161. Surrender

This time there was no melting period for the heavy snowstorm, it was sunny for a few days, the cold had not yet drifted away, and another wind and snow came in a hurry, and the climate seemed abnormal, which was quite a harsh test for those who were eating outside.

Jiang Xing and Jin Peony had gradually recovered their energy, and the cold could no longer threaten them, and the two of them didn't mind at all.

"The old ghost said that there are minions in the valley who are searching for it. "We should work harder, climb the ridge on the right, avoid the valley, and find another way to fly away." ”

"I've figured out the direction. Jiang Xing said confidently, "You climb over the ridge, walk from the longitudinal valley in the south, about ten miles, you can find the road to people, that is the road to Xihongzhuang, the southwest is the Yongding River, you can find the official road to the capital." ”

"Let's go!" said Golden Peony excitedly.

"You go, I don't go. Jiang Xing pointed to the valley, "I want to go down from the valley, and I won't go to the capital." ”

"Brother Luo, you ......" Jin Peony was stunned.

"I'm going to do something. ”

"Looking for them?"

"Not bad. An animalistic light appeared in Jiang Xing's eyes, "This time I pretended to be the son of impermanence and entered Daiyuan, mainly to find the murderer of the sword, but I didn't expect to get any clues, and almost gave away my life." ”

"However, the situation is more dangerous now......"

"Leaving Daiyuan, the tiger is out of charge, and the danger has been minimized. ”,

"The guests are dead and fleeing, how do you find them? Brother Luo, please don't ......"

"I remembered one thing last night. Jiang Xing reinserted the saber on his belt, indicating that he could draw the knife at any time, "Before I entered Daiyuan, I had an encounter with another group of enemies, and I found that the place was not far from Daiyuan, and it was likely that it was the minions of the Daiyuan faction on the periphery. The more I thought about it, the more suspicious I became, and I should have paid attention to this clue in Daiyuan, so I decided to start chasing it, maybe I could find out the clue I wanted from Daiyuan's minions. ”

"A group of enemies, what's going on?"

Jiang Xing didn't want to explain more, his hatred with the tiger-shaped people didn't want others to get involved in his personal grievances and hatred, and he took responsibility for it, he had a good impression of Jin Peony, and he didn't want Jin Peony to get involved in personal grievances.

"It's a personal matter for me, and I don't want anyone else to be involved. Jiang Xing put on a posture of rejecting people thousands of miles away, "Let's go! Let's see you on the rivers and lakes, there will be a period later, be careful on the road." ”

"I don't care, I'm going to go with you. Jin Peony suddenly grabbed Jiang Xing's arm and curled his lips, which were still dry and cracked, "I don't know the direction at all, I don't know how to find the way, besides, if I unfortunately meet those terrible masters of the Yin and Yang Twin Monsters halfway, wouldn't it be a dead end?

"Huh, do you know it's dangerous?"

"I'm not afraid, I'm determined to follow you. Jin Peony grabbed Jiang Xing's hand without a trace, and gave him a half-playful and half-playful look, "Unless...... Unless you go away with me, forget about Daiyuan, and break through the dangers, then I must have a share. ”

Jiang Xing turned around and reached out to put his hand around Jin Peony's shoulder, pulled her closer to each other, and began to formally look at this well-known female killer in the rivers and lakes

There was a look of confusion, but I was not surprised by the intimate expression of the golden peony.

According to rumors, this well-known female killer is not very scrupulous, beautiful, generous, insidious, vicious, very different from her heart, and is one of the bold women in the rivers and lakes with dual personalities, that is to say, she doesn't care much about the interaction between men and women, and she is a woman with a rebellious character.

At one point, he thought that the beautiful woman in front of him was not a golden peony, but a fake impostor like him.

But this morning, this woman's secret weapon killed two masters at the same time in an instant, and he had to admit that he had miscalculated

The woman should be the real female killer Golden Peony. This pair of slender hands, which are not like those who often practice using hidden weapons, actually use hidden weapons superbly, how can it be fake?

Last night, this woman slept with him in her arms, which is indeed a bit consistent with the rumors in the rivers and lakes, this is the bold female style of the female killer Jin Peony, and she never slept with him because she was afraid.

Jiang Xing has a considerable understanding of the men and women who are wandering in the rivers and lakes, no matter what these people are for, what reasons they hold, and what their purpose is, it is difficult to abide by the morality and etiquette in society when they enter the rivers and lakes anyway.

