The vast legend

Ye Xuanzong shook his head helplessly, but his handsome face seemed to have a faint red tendency. He lowered his head and took a sip of tea to cover it up, and then said: "But there is one thing, you must be very interested."

Yan Piaoling turned her eyes and asked lightly, "What's the matter?"

"There are rumors in the rivers and lakes that the blood jade has reappeared in the world. This jade is shaped like a phoenix, and there is a bright red in the jade, like blood flowing. It is both weird and mysterious." Ye Xuanzong put down the teacup lightly, and continued: "This blood jade, now It is the target of many people in Jianghu. Even the imperial court may secretly send many internal guards to search for it. It is said that if you get this jade, you can get a huge treasure, and there will be an extinct martial arts secret book. I don’t know who spread the news I am still investigating whether there is such a wonderful thing!"

"Based on your intelligence capabilities, I believe there will be good news soon. But at present, I still have one thing to do, if you find it, please let me know!" Yan Piaoling raised her eyebrows and smiled, stood up, and left quietly.

As the night deepened, the moonlight shone faintly, and the entire street was extremely silent.

There was a sudden gust of cold wind blowing against the light, and with a bang, the collision of the swords seemed to fall from the sky. The middle-aged man was wearing delicate soft armor, with an upright aura, and the knife in his hand held the opponent's sword firmly.

"Death struggle, can it make your death more comfortable?" The indifferent man grinned, showing a row of neat teeth, but in the darkness of night, he looked unusually sharp.

As soon as the sword edge turned, the man leaped in the air, and while the man retracted the knife, he exerted force on his wrist, and the long sword body spun around the man's arm quickly, and then it came out of his hand and flew towards the man in soft armor. past.

"Boundless Seven Swords?" The soft-armored man exclaimed in shock, his body flickered, and he barely avoided the past, but behind him came a more violent gust of wind, murderous, covering up the cold wind around him, as if feeling a trace of cold wind. A more piercing icy breath, puff... A splash of blood dotted the deep night sky, and the man fell to the ground with a plop!

The coldness was still spreading, but there was another person beside the man's body, "Mission completed!" The icy voice made one hear a bone-chilling icy coldness, just like his whole body, as cold and utterly impersonal.

"Thank you for coming, otherwise I don't know how long we will be entangled. Alright, go back and report." The long sword twirled in the man's hand and disappeared in a flash. The figures of the two gradually disappeared into the backlight. So sleep forever.

The next day, the main hall of the palace.

The air-conditioning was lingering all around, and several officials standing in the center of the hall did not dare to take a breath, while the subordinates of the prison officer all looked sad, Liu Xinquan was also standing in the middle of them, and his expression was full of disbelief. For the warden, it was a bolt from the blue!

"Have you heard! Let me investigate, and find the murderer at all costs! You dare to assassinate the chief prison officer, how courageous!" Jin Haotian was furious, a good confidant, just like that, he wanted to arrest When it comes to the murderer, he will be executed Ling Chi!

"But Your Majesty, Lord Ling's martial arts skills are the most powerful among the prison guards. He was killed, so who else can track down the murderer? Even if the murderer is found, it may be difficult to subdue him." Wei Ziqi glanced at the emperor. , full of fear in his heart, assassinating court officials, and he is still a first-class master, so in the whole world, who has such great ability.

"What I want is a murderer, do you understand!" Jin Haotian gave him a hard look, and then glanced in Liu Xinquan's direction, "Master Ling is dead, and the chief prison officer must be arrested. Liu Xinquan obeys the order, and I I order you to take over the position of the chief prison officer, take over all the powers of the prison secretary, and investigate the entire case, make sure to catch the culprit, and I will punish him severely!"

"Observe the decree!" Liu Xinquan cupped his hands to receive the decree, and then looked aside with a cold expression. The majestic man who hid his body under the black cloak, his power, his brilliance, and his glory even surpassed that of a single person The emperor above ten thousand people, however...

After the affairs of the palace were properly arranged, the head of the prison department was changed. Ling Aotian's former subordinates were very repulsed by the new immediate boss. Congratulations are definitely not congratulations. At this sad juncture, they even wanted to kill someone!

