The candlelight flickered, and the sound of fine needles falling could be heard quietly in the curtain. Whoosh - a black shadow flashed in, and tiptoed to the bedside. The people on the bed jumped up as if telepathically, and the two of them jumped up.
The two looked at each other for a moment, and Xi Yan's eyes were filled with mist. The man in black nodded slightly to her, tapped her sleeping point, and carried her on his shoulders. It only took a moment. He was about to open the tent.
, but the tent was opened first, and the two of them looked at each other - "Assassin -" a scream had been called out from Ping'er's mouth. Little did she know that she had originally planned to see if the young lady had covered herself with a quilt, and the cold air outside the wall
It was so heavy that I actually saw this scene - the young lady was held hostage on the shoulders by the man in black.
The man in black frowned slightly and reached out to cover her breath. Ping'er passed out after a while. He stepped over her body and was about to leave, only to realize that he was surrounded by Xiangguo's guards - hum.
, Xiangguo’s army is indeed well-trained, at least much stronger than Zhaoguo’s army!
"Who is that person? Let him go quickly!" Fan Qijie said.
The man in black took two steps back, seemingly compromising. His left hand gently moved her on his shoulder. Fan Qijie naturally did not miss his slightest movement. Suddenly - the man in black shook his hand vigorously and moved her on his shoulder.
People threw it out with all their strength, which was completely beyond everyone's expectations. Jinxiu Shangyi, who came after hearing the news, saw this scene, and his heart suddenly raised to his throat, "Ning Xiyan——" Fan Qijie was also stunned, he would actually do this.
, does the man in black want to kill the person on his shoulder?
The leaves suddenly trembled, and another figure in the trees flew towards her quickly. Seeing that it was too late, he finally concentrated his mind, hung a golden hook upside down, and firmly caught the person in mid-air with his hands. Oh my God! This was simply a touching scene!
The man in black in the bushes did not pause for a moment, and flew deep into the woods with the person in his arms. Fan Qijie couldn't help but wipe away the cold sweat, and Jinxiu Shangyi was uncharacteristically calm. He had seen this kind of light skill before! - That
Compared with the men in black today, the women who burned food and grass at night were even worse.
"哐——" A sharp sword energy shot out majesticly, reflecting the eyes of the man in black, cold and tough.
"Get out of the way -" Jinxiu Shangyi suddenly shouted at the soldiers surrounding him. But it was still too late - the man in black galloped past, a flash of light flashed through the air, he half-kneeled with his sword - the young master said
However, killing doesn't need to be too fancy, just get close, get closer, and kill! - People around him fell down one after another. In a moment, the sword was returned to its sheath and the murderous intent was gone. He turned around and saw Jinxiu Shangyi beside him.
The sword has been unsheathed, and without stopping, two smoke bombs are thrown down. When the smoke disappears, his figure is nowhere to be seen.
"Damn it!"
"Your Majesty—" Fan Qijie was full of doubts.
Jinxiu Shangyi looked at the red blood sword in his hand, "That's the Wind Brake Sword!"
"One of the four great swords that is in conflict with the Red Blood Sword - the Wind Brake Sword?!"
"Not bad." Jinxiu Shangyi clenched the sword in his hand. Originally, this red blood sword was also a good sword with sharp sword energy, but today it looks like it is rusty. It seems that the owner of this wind brake sword has more thoughts on saving people than he does.
Yes, so the Scarlet Blood Sword at this moment is definitely no match for the Wind Brake Sword. "They are definitely not ordinary assassins, but premeditated and organized killers! I am afraid that the ones who set fire to my granary are also the same group of people. Fan Qijie - I
I order you to return to the country quickly and tell the Imperial Preceptor everything that happened here to see what the Imperial Preceptor has in mind!" Jinxiu Shangyi was very calm at the moment. If they are in the same group, then Ning Xiyan is - his
His eyebrows furrowed again.
"Yes, I obey my orders! What about you, Your Majesty?"
"I will personally catch the person who was lost in my hands!" Jinxiu Shangyi's momentum increased. Just now, it was just rusty broken iron, but now it suddenly miraculously bloomed with light and became sharp. Looking at it,
There were more and more questions in his mind regarding the direction of the Zhao Kingdom. When did the Zhao Kingdom raise such a group of powerful dead soldiers? Piaoxue Sword and Fengsha Sword came out again. What did they want? It seemed that he had to go there in person.
A trip to Zhaoguo.
