Yaohua

The posture is graceful, the bright eyes are good, but the autumn water is drained like weeping, and suddenly the spring breeze blows off the veil, icy muscles and bones, as clear as pear blossoms with rain.

Xia Jingyuan pursed her lips, everything became clear.

After the dance, King Gulan was very satisfied, and asked with a smile: "The little girl Xue Ji has recently learned to dance, and I would like to ask the Ninth Prince to give me some pointers. What do you think of the Ninth Prince?"

Xia Jingyuan smiled, naturally three points light and seven points proud, and murmured:

"Red sleeves add fragrance and relieve Er language,

Don't worry about asking the person in front of you.

If the moonlight is alluring,

But watching the fairy dance in the dangerous building.

Who doesn't know Jinle Tianyin?

See all the mortal sun round."

King Gulan didn't understand what he meant and couldn't speak for a moment.

The snow-clothed woman, Princess Gulan Xueji, said:

"Fengyue City, the red-sleeved Huizhi orchid heart in the small pavilion of drunken dust can be used as a flower for interpreting words, don't worry about an exquisite heart that meets the source; Jianghu, the righteous daughter of the martial arts leader Yue Tianxin is chivalrous; The songs of Jinlefang are also called "Shuangbi", while the owner of the pavilion, Wulou, and Tianyin, the owner of the workshop, are both beautiful and beautiful; each of them has its own merits. The day before yesterday, I was fortunate to have Master Tianyin and Master Wulou give advice, and today I am afraid that I will be out of class in front of the Ninth Prince."

Empress Riqi is Xia Jingyuan's biological mother.

Xia Jingyuan remembered that when she was a child, because of her frailty and sickness, she occupied her mother's arms and even on the bed many times. Every time she was so angry that her father blew her nose and stared, and her brothers were so jealous that they couldn't eat grapes and said that grapes were sour and pretended to be dismissive.As for the dancing and singing of the queen mother, I really have never seen it before. It is true that I am often instigated by a few unscrupulous brothers to go to Xianren Pavilion and Jinlefang to have fun together.

Listening to Princess Xueji's words now, everyone felt that the princess was being self-effacing, but Xia Jingyuan knew that this was not a lie.

King Gulan has long heard that the Ninth Prince has won the favor of the emperor. Because of his frailty and sickness, he has not opened the mansion yet, and the Ninth Concubine is still vacant.Originally, the thought of dedicating Xue Jijin to the emperor could not help but turn to the Ninth Prince. If Xue Ji can be favored by the Ninth Prince, it would be a good thing.

King Gulan was planning like this, especially when he saw that the Ninth Prince was obsessed with Xue Ji, he felt confident, and said:

"It's a long way from Gulan to the Huan Dynasty. My little girl happens to be proficient in the six arts. Why don't the Ninth Princes take it with me to relieve boredom?"

This time, Xia Jingyuan didn't even have to make false refusals, and said directly: "My Highness just needs a maid who serves tea and water, and Princess Xue Ji is suitable for her. Since King Gulan has such a heart , His Highness accepts it with a smile."

As soon as these words came out, King Gulan's smile froze on his face, which was somewhat ugly.The face of the queen next to her changed slightly, but she was not easy to attack, and forced a smile.

Xia Jingyuan left her seat, walked up to Princess Xueji, looked directly at her with those sad, autumnal eyes, and said coldly:

"My Highness takes pity on you, and I will spare you the ceremony of 'kneeling three times and knocking nine times' today. When I return to the Golden Tower in the future, I remember that when I see my master, I have to kneel and worship, and I can't get up without my master's permission; I can't look at my face or disobey my order; speak It goes without saying that you must be respectful and humble, do you understand?"

Before Xia Jingyuan finished speaking, Princess Xueji hurriedly dropped her pipa and knelt down, biting her red lips tightly and unable to say a word of apology at the critical moment.

This time, King Gulan and Queen's faces were ashen, and they couldn't bear it.The maids and eunuchs at the side had already knelt down in fright, all of them trembling badly.

Xia Jingyuan turned sideways slightly, curled her lips, smiled colder, and continued: "Although this prince is gentle and generous, he has a strange temper, and he just can't see it—a fool who thinks he is a character when he smiles a little bit. Things are opportunistic in front of me, dirtying the eyes of this prince."

King Gulan was so angry that he couldn't stand still. He pointed at Xia Jingyuan with a trembling finger, angrily:

"I think I, Gu Lan, greeted the prince from all over the country, took great pains to serve him, and even presented the jewel in his palm, Xue Ji, for fear that the reception would not be good. But Ninth Prince, you are not only not grateful, but also speak rudely. Is it possible that the son of the **** can be so arrogant and unreasonable?" ?"

