It was another night, but it was unusually quiet.

The night sky is starless, but the moon is bright and clean. Zhao Qingyan curled up in the big air and looked up at the night sky, holding a hand stove in his arms that had dissipated most of the temperature.

"Young Master, it's not too early, do you want to go back?" Ran Haoxuan, who had been standing silently three steps away, walked up to him and asked in a low voice.

Zhao Qingyan took a moment, his eyelashes trembled, and he woke up from his distracted gaze and turned his head to look at him: "When is it?"

Ran Haoxuan was not surprised, or rather, he was accustomed to it, and quickly replied: "It's been a moment." ”

"It's been a moment...... But I still didn't feel sleepy. Zhao Qingyan muttered a little distressedly, lowered his eyes, turned the hand stove in one direction and hugged it again.

Ran Haoxuan didn't hear clearly, and said inquiringly: "Young Master?"

Zhao Qingyan smiled slightly: "It's nothing, go back, it's time to rest." He stood up with the pillar beside him, raised his hand to signal that Ran Haoxuan didn't need support, and walked forward slowly.

"Immense. ”

Ran Haoxuan stopped with the pause of Zhao Qingyan's footsteps, and asked softly, "What does the young master command?"

Zhao Qingyan turned sideways slightly: "Fengyunxuan should almost have news over there, right?"

Ran Hao was stunned for a moment, and responded: "Half a month has passed, there should be news." Shall I go and get it? If the horse comes quickly, I will be back in about five or six days. ”

Zhao Qingyan nodded, and shook his head again: "I'll go with you in a few days." ”

Ran Hao was stunned and said, "But the young master's injury hasn't healed yet......"

Zhao Qingyan lowered his eyes: "The left and right are also by car, just take a detour, what's the matter?"

Ran Haoxuan didn't persuade much, and responded in a low voice: "Then I'll go and ask the prince for instructions tomorrow." ”

Zhao Qingyan nodded his chin and was about to say something, but was interrupted by a broken drink.

"Who?" the voice was a little frightened, and a little painful.

Ran Haoyan's eyes moved, and he glanced at Zhao Qingyan: "It's Bai Gongzi." ”

Zhao Qingyan immediately said, "Go and see." ”

When they were still far away, they saw staggered sword shadows.

Bai Zhen held a dark short knife in his right hand, but his left hand hung down at his side, and blood continued to drip down his fingertips. His hair was scattered, but he was neatly dressed and had boots on his feet, and he didn't look unprepared. At this time, it has been defeated and retreated one after another, and it is obviously lagging behind.

Zhao Qingyan's pupils shrank, and he hurriedly looked at the other person.

He has seen Bai Zhen's skills, his posture is flexible, his reaction is quick, and his swordsmanship is also slightly famous in the rivers and lakes. Although the short knife was not his best weapon, it was impossible for Bai Zhen not to put enough effort into it. A person who can injure Bai Zhen between three moves and two styles, what kind of martial arts?

Dressed in black and with a thin sword, Bai Zhen was forced to go all out, but he still seemed to be at ease, and he obviously had time to glance at Zhao Qingyan between fights.

Zhao Qingyan leaned against the tree and gasped slightly: "Haoxuan, go help Bai Gongzi." ”

Ran Hao said, "Then the young master, you ......"

Zhao Qingyan said: "Don't tell me that you can still let him escape and hurt me." ”

Ran Haoxuan said in a low voice, "I understand." Seeing a little bit, he went straight to the man in black, his right arm shook almost invisibly, and the snow-white long sword slid into his palm and shook into a straight line.

A smile flashed in the eyes of the man in black, he dodged sideways, picked up the hilt of the sword with his tail finger, and the long sword turned flexibly in the palm of his hand, blocking the white sword light.

Ran Hao twisted his waist and twisted his body at an almost breaking angle, his left foot tiptoed to the ground, and his right foot kicked the man in black's chin with a sharp wind-breaking sound.

The man in black raised his arm to block, made a mistake under his feet, stepped a few steps in a row, avoided Ran Haoxuan's back move, the blade of the sword trembled, and he stabbed again.

Ran Haoxuan's shoulders swayed, and as soon as his body adjusted his balance, he flew out and went straight to the man in black in a straight line, but he brought up two afterimages, and the milky white sword was gone.

He's fast, and the man in black is never slow. After stepping a few steps, he happened to pass by Ran Haoxuan, and the sword that stabbed at Ran Haoxuan from his side close to his arm rubbed a string of sparks with the sword that Ran Haoxuan had prepared to resist in advance. And the two who stabilized their pace and turned around to fight again, their light skills have been promoted to the peak.

Bai Zhen, who originally wanted to help, looked at the two figures in a battle in a daze, decisively gave up the idea of helping, covered his wounds and walked to Zhao Qingyan's side.

