The Pear Blossoms of Spring in the South of the Yangtze River

Xiao Heng wasn't the only one looking in that direction.

When Xiao Heng landed on the ground, no sword greeted him, no face faced him murderously, no pair of eyes fixed on him.

All, looking in the same direction.

It is indeed a thousand troops.

King Yan's Mansion is located in the west gate of Jingjing in the south of the Yangtze River. Inside the west gate is a lively market, and outside the west gate is the official road leading to Shangjing. There are no ordinary people's homes.

And thousands of troops and horses came galloping from the official road.

Even the dust kicked up behind the horse's hooves can be clearly seen.

This group of terrifying troops held two banners.

One flag is "Duanping" in gold, and the other is "Nan'an" in vermilion.

King Duanping, the sixth king, and King Nan'an, the ninth king.

These two people are famous figures in the world today.

Not to mention the six kings, Duanping Wang Huaiyu, who is the brother of the same father and the same mother, and also the younger brother who is most favored by the Holy One. With him alone, he can snatch the mortal Xiao Heng from the hands of the Empress Dowager. Just look at him King Duanping's flag is golden yellow, which is second only to the bright yellow of the Holy One. It is conceivable that it is favored.The Nine Kings, Nan'an Wang Huaichen, is the ninth younger brother of the Holy Majesty, whose mother is a deceased jade concubine.

These two people came hand in hand, and they came hand in hand with thousands of horses and horses. As long as they have eyes and a head, they will naturally stop fighting to see what these two great people have to say.

The soldiers and horses were well-trained, as soon as the two leading princes reined in their horses and stopped, the cavalry behind them would automatically spread out and block the exit of King Yan's Mansion in an arc shape.

It is menacing, so don't be careless.

King Yan had already received the news. He was dressed in neat royal clothes, and he was still striding forward, calmly: "The two nephews are here late at night, what is the matter?"

Under the scarlet banner of the King of Nan'an, the young prince in a deep blue brocade robe smiled very gracefully, holding out a yellow scroll with both hands, and said slowly: "Uncle, please forgive me. My nephew is under the order of the emperor to travel in the starry night, Come down to the south of the Yangtze River to proclaim the decree for the Holy One.”

When the Holy Majesty's name was mentioned, everyone was shocked.

Before everyone recovered from the shock, King Nan'an unfolded the scroll: "Lord Yan, accept the order."

As soon as King Yan knelt down, it was the Six Kings and Nine Kings who immediately took control of the situation in the entire palace.

Xiao Heng waited slowly to see what kind of gourd medicine these two guys were selling.

Could it be that Emperor Yongyu planned to do it like this?Judging from this situation, it is very possible. Before King Yan can contact the forces in the court, it is not impossible to use the forces of the Six Kings and Nine Kings to attack first.

But... how to carry out the crime of King Yan?

Thinking of this, the hand holding Liu Qiuse couldn't help tightening.

If Liu Qiuse was going to be beheaded together, it would mean rushing out for anything.

Thinking of this, the Nine Kings had already sluggishly read a bunch of shitty official talk about Fengtian Chengyun, and finally got to the point.

"...Then, the emperor enshrined Jing as the governor of the capital, and the late emperor enshrined him as the prince of Yan. He behaved improperly, did not act frugally, robbed the men and women of the people's families, took them for his own use, and disturbed the people's livelihood. It was right and wrong. I thought of the late emperor's favor and kept them. Title, deprive Sanyi."

Hearing that this is the only way, Lord Yan almost snickered.

Empress Dowager Xiao and Emperor Yongyu have been planning for so long, if he is only sentenced to deprive the households of the three towns, he will go back to the mountain and cause endless disasters. In less than two days, he will reorganize his troops and fight back to Shangjing up.

However, the Nine Kings have not finished reading.

"...The previous dynasty was ordered by the late emperor to lead the army to attack the Tianjun dynasty. His achievements were brilliant and his legacy will last forever. However, the late emperor ordered the prince to slaughter the entire dynasty of Tianjun, but the prince kept Tianjun's prince, Qiu Ruyi, as a secret Favor, this is deceiving the king."

