I am aging gracefully in the world of famous books

At this time, it was a severe winter day with heavy snowfall, and at midnight, the north wind howled, thousands of miles were frozen, and the world was full of chills.

On such a night, few people are willing to leave the warm and firm house and the warm and soft quilt to run around in the ice and snow.Even the most courageous and fearless Jianghu heroes in ordinary times can't help but feel frightened in the face of the wind and snow in Zhongzhou.

However, in front of a ruined temple more than ten miles away from Kaifeng Mansion, there were some people who were not afraid of the majesty of the snow and snow, and they must complete their plans before dawn.

"You, who are you?"

Lai Qiuhuang, who was famous in the rivers and lakes, fell in embarrassment, and the black double whips he usually used were cut off to the ground. He looked in horror at the woman holding the sword not far away, his face was pale and stiff, and his hands were trembling.

Hearing Lai Qiuhuang's trembling voice, the female swordsman floated closer.

She was wearing a pure black long fur, and on her head was a somewhat large mink fur hood with the brim drooping slightly, covering most of her face, making it difficult to see her features clearly.

However, her voice is extremely beautiful, especially on such a night when the wind is whimpering and screaming, the woman's voice is like a bubbling hot spring, warm, clear and soft.

It's a pity that the meaning in her words is not warm, but rather cold.

"I'm a person who is going to trade your life for a bounty bonus."

"Did the heroine deny the wrong person? I, I..." Lai Qiuhuang was dying.

"You are Lai Qiuhuang, I'm not mistaken. In the past seven or eight years, you have committed crimes at least once a month, and every time you commit crimes, you have raped, murdered and plundered a lot. Counting now, there are at least a hundred people who died tragically at your hands .”

As soon as the words fell, several sword lights roared towards Lai Qiuhuang, blooming blood flowers on Lai Qiuhuang's body.Every strike gave Lai Qiuhuang a sense of suffocation on the verge of death, but he didn't want to kill him immediately, but forced him to roll and dodge on the snow, and then meet the next horror.

The snow fell harder and harder, and the mountain wind became more and more bitter. Lai Qiuhuang's evasive movements became more and more difficult. After an unknown period of time, he finally couldn't help but begged:

"Woman... Fairy, I, I know my mistake, I really know my mistake, I am willing to change, I am a beast! I, I have unavoidable difficulties, woman, you are a good person, please listen to my explanation, this There are difficulties in it, sorry, I really know I was wrong..."

"What's the reason?"

Before Lai Qiuhuang could say a few more words to beg for mercy, the woman wielding the sword slowly stopped her attacking action.As she asked aloud, she held the sword flower behind her hand, and sheathed the Yuehua long sword in the blink of an eye, as if she had given up her plan to kill Lai Qiuhuang immediately.

When Lai Qiuhuang caught a glimpse of the other party withdrawing his sword, his eyes lit up immediately, and he couldn't help feeling a strong ecstasy in his heart.

He gritted his teeth and thought to himself, it turns out that this crazy girl with strong swordsmanship is a fledgling newcomer in the rivers and lakes, and she only needs a few words of confession to dispel her killing intent.

"Fairy...Fairy, thank you for giving me a chance to repent...I, I have a problem. This, ahem, is a secret. I just want to tell you..."

The female swordsman took two steps forward, bent down to listen to Lai Qiuhuang's whispers.

Lai Qiuhuang panted heavily with a "ho ho", and made up two nonsense sentences intermittently.It's just that before he finished speaking, Lai Qiuhuang, who had been begging for mercy on the ground wearily, suddenly jumped up, and at the same time his palms fluttered, and he shot out his unique hidden weapon, the death nail without hesitation.

At this time, the distance between the two was extremely close, and the woman had put her long sword back into its sheath. The death nail that came out of nowhere was close to the female swordsman's eyebrows almost as soon as it was shot out, and could kill someone in an instant.

"You don't have to thank me," the woman who was attacked said slowly, as if she didn't know the danger was close at hand, "I didn't intend to let you go, I just prepared to make the best use of it."

At the same time as she uttered the first word, an invisible sword qi slashed across, knocking away the death nail that was approaching the woman's forehead at the very moment.

