Chapter 58 Chapter Fifteen

The girl's face is smooth and clean, under the reflection of the white snow, there is the soft light of Hetian white jade, her eyes are as black as ink, her outline is thin, but she has a trace of independent and steady temperament.She is still young and her stature has not yet grown up, but she has a cold temperament like a winter plum in ice and snow, but it permeates from the inside out. The man's eyes narrowed slowly, and he clenched his right hand unconsciously. Under the blood-red sunset, the snow was reddish, and he saw that his middle finger, ring finger and little finger were severed, and he clasped it with a gold finger. Add a little bit of weirdness.

"Call me." The deep voice suddenly echoed in the bleak wind, and the servants on both sides who had already been gearing up immediately gathered around, and a powerful man slapped the girl's cheek fiercely with a palm like a cattail leaf. With a sound of "bang", the slap hit the girl's face unexpectedly, but was held up by her instead. Chu Qiao raised her head and asked in a deep voice with no expression on her face: "Master Wei, you ordered the family to hurt people at will. , should you give me a reason?" "Reason?" Wei Shuyou snorted coldly, with a sly smile on his lips: "The reason is that you, a lowly slave, dare to disagree with my words."

"Mr. Wei, if you have a good memory, you should remember that His Majesty gave me the freedom from slavery in the hunting grounds last month, and I will be the official archery instructor of the Xiaoqiying Camp. You and I are officials in the same court and serve the Great Xia together. I salute you only because I respect you as the son of a powerful clan. Otherwise, with your current status, you are not qualified to accept my kneeling. After all, you have just been dismissed from office, and a commoner dares to be so arrogant in the Holy Gold Palace ?" The girl's face was as sharp as ice and snow, she pushed the big man away, slapped his knees twice, and stood up.

"I still have something to do, so I won't accompany you." "How courageous!" Wei Shuyou snorted coldly, and said in a deep voice, "I'd like to see, I killed you, the archery instructor of the Xiaoqi Camp today, who would dare to avenge you?" "Do it!" As soon as the words fell, the four guards behind Wei Shuyou suddenly stepped forward.Before Chu Qiao could make a move, a guard had already pulled out a long knife from his waist, and slashed at the top of Chu Qiao's head! How could Chu Qiao have imagined that Wei Shuyou would be so courageous today, blatantly carrying a knife without saying anything, and dared to commit murder in the Holy Gold Palace.However, time waits for no one, and the sudden appearance no longer allows her to think about it.

shot!Claw!Take the wrist! There were no fancy moves, just a "click" sound of fractures, and with a flick of a finger, the guard was already on the ground, his hand bones were broken, and he screamed again and again. With a backhand, he snatched the guard's long knife, and as if he had eyes behind him, he flew up and kicked in the air, hitting the guard's chest that was sneaking up from behind.Full of strength, with a muffled thunder, the guard screamed, blood gushed out of his mouth, and staggered back. Immediately afterwards, he shot like lightning, grabbed the wrist of another guard, and swung the long sword with the other hand. The standard ninja sword technique side slashed, stably and fiercely, the sound of clicking continued, and the pain had not yet hit. The two guards had already fallen to the ground!

Almost all the actions took place within a second, and the four skilled guards had already been defeated. All of them were disabled by one move, and they no longer had any fighting power. The long wind blew, and Chu Qiao stood among the scrambled men, with a calm face and a tall and straight figure. She was dressed in long white fur, and she looked even more extraordinary and as cold as snow, as if she hadn't moved from the beginning to the end. She looked at her complexion coldly. The resentful Wei Shuyou said lightly, "Get out of the way." Wei Shuyou's complexion turned blue, the hatred of severed fingers has been tormenting his mind for many years, like a poisonous snake, it made him lose his usual calmness and self-control.

"Kill her for me!" The deep voice was like an innocent soul from hell, and the long wind blew through the Taoist path, crossed between the high walls on both sides, and rolled up a large swirl of snow. More than a dozen guards in green clothes stepped forward at once, put one knee on the ground, squatted halfway in front of Wei Shuyou, poked their wrists behind, and took out a row of crossbow arrows from the fur like a magic trick! Chu Qiao frowned, and cautiously took half a step back.Wei Shuyou came into the palace with a bow and crossbow, what does this mean?Is it the expansion of the power of the Wei Clan after Zhao Qi gained power, or did he have some special imperial order to carry weapons into the palace?

