Jiaohua

The sky was always dark, the gray sea of ​​clouds covered the sky, and the wind in the mountains was strong. As they gradually descended, the wind in all directions gradually became howling.

The surroundings don't look like inhabited places, warblers fly, grass grows, forests are wanton, and the most common creature on the way is actually a snake.

Going to the bottom of the valley, walk southwest along the quiet river, bypass the vertical mountain wall, and the view in the distance suddenly becomes vast. Among the wild peach blossoms, the river irrigated by the waterfall winds through the lush peach forest, an elegant The beautiful bamboo fenced courtyard sits peacefully by the river.

Coincidentally, just as they were looking, a fast horse galloped towards this other industry from a farther horizon.

Xia Zhaoyi raised his eyes and looked at Shen Lie, his eyes suddenly brightened: "What do you want to eat now?"

"……what for?"

"Say it."

Shen Lie really likes her smiling eyes, and his black eyes are also stained with a smile: "Dumplings."

"Then I'll bet on the dumplings," Xia Zhaoyi said with a smile, "I'm sure Zhang Tengfei's bones are in that villa. If I'm wrong, I'll treat you to a bowl of dumplings."

"What if it's right?"

"I invite you to eat a dumpling."

"..."

Xia Zhaoyi's smile became brighter: "Let's go."

She walked around him and walked forward.

Shen Lie looked at her, and suddenly his smile became brighter, his eyes were deep and bright, the corners of his lips were light and gentle, and the cold and sharp air on his body seemed to be blown away by the mountain wind in the valley.

Before that, he always felt that they were too polite and alienated. He especially didn't like her thanking him, and always wanted to take a step closer to her, talking and laughing like she did to Lao Tong and Zhi Changle.

But now, the number of times she was amused with him gradually increased.

As he walked forward, Xia Zhaoyi's eyes became more surprised.

Except for the vast sky and earth that can't be seen at a glance in the southwest, the end of the sky in all directions is actually full of towering mountains.

This whole area of ​​Nagano actually grows in the mountains.

Because of the strong wind, the wind was chaotic, and there was no order, those peach petals came towards them from time to time and passed through them.

While walking, Xia Zhaoyi suddenly stopped.

Almost at the same time, Shen Lie also found a person hiding in the tree.

Because they deliberately walked in the densest forest and did not speak or communicate during the whole process, it was difficult for the man to find them in a short time.

Shen Lie raised the dagger in his hand, Xia Zhaoyi suddenly pressed his wrist lightly, looked at him and shook his head.

"Aren't you going to kill?" Shen Lie whispered.

"There are many traps here, let him lead the way, it will save trouble."

"Yeah." Shen Li nodded.

Xia Zhaoyi looked straight ahead of them, on the ground about ten steps away, half a foot above the ground, there was a long line that was almost transparent.

Xia Zhaoyi bent down quietly, picked up a few small stones, and struck one away with the fastest and most violent technique.

With a slight cracking sound, the long wire broke, the reels on both sides rolled rapidly, and a large net was pulled out from under the soft soil.

The guard hiding in the tree immediately looked in the direction of the movement and was on guard.

The big net alone was not something to be afraid of, but as the soil fell from the mesh, six sharp thorns appeared on the big net.

"It's because I don't want to keep alive." Shen Lie said in a deep voice.

"Yes." Xia Zhaoyi said casually, and hit the guard on the tree with the stone in his hand.

The guard, whose attention was drawn away by the big net, raised his hand to cover his forehead, and looked around.

Immediately afterwards, a stone hit from the other direction.

He stared wide-eyed for a long time, but there was no one there.

"Who!!" The guard shouted angrily.

Another stone hit, but in another direction.

No matter how hard it was for the guard to remain calm, he quickly got down from the tree and drew out his weapon.

"Here it is!" The girl's crisp voice suddenly sounded behind her.

The guard hurriedly turned around, and with a "snap", he was punched in the left eye without warning, so that he staggered backwards and fell to the ground.

But he reacted quickly, and then the carp straightened up, jumped up and slashed at the girl.

The knife freezes in mid-air.

An unshakable force grabbed his wrist, almost breaking his wrist bone.

The guard squinted his eyes and turned his head, meeting a pair of cold bottomless black eyes.

Xia Zhaoyi rubbed his finger bones, came over and raised his fist again, with a sound of "Aiyo", he stepped on a rolling stone and fell to the ground.

Shen Lie was shocked, and immediately went to help her: "Does it hurt from the fall?!"

The guard immediately slashed at them again.

Shen Lie got up and fought with him.

"My feet! Hiss, it hurts!" Xia Zhaoyi gasped.

Shen Lie couldn't take care of both ends, so he had to leave the guards alone to take care of the girl on the ground.

The guard who was beaten all over his head finally stopped fighting, took this opportunity to turn around in a hurry, ran towards the house, and first reported the news.

Seeing his leaving route, Shen Lie frowned and said, "Could we be too deliberate?"

Xia Zhaoyi also stared at the man's back, and smiled: "Deliberately or not, he still has to run, because he can't beat us."

"Come." Shen Lie pulled her.

Xia Zhaoyi patted his big palm lightly, like a high five, and said with a smile, "I'm not really hurt."

After speaking, get up by yourself.

Shen Lie looked down at his palm, and then at her.

The girl's bright eyes looked at the man's escape route without blinking, and there was a bit of cunning and interest in her eyes.

"Let's go!" Xia Zhaoyi turned his head and said to Shen Lie, "I've made a note."

Shen Lie paused, his expression returned to normal: "Yes."

Since they seldom show their faces in public, the guards of the Jin brothers almost never panic.

The guards who came running quickly made the soldiers of the Jin family who were drying the long bamboo in the courtyard look at him one after another.

The guard went straight to the study: "Master, something happened!"

Jin Shiwu, who was beating on the bones, raised his head, showing displeasure because of the guard's impatience: "Why panic?!"

The guard gasped for breath, and stretched his fingers to the northeast: "The outsiders broke in. It was a man and a woman, both of whom were extremely good-looking. The man was extremely powerful and skilled, while the woman was a little clumsy with injuries on her arms!"

"Outsiders!?" Jin Shiwu was shocked, "You mean, outsiders broke into our Taoling Xianju?"

"Yes!"

Lying on the other side of the study, Baye Jin, who was almost dreaming, opened his eyes: "An outsider broke in?"

As soon as he finished speaking, he heard the commotion of the Jin family's children from outside.

No sleepiness at all, Jin Baye immediately looked at Jin Shiwu, and spoke quickly: "Go and tell Twelve and the others immediately, be careful, I'll go out and have a look!"

Jin Shiwu nodded: "Okay!"

Jin Baye ran out quickly, just out of the study door, and before he got down the bamboo steps, he saw the Jin family's children running to grab the long bamboo and rush outside because they had no weapons at hand.

There was only one man standing outside the courtyard, tall and slender, tall and straight like a jade tree, the strong wind between heaven and earth blew the young man's cloud-colored floating moon brocade gown and the ponytail hanging behind him, his face was exactly as the guards said, Extremely good-looking and handsome.
