The scorching sun in early summer is as red as fire. It can't wait for the arrival of midsummer. It can't wait to release its strong energy, baking the earth scorchingly. The sky is clear and cloudless. The pure blue sky is like a huge mirror, hanging high in the air.
, beautiful and clear.
Liusu wanted to go for a walk in the south of the Yangtze River. When she was in the Fang family, she often heard Jinxiu and Yunlie praising the beauty of the south of the Yangtze River. There were also many poems and articles describing the gentle beauty of the south of the Yangtze River in the Book of Songs and books. She was well-read and had a deep appreciation for the beauty and beauty of the south of the Yangtze River.
I have always longed for the magnificence of the desert. As the saying goes, the spring rains south of the river and the autumn wind blows across the north. In four short sentences, two completely different beautiful places can be seen. With her body, if she goes to the desert, she might meet the King of Hell halfway. If she goes to the south of the Yangtze River,
It's quite a good choice.
She had already thought about finding a place to live anonymously, and after the child was born, she and Zi Ling would open a restaurant together and live happily ever after.
The Fang family has been doing business for generations, and Fang Fugui is very rich, so he is naturally very good at doing business. Jinxiu has been training with Fang Fugui in the business field since she was a child. Liusu has been by her side, and she has learned a lot about the future.
On that day, the girl had a very detailed plan in mind.
After walking for a few days and passing six or seven towns, they were getting further and further away from the capital. Ruyu and Chuntao were worried that Liusu and Ziling, two weak women, were traveling alone. They acted as free bodyguards along the way and planned to send them to their destination.
After that, return to the Ghost Palace.
Besides, Ruyu and Liusu are very close to each other, and they didn't seem bored as companions along the way. The two girls seemed to have endless topics to talk about, and they could chat for a long time on any topic. Their personalities were completely different, but their perspectives and opinions on things were surprisingly similar.
.
Ruyu was afraid that Yunlie would find them along the way, so she used the power of the Ghost Palace to deliberately create an illusion to lure Yunlie to the northeast. If he couldn't find anyone anyway, he would come back, and Ruyu didn't care about his life or death.
.
Liusu's belly is less than two months old and there is nothing visible at all. The morning sickness is not very serious and she looks just like ordinary people. She has not had an asthma attack and everything went smoothly on the road. Although Ruyu was also in a hurry
Time, however, deliberately slowed down to take care of Liusu's body.
Under the shade of the tree, Liusu sat and rested against the trunk. Ruyu held a grass heart in her mouth and chatted with her. Taohong and Ziling went to find wild fruits to satisfy their hunger and thirst.
"Su Su, let's go to Fengcheng!" Ruyu suddenly sat next to her and said happily: "Fengcheng is the center of Jiangnan. It is very prosperous and has beautiful scenery. The Ximen family also has an old residence in Fengcheng, although it has been empty for a long time.
We are here, but it is also a very beautiful and exquisite villa. Where can you and Zi Ling stay first? It will be convenient when I want to visit you!"
Ruyu never said that she was from the Ghost Palace. After all, the Ghost Palace is a cult and an assassination organization in the eyes of the Jianghu people. From the palace master to the ordinary maids, they are all evildoers. Liusu is so clean that you can
Ruyu is reluctant to contaminate her people, and Ruyu doesn't want her to know too much of the dark side. After all, the lives of ordinary people are different from the lives of people like them.
"Fengcheng?" Liusu hesitated for a while, then agreed. If she wanted to start over, she had to wait until the child was born before making any plans. "What about you, do you also live in Fengcheng?"
Ruyu bit the grass heart nonchalantly, looking very rogue, lying facelessly on the grass, reaching out to cover the scattered sunlight, and said in a brisk voice, "I'm not far from Fengcheng."
Liusu didn't ask any questions, and the two of them just decided.
"Did Taohong and Ziling go back to the capital to buy wild fruits? Why haven't they come back for so long?" Ruyu straightened up, looked up at the sky, and pondered for a long time, "If you don't come back, you will have to sleep outdoors tonight.
It’s still half a day’s journey to the next town.”
Liusu smiled and said: "Where can I find wild fruits in the wilderness? You are so cunning and want to talk about Taohong."
"I'm thirsty!" Ruyu laughed, and then lay down boredly. Suddenly her complexion changed, and her wanton and romantic face became very serious. She lay down, pressed tightly to the ground, listened for a moment, and then stood up.
Pull up the tassel, put your feet down, and float up to the big tree, using the dense leaves to block their figures.
"What's wrong?" Liusu grabbed the branch and asked curiously. Ruyu turned around, made a silent gesture, and looked up at the trail. The sound of horse hooves came like thunder, raising a cloud of dust and momentum.
amazing.
Ruyu took a closer look, and the first ones to be hit were two men in black. They were all covered with colorful clothes. They were dressed in tight-fitting black clothes, covering the men's slender and tall figures. Their faces were covered with black scarves, so they couldn't see their faces clearly, but they could see clearly.
