The flower is a tulip [Chu Liuxiang]

Hei Zhuzhu was not seriously angry, but seeing Hua Manlou's dazed expression, he walked up slowly and said with a low laugh, "You guys really came, I...I'm very happy."

Chu Liuxiang looked at her carefully and said, "Are you okay?"

Hei Zhuzhu's face seemed to be flushed, and he turned his eyes to look elsewhere, and said slowly: "It's okay, I'm fine. Thank you..."

Hua Manlou didn't see her shyness, but gave her a deep bow, and said, "Just now I acted recklessly and almost hurt the little prince, please..."

Heizhu immediately interrupted him and said, "Don't apologize. You are always so polite to me, I don't even know what to say."

As she said this, she bit her lip and glanced at Huamanlou lightly.

Seeing it, Chu Liuxiang couldn't help but secretly laughed, then patted Hua Manlou on the shoulder and said, "That's right, if it were me, I would also make a move."

Hei Zhuzhu also laughed and said, "I will also make a move...as long as I have his sharp ears."

Hua Manlou still shook his head and said, "If I heard your footsteps, of course I wouldn't make a move."

Hei Zhuzhu was startled, and said, "Didn't you hear my footsteps?"

Hua Manlou said: "In the beginning, no."

Black Pearl said: "Then how do you know I'm here?"

Hua Manlou frowned slightly, and said, "This is where I am strange. I originally felt a murderous aura..."

Chu Liuxiang was surprised and said, "Murderous?"

Black Pearl said: "That should not be me. It's too late for me to escape!"

Hua Manlou said, "It's not you."

Heizhu looked back in fear, and said, "Could it be...is there someone else here?"

She seemed to realize only at this time that she was far from escaping from that terrifying devil's lair.

Hua Manlou listened carefully to the movement around him, then shook his head and said, "No more."

Heizhu breathed a sigh of relief and said, "I have waited for a long time to find such an opportunity. I know that there will be no one else on this road."

Chu Liuxiang's gaze flickered, and he asked, "Did you escape by yourself? Didn't Shi Guanyin send someone to guard you?"

Black Pearl said: "Shi Guanyin has not been here for a long time."

Chu Liuxiang said: "Not here?"

Heizhu nodded, and said: "I heard them by chance. There have been two women looking at me in turn, one of them is cold and unreasonable, and she is ugly. Today I had a big fight with her, and she When he was angry, he took the opportunity to run out."

Chu Liuxiang couldn't help but frowned, thinking: "Do you know the way out?"

Heizhu glanced at him, and suddenly said: "You want me to go alone? Didn't you come to look for me?"

Chu Liuxiang noticed that this girl was still so sensitive in some aspects, but why would she turn a blind eye to other things right in front of her eyes?

Chu Liuxiang had no choice but to sigh: "We'll go out with you...Let's go out first and then we'll talk."

In his heart, strong uneasiness surged again. He felt that everything before him happened too quickly, even hastily, as if something was wrong.

What is wrong?

Hua Manlou walked behind Hei Zhuzhu, who was still walking cautiously but couldn't hide his excitement, and asked in a low voice, "What's wrong with you?"

Chu Liuxiang sighed heavily.A sigh almost overwhelmed his voice: "Do you feel familiar?"

Hua Manlou's expression also moved, and he repeated: "Familiar?"

Chu Liuxiang said: "I have vaguely felt this way since we entered the desert. If this is a story, it must have been written by someone I know."

Hua Manlou was silent for a long time before saying: "If you are right, I am afraid we will face the worst ending."

Before he finished his sentence, Heizhu turned his head and waved to them, and said with a smile: "Look, am I very capable? I remember that this is where I came in."

Chu Liuxiang suddenly said: "Do you remember?"

Black Pearl said: "Yes, this is where I walked when I was brought here."

Chu Liuxiang said: "You were brought here alone?"

Black Pearl blinked and said, "Yes."

Chu Liuxiang said: "What about Rongrong and the others?"

His voice trembled unconsciously.

Hei Zhuzhu looked at him and said word by word: "Su Rongrong, Li Hong Xiu, Song Tian'er?"

Chu Liuxiang said: "Yes! Where are they?"

A trace of sympathy and sadness suddenly appeared in Heizhu's eyes.Then she said, "I don't know. I've never seen them since I came here."

Chu Liuxiang said: "Then you..."

He didn't say any more.

Because at the entrance of the valley, a row of cavalry appeared, completely blocking their way.

Chu Liuxiang now knew where the cavalrymen who attacked the Qiuci camp and robbed Liu Yanfei and Shi Tuo were.

He suddenly grabbed the hand of Heizhu who was already stunned there, and hurriedly said: "Look for an opportunity, grab the horse, and rush out!"

Before Heizhu could answer, Chu Liuxiang's figure had already passed by like the wind.