Xia Jingyuan's cold eyes flickered, she closed the paper fan, and suddenly asked, "Is King Gulan pointing his finger at this prince?"

King Gulan was already in a state of exasperation, and before he could answer, he saw a thin layer of ice suddenly formed on his fingers, which instantly froze and covered his entire arm, and the cold air flowed through his limbs.The queen next to him was the first to notice that something was wrong with King Gulan, and quickly supported his unstable body, but she shrank back from the cold as soon as she touched King Gulan.Immediately afterwards, King Gulan spat out a mouthful of blood and ice scum, and staggered down under the eyes of everyone.

At this time, Xia Jingyuan squinted at the past, and said with a smile:

"King Gulan is not feeling well, this prince is inconvenient to disturb you, please leave!"

In view of the fact that Xia Jingyuan was in a good mood today, looking at the maids and eunuchs kneeling on the ground panicked all over the garden, she actually said a few more words: "The so-called life is nothing more than a person who knows the current affairs and is a hero. What should I do?" , What not to do, you have to weigh your own weight first."

Xue Ji hurriedly said: "It's the father who was presumptuous, His Highness Ninth Prince is generous and benevolent, please forgive me!"

"It's okay. On the contrary, it's Xue Ji. From now on, you will be my prince's maid, and you should follow the lead of your master. Remember not to let me hear your pleading for others." Xia Jingyuan held a folding fan, and Shi Shiran walked away. Going, her pale and sickly face was like a ray of thin ice under the sun that would disappear at any time, but the smile in her bright phoenix eyes couldn't reach her eyes, her red lips parted lightly, and she said, "Let's go".

Xue Ji picked up her pipa and followed, even though she was helpless, she was powerless.

Xia Jingyuan hurriedly left the palace and returned to the station.Xue Ji roughly guessed that the covenant at Panlong Ridge was just a cover, so she didn't dare to ask more questions along the way.

There seemed to be nothing wrong with the post station, but there was no sign of Qiu Fengyue everywhere. When Xia Jingyuan passed by Qiu Fengyue's room, she faintly heard soft weeping. She opened the door and went in, and saw the bedding on Qiu Fengyue's bed bulging.Xia Jingyuan lifted up the quilt, curled up inside Wuyou crying with a small face, looking really distressed.

"I can't find it anymore... Is it because I came back late last night and I became more and more angry... Don't want me anymore..."

Xia Jingyuan suddenly smiled and said, "Qiu Fengyue was injured last night, and he is still unconscious. Before he was unconscious, he was worried about you, so he specially asked me to take you to find him."

Wuyou immediately got up, grabbed Xia Jingyuan's clothes and hurriedly asked: "Yueyue is hurt... I don't even know I'm hurt, I'm looking for Yueyue! Please, take me to look for Yueyue!"

"Okay", Xia Jingyuan picked up Wuyou, smiled lightly like catkins flying, "I'll take you to find Yueyue".

Wuyou nestled in Xia Jingyuan's arms, the more happy she was, the less she didn't want herself, but the more she was hurt, thinking of this, Wuyou couldn't help making a small face: How could she be hurt?Yue Yue is so powerful, who else is more powerful than Yue Yue?Suddenly his eyes lit up and he exclaimed:

"Sister Xueji!!"

Xia Jingyuan asked casually, "Do you know each other?"

Wuyou, who didn't know the dangers of people's hearts, said first: "This is my sister Xueji, the most beautiful sister Xueji!"

Xue Ji was also shocked, why would Chai Longjin, the son of the former queen in the cold palace, be held in the arms of the Ninth Prince?Before thinking about it, a thought suddenly occurred to her, and she told Xia Jingyuan honestly: "This is my concubine's younger brother, Chai Longjin, and he should stay in the palace. Why did he appear at the post?"

Wuyou muttered in a low voice: "Yue Yue brought me here".

Xia Jingyuan suddenly felt that she didn't understand Qiu Fengyue at all. She didn't know when he abducted "Wang Brother Chai Longjin", and couldn't figure out his thoughts. He seemed to be such a rough and straightforward pirate leader.Having been close to each other for many days, it is really hard for Xia Jingyuan to imagine that Qiufeng is hiding more and more deeply and unfathomably.

"My Highness takes Wuyou out, you don't have to follow."

"Slaves respectfully send off their masters"

Xia Jingyuan glanced at her approvingly, then left with Wuyou in her arms.

