Da Deyun

The northwest is still peaceful, Qin Xiaoxian is only five days behind Meng Hetang.

The two walked in the streets and alleys of Yecheng, watching the vendors passing by and listening to the shouts of the vendors.

A few years ago, the city was still in the hands of barbarians.I thought it would have a barbarian atmosphere, but I never thought about it, but after a few years, there is no trace of being ruled by the barbarians.

Sure enough, things in the flesh and blood cannot be changed.

Of the two people walking in the alley, one is Qin Xiaoxian, and the other is not our hall master.As an imperial envoy, he is also secretly the chief general who leads the army secretly. There are many troubles and troubles, and there is no free time for him.

On the left, it was Qin Xiaoxian who just arrived, he was busy with nothing, so he pulled Liu Xiaoting and went out for a walk.

It doesn't look much different from other towns here, except that the climate in the north is drier. Even in winter, it is still bitterly cold in the desert, not as humid as the heavy snow in Shengjing's mid-winter.

"Why did you come here?" Liu Xiaoting is not a noisy person, and usually looks serious, walking slowly beside him with his hands behind his back.

The word hippie is never used.

"Master, I'm afraid I won't be able to think about it." Qin Xiaoxian dragged the end of his voice, and his tone was a little lazy.

He stopped in front of a small stall, and raised his hand to pick up the little puppet hanging on the horizontal bamboo row. This is something for coaxing children, and he still finds it interesting to play with it.

"You want to open some too." For some reason, Liu Xiaoting felt uncomfortable after hearing his sloppy answer.

What do you think, I'm obviously very bored in my heart, and I still talk like a normal person when I talk.But if he really figured it out, how could he make people feel "out of his body".

Said: "Everyone is mortal."

Sooner or later.

"Hey, look." Qin Xiaoxian interrupted him, holding the doll and shaking it in front of him, smiling so that his brows and eyes curled into half moons.

Liu Xiaoting rolled his eyes at him, turned around and continued walking forward.

Said: "Let's go, it's time to go back."

They weren't really in a panic because they didn't come to the northwest for sightseeing.The barbarians are different, and they have to pay attention; Brother Meng is an imperial envoy on the surface, so many people stared at him openly and secretly, and they have to dig things that can only be buried in the ground.

Before dusk, they had to lead a group of people and pretend to be civilians to Moling City.

Back then, Er Ye was recuperating there. It was a rare bustling town on the border; the goods and trade transactions to and from the northern border were there. They had to find a few secret informants to ask about the past, and if they could find out An insider of the prince's party that was wiped out by the barbarian leader.

It is really difficult to trace the internal affairs of other countries.

It is not far from Yecheng to Moling City, but after all, there are too many people, and the border has always been mixed with fish and dragons, and Baobuqi experts can tell that they are all Lianjiazi, and it is not a waste of people who seem to be enemies but not friends.

Dusk is the time when a group of merchants return to the city, and it is also the time when merchants from other countries enter the city to rest, so it makes sense if there are more people.

The person mentioned in the second master's letter is the shopkeeper in a tavern in Moling City. He is a smart person but unfortunately has no bottom line. He is a fool who does things when he is paid.

It's not that people are bad, it's just that such people know a lot and at the same time they are too tight-lipped, for fear that a wrong sentence will lead to death and bring disaster to the whole family.

On the way here, Liu Xiaoting was thinking about how to talk to people. It would be too embarrassing for the people who came out of Deyun Academy to be taken advantage of by others.

It was dusk when the two entered the city, and the crowds were surging.Without further delay, I searched for the restaurant according to the name of the restaurant I knew in advance.

The buddy said that the shopkeeper was not in the restaurant and went home.

After asking the address, the few people scattered in the crowd and went to the shopkeeper's private house.

The location is right, it is just around the corner in the folk alley behind the busy city.

The house looks pretty good, but no matter how quiet it is, it should be a little popular.When they arrived, they knocked on the door for a long time and no one paid any attention. They looked at each other and pushed the door open.

The gate was not locked, and the door of the small courtyard was half-closed, and it was unbelievably quiet inside.

Several people stood still in the yard, and they all smelled something wrong.The guard stroked the sword on his waist with his head sideways, vigilant about his surroundings.

Liu Xiaoting frowned, looked at the door lightly with his eyes, and approached slowly; there was an inconspicuous bloodstain on the bottom of the door!

There was a pause in his footsteps, and before he pushed the door open, Qin Xiaoxian pushed him away, turned around and swept his robe, and drew his sword behind his back!

The silver light of the sword flashed, and several staggered sounds.

A number of people in black flashed out from the house, fighting with Qin Xiaoxian and others, trying to escape; the clothes on the people in black were all damaged, it seemed that they had fought a bloody battle before they came, and they were getting weaker and weaker.

Before the problem in the room could be resolved, a few masked men in rough cloth fell down from the high wall, and the leader saw the figure of a woman.

This woman didn't seem to be here to kill. When she came over the wall, she met the black-clothed killer in the house. When she was struggling for a while, a few people stepped forward to help.

Break out of the chaos.