He went straight to the row of heavily armored knights.

As if the two had discussed it beforehand, Hua Manlou jumped out almost at the same time as him.

Those people seemed to have been waiting for this moment for a long time, and with a whoosh, they surrounded the two of them in the center, and no one looked at Heizhu again.

Chu Liuxiang knew in her heart that the goal of these people, or Shi Guanyin's goal, was only herself and Hua Manlou from the beginning.

Shi Guanyin's "not in the valley", the sudden departure of the guards of the black pearl, and the unguarded people along the way are all for this moment, to intercept them at a place that is one step away from freedom.

But Chu Liuxiang didn't hesitate for a moment, and jumped up high.

His figure was so erratic that those experienced knights couldn't help but open their mouths and look up, as if they were watching a wonderful trick.

His person seemed to have turned into a bird, flying high in the sky.

Chu Liuxiang is not a bird, so he cannot fly.No matter how high he jumps, he will eventually fall.

Just when everyone thought he had reached the highest position, his figure flashed and disappeared.

The next moment, he appeared on the back of a horse, just behind the rider on that horse.

Before everyone understood what was going on, the knight yelled and fell off his horse.

There was only one sound of landing, but there were two people lying on the ground.

At some point, Hua Manlou got on another horse and galloped out of the circle with Chu Liuxiang.

The circle formed by the knights was suddenly opened by them.Seeing the two horses rushing towards him, Heizhu jumped and sat behind Chu Liuxiang.

The three of them rushed out of the valley like a gust of wind, and rushed towards the boundless desert.

Their silhouettes are like two small bubbles in the sea in a piece of yellow sand.

The knights behind had already chased up in two ways, like a pair of open arms, trying to pinch them between them.

Although Chu Liuxiang was still urging the horse with all his strength, the horse with two people on it gradually slowed down and fell behind Hua Manlou.

Hua Manlou retracted the reins slightly, just when he heard the sound of Chu Liuxiang's horse's hooves and walked side by side with him, suddenly there was a sharp whistling behind him!

The three of them turned over and jumped off their horses at the same time, rolling down in the sand.In the sand not far from them, there were several "pops" and "pops", followed by a "puff" explosion, setting off dust and smoke all over the sky.

Black Pearl exclaimed: "Muskets! They have muskets!"

Chu Liuxiang spat out a mouthful of sand, reached out and grabbed her shoulder, and threw it out forcefully.Heizhu was taken aback, but found that he was flying through the air, catching up with the two horses that were frightened by the gunfire and were running away desperately.She didn't think much about it, turned over in the air, and saw the horse's back fall down.The wind sent Chu Liuxiang's voice far away.

"Go straight to the east, find Liu Yanfei in Huashan, and go back with them."

Behind the black pearl galloping towards the east, Chu Liuxiang looked at Huamanlou who was slowly approaching beside her, gradually burst into a calm smile, and raised her hands towards the surrounding knights.

Those people seemed to be stunned for a while, only to realize that they had no intention of making a move, and they couldn't help but look at each other, as if they were trying to shirk the responsibility of accepting the surrender.Finally, the leading knight snorted and threw a coil of rope in front of Hua Manlou.

"You, tie him up first!"

Chu Liuxiang stared at the black muzzles of the guns all pointing at her, and still smiled lazily.

Hua Manlou bent down and picked up the rope, seemingly hesitant.

The knight shouted impatiently: "Quick!"

Following this word, a black lightning flashed before everyone's eyes.Then they seemed to be struck by this lightning, and they fell off the horse without knowing it.

Chu Liuxiang sighed, and murmured: "You guys handed over the weapons to him...I really don't know what to say."

Hua Manlou had retracted the rope, shook his head and said, "Don't be mean anymore, be careful of retribution."

Chu Liuxiang's eyes flickered, and said: "Retribution? It's strange when people like me don't get retribution!"

Hua Manlou said: "You still have to wait?"

Chu Liuxiang said: "I have to wait."

Hua Manlou said: "The little prince said that Shi Guanyin is not here."

Chu Liuxiang said loudly: "No matter who it is, I must wait for someone to tell me where Rongrong and the others went!"

At this moment, his face had completely lost the usual unrestrained and leisurely expression, and his eyes seemed to burst into flames.

Hua Manlou didn't speak any more, and didn't leave, just stood beside Chu Liuxiang, waiting together.

They didn't have to wait long.

In the vast desert sky, the sound of eagle chirping came from afar.Chu Liuxiang looked into the distance and was immediately startled.

On the edge of the sky they were facing, a dark cloud unexpectedly appeared, moving towards them quickly.But it didn't take long to see that it wasn't actually a cloud, but a large flock of vultures, flying in the same direction.

The eagle is the king of the sky, and it always lives alone. How can there be such a large group of eagles?

At the same time, a strange loud sound gradually rang through their ears.

