It was still bright, and people in the front yard of Shen's mansion were still immersed in sleep. The eldest son from the neighbor's house, who was unknown, fluttered his wings, stood on the protruding low wall, and raised his voice, "Oh oh——" The ground screamed. It was not yet sunrise, so the sleeping people just took a nap and then turned around and fell asleep again.
But the generals in the backyard were different. They stayed up all night last night and managed to stay up until dawn. Then they squinted their eyes and nodded lightly. As soon as snoring started to sound in the courtyard, they were accidentally knocked by the big rooster. interrupt.
Shen Xuanming rubbed his eyes and was the first to sit up. He saw the breeze in the night blowing several pieces of tissue paper to the ground. He quickly picked them up one after another from left to right. He counted them carefully, no more, no less, and then put them down. Confused. When he saw Dou Jie lying next to him, his head hanging down, his neck almost twisted at a strange angle, he quickly pushed him: "General Dou, wake up."
When Dou Jie heard the sound, he stood up, with his messy hair hanging loosely on top of his head like a chicken coop. As soon as he raised his head, he felt a pain in his neck. He quickly raised his head with a "click" and then twisted his muscles back. When he opened his eyes, Xuan Ming No matter how hard he worked, he couldn't hide his eyes, which were like a Pixiu animal with two circles of blue and black marks on them. He didn't know where the pressure was on his forehead, leaving a very conspicuous red spot the size of a copper coin.
The two looked at each other, blinked, and couldn't help laughing silently.
These days, it is no longer a secret that the generals gather in the backyard of General Shen's Mansion. In the past half year, everyone at the West Lake Court Meeting has tacitly understood it, and the General's Mansion and Tiankeju have been blatantly divided into two in front of the head. Most of those who sided with Tiankeju were senior leaders or seniors with deep-rooted sects. They relied on their sects to play a decisive role in the West Lake and almost blatantly tried to squeeze the General's Mansion out of the court meeting. .
On the other hand, how can the generals be vegetarians? Although the general's mansion is not as good as the fixed sect inheritance in the sect, they all have real swords and guns, and the flesh-and-blood friendship forged in the arena, coupled with these years If you have the favor of the master, how can you be willing to live under his heavenly guest?
Especially those "seniors" who are so old that they can hardly open their eyes and are full of teeth. When they talk, they talk about how the inheritance of Tianke Jushi sect has been to the past dynasties of West Lake, and how each sect has been loyal to the master since Emperor Wenkang. , hearing that the General Mansion was filled with anger, he turned around and mentioned the incident of Tian Keju secretly killing people and being sued in the street.
After this back and forth, the conflict between the two factions in West Lake was no longer a secret war of words, but evolved into a life-and-death dispute in the open.
Ever since Qingqing disappeared that night in the teahouse, Xuan Ming was in a hurry but couldn't think of a solution. She was afraid that Qingqing would be taken away by Tian Keju and suffer the legendary Mr. An unspeakable punishment. It’s just helpless that Qing Qing is the descendant of Linghu who he secretly harbored. How could Xuan Ming have such courage to ask Head Wen to help find him?
Not to mention that today's disciples who are living as guests turn around and leave when they see the generals. It is extremely difficult to ask for a word.
Having said that, the generals in Miyu West Lake have nothing but the word "loyalty". Everyone looked at each other with Linghu Qingqing, and Qingqing came up with many ideas behind the generals' backs. This time Missing, regardless of whether she was a disciple of Dongshan or someone else, how could the generals stand by and watch? First, they used their old tricks in secret to sneak into Tianke's residence, and gradually changed to blocking the door and robbing people in broad daylight - using both soft and hard tactics, but nothing was achieved.
However, this angered some of the hot-blooded disciples of Tiankeju. They ignored the etiquette of the master and shouted at the top of their lungs:
"You have lost someone in the General's Mansion, how can you blame us Tiankeju? If you have the ability, go back to Lirong Mountain to look for him!"
