outside the imperial city

"How do you want to help?" Chu Jingqing was very curious, what kind of method could make Yao Zanglan say the result so terrible?

"Don't worry about it, I need to get ready." Yao Fanglan stood up, "Just listen to me tomorrow."

"What?" Chu Jingqing muttered to Yao Fanglan's back, "Playing tricks."

But my heart couldn't stop looking forward to it.Over the years, Yao Fanglan has never disappointed anyone.Chu Jingqing glanced at the wine jar in her hand, and put the lid back on.

"If you don't succeed, you will be benevolent." The five jars of wine were placed well by the window, "If you fail, I will come to gather with you again."

The next day, Chu Jingqing woke up early, sat on the bed and waited for Yao Fanglan.Unexpectedly, the man didn't knock on the door until almost noon.

While putting on her boots, Chu Jingqing stumbled to open the door: "Here we come, we come."

Yao Fanglan did not answer.Chu Jingqing was surprised to find that not only was he wearing a sword today, but he was also wearing a navy blue gown.

The Yao family used to only wear white clothes, yet Yao Fanglan broke the precept for him!

"..." Seeing his excited appearance, Yao Fanglan rarely refused to comment, and said coldly, "Take your sword."

"Sword? What are you doing with the sword?" Although she was puzzled, Chu Jingqing went to the bed to get the sword and put it in her belt.

"where are we going?"

"You'll find out later."

"Why did you go so late?"

"You'll find out later."

"You, why are you serious?" Chu Jingqing realized that Yao Fanglan was too serious today.This is the seriousness that was only available when encountering serious affairs in the past, but this kind of seriousness has never been able to last for a long time.

This plan...is it so dangerous?TOEFL, he started to get nervous.

Yao Fanglan changed into white clothes, but the coldness of the Yao family finally appeared on her body.The two were silent all the way, and walked to the busiest street in Huatu City.

This is also the place where Yao Fanglan met Bei Qianhan for the first time.

Yao Fanglan stood still and said in a low voice: "Don't be nervous. You can just slash at me with all your strength later."

"What?" Chu Jingqing didn't quite understand.

Yao Fanglan still did not answer.He took a deep breath, drew his sword out of its sheath abruptly, and slashed at Chu Jingqing involuntarily.

murderous look!

Chu Jingqing couldn't react in time, and took several steps back. Although she barely escaped, her empty sleeve was hit and cut off in half.

Looking at the neat cuts on the sleeves, Chu Jingqing's forehead slid a trace of cold sweat: "Are you serious?"

"Master, hurry up! Go this way!" Jing Junxi ran to the front, beckoning to Jing Junshuo and Bei Qianhan, telling them to hurry up.

"Jun Xi, why are you in such a hurry?" Jing Shuo wondered.

Today, Bei Qianhan came to buy some supplies for going back to the city. I thought that Jing Junxi would not follow; I didn't expect that he not only came, but also showed such interest.

Bei Qianhan didn't know Jing Junxi's temperament very well, and explained to him: "After all, he is only a ten-year-old child."

Jing Lingshuo tilted his head in an indistinct manner, is that so?

"I thought your sword skills were poor, but I didn't expect you really have two brushes." Chu Jingqing jumped up, and Yao Fanglan's sword plunged straight into the ground where he was standing before.

Yao Zanglan drew out his sword expressionlessly: "A dog's eyes look down on people."

Being so stimulated by him, Chu Jingqing's fighting spirit also came up: "Although I don't know what happened to you all of a sudden, but it just so happens that I haven't fought with others for a long time. At your level, it's good to use it for practice."

He bit the blade of the sword with his teeth, held the saber in his mouth, propped himself on the ground with one arm, and skillfully swept the hall.

Yao Fanglan immediately bent his legs and jumped into the air.He couldn't adjust his posture in the air, but Chu Jingqing could move freely on the ground.

Seeing the right moment, Chu Jingqing raised her hand to chop his leg.Yao Fanglan was quick to wit, and pressed Chu Jingqing's shoulder with one hand, and with a little help, the whole person turned over and landed behind him.

Facing enemies from both sides, Chu Jingqing became a little impatient, and stepped back a few steps, opening the distance between the two of them.

"Hey, what is the fight for?"

