Chapter 77

"Tell me, where did you get this jade bracelet from?" Su Hailing held the jade bracelet and looked at Yang Jue coldly.

Yang Jue sneered and turned his head away from her.

Her martial arts were sealed by Yang Wan, and the dungeon was built underground, she could never escape by herself, but she didn't want to answer any questions either.

It's just... Su Hailing didn't ask about King An's plan, but asked about the jade bracelet in a serious way. Could it be that there...is there really some mystery in this bracelet?
"Don't tell me?" Su Hailing sneered, "This jade bracelet is a gift from the emperor. It is forbidden for you to wear it on your body. Even King An can't protect you!"

"Imperial gifts?" Yang Jue was startled when he heard that, with a surprised expression on his face.

Su Hailing carefully observed her expression, and found that she really did not seem to be fake, and secretly pondered in his heart.

Could it be that Yang Jue didn't know the origin of this jade bracelet?Then she is a woman, and she is not the kind of dandy who sleeps in flowers and sleeps in willows, so why does she carry around men's accessories?
"A woman dragged me to bring this bracelet to His Highness King An." Yang Jue finally opened his mouth, obviously aware of the seriousness of the matter.

It is a crime to punish the Jiu Clan for privately bringing forbidden items bestowed by the imperial court!

Thinking of the woman who gave her the jade bracelet, she couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat. Who was the one being plotted against?
Su Yuling, Su Hailing, or herself?
"Woman? You don't recognize her?" Su Hailing said.

"I don't know." Yang Jue shook his head and said, "She claims to be the prince's old friend, but it's just a jade bracelet. I agreed without thinking too much."

"Do you remember her description of her attire?" Su Hailing thought for a while.

Yang Jue also knew that he had fallen into other people's schemes, so he wanted to use Su Hailing's hand to find out the truth, and he didn't hide it right now, and narrated the incident in detail.

"Hailing..." Mei Junhan frowned, "It sounds like..."

"Wu Nian Sword School." Su Hailing said.

"Will there be fraud?" Yang Wan stared at Yang Jue coldly.

"Believe it or not." Yang Jue sneered and closed his eyes.

"Let's go." Su Hailing sighed and walked out first.

"Do you believe it?" Mei Junhan asked.

"She doesn't need to lie about such things, let alone..." Su Hailing said, looking at the jade bracelet in his hand, "If she wants to frame the Wunian Sword Sect, she just needs to say Murong Zi's name directly, and there is no need to go around so much." Big circle."

"No, what I mean is, will someone fake the attire of the Wunian Sword Sect?" Mei Junhan asked.

"What's the motive? What's the benefit?" Su Hailing asked rhetorically.

"That's true." Mei Junhan said.

"I think it's Murong Zi who is reminding me not to forget to go to the Wunian Sword Sect." Su Hailing put the jade bracelet into his arms and said with a sneer, "She knew that I would definitely go against King An, so she sent it to me in advance. to this thing."

"Should we still follow the original plan and leave after the Lantern Festival?" Mei Junhan asked after a moment of silence.

Su Hailing hesitated for a moment, and looked in the direction of Mu Qingchen's small courtyard.

"If the owner is concerned, it is better to leave earlier." Yang Wan said calmly behind, "Mr. Mu is not a worldly man, let alone he is not showing his body at this time, the owner might as well go and return early."

"That's true." Su Hailing nodded, gritted his teeth, and made up his mind, "Jun Han and I will leave tomorrow, and Director Yang should keep an eye on the Lan family."

"Don't worry, the owner, it's easy for the subordinates." Yang Wan replied.

Mei Junhan smiled, turned and left.

Su Hailing shrugged, knowing that he didn't want to disturb him to say goodbye to Mu Qingchen, and he didn't mind, so he went back to the small courtyard.

"What's wrong?" Mu Qingchen was finishing his medicine.

"I'm leaving tomorrow." Su Hailing casually picked up a piece of rock sugar and stuffed it into his mouth, explaining the meaning directly.

Mu Qingchen's body stiffened for a moment, and after a while he said: "It's up to you."

"I'll be back as soon as possible." Su Hailing hugged him, rubbing his head on his shoulder.

It has been more than three years, and they have never been separated for a day. It is really reluctant to leave him for a long trip, but there are some things that have to be done, and her Su Hailing's life is not only love.

After spending a whole day with each other, the evening is naturally full of spring scenery, but Su Hailing didn't dare to ask for too much because Mu Qingchen was pregnant after all, as long as he had one, that's all.

In the early morning, two fast horses left the city gate one after the other and headed south.

"I said, can you stop the boss from putting on a dead face? It's so ugly!" Mei Junhan clamped his horse's belly and caught up a few steps, "Isn't everything arranged properly?"

