Crown Sword

Seeing Gongyangyue go away, those soldiers crowded up, left a sentence of Xiahou Shaoxia, right a sentence of Xiahou Shaoxia's persuasion, pointed at the emperor and queen soil, and taught him not to get angry with his classmates. Since they don't believe it, they can prove it with actions, saying that they must do a few more good deeds in the past few days to accumulate virtue.

Xia Houzhen was exhausted physically and mentally, and nodded silently.

The head pretended to be hesitant, added more firewood, and added fuel to the fire: "I think that young man seems to be dissatisfied. If it's difficult, we'd better leave this place. Back then, I was conscripted into the Qin State, although it was not my wish. But in the end, if you hurt your comrades, it will be retribution and reincarnation."

"No matter what you say, as long as you work together in the future, no one is born to make mistakes, let alone the world is difficult." Xia Houzhen shook his head and sighed, "As for him, he just has a bad temper and a good heart."

When Xia Houzhen also left, these people immediately put away their pitiful looks, and one of the younger brothers turned around and asked, "Brother Miao, can we still do that?"

"Do it, why don't you do it? It's a good thing to deliver to your door. It's really a dream." , with high browbones, loose facial features, and a little air, with a shrunken mouth and a sneer all the year round.He leaned on the back of the younger brother's neck to stand up, brushed the dust off his knees, and looked at the direction where the dusty back disappeared, showing disdain: "When we enter Mianzhu City, we will do a good job and wait for the catastrophe." When it comes to money, if he walks all over the world like this, even he, Jiangu, will never find us!"

"But those two boys..."

"Two stinking greenheads, still want to fight with me? Bah! When I went to fight the enemy, they were still drinking milk in the arms of the woman!" Miao Dingwu gently stroked Gao's swollen jaw with his fingers, and twitched. With a pain, he snorted, "What kind of high-ranking disciple of Jiangu, treat yourself as your own onion, if you have a chance to kill it, show some color to those high-ranking sects, let them know how powerful I am!"

The younger brother hurriedly asked: "Then what are we going to do now?"

Miao Dingwu slapped him on the head, and said with a smirk: "What are you doing? Of course it's a good deed!"

Xia Houzhen inquired around Mianzhu again, and confirmed that it was Miao Dingwu and others who were sneaking around and disturbing the law and order earlier, so he went to the ruined temple to warn him, but no one was there, so he walked around and bumped into those people when he turned around. This reckless man is really "accumulating virtue and doing good deeds" everywhere. He thought about it again, although he missed an opportunity to let Gong Yangyue perform, but being able to educate others and avoid fighting is a kind of good fruit, so he also promised to dredge them up , Distributed to several households, first do some part-time labor to make ends meet.

Gongyangyue is in front of the window every day, watching him in and out with cold eyes.

Until three days later, Xia Houzhen came back with some pork and water chestnuts, and passed by the window, Gong Yangyue thought that he seldom cooks, at most he would fry an egg, suddenly dumped meat and vegetables, felt very strange, and called out: "What day is today?"

"What date?" Xia Hou never thought that he would ask him back.

Gong Yangyue curled his lips and stared at the basket in his hand, Xia Houzhen finally came to his senses and explained that Miao Dingwu and the others had settled down and worked very hard for two days. As soon as they got together, they shared some as a thank-you gift, and sighed again and again: "I didn't expect that some big bastards still have such a heart, I feel ashamed, I think I can leave Mianzhu after waiting for two more days... "

Could it be that he was thinking too much and wrongly blaming those people?

No, not possible!

Gong Yangyue was angry and restless. If it were someone else, he might have been shaken too, but the scene of the Qin army breaking the city was still vivid in his memory, which made him hard to let go.He didn't know if there was really a so-called incompatibility in this world, a conflict of aura, and whenever he saw Miao Dingwu's face, he would always unconsciously believe that he was not a good person.

Jian Gu cultivated his moral character, and taught many disciples who were pure-hearted, and his emotions were almost written on his face with pen and ink. In contrast, Gong Yangyue had to hide it deeper, and he would not show his joy. Instead, he smiled, calling Xia Houzhen so straightforward, he couldn't figure out his mind at all, and always got frustrated.

However, this situation mostly occurred in the past few years. After getting along for a long time, although Xia Houzhen still felt that he was capricious, he could faintly feel the basic emotions.

The atmosphere is a little tense at the moment, seeing Gong Yangyue's lips fluttering, as if about to speak, Xiahou really suspected that he had heard himself praised, and wanted to say a few bad things about Miao, so he stopped first: "This is the end, you Don't persuade me..."

