Konoha Aogen

Chapter 24: Long Sword "Honghu"

As Ye Xuan expected, when the camel team passed through "Cangcheng", they received a gift from the "Cangcheng Chamber of Commerce" and did not see the Wu brothers. "It would be great if all the 'locust plagues' were so peaceful." Ye Xuan felt quite fond of Wu Fu and Wu Lu, whom he had never met before.

The news that "Kurong City Lord" had killed "Hang Gang Leader" had already spread north and south along with "Xin Crow". After the camel caravan crossed the Tianhe River, it headed northwest in a mighty manner. There was almost no looting along the way, and even thieves who risked their lives to rush into battle became rare. This was somewhat beyond Ye Xuan's expectations. For those little thieves who risk their lives just to grab a camel, it doesn't actually make much difference whether there is an extra "locust" in the array.

Lu Jin believes that an important reason is that many reckless people respect "Kurong City" and believe that Ye Xuan killed Hu Kang to gain face for the "Northerners", so they are unwilling to steal his gold anymore. Ye Xuan hated this explanation very much. He was extremely reluctant to become the flag of the Northerners.

The distinction between north and south seems reasonable to him, but it is also extremely ridiculous. If he had to choose a side, today, he would choose "Southerners" without hesitation. It's not because there are women like "Qiu Shimai and Yu Meier" in the south that make his heart yearn for him, but just because now, he probably has enough money. It's almost time to start making preparations for what he wants to do.

From the south bank of the Tianhe River to "Cangcheng", there is still a lot of business and marriage with the Southland, and the exchanges are quite close. The deeper into the northwest, the more gifts the camel team received, and the reasons for the gifts became more and more ridiculous. At first, they only congratulated him on the achievements of his trip, but later someone actually congratulated him directly for "entering the hinterland of the southerners and killing everyone, dismembering Hu Kang, and making a triumphant return with bloodshed." I praised Ye Xuan for being in a difficult situation, but he didn't scold him or accept it.

After passing "Cangcheng", there was no strong opponent on the road ahead. After many urgings from Lu Jin, Ye Xuan finally sent Mu Qing'er, Can Ying, and Gu Yan back to the rear of the team, but still did not agree to send the six. People are falling apart.

The three of them rode their horses slowly towards the end of the team. On the way, "Lone Goose" was stopped by a soldier commander. He seemed to have some embarrassment and trivial matters, and he begged and complained to her. Seeing this, Guyan didn't know how long it would take to finish the story, so he motioned to Mu Qing'er and Remnant to go ahead.

After more than a moment, Guyan had finished talking to the soldier commander and was about to gallop after Mu Qing'er. Suddenly, a gray shadow shot out from the sparse trees on the roadside, quickly jumped up on a camel, and with a wave of his hand, threw off the soldier on the camel.

The small forest beside the road was more than ten feet away from the camel team. The gray shadow arrived in the blink of an eye. The soldier on the camel was so startled that someone rushed into the formation, and he fell to the ground, but he didn't know how he fell.

The man got on the first camel and took all seven camels away without cutting the rope. The seven camels in his hands seemed to have the same heart, and they ran wildly under the pull of the "first camel". When galloping, the pace is measured and not hindered by ropes. This kind of camel control technique has never been seen before, even by the "Soldiers of Kurong City" who have been used to seeing "camel traders" since childhood.

When the six "cavalrymen" nearby saw this, they hurriedly chased after him, patting their horses. The man in gray clothes didn't even look back. He swung his right hand back, and three "slender steel awls" pierced the thin armor attached to the horse's head and face, and went straight into the horse's head. The three horsemen fell dead immediately. The other three riders felt timid when they saw their teammates suddenly fell off their horses. The horse's pace slowed down, and the "steel cone" came again, but it still only killed the horse and did not hurt anyone.

The soldier fell off his horse and rolled over. Just when he was feeling the world spinning, he saw a white shadow flashing in the distance.