Two pairs of sharp, knife-like eyes shone like cold stars in the night. Both men had serious injuries on their arms, and the blood stained the horses underneath them, but they raised their whips and slapped the horses' buttocks hard. It seemed that they were
It's like avoiding the pursuit of enemies.
Only five meters behind them, another group of people followed closely, chasing after them. When Ruyu saw their attire, she narrowed her almond-shaped eyes and became cold and stern.
There were about a dozen people, all women wearing long white dresses with a black skull embroidered on the cuffs. They all covered their faces with white masks. They were separated by a thin layer of white gauze and could not be seen clearly by outsiders.
Their appearance. These women held swords in their hands and chased the two men in front of them aggressively, with murderous intent.
They quickly crossed the path, and the smell of blood drifted past. Ruyu narrowed her eyes and fell into thinking, the woman in the Ghost Palace?
No, these women are dressed up as ghost palaces, but they are not from the ghost palace. Who has the courage to pretend to be people from the ghost palace? Could it be that these are the rumors in the world that the ghost palace is provoking martial arts everywhere and causing a bloody storm?
Counterfeit?
"Miss, where are you?" Taohong and Ziling came back, but they were nowhere to be seen. They shouted in a panic. Ruyu responded and landed on the ground holding Liusu, "Taohong, what happened just now?"
Taohong looked at Liusu and Zi Ling and didn't intend to shy away. She looked a little uncomfortable and said, "Miss, Zi Ling and I just saw someone fighting over there. They were the two protectors of the Ice Moon Palace surrounded by the women from the Ghost Palace."
"The two great protectors, Xuanwu and Xuanbei?" Ruyu raised her eyebrows, recalling the sharp eyes of the two men just now, a little confused, "In the martial arts world, there are very few people who can hurt them. The way they looked just now is really...
…”
"The two guardians seemed to have been drugged beforehand!" Taohong reported the truth, her voice was very calm and worried, "Miss, it seems we have to rush to stop them. If something happens to the two guardians, Bingyue Palace will definitely blame the ghosts.
For the palace, this matter is no small matter."
Liusu and Zi Ling didn't know what they were talking about. Zi Ling wiped the picked wild fruits and handed them to Liusu to quench her thirst. The weather was really hot.
Liusu took it and took a bite. The fragrant taste overflowed between his lips and teeth. It was very delicious. The juice was sweet and rich.
Ruyu looked at Liusu and Ziling, hesitated for a moment, and shook her head, "Since Xuanwu Xuanbei was drugged, he will be hunted. As long as he enters the town, there will naturally be people from Bingyue Palace to help him. He will not die. Your lady
I'm used to being lazy and don't want to meddle in other people's business. If I'm really killed, it's just because they're not as skilled as others. If I haven't mastered my skills, don't hang out. Who can I blame if I die?"
Ruyu's tone was cold, but she spoke of the dangerous world and the ever-changing crisis.
"Ruyu, if you and Taohong have something to do, you can take the first step. Zi Ling and I will be fine!" Although Liusu didn't understand what they were talking about, listening to Taohong's tone, the scene of being chased just now and
They were related, and Liusu didn't want to delay her from doing business.
Ruyu said that she would investigate some things when she sent her to Fengcheng, and that was probably what happened just now.
"Nothing's wrong, let's continue on our way!" Ruyu casually took three or four wild fruits from Taohong's hand, took a bite without wiping them off, and casually praised: "Taohong, it's so sweet, you are really capable!"
"Hey, Miss, you left one for me, why did you take them all!" Taohong resisted dissatisfied.
Ruyu raised her hand and said, "I am the young lady and you are the maid. Be careful, I will destroy you!"
"I knew you would be like this, but luckily I hid three of them!"
…
Zi Ling watched them playing around, smiled faintly, and helped Liusu get on the carriage. Taohong accepted her fate and drove towards Li City ahead.
Along the way, Ruyu was calmer than usual. Liusu knew that she was thinking about something and did not disturb her. Ziling kept pestering her to tell her about the scenery and interesting things along the way. Soon, they arrived at Licheng before the sun set.
Taohong parked the carriage in front of an inn in a familiar manner. Ruyu got out of the carriage gracefully, brushing away the troubles on the road, with a devilish smile on her face. Ziling helped Liusu get out of the car. The waiter had already come out to greet her.
Taohong asked them to lead the carriage to the back, ordered the waiter to feed it the best food, and gave it a reward of silver. The waiter smiled flatteringly and went down to do the work.
The inn was a little quiet, not as lively as usual. Even at the door, Ruyu felt a murderous aura swarming inside. She couldn't help but raise her eyebrows and went in without any scruples. Liusu and the other three walked at the end.
It turned out to be the group of women just now. Apart from a dozen or so of them, there was no one else in Nuoda's inn. Some of the food on the table had not yet been cleared away. Ruyu quickly judged that the place must have been very lively just now, and there were obvious traces of chaos.