Zhao Qingyan looked at the blood that stained most of his sleeves red, and asked, "Did you hurt your bones?"

Bai Zhen shook his head, reached out and tore off the entire sleeve, and bit a piece of torn cloth with his teeth, intending to bandage it himself.

"I'll do it. Zhao Qingyan stood up straight, reached out and took off the sleeve from Bai Zhen's mouth, and used the sleeve that was already stained with blood to help him hastily wipe the blood that flowed out, and then his fingers flew over, and in the blink of an eye, he bandaged the wound more than two inches long firmly, wiped the blood on his fingers on Bai Zhen's clean robe, took a step back, and leaned against the tree before.

Bai Zhen looked at him in a daze: "You ......"

Zhao Qingyan asked, "What's wrong?"

Bai Zhen looked at his wound, hesitated for a moment, but couldn't help but ask: "Why are you so skilled?"

"In the past, Tang Xiaoyu often helped the disciples of the Vermilion Bird Hall to bandage and practice. Zhao Qingyan looked a little tired, and after answering briefly, he looked sideways at Ran Haoxuan.

The man in black casually held his sword in his hand and sighed, "Floating Sword." The swordsmanship is good, the martial arts are good, and the light skills are also good, but they are too impetuous, but they lose the sword rhyme of the floating sword itself. He dodged a move sideways, and retreated three steps away, his breath not chaotic: "I used the sharpness of the sword, but I didn't use the soul of the sword." Let's take it slowly, I'll go first. A fluttering kick slammed into Ran Hao's chest.

Ran Haoxuan immediately dodged to the left, obviously seeing that he had dodged the kick, but he was kicked firmly in the chest, spit out a breath of white air, flew back more than a dozen steps, and fell to the ground on one knee.

"Hao Xuan breathe, no need to chase!" Seeing that Ran Haoyan was about to forcibly get up and chase after him, Zhao Qingyan hurriedly spoke, and then arched his hand to the black-clothed man who looked at him with a smile: "Thank you seniors for keeping your hands, juniors are reckless, and please forgive seniors for offenses." ”

The man in black smiled: "It's easy to say." ”

Zhao Qingyan's words changed: "But the martial arts moves of the predecessors are obviously from famous families, is it inappropriate to enter the house so late at night and cover up your appearance?"

The man in black raised his eyebrows: "Famous door?

Zhao Qingyan lowered his eyes, and quickly raised it again: "Remnant Feather Gate and Wudang." ”

A hint of surprise flashed in the eyes of the man in black: "What a powerful eye." He was not in a hurry to leave, but stood still, looking like he was going to talk to him for a while.

Zhao Qingyan smiled: "Thank you seniors for your praise, don't dare to be." ”

The man in black looked down at his hand and shook it: "I still feel that the moves of Wudang have been almost forgotten, and there are not many people who know the martial arts of the Remnant Feather Gate." ”

Zhao Qingyan said: "In the words of the predecessors, there is the rhyme of Wudang and the soul of the remnant feather." ”

The man in black smiled and asked, "Then which side is my martial arts more inclined towards?"

"Of course, it's the Remnant Feather Gate. Zhao Qingyan smiled helplessly, "After all, the seniors are too fast, and there are only a few tricks that can be recognized, so it's not easy to say casually." ”

The man in black asked, "Then you still say that I am a famous family?"

Zhao Qingyan asked strangely: "Is there any problem? Famous family, famous family, whether he is good or bad, he is famous." Although Remnant Yu is known as an evil person in the rivers and lakes, this does not deny the excellence of Remnant Yu Sect at all? The younger generation thinks that if they are born in a famous family, no matter whether they are good or evil, they must have a famous way of doing things. ”

The man in black let out an interested "oh" and asked, "Are you accusing me of acting in a dishonorable manner?"

Zhao Qingyan shrugged: "Seniors want to listen to the truth, of course." ”

"You're really interesting. Ran Haoxuan, who was pranayama to the side, but did not forget to watch out for his own movements, picked his chin, "Is this your subordinate or a friend?"

Zhao Qingyan said: "Personal guard." ”

The man in black blinked: "Then your family must be very rich, can afford to hire such a good guard, and can wear such a good sword for him." ”

Zhao Qingyan smiled faintly: "Thank you." ”

The man in black said: "It's my fault that I broke in tonight and injured the white prince." But I also have some reasons that I can't say...... Anyway, I won't come again. That's it, this one for you, I'll go first. I remember that when I confessed to the White House on my behalf, he said that he had hurt his son-in-law, and he would definitely come to the door to confess the crime one day. He threw a booklet made of uneven straw rope to Ran Haoxuan, and then swaggered away.

Bai Zhen looked at his back, his eyes darkened, and he was silent for a long time.