"Hmph!" Su Hailing flicked the whip in his hand, with a depressed expression on his face.

"You're angry, when you get to Wunian Mountain, go to Murong Zi." Mei Junhan curled her lips and said.

"Why, are you unwilling to accompany me this trip?" Su Hailing glanced at him as if.

"How dare!" Mei Junhan's voice seemed to come out from between his teeth.

Although he also wanted to lure the snake out of the hole and find out the traitor of Xuanming Palace, but this woman... actually ordered Yang Wan to spread the news of his going south... Do you think there are not enough people coming to hunt him down?

"Once and for all." Su Hailing reminded.

"I hope you won't die before leaving the teacher." Mei Jun snorted coldly.

"The two of us, even if we can't fight, can't we escape?" Su Hailing raised his eyebrows, and said proudly, "Wulin factions and government cannot cooperate closely with each other after all, and will hinder each other at critical moments. But you, Have you made arrangements? Don’t let us work hard in vain.”

"Don't worry about this, I have already asked Xuan Yu to send a letter to a few confidantes, this time I must catch all those things that are eaten inside and out!" Mei Jun said coldly.

"I hope so." Su Hailing sighed, thinking of Mu Qingchen who stayed in Haiyue Villa again.

Even though he knew that Mu Xin and Yang Wan would take good care of him, he still couldn't help being concerned.

Could it be that this is what it feels like to fall in love with someone?
Just separated, began to miss.

However, when did it start?Or maybe, just the first glance condensed the entanglement of this life?

Lovesickness, deep lovesickness!
"Take care of yourself first!" Mei Junhan suddenly became inexplicably irritable when she saw the gentle expression on her face, and kicked her hard on the ass.

"Wow! Mei Junhan! You're murdering! Help~" The horse was frightened, and ran forward desperately. Su Hailing was in a hurry, lying on the horse's back in extreme danger, and kept yelling.

Mei Junhan pouted, raised the reins of the horse, and followed unhurriedly.

If she would be thrown to death by a horse with her current lightness kung fu, that would be absurd, that Mu Qingchen who was his master would definitely die of anger.

However, suddenly, Su Hailing's voice stopped suddenly, followed by a loud neighing.

"Hailing!" Mei Junhan was slightly startled. Although she didn't think that anything would happen with Su Hailing's skill, she couldn't help speeding up.

Turning a corner, I saw that the frightened horse had calmed down. Su Hailing was standing on the ground. Opposite was a burly woman with a rough face, holding the rein with one hand. It was obvious that she held the galloping horse with her bare hands.Under the shade of a tree not far away, there is also a horse grazing leisurely.

"Miss, are you okay?" The woman let go of her hand and looked at Su Hailing with concern.

"Who are you? Mind your own business!" Su Hailing looked at him impatiently.

Originally, she was just playing around with Mei Junhan, but when Mu Mu, who was resting on the side of the road, saw this situation, he rushed forward to save her self-righteously, and lost her good mood.

"You..." The woman was so choked by her that she couldn't say anything.

"Hailing, she is also kind, let's go!" Mei Junhan whispered.

"Hmph!" Su Hailing's body floated gracefully onto the horse's back like a wisp of light smoke, and gave the woman a condescending look, "Woman, next time, be more careful with your tricks, don't make trouble for nothing!"

Mei Junhan glanced at her in surprise, but said nothing.

"Sorry." The anger on the woman's face flashed, but she didn't break out, she just obediently stepped aside to the side of the road.As soon as she saw Su Hailing's light hand when he got on the horse, she knew that he was just playing around with his companions, and there was no danger at all. Instead, she disturbed their interest for no reason.

It's just... Are all the people in Dayong so defiant?
After walking a certain distance, Su Hailing's face gradually darkened: "Why did people from West Qin come here?"

Mei Junhan was not surprised, nodded, and continued: "When she pulled the galloping horse, her sleeves were raised, and I saw an eagle tattoo on her arm."

"Eagle is very honorable in Western Qin Dynasty. Those who can stab an eagle on their body are probably not ordinary people." Su Hailing pondered.

"That's right." Mei Junhan agreed, "And just because of her skill in holding a frightened horse with one hand, I'm afraid it won't be much worse than mine."

"The most important thing is that this person is obviously not a good-tempered person. I provoke her like this, but she can hold her breath." Su Hailing said.

"Do you want to care?" Mei Junhan turned his head, "His Royal Highness Princess Ruiqing of Dayong?"

"Not interested." Su Hailing snorted softly, "If Xiqin really wanted to make any noise, even Su Yuling and Su Jinling would not allow them to mess around in Dayong."

"Then hurry up!" Mei Junhan said.

Su Hailing's expression became solemn, and he let go of the thoughts in his heart for the time being.