, the guests left in a hurry, probably because they were afraid of their fierce appearance!
Seeing this situation, a smart person should go back to the room first, and if he wants to eat, he should ask the waiter to bring it to the room before eating. However, Ruyu is rebellious by nature and insists on eating in the hall. The shopkeeper timidly cleared a table
Let them sit down.
The eyes of the girls in white came with cold judgment, like ice knives. Zi Ling shuddered, Liu Su patted her hand, and pulled her to sit down.
After Taohong ordered the food, she told the waiter to go down and prepare it quickly. After traveling all day, she was very hungry.
"You have to go back to your room to eat. Our young palace master doesn't like to be in the same room with others!" One of the girls in the group shouted coldly at them, with such arrogance that Ruyu wanted to laugh.
Taohong just took a sip of tea and almost spit it out. Young Palace Master? Forget it if you pretend to be the Ghost Palace. If you dare to pretend to be Ximen Ruyu, hey, if you think your life is too long, give Yangshou to her. She doesn't mind.
Ruyu hugged her chest, raised her eyebrows coolly, and looked at them. They were really impressive. It was easy to tell that they were serving one of the girls as their master. The young master of the Ghost Palace had three numbers on his sleeves.
A skull, easy to recognize. A devilish smile appeared on the girl's flawless face, and she smiled so innocently, "Oh, it turns out you are the young palace mistress of the Ghost Palace. I have admired you for a long time, but I am disrespectful. I have admired you for a long time, little girl.
Palace Master, I am truly lucky to meet you today!"
You can’t even find a decent person to pretend to be, huh, do you think she, Ximen Ruyu, is a soft persimmon?
When the girl who spoke saw Ruyu's careless tone, she definitely didn't take them seriously. When her dignity was challenged, her first reaction was to use force to solve the problem. At this time, power was king, fists were truth, and only those who had won the battle were qualified to speak.
The girl pulled out the sword, and saw a flash of cold light. She gave a sweet shout and stabbed Ruyu. Ruyu quickly grabbed two chopsticks, flipped her wrists, and shot them out. The chopsticks were as violent as lightning, fast and
The hit hit the girl's wrist holding the sword. The girl felt numb in the tiger's mouth, unable to hold the sword, and fell to the ground with a clang.
She covered her hands and screamed, but she didn't expect that the second chopstick quickly flew towards her mask, trying to see her true face. The fake young palace master slapped the chopsticks on the table and swept his sleeves.
The two chopsticks collided in mid-air, and everyone could only hear a thin cracking sound. The two chopsticks split into eight even bamboo strands. It was obvious that the fake young palace master's skills were as good as Ruyu's.
Ruyu was not surprised that although the two protectors Xuanwu and Xuanbei were ambushed in advance, they were not able to do anything to make them miserable. She had already expected that they would be up to something.
Liusu and Ziling didn't know why Ruyu provoked them, but they knew after spending a few days together that she was not the kind of girl who made trouble, so they watched the show quietly.
"Stand down!" A cold and cold voice came out of the mouth of the fake young palace master. The troublemaking girl stamped her feet and returned to her seat unwillingly, "I am not good at disciplining my subordinates. Please forgive me for the offense I just made."
For the sake of my face, the girl will not care about it any more!"
Who doesn't know how to be a fool afterwards? She's tired of this trick a long time ago. Hypocrisy!
Ruyu raised her eyebrows coolly, and raised the corners of her lips with a charming smile, "Young Palace Master, do you have any great face? I never need to look at anyone's face."
More than a dozen eyes swept over, so cold they wanted to cut people's skin. Ruyu's smile really made people feel uncomfortable!
The fake young palace mistress did not get angry when she encountered a problem. She just said calmly: "Of course it is. If the girl has any advice, the Ghost Palace will accompany you to the end!"
Ruyu just wanted to laugh when she heard that, and used the Ghost Palace to suppress people. This is a good backer. She asked with a smile: "Young Palace Master, this little girl has always admired your martial arts. I don't know what your name is?"
You can answer it. It’s okay for me to call you grandma!
"Presumptuous! How can we tell you, an outsider, the name of our young palace mistress!"
Taohong smiled, "Ah, miss, I won't tell you, so it's useless for you to ask. Maybe the young palace mistress doesn't even know her name."
The people over there were about to shout angrily when they saw a white shadow hurriedly coming in and reported back: "Young Palace Master, we found them!"
With a swish, the rows of people all stood up, leaving Yinqian behind. He had no time to pay attention to them, and quickly disappeared into the inn. Ruyu looked solemn, and Taohong called her uneasily, she felt something was not good.
Ruyu took out a token engraved with a skull and a peony from her sleeve and handed it to Liusu, "Lisu, take this token. If you encounter trouble, take it to any city. There is Ximen.
Mark the two-letter drug store to find someone for help, and they will do their best to help you. I have something to do, so I have to leave first!"
Before Liusu could react, Ruyu hurried away with Taohong.
