After two rounds of rotation, the sun finally set to the west again in Xiao Xingyun’s expectation. It was swallowed up by the mountains bit by bit, as if it would never rise again.

Night is coming.

Foggy and rainy, looking at flowers while drunk, the thousands of lights raised by the city that never sleeps, turned into a hazy pool in the rain, like water dripping on rice paper, and a smear of gamboge bloomed in the water.Xiao Xingyun lay on the window sill and looked at the Pingchun Pavilion not far away. It was very lively, but the noise was separated by smoke and water. When it reached Jingqiuyuan, it had blended with the sound of rain leaves, and there was no difference.

Tick-tock, and there was a solitude.

Looking at Chu Xingyun, the Pingchun Pavilion is not an attic, but a whole area of ​​green tiles, vermilion tiles, carved beams and painted buildings, the lights are like gold leaf, and the Changyang falls on the world.But the brightest place tonight is not the main pavilion of the Pengchun Pavilion, but the hanging garden to the north of it, a hanging garden, a waterfall and Qiongtai, built in the sky.Hearing from Hongjiao, tonight, Prince Anping is going to have a banquet on the highest balcony in Xuanyuan, and the golden armored guards in the Pingchun Pavilion are not allowed to follow. They are all guarded by the prince’s own guards. Naturally, the prince’s guards only care about the prince. Where is the young man going, who has the spare time to keep an eye on it.

Xiao Xingyun looked at it for a while, then retreated to the bed, it was still far away from the agreed time.He recalled what Hongjiao said at the time that the Terrace is not actually the tallest in Xuanyuan, but it is the most luxurious place to entertain guests in the whole city, so it is publicized like this.On the exposed balcony, there is another platform, which is the highest point of the city that never sleeps. The hot spring is used as a pool, and the pool is full of moonlight. It is said that it is the place where the leader of the Qinglong gang practices kung fu, and no one can find it.However, the hot spring water flows down from above, into the clear stream behind the verandah, and finally into the tributary of the Yuqing River. Jump into the water and swim downstream to Jingqiuyuan.

The weather is beautiful tonight, the autumn rain is not too big or too small, just the right amount of hazy, the night is worn away inch by inch, when the hour comes, the three monkeys who guard the courtyard hurriedly went to gamble, Chu Xingyun closed his eyes, Quietly, in the silent room, only his own heartbeat was beating, and he endured another quarter of an hour. He jumped up from the bed, leaped through the vertical window, landed on the tip of the tree silently like an eagle owl, and slid down like a monkey. , plunged into the stream, as fast as a ghost, silently.

The water in the stream was strong but not in a hurry, and when the rain fell on the water, small water flowers bloomed, which eliminated the sound of Chu Xingyun’s swimming and paddling.After a while, a high red wall stretched across the front, inside and outside the wall, there were a few armored guards standing by the waterway, drowsy in the face of the rainy night, with one head hanging around their necks, as sleepy as a chicken pecking at rice Like, click and lift.

Chu Xingyun floated out half an eye, took a look, his eyes were clear and calm, but his heart was hot and hot, beating fast in his chest, he floated out a little mouth and nose, took a breath, and then he was like a fish , dive down, dive down again…

The water is flowing, he flows along the water, as if turning into a drop of water, the night water is cold, it is difficult to cool the blood, the darkness is pressing from all directions, but Chu Xingyun feels that the whole body is endless, he holds this breath, forward, forward…

He has rehearsed it thousands of times in his mind, and when the moment comes, his heart feels as if it is going to jump out. However, his limbs don’t understand this tension and apprehension, they are still in order. Thousands of playthroughs.

The red wall is over.

One inch, one foot, one foot.

Everywhere, quiet, quiet, still quiet.

Inside and outside the wall, there were 48 guards and 96 eyeballs, none of them noticed anything strange in the dark water.

He escaped!

The success of the first step comes in silence.

Chu Xingyun swam quickly. This waterway will flow into the Negative White River under a dead tree. The place is extremely remote. He and Hongjiao made an appointment to meet there. Whoever comes first will wait for half an hour. When he arrived, he swam along the negative white river to the reed marsh by himself.

The night was deep and the rain was sparse, Xiao Xingyun felt uneasy, the red nails came from the balcony of Xuanyuan, so far away, could he escape?

Red Nail is not familiar with the Monkey Pen area, can he swim here?

Could something be wrong?

He had already swam under the dead tree at the intersection. He raised his head and looked at the shore, but there was no one there.

