Adore Trick of Beauty

The driver couldn't help but tremble when he heard the man's voice, and lowered his head in shame: "Since three years ago... Eunuch Yang has been managing people and affairs in the palace alone."

The young and pale man was startled when he heard the words, and then suddenly remembered, the corners of his thin lips curved bitterly: "I forgot again, it turns out that it has been three years..."

The man who drove the carriage stopped the carriage, unloaded the horses, and tidied them up neatly. After a while, he had lit a bonfire and started boiling water. The light of the fire went out, dispelling the darkness of the night.

Xiao Fengqing sat on the big stone, staring at the fire in trance. The flickering firelight illuminated his sharp and handsome face, and there was an unknown deep thought in his deep amber eyes.

"Sir, please drink some hot water." The driver respectfully handed over the water bag.

Xiao Fengqing took it and took a slow sip. They galloped non-stop all day and night, and neither master nor servant used any food. The hot water warmed the empty stomach, and Xiao Fengqing came back from her thoughts.

He looked at his loyal subordinates who had been following him for more than ten years and couldn't help but said: "Thank you for your hard work, Ah Si."

Ah Si was stunned when he heard the words, and then came back to his senses. There was already a little water in his eyes: "No... it's not hard. My Lord is doing well, and I feel good about it." He was trying to express something clumsily, but it was Unable to speak.

Three years ago, when he heard that the emperor ordered Xiao Fengqing to die, he almost led people to make a fuss in the palace and kill the emperor, regardless of whether he was a wise emperor or a good emperor. He only knows that he killed his master and he deserves to die! But the night before he decided to take action, Xiao Fengqing came to him with a pale face and took some of his old men away from the capital, hiding their names. In the past three years, he had watched him live in seclusion in a secluded and uninhabited place. From time to time he would suddenly go out at night, and then come back a few days later exhausted.

The master felt pain in his heart. Even the dullest person felt this.

He didn't understand what love was, but he just felt that his master should have a woman following him. Although she was not the embarrassed and beautiful woman who blocked their way a few years ago, she should at least be gentle and kind, so that she would be perfect for his master.

"No need to say anything, I understand. Thank you, Ah Si!" Xiao Fengqing patted Ah Si's generous shoulder. The master and servant have a tacit understanding for a long time, and there is no need to explain everything so clearly.

The two of them drank water in silence to relieve the fatigue from traveling for days. The night wind blew by, and the dense forests on both sides seemed to hide some monsters, roaring in a low voice. Such a gloomy night seems to be an ominous omen. Suddenly there was a soft "click" in the dense forest, and Xiao Fengqing suddenly raised her head. Ah Si also heard the sound, and he quickly held down the long knife that never left his waist. The air was gradually filled with a faint murderous aura.

Xiao Fengqing took out a black scarf from her arms and covered half of her face, and a cold look gradually passed through her eyes.

The people here are not kind. After he personally found out some things, there is always a tail following behind him. This time, can they not hold back? He slowly drew out the long sword beside him and gestured to Ah Si.

Ah Si nodded, took out a dark tube from his pocket, and lit it.

A sharp sound came from mid-air, and the tube lit the fuse, exploding a blue firework in mid-air. At this moment, the black shadows hiding in the dense forest quickly jumped out, and they rushed towards the two people beside the campfire silently.

Xiao Fengqing's eyes turned cold, and the long sword in her hand let out a long groan, like a bright rainbow, crossing the assassin's eyes. His sword strikes were hard and fast, and in an instant it had pierced the chests of the first two assassins. His fierce murderous intent made the assassins behind him stunned.

"Who are you?!" The assassin's leader looked at Xiao Fengqing in surprise. They followed him all the way and investigated secretly, but they could not find out any details about the man in front of them. He was like a ghost, with no past and no future, as if he appeared out of thin air. But what he did happened to be taboo to the master behind them.

Xiao Fengqing remained silent, her strange-colored eyes narrowed coldly, and the sword in her hand swept away at the assassins mercilessly.

"My lord, you go first!" Ah Si stood in front of him, waving a sword that looked sharp but concealed murderous intent: "Leave these little minions to my subordinates to deal with them!"

As Si said, he swung his sword wider and wider, instantly disrupting the formation of a group of assassins. Xiao Fengqing was well aware of Ah Si's ability, so she looked at it with her hands behind her hands for a while, then jumped into the darkness.

"Don't let him escape!" The assassin's leader shouted angrily when he saw Xiao Fengqing missing.

"You want my lord's life! Dream on!" Ah Si sneered and shouted loudly. The long knife in his hand transformed into thousands of shadows, and stopped the assassins who were chasing Xiao Fengqing.

In the dark night, Xiao Fengqing quickly passed through the forest in the right direction for more than half an hour. Only then did he stop.

It was very quiet in the forest, so quiet that you could hear the wind blowing through the leaves.

"The friends behind you can show up now." Xiao Fengqing said coldly.

A straight black shadow stood out from the tree trunk more than ten feet away like a ghost. He was wearing black attire and a black scarf on his face, revealing only a pair of sharp eyes.

He held the sword and asked: "How do you know that I am a friend?"

Xiao Fengqing smiled: "Since you don't want to kill me, of course we are friends."

The man walked forward slowly and said silently: "I'm just curious about what kind of person Qiushui Pavilion can hunt down."

Xiao Fengqing's back was turned to him, and his face was covered by a scarf. He smiled: "Qiushui Pavilion? My life is so valuable."

"Of course, because the evidence in your hands is very unfavorable to a certain person. I thought that person's price was too low for a thousand taels of gold." The black figure smiled contemptuously, as if he was very disdainful of the person behind the scenes.

Ouch, Qingqing finally appeared again. The first and second updates were probably around 9 o'clock. Sorry, I spent the whole day revising the manuscript.
