Chapter 25 The brook runs through the valley

After lunch, continue on your way. The scenery along the way is as the restaurant said, a peak, forest and canyon.

About an hour later, I heard Guan Xingyi say to Yun Qinglin next to the carriage, "Eldest Prince, You Xigu has arrived." ”

I looked out the window, and sure enough, there was a deep forest in front of me, and a path the width of a carriage was clustered in the forest. There is a stone monument standing at the intersection, on which are engraved with three large characters "You Xigu" and four small characters "Do not enter" in red letters.

I read it in my heart. From a distance, the scenery on the outskirts of the valley is nothing special compared to the surroundings.

The official road is not far from the valley, and a stream that moves with the mountain and runs through the valley passes by the official road at the bend.

"Stop!" Pan Yuchen shouted.

Just what I want, I think everyone is curious about this You Xi Valley.

"It's a bit hot, I'm going to go to the stream to drink some water and cool my hands. After Pan Yuchen finished explaining, he got up directly, walked past me, and lifted the curtain.

The carriage came to a stop on the side of the road.

The section of the stream ten paces away was still some distance from the entrance to the valley, and it stands to reason that we did not enter the valley.

The water is clear, the water is rippling, the fish are visible, and there are even a few peaches that have been gnawed by animals. In the distance, a strange peak rises, clouds and mist, birds and beasts can be heard, it seems that this stream is very long, and the water is living water flowing from the mountains.

Pan Yuchen was squatting by the stream to wash his handkerchief.

I stepped on a rock, squatted, put my hand in the water, and felt cool. Hold the water in your hand and take a few sips, then untie the water bag that has been hanging from your waist and fill it up.

Guan Xingyi and two entourages also came to the stream and filled the convoy's water bags.

Yun Qinglin stood under the tree on the side, looking at the valley from afar.

Suddenly, the leading horses of the grazing group raised their heads and looked warily at the valley, and the other horses stopped playing and looked deeper into the upper reaches of the stream.

Guan Xingyi gestured, including him and one of Yun Qinglin's attendants in the carriage, and the eight of them were divided into two teams: three to protect the supplies, and five to enclose Yun Qinglin, Pan Yuchen, and me.

The three family members brought by Pan Yuchen also rushed to her side and looked around vigilantly.

Yun Qinglin's gaze became cold, and he lowered his head to arrange his sleeves.

I fastened the hydration bladder. As soon as his hands were in the air, three figures rushed out of the woods behind the stone monument.

The three of them quickly came to us, but they did not stop, ignored us, and continued to fly forward.

I didn't stare at them, but I noticed it. Just as he was wondering, three more figures rushed out of the woods.

But this time, three figures stopped steadily in front of us, facing us across the stream. All three of them were dressed in dark green costumes and swords.

Yun Qinglin stopped the finishing in his hand and raised his head, his face as cold as frost.

"Down there is Huang Lang, the guard of Youxi Valley, dare to ask what you call it, why did you appear at the mouth of the valley at this time?" Standing in the middle of the three of them, a young man with sword eyebrows stepped forward and asked with a fist in a salute.

I tilted my head and looked at them quietly.

Yun Qinglin looked ahead and did not answer.

Huang Lang waited for a while, and when he saw that no one had the intention of speaking, he said: "Someone broke into the valley, we chased all the way, and we happened to meet you, so please forgive me if I asked." ”

Yun Qinglin looked at him and replied lightly: "This is the official road, passing by." ”

A light breeze blew behind me, and I knew that the three people who had just passed had turned back.

Huang Lang made eye contact with the three people who went and returned, his face gradually became solemn, and he said to us: "I'm really sorry, because the incident happened suddenly, and I only met you here and now, so I want you to come with me into the valley." ”

I rubbed my temples and turned to walk towards Yun Qinglin's carriage.

Seeing the situation, Huang Lang raised his sword in his hand and said, "Offended." ”

The other five people in You Xigu drew their swords at the same time, and put two small glaive formations in front of and behind us, ready to attack.

Yun Qinglin was calm, his right hand twitched and waved, and a long sword appeared in his hand, and the sword body was glowing with cold light.

The corner of my mouth hooked: Ling Fengjian, it turns out that you look like this.

Huang Lang made a gesture, and the six of them went up together.

