At three quarters of noon, Mo Yan crossed the mountains and rivers and came to the foot of another mountain. Suddenly, the sound of the piano came from deep in the mountain.
Mo Yan stopped and looked at the place where the sound of the piano was coming from, and calmed down to listen carefully. The sound of the piano was beautiful and melodious, making people intoxicated and unable to extricate themselves from it, as if the sound of the river was endless.
The sound of the piano was so captivating that Mo Yan suddenly became restless, his brain seemed to be controlled, his consciousness gradually became blurred, and his eyes instantly turned red.
Mo Yan noticed something was wrong and immediately regained consciousness, shook his head, exhaled a cold breath, and said in horror.
"Damn it, I almost lost consciousness. Fortunately, I reacted quickly enough, otherwise my life would have been decided today."
The sound of the piano has never stopped and is still echoing in this world.
Mo Yan couldn't help but curious and walked towards the direction where the sound of the piano came from. He quickly got into the woods and came to the depths of a remote forest. After walking out of the woods, there was a wide place. He looked around and saw that it was not far away. There is a small pond everywhere. The pond is full of lotus leaves and lotus flowers. There is a small jade pavilion above the pond. The jade pavilion is not big or small, just enough to accommodate one person and a guqin. This jade pavilion seems to be tailor-made for her. .
There is a black guqin placed on Yuting's chair. A woman dressed in black and wearing a veil is sitting on Yuting's chair. She has a pair of charming phoenix eyes under her green eyebrows. There is a black tear mole on the left corner of her eye. This tear mole blends with her beauty, setting off her unparalleled beauty. Even though she does not know her face under the veil, just by her pair of starry eyes , can charm a large number of infatuated people.
Mo Yan froze on the spot, staring blankly into her eyes. He was not bewitched, he was just admiring her beauty and the sound of the piano from the bottom of his heart.
The fingers of the woman in black danced on the strings of the guqin, undulating back and forth. The beautiful sound of the piano came from the fluctuating strings, and her hands seemed to be dancing with the sound of the piano.
The beautiful and melodious sound of the piano comes from this person.
When the woman in black saw the person coming, she just raised her head and then lowered her head and continued to play the strings without paying attention.
Mo Yan did not disturb him out of politeness, but leaned against a tree, enjoying the beautiful sound of the piano while sizing up the person.
The woman in black didn't care when he looked at her like this.
Time passed little by little, and after the woman finished playing the piece, she placed her hands flat on the strings, letting the sound of the piano slowly stop, and the residual sound echoing in the sky also dissipated. Become peaceful.
After Mo Yan saw her finish playing, he also looked full of contentment, clapped his hands and praised her profusely.
"The music played by the girl is really touching!"
"Thank you for the compliment, Master." The woman looked up at Mo Yan, her eyes revealing her endearment, and asked, "I wonder... why Master is here."
Mo Yan smiled broadly and said, "When I was passing by here, I happened to hear you playing music, so I wanted to come and witness it. I didn't expect that the girl's piano skills and beauty are so outstanding."
The woman in black lowered her head, stroked the strings of the guqin with her hand, and smiled lightly.
"I guess the young master is not just here to witness the piano skills and looks of the first and second girls, but he also comes with questions!"
Mo Yan pursed his lips and said with a smile: "The girl is really smart as ice and snow."
There was a hint of cruelty in the eyes of the woman in black, but it disappeared quickly, and even Mo Yan was not aware of it.
The woman in black had a gentle voice and said, "I'm afraid... I'm going to disappoint the young master. I can't answer any of his questions."
Her eyes were full of innocence, without any evil thoughts, and there was no way to associate her with a bad guy.
Mo Yan smiled calmly and said, "If you don't want to tell me, I won't ask."
The woman in black just smiled and said nothing.
"Girl, I still have important things to do, so I won't bother you too much. See you again when I'm destined."
After saying this, Mo Yan was about to walk in the direction he came from.
When the woman in black saw that he was about to leave, her thoughts changed and she asked, "My little girl heard...that a great person came down from Qingyang Peak today. I wonder...is it you?"