"Bai Gongzi?"

Bai Zhen came back to his senses and asked, "What's wrong?"

Zhao Qingyan looked at the red-stained cloth belt on his arm with some concern: "Blood is oozing out, where is the medicine?"

Bai Zhen sighed: "Let's go into the house." ”

After a brief cleaning of the wound with warm water, finding a clean piece of clothing, tearing off the strip of cloth and bandaging it with medicine, and changing another piece of clothing, the three of them finally sat down in the room.

After staring at each other silently for a moment, Bai Zhen asked, "Do you say one by one?"

Zhao Qingyan asked, "Bai Gongzi said first?"

Bai Zhen nodded: "Then I'll talk about it first." I was meditating before, so someone came in and had time to fight him. As for the reason for his origin, it should be because of a box, a box that the Hou Ye entrusted me to pass on to my father. ”

Zhao Qingyan nodded, and didn't ask more: "Is that box okay?"

Bai Zhen said: "I'm hiding very hidden, there will be no problem." After a pause, seeing that Zhao Qingyan didn't speak, he simply asked directly: "Can you see the identity of that person?"

Zhao Qingyan pondered for a moment and shook his head: "The time is too short, and I still haven't been able to test anything." But I can try. ”

Bai Zhen was slightly stunned: "Try it?"

Zhao Qingyan said: "If you have the words of the Remnant Feather Gate, I have quite detailed information in my hand, but it exists in the Great Interior. I have the impression that some people don't quite fit. If Bai Gongzi needs it, I will check this person after returning to Beijing. ”

"Remnant Feather Gate ......" Bai Zhen seemed to think of something, and shook his head, "No need, since he said he won't come again, there is no need to check." He seemed to feel that his words were too far-fetched, and added: "After all, it is too difficult to find out who this person is, and with his martial arts, it is too difficult to catch him." And listening to the meaning of his words, I am afraid that I know my father. When my father returns, I may know who this person is. If you still don't have a clue in the end, you have to trouble the little prince. ”

Since he had already said so, Zhao Qingyan naturally wouldn't insist: "It's okay." Glancing at Bai Zhen's bloodless face, he suddenly asked, "Won't Bai Gongzi move to his father's side?" There is no one here, and it will be very dangerous for Bai Gongzi to avoid the guards patrolling, right?"

Bai Zhen was silent for a moment, shook his head and refused: "Forget it, it's more convenient here." I'll bring some people from home tomorrow, just in case. ”

"Since there's nothing to do, let's go back first. After a moment of silence, Zhao Qingyan stood up.

Bai Zhen hurriedly stood up: "I'll send the little prince." ”

Zhao Qingyan said: "No need, Bai Gongzi, please stop, I'll just go back by myself." ”

Bai Zhen pondered for a moment and nodded: "Then the little prince should rest early." ”

Zhao Qingyan responded and left slowly.

————————————————————

"Haoxuan, what did the man in black write in your booklet?" Zhao Qingyan sat on the bed, drank a few sips of hot water, and then looked at Ran Haoxuan who was looking down and flipping through the book next to him.

Ran Hao was stunned for a moment, and said with some hesitation: "It's like some messy swordsmanship that is not in order, and some body techniques that can be used with light skills." He stood up and handed him the booklet.

The yellowed straw paper, bound with straw rope, has edges that resemble shapes cut out with a sharp object, and although it is neat, it is not straight. And the ink on the handwriting is more casual. Or ink, or charcoal sticks, or even vegetable soup and other things with a peculiar smell......

Some scribbled human figures, remembering simple acupuncture points, and some detailed experiences next to them. And the swordsmanship that Ran Haoxu said, the "sword" drawn on it, is just a thicker straight line.

Zhao Qingyan didn't dislike the stains on it, probably flipped through a few pages, and handed it back to Ran Haoyan: "Then let's learn." ”

Ran Haoxuan was slightly stunned: "Young Master?"

Zhao Qingyan suddenly looked at him and smiled: "After all, there are not many people who can force you to that position, it seems that this thing can be regarded as some of his own experience, and it is not a bad thing to learn." ”

Ran Hao hesitated: "But that person came tonight for unknown reasons, if I learn, will it ......?"

Zhao Qingyan yawned lightly: "If you give it to you, you will learn, why do you want so much?"

Ran Haoxuan couldn't guess what he meant, looked at the booklet in his hand, and didn't speak.

Zhao Qingyan moved his body down, moved the cushion away and lay down: "Rest, I have to leave for Fengyunxuan tomorrow." ”

Ran Hao was stunned and said, "Tomorrow ......"

Zhao Qingyan turned his back to him, pulled the quilt, and did not answer his question.

Ran Hao sighed lightly, silently extinguished the candle, and returned to the outside room to rest.
