Looking to the Thirteen Rivers

The snow melted, puddles were everywhere on the floor, and a group of people galloped over, crushing the silhouette reflected in the water.

Ji Wanshu leaned against the wall, saw the disciples walking towards her, and asked, "Where are they?"

A disciple got off his horse and respectfully said, "I found out, it's just outside the city."

"See clearly, it's Wen Chaoyu, right?"

"It is undoubtedly her. She is also leading a team of subordinates, guarding a carriage, and is rushing towards the main altar of the Ziwei Sect."

"Who's in the carriage?"

"I didn't see them, but they all looked alert and moved cautiously. If the disciples who were returning to the city from the mission hadn't happened to meet them, they might not have been able to find them."

The person who can let Wen Chaoyu personally come forward to escort him looks extraordinary. Ji Wanshu took the reins, rode at the front, and said, "Let's go!"

On the other side, in the deep and long forest, a group of chariots and horses were driving slowly on the mountain road. Wen Chaoyu was driving the horse, wearing a bamboo hat low. She turned her head and glanced at the faintly visible city gate, and said to the subordinates beside her: "It's been a long time, why hasn't anyone come?"

"Guardian, don't worry, just wait a little longer," the subordinate also craned his neck to look, and said, "We showed up on purpose before, and they will definitely report to Miss Ji non-stop, and they are probably on their way to chase us now. "

Wen Chaoyu nodded and said, "Okay, then I'll go first."

The subordinate was stunned: "Let's go?"

Wen Chaoyu stretched his waist: "I am injured, and no one can beat me, so I leave this to you."

The subordinate couldn't laugh or cry and said: "The guardian is joking? How can we beat your apprentice?"

"Pick the persimmons softly," Wen Chaoyu said, "Except for her, kill everyone else you see, but don't forget to act, you have to protect the person in the carriage to your death, I'll just watch in secret."

After she finished speaking, she walked over to the side of the carriage and knocked on it, saying, "I'll know what to do later?"

The curtain was lifted, and a female subordinate who had disguised herself was sitting inside, and she replied: "Don't worry, protect the law, I will remember it."

This female subordinate was wearing a bright blue dress, half of her face was covered with a veil, she looked a bit like Shen Mandong.

Wen Chaoyu has been dormant in Yunhua Palace for many years. He has seen Shen Mandong up and down, and is very familiar with her clothes and appearance. Wen Zhaoyu has put in a lot of effort to pick this female subordinate to pretend to be Shen Mandong this time, but they only need to be intentional during this trip. To attract the attention of Yunhua Palace, you don't need to be too serious, you don't need to say anything from this female subordinate, if someone from Yunhua Palace comes, just kill them all, it's not difficult.

What's more, Wen Chaoyu also wanted to see if the fake Shen Mandong in Yunhua Palace could be more real than her.

"The sword case is ready," Wen Chaoyu said, "If you really can't beat it, just throw this thing over there, the most important thing is to escape."

The female subordinate did as she was told.

Before Ji Wanshu arrived, Wen Chaoyu didn't want to stay any longer, so he got off his horse and hid himself after a few words of advice. He followed secretly to observe the movement all the way. Sure enough, the subordinates didn't go far when they saw a group of Yunhua Palace disciples suddenly The ground appeared in front of him, barely blocking the way.

Seeing the cold-looking woman on the horseback, Wen Zhaoyu hid his breath even deeper, and hid silently in a clump of weeds, only poking out a pair of eyes.

·

"Senior Sister Ye, the disciples have already asked, there is no guest surnamed Shen in this inn." A disciple hurriedly came from the lobby and said.

Ye Zhilan's brows were deeply furrowed, she looked into the inn, and pondered: "How could it be, it's clear that the person is here."

"Could it be that the news is wrong?" The disciple said, "Who told Senior Sister that the person we are going to pick up is here?"

Ye Zhilan didn't answer, but asked instead: "Are you sure there is no one named Shen?"

The disciple said solemnly: "It's true, but... can you tell me who it is? We only know the surname, but we don't know what this person looks like. If someone is inside, even if the disciples pass by him I don't recognize it."

Man Jiangxue explained earlier in the morning that she must not tell them that the person who is going to pick her up is Shen Mandong. Naturally, Ye Zhilan would not tell them the truth easily, and said: "You wait, I will go and see for myself."

Ye Zhilan entered the inn again, first questioned the shopkeeper and the waiter, and then opened the door one by one to look, but there was no sign of Shen Mandong.

what happened?

