Placid Chang'an

There was heavy snow, and soon the courtyard was covered, and everything in the world was a vast expanse of white, especially the pool of red in the middle of the courtyard was particularly dazzling.

Shen Yugui curled up and gasped violently, her lungs hurt from the bitter cold, but she couldn't care less about it.Her left hand was tightly pressed against the wrist of her right hand, and blood dripped to the ground along the cracks between her fingers, while that right hand was hanging down in a state of weakness—a tendon in her hand was broken, and she could no longer hold a paintbrush.

The man dressed in black approached step by step, knelt down in front of Shen Yugui, and put his hands around his thin chin to force Shen Yugui to raise his head. His face was pale and bloodless, and his thin lips were soft. Shaking, but the look in his eyes was stubborn and unyielding.

"Don't you know how to paint? Look at the blood, does it look like your "Tao Tian Tu"?" The man in black smiled coldly, "Please tell me the whereabouts of "Hou Yi Fu Ri Tu", I will Give you a good time, otherwise the limbs will be broken, it will be very painful."

Shen Yugui muttered something softly, wrapped in the wind and snow, the man in black couldn't hear clearly, so he could only get closer, a cold light flashed in a daze, the man in black hurriedly backed away, and unexpectedly drew a line on his face .

Shen Yugui was holding a piece of broken porcelain in his hand. It was the man in black who knocked over the table when he dragged her down the stairs. She secretly hid half of a cup in her palm, and it was mixed in the blood on her hand without being noticed. .It's a pity that she can only use her left hand now, and her strength and aim are not good enough, otherwise she should have drawn a line on that man's neck.

Shen Yugui panted violently, smiled helplessly, slowly raised his head and stared at the man, biting every word: "Beast!"

The man in black touched the blood on his face, turned into anger, and kicked Shen Yugui fiercely. Still feeling puzzled, he stepped on the useless hand and twisted it vigorously.

Shen Yugui lay on his back, opened his mouth but couldn't make any sound, a few shattering pain|wheezing sounds in his ears, even covering up the whistling of the wind and snow.

The man in black didn't give her a chance to breathe, lifted her from the ground, and threatened viciously: "You think I dare not kill you? I killed all 32 members of your family, and I also set the fire. Do I still care about one more you?!"

Shen Yugui's broken eyes slowly gathered, staring at the person in front of him.

"The two trash you killed didn't dare to do anything, and they even tried to persuade me to stop. I want to thank you for solving the two trash for me that failed to accomplish anything."

The tip of the man in black slowly moved up, and finally landed on the pair of eyes staring at him, "These eyes are really nice, like your mother, tender as water, but I don't know if they will look like this if they are plucked out."

A few millimeters from the tip of the knife to the eye sockets, a snowflake with six petals fell from the sky and fell into those eyes. In a blink of an eye, the cold air from the tip of the knife was already touched.

A line of tears flowed down slowly, she couldn't take revenge after all, she went down faceless to meet her father and mother.

Suddenly something whistled in the bitter cold wind, like a bamboo whistle, and the next moment a sharp arrow pierced the wind and nailed hard into the shoulder of the man in black!

The man in black was led back two steps and let out a cry of pain, but his reaction was extremely quick, and he pulled Shen Yugui to the front to block him tightly.

A figure gradually appeared in the wind and snow, with a pair of frosty pupils gleaming, and he glanced at the man in black: "Liu Kang, we meet again."

The man in black was Liu Kang who fled as a servant, and shuddered abruptly when he saw the young man with icy muscles and snowy soul, "How did you find this place?!"

Su Cen raised his hand to signal the archer to pause, and stepped forward, "You found a homeless man with a similar stature to you, and brought him home, and you fainted and burned to death in the courtyard to confuse Dali Temple? It’s too simple to see Dali Temple.”

"Don't come here!" Liu Kang yelled angrily, pressing the dagger tightly against Shen Yugui's neck, "Come here again and I'll kill her!"

Before Su Cen could move, Shen Yugui suddenly smiled, "Please do me another favor, sir, kill this beast for me! Your kindness will be repaid in the next life as an ox or a horse!"

After speaking, he leaned on the dagger in front of him, Liu Kang didn't expect this little girl to be so fearless, the dagger hurriedly retreated, but it still left a bloodstain on the slender neck.

