There is an ancient poem: "The mountain stream is still in the shade of the bamboo." ”

One hundred miles away from the northwest of Luoyang, there is a valley, called: Lingqiu. The Weishui tributary passes through the Lingqiu Valley and turns into a fairyland on earth, which is the "Lingqiu Mountain Stream".

The mountains on both sides of the mountain stream are steep and steep, the dense forest is deep, the plum is white and pink, and the willows are charming and beautiful. There is no road in the valley, and the local people often come and go here, so they walk out of a gravel path. The path follows the stream, winding and rugged, surrounded by mountains and waters, and the peaks and loops turn.

Lingqiu Mountain Stream is not the only way to go north to Yanmen, but it is a shortcut road. If you go around the mountain, you will have to travel at least two more days.

Since the Mongols conquered the Jin Kingdom, the Mongolian court built a kilometer plank road in the Lingqiu mountain stream. Because of this, Liu Xunyi and Xun Qin both guessed the intention of the Mongols, which was to enable this shortcut to facilitate the future south to attack the Song Dynasty and transport troops and send grain.

Therefore, as a Mongolian Chagan party, they will choose Lingqiu Mountain Stream to pass when they travel from south to north.

At three o'clock, the sun sets in the west, and the sky fades out of layers of red sunset.

On the mountain on the east side of the mountain stream, Liu Xunyi, dressed in black and wearing a black scarf, lurked motionless behind a towering tree, hiding here under the cover of dense branches and leaves.

Liu Xunyi's location is only a few dozen meters away from the mountain stream plank road, but due to the dense mountains and forests, and the sky is getting dark, so that the merchants walking on the plank road can't notice his existence at all.

Next to Liu Xunyi, there was a sword and a strong bow. His strategy was to ambush a wave with a bow and arrow, and then show up in person to wipe out the remnants.

Due to the large number of people accompanying Chagan, Liu Xunyi was worried that he would appear rashly, and he might miss the net. His purpose was to intercept and kill the Chagan group, and none of them remained. He only wanted to make the Mongols suspicious, but he could not leave any real evidence.

Liu Xunyi's purpose was to make the Mongols give up continuing to win over the Xianwang Mansion because of the death of Chagan and his party. But he can't be discovered, so as not to expose his identity and bring disaster to the Xian Wangfu in the future.

During the day, there are more pedestrians coming and going to Lingqiu Mountain Stream, but as the sun sets and the sky is dark, there are fewer and fewer pedestrians on the mountain stream plank road. At this time, Jin Wuxi fell, and the plank road was already empty, and even a ghost could not be found.

Liu Xunyi, who has been on an errand in Tianji Pavilion for many years, is very good at this kind of lurking that does not move and waits for an opportunity. At noon, he hurried out of the city and hurried to the Lingqiu mountain stream. At this point, he had been lying under the tree for a full hour, but he had not moved.

At this time, there was silence in the mountain stream, and even the spring water flowing through and the birds chirping in the forest gradually quieted down at some point.

Quiet, as silent as death.

Suddenly, the sound of unhurried horses' hooves and the "creaking" of wheels pressing against the plank road slowly sounded from the valley.

Liu Xunyi's spirit was shocked, and a pair of dark eyes suddenly burst into a ruthless color. He stared intently at the south of the plank road. A moment later, a convoy turned out of the mountain and quietly appeared in Liu Xunyi's field of vision.

There were a total of three carriages in front and back, and Liu Xunyi recognized these frames, as well as the guards who drove the car, which were Chagan and his party who appeared in King Xian's mansion yesterday.

"Brother Su, I know that they are in the same door as you, but the current situation is critical, please forgive the little brother for being rude!" Liu Xunyi repeatedly silently thought in his heart. His guilt was directed at Su He, after all, when he was in the Western Regions, Su He had saved his life.

Looking at the approaching convoy, Liu Xunyi quietly drew his bow with an arrow, and the arrow pointed directly at the second carriage. Through the curtain of the car, the looming short figure was none other than Cha Gan.

Ready to go. At this moment, Liu Xunyi's heart was like stopping water, holding his breath and concentrating, vowing to make sure that the arrow was not missing.

"Whew!"

"Who ......?"

"Poof!"

Without waiting for Liu Xunyi to release his arrows, on the opposite hill, a black shadow suddenly flew out. Before the guards in the first carriage could find out, the black shadow had already drawn its sword from its sheath and slashed the guard's throat with a single sword, killing him instantly.

"It's ...... Celestial Sword?" Liu Xunyi looked surprised, and secretly exclaimed, "That person is Qin Ku, how could he be here?"

"Where do you go from the Tartar?"

In the mountain stream, Qin Ku had already killed two people with one sword. Then he walked like a snake, marching like a Jiao, slashing left and right, and the light of the knife flashed.

