Chapter 40 (17)
When Nangong Xue heard this, she was stunned for a moment, and suddenly shouted, "No...... No, I don't believe he would treat me like this!" Passing the guards, he rushed forward and knocked on the closed door of the mansion fiercely, shouting: "Yaohua, Yaohua, you come out, I know this must be a misunderstanding! Human life is at stake! You have always cared about me and taken care of me, we have always been friends......"
The guards on the side hurriedly stepped forward to pull her and persuaded: "Nangong girl, you just believe what the servants say......! He really doesn't want to see you...... Ouch, don't knock on the door again!"
Nangong Xue ignored everything, slammed her fists on the door in vain, and shouted hoarsely: "Shangguan Yaohua, I know you are inside! If you dislike me as a burden, it's a big deal that you helped me this time, let's clear up from now on, and I won't trouble you again! I don't believe that you are so ruthless, and you can really erase the past friendship......
The other side of the gate was still deserted, and there was no reaction, as if this door separated two worlds. Xuan Shuang raised his legs, turned over and dismounted, and said coldly: "Go and tell your master, I am Ling Shuang Ash, why, even I can't see me?" Although the guard was frightened, he still had the courage to say: "Yes...... The prince has instructed that he will not see Miss Nangong, and his friends are not welcome to be lobbyists......"
Xuan Shuang said angrily: "The lobbyist who saw the ghost!" wrenched the bones and joints with both hands, and said: "I see that you are following that brazen master, and you have learned all of them to itch, right? Don't give way, be careful that the master beats you flat!"
Nangong Xue suddenly grabbed his sleeve, shook his head, and said, "Forget it, they are also under orders, don't be embarrassed for them." Since Prince Cheng wants to be alone and refuses to help, we can't force him. Silently got on the horse, shouted: "Drive!" and galloped away.
Nangong Xue pretended to be strong at first, but when she thought of Shangguan Yaohua's ruthless words, tears couldn't stop rolling down, and her thin back couldn't help twitching. Xuan Shuang finally caught up after a long time and said, "Are you okay?"
Nangong Xue shook her head and said, "It is said that men will become bad when they have money, and it seems that it is closely related to 'power and power'." People change, but I really didn't expect that he would finally become a big official, and he would become so strange that I didn't know him at all. ”
Xuan Shuang was even more angry than Nangong Xue, and said: "He has not changed, but his nature is like this, you didn't know him well before! This crooked wall grass, even if he hit the shit luck! What is the great thing about a little prince, I ...... I'm still the crown prince, and I'll be the future emperor! Who do I think is more ruthless than whom?"
Nangong Xue sighed: "You said that he was disloyal and unrighteous because you switched sides at the last moment for him, but I think ...... He did nothing wrong. As a courtier, he should be loyal to his duties, how can he follow the chaotic party and act indiscriminately?" Xuan Shuang said: "Where is he loyal to his duties? It's just that when he saw that the situation suddenly turned to the emperor's side, he bet all his bets on this treasure. As a result, this kid was frustrated in love, and the casino was proud, and in the end he won the bet. ”
Nangong Xue was irritable in her heart and said, "Forget it, don't say it again." Let's save our brother ourselves...... Ride!" Without waiting for Xuanshuang to react, the mount under him had already rushed to the front again.

Li Yijie stood on a protruding platform and watched the flame pool in front of him from a distance. As the name suggests, the surface of the pond is a cluster of burning flames, with stone slabs floating on the upper end, drifting on all sides. Sometimes they gather, sometimes they spread out, and there is no pattern to follow. However, a few pieces had gathered many times, and when the stone slabs on the other side approached once, they scattered separately and did not repeat themselves.
During the process of moving, several flames rose to the sky in the gap between the pool surfaces, and Li Yijie stood aside, and he could also feel a compelling heat wave coming to his face. Thanks to his skills, he is not weak, and he can still withstand such high temperatures. In the distance, another platform could be seen in the distance, and a path turned into a hidden place.
Thinking about this pass, people are drifting through the stone slabs to connect the two roads. Seeing the opportunity, he jumped up, and had already chosen a place to stay, but suddenly a burst of flames rushed in front of him. Li Yijie was taken aback, he turned the direction in mid-air, and finally passed by, his clothes were smoked out of a few pieces of blackened, and there was nothing else. Only the edge of the stone slab was touched on the tip of the floor, and it took a lot of effort to barely stand firm.
Looking at the stone slabs around him, listening to the flames popping in his ears, the heat wave smoked his whole body almost floated, and his mind was full of buzzing sounds. He has always acted in a proper manner, and even in this random gamble, he also wants to find a clue. When you see a stone slab floating in front of you, there is always a distance half a human width in it. Fang wanted to move, thinking that the flames would be ignited at some point, not because of fear, but more out of caution.
However, after the slate drifted away, he joined the rest of the slabs, ignoring his lonely place. I am afraid that there are a few stone slabs like this, and once you miss the first opportunity, you can only be abandoned in the middle of this pool, and ask for more blessings.
There happened to be another stone slab floating next to it, and a white skeleton lay on the top. Li Yijie was startled, and thought deeply, it is very likely that the person was unable to get out of the pool because the stone slab was approaching, so he fell into the pool for a long time, and could only wait for death.
After settling down, the biggest hidden danger is the flames that burst up from time to time. With a wave of his hand, he threw two hidden weapons and swept through the gaps in the stone slabs, but there was no flame in the slightest. Immediately jumped up, and before he could cross the thunder pool, a fiery red flame rushed to his eyes. Finally, Li Yijie was prepared and turned over and jumped in time to avoid the disaster of flames.
