Hearing this, the man in gray smiled and said: "It turns out that it was not sent by Lord Marquis. It just so happened that I was not following the order of the island owner. I also heard that there was such a treasure in the palace of Chu Kingdom, so I made a special trip to see what it was. "
"That's it." Hei Pao nodded and said, "It turns out that we like the same thing."
The man in gray said: "I don't think we need to go to war. Since we all have the same interests, I dare to ask you two to lend me something for a few days and return it to you later."
The black robe smiled and said: "To be honest with you, we have admired this thing for a long time. It is not easy to get it today. Why not, let's take the thing away first. After a month, we will send it to Baiyun Island and hand it over to you. In your hands, this way, everyone will be harmonious, what do you think?"
The man in gray clothes shook his head and said: "It's a pity that I never wanted to spend the night with the thing I like. Since you two are not sent by the Marquis, even if we take action, we have nothing to do with these two old people."
The black robe sighed: "This is indeed the truth. The fight between you and me is purely our own misunderstanding and cannot be compared with the two old people." He raised an arm and said with a smile: "Please give me your advice." Turning his head slightly , but he winked at the man in black. The man in black immediately understood and slowly backed away. The man in gray frowned and moved slightly, but the man in black robe had already stepped forward to stop him and said with a smile: "Your Excellency, you are not going to fight with me." Shall I spar?"
The man in gray sighed: "Do you know that with the combined strength of the two of you, you might be able to fight me, but if you fight alone, within a hundred moves, I will definitely be able to kill you."
The black robe said: "I admire your Excellency's methods very much. It would be a pleasure to die in your hands."
"Do you want to trade your life for it?" The man in gray sighed.
The black robe said: "I said, since we got it, unless we die, this thing will not fall into the hands of others." He suddenly said in a low voice: "Let's go!" When he spoke, the person had already floated up, He rushed towards the man in gray clothes and slapped the man in gray clothes with both hands, but the man in gray clothes had already jumped up and waved his palms to greet him.
The man in black didn't hesitate at all. When the black robe took action, he left immediately.
The man in gray clothes wanted to pursue him, but he was entangled in the black robe and could not escape. He was distracted, and the black robe slapped him several times in succession. Not only was the man in gray clothes unable to take a step forward, but he was forced to take several steps back.
Qi Ning's heart tightened when he saw the man in black fleeing.
The men under the two great masters came to the Chu Palace to steal the treasure. Although Qining didn't know what it was, it must be of great importance. He didn't know whether this object would be related to the national destiny of Chu State, but he couldn't just watch the treasure. It was stolen, and he was about to get up to chase it, but there was a movement next to him. Chi Danmei had already rushed out of the bamboo forest first, like a cloud, floating out of the bamboo forest in the blink of an eye. Qining did not hesitate and followed immediately.
The two people rushed out of the bamboo forest one after another. Both the man in black robe and the man in gray were a little surprised. The man in black robe saw that Chi Danmei was very skilled and was obviously going to chase the man in black. He immediately wanted to stop the man in gray. When people saw Chi Danmei, they ducked to block the black robe, and their offensive and defensive positions were instantly changed.
Chi Danmei was like a spirit swallow, floating several feet away in the blink of an eye. The escaping man in black was also very good at martial arts, and disappeared in the blink of an eye. If Qining hadn't been so good at Qinggong, he would have been killed from the beginning. Being thrown away by two people.
He stared at Chi Danmei's figure, feeling the wind at his feet. Soon he saw the wall of Longyuan, and saw that the man in black had jumped up to the wall and jumped down from the wall. Chi Danmei followed quickly and twisted her waist. He stood up and jumped onto the wall.
Qi Ning chased him to the wall. Chi Danmei had already jumped down. He kicked off his feet fiercely, and his body jumped up lightly. He turned over the courtyard wall and looked down from above. The inside of the courtyard wall was indeed a royal garden with small bridges. The flowing water, the rockery and the bamboo forest were lush and green. The man in black was running along a road at this time, with Chi Danmei following closely behind. Qining clearly saw their position, jumped off the wall, and quickly chased after them.
The Royal Garden is naturally a place where no one is allowed to enter. There are no guards patrolling here at night, and it is peaceful.
Qi Ning chased in the garden in the direction he had just seen, but there were groups of rockeries and flowers in the imperial garden. In just this moment, there was no trace of Chi Danmei and the man in black.
Qining frowned, ran to the edge of a rockery, stopped, and walked forward slowly.
The layout of the Imperial Garden is unique, with not only small bridges, flowing water, pavilions, champagne pavilions, but also numerous rockeries.
At a glance, Qi Ning saw that apart from the dense flowers, the best place to hide was among the rockeries. Just then he saw the direction in which the two people were running, which was towards the rockeries. At this time, they lost two people. There are traces of people, and those two people are likely to be in this rockery group.
Dozens of man-made rockeries are scattered in this area irregularly, like a maze. Qining thought that this was probably a place where the female relatives in the palace played hide and seek.
