Although he knew that the bluestone bridge under his feet was extremely strong and had withstood the test of many years, when he stood on it, the coolness under his feet still rushed into Mu Qing's heart involuntarily.

The canyon is a hundred feet high, and the carved stone walls stand out in the surging water mist. The stone bridge protrudes from both sides and hangs on the cliff. Next to it is a cliff standing thousands of feet tall. At your feet are the rapids of the golden waves. The sun shines on the bridge, and the water When the mist evaporates and spreads, it's like ascending a natural chasm or passing through a fairy pass.

"This is Qingchuan."

On the bluestone bridge, Liu Weirui and Mu Qing led their horses side by side.

She introduced the scenery of her hometown seriously: "It's all green, sky blue, and golden waves. The waves let the sunlight roll over the building, and the smokey scenery floats in the sky." I remember there is an inn called "Dangguan" in the town. Lou, there is such a topic by the window."

Mu Qing looked down at the thick golden waves and said in surprise: "Is it because of the sunlight? I have never seen such a pure color."

The corners of Liu Weirui's rosy mouth curled up, and she looked at Qingchuan at her feet and recalled: "I remember following my father on my first trip when I was a child. When we passed by Qingchuan, I waited for it to turn golden before putting it in a water bag. , I thought it was gold and could buy a lot of snacks, but as soon as the water left Qingchuan, it returned to its original transparent color."

Mu Qing raised his eyebrows and guessed: "Could it be that the water bag blocks the sunlight? It will turn golden as long as it is in the sunlight?"

Liu Weirui shook her head and said, "No, later I poured the water in the water bag beside the river, but its color still didn't change back. It's strange."

"Yes. I also remember what the lady said!"

Xiaochan, who was just a few steps behind the two of them, said with a smile: "The young lady and I sneaked out at that time. Mr. Mu Qing, you will never imagine what happened next."

Mu Qing liked the atmosphere of chatting among friends very much, and asked with a smile: "As long as the sun shines on it for a long time, the water will change color again."

"No!" Xiaochan looked at her young lady and did not stop her, so she continued: "My lady's nosebleed continued after playing in the water, and after washing it with water, the blood turned into another color."

"What color?" Mu Qing asked in surprise.

"A cyan color that's somewhere between glass and amber." Liu Weirui didn't think there was anything wrong with it, and guessed, "Maybe that color will appear as long as it's mixed with blood."

After chatting for only a moment, when everyone stepped onto the cliff here, the town of Qingchuan Pass, directly named after "Qingchuan Pass", was already in sight.

At this time, in the lobby of Dangguan Inn, brothers Zhang Zizhen and Zhang Zishan were also waiting for their Qingming Apricot Blossom Shake.

"Beep-ah-"

"This wine is delicious!" Zhang Zishan sighed.

On the night when Liu Chaoge was handling family matters, he was the one who threw Liu Zhaolang into the execution ground like a chicken.

After the incident was over, he rushed here again without stopping.

After drinking another glass of soju, he sighed: "Damn, I'm afraid I won't be able to catch up these days. I've been on the road even at night, let alone drinking!"

He looked around and found no characters that caught his eye, so he asked straight to the point: "Brother, you missed Miss and the others by accident, right? I thought you had already hooked up with them."

Zhang Zizhen said helplessly: "I first searched for more than a hundred kilometers along the trade road in Youzhou. After I didn't encounter any, I went back and waited here. After all, this is the only way for them to pass."

Zhang Zishan said in shock: "Could it be that something unexpected happened to Miss and the others? This is terrible!"

"Just wait a few more days!" Zhang Zizhen drank the wine in his glass. "If we still can't wait for the young lady and the others, we brothers will continue to look for them. If something happens, we must first avenge the young lady and the others before we dare to go back. .”

The mistress only brought the two of them here, which was also a sign of respecting their own performance. If the two brothers messed up the matter, it would be hard to go back to see the mistress with shame.

"Hmph!" Zhang Zishan's dark face became even darker, "If something really happens, our brothers must twist off the culprit's head before being punished."

The two brothers used to be big bosses in Xishan. If they hadn't offended a ruthless person they couldn't afford to offend, they wouldn't be at a disadvantage against an ordinary second-grade player with their combined attack skills.

It was only when the two brothers took shelter in the Lin family, the most powerful family in Xishan, that they truly understood what a behemoth was, and the ruthless man did not continue to pursue the two brothers. Therefore, they were able to understand their mistress's secret trip. Using the two brothers is naturally extremely attentive.

"Hey, brother, look!" Zhang Zishan quickly ran to Butcher Hu's position and lay down in front of the window.

Regardless of the fact that he seemed to have knocked something down, he shouted happily: "I wonder if this caravan is the lady and the others."

Zhang Zizhen stood on tiptoe behind him and saw the situation outside the window. His thick brows knitted together and he said helplessly: "Damn, I haven't met the young lady in person. I just brought a token when I left."

"Oh, forget it." Zhang Zizhen patted his younger brother, "Let's go to the Honglu Inn in town and wait. I've inquired about that place before. Caravans with hundreds of people usually choose their home. This is the inn. Although the location is good, the space is too small, and caravans usually don’t come here.”

