Chapter 45 Chapter Five Intersection

"Are you saying that other than the leader, there are other people who want to take your life?" Xu Lai asked while holding the flagon, he leaned on the window sill of Xiao Huan's room without any demeanor, with one foot on the window sill , the other foot hangs down, and the flagon in his hand dangles with his question. Xiao Huan's appearance was not much better than his, and he was also holding a large jug of Shaoxing rice wine in his hand, leaning on the table with his head propped up, "The man told me before he left last night, 'The killer is on the mission. I always like to meet a target who is dying of fuel', I don't think he is like a talkative person, so I think he is hinting at me."

"'All like'?" Xu Lai also had some comprehension. He raised his head and took a big gulp of wine, then nodded: "This way you may be in a lot of trouble, no wonder you insist on asking that little girl to go." "Yeah, I'm not sure I'll be able to get out of here, and if Cang Cang stays by my side, it will be dangerous." Xiao Huan laughed, and he also raised the jug and poured a big mouthful of wine, with a free and easy posture, as usual It was very different when he sipped from the glass. Xu came to look at him: "You're still a doctor...does it matter if you get hurt from drinking like this?"

"At best, it will get better slowly," Xiao Huan shook the flagon slowly, with a little wine stain on the corner of his mouth: "I can't die anyway." Seeing his laziness and indifference, Xu Lai suddenly laughed loudly: "Do you know what I admire most about you?" Xiao Huan squinted at him and smiled: "You really want me to guess, right?" Xu Lai smiled: "The first time I saw you, I thought you were a cowardly doctor, but I didn't expect you to put down the medicine box and fight side by side with me in a blink of an eye; , who knew that when we went to the gambling house that night, you cheated more than me; the third time I saw you, I thought we met by chance, and you might not be willing to help my friend sincerely. Healing, I didn't close my eyes for three days and three nights, and almost made myself sick..." He paused, "It seems to be tightly imprisoned by something, but in fact, there is nothing that can restrain it at all." He raised his eyebrows Feng, Xu Lai has a different kind of demeanor in his eyes, "This is what I admire and admire most about you."

Looking at Xu Lai's raised eyebrows in a daze, Xiao Huan slowly laughed and exhaled: "This is the first time that someone said I was too unscrupulous." Xu Lai laughed: "Then it's your fault for wearing the mask too well!" Xiao Huan smiled and pointed at his face jokingly: "Does it really look that fake?" Xu Lai nodded: "It's just a little bit less like ordinary people..." They all stopped, looked at each other, and raised the flagons in their hands together: "Do it!" The laughter from the next door could be faintly heard, ears were pricked up to listen to the movement, and Cang Cang stomped his feet fiercely.

Ever since she left Xiao Huan's room, the laughter inside hadn't stopped.It seems that a friend of Xiao Huan came. Is it so pleasant to drive her away?What is there to be happy about?Laughing so loudly, as if still drinking!Alcoholic friends are alcoholics!Men don't have a good thing!Boyle is even more unreliable!A drunkard and a badass are the most unreliable! Angrily stomping a few more times, Cang Cang didn't know if he was dizzy with anger, or his head was sober instead. He turned his eyes to the half of the baggage he had just packed up in anger, and suddenly grinned strangely.

After about a stick of incense, the door of a certain guest room in the official post creaked, and then a young man in a moon-white gown came out. Strands of hair have been exposed from the front of the head. The boy dragged a huge bag in his hand, and moved into the courtyard step by step. His big eyes slid left and right, as if he was looking for something. Standing in the courtyard, he coughed a few times very forcefully, and waited for a while with his ears tilted slightly. Seeing that there was no movement in a room, he snorted heavily, and threw the big burden on his shoulders. , Stride out of the official post.

When he walked to the gate of the station, the old postman who was sitting on a rattan chair and guarding the yard greeted him with a smile: "Miss Cangcang is leaving?" "Hmm." With a snort, he agreed, carrying a burden that was much higher than his own head, the young man swaggered and mingled with the crowd outside the door. The old Yicheng continued to smile and said: "What a coincidence, Mr. Xiao also went out just now...Miss Cangcang, do you want me to tell you?" The flow of people came and went in front of the post house, and the moon-white figure had already gone far.

