Mirror: Twin Cities

The hanging branches moved without wind, as if a giant net was under the head of the sheng.

"Oh!" Na Sheng exclaimed, and subconsciously raised his hand to protect herself, the willow branches wrapped her wrists all at once, and pulled into the tree hole-suddenly, the tree quickly loosened the Sheng. His hand uttered a stern scream. In the event of a lightning strike, the tree tops to the roots would tremble violently, the leaves rustled to the ground, the whole tree wilted and died at an alarming speed, and the roots flowed bleeding red juice. .

"Huh?" Na Sheng rubbed his wrist and jumped back, watching the weird scene in front of him.

"Come here!" But Murong Xiu didn't have time to say more, and pulled the Dongba girl who was still in a daze, pulling her back to the road, away from the dying willow.

"Strange...what's going on?" Na Sheng looked at the tree in surprise, and then frowned when he saw the thick and white bones exposed under the tree roots.

Murong Xiu let go of her hand, slightly surprised: "Is the girl's right hand injured?"

"Uh...yes, yes! I was sprained." Na Sheng raised his tightly bandaged right hand, looked at it, suddenly understood in his heart, and quickly agreed.

The dusk is getting thicker, and the group of people is approaching the foot of the mountain. The village houses underneath are vividly visible, with smoke lingering, and terraces crisscrossing, which looks quite prosperous.

"The mountain is our township——" Yang Gongquan stood on the mountain road and pointed at the foot of the mountain, introducing, "It is one of the twelve counties of the country of Zezhi, because here is the Tianque, the ancestors of the country of Zezhi came from Zhongzhou first At the time, it was said that Taohuayuan had arrived, so it was passed down from old age and it was called Taoyuan County."

Mao Jiangfeng let out a long sigh of relief, and Jiang Chupei both smiled with joy.

"Hey, the broken house that doesn't smoke is a humble house." Yang Gongquan said with a bitter face, and pointed somewhere, "The old lady at home must have no rice to cook again... I ran to Tianque for nothing this time, and it didn't. Bring back anything you can eat. I’m afraid that apart from staying overnight, you will not be able to serve guests, so I’m ashamed."

Murongxiu looked at Yang Gongquan's face and rags, and thought for a while, took out a sprig of yao grass from his back basket, and put it in his palm: "Brother Yang, don't worry. When you go down the mountain, you will sell this yao grass. , It’s good to just live."

A sprig of Yaocao was enough to buy a good land and a beautiful house. Yang Gongquan was overjoyed and quickly grabbed it. He couldn't thank him again and again, and he didn't even feel any pain in his legs.

"I want too!" Na Sheng yelled while looking at it heartily, while the pair of scholar girls just looked from a distance, showing envy, but the scholar was self-satisfied after all and did not speak.

Murongxiu pondered for a moment, and walked over to Mao Jiangfeng the barbata that was just left by Yang Gongquan’s wounds, and handed over: "Although I never knew my life, but after all, I walked with this brother all the way-you can't do it anymore. I feel ashamed to see Ms. Jiang's misfortune. I will be separated soon, so I can keep some meager things as a memorial to Xiongtai."

Mao Jiangfeng took the Yam Cao in his hand, knowing the preciousness of this thing, knowing that the other party was out of pity for the misfortune of both of them, and his heart suddenly surged and wanted to decline. But then I thought about the boundless future, and it was not good to go to Yunhuang without any long objects, so he couldn't help but bowed his head to accept it, but also bowed his hand in return: "So, thank you brother Murong for the gift, this kind of grace, I will never forget it."

"How about me! How about me!" Seeing Murong Xiu take out the Yao Cao points to give to the left and right, the Sheng became more and more tickled, stretched out his hand, and stretched his palm up in front of him. However, Murong Xiu just glanced at her and said indifferently: "Ms. Sheng, the fairy entrusts you to take care of you along the road. You don't have to worry about your food, clothing and daily life, so why bother to ask for Yaocao?"

Na Sheng frowned, dissatisfied: "I'm just curious to show it, stingy."

Murong Xiu didn't go to see her, but looked down at her tightly bandaged hands, and smiled: "Or, if the girl is willing to change the things in her hands with me, that's okay."

Seeing his kind but sharp eyes staring at his wrapped right hand, Na Sheng jumped away like a hot, blushing: "What, what...you want the smelly bandage too? It's strange. "

Murong Xiu smiled, stopped talking, and continued on his way.

After walking another distance, Yang Gongquan suddenly exclaimed: "Look! What's the matter? These people are dead!"

The group heard the sound and saw Yang Gongquan looking at several newly dead bodies on the side of the mountain road—under the dim setting sun, they saw that those people were also dressed in Zhongzhou, dressed in ragged clothes, piled on top of each other, and blood was poured on the ground.

However, what is surprising is that the reason for the fatalities of those people was not caused by the ferocious beasts that I saw along the road just now-the broken arrows and all over the knife marks on their bodies were obviously slaughtered.