Anyone who carries a sword in the rivers and lakes is himself a person who does not want to agree with the laws of morality, and is a rebellious man and woman.

Jiang Xing himself has been drifting with the rivers and lakes in his own life, which is an iron fact.

Whether they exercise chivalry or do evil, in a word, they are men and women who despise the laws of social morality, and all cover-ups, excuses, and clever arguments are all big lies that deceive themselves and others.

"Miss Wu. Jiang Xing said solemnly, "Do you understand? You and I are not the same way, and we do not conspire with each other if we have different ways." ’”

"You mean, you're a swordsman, and I'm a female killer?" Jin Peony's face changed, and he asked timidly, "What's the difference?"

"The difference is that I don't actively kill people. And you, for the sake of fame and profit, kill people. ”

"But ......"

"I don't want to argue literally, and I don't have the right to judge who is right and who is wrong. However, you and I have the same place. ”

The solemn expression on Jiang Xing's face disappeared, and a mocking smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"I'm listening. "Jin Peony's voice is soft, and she doesn't have the temperament of a female killer or a bold woman at all.

"We all kill for self-righteous goals. Jiang Xing smiled, a little reluctantly, and even almost blamed himself and felt pity, "No matter what, you and I are the only ones who can be lucky to stay together, and there is likely to be a natural chance in this, so I should really cherish this."

A feeling for the rest of your life. Let's go, I'll get you out of danger first, and put all your troubles aside for the time being. ”

The two climbed over the ridge and descended into the valley to the south.

The evil venerable He Ming found that there were people in the eastern valley who were searching all over the mountain, and it was already the beginning of the fourth to fifth watches.

It is impossible for a person searching a mountain to stop or stay in a certain place, and the search should move with the terrain and situation.

Jiang Xing didn't ask clearly, and the evil venerable also said vaguely.

Don't go east and south, break into another dangerous situation.

As the saying goes, it is a blessing not a curse, but a disaster that cannot be avoided.

The two of them are not too steep

Trek through the snow on the steep mountainside, gradually descending to the valley floor.

Since the snow has frozen, it is not difficult to walk around, so you can follow the valley south and south.

The nearby was full of frozen woods, and it was inconvenient to walk, so I walked slowly along a frozen stream, and the stream was no longer visible

The original appearance is like a road winding in the mountains.

Jin Peony no longer followed him, and walked shoulder to shoulder with him Jiang Xing, like a pair of partners who walked on the snow and looked for plums.

The wind gusted, and it was extremely cold.

There was a sound of ice edges breaking and falling from the woods, which was unpleasant.

Turning the corner, Jiang Xing suddenly shouted, "You little bastard!

On a section of the tree on the side of the road, the dark and shiny sable stared at the two of them, which stood out in the snow.

"So cute! Brother Luo, this little mink is your pet?"

"Uh...... It's a partner. ”

Looking at Hator's cold eyes, Jiang Xing increased his kneading intensity, "This is a friend, why did you come? Brother almost hung up..."

"The transformation of Xiaomei Demon Yuan is very crucial, you have to watch. ”

"Oh, did it work?"

"Is it a big deal to have me here?"

Jiang Xing laughed, "Yes, yes! Brother Ha made a move, and the immortals all bowed their heads." ”

When he saw Hartor on the first day, Jiang Xing was in a good mood, "What's wrong with Yaoyao?"

"The third child rushed over, the main forces are over there, there should be no problem. ”

"Hator, Xie Yong is dead, help me find the murderer. ”

"Well, you're taking this woman to find the murderer?"

"Brother Luo, I'm quite familiar with Kyoto. Golden Peony didn't pay any more attention to Hartol, after all, he was just a slightly clever mink. She smiled at Jiang Xing and said, her phoenix eyes glowing with joy, "But most of the time, I stay near Yanjing, I want to go south in the near future, do you want to go to Jiangnan to play?"

"My business in Kyoto has not yet been settled! How can I have spare time to visit Nandu?" Jiang Xing directly refused the other party's invitation,

Although Jin Peony did not directly invite him to accompany him to Jiangnan, "What's more, Nandu has been in turmoil recently, so it's best to run less to places with wind and rain." ”

It is customary to refer to Kyoto as the imperial capital and Yenkyo as the southern capital.

The Tianlan Dynasty was quite well prepared in response to the situation, fortified the walls and cleared the wilderness, consolidated the side walls (the Great Wall), and strictly prevented the northern Mangren from invading the south.

