The next day, it was just dawn, the wind had stopped and the snow had stopped.

Lanyue Cliff looks like an unruly wolf, standing upright in the howling cold wind. Snow and mist are lingering, looming, revealing many secrets.

Queen Mother Tang woke up early from the cold and happened to see Liu Tingxi's servants coming in from the cave, carrying a lot of vines in their hands. She asked in surprise: "What... are you doing with these vines?"

Liu Qing said in embarrassment: "The Queen Mother, my servant's Qinggong... makes you laugh."

"Oh? Do you want to rely on these... to climb the cliff? Or do you want to study herbs?"

Empress Dowager Tang joked, completely unaware of the embarrassment of Liu Tingxi's master and servant...

"You brat, I ask you to practice diligently on weekdays... you!"

Liu Tingxi hated that iron could not become steel, and stared at Liu Qing with cold eyes.

"Yes, I understand. I am stupid... I don't dare to be lazy anymore!"

Empress Dowager Tang watched the play silently, with a slight hint of disgust on her lips...

Liu Qing lowered his head in embarrassment, sweat dripping from his temples. He bit his lower lip and held his cheek with his right hand, not knowing what he was thinking.

Liu Tingxi dug her eyes out and said through gritted teeth: "You bastard, come here!"

Seeing Liu Tingxi, Queen Mother Tang was about to get angry. She took a breath and said slowly: "Actually, Liu Huwei's martial arts is not too bad. Just strengthen it slowly! Some skills cannot be achieved overnight. As the saying goes, desire is good.

Haste makes waste!"

"However, Liu Huwei, you are still young. In time, under the supervision of your prince, you will become a great talent!"

"Well... I have a book here for you to give to you. Do you have confidence in Chi Lian?"

"Uh... ah, book?"

Liu Tingxi was stunned. He looked at the book neatly wrapped in gold foil in the hand of Queen Mother Tang... Wasn't this what he gave to her when he was in Qingyun City in the southern border? The treasured secret book... This secret book is coveted by warriors all over the world.

, she actually... gave it to Liu Qing so casually?

"Is she... testing me?"

Liu Tingxi took the book with a complicated look in her eyes, feeling a little confused, and said implicitly: "You brat, practice hard and don't let down the grace of the empress!"

"Yes! My slave... thank you, the Queen Mother, for your grace!"

"Slave, you must practice hard!"

Liu Qing was extremely happy. Although he didn't know how precious this book was, he was not stupid. He jumped up and down with excitement and hurriedly opened the pages to take a closer look.

Suddenly, he heard the sound of fast horse hooves... Liu Qing was curious. He felt that the person coming was still far away from here. He lay on the ground and listened for a while out of habit before confirming: "Ms. Qi, Your Majesty, ahead.

Someone is flying over."

Queen Mother Tang nodded, "Why can't I hear you?"

When she looked at Liu Qing again, there was more appreciation in her eyes. Empress Dowager Tang, who cherished her talents like a child, looked at Liu Tingxi and praised with a smile: "My lord, this guard Liu is a piece of jade, you have found a treasure!"

Liu Tingxi glanced at Liu Qing, with an imperceptible smile on her lips: "Miao Zan, this kid has no extraordinary skills!"

Liu Qing scratched his head and chuckled: "Slave... this little trick made the Queen Mother laugh!"

Liu Tingxi pursed her lips, said nothing, raised her hand and knocked on Liu Qing's forehead, "Hey, Your Majesty, I'm a slave."

After the three of them finished speaking, they continued to move forward to a broad hinterland. It was quiet all around, and Liu Qing concentrated... "My queen, my lord, be careful!"

As soon as he finished speaking, under the snow, swordsmen in black jumped out one after another, and the deep and deep ventriloquism sounded again: "Kill Liu Tingxi and capture Tang Xinyu alive!"

Liu Tingxi signaled Liu Qing to protect Empress Dowager Tang, and he rushed to the crowd in black and started killing. Empress Dowager Tang did not show any weakness and jumped towards her. Liu Qing cursed: "You bunch of x species, you have the ability to be upright."

In a battle, what’s the point of sneak attack?”

The three of them fell into the enemy's encirclement at the same time, and the sound of clanging swords stopped. Liu Tingxi swept to a high place, his eyes wary of his surroundings... On the periphery, a group of archers were secretly surrounding them.

"No, we are outnumbered and we can't let Tangyuan fall into danger!" Liu Tingxi secretly used her internal strength to quickly fall back to Empress Dowager Tang and ordered Liu Qing to protect her and evacuate. Upon hearing this, Empress Dowager Tang raised her eyebrows and said, "No.

, I will advance and retreat with you today!"

"The Queen Mother, my servant is here!"

Ahead, a white horse flew over, and the man on the horse's red cloak fluttered in the wind, like a blooming red lotus.

"Ah, what a heroic female general!"

Liu Qing shouted excitedly. When he took a closer look, he was dumbfounded. This girl... was actually the owner of the black dragon colt!

