The carriage stopped moving, the surroundings were noisy for a while, and the silence gradually returned.
"Open the curtain and have a look!"
Qing Qiao put the golden hairpin on Duan Yu's eyes, not daring to relax for a moment.
Duan Yu lazily raised the corners of his mouth: "They are indeed gone, you don't have to worry. Wu Yiwei has always obeyed what he said to me."
Qing Qiao snorted coldly, and gently sent the tip of the hairpin forward, a red mark appeared at the corner of Duan Yu's eye.
"If you don't want to lose your appearance, quickly open the curtain!" She threatened him fiercely.
Duan Yu opened the silk curtain obediently, Qing Qiao looked around, and the place was completely dark, and there was no one in sight.
"...you drive the carriage and follow the route I told you!" She breathed a sigh of relief, then turned around and gave orders to Duan Yu.
Duan Yu looked at her quietly, with a strange smile: "What kind of poison is it in you?"
Qing Qiao was stunned, thinking how could this guy still have the mood to study this
"Don't you know
! She gave him a hard look, "Isn't it you who poisoned me?" "
"Who poisoned you, I think Xiao Qiao should know better than me." Duan Yu said slowly, "I'm just curious, who would rather take the risk of being poisoned and ask you to leave here?"
There was a shrewd gleam on his face, and his eyes flickered like thousands of flowers blooming and withering.
"Stop talking nonsense!" Qing Qiao didn't want to tangle with him, "Why don't you drive the carriage? If you don't go to my hairpin, you'll poke it down!"
"...you just do it." Duan Yu smiled calmly.
Uh? Qing Qiao never expected his attitude to change so quickly—why suddenly he didn't care
"You, aren't you afraid?"
"Don't be afraid." Duan Yu fell back carelessly, looking like he was being slaughtered, "You should do it, I'll wait."
Holding the golden hairpin in her hand, Qing Qiao hesitated for a moment. Although she spoke harshly, she had never done anything to hurt anyone, so she couldn't help feeling startled at this moment.
At the moment she was hesitating, suddenly there was a fierce palm wind howling.
In a blink of an eye, when she came to her senses, the golden hairpin in her hand had already fallen into Duan Yu's hands.
"The kindness of a woman!" Duan Yu sneered with his hands on the hairpin, "You obviously have a chance."
Qing Qiao felt a sudden blackness in front of her eyes.
"Do you think I'm afraid of being disfigured? Are I afraid of becoming disabled?" The corners of his mouth were bent into a sinking arc, and the cold light in his eyes was like a shooting star. "Little Qiao, you underestimate me!"
"... What, what do you want?" Qing Qiao was angry and anxious, panicked in her heart, and couldn't help vomiting another mouthful of blood.
"What do I want?" Duan Yu leaned down, slowly wiped off the red color from the corner of her mouth, and said expressionlessly, "What do you think I want?"
"... stop making trouble
. He sighed, with helplessness in his eyes, "You always have to go to the palace, you have to confess your sins, and the poison on your body... will be cured, so don't try to escape anymore, you can't escape. "
"Hahaha..." Qing Qiao looked up to the sky and laughed, with a sad and indignant tone, "I don't know why! Why didn't you run away? Do you want me to stay here stupidly, waiting for you to kill me for a trumped-up crime?!"
"—I bah!" She spat a mouthful of bloody foam at Duan Yu, and snorted through her teeth, "I never thought about returning to the country at all, why should I admit it? Why?!"
Duan Yu remained silent, the situation in his eyes was full of unpredictable changes, full of color.
"It's up to you."
He finally spoke, his tone was cold and piercing.
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw his long and slender fingers move a little faster on several places on her body, and Qing Qiao's whole body stiffened suddenly.
"You pervert, you actually tap my acupuncture points! You fuck! You have kidney deficiency! You're going to die!" She cursed with tears in her eyes, wishing she could peel his skin, pull his tendons, eat his flesh and drink his blood.
