dead fought in a group, and the people in Tsing Yi were difficult to break for a while, so while the four people led by were delaying the enemy's strong offensive, they were also trying to disperse them." Zuo Qing carefully observed the combat methods of the Tsing Yi people: "The rest of the Tsing Yi people are assisting, and it is estimated that they should also be looking for an opportunity to attack them." Wait and see, when the Death Warrior formation is dispersed, the people in Tsing Yi will definitely be defeated with one move. ”

Sure enough, after a few more moves, under the skillful attack of the Tsing Yi people, the attack of the dead soldier gradually showed fatigue.

This is the opportunity!

Thousands of Xiao bamboos swayed, and countless bamboo leaves flew down, slashing across Su Yan's cheeks, leaving a long and narrow opening. Su Yan was in pain, and when he looked up, the blood-stained bamboo leaf was sucked away by the sword qi brought up by the array, and disappeared as the snow-like fragments of the sword and the corpse fragments fell to the ground.

Everything is calm, and it is clear who will win and who will lose.

Su Yan jumped out of the carriage and ran over, but they plunged into the depths of the bamboo forest just like when they appeared, coming and going without a trace......

Who is the man in Tsing Yi, and who sent the dead man? Is it related to water? Su Yan was scared in her heart, she was afraid that all this would be related to her in the end......

This side is in distress, and Zuo Qing has been squatting on the severed arm of the stump at some point. The smell of blood penetrated his nose into his internal organs, but he did not think so, and devoted himself to finding the heads of the dead soldiers, removing their masks one by one.

Su Yan endured the nausea, and recognized the origin of these people after just two steps......

The dead soldier of Rong Guo!

Those imprints, as well as the iron ring of the nose, are unique to Rongguo's Kyoto 'Wakasui'!

It seems that he really came for himself, but who would kill him? She couldn't help but think of the princess in Ruoshui's palace, her childhood memories were like turning over the river and the sea, she couldn't tolerate her mother, and she couldn't tolerate herself......

Zuo Qing stared at the brand on the dead man's face, frowned, and said, "It seems that they came prepared!" ”

"Them?" Su Yan woke up from his memories and was afraid when he heard Zuo Qing's words, "What did you find?" ”

"It's coming for me, if someone in the water city wants to kill me!"

"Kill you?"

"It's nothing more than two factions, Murphy's opponent, or ...... He. ”

Su Yan was confused when he heard it: "What's the matter with Mo Fei?" ”

Zuo Qing raised his head, stared at her from afar, and said, "I am Mo Fei Yizi, and I am also the deputy head of the Seven Senses Academy. ”

"Murphy Yoshiko?"

In Su Yan's memory, he had a deep impression of Mo Fei, Ruoshui Quanchen, the red man next to the emperor, had the blood of many loyal ministers on his hands...... He turned out to be Murphy's adopted son!

Su Yan seemed to be hit by five thunderbolts, and his limbs were weak.

"It's not intentional to hide it, it's just that you're alone, far away from Ruoshui, it's better to have more than one thing." Zuo Qing got up slowly, his thin figure stood in the sea of corpses and blood, like an executioner!

Su Yan has never been so afraid as she is today, the person in front of her has saved her life, she thought that she could exchange her true hearts and become a close friend, but she didn't expect to lie to her the deepest in the end!

"You are Murphy's adopted son, and you are a ...... like him"

"It's different!" Zuo Qing hurriedly explained: "The capital is deep, and it is difficult to survive if I don't rely on it, I'm just trying to live." ”

But how could the people under Mo Fei's hands be a bodhisattva of compassion? Su Yan naturally didn't believe it.

Zuo Qing knew that he couldn't convince her no matter what he said, so he tore off the token on the corpse and threw it beside Su Yan.

"Token of the Praetorian Guard. The one who wanted to kill me was General Zuo in the palace, Mo Fei's nephew, and Ge Yiyan. He didn't see me as a thorn in his side for a day. ”

Su Yan glanced at the mutilated token at his feet, he did belong to the Praetorian Guard, but why did Ge Yiyan kill his own people?

"Ge Yiyan targeted me everywhere, and even assassinated him secretly, because I never killed a person for Murphy, and I never accepted him when he sent boxes of gold treasures obtained from corruption, he thought that I had two hearts, but Murphy was like my own child, so he was jealous and hated!"

"You can obviously leave," Su Yan interrupted him coldly: "But you don't, you are like those people, greedy for glory and wealth, and would rather be a traitor's subordinate dog!" ”

Zuo Qing sighed slightly: "Ruoshui, it's a Shura hell, one foot into it, how can I leave if I want to, but I have never done anything that hurts heaven and reason!" I have no choice but to stay in that position, and I have something unspeakable. ”

"What's so hard to say?"

Zuo Qing was suddenly silent, just looking at her with a painful face.

"Doesn't seem to be the time?"

He nodded slightly.

"Can I trust you?"

"Yes!"

The corners of Su Yan's mouth rose, kicked away the token, turned around and jumped into the carriage, leaned against the door, and said to him: "I think I have known you for so long, I shouldn't have looked at the wrong person, your nature should not be bad...... But we are all different paths, not the same kind of people. After you go back, you go back to your Ruoshui by yourself, and we will not see each other. This time, I will take you on the last journey. ”

The way back was long, but it was too short for Zuo Qing.
