Chapter 17 The Night Tree
Mo Chen took Qin Luo and fled in the streets and alleys.
"Chase!" the man in black quickly caught up.
The two of them hid in a straw hut, where the straw was piled up, and they hid in the deepest crevices.
The men in black trained in an orderly manner and searched every room. When they came to the straw hut, it was not uncommon for Tibetans to be hidden in the straw, and they each stabbed their swords into the haystack, and they held their breath as they saw that they were about to hide.
On the side of the street, Sun Yingqian and Situ Hao stood behind the wall.
Situ Hao lowered his voice, "You said there is a way, what a way." “
Sun Yingqian coughed dryly, "Look at me." Then he shouted down the street, "They're here!"
Situ Hao was instantly shocked when he heard it!
Just... Who is talking? Is this eldest lady? But why did I hear Cao Bin's voice!
Inside the straw house, the man in black was walking towards Mo Chen, and the two were ready, and the battle was about to break out. Then they heard movement outside, and quickly withdrew and ran towards the place.
After a while, the two of them listened to the footsteps gradually fade away, and there was a trace of gasp.
Qin Luo peeked out the window to check, "There are two groups of people here, one wave should be the general's people, seeing that they are acting in a very orderly manner, they must all be officers and soldiers in the army, but there is another wave?"
"It's Cao Bin's people. Mo Chen had already seen through the person behind this.
Qin Luo sneered, "It seems that Gongzi Cao is very resentful." Both groups of people are aimed at you, so you have to be careful. “
At this time, Cao Bin led a wave of people to break into the small straw house.
He held his sword and said, "I have finally found it, beauty, see where you are running today." “
Immediately after making a gesture, the people behind him stepped forward one after another and ordered, "Kill the man for me, and leave the woman behind." “
"Yes!"
Mo Chen immediately dealt with them, although the space in this room was small, he could still perform light skills freely, and he had knocked several people unconscious. Qin Luo was also unceremonious, and directly turned around and kicked to the side, and they couldn't move.
Cao Bin wanted to take the opportunity to subdue Qin Luo forward so as to take advantage of it. Qin Luo jumped behind him and continued to fight with others, he said with a smile, "It's the first time I've seen such a beautiful woman with good martial arts, don't hide." “
Qin Luo is indeed avoiding him, because seeing that his status is not low, if he is injured, he will definitely find trouble for Mochen in the autumn. Thinking of this, she can only dodge and not cause a head-on conflict.
Mo Chen saw that this person had bad intentions, and stepped forward to knock him unconscious with a knife. He passed out and fell to the ground, motionless. Qin Luo finished cleaning up and looked there, "What's wrong with him?"
Mo Chen pretended to be ignorant, "I don't know, I fainted suddenly." “
Qin Luo was surprised, but it was a good thing that he fainted. She slowly pushed open the door and checked the neighborhood, "There is no one else now, let's go back to Haofu first." “
Mo Chen walked over, "I still want to take you somewhere." “
It's a rare opportunity to be alone, and he wants to do today's business.
"Where are you going?"
Mo Chen didn't answer, reached out and hugged her waist, swayed lightly, and went elsewhere.
On the other street, Sun Yingqian broke away from the group of people, extremely satisfied with her performance, and was complacent.
Situ Hao was dumbfounded, "You used to know ventriloquism, it really impressed me." “
"When I was idle in the teahouse, I was taught by a storyteller. Folk tricks, no wonder, you have never seen a prince. “
"But I still admire it. “
Sun Yingqian's face flushed slightly when she heard him praise him like this. I accidentally found that this prince has no lofty shelf at all, he is not arrogant, nor domineering, which is why she has slowly changed her opinion of Situ Hao.
The two walked to the small street of Huihaofu, and there was no one around. Street light is not noticeable.
Suddenly, they were approached by a burly man, armed with a knife in his hand, walking like a fly.
Situ Hao noticed it and quickly pushed Sun Yingqian away, only to dodge the blow, but this person slashed at Situ Hao with the blade, and he turned over one after another, almost dodging. The other party did not give up, slashing one after another, and shouted in his mouth.
"Mo Chen, go die!"
This voice is Yuan Likai's!
Situ Hao immediately understood, but his light skills were not good, Yuan Likai raised his leg and kicked him towards Sun Yingqian. He was kicked several feet out, rolled to the ground, struggled to get up, and wanted to shout that I am not a strange man!
At this time, his mouth was covered by Sun Yingqian, "You can't reveal your identity, you have to give Qin Luo time for them to escape!"
Situ Hao thought about it and was terrified.
That can't trade my life!
Now how can there be time to justify, Yuan Likai rushed quickly, ready to make another sword, Situ Hao took out the sword from his arms and used it hard.
