right after

As the sun sets in the west, the slanting light falls on the cool and cool western foot of the mountain, and on the flowing Yangtze River.

The calm Yangtze River slaps the high stone wall of the city wall, and breaks thousands of layers of waves, splitting the afterglow into fine scales of light.

This place has always been a place for military strategists to avoid disputes.

The tall city wall is more than [-] meters long, with stone cliffs standing behind it and the Yangtze River in front of it. This is a stone city built on the mountain.

Today, the officers and soldiers patrolling the city wall, just like in the past, inspect the boats and boats that have come and gone recently on the river with their eyes.

The guards searched as usual, but this time they found something unusual, they winked at each other, and immediately surrounded the boatman.

"Say, why is there so much private salt on your boat?" The guards inserted knives into the rice bag, and snow-white salt flowed out from the bottom.

"Hey, the official is accommodating, accommodating." The boatman slipped a few taels of silver into the hands of the nearest guard to please him.

"Recently, the investigation has been strict. If the superior finds out, no, no, you go and check for any other suspicious things." The head guard who led the team pointed to the cabin and said.

"Hey, my daughter is the only one among the officers." The boatman hurriedly grabbed the guard who was about to search, and said nervously.

"What are you doing, let me go, dad." A young woman about sixteen or seventeen years old wearing a purple tulle was dragged out of the cabin by several officers and soldiers, and shouted uneasily.

"Hey, this girl is really good-looking, with a thin waist and big breasts. I think it's very suspicious, so I'll take her for interrogation." The head guard touched the woman's tender face and said lewdly.

"Officer, you can't do it, you can't do it, she's still a girl with yellow flowers." The boatman tugged on the officers and soldiers' clothes, pleadingly.

"He sells private salt, arrest him for interrogation." The chief guard kicked the boatman who got in the way annoyedly.

The young woman turned her head and shouted in a panic: "Daddy..."

"If you obediently cooperate with our brother's inspection, I will let your father go tomorrow." The chief guard and the others led the girl all the way inside the city wall, brought the girl into the small black room, and said with their hands and feet.

"Gentlemen, please do me a favor. Xiaohong is just an ordinary girl, let me go." The girl looked at the approaching people, and retreated in fear while begging for mercy.

"Hahahahahaha..."

"You broke your throat, no one will save you, who told your father to smuggle illegal salt..."

The young girl seemed to know that she might not be able to finish her legs today, so she knelt down and begged, "Let Xiao Hong serve the officer one by one, please let my father go..."

"You all go out, I tasted it first, you come in again..." The chief guard said rudely, driving the others out.

In a blink of an eye, there were only the girl and an official left in the room.

The girl lost her innocent appearance, and bewitched, "Guard, come here."

The guard hurriedly rushed forward to hug her, kissing her presumptuously, a copper hairpin was quietly inserted into her neck, and the guard's body fell to the ground, with blood gushing out.

Xiaohong hid her in a corner, and coquettishly called out inside: "Come in another official..."

After some pushing and shoving outside, he opened the door and hurriedly entered a thinner body guard, who knew that as soon as his front foot stepped through the door, he was ambushed by his back foot and fell to the ground without making a sound.

The two guards outside the door waited impatiently and put their ears on the door. They could not help feeling distracted when they heard the woman's panting coming from inside.

"Come again...another official..."

"Oh, this woman is really tough, I'll go in first brother." A guard patted the body of another guard, opened the door with a smile and went in.

"Officer...why are you in such a hurry..." Xiao Hong pulled the hairpin from No.3 guard's neck and said with a wicked smile.

Under the woman's tender voice inside, there were some small movements, but no one paid attention to it, just because of the profanity.

"Guan...you can come in too," Xiaohong greeted from inside.

The last short guard smelled a strong smell of blood when he entered the door, and just when he got vigilant and drew out his knife, the copper hairpin had already sunk into his neck.

The guard fell to the ground, looked at the disdainful smile on the figure's face in the dim sight, and died unwillingly.

This is not a beautiful woman, but a murderous ghost!

The girl took off the clothes of the last guard and put them on herself, cleaned up the scene, and went out in a blink of an eye, with a strange face on her face.

"Find me Vice General Yang Zuo and tell him to come to my camp." Murong Bai stopped a short guard and ordered.

