beg for chivalry

"Fifth brother, why are you so dazed... Fifth brother!"

Zuo Sanniang's voice was calling him, so Jin Wu came back to his senses.There are no assassins watching him coldly like jackdaws, and there is no Zuo Buzheng's mysterious, seemingly sweet and terrifying smile.He was sitting on the bench, everyone in the shed had dispersed, only him and Sanniang were left.

Sanniang leaned very close, her eyelashes fluttering like a feather fan on his face, tickling him.Jin Wu stared at Sanniang for a while, and suddenly saw the shadow of Zuo Buzheng in her eyebrows, so he couldn't help trembling in his heart, and stretched out his hand to push the girl away.

But he suddenly felt embarrassed again, and the words stuck in his throat, "I..." The black-clothed Rakshasa, who had always been decisive in killing, seemed a little at a loss at this moment, like a bewildered child.

Sanniang saw that he was preoccupied, and forced a smile on her face, saying: "I finished distributing the medicinal soup. After standing here for a day, my bones are sore and numb. Let's go out for a walk. I haven't visited all the streets of Haijin yet... "

In fact, she has become so familiar with this place that she can walk back to Tongle Temple freely with her eyes closed.

Jin Wu nodded slightly. "Yeah." Then he stood up unsteadily.

The two of them were walking on Matou East Street, and the clothing stalls were spread all the way. The thick and fine cotton clothes were placed on the stalls.A few white horses came along Kuan Street, and sitting on them were a few sons and daughters, gold saddles and jade le, brocade clothes and robes, flying dust all the way.

The others saw it and pointed out: "It's the young masters of the Tao family." "Today, the daughter of the Tao family is getting married, how far is the red makeup shop?"

Before the words were finished, crowds of people gathered in the distance, and drums were blowing to shake the sky. The top of the camphor sedan chair was exposed in the crowd, and the red velvet curtains fluttered in the wind.

Sanniang's eyes lit up, she turned her head and called Jin Wudao: "Fifth brother, I want to go and see!"

The black-clothed Rakshasa was a hundred feet away from her, dawdling behind and refusing to come up.Sanniang waved and yelled to no avail, so she angrily turned back to lead him. "What's the matter? Why are you shrinking back like a slow turtle?"

Jin Wu silently looked at those young men who were arrogant and flirtatious, with golden stirrups embroidered on their heads, their spirits were high, and their brows were full of contentment, and they were speechless for a while.He lowered his head to look at himself. There were a few cuts on the black short shirt, which were slightly mended with thick needles. It was plain and simple;

He stared at his hand again, it was pale and bony, with thick calluses left over from holding a sword, and a long dark red scar running across the palm of his hand.Old Ghost Qian of Zhongzhou stabbed at his heart with his sword. He pressed the back of his hand firmly, but the point of the sword protruded out of his bone.These hands are used to holding swords, handling hidden weapons, and killing people.

Jin Wu suddenly felt ashamed of himself.When the young masters of the Tao family raised golden goblets, plucked tin zithers, and picked up beautiful concubines, he rolled around in the pile of corpses, drenched in arrows, raised blood blades, and beheaded people.There are ugly and mottled scars all over his body, and the smell of blood can't be washed away, like an evil ghost who is incompatible with the world.

Sanniang looked at the galloping young men, and said with a smile, "Oh, Fifth Brother, if you were a rich young man, you would be able to take a walk outside like this."

"...It used to be like this." Jin Wu murmured.

Sanniang didn't hear clearly, she looked at him in a blink of an eye, "Huh?" Jin Wu already withdrew his hands, broke free from her, turned his head and said. "Go away, the farther away from me the better."

The girl frowned and stared at him for a moment, the satin shoes took a step forward, and Jin Wu also took a step back.She walked forward angrily, and Jin Wu retreated silently.Finally she couldn't bear it anymore, grabbed his wrist and said, "What's wrong with you? I'm not a tiger or wolf, but a weak woman, can this make you back down again and again?"

