Wait a minute, heroine

Deep in Wushan Mountain, the silver moon is like a hook.

In the rugged mountains and fields, two figures walked side by side up the hillside and stopped in front of a cave with a collapsed entrance.

The deep mountains and old forests are deserted, but some battle scars can be seen on the ground, and there are still many flying knives and flying needles left on the ground.

And in front of the bushes not far away, there was a corpse hanging upside down. It had been exposed to the sun and heavy rain, and it had rotted and emitted a foul smell.

Cao Aning wore a bamboo hat and dressed up as a charlatan, carrying a straight knife wrapped in black cloth. He squatted in front of the bushes. After carefully examining the body for a long time, he said in a deep voice:

"If I'm not mistaken, Mr. Lu should have committed suicide."

Next to Cao Aning was a man in a brocade robe, aged in his early thirties. Hearing this, he pointed to the hole made in the ground:

"My whole body is covered with injuries and I was beaten like this. Are you telling me that this is suicide?"

Cao Aning signaled to calm down and pointed to the right hand of the corpse:

"Master Lu picked up a hidden weapon. It seemed that he wanted to sneak attack a master who was far more powerful than himself, but he accidentally planted the hidden weapon in his own hand. I guess the other party was quite surprised. He didn't bother to apply the weapon afterwards. He said that the murderer meant to kill. It's true. It’s a bit far-fetched.”

"I, a member of Jieyun Palace, died in the wilderness. If we don't find out, wouldn't it become a joke in the world if word spreads about it?"

"Wuzhou is so chaotic and in the wilderness. If it rains heavily, there will be no traces or traces."

Cao Aning stood up, put his hands on his hips and sighed:

"Let's do business first, don't delay our schedule."

The man in the brocade robe clenched his fists and checked the surroundings for a long time. He found that the murderer was leaking water and left no clues that could be used to deduce his identity. He could only put the matter aside for the time being and said:

"The news just came that Xuanyuan Dynasty has been removed from the Jianghu, and the new swordsman is called Night Terror Hall. Have you heard of it?"

Cao Aning obviously also knew the news. He raised his hand and wiped his face with a look of helplessness, "The King of Hell asked me to die at the third watch, who can keep me until the fifth watch":

"We know each other. When we were in the capital, we had a fight with him at the Yamen Morgue and stabbed him four or five times."

?

The man in brocade frowned, his eyes full of suspicion:

"You took four or five knives? Did you use scissors to fight with you that night?"

Cao Aning was not surprised at all by the man's doubts. After all, he didn't even know how he got out of the capital alive. He thought for a while and said:

"The King of Hell, Ye Da, knows things like a god, knows everything, and has opened the eyes of the sky. It is impossible to speculate based on ordinary people's knowledge. As long as he is here, I will never set foot in the capital. Don't say that I am a coward. You You’ll know when you go there later.”

The man in brocade robe frowned and said: "Not to mention other things, the title of 'Sword Chief' is enough for me to pay three respects. If I don't have to, I will not provoke him. But the higher-ups have already started planning, and they will definitely deal with it in the capital in the future. If a person is so omnipotent as you say, how can the higher authorities do anything?"

Cao Aning thought for a while: "When the manpower will eventually be exhausted, the Night King of Hell will not have three heads and six arms. Let's see if we can get rid of him then."

"Spend it..."

The man in brocade robe thought for a moment and said:

"The imperial court must be looking for the Dragon Elephant Picture. The Dragon Elephant Picture should be in the hands of Beiliang Thief Saint. How about we spread false news that Beiliang Thief Saint is going to steal Jiang Zahu. Maybe we can bring Master Xuanji and Ye Jingtang together." Lead us there together..."

Cao Aning thought this was a good note, turned around and said:

"Just write a letter to the superiors and let them make arrangements. Let's go to Beiliang first."

The man in brocade robe dug a hole on the spot, buried the body, and then walked side by side down the mountain. On the way, he asked again:

"Have you really fought against Xin Daokui?"

"Why are you lying to me? Those who can become Wu Kui have far better luck than ordinary people. It is not impossible for them to have a sudden enlightenment and greatly increase their skills in a short period of time. King Ye Dayan is much younger than me, and he will definitely be more powerful in the future. If we can find a way to accept him as For your own use..."

"What a man likes is nothing more than 'power, money, fame and sex'. The empress can give him all these things. Even if he is unwilling to submit to others and wants to be the emperor, he can still work for the country from the harem. This kind of person is definitely the best choice for the imperial court." Die loyal, don’t think about bribery, it’s more practical to win over the Pingtian Sect..."

