The Gobi steppe in the northwest, in this vast grassland and the Gobi desert, there are many caravans to the Western Regions, which also derived the thieves who make a living by robbing caravans, the Gobi steppe is not more than the hills and forests, a horse and a flat river, there is no hiding place, if you only rely on your feet, you can see it from a distance, and people will run away, so the thieves who can gallop in the Gobi steppe are equipped with excellent horses, like cavalry, and get the title of a horse thief.

Although the horse thieves in the northwest are not as good as the pirates of the East China Sea, which were once rampant, they should not be underestimated, and there are quite a few masters, as well as many people who can't get along in the rivers and lakes of the Central Plains. The reason why Ning Yi and Li Xuan were able to move the rivers and lakes back then was because they each did a great thing, Li Xuan was one person and one sword to pick the heroes of Heshuo, and Ning Yi was killing in the Gobi in the northwest, indiscriminately, and for no reason, he died when they met.

Li Xuandu's old past and not to say, Ning Yi's move naturally attracted a big counterattack by the horse thieves, the twenty-eight horse thieves held a meeting on the shore of the blue sea in the depths of the grassland, elected an alliance leader, and then gathered the best of the many horse thieves to besiege Ning Yi together, but Ning Yi slaughtered most of these horse thieves with his own strength, and the rest of the people scattered and fled.

Ning Yi traveled all over the Gobi in the northwest steppe, killing people from the beginning of the scene, killing bloody, a small group of horse thieves were directly wiped out, and a large number of horse thieves were greatly injured, and fled to the grasslands in the territory of the Golden Horde, and even for a while, the horse thieves disappeared, so that the passing merchants thought that they were protected by the gods. Ning Yi likes to chase and kill horse thieves on a moonlit night, and once a Confucian scholar who traveled in the border was fortunate enough to witness this scene and praised: "In the moonlight and shadow, there is red rain spraying people fishy. In the murderous aura, people's heads rolled to the ground. ”

Hence the name "Blood Knife".

Later, Ning Yi's sanity gradually recovered, and he no longer killed people at will, and the horse thieves also completely softened Ning Yi, and paid tribute to Ning Yi every month, until Ning Yi was invited to become the great guest of the Maiden Sect.

Now Ning Yi left the Lady Sect, and was ordered by Li Xuandu to go to Xijing to see Zhang Luanshan, and then returned to the Northwest Gobi by the way, and recollected the horse thieves who were obedient to him back then.

At this time, Ning Yi was standing on a section of the ruined city wall overgrown with wild grass, and under this section of the city wall, a large number of fierce-looking men gathered, all of whom were armed with knives, and some were even equipped with bows and arrows, hanging on the back of the horse beside him. It's just that when these people look at the man who is full of books at the head of the city, there is an unconcealed fear in the depths of their eyes.

Ning Yi seemed to be thinking about something, and stood still. After a while, he slowly came back to his senses and found that he was still in the Gobi, not the Seven Treasures, which were as gorgeous as the heavenly palace

Palace.

He looked down at the talisman he held in his palm, the talisman was golden and white, and it painted a city, located in the west. Then I saw that this talisman dissolved little by little, quickly faded, until it was gone, and seemed to merge into the flesh and blood.

Ning Yi turned his gaze to the group of horse thieves at his feet.

All the horse thieves bowed their heads, and none of them dared to look directly at the Gobi horse thief co-master, let alone make any eye contact with him.

Ning Yi slowly spoke: "Go to Liangzhou." ”

A large number of horse thieves turned their horses, turned their horses' heads, and headed northwest.

Ning Yi jumped up, flew up from the city, and then landed on an empty black horse, surrounded by many horse thieves, like stars holding the moon.

There is also a middle-aged man beside Ning Yi, not like a horse thief, but like a bookkeeper in the yamen, wearing a square scarf and a long beard, he is the only person in this group of horse thieves who is qualified to know the existence of the inn, and he is also the first "buddy" developed by Ning Yi.

The horse thief soldier asked softly, "Big boss, but what's wrong?"

Ning Yi said indifferently: "This is the shopkeeper's order." ”

The horse thief was shocked, he had long known about the existence of a shopkeeper, but he really couldn't imagine who the shopkeeper who could make the famous "Blood Knife" willing to use it, so he regarded this shopkeeper hidden behind the scenes as a fairy-like figure, and he didn't dare to despise it at all.