Before they knew it, there were already a lot of onlookers around the two of them.Chu Jingqing has lived here for several months, and many of these people know him.With the strength of several subordinates arranged by Bei Qianling, he already exists like a messenger of justice in the hearts of Huatu city residents.

"If you don't beat me, you won't be able to avenge Huatu." Yao Zanglan raised his head so that everyone present could see his face clearly.

"Yao Fanglan!" Living up to expectations, someone in the crowd recognized him, and his words aroused public outrage.

Hey, it's not good.Chu Jingqing put down the sword in her hand and mouthed to Yao Fanglan, "Retreat first!"

Unexpectedly, Yao Fanglan not only had no intention of retreating, but added fuel and jealousy: "Young Master Chu, if you can't stop me, I will use this sword to kill those who surrounded me yesterday."

The anger of the crowd became even worse, and they shouted such words as "down with him" and "kill him".Chu Jingqing was struggling to advance and retreat, but Yao Fanglan raised his sword and attacked him mercilessly.

Jing Lingshuo's ears moved.

"There's something wrong in front," Jing Shuo said, "I'll go ahead and take a look first."

Before the words finished, Jing Lishuo had already rushed forward.

That was a speed that Chu Jingqing could never match, and Bei Qianhan was startled: "What's wrong?"

As soon as Jing Shuo left, Jing Junxi pushed her up to Juechen: "Ah, miss, why don't you hurry up and chase Master?"

Bei Qianhan got on the back of Juechen's horse in a daze: "What?"

"Don't ask, if you ask your sweetheart again, my master will kill you." Jing Junxi slapped Juechen's butt, "Juechen, but you are chasing after my master!"

One person and one horse disappeared before his eyes, Jing Junxi bit the four fingers of one hand.Under the extreme fear, Jing Junxi started talking again: "Master, if Master finds out that I have cheated, I will have to be buried with you. God, you have to help me get away with it!" , I don’t want to die so early.”

Chu Jingqing had no choice but to take Yao Fanglan's sword head-on.Although Yao Fanglan's arm strength is not strong, but after all, it is two arms to one arm, even if Chu Jingqing has more experience than Yao Fanglan, it will be more and more difficult.

Well, you made me.Chu Jingqing was really afraid that Yao Fanglan would kill him just like that, and thought, anyway, with so many strange things on you, I wouldn't be hacked to death.

"I'm going to get serious." Chu Jingqing warned him tentatively.

Yao Fanglan only answered hastily: "I can't ask for it."

Chu Jingqing held her breath, and the hand holding the sword began to dance with dizzying speed and posture.

The sword used by ranger Chu Jingqing is different from that of ordinary swordsmen.He used a soft sword, and with such a swing, the enemy would not be able to catch the blade.

While trying his best to dodge Yao Fanglan's fast but not very lethal attack, he waited for the opportunity to bring the blade closer to Yao Fanglan.I don't know if it was a fluke, but she could still hear the sound of the blade breaking through the wind. Yao Fanglan was always able to avoid it by an inch or two, and just retreated all the way to the edge of the onlookers.

I don't know who stuck out his foot and tripped him; I don't know whether he was intentional or not, Yao Zanglan fell to one side defenselessly, and Chu Jingqing stabbed him with his sword habitually.

Oops!Only then did he think that Yao Fanglan could no longer use the powder and pills after changing the white shirt?He suddenly wanted to withdraw the sword, but the arm strength of his non-dominant hand was insufficient after all, and the edge of the soft sword deviated at an angle, aiming at Yao Fanglan's heart.

Both of them were so stunned.

Chu Jingqing recalled what he said yesterday: "If I just die like this, or if I am torn apart by someone, you have to bury me well and burn paper money for me every year. It really is such a mess, my family's great cause of revenge , and hand it over to you.”

This guy...couldn't!

But the reality didn't let him imagine it.A pair of powerful arms caught Yao Zanglan, and immediately after, the snow-white sword came out of its sheath, and slashed straight at the soft sword blade that should have been invisible.

Although the strength was not great, it hit the vital point. Chu Jingqing felt a numbness in his arm, and when he regained consciousness, the soft sword had already flown to the side.

Jing Lishuo had never been so angry before, Ruifeng's eyes were faintly red, showing a bit of a terrifying demon charm.He probably didn't think about anything, and immediately swung his sword at Chu Jingqing after removing the soft sword.

