The first-level Zhaohua Thousand-level Hall

Chapter 176
"Miss, do you want to take a break for a while? I saw a family in front of me. You can go and stay overnight."

It was a guard named Ma Wu who spoke, Ding Dong and most of the guards did not follow, Xu Qingluo asked them to stay in the capital to protect Langmu, after all there must be spies from the Mobei people in the capital.

Xu Qingluo left in a hurry, and left Beijing directly with only two guards with him.

Riding horses along the way, staring at night, the three of them looked like they were in the dust.

And Ma Wuhui's proposal was also because Xu Qingluo hadn't dismounted for six full hours. For a delicate woman, he knew a thing or two about the pain of not dismounting for six hours.

Xu Qingluo felt the burning pain on both sides of his thighs, and even the slightest movement felt the pain so badly, the horse under him was also constantly panting and wheezing.

Xu Qingluo gritted her teeth: "No, how many days is the nearest road to the border?"

"Miss, if you travel at the current speed, it will only take up to three days, but you really need to take a break. Even if you are fine, the horse can't stand it."

Another guard also opened his mouth, looking at Xu Qingluo's eyes full of admiration, he never thought that a woman with such courage and persistence could do this for the man she loves.

Xu Qingluo shook the reins, causing the horse under him to neigh softly, with deep exhaustion.

"How long is it until we arrive at the post station? Let's go to the post station to rest for a while, and then change horses."

Xu Qingluo stretched out a hand and gently stroked the horse's mane. There was a tingling pain in his palm, and there was a hint of red on the horse's mane, but Xu Qingluo's palm was holding the rein all the time, and it was also rubbed. broken.

"There should be a post station in front, and the subordinates there will recognize it. It would be better to prepare a few more horses."

Xu Qingluo insisted, and what she said was reasonable, the other two did not insist anymore.

The post station is indeed not far away, just riding a fast horse, and arrived in less than an hour. The moment they saw the post station, no matter who they were, they breathed a sigh of relief.

Xu Qingluo asked the emperor to leave the capital. If she hadn't told the emperor that she would go to the border to bring him the materials needed for an overseas miracle medicine, the emperor would not have agreed to her leaving the capital.

If it weren't for worrying that Lang's mother was still in the capital, and Xu's family was still in the capital, Xu Qingluo wouldn't waste time looking for the emperor at all, but with the emperor's letter, any request to a place like the post station would be happily accepted. satisfy.

Xu Qingluo left enough gold and silver, and she had the emperor's letter in her hand, so that she was able to take all the horses in the station away.

Before leaving, Ma Wu turned his head: "Why isn't Lao Tie here?"

The middle-aged man who was sending Xu Qingluo and others outside the inn paused, raised his head and smiled: "Old Tie has something to do at home, so he is not here. The villain is a relative of his family, and he is also helping at this inn. You can tell the villain as many orders as you can."

Xu Qingluo looked at the person in the inn who was smiling very honestly, feeling a little puzzled in his heart.

In the end, I was in a rush, so I didn't think too much about it. If the people in the post station really had problems, they had plenty of time in the post station just now, so Xu Qingluo greeted the two guards, and the three quickly left the post station.

On the way, Ma Wu suddenly said: "It's strange, Lao Tie has no father, no mother, no wife and children, he is just an old man, where did the family matter come from?"

Xu Qingluo turned her head sharply, and the next moment, the horse under her let out a long cry, and her legs and feet went limp. If Xu Qingluo hadn't rolled and jumped off the horse and supported her body with one hand, she might have been thrown hard. one time.

The horse's forelegs sank deeply into a pothole, which was previously covered by floating soil and branches. The sky was dim, and it was impossible to see clearly unless it was close to it.

Xu Qingluo heard the sound of metal and iron clanging behind him.

He rolled over and quickly hid in the grass next to him.

More than a dozen men in black surrounded the two guards, recruiting killers. One of them noticed Xu Qingluo and walked towards her.

Xu Qingluo narrowed his eyes slightly, and pressed his left wrist with one hand, and the other party approached step by step, getting closer, getting closer.

The eyes of the two people met, and a pile of silver needles rushed towards the eyes of the man in black.

The other party's reaction was not slow, and the short knife in his hand quickly set up a light curtain in front of him, the sound of ding ding continued, and the pile of silver needles was knocked down without a single one left, and the place where Xu Qingluo rolled down was a sunken place , similar to the downwind, while the opponent was standing in the upwind, her ecstasy could not respond to the enemy, there was a hint of a ferocious smile in the opponent's eyes, the short knife shook, and swung at Xu Qingluo's head.

"Miss!"

"Miss, hide!"

