When the villain knows the plot
Chapter 100 Horse Racing (1)
In a few days, the horse racing meeting arrived.
Behind the fence of the racecourse, sitting or standing, crowds of people watching the race were crowded, and there was a dense scene at a glance, an unprecedented grand occasion.
Xie Xiaoqing was led to the wide platform that was set up. They sat not far from King Khan Menglu. The left and right sides were either royal families or important subordinates of Menglu.Others greeted Xie Xiaoqing, and he responded politely, but he didn't bother to get closer to them.
There are beautiful women singing and dancing in the arena. After singing and dancing, the horse race will officially begin.
Xie Xiaoqing soon saw his apprentice, he was wearing a snow-white riding outfit, although he was small, he still stood out among the crowd.There was no nervous expression on the little face like others, but instead looked around curiously with a little freshness.
Seeing Xie Xiaoqing from afar, he blinked at him and smiled.Xie Xiaoqing's heart softened, and the depression hidden in his heart seemed to have dissipated a lot.
As an opening, Menglu's seven sons and daughters competed in riding and archery in the first round, and the eldest son, Nalin, took the first place in both of them as expected.Meng Lu praised him without hesitation, and gave him a good horse on the spot.Xiaozhusheli's two items are average, but considering his age, they can be considered pretty good.
Xie Xiaoqing watched Xiaozhu Sheli get on the stage, ran towards him, and sat down beside him.He was gasping for breath, his little face was flushed, and there was a chill wrapped around his body.Xie Xiaoqing took him into his arms, covered his cold little hands, and poured him a bowl of steaming goat's milk.
Seeing him looking at the highland barley wine in front of him, he said gently: "You are still young, you are not allowed to drink." Grassland people love wine, even children are encouraged to drink it, but Xie Xiaoqing grew up in Zhongzhou and was taught not to drink it since childhood.
"Well, Tababu." Zhu Sheli responded, he was embraced by Xie Xiaoqing, and he was not as awkward as the first time, and leaned obediently in his arms.
The two watched the next match.The beef, mutton and pastries on the table in front of them all went into the cub's belly.After eating, I still felt that it was not enough, so I looked at the neighboring table eagerly.Seeing this, Xiaozhu Sheli turned her head and said something in Xie Xiaoqing's ear. Xie Xiaoqing glanced at him with a smile and replied, then waved her sleeves and flicked the plate that was emptied by the little wolf cub.
In an instant, there were a few more chunks of fragrant mutton on the plate, the little wolf cub's eyes lit up, and he began to eat bitterly again.
Not far away, a nobleman who grabbed a piece of mutton and was about to put it into his mouth was stunned. The gravy dripped from his fingers, but his hands were empty.
This comparison took until noon before the No. 1 in riding and archery was decided.
Meng Lu rewarded the two, looked at Xie Xiaoqing again, and said loudly: "We still have the most powerful warrior here, Tabibu from Zhushe, come and open everyone's eyes!"
Xie Xiaoqing hastily declined, but in the end the kindness was hard to turn down, even Zhushe looked at him expectantly, so he had no choice but to go forward and accept the long arrow and curved bow offered by Meng Lv's entourage.
When he came to the open space in front of the platform, the attendant covered his eyes with a black cloth.
According to his realm, it is actually the same to be blinded or not.
Xie Xiaoqing was concentrating on perception in his spiritual consciousness, and three wild geese tied with red silk flew over his head.He drew the bow, let go, and the feathered arrows flew away. There were three swishing sounds, and all the wild geese were hit by the arrows and fell down.
"Sure enough, he is worthy of being the number one warrior of my army!" Meng Luzhang applauded.Cheers erupted from the onlookers.
Xie Xiaoqing took off the black cloth blindfolded and smiled, showing no complacency.It was too easy for him to do this, so naturally he would not take the praise of others to heart.
"Tabib's arrow skills are really powerful." After returning to his seat, Zhu Sheli looked at him and said.
"When you learn Taoism, you can be so powerful." Xie Xiaoqing said.Neither of them paid any attention to Narin who was looking towards them.
Then there were tug-of-war, wrestling and other events. At sunset, the handymen removed the fence and placed many piles of bonfires in the field, with barbecues on the fire for people to sit around.Everyone on the stage also went down one after another, mixing among the civilians.
Not long after Xie Xiaoqing and Zhu Sheli sat down by the fire, a girl with beautiful eyebrows came over, holding a piece of pure white silk to give to Xie Xiaoqing, the "Prairie Warrior".Xie Xiaoqing had stayed in Beiyuan for a few years, knowing that this was a gift only given by the girls to the person they like, so naturally she would not accept it.
He had his master in his heart, so he couldn't tolerate others, but he didn't want to mention these things to others, so he just said euphemistically: "I'm a cultivator, I'm used to being pure-hearted and ascetic, and I don't understand the customs of the world." He refused and left with a sad expression.
As dusk gradually fell, many people danced among the fires, and some sang loudly, and the scene became more and more cheerful.
Xie Xiaoqing looked at Zhu Sheli, at first he was a little happy, but now he started to feel sleepy, his eyes gradually couldn't open.He hugged him, got up and said, "Let's go back and rest."
"Okay." Zhu Sheli replied in a daze.
Walking out of the racecourse, the noise of laughter was suddenly left behind.The camp of the Qin army was also quiet and empty.
Xie Xiaoqing looked at the pearl house in his arms again, feeling for a moment that there were only the two of them left in the world.
After so many years of entanglement, it is not easy to not become a stranger among all living beings.This cause and effect must be very deep...
Not far from the tent, the mastiff Batu rushed out to meet him, barking.The little wolf cub lazily climbed onto its back, let the mastiff carry it back to the tent, and then simply used the thick dog hair as a cushion, lay down and fell asleep.
After entering the tent, Xie Xiaoqing gently helped the dozing Zhusheli take off his coat, shoes and socks, and let him lie down.
"Tababu." Zhusheli suddenly called out, opened his eyes, and seemed to be a little sober.
"Sleep well, I have prepared a gift for you, you can find it under the blanket when you wake up tomorrow." Xie Xiaoqing said.
"Hmm!" Zhu Sheli was obviously aroused by his gift, and didn't want to wait until dawn, so he groped secretly on the animal skin blanket, trying to figure out where it was hidden.Xie Xiaoqing held down his flailing hand through the quilt.
"Not yet, only after a good night's sleep."
"Yes, Tababu." Zhu Sheli closed her eyes obediently.
After he fell asleep, Xie Xiaoqing began to practice meditation every day.He was a little restless, thinking of the night he and his master spent the New Year's Eve in Yangxi City Lord's Mansion many years ago...
The master also gave him several gifts, and he bought a pair of sword tassels for the master.It's just that the sword spike is no longer on the master.Before the master reincarnated, he wiped off the branding of the storage bag and gave it to him. Xie Xiaoqing checked it, and found that the Fentian sword was gone, and there was no trace of the apricot yellow silk ribbon tied to the hilt.
It would be a lie to say that he is not sad, but he has long been used to this loss.
The next morning, as soon as Zhu Sheli opened his eyes, he didn't even have time to put on his coat, so he reached out and groped under the blanket.When he found a small package, he happily dragged it out and opened it to look.
While he was flipping through his presents, the mastiff barked "Woof" and "Woof" towards the outside of the tent.
"Come in." Xie Xiaoqing had already "seen" the visitor in his spiritual consciousness, and said calmly.
It was Nalin who came. He ordered his entourage to wait outside the tent, walked in alone, and gave the mastiff a complicated look.The mastiff didn't bark at him anymore, but also took two steps back, avoiding him, and didn't come forward to make out.
"Mr. Xie, I want to continue to learn from you!" Nalin saluted Xie Xiaoqing.
Was it because he saw him shooting arrows blindfolded at the horse racing meeting, so did he have the idea of cultivating Taoism again?
Xie Xiaoqing said indifferently: "Cultivating Taoism requires patience. Three days of fishing and two days of drying nets is not enough." Nalin has already given up once in the middle, this time, will he not persist for a few days before leaving?
"I know I was wrong, this time I really made up my mind, and I will never give up halfway!" Nalin said.There was a firm look in his eyes.
