Rather than walking, it’s better to say “floating”!
In the dark night, neither Qin Mubai nor the three of them could clearly see how the other party moved. Unless they have undergone special training and have excellent hearing and high alertness, most people would have difficulty noticing that the other party is approaching.
Hearing the violent shouts of Qin Mubai and others, the other party stopped.
"You are not ordinary people, you can actually hear my footsteps."
Qin Mubai and the other three people frowned at the same time: "She is indeed a woman!"
The voice is still young. If it weren't for the fact that it was a bit scary to hear this voice in the cemetery in the dark night, this woman's voice was actually quite pleasant.
Qin Mubai gestured to put away the knife, and then said: "Who is the girl? Why are you here in the middle of the night?"
"This is what I should ask you." The other party's voice was as cold as ice, with almost no emotion at all. "You came to this lonely grave in the middle of the night. What did you do?"
"Pay homage to the dead." Qin Mubai replied.
"Why don't you hold the memorial ceremony in the daytime?" the female voice said, "Unless you have some shady activities!"
"How presumptuous!" a soldier yelled angrily, "My general has kindly come to pay homage to Zhu Chengwen, a lonely ghost. It's your turn to preach!"
"court death!!!"
With a venomous scolding, the other party suddenly took action!
I saw the phantom like a sword, and I don't know what kind of wonderful movement the woman used, but she actually flew towards the ground flatly like this. The night was as dark as ink, but there was a hint of cold light that reflected the only starlight flashing past.
"What a fast sword!" The three of them said in surprise at the same time.
No need for Qin Mubai to say anything, the two pawns beside him drew their swords and attacked!
"Bang bang bang!"
In an instant, after several rounds and two screams, the two Hundred Cavalry pawns fell to the ground on the left and right, covering the same place - their right shoulders and fell to the ground.
Qin Mubai was shocked: What a powerful martial arts! The Hundred Cavalry Soldiers, who were able to fight one against ten with no problem against an ordinary strong sergeant, were actually defeated by this female swordsman within three moves against two against one!
ox!
After the two pawns fell to the ground, regardless of their injuries, a carp suddenly stood up and stood up again. Before they could stand still, the phantom appeared in front of them as fast as a spark and kicked each of them in the Tanzhong point on their chests.
Its speed was so fast that Qin Mubai almost had a hallucination.
This woman's martial arts skills are amazing!
After two screams, the two hundred-horse pawns could no longer stand up. He was rolling on the ground and convulsing while holding his chest and abdomen.
With a quick "swish" sound, a sword was handed to Qin Mubai's throat.
Qin Mubai didn't move, looking straight at the other person with bright eyes, but he couldn't see her face clearly. Because she was wearing a "palace-brimmed hat" that was popular in Guan, it was shaped like a bamboo hat, but had a long black silk scarf hanging from the edge, covering her shoulders.
But Qin Mubai saw a pair of extremely beautiful and cold eyes.
The eyes are like stars and moons, slightly curved, with very long eyelashes, but their eyes reveal infinite murderous intent and violence, and there is also a vague look of despair that is too painful to live in and gives up all thoughts.
Qin Mubai remembered a post he had seen online before. It is said that women with long eyelashes tend to have bad tempers. A woman with crescent-shaped eyes and bright eyes, smart and considerate.
But these two points appeared in the woman in front of him at the same time.
"It's your turn." The cold voice made people feel that this woman was just a ghost, without any emotion at all.
"You won't kill me." Qin Mubai was no longer anxious. He put his hands on his back and looked directly into her eyes calmly and said, "If you want to kill me, there are many opportunities along the way. Just now, you He didn’t kill my two brothers.”
With a "swish" sound, the female swordsman put away her sword, and with a "bang" sheathed the sword in an extremely decisive and unrestrained way.
"I'm asking you a question. If you answer well, I'll let you go. If you answer poorly, all three of you will die." The female swordsman turned her back and said coldly.
With shoulders as sharp as daggers and long hair like waterfalls, the back lines of this female swordsman are extremely soft and delicate.
"Say it." Qin Mubai smiled to himself and replied.
"Who killed Zhu Chengwen?"
"have no idea."
"Death! -" Before he could finish his violent rebuke, a flash of sword light flashed across Qin Mubai's throat.
How could this woman be so unreasonable!
With no time to think about it, Qin Mubai hurriedly shook his head and lowered his waist, and the tip of the sword barely touched his throat.
Violent! Really going to kill someone!
Qin Mubai couldn't help feeling a little angry. He just avoided the sword and suddenly let out a deep shout. He leaped on the spot and kicked the empty door on the female swordsman's shoulder.
This kick swept through thousands of armies! Even the thickest wooden piles will be swept away!
However, the female swordsman didn't seem to be in the slightest panic. When the sword was a little weak, her dexterous wrist flicked the sword back to the side. At the same time, she dodged Qin Mubai's attack with a sideways thrust, and instantly stretched out her hand to follow Qin Mubai's leg movement. There was a pile of four or two pounds on his calf. Qin Mubai's figure flying in the air suddenly lost his center of gravity. He was startled and hurriedly rolled over and fell to the ground.
