The autumn wind is blowing, and the bright moon is in the sky.

Two figures, one tall and one short, walked along the rugged mountain road with heavy and tired steps.

The moonlight streamed on their faces, reflecting their faces and figures.

The man at the head, with a long body, a strange appearance, and a look like lightning, is the world-famous swordsmanship master Gai Nie for his "Hundred Steps Flying Sword". Behind him was a delicate and beautiful woman of the right age, with a delicate posture and a refined appearance, and in the reflection of the moonlight, she looked even more covered in ice muscles and jade bones, this person was Gai Lan, the daughter of Gai Nie.

"Oops......" Gai Nie hurriedly turned around and helped his daughter who almost lost his footing, and said softly with concern, "Lan'er, can you still support it?" Gai Lan smiled slightly, his face suddenly showed coquettishness, and he gasped and said, "Daddy, although this mountain road is rugged, my daughter can handle it for a while. 」

Gai Nie's distressed daughter suppressed her hard work, a trace of melancholy faintly flashed across her face, and said, "If it weren't for Xiahou Yang's sudden appearance in Yan Kingdom, you wouldn't have to follow your father all the way around. After waiting for the hill ahead, let's take a break. 」

Gai Lan Yanran said, "No need, Daddy, it's important to hurry. Since we have been chasing him for more than half a month, and we almost captured him in that town yesterday, why don't we hurry up and maybe catch him. 」

Gai Nie glanced at his daughter with great pity, and saw that her sideburns were scattered a few strands and her face was tired, only then did he realize that Gai Lan's face was much haggard under the pursuit of the day, and her petite figure looked extremely thin under the moonlight, and she couldn't bear to say: "Lan'er, let's chase the Fa like this, I don't think Xiahou Yang can escape far. You haven't had a good rest for three days in a row, so you still have to watch your body. Let Daddy take you with him!"

Gailan sneered, "No. If it spreads, let people know that the daughter of the great swordsman Gai Nie is so weak, not only will it damage her father's reputation, but her daughter will also be laughed at. It's better to let my daughter go alone, I'll do it. As he spoke, he quickened his pace, and at once he crossed Ganie.

Seeing that his daughter was so strong, Gai Nie was relieved and hurriedly hurried up to catch up.

The father and daughter hurried for a while, and suddenly a small hill appeared in front of them. Gagnie stopped and surveyed the terrain, realizing that there was only a winding path leading to the mountain, lined with strange peaks and rocks.

"Daddy, we're going straight up the mountain. At that moment, Gai Nie did not hesitate anymore, and climbed the mountain with Gai Lan.

Although the mountain is not high, it is condescending because it is raised on a large peak. Gai Nie stood on the top of the mountain, looked down, and halfway up the mountain, suddenly saw a canyon, between which there was a rope bridge connecting the two mountains. The wind in the mountains is strong, and the rope bridge babbles and shakes in the wind, as if it is not very stable, and there seems to be no other way to cross the opposite mountain than this rope bridge.

Gai Nie pointed to the rope bridge and said, "Lan'er, let's cross that rope bridge, Dad will carry you over!"

Gailan glanced at the rope bridge, shook his head, and said, "Lan'er is not afraid. Daddy, don't help me then, lest you ruin your daughter's prestige. 」

Gai Nie looked at his daughter's stubborn and competitive appearance, and his heart was full of pity. The father and daughter rested for a while, got up and walked around the side of the mountain to halfway up the mountain.

Go down the hill and come to the rope bridge. The rope bridge is made of vines and trees, and it looks old and very rudimentary. Gai Nie tried to stretch out his foot and step on the rattan, only to hear a creaking sound, but it was still quite firm, but he always felt unsteady in his heart, and turned back to Gailan and said, "Daddy go first, and after you make sure it's safe, you can follow." 」

After saying that, Gai Nie Fei jumped up a few times, and he had reached the opposite mountain. He was about to call Gailan to cross the bridge, when he suddenly heard a stumble behind him, and when he looked back, eight men in strong suits flashed in front of him, holding long swords in their hands, cross-legged horses and bent bows, all wrapped in black clothes, covered with black cloth, and their eyes shot out a sharp light.

Gai Nie was stunned, and one of the people in the middle suddenly smiled and said, "Lao Tzu knows that you two will definitely go from this side, this time everyone is going to make meritorious contributions, go up!" With a roar, the rest of the masked people rushed up to surround Gai Nie on three sides, until he was about to retreat to the rope bridge.

At this time, there was a sound of fighting in his ears, it was from the opposite mountain, Gai Nie raised his eyes, and eight masked men also appeared on Gailan's side, fighting with Gailan. He was anxious, but he couldn't reach it, and he could only get out of it by sending away all the opponents in front of him.

