He was tall and majestic in a navy blue robe, and the rain poured down the edge of the cuff into the long, sharp sword, and down the tip of the sword.

Looking at this figure, the woman suddenly felt a sense of distraction, feeling that the person in front of her was a god sent by God to rescue her.

A sword light flashed, and only three crisp sounds of "ding ding ding" were heard. The man's sword was so fast that it was so easy that it could disintegrate the swords of the three strong men.

The three men in black stared at the young man in front of them with sparkling eyes, and their brows furrowed. For this mysterious man who seemed to have been born out of thin air, and easily blocked the joint blow of the three of them in an instant, their hearts swelled with a monstrous giant Lang, feeling that this person was not something they could deal with at all, so after the three of them looked at each other, they actually retreated at the same time, and after a while, they disappeared into the rain curtain.

"Count you as acquaintances!" Looking at the three black-clothed men who were flying away, the young man also put away his sword and said.

Looking at the three masked men who suddenly retreated, the woman was also dumbfounded, how strong the means of these three people were, she had already learned that some of the pretentious masters in the rivers and lakes, under their hands, would definitely not be able to take a few moves.

But these three people, in the blink of an eye, were startled back by the sword of the person in front of her, and she didn't even understand how this person came out with the sword.

"What a fast sword!" the woman murmured softly, somewhat distractedly.

She looked at the man holding the sword with his back to her in disbelief, looking at the tall and majestic back with some messy hair, and she felt an indescribable feeling in her heart.

Turning his head slowly, a shallow smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. His smile is charming, and the corners of his mouth are curled in a small way, and he does not show teeth. His eyes were also charming, dark and bright, and he had a slightly dark, handsome but resolute face. The movement of his sword is elegant, and more importantly, it is obviously a long sword, but it has no sheath.

At this moment, the man's figure had been imprinted in her mind.

"Girl, are you okay?" Xiong Qiang looked at the somewhat surprised woman and asked lightly.

The woman smiled a little shyly, then lowered her head, brushed the hair on her forehead that was washed by the rain on her cheeks, and said, "I'm fine, thank you Shaoxia for helping!"

"It's just a gesture!" "Faced with this beautiful face, Xiong Qiang was also a little shocked in his heart, the woman in front of him, although she looked a little embarrassed, but she was wearing a very thin dress, under the lining of the rain, but her exquisite curves were completely outlined, a delicate melon seed face, a pair of clear big eyes, plus at this time she still had a look of coquettishness and hatred, Xiong Qiang looked a little stupid.

was stared at by Xiong Qiang with some hot eyes, and this beautiful woman also had some inexplicable palpitations, looking a little nervous and cramped. Suddenly, the woman coughed, and she didn't know whether she was hiding her embarrassment, or reminding Xiong Qiang to stop staring at herself with such fiery eyes.

Xiong Qiang also came back to his senses from that idiot, felt that he was a little out of shape, and said, "My name is Xiong Qiang, why did those Jinyi guards kill you?"

When she heard that it was Jinyiwei, her pretty face was obviously stunned, she had fought with these black-clothed people for so many rounds, but she didn't see the identity of the other party, and the man in front of her actually saw through the identity of the other party at a glance, which made her have a little more admiration for Xiong Qiang. Hearing Xiong Qiang say that it was Jinyiwei, the woman also seemed to be in thought.

For a long time, except for a high-ranking official of the Jinyi Guard in the Baihou Mansion, she had never intersected with the Jinyi Guard again, and these people must be the subordinates of the Jinyi Guard in the Baihou Mansion!

However, the woman did not tell Xiong Qiang that her assassination of Bai Hou Ye was a task left to her by her mother, and she was unwilling to mention this matter easily in front of outsiders.

At this time, Xiaoyaozi also walked over, and when he saw the woman's face clearly, there was a deep surprise on his face, and he asked in a somewhat distorted manner: "Girl, what is your name?"

Xiong Qiang also glanced at Xiaoyaozi with resentment, he hadn't even asked yet? This master was more anxious than himself, did a person of Master's age have any thoughts about this woman? Otherwise, how could he ask such an impolite question from someone as soon as he came up?

"My name is Xia Yun!" The woman's gaze glanced over Xiaoyaozi's face, and her eyes were fixed on Xiong Qiang's face, it seemed that the most important thing for her was to tell Xiong Qiang this sentence.

"Xia Yun?!" Xiaoyaozi repeated meaningfully, but his gaze looked at Xia Yun very impolitely, and he said almost dreamily: "Like, really like!"

Xiong Qiang was also taken aback by Master's very gaffe appearance, and he was also a little unhappy in his heart, and said lightly: "Master, who is it like?"

Xia Yun's heart tightened, she was indeed very similar to her mother, could she have seen her mother? Thinking of this, she felt her heartbeat speed up a little, she hadn't seen her mother for many years.

"You...... Do you know my mother?" Xia Yun asked a little impatiently.

"Your mother should be Xia Peony, right?"

Listening to Xiaoyaozi's answer, Xia Yun suddenly laughed a little stupidly, she felt that this world was really wonderful, her mother had rarely appeared in the rivers and lakes, and there were few people who knew her, but she happened to meet someone who knew her mother.

"Who are you?, how do you know my mother?" Xia Yun looked at Xiaoyaozi expectantly.

Xiaoyaozi didn't speak for a long time, just looked at Xia Yun quietly, and when he saw Xia Yun, he seemed to see Xia Peony, and there was a kind smile on his elegant face, and his eyes were full of softness. Xiaoyaozi, who put on this expression, made Xiong Qiang also feel a little incomprehensible, this is similar to the cold appearance of the previous master.