Immediately, the female swordsman slenderly pointed at Lai Qiuhuang's eyebrows, and at this moment, she just finished saying the last word "use".

What was even more unexpected was that the female swordsman's light touch made Lai Qiuhuang, who has always been vicious and vicious, unable to move. His pupils constricted, and he stared in horror at the beautiful lotus face under the mink fur hood.

At this point, Lai Qiuhuang finally saw the true face of the female swordsman and the appearance of the enemy.

If he saw such a beautiful and moving face on weekdays, Lai Qiuhuang would definitely plunder and rape it for himself, but at this moment, he dared not have any dirty thoughts.Because he clearly felt that with the touch of this mysterious woman's fingertips, the internal strength he had trained hard for many years was continuously disappearing.

In just a cup of tea, one-third of his internal energy has flowed out.

Lai Qiuhuang, who had been fighting fiercely for many years with all his strength, was about to burst into tears. He wanted to yell and stop him, but he couldn't make any sound.His face was flushed red and purple, and veins popped out of his forehead, but he could only be a fish and meat at the mercy of others.

After a while, this gangster master who robbed money, picked flowers, and did everything was finally passed out on the ground like a puddle of mud, no longer able to do anything wrong.

Beiming Divine Art stopped absorbing internal energy, Pei Xiang's fingers left Lai Qiuhuang's eyebrows, she sat cross-legged on the spot, and began to methodically regulate the abnormally abundant internal energy in her body.A week later, she slowly opened her eyes and sighed with a smile:

"As expected of the villain who the master of Renyizhuang offered a reward of 500 taels of silver, this body's internal strength is indeed stronger than those of 100 taels or 200 taels of silver, but it didn't waste my hard work."

After lamenting her harvest, the woman who seemed to be talking to herself suddenly looked into the ruined temple gate.If Qing Lingling's gaze had any substance, it directly landed on an inconspicuous corner, making the eyelids of the young man who was standing inside holding his breath watching the whole battle twitch, realizing that he had been spotted by the other party.

"Miss Pei, let's meet again." Shen Lang tightened his fur, and walked out of the shadows slowly, with a slight smile on his lips.

Pei Xiang got up from the snow and brushed off the falling snow.

"Shen Shaoxia, it's freezing cold, why did you come to this dilapidated temple where the wind is blowing all around?"

Shen Lang smiled helplessly, stood in the temple and beckoned to Pei Xiang:

"Miss Pei, come in and talk. I have firewood and fire pockets here, as well as a jug of good wine. It may be able to withstand the cold of the snowy night."

Pei Xiang glanced at the wind and snow in the sky, knowing that such weather is really not suitable for rushing back to the city, so he smiled at Shen Lang, regardless of Lai Qiuhuang, who was unconscious on the snow and had no internal energy, stepped on the thick snow towards the temple go.

Shen Lang took advantage of the bright light of the fire to take a closer look, and found that Pei Xiang walked all the way, like an ordinary person walking normally, but hardly left any footprints on the snow.

"Congratulations, Miss Pei, for improving her internal strength again."

"Shen Shaoxia hasn't answered my question yet."

Pei Xiang walked over to Shen Lang and stood still, gathered his furry neckline, and then retracted his hands into the light and soft black long fur, covering himself tightly, and did not help Shen Lang collect firewood at all. Plan to light a bonfire.

Shen Lang lit a fire and added more firewood quickly, and replied with a smile:

"Miss Pei asked knowingly, do you have to let me tell the purpose of this place myself?"

Pei Xiang's eyes rolled and he smiled.

Shen Lang sighed with a smile, admitted defeat indifferently and said:

"Okay, I admit that Miss Pei was more skilled this time and found Lai Qiuhuang one step ahead of me."

Seeing Shen Lang surrendering so easily, Pei Xiang snorted boredly.

"Hey, you are so boring."

"I'm just telling the truth. Miss Pei, do you drink?"

"I don't drink, but I can treat you to something."

