Chapter Seven: True Feelings and False Intentions (I)

Yang Ning's cold gaze stared at Lian Wuxian for a moment, walked to the black horse, looked up at the pair of copper bells, and black and white horse eyes, the corners of his lips showed a calm and indifferent smile, only in this blink of an eye, he has changed from a ruthless demon emperor to a graceful and luxurious emperor noble, with a detached look, under the eyes of the phoenix, revealing infinite majesty, only a pair of deep and cold eyes, but it is a hellish flame, so that people who accidentally bump into it suddenly feel lost and depressed. Even the incomparably powerful black horse began to get restless, twisting its head from time to time, as if trying to avoid the man in front of him.

Lian Wuxian looked at it in his eyes, and he also felt a chill, although he knew that he was not this young man's opponent since listening to the battle of Tao Pavilion, but in the past time, he already knew a lot about everything that the young man had experienced, obviously although this young man had suffered setbacks, his edge had not weakened in the slightest, but it was like a famous sword that had been calcined by fire, showing more and more dazzling brilliance. He is Luo Chengyu's confidant, and he is also the only person who really knows Yang Ning's true identity except for Wu Cheng and Ximen Rin. And the idea of practicing without a trace is also different from Ximen Rin and others, he was born in the rivers and lakes, and he used to be a killer in the past, and he was chic and nonsensical by nature, and now he has become the master of Yan Shanwei's heavenly group, but because he was frustrated by Yang Yuan, the sword king, in order to pursue a deeper realm of knife skills, he deliberately chose a different life from before. Since he was put into Luo Chengyu's command by fate, although Lian Wuxian has been reused, most of his mind is still on martial arts, and he is not like Ximen Rin who has gone to great lengths to maintain Luo Chengyu's status, so for Yang Ning, he is curious and wary, but he does not have the obsession to get rid of it quickly.

Even so, Lian Wuxian was more wary than good for Yang Ning, after all, the last meeting left a deep impression on him, especially the madness like a moth in the Tao Pavilion, which made him still remember it vividly, is such a person really the bloodline heir of the Fire Phoenix County Lord? Before he went south, he actually had some doubts in his heart, and it was not until this moment that he felt Yang Ning's innate dignity and majesty, and he really confirmed the identity of this young man, no matter how doubtful, but new doubts arose again, if this person was the enemy of the lord he served, what kind of tragic result would it be? Thinking of this, Lian Wuxian felt very uneasy.

Under Yang Ning's deliberate coercion, the horse that was one in a thousand miles became more and more uneasy, and even his limbs began to tremble a little. As he spoke, he released his true qi to block the innate true qi that overflowed from Yang Ning's body.

As soon as the two of them came into contact with their true qi, Yang Ning suddenly became restrained in his true qi, and he had already prepared for practicing without a trace, and he stopped almost at the same time, and he didn't almost lose it like the one in Xuanyuan Tai, Yang Ning's eyes flashed with appreciation, and he said lightly: "Your martial arts have made great progress, no wonder he dares to send you to see me, aren't you afraid that I will break his right arm?"

Lian Wuxian smiled calmly: "Gongzi's words are serious, His Royal Highness and Gongzi Xuanyuan Tai are engaged, although there is a slight misunderstanding in Taoge, in Gongzi is a promise, it is inconvenient to keep his hand, in His Highness is a life and death situation, can not help but fight back, although there are many injuries, but fortunately, His Highness and Gongzi are safe and sound, every time His Royal Highness thinks about this, he is very happy." Even though Miss Qingping did not understand His Royal Highness's painstaking efforts and fled without authorization, His Royal Highness did not blame Miss Lu Qi, but personally healed Miss Lu Qi's injuries and extended medical conditioning, such affectionate friendship, although His Royal Highness had no intention of inviting credit, but without a trace as His Royal Highness's guard, he could not help but confess his heart to Gongzi on behalf of the Lord. The change of Chibi was not the instigation of His Royal Highness, the commander of Ximen misunderstood His Highness's intentions and regarded the prince as a threat, so he intended to kill people with a knife, although this kind of thing was against His Highness's original intention, but it was also the painstaking work of the commander of Ximen, for the sake of His Highness's safety, he would make mistakes again and again. After His Royal Highness knew the reason, although he also wanted to punish the commander of Simon severely, but he remembered that the commander of Simon had meritorious service, and His Royal Highness, as the lord of Xindu, could not make an unfair decision, so he could only dismiss the position of commander of Simon and order him to make meritorious service for his crimes, without investigating his crimes. Please also ask the prince to read the hardships of His Royal Highness, and don't be resentful because of this. ”

Yang Ning was silent for a long time, and said lightly: "Is this what Luo Chengyu wants you to convey?"

