Cao Xiwan drew his sword. Under the plain crescent moon, the swords clashed, but the two girls disappeared in the sky above the imperial mausoleum.
Lou Xiliu was shocked and looked around in the moonlight, but could not see anyone.
Xiao Zhao was also surprised: "It's gone!"
A flash occurred in Xiliu's mind, and she quickly turned her head and looked at Liu Ruhai on the green slope.
He stood with his hands behind his hands, staring in the direction of the pine forest and sea beside the imperial mausoleum.
She then looked around, and then she saw the tops of the trees in the sea of pines, which were like the infinite green sea. Looking under the moon, there were silver waves and blue waves. Cao was walking on the tops of the trees in the sea of songs at night, as if he were strolling in a leisurely courtyard, coming from the Moon Palace.
Come.
Her figure was far and near, left and right, seemed to be in front of her eyes, and then disappeared into the distance.
Lou Xiliu thought blankly, this is... is this the Nine Nether Eight Lotus Body of Lady Qing that Xiao Zhao said?
But is this just the Eight Lotus Body?
If she were Qing Niangzi's opponent, she should be so nervous that she would pounce on her, cut through the phantom of the lotus body with a knife, find the real Qing Niangzi, and eliminate her with all her strength.
But she is not Shi Mingniang.
Shi Mingniang stood in the middle of the green waves of the silver waves, like a small boat in the sea. She remained motionless despite the waves coming and going.
Cao Xiwan walked in the moonlit sea of trees and felt a little tired. The arrival of the Nine Nether Eight Lotus Body was very draining on her internal energy. Shi Mingniang didn't seem to be confused by her countless clones.
She had a decisive battle with Shi Mingniang tonight, but she didn't win over Bizhu. Bizhu's stamina was too great. She was very cautious.
Now, she relies on hot spring medicinal baths to temporarily recover a lot. In addition, the terrain surrounding the imperial mausoleum.
Shi Mingniang chose this place because her master Bai Shi was nearby.
And she, the Qingluo female ghost, agreed to fight here because she guessed that the Bai family was the old palace servant in the palace, and she had been looking for her.
She once gave Chen Ming the old medicine prescription given to her by Mrs. Bai. After discussing with Chen Ming, she deduced that the people from Palace Bai must be guarding the imperial mausoleum in the palace, in the deep forest of Zhongshan Mountain, and near the hot springs.
The reason why the old palace people have lived here for a long time is naturally due to the topography, hot springs, and natural medicinal materials near the imperial mausoleum, which can allow a gray-haired and elderly disabled person to protect himself.
"Really? Then I will enter the palace." She discussed with Chen Ming, "Mrs. Bai, she used to like me very much. I will ask her if there is any way to help me. I used to think that she
She probably knows how to protect herself better than others. She knows how to memorize a lot of medical books."
"...Are you preventing her from helping Shi Mingniang kill you?"
"How is it possible? I am poor Xiao Cao. As long as I cry, Xiao Shi will fall out of favor."
Chen Ming, who is already married, still remembers the clearing of the Qinhuai River many years ago, the painting of the singing boat, and the blind female piano player Madam Bai in the boat.
Because Cao Xiwan often mentioned this woman with mysterious origins back then.
Many years ago, she returned from the heavy snow in Yanjing City all the way back. She followed Song Chengming by boat back to Nankang Hou Mansion in Jinling, and became a servant of the Hou Mansion and the daughter of the yamen, and she met Chen Qianhu.
His nephew Chen Ming.
Chen Ming was still a fat man at that time. He had just left Master Poison Master and returned to join his clan. Poor Xiao Cao and poor Xiao Chen looked at each other. Because they were both Jinyi disciples and were arranged to practice in a group, they would practice in Qian from time to time.
They were playing in the government office. From time to time, the two of them could hear the superiors talking about how they saw the best swordsman in the world, Lord Feng Dao, while patrolling the streets in the city.
This expert likes to go fishing by the Qinhuai River, wearing a raincoat and fishing under the moonlight.
"There's a problem. This man stayed up late at night fishing? Is he secretly colluding with the rebels?"
Xiao Cao had doubts with Chen Ming privately. Xiao Cao thought to himself, she loves to sleep, how could there be someone who doesn't like to sleep?
Practicing during the day was too hard. Her only dream was to fall down and sleep. She couldn't understand Feng Daojun who stayed up in the middle of the night.
She was very vigilant and wanted to make a big contribution, so she discussed important matters with Xiao Chen in private.
Xiao Chen immediately understood that she felt that practicing was too hard and wanted to sneak out and play.