In case of a crisis in Kyoto, you can move south to protect Jiangnan. The policy is good, but there is a lack of enthusiasm, and the regressive dynasty must not have done much.

In the end, the contingency policies of the two capitals are still not implemented and are in vain. Jiang Xing doesn't pay much attention to the whereabouts and actions of the people on the rivers and lakes now, and he doesn't pay much attention to some related rumors, because of Kang Bing's absence, even the intelligence system of the Jiujulou rarely deals with it, so he doesn't know the details of the golden peony, if he is willing to pay attention to the rumors, he must know the traces of the golden peony's recent activities.

Jin Peony said that most of the time, he stayed near Yanjing, which is obviously not true.

Almost all of the VIPs invited by Dai Yuan this time were wandering on the northern ground

How can it be possible to invite people who stay in Yanjing in the south?

"Kyoto is also full of wind and rain!" "Golden Peony doesn't seem to care about Jiang Xing's kindness, and he doesn't mind the ups and downs, "Chasing fame and fortune, of course there are more opportunities in Kyoto, but in essence, Nandu is more favorable......"

"I didn't die in Kyoto in pursuit of fame and fortune. He interrupted Jin Peony's words, "I take the liberty of asking you some questions, the questions may be taboo, but you have the right to decide whether to answer them or not." ”

"This ...... I will try my best to give you a satisfactory answer. Jin Peony hesitated slightly, "What do you want to ask......

"Are you doing things alone, or are you part of a group of killers?"

"This ...... Loners, of course. ”

Golden Peony hesitated again, and barely wanted to answer.

"Oh, are you competent to find traces?" Jiang Xing asked quite rudely, "In my case, I want to find a certain person, but I can't find clues when I run all over the world, and it's not easy to spend money on news." ”

"Of course, I have a way to find clues. "Golden Peony answered this time refreshingly" There are some friends who can be used, so usually will

The survey period was set for one month, and the daily cost was 10 taels of silver. The investigation period may be extended at the request of the owner, otherwise the transaction will be cancelled. The results of the investigation are obtained, and then the bonus price code is ordered. "Golden peony this

After a few years, it seems that the transaction is going well, "Oh! you ask this ......" "I want to entrust you with a survey." Jiang Xing made an explosive request.

"This ...... The murderer of the sword Xie Yong?" Jin Peony was really taken aback, "However, even you are chasing after the wind, I don't know who your surname is, any killer group will not accept this kind of business, that is not something that the killer is willing to accept, there must be a name and a surname that can be checked......"

"The murderer of the sword Xie Yong, I will investigate it myself. ”

"That ......"

"Forget it. Jiang Xing suddenly said dejectedly, "If you spend most of your time wandering in Nandu, you can't find anything in Kyoto, so let's go! ”

Jiang Xing originally wanted to ask Jin Peony to find out the whereabouts of the clouds and rain, but after thinking about it, it seemed that he was suspected of coercion, so he had to dispel the idea of hiring a killer.

In fact, Jiang Xing knew in his heart that people in the killer industry would never accept the sale of investigations, and the killers who came alone were congenitally insufficient, let alone waste time on investigations. He himself is a veteran of the killer industry, and he knows that not only does Jin Peony have no such ability, but any killer group will not accept his commission. Jiang Xing didn't want anyone to kill the clouds, and the killer was only hired to kill.

"I'll check it for you. Jin Peony grabbed his hand, let go of his feet and walked quickly in the snow, "I will find someone to find clues......"

"More on that later. ”

"Jiang Xing, something is wrong ahead"

Hartol has a strong sense and has already seen the problem.

Jiang Xing nodded, and while flying, he used his sharp gaze to search the woods on both sides of the frozen riverbed in front of him.

From his sudden move, Jin Peony felt the change in his mood.

"You...... What's wrong with you?" asked Golden Peony in surprise. "Something is wrong.

Jiang Xing hurriedly said, "Remember, no matter what happens, remember not to leave my left." ”

"You mean ......"

"We have fallen under the watchful eye of a strong enemy. ”

"Oops......" Golden Peony exclaimed.

"But......," she said suddenly, her eyes fell on the three huts at the front edge of the woods in front of her, "it is impossible for a man to hide in the house and open the door to welcome guests!"

The frozen stream twists and turns, and the icy grass and trees block the view.

When I saw the huts, they were less than a hundred steps away. The hut is normal and intact and should be inhabited. But what is not normal is that the doors and windows are opened, no, it should be said that the doors and windows are destroyed by people, and it is impossible not to close the doors and windows.