Gai Nie stepped forward, took several steps, and stood still in front of the eight masked men. His sword stretched across his chest, revealing a fearless momentum in front of the enemy, so that people did not dare to insult him. The eight masked people looked at each other a few times, and after hesitating for a while, three of them shouted, and the three swords came out together, and attacked Gai Nie in three ways, Gai Nie Ping raised his long sword, and when the opponent's sword attack in front of him, he suddenly turned to one side, avoided the two swords, shook his wrist, and the long sword stabbed the third person's chest. The remaining two were startled and hurriedly returned to the sword to parry, but Gai Nie struck three swords in a row, attacking the opponent's vital point from the top, middle and bottom, and between the three rounds, it was already anti-guest-oriented, forcing the two to be in a hurry, only barely parrying, and there was no power to fight back.

Seeing that the situation was unfavorable, the other five masked men had already jumped over Gai Nie to join the battle, and the men and horses on both sides attacked towards Gai Nie, and Gai Nie jumped out of the encirclement, his body volleyed in the air, and his long sword swept down the heads of the seven people. In the scuffle, the rope bridge shook incessantly, and the babbling sound continued, which was extremely thrilling. Gai Nie's swordsmanship unfolded, not only did the seven people not take advantage, but restrained each other, unable to use their hands and feet, Gai Nie suddenly shouted, one of the fast swords forward, left and right, raised the ground diagonally and stabbed, a masked man screamed, the sword in his shoulder, turned over and fell into the valley.

At this moment, Gai Nie suddenly heard Gai Lan's exclamation, turned his head slightly, and found that Gai Lan's situation was critical, and he wanted to withdraw to rescue his daughter, but after a little distraction, six long swords were like poisonous snakes to entangle Gai Nie.

At this critical moment, a heroic figure landed directly in front of Gailan, stretched out his hand to protect Gailan's waist, took out a few swords, forced the three of them back, and turned back to Gailan and said, "Girl, are you okay?"

In the panic, Gai Nie found that someone had come to help, and he felt a little calmer, but he couldn't help but ask in a loud voice, "Lan'er, are you okay?"

Gailan replied in shock, "Daddy, be careful, my daughter is fine!"

At this moment, another voice sounded: "Brother Jing, have you caught up?" Then I saw a person running on the mountain road, it was Tian Guang. Tian Guang and Jing Ke got the news from Prince Dan and learned that Gai Nie's father and daughter were coming to Yan Kingdom, so they hurriedly came to respond.

Gai Nie was relieved to see that his daughter was fine, and at this time, the three masked people in the back row jumped on the shoulders of the three people in front of them, and the six swords came out at the same time, only to hear the sound of "Dang Dang Dang" several times, and the six people had stabbed more than ten swords in a blink of an eye. But the Gai Nie sword came out like the wind, and dissolved these more than ten swords one by one. The six of them shouted loudly, and a series of twelve swords stabbed out, and the six swords attacked at the same time, staggering left and right, up and down, without any chaos, weaving a perfect lotus sword array. These six people put this sword formation out of the power several times more than the single attack, Gai Nie took the opportunity to dance a sword in his hand into a ball of sword flowers, protecting the whole body, and sometimes suddenly attacked, so that these six killers could not take care of the end, messing up the lotus sword formation. He took the opportunity to make a "white crane with bright wings", flew up, and then changed his move in the air, stabbing a sword obliquely at the masked man led by him. The masked man hurriedly raised his sword to block it. Unexpectedly, Gai Nie's sword was a false move, and he stabbed at another masked killer with a different move, and when the man noticed that Gai Nie's sword tip was close to him, Gai Nie had already slashed his throat with a sword.

The remaining five people did not expect that Gai Nie's martial arts were so high, and after a few rounds, the three brothers had died in Huangquan.

Despite this, the five masked killers still showed no intention of retreating, and the masked man led by one seemed to be more difficult, shouted loudly, and then joined forces with four other subordinates to open another sword net, desperately trying to block Gai Nie's way.

Gai Nie saw that three of the eight masked killers had been killed, but the other five still had no intention of flinching, and their sword moves were extremely vicious. I can't help but think that this group is not a rabble, and it is even possible that it is an organized assassination group. He pressed his sword in his hand and said loudly, "I don't know each other with you, why do you repeatedly kill people, please report your name, and you will not kill unknown people under the sword. 」

The masked leader didn't say a word, only glanced at a few people around him, then swung his sword and killed the general.

Gai Nie opened his sword and said, "Aren't you Xiahou Yang's thief's subordinates?"

Several masked killers stopped suddenly, and the masked leader replied in a hoarse voice, "It's good that you know it's time to die!"

Gai Nie knew that he had guessed well, he couldn't help but frown angrily, the sword blade was sharper, three times and two times, the sword array had been disintegrated, one of them was waiting to move forward, Gai Nie waved his hand, and the long sword flew out like lightning, turning into a Lian Hong and taking the person's head, without splashing blood. Gai Nie's wrist flicked, and the long sword flew back into his palm.

Gai Nie's "Hundred Steps Flying Sword" surprised the rest of the masked killers. The masked leader wanted to order a siege of Gai Nie, but the other masked killers were already frightened.

Gai Nie didn't hesitate for a moment, and with a wave of his hand, the long sword shot like lightning into a person's chest, piercing his back. The man only felt an inexplicable stinging pain spread from his chest to his back, and before he could understand what was happening, he looked down and found that a bloody hole had opened in his chest, gushing blood, and he fell to the ground and passed out. The three masked men also stopped, frozen in place.

