Zi Ning heard the man's laughter and couldn't help but understand. It turned out that this guy had dismantled a hundred and ten moves, and he had been testing the other party and understanding her master's moves, so he used a lore to make the opponent's long sword get out of his hand with one move. It seems that this man's kung fu is much higher than hers, and he can distinguish the winner with just one move.

She doesn't understand the grievances and grievances of the Jianghu sect, as long as these two people don't trouble her, who cares which sect they are from and what moves they practice.

"Whoosh" The sound of a long sword breaking through the air, the man asked, "The girl is using the sword technique of the Midao Sect, but she is not a disciple of the Midao Sect, who is it?"

The girl said coldly: "I want to ask you who you are, what are your intentions to break into the study of King Huajun!" Her voice was crisp and cold, Zi Ning listened carefully, and felt very familiar, and couldn't help but be surprised, it turned out to be the county lord's maid Frost Goose.

She had some sympathy for the girl, but suddenly heard her voice, and was immediately confused by this intricate scene.

The man who stole in the palace was definitely not a good person, and it was not a good thing for Frost Goose to kidnap her this morning, and follow her to the study, hiding on the rafters on the roof and secretly spying on her. The two of them were indistinguishable from friend and foe, which made her more and more uneasy, and she thought: "It's better to leave them alone, I can't protect myself, I must leave as soon as possible." ”

Seeing that there was no need to continue hiding, Zi Ning bent down with all his strength, picked up the wet oil-paper umbrella, opened it with a "whoosh", held the umbrella handle in his hand, and stood up in front of him to form an arc-shaped self-defense shield. She took a cautious step, probing for a moment, before tiptoeing out from behind the bookshelf.

The edges of the oil-paper umbrella were tattered by the rain, and the thin oil-brown paper leaked a few small holes, which could not be covered at all. But Zi Ning didn't care about this, the cat hid behind the umbrella with her waist, thinking: "Whatever, there is something in front of him, and there is a sense of security." ”

The man and the woman were facing each other, when suddenly a crumpled oil-paper umbrella appeared from behind the bookshelf, and under the umbrella was a half-wet muddy skirt and embroidered shoes. Immediately after that, a pair of feet wearing embroidered shoes slowly moved outward, and a pair of black eyes looked out from the hole in the umbrella surface, his eyes flashed and his bones turned slightly.

Zi Ning looked out of the small hole in the umbrella and saw that the man was dressed in black, his face and forehead were covered with black cloth, and only a pair of eyes were revealed like stars. Frost Goose was still wearing the dark yellow clothes she wore in the morning, and she also covered her face with a cloth, so she couldn't see any expression, but her eyes were full of surprise.

The man snorted coldly and said, "It turns out that there is a mouse hiding behind the bookshelf, and it is not small!" His eyes swept under the oil-paper umbrella, and he saw that she showed a pair of staggering feet, and the hem of the light cyan cloak was wet with rain and covered with a piece of mud.

Zi Ning's scalp was numb, her face suddenly blushed, and she couldn't help but reply: "You yourself are a book thief, and you actually say that I am a mouse, have you ever seen a mouse in a skirt that can talk?"

The masked man glanced at her and saw that she was wearing a satin cape, and her hat covered her sideburns, reflecting her pale face beautifully. He looked at him with a strange look in his eyes and said, "Sneaky, it's not a rat!" His right wrist slowly turned, and the long sword in his hand was raised, the blade of the sword cut through the flowing air, and a piercing chill forced him.

Zi Ning was startled, hurriedly raised the umbrella, raised it high in front of him, stepped back again and again, closed his eyes and screamed: "You are also sneaky...... Don't kill me!"

"Huh!" A sword light slashed down, and the oil-paper umbrella in front of Zi Ning's eyes cracked in half.

Zi Ning was dumbfounded, holding the empty wooden umbrella handle in both hands, trembling all over. When he opened his eyes suddenly, he saw that Frost Goose's face was pale, the cloth on his face was lifted off at some point, and two lines of blood flowed from the corners of his mouth.

