Plum Garden.
In the study room, the heater is flowing and cigarette smoke is curling up.
Miss Qin Er, who was wearing a plain white dress, was sitting in front of the desk, her eyebrows slightly furrowed, and she was listening to Luo Qingzhou's words attentively, with a serious expression on her face.
Luo Qingzhou stood aside and whispered.
Qiu'er stood at the door, looking at the shoes on the ground, sighing inaudibly, not knowing what she was thinking.
Zhuer had a cold face and practiced throwing knives in the courtyard.
The flying knife was getting faster and faster, hitting the bullseye more and more times, and the force was getting harder and harder.
"All the heartless people, go to hell!"
When Luo Qingzhou came out of the room, he heard what she was mumbling.
Qiu'er squatted on the ground, helped him put on his shoes, looked up at him, moved his lips, but stopped talking.
She didn't say anything until he left the courtyard.
"Qiu'er, let's go to my second brother's place."
Qin Weimo's weak voice came from the study.
Qiu'er quickly agreed, entered the study, went over to help her get her coat, and helped her get up.
In the courtyard, Zhuer immediately put away all the throwing knives and hid them in her waist.
Luo Qingzhou took Xia Chan out.
Quietly go out through the back door.
In the secluded courtyard, in front of the girl next to him, he took out the mask, put it on his face, took off his loose Confucian robe, and put on a blue slim-fitting gown.
Then he turned around and looked at her and said, "Do you still know my uncle?"
Xia Chan looked at him blankly and shook her head.
Luo Qingzhou took out another small blue gown from his storage bag, handed it to her, and said, "Yours, put it on."
Xia Chan glanced at it, hesitated, took it, and put it on.
Although it was a small size, it still looked very loose when worn on her slender body, making her whole body look even more delicate.
This girl is not short, but her bones are very thin, which makes her face small and body thin, making her look very weak and thin. If she had a trace of sickly paleness on her cheeks, she would probably be comparable to Miss Qin Er.
However, who would have thought that she is a master who can seal a throat with one sword?
"Chanchan, can you put the sword with me first? Walking on the road with a sword would be too arrogant, which is not conducive to our operation this time."
Luo Qingzhou hesitated for a moment and then spoke.
He knew that the sword in the girl's hand never left her hand, even when she was sleeping, she still held it in her hand.
Only those few nights spent planting flowers in the garden were put behind me.
This girl has been insecure since she was a child.
The sword in her hand is her only support.
Now that she is out, with so many people on the street, she will definitely be nervous and uneasy. Only by holding her sword can she feel more at ease.
"Forget it, it doesn't actually matter..."
Just when Luo Qingzhou was about to give up, the sword in the girl's hand was already handed to him and she looked at him calmly.
Luo Qingzhou was stunned for a moment, took the sword, put it into his storage bag, looked at her and said, "Thank you."
Thank you for her obedience, and even more thank you for her trust.
Luo Qingzhou took her out of the alley.
Walking on the bustling streets, the shouts of vendors come and go, and pedestrians are bustling.
Luo Qingzhou felt the nervousness of the girl next to him, hesitated for a moment, stretched out his hand, took her cold little hand, held her hand, and continued to walk forward.
The girl was startled for a moment, then turned to look at him. Without speaking or struggling, she quietly approached him.
The two of them, one tall and one short, wearing the same blue gown, holding hands, walked through the crowd in tacit understanding like a silent couple.
The afternoon sun is a bit lazy.
The wind blows, bringing with it the aroma of wine hidden in the alleys and the aroma of cakes from roadside stalls.
"Tanghulu, candied haws..."
A vendor shouted.
Luo Qingzhou took a look, walked over with the girl beside him, bought a bunch, and handed it to her.
The girl stretched out her other hand and took it without saying a word.
The two held hands and continued walking forward.
When they reached the arch bridge leading into and out of the inner city, the two of them stopped at the same time.
Luo Qingzhou led her to the bridge, looked at the bridge below, and said, "Chanchan, do you still remember that night?"
The girl next to her had a candied haws in her mouth, her pink cheeks slightly bulging, she blinked her eyes and swallowed hard.
After a while, Fang said: "Yeah."
Luo Qingzhou recalled in his mind the scene of the two people hiding under the bridge and clinging to each other during the stormy night, and said softly: "Chanchan..."