Under the shade of the big tree opposite the post station, the young man in black was standing against the wall with his sword in his arms, spat out the straw in his mouth, shook his clothes, and chased after the big bag dangling in the crowd in front of him. It may be the first time in his life that he encountered such an eye-catching tracking target. The handsome young man with amber eyes had a smile on his lips. Xiao Huan was suddenly dragged out of the station by Xu Lai. They each finished a pot of old Shaoxing wine, Xu Lai jumped off the window sill and slapped his head suddenly: "By the way, I have something to show you!"

Then he couldn't help but say that he pulled Xiao Huan up and left. He was so lazy that he didn't even want to move his hands a moment ago, but now he was so anxious that he seemed to die a little later. Xiao Huan had no choice but to let him lead, and the two of them left the post station very quickly, running through the streets and alleys in Luzhou city. Even if they walked fast, they still walked for half a stick of incense, and they didn't stop until they were near the city gate. Xu Lai pointed to an inconspicuous blue mark in the corner: "Brother Xiao, look." Xiao Huan leaned over to observe carefully, his usually indifferent face slightly changed color: "Tangmen?" The imprint was not characteristic at first glance, but from a certain angle, it could be seen that the blue paint reflected The faint multicolored phosphorescence.

Xu Lai nodded: "It was accidentally discovered by the disciples in our teaching. We have the same opinion. It is indeed a sign used by the Tang Sect to call together fellow sects." He frowned in confusion: "Since the bloodbath eight years ago, There are no more disciples of the Tang Sect in the rivers and lakes. Is it true that there are still survivors in the Tang Sect as rumored?" Xiao Huan frowned and didn't know what he was thinking. He quickly straightened up and nodded to Xu Lai: "Let's go back to the station first." When the two of them rushed back to the station, the old postman was still sitting on the reclining chair basking in the sun, his slightly squinted eyes unexpectedly glanced at Xiao Huan, and said with a smile: "Young master Xiao is back? Why is it such a coincidence today, Miss Cangcang?" Just now I went out angrily with a big burden..."

Xiao Huan stopped his hurried steps and repeated: "Going out?" He suddenly bent down and coughed violently. Xu Lai hurriedly helped him up: "Brother Xiao, don't worry, we will slowly figure out what to do." Xiao Huan shook his hands to indicate that he was fine, straightened up slightly, with a wry smile on his face: "It was Cang Cang's father who ordered people to wash Tangmen with blood eight years ago..." Even Xu Lai was stunned at this moment, the vicious tactics of the disciples of the Tang sect, the deep-rooted hatred for exterminating the sect... He was suddenly shocked: "I will ask the disciples of the Luzhou sub-altar if they have noticed the whereabouts of Miss Cangcang. " Carrying the burden on his back, he ran out of the city in one breath, Cang Cang didn't stop until he was panting from exhaustion. He unloaded the burden on his shoulders and put them on the ground, rubbing his sore shoulders and looking behind him. no one!She has been running for so long, but she still hasn't caught up! A little discouraged, Cang Cang sat down on the stone by the roadside, and began to think about his whereabouts. She ran so fast just now that she didn't even think of buying a horse at the post station in the city for transportation. Now, should she use her legs to walk to the next city?Otherwise, go back to the city to buy horses? Cang Cang yanked down a large handful of weeds on the side of the road to vent his anger, so he didn't want to go back!Glancing at the way she came from again, she still couldn't see the blue figure chasing after her, and the hand that was holding the grass suddenly lost all strength... I really don't care about her... Biting his lips in frustration, Cang Cangwu suddenly heard a lazy voice: "Do you want me to help?" He quickly raised his head, and met a pair of amber eyes. The young man in black looked at her with his sword in his arms, with a smile on his handsome face. Cang Cang blinked hard, and immediately grinned brightly: "It's you, we met again, what a coincidence, hahaha..." He slipped his foot, but wanted to slip away from that person's side. The way out was blocked by an arm, but the man still smiled: "Miss Ling wants to leave?" Seeing that he couldn't