Familiar footsteps were mixed with anxiety. Chu Tao's figure appeared in the corridor at the entrance of the courtyard.

"Be careful!" Xie Junhe shouted, but he saw a willow-leaf flying knife running towards Chu Tao like lightning. Chu Tao's clothes were flying like flying clouds, and the flying knife was entering his palm. He tried to lift it again

As soon as I took a step, I saw Konoha flying up, arms spread out like flying wings, climbing up the eaves, and heading towards the high eaves outside the courtyard.

Chu Tao gently raised his sleeves, and the willow leaf dart passed by the hem of Konoha's clothes, leaving a sharp crack in the white tunic.

The moment Konoha hesitated, Chu Tao's Long Ming Sword had already pressed forward tightly, "Chasing the Wind and Chasing Feathers". This agility was unparalleled. Even Konoha was shocked and had to turn around to fight. For a moment, Konoha was shocked.

The sword light shot out in all directions, exploding like lightning and flint.

Flying, entangled, breaking free, and colliding, like two geese soaring in the sky. In an instant, the sword in Chu Tao's hand seemed to wipe out a sword cloud, with a domineering aura that enveloped everything. The rising dust was all wiped out.

The sword light stirred into the shape of clouds, "flying in the sky and eclipsing the sun". Konoha flew back and hid, but could not avoid the sharp sword light. The white clothes on his shoulders tore, and blood burst out.

The blade of Long Ming Sword was also stained with bright blood.

Konoha staggered a few steps on the tall eaves before finally stopping. The corner of his mouth was cut with a bloody line by a sharp blade at some unknown time, and that beautiful face was like a blood-stained white rose. The blood was proudly displayed, accompanied by

He smiled sadly, as if he was admitting defeat.

Chu Tao was about to give the last sword and decide the outcome. Unexpectedly, Konoha suddenly raised his sword, like a strong wind rising from the ground, shaking the tiles on the roof and rattling, forcing Chu Tao to

Tao retreated more than ten steps and still couldn't find a foothold, so he had no choice but to jump off the courtyard wall. Xie Junhe's heart tightened, wasn't this the same move that Jiang Shaoyun used to hurt Chu Tao in Fenghuo Ridge?

"Catch him!" People outside the courtyard shouted slogans to capture Konoha, but what about Konoha?

Against the background of the dark night, he was like a light feather, passing by in the wind and missing. Only the fragrance of purple ylang stamens filling the courtyard confirmed that he had been there. This was not a dream.

Chu Tao stared at the direction he was leaving and was stunned for a long time. Then he suddenly remembered something and looked back to see Xie Junhe already standing behind him.

"I came a little late. By the time I remembered the theater, a place that could hide the smell of makeup, it was still too late. It's too incredible. There can be such a killer in the world, hiding in plain sight - why don't you repay me?" Although

Knowing that most of the time Xie Junhe wanted Le Diandian to carry Konoha to repay him for the fruits of his victory, he could not help but be dissatisfied with his rash risk.

Xie Junhe hesitated for a moment, chuckled, and retorted: "I deserve it, okay?"

"What's wrong?" Chu Tao suddenly couldn't understand where his nameless fire came from. He slapped his shoulders twice and mocked, "Are you not happy that you accidentally suffered a plot by Konoha and lost face?"

"It's always been like this!" He said a harsh word without hesitation, then whistled and stepped out of the yard. His arrogant look clearly meant to provoke Chu Tao's displeasure.

"Hey! Don't go too far!" Chu Tao smiled more and more puzzledly. The one who came to save the situation was not as cruel as the one being saved. This is really unreasonable. But I am used to it. I can't expect to talk to the ruffian.

A short middle-aged man was thrown at Chu Tao's feet by Wang Hong, crying for mercy: "Master Chu, it's none of my business, Master Chu!"

"how?"

"Our troupe goes around the streets and alleys every day just to sing, and many of the people we hire are also called in at short notice. A few days ago, I saw this young man at the dock. He was handsome, knew a few lyrics, and was very honest and friendly. He didn't say anything.

...I didn’t think much about it at all! How could I have imagined that he would be a killer!”

Seeing that the troupe leader was shaking with fright, Chu Tao smiled, bowed and helped him up, and offered a few words of relief to reassure him that he didn't need to worry.

He turned around to let Wang Hong ask about the origin of Konoha, then turned to Jun He and said: "Stop making such an ugly face, you can also go to the dock to ask questions tomorrow."

