startled autumn

The road ahead is deeper and darker than everyone imagined.

Under Ning Banque's instructions, Xiao Shaoling took the torches and lit the candle trays inlaid on the stone wall all the way, about ten steps away, facing the draft wind coming from nowhere, they swayed and couldn't be extinguished. Brighten up the wide corridor.

Han Bi was carefully guarded by Shen Zhiqiu, and walked slowly behind him. He couldn't help but think of the battle of the Fuluan Sect back then, as well as the Tianji Gate and the Yan Family Army, which had been hiding in secret for many years. Ability is the ability to quietly train soldiers under the hands of Emperor Nanjiang for many years without being noticed.Although Wei Tingzhou hated Yan Huai deeply, he also learned his hiding skills a lot. If Ning Banque hadn't led the way this time, who would have found the way to Yan Huai accurately in the continuous mountains and forests? The road to Shengu?

In the darkness, Ying Tianheng suddenly yelled, "What are you doing!"

Immediately afterwards, Han Banbu's sincere apology came: "Mr. Ying, I'm really sorry. I just carried Miss Ye on my back. Now my legs were weak and I went astray and bumped into you..."

Han Banbu is not tall, and the room is dim now, and no one can notice him. Ying Tianheng was going to get angry on the spot when he bumped him so hard on the back.

Who would have expected that Ye Tao, who happened to be walking beside him, got angry earlier than him: "Why are your legs so weak?!"

Han Banbu hurriedly swore to the sky, regardless of whether others could see clearly: "It's definitely not because Miss Ye is too heavy, but because I'm a little afraid of the dark and can't see the way."

Ye Tao knew that Han Bi's little servant was still young, with a harmless baby face, and he didn't dare to kill the enemy when facing the medicine formation, but only dared to circle around Han Bi. Just doing some work to take care of daily life, and now I have no choice but to accompany my master on adventures, and it is normal to be afraid in my heart. Poor Han Bi only noticed his best friend Shen Zhiqiu, how could he care about the mood of a small servant, so he snorted coldly: " Come here, and I'll lead you away."

Han Banbu: "This...isn't that good."

Han Bi said softly: "Miss Ye just wanted to thank you, so you can go."

Hearing this, Han Banbu happily ran over, saying something about Sister Ye Tao, very affectionate, and the two walked further and further away.

Now that he had missed the opportunity to get angry, Ying Tianheng could only shake his head in displeasure: "Mr. Han, why do you take such a little kid out, when the big battle is coming, I'm afraid it will cause you a lot of trouble."

"There is absolutely no mediocrity around me. I have always been smart and smart, but I have never been close to a woman. I think he... just deliberately wanted to attract Miss Ye's attention. I talked to her a few more words, but accidentally stepped on the wrong person." , so as to offend you." Han Bi self-consciously reviewed, "Besides, when it comes to troubles, I'm probably the biggest one."

Shen Zhiqiu immediately retorted: "You don't need to trouble."

Han Bi sighed quietly: "For others, I am indeed a trouble."

Shen Zhiqiu frowned, and said bluntly: "What does it have to do with others? I am the one who protects you, but I never think you are troublesome, Ah Xuan, don't say such things again."

Han Bi had no choice but to coax him: "I just said it casually, so don't be angry with me."

Shen Zhiqiu was quietly held by Han Bi's hand, and his heart sweetened inappropriately. He was afraid of being discovered, but he was reluctant to let go, so he didn't say a word, but just held his palm with his backhand, and gently held it in his hand. Draw a "good" word.

Han Bi smiled in a low voice: "Zhiqiu, are you trying to tell me to 'scroll'?"

"Of course not!" Shen Zhiqiu feared that he might misunderstand Han Bi because of his bad writing, so he took his hand and wrote it again, "I wrote the word 'good', which means that I am not angry anymore...you Why don’t you speak, did I really make a mistake?”

Han Bi was so annoyed by his cute reaction that he couldn't hold back, he laughed on the spot, the corners of his eyes and brows were soft.

At this time, Ying Tianheng coughed lightly.

Only then did Shen Zhiqiu realize that there was an outsider beside him, his cheeks flushed instantly, and he lost his voice.

Han Bi made an excuse without changing his face: "Mr. Ying, please forgive me. It's too dark around here. I forgot that you were still here."