escape, Cang Cang could only smile awkwardly: "That, this, just happened to be in a hurry..." The young man looked at her and suddenly laughed: "Are you afraid of me? Why did you run away?" Cang Cang knew that he couldn't hide it, so he stared fiercely: "It's strange for you to ask, you just slashed Brother Xiao last night, and I didn't run away when I saw you, so why wait for you to slash me?" The young man looked at her rather amusedly: "Why should I cut you with a sword?" Cang Cang's voice was much louder than his: "How do I know why you want to cut me down? Anyway, I'm in your hands now, you can kill or cut me up, don't wait for my brother Xiao to catch up and beat you until you cry !" "Really?" The young man looked at her with a smile, and deliberately slowed down his speech, "It's been so long, if you want to chase, you should have come long ago, right?" After choking for a while, Cang Cang began to regret: I knew I would have run out in a fit of anger... In a quiet courtyard in Luzhou City, a young man in white leaned against a willow tree, listened quietly to his subordinate's report, and patted him on the shoulder with a smile: "Very good, thanks for your hard work." Turning his face away, he took a slight breath: "Brother Xiao, you heard it too..." Xiao Huan, who was standing beside him, nodded: "Someone saw a man in black with a sword take her away." He said, coughed lightly, and smiled, "It's just that person, I don't think it will be used for now." I'm worried about Cang Cang's safety. Brother Xu, thank you." "Just make sure that person won't do anything to the little girl." Xu Lai also nodded, "Then what shall we do next?" Xiao Huan smiled: "Of course it's to solve my own troubles." He coughed again and laughed, "It's fine for Cang Cang to just leave like this, so you don't need to get involved in the disputes below." Xu Lai looked at him thoughtfully and nodded, then suddenly reached out and patted the Lingtai acupoint on his back. Caught off guard by his palm, Xiao Huan staggered a step, bent down and coughed up a mouthful of blood. With quick eyes and quick hands, he grabbed his body, looked at the dark red blood on the ground, Xu Lai's face was gloomy: "How long have you endured it?" The breath was still messy, Xiao Huan coughed lightly, and laughed again: "Old problem, it doesn't matter." Still looking sullenly at his pale face, Xu Lai frowned: "Is this your old disease that has been fine?" Xiao Huan also honestly admitted: "I meddled in some nosy things, and I accidentally broke out." Xu Lai still frowned: "What's wrong with you?" "There is cold poison in the heart and lungs." He answered casually, Xiao Huan thought about it, and added, "Maybe other places are not so good." Furious at his indifference, Xu Lai wished he could throw him to the ground: "When I was drinking just now, I believed you were fine. I was such an idiot! You look like this, do you still need others to kill you? Are you Divine doctor, quickly prescribe some medicine for yourself!" Then Xu Lai discovered that the indifferent expression that had not wavered even the slightest when he and he killed the enemy in bloody battles changed instantly, Xiao Huan's face seemed to get worse, and he forced a smile: "It's okay, no need, just bear with it." Just like..." Xu Lai watched him silently, and suddenly touched his chin with his free hand: "Are you afraid of taking medicine?" Suddenly being talked about, Xiao Huan pressed his chest and lowered his head: "Ahem..." The unrestrained and unrestrained left hall master of the Guangming Holy Church of Lingbi Sect laughed "haha", a genuine joy that he hasn't experienced in a long time: "A doctor is actually afraid of taking medicine... Oh my god... there are people who are afraid of taking medicine." Doctor...hahaha..." Frowning to see him laughing backwards and forwards, Xiao Huan showed a rare moment of depression: "Can't you be afraid of suffering if you know medical skills..." It was getting late, and smoke began to rise from the passing farmhouses. Farmers returning from the fields led buffaloes and carried plowshares, and walked among the harvested rice fields.The twilight dyed the figures of people and cows yellow, and the field Sangmo looked like a painting. Looking at the buffalo leisurely passing by with his chin resting on his cheek, Cang Cang finally turned his head for the third time and asked the man on the same horse as him: "My leg is sore, let's switch places." For the third time, the young man in black lazily shook his head: "No change." Gritting