Xie Xiaoqing looked at him carefully, then nodded and said: "Okay, you can practice again."
After that, Nalin really came every day to practice together with Zhu Sheli.He progressed very slowly, but he never complained.
Xie Xiaoqing patiently answered the questions of the two of them equally.
"I wonder if you would like to practice martial arts?" Xie Xiaoqing asked again after answering Nalin's question that day.With Nalin's aptitude, if there were no adventures, he would be able to cultivate to the foundation building. Maybe he should be allowed to learn martial arts and switch to martial arts. With his fitness and physical strength, he must be able to achieve something.
Xie Xiaoqing secretly sighed in his heart, he still didn't know how to adapt, and he didn't think of this until now.
Zhu Sheli, who was concentrating on meditation and exercise, suddenly opened his eyes and glanced at them.
Nalin was taken aback, and then said: "Does Tababu think that I am more suitable for martial arts? To be honest, I think so too, and I would like to learn from you!"
Seeing that he had a saber on his waist, Xie Xiaoqing taught him a saber technique from his memory.Nalin practiced with great interest this time, and Xie Xiaoqing also praised him for his talent.When the attendant came to call him, Nalin still refused to leave, and was urged again and again by the attendant, so he reluctantly withdrew his knife and left.
As soon as he left, Zhusheli woke up from the slumber, looking at Xie Xiaoqing with clear eyes.
"Do you have any questions?" Xie Xiaoqing sat down in front of him again.
Zhu She didn't speak, and looked away at the mastiff squatting aside.
"What's wrong with you?" Seeing that he seemed a little unhappy, Xie Xiaoqing grabbed his little hand and asked softly.
Xiaozhu Sheli still didn't speak, but quietly pulled out her hand.
"Are you angry with me? Why?" Xie Xiaoqing was puzzled.He couldn't guess what was going on in Zhushe, so he said: "Do you also want to practice martial arts? It is better to concentrate on cultivating Taoism. You are very talented in the Dao of Fire, and you will surely achieve great success if you practice hard."
"En." Zhu Sheli responded.Seemingly not wanting Xie Xiaoqing to continue questioning, he closed his eyes again and practiced.
Ever since he switched to martial arts, Nalin ran here whenever he had free time, practicing sword skills in the open space in front of the tent.Under Xie Xiaoqing's guidance, he used every move and every move, and soon he had a good look. Every knife had the sound of wind and thunder, and the momentum was astonishing.
In comparison, it is much quieter to meditate in the Zhushe in the tent.
On this day, after Nalin had practiced his sword skills, he called Zhusheli out again for the first time, and the two children walked into the secluded place, as if they wanted to say a few words that they didn't want others to hear.The agate string on Zhusheli's wrist was the defensive magic weapon Xie Xiaoqing gave him, and if he couldn't break through this defense, Xie Xiaoqing let them go without using his spiritual sense to spy.
After a while, little Zhu Sheli came back alone.
"What did you say?" Xie Xiaoqing asked.
Zhu Sheli shook his head and refused to answer, with a stubborn look in his eyes, when Xie Xiaoqing knelt down and continued to ask, he ran into the tent in a flash.
It was not until the next day that Xie Xiaoqing knew what the two children were discussing.
Early in the morning, Zhu Sheli asked his attendants to lead him to the racecourse, and even said fiercely to Xie Xiaoqing not to let him go with him.
Xie Xiaoqing stared blankly, watching him leave.With the scope of his spiritual consciousness, even if he is in the tent, he can clearly see what happened on the racecourse.
When they arrived at the racecourse, Nalin was already waiting there, leading a sleek horse with a sleek mane.
Zhu Sheli also went to lead a horse, not the pony he used to ride, but a bay red horse much taller than his own.
The two jumped on their horses at the same time and galloped away.
After a stick of incense, the two figures reappeared, one in front and the other in the back, actually biting tightly.
In Nalin's heart, he was indeed taken aback. He won the first place in the horse race meeting. Unexpectedly, the riding skills in Zhushe are not inferior to him!
In the blink of an eye, the end has come.
Zhu Sheli actually surpassed half a horse's body.His whole body was drenched in sweat, his mind relaxed at this moment, and he almost rolled off the horse.
Xie Xiaoqing appeared suddenly, grabbed the rein, and took him into his arms.
Zhu Sheli coughed badly, his body was weak, and he was fed with cold wind, coughing until his pale face was blushing.
Nalin also got off the horse, raised his hand to wipe the sweat from his forehead, and looked at the two of them with an expression of disbelief.
Xie Xiaoqing couldn't care less about others, the green spiritual power was revealed from the palm of his hand, and he stroked Zhusheli's chest.
After a while, the coughing gradually stopped, and the cold body in Xiaozhu's house warmed up.
"What are you guys comparing?" Xie Xiaoqing asked.Although he gave a spiritual object for self-defense to the Zhushe, the horse race just now still made him terrified.Although the bay red horse was a handsome horse, it was really difficult to control, and the Zhushe was too young, he almost fell off the horse several times!The rough reins also left deep marks on his tender palms, oozing blood.
Nalin looked at Zhu Sheli, his eyes were unwilling, but he was helpless, and said: "I underestimated him. If I win, I will go and beg Father Khan to let you move to my place so that I can ask for advice." , if he wants to learn Taoism, he will come to me to find you."
"But I lost, I have nothing to say."
After Nalin finished speaking, Xie Xiaoqing was taken aback, and looked down at the child in his arms.He immediately understood why Zhu Sheli was unhappy recently.There was a trace of tenderness in my heart.
"Are you still angry with me?" Xie Xiaoqing smiled, "I taught you to be friendly with others, as long as you are not an enemy, treat them with kindness. Nalin is your brother after all..."
Seeing Zhu Sheli bit his lip, he seemed to be even more unhappy, and hugged his arm tightly again, saying: "But you are my favorite apprentice and the most important person to me. It won't change. No one can take me from you."
After hearing this, Zhu Sheli raised his eyes again, and looked at the expression on his face.
"You're coaxing the kids again." He said coquettishly, but his little face couldn't hold back anymore, and he broke into a smile.
"I didn't coax you, even if you grow up, I would say the same."
"Um……"
Nestled in his arms, the long eyelashes covered the eyelids, as well-behaved as a snow-white and beautiful kitten, Xie Xiaoqing couldn't help teasing him: "If you lost just now, you were going to give me up Narin?"
"Then I will lend it to him for a few days first, and I will definitely snatch it back." Zhu Sheli said.
"Okay." Xie Xiaoqing smiled, "Even if I lose this time, you are so smart, you will definitely win next time. It seems that I don't have to worry about being loaned out for too long."
……
After a few years of brief peace, the Naqin tribe once again fought with a large tribe.Xie Xiaoqing and Zhu Sheli were able to stay out of the matter, but the time for Nalin to come to learn sword skills was getting shorter and shorter.
As early as when he entered the Naqin Ministry, Xie Xiaoqing declined Meng Lu's solicitation.At the beginning of the war, Meng Lu didn't look for him.
These days, there were heavy casualties on the battlefield, Meng Lu seemed unable to sit still, he sent someone to invite him first, and came in person after being declined.The heroic middle-aged leader stepped into the tent with a smell of gunpowder and blood all over his body.
Xie Xiaoqing had already guessed his reason for coming.
"King Khan's hospitality these days is in my heart, but I was hunted down and had to hide my whereabouts, but it was inconvenient to take action."
With his own strength, not to mention dealing with a tribe, even if he wants to overthrow the entire Northern Plains, he can do it.But Beiyuan is blocked by the cultivation world, no matter which monk, it is taboo to stir up troubles in Beiyuan.Although Xie Xiaoqing couldn't bear to see the casualties on both sides, he could also see that once he agreed to make a move, he could not withdraw until the Naqin tribe swept Beiyuan, which would only cause more killings.
Seeing that he was determined, Meng Lu took another look at the bead house standing quietly on the side, sighed and left.He still had a lot of urgent things to do, and it was not easy for him to come here.
"Is someone chasing and killing Tabib?" Zhusheli asked after Menglu left.In the past six years, his stature has increased a lot.He has already cultivated to the eighth level of Qi Refining, and his physique has improved a lot.The figure is not burly, but also slender and strong.
