Heartless

There were thick clouds outside, and there was no wind at all.This rainstorm is not coming for a long time, and the store and the store are very dull. This kind of dullness is not like seeing blood blocking your throat, but rather like a pair of invisible hands choking your neck. Breaking free is extremely unpleasant.

Several oil lamps were lit in the inn, and the flames flickered on and off, reflecting a face with a big scar.

"Open two jars of wine first." Calling the young man who was about to leave, Luo Wang said coldly and added, "If the wine cannot meet the fire, it will burn. Be careful that your head is not in the same place."

Putting the two altars of burning knives on the table, Xiao Er secretly glanced and moved his eyes to look around—compared with the past, the inn is strangely quiet now, with more than twenty people sitting in the shop, all in black clothes. The black cloak and black boots are also inseparable from the body, and they don't smile, punch, fight, chat or gossip, and don't even chew.

There was only one man among the crows like a phoenix, completely different from these men in black, and these men in black treated him respectfully, like soldiers from the underworld seeing King Yama.

A young gentleman, dressed in a blue satin brocade robe, with a silver inlaid emerald hair crown on his head, a white blue and flower belt around his waist, and a peacock blue earring on his left ear.Looking at others, it seems that a piece of jade is extremely precious, but they don't like the fine nectar and jade liquid that those officials and gentry like.

Xiao Er boldly took a look at this young master, and was unavoidably surprised: the weather is so dry that people wish they could shed their skin, how can there be people drinking spirits like this?

I have been making a living at this inn for so many years, and I have frequented heroic swordsmen and exotic beauties, but I have never seen such a cool and handsome appearance. Thinking about it like this, I can't help but feel a pity, I can only think of this person's only flaw It is because of insufficient energy and blood, and his face is too blue.

Suddenly, someone outside knocked on the door vigorously, and there was a bang and bang, which made Ye Qianlang frowned and put down the wine bowl in his hand.

Luo Wang winked at Xiao Er to send him away, and Xiao Er immediately trotted two steps to open the door, yelling: "The shop is full, so we won't be entertaining you anymore! Master, you should go to another place—oh! "

As soon as the door was opened, Xiao Er let out a scream, and his whole body seemed to be slapped and flew away, and happened to fall at Ye Qianlang's feet.

"Ouch! My fart... ass..." He was still groaning in pain, but seeing more than a dozen men in black had already drawn their knives, he was so frightened that he knelt down on the ground before getting up, Calling out again and again, "Grandpa, I didn't intentionally startle you... I beg Grandpa to let me live..."

With a wave of his hand, Ye Qianlang signaled the Jinyiwei guards not to act rashly, and raised his face to look coldly outside the door.

"There are barren deserts and Gobi deserts for a hundred miles, and you are the only inn, which one can you go to?! You have to wait on me when the master comes, and you won't be allowed to say 'no'!" The outsider roared loudly. With a high voice, he slapped the wooden door of the inn again, and said, "Do you know who I am? Saying my name will scare you to death. I can kill you with a single blow!"

Saying so, outsiders have already entered through the door.Looking at him, he was a man of more than nine feet. He was born with dragon eyebrows and tiger eyes. He carried a dragon-patterned sword on his shoulder. It was the same as the sword, inlaid with gold and silver, decorated with tortoiseshell, and decorated with rhinoceros horns. , crackling sound.

The man also seemed to realize that the atmosphere in the inn today was different from the past, he was not at all afraid after being slightly startled, he threw his arms up and held his head upright, the flame of the oil lamp also swayed with his steps.

Seeing that he is a reckless man who doesn't know the importance, Luo Wang relieved a little, and said softly: "My lord, how about making a bet with you?"

He didn't say anything, but just pointed his eyes at the knife that the man was carrying on his shoulder. Ye Qianlang was rarely in a good mood, so he nodded knowingly: "I bet you can't carry it."

As soon as the words fell, another person came in from outside the door. It looked like a man dressed up, but after a closer look at his appearance, he found that this person had eyebrows like distant mountains and eyes like stars, with a lock of black hair hanging down and a jade neck exposed , she is clearly a beautiful woman disguised as a man.Luo Wang and the woman looked at each other, and their eyes wandered to a piece of animal skin wrapped around her waist, and saw a few small knives attached to it, with a faint blue light shining on the blades, obviously poisoned.

Xiao Er rubbed his buttocks and stood up, Xu didn't recognize the woman in front of him, and asked angrily, "Where did you come from?"

Casting a cold look at Xiao Er, the woman took out a silver coin from her waist, threw it over and said, "I'm the one who can hit the city with a knife."

It's ridiculous that in this frontier land, everyone is proud of claiming to be invincible.Luo Wang approached Ye Qianlang with his head sideways, and reminded in a low voice: "My lord, be careful with her knife."

Ye Qianlang nodded slightly to show that the other party was right, and was about to raise his hand to have another bowl of wine when he saw another person enter the inn.

Wearing a bamboo hat, carrying the wind and frost on his shoulders, and wearing old clothes that seem to shake off a few catties of sand, this person is carrying a candle, the shadow cast by the bamboo hat covers most of his face, and his nose is straight and his jaw is straight. Handsome, her lips seem to be smiling without smiling, clearly frivolous and affectionate.

Although he didn't fully see the appearance of the person coming, he could still see his down and out, but this person walked calmly and elegantly, he looked three parts like a chivalrous man, three parts like a hermit, and three parts like that unruly prodigal son, There is still no more, no less noble air.