Lian Wuxian shook his head and said: "His Royal Highness didn't say so, but he just wanted Wuxian to personally send the BMW Wuhu and Miss Qingping's lost sword, His Royal Highness said that after the matter of Chibi, I am afraid that Gongzi and Miss Qingping will not be willing to see each other willingly, and he doesn't want to be difficult, so he ordered Cheng Yi to be sent to help the two of them. ”

Yang Ning listened carefully to the words in Lian Wuji's words, every word was full of righteousness, if it was changed to others, most of them could only accept it happily, but even if a person like him who was not familiar with intrigue listened, he could hear the deep meaning, and there was a faint alienation in his kindness, but he treated him as a person who needed to be encircled, and although the words were euphemistic, he clearly expressed his refusal. Things have come to such a point, he never believes that Luo Chengyu does not know his true identity, although he has never admitted it, but he has never deliberately concealed it, even if Ximen Rin takes all the responsibility on himself, but even he can feel Ximen Rin's loyalty to Luo Chengyu, and the practice without a trace in front of him, although his martial arts are not as good as his own, but if he thinks about it carefully, he is already a rare master, and he is a guard who is deeply trusted by Luo Chengyu, but he is afraid that his identity is not a secret in his eyes, whether it is Ximen Rin's betrayal and murder, or Lian Wuxi's rejection, isn't it Luo Chengyu's intention。 Although he had been prepared, Yang Ning still felt disheartened when he thought that returning to his longing homeland was a dream that he could not reach after all.

Catching the pain and despair that swept through Yang Ning's eyes, Lian Wuji's heart moved slightly, although he didn't understand why Luo Chengyu acted differently, but whether it was the ardent expectations in the past or the later polite rejection, Lian Wuxian could feel the sincerity of His Royal Highness the Prince, but he didn't know if this Ninth Highness would be able to understand His Royal Highness's sincerity, I just hope that this person will not be like those careerists who are eyeing him, and he will also treat His Royal Highness the Prince as a hostile enemy.

It's just that out of Lian Wuxi's expectations, this trace of weakness disappeared in Yang Ning's eyes as deep as the abyssal sea almost instantly, Yang Ning looked up and sighed lightly: "It's okay, the last time I was outnumbered, so I missed, and failed to take the life of His Royal Highness the Prince, it is already a great shame in my next life, if we meet again, I don't know when I will kill the machine, and if I don't see each other, I will avoid the entanglement of each other's demons." I don't know if he ordered you to send a BMW sabre, but did you say when you sent Sister Luqi back, she was seriously injured and dying that day, because he respected His Royal Highness the Prince of the World with a bright mind, and took the liberty of entrusting the two sisters, and now that he has survived, this entrustment naturally does not need to continue, what does Brother Lian think?"

Lian Wuxian looked at Yang Ning's indifferent and deep eyes, and couldn't help but feel nervous in his heart, after all, he underestimated this young man's perseverance, and it was also said that he could be an ordinary person as the Demon Emperor Chu Er, not to mention that this young man still had the blood of that strange woman flowing on his body. calmed down his mind for a while, and said respectfully without a trace: "Miss Lu Qi disregarded her own safety in Liyang, and rashly used the sound of the Heavenly Demon Qin, so that the internal injuries aggravated, although she was treated by His Royal Highness, but she was still ill, even if she had Qi Huang's wonderful hands, it would take three years and two years to recuperate. Zijing Gongzi and Miss Qingping travel the world, at ease, if Miss Lu Qi accompanies them, but they will inevitably work hard, and the old injuries will be difficult to heal, His Royal Highness, Miss Lu Qi may wish to live in Xindu for a few more years, and it is not too late to meet the two of them after she is well. ”

Yang Ning couldn't help sneering in his heart, these days, he listened to the conversation between Qingping and Yue Zhongqing, and already knew that if today's situation is about to erupt, two or three years later, I am afraid that Luo Chengyu has secured the throne of King Yan, and when the time comes, the power will be overwhelming, even if he does not rebel, there is no one to restrain him, how can he still be the enemy of King Yan who is divided into seclusion, unless he becomes a puppet and is willing to be manipulated by others, he has some permission. It's just that no matter whether what Luo Chengyu said is true or false, Sister Luqi can only be a hostage and stay in Xindu in the past few years.

Thinking of this, Yang Ning's eyebrows flashed with mockery, that person is worthy of being his mother's righteous son, with clever means, not leaking, and all his resistance may be wiped out invisibly, even if he really has the heart to compete with him, with his shallow mind, I am afraid that it will also be the result of failure. The mother has never given herself the opportunity to be an enemy of him, and even the only possible means of revenge for herself has been limited by the promise, but the mother and the person still despise themselves, this Yan Wang throne is as precious as others, but he only thinks of it as a sloppy shoe, glory and wealth are not what he wants, and what he hopes for in his heart is just a praise from his mother, a little warmth.

Of course, from beginning to end, Yang Ning never thought that Luo Chengyu would fail, no matter how Yue Zhongqing tried to persuade and swear, he only believed that the righteous son who had high hopes from his mother, the brother he once admired, was not such an easy person to with.

There were thousands of turns in his heart, and in the end Yang Ning just said indifferently: " It's okay, I let people tell His Royal Highness the Prince of the World must have spread to Xindu, if Luo Chengyu bullied Sister Lu Qi, I will take her life with my own hands, even you people, all of you will be buried for Sister Lu Qi, and don't forget to tell him for me, he doesn't think that this can threaten me, I just think that I have a little affection in the past, so I don't embarrass him, if there is anyone who dares to offend me, I will go to Xindu in person, and kill a river of blood, do you remember clearly?"