Pei Xiang sat down on an open space cleared by Shen Lang, took out a bag of dried meat, a bag of chestnuts and a pot of ginger tea from his fur coat, and complained at the same time:

"Shen Shaoxia, you are calmer than a certain Buddhist disciple I know. If you say you admit defeat, you will admit defeat. Hey, your dispensable and casual attitude has completely weakened my sense of accomplishment."

Shen Lang took the food that Pei Xiang was carrying with him and helped her heat it up, thinking to himself, this girl is so well prepared when she goes out to hunt down the vicious underworld master.It did not affect the speed of her sword and the agility of her movements. It can be seen that her strength is stronger than what she showed.

"Ms. Shen admitted defeat frankly because Mrs. Shen knew that Ms. Pei was upright. The notice of arresting people in Renyi Village was posted inside. Anyone can follow the list on the notice to punish the perpetrators, and then go to Renyi Village to collect rewards and bonuses." Ms. Pei was able to find the place where the villain was hiding before Shen, and then used her strength to capture the villain without a fight. She relied on her real skills, and Shen admired her very much."

Pei Xiang was flattered by the praise, and secretly decided to distribute more food to Shen Lang later. However, she looked at the worn-out leather coat and hat on Shen Lang's body, and couldn't help but joked:

"Anyway, even if you get the reward bonus from Renyi Village, you seldom use it on yourself, or you'd change it to wine. It's really better to let me earn this money and buy more delicious food to reconcile what to wear."

Shen Lang nodded with a smile, showing a good temper.

Pei Xiang looked at the jumping flames with his chin in his hand, thinking that Shen Lang was probably born to be a good hero.

When he was ten years old, he donated Wanguan's family wealth to Renyi Village as a reward for eradicating rape and evil, and then he wandered around the rivers and lakes alone, donating money in a leisurely and unrestrained manner.Later, after many twists and turns, he became the Shen Daxia respected by everyone. He didn't care about power and fame, and chose to drift away with his friends and lovers, staying away from the vortex of fame and fortune in the world.

"Shen Lang, counting Lai Qiuhuang, this is the third time we have chosen the same target, right?"

Shen Lang let out a "hmm".

Pei Xiang continued: "Although I was lucky enough to complete the task ahead of you these three times, who knows the result of the next time? If you win, wouldn't I have wasted my time and energy? Shen Lang, I will take over." Renyizhuang's arrest warrant is for improving strength and earning some living expenses by the way, not really wanting to compete with you to win or lose. Besides, if you and I act separately, we will definitely be able to catch more criminals and stop them from continuing to do evil."

Shen Lang bent the corner of his mouth and asked in a gentle voice:

"Miss Pei means, let's inform the other party's goal in advance?"

"Do you think it's feasible? Is it convenient?"

"I think what Ms. Pei said is reasonable. It's just that Shen is wandering in the rivers and lakes, has no fixed place to live, and the time to go to Renyi Village to hand in tasks is also uncertain. I'm afraid I can't always contact Ms. Pei in time."

Pei Xiang smiled and said: "It's not difficult. At dawn tomorrow, I will go to Renyi Village to receive Lai Qiuhuang's bonus. Please Shen Shaoxia come with me. When the time comes, we will be in the wind with the notice of arrest." Take a good look at the wall, choose a few interested ones, and leave a special mark."

"A special mark?"

"Yes, after making a mark, it means that you or I have already selected a target, and those who go later can avoid the selected person and choose a new target."

Shen Lang took a sip of the wine, then handed the roasted dried meat to Pei Xiang, before he said with a smile:

"That's fine, just follow Miss Pei's suggestion."

Pei Xiang took the food, thanked Shen Lang, and ate supper while it was hot.

After a while, the ginger tea was boiling hot, so Pei Xiang poured himself a cup and held it in his hands, and persuaded Shen Lang to peel the chestnuts and eat them.

"Shen Lang, you have such a good temper, but you are also so proud."

Shen Lang paused for a moment when he peeled the chestnuts, and then said slowly:

"It's not pride. It's because I'm not smart enough. I can only take care of the few things I care about most in my heart. Therefore, I seldom have a temper in normal times."

Pei Xiang said "oh", thinking to herself, she is really proud.
