the enlightener says

During dinner, Gongshu Yinyu talked about the giant snowman in the yard several times, but Gongshu Yinxue diverted the topic. Qin Ke was also absent-minded about the meal, thinking about the agreement with Cai Yan.

After that, Qin Ke greeted Gongshu Yinxue and went out with a lantern.

He looked up and looked around, the sky was cloudless, the moon was bright, and the stars were at their brightest, shining brightly like jewels in the sky. Among the stars, there appeared a big swaying bird, it Flying in the wind, up and down, left and right, although alone, but leisurely.

And below it, on the top of the high wall, there is a ray of veil fluttering slightly in the wind. A slender figure walks slowly along the ridge of the roof, stepping on the frozen white snow at the bottom, like a woman falling with snowflakes. Winter fairy.

The bird is not a real bird, it is a kite.

Qin Ke smiled, jumped lightly, climbed onto the eaves with one hand, and with a little force, he swung his entire body against the wall like a pendulum twice, and walked to the side of the figure in a few steps.

"You even climbed on the roof to fly a kite...Aren't you afraid that people from the public loser will see you?"

"Today there are many stars and the wind is very good." Cai Yan giggled, "Why did you come so early?"

"Where's Lao Gao? Are you ready?" Qin Ke took the kite string in Cai Yan's hand, and gently pulled it skillfully. The kite flew higher and higher, as if shoulder to shoulder with the moon.

"I don't know if he's ready or not. Anyway, I already know the place. I'll take you there in a while. Now... there should not be a shift change there yet." Cai Yan put her hands behind her back and looked up at the eagle spreading its wings high. Flying kites, smiling sweetly.

From Ding'an City all the way to Funiu Mountain, Qin Ke got used to flying kites with Cai Yan.

When he was young, he also liked kites. His father taught him the craft of weaving kites from bamboo. Later, he made two kites. One was an eagle, which was a bit ugly, and the other was a white dove, which was more delicate. So he Sent it to Master.

It's just that Zhuge Wolong always sat and watched him play on the ridge of the field. After he left, the white dove never flew up again. It was always hanging on the wall of the hut, as lonely as Zhuge Wolong's thin figure.

"It would be great if this kite was bigger." Qin Ke joked, "In this way, both of us can sit on the kite and fly."

But his joke made Cai Yan's eyes shine immediately: "Yes! We are the losers in public!"

"Ah?" Qin Ke was a little confused.

Cai Yan slapped Qin Ke on the head lightly, and said with a smile, "Fool, have you forgotten what the public loser is most famous for?"

Qin Ke was dumbfounded, looked at the kite in the sky, and thought for a while: "Before...was a high official in Jicheng?"

"It's tricks!" Cai Yan had an expression of hatred for iron and steel, "You must not be able to make the big kite you mentioned, but it doesn't mean that the public loser can't make it..."

Qin Ke suddenly realized: "That's true. Maybe we can really make such a big kite by relying on public losers in the future. Then can we ride it all the way and fly back to Daoxiang Village?"

The corners of Cai Yan's mouth turned slightly: "Daoxiang Village? Oh, it's the place where you lived, right? Maybe... you can fly to higher and farther places. You can fly out of the Mo family, overlook the sea, cross the Great Wall, and go to the pole. Land of the North!"

Qin Ke scratched his head: "Besides the Great Wall? Apart from beasts, there are only icebergs and thick snow that don't melt all year round. It's deserted. What's the point?"

"I don't care, I want to go anyway." Cai Yan reached out and grabbed his sleeve, "Okay, it's almost time."

"Huh? But the kite..."

"No more." Said, Cai Yan snatched the kite string from Qin Ke's hand, and threw it casually. The wooden sticks tied with the kite strings were spinning in the air, and countless kite strings were scattered, like a dense wave. rain curtain.

The big bird in the sky finally disappeared into the vast sea of ​​stars, drifting farther and farther away, and Cai Yan looked back at the kite that was already at ease, and giggled with his head down.

Qin Ke jumped down from the high wall, then turned around and raised his hand towards her, saying, "Come down."

Cai Yan jumped and fell into Qin Ke's arms.

Speaking of which, the first time I saw Cai Yan changing back into a woman's attire, she jumped off the high wall like this and jumped into his arms.

Qin Ke was still slightly dazed, but Cai Yan had already patted his lapel, and pulled Qin Ke to run in the direction of another corridor.

In the evening, Gongshujia had a peaceful and peaceful atmosphere. Only some servants and nurses would walk around with lanterns. Everyone looked respectful when they saw Qin Ke. After all, he was able to fight Gongshucha. And in that assassination, he fought hard against the assassins and protected Gongshu Yinxue's thoughtful "new son-in-law". Therefore, even if he ran wantonly in Gongshu's house on such a night, no one would step forward to stop him, but they all fell down. Head, bowed and saluted.