"Um?"
The girl's pink lips were stained with glistening sugar juice. She tilted her head slightly and looked at him with her dark and clear eyes.
Under the bright sunshine, the masked face was ordinary, no longer as delicate and beautiful as before, but it still made her feel dazed.
"Your feet are so pretty."
Luo Qingzhou held it in for a long time, but when he said such a sentence, he suddenly felt a little embarrassed and continued to walk forward with her in hand.
Forget it, when he gets back, he will throw away those two books that disturbed his Taoist mind.
But when I was just recalling what happened that night, under the dark and cold bridge, next to the warm and dancing bonfire, the girl's snow-white feet with her stockings off were indeed an unforgettable sight of that night.
Cute girls are cute everywhere, right?
Xia Chan was led by him and turned to look at the expression on his face. The look in her eyes moved, as if she wanted to say something, but in the end she didn't say anything.
Entered the outer city.
The streets in the outer city were obviously a lot dirty.
The houses are dilapidated and shops are scarce.
There are also more beggars.
Many pedestrians have sallow faces and thin muscles, and it is obvious that they even have trouble eating.
But no matter how poor a place is, there are still brothels.
Luo Qingzhou led Xia Chan and as soon as they passed through a street, they saw a beautifully decorated brothel.
There were bewitching women in gauze and gorgeous flowers standing at the door and upstairs. The quality was obviously much lower than that of the Tianxian Tower in the inner city.
"Master, Master! Come in and play, the first time is free! We have fat and thin people, tall and short people, big and small, white and black, young and beautiful girls, sexy and charming women, charming There are still some old ladies out there..."
As soon as Luo Qingzhou led Xia Chan through the door, a woman walked over, twisting her slender waist and shaking a small round fan in her hand, and introduced her enthusiastically.
But Xia Chan only turned to look at her, and she immediately closed her mouth.
Crossed a few more streets.
Luo Qingzhou led her to the alley in front, looking at the beggar leaning against the corner of the alley, and whispered: "Chanchan, we're here, be careful later, if you can't beat him, run away. With your speed, no one can catch up. Don't worry about me, I can run faster than you."
Xia Chan shook the empty palm and said nothing.
Luo Qingzhou led her to the beggar, took out a piece of broken silver from his pocket, and threw it into the bowl in front of him.
The beggar immediately reached out and picked up the broken silver from the bowl, quickly lowered his head and said: "Thank you, sir, thank you, sir..."
The moment he lowered his head to thank him, a cold light flashed in Luo Qingzhou's hand, and the sharp dagger pierced his neck with a "chi" sound.
The beggar stiffened and opened his mouth. Before he could raise his head, Luo Qingzhou grabbed his clothes, glanced around, dragged him into the alley, and threw him into a pile of garbage.
"Chanchan, here you go."
Luo Qingzhou took out the sword from his storage bag, handed it to the girl beside him, and warned him again: "Be careful, don't show off, and run away if you can't fight. Do you hear me?"
The girl nodded slightly.
Luo Qingzhou took her deep into the alley and came to the outside of the wall of a small courtyard.
"Wait a minute and keep an eye on me."
Luo Qingzhou stood in the corner and immediately went in to investigate the situation.
Those people were still hiding in the dark woodshed, talking in low voices.
However, there seemed to be one person missing in the room. Upon closer inspection, the old man surnamed Mei from Chengguofu was no longer there.
Luo Qingzhou was suspicious, and immediately carefully flew to other rooms to search, but couldn't find it.
Have you entered the inner city in advance?
He carefully searched the entire courtyard again, and after seeing that there was no other abnormality, he made a quick decision and immediately floated out, returning to his senses.
"action!"
Luo Qingzhou jumped directly from the courtyard wall.
Then he leaned against the wall and silently approached the woodshed. He turned his head and looked behind him, and Xia Chan had followed silently.
"Guard the door."
Luo Qingzhou pointed, then jumped up to the nearby courtyard wall, and climbed onto the roof of the low woodshed along the courtyard wall.
Suddenly the voice of the middle-aged man from the Song family came from the house: "There is someone on the roof!"
"boom!"
A bang!
