Book 1, The King's Decree Chapter 4, There is nothing outside the body

Tonight's night is the same as ten years ago, holding the door with his hand, Liu Xiaoyi's expression is solemn, and he wants to move his body again, but he finds that he does not obey the call.

Next to the well in the middle of the courtyard, stood Xia Liang, who was holding a sword, his sword flashed in the dark night, and there were dozens of visitors squatting or standing on the beams of the surrounding houses, all holding swords and soldiers in their hands.

As if standing against the door, it was still the frightened doll, looking at Xia Liang's back, and suddenly moved.

The blade of the sword flipped with the wrist, bringing up a fluffy ice mist, and in the bright moonlight, the sword moves seemed to be dancing, and the dance partners dancing around were injured at the touch, and the wounds caused by the frost were sealed by ice crystals, freezing the true qi in the body along the meridians.

By the time the sword was sheathed, there was no one standing in the courtyard. Liu Xiaoyi breathed a long sigh of relief, and just wanted to speak, but suddenly felt a cold hair stand on end, and subconsciously held the iron sword at his waist.

The Tianshuang sword, which is famous in the rivers and lakes, was cut out of a gap before it was pulled out for three points, Xia Liang's feet regressed again and again, and every time he wanted to draw the sword, there was a piece of sword that was just right against the vital point, so that he couldn't be separated.

Unconsciously leaned his back against the wall of the side room, hard and cold, so that Xia Liang could not retreat, and squatted down at the moment when the sword attacked, rolled forward and hugged the other party with both hands, gave up drawing the sword, and waved his fist on the masked face.

But this body didn't respond, and the touch that came made Xia Liang get up and jump back, only to find that a sword had pierced the back of the heart.

"Puppetry! is it a member of the Holy Monarch's Palace?" the sword body was drawn from his chest, bringing out a large canopy of blood, and fell to the ground with a thud.

The person behind him took off the mask, and he was a middle-aged man about thirty years old, with no eyebrows on the left, a round face and a big nose, and he hummed when he spoke: "Hmph, dignified Tianshuang swordsman, but that's it." What about the king's order, tell me, leave your whole corpse. ”

Liu Xiaoyi felt cold all over, and unconsciously walked to the courtyard with the iron sword.

The puppet on the ground, with the control of the middle-aged man's fingers, stood up again, a little taller than ordinary people, holding a sharp sword, walked in front of Liu Xiaoyi, and raised his right arm without any fancy sword.

Liu Xiaoyi raised his hand to block it, took half a step back, and felt numb and crispy in the tiger's mouth.

"Tsk!Xia Liang, this kid is good, your apprentice?" The puppet master was speechless, the puppet was another sword, and it was blocked again, this time Liu Xiaoyi did not retreat, gritted his teeth and resisted the strength.

Xia Liang struggled to raise his hand, pinching a crystal clear water drop between his hands and bouncing it towards Liu Xiaoyi. The water droplets shattered in the wind, and the entire courtyard was filled with cold, and the white mist obstructed all vision.

At the last moment, Liu Xiaoyi saw Xia Liang's colorless eyes, which were mixed with very complicated emotions, and tears still fell after all.

Enduring some numbness in their legs, the two rolled back into the room, grabbed the wooden box on top of the cupboard, and plunged headlong into the dug tunnel.

This tunnel was dug by Xia Liang, and it was originally a channel for him to smuggle goods.

The direction of the tunnel is under the soil slope outside Linshan Town, and some sheep herders wander here on weekdays, and when Liu Xiaoyi has nothing to do, he always likes to go out of the town along the tunnel.

I didn't think that today would come in handy, panting for heavy breath, I ran through the narrow tunnel, until I saw the bright moon hanging high again, then I collapsed and lay on my back on the dirt slope.

The stinging pain in his back was from being injured by the puppeteer in the white mist, and the wound was not deep.

"I'm going to escape, I can't die, I can't die!"

After a night of running, blood flowed from the wound on his back, and as he ran, the blood seeped through the thin clothes.

The puppeteer in the courtyard roared angrily, he didn't expect that the key to the matter was actually a teenager, Linshan Town, inside and out, well-arranged, but it was destroyed by a tunnel.

This place is not far from Sanshan City, since the appearance of the king's order ten years ago, it has become an important place for the government, and the Holy Monarch's Hall is so strong as a party that it has to avoid the edge for the time being.

When he heard the sound in his ears again, Liu Xiaoyi grabbed his sword and danced wildly, causing a burst of exclamation: "What are you doing!

The voice was a very pleasant female voice, and looking at the voice, there was a girl about seventeen or eighteen years old, who was holding a bowl of steaming soup, and looked at him with some disgust.

Looking around, the living woman's boudoir, next to the bed is a changed and bloody shirt, with a bandage on her back, and a fine white gauze wraps the wound medicine and wraps it around the wound.

Fang Cai recalled that at dawn, he was exhausted and unconscious in nowhere, and he should have been rescued depending on the situation.

Seeing that Liu Xiaoyi's mood gradually calmed down, the girl walked in and handed him the decoction: "My young lady met you on the side of the road early yesterday morning, and you were chased and killed at a young age, what is the reason?"

Liu Xiaoyi didn't answer, picked up the black pottery bowl and put it close to his mouth, the rich medicinal fragrance was refreshing, and after drinking it, the hot burning sensation went all the way down his throat, and he suddenly felt a lot of energy.

"Let me ask you, Miss should have been in Dongdi today because you delayed your trip. The girl complained, and at first glance she was the maid of a large family, which was not found in Linshan Town.

This place is not Linshan Town, is it Sanshan City? The blue sky and white clouds outside the window are a little too quiet, how can there be such a place in the big city.

"Are you a little stupid? Look at you are a shrewd boy, don't you hurt your head?"

"Where is this place, and who are you?"

The girl breathed a sigh of relief, her own lady got up early yesterday and wanted to go to the river to collect some paints for painting, but she met a young man who fell in the woods by the river, and thought that Bai had saved an idiot. "This place is Jingqi City, and I am the personal maid of the eldest lady. ”

"Xiaoling, don't make a noise, don't make noise for others to rest. As he spoke, another crisp voice came from outside the door, and a snow-white haired girl walked in, eating bright red strawberries in her mouth.

The maid beside the bed heard the voice, hurriedly stood up, and pushed the girl closer with both hands: "This is my eldest lady, save your life." ”

With snow-white hair and even her eyebrows, the girl ate the strawberry and smiled at Liu Xiaoyi: "My name is Xue Yi, what is your name?"

"Liu Xiaoyi. He was a little speechless, he had never seen such beautiful facial features - curved willow eyebrows, a just right tear mole in the corner of his left eye, and some childish baby fat, the sound from his rosy lips was very good.

was a little stunned for a while, but the maid pushed him: "It's rude to stare at a girl like this, do you understand?"

Liu Xiaoyi's face flushed, and he hurriedly let his eyes flow, and his embarrassed performance made the two girls smile even more.
