My husband, please respect yourself. The princess is here to grab the bride.

Chapter 183 Arrows in the Moonlight

silence.

Suddenly there was a cat's meow.

The woman who was quite far behind Shang Shu gently touched the cat in her arms, but the cat continued to meow.

Seems a little uneasy.

It seems like he is about to explode.

Shang Shu suddenly sighed and looked around:

"In the past, the old man had twelve disciples and six sword slaves."

"The old man is truly amazing. I've searched for ages over the years but haven't been able to find all of his twelve disciples or his six sword slaves."

“But I still know a few.”

"For example, you, for example, Lao Yu... He should be Jian Liu."

"Well, among the twelve disciples, the King of Zhenxi is one of them."

Jian Er narrowed his eyes and looked at Shang Shu, his gaze becoming increasingly fierce: "It seems that the master was wrong to spare your life back then."

Shang Shu shook his head: "No, this is the old man's strength."

"He knows that I am the only one who abides by the rules of the Xuanjing Division. If it were someone else, it would probably be different. After all, the old man doesn't want Xingguo to be in chaos. After all, it's not our Xingguo that he really wants to deal with."

Jian Er pondered for three breaths. "But there are many people in Xingguo who want to kill this old man and the young master! Including your stupid grandson!"

Shang Shu smiled bitterly.

"You're right. My grandson... is indeed stupid, but he doesn't know about those old stories. No one except me can enter the seventh floor of the Red Mansion. That's where the real secret of the Red Mansion lies."

Sword Two:

"That's not a reason. You should know that anyone who dares to harm the young master must die!"

Shang Shu raised his eyebrows slightly: "What if the emperor wants Bai Shaoqiu's life?"

"Then the Emperor will die!"

Shang Shu took a deep breath. "This is what the royal family is most worried about. However, the secret that Bai Shaoqiu is the young master...it remains a secret to this day. As long as you wish, it can even remain a secret forever!"

This was Shang Shu's compromise.

Jian Er didn't know why Shang Shu compromised.

If Shang Shu made the young master's identity public, the young master would never be able to arrive in Chang'an alive, or leave Chang'an alive.

Jian Er shook off the ashes from his pipe and put the pipe on his waist.

He took the small sword in his armpit and did not accept Shang Shu's compromise.

Because only the dead can keep secrets!

Shang Shu took a step back:

"Are you still going to do it?"

"Well, you should die!"

"Just because I know your young master is Bai Shaoqiu?!"

"This is one, and there is another!"

"You promised the King of Zhenxi that you would hand over the Xuanjing Division to the young master when he grew up. The King of Zhenxi believed your lies, an old man, and that's why he didn't lead the army north."

"The old emperor has sat comfortably on the throne these past few years, but what about you? You've appointed a young master, and he's your own grandson!"

"Do you know why I didn't kill your grandson?"

"I've been waiting for you to give me an explanation!"

"I let you slip away in Xiling City, but you still didn't dare to!"

"The monk may escape, but the temple cannot. I also want to go to Kyoto."

"I've been in Xiling City for so long, it's time for me to go to Kyoto!"

"Eighteen years have passed since I left the martial arts world. It seems that everyone in the martial arts world has forgotten my name."

"If you still don't show up... when you return to Kyoto, it will be time for you to collect the body of your grandson!"

"Since you've shown up, you must be ready to fight me."

Jian Er pinched the sword formula, raised the small sword horizontally, and the sword light suddenly increased by twelve inches!

His old eyes, which were fixed on Shang Shu, suddenly lit up:

"Draw out the sword!"

"and many more!"

"The moon is bright today. You can see clearly when you go."

Shang Shu: "Is the old man dead?"

Jian Er didn't answer.

His old eyes slowly narrowed.

Shang Shu suddenly felt a chill and quickly took three steps back: "Don't do it!"

"I already knew your young master was Bai Shaoqiu!"

"I didn't mention it to anyone. This is my respect and promise to the old man!"

"But you also know how miserable your young master has been over the years!"

