Chapter 35: An Inch of Lovesickness and an Inch of Gray
At the critical moment, someone hugged Xia Qingluan and ran to the roof to escape the search.
"Looking at your clothes, you should be from Poyue Pavilion. Why are they chasing you, Miss Hongxian?"
Xia Qingluan raised her head weakly. The clear-cut and flawless face in front of her eyes still had a signature smile, which was seven parts soft and three parts lazy.
I really don't know how to describe the current situation. She is being hunted by her own organization, and the person who saves her is the enemy who caused all the trouble.
Xi Shaoyuan.
"It has nothing to do with you." Xia Qingluan sat up with difficulty, and her face, which was not very rosy at first, was now devoid of any trace of blood.
"I hope it really has nothing to do with me." Xi Shaoyuan smiled bitterly, "For the same reason you refuse to kill me, I can't stand by and watch you being put in danger. Girl, just think of me as nosy."
Xia Qingluan is Xiao Bai's sister and the most important person in the life of her close friend. In order not to make Xiao Bai sad, Xia Qingluan also violated Poyue Pavilion's order and let her go.
You can't leave her alone.
"Where are you going, Miss Hongxian? I can't help you with anything else, but being a free coachman will do."
In normal times, Xia Qingluan would never accept help from others, but the current situation was special and he had to rush back to the cabinet as soon as possible to resolve the conflict, otherwise it would be difficult to prevent long-term changes.
"Poyue Pavilion, take me back."
This answer was obviously unexpected by Xi Shaoyuan. There was a trace of confusion hidden in his starry eyes, but he knew how to deal with the world and never asked more than one word about things that he shouldn't ask.
"Okay, I'll take you back to Poyue Pavilion."
Tianshi Hall specializes in collecting and organizing information and handling aftermath affairs. The hall leader Qiao Feixue has a photographic memory and knows everything about astronomy and geography. However, he has a straightforward and simple personality. Because he does not like complicated personnel affairs, the daily manpower transfer in the hall is very slow.
Leave it to the deputy hall leader Shen Yuqing.
Xia Qingluan's "escape" from the cabinet was a plan devised by Shen Yuqing, Lu Hanhai, and the three doctors after racking their brains. How could they seriously try to find her? That's why Shen Yuqing, who was ordered to search for Xia Qingluan, did not.
Lu Hanhai's men were working hard, but they were just hanging around Poyue Pavilion.
Shen Yuqing's original intention was just to get rid of those who hindered Wei Moyan's future. He had no idea that Xia Qingluan, who was forced to flee, was being hunted by a group of Lu Hanhai's henchmen, otherwise he would not have helped.
When a pair of figures riding a black horse appeared in the field of vision, no one thought that this was the person they were looking for. Lu Hanhai sent everyone into Lanling City to search, but no one was left to guard near Poyue Pavilion.
Qingluan's appearance made his whole body tense up, and the murderous aura that could not be concealed spread out.
"Hall Master Lu?" Shen Yuqing frowned, "Didn't you say you had made it clear to Hongxian that she was not allowed to return to the pavilion? Why did she appear again?"
Lu Hanhai looked unkind and held the long sword tightly in his hand: "Wen Chuanxia and Wu Ding Qiankun can break through my Taiwei Hall disciples to intercept the people who escorted Hongxian back. He is the only one in Lanling City. Hall Master Shen hasn't seen it yet.
Who is that person?"
The speeding black horse got a little closer as he spoke. Shen Yuqing looked from a distance and saw the man sitting behind Xia Qingluan, dressed in white clothes like clouds. Although his features could not be seen clearly, his natural temperament was indeed otherworldly and outstanding.
Shen Yuqing took a breath: "Xi Shaoyuan!"
With a low shout, Lu Hanhai had already jumped down from the second floor pavilion with his sword, and Shen Yuqing didn't even have time to ask him what the Taiwei Hall disciple's interception meant.
If Hongxian is allowed to see the pavilion master, his plan will be exposed. Lu Hanhai is determined to kill her quickly before the pavilion master notices her return. It is better than dying in the pavilion master's hands.