Su Cen breathed a sigh of relief calmly, and said angrily, "Shen Yugui, if you mess with me again, I'll turn around and leave. No one will clean up the mess of your Shen family!"

Shen Yugui immediately stopped moving, Su Cen continued to move forward, Liu Kang retreated step by step, and leaned against the door irresolutely, obviously panicking.

Su Cen smiled at the two of them, "It's so cold to stand like this in heavy snow, why don't we go in and chat slowly."

Back in the bamboo building, Liu Kang still carefully chose a corner with two walls facing each other, and then blocked Shen Yugui in front of him, and hastily cut off the tails of his arrows, leaving the clusters of arrows still in his arms.Su Cen found a chair and sat down on his own, looking at Shen Yugui's bleeding right hand, his eyes turned cold.

"Let me remind you," Su Cen turned his gaze to Liu Kang, "If she loses too much blood and dies, you don't even want to get out of this room alive."

Liu Kang looked at Shen Yugui's hand, the blood loss was really serious, half of his white shirt had been stained red, and he was indeed not as energetic as before.

Su Cen got up and wanted to go forward, but Liu Kang stopped him in time, Su Cen spread his hands helplessly, "Then you bandage her, at least stop the bleeding first."

Liu Kang struggled for a moment, then put a dagger against Shen Yugui's throat, and said to Su Cen, "Come here and bandage her."

Su Cen smiled lightly, cut off a few pieces of cloth, and stepped forward to bandage Shen Yugui's wound.

The veins in that hand were broken, and it was hanging in front of him to be manipulated. Su Cen sighed secretly, the hands that were so brilliant were now useless.

While bandaging, Su Cen said, "Tell me, why are you willing to let him go?"

"Prepare the carriage for me, I want to go," Liu Kang said viciously, "I still want the "Hou Yi Cruising the Sun" picture."

Just as Su Cen wanted to say that "The Picture of Houyi Cruising the Sun" was not in the hands of the Shen family at all, Shen Yugui smiled palely, "The "Picture of Houyi Crushing the Sun" was burned during the war, you can go to the underworld to get it!"

Su Cen paused, "The Picture of Houyi Cruising the Sun" was clearly in the Xingqing Palace, why did Shen Yugui say it had been burned?Not sure if Shen Yugui was trying to anger Liu Kang, Su Cen didn't ask any questions for the time being, and remained calmly silent.

"Impossible!" As expected, Liu Kang's eyes were about to burst, and he said viciously, "Shen Cun said by himself, the treasures of their Shen family are hidden in those three paintings, what else is it if it's not "Houyi Cruising the Sun"!"

Su Cen sighed, pointed at Shen Yugui and asked, "Do you know her name?"

Liu Kang was taken aback for a moment, he really didn't know what this little girl's name was, but just now he heard Su Cen seem to call out, hesitantly said: "Shen...what is it?"

"Shen Yugui is the 'Yugui' of 'the son of Yugui, who is suitable for his family'," Su Cen gave Liu Kang a sympathetic look, "Shen Cun's treasure refers to her, the daughter of the Shen family, Shen Yugui. You killed 32 members of the Shen family for one vague sentence, and you ended up like this in the end."

"33 mouths," Shen Yugui said with cold eyes, "and Danqing."

Su Cen bit her lower lip hard. If he had found out earlier, he would not have lost another life.

Liu Kang was obviously also hit. He didn't expect that he killed so many people, ruined his reputation, and lost his life. He was fooled from the very beginning!

"It's good that you can save your life now, so don't worry about any treasures anymore," Su Cen said calmly, "I can prepare a carriage for you to let you go, but you have to let her go, and I will go with you. "

Shen Yugui immediately said, "No way!"

"Don't interrupt the children when adults talk," Master Su, who is three years older than Shen Yugui, gave Shen Yugui a peek, and then said to Liu Kang: "You also know that I just broke the case of offering sacrifices to heaven, and the holy family is in full swing. If I see Now that you have taken her away, how do I explain when I go back? I will go with you and escort you out of Chang'an City. If you release me afterwards, I will say that I escaped secretly, and the court may even praise me for my bravery. "

Liu Kang swept over with a fierce light: "Aren't you afraid that I will kill you?"