Lian Wuxian smiled faintly, although he knew that Yang Ning's words were not just a threat, but in Luo Chengyu's side for several years, he had already known the temperament of the lord, not to mention that His Royal Highness the Prince of the World was quite fond of Miss Lu Qi, even if there was no such affection, as well as the origin of Shuangjue and Youji, His Royal Highness the Prince would never use a woman to coerce the opponent so bluntly, for the enemy, before he could make trouble, His Royal Highness the Prince of the World would always have cut off all the ways of life of that person, and then a fatal blow would never fall into the mouth. It was he who secretly threatened Yang Ning and Qingping These words, which he figured out by himself according to the situation, Luo Chengyu only had a few words in addition to asking him to send him a sword and a famous horse, and he only had a few words, and he was only instructed to greet Yang Ning, of course, he also paid attention to his words, and he definitely wouldn't let people grab the handle, even if Luo Chengyu heard it with his own ears, he could only smile bitterly.

The heart is as transparent as ice, and he said without a trace, without humility or arrogance: " Childe's martial arts are peerless, given time, he must be a generation of grandmasters, not to mention killing Youji blood into a river, that is, to fight the world, ambush millions of corpses, it may not be impossible, but after the county lord, there is no bully in Youji, and there is no greed for life and fear of death, if Childe occupies the reason, even if he comes alone, no one dares to hurt Childe, if Childe is murderous for no reason, even if it is a three-foot child, he also dares to use a sword to block the king's road, Miss Luqi, talent is unique, noble character, seven-string guqin is good at playing mountains and flowing water, His Royal Highness is a bosom friend, love is still insufficient, there is no reason to do harm, Zijing Gongzi and Miss Qingping although rest assured, by His Royal Highness's side, Miss Luqi will be safe and sound. ”

Yang Ning is not good at words after all, he was blocked by the words of practicing the needle hidden in the traceless cotton and could no longer speak, this person is not an ordinary opponent he can easily determine, his face can't help but become more and more cold, his left hand can't help but hold the Ning Qing sword in his sleeve tightly, although through the sword bag, but you can almost feel the sharpness of the sword edge that cuts the gold and jade, and you can also feel the biting chill, for a long time, finally held back the fire in your heart, don't look away coldly, Yang Ning said indifferently: "You go, if you talk more, I'm afraid that no one can save your life." ”

Lian Wuxian also knew that Yang Ning must be very angry in his heart, although he had a flamboyant temperament and was not afraid of death, he didn't want to anger Yang Ning again at this time, so he bent down slightly, and wanted to leave, but before his footsteps moved, Qingping raised his voice and said: "Why are the guards so eager to leave, although Zijing allowed you to leave, I still have nothing to say." ”

Lian Wuxian frowned slightly, in the past, he followed Luo Chengyu on the way north, and Lu Qi Qingping saw each other every day, naturally knew the temperament of the two women, Lu Qi was cold and graceful, even if there was dissatisfaction, it was just frowning and sighing, as long as it did not damage the dignity, and would not be too forced, Qingping was different, although the serious injury had not healed, but it was always provocative, it was really a fiery temperament, before Fang Cai showed up, he was worried that Qingping would speak disrespectfully, but he didn't expect that Qingping let Yang Ning negotiate with him, and never said a word, he originally thought that this woman had changed her temperament, but at this moment she knew that the country was easy to change, and her nature was difficult to change, so it was mostly to take care of Yang Ning's face, Qingping will be silent, and now seeing that Yang Ning's words are frustrated, this woman is naturally unwilling to be reconciled, isn't this a provocation. It's just that although he had this thought in his heart, he could only smile bitterly: "What else does Miss Qingping have to say, Lian Mou just listens to it." ”

Qingping raised her hand and took off her hat, revealing a beautiful and beautiful face, but her willow eyebrows were upside down, her phoenix eyes were mighty, and she pointed at Lian Wuxian and said coldly: "It's not a command, I just ask you to tell your lord a word, tell him not to bully Zijing and be honest, my sister is kind, you must know that I, Yin Qingping, am not a person who can be bullied." I don't know what tricks Luo Chengyu used to trick my sister into staying in Xindu, although I don't want to admit it, but Your Royal Highness is indeed a humble gentleman, and you must not be rude to your sister, besides, after all, it was Zijing's intention that let me and my sister fall into the hands of His Royal Highness the Prince of the World. But Ximen Rin's treachery in Chibi can be exposed with a sentence or two? If it weren't for the fact that you came to sue for peace on the order of the surname Luo, and you still have to look at the face of the master to beat the dog, we would have to let you go this time, otherwise how could we allow you to talk here endlessly, emulating Su Qin and Zhang Yi's behavior as a lobbyist. But since His Royal Highness the Prince intends to seek peace, you can't just use a horse as a gift of reparation, this sword was originally mine, and now you are just returning it to its original owner, if you don't show more sincerity, I will simply capture you, and then let your master exchange it for my sister. If His Royal Highness the Prince thinks it's not worth it, at most we can capture a few more eagle dogs like you, and presumably Luo Chengyu won't care about the lives of your henchmen. ”

