General

"When can I change my sneaky habit!"

A familiar voice came from behind, with usual indifference.Ling Feng heaved a sigh of relief, while quietly taking back the hidden weapon, he raised his hand and pinched the blade in front of his neck to distance himself a little bit, then turned his head and smiled and said: "Commander Chu is really good at it, I was hidden so carefully that I was caught You found it!"

"You are good at flattering." Chu Xiao gave him a cold gouging look, retracted the dagger in her hand, looked at the mahogany carved window with flickering candles, and said in a low voice, "Come with me."

"Yes~" Ling Feng raised his lips, rubbed his already numb calf, got up and followed Chu Xiao one by one and left Longxiao Hall.The other guards turned around and retreated in a tactful manner, and continued to inspect other places.

Chu Xiao took Ling Feng to an empty space with no one there, stopped in her tracks suddenly, tilted her head slightly and asked, "What are you doing in the palace today?"

"Looking for you." Ling Feng smiled, but the playful tone was hard to convince.

"What's the matter?" Chu Xiao frowned, and a bit of displeasure appeared on her stern face.He half turned around, the cold moonlight was reflected in his black pupils, bright and moving.

"I'm here for the appointment." Ling Feng took two steps forward, stood side by side with him in the dark night, raised his eyes and said, "Do you still remember our agreement?"

He paused, and before Chu Xiao opened his mouth, he laughed at himself in a low voice: "If the Jiangnan case can be resolved smoothly, we will find a place to have a good fight."

But for some reason, that tone contained a trace of sadness that was extremely disproportionate in peacetime.

Chu Xiao was silent for a moment, but there was a faint sourness in her heart.The national crisis is at stake, and a big war is imminent. Even if there is Li Xuan, who is as brave as a god, but there is a shortage of soldiers and food, it will be difficult for the treasury to allocate enough money to support this war...

Under such conditions, in the face of Xuan Ming's hundred thousand cavalry, what chance does Long Xiao have of winning?

"Come with me." Chu Xiao's eyes darkened, she turned around and continued to walk forward, the black gold armor on her slender body reflected a little bit of moonlight, and every step looked so majestic.

……

The martial arts field of the Forbidden Army camp was already empty. Outside the spacious open space, wooden stakes were planted, grass figurines were tied, and rows of swords, guns, swords and halberds were placed for practice.The moonlight was bright tonight, and it quietly sprinkled the ground with a clear light. The two of them stood facing each other like this, and they could see even the slightest expression on their faces.

"Let's start." Chu Xiao's long sword was unsheathed, and a bit of bitter sword energy gently circled around the edge of the sharp blade with the blooming internal force.

Perhaps... is the last battle of this life.

It's the last one too...

The sadder he felt, the more stern his expression became, as if flakes of ice could fall from the face of the ice cube that hadn't shown emotion for thousands of years.

"Okay~" Ling Feng pursed his lips, held his sword and jumped straight at Chu Xiao. Seeing his strong figure and the force of his sword, it seemed that he had no intention of softening his hands at all.

Chu Xiao swung her sword to block it, but with a loud sound of metal collision, her whole body was shaken back a long way before she could barely stop the trend.

"Be serious, since it's a brisk fight, wouldn't it be boring to be limp like a woman?" Ling Feng held his long sword and raised his chin provocatively at him.

"Huh." This provocative method really worked, Chu Xiao immediately frowned, snorted coldly, and stabbed back with a sword flower casually, "There is a price to be paid for speaking wild words!"

At this moment, Chu Xiao's internal strength suddenly rose, and her moves became much more ruthless in an instant. Ling Feng laughed secretly at how funny he was, and at the same time raised his sword a little more seriously to greet him.Chu Xiao was very skilled, but Ling Feng kept his secrets hidden. They fought back and forth for more than half an hour. Even though the night wind was biting, both of them were soaked through their clothes.

It seemed to be getting late, Ling Feng looked at Chu Xiao who was already out of breath, and pursed the corners of his lips with a smile.Immediately afterwards, he intentionally lost his balance, staggered and fell to the ground, and the man's sharp blade unceremoniously touched his chest.

"You won." Ling Feng lay on the ground, looked up at the man standing in front of him, and said with a playful smile.

"You did it on purpose!?" Chu Xiao withdrew the sword in displeasure, and lowered her hand to pull him up, but was suddenly pulled back into her arms by Ling Feng, and she was stunned.

"You!!" Chu Xiao was anxious, raised her hand and punched Ling Feng in the face.

Ling Feng's eyes were sharp and his hands were quick. He grabbed his wrist with precautions, and together with his left arm, he wrapped his two arms behind his back tightly, unable to move at all.

"Don't move, just for a while." Ling Feng pressed his hands hard, but his tone was soft and sad, as if he was asking, but the other party had no right to refuse, "In two days, I will follow Li Xuan The master went north to fight Xuanming, I don't know if there is a chance after today..."

Sure enough, Chu Xiao's body stiffened, but she gradually stopped struggling.The anger faded away quietly, and the gaze slowly fell on his pretendingly sad face.

"If this time, I can come back alive..." Ling Feng smiled slightly, raised his head, put his lips on Chu Xiao's ear and whispered, "Today's account is up to you."

Alive... come back...

Chu Xiao smiled sadly, such a battle of narrow escapes is in front of her eyes, who would dare to expect "alive"...