"Oh? You understand again?" He wasn't annoyed, he just gave a dust-free glance in the air, turned around and went to lift the curtain of the carriage.
"You, where are you going?" Qing Qiao couldn't help asking because her scalp was numb from his look.
"Of course I listen to your words and drive." His voice came calmly from the dark and damp outside the curtain.
"—But this time, the route is up to me to decide."
Just as Qing Qiao was about to scold someone, there was a "poof", the curtain of the door suddenly opened wide, and a white wave struck her like lightning, circled around her body, and then pulled her back quickly, like a dragon.
Duan Yu's gaze froze, and he grabbed Qing Qiao with his backhand. It's a pity that Bai Lian's backward speed is really weird. Even though he moves nimbly, he can only grab half of the corner of the skirt.
"Chila!" The corner of the skirt suddenly came off the clothes, and the voice was abrupt in the quiet night, extremely clear.
All happened in the blink of an eye.
"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh?" Qing Qiao was sealed up all over and couldn't move, so he could only watch as Bai Lian rolled himself into the night sky
. Her face quickly passed by the wind and fireflies, one after another, and she couldn't help getting excited.
Ah, this is flying, so this is the feeling of flying in the legend?!
With the cold wind whistling in her ears, she lowered her eyes to look at Duan Yu, and found that he was standing there motionless, looking straight at her from a distance.
The starlight all over the sky fell in his pupils, converging into countless streams of light.
"Shayonara!"
She threw out such a sentence lightly from her mouth, and it didn't matter whether he understood it or not, as long as she had style.
Fireworks splashed everywhere, and something exploded in the haze with a bang.
She just disappeared into the night wind.
——————— Separation line with style—————————
"why you?"
This was the first sentence that Qing Qiao uttered after landing.
The person on the other side smiled naively: "Otherwise, who do you think it is?"
"So you use such a woman's weapon?" Qing Qiao grabbed the white silk on her body.
"In a moment of urgency, forced by the situation, hehe, hehe."
"You old bald donkey! Fatty!" Qing Qiao slammed his head and face at him, "Almost killed my aunt and me!"
Master Kongkong backed away from left to right, and said embarrassingly while hiding: "Benefactor, if you have something to say, please speak! Pay attention to your image, image!"
When Qing Qiao heard that her arrogance became even stronger, she became furious: "Your mother image! Tell me, why did you lie to me? How did I offend you!"
Master Kongkong clasped his hands together and bowed politely to her: "Amitabha, benefactor, monks don't tell lies, when did I lie to you?"
"Hmph, you still don't admit it? Do you know why I was locked up?" Qing Qiao wished to strangle the smiling Buddha with Bai Ling, "Tell me! What are the four spirits for? Where did the Tianyi theory come from? Am I the orphan of the royal family of the Bianmu Kingdom? What is the plum blossom seal all about?"
Faced with her questioning questions, Master Kongkong just smiled slightly: "Benefactor, it is true that the four spirits can help you go home."
. "
With four or two strokes of a thousand catties, Qing Qiao died instantly.
"So, really so?" She glanced at Kong Kong, her heart fluttering - this fat monk is indeed different, at least he can see through her background at a glance, without any surprise, should he believe him again
"Benefactor, I really didn't lie to you, but I just didn't tell you the whole truth at once." Kongkong's face was extremely calm, with an air of whether you believe it or not, "The four spirits are legendary artifacts, gather them together Those who wish can realize any wish, even against the heavens. They are coveted by everyone in the world. In order to snatch the four spirits, the world has set off countless bloody storms. So many heroes died in their hands, it is just for the sake of gain .”
When Kong Kong said this, he couldn't help but regret: "Hundreds of years ago, someone gathered the four spirits, which led to the collapse of a prosperous dynasty in an instant... Sigh, their influence is too great. The reason why I didn't want to tell you more at the beginning is because It's also out of insurance considerations. In addition... I'm afraid no one else in this world will believe that your purpose of collecting all the artifacts is just to return home."
watt? Qing Qiao's hands and feet went limp, and she fell to the ground.
