"The adults are clever, and the small ones admire, admire. The man flattered. At this time, the people who looked like the people before really returned to the mansion, whispered to Huo Xiaohuang's side, Huo Xiaohuang waved his hand, signaling him to retreat, and after the surrounding attendants retreated, Huo Xiaohuang stood alone in the hall, half-tilted his head, closed his eyes slightly, and said slowly: "Everything is under control." ”

And that Chu Qing'an Pegasus was a little relieved when he left the south gate of Luoyan Mansion, and he always felt that someone was following him in the city, and this feeling was gradually diluted until he left the city, and the blood sun was sinking in the west, adding a little loneliness to the bleak scenery of the Biansai Wasteland, looking back at the Luoyan Mansion behind him, there were already a few wisps of cooking smoke rising in the Luoyan Mansion behind him, Chu Qingan sighed on horseback, and said worriedly: "I don't know what the situation is with Brother Xue." Thinking of this, she realized that she had to get the Snow Rock Cultivation Cloud Grass as soon as possible and heal Dao Xueke's internal injuries in order to help him take revenge.

Riding horses and whips, horses screaming sadly, wishing Qingqiu to go away from the dust, running to the top of the mountains and the foothills.

The breeze hit the valley, Chu Qing'an finally returned to the three broken houses, and the thin horse was also exhausted, but this place was barren, and there was not much food for people, and how much could fill the horse's stomach?

Xuanyi was helping the old man fetch water, and the old man was irrigating the few acres of land that was about to dry up, carefully caring for the precious grain as gold. Seeing Chu Qing'an returning quickly, he happily put down the bucket in his hand, waved at Chu Qing'an, and said, "Sister Qing'an, Sister Qing'an, you're back!"

Chu Qingan turned over and dismounted, tied the horse to the fence by the vegetable field, and the neighbor's two sheep were still bleating. Hearing Xuanyi greet her, she smiled casually and returned the salute, went to the house to take out the baggage, took out a piece of bread, broke it and scattered it at the feet of the thin horse. The horse lowered his head and sniffed, curled up his tongue and licked it, and then raised his head again, refusing to eat the dry food. And Chu Qing'an stroked its horsehair and sighed: "Eat, eat, if you are lucky enough to return to the Central Plains, I will definitely take good care of you in the future, but there is only this food left in front of you, so you will just do it." ”

The horse, who seemed to be very human, neighed when he heard the words, hung his head again, and took a small bite of the loaf of bread. Xuanyi saw that she had something in her heart, and it was not easy to write clearly, so she said cautiously: "Sister Qing'an, otherwise, tonight's plan will be canceled for the time being, the palace is heavily guarded, even if I am familiar with the terrain, the probability of success is ......" "No!" Chu Qing'an grabbed the reins of the horse, turned around and said resolutely, "The plan must not be canceled! Brother Xue is still waiting for me to take the Snow Rock Cloud Cultivation Grass back to the Central Plains!"

Her eyes were already full of tears, and Xuanyi couldn't help but tremble, Chu Qing'an lowered her head, and then said, "If you are afraid, you don't have to go with me." This has nothing to do with you, and you don't need to go to danger with me, I will go to the palace of the Eagle Clan alone, even if it is death, I will bring that Snow Rock Cultivation Cloud Grass back to the Central Plains!"

"What are these words, since this is the case, then it will be carried out according to the original plan!" Xuan Yi was a little unconvinced, she had never been afraid of life and death, "After midnight tonight, when the palace guards changed shifts, I will go up the mountain with my sister, and my sister will only wait outside the palace to answer, I will enter the inner courtyard of the palace alone at night, and I will definitely be able to steal the snow rock cloud cultivation grass!"

The two girls looked at each other and smiled, and said no more, just waiting for night to fall.

Before the time came, the second daughter set off to the mountain. The bottom of the mountain has long been lonely, the lights have been extinguished, and everything is silent. The two didn't dare to turn on the lights, so they had to grope up the mountain by the moonlight. The Chaoying clan has a large population, but there is not much land to live in, a palace occupies most of the land, and the princes and ministers, civil and military officials occupy a large area of land, as well as military camps, training grounds, almost all the land on the top of the mountains is occupied, and the people have no homes, so they have to join the army, so they have a place to live.