"If this person doesn't have no martial arts, then he's a great master." Luo Wang turned his head and saw Ye Qianlang's sword eyebrows were lightly drawn and his phoenix eyes were slightly narrowed, as if he was distracted, so he called him again, "My lord... my lord ?”

Ye Qianlang did not hear it, since the third person entered the inn, his eyes never left him.

"In the past, I couldn't wait for a guest for a long time, but today I came here all at once." Seeing this man's poor clothes, Xiao Er couldn't hide his contempt in his heart, and asked intentionally, "Aren't you also a swordsman?"

"In Xiakou border city." The voice was low and pleasant, the visitor burst out laughing after saying that, and raised his hand to take off the bamboo hat on his head.

The flame seedlings swayed here and there, the store was silent, a pair of deep eyes appeared in the darkness, and Kou Biancheng also turned to look at Ye Qianlang.

It was a coincidence that the four eyes just met, and suddenly there was a thunderclap in the sky, and the long-awaited rainstorm finally fell.

The rain was raging, and the sound of the rain was rushing, just like the person in the play, before putting on powder and ink on the stage, he must first beat the drums for him and listen to him open his throat.

Ye Qianlang felt that this person looked familiar, not only did he feel familiar, but he also had a rare feeling in his heart.

This is undoubtedly the first time in the world. Thinking about Commander Ye's first love affair at the age of 15, although it did not attract countless people, it also attracted a lot of beauties looking for death and life for him. It is the one who regards beauty as a pink skeleton, fame and wealth as soil in front of a grave, heart as firm as a rock, blood as cold as ice, and neither wind nor rain nor sunshine.

But in this barren land on the edge of the desert, as if turning around and looking back, I suddenly reunited with an old acquaintance whom I haven't seen for a long time.

This year, Xirong has carried away the World League, and has been following the autumn wind to invade the border towns.

It's an interesting name.

Luo Wang remembered the previous bet with Ye Qianlang, so he raised his hand to sway the man, and said, "Can I borrow your knife to take a look?"

The men don't seem to be bold and unrestrained on the outside, but they are thick and thin. Seeing that these men in black have official boots on their feet, and thinking that they will spend the night in this inn no matter what, they said with a stern face, "My sword is not good. Look carefully at the rare treasured sword!" Raising his hand, he threw the dragon-patterned sword to Luo Wang.

Luo Wang naturally stretched out his hand to catch it, but he didn't know that the knife weighed a thousand catties, his face was flushed, and he tried his best to raise his breath with both hands, so as not to be crushed by the knife.

Ye Qianlang took the knife in Luo Wang's hand with one hand, easily pulled the knife out of its sheath, took a look, and sure enough, although the scabbard was a little crafty, this knife was indeed rare.

Ye Qianlang put the treasured knife back into the scabbard, but instead of handing it back to the man, he turned the blade and handle of the knife over, facing himself with the tip of the knife, and handed it to Kou Biancheng beside him politely, smiling. Said: "Good knife."

Commander Ye smiled, but he couldn't see a trace of joy in his smile, his pale complexion was faintly bruised, his eyes were fiercer than the light of a knife, most people don't say to receive a knife, even if they connect with him, their eyes will be frightened However, Kou Biancheng seemed indifferent, neither retreating nor giving in, a pair of smiling eyes greeted him, and he stretched out his hand generously to meet him.

Unexpectedly, as soon as the five fingers touched the handle of the knife, a gust of yin and cold air came straight through. If a person has no internal strength foundation, his meridians will burst and he will die on the spot.

Ye Qianlang wanted to pour the cold air of Wuyin Fenxinjue into the opponent's body through the blade, but was forced back by a fiery internal force, so he raised his eyebrows, immediately continued to exert two points of strength, and leaned over to ask :"who?"

Kou Biancheng also leaned forward, and replied with a smile neither humble nor condescending: "Businessman."

On the surface, the two looked calm, they came and went, asked and answered, but in fact they had already competed under each other's hands.

When the two palms meet, whoever loses the first will be in danger of being injured—it is even more difficult for this knife. You have a cold air, and I have a hot current. The ice and fire melt together, and the water vapor gradually condenses on the knife. , the water vapor gathers into water droplets in an instant, dripping on the ground.

If you score a point, I will also score a point. In a blink of an eye, the two have heard each other's breath, and their eyelashes are separated.

"Sell what?"

"Sell medicinal materials."

"What medicine?"

"This medicine is useful for men, but not for women, for adults, for old people, for lovers, and not for lovers..." Kou Biancheng looked directly at the pair of lacquered eyes, and the corner of his mouth smiled slightly. The scriptures are also quite intimate, "All the three religions and nine streams are useful, but the lonely monk and the eunuch don't need it."

"Oh?" Ye Qianlang raised one corner of his mouth slightly, and couldn't tell if the smile was sarcasm or sarcasm, "Then may I ask Mr. Kou, is Ye useful?"

Just looking at this man's face and the spirits on the table, one can tell that the cold air has entered his body and he needs to use it to keep out the cold.Kou Biancheng suppressed his joking expression, and said: "Kou has traveled all over the world and made his home, and has a little knowledge of difficult and rare diseases. If you don't mind, Kou may help you to get rid of the cold in your body."

"No need, Ye doesn't like human feelings." The other party said "Master" when he opened his mouth, obviously he has good eyesight and recognized the official boots on his feet.Ye Qianlang smiled genuinely, this smile was shallow but charming, and it was so incomparably tacit that the two of them unanimously withdrew their palm strength.

"It's an honor for Gao Xuan to come here." He returned the dragon-patterned saber to the other party completely, and then reported his family name: "I'm Xia Ye Qianlang."