Before he had time to think, a round of crossbows shot towards Chu Qiao. The close-range shooting made these crossbows very powerful. With a thunderous aura, they whizzed through the cold wind and came towards where Chu Qiao was standing! Chu Qiao dodged and fell to the ground, rolled on the spot, and came to the big man whose hand bones were crushed before, and grabbed his collar, only to hear the sound of puffing in his ears, blood spattering, the big man even screamed Without even a chance, he was shot into a sieve, covered in blood holes, and fell to the ground. Chu Qiao used her strength to kick the big man's body hard. The big man's body rose into the air, and with a bang, it hit the crossbowmen in front of them, disrupting their formation.Chu Qiao took the opportunity to step forward with lightning speed, her hands were wrongly separated, she was almost at the peak, she pulled and dragged, and then bumped!The moment the wrist bone broke, the girl clasped the head of a big man, jumped up into the air, and kicked sideways on the chest of another guard who came forward with a howl. Her body fell, and with a swish, she tore off a handful of the big man's hair!

Everyone was already dumbfounded, the cruel hand-to-hand combat left their bows and crossbows completely without a chance to show their power, the girl's ruthless methods and calm and calm face roared like a nightmare, and everywhere she went was a mess.No matter how many guards there are, they can't be faster than her hands, which are crippling and ruthless. Behind her, the twisted bodies of big men are already lying in disorder, and so far, no one has touched her. A skirt. It wasn't until this moment that everyone deeply understood what it means to be one man in charge of the gate, and ten thousand husbands can't open it.Although at this moment, standing in front of them is only a thin and thin young girl.

The big men's shots gradually weakened, their courage turned cold, and their faces turned blue. The opponent's professional fighting skills and fierce attack methods made these guards who usually claimed to be good close combat fighters tear their hearts apart. In the blink of an eye, Chu Qiao was already in front of her. Wei Shuyou's eyes showed a trace of panic for the first time, and he hurriedly drew the sword at his waist, but the next second, Chu Qiao kicked the two guards in front of him flying away. hand to him. Chu Qiao's hands looked even more terrifying than the guillotine at the moment, and the subordinates of the Wei Clan who had seen the powerful erupted in an instant with noble sentiments of loyalty and protection of the lord, and two guards came out from behind, slashing at them with their knives.