When Xia Jingyuan was far away, Chai Xueji found a room at random and went in. The people in the inn more or less guessed her identity and did not dare to make things difficult.

Princess Xueji, who used to be noble, refined and unattainable, is now just a poor abandoned person.Xue Ji sat blankly in front of the window, Gu Pan Shenghui's beautiful eyes were full of tears, the pipa in her arms was as cold as the body temperature of the court musician that night, she took out the red silk in her skirt, and the image of Xia Lan in that year vaguely appeared in front of her eyes. The scene of vowing to each other under the lover's joy tree and never giving up.

Ruthless is the emperor's house, Xue Ji weeps, the tears drip down the red silk, and the red lips flow out: "Fanghua is still there, I don't see the people of the old days."

Sad and desolate, like weeping and complaining.

No.20 Eight rounds of killing

Xia Jingyuan had already noticed that there was something wrong with the pirates at the post station, and it was also strange that Zun and Luying hadn't shown up yet.Xia Jingyuan was vaguely uneasy, but guessed something in a daze, and couldn't help but reflect on her underestimation of the enemy and her mistakes.

He underestimated Qiu Fengyue and ignored Su Yin's move.

Su Yin is worthy of being a military advisor with Bandit Island, he can be said to be far-sighted, careful at every step, he calculated everything, not to mention General Qi, and made the best use of everything, even Qiu Fengyue, the head of the family, did not let go.

Xia Jingyuan seemed to coax Wuyou to find Qiu Fengyue, walked through several streets, turned into an alley, and finally entered the courtyard where General Qi was.Wuyou followed silently behind him, with his head down and his face wrinkled, not knowing whether he was worried about Qiu Fengyue's injury or afraid that Qiu Fengyue would not want him anymore.

Pushing open the gate of the yard, it was already noon, but the yard was very quiet.

Xia Jingyuan walked quickly and entered the room again, and saw that the room was in a mess, with several hidden guards lying on the ground.Xia Jingyuan searched for a few times, but did not find General Qi, but Zun and Luying arrived.

Zun and Luying knew that they had caused a catastrophe, and they knelt down to apologize as soon as they entered the door.

Xia Jingyuan cast a sidelong glance at them, but asked with a smile, "What's your crime?"

Zun knelt on the ground, cupped his fists and bowed his head: "Abandonment without authorization".

Xia Jingyuan suddenly realized, and asked again: "What happened last night?"

Luying didn't have her usual eccentric appearance, and she replied politely: "I am playing with that scholar, and I thought it would not be too late to come back when the time came, but for some reason, when I woke up this morning, I was tied to a tree. ".

The worry-free outside is extremely sensitive, I don't know if it is a child's innate keen intuition for the atmosphere, but worry-free sneaking around the threshold but not daring to go in, the look of cowardice is obvious.

Xia Jingyuan sneered, and suddenly changed the subject, facing Zun, and asked: "When you were choosing the hidden guard back then, you were not the one with the best skills, and your mind was also mediocre, but my highness still chose you to be my hidden guard. Do you know why?"

"Subordinates don't know"

Xia Jingyuan quickly took the words of Zun, and said slowly: "You are not outstanding, but in terms of loyalty, Xia Jingtong, the leader of the Great Dark Palace, has devoted himself to everything, so you will not give up."Xia Jingtong is the seventh son of the emperor, and secretly the leader of the Great Dark Palace. It can be said that he controls the world's intelligence and is familiar with world affairs. He is just an ordinary secret guard of the Great Dark Palace.

Back then, Zun was able to stand out from more than a hundred secret guards and was selected by the Ninth Prince as his personal secret guard. It is not that he did not doubt the Ninth Prince's intentions. Now that he suddenly learned the truth, Zun only felt the cold sweat on his back. Bo, there is shame, and the fear of not being able to understand the master's mind.

"I'm not a harsh and cold person, Zun, I hope you can take care of yourself." After finishing speaking, Xia Jingyuan stopped talking and beckoned Wuyou, and the two turned the mechanism and walked into the secret passage.

Zun and Luying followed and entered the secret passage.

The secret path was as dark and damp as ever, and Wuyou followed Xia Jingyuan closely. The child's little face was frightened pale by the unknown fear, but he resisted it.Suddenly, Wuyou trotted a few steps, stopped in front of Xia Jingyuan, and asked:

"Is Yueyue here?"

"Qiu Fengyue is not here," Xia Jingyuan went around, "But don't worry, he should be here soon."

