Chapter 20 Chapter 18 Xiaoxue Walks Alone

When the two came to the attic in the garden, the maid Yanhong said that the princess hadn't gotten up yet.Chen Jingchou told her about Xiaoxue's disappearance.Yan Hong was also surprised, she hurriedly asked Xiao Xiao to serve the princess, and found a few servants herself, and together with Chen Jingchou and Tuoba Yuer, they searched around the Dugu Palace, but they searched the Dugu Palace all over, but they couldn't find it. There is no trace of Yu Xiaoxue.Chen Jingchou was about to go out to search, Yan Hong said: "Young Master Chen, we might as well wait for the princess to get up and let her send guards to go out to look for it! This way we will find Miss Xiaoxue faster." Chen Jingchou was anxious, he could wait there, and Tuoba Yu'er turned around and ran towards the street.

In Chang'an City, the streets are criss-crossing and the houses are shoulder to shoulder. There are tens of thousands of them.The two walked through the streets and alleys, wandering around the city for half a day, but there was no trace of Yu Xiaoxue.Chen Jingqiu asked everyone if he had seen a little white-haired girl, but no one knew.The two were so tired that they were sweating profusely, so they had no choice but to return to Dugu Palace. It was already noon at this time, Dugu Ning Ke had already woken up, and Chen Jingchou roughly told her about Yu Xiaoxue's disappearance.Dugu Ning Ke was even more anxious, and hurriedly dispatched capable people to search for it.Several hours later, the spies reported that Yan Hong got the news, and hurried into the attic, shouting: "Miss, miss! It's not good..."

Dugu Ning Ke hurriedly turned her head and said, "What's the matter? You're so flustered! Say it!" Yanhong said: "Grand Master Yuwen... Grand Master Yuwen has snatched Fuxiqin back from Dunhuang!" Dugu Ning Ke was startled.Yanhong glanced at Chen Jingchou and Tuoba Yu'er, hesitated for a moment, and said: "And, just now, the spies in the grand master's mansion reported that there was a white-haired girl who went to seek refuge with Grand Master Yuwen last night! "As soon as this remark came out, not only Chen Jingchou, Tuoba Yu'er, but even Dugu Ning Ke were shocked.

Chen Jingchou couldn't believe his ears, and said: "What?...This...This is absolutely impossible!" Dugu Ningke winked in doubt.Yan Hong lowered her head and said: "The spy also said that she hid the divine cauldron and the divine seal elsewhere in advance, and she took Grand Master Yuwen to fetch them just now!" Chen Jingchou said urgently: "Impossible, impossible—the Princess, this is impossible!" Dugu Ning Ke stood up, turned around and looked out the window, counting silently: "One, two, three, four , five..." Turning back, he said: "Fuxiqin, Shennong Ding, Kongtong Yin, Kunlun Mirror, Nuwa Stone—the five artifacts of the Qinding Yinjing Stone were all assembled by Yu Wentuo, and this is terrible!" Chen Jingchou still needs to explain.

Dugu Ning Ke frowned, and said anxiously: "It's over, everything is over now—I really didn't expect that I still couldn't stop Grand Master Yuwen at the end!" Tuoba Yu'er said: "Princess, I'm sorry... Xiaoxue took away the divine cauldron and the divine seal, but the mirror stone is in our hands! No matter how powerful Grand Master Yuwen is, he can't make a ninety-five formation!" A trace of anger flashed across Dugu Ning Ke's face, and said: "Your Kunlun mirror and Nuwa stone are all fake, fake——" Chen Jingchou didn't understand, so he said: "What fake?——" Dugu Ning Ke didn't answer, and murmured: "Damn it, I'm so mad—all previous efforts have been wasted!" With her belt fluttering, she turned and went out.

Chen Jingchou and Tuoba Yu'er stood alone in the hall, not knowing what to do.Tuoba Yu'er said: "I've never seen the princess get so angry, it seems that this time is really a big deal!" Chen Jingchou pondered: "Now only by finding Xiaoxue can we find out whether the artifact is her or not. I took it away." The two discussed for a while, and decided to go to the Grand Master's Mansion first to see what clues they could find. Going eastward, I arrived at the Grand Master's Mansion not long after.I saw a row of soldiers standing in front of the gate of the mansion. Everyone was fully clothed and held a long halberd, as if they were facing a big enemy.A school lieutenant saw the two of them, and hurriedly raised his knife to drink away.The two retreated a few steps and circled around the mansion wall, only to see a sentry post every three steps, and a post every five steps. The security was extremely strict, which was quite different from what they saw last time.Chen Jingchou secretly felt that there was something different, and he and Tuoba Yu'er went back to the gate of the Grand Master's Mansion, retreated far away to the side of the street, hid behind a tree, and watched the movement in front of the Grand Master's Mansion.