Su Cen smiled softly, "What good is it to you to kill me, and then bear the charge of killing an imperial official? And I'm more practical than her, without me, you can't even get out of the gate of Chang'an City. "

Liu Kang pondered for a moment, and it seemed that his heart was really moved, and he said to Su Cen, "Don't play tricks!"

Su Cen rolled her eyes, "I'm a frail scholar, and I'm not much better than her. Why don't you search me to see if there's a murder weapon on me. I've studied hard for more than ten years, just to Fame and fortune, the reason why I let you into the room to talk is not because I am afraid of being heard by others."

Liu Kang: "Tie your hands yourself."

Su Cen held back his breath, and gave Liu Kang a hard look, "Okay, I'll tie you up."

Finding a piece of rope from Shen Yugui's room, Su Cen wrapped it around his hand a few times and tied it with his teeth, and showed it to Liu Kang: "Is that all right?"

Liu Kang's fierce light flashed, he pushed Shen Yugui away, and put the dagger across Su Cen's neck, "Let's go!"

Su Cen carefully guarded against the blade, and stepped forward. The archers who had just left the room immediately drew their bows and drew arrows. When they saw Su Cen, they couldn't help being stunned for a moment, and began to hesitate.

Liu Kang smiled coldly, this official is indeed more effective than that little girl, before he stopped smiling, he suddenly stumbled and his body couldn't help but lean forward.Su Cen had been prepared for a long time, and took advantage of Liu Kang's hand to support the ground, and immediately escaped from control.

I saw a rope buried in the flat snow at some point, because the snow was so thick that he didn't notice it for a while!

This was obviously planned early in the morning!Su Cen pretended to go in to negotiate with him, but his men set traps outside the door!

"You're plotting against me!" Liu Kang yelled angrily, and was about to step forward while waving the dagger, but the Xuanjian was faster than him, and came straight for the door!

Liu Kang knew the number of days and closed his eyes tightly. However, after waiting for a long time, the expected pain did not come.

Liu Kang opened his eyes carefully, only to find that everyone had the same expression as him.

There was a person lying in front of him, and blood spread from that person, soon staining the snow red.

Liu Kang was stunned for a long time before regaining consciousness, stepping forward, his voice suddenly became hoarse.

"Yu...Yu Niang..."

Liu Kang's wife, Liu Qinshi, jumped out from nowhere, and stood in front of Liu Kang when the arrow was fired!

Liu Kang took a few steps forward, his legs suddenly went limp, he knelt on the ground, climbed to Liu Qinshi's side step by step, and gently embraced him in his arms.

Yuniang followed him at the age of 16, wasting half her life, and he didn't give him a day of peace.

Blood gushed out of Liu Qinshi's mouth, she had been unable to say anything for a long time, but there was a light in those gray eyes.

Over the years, she has eaten vegetarian food and recited Buddha's name, but after all, she could not get rid of her husband's sins. Now, she has repaid this man's relationship with husband and wife, and she only hopes that she will never meet this man again in the next life.

People from Dali Temple stepped forward and surrounded him, arrested him and brought him to justice.

Su Cen untied the rope in his hand, went into the room and brought Shen Yugui out, ordered someone to take Shen Yugui to heal his injuries, and then restrained Danqing's body.

Before leaving, he suddenly remembered something, turned around to find Shen Yugui, and asked, "Is it true that you just said that "Houyi Volutile Sun Picture" was burned?"

The tears on Shen Yugui's face were still wet, and he hesitated for a moment before nodding his head, "It was burned. There were wars and strife in the last years of the previous dynasty. My great-grandfather watched it burnt in the flames of war."

There was a bang in Su Cen's head.

What is that pair in Xingqing Palace? !

"But there is another one in this world, which was painted by me," Shen Yugui said softly, "Back then, that person asked me to exchange a painting for white phosphorus, and what he wanted was "Houyi Cruising the Sun."

Su Cen suddenly felt that his body was very cold. He was not so flustered just now when he was put under Liu Kang's knife, but now he couldn't even say a word, "That person... who is the person who gave you the white phosphorus?! "

Shen Yugui frowned and thought for a while, "He claims to be...Master Lu."

Su Cen's figure flickered, and he ran back!