In that soft and kind gaze, Xia Yun also felt very warm, as if bathed in spring light. This kind of kindness is like the kind of kindness that my mother took her to the county seat when she was very young, and saw a father feeding porridge to his son in a breakfast shop in the county seat.

That kind of fatherly love, she was very envious, but she had never seen her father, and she didn't know what her father's name was, she had also asked her mother who her father was, but whenever she asked, her mother always gave her a stern look and didn't answer.

Thinking of this, Xia Yun seemed to suddenly become well-behaved, the corners of her mouth involuntarily floated a smile, and a warm word inexplicably appeared in her mind: Father!

"Could it be that he is really my father? Otherwise, how would he know my mother, and how could Shuang look at me with such eyes?" Xia Yun blinked her beautiful and smart big eyes, looking at Xiaoyaozi, but there were countless complicated thoughts in her mind.

When Xiong Qiang saw the expression on Xiaoyaozi's face, his heart was also cold, he had already guessed that the woman in front of him was probably the child of the hard-working woman in Xiaoyaozi's mouth, seeing this scene, the doubts that had always existed in his heart were also solved instantly, Xia Yun suspected that Xiaoyaozi was her father, but Xiong Qiang always suspected that the woman was his mother, this question has been hovering in Xiong Qiang's mind, until now, he finally got the answer, that woman is not his mother.

When he thought of this, his heart seemed to be relieved, but it also seemed to be a lot lost. That woman is not his mother, so who is his mother? Where should his background start? The appearance of these problems made Xiong Qiang have a headache, and he could only exhale softly and put this annoying question aside for the time being.

"You, you won't be my father, will you?" At this time, Xia Yun finally mustered up the courage to ask, she was a straightforward girl, she was more simple and direct than Xiong Qiang.

Hearing this question, Xiaoyaozi was also slightly surprised, looking at Xia Yun's impatient and expectant eyes, he gently patted Xia Yun's shoulder, shook his head gently, sighed faintly, and said, "I'm just an old friend of your mother!"

Xia Yun, who was still jumping like a deer just now, suddenly cooled down when she heard Xiaoyaozi's words, it seemed that she was thinking too much about herself.

After being silent for a while, Xia Yun and Xiaoyaozi asked such a question at the same time: "Where is your (my) mother?"

After speaking, both of them shook their heads and smiled bitterly.

The rain had stopped, and there was an endless night overhead. The three of them headed in the direction of Xiaohe County.

When the three of them walked into the Xiangyun Inn, there were still many drinkers chatting in the inn. When the three entered, many of the people in the inn turned their eyes on them, for unlike these drinkers, all three of them were armed with swords.

The three of them didn't understand why they were greeted with so many people's eyes, and the three of them thought that they were drenched in the rain and turned into soup chickens, and they looked a little embarrassed, which attracted their attention. Xiaoyaozi called the shopkeeper and gave him some silver, asked him to prepare some wine and food, and then bought a set of clothes for each of them.

The shopkeeper was a man in his forties, short and fat, but his fat face was full of smiles, and a pair of shrewd little eyes looked at the three of them.

Xiong Qiang said with some displeasure: "Shopkeeper, aren't the three of us just drenched in the rain?"

"No, no, the three knights have misunderstood, how dare the villain laugh at you? Aren't the three here to arrest the flower thief?"

"Flower thief?" Xia Yun asked suspiciously.

"That's the case, Xiaohe County has lost a lot of people recently, some people have lost their wives, some people have lost their concubines, but the strange thing is that no one has lost the yellow flower girl. ”

As soon as the shopkeeper said this, Xia Yun smiled and said, "This is quite interesting, I only heard that the flower thief specializes in picking yellow flower girls, why do women also pick them?"

"Who says it's not? Now the whole Xiaohe County is full of panic, which man doesn't sleep with his wife tight, for fear of accidentally losing it. Speaking of which, the most unlucky is Li Jun's family outside Li Yuan, who was stolen by flower thieves and took away two concubines. He still has three, though. Now the county lord and several wealthy families in the county have raised the reward to five hundred taels, and several chivalrous warriors are all strong in martial arts, why don't you get rid of this big thief for me in Xiaohe County?"

Listening to the shopkeeper's tone, Xiong Qiang smiled slightly, tapped the table, attached it to the shopkeeper's ear, and asked softly: "Shopkeeper, you must also have a beautiful concubine, right?"

The shopkeeper smiled, with a "you guessed this" expression on his face.

Xiaoyaozi also sneered, although he is a killer, he can be regarded as a businessman, but a killer of his level does big business. Five hundred taels of silver wanted to ask him to help, but it would have been impossible. Hearing the name Flower Thief reminded him of the past. Because when he was young, he was so beautiful and beautiful like a woman that there was once a flower thief who tried to get his hands on him.

This is definitely a great shame for Xiaoyaozi. He is a man, and he is a man with high swordsmanship, ranking tenth on the list of killers, just hearing this name can make people feel frightened, but the flower thief is so bold that he tried to pick him in vain. As you can imagine, the flower thief died, and died a terrible death. Xiaoyaozi not only punished him, but also gouged out his tongue and eyes. Therefore, as soon as Xiaoyaozi hears the word flower thief, he will sneer and laugh angrily.

"Xiong Qiang, I'll leave this task to you! When you first come out of the rivers and lakes, five hundred taels of silver is already a lot. ”
