The sky is getting late, the twilight is close, the light in the room is already weak, not to mention the lampstand is down.
Sun Da's short sword was unsheathed, and the cold light was particularly conspicuous in the only light, and it directly approached Shi Qing.
Shi Qing supported the table next to him and remained motionless, but Yun Zhi stepped forward half a step to meet him, forcing Sun Da to back away from the table.
Li Yunqing was so frightened that his legs became weak, and he sat down on the bench next to him, wiped the sweat from his forehead and asked Shi Qing, "Master Xiao, what's going on here?"
"Assassination, can't you see it?"
Shi Qing looked at her, "The pair of eyes on your face don't look like a pair of decorations either."
"I haven't even encountered such a scene in the past few years? Then you are an official for nothing."
"Let's resign and go home to grow sweet potatoes."
A tone of disgust that she has never seen the world make a fuss.
Li Yunqing's face twitched when he was stunned, and when he heard the sound of weapons colliding close at hand, his expression became extremely ugly again.
"Assassination..."
Li Yunqing's eyes flickered, he didn't know what to think of, and looked forward in fear.
Sun Da is a master of darts, and he is not Yunzhi's opponent, and he is almost suppressed by him.
Yun Zhi didn't dare to be careless this time, and sealed her every movement to death, not giving her a chance to use hidden weapons.
At this time, some people came from the door, heard the sound of fighting in the room, and shouted, "Master Li, are you with Master Xiao?"
The sudden sound made Shi Qing's heart skip a beat instinctively.
This is the part of the guards that Li Yunqing brought to welcome her, there are at least twenty of them.
Li Yunqing seemed to see a life-saving straw, quickly stood up, and shouted back, "Yes, come in and take down this assassin!"
"Yes, my lord!"
Twenty people came in from outside, and the two who walked in front still held lanterns for lighting.
The lights turned on, and Li Yunqing's position was seen.
Li Yunqing breathed a sigh of relief, regained her confidence, pointed at Sun Da who was fighting with Yunzhi, and said, "Take her down quickly."
However, the guards didn't listen to her command, instead they walked towards her and Shi Qing.
The official knives on the waist were all unsheathed, the voice was sharp and sharp, and the official boots pressed on every step.
Every step was like stepping on the tip of Li Yunqing's heart, and the pressure brought her to sit down again, her voice trembling, "You, what are you guys doing?"
"My lord, isn't you the assassin?"
After speaking, the guard quickly surrounded Shi Qing and Li Yunqing, looking left and right at the same time, "Where's Shi Qing?"
How could Li Yunqing have imagined that the guards he brought were with the assassins, and his complexion became even uglier in an instant.
She trembled and asked, "Who sent you here?"
The guards ignored her at all and searched for Shi Qing's hiding place in the main hall with a lantern.
The person was still here just now, why did he disappear in the blink of an eye
"try to find."
The leading guard raised the lantern, his eyes darkened, "No one will be left alive."
"yes!"
Li Yunqing's fat body trembled, and she didn't dare to say anything, for fear that she would die before Shi Qing.
But Shi Qing went out stooping.
She walked as far as possible to the courtyard where the imperial guards were.
Lanterns are hung high in the courtyard, and the full moon is above the head, and the light is much better than that in the house.
So Li Yunqing's random movement of turning his head outward happened to see Shi Qing.
She didn't know whether it was intentional or unintentional, but she couldn't help shouting, "Master Xiao, save me!"
In a word, Shi Qing's position was successfully exposed.
"..."
This pig teammate!
Twenty guards rushed towards Shi Qing almost at the same time.
Sun Da, who was entangled by Yun Zhi, wanted to escape several times, but was forced to retreat.
Among these people, only Sun Da's hidden weapon is the best and the most threatening.
The man in black in the yard was not the opponent of the Imperial Forest Army at all, and he had been dealt with almost at this moment. Hearing the voice, the leader of the Imperial Forest Army looked towards Shi Qing, and hurried over to stop the guards.
