Suifang

The willows are blowing on the moor, and the smoke is curling up on the clouds.

A group of people stepped into the quiet and far-reaching village facing the morning glow. The yellow-haired dog walked through the alley with a bone in its mouth. An old man with white hair and childlike face walked behind him, and cast a curious look at the plain carriage.

The coachman wearing a bamboo hat raised his whip and drove the horses forward slowly.Sitting next to him was a handsome young man with regular features and a dog's tail grass in his mouth.The young man seemed to notice the old man's gaze, and suddenly raised his head and grinned at him, with a naughty and ostentatious smile that was clever and cunning.

The old man also grinned, showing his uneven yellow teeth, and asked, "Where are you going, young man?"

"Old man, you are so talkative, how can you still live to such an old age?"

Xia Suijin pretended to be surprised, glanced at the quiet village again, and said:

"This village is quiet, are they all dead?"

"Pfft!—how do you talk, young man?!"

"Let's be honest."

He sniffled, as if he smelled a disgusting smell, and slapped it vigorously with his hands, saying: "The smell of blood is too strong. Let me ask you a question, so many people were burned to death in Qianfu Villa. Which family are you from?"

The old man stood with his hands behind his back and said, "Please trouble Prince Ren to go to the Palace of the King of Hell and ask."

The next moment, arrows flying all over the sky poured down like an impenetrable net.

However, the flying arrow hit the carriage and was bounced off with a "ding".The civilian guard drew his sword to fight, but Xia Suijin shouted:

"Withdraw! Withdraw!—Don't love to fight!"

Immediately, they drove away quickly while guarding the carriage, and countless men in black rushed out of the house, the swords in their hands were dripping with blood.He realizes that the whole village has been taken care of. Could it be that Wulin has issued a hunting order for him, and he will spare his life even if he massacres the village in ambush?

How could he get into such a big blood debt? !

Xia Suijin couldn't figure it out. At this moment, galloping flying horses rushed from all directions, and all the people dressed up in red, willow and green were women and Taoists, and there were even a few crying babies who were still in their infancy.

——This is to seek revenge!

His scalp went numb immediately, and he said, "Run! Don't hurt them!!"

Shang Junxue squinted at him, thinking he was going to make some sarcasm, but he turned his gaze away and didn't say anything.

Xia Suijin was troubled, thinking that with these unreasonable old and weak women and children staring at her, when will she be able to go to Snow Country?He knocked on the carriage, and then the curtain was lifted, revealing a pair of red rabbit-like eyes.

"What are you doing—" the queen asked with a choked voice.

He feels even more strange

Why did she cry all the way?Going to the snow country to raise a baby is not a parting of life and death, so it is worth being so sad?All of a sudden, a hint of uneasy thoughts flashed through his mind, and he was startled. Before he could react, Shang Junxue suddenly asked:

"Is Prince Ren still in a daze?"

Thoughts suddenly interrupted

He shook his head nah: "No, I was thinking..."

That thought ran so fast that I couldn't find it anymore.He had no choice but to pat his forehead, put back his messy thoughts, and said, "Sister-in-law, they are here for me, or... let's divide into two groups and meet at the border?"

The queen pouted and nodded reluctantly:

“Also good”

After driving for half an hour in this way, when they encountered a fork, the group split into two teams and left.

The white grass and red leaves on both sides of the place are ripe all over the mountains and plains.Not far from the flying bridge, the wild smoke is hazy and vast.

Xia Suijin galloped all the way with his horse, and suddenly turned the horse's head.

Shang Junxue frowned in confusion, and said, "What are you doing?"

He smiled leisurely and said: "I just remembered that those two gangs were not all looking for revenge from me, and one of them was to kill the emperor's wife."

"No!"

"Why, you don't want me to go back?"

Shang Junxue said expressionlessly: "The soldiers are divided into two groups, there is still a chance of survival."

"I don't want any thread," he urged the horse to speed up, and the voice came slowly from the wind:

"I want my sister-in-law to live"

Walking to the flying bridge, he cut it off with a sword, and the smoke and dust scattered among the chaotic rocks, and the splashing water soaked his whole body.