This is an empty moment, Gai Nie has no sword in his hand! Kill him immediately! This evil thought flashed through the minds of the three masked men, so the three of them coincidentally stabbed Gai Nie from different directions, using the most poisonous and ruthless tricks.

Gai Nie took half a step back, his legs bent and kicked, and his body was already in the air, lightly avoiding the blow of the three of them. The sword flew back into his hand as if it had come to life.

Gai Nie's body was in mid-air, and he raised his sword and suddenly slashed at the rope, and with a "bang", one of the rattans broke, and the bridge suddenly leaned to the right. Gai Nie suddenly threw himself forward, really moving like a rabbit, rushing into the masked man, the sword flashed, it had pierced into the throat of one person, followed by the return sword, cut off one of the arms of the other person, and the speed was jaw-dropping.

The remaining two were just about to withdraw their hands, but Gai Nie stretched out his hands and grabbed the wrists of the two of them, and with a "pounce" sound, the long sword in the hands of the two immediately pierced into each other's chest. Gai Nie followed with a punch of his right hand, slashed the face of the person on the left, beat him all over the face, followed by a step forward, leaned on his shoulder, and with a "bang", knocked the person on the right to a standstill, screamed, and fell off the bridge.

The sound of babbling turned around, and with the sound of "brush", all the ropes were broken, and the bridge fell into the valley in an instant. "Daddy—" At the last moment, Gai Nie flipped out of the rope bridge.

On the other side, Jing Ke found that the masked body that attacked Gailan was extremely fast, so he used the "Eighteen Swords of Shocking" to quickly counter it. Jing Ke usually hates the people who attack the old and weak women and children, but when he met this group of masked people today, he couldn't help but think of the snatched Liji, and he was furious in his heart, and he shot like the wind, and instantly fired eighteen swords in a row, killing three masked people.

The remaining five masked people saw that the situation was reversed, and Gai Nie had killed five people in a row, and Jing Ke made a move here, unable to capture Gai Lan, so they were suddenly shocked and angry, danced their long swords, and shouted at Jing Ke to kill. Jing Ke toe a little, lightly stretched the ape arm, a sword swinged, the sword light was like a rainbow, "dang" sound, actually split the long sword of one of the masked people into two, followed by the sword blade, this person with shoulder and arm, split in half.

The other four masked men were horrified and turned to leave. However, how could they be as fast as Jing Ke's sword, and with one move, "Divine Dragon Appeared", the long sword was lightly stabbed, and it instantly stabbed on the arms, shoulders, chests, and legs of the four masked men. Only a few screams and swords fell to the ground, and the last four masked men fell.

"Dad, what's wrong with you?" said Garan to Gayne's side. Gai Nie said softly, "Dad is fine. Immediately, after carefully looking at Gailan, after confirming that Gailan was not injured, he turned to Jing Ke and hugged his fists and thanked him, "Thank you for saving the little girl!" I thought to myself: I haven't seen him for many years, but Jing Ke's martial arts have really improved a lot.

Jing Ke returned the salute and said, "It's been several years since I said goodbye before. It is really Jing Ke's luck to be able to see Mr. Gai's magic skills again today!" Tian Guang also hugged his fists and said, "Mr. Gai's swordsmanship is amazing, which is an eye-opener for Tian Guang. 」

Gai Lan was behind Gai Nie, secretly staring at Jing Ke directly, seeing his sword eyebrows, resolute eyes, majestic and majestic, just now when he was in danger, he saw his chivalrous ambition, and couldn't help but worship, and when he was obsessed, he suddenly saw Jing Ke look at himself, and couldn't help but bow his head shyly, blushing, and looking like a little daughter.

Gai Nie just wanted to capture Na Xiahou Yang as soon as possible, and after a fight, it had been a long time, for fear that the tracking clues would be cut off, so he said: "The two of you will help you later, let Gai Nie report it in the future, so don't pass it for now." Lan'er, let's hit the road!"

Tian Guang hurriedly said, "Mr. Gai, please stay. Since Mr. has arrived in Yan Kingdom, and he is an old friend of Brother Jing, I wonder if Mr. can give Tian Guang thin noodles and go to Jicheng to rest together?" Gai Nie said apologetically: "Brother Tian is gracious, Gai Mou has a heart. Gai has other important things to do, and he must leave!"

Tian Guang smiled slightly, and said to Gai Nie politely, "Mr. Gai is tracking that thief Xiahou Yang?" Gai Nie's face changed, and he was about to speak, when Gai Lan suddenly asked, "Exactly, does Mr. Tian know his whereabouts?"

Tian Guang continued: "According to the report from the prince's men, that Xiahou Yang is in Jicheng at the moment, and those masked thieves must also be instructed by him. Gai Nie's spirits were lifted and he said, "Thank you Mr. Tian for reminding me, Gai will go and catch the thief." Farewell!" he said, pulling up Géran and moving to go.

