Peach Blossom Dyeing Jinge

Jiangyu City at night is like a bird's nest, perched quietly among the branches.

It is surrounded by wilderness everywhere, with a vast territory, but the land is not fertile, and most of it is a wild scene.Nine years ago, this place was a remote deserted frontier, where wild beasts and thieves were rampant in the mountains and forests. The majestic mountains squeezed the road extremely narrow and made the travelers anxious.

At that time, the city of Jiangyu was in vain, the bricks and tiles of the city walls were old and dilapidated, the refugees came in and out at will, there was no control at all, burning, killing, looting and cruelty happened from time to time, and the life of the people was miserable.

After nine years of transformation, Jiangyu City is no longer what it used to be. The city walls are solid and strict, and the guards are trained in an orderly manner. After closing the door every night, the city turns into a peaceful harbor, standing in the vast mountains and fields. protect its people.

However, no matter how strong the wall is, there are flaws.Vulnerabilities often originate from internal erosion.

There is a narrow door by the old wall in the east of the city, half of which has collapsed into the ground, and is surrounded by debris, which is almost invisible from a distance.

It is said that this short gate used to be the passage for envoys to enter and exit during the war, and there were also deserters who fled here, but that was a long time ago.This city is too desolate, even the war is not willing to visit often.On weekdays, the low door is locked tightly all day long, not to mention people, even cats and dogs cannot come in and out from here.

However, this little-known door is not very peaceful tonight.

A nocturnal traveler is passing through it.

The man seemed to be used to sneaking, his steps were very light, his movements were cautious, he lowered the bamboo hat on his head, and hid in the shadow cast by the high wall. From a distance, he couldn't see his face clearly, and he couldn't even tell whether he was male, female, old or young.

He held a letter in his arms, and the letter was written with dense symbols, but none of them were in regular square characters, but twisted like a snake.This is a kind of script that has been spread in northern Xinjiang. It took him a long time to get familiar with the fur and write down simple words and sentences.However, among the many efforts he has made in the past, learning characters is really nothing.

He went out of town to deliver the letter.

Can't post, because his post is not an ordinary person.He crossed a clearing, came to the edge of the forest, hid among the tangled branches, and ignited a very thin firecracker with fire.

The firecrackers ignited quickly, piercing into the sky like a golden snake, and quickly disappeared.

However, its scent has been dispersed by the wind at high altitude, and it has floated to a place higher than the top of the tree.

Not long after, a bird with a blue back fell from the forest.

The name of this bird is Manman, and the more well-known name is lovebird. However, there is only one male bird attracted by the smell. It moves quickly and eagerly, as if it can't wait to return to the female bird. .

However, its female bird is imprisoned in a cage thousands of miles away for people to watch.

The room where the birdcage is located is open, bright and magnificent, which just matches the figure of the female bird with the green back and golden feathers.

There is the end of the letterhead.

Nightwalker looked forward to it, and finally heaved a sigh of relief when the male bird landed on the back of his hand.It hastily took out the letter paper, folded it into a thin roll in its hand, and stuffed it into the bamboo tube at the male bird's feet.

His action was too hasty, and it took him several times to finally succeed.However, a sudden feather arrow interrupted his achievement.

The feather arrows were very thin, but extremely precise. The male bird was startled and quickly flapped its wings and flew high into the sky.

Nightwalker tried to reach out to catch it, but he only grabbed a corner of the bamboo tube. He used too much force, and the bamboo tube and letter paper fell off the male bird's feet together.

The male bird got rid of the encumbrance of the heavy object, flapped its wings at a faster speed, got into the deep forest, and disappeared like a bolt of lightning.

Birds can flap their wings, but people have nowhere to escape.

Nightwalker bent down in a panic to pick up the letter box that fell on the ground. However, the letter box was picked up by another more calm hand, and he weighed it repeatedly with his fingertips.

The Nightwalker wanted to grab it, but the crowd that was chasing him did not allow him to do so.

The crowd surrounded him.

That hand also took out the letter paper, raised it under the eyelids, looked at it for a while, and said with emotion: "Oh, this is the writing of Northern Xinjiang, it's amazing."

A slightly timid voice asked, "Do you know Mr. Liang?"

The person who picked up the letter was Liang Xiao.

After asking questions from the side, the person who looked at him with reverence was none other than Bai Xiuchuan.

Liang Xiao waved his hands and said, "I don't dare to say I know it, I can only recognize some fur. Girl Ajin, please light me a fire and let me take a closer look."

"Okay!" The girl flicked a torch hastily, and touched it with both hands.

Liang Xiao looked at each other and said: "Well... it is roughly an inquiry letter, the tone is very urgent, to the effect that... the situation in Jiangyu City has changed, Lu Zhengqiu has been regarded as the real culprit for some reason, and Bai Mansion has completely disappeared. Trust Di Dongqing... The matter has come to this, what should I do next?"

His tone was relaxed, but what he said was like a thunderclap.

Bai Yunfeng's face was serious, and he asked, "Where did you send this letter?"

The Nightwalker didn't answer.

Liang Xiao spoke instead of him and said: "There are traces to follow. The one shot by the young master's arrow just now was a lovebird. This bird likes the cold and fears dampness. It must have suffered a lot to fly here. I think its female The bird is probably waiting for it somewhere else, as for where the 'elsewhere' is..." He said, turning over the bamboo tube containing the letter paper, and carefully looking at the bottom of the bucket, "Such a small and delicate bamboo tube must have been made by a skilled craftsman. You see, the name of the shop is engraved on the bottom of the cylinder, I have seen this sign before, it is in the capital Anyi."

Anyi!

A group of people turned their attention to Night Walker again.

Night Walker's bamboo hat has been overturned to the ground, however, his true face is still hidden under a layer of black silk cloth.

Si Yutong said in a deep voice: "At first I heard that there was an inner ghost in the Bai Mansion contacting the Devil's Cult, but I didn't believe it. Now it seems that I must believe it."

Following her words, clanging sounds pierced the night.

Di Dongqing drew out the unicorn sword, put it on Ye Xingren's neck, and said word by word: "You are the one who let Nan Yanqi go, and you are the one who put the map in the medical hall. You took this opportunity to lure my master away. And put the blame on me, every step has been planned, even I fell into your trap unknowingly."

Ye Xingren suddenly raised his arms and drew a short knife from behind his back. However, just as his knife was unsheathed, it was blocked by the blade of the Kirin Sword.

As soldiers fought hand to hand, Di Dongqing flipped his wrist and firmly suppressed the opponent's attack with his sharp sword. All the anger accumulated day by day now surfaced on his face.

"I think you should understand that since I have returned safely, I will never let you go. I told lies in public in the daytime just to disturb your mood, and the Devil's Cult has not given you any new orders so far. , can only show one thing, they have abandoned you, just like abandoning Nan Yanqi——haven't you woken up yet!"

After the words were finished, the short knife trembled slightly, revealing the fear of the knife holder.

Fear cannot be veiled over.

Taking advantage of the situation, Di Dongqing took a step forward and said, "Who are you? Now that things have come to an end, why don't you take off your veil."

To his surprise, Bai Yunfeng's voice sounded from beside him: "No need, Mr. Qu, even if you don't take off your veil, how can I not recognize you?"

The dagger finally slipped from Night Walker's hands and fell to the ground with a clatter.

Bai Yunfeng let out a long sigh, and said: "I am very familiar with the way you walk and the way you draw your sword. After all, you have been in Baifu and by our side since a long time ago. Xiuchuan and I are both I grew up looking at your back—"
