Although she has the surname of Dailou and is respected as the princess of Miaojiang, her status is extraordinary, but Miaojiang is a region where the strong are kings, and if she is not strong, it is difficult to bear the weight of her surname.

When Dailou Sangyu was still a little girl, Zhao Wu'an had seen her thrown into the Gu pit several times and accepted ten thousand insects.

The Gu pit is about three zhang deep, four feet square, the round wall is smooth and flat, countless poisonous insects in the pit press each other, feed on each other, limbs and insects accumulate a thick layer, like pouring a large bucket of colorful sand into a dry well.

Every year, Dailou Sangyu is thrown into such a pit twice. Lasts a full day and a night.

For twelve hours, almost every corner of Dai Lou's house echoed the girl's pleading and crying.

It's like going to hell.

The sound is decreasing, and the ears are endless.

Every time, it will not be until the next day's rooster crows that someone will come to take Dailou Sangyu out of the Gu pit. At that time, Dailou Sangyu was covered in flesh and blood, and his eyes had long been distracted, as muddy as the cloudy sky.

She didn't even have the strength to moan, she was dragged forward like a puppet, and many tiny insects kept coming out of her mouth and nose.

But this is not the end of hell for Sang Yu. For the rest of the day, she had to live alone in a dark, empty tent, turning that painful memory into control over the swarm. No one but the Great Witch was to come near the house.

This is called taming by the Miao people.

Zhao Wu'an had only seen Dailou Sangyu tame once, and he could never forget that scene. So much so that he woke up from his dream several late nights later, listening to the chirping of the nightingale outside the window, and the cry of Dailou Sangyu resounded in his mind.

Later, he finally couldn't bear the pain anymore, and when Dailou Sangyu was tamed again, he protested.

And the result of the protest was that he was kicked out of the Gu pit by Dailou Duyun, and was in the same hell as Dailou Sangyu, and almost didn't come out alive.

Zhao Wu'an stayed in Miaojiang for three years, and Dailou Sangyu also conducted six trainings. He watched Dailou Sangyu change from a deep hatred of training to a gradually numb habit, from a chattering innocent and lively to a taciturn and expressionless wooden ne, from a passionate and innocent Miao Jiang girl to an indifferent girl who looks down on the world.

Because of this, the reunion outside Qingdi Township surprised even Zhao Wuan.

She just put a black veil on top of the Miao costume, and just left the Miao Jiang where she had been growing, and even Dailou Duyun didn't know where she went.

Hangzhou West Lake, Yangzhou Twenty-four Bridge, wherever she wants to go, Zhao Wu'an tries his best to take her through. Because that trip is very likely to be a once-in-a-lifetime adventure for Dailou Sangyu.

Zhao Wu'an really didn't want to leave her with regrets, even though he knew that her life could be said to be a pity.

The stars are shining brightly and the moonlight is quiet.

Zhao Wu'an hugged An Qing and ran with all his strength on the mountain road.

He didn't have to be so fast, after all, what happened in the inn was just a power struggle between Miao Jiang and the Great Song Dynasty, and it had nothing to do with him.

It's just that for some reason, he has always had a strange sense of oppression, as if there is an evil ghost holding a soul hook in the inn behind him, staring at him fiercely.

Actually, he knew. He knew where that feeling came from, and he knew its name.

That kind of thing is called remorse.

An Qing in her arms sighed and opened her eyes.

Zhao Wu'an stopped suddenly.

Unconsciously, he had already run several miles away, and the peak that he could only barely see in the inn before had been trampled under his feet at this time, and he could see the mountains at a glance.

The night sky is full of stars, reflecting the sheep intestine path at your feet, which has been winding into the distance. Zhao Wu stood quietly and silently, his face expressionless.

And An Qing, who had just woken up, came back to her senses, and a look of reproach immediately appeared on her face: "I said you, why did you leave me without saying a word!"

Zhao Wu'an leaned down and gently put An Qing back on the ground. When she stood up straight, she said lightly: "I'm sorry." ”

Under the moonlight, Zhao Wuan's face was slightly lonely. Seeing that he suddenly apologized so bluntly, An Qing turned her head a little embarrassed.