Shi Qing retreated to the safe zone and was protected by the Imperial Forest Army.
The guards brought by Li Yunqing fought and retreated. Seeing that the mission tonight was about to fail due to the disparity in strength, they gritted their teeth and went around Li Yunqing's side and put the knife on her neck.
"do not come."
The leader shouted, "Or I'll kill her."
Li Yunqing tilted his chin back, looked down at the blade on his neck as hard as he could, and said tremblingly to the Yulin army, "Back back, back quickly."
The Imperial Forest Army couldn't move for a while, and looked at Shi Qing with a embarrassed face.
The guard carried Li Yunqing back to the courtyard of the post house, threatening: "This is the imperial court official, if she dies, you can't afford to go around!"
Perhaps seeing that the situation was unfavorable, Sun Da used a dark dart to force Yunzhi to retreat, and he also retreated to the side of the guards.
Sun Da looked out and asked in a low voice, "Is the horse ready?"
"Ready."
There were less than ten of them left, and they planned to retreat first, using Li Yunqing as a threat.
Yun Zhi walked to Shi Qing's side, saw her looking at him, and immediately said, "I'm not hurt."
Shi Qing stood under the eaves steps and looked into the courtyard. Li Yunqing met her eyes and shouted hastily, "Master Shi, please save me."
Shi Qing said, "Master Li, don't worry, you are an official ordered by the court, and I will definitely not ignore you."
Li Yunqing had just breathed a sigh of relief when she continued, "But this group of people cannot be let go."
"?!"
Shi Qing threatened to order, "Come on, surround them and take them down!"
She said, "None of them can be let go."
Li Yunqing and the guards were dumbfounded.
The guard's blade pressed against Li Yunqing's neck, blood oozing out, "Shi Qing, this is a fourth-rank official!"
"It's a hostage!"
"If you don't let us leave, we will drag her to be buried with her!"
Shi Qing is not afraid of being threatened, let alone Li Yunqing who was captured.
Who knows if this is a scene she did tonight, and even being held and threatened is a calculated part of it.
Shi Qing lost his temper, pointed at the leader and said, "Don't just talk, do it if you have the ability."
"I'm not afraid of threats yet."
"The blood is soaring, every time I blink my eyes, I am as timid as a mouse!"
Shi Qing looked at the dumbfounded Li Yunqing, and comforted him: "Master Li, don't panic. If you have any troubles, I will definitely avenge you. When the time comes, it must be stated on the booklet that you sacrificed your life for the country, so you can rest assured." go."
"Tonight, neither the assassin nor the hostage will be spared!"
In the end, who is the assassin
"..."
Li Yunqing wanted to eat for a while, and Shi Qing's heart was there.
"If you let them go, they will let me go, and I won't die!"
She was so angry that she wanted to slap her thigh.
Shi Qing retorted, "Master Li's words are too narrow."
She deliberately said, "I let them go, who knows how many officials will be killed in the future. I sacrificed one of you today to protect the safety of other officials. I think they will remember you."
Dead colleagues don't kill the official.
The secret of being an official was firmly grasped by Shi Qing.
Li Yunqing's heart was ashamed, and she slid and sat on the ground.
The guards may also feel sorry for her, and let her sit slumped like a pile of mud.
Shi Qing's goal was achieved, and he raised his voice to signal: "Do it."
The Royal Forest Army surrounded the dozen or so people.
In terms of force, these people are not opponents of the Imperial Forest Army at all, and it is extremely difficult to parry them.
Sun Da gave them a wink, and the rest of them rushed towards the Imperial Forest Army like moths, while Sun Da retreated slowly.
She looked sternly at Shi Qing who was under the steps of the eaves.
go to hell!
She took out the poisoned dark dart from her bosom and threw it towards Shi Qing's heart.
Sun Da knew that You Yunzhi would definitely be able to avoid the first dart in Shiqing, so she was going to block the opponent's position with the other dart when the opponent dodged.
