On the mountain path, four fast horses kept galloping, especially the horse under the white shadow in the front, which was already frothing at the mouth.
"Sister, sister" Lei Wujie shouted from behind.
The white shadow in front seemed to hear it, and slowly stopped, turning to look at the three people behind.
"Sister, sister, wait a minute, I can't catch up," Lei Wujie shouted to Xiao Xiaohan in front.
"Huhu"
He was still panting while speaking, and Sikong Qianluo and Xiao Se beside him also slowed down.
"Sister, are you crazy?" Sikong Qianluo asked Xiao Se in a low voice.
"Xiao Han is not far away from going crazy." Xiao Se sighed secretly.
Xiao Xiaohan in front saw the three people slowing down, frowned slightly, and felt a slight anger rising in his heart, shouting: "Hurry up, we still have to hurry."
God knows how anxious she was. She knew the seriousness of the matter from the moment National Master Qi Tianchen appeared.
The three people in Xiao Se were slightly startled and looked at each other, "I'm angry!"
Xiao Se winked at Lei Wujie, who had a puzzled expression on his face.
"What are you doing? Your eyes feel uncomfortable?" Lei Wujie said.
"Yes, Xiao Se, if your eyes feel uncomfortable, do you need to tell your sister?" Sikong Qianluo also said.
Xiao Se also sighed at this time and slightly covered his face with his hands.
"Lei Wujie, Qianluo, Xiaohan are angry. If you don't go and calm them down, why are you still here?" Xiao Se said speechlessly.
"Yes," Lei Wujie said.
"Yes," Sikong Qianluo said.
Before the two of them could catch up, they saw that Xiao Xiaohan had already arrived in front of the three of them.
Xiao Xiaohan was the first to ask: "What's going on with you three?"
"Uh." The three of them looked at each other, Xiao Se coughed twice at Lei Wujie, and winked at Sikong Qianluo.
Lei Wujie and Sikong Qianluo looked at each other again and moved their lips.
"You say it first."
"You say it first."
Seeing that the two of them had not spoken for so long, Xiao Xiaohan said, "What's wrong?"
Sikong Qianluo glared at Lei Wujie, but Lei Wujie sighed in his heart and said, "Sister, Xiao Se's eyes are not feeling well and he said he needs to take a rest."
Xiao Xiaohan turned to look at Xiao Se, "You...I think you're fine."
At this moment, Sikong Qianluo secretly reached out and pinched the soft flesh of Xiao Se's waist.
"hiss"
Xiao Se took a deep breath and turned his head slightly to glance at Sikong Qianluo next to him.
"Are you... why are you crazy?" Xiao Xiaohan looked at Xiao Se and was shocked. Normally, she could tell what was going on at a glance, but now her heart was like a fire.
"Sister, looking at Xiao Se like this, why not find a place to rest for a while," Sikong Qianluo said.
"Then...okay" Xiao Xiaohan looked at Xiao Se's painful expression, and felt a little unbearable to continue walking. If he continued walking, something happened to Xiao Se on the way, and God knows what would happen to Beili.
"I'll go to the front and have a look. There's no place to rest."
After that, Xiao Xiaohan turned the reins and ran forward.
The remaining three people stared at Xiao Xiaohan who was walking away with big eyes and small eyes.
After a while, Xiao Xiaohan ran back and said to the three of them: "There is a tea shop not far away, go there to rest."
"Yeah" the three of them nodded unanimously.
The four of them soon saw a flag flying not far away with the word "tea" written on it. There were also two figures.
"We're here, let's go inside and have a rest." Xiao Xiaohan got off his horse, held the reins, and walked towards the tea shop. When he arrived in front of the tea shop, he was shocked.
"Elder brother, and Ruoyi, why are you here? Don't you have some things to deal with?" Xiao Xiaohan looked at the two people in front of him, Tang Lian and Ye Ruoyi.
Xiao Se nodded slightly to the two of them.
Lei Wujie said hello to Tang Lian, but he still said the same thing to Ye Ruoyi
"Long time no see."
When Xiao Xiaohan heard this, the corners of her mouth twitched slightly.
"It came out after it was processed," Tang Lian said with a smile.
"Yes, sister, we have just arrived," Ye Ruoyi said.
"Then... how about leaving in a while?" Xiao Xiaohan said.
"The road ahead is still so long. How much time will it take to sit down and drink a cup of tea?" A calm voice sounded, and everyone was stunned. They couldn't help but look in the direction where the voice came from, and saw only one person.