"There's no need to apologize, I don't really blame you...... But don't do it again!

Biting her lip and talking about An Qing with an awkward expression, An Qing is really cute.

Zhao Wuan nodded and shook his head.

"What does this mean?!" An Qing glared at him angrily.

"I need to go back. ”

"Go back?ah, speaking of which, we're ......" An Qing looked around and realized that he had been brought to this wilderness by Zhao Wu'an at some point.

The moonlight was terrible, and there seemed to be a wolf howling in the suburbs. An Qing couldn't help but tremble: "We're already far from that inn!"

"It's a long way off...... Blame me, hesitate. Zhao Wu'an said lightly, "But I still have to go back." ”

The pale moonlight reflected Zhao Wu'an's side face, and An Qing looked at him for a long time, and then stopped talking.

“...... I owe Sangyu a life. After a long time, Zhao Wu'an said softly.

"At that time, not long after Shi Niang died, I fled all the way south from Kunlun, and when I ran to the border of Yunzhou, I finally couldn't support it and fell to the ground, and there was miasma in all directions, if it wasn't for the fact that she happened to travel with the clansmen at that time......"

"Okay, okay, I don't want to hear your stories. An Qing made a stop gesture, paused for a while, and explained, "I don't want to hear it now." ”

An embarrassed look appeared on Zhao Wu'an's face: "So I ......"

"So, you go quickly. An Qing said with a straight face.

Zhao Wu'an was stunned.

An Qing sighed helplessly, stood on tiptoe and babbled with her fingers on the top of his head, "When is it, you are still decided, if you continue to be so indecisive, there will be fewer and fewer people around you?"

Zhao Wu'an took a step back, embarrassed: "But you ......"

"I'm going to be fine! You really think I'm the eldest lady, since it's a wilderness, that is to say, no one will come to harm except for wild beasts, I just need to make a fire and sit here and wait for you?" An Qing hugged her chest as a matter of course and said, "Don't be a bully of the An family!"

How could he think that the An family was a bully. An Qing's brother, but he put all of them together.

Zhao Wu'an just felt a little guilty for no reason: "In the wilderness, leave you here alone......"

"Zhao!no!," An Qing shouted into his ear with a high voice, so high that it scared the beasts in the shadows back a lot, and the howls in the wilderness were suddenly lowered.

"Do what you decide, not only don't hesitate to regret it, but you should also bear the consequences! Zhao Wu'an, this is the kind of person you should become, right?"

Zhao Wu'an narrowed his eyes.

"I didn't even think about what kind of person I was going to be. Zhao Wu'an smiled.

"Then do as you want to do and save Dailou Sangyu. It's really useless for you to take me with you, but I'm not going to be a burden to you. An Qing looked at him with a smile.

"Alas......" Zhao Wu'an sighed slightly, "You are so sensible, it really surprises me." ”

An Qing's face remained unchanged, but she suddenly snorted, raised her legs, and kicked on his spotless white clothes.

Zhao Wu'an took a light step forward and picked up the sword box.

"Come back safely for me, whether it's you or Sangyu. An Qingjiao said.

"After all, I'm a girl too...... If you dare, if you dare to leave me here alone until dawn......"

"Don't dare, don't dare. Zhao Wu'an interrupted her slowly.

A clear sword roar suddenly sounded in the mountains, and immediately, a touch of blue light erupted from Zhao Wu'an's palm. He turned around and handed the pulsatilla in his hand to An Qing.

"After advancing to the second grade, I can finally pin the qi on the sword body, so that it can shine even when it leaves people. ”

An Qing was stunned, and subconsciously took the blue and mighty pulsatilla with both hands and held it in the palm of her hand. The old sword trembled slightly, as if greeting her. She hesitated for a moment, shook her head slightly, and handed back the sharpened sword.

Zhao Wu'an was slightly stunned.

"Six swords come out together, it's Luoshen swordsmanship, right?" An Qing smiled softly at him.

