On the early morning of the second day of the second month of the first year of the Holy Calendar, the sky was clear and the sun was shining brightly. Forty miles north of Jingzhou City, Baling Mountain is full of flowers and full of spring, but there are shouts of fighting on the mountain roads.
Forty or fifty masked men in black were waving swords and guns and struggling to besiege a carriage. A dozen burly men in gray were guarding the carriage with sharp knives.
The big men in gray were highly skilled in martial arts and fought desperately. Although they did not collapse immediately, they could only barely resist. But after all, the crowd in black is strong in numbers, and they are very strong, and they are advancing without retreating, regardless of life or death.
Not long after, several big men in gray clothes fell to the ground, not knowing whether they were alive or dead. The man in black took the opportunity to press forward, approaching the carriage step by step. At this moment, in front of the carriage, a slender masked girl in white holding a sword flew from the air and headed straight for the carriage.
The driver of the carriage saw it and hurriedly flew to intercept it. The two met in the air, only to hear a scream, and the coachman fell down instantly. The girl in white turned over and landed on the roof of the car, then swung her sword and slashed towards the roof of the car.
At the critical moment, a stone flew from behind and hit the sword with a "ding" sound. Although the stone was small, it was powerful, and the sword was immediately deflected. The girl in white was stunned and almost lost her sword.
Immediately afterwards, a man in green flew close to the carriage from the air and struck the girl in white with his palm. The girl in white suddenly felt a strong wind coming from her palm. She didn't have time to think about it and hurriedly raised her palm to greet it.
There was a "pop" sound, two palms struck each other, and the girl in white was shocked and flew away. Although the girl's internal strength is not as good as her opponent's, her martial arts skills are good and her reactions are very quick. She rolled backwards and landed safely.
The girl in white hurriedly looked towards the carriage, and the man in green was already standing firmly on the roof of the carriage. The man in Tsing Yi is a man in his twenties, with a plain appearance, holding a folding fan about two feet long.
After the palm exchange just now, the girl in white knew that the opponent's martial arts skills were far superior to hers. However, it seemed that he was only trying to stop himself and did not use all his strength. She didn't dare to be careless and was about to ask when she saw two girls in green flying over and landing on both sides of the carriage.
The two girls in green used their jade flutes and jade flutes to instantly repel the men in black who were approaching the carriage, but did not take advantage of the situation to pursue them. It can be seen that their martial arts are far superior to these men in black, so they are showing mercy.
The girl in white saw the weapons in the hands of these three people, remembered something, and shouted loudly: "Brothers, step back for now!" Upon hearing this, the man in black hurriedly stepped back a few steps, stared at the carriage, and did not continue to attack. The girl in white whispered a few words to a man in black next to her, and the man hurried away.
Upon seeing this, the man in green clothes immediately flew down from the roof of the car and landed about ten feet in front of the girl in white clothes. He bowed to the girl in white and said, "This girl just had no choice but to take action. Please forgive me for any offense!"
The girl in white snorted, cupped her hands, and said coldly: "The Three Heroes of Xiaoxiang are famous far and wide, and I have heard about them for a long time. I didn't expect that when I saw them today, they turned out to be indiscriminate!"
At this time, the remaining men in gray were already protecting the carriage, not caring about their fallen companions who were dead, injured or lying on the ground. The two girls in green flew to the side of the man in green and stood on the left and right.
After hearing the words of the girl in white, before the man in green could speak, the girl holding the jade flute shouted first: "How can a masked robber who robs you have the right to judge us! If you dare to talk nonsense again, I will show no mercy!" After that, With a wave of his right hand, he raised the jade flute and pointed it at the girl in white.
Before the girl in white could speak, a masked girl in black next to her was furious. She stepped forward, raised her sword, and scolded: "You wild girl, you dare to insult my young lady! Apologize quickly, otherwise I will not let you go." !”
The man in Tsing Yi hurriedly stopped him and said: "Meijing, people don't want to show up, they have their own reasons. You put down your jade flute and apologize to the girl!" Meijing pouted, although she was very reluctant, she still put down her jade flute and said to Bai Yi The girl cupped her hands.
The girl in white also shouted to the girl in black: "Caihong, please don't be rude, step back!" Caihong curled her lips and stepped back as she was told.
Another girl in green continued: "Since this girl knows our senior brothers and sisters, she must also be a member of the Jianghu. What do you call me? Why are you masked and robbing?"
The girl in white pondered for a moment and said: "We are just unknown people, and even if I tell you, you don't know. Today we are here to avenge a bloody sea of blood, not to block the road and rob, so please don't interfere!"
But the man in green smiled slightly and said to the girl using the jade flute: "Liangchen, why are you so blind today that you didn't realize that this girl is a master of Lingnan Xianxia Sect?"
