Along the peach grove to the northwest, the peach trees are gradually replaced by deep and dense forests.
The wind roared loudly, and there were thousands of trees. A swordsman rushed through the long path opened in the forest and rushed into the depths of the forest.
Deep in the forest, a clear lake suddenly opened up, and a clear lake spread out like a picture scroll. The swordsman stepped on the long, narrow and straight stone bridge on the lake and ran to the center of the lake. In the night, the shadow of a huge building loomed in the middle of the lake.
, like a sleeping beast that wakes up at any time.
When they reached the other side, the swordsman ran to the right: "My lord! My lord!"
"What's the noise about?" A deep middle-aged male voice sounded in the darkness.
Accompanied by a male voice, steady footsteps walked slowly and slowly from the depths of the deep side palace.
Recognizing this voice, the swordsman gasped and said, "Chief guard, that woman, that Ah Li from the Qiao family, she's here to kill her!"
"The killing is coming, what do you mean?" The middle-aged man's voice was calm and deep, "Are you leading her army? But I don't see any boats on the river, and there is something strange in Tao'anling."
"She came out of the tunnel with just one whip!"
"Is it true? Could it be that something happened to the Jin brothers?" The long guard stepped forward with his hands behind his hands, stopped in front of the wide platform stone railing, and looked to the southeast.
He has a very tall and burly figure. In the fierce river wind, he is dressed in black clothes and disappears into the cold wind and night, like a ghost.
After a while of silence, the long guard said calmly: "It's dawn."
A secret guard walked out of the darkness and said respectfully: "Long guard!"
"Let all archers prepare, I will pierce this woman's heart with thousands of arrows."
The secret guard looked up at him: "Chief guard, do you need to ask Mr. Nangong for instructions?"
"No need, my lord has delegated all the power to protect this place to me."
"yes!"
The secret guard turned and left.
The swordsman watched the secret guard go away, thought for a while, and said: "Chief guard, the woman is injured and there is blood on her arm. Maybe we can capture her alive."
The long guard did not look at him. He kept looking at the other side and said calmly: "No need."
He had already heard of that girl's reputation. Facing such a powerful enemy, he could only get rid of her immediately. She would be in danger for even a moment longer.
·
More and more swordsmen arrived, and in addition to the three swordsmen who first confronted Xia Zhaoyi, more than ten more swordsmen came out.
Everyone raised their swords and looked at the whip-wielding girl standing in the peach forest, not daring to relax at all.
There had just been a fierce fight, and there was only a little blood on the girl's skirt. Her hair was a little messy. I don't know if it was caused by the fight or the river wind.
Behind her, the corpses were scattered all over the peach petals. The blood spattered and bloomed, which was in sharp contrast to her cold and peaceful temperament. It had a terrible visual impact and a strong and deadly enchantment.
Xia Zhaoyi looked at the new arrivals with a faint cold smile in her bright eyes.
After looking at them one by one, she looked back at the original three swordsmen and walked forward slowly: "He is much more 'polite' than you. When you attacked me, you didn't say anything and didn't allow for discussion. Look, this is the result of being ignorant.
"
As soon as she took a step forward, the swordsmen immediately stepped back, all on guard, staring at her.
Seeing them like this, Xia Zhaoyi blinked his bright eyes, and suddenly curved his lips and smiled: "That's fine. If you don't want to take me to see your leader, then you can stay and listen to what I have to say."
None of the swordsmen said anything, their eyes all locked on her, their hatred filled with disgust and deep contempt.
"If you want to delay, just delay," Xia Zhaoyi put his hands behind his back, raised his chin, and said savagely, "If you insist on stopping me here, when my people arrive, you will have to take the blame.
.Why not be smarter and take me alone to find your leader, or are you afraid that I won’t be able to do anything?”
She mentioned the word "lifting the sky", but the three swordsmen really believed that she could really do it if she wanted to.
"That's strange." Xia Zhaoyi stepped forward again, this time without stopping, walking slowly.
The crowd retreated and gradually surrounded her, trapping her in the middle.
"I have lived for such a long time, and I have rarely seen eighteen generations of people who look exactly the same. The Jin family brothers opened my eyes. You look different from them. Regardless of your body shape or appearance, you are not the same as the Jin family.
Brothers are completely different. Looking at your swords and moves, your surname should be Fang." The girl said as she walked.
The men said nothing and stared at her closely, still with the same expression as before.
"Speaking of the surname Fang, when I went south to Ruan's house, I saw a funeral. The person buried seemed to be named... Fang Ji, right?"
Xia Zhaoyi smiled lightly: "He was just a man who deserved to die, but you want so many poor people who just want to have a meal to bury him with him. These poor people traveled across the mountains and ridges to escort the coffin sent by Fang to such a distant mountain.
, what you get in exchange is your silence."
"However," Xia Zhaoyi's smile became brighter, "The way of heaven is about retribution, and I am your retribution."
"Witch, you deserve to die!" A man suddenly cursed.
"Okay, I'll stand here and you come and kill me, come on." Xia Zhaoyi said to him.
Compared to the girl's slightly sly clear voice, the sword in the man's hand trembled and made a buzzing sound due to the owner's anger.
Xia Zhaoyi smiled: "It seems that you are really from the Fang family. I didn't see you on the mountain that day. You were not with the funeral group. This is strange. Fang Ji seems to have a high status in the Fang family.
, why wasn’t all the Fang family members present when he was buried? It’s not that the mountains are far away, but the mountains and rivers are vast, but we are all in the same place.”
"I thought about it, there are countless reasons, but the most likely reason is that you have more important people and things that need you to stay. If you guessed correctly, they should be in front. Could it be that it is the one you shouted
He's 'the lord', and he's a man who has lived for hundreds of years, right?"
The men's expressions changed instantly, and their eyes on her became more severe.
Xia Zhaoyi's eyebrows were still cheerful and smiling, but her heart became cold and surprised.
These people said nothing, but their expressions confirmed her guess.
"Do you know Hou Rui?" Xia Zhaoyi asked again.
The men's expressions also gave her the answer.
"So," Xia Zhaoyi's eyes narrowed, "did you cut a man's body into pieces and seriously injured his companions a few days ago?"
The moonlight became brighter and brighter. Xia Zhaoyi looked at the disdain and ridicule on their faces and smiled slightly: "It seems that it is really you."
The man who was one of the three swordsmen shouted: "Witch, you killed dozens of us, how can we settle the score?!"
"Then let's figure it out," Xia Zhaoyi said, shaking Qian Sibi, "but I have one more question to ask."
When she shook like this, everyone immediately mobilized their whole bodies to be on guard and looked at her warily.
"Who is the man whose hands and feet are chained in the underground hall?" Xia Zhaoyi asked.
The impatience and irritability on the men's faces increased.
Xia Zhaoyi looked at them and smiled lightly: "Well, it seems that at least they are not from the Qiao family."