Not long after, there was only the sound of horseshoes, mixed with the sound of shouting, the two turned their heads and saw two soldiers riding fast horses, galloping towards the Grand Master's Mansion.As the horseshoes passed by, pedestrians were running around in all directions on the street, yelling and making a mess everywhere.Several pedestrians dodged a little slowly, and were kicked down by the horseshoe.After a while, when they arrived at the gate of the mansion, the two soldiers flew off their horses and hurried inward.After a meal, the two soldiers came out of the door again, jumped on their horses, whipped their soft whips, and hurried to the west of the city.

Chen Jingchou winked, and Tuoba Yuer understood.The two breathed a sigh of relief and chased westward.Fortunately, there were many pedestrians in the city, bustling and bustling, although the two soldiers yelled and cursed loudly, they couldn't hurry up.Chen Jingchou and Tuoba Yu'er jumped onto the roof, took a short cut and cut westward, after a while, they rushed ahead of the two soldiers.Seeing that the two soldiers were galloping towards the west gate, they hurriedly leaped out of the city wall, rushed ahead, and lay down in the grass beside the road.After a while, only the horseshoe got it.

Chen Jingchou looked up, the road was full of dust, it was the two soldiers galloping towards him.Chen Jingchou picked up a round stone with each hand, stayed close to it, saw it accurately, and threw it with all his strength.Only two screams of "Ah Yo" were heard, and the two soldiers fell off their horses at the same time, and fell to the ground, covered in dust.Chen Jing and Qiu Fei stepped forward and pointed at him with his long sword.The two soldiers fell with bruised noses and swollen faces, pain in their bodies, and anger in their hearts, but their swords were pressed against their chests, let alone move a little, they didn't even dare to groan.Tuoba Yu'er shook the long sword, and the cold light trembled.The two soldiers were so frightened that they trembled all over, their hands and feet were sore.

Chen Jingchou shouted: "What were you doing at the Grand Master's Mansion just now? Tell me quickly!" He handed the tip of the sword half an inch forward.The soldier was scared out of his wits, and hurriedly knelt down and said, "Hero, spare your life! I...I..." Tuoba Yu'er shouted: "Don't be a mother-in-law, tell me quickly! If you dare to hide half a word, hum!" With a wave of the sword, there was a click, and a big tree beside the mouth of a bowl was cut in two, and fell with a bang, with branches and leaves flying, and dust all over the sky. "This tree is your end!" The two soldiers were stunned, how could they dare to hide a word, and tremblingly said: "We are the subordinates of General Han Teng, General Han ordered us to report to Grand Master Yuwen, It is said that the army has already moved towards Lingwu County and will arrive in a few days."

Both Chen Jingchou and Tuoba Yu'er were startled, and when they asked again, the two soldiers kowtowed, their foreheads were bleeding, and they cried that they were just delivering letters, and that was all they really knew.The two backed away a few steps, and Tuoba Yu'er said: "Oops, Ah Qiu, isn't this Lingwu County a town on the hexagonal star formation in that map?" Chen Jingchou speculated for a while, and said: "Yes. , this meaning can't be more clear, Grand Master Yuwen is going to start running the Wanling Blood Formation again." Tuoba Yu'er said: "Well... According to the map, this is the sixth and last time!" Chen Jingchou pondered for a while, and said, "Sister Yu'er, we must stop them!" Tuoba Yu'er said: "I thought so too, but about Xiaoxue..." Chen Jingchou said: "I believe that Xiaoxue is innocent, and the person who stole the artifact is definitely not Xiaoxue! ——If Grand Master Yuwen is allowed to complete the sixth Wanling Blood, then we will really be too late for anything! I can't stop Grand Master Yuwen's plot anymore!" After a pause, "Besides, I don't know how many people's lives will be taken away by this Wanling blood!" Tuoba Yu'er said: "You are right...then listen to you, Let's go to Lingwu first!" Chen Jingchou said: "Well, it's not too late, let's go right away!" Tuoba Yu'er turned around and walked in front of the soldiers, the two soldiers knelt on the ground and trembled.Tuoba Yu'er lifted the long sword and was about to cut it off. Chen Jingchou hurriedly said: "Sister Yu'er!" Tuoba Yu'er turned her head, understood what she meant, put her sword back into its sheath, and shouted to the two soldiers: "You two! I will spare you today, Get out!" The two soldiers stood up and waited to get on their horses as if they were being amnesty. Tuoba Yu'er gave them a hard look.The two soldiers understood, quickly abandoned their horses, ran eastward, and fled back to the city. Tuoba Yu'er led the horse over and said, "Ah Qiu, let's go! Grand Master