It's just that seeing Qin Ke and Cai Yan holding hands, talking and laughing all the way, they couldn't help feeling a little strange in their hearts.

Why is this Gongshu Yinxue's husband so close to other women?Speaking of which, wasn't this woman brought by Mr. Gao from the third master...

If this news reaches Gongshu Yinxue's ears, what should she think?What should Gong Shuren think?

Thinking of this, they couldn't help muttering a few more words in their hearts: "This uncle is too ignorant, relying on his martial arts to become a loser, it's only been a few days, and he has become restless..."

They are the servants of the public loser, so they will naturally fight for the public loser Yinxue. When Qin Ke and Cai Yan disappeared around the corner, the servants all bent over, looked at each other, held the lantern, and walked quickly leave.

Under Cai Yan's leadership, Qin Ke and her carefully hid in the flowers and plants, but the space here is too small, so the two naturally stood next to each other.

Qin Ke smelled the fragrance of orchids coming out of Cai Yan's hair again, and a naughty moonlight shone through the leaves and shone on her warm neck, as smooth as a jade carving.

However, before Qin Ke was disturbed, Cai Yan covered his mouth with one hand, and covered his own with the other hand.

Soon, a night patrol team composed of three people slowly came out from the corner. Qin Ke could hear their strong heartbeat and steady pace. The smell of iron and blood.

What is certain is that even if these people are not practitioners, they should be experts in the army, and it is so late, they are still patrolling here, are they searching for something, or protecting something?

Cai Yan moved his hand away when the three of them walked slowly in front of them and went to another path.

"...Why do you still drool on my hands?" Cai Yan looked at her palms, under the moonlight, her expression showed disgust.

"I..." Qin Ke blushed.

"It's disgusting..." Cai Yan wiped Qin Ke's clothes vigorously, frowning.

However, she quickly put her mind back to the situation in the field. Although Qin Ke was about to stand up, she was still held by her forcefully. She didn't let go until the second team of fully armed guards passed by. He took a breath, stood up from the flowers and plants, and whispered: "There are four teams of them, but I calculated the interval between their patrols, and they will not come for at least a quarter of an hour."

She pulled Qin Ke out, turned around and walked towards the deeper courtyard, walking extremely slowly, even subconsciously shrunk his head, Qin Ke also bent down, his eyes were wary Scanning from both sides, they really looked like two little thieves harboring evil intentions.

However, they were there to "steal" things.

Chapter 396 It's So Squeeze

"Cai Yan, Cai Yan, hello, Cai Yan." Qin Ke felt Cai Yan's footsteps getting faster and faster, and his heart was beating wildly in his chest, "There are people all around here, and I heard a lot of heartbeats. "

"Don't be afraid, Gao Yishui invited the ineffective son of Gongshu's family to drink before, and he made a lot of talk easily. The guards and patrols here are regular. Although the number of patrols outside is said, they don't know how to practice. We are careful to avoid it. Just open it. As for the inside... oh, adapt to the situation!" Cai Yan dragged him to the shadow of an eaves and penetrated perfectly into the darkness.

The two then climbed up a rockery, and climbed over a higher courtyard wall from the rockery. After Qin Ke supported Cai Yan and jumped down gently, Cai Yan immediately squatted down with his neck pressed down by force, and the two squatted in front of them. Okay, moving with difficulty, like two overfed groundhogs.

When sweat dripped from both of their heads, Qin Ke finally heard Cai Yan say in a mosquito-like voice, "Wait here for a while."

"Hmm... so crowded." Qin Ke found that the hiding place of the two of them was in a relatively remote corner of the courtyard, and knew that it was useless to complain.

In the distance, two guards with long knives and lanterns walked slowly towards the gate of the courtyard.Qin Ke's wind-seeing technique has already started, and what he heard is indeed a stronger heartbeat than before.

This is a symbol of strong qi and blood. Of course, when necessary, practitioners can also slow down the flow of qi and blood in some ways, conceal their pulsation of qi and blood, and hide their true strength.

It's just that concealing strength is also a labor-intensive thing. They patrol here all day, and there is no need to do such meaningless things.

"It's really cold, I have to warm myself up when I go back." One of them said.

"Tsk, we're pretty good here. Old Liu and Qi have to watch the night shift, so that's not a good feeling." Another person said.

"That's right, it's better to be frozen here than to go to the battlefield to fight in the future..." The one who spoke first patted his companion on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Although we have some cultivation, we can't stand on the stage, except to be a Watchdog, there is no other use."

As the priests of the public losers, they can enjoy the generous treatment of the public losers inside, and outside, they are also dignified family members, and the most taboo thing about them as people in the world is to be involved in the disputes of great wars. Although most practitioners have blood in their chests, they also understand how much energy they have. When two armies confront each other and tens of thousands of people collide with each other, the momentum is like raging rivers and raging floods. In the face of such a powerful force, even one The little master who came into the room was also as insignificant as a grain of rice.