It turns out that Si Ling's market is so pretty? Feelings, I, a migrant worker returning to my hometown, is still on a broken ship No. *** that is overloaded with high horsepower and full of crazy people
oh, no~~~~ don't! I don't want to do anything fat Ruth! Jack, Jack, where are you? Get my lady off the Titanic, next door to Mary!
"There are so many people who want to collect the Four Spirits?" She wept, wondering why Duan Yu was so nervous, she seemed to be frightened by the rumors.
"... At the beginning, there was a fierce battle to fight for the four spirits. In the end, the four things were scattered, and each was controlled by a very powerful authority, and their traces were hidden." Kong Kong smiled slightly, "So there are not many people who have the courage to collect them now."
"I understand." Qing Qiao wailed, "It seems that I am that little ant who is overwhelmed."
"The benefactor doesn't have to mind so much." Kong Kong squatted down to look at her, "Have you found Di Ling now?"
"... I know its whereabouts." Qing Qiao snorted, "Isn't it the Emperor's Ding Tianzhu?"
"Why didn't the benefactor take it away?" Kong Kong's eyes flashed
.
"Do you think I'm a brainless star?" Qing Qiao glared at him fiercely, "What is the emperor spirit? If it's not the emperor's life, you will have no luck! If you want to carry it, you will definitely not survive for three months. I don't want to die early. You have to save your energy to find the other two treasures!"
"The benefactor is a sensible person..." Kong Kong smiled and patted her on the head, "knows how to put a long line to catch big fish."
—Hmph, I'm afraid I haven't caught any fish by then, but I'll be baited instead!
Qing Qiaorou rubbed her head, and made a helpless decision: "Okay, master, I will trust you again! But you have to tell me first, how did you find this place?"
Kong Kong smiled very kindly: "Gu Shangshu received the news from you, and he did not hesitate to lose his family and property, and used all his connections to find the old monk. Benefactor, do you know where I was before I arrived here?" He shook his head and sighed. He said in a tone, "I was in a bodyguard agency giving a bodyguard to a bodyguard. Your father rushed in and dragged me out without saying a word... People thought your father wanted to make trouble, so they stopped him from beating him violently. Pity Mr. Gu, a civil servant , shouting at the old monk while desperately fighting with the martial artist—'Master, save my daughter!'”
"... benefactor, you really have a good father." Kong Kong was filled with emotion.
Qing Qiao only felt a puff of sour gas gushing out of her chest, and her eyes were red.
"My father, does my father know my real life experience?"
"He..." Kongkong opened his mouth and was about to speak, but suddenly coughed, as if choked by saliva, "cough cough... well, it seems that there is a cold..."
"How can you catch a cold at a critical moment?!" Qing Qiao raised her foot and was about to kick him, but her foot froze halfway.
Youdao's familiar shadow appeared behind Kong Kong.
"Qing Qiao!" The man was disheveled, but he opened his hands toward her.
Her tears flowed out all at once.
"Daddy!" She rushed towards the person who came, and stepped on Kong Kong by the way.
"My son!" Gu Shangshu was covered with wounds, but still held her in his arms full of pain, "You have suffered!"
Seeing the scarlet scar on Gu Shangshu's face, Qing Qiao couldn't help but gasped: "Daddy, you..."
Gu Shangshu covered her mouth: "Don't talk about it, daddy knows
. "
He sighed: "Since I received the message from Dongxi that day, I haven't closed my eyes... Hearing Mr. Qi say that you are going to enter the palace tonight, I was so anxious... Alas, seeing that you are unharmed now , I can finally let go of my heart."
Qing Qiao bit her lower lip and sobbed softly.