Ying Tianheng was silent for a long time, he didn't know what he was thinking, and then he laughed softly for a while: "... Mr. Han and Mr. Shen really have a very good relationship."

Different from the cramped entrance outside, the structure in the cave can be regarded as a drastic opening, and there are not too many forked branches. Everyone just walked straight along the candlelight for a while, and then entered the more spacious rock hall.

On the top of the cave, several leaky skylights are naturally formed, the sunlight falls vertically down, as if light is chiseled from the wall, as bright as day, but there are no people underneath, only a dozen or so iron cages standing alone , Against the rock prison with iron bars densely erected on the side, it is clear that there is no trace of blood in the air, but there is a rudimentary form of hell on earth out of thin air.

Ning Banque saw everyone's confusion, so he just smiled and said, "Wei Tingzhou likes to be clean, and if someone makes blood all over the floor, he will get angry."

Shen Zhiqiu asked in a low voice, "What about you?"

Ning Banque: "I'm used to it."

Shen Zhiqiu remained silent.

Ning Banque blinked at him, looking very youthful, but when he spoke, it was against his face: "You and Zhao Mingchuan are both swordsmen, looking murderous, if you really want to let When you start killing people, you hesitate one by one, even worse than me, it's really ridiculous to say."

"Laugh." Shen Zhiqiu said, "Wei Tingzhou often laughed at me before, but now I know that I did nothing wrong."

Wei Tingzhou once had a good relationship with Shen Zhiqiu, and wanted to teach him what it means to be happy in the world. If he looks down on him, he will be beaten, and if he is not used to it, he will be killed. He is free and unrestrained. He couldn't decide, but he couldn't tell what was wrong with Wei Tingzhou. It wasn't until the battle of forced palace, with countless casualties before his eyes, that he realized that there was no such thing as momentary anger in this world, and there wasn't any deep hatred that could use other people's lives as a weapon. cost.

Of course Ning Banque didn't smile, but looked at Shen Zhiqiu's calm profile, and suddenly said, "I really want to go back to Yancheng."

The sound was as light as a white feather, and could not be heard when the wind blew.

"someone is coming!"

Before Shen Zhiqiu had time to ask more questions, his attention was drawn away by the shouting. He looked up, and at some point a young man in white came out of the darkness slowly. He was wearing a mask, but his figure was thin and straight. Holding a long sword covered in frost.

It is cold and delusional.

Han Lujian is well-known in Jianghu. Back then, Wei Tingzhou was a hermit from the outside world. He was able to amaze the capital of the imperial capital when he first entered the world. famous sword.

"...Wei Tingzhou?" Ye Tao said hesitantly, because just by looking at her figure, she was indeed very similar.

As soon as she finished speaking, a breeze with moist water vapor blew through the cave, making the white clothes flutter, and the Hanxu Sword naturally stood still, and on its right side, the sleeves were blown slightly Raised without encountering any obstacles.

It's like... emptiness.

Ning Banque said in a deep voice: "It's him...Shen Zhiqiu! What are you doing with your sword! That's Zhao Mingchuan!"

Shen Zhiqiu was just standing where he was, but after a slight start, he rushed forward with his sword against Ning Banque's scolding.

The shadow stepping sword came out of its sheath, and the light of the sword was like a shooting star chasing the moon, and it was passed directly towards the man in white. Although the speed was fast, it was hard to hide the sword's excessive momentum, and the trajectory was obvious at a glance. Anyone with a discerning eye can see that he is not planning to kill him, but is planning to make a test.

The man in white moved his ears, and subconsciously drew out his sword to resist, but his wrist was weak, and Han Lu in his hand was only entangled with the Shadow Stepping Sword for a few times, before Shen Zhiqiu simply picked it away. Flying all the way to the rock wall, there was a crisp sound.

He lost his left hand, and his right hand was equally vulnerable.

Shen Zhiqiu stretched out his hand and lifted his mask.

It was Zhao Mingchuan who hadn't seen him for many years.

Ning Banque had misunderstood that Mo Yi didn't care about Zhao Mingchuan's life, so he couldn't think too much for a while, but said angrily: "Can you, Mo Yi, listen to someone else once? You draw your swords at each other every now and then, do you really want to?" I can't kill him..." Suddenly he couldn't continue, because he saw the expressions on the faces of everyone in Mo Yi were extremely gloomy, as if there was an unspeakable sadness hidden.