"Too……"

…

——

Fast forward two days later.

On the straight channel of the Wuxi Grand Canal, countless ferries and cargo ships move smoothly under the warm autumn light.

On a merchant ship loaded with groceries, its three sails swelled into an arc in the air, looking like something a girl would feel great about.

At the rear of the merchant ship, there was a rope tied to the bow of a small awning boat.

On the awning boat, Xuanji, the real person with her skirt hanging in the air, was sitting on the bow of the boat, holding a homemade bamboo flute in her hand, playing a tune from all over the world:

"Du~wuwu~..."

Beside him, the bird lay lazily in his bamboo hat, swaying and basking in the little autumn sun, humming "chichi~" in his mouth.

In the canopy of the boat, Ye Jingtang was sitting cross-legged with his eyes closed, still recuperating his body.

The day before yesterday, we set off from the vicinity of Junshan Seventy-Two Islands and rowed out of Yunmeng Lake with bare hands. The birds were not worried, and they also changed their tricks to increase the 'wind resistance'. Although the scenery was beautiful and the beautiful people were company, the experience was not really good.

Fortunately, there were many ships coming and going in Yunmengze. After rowing only a dozen miles, we met a merchant ship heading to Wuxi to do medicinal materials business.

Ye Jingtang was injured and was knocked half to death while riding back. For this reason, he paid a few taels of silver as shipping fare and took a smooth sailing boat. The merchant ship was full of goods and had no place to live, so he tied the awning boat to to the back.

The merchant ship carried a large cargo capacity and did not move very fast. After two days of sailing, it passed the Wuxi River mouth and turned into the Wujiang River.

When the ship was leaving the mouth of the Wuxi River, a checkpoint set up by the imperial court appeared on the shore. There were also several warships patrolling the water to check the merchant ships entering and exiting the pass.

When Master Xuanji saw this scene, he suddenly remembered something, put down his bamboo flute, turned around and said:

"Night Terror Hall."

Ye Jingtang's eyelashes fluttered slightly, then he opened his eyes, stood up and walked out of the boat awning:

"What? Is there something going on?"

Master Xuanji picked up the wine gourd and took a sip:

"You seem to be in a bit of trouble. You are in the limelight for a while now, but before long, you will be ruined and everyone will cry out for a beating."

"Um?"

Ye Jingtang was a little puzzled, threw the stupid bird behind, and sat next to him:

"Why?"

"Swordsmen, like swordsmen, have a strong sense of martial arts. They pay attention to chivalry, grudges, and the rules of the martial arts. When necessary, they should use force to break the ban and resist the injustice of the court. This is especially true for swordsmen. And you are the deputy commander of the Black Yamen, one of the court's hawks. Dog King..."

?

Ye Jingtang's face darkened: "Can't you say Eagle King?"

"They're not all the same."

Master Xuanji continued: "If you are close to the imperial court, you will naturally be far away from the Jianghu, and you will be rejected by the Jianghu people. Not to mention the Black Yamen, it is a Yamen that specializes in dealing with Jianghu heroes, and countless people hate it.

"I'm afraid your reputation in the future will be similar to that of the dead eunuchs of the previous dynasty. Relying on the favor of the emperor, you were slanderous, autocratic, cruel and unscrupulous. You bullied men and women and harmed the righteous people in the world. If nothing happens, you will soon surpass the Xuanyuan Dynasty and become the best in history. The most infamous swordsman ever."

Ye Jingtang chuckled at this:

"Justice is in the heart of the people. Those who do evil will respect me as a role model, and I will kill them. People with good character, even if they look down upon me, I will not be embarrassed in the slightest. I will naturally have a good reputation. Happy, but no, I really don’t care.”

Master Xuanji raised his eyebrows, approving of these words, and handed over the wine gourd:

"You mean, power, money, fame and color, you can only live in color?"

Ye Jingtang took the wine gourd, his expression was a bit speechless and did not say anything. As soon as he raised the wine gourd and took a sip, he noticed from the corner of his eye that several large ships were approaching on the river in the distance.

"grumble?"

The bird taking a nap behind the back immediately became energetic when he saw this, fluttering its wings and flew towards the ship...

——

Earlier, between the fleet.

After learning the news that Ye Jingtang became famous in the battle of Junshantai, Dongfang Liren was eager to return. King Wu and those involved in the rebellion case had also been arrested. After working overtime and all night to arrange the messy chores, Dongfang Liren was about to return. Taking some of the courtiers and the imperial army with them, they set out and returned first.