Yuwen's army is about to chase after him!" Chen Jingchou agreed.The two flew on their horses, raised their long whips, and galloped westward. When they arrived at the pass a few days ago, the guards were still waiting to step forward to stop them, but Chen Jingchou and Tuoba Yu'er whipped them one by one, knocked them to the ground, and they rushed out of the pass.After a few more days, the surrounding area is already a vast desert, uninhabited, and extremely hot.After crossing the desert and traveling northwest for several days, we arrived at Lingwu. Lingwu County was originally a post station in the northwest, located at the southern foot of Helan Mountain, on the east bank of the Yellow River, bordering the Hetao area in the north, bordering the Guanlong counties in the south, and not far from the Great Wall in the north.It has always been the main road of trade and the important town of military defense.When Chen Jingchou and others entered the city, they saw earthen houses and white tents, and there were many merchants coming and going in and out of the pass. The roadsides were full of people selling leather and iron wares.From time to time, small groups of troops can be encountered on the street.Chen Jingchou asked the locals, and the residents were also unknown, so many soldiers and horses appeared overnight, thinking that there was going to be a war.Chen Jingchou and Tuoba Yu'er inquired on the street for a long time, and just now they heard from several officers and soldiers that the army was stationed at the foot of the mountain in the northwest.The two of them were tired from the long journey for the past few days, and they agreed to go to the military camp tomorrow, have a big meal in the town, and each of them had a rest that night. On the second day, when the sky was slightly bright, the two of them got up, got on their horses and rushed to the northwest.It was almost noon, and the official army camp could be seen from a distance.The two of them galloped up to the top of the hill, stood on the hillside and looked down. They saw the soldiers in the camp like a forest, the horses galloping back and forth, the dust covered the sky, and they didn't know how many troops had come.It can be seen that Grand Master Yuwen attaches great importance to this last Wan Lingxue and does not allow any mistakes.The two saw the layout of the camp clearly, hid their horses, and sneaked in from the side of the camp with light effort.Using the tent as a cover, he arrived at the tent of the commander of the Chinese army in a short time.The two of them leaned on the opposite side of the tent, and they saw that there was an empty space in front of the tent of the Chinese army commander. In the center of the space, a blood formation of all spirits had been laid out. There was a man in the middle, wearing a crimson cloak, with white beard and hair, it was Han Han. Teng.Han Teng raised his hands high, as if he was about to push the formation into motion.Chen Jingchou winked, and Tuoba Yu'er drew their weapons and flew out. Chen Jing's tongue burst into thunder, and he shouted: "Stop!" Han Teng was startled, and was about to turn around.Chen Jingchou had already killed the guards around him.Tuoba Yu'er stepped forward with a straight sword, and said: "It seems that we have finally caught up this time!" Han Teng put down his hands, furious in his heart, and said coldly: "Hmph...it's you brats again! How dare you go against my army everywhere!" Chen Jingchou yelled, "Where is Master Yuwen?" Han Teng said: "You little thieves need to be dealt with by Mr. Yuwen himself? Mr. Yuwen personally guards the artifact in Beijing this time, and I will execute the blood formation of all spirits on his behalf—" Tuoba Yu'er swung his sword, Said: "You outrageous people, quickly withdraw from the blood formation! Maybe I can spare you!" Han Teng laughed loudly, and said, "Master Yuwen expected that you would come to hinder us! If you want to withdraw the formation, first ask the ax in the general's hand!" As soon as the words fell, Han Teng took a giant ax that was as tall as a man from his side, and put it in a stance.Chen Jingchou shouted loudly, and stabbed straight with his sword like lightning.Han Teng was not one to wait for nothing, he responded to the battle calmly, saw the blade approaching him, turned his body slightly to avoid the tip of the sword, and at the same time raised his ax to chop at Chen Jingchou's waist.Chen Jingchou hastily turned back his sword, rolled away on the ground, but couldn't use the second move. Tuoba Yu'er also attacked with a move of chasing the stars and breaking the moon, swords and axes interlaced, and sparks flew everywhere.Chen Jingchou jumped up and rushed behind Han Teng.Han Teng met the enemy back and forth without flinching.He suddenly leaned over, turned the huge ax into a white circle, and swept across the two people's feet.After forcing the two of them back half a