The young man in gray robe sat in front of the tea shop, closing his eyes and talking, but not looking at the crowd.
"Well, that makes sense." Xiao Se nodded. "Instead of rushing off in a hurry, why not drink a cup of tea and think carefully about what to do next."
"Everyone, please take a seat." The boy in cloth clothes nodded, but still closed his eyes. The boy in the tea shop immediately took the teapot and walked up.
Everyone looked puzzled when they saw it, but they saw that Xiao Se had already sat down.
"Drink tea? You don't feel any pain anymore?"
Now Xiao Xiaohan came to his senses and looked at Sikong Qianluo and Lei Wujie, then at Xiao Se. Only then did he realize that he had been deceived.
"Sister...Xiao Jie is wrong." Lei Wujie didn't see that Xiao Xiaohan was on the verge of breaking out, so he just sat next to her and said modestly.
"You..." Xiao Xiaohan saw Lei Wujie's sincere look and kept thinking silently in his heart, this is my mother's son, my sister's brother, and my brother.
"Sit tight" Xiao Xiaohan glanced at Lei Wujie.
"He can't see" Ye Ruoyi whispered to everyone.
"This girl is right, I am indeed blind." Ye Ruoyi said very quietly, but the boy still heard it, and couldn't help showing a surprised expression. The boy seemed to be aware of it, and continued, "Because the eyesight cannot
He knows things, so he has excellent hearing. He didn’t deliberately eavesdrop on the girl.”
"Ruoyi, sit down" Xiao Xiaohan said.
"Okay." Ye Ruoyi was wary and sat down slowly.
The atmosphere in the teahouse suddenly became tense. Sikong Qianluo clenched the spear in his hand. They had experienced many assassinations disguised as ordinary merchants in the past few days. Everyone looked around the teahouse.
Apart from them, there was only one other customer. She was a young woman with a delicate face. She was holding a long package, placed it on the table, and was sipping tea.
"Who is she?" Lei Wujie asked.
"She is my friend. I have been waiting for her for many years. When she came to see me, my tea shop should be closed." The commoner boy smiled and said softly.
Lei Wujie glanced at the woman and saw that the woman was slowly drinking tea, pretending not to hear him.
"Can't she hear?" Ye Ruoyi asked.
"Yes, I can't see it, and she can't hear it. She's deaf." The commoner boy gently tapped the ground with the bamboo pole he used to find his way, "But don't look at her talking, she can't hear it, but she can see it."
"Haha" Tang Lian suddenly sneered twice, "One can tell the position by listening to the wind, and the other can read lips, both of them are not ordinary people."
"Since you've come to the tea shop, let's have a cup of tea before leaving."
Lei Wujie picked up the teapot and poured a cup for Xiao Xiaohan. Xiao Xiaohan picked up the teacup and put it to his lips. At the same time, little Xiao Se next to him also picked up the teacup and put it to his lips.
"No," Ye Ruoyi said in shock, "Try the poison first."
Xiao Xiaohan shook his head lightly and took a sip of tea, "Good tea, Double Flags of Cloud and Mist. I think Ji Ruofeng took it from my house back then."
"Ji Ruofeng?" Lei Wujie's eyes lit up, "That's the Ji Ruofeng who rated the first-level and fourth realm? One of the most mysterious masters in the world."
"Good tea must be matched with good water. There is a spring nearby, named Xiya. It has only one tooth's eye and produces only one pot of water a day. The water quality is comparable to the Liansheng Spring in Qiulian Mountain. Good water goes with good tea.
Someone who knows tea." The blind young man smiled and suddenly stood up.
"It's been a long time since I've tasted the Double Flags of Cloud and Mist." Xiao Se said softly.
"Haha" Xiao Xiaohan smiled and looked at the blind boy, "Not much."
"Indeed, there isn't much left. I brought it out of the hall back then. Over the years, I have almost drank it. I just thought I would see you one day, so I left a pack for you." The blind boy said.
The three people were talking like this, but everyone was a little confused, as if they had known each other for a long time. The blind boy walked forward, and when he was almost in front of everyone, Tang Lian suddenly shouted: "Stop."
live."
The blind boy smiled slightly and stopped taking a step forward.
When it comes to Tingfeng's ability to argue, Tang Lian, who was born in the Tang clan, is equally proficient. He looked at the bamboo pole and shouted: "What is hidden in this bamboo pole?"
"What's hidden? Why don't you come and take a look?" The blind boy smiled and waved the bamboo pole in his hand.