Luo Ning and Pei Xiangjun were the confidante of Ye Jingtang. Naturally, it was difficult for Ye Jingtang to resign when Ye Jingtang didn't come back. They followed Prince Jing's ship and stayed in the room without showing much publicity.

And the Queen Mother, after so many days of traveling and traveling, had to set off fireworks and then go back home, she would definitely be unhappy.

At this time, the large room on the third floor of the treasure ship was filled with rare objects collected from Prince Wu's Mansion. The polished mirror screen was folded and erected on the wall.

The Queen Mother was dressed as a female official, looking at the scenery on the river with a telescope, and said quietly:

"It only takes a few days to go to Jiangzhou from here. When you get the Night Terror Hall, you can go back with your mother. I have been in the palace for so many years, but I have no credit for my hard work, and my seniority is here..."

Dongfang Liren was dressed in military uniform, holding a shiny sword in his hand, concentrating on practicing his sword skills, hoping to get rid of the night terror hall as soon as possible.

Hearing the words, Dongfang Liren responded:

"I have thousands of people with me, and the itinerary has been arranged. If I run around, I will definitely be impeached by the court officials. When I am free in the future, I, Master, and Ye Jingtang will protect the Queen Mother when she returns to her hometown to visit relatives... …”

The Queen Mother knew that it was unrealistic to go south now, and all she wanted was hope, so she sighed softly:

"Then we agreed, if you dare to lie to me, I will learn from "The Secret History of Marie Claire"... eh?"

While the Queen Mother was talking, she noticed something was wrong on the river. She looked carefully through the telescope and saw a small tail hanging from the back of a large ship a few miles away.

Looking carefully, it can be seen that it is a small awning boat, with a man and a woman sitting on the bow. The man is dressed in black, chatting and laughing happily; the woman's white skirt is like snow, and she looks charming...

The Queen Mother was happy at first, but then she frowned and squinted her eyes to take a closer look - the two of them were sitting side by side on the bow of the boat, talking about something, and Shuishui, who had never been serious, even handed the gourd of wine he carried with him to the handsome man next to him. , looking like a husband and wife accompanying each other...

? ? !

The Queen Mother felt as if she had been struck by lightning. The moment she saw this scene, she already thought of Shuishui's child, whether she should be called grandma or aunt.

Oh my God……

The Queen Mother's eyes were full of disbelief, and just as she was about to take a closer look, she spotted a ship on the opposite side, and Hou Ye Jingtang quickly stood up...

Isn’t this a guilty conscience?

Seeing that the Queen Mother was silent, Dongfang Liren put away his sword and came to the back:

"What's wrong?...Huh? Is that Ye Jingtang and Master?"

"..."

The Queen Mother put down the telescope, her eyes were very complicated, but she couldn't talk about such unconfirmed things, so she could only write it down silently...

——

After a while, the small awning boat docked under the treasure ship.

Master Xuanji flew directly onto the ship's building, while Ye Jingtang landed on the deck. Countless black yamen chiefs had been waiting for a long time, and all came forward to express their congratulations:

"Master Ye is amazing..."

"The heart of humble admiration is like a torrential river..."

…

The chief arresters of the black yamen are all masters. Although they are not in the Jianghu, their yearning for Wu Kui is not much lower than that of ordinary Jianghu people.

In addition, Ye Jingtang is usually very easy-going in the yamen and has good relationships. At this time, several acquaintances were ready to take out their knives and ask Ye Jingtang to carve two words on it.

Fortunately, Da Benben quickly walked down from the ship building, showing a calm and confident look:

"I just went on patrol when I had nothing to do. What are you doing here?"

There was an immediate silence on the deck, and a bunch of chief officers fled in all directions.

Ye Jingtang secretly breathed a sigh of relief, came to him and bowed his hands:

"Your Highness."

Dongfang Liren stood with his hands behind his back, trying his best not to be excited, and looked up and down:

"How's the injury?"

"It's not serious, I just need some time to recuperate."

Dongfang Liren turned around and walked into the ship building. When there was no one around, he raised his hand and pressed Ye Jingtang's wrist to check. When he saw that the injury was not serious, he was relieved and said in a slightly jealous tone:

"It's only been a few months, and he has become the master of swordsmanship..."

Ye Jingtang smiled and said: "If His Highness hadn't taught me the Dragon Slaying Order and given me the Jade Bone Diagram, I wouldn't have been able to defeat the Xuanyuan Dynasty. My victory was all due to His Highness's cultivation."