Incredibly fast!The girl turned around in an instant, jumped up in the air, and kicked a big man in the neck. This kick was so powerful that the man flew upside down and bumped into other guards all the way, rolling all over the place like a sweet potato. . Taking advantage of this time, Wei Shuyou retreated quickly under the two guards. When Chu Qiao turned around, she had already retreated two positions. No matter how fast Ren Chuqiao was, it was impossible for her arms to be so long. The sound of hurried footsteps in the distance suddenly sounded. The actions just now must have alarmed the guards of the palace. Wei Shuyou, who was originally majestic and about to wipe out the grass, suddenly felt shamefully happy. Then, at this moment, a blue shadow suddenly appeared, and the blue cotton cloth flew in the air. Wei Shuyou's neck shuddered, and a blue and white black iron sword light stopped firmly in his throat! The wind is howling, and the snow is flying! The girl was dressed in white fox fur, with flying ink hair, her eyes were as black as ink, she lowered her head slightly, squinted her eyes slightly, and looked coldly at the stunned young master of the Wei faction, her eyes and eyebrows were full of undisguised contempt . "Stop!" Song Que, the former guard of the city gate, came forward coldly with his troops, and said in a deep voice, "Whoever dares to be so presumptuous in the imperial city, stop!" Chu Qiao looked coldly at the blue-faced Wei Shuyou, her face was calm, with a trace of sarcasm in her eyes, she snorted coldly, withdrew her sword with a swish, and stood with her head held high. "Song General," Wei Shuyou tried to calm his panting, and said in a deep voice, "What is her identity, why can she carry weapons in the imperial city?" Song Que frowned slowly when he saw that he didn't say why he used force in the imperial city, but was entangled in the matter of weapons.But although he is stubborn, he is not a fool. If he wants to settle down in the court of the imperial capital, how can he survive if he offends the powerful family?Song Que suppressed the displeasure in his heart, turned to look at Chu Qiao, and said, "Miss Chu, should you explain why you carry weapons in the imperial city?" Chu Qiao raised her eyebrows lightly, and looked at the sword in Wei Shuyou's hand and the knives and crossbows scattered all over the place, her meaning was self-evident: there were also people with weapons. Song Que's face turned red, and before he could speak, Wei Shuyou yelled coldly: "What is your status, you dare to compare with me. Not only are you carrying weapons in the imperial city, but you dare to be rough on me, I don't see anyone else today Dare to excuse you. General Song Shen, how do you think this matter should be handled?" Song Que frowned, but he didn't dare to offend the young master of the Wei family who had changed his temperament since he cut off his finger. He was about to speak when a clear voice suddenly sounded behind him. Everyone was stunned and turned their heads. "I asked her to take this sword." The dark war horse, tall and straight, approached slowly. Zhuge Yue was dressed in long sable fur with a gloomy face. He rode his horse and walked slowly. When he came to the crowd, he didn't dismount at all. Instead, he sat on the horse, looked at the girl below, stretched out his hand, and said in a deep voice: "Would you like How long do I wait? Give me." Chu Qiao didn't say a word, she fixedly looked into Zhuge Yue's indifferent eyes.The cold wind blows, blowing along the intersecting eyes of the two, like an ancient wind blowing the track of time, those doubts, those temptations, and those hatreds are all stone monuments stuck in place on the track, which will never die .It seemed like a long time had passed, but in fact it was only a moment. Chu Qiao stretched out her hand, and slowly, like the Shangyuan Lantern Festival many years ago, she handed over the sword in her palm. "General Song, that's what I asked you to call her just now. I have a sword in the Yingge Courtyard of Prince Yan. I just asked this maid to get the sword." Song Que nodded respectfully: "So that's the case, my subordinates are busy." Zhuge Yue turned his eyes around the big man lying on the ground in a mess, and said slowly without changing his face: "I told you to get the sword, but you are here to learn martial arts with the subordinates of the Wei family. You really are lawless, Yan Is this how the son disciplines his servants?" Learn martial arts? Wei Shuyou's expression changed, and he became angry immediately. Just as he was about to speak, Zhuge Yue suddenly turned his head, looked at him calmly, and said in a deep voice, "Mr. Wei, I will take this person away first. This matter is caused by me , I will definitely visit the door some other day.” After all, he turned around and left. "This matter has nothing to do with the fourth young master Zhuge. What is the reason for the fourth young master to force himself on me like this?" Wei Shuyou snorted coldly, and said in a gloomy voice. Zhuge Yue turned around and frowned slightly: "Young Master Wei, are you saying that I have ulterior motives and meddling in my own business?" "You have just been promoted to be a leader with a sword, and you can't wait to equip your own guards with bows and crossbows to walk in the imperial city. Mr. Wei, your movements are too fast." Wei Shuyou