Placid Chang'an

In a trance, everything changes in an instant.

Su Cen stood on the spot with his body bent, watching He Xiao's group change from being aggressive to fleeing in all directions. The flames were messy, blood was splattered, and the howling pierced the night sky.

Even though he was close at hand, it seemed that everything was just a dream, which was absurd and frightening.

He stared closely at the two overlapping shadows in front of him, afraid that they would disappear in the blink of an eye.But he didn't dare to look back, and couldn't imagine how the people who were far away in the sky appeared in front of him.

It wasn't until the person behind him put a cloak behind him, pulled him in front of him, and held him in his arms, that he finally came back to his senses.

Only then did I realize that I was shaking badly.

Li Shi pressed the man in his arms to comfort him for a while before regaining some vitality, and kissed him on the forehead, "Okay, it's all right, I'm here."

Trembling, Su Cen managed to form a complete sentence: "I... I thought... I was going to die."

Li Shi exuded a chill all over his body: "Who dares?"

Whoever dares to touch his people, he will kill that person without a place to bury him.

Su Cen continued, "I'm afraid...I'm afraid I'll die here..."

If I die here, I will never see you again.

He rarely showed his weak side in front of people, especially in front of this person, he would rather stretch his neck to show his strength than shrink his arms to show weakness.But now that he narrowly escaped from death, he himself has not yet come to his senses, his eyes are also hazy, what he said is only in his head, and he says what he thinks.

As a result, his thoughts were all chaotic. Just after he said that he was afraid of death, he said that with him, he would die without regret.

Li Shi gently stroked Su Cen's face with his hand. This person usually looked like a little hedgehog, but now he softened, and it hurt his heart.

I can't wait to be here, from the inside to the outside, and knead people into the flesh and blood.

Wu Chiha came to report that the traitors had been cleaned up, and the main criminal, He Xiao, was punished. Considering Mr. Su's injury, there was a camp set up by He Xiao and the others ahead, so they could simply rest for one night.

They came all the way, all riding thousands of miles of steeds, without even a proper tent.

Li Shi nodded, wrapped him tightly, hugged him horizontally and walked forward.

Back in this place again, Su Cen only felt that things were different, and only after a bowl of hot soup did he feel that he had come back to life.

The wounds on his body also woke up.

Only then did I see that my calf was scratched by a rock. It didn't look shallow, and a layer of skin was rolled up on my knee, which was bloody and scary. I was able to get up at that time purely because of my survival instinct.

Li Shi's men rummaged through He Xiao's camp for a long time and found a medicine box, washed the wound with wine and applied medicine to him.He broke out in a cold sweat from the pain, Li Shi's face was also gloomy and scary, and even the doctor who took the medicine was shaking violently, making Su Cen think that his leg might be disabled?

To distract Su Cen, he asked Li Shi how he found this place?

Chuzhou is not a necessary place to come from Chang'an, besides, it is not an official road, so it stands to reason that Li Shi can't get here no matter how he goes.

Li Shi said that they ran into Qi Lin on the way, and only after they arrived in Yangzhou did they learn that He Xiao had fled in fear of crime, and by the way, he also disappeared. The reason why they were able to catch up was that someone had marked them along the way.

"Mark?" Su Cen was about to ask a question, when someone reported from outside the tent, Feng Yiming asked to see him.

Li Shi glanced at Su Cen, nodded, and let people in.

Feng Yiming came in from the outside, the arrogance in his eyes was gone, and Su Cen obviously felt a little more tenderness in his eyes.

Li Shi's expression didn't change, and he couldn't see any fluctuations.

After saluting briefly, Feng Yiming sat down at Li Shi's head, he was in love, and he stopped at the ceremony, there was nothing to criticize.

Su Cen frowned, and asked straight to the point: "Who are you?"

Feng Yiming smiled slightly, "Like I said, I'm from the secret door...but I'm also from the prince."

Su Cen looked at Li Shi.

Li Shidao: "It was true that he planted a secret door by my side before, but it was later used by me."

Feng Yiming laughed and said, "I was tortured half to death, okay?"

Su Cen couldn't help but rolled his eyes, why are you tossing, are you tossing on the bed?

Feng Yiming continued: "I also heard that Mr. Lu is interested in you this time. It happened that He Xiao was set up by you in Yangzhou City, and wanted to use you to supply Mr. Lu. I hijacked you to gain He Xiao's trust. , and follow him to find the hiding place of the secret door."

Su Cen asked, "Who is Master Lu?"

Feng Yiming said: "It is said that he is the head of Jingmen's sect, who is in charge of business and planning, and can be regarded as the master of the secret sect, but no one has seen what this master Lu looks like, and they don't know where he is. Once you reach him, you will not be far from the entire secret door."