But there was a more important question lingering in Xie Junhe's mind. Once it came to mind, it could not be eliminated. He really wanted to shout at Chu Tao: "That's right, I have never been happy in ten years!" Viper-like purple

The fragrance of ylang-ylang exposed his deepest fear, making him tremble constantly: Susu, the pipa girl deep in the wine alley in the past, where is she now?

"Jun and brother, save me! Jun and brother!" A distant and sad call came across time and space. After closing my eyes, I could only see the half-hidden woman in the wine alley still holding a pipa - a plain-faced beauty, timidly lowering her head.

, smiling beautifully in sadness.

A palm gently rested on his shoulder. Looking back, the familiar gaze, firm and somewhat soft, fell on his heart, and his resentment softened by half in the blink of an eye. Chu Tao caught up with him, but nothing happened.

She didn't say anything, but just followed him silently, always keeping half a step away from him. The moonlight outside the courtyard was cold, and the scenes in the wine alley back then were faintly reflected in my heart, sandwiched with the cold spring and deep regret.

He almost wanted to speak, but finally held back.

Chu Tao shook his head lightly at him and smiled melodiously, as if to indicate that he didn't need to say anything more.

Two long shadows walked side by side under the moon, leaving a group of swordsmen behind in full view of everyone. What's wrong with just walking quietly like this? He has been here like this for the past ten years.

However, the strength on his shoulders suddenly increased. The steps behind him also slowed down. Looking back in confusion, he was surprised to see that Chu Tao's face was already a grayish color, his lips were all gray and there was no blood at all. Only his eyes were still bright.

Light - like the stars in the dark night. I turned around to help, but it touched a hand that was so cold that it was almost lifeless.

"You..." Xie Junhe was shocked.

"Be silent...give me a leg..." He steadied himself and continued to move forward as if nothing had happened.

However, with every step he took, Xie Junhe could feel the weight on his shoulders getting heavier. He frowned tightly, and he couldn't bear to look at it. "Stop holding on... this..."

"Old injury, it's okay..." He tried his best to steady his low tone and suppress his heavy and rapid breathing.

It's not that it's nothing, but something serious. My heart seems to have hit rock bottom. I grabbed his arm and touched his pulse. It was so chaotic that it was nothing, mixed with waves of tremors caused by pain. How could this happen? My heart suddenly jumped.

Following the chaos, I felt like my throat was blocked by something: "Fenghuo Ridge? Or Konoha?"

Chu Tao only raised his eyebrows slightly: "The escort agency is not far from here... Are you stingy about helping me for a while?"

"Don't be too careless!" He held back his anger and did not dare to shout. He, Xie Junhe, had exclusive rights to being careless. How could he be taken away by Chu Tao, who had always acted thoughtfully? Is he crazy? He could be hurt at any time.

You are going to fall down, but you still pretend to be fine?

The only reason for keeping silent is Konoha: maybe he is still around here, and Chu Tao must not let him or Jiang Shaoyun take advantage of it. He survived one street intersection after another, and stepped out cautiously, which usually would not take more than a moment and a half.

Xie Junhe was sweating profusely as he walked the road.

Chu Tao said in a deep voice: "The last sword... did you see it clearly? Huagurou... the most pinnacle move of the Lihua Sword School, no one can break it... Remember to avoid it next time... His skill is not as good as

Jiang Shaoyun is half the person, luckily..." His voice was much lower than usual, with a calmness under pressure. Every word he spoke was like a battle. The voice that could crush the night almost tore Xie Junhe's heart.

"Stop talking, I know." He understood that Chu Tao never gave him unnecessary reminders.

A familiar person came to greet him politely. Chu Tao's smile remained unchanged on his face, and he nodded as usual. Xie Junhe couldn't take it easy and just buried his head deeply in the haze.

Middle - It seemed that people were used to the black cloud on his face and didn't care at all. Perhaps because of the darkness of the night, no one noticed that Chu Tao was injured.

However, when he stepped into the gate of the Escort Bureau and reached a deserted place, he suddenly fell like a jade mountain. Xie Junhe tried his best to support his falling body. With violent convulsions, blood flowed out like a fountain.

Sprayed out from his mouth, and in an instant the ground was covered in black and purple.

Xie Junhe was stunned for a moment: "Hey! Don't scare me!"

No matter how he was shaken, Chu Tao, who had been joking with others as if nothing had happened just now, had his eyes closed tightly, his face was ashen, and he was no longer able to respond. The cold, damp air condensed into a death-like frozen mist on his hands.

, sucking in the remaining heat in his body. In a short while, I'm afraid there will be no life left.
