At noon the next day, outside the city. Cao Shubao hurried overnight, sleepy and tired, but in order to return to Fuzhou as soon as possible, he did not plan to enter the city, and on the official road ten miles outside the city, there was only one Avenue Inn. Cao Shubao instructed the shopkeeper to feed the horses with grass and water, hastily ate a bowl of hand-held noodles, packed a pile of Donghe meatloaf, and went into the guest room to rest for two or three hours before hurrying.

"Hey...... Wake up!"

Just as Cao Shubao was falling asleep, he felt that someone was shaking his arm, he suddenly woke up, got up, and opened his eyes wide to see that it was Chu Miyun.

"I almost didn't recognize it, why do you look embarrassed, what does it smell like on your body, you haven't taken a shower for a few days!" Cao Shubao looked at Chu Miyun, who was greasy and covered in stinky sweat, tilted his head back, covered his nose and said.

Seeing this, Chu Miyun hurriedly raised his two arms and sniffed left and right, then squatted down and said, "Young Master Cao, what do you still say, if it weren't for Wen Taizhen's flying pigeon messenger telling me a few days ago, saying that you are in trouble, if you rush back to Fuzhou, it will definitely be too late, so let me rush to your hometown in advance to get the Qingyu Sword, otherwise, how could I do this?"

As he spoke, Chu Miyun untied a strip of about four and a half feet from his back, put it on the table, opened the strip of cloth with both hands, and revealed a sword inside, with the word "Qingyu" inlaid with gold on the target.

"Ah, you have taken the green sword...... Cao Shubao saw it, immediately got up, picked up the sword and examined it carefully, and said with appreciation, "Yang Qihua is as quenched as a hibiscus from the beginning; looking at its rhinium, it is as bright as the stars and its light, it is as deep as water overflowing in a pond, it is as strict as a trivial stone, and it is as radiant as an ice release." Sure enough, it's my family's ancestral peerless sword!"

"Of course, can I Chu Miyun still use a fake to fool people?" Chu Miyun was proud, then touched his stomach and said, "Do you have anything to eat here, you are in a hurry, and you haven't eaten lunch yet!"

Cao Shubao collected the green stalks, then brought him the Donghe meatloaf in the baggage, poured him a bowl of tea, and said gratefully, "Thank you for your hard work, Chu Miyun!"

"Hey, don't say it...... When this matter passes, you have to mention it to Grandma Cao and give me a salary increase!" Chu Miyun took a big bite of the meatloaf and said.

"Is my grandmother okay?" Cao Shubao said with a concerned expression.

"Okay, her old man only met me last year, but I didn't expect that she remembered me as soon as I entered the door! She also said, now most of your Cao family's old mansion are old and weak, women and children, and everyone is old, so let me be your Cao family's housekeeper, do you think her old man's vision is very good......" Chu Miyun said while chewing on the meatloaf.

"Okay......" Cao Shubao smiled and nodded.

"What about my salary increase?" Chu Miyun took a sip of tea and asked.

"What's the salary increase...... Okay!" Cao Shubao stood up and paced with a little worry, "However, you have to go back to Fuzhou to watch!"

"Are you worried that those killers will be unfavorable to Grandma Cao?" Chu Miyun said.

"Hmm!" Cao Shubao nodded, and continued, "Then I'll rush back to Xiuhu Villa first, and when the matter in front of me is resolved, I will rush back to Fuzhou to meet you!"

Chu Miyun saw that Cao Shubao was holding the sword, grabbed his luggage and was about to go out, so he raised his hand holding half of the meatloaf and waved, and replied, "You can rest assured, I, Chu Miyun, have you ever been disappointed?"

"You, let's find a time to take a shower, don't smoke the old grandmother!" Cao Shubao turned around and choked, and went out on his own.

"Does it smell so bad?" Chu Miyun sniffed his armpits again, it was okay not to sniff, he lost his appetite this time, and almost spit out all the Donghe meatloaf he had just eaten, and quickly put down the meatloaf in his hand.

Late at night, the quiet lake of the bamboo sea in Nanshan is a small building. As soon as Shentu Weilan woke up, she got up and wanted to leave. Tao Shiheng, who was leaning on the bamboo chair, grabbed her hand.

"You have a fever..."

"Let me go, I shouldn't stay here, and I don't need the enemy's mercy......" Shentu Shentu Weilan tried hard to break away from his hand, but fainted all at once.

"Shentu girl!" Tao Shiheng picked up Shentu Weilan, grabbed the long sword and ran out of the bamboo forest.

The night was dark, and the mountains and forests in the distance were hazy in the clouds. In the town, only a few lanterns are faintly visible.

"Is there anyone, the doctor opens the door!" Tao Shiheng hugged the person and ran straight to the Qinshou Medical Center in the town, which was the only medical center in the town.