The half-year-old Wuyou was ignorant, although he didn't know the twists and turns in this matter, he followed obediently, and his intuition told him: as long as you follow this person, you will be able to see Yue Yue.

The prison cell at the end of the secret passage has been destroyed, and the old man and others are nowhere to be found. Xia Jingyuan glanced at General Qi who was lying on the ground, and winked at Luying next to him. Luying hurried forward to check on General Qi's injuries .

"Return to the master, General Qi is only a skin trauma, there is no fear of life."

"Skin trauma?" Xia Jingyuan's face changed slightly, sullen, "Could it be possible that just a little skin trauma would make General Qi unconscious?"

Luying knelt down and said hurriedly: "There is the smell of ecstasy incense here. General Qi fell into a coma after being intoxicated by the ecstasy incense."

"Then let him wake up immediately!"

Fortunately, Luying carried all kinds of bottles and jars with her, and after detoxifying the medicinal properties of the ecstasy incense, General Qi woke up soon.The sober General Qi first looked around, Xia Jingyuan, Zun, Luying and a young boy disappeared, and after missing the old man and others, he roughly figured out the ins and outs, and immediately knelt down to apologize.

On the contrary, Xia Jingyuan was extremely calm, letting him kneel down, and just asked indifferently: "I know that General Qi is not mediocre and incompetent, why is he in such a mess?"

General Qi seemed to be in deep thought, carefully choosing his words, and his tone was slow but loud: "The guilty minister has neglected his duties, but please ask the Ninth Prince, the thief claimed to hold you hostage last night, and the criminal minister's subordinates couldn't find you. What's the reason?"

"..."

"Originally, each had their own division of labor and performed their own duties, but Zun and Luying have been missing for a long time, so that they were taken advantage of by the pirates. As their master, what should the Ninth Prince do?"

Zun and Luying knew that they had neglected their duties. Although they were dissatisfied with General Qi's aggressive and rude behavior, they had nothing to do.Luying saw her master's face was cloudy and uncertain, thinking that the master was about to get angry, she hurriedly pulled the bottle and knelt down, as if she was saying it specially to General Qi, with great sincerity and fear:

"It's the slaves who neglected their duties and ruined the master's major event. The slaves are allowed to be punished by the master, but the master is rich and noble, and has a high status. It has nothing to do with this matter. Even if it is, who would dare to criticize the master! Could it be that there are people who want to Is it okay to commit the following offenses?"

"The prince breaks the law and commits the same crime as the common people. Zun and Luying neglected their duties, the Ninth Prince disregarded his own safety and disturbed the overall situation, and the criminal officials also neglected their duties and failed the Ninth Prince's entrustment." Seeing General Qi's expression was sullen, his majesty should not be offended.

Luying hissed immediately, and swallowed the words of protecting the Lord that had rolled to his lips.

Xia Jingyuan wondered: "Then what General Yiqi said is to convict everyone present?" As everyone knows, the hands hidden under the sleeves are clenched into fists, and the knuckles crack slightly, under the restrained anger It was Qiu Fengyue's obsessed and intoxicated face last night, and it was the lingering love under the lover's joy tree this morning.

...And the current embarrassment of embarrassment is all caused by Qiu Fengyue, isn't it?

Xia Jingyuan's forbearance was six points arrogant, three points smiling, and one point cold. It was said that the emperor's heart was unpredictable, so why not this nobleman?

"There is a priority, so we must first catch the pirates from the Bandit Island." After saying that, General Qi suddenly raised his head, his gaze as sharp as a knife's edge was aimed at the Ninth Prince Xia Jingyuan.Xia Jingyuan didn't notice it for a while, but was shocked to take a step back, and the arrogance that penetrated into his bones made him also look back at General Qi, and he couldn't help but secretly despised his timidity just now, and heard General Qi continue: "The criminal minister doesn't know that the Ninth Prince How is the friendship with the pirate leader Qiu Fengyue, and I ask the Ninth Prince to respect his identity."

As soon as "Self-respect" came out, Xia Jingyuan's phoenix eyes flashed, and the unknown bitterness turned into ripples, and endless anger ignited like a raging fire, and when she spoke again, her voice was already cold: "Qiu Feng Yue and his party will definitely return to the bandit island, and General Qi will arrange troops to intercept them."

General Prayer, how dare you not obey

"However..." Xia Jingyuan paused for a long time, then her erratic eyes fell on Wuyou who was hiding behind her, and she suddenly sneered, "You said your Yue Yue would come to save you?"

Worry-free and innocent: "The more you will come to save me".

