female catcher

Ningyan entered the capital last night, and went to several places where Qushui might be, but she couldn't see Qushui, so she turned back to Yingchun Courtyard. After trying to get in, Yingchun Courtyard will pick up guests at night. No matter how busy you are, you can only talk to her.She also took this opportunity to let Lin Lang take all the sisters to hide in Pudu Nunnery. With Yijing's protection, she would not suffer unreasonable troubles from officials.

Because of Ningyan's presence in the Yingchun Courtyard, Lu Sanniang did not let the guests stay overnight, and only had time to meet with Ningyan near the dawn of the day. They have met several times in these years, and Lv Sanniang liked Ningyan's cold and straightforward temperament.There is no need to exchange pleasantries, and the purpose of the meeting is explained as soon as the meeting is straight to the point.

Lu Sanniang heard Ning Yan's message, Daoming was fortunately not yet wearing gloves to take the antidote with the big inner poisonous needle, after all, if Wang Jin really targeted her, she might be alone, and the people in the yard and the gold master who backed her would suffer And, that's not wise.After understanding the current situation of Feng Piaoxu, Lu Sanniang also explained the current situation in the court. After Wang Rui's death, Wang Jin had almost monopolized the power in the court and was irresistible. Style, reuse Nangong Biluo.

It seems that he wants to take the road of Huairou, but in fact he just keeps a low profile on the open face and secretly expands his power, just because he doesn't want the emperor to warn him. After all, if he is powerful and does not hold military power, a minister can only be a minister.Originally, the court was silent, no one dared to confront Wang Jinming, and Nangong Biluo's methods were not strong, and she was scolded by a head catcher who was not a regular official.

However, since the surprise attack on Jinling, the Chinese officials in the DPRK suddenly began to form cliques, intentionally or unintentionally, they began to criticize the eunuchs' party members. There were still rumors, and Xu Huang would be dragged off the horse and imprisoned, but it was just a lyrical poem that was upright, and Wang Jin regarded it as the remarks of those civil officials alluding to him.

As soon as the news of Xu Huang's death came out, the previous criticisms stopped abruptly, which shows Wang Jin's influence. Nangong Biluo is used to infamy, and no matter how much the words slander her, Wang Jin is confident that he is under ten thousand by himself. The position of the chief eunuch above the people.But after this, the court still formed a force against the eunuch party and political faction. The emperor could not ignore it, and Wang Jin could only increase his strength.

In terms of political performance, governing the country and governing the world, the scholar-bureaucrats who only rely on their mouths can't compare with Wang Jin who can truly share the emperor's worries and rule.

Wang Jin is well aware of this truth, and now he is using a Jinling warning to accelerate his ambitious ambitions.

"Now the sacred will is unpredictable, which is the reason why everything is hidden. The emperor's attitude is unclear, Wang Jin is domineering, and the officials swallow their anger. I think Wang Jin is going to be so arrogant that he will die of old age. A good bird chooses a tree to live in, and he That big tree even makes me want to cling to it sometimes." Lu Sanniang still cocked her legs, talked about the government, and lived her own life, but she was well-informed and made some preparations in advance.

"A tree that is eaten by termites, what's there to cling to? I think the emperor's attitude is not unclear, but he dare not act blatantly. He has relied on eunuchs for so long, and he hastily suppressed them without being bitten by them? Besides, the border defense is tight. Guarding the borders and protecting the country, no matter how the court situation is turned upside down, it is he who is difficult to deal with. Judging from Wang Jin's actions, he may not necessarily have the last laugh. At this juncture, it is difficult to fight without bloodshed. The only way to get rid of him is to force He cut himself off."

"What kind of coercion?" Lu Sanniang was a little curious, but Ning Yan remained silent.

At this moment, a sudden noise was heard, and Ning Yan opened the window to look out, and saw people vaguely surrounded the Yingchun Courtyard outside, "Oops! My whereabouts have been exposed."