Although that Yinglong was seriously injured, he must still be alive, and he doesn't know when he will be found, but Xie Xiaoqing didn't want to tell him now, he just smiled and said: "You don't have to worry, that's just an excuse."
"I didn't help your father, what do you think?" Xie Xiaoqing asked again.
"Tabib is a cultivator, so he really shouldn't care about these things." Zhu Sheli said, "Father Khan wants to use the power of Tababu to unify the northern plains and enter the royal city, but the strength of the Qin tribe itself is not enough. Can Tabibu stay in the clan forever? Father Khan is also old, and Nalin is brave enough to plan, and can't keep the strong Naqin tribe. Once Tabibu leaves, the Qinbu will be stared at Unless all the men of those tribes are killed and the women are used as slaves—but even if Tabib takes action, he will definitely not allow such a thing, will he?"
"You're right." Xie Xiaoqing sighed softly, "I will take care of your father and family members, and I can't take care of other things. Let's cultivate the Tao with peace of mind."
A boy who is only 12 years old can say these words so quietly, and it seems to be commenting on someone who has nothing to do with him.
He is becoming more and more like a master.
"Yes. Tabib," Zhu Sheli suddenly asked again, with a slight smile, "Are you still unwilling to tell me about my past?"
"I'll tell you when you build the foundation." Xie Xiaoqing said softly.
Zhu Sheli's eyebrows and eyes are wide open, which is also very similar to his appearance in his previous life.His tone, attitude, expression... From no one knows when, he gradually has the shadow of "that person".Xie Xiaoqing was both missing and afraid of the shadow he saw on Zhu Sheli.
A few days ago, he accidentally blurted out "Master", and was chased by Zhushe and asked what it meant.
"You are calling me, is that also my name?" Zhu Sheli said, "I have dreamed of you since I was a child, and we have known each other a long time ago, right? There are legends of reincarnation on the grassland, and I know the Tao There is also a theory of predestined relationship."
He actually guessed the truth quite well.
Xie Xiaoqing didn't want him to know about his previous life too early, and he couldn't be too perfunctory, so he had to agree to wait for him to build the foundation.
Zhu Sheli has gradually grown up, and there are some things that cannot be kept secret.
Over the years, he not only let Zhu Sheli stay in the camp to practice, but also took him to many places.As a cultivator who transforms spirits, he can span thousands of miles in an instant.
They have been to the prosperous towns of Zhongzhou, to the plague-ridden villages to treat patients, to the battlefields full of wreckage in the afterglow of the setting sun, and to rescue passers-by who encountered monsters in the mountains...
In fact, Xie Xiaoqing didn't have confidence either. How much did Zhushe listen to what he wanted to teach?He had no previous experience raising children.But even if he can't change Master's nature, Xie Xiaoqing also hopes that he can at least be his cage, trap the evil beast in his body, and prevent him from harming others.
The war in the Naqin tribe continued for a long time, and in a rare peaceful corner of the camp, Zhu Sheli also successfully advanced to the foundation building stage.This is actually a remarkable event, but no one in the Naqin Department knew about it and came to congratulate it.But Xie Xiaoqing still attaches great importance to it, and prepared a whole set of magic weapons for him, including attack, defense, reconnaissance, and flight escape.
Zhu Sheli accepted them one by one.
Even the little wolf cub received a piece of its favorite high-grade demon rabbit meat.High-level monsters are rare, and most of them are low-level, so good meat can only be eaten sparingly.
After the master and apprentice celebrated, Zhusheli asked about his past.
Xie Xiaoqing had no choice but to tell him.Grandma Canghaidao told him part of Master's experience, and he himself participated in part, but the rest can only be skipped in his narration.
Naturally, Xie Xiaoqing also kept in his heart some things that he didn't want to say, and couldn't say.The relationship between him and his master is definitely not just an ordinary master and apprentice, at least not to him, but this love and hatred are hard to understand, and he didn't say it out loud.
When talking about it, Xie Xiaoqing didn't make any comments.After all, it is his master... Even if there is still resentment in his heart, he still has respect in his heart.
Zhu Sheli lowered her head and listened quietly.When talking about his death at the hands of Master, Xie Xiaoqing couldn't help but pause.He wanted to see the expression on Zhu Sheli's face clearly, but Zhu Sheli was only slightly stunned, his eyelids drooped, covering the emotions in his eyes.
"So that's how I used to be." Zhu Sheli said after listening.
He thought for a while, and then said: "His behavior...does make sense."
"If it were you, would you do the same?" Xie Xiaoqing's heart sank.
Zhu Sheli smiled, but did not answer this sentence.But the young man then said: "You don't want me to become like in my previous life, do you? I can't promise you, but..." He stretched out his hand to touch Xie Xiaoqing's dejected eyebrows and said, "At least I can use my demons I swear, unless you do something to me first, I won't hurt you again."
His hands were warm and soft, with the cleansing breath of fire.
In an instant, many memories poured into Xie Xiaoqing's mind... After those illusions dissipated, what appeared were the clear and flawless eyes in the pearl house.
Xie Xiaoqing gently held his hand.
"Now that's what you think, when you recover your memory, you may regret that you made this oath to me."
"If it were me before, I probably wouldn't say that, but I have been reincarnated, and 'he' gave me the opportunity to make a decision with confidence, and my decision is 'his' decision... Even if the memory is restored , how could I regret it?" Zhu Sheli said.
"I..." Xie Xiaoqing stared at him for a long time, and finally smiled, "Actually, as long as you don't force me, how can I bear to do anything to you?"
Now it seems that the enmity between him and his master is hard to avenge.After all, he couldn't be ruthless. The master also taught him kindly and saved his life in danger.But the wrong things Master has done and the lives he has killed are not things that he can expose all at once.
Since we want to stay with the master, we must bear it for him and urge him to redeem the crimes he committed.
A few days later, in the early morning, Zhusheli went to pay his respects to his father Khan Menglu as a routine, but this time, he didn't come back after a long time.
When he was about to leave, Xie Xiaoqing had a feeling in his heart, and released his consciousness to spy quietly.
In the luxurious king's tent, Meng Lu said to Zhu Sheli who was kneeling in front of him: "You have learned Taoism so far, what achievements have you made? Nalin said that you have learned Taoism very quickly. Like your Tabibu Can you shoot arrows blindfolded?"
"Go back to Father Khan, think about it."
"Okay." Meng Lu nodded, "You are 12 years old, and you are not young anymore. In my Qin royal family, there are young heroes who can go to battle and kill the enemy after the age of nine. Your brothers have already gone to the battlefield. Go with them. Don't forget that you are my son, Meng Lu, and win more glory for your mother!"
Xie Xiaoqing, who was spying with his divine sense, frowned slightly, and after a lucky escape, he appeared in the king's tent.
But Zhu Sheli replied without hesitation: "Yes, Father Khan." But Xie Xiaoqing had no time to refuse for him.
"Little brother, do you also want to come and serve our clan?" Meng Lu was not surprised when he saw him suddenly appear, but smiled instead.
"I have seen King Khan." Xie Xiaoqing saluted him respectfully, but did not answer directly.
Meng Lu wanted Zhu Sheli to join the battle, probably to force him to make a move.But Meng Lu didn't know that even if he didn't do this, Xie Xiaoqing would have been taking care of his life long ago.
The attendant led the Zhushe out of the king's tent, and when he came back a while later, he had already changed into a snow-silver armor and a scarlet cloak, and the shiny luster reflected his delicate eyebrows and eyes with a bit of awe-inspiring look.
Seeing his appearance, Meng Lu nodded and asked Zhu Sheli to follow him out of the king's tent.
Xie Xiaoqing also followed.
He grabbed Zhu Sheli's hand, looked at him questioningly, and heard Zhu Sheli's voice transmission: "I have to go, mother has something to hold in Father Khan's hands."
"You are a foundation-builder, so casual weapons can't hurt you, but you have to be careful. There are very few monks in Beiyuan, but there are many martial arts masters. If there is an accident, I will protect you." Xie Xiaoqing knew that the matter was irreversible, so he had to ask road.
