The gentleman hides the front [Comprehensive]

Chapter 13.The bright moon does not return to Shen Bihai.

The proprietress who dragged herself away and lived in the tavern in the desert for many years... What happened in the end?Hu Tiehua looked at the moonlight in the sky, but sighed deeply.

When they mentioned this woman, they always said "she held Hu Tiehua back", but Hu Tiehua realized later, why didn't he hold her back?How many such "many years" can a woman have in her life?Looking back and thinking about it again, why didn't I live up to it?

What Hu Tiehua didn't tell Ye Qige was that this tavern on the edge of the desert was the one where he lived for many years.Not long after he left, there was a horse thief here, and no one in the entire tavern survived.But the current one was sold by another widowed woman and reopened.

The ending of the story tends to be cruel. For this kind of fledgling young man, it is better to leave her a little bit of good imagination.Hu Tiehua staggered towards her room, muttering to herself while walking: "Ask if you regret it, ask if you regret it? The old man doesn't ask each other, even if he regrets who?"

If time goes back to the day when his best friend asked him for help, Hu Tiehua will still choose to go with his friend.Therefore, he has no regrets, but he still has guilt and regret in his heart.

Ye Qige's drinking capacity still needs to be exercised, and she drank together with Hu Tiehua and became dizzy. She slept surprisingly well that night.Before going to bed, she was still silently calculating the time and days in her heart. Probably, the letter she sent to Ah Jiu in the capital this month should arrive soon, and the letter to her brother sent at the beginning of the month should also arrive. Bar.

Compared with Gong Jiu's ten-page reply, Ye Gucheng's reply to Ye Qiege is always much shorter.He rarely told his sister about the troubles in Baiyun City, but he would repeatedly tell her to be careful in everything, to pay attention to safety, and to contact the hidden stake in Baiyun City if there was anything, and not to force her.

Although the words were short, Ye Qige also felt very heartwarming.Once upon a time, when she was traveling around the rivers and lakes when she was young and sent word to her family to tell her she was safe, her master would also write down a few words, such instructions.

The slender figure holding the sword and looking at the flowers came from a dream, and Ye Qiege turned over on the somewhat hard but clean bed in the inn, muttering "Master".The girl's drunken face was hazy, her small body was buried in the bed, and even her sleeping position looked young and innocent.

And her muttering was finally blown away by the night wind, and it became something in her heart that she dared to mention only after she was drunk.

Early the next morning, when Ye Qiege woke up, the drunkenness on her face had completely faded away, and she turned over to wash up neatly, without being affected by the hangover at all.With the help of the clear water in the copper basin, Ye Qiege checked his appearance, only to find that there was still a little redness on his cheeks, and he felt that he was not losing his composure.So she raised her two swords and walked downstairs.

There were still few people in the hall, the proprietress and a few guys were having breakfast.Seeing Ye Qiege come down, the proprietress served her a bowl of hot and spicy soup very attentively. For people after a hangover, this bowl of steaming hot soup is very sour and spicy.

It is different from any spicy soup that Ye Qiage has had before. The bowl stewed by the proprietress is filled with chopped sheep tripe, simmered with thick spices to make it crispy, and the pepper is sprinkled just before it comes out of the pot. Powder and balsamic vinegar, one sip, can force people to sweat, but the whole body is comfortable.

Ye Qiege bowed his head to drink the soup, and the proprietress handed her a plate full of honey oil fruits.This is a kind of pastry that is mixed with flour and eggs, fried, and drizzled with honey before serving. People living in the desert regard it as a staple food.Because of heavy oil and sugar, it is very filling and easy to carry and store, so it is almost a necessity in the desert.

For Ye Qige, although she lived by the sweet West Lake in her previous life, and grew up in the South China Sea where fruits can be eaten in this life, such honey oil fruit is indeed too sweet for her.It seems that she has just gone through the period of changing teeth that she would rather die, Ye Qige still cherishes her white teeth very much, so she just tastes the staple food that can make teeth sweet.

Looking around, I can't see the figure of Brother Hu from yesterday.Ye Qiege couldn't help asking the proprietress: "Sister, where's Brother Hu?"

The proprietress chewed a piece of fruit, and said casually: "This man got up early, maybe he should go out to practice boxing now? What is the young master going to do today? Do you need my servant to accompany you?"

Ye Qiege listened intently, and sure enough, he heard the sound of footsteps and clothes rubbing against the wind outside the door. With a slight smile, Ye Qiege said, "Don't dare to bother my sister, I'm going to go to the iron mine in the city today." After turning around, I will ask my sister to show me the way later."

Such a handsome young man seriously asked for a small matter, the proprietress giggled, of course she didn't refuse.Immediately, she stopped eating, dropped the chopsticks in her hand, went behind the counter to find a pen and paper, and drew out the route to the newly mined iron mine for Ye Qiege in detail.