More people live in the corners or on the sides of the mountain road up the mountain, in fact, they have long been dissatisfied in their hearts. The more the two of them walked up the mountain, the more and more people came, but when it was approaching, most of them also rested. When you walk to a pass, it is the pass that separates the common people from the residence of the royal family. At this time, it was just in time for the change of guards, the original guards had just retreated, and the guards who had changed shifts had not yet arrived, so there was this vacancy.

Standing in front of the pass, Xuanyi softly pointed out the way for Chu Qing'an: "Further forward is where the palace is located, to the east is the residence of the emperor's relatives, to the west is where the civil and military officials are located, all around are military camps, and to the north are the common people." If you want to infiltrate the palace, this is the best time to do it!"

Chu Qing'an nodded and said, "Okay! I'll go in!" After that, he was about to jump over the rejection horse in front of the pass, but was pulled by Xuanyi, Chu Qing'an asked: "What are you doing?" Xuanyi hurriedly said: "Didn't you say that I would enter the palace alone, and my sister was still outside to respond." "But ......" Chu Qing'an wanted to say more, but was interrupted by Xuanyi: "Don't miss the opportunity, the time will not come again." If you miss the hour, you will be afraid that it will be difficult to enter the palace again. Didn't we say it yesterday? Or my sister is out to answer and let me enter the palace!"

"That's fine. Chu Qing'an had to compromise after thinking twice, this is also the safest and only way in front of him, with Chu Qing'an's own light skills, he is afraid that he will be discovered by the patrolling guards before he enters the palace, "Even if I am outside, I should be outside the palace, not here." Xuanyi thought for a moment when he heard this, and then said: "There is a cemetery outside the west wall of the palace, and the courtyard is the burial place of the ancestors of our clan, and the forest in the garden is lush, and in order to make the sages quiet, all our people are not allowed to approach on weekdays, and Sister Qing'an is a Han Chinese, so naturally there is no need to follow." If my sister doesn't dislike it, please hide in the mausoleum temporarily, I will steal the snow rock and cultivate the cloud grass with three incense sticks, if I haven't come out after the three incense sticks, please ask my sister to go down the mountain quickly, don't care about me. ”

Having said that, how could Chu Qing'an turn a deaf ear to Xuanyi's life and death? But in order to make her feel at ease, Chu Qing'an had to agree. The two of them jumped over the horse, rolled on the ground for a few weeks, and then jumped up, tiptoeing close to the palace.

At this time, the footsteps of the changing guards and patrol soldiers could be heard in unison, and the two of them held their breath and moved inch by inch against the wall. The palace of the Chaoying Clan was in front of him, Chu Qingan couldn't help laughing, and then covered his mouth with his hand, for fear that he would make another sound.

Xuanyi tilted his head and asked suspiciously, "Why is my sister laughing?" Looking at the so-called palace in front of him, Chu Qing'an's eyebrows were full of smiles, and he said softly: "Although I haven't been to my palace in the Central Plains, I have also been to the mansion of Donglin Mansion and the mansion of the Tanglin Prince's Mansion. Isn't it that your saint is also a good emperor who is diligent and thrifty?"

Xuanyi blushed when she heard this, and her eyes showed a trace of grief and resentment: "Where did my sister say, the Chaoying Clan is just a barbarian in the eyes of the Central Plains people, the Chaoying Clan is barren, the people are barbaric, and naturally there is not much sense of enjoyment." We have been living all our lives to compete for a wider and better land, even this palace, which is a little unbearable in the eyes of you Central Plains people, has been built by the painstaking efforts of the Chaoying clan for several generations. ”

The resentment in that tone pierced deeply into the softness of Chu Qing'an's heart, and she realized her gaffe, so she silently held Xuanyi's hand, and said with a guilty face: "I'm sorry Xuanyi, I forgot that you are also from the Chaoying Clan......"

Xuanyi smiled disappreciatively: "Sister is polite, sister don't care, I am indeed no longer a member of the Chaoying Clan, I want to be a Han person, I will die of old age and illness in the Middle Plains, and I have no regrets in this life." ”

Chu Qing'an saw that the atmosphere was a little too tense and depressed, so he joked as soon as he had an idea: "That's not good, when you go back to the Central Plains with me, I will definitely find a good family to marry you!"

Xuanyi also smiled and said, "Sister, let's worry about myself first." As soon as these words came out, both women laughed softly. Bypassing the palace, Chu Qing'an followed Xuanyi's instructions to the cemetery, and saw that Chu Qing'an had found a hiding place, and the footsteps of the patrolling soldiers came from the corner, Xuanyi grabbed the hem of the black robe with both hands, and flew up the wall with a "poof", riding on the wall to observe the orders and movements of the soldiers in the palace.

