"What does he want from me?"
"This, the young master ordered me to send it to you, the young lady." The long blue cloth wrapped the slender sword, just looking at the hilt, Chu Qiao knew that it was the one she used to shoot and kill Zalu's men on the night of hunting. sword.
"The young master said, return your sword to you now, please also return my young master's sword."
"I didn't bring it with me." Chu Qiao raised her eyebrows and said in a deep voice, "You should tell me what it is in advance, so that I can bring the sword."
"Ah?" Zhu Cheng was taken aback, "I told General Song."
Chu Qiao's head went black, and if you tell him, it's the same as not saying anything. She stretched out her hand to get the sword, and said: "I'll take the sword back first, and I'll send someone to deliver your young master's sword to the door later."
"Miss Chu," Zhu Cheng said with a look of embarrassment on his face, "Young master said, you don't want to get involved with each other, and the matter should be resolved as soon as possible, and don't procrastinate. How about this, the servant is here waiting for you, please go back Just go and let someone else bring it to me."
You don't want to have anything to do with each other? Chu Qiao twitched her eyebrows lightly, stretched out her hand to take back the sword, and said in a deep voice, "Okay."
Immediately, he turned and left.
It was not allowed to carry weapons in the Shengjin Palace. Although no one was checking, Chu Qiao still put the sword inside Daqiu, bowed her head and walked quickly to Yinggeyuan.
In two days, she will go to Xiaoqi Camp to take up her post. This was a very strange appointment, and the timing was very sudden, which caught Chu Qiao by surprise. Even though it was just a sesame official who couldn't be smaller, it still caused a series of small ripples in the ruling and opposition parties. After all, she is a woman, and she belongs to Yan Xun.
Emperor Xia has started using people from Yanbei, what does this mean? It means that Emperor Xia wants to let go of the past and let Yan Xun return to Yanbei to succeed, so as to stabilize the hearts of the world's vassal kings
Obviously, this is impossible. Over the years, Emperor Xia has always closed his eyes and ignored Yan Xun's blows, ostracism, and infighting in Shengjin Palace. Although he has never personally acted, but as an emperor, his attitude of letting go is to encourage other people with ulterior motives to wipe out Yan Xun. If Yan Xun and Chu Qiao hadn't been cautious, they might have died in round after round of cold arrows.
Emperor Xia once killed Yan Xun's parents and brothers in front of Yan Xun's face, and knocked this nobleman from the Celestial Dynasty into Abi Hell overnight. Then, it is absolutely impossible to let the tiger go back to the mountain and let Yan Xun return to Yanbei. It's not that he didn't do it, it's just that those who did it didn't succeed.
Now that the day of Yan Xun's return is approaching, how could he hand over Yan Bei to this resentful wolf cub
So, what is the purpose of Emperor Xia's appointment? Almost everyone in Zhenhuang City knows that the female slave Chu Qiao is Yan Xun's strongest supporter. This girl, who is not yet fifteen years old, has protected the Yan prince from life and death many times in the past seven years. Difficult, agile, superb martial arts. Could it be that Emperor Xia really likes this outstanding girl and wants to recruit and train her? Or, is it to cut off Yan Xun's wings, in order to prevent future attacks from hindering him
No one knows why, and all speculation is superficial. Chu Qiao knew that things would definitely not be so simple, it was just that she hadn't figured out the key to the problem yet.
Bypassing Changxuan Street is Taoism Road, with majestic red walls on both sides and bright yellow tiles covered with white snow.
There was a sudden sound of footsteps, Chu Qiao frowned, did she remember wrongly, there is a meeting today
She didn't have time to think about it, the people who were able to enter the inner hall of Shengjin Palace to discuss matters were all officials of the third rank and above, and in her capacity, she had to kneel down and avoid it.
The girl walked to a corner of the wall, leaned against the wall and knelt down, bowed her head in silence, the wide fox fur covered her eyebrows and eyes, only revealing a fair and clean neck.
The sound of footsteps gradually approached, but when she walked to her side, she did not leave. A deep voice sounded above her head, "Raise your head."
Chu Qiao frowned, and slowly straightened up.
The enemy's road is narrow, today is really unlucky.
The girl's face is clean and clean, under the reflection of the white snow, she has a soft light like Hetian white jade, her eyes are as black as ink, her outline is thin, but she has a trace of independent and steady temperament. She is still young and her stature has not yet grown up, but she has a cold and stern temperament like a winter plum in ice and snow, which permeates from the inside out.
The man's eyes narrowed slowly, and he clenched his right hand unconsciously. Under the blood-red sunset, the snow was reddish, and his middle finger, ring finger, and little finger were severed, and they were clasped with gold fingertips. , adding a little bit of weirdness.
"Call me."
The deep voice suddenly echoed in the bleak wind, and the servants on both sides who were already gearing up immediately gathered around, and a powerful man slapped the young girl's cheek fiercely with a palm like a cattail leaf.
With a bang, the slap hit the girl's face unexpectedly, but was held up by her instead. Chu Qiao raised her head, and asked in a deep voice with no expression on her face: "Young master Wei, you instigated the family to hurt people at will, should you give me a reason?"
"Reason?" Wei Jing smiled coldly, "The reason is that you, a low-status slave, dare to disagree with my words."