Ignoring the curses from the guests, Ye Zhilan flew down from the second floor, and was about to order her disciples to search all the inns in Jincheng, when she saw a disciple riding a horse from the long street, and said, "Ye Sister, there is a situation!"

Ye Zhilan said: "Say."

"During my investigation just now, I found traces of the Ziwei Sect outside the city," said the disciple without dismounting, "and Senior Sister Ji, she took people out of the city, and I'm afraid something might happen."

Ji Wanshu is also in Jincheng?Ye Zhilan was slightly surprised, and hurriedly said: "Did you see how many people Ziwei taught?"

The disciple replied: "There are not many people, but they all seem to be difficult to deal with, and they are all guarding a carriage carefully, and they don't know who is in that carriage."

The Ziwei sect suddenly came to Jincheng, and who are they escorting... Ye Zhilan pondered for a while, then raised her head and said, "Not good!"

Could it be that Shen Mandong was robbed by them in advance!

"Meet Wan Shu immediately!" Ye Zhilan got on the horse, "The person we are going to pick up is probably in that carriage, hurry up!"

A group of people raised their whips and drove their horses, and rushed towards the city gate. At the same time, after they left, a figure slowly leaned out from the corridor on the second floor of the inn.

The dark clouds had dissipated, and a thin light came across the sky, casting lightly on the woman's body. She was dressed in a cool blue dress, with a brocade robe on top, the skirt and black hair shaking together, her half-veiled face Showing a pair of picturesque eyebrows and eyes, reflecting the faint sunlight, a beautiful brilliance shone slightly.

She stood there for a while, overlooking the mountains outside the city, then picked up the sword box by the corridor and put it on her back, turned around and entered the inn.

·

A cold wind blew through the forest, and a little bit of snow fell. The two teams stopped to face each other, and the atmosphere was dignified.

"Good dogs don't get in the way, everyone in Yunhua Palace get out of the way!" A Ziwei Cultist shouted first.

Ji Wanshu narrowed her eyes slightly. She recognized the person who spoke. He is Wen Chaoyu's subordinate and has been with Wen Zhaoyu all year round. Since he came and Wen Chaoyu disappeared, it means that Wen Chaoyu must have hid and will not hide too far.

Ji Wanshu snorted coldly, and said, "Jincheng is the boundary of Yunhua Palace, how can you allow Ziwei Sect to trespass? Where is Wen Chaoyu!"

The believer looked contemptuous, and said with his hands: "My guardian is not here. If you want to find her, go find her yourself, and don't come in our way!"

Seeing the bad attitude of these little guys, Ji Wanshu sneered, stepped on the horse's back, and rushed over with his sword.

With her in the lead, the Yunhua Palace disciples quickly drew their swords to follow, and the two sides immediately became entangled. For a moment, swords, lights and swords appeared in the forest, and the sound of fighting was endless.

After all, it is a sect that can compete head-on with Yunhua Palace. Although the number of Ziwei sects this time is not large, they are all capable of fighting. They are not weaker than the disciples of Yunhua Palace. There was a desperate momentum in the hand, and after a fight, Yunhua Palace did not have the upper hand.

Ji Wanshu's eyes were sharp, and she realized that although these believers were ruthless, they were only defending, not actively attacking. They were always around the carriage, obviously protecting the people there.

"Broken carriage!" Ji Wanshu gave an order, and the disciples rushed straight to the carriage.

Seeing this, the followers of the Ziwei Cult all showed panic. Immediately, they used their bodies as shields to firmly surround the carriage and raised their swords to resist.

How could Ji Wanshu take them seriously?She tapped her toes lightly, leaped onto the roof of the car, and stabbed into the car with a sword, but no blood was seen. Impatient, Ji Wanshu drew back the sword quickly, and immediately used her true energy to hit the roof hard clap.

In an instant, the carriage shattered, the wood splashed, and the invisible true energy spread, blowing away the surrounding believers and disciples who were fighting endlessly.

The next moment, a blue shadow flashed in front of his eyes, and he fled to the rear quickly. Ji Wanshu followed closely, the long sword in his hand was ready to go, and when he was about to pierce the man's chest and back with a volley, However, another long sword with silver light suddenly struck from the side, and happened to hit her wrist, interrupting Ji Wanshu's move very dangerously.

This sword didn't have killing intent, but it was powerful enough that Ji Wanshu's mouth went numb from the shock.

"Junior Sister Ji, show mercy!"

Hearing this cry, Ji Wanshu looked sideways, and saw Ye Zhilan who was supposed to be in the palace rushing towards with someone, and said coldly, "What are you doing here!"