"Then you go!"

"Let's go? You'll be in danger if you go." After thinking about it, Ning Yan grabbed Lu Sanniang and put the sword on her neck.

At this time, Cui'er came to report that Nangong Biluo had led people to surround the Yingchun Courtyard. When she entered the door and saw this scene, she couldn't help screaming without knowing it.

"Go in!" Nangong Biluo screamed, kicked open the gate of the Yingchun Courtyard, led people to drive in, and met Ningyan who kidnapped Lu Sanniang out in the atrium.

"The head arrester Nangong came really fast."

"Nangong save me!" Lu Sanniang acted well, trembling in panic, "She wanted to find out about Mrs. Qian Hu's concubine, so she came to Yingchunyuan..."

"Shut up!" Ning Yan didn't let her finish, and brought the sword a little closer, Zi Weiren made a decisive decision, and blood was seen with a light touch.

"Sister Nangong..." Lu Sanniang's face turned pale, and she stopped talking casually.

Nangong Biluo narrowed her eyes, this old bustard was indeed a man of the wind, she was eccentric before, but now she called 'Nangong' 'sister' affectionately.Her disdain was fleeting, but she still looked at Ningyan and shouted: "Ningyan, Zhiyuan has let you go, not only are you ungrateful, but you dare to come to the capital to act wildly? Let Boss Lu go, and he will be arrested."

"Arrested without a fight?" Ning Yan sneered, her gaze swept across the yamen servants and made them feel cold.

"So you're going to fight to the end?" Nangong Biluo met Ningyan's gaze, and her indifferent and bright face made her face a little more sinister, "Boss Lu, in order to arrest the dangerous court criminals, I have wronged you, do it!"

"Nangong Biluo, you!" Lu Sanniang never thought that Nangong Biluo would disregard the safety of the hostages, and a group of arresters rushed forward. Fortunately, Fan Er and the others had a bit of conscience. Ning Yan was also acting, and the arresters forced her to let go. Eryi took Lu Sanniang and took him aside.

"Boss Lu, hurry to a safe place." The little catcher was much more reliable than before, and after putting down Lu Sanniang, he swung his saber at Ningyan.

His martial arts was taught by Nangong Biluo himself, so he is naturally much better than ordinary arresters. When Ningyan saw him coming to kill him, he took this opportunity to step on the back of his sword and was about to fly away. As soon as he got on the roof, his heart felt cold. , A few hidden arrows flew in, and archers were already ambushing around.

It wasn't enough for Ning Yan to slash a few arrows with her sword, and a policeman who was very good at lightness rushed towards her with a hanging knife and a net, so she had no choice but to fall back to the ground.

At this moment, a cold light came, and someone attacked from behind, Ning Yan turned around and slashed to block it, and immediately crossed the body of Ziwei's sword with two fingers, and straightened the soft iron to withstand the subsequent slash, she also greeted On Nangong Biluo's coquettishly dressed face.

"You can't run away. There is a way to heaven. If you don't go to hell, there is no way to cast yourself. Let me see who will dare to save you this time." Nangong Biluo and Ningyan got very close, and the pressure on their hands could not wait to break Ziweiwei The sword cut Ningyan to death.

Ningyan's fingertips are already oozing blood. She has seen Fengyuelou change a few times for a long time. If she is not mistaken, she saw the disobedient jealousy on Nangong Biluo's face, which is the naked disgust between women . "I'm well prepared, you're not going to be eyeing me as soon as I enter Beijing, are you so concerned about my existence, Nangong arrests the head?"

"Your existence is a disaster. If you don't die, I will not be safe!" Nangong Biluo let go of the hilt and circled the sword around Ningyan's soft sword, and held the hilt again, trying to scratch Ningyan.