"Hmph~ How long have you been the deputy commander? You've learned how to flatter yourself in an official manner..."

Dongfang Liren was in a very good mood, and his tone became a little softer:

"This time you put down King Wu's rebellion. You took the lead and won the title of Sword Leader. I will definitely reward you heavily. Tell me, what reward do you want?"

"reward……"

Ye Jingtang turned his head and glanced at the bright and attractive Da Benben, thought for a while and said:

"I also want to make up for His Highness, as long as Your Highness doesn't mind the previous offense."

Dongfang Liren asked Ye Jingtang to pay off his debts in Canyangchi. He didn't expect that Ye Jingtang could work so hard. Even if he didn't mind, he felt ashamed and embarrassed in his heart.

Although Night Terror Hall did not take the initiative, the rules of clear rewards and punishments for superiors cannot be broken.

Dongfang Liren walked up the stairs slowly and glanced at the Night Terror Hall:

"How about I draw you a picture album?"

"Um?"

Ye Jingtang paused, remembering Benben's lifelike painting skills, his eyes lit up:

"The heroic lady cried?"

Dongfang Liren took a breath, nodded and said:

"If you want it, I won't spoil your interest, even if the heroic lady sheds tears. But... you can't draw shameless scenes like that, you can only draw handles and the like..."

Ye Jingtang quickly shook his head and seriously enlightened:

"It's just painting. This is art about the human body and cannot be viewed from a secular perspective. Of course, if His Highness feels uncomfortable, I won't force it..."

Dongfang Liren saw that Ye Jingtang wanted him very much. Although he felt that he was horny, he still couldn't bear to refuse and took a step back:

"Anyway, I can't draw that kind of abnormal plot. The most I can do is ride a horse... ahem..."

"..."

Ye Jingtang felt that he had completely misled Benben and wanted to laugh. Before he could raise the corners of his mouth, he was pinched at the waist. He quickly raised his hand:

"Hiss - there are injuries, there are injuries..."

Dongfang Liren's calm expression changed, and he quickly let go and rubbed Ye Jingtang's waist:

"Okay, you go lie down in the room and have a good rest. Ning'er and the others are in the backmost room on the second floor, with two pairs of doors. You...the queen mother is up there, don't be so arrogant!"

Ye Jingtang understood the meaning and said helplessly:

"I can't walk right now, so what can I do? I'm going to rest first. When will His Highness be able to finish painting?"

"Do you think my handwriting is the same as that of those small workshops that paint New Year pictures? A whole book can't be finished in just a few months..."

"hehe……"

…

——

At the same time, on the top floor of the ship.

Niaoniao, who had been wandering around outside for a few days without doing anything, acted like he had done a lot of hard work. He lay half-dead on the terrace and let Hongyu feed the little strips of meat.

Master Xuanji leaned on the couch, unfolded the scroll, and told the Queen Mother about the experience of Junshan Terrace.

But the Queen Mother obviously had no intention of paying attention to this. After chatting for a while, she suddenly asked:

"Shui'er, tell me honestly, did you do anything to the Night Terror Hall when you went out this time?"

Master Xuanji was puzzled and looked at the curious baby who was pretending to be serious:

"do what?"

"That's it...you must understand what I mean, don't act stupid!"

Master Xuanji really understood, shook her head and sighed: "Why don't you doubt whether the Night Terror Hall did something to me?"

"How is it possible? You are so good at martial arts, what can he do to you if you don't give him a chance? Besides, how can a decent person like Ye Jingtang have any thoughts about you? On the contrary, you are so arrogant..."

?

When Master Xuanji heard this, she finally understood how Luo Ning felt when she questioned Luo Ning last time.

"Do you think that I will take the initiative to hook up with the Nightmare Hall?"

"Um."

The Queen Mother said seriously: "I just saw it with my own eyes. You gave him the wine gourd and let him drink..."

"Inviting him to drink is just hooking up? Then if he sets off fireworks for you to make you happy, doesn't that mean he already has a deep love for you?"

The Queen Mother was stunned, blinked her big eyes, and moved closer:

"Yeah?"

Master Xuanji was speechless and said seriously:

"You are the queen mother of the dynasty, so you have to pay attention to your status and your words. What if this is heard by others?"

The Queen Mother thought so, so she stopped talking...

——

On the second floor of the ship, in the room near the stern.