"As I expected, this is the time for the rotation of soldiers, and God really helps me. Xuanyi flew into the palace, saw the patrol soldiers coming, jumped up on the ground, climbed on the edge of the octagonal pavilion with his hand, turned over and landed on the top of the octagonal pavilion, stuck to the pavilion, and avoided the group of soldiers. Finding the right time, he stepped on the corner of the pavilion, flew up, his arms outstretched, and the pitch-black figure stepped on a silver moonlight and flew by, landing on the roof directly above the group of heroes.

The toes touched lightly on the tiles, leaving no trace or making a sound, and ran straight towards the inner courtyard of the palace. Unlike Luo Baiyi's clouded leopard long wind step, Luo Baiyi's light skills focus on speed, while Xuanyi's light skills pay more attention to dexterity and lightness. He tumbled down the roof and was about to hit the ground, but he saw a group of guards walking not far away, clinging to the eaves with his right hand, hanging sideways by the eaves, swinging downward, turning over, hiding on the beams of the cloister, using his hands and feet together, holding the beams.

When the guards walked through the corridor, they did not notice anything strange above their heads, and when they were far away, they fell to the ground, and ran quickly towards the corner. A hundred steps or so to the west is the herb storehouse, and the snow rock and cloud grass must be hidden in the storehouse. Xuanyi didn't dare to slack off, seeing that there were no guards in front of the library, and a large brass lock was tied in front of the vermilion door. Although Xuanyi can't be unlocked, who said that you have to enter the house through the door?

Xuanyi jumped on the roof, squatted on top of the warehouse, lifted a few tiles, piled them aside, and took out a fire fold from his arms, carefully observed it by the light of the fire, and confirmed that there was no one in the warehouse, so he put his mind at ease and jumped into the warehouse. The ground was silent, the faint light of the fire reflected the surrounding environment, and I saw that the room was surrounded by vermilion cabinets, each of which was marked with a gilded sign indicating the name of the herb.

After looking at about twenty or thirty cabinets, none of them were the snow rock cultivating cloud grass, and Xuanyi's heart became more and more nervous. The palms began to sweat, the hands holding the fire folds also trembled a little, the beating flames disappeared little by little, Xuanyi's heart rose higher and higher, and there was silence all around, only the heartbeat of the chest was like a drumbeat, which made Xuanyi sweat profusely. From time to time, he always looked back at the door of the storeroom, as if it would be opened in the next moment.

The sound of buzzing gradually sounded in his ears, and a sound of footsteps passed by the warehouse, which made Xuanyi's right hand shake, and the fire fold in his hand also rolled to the ground, Xuanyi subconsciously covered his mouth, so he didn't scream. Seeing that the fire was about to be extinguished, Xuanyi hurriedly stepped forward to pick her up, and carefully protected it with her hands, so that the restless flame could be separated. Xuanyi breathed a long sigh of relief, and gently wiped the sweat from his forehead with the cuff of his left hand, and the firelight reflected the cabinet in front of him, which read: "Snow Rock Cultivating Cloud Grass"!

"It's really hard to find a place to step on the iron shoes, and it doesn't take any effort to get there!" Xuan Yi couldn't help but be a little surprised, so he opened the cabinet, and sure enough, there was a snow rock cloud cultivation grass lying in it. Before leaving, Chu Qing'an had shown her the portrait of the snow rock cultivating cloud grass recorded in the "Jishi Green Bag", held the fire in his mouth, held the extremely precious herb in the palms of his hands, and took a closer look: the white flowers are weak and dotted with stars, the jade is yellowed and lined with calyx branches, and it is really tough to be born in the rock, and the wind and snow are full of integrity.

Xuanyi was afraid of destroying the delicate petals of the snow rock cloud cultivation grass, carefully put the herbs in his arms, looked up at the roof that had been lifted off the tiles, at this time there was not much moonlight refracted in, it seemed that it was approaching, Xuanyi jumped up, drilled out of the roof, leaned over and landed on the roof, put the tiles back in place, smiled slightly, and turned over and got off the roof.

