Lingyun Jianghu

The loquat forest was silent, and Qing Yu's heroine also went to Shennong Valley to live in seclusion, but she is no longer here.Things are things and people are not things. Back then, there were so many undercurrents hidden in the Jihuang Palace not far away.

Few people know about Ye Ming's past.Ling Yu doesn't believe that these are coincidences, so far, it seems that this person has played a big game.Who is it?He can turn his hand to cover clouds and his hands to rain, and hide in the dark to cover the sky with one hand.

In the distant sunset, you can faintly see the splendor of the Ji Palace, with red walls and yellow tiles, dazzling.Nalan Ling remembered that she was only 12 years old when the Four Nations met, and begged Nalan Qing to take her with her in order to see Ling Yu.

"Master, do you still remember that when I was in the Ji Palace, I pestered you and was despised by you?" Na Lanling thought it was funny when she thought of her childishness back then, but at that time, she regarded Ling Yu as heaven and longed to be closer to her.

Every time she sees her, she sinks in. No matter how she scolds herself, or even shows disgust, she is not intimidated.

"How can I not remember..." Ling Yu looked into the distance, her eyes gradually became rippling. Not only did she remember all about Nalan Ling, she also remembered that the meeting was the last peace talk before the war between the four countries.

She also remembered that it was the last time she and Liu Qianxun saw each other, and she had completely lost him since then.Too many people died in that turmoil. Her first secret agent, Chen Qing, died in the palace.Ye Ming attempted to assassinate, and watched the little princess die tragically.

All kinds are surrounded by blood and cruelty.She fought desperately, sacrificed so much, but wanted to guard the title of the country of Yu, so that the flag of the country of Yu could be planted on her own tower forever, instead of being ruled and deposed by other countries.

It is because of her lack of ability, because she does not know how to govern the country, so she can only use some despicable methods that the world sees to conquer, prevent, and struggle to the death.But in the end, everything is still empty.

Why do people have memories?Ling Yu doesn't want to think about the past, and doesn't want to be obsessed with her own right or wrong.What happens is what happens, and what is lost and passed away cannot be changed.

"Master, look over there." Nalan Ling pointed in another direction, and Ling Yu looked there, but there was nothing but clouds.

"Look at what?"

"Look at me and the clouds."

"Huh?" Ling Yu didn't know what she meant, Nalan Ling poked her head over, looked at her and said, "Master, no matter how much unhappiness you have in the past, it's all over. Maybe you will have regrets and remorse when you think about it occasionally, but the people are well." Isn’t it exactly what you are asking for? I think they have never forgotten everything that the eldest princess has paid for Yuguo. You have already unloaded the burden, and it is time to live a good life for yourself. Isn’t the cloud in the distance beautiful? Also, Is the apprentice not good-looking enough?"

Nalan Ling smiled like a flower, and her fair skin was slightly flushed, which was very cute.

Ling Yu smiled lightly, "You make sense." Why did Nalan Ling comfort her? This girl is really moody. It's easy.

Ying Hongye returned from fetching water, and several people started on their way again.The horseshoes clattered, rolled up the dust, and rushed to the horse, and finally arrived at the boundary of Shangzhou two days later.

The Quicksand School was originally a famous and decent school, known all over the world for its Quicksand swordsmanship.It's just that after the death of Ding Shiren, the head of the Self-Creation School, the Quicksand School gradually declined.The new head, Yuan Fei, is not good at learning skills, and his heart is not right. He always wants to take shortcuts to get something for nothing.Therefore, when he got the news that there was a treasure in Lingyun Mountain, he personally led a group of disciples forward, but was forced to retreat by Nalan Ling's plan.

In Ling Yu's eyes, these small sects are nothing more than ants, and they can be crushed to death with a little effort.She also didn't bother to do anything to these people, these people didn't even have the qualifications to die in her hands, yet someone even blamed her.

Shangzhou Peicheng

Mo Feng waited at the gate of the city to welcome Ling Yu and the others.Like Tianxuan, he travels outside all year round, collecting information for Lingyun Pavilion, and waiting for the opportunity to act.This time he and Tian Xuan received the news almost at the same time, and they arrived in Peicheng one after the other.