But killing was just a momentary impulse, they calmed down quickly, and then all fell into the action of hunting down the murderer. Master Ling is dead, and now they can only do their best to find out the murderer and avenge him!

For those people's indifferent attitude, Liu Xinquan was noncommittal, ashes to ashes, dust to dust, after all, she also spent a period of time as a prison officer, and also understood that these people were too sad to be like this, people's hearts are fleshy, she These things are not counted.

Just came back from the scene of the murder, Liu Xinquan was silent all the way, Dongfeng and Qin Feixue behind him looked at each other, they didn't understand. So, what's wrong with the third sister, after seeing Master Ling's body, she just kept silent. The complexion is not very good either, did she find something suspicious?

"Third sister, what's wrong with you? Did you find something?" Qin Feixue caught up with Liu Xinquan and walked side by side with her. Dongfeng also followed and looked at her questioningly. "Judging from the wounds, the murderer is a master swordsman. Notify the prison officer for me, and secretly search for the left-handed swordsman. At the same time, block the three gates of the city, go to the north gate, and secretly investigate passers-by. If suspicious, arrest at any time."

"Yes, Third Sister!" The two replied at the same time, and they were about to turn around to do it, "Wait a minute." Liu Xinquan stopped them, and then took out a piece of paper from his bosom, "On this one, the picture is of imperial court prisoners. You stick it in front of the city gate. If you find her, be sure to entangle her and notify me!"

"Don't worry, Third Sister." Dongfeng smiled, took the portrait over, and left with Qin Feixue.

Looking at the backs of them going away, Liu Xinquan darkened his expression, his hands had already been clenched into fists, and he turned to leave while controlling the faint rioting disordered breath in his body.

At dusk, the dim color filled half of the sky, reflecting the hard and dry land.

A simple tea shed, the woman in black glanced at the portrait on the city wall, curled her lips, took a sip of the tea in the cup, thought about it, paid the bill, got up and walked to an old man pushing the goods Beside him, he smiled softly and said, "Old man, do you need help?"

"Girl, you can't do this kind of work. You can't push this hundred-jin rice." The old man grinned at her, lifted the cart, and moved forward, although it was a bit slow. But it was not difficult to walk, and he said in his mouth: "Young lady has a good heart, I should do this kind of rough work by myself."

"How can this work! Old man, look at the large number of officers and soldiers at the gate of the city, I'm afraid you will have to check for a while. I believe I can really help you, but you have to do me a favor, it's definitely worth it." Yan Piaoling squinted and smiled , grasped it with her slender fingers, and a silver ingot appeared out of nowhere in her palm, "Just now you lost your silver, I picked it up for you, you have to put it away this time, don't lose it again."

The old man was surprised to see the woman's method of changing silver, and his heart skipped a beat. He took it silently, nodded and agreed, "In that case, the lady can order it as she pleases."

Yan Piaoling looked at the officers and soldiers who were strictly checking at the gate of the city, and smiled meaningfully.

Not far away, a man and a woman approached. Qin Feixue sighed, "I feel that the third sister seems to be in a low mood recently. She, who is always high-spirited, has become frowning. I am very worried about this." .”

"I think she has something on her mind." Dongfeng squinted his eyes, but his handsome face showed a trace of bitterness. The two walked side by side, raised their eyes, and looked at each other with a frown the next moment.

The officers and soldiers guarding the gate of the city are doing their duty and closely searching every passing merchant or people carrying goods. One of the chief-level men waved his hand, "Let's go, this one is fine, next one!"

"Master officers and soldiers, this cart is full of rice. My father plans to transport it outside the city and sell it to restaurants in other towns. You can check it out." A commoner girl grinned, revealing a mouthful of white teeth. It is well maintained, black and shiny, but why is this face so dirty?

When the officers and soldiers saw it, they immediately lost the desire to explore. They wanted to touch the soft hair just now, but when they looked at their faces, they instantly dispelled the idea. In such a bustling place like Kyoto, there can still be such a messy woman, it really pollutes the environment!

"Let's go, hurry up, the rice is fine!" An officer and soldier waved his hand after the inspection. The old man smiled apologetically and motioned for the woman to push the cart. The cart was full of rice, but the woman lifted it up easily. Pushing forward, the officers and soldiers were surprised, and then shouted: "Next!"