After reading this, someone has already gone to the back and dragged the family members of the Wangfu to the yard. King Yan saw his son being escorted out, and only then did he know that the Nine Kings came prepared. I am afraid that today's luck will be extremely bad.But he didn't have time to continue to think about the countermeasures. There was someone who never knew which yard brought out a disheveled young man, and the Ninth Prince over there continued to read.

"...colluding with the demons of the Xuanxian Sect, making waves, harming the loyal, disrupting the people's livelihood, secretly harboring evil intentions, and harboring evil intentions, is for the purpose of forming a party for personal gain, and has a heart of disloyalty. The courtyard full of Xuanxian Sect members in front of you is the witness."

The smile on Jiu Wang's face was like a spring breeze.

"At present, the emperor's uncle has a disagreement with the Xuanxian sect, and there is a rebellion in the nest, and the dog bites the dog's hair. That's a real thing. Seeing that Qiu Ruyi is also pulled out, um, let's solve it like this."

Glancing at the imperial decree in his hand, he read: "Here, bestow death on Tianjun's former crown prince, Qiu Ruyi, Prince Yan will go back to Beijing to wait for trial, search the palace, confiscate the treasury, if you don't follow-"

"Wait!" King Yan's voice was like a loud bell. He had already seen Xiao Heng and Liu Qiuse who were not far away. No matter what, I couldn't swallow this breath, raised my head and said: "Nine Kings! Qiu Ruyi——"

Before finishing a sentence, the six kings under Duanping's banner narrowed their eyes.

brush!

Slap.

In the entire palace, there was only dead silence.

And the six kings were already sitting firmly on the saddle, as if they hadn't moved half a step just now.

The amber pupils were crystal clear, coldly reflecting a red gap on Prince Yan's neck.

With a smile on his face and a leisurely tone, Jiu Wang slowly finished the rest of the sentence.

"—If you don't comply, you have to be executed. This is it."

The last sound fell, and the soldiers guarding King Yan's family raised their knives and fell, and the courtyard was full of wailing for a moment, which was utterly tragic.

This is the meaning of destroying the whole family of King Yan.

"Master, let's go."

Wei Ziqi arrived at Xiao Heng's side at some point, reminding her in a low voice.

Xiao Heng also knew that this was the best time to take advantage of the chaos and escape, so without saying much, he disappeared into the night like a ghost as soon as he moved his body.

As for the six kings and nine kings, they opened their eyes and closed their eyes. In short, one nostril breathed out, and of course the water was released to let him go.

The Xuanxian Sect Tianfeng, Tianwei, and Tianming were all masters of lightness kung fu, but Master Xiao was the only one who looked forward to it. Since Xiao Heng was also rescued and ran away, they naturally had no reason to stay. In a flash, a large number of congregants disappeared without a single one left.

◇◇

"...It's done. I, Liu Qiuse, am not a woman. You don't have to show me that face."

In the inn in the capital city, Liu Qiuse was soaked in the bathtub carried by Xiaoer into the room, feeling drowsy, and really wanted to just fall asleep like this.

This is already the third day since Xiao Heng broke into the palace to rescue him.

He passed out later that night, and he didn't know what happened. When he woke up in a daze, his body was cleaned up by Xiao Heng, and he put on a brand new robe. The spring poison in her body was also completely wiped out, her whole body seemed to come back to life, and everything in Prince Yan's Mansion became a nightmare.

This bucket of hot water is called a paradise on earth!

Everything is wonderful, except one thing.That is Xiao Heng who is sitting by the bed now.

It's not that Xiao Heng can't sit there, let alone that Xiao Heng can't appear here. After all, Xiao Heng risked his life to bring him out of Yan Wang's mansion, and he should be at least grateful to the savior, although according to experience , this kind of gratitude will later become an incurable trouble.

It’s just that Xiao Heng’s attitude towards him has been submissive in the past three days, but he always looks at him with that hesitant, guilty and distressed face. up.

As for how to read the expression from Xiao Heng's dead face?He, Liu Qiuse, could tell and didn't want to explain.I've known this person for so long, fought and killed, and grudged each other for so long, it's hard not to see it.

