Volume 1 Dead Leaves Return to the Dust Chapter 121 Murder by Order
"Senior sister, be merciful. ”
Shangguan Xuanqing walked out of the woods not far away, bowed his hand, and the seven stars disappeared together, and the flying sword that came out of the trap no longer attacked Ye Ku, and the sword momentum turned, and it hung beside Xun Mei again in the blink of an eye.
"Sang Xuan?" Xun Mei was about to draw her sword, but she was stunned when she saw the comer, she looked back and forth a few times between Ye Ku, who had stopped, and Sang Xuan, who was walking slowly, before she vaguely came back to her senses.
Shangguan Xuanqing's face was calm for half of his face, and he said, "If Senior Sister Xun wants to, you can also call me Xuanqing." ”
The ice and snow fell behind Xun Mei, the vision had stopped, and a thin layer of hoarfrost was covered with the surrounding emerald green, "Xuanqing, what's the matter with the two of you? Ye Ku is here to find you on the peak? You two ......?"
"Senior sister," Shangguan Xuanqing called lightly, interrupted Xun Mei's words, and said, "I don't know who he came to the Little Thumb Peak for, but I guess he didn't have any bad intentions, and I didn't hear any sister on the peak say that he was harassed." ”
Ye Ku was still concerned when he heard her first half of the sentence, and when he heard it, he only nodded yes.
Xun Mei pondered for a moment, then looked Ye Ku up and down for a while, and the latter felt uncomfortable, so she said: "Xuanqing, you said so, naturally I won't stop him anymore, just let him go." ”
"Then thank you, senior sister. After Shangguan Xuanqing finished speaking, he wanted to leave with Ye Ku, but was called by Xun Mei.
Ye Ku was puzzled in his heart, and he turned around to take a closer look.
"Khooth!"
The sky blue sword scabbard was hanging in front of Ye Ku's eyes at some point, and the cold air above the ice blue sword shadow made the tips of his hair form ice edges, and he hung down tremblingly, dripping on his face, and a little bit of chill moistened into his heart.
"I don't look at or listen. Ye Ku shook his head, and he stepped out of the little thumb peak.
He sat on top of the clouds, the wind blew on his white clothes, his hair was dyed with snow, fluttering like a fairy, and not long after, Shangguan Xuanqing also walked out of the clouds and mist, sitting next to Ye Ku.
The two of them rode back to the peaks of the east and west courtyards together, although they did not return for one night, but in the end, the people were all gone, the house was empty, and the whole mountain peak seemed to have lost its previous aura, and there was a strange feeling for a while.
"Ever since I moved into Little Thumb Peak, I've always felt uneasy, and I don't know why. The two of them landed on the top of the peak, and they were not in a hurry to go anywhere, Shangguan Xuanqing did not look at Ye Ku, only stared at the scenery outside the peak.
The clouds are curling, the auspicious clouds are floating, the morning light shines on the void, and the golden scales are turned out in the sea of clouds, which are dazzling and magnificent.
It is an old-fashioned and rigid fairy scene, and there is nothing strange in the eyes, but who would have thought that this is a whitewashed impeccable peace?
Ye Ku still remembered the last time the two of them stood side by side here to watch the scenery, it was night, and the position they stood was half an inch on the left, it was too dark at night, and there was no trace of starlight.
He said: "The Xingyan Xuanguan Method does not focus on defeating the enemy, and the kung fu of killing is secondary, but for the snooping of the heavenly machine, the occasional whim, it is better to pay attention to it." ”
Shangguan Xuanqing nodded, as if she noticed Ye Ku's gaze, she tilted her head half an inch again, and said, "Jiang Li's slap will directly wipe out her sister's life." ”
Ye Ku snorted, disapproving.
"You're not worried about her?" Without waiting for the expected question, Shangguan Xuanqing turned around and met Ye Ku's eyes with one eye, a little puzzled.
Ye Ku pretended to be surprised and asked, "Which one is she?"
Shangguan Xuanqing smiled, but half of this smile was covered by star-dyed hair, "All of her." ”
There are patrol disciples in the sea of clouds who ride the big leaves, Ye Ku glanced at them, and said with a stroll: "Jiang Li's white fox is certainly lovely, but I won't fight the moon in the water to the end for her, give up Cangxia Yimu roll and don't save a white fox, Su Qingqing is a pity, she was planted by Jiang Li, maybe she has already fallen into the hands of the moon in the water, with her, or their temperament, the end is not expected to be much better." ”
"You're so ruthless," the more Shangguan Xuanqing listened, the more cold his face became, and the little smile on the corner of his mouth was completely smoothed out, "Presumably the figure in that hairpin is Jiang Li, Jiang Li's cause and effect, how innocent is she, to suffer from this?"
Ye Ku couldn't help but smile and said, "Xuanqing, you don't know, Jiang Li, the fox ghost, can only believe half of it, think about it carefully, how many of her ten tears are true, and how many of her ten sentences are false?"
He didn't want to educate Shangguan Xuanqing about anything, his words were half-joking.
Shangguan Xuanqing didn't have the heart to talk about this matter, she would not argue with Ye Ku for the sake of others. Having said that, in fact, what is the fate of Jiang Lijiang and Su Qingqing's generation, and what does it have to do with her?
"If one day, I mean, if I'm in crisis over there in Shangyu, will you save me?" Shangguan Xuanqing asked for no reason.
Ye Ku felt a faint feeling in his heart, and suddenly he said, "You want to go back to Shangyu?"