"Well, don't worry."
Zhu Sheli looked calm.
Xie Xiaoqing was in a complicated mood, it turned out that Zhu Sheli already knew about it.The mother in the Zhushe and a servant who took care of her were a little unclear, and I thought it was this matter.
Following Menglu to the front of the formation, Zhu Sheli got on his horse.An attendant also brought him a horse, and Xie Xiaoqing waved his hand.
He saw with his own eyes the figure in the red cloak flying in the pearl house, thrown into the billowing smoke and dust rolled up by countless horseshoes.
In the tent, the heavy armor was put aside, and Xie Xiaoqing guided the restless flames in his body for Zhushe, and said softly: "You are too tired, go to sleep."
"Okay." Zhu Sheli was not embarrassed, and fell asleep in his arms.
Every day after leaving the battlefield, Zhu Sheli would still return to their tent and continue to practice.
He has reached the foundation building stage, and he no longer needs to sleep, but it is quite exhausting to consume his physical strength for a few days.Xie Xiaoqing knew that he had gradually gained fame on the battlefield, and his arrows were flawless, and his momentum was intimidating. He once shot through the head of an enemy general.
But what is the use of these false names in Zhushe?On the contrary, it slowed down his practice progress.
After ventilating the breath in his body, Xie Xiaoqing did not hug the sleeping Zhusheli back to the blanket to sleep, but took off his coat and gently covered him.
……
"Hahaha Qing Geer, you have done a great job today, when are you going to treat me?"
"This glass of wine is indispensable for you!"
The laughter of the teenagers floated in from outside the tent.Xie Xiaoqing knew that Zhu Sheli had returned, and brought with him the two new friends he met on the battlefield, both of whom were extremely outstanding fighters of the Naqin tribe.
Xie Xiaoqing was quite pleased that he could make more friends.
Zhu Sheli would bring them here from time to time, and Xie Xiaoqing would heal their new wounds that day.The two young men admired the arrow skills in Zhusheli very much, so they naturally wanted to ask Xie Xiaoqing, the master in Zhusheli, for advice. Seeing that they were sincere in seeking advice, Xie Xiaoqing also gave some advice.
Sometimes they would drink and eat in the tent, chat and laugh, and play for a while before leaving.It won't stay for too long, and I will go to the battlefield tomorrow.
The same goes for this day.
The teenagers did not shy away from Xie Xiaoqing while chatting. They drank goat's milk wine, and the topic gradually turned to Nalin, the eldest son of King Khan Menglu.Judging from the tone of the two friends in Zhushe, they were both from the nobility of the Naqin tribe, and they didn't respect Nalin very much.
Xie Xiaoqing's heart moved when he heard this, and after the two left, he asked Zhusheli: "Do you really want to replace Nalin? Have you forgotten that a Naqin tribe, or even the overlord of the entire Northern Plains, is not considered important to you?" on what?"
"I really want to replace Narin, my father Khan, so that they will regret that they underestimated me, and regretted taking my mother as a threat." Zhu Sheli smiled, with flames burning in his eyes, "You don't have to worry, I I know what's in my heart."
After all, he is young and vigorous, with a youthful heart.
Xie Xiaoqing shook his head and took his hand.The scene in front of them changed, and they were already in the high sky, with the boundless grassland shrouded in night below.The scene in front of him changed again. After crossing the mountains at the end of the grassland, we saw the prosperous cities and villages of Zhongzhou, and then the vast sea, and dotted islands...
"Do you still want to be trapped in the Naqin and do unnecessary fights?" Xie Xiaoqing asked.
Xie Xiaoqing still remembers how dazzled he was when Master showed him this scene at the beginning!Seeing the vast world spread out in front of you, no matter what you are fighting for, you will feel that it is just a fight for the corners of the snail.
Zhu Sheli was also fascinated by it.
But when he came back to his senses, he said: "Although the world is vast and boundless, I must first do the things in front of me well."
Xie Xiaoqing sighed softly and didn't force him anymore.
……
It seems that what Master wants to do can always be done, even after he is reincarnated.
Xie Xiaoqing was meditating in the tent, but he was a little restless.Four years passed in a flash, and Master really emerged on the battlefield as he said, and rose rapidly after the war. Opportunity quietly emptied his power.Everyone in the Naqin tribe called him the young master, and what he said was more effective than Meng Lu.
Not only that, he seems to want to be the overlord of the grassland...
Xie Xiaoqing naturally persuaded him, but he couldn't make him change his mind.Xie Xiaoqing didn't know what he wanted to do.
Has he really been bewildered by the secular power... Could it be that he won't be able to wake up until he is promoted to Jindan and recovers his memory?
But at this moment, it was not this matter that made Xie Xiaoqing uneasy.
At this time in the past, Zhu Sheli had finished dealing with the affairs of the Naqin Ministry and returned to him.He didn't let go of his practice. Every night after nightfall, he meditated beside Xie Xiaoqing and asked him for advice when he encountered any problems.
Xie Xiaoqing stared at that tall and handsome figure with his divine consciousness released.
"Young master, you're finally going to have sex today. We'll joke around later, so don't try to evade and say you don't understand anymore!"
Walking beside Zhusheli were his two good friends back then, and now they have become his most capable subordinates.
"That guy Nalin has finally come to his senses. If he counts on his father, he might as well show his affection to you, young master." The other laughed.
Hearing this, Zhu Sheli smiled slightly.
"Send me a woman, thanks to him who can figure it out."
"Young master, why are you so confused? You have reached the age where you can taste the taste of a man and a woman! Gu Zhun, after you taste it, you will also think that this gift is a good one." Don't forget about us after seeing the beauty, then we have to question Narin and pay back our wise young master."
"Lust|lust, am I that kind of person?" Zhu Sheli shook her head with a smile, "Who is it that still relies on flirting with the maid after discussing things with me?"
When they came to a secluded tent, two subordinates lifted the curtain for Zhusheli, and guarded outside, allowing Zhusheli to enter alone.
It was already night outside, and there were no candles lit inside the tent, and it was even darker.
A strong sweet scent permeated the quiet tent.
Taking a step forward in Zhusheli, he saw the graceful outline on the animal skin blanket and wrapped under the quilt.Just an outline is enough to attract people's imagination.
"Get up and let me see you clearly."
Zhu Sheli said calmly.
His words contained an indescribable majesty, which made the person wrapped in the quilt move and stood up obediently.The quilt slipped off her body, and she was not wearing anything.
The breathing in Zhushe stopped for a moment, as if he was stunned.
then--
She jumped into the bead house!
"Chong"
A crimson knife light streaked across the darkness.
The Zhushe slowly put the knife back into its sheath, the bright red knife was full of hot dark red flames, it looked like a magic knife.
The woman fell to the ground, her waist cut off with a knife.The dagger that shone with a faint blue light fell out from between her fingers.She should have practiced the art of assassination.
Zhu Sheli looked cold.
To find such an assassin, is it too contemptuous of him, thinking that he only knows how to shoot arrows, and the sword on his waist is just a decoration?Nalin also knew that he was practicing Taoism, but he still thought that this would be enough to deal with him.
They don't know the mystery of the law at all... After all, they are just watching the sky from a well.
Zhu Sheli lowered his hand from the handle of the knife.
For a moment, the figure of that person appeared.Always with a gentle smile, warm and firm palms, but hidden in the depths of the eyes is a year-round sadness.He has never seen that person make a full shot, but he also knows that he represents an unimaginably powerful force...
That's what he's looking for... How long will it take before he can get as powerful as that person?
Zhu Sheli clapped her hands, and the crisp clapping sounded in the darkness.
"Young master?" The subordinate who was waiting outside the tent broke in and was stunned when he saw the corpse on the ground.
"It was an assassin who was killed by me." Zhu Sheli said, "Unexpectedly, Nalin can't even handle such a trivial matter. You go and ask him who picked him for him, let him hand it over, and escort him to the police station tomorrow. I'm here."
"Yes." The two quickly recovered and agreed to leave.
It seems that the young master still intends to leave a step for Nalin, not to tear his face completely.