"...my son, don't worry too much." Gu Shangshu stroked her hair, "Back then I married A Jue, the daughter of General Xu. The husband and wife were loving and happy, but A Jue's physique was too poor, and she gave birth to a dead baby in October. I She was heartbroken without telling her, but I found you at the door who were still a baby..."
"Your little face was purple from the cold at that time, but you didn't cry or make a fuss, which was very lovable." Gu Shangshu fell into the memory, his eyes were extremely gentle, "I think you are a gift from heaven, so I will give you to you. Jue looked, said that you were her child..."
Speaking of this, he took a deep breath: "Qing Qiao, whether you are Bian Mu's orphan or not, you are always my child of Gu Xingjin! I know you have no wolf ambitions, I only want you to live well!" He closed his eyes She raised her eyes and gritted her teeth, "... you go, listen to the master's arrangement... go far away! Never come back!"
Qing Qiao was already out of breath from crying.
"Little benefactor..." Kong Kong finally finished coughing, and when he spoke, his glutinous face flushed brightly, "Little benefactor, do you want to know what kind of spirit 'human' is?"
Qing Qiao looked at him quietly, her teary eyes were confused.
"The thing 'human' is not hard to find at all." Kong Kong smiled mysteriously, "—the Qingmu human-shaped sword is the treasure of the Xiling School of Jianghu, and it is now hidden on Xiling Mountain."
Uh? Qing Qiao was dumbfounded. How could this old bald donkey be so generous that he told her the name and address of the artifact
"I've arranged for you the money for the horse, Qing Qiao, let's go!" Gu Shangshu pushed her out of his arms, "Time waits for no one, Lord Duan and the others will definitely come again!"
"... I'm leaving, Daddy, what are you going to do?" Qing Qiao was reluctant to let go, her face full of pear blossoms and rain.
"How can I say that I am also the Minister of the Ministry of Rites, and your grandfather and Mr. Qi are helping
! you go! Walk! Don't come back! "
Gu Shangshu pushed her while speaking, his voice trembling slightly.
Qing Qiao left Gu Shangshu's body temperature, and the cold wind picked up, and she couldn't help vomiting another mouthful of blood.
"Are you injured?!" Gu Shangshu was shocked, and reached out to grab her.
"No, no." She hid while laughing, "It's just... I bit my tongue while eating in the dungeon."
"No, there's the sound of horseshoes coming this way!" Kong Kong suddenly turned pale.
"Let's go!" Gu Shangshu didn't care so much anymore, took her hand and ran towards the hidden horse.
"Qing Qiao, no matter what happens later, don't look back!" Gu Shangshu helped her on the horseback, breathing quickly, "Just run forward, there will be a road to Xiling Mountain after you run out of this forest, don't worry about it!" stop!"
Qing Qiao hurriedly climbed onto the horse, clutching the rein tightly, with a flash of light in her eyes: "Daddy..."
Gu Shangshu only said that she was afraid, and he took out a dagger and handed it to her: "My son, Daddy regrets that he didn't find someone to teach you self-defense! Now you hold this, if someone mistreats you, you Cut his flesh! Don't be afraid! In the future, if Lord Yama condemns you to hell, Daddy will go on your behalf!"
Looking at her father who was usually gentle and refined with the heroic demeanor of "the sky is falling, I will take it up", Qing Qiao was already speechless, and her fingertips holding the rein trembled slightly.
"Drive!" Gu Shangshu slapped the horse hard, the horse was frightened, and immediately ran forward with all four hooves.
"Daddy! Daddy!"
Qing Qiao cried loudly on horseback, and the sound of crying gradually faded away.
Gu Shangshu quietly looked at her receding back, with crystals falling from the corners of his eyes.
— This is the child he has always cherished in his heart, and now he has to suffer such a crime.
Countless black shadows landed around him, surrounding him.
"Good boy, go and never come back."
He murmured and closed his eyes.