Among the chaotic army, how many people can they kill with their blood and martial arts?ten people?Hundreds of people?

And even if they try their best to fight, how much will it help the overall situation?The outcome of a war ultimately depends on the generals who use the troops and those ordinary soldiers who are fearless in front of the battle.

Only those practitioners who have truly entered the Dao of Martial Arts and achieved the realm of Grand Masters can stand firm in the chaos of the army. With their powerful practice, they can resist swords and swords without being damaged, and they can retreat like a gust of wind without loss. trace.

For example, Gao Changgong, the God of War in Jingwu, a top expert like him can naturally fight against an army of thousands of people with the strength of one person, but in these years, no one has really seen the scene of swallowing mountains and rivers, and it is more just a legend. .

Perhaps, only the ghosts who died under the iron hooves of Qingzhou Ghost Riders in the battle with the Tang Kingdom have seen it.

The two were talking, and they had passed the corner where Qin Ke and Cai Yan were hiding, but they didn't have Qin Ke's ability to see the wind, so it was impossible for them to find a bold man and a woman hidden in the shadow of the corner.

"Tch, if it's really against that Xiang Chu from the Tang Dynasty, I'm afraid it won't do any good for the old guys in the family to go up together."

He mentioned that it was the little masters of the public loser who were enshrined. Among these people, there were those who practiced Qi and blood, and there was also one who practiced spirituality.

Xiang Chu is not only well-known in the Tang Dynasty, but the two are obviously no strangers to him. Xiang Chu gradually gained the title of "Overlord" during the conquest of the Southwest, and this is not just praise for his military style.

The young Xiang Chu was already born with supernatural powers. When other children struggled to carry a hundred-jin load, he was able to pull out weeping willows, and he walked like flying with a load of hundreds of catties.Now he is 31 years old, and he is at the level of a great master. When Qingzhou Ghost Riders swept the Tang Dynasty, he was suppressing barbarians in the southwest. Otherwise, he might really be able to fight Gao Changgong before the battle.

The two gradually moved away, until the light of the lantern was almost invisible, Cai Yan let out a soft cry, "Oh, my feet are numb... it really squeezed me to death."

"I also think it's really crowded."

However, this voice was not from Qin Ke. After Qin Ke was stunned for a moment, he turned around suddenly, stretched out a hand, grabbed the figure in the darkness deeper in the corner, and pulled it away. come out.

"Old Gao! You bastard, when did you hide here?"

"Don't talk, don't talk, your clothes are going to be ruined." Gao Yishui patted Qin Ke's hand vigorously, "Hiding? What do you mean to hide? For a gentleman like me who comes and goes frankly on weekdays, using this word is probably a little bit I'm sorry."

"Try talking nonsense again?" Qin Ke poked him with his finger, and snorted, "He deliberately hid his breath and heartbeat, and he looks like a thief, but he has the nerve to talk about a gentleman with me."

Gao Yishui rolled his eyes, "Hey, you are heartless, I am kind enough to help you do things, if you want to be a thief, you are more thief than me!"

Of course Qin Ke knew what he meant by "doing things", and was at a loss for words at the moment, so he had to cough twice to cover up his embarrassment.

There was no other movement in the yard at the moment, except for the heartbeat and breathing sounds captured by Qin Ke's wind vision technique, there were only two sources left, at least fifty steps away from them.

"It's near the back mountain. I've been here twice before. Later, the young master Yincheng of Gongshu's family, who drank too much wine, told me a lot. It's really hard for him. A junior of the first level, he can't do anything for a long time. It's been three years, and I haven't really gone down to the underground palace at all... He said, hiss, what did he say? Abu, what did he say?"

At this time, a figure slowly stood up in the darkness, it was Abu with a wry smile on his face: "He said there is laurel in the underground palace."

Cai Yan was not intimidated by Abu's "You Gui", but mumbled, "There are four people crowded in such a small corner, and there is a big stupid one. No wonder I said it was so crowded."

Abu continued to smile wryly: "It's not my fault that I'm taller and stronger, is it?"

Qin Ke didn't want to listen to their chatter, so he hurriedly followed Abu's words and continued to ask, "What does Yougui mean?"

Gao Yishui looked up at the sky, and suddenly said with a solemn expression: "Maybe, it means literally!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Qin Ke visibly trembled, and Abu smiled and said, "That's right, you don't like this thing either, I was already frightened when I heard it..."

"Okay, okay, let's see how promising you are." Gao Yishui pursed his lips and asked them to look at Cai Yan's eager face, and his tone was slightly mocking: "Since we are all here, let's discuss it quickly , There should be two people guarding the gate on the night shift, and the shift changes at Maoshi, and they are all Qi and blood practitioners who are about to reach the third realm."