A sword roared and resounded in all directions. Yun Qinglin's arrows were like flying, and the sword moved at will, revealing its edge, pointing directly at Huang Lang.

The three people behind me quickly approached, and I was the closest to them at this time.

I moved and shifted, my body flying quickly, like a god. turned around and pulled Pan Yuchen up, bypassed the three of them, and entered Yun Qinglin's carriage with her, looking at the three people across the curtains.

The three of them were shocked, and saw that there were three retinues guarding the carriage, and if they continued to target me and Pan Yuchen, their opponents would increase by three people, so they chose to attack Guan Xingyi first.

"You're in a good position. Pan Yuchen said to me.

I smiled and replied to her, "It's okay, it's okay." ”

Yun Qinglin's sword flower swayed beautifully, he was one against three, the sword was sharp, erratic, like thunder, like a meteor. Yunfu is good at finding and forging excellent long swords, and the Ling Feng Sword is one of them, it is extremely sharp and the sword body is smooth.

I took the small folding fan out of my sleeve and shook it gently at the wrist as I watched.

Suddenly, a sword aura appeared in the air, and the momentum was extraordinary, pointing directly at the carriage.

If I don't care, I'm afraid this comfortable carriage won't be safe.

In an instant decision, I rushed out of the window and flicked the tip of the sword in front of me with a folding fan. The sword that had been ricocheted off instantly came back to me and continued to attack. The sword style is complex and rigorous, unpredictable, deadly, and unusually ruthless.

I used a folding fan as a short sword, only defended and did not attack, and dealt with it calmly. The moves are rigid and soft, soft and rigid, and the body shape is like returning it, suppressing the attack of the comer.

"Hahaha-"

The visitor let out a long laugh and stepped aside.

I looked at her: it was a bright and beautiful face, tall and tall, with a long gown over it, and her dress was the same color as the yellow lang, dark green, and the nails of her sword were painted in a bright red that contrasted with the color of her clothes.

"The little boy is good-looking, and his skills are also good, I don't know what sect he comes from?" her tone was not good, her eyes were fierce, but she asked with a smile.

I smiled and replied, "I've seen a woman who's a little shorter and thinner than you." She's good at using a long whip and looks a lot like you. ”

"I suddenly remembered that there was a pair of twin sisters in Snake Mountain in Tancheng, Zizhou, and I heard that both of them were stunning beauties. With such a clever use of the sword, let me think, who is it?" I made a pensive expression.

Actually, I already know her name. The twin sisters, surnamed Bai, had no father or mother, but they had someone to take care of their daily lives and teach them martial arts since childhood. The elder sister's name is Bai Shui, who is proficient in swordsmanship, and the younger sister's name is Bai Yun, who is good at using long whips. So the one in front of me is the older of the twin sisters, Bai Shui.

It's just why did she appear in Youxi Valley? Could it be that the person behind these twin sisters is in Youxi Valley?

It's really a coincidence, I didn't have a clue about the identity of the assassin last night, but today I recognized Bai Shui, and then deduced that the woman posing as "Yan'er" was Bai Yun. It seems that Bai Shui didn't know that Bai Yun had revealed her appearance to me, and if she knew in advance, she would probably hide her true appearance.

After Bai Shui listened to what I said, his complexion changed suddenly, and he aimed his sword at me, and the killing intent in the sword qi was stronger than before.

With a smile in my eyes, I moved impermanently, and avoided the attack of Baishui all the way.

A cold light rose in his field of vision, and Yun Qinglin's moves were sharp, breaking Huang Lang's glaive array. Four of them were hit by the sword qi and fell to the ground, while Huang Lang and one of the guards were still struggling to resist, but they were defeated one after another.

Bai Shui put away his sword, put his right hand into his sleeve, took out a row of silver needles, and sent it out like a wind.

Why are there silver needles everywhere? Could it be that silver needles have become as common as the Seven Star Darts?

Before I had time to think about it, my toes tapped to the ground, my body spun in the air, and I avoided a few silver needles.

Two of Guan Xingyi's entourage were shot by silver needles, but fortunately, they were not hit to the vital point.

Bai Shui saw that he missed the blow, put his hands into his sleeves, and took out many silver needles. The silver needles were divided into several batches and shot out quickly, and they flew in the air, like a swift poisonous snake pounced on me and Guan Xingyi.