The place where the incident happened was about 40 to 50 feet away from "Lone Goose". When she saw someone snatching the camel, she immediately abandoned her horse and flew away. Later, she saw that the other person had killed the horse with a cone. She was so skillful that she did not dare to jump up and down again after landing, and just stayed close to her body. The short grass swept under his feet, and in a moment he had caught up to the "tailed camel" seven or eight steps behind.

The man in gray clothes was shocked to realize that there was something strange behind him. He no longer raised his back, lightly pressed the hump with his left palm, jumped up slightly, suddenly twisted his waist back, and the two "steel cones" in his right hand burst out, stabbing Lone Goose. shoulders.

Seeing this, Gu Yan did not dodge or dodge. He stopped running quickly, and the long sword "Honghu" was unsheathed. A "blade wind" carried the force of a mountain and a tsunami and passed diagonally between the two cones. , the string of camels connected by ropes in front of him, from the hip to the neck, from the neck to the buttocks, five camels in a row were diagonally divided into two pieces in an instant, and the blood in the stomach and intestines poured out like a waterfall, and the "blade wind" approached the sixth The camel was exhausted and scattered.

The sixth camel had a two-foot-deep blood gash cut out of its buttocks, its short tail fell to the ground, and it was crawling and wailing. The two "steel cones" were swayed by the "blade wind" tail light, and the cone heads were slightly tilted to the left and right. They narrowly missed Lone Goose's shoulders and cut off a few strands of chaos that were scattered in the air due to the "sudden start and emergency stop". hair.

Among the "Six Styles of Konoha", Guyan majored in "Smoke Blade". After switching to the "long knife", all the misty intentions disappeared, leaving only the sadness of killing. The power of this killing just now has actually touched the "Locust Realm", but after all, she is not a "Locust", but a "Han" with amazing talent and beauty. Under the furious slashing, he was unable to sustain his strength. The "long sword" was immediately sealed in front of him and he adjusted his breathing on the spot.

Seeing this majestic and ferocious slash, the man in gray actually calmed down and waved his left palm lightly, cutting off

He tied the rope to the back of the camel, clamped his legs on the camel's belly, and ran away. "It is unwise to exchange lives, and don't chase after poor people." The hoarse voice of the man in gray obviously concealed the original sound, and it pierced everyone's cochlea in the wilderness.

Guyan's breath was evened out in a moment. No one can spit out all the inner energy in one slash. She just slashed too hard, and her energy and blood stagnated in an instant, making it impossible to continue. The danger is that if the "man in gray" takes advantage of her moment to adjust her breath to attack suddenly, the long sword may not be able to block it.

Guyan knew this clearly, but still struck out with the sword decisively. Once she saw the other party killing his horse without hurting anyone, she knew that this person was not willing to form a blood feud. Secondly, for decades, she had always had the thought of breaking up in her heart. At this time, there was no strong opponent in the road ahead. Guyan no longer worried about the safety of Mu Qing'er and Remnant, and acted even more recklessly.

While he was adjusting his breath, the camel had already run far away. But it was just a camel after all. Even if it was a naked camel that was not carrying gold or betraying anyone, as long as it was visible to the naked eye and audible, Lone Goose could easily catch up with it no matter how far away it was. But she didn't move, she decided to let go of the man in gray who had just let her go.

With a slight wave of the long knife, he killed the gasping camel. The soldiers took out six spare camels, took out the gold bricks from the saddle bags scattered on the ground, and put them on the new camels. The five camels were pierced by the "blade wind" and split into two pieces. Several saddlebags were crushed under the camels. The soldiers who worked together to drag away the "camel pieces" were covered in crimson and fell to the ground retching.

Exile Diary - Excerpt (30)

Today, Lin Jue took me to the tavern to drink again. It was the same tavern where I drank for the first time. The guards were still guarding the door and Anese was waiting beside me.