Luo Qingzhou punched down suddenly, directly smashing a big hole in the fragile green tile roof, and then with a flash of cold light in his hand, he dropped a large bag of cut lime powder with a "pop"!
In the narrow woodshed, white powder suddenly scattered all over the sky.
A few people reacted slowly and were immediately sprayed all over their heads and bodies.
"Get out quickly!"
Song Yan shouted urgently, and with a bang, he was the first to break through the door!
"Uh-huh!"
A cold light instantly pierced his throat!
Song Yan's face changed drastically, and he had no time to avoid it, so he had to raise his hand to protect his throat and grasp the sharp tip of the sword!
A pain suddenly hit me!
Taking advantage of this opportunity, he immediately dodged and jumped out.
At this moment, his palm had been penetrated by a sharp sword and was dripping with blood.
However, he narrowly avoided this fatal blow, and his clothes suddenly bulged, and his fists hit him with a "boom"!
The two Zhang family members had already rushed out of the woodshed.
The young man and woman from the Song family followed, and just as they were about to rush out, a slender black shadow suddenly flew out of the white air behind them, and with a "chi" sound, it instantly pierced their calves!
The two screamed "Ah" and fell to the ground at the door with a "Plop".
The two of them were about to grit their teeth and stand up, when the slender black shadow suddenly spun a few times and cut off one of their feet in an instant!
The two screamed again.
The slender black shadow suddenly flew up to the roof and disappeared.
"boom!"
The pair of Zhang family men who came to the courtyard and were about to attack Xia Chan suddenly heard an explosion above their heads. Their expressions suddenly changed. Just when they looked up, a huge fist suddenly fell from the sky with a "bang" , directly hit one of the men's head until it exploded!
The man next to him was so frightened that he suddenly slashed away with the sword in his hand.
It's a pity that he is not strong enough, and his sword speed cannot match that of the girl next to him.
"boom!"
Another punch came down, directly breaking his ribs, knocking him away, hitting the courtyard wall not far away hard, and he passed out on the spot.
In the blink of an eye, the four young men and women in the martial arts realm were already lying on the ground, one dead and three wounded.
Luo Qingzhou looked at the middle-aged man from the Song family who was punching fiercely. When he was about to go up to help, his heart suddenly skipped a beat and he turned around and punched.
"boom!"
A terrifying force suddenly hit his fist!
With a "click", his arm was broken on the spot, and then his whole body was hit by the huge force and flew backwards, falling to the far corner.
He endured the severe pain and looked up. The old man named Mei in gray robe suddenly appeared out of nowhere!
"boom!"
The old man surnamed Mei didn't look at him twice, and immediately punched the girl who was swinging the sword fiercely!
Two martial arts masters, one at the mid-level martial arts level and the other at the early-level martial arts level, besieged the girl who was extremely fast with her sword.
But even so, the middle-aged man named Song Yan from the Song family was still hit by another sword on his shoulder, and blood gurgled out.
The old man surnamed Mei punched the girl and sent her flying. Then he followed up with a few more "boom" punches and said: "Brother Song, step back. I'm here to greet this girl." , you go kill that kid in the corner!"
"Okay, here's Brother Laomei."
Song Yan withdrew from the battle, touched the wound on his shoulder, and glanced at the girl who drew the sword very quickly. A look of fear appeared on her face. She immediately turned around, clenched her fists, and walked towards the corner with a ferocious look on her face. color.
Luo Qingzhou's arm was broken and the back of his hand was bloody. He was sitting in the corner, enduring the pain and holding his arm with his other hand. When he saw him walking quickly, his expression changed.
"Uh-huh!"
The sword in Xia Chan's hand suddenly became faster. Regardless of the fist in front of her, her figure flashed towards Song Yan who was walking towards him.
"boom!"
The old man surnamed Mei took the opportunity to punch her in the back, but she refused to avoid it and stared at the figure closely. The moment he was punched in the back, she made a "swish" sound and teleported. The speed flew up!
"Brother Song, be careful!"
The expression of the old man surnamed Mei changed and he shouted urgently.
Song Yan already felt something was wrong, and just as he was about to make an emergency move, he suddenly felt a chill on the back of his neck!
The sharp sword penetrated directly through his entire neck!
He never imagined that this girl's speed would suddenly reach this point!
He had no time to react!
