heart pole

Tranquility quickly floated up on the surface of the water, but the boy in Tsing Yi was not seen for a long time, only intermittent bubbles floated to the surface of the river.

Startled, he took a deep breath and dived underwater.

Sure enough, the young man in Tsing Yi squinted his eyes slightly, hugged the white piano, and let himself sink slowly without struggling at all. Behind him were countless barbs embedded in the iron chain, which should have been planted by water thieves.

Ning Jingyuan quickly swam closer, holding the waist of the young man in Tsing Yi and pulling him into his arms, so that he could avoid the iron thorns behind him, and the young man in Tsing Yi slightly opened his eyes.Although the river has been dyed red by the sea of ​​fire, there is no surprise in his eyes, let alone a trace of flames, as calm as water, as if to say: "Why bother."

The two emerged from the water, "Hiss." The bandaged left hand was stained red with blood due to scratching the iron spike just now.Ning Jingyuan gasped because of the pain, and wanted to say a few words of reproach, but the indifferent attitude of the young man in Tsing Yi made him swallow what he wanted to say, and the words turned into three words on the edge of his mouth: " Li Qingzhou?"

"What's the matter?" The young man in Tsing Yi smiled faintly.

"It's okay." Ning Jingyuan breathed a sigh of relief, confirmed that this was his real name, he slightly moved his right hand that was holding Li Qingzhou's waist and said, "Hold your piano well."

"Okay." Li Qingzhou nodded calmly, completely handing over his ups and downs to others with peace of mind. "But, this is just the beginning," he said.

Tranquility heard it from a distance, and was a little puzzled, but when he looked around, his heart sank, "En." He responded with a slightly serious tone.

The smell of blood has replaced the smell of the burning wooden boat, and it has spread in all directions, deeply stimulating his sense of smell.

The corpses of the merchants and tourists who jumped into the water just now were floating on the surface of the river, and their blood flowed like a river.

Some Yiling bandits were counting the looted money and silver on their boats; Holding up the property they salvaged; more water thieves swam towards the two of them, the scimitar and iron claw washed by blood and river water shone reddish in the winter sun.

Ning Jingyuan raised his hand and pressed his forehead, looking a little tired, "Li Qingzhou, do you have a lot of money with you?"

"The money is all on the housekeepers. They jumped first, and they should all be dead now." Li Qingzhou still described the facts in an understatement tone.

"There are at least 30 people surrounding us." Ning Ningyuan made a rough count and said to himself, "I thought they were here to rob money."

"Is it troublesome?" Li Qingzhou asked.

"You are the most troublesome." Tranquility frowned and glanced at the person in his arms.

"If you let go, I'll sink, and you won't find it troublesome." Li Qingzhou smiled. If it wasn't for the danger at the moment, he would have thought it was a schadenfreude smile.

"Then why don't you grab me?"

"Holding you hard."

Everyone saw a flash of silver light, "Bang!" Ning Jingyuan jumped out of the water in the blink of an eye, chopped off a large wooden board on the boat with a sword, and threw it in front of Li Qingzhou. "Then you hold on to the board," he shouted.

"Tch." Li Qingzhou puffed his face, and put his white Yaoqin on the wooden board, barely holding the edge with his hands to prevent himself from sinking.

The quiet and far silver-white figure is like a white goose perched on the water, with eyes closed, standing on top of two floating broken logs.Facing many water thieves who murdered without batting an eye, he showed an expression of indifference like winter's frost.

"Sorry, I have no plans to fight with you." The cold tone echoed on the burning river, as if it could freeze the fire, making everyone shudder.

Tranquility slowly eased off the red bandage on his left hand, revealing a palm covered with chilblains.The bright red that was scratched by the barbs slowly flowed down the drooping snow-white sword body, and flowed over the sword name engraved with the word "Fengse" on the surface of the sword body, emitting wisps of crimson smoke.

The sword energy flowing through the sword body gradually spread, making the icy weather even colder.

The surrounding air became colder and colder, and the speed of the water droplets dripping from Tranquility's gray-white cotton robe became slower and slower. Finally, the moment a drop fell into the river, the surface of the water froze into ice.

He finally opened his eyes, two azure blue cold lights shot out from his pupils, and the water thieves realized at this moment that this young man had a pair of blue eyes!

"Sword Two, Bingyun." A light blue mist of frost suddenly gathered on his left palm covered with sores, and then brushed flatly across the pale body of the sword.

The spreading sword energy froze in an instant and condensed into snow-white snowflakes. Along with the icy winter wind, it blew towards the water ghosts in a bone-piercing blizzard!The slow-moving river gradually froze with the swing of the sword, and a white line was formed at the intersection of the ice and water, which looked like a line of white waves when a raging tide came from a distance. Although the environment was quiet at this moment, the waves were rough!

[A few days ago, Chengdu Tianhe Escort Bureau]

"Hurry to call us back, what's the matter?" Liang Shisan and Ning Jingyuan, who are members of the Yun Department of Yunxuanmen, walked into the escort agency. so happy.