At that time, there is no time to dodge, two people, one will die!
Under the moonlight, the moment Yun Zhi saw the dart, his heart beat violently.
When Shi Qing came out of the river last time, the scene of Shi Qing sitting on the ground with pale lips and kneeling on the ground staring at him was still fresh in his memory.
She was really scared that time.
Yun Zhi's hand holding the sword tightened, and his hesitant eyes became more determined.
If something happened to me, who would be able to protect her personally in the future
Yun Zhi pursed his thin lips tightly, quickly stretched out his hand to hold Shi Qing's wrist, and moved him to his side, dodging the first dart.
Sun Da had fought Yun Zhi several times, and he knew that he couldn't bear to kill him, so he confidently wanted to take advantage of his weakness.
To be soft-hearted to the enemy is to be cruel to those around you.
She wanted one of them to die, and the other to live in guilt and self-blame for the rest of his life!
Only such punishment can erase the hatred in her heart! Avenge Prime Minister Sun's family!
However, this time is destined to be different from Sun Daxiang's.
The moment Yun Zhi pulled Shi Qing away, his right thumb pushed away the scabbard, and the cold light of the green sword leaked out.
Yun Zhi pushed Shi Qing behind the pillar, and when another dart flew towards him, he went straight up to catch it with his scabbard.
The dart collided with the scabbard.
At the same time, when Sun Da was about to throw the third dart, Yun Zhi's figure floated over like a ghost, faster than the dart, lighter than the wind, and before Sun Da could react, the green sword directly pierced her heart!
It was crisp and neat, without any sloppiness, and it was a happy ending for the other party.
The powerful aura suppressed him, and with a sword in his chest, Sun Da had no power to parry. He couldn't help but vomited blood, his hand shook, and the dart fell powerlessly to the ground.
She looked down at the sword on her chest in a daze, eyes full of disbelief.
Yun Zhi's sword-holding hand had bulging veins, and he raised his eyes to look at the unbelievable Sun Da, his eyes were clear and compelling.
"You shouldn't challenge my bottom line again and again."
With the sword drawn out, Sun Da's knees softened and he knelt at Yun Zhi's feet.
Yun Zhijian looked down at her pointingly, the blood on the sword pooled to the tip of the sword and dripped on the bluestone slab in the courtyard.
He learned martial arts to protect people, not to kill people.
If only one of the two can be chosen—
He chose Shiqing.
When Sun Da died, the rest of the guards in the courtyard were also dealt with by the Imperial Forest Army.
The leader of the imperial forest army looked sideways at Sun Da's dart that was inserted deeply into the door frame after being avoided by Yun Zhi, showing surprise on his face, and then looked at Yun Zhi with more and more admiration.
People who know how to use hidden weapons are already extremely fast, but being able to kill the opponent with a sword before the opponent makes a move is faster than her.
How advanced is Yun Zhi's martial arts...
It turned out that those who were flashy before were just unwilling to kill and deliberately exhaust the opponent's physical strength, but today's crisp and sharp sword is his real strength.
Shi Qing poked his head from behind the pillar, "Yun Zhi."
She picked up the scabbard on the ground, pulled her sleeves to wipe it clean, and walked towards Yunzhi.
Yun Zhi took out the towel from his pocket, wiped the sword before putting it back into the scabbard.
His eyes flickered, and he said softly, "Another gem is broken."
Shi Qing stretched out Gou Yun's hand to hold his heart, but his usually warm palm was cold and wet today.
"It's okay, I'll give you a new one."
Yun Zhi clenched Shi Qing's fingers tightly, and his heart slowly settled down.
The Guardsman disposes of the bodies in the courtyard, and examines to see if they can find any identifying evidence.
Mihe and Yaqing had been hiding in the carriage in the backyard, and only dared to come out when they heard nothing.
The two found the real post officer of the post house from the firewood room, and the other party was weak and had only half his life left.
But Li Yunqing was sitting in the yard, unwilling to get up.