He didn't care whether it would be thirty-seven twenty-one or not, and knocked on the door of the medical hall with his elbow, "Doctor, open the door!"

"Come on, why are there still people coming in the middle of the night..."The doctor of the medical hall, rubbing his eyes with one hand, yawning, put on a coat, took off a wooden board that sealed the door, and said lazily.

"Doctor, save her!" Tao Shiheng turned the blue-faced Shentu Weilan in his arms to him.

"Yo, come in!" the doctor knew that the patient was seriously ill, so he took down two planks at once and let them in.

"She had a very serious internal injury before, why did you send her here now?" said the doctor, "I haven't been treated properly, and now it's getting worse, I'm afraid...... There's nothing I can do!"

Bang, Tao Shiheng smashed the tea table with one palm, and the doctor was so frightened that he was clever. Shentu Weilan also became conscious, she only vaguely saw Tao Shiheng holding the doctor's neckline, his face was cold, and he said fiercely, "If you don't cure her, I will kill you......" and fell asleep again.

"I took the drug and finally saved her life, and I must be careful in the future. But you see, she just refuses to drink the medicine......" The doctor looked at Tao Shiheng helplessly.

Tao Shiheng's ears twitched, and he said to the doctor, "There are many people here, and they are here to kill us!"

"Ah...... So, what should I do?" the doctor panicked.

"If you want to live, hurry up and go through the back door!" Tao Shiheng said with certainty.

"Alright then!" the doctor handed the decoction and left on his own.

"Drink the medicine, why don't you drink it?" Tao Shiheng took the decoction and sent it to Shentu Weilan.

"Why did you save me, why didn't you let me die?" she felt helpless, she couldn't beat me, she couldn't run, and she couldn't love her life.

"You want revenge, if you die, how can you kill me?" Tao Shiheng's face was indifferent, and he continued, "The people from the Qingcheng faction have killed me, I'm afraid they have already gone downstairs." ”

"The Qingcheng faction wants to kill me, it's to clean up the portal, you have no right to interfere, you go, I don't want you to care!" Shentu Weilan looked at this cold man, and she also coldly agreed.

"What are you going to do...... Let me go... You let go of me!" Before she could finish speaking, she was picked up tightly by Tao Shiheng and walked out of the house.

"Give it to me!" Outside the door of the medical hall, there were twenty or thirty red-clothed figures, all of them were disciples of the Qingcheng Sect, and with a Sichuan voice, several red-clothed people brandished their swords and rushed into the hall.

Boom, Tao Shiheng kicked off a wooden table, slammed into the door panel of the medical hall, forced back a few people in red, and walked out with Shentu Weilan in his arms, and saw Xiao Dushui and Mao Xuewang holding torches and leading more than 20 people outside.

"Put down my junior sister!" roared with a Sichuan dialect face.

"Since you announced that she betrayed the master and handed her over to you, she must be dead!" Tao Shiheng glanced at her struggling in his arms, and said to Xiao Dushui.

"My junior sister's life or death is a matter for our Qingcheng faction, let her go, you roll!" Mao Xuewang continued.

"Let go of me, let go of my ......" Seeing Shentu Weilan in his arms pleading hard, Tao Shiheng decided to put her down.

Just as he bent down and put Shentu Weilan down against the door of the medical hall, Xiao Dushui stabbed him behind with a sword!

Tao Shiheng pulled his right hand, the long sword rotated to open Xiao Dushui's sword, and got up and kicked another Qingcheng disciple from the front to the ground, looking around at the red-clothed man with a cold face, "I don't want to kill the people of the Qingcheng faction again, if you are interested, hurry up and give me ......"

Well, just as Tao Shiheng spoke, Xiao Dushui stabbed Shentu Weilan with a sword from behind, and at the same time, the Qingcheng disciple who had just fallen to the ground also got up and stabbed Tao Shiheng with a sword!

Shentu Weilan was also shocked, she didn't expect that the senior brother she had always respected would not only slander herself, but also kill herself with her own hands in order to kill Tao Shiheng.

Tao Shiheng's eyes burst with cold light, his right hand pulled out Xiyu, and his left hand held the scabbard and stabbed at his side. The scabbard pierced into the heart of the disciple of Hou Qingcheng and penetrated behind him, and Mao Xuewang behind him was stunned for a moment. And Xiao Dushui's right hand holding the sword had fallen to the ground not far away, and he cried and rushed towards Tao Shiheng with a torch in his left hand, and at the same time, two Qingcheng disciples attacked from the side.

As soon as the wind and water started, and when he turned around and waved, the two red-clothed men who came forward were blocked by the red line, and with a backhand sword roll, the pear blossom stabbed Xiao Dushui in the chest.

