The two chatted with Zhao Yi on the side of the road for about half an hour, and when it was close to noon, they said goodbye to the old man and continued to march in the direction of Beique.

"Is that old man named Zhao Yi really four hundred years old?" asked Yuan Yu with his head sideways to Huai Huang, as if there was still some doubt in his expression.

Huai Huang nodded, "This matter should be true, at least I have seen this person many times in Luoyang, this person liked to show off his experience to everyone at that time, so many princes and nobles were keen to entertain him back then, and let him tell some strange things that could not be heard in the temple." Later, the Luoyang soldiers rebelled, and they never heard from Zhao Yi again. I never thought that I would meet him here more than a hundred years later. ”

"After living for so long, I must have seen too many births, deaths, and ups and downs in the world. In this way, what's the good of living a long life? It's better to die at the end of your life. Yuan Yu kicked the pebbles on the road and muttered to himself.

Huai Huang smiled after listening to Yuan Yu's words, and said seriously: "That's a good thing, but how many people from ancient times to the present don't want immortality? It is said that the first emperor Zhao Zheng used many means in order to seek the elixir of life, and even sent thousands of boys and girls to the East China Sea to look for the immortal mountain, but in the end the immortal medicine was not found, and Xu Fu and the others did not return. Zhao Yi is a rare natural stranger, and immortality is unattainable after all. ”

Yuan Yu turned his head to look at Huai Huang's side face, and let out a thoughtful sigh.

The two of them traveled about four or five miles to the east, and soon after they had gone forward, Huai Huang faintly heard the sound of silk and bamboo coming from a distance.

It seems that someone is playing the pipa, and the pipa sound is tactful with resentment and a faint sense of murder.

Huai Huang turned his head to Yuan Yu and asked, "It seems that someone is playing the pipa in front, did Xuan Hui hear it?"

After hearing this, Yuan Yu turned his ear to look for the source of the sound.

"I heard it, it seems that someone is playing, but in this wilderness place, who will be idle here?" Yuan Yu frowned, this matter was quite strange, and he already had some suspicions in his heart.

Huai Huang did not continue to speak, but pulled up Yuan Yu, strode straight forward to find the sound of the pipa, and chattered at the same time.

"It seems that it has been really eventful, and I have only walked for so many miles, and I am curious about what else awaits us and what people are waiting for us. ”

The sound of the pipa is getting closer and closer, and Huai Huang squints his eyes into the distance.

I saw that about 20 zhang ahead, a hexagonal post pavilion stood on the side of the road, and the sound of the pipa came from the pavilion.

The musicians playing in the pavilion seemed to sense someone approaching, and the rhythm of the plucking in their hands gradually slowed down, until at last there were only one or two mocking sounds.

Seeing this, the corners of Huai Huang's mouth lifted lightly, turned sideways and whispered to Yuan Yu: "Sure enough, it's waiting for us, don't pay attention to it for the time being, continue to walk, and see what tricks it has." ”

Yuan Yu was a little puzzled, he originally wanted to get close to the pavilion to see who was playing the pipa, but when he heard Huai Huang say this, he thought that the other party should have a plan, so he nodded, followed Huai Huang forward, and didn't even take another look in the direction of the post hall.

"The two Lang Jun are in such a hurry, are they going to go and rest for a while in the pavilion before leaving?"

At the same time as the two of them swept past the pavilion, a soft and crisp questioning voice floated out of the pavilion, like a woman's voice.

Huaihuang didn't stop when he heard it, he didn't even look back, he just snorted lightly, and then said loudly, "The lady's pipa is very beautiful, thank you for the lady's kindness, but our brother wants to rush back to farm, so it's inconvenient to stay longer." ”

The other party paused after hearing this, she obviously didn't expect Huai Huang to reply to herself like this, and after a while, she giggled, with a sneer in her tone.

The slave family also wanted to play a pipa for the passing Lang Jun, but Lang Jun didn't appreciate it, and even prevaricated the slave family with the reason of farming, and the slave family had to show up. ”

As soon as the words fell, a red figure flew out of the post pavilion, floating in front of the two like ghosts.

Yuan Yu and Huai Huang stopped suddenly, and the latter's right hand was already pressed on the scabbard at his waist.

White gauze fence, red silk skirt, and a wrong golden luodian pipa across her chest, although she covers her face, it is not difficult to see that she is a woman in her prime with a slender figure.

Yuan Yu muttered: "Just sent away Uncle Zhao, and another pretty girl came, it seems that the short journey is really exciting." ”

Then he made a gesture to the other party, and said loudly: "This lady is really enthusiastic, I don't know what music to play for my two brothers?" But the two of us are horsemen in the countryside, and if we don't know how to appreciate it, I'm afraid we will live up to the lady's good intentions." ”

While he was laughing and groaning, he had already secretly found a pottery bullet in the cloth bag and held it in the palm of his hand.