She looked at Shi Qing, "I will definitely tell the Holy Majesty the truth when I return to Beijing tonight."
It refers to the fact that Shiqing insisted on keeping the assassin regardless of her life or death. Shen Shiqing did a great job and disregarded the crimes of his colleagues!
Shi Qing lifted the hem of his clothes and squatted on the ground to look at her, "Master Li, you said that if I take care of you together, don't you have to worry about someone stabbing me in the back?"
"After all, I can completely blame the assassins."
Shi Qing smiled, "I told the emperor that I tried my best, but I still couldn't save you. Maybe the emperor will comfort me and express regret for your death at the same time."
The pale moonlight above his head reflected on Shi Qing's beautiful and flamboyant face, which was a bit bluffing.
Li Yunqing's pupils contracted, and he gasped, his face turned pale with fright.
Yun Zhi was standing by the side and watching Shi Qing was threatening, the end of his eyes twitched, and he reached out and gently rubbed the top of her head.
Why does she feel like a bad person.
Shi Qing immediately turned his head and stared at Yunzhi, and slapped the paw on his head.
The good atmosphere was ruined by him.
Yun Zhi quickly withdrew his hand and changed to holding a sword.
Li Yunqing asked tremblingly, "Are you kidding me?"
Shi Qing rolled his eyes, "What do you think?"
She said: "I've saved you. If you don't appreciate it, let it go. You can even beat me up and repay the favor. Even if I save a dog, it knows how to bark at me gratefully. What's the use of saving you?"
Shi Qing sneered, "Besides, you know better than me who wants to kill whom."
The post officer who was rescued led his servants to tidy up the room again, and the lampstand was lit, and the light was bright.
Shi Qing stood up and looked down at Li Yunqing, "If you don't get up, you can sleep here, no one will stop you."
Li Yunqing's jaw tightened, "Shi Qing, even if I'm not your superior, I'm still your elder in terms of age. Do you always treat elders and colleagues with this attitude?"
"You have such a posture, if you have a high position in the future, will there be anyone else in your eyes?"
Shi Qing smiled, "Look at what you said, I already have a high position and authority, so who else do I need in my eyes?"
"It should be that others see me, but whether I see an official like you depends on my mood."
"I'll call you aunt politely. You really consider yourself my elder. In this case, you see that it's already June, and the Chinese New Year is not far away. Then, as an elder, you have to express yourself when you see me?"
Li Yunqing couldn't tell Shi Qing at all, so he simply got up on the ground, flicked his sleeves and walked in.
Shi Qing said leisurely from behind: "Master Li, don't you sit in the courtyard and chat for a while?"
Li Yunqing doesn't want to listen to Shi Qing's words at all now, she just wants to go back to Beijing early and stay away from her.
With so many guards just now, how come none of them can kill Shi Qing.
When she returned to Beijing alive, it was as if the sky had no eyes!
Regardless of what Li Yunqing thought, Shi Qing took a comfortable bath and prepared to go to bed.
Yun Zhi slept next to her with his head on his arms, listening to her gentle breathing.
Usually, Shiqing's sleep quality is very good. Today, he may have slept in the carriage, so he didn't sleep very deeply at night. In the second half of the night, he faintly heard that Yunzhi beside him was not breathing properly, and his breath was a little messy.
She got up to look at him, facing the faint light of the lampstand, she could see Yunzhi's brow covered with sweat, his hands resting on his lower abdomen clenched into fists, the veins on the back of his white and skinny hands were bulging.
"Yunzhi?"
Shi Qing felt that he was a nightmare, and called him softly.
Yun Zhi was immersed in a dream, unable to get out no matter what.
He dreamed that he didn't meet Shi Qing, and he held the sword Tianya with enthusiasm, and he always responded with trust and sincerity to everyone.
Especially Liu Yueming, who was like a big brother, did not have the slightest doubt.
The elder in his family is an elder sister, and Yun Zhi has always hoped to have an older brother so that the two brothers can travel together.
