Before Xu Zhuchen went out, Guan Shan reluctantly held her hand and sobbed softly: "Sister Zhuchen, thank you, from now on we... alas, we are destined to meet again because the mountains are high and the road is far away."
Xu Zhuchen smiled and squeezed her hand, unable to do anything about her coquettishness. She said: "Xiao Shan, I'm just looking for someone. If I find her, I will naturally come back and see you in Anbu."
Guan Shan raised her head: "Who is sister going to find?" After she finished speaking, she realized later: "Is it that Xiao Mei, ahem, my eldest sister?"
Xu Zhuchen sighed helplessly, nodded, and shook his head: "I'm looking for her, my best friend named Xiao Mei. But I don't know if she and the 'Xiao Mei' you mentioned are the same person. .”
Guan Shan's famous flower explained: "If Sister Zhuchen is looking for it, she will definitely be able to find it. However, the world is so big, where can sister go to find it?"
Xu Zhuchen's eyes looked straight ahead, and he felt some indescribable joy in his heart: "Zhiyang."
Her eyes passed through Guan Shan and the wooden window of the Escort Bureau, and seemed to fly all the way to Zhiyang on the wings of joy, landing next to Xiao Mei.
Guan Shan looked at her and became excited for her.
Mountains to the south and water to the north are yang, mountains to the north and water to the south are yin. Zhiyang is located in the north of Zhishui. It is the first city to rise in the Zhishui basin. Because it is located in the northwest and has long days, it is the city with the liveliest nightlife.
Guan Shan thought for a while, took Xu Zhuchen's hand, and said happily: "Sister Zhuchen wants to find my eldest sister, your best friend, and come to see me happily with her."
She showed a bright smile and asked: "But, Sister Zhuchen, although Zhiyang is the neighboring city of Anbu, the distance is still quite far...Does Sister Zhuchen want to walk there?"
Xu Zhuchen shook his head: "No. I will conserve my strength before I see her."
The two said goodbye reluctantly, saying goodbye three or four times before letting go of their clasped hands.
"Thousands of miles away, the sky is vast and misty. Sister Zhuchen," Guan Shan wiped her tears and said with a smile, "be careful along the way!"
Xu Zhuchen held the sword and said with a smile: "Yes."
She left the escort agency, feeling reluctant to leave. I raised my head and looked at the sky again - the spring was bright and the sunlight was clear. It was really a good day to say goodbye.
Unusually, there were not many carriages in front of the Escort Bureau. The donkey carriage that had just carried them had gone somewhere. The remaining carriage drivers seemed to be afraid when they saw Xu Zhuchen's appearance and rejected her one by one.
Xu Zhuchen held on to the crown of her hair, feeling a little angry and a little amused: when she first came to the escort agency in Anbu with her father when she was a child, one of the escort chiefs thought she was a banished immortal with gray hair and a childish face.
She shook her head in resignation and walked a few miles before she found a driver willing to take her. When the coachman heard that she was going to Zhiyang, he frowned and thought for a long time before saying, "Okay, but the price will increase."
Xu Zhuchen asked in confusion: "What? Is there anything dangerous in Zhiyang?"
The driver spat out the blades of grass in his mouth, looked around, and then approached Xu Zhuchen and whispered: "You don't know! I heard that there was a demon named Han Ling who injured a pillar of the righteous path at a martial arts conference. Now he has gone to Zhiyang, where he is arrogant and arrogant!"
After he finished speaking, as if he was afraid that Han Ling would try to kill him, he raised his hand and bowed around.
Xu Zhuchen was amused after hearing this: She knew very well that during the three or two days that Han Ling had left Yanshan Inn, he probably wouldn't even be able to leave Qinzhou.
But she was a little wary - it should be noted that there are always many people who want to do evil in the world, they just lack a name. Now, they occupy the identity of "Han Ling", which on the one hand deepens the people's fear of them and on the other hand smeares Han Ling's reputation. It is not a good thing for both parties.
So she put on an open-minded look and asked: "I didn't understand it before. Brother, what else do you know?"
Seeing her humbly asking for advice, the coachman rubbed the back of his head with some embarrassment and said with a smile: "Hey! What else? Even if I heard that he put down his harsh words and asked the officials to arrest him! Forget it if you think this person is arrogant. , I have been to a lot of government officials in the past few days, but no one has caught him. Instead, they are preventing him from bullying men and dominating women... What the hell is this!"
After hearing this, Xu Zhuchen made an assessment in his mind - I am afraid that this person has nothing to do with Han Ling, and is just a simple evil person with some abilities. She smiled humbly, took out half of the silver and put it in the driver's hand: "Thank you, brother. I'll give you the silver first."
The driver took the silver, bumped it, and said with a smile: "Girl, let's set off!"
The two of them entered the Zhiyang City Gate in a bumpy way, but they did not encounter any interrogation. The guards guarding the gate along the way all seemed to be dedicated to their duties, and no one had any fear or anxiety on their faces.
"They look cool and feel that the city is very safe, right?" The coachman entered the city, whipped his horse, and turned back to Xu Zhuchen and said, "That's because they feel that the matter has nothing to do with them. These officials are very bad, and in turn they Pay the 'protection fee' to Demon Han Ling. The officials and these guards will be fine, but we ordinary people will be in trouble!"
