Chapter 12: Women
The capital is 200 miles away from Cangwu Mountain.
In the Xicheng District of the capital, there is a Baihou Mansion.
The night was deep, and the Baihou Mansion was like a mighty lion lying in the moonlight, and the lanterns were swaying under the painted eaves. Illuminate the Hou Mansion brightly.
Bai Hou is the emperor's own marquis, and he is also the only family in the rivers and lakes martial arts who has been rewarded by the emperor.
Bai Houye's martial arts, no one knows how high, it is said that he has never been defeated, even the Jinyi Guard commanded the Qinglong to defeat in his hands.
The reason why the emperor named him the marquis is that he is said to have made great contributions to the imperial court, but it is unknown what the credit is.
In the Baihou Mansion, the guards are strict, not only the guards of the Hou Mansion, but also the captain of the Jinyi Guard, a team of people, patrolling in this Baihou Mansion every once in a while.
A delicate black shadow crossed the high wall and appeared in the Hou Mansion.
With a petite figure and a graceful body, even if she is wearing a night dress, people can see at a glance that she is a woman.
Jumping off a high wall, getting down on one knee, and then doing a volley, she was already lurking under the hedge, dodging the torch-wielding guards, and she was sneaking again.
Through the corridors, she finally arrived at an elegant courtyard, Nanfei Courtyard.
The fire was still lit in the house, and there was a whisper from inside, which she couldn't hear clearly, but she could faintly hear it talking about the 'Dark River'.
She wanted to get closer and listen, when suddenly the room fell silent, and then a secret weapon shot through the window.
The woman's reaction was also extremely fast, and as soon as the long sword in her hand was put aside, she only heard a "ding" sound, and a Wuling dart was opened by her. But the power contained in that dart was also greatly beyond her expectations, and she only felt that her entire arm was shocked and numb, and the sword in her hand almost wanted to come out of her hand.
As soon as the dart passed, a shadow dressed in yellow had already broken through the window. The man's body was like a swimming dragon, and he reached out with his palm and slapped it directly in her direction.
The woman's face was pale, she never thought that the internal strength of the people in the house was so deep, it was at least dozens of meters away from the room they were in, and her light body kung fu was also extremely clever in the rivers and lakes, but even so, she only moved slightly, and was perceived by the people inside.
This palm is extremely powerful, enough to break the golden cracking stone, and the speed is also extremely fast, even if the woman has a sword in her hand, I am afraid that her sword will be sealed by this palm before she has time to make a move. The shocked woman also retreated violently at this time, and her delicate body was like a butterfly among flowers, quickly floating backwards, and at the same time as drifting away, she used a sword again. That sword, extremely exquisite, called the phoenix returning to the nest, has both offense and defense, and is an extremely clever trick in women's swordsmanship.
In the face of this exquisite move, the man did not avoid it at all, and after his body landed, he kicked again, and a fleshy palm was not afraid of the sharp blade at all, and folded towards the woman's long sword.
When the fleshy palm approached the sword in the woman's hand, the woman clearly felt that the sword in her hand trembled involuntarily as the fleshy palm got closer and closer, as if there was an invisible energy changing the direction of the sword.
"Internal force penetrates the body?" Thinking of this term, the woman's heart was shocked, and her momentum seemed to be depressed in an instant. The internal force penetrates the body, which is like a swordsman practicing his sword to the extreme and being able to force out the sword qi, which is already a legendary realm.
Under such a top master, the woman couldn't even resist his palm, and saw that this palm was about to slap heavily on her body, but the master did not hurt her, but used a trick to pick flowers and fold willows, snatched the long sword in the woman's hand, and then poked out a palm again, and removed the black cloth that the woman was covering.
The woman was just plain makeup, her bright eyes were as clear as water, and she looked a little innocent. The fair skin can be broken by blowing, and a ruddy little mouth exudes a lustrous luster.
"Who are you? dare to come to the Hou Mansion to assassinate?" Seeing that the person who came was a woman, the man in yellow did not do it again, but in his eyes, such a weak woman, to kill her, it was just a matter of raising his hands and feet, and he didn't need to put her in his eyes at all.