Shang Junxue handed over a handkerchief

Xia Suijin smiled and said, "Actually, you're not that annoying."

He wiped his face and said to himself:

"Xiao Qi doesn't like you, and we don't dare to get close to you. You should know how delicate Xiao Qi is, even the elder brother dare not provoke him."

Shang Junxue asked back: "Why do I want you to like me?"

Xia Suijin: "..."

The two of them hid themselves among the rocks. Not long after, a group of people stopped in front of the flying bridge. One of the old women said:

"The bridge is broken. They must have escaped by this way."

"But Xia Suijin is so cunning, could it be a trick?"

"There are two roads, let's chase them separately."

……

"Isn't Prince Ren going after him?"

Xia Suijin shook his head: "This group is nothing to be afraid of, He Changan and the others can handle it."

"Who is Lord Ren waiting for?"

He thought for a while, and said: "They have been chasing after them all the way, and they can't get rid of them no matter what, it seems that they have an expert to guide the way."

Before the words fell, the sound of horseshoes was faintly heard.

"I can't guess wrong, it's them!"

Xia Suijin's expression froze, and he saw a distant mountain riding a horse, and the young man on the horse was dressed in an elegant green shirt, with a smile on his face.

"—It turned out to be him?!"

In an instant, Fu Su's sword was unsheathed, and Sen Han's killing intent rolled out of his whole body.

He stared at the young man, and the Fusu sword in his hand clanked, but the next moment, he restrained his breath again, and retreated dejectedly.

Shang Junxue said: "Who is that person?"

He replied in a muffled voice, "Chai Longjin."

"You want to kill him?"

"Yes, I wish I could cut him to pieces."

The hatred of killing one's father is irreconcilable

At this time, the stream reflected Chai Longjin standing in front of the flying bridge. He looked around for a few times, then suddenly raised his hands and clapped his hands, laughing and saying:

"Lord Ren, come out to welcome the guests!"

Immediately afterwards, a large poisonous net of short knives descended from the sky, covering the gravel under the flying bridge.

At the same time, Xia Suijin threw a poisonous dart needle forward, and Shang Junxue landed in front of the flying bridge. A sharp kick cut through the poisonous net like a knife. Arrived in front of Chai Longjin.

Chai Longjin calmed down and said with a smile: "Lord Ren, your poisonous needle at Longquan Inn has caused me a lot of suffering. This time I will pay you back. Ah, no, I am stingy and hold grudges, so I will pay you back several times."

As he spoke, more than a dozen dead soldiers in black cloaks surrounded him, swords, lights and swords flew murderously, and the stones and rocks shattered wherever the bone whips touched.

Shocked expression appeared on Shang Junxue's face, and she said, "How could it be the Great Dark Palace?!"

Then he looked at Xia Suijin, his eyes were full of surprise.

Xia Suijin smiled wryly, and said: "I lost the Nine Dragons Order, which caused the Great Dark Palace to fall into the hands of thieves. Now I'm all to blame for this situation."

Shang Junxue gave an insignificant "hmm", then drew the scimitar at his waist, and said:

"I killed him"

Shang Junxue's strikes were fast and ruthless, her saber skills were sharp and tricky, her figure was like a ghost, and she disappeared without a trace.Holding two knives, he blocked the attacking dead man, gouged out his eyes with one knife, and pierced his chest with the other knife to kill him. Like a bloodthirsty Asura, the blood under the knife splashed out a bunch of blood flowers.

At this time, several invisible silver needles attacked and were about to sink into Shang Junxue's back. Xia Suijin hurriedly threw a flying needle to intercept it, brushed the silver needles and forcibly changed the direction, and the silver needles were able to shoot into a tree trunk beside her. On the ground, the branches immediately turned black and shrank into dead wood.

Shang Junxue was entangled in the battle situation, and Xia Suijin was on guard against a sneak attack with hidden weapons. When it was hard to tell, Chai Longjin flew out a dagger from his sleeve, and jumped in front of Xia Suijin.

Almost at the same time, several silver needles flew up Jun Xue's body.

