Liang Shaoqing was slightly moved when he heard this. After thinking for a long time, he finally asked, "This is all the money you have left. If you give it all to me, what will you do?"
"I'll be fine," Chu Qiao smiled softly and said, "If it weren't for me, you wouldn't be in this situation. Although you were stupid, I can't escape the blame either. Take it. Be more careful in the future and don't be stupid and meddlesome."
Liang Shaoqing rarely refuted. He held the banknotes in his hand, lost in thought, and said nothing.
Chu Qiao took a deep breath, leaned against the pillar, and looked at the bright moon outside the window. Her eyes were calm, having lost their usual sharpness and gaining a bit of feminine softness.
Liang Shaoqing raised his head, looked at her strangely, and suddenly asked, "Where are you going?"
"Me? I'm going home."
"Your home is in Bian Tang?"
"No," the girl shook her head gently, "My home is far away, it's a long way to go."
"The road is not peaceful right now. You are a girl, so you have to be more careful."
Chu Qiao smiled slightly without answering. Her eyes were like soft moonlight, and her eyelashes were long and black, casting a silhouette on her cheeks. Seeing that she didn't answer, Liang Shaoqing introduced himself and said, "I'm going to Bian Tang."
Chu Qiao responded in a low voice: "Oh."
Liang Shaoqing's voice was suddenly filled with longing and joy, as if he was talking about something very proud and remarkable: "I am going to Tangjing to visit Mr. Cao Zhongmou."
"Bian Tang's Minister of Rites Cao Zhongmou?"
"Yes! You also know Mr. Cao?"
Chu Qiao nodded: "Mr. Cao's poetry and prose are unparalleled, and he is famous all over the world. Who doesn't know him?"
"You are right," Liang Shaoqing said, "I have come all the way here just to admire your reputation. I must meet Mr. Cao."
“It’s good to have an idol that you admire in your heart, but you don’t have to get close to him. It would be a pity if you return disappointed.”
"How could that be?" Liang Shaoqing said unhappily, "Mr. Cao is a scholar with a great reputation, how could I be disappointed?"
"Really?" Chu Qiao smiled: "Then I wish you get what you want."
The wind from outside blew in, and the torches on the ground crackled. Liang Shaoqing thought for a while, then asked tentatively, "Why did the government arrest you?"
Chu Qiao didn't even look up: "Don't you know?"
Liang Shaoqing was stunned: "What do I know?"
The woman said nonchalantly, "Didn't you say that I am a habitual thief? You are right. I was caught stealing things, so I was chased."
Liang Shaoqing was stunned for a moment. Chu Qiao turned around and said with a smile, "Yes, the food you eat and the banknotes in your hand were all stolen by me. Even the money I used to buy you the first time was stolen from others. Now that you know your situation, do you still want to stick to the heroic spirit of a seven-foot-tall man and refuse these banknotes and food?"
"I...I..."
Liang Shaoqing kept saying "I" for a long time but still didn't utter a complete sentence. Chu Qiao burst out laughing when she saw it. Her smile was so bright and her teeth were so white that it almost dazzled Liang Shusheng's eyes for a moment.
However, at this moment, Chu Qiao frowned suddenly, and immediately stopped smiling. She turned her head abruptly, and sat up like a vigilant leopard. The night wind was howling, and soon, in the quiet night, countless tiny footsteps were heard, quickly approaching the ruined temple.
At this time, even Liang Shaoqing heard something was wrong. The man came closer nervously and asked in a low voice, "Are Boss Mu's men chasing us?"
Chu Qiao didn't say anything, but she had already rejected this possibility in her heart. It is impossible for Boss Mu to mobilize so many people with his ability, and just by listening to the footsteps of the people coming, he can tell that everyone on the other side practices martial arts and their martial arts skills are quite good. She slowly stood up, put her hand on her sword, and said slowly: "You must follow behind me later. Whether you can survive depends on you."
As soon as he finished speaking, a white light suddenly flashed out. Danger! Chu Qiao's reaction was so fast that her body moved subconsciously. She flashed and pounced forward. She swung her arm to the right and a cold light suddenly shot into the thick darkness. There was a muffled sound of "puff" and a scream from outside, and then a silver arrow pierced her body fiercely.
The other party has made up their minds to leave no one alive. This stop tonight is indeed extremely dangerous!
"Follow me!" Chu Qiao shouted in a low voice, rolled over and flashed to the side of the window, drew the long sword at her waist, and blocked the oncoming rain of arrows with one sword. Noisy footsteps sounded outside the door, and a dense rain of arrows instantly rushed towards the two of them like locusts.
Chaotic footsteps were heard outside the door, and countless figures rushed into the ruined temple. Without saying a word, they drew the long swords at their waists and slashed forward fiercely!
The cold light suddenly increased, and two people in black night clothes rushed in front of Chu Qiao. Before Chu Qiao could make a move, one of them had already chopped Chu Qiao's head with a knife.
Take action! Take the wrist! Chu Qiao's movements were as fast as lightning. There was a sound of a broken bone, and it was dislocated! The knife falls! In an instant, the man in black fell to the ground, screaming like a puddle of mud.