Speaking of why you looked at him with that face...

Liu Qiuse knew the reason without thinking.

"Can you forget it? It's just that I made a mistake and was suppressed by him. It's not the first time this kind of thing happened. Master Xiao, this matter has nothing to do with you. I've had enough of your face."

The most effective part of this whole paragraph is the last sentence.

Things were not as easy as Liu Qiuse said.You know, rolling over and over is pressure, two people sticking together and rolling the sheets is pressure, affection is pressure, and severe torture is another matter.

That night, he reckoned that Prince Yan's Mansion was too far away from the main altar of the Xuanxian Sect, and he was worried about Liu Qiuse's body, so he chose an inn in Beijing and asked Xiao Er to boil water in. Drooling flowed to the floor, Xiao Heng really wanted to slap him.

Looking at the traces left on the body, one can see how cruelly the owner of the body was treated, especially when Liu Qiuse was cleaning the back area, seeing King Yan stuff something in, Xiao Heng's dead face was completely green The ghostly aura is stern, and the eyes are about to burst!

Not to mention, because of the loss and the guilt, Xiao Heng is obedient to Liu Qiuse. When he heard the sentence "I'm fed up with your face", he tried his best to adjust his expression, but Xiao Heng was born with facial nerves. Imbalance, no matter how to adjust it, it is that kind of dark air, which is too embarrassing for him.

Seeing that he was really working hard, Liu Qiushen was angry and funny, sighed and sank a little more in the water: "Forget it, I laughed when I saw your face. If I had known today, why didn't you go to the appointment? You Do you really think I will poison you to death with a packet of powder?"

At that time, he could be so angry that he could lose his temper, but at this time, he didn't seem very violent. Liu Qiuse really hated his hard-spoken and soft-hearted, Xiao Heng risked his life to snatch him from Yan Wang's mansion, he couldn't tell What's the matter.

The bigger part, and the part that annoyed him more, was that he couldn't really get annoyed with this dead face...meaning, he...cares about this person?

Liu Qiuse's face turned blue.

Xiao Heng's lips moved, and after much deliberation, he remembered how to pronounce the word he hadn't spoken since he was born.

"……sorry."

what?

Liu Qiuse almost thought she had heard wrong.

Xiao Heng said sorry?

Xiao Heng knows how to pronounce the three words "I'm sorry"?

"Second Master Liu, I made you suffer."

Every word contains deep self-blame.

Every word is like the most heart-wrenching confession, knocking on the fragile heartstrings of the other party.

"I thought... I thought you were still Qiu Ruyi living in the deep palace, I thought you were still a royal family who would do whatever it takes to protect yourself, I thought... Mei Ruolan was right. There is no peace, there is no place for you to live, you hate evil people so much, and you are chased and killed by your former comrades as ghosts and snakes. You must feel very uncomfortable. There is a way to return to the right way, and you will Of course it’s okay to do so. I can understand.”

Liu Qiuse listened quietly.The hot air was entangled between them, and Xiao Heng's voice seemed to be covered with mist, making it hazy.

"...When I arrived at Wuliting, you were no longer there. Only then did I realize that I would rather you be there, I would rather you put that bag of poison powder in the wine, I would rather be killed by you, you Back to your right path...I just want you to be safe. Second Young Master Liu, I don’t care about the sword you stabbed in my chest, and I can make a big fuss in Kunming Palace for you. It doesn’t matter. The official list has been posted these days , saying that I am still fleeing after I failed to assassinate the Empress Dowager, and officers and soldiers will come to chase me soon, so it is not safe for you to be with me, but in this situation, it is not safe for you to go back to the right path..."

He pulled out his inseparable long sword from his waist, turned the hilt upside down, and held it out flatly.

"The grievance between you and Zhengdao only originated from the fact that you saved me on Guanyin Ridge. You didn't hurt their lives. Now kill me and go back to Zhengdao. They will be grateful to you and won't embarrass you again. The Queen Mother By the way, since the Six Kings have already taken a person as Qiu Ruyi, there will be no such person as Qiu Ruyi in this world, and you can be safe."