Tang Lian took a step forward, and the silver light on the fingertips in his hand flashed, and he was in front of the young man in an instant. The young man swung the bamboo pole violently, and collided with the sharp blade in Tang Lian's hand. The bamboo pole was shattered in an instant, revealing the secret hidden inside.
things below.
A strange-looking knife, the blade is slender and elegant, and has a slight curve. Although it is a knife, it has the temperament of being as light and agile as a sword. Such a knife is rare in Beili, but it is not made out of curiosity.
The southern secret of the sword.
"What kind of knife is this? I've never seen it before," Lei Wujie said.
"Tachi?" Tang Lian asked doubtfully. This was a long sword that was only used by the warriors of Xuanying, an island country to the west. This was the first time he had seen it with his own eyes. He had only heard Tang Lianyue mention it before.
The blind boy with "good eyesight" smiled slightly and took a step back again without taking another step forward.
"What's your name?" Tang Lian asked.
The blind boy replied: "One name, with the character bamboo."
"Bamboo?" Tang Lian frowned, having never thought for a long time that there was such a person in the world.
Suddenly, the woman sitting next to them put down her tea cup, stood up, and walked towards them.
"Her name is Long Er." The blind boy said: "Don't think about it, except for the princess, we all know it well."
"Oh?" Lei Wujie became curious, "You know us very well?"
"I know who your father, mother, and sister are, but I can't tell you. But what I can say is that your father and mother were famous figures in Tianqi back then. Your sister Xue Yue Sword Immortal's swordsmanship was taught by King Jiangling."
The blind boy spoke slowly.
Lei Wujie was stunned at first. He knew why the young man in front of him didn't say anything, because he didn't dare. The daughter of King Jiangling was right in front of him.
But it is not very clear that his own sister's swordsmanship was taught by King Jiangling.
Xiao Xiaohan saw the puzzled look on Lei Wujie's face and immediately explained: "My father taught my sister the swordsmanship when she was a child, and she became a disciple of Li Changsheng when she grew up."
"What else do you have?" Lei Wujie continued to ask.
"I also know who you like." The blind boy smiled slightly.
"Don't talk about this anymore. It's fine as long as everyone knows it. There's no need to say it out loud." Lei Wujie waved his hands repeatedly.
"I know who you are." Tang Lian put away the fingertip blade and removed her murderous intent.
"Baixiaotang, what I said is right."
"Yes, we are indeed from Baixiaotang," the young man named "Zhu" said with a smile.
"I'm talking about you." Sikong Qianluo, who had been silent until now, finally spoke, but he said it to the deaf girl, "What are you staring at Xiao Se?"
Everyone looked together and realized that the deaf girl had been looking at Xiao Se, her eyes sharp and sharp!
"What do you want to do!" Tang Lian and Lei Wujie stood in front of Xiao Se.
The deaf girl suddenly opened her mouth, as if she wanted to speak.
Tang Lian frowned slightly and looked at the deaf girl in front of her. Although she stopped taking a step forward, her eyes were still sharp.
"Long time no see." The deaf woman's voice seemed to be forced out of her throat, sharp and hoarse, which made people feel goosebumps at first listen.
Xiao Se stood up, patted the shoulders of the two people in front of him, and said, "Don't worry, we are not enemies."
Tang Lian and Lei Wujie looked at each other, took a breath, and stepped aside.
But what he said next was a bit sarcastic, "Why have you become such a waste?"
Xiao Xiaohan patted Long Er's back and made a few gestures. Long Er turned to look at Xiao Se again.
"Yes, waste has the advantage of being waste."
Tang Lian and Lei Wujie were stunned. Good guy, you don't show mercy at all.
Xiao Se acted as if he hadn't heard anything. He stretched himself and said lazily: "Being a waste does have its advantages. When I was there, I couldn't feel the happiness I feel now."
"Let's not mention this. The hall master once ordered that Baixiao Hall cannot trace your whereabouts, so your whereabouts are also a secret in the omniscient Baixiao Hall. Just a month ago, the hall master suddenly sent a letter to the hall
Nei, let us come to help you." Zhu smiled and faced Tang Lian, "So friends, don't be nervous, we are not here to kill you."
"Sister Ji Xue, didn't you say anything?" Xiao Xiaohan suddenly asked.
"Young Hall Master said it," Zhu said.
"What?"
Zhu smiled slightly at Xiao Xiaohan and said nothing
Xiao Xiaohan frowned and clenched her palms slightly.
"Bai Xiaotang has never intervened in the grievances of the world, why are you helping us?" Tang Lian asked.