Hearing this, Mo Yan was stunned and stood there, a little at a loss. He turned around and said with a smile: "Is it possible that... the girl is here today specially to wait for me?"
The woman in black shook her head and said calmly: "Yes, not entirely!"
Mo Yan didn't understand and asked, "What do you mean by this?"
The woman in black narrowed her eyes slightly, glanced deep into the woods, and said, "I don't mean anything else, just leave!"
Mo Yan was confused and thought she was inexplicable, so he walked down the mountain along the way he came without staying too long.
The woman in black looked at his retreating back, smiled bitterly, and spoke in an indifferent tone towards the depths of the woods.
"Your junior brother is really extraordinary. He was able to forcefully break my restraints. It's not easy at such a young age. Your master, that old man, is quite good at choosing people."
As soon as he finished speaking, loud laughter came from deep in the woods.
"Hahahahaha... It is the first time to meet the famous Qin Mo Kuaren, and he is also my disciple of Qingyang Mountain. It is not easy!"
Qin You stared closely at Mubai who walked out leisurely from the depths of the woods, and asked: "The reason why you appear here is... maybe you are afraid that I will kill your junior brother!"
Mubai shook his head, smiled slightly and said, "I know that you are not here today because of my junior brother."
Qin You said coldly: "You seem to understand me very well? Or...have you admired me for a long time?"
Mubai quickly shook his head and explained: "Don't get me wrong, I just admire your piano sound, not a person. I hope you remember it."
Qin You said no more.
Not long after they came down the mountain, the sound of horse hooves could be heard behind them. The deafening sound of horse hooves made it impossible for Mo Yan to judge how many people were coming this way.
Because the horse was running too fast, he had to step aside to get out of the way to avoid an accident.
Because the horses were too fast, Mo Yan couldn't see clearly who they were, and even their appearance was blurry. He could only see clearly that they were wearing armor and looked majestic.
The horse flashed away from the eyes, and dust flew up. Mo Yan said "cough cough" and pinched his nose with his hand while using the other hand to drive away the dust. After a long time, the dust disappeared and they hurried away on horseback. .
Mo Yan frowned and complained: "In this world, everyone is really good, but they are not so active in reincarnation!"
After Mo said a few words, he patted the dust on his body with his hands, adjusted his thoughts and continued walking along the road.
Qinyou stood up, walked out of the jade pavilion, jumped up, and stood on a big tree. She looked at the people riding away, feeling uneasy but not knowing what to do. After all, she was here. In order to intercept these people from returning to the Shenying Dynasty.
It could have been absolutely foolproof today, and they could even be intercepted and killed here, but Mubai appeared halfway and ruined her private and thoughtful plan.
Mo Yan looked up, as if he had guessed something, and asked in question.
"Girl, are you waiting for them?"
Qin You nodded slightly. He must have known it by asking, so he didn't choose to hide it.
Mo Yan scratched his head and said in confusion.
"If you don't intercept them, they will run away."
As soon as these words came out, Qin You was stunned and said in disbelief.
"Little girl, as long as we stop them, they will definitely die today. Will you just stand by and watch?"
A smile appeared on Mo Yan's lips, he waved his hand and asked in question.
"I don't know them, why should I help them?"
Qin You was speechless immediately, not knowing what to say.
Seeing the serious expression on his face, I felt that he was not lying. After thinking for a moment.
The guqin flew into Qinyou's hands, and Qinyou hovered on the branches. The guqin was placed on her legs, and her fingers began to dance on the strings very smoothly. Along with the fluctuation of the strings, a melodious and somewhat sad song slowly flowed out. The sound of the piano spread for miles, and the leaves swayed with the fluctuations of the music, just like Mo Yan, enjoying the beautiful and melodious sound of the piano.
The time for a cup of tea has passed, and the sound of the piano has also disappeared. Qin You gently placed her palm on the strings, and the sound of the piano slowly faded away.
Mo Yan woke up from his intoxication and still had unfinished thoughts, "What a beautiful sound, why don't you show it more."