(Border of Yin State)
The small courtyard was filled with the faint scent of sugar. The boy took out some fine sugar from the stove, held it like a treasure, and walked to the side room.
"Sister, young master, sister, young master..."
"Yan'er, Yan'er, wake up, wake up." Jing Feng reached out and held her arms that were struggling in the air, shaking them gently, hoping that she would wake up from the nightmare and untie her sleeping hole.
She has been sleeping for two whole days. She is really too tired. Jing Feng looked at the person who was not sleeping peacefully with concern. What hardships has she experienced these days?
The thick long eyelashes trembled slightly, flying like butterflies, and the narrow eyes slowly opened, "——Brother Jingfeng..." she said softly.
"Yan'er, you finally woke up. I have wronged you these days." Jing Feng said awkwardly. Seeing her tears about to fall, he didn't know how to comfort her. In fact, he didn't know that at this moment, even if he didn't speak, he would
Watching her quietly will also make her feel the care from her relatives.
"Brother Jingfeng, my sister was seriously injured and lost a lot of blood. She was injured because she was trying to save me. She was trying to save me! I'm so scared. I'm so afraid that my sister will leave me. I don't want it, Jingfeng."
Brother Feng, please go and save your sister! Go quickly..." She cried miserably and struggled to push him out of the bed. "One step too late and my sister will be in danger. Brother Jingfeng, I beg you to go quickly.
Save my sister!"
"Yan'er, Yan'er!" Jing Feng stopped her excessive behavior and said loudly, "Listen to me - Lian'er has been rescued by Zhao Kingdom Crown Prince Long Changyi and returned to Zhao Kingdom. Now she only has the royal family's treasure.
Colorful Snow Lotus can save Lian'er, but we can't save him now
She, saving her is tantamount to harming her!" Jing Feng told the truth. In fact, he wanted to save her more than anyone else. Since he met the eight-year-old girl when he was fifteen, they practiced martial arts together. Instead of saying
They are partners, rather than brothers and sisters in life and death.
"Then sister can still be saved, right? Can she still be saved?"
"If Long Chang is willing to part with that colorful snow lotus..." Jing Feng said thoughtfully.
"How could that Long Changyi give the Royal Colorful Snow Lotus to his sister for no reason to save her life? He was still the prince, so it was even more impossible. He even used Shangguan Chuque to use me and force my sister to marry Brother Mu. So what?
Maybe it costs so much to save my sister? No, I want to leave, I want to see my sister!"
"Actually, there is another person who can also save Lian'er." He hesitated for a long time, always feeling that it was not appropriate to hide it from her like this. Didn't they hide enough things from her? The more he wanted to protect them, but the result was that
The two sisters were even more hurt.
"There is another person, who? Who is my brother talking about?"
"Shangguan Chuque." The words leaked from between his teeth.
"That treacherous villain?" Xi Yan blurted out.
A trace of complexity flashed in Jing Feng's eyes, "According to Haoyue's information, in order to win over the powerful Shangguan Chuque in the court, the eldest prince of Zhao State gave him a seven-color snow lotus. Now, the seven-color snow lotus is still there.
He keeps it at his residence." His words had the tone of a report, and he was serious.
"It won't be too late, I'll go and beg him!" Xi Yan immediately opened the quilt, put on her shoes and got out of bed.
She had just taken two steps when she felt dizzy, staggered, and almost fainted. She leaned on the edge of the bed and slowly stood up.
"Ning Xiyan, why are you always so reckless?" The little boy came in from the door holding a pastry plate in his hand.
"Xing Rui?" Upon closer inspection, it turned out that the little boy who came in was the pretty boy who competed with Xi Yan for candied haws at the market. At this time, he had a stinky face.
"If your health is not good, don't show off." Is this brainless woman in front of him the devil who bullied him when he was a child? Xingrui was really fooled by her for many years.
"Brother Jingfeng, thank you for saving Yan'er's life again." She held the screen and straightened her body, squinting and deliberately ignoring him, just to make the kid angry.
"Then it's up to you and Xing Rui to partner up well." Seeing that Xing Rui's face looked ugly, Jing Feng pulled him into the show of gratitude.
"No way, Feng Shang, she and I don't have any tacit understanding." Xing Rui turned his head.
"Xing Rui, the play you performed at the market was so fake, why didn't you cry with tears? Stupid kid." Xi Yan "complained" weakly.