In order to have someone to take care of them on the road, Pei Xiangjun and Luo Ning lived together. When they heard that the night terror hall was coming back, the two women were a little impatient.

Ye Jingtang defeated Xuanyuan Chao and completed a blockbuster feat. It was unbelievable to others, but the two pillowcases naturally had to be calmer. After all, they knew how deep Ye Jingtang was and how important it was to occupy a place in Wu Kui. Sooner or later.

The two were anxious, more worried about Ye Jingtang's physical condition.

Luo Ning wanted to be more conservative, sitting upright on the chair, pretending to be a cool and charming lady, so as not to let the night terror come in and find her worried, but the action of stroking the tea cup still revealed the anxiety in her heart.

Pei Xiangjun, on the other hand, was not so particular. He was wearing a goose-yellow skirt, pacing back and forth with his hands folded on his waist. Sometimes he would stick to the door to eavesdrop, with a frown on his face. He obviously felt that the Queen was disgusting and hard to talk to. exit.

After waiting for a while, footsteps finally sounded in the corridor.

Pei Xiangjun quickly put on a mature and steady posture, opened the door gently, and saw that Ye Jingtang was the only one in the hallway, he said:

"Jingtang, His Highness Prince Jing has gone up?"

"Um."

Ye Jingtang quickly came to the door, raised his hand and gave a bear hug to the charming Sanniang, looking slightly satisfied:

"I'm the chief swordsman now, am I powerful?"

Pei Xiangjun was afraid that the palace maid would see him, so he quickly pulled Ye Jingtang into the room, and then said:

"Awesome. When Ning'er first received the news, she jumped up and was as happy as a monkey..."

Snapped--

Luo Ning, who was sculpting her hair, raised her eyebrows when she heard these words, and patted the tea table with her hand:

"Who is as good as a monkey? If I hadn't stopped you, you would have sneaked away to Junshan Terrace without changing your clothes, and you would have said that I..."

"I was worried about Jingtang's safety."

Pei Xiangjun held Ye Jingtang's wrist and took the pulse:

"How's your injury?"

Ye Jingtang rubbed his waist: "My whole body aches even when I walk, and I haven't recovered even after resting for a few days. Xuanyuan Chao is really domineering. I didn't expect him to be so big before he was seen in front of others. Tu Jiuji was so big when he stood in front of him." Considered a little fat guy..."

Luo Ning originally wanted to be aloof, but seeing Ye Jingtang's appearance, she still couldn't hold it back. She stood up and came to him, lifted up her sleeves and looked at:

"Is there anyone who can wield the Junshan Sword weighing more than 300 kilograms? Xuanyuan Chao estimated it to be more than 300 kilograms, and he has gone through a lot of tricks. If you hit the sword with all your strength, there are not many people in the world who can catch it. You will definitely suffer a loss if you try hard. …”

Seeing that Luo Ning was still trying to discipline the man, Pei Xiangjun replied:

"If I don't fight hard, is it difficult to learn how to dance the Nine Palace Steps like you and wait for Xuanyuan Chao to spin his sword?"

"you……"

"alright."

Ye Jingtang raised his hand and said with a smile:

"Help me give me some medicine. I have been giving medicine myself for the past two days on the road. The awning boat is as big as the palm of my hand and there is no comfortable place to lie down. I really need to take a good rest."

Seeing this, Luo Ning stopped arguing with her mother-in-law, helped Ye Jingtang lie down on the canopy bed, and helped take off her shoes.

Pei Xiangjun estimated that Master Xuanji would not be able to heal Jingtang, and must have been holding it in for several days. After thinking about it, he took a photo from behind Luo Ning's waist who was leaning over:

Pa~

"I'll apply the medicine while you get down to business."

Luo Ning straightened up, her beautiful peach eyes looking slightly annoyed:

"He's injured like this, and you're still torturing him? He's been injured for a hundred days. Let him recuperate in the past three months..."

"Um?!"

The weak look in the night terror hall disappeared, and he sat up in a state of dying illness:

"It's just a little strain, not bedridden..."

Luo Ning knew that Ye Jingtang would be like this. She pushed Ye Jingtang back and let him lie down:

"It's broad daylight. Master Xuanji and the others are up there, and there are many maids around. You're not afraid of being heard."

"I mean you don't need to rest for three months, and you won't have to go back for a few days..."

"snort……"

…

While chatting, several ships full of Imperial Guard officers slowly sailed into the mouth of the Wuxi River under the clear autumn light of the blue water and sky, heading towards the distant capital...