Qin You smiled bitterly, "It doesn't matter how good you play it, no one can appreciate it, it's just a weapon for me to kill people."
Mo Yan sighed and said regretfully: "What a pity. Such a good musical score, if you don't use it to kill people, there will definitely be many people who will appreciate it."
Qin You looked at the distant sky and said nothing.
Mo Yan thought for a moment, seemed to have thought of something, suddenly realized it, and said.
"Are you afraid that I will interfere with them if you don't intercept them?"
Qin You nodded, shook her head, and did not reply.
Mo Yan felt deeply ashamed and said, "I'm really sorry for causing you to miss the best opportunity."
Qin You laughed out loud. Her laughter was very charming. She looked into the distance with profound meaning and said the cruelest words in the gentlest voice.
"If you miss it, you miss it. In a few days, she will still die without a burial place."
After saying this, a ruthless look flashed across his eyes.
Mo Yan cleared his throat and said, "With your strength, it's not difficult to catch up with them now."
Qin You sighed, "If we chase them again, it won't be them, but me."
Mo Yan didn't know what she meant by her words. He wanted to ask, but when he looked up, he found that she had already left.
Mo Yan didn't stay too long and walked along the road, humming a little tune along the way. He didn't know how carefree he was.
Qin You returned to the Yuting chair and sat down, and asked, "If I had just made a move, would you have stopped me?"
Mubai pursed his lips, "I came here today just to stop you."
Qin You snorted coldly, "Your junior brother is sensible and doesn't like to meddle in other people's business."
Mu Bai came forward and sat opposite Qin You. He poured himself a cup of tea, took a sip and said calmly: "What he does is his business, what I do is mine. As for meddling in other people's business." , I also had no choice but to do it.”
Qin You stroked the strings, "Indeed...after all, you are the lord of Muyang City, and she is the seventh princess of the Shenying Dynasty, so you naturally want to protect her."
Mubai didn't reply, just smiled, picked up the tea cup, drank it, got up and left.
…………
Not far away, the people galloping on horseback slowly stopped and looked at the ten people wearing simple clothes in front of them.
Everyone recognized at a glance that the people blocking the road were bandits from the nearby mountains. They often robbed and committed murders on the only way back to the Shenying Dynasty. Even the officers and soldiers of the Shenying Dynasty were intercepted and asked for travel expenses. Shenying Dynasty After the Shadow Dynasty learned about this, they were helpless. After all, they dared to intercept the army of the Shadow Dynasty, and they must not be afraid of the prestige and power of the Shadow Dynasty in the world.
When a soldier in armor saw that they were a group of bandits, he was also furious and asked.
"You bunch of reckless bandits are becoming more and more bold now. Do you know who you are intercepting now?"
The bandit leader is a man with scars. The scars on his face are shocking. They stretch from the left side of his face to the right side of his face and are staggeringly long.
The scarred man disagreed and said with a smile.
"Tell me and let me see who it is."
The soldier cleared his throat and said loudly.
"Her Royal Highness the Seventh Princess of the Divine Shadow Dynasty."
The scene was in an uproar and there was a lot of discussion. The scarred man cleared his throat, and the younger brother behind him instantly became quiet and did not dare to say anything.
The scarred man showed no fear and smiled contemptuously.
"It turns out to be the famous Seventh Princess! I heard that you have been fighting at the border all year round and have made great achievements. Now it is said in the world that you are the God of Slaughter. Why do you want to return to the Shenying Dynasty today?"
The name of the Seventh Princess they are talking about is Ping Xuanlian. She is wearing a set of silver-white armor and has a snow-white long sword at her waist. The scabbard is engraved with a white lotus, and the hilt is also engraved with a white lotus. . Her face was covered with dust from the battlefield, but it couldn't hide her clear face, snow-white skin, and delicate face. She looked like she was only about eighteen years old. Even though she was fighting all year round, she could still see the look in Ping Xuanlian's eyes. I could see a trace of innocence and kindness, but the sharpness in the battlefield could not be seen in her eyes. She did not look like the God of Slaughter who was engaged in diplomatic battles all year round.