was furious, but before he could say anything, Zhuge Yue continued, "It's not good for you to spread the news today, Mr. Wei, you come from a wealthy family, so you should understand the seriousness of the relationship, distinguish between the primary and secondary, and understand Serious or not. So rash and reckless, even if Mr. Wei Guang is here today, he will not be happy." Wei Shuyou's eyes were red, his lips were blue, but he stopped talking. How could he not understand the pros and cons of this, he just held his breath in his heart for seven years, and every time he met, it was like a fire burning his heart, and he couldn't bear it. "let's go." Zhuge Yue said slowly, turned around and walked away.Song Que sent him off in a low voice, Chu Qiao glanced at Wei Shuyou's almost fire-breathing eyes, and followed Zhuge Yue. The sky is snowing heavily, the sun is setting, and night is falling.On both sides of the long Taoist path, there was snow constantly blowing up and down, Chu Qiao followed Zhuge Yue, and gradually disappeared in the fluttering snow. Wei Shuyou clenched his teeth, then suddenly shouted angrily, kicked a subordinate on the stomach, and left in a rage. The secluded green lake has been covered by heavy snow at the moment, the scenery on both sides is like in a painting, carved corridors and jade trees, and the snow is shining white. An exquisite stone arch bridge spans the lake, leading to an octagonal pavilion in the center of the lake. In the pavilion, stood two figures. The man was dressed in sable fur, with a handsome face, sword eyebrows and star eyes, and a slightly evil look on his face.The girl is only fifteen or sixteen years old, and she is wearing a white fox fur, which makes her look more and more graceful and elegant, extraordinary and refined. These two people were exactly Zhuge Yue and Chu Qiao who had just left Taoism. "I didn't mean to save you, it's just that I gave you your saber, and it happened that Wei Shuyou didn't like it, so you don't have to be grateful to me." The woman raised her head with a cold expression: "I didn't mean to thank you." Zhuge Yue smiled: "Still so stubborn, seven years have passed, it seems that Yan Xun has not taught you what is tactful." "It's the same for you. It seems that the sages on Wolong Mountain didn't teach you what stupidity is, and you are still so arrogant." As soon as the words fell, Zhuge Yue raised his eyebrows, his body suddenly rose from the ground, and he retreated sharply.At the same time, the girl who was standing safely in the same place rushed forward like lightning, her steps were strange, her movements were agile, and she was a small grabbing hand, moving forward swiftly.Zhuge Yue stretched out his arms to block it, and spread his arms apart, grabbing at the girl's wrist.Chu Qiao retracted nimbly, kicked before turning over, and landed outside the pavilion immediately, her feet stepped on the frozen lake, and the white snow all over the ground rose into the air in an instant. A remnant red long sword wrapped in green cloth was pulled out, the blade was sharp, the brilliance flashed, and the sword swayed like a dragon, and the strange style of fighting also included the moves of opening and closing, stirring up the snow all over the sky, lingering and lingering. dance. Zhuge Yue didn't have a weapon at hand, so he snapped off a plum branch that was in full bloom beside the pavilion, and the white plum blossoms suddenly went up to him. Looking from afar, I can see that in the wind and snow, above the frozen green lake, the snow is vast, and the ground is silvery white. Two vigorous shadows are fighting together, their moves are fierce, but they have an indescribable elegance. beauty.The long wind swept across, the sky and the earth were filled with snow and mist, and the plum blossoms on both sides of the bank fluttered down, red and white, and together with the heavy snow, they flew and entangled in the mid-air together. Chu Qiao's white fox fur rolled upside down in the wind, and the three-foot green front and the swimming dragon scrambled against each other. For a while, they were evenly matched with Zhuge Yue. At this moment, for some reason, his feet slipped suddenly, his footing became unsteady, the long sword was hit by Zhuge Yue, and he flew out of his hand in an instant.Chu Qiao was shocked, put one hand on the ground, and was about to stand up, but at this moment, there was a sudden cracking sound under her feet, the vibration was too strong, the ice layer cracked, and the cold lake water seeped out.The girl was taken aback, and let out a low cry, but it was too late to turn around and escape, her body trembled, and she fell down. It was too late and then soon, Zhuge Yue's face darkened, and his body was shocked for an instant, he grabbed Chu Qiao's arm, held it tightly, and suddenly exerted strength, and pulled it back. "You're still so stupid!" In the blink of an eye, a cold dagger was firmly pressed against Zhuge Yue's throat. The girl's eyes were fierce, and the corner of her mouth sneered: "You were fooled by me before, but now seven years have passed, and you still haven't made any progress. ?" Zhuge Yue smiled coldly, curled his lips in disdain: "Are you sure you will always be so confident?" It was also a sharp dagger, held in Zhuge Yue's palm, the blade pressed tightly against Chu Qiao's vest, and with a little hesitation, he hit