At this time, the woman also looked at the appearance of this person, Kong Wu's powerful figure, wearing round-necked armor, and his clothes were also covered with a lion and tiger pattern. With a rugged face, extremely resolute, deep eyes, and full of murderous aura, this is definitely a character who has fought countless times on the battlefield of life and death.
The woman snorted coldly, and was silent, she didn't dare to escape easily, she knew very well that the high-ranking official in front of her, with his amazing kung fu, could definitely take her own life easily, so under the cold gaze of this high-ranking official, she didn't dare to run away, she had to find an appropriate time.
"Since you don't say it, then it's no wonder that I'm not going to be able to tell you the truth. Although the man did not hurt the woman, he was not a person who would pity the beautiful woman when he saw it.
"Wait!"
A voice came out, and the voice seemed to be full of sharpness and power, as if it could pierce the night sky and pierce the sky.
The woman was slightly stunned, followed the voice and looked, only to see that the man had a pair of thick and dense sword eyebrows, bright eyes, white skin, handsome appearance, exuding a noble and heroic atmosphere from top to bottom, about forty years old, wearing a white brocade shirt, heroic and elegant. It is particularly worth mentioning that between her eyebrows, there is a small black mole, just like a woman's goose yellow.
"Master Hou, how should this female assassin be treated?" said the senior official of Jinyiwei, pointing at the woman with a cold face.
As soon as she heard the high-ranking official in brocade call this person the white marquis, the woman's bright eyes also showed a trace of ripples, but she quickly calmed down again, and just looked at the marquis in front of her carefully.
When Bai Hou Ye saw the woman, his face showed a trace of surprise, his lips moved, as if he wanted to ask something, but he glanced at the senior official of Jinyi Wei next to him, but he didn't say it, just waved his hand, and said lightly to the woman: "You go!"
Hearing this, the woman was also slightly stunned, and the senior official of the Jinyi Wei was also a little puzzled, and said, "Master Hou, why are you ......?"
"Qinglong, I owe you a favor, let her go!" Bai Hou Ye stopped the words of the senior official of Jinyi Wei and waved his hand at the woman again.
"Qinglong!" When the woman heard this name, she was also slightly surprised, she didn't expect that this master in front of her would be the commander of Jinyiwei, no wonder there would be such a powerful martial arts.
"Master Hou knows her?" Qinglong asked again.
"She's a lot like an old friend of mine. Bai Hou said with some displeasure, obviously he didn't like Qinglong's roots, but after all, he still told him.
"Girl, aren't you leaving, don't come back in the future!" said Bai Houye.
The corners of Qinglong's eyes twitched, and the two gazes were like sharp knives, constantly scanning the woman's body, as if he wanted to see through her identity. However, Bai Hou Ye had already spoken, and he didn't dare to leave this woman.
The woman glanced at Bai Houye, there was doubt in her eyes, but she didn't stop too long, she jumped up, went to the roof, and disappeared into the vast night sky.
Looking at the figure of the woman disappearing in the night sky, Bai Houye's face was a little strange, like guilt, like melancholy, and as if there was a trace of loneliness.
Qinglong's face was gloomy, looking at the woman's distant figure, and then at Bai Hou Ye, but he didn't ask anything more, because he knew that even if he asked, the Bai Hou Ye in front of him would not say.
Bai Hou Ye didn't speak, but walked slowly to the room, his figure looking a little lonely. I heard him muttering alone, "Why is this woman so much like her?"
Qinglong's brows twitched twice, he didn't know who the "she" that Bai Hou Ye said would be? But if he wanted the news that Qing Long wanted to get, he would definitely be able to get it, since he couldn't ask from Bai Hou Ye's mouth, then he could only look for this woman. Immediately, he said loudly: "Master Bai, it's late at night, I'll go back first." ”
Bai Hou Ye waved his hand and said, "Qinglong, I hope you don't embarrass this woman!"
Bai Hou's words were both like a plea and a warning, Qinglong's brows frowned, his face became a little cloudy, and then he strode out of Bai Hou's mansion.
