However, it was said that Chu Qiushui climbed the mountains and waded through the water, traveled thousands of miles, and finally arrived at the White Camel Mountain in the Western Regions, close to the boundary of the northern frontier.

It's just that he asked around, but he couldn't find any clues about Luo Bing, and Li Wuning had no news, so he could only be secretly anxious. He wandered around the northern city every day, but he couldn't understand other people's speech and felt bored.

On this day, Chu Qiushui found a window seat, ordered some fruit roast, and a pot of fine wine, and slowly poured himself a drink.

was drinking bored, when he suddenly saw a slender man with sword eyebrows and a slender man passing by under the window.

Chu Qiushui has seen a lot of northerners these days, and when he saw that the person was dressed and behaved differently, although he was dressed close to the local, he was actually from the Central Plains, so he couldn't help but take a few more looks.

This time, I immediately recognized that the person was Mei Changqing.

Chu Qiushui was taken aback, and said in his heart: "How did Mei Changqing come here? Could it be related to Luo Bing?" Thinking of this, he didn't have the heart to eat anymore, so he hurriedly went downstairs and followed Mei Changqing from a distance.

Although Chu Qiushui is not an expert in stalking, he is a high-ranking person, and he will not be discovered on the street.

faintly followed Mei Changqing, but saw that Mei Changqing was also looking around, as if she was looking for someone.

Chu Qiushui's heart sank: "Who can Mei Changqing know in Northern Xinjiang? Most of them came to find Luo Bing." Oops, I'm alone, how can I kill Luo Bing?"

After bypassing a few blocks, Mei Changqing stood in the center of the street, and then stopped walking, thinking that this was the place where the two met. Chu Qiushui guessed that Luo Bing was close to the left, so he hurriedly hid in the corner and peeked secretly.

In the distance, a man dressed in Middle-earth service, but walking with his head held high, walked over. When Chu Qiushui saw that the man was dressed, he had expected that he was Luo Bing, but it seemed vaguely that the outline was not quite the same. When he got closer, Chu Qiushui suddenly gasped.

This looks like Mei Changqing, but he looks a little depressed, and he also has sword eyebrows and starry eyes, but he has a sad face.

He has a scruffy beard, his eyebrows and eyes are lowered, and there is no look in his eyes, the more he looks at it, the more he looks like a martial arts master, but he seems to be a lover of the rivers and lakes.

Chu Qiushui was greatly surprised, and he didn't dare to show up, just looked at the two of them.

Mei Changqing, who looked decadent, squinted her eyes, pointed to the corner of the wall, and said coldly: "Uncle is wondering, what kind of birdman used Lao Tzu's mark to gather the original Brother Kongtong in a place like a volcano where birds don't lay eggs. Unexpectedly, you actually learned all the appearance of Lao Tzu. Think about it, you're Gong Qi, right?"

The other Mei Changqing seemed to be stunned for a moment, and then laughed heartily: "What a Mei Changqing, you can actually guess my identity at a glance." ”

Mei Changqing said indifferently: "There are not a few people who can look like this, but there are no people from me in Northern Xinjiang, and you can only attract Luo Bing if you make marks here and there." Since you are pretending to be me, you are naturally plotting against Luo Bing. Wouldn't it be stupid for someone with this ability and such a disguise technique to never guess your identity again?"

Mr. Gong Qi nodded with a smile and said, "Shouldn't you be blessed in the Divine Capital?

A flash of pain flashed in Mei Changqing's eyes, and then she regained her composure: "I'm too lazy to roll around in this treacherous river and lake, and now Luo Bing is the only one who is worried." Well, getting rid of you here today is also a disservice. ”

In a flash of light, the long sword was drawn. Mr. Gong Qi also pulled out his knife, but his eyes wandered, knowing that he was not Mei Changqing's opponent, and he was obviously about to run away.

Chu Qiushui has been walking the rivers and lakes for a short time, and he doesn't know who this Mr. Gong Qi is. But listening to the two of them, since Mr. Gong Qi is plotting against Luo Bing, he is naturally half a friend of his own.

Seeing the momentum of the two of them, Mei Changqing was calm, but Mr. Gong Qi's eyes were rolling, obviously calculating the escape route, although he didn't make a move, but the superiority and inferiority had already been distinguished.