Xiao Chen was different from her. He always practiced Qigong in the Yamen for three days fishing and two days drying nets. He immediately agreed with both hands and used drugs to teach her how to disguise herself and even change her voice.
She felt that she wanted to handle a big case, and she definitely didn't want to sneak out to play and let the young master down. She learned a lot from the young master.
Xiao Cao, a female fan, secretly found a good friend, Liancheng, a little book boy in Qianhusuo, and bribed him by giving him delicious fruits from the two old ladies' rooms, and asked him to help find a clerk to help her memorize a yamen
Asking for leave for a business trip, in this case, Xiaofanzi's monthly salary of several dozen cents must be paid. Otherwise, she will have to reach out to her annoying parents to ask for money to eat. She won't do it.
She went to the old lady's room again and begged the little girl Liu Ying to let her protect her so that her annoying parents would not come looking for her.
Finally, she and Xiuyun agreed on a fair fight, and they had a fight, but Xiuyun lost. Lu Xiuyun felt aggrieved and took her to his home, asking Father Lu to fulfill the bet that his daughter had failed miserably.
Father Lu listened to her gesture for a long time and said that he wanted to monitor the world's number one sword.
"You are not afraid?"
"I'm very powerful. I can cry and roll. I can also shout if there is a kidnapper or kidnapper, please help me!" She boasted about her skills.
Father Lu didn't nod.
Cao Xiwan thought for a while, then suddenly drew his sword and cut off a few hairs on Father Lu's forehead.
"I have a small soft sword that the young master gave me. I carry it with me."
Father Lu looked at her in shock, her hands were empty, and he didn't see how the little girl drew the sword. Lu Xiuyun jumped up and cheered next to her. Feng Xiaochu peeked in the room, looking weird: "What's the big deal?
"
Father Lu nodded: "After you get on the boat, you can't get off the boat. If you get off the boat, I will pick you up."
"Okay." She nodded quickly and flattered Father Lu by giving him a delicious fruit. Father Lu smiled and turned around to ask Xiao Chu, "Would you like to eat it?"
She was furious, ran up to fight with Feng Xiaochu, and shouted loudly: "Xiuyun! Eat the fruit quickly!"
Lu Xiuyun rushed up and helped her fight. Dad Lu pulled one and then the other, watching the three little girls fighting so hard that he had a headache.
Chen Ming was holding the fruit next to him, crying: "Don't fight, don't fight - Xiao Chu -"
Later, Cao Xiwan recalled his childhood memories and secretly cursed Chen Ming, a traitor.
Why didn't she see it then? Chen Ming liked Feng Xiaochu! Traitor! When the fruit disappeared, she didn't care and thought Xiao Chu had stolen it. Later she realized that Chen Ming had picked it up and hid it and gave it to Feng secretly.
Xiaochu!
Father Lu took her and sold her to a song boat where she worked as a little girl for a year. Father Lu had just returned from the border at that time. Because he had a relationship with the Marquis's Mansion, he had led horses under the old Marquis' command, so he relied on the Marquis' Mansion.
Got a mission.
Every day at the Qinhuai River embankment, he patrols the river to save drowning people. He is considered a water ghost messenger.
He would patrol the boat and pass by the singing boat every day. She would run out and say hello to Father Lu, saying that she was lurking every day, spying on Feng Ling, who never came to listen to the singing.
Because Xiao Cao followed the young master in the Yamen and was well-informed, he felt that men who went out in the middle of the night were either plotting rebellion or eating wine and listening to music.
She couldn't understand the middle-aged man's enjoyment of fishing. She felt that the rebels would definitely come because the place where he fished was very close to the song boat. She said to Dad Lu: "I want to make a contribution! The young master will be happy, so I can
No need to practice anymore. You can sleep in every day."
Later, when she grew up, Father Lu said: "Perhaps you shouldn't be allowed to go to that kind of place...even though the capital of the Hebo Institute is in it..."
But Cao Xiwan played on the boat for more than half a month before Song Chengming discovered that she had escaped and took her back.
She felt so happy. Every day on the ship she only had to sweep the floor and wipe the tables, serve tea and water, and wash clothes. The ship owner's mother scolded her, but she turned around and made her mother fall and break her leg. She was very happy.
She doesn't have to practice hard at all. Moreover, she can still lurk outside Master Bai's window in the middle of the night and listen to her and Shi Mingniang talking about how to sing with luck.
Huh? Isn't Master Bai Qin a spy, here to contact Feng Daojun? She is lurking, vowing to uncover this shocking case.
Song Chengming took her back and heard her tell Master Bai about the lucky singing method: "Young Master, this must be a code word for rebelling!"