It was like the sound of a hard object rubbing against each other, which made one's teeth itch at first hearing, but as the sound became louder, and even became a roar that filled the world, the annoying sound became terrifying, as if With a great sense of threat.

A boat rumbled in front of Chu Liuxiang and the others.

This is indeed a ship with a narrow body and a flat bottom, with a raised head and a pointed tail, and a sun and moon totem carved on the prow.There are two floors on the ship, with delicate bead curtains hanging on each floor.

Chu Liuxiang would never have dreamed of seeing such a ship in the desert.Although his own ship was much larger, it didn't look out of the ordinary compared to what he saw.

There was a sound of "beep", like a whip in the air, and the flock of eagles in the middle of the sky descended one after another as if they had received an order.As soon as the hawks fell, the boat stopped slowly.Only then did Chu Liuxiang see that each eagle's feet were tied with a rope, and the other end of the rope was tied to the bow of the boat.

The ship turned out to be pulled by the flock of eagles on the desert sea.

A chuckle came from the ship building.

Chu Liuxiang stared at the ship building without blinking, and saw a red figure walk out from where the bead curtain moved.

That slender figure, like a Lingbo fairy, even though wrapped in a floor-length skirt, still makes people feel endlessly enchanting.

She came to the bow gracefully and stood behind the eagles.When those giant eagles with sharp eyes saw her, they immediately became peaceful and bowed their heads under her red clothes.

Her posture is elegant and mature, without the youthful innocence of a young girl, but with a style and charm that a young girl does not have.

Then Chu Liuxiang saw her face.It was a face without blemishes, the skin was as smooth as white jade, shining faintly against the backdrop of the red clothes.Those black eyes were as dazzling as the stars in the sky.

Now those eyes were fixed on Chu Liuxiang.A voice as clear as spring water said: "Chu Liuxiang?"

Chu Liuxiang smiled and said, "Shi Guanyin?"

The woman in red said, "Not bad."

Chu Liuxiang said: "Master Guanyin is not stained with mortal dust, why is he wearing red clothes?"

The woman in red glanced at him, and said with a smile: "Since there is a bandit commander covered in dust, why can't there be Guanyin in red?"

Chu Liuxiang nodded slightly, and said, "That's right. I was the one who was abrupt."

Shi Guanyin said: "I have heard about Xiangshuai's name for a long time, and I just met today, which has already comforted my wish. Xiangshuai's words are straightforward, and he is just a man of temperament, so why talk about being abrupt?"

Chu Liuxiang's gaze flickered, and she said, "Madam Shi wants to see me?"

Shi Guanyin said: "Xiangshuai is romantic and sentimental, pity the fragrance and cherish the jade, the concubine is an ordinary woman, it is difficult to get rid of ordinary desires, so I naturally yearn for it."

But Chu Liuxiang shook his head and said: "Although Madam's words are sincere, they are done in one go, too fluent, and a little less shy, which inevitably lacks sincerity."

Shi Guanyin paused, then clapped his hands and smiled coquettishly: "Xiang Shuai is indeed the leader of Hua Cong, with such a good eye. Since Xiang Shuai blamed him, my concubine must invite Xiang Shuai to board the boat in order to make amends."

Chu Liuxiang said, "Get on the boat?"

Shi Guanyin said: "Does Xiangshuai not want to, or dare not?"

Chu Liuxiang touched his nose with his hand, and said, "It's just me and my wife on board, I'm afraid it's not right."

Shi Guanyin looked at him intently, and said slowly: "There is not only one concubine on board, but also three girls, who are also waiting hard. I only hope that Xiangshuai will take pity on him and look back."

Chu Liuxiang said, "Oh?"

Shi Guanyin covered her mouth with a smile and said: "Xiang Shuai is so indifferent, I'm afraid that if Miss Su knows, she will be very sad!"

Chu Liuxiang twitched her eyebrows, and blurted out: "Okay, I'll just bother Madam!"

But just as he took a step, suddenly half of his body became numb, and he couldn't move for a while.

Huamanlou quietly let go of Chu Liuxiang's veins, leaped onto the bow first, then bowed to Shi Guanyin, and said, "Huamanlou has seen Mrs. Shi."

Shi Guanyin was startled, then smiled and said: "So it's Mr. Playboy. Please forgive my concubine's poor hospitality." He bowed as he spoke.

Hua Manlou said, "Does Madam recognize me?"

Shi Guanyin said with a smile: "Huagongzi and Xiangshuai joined hands to uncover the big conspiracy in the martial arts, avoiding bloodshed in the world and chaos in the world. Even my concubine is far away in the Western Regions, and I have heard of it for a long time."

Hua Manlou said: "Since this is the case, Madam must also know that I, Xiangshuai and these three girls are like brothers. I haven't seen these three righteous sisters for many days, and I miss them very much. May Madam please allow us a while."

