The Mask of the Lord

The gray sky suddenly cleared.

Birds in twos and threes flapped their wings happily and flew overhead.

The rustling voices and laughter all around made people feel relieved in their hearts.

Hua Wuque opened his eyes that were as clear as a mirror, and it took a long while to look away from Shan Liuli's body.

As expected, Linghu Shang kept his promise, and in an instant the Spike Army under his command was completely wiped out.

An Qingxu's angry voice still lingered in his ears, which was unpleasant.He thought about straightening his body even more, and looked at the Tiance soldiers who were standing guard at the sentry post in the distance.With one hand resting on one side of her cheek, Hua Wuque thought about the meaningful look Linghu Shang gave when he left, that man was definitely not as easy to fool as he imagined, he would definitely come back.

Just as he was in a daze, someone patted his shoulder hard, and a familiar voice sounded from above his head. "What are you thinking? Playboy." Immediately afterwards, Shan Liuli bent over and lowered her head.

Hua Wuque began to wonder, if he told Shan Liuli what he thought just now, would she agree with him. "I think that man named Linghushang will come back." Hua Wuque said it anyway.

Straightening up, she sat down next to Hua Wuque. Shan Liuli stroked her black ponytail and said, "Young man, has anyone ever told you that you are smart?"

Hua Wuque smiled and said, "Yes."

Shan Liuli asked curiously, "Who?"

Hua Wuque said, "My second master."

Shan Liuli slowly put down her hand and asked, "Is it the Mistress of Lian Xing?"

Hua Wuhua nodded and said, "Yes."

Shan Liuli raised her eyebrows, and instead of continuing to ask questions, she turned her gaze to the wounded in the distance.

"Young Master Hua, how long do you think the Tiance Mansion can guard?" Shan Liuli asked, with the corners of her mouth slightly curved upwards.

Hua Wuque shook his head and replied, "I don't know."

Judging from the current situation, the pattern is quite clear. If the tens of thousands of soldiers of Tiance Mansion insist on guarding this place, within half a month, this place will become the burial place of these soldiers.They did use An Qingxu's order to make Linghu Shang have to retreat, but this was just a tactic to delay the troops.They have seen the result of head-to-head confrontation before. With tens of thousands of people against the enemy's Spike army, it is simply hitting a stone with an egg and overreaching.

The whole Tiance Mansion probably never thought of surviving from the very beginning.

They all stood here with the determination to die.

Hua Wuque looked at Shan Liuli, and suddenly asked, "Is Miss Li planning to live and die with these soldiers?"

Shan Liuli looked directly into Hua Wuque's eyes, smiled slightly and said, "No, I have more important things to do."

Hua Wuque asked, "When will Miss Li leave?"

He didn't ask the reason or anything else, he just asked the time when Shan Liuli set off.

Shan Liuli tilted her head and said, "Don't you ask why?"

Hua Wuque smiled and said, "Miss Li has your own reasons for doing things, Hua will not ask too much."

He is a person who has a certain amount of advance and retreat, and there is nothing wrong with such a Hua Wuque, no wonder Yang Ning and the others are particularly fond of him.

Hua Wuque is born to be a person who cannot be bored.

Shan Liuli lowered her head, stretched out her hand to pick up a dead branch, scratched on the stone steps, and said, "You are such a strange person who cannot be more strange."

Hua Wuque smiled and said, "Thank you Miss Li for your praise."

Shan Liuli: "..."

Isn't she complimenting him?Does Hua Wuque have a system that automatically converts all words into good words →_→

Seven days after An Qingxu was arrested and Linghu wounded and retreated, Shan Liuli and Hua Wuque left Tiance Mansion on horseback.Entrusted by Li Chengen and Zhu Jianqiu, they delivered a letter to Xie Yuan, the leader of the Haoqi League who was guarding Mawei Post.There is a long distance from Tiance Mansion to Mawei Station, in order to avoid encountering the Spike Army, they deliberately disguised themselves before setting off. In fact, it was only Shan Liuli who disguised. His own temperament.

Shan Liuli changed into the Beggar Clan's costume, and the disguise was simple and elegant.Dressed in purple clothes, with long black hair, it was casually pulled into a bun and fixed with a wooden hairpin in the shape of a cloud.She was riding a horse, side by side with Hua Wuque, and the two of them passed through Fenghua Valley and passed a mountain road.On the mountain road, the maple leaves were like fire, falling to the ground one by two, forming a thick red blanket.

When the previous lane turned out and was about to enter another lane, Shan Liuli's little white horse riding in front suddenly knelt and fell to the ground.

Quickly dismounted, landed firmly, and drew out the long sword in his hand, brushed it a few times, and blocked a few hidden weapons.

Immediately afterwards, Hua Wuque dismounted immediately and shouted, "Who?"

Shan Liuli tightly held the sword in her hand, and fought with several people who suddenly appeared, there were five people in total, three of them were wearing red clothes, and the other two were wearing ordinary clothes and green robes.

The man in red is obviously a member of the Red Clothes sect, so the other two are probably from Anlu Mountain.

The two red-clothed believers are average in martial arts and are easy to deal with, but the leader, the red-clothed woman, is very difficult to deal with.The woman is good at wielding a scimitar, and a scimitar in her hand is like a living thing.The swords intersected with the knives, sporadic sparks splashed everywhere.Shan Liuli used her strength to volley upwards, and hit the woman's head with her sword.

"Kill them and take the letters! (Loulan language)" the woman murmured suddenly. Although she didn't understand, Shan Liuli knew that she was definitely not addressing her.