Su Cen frowned: "Then why is he interested in me?"

Feng Yiming smiled, "Maybe you spoiled their good deeds when you were in the capital, and wanted to take your cramps and skin them as a warning to others."

Su Cen's face turned pale, Li Shi frowned, coughed lightly, and Feng Yiming immediately restrained himself a bit.

Su Cen said coldly, "So you use me as bait to catch big fish?"

Feng Yiming looked at Li Shi, and said cautiously: "I asked for instructions."

Li Shi raised his eyes, a dangerous cold light flashed, and said in a deep voice, "Am I sure?"

There was a taste of ice in the words. Feng Yiming knew that this person was really angry, so he didn't dare to argue anymore, and only whispered: "Didn't I let him go again halfway?"

Su Cen laughed angrily: "I can live a few more days if you don't let me go."

Feng Yiming felt that if he stayed here any longer, he might be ruined by the two people in front of him. He thought that the hero would not suffer the loss in front of him, so he found an excuse to slip away.

Su Cen didn't remember until they left and asked Li Shi if he saw his elder brother and Qu Ling'er in Yangzhou?

Li Shi shook his head.

Su Cen couldn't help frowning, he doesn't worry about the elder brother, now that He Xiao is in his hands, according to the relationship between him and the elder brother, he wouldn't do anything to him.

But Qu Linger...

Li Shi seemed to see what he was thinking, and comforted him, "Qi Lin went to look for it."

Su Cen nodded, just about to say something, when he turned his head, he was thrown into his arms, staring at him with eyes as wide as the sky, and said, "Don't think about it, just sleep for a while."

what is this?Lying drunk in the arms of the emperor?Although he didn't drink, his cheeks became hot from those eyes staring at him, and his whole body burned up, he didn't dare to move, and had to carefully probe: "Do you have to sleep like this?"

Li Shi didn't intend to let him go, and he didn't move his eyes. He said unreasonably and unquestionably, "That's it, go to sleep."

When Qu Ling'er woke up, she had a dull pain in her head and aches all over her body, and she didn't know where she was for a moment.

I just remember going to Xiaohong to say goodbye early this morning. He also noticed that Xiaohong didn't drink a sip of the tea that Xiaohong gave him, but he didn't expect this person to become smarter. Instead of poisoning the tea, he put the poison on his own food. On the candied fruit, he slipped two before leaving, but fell down before getting off the boat.

The ones dangling around were supposed to be on a boat, but it wasn't Xiaohong's big boat, but a small black-covered boat that could only accommodate two or three people.

After trying to run the internal force, all the acupuncture points immediately tingled like needles. Qu Ling'er clicked her lips and wanted to try again, only to hear a sudden voice from the dark place: "You don't need to try, your acupuncture points are sealed. , afraid that you would run away again."

Qu Ling'er followed the sound and looked at the bow of the boat. She was sitting alone with her backlit. She looked pretty, but her back was very indifferent. She was dressed in black, and the two round moon scimitars around her waist were particularly eye-catching.

Qu Ling'er couldn't help being taken aback: "Han Shu?"

The man turned around, his age was about the same as Qu Linger's, but his eyes were cold, he raised his eyebrows and said with a half smile: "It's hard for you to remember me."

Qu Ling'er knew that this person was still angry, so she struggled to get up and said kindly: "Did Xiaohong tell you about the situation at that time? I was really helpless, and I wasn't sure if I could survive. Why let you down in vain."

Han Shu was angry: "In the end, he just doesn't believe us."

Qu Ling'er came out of the boat tent, only to find that the boat hadn't left, but was parked beside a dilapidated wharf, but it didn't look like a Yangzhou wharf anymore.

Qu Ling'er sat down next to Han Shu, and whispered: "It's not that I don't believe you, but I don't want to cause trouble for you."

"Isn't it troublesome for us to worry about your missing whereabouts?" Han Shu's expression softened, and he pointed to the pier and said to Qu Ling'er: "Xiao Hong, go and buy some clothes. We will leave when she comes back."

Qu Linger asked, "Where are you going?"

Han Shudao: "Of course it's back to the secret door."

Qu Ling'er twitched her lips, "You still think I've lived too long, don't you? Are you in such a hurry to send me to see Hades?"

Han Shu patted Qu Ling'er on the shoulder, "Don't worry, my father has already said that he will protect you when you go back, and he will definitely not kill you, that is, chop off your hands and feet, but From now on, Xiaohong and I will take care of you, you just need to lie on the bed."

Qu Linger's face turned pale with fright, and she asked uncertainly, "Master really said that?"

