Chapter 7: Encounter
The sun was empty, and the smell of blood still lingered in front of the wine pool.
Yuwen Xia stood silent in front of the door, and he saw the corpse of Emperor Yue Ming, which was a remnant.
Those Xuanjia guards half-knelt in front of him, depicting the scene of Emperor Yue Ming being killed.
But Yu Wenxia still couldn't imagine it, he really couldn't think of any swordsmanship that could peel off the flesh and blood of people's limbs layer by layer, and he had never heard of this kind of swordsmanship.
The bones looked as clean as if they had been looted by the wind.
Flesh and blood were indeed plundered by the wind, sword wind.
He only knew one thing now, the person who killed Emperor Yue Ming must be a person who had a deep hatred for Emperor Yue Ming.
But that person was the person he was looking for.
Yuwen Xia didn't care about Emperor Yue Ming's death. He is a dispensable character, and it is not bad to die, and there is a lot less trouble on the way back. Let General Zhenbei occupy the Yue Kingdom, so that he can free up time to concentrate on finding the fifth small building.
It's just that things have developed to this point, but it's not as simple as he thought when he came.
The few people in front of him were still dancing and depicting the situation just now, Yuwen Xia suddenly waved his hand and said, "Okay, have you seen where she is going?"
The ten people pointed to a side hall on their sides at the same time, and said in unison: "Over there!"
Yu Wenxia looked at the side hall and said, "General Liao should be entering the city now, you guys should bring his corpse over." ”
The Great Zhou Emperor only said that he would bring Emperor Yue Ming to the Northern Capital, and did not ask whether he was dead or alive. This means that he can be both dead and alive.
Everyone knelt on the ground again and shouted in unison, "Yes!"
Yu Wenxia nodded, his figure had already flown into the air, and suddenly turned around and swept over the wine pool, and soon disappeared in front of everyone.
Aggie is gone, and so is the fifth small building.
She didn't want to stay here at all, and there was no reason to stay here at all.
Night is approaching.
The city is bustling with lights. Outside the city, it was miserable and miserable, and the cold wind was like a knife.
The maple leaves have long since withered, leaving only loneliness and cold in the maple forest. But in this lonely and cold place, there is a person standing in it.
The fifth small building looked at the stone tablet in front of him, stared at it for a long time, and looked at it very carefully.
There were seven names on the stele, but there were only six bodies under the stele.
She knew she was supposed to belong here. But she also knew that she really didn't belong here.
There are many people who take revenge and lose the purpose of living.
But the fifth small building will not, after the burden on her shoulders is removed, she will only live more freely.
After standing for a long time, the fifth Xiaolou suddenly let out a long breath, and immediately knelt down and kowtowed three times.
She didn't say a word the whole time, because she knew that dead people would not obey and would not reply.
Just then, she heard footsteps.
The sound of footsteps was very light, but it seemed so redundant in this silent maple forest.
She didn't get up in a hurry, but quietly touched the sword in her hand.
Almost as he grasped the sword, the footsteps stopped abruptly and stopped ten feet away.
Neither spoke.
The joy of the reunion seemed to make Yu Wenxia forget to speak for a while, he just stared blankly at the petite back of the fifth small building, as if he had returned to that night.
He seemed to feel at once the gentle touch that had been in his arms a few years ago, and the flame of passion burning in his chest.
The flames burned again, and even the breath became hot.
There was a breeze blowing. Heaven and earth immediately diffused the intent of slaughter.
He saw a cold light, it was the sword light of the fifth small building.
Yu Wenxia's pupils suddenly contracted, and he immediately pulled out a long knife to protect his chest. At this time, he realized the danger of survival, and fortunately it was not too late.
The long knife was protected around his body, but he didn't let the sword light find the slightest flaw.
The fifth Xiaolou frowned slightly, and Aji's sword stabbed straight into Yu Wenxia's chest.
This sword, not fast, not accurate, but very strong.
I heard a bang. This long knife made of refined steel has been broken in two.
Yuwen Xia was shocked, and before he could gasp, the short sword stabbed at his throat again.
This is really a very amazing change, and it is so fast that Yu Wenxia did not expect it.
Yu Wenxia didn't seem to have figured out how to deal with this change, he just stood there motionless.
The short sword is not long, and the fifth small building needs to stand very close to stab Yuwen Xia.
But when the sword of the fifth small building stabbed over, Yu Wenxia suddenly stared at the eyes of the fifth small building, and rushed towards the blade of the Aji sword.
The fifth small building met Yu Wenxia's gaze, which was a very complicated look, with expectation, pity, and joy, but there was no killing intent.
How can a person who has no intent to kill kill someone?
She was slightly stunned, and the short sword was half a minute slower.
That's less than a second. Yuwen Xia dodged the sword edge to the left, grabbed the hand holding the sword of the fifth Xiaolou with his left hand, twisted it back, the fifth Xiaolou was in pain, his hand was released, and Aji's sword fell weakly into the snow.
Although he was a little panicked, the other hand of the fifth Xiaolou had already clenched his fist and slashed at Yu Wenxia's face.