This shout made several generals no longer dare to be in the limelight because of this.
Without Qing Qing, the General Mansion suddenly lost its most direct source of information. Previously, Qing Qing was familiar with the behavior of Mr. Ruo and others, so Qi Shi and Xuan Ming were able to get in front of Tian Ke Ju every time they made a move.
And in the short half year from winter to spring, Tiankeju seemed to have seen through every move of the General's Mansion in advance - the missing roster had been changed to look like a trap, waiting for several generals to take turns jumping into it.
.
As a result, everyone in the General's Mansion suffered a lot one after another.
Xuan Ming rubbed his eyes, took a deep breath, and forced himself to wake up. Tonight is the impromptu meeting held by the leader. In addition to the West Lake Sect, all the disciples and masters who have been conquered from all over the world are also coming to pay homage. It can be said that,
The winner is the king and the loser is tonight.
Although it is not foolproof, everyone in the General's Mansion has done their best to prepare. The rest depends on God's will.
While they were lost in thought, Xuan Ming and Dou Jie got up and wanted to wake up the others. But at this moment, five familiar knocks on the door came from outside the door:
"Ta-ta, tap-ta, tap."
who is it?!
This rhythm was the secret code that the generals had gathered together in the middle of the night to discuss. In order to prevent others from hearing it, Qing Qing also asked the generals to remember the priority of each move to ensure that it was foolproof. Xuan Ming looked around and saw the people who came here last night.
Twelve generals, seven men and five women, one more.
So now, who is knocking anxiously outside the door?
Hearing this incredible sound, the other generals also woke up one by one. Xuan Ming and Dou Jie looked at each other, gestured to the others, then quietly opened the door latch and entered quietly.
forecourt.
The others found suitable positions in the backyard, and as soon as the two of them gave the order, they rushed outside as fast as lightning.
The two guards who were on duty last night had also arrived at the door. When they saw the two generals coming, they bowed their heads and saluted. The long period of vigilance at night had made the guards form a habit of never leaving their armor and doing things silently. Xuan Ming lowered his voice and asked
road:
"Can you see who is outside?"
"It seems to be a woman... bleeding a lot."
Oops! No matter who it is, the bloodstains along the way remain outside the General's Mansion. At dawn, the screams of the neighbors are indispensable. Xuan Ming held his chin and forced himself to think as fast as possible: What if the people outside were released?
When people came in, the blood stains extended to the inside of the door. I'm afraid... before he could come up with an idea, the people outside seemed to have heard the conversation inside the door and leaned heavily against the door:
"General Shen, it's me!"
It's Linghu Qingqing!
Xuan Ming's eyes widened, and he looked at Dou Jie. Both of them looked in disbelief. In a daze, Xuan Ming froze on the spot, and then finally came back to his senses:
"Open the door!"
"No!" Dou Jie's voice was low, but he suddenly grabbed Xuan Ming's arm with great force. Seeing Xuan Ming looking over with a frown, General Dou couldn't help but shook his head: "General Shen, if Young Master Linghu is really
She was taken away by Tian Keju. It’s hard to tell who she is now..." Xuan Ming threw his arm away and said loudly: "Open the door!"
The moment the door of the General's Mansion creaked open, the neighbor's big rooster stood on the low wall again, stretched its neck, and cried out to the sky, "Oh!", full of energy and very loud.
Strong. But Qingqing didn't even have the strength to lift her legs and take a step. The instep of her feet suddenly hit the door frame, and then she closed her eyes and fell to the ground.
"Such a tenacious vitality... After suffering such a serious injury, if it were an ordinary person, he would not be dead, but he would not be able to stand up."
"Who was so cruel?"
"Hush! The young hero can't wake up yet." The one who spoke at this time was a female general from a family with medical skills among the people. "Let the young hero lie quietly for a while. Do you have anything to ask?
It's not too late to come back from the morning meeting."