Jin Wu looked at her, his face extremely pale.He remembered Zuo Buzheng's threat to him that night, and said. "If you get close to me again, you will die unexpectedly."

"Did you have poison on your body, or did you have thorns all over your body?" Sanniang was puzzled, "How did you die? Why don't I just stand right in front of you now?"

"You will die." He lowered his eyes, "You will be killed by Zuo Buzheng."

"Really. Sister, is she going to kill me?" The girl looked a little calm instead, as if she had anticipated Yasha's murderous intentions.She asked, "When is it going to be killed? The next quarter of an hour, tomorrow, or next month, next year?"

Jin Wudao: "Ten years later." If he can't kill all the top fighters in the arena in these ten years, Zuo Sanniang will definitely die at the wrong hand of Zuo, she has become Hou Tianlou's chains to restrain him.

"That's still a long way off, isn't it?" Sanniang stuck out her tongue, "I still have ten years to live, and you have a lifetime to live. I've suffered from Yangshou, so you have to rely on me even more." Wherever I am going, you are not allowed to miss a step; I tell you to take any medicine, you are not allowed to shirk."

Jin Wu seemed a little dazed, "Aren't you afraid of death? Aren't you afraid of not being right?"

Sanniang asked back: "Then are you afraid?"

The black-clothed Raksha was silent for a while, and finally squeezed out a word between his teeth: "Afraid."

For four years and more than a thousand days, he spent the whole time in the shadow of dealing with leftist injustice.Yasha's ten fingers are like knives, and he once pierced his body mercilessly, and also tore the flesh and blood of those close to him.He has never defeated that person once, but he will be defeated every time.

The sound of festive suona and drums approached, and congratulatory heads poured from all around.Amidst the noise, Sanniang looked at him with a smile, a faint blush appeared on her face. "But I'm not afraid. Fifth brother, as long as you are by my side for a day, there is nothing to be afraid of in this world."

Jin Wu was slightly absent-minded, his eyes trembling. "... Even if I am not Zuo Buzheng's opponent at all... you are not afraid?"

It was rare for him to show his weakness, Zuo Sanniang didn't laugh and scold him for being useless like in the past, but said softly. "Don't be afraid. The world is unpredictable, and fate is unpredictable. There are still ten years left. According to your ability, fifth brother, even the sky can be lifted to see. I know, you have been working so hard these days, is it because of me? Sister to Wu The people in the League have been jealous for a long time, and they must have told you to kill the people on the Jianghu list. Who did she ask you to kill?"

"Everyone." Jin Wudao, "Not one of the top ten in Jianghu."

"Are you sure?"

"How can you be sure?" But Jin Wu said, "It's precisely because Zuo Buzheng thinks I can't do it that he asks me so."

Ten years, whether it is long or not, is not necessarily short.It's just that it's a bit embarrassing to climb to the top ten positions in the Jianghu rankings within ten years.Jin Wu, who had fought against the monk who broke the precepts, knew that this matter was as difficult as reaching the sky. He was very shallow in the rivers and lakes, and his martial arts were very different from those of them.

Sanniang turned her head to look at the slightly moving sedan chair with red curtains, her eyes filled with envy.She thought that the woman in the sedan chair must be Fengguan Xiapei, and with tenderness for her good son-in-law in her heart, she was both uneasy and happy on the lacquered rattan chair.She murmured: "Ten years...by then I should be a married woman." She rolled her eyes, then hugged Jin Wu's arm, pulled him over and blew in her ear, "Fifth brother, if I You didn't die then, how about you marry me?"

Her voice is so sweet and waxy that anyone's heart will melt a bit after hearing it.When this little girl grows up, she will be graceful and graceful, like Chang'e in the moon, and Xizi in the world.

But Jin Wu said: "No." So he shook off her hand and walked to the bluestone stake where the horse was tied.

Zuo Sanniang trotted all the way to keep up with him, her brows were raised upside down: "Why?"