Shi Guanyin looked at him, suddenly smiled softly, and said: "Sister Yi... It seems that Young Master Hua is also a sentimental person, and my concubine will naturally lead the way for Young Master."

Hua Manlou walked a few steps, but turned around and said, "Xiang Shuai is Madam's honored guest, don't Madam want to accompany her?"

Shi Guanyin was a little teasing when he heard his words, and was about to speak, but saw that the smile on his face was quiet and faint, like the untainted spring water in the mountains, he was speechless for a while.

Chu Liuxiang was already beside him so impatient, she wished she could jump on the boat together, when she saw Hua Manlou's expression, she couldn't help but her heart moved, and she clenched her fists secretly.

It was because none of them could be sure whether it was Su Rongrong and the others in the boat building, or the arranged ambush.Hua Manlou turned his head, clearly saying to him: "I'll check the situation in the boat first, you can stay and deal with Shi Guanyin."

Shi Guanyin is their greatest enemy.

Chu Liuxiang didn't move.

Shi Guanyin didn't move either, just stood there watching Huamanlou lift the beaded curtain and walked in.She naturally knew what was waiting for Huamanlou, and her expression seemed to be confident.

Chu Liuxiang clenched her fists tightly, forced herself to calm down, and then said with a smile: "This time, it's really just me and my wife alone."

Shi Guanyin glared at him immediately, and said angrily, "Oh, why is Xiangshuai so disrespectful!"

Chu Liuxiang smiled and said: "Madam said that she looks forward to seeing me day and night, is it because of my respect?"

Before he could finish these words, his men had arrived on the boat and stood four feet in front of Shi Guanyin.

Shi Guanyin also smiled and said: "I knew that Xiang Shuai was romantic, but I didn't expect you to be so anxious! Could it be... Do you want to come in with me?"

While she was speaking, she turned around and moved back three feet.The elegance and swiftness of her movement seems to be comparable to that of Chu Liuxiang.

Chu Liuxiang looked at her and shook his head, "What's the point of going in? I think it's not bad here." Following the word "not bad", he raised his right palm and struck out!

Shi Guanyin seemed to be waiting for this slap, swayed her waist lightly, then slid to the side, still said with a smile: "In broad daylight, you are not too ugly!" Then he returned a slap.

The two flirted with each other in their mouths, but they had already gone through several tricks.Chu Liuxiang saw that Shi Guanyin's palms were really exquisite and his body was light and agile, so he didn't dare to neglect in his heart and responded with concentration.But that kind of inexplicable uneasiness rose from the bottom of his heart at some unknown time, lingering in his mind for a long time, lingering.

After dozens of moves, Shi Guanyin's bright eyes revealed a trace of panic.Chu Liuxiang's heart moved, her two fingers missed her palm, and she rushed to her chest, shouting at the same time: "You are not Shi Guanyin!"

Shi Guanyin screamed "Ah", he had already hit the acupoint, stepped back, leaned against the side of the boat, and said coldly: "Who says I'm not Shi Guanyin?"

Chu Liuxiang approached slowly, stared at her and said, "Do you know that you have been poisoned?"

A panic flashed across the face of "Shi Guanyin", and he murmured: "How... how is it possible? You are not the one who should be poisoned?"

Chu Liuxiang didn't answer, just shook his head and smiled wryly.The red-clothed woman was stunned for a while, but her body trembled violently, and she slid limply to the ground, her jet-black eyes had turned completely ashes.

Chu Liuxiang looked down at her, and sighed: "You only know how to spray poisonous mist in the wind of your palm, but you won't be spared either."

As soon as he finished speaking, there was applause behind him.A voice echoed the applause: "Observe the subtleties, stay calm in times of crisis, you really deserve to be handsome Chu Xiang!"

Chu Liuxiang turned around stiffly, and saw a man of short stature standing beside the ship building.That's where Hua Manlou walked in.

The man seemed to see his questioning gaze, bowed slightly and said, "Wu Juxuan is here."

Chu Liuxiang smiled and said, "It turns out that he is the number one counselor under Shi Guanyin's seat."

Wu Juxuan seemed to have some sarcasm on his face, he shook his head and said, "No matter how hypocritical you are, you won't survive today."

Chu Liuxiang glanced at the woman in red lying on the ground again, sighed, stepped back and leaned on the side of the boat, and said, "I thought you were going to kill me yourself."

Wu Juxuan laughed and said: "Your Excellency and I have never met each other and have no personal grudges. Why are you so persistent?"

Chu Liuxiang closed her eyes, trying to see the other person's face clearly, and said with a smile, "Really?"

Wu Juxuan said: "Could it be that we have met before?"

Chu Liuxiang said: "You forgot, we still have a hand-to-hand agreement..."

The voice broke from it, and his body had fallen down.