"Is it"

Xia Jingyuan was noncommittal, and touched the folding fan with almost transparent fingers like jade bamboo. The half-open folding fan covered her pale and haggard face, her bright eyes were smiling, and Wuyou could almost imagine what kind of spring breeze smile was hidden under the jade fan. .Even if Wuyou is stupid, he is vaguely aware of the danger now, his little face gradually turns pale, and his tightly pursed mouth is stretched into a slit.His bright pupils could see Xia Jingyuan, with hidden stubbornness, and said:

"The more you won't want me..."

On this day, General Qi was ordered to capture the pirates who were still in the station, and it turned out that they had lost their bags at some point, and the only ones left were ordinary people who had been paid and disguised. The real pirates had long since disappeared.After hearing General Qi's report, Xia Jingyuan had the thought of "it really is so", thinking that when she met Su Yin who was disguised in Wuling Villa, she should be wary of their trick.

"Where's Xue Ji?"

Xia Jingyuan suddenly asked this question, and as soon as she finished speaking, she saw a woman in snow clothes approaching gracefully, her face was as cold as frost, her beautiful eyes looked bright and tinged with a touch of sadness.

"It just so happens that you go to accompany your Wangdi Wuyou, he will inevitably be lonely as a child."

"Yes"

Xue Ji was led to the firewood room by a servant, but she didn't expect that although the firewood room was small, it had everything.Wuyou huddled in a corner, turning a blind eye to anyone who came, her big black and white eyes were moist, like a small abandoned animal.

The food on the table was obviously untouched, Xue Ji stepped forward, not knowing how to comfort him for a moment, she couldn't help sighing softly:

"The Ninth Prince's blatantly keeping you here is obviously a trap, and Qiu Fengyue should know it too. If he really came to save you, wouldn't he fall into the hands of the Ninth Prince?...Jin'er, coming here knowing it was a trap is tantamount to Seeking death, do you think the leader of the pirates, Qiu Fengyue, would risk his life for you?"

Wuyou's eye circles immediately turned red, but he still stubbornly insisted: "The more you will not want me..."

"Hey... If you really think about Qiu Fengyue, you should pray that he doesn't come. The Ninth Prince will not let him go. If you are ordered to come but not ordered to take you back, is this what you want?"

Xue Ji looked at Wuyou, the child had been miserable since he was a child, and he finally met someone who was kind to him, but he didn't want to be abandoned again, in fact... Qiu Fengyue must have worked hard.

Unexpectedly, Wuyou raised his head suddenly, and laughed silently. Under the dim candlelight, those bright eyes were like shining stars, and he said with a smile: "Sister Xueji, I'm hungry, why don't you eat with me?" OK?"

Xue Ji was flustered by his weird smiling face for no reason, but couldn't bear to refuse, so she agreed.

The moon is dark and the wind is high at night, killing people and setting fires.

Xia Jingyuan was idle and bored, and invited General Qi to play chess.Xia Jingyuan holds the white pieces, and prays for the general to hold the black pieces, but the general prays for the battlefield and uses soldiers like a god, but he is not good at chess. , has been powerless.

After such a few games of chess, General Qi also felt bored, and asked casually, "Has the prince and others arrived yet?"

"He will come." Xia Jingyuan looked satisfied, as if she knew it well, "Tonight is the only chance. If I miss it, Qiu Fengyue will have to give up Wuyou and protect his villagers."

"If he comes, there will be a fight. Kill? Or stay?"

The finger that was about to drop a child was affected by emotions, trembling imperceptibly, Xia Jingyuan, uncharacteristically, couldn't help showing a look of disappointment, and whispered: "As the world can see, I have been a nobleman since I was born. Everything is at your fingertips, so that when you were young, you didn't care about anything. Now that you finally have someone who is on top of your heart, please ask General Qi to be merciful to him."

If General Qi heard this in normal times, he would only think it was the Ninth Prince's teasing, but the serious appearance of the Ninth Prince in front of him made him laugh it off as a joke.

Xia Jingyuan simply put aside the chess game and smiled softly and distantly as usual, her voice was still cold and clear: "I can let Qiu Fengyue become a marquis and enjoy all the glory, as long as he asks. But he doesn't want anything, If you just blindly fight against me, don't blame me for being cruel."

General Qi couldn't help thinking of his elder brother Qi Yun, and after thinking for a moment, he slowly said: "Maybe it's not that Qiu Fengyue doesn't want to speak, but because he doesn't dare, and is afraid that once he speaks, he will have to bear the consequences that he can't afford."

Xia Jingyuan was slightly startled, as if lost in thought.