Ye Qige thanked him repeatedly, and after finishing his breakfast, he took the map drawn by the proprietress and went out with his two swords on his back.

The reason why fine iron ore is precious is that this kind of iron ore has fewer impurities and is easier to calcine.Therefore, every time a refined iron ore is produced, it will attract the attention of many forging people.However, Ye Qige also understands that iron ore that can be calcined well does not mean that it can forge good weapons, and she needs to read it carefully before talking about the specifics.

Ye Qige's purpose this time is to forge swords for himself and his brother, so whether the iron ore is suitable or not is the most important thing.Ye Qiege, whose forging technique has won the affirmation of the owner of Hidden Sword Villa, naturally understands that she may return empty-handed this time.

However, even if it is really not suitable at all, it is enough to have what you have seen and gained along the way.

With such a good attitude, Ye Qiege walked for about half noon according to the map given by the proprietress, and finally arrived at the entrance of the iron mine he was mining.

When he reached the edge of the iron mine, Ye Qige suddenly understood the reason why the iron ore here was not circulated - the entire ore producing area was heavily guarded by people, and it seemed that all the mined ore was going to be transported to the same place .The entire iron mine seems to have an owner, and the owner doesn't want others to come to share a piece of the pie.

Ye Qige stood on the outskirts of the iron mine for a while, carefully observing the private soldiers guarding the iron mine.They wore uniform brown clothes, and there was nothing particularly worth repeating.However, on the banners planted around the iron mine, the words "Western Demon Cult" carry an undisguised arrogance.

Western magic.

Ye Qiege watched these four words quietly, recalling that this was what Ah Jiu told her, the biggest force entrenched in the desert.This Western Demon Cult has lived in the desert for generations and has never set foot in the Central Plains.It was originally a sect with a long history, and after going through vicissitudes, it was once dim, but after this leader Yu Luocha came to power, the power of the Western Demon Cult expanded rapidly, annexing many small forces around it, and now it seems to be the true overlord of the desert. .

Looking around, Ye Qiege found that the martial arts of these guards were not high, and she could sweep away a large area of ​​Wushan with a single stroke of wind.But she was born in Hidden Sword Villa since she was a child, and the word "gentleman is like the wind" has been infiltrated into her bone marrow. If Ye Qiege is asked to do those robbery acts and steal others' things, then she really still can't do it.

Just as she was hesitating and not knowing what to do, a black shadow quickly passed by her.That person's lightness kung fu is extremely handsome, and his speed is unimaginably fast.

Even with Ye Qiege's eyesight, he couldn't see the movement of the person coming.Only at the moment when he brushed against her, the light iron smell emanating from that black figure clearly told Ye Qige that this person was a swordsman.

Moreover, it was a sword that killed people at that time.That is to say, compared with the coolness of iron that Ye Qige was familiar with, the bloody smell on the sword had faded to nothingness.But in front of a forging expert like Ye Qige, there are traces of a sword's past and present life even if it is just a glimpse.

The black shadow's kung fu is very good, and the speed is fast enough, but after all, it is a place guarded by heavy soldiers. After a while, Ye Qige heard the sound of blades facing each other inside, and then, it was the man in black Some hurried backs.Fortunately, the expulsion of the miners meant more than pursuit. After confirming that the man in black had been driven away, they stopped chasing him.

As if watching a farce, Ye Qiege shook his head and chuckled, and followed the shallow bloodstains on the ground that hadn't been covered by yellow sand, all the way to the direction where the man in black was escaping.

The bloodstain broke off not too far away, but Ye Qige still found the man in black who was panting in the sand nest.

That person didn't wear a face scarf, but only wore a black dress that became very conspicuous during the day, and with a sword in his hand, he broke into the place guarded by a big sect like the Western Demon Cult. Ye Qige shook his head, he didn't know Should I praise him for saying that a newborn calf is not afraid of tigers, or should I mock him for being too big and almost folding himself in?

However, they are all meeting by chance, and these two ways of treating them may not be very suitable.

Therefore, Ye Qige stepped up and walked to the sand nest.Standing still for a while, Ye Qiege raised his voice, "This... this strong man, do you need help?"

I really don't know how to describe this man's "feat". At this moment, Ye Qige feels that the word "strong man" is the most suitable for him.Out of this mentality, Ye Qige called that black shadow a strong man.

When the people in the sand nest heard the sound of footsteps, they already tensed up their muscles and fell into a state of alert.But now Ye Qige walked to the side of the sandy nest where he was temporarily resting and hiding, Ye Qige could even hear the crackling sound of the sword body and hilt when he drew his sword.

Ye Qige stopped and did not move forward.Seeing that the black shadow didn't reply for a long time, she thought for a while, then threw the wound medicine in her hand into the hole, and said: "Then I'll give you the medicine, you can use it yourself."

Then, Ye Qige turned around and wanted to leave.

But he didn't want to, at this time, a fourteen or fifteen-year-old boy in black staggered out of the sand nest.