"Every time you bully me, why do you always win? I cry. Me, my man doesn't shed tears easily. I just like to eat candied haws. What's wrong?" The little boy's cheeks bulged with anger, and his handsome face flushed.
Hong, she has loved teasing him since she was little.
She just likes to snatch his candied haws, so when they monitored her for a few days and realized that she seemed to be crazy, they staged a scene at the market to test whether she really remembered this childhood enemy. Sure enough, her madness was just
To deceive others.
Xiyan lowered her eyes and thought for a moment, then suddenly said softly, "Xingrui, thank you." She changed from her usual playful smile and became surprisingly serious.
"Ah -" She really spoke, but Xingrui didn't know what to say for a moment. He didn't expect that this person could "change his evil ways and return to righteousness" faster than the young master could change his face. He scratched his head for a while, looked around for a while, and finally
He simply turned his head to dodge.
"Xingrui, what are you holding in your hand?" Why did Jingfeng feel that these enemies were awkward? They had been fighting for many years, day and night. In fact, they were just kids at heart, and they obviously cared about each other.
, we have been together for so many years through ups and downs, they are not real brothers and sisters, but they are better than real brothers and sisters.
"That, oh, that's the leftover candy cake I ate. Ning Xiyan, you seem to like it too, so I'm giving you an advantage! I'll bring that over for you to try." Looking at the disbelief in the eyes of the other two people,
, Xingrui felt more and more uneasy, and added, "It's leftovers. You don't think I personally made candy cakes for you to eat, do you? No, you should stop dreaming..." This kid is a tough talker.
The two adults smiled knowingly, "Then I'll give in and have a taste of someone's saliva -" Xiyan deliberately frowned, with a look of grievance on her face, so Xingrui didn't look at her. Was she trying to be angry with him?
Xi Yan secretly took a look at his face, but there was no movement. Okay, let's hit his weak point again and see how long he can endure it - she turned and sighed, "I said, little brother, you are eleven
How come you still look like seven or eight years old? Hey - I'm really worried about you: Can you still grow taller?" She still didn't believe that she couldn't tease him, with a worried look on her face.
"Ning Xiyan, you -" Sure enough, a child is a child after all. Looking at Feng Shang, who was usually serious, he couldn't help but laugh. He was once again staggering around in anger and despaired of all thoughts. But when he changed his mind, he suddenly stood aside calmly.
, glanced at the culprit on the bed, and said, "But don't forget, it was my "skinny" figure that saved you!"
"You -" Ning Xiyan gritted her teeth and argued, "It was Brother Jingfeng who saved me, not you at all. How come you, a kid, are so happy with your achievements? Sister Yan'er taught you - this is wrong!"
Akimbo.
"Ning Xiyan, how could I save you? I've gone crazy, looking for a rival for myself!" The child was obviously at a disadvantage.
Sure enough, as soon as she met her "rival", Yan'er's complexion immediately improved. Seeing that once this war was provoked, it would mean endless quarrels. Jing Feng quietly walked out of the door and stuffed the pre-written note into the pigeon's leg.
In the straw, let it fly. In fact, there is only one word in the letter - Ann!

(Residence of Shangguan of Zhao Kingdom)
"Prime Minister, Prime Minister? Prime Minister--" Liu Fu wondered what the Prime Minister was thinking about and why he was so lost in thought. Today seemed very abnormal.
"Well, what's the matter?" Shangguan Chuque looked away from Lingyin Pavilion and sighed softly.
"Master Xiang, the prince has summoned you." He replied carefully.
"Okay, I understand." The servant put on a mysterious purple robe, swept away his previous dullness, and instantly seemed to be reborn, full of energy, full of confidence, and smiling proudly in the court.
As soon as he walked off the Chen Bridge, Zheng Ronglan was already waiting under the bridge. As soon as he saw his mentor stepping down, he immediately followed behind, "Teacher, is there a way to save Miss Xixue?"
"Haha..." Shangguan Chuque looked at Zheng Ronglan with his charming eyes. His smile was very handsome, but for some reason it always made Zheng Ronglan feel uncomfortable. Anyone with a discerning eye could tell how powerful Shangguan Chuque was - he was unpredictable.
He never plays his cards according to common sense. Long Chang is also the prince of Zhao State. He is ambitious and thoughtful.
How could he rest assured that he would place the great power of Zhao State in front of the most intelligent man in the world? And he, Zheng Ronglan, was a chess piece placed by Long Changyi beside Shangguan Chuque. If it were not for the order of his prince master, he Zheng Ronglan
Why have I spent so many years waiting by Shangguan's side day and night and suffering from his strange expression?