Ying Hongye did not see Tianxuan's figure, and asked, "Mo Feng, where is Tianxuan?"

"He went to the quicksand faction first, and asked me to wait here for the pavilion master and the head." Mo Feng's eyes stayed on Ye Ming for a moment, and seeing that she was a little dazed, he asked concerned: "Head, what's wrong with you?"

Mo Feng used to be Ye Ming's subordinate, and they often carried out missions together. During those years when they were lurking in Ji State, the two often went through life and death.For Ye Ming, Mo Feng has always hidden an unspeakable feeling.

"No problem." Ye Ming shook his head, "How about the quicksand faction?"

"Tian Xuan and I just arrived in the morning, and there is nothing unusual for now."

"Go and see first." Ling Yu gave an order, and several people rushed to the Quicksand faction.Most of the martial arts sects are located in the mountains or in the countryside, across the central street of Peicheng, the end of the street is sparsely populated, separated by a willow river, and you can cross the bridge to reach the gate of the mansion.

The lake surface of Liuhe River is as calm as a mirror, with slight ripples, and the surrounding breeze gradually rises.Originally, the sky was clear, but gradually darkened, and the clouds gathered.In front of the gate of the Quicksand School, stands a giant long sword engraved with the word "Quicksand".

There are no guarding disciples in front of the gate. According to the current scale of the Quicksand Sect, there are at least 40 disciples in the sect. How come there is not even a gatekeeper?

"No." Ling Yu smelled a bloody smell and rushed towards him.

"Something happened!" Nalan Ling noticed that blood was soaking under the red flag's wooden door.She jumped forward, followed by Ying Hongye. The two glanced at each other, fully prepared, and pushed the door together to enter.

Nalan Ling was startled, what kind of cruelty was in front of her eyes?There were broken arms and legs all over the place, and blood flowed like rivers, but there were no corpses to be seen.Long swords fell in disorder in every corner of the courtyard.Pavilions, rain pavilions, promenades, and gardens full of grass are all stained with blood.

"Is anyone there?" Nalan Ling called out tentatively, but no one answered.Ying Hongye and Mo Feng searched quickly, but found no survivors.

In the entire Quicksand faction, except for the stump in the front yard, there was no complete body.The wind and cloud gradually rose, and the whole mansion was lifeless, and the muffled thunder sounded like the murmur of wild beasts.

Ling Yu lowered his head to look at the broken part of the broken arm. The incision was neat, cutting bone and grinding flesh, showing the speed of the sword.The blood at the fracture had already coagulated, but the amount was very small.

"If the arm of a living person is cut off, the veins must be cut off and the blood will flow up and then solidify. But these wreckages are neat and the bones are tight, and they are cut off after death." Ling Yu stood up and told Ye Ming : "Count the number of people."

"Yes." Through the corresponding identification of the clothes on the arms, the left and right hands, and the legs, the approximate number of dead can be counted. If it happens to be similar to the quicksand faction, then it will be more ominous.

□□In the martial arts field, Na Lanling tried to find some other clues, but found a person lying beside the flower bed.She stepped forward quickly, and saw that the fainted man was wearing a half-face mask, and there was a sword wound on his shoulder bleeding profusely.

This man is...Tian Xuan

"Master, Tianxuan is here." Nalan Ling's shout startled Ling Yu, she rushed over after hearing the news, checked Tianxuan's wound and felt his pulse, but luckily he was still alive.

Mo Feng came trotting with his sword in his hand, and seeing Tianxuan unconscious, he couldn't help being surprised, "Tianxuan came here an hour earlier than me, and he suffered such a serious injury. It shouldn't be difficult to get out, it must have been plotted against."

"It's not suitable to stay here for a long time, we must leave immediately." Ling Yu had a premonition that this was another game in the middle of a game. Whether the Liusha faction was killed or taken away is still unknown.It was almost the same situation as Lihuo Village. It seemed that there had been a fierce fight, but it was full of mistakes and omissions.

"Pavilion Master, judging from the residual limbs, there are about 30 people, which is almost the same as the number of Quicksand Sect." Ye Ming's face was solemn, and he could only hear the noise outside the door as if someone was coming.