Liangchen said doubtfully: "Senior Brother, as far as I know, the Xianxia Sect rarely accepts girls as disciples. Are you wrong?"
The man in green turned to the girl in white and said, "The movement the girl performed just now when she got off the roof of the car should be the Xianxia sect's unique skill of Meteor Catching the Moon. Lin Feiyun, please give me your name. What grudges do you have with the people in the carriage? I'm not talented, I want to Let me resolve it for you!"
The girl in white glanced at Lin Feiyun and hesitated. She knew that Lin Feiyun and the others were the rangers who had become famous in the Xiangjiang area in the past two years. What they had done was to act chivalrously and eliminate violence, and they were highly praised by their fellow warriors. Logically speaking, she should believe in Lin Feiyun's sincerity and tell the whole story. But what she did was really important, so she was very hesitant.
Seeing this, Caihong said fiercely: "The people in the car killed my young lady's relatives. We will never give up until they kill her. Young Master Lin, since you are chivalrous, please don't meddle in other people's business and leave as soon as possible." .”
Lin Feiyun said in a deep voice: "It is better to resolve enemies than to end them. There must be some misunderstanding. I still want to know the whole story. Please explain in detail."
Liangchen also said: "Since our debut, when we encounter any enmity, we must deal with it to the end. If we don't understand what is right and wrong, wouldn't we become indiscriminate people?" Liangchen was obviously using the words of the girl in white just now to block it. her mouth.
The girl in white was stunned for a moment. Thinking of what she just said, she knew Liangchen's intention. It seems that if they don't tell the truth today, these three people will not leave like this. The girl in white has long heard that the three heroes of Xiaoxiang are highly skilled in martial arts, especially Lin Feiyun, who has never met an opponent. If the three of them intervene, even though there are many people on their side, they will definitely not be their opponents.
The girl in white really didn't want to miss such a good opportunity for revenge. She bit her silver teeth and said to Lin Feiyun: "Young Master Lin, my surname is Xiao. More than forty years ago, my aunt was brutally killed by a vicious woman in the car, and the whole family suffered, so she is very She must pay with her life."
However, Mei Mei had doubts and said: "Miss Xiao, from the sound of your voice, you are only about twenty years old. How do you know who is right and who is wrong about what happened forty years ago? You can't provide any evidence!"
Lin Feiyun thought carefully about the past grievances told by her parents about Miss Xiao, and since this matter involved close relatives of the Xiao family, the Xiao family would inevitably shift the responsibility to the people in the car. Therefore, he disagreed with Miss Xiao's words and acquiesced to the beautiful view.
Seeing that Feiyun didn't express his position, Miss Xiao knew that he didn't believe her, so she said: "It seems that Lin Shaoxia doesn't believe what I said either. It's a simple matter. You call the people in the car out and confront me! Do you still think that at that time It's my fault, I will leave immediately, what do you think?"
Miss Xiao's request was reasonable and Lin Feiyun could not refuse. He turned his head and looked at the carriage behind him. Although there was a lot of killing outside, there was no movement inside the carriage. At this time, the remaining ten big men in gray were standing guard around the carriage, looking warily at the man in black not far away, but no one said a word.
Feiyun thought for a moment, then turned around and said, "Miss Xiao is right. I'll ask the people in the car to come out and distinguish right from wrong!" He turned around and left with a good time and beautiful scenery.
Feiyun and the other three came to the carriage and were about to step forward when they were blocked by a big man in gray. The big man in gray cupped his hands, with a very serious expression on his face, and said coldly: "I'm very grateful for your help just now. But please don't get close to the carriage again. If you have anything to do, please tell me first, and I'll ask my master for instructions!" "
Mei Mei felt unhappy and shouted sternly: "What a shady thing! If my senior brother hadn't taken action just now, your master would have died long ago. Get out of the way quickly, otherwise I will teach you a lesson on your master's behalf!"
The big man in gray clothes ignored the beautiful scenery and just stood motionless in front of Feiyun. Mei Mei was furious and immediately slapped her away. Feiyun was also dissatisfied with the words and deeds of the man in gray, so he did not stop the beautiful scenery.
The big man saw that the beauty was just a young and beautiful girl of seventeen or eighteen years old, so he didn't take her seriously and immediately waved her hands to greet her. Just listen to the sound of "pop" and hit each other with your palms. However, the strong man could not stand and took several steps back. If it hadn't been for another big man in gray to hold him up, he would have fallen to the ground. The other big men in gray clothes could not help but turn pale with shock when they saw the beautiful scenery but remained motionless.
Meimei glanced at the big men in gray clothes, sneered contemptuously, and strode forward. Two more big men in gray roared angrily and were about to rush forward to stop them.
At this moment, a voice came from the car: "Everyone, please step back, don't be rash!" Then the car curtain opened, and a woman came out of the car. When the two big men in gray heard this, they quickly retreated.