Who would have thought that such a small courtyard was Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon!

General Qi looked at the sky and said intuitively, "It's coming."

Xia Jingyuan then ordered someone to put away the chess game, went back to her room, and looked at the picture scroll again, no matter how many times she looked at it, she would not feel insane: Xiao Xuege, the ninth generation head of the Xiao family a hundred years ago, what kind of person was he?

The lingering love of last night is vaguely in front of my eyes, but today I will meet in battle, Qiu Fengyue, I can't guess...

At this moment, thick smoke rose from the backyard, which happened to be the firewood room where Wuyou was imprisoned. The gatekeeper was the first to notice, and was surprised that Princess Xueji was still in the firewood room.Zun, who was secretly patrolling the courtyard, arrived in time. The fire was not big, but the woodshed was dry and piled with firewood. Zun wanted to rush in to save people, but was stopped by the guards. He heard the man say:

"Master and General Qi didn't have any orders, so don't act rashly."

Zun was very anxious, "I'm afraid I won't be able to wait for the master's order", and rushed in after speaking.

Unexpectedly, suddenly a sword aura struck, Zun was caught off guard, and managed to dodge, but his clothes were still scratched on the shoulders.Looking at the people coming, he stopped immediately and saluted: "Pray for the general."

General Qi looked at the firewood room, remained indifferent, and only said: "This fire started strangely."

Xia Jingyuan also came after, also indifferent to the fire.

Zun also vaguely sensed what the master meant, although he was worried about the safety of the people inside, he didn't dare to act rashly.

The fire spread, and almost instantly engulfed the woodshed, the doors and windows fell down with crackling, and the scene inside could be discerned carefully: Xue Ji was lying motionless on the table, and Wuyou was sitting on the opposite side quietly looking at the people outside the woodshed, Silent laugh.Wuyou moved his mouth, as if he was talking about something.

Xia Jingyuan has been able to hear and see since she was a child. In the fire, she only heard the voice of the thin and thin child, which was calm and cold, and she was extremely calm: "I knew that Yue Yue would come to save me, but Yue Yue will come to save me, but Yue Yue will die, I can't bear Yue Yue , and I don’t want something to happen to Yue Yue, so let’s look at God’s will: If I burn to death before Yue Yue, Yue Yue will be safe; if Yue Yue saves me before Yue Yue, then I can be with Yue Yue Shi Sister Xueji, I'm afraid of being alone, you are the first person who won't bully me, it's so dark down here, can you accompany me..."

If it was possible, Xia Jingyuan really wished she hadn't heard these words, but since she heard them, even a child would not be able to die well.

Xia Jingyuan watched the fire engulf the woodshed, and suddenly smiled, her beautiful and handsome face was like burning peach blossoms swaying in the spring breeze, or like enchanting red lotuses surrounded by raging fire.

General Qi wanted to leave, but the matter has come to this point, the ambush is useless, suddenly he stopped and turned his head suddenly——

He saw a black shadow rushing into the firewood house quickly, with Wuyou and Xueji on his shoulders, breaking through the roof amidst the blazing flames, like a meteor streaking across the night.The ostentatious red dress, the golden silk lace with the sleeves, and his handsome and charming appearance seemed like a god descending from the earth, but the sinister eyes made him feel like a ghost crawling out of hell.

No.20 Nine times the third snow see

In the raging flames, Qiu Fengyue quickly jumped out of the firewood house with Wuyou in his arms and Xue Ji on his shoulders, the firewood house collapsed suddenly, and Qiu Fengyue turned pale with fright.Qiu Fengyue left the two of them behind, saw Wuyou sitting on the ground with a disheveled face, looking at herself stupidly, and said harshly:

"Damn it, who set it on fire? - I know I must kill him!"

Xia Jingyuan was guarded behind the nursing home, and sneered: "I've been waiting for a long time. Since you're here, you should be aware of 'you will never return'."

"You all came here in such a big way, Grandpa, why am I embarrassed not to come?" Qiu Fengyue shrugged, grabbed Wuyou, deliberately lowered her voice, and said to Wuyou: "I didn't want to come at first. You don't have a good life with me. You are hunted and run for your life all day long. Maybe you will die at some point. Although I think it's for your own good to leave you behind, but... after thinking about it, I'd like to ask you what you mean Better".

Worry-free grinned: "I just need to follow more and more, don't leave me behind."

"Oh, I knew it was like this", Qiu Fengyue was not surprised, she had already guessed it, but she was distressed again: "Actually, I am here alone tonight, I will try my best! If it doesn't work, we two brothers will fully explain Here it is!"