Lian Wuxian couldn't help but glance at Yang Ning when he heard this, but when he saw that Yang Ning's expression was not moving, he put his mind at ease and laughed: "I have heard for a long time that Dongting is unique, the qin is like a white lotus with clear water, the dust is not clean, the sword is like a thorny rose, and the delicate interpretation is piercing. It's just that a smart person like Miss can be blinded by sisterhood? Although His Royal Highness the Prince and Prince Zijing have old grievances, they cherish each other after all, and they may not be enemies who share the same sky in the future. On the contrary, some people have ill intentions and bad intentions, and today's instigation of Lin Daxia to come is an example, and this noble son's arrogance and offense is also an example. The so-called open guns are easy to dodge, but hidden arrows are difficult to prevent, Miss Don't forget that Mr. Qingjue was originally a military advisor in the county lord's curtain, and there is no deep hatred between the two sides, so why bother to fight-for-tat, so that the relatives are bitter and hateful? Besides, Prince Zijing also used to be a brother with His Royal Highness, and he must know His Royal Highness's character and mind, could it be that Prince Zijing really thought that His Royal Highness left Miss Luqi, was it a threat?"

Qingping heard the words, remembering the origin of Mr. Shizun Qingjue and Youji, if it weren't for Zijing today, I was afraid that my sisters would happily stay in Youji, thinking of this, she had to pause angrily, no longer talking, but turned her head to look at Yang Ning, waiting for his decision, although she could persuade Zijing with words, but the final decision still needs to be decided by Yang Ning himself.

Yang Ning pondered for a long time, Fang sighed: "Naturally, he won't use Sister Luqi to coerce me, I understand that he is not such a person, but he also knows that if he really threatens him, it will only be self-defeating, and now he doesn't have to say anything, but it is enough to threaten me." ”

Lian Wuxian was slightly shocked in his heart, there were originally a thousand words to refute, but Yang Ning's faint words had already made him speechless, indeed, this is exactly Luo Chengyu's true meaning, if he really threatened with Lu Qi, I am afraid that this Ning will be broken jade, and most of the young people who are not for the tile will fight to break the net, just like those who held Yang Ning hostage and forced Yang Ning to assassinate Luo Chengyu that day, the final result is just death without a place to be buried. On the contrary, not saying anything is the biggest threat to this young man, but these thoughts were figured out by a person who can be called a confidant of him, after meditating for a long time, but this young man broke through the words, so that Lian Wuxian had nothing to say, but also felt frightened. With such qualifications, it is worthy of being the son of Huofeng, the true legend of the Demon Emperor, if this person is an enemy of the Lord, I am afraid that even if there are thousands of means and thousands of scheming, it may not be able to come in handy in front of this young man, until this time, Lian Wuxian understood why Luo Chengyu ordered himself to show favor to Yang Ning, such a character, although it is not easy to make friends, but it is better not to be hostile, Ximen Rin failed to achieve his goal, but formed such a big enemy, I am afraid that the future is in danger.

But at this time, even if the tongue blooms lotus, it can't change Yang Ning's mind, and Lian Wuxian naturally won't do it knowing that he can't do it, so he didn't say anything to justify, but just smiled faintly and said: "After seeing people's hearts for a long time, Prince Zijing will be able to understand His Highness's hard work in the future, but what Miss Qingping said is not wrong, but this horse is naturally not a generous gift, but Lian came in a hurry, and there is nothing else around, so only this token can be gifted, and I also ask Prince Zijing to smile." With that, he took out a token made of Yanshan red jade from his bosom and handed it to Yang Ning.

Yang Ning swept his eyes, only to see that a line of inscription on the token was engraved with "Yanshan Le Shi, Yi Shui Song Sadness", and the next line of small characters was the name and identity of Lian Wuxi, the inscription was gold and jade, and the iron drew silver hook, which was the handwriting of the lord of Huofeng, the line of small characters was graceful and handsome, and the hidden front was introverted, although I don't know who wrote it, but looking at the words and knowing people, Yang Ning has a vague shadow in his mind.

Although I don't know the situation inside Youji, but Yang Ning still knows the value of such a jade card, practicing without a trace as a master of the Heavenly Group, since this jade plate is his identity token, it can make people feel free in Youji, not to mention giving it to others, it is not too lost is also a big crime, Yang Ning was reluctant to accept this jade card, so as not to be involved too much with Youji, but when he thought of Lian Wuji's intentions, he felt that he couldn't bear to refuse, it seemed that after Peng Ze, his heart was much softer, and he always couldn't help but think about it, sighed lightly, Yang Ning took the token, and said indifferently"The token right is used as a token, and on the day of Sister Luqi's return, she will return it as a gift." ”

Lian Wuxian gave away the identity token, originally it was his own assertion, even if it was Luo Chengyu, he never thought of shackling Yang Ning with a token, up and down, probably only he had the courage to transfer the jade plate that could not be separated from the body for a moment without authorization, seeing that Yang Ning's eyes were indifferent, but the light was gone, obviously he had been struggling in his heart for a long time, and he actually took it, even if he was a character like Lian Wuji, he felt a little proud, of course he didn't dare to reveal his thoughts, but said respectfully:" If Zijing Gongzi has a need, he only needs to summon him with a token, and they will obey the order, that is, he is useful enough to practice a certain place, and he is willing to serve the child. ”

