"Yuanyuan, did you kill Gu Paner? On the city wall..." Yuan Xuanlang asked after putting on his coat. He did see the female corpse hanging on the city wall yesterday.
"It's her, what should I do?" Lin Yuan, lying on the bed, tilted his head to the side, pressed the quilt under his legs, frowned as if in embarrassment, but spoke in a frivolous tone.
The early morning sunlight filtered through the window lattice, casting a neat hexagonal pattern on the ground. Dust particles danced in the beams of light. Yuan Xuanlang looked at Lin Yuan, feeling as if there was a layer of fog between them.
So he walked over to the bed, bent down and looked her in the eye.
"I didn't actually kill her."
"That's good, to avoid future troubles."
They said in unison, then stared at each other in shock.
"Okay, are you testing me?" Yuan Xuanlang lowered his voice, like a cheetah ready to fight.
"No, I'm just afraid of being scolded." Lin Yuan lowered his head.
"You can eradicate the problem completely, but you can't be so cruel." He flicked her head.
"Oh, I understand, husband~" Lin Yuan sat up and put her arms around his neck.
"The day after tomorrow, I will follow Prince Nanning to get the emperor's head! After this battle, we will retire to the mountains and forests and enjoy the scenery." Yuan Xuanlang raised the corner of his mouth, as if narrating tomorrow's itinerary.
"Okay, I'll go with you!"
"No, it's too dangerous. Yuanyuan is waiting for my triumphant return in the military camp."
"Well, I'll wait for you, Xuan~" Lin Yuan kissed the corner of his mouth. She knew her own worth and would never take any risks with him.
......
The next day, the swordsman Li Changqing came here to support. Although it was called support, it was just that the wanderer found a quiet place to drink. Yuan Xuanlang respected him as his master and arranged a room for him.
He asked the Sword Immortal if he wanted to join the battle, but he waved his hands and shook his head, "No! No! I can't even protect my own life, so why would I join the battle? Do you think I'm too old to live?"
At this point, the King of Nanning had taken Qingzhou and Jizhou, and the Marquis of Beichang occupied Xuancheng and Shanhaiguan areas, surrounding the imperial city. In the imperial city, Master Pei led the Jinwu Guards to "protect the emperor."
Two princes fought for the pearl with two dragons. People in the world speculated that the two princes would become enemies, but unexpectedly, the two princes joined forces to attack the royal city.
The two kings agreed that whoever found the jade seal first would become emperor.
Another bloody battle broke out in front of the walls of the imperial capital.
Yuan Xuanlang spurred his horse and whipped it, using his long sword to master the basic sword technique Qingfeng Mingyue style.
"Sister Zhu, please help me protect my wife." He turned around and shouted to Zhu Wanling.
Zhu Wanling swung her sword lazily, sweeping away the enemies in front of Lin Yuan. "Do I need you to tell me?"
"Ayuan, we will definitely win!" He was reluctant to leave, his eyes lingering.
Lin Yuan suddenly felt a pang of sadness in her heart, and immediately understood the pain of separation that the ancients had experienced.
Yuan Xuanlang spurred his horse and whipped it, "Gee!"
The clatter of horses' hooves echoed across the purple earth, and golden armor gleamed in the sunlight.
Lin Yuan watched him leading his soldiers to charge forward, his blood boiling with excitement.
"Don't look anymore, OP, I'll be back soon." Zhu Wanling reminded.
"That's right, we must win." Lin Yuan calmed himself down.
The battlefield was not safe after all, so the two men rode back to the barracks.
During the war, Lin Yuan made clay figures in the tent.
"When Xuan comes back, I'll give him this little clay figurine. I made it in the shape of him riding a horse, with a high ponytail, an upright figure, and a long sword leaning against his body."
"So happy." Yu Luo envied, but there was a hint of loss in his eyes. He didn't know how the master was doing, and whether he was still angry with him.
Lin Yuan raised his eyebrows, feeling proud for a moment, but afraid of ignoring her.
"You have one too." Lin Yuan's mind turned 180 degrees, his eyes sincere.
"I have one too!" Yu Luo was surprised. "What kind?"
"Keep this a secret, otherwise you won't be surprised if you find out." Lin Yuan rubbed her blue hair randomly.
"Yeah," Yu Luo gave a well-behaved smile.
"Sister, where do you want to go after the war?"
"Maybe he's going to a place far away. Why are you asking this all of a sudden?"
Yu Luo shook his head. "I want to watch the lanterns, fly kites, and try all the delicious food in the world with my sister."
"Of course it will. As long as the war is over, the sky will be high enough for fish to leap and the sea will be wide enough for birds to fly!"
Yu Luo raised the corner of his mouth and nodded vigorously, thinking to himself, Sister, please don't break your promise again. This world is not a place to stay for long. I'm still waiting for you to take me out.
Suddenly someone came to report: "Li Changqing wants to see Master Lin."
Lin Yuan: "Please ask him to come in."
"Master Lin, King Nanning and his men have already attacked the imperial city." Li Changqing was not wearing old coarse clothes as usual. Instead, he changed into a white robe and wore a square-shaped crown on his head, looking quite like an immortal.
Lin Yuan said happily: "Great, how is Yuan Xuanlang?"
"He has been ordered to search for the whereabouts of the Imperial Master in the Imperial City. Fearing that it would take too much time, he asked me to escort Lord Lin to meet him." Li Changqing returned slowly.