step, they jumped out and stood aside.Chen Jingchou used a move to fight against the stars in the dense forest, the tip of the sword flickered like stars, and rushed towards Han Teng.Han Teng snorted, but didn't block the fight. He reached forward with his right hand and shouted fiercely. The huge ax whipped up a gust of wind and slashed towards Chen Jingchou.The handle of the ax was extremely long, before Chen Jingchou could get close to his sword, Han Teng's huge ax was already in front of him.Chen Jingchou hastily raised his sword to block it, only to hear a loud bang, both of them felt numb in their palms, each withdrew their weapons and took a step back.As soon as Han Teng stood firm, he swung his ax and slashed over. Chen Jingchou winked at Tuoba Yu'er, and the two of them combined their swords together and used the technique of water and fire. The sword came out like a rainbow, surpassing a galloping horse, and rushed towards Han Teng.Hearing several clangs, Han Teng Fangjia opened up Ba Yu'er's long sword, and was brought by Chen Jingqiu's sword due to a negligence, a gash was opened in his right arm, and blood gushed out.Chen Jingchou and Tuoba Yu'er went around and surrounded Han Teng tightly.Han Teng showed no sign of fear on his face, he endured the severe pain in his right arm, and swung his ax to guard the door.There is a dark elbow in my heart, I am already old, if I don't knock down the opponent in a few moves, I am afraid that it will last for a long time, and I will not be able to support it.With a sudden shout, he raised the huge ax high above the head, danced into a ball of white light, and slashed at Chen Jingchou and others like crazy. Both Chen Jingchou and Tuoba Yu'er were startled, and took a step back.Han Teng tried his best to push Chen Jingchou and Tuoba Yu'er to the edge of the open space.Chen Jingchou saw that there was no way to retreat, so Han Teng rushed forward again, and hurriedly swung the long sword with his right hand, only to see a white light flicker, and the blade of the sword was already slightly on the handle of the axe.The giant ax came slightly sideways, and whizzed down from Chen Jingchou's right cheek.Chen Jingchou felt a sharp pain on his face, and hit Han Teng's chest with his palm.This palm condenses the highest cultivation level of Guigu Daoshu Water Elephant, and its power is extraordinary.Han Teng was shocked, and quickly threw down the giant axe, reaching out to block it.There was a muffled bang, and the two of them each took a few steps back.Chen Jingchou only felt the qi and blood in his chest churning, he quickly raised his long sword, guarded the door, held his breath and adjusted his breath.Han Teng persisted for a while, covered his chest, and spat out a big mouthful of blood. Tuoba Yu'er took a step forward and said, "Old General, Wan Lingxue has harmed the people and poisoned the living beings. If you promise to give up Wanlingxue this time, we will not continue to embarrass you!" Han Teng looked up to the sky and laughed loudly, and shouted: "Ignorant child, I would have galloped on the battlefield for decades, and I would have ignored life and death! Just because of you, you also want me to give up my blood, so don't have this spring and autumn dream!" Haha Laughing, turned around and limped towards Zhenxin. Tuoba Yu'er was furious, and said: "Since this is the case, then I have to offend!" He jumped up and stabbed Han Teng's back with his sword.That Han Teng didn't look back, he just walked forward.The blade was about to pierce Han Teng's vest, when suddenly a white light flashed obliquely, and Tuoba Yu'er felt a blur in front of her eyes, and a huge force threw herself back. Chen Jingchou hurriedly stepped forward to help him up, the two of them looked back, they couldn't help being stunned.Yu Xiaoxue was already standing beside the formation, holding an iron ring in her hand to protect Han Teng, with a nervous expression, she said, "Sister Tuoba, please don't hurt Old General Han!" Chen Jingchou walked up a few steps and shouted: "Xiaoxue!..." Han Teng had turned around, covered his wound, and said with a smile: "Well done, Miss Xiaoxue! I would like to thank you for saving my life! —— The time is almost over, you come to cover, so that I can finish this last Wanling blood as soon as possible!" Yu Xiaoxue agreed in a low voice.Han Teng turned around, staggered to the center of the formation, and began to cast spells. Tuoba Yu'er said: "Damn it, don't even think about—" Flying forward, he raised his sword and attacked Han Teng.Suddenly a figure flashed from the side, and before Tuoba Yu'er could react, her wrist felt a pain, she let go of the long sword, and she flew backwards, falling heavily to the ground.Chen Jingchou ran over and shouted: "Sister Yu'er—" Tuoba Yu'er only felt pain all over her body, supported by Chen Jingchou, she barely got up.At this time, Han Teng had activated the formation, and the formation