Sure enough, everything was properly arranged. As soon as they arrived, someone came to catch the turtle in the urn.Nalan Ling quietly jumped onto the tree and found out that it was someone from the government.

"Master, let's leave, it's the yamen servant."

Ling Yu took a glance, the sleeves fluttered up, and the door to the backyard slammed shut.Then she used her internal force to drive her palms, and blocked two boulders in front of the door, "You take Tian Xuan and go first."

"I'll stay with Master." Nalan Ling landed beside Ling Yu, never taking a step back.Mo Feng and Ying Hongye hung Tianxuan's arms, and as soon as they stepped to the roof, sharp arrows flew towards them.

With Ling Yu's palm facing up, those arrows seemed to be fixed in the sky, and after spinning, they fell to the ground.The bows and arrows of the officers and soldiers failed to keep them in their tracks. The magistrate sent heavy troops, and the yamen servants who knew martial arts directly climbed over the wall. They wanted to chase Ye Ming and the others, but were blocked by Ling Yu and Nalan Ling.

"Bold and cunning woman, how dare you obstruct the official's handling of the case!" The head arrester was very imposing, pointing at Ling Yu and yelling at Ling Yu, Nalan Ling flew up a palm and beat him until he vomited blood, "How dare you scold my master?"

"You!" The head catcher suffocated for no reason, he didn't even see when Nalan Ling rushed over, it was like a gust of wind slapped his face hard, he wanted to order someone to arrest the two, but Nalan Ling Grabbing the brocade belt around his waist, he lifted it up in the air, and slammed it hard against the wall.

This kind of person, even if she killed her, she would feel dirty.Peacock Whip hasn't been bloodthirsty for a long time, and if these officers and soldiers want to die, she will naturally accompany them.

The prefect of Shangzhou then led people to arrive, and the two were surrounded. He pointed at Ling Yu and shouted: "How dare you kill people in the border of Shangzhou, take it down!"

"Hmph!" Ling Yu sneered, as if a barrier had been formed around him, and there was a sharp wind and dust around him, making it hard for people to open their eyes.

"Ling'er, don't do anything, let's go."

Nalan Ling also wanted to start a killing spree, she never had compassion and tolerance for irrelevant people, she would kill anyone who tried to hurt Ling Yu.No matter whether it is an officer or a soldier in the martial arts, she will never be soft-hearted.

But the teacher's order cannot be violated. They let Ye Ming and others evacuate safely, so naturally they will not love to fight.The two of them were like the wind, and disappeared in an instant, leaving only the group of people looking at each other.Before leaving, Nalan Ling dropped a black token from his cuff.

Someone wanted to blame everything on Lingyun Pavilion, but she couldn't do what he wanted.With an evil smile, Nalan Ling took a deep look at the magistrate, and then obediently followed Ling Yu's pace, and left the place with a flying shadow.

In an abandoned temple three miles outside, Ye Ming woke up Tianxuan by pouring water on him. He seemed to be seriously injured, and he was saving his strength to wait for Ling Yu to arrive.

Ye Ming, Mo Feng, and Ying Hongye formed three guard formations in the east, west, and south to guard against emergencies. They are well-trained, and they have the method of retreating from all accidents.

After a while, Ling Yu and Nalan Ling arrived.Seeing that Tianxuan had woken up, Ling Yu asked, "What happened, please come quickly."

"This subordinate wanted to explore the mansion, but was plotted against by someone. When he wanted to escape, a cold sword was inserted into his body. The man's sword technique was too fast, and the subordinate didn't see anything clearly." The wound on Tianxuan's shoulder, It was indeed pierced from the back, and the opponent especially avoided the vital points, so as to give him a chance to survive.

Is it really that simple?Tianxuan's confession was of no use at all, just like Ying Hongye, it was useless to ask, it was all a surprise attack.This was the second time Nalan Ling saw Tian Xuan, and the first time she didn't see him clearly in a daze. Now that she looked closely, she found that the copper-colored mask on his right face was very scary.The festered skin extended to the bridge of the nose and between the eyebrows, and the gloomy look in the eyes was depressing.

For some reason, Nalan Ling always felt an inexplicable sense of discomfort when seeing Tian Xuan.