When I was slightly drunk, Lin Jue took the initiative to mention the matter of "zhen qi". I hung on to the topic and asked for a lot of information along this line, some of which were quite shocking. But I have adapted to the consternation brought to me by the "Loess Continent".

The information obtained today is as follows.

1: Not everyone can possess true energy. Most ordinary people cannot develop any true energy no matter how hard they work. Lin Jue is such an ordinary person.

Two: People who have developed true energy may become extremely powerful, but this also depends on luck. Most people with Qi are at about the same level as the "performers" they saw that day. Hundreds of years ago, a strong man named "An Xiu" single-handedly assassinated the emperor of the empire. And it was not an assassination. He forced his way into the imperial palace. God, if I could assassinate the emperor of Wolfgangga, assassinate the high priest...

Three: Lin Jue's grandmother is a rare strong person in this world, but she is far from the strongest. I asked Lin Jue how powerful my grandmother was, and he said with great pride: "For ordinary people like us, even a thousand people with knives can't beat her, and even ten thousand people can't surround her." I'm worthless. My friend, if you can't beat a woman, what's there to be happy about? Now I understand why there are so few guards in Lin Mansion. It turns out that the army "grew" on her alone.

Four: Practicing Qi can actually extend your life! Lin Jue's grandmother is four hundred and eighty years old. And ordinary people in the "Loess Continent", like the people of "Wolfgangga", usually start to age around three hundred years old. However, Lin Jue told me worriedly that my grandmother should not be far away from the "aging stage". Lin Jue is just an ordinary person. What will he do when his grandmother dies? I didn't dare ask.

Five: People who have developed true energy cannot have children! This is true for both men and women. This is troublesome. Lin Jue's grandmother was Lin Jue's father, who started practicing Qi later. I have read a forbidden book that was ordered to be confiscated and burned by the Holy See of Wolfgangga. There is a sentence in the book that says, "All power is a curse." It is so appropriate to apply to this world. Fortunately, this "curse" still leaves a gap. I have to have a baby as soon as possible! When we were talking about this, I casually asked Lin Jue if he had any children, and he said no. I still didn't dare to ask if there was anything about my wife.

Supplementary task list.

One: Have a baby as soon as possible. Marrying Lin Jue is the most convenient choice, but it must be done while the grandmother is still young. If it were any later, my daughter and I might not be adequately protected. If Lin Jue already has a wife, I can be his mistress. I'm sure Lin Jue likes me, but he seems to be very patient.

Two: Learn how to practice "Qi" as soon as possible, and practice it as soon as you give birth to your child! Will my grandmother teach me? After giving me the gem, I never saw her again.

Exile Diary - Excerpt (31)

Today, Lin Jue began to carefully ask about me, why I drifted here, and whether I have any family members. After asking, without waiting for me to speak, he quickly added: I have never dared to ask because I was afraid of touching my sad things. If I don’t want to say it, don’t force it. Lin Jue is such a good person.

But I was prepared for these problems. I told Lin Jue that I was indeed from the Western Region, grew up in a kingdom smaller than Yanbo City, and was a princess there. I deliberately concealed the name "Kingdom of Kunst". Although Lin Jue seemed to know very little about the Western Regions, I didn't know how much my grandmother or others knew about it.

(This chapter is not over, please turn the page)

.

I also told Lin Jue that later my uncle killed my father in order to usurp the throne, and Wei Ze and I fled to the sea by boat. At this point, I started crying, half for real and half for drama. When I lied, I had an image in my mind of my father's fat belly being pierced by my uncle and cousin with long swords. In the end, I really burst into tears and couldn't stop even if I wanted to.

When Lin Jue saw my appearance, he was so frightened that he desperately apologized to me and vowed never to mention this matter again. This is exactly the result I want most: exposure of privacy, no details, just click on it. From now on, Lin Jue will think that he knows my history, and this test has been passed.