When the two guards saw that Xu Qingluo was in danger, they became anxious for a moment, and their movements were chaotic, and one of them slammed. Fortunately, both of them were also masters and avoided the fatal wound.

But at this moment, the body of the man in front of Xu Qingluo swayed slightly.

The dagger in his hand fell to the ground with a jingle, and the man followed suit.

"Muru!"

A man in black couldn't help being surprised when he saw the screams: "Tu Yuan, you guys go kill her! Hold your breath, she is proficient in drugs."

Regardless of the two imperial guards, the three killers quickly left the battle group and rushed towards Xu Qingluo.

Xu Qingluo sneered, thinking that all he had to do was hold his breath when facing her?Facing the short knives of the three killers, he raised his hand and threw a bottle to the ground ahead. The bottle shattered, and the liquid inside splashed out. It was extremely corrosive venom, and with just one splash, a black-clothed man's arm began to corrode at an extremely fast speed, revealing the white bones.

"It's tarsus poison! It's the poison of His Highness the Second Highness!"

The man in black, whose arm was corroded by the venom, cut off his own arm with a knife, and the other two couldn't help but retreat amidst the splashing blood, because Xu Qingluo took out several bottles from his sleeve.

"Damn it, how could she have tarsal bone poison!"

The leading man in black also showed deep fear in his eyes, apparently to them, they knew the name and power of this poison very well.

Taking advantage of the moment when several people in black were in a trance, each of the two guards killed a person with a sword, turned over and jumped in front of Xu Qingluo, and spread their swords to protect her left and right.

Xu Qingluo and the dozen or so men in black formed a confrontation.

The atmosphere was extremely solemn and solemn for a while, only the light of the knife reflected in his eyes.

Suddenly, a low female laughter came out, and Xu Qingluo held the corner of her lips: "Are you from Mobei, or the eldest prince?"

"I didn't expect that the eldest prince paid so much attention to me as a little girl, and sent someone to follow me out of the capital, but the eldest prince didn't tell you that I am not only proficient in drugs, but also in poisons? It seems that you These people are nothing more than that in the hearts of His Royal Highness, sending you here to die, try my methods, after you die, His Royal Highness will send other people to take over your tasks."

Xu Qingluo casually turned the bottle in his hand, and the dozen or so men in black on the opposite side couldn't help taking a step back, for fear that she would shake the bottle and break the bottle. .

Xu Qingluo's words made several people couldn't help being suspicious. Since the eldest prince knew that Xu Qingluo knew how to use drugs, why didn't he say that she was more proficient in poisons, especially tarsal bone poisoning?
Feeling the low morale of his own people here, the leader in black couldn't help but retort: ​​"Tarsus poison is the top poison, and even the Second Highness doesn't have much in his hands. This woman is lying to us. She may only have Then a bottle, let's serve it together, a woman, can't handle it?"

Xu Qingluo sneered, interrupted the leader's words, and walked out from behind the two guards, ignoring their objecting and worried expressions, and walked forward step by step with the bottle in hand.

She was getting closer and closer to the dozen or so men in black, a woman holding a top-level poison, even if it was suspected, it was scary.

Someone's footsteps couldn't help but backed up.

Xu Qingluo raised the things in his hand: "Believe it or not, I can throw these things out at any time. If anyone accidentally splashes them, how bad is he?"

While speaking, Xu Qingluo loosened his five fingers, and quickly threw several bottles at the man in black, and retreated one after another. No one noticed that Xu Qingluo was standing at the top, even if it was only a little bit upwind. , is also sufficient.

The bottle shattered, and the drug bag that Xu Qingluo had been keeping in the other hand also spilled out.

"Come on!"

Without looking at the situation behind him, Xu Qingluo rushed towards the horse closest to him, turned over and jumped on the horse's back, greeted the two guards, and as soon as the whip fell, the horse raised its hooves and rushed out.

There were more than a dozen men in black standing or lying on the ground.

"Damn witch!"

The black-clothed leader was the most vigilant, holding his breath all the time. He looked at the sand splashed by the horse's hoof and gritted his teeth angrily.

He had never seen such a cunning and terrifying woman. Except for the tarsus poison in the first bottle, the other bottles were full of smoke.

In addition to the drug powder thrown by Xu Qingluo, even if he held his breath, because the woman was too close, his body is still weak now, and his eyes are black.

Thinking of his dozens of masters chasing all the way here, losing manpower, but letting Xu Qingluo go, the leader felt a burst of shame, and he didn't know how to explain to his master when he went back.

"Boss, what should I do?"

The subordinates couldn't help asking, just like the leader, they were worried that it would be difficult to explain when they went back.