Tian Guang still smiled and said, "The contemptible residence is in Jicheng, and there are many diners under the prince's door, so I should be able to find out the whereabouts of Xiahou Yang for Mr. Gai. If Mr. Gai doesn't dislike it, he can live in the house temporarily, and Tian Guang will definitely find the whereabouts of that Xiahou Yang. 」

Jing Ke also clenched his fists and said to Gai Nie: "Last time, thanks to Mr. Nie's advice, Jing Ke benefited a lot, and after many years of separation, it is really a privilege to see Mr. Gai again today. Just ask Mr. to move to Jicheng, Jing Ke also wants to ask Mr. for advice again. 」

Gai Nie was about to refuse, but Gai Lan glanced at Jing Ke and said, "Daddy, if it weren't for this Mr. Jing just now, Lan Er would have died a long time ago. The two gentlemen invited us so kindly, how can we disobey ......."

Gailan's voice was soft and moving, and he spoke with reason. Tian Guang and Jing Ke listened and nodded in agreement.

Gai Nie still had some concerns: "Lan'er, Jicheng ......."

Gailan snorted, "I heard that the weather is cool there, the sky is blue and the water is clear, Lan'er wants to go and see it. Dad just promised Lan'er, okay?"

Tian Guangya said, "Sir, don't shirk anymore. 」

Gai Nie sighed and said to Tian Guang, "That's a lot of trouble!"

Tian Guang and Jing Ke were overjoyed, and hurriedly said, "Mr. Gai doesn't need to be polite. 」

Tian Guang temporarily placed Gai Nie's father and daughter in a small mansion with a quiet environment.

This night, Gailan saw that his father was a little uneasy, and couldn't help but ask softly, "Daddy, have you ever been to Jicheng?"

"Jicheng ......" Gai Nie's thoughts suddenly drifted back to a night eighteen years ago......

That night, Gai Nie and his wife stayed overnight in Jicheng. In the inn, Gai Nie said to his wife, "Lan'er, are you still thinking about revenge at this time?" Meng Lan said gloomily, "I don't know. All I know is that whether I remember it or not, the wicked man will never let me go easily. Gai Nie put his arm around Meng Lan and reassured, "Don't think like that, with me by your side, that thief will not succeed." 」

There was a moment of silence, and suddenly I heard the sound of footsteps coming from the roof. Gai Nie was alert, and hurriedly said to Meng Lan, "You stay in the house and don't go away, I'll go out to explore!"

Out of the door, Gai Nie spotted Xiahou Yang's figure at a glance, and jumped on the roof to chase after him. Dozens of masters of the rivers and lakes suddenly besieged from all sides and stumbled Gai Nie.

"Lan'er—" Gai Nie finally managed to get back to his room after a vicious fight, and what caught his eye was a picture that made him feel terrified: Meng Lan was disheveled and fell in a pool of blood.

It turned out that Xiahou Yang had already premeditated, so that after the plan lured away Gai Nie, he took the opportunity to sneak into Meng Lan's room, charmed her with incense, and treated her with wanton contempt, and killed the last incense of the Meng family before leaving.

"Dad, what are you thinking?"

"Lan'er!" Gai Nie's thoughts were still stuck in the past, looking at his daughter's beautiful face, and his eyes were blinded for a while.

"Dad, what's wrong?" asked Gailan with concern.

It took a long time for Gai Nie to come back to his senses. frowned at first, and then said leisurely, "Lan'er, I don't want to hide this from you today. Ten years ago, your mother went to Jicheng with me, and she finally died tragically. 」

Gailan was shocked: "Didn't my mother die of illness?"

Gai Nie tearfully told his daughter about the past.

Gai Lan then understood why his father was reluctant to come to Jicheng, and he also understood better why he was looking for his enemy Xiahou Yang day and night, and wanted to cut him with a thousand knives all the time.

Gaylan couldn't help but cry when he thought of his mother's misfortune and the pain his father had carried.

"Lan'er will be stronger in the future, Daddy, don't be sad anymore. Gaylan quickly stopped crying. She knew she was her father's only comfort, and she couldn't bear to let him worry about his vulnerability.

"My good Lan'er!" said Ganie, comforted.

The father and daughter hugged each other speechlessly, and there was a family affection stronger than blood in their hearts.

The two were talking, and suddenly heard the sound of horses' hooves outside the door, and when they opened the door, they saw Tian Guang and a noble son visiting. Gai Nie welcomed the two into the house, and after Tian Guang carefully checked that no one was around, he carefully closed the doors and windows, and cautiously introduced to Gai Nie: "This is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of our country. 」

Gai Nie faintly felt that these two people must have a purpose when they came, so he asked Gai Lan to rest early and salute Prince Dan. Prince Dan smiled and said, "Mr. Gai doesn't need to be polite, Dan has heard of Mr. Mister's wonderful swordsmanship a long time ago, and today I was able to see Mr. Style, and I feel even more handsome. 」

Saying this, Prince Dan suddenly smiled, straightened up, and said, "Come to meet Mr. today, Dan really has a reluctant request," and then told Gai Nie about his plan.

When Gai Nie heard this, he said solemnly: "Gai Nie is a reckless person, I'm afraid he will miss the prince's plan, so let's ask the prince to invite another master!"