"Ha... Mu Qingluan, my good sister!"

Empress Dowager Tang pierced the enemy's chest with her sword and pulled away to face Mu Qingluan, who was flying towards him.

There was a hint of embarrassment in Liu Qing's eyes, and Dian Dian stepped forward to flatter her: "Miss Mu,...it's lucky that you came!"

"Kill it, it's just a girl, what's there to be afraid of?"

The leading man in black, brandishing a big sword, shouted and rushed towards them,

"court death!"

Mu Qingluan took a step to avoid the enemy's knife, turned around, and the black whip in his hand moved like a fierce dragon, crack... slap... the enemy's head was bruised and bleeding, and he swung the whip again and disarmed the two archers.

.

On the other side, Liu Tingxi was still besieged by dozens of men in black... Empress Dowager Tang shouted sweetly: "Luan'er, follow me and kill!"

The three of them rushed into the enemy's formation and were about to wipe out the enemy, but the enemy retreated while fighting and fled in a swarm.

…

Liu Tingxi was hit by an arrow in the thigh. Empress Dowager Tang was applying medicine to stop the bleeding. Mu Qingluan frowned and said angrily: "Where did these villains come from?... Why did I run away before I had enough fun?"

Are you injured? Prince Liu, are you injured?"

Liu Tingxi listened to Mu Qingluan's words and laughed dumbly, "Miss Mu, I am fine, but we have to leave quickly!"

Empress Dowager Tang raised her head and said, "Luan'er, thank you for coming, otherwise..."

Liu Qing scratched her head: "Miss Mu's whip... makes the enemy timid!"

"Who are you?……"

"My dear, Liu Qing, many years ago... I met a girl in Majiapu, and..."

When Mu Qingluan heard this, her little face tensed up and turned petrified for a moment: "You said... you are the horse thief?"

"No, I gave you money..."

"Tch! Damn thief...you still dare to ask for money?"

Mu Qingluan's eyes darkened and she waved her long whip at Liu Qing.

Liu Qing refused to dodge and said apologetically: "Miss Mu... the Queen Mother clearly knows that this slave is not a horse thief!"

"Everything happened for a reason. I hope Miss Mu can forgive me! It's not... what you think..."

"What's going on, Luan'er, stop!"

Mu Qingluan's little face tightened, and she stared at Liu Qing with side eyes and said: "My dear, please don't worry... He stole Qingluan's Oolong, it's so abominable! Today, I will skin him alive!"

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, I didn't steal..."

Liu Tingxi stared at Liu Qing with her eyes, pondered for a moment, and lightly opened her lips and said: "Miss Mu, maybe it's my fault, let me ask...?"

Mu Qingluan's almond-shaped eyes widened, she pointed at Liu Qing and said angrily: "The prince is so protective of his shortcomings, who is he to you?"

"Don't be upset Luan'er, why don't you listen to what he says first?"

Empress Dowager Tang snatched Mu Qingluan's leather whip... turned around and pretended to be displeased: "Prince Liu, what happened to your guard?"

Liu Tingxi nodded, turned around, picked up Liu Qing and threw her about ten feet away, and scolded sternly: "Say!"

Liu Qing scratched her cheeks and ears, speaking incoherently... and told the whole incident.

It turned out that three years ago, Liu Tingxi received a secret message: someone he was investigating frequently appeared in the Humen Gang in Yuncheng, South China. So Liu Tingxi immediately went there secretly with a few followers. This investigation turned out to be unexpected.

Gaining Li Daotong’s behind-the-scenes...

So, in order not to alert others, Liu Tingxi sneaked alone for more than a month, and when he was about to get the truth, unexpectedly, the suspect disappeared overnight and set a trap. Liu Tingxi was seriously injured, escaped death, and settled in Majiapu.

Inn.

Then, a group of fierce enemies searched everywhere, and when they were about to find Liu Tingxi, it was Li Qing, the waiter at the inn, who secretly helped him hide in the cellar, and then escaped from all kinds of dangers.

However, at that time, Li Qing was just a stupid boy who was fearless. Although he had no martial arts skills, he had brute strength and integrity. When he saw the handsome man lying in a pool of blood, Li Qing did not hesitate to help him.

.

A few days later, in the cellar of the inn, Li Qing fed Liu Tingxi decoction and sighed: "Master, so many people are chasing you, and you are so injured... They still don't let go, how much hatred must there be?"

ah?"

Two days later, Li Qing looked at Liu Tingxi who was still sleeping on the couch. Although this person's face was pale, his facial features were very noble and handsome. He couldn't help but sigh: "Such a handsome young master must be a good person!

I, Mr. Li, am trying my best to save you, wake up, wake up, they haven’t evacuated yet, if..."

"Good... man, do you just... trust me?"

A gentle and jade-like voice slowly sounded, and Li Qing trembled: "Master, you finally woke up!"