The woman had already noticed the movements of the two people on the other side, but she pretended not to know, and just smiled lightly and said, "The two Lang Jun might as well guess the slave family's tune, and if the slave family guesses correctly, they will play one more song for Lang Jun." ”

"We don't know anything about music, and we still have important things to do, so the little lady might as well say it directly. Yuan Yu was about to open his mouth to respond, but Huai Huang said first.

The woman lifted the brim of her hat, lowered her head and took out a delicate wrong gold plectrum from her arms, and whispered to the two: "The two Lang Jun are really in a hurry, since this is the case, the slave family will no longer waste time, so I will play a song "Song of the Fall" for Lang Jun, and invite Lang Jun to taste it." ”

Yuan Yu was shocked in his heart, the siege of Qixia was the battle to the death in which Chu and Han fought for hegemony and Xiang Yu, the overlord of Western Chu, was in a desperate situation.

The delicate girl in front of her actually wanted to play this song for them, and it was really not good.

As soon as the woman's voice fell, she touched the strings with the plectrum in her hand, and a resentful pipa sound sounded, and the sound broke her gut when she heard it, and her brows were even more furrowed after hearing this.

While playing the pipa, the woman sang softly along with the music: "Pull out the mountains and cover the world." The times are not good, and the smos will not pass. If you don't die, you can't help it, you can't help it, you can't help it, ......you can't help it,

Although the sound of the pipa was graceful to hear, it was like a magic sound, and Yuan Yu only listened to a few words, but he was weak with tears in the corners of his eyes, and he saw that his body was about to fall backwards as soon as he was crooked. Seeing this, Huai Huang immediately supported him and patted him lightly on the face with his hand a few times, and Yuan Yu woke up and turned around.

Huai Huang turned his head and glared at the woman, and asked with a sneer: "Sure enough, it's the person sent by the Lintoe Society again? ”

After that, the silver light on Huaihuang's waist flashed, and the ring-headed knife that was originally in the sheath was already in his hand, and the tip of the knife pointed directly at the girl opposite.

"Lin Toe Society? It seems that Lang Jun has some misunderstanding of the slave family, could it be that some of the people from the Lin Toe Society are also going to arrest the two?" The woman covered her mouth and chuckled, not hiding her intentions at all.

Arrest the two, it seems that this is the purpose of this weak woman in front of her.

"Who are you?"

Yuan Yu just received the impact of the sound of the pipa, and a breath of depression lingered in his chest, and his spirit was still a little dazed at this time. Hearing the woman's denial again, he still forced himself to question her.

The woman smiled slightly after hearing this, and then shook her arm slightly, and the plectrum wanted to be wound again, "It doesn't matter who the slave family is, it's just that the experience of the two Langjun is too exciting, and my master is very interested in the two, so I want to invite the two of them to the house to talk about it." ”

"Is this how your master invites others to be guests, then I want to see if you have the ability to take us away today!"

Huai Huang was already troubled, and when he saw this woman twisting, he couldn't hold it back in his heart, and he waved his long knife while scolding and galloped towards the other party.

When the woman saw Huai Huang suddenly rushing in, she immediately retreated, she dodged Huai Huang's first blow sideways, and at the same time, the pipa plectrum in her hand flipped and slashed straight at Huai Huang's throat, as fast as lightning.

Huai Huang was shocked for a moment, he never thought that this seemingly delicate and fragile wooden plectrum in the woman's hand would quietly turn into a life-seeking weapon at this moment, and it was such a powerful move.

With a sound of "bell", Huai Huang hurriedly raised the ring head knife to resist the attack of the picket.

The crisp sound of the impact sounded in his ears, and he realized that the plectrum in the woman's hand was actually drawn from stainless steel, and the bottom of the plectrum was flat and sharp like a dagger.

The woman's counterattack was resisted by Huaihuang's move, and she jumped backwards with the power of the ring-headed knife, and then fluttered to the ground like a butterfly.

"It seems that the slave family has met a master today, which is a bit tricky. The woman in red said with a smile, although it sounded like a compliment to Huaihuang, the tone was more of a joke.

"Needless to say!" Huai Huang waved his arms, and the scabbard in his hand flew out towards the woman like an arrow.

The scabbard collided violently with the sound blade, and the hedge of the two forces set off a chilling air flow around it, and in an instant, the yellow leaves flew all over the sky, and the originally flying scabbard also fell to the ground in response.

"This woman's weapon is so weird, she doesn't use swords, guns, swords, and halberds, but she hurts people with an invisible piano sound. Yuan Yu stood aside and watched the battle and exclaimed, he was not deeply involved in the world, and it was the first time he had encountered such a strange skill.

"It's not surprising that the evil sect is crooked. Huai Yuyan brushed the blade with his fingers, and the cold light flashed on the originally blue and white blade, only to see him stepping on the Nine Palaces footwork, and rushing straight towards the other party with a vigorous posture, wanting to use the personal knife technique to break the woman's piano technique.