Ningyan also swung the Ziwei sword away, and at the same time flew up a kick, hitting Nangong Biluo's shoulder, defusing it and opening the distance, but she didn't expect that Nangong Biluo, who had already flew out, would hit her with a silver needle. She never thought about Nangong Biluo Bi Luo knew how to use dirty tricks, and she was accidentally hit without guarding against hidden weapons.

Nangong Biluo fell heavily to the ground, but Ningyan also retreated, her face turned pale immediately, the blood in her arm was not smooth, and her lips immediately turned purple.

"Why are you standing still! She can't use her internal strength anymore, go up and kill her." Nangong Biluo was fine, and after giving orders, she stood up indifferently, and Ningyan kicked without exerting all her strength.

At this time, Fan Er didn't move, but the other arresters hesitated for a moment and swung their knives forward, and the archer lying in ambush on the roof also drew his string and drew his bow...

Ning Yan clutched her shoulders and retreated a few steps. Just when she felt that she couldn't avoid it, a figure rushed over, wrapped her arms around her waist, spun her around, scattered the arrows with sword energy, and threw her backwards. Blocking, the sword also came out, and at the same time, with the power of both palms, the rushing arresters were scattered to the ground like an overwhelming mountain, and they stood with their backs to her.

Nangong Biluo was also so surprised that he lifted the Ningshuang sword to stick to the flying dagger, and after a few circles on the Ningshuang sword to release the force, he took the dagger and inserted it beside him. She wasn't surprised by the person behind Yanhu, but was surprised by the serious expression on his face.

"Curved water."

Nangong Biluo called her name, saying she was angry, more like disappointed. "Are you really going to protect this witch?"

"Miss, Qin Yanran is not a witch. Give me the antidote." Qu Shui's voice lost its previous vigor and was unusually calm.After observing for a long time, Nangong Biluo's behavior made her feel cold. When Ning Yan kicked Zhongnangong Biluo, it was the first time she didn't rush out to protect her young lady.

"Joke! Have you helped outsiders again and again?"

"I'm not helping outsiders. I can't be unreasonable. Can Miss even ignore Boss Lu?"

"We are fast catchers, official servants, not knights. Our job is to arrest people under orders. What kind of morals are we talking about? Shui'er, I have given you face time and again, but you want to fight me with swords?"

"Miss, Shui'er doesn't have the guts, and I don't have that much face. If I say that my behavior will be like this, it is only because of the influence of the lady. I always say that you have amnesia and amnesia. A person forgets the past, and even the instinctive behavior of kindness is beyond recognition." Can it be changed? Miss, you have changed, you have really changed. I could say that you were bearing the burden of humiliation when you arrested Mr. Xu and even closed down the shop. Now you ask yourself, is it necessary or selfish to target Weigui? When you came home early, you showed distress and seemed to have stayed up all night, but in fact, you just pinpointed the time. If Shui'er has eyes, he also wants to believe you. But—"

Qu Shui twitched the corner of his mouth, "But when I obediently cleaned the room for you, the temperature of the disturbed bed hadn't dissipated, and talking about your good sleep, who is it for me to sit all night? Miss, to the water Son, do you still need to act? The carefulness you taught me, I never thought I would need to use it on you one day. These days you have been in front of me, behind my back, what is it that makes you wary of me, but Ingratiate yourself with Wang Jin so much? What made you long for Qin Yanran's death so much?"

"Well, it turns out that Nangong Biluo's girl is so perceptive. Do I not trust you or do you not trust me? Kindness is not an instinct, but a choice. There are times when people are powerless. Shui'er, I am selfish, not heartless. I don't want to hurt you, and I don't want to be choked by Wang Jin again just for a chance to survive. You are all focused on people who are hostile to us. How can I discuss everything with you? I keep it from you, and you stop me again and again If I tell you what the consequences will be, have you ever thought about it? Do morality mean disregarding your own generosity? Others’ fate is your own? If you want to be moral, you shouldn’t follow me. Anyway, it’s up to you In my heart, I am no longer your young lady, the relationship between you and me may have been broken long ago, it was broken in Jinling, when I died in the past. If you help her again, you and I will have nothing to do with each other from now on."