the vital point. Tit for tat!Evenly matched!It was such a close call! The cold wind suddenly blew, mixed with icy wind and snow, blowing on the faces of the two of them. They were very close, they breathed each other, and their skins touched each other. You can only feel the snow and plum blossoms in the place, how tense the atmosphere is. "Zhuge Yue, the enmity between you and me is as deep as the ocean and will never be resolved. I will not kill you today because I don't want to hurt Yan Xun. I will store your head on your neck for the time being. As long as I live day, it does not belong to you for a day." Zhuge Yue sneered: "It's up to you?" "It's up to me!" Chu Qiao said in a sonorous voice, "The children of the Jing family will not die in vain." "Okay!" Released it, turned back, picked up the broken red long sword on the ground, Zhuge Yue stood under the plum tree, and said coldly: "I will wait for you, when you have this ability , come back and get the sword back.” The north wind blew violently, Chu Qiao stood at the same spot, watching Zhuge Yue's back gradually receding, and the palms beside her were gradually clenched. Everything just now was just a play. Now that the return date is approaching, how can there be time to entangle with the Zhuge family?Back then, Zhuge Yue let him off, didn't reveal her identity, but let Xiao Ba act as a scapegoat, and was killed by Ling Chi as the murderer who assassinated Mrs. Zhuge, so now his return is the beginning of the crisis. Just let him wait, and wait for him to take revenge. As long as he doesn't take the initiative to attack or reveal his identity, he can buy Yan Xun precious time. Believe it or not, it was worth the risk. The cold plum blossoms are in full bloom, the setting sun is like blood, and the woman's thin figure stands on the empty lake, looking so sad yet so strong. Zhuge Yue didn't look back, his brows were tightly furrowed, his eyes were deep, and there were fierce sharp edges colliding back and forth inside. "This person can no longer stay." Walking out of the plum garden, the young master of Zhuge's family raised his face slowly, letting the snow all over the sky sprinkle on his cheeks. Time is running out, he can no longer passively wait for others to come to his door, nor can he give others this time and opportunity to grow. "Xing'er, do you think Zhuge Yue is still the Fourth Young Master seven years ago?" After seven years of hard work, struggling to survive in the midst of human hearts and cunning, and seeing too many bloody disputes among relatives, will he still be as credulous as before? "Master." Zhu Cheng stepped forward and presented a sealed letter. Zhuge Yue tore open the envelope, and after reading it, he lit the torch, burned the letter, and said in a deep voice, "What did he say?" "He said that he is willing to become an ally with the young master, and as long as things are done, he will never treat Zhuge Clan badly." "Heh," Zhuge Yue sneered, "Little wolf cub, I'm still sitting in the mud ditch and started dreaming about flying to the sky for rewards. I'd rather lift up Zhao Che than watch him grow up." "However, we can use him to drive a wedge between Zhao Che and Mu He." Zhuge Yue raised his eyebrows: "Father said so?" Zhu Cheng nodded: "Yes." "Okay." Throwing away the burnt paper ashes, Zhuge Yue stared at the flying ashes on the ground and murmured: "Zhao Yang, the fourteenth son of the emperor..." "Master," Zhu Cheng called Zhuge Yue who was about to leave, and said in a low voice, "Xing'er, she..." "Send someone to keep an eye on it, if there is any change," said here, and paused slightly: "Just act according to the original plan." After all, he walked forward, Zhu Cheng froze in place, the original plan, what original plan, to kill? At this time, the person who had just left suddenly stopped, turned around, and said in a low voice: "Remember, you must stay alive." Startled by his own thoughts, Zhu Cheng suddenly knelt on the ground and shouted: "Your servant obeys." The wind was blowing, and when he raised his head, the person in front of him had disappeared. Chu Qiao stood for a while, and then left the plum garden alone. On the other side of the green lake, the flowers and trees were shaking, and the pines and trees stood up. The figures of Ah Jing and Yan Xun walked out slowly. "Ah Jing, did Zhuge Yue find out when you led him to Taoism just now?" "No," Ah Jing replied firmly, "The subordinates are very careful." Yan Xun nodded, and said in a low voice, "That's good." "My lord," Ah Jing frowned suspiciously, "Why are you so sure that Zhuge Yue will help the girl out?" "Hehe," Yan Xun smiled lightly, "I think he himself is also wondering about this question, why would he help Ah Chu out?" Yan Xun said in a deep voice that Ah Jing couldn't understand: "In this world, maybe I am the only one who understands him and understands why he would do this." "Ah Jing, you have to cheer up from now on. Zhuge's family has already been involved. The situation is even more complicated. The number of night watchmen has to be tripled. Once found, there will be no mercy." Ah Jing was stunned: "Kill? My son, is this okay?" "Don't worry, it's absolutely possible, because even if they die, no one dares to speak out. The deeper and more chaotic this pool is, the better for us." Yan Xun raised his head, looked at the gray sky, and murmured: "It's time to act."