Gong Yangyue didn't want to persuade, but just wanted to explain her puzzling intuition to him, but since he opened his mouth like this, it seemed that he was deliberately finding fault with others, so he simply laughed at himself: "Persuade? Who wants to persuade you? But three, the first time I persuaded you was out of love between you and me, the second time I persuaded you out of kindness, and the third time...that's called cheap!"

After finishing speaking, Ram Yue closed the window heavily.

"Ah Yue?"

Xia Houzhen slapped on the window, and Gongyangyue directly closed the gate. Seeing that the reflected shadow was still persistent, he raised his hand again, and slapped inside back, scaring people back, and said angrily: "Why, you agree with me so much?" , and knock on the window to remind?"

The people outside really quieted down.

Gong Yangyue breathed out, and said coldly: "Don't call me for dinner, and... what, don't cook pork and water chestnut together, it will cause abdominal pain."

Xia Houzhen glanced at the window panes that were tightly closed so that no wind was exposed, then at the meat on hand and the water chestnuts wrapped in oil paper, said "ah", put down his things in a hurry and went out, only worried about Miao Dingwu They didn't know each other, and they were poisoned by eating together. After all, before they left, they were talking about the rare time they had, so they called their brothers to have a meal of braised water chestnut with pork at night.

Hearing no movement outside, Gong Yangyue opened the window, looked down at the things piled up under the wall, kicked the legs of the table to vent his anger, strode out the door, carried the meat and vegetables into the room, and faced the paper Bao's water chestnut was in a daze——

It stands to reason that this thing is only harvested in August, but now it is only April, and it will not grow at all. Even if there is, it is just an old product.Some mean people will indeed send off their servants with endless old goods, but that should also be in the south of the Yangtze River. After all, Bashu is not rich in this kind of food, and it is rare. How can it be possible to stock up on it for a year?

Gong Yangyue picked up the paper bag and looked at it repeatedly, and finally rubbed it with her fingers, put it under the nose and sniffed lightly, smelling the faint fragrance of licorice and angelica, which is a common smell in the medicine halls in the city.

This thing is not a reward at all, but paid for.

What did Miao Dingwu collect water chestnuts for?It's just to tease people, that's too immoral, they live in the inn, as long as they give the food to the cook, they will naturally reveal their secrets.

Then there is only one possibility, since Xiahou is really good-tempered, no matter when he finds out, he will not think it was intentional, he will only treat it as an unintentional act, then he will definitely turn around and remind others that Miao Dingwu deliberately wanted to Lead him.

Gong Yangyue's heart tightened, and he was a little worried and wanted to go out. His stubborn senior brother would probably suffer a loss, but when he got to the door, he thought about it, and felt that he would only remember if he suffered a loss, lest Xia Houzhen always have many reasons not to believe it. For himself, when someone shows his true colors, he will obediently turn around.

Thinking of this, Gong Yangyue swept the things off the table, leaned over the table, and waited in peace.

Indeed, as he guessed, Miao Dingwu deliberately lured people to go, and showed his feet to teach him that the brothers were going to set fire to rob tonight. They put sweat medicine in the food and wanted to smoke people to death. If you get caught, you can only go back to save others.

In the days when they changed their minds and did good deeds, these soldiers not only won the hearts of the people, but also took the opportunity to find out the bad situation inside and outside the city. For this kind of young talent who is not deeply involved in the world and relies on martial arts, it is easy to ambush and assassinate this kind of young talent with tricks.But Xia Houzhen is the grandson of the Seventh Elder after all, and it is still difficult to kill him with one blow, but this assumes that for other low-level thieves, like Miao Dingwu, who was born in the battlefield, has experienced many hardships and escaped death, naturally knows The weakness of human nature, and understand the importance of making up the knife.

He kidnapped the youngest son of the Dong family and used him to threaten the wife of the Dong family, telling her that as long as Xia Houzhen stabbed him with the poisonous dagger while carrying her out of the fire, he would let his son go.The madam was terrified, so she had no choice but to respond, but she didn't want to really hurt others, and she only hoped for a savior to come.

However, there was only a single-handed young man who came. The woman was afraid that he would lose, her fear deepened, and she was stimulated by the severed hand she had prepared, so she immediately struck cruelly.

This family has lived in Mianzhu for a long time, there is absolutely no possibility of collusion, it can only be planned by someone.