With a knife fell, the reins of the first carriage were broken, and the horses fled in panic.

Qin Ku flew up when he got up, kicked his feet in the air with great force, and kicked on the carriage several times. The carriage of the first carriage suddenly flew sideways, and finally smashed down on the plank road, blocking the way of the two carriages behind it.

"Dare to stop our carriage, I think you're tired of it!"

With an angry curse, a person suddenly flew out of the third carriage, it was Battle. He held a scimitar in his hand, stepped a few steps in mid-air with his feet, and instantly killed in front of Qin Ku, without saying a word, he slashed with a swing of the knife.

"Looks like you're the stunned guy?"

Qin Ku smiled playfully, and his body flew out upside down. At the same time, he killed two Mongolian guards who were trying to get out of the carriage.

"Where to run?"

Seeing that Qin Ku didn't fight with him, Battle was furious, and after landing on the ground, his body turned around, and he quickly chased after him.

"I am ordered by the Lord of Luo Mansion to come and take your head!"

Qin Ku's body method was extremely fast, he was laughing and provoking, and at the same time, he came and went freely in the three horse workshops, walking like the wind, and between flashing and moving, he had already cut down several guards in a row.

As soon as these words came out, Liu Xunyi on the east side of the mountain was suddenly shocked, and an indescribable look of surprise instantly poured into his eyes.

"Lord Luofu?" Cha Gan, who broke through the carriage and flew into the sky, had a thick sense of horror on his face, and asked, "Are you talking about Luo Tianjin?"

"Anyway, you and the others are all mortal people, so it doesn't hurt to tell you!" Qin Ku laughed wildly, "In the world, except for the Lord of the Luo Mansion in the Xianwang Mansion, who else dares to call himself the Lord of the Luo Mansion? The Lord of the Mansion said, you Tartars have bad intentions and plot against my Great Song Dynasty, so I will kill you first today and remove a few scourges for the Great Song Dynasty." ”

"Impossible!" Cha Gan's eyes were uncertain, and he said angrily in disbelief, "Luo Tianjin has obviously promised us, how can he ......?"

"If I don't promise you, how can you take it lightly?" Qin Ku told Xun Qin what Xun Qin had taught him in advance, "Lord Luo said that only by taking him by surprise can he cut the grass and eradicate the roots! Do you remember Wang Xutong? That's how he died! Haha......

Hearing this, Liu Xunyi was taken aback again, and thought to himself: "How could Qin Ku know that Wang Xutong's death is related to the Xianwang Mansion? What is going on?" Liu Xunyi became more and more confused the more he thought about it, but now he didn't dare to make a rash move, so he could only continue to hide in the dark and wait for the changes.

"Luo Tianjin!"

In a hurry, Cha Gan didn't have time to think about it. He gritted his teeth and raised his sword to the sky, and shouted: "We treat you sincerely, but we didn't expect that you, a dog thief, would take revenge! You despicable and shameless hypocrite, we will come to the city sooner or later and set foot in the Xianwang Palace!"

"It's a pity, you'll never see it again!"

Before the words fell, Qin Ku had already swept in front of him. Cha Gan was angry and annoyed, sad and angry, he could only rush to the battle for a while, his martial arts were already inferior to Qin Ku, and the incident happened suddenly, which made him feel distracted, so after the two fought for more than ten rounds, Cha Gan was cut off by Qin Ku with a knife and was completely defeated.

"Don't panic, I'll save you!"

Seeing that the situation was not good, Battle hurriedly rushed forward, wanting to sneak attack Qin Ku from behind, but unexpectedly, Qin Ku had already taken precautions, and swept out with a backhand, tearing all the robes in front of Battle's lower abdomen, and the blade also left a long blood mark on his stomach.

This move not only surprised Battle, but also surprised Qin Ku. secretly blamed himself for being too careless, and almost killed this kid with one sword.

At this moment, several Mongolian guards who rushed up left and right were killed by Qin Ku in turn. The level of his martial prowess was far beyond that of these Mongol guards.

"I fought with you......"

"No!"

Without waiting for the red-eyed Battle to strike again, Cha Gan suddenly made a move, hugged Qin Ku's right leg tightly, and shouted: "This person's martial arts are extremely high, and we are not his opponents." You take advantage of the moment to run, go back to Chifeng Ridge, and tell the Ridge Lord everything, saying that Luo Tianjin is a despicable villain, and the Ridge Lord must not be gullible......"

"Let go!"

Qin Ku pretended to be angry, and with a wave of the blade, he "clicked" and cut off Cha Gan's left arm. Heart-rending pain,. Ling Chagan screamed so hard that he almost fainted.

"I ......"

"Let's go! If we all die here, Luo Tianjin's treacherous plan will be completely successful...... You go quickly!, let's go!" Cha Gan seemed to go crazy, hugging Qin Ku's ankle with one arm, and biting Qin Ku's leg with his teeth.