"Then..." Qiu'er couldn't help but ask, "When will the young hero wake up?"
"It won't be until tomorrow morning at the earliest."
Qiu'er held her waist with her hands and let out a long sigh. Qingqing didn't know where he was for so long. When he asked Xuan Ming, he just kept silent, saying that it was dangerous to go out and he would inevitably have to go out for a long time.
.I didn’t expect that when I suddenly came back this early in the morning, I would be so bruised and bruised.
Except for her wedding night, Qiu'er had never seen a person shed so much blood. Qingqing's arms and lower abdomen were poked with four or five holes, and the bright red blood was like a stream.
The ground flowed out. Perhaps due to a fall while running, Qingqing's leg was directly scratched with a large amount of flesh, and the gloomy white bones could be seen on his calf.
The blood clots vomited out of his mouth were all over his body. He collapsed at the door this morning, still vomiting blood.
Xuan Ming was afraid that she was pregnant and couldn't bear to see such a scene, so he couldn't help but reach out and cover her eyes. But although Qiu'er was scared, she still couldn't bear to leave Qingqing's side and kept staring at her pale face: She couldn't figure it out, obviously
How could Young Master Linghu, who was joking with himself and making medicinal soup for himself every day, close his eyes tightly and look like he was dying in the blink of an eye?
Qiu'er pouted and tears fell down her cheeks: "It's too scary for the headmaster to live with Tian Ke."
"General Tao..." It was Xuan Ming who asked, "Qing Qing, will she be okay?"
"It's a bit strange." The female general named Tao frowned, "Young hero Linghu seems to have been poisoned by some unknown poison before, and the general can't get rid of it yet... In addition, the young hero has too many old injuries.
It's too heavy, I'm afraid it will be difficult to wake up for a while. Fortunately, the young hero's vitality is so tenacious, as long as the poisonous hair is temporarily controlled, there will be no fear of life..."
Vaguely, Qingqing heard someone talking in her ears. Those people were calling her name, but she tried to open her eyes, only to find that there was darkness all around. It seemed that no matter how hard she groped, she couldn't find it.
to the way out.
Qing Qing felt his palms burning with fire. When he lowered his head, he saw a bow and arrow in his hand.
This is the unique silver feather arrow of General Xihu. Apart from the broken beast fan, only this silver feather arrow can show the identity of the generals. But why did he have this silver bow in his hand? Qingqing noticed it before he thought about it carefully.
Reaching the unique temperature on this bowstring——
This is the silver bow left by my brother Kong Yuechuan.
As if to answer Qing Qing's question, the bowstring clanged and immediately trembled violently in Qing Qing's hand. Qing Qing understood that this was the bow that was craving for arrows, just like the generals who were craving for meritorious deeds and exile.
EMI's battlefield. Without thinking, Qingqing took out an arrow from his back, and the word "Yuechuan" was indeed engraved on it.
This is the relic left by his brother to him. Where is this arrow going to be shot? Qingqing faced the darkness in front of him again, but found that where the tip of the arrow pointed, a large area of the street was illuminated with a bang.
lane.
There are people coming and going in this place. If you release an arrow, you will hurt someone! Before he could hesitate, Qingqing realized that his arm seemed to be held by someone. He struggled hard but remained motionless. He didn’t know who was holding it.
He closed his eyes and looked toward the center surrounded by the crowd——
In the commotion, there was a tall horse with snow-white fur. The general on it had a childish face and was very young. He was wearing a red flower on his head, accepting the congratulations of the crowd. Girls from every household came out like a tide, pushing their way to the front of the crowd, chasing the white horse.
, chirping and laughing non-stop.
And his arrow was pointed directly at the person on the white horse.
No! Qingqing was in a hurry to escape, but found that her arms were extremely strong and she was steadily aiming at the head under the red flowers. Just before the bowstring sounded, the person on the horse suddenly turned around and met Qingqing's eyes.