Xiao Heng stood up and walked a few steps forward, so that the hilt of the long sword was just facing Liu Qiuse, but the blade was facing his own heart far away.

As long as Liu Qiuse took over the sword, he didn't even need to use his internal strength, and he could easily take Xiao Heng's life away.

"On Wulipo, I will bear you. When this sword comes down, you will not bear me."

The stubbornness in King Yan's mansion that he would rather die than submit is the most resolute expression of his will.Even if Xiao Heng is so careless about love, he still knows that this kind of intention is like nothing but nothing.

Liu Qiuse raised his face, looking from bottom to top at the pair of black pupils that he had been lost in several times.

this person……

this person...

Regardless of not wearing a single thread on her body, Liu Qiuse stood up from the tub with a clatter, stretched out her hand not to catch the sword, but passed over the Qingfeng, and pulled Xiao Heng's collar away with both hands.

On the honey-colored chest, [Scholarly Fragrance] was right at the heart, a newly healed scar that destroyed the smooth skin.

At the same location, Liu Qiuse's chest also had the exact same scar.

The same strength, the same sword, the same hands, and the same time left these two identical sword scars.

Liu Qiuse's hands gently covered it.

"...Put down the sword, Xiao Heng, or I will nail two more identical wounds."

The cool and celestial pupils moved onto Xiao Heng's face, no longer the icy coldness that repulsed people thousands of miles away, the autumn waves swayed slightly, and there was still a breathtaking brilliance in the beautiful eyes: "You guessed a part of me, I I don't want you to be safe."

Quickly snatched the sword from Xiao Heng's hand with one hand, without leaving Xiao Heng's eyes, with a flick of one hand, the long sword was firmly inserted back into the scabbard around Xiao Heng's waist!

"—Understood, I want to live and die with you."

Xiao Heng's heart was greatly moved.

She lowered her head, without thinking about anything, and snatched Liu Qiuse's slightly parted lips.

The heart and mind prove it, the sky thunder stirs the fire, and the demand is of course overwhelmed, wantonly seeking the sweetness in the other party's mouth, the ambiguity between the lips and teeth, exchanging breaths with each other, as if they are fused as one.

All courts, conspiracies, beliefs and unbeliefs are all in the past.

Each other owns the present.

Even if you are ruined because of being with someone you shouldn't love, even if you end up in ruins because you caused trouble in the court because of someone you shouldn't love, sharing life and death is better than thousands of words, riches and glory, and fame and fortune. "...By the way, who are you, Mei Ruolan?"

During the interval of breathing, Xiao Heng gnawed the corner of Liu Qiuse's lips lightly, and murmured with jealousy.

"Um?"

Liu Qiuse was so dizzy that she didn't really pay attention to what Xiao Heng asked.

"Oh... well, it's my senior brother..."

"Brother?"

Strange and strange, Mei Ruolan is a notorious figure in the Jianghu, although he is not as deterred by everyone shouting murder as the leader of Xuanxian, but there are always people who evade it.How could Liu Qiuse, who is so upright and has no room for sand under his eyes, have such a messy brother?

It's strange, but I don't want to get to the bottom of it.To Xiao Heng, Mei Ruolan was at best just a name, and it was a very unpleasant name, far less important than the person in his arms.

"No...not from Fengjianmen."

The relaxed body soaked in hot water was easily softened by such a dark kiss, but the reason to answer is still there, and the ability to think has not been completely lost.

"On the side of Fengjian Gate——"

"Your elder brother is protecting you. Regarding the recent turmoil in the arena, Fengjianmen is considered a neutral point. It didn't drive you out of the gate, and it didn't bow to the pressure of decent people."

When Xiao Heng called the master of Fengjian Sect Liu Qiuse's elder brother, it meant that he completely regarded Liu Qiuse as the second son of Fengjian Sect, and did not think about Liu Qiuse's previous identity.

"Wei Ziqi sent someone to investigate. The queen mother spared Fengjianmen, and the officers and soldiers have all withdrawn. You can rest assured."