"and many more!"

The two voices overlapped.Chu Jingqing smelled the fragrance that only belonged to girls.With a flick of Jing Lingshuo's sword tip, Wuhen was easily taken away from the original track.

Wuhen scratched across the right side of Bei Qianhan's face, shaved off a few strands of her hair, and left a shallow scar on her tender face.Bei Qianhan opened her arms to protect Chu Jingqing, just like he did for her back then.

The four faced each other two by two.The townspeople in Huatu didn't recognize Jing Shuo yet, so they made Chu Jingqing pick up the sword and defeat Yao Fanglan.

Jing Lishuo maintained the posture of holding the sword, lowered his head to look at Yao Zanglan in his arms: "How are you?"

Yao Zanglan raised her head tremblingly, showing a harmless smile: "It's all right. I swear to God I'm all right. My lord, please put down the sword. Let's withdraw first."

Jing Lingshuo instantly understood many things.

The angry red in his eyes didn't fade away, but he still put Wuhen back into the scabbard as he said.In the end, he hugged Yao Fanglan by the waist, took a deep look at Chu Jingqing and Bei Qianhan, and flew away.

Bei Qianhan breathed a sigh of relief, turned around, and asked Chu Jingqing, "Are you okay?"

She had just escaped a catastrophe, and she felt relieved, and she didn't remember to use honorifics anymore.

"You're bleeding." Chu Jingqing said, stretching out her hand to wipe the wound left by Jing Shuo, and Bei Qianhan's blood was stained on her fingers.He finally understood Yao Fanglan's intentions.

Okay, Yao Fanglan, you set up such a big game, you actually played with me.

Seeing how desperate he was, Chu Jingqing felt relieved.He put his finger in front of his lips and licked it, then looked up at Bei Qianhan.

When he raised his eyes like this, he saw something charming, Bei Qianhan's face immediately flushed red.

Chu Jingqing withdrew her gaze and said, "This time, you also saved my life, and we're settled. You don't have to feel guilty anymore."

"Cleared?" Bei Qianhan repeated.

"En." Chu Jingqing's voice was particularly cheerful, "It's clear."

They have already risked their lives—although they are passive—no matter what the result is, they have no regrets.

He turned around to leave, but Bei Qianhan still wanted to say something, so he grabbed the corner of his clothes.

Not expecting anything.No expectations, no disappointment.Chu Jingqing muttered silently and turned around.

"Well, since that's the case!" Bei Qianhan said loudly, as if to cheer herself up, "Then, then I want to stay by your side even more."

"What?" Chu Jingqing thought she didn't hear clearly.

At this time, it has come to this time, it is impossible not to talk about it.Bei Qianhan went all out, and simply said everything that came to her mind: "I always felt that I owed you a lot before, so I didn't dare to bother you too much. But now, since you have said everything, then we will pay it back, as before. That kind of relationship! I am a princess, you are my people, and I order you to stay by my side!"

"..."

"Why, don't you want to?" Bei Qianhan was ashamed and anxious, tears were about to fall.

"It's not that I don't want to." Chu Jingqing became angry and blushed, "So, you really like me?"

"That's all, I've said it so clearly, what else do I need?"

"Do you love me?"

Bei Qianhan knew that she was being molested, so she didn't dare to refuse, she covered her face and said "um".

"Then, are you willing to be my lover?"

"Ah?" Bei Qianhan put down her hands in a stuttering voice, "What did you say?"

"I said," Chu Jingqing said with a smile in her voice, "Are you willing to marry me?"

"Although I lost an arm, I still protect you from the wind and rain; although I don't have an extremely powerful official or a wealthy country, I can guarantee that you will have enough food and clothing for the rest of your life, even if I have to sleep on the street; I dare not make The promise of the third life and the third generation is here, and I swear in front of all the fathers and villagers, if you follow me, I will only love you for the rest of my life; as long as you don't agree, I will never take concubines for the rest of my life."

Clearly knowing that he may have said these love words to more than one person, the tears still flowed down like this.

"How? Will you marry me?"

"Yes." Bei Qianhan replied.

Then, as if she was afraid that he would go back on his word, she yelled loudly again, "I am willing!"
