He left from the tavern that had become lively.

Outside the door is a pedestrian street, and there are not many people on the road.Because today is the announcement day, everyone rushed to watch, and even many stall owners on both sides suspended their business... Instead of waiting here, it is better to push the cart over there and shout.

Lu Qianqiu didn't wait too long, a pigeon flew down from the opposite roof. Its feathers were pure white, and a pair of black eyes stared at him quietly.After Lu Qianqiu took the small cylinder of Tibetan letters from its lap, seeing that it still refused to leave, he smiled and touched its little head, conjured a small handful of rice and handed it to it before.

The pigeon croaked twice and began to eat bit by bit.After finishing, she rubbed against him reluctantly, and then slowly flew away.

Lu Qianqiu read the letter, smiled, then turned and left.

This is a wilderness territory, stones and withered grass grow next to each other, dirt roads are marked with ruts that have been left behind for some time, the sun in the sky is a bit hot, and the nearest green ridge is still a long way to go. The pedestrian wearing a bamboo hat wiped his sweat, compared the distance with dry eyes, sighed, and wanted to move on.

The sound of horseshoes rushing came from behind him.Pedestrians hurriedly gave way. This road is not an official road, so the width is a bit narrow. It would be too crowded for a person to walk, let alone a big horse with four hooves.The martial artist in green clothes and holding a sword flew past him, he breathed a sigh of relief quietly, and wanted to move forward.

But the man suddenly came back.

"Excuse me, old man," said a very polite young man on the horse, with a smile on his brows, and there was a kind of auspicious beauty between his brows, his eyes were very dark, with a clear and clean taste, it was easy It makes people feel good about it.He leaned down and asked, "How far is the nearest inn from here? Can we arrive before nightfall?"

Pedestrian laughed in his heart at his fuss, he slowly raised his head, and replied in an old voice: "The inn...it shouldn't be very far away...I still remember..."

A bright light suddenly exploded in front of his eyes, his pupils shrank into a ball almost instantly, he quickly backed up, with only the toes of his feet touching the ground, he backed up quickly as if he was moving.

But even so, it was still a step too late.The sword light bloomed from the tip of his nose, and he almost felt the bone-chilling chill brought by the icy sword edge. The bamboo hat on his head was split in two, revealing his age spot-covered face. wrinkled face.At this moment, his gaze was like a falcon, looking coldly at the young man who was still asking questions just a moment ago.

"It's been a long time, my lord." Lu Qianqiu smiled and said immediately: "It really is you, I thought I recognized the wrong person."

The "old man" tore off his fake beard, and he looked at the man in front of him sternly, and then said: "I don't know when I saw you, who ordered you to come here, is Dali Temple people, or...Princess Taiping?"

Lu Qianqiu smiled: "It seems that you really don't remember me, my lord, but forget it, no matter who it is, I will come here to stop you. Did you forget, my lord, that your trial has already come down , isn’t that the only one who really wants to kill you?”

Lai Junchen, who escaped from the capital, immediately contorted his face, he gritted his teeth and said, "I don't believe, Your Majesty will definitely change her mind..."

Lu Qianqiu shook his head, he didn't break Lai Junchen's idea of ​​deceiving himself, he felt that the empress was too cruel and ruthless, but he didn't think there was anything worthy of pity for Lai Junchen.He drew his sword very fast, just a gust of wind blew by, and he fell off the horse, and the long sword in his hand pecked away like a swallow.

Lai Junchen did not retreat, a silver thread flashed between his palms, this bright thread intercepted the tip of a flying sword, and then, a longer thread flew out of his sleeve, like a silver snake spit Like a letter, it went straight to one of Lu Qianqiu's eyes.

Lu Qianqiu tilted his head, his long hair flew up in the wind, and at the corner of his eyes, he saw the adult flicking his fingertips, and a small dark brown insect fluttered towards him. ... His expression became solemn, and the long sword in his hand rose again. This time, the edge of his sword was imbued with a wonderful artistic conception, as if the branches and leaves were condensed with dew, and even the surrounding wind seemed to be cool. It was very slow to go up, but when Lai Junchen realized it, his trump card - the swollen god Gu from Miao Jiang Sheshen Village, just fell to the ground without moving.

"You..." Lai Junchen was shocked, and he took a step back: "You are not in the spirit lake!"

"You are Dan Yijing!" He roared: "Your strength is enough to be in the top ten of the elite list. Why didn't Sima Chengzhen stop you? How do they do things in Heyu Tower!"

"You mean the Heyu Tower, which specializes in assassinations?" Lu Qianqiu sighed: "It seems that you have already expected that the finances collected by Dali Temple from your mansion can be compared with the recorded account numbers. not on."