Chu Qiushui said in his heart: "It sounds like these two people don't know where Luo Bing is. If I take this opportunity to kill Mei Changqing, when I go to kill Luo Bing in the future, I will have one less person to hinder. Thinking of this, he walked out and said, "Mr. Gong Qi, how about you get out of the way a little? ”

Mei Changqing and Mr. Gong Qi drew their knives and faced each other, and there was chaos on the street for a while, and pedestrians fled in a hurry. When the two of them heard the Chinese dialect, they were both surprised, and when they looked back, when they saw Chu Qiushui, they couldn't help but be even more surprised.

Mei Changqing frowned and said, "Chu Shaoxia, for no reason, why do you want to provoke me?"

Chu Qiushui said coldly: "Mei Changqing, do you dare to fight?"

Mei Changqing sneered for a moment and said, "I still have something to do, and I don't have the time to fight with you today." Another day, I must get to know you as a so-called heir."

Chu Qiushui said coldly: "Why bother to change the day, it's better to try it now."

Mei Changqing shook her head.

People in the martial arts love face the most, if others invite them to fight, there is no reason to escape, otherwise it will be spread out, wouldn't it be a loss of face?

Chu Qiushui didn't expect Mei Changqing to say that he would leave, and was about to use light skills to chase after him, but he heard Mr. Gong Qi say, "Brother Chu, slow down." ”

Chu Qiushui didn't know Mr. Gong Qi's true appearance, nor did he know his age, listening to the sentence "Brother Chu", it seemed to be a young man, but he was not sure, so he said: "Don't dare." Dare I ask, can the gentleman take off his mask and let me see it next?"

Mr. Gong Qi nodded, then took off the human skin mask and wiped his face with his sleeve. Chu Qiushui saw that he was really a good-looking young man, and his heart suddenly became close, so he said, "Sir, is he working under the hands of the Heavenly Demon?"

Mr. Gong Qi said: "Not bad. This is not a place to speak, come with me. Pulling Chu Qiushui, he walked out of the city.

The oasis inside the volcano is a different story.

But it was said that Ouyang Qing's body was in mid-air, constantly falling, and he wanted to die soon. He dimly saw Xiao Yue being thrown up the mountain, and thought of the old monk's thunderous expression, and his heart was secretly happy.

Suddenly, a black shadow flashed from the top of the mountain, and it was like a black lightning, but it was slashing at him. Ouyang Qingxin said: "What kind of ghost is that? Could it be the bull head and horse face who took me into hell?"

I felt that the mountains and rocks rushed quickly, and Ouyang Qing was tightly held by the ghost, and the wounds all over his body were painful. Suddenly, his body shook, and he fell to the ground. Ouyang Qing didn't react for a while, looked around, and suddenly found that he was on that plateau, and his heart was suddenly ecstatic: "I'm not dead?"

When I looked up again, I was lying in the arms of a person. Ouyang Qing looked at the man, and saw that he was wearing the armor of the Yue Clan, all over his body was coagulated blood, and there was a fishy smell, it was actually the previous Yue Clan soldier The person had an indifferent face, no joy or sadness on his face, just looked at Ouyang Qing coldly.

Ouyang Qing glanced at the opposite mountain, and his heart was suddenly shocked: "This person can actually fly over the canyon and rescue me who fell in mid-air, how amazing is his martial arts? I thought he was nothing more than Erer before, but now I see, at least in terms of light skills, he is definitely not below me." Where did he come from?"

The soldier ordered a few acupuncture points on Ouyang Qing's body to stop the bleeding for him, and then used internal force to heal him. Ouyang Qing was in a strong body after all, and with a little bit of means, the person's energy quickly recovered.

The soldier hissed, "I ask you something, please tell me the truth." ”

Ouyang Qing knew that the other party was polite, but in fact, his life was hanging in the hands of others, so how could there be room for bargaining, so he sighed and said, "You ask." ”

The soldier said in a deep voice: "I have a great enemy, I heard that he has come to the Western Regions. He's paralyzed in both legs, and he's in a wheelchair, I don't know if you've seen it?"

Ouyang Qing's heart jumped: "Sitting in a wheelchair, could it be a heavenly demon?" and immediately said: "I've seen it." He was in the camp of the Tang Army, but now he was no longer in a wheelchair. ”

The soldier frowned and said, "Tang Army's camp? Now that his legs are healed, did the person you said have a broken arm?"