Riding a horse all the way from Lanling City, Xi Shaoyuan knew in his heart that there were no less than ten people chasing him, and all of them had higher martial arts skills than the ordinary Poyue Pavilion disciples. He didn't know who Hongxian had offended.
, to actually kill one of his own people like this.
When he could clearly see the red paint and green tiles of Poyue Pavilion, a figure as fast as lightning came towards him. Xi Shaoyuan subconsciously hugged the weak woman in front of him and jerked the reins of his horse, barely avoiding the dazzling sword light.
"Xi Shaoyuan, you are stupid enough to come here to die. I will accept your and Hongxian's lives without mercy!"
Sword shadows flashed across the sky. Lu Hanhai, who was once the most brave general under former alliance leader Wei Bugui, still had undiminished skills even in middle age, and his set of Wandering Dragon Sword Techniques were deadly and flawless.
As the prince's young master, Xi Shaoyuan is naturally very good at martial arts, but if he fights with Lu Hanhai, who was the top eight swordsman in the world in the past, he won't get much benefit. In addition, the main target of the opponent's attack is Xia Qingluan.
She didn't even have room to fight back, so she could only jump off the horse and stand in front of her to parry.
On the fifth floor of the attic, gloomy eyes were locked on the fight.
"Zixiu, you said everything was just a misunderstanding, and she would not betray me. But I believe my own eyes more, what about you?"
Zi Xiu was speechless.
Why did she run away? And why did she appear here with Xi Shaoyuan? Although she didn't believe that Hongxian would betray him, how to explain everything in front of her?
Seeing that Xi Shaoyuan was at a disadvantage under Lu Hanhai's attack, Zixiu finally couldn't hold it in any longer: "I'll bring her back."
Wei Moyan didn't stop him, he just turned around and silently picked up the purple-gold long bow hanging high in the pavilion. He drew the dragon string fully and pointed at two misty white streaks.
Regardless of fate or not, his Wei Moyan woman must not have the slightest connection with other men.
If you betray me, I will cut you off with my own hands.
After a moment, Jin-colored figure joined the chaotic fight.
Xi Shaoyuan secretly shouted that it was not good. It was already quite difficult to deal with Lu Hanhai. Plus, with the help of Zixiu, the number one killer of Poyue Pavilion, it seemed that the odds were against him.
However, to his surprise, Zixiu did not try his best to help Lu Hanhai. Instead, he mediated between the two parties, consciously or unconsciously protecting Hongxian behind him, and gradually led the four of them towards Poyue Pavilion.
direction closer.
"The Pavilion Master has an order to take Hongxian back for interrogation. Don't kill him rashly!"
Lu Hanhai's sea of swords remains the same, he just acts and doesn't listen.
Seeing that there were only a few steps left to reach Poyue Pavilion, if Hongxian was allowed to tell the truth, he would only have one fate, and that would be death.
The unpredictable moves became more and more fierce and cunning. Even Zixiu and Xi Shaoyuan were unable to neutralize all Lu Hanhai's attacks. Xia Qingluan was left with several wounds of varying depths.
"Fighting in the same room is too ruthless!" Xi Shaoyuan became angry, and the knife in his sleeve was cut off and he unsheathed it. He was so angry that the sword was sharp. The cold-shaking knife cut iron like mud, and even Lu Hanhai did not dare to take the blow forcefully.
, he quickly dodged aside when the snow blade was approaching.
However, the purple sleeves behind him blocked his sight. When he saw the black blade, he could no longer dodge, and the coldness penetrated deep into his flesh and blood.
"Master Zi Xiu!" Xia Qingluan lost her voice. She just wanted to make things clear to the person on the attic, but she didn't want Zi Xiu to get hurt.
The man on the pavilion shrank his eyes, dropped the bow and arrow in his hand and jumped down from the high attic. The black figure stepped lightly on the railing of the pavilion and landed on the ground in a blink of an eye.