Shentu Weilan saw that in an instant, the stone steps and the ground had been dyed scarlet, and her hands trembled to cover her face, and her eyes fell on the back of the white clothes.

Tao Shiheng raised his eyes to look around at the remaining red-clothed people around him, and saw Mao Xuewang stretching out his hand in panic to stop everyone from making a move, before he returned the shock to the sheath.

Shentu Weilan saw the back of the white clothes slowly turn around, and her grim face was as if they had met for the first time...... He held out a hand. She looked him in the eye and, without refusing, got up and reached out to take him. The two of them left like this, walking towards Jinghu Xiaozhu, leaving behind a Qingcheng disciple who abandoned the sword and regretted it......

Early in the morning, Tao Shiheng boiled the medicine, put the medicine bowl next to the bed, and waited for Shentu Weilan to wake up and drink it by himself after a while, and then walked out of the door by himself.

Tao Shiheng led the horse to the shallows by the quiet lake, and brushed the horse shirtless. Shentu Weilan quietly propped herself up in front of the window, looking at this man, she smiled quietly, very happy. She knew this feeling, and when she first saw him, it began to sprout in her heart, like a bean sprout, slowly breaking through the ground. Now, she is not allowed by her teacher, and the man in front of her seems to have become her only support. In this way, after two days without a word, Shentu Weilan turned out several of his clothes, carefully sewed them with needles and threads, and then washed them to dry.

Early this morning, Tao Shiheng went out to buy supplies and came back, only to see his clothes and quilts neatly in the house, and a note on the table, "I shouldn't stay here, I can't kill you anymore, and if I get along with you, I will only fall deeper and deeper!" Tao Shiheng put down the note and turned around and chased out the door.

"Xiahousha, why are you here?" As soon as Shentu Weilan arrived outside the bamboo forest, she saw Xiahousha coming with her head down.

"I heard that someone from the Qingcheng faction died in the town yesterday, I guess something must have happened to you, so come and take a look......" Xiahou Sha stepped forward, pulled a few bamboo leaves with one hand and tore them off with both hands.

"I... It's okay. Wen Taizhen, shouldn't you go with him?" said Shen Tu Weilan, diverting the topic.

"Wen Taizhen disappeared when he got up that morning, leaving only a note saying that I should wait for him to come back......" Xiahou Sha shook her head and looked at the bamboo leaves in her hand, raised her head and asked, "Miss Shentu, where are you going?"

"I've decided to leave Shizumi Kozuki. Shentu Azure looked at the ethereal sky.

"You're gone, but your heart is still here!" Xia Housha laughed.

"Don't say any more, I've already decided......" Shentu Weilan turned her face forward and started to leave.

"Don't lie to yourself, this is whether you dare to hate or not to love!" Xia Housha took her hand and said sincerely, "You used to hate him and wanted to kill him, but you can't deny that you have fallen in love with him!"

"Don't say any more......" Shentu Weilan stopped, grabbed a bamboo tree with her other hand, and picked her nails back and forth.

"You just don't want to accept the facts! Don't you think it's a pity to walk away, it's unfair to both parties?" Xia Housha walked up to her, looked at her and said, "Actually, you are much happier than me, Tao Shiheng has always been ruthless, but he can do so much for you, it can be seen that his iceberg heart has been melted by you......"

Seeing her hesitation, Xia Housha continued, "If Wen Taizhen can be like him, he will definitely not leave me alone and leave alone!"

"That's right, Xiahousha is right, I won't let you go alone!" Tao Shiheng just caught up and said firmly.

"You two should have just left, it's me who should leave!" Xia Housha looked at the two people who were looking deeply at each other in front of her, and turned to leave.

Jinghu Xiaozhu, Tao Shiheng looked at the lake and was distracted, and at this moment his mind flashed the widow Li of Qingcheng Mountain Noodle Restaurant, and what she said to himself.

"What are you thinking?" said Shentu Weilan stepped forward and looked at his face.

"Think about something you've never thought about before!" Tao Shiheng replied as he looked at her.

Shentu Weilan seemed to understand his thoughts, nodded and said, "Are you ready to go out?"

"Well, I promised Wen Taizhen that day that I would face the matter of the killers of the Yupu Regiment with him, and go to Beijing to expose the conspiracy of the Snow Wolf Kingdom to the imperial court. Tao Shiheng stated truthfully.

"If you think it's right, just do it!" Shen Tu Weilan looked at him and encouraged.

"Don't worry, I'll be back soon. Tao Shiheng promised lightly.

"I understand, I'll wait for you to come back!" Shen Tu Weilan looked at him and nodded and turned away, trying to remind him to pay attention to safety, but he stopped talking...... She understood that this man would be the man he loved dearly in his life.

In the Xiuhu Garden in Hangzhou, Sima Ru sat in the attic eating lunch, while Daju sat on the balcony railing and drank wine.

