Chapter 77
Li Xianchen stretched out his hand to the helpless woman on the ground, "Miss Gouyue, are you okay?"

The sound was deafening, and she was immersed in her own sorrow, unable to escape. Everyone could see that she was filled with grief and anger. She threw the box away and split it in half with a knife.

Li Xianchen was left in the front hall by her.

The people from Wanshou Hall removed the body.

Not long after, someone came to clean up the blood on the ground, and everything ended, as if the fight just now didn't exist.

He shook his head, swayed his clothes, and left.

Gou Yue hurriedly ran back to the courtyard and led away the fast horse. Even though her Qinggong was very advanced, she couldn't sustain it for a long time if she couldn't use enough internal strength. Although she was feeling aggrieved and angry now, her mind was still somewhat clear. She Two feet cannot outrun a four-legged horse.

Seeing her panic, Tai Yao'er didn't know what happened, "Senior sister, where are you going? Just now I heard the fighting of weapons. Are you injured?"

Gou Yue pushed her away and jumped onto the horse.

Lin Xiaofeng stood in front of the horse in a blink of an eye.

"Get out of the way!" she said coldly.

Lin Xiaosheng pointed in another direction.

Only then did she see Wen Yuanzhi standing on the path among the purple flowers, looking at her quietly.

She dismounted, flustered, "What are you doing here...have you eaten any food...it might rain today...the flowers are blooming very well..."

Her words didn't match her words, so Wen Yuanzhi went to hold her hand, but she threw it away.

He still went to hold her hand and felt that her fingertips were cold. She was always full of energy and her hands were rarely this cold in winter.

He held hands with her and pulled her into the room.

She lost her temper for some reason, "I want to leave, and I want to leave immediately."

Wen Yuanzhi clearly didn't know what happened before, but he seemed to know it clearly and asked, "Where are you going to find him?"

She was stunned and shook her head helplessly for a moment.

"Since you don't know, where are you riding to?" He was not impatient at all, but slowly led her to regain her consciousness.

"Maybe he will return to Liangzhu, and I can go back to Liangzhu to look for him."

Wenyuan said, "You are right."

She asked, "Do you know he will return to Liangzhu?"

"I'm just saying it's possible, but I'm not entirely sure."

Gou Yue said, "I'm going to catch up with him now. I want to get it back before he goes far away without Zhenhun!"

He said, "Look along the waterway. The Jingui water system is well developed, so it is very likely that he will take the waterway."

Gou Yue calmed down and said, "I understand."

He stopped her again, "Do you know the nearest ferry to here?"

"Chunjiang?"

"Yes, it's Chunjiang." He nodded. She was much calmer than before.

She took the knife and left. Wen Yuanzhi knew that accompanying her would be a hindrance, so he said, "You have to promise me something."

Gou Yue nodded, "What's the matter?"

"Whether you can get it this time or not, you must come back before dark."

She agreed.

After opening the door, Wen Yuanzhi caught up and held her arm, "Gou Yue, do you still remember when you went to kill Gao Naiyuan?"

She didn't have the patience to listen to what he had to say. She was really afraid that Qinsuo would take Zhenhun to nowhere and lose the clues to Zhenhun. If she could never find it back in this life, she would never forgive herself for her incompetence.

He saw it and said, "Gao Naiyuan is a fisherman for the common people. You haven't killed him yet. If you catch up with King Hengyang, remember not to let the momentary anger cloud your mind."

Gou Yue didn't agree to him. He rode on horseback and whipped his whip, causing a puff of light smoke to rise in the courtyard.

Seeing the senior sister leave, Tai Yaoer ran to Wen Yuan and kept asking, "Don't you ask Lin Xiaofeng to follow the senior sister?"

He said no.

"What if something happens to Senior Sister outside?"

His eyes suddenly turned cold.

Yao'er slapped her mouth and said, "My fault. Hey, I mean, senior sister is not mentally stable right now, so you asked her to go out like this?"

He looked at her retreating back and said, "If she wants to go, let her go. She will come back in the evening."

Determined.

In the middle of the sun, Gouyue arrived at the Chunjiang Ferry.

There were many people on the ferry in the early morning, but by this time there were not many.

When she arrived, the boatman saw that she was alone and refused to ferry her.

"Did you see a Chu man with a mole under his eye and yellow eyes taking a boat here?"

"Of course I saw it, but a noble man dressed in luxurious clothes, accompanied by two maids and two bodyguards?"

The boatman looked at Gou Yue.

"Maybe so. He has two piercings on one ear and two silver rings with turquoise in them."

"Indeed."

"Do you know which direction he went?"

The boatman smiled, "Of course I saw it. Why, the girl wants to chase her?"

"Yes!"

He said, "There is no cheap business in the world."

Gou Yue dropped a 100-tael silver note, "Are these enough?"

He smiled sinisterly, "That's enough, that's enough."

Gou Yue got on his boat, "Can you catch up with him as soon as possible?"

The boatman said, "The fog on the river is heavy today, and it will rain in the afternoon. Otherwise, the girl can vaguely see the boat from such a distance. It is very impressive."