Prince Dan's face became more and more solemn, and he suddenly bowed to Gai Nie: "Today, the most superb swordsman is Mr. Gai. If Mr. is unwilling, then no one in the world can do this for Dan. In order to save the world from fire and water, please agree to Dan's request. Without waiting for Gai Nie to speak, Tian Guang also bowed: "Whether such a major event is successful or not, the whole department is in a thought!"

Gai Nie raised his eyebrows and said, "You two, please get up and talk about it. 」

Prince Dan's voice became excited: "For the sake of the people of the world and for the sake of Yan Kingdom, Jing Qing has been invited by Dan to go and prepare to assassinate King Yingzheng of Qin. The other country didn't understand the real purpose of Jing Qing's trip to the Qin State, thinking that my Yan State was afraid of forcing Qin and succumbed to him, so he was ready to intercept and kill on the road, so he needed to be escorted by Mr. all the way. 」

Gai Nie replied: "The Qin State is so strong now, and if you kill Yingzheng, there will be another Qin king, but it will only delay the time of annexing the world, so assassinating Yingzheng is not a strategy to trace back to the source. Doing so will only cost Jing Ke his life in vain!"

Prince Dan's voice suddenly became choked: "Yan State can't fight against Qin State, if Qin State attacks Yan State, the people of Yan State can only be slaughtered! Just like Dan did when Qin State was a hostage, he was at the mercy of King Qin! As long as Ying Zheng is killed, Qin State will definitely be leaderless, and Yan State will be saved! Dan implores Mr. to escort Jing Qing to Qin State for the sake of the people of Yan State!" Prince Dan almost fell on the ground and pleaded with Gai Nie, and so did Tian Guang. Gai Nie was embarrassed and speechless.

Prince Dan said, "If Mr. Today does not agree to Dan's request, Dan will have to kneel for a long time. 」

Gai Nie's heart was shocked, wasn't he forcing himself like this? But there was nothing he could do. He hurriedly helped the prince Dan up: "The prince is the body of ten thousand gold, how can this be made? It's just that Gai Nie's revenge has not been avenged, and I am afraid that I will not be able to do my best to help. 」

So, Gai Nie told Xiahou Yang and his old feud again, and Tian Guang immediately said: "I have also heard that Xiahou Yang is scheming in the rivers and lakes, and now there is a group of masked killers as a supplement, and there are even rumors that Xiahou Yang and others have already been bought by the King of Qin. 」

Prince Dan also said, "The enemies of the gentleman and the enemies of Dan are all cruel tigers and wolves. Mr. Gai's revenge, Dan should do his best. 」

Gai Nie was moved by this, and said, "Just wait for the revenge, Gai Nie will definitely help Jing Ke. 」

Gai Nie's father and daughter were stranded in Yan Kingdom, and more than a month has passed in the blink of an eye. Overnight, Yan Country was already a snowy and windy winter.

On this day, when Jing Ke was practicing swordsmanship outside, he suddenly heard a soft voice calling to him: "Brother Jing!" When he looked back, he saw Gai Lan wearing a snow-white cotton jacket, standing in the flying snow, holding a large basket tightly covered in his hand.

Jing Ke pointed to the basket and said with a smile, "The food you cook is fragrant, and I can smell it from afar. 」

Gai Lan smiled even sweeter: "As long as Brother Jing doesn't dislike it, Lan'er is willing to cook for you every day......" Before he finished speaking, Gai Lan couldn't help blushing. Jing Ke didn't seem to realize it, and still said, "If you can eat your cooking every day, then you are really a blessed person. 」

Gailan lowered his head and smiled silently, and silently walked into the house. After Jing Ke finished eating, Gailan packed up his things and was about to turn back. Jing Ke called her, "I'll send you." After speaking, Jing Ke picked up the big basket, walked in front and went out. Gailan was about to say something, but suddenly smiled again, and walked out with Jing Ke without a sound.

The two walked silently for a while, and a light snow fell in the air, and Jing Ke slowed down, letting Gailan walk side by side with him. Snowflakes fell on Gaelan's hair, and her black hair became darker and brighter. Gailan didn't seem to be aware of it, and walked straight forward, but Jing Ke had already seen it in his eyes, and after a long time, he finally couldn't help but reach out and brush away a snowflake that had just fallen on Gailan's hair.

Gailan seemed to be alarmed, looked at Jing Ke and asked, "Brother Jing, what's wrong?"

Jing Ke's hand was still resting in mid-air, and when he heard this, he hurriedly withdrew it and said to Gai Lan, "It's nothing. 」

"What is Lan'er thinking?" Gai Lan's apricot eyes looked at Jing Ke fixedly, stunned for a long time. Jing Ke reached out and probed in front of her eyes and asked.

Gailan was shocked by her gaffe and quickly turned her face away, showing her nervousness even more.

Gailan understood that her affection for Jing Ke had changed from her admiration at the beginning to after these days of getting along, and she couldn't help falling in love with him. Facing Gailan's Lan Xinhui, Jing Ke didn't know how to appease her for a while, and suddenly, she seemed to see Liji's shadow on her. He couldn't bear to look at it more, so he looked away and continued to walk: "It's cold, go back quickly!"