"Hmm... wait a minute, Xiao Heng, where are you touching—"

Before he finished speaking, he was blocked by a kiss.

The two of them were so tender and selfless in the room, it was only Wei Zi who was outside who suffered.

The voice inside made people blush and heart-warming, and the portrait of the leader of his family, Xiao Dajiao, was posted all over the street without mentioning it. , a position above ten thousand people... No, from now on it may be under two people, forcibly parachuting the Second Young Master Liu, Wei Zi felt very uncomfortable, but there was nothing he could do about it.The point is, why is he responsible for standing guard for two people outside!

Second Young Master Liu doesn't know, those who don't know are innocent, the one who gave this order is the Great Hierarch Xiao, as for why...

"Master, officers and soldiers have searched this area."

Downstairs, he hurried up to a member of Tianwei Hall and reported to Wei Ziqi.

"Should I inform the leader to change to another place to take refuge?"

Wei Ziqi glanced at the door in a dilemma, tsk tsk.

If you interrupt at this time, you will be bombarded by the leader, right?

The subordinate who reported the news looked at Wei Ziqi's face, then followed to look at the door, he was very considerate, and said: "Master, then the subordinates must first gather the men and confront the officers and soldiers later. Should we keep the ones alive or kill them all?"

"Whose subordinates are these officers and soldiers?" Wei Ziqi asked.

"Since King Yan's Mansion was destroyed, Suijing has been under the rule of the Nine Kings. Judging from the fact that Fu Se should be a soldier of the Palace brought by the Nine Kings."

Oh, Nine Kings.

Wei Ziqi stroked her chin in thought.

Jiu Wang is a good person. He heard from the leader that when he broke into Hanxiang Tower at night, he actually saw Jiu Wang coming out of Feng Shaoxia's room. It was obviously very friendly.

"It's fine for the soldiers to frighten and frighten them."

Wei Ziqi ordered casually, and the gossip little head began to weave the story of Nine Kings and Feng Shao, which was a joy. "Oh, right."

Calling the subordinates who were about to leave, Wei Ziqi calmly ordered.

"Notify Tianfeng and Tianming to come to support, even if it is repelling, but don't let people disturb the leader."

...and Second Young Master Liu.

That subordinate was clear-eyed and considerate, and went down after receiving his order.

Less than an hour later, the officers and soldiers in charge of the search hadn't arrived yet, and the subordinate just now came upstairs again, bringing another troublesome news.

"Hallmaster, some masters from the upright sect seem to have heard that the leader is here, and they are all on their way together with their companions to challenge him."

Weizi is really, one head and two big.

"Who are they?"

"There are people from Shaolin Temple, Wudang School, Kunlun School, and Five Lakes and Eighteen Villages. Feng Shao didn't join, and neither did Fengjianmen."

"Um."

Wei Ziqi felt that if he continued to touch his chin like this, his beard would not grow back.

But he couldn't help but kept touching his chin.This is a symptom of his troubles.

It's fine if Master Xiao and Second Young Master Liu want to be desperate mandarin ducks, God knows it's Wei Ziqi who suffers!

"Decent people, then kill them at will."

After thinking about it, I added it.

"Take a bright spot, don't hurt anyone who has friendship with Second Young Master Liu."

It saves time for the young couple to quarrel, and the unlucky ones are still their subordinates.

"Yes. Hall Master has worked hard."

"Where?" Wei Ziqi was covered in cold sweat, and the voice in the room was really not restrained.

There are knives and swords outside the room, but there is infinite tenderness inside the room.

Almost half of a bucket of hot water has been poured out, why did it spill out?

Liu Qiuse was really ashamed to speak.

Leaning her face against the sword wound on Xiao Heng's chest, listening to the steady and powerful heartbeat, the clean satin material wrapped her body, making her tired body clamoring for sleep.

Xiao Heng's voice came from above, he laughed and said: "Except for you in your sect...why are there all evil and crooked characters?"

Liu Qiuse snorted lightly.

"Where is it coming from? Eldest senior brother is pretty good, second senior brother is just a little naive..."

