Refinement

(One)

When Su Yulian woke up, it was the early morning of the second day, and Murong Yan never left, sitting at the small table, drinking and eating elegantly.Su Yulian sat for a long time before regaining his energy. The gauze on the edge of the bed was dangling in front of his eyes. He tore off the gauze and twisted it into a rope, and strangled Murong Yan's neck from behind. , I feel like I'm going to die soon.Su Yulian let her go at this moment, grabbed her hair and asked coldly, "Where is my knife?"

Murong Yan took out the short knife, leaned back and slashed at Su Yulian. Su Yulian let go of his hand and did not continue to attack.Murong Yan threw down the knife and said: "I saw that you were not sleeping well last night, so I specially untied it for you. Why do you react like this, do you think I can't beat you?"

"Knowing that you are good at kung fu, do you think I can't kill you?" Su Yulian quickly put the knife on, Murong Yan looked down at him secretly, saw him walking out, and followed him.Su Yulian suddenly found that Murongyan's hair was all up, looking like a married woman.absurd!Also kinda cute.Since he was a child, he knew that his time was numbered, and besides being jealous of people who lived long and healthy, he never thought of harming a girl from marrying him. Murong Yan's behavior made him want to be a bad person even more.He said, "If you have nowhere to go, come with me."

Murong Yan smiled, as if there was light shining from her eyes: "Okay."

"However, I have something to do now, and I will pick you up before noon. You can use this time to think about it, and if you regret it, you can leave before then."

Su Yulian did not leave Miaojifang, but entered another private room from her own.There were a few muscular men sitting upright in that private room, leaving the top position to Su Yulian.Su Yulian let out a long sigh: "What happened after I fell into a coma?"

The leading man said: "That woman lay on the edge of the bed and watched you all night, she didn't behave in any manner."

"..." Su Yulian said with a cold face, "Other than sending you to protect me, what else did the boss explain?"

"Pay close attention to the person or organization that threatens you, and bring you back if necessary."

Su Yulian rubbed his eyes, looked a little tired, and sighed again: "Jicheng has been mixed with dragons and snakes recently, don't be distracted by irrelevant people, the most important thing is to keep an eye on the government and the Xu family."

"Yes!"

Murong Yan followed Su Yulian back to the inn. It happened to be noon, and there were several tables of dishes in the lobby of the inn, and they were almost eaten.Murong Yan followed behind Su Yulian, deliberately blocking himself, as if he was a little embarrassed to show his face in front of so many people.Su Yulian pulled her to the front and introduced to Fushan: "Princess, this is my wife—Mu Ya."

"Ah! I match you very well." Fu Shan subconsciously looked at Luo Xian who was standing on the third floor, "Luo Hou has already seen it straight!"

Murong Yan's beauty attracted everyone in the hall, they stared at Murong Yan uncontrollably, but they didn't make Murong Yan feel uncomfortable at all, she was used to those superficial and greedy eyes.Instead, Su Yulian pointed to the room at the corner of the stairs on the third floor and said, "The third floor is my room, you go in first."

Luo Xian watched Murong Yan enter the guest room and slowly went downstairs.

Fu Shan said: "She is Murong Yan."

"The princess has good eyesight and knowledge."

Fu Shan: "Do you want to get Murong's family involved and share a share with us?"

Su Yulian: "The leftovers in Lord Hou's bowl are cold, isn't it enough?"

Fushan: "It's good that you know."

Luo Xian walked to Su Yulian's side: "Come out for a walk with me."

Fushan hurriedly said: "You guys want to talk alone, I can take them out first."

Su Yulian: "No need! We'll leave when Liuying comes back, so everyone gets ready."

It was the hottest time of the day, and there were few pedestrians on the street. Luo Xian and Su Yulian walked side by side, and walked out of the city along the shaded part of the street.There is no language, just walking forward at the same pace, listening to insects and birds.A long time ago, they used to take a walk together at the same time. They also walked together without talking. They guessed what the other person was thinking, and then found a place with trees and water to rest. Together, they each do their own things. Su Yulian likes to read books, and Luo Xian occasionally goes into the water to catch fish.

At this time, they stopped in front of a teahouse, and Su Yulian said, "If we go any further, we will be leaving the city and entering the mountains."

"Drink tea?"