"This person can't be killed!" Ye Zhilan quickly moved to her side, and said in a voice that only the two of them could hear, "She may be Uncle Shen!"

Ji Wanshu was a little unresponsive for a while, and said, "Which Uncle Shen?"

Ye Zhilan raised her hand to take back her saber, but said in a low voice, "I'm confused, how many Uncle Shen are there?"

Shen Mandong?Ji Wanshu was distracted, and quickly looked up, only to see a woman in a blue dress and a veil standing behind a group of Ziwei Cultists.

Even though she couldn't see the woman's specific appearance clearly, but this hasty glance coincided with the figure she had witnessed every day many years ago. Could it be that it was really Shen Mandong?

Ji Wanshu's eyes were complicated, and he frowned, "She's not dead?"

"I was still skeptical at first," Ye Zhilan looked at the woman from a distance, and said, "But now that I see her, I have no choice but to believe it."

No wonder the Ziwei Church took the risk to pass by Jincheng during the daytime, and it turned out that they found Shen Mandong!Ji Wanshu said angrily: "You came down the mountain for this matter? Why didn't you say it earlier!"

Ye Zhilan said: "Master and Uncle Man confessed in this way, if I didn't see you getting murderous intentions just now, I would have to hide it from you."

"Since she is still alive, why is she willing to fall into the hands of Ziwei Cult?"

"I don't know what's going on at the moment, maybe the Ziwei sect caught her and used some means."

"But her skill just now doesn't look like she was being used by someone."

The disciples were still fighting, Ye Zhilan looked at the battle situation and said: "Don't worry about it so much, Martial Uncle Man made a special investigation before, Nan Gong Min came to Martial Uncle Shen because he suspected that the holy sword was in her hand, you see she is carrying a sword on her back right now The box, it is very likely to be the holy sword of the Ziwei Sect, and they must not be allowed to succeed."

"Then stop talking nonsense," Ji Wanshu said with a grim expression, "Snatch him here!"

·

With Ye Zhilan's timely support, the number of Ziwei Sect members was insufficient, and they soon fell into a disadvantage. Seeing Ji Wanshu and Ye Zhilan chasing "Shen Mandong", Wen Zhaoyu watched for a long time, and couldn't help but waver at this moment.

Unexpectedly, Ye Zhilan, Xie Yijun's first apprentice, also came. Although she is not a disciple with high martial arts skills, she is by no means a person to be underestimated. What's more, she and Ji Wanshu joined forces to attack, and no one can resist. This battle can already be done Declare failure, not to mention killing these Yunhua Palace disciples, I am afraid that few of the subordinates will be able to retreat unscathed.

Wen Zhaoyu frowned, stabilized the hilt of the knife, and rushed forward with a stride, stopping in front of the female subordinate, slashing the sword fiercely, repelling the two sharp long swords, and at the same time, he couldn't help but take two steps back. The blood on his face faded in an instant.

"Wen Chaoyu!" Ji Wanshu was furious, "You really didn't go far!"

The subordinates hurriedly retreated to protect the surroundings. Wen Chaoyu endured the pain in his shoulders and smiled sassily: "What are you hitting, can't you talk about it if you have something to say?"

"Since Wen Chaoyu came in person," Ye Zhilan said in a deep voice, "it means that the person opposite is really Uncle Shen."

Ji Wanshu raised his sword and pointed at Wen Zhaoyu: "If you are willing to let others know, I can spare you once."

Wen Zhaoyu's face turned pale, but her tone was always smiling, and said: "That's impossible," she raised her hand and pinched the female subordinate's neck, raised her eyebrows and said, "Shen Mandong is no longer someone in your Yunhua Palace, she is now She has promised to go to our Ziwei sect, if you want to snatch it, you have to ask her if she agrees."

Just as Ji Wanshu was about to speak, Wen Chaoyu spoke first: "But there is something I have to tell you. She has already taken my dumb medicine and Tuigong powder. Not only can she not speak at the moment, she can only speak at most. Can use a useless lightness skill, we don't have an advantage in numbers, we can't beat you, but if you continue to entangle, then I will kill her first, and you can't get anything."

Ji Wanshu held the sword tightly, with hatred in his eyes, Wen Zhaoyu didn't look at her, but only turned to Ye Zhilan: "What should I say?"

Not to be outdone, Ye Zhilan looked back at Wen Chaoyu and said, "However, we, Yunhua, have medicines to cure us. You just saw the situation was wrong and told some deceptive lies. I advise you to stop as soon as possible. Swords don't have eyes. , do you think we can't see that you are still seriously injured? You are not a threat to us."