"The two senior brothers of yours are both in the Chongyang Building, the No. [-] killer organization in the south of the Yangtze River. They are not considered crooked, and they have opened my eyes."

This statement is true, but Liu Qiuse understands very well that Xiao Heng is just trying to put his wealth into a "demon crooked way" frame, and then extend that they are actually in the same family, so this can't be agreed with anything.

"You don't have to do this. If you want to talk about evil spirits and crooked ways, no one can defeat you, Great Hierarch Xiao. First, you saved my life while others were in danger, and then took advantage of me to ask me to save your life. You are... you are eating me to death." I failed to treat you with death, hmph, my heart is sinister."

Xiao Heng is completely innocent.

Before he had time to say anything to vindicate himself, the wall on the other side of the window burst into pieces with a bang, broke, and broke.

"It's over!"

"Protect the leader!"

"Two shameless thieves, come out and die!"

"Master..."

Originally, Wei Zi wanted to order all his subordinates not to look into the room, but he took a peek first and found that the two of them were well dressed, so he didn't care.

When the wall was split, the two people in the room reacted quickly, holding their swords each, and jumped out of the big hole. Two silver lights flashed side by side, and immediately blood spattered together. It was so lively!

Liu Qiuse's internal injuries have not healed, but her sword skills are still there. That exquisite sword skill alone is enough to withstand most of the attacks.As for Xiao Heng, needless to say, the sword was wide open and closed, and the strike was fierce, and he took away several lives in a blink of an eye, which was very majestic.

"Master, he belongs to the Nine Kings!"

Wei Ziqi reminded.

It is not wrong to kill the decent people, but the Nine Kings still have to look at the sympathy of the Nine Kings, so Xiao Heng eliminated the remaining decent masters with a few swords, stretched out his hand to hold Liu Qiuse, raised his inner breath, and rushed past Several officers and soldiers landed lightly at the intersection of the street.

"Retreat!" Wei Ziqi ordered in a cold voice.

The Tianwei, Tianming, and Tianfeng halls mostly follow the orders of the head of the Tianwei hall, but now the Xuanxian disciples are acting according to the orders, and the weather is so strict that people are afraid to stay away.

"Ah! Immortal... Immortal!" An old lady who was selling vegetables in the market looked up and saw Liu Qiuse leaping over, stunned.

"The one next to the other side is... is it a ghost!"

The other person pointed at Xiao Heng and couldn't close his mouth for a long time.

"It's a mess, this world." A passer-by looked up, with a look of despair on his face.

Bang dong dong qiang, chasing and fighting, you fleeing and chasing, officers and soldiers, decent masters, Xuanxian sects, a lot of people crowded together, making the whole street restless.

"Look at the sword!"

With the sword approaching from behind, Liu Qiuse clicked his tongue, turned his wrist and stabbed.

I began to wonder if I had chosen a particularly difficult and dangerous path.

The hand that held her tightened.

"Back to the main altar, I will let you be the leader's wife."

what!

There was a sudden thunder in the head, Liu Qiuse's eyes went dark, and she almost passed out.

Did I miss something!

"Don't! Slow down! Let go! God damn it, who will be the wife of the leader of your demon cult! I am Liu Qiuse, a seven-foot man, my martial arts is not invincible, at least..."

Before he complained to the end, the man didn't know if he had three heads and six arms. He stabbed the pursuer with a sword, held him tightly to prevent him from running away, and turned his head to touch his lips!

"Xiao Heng!"

How many people are watching here!

How many pairs of eyes here have seen this horrifying scene!

Liu Qiuse almost killed himself with a horizontal sword.

He didn't realize at all that how many people below turned into wood and stone sculptures, completely shrouded in this shocking scene.

"Shut up and follow me."

There was a faint threat in Xiao Heng's voice, and his movements were even more irresistible. He held Liu Qiuse's hand, lightened his body, and in a blink of an eye he was already tens of feet away.

"Xiao Heng, you are taking advantage of others! How can you do such a thing! I, Liu Qiuse..."

Jumping to the Yellow River can't clean it up!

Desperate Mandarin Duck, Desperate Mandarin Duck is not like this!

"Finish"