Ping Xuanlian wanted to speak, but the soldiers next to her stopped her.
"It's none of your business, just be smart and get out of here, otherwise... I will take off your head today."
The scarred man disagreed and laughed.
"Take my head off my neck, I'm afraid you're not dreaming."
Without saying a word, the soldier drew the sword from his waist, kicked off his toes, jumped from the horse, and stabbed the scarred man.
Ping Xuanlian did not stop.
The scarred man disagreed and said calmly.
"Even if you want to die so much, I will make it happen for you."
After saying this, a man in black standing behind the scarred man flicked his fingertips, and a tiny silver needle flew out from between his two fingers. No one saw the man in black take action.
Ping Xuanlian and the two men in black behind her noticed that the two men in black behind her were dressed the same as the men in black behind the scarred man, indicating that they were from the same sect.
Ping Xuanlian wanted to warn her, but it was too late. The silver needle pierced the armor on the soldier's chest and fell from the air. He fell to the ground and twitched, foaming from his mouth. After a cup of tea, he Lost his life.
Although the armor is not very hard, it is not easily pierced by a small silver needle, which shows that the man in black behind the scarred man has deep internal strength.
Because he has been fighting all over the world for many years, he has seen many such scenes, and his character is as solid as a rock. Therefore, there is no fear in everyone's eyes, but anger towards the man in black.
Ping Xuanlian asked after looking him over.
"You are also from the Shadow Pavilion."
The man in black behind the scarred man remained silent and did not answer her.
Ping Xuanlian didn't pay attention, but turned to look at the two men in black behind her, with confusion in her eyes.
The man in black was also sensible and nodded, confirming that he was also from the Shadow Pavilion.
A guard with a knife smiled contemptuously and said.
"It turns out there are people from the Shadow Pavilion in charge. No wonder they dare to act so wantonly."
The name of the guard waiting for the sword is Qin Tianlan. He is the personal bodyguard of Her Highness the Seventh Princess. They fight together on the battlefield. He is the same age as Her Highness the Seventh Princess, but the skin on his face is extremely rough and moderate. He looks like he is in his twenties or thirties. His eyes are It reveals the fierceness on the battlefield. He is wearing a set of silver armor with a scimitar at his waist. He is driving a black war horse, which is also the war horse that has been with him through life and death. His eyebrows are like blades, which are like blades on his waist. The scimitar seems to fit perfectly.
The scarred man sneered and said.
"In the past, there were no people from the Shadow Pavilion sitting in charge, so I was just as wanton and reckless. Please don't look down on me with your vulgar eyes."
The guard who was waiting for the sword wanted to speak, but Ping Xuanlian waved his hand to stop him. The guard who was waiting for the sword had no choice but to close his mouth. Ping Xuanlian tilted her head slightly and said to the two men in black behind her.
"If you are asked to get rid of him, will you do it?"
The man in black standing on the right said in a cold tone.
"Collect people's money and eliminate disasters for others. As long as you say a word, even if he and I are both from the Shadow Pavilion, I will help you get rid of him without hesitation."
Ping Xuanlian nodded, and was about to give an order, but was hurriedly interrupted by the scarred man, "Wait...wait..." The scarred man saw that there were two people from the Shadow Pavilion on the other side, which was a bit difficult to deal with. If the other side only had one, As a person from the Shadow Pavilion, he could still bet on himself. If he insisted on fighting with her opponent, it would definitely be disastrous. So he had to think of a perfect strategy to not fight her and get the money to buy him. His thoughts were running fast, and he suddenly realized that he was clear. He cleared his throat and said with a smile.
"I don't want to fight with Her Highness the Seventh Princess today. It's just that the brothers on the mountain haven't had enough to eat for a long time. Today they have to come out to collect some money for shopping. Why don't Her Highness the Seventh Princess show mercy and send us away with some silver, so that we can all There will be no loss.”