Ouyang Qing was stunned, shook his head and said, "No, he has sound limbs." ”

Speaking of this, he suddenly remembered that the Heavenly Demon had cut off one of Lu Changfeng's arms, and his heart suddenly suddenly dawned: "So the great enemy he said is actually Lu Changfeng." Yes, Lu Changfeng killed and injured a lot in the Central Plains martial arts, and made a lot of enemies, and it is normal for someone to travel thousands of miles to take revenge. It's just that with this person's martial arts, why wait until Lu Changfeng is crippled? If he and Li Wuning join forces that day, plus many heroes, Lu Changfeng would have to die. ”

Many thoughts turned in my heart, and I suddenly heard the man say, "Look down the mountain." ”

Ouyang Qing stood up and looked down the mountain, only to see a girl with a sad face, who had been caught by the old monk on horseback, it turned out to be Xiao Yue's heart, and he couldn't help but exclaim: "How can this be......?

The soldier said coldly: "It's not difficult for me to kill all the people below, but it's not easy to keep Xiaoyue unharmed." Today, I'll let you go again, because I still need your help to save Xiaoyue. Just ask you to think clearly, whether the person who betrayed you is worth your life for him. After saying this, he ignored Ouyang Qing, turned his head and left.

Ouyang Qing looked at the bottom of the mountain blankly, not knowing what to do for a while.

After pondering for a long time, I finally made up my mind, followed those monks to the death, and looked for an opportunity to make a move. The soldier healed his wounds, and now his internal strength has recovered a lot, although he is not sure of defeating the old monk, but it is easy to follow him far away without being discovered.

Mr. Gong Qi took Chu Qiushui and took a few circles in the woods on the outskirts of the city. Chu Qiushui saw that the more he walked, the more hidden he became, and suddenly a warning sign suddenly appeared in his heart: "He brought me here, did he want to calculate me?" But his martial arts skills are much higher than that of Mr. Gong Qi, so there is no need to worry.

Mr. Gong Qi walked into the depths of the forest and said, "Li Wu would rather let you wait for him here, and you will wait a little." ”

Chu Qiushui exclaimed: "You...... How do you know Li Wuning?" When Li Wuning had testified for Lu Changfeng, it could be said that Chu Qiushui and he had done the right thing with the Heavenly Demon for this matter. Now that Mr. Gong Qi mentioned Li Wuning at first glance, he couldn't help but be surprised.

Mr. Gong Qi knew his intentions and said with a smile: "Li Wuning was once plotted by Luo Bing and mistakenly testified as a traitor, and he regrets this matter so far." Now that he and the Heavenly Demon have settled their old suspicions, although they refuse to join the Heavenly Demon, they are no longer enemies. ”

Chu Qiushui had a deep hatred for Luo Bing, and secondly, he also had a one-ten-thousandth hope, hoping that the Heavenly Demon would be able to save Chu Qiuyan after his martial arts were completed, and he had already had the idea of repairing the Heavenly Demon, and immediately nodded with a smile when he heard the words.

Mr. Gong Qi said: "I pretended to be Mei Changqing, just to assassinate Luo Bing, and now that the plan has failed, it is inconvenient for me to stay for a long time, so I will go back to the Heavenly Demon Lord to return my life." ”

Chu Qiushui nodded and said, "I have a war contract with Luo Bing, but he took the opportunity to delay it again and again. This time in Northern Xinjiang, I must stab this person, and ask Mr. to tell the Heavenly Demon on my behalf. ”

Mr. Gong Qi smiled and said, "Then it's bothering Brother Chu." After saying goodbye, he left, his steps were brisk, and he seemed to be in a rather happy mood.

Chu Qiushui waited in the forest for a long time, but there was still no trace of him, and he couldn't help but be a little anxious. He pulled out his sword and slowly used a Tai Chi swordsmanship, anticipating the routine when he was paired with Luo Bing.

Suddenly, I heard a person say aloud: "The circle is as good as you want, and you don't slack off, and you really have a good time." Good swordsmanship"

As soon as Chu Qiushui turned around, it was Li Wuning's arrival.