After confessing these few words, Zhu Sheli didn't turn around.The curtains were lowered, and darkness returned to the tent.He stood in the dark, looking down
Behind the fence of the racecourse, sitting or standing, crowds of people watching the race were crowded, and there was a dense scene at a glance, an unprecedented grand occasion.
Xie Xiaoqing was led to the wide platform that was set up. They sat not far from King Khan Menglu. The left and right sides were either royal families or important subordinates of Menglu.Others greeted Xie Xiaoqing, and he responded politely, but he didn't bother to get closer to them.
There are beautiful women singing and dancing in the arena. After singing and dancing, the horse race will officially begin.
Xie Xiaoqing soon saw his apprentice, he was wearing a snow-white riding outfit, although he was small, he still stood out among the crowd.There was no nervous expression on the little face like others, but instead looked around curiously with a little freshness.
Seeing Xie Xiaoqing from afar, he blinked at him and smiled.Xie Xiaoqing's heart softened, and the depression hidden in his heart seemed to have dissipated a lot.
As an opening, Menglu's seven sons and daughters competed in riding and archery in the first round, and the eldest son, Nalin, took the first place in both of them as expected.Meng Lu praised him without hesitation, and gave him a good horse on the spot.Xiaozhusheli's two items are average, but considering his age, they can be considered pretty good.
Xie Xiaoqing watched Xiaozhu Sheli get on the stage, ran towards him, and sat down beside him.He was gasping for breath, his little face was flushed, and there was a chill wrapped around his body.Xie Xiaoqing took him into his arms, covered his cold little hands, and poured him a bowl of steaming goat's milk.
Seeing him looking at the highland barley wine in front of him, he said gently: "You are still young, you are not allowed to drink." Grassland people love wine, even children are encouraged to drink it, but Xie Xiaoqing grew up in Zhongzhou and was taught not to drink it since childhood.
"Well, Tababu." Zhu Sheli responded, he was embraced by Xie Xiaoqing, and he was not as awkward as the first time, and leaned obediently in his arms.
The two watched the next match.The beef, mutton and pastries on the table in front of them all went into the cub's belly.After eating, I still felt that it was not enough, so I looked at the neighboring table eagerly.Seeing this, Xiaozhu Sheli turned her head and said something in Xie Xiaoqing's ear. Xie Xiaoqing glanced at him with a smile and replied, then waved her sleeves and flicked the plate that was emptied by the little wolf cub.
In an instant, there were a few more chunks of fragrant mutton on the plate, the little wolf cub's eyes lit up, and he began to eat bitterly again.
Not far away, a nobleman who grabbed a piece of mutton and was about to put it into his mouth was stunned. The gravy dripped from his fingers, but his hands were empty.
This comparison took until noon before the No. 1 in riding and archery was decided.
Meng Lu rewarded the two, looked at Xie Xiaoqing again, and said loudly: "We still have the most powerful warrior here, Tabibu from Zhushe, come and open everyone's eyes!"
Xie Xiaoqing hastily declined, but in the end the kindness was hard to turn down, even Zhushe looked at him expectantly, so he had no choice but to go forward and accept the long arrow and curved bow offered by Meng Lv's entourage.
When he came to the open space in front of the platform, the attendant covered his eyes with a black cloth.
According to his realm, it is actually the same to be blinded or not.
Xie Xiaoqing was concentrating on perception in his spiritual consciousness, and three wild geese tied with red silk flew over his head.He drew the bow, let go, and the feathered arrows flew away. There were three swishing sounds, and all the wild geese were hit by the arrows and fell down.
"Sure enough, he is worthy of being the number one warrior of my army!" Meng Luzhang applauded.Cheers erupted from the onlookers.
Xie Xiaoqing took off the black cloth blindfolded and smiled, showing no complacency.It was too easy for him to do this, so naturally he would not take the praise of others to heart.
"Tabib's arrow skills are really powerful." After returning to his seat, Zhu Sheli looked at him and said.
"When you learn Taoism, you can be so powerful." Xie Xiaoqing said.Neither of them paid any attention to Narin who was looking towards them.
Then there were tug-of-war, wrestling and other events. At sunset, the handymen removed the fence and placed many piles of bonfires in the field, with barbecues on the fire for people to sit around.Everyone on the stage also went down one after another, mixing among the civilians.
Not long after Xie Xiaoqing and Zhu Sheli sat down by the fire, a girl with beautiful eyebrows came over, holding a piece of pure white silk to give to Xie Xiaoqing, the "Prairie Warrior".Xie Xiaoqing had stayed in Beiyuan for a few years, knowing that this was a gift only given by the girls to the person they like, so naturally she would not accept it.
He had his master in his heart, so he couldn't tolerate others, but he didn't want to mention these things to others, so he just said euphemistically: "I'm a cultivator, I'm used to being pure-hearted and ascetic, and I don't understand the customs of the world." He refused and left with a sad expression.
As dusk gradually fell, many people danced among the fires, and some sang loudly, and the scene became more and more cheerful.
Xie Xiaoqing looked at Zhu Sheli, at first he was a little happy, but now he started to feel sleepy, his eyes gradually couldn't open.He hugged him, got up and said, "Let's go back and rest."
"Okay." Zhu Sheli replied in a daze.
Walking out of the racecourse, the noise of laughter was suddenly left behind.The camp of the Qin army was also quiet and empty.
Xie Xiaoqing looked at the pearl house in his arms again, feeling for a moment that there were only the two of them left in the world.
After so many years of entanglement, it is not easy to not become a stranger among all living beings.This cause and effect must be very deep...
Not far from the tent, the mastiff Batu rushed out to meet him, barking.The little wolf cub lazily climbed onto its back, let the mastiff carry it back to the tent, and then simply used the thick dog hair as a cushion, lay down and fell asleep.
After entering the tent, Xie Xiaoqing gently helped the dozing Zhusheli take off his coat, shoes and socks, and let him lie down.
"Tababu." Zhusheli suddenly called out, opened his eyes, and seemed to be a little sober.
"Sleep well, I have prepared a gift for you, you can find it under the blanket when you wake up tomorrow." Xie Xiaoqing said.
"Hmm!" Zhu Sheli was obviously aroused by his gift, and didn't want to wait until dawn, so he groped secretly on the animal skin blanket, trying to figure out where it was hidden.Xie Xiaoqing held down his flailing hand through the quilt.
"Not yet, only after a good night's sleep."
"Yes, Tababu." Zhu Sheli closed her eyes obediently.
After he fell asleep, Xie Xiaoqing began to practice meditation every day.He was a little restless, thinking of the night he and his master spent the New Year's Eve in Yangxi City Lord's Mansion many years ago...
The master also gave him several gifts, and he bought a pair of sword tassels for the master.It's just that the sword spike is no longer on the master.Before the master reincarnated, he wiped off the branding of the storage bag and gave it to him. Xie Xiaoqing checked it, and found that the Fentian sword was gone, and there was no trace of the apricot yellow silk ribbon tied to the hilt.
It would be a lie to say that he is not sad, but he has long been used to this loss.
The next morning, as soon as Zhu Sheli opened his eyes, he didn't even have time to put on his coat, so he reached out and groped under the blanket.When he found a small package, he happily dragged it out and opened it to look.
While he was flipping through his presents, the mastiff barked "Woof" and "Woof" towards the outside of the tent.
"Come in." Xie Xiaoqing had already "seen" the visitor in his spiritual consciousness, and said calmly.
It was Nalin who came. He ordered his entourage to wait outside the tent, walked in alone, and gave the mastiff a complicated look.The mastiff didn't bark at him anymore, but also took two steps back, avoiding him, and didn't come forward to make out.
"Mr. Xie, I want to continue to learn from you!" Nalin saluted Xie Xiaoqing.
Was it because he saw him shooting arrows blindfolded at the horse racing meeting, so did he have the idea of cultivating Taoism again?
Xie Xiaoqing said indifferently: "Cultivating Taoism requires patience. Three days of fishing and two days of drying nets is not enough." Nalin has already given up once in the middle, this time, will he not persist for a few days before leaving?
"I know I was wrong, this time I really made up my mind, and I will never give up halfway!" Nalin said.There was a firm look in his eyes.