his teeth, he gave him a hard look, pressed his sore thigh, which was almost unconscious, and simply lay down on the horse's head, without even the energy to complain: "You are an evil ghost..." The "evil ghost" behind her stroked her chin and rode forward complacently: "Whatever you say..." Cang Cang wept with a sad face and ignored him. Cang Cang is still not sure whether this young man with a lazy smile is an enemy or a friend. After seeing him outside Luzhou City, this young man "coerced" her and forcefully asked her to go with him.But I don't know if it's because she was sure she wouldn't dare to be presumptuous, but he didn't force her with a single finger, even when blocking her escape, he never used the hilt of his sword, but his arm. With the bumping of the horse, the body of the young man behind him inevitably rubbed against the back of the gray, with a warm touch different from that of that person. Because he grew up among boys, Cang Cang didn't think there was anything wrong with such a posture, but he suddenly remembered that when he was walking with Xiao Huan, even if he rode the same horse, he would try his best to avoid it Physical contact between two people. She seems to have never really understood him, even though he told her his true identity frankly when they met for the first time, even though he never refused her approach, but there was still something she didn't understand. The person who always smiled faintly, with a large blank on his body that she didn't know, accompanied her tenderly, and then disappeared without a sound. His bright and deep eyes seemed to appear in front of his eyes, and the corner of his mouth that was always smiling. How can you remember a person's appearance so clearly? Cang Cang suddenly began to strongly hope that as soon as he raised his head, he could see that person standing not far away with a slight smile, and with his arms open, he could embrace that warm and cool body. Why do you think so?It's just that they've only been away for a few hours. Outside Wuchang City. "Xiao Yuncong!" Pushing back the killer next to him, Xu Laiyang released a copper coin dart, almost knocking out a sleeve arrow aimed at the person beside him, a little annoyed, "Please don't do it in such a critical situation." Under the circumstances, can you test the opponent's martial arts skills?" "Really?" replied casually. The cyan figure was surrounded by the group of enemies, advancing and retreating freely. Enemy, "Brother Xu, do you think the situation is critical?" Feeling powerless to even roll his eyes, Xu Lai slapped away a long sword that was handed over to him: "The situation is not critical... I just don't want to practice kung fu with these little brothers... Can we make a quick decision?" Speaking of which, their situation is really not dangerous, at least compared to the frantic pursuit two days ago, now they are not in danger of being pierced by a killer who ranks below ten in the rivers and lakes, and they are not accidentally stained with some kind of non-lethal But the danger of the deadly poison, compared to the situation where they may lose their lives at any time, they are really not dangerous now... It's just... Seeing one injury in front of him, the other one is immediately repaired, as if there are endless miscellaneous soldiers coming... Xu Lai is very helpless. After fighting for a few days, he really just wants to find a clean and comfortable room. In the guest room, take a comfortable bath, and then sleep soundly. I don't know if he felt his sorrow, Xiao Huan, who has been wandering among the enemies, but never really took action against the enemy, suddenly smiled, and a light blue light flowed from his fingers: "Then let's fight quickly. " The flowing sword smoothly enters the enemy's formation, and the golden sword strikes, and there are crisp sounds, and the clank is like a heroic battle music. It was not the first time to see such a sharp and smooth sword technique like wind, Xu Lai's spirit was also shaken suddenly, the soft knife on his waist was unsheathed, and he struck out with lightning speed. The battle situation began to turn around the moment the two men shot their swords. When the light of their swords shone, no one could resist that light. In just a few days, these two young men have already begun to create an undefeated myth. The thoroughfare of nine provinces, thousands of sails compete. The prosperity of Wuchang City is not inferior to that of Suzhou and Hangzhou. Mu Yuquan, the most prestigious bathing place in Wuchang