As soon as she landed, she panicked at what she saw, and she couldn't help but take a half step back, clinging to the door of the storeroom. It turned out that the outside of the treasury had long been surrounded by heavy soldiers, and the front of him was full of heavily armored shield-holding guards of the Chaoying Clan, surrounding the Xuanyi. And when the group of guards dispersed, Emperor Zhongping laughed loudly and walked over, facing the stunned Xuanyi, his face full of disdain and ridicule. Only then did Xuanyi realize that he had been tricked, so he asked, "You expected me to come back?"

"Not bad. Emperor Zhongping stood with his hands in his hands and said slowly, "Although I don't know why you will come back, I expect you to come." And it must have been when the guards in the inner courtyard of the palace changed the guard, and the guards were at their weakest. The people of the Central Plains are very good at strategy, and if I want to conquer the Central Plains, I naturally need to learn more. This trick will be calculated, please enter the urn, how to use it? I have been waiting for you for a long time. On the surface, the palace is as lax as ever, but secretly your every step is under my watchful eye. ”

"Hmph, just by you, if you still want to conquer the Central Plains, it's just a fool's dream!" Xuan Yi sneered and sneered.

Emperor Zhongping was furious when he heard this, and said sharply: "You traitor, you are flamboyant, you are full of nonsense, and you are bewitching the people! You have actually committed the following crimes, entered the palace at night, and plotted against you! The great crime is in your body, and the crime should be punished, and you are innocent of death! Come on, arrest this traitor of the Chaoying clan! Tomorrow, gather hundreds of civil and military officials, block the presence of the princes and ministers, and execute her Ling Chi!"

"No!" the guards replied in unison, and the guards who were close still wanted to go forward to catch the Xuanyi, but Xuanyi broke off and shouted, "Wait!"

"Do you have any last words?" asked Emperor Zhongping.

Xuanyi looked at the sanctimonious Emperor Zhongping, and said with a sneer: "I am not a traitor to the Chaoying Clan, you are a traitor." You have betrayed the people of the Eagle Clan, you have betrayed the people of the Eagle Clan, and you have betrayed the sages of the Eagle Clan. You will never conquer the Central Plains because you are not worthy. I have never regretted that I am a member of the Eagle Clan, and I regret that I chose an emperor like you!"

"Bold! come on, catch her for me!" Emperor Zhongping was furious, but Xuan Yi's few words completely angered him, and he wanted to kill him quickly. Xuanyi snorted lightly again, flew up, and wanted to escape from here, and Emperor Zhongping shouted violently: "Archer!" The heavily armored guards behind him scattered and rushed out of a team of archers, who were already ready to fly, just waiting for Emperor Zhongping to give an order. "Arrows!" Whoosh hundreds of arrows shot towards Xuanyi in an instant, the meteor-like arrows pierced the sky, drew countless arcs, and fell downward, a few arrows pierced Xuanyi's left arm, and a few arrows pierced his right arm, nailing Xuanyi firmly to the door panel of the warehouse.

The whole person was hung in mid-air, unable to go up or down, Xuanyi raised his head and sighed: "Sister Qing'an, Xuanyi is sorry for you." Big brother, second brother, Xiaoyi is here to see you. Those arrows fell, either nailed to the door panel, or pierced into the delicate skin of Xuanyi, and the red blood soon dyed Xuanyi's black robe scarlet, and the blood dripped down the corners of the clothes to the ground, and Xuanyi's breath was intermittent, and he was already dying.

The Snow Rock Cloud Cultivation Grass in his arms also fell to the ground, soaked in a pool of blood, and the snow-white petals were dyed red with blood. Emperor Zhongping walked slowly, stepping on the blood of Xuanyi, the pungent smell of blood permeated the air, leaned over and picked up the scarlet snow rock Xiuyun grass, Emperor Zhongping shook his head and said: "Enter the palace at night, do not hesitate to die, just for this herb, why bother, why bother?"

"You ...... forever Never...... Got it...... Friendship, what an important thing......" Xuanyi is covered in blood, but he still has the strength to satirize Emperor Zhongping. Emperor Zhongping was furious, turned around and brushed his sleeves away, and when he left, he smashed a sentence and said: "I want to see if your so-called friendship is worth your life one by one!

The steel knife glowing with cold light easily penetrated Xuanyi's thin body, and the last trace of qi also drifted away. The moment Xuanyi closed his eyes again, he vaguely saw the brothers and sisters of the ten warriors of the Chaoying Clan standing in front of him, and there was a smile on the corner of Xuanyi's mouth, and he closed his eyes.

"Big brother, Xiaoyi has come to see you......"