“Idiot! Follow me!” Grabbing the frightened Liang Shaoqing, Chu Qiao flew up and kicked the other man hard in the chest. With the sound of bones breaking, the man flew away with blood spurting out of his mouth. The girl shook her body, drew out the long sword from her waist, and swung it with great force and with a completely desperate attitude, powerful collisions, clever dodging, and precise chops. For a moment, the girl's precise killing skills and powerful bloody momentum made these people stay away and dare not come forward.
"Go! Go!"
The leader pushed his retreating men and shouted loudly. Chu Qiao turned her head and looked at him coldly, sneering, and threw the last flying knife. The blade seemed to have eyes and pierced into the man's heart with a whoosh. The man's eyes suddenly widened, his feet trembled, and he fell to the ground with a plop!
The flash of swords was dazzling. The dilapidated temple was narrow and not many people could come in. Wherever Chu Qiao passed, there was a mess. The sharp swords flew across the sky and all the enemies were crippled with one move. The important thing was that Chu Qiao had weapons everywhere on her body. She attacked with both hands at the same time. Her hands, feet, legs and elbows could all kill the enemy. For a moment, no one could stop her and she was invincible.
However, at this moment, Liang Shaoqing behind her suddenly screamed. Chu Qiao didn't think twice and suddenly turned her body to the side. In an instant, a sharp pain came from her left rib. She didn't have time to check the injury. Her hand slipped and the sword slashed horizontally. The Broken Moon Sword flew past at an angle, and half of the opponent's head was instantly missing. Blood splattered all over Liang Shaoqing's face. The scholar, who had never killed even a chicken, screamed in a shrill voice, even more tragic than the scream of someone being beheaded!
Incredibly fast, the injured woman moved even more rapidly, her petite body moving left and right in the narrow space. In a short while, the ground was filled with enemies.
"Hold me!" the girl suddenly shouted. Before Liang Shaoqing could react, he heard a large number of enemies rushing in from outside the door. The man couldn't understand why a slave trader would go to such great lengths to arrest him. At this moment, Chu Qiao threw away the hook at her waist, swung her arm horizontally, and hooked the crossbeam of the roof.
The girl immediately grabbed the rope and rushed up like a monkey. When Liang Shaoqing wanted to hug her, it was too late.
Another round of dense rain of arrows suddenly came. Chu Qiao squatted on the beam, hooked the rope on Liang Shaoqing's belt, then grabbed the other end of the rope, jumped down with great force, and passed by Liang Shaoqing. In the blink of an eye, the man who was in the way was carried to the roof by her!
"Quick! Release the arrows!"
"Hold the rope!" Chu Qiao shouted, then pulled the rope and climbed up in a few steps. Arrows rained down densely, and Chu Qiao was hit on the shoulder accidentally, bleeding profusely.
"Ah! You're hurt!"
"Stop talking nonsense!" Chu Qiao shouted coldly, kicked the tiles on the roof to pieces, and pulled Liang Shaoqing to climb out from the beam.
Arrows were hitting the beams with a crackling sound. Someone shouted, "The target is on the roof. Go up and catch him!"
However, when they ran out and climbed up onto the roof, there was no trace of Chu Qiao.
The men in black looked at each other in bewilderment. After a while, one of them took off his black coat and said angrily, "She escaped from such a trap! I have lived in vain for so many years!"
I saw that under the black clothes, he was wearing a military uniform.
Another person shook his head and said, "We lost a lot of people in Tangmaling. If it was an ordinary woman, the imperial capital would not have promised us so many benefits."
"I think it's better not to do this."
"You want to do it," the man shook his head, "it will be much harder to catch her in the future." "How are you?"
In the thick darkness of the night, Liang Shaoqing ran quickly in the narrow alley with Chu Qiao on his back. The wound on his shoulder was not serious, but the wound under his left rib was very serious and bleeding.
Chu Qiao groaned, gritted her teeth and said in a deep voice: "Put me down."
"ah?"
"Put me down!"
The woman said in a deep voice: "They didn't catch up."
"Who said we didn't catch up?"
A low voice suddenly sounded in the darkness. They were both startled and looked up, only to see Boss Mu walking out with more than twenty men, smiling.
Liang Shaoqing shouted: "It's you!"
Boss Mu didn't even look at him. His green eyes stared at Chu Qiao tightly and he said with a smile, "You little brat, you have a lot of enemies. We are looking for you. It's really a case of searching everywhere but finding you is easy."
Liang Shaoqing suddenly stood up, stretched out his arms to block Chu Qiao, and summoned up his courage to shout: "Catch you if you want! Don't hurt her!"
"Don't hurt her?" Boss Mu snorted coldly, "I won't let anyone go!"
"Someone, come! Capture this boy. He's handsome and can definitely be sold for a good price."
The crowd rushed forward and quickly captured the seriously injured Chu Qiao and the powerless Liang Shaoqing.
Boss Mu waved his hand and said, "Let's go! Back to the market!"