As soon as the woman's voice fell, the two following men in red combined their swords and attacked her with defense as offense.One against three is really not an ordinary effort, the two following men in red are mediocre in martial arts, but once they cooperate, they have a tacit understanding, and it is very difficult to capture the two of them at once.

Really unable to fight recklessly, Shan Liuli could only retreat steadily, retreating in the direction of Hua Wuque.

Hua Wuque was fighting two against one at the moment, the white horse was frightened and ran away alone, while Shan Liuli sat on the horse that had already become the soul of the road.

The two young men who were hostile to Hua Wuque were not easy-going, they were a pair of twins, their movements and martial arts were almost exactly the same. Because of this, the combination of the two swords would not make them invincible, but they also cooperated tacitly and did not make any difference. flaw.

Hua Wuque held a silver sword in his hand, the blade was narrow, it seemed to be thinner than chopsticks, but it was five feet long, from the beginning to the end, the silver light flowed, as if it would fly away at any moment. (Note 1)

The Seven Swords' false moves, although they were all false moves, under the dazzling sword light, the twins were really not sure if it was a false move, so they could only parry and dodge, but no matter how they parried and dodged, it was all based on Hua Wuque's calculation middle.

Those two young men avoided four sword strikes, but they couldn't pay back even one sword strike.

Shan Liuli dodged the woman's scimitar sideways, and the sword in his hand struck twice like lightning.

But the two men in red behind the woman seemed to expect her to make such a move, and immediately stepped forward, one protecting the woman, the other attacking Dan Liuli, the tip of the sword swept across the blade.

Shan Liuli only felt the sword in her hand tremble slightly, then she turned her wrist and swung the sword sideways, towards the two young men who were very close to her.

When the sword brushed against the robe of one of the young men, Shan Liuli saw that there were uneven cracks on her blade.

"Catch the woman and kill the man! (Loulan language)" the woman said: "We must grab that letter (Loulan language)"

The man in red said: "Yes! (Loulan language)"

Shan Liuli was forced to the edge of the cliff, and she threw the long sword in her hand sideways.

The blade of the sword swept across, toward Hong Yi.

"Miss Li, little..." At this time, Hua Wuque's voice suddenly sounded, but before she finished speaking, she saw her heels hanging off the edge of the cliff, and her body leaned back with strength.

Almost subconsciously, Hua Wuque quickly appeared in front of Shan Liuli, and with a flash of a figure, he had already reached her, reached out and grabbed Shan Liuli's sword-holding wrist, and pulled it forward forcefully.

As soon as Shan Liuli was pulled closer by Hua Wuque, she saw the five people behind him holding swords and stabbing Hua Wuque's back full of flaws.Between falling and being stabbed to death, no matter how you see it, the former still has a chance of survival, so she pulled hard, and under Hua Wuque's astonished gaze, she pulled him down the cliff beside the road.

The two fell down quickly, and when the world was spinning and chaotic, Shan Liuli could only feel Hua Wuque's hand firmly grabbing her wrist.

******

The grass is green and the spring water is gurgling.

The chirping of birds sounded crisply nearby.

The sound of spring water colliding with stones kept ringing. If it weren't for this situation, Hua Wuque would feel that the current scene is refreshing.

Hua Wuque opened his eyes, his first reaction was to look to the side, his memory before fainting was still fresh and clearly engraved in his mind.

They were attacked.

There is a fishy-sweet taste in the mouth, which is disgusting.He sat up, but just as he was about to move, he found a stabbing pain in his left leg.Supporting his body with his elbows, he slowly stretched out his hand to touch the leg bone, and found that his leg bone was broken.Looking around, Hua Wuque realized that he had to straighten his position immediately and fix his right leg with something, otherwise he would be in serious trouble when the bones were dislocated.

However, there is nothing on this river bank.

He looked up and looked down again, thankful that he was borrowed by the strange big tree with curved branches on the bank of the river, so when he fell, he only broke his right leg bone .

Thinking of this, Hua Wuque suddenly found that Shan Liuli was not there.

Yes, Shan Liuli fell down with him, but she wasn't here.

Where has she gone?

Just when he was lost in thought, he heard Shan Liuli's voice coming from in front of him. "Thank goodness you're awake at last, dandy." She held some planks in her hand, and a thick stick that looked freshly whittled.

When Hua Wuque saw her approaching with a bunch of things, he couldn't help showing a faint smile on the corner of his mouth.

He began to think, if Shan Liuli really left him alone, what should he do?

However, this is just a thought, in fact Shan Liuli will not abandon him.

When Shan Liuli came over with a bunch of things in her arms, Hua Wuque saw her start to whine and complain. "Really, there is nothing in the mountains and forests below the road, not even a wild fruit. Now your right leg bone is broken. In addition to fixing it, you also need to repair your body, but this place is too broken I didn’t even find any wild game!! Could it be that they were all hunted down by the nearby Spike Army??”

Shan Liuli had already washed her face just now, and tied her long black hair into a ponytail and threw it behind her back, so except for the slightly messy purple clothes, she looked refreshed.

On the other hand, Hua Wuque was covered in dirty white clothes, her long hair was disheveled, and her pretty face looked as if it had been buried in coals for a day, dirty.

"Miss Li, are you alright?" After going through life and death, Hua Wuque's first words when he saw Shan Liuli were concerned about her well-being. As for his own injury, he didn't seem to take it to heart.

Staring at his face, Shan Liuli scratched her head in embarrassment, and said, "Well, let me wash your face first, your current appearance is not at all as good as usual."

Hua Wuque said: "Miss Li is fine, Hua is fine."

Shan Liuli: "..."

This man is really a good person, I really want to put good person cards all over him.

Good people don't take it so seriously! !Anyway, it was because of her that he fell down, at least blame her once, she is so guilty and swollen? ?