The two walked forward for a while, but the road was slippery in the snow, and Gailan was not paying attention and almost slipped. Jing Ke's eyes were quick, and he hurriedly reached out to support her. Gaylan felt that the arm holding his elbow was so strong and powerful, his face couldn't help but blush, and the "thank you" in his mouth was as light as a mosquito's chirp, almost disappearing into the sound of falling snow.

Jing Ke couldn't help but look up at the falling snow in the sky, and there seemed to be infinite melancholy in his heart. After standing for a long time, Gai Lan asked softly, "Brother Jing, what do you think of Lan'er's cooking?" Jing Ke replied nonchalantly, "Lan'er's craftsmanship is really good. 」

Gai Lan was secretly happy in his heart, and said softly, "Lan'er really wants to be able to cook for Brother Jing every day. 」

Jing Ke couldn't help but be stunned when she heard this, but Gai Lan continued: "Lan'er just needs to be by Brother Jing's side every day, I don't know ......" The girl's inherent reserve made it difficult for her to say something.

Today, Jing Ke's care and consideration for her finally gave her the courage to say what she had hidden in her heart. After Gailan finished these words in one breath, he looked at Jing Ke fixedly, waiting for his answer.

Looking at Gailan's clear eyes, Jing Ke was speechless for a while, and could only look at her all the way.

The two faced each other silently, the snow flakes gradually densed, and after a while, a thin layer of snow fell on the bodies of the two of them. Gai Lan's eyes became more determined, but Jing Ke slowly turned his gaze away. After a long time, he whispered to Gailan, "Lan'er would like to listen to Brother Jing's story?" Gailan nodded heavily, Jing Ke looked at her again, and finally decided to indulge himself in the memory imprisoned in his heart at this moment.

The twilight could not be seen on a snowy day, but when Gay saw Gailan, he saw a thick twilight in Gailan's eyes, a dim color that should not belong to the cardamom girl.

Gailan sat calmly on the edge of his father's bed, silent. Gai Nie leaned back on the bed, also quietly looking at Gai Lan.

After a long time, Gailan said softly: "Dad, I have always thought that your feelings for your mother are unmatched, for more than ten years, your mother is the person you love the most, and even Lan'er can't compare with your mother. Although you and your mother have been separated forever and can never see each other again, you will always miss her. Gailan sighed and continued, "Lan'er thought that a relationship like this must be unique. However, Daddy never expected that Brother Jing would be such a person. 」

Gai Nie's heart was shocked, and he couldn't help but ask, "Lan'er, do you have something to hide from your father?"

Gai Lan bit his lower lip lightly and said, "Lan'er likes Brother Jing very much, but Brother Jing can't like Lan'er, because Brother Jing Ke's heart has already gone with another person......

Gai Nie excitedly grabbed Gai Lan's hand and said, "Lan'er, you listen to your father, don't think about him anymore. Gai Nie knew very well that even if Jing Ke was interested in Lan'er, there would be absolutely no tomorrow for the two of them. After all, as early as the moment he decided to take over the task of assassinating Qin, Jing Ke had already entrusted the future to fate.

Gai Lan looked at his father, with a smile on the corner of his mouth, but tears fell one by one, and said softly: "Dad, Lan'er herself knows that she shouldn't think about him, but Lan'er only has him in her heart, Lan'er ......" said this, couldn't hold back any longer, and fell on Gai Nie's shoulder and sobbed.

Gai Nie patted her daughter on the shoulder and said slowly, "Lan'er, you will suffer after doing this. Do you know that Jing Ke is ......?"

Gai Lan slowly suppressed his tears, raised his head and smiled at his father, and said, "Lan'er knows, Lan'er has no regrets. The tone was light, but resolute.

Gai Nie was stunned, in his daughter's body, he seemed to see the long-lost soul.

Late that night, Tian Guang suddenly accompanied another person to Gai Nie's residence.

This man is short in stature, cloaked in a cloak, and his face is hidden in it, and his description is mysterious. When Gai Nie saw this person, his face immediately turned happy. The person who came lifted his cloak, revealing a thin face, smiled at Gai Nie, shook it deeply, and said loudly, "Senior brother, don't come here unharmed. 」

The person who came was Gai Nie's junior brother Wei Zhuang. At that moment, he expressed his intention: "I heard Mr. Tian say that my senior brother is also in Jicheng, and I came to visit my junior brother. 」

The two brothers had not seen each other for many years, and Gai Nie was extremely happy to see Wei Zhuang. Although Wei Zhuang had acted unrefusingly when he was studying in the same school in the past, Gai Nie's care for him did not decrease at all. He knew that Wei Zhuang was brilliant in wisdom and strong in martial arts, and he was indeed a rare talent, but he also clearly saw that he was arrogant, and he was worried that his stubborn and competitive nature would lead him astray, so that he often had many persuasions and strict requirements for him as a senior brother, and it was inevitable that there would be trivial friction between senior brothers. For a long time, Gai Nie has always treated his excellent junior brother with sincerity and high hopes, after all, the two are their own brothers, after a long time apart, no matter how much they are, they should have been light and light. Reunited after a long absence, meeting old acquaintances in a foreign country, of course, it is indispensable to drink and talk, the two drank happily, talked all night, and stayed sleepless.