And Ning Jingyuan is holding a girl who is only seven or eight years old in her right hand. The girl is holding a brown sugar ball strung on a wooden stick in her hand, and she is eating in small bites, which seems to be something like candied haws.

"I'm sorry, Senior Liang, a big order came last night. Since Chief Mu has already brought most of the people to Baling with the leader, we can only contact you who are still in Sichuan." It is the largest escort agency in the Bashu area.As Liang Shisan was the head of the Yunxuan Sect's Cloud Department, the young consul did not dare to neglect him at all, and when he saw him, he quickly got up and greeted him.

"What big order." Liang Shisan frowned.

The consul glanced hesitantly at Tranquility behind him. The latter understood and knew that when the two of them were going to talk, they should not let too many people know.He squatted down and touched the little girl's head, and said, "Xiao An, can you go play with Master on the street for a while?"

The Consul was shocked when he heard this. The young disciple of Yunxuanmen behind Liang Shisan looked only sixteen or seventeen years old, but he had already started to accept disciples. His calm eyes were actually tinged with dark blue.There is only one explanation, the swordsmanship of this blue-eyed boy has reached the level of a master in Yunxuan Sect.

The girl seems to have inherited his young master's unique quiet demeanor, from the moment she entered the escort agency to now she has not been noisy, she is not as calm as she should be at the age of seven or eight.After she heard this, she grinned slightly and said, "Okay, Master."

Ning Jingyuan took his little apprentice across the threshold, and heard the consul say, "That young man is carrying a pale Yaoqin with frost patterns..."

"Wait." Accompanied by the cold words, a slender woman in a black skirt passed Ning Yuan who was going out, and came straight from the door.The white "gong" pattern embroidered on her chest represents the ink industry department of the Yan family.

"I don't want to accept this list. Chief Liang, hurry up to Yueyang Tower." The woman is about twenty years old, different from Ning Jingyuan's calm demeanor, her whole person gives off the feeling of a winter inkstone pool, pitch black , Majestic, and cold, and his voice is deep enough.

"Yes, Miss San." The consul nodded respectfully.

"The third miss of the Yan family..." Ning Jingyuan murmured, holding the hand of his apprentice and walking on Chengdu Qintai Street.While thinking about something, someone was playing piano music on the piano platform not far away, causing many passers-by to stop and listen.

His apprentice An Xi also followed silently, his small eyes blinking, his little black hair swaying, and he carefully observed the scenery along the way.

"Master." An Xi's small crystal clear eyes looked at the piano platform, and she swayed Ning Yuan's wrist with her small hand, and suddenly called out.

Tranquility, however, did not hear An Xi's soft call because she was thinking about problems and was obsessed with the sound of the piano.

Seeing this, An Xi lightly pinched Ning Yuan's palm, and called again: "Master." Just after she called, the hand of the person on the piano platform quietly stopped plucking the strings.

Ning Jingyuan came back to his senses and stopped, "Huh?"

An Xi took out his little hand held by the master, pointed to the piano platform, "Look, there are a lot of people."

Ning Jingyuan's dark blue eyes looked in the direction of the little finger, and his eyes swept over the crowd of onlookers, and found that many people's eyes were focused on him.He was wondering, and looked towards the piano platform, where there was a young man about his age sitting there.

He has light black hair, white clothes and a green cloak, with his right hand holding a desk, fingertips playing with the hair on his cheeks, and his left hand resting on a white blue-striped Yaoqin. With a faint smile on his mouth, he is staring at Tranquility, no wonder passers-by They all looked at the master and apprentice.

However, many passers-by recognized the gray cloud cross pattern embroidered on Ning Jingyuan's chest, and soon there were whispers about Yunxuanmen, and then the crowd gradually dispersed, which shows that Yunxuanmen has a considerable influence in the current dynasty. influence.

Ning Jingyuan remained silent the whole time, but had no expression on his face, and a pair of deep blue eyes looked at the young man dozens of steps away, and An Xi also quietly watched the latter.Finally, the young man spoke first, "Does this brother know this qin music?"

""Phoenix Seeking the Phoenix"." Tranquility said without thinking.

The young man in Tsing Yi frowned and smiled, a mole of tears at the corner of his left eye stood out, "Let's play this song for Qingshan, I think Qingshan knows what I want."

"Master." An Xi asked, "What is Fengqiuhuang?"

"Xiao'an." Ning Jingyuan's eyes were still focused on the young man while speaking, "It is said that Sima Xiangru was here in the Han Dynasty and played this song for his wife Zhuo Wenjun to express his affection."

"Oh?" Before An Xi could reply, the young man on the stage said with great interest: "Brother, do you know Zhuo Wenjun?"

Tranquility was still expressionless, he raised his hand in a bow: "I just know a little anecdote."

"Brother, if you want to, I would like to play the song "White-headed Song", but unfortunately... Lanzhou reminded me." The young man in Tsing Yi looked indifferent, showing a little regretful smile, then he lowered his eyebrows and tied the white Yaoqin with a cotton rope. tied up.

"See you." He carried the piano on his back, and looked back at Ning Jingyuan for the last time, the slightly smiling eyes were like the breeze and the moon.

After that, Tsing Yi left lightly.
