Chapter 29: The Wind Rises on the Bamboo Fence
Yu Yaoyao silently withdrew her arm and pulled up her sleeve.
Su Qing muttered, "How could it be... How could it be..."
Yu Xiaoyao hurriedly changed the topic: "Why didn't you go to Madame Snow?"
Su Qing smiled, with a sad and relieved look on her face, "She's dead." ”
This time it was Yu Xiaoyao's turn to be surprised, "Dead?!"
Su Qing looked at him and said, "That Heavenly Poison Pill is simply fake. ”
Of course, this Jade Xiaoyao knew, so it seemed that the Jade Butterfly Cup was not in Madame Snow's hands.
But not necessarily, if the Jade Butterfly Cup is really in Mrs. Xue's hands, she may have guessed that the Golden Knife Sixth is testing her with a fake Heavenly Poison Pill, then she is likely to escape by cheating on death.
"Jade Prince. Su Qing looked at his wrist and said, "Is that the person?"
Yu Xiaoyao shook his head and said, "I don't know either." ”
Su Qing bit her lip and silently poured tea for the two of them, she was a smart woman, she could see that Yu Xiaoyao didn't want to say more, so she didn't ask.
A wise woman always knows when to shut up.
So the atmosphere fell silent for a while, and the two of them sat across the table, silently drinking the tea in the cup, but they didn't feel embarrassed, as if it was a natural thing.
It's like it's always been like this.
Yu Xiaoyao looked at the beautiful woman in front of her, and her heart was in a trance, and the fighting, conspiracy, and chasing in the past few days seemed to be a matter of the previous life.
The memory of this life seems to be only the cup of tea in his hand and the person in front of him.
Su Qing suddenly laughed softly.
Yu Xiaoyao asked, "What is Miss Su laughing at?"
Su Qing said: "It suddenly occurred to me that this room was originally used to drink wine and eat meat, and to talk about business on the tip of the knife, but now, you and I are drinking tea here, which is really interesting." ”
Yu Xiaoyao also laughed, and he said three times in a row, "Very good, very good, very good." ”
Su Qing blinked and said, "Where's the matter?"
Yu Xiaoyao said: "Miss Su also knows how to tell jokes, isn't this bad?"
The two of them looked at each other and laughed in unison.
Yu Xiaoyao said: "On the way I came, I saw a bamboo forest outside the village, if you want to drink tea, it is a good place to go." ”
Su Qing looked at him with a smile and said, "Then it will be as you wish." ”
I don't know how many years this bamboo forest has grown here, you can see the thick bamboo of the bowl mouth everywhere, the thicker one is even like a small tree, the wind blows, the bamboo leaves move with the wind, making a rustling sound, some of the bamboo leaves that have been yellowed are blown by the wind, and fall down leisurely, like a snow of bamboo leaves.
Su Qing and Yu stood side by side, letting the bamboo leaves fall on their heads and shoulders.
"That's good. Su Qing sighed softly, raised her head, and turned her back to the sky, letting the sunlight through the bamboo leaves shine on her face, and let the fragrant bamboo leaves pass over her face.
The sound of rustling bamboo leaves isolates the sound of the world, and it is easy for people to forget all kinds of troubles in the world, Yu Xiaoyao gently closed his eyes, and disappeared from the sound of people and horses, only hearing a bleak loneliness.
A cold and soft touch suddenly came from his fingertips, and when he opened his eyes, Su Qing was also looking at him quietly.
With his backhand, he grabbed the soft wattle that touched his fingertips.
Su Qing looked at him with burning eyes, suddenly turned around and threw himself into his arms, and his fiery lips were also pasted.
Two lonely, blazing flames collided violently.
The ground of the bamboo forest was more comfortable than expected, and the bamboo leaves scattered on the ground made a soft bed.
The human language was inaudible, and only the rustling of the wind and bamboo fences remained.
A yellow leaf fell and landed on his eyes, and Yu Xiaoyao reached out to pick it up and put it in front of his eyes and slowly played with it. Su Qing leaned on his chest, and his black hair like a waterfall covered him, like a fine black brocade.
Yu Xiaoyao hugged her in his arms and asked the question he had never wanted to ask.
"Where are you going next?"
Su Qing's body stiffened slightly, "I don't know." She said.
Su Qing said: "I grew up beside Mrs. Xue since I was a child, she taught me kung fu, taught me to play the piano and sing music, and taught me how to kill. All I have known since I was sensible was to obey my wife's orders, and nothing else mattered except her orders. ”
Yu Yaoyao said: "But, now she is dead." ”
Su Qing showed a confused look in her eyes, and she said, "Yes, she died... She's dead, I don't know what else I can do next..."
Yu Xiaoyao said: "Don't you have something you want to do?"
