Frost shines on Qingcheng

"Stop!" Shen Shuangzhao chased the sword thief all the way from the bamboo house to the woods, "Give me back the sword!"

The man was dressed in black, ran all the way with a sword in his hand, then stood still suddenly, with only a pair of eyes exposed, he turned his head and smiled coldly at Shen Shuangzhao.After that, without saying anything, he rushed into the depths of the woods.

Shen Shuangzhao couldn't figure out the other party's intention, this sword had a special meaning to her and Shen Wanrong, but to others it was just an ordinary sword.Who was that man, why did he know he was here, and why did he want that sword?

The barren mountains and wild mountains are full of darkness, and Shen Shuang knows that if she pursues her, she may face unknown dangers, but at the moment, she has no choice.

Shen Shuangzhao became more cautious as she went deeper into the woods.I clearly saw people running this way, why can't I find any traces now? "Come out!" Shen Shuangzhao looked around vigilantly, "Don't play tricks on me."

"..." There was no sound, the man seemed to disappear out of thin air.

Shen Shuangzhao didn't dare to act rashly, and waited on the spot with concern for a long time.When she was sure that the man had really left and wanted to go back in frustration, she found that the night was already dark.In the woods again, I couldn't find my way back for a while.Helpless, Shen Shuangzhao found a place to sit down, leaning against the tree trunk and prepared to go back after dawn.

The next day—

The sun was rising, and the dazzling sunlight fell on Shen Shuangzhao's face, and she slowly woke up from her dream.Rubbing his eyes, he took a while to fully wake up.She looked around and realized that she was really lost.But you can't sit here all the time, you have to try to explore the way.

It was really unfair to come out this time, not only did not recover the sword, but locked myself in the "maze".Take it, take it all, she doesn't care that she has nothing.

Shen Shuangzhao was looking for a way in the woods against the sun, but the more she walked, the more she lost her way, and the more she walked, the more unfamiliar she became.Her forehead was dripping with sweat, and her feet kept walking. There were fewer and fewer trees on the road, and more and more barren stones and sand. The damp atmosphere in the forest just now gradually became dry.

The changes in the roadside landscape silently reminded Shen Shuangzhao that she should not go on, but she seemed to be possessed, and stubbornly walked forward aimlessly.

In front of my eyes are completely barren rocks, mixed with desert yellow sand.Shen Shuangzhao stepped on the hot sand, and finally had to admit that she was in the sand sea.Suddenly, she fell to her knees on the sand, not knowing where to go.

She couldn't get out of the sea of ​​sand a few years ago, and now, she still can't get out of here.Since then, I have put my heart on Lu Qingrong, and I can no longer get out of everything related to her.

She still remembered that on such a scorching sun day, she was lying in a piece of yellow sand with Zhao Yueyao slashing her face with a knife, and was "picked up" by Lu Qingrong passing by.But now, that person is no longer in Shahai, and even if she lays her dead body here, no one will pay any attention to her anymore.

Just as she lost her mind, there was a chaotic sound of horseshoes in the distance.Shen Shuangzhao stood up, looked back, and recognized those people at a glance.

The group of people came galloping on horseback, but pulled the reins abruptly in front of Shen Shuangzhao and stopped.

Shen Shuangzhao stood under the horse, looking at the rider with her chin raised.

"It's you." The leading man looked at Shen Shuangzhao and suddenly realized.

Shen Shuangzhao didn't show any expression, and said calmly: "It's really rare that you still remember me."

The man had a beard and still had a round waist and thick shoulders. He smiled and said, "Hey, are you still alive? I thought you fell to pieces with that carriage a few years ago." The men behind him heard Yan laughed.

This is the gang of horse bandits that Shen Shuangzhao and Lu Qingrong met on the way to Plague Village.Shen Shuang had forgotten everyone else's photos, except the leader of the horse bandit who fought with Lu Qingrong that day.

"I said this girl, what is your background? I didn't know before, but later I found out who that person was that day, and what is your relationship with her?"

"She and I..." Shen Shuangzhao smiled, and quickly put away her smile, "It's nothing to do with it. Why, are you going to kill me or rob me of my money?"

Before the leader of the horse bandit had time to answer, he heard the men behind him yelling: "Brother, we are catching up." The leader of the horse bandit looked back, his face darkened, and he waved his hand: "Let's go."

Shen Shuangzhao also looked back, a group of people who couldn't tell where they came from rode their horses with swords in their hands.Before the horse bandits had time to run away, they fought with the people who came.

The people who came thought that Shen Shuangzhao was with the horse bandit, so they fought her indiscriminately.Shen Shuangzhao didn't want to make a big commotion in the sand sea, but when it came to this matter, she had to protect herself.All of a sudden, the sand was flying, and the dead were dead, and the injured were wounded.

Seeing that his men were gradually losing the wind, the leader of the horse bandit had to give an order to retreat.They have horses, and they have been active in this area all year round, so they are familiar with the route and terrain and naturally run fast.

Poor Shen Shuangzhao was alone, even the weapons in her hands were taken away.Seeing that the horse bandits had all run away, and there were so many people here, she would not end well if she fought hard, so she made up her mind to run on two legs.

As the saying goes, poor bandits don't chase after them. Those people saw the horse bandits fleeing and didn't chase them any more. They were going to go back and wait for instructions.

A carriage was parked not far away, and the man outside the carriage reported the situation to the people inside.The person inside said leisurely: "It's okay for everyone to run away, at least one must be caught for interrogation."

The man bowed his waist and replied respectfully: "It's strange, there is also a woman among the horse bandits this time, and she seems to be alone."

"In that case, it's her."

The man said, "I'll send someone to chase him right away."