His heart sank all of a sudden, Chu Xingyun thought for a while, he couldn’t stay in the water all the time, he was about to go ashore and wait under the dead tree, and suddenly something scratched him:

“Where are your eyes looking!”

Xiao Xingyun turned his head and was overjoyed: “Red nails! You… you are so punctual! I thought I would definitely wait for you!”

Red Nail glanced at him disdainfully: “What are you talking about! You can escape, but I can’t? Swim quickly!”

The two plunged into the water again. During Chu Xingyun’s rehearsal, he needed to wear red nails, but to his surprise, the red nails were extremely water-resistant, swimming faster than himself like a whitebait.

The rain was a little lighter, and it was foggy again. Chu Xingyun yelled in his heart, God help me!

The rain and fog mixed together, flowing down the river, both Chu Xingyun and Hongjiao let go, and the Negative White River became wider and wider, and finally the water swayed and turned into a misty white——

Reeds.

Between the tens of thousands of reeds, a white-capped boat rolled out, and Lan Feng and Lanzhu sat on the bow, smiling at them.

In the night wind and light rain, the white fluffy reed flowers swayed one by one.

Chu Xingyun jumped onto the boat uncontrollably, Lan Zhu hugged him, patted his naked back and wept with joy, the strength was so great that Xiao Xingyun coughed twice, red nails jumped up lightly, and took out the A stack of gold and jade pieces was handed to Lan Feng.

Lan Feng Lanzhu had never seen it before, so he looked around, Xiao Xingyun pulled the red nails over:

“You! You have been swimming with this thing just now?”

The red nails looked a bit inexplicable: “What’s the matter? Didn’t you ask me to be a small treasury.”

Xiao Xingyun showed a bit of frustration, wearing gold and jade pieces on his red nails, he was even able to compete with him.

Now everyone is ready, Lan Feng and Lan Zhu cooperate with each other and sail quickly. They followed a silk ship sailing at night, and sailed to the depths of the reeds. There were many boatmen on the way, all asleep Lan Feng said softly:

“You have swam half of the negative white river, are you exhausted? There is something to eat in the canopy, you go in and have a rest. The reeds are messy and there is no oil and water. No one cares about it. I will drive through the red lock line later. , even if you are free, there is still a long way to go, so don’t make me sick!”

Chu Xingyun and Hongjiao shook their heads, helping to paddle, desperate to escape, wishing they could row thousands of miles away from the city that never sleeps.It was the first time for Chu Xingyun to see the appearance of red nails without makeup, short clothes and plain face, the charming femininity has faded, and it is beautiful and handsome.They paddled and watched, the sky was as blue as water, the tops of the reeds were soaked in rain, the nearby ones were white and clear, and the distant ones were as misty as smoke, and there was peace and stillness like pure jade everywhere, without loneliness or desolation.

Suddenly, a burst of fire shattered the piece of clear jade, a rocket fell from the sky, Lan Feng’s eyes were quick, and the bow of the boat twisted. Pieces began to burn to the reeds…

Many people woke up from their sleep and panicked. When the red nails turned their heads, a large boat came from the negative white river. into the reeds.

“Oops! It’s the Water Guards of the Azure Dragon Gang!”

Lan Feng was a little panicked: “What can alarm them!”

Lanzhu glanced at the red nails, and asked sharply, “Is that you!”

The red nails are white with a face that can’t speak. It must be the prince’s business that can disturb the Qinglong Gang right now, but at the banquet, he was inconspicuous, did not do anything out of line, and no one came to provoke him. Why…why it will be like this…

“Now is not the time to talk about this, Lan Feng, how far is it from the red lock line!” Chu Xingyun asked loudly.

“There it is!”

The silk ship in front is about to cross the line. After the red lock line, it will no longer be under the jurisdiction of the Qinglong Gang. If they stretch their hands too far, there will be people in the rivers and lakes who want to trouble them.

Thousands of arrows with fire were fired, and the Qinglong gang began to clear the field within the red lock line. The boat was on fire, and the water was flowing under the boat. A girl, she said “ah, ah, ah”…

“Dumb girl!” Xiao Xingyun was taken aback, why is the dumb girl here!She was injured and fell into the water at this time, ups and downs, and she was about to sink. Chu Xingyun’s brain became hot, and he had a heroic disease. He pulled back and said softly:

“I go.”