"How? Keep chasing. If you don't want to be tortured by the master like those people in front, you have to catch up anyway, kill her or bring her to the master. Also, the tarsus in her hand Poison must be related to the Second Highness, it is his unique poison, we must report this matter to the master, let him be careful of the Second Highness."

Everyone knew what the leader said was justified. Even though they were a little embarrassed by Xu Qingluo, the few who could stand up still clenched their knives and staggered towards the horses next to them.

The next moment, a gust of wind blew past, and several pieces of golden light split into several directions and disappeared. At the same time, several people walking towards the horse had a gold leaf stuck in their necks. Amidst the bang, several people fell down One piece, all turned into corpses, and the only one alive was the most vigilant leader with the highest martial arts.

The young man in white wore a fur coat that seemed a bit heavy in this weather, and walked over slowly, watching to avoid it in time, but he did not die directly, but half of his throat was cut, and the neck was stained with blood. The leader had a look of fear, disbelief and questioning in his eyes, and he smiled, his smile was very gentle and beautiful: "Aguda, your master and I have some cooperation, but Luo'er, I am not willing to let her die, what qualifications do you have to kill her?" Her? You should be glad you didn't hurt her, otherwise, I wouldn't let those people die so easily."

He was obviously smiling, but Gong Ziyan's eyes were cold and terrifying.

The sound of "hehe" continued to come from half of Aguda's throat. He pointed at Young Master Yan, his eyes full of rage and accusations, and finally he tilted his head and lost his breath.

"Master, if you really care about Miss Xu so much, why don't you show up?"

Chitose, who was going to make up for the few people who were stunned by the drug, walked up to Gong Ziyan with a cloak in his hand, and hesitantly persuaded the man while putting on the cloak.

"Show up for what?"

Gong Ziyan coughed twice, and a flush appeared on his pale face: "I don't have many days left."

"Young master, don't talk nonsense, you are so powerful, you will definitely be able to find a way to save yourself, you will surely live a long life, and it is Miss Xu's blessing to get your attention, if you don't talk about it, I will say it!"

Chitose opened his mouth with red eyes, and the next moment, he closed his mouth, because Gongzi Yan's hand on his shoulder still had a cold face: "Chitose, this is something I have already decided."

Chitose opened his mouth to speak, but he didn't dare to refute anything.

Gong Ziyan smiled again: "Besides, I want to have a good fight with Luo'er in my limited life, rather than talking about love with her, which is unrealistic and impossible. She is a good opponent." , Border Gate specially prepared such a good show for her, if she can't make it all the way to the border smoothly, the good show I prepared will not be in vain, and I will be very sorry."

Gong Ziyan knew very well that Xu Qingluo couldn't fall in love with him, and he didn't feel that he loved Xu Qingluo. He just liked to see Xu Qingluo being embarrassed by him, and liked to see how she solved problems again and again. Showing her sharpness, I like to see her always live so hard, strive so hard for what she wants, want to see her fail, and want her to remember herself forever.

The only one who can make Xu Qingluo admit defeat and despair is his son Yan.

Chitose tilted his head and looked at the strange look in Gong Ziyan's eyes, feeling an inexplicable chill in his heart.

Maybe he really thought too much, his son was interested in Xu Qingluo, but he was not interested in the kind of men and women in the world, it was bad luck for Xu Qingluo to provoke his son.

-

"Miss, how did you fall for the first person just now? You were obviously standing at a disadvantage, and I saw that the rest of the people seemed to have been drugged. Why didn't we kill them there, instead of killing them?" escape?"

It wasn't until he rushed a long distance that Ma Wu finally couldn't help asking.

Xu Qingluo reined in the reins, looked at the empty place behind him, and let out a long breath. The few people now slightly deviated from the original direction. The Mobei people controlled a few post stations on the road at most. Throughout Daqing, their strength is still very weak, at least where Xu Qingluo and they don't go through the station, the killers of the Mobei people can't accurately grasp their whereabouts.

Now it is considered to be out of danger. Hearing Ma Wu's question, Xu Qingluo answered him: "If ordinary people smell the fragrance on my body, they will be fine. Speaking of which, it has some motivating effect.”

Ma Wu opened his mouth wide, thinking that what Xu Qingluo said was like a fairy tale: "This is also possible? Can it be used on the battlefield? In that case, the Mobei people will be fascinated like that person, just like that person." Don't be afraid of them any more."

He looked at Xu Qingluo as if he was looking at a god-man. He knew that this Miss Xu family knew medicine, but he didn't expect to know so much and so well.