In Chu Qiushui's mind, Li Wuning had already been his friend, he thought twice that Li Wuning had lost his life, and today he finally saw him again, and he was really overjoyed, and greeted him with a smile: "Brother Li, I finally waited for you." ”

Li Wuning smiled slightly and said, "I came to you today, of course, I have important information to tell you. Now that the Yue Clan's army is outside the volcano, if Luo Bing comes to the Western Regions and is not in the Northern Frontier City, he may be hidden here. Of course, this is just speculation, I'm not sure yet. Why don't we look around the city first, and if we don't find anything, then go outside the volcano?"

Chu Qiushui said strangely: "The Yue's army? This is the northern border, how can the Yue's army go deep? Could it be that the two countries are at war?"

Li Wuning shook his head and said, "You don't know. Outside the Flaming Mountains is a vast desert, although it is the northern border, but there are no people, and the north will not fortify here. The Yue's army must have a plan when it is mobilized here, but as long as it does not cross the volcano, it cannot threaten the northern frontier, and the north will not care if it wants to. ”

Ouyang Qing followed the old monk and his party from afar, visiting all the way. Those people seemed to have been ordered, but they didn't dare to be too rude to Xiao Yue, so Ouyang Qing was slightly relieved.

All the way to the periphery of the volcano, the weather is gradually scorching, and the monks have to rest and drink water after walking a short distance. Ouyang Qing's mouth was also dry, but seeing that those people didn't give Xiaoyue a drop of water, he couldn't help but be angry in his heart. It's just that they defended very tightly and didn't get off for a while.

Further out, there was gradually a sentry. From time to time, soldiers blocked the way. The old monk seemed to have a very high status, and he didn't show the token, and answered the incision, just a big thorn and passed by.

When the soldiers saw him, they bent down and bowed, and said respectfully: "See the national teacher" and dare not stop him.

Ouyang Qing thought to himself, it was easy to touch this post, but he was afraid that the Yue Clan army would have a secret post here, and when the time came, he would inevitably startle the snake, hesitated for a moment, and still stayed on the mountain.

Although the volcano is hot, it is hidden here, and you can see the situation below.

I was looking for a hidden place when I heard footsteps coming. Ouyang Qing's heart froze, and he hurriedly leaned next to a big stone, waiting for the man.

The footsteps rustled, and in a blink of an eye they were on the edge of the boulder. Ouyang Qing took a breath, jumped out suddenly, and slapped it out with one palm. At this moment, he has no blade in his hand, but his internal strength has gradually recovered, and the power of this palm is really not bad.

In a hurry, he couldn't see the other party's face, Ouyang Qing suddenly felt an overwhelming force pressing over, and was immediately shocked back a few steps, and couldn't help but be shocked in his heart: "This person's martial arts are so high" Looking up, the man protected his hands on his chest, and he also looked like he was facing a great enemy.

The two of them looked at each other, they were both taken aback, and shouted in unison, "Is it you?" It turned out that the person was Chu Qiushui.

Chu Qiushui and Li Wuning divided labor, Li Wuning searched the Northern Xinjiang City, and he went to the Volcano Waiyue Clan Army to find out. When he arrived here, he was suddenly attacked by someone, but he saw Ouyang Qing.

The two of them have done it several times, and it can be said that they have formed a bond. But the events of that day were to testify to Lu Changfeng, and now he would rather admit that he was deceived by Luo Bing, and what he did was naturally ridiculous.

Chu Qiushui didn't know that Ouyang Qing was injured, although he felt that the power of that palm was mediocre, he still didn't dare to underestimate it, and he was deeply vigilant.

Ouyang Qing remembered that Chu Qiuyan still needed the help of the Heavenly Demon, his heart calmed down slightly, and he said in a deep voice: "Brother Chu, you have come all the way to the Northern Frontier, but is there anything important?"

Chu Qiushui responded: "I'm here to kill Luo Bing." ”

Ouyang Qing nodded and said, "In this way, we can be regarded as like-minded. Thinking about it, he suddenly showed a look of ecstasy on his face, took a deep look, and said: "Brother Chu, there is one thing, please help, and please don't refuse." ”

Since Chu Qiushui had a feud with Luo Bing, he felt that it was very inappropriate to do it with the Heavenly Demon and his party many times, and he felt guilty, and when he heard this, he also nodded and said: "Brother Ouyang said that as long as he can use it at the top, he will definitely help from below." ”

Ouyang Qing saw that Chu Qiushui was speaking humbly, and knew that he had asked the Heavenly Demon for Chu Qiuyan's matter, and immediately rejoiced in his heart, and said, "The next woman in my heart was captured by the Yue Clan Army as a princess, and I hope that Brother Chu will help rescue her." ”

Chu Qiushui couldn't help frowning when he saw the vast Yue Clan army below, "There are so many people...... What is Brother Ouyang's plan?"