Halfway through the journey, the boatman said, "You still have to pay money for the rest of the journey."

Gou Yue knew that she had met a greedy person, but she was not in the mood to fight with him at this time, so she took out another banknote.

Unexpectedly, this time, the boatman said, "This is not enough."

"How much do you want?" Gou Yue smiled instead of getting angry.

"It was so easy for the girl to get out the 100 taels of silver, which shows that money is not worth mentioning to the girl. But the villain rowed back and forth on the river, the weather came and went, and he didn't eat or drink for seven or eight years before he could save the 100 taels of silver." As for the villain, I still want to marry a wife. Now girls are out of stock, and good-looking girls are even more in demand. Marrying one back will cost at least 80 to [-] taels. If the girl is willing to be my wife, I will do it today. No more money will be collected.”

"What if I don't want to?"

She showed the knife in her hand.

The boatman clearly saw the knife, but his expression remained unchanged, "If the girl doesn't want to, the price will be calculated separately."

"Stop talking nonsense, how much do you want?"

"How many girls are there?"

People's hearts are not as good as snakes swallowing elephants. "You want it all?"

He laughed a few words loudly, and his sinister smile echoed on the empty river surface.

"Girl, you won't give it?"

"I'll give it to you, but you have to be able to take it!"

She pulled out the drink. The boatman was agile on the water. He shook the boat and dived into the water from a corner.

Gou Yue looked at the water ripples in the circle below and smiled slightly.

After a while, the boat began to circle. The people below still didn't hear the sound of the girl above him falling into the water after turning around for a long time. Before she could make a splash, he raised his face and raised his eyes on the water, revealing a pair of bright black eyes. Eye.

This person's lower body is extremely stable. If an ordinary person met him, he would have been turned around and fell into the water. He relied on this ability to peel off the gold and silver from many people, but this girl was stunned. Not even a drop of water got on it.

She slowly squatted down and said, "Do you have any other tricks? If not, just give them to me!"

He said, "There are so many!"

After saying that, he sank down and poked upward with the sharp blade. The sharp bayonet passed through the ship's board. Gou Yue took half a step back, and a hole had been cut where he was standing.

He laughed on the surface of the water and said, "Thankfully you hid quickly. If you had been slower, you would have had an extra eye in your foot now. Hahahahaha, men have corns, and I call you women have eyes."

Gou Yue looked at the water slowly overflowing and gradually filling the cabin, and said, "You are such a big fountain pen. If you say you don't want this boat, why don't you want it?" He said, "The villain comes and goes in the water, and he is familiar with the nature of water. , but you are a girl, you are a person on the shore. In the river, I see the boat has sunk, how are you going to stay?"

Gou Yue Zhi Yinhen stepped forward and chopped him off. This person was a trainer in the water. He was like a fish swimming in the water. With a wave of his arm, which was a bit more agile than the fish tail, he immediately disappeared into the water and the figure was no longer visible.

Gou Yue knew that it would be useless to linger any longer. She saw reeds not far away. She suddenly swooped over the ship before it sank. She put her toes lightly on the board of the ship, jumped out a few steps, and rested on the reeds.

Borrowing the power of the reed, she tapped the water three times. The swallow stopped at a small Nagisa in the water like a swallow. She was lucky. She turned around and saw that she had jumped dozens of steps away. The small Nagisa was only as long as an arm, which was just right. Enough for one person to stay.

As she pondered what to do next, the fog lifted.

A large ship appeared in front of me.

Fortune and misfortune depend on each other, and it takes no effort to obtain them.

She had lost her place because of the boatman just now, but now she saw people drinking tea on the deck of the big ship right in front of her.

Two maids on the left were serving tea, and two accompanying guards stood on one side. Their hands never moved away from the knife for a moment, as if their hands and the knife had grown together.

The river was vast, so she raised her hand and threw Yinhen towards the ship, with the blade nailed into the wood.

When the maid heard the commotion, she was worried that someone from the Jianghu had caught up and hurriedly escorted Qinsuo back.

The guard stood up with his sword drawn and blocked the way into the cabin.

The second barrier is the two maids.

Gou Yue stepped on the water waves and rose up. He found his footing, stepped on the blade and flew to the deck.

Pulling off Yinhen, he stood on the deck and said, "Get out."

"Who are you?" the guard said, pointing the knife at Gou Yue.

Gou Yue faced him and lifted his knife into the river with a slight lift. She moved and the back of the knife hit the guard who had lost the knife, throwing him into the water.

The other guard was obviously observing Gou Yue's moves, and he didn't panic when he saw that Gou Yue had solved one of them.

The second guard's body skills were more vigorous, and he could even take three or four moves from Gou Yue without any fear on his face. He struck more decisively than the previous one. The two of them exchanged dozens of moves, only to hear the wind of the sword.

It's a pity that Jin Yuwei's first-class masters are just born at the wrong time compared to her.

He saw that although the swordsman was a woman, her internal strength was not strong enough, and her sword was lacking some sharpness, but there seemed to be a steady stream of energy within her that was supporting every move she made. He couldn't figure out where it came from, but He also lamented that he had never seen such an opponent in the palace. He was as agile as an eagle, and his cool moves seemed to have no rules, but they fell into place. The blades collided and were connected beautifully.