"It's true that we don't interfere, but the person next to you is our hall master's only disciple," Zhu said slowly.
Lei Wujie said in surprise: "A master like Ji Ruofeng, is it you who is Xiao Se, your former master? That's incredible. Everything in the world is the business of Baixiaotang. No wonder you know everything, Xiaose. It turns out you were born in Baixiao Hall."
Tang?"
"Baixiao Hall cannot suppress this great god. He has a master-disciple relationship with the hall master, but he has no relationship with Baixiaotang," Zhu said.
"Can I ask a question?" Ye Ruoyi asked.
"Daughter of the general, I know you in Tianqi." Zhu nodded slightly and revealed Ye Ruoyi's identity in one breath, "But the girl has never seen me."
"Bai Xiaotang is good at hiding his whereabouts. It's not surprising that I haven't seen you." Ye Ruoyi nodded.
"What do you want to ask, girl?" Zhu said.
"Why are the people from the underground river attacking us?" Ye Ruoyi asked neatly.
"Because there is a distinguished person who has reached an agreement with Anhe, and the content of it is to kill you," Zhu said slowly.
"Is he the Red King or the White King?" Xiao Xiaohan suddenly spoke and said.
"Sorry, Princess, I can't say this." Zhu shook his head slightly.
"I know." Xiao Xiaohan did not go into details. She knew that her father must know. She would ask when she got home.
Ye Ruoyi continued to ask: "How many waves of killers are lurking ahead? How can we get to Leijiabao within five days?"
"There are no killers ahead. Keep going and you can reach Leijiabao," Zhu said firmly.
Everyone was stunned and looked at each other, seeing the disbelief in each other's eyes.
"What Miss Ye asked is actually a question that we cannot answer. To put it bluntly, Baixiaotang is just a few spies. There are several waves of killers in front of us. It is impossible for us to know these things. As for how you can get to Leijiabao within five days,
That's your business. We have no way of knowing." Zhu seemed to sense everyone's confusion and continued.
"Then why did you say those words just now?" Ye Ruoyi asked confused.
"Because." Zhu suddenly pulled out the long knife from his waist again, "We are here. Just keep moving forward, and leave the rest to us."
"But you just said that you are just a spy of Baixiaotang," Ye Ruoyi said.
When Zhu pulled out the knife, the expression on his face had already changed. Suddenly, his elegant and indifferent face turned murderous. He smiled and said: "A blind man and a deaf man cannot be the best spies.
So I can only do it as a substitute and also make Bai Xiaotang's knives."
"These words quite rhyme." Xiao Se shrugged, walked forward and patted Zhu's shoulder, saying like a rogue, "Then I'll leave it to you."
Long Er still stared at Xiao Se with an unspeakable anger in his eyes.
"Now someone has mentioned that we are blocking the underground river. Let's go quickly." Xiao Xiaohan shouted to everyone.
When everyone took a look, Xiao Xiaohan was already sitting on the horse.
"Then let's go," Xiao Se said again.
"Yeah" Zhu nodded.
But when Xiao Xiaohan saw Lei Wujie turning around and walking into the tea shop, he scolded: "What else do you want to get?"
"Hehe" Lei Wujie turned to look at Xiao Xiaohan and smiled awkwardly, "Sister, there are some steamed buns there, it would be a pity not to take them."
Hearing this, Xiao Xiaohan had a dark look on his face, "Come up and eat when you get home."
Lei Wujie looked at Xiao Xiaohan, whose face had darkened. His heart trembled, and he immediately ran to the horse's side and got on the horse.
Sikong Qianluo and Tang Lian couldn't help but smile inwardly when they saw it.
Ye Ruoyi walked at the end and asked Zhu the last question: "What price do you have to pay for the question I asked you that you can't answer?"
Long Er was the first to answer, making her hoarse voice and answering word for word: "What do you think the prince wants him to become?"
"By the way," Zhu suddenly said, "The prince asked me to pass a message to you, girl."
Ye Ruoyi's eyes narrowed at this time and her expression became serious.
"After the Heroes' Banquet, the girl will go back to Tianqi with the princess. When King Yong'an steps into Tianqi, that's when the real beginning will begin."
At this time, in Tianqi City.
Gangneung Prince's Mansion.
Xiao Ruoyu sat on the stone bench in the garden, looking down at the three glasses of wine on the stone table with a thoughtful expression.
Suddenly Xiao Ruoyu slowly raised his head, looked at the entrance of the garden, and raised the corners of his mouth slightly, "You are finally here. I have been waiting for you for a long time, brother."