The guard who was waiting for the sword laughed out loud after hearing this, and said sarcastically: "You have nothing to lose, and you have gained something. You are daydreaming very well." His eyes moved to the saber on his waist, and with a funny smile, he said: " I've been on the road these days, and if the knife doesn't come out of its sheath, it might get rusty. I just happened to meet you today, so why not... have a fight and have fun, okay?"
The scarred man scratched his head, a little at a loss, his thoughts were running rapidly again, and he smiled.
"If we fight, both sides will inevitably suffer heavy losses. This is not what we want to see, so peace is the most precious thing. With the financial resources of Her Highness the Seventh Princess, there is no loss in losing a few taels of silver!"
Ping Xuanlian was kind-hearted and took out a bag of silver from her pocket. She didn't want to get too entangled with him. If she had to fight, the odds of winning would definitely be on her side, but she would also waste a lot of time here. There is something urgent to do now. Returning to the Shenying Dynasty must not take too long. Fortunately, losing a little silver can send him away. This way, he will not lose help, which must be a good thing.
The scarred man looked at the embroidery bag she was holding, a smile secretly appeared on his lips, and he couldn't wait for her to throw it over.
The guard waiting for the sword didn't understand and asked.
"Your Highness the Seventh Princess, we could have gotten rid of them, why did we use money to bribe them."
Ping Xuanlian looked at the embroidery bag in her hand, then at the scarred man, sighed and said.
"The National Master urgently summoned us back to the Shenying Dynasty. There must be something important, and we must not stay here for too long."
The sword-wielding guard who had been silent for a long time suddenly spoke.
"Your Highness, the Ninth Princess, naturally has her own plans for doing this. Just shut up!"
The name of the sword-wielding guard is Lin Haiyao. He has sword-shaped eyebrows and starry eyes. There is a small scar on the corner of his right eye that has scabbed. His skin color is dark yellow. He wears a set of silver armor. He has a silver sword at his waist. The middle finger of his right hand It seemed that a section had been broken and was wrapped in cloth. There was a gloomy look in his eyes. He was also the personal bodyguard of Her Royal Highness the Seventh Princess. He seldom spoke on weekdays.
The reason why I said this just now is that I don't want anyone to question the decision of Her Royal Highness the Seventh Princess. Even though Qin Tianlan's status is equal to Lin Haiyao, she still won't tolerate him.
Qin Tianlan knew his character and habits, so she just glanced at him and didn't pay attention to what he said.
Ping Xuanlian threw the embroidery bag in her hand towards the scarred man.
The scarred man looked impatient, jumped up, spread his hands and grabbed the embroidery bag.
Suddenly a man appeared, grabbed the embroidery bag in the air, and kicked it out. The scarred man was unprepared. When he reacted, it was too late to resist and he was kicked out.
Seeing that something was not going well, the man in black took a step forward and spread his hands to stop the man with the scar who was flying backwards. The inertia of the impact knocked the man in black back a few steps. Fortunately, he stood firm and the man with the scar was unharmed, but his waist was a little swollen. pain.
The man with the scar covered his waist and cursed with anger.
"You brat, you're looking for death!"
This person was Mo Yan, who was on the road and was a little bored. Mo Yan had been watching for a long time. He had been waiting for this moment for who knows how long. He didn't pay attention to the scarred man's anger. Instead, he shook the embroidery bag in his hand and turned to look at Ping Xuanlian said with a smile.
"Girl, thank you very much. Mo is ashamed to accept it."
Ping Xuanlian just smiled and didn't say anything.
When Mo Yan saw her smile, he instantly fell into it, unable to extricate himself. He swallowed, and a sweet smile appeared at the corners of his mouth unconsciously. His heart beat faster and faster, and he pursed his lips. It was like a heartbeat feeling, pure and natural, without pollution. Her smile really touched Mo Yan's heartstrings. He could never take his eyes away from her face, and her eyes were also very seductive.
When you take off the armor, you will be a beautiful lady who is captivating the country, which is a beautiful sight. When you put on the armor, you will be a handsome and charming female general, which is another beautiful sight.
It was really pleasing to the eye. It was also the first time that Mo Yan had such an unprecedented feeling for a woman. He really couldn't resist such a double-faced person.