"If he remains the same as before, I will still not hand over the Xuan Jing Division to him!"

Jian Er took a step forward: "What now?"

"hold on!"

"What are you waiting for?"

"Wait until he goes to Kyoto to meet the Emperor, wait for a sufficient reason to hand over the Xuanjing Division to him, wait... wait until news of the Zhenxi King's war in the Western Wasteland reaches Kyoto!"

As he said this, Shang Shu took out a small jade-colored bronze mirror from his arms.

He threw the bronze mirror to Jian Er.

"The three swords of the Xuanjing Division, seeing this order is like seeing the master."

Jian Er took it and put it into his arms without even looking at it. The sword's light faded ten inches and he asked:

"Who is waiting for the King of Zhenxi in the Western Wasteland?"

“…Nian Yu Ai!”

Jian Er was stunned for a moment, then suddenly smiled and turned away.

Not until his back disappeared did the woman holding the cat come forward and ask curiously:

"Just hand us over to that Mr. Bai?"

"Why don't you try to see what that old fellow's skills are?"

"Number two in the world... Nearly twenty years have passed, and he still dares to call himself the best..."

Before she finished her words, a sword flew out from the moonlight!

Her expression suddenly changed. Her hand just touched the whip at her waist when the sword flew over her head.

She didn't even have time to dodge!

The sword cut off her bun.

Hair fluttering in the moonlight.

Her hair was scattered and the cat in her arms didn't dare to make a single meow!

Shang Shu looked at her miserable appearance, shook his head and smiled bitterly:

“I actually want to try it, but I don’t have the courage to do it.”

"Thank goodness I didn't try."

"Sword slave...the sword slave of Xiqi Cangjian Pavilion...he is truly the best in the world!"

"Remember this, the three of you. Keep tonight's events to yourself. Otherwise, he will truly exterminate all nine of your clans!"

"Let's go!"

"Where?"

“…Western Wasteland!”

……

……

Western wilderness.

The moonlight is like silver.

There is a city in the middle of the desert.

The city is called the Golden Staff Royal Court!

The city is at the foot of a mountain.

The name of the mountain...Huangshan!

The barren mountain is extremely high and long, lying quietly on the vast yellow sand like a winding dragon.

The 30,000 elite troops of the Western Frontier Army led by the King of Zhenxi are at the foot of this barren mountain, less than 500 feet away from the Golden Staff Royal Court.

The Golden Staff Royal Court in the distance was pitch black, like a dead city.

Maybe it is a dead city.

Old Yu drinks under the moon.

Asked, "Why not attack?"

The King of Zhenxi did not look at that city.

He was looking at the barren mountain.

"No rush, just wait."

"What are you waiting for?"

"Wait for Shang Shu."

“…He’ll come?”

"Well, he will definitely come!"

"What is he here for?"

"He came to give me an explanation!"

Old Yu was stunned for a moment, drank, and pondered for a long time: "Isn't it a bit too risky?"

The King of Zhenxi smiled slightly: "Aren't they waiting to put a tiger like me into a cage?"

"Just give them a surprise."

……

……

Bai Shaoqiu didn't know that something else happened that night.

The moonlight is still bright.

The embers of Changting Station are still burning.

People died all over the ground.

Blood was all over the floor.

It has to be said that after witnessing this battle, Bai Shaoqiu had a new understanding of the Shadow Guard's combat effectiveness.

If Dongfang Xun had not arrived in time with his shadow guards, the outcome of this battle would have been uncertain.

Of course, his life is safe.

This came from the moment when Eunuch Wei lifted him up and flew dozens of feet.

Master!

This old eunuch is actually an absolute master!

He was not nervous at all.

He even flew him to the row of stoves and said... he was hungry!

Even if you want to kill someone, you have to eat first.

Based on this calmness, Bai Shaoqiu concluded that he was a master!

However, as a result, forty or fifty of Zhao Poshan's one hundred eunuch guards died.

Nearly half of it was lost.