But Liu Yueming fully satisfied his fantasy no matter whether it was his gentle temperament or his elegant demeanor.
Compared with her elder sister who was always twisting her ears, the patient Liu Yueming was like a big brother.
Yun Zhi held sword Tianya with him, told him interesting things at home, and helped him solve his troubles.
He felt that the beauty of Jianghu was nothing more than that.
Until at the edge of the cliff, he was knocked off the cliff by Liu Yueming's palm.
"The enmity between the Yun family and my Yue family is already deep. You can't blame me for today's incident. If you want to blame it, you can only blame you for being stupid and naive. You are willing to believe anyone. You are so pitiful."
He said, "Yunzhi, for the sake of brotherhood in the past, I will definitely give your parents a clean cut and won't torture and kill them."
"Your parents are also funny, they didn't tell you about it. Oh, I understand, they thought it was protection."
ridiculous.
Liu Yueming, no, it should be called Yue Ming. Standing on the edge of the cliff, looking at the person who fell and disappeared, he held the fan tightly in his hand, "If it wasn't for the enemy, I really wish I had such a younger brother. It's a pity..."
Yunzhi treats people with sincerity and acts with passion, which is a rare kind of heart.
It's a pity that this heart was broken when it was thrown off the cliff by the most trusted brother.
Yun Zhiming was great, but he didn't die. He soaked in the cliff spiritual spring for a few days, and when his body barely recovered, he rushed home desperately.
In the past, Yun's family, which was like a paradise, was completely burned down and turned into ruins when Yun Zhi arrived.
If he hadn't trusted people easily, he wouldn't be where he is today.
If he hadn't insisted on going out, he wouldn't be here today.
If he had discovered Liu Yueming's treachery early on and killed him, there would be no today.
The person who is wrong is entirely himself.
Yun Zhi never felt that kindness and sincerity are such a cruel thing.
He began to investigate the past between Yue's family and Yun's family, hiding his identity and avenging the Yun's family.
But what is lost is lost after all, all the regrets and guilt are like a knife stabbing his heart day and night.
When Yun Zhi was in pain, he could only point the sharp blade at his own arm.
The dream is like a revolving lantern, the scene is too fast, but the emotions in it are real.
Yun Zhi's great revenge was rewarded. When he slashed the enemy with his hands, he, who had never killed before, was now as numb as a bloodthirsty sword.
Seeing Liu Yueming's painful expression, there was no extra emotion.
And a year ago, he still regarded this person as his own brother.
Liu Yueming died under the sword, Yun Zhi knelt on the ground on one knee, looked at the blood on the sword, and just when he was about to kill himself, a white light appeared in front of him.
A mechanical voice sounded:
"Yunzhi, the hero of the starting point, the trial in the world is over, and there is no need to worry about it. The system is about to open the fairy gate and enter the world of cultivating immortals."
wrong.
Yun Zhi subconsciously took out a towel and slowly wiped the blade clean, then turned his head back to look for his scabbard.
Someone should have brought him the scabbard.
He still has people to protect.
Protect the man who will pick up the scabbard for him.
He still has.
He can't go.
In Yunzhi's dream, he swung his sword away from the white light that was approaching him. In reality, he struggled to wake up from the dream, sat up, and his heart beat hard for a long time.
Sitting on the bed, he couldn't tell what was reality and what was a dream for a while, his eyes were slow to focus, and he was in a trance.
"Yun Zhi?" Shi Qing knelt down on both sides of his waist and abdomen, stretched out his hands to hold his face covered with sweat and tears, and looked at him worriedly.
Yun Zhimeng was crying in depressing pain, as if losing someone important and caring, his lower lip was bitten full of tooth marks, faintly oozing blood.
Yun Zhi looked up at Shi Qing, his eyes slowly focused on her face.
"Shiqing, I almost forgot about you in my dream."
His icy palm was pressed against her face, and his thumb was rubbing lightly, his eyes were fixed on Shi Qing's face, he couldn't bear to look away.