City, has the best location and the most luxurious bathroom. Two young people took it half an hour ago. The rich sandalwood steams in the hot mist of the pool, making people drowsy. Leaning against the sapphire pool wall with a hot towel on his face, Xu Lai only felt comfortable all over, and was about to fall asleep lazily. Xiao Huan, who was leaning against the side of the pool, closed his eyes and rested his mind, and seemed to be about to fall asleep. Compared with the thrilling fights of the past few days, it couldn't be more comfortable now. Feeling full of warmth and thinking about lust, Xu Lai shook his head, thinking of the Qifang Tower by the East Lake, the dancer in red, and the amorous singer. As soon as I thought about it, there was a wisp of fragrance, mixed in the sandalwood through the warm wet towel. A large piece of hot water suddenly rushed to his cheeks, he choked on two mouthfuls of water and raised his head, Xu Lai finally realized that Xiao Huan held his head and dipped into the bathtub. The face towel had long since fallen off his face, and a cool hand was covering his mouth and nose, Xiao Huan's voice was a little hurried: "Don't breathe in!" Then without his order, Xu Lai had already grabbed the bath towel, took up the water, turned around and swept across, the long towel full of strength fluttered like a flag.There was only a soft rustle, and the long scarf was already full of hidden weapons. Xu Lai swung it instead of pushing it, and a concealed weapon remained intact, and shot it out of the window, and immediately there were several screams. There were not many enemies coming, and they no longer wanted to fight, and immediately retreated. It was just a good bathroom, but now it is a mess. "Bastard! You even came to take a bath to spoil my interest!" Xu Lai scolded angrily, and then Xu Lai felt that Xiao Huan on the side looked at him with some strange eyes, and quickly lowered his head, only to realize—— The bath towel blocked the hidden weapon, so his lower body was naked at the moment. Sitting in the bathtub with a "plop" quickly, regardless of the splash of water, Xu Lai rarely blushed with a handsome face. Looking at Xiao Huan with embarrassment, he saw that his fingers were scorched black, and asked quickly: "What's wrong?" "It's just the traces of burning spices." Putting down his hands indifferently, Xiao Huan straightened the black hair hanging on his chest, "They used shredded tobacco from the Tang Sect to make it soft. Come on, or we'll just die drunk in the bath." Thinking of the faint fragrance that he had just smelled just now, Xu Lai nodded with lingering fear: "The tobacco shreds from Tangmen can make people intoxicated by smelling the fragrance, and the whole body is paralyzed to death... I don't want to die of such a wimp." He asked, "What? Now that the descendant of the Tang Sect has followed us?" "Probably not one." Shaking his head, Xiao Huan combed the hair on the side of his shoulder with his fingers, and said sideways, "If you are alone, how can you contact the same sect?" Thinking of how they discovered the traces of Tangmen disciples, Xu Lai nodded: "Indeed, I forgot about this level..." He stopped suddenly, looked at Xiao Huan and smiled, "Brother Xiao, I just discovered today that you are so charming. , you can go and grab the limelight with the oiran Xiaoxian in Qifang Tower..." Xiao Huan didn't look angry either, and smiled lightly: "Really? I'm free some other day, maybe I'll try it." While talking, he loosely tied his straightened black hair in front of his chest, and walked out of the bath , picked up the only intact bathrobe on the hanger, put it on, and bowed politely to Xu Lai who was in the bath with a smile, "Brother Xu took a bath slowly, and I'm going out first." Xu Lai stared at Shi Shiran out of the bathroom in a daze, then looked at the bath towel on the floor that was riddled with holes from being poked by a hidden weapon, and the same tattered bathrobe on the hanger that was missing half of his body... ... shouted in vain to the door: "Brother Xiao, don't go, Brother Xiao! Wait..." After soaking in the bathroom for a quarter of an hour, and then being naked and embarrassingly bumped into naked by the yamen servants who came to chase the troublemakers after hearing the news, the yamen servants blocked him in the bath and interrogated him for a long time. Xu Laicai finally got a piece of clothing. Cover up, trot all the way back to the guest room... The face of the left hall master of the Guangming Holy Church of Lingbi