"If you want to congratulate me, you should have a drink."

Suddenly, a short sword rushed straight between Luo Xian's eyebrows, Luo Xian dodged in time, and immediately became alert, but there was no movement around, as if there was just a gust of wind blowing just now.Usually there is only one chance to make a sneak attack secretly, Su Yulian said: "It seems that I am not the only one who has thoughts about you."

"Indeed." This is not the first time he encountered a sneak attack. Since he entered the officialdom and reached the sky in one step, he has entangled with the little devil many times at the gate of hell.

Su Yulian: "But not many people know that you are in Ji Cheng."

"Not much—what do you want to say?"

"Let me ask this, who is your biggest enemy in the court, who knows your situation best, who can benefit from your death, and who can replace you after you fall? Or is someone just trying to get rid of you?" -"

Luo Xian: "There is such a person, but he is just a coward who can only do small tricks behind people's backs, so don't think about him for now. That Murong Yan, how did you meet her?"

"Go back, Liu Ying should have returned."

Luo Xian was helpless, and compromised: "If you don't want to talk, just talk about something else, why come back again, and say what you want to say."

Su Yulian: "Tell me about the princess, do you regard her as a tool to climb up, or as an important person? Or tell me, since when did you have such ambitions, and when did you start planning to betray? My father? Do you want to say it, will you say it?"

"..."

Su Yulian walked in front, Luo Xian was always behind him, and suddenly said: "I met Fushan when I was very young, she was very beautiful at that time, I wanted to play with her, but she didn't want to talk to me, something happened later I have never seen her since I left the capital. Six years ago, the capital built Feng'anhou Mansion, and Fushan personally supervised it. I have been there twice, and I have become acquainted with her since then."

"So, did you also start planning to kill my father six years ago?"

Luo Xian: "When people are planning, they often ignore some accidents. Your father's death is an accident in my plan. I didn't take any useful information from Chishui Villa."

"In my opinion, it is useful information for you to know my father and everyone in the villa. The reason why the emperor uses you is very important. Of course, you also have to thank the princess for your kindness. Take it seriously."

"Fushan has no other purpose other than the status of a princess. Women have no right to influence the king." This is the rule, and it is also the helplessness of Fushan.

Su Yulian is not interested in those things: "If I want to kill her, you won't even be able to use her identity. As I said, I intend to destroy your important things."

"Although I really don't want you to do that, but if you want to be happy, she is not qualified."

Su Yulian's footsteps slowed down, his voice became softer, as if he was talking to himself, he said: "I've grown up so much, when will I be happy--" These words really made people feel distressed, Luo Xian also stopped, and stood not far from Su Yulian. Far away, quietly waiting for him.There are very few satisfactory things in this world. If you want to be happy, you will have to pay a painful price.

Everyone returned to Suxin Inn with their own concerns, Liu Ying had already returned, and everyone was ready to enter the mountain.

Set off on the road, the mountain road is silent, and the crescent moon is cold.A few cold stars are distributed on the sky, like a remnant chess game.The valley in the night is filled with a bleak chill, like a basin of cold water splashed on a person's face.But in Murong Yan's eyes, everything here is picturesque, as beautiful as a fairyland, surrounded by colorful flowers, verdant trees, and a faint fragrance in the air, which makes people mesmerized.

Suddenly, a bird chirping pierced through the lonely valley in the night, Murong Yan was startled, and retreated to Su Yulian's side, grabbed his arm, and complained softly: "Why are we moving at night?"

Liu Ying turned back and said: "There is an formation in the valley, even if it is the shortest and best way, the formation will change due to the change of time. Only during this time period, it is safest for us to walk here."

Murong Yan smiled and nodded: "Oh—thank you. I heard that there is a treasure in the valley, is it from which dynasty?"

Fushan looked at Su Yulian, then turned to Murongyan and said, "Did you follow me because you like treasures?"

Murong Yan grabbed Su Yulian tightly, and said timidly, "I'm not! I just want to follow you, trust me."

"Huh-haha-huh-haha-" This long laugh is weird and sharp, as if it was forced to the limit of endurance, but this laughter is sharp and penetrating, passing through everyone's eardrums, it seems to be able to wear Through the valley.The whole team was on guard, and there were many alert people among them, but none of them noticed that someone was following them. This strange laugh came from Dantian, which should not be underestimated.