Han Shu smiled and said: "My father loves you the most, why would he be willing to chop off your hands and feet, at most it will break your tendons and hamstrings, so that you will not be able to run in the future."

Qu Linger: "..."

There is no difference, okay?

Qu Ling'er asked cautiously, "Can I have a discussion?"

Han Shu glanced at him, "What are you discussing?"

"Could you..." Qu Ling'er chose her words carefully, "I won't reply..."

Han Shu interrupted directly: "Where else can you go if you don't go back to the secret door? Continue to hide and be hunted down? My father said that since you are still alive, it is impossible to let you die again. You have been in the secret door since you were a child." Daddy, how can we rest assured that we are alone and helpless outside?"

Qu Ling'er murmured, "It's not...alone..."

Han Shu frowned. Just as he was about to ask a question, he saw a person coming from the thick fog by the river.

It was Xiaohong. Han Shu stood up and waved his hands, but he realized something was wrong in an instant.

Xiaohong hurriedly walked and turned her head frequently, obviously bumping into something.

Suddenly, a cold light appeared in the dense fog, Xiao Hong hurriedly retreated to avoid it, but then a black shadow approached her eyes, wrapped in white mist, and the cold sword light broke through the fog.

Han Shu immediately threw out the scimitar in his hand, volleyed to block Xiaohong's blow, and then stepped out on the boat, catching the scimitar that had turned back and fighting with the black shadow in the fog.

Qu Ling'er froze in place, he was very familiar with this figure.

It's Qi Lin.

"Brother Qi!" Qu Ling'er waved her hands on the boat, but Qi Lin was fighting with Han Shu and had no time to care about him.The boat was still some distance away from the shore. Qu Ling'er originally wanted to fly ashore, but her acupoints were all sealed by Han Shu, so she had to struggle to pull the cable towards the shore, and then climbed ashore with both hands and feet.

Han Shu's two scimitars rotate like rings, and they are best at close-to-body combat.

But what he met was Qi Lin.

Han Shu's knives are all about skill, they can cut people's skins and bones in an inch, but when Qi Lin uses the knives, he is purely vicious and ruthless, and goes directly to the gate of fate.

"Han Shu be careful!" Seeing Qi Lin switch the sword to his left hand, Qu Linger blurted out the words before she had time to think about it.

Qi Lin's sword headed towards Han Shu's throat at an unusual angle. Fortunately, Qu Ling'er reminded him that Han Shu hurriedly withdrew his momentum, and the scimitar was blocked in front of him before he would dodge.

Immediately afterwards, Qu Ling'er was stared at by a gaze that made her feel chills.

Qu Ling'er looked at Qi Lin with a guilty conscience, and said anxiously, "Brother Qi, behind you!"

Qi Lin didn't think about it at all, and immediately bent down, just avoiding the sneak attack from behind Xiao Hong.

So Qu Ling'er received two more cold glances.

Qu Ling'er is helpless, he has a new love on one side and an old love on the other, he is also very embarrassed, okay?

After a short fight, Han Shu and Xiaohong were defeated one-on-one, gradually failing.

Qu Ling'er thought about the ugly man who was tortured in the dungeon of Xingqing Palace back then, and saw that Qi Lin had no intention of being merciful at all. Even if she made up her mind, she must never let Han Shu and Xiao Hong fell into Qi Lin's hands.

Qu Ling'er ran back to the pier to untie the cable, and immediately called out: "Han Shu, Xiaohong, this way!"

Han Shu covered Xiaohong and retreated first, and when he wanted to get away again, he found that this person refused to give up an inch, and he was determined to keep him.

Han Shu knew that he was no match for this person, so he said while coping, "Ling'er take Xiaohong away first!"

While speaking, he was hit on the arm, and the scimitar almost fell out of his hand.

Qu Ling'er didn't intend to leave, instead she stepped forward, "Brother Qi, let them go."

Qi Lin glanced at him coldly, but instead forced Han Shu to retreat three feet away, knelt down on one knee, and immediately spat out a mouthful of blood.

Qi Lin's eyes froze, and his murderous aura was revealed!

Qu Ling'er didn't have time to think about it, she stepped forward in two steps and blocked Han Shu!

His brother Qi is really powerful, he is good at using swords and swords, and he didn't feel much pain when he pierced through his chest.

He even had the strength to turn around and let Han Shu go quickly, successfully missing the moment when his hand trembled for the first time since Brother Qi took up the weapon.

The blood dripped down the sword tip onto the bluestone board, like beads with a broken string, resounding.

The moment he fell down, he saw the bright moon in the clouds, it was so round, and he really wanted to take his brother Qi to watch it together.

But brother Qi didn't seem happy today, his eyes were covered with a layer of cold mist, as cold as ice.

Forget it, next time.