"Mr. Wei, if your memory is not bad, you should remember that His Majesty has granted me to be freed from slavery and to be the official archery instructor in the Xiaoqi Camp. You and I are now officials in the same dynasty and serve the Great Xia together. I respect you as the son of the clan's leader I just saluted you, otherwise, with your current status, you are not qualified to accept my kneeling. After all, you have just been dismissed from office, and a commoner, how dare you be so arrogant in Shengjin Palace?"
The girl's face was as sharp as ice and snow, she pushed the big man away, slapped his knees twice, and stood up, "I still have something to do, so I won't accompany you."
"How courageous!" Wei Jing snorted coldly, and said in a deep voice, "I want to see, I killed you, the archery instructor of the Xiaoqi Camp today, who would dare to avenge you!"
"Do it!"
As soon as the words fell, the four guards behind Wei Jing suddenly stepped forward and slashed at the top of Chu Qiao's head!
How could Chu Qiao have imagined that Wei Jing would be so courageous today, openly carrying a knife without mentioning it, and dared to commit murder in the Shengjin Palace. However, time waits for no one, and the sudden situation does not allow her to think too much.
There were no fancy moves, just a click and a crisp fracture, and with a flick of a finger, the guard's hand bone was broken, screaming again and again.
Chu Qiao snatched the guard's long knife with a backhand, as if she had eyes on her back, she flew up and kicked beautifully in the air, and her kick hit the chest of the guard who was sneaking up from behind. The guard let out a scream, spurting blood from his mouth, and staggered back.
Immediately afterwards, she made a lightning strike, grabbed the wrist of another guard, and swung the long sword in the other hand. The standard ninja sword technique side slashed, stably and fiercely. The two guards had already fallen to the ground!
All the actions took place within a second, and the four skilled guards had already been defeated. All of them were disabled by one move, and they no longer had any fighting power.
The long wind blew, and Chu Qiao stood among the scrambled men, with a calm face and a tall and straight figure. She was dressed in long white fur, and she looked even more extraordinary and as cold as snow, as if she hadn't moved from the beginning to the end. She looked at her face coldly. The resentful Wei Jing said lightly, "Get out of the way."
Wei Jing's face turned blue, the revenge of severed fingers has been tormenting his mind for many years, like a poisonous snake, it made him lose his usual calmness and self-control.
"Kill her!" His voice was as deep as a ghost from hell.
The long wind blew through the Xuanmen way, crossed between the high walls on both sides, and rolled up a large swirl of snow.
More than a dozen guards in green clothes stepped forward immediately, put one knee on the ground, squatted halfway in front of Wei Jing, poked their wrists behind, and took out a row of crossbow arrows from the fur like a magic trick!
Chu Qiao frowned, and cautiously took half a step back. Wei Jing brought a bow and crossbow with him when he entered the palace, what does this mean? Is it the expansion of the power of the Wei Clan after Zhao Qi gained power, or did he have some special imperial order to carry weapons into the palace
Before he had time to think, a round of crossbow arrows shot towards Chu Qiao. The close-range shooting made these arrows very powerful. With a thunderous aura, they roared through the cold wind and came towards where Chu Qiao was standing!
Chu Qiao dodged and fell to the ground, rolled on the spot, came to the big man whose hand bones had been crushed before, and grabbed his collar. Hearing the sound of puffing in his ears, blood splashing, the big man didn't even have a chance to scream, he was shot into a sieve, covered in blood holes, and fell to the ground.
Chu Qiao used her strength to kick the big man's body hard. The big man's body rose into the air, and with a bang, it hit the crossbowmen in front of them, disrupting their formation. Chu Qiao took the opportunity to step forward in lightning, extremely swift and fierce! The girl grabbed the head of a big man, jumped up into the air, and with a swish, tore off a handful of the big man's hair!
Everyone was dumbfounded, the brutal hand-to-hand combat gave their crossbows no chance to show off their might. The girl's ruthless means and calm and calm face roared like a nightmare, and wherever she went, there was a mess.
Invite people to be disabled, and attack fiercely.
It wasn't until this moment that everyone deeply understood what it means to be one man in charge of the gate, and ten thousand men should not be opened. Although at this moment, standing in front of them is only a young girl with a thin body.
The blows of the big men gradually weakened, their courage turned cold, and their faces turned blue. The opponent's professional fighting skills and fierce attack methods made these guards who usually claimed to be good close combat fighters tear their livers and gallbladders apart.
In the blink of an eye, Chu Qiao was already in front of her. For the first time, Wei Jing's eyes showed a trace of unconcealable panic, and he hurriedly drew the sword at his waist, but in the next second, Chu Qiao kicked the two guards in front of him flying away, and reached out to grab him.
Chu Qiao's hands looked more terrifying than the guillotine at the moment. The subordinates of the Wei faction who had seen the powerful burst out of the noble sentiment of loyalty and protection of the lord in an instant. Two guards rushed out from behind and swung their knives.
Incredibly fast! The girl turned around in an instant, jumped up in the air, and kicked out, hitting a big man's neck.
Taking advantage of this time, Wei Jing retreated quickly under the guard of the two. When Chu Qiao turned around, she had already retreated two positions. No matter how fast Ren Chuqiao was, it was impossible for her arms to be so long.
The sound of hurried footsteps in the distance suddenly sounded. The actions just now must have alarmed the guards of the palace. Wei Jing, who was originally majestic and about to wipe out the grass, suddenly felt shamefully secretly happy.
Then, at this moment, a blue shadow suddenly appeared, and the blue cotton cloth was flying in the air. Wei Jing's neck shuddered, and a blue and white black iron sword light stopped firmly in his throat!