"Teacher, isn't the late eldest prince's colorful snow lotus in-" His master asked him to find out the whereabouts of the colorful snow lotus to save Miss Xixue, so naturally he didn't dare to neglect it.
"That's right, that fool gave me the colorful snow lotus." Shangguan Chuque took the initiative to "confess".
"My mentor and Miss Xixue are old acquaintances. Rong Lan is wondering if my mentor will save Miss Xixue's life? There is also a wonderful piece of music in the world - a solo on the piano and flute."
What he thought of, how could he not think of it, but - "The colorful snow lotus is gone." This was the reason for his worry these days.
"No, no more?"
Shangguan Chuque flicked his sleeves and walked towards the gate. He already had a plan in mind, "Rong Lan, prepare the sedan chair."
"Teacher, where are you going?"
"Imperial Palace, Weiyang Hall."
The prince's bedroom? Zheng Ronglan didn't understand what he meant. A few days ago, the prince's master had already vented his anger on Shangguan Chuque because of Miss Xixue's injury. The two broke up on bad terms. The only thing he could do to make up for his solid position in front of the prince now was
The colorful snow lotus disappeared for no reason, so Shangguan Chuque still went to Weiyang Hall. What was he thinking? Zheng Ronglan carefully looked at the expression on his face - it was calm, as if the unhappiness between the monarch and his ministers had never happened.
Shangguan Chuque raised his hands behind his back - Long Wuchen and Aaron Wuchen, I didn't want to kill you, I just blame your son for pushing too hard, ah... I'm really curious, I don't know what it feels like to be killed by someone close to you. How about it? Haha... Zhaoguo Imperial Palace is really exciting~~
A rare guest came to the Prime Minister's Mansion early in the morning, and he did not leave until late in the evening. At this moment, the two were making tea and playing chess.
"Brother Mu, are you worried?" Shangguan Chuque settled down.
"Why did you say that?" Mu Suiyi smiled bitterly. No matter how well he concealed it, he still saw it.
"Brother Mu, it seems that you come to my house more frequently." Shangguan Chuquemei smiled and said, "Maybe you have taken a fancy to one of my maids in Shangguan's house and asked me to be a matchmaker?"
"Haha... Shangguan, please stop making fun of me. Since I'm not afraid of becoming your target, what are you afraid of, Prime Minister Shangguan?" Mu Suiyi said with a pun. Based on his several fights with Shangguan Chuque. Look, Shangguan is by no means a fuel-efficient lamp. He is only afraid that Yan'er's life will be in danger if she is captured, so in order to keep her unharmed, he has become a guest of his prime minister's house in the past few days. In his opinion, , if he begged for mercy, Shangguan Chuque would be more merciful.
"Master Xiang——" A call from outside the forest interrupted the secret contest between the two people in the pavilion.
"Haoyue, is there something wrong?" Shangguan Chuque did not raise his head, his attention was still on the chessboard.
Haoyue glanced at Shangguan Chuque and saw that he did not evade his orders. She was relieved and said with a slight chin, "She's here -"
"It's been ten days, count the days, even the tortoise should crawl here." Shangguan Chuque dropped the last piece with a sonorous and powerful sound. Mu Suiyi turned to look at the chessboard on the short table - the entire chessboard was clear at a glance. The chess piece was in danger of gaining the upper hand. Although Black was pressing hard every step of the way, it was a battle between trapped beasts and there was no way to save the situation. Mu Suiyi couldn't help but frown slightly.
"Master Mu, you lose." There was no sarcasm in his words.
"I admire you."
"No, the reason why Louzhu Mu lost was because you had other things on your mind, wasn't it?" Shangguan Chuque sighed softly, waved his hand, and fulfilled his wish, "If you want to see her, come with me. You think about it carefully." Shangguan Chuque raised his head to the sky and turned his back to Mu Suiyi.
As expected, she became his target again. Mu Suiyi twitched her lips helplessly, "I do!" Follow the old rules - if you ask each other for one thing, you must do something else in return.
The Lingyin Pavilion at night seemed a little quiet and lonely without the flowers in the daytime and the singing and dancing. Suddenly, a clear and ethereal flute sound broke through the air, breaking the long silence. Chu Que saw him and He didn't avoid the instructions from left and right, so he felt relieved and said with a slight chin, "She's here -"