"Good work!" Qin Mubai slowly stood up and stared at the seemingly frail female swordsman in front of him.
You really can’t underestimate this woman!
"I ask again, how did Zhu Chengwen die?" The female swordsman still spoke in a calm tone without any emotion.
"Are you his relative?" Qin Mubai frowned and asked.
"I'm asking you a question!"
"But I don't have to answer!" Qin Mubai said solemnly, "I know even if you don't tell me, you are Zhu Chengwen's relative or close friend. In the past few days, you have been crying in front of his grave. Just now you In fact, he was there, but he suddenly heard the sound of our footsteps, so he hurriedly evacuated. His hand was accidentally scratched by the tombstone, and a thin thread was torn off his sleeve - look at the lines on the left cuff. There are strange twisted shapes where some silk has been pulled away.”
The female swordsman was startled for a moment, then raised her left arm to take a suspicious look. Sure enough, as Qin Mubai said, there was a trace of scraping.
"You are very smart and very skilled. You are definitely not an ordinary person." The female swordsman said in a deep and cold voice, "I heard what you just said in front of his grave. Did you tell it to me on purpose? Say, you Who is he?"
"Actually, we should not be enemies, but friends. Because we have a common enemy." Qin Mubai did not answer his question, but said, "This enemy is the murderer of Zhu Chengwen!"
"Tell me quickly, who killed him?!" The female swordsman got a little excited and shouted sharply.
"It's not completely certain yet." Qin Mubai said, "I came here specifically to investigate the death of Zhu Chengwen. But you stopped and hurt my people. I really don't know whether you are an enemy or a friend. ”
The female swordsman was startled for a moment, and after a long silence, she said: "Because you are too suspicious, who would come to pay homage in the middle of the night? I have been here for almost half a month, except for an old man who is hunting occasionally. Clean up the tomb, no one has come yet, can I not be suspicious of you? And now, I still doubt you because you have not given any evidence for me to trust you!"
"You are very smart." Qin Mubai nodded slowly with a solemn expression, "You wanted to avenge Zhu Chengwen, but you had no clues, so you went to his grave and waited. Do you believe that he died of murder? So the person who can come to pay homage to him is either his friend or his enemy, and may even be the murderer himself. In this way, you can ask for information and clues. Therefore, you are definitely not Zhu Chengwen's close friend in Jiangzhou. You are not familiar with this place, and since you are wearing clothes made of Jiangnan Hu silk, I guess you are probably Zhu Chengwen’s wife back home!”
The female swordsman's delicate body was startled, and her pair of bright eyes instantly brightened up a little bit. She nodded reluctantly: "Yes! I am Zhu Chengwen's unmarried wife! It is natural for husbands to repay their hatred and wives to retaliate. I No matter who kills my husband, whether he is a commoner or a nobleman, a god or a demon, I will kill him to avenge my husband! "
Qin Mubai frowned in confusion: "But I heard that Zhu Chengwen has been married in his hometown for many years and has given birth to children. But you said that you are his unmarried wife. How can you say that?"
"None of your business!"
"It must be made clear!" Qin Mubai said tit for tat, "Otherwise, I cannot trust you and confirm your identity. This is very important. Otherwise, I have reason to suspect that you are an assassin hired by the murderer. In addition to wanting to assassinate us, you also intend to sneak in. Among Us, spying.”
"You are very cunning! This is my private matter and I shouldn't tell you. But he is dead now, so there is no harm in telling you!" The female swordsman turned around, held the sword in both hands, walked slowly for a few steps, and said, "Zhu Chengwen is a good man who values love and justice. Four years ago, his wife passed away due to illness, leaving behind a several-year-old daughter. At that time, he was not an official yet, just a poor scholar. . He is very responsible and honest, and although his family is very poor, he lives a wonderful life. I met him, fell in love with him, and wanted to marry him. His bones were not yet cold, and secondly, he was poor and unworthy of me, so I asked him to wait until he was named on the gold medal list. Later, he went to Beijing to take the Ming Jing exam and passed the examination. The county magistrate of Shan County. But he was very satisfied and thought that being a parent official was not a bad thing, so he settled down in Jishan and took care of his children at home. We agreed to reunite in Jishan after three years. Unexpectedly, what I received was the news that he committed suicide out of fear of crime!”
At this point, the female swordsman's beautiful eyes suddenly flashed with murderous intent: "Someone must have murdered him! He was poor and upright, and even though he was starving and fainting, he refused to accept the food sent by his relatives and friends. Such a person , it is absolutely impossible for him to commit corruption and pervert the law! He has always hated corrupt officials who prey on his neighbors, so how could he become such a person? Moreover, he wrote me a letter half a year ago. There were ominous words... Unfortunately, I didn't pay attention to it at the time, thinking that he was just complaining because he was lonely in a foreign land. Unexpectedly... "
Qin Mubai's heart suddenly brightened: "Do you have correspondence with him? Did he ever send you anything? For example, books and account books or something like that?"