"Yes." The short guard bowed his head and replied.

"Your voice sounds strange, are you a new soldier?" Murong Bai took a few steps forward, looked at the short guard in front of him carefully, and asked suspiciously.

"Yes, I just came here a few days ago." The guard glanced at the handsome man with sword eyebrows and starry eyes, and replied respectfully.

"Okay, you go." Murong Bai glanced at the hole in his ear, and smiled imperceptibly at the corner of his mouth.

The guard watched his pleasing figure leave, and thought to himself: I didn't expect Muyun to have such a handsome man, I don't know what his name is.

If she knew Murong Bai, she would definitely notice something was wrong.

Day out, night in, stars out.

The water of the Yangtze River was as usual, beating against the majestic walls of Stone City and the hulls of merchant ships.

Today, there are more than a dozen merchant ships that have been inspected and found to be problematic, and they are forced to dock on the shore.

The night is the best cover. The ship docked on the shore, the cabin deck was quietly opened, and a group of men in black quietly emerged from the bottom of the ship.

There was a sound of a stone falling into the Yangtze River, and there was a light thud, as if it was a signal.

The five-claw hook silently grasped the city wall, and the men in black quickly climbed to the top.

"Master, come up quickly." In the dim light, the red sleeve wearing Muyun's guard uniform recognized Han Qing at a glance.

"How's it going in the city?" Han Qing borrowed her strength to go up to the city wall and asked in a low voice.

"The number of guards in the city is about the same as the information." Hongxiu replied after observing for a day.

Han Qing nodded, and waved to everyone to act according to the machine. The man in black sneaked into the city gate like a mouse.

After half a stick of incense, Han Qing and Hong Xiu stood where they were, and when no one came back, they immediately sensed something was wrong.

Hongxiu set off and said, "Master, I'll go check on the situation."

Han Qing took her hand, shook her head, and said solemnly: "I'm afraid it has been exposed, let's leave immediately."

As soon as the words fell, it was suddenly as bright as day in the city gate, and densely packed bows and arrows were aimed at Han Qing.

Murong Bai showed his figure, and said with a smile, "Han Qing, long time no see, do you want to come to Muyun as our guest again?"

"Murong Bai, why are you here again!" Han Qing's complexion immediately turned ugly when he saw the leader.

He got the news that Murong Bai was sitting in the court, how could he come here secretly.

"Of course I'm here to greet you, and I'm Muyun's guest." Murong Bai waved his hand, and the archers began to surround the two of them.

"You betrayed me." Han Qing turned her head and looked at Hongxiu sternly.

Hong Xiu quickly shook his head, defending himself and said: "Master, I will not betray you. If you don't believe me, I will immediately jump into the sea from the city gate."

"Okay, I trust you, you go down first." Han Qing glanced at the guards who were gradually approaching, and said to Hongxiu.

Hong Xiu shook his head, flashed out a dagger, shielded it in front of him, and said: "No, Lord, you go first, let me cut the back."

Han Qing handed the rope into her hands, and said with a very solemn expression: "Don't say too much, you can't stop them, go and inform the troops behind us, and retreat quickly, I will escape by myself."

Hong Xiu gritted her teeth, bit the dagger in her mouth, took the rope and jumped down the gate.

Immediately, the arrows shot down the city gate densely like rainwater. Han Qing raised his short knife and slashed at the guard. With a turn of the knife, he induced the bow and arrow to reflect towards the guard.

The guards didn't expect him to be so capable, and he fell to the ground in response to the arrow.

Han Qing glanced quickly, swayed from side to side, swayed her red sleeve lightly to the end, grabbed the rope, and said to Murong Bai: "I won't accompany you anymore."

"Quick, stop him." Murong Bai's heart tightened, and with a lot of effort, he dodged in front of Han Qing to stop him personally.

The corner of Han Qing's mouth curled up, and he said sarcastically, "Oh, I'm finally willing to show myself, I will never forgive you this time."

Murong Bai raised his long sword and stabbed at Han Qing, and the two of them exchanged swords and swords in a bang bang bang bang bang.

Murong Bai withdrew and turned back, and ordered his subordinates: "You keep a team, and the rest will capture that woman alive."