Su Qing smiled bitterly: "I'm a killer, a killer, what else can I do besides killing?"
Yu Xiaoyao suddenly held her hand and said, "That's the life that Madame Xue gave you, now that she's dead, you don't have to do it anymore, now you can live for yourself!"
Su Qing muttered, "Do you live for yourself..."
Yu Xiaoyao nodded, shook her hand vigorously, and said, "Don't worry, don't worry, you can use the rest of this life to think it out slowly." ”
Su Qingyan smiled, she pricked up her ears and listened carefully, and said, "Listen, it seems to be the sound of flowing water." ”
It was indeed the sound of running water.
It turned out that the stream that Yu Xiaoyao had seen passed through the bamboo forest, gurgling and flowing, the water surface was shining with sunlight, sparkling waves, the stream was very clear, and you could see the swimming fish in the clear water and the small stones at the bottom of the water.
Su Qing looked at the stream, his eyes shining brightly.
She turned her head and said to Yu Xiaoyao, "Didn't you ask me if there was anything I wanted to do?"
Jade nodded freely.
Su Qing laughed, smiling like a teenage girl, "The first thing I want to do is to put my feet in this stream." ”
She said that she would do it, and quickly removed the shoes and socks on her feet, and stretched the pair of slender jade feet into the somewhat cold stream, and suddenly shivered.
Yu Xiaoyao asked, "Have you never done this before?"
Su Qing shook his head, "When I was a teenager, once on the West Lake, I saw a little girl who was about the same age as me picking lotus, sitting barefoot on the edge of the boat, sticking her feet into the lake, and gently kicking the water. You know, what was I thinking?"
Yu Xiaoyao asked, "What are you thinking?"
Su Qing said: "At that time, I was thinking, if I threw the corpses in the cabin behind me into the lake, I don't know if she would see it." ”
When she finished speaking, she chuckled softly, as if it were a funny thing.
Yu Xiaoyao couldn't laugh, while other little girls were still enjoying the good years carefree, she was trained to be a cold killer, an elegant tool, even something as small as soaking her feet in the water seemed to her to be a luxury enjoyment.
"Aren't you going to try it?" Su Qing looked at him with a smile.
Yu Xiaoyao said: "I'm just afraid that as soon as I get out of the water, this water will be dirty." ”
Su Qing laughed lightly, "The second thing I want to do is to let you come down to accompany me." ”
Yu Yaoyao said: "Okay, as long as you don't regret it." ”
Su Qing looked at him with firm eyes and said, "No regrets." ”
The water is really cold, but once you get used to it, you still feel very comfortable.
Su Qing suddenly made a splash and splashed on Yu Xiaoyao's body, looking at Yu Xiaoyao's embarrassed appearance, she covered her mouth and laughed softly.
She was like a little girl again.
Yu Xiaoyao felt a chill for no reason, colder than the stream under his feet.
He didn't have time to think about it, he hugged Su Qing next to him, and his whole body suddenly moved out to the side.
Hearing only a snort, a straight splash was stirred up on the calm water, which stretched all the way to the opposite shore.
Yu Xiaoyao looked straight in his eyes, he knew that this splash was definitely not made by a hidden weapon, only the sword qi that was split could provoke such a straight splash.
And in this world, the masters who can use the sword qi emitted by the sword can be counted on one hand, and each of them is a very tricky character for him.
"What a jade getaway, what a trick getaway. "A man came out of the bamboo forest, wearing a short blue-gray robe, a hat on his head, and a sword as green as jade in his hand.
Yu Xiaoyao only felt that the cold hairs on his body stood up, because he found that he didn't even hear this person's footsteps, and this person's light skills were by no means below him.
Yu Xiaoyao looked at the sword in his hand and recognized who the person in front of him was, "Zhu Yeqing?
"That's right," Fifth Xu nodded, the long sword in his hand pointed at Yu Xiaoyao, "Fifth Xu who is the fifth in the world!"
This fifth Xu is a madman, but also a sword idiot, he has been learning swords since childhood, at the age of twenty has rarely met opponents, so he looked for people to compete, after dozens of battles, only lost to four people, and he happened to be the fifth, so he claimed to be the fifth Xu of the world's fifth.
Yu Xiaoyao looked at the sword qi he sent out just now, and thought to himself in his heart, this person is only afraid that it is not the fifth in the world, at least among the people he knows, there is only one person who can use such a sword.
"Your Excellency, isn't it also here to arrest me?" Yu Yao quietly blocked in front of Su Qing.
"Hmph. Fifth Xu said disdainfully, "Don't compare me with those people, whether you are a person from Liuhe Dao or not has nothing to do with me." ”
Yu Xiaoyao said: "Then why did Your Excellency come?"