"Okay, let me clean up." Lin Yuan stood up happily.
"The host has to hurry up. It will be difficult to travel when the sun sets, so you can only go tomorrow." Li Changqing reminded.
"That makes sense. I can clean it up in a quarter of an hour." Lin Yuan looked at Yu Luo again, as if asking for her opinion.
Yu Luo: "Sister, I feel so lonely alone. I want to go too."
Lin Yuan had the same idea and was worried about leaving her here alone.
…
Before leaving, Zhu Wanling said goodbye to the three of them. "I'm naturally relieved to have Senior Sword Immortal escort me, but you still have to be extremely careful. The cult's national teacher's spies might be hiding somewhere."
"I know." Lin Yuan gave her a hug. "Our Sister Zhu also has a motherly side."
"Well, am I old?" Zhu Wanling pretended to be angry.
"No, I mean Sister Zhu is gentle, generous, considerate, and smart!" Lin Yuan spoke sweet words.
"Hey, married people are different. Their mouths are much sweeter." Zhu Wanling teased her.
After saying goodbye to each other, Li Changqing drove the carriage north.
The carriage was bumpy all the way, and Lin Yuan and Yu Luo were drowsy.
"Creaky—" the wooden board of the carriage made a sound.
Yu Luo was awakened by the cool breeze and opened his eyes alertly, "Hero Li, are we here yet?"
"Yes, here we are."
Yu Luo felt a chill in the voice of Hero Li. Just when he was about to wake up Lin Yuan, he was hit on the back of the neck and fainted.
"Sister!" She wanted to wake Lin Yuan up, but her voice was so weak that it was almost inaudible.
When she woke up again, she quickly jumped out of the carriage and looked around. Apart from the bright moonlight, the ground was clean.
She could call out a small snake at any time to find out where she was.
At this moment, she was extremely grateful that her demonic nature was preserved in this world. Walking in the moonlight, she passed through the dense woods, leaving only a rustling sound.
"Brother-in-law, something happened to my sister..." Yu Luo said breathlessly.
Yuan Xuanlang's heart skipped a beat. He looked back at the ruined imperial city. King Nanning needed him to eliminate dissidents and kill enemies to gain merit.
But fame and fortune are nothing compared to his wife. He has always loved beauty more than the country.
He turned around and said to the deputy general, "Tell His Highness that Xuanlang's life is at stake and he cannot accompany you. Please forgive me. Go——"
......
"You are really interesting. You have no martial arts skills, but you have internal strength..." Pei Sizhou stared at Lin Yuan as if he had discovered a new continent.
There were two cuts on Lin Yuan's arm, and her blood was collected by Pei Sizhou in a small jar.
Suddenly, a sharp sound came from the jar.
Pei Sizhou watched the blood-stained Gu worm become unusually active, his eyes burning with passion again. He suddenly had an inspiration.
He wrapped the string around Lin Yuan's wound and made another cut on the nearly clotted wound. Soon, more than a dozen strings were wrapped around Lin Yuan's arms. She remained silent, her face ashen.
Blood dripped onto the ground along thin lines, flowing along the patterns carved on the ground. She felt like she was about to be drained of blood.
"You're a lunatic." Lin Yuan complained weakly. As she felt familiar with this scene, she couldn't help but feel a chill. She bit her lips until they bled, and licked the blood on her lips to temporarily relieve her dry mouth.
The wounds on my body have become numb from the cold wind. This is a cave with open air, and the moon tonight is so bright that it hurts my eyes.
At this moment, a crisp bell rang outside. Pei Sizhou chuckled, "You're here quickly. Let's see who's more powerful, the Sword Immortal Li Changqing or the young man Yuan Xuanlang."
Is it Ah Xuan who is here? Lin Yuan blinked, and her eyes finally showed some emotion.
Yuan Xuanlang came to the deep forest and asked Yu Luo to find a safe place to hide.
Just as Yu Luo hid behind a rock, Pei Sizhou and Li Changqing appeared.
Yuan Xuanlang was immediately furious. "Li Changqing, you traitor! You're so old and yet you're still bullying the younger generation. Isn't that damaging to your moral character?"
Li Changqing raised his eyelids, looked at him coldly, and did not respond.
His white robe was as silent as a pillar in the darkness.
Yuan Xuanlang drew his sword from its sheath, and the cold light of Lingxu Sword reflected the moon, and he swung it forward with unstoppable force. Li Changqing did not draw his sword, but used the sheath to block his attack.
Yuan Xuanlang gripped the hilt of the sword tightly. Facing Li Changqing, he felt unhappy. Li Changqing was half his master.
The two men fought, and the swords flashed as fast as lightning.
"A dignified swordsman has fallen to this point." Yuan Xuanlang held his sword against his.
"Just to save my life." Li Changqing's eyes showed disdain.
"What he gave you, I can do too." Yuan Xuanlang counterattacked with a sword.
Li Changqing took two steps back before steadying himself. "No, I have no way out. Don't forget, you've also learned the Lone Star Sword Style. When your power backfires, will you still be so calm?"
"That day will never come."
"What?" He felt that he had heard wrongly. The founder of the Lone Star Sword Style had gone astray and severed his own meridians with his own hands, and died soon after.
He is just a twenty-year-old boy, what big talk is he talking about!