was full of red light. Tuoba Yu'er said anxiously: "Ah Qiu! Leave me alone! Stop him quickly, hurry up!" Chen Jingchou gritted his teeth, the long sword danced into a white wall, flew forward, and just entered the formation.Yu Xiaoxue leaned forward to block it, and saw the blue shadow shaking, as fast as lightning, like a ghost.In an instant, Chen Jingchou's long sword also flew out, and his body was blocked back out of the formation. Chen Jingchou sat down on the ground and said in shock: "Xiaoxue, you—" Suddenly red light gathered from all sides, Han Teng withdrew his right hand, holding a blood-red ball in his palm.Chen Jingchou was shocked, and shouted at Han Teng: "You—" Han Teng turned around, walked to Yu Xiaoxue's side, and said, "Okay, Miss Xiaoxue... the sixth Wanling Blood Bead has been obtained ! Let's go!" Yu Xiaoxue nodded, turned around, and was about to walk back to the tent. Chen Jingchou shouted: "Xiaoxue, what's wrong with you—come here quickly, and go back with us!" Han Teng turned around, took a few steps forward, and shouted: "Small brats, don't be ignorant of what's good! ——I'm going to do this today for the sake of Miss Xiaoxue, so I'll spare your lives, don't try to make progress!" Chen Jingchou shouted: "I want to take her with me—" Han Teng laughed loudly, and said, "Miss Xiaoxue is our lord Yuwen's distinguished guest! She has already turned her back on the dark side, how can she be with you monsters and rebels again? "Chen Jingchou was furious, picked up the long sword, and said: "No matter what, I must take her back today!" Swinging the sword, he wanted to attack.Han Teng stood still, and said coldly: "I may lose to you, but do you really think that you can get out of these 100,000 soldiers alive? Get out of here before the general changes his mind!" "He raised his hand and shouted: "Come here, send these two people out of the camp!" Turn around and go to the account with Yu Xiaoxue.Chen Jingchou yelled: "Xiaoxue! Xiaoxue!" He stepped forward with his sword straightened.The officers and soldiers had already swarmed up and surrounded the two of them, staring at each other with hundreds of spears pointing at them.Chen Jingchou raised his sword, wanting to fight to the death.Tuoba Yu'er hastily stepped forward and grabbed him, dragging him out of the camp. After leaving the camp, Tuoba Yu'er found the horse, and the two of them got on the horse and walked back and forth.Chen Jingchou was downcast and taciturn along the way, thinking that not only he failed to stop Grand Master Yuwen, but even his closest companions sacrificed himself and left, his heart hurt like a knife.I just feel that the road ahead is long and will never come to an end.Tuoba Yu'er was also puzzled, she really couldn't figure out why Yu Xiaoxue wanted to help Grand Master Yuwen, and after seeing her for a few days, her skill has improved by leaps and bounds, as if she was a different person. The two meandered back to the capital, and as soon as they entered Prince Dugu's mansion, Yan Hong greeted them and said, "Young Master Chen, you are finally back!" Chen Jingchou was so preoccupied, his expression was in a trance, and he forgot to answer.Tuoba Yu'er hastily agreed.Yan Hong invited the two to the attic in the garden.Dugu Ning Ke hurriedly came out of the room, met the two of them, and said, "I'm sorry, Mr. Chen... I thought you were angry with me and didn't want to come back again!" Seeing Chen Jingchou's dull expression, she apologized : "I was so excited last time - please forgive me if I offended you!..." Tuoba Yu'er said: "Princess...the ones who should apologize should be us! The princess is too polite. The princess has always helped us fight against Grand Master Yuwen, but we have repeatedly failed the princess' expectations!..." When Dugu Ning Ke heard this, the stone in her heart fell to the ground immediately, and she immediately said with joy, "Thank you Miss Tuoba! So you are willing to forgive me?" Tuoba Yu'er said: "Princess, please don't say that! It's too late for us to thank you, how can we blame you?" Dugu Ning Ke pondered for a while, his face turned worried, and said: "Actually, it's really great that you can come back! I was worried that Grand Master Yuwen's conspiracy was about to come true, but no one helped me stop him..." Full of anticipation, he looked at the two eagerly. Chen Jingchou turned around, avoiding Dugu Ning Ke's gaze, depressed, and said: "Princess...I don't want to fight against Grand Master Yuwen anymore!" Dugu Ning Ke was shocked when she heard this, and asked, "Mr. Chen... what's the matter with you? Are you still angry with me?" Chen Jingchou was disturbed and bowed his head in silence. Tuoba Yu'er said: "Princess, this is none of your business—we encountered some incidents in Lingwu County a few days ago. Ah Qiu was hit hard, and he has been in a trance for the past few days... Please don't mind .” Dugu Ning Ke said with concern: "Mr. Chen... are