However, where the explosions are made one after another, it is not based on the proximity of the slates. After pondering for a moment, I suddenly realized something. Draw the long sword, lay the blade horizontally above the flames, roast the blade of the sword until it is hot, and then stretch out the tentative. Sure enough, it caused the flames to jump high, and it was tried and tested.
It seems that the eruption of flames is irregular, and only when it senses the temperature above will it jump up and hurt people. The human body is not a dead body, it is naturally unavoidable. Secretly sighing that the design of this mechanism is also ingenious, I pondered for a long time, and then when I came back to my senses, I saw that the surrounding area suddenly turned empty, and the stone slab had unconsciously drifted away to the empty place.
Li Yijie's heart tightened, he looked at the relative distance of several stone slabs, and secretly chose a place, for him, this was tantamount to the last chance. He swung his sword to draw flames, then leaped out in parallel, ripped off his belt, and flung forward. The belt was not touched by body temperature, and it swept flat across the surface of the pool, holding it directly facing the stone slab. Li Yijie took advantage of the power of the flames, his toes fell in the middle of the belt, his body jumped up, and flew over like a bird, and his feet fell steadily in the middle of the stone slab. Retracted the long sword, leaned on the edge of the plate, took a breath, and looked at the next foothold, still concocting the same method.

The two fast horses galloped out of the official road and ran towards the mountains and forests. Xuanshuang rode his horse to catch up with Nangong Xue, and pretended to be careless and said: "You should always know by now, whether it is the underworld or the white way, there are always some wolf-hearted beasts, right? ”
Nangong Xue didn't look back, and said softly: "I don't blame him. He also has his own difficulties, now that he has been officially crowned a prince, how many pairs of eyes are staring at his every move. Naturally, I don't want to have anything to do with a woman like me. ”
Xuan Shuang snorted coldly and said, "It's just a little prince, and I still climbed it up by touching my relatives, what's so proud? If I hadn't stumbled and was in the palace, I would have been the future prince!" Nangong Xue said lightly: "So what, it's just a hypothesis after all." I don't want to mention anything now, just that I never knew him. The only thing that reassures me is my brother's condition. ”
Xuanshuang was disdainful and pursed her lips. The sound of horses' hooves was not far away, and suddenly a whistle was heard in the forest, and a group of bandits wearing tiger robes and headbands on their heads rushed up and surrounded the two in the middle. The leader cocked his thumb and shouted, "Stop! I opened this road, I planted this tree......
Xuanshuang exhaled, raised her eyebrows coldly, and said, "Oh, it's still an old trick?" The leader crossed his hands and stepped forward, looking him up and down. Suddenly, he grabbed the reins and said, "Look at your little brother's clear eyebrows and bright clothes, there will be no shortage of this fraction." How, borrow a few dollars to spend?"
Xuan Shuang condescended, glanced at him with a slanted gaze, and shouted: "A group of things with no long eyes! If you don't want to die, get out of the way!" Raising the horsewhip, with a "snap", he whipped the leader on the forehead with his hand, and the knot was strong, and the blood immediately gushed out. The leader was furious, and shouted, "This kid is looking for death! Brothers, teach him a lesson!"
Xuan Shuang didn't say a word, pulled out a few whips in the air, danced all kinds of tricks, and then brought up a powerful air current, throwing out the bandits gathered around him, and each of them cried on the ground and called their mothers. This trick can be described as the pinnacle of brilliance, and the victory is clean and neat, without dragging mud and water.
Not only did everyone have no power to dodge back, but even when they were conscious, they were only after they fell to the ground*. After a long time, the leader covered his chest, stood up with difficulty, and said, "Thank you Shaoxia's men for their mercy." Please also tell me the name, so that I know who is the loser. ”
Xuan Shuang said: "What, you want to wait for revenge in the future? Do you think you still have a chance to leave alive?"
The leader's face stiffened, and he said, "If you want to kill us, everyone will fight to the death, but it's not that easy!" Xuan Shuang shouted: "Look for death! You don't believe it, do you? Do you want to give it a try?" Although Nangong Xue was full of reluctance to cause trouble, she couldn't bear it at this time, and shouted: "Let him go! They are not yet considered to be a great traitor, and they are still forgivable." Xuan Shuang sneered: "Okay, if you love to be a good person, I will fulfill your worthless kindness." Hey, I'll tell you, my name is Ling Frost Ash, although I remember it. ”
The leader was slightly stunned, and muttered, "Ling Shuang Ash, Demon Sect Deputy Sect Leader Ling Shuang Ash?" Without waiting for Xuan Shuang's impatient urging, he arched his hand first, and said, "It turned out to be planted under Your Excellency's hands, and with my cultivation today, it is finally in vain." The gentleman will take revenge, it is not too late for ten years, and then he will come back to recover this account!" He made a gesture and shouted: "Everyone withdraw!" All the thieves knew that they were invincible, and without much objection, they hurriedly packed up their weapons, followed the man, and soon fled without a trace.
Xuan Shuang's fingers tightened the horsewhip, flicked it fiercely, and said angrily: "This gang of dog thieves who don't know life and death, and dare to call themselves gentlemen, it is really shameless! Knowing that I am in a bad mood today, I still dare to break ground on Tai Sui's head! I should have slaughtered them all with a knife!" The two galloped out of the way, and Nangong Xue said as if intentionally and unintentionally: "If you meet someone on the road in the future, no matter which side it is, you don't want to use the name Ling Shuang Ember anymore." ”