Sect... His reputation as a handsome and romantic young man. Entering the room, Xiao Huan had already changed into a dry Tsing Yi. Although his hair was half wet, it was tied with a ribbon and hung on his shoulders. A very piercing smile: "Brother Xu has used it for a long time." After all, his own words were frivolous first, so Xu Lai couldn't answer back. He sat down on the large brocade bed in frustration, and without changing his clothes, he supported his swollen head with his hands: "Generally..." Just as he was talking, a steaming cup of herbal tea appeared in front of his eyes. "Relieves the residual poison of tobacco drunkenness," Xiao Huan added with a smile, "I also added some medicine to prevent typhoid fever." Reaching out to take the cup, the warm temperature passed through the porcelain cup to the palm of his hand. Xu Lai drank the potion in one breath, looked at the empty cup in his hand, and said suddenly: "Just now in the bath, I found that the shredded tobacco was drunk, Did you press down on my head before holding your breath?" Slightly stunned for a moment, Xiao Huan didn't answer, just smiled: "Is your head still dizzy? Are you feeling better now?" "Who are you..." Xu Lai lazily shook the cup in his hand, "Always put everyone and things around you more important than yourself. I don't know how you were Raised...even the smell of fireworks is almost gone." After a moment of silence, Xiao Huan smiled: "It's not too much..." "Yes, it's not too much at all. If you go too far, you will directly ascend to immortality..." Xu Lai rested his head on one hand, still lazily, "Do you know why I have to come and follow you? I think this one will soon A half-immortal who doesn't eat fireworks in the world, what should I do if I don't come to look at him again?" Couldn't help laughing, Xiao Huan leaned over and snatched the teacup from his hand: "I think you're quite poisoned, you even uttered drunken words!" Xu Lai also laughed, and continued to argue: "It's not drunk talk! It's all the truth!" "Okay, I understand, it's the truth." Xiao Huan put the teacup on the table with a smile, and sat down while leaning on the edge of the table. After a while, he lowered his hands and spread them out, looked at the scorched marks between his fingers that could not be washed off, and seemed to be talking to himself: "Why is there no smoke, isn't it obviously fireworks?" Maybe because he heard what he said, Xu Lai, who was half leaning on the bed, let out a "chi" and laughed. On the third day of October in the seventh year of Deyou, Chuge Xiaozhu was built in a courtyard of Lingfu in the suburbs of Beijing. "End!" The last chess piece was dropped with great interest, and the middle-aged man in a brown robe put his hands together and smiled: "Guess how many pieces I won against you?" The beauty in white pushed the chessboard with a little frustration, and simply cheated: "I won't count... After all, I can't beat you!" The middle-aged man smiled, and he really didn't want to go to the official house any more. He leisurely picked up a chess piece and tapped it on the chessboard: "Speaking of which, it's been a few years since I saw you. Why did you come to me all of a sudden?" Raising her wrists and supporting her head, the beauty in white showed grace and grace with every move she made: "There's nothing wrong with the left and right sect. Why, brother Li doesn't want to see me?" The middle-aged man laughed: "Are you running on me, aren't you? I'm afraid that you will go to the Three Treasures Hall if you have nothing to do!" The beauty in white also covered her mouth and smiled, jokingly said: "So if I'm really fine, wouldn't I dare to go to your Three Treasures Hall?" She made her laugh for a while, and after a while, the middle-aged man looked up at the floating clouds in the sky, and the chess pieces in his hands were still knocking on the rosewood chessboard in front of him, and said with a crisp impact: "Luomo!" , do you really want to put Huan'er to death?" Unexpectedly, upon hearing such a sentence, the beauty in white froze for a moment, then smiled and said, "Why haven't I heard you call him Huan'er, don't you always call him 'the man on the dragon chair'? " "Anyway, after this child was born, I was the first person to hug him." The middle-aged man said, squinting his eyes, as if immersed in the memories of the past: "I have never seen such a well-behaved child." Ah, neither crying nor fussing, just looking at you with a pair of shining black eyes." After a moment of silence, the beauty in