With two clangs, the sound blade that popped out of the pipa struck head-on again, Huai Huang's wrist flipped rapidly, and the ring-headed knife forged from fine iron shrouded a layer of impermeable barrier in front of him, and the tangible blade intersected with the invisible blade, colliding with countless sparks in an instant.

Seeing this, the speed of the plucking in the woman's hand accelerated, and one after another sound blades shot at Huai Huang, like a mountain wind. Huai Huang held a knife and moved forward against the woman's fierce attack, and there was no sign of retreating.

"Lang Jun is really heroic, but if you want to pass the slave family, it depends on whether your knife is fast or my pipa is fast. The woman hid the knife in her smile at this time, and said smugly.

Immediately, she snorted coldly, and the plectrum quickly swiped up and down the five strings of the pipa, and dozens of flying knives turned into sound waves appeared instantly, accompanied by the sound of the pipa, like a storm and rain towards Huaihuang.

There was another clang, and Huai Huang quickly turned the long knife in his hand, although most of the sound blades were defused by his attack, but there were still a few fish that slipped through the net and cut through Huai Huang's arm, and it was faintly visible that there was already blood soaking through her clothes, but the woman was still unscathed when she stood far away.

"This is not the way, this woman's evil magic makes Huaihuang unable to get close at all. Yuan Yu watched the battle from the sidelines and looked anxious, and couldn't help but whisper secretly, the tense battle situation made his palms clench, and it was only at this time that he realized the pottery bullet that had already been in the palm of his hand.

Since you can't get close, deal with her from a distance.

I saw Yuan Yu quickly unload the slingshot on his back, and then Tao flicked into his pocket, and aimed at the woman with a full bowstring, the woman had already noticed Yuan Yu who was watching the battle on the sidelines, and saw that he wanted to sneak attack him, the woman suddenly turned around, waved her slender arm, and two sound blades flew straight towards Yuan Yu.

Seeing this, Yuan Yu hurriedly bent down, and rolled over to the back of a cedar tree next to him, and the woman aimed at Yuan Yu and played a few times, and the sound blade hit the thick cedar tree, and the sawdust flew in an instant, leaving only a few deep knife marks on the trunk.

Huai Huang took advantage of the opponent's lack of skill, and after struggling to resist the last sound blade, his steps quickly moved from Gen to Xun, intending to turn behind the woman in one fell swoop. Unexpectedly, the woman put down Yuan Yu and turned to Huaihuang, as if she was aware of Huaihuang's thoughts, and jumped back more than three feet with a slight force under her feet, making Huaihuang's plan fall through in an instant.

As soon as the woman's feet landed, the movements in her hands did not stop at all, and the sound blade like an arrow came with the sound of the piano. Although he was able to protect himself at this time, it was difficult to get close to the woman, let alone hurt her in the slightest.

If you want to break out of the encirclement, it seems that only by relying on Yuan Yu to cover on the side can you distract the other party.

Yuan Yu, who was hiding behind the tree, also knew this truth in his heart, and at this time he was pulling the bowstring and preparing to attack, just looking for an opportunity to sneak attack.

"If you are obediently tied up, the slave family can promise the two Langjun to tie you up more decently. Seeing that Huai Huang and Yuan Yu on the other side had no way to take herself, the woman was inevitably a little proud, plucked the strings in her hand, and sneered and mocked at the same time.

Yuan Yu heard the strange words of the woman Guli, and his heart was already extremely angry, he didn't want to rely on others to protect him in times of crisis, he wanted to be a useful person.

As soon as the woman's voice fell, she only heard two bangs, and two missiles broke through the air like meteors catching the moon. It turned out that Yuan Yu jumped out from behind the cedar tree, this sudden attack made the woman a little too late to react, she hurriedly erected the pipa in front of her door, the first pottery bullet brushed the woman's hair, and the other hit the string of the pipa hard.

"Bang-" The two strings snapped in response, and the huge impact also made the woman take a few steps back.

The woman looked at the strings that fell to the ground and was stunned for a moment, she really didn't expect that the man hiding in the shadows also had such a ability.

Seeing that her pipa was damaged, she was furious, and scolded Yuan Yu angrily: "It's okay for you, since the two toasters don't eat and drink, they must resist to the end, and the slave family will no longer show mercy today, and be ready to take it seriously!"

After that, she put the pipa across her chest again, and the plectrum in her hand danced extremely fast, unlike the mournful and tactful "Song of the Fall", the pipa she is playing now is passionate and generous, like the west wind in the middle of winter, it is a song "Overlord Removes Armor".

At the same time as the pipa music sounded, the surrounding wind suddenly raged, and even the leaves on the trees were swept down by the sound of the piano, like pieces of sharp flying knives, rushing towards Yuan Yu together with the sound blade.
