Chapter 0056 Willows and Flowers

The next morning, Li Zhen came to Wang Yuanbao's mansion. He wanted to find Wang Qingyu to see if she could use the power of the Wang family to help him find the woman in purple, but the family members in Wang Yuanbao's mansion told him that Wang Qingyu had already gone to Luoyang with his brother three days ago.

This news cut off Li Zhen's last glimmer of hope. He slowly walked to the Xiyue Restaurant, found a seat on the second floor, and asked for two pots of wine. He drank alone in a depressed mood.

Chang'an is so big, where will he find the man in purple? Besides, the man in purple may have already gone to Luoyang, what should he do now?

Do you really want to force him to kidnap Wu Shun's son? Li Zhen's murderous intent gradually arose and he drank the wine in his glass. At this moment, a young woman's voice came from beside him, "Master, is there anyone in the seat opposite you?"

Li Zhen glanced at the woman next to him. He was a very young lady, only fifteen or sixteen years old, not tall, wearing a light green long suit, and carrying a sword behind her back.

Li Zhen knew that the Tang Dynasty's rangers were famous in history, but there was no martial arts world, but those who traveled around the world with swords. For example, Li Bai's identity as a ranger was also a ranger, and there were also many female rangers. The little girl next to her probably was.

Li Zhen saw that there were many empty seats in the lobby, but she wanted to sit opposite her. At this time, Li Zhen was angry and didn't want to talk about any gentlemanly rituals. He was unhappy and slapped his wine glass hard, "I'm upset, you sit somewhere else!"

The little girl in green clothes stopped talking, turned around and walked, took a few steps but left a sentence, "It's just a broken copper box, is it?"

Li Zhen was stunned. He suddenly jumped up and looked around. He saw the little girl in green who was carrying a sword going downstairs, and glanced at him with a smile.

"Hey! Please wait!"

Li Zhen pulled his feet and chased after him. He was so anxious that he bumped into several people, but he didn't have time to apologize and ran downstairs.

"Customer, you haven't paid for your wine!"

The bartender was so anxious that he stamped his feet and shouted that if the drinker he called would not pay, his wages would be deducted.

At this time, a handful of copper coins flew towards him and was hitting him in the face. He hurriedly caught a few pieces, but was stunned for a moment. The young man actually smashed a handful of Sogdian gold coins for him, and he almost fainted from joy.

...........

The little girl in green was walking slowly in front of her on a rouge horse. Li Zhen also saw that she was deliberately seducing her. He felt a little alert in his heart and followed the little girl in green from afar.

Soon, they left the Golden Light Gate to the west, and the little girl in green was still riding her horse slowly in front of her. Li Zhen chased after her and grabbed the reins of the other party, "This girl, please stay!"

The little girl in green looked him up and down carefully and asked with a smile: "Do we know each other?"

"I think we should have dealt with each other!"

Li Zhen recognized from her back that this little girl was the man in purple that night. Only then did Li Zhen see her appearance clearly.

I saw her having a pretty melon-shaped face, with slender willow eyebrows, bright eyes like gems, her nose was extremely beautiful, her skin was white and greasy, and there was no trace of pink on her face.

‘What a beautiful little girl!’ Li Zhen praised secretly.

But now is not the time to admire the beauty, Li Zhen bowed sincerely to her, "Girl, it's about my brother's life. Please return the copper box to me!"

The young lady in green clothes sank her pretty face, "I don't know what you are talking about? Your brother's life has nothing to do with me, but isn't it too rude for you to hold my horse like this?"

Li Zhen knew that since she came to find him, things would inevitably turn around. He didn't dare to act strong, so he had to whisper: "Please help me, my girl!"

The little girl in green looked at him for a while and suddenly covered her mouth and smiled, "I am willing to help you, but you are too rude. You obviously have an empty seat on the opposite side, but you are not allowed to sit down, and you actually drove me away. How can you settle the account?"

Li Zhen clasped his fists and said, "I'll ask the girl to return to the restaurant and I'm willing to give the wine to apologize to the girl!"

"This attitude is almost the same, but I am not lucky enough to enter such a big restaurant. Let me do this! I will give you a few conditions. If you can agree, maybe I will return the things to you."

Li Zhen was overjoyed, "Please tell me, girl!"

The little girl in green clothes pointed to a forest in the distance, "There is a clearing in the woods, let's go there to talk."

After saying that, she turned her horse's head and ran towards the forest. Li Zhen hesitated for a moment. He knew that this little girl must be prepared and wanted to take herself to the forest when she left the city. But thinking that Xiaoxi's life was just tonight, he had to grit his teeth and urge the horse to follow her.

The little girl in green was waiting for him in the woods, but there was no one else in the woods. Li Zhen bowed and said, "Please tell me, girl!"

The little girl in green turned over and got off the horse, holding the sword in her hand, and her face was filled with a cold frost, "I was the one who took away the relic box that night. If you want to return to the relic, first you have to defeat me and draw out your sword!"

Li Zhen also turned over and dismounted and asked in confusion: "Don't the girl ask for a few conditions?"

"This is one of the conditions, you have to beat me!"