Looking at her smile, Zhao Wu'an was stunned for a moment, exhaled deeply, and nodded solemnly.

"I will definitely come back safely with Sang Yu. ”

Such an empty guarantee seems to really bring strength.

Zhao Wu'an straightened his waist, reached out and tightly pinched the back rope of the sword box, and rushed back along the way he came.

Leaving An Qing alone in the wilderness, if An Guangmao knew about it, he would definitely teach Zhao Wu'an a good lesson regardless of the half-old bones.

just rushed back to the inn and confronted Gu Rulai and Yan Huilai, if these two people saw their current selves, they didn't know what the consequences would be.

But compared with these, Zhao Wuan is more concerned about Dailou Sangyu. She appeared here tonight, knowing that there was a master among the enemies, but she did not flinch half a step. Based on Zhao Wu'an's understanding of her, most of this girl has a mortal heart.

That's not a good idea.

Just like twelve years ago, in order to save Lou Sangyu, Zhao Wu'an jumped off the disgusting Gu pit without hesitation.

Today, twelve years later, Zhao Wu'an, who has reached the realm of the second grade and is full of strength to fight to the death with Dailou Duyun, will also face each other with the first-grade master sword soldiers without hesitation for the sake of Dailou Sangyu.

If you want to ask why.

That's just nonsense.

Which young man on the rivers and lakes would not fight to the death for the beautiful woman he once loved.

————————————————

The royal court of Yunzhou is famous for its abundant water and grass. In the steep and strange Miaojiang, this hundred-mile plain, which is deep in the belly of the mountain, is particularly special in terms of location and property. A hundred years ago, the ancestors of the Miao people would choose a site to build their capital, which is also a matter of course.

The towns of the Miao people have always been small and scattered. Even the famous royal court in the south only covers an area of four miles square, and there are all stilted buildings of different sizes as far as the eye can see, with low houses spacious and high houses with sharp tops, and the momentum is magnificent.

Among a large number of similar buildings, the Dengyun Tower, where the current Miao Dynasty Lou Duyun lives, is unique.

Dengyun Building is ten zhang high, divided into seven floors up and down, the bottom floor is still hollow in the stilts, but it is woven into a spike shape with gold thread, winding the Miao flower hub, filling the vacancy that should have raised livestock. The first to fourth floors are used for daily living, the fifth floor is for banquets, and the sixth floor is a viewing platform that tests the ability of craftsmen. To build such a towering building in the rugged Miaojiang, the ancestors of the previous generations of Lou can be regarded as painstaking.

The moonlight is like water, and the twilight clouds of the building stand on the fourth floor of the Dengyun Building.

Under the stars at night, the Miao people's proud Wangting Miao Village is like a square chessboard, which is extremely small under the quadrangle dome, and those scattered stilted buildings and water puddles are on this chessboard, and they are even more black and white.

Dailou Duyun couldn't help but sigh leisurely.

A wizened old man wrapped in a black robe appeared behind him, his voice as hoarse and gloomy as a broken leaf.

"On behalf of the king of Louwu, the night is getting deep, why haven't you slept?"

Dai Lou Duyun narrowed his eyes: "Uncle, I remember this hour, you shouldn't still be in the Cloud Tower." ”

The old man's expression did not change, but he bowed slightly: "I told Feng Shen a few words of heartfelt wishes, but I didn't realize that it was too late." King Dailou Wu is sleepless at this time, but he is worried about Sister Wang?"

Dai Lou Duyun's hand on the railing used some strength slightly, "The harrier I raised returned north yesterday. According to the news brought the day before, the batch of Dushan jade from the Hulai Chamber of Commerce should be at the Pingshan Inn tonight. ”

"The men and horses of the prince of Kuayuan have forced them to the end of the crossbow, and Wang Mei will definitely return with a full load. ”

Dai Lou Duyun suddenly laughed softly, and her smile was a little lonely.

"Uncle Uncle, you have stayed in Miaojiang for too long, and you have forgotten how those Central Plains people are treacherous. ”