At this moment the noise was approaching.But I saw silk tassels flying in front of my eyes, fiery red canopy lanterns flickering to open the way ahead, and lions made of bamboo strips and colored paper danced with the crowd.Jin Wu walked through the hustle and bustle, went to the cloud pattern pillar and took the reins and got on the horse. Sanniang grabbed the mane and climbed onto the bay red horse's back, sticking behind him and said relentlessly, "I let you see what's wrong with me." Not eye-catching?"

"Everywhere is fine."

"You hurt people... Huh," Sanniang was just about to scold him, but she suddenly said happily, "You praise me? How can you use your sharp mouth and sharp teeth to praise others?"

They rushed to Yuyang West Street, and the crowd gradually thinned out.There is a piece of golden ginkgo beside the road, and when the autumn wind blows, it looks like a sea of ​​clouds.The yellow leaves were like rain, falling on the horse's back little by little.The mountains in the distance stretch bright red and are as warm as fire. Although the autumn wind is cool, Sanniang's heart is hot.

There was a burst of fragrance in the wind, and the girl turned her head to look, and saw that the shop was uncovered, and the white chrysanthemum-like buns were cute and gratifying.The hot jujube cake, snow-white nuts, and Linglong siu mai are placed in the shop, which is really beautiful.Suddenly, she remembered the night when she and Jin Wu were in Haijin, and it turned out that everything was over.From now on, she will no longer be the Zuo Sanniang who can play with him, and he will no longer be Jin Wu who lets her go, but has a hint of a smile in his eyes.

She put her arms around Jin Wu's waist, and pressed against his back quietly, listening to the constant beating of the man's heart.The scenery of Haijin disappeared like water before her eyes, at this moment she suddenly heard Jin Wudao.

"...If I marry you, you will be a widow in a few years."

Sanniang raised her head: "Bah, crow's mouth, what are you talking about!"

Jin Wu held the rein and said in a low voice. "It's the truth."

It is hard for him to survive until now, he lives on the tip of the knife every day, and has long since cared about the lives of others.He has always felt that love should not be taken lightly, and a Houtianlou assassin like him who does not know when he will die and whose life is cheap, really dare not let others down.

He sometimes thought, what would Zuo Sanniang do if he died?Will Yasha let her go?But he can easily think of his own way of death, maybe he will die in the next moment, or tomorrow, next month, or next year.He lived every day as if he had lived his whole life.

Sanniang blinked, suddenly feeling a little sore in her heart. "So you don't want me?"

"Yes."

"Hey, fifth brother. Although you were born with a sleepy eye, who else would want this kind of temperament besides me." Although she was sore in her heart, she smiled coquettishly and hugged him tightly.

"Nothing is the best." Jin Wu said.

"Then how do you want to fall in love with me? What kind of woman do you like, I will become that kind of woman." Sanniang still did not give up, hugging him and shaking vigorously.

Seeing that he was about to fall off his horse, Jin Wu was silent for a moment, and said. "...No. [-] in the world."

Sanniang was surprised: "Huh?"

Jin Wu said: "When you become number one in the world, I will like you."

If you ask this question to others, you will definitely get some answers in terms of appearance, temperament and temperament.Some people want to be fat, swallows and thin, others like to be gentle and pleasant, but this kid is vague, and he has some requirements for martial arts.

Sanniang naturally felt that this request was unreasonable, and it was as difficult as heaven for her, so she blamed him for deliberately embarrassing herself, frowned and said: "Unexpectedly, fifth brother, you don't like beautiful women, but you like strong people. Sigh, don't you think so?" It's because of me, a weak woman with no power to restrain a chicken, that you make things difficult for me."

"Not really," he said.

Zuo Sanniang stretched her neck to look at him, but saw a faint smile on his face.This smile is like a soft willow brushing against the clear water, creating tiny ripples.It is clear that autumn is chilling, but it is as gentle as spring.

"In this way..." Jin Wu looked towards the distant sky, his lonely eyes reflected the clear blue sky.There is a pair of geese shadows in the sky, in pairs, spreading their wings and flying.

he said softly. "...Even if you stay by my side, you won't die."