As he spoke, he hammered the car body in anger. Xu Zhuchen couldn't help but smile.
The rise and fall, everyone is responsible. If every ordinary person cared about the world like she and Xiang Chaofu did, living high in a temple and worrying about his people, and living far away in rivers and lakes but worrying about his king, wouldn't the world be a better place?
She thought, opened the car curtain and looked outside,
Outside the car window, there is greenery, and the shadows of trees are swaying, blocking out the sky and the sun. There seemed to be no end to the forest. The trees were so close together that their branches almost reached into the car.
On both sides of the path, there were knee-deep green grass, swaying in the wind. But in the entire forest, not a single bird song was heard.
Xu Zhuchen knew something was wrong, so he held his breath and concentrated, using his inner strength to explore around.
Her inner strength was so well controlled that it was as light as intangible. Not long after, the location of the ambush enemy was discovered.
Judging from their aura and internal strength, facing Xu Zhuchen was like hitting an egg against a stone.
Xu Zhuchen sighed secretly, wrapped a copper coin with her inner strength, and threw it towards the grass. She deliberately controlled the intensity of her inner strength, just to give a warning, and did not intend to actually hurt anyone's life.
Fighting swords and grudges sounds very refreshing, but in fact it will only cause yourself a lot of trouble.
Seeing that the copper coin hit someone, but there was no movement in the grass, it seemed that the person who ambushed was also knowledgeable.
With this thought in mind, she was about to lower the car curtain, but she felt that the internal force in the grass was gradually weakening.
Not leaving, but gradually losing.
Compared to her first trial, she had lost nearly a quarter.
Xu Zhuchen secretly screamed in his heart that it was bad, and quickly stopped the coachman and whispered: "Brother, we may have fallen into a trap. I need you to change the route now and go to the rear right."
The coachman was stunned for a moment and hesitated: "Girl, we have been trapped, isn't this bad?"
Seeing his sad face, Xu Zhuchen knew that he was afraid of getting angry, so he nodded and said: "I understand your difficulty, but I was reckless just now. In this way, when you get to the big tree in front, brother, make a sharp turn and then run forward. , don’t worry about me.”
After she finished speaking, she took out her sword and secretly raised her breath.
The driver turned around and said, "Girl, I really can't do this, I really can't do it. It's too dangerous here, don't take risks, just leave!"
He spoke sincerely, but Xu Zhuchen could not abandon the wounded man in the grass.
Xu Zhuchen drew out his sword and said coldly: "Let's be honest, I'm not a good person. If you don't obey, don't blame me for being ruthless with my sword."
The driver was well aware of her intentions, but he had no choice but to grit his teeth and turn the car outward.
Xu Zhuchen took advantage of this force and jumped out of the carriage, his sword already unsheathed.
Her sword is called Zhanlu, Jianjia Cangcang, white dew is frost, so the dew condenses into frost. Xu Zhuchen swung his long sword in the air, and the sword flashed with a few cold lights and stabbed straight out.
It is the first style of "Guanghan Sword" - Snow Intent.
The dew from the sky condensed on the edge of her sword, and the coldness spread across it, like a blizzard approaching, sweeping away the weeds covering the ground to reveal the figure.
As expected, several restless figures appeared in the grass, most of them holding weapons in their hands. Xu Zhuchen looked carefully and saw a girl lying on the ground among the group of people, bleeding profusely.
Just as she expected, this was a move to "surround the corpse and fight for reinforcements".
First, use the injured warrior as a bait to prevent him from dying. Instead, he deliberately releases his inner power and hides his identity. When good-hearted people come to rescue, they rush in and take lives.
Two fists are no match for four hands, and this girl doesn't know which bait she is on.
Xu Zhuchen thought to himself, this is the difference between "fake Han Ling" and "Han Ling".
At least, Han Ling would never use his disability or bully the weak to achieve his own goals.
The girl on the ground was covered in blood and was already unconscious. But when she heard Xu Zhuchen's movements, she still struggled to raise her head and yelled with all her strength: "Quickly...let's go!"
Her face was already covered with scars, and her eyes were covered with blood, making it impossible for her to see anything.
Seeing the girl being stepped into the dirt by a killer, Xu Zhuchen bit his back teeth and took a deep breath.
"Don't look like that. You will be the one here in two days." A killer said, showing his gold teeth.
Several killers burst into laughter, ignoring the girl's struggle under their feet, and stepped on her deeper and deeper.
Xu Zhuchen's face turned cold and he withdrew his sword slightly.
The killers just thought she was trying to escape and said a few dirty words. Xu Zhuchen seemed to be unable to hear. He closed his eyes and muttered something softly.
Immediately afterwards, a gust of wind swept through the grass, and knives of ice and snow were mixed in the wind, cutting the weeds in an instant. Before the killers could take out their weapons, the ice and snow condensed and spun around with thunderous force, cutting off the killers' limbs.
She had already seen that, not to mention a one-on-one duel, even if these people were to fight together, as long as they faced her, Xu Zhuchen, they would still be fighting with each other, with no chance of winning.
Xu Zhuchen slowly raised his face and said without any warmth:
"This move is called 'Snow Rising'."
