A simple two-wheeled carriage slowly stopped in front of a three-way intersection on the northwest border of Yuguo, and a woman in the car lifted the light blue crepe on the side window and quietly looked at the tall back of the horse not far away. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

It was past noon, and the warm autumn sun shone mottled through the branches and leaves of the forest, and shone his white shirt a little dazzlingly, so that her eyes were stinging, and she couldn't help but burst into tears.

The white knight sat on his horse, silently looking at the two roads leading in different directions, and suddenly turned around, smiled brightly at the woman who was staring at him, and then turned back, flicked the reins, and galloped away north.

The woman looked at the dashing figure in the distance with a little amazement, and slowly lowered the curtain. The carriage went on, but in the opposite direction to the south, from the knight who had just arrived.

"Miss, isn't Childe with us?" asked a little girl who looked like a maid in the car.

"Of course, but he has to do one thing first, and then he will follow. The young lady replied lightly.

The lord has already explained in the letter that he should always be by the side of the young lady and not allow the slightest mistake. But as soon as he entered the border of Dayu, he ran away first, leaving the young lady to hurry alone in this remote place. If there really is a mistake, see how he will explain to the master when the time comes!" the little girl snorted angrily.

The young lady glanced at the mouthy little girl and said with a smile: "What will be wrong? Even if I can't believe in your kung fu, can't I still believe in Uncle Qing's kung fu? I'm afraid that you yourself are reluctant to let your son go, so you use this lot of words to arrange him." I'm right, you little girl!"

The little girl's delicate little face suddenly flew up a red glow, and she raised her little fist angrily, making a gesture to teach her a lesson about this bad lady who has no virtue in her mouth. But when she saw the slightly reddened eyes of the young lady and the forced happy look on her face, she immediately felt distressed again, and couldn't help sighing lightly: "I also said that people are reluctant, but in fact, the person who is really reluctant to let the son go is afraid that Miss yourself." The eyes are red, but you can't fool anyone!"

The young lady was stunned, lowered her eyes, and stopped talking.

The little girl was even more distressed when she saw it, patted her hand, and comforted her softly: "Miss, don't be sad, it's not that the son won't come back." When you get to Jingyang, I will definitely try my best to get him to accompany you every day. If he dares to run away alone, I will go and complain to the master about him, and I will have to give him a beating!"

Hearing such unreasonable words of comfort, the young lady couldn't help but laugh. But when she thought about it, at this moment, the person was running to the other woman's side, and her eyebrows couldn't help frowning quietly.

Dayu Guojin Gate, the Northern Military Marshal's Mansion.

In a remote courtyard in the back house, Shui Lingluo quickly caught up with Shui Xinying, who was walking outside the courtyard gate, and said hurriedly: "Master, go back and rest, I'll keep vigil." ”。

Looking at the apprentice with a tired face, Shui Xinying shook his head and said, "You must be very tired when you go outside the city to investigate the enemy's situation before you come back." I will keep watch for the first half of the night today, so go and sleep for a few hours. ”

"But Master, you are responsible for Song Shuai's guard, and you have to guard him every day, and after these ten days, you are also extremely tired, how can you keep vigil for me again?"

"I can still hold up for the division, but it's just that you are either helping to patrol the city these days, or going out to investigate the military situation, and you have to keep vigil at night, which is really too hard. Look at yourself, you are so thin that there is only a handful of bones left!

Shui Lingluo smiled a little bitterly, "Now I lie down, I can't sleep, why bother to let Master you suffer for me?"

Shui Xinying sighed and hugged her into her arms, and said softly: "I remember that when the teacher first saw you, you had been guarding by the corpses of your parents for three days and three nights. You were a child under six years old, and you said to me with big red eyes, 'Daddy and Mom are asleep, but I can't sleep.'" ”

Shui Ling Luoyi was in the warm arms of the Master, closed her eyes and murmured, "At that time, Master, you were like this, holding me in your arms and saying to me, 'You can fall asleep if you stay in the arms of the Master.'" Two lines of tears slipped down her cheeks.

"But now Master is no longer the one who can make you fall asleep!" Shui Xinying sighed lightly, "The person in your heart, but Xiao Yu?"

Shui Lingluo's delicate body trembled slightly, "Master--, how do you know?"