Nangong Biluo's self-deprecating smile made Qu Shui's face pale, and even his voice trembled. "Miss, Shui'er swore that I will be your servant girl in life and your ghost in death. I have never been amazed or ambitious in my life. I just want to follow Miss and look after Miss because of your belief. Shui'er admires him from the bottom of his heart for his persistence, and he won't go wrong if he follows you. Shui'er can risk his life for you, so there's nothing to do with it? Are you going to drive me away?"

"I'm not trying to drive you away, it's because your heart is no longer toward me. Isn't it?" Nangong Biluo also had an expression of wanting to cry, and locked the pain in her eyes. "Let me ask you, do you choose to listen to me or choose her?"

Qu Shui followed Nangong Biluo's sword point, and looked back at Ningyan.

Ning Yan's complexion is very bad, after being poisoned, there is no beauty left, only her strong and tenacious expression is still there, she is cold, she doesn't say a word, and she shakes her head calmly.

Don't make it difficult for her.

Qu Shui suddenly smiled. After taking a deep breath, she faced Nangong Biluo and said, "Shui'er is Miss's girl, and she follows you and listens to you, but she has her own choice."

"Officials must be virtuous, and chivalrous men must be righteous. You follow the official way and the chivalrous way, and Shui'er will follow you to kill corrupt officials with swords. Martial arts protect those who should be protected. Qin Yanran, I want to protect what should be protected."

Nangong Biluo was shocked by that firm look, "No regrets?"

"No regrets."

"Even if your life is lost, even if you become a prisoner, even if from now on, you and I..." Nangong Biluo just rolled down a tear, "Between eyes?"

"Life is one, death deserves it, why be afraid? Become a prisoner, do whatever you want." Qu Shui suppressed his discomfort, "As for you and me, we will never turn against each other. The Nangong Biluo in Qu Shui's heart will not change, she just Asleep, not awake."

"Not awake? Heh, I'm afraid she died in that icy water." Nangong Biluo wiped her face with her hand, exhaled foul breath, "Huh—you can go."

"what?"

"I tell you to go away! Between you and me, it will be like this sword from now on." Nangong Biluo raised Qushui's saber next to him high, raised his arm high and waved, one sword broke two blades.

The sound of the broken sword falling to the ground was clear and crisp.

Qu Shui's body also trembled, and they looked at each other for a long time. Qu Shui looked at the silent and equally sad yamen servants, pretending to be chic and said with a smile: "Miss, Shui'er is not by your side, take care of yourself. Brothers, my family Miss, please, mountains are high and rivers are long, we will meet later."

Qu Shui turned around, but Ning Yan couldn't bear to murmur: "Girl, you don't have to..."

But Qu Shui walked up to her, and held her hand as usual, "Let's go, Qin Yanran."

That hand was moist and warm, and the tightness of the grip made Ningyan stop talking, and following Qushui's pace, she calmly left the encirclement among the separated yamen servants.

"Wait." Nangong Biluo stopped them again, she took out a porcelain bottle and threw it to her when Qu Shui turned around, "This is the antidote, Shui'er, you can take care of yourself and take care."

Qu Shui squeezed the porcelain bottle tightly, resisted not talking, and left without looking back.

When they disappeared from sight, Fan Er walked to Nangong Biluo, and carefully asked, "Sister Luo, are you really letting Qushui and Weigui go?"

"Otherwise, since you can really deal with Shui'er, can you do it again? Well, since she made her own choice, let her go. We let her go, not necessarily others will, you withdraw Bar."

"Yes."

Fan Er and the others listened to the order to close the team, Nangong Biluo stared at the Broken Sword on the ground for a long time, then looked back at the place where Lu Sanniang disappeared, then picked up the Broken Sword and left the Yingchun Courtyard.