Wuyou's eyes widened immediately, as expected of Yue Yue, who went to the dragon's lake and tiger's lair alone, it was... so reckless!Yue Yue, even if you have no helper, at least you have to make a detailed plan!

Qiu Fengyue touched Wuyou's hairy head, then turned to General Qi and the others, but kept looking at Xia Jingyuan, and said with a rare seriousness: "Since ancient times, soldiers and bandits are not from the same family, so we should have ended it! Everyone said There are bandit island pirates who are vicious and murderous, and I will let you experience them tonight."Before the words were finished, a large poisonous net came down, Qiu Feng hurriedly kicked away the unconscious snow-clothed woman on the ground, picked up Wuyou, and cut open the poisonous net with a sharp kick like a knife, and took the opportunity to escape from the poisonous net. Get out of the opening.

Immediately afterwards, it was unclear who made the first move, and it seemed that they made the move at the same time.The guards here are all dead soldiers trained by the Great Dark Palace, and their skills are extraordinary. Zun didn't join the battle because he was protecting Xia Jingyuan, and Luying waited for the opportunity to move.

Qiu Fengyue used his bare hands at first, and after pushing Wuyou to a tall branch nearby, he was temporarily safe and barely dodged the bone whip of a dead man. The dense evil spirit rolled in the void, and wherever it went, there were stumps and broken arms.

General Qi, who wanted to watch from the sidelines, changed his expression slightly, surprised: "See you, Demon Sword Sanxue!"

Seeing the legendary demon sword Sanxue, General Qi has only heard of it but never seen it.Xuejian, also known as "Blood" Jian, as the name suggests: this knife will see blood when it comes out of the sheath, it is a mysterious demon knife that has always existed in market rumors and various unofficial histories.

Qiufeng's strikes were quick and ruthless, her saber skills were sharp and tricky, her figure was like a ghost, and she disappeared without a trace.He also held Xue Jian's double knives, blocked a dead man who was attacking Wuyou, gouged out his eyes with one knife, and stabbed his chest with the other knife to kill him, like a bloodthirsty Asura, let the blood under the knife bloom into bewitching flowers of the other side .At this moment, another invisible silver needle attacked, and the demon knife Xue Jian suddenly let go, the blade brushed against the silver needle and forcibly changed its direction, and the silver needle was shot into the branch next to Wuyou, and the branch immediately turned black and shrank into a dead wood.

Wuyou curled up tightly and used the leaves to cover herself, trying not to drag Qiu Fengyue down.

Qiu Fengyue, who has been obsessed with the battle situation and has to be wary of hidden weapons, thinks that it is more than enough to deal with these dead soldiers, but... suddenly, her pupils constrict, Qiu Feng has no time to dodge the attack in front, and throws her right hand Xue Jian knife through the attack Wuyou The body of the dead man hastily turned back and slapped him.Competing against General Qi's strong internal strength, it seems that they are no match, Qiufeng swallowed the sweetness that rushed up his throat stronger, and quickly chopped off with the knife in his left hand.In the blink of an eye, General Qi unleashed his move and hit Qiu Fengyue on the elbow. Qiu Fengyue's saber tilted and barely missed his shoulder.

When the two saw each other, it was just when they were inseparable, the dead man sneaked up on him, and Qiu Fengyue was stuck between General Qi and the dead man, unable to get away. In a trance, he saw Xia Jingyuan's indifferent and alienated expression, that defiant and superior posture seemed to be It is as if everything is under his control, so close to the world, intangible, unpredictable, and like an independent god overlooking all living beings, treating everything like a humble dog.

——The victory or defeat was only in an instant, and the dagger flew out of General Qi's sleeve, and the moment the dagger pierced in, several silver needles quickly sealed several large acupuncture points around Qiu Fengyue's body almost at the same time.

Luying is especially good at using hidden weapons, and she has always listened to only one person.

At the critical moment, Xia Jingyuan made a gesture, and General Qi and the dead soldiers immediately stopped their attacks, and the drug that Lu Ying was about to throw out was also taken back.

The atmosphere was oppressive, and the entire yard was silent for a while, and the faint smell of blood in the air seemed to stagnate, lingering and lingering.Seeing that Xia Jingyuan's expression was indifferent, but the gaze she was looking at Qiu Fengyue was rippling like a stone thrown into an ancient well, her vermilion lips were slightly parted, and her cold voice echoed in the night:

"Qiu Fengyue, submit to me, and live; those who disobey, don't blame me for not missing the old love."