Battle was grief-stricken, his red eyes overflowed with blood and tears, he glanced at Qin Ku viciously, gritted his teeth and said, "Go back and tell Luo Tianjin that he will definitely pay a terrible price for today's stupidity!"

With that, Battle ran towards the end of the boardwalk without looking back.

"Humph!"

Looking at Battle who was fleeing for his life in embarrassment, Qin Ku had no intention of pursuing, and the corners of his mouth even raised a smile of successful treacherous schemes. Seeing this, Cha Gan's heart sank, but before he could open his mouth to question, Qin Ku suddenly raised his hand and cut off Cha Gan's head in unison.

Seeing this scene, Liu Xunyi, who was hiding on the mountain, was surprised and didn't know what to say, he had clearly heard Qin Ku's words just now, and he clearly wanted to set up a blame. But Liu Xunyi couldn't figure out what Qin Ku's purpose was for doing this?

In a trance, Liu Xunyi's mind flashed, and as if he suddenly remembered something, he hurriedly took an arrow and drew a bow, pointing directly at Battle who was running farther and farther. He knew in his heart that until now, Battle must not stay alive anymore, otherwise the Xianwang Mansion will have endless troubles.

"Whoosh!"

The arrow is pointed, and there is no false hair.

A flash of black lightning pierced the sky, and the arrow struck Battle a hundred paces away with unmistakable accuracy. An arrow pierced the back of the heart and killed him instantly.

"Who?"

As soon as the arrow was shot, Qin Ku had instantly identified Liu Xunyi's location. He glanced at Battle, who had fallen to the ground, from a distance, and then let out a sigh of chagrin, and flew to his feet, leaping over the stream, and heading straight for the mountain to the east.

At this moment, Liu Xunyi didn't want to meet Qin Ku, so after shooting an arrow, he quickly turned around and fled. His legs and feet were still inconvenient, but the urgency of the situation did not allow him to hide too much, so he could only limp into the forest and disappear into a lush greenery.

As everyone knows, the back of his hurried escape has been hidden in Xun Qin on the opposite mountain, and he has a panoramic view.

Qin searched for people to no avail, and returned to the mountain stream plank road with some chagrin. At this moment, Xun Qin has been waiting here for a long time.

"I wanted to let Battle go back to report the news, but unexpectedly, he was still killed...... Qin Ku smiled helplessly, "Actually, I can't blame me ......for this."

"The knife spectrum you want!" Before Qin Ku finished speaking, Xun Qin had already handed him the remaining half of the 'Xuanshui Scroll', and said with a light smile, "I can see everything that happened just now, you did a good job." Halfway to kill a trip to bite the gold, this matter is also unexpected by me, no wonder you. ”

"Hey...... Sure enough, it is wise!" Qin Ku carefully put away half of the sword book as if he had obtained a treasure, and then grinned, "For the sake of your grievances, I don't want money for the other few lives, count them as my gifts." ”

Xun Qin nodded paradoxically, at this moment, she had been wondering in her heart who was the back just now, so she had no intention of chatting with Qin Ku.

"Did you know...... Who wanted to kill people just now?" Qin Ku asked with a winkled eyebrow, "What do you say is the real purpose of that person?" I don't believe that there will be such a coincidence in the world. ”

"Of course it can't be such a coincidence. Xun Qin chuckled, "Actually, it's not difficult to guess that that man's purpose is the same as ours, which is to intercept and kill these Mongols." Merely...... We have to keep our mouth alive and blame the Xian Wangfu. And that person's purpose is to kill them all......" As for this, Xun Qin's eyes suddenly lit up, and he nodded slowly thoughtfully, "In this way, it is not difficult to guess the identity of that person?"

"Who is it?"

Xun Qin took a deep look at Qin Ku, and said with a smile: "Your errand has been completed, and the 'Xuanshui Volume' has also arrived." From now on, we owe each other nothing and go our separate ways. ”

Qin Ku pursed his lips unwillingly, and complained to himself: "You are really ...... if you say the first half of the sentence, but you don't say the second half, you are really ."

Before Qin finished speaking, Xun Qin had already turned around and left.

Looking at her back, Qin Ku muttered a few words indignantly again, and then suddenly felt bored, reached into his arms, touched the hard-won 'Xuanshui Scroll', and once again raised a smug look on his face, and turned in the opposite direction to Xun Qin, jumping and walking away quickly.

Under the afterglow of the setting sun, between the green mountains and green waters, the two of them disappeared at the end of the mountain stream, one south and one north.

At this time, there was only one corpse left on the plank road. I believe that it will not be long before this matter will go with the wind and spread all over the country. At that time, everyone in the rivers and lakes will know about it, and at the same time, it will ...... Everyone is at risk.

......