Sun Yingqian was very surprised when she saw this sword.
These three princes have always hidden their swords on their bodies, but they told us not to carry swords! What does this mean?
After all, Yuan Likai is a person on the battlefield, full of brute strength, and in a moment, he has suppressed Situ Hao.
In the last blow, Yuan Likai slashed with all his strength, Situ Hao could only resist with his sword, and the two weapons struck violently. Hearing only a cracking sound, the sword body was halved in an instant, and Yuan Likai's knife was also slashed head-on.
At the critical moment, Sun Yingqian looked at the broken sword that flew out to the side, quickly picked it up, and threw it at Yuan Likai. Suddenly, the broken sword stabbed into his arm, leaving him in pain.
Taking advantage of this, Sun Yingqian pulled Situ Hao to turn around and run away, without delaying for a moment.
Yuan Likai's own soldiers held torches and came to his side. He covered his wounds, pointed to a place and ordered angrily, "Chase me!!"
"Yes!"
The two kept running.
"It's not a way to run like this!" Sun Yingqian gasped.
Situ Hao was also panting rapidly. What to do, what to do.
Suddenly, he had a flash of inspiration, "Let's go! Let's go find Mo Shao!"
"Do you know where Mo Shao goes!"
"Of course you do! Run!!"
The two of them exerted their strength again and ran towards one place.
In a place in the country of Fengyin, a crowd gathered, and they surrounded a tree that stood tall from the ground to the sky. The tree stands there, and it is full of flowers.
In particular, the flower color is lilac and is illuminated by the moonlight. The whole tree emits a pale purple glow, and it is reflected in the sky, making this place like a fairyland, and people are enchanted.
Mo Chen led Qin Luo here, Qin Luo looked up at the scene, breathtaking, he had never seen such a scene, "This is?"
"This is the Changye Tree, this tree only grows in this part of the Wind Country, and it is the only one. Mo Chen continued to lead her and walked under the tree.
"You just want to bring me here?"
"Yes. “
Qin Luo looked up at the towering tree. A breeze blows, and the petals on the trees are slowly sprinkled, like fairies scattering flowers. This is pleasing to the eye, and the gods are fascinated and drunk. She smelled the rich fragrance of flowers and smiled warmly.
"It's so nice here. “
Mo Chen saw her rare smile, recalling her innocent and romantic smile when she was a child, it was very heartwarming. He pulled out the small box, "Luo'er." “
"Huh?"
He opened the box, and inside was an earring, which was extremely small and lightweight, and was very suitable for women in the rivers and lakes. The above style resembles the flower pattern on the Changye tree, "Give it to you." “
Qin Luo saw that these earrings were simple and generous, she liked them quite a lot, and took a few more looks.
Mo Chen saw her staring at the earrings intently, so he took them off, "Come, I'll put it on for you." He leaned close to her ear and put it on gently.
The two faced each other, and the first close contact made Qin Luo's heart beat faster for some reason, a feeling she had never felt before.
Mo Chen took her hand, with tender eyes, wanting to say what was hidden in his heart.
"Luo'er. He called nervously, his heartbeat gradually accelerating, "During the Spring Festival, you saved me, and helped me heal my wounds in Yaoyu Valley, and took care of me carefully, at that time... No... It's childhood... I ..... you since I was a child."
God, why can't you say it?
Qin Luo listened to him and stopped, there was a lot of noise nearby, and she only heard the first half of the sentence. Guess carefully, Mo Chen's actions today, is it?
"Are you taking this gift as a thank you for your kindness?"
Yes?
Mo Chen's heart fluttered, is this what I just said?
He thought about what he had just said, and wanted to say it again.
"No, it's..."
Suddenly, the people around him became chaotic, and Qin Luo instantly raised his vigilance and ignored him at all. At this moment, the woman in black approached them with a sword.
The two parted instantly, avoiding a stab. This woman's sword speed was fast, and she turned directly towards Qin Luo.
When she saw the light skill dodging, she accumulated internal strength and hit the opponent's back with one palm. Although this person was repelled a few steps, he could fight again.
At this time, Mo Chen also immediately joined the battle and exchanged views with this person. The woman in black swung her long sword again and stabbed at the other party. Mo Chen quickly approached, hit her wrist with her forearm, snatched the sword from the situation, and then slashed the person's left shoulder with a backhand, and the other party covered the wound and fled lightly.
Qin Luo stepped forward, "This woman's light skills are no less than you and me." “
"But she wasn't sent by those two. Mo Chen thought that she couldn't kill us alone, but why did she have to come forward and fight.
Mo Chen was thinking about it, Situ Hao and Sun Yingqian came here, panting.
Situ Hao breathlessly took his breath, "We... For you... Lead those people away... You guys... But in... But in... Wind and snow!"