Lai Junchen continued to retreat, his martial arts were not very high in the first place, he was from a homeless background, the lowest gangster in the city, if not because of the two informants, he would not have been favored by the Empress.When he got the opportunity to practice, his body was already in shape, even if he used precious treasures to improve it later, it would not allow him to advance bravely and vigorously on the way of martial arts.He is in charge of interrogation, and some people go through life and death for him, so why should he suffer himself?

"No!" He panicked and said, "You can't kill me. Her Majesty the Empress hasn't issued the execution order yet. I still have a chance. If you kill me, you will only cause trouble for yourself... I, I remember you... you It is Lu Qianqiu who is ranked 78th on the elite list. He likes to wear Tsing Yi, and the sword has a cicada pattern, so it is also called the 'Shocking Cicada Sword'. You are hiding yourself, why do you want to expose it for me?!"

Lu Qianqiu sighed: "Because I'm going to meet a friend of mine, and I want to bring the news of your death with me. He will definitely be very happy if he knows."

"You, you..." Lai Junchen couldn't remember who this friend of "Shocking Cicada Sword" was. In his life, he had harmed countless people. Thousands of families had been wiped out in his hands, so In this way, he didn't know why he died.

And in the end, what he thought of was not the countless souls who died under his hands.It was the sneaky look he gave when he was received by the Empress that day.

Lu Qianqiu seemed to be able to see what he was thinking from his last expression. He was silent for a while, without taking anything away from this cruel official. He walked back to his horse, just about to ride the horse When he was going, he suddenly stopped his movements and turned to the side.

The surrounding area is very quiet. This piece of wilderness was originally an inaccessible place, and now that the sun is hot, not many people travel here.Lu Qianqiu didn't move, and the person in the dark also held back his movement. He felt quite embarrassed and wondered if he should go out to say hello.

Lu Qianqiu sighed: "You should have heard everything?"

Is he cheating on me?People in the dark secretly thought.

"Unfortunately, you heard something you shouldn't have heard," Lu Qianqiu said in a low voice, "I'm afraid I'm going to silence you here."

The man in the dark couldn't help sticking out his head from behind the stone. It was a shiny monk's head. He said speechlessly, "Brother, don't scare me. Say something to silence me, but in fact it doesn't even have any murderous intent."

Lu Qianqiu glanced at him, then laughed: "Old monk, what are you doing hiding here?"

The old monk was indeed very old, with a white beard and drooping eyelids. He was a little shy and embarrassed and said, "I'm in a hurry. My stomach is rumbling, so I want to find a place to hide... Hehe... ...who knew...hehe, you also chose this place..."

Lu Qianqiu blinked: "Then is your stomach healed now?"

"Okay, okay!" The old monk seemed afraid that he would approach, he quickly jumped out from behind the big rock, tightened his belt, and said, "I'm right here, little brother, if you want to kill or cut, hurry up come on!"

Lu Qianqiu sized him up for a while: "Are you a monk from Dayun Temple?"

"No, no, no," the monk shook his head like a rattle: "The monks in Dayun Temple are very rich, and I am a wild monk. I only eat wild vegetables on weekdays."

Lu Qianqiu sighed: "This is really difficult... Forget it, you swear not to tell what happened today, just go."

The monk's eyes widened: "What? Are you out of your mind?".

Lu Qianqiu restrained his smile.

The monk immediately waved his hands. For some reason, when the little brother put on a straight face, he always felt a little flustered. He laughed and said: "You are doing a job of killing people. I will accept the title of Junchen." I've heard that, brother, you kill well, you kill so well! But, you don't know what that person is thinking, if she has a lump in your heart, it's not good, brother, you are alone, How can you defeat the imperial court?"

Lu Qianqiu frowned and said, "Then should I kill someone just to keep it secret?"

The monk choked. He found it difficult to utter the word "yes" from his own standpoint.

Lu Qianqiu chuckled lightly: "Since I don't want to kill you, I will let you go. What is there to worry about?"

The monk also felt this way, but he quickly realized it, and said in a heavy tone: "Brother, with your temper, I'm afraid it will be difficult for you to survive in this Jianghu martial arts world."

Lu Qianqiu smiled and said: "There are different ways to survive. Don't I still have another way now? What's more, if living is just for living, for the sake of living itself, to do things that go against your heart, then His life is too heavy."

With a complex expression on the monk's face, he muttered to himself: "You don't understand, you don't understand anything..."

Lu Qianqiu shook his head: "Perhaps. Old monk, you should leave here quickly, find a place to stay before dark, and don't get caught by tigers and wolves."

After speaking, he wanted to get on his horse and leave.But in the next moment, a big hand grabbed from the side and grabbed his rein.