Qiu Fengyue, who was suddenly severely injured, staggered, pulled out the dagger that was only an inch away from his heart, but curled his lips in the direction of Wuyou, and smiled like a ruffian:

"Don't cry, your family is still alive! People say that the disaster will last for a thousand years, I will be fine...I haven't rescued you yet, how could I die?..."

Wuyou hurriedly wiped his face, the tears pouring down on his already gray face was even more horrible, his red eyes were crooked with a smile, and he yelled loudly: "I will accompany Yueyue, Always".

Qiufeng smiled lowly, as if mocking herself: "If I knew I would have to go to such great lengths to save people, why did I leave this kid behind?——So I said that I can't live without doing my own crimes!" He raised his head, looked at Xia Jingyuan, and showed a smile of unknown meaning.

Xia Jingyuan said: "Don't force me", I don't know if it is because of illusion, there seems to be an angry growl in her voice.

Qiu Fengyue heard it as if he heard a joke, and couldn't help laughing up to the sky, saying: "It's just a scam. I used you to come to Gulan to find clues to the treasure, and you used me to find out the secrets of Bandit Island. What' "Old love" is really ridiculous. It's a pity that after a big circle, the treasure is actually related to the Bandit Island, hahaha... God thief, you are so fucking good at making fun of people... ".

"It's true that creation tricks people," Xia Jingyuan smiled wryly, "You think this is a scam, maybe you're right...it's really a scam."Obviously, the body temperature from the lingering time last night still remained in his arms, and his fingertips still remembered the hot touch when he brushed the skin, but... less than twelve hours later, why did they start fighting?Xia Jingyuan's expression became dazed.Zunben was guarding next to Xia Jingyuan, and when he saw his master showing an idiot, he immediately stood in front of Xia Jingyuan without a trace, blocking the sight of the surroundings, Xia Jingyuan suddenly woke up, his expression returned to normal, but he heard General Qi say :

"Qiu Fengyue's expression is wrong, he must be captured immediately!"

At this time, Qiu Fengyue's eyes were red, and he appeared to be insane, and he swayed as if he was drunk.Xia Jingyuan didn't know what he wanted to do, seeing that he was not walking towards her, but walking in the opposite direction, unknown fear suddenly tightened her chest, making Xia Jingyuan confused, so she didn't pay attention to General Qi's words for a moment.

Qiu Fengyue staggered and finally stopped in front of the corpse of a dead man, and pulled out the Xuejian knife from the corpse.Now although he is holding two knives, his acupoints are blocked by the sealed internal force, and it is useless to fight trapped beasts.

General Qi was keenly aware of the danger, and had an indescribable sense of crisis.

Seeing Qiu Fengyue pull out the Xuejian knife, there was a sudden shrill laugh, a horrified low laugh that made his skin tremble, he turned around slowly, facing Xia Jingyuan and the others, his distorted smile was weird and Ferocious to an unbelievable degree.He grinned, approached waddlingly, and asked with a sharp smile:

"Yaodao Sanxuejian, where do you think the third Xuejian sword is?"

Xia Jingyuan grimaced and snorted coldly, "I don't know, and I don't want to know."

Xia Jingyuan's uncertain expression seemed to please Qiu Fengyue. Qiu Fengyue tilted her head with a grinning grin, as if she didn't hear what he said, but pointed her two knives at her chest, forcefully, as if saying something on purpose. Listen to them generally: "Here it is!"

Xia Jingyuan's patience finally reached its limit, and she ordered: "Take Qiu Fengyue, life or death."

Before he finished speaking, Qiu Fengyue pierced his chest with the two Xuejian knives in his hands, and the blood soaked the red clothes, but it didn't spread, but was sucked up by the two Xuejian knives.When the dead man makes a move, the double knives are gradually blurred, and when they are about to be cut off at the waist, the blurred dual knives are condensed into one under the blood, and Qiu Fengyue suddenly pulls out the third Xuejian knife from his chest. As fast as a ghost, leaving only a phantom, the head was separated from the body in an instant, and all the dead fell to the ground.

The third demon sword, Xue Jian, has a slender blade, the same as before, but the neighing of "buzzing" can be faintly heard.

Qiu Fengyue grinned grimly, bowed his head to lick the blood on his palm, but his eyes were fixed on Xia Jingyuan, like a colorful poisonous snake coveting its prey, at this time Qiu Fengyue's left eye suddenly overflowed with blood, but he was like As if he didn't know the pain, he kept grinning grinningly, appearing insane, but his red eyes were very clear.