Once out of Yingchun Courtyard, she didn't go back to the yamen, but went into a side alley, and a group of hidden guards appeared.

"Aren't you going to act quickly? Since you can detect her as soon as she enters the capital, she won't recover even if she takes the antidote for a while. It's time to get rid of her."

"But Master Qin..."

"You were arranged by Zhiyuan in my hands, you should listen to me or him!"

"Of course you listen to me!" Before the dark guard could answer, Qin Zhiyuan's sudden arrival caused Nangong Biluo's expression to change.

"Have you been here all the time? Sure enough, you still care about Ningyan."

"So what if you care? The dark guards were sent by me to protect you, not to be your rebellious killers. Nangong, you're going too far!"

"I'm going too far? Lord Qin, don't forget, it's you who said that King Yue put pressure on you to step up mobilization of Wang Jin, otherwise it will be broken up, and the country will be opened wide, or the people will be ruined, and you will be satisfied? These He also gave you the secret guard. Wei Gui is a thorn in the side of Wang Jin and King Yue, and I am helping you so that you don't get emotional."

"I don't need you to worry about it, do you know that when you drive Shui'er away, you push her into the fire pit, and she may be hunted and hunted outside at any time!"

"Are you really concerned about Shui'er, or are you worried about your cousin?" Nangong Biluo sneered, "She is just as dangerous by my side, and she may not be so restrained outside. Besides, she is not my accessory, Qu Shui is alone She can make her own choice. Qin Zhiyuan, I have no objection to you as a lover, but if you don't even have the basic judgment and the ambition you should have, I look down on you. Pursue or not, it's up to you!"

Nangong Biluo put the broken sword into his hand and left, but Qin Zhiyuan stopped her, "Nangong, do you know what you are doing?"

"Of course I know. I'm amnesia, not dementia. I won't be manipulated like an idiot, and I won't do things like the Nangong Biluo you mentioned. You should also die in Jinling as that Nangong Biluo. From now on There is only one Nangong Biluo, and that is me!" She left without turning her head after speaking.

"The dark guard obeys the order and hunts down Qu Shui and Qin Yanran!"

"Yes!"

Before going far, Nangong Biluo smiled when she heard Qin Zhiyuan's order and the voice of the hidden guard leaving.

Qin Zhiyuan looked into the distance, and murmured absentmindedly: "Nangong, are you really not coming back?"

The man in gray stood in a dark corner of the eaves, and put away the hidden weapon he had already taken out. He looked at Qin Zhiyuan, but he followed Nangong Biluo.

suburbs.

Qu Shui pulled Ning Yan all the way out of the capital from the side alley. Ning Yan looked at Qu Shui who had a wet face and didn't make a sound all the way.

She forgot to let go of her hand, and Ning Yan let her hold it.

"Shui'er, if you want to cry..."

Qu Shui paused, and Ning Yan swallowed half of the words, but Qu Shui just wiped her face with her sleeve, and let go with a hoarse voice, "Qin Yanran, take the antidote!"

Ning Yan raised her eyebrows, looked at the antidote that Qu Shui had poured into her palm, picked it up, and looked at it, "Could it be poisoned? After all, it is a poisonous needle from Da Nei, and the antidote also came from Wang Jin, right?" .”

After the Qushui was poured, he took it and threw it into his mouth, chewed and swallowed it, and poured another one out. "Let's eat, it's okay."

Ning Yan was stunned for a while, and then burst into anger, "Why are you crazy, what if it is poisonous?"

"Then we shall die together."

Ning Yan was speechless, looking at Qu Shui's face, she picked up the medicine and swallowed it, and also moved her eyes away.

"Qin Yanran, do you know where Sister Feng is? Take me to see her."

"it is good."

At the cabin, Feng Piaoxu and his group, who delivered the antidote to Yu Diancang and others, also with the help of Liu Shang, waited for Mu Yunping to wake up.