white got up from the table, and there was already a touch of coldness in her voice: "You don't have to think about using such words to provoke me anymore. If you were soft-hearted, I would have been soft seven years ago." As if expecting such a result, the middle-aged man didn't continue, but sighed very lightly, and said lightly, "Luo Mo, he is your biological son." The shoulders only trembled, and the voice of the beauty in white was cold: "Who made him also the son of our Majesty Ruizong?" The middle-aged man stopped talking, and only the low chirping of autumn insects remained in the quiet garden. The white-clothed beauty stretched her wrists towards her waist, and with a flick of her wrist, she already held a soft sword in her hand.The flexible sword body, the shiny sword surface, reflected a strange light green, slightly swaying in the wind, like a willow that has just plucked out its twigs. Putting the soft sword lightly on the stone table, the beauty in white said, "Brother Li, please pass this willow wind to that little girl." She paused for a moment, and then said, "As for how to facilitate the next thing, I believe Brother Li has his own opinion." "Wild willow branches, Fangfei Festival, the hated gift of farewell every year..." Muttering to himself the inscription on the sword, the middle-aged man stroked the smooth, girlish skin of the sword with his fingertips. On this swaying famous sword, the inscriptions written with silver hooks and iron strokes are written in such a sad love poem. "It seems that you have made up your mind." With a faint smile, the middle-aged man lifted his finger away from the sword, "As you wish, Luo Mo, no matter what, I will facilitate that ending." Having received the guarantee, the beauty in white chuckled lightly, and turned sideways, "Then Luo Mo will thank Brother Li." Slightly nodding, watching her beautiful figure disappear in the shade of flowers and trees, the middle-aged man finally lowered his head to look at the long sword on the table, with a slightly bitter smile on the corner of his mouth, muttering to himself: "Don't you ever soften your heart?" ? I hope you never regret it, Luo Mo." Yangliufeng, the only sharp blade that can restrain the emperor's sword Wangfeng according to legend, lay in front of him after being passed down for several generations. Smiling slightly, the most capable staff member in the capital and auxiliary mansion, a middle-aged man in brown clothes called "Mr. Li" by his subordinates, held the three-foot soft sword, flicked his middle finger on the spine of the sword, and made a loud sound. Standing up and holding the sword, he slashed horizontally, his internal strength was everywhere, the green front was carelessly straightened, the sword light passed by the wind, and the fallen leaves were withered and yellow, flying and scattered all over the ground. "What I hate is to give away every year." The sharp sword light reflected the middle-aged man's face, reflecting the sadness hidden in that pale face, "It's been so many years, but I still give away..." He got up, put the sword in his hand, and walked out of the courtyard.He beckoned to a young man who looked like a scribe standing outside the door: "Yuanjiang, go and deliver a letter to Xianxue, telling him to stay in Jiangnan with the eldest lady, and there is no need to come back." The elegant young man smiled and said, "Sir, didn't you ask Mr. Luo to bring Miss back as soon as possible?" "Bring it back as soon as possible, because I was afraid that the entanglement with that person would be too deep, but now I am afraid that the entanglement will not be deep..." Answering the question of his subordinates, the middle-aged man narrowed his deep eyes slightly: "The entanglement is not deep...how could it be possible? Nie Yuan?" Smiling and silent for a while, the young scholar known as "Yuanjiang" smiled again: "I think I have understood." No longer talking to him, the middle-aged man walked away with his hands behind his back. He was in a hurry until he was far away, and he could still see the long sword in his hand, with a bright and bright green light. "Yangliufeng..." said softly, the young man in white smiled lightly, his handsome long eyebrows slightly raised, "So it's evil fate." After finishing speaking, he followed the pace of the middle-aged man and disappeared into the garden in late autumn. Inside the Liuyun Inn outside Wuchang City. Xu Lai first grabbed the wine glass filled with Zhuyeqing on the table, drank it dry in one breath, then let out a sigh