The autumn wind is sometimes warm and sometimes cold, the willow branches by the river are swaying in the wind, and the wild grass on the river bank is bent over by the wind.

Xia Yun leaned on Xiong Wei's shoulder, looking at the sunset that was about to set on the horizon, and she was very satisfied.

Xiong Wei put his arm around Xia Yun's shoulders, clasped her hand from time to time, kissed her forehead, and said with a smile: "It's windy, it's cold." ”

Xia Yun shook her head gently, lay in Xiong Wei's arms, and sighed and said: "Ruthless is not as affectionate as bitter, I am a ruthless person, but I don't know when to ......"

Xia Yun's face turned red again as she spoke, although she was nervous about pretending to be a woman, and her style of doing things was no worse than that of men, but she was always her daughter's family, and she swallowed back the words when they came to her mouth.

Xiong Wei looked at Xia Yun expectantly, and deliberately teased her, "But I don't know when or what?"

Xiong Wei didn't say it's okay, but when he said this, Xia Yun's face turned even redder.

Xiong Wei looked at Xia Yun's shy answer, and felt pity again, hugged her tighter, and said with a long sigh of relief: "Once the sea was difficult to water, except for Wushan, it is not Yun!"

He said and looked at Xia Yun again, and deliberately said again: "It's not Yun." ”

The two of them sat by the river like this, and before they knew it, it was night again, and the two looked at the stars in the sky, and even if they didn't say anything, they would feel happy when they leaned on each other's arms.

"Xiong Wei, where do you say we should go to live in seclusion in the mountains and forests?" Xia Yun began to fantasize about her future life, even if she was just fantasizing, she felt very satisfied.

"Huh?" said Xiong after a moment's thought, "we can go back to the Cottage." Xiaoyaozi Villa is in the middle of the mountains, and I have been with Master for so long, and I haven't seen anyone come to visit Master. Master said that this place came out of him only with me, and no one knew. ”

"Okay, let's go to Loose Hills. Xia Yun said happily, she paused again as she spoke, her tone was a little willful and a little coquettish, "However, I also want to go and see everywhere." ”

Xiong Wei looked at Xia Yun's appearance and suddenly couldn't help laughing, he now found that Xia Yun was more and more like a child, he hugged Xia Yun's shoulders tighter again, and said in a coaxing tone: "Okay, no matter where you want to go, I will accompany you." If you are tired of living in Xiaoyao Villa and want to come out to breathe, we will do chivalrous righteousness in the rivers and lakes. ”

"Okay, we can do whatever we want. Xia Yun began to imagine her daily life in her heart again. Suddenly, she had the feeling that she would be able to live the life she wanted to live in the future.

The moon slowly climbed up the hill, and the moonlight dyed the black clouds in the sky a pale yellow, revealing bursts of silver light. In the endless sky, there were a few scattered stars, and if you looked closely, they were also faintly glowing, but they could not compare with this moonlight.

That's how the two of them talked and laughed by the river, and unconsciously fell asleep.

When the moon sets and the sun rises, the black clouds that have just been turned pale yellow by the moonlight are dyed golden red by the sun's rays. The sky is pale blue and pale blue, and it seems to be in a hurry.

Occasionally, a piece of white clouds floats by, reflected in the river, and in the blink of an eye, I don't know whether the flowing water is pushing the white clouds, or the white clouds driving the flowing water.

Xiong Wei woke up early, Xia Yun leaned on his arm, although his arm had long been numb and unconscious, Xiong Wei still did not move, looking at Xia Yun quietly.

Xia Yun seemed to feel Xiong Wei looking at her, and slowly opened her eyes. At first glance, I saw Xiong Wei's clear eyes and a familiar smile.

"Why do you look at me like this?" Xia Yun also looked at him with a smile.

As soon as Xiong Wei put his hand away, Xia Yun naturally threw herself into Xiong Wei's arms. Xiong Wei said in a deep voice: "Yun'er, we have been out for so many days today, and it is time to go back." ”

"Well, let's go back. Xia Yun leaned on Xiong Wei's arms, and felt a very down-to-earth feeling in her heart.

The two of them were not in a hurry or impatient, and walked slowly and leisurely towards the palace.

As soon as they came to the vicinity of the Qianqing Palace, Xiong Wei smelled a different smell. The guards in the palace seemed to be very faceless, and the eyes of each guard revealed a thick murderous aura.

Xiong Wei knew that Xiaoyaozi would usually protect the emperor's safety in the Qianqing Palace. He glanced around the vicinity of the Qianqing Palace, but found no trace of Xiaoyaozi.

"Yun'er, do you feel that these guards are weird. The closer Xiong Wei got to the Qianqing Palace, the more serious the ominous feeling in his heart became.

"I don't know where Master is, I'll have to ask him what's going on. Xiong Wei stood at the foot of the steps of the Qianqing Palace, looking at the emperor's bedroom, he wanted to go in, but he felt that the door seemed to be a trap.

"I'll go up and have a look, you're waiting for me here. Xiong Wei said and walked to the emperor's bedroom.

Xia Yun didn't speak, walked to the side, and waited quietly for Xiong Wei.

Xiong Wei walked over and respectfully saluted the two eunuchs standing at the door and said, "Father-in-law, I want to ask you something. ”

"Say something. The eunuch looked unanswering, and glanced at Xiong Wei out of the corner of his eye.

Xiong Wei immediately felt a kind of depression from the cold wind.

Eunuchs are the fastest people in the palace to deliver news, and sometimes from their faces and attitudes towards people, you can often tell whether this person is gaining or losing power.