Xie Xiaoqing looked at him carefully, then nodded and said: "Okay, you can practice again."
After that, Nalin really came every day to practice together with Zhu Sheli.He progressed very slowly, but he never complained.
Xie Xiaoqing patiently answered the questions of the two of them equally.
"I wonder if you would like to practice martial arts?" Xie Xiaoqing asked again after answering Nalin's question that day.With Nalin's aptitude, if there were no adventures, he would be able to cultivate to the foundation building. Maybe he should be allowed to learn martial arts and switch to martial arts. With his fitness and physical strength, he must be able to achieve something.
Xie Xiaoqing secretly sighed in his heart, he still didn't know how to adapt, and he didn't think of this until now.
Zhu Sheli, who was concentrating on meditation and exercise, suddenly opened his eyes and glanced at them.
Nalin was taken aback, and then said: "Does Tababu think that I am more suitable for martial arts? To be honest, I think so too, and I would like to learn from you!"
Seeing that he had a saber on his waist, Xie Xiaoqing taught him a saber technique from his memory.Nalin practiced with great interest this time, and Xie Xiaoqing also praised him for his talent.When the attendant came to call him, Nalin still refused to leave, and was urged again and again by the attendant, so he reluctantly withdrew his knife and left.
As soon as he left, Zhusheli woke up from the slumber, looking at Xie Xiaoqing with clear eyes.
"Do you have any questions?" Xie Xiaoqing sat down in front of him again.
Zhu She didn't speak, and looked away at the mastiff squatting aside.
"What's wrong with you?" Seeing that he seemed a little unhappy, Xie Xiaoqing grabbed his little hand and asked softly.
Xiaozhu Sheli still didn't speak, but quietly pulled out her hand.
"Are you angry with me? Why?" Xie Xiaoqing was puzzled.He couldn't guess what was going on in Zhushe, so he said: "Do you also want to practice martial arts? It is better to concentrate on cultivating Taoism. You are very talented in the Dao of Fire, and you will surely achieve great success if you practice hard."
"En." Zhu Sheli responded.Seemingly not wanting Xie Xiaoqing to continue questioning, he closed his eyes again and practiced.
Ever since he switched to martial arts, Nalin ran here whenever he had free time, practicing sword skills in the open space in front of the tent.Under Xie Xiaoqing's guidance, he used every move and every move, and soon he had a good look. Every knife had the sound of wind and thunder, and the momentum was astonishing.
In comparison, it is much quieter to meditate in the Zhushe in the tent.
On this day, after Nalin had practiced his sword skills, he called Zhusheli out again for the first time, and the two children walked into the secluded place, as if they wanted to say a few words that they didn't want others to hear.The agate string on Zhusheli's wrist was the defensive magic weapon Xie Xiaoqing gave him, and if he couldn't break through this defense, Xie Xiaoqing let them go without using his spiritual sense to spy.
After a while, little Zhu Sheli came back alone.
"What did you say?" Xie Xiaoqing asked.
Zhu Sheli shook his head and refused to answer, with a stubborn look in his eyes, when Xie Xiaoqing knelt down and continued to ask, he ran into the tent in a flash.
It was not until the next day that Xie Xiaoqing knew what the two children were discussing.
Early in the morning, Zhu Sheli asked his attendants to lead him to the racecourse, and even said fiercely to Xie Xiaoqing not to let him go with him.
Xie Xiaoqing stared blankly, watching him leave.With the scope of his spiritual consciousness, even if he is in the tent, he can clearly see what happened on the racecourse.
When they arrived at the racecourse, Nalin was already waiting there, leading a sleek horse with a sleek mane.
Zhu Sheli also went to lead a horse, not the pony he used to ride, but a bay red horse much taller than his own.
The two jumped on their horses at the same time and galloped away.
After a stick of incense, the two figures reappeared, one in front and the other in the back, actually biting tightly.
In Nalin's heart, he was indeed taken aback. He won the first place in the horse race meeting. Unexpectedly, the riding skills in Zhushe are not inferior to him!
In the blink of an eye, the end has come.
Zhu Sheli actually surpassed half a horse's body.His whole body was drenched in sweat, his mind relaxed at this moment, and he almost rolled off the horse.
Xie Xiaoqing appeared suddenly, grabbed the rein, and took him into his arms.
Zhu Sheli coughed badly, his body was weak, and he was fed with cold wind, coughing until his pale face was blushing.
Nalin also got off the horse, raised his hand to wipe the sweat from his forehead, and looked at the two of them with an expression of disbelief.
Xie Xiaoqing couldn't care less about others, the green spiritual power was revealed from the palm of his hand, and he stroked Zhusheli's chest.
After a while, the coughing gradually stopped, and the cold body in Xiaozhu's house warmed up.
"What are you guys comparing?" Xie Xiaoqing asked.Although he gave a spiritual object for self-defense to the Zhushe, the horse race just now still made him terrified.Although the bay red horse was a handsome horse, it was really difficult to control, and the Zhushe was too young, he almost fell off the horse several times!The rough reins also left deep marks on his tender palms, oozing blood.
Nalin looked at Zhu Sheli, his eyes were unwilling, but he was helpless, and said: "I underestimated him. If I win, I will go and beg Father Khan to let you move to my place so that I can ask for advice." , if he wants to learn Taoism, he will come to me to find you."
"But I lost, I have nothing to say."
After Nalin finished speaking, Xie Xiaoqing was taken aback, and looked down at the child in his arms.He immediately understood why Zhu Sheli was unhappy recently.There was a trace of tenderness in my heart.
"Are you still angry with me?" Xie Xiaoqing smiled, "I taught you to be friendly with others, as long as you are not an enemy, treat them with kindness. Nalin is your brother after all..."
Seeing Zhu Sheli bit his lip, he seemed to be even more unhappy, and hugged his arm tightly again, saying: "But you are my favorite apprentice and the most important person to me. It won't change. No one can take me from you."
After hearing this, Zhu Sheli raised his eyes again, and looked at the expression on his face.
"You're coaxing the kids again." He said coquettishly, but his little face couldn't hold back anymore, and he broke into a smile.
"I didn't coax you, even if you grow up, I would say the same."
"Um……"
Nestled in his arms, the long eyelashes covered the eyelids, as well-behaved as a snow-white and beautiful kitten, Xie Xiaoqing couldn't help teasing him: "If you lost just now, you were going to give me up Narin?"
"Then I will lend it to him for a few days first, and I will definitely snatch it back." Zhu Sheli said.
"Okay." Xie Xiaoqing smiled, "Even if I lose this time, you are so smart, you will definitely win next time. It seems that I don't have to worry about being loaned out for too long."
……
After a few years of brief peace, the Naqin tribe once again fought with a large tribe.Xie Xiaoqing and Zhu Sheli were able to stay out of the matter, but the time for Nalin to come to learn sword skills was getting shorter and shorter.
As early as when he entered the Naqin Ministry, Xie Xiaoqing declined Meng Lu's solicitation.At the beginning of the war, Meng Lu didn't look for him.
These days, there were heavy casualties on the battlefield, Meng Lu seemed unable to sit still, he sent someone to invite him first, and came in person after being declined.The heroic middle-aged leader stepped into the tent with a smell of gunpowder and blood all over his body.
Xie Xiaoqing had already guessed his reason for coming.
"King Khan's hospitality these days is in my heart, but I was hunted down and had to hide my whereabouts, but it was inconvenient to take action."
With his own strength, not to mention dealing with a tribe, even if he wants to overthrow the entire Northern Plains, he can do it.But Beiyuan is blocked by the cultivation world, no matter which monk, it is taboo to stir up troubles in Beiyuan.Although Xie Xiaoqing couldn't bear to see the casualties on both sides, he could also see that once he agreed to make a move, he could not withdraw until the Naqin tribe swept Beiyuan, which would only cause more killings.
Seeing that he was determined, Meng Lu took another look at the bead house standing quietly on the side, sighed and left.He still had a lot of urgent things to do, and it was not easy for him to come here.
"Is someone chasing and killing Tabib?" Zhusheli asked after Menglu left.In the past six years, his stature has increased a lot.He has already cultivated to the eighth level of Qi Refining, and his physique has improved a lot.The figure is not burly, but also slender and strong.