of relief, and said to Xiao Huan on the opposite side of the table: "I ordered someone to investigate, you are right, except for the leader , the one who wants to take your life is Jinling Fenglai Pavilion." Fenglai Pavilion... This killer organization established in recent years is mysterious and unpredictable, but the owner of the pavilion, Feng Yuanjiang, has close contacts with Li Lu, the chief assistant of the current dynasty. Nodding his head, Xiao Huan smiled: "Thank you brother in your teaching." "Anyway, if they help you, they're helping me. I don't want to drag myself down with those little guys." Xu Lai waved his hand and asked, "What are you going to do?" After a moment of silence, Xiao Huancai smiled again: "Mr. Ling won't stop until I'm forced to face your leader." Xu Laiting whistled easily: "Then it seems that we still have a lot of bad battles to fight." He smiled again, but Xiao Huan coughed a few more times, without speaking, and brought the wine glass he was holding to his lips. The wine glass that hadn't touched his lips was quickly snatched away by one hand, Xu Lai frowned: "Stop drinking, and don't look at how bad your complexion is!" Still smiling, Xiao Huan didn't argue with him, but just bowed his head on his arm and coughed lightly. Stamping his feet anxiously and angrily, Xu Lai threw the cup in his hand, turned around quickly, and slapped Xiao Huan twice on the back in the same way as he did a few days ago. He coughed again and spit out a mouthful of blood on the ground, but this time Xiao Huan coughed continuously and coughed up two more mouthfuls of blood. Seeing him coughing up blood, Xu Lai was so angry that his hands and feet trembled a little, and he almost couldn't choose what to say: "Don't hold on to your poor health! I can't bear the crime of letting the emperor die at my hands! " The body was almost drained of all the strength by the bursts of chills in the lungs, holding the table and coughing so hard that he couldn't straighten up, Xiao Huan had to raise his head, and forced a smile at Xu Lai: "Don't... worry... you won't die ..." He was stunned for his gaffe just now, Xu Lai touched his face, seeing that Xiao Huan's condition was really bad, regardless of whether he was rude or not, he half-dragged and half-carried him to the bed, saying He said: "I can't die... It's even more frightening to be half-dead!" He was almost dragged and thrown onto the bed by Xu Lai, and when he heard this sentence again, Xiao Huan wanted to laugh but was caught in a breath and couldn't laugh. It took a while to stabilize his breathing, Xiao Huan opened his eyes, and looked at Xu Lai who was standing in front of the bed with his shoulders folded and watching him. There was still a lot of anger on that handsome face, but there was concern in his eyes. Seeing him looking at him, Xu Lai snorted heavily, with an inquiring look in his eyes: "Is it better?" Smiling and nodding, Xiao Huan took a deep breath and said, "I'm Xiao Shi..." "I know, Xiao Yuncong is a pseudonym, and you are from the Suzaku branch of the Xiao family... that person." Xu Lai interrupted him, smiling, "I still can't figure it out after so long, do you think I'm a fool? You called Ling Xuefeng 'Mr. Ling' just now, how many people in this world can call him 'Mr.'?" Also laughed, Xiao Huan coughed lightly and sighed: "You can't wait for me...to explain to you yourself..." Xu Lai frowned: "What are you waiting for? You have to take a breath when you say a word, and I'm not listening to your last words, so what are you waiting for!" After saying a word, both of them laughed. Xu Lai's anger just now passed, he picked up his robe, sat down beside the bed, and said leisurely, "I've heard many rumors, to be honest, I never thought that person would be like this... " "Then... what kind of person should he be?" Xiao Huan also smiled, interjecting lightly. "At least it shouldn't be such a person..." said with a faint smile, Xu Lai shook his head, "I thought that person was sensitive, suspicious, hypocritical, ruthless, arrogant..." After deliberately coughing heavily, Xiao Huan smiled: "It's ok, this is enough..." Xu Lai also laughed, shaking his head with some pride: "Isn't that how the Zaohui emperors who grew up under the coercion of powerful ministers look like this..." He turned his gaze to the pale person on the bed, with his deep eyes closed and his chest still heaving violently, and finally sighed, half-talking to himself, "Why do you want to be like I met you! Meeting you counts as well." I have headache!"