Just when he was still confused about her knife skills, she had already turned over behind him, and the back of the knife hit his shoulder hard, causing him to fall down like a dumpling in the water.

She only used the back of the knife and did not kill them.

Even if Wen Yuanzhi didn't say anything, she didn't want to kill more people. After so many years of killing, wasn't it enough?

She just wanted to take her home, bring her home cleanly, and make her not stained with a trace of blood.

The remaining two maids came out and saw that the deck was clean without even a drop of blood. They looked at the woman curiously.

Such a young woman could actually be as powerful as two Golden Feather Guard captains.

Jin Yu, the Twelve Guards, really embarrassed the Imperial Court of Chu.

The two wanted to fight again, but Qin Suo stopped them.

"My lord, she is here to assassinate you." One of the two women in white said.

"Let her in. If she wants to kill me, tell her to kill her."

The two had no choice but to give way.

I still abide by His Majesty's imperial edict and guard the prince on both sides.

Qin Suo said, "You go out and I'll have a few words with her alone."

Although the two were afraid of the woman, they still did not dare to disobey and walked out.

Gou Yue sneered, "You weren't surprised. You had expected me to come?"

Qinsuo said, "No, I thought you couldn't find me."

"Where did you put the soul?" She didn't want to talk in circles with him.

Qinsuo asked her to sit down and said, "You must be tired after chasing me all the way. Senior sister."

"No need to talk nonsense, you and I have nothing to say."

Qinsuo looked at her, and she didn't know when she turned into such a cold look, "Senior sister, have you ever thought about why the master asked you to seize the soul, and why people like Ya Potian and Qiu Long also want to ?”

Gou Yue didn't want to think deeply, "It has nothing to do with me. Whatever the master tells me to take, I will obey."

"Senior sister's martial arts has improved a lot."

"It all depends on the master's good teaching."

Qinsuo pointed at Yinhen and said, "This sword was also passed down by our master, did you know?"

She didn't want to mention the past with him. Since he thought she had forgotten it, so be it.

"This sword belongs to you. Master has no habit of passing down weapons from person to person."

He smiled, "I'm not talking about this master, but our former master, who was from Houyan."

"You don't have to talk nonsense. I don't have time to talk with you here."

Qin Suo asked, "Sister, don't you want to know the story behind Zhenhun?"

She didn't speak.

"If I told you that soul-suppressing does not calm the soul at all, but suppresses the wronged soul, would you believe it?"

Gou Yue couldn't stand listening anymore, "Give her back to me, I want to take her back to the ordinary hall."

He asked, "Why did the master bring Zhenhun back to the Ordinary Hall? Don't you want to know?"

"That's the master's own plan and has nothing to do with me."

Seeing that he refused to return Zhenhun, she had already aimed her hatred at him.

"Sister, are you going to kill me?"

"You think I dare not?"

"The reason?"

"You betrayed the master and should have died millions of times."

Qinsuo laughed at himself and said, "Master, I never think that Wufantang is a master. When I was young, I learned from the warriors on the grassland. When I was young, I learned swordsmanship from Zhao Bufan. Now I compete with others in the world. Speaking of martial arts, my master didn’t teach me much.”

"So you can stop the ordinary hall from seizing the soul?"

"I have never wanted to stop Senior Sister. But even if I give you the soul-soothing today, the master will give you another task tomorrow, one after another, until you run out of strength. Your life is hard-earned, and you shouldn't deserve it. Such an adventure.”

Gou Yue didn't appreciate it, "Since it's my own life, I have to make the decision myself."

He laughed loudly, "Are you in charge? Everyone is playing the game, but you are the chess piece after the players rotate. You were abandoned once a long time ago. Are you going to be used and discarded in the mountain of corpses now?"

She only said, "I don't want to hear anything more from you. Anyone who betrays our master should die."

"Am I going to die if I don't give you a soul? Then kill me and see if you can find a soul if you kill me!"

Gou Yue felt resentful. The Imperial Court of Chu once trampled her under their feet and humiliated her wantonly. Now, she just wanted to take her home, but they were blocking her.

Puchi-

He could only hear the knife cutting into his flesh and blood, piercing into his shoulder.

The warm blood fell on the ebony table drop by drop, and the bright red blood fell on the table, but it looked like a puddle of water.

"If killing me makes you feel better, then kill me." He looked at her, as if he was not looking at her, but in mourning for another person.

Gou Yue roared angrily, "I just want to calm the soul!"

He rushed forward, and the hatred stabbed deeper, piercing through his shoulder.

He was so close to her, so close that he could see the reflection in her eyes.

"Sister, are you feeling better now?"

She wanted to split him in half.

But she didn't pull out the knife, she loosened her grip and said, "This is your weapon, I'll give it back to you."

She stood up in frustration. Even if she killed him, it seemed that she wouldn't be able to get the soul.

Just when she was about to leave.

He hesitated for a long time before saying, "The real soul-killing place is in the Liangzhu Palace."