Wunian Mountain is located in the lower reaches of the Xiangjiang River, within the territory of Southern Chu.When I arrived at the ferry, I saw that the pier was crowded with waiting people. After asking, I found out that the weather this winter was so cold that even the Xiangjiang River was frozen, making it impossible to sail for a while.

In desperation, they had no choice but to return to a nearby town and find an inn for lodging.

Perhaps because of the closure of the Xiangjiang River, several inns in the small town were already full. Su Hailing had no choice but to spend a lot of money to hire a caravan to give up a room.

"I can only do this first." After finally settling down, Su Hailing apologized.

"The sons and daughters of the rivers and lakes, how can they be so particular." Mei Junhan smiled nonchalantly, looked at the fairly spacious bed and said, "Anyway, it can still sleep two people."

"No, I'll just sleep on the floor." Su Hailing said hastily with a jump in his heart.

"Don't talk nonsense, where do you get so many bedding?" Mei Junhan waited for her, "If you catch a cold or something again, I'm not the one who's in trouble?"

"But..." Su Hailing looked at the set of bedding on the bed in embarrassment.

Although she shared the bed with Mu Qingchen at that time, Mei Junhan was different from him...

"A man and a widow live in the same room, even if I still have Qingyu, you have destroyed it long ago!" Mei Junhan kept going outside the door angrily, "Otherwise you'll sleep in the corridor!"

Su Hailing could only smile wryly.

That's right, even if she slept on the floor, how would outsiders know about it? They couldn't explain it everywhere.Anyway, Mei Junhan doesn't mind anymore, what kind of gentleman is she pretending to be?
The condition of the shop was poor, and naturally they couldn't take a shower, so the two of them wiped their faces with hot water and went to bed.

Lying flat on his back, Su Hailing only felt his whole body was stiff and had no sleepiness.

"You...it seems like I'm the one who suffers more, but you look like you've been bullied." Mei Junhan's voice was thickly nasal, and after a while, her breathing became even.

Su Hailing looked at the people around him dumbfounded.

Thanks to him being able to sleep so peacefully, isn't he really not afraid that he will suddenly get wild in the middle of the night and do something to him?
The starlight gradually faded, and the moon sank to the horizon.In the still air, only the breathing of the two people can hear each other.

It didn't take long for Su Hailing to feel a slightly cool body sticking to him from behind. At the same time, a wisp of thin breath spit out gently on the back of his neck. It was numb and itchy, but not annoying...

The tense body gradually relaxed for a moment, Su Hailing took a deep breath and let himself fall asleep.

When the first ray of sunlight illuminated the room in the morning, Su Hailing opened his eyes, habitually wanted to get up and change clothes, but suddenly found that he couldn't move at all, because his body was tightly entangled by an unknown object.

"Jun Han, wake up." Su Hailing helplessly called the sleeping person beside him, and reached out to pat his face lightly.

"...don't make noise..." Mei Junhan muttered, and pushed her hand away unconsciously.

Su Hailing looked at the person who was sleeping soundly in his arms with a wry smile, and sighed, knowing that he couldn't call him anymore.It's no wonder that he has driven so many days to come to Haiyue Mountain Villa, but after staying for a day and then set out again, he must be very tired!

Forget it, anyway, the air route is not immediately available, so let him sleep well.

The sleeping Mei Junhan didn't have the aloofness and inhumanity when she was awake, she looked much softer and surprisingly handsome.Su Hailing looked at the face close at hand, and quietly recalled the past three years since he came to this world.The scenes of getting along with him flooded my heart, and finally turned into the warm bonfire in the Qingnian Mountains.

"Dong dong dong..." There was a sudden knock on the door.

"Who?" An idiot could hear Su Hailing's displeasure.

"Guest officer, bring water!"

"Come in." Su Hailing said helplessly.

As soon as the door opened, the second young lady came in with a basin of water, and a towel was hung on the side of the basin.

"Just put it on the table." Su Hailing instructed coldly through the gauze curtain.

"Yes." The young lady followed her instructions and walked towards the table, and put down the basin steadily.

And almost at the same time, the three flying knives flew straight into the bed tent at an extremely tricky angle.

"Bitch, go to hell!" the second young lady said, she also pulled out a dagger, and rushed towards her.

"嗤——" The white bed curtain fell, and the water-like sword light slanted up, like a dream and fantasy, like the shining Milky Way on the Qixi Festival, so gorgeous that people can't open their eyes.

The flying knife and the dagger fell to the ground at the same time, a long sword as thin as paper, like autumn water, was placed on the young lady's neck, and the other end of the sword was held in a slender and slender hand.

"Jun Han, when did you wake up?" Su Hailing frowned, looking at the man who was obviously still lying down but holding a sword.