This woman was about thirty years old, very beautiful, with an excellent figure, good temperament, and extremely gorgeous clothes. Feiyun looked at her expression and thought that she must be a daughter of a wealthy family, so he coughed, indicating that the beautiful scenery should not be compromised. When Mei Mei heard it, she stopped and returned to Feiyun.
The woman got off the carriage, came to Feiyun and the others, looked at them, gave a salute, and said with a smile: "Thanks to the three helping hands, we will repay you generously. What do you have to say?"
Feiyun saw that she was only in her thirties and was obviously not the enemy that Miss Xiao said, so she turned around and shouted: "Miss Xiao, it seems you have found the wrong person!" But Miss Xiao loudly replied: "No. I'll go there. Ask her a few words and you'll understand. Okay?"
Miss Xiao didn't come directly. She obviously didn't want to cause trouble to avoid offending Feiyun, so she asked Feiyun for his opinion first. Feiyun thought that she couldn't play any tricks in front of him, so he nodded in agreement.
Miss Xiao brought Caihong to Feiyun, looked at the woman carefully, and said to Feiyun: "Young Master Lin, the person I am looking for is not her, but her master. She probably doesn't know what we are going to say. , it’s better to call her master out!”
But the woman said: "Not necessarily. If you two want to know something, please just say so." Feiyun was stunned and couldn't help but glance at Miss Xiao.
Miss Xiao snorted coldly and said: "You are just a maid, how can you know what happened to your master more than forty years ago?" Although Miss Xiao's words contained sarcasm and contempt, the woman was not angry. She just hesitated for a moment and then He said with a calm expression: "Although I was not born more than forty years ago, I still know a thing or two about my master. If I can't answer your questions, I will ask for instructions."
Feiyun saw that the owner of the carriage would not come out easily, so he said: "In that case, Miss Xiao should ask her first." Seeing that Feiyun had already spoken, Miss Xiao had no choice but to agree, and asked: "Forty years ago, what happened to the palace?" Why did Concubine Xiao Shu die? How did she die? Who was the person who killed her? Do you know this? "
When the woman heard this, she was shocked and was speechless for a long time. Feiyun was also shocked. He didn't expect that Miss Xiao was asking about the concubines in the palace. However, Feiyun immediately thought that Miss Xiao and Concubine Xiao Shu were both named Xiao, so they must be related to each other, so he didn't find it strange.
Seeing that the woman hadn't spoken for a long time, the anxious and quick-spoken Meijing was very anxious and said, "Auntie, if you don't know, go back and ask your master quickly. Don't stay here in a daze!"
Although the woman was dressed as an unmarried girl, because she looked to be in her thirties, was dressed as a maid, and spoke freely due to the beautiful scenery, she called her aunt.
When the woman heard this, her face turned red and she was embarrassed. She hesitated for a moment and then said: "I heard that Concubine Xiao Shu tried to poison the late emperor, so she committed suicide out of fear of crime!"
When Miss Xiao heard this, she was so angry that her eyebrows stood up and her almond-shaped eyes widened. She shouted sternly: "You bitch, you dare to slander and talk nonsense, you are really looking for death!" With that, he waved his jade hand and pulled out the sword. , and slashed at the woman.
Feiyun next to him had been wary of Miss Xiao's sudden attack, but when he saw that she did take action, he hurriedly waved his folding fan to block Miss Xiao's sword, and at the same time said: "Miss Xiao, the matter is not clear, please don't get angry and kill innocent people by mistake. "
Miss Xiao drew her sword in anger, using all her inner strength, and its power was like thunder. But her sharp sword strike was blocked halfway by Feiyun's folding fan. When the swords and fans collided, the swords could no longer move forward at all, but the folding fans were not damaged. Fortunately, Feiyun just wanted to block her sword and didn't use much internal force, otherwise he would have injured Miss Xiao's arm.
Miss Xiao had no choice but to take back her sword and said harshly to Feiyun: "Since you favor them, I know I am no match for you. I have no choice but to admit defeat today and seek revenge from her another day!" After saying that, she turned around and wanted to take revenge. leave.
Feiyun hurriedly advised: "Miss Xiao, I will not favor anyone. What this woman said is just one side of the story. The matter has not been made clear yet, so don't worry. I will invite this person for you and let you face each other. Confrontation.”
Miss Xiao saw that Feiyun was sincere and had no intention of taking sides. Not willing to give up, she stopped, turned around, and nodded towards Feiyun.
Feiyun turned to the woman and said: "Sister, I have promised this girl to ask your master to come out and answer the question. Please tell your master to avoid embarrassing me!"
Just now, Miss Xiao's sword was gleaming with cold light and she was coming straight towards her. The woman had already turned pale with fright and her whole body was shaking. She didn't come back to her senses until Feiyun spoke.