Yuan Likai's personal soldiers saw that the crowd was gathering there, so they stopped stepping forward. If it is found that it was ordered by the general, it will not be good for the emperor to find out and blame it. They began to retreat back.
Romantic?
Mo Chen recalled the rare opportunity just now, but he didn't express his heart, and suddenly felt melancholy.
Sun Yingqian was aggrieved, "I don't dare to leave you." “
"Me too. Situ Hao recalled the danger at that time, and he couldn't stand up.
"By the way, why do you have a sword on you?" Sun Yingqian questioned him.
"I... I'm not thinking that there should be no danger today, and if there is, I can show my sword to protect you. That makes me extra heroic, doesn't it?"
Sun Yingqian immediately became angry, "When you are in danger, don't you also lie down! “
"How did I know this would happen!"
The two of them began to argue, Qin Luo wanted to stop it, but he didn't know how to stop it, Mo Chen on the side didn't bother to pay attention to it at all, he regretted why he missed such a good time, why couldn't he say it at that time!
In the mansion of the prime minister of Fengyin Kingdom, a dark shadow flashed, avoiding the guards in the mansion and entering the house.
The middle-aged man looked out the window at the stars, and the consciousness person sneaked in, "How about inquiry?"
The candlelight slowly took on the appearance of this black shadow, which was the person who attacked Mo Chen Qin Luo. She covered her face, her wound was still bleeding, and she endured the pain, "Your Excellency, they have indeed increased their internal strength. “
"Let's go down"
"Yes. “
The middle-aged man clenched his fists and slammed the window frame, "They actually got the crystal flower first!"
"Lord Cao, we have another plan. “
The speaker walked out of the darkness, and the man was dressed in a green shirt, and said without being impetuous or impetic.
"Wouldn't that be a long time to wait!" Lord Cao looked eager.
"If you want to hurry, you can't reach it, people are already in your underground pool, sacrificing the ghost remnant sword. “
"So you've been planning for a long time. “
"Of course. The man sat on the chair and smiled evilly, "I will never miss anything I planned. “
Underneath, in the dead silence, the sound of dripping water can be heard clearly.
One drop, two drops.
A long sword slumbered in the underground pool, it emitted a faint green glow, and moonlight slowly cast into the window next to the pool.
The color of the pond water changes from black to black and red, and the upper part of the center resembles a figure, which is hung upside down by iron chains, motionless, and slowly changes direction and turns to one place when the moonlight shines.
The man was covered in blood, blood from top to bottom, flowing between his fingers and dripping slowly into the pool.
Although the blood stained the clothes, with the moonlight, this person was vaguely wearing primrose-colored clothes, which seemed to be the clothes of a Jianghu woman.
The morning sun shines on the surface of the pond in the courtyard of Haofu, and the fish play by the pavilion. Suddenly, a voice scared them around.
"My sword!"
Situ Hao sat on the steps of the pavilion, holding a broken sword, crying.
Mo Chen sat next to him, helplessly listening to him tell how to be broken by Yuan Likai. But the others were here, and their hearts had already drifted to Qin Luo, looking at the pool, Qin Luo was instructing Sun Yingqian's swordsmanship.
"It's so miserable!" Situ Hao sighed again.
"Are you as miserable as me?" Mo Chen replied with his cheeks in his hands.
Situ Hao instantly put away his depressed face, and said regretfully, "You are also quite miserable, the love token made by yourself is understood by the other party as a thank you gift, hey, it's difficult, but why do you want to talk in circles, can't you be more direct?"
Mo Chen saw that his face changed at a speed that was not inferior to himself, "I also want to, if I scare Luo'er, what can I do!"
"That's right. Qin Luo has been on the Jade Mountain for the past ten years, and he must have never experienced the matter of red dust. Situ Hao mentioned Hongchen, and once again remembered his beloved sword, and cried again, "But I am experiencing Hongchen, my sword, Mo Shao, you must save it." “
"What can I do, I don't know how to forge arts. “
Blacksmithing?
This reminded Situ Hao of something
"Don't you know Xiao Yue? that swordsmith, the sword he built is hard to find. “
Mo Chen pouted and said, "But your broken sword is in a different place, how can you let Brother Xiaoyue help you recover." “
"No matter! I'm here to save you, and you owe me!"
Mo Chen sighed, this is always a personal debt, I have to pay it off quickly, so I don't want to listen to his nagging. "Then tomorrow we will leave for the West Rim Island. “
"Haole!" Situ Hao immediately became lively and got up to inform Sun Yingqian and Qin Luo.
After learning the news, Qin Luo still didn't react, she just knew that it was good to follow Mo Chen, and she already trusted him very much. And Sun Yingqian, who is usually outgoing, has a solemn expression for some reason.