Yun Zhi slightly pulled the corner of his mouth and smiled, his eyes were clear and watery, his voice was hoarse and deep, "Fortunately, I finally remembered."
The tone is indescribably aggrieved and depressed.
Shi Qing's heart contracted, and he leaned over to kiss his forehead.
Yun Zhi wrapped his hands around Shi Qing's waist, buried his face in her arms, breathing heavily, and his heart felt unspeakably depressed.
It didn't seem like a dream, but more like something that would actually happen if he didn't fall into this world.
Shi Qing hugged Yun Zhi, and at the moment when he bumped into her arms, Shi Qing clearly felt the transparent panel in front of her eyes flicker.
She opened the panel and realized that it was not an illusion.
The cannon fodder panel seemed to have lost the signal suddenly, all the data became garbled characters, and then went blank, with nothing left.
Shi Qing looked at this change blankly, not understanding what was going on.
Does it have something to do with Yunzhi
All the data on the cannon fodder panel was formatted, including the mission identity and life value.
A moment later, a new panel takes its place:
[Hello host, the Gangjing system is at your service. ]
"..."
Shi Qing's eyes twitched and fell silent.
It's not over yet
[Congratulations to the host for unlocking this system, which is different from the system of "The Concubine's Counterattack". Some people take shortcuts to gain luck. The mission of this system is to help them recognize their identity and reality, teach them to be a down-to-earth person, and do things according to their duties. ]
[The more hostile the host is, the weaker the luck of the world taken away by the "Concubine's Counterattack" system will be, and when the task is completed, the system will consciously leave. ]
[If the task fails, the host will die according to the original plot, and all characters in this world will lose their minds and become tool people for the system to suck luck. ]
Shi Qing took a look, the current leverage value: 30%.
Task: To make Mrs. Qian, who was born as a concubine, sober up.
"??!!!"
Shi Qing cursed silently, shit!
Is it so explosive
Lord Qian, who has always looked down on concubine daughters, is actually born as a concubine daughter
Does Mr. Qian know about this
Shi Qing was inexplicably excited.
I always feel that this trip back to Beijing is exciting.
There are systems on the left and right, and they are all the same anyway.
Shi Qing patted Yun Zhi on the back, "Honey, I feel like you've done something great."
The choice in Yun Zhimeng must have affected something, the butterfly effect has spread to her.
Yun Zhi's mood has calmed down, and he looked up to see clearly.
Shi Qing looked at him with crooked eyebrows, "Do you want some late-night temptation to soothe your wounded heart?"
"..."
At this time, the fifth emperor's daughter, who was far away in the imperial palace in the capital, woke up from her dream and spat out a mouthful of blood on the bedside curtain.
She thought she could get rid of Yunzhi, but it turned out that she lost Shi Qing's memory, and he still retained the habit of Shi Qing Shi.
This body is getting worse and worse, but Shi Qing, who should have been dead long ago, is alive and kicking.
The fifth prince wiped away the blood from the corner of her mouth, her eyes were deep.
Shi Qing.
Early morning, dawn.
Shi Qing was refreshed, although the wound on Yun Zhi's lower lip was still there, but there were more marks under the skirt of his clothes, and he didn't know which part hurt or not for a while.
He wiped the scabbard and replaced the broken gem when he was going back to Beijing.
"You said you would buy me a sword tassel, what kind would you buy?" Yun Zhi asked Shi Qing, "I want that kind of good-looking one."
Shi Qing leaned against the wall of the car and ate melon seeds, "Let's not waste money, I will make one for you when I get back to Beijing."
"..." Yun Zhi silently put away the sword.
Shi Qing glared at him, "Hey? What kind of eyes are you looking at?"
She pointed at the gaudy scabbard, "Are you still ashamed to despise my aesthetics?"
Shi Qing rushed over, Yun Zhi stopped her with a smile, and said stiffly, "You don't understand, how beautiful that is."
The carriage wobbled forward.
She was a young adult and returned to Beijing.