Ouyang Qing said in a deep voice: "Now that I am injured, my martial arts have been greatly reduced, and it is impossible to attack head-on, maybe I will hurt Xiao Yue instead." Please go down from the hillside, go in a circle, attack the Yue army from behind, attract the attention of the other party, and then I will find a way to sneak in from the front, and leave after saving people. We meet in the north. ”

Chu Qiushui nodded and said, "It's feasible." I'll do it. ”

Ouyang Qing grabbed him and said, "Ordinary soldiers, with Brother Chu's martial arts, don't take it seriously. But there is a soldier of the Yue Clan, his martial arts are extremely high, and he is not under you and me, if you meet this person in the chaotic army, you must avoid it, don't be a tough enemy, otherwise it will be dangerous. ”

Chu Qiushui said strangely: "In the Yue Clan's army, is there such a person?"

Ouyang Qing shook his head and said, "I don't know where he came from. But he seems to be from the Central Plains. ”

The monk looked at Xiao Yue who was tied to him, and muttered: "What should I do with this princess of the Tang Dynasty?"

When the king of the Yue clan ordered the three armies to go out on that day, he had secretly discussed the matter of dealing with the princess with Yexian.

The king of the Yue clan knew the meaning of the king of the northern frontier, and he was also shrewd in dealing with people, and he had a plan in his heart, but he did not inform his subordinates.

Now that the commander has died in battle, although everyone is headed by the national teacher, they don't know what to do for a while.

The national teacher only felt that it was not to kill, nor was it to let go, and the princess who had worked so hard to get it back became a hot potato, adding a lot of troubles.

Xiao Yue's cold eyes swept over, making him feel uncertain for a while.

A general shouted: "Your Excellency, in my opinion, you should use the princess as a military prostitute, first, to sweep away the face of the Tang Dynasty, and secondly, to deter the north." ”

The national teacher was furious, shook his head and said, "No." Whether it is a war or a war, we don't know. This move greatly offended the north and the south, and if it instead allowed the north and the Tang Dynasty to form an alliance because of this, wouldn't it be self-defeating?"

The general smiled and said, "National teacher, you are too worried. We have been here for three days, and we can see that half of the northern soldiers have come to harass us? Even if this peace is successful, the north will only help each other, and will never fight against us for the sake of a mere Tang Dynasty princess. We all know the ability to return to the house. The north had already made up his mind to stay out of the matter, and wanted to see me and the Tang Dynasty lose both, so he would sit back and reap the benefits of the fisherman. Now that he has returned to the Tang Dynasty and attacked the northeast of the Tang Dynasty, our Yue clan has also sent an army, and there are Japanese pirates in the south of the Tang Dynasty, and the border defense in the north is exhausted, but the north has always refused to send half a reinforcement, which is the reason. ”

The national teacher nodded, but still hesitated: "It's too much to be a military prostitute." When it comes to deterrent effectiveness, it is not as good as killing them on the spot. ”

The general pondered for a moment and said, "That's a good thing. So we set up a stand and burned the princess in public. There are still some Tang troops hidden in the mountains, and it is not a way for us to consume them like this, maybe this can force out the Tang army. Even if they still can't shrink back, and the princess of the Celestial Empire is burned to death here, it is a dead end for them to return to Luoyang, and they may surrender. ”

The national teacher praised: "Clever plan, wonderful plan" turned around and said: "Come on, build a high platform on the spot, to be two zhang high, we will burn the princess of the Tang Dynasty on it"

The soldiers of the Yue clan lost their troops this time, several leaders died, and more than half of the soldiers were also killed or wounded. The sergeants were already resentful, and when they heard that the princess was going to be burned, they all rejoiced.

Many people immediately started to find wood and stone and build high platforms.

Xiao Yue Muran looked at the national teacher without any trepidation. When the national teacher saw that the princess was a woman, she was so bold, but she secretly admired it.