"Everything in the world has its own unique characteristics. As long as you work hard, you can always find a special target. However, after I met these killers, I had quietly crushed a volatile drug. That drug is quite rare. Only a few were found in the palace, and the man was allowed to come so close, otherwise it would be useless."

Xu Qingluo felt uncomfortable with Ma Wu's eyes, sighed and explained clearly to him.

If the pills I made at random could be specifically aimed at the Mobei people, I would have produced a large number of them for Lang Sheng to use on the battlefield, but this kind of medicine has too many restrictions, and eating beef and mutton for a long time will make your anger dry It's not just Mobei people.

Too many coincidences.

"As for why we have to leave quickly, not all of the dozen or so people have been drugged by me, and if they are, it won't be too serious as long as they hold their breath. If we leave late, I may not be able to scare them again. "

"Miss, in fact, you can get to the border by yourself."

Another guard said with admiration.

I have never seen such a powerful woman, and even the women in the border town are the most aggressive. Even if Xu Qingluo has the courage to face life and death with swords, she may not have the calm, meticulous and clever methods.

"I can't reach the border by myself. At least I have a thousand ways to ask someone to help me block the frontal attack. If it weren't for the two of you, I would really be dead. It's just that in the next journey we may There will be more dangers, and there is no need for you two to take such a big risk for me."

Xu Qingluo was interrupted before he finished speaking.

"Miss, what did you say? Originally, it was our responsibility to protect you. What's more, we are not just for you, miss. We are also for the general, and for the people of the border. Except for General Lang, there is no one in the border capital who can stop the Western Regions." You are so powerful. Miss, you will definitely be able to find General Lang. A character like General Lang, Lao Qin and I don’t believe that he just disappeared. He must be waiting for you somewhere to save him! "

Ma Wu's eyes were full of seriousness.

Xu Qingluo couldn't help but chuckled: "Then I'll have to thank you for the rest of the journey."

-

Three days later, Xu Qingluo, Ma Wu, and Qin Yong finally arrived at the border. The moment they saw the dilapidated tower standing in the yellow sand, the three of them breathed a sigh of relief.

Along the way, the three of them lived, ate and slept in the open, riding fast and picking up the path. Although they encountered several dangers, they were all safe and sound. It was better than anything else to be able to reach the border smoothly.

The three got off their horses, and the city gate was closed tightly. A soldier on the tower found them. The long arrows shone brightly in the sun, and a soldier with bloodstains on his face leaned forward: "Who is it!"

The voice was full of sternness.

Xu Qingluo didn't make a sound, Qin Yong beside him reached out and took out the emperor's handbook.

"I am a person from the capital, and I have come to the border gate to search for medicine by His Majesty's order. This is His Majesty's order. Please open the city gate."

This was negotiated. When Lang Sheng disappeared, the only people who could provide clues were the people around him, but he was also injured and disappeared because of the betrayal of the people around him. Xu Qingluo temporarily concealed his identity and tried to find Lang Sheng or Feitian, one of Changying and the others, was able to know more definite information and was able to determine the direction to look for.

"Miss Xu."

Feitian looked at the woman who took off the hood, looked at the woman's face full of wind and frost, and showed a look of shock on her face: "Miss Xu, why are you here? This is a battlefield, and there will be a war at any time. I will immediately Arrange for someone to take you back to the capital, it's not safe here."

I haven't seen him for a while, Feitian looks haggard, his eyes are all black and blue, his arm is still bandaged, and there is blood oozing out. It is obvious that the border is not peaceful during this time, and Feitian is not doing well.

"It's not safe here, do you think it's safe on the road? I'm Ah Cheng's fiancée, if I don't come here, where should I go?"

Facing Feitian's act of sending him away, Xu Qingluo turned cold: "I'm here to find Ah Cheng, or you can provide the specific information of his missing place and the places he frequented most at the border. In short, the more detailed the better, you can help me find it together, or I can find it myself."

Xu Qingluo became stubborn, and even Langcheng was helpless, not to mention Feitian, who had already regarded Xu Qingluo as the general's wife in the future. After knowing that Xu Qingluo was protecting Lang Sheng in the capital.

"Won't I help you?"

Feitian smiled wryly: "Xiaowei and Changying have also been looking for the general. You have also seen the situation here. The coalition forces of the five countries in the Western Regions come to harass them from time to time. Our army dare not go out to find the general. We can only Several close people took the general's guards to look for him, but they have been searching for ten days, and there is still no news. To be honest, I am worried about the general."

"Ah Cheng will not die."

Xu Qingluo interrupted Feitian's words, she paused every word, her face was full of stubbornness: "He promised to marry me, even if King Yama wants to accept him, I will also pull him from King Yama Come back, without my permission, he cannot die!"