That's how the silver needle was used?

I frowned, and my body suddenly became a little strange: I walked in a strange direction, as if according to some kind of formation, my body changed so quickly that one person seemed to become two or three people, and my body flew all over the air, and my figure was strange.

Bai Shui's second attack still missed, and she began to get restless, and picked up her saber again, her wrist bent and turned, not knowing what tricks she was going to play.

Suddenly, she rolled her eyes, shook her body, and fell to the ground.

Yun Qinglin stood behind her, put away the Ling Feng sword, and hid the sword in the robe.

If I were a house cat, I would definitely swallow my saliva or lick my nose with my tongue to show my shock, amazement, and a little fear.

You Xingu's guards had already fallen to the ground, and Huang Lang, who was the leader, was also half-squatting, as if he had suffered serious internal injuries.

I glanced at Bai Shui again, shook my head and said, "Yun Qinglin, you really don't pity the fragrance and cherish the jade, for such a beautiful girl, you can subdue it with one move, it's really admirable!"

Yun Qinglin replied: "Although I also want to continue to appreciate your amazing light skills and folding fan swordsmanship, it's a pity that we still have to hurry, so we can only have a chance to watch it next time." ”

"That's right, let's go. I put away the little folding fan and thought back to the adjectives used in his words, which I thought were very apt.

Guan Xingyi sorted out the luggage in another carriage in Yunfu, took out some of it and put it on the horses of the two injured entourage. The wounds of the two attendants were treated and bandaged, and they lay down in the carriage to rest.

When the carriage departed again, through the curtains, I seemed to see a tall, thin, straight man standing next to Huang Lang. When I came to the window and lifted the curtain, the road turned, and the dense vegetation obscured my vision.

"What's wrong?" Yun Qinglin asked.

"I don't know, it's blocked by trees, I can't see anything. I replied.

"Then keep going. He said.

The speed of Yun Qinglin's carriage is really fast, so the question is, can the carriage with luggage brought by Pan Yuchen keep up with the speed of the convoy? Is it that the horseman has to desperately urge and urge the horses to catch up?

I lay on the horizontal chair, pillowed my hands, looked at the roof of the carriage, wrote in my mind "Twin Sisters surnamed Bai" and "You Xigu", connected a line between them, and wrote "Variety Scholars, Black Masks" next to it, the connection between Baiyun Baishui Sisters and You Xigu and Variety Scholars and Black Masks is not clear for the time being.

An oily paper bag appeared in front of him, as well as Yun Qinglin's slender hand.

It was Magu who made me a snack. I opened it and saw that there were only four pieces left inside. Yun Qinglin is really not polite to me, but it is understandable that the dim sum made by Magu is delicious, and after eating a piece, I want to continue eating.

Another hand appeared, as thin as a green onion, it was Pan Yuchen's hand, and she quickly took a piece. Soon, she reached for another piece of her hand and took another piece.

I quickly ate a piece too, in case I didn't eat the last piece of dim sum, Magu would be sad if she knew.

There was still a piece of dim sum left in the oiled paper, and after waiting for a while, I didn't see Pan Yuchen come to eat the third piece, so I had to be polite anymore, pinch the last piece of dim sum and eat it.

"The people of Youxi Valley are so unhospitable, they will fight when they say they will fight, and they want to arrest us into the valley. Why is their logic so strange, they feel suspicious when they see someone appearing at the gate of the valley. The floodgates on Pan Yuchen's mouth opened again.

"If we weren't in a hurry, I would really like to go in and see what Youxi Valley looks like and what kind of people are in the valley. ”

"But they hurt the two of us, it's too infuriating, Qinglin, your men have mercy and let them go. If you want me to say, you should hang them all from a tree and let them reflect on it. ”

"Your handkerchief is cleaned, why don't you take it out to dry?" Yun Qinglin said to her.

I almost laughed, Yun Qinglin was very funny, he was turning the corner and reminded Pan Yuchen: When we met the guards of You Xigu, it was not because she deliberately called for the parking team that everyone stopped at the mouth of the valley.

"Yes, where's my handkerchief?" Pan Yuchen really only focused on You Xigu and forgot about her handkerchief.

After Pan Yuchen looked for a while, he sighed in disappointment and said, "If I come to You Xigu next time, I will definitely ask them to pay me a new handkerchief." ”