you okay?" Chen Jingchou was silent. Dugu Ning Ke sighed, turned her head and said: "Miss Tuoba, we must stop Grand Master Yuwen as soon as possible - otherwise we will be doomed! Many of the emperor's things that cost people and money are all instigated by him from behind...... It would be really bad for someone like him to become emperor!" Tuoba Yu'er said: "I understand all this, Princess! I'm just like you, and I don't want to see Grand Master Yuwen succeed in his ambition..." Dugu Ning Ke looked anxious, and said: "He has all five artifacts now, we have to find a way to get them back before he goes to Luoyang Tongtian Pagoda to set up the Ninth Five-Year Array-at least one of them!" After a while, he said: "Although Grand Master Yuwen is currently guarding the artifact in the Grand Master's Mansion, I know a path that can sneak into the back garden of the Grand Master's Mansion, and I need your cooperation..." Before he finished speaking, Chen Jingchou suddenly Sighed: "Forget it... princess! We can't beat Grand Master Yuwen at all!" Dugu Ning Ke was puzzled and said, "Mr. Chen?——" Tuoba Yu'er said: "Princess, I'm sorry... Please don't take offense!" Dugu Ning Ke said: "Uh, but Miss Tuoba... Time is running out now, and the only people in the world who have the ability to fight against Grand Master Yuwen are you... If the only hope is... then don't we? ..." Tuoba Yu'er thought for a moment, then turned around and walked to Chen Jingchou's side, persuading him, "Achou, the Princess is begging you and me for help so earnestly, shall we agree?" Chen Jingchou looked frustrated, and said, "I'm sorry, Sister Yu'er...I don't want to care about these things now!" Tuoba Yu'er said: "A Qiu?..." Chen Jingchou said: "It's all because of me, intervening in so many unnecessary things that caused Xiaoxue to be held hostage by Grand Master Yuwen - I made her implicated! From now on, I don't want to care about these things anymore! The matter of restoring the country, the matter of the world! Who will be the emperor is not the same—" Dugu Ning Ke waited to persuade, but Chen Jingchou had already turned and left.Tuoba Yu'er apologized again and again, and followed her out.Dugu Ning Ke stood in front of the attic door, frowning. That night, Tuoba Yu'er felt depressed, so she walked out of the guest room alone and came to the side of the garden.I saw that the night was fading, and the cold moon was falling.The breeze is blowing, the water in the pool is slightly rippling, and the fragrance of flowers is faint.Feeling something in his heart, he couldn't help taking out the pipa, kneeling on the grass, and gently playing with his fingers.The melody is soft and melancholic, reflecting the cold moonlight, which makes it even more beautiful. Stepping slowly, one person walked behind Tuoba Yuer, listened for a long time, and sighed: "What a beautiful sound of the pipa..." Tuoba Yuer stopped the pipa, looked back, but it was Dugu Ning Ke. Dugu Ning Ke walked up to her and praised: "I didn't expect Miss Tuoba to be so amazing, she is proficient in music, rhythm and swordsmanship, she is really outstanding!" Tuoba Yu'er said: "The princess made fun of me... In fact, my heart is very disturbed, so I came here late at night to think about something, and I'm bothering you!" Dugu Ning Ke hurriedly said: "It's okay, it's okay..." After pondering for a moment, she said: "Miss Tuoba, I don't understand one thing, can I take the liberty to ask—what happened to Mr. Chen?" Tuobayu Er put down the pipa, sighed, and told Dugu Ning Ke everything about Lingwu County. Dugu Ning Ke blamed herself: "It's all my fault... At that time, the artifact was taken away by Miss Xiaoxue. It was because I was too excited and didn't give him a good look. No wonder he was sad!" Tuoba Yu'er hurriedly said: "It's not because of this, the Princess—A Qiu is blaming himself for implicating Xiaoxue in these things!" After Dugu Ning Ke heard this, her thoughts changed sharply, she turned around slowly, and said, "So Mr. Chen is worried about this matter? Mr. Chen really completely misunderstood the reason why Miss Xiaoxue left!" Tuoba Yu'er was startled, stood up, and said: "A Qiu made a mistake?—" Hesitating for a moment, he asked: "Then what does the princess think is the real reason?" Dugu Ning Ke's face was secretive, and she said: "Oh... the reason why Miss Xiaoxue left, almost everyone in the mansion can see... Miss Tuoba really doesn't know?" Tuoba Yu'er said: "I really don't know, please tell me the princess." Seeing Tuoba Yuer's anxious face, Dugu Ning Ke smiled slightly and said, "Miss Tuoba is so smart, do you really not know, or are you deliberately teasing me?" Slowly walked up the stone bridge, towards the pavilion in the pool go. Tuoba Yu'er hurriedly followed, and said: "Princess, I really don't know... Please tell me, Princess!" Dugu Ning Ke stopped, and said, "You didn't notice such a clear thing?..." Tuoba Yu'er took