"Who?!"

"The girl doll is not only good-looking, but also so pleasant to tell jokes! Su Shaoxia is so lucky!" The voice came from all directions, and it was impossible to tell where it came from.And with the sound of "Su Shaoxia", everyone's attention was easily shifted to Su Yulian, but the speaker hadn't appeared yet.

Murong Yan: "Your Excellency, why don't you come out to speak? Is it because you have an ugly face and are shameful?"

"Hey, hey, compared to the looks of you young couple, I'm really ugly—" A sharp voice came from one side, Murong Yan raised her hand and sent three darts, and there was only a sharp bird song not far away.

"Wow, you're scared to death, the little girl is so skilled! That bird died a terrible death!" This time the voice came from the other side, Murong Yan didn't make any more moves, but the two purple-clothed women beside Fushan started to move, Their figures flashed before everyone's eyes like a gust of purple wind. The two surrounded a point from two directions. In a blink of an eye, they caught a dwarf and fell from the tree together.

The dwarf was thin, his back was bowed like a bow, his eye sockets and cheeks were sunken into the bones of his face, his nose was thin and long, and he smiled like a starving ghost seeing food.His hands were grabbed by two purple-clothed women, his head was almost pressed to the ground, and he was still begging for mercy with a playful smile: "Take it easy! Take it easy! Ah! The two heroines don't waste your energy on me—"

"Who are you, why are you following us in such a sneaky way?"

The dwarf said: "It's too sneaky, I just happened to go to the same place with you all, and it was really ridiculous to hear that girl talking just now, so I couldn't help but expose my whereabouts. Hehe——I'm Shangguannan, I send my greetings to everyone."

Fushan: "Do you know where we are going?"

Shangguan Nan said: "In this barren mountain, besides Ji Xin Valley, do you guys have other places to go?"

Fushan: "Then what are you doing in Jixin Valley?"

Shangguan Nan looked troubled, rolled his eyes and said, "This - I will do whatever you do."

"Oh, kill him." Fushan signaled the woman in purple to do it, and Shangguannan immediately realized that his answer was wrong, and hurriedly said, "I'm joking, I'm actually looking for someone! It's extremely urgent, extremely urgent!"

Fushan smiled softly and sweetly: "I'll give you a chance to say something, if you speak clearly, you will live, if you don't understand, you will die."

Shangguan Nan lifted his chin: "I can only tell you, come here!"

Luo Xian grabbed Fushan, shook his head to signal her not to move, Fushan calmly shook his head and said softly: "It's okay." Then he approached Shangguannan, lowered his head and put his ear close to his mouth, Shangguannan blew out a puff of unknown smoke, and the two purple-clothed women In a panic, Shangguan Nan broke free from the hands of the two like a loach.Fushan only felt dizzy for a while, and was supported by the woman in purple.Liu Guang and Liu Jian looked at each other, and rushed towards Shangguannan, but Shangguannan sprinted faster than a mouse. In a blink of an eye, he was in front of Su Yulian, and locked Su Yulian's neck with a slender silver thread.He smiled and said, "Don't move! I'm holding the throats of a group of you now!"

There is no need to guess about the importance of Su Yulian.Luo Xian was worried that he would fall ill in the cold night, so he sent several people to follow him. Liu Guang and Liu Jian were also standing beside Su Yulian, not too close to him, but they could always pay attention to his physical condition.

Su Yulian was not nervous, and said softly, "Is the princess alright?"

Fushan's face was pale, but he just waved his hands and said, "I'm fine."

"Your princess was poisoned by me. I have no grievances or enmities with you, and I have no intention of adding more hatred here. As long as you can guarantee my life along the way, I will give her the antidote when I get to the place." Shangguan Nan's He is too short, and the posture of holding Su Yulian is not only funny, but also exhausting.

Su Yulian leaned back cooperatively: "What you're doing doesn't look like you're asking for peace."

Shangguan Nan lowered his voice and said angrily, "It's not because of you that I became like this!" Actually, he had no intention of hurting Su Yulian. Su Yulian once helped him guide him into the valley, and warned him to be careful.If he could walk this way quietly, he could hardly be found, but hiding in the dark alone was boring, and he underestimated the strength of several people, so he fell into this dilemma.