The next day, Tian Guang introduced Wei Zhuang to Prince Dan. Prince Dan treated the guests with courtesy, and set up a banquet to entertain Wei Zhuang and Gai Nie and others.

During the banquet, Gai Nie suddenly said: "Previously, Gai Mou promised to escort Jing Ke to Qin State, but it was because he saw the prince's sincerity that Gai Mou couldn't refuse, and for this reason, I have been thinking about how to confess to the prince. 」

"What do you mean by Mr. Gai?" Prince Dan exclaimed.

Gai Nie continued: "I heard about Xiahou Yang's whereabouts just now, if I don't seize the opportunity to slash this thief, I don't know when I will have another chance in the future. Fortunately, my junior brother Wei Zhuang came to visit me, and this was really a great opportunity. The junior brother's swordsmanship is extremely high, and he is not under Gai, if he can help, then Jing Ke can go to Qin without worry, and implore the prince to accept Gai's suggestion!"

"This ......" Prince Dan was embarrassed.

When Prince Dan was in a dilemma, Jing Ke arrived. He recognized Wei Zhuang at a glance as the chivalrous warrior who rescued the baby and taught Zhu Ba a lesson in the market last time, and was immediately overjoyed.

Seeing that the two were familiar with each other, Prince Dan felt quite strange, and Jing Ke immediately brought Wei Zhuang's chivalrous deeds together, and everyone nodded again and again.

"Since Mr. Wei is so good, and Mr. Gai is really in trouble, and Dan can't force it anymore, there is Mr. Lao Wei. Only then did Prince Dan say with satisfaction.

In the following days, Jing Ke mingled with Wei Zhuang, Gao Yuanli, Dog Tu and others all day long, drinking wine and eating meat, hitting and singing, as if he looked down on the world.

In the corridor of the Qin Palace, Tianming and a boy flew by, the boy was also dressed in brocade clothes, at a young age, there was a faint sense of calm bearing in the eyebrows and eyes. Behind them, there was an even younger girl in the distance, with beautiful eyes and cherry lips, smart and cute, and she couldn't stop shouting: "Brother Tianming, Brother Fusu, wait for me!" Tianming and the boy named Fusu didn't seem to hear it, and their steps were not slow at all.

The little girl tripped over something at her feet and suddenly threw herself to the ground. A woman dressed as a palace man followed behind, who was already out of breath after chasing, saw the girl falling, hurriedly ran a few steps, stepped forward to help the girl, and there was an anxious look on her sweaty face. The girl's white forehead was already bleeding. When she saw this, she was so frightened that she was about to cry, and said in a trembling voice, "Oh, my princess, the soul of the nurse will be scared away by you!

Tianming and Fusu heard the girl's cry and hurried back. As soon as the girl saw the two of them, she cried even louder. "Brother Tianming, Brother Fusu, Yin'er is dying of pain! The stone is bad, the stone is bad!" she said with a sob, pointing to the bluestone slab on the ground.

Tianming and Fusu were very heartbroken when they saw the girl crying non-stop. Fusu stepped forward and gently blew on the wound on the girl's forehead, while saying, "Yin'er is good, my brother won't hurt if he blows." 」

Tianming said, "Yin'er, Brother Tianming avenges you, you watch!" After that, he squatted down, raised his small fist, and threw a punch at the stone that tripped the girl. Fusu and the nurse were shocked and let out an "ah". I saw that Tianming's little fist suddenly opened and was dripping with blood, but he just frowned and gasped, but he refused to cry.

The nurse burst into tears and exclaimed, "Princess, prince, you have taken Lian's life! Lian's life can't be saved!"

The girl was stunned by this scene, and immediately stopped crying, and when she saw Tianming's wound, she seemed to cry out again: "Brother Tianming, it must be very painful, right?" Tianming reluctantly pulled out a smile and said, "As soon as Yin'er cries, Brother Tianming will be very painful. Yin'er doesn't cry, okay, give Brother Tianming a smile!"

The girl nodded heavily, and quickly wiped the tears from her face with her little hands, forcing herself to smile.

At this moment, a sudden voice came from outside the garden: "The king has arrived!" The nurse immediately collapsed to the ground and trembled.

King Qin strode over, and when he saw that several children were already kneeling in the garden, he was very happy, and said, "Emperors, let's all be flat. When the three children got up, King Qin saw that Yin'er and Tianming were both injured, and he immediately frowned, "um", and turned his gaze to Lian who bowed his head and bowed.

Lian Shi shuddered, paused again and again, and cried: "Lian deserves to die, Lian deserves to die!"

King Qin showed a look of extreme disgust, and without thinking about it, he ordered the guards: "Pull her down and behead her!"

When Lian heard this, he fainted. Yin'er hurriedly knelt down beside her and shouted, "Nurse, wake up!" The guards got the order and stepped forward to drag Lian out.