a step forward and said: "Princess, I really want to bring Xiaoxue back for Ah Qiu one day sooner, please don't be tricky, tell me quickly!" Dugu Ning Ke turned sideways, stood leaning on the railing, looked at the faint moonlight in the water, and said: "Miss Tuoba really cares about Mr. Chen, but the reason is also here!" Tuoba Yu'er was puzzled, and said: "What's going on here?..." Dugu Ning Ke turned her head and said: "Miss Tuoba... Don't you know that Miss Xiaoxue was forced to leave because of you?" Tuoba Yu'er was startled and couldn't believe it.Dugu Ning Ke continued: "Miss Xiaoxue also likes Mr. Chen, but you are always stuck in the middle..." Tuoba Yu'er was distracted and didn't know how to answer.Dugu Ning Ke said: "Miss Tuoba... In fact, you really like Mr. Chen, right?" Tuoba Yu'er blushed, turned her head hastily, and said, "I... I don't have one!" Dugu Ning Ke smiled and said: "Miss Tuoba, you don't have to hide it, we other people can see it clearly! Although Miss Xiaoxue likes Mr. Chen in her heart, she is not good at expressing and has a good relationship with you, so she can't be cruel. Set your mind to fight with you - she sees you talking and laughing with Mr. Chen every day, and the relationship grows deeper, she must be heartbroken every moment! So, I would like to ask Miss Tuoba - if it were you today , what will you do?" Tuoba Yu'er turned her head and said, "Leave by yourself?—" Dugu Ning Ke nodded and said, "That's right...it's that simple!" Tuoba Yu'er didn't believe it, she shook her head and said, "This is impossible, impossible..." Dugu Ning Ke walked a few steps closer and said: "It's not wrong, Miss Tuoba—after dawn, Miss Xiaoxue will go to Luoyang, the Eastern Capital, with Grand Master Yuwen. Before she leaves, you still have a chance to meet her." If you don't believe me, you can ask her face to face!" Tuoba Yu'er said: "Ask her..." He hesitated in his heart. Dugu Ning Ke looked up at the waning moon in the sky, and said: "It's almost dawn! Miss Tuoba, please remember my words, and think about it slowly." She turned and walked back the way she came. Tuoba Yu'er watched Dugu Ning Ke's back gradually go away, and suddenly said: "Wait—Princess!" Dugu Ning Ke turned around and said, "What's wrong? - Miss Tuoba!" Tuoba Yu'er said: "I want to ask the Princess to help me sneak into the Grand Master's Mansion...and meet Xiaoxue!" Dugu Ning Ke said with a smile: "You want to ask her clearly in person...isn't it?" Tuoba Yu'er thought for a while, then turned around and said: "No...bring her back!" Dugu Ning Ke smiled and asked his men to prepare the car.The two hurried out and came to the side of the back door of Taishi Mansion. The attendant went to the corner and whistled.After a while, the corner gate on the west side of the Grand Master's Mansion was opened, and a soldier poked his head out to see that there was no one on the street, and rushed to the tent of the carriage, bowing to salute.Dugu Ning Ke made a gesture and whispered a few words in his ear.The soldier nodded, took Tuoba Yuer with him, and slipped in through the corner gate. The back garden of the Grand Master's Mansion is very large, with dense bamboo shades, numerous lakes and harbors, winding paths and hundreds of corridors.Tuoba Yu'er followed the soldier closely, made several detours and passed through several doors before arriving at a pavilion.The soldier hid himself behind the rockery in the flower garden, saw no one was around, and said in a low voice, "Miss Yu lives here. I will guard here, miss, hurry up and come back." Tuoba Yu'er flashed under the eaves, gently Pushing open the door, I saw that the lights in the room were dim, I walked through the main hall, walked around into the bedroom, I saw a person lying on the couch, it was Yu Xiaoxue. Yu Xiaoxue woke up when she heard footsteps, looked sideways, and said in surprise: "Ah, Sister Tuoba?" Tuoba Yu'er hastily stepped forward and made a gesture to tell Yu Xiaoxue to be silent.Yu Xiaoxue quickly sat up and said in a low voice, "Sister, you...why did you come here?" Tuoba Yu'er said: "I sneaked in at a risk...I have something important to ask you!" Yu Xiaoxue said: "I have something important to ask... Do you want to blame me for blocking you and Brother Chen in Lingwu County?" Tuoba Yu'er said: "No, no—you really are, if it's just for such a trivial matter, am I willing to risk my life to break in like this?" Yu Xiaoxue said: "Then sister Yu'er is...for what?" Tuoba Yu'er sat down by the couch, and said, "Xiaoxue—I don't have much time, so I'll just say it straight! Did you leave Dugu Palace because you thought I had taken away your brother Chen, so you were forced to leave?" ?” Yu Xiaoxue hurriedly said: "Sister Tuoba...how could you say that? There is no such thing!" Tuoba Yu'er smiled and said: "Xiaoxue, you don't have to hide it anymore... Do you secretly like Ah Qiu in your heart?" Yu Xiaoxue blushed and hesitated to