Although that Yinglong was seriously injured, he must still be alive, and he doesn't know when he will be found, but Xie Xiaoqing didn't want to tell him now, he just smiled and said: "You don't have to worry, that's just an excuse."
"I didn't help your father, what do you think?" Xie Xiaoqing asked again.
"Tabib is a cultivator, so he really shouldn't care about these things." Zhu Sheli said, "Father Khan wants to use the power of Tababu to unify the northern plains and enter the royal city, but the strength of the Qin tribe itself is not enough. Can Tabibu stay in the clan forever? Father Khan is also old, and Nalin is brave enough to plan, and can't keep the strong Naqin tribe. Once Tabibu leaves, the Qinbu will be stared at Unless all the men of those tribes are killed and the women are used as slaves—but even if Tabib takes action, he will definitely not allow such a thing, will he?"
"You're right." Xie Xiaoqing sighed softly, "I will take care of your father and family members, and I can't take care of other things. Let's cultivate the Tao with peace of mind."
A boy who is only 12 years old can say these words so quietly, and it seems to be commenting on someone who has nothing to do with him.
He is becoming more and more like a master.
"Yes. Tabib," Zhu Sheli suddenly asked again, with a slight smile, "Are you still unwilling to tell me about my past?"
"I'll tell you when you build the foundation." Xie Xiaoqing said softly.
Zhu Sheli's eyebrows and eyes are wide open, which is also very similar to his appearance in his previous life.His tone, attitude, expression... From no one knows when, he gradually has the shadow of "that person".Xie Xiaoqing was both missing and afraid of the shadow he saw on Zhu Sheli.
A few days ago, he accidentally blurted out "Master", and was chased by Zhushe and asked what it meant.
"You are calling me, is that also my name?" Zhu Sheli said, "I have dreamed of you since I was a child, and we have known each other a long time ago, right? There are legends of reincarnation on the grassland, and I know the Tao There is also a theory of predestined relationship."
He actually guessed the truth quite well.
Xie Xiaoqing didn't want him to know about his previous life too early, and he couldn't be too perfunctory, so he had to agree to wait for him to build the foundation.
Zhu Sheli has gradually grown up, and there are some things that cannot be kept secret.
Over the years, he not only let Zhu Sheli stay in the camp to practice, but also took him to many places.As a cultivator who transforms spirits, he can span thousands of miles in an instant.
They have been to the prosperous towns of Zhongzhou, to the plague-ridden villages to treat patients, to the battlefields full of wreckage in the afterglow of the setting sun, and to rescue passers-by who encountered monsters in the mountains...
In fact, Xie Xiaoqing didn't have confidence either. How much did Zhushe listen to what he wanted to teach?He had no previous experience raising children.But even if he can't change Master's nature, Xie Xiaoqing also hopes that he can at least be his cage, trap the evil beast in his body, and prevent him from harming others.
The war in the Naqin tribe continued for a long time, and in a rare peaceful corner of the camp, Zhu Sheli also successfully advanced to the foundation building stage.This is actually a remarkable event, but no one in the Naqin Department knew about it and came to congratulate it.But Xie Xiaoqing still attaches great importance to it, and prepared a whole set of magic weapons for him, including attack, defense, reconnaissance, and flight escape.
Zhu Sheli accepted them one by one.
Even the little wolf cub received a piece of its favorite high-grade demon rabbit meat.High-level monsters are rare, and most of them are low-level, so good meat can only be eaten sparingly.
After the master and apprentice celebrated, Zhusheli asked about his past.
Xie Xiaoqing had no choice but to tell him.Grandma Canghaidao told him part of Master's experience, and he himself participated in part, but the rest can only be skipped in his narration.
Naturally, Xie Xiaoqing also kept in his heart some things that he didn't want to say, and couldn't say.The relationship between him and his master is definitely not just an ordinary master and apprentice, at least not to him, but this love and hatred are hard to understand, and he didn't say it out loud.
When talking about it, Xie Xiaoqing didn't make any comments.After all, it is his master... Even if there is still resentment in his heart, he still has respect in his heart.
Zhu Sheli lowered her head and listened quietly.When talking about his death at the hands of Master, Xie Xiaoqing couldn't help but pause.He wanted to see the expression on Zhu Sheli's face clearly, but Zhu Sheli was only slightly stunned, his eyelids drooped, covering the emotions in his eyes.
"So that's how I used to be." Zhu Sheli said after listening.
He thought for a while, and then said: "His behavior...does make sense."
"If it were you, would you do the same?" Xie Xiaoqing's heart sank.
Zhu Sheli smiled, but did not answer this sentence.But the young man then said: "You don't want me to become like in my previous life, do you? I can't promise you, but..." He stretched out his hand to touch Xie Xiaoqing's dejected eyebrows and said, "At least I can use my demons I swear, unless you do something to me first, I won't hurt you again."
His hands were warm and soft, with the cleansing breath of fire.
In an instant, many memories poured into Xie Xiaoqing's mind... After those illusions dissipated, what appeared were the clear and flawless eyes in the pearl house.
Xie Xiaoqing gently held his hand.
"Now that's what you think, when you recover your memory, you may regret that you made this oath to me."
"If it were me before, I probably wouldn't say that, but I have been reincarnated, and 'he' gave me the opportunity to make a decision with confidence, and my decision is 'his' decision... Even if the memory is restored , how could I regret it?" Zhu Sheli said.
"I..." Xie Xiaoqing stared at him for a long time, and finally smiled, "Actually, as long as you don't force me, how can I bear to do anything to you?"
Now it seems that the enmity between him and his master is hard to avenge.After all, he couldn't be ruthless. The master also taught him kindly and saved his life in danger.But the wrong things Master has done and the lives he has killed are not things that he can expose all at once.
Since we want to stay with the master, we must bear it for him and urge him to redeem the crimes he committed.
A few days later, in the early morning, Zhusheli went to pay his respects to his father Khan Menglu as a routine, but this time, he didn't come back after a long time.
When he was about to leave, Xie Xiaoqing had a feeling in his heart, and released his consciousness to spy quietly.
In the luxurious king's tent, Meng Lu said to Zhu Sheli who was kneeling in front of him: "You have learned Taoism so far, what achievements have you made? Nalin said that you have learned Taoism very quickly. Like your Tabibu Can you shoot arrows blindfolded?"
"Go back to Father Khan, think about it."
"Okay." Meng Lu nodded, "You are 12 years old, and you are not young anymore. In my Qin royal family, there are young heroes who can go to battle and kill the enemy after the age of nine. Your brothers have already gone to the battlefield. Go with them. Don't forget that you are my son, Meng Lu, and win more glory for your mother!"
Xie Xiaoqing, who was spying with his divine sense, frowned slightly, and after a lucky escape, he appeared in the king's tent.
But Zhu Sheli replied without hesitation: "Yes, Father Khan." But Xie Xiaoqing had no time to refuse for him.
"Little brother, do you also want to come and serve our clan?" Meng Lu was not surprised when he saw him suddenly appear, but smiled instead.
"I have seen King Khan." Xie Xiaoqing saluted him respectfully, but did not answer directly.
Meng Lu wanted Zhu Sheli to join the battle, probably to force him to make a move.But Meng Lu didn't know that even if he didn't do this, Xie Xiaoqing would have been taking care of his life long ago.
The attendant led the Zhushe out of the king's tent, and when he came back a while later, he had already changed into a snow-silver armor and a scarlet cloak, and the shiny luster reflected his delicate eyebrows and eyes with a bit of awe-inspiring look.
Seeing his appearance, Meng Lu nodded and asked Zhu Sheli to follow him out of the king's tent.
Xie Xiaoqing also followed.
He grabbed Zhu Sheli's hand, looked at him questioningly, and heard Zhu Sheli's voice transmission: "I have to go, mother has something to hold in Father Khan's hands."
"You are a foundation-builder, so casual weapons can't hurt you, but you have to be careful. There are very few monks in Beiyuan, but there are many martial arts masters. If there is an accident, I will protect you." Xie Xiaoqing knew that the matter was irreversible, so he had to ask road.
"Well, don't worry."
Zhu Sheli looked calm.
Xie Xiaoqing was in a complicated mood, it turned out that Zhu Sheli already knew about it.The mother in the Zhushe and a servant who took care of her were a little unclear, and I thought it was this matter.
Following Menglu to the front of the formation, Zhu Sheli got on his horse.An attendant also brought him a horse, and Xie Xiaoqing waved his hand.
He saw with his own eyes the figure in the red cloak flying in the pearl house, thrown into the billowing smoke and dust rolled up by countless horseshoes.
In the tent, the heavy armor was put aside, and Xie Xiaoqing guided the restless flames in his body for Zhushe, and said softly: "You are too tired, go to sleep."
"Okay." Zhu Sheli was not embarrassed, and fell asleep in his arms.
Every day after leaving the battlefield, Zhu Sheli would still return to their tent and continue to practice.
He has reached the foundation building stage, and he no longer needs to sleep, but it is quite exhausting to consume his physical strength for a few days.Xie Xiaoqing knew that he had gradually gained fame on the battlefield, and his arrows were flawless, and his momentum was intimidating. He once shot through the head of an enemy general.
But what is the use of these false names in Zhushe?On the contrary, it slowed down his practice progress.
After ventilating the breath in his body, Xie Xiaoqing did not hug the sleeping Zhusheli back to the blanket to sleep, but took off his coat and gently covered him.
……
"Hahaha Qing Geer, you have done a great job today, when are you going to treat me?"
"This glass of wine is indispensable for you!"
The laughter of the teenagers floated in from outside the tent.Xie Xiaoqing knew that Zhu Sheli had returned, and brought with him the two new friends he met on the battlefield, both of whom were extremely outstanding fighters of the Naqin tribe.
Xie Xiaoqing was quite pleased that he could make more friends.
Zhu Sheli would bring them here from time to time, and Xie Xiaoqing would heal their new wounds that day.The two young men admired the arrow skills in Zhusheli very much, so they naturally wanted to ask Xie Xiaoqing, the master in Zhusheli, for advice. Seeing that they were sincere in seeking advice, Xie Xiaoqing also gave some advice.
Sometimes they would drink and eat in the tent, chat and laugh, and play for a while before leaving.It won't stay for too long, and I will go to the battlefield tomorrow.
The same goes for this day.
The teenagers did not shy away from Xie Xiaoqing while chatting. They drank goat's milk wine, and the topic gradually turned to Nalin, the eldest son of King Khan Menglu.Judging from the tone of the two friends in Zhushe, they were both from the nobility of the Naqin tribe, and they didn't respect Nalin very much.
Xie Xiaoqing's heart moved when he heard this, and after the two left, he asked Zhusheli: "Do you really want to replace Nalin? Have you forgotten that a Naqin tribe, or even the overlord of the entire Northern Plains, is not considered important to you?" on what?"
"I really want to replace Narin, my father Khan, so that they will regret that they underestimated me, and regretted taking my mother as a threat." Zhu Sheli smiled, with flames burning in his eyes, "You don't have to worry, I I know what's in my heart."
After all, he is young and vigorous, with a youthful heart.
Xie Xiaoqing shook his head and took his hand.The scene in front of them changed, and they were already in the high sky, with the boundless grassland shrouded in night below.The scene in front of him changed again. After crossing the mountains at the end of the grassland, we saw the prosperous cities and villages of Zhongzhou, and then the vast sea, and dotted islands...
"Do you still want to be trapped in the Naqin and do unnecessary fights?" Xie Xiaoqing asked.
Xie Xiaoqing still remembers how dazzled he was when Master showed him this scene at the beginning!Seeing the vast world spread out in front of you, no matter what you are fighting for, you will feel that it is just a fight for the corners of the snail.
Zhu Sheli was also fascinated by it.
But when he came back to his senses, he said: "Although the world is vast and boundless, I must first do the things in front of me well."
Xie Xiaoqing sighed softly and didn't force him anymore.
……
It seems that what Master wants to do can always be done, even after he is reincarnated.
Xie Xiaoqing was meditating in the tent, but he was a little restless.Four years passed in a flash, and Master really emerged on the battlefield as he said, and rose rapidly after the war. Opportunity quietly emptied his power.Everyone in the Naqin tribe called him the young master, and what he said was more effective than Meng Lu.
Not only that, he seems to want to be the overlord of the grassland...
Xie Xiaoqing naturally persuaded him, but he couldn't make him change his mind.Xie Xiaoqing didn't know what he wanted to do.
Has he really been bewildered by the secular power... Could it be that he won't be able to wake up until he is promoted to Jindan and recovers his memory?
But at this moment, it was not this matter that made Xie Xiaoqing uneasy.
At this time in the past, Zhu Sheli had finished dealing with the affairs of the Naqin Ministry and returned to him.He didn't let go of his practice. Every night after nightfall, he meditated beside Xie Xiaoqing and asked him for advice when he encountered any problems.
Xie Xiaoqing stared at that tall and handsome figure with his divine consciousness released.
"Young master, you're finally going to have sex today. We'll joke around later, so don't try to evade and say you don't understand anymore!"
Walking beside Zhusheli were his two good friends back then, and now they have become his most capable subordinates.
"That guy Nalin has finally come to his senses. If he counts on his father, he might as well show his affection to you, young master." The other laughed.
Hearing this, Zhu Sheli smiled slightly.
"Send me a woman, thanks to him who can figure it out."
"Young master, why are you so confused? You have reached the age where you can taste the taste of a man and a woman! Gu Zhun, after you taste it, you will also think that this gift is a good one." Don't forget about us after seeing the beauty, then we have to question Narin and pay back our wise young master."
"Lust|lust, am I that kind of person?" Zhu Sheli shook her head with a smile, "Who is it that still relies on flirting with the maid after discussing things with me?"
When they came to a secluded tent, two subordinates lifted the curtain for Zhusheli, and guarded outside, allowing Zhusheli to enter alone.
It was already night outside, and there were no candles lit inside the tent, and it was even darker.
A strong sweet scent permeated the quiet tent.
Taking a step forward in Zhusheli, he saw the graceful outline on the animal skin blanket and wrapped under the quilt.Just an outline is enough to attract people's imagination.
"Get up and let me see you clearly."
Zhu Sheli said calmly.
His words contained an indescribable majesty, which made the person wrapped in the quilt move and stood up obediently.The quilt slipped off her body, and she was not wearing anything.
The breathing in Zhushe stopped for a moment, as if he was stunned.
then--
She jumped into the bead house!
"Chong"
A crimson knife light streaked across the darkness.
The Zhushe slowly put the knife back into its sheath, the bright red knife was full of hot dark red flames, it looked like a magic knife.
The woman fell to the ground, her waist cut off with a knife.The dagger that shone with a faint blue light fell out from between her fingers.She should have practiced the art of assassination.
Zhu Sheli looked cold.
To find such an assassin, is it too contemptuous of him, thinking that he only knows how to shoot arrows, and the sword on his waist is just a decoration?Nalin also knew that he was practicing Taoism, but he still thought that this would be enough to deal with him.
They don't know the mystery of the law at all... After all, they are just watching the sky from a well.
Zhu Sheli lowered his hand from the handle of the knife.
For a moment, the figure of that person appeared.Always with a gentle smile, warm and firm palms, but hidden in the depths of the eyes is a year-round sadness.He has never seen that person make a full shot, but he also knows that he represents an unimaginably powerful force...
That's what he's looking for... How long will it take before he can get as powerful as that person?
Zhu Sheli clapped her hands, and the crisp clapping sounded in the darkness.
"Young master?" The subordinate who was waiting outside the tent broke in and was stunned when he saw the corpse on the ground.
"It was an assassin who was killed by me." Zhu Sheli said, "Unexpectedly, Nalin can't even handle such a trivial matter. You go and ask him who picked him for him, let him hand it over, and escort him to the police station tomorrow. I'm here."
"Yes." The two quickly recovered and agreed to leave.
It seems that the young master still intends to leave a step for Nalin, not to tear his face completely.
After confessing these few words, Zhu Sheli didn't turn around.The curtains were lowered, and darkness returned to the tent.He stood in the dark, looking down