Shangguan Xuanqing was stunned for a moment, and said curiously: "Shouldn't it? This is a matter of time or time, and my home is over there." ”
Ye Ku also felt that he had just gone too far, and he didn't allow anyone to go home, so he coughed his throat and said, "How could it not be." You go back to Shangyu, with your father and queen mother and that old ancestor protecting you in the ancient Xia Imperial City, where will you encounter any danger?"
Although I don't know why half of Shangguan Xuanqing's face was ruined, I have never heard of any parents in the world who would dislike the appearance of their children, and the family affection will not decrease, but will be cherished a hundred times more than usual.
Shangguan Xuanqing only stared at him directly, and didn't speak, as if he wanted to see Ye Ku through, and then dig out the answer himself.
Ye Ku didn't know why, for a while, his heart suddenly became empty, and he hurriedly turned his face not to look at the person who was close at hand, his actions were inevitably a little hasty, like a mouse that was found stealing a candlestick.
"Yes. ”
In the end, Ye Ku said a word heavily.
Shangguan Xuanqing seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, raised his hand to brush away a strand of hair that was blown down by the wind and blocked his eyes, and said, "This time the Guling Sect is in a big competition, and someone from my family will also come to watch the battle." ”
Ye Ku smiled: "It's a good thing, sooner or later, we have to meet each other." ”
Shangguan Xuanqing didn't regard this as a good thing like Ye Wei, and sighed: "Most of the people who came were from my mother's side, I was too young to see any clues before, but now that I think about it, she doesn't approve of the matter between us." ”
Ye Ku didn't care and said, "So what? Your father and Shangguan Ming have made a decision, what's the use of her disapproval?"
Shangguan Xuanqing glared at Ye Ku, as if to blame him for not opening up, and said: "You don't understand, my queen mother is fine, but the people of the Xia family want to be crazy, and it is not an exaggeration to say that they are unscrupulous." ”
Ye Ku laughed and said: "I'm not afraid, what are you afraid of, are you still worried that your seven aunts and eight aunts will slap me to death, and I won't be able to go to Shangyu to marry you?"
Shangguan Xuanqing didn't owe any enthusiasm at all, and said angrily: "So it seems that it's better to slap you to death." ”
Ye Ku smiled and said, "Don't worry, even if I really die and go to the underworld, I will bring back 100,000 ghost generals and take you over." ”
Xu was amused by Ye Ku's sworn appearance, Shangguan Xuanqing released half of his jade face, and said with a smile: "I don't want to die." ”
The clouds are half-hidden, and it is lovely.
Ye Ku seemed to suddenly think of something, and said curiously: "Your face, can you still be cured?"
Shangguan Xuanqing was like a ball that had been pricked by a needle, and said in frustration: "Yes." ”
——————
Guxia is divided into five regions, and there is only one city in the middle region.
Shangyu, the upper is full of stars, the supreme is above, and Yu is expected to worry, and there is below.
Xu felt that it was too tacky to walk the dragon and fly the phoenix, and the Shangguan family who ascended to the extreme position of the world did not take the dragon and phoenix pictogram, and in the eyes of the monks, the dragon and the phoenix were just ordinary things, and there was no mystery and majesty at all.
The dynasty dominated by monks sought to rule by vertical arches, and few of the previous Xia emperors were diligent in government affairs, unless it was a last resort, they would come forward to discuss with His Royal Highness's ministers.
The ministers are divided into civil and military affairs, and most of the civil ministers are born in scientific examinations, and there are few inspections, but the power has not been able to overpower the generals, after all, only when the talent is not enough to practice, they will turn to the cultivation of literature, in order to seek gold and jade articles, and make up for the heavens.
It's just that most of the time these generals are too lazy to compete with the ministers for fame and profit, after all, they can't compete with a bunch of mortals for immortal fame, and they can't win the Dao Li, unless Emperor Xia comes in person, there are even few generals who go to the court to discuss matters on weekdays, and it is too boring to watch a group of literati talk and sword, and it wastes the time that can be used for practice.
It's just that the mansions of Wenchen and military generals are not so distinct, or Shangyu Zhong does not pay much attention to the difference between high and low power, in a certain alley, which doctor's mansion is on this side, which general's mansion is on the other side, and then it may be the mansion of a monastic family, it is not easy to say.
The buildings of Shangyu are scattered, orderly in chaos, but how this is scattered, where is its "cause", chaos is seen, and what should be explained by "order", no one has been able to say clearly.
Maybe someone can, but everyone who has this ability is dead, so it can be said that no one can solve this mystery.
The sound of the beast's hooves roared like thunder through the streets and alleys of Shangyu, smashing the ground into a sensation.
Many of them stopped what they were doing, and looked at the group of strict iron armor with horror on their faces. The people at the feet of the Son of Heaven are inevitably a little arrogant, hacked to death and can talk and laugh with people from other places, but they always don't look down on these rural villagers in their bones, and this arrogance comes from the four words of being well-informed.
The mortals in the city were vaguely aware of the existence of the monk, so they were not very frightened by the arrogant, burly and majestic brute beast that took the lead, but the young man in red robe and armor standing on the beast provoked a cry of surprise.
Dozens of strict armor soldiers out of the city, the speed increased again, and after a short time they surrounded a line of cars, this train Wu was originally a caravan, and it was also one of the best in Shangyu, the leading steward was sweating profusely, looking frightened, and was about to come forward to salute, but in the blink of an eye, he saw the cold light of the blade.
The usually prestigious steward knelt on the ground, kowtowing desperately, unable to say a word of begging for mercy.
The young man above the brute beast looked indifferent, and said lightly:
"Kill people by order. ”
In just a moment, the red blood flowed all over the ground.
