The huge inner courtyard of the palace is surrounded by tree shadows and rockeries. By the candlelight of the pavilions and pavilions, the breeze is blowing, and the lake is still sparkling. The guards are patrolling with lanterns. There are many more people than before, which strengthens the atmosphere. The alert in the palace, after Shui Lianyue came out of Jingxue Pavilion, kept walking eastward, passing by the palaces of some concubines, she heard either the faint sound of the piano or the desolate sound of the bamboo flute, as if she was confiding through this sound As soon as you enter the palace gate, it is as deep as the sea. From then on, your conscience is the loneliness and help of passers-by.
When she passed the Jiaoxiang Palace, she saw at a glance the figures in the palace reflected on the tables, as if they were dancing and swaying, but they were playing music. However, there was not a single palace maid inside or outside the spacious Jiaoxiang Palace. Shui Lianyue's steps with the eunuch paused for a moment, but she suddenly felt a strong killing intent, accompanied by a sharp wind, and a cold light flying toward her.
"Ding dong", Shui Lianyue quickly dodged, and the Xuantian Ling in her sleeves flew out to meet the cold light, sparks suddenly splashed, and then the cold light fell to the ground with a crisp sound. She lowered her head slightly and glanced, but there was a It looked like an ordinary silver hairpin, lying intact on the ground. He secretly thought in his heart that this person's martial arts was so profound that he could withstand her Xuantian Ling with a silver hairpin.
"Who is here, and why are you sneaking around outside the Jiaoxiang Palace?" A woman's voice came from the Jiaoxiang Palace, like an oriole, crisp and sweet, but with a bone-chilling chill.
Shui Lianyue had to admire this woman. She only stayed for a moment before she was discovered. Moreover, she was able to identify her specific location just by hearing. If she hadn't avoided the silver hairpin just now, she might have hit the target. It can be seen that This woman was not a simple woman. She walked over slowly and used the inner strength of her palms to open the palace door with the wind of her palms.[
There is a difference between Jiaoxiang Palace and Jiaofang Palace. The non-burning incense burners in the palace reveal a faint fragrance. The decoration in the palace is extremely luxurious. Even though all the precious objects in the world are used, it is not as good as the Jiaoxiang Palace. All the candles They are all covered with glazed lamps, making the light in the hall colorful and extremely dazzling. The tables and chairs are made of fine golden nan, and the curtains hanging on the pillars are actually woven with golden threads. , under the illumination of light, it becomes more luxurious and moving.
It's a pity that although it looks luxurious, the hall is very messy. It seems that no one has cleaned it for a long time. There is a woman standing in the middle of the hall, wearing a light green corset dress. She is very simple and elegant, but However, it seems out of place with the layout of the palace. She has a slender figure and is no more than seventeen or eighteen years old. Her black hair is simply tied into a ponytail, which is a little fluffy due to the dance just now. Her face is pale, her facial features are delicate, and her eyes are bright and clear. A pool of clear water in spring, but it shines with a kind of wise light.
The woman also looked at Shui Lianyue, and it was easy to tell that she was a woman. However, because she was wearing black clothes and covering her face, she became even more wary. She pointed at Shui Lianyue and shouted coldly: " who are you"?
Shui Lianyue chuckled lightly, looked at the woman with a faint chill in her phoenix eyes, and said quietly: "I'm just a passerby, you have to worry."
"Passenger? Hehe, you can go to the huge palace with me, but you can't get close to Jiaoxiang Palace." As she spoke, the woman's brows once again showed a murderous intent.
After Shui Lianyue heard the words, she couldn't help but frowned at the woman in front of her. It seemed that she was a very stubborn person. If she got entangled with her, it might delay things. So, she ignored the woman and turned around to leave, but Unexpectedly, the woman had no intention of letting Shui Lianyue leave. With a cold look, she pulled out a soft sword from her waist and stabbed her with her inner strength.
Shui Lianyue only felt the sound of wind in her ears, and the golden curtains in the palace were flying. She raised her cuffs again without hesitation, and a white light greeted the soft sword with a clanking sound. She passed more than ten moves with this woman. Although the outcome was still undecided, the woman was obviously exhausted and gradually began to pant. After a while, her pale cheeks turned red.
Seeing this, Shui Lianyue took the opportunity to raise Xuan Tian Ling, shook it slightly, and instantly rolled up the woman's soft sword. With a wave of her hand, the soft sword immediately left the woman's hand and fell to the ground with a jingle. The woman was hit by Xuan Tian Ling's hand. The cold air shook him to the ground, and he kept coughing and wheezing.
"I'm offended." Shui Lianyue's beautiful face returned to a calm look. Then, she took back Xuan Tian Ling. She didn't want to be entangled anymore, turned around and was about to leave, but she heard the woman giggle. That laughter It sounds very nice, but it is filled with pain and ridicule.
"You're so funny. It was obviously me who touched you first, but you apologized to me. This kind of heart is rare. From this, it can be seen that I wrongly blamed you."
Shui Lianyue stopped and said calmly: "I am just a passerby."
Just as she was about to take a step forward, a voice came from behind her again, "You have a very strong Yin-cold aura. If it weren't for your Yin-cold physique, there would be no martial arts in the world that could reach your level. Can you tell me your gender?" "Fate"? The woman supported her body with her arms and sat on the ground, looking at Shui Lianyue's back, with murderous intent in her eyes, but with a hint of doubt.
"You need to know", a few simple words came out of Shui Lianyue's mouth, with a coldness that could repel people thousands of miles away, but the woman ignored them directly and still asked: "From the time I can remember until now , then you know that there is only one woman with a cold constitution in the world, and that is the master of Jinling Palace, Leng Tianyue, I wonder what your relationship is with her?"
Hearing this, Shui Lianyue frowned slightly and turned to look at the woman. Seeing that her eyes seemed full of expectation, she smiled disdainfully and said lightly: "I have no relationship with her, and I don't know Leng Tian either." "Moon", as soon as she finished speaking, she tapped her toes and flew out of the wall of Jiaoxiang Palace in an instant. However, her ears heard the woman's words transmitted secretly with her inner strength.
"I don't believe what you say. There are very few people with cold physiques in the world, except for Leng Tianyue, but you are an exception. No matter what your relationship is, if you are asked to do anything in the future, just do as you are told."
This sentence almost prevented Shui Lianyue from falling in mid-air. There was a black line on her forehead. The woman's words clearly meant something, but she really had nothing to do with Leng Tianyue. Even if they were related, It was just that Master and Leng Tianyue knew each other. She had a father and a mother, and she had never doubted these things.
She thought so, but she still took the woman's words to heart. Her father, Shui Yunheng, was an ordinary wealthy businessman. He didn't know how to practice martial arts and needed to be protected by secret guards. And her mother was even more incompetent. She is a woman as weak as water, but she is born with a cold constitution. Where do you start talking about this?
Seeing that she had arrived at the Bronze Bird Hall, she put away her thoughts and looked around cautiously. It was very quiet here, except for the faint light flashing in the hall, and the breeze was blowing. She hid in a hidden corner and slowly closed her phoenix eyes, her ears sharp. Searching the general direction of the secret guards in the dark place, for a long time, she opened her eyes and looked at the door of the Tongque Hall with half-squinted eyes. All the secret guards were inside the Tongque Hall. Although they were not outside, they were Her actions brought a lot of inconvenience. As long as she was discovered when she entered, it would be even more difficult for Nangong Yu to leave.