Frost Goose's goose egg face showed horror, and the sword qi just now was clearly slashing at Zi Ning, but it turned a corner halfway and stabbed straight towards her face. Although she barely avoided the sword, the cloth covering her face shattered, and at the same time, the sword qi shook her inner breath, almost spurting out a mouthful of blood.

Zi Ning was shocked, and saw that the frost goose bit her pale lip tightly, and covered her undulating chest with one hand, as if she was seriously injured.

Frost Goose's complexion was slightly dark, with a hint of beauty in the coldness, and a pair of eyes stared at the masked man fiercely, his eyes flashed, and he had a unique charm.

Zi Ning thought that this man had killed Frost Goose, and he was going to kill her next, so he hurriedly threw the broken umbrella in his hand and shouted, "I didn't see anything, don't kill me!"

"Ahem!"

The frost goose coughed violently twice, frowned in pain, the corners of her mouth bent upward, and suddenly her sleeves trembled, throwing out a round black ball, and throwing it at the masked man with a "whew".

Zi Ning looked out from between her fingers and saw that the little black ball was only the size of an egg, with a black and shiny metallic texture, she immediately widened her eyes and screamed, "Bomb!"

This shout was completely instinctive, and he hurriedly took two steps back, thinking: "The jet-black ball thrown by the frost goose must be a bomb, my mother, this time there will be no corpse!" As soon as he shouted out, suddenly there was a fog in front of him, and the masked man spread his arms, like a black falcon, and slammed up to the roof.

With a force in his hand, he immediately threw a scroll downward, and slammed it on Zi Ning's forehead with a "bang". The strength of the scroll was amazing, Zi Ning didn't have time to dodge, she was hit by the scroll, her body couldn't stand, and she fell backwards.

"Oops, you bastard!" Zi Ning screamed, slamming the back of her head on the bluestone floor, and screaming in pain. Then there was a huge explosion, and all the scrolls on the bookshelves flew up, the scrolls scattered, pieces of paper and broken silk cloth fluttered everywhere, and the incense burner shook violently, and thick incense ashes spilled out and scattered all over the room.

Zi Ning only felt dizzy and nauseous, her eyes were glazed, and her nose was hot. When I reached out and touched it, I saw that my hands were full of blood, and I was so frightened that I almost fainted.

The black ball thrown out by the frost goose was indeed an explosive bomb, and she lay upright on the ground, with a hazy cloud of smoke and shredded paper scattered in front of her eyes, and she cursed in her heart: "Isn't this the Great Jin Kingdom, why are there bombs in the era of cold weapons!" Who would be more unlucky than me, obviously traveled to ancient times, and only encountered high-end weapons as soon as I went out. ”

She didn't know that gunpowder appeared as early as the Warring States period and was widely used in Taoism. Frost Goose has a lot to do with the Midao Sect and is used to this kind of thunderbolt that can explode. Fortunately, the thunderbolt was not very powerful, and instead of a modern grenade, the whole house was blown up.

Half a day after the explosion, Zi Ning's face was dark and blue, and she got up from the ground in pain, but she saw that a window lattice was broken, but the frost goose disappeared, obviously taking advantage of the explosion to escape from the window.

A masked man dressed in black stood in front of her, with his long sword standing behind him, standing tall and frowning, and asked, "Who are you?"

Zi Ning rubbed her two sore knees, barely straightened her waist, and saw that the oil-paper umbrella had already exploded into pieces, she couldn't help but feel palpitations, and said angrily: "You don't care who I am, I was almost killed by you." What's so great about a thunderball, this girl has seen a grenade!" She was indignant, and took a step forward, less than a foot away from the masked man, and suddenly smelled a faint scent of sandalwood.

The masked man's eyes were cold, and he said coldly: "I was able to save your life just now, and I can take your life at any time." ”

Zi Ning suddenly understood that he had smashed her down with a scroll just now, and he didn't want her to be injured by the bomb, but he was actually trying to save her. Suddenly his heart warmed, his face became embarrassed, and he twisted: "I know you mean well, count me as owing you a favor, and find a chance to repay you." ”

The masked man snorted, "I don't need you to repay!" Flicked his sleeves, turned sideways away from her, and said, "You haven't answered me yet, who are you?"