Her fists were very soft, and she didn't have the sharpness of swordsmanship at all, and she was caught by Yu Wenxia in mid-air.
At this time, Yu Wenxia had already grabbed both of her hands, regardless of the panicked eyes of the fifth Xiaolou, he dragged her again, pulled her into his arms, and then hugged her deadly.
The hug was so tight that it almost took her breath.
All her martial arts are only in one set of swordsmanship, and without a sword in her hand, she suddenly doesn't know how to resist, and she seems to have recognized the identity of the person in front of her.
Fifth Xiaolou's face immediately turned crimson, and the blood in his whole body seemed to have rushed to his head, and he said, "Let go of me!"
Yu Wenxia also felt that this seemed a little inappropriate, and he reluctantly let go of his hand.
Fifth Xiaolou immediately broke free from his arms and slid backwards more than six feet away, staring at Yu Wenxia angrily before he could stand firmly.
People who write poems well are generally Yashi, and Yashi's Su zhì is not too bad. It is precisely because of this that she is only selling her art and not her body, and she is rarely hugged in Yanyulou.
Seeing her blushing face, Yuwen Xia took out a piece of residual jade from her arms, and said with a smile: "Remember me?"
The remnant jade is very small, but the fifth small building can still see that there is a building word on it.
The fifth Xiaolou exhaled lightly and waited for the red glow to fade, and said, "Flying Eagle Zhuge Xia, of course I remember." ”
Before she finished saying this, she suddenly flew out of the ground, swept past Yu Wenxia and picked up the Aji sword in her hand, and said coldly: "You are here to arrest me?"
Most people only know that Zhuge Xia, the second ranked Flying Eagle on the Earth Character List, is a disciple adopted by the Divine Eagle, but few people know his true identity.
Yu Wenxia shook his head and said, "No." ”
The fifth Xiaolou put the sword back into the sheath, and said with a sneer in his tone, "Then what are you here for?"
Yu Wenxia suddenly became a little embarrassed, and said, "I know that you still hate me, hate why I didn't come in the first place." ”
The fifth small building said: "The past is in the past. ”
The fifth Xiaolou was too lazy to take care of him anymore, so he turned around and walked to the path outside the maple forest.
At the end of the day she had only drunk a pot of spirits, and now she was hungry and sleepy, and she just wanted to find a good place to eat and sleep for a day and a night.
Yu Wenxia didn't think much about it, and followed not far behind the fifth small building, and said, "Don't you want to know why I didn't come in the first place?"
The fifth Xiaolou walked faster, and immediately said, "I don't want to know." ”
Yu Wenxia ignored her refusal and said, "Actually, I was going to pick you up when my master slept that day, but who knew that someone from the Bloody Cloak Building would suddenly come to assassinate my master in the middle of the night." ”
The pace of the fifth Xiaolou slowed down inadvertently, she seemed to be listening, and she didn't seem to want Yu Wenxia to know.
Yu Wenxia laughed secretly and continued: "I couldn't help it at the time, I was taken away by the master before I went out, and I went out of Yuecheng that night. By the time I woke up, I was already out of the country. ”
Hearing this, the fifth small building had already stopped, and suddenly turned around and said, "Then you can still come when you go back." ”
Yu Wenxia smiled even happier in her heart, but she was very anxious: "I also wanted to come at the time!" But as soon as I went back, I was dragged by the master to Linhai County to investigate the case, and I didn't return to Beidu until this year, and I came to look for you as soon as I returned to Beidu." ”
His words are not false, but they are not all true, and the best lies are three points false and seven parts true, especially if he does not want to reveal his identity yet.
"Really?"
"Of course it's true!"
The fifth Xiaolou suddenly smiled at Yu Wenxia's serious expression, smiled very cunningly, squinted his crescent-like eyes, and asked in a greasy voice, "You are from Beidu, right?"
Yu Wenxia will never forget this expression, and it was also this expression when the fifth Xiaolou fooled him.
He was stunned for a moment and said, "It's me from Beidu." ”
The fifth Xiaolou smiled even more happily, even the corners of his mouth grinned, and said, "Are you going back to Beidu these days?"
Yu Wenxia nodded.
The fifth Xiaolou clapped his hands and said, "It just so happens that I also want to go to the Northern Capital." Let's go together, and it just so happens that you, an acquaintance, will lead the way. ”
Yu Wenxia still nodded, and a hint of foreboding surrounded his heart, making him involuntarily feel a chill.
The fifth Xiaolou patted him on the shoulder and said softly: "That's it, it's about the third watch." There is a bush of grass on the west side of the wall, and you lie down and wait for me. I'll come to you when I get back and bring my luggage, okay?"
Sure enough, Yuwen Xia smiled bitterly, and now he can only smile bitterly.
knew that the fifth Xiaolou was playing tricks on himself, but he still agreed, and the promise was very refreshing.
"I'm not sure which day I'm going to go these days, so I'm going to have to go every day. ”
"Okay, I'll definitely go. ”