"Just when you started to stare at me lustfully." Mei Junhan cast a provocative look over.

"You..." A look of embarrassment quickly flashed across Su Hailing's face, and he said angrily, "Why don't you wake up?"

"I'm happy." Mei Junhan's answer was as usual that could make people vomit blood.

Idiot woman, if I wake up, will you still look at me like this...

Seeing that they were only talking about themselves, the second young lady's hand slowly touched her waist...

"If you want to die, it's best not to move around." Mei Junhan's sword seemed to have eyes, and when he raised it, a stream of blood immediately flowed down the tip of the sword.

"Who sent you here?" Su Hailing shook his head, planning to solve the immediate trouble first.

"You take your time to guess!" The second young lady smiled ferociously, "Bitch Mei, your death is not far away!"

"Shut up!" Su Hailing couldn't help but angrily scolded her when she opened her mouth and shut her mouth.

"Not good." Mei Junhan jumped up, his left hand was like lightning, and immediately removed the lower jawbone of the youngest sister, but it was still a step too late, the seven orifices were bleeding, and she died.

"Cut!" Mei Junhan withdrew the sword bitterly, "One step too late, what a vicious method!"

Su Hailing looked heavy, got out of bed and turned over the corpse, inspected it carefully, and quickly took out a token from the pocket of the corpse.

"Phantom Gate!" Mei Junhan blurted out.

"It's an old friend here." Su Hailing smiled coldly, stood up, turned around and nodded to him, suddenly raised his hand, and smashed the window of the guest room with his palm.

The person outside the window let out a low cry and hurried away.However, when he turned around, he saw Mei Junhan leaning against the tree with only his coat on, his eyes were full of chill.

Turning back suddenly, Su Hailing had already jumped out of the broken window, looking at her coldly.

"Why, do you want to know who sent me?" The masked woman seemed to know that she could not escape from the siege of the two masters, but she calmed down.

"All ears." Mei Jun Hanling said indifferently.

He probably didn't expect someone to answer like that, but that person was stunned.

"Speak quickly if you have something to say, and let go of fart!" Su Hailing said impatiently.

"Phantom Gate." The man answered very simply.

"Huh?" Both of them didn't expect to get an answer. Just in that moment of stunned, the woman raised her hand, and a black ball popped out. When it landed, it immediately sprayed out white smoke.

"Be careful, it's poisonous!" Su Hailing only drank once, and the smoke had engulfed the three of them together.

Almost instantly, the line of sight was completely blocked.

Su Hailing held his breath, and quickly moved towards the direction of Mei Junhan in his impression.

"Bah!"

"what!"

Hearing the sound from the thick fog, Su Hailing didn't dare to speak, only listening to the sound, feeling a little anxious.

Suddenly, a powerful hand grasped his wrist.The opponent couldn't be seen clearly in the smoke, and Su Hailing almost struck him with his palm, relying on the martial artist's intuitive reaction.However, the faint fragrance of plum blossoms made her endure it, and let the hand pull her to move forward quickly.

Soon, there was a burst of clarity in front of my eyes, and the smoke had come out.

"Jun Han, you can let go now." Su Hailing's voice was a little uncomfortable.

Mei Junhan immediately let go, and there was still a tinge of redness on the base of her ears.

"What about that person?" Su Hailing asked.

"I tapped the acupoints, so I can't run away." Mei Junhan said.

"Your eyes?" Su Hailing looked at him curiously.

"I was born able to see in the dark, not to mention the smog that captivates my sight." Mei Junhan explained.

The early morning wind quickly blew away the white smoke in the courtyard. However, strangely, after the smoke cleared, there was no third person in the courtyard except the two of them.

"Strange, where is the person? I obviously..." Mei Junhan stepped back to the spot.

Su Hailing frowned. She never doubted Mei Junhan's methods. However, it is also true that the person whose acupuncture points disappeared out of thin air.Was it the woman who broke away from Mei Junhan's acupressure technique in such a short time and left calmly, or did someone sneak in under the smoke and take her away?However, both possibilities seem unlikely.

Mei Junhan immediately turned into the house through the window, and sure enough, the corpses on the ground also disappeared.

"Jun Han?" Su Hailing followed in, seeing this situation, he didn't need to ask any more.Both of them were a little depressed, and they were tricked under their noses.

"Interesting!" Mei Jun said to herself with a cold smile.

"What do you think, is it really the Phantom Gate?" Su Hailing said.

"That miraculous way of escaping is indeed the method of the Phantom Gate, and it will not be a blame game." Mei Junhan said, "But, just like the last time, the Phantom Gate is just a killer who takes money to do things. Combination, the characters behind him are the key."

"It seems that our journey will not be peaceful." Su Hailing was silent for a while.