The lie was made up a long time ago. I don't want to mention the Holy See and the Divine Guards, and I don't want Lin Jue to know that my escape will put my father's life in danger. There is something called "filial piety" in the "Loess Continent", which basically means that people should respect, obey and protect their elders like slaves. Therefore, my escape was extremely unfilial. In the words of this world, it was called "treason and immorality." Lin Jue must not be allowed to know that I have done such a thing.

"Kunst" never only defends but does not attack. After I burst into tears, I wiped my tears and sobbed and asked Lin Jue: "Now you know everything about me, but I don't know you at all. I know such a good person." For a long time, you haven’t told me about your affairs.”

Captured in one blow! Lin Jueyi told me all about his situation. Lin Jue is the only grandson of the Lin family. He has no parents, uncles, aunts, or sisters. I once had an older brother who was also killed along with his parents.

He had no wife but five concubines. I asked him what a concubine was, and he never taught me the word. Lin Jue hesitated and explained for a long time, and I roughly understood the meaning of the concubine as the lover.

Lin Jue told me that he was fascinated by me the first time he saw me and wanted to take me in as his sixth concubine. However, the day I drank with him, he had the idea of ​​​​taking a wife for the first time in his life. Later, I gave him gems, and he made up his mind to let me be his wife, and he would never wrong me.

But his grandmother did not agree with him marrying a woman from the Western Regions of unknown origin. During this period of time, he had been arguing with his grandmother and even had a quarrel, but her grandmother never nodded. He seemed to have no confidence when talking about the quarrel. I guess he was bragging. He must be afraid of his grandmother.

He also told me that my grandmother's name was "Ouyang Tong" and she was a world-famous master. She had a high status in this world and was highly respected by other strong people. But my grandmother is too old, and it is estimated that she will enter the "aging period" in a short time.

The next city lord of "Yanbo City" has already been selected, and a consensus has been reached with several nearby forces. The transfer should be peaceful and there will be no more bloodshed. Lin Juehui will continue to live in the current mansion after his grandmother's death, but by then, he will no longer be a member of the city lord's family. Therefore, he was also a little unsure of my attitude, fearing that I would think that an ordinary wealthy idler was not worthy of me. He just found out that I was a princess and he was not happy at all.

I gently held Lin Jue's hand, looked into his eyes and said to him: "The down-and-out princess wants to be with a rich and idle man. I am willing to be your sixth concubine." Lin Jue cried. He gritted his teeth and swore that even if he threatened his life, he would make his grandmother agree to marry me.

I tightened my grip on Lin Jue's hand and begged arrogantly: "No, I want to be your concubine! I have no land, no army, no treasure. In your world, I can't use anything to prove my love." You. Let me give you the dignity of a princess." After saying this, I was moved to tears.

Lin Jue hugged me so tightly that I almost suffocated. Then he kissed me, ignoring Aniese's gaze.

I would like to be Lin Jue's concubine. This is absolutely true. The real reason is that I am afraid of facing "Ouyang Tong"'s cross-examination. Although I have only met her once, I am convinced that this woman must be difficult to deal with. If Lin Jue seeks death in front of "Ouyang Tong" in order to marry me, who knows how far she will investigate me.

In order to learn "Zhen Qi", sooner or later I have to face "Ouyang Tong" directly, but now is definitely not the right time! I want to have a child with Lin Jue first. After having a child, "Ouyang Tong" and I will have common interests. I believe that by then, she will be willing to teach me the method of practicing "Qi". After all, she cannot She had no time to protect her great-grandson herself.

I don’t have much time, so I hope the men in this world won’t be as useless as those in “Wolfgangga” who can’t sow a single seed for decades.

Before leaving the tavern, I warned Lin Jue again: "I meant what I just said. If you insist on marrying me, I won't marry you!"

Lin Jue gritted his teeth and said boldly: "Okay, then I will take you as my concubine. But I also swear to you that I will never marry a wife in this life! I will respect you as much as I respect my wife for the rest of my life."

If I can't develop my true energy in the future... living a small life with this good-for-nothing man might be an option.