"The snow has footprints. Golden Peony said. "Messy footprints, to be precise, are the scars of a fight. He began to walk around, "We don't have to be fooled, we don't have to go and let them block the house in an urn to catch turtles, we don't have to go looking for food, do we?"

His voice was loud, and he deliberately said it to the people in the house, who were hungry and cold, and who needed to go into the house to find food. "yes! We're not going to be fooled. "They thought we were being chased hungry and cold, and when they saw the houses, they couldn't wait to grab them to find food, and they got into their trap and let them slaughter them, and they really calculated as they wished!"

"It's not as good as you want, so you can only wait for the rabbit like a dumbwoodcutter, and your efforts are in vain. ”

"What do we do?"

"Don't enter the door, let them rejoice, let's go. ”

As soon as they said go, the two walked side by side, like a gentleman who walked through the snow to find plums, swaggering across the house. There was no sound in the house, not like there were people.

"They're not going to give up. Jin Peony's voice is also loud enough for the people in the house to hear clearly, "I think, they will be unwilling to chase after them." ”

"If you don't chase them, just chase them, hum!" His words were full of murderous aura, full of evil omen and anger, "It is better to rest when you are proud, they have succeeded in killing many people, and they should stop in time, and if you want to kill them all, you will have to pay a terrible price." ”

"What do you mean......"

"Knife cut, no mercy, let's go, two steps. The figure in the room snatched out, the speed was extremely fast, and in a moment, it was behind the two people, a total of six people, four men and two women, menacing.

The two of them didn't seem to know that someone was coming behind them, and they were calm and unhurried.

At the front edge of the woods in front, six people suddenly rushed out, also four men and two women, a total of twelve people in front and behind, blocking the front and back

Road.

Jiang Xing was startled, and his face changed.

Jin Peony was also taken aback and stopped in shock.

"How can there be you?" Jin Peony was surprised and blurted out, "Could it be that you are originally from Daiyuan?" Among the four men and two women blocking the road in front of them, there were Huahua Shuangtai Sui and Beiyan Laoxiu.

No wonder Jiang Xing and Jin Peony were both surprised.

"They surrendered, and it is not surprising that they gave in and became Daiyuan's minions at the moment of life and death. Jiang Xing said calmly, "They are still a little ashamed, so face you."

I was ashamed. ”

Huahua Shuangtai Sui and Beiyan Lao Xiu were indeed ashamed, and even avoided the gaze of the two of them, looking uneasy.

"I ...... I'm sorry, Brother Luo. The Wind Swordsman said as he lowered his head and didn't dare to look at it

"I ...... We didn't ...... Didn't escape, God...... ...... as soon as dawn"

"What about the others? I mean, the White Feather Soul Chasing Arrows. ”

"They ...... too Didn't escape ......."

"Have you also become Daiyuan's minions?" "Brother Luo, I'...... I'm sorry. ”

"I don't blame you, as the saying goes, it's better to die than to live badly. Jiang Xing shook his head and smiled bitterly, "You so-called people who break through the road are some heroes of the mixed world who have nothing to do but chase fame and fortune, and you can afford to let go of the inferior heroes, in this situation, you have the right to choose the way to live." ”

"Brother Luo, you and Jin Peony still have a way to live. ”

"I'm sorry, but I wouldn't have chosen this way to live. Jiang Xing categorically refused, "Because I am not a hero in the world, nor am I a hero of the lower three promiscuities, I live with purpose, dignity, and the spirit of a true martial friend." "This ......," the Wind Swordsman blushed.

"Remember, don't give me a chance to knife you. ”

Behind him, the six men chased out of the house were already waiting impatiently, and they were also irritated by his sarcastic words.

"Turn around, Your Excellency. The middle-aged man led by him drank heavily.

Jiang Xing slowly turned around and smiled coldly.

"What do you think of your brother, who wants me to surrender?" he asked with a smirk, "and it is better not to waste your lips, Your Excellency. ”

"You said a lot of big things that you didn't like. The middle-aged man's piercing voice made people feel chills in their hearts. "You've heard it all, and it's very uncomfortable, isn't it?"

"Your name is Childe?"

"Yes, it's like a fake. ”

"My master wants you by name, whether you live or die. ”

"It is a great honor to be here. ”

"Would you like to live?" said the middle-aged man.

"If my knife is unsheathed, you will know the right answer. ”

"You're crazy. "The middle-aged man is going to be on fire.

"There's a little bit of madness, I don't deny it. ”