Xia Houzhen was hit by a knife, knocked the woman out, forced himself to seal his acupoints, suppressed the poison, and went in and out of the fire scene to drag out all the unconscious people. On the other side, Miao Dingwu took advantage of the chaos to rob and flee .The people nearby also woke up one after another, and hurriedly put out the fire. Seeing that the wind was blowing, they didn't bring water to save them.

After dragging the last person out, the beam collapsed and a lump of flesh fell to his feet. Only then did Xia Houzhen realize that it was the dead son of the head of the household. He put the child beside the woman, held his long sword tightly, and chased out of Mianzhu by following the footprints. city.

How could he have imagined that the looting villain was not in a hurry to run away, but was arrogantly waiting outside the city for him to enter the net.

----

There were two rumbling thunders outside, Gong Yangyue let go of his hands, knocked his chin on the table, and woke up suddenly.The unfilled lamp oil was burned out, the house was dark and dark, the window was blown open at some point, the two pages could not be seamed together, and were rattled by the wind. Go call Xiao Er.

There are huge black shadows spread out on the sky, like clouds but not like clouds, but like black smoke that has not dissipated.

"Guest officer, the lamp oil you want."

"What's going on out there?"

"Several families were attacked by thieves, and the house burned down. Fortunately, it rained just in time. Don't worry, guest officer, it's far away from us. However, there is chaos in the city, so don't join in the fun in the middle of the night." Xiao Er said a lot. , Out of the corner of the eye, he caught a glimpse of the silver sword on his waist, shut up immediately, and rushed the guests in the next room to help.

Gong Yangyue didn't go back to the house with the lamp oil, but knocked on the door of the neighboring room.

There was no one in the room to respond, and the moment he opened the door and entered, he suddenly realized that Xia Houzhen hadn't returned yet.The engraving on the table points to Haizheng. It has been several hours since we went out in the afternoon. Under normal circumstances, people should have returned. Could it be that the person surnamed Miao couldn’t sit still? To break the "good thing" and go after the villain?

"Hmph, if you don't believe me, if you believed it earlier, there would be such a big mess!" Gong Yangyue said to herself, lighting up the room brightly, and sat in the banquet waiting for him to return.

At first he was complacent, thinking of him coming back, he had to say something sour.

Then there was joy, thinking that he would know that stubbornness was wrong when he was drenched in the water and suffered from being dumb. As for being caught by thieves and walking in the water, it has nothing to do with the people in the government office.

But in the end, all that's left is infinite fear—

Xia Houzhen never came back, and the night wind blew against the door, every time he suspected someone was there, but every time he opened it, there was only strong wind and rain, leaves and flowers falling.Slowly, Gong Yangyue panicked. He thought that Xia Houzhen might stumble at the hands of those people, but he never thought that he would die. After all, he is a senior brother with strong martial arts.

But killing people sometimes depends on more than just martial arts and swordsmanship.

"Xiaoer, Xiaoer! Which houses were the thieves?" Gong Yangyue couldn't sit still, and rushed out the door, without any hats and coir raincoats, and only asked for an oiled paper umbrella.

Xiao Er jumped, shivering, and pointed in the direction, not because he didn't want to say it, but because it was in the middle of the night and he wasn't next to him, so he couldn't figure it out without clairvoyance.Asked is the same as not asked, just this little clue, even with the eyes can see, Gong Yangyue felt a little regretful in his heart, thinking that he should not be angry in the past two days, at least he should inquire about what Xia Houzhen did arrange.

Seeing the swordsman rushing into the rainstorm, Xiaoer climbed onto the pillar and shouted loudly: "Guest officer, it's windy and rainy, it's so late, where are you going?"

"Send an umbrella!"

Gong Yangyue tucked the umbrella under her ribs and forgot to hold it up at all, Xiao Er felt so strange, how could anyone give someone an umbrella and drench it by himself?But how did he know that Gong Yangyue's mind was confused, even though he didn't admit that it was "saving people", even though he never thought about it, the sound of umbrella is the same as "scatter".

Three red lights flashed across the sky, looking from a distance, they looked like blooming rhododendrons——

It was Jiangu's message firework, called "Zigui Crying Blood", all disciples carried three with them, they were not on the line of life and death, and they would not use them without permission.Gongyang Yue's heart was half cold, he knew that Xia Hou really wanted to gather the disciples who had experienced training around Mianzhu, he was already the best in his generation, even he was no match for him, what kind of dead end did he go?

Perhaps, the fireworks are not even a summons, but a call to avoid.