Li Zhen looked at the bow and arrow, but the little girl in green shouted loudly, "No bow is allowed, only swords!"

"Okay!" Li Zhen agreed, the long sword had been unsheathed, and a cold light stabbed at the green-clothed girl like lightning. He had only learned the sword from Pei Min for ten days, and his sword technique had been transformed. He was no longer the former Wu Xia Ameng.

The sword was fast and fierce, and there was no mercy. The little girl in green praised, "Here's just like a man!"

When the sword reached her eyes, she suddenly flashed and appeared on the side of Li Zhen like a ghost. The sword in her hand had stabbed Li Zhen's waist, faster and more ruthless.

Li Zhen was shocked. He never expected that the little girl's body and sword skills would be so clever, and at the same time it also aroused the strength in his heart. Li Zhen shouted, "Good come!"

He didn't dodge and swung his sword across the neck. This sword was a way of losing both sides, and he bet that Xiao Niang would not fight with him.

The little girl sneered, took two steps back, got rid of the sword force, and then the long sword flew like peach blossoms, stabbing towards Li Zhen overwhelmingly.

Li Zhen did not avoid it at all, and stabbed her throat with a sword, which was extremely fast. This was the sword intent that Pei Min taught him. The sword was a killing weapon. It must be fast, ruthless and accurate. Only by simplifying the complex and defeating the enemy with one sword can you kill the enemy and protect yourself.

Although the little girl in green clothes had a strong sword technique and was as good as a ghost, Li Zhen's sword wanted to kill her, which made her very passive. She had to shout, "Stop!"

Li Zhen held up his long sword and stood ten feet away, "Please give me advice!"

The little girl in green clothes said angrily: "Your swordsmanship is not as good as me, but I don't want to fight you. This is how you do it! If you show your skills again, I feel that you can't compare to you. I will talk to you again."

At this time, the little girl in green clothes finally fell on Li Zhen's bow and arrow. This was actually her purpose. She pointed with a sword, "You can use a bow and arrow!"

"Can a girl keep her word?"

"So what if I don't keep my word?"

Li Zhen was furious and had to turn over the horse and urge the horse to run. He ran for only a few dozen steps. He shouted, "Please take care of me, my sister!"

He held the shadow bow in his hand, pulled the arrow and put the strings, pulled the bow like a full moon, twisted his head and shot out like lightning, and a bird flew in the woods, and the arrow had already landed on the ground.

The little girl in green ran ninety steps away to find the arrow. She was stunned and saw two birds piercing the arrow, both of which were pierced by one, which made her breathe.

The Central Plains are not like the Western Regions. Most of the people who practice martial arts are addicted to swordsmanship and do not value cavalry and archery. Generally, they only practice in the army. Therefore, when Li Zhen used his cavalry and archery skills, the little girl in green had to convince her.

"Okay! You're so awesome, we can talk about it."

The little girl in green pointed to the big stone in the distance with her sword, "Your relics box is under the big stone!"

Li Zhen was overjoyed and turned around and ran towards Dashi. The little girl in green showed a smug smile on her face.

However, Li Zhen only ran for more than a dozen steps, but stopped. He picked up a stone the size of a watermelon and threw it hard, falling next to the big stone.

With a sound of "Crash!", a net bag hidden under the leaves rose into the air and hung in the air.

Li Zhen looked back at her, "This girl, can you explain it?"

The little girl in green was not ashamed and still smiled: "This is just a test of your wisdom, and I don't want to deal with a fool."

Li Zhen was a little amused and cried. He found that this little girl was not the cold-blooded killer of a certain organization as he thought before, and was quite like a lonely female ranger. Did she just happened to pass by that night?

‘Impossible!’ Li Zhen immediately denied his guess. This little girl must have received the news before she would ambush in advance. Like those Tocharan warriors, her behavior was really a bit puzzling.

"Okay! What else do you have?"

"It's meaningless to say it, isn't it?"

The little girl in green clothes turned her eyes and her eyes fell on Li Zhen's mount. She looked carefully and nodded and said, "If I read it right, your horse should be the famous Dayuan sweat-blooded BMW."

Li Zhen was surprised. In order to hide his BMW, he specially dyed it and his hair was cut in a mess. He looked like a big wild horse. No one could recognize it from the Western Regions to the Central Plains. This little girl had such eyesight.

"You're right. I put on makeup to avoid being peeped at by thieves."

The little girl in green stared at the BMW for a moment, "I heard from my master that this horse is the Western Regions horse Chi Yanxue, did you get it in Kucha?"

Li Zhen's BMW was given by Wang Xiaojie, but he didn't know its name, but Wang Xiaojie told him that the horse was indeed seized in Kucha.

"The girl said it's right, she got it from Kucha!"

"That's right. It should be the mount of Kucha King Chiyanxue. Kucha King once brought it to Chang'an, and my master has seen it."

At this time, the little girl in green walked back to the big stone and took out a package from under the big stone. She opened the package. It turned out to be a copper relic inside. Although it was just a shadow relic, it was related to Xiaoxi's life.

Li Zhen didn't expect that the copper box was really under the big stone. He patted his forehead and said helplessly: "Miss, please make the conditions!"