Red Nails took advantage of the trend, and her snow-white body swung in the water, and then she swam behind the mute girl. It was very dangerous to rescue the drowning person, they would struggle and entangle the comer, and finally sank together.Chu Xingyun is good at swimming by himself, but he doesn’t necessarily know how to save people. The red nails grew up by the real river. He controlled the dumb girl not to struggle, and brought her here slowly.

The clumps of reeds caught fire, slowly extinguished in the rain, and the arrows fell and ignited again. The boats of the Qinglong Gang drove into the reeds unscrupulously, and the water guards jumped into the water like water ghosts. Screams, shouts, the splash of falling into the water, and the crackling of burning boats, melted into one place, forging one section after another of death.

“Like hell…” Red Nail murmured.

“Why are you still in the water in a daze! Come up quickly!” Chu Xingyun took the dumb girl and stretched out his hand to pull the red nail. Just as the red nail stretched out his hand, his feet were entangled by water plants. Xiao Xingyun’s heart froze, But Hongjiao dived calmly, held her breath, untied the aquatic plants on her ankles, and jumped onto the boat.

He had just stepped on the edge of the boat when suddenly, a hand stretched out from the water and pulled him down abruptly——

The incident happened suddenly, even the dumb girl was brought down by this force, implicated Xiao Xingyun staggered, bumped into the wall of the ship, and Lan Feng at the bow of the ship was shocked and shouted:

“What’s going on! We’re about to cross the red chain!”

Lanzhu ran to look in a hurry, and saw Chu Xingyun holding the dumb girl, and the dumb girl pulling the red nails, and the red nails were tightly held in the water by something.

Hongjiao looked at Chu Xingyun and smiled softly:

“Let’s go, goodbye.”

He shook his hand and let go of the dumb girl’s hand. The water guard of the Qinglong Gang grabbed him tightly. The water guard tied him up, slapped him unconscious, threw him aside, and rushed up again. Staying at the stern, he stopped the boat abruptly.

The bow of the ship is only three steps away from the red chain.

Lan Feng exerted all his strength and strength, but he didn’t move at all. He shouted angrily:

“What happened in the back! It’s only three steps away! Three steps away!”

In all directions, densely packed water guards pressed the border, one by one small boats came, like swarming spiders, and the big boats with dragon heads also came, like a big iron wall, standing on the water.

There is no way to retreat, and all achievements fall short.

Lan Feng’s face turned purple, and he was still working hard on the bow: “Move it for me! Move it! It’s just a little bit… a little bit…”

Despair seized him in an instant, but Lan Feng shook his whole body. He didn’t give up yet. He threw down the boat pole and was about to escape directly into the water. The good-looking Lanzhu was swept into the water.

“Sister!” Lan Feng cried out in pain and was about to jump into the water, but Chu Xingyun grabbed him back: “Row your boat!”

Chu Xingyun yelled, and slammed into the water guard, his limbs tightly grasped the water guard’s head, blindfolded, the water guard raised his hard fist, and smashed down on Xiao Xingyun.

Xiao Xingyun held onto him tightly, even when he was beaten to the point of blood, he would never let go, Lan Zhu took advantage of the chaos to escape, and the water guards from all over were about to surround him!Lan Feng started the boat…

The bow passed the red chain…

With a jolt, the dumb girl who landed at the stern was shaken violently and fell into the water…

The hull passed the red chain…

Lanzhu rushed to the stern, shouting, Chu Xingyun’s face was covered with blood, he couldn’t hear clearly, his red eyes only saw a little dumb girl, falling helplessly in the water, struggling…

Like his sister.

Will Chu Yan encounter misfortune in a place he can’t see?

The stern passed the red chain…

Chu Xingyun didn’t know how many of his bones had been broken, and he didn’t seem to feel the pain anymore. He bit the water guard hard and threw himself into the water…

With one last stroke, he lifted the dumb girl out of the water, and with all his strength, he threw her into the stern…

Lanzhu caught it with tears in her eyes.

At the same time, Xiao Xingyun was severely pinched by Shuiwei and beaten, blood flowed down like an embankment and stuck to his eyelashes, the world was dyed red, Xiao Xingyun saw in this red:

Beyond the red chain, that small boat goes far, far away…

Shui Wei rushed up, and the whole chain was creaked by him, but there was nothing he could do.Shuiwei was furious, turned his head to face Xiao Xingyun, fists and raindrops fell, Xiao Xingyun smiled slightly with blood on the corner of his mouth, thinking:

It’s okay, someday, someday…

I will go to the end of the world, no one arrests me, no one stops me, I look up all over the world, thousands of rivers and mountains are waiting for me to break through.