"Greediness and arrogance are never other people's fault!" Su Yulian deliberately approached the silver thread in Shangguan Nan's hand, and in the gap of Shangguan Nan's surprise, he used his arm to break away from Shangguan Nan's hand holding the silver thread, and then turned around. The hidden knife took Shangguannan's life.Everything happened so quickly that no one had time to react. Su Yulian took out a pack of medicine from Shangguannan's hairband and handed it to the woman in purple.

Murong Yan was the first to speak out: "Why did you kill him!"

Su Yulian: "This is the antidote! If the poison in the princess's body is not detoxified sooner, it will hurt the internal organs and become a burden for everyone."

Murong Yan squinted her eyes, and whispered in Su Yulian's ear, "It's not as serious as you said. Although the princess's drug is special, it's not enough to—"

Su Yulian smiled in her ear and said: "You are so deceitful, it shouldn't be difficult to pretend you don't know. Don't show an inappropriate expression. I am talking to you so intimately. I should be talking about love. You have to pretend to be happy." That's right." Murong Yan pretended to be shy and looked around, no one paid attention to them, only Luo Xian glanced at her, then turned back.

Murong Yan held Su Yulian's arm with both hands, as if he was coquettish with him, and whispered in his ear: "That Shangguan Nan's martial arts is not weak, and you may not be able to beat him with these stupid big guys around you. Can you kill him easily?"

Murong Yan blinked her big eyes, looking pure and thorough, Su Yulian pulled out his arm, put it on her shoulder and said, "Your bright eyes are more annoying than your restless mouth."

"Young master, we have arrived. Let's go further. Ji Xingu is guarded by guards. There are so many of us, it may be difficult to hide. How should we go?"

Seeing that everyone was looking at her, Su Yulian didn't react for a while. "ah?"

Luo Xian was in a bad mood: "There will be a team of night guards every other section in front, isn't it a little early for us to expose our whereabouts?"

Su Yulian took a gentle look at Murong Yan, and said, "It's fine for the guards not to speak or report, and it doesn't matter if they are discovered. Didn't Liu Jian say that after entering, you have to go down two tunnels, and there are more dead people than living people in the tunnels?" It’s like being unattended.”

Fu Shandao: "With our combat power, it's not a problem to deal with several teams of guards. But confronting people now will consume everyone's energy and strength, and may also be injured. When we meet a real opponent, won't everyone suffer a lot?"

Su Yulian: "The princess has a better way, and I will never object."

Fushan: "Or find a small group of people to attract the attention of the guards, and then the rest of the people—"

"Is the princess willing to let her subordinates be targets? Even if they can escape unscathed, you probably won't want to."

Fushan bit her lip, she can't trust Luo Xian completely, if Luo Xian abandons her when her manpower is damaged, she may die here, and Luo Xian's trust in her is probably the same as her, Vulnerable and fragile.So the best choice is to win and win, and lose and lose.Fushan nodded: "Do as you say."

Murong Yan sighed in her heart, and then leaned into Su Yulian's ear and said, "You were trying to sow discord just now, weren't you? Aren't you in the same group?" The most stupid thing about her was to say these words out.The smartest thing is to only tell Su Yulian these words.Su Yulian stopped talking, and said calmly: "Let's go, Madam doesn't have to rush forward later, just protect yourself."

Liu Ying knew the positions of the guards of each team very well, so it didn't take them too much time to take down the first few teams.Until they got close to the tunnel, a group of white-clothed swordsmen appeared out of nowhere and made them suffer a bit. Liu Jian and others were injured, and the white-clothed swordsmen also entered the tunnel one step ahead of them.Luo Xian saw the purple-clothed woman going forward to chase her, so she stopped her and said, "They're not like Ji Xingu's people, so there's no need to chase them, we'll wait until we enter."

This is a dry well that can only be entered by one person. The swordsmen in white moved quickly and disappeared from the well mouth in an orderly manner in the blink of an eye.Luo Xian and the others entered the ground through the shaft at the entrance one after another. What they saw in front of them was one secret room after another. The stone wall was the wall, and the rolling curtain was the door. , the bedding and mats are complete, and there are rolling doors on each side of the room, which are similar with minor differences, and they are very similar at first glance.