"Go to the back of the rockery over there first, so you can see it more clearly." Cai Yan tugged at Qin Ke's sleeve, "At least, let the prophet know himself and the enemy."

"Let's go!" Gao Yishui's eyes lit up, he was waiting for this sentence, then bent down, just like Cai Yan, carefully wiped the base of the wall and walked towards the rockery.

Cai Yan has a slender figure, and when she took light steps, she looked like a dexterous cat, while Gao Yishui followed closely behind, looking sneaky like a dog with its tongue out.

The eaves of the fence stretched out very long, and the tall buildings in the yard blocked a lot of moonlight. The four of them would inevitably have to walk in the dim light of night. people notice.

The courtyard is surprisingly large, but there is no sign of people living there. Once the popularity is gone, there will be no other sounds except for the slight chirping of insects. The moonlight coming in was covered by the shadows of the trees and swayed from time to time, as if osmanthus in white was wandering around.

It took the four of them a quarter of an hour to walk to the back of the rockery, and directly opposite them, there was a seemingly inconspicuous room. If it was in a neighborhood where ordinary people gathered, such a room would not It's not uncommon, but it's a bit unreasonable to be surrounded by big houses with high eaves and flying sky.

There was no light in the hut, like a cage sealed with boundless darkness, it was daunting.

"Heh, this should be what Gongshu Yincheng said." Gao Yishui's voice was so soft that people thought his words were hidden in his stomach, not on his lips.

In front of the door of the hut stood two tall guards with serious faces and straight backs, but they were chatting casually.

Qin Ke whispered: "If this is the entrance to the underground palace, what should we do with these two people? I...go over and knock them out?"

"Of course you can't be knocked out!" Gao Yi Shui smiled evilly, "If you get knocked out, you will always wake up. They are not fools, and they must immediately guess that someone has an intention to break into the underground palace."

Qin Ke looked at the smile on his mouth, and took a breath: "You...then you think I can't kill them? Don't...don't be kidding!"

"Who said I'm going to kill them?" Gao Yishui frowned, and gave Qin Ke a blank look, "I mean, do you think I'm a vicious, hopeless villain? I, Gao Yishui, have always been able to do it." Righteousness, sit upright, I will help the elderly when they fall, I will send the older girl home if she is lost, and I will buy another one for the child if his candied haws are robbed..."

"I bought the candied haws for him as a thank you." Qin Ke interrupted him angrily.

As for the instigator who robbed the candied haws, he was standing by the side watching the two of them with big eyes.

Gao Yishui didn't seem to care about Qin Ke's words, he waved his hand and took out something from his bosom, and said with a smile: "As for me, I had expected this kind of situation, so I brought this specially."

Cai Yan was the first to go up, and Gao Yishui's fingertips were pinching a long, thin tube with a layer of rough paper wrapped around it, about the thickness of a little finger.

"What is this?" Cai Yan stretched out his hand to grab it.

Chapter 397 Suddenly Looking Back

"This thing...can let us in?" Qin Ke frowned, carefully looking at the thin tube on Gao Yi's hand, "Are you sure you're not joking?"

"You have never seen the world at first glance." Gao Yishui snorted, and said proudly: "This is a good thing. I found someone to match it specially to deal with this situation. I even gave him a poetic and picturesque name. 'Suddenly look back'."

Of course Cai Yan had heard this poem before, and subconsciously answered: "But that man is in a dimly lit place?"

"Wrong, it's that person who has broken through the iron shoes and can't find a place." Gao Yishui shook his finger in front of his eyes, and corrected him: "To put it simply, it's the kind commonly used by hair thieves when people wake up. , they will only think that they have been sleepy for a long time, and some of them are even unfulfilled, wanting to return to their sweet dreams..."

Qin Ke covered his face: "You seem to have casually said something extraordinary..."

"Don't look at me with that look, I've never been a hair picker before." Gao Yishui said, "My friends in Jianghu gave me this match."

"Understood, so... your friend is a hair picker." Cai Yan nodded seriously, and moved behind Qin Ke.

"Uh..." Gao Yishui was at a loss for words for a while, but he couldn't refute it for a while. Indeed, his friends were all kinds of people. It's not unusual to have a friend who used to be a hair thief.

However, what he didn't expect was that Cai Yan poked his head out from behind Qin Ke, but his face was full of excitement, and he asked in a low voice: "Tell me how to use this, teach me, oh yes, there is also that prescription, do you remember?" Silence for me, such a fun thing, be prepared."

Are you prepared?What are you talking about?

Qin Ke supported his forehead, and there was a chaotic scene in his heart. This good only daughter of Cai Zhuguo, now in front of three men, asked how to prepare Mixin San?God knows what she plans to do with it!