answer. Tuoba Yu'er said: "Since you don't answer——that's acquiescing! Right?" Yu Xiaoxue hummed, the voice was as thin as a mosquito, almost inaudible. Tuoba Yu'er said: "Then...you think I like Ah Qiu too, so you feel sad, don't you?" Yu Xiaoxue didn't answer, and said, "You... don't you also like Brother Chen?" Tuoba Yu'er said: "How is it possible? Of course not—" Yu Xiaoxue said in surprise: "Sister Tuoba, is this true? I always thought..." Tuoba Yu'er said: "Little fool - he is the only one in the world who secretly likes me, how can it be possible that I like him?" Yu Xiaoxue didn't believe it, and said, "But, Sister Tuoba——" Tuoba Yu'er interrupted, and said: "Xiaoxue, I came here on this adventure just to tell you about it! You really don't need to leave your beloved just because of such a misunderstanding!" Tuoba Yu'er felt extremely sad, and tried to pretend to be indifferent, thinking that after saying this, Yu Xiaoxue would definitely relax.Unexpectedly, Yu Xiaoxue shook her hands after hearing this, and said, "Sister Tuoba, I, that's not the reason why I left!" Tuoba Yu'er said: "Don't be embarrassed—after you left, Ah Qiu felt very sad every day. If you can go back, he will be very happy!" Yu Xiaoxue hurriedly said: "I... I really didn't because of that reason, really it wasn't—" Tuoba Yu'er was puzzled, and said: "No... Then what is it for?" Yu Xiaoxue said: "Because...it's because Chiguanxing... is about to split the sky—" Tuoba Yu'er didn't know why. Yu Xiaoxue said: "Sister Tuoba, in the sky now, isn't it possible to see a red star with a long tail every evening?" Tuoba Yu'er said: "Well, I've seen this a few times. That's... the Chiguanxing you're talking about?" Yu Xiaoxue lowered her head and said, "The red trajectory drawn between two Tengu eclipses will tear the sky in two, and then...then..." Tuoba Yu'er said: "Then what happened?" Yu Xiaoxue said: "There is another world in the west far away from our Central Plains—if the sky is torn apart, the king of the demon world who rules there now can come to the Central Plains from the crack and kill everyone! " Tuoba Yu'er was confused, confused, and said, "You, how do you know these things? Does this have anything to do with you leaving us?" Yu Xiaoxue didn't know how to explain it to her, and said, "Sister Tuoba—to prevent the red star from crossing the sky, what we need are the five ancient artifacts we have been looking for. Lord Yuwen also knows about this, So I tried my best to collect artifacts, and in the end I had all four of them, the Qin, the Tripod, the Seal, and the Mirror, and the only difference is... only..." Tuoba Yu'er interjected: "Nuwa Stone—" He lowered his head and thought, "That's not right—isn't the Nuwa Stone in our hands? You didn't take it away with other artifacts last time, did you? " Yu Xiaoxue raised her head and said, "Sister...because that Nuwa stone is me!" Tuoba Yu'er was shocked, she couldn't believe her ears, and said, "This, how is this possible?" Yu Xiaoxue said: "I...I am the reincarnation of Nuwashi, and Grand Master Yuwen is the reincarnation of Kunlun Mirror, so everyone...is always unable to find the mirror and stone!" When Tuoba Yu'er thought of Lingwu County, Yu Xiaoxue's skill improved rapidly within a few days, which seemed to be beyond human ability, so she couldn't help but believe it.Yu Xiaoxue said: "The red star is about to cross the sky, but we took away Lord Yuwen's artifact, so I..." Tuoba Yu'er said: "Is what you said true - Xiaoxue?" Yu Xiaoxue nodded. Tuoba Yu'er turned around and stood up, walked back and forth a few steps, said: "The thing you said is so bizarre! I really don't know...how to understand it!" She lowered her head and thought for a moment, then said: "Then , how do you know these things again?" Yu Xiaoxue said: "Ever since Immortal Gu Yue stimulated the potential in me in Xianshan Island last time, my strength has been slowly awakening—sister, do you still remember that I often had headaches and saw hallucinations not long ago? ?” Tuoba Yuer nodded.于小雪道：“最后，最后我竟然能和宇文大人互相感应上！” 拓跋玉儿心中诧异，道：“和宇文太师互相感应……” 于小雪道：“是的……因为宇文太师也是上古神器转世，所以我们能够彼此感应到对方。我那一阵一直做恶梦——后来我才明白，我看见的原来就是宇文大人心中所看到的未来世界！” 拓跋玉儿又思量一会，道：“我渐渐能明白一些了……那他都看到了什么？” 于小雪道：“宇文大人是昆仑镜转世，所以他能看见未来的事，他看见天空将要被撕裂，西方魔界将降临我们中原大地！宇文大人非常担心，所以开始着手钻研如何才能阻止这场浩劫……” 拓跋玉儿道：“哦，结果呢？” 于小雪道：“大人从他师父杨素老先生留下的书简中得知：若要阻止这场浩劫，就必须找到钟剑斧壶塔和琴鼎印镜石十件上古神器——钟剑斧壶塔五样神器，能打开通往天上的路——等到达天上的赤贯星后，再用琴鼎印镜石将割裂的天空再补起来，这就行了！” 拓跋玉儿道：“所以……你当初才叫我们把从宫里夺回的神器，暂时先还给宇文太师！”于小雪点点头。 拓跋玉儿道：“那上次在灵武郡，你为什么不直接告诉我们，却自愿背上所有罪名？” 于小雪道：“上次在灵武，本来是宇文大人希望我去说服你们，请你们别去妨碍韩老将军……但我当时紧张得躲在帐里，不敢出来，直到看见你们打败韩老将军，我才急忙从帐里赶出，我当时心神慌乱，根本不知道该怎样向你们开口解释才好……” 拓跋玉儿垂眉道：“我明白……当时剑拔弩张，你再怎么解释，我想当时我和阿仇也不会听得进去。” 于小雪双手掩面，低声泣道：“我回来以后，知道自己永远也回不去了，所以……所以我哭了好久……陈哥哥绝不会原谅我的！……”拓跋玉儿忙上前安慰。于小雪止住哭声，道：“姊姊……我说了这么多难以置信的事，你一定不会相信的……对不对？” 拓跋玉儿道：“傻孩子……拓跋姊姊怎么会不相信呢？我一直都最相信你的！从你离开的那日起，我就一直相信你绝不会背叛自己的同伴！这段时间太委屈你了，你现在心里一定非常孤单，最需要朋友的信任，姊姊当然相信你刚才所说的每一句话——”于小雪听了，心中感动，不禁又轻轻哭了起来，也不知是为了离开陈靖仇而伤心，还是心里为有一个知心朋友而高兴，喜极而泣。