Yang Ning's eyes flashed with mockery, and the token was just to value the courage to practice without a trace, he has one person and one sword, enough to dominate the world, why do you need others to help, but this kind of thought, but there is no need to talk to others, slightly bowed, but a trace of regret flashed in his eyes, although it has not been a long time since the battle of Tingtao Pavilion, but the person in front of him is becoming more and more uninhibited and wild, presumably the entry of the sword technique is not small, but it is a pity that he still has to hurry, otherwise he can compete with this person again, it is also a great pleasure, thinking of this, Yang Ning can't help but have a fighting spirit, and a pair of eyes have become brilliant。

Lian Wuxian is also a top master, if you talk about the knife technique, and Yang Ning also has the power of a battle, feeling the sudden outbreak of battle intent on Yang Ning's body, the first thought is to draw a knife to challenge, if you can see Yang Ning's beautiful knife technique like flying snow, I think it will definitely benefit immensely, but this heart together, Luo Chengyu's graceful and elegant figure floated in front of him, he was ordered to come, in order to bridge the relationship between His Royal Highness and Zijing, if he challenges now, I am afraid that Yang Ning will misunderstand His Royal Highness's sincerity, since he has the heart to serve the prince of Yan Wang, then he must not knowingly commit it, not to mention that if he fights in a hurry, it is like a dragonfly dotting water, it is difficult to have fun, it's better to find another opportunity and fight a hearty battle, wouldn't it be happy. Thinking of this, he gathered up the war intent in his heart, and said goodbye with a long bow: "Lian was presumptuous, obstructed the child's trip, the mountains are high and the water is long, and there is a period of meeting. ”

Yang Ning's heart turned back and forth, and he also felt that it was not suitable to fight at this time, so he said lightly: "It's okay, by the way, how did you know that we were going to Jinling?" Thinking of Lian Wuxian repeatedly mentioning that he was in a hurry, Yang Ning couldn't help but have questions, so he asked casually, he didn't think it was serious, but Qingping knew it, could it be that the whereabouts of himself and others were all noticed by Youji, wouldn't it be too dangerous, thinking of this, Qingping couldn't help but hold the Chunjun sword, and the murderous intent in her eyes swept by, but Yang Ning was calm in his eyes, and there was nothing unusual.

Lian Wuxian smiled slightly, but did not answer, turned around and did not enter the willow forest, the moment the figure disappeared, there was a wisp of singing in the air, just like the wind away, but for a moment, it was already inaudible, but the sentence "But the laughing hero has no good hands, and a penny of spring water goes away Cao Hide" is clearly audible.

Qingping's face couldn't help but change slightly, this song was originally sung by her and Yang Ning and Yi Buping on the way to get the secret treasure, at this moment, Lian Wuxian said a word, obviously not only knew about his party going to Chaohu Lake to get treasure, but even knew the purpose of Yi Buping's trip to Jinling, his mind turned back and forth, but he caught a glimpse of Yang Ning's deep and quiet eyes, and only felt that a heart instantly relaxed. Regardless of whether the intention of the prince of Yan to seek peace is true or not, but this secret will not be revealed this time, so why should he worry? Thinking of this, Qingping couldn't help but smile, led the white horse, turned over, flicked the whip lightly, and shouted: "Zijing, let's try the footsteps of the mount." With that, he spurred his horse and galloped away, leaving a laugh like silver bells along the way. Yang Ning learned the news of Lu Qi, and his heart was already settled, coupled with Luo Chengyu's overtures, whether he believed it or not, he felt that he had solved a problem, and when he saw Qingping's doubts disappear, he also got on the horse and chased after him. I don't know if this black horse is more magical, or Qingping intends to give in, but after a while, I have caught up with Qingping, and the two of them are riding horses side by side, people are like beautiful jade horses like dragons, until the figure is drowned in smoke and dust, there are still many people who are stunned to look at the backs of this pair of young men and women, and they can't speak for a long time.

I don't know how long it took for Lin Qun to come to his senses, and he returned the long sword to the sheath in a daze, and it wasn't until this moment that he understood the meaning of the word Demon Emperor, which was ruthless and ruthless. The name of the willful and reckless person, a character like himself has never been put in his eyes at all, just in front of him, he killed the two guards of the young man in white without any scruples, but let go of the young man in white, although it is cutting the grass and not eradicating the roots, but it does not give people the illusion of soft-heartedness, it is a means to completely destroy the opponent's fighting spirit, Lin Qun can feel the cruelty, but there is no possibility of even denouncing, the two of them used a secret weapon to sneak attack Qingping in front, although it is to save people, but it is not a fair move anyway, not to mention that the demon emperor killed two people in a fair duel, this matter is not right when it comes to the young man in white.