Qin Xiaoxian swung his sword and chased after him, so Liu Xiaoting naturally stayed behind to clean up the mess.

Tune the tiger away from the mountain but never succeed.

The woman in coarse cloth only took four people with her, and she also took care of the two or three men in black who were seriously injured.

Qin Xiaoxian's people were all elite soldiers who accompanied the second master to think about the battlefield. They were not injured and they were all masters. They turned around on the roof and blocked them at the entrance of the alley.

When Qin Xiaoxian landed, several masked men in coarse cloth were fleeing around the corner carrying the black-clothed killer on their shoulders.

The woman stopped and looked at him; she didn't know if she was in a daze, or she was planning to stay and hold them back, so that the injured men in black had a chance to escape.

The guards chased the fleeing man in black.

Qin Xiaoxian had a bodyguard beside him, who drew his sword and turned sideways to capture someone.

There are two plain-clothed and masked men guarding the woman, protecting her in the middle, holding the sword tightly in their hands, as if they would rather die than protect her.

She looked thin and weak, and her steps were weak and even a little messy. She looked like she was seriously ill, but it was undeniable that she had practiced embroidery boxing for two days.

The man in black is an assassin no matter what, if he can be captured, he will be interrogated, otherwise he will die.

Qin Xiaoxian didn't want to be distracted from looking for those men in black. The most valuable thing for this woman is to be surrounded by others; even if it is not the person they are looking for, it must be related to the person they are looking for.

Qin Xiaoxian pointed at her with his sword in hand.

her eyes.

"Who are you."

She looked at him, unable to speak a word, her fingertips trembling in her sleeves.His throat was fishy, ​​and he couldn't help covering his heart and coughing a few times.

Blood seeped through the sackcloth of the mask, and the stars were red.

Just these few coughs.

The person next to the woman seemed to be in a hurry, and quickly supported her; before she could react, Qin Xiaoxian's pupils shrank from the corner of the eye, and he came forward with a sword.

The five people's swords were intertwined, and the sound of clothes being ripped followed. Swords and swords were shining in the alley, and knife patterns were scattered on the stone wall.

A masked man fought with Qin Xiaoxian's guards and dragged his footsteps, while the other two stayed close to the woman, blocking Qin Xiaoxian's sword firmly.

I would rather be hit by the sword than dodge, and not give him the slightest chance to come close.

Qin Xiaoxian seemed to be possessed by evil, unlike his patience at the beginning, the ultimate move of sword and sword was to break the defense of the two of them.Seeing that he was about to be unable to hold on anymore, the masked man stabbed a sword in his chest and yelled a barbarian word.

It should mean to let the woman go first; the woman clutched her chest, her eyes were full of mist, watching the few people who were fighting hesitantly, when Qin Xiaoxian stabbed a masked man's chest with a sword, she finally turned and fled.

Qin Xiaoxian didn't love to fight, so he drew his sword and raised his leg to sweep, and kicked sideways on the masked man's neck; he turned over in the air and stopped in front of her!

The woman's breath was unsteady, and she was holding on to the wall a little bit precariously. His breath was slightly disturbed, and he raised his hand to stab the sword!

She waved her sleeves and turned sideways, turning her head to avoid it; even the killer couldn't dodge, let alone her, it was just a cover-up.

The moment he turned around to hide the sword, the edge of the sword changed direction, the sharp sword pierced through the hair, Qin Xiaoxian turned his wrist, one side of the blade, and one side of the ear, and the veil fell to the ground.

She stood still, her long hair was scattered, and her hair fell to the ground beside her ear.

Her eyes were still very lively, with gentleness in her cleverness, and the teardrops fell down in strings like broken threads.

Startled in place.

Qin Xiaoxian let go of his hand, and the sword fell to the ground crisp and cold.

His footsteps were as heavy as lead, and he looked at those eyes as if in a dream; overflowing from the corners of his eyes, sliding across his cheeks, turning a few waves on the scar, and finally dripping from his chin to the ground.

Her eyes narrowed sharply, and a short dagger slipped out of her cuff, dazzling with silver light.

The dagger pierced his eyes, and he suddenly woke up from his stupor, then turned around to avoid it, and grabbed her hand holding the dagger.

Turning to one side, the two lost their positions.

When Qin Xiaoxian turned around, the sword behind him that was stabbing at him had no time to take it back, a silver light flashed, and it couldn't be retracted, and it stabbed heavily into her arm.

"Old Qin!" Liu Xiaoting's voice came from outside the alley, and it sounded like it was only a few steps away.

He hugged her in his arms, and kicked away the masked man in front of him with his legs raised sideways.

But she pushed Qin Xiaoxian away, slipped away when he turned sideways, and rolled to the ground.One of the three masked men died, and the other two ran towards her a few steps to protect her.

Qin Xiaoxian stepped forward, as if he wanted to snatch her back.

The masked man sprinkled a handful of powder, and it was foggy in an instant. A few darts came over, and the guard swung his sword several times to block him;

"Old Qin!"

Liu Xiaoting's voice seemed to be in his ears, but he was too weak, and his eyelids were suddenly heavy and knocked down.