He only had time to save Shang Junxue, but the next moment, the dagger sank into his chest, and was about to stab deeper, when he suddenly kicked Chai Longjin flying across the air.

...it hurts

Clutching his chest, he staggered against the tree trunk, his vision was dim and gray, and his breath was short of breath, as if drowning in water.He shook his head and saw that the blood overflowing from his fingers was completely black. He looked up and saw Shang Junxue was covered in blood in the chaos of the fight. He opened his lips and wanted to shout:

You go first and leave me alone.

But when he opened his mouth, blood gushed out of his throat, but he couldn't utter a single word.

Consciousness fades away

……

I don't know how long it has passed, and when I opened my eyes, there were red-leaf maple trees retreating rapidly on both sides.He lay on Shang Junxue's back, his throat was hot, and his voice was hoarse and weak:

"Where is this?"

"border"

Shang Junxue paused for a moment, and then said: "We will arrive at the Snow Country at dawn. When the Snow Country has a snow crossing, it can cure your poison."

"...how long have I been unconscious?"

"Three Days"

He leaned weakly on Shang Junxue's back, and asked, "Did you...recite me for three days without eating or drinking?"

Shang Junxue said: "You can't die."

"...I can't make the decision."

Thinking of the promise he made with his elder brother, he said: "When the queen's sister-in-law arrives in the Snow Country, I will return to Jinque City, take my life, and apologize. All the faults... are mine. If I die, the people will not complain so much. "

The anger in the entire martial arts world might subside

Shang Junxue said, "He never thought of killing you."

"……Who?"

He asked hesitantly, as if his mind was very confused, and even his expression became dull.

"Your elder brother, Xia Yuanjing, never thought of killing you."

Shang Junxue said earnestly and clearly: "If he had made up his mind to kill you early, Huanchao would not have fallen to...the point."

But he felt buzzing and hissing in his ears, and he couldn't hear anything clearly.He held his breath and calmed down for a while, but when he opened his eyes again he still felt dizzy, a crescent moon fell into his eyes, and he could only make out the blurred outline with difficulty.

"... Strange, what's wrong with me?"

The brain is getting more and more chaotic, and the eyelids are getting heavier and heavier.

he wants to sleep again

This time he had an illusory dream

In the dream, his father was sitting on the steps with him, the sweet-scented osmanthus fragrance was sweet and fragrant, he was holding a osmanthus cake with a bite in his hand, the eldest brother and third younger brother were watching the moon, Xiao Wu and Xiao Qi were still arguing endlessly, but Xiao Wu could not see him. Nine children.

He looked back suspiciously, and suddenly a fat-faced doll ran over, coquettishly: "Second Emperor, I want to eat mooncakes."

But he has no moon cakes, only sweet-scented osmanthus cakes with a bite.At this time, the eldest brother brought a crystal white jade plate, with a gentle and clear smile, and said:

"I have mooncakes here"

The mooncakes in that plate are broken

- "Brother?! -"

Xia Suijin woke up from a dream, and saw a Rakshasa stone statue with a green face and fangs.He was lying on the withered grass, and a layer of crushed herbs was applied to the wound on his chest. The green juice was mixed with dirty blood, and the smell was extremely unpleasant.

Through the gap in the door, Shang Junxue knelt on the ground, revealing her thin and white shoulders from the unbuttoned robe. At this time, the shoulders were stained with blood. He was holding a white silk, which was covered with herbs, and was struggling to bandage it.Maybe it was too painful, but the beautiful face was dripping with sweat.

Xia Suijin propped up her arms, barely stood up, leaned on the wall, carefully jumped over the window, and walked out.

It was dawn, and he wanted to sneak into the town and lead a horse back to Jinque City.He had a strange delusion, as if the eldest brother sent him to escort the emperor's wife back to Snow Country just as a cover.

Unexpectedly, before finding the village, a horse came in front of him.

The sound of horseshoes is getting closer, the night is fading, and the elegant young man in blue shirt gradually shows his face, showing a humble and kind smile, saying:

"Lord Ren, we meet again."