And what worries Lin Qun even more is the young man in black who claims to be the guard of the prince of Yan, his attitude towards the demon emperor who once assassinated his lord is too ambiguous, and if it is unreasonable, he is a demon, such a thing is seen by himself, and he no longer knows whether it is a blessing or a curse, when the young man in black is leaving, he once hinted that his trip to stop the demon emperor and the sword absolute is caused by someone's conspiracy, although he is vague, but Lin Qun thinks about it and feels quite reasonable. It's just that he absolutely doesn't want to believe that the well-intentioned Fairy Yan will have the heart to use him, but if this is not the case, why would Yan Zishuang signal himself to come to stop the Demon Emperor? You must know that if you are not careful, you may die in the hands of the vicious and ruthless Demon Emperor, if you die, I am afraid that the Demon Emperor and Jian Jue will encounter desperate revenge as long as they go to Wujiang again, but in front of such peerless masters, even if their disciples and relatives and friends do whatever they want, the only end is only to die. But if it was really as she imagined, why did Yan Zishuang frame herself again, and what did her death mean to her? I can't figure out what the truth of the matter is, but in any case, Lin Qun knows that it is impossible for him to prove that Yan Zishuang intends to do this, because Yan Zishuang did not signal him to do this from beginning to end, not even hinting, she just passed through the Wujiang River and went to the riverside to pay tribute to the Overlord Temple, and in front of herself, the landlord, she lightly mentioned that there was such a person, who was killed and injured everywhere he passed, and was about to pass through the Wujiang River, but as a result, he got himself into this unclear situation, if there was no conspiracy, even a three-year-old child would not believe it.

Thinking of this, he only felt that his heart seemed to sink into the cold abyss, and Lin Qun summoned the two disciples a little tiredly, preparing to leave this place. But at this moment, a frightened shout suddenly came from behind him: "Master, be careful!"

Lin Qun hurriedly looked back, and saw one of his disciples falling from the window of the restaurant, and fell on the hard ground in front of the building, but on the throat of this young disciple was a poisonous cone, Lin Qun's pupils instantly contracted, and there were continuous screams from the restaurant, Lin Qun pressed the hilt of the sword with his right hand, and was about to fly upstairs, and there was also a miserable cry beside him, Lin Qun looked sideways, and then his eyes widened in shock. I saw that the originally unconscious young man in white was holding a sharp sword, slowly pulling it out from a person, and the person who was killed was the traveler who was taken away by the Demon Emperor with the saber on his waist, and at this moment the saber in his hand had just been pulled out halfway, but his chest had been pierced by the sword. And in the place where the young man originally fainted, among the fallen leaves and stumps, there was a person who fell in a pool of blood, and it was he who was worried about the cold of early winter, so he secretly sent to take care of the shopkeeper of the unconscious young man

Feeling Lin Qun's angry gaze, the eyes of the white-clothed young man in front of Liu Lin also drifted to Lin Qun, and his eyes, which had already returned to normal before the coma, were dyed with blood again at this moment, as if they were the eyes of a demon in hell, and his face was still handsome and elegant, with a little pride and a little contempt, as if he was the appearance of a good son in the turbid world, and the blood-red cloak behind him hunted and danced, setting off the handsome demeanor of the jade tree in the wind, but when he fell into Lin Qun's eyes, he only felt like a devil, and he couldn't help but burst his eyes, and shouted"Good and evil, why do you want to kill innocents indiscriminately, don't stop, otherwise Lin will take your life even if he is broken." ”

Yang Ying raised his hand to wipe away the blood on his lips, and sneered: "Do you know what kind of person I am, how can I allow the villager to be humiliated, I was unfortunately defeated by others today, and I secretly survived, it is already a great shame in my life, if I let you ordinary people spread my ugly things, what face do I have to stand in the world under the world, surnamed Lin, you accept your fate today, if you don't kill you, won't it make me sleep, who let you not exert all your strength to help me kill that idiot and stupid." ”

Lin Qun only felt angry, and said sharply with his sword: "How can this be true, Lin Mou is not sorry for you, and he has also tried his best to save you, if you don't think about the kindness, you will take revenge, it is really shameless." But don't dream, there are more than 100 people here, even if you are in the next person with a sword, you don't want to kill people, the people upstairs are killing and wreaking, but your guards don't let him stop, otherwise Lin will take your dog's life to sacrifice the soul. ”

Yang Ying laughed loudly: "Of course it's my person upstairs, his martial arts are a hundred times better than yours, even my martial arts are not comparable to you, and although I can't kill the eyes and ears of this place alone, what if my people shoot together?"

Lin Qun was stunned when he heard this, only to hear the screams of the guests who fled one after another, and looked around with the afterglow of his eyes, only to see that at some point, some blue-shirted people appeared in all directions, surrounded by a closed circle, they all walked calmly, and where they passed, those guests who fled in a panic screamed and fell, this situation obviously has the full determination to kill everything.

Lin Qun clenched his sword, only to feel that his heart gradually trembled, he was self-aware, not to mention that his lungs and intestines that had just been injured by Yang Ning's sword qi had not yet healed, even if they were intact, he was not sure that he would escape in front of these blue-shirted people who had tacit cooperation. It's just that at this moment, the willow forest is already bleeding in front and back. In troubled times, those travelers were carrying swords, and they originally had some self-preservation power, but in front of these masters, they were about to collapse at the touch of a button, whether they wanted to break through with their own strength, or they joined forces to form a formation and wanted to resist stubbornly, they were all divided and surrounded by these blue-shirted people, breaking through the slaughter. But Lin Qun couldn't do anything, because the pressure and killing machine that emanated from the seriously injured white-clothed young man had already enveloped him, and the young man who was vulnerable in front of the Demon Emperor was not a figure that he Lin Qun could easily deal with.