Seeing this, Tianming hurriedly stepped forward to stop him, turned to King Qin again, and said, "Father, you stay. Erchen has a question. King Qin seemed interested, stopped, and said, "But it's okay to say. 」

Tianming said, "Erchen wants to ask his father, what is a 'benevolent person'?" King Qin replied, "A benevolent person loves people. Those who love others are benevolent. 」

Tianming said, "Then what does it mean to 'love others'?" King Qin replied, "To love one's relatives is to love one's relatives, to protect one's ministers, to bless the people, and to forgive one's sins. 」

Tianming said: "Then those who want to win the world, should they love the people of the world?"

King Qin laughed: "You ghost spirit, you go around in circles, you say this big trick, do you want your father to pardon the Lian family?" Tianming smiled embarrassedly. Then he nodded.

King Qin asked again, "Who told you these words?" Tianming said, "It was taught by Mr. Fu to his sons." 」

King Qin bowed his head and said, "Tianming, you have learned very well! Today, for the sake of your diligent cultivation, the widow will spare the Lian clan and not die!

Tianming and Yin'er were overjoyed, and hurriedly thanked King Qin on behalf of the Lian clan. King Qin didn't look at Lian, who was still fainting on the ground, and turned to leave.

At night, it was time for Fu Nian to teach Tianming's homework, and Tianming would tell Fu Nian in detail what happened during the day. Fu Nian stroked his long hair lightly and said with a slight smile: "Tianming, you have done a good job! As the prince of Great Qin, you should be like this, push yourself and others, and be generous-minded, so that you can win the hearts of the people, and then win the world!"

When Tianming heard Mr.'s praise, he was secretly happy in his heart, and immediately said, "Tianming remembers Mr.'s teachings!"

It's getting colder. A middle-aged man dressed plainly, with a well-groomed face and a bronze sword at his waist, stood on the street, he tightened his shirt and breathed hot air into his cold palms, feeling the only warmth left. It was really cold. I don't know why, the winter of the past few years has been a year old and cold over a year old, is it because of wandering?

A sign at a tavern at the corner of the street swayed in the wind. As if he was just looking for something more to do with "warmth", the man walked into the tavern. In the cold winter, for a person who has been adrift for many years, it is the most satisfying thing to find a tavern to have a few drinks to warm up. If it weren't for the sudden shrill screams outside the window, he could have gotten drunk, but there seemed to be another commotion in the streets.

The middle-aged man jumped out of the window, just in time to see a few ruffians pulling a beautiful young woman, wanton and frivolous, and said, "Save some effort. Later, when the masters and you are happy, ...... again" Before he could finish this sentence, he had already received a slap from a middle-aged man.

The middle-aged man was still calm and steady, but his shot at this time was as swift as a meteor piercing the sky. With one palm, he knocked the ruffian who was headed by him three feet away.

Seeing this, several ruffians let out a few beast-like roars from their mouths, and attacked the middle-aged man together, several of them still holding bright swords in their hands. After the middle-aged man only struck out two or three palms, their roars all turned into wails in unison, and then they all knelt on the ground and begged for mercy. The middle-aged man leaned over and reached out to help the young woman up, and one of the young women stood unsteadily and fell into his arms.

"Are you alright? Have you sprained your foot?" the middle-aged man thought the young woman was injured.

"I'm fine, thank you for saving me. The young woman smiled shyly and turned away.

This situation made the middle-aged man suddenly see a scene from many years ago.

That year, Liji, who was ten years old, was just an innocent little girl in his eyes, and he himself was a hot-blooded man who had just turned twenty years old.

"Oops!" He tried his best to teach Liji to practice his sword, but he didn't use his strength for a while, and almost injured her.

"What's wrong, did you hurt your foot?" he asked, lowering his sword and leaning over to ask in concern.

"Brother Han, you're so nice. Liki wants you to be my big brother forever!" Liki suddenly raised her head, but there was a serious and firm tone in her immature voice.

He paused for a moment, lowered his head and silently checked the injury for Liji, and said softly, "Slowly turn your ankle, and say the painful words, don't bear it." 」

"It doesn't hurt. Brother Han hasn't answered Liji's words yet?" Liji asked again.

He couldn't help but be amused by Liki's appearance, and it was rare to smile brightly. After thinking about it carefully, he asked, "Liji wants Brother Han to be your eldest brother forever, what about Jing Ke? What does Liji want him to be your person, can you tell Brother Han?"

"I...... I don't know...... He is Liggie's older brother...... Liki didn't want him to be what I was. Liki suddenly blushed and said shyly.

At the time, he didn't understand why he was asking such a question. "Is it just curiosity?" he asked himself.

It was as if it was getting colder. Han Shen looked up at the gloomy sky, turned around and walked into the tavern again.

"Do you know? Yan Kingdom is about to be captured by us! There are rumors in the palace that Prince Yan Dan was so frightened that he wanted to send an envoy named Jing Ke to Qin Kingdom, ready to present the map of Du Kang, as well as General Fan's head, kowtow to the king and beg for mercy......

Hearing the words of the soldiers in the tavern made Han Shen's heart burn with a raging fire.