He slowly moved forward between the gaps in the rockery, being careful and cautious, and gradually went deep into the rockery. Under the night, there were rockeries everywhere. It was really easy to get lost among them. At this moment, a strong wind suddenly rose next to him. Ning was wary and immediately dodged. A figure slapped him from the side. Qin Ning barely dodged it and turned to look over. It was the man in black. The man in black put on a close-fitting black night suit and covered his face. The black scarf was a bit far away in the bamboo forest and could not be seen clearly. Now it was close at hand, and the other party's graceful figure outlined by the night clothes was completely revealed.
The man in black slapped the air with his palm and was a little surprised when he saw Qi Ning. When Qi Ning saw the eyes of the man in black, his heart tightened and he stared at the eyes of the man in black.
Those eyes were as clear as water, and their beautiful eyes were like the cleanest stars in the night sky. Seeing those eyes, Qining couldn't help but step forward and whispered: "It's me!"
There was doubt in the eyes of the man in black, but the doubt flashed past, and he became extremely cold and stern in an instant. He slowly backed away. When Qi Ning saw that she was leaving, he immediately stepped forward. The man in black immediately raised his head. Qining said anxiously: "Xian'er, it's me!"
Qi Ning had seen the woman's back in the bamboo forest before and felt that she had seen her before. He had not thought of it at first, but when he heard the woman talking to the man in gray, he immediately judged from the voice that the woman was Zhuo Xian'er.
Qi Ning captured Duan Qingchen on the Qinhuai River that day. In order to save Tang Nuo, he took Tang Nuo on Zhuo Xian'er's boat. But after that, Zhuo Xian'er disappeared out of thin air and was never heard from again. Qi Ning sent people to secretly After searching, there was still no news about Zhuo Xianer. He was worried but could do nothing.
But I never expected that I would meet Zhuo Xianer in the palace tonight.
I heard earlier that the black robe claimed to be a subordinate of Mu Yunhou of the Northern Han Dynasty. If this is true, of course Zhuo Xianer is also from the Northern Han Dynasty, and she has been making a living on the Qinhuai River. Of course, she is hiding her identity, but she is actually from the Northern Han Dynasty. A detailed work placed in Chu State.
Although Qi Ning and Xian'er are not actually married, he is very familiar with Xian'er's figure and voice, especially Xian'er's clear and spiritual eyes, which Qi Ning can recognize at first sight.
When Xian'er and Qi Ning first got along, her clear eyes were always as gentle as water and full of affection. Because of this, Qi Ning felt Xian'er's gentleness as water and fell in love with this girl.
But the eyes of the woman in front of her were almost exactly the same as Xian'er's, but there was no longer the warmth in her eyes. Instead, they were very cold and stern, like biting ice blades.
Logically speaking, it was impossible for Zhuo Xianer not to recognize him when he saw him, but Qining clearly saw strangeness and alienation in the eyes of the woman opposite him. His heart sank slightly, but he still said: "You have disappeared for so long. , have you come to the palace? It turns out you are from the Northern Han Dynasty, why... have you kept hiding it from me? "
The man in black had a confused look in his eyes, and finally said in a low voice: "Who are you?"
"You don't know me?" Qi Ning was startled and said with a wry smile: "You really don't know me?" But he thought in his heart, did Zhuo Xianer deliberately pretend not to know her
The man in black snorted coldly, not talking nonsense, backed away slowly, turned around suddenly, and was about to leave. At this moment, a figure flashed out from the side at a very fast speed. Although the man in black had already realized that something was wrong, But he still couldn't react in time. The figure slapped the man in black from the side. The man in black flew sideways and was about to land on the rockery. However, the figure followed him like a shadow, reaching out to grab the things in the hands of the man in black. Another leg flew out and kicked the man in black on the waist. The body of the man in black was immediately separated from the thing. The figure grabbed the treasure, but the man in black had already crashed into a rockery.
The materials used in this royal garden are of course not ordinary things. Even the rockery is made of hard rock. The flesh and blood body of the man in black hit the rockery and made a "bang" sound, and then his whole body After falling from the rockery, the man in black screamed as soon as he hit the ground. However, his face was covered with a black scarf, but the blood in his mouth was blocked by the black gold and could not be sprayed out.
Qi Ning also saw clearly at this time that the figure taking the opportunity to pounce from the side was none other than Chi Danmei.
Chi Danmei snatched the thing, with a hint of joy on her face, staring at the man in black and saying: "I have been searching for this in the palace for a long time, but I can't find it, but I got it from you today. I really want to thank you." ”
The man in black lay limp on the ground. It looked like he was seriously injured by Chi Danmei's slap, but he suddenly jumped up from the ground and reached out to grab Chi Danmei. Qining saw that the man in black was also at the end of his strength. It was nothing more than using up the last bit of strength to attack Chi Danmei. Chi Danmei did not dodge, holding the thing in one hand, but the other hand had already reached out. She had already grabbed the wrist of the man in black, and with a After pulling away, the man in black flew out again and hit the rockery with his back.
Qi Ning was shocked: "Don't do it!"
He knew that Chi Danmei was very good at martial arts. The man in black was hit by Chi Danmei's palm and was seriously injured. He could still be Chi Danmei's opponent. If Chi Danmei really killed him, the man in black would definitely lose his life. No guarantee.