"You can still eat so deliciously, hum, the five-day deadline has passed, and Cao Shubao won't come back!"

"He promised me, I believe him!" Sima Ru didn't even look at him.

"I really don't understand, how can you, a dignified princess, like a man who is greedy for life and afraid of death?" Daju sneered and walked to the table and sat down.

"You actually know my identity, so your purpose is actually me, so why do you have to wait for Cao Shubao to come back?" Sima Ru was surprised and puzzled.

"Hahaha......" Daju laughed wildly, and then said arrogantly, "Our group leader said that the princess will bring it back, and Cao Shubao will also kill ......"

"Your Excellency wants to kill me, you can try it and see if you have that ability!" Cao Shubao suddenly landed on the attic balcony and said contemptuously.

"Shubao, are you back?" Sima Ru rushed over and grabbed his hand.

"I said I would come back, and I will definitely come back. Cao Shubao looked at Sima Ru and said.

"Hmph!" Daju put the wine jug on the table, "It seems that the princess's vision is really good, then I will fulfill you to be a pair of outlaw mandarin ducks!"

"It seems that it's time to settle the account between us!" Cao Shubao said with sharp eyes.

Under the attic, the two began to confront each other, and Sima Ru was nervously watching Cao Shubao in the attic. Daju holds the hilt of the sword with both hands, standing with the sword erected on his right shoulder, Cao Shubao holds the short sword in his left hand, and holds the hilt of the sword with his right backhand.

"Ahh Daju swung his sword to block the short sword, and a dash attacked Cao Shubao's left abdomen. I didn't want the short sword to whirl around and fly back from behind Daju, and cut a half-foot cut on Daju's right shoulder.

"Hmph" Cao Shubao sneered, jumped sideways and opened the big sword, caught the short sword with his left hand, and landed on the top of the pavilion. Then he swirled the dagger and swung it at the gritted teeth.

"Do you think the same trick will work?" Daju roared angrily, and with all his strength he split the flying short sword into three pieces, and the handle fell to the ground, the middle part bounced towards Cao Shubao on the pavilion, and the end section was inserted into the attic pillar.

Cao Shubao immediately jumped down from the gap, took out the Qingyu sword with his right hand and slashed at Daju's head, and with his left hand, he caught a section of the broken sword and ejected at the same time, directly taking Daju's abdomen.

Wow, Daju blocked the green sword with both hands, his vision was blocked, and he couldn't avoid the broken sword, "Uh!"

Uncle Cao's body method does not stop, and at the same time he falls and kicks his chest with both feet, and he wants to break the net and stab out a loose wind!

Oh, Cao Shubao flicked the big moment sword away with the four fingers of his left hand, and kicked heavily towards the broken sword on the attic pillar.

"Ah...... You, you can actually snap your fingers......" Daju was pierced through his chest by the broken sword, and he was surprised when the sword in his hand landed.

"Hmph, you may have forgotten, Mrs. Wen is really my friend!" Cao Shubao took one last look at Daju and withdrew his sword.

The unwilling Sanbai stared at him, grabbed the broken sword pierced through his chest with both hands, his body twitched, and he shuddered.

In the attic, Sima Ru poured a cup of tea for Cao Shubao.

"Now I really want to treat Wen Taizhen to a drink," Cao Shubao took the teacup and said with a smile, "This time I was able to defeat Daju so easily, thanks to him teaching me the magic method of snapping his fingers, and also asked Chu Miyun to help me get the Qingyu Sword from Fuzhou in advance, otherwise it would be difficult for me to rush back as scheduled." Chu Miyun too, he is now helping me take care of my grandmother and aunt in my hometown. ”

"These two people are your best friends, and with their support, difficulties can be solved...... Sima Ru poured herself a cup of tea and sighed with a smile.

Cao Shubao raised his glass to her and said with a smile, "Of course there are you, for you, I can't lose no matter what!"

Sima Ru raised her glass happily and drank the tea down, her cheeks flushed. Then he said curiously, "You just said that the Cao family's treasure of the town gate, the Qingyu Sword, but when you defeated Daju, it was not really relied on!"

"I finally understand Mrs. Wen's intentions," Cao Shubao stood up and looked at the clear sky, and said with a smile, "Originally, it was difficult for me to break through the bottleneck of the small heaven position, not because my weapons were not refined, nor that I was not diligent enough, not because I was stumbling and calm on the spot!"

"Great, your offensive power has improved again!" Sima Ruxing's eyes widened, and she stepped forward to look at him and said happily.

"Well, however, I can't be happy too early, I still have to rush back to Fuzhou to meet Chu Miyun, you ......" Cao Shubao held her hands and said.

"I know, I'll wait for you to come back. Sima Ru looked at him empathetically and helped him straighten his wrinkled clothes.