"No need." The person in the carriage lifted the curtain of the carriage, and then got out of the carriage, "Give me the things."

The man standing on the side seemed to understand what the man meant, and immediately handed over the arrow.

The person looked around and saw a figure in white clothes running forward. She squinted her eyes and pointed the arrow at the figure. The arrow was on the string, and she let go of the bow and shot it out quickly.

"Ah..." It's easy to dodge an open spear, but it's hard to defend against a hidden arrow. Shen Shuangzhao was caught off guard and shot in the right shoulder.She let out a cry of pain, and when she lowered her head, she saw that the arrow had penetrated from the back of her right shoulder to the front of her body, and the silver arrowhead was still stained with her own blood.She suddenly half-kneeled on the ground, thrusting her sword into the ground for support, and managed not to fall down.

Seeing Shen Shuangzhao being shot down, the arrow shooter seemed very satisfied with his arrow, and threw the bow back to the man: "The arrow is coated with drugs, she will definitely not be able to run away after being hit by my arrow. have a look."

Shen Shuangzhao, who was shot, began to break out in a cold sweat due to the pain, and his face was pale with pain.She struggled to use the sword to support herself to stand up, and wanted to run a little further to a safe place, but she couldn't exert any strength.She understood that the arrow must have been drugged, and she couldn't run away.

In the scorching sun, she felt chills all over her body, and finally couldn't resist the medicine, she collapsed to the ground.She couldn't feel the hot sand against her face.Just before he fell into a coma, he faintly saw a pair of embroidered shoes inlaid with gold edging appear in front of his eyes.

Perhaps, she is really going to die in the sand sea today.That's fine, her heart was given to Lu Qingrong, and her heart died because of Lu Qingrong. Now, she died in Lu Qingrong's hometown, and she died well.

Lu Qingrong, if I die, will you still remember me?

"Bring her back, I want to interrogate her, but don't let her die." The man looked at Shen Shuangzhao, and ordered the man.Her words made her cold voice even more indifferent and cruel.

-----------------------------------

A sudden coolness on his face awakened Shen Shuangzhao from his coma.After being woken up by the water, her lips turned white, and her face was still stained with sand and water. The original white clothes had already been stained by the dust and lost their original color. Her hands and feet were tied to the wooden frame by iron chains. Reduced to a prisoner.

She opened her eyes and looked around, and found that this place looked familiar, and then looked at the walking guards, and she was sure that this was Sha Hai's prison.

Shen Shuangzhao couldn't help laughing wryly at herself, how similar she was to a few years ago.It's just that things are different, she came back here, but Lu Qingrong was gone.In Bihai, she became someone else's wife, someone's mother.The person who interrogated her this time may not necessarily be Lu Yuanzheng.

"Is the person still alive?" Huan Hong asked the prisoner with a cold face.

The prison chief replied: "Since it is the young master who is interrogating, the person who is interrogating is naturally alive, so he is inside. I will take Miss Huanhong in."

Along the way, Huanhong kept complaining: "This group of horse bandits has been disturbing the people for almost 20 years. It should have been a pot to stop them from future troubles. It's a pity that they didn't catch them all this time. I said it a long time ago. When I went out, I should Bring more guards. It's a pity, I haven't followed this time, otherwise..."

"Yes, yes, Miss Huanhong is right." The jailer laughed along with him, with a flattering look, "Is Miss Huanhong coming to interrogate today?"

Huanhong said: "Of course not. The matter of the horse bandit is of great importance. I will interrogate and make a decision in which round." There are still a few steps to go, and she has no intention of saying more, but just asks, "I heard it is a female Yes, where are people?"

"This way—" the cell boss ordered someone to open the cell, and Huan Hong walked in: "Raise your head."

Shen Shuangzhao heard a voice that she hadn't heard for almost four years, and thought she had heard it wrong, but when she looked up, it turned out to be really Phantom Red.

Huanhong looked at that face, although the other person's face was stained, it did not prevent her from recognizing who the person in front of her was, she widened her eyes: "Shen... Chen Shuangzhao?"

Shen Shuangzhao was also surprised, but she calmed down quickly. She asked coldly, "Aren't you in Bihai City? Why did you go back to Sand Sea?"

"Hey, Miss Huanhong, do you still know this person?" The cell boss said with a smile.

Huan Hong was annoyed in her heart, pushed away the prisoner next to her, and said very violently: "Shut up!" Then she asked Shen Shuangzhao defensively and vigilantly, "Why are you here? Shen Shuangzhao, what are you going to do?" ?”

"Don't get me wrong, it's also an accident that I'm here." Shen Shuangzhao said indifferently, "I didn't intend to break into the sea of ​​sand, it's just..."

Before she finished the second half of her sentence, she heard a voice she thought she would never hear again in this life.

"Don't do anything to her without my order. Keep her, I have my own plans."

Although the tone of voice was colder than four years ago, Shen Shuang could tell it was her voice just by looking at it.Her heart almost jumped out of her chest, and she could only rely on gulping breaths to force herself to calm down.

Is it her?Is it her?Shen Shuangzhao expected it to be her, but was also afraid that it would be her.Because she was so eager, she suddenly suspected that she had heard it wrong.

Huan Hong looked at Shen Shuangzhao in horror, and then looked outside the door, as if something was wrong.In a hurry, she took out a handkerchief, crumpled it up and stuffed it in Shen Shuangzhao's mouth.

"Did she say anything?" Accompanied by the words outside the door, Shen Shuangzhao watched the man walk over from Huan Hong's side.

The upper half of the man's face was wearing a silver side flower mask, only showing the small half of the face below the nose.Even so, Shen Shuangzhao recognized her at a glance - Lu Qingrong.