Xiong Wei had long been accustomed to seeing the faces of these people, so he just smiled faintly and said, "Father-in-law, can you see my master? ”

"I'm not your minion, what's my business where your master is. ”

Xiong Wei listened to his words, his fists clenched, and he really wanted to punch him hard.

He held back his breath and punched the palm of his other hand, he couldn't break in directly, and the only way to see if Xiaoyaozi was in the emperor's bedroom was to ask the eunuch on duty.

He changed his modest tone just now, and said viciously: "I see that you still tell me whether my master is in the emperor's bedroom." ”

The eunuch still didn't buy it, and said with an uncontrollable expression: "You hurry up, hurry up, don't make the emperor rest." ”

Xiong Wei was about to punch the eunuch, when suddenly another eunuch appeared from the side, grabbed Xiong Wei and said, "Lord Xiong, Lord Xiong, dissipate your anger, I know where your master is?"

Xiong Wei looked at this eunuch from beginning to end, he had never seen this person in the palace. He looked at the eunuch with some suspicion and said, "Where do you say my master is?"

The eunuch pulled Xiong Wei aside, looked at him with a wicked smile, and said, "Your master is sick today, so rest in his room." ”

Xiong Wei repeated strangely when he heard this: "Sick? ”

"Oh, nothing. It's just a chill. The eunuch hurriedly added.

Xiong Wei wondered that he had been with Xiaoyaozi for so long, and he had only heard that Xiaoyaozi was injured, but he had never heard that Xiaoyaozi was sick. Before he could react to what was going on, the little eunuch hurriedly said, "If Lord Xiong is fine, the little one will retire first." ”

After he finished speaking, he hurried away.

Xiong Wei frowned, looked at the eunuch's hurried back, and thought: Forget it, I'd better go to the master's room to have a look.

Xiong Wei took Xia Yun to the place where Xiaoyaozi lived.

Xiong Wei knocked softly on the door and asked, "Master, Master, are you inside?"

Xiong Wei knocked for a while, but found that no one responded. Xiong Wei breathed a long sigh of relief, and suddenly felt that something was wrong.

"Squeak......" Xiong Wei slowly pushed open the door, revealing a gap, his eyes glanced inside, a blue and white porcelain teapot was quietly placed on the table, and the room seemed to be empty.

He looked sideways at Xia Yun, Xia Yun turned his head to look in the direction of the door, gave Xiong Wei a look, and motioned for him to go in.

Xiong Wei pushed the door in, and Xia Yun also followed him in.

Xiong Wei stepped in, Xia Yun tugged at his sleeve, and motioned for him to look to the right side. Xiong Wei looked sideways, Xiaoyaozi's bed was right hand side, and he said softly, "Master?"

The mosquito net on Xiaoyaozi's bed was tightly closed, and through the mosquito net, Xiong Wei saw Xiaoyaozi lying on the bed with his back to him.

Xiong Wei waited for a while, but Xiaoyaozi did not answer him. He walked over slowly, lifted the mosquito net, and poked his head over to see how Xiaoyaozi was ill.

The man lying on the bed immediately turned over, jumped up and slashed at Xiong Wei.

Xiong Wei grabbed this man's hand, waited for him, and said excitedly, "Who are you and why are you on my master's bed." ”

The man kicked his legs, jumped up, and kicked at the bear.

Xiong quickly turned around and dodged the attack, while kicking the man with his back. Before he could react, two more people jumped out from the left and right sides of Xiaoyaozi's bed, slashing at him with knives.

Xiong Wei grabbed the man's hand, shook it horizontally, and hit the person on his left, and he jumped up again, and a whirlwind kick kicked the man to his right.

Xia Yun wanted to help Xiong Wei, but before she could go out, two more people were killed from the outside and slashed her from behind.

She hurriedly possessed them, dodged their knives, and jumped up again, kicking them down one by one.

Seeing that Xia Yun was also attacked, Xiong Wei jumped over, looked at these black-clothed people back to back with Xia Yun, and asked, "Who are you?

The man in black did not answer him, but rushed towards them with a knife and a fierce look.

Xiong Wei wielded his sword, and with a single sword, he cut off the knife of one of them. How could such an ordinary weapon be comparable to the artifact in Xiong Wei's hand.

Xiong Wei's foot bent back slightly, and with a backhand sword, he stabbed another person to death. He quickly drew his sword, turned around quickly, and pierced a person who was attacking Xia Yun with a sword.

He watched the other two people trying to escape, quickly jumped to the door, kicked the door shut, pointed at one of them by the throat, and said viciously, "Who are you?"

Xiong Wei approached step by step, the man in black retreated step by step, Xiong Wei waved his sword again, and said impatiently: "Say, who sent you." ”

Xiong Wei was looking at the man in black, and suddenly spit out something from the mouth of the man in black, and quickly flew towards Xiong Wei. Xiong Wei hurriedly lowered his head to dodge.

The man in black took the opportunity to escape past Xiong Wei, who hurriedly turned around and mercilessly pierced his chest from the back of the man in black with a sword, picked him up and threw him on the table, and the table was quickly smashed by him.

Xiong Wei looked at the other man again, and sat down on the ground, seeing that he had bitten his tongue and killed himself.

Xia Yun walked over without giving up, tested him again to see if he was angry, shook his head in disappointment, and said, "He probably saw that he couldn't escape, and he crawled to catch him and interrogate him, so he committed suicide." ”

Xiong Wei smiled slightly, "What a professional killer." ”

He smiled, and suddenly said very seriously, "But who are they?"