"I raised you since I was a child, how can I not see the change in you? Shui Xinying sighed again, "It's just Xiao Yu, I'm afraid he won't come back!"

Shui Lingluo couldn't help but sobbed softly, "He won't die!" Xiaofeng told me when he took him away, saying that he won't die!"

Shui Xinying stroked the apprentice's hair and shook her head gloomily.

After the war started in the north, Xue Youyou personally led the Xiuyun Sword to send disciples to Jinmen Pass. It wasn't until a month ago that Shui Xinying led a death squad composed of dozens of Xiuyun sect disciples and subordinates of the Zhongyi League, together with thousands of cavalry under Song Xingye, to sneak out of Jinmen Pass in the middle of the night, raid the Rong army camp, and achieve a great victory at Jinmen Pass, which finally completely reversed the situation of this war.

A few days ago, Haoxing Mingrui sent people to secretly convey two pieces of news to Shui Xinying: First, the Rong army has a shortage of food and low morale, and it has already withdrawn from the army, but the more it comes to this time, the more we must beware of its dogs jumping over the wall in a hurry and sending dead soldiers to assassinate the commander of our army or important generals. The second is that Xiao Yu has never woken up.

Shui Lingluo suddenly stopped crying, raised his head from the master's arms, and said in a low but firm tone: "Xiao Yu will definitely not die, I will wait for him to come back!"

Shui Xinying slowly let go of Shui Lingluo and wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes with pity, "Waiting is not an easy task, and it often does not lead to results." But if you think it's worth it, just wait. ”

Shui Lingluo nodded slightly.

"It's been almost a month since the ancestor returned to Jingyang, why hasn't he come back?"

"I heard that the rudder of the southern part of the Loyal and Righteous League has had another accident recently, and two rudder masters have been killed one after another, and the sect master has rushed to deal with it, and it is estimated that it will take another half a month to come back. ”

"Is there such a thing! Could it be that the northerners did it?"

"This time it shouldn't have anything to do with the northerners. According to the descriptions of those who saw the bodies of the two slain rudders, there was only one fatal wound on the deceased's body, which looked like an arrow wound, and people nearby heard the sound of arrows at the time of the incident. Strangely, no arrows were left at the scene. The sect master suspected that they had all died from a unique martial art of the hermitages, the parting arrow, so he hurried over to find out. ”

"Parting arrow?" Shui Lingluo blinked his eyes wide, and suddenly begged Shui Xinying, "Master, when the war here is over, I want to go to the south." ”

Shui Xinying immediately guessed that Shui Lingluo might mistakenly think that the person who would make the parting arrow had something to do with Xiao Yu, because he had told her the secret of the Hidden Stream Valley before. But Shui Xinying didn't want to correct her apprentice, since she had made up her mind to wait, it was better to leave a glimmer of hope than to despair completely.

"Go if you want, you're seventeen years old, and it's time for you to go out on your own. ”

A flash of joy flashed in Shui Lingluo's eyes, "Then my experience will start tonight." ”

After saying that, she quickly ran out of the courtyard gate, without leaving Shui Xinying the slightest chance to stop her.

................................................................................................................................................

Sitting alone on the high roof of the Shuai Mansion, Shui Lingluo looked up at the bright moon in the sky, and couldn't help but think of Xiao Yu's bright smile. The gentle night breeze was blowing, like his hand, caressing his hair......

Suddenly, a slight sound of breaking wind came from not far away, and Shui Ling Luo Fang was about to get up to check, but out of the corner of his eye, he suddenly saw a black figure standing very close to him. Before she could see the other party's face clearly, she was tapped with an acupoint, and then her body was crooked and fell to the side.

The black figure had quickly moved to her side, reaching out with both hands to gently catch her upside-down body, and taking her into his arms.

Fang Cai had been quietly staring at her slightly thin figure behind him, and he didn't dare to get too close for fear of being discovered by her, but he didn't expect to be accidentally seen by her, so he had no choice but to shoot and light her sleeping hole. At this moment, I was finally able to hold her in my arms again as I wished, smelling the familiar fragrance, but it was time to leave.

Looking down at the delicate face in his arms that was slightly sad and tired, his eyes were full of pity and reluctance, and he jumped lightly and carried her down the roof.

Carefully placing her under a sheltered roof, he untied the black coat and gently covered hers.

Then, he turned and flew in the direction from which the sound of breaking wind had just come.