"I ......" Zi Ning stood up, not knowing how to speak. If he was told that he was a maid outside the second gate of the palace, he would definitely have to ask why he came to the study, and how to explain it.

A sandalwood aroma disturbed Zi Ning's mind, and she sniffed deeply, it was exactly the same as the smell on the fan, she couldn't help but raise her head and carefully look at the masked man in front of her, his breath was covered by black clothes, and it was difficult to merge with the bright white figure under the apricot blossom tree.

"You ......" Zi Ning's face turned red, her heart was beating wildly, she stretched out her hand to point at him, and slowly took a step closer, the smell of sandalwood became stronger and stronger.

The masked man took half a step back, feeling inexplicable, seeing her nose bleeding, her face crimson, and her eyes were very obsessed, as if she had hysteria, he couldn't help but say, "You...... Stand still. I won't kill you, you can leave quickly. ”

The girl in front of him behaved and talked strangely, which made him upset for no reason, and he didn't dare to look her eyes, but only hoped that she would leave as soon as possible and go as far as possible.

Zi Ning suddenly grinned, slapped her hands with her hands, couldn't help jumping up, and shouted, "You are a benefactor!" She was sure that this person was a young man dressed in gold and white, and among the pink and white petals of the apricot blossom, he raised his hand and threw out a folding fan, smashed the pottery bowl containing poison, and saved her life.

She once vowed to find a benefactor for the rest of her life, and she was determined to give up, but she didn't expect the two to meet so soon.

The masked man is even more strange, isn't this girl a fool, I saved her life just now, and she only now understands that I am a benefactor, this is not stupid.

Zi Ning didn't know what he was thinking, jumped up jubilantly, and shouted with a smile: "Benefactor, I finally found you!" stepped forward and grabbed his sleeve, clutched it in his hand, and refused to let go again, tears of excitement flashed in his eyes.

The masked man was surprised, stared at her for a moment, and suddenly his eyes changed, and he said, "So it's you?"

He recognized Zi Ning's face and couldn't help but feel a little strange. A little girl who was covered in injuries and rescued two days ago actually appeared in King Huajun's study, which he couldn't have imagined anyway.

"That's right, it's me!" Zi Ning said with a smile, raising her hand to sweep her unkempt hair to the sides of her sideburns, revealing a delicate cheek.

There was a messy footstep outside the house, and the explosion obviously alarmed the palace courtyard, and the two turned their heads to look at the door, only to hear the sound of a group of people shouting, "There is movement in Jingxinzhai, everyone go over and take a look, be careful!"

"A few of you go to protect the prince and the eldest princess, and the rest of you come with me!"

"Catch the mouth alive, don't let one go!"

The masked man looked indifferently, glanced at Zi Ning silently, raised his hand and shook off his sleeves, and turned around to leave. Zi Ning hurriedly stepped forward, grabbed the corners of his clothes with both hands, and begged: "Benefactor take me with me, I don't want to die here." The voice was pitiful, and the eyes were full of earnest longing.

The human heart is very wonderful, and since he has saved her twice, he must not bear to let her stay and die. Zi Ning is not worried about his hard heart, she is completely sure that her benefactor will definitely save her again.

Sure enough, the masked man hesitated, then raised his hand, grabbed Zi Ning's sleeve hard, and said, "Follow me!" His voice was firm and powerful, full of low magnetism, Zi Ning's heart was like being illuminated by the sun, and suddenly brightened, and he muttered in his mouth: "I'll go with you, I can go to the ends of the earth...... Then the masked man rushed open the door of the house and flew out with her.

The drizzle fell more densely, and a group of guards armed with sharp knives and folding sticks rushed to the front, and the black shadows surrounded the two of them. Zi Ning's heart was unusually calm, she didn't feel scared at all, she turned her head and saw the dark and shining eyes of her benefactor, and suddenly felt a great comfort, feeling that even if they died together like this, they were extremely happy.

The cold wind blew in his ears, but it rolled up a trace of heat and warmth. ————