After he was happy, he turned around and realized that the butcher beside him had been focusing on the two brothers, and he suddenly became suspicious.

Zhang Zishan stared and asked, "What do you think we are doing?"

Butcher Hu looked calm, pointed to the wine bottle lying on the table and the wine spilled on the ground on the table, and said coldly: "You spilled my wine."

"Hmph!" Zhang Zishan's bandit habits were about to show up, but his eldest brother Zhang Zizhen stopped him from acting rudely.

He called the waiter over, took out a fifty-tael piece of silver and threw it to the waiter, "I'll give this eldest brother two good dishes and two jugs of the same good wine, and the rest of the money will be left in the account." Come on, maybe we can come here for dinner in the evening."

"Brother, what are you doing?" Zhang Zishan looked unhappy.

Zhang Zizhen slapped his younger brother on the forehead directly, "You are so stupid, can't you tell the difference between business and business?"

"Bringing back Miss Liu's family is what we should do now!"

After Zhang Zizhen apologized to Butcher Hu, he took his younger brother and ran out without saying a word.

"Why are you standing there? Why don't you serve me some more good wine and food? This is only fifty taels of silver."

Butcher Hu listened to the two brothers' words and chuckled softly at the waiter who rolled his eyes.

After receiving the letter a few days ago, he would wait here at noon every day, but he was not waiting for Liu Weirui and the others.

The person he was waiting for had already arrived, but what he was waiting for had not happened yet.

The man on the second floor above me must have heard what was happening below.

He dipped the wine on the table with his thick fingers that had been used to butcher flesh all year round. He put it under his nose and smelled it. The sweet aroma of the wine seemed to be tinged with the smell of blood.

"Things are getting interesting. Maybe I don't have to do anything anymore." He thought to himself.

Hearing the words "Miss Liu", Yue Jiu, who was drinking upstairs, finally stopped.

He looked at the caravan getting closer and closer to the town, and couldn't help but narrowed his drunken eyes.

He was earlier than everyone else, arriving here ten days ago.

Watching the "prey" gradually approaching, he actually felt uneasy because he hadn't killed anyone for a long time.

I still remember that a few years ago, when he was a fledgling from Hidden Valley, when he accepted the mission for the first time, he simply inserted his sword into the heart of the target.

At that time, he was extremely cool and cold, and his whole state of mind seemed to be extremely vast. Under the sword moves as bright and quiet as the moonlight, he killed everyone, men, women, old people, children, until he met her.

That was the first time he made a mistake. She saved a little girl from him, but the other person just said lightly: "Worse than a beast."

He originally thought that his sword was clear and his path was promising, but for the first time he was horrified to discover that under the so-called vast sky, there was actually a moonlight riddled with holes.

There is no doubt that he is a genius. In the continuous and ruthless killing of swordsmanship, he has no worries and can make progress regardless of whether he is right or wrong.

But he is on the verge of annihilating his humanity and has reached an irreversible extreme.

He was extremely fascinated at that time, and when he pulled out the sword, there was still the smell of hot blood in the air.

Killing seems to have become his instinct to survive.

That is, when he raised his sword to kill a little girl like before, she took action to save the girl and said: "Nothing better than an animal."

He didn't expect that he couldn't beat a woman and lost to her.

After that, "worse than an animal" became his nightmare every night, and he began to think about the meaning of his own existence while searching for that woman.

Then, on the lonely mountain trails and in the woods, they met deliberately, blindly killed each other, got to know each other helplessly, and finally, they thought they fell in love with each other.

He, whose sword skills were impaired, did not dare to kill women and children anymore.

He had killed many people before, and she had saved many people before. He felt that he was not worthy of each other.

So he was thinking about splitting up his former self all the time, but the people he had killed so happily began to appear in his dreams every night, and outside the dream, in reality, Hidden Valley's Zhanglu family had already been targeting him. Got him.

Assassins born in Hidden Valley were all orphans, and Hidden Valley would not take their lives at all, so he buried his head in fear, bought a house with the money from previous murders, and indulged in redemption and fear all day long.

He found that he seemed to be a drowning fish. Even though there was breathable air around him, he was still dying...

At noon, the gentle and warm sunlight passed through the window and touched his cheeks, awakening him who was lost in the past.

Looking out the window again, his drunken eyes had woken up, and he seemed to see a glimmer of hope to break out of the quagmire.

Although this time he will kill many people, including women. But if you can escape Hidden Valley and live again, everything will be worth it.

He waved his palm, and the sword "Yuehua" lying quietly on the table flew directly to his hand.

He had already recognized the caravan, and in order for everything to go smoothly, he did not plan to kill directly in the town. He only planned to intercept and kill the two people who had just left.

The opponent's movement seemed not weak when he first came out. From Yue Jiu's point of view, the opponent's strength was just enough to re-open his "Yuehua" attack.

…

"After you take them and settle them at the Honglu Inn in the town, come to find us on the second floor of the Dangguan Inn."

As soon as the caravan entered the town, it split into two groups.

After Liu Weirui finished explaining to Li Si, she turned around and smiled at the two people behind her: "The apricot blossom sake unique to Dangguan Inn is sweet and nourishes the lungs. I have been thinking about it for a long time. Let's go."