"That's not a mere retreat." Wen Chaoyu simply stopped pretending, and wiped the blood seeping from his shoulder, "How about my Wen Zhaoyu's poison technique? It's not the first day you two have seen it. Within three hours If you don't understand, you Master Shen will be useless forever, understand?"

Ye Zhilan couldn't help showing hesitation when she heard her words.

If the facts are as she said, it will be difficult. Wen Chaoyu is a well-known master of poisons taught by Ziwei, and only she can detox the poison she prepared. Even if Shen Mandong is successfully rescued now, I am afraid that she will not be able to protect her. In the past, Shen Mandong became famous all over the world not only because of her appearance, but also because of her good swordsmanship. Now that she has finally shown herself, if she becomes a cripple who has lost her skills, who can afford it?

"Shameless!" Ji Wanshu scolded angrily, "Aren't you looking for her just for the Holy Sword? Get out of here and leave her behind!"

Wen Zhaoyu looked indifferently, looked at Ji Wanshu and said: "I can't be the master of this. Our leader has spoken, and we have to take back even the man and the sword. Both are indispensable."

"Then I'll kill you first!" Ji Wanshu had no patience, and stabbed Wen Chaoyu with his sword.

"I'm not joking with you." Wen Zhaoyu said, immediately swung the big knife, and hit the female subordinate's chest with the back of the knife, and immediately spat blood from the female subordinate's mouth.

"See?" Wen Zhaoyu said proudly, "If you dare to take a step closer, I will kill her immediately, and then run away with the holy sword. At that time, all human swords will be lost. Let's see how you explain to Xie Yijun."

She has a hostage in hand, so she has the upper hand, Ji Wanshu and Ye Zhilan have nothing to do with her, they can only suppress their anger and dare not act rashly.

"You leave to deal with the aftermath," Wen Zhaoyu stepped back carefully, and said to his subordinates, "I can't let them come here even if I die!"

After she finished speaking, she fled to the depths of the forest with that female subordinate. Ji Wanshu and Ye Zhilan hurried to catch up, but they were entangled by the disciples. Seeing that Wen Zhaoyu was about to leave, Ji Wanshu Panicked, she broke out of the encirclement with her sword in hand. Ye Zhilan followed her closely. Seeing that Ji Wan had cleared the way, she flew into the air and fell out of the crowd, chasing Wen Zhaoyu without touching the ground.

After all, Wen Chaoyu was injured, and she didn't escape very far with this female subordinate. Ye Zhilan was close at hand in the blink of an eye. She stabbed Wen Chaoyu first with a sword in the air, but unexpectedly "Shen Mandong" suddenly came out with a palm. It fell on the side of Ye Zhilan's neck, causing her to stumble immediately.

Ye Zhilan really suffered the blow and fell to the ground. She raised her head in amazement, and finally came to her senses at this moment.

Even if Shen Mandong was poisoned and coerced, she wouldn't be dizzy and hurt her. This woman is a counterfeit!

Seeing the change in Ye Zhilan's expression, Wen Chaoyu's face suddenly darkened. The female subordinate knew that she hadn't calmed down, she had missed something, and couldn't hide her panic for a while.

Wen Chaoyu cursed secretly, and immediately left the female subordinate and fled alone. Ye Zhilan reacted quickly, narrowly stabilized her figure and caught up again. Behind him, Ji Wanshu also rushed over, and killed the female subordinate with a sword. After that, the two All efforts were made to chase, trying to stop Wen Chaoyu.

There were constant howls in the forest, and the disciples fought fiercely. Wen Zhaoyu gritted his teeth and ran away enduring the pain, not daring to relax at all. She tried her best to increase her speed and ran forward. Unexpectedly, a blurry figure suddenly appeared in front of her eyes , like a loose fairy descending from the sky, immediately blocked her way completely.

A ray of lingering sword light galloped towards him like a rainbow, Wen Chaoyu stopped in a hurry, but he had no strength to dodge. He was hit by the sword energy on the spot and knelt down.

The unexpected sudden change made Ji Wanshu and Ye Zhilan in the rear also stunned.

The three of them showed a strange tacit understanding at this moment. They all raised their eyes to look at the figure, and saw a young woman in fluttering blue clothes slowly falling from mid-air in a green forest and white snow. , with a light body, a heavy sword case on his shoulders, and a veil and skirt flying around, revealing only a pair of calm and bright eyes.

Seeing this scene, Wen Chaoyu's pupils shrank suddenly, and he murmured in a low voice: "Shen Mandong...?"
