Listen to the king's order

"Brother Hua, what are you doing here at Buxu Mountain?" Mrs. Zhou put the last towel into Hua Wudao's hand, and pulled a bench to sit beside him.

Hua Wudao wiped the towel gently on the ends of her hair persistently, and said happily: "Hey, don't mention it. Isn't it the rainy season recently? It's windy and snowy on Mount Voga, so we can't stay here! No, I heard that the scenery of Buxu Mountain is unique, so we brothers and I went down the mountain for a stroll. Coincidentally, it rained non-stop just as soon as we arrived here. Our two little brothers are not good at work. It's wilted. The master told me before going out, you can't freeze these two little ones. That's why I came to your house!"

What Hua Wudao said, one point is true and nine points are false.At the end, Shu Chen and Fu Sheng had no face to listen any more, and turned their backs angrily.

Sister-in-law Zhou: "Oh, the immortal is really kind-hearted. Don't worry, these two little brothers will take good care of you, and I promise to bring you back alive and kicking!"

At noon, Mrs. Zhou cooked a table of meals. The villagers in the mountains were not rich, and the enthusiastic peasant woman even took out the bacon from the bottom of the box.

Mrs. Zhou looked at the handsome young man with a smiling face, and put a big piece of bacon into Lu Ming's bowl: "This little guy hasn't talked much since he entered the door, but think Mrs. Zhou's place is too shabby? "

Lu Ming obviously didn't expect Mrs. Zhou to talk to him suddenly. He has a withdrawn personality and seldom gets close to others.

Mrs. Zhou, he was too embarrassed to keep a straight face.Just like that, Lu Ming's usual stern face became a little more cramped.He waved to Mrs. Zhou: "No." Then he picked up the bacon in the bowl with his chopsticks and stuffed it into his mouth.

Hua Wudao poured himself a bowl of broth unceremoniously, smoothed things over and said, "Hey, Mrs. Zhou, don't mind. He just has such a temper, he doesn't like to talk."

"Oh, when I look at this little brother, I think of my son. If he hadn't left, he would be about the same age now. He also doesn't like to talk, and he sits alone in the room for a whole day." Mrs. Zhou Her eyes passed through Lu Ming, and she seemed to see her deceased son in him. She looked a little sad, and her eyes, which were smiling just now, suddenly filled with water.

Lu Ming chewed half of a piece of meat in his mouth, and stopped there abruptly: "I..."

"Little brother, don't mind, I'm just...alone...a bit lonely..." Mrs. Zhou turned her back, sniffed at a place where they couldn't see, and wiped her face.Turning around again, it was the enthusiastic village woman again: "By the way, are you going to go to Mount Buxu? I have a heartfelt request..."

Lan Xi put down the chopsticks in his hand and said seriously: "Please tell me."

"It's not that my guy has gone hunting in the mountains for several days, and I don't know when he will come back. I just thought, if you can meet each other when you go up the mountain, tell him something for me, and tell him to come back earlier. It’s okay, it’s okay to have more wild goods and less wild goods.”

Lan Xi replied with a smile: "Okay, but, I don't know if there are any characteristics on the eldest brother? We can tell the difference."

"Yes, yes!" Seeing that Lan