Unable to bear the increasingly mocking look on the face of the white-clothed young man, Lin Qun finally took out his sword angrily and desperately, the sword qi broke through the air, and before he touched the body of the white-clothed young man, Lin Qun only felt that there were several winds behind him, and he shot down a few poisonous vertebrae with blue light with his backhand, and was surrounded by three blue-shirted people, these three people are all good at martial arts, compared to Lin Qun, and they don't plan to use real swords and real guns, they are all holding swords in one hand and wearing deerskin gloves in the other, obviously they can launch a quenched hidden weapon poison cone at any time。

Lin Qun waved his long sword, the sword aura was like a rainbow, forcing a few people to fight and besiege, and it was too late to release the hidden weapon, such a wild offensive could not last, once the sword slowed down, it would be counterattacked, but what made him more worried was the young man in white who was eyeing him from a distance, although he was just standing in a distance to watch the battle, but Lin Qun could feel that the vicious gaze of the young man in white was always fixed on him. A sword stabbed down a blue-shirted man who was a little impatient because he couldn't attack for a long time, Lin Qun breathed a sigh of relief, and his eyes swept everywhere, only to see that there were corpses all over the ground. Another of his disciples was being pierced to the ground by several swords together. And those blue-shirted men have begun to clean up the battlefield, mending a knife or a sword to everyone who has fallen to the ground. Lin Qun knew that it would be difficult to escape, and he shouted and asked in a long voice with grief and anger in his heart: "Who are you, why do you kill civilians indiscriminately, and take revenge so kindly, are you really not as good as beasts, aren't you afraid to spread it out, and be ashamed of the people of the world?"

Yang Ying's eyebrows frowned slightly when he heard this, and his eyes glanced at a man in a green shirt who was slowly walking out of the restaurant, the person was covered with a square scarf on his face, and his body was slightly shorter, but his demeanor was graceful, even if he was wiping the blood stains on the sword with a white silk handkerchief, he was also elegant. Hearing Lin Qun's shouting and scolding, he said loudly: "What if it spreads out, you people are naturally killed by the Demon Emperor and the sword, and the corpses are burned and destroyed, which is outrageous." Since my brother was seriously injured, I have set up this plan, gathered people, blocked the road, except for the Demon Emperor, Sword Jue, and the Demon Sword Practice Without a Trace, no one is allowed to enter, not to go out. This seat can guarantee that no outsider will survive this place. When the time comes, there is no evidence, even if the three of them speak in unison, accusing their brother of killing people and killing people, what does it matter. Do you say that people in the world will believe in a noble son with a noble status, or will they believe in the notorious Demon Emperor and Sword Jue, or that notorious killer Lian Wuxi? In the end, people in the world will only think that the Demon Emperor and the Prince of Yan are in collusion. Besides, although it's just a hurry, you think the Demon Emperor is so self-respecting. Will you really be aggrieved and explain?"

Lin Qun became more and more angry when he heard this, but his heart couldn't help but move, seeing the figure of this masked man, he seemed to have seen this person above the restaurant, but this person's appearance was ordinary, and he couldn't see any signs of practicing martial arts, so he ignored this person. Lin Qun only felt that in an instant, he was no longer conscious from the elbow of his left hand. Knowing that it was not good, he forced his true qi to swing out with a sword, stabbing a blue-shirted man to the ground, taking advantage of the fact that there was only one enemy left in front of him, swiping a few swords to force this person back, Lin Qun rushed towards the gap in the encirclement without hesitation, and used a sword move in his hand to defeat both sides, wanting to escape with his life. But just as he rushed out of the encirclement of several blue-shirted people who were chasing and intercepting one after another, a long sword suddenly appeared on the left rib and penetrated through his body. Lin Qun's eyes flashed the hideous smile of the white-clothed young man, his body was weak, and he opened his mouth to speak, but blood gushed out of his mouth. Feeling a strong pain coming from under his ribs, he couldn't even feel the long sword being pulled out, he only felt that half of his body was soaked in blood in an instant, and the poisonous gas had invaded along his arm to the heart, Lin Qun could no longer hold the saber in his hand, and there was a slight sound of the saber falling to the ground in his ears, and then he fell to the cold mud.

When he gradually sank into the darkness of death, Lin Qun heard an ethereal and distant voice and said: "Cousin, you are too reckless this time, if it weren't for me even if I arrived, I'm afraid you would have been killed by the Demon Emperor, don't forget your identity, Your Majesty and father have strict orders to go to Jiangning immediately, and you are not allowed to live any more rights and wrongs." The white-clothed young man's answer began to become blurred, and the screams in his ears began to thin out, and Lin Qun had only one thought in his heart, why he hadn't died yet.

Under the command of the green-shirted man who came out of the restaurant, the blue-shirted guards who were still alive skillfully threw all the corpses into the restaurant, and Lin Qun's body was thrown into the restaurant by the white-clothed young man himself, but perhaps because he believed in his own swordsmanship, or the poison on the poison cone, he did not make up for the sword. After that, the people began to collect the things that started the fire, piled them up in the restaurant and other houses, and then poured the spirits found in the cellar of the restaurant on top of them and threw them into a few torches. As the flames rose into the sky, the blue-shirted men took their companion's body and found the horses behind a small hill not far away, and the group hurried away.

After the flames spread, the billowing smoke could be seen within a radius of ten miles without a line of sight, but in the time of a stick of incense, the sound of the alarm gong and the wolf smoke had spread the news of the fire at the three forks, and many villages closed their doors, strong men took up their swords, and the old and weak women and children hid in the cellars. Although it is already the unification of the world, the undercurrent is turbulent, bandits are rampant, almost all the villages have dug trenches on the periphery, planted thorns, and only need to hold a few roads to keep the property of relatives. And almost every village, there are at least five or six people composed of small groups of men and horses, riding out of the village, if you look down on the world from the sky, when you can see the whole Wujiang River is centered on the three forks, quickly armed, and these small groups of men and horses like a hundred rivers converge to form several groups of light horses, some to patrol back and forth, some to block the road, and some to gather to the place where the fire started. In the past three years, not only have bandits disappeared in Wujiang, but even the officers and soldiers sent by the imperial court and the Yue Guogong to collect taxes do not dare to do anything wrong.

After the blue-shirted men left, a man suddenly stood up from an uneven clearing in the willow forest and walked towards the restaurant. This person was wearing a dark cloak similar to the color of the ground, so no one noticed it when he lay on the ground, but it must not be the only one, most of them used some special technique, and it was not just the illusion of human eyesight, so that it could be hidden under the inspection of those sharp-eyed masters. As the man walked, he revealed the dark gray robe he was wearing, which was a special garment, and there was nothing unusual when he stood still, but when he moved quickly, the robe did not hinder the movements of his body in the slightest, and it was silent, and the color of the garment would not be rude to wear it during the day, but at night, it could be used as a night garment. By virtue of this shirt alone, it is known that this person is by no means an ordinary person, and that he has a slender and well-fitting figure, and a graceful demeanor, although his face is covered with a green veil, but judging from his handsome eyebrows and eyes and the elegant atmosphere that is outward, this person must be elegant and handsome. But judging from the starfrost on his temples and his fair skin with a slightly frosty color, it can be seen that this person is not a young man. In addition, this person's eyes are as bright as morning stars, but they are as deep as the night sky and the abyssal sea, and there is no smoke and fire between his gestures. No matter who this person is, he is by no means an obscure person.

Standing in front of the sea of fire for a moment, this person suddenly flew into the sea of fire, like a moth to the fire, instantly drowned in the flames, I don't know how long later, the sound of beams and pillars collapsing in the flames, before the door of the building was completely closed by the flames, two overlapping figures rushed out of the flames, look carefully, but this person wrapped a person with a cloak out, the fabric of this cloak must be heat-resistant, the corners of the gray robe and the tips of the hair on this person have been burned out of many scorch marks by the fire, the cloak has not changed except for being blackened. The man opened his cloak, revealing a man covered in blood, his face was covered by blood, and he couldn't see the outline of his appearance, and after picking up the man for a while, the man in gray stuffed several pills of different sizes into the mouth of the unconscious man, and then quickly stopped the bleeding with a golden needle and released the poison, and after a stick of incense, he picked up the unconscious man and left quickly. Disappeared without a trace before the arrival of the township corps training in Wujiang.

At the same time, fifteen miles away at the Wujiang ferry, dressed in green clothes and as beautiful as a fairy, Yan Zishuang stood in front of the Overlord Temple, looking at the billowing black smoke and skyrocketing fire in the sky, and a pair of bright eyes dyed with the color of flames, but the eye waves were still as cold as the cold river, without anger or joy.

The river outside Li Xu is like a shuttle, a small boat cruising like a fish, crossing an arc on the river, leisurely stopping on the edge of the ferry, a man dressed as a fisherman walked ashore with his head down, stood still behind Yan Zishuang, and said in a deep voice: "Yan Mei has arrived in Jinling, but she refuses to live in the post house of Mochou Lake, and she didn't tell me her whereabouts, but she accidentally heard the sound of Xiao on Luoxing Mountain, so Ju guessed that Yan Mei should live in Luoxing Tower." ”

Yan Zishuang sighed lightly when she heard this, and said: "Although Senior Sister Ping is invisible, but the most important love in her life, the uncle is dead, and the most painful and saddest is her, Luoxing Mountain, Luoxing Tower, relatives are disappearing like stars, Senior Sister Ping will most likely live in Luoxing Tower, and you don't have to send someone to reveal information to her, as long as the whereabouts of the Demon Emperor and Jian Jue remain unchanged, she will definitely be found." After that, Yan Zishuang suddenly pointed to the distance and said, "Can Brother Ju see the mystery of this fire?"

Juzhong looked at the distance of the direction, and suddenly his heart moved, and said: "There is an official road from west to east, and according to the secret report I got a few days ago, most of the distinguished guests passed by there today." ”

Yan Zishuang sighed sadly: "That's right. Juzhong's expression changed suddenly when he heard this.

A few days later, the rumor of the Demon Emperor's bloody washing of the Wujiang Willow Forest spread, pouring along the river to the major states and counties in the north and south, adding a bit of a strong color to the bloody and cruel name of the Demon Emperor.