It's very close to the foot of the mountain. Could there be robbers again?

While thinking about it, the grass under the mountain suddenly separated, and dozens of powerful crossbows emerged from the grass and aimed at the pedestrian.

Yang Gongquan saw the blue and white feathers of the archers, and recognized that they were the guards walking in the official government office of Zezhi, and he waved his hand and shouted, "Don't shoot the official! Don't shoot the official! These are all from Zhongzhou, not robbers. Bad guy!"

"I want to kill Zhongzhou." When the guard in the lead heard this, he snorted and waved vigorously. "The governor-general received the holy city's ruling this morning: All those who come from Tianque East today will be killed without mercy! "

As soon as the sound fell, the crossbow roared, and the group of people evaded and fled back. Jiang Chupei couldn't walk, and fell on the mountain road. Mao Jiangfeng wanted to pull her, but the crossbow fell like rain. He hurriedly flinched and ran away.

"Be careful!" Seeing those arrows shooting towards Jiang Chupei, Na Sheng jumped over before he could even think about it. She didn't know how to parry. She opened her heart and stopped in front, closed her eyes, and quickly muttered silently. ——Rings, rings, if you are really useful, show your spirits!

The whistling sound, the sound of breaking through the air. She closed her eyes tightly and did not dare to open them, so she shouted at Jiang Chupei: "Run! Run!"

"Run!" Suddenly, someone yelled at her in the ear, and pulled her collar back.

Na Sheng opened his eyes and saw that all the arrows that had been shot had fallen in front of her, forming a black pile, and the guards of the country of Ze on the mountain road had jumped out of the grass and chased them with swords. Within ten feet.

"Run!" Murong Xiu came up and pulled her back, yelling at her in a daze.

"Oh!" Na Sheng was taken aback, turned around quickly, grabbed Murong Xiu's arm, stumbled and ran.

The darkness enveloped the wild land, as if a huge black velvet lightly covered the clear and smooth Jinghu Lake. The fog permeated the endless lake, and it seemed to have opened a huge screen on the lake in the center of the Yunhuang Continent.

In the mist, smoke, and water, the shadows were fascinating, and countless phantoms slid down in the night.

The star down plains. Sirius has escaped orbit and disappeared below the horizon. However, Zhaoxing star appeared in the sky above Yunhuang, white and ignorant, like an erratic white spirit. Suddenly up and down. It was a battle star as ominous as a Sirius, and the corresponding division where it appeared would surely lead to war.

Under the night, the one who silently looked up at the battle star at the same time did not know how many eyes there were.

"Hey, Ting, look—" Somewhere under the sky, a black-clothed man sitting by the bonfire pulled up his cloak to block the cold into the night, looked at the sky and greeted the girl who was drawing water from the side, "It's a star. Sirius has broken away from the process, and Zhaoming has emerged now...this country seems to be in a mess."

"For the master, it doesn't matter what the world becomes, right?" The aqua-blue-haired girl came over with a smile and took out a leather bag from her suitcase. Just bet money."

"Haha, did you still say that there is no wine yesterday?" He took the leather bag and shook it. Hearing the voice inside, the man in black laughed and looked at the petite girl with long aqua-blue hair, "Ting, you little fraud."

"I won't be in Taoyuan County until tomorrow. I'm afraid the master will run out of drinks and will be greedy tonight." The girl named "Ting" began to prepare dinner by the fire, cut the fresh fish on the fire and roasted them, and puffed them up. Mouth, "But, I said, Master, can't you show Ting to Ting without drinking for a day?"

"You can't help but call me'master'?" He raised his head and took a big sip, wiped the corners of his mouth, and the man in black frowned. The slave guy!"

Ting washed the cassava and wild vegetables with the water she had drawn, and raised her head to smile at the man in black: "It is precisely because the owner is not that kind of guy that Ting is called the owner."

"..." Dizzy by the series of "masters", the black-clothed man knew that he couldn't argue with the eloquent Ting, so he picked up the leather bag and took a sip, only to find that there were only a few drops of wine in it. Feeling even more depressed, he threw the leather bag far away and muttered: "If you go faster, you will be in Taoyuan County about tomorrow afternoon, right? I heard that there is a Ruyi gambling house there, and the lady owner makes a good wine... …"

"Master, don't attract the greedy insects, eat the fish." Hearing the black-clothed man's stomach croaking, Ting couldn't help laughing, and handed the grilled fish to his hand, then lowered his head to peel off the tuber. , Wash the leaves of wild vegetables.

The man in black took the fish wrapped in leaves, but didn't eat it. He just looked at the hard-working girl through the extinguished fire.

Although she is over a hundred years old, as a shark, she is still like a child. The figure is very petite, with slender hands and ankles, as fragile as colored glaze. Ting has beautiful long aqua blue hair. This obvious feature makes Yunhuangsang