Ning Yi sighed softly, glanced at the direction of Qinzhou behind him, and still explained: "Great changes are coming from the north, the farther away the better." ”

......

Xiaozhou, Taoyuan County.

There is a peach blossom building in this county. Although this peach blossom building is called the building, in fact, there are many independent cross-courtyards around the main building, and the overall area is quite large. There are eight large courtyards, dozens of small courtyards, and winding paths are secluded. With a radius of 300 miles, this is the premier courtyard.

This used to be a stronghold secretly set up by the Xuannu Sect under the nose of the Xuannu Sect, and it has been in business for many years, but now it has changed its owner.

The new owner is called Shi Wuyue. However, Shi Wuyue did not personally come forward to manage this place, but handed it over to Han Yue.

In fact, Shi Wuyue didn't like this place very much, just as a place to settle down and live temporarily. Because the fat powder in this place tastes so strong. Of course, the "taste" here does not mean the smell of the nose or the taste of the tongue, but a feeling, like a barracks of a hundred battle armies, no matter how it is cleaned and cleaned, as long as the person is still there, it cannot erase the smell of slaughter soaked in the bones.

Although Shi Wuyue had an entanglement with Song Zheng, she was essentially a woman from the Xuannu Sect, and she attached great importance to chastity, and there was only one man in this life, Song Zheng

, naturally disgusted with such a land of wind and moon fireworks.

In a small courtyard in the depths of the Peach Blossom Building, there is a pavilion that is extremely gorgeous, in the eyes of the people of the Peach Blossom Building, it is simply a fairyland on earth, but it is not open to outsiders, because this is the residence of Mrs. Leng when she was here, and now it is naturally returned to Shi Wuyue.

On the second floor of this small building was a huge room that had been opened up as a whole, and the floor was covered with lichens, and on top of the lichens was many splendid silks, which should have been worn on the body, but at this time they were trampled on. The deepest part is separated by a gold lady screen and a jade bead curtain, in which a chaise longue is placed, and at this time, Shi Wuyue, who is barefoot, leans on the chaise longue, supporting her forehead with her hands, as if she is pretending to sleep.

After a while, Shi Wuyue slowly opened her eyes, as if she was a little dazed, and after blinking, she sat up and stretched out, revealing her beautiful curves.

She looked down at the dark rune in her palm, which also had a city painted on it, and then the rune gradually blurred, and finally "sank" into her palm and disappeared.

Shi Wuyue's eyes flowed, the corners of his mouth turned up a little, and he didn't care about the wound on his ankle, he stood up directly, his feet on the satin, and his steps were light.

"Qingwei Sect plus Taiping Sect is equal to Qingping Sect, no one knows how to choose names better than me. ”

"In the future, the Qingping Sect was established, and I was one of the five city lords, and I was qualified to attend the patriarch's hall and worship the disciples. Although I had such a status in the Xuannu Sect back then, how could the Qingping Sect be comparable to the Xuannu Sect?"

"Among the righteous paths, the only ones who can be the opponents of the Qingping Sect are the Zhengyi Sect and the Qingwei Sect, and the other sects are all servants. Shi Wuyue imitated Song Zheng's tone back then, stretched out a palm, and closed his five fingers: "All the rivers and lakes are in your hands." ”

Shi Wuyue was in a good mood today, it was rare to think of Song Zheng but she didn't lose control of her emotions, humming lightly the minor tune she learned when she was a fairy of the Xuannu Sect, reaching out to lift the skirt, revealing the dazzling wound on her snow-white ankle, her body was as light as a butterfly, and she danced the ancient dance "Cloud Gate" that was destined to be watched by no one.

After the dance, Shi Wuyue saluted the air around her, but the smile on her face gradually disappeared, and she snorted lightly: "Song Zheng, Song Zheng, how can you die so easily, you must be hidden in that corner, you must not be found by me, otherwise I must cramp and skin you, ask you, why do you bear me! But before that, I still have some other debts to collect." ”

Thinking of this, Shi Wuyue raised her voice and said outside, "Qing'er." ”

After a short while, Lu Qing climbed to the second floor and asked, "Master, what do you command?"

Shi Wuyue said: "Pass my order, gather people, and prepare to leave for Shuangqing Mansion." ”