"Yes." The soldiers hurriedly chased Hongxiu and his party who had already fled by boat.

"Don't come here without any problems, why hasn't Han Concubine become much weaker after two months?" When they fought again, Murong Bai clearly felt that Han Qing's saber was not as sharp and flexible as before, and seemed to be holding on to his moves.

Murong Bai noticed that Han Qing was holding the knife in his left hand, which was not his usual hand, so he moved to attack Han Qing's right door.

Sure enough, Han Qing greeted him hastily, stepping back a few steps one after another.

Han Qing thought to himself: It's not good, he noticed a flaw.He said bravely, "Your grandpa's ultimate move has not been shown yet, let's see the move."

Han Qing gritted his teeth, raised a long sword on the ground with his toes, grabbed the long sword with his right hand, and held the weapon in both hands, enduring the tearing pain in his chest again, and violently attacked Murong Bai's death gate.

Han Qing made a move straight to the gate of life, Murong Bai dodged left and right in embarrassment, seeing that Han Qing was getting more and more powerless, he thought to himself: I'm afraid Han Qing is at the end of his strength.

The moves of Murong Bai's subordinates also became more and more fierce, focusing on the right hand. Han Qing couldn't bear his heavy blow, and his right hand trembled more and more. Finally, under his slash, the long sword in his right hand fell to the city wall.

Han Qing was panting heavily with a pale complexion, sweat dripping from his forehead.

Murong Bai took the long sword, pointed at Han Qing who was struggling to support with a single sword in the ground, and said: "Obey, let's capture him with nothing."

"Dream!" Han Qing pulled the rope and jumped down the gate.

Murong Bai saw that he couldn't beat him and wanted to escape, so he couldn't help being anxious, he immediately grabbed the rope next to him, turned over and chased after him.

The two were only supporting a rope, fighting each other on the city wall.

Han Qing was chased anxiously, and said in a hateful voice: "Murong Bai, if you don't stop, be careful, I will kill you."

"Let's see if you have the ability to do it!" Murong Bai was not a vegetarian either, and fought back heavily.

"Hmph, then go into the sea and feed the fish." Han Qing's long eyes revealed a fierce look, he stepped closer to Murong Bai, and raised his knife to cut Murong Bai's rope.

Murong Bai immediately gave up the rope in his hand, and took advantage of the situation to grab Han Qing's rope.

The two of them immediately looked like grasshoppers on a rope. Han Qing looked at the lower end of the rope, Murong Bai who was trying to grab the rope, hooked his thin lips, and laughed: "Why did General Mu just say that he is not afraid of death, and now he is catching me!" What does the rope do?"

"Hwarang, you are so ruthless, you really want to teach me to feed the fish in the sea?" Murong Bai looked up at Han Qing on the upper part of the rope, complaining.

"My good Yulin, it's not that Hua Lang is ruthless, but that you are so ignorant, let me go obediently, and save you the pain of my sword."

Han Qing clamped the rope with both feet, turned and slid down, and beat Murong Bai face to face.

Because Murong Bai was in the lower section, he used his feet to eat the city wall, struggling to deal with it.

The two are on the same rope, fighting endlessly, and below is the sail of the merchant ship.

Murong Bai thought about it, he stepped on the city wall, and with the power of the waves, he cut the rope and grabbed the mast by himself.

Seeing that he boarded the merchant ship faster than herself, Han Qing felt anxious, and took advantage of the situation to wave towards the mast.

Murong Bai didn't expect Han Qing to come towards the mast regardless of the length of the rope, despite the huge gap, he couldn't help but gasp.

Han Qing's slender body was like a taut bow under the moon sky, and he shot towards the mast, but there was a big distance from the canvas, Murong Bai's heart immediately tightened.

Han Qing dangerously grabbed the edge of the canvas, took advantage of the opportunity to turn himself onto the mast, looked at Murong Bai on the top, and said triumphantly, "It's not that easy to trap me on the rope."

Murong Bai heaved a sigh of relief in his heart, and in an instant, his heart was full of anger, and he cursed bitterly: "Han Qing, you take yourself too seriously."

"Heh, I'm here for business, and I'm here to find trouble." Han Qing slid down the ship's plank along the mast, cut off the mast with a dagger, and said unkindly.