The fifth Xu said: "There are four young people in the rivers and lakes, and the iron-blooded jade flute." Hearing these eight words, my ears are almost calloused, and I have always wanted to find the blood sword Xue Qing to try it to see if his sword is powerful, or my bamboo leaf is faster. But I haven't been able to find him, since you can be as famous as him, presumably your martial arts are not much worse, why don't you try it with me?"
Yu Xiaoyao had a headache, it seems that the nickname of the fifth Xu sword idiot is really worthy of his reputation, and he has to compete with others as soon as he comes up.
He was about to say no, but he saw another person coming out of the depths of the bamboo forest, so he laughed.
Fifth Xu said: "Don't you think I'm joking?"
Yu Xiaoyao shook his head and said, "I'm just happy, I don't have to compete with you, because the person you are looking for has already come." ”
The person who came over was really Xue Qing, and he was still carrying a person in his hand. He didn't walk fast, but he was steady, and even though he was holding a man in his hand, he didn't make a sound.
Fifth Xu looked at Xue Qing and suddenly trembled uncontrollably.
Xue Qing walked closer and threw the person in his hand on the ground.
The man's acupoint had been sealed, his body couldn't move, and he was thrown by Xue Qing like this, and his face was facing Yu Xiaoyao, who turned out to be an acquaintance.
Yu Xiaoyao smiled: "Young Master Liu, we meet again." ”
Liu Junyi's eyes widened, and his face was frightened.
Xue Qing looked at Fifth Xu expressionlessly, "You brought this person." ”
Fifth Xu stared at him without blinking, as if he would disappear at any moment, "No, he brought me here." Fifth Xu said.
Xue Qing nodded: "Very good." Take him and get out. ”
Fifth Xu was stunned for a moment, and suddenly laughed, he said: "I always thought I was crazy, but I didn't expect you to be even more crazy than me." ”
Xue Qing looked at him coldly, "Why don't you leave." ”
Xue Qing has a characteristic when he speaks, that is, he never asks questions, even if he is asking others questions, it is like stating a certain fact from his mouth.
Fifth Xu pointed his sword at Xue Qing and said, "Do you know who I am?"
Xue Qing said: "I don't know." ”
Fifth Xu trembled even more, and he gritted his teeth and gurgled, "Very good, then let me tell you." ”
As soon as the words fell, Zhu Yeqing flashed a cold light in the air, pointing directly at Xue Qing's throat.
"Ding!"
Zhu Yeqing stopped in mid-air, and it didn't stab Xue Qing's throat.
Because Xue Qing had already drawn his sword.
A blood-red sword!
Blood Sword!
The tip of the blood sword firmly resisted the tip of Zhu Yeqing's sword, and no matter how the fifth Xu urged, he couldn't advance half a point.
Fifth Xu shouted, drew his sword and turned around, the sword dance was cold, and attacked Xue Qing again.
But no matter how he attacked, Xue Qing always made a move after he made a move, and every time he shot, the tip of the blood sword was directly aimed at the vital point of the fifth Xu, if the fifth Xu didn't stop, not only would he not be able to hurt Xue Qing, but he would also die under this blood sword.
After more than ten moves like this, the fifth Xu suddenly withdrew his sword and retreated, he took the sword to his chest, stood firmly, and spurted out a mouthful of blood.
It turned out that he couldn't succeed in attacking for a long time, so he was so angry that he vomited blood.
Xue Qing put the sword back into its sheath and said lightly: "Very good, you can go." ”
Fifth Xu was stunned, and suddenly laughed out loud, "Very good? Very good? Hahahaha, it turns out that my swordsmanship is just very good in your eyes?"
Xue Qing said: "The swordsmanship is very good, but the mood is a little worse." ”
Fifth Xu's laughter stopped abruptly, he looked at Xue Qing, his eyes seemed to be about to erupt fire, after a long time, he nodded, and said, "Okay, Blood Sword Xue Qing, after a year, how about you compare again?"
Xue Qing said: "Very good. ”
The fifth Xu turned around and left, not looking at Liu Junyi on the ground.
Liu Junyi's face had turned pale, and he looked at Yu Xiaoyao and cried with a whimper.
Xue Qing glanced at him in disgust, picked his foot and kicked it, Liu Junyi suddenly flew into the depths of the bamboo forest and fell without a trace.
Yu Xiaoyao smiled: "This is really rolling." Hahahaha. ”
Xue Qing looked at him, and his cold face couldn't help but show a smile.
Yu Xiaoyao patted him on the shoulder and said, "How did you get here?" ”
Xue Qing spoke, he looked at Yu Xiaoyao, and his words were as concise as ever.
"I'll take you to Wudang. ”
