Jiaohua

Going northwest along the peach forest, the peach trees are gradually replaced by deep and dense forests.

The wind was howling, and thousands of trees were piled on top of each other. A swordsman rushed through the long road opened in the forest and rushed to the depths of the forest.

In the depths of the forest, it suddenly became clear that a clear lake of thousands of hectares spread out like a picture scroll, and the swordsman stepped on the narrow and straight long stone bridge on the lake to the center of the lake.In the night, the shadow of a huge building looms in the middle of the lake, like a sleeping beast that rises at any time.

On the other side, the swordsman ran to the right: "My lord! My lord!"

"What's the noise?" A deep middle-aged male voice sounded in the darkness.

Accompanied by the male voice, the sound of steady footsteps came slowly from the deep side of the palace.

Recognizing the voice, the swordsman gasped and said, "The chief guard, that woman, Ah Li from Qiao's family, she came to kill her!"

"He's here to kill, what do you mean?" The middle-aged man's voice was calm and slow, "Is she leading her army, but I don't see any boats on the river, Tao Anling is different."

"She only had one whip, and she came out of the tunnel!"

"True? Could it be that something happened to the brothers of the Jin family." The chief guard stepped forward with his hands behind his back, stopped in front of the stone railing of the broad platform, and looked towards the southeast.

He has a very tall and burly figure, and in the violent river wind, he wears a black jacket that hides in the cold wind and night, like a charm.

After a while of silence, the long guard said lightly: "Tianming."

A hidden guard came out of the darkness and said respectfully: "Long guard!"

"Let all the archers prepare, I will make this woman's heart pierced by ten thousand arrows."

The dark guard looked up at him: "Chief guard, do you need to ask Mr. Nangong for instructions?"

"No need, the lord has given me the power to defend everything here."

"Yes!"

The dark guard turned and left.

The swordsman watched the dark guard go away, thought for a while, and said, "Chief guard, that woman is injured and has blood on her arm, maybe we can capture her alive."

The long guard didn't look at him, but kept his eyes on the other side, and said indifferently: "No need."

He had heard of the girl's reputation for a long time, facing such a powerful enemy, he could only get rid of it immediately, it would be dangerous to tolerate it for a long time.

·
More and more swordsmen came, except for the three swordsmen who confronted Xia Zhaoyi first, more than ten more came out.

Everyone raised their swords one after another, and looked at the girl holding the whip standing in the peach forest, not daring to relax.

There was a fierce battle just now, only a little blood was stained on the girl's skirt, and her broken hair was a little messy, I don't know if it was caused by the fighting or the river wind.

Behind her, the corpses were spread messily on the peach petals. The blood was splashed horizontally and burst into bloom, which was in stark contrast to her cold and peaceful temperament.

Xia Zhaoyi looked at the newcomers with a cold smile in his bright eyes.

After looking at the three swordsmen one by one, she looked back at the original three swordsmen, and walked forward slowly: "He is much more 'polite' than you, when you attacked me in the past, you didn't say anything, no discussion was allowed, see, this is the end of ignorance. "

She just took a step forward, and all the swordsmen immediately backed away, all guarded, staring at her.

Seeing them like this, Xia Zhaoyi blinked her bright eyes, and suddenly bent her lips into a smile: "It's fine, if you don't want to take me to meet your leader, then you can stay and listen to what I have to say."

None of the swordsmen made a sound, their eyes were all locked on her, with disgust and strong contempt in their hatred.

"If you want to procrastinate, just procrastinate." Xia Zhaoyi put his hands behind his back, raised his chin, and said savagely, "If you insist on stopping me here, when my people arrive, you will have to take the blame. .Why don’t you be smarter and take me alone to find your leader, are you afraid that I won’t be able to smash the sky?”

She mentioned the word "lifting the sky", but the three swordsmen really thought that if she wanted to, she could really do it.

"It's strange to say." Xia Zhaoyi stepped forward again, this time without stopping, walking slowly.

The crowd retreated, gradually encircling her, trapping her in the middle.

"I have lived for so long, and I have rarely seen people who all look exactly the same for eighteen generations. The brothers of the Jin family have opened my eyes. You are different from them. No matter your body shape or appearance, you are the same as the Jin family. The brothers are completely different. Looking at your swords and moves, you should be named Fang." The girl said as she walked.

The men didn't speak, and stared at her closely, still with the same expressions as before.

"Speaking of the surname Fang, when I was at Ruan's house in the south, I saw a funeral. The person who was buried seemed to be...Fang Ji, right?"

Xia Zhaoyi smiled lightly: "It's just a person who died without guilt, but you want so many poor people who just want to eat for him to be buried with him. These poor people traveled over mountains and mountains to escort the coffin sent by Fang to the mountain so far away. , What you get in exchange is your silence."

"However," Xia Zhaoyi's smile brightened, "Heaven pays attention to retribution, and I am your retribution."

"Demon girl, you deserve to die!" A man suddenly cursed.

"Okay, I'll stand here, and you come and kill me, come on." Xia Zhaoyi said to him.

Compared to the girl's slightly sly and clear voice, the blade in the man's hand trembled due to the master's anger, making a buzzing sound.

Xia Zhaoyi smiled: "It seems that you really belong to the Fang family. I didn't see you on the mountain that day, and you were not with the group that was buried. This is a strange thing. Fang Ji seems to have a high status in the Fang family." Why didn't all Fang's family members attend his burial? It's not far away, but in Hengxiang."

"I thought about it. There are countless reasons, but one of the most likely reasons is that you have more important people and things that you need to stay. If you guess correctly, it should be in the front. Could it be that you shouted He is the 'lord', and a man who has lived for hundreds of years?"

The faces of the men changed in an instant, and their gazes at her became more severe.

Xia Zhaoyi's brows and eyes were still brisk and smiling, but his heart turned cold and surprised.

These people didn't speak, but their expressions confirmed her guess.

"Do you know Hou Rui?" Xia Zhaoyi asked again.

The expressions of the men also gave her the answer.

"Then," Xia Zhaoyi narrowed his eyes, "Have you ever chopped up a man's body and seriously injured his companion a few days ago?"

The moonlight was getting brighter and brighter, Xia Zhaoyi saw the disdain and sarcasm on their faces, and smiled slightly: "It seems that it is really you."

The man who was one of the three swordsmen yelled: "Demon girl, you killed dozens of us, how will the account be settled?!"

"Then let's figure it out," Xia Zhaoyi said with a shake of Qian Sibi, "but I have to ask one more question."

She shook like this, and everyone immediately mobilized their whole bodies to watch her vigilantly.

"Who is the man whose hands and feet are chained in the dark underground hall?" Xia Zhaoyi asked.

The impatience and irritability on the men's faces increased.

Xia Zhaoyi looked at them and smiled faintly: "Well, it seems that at least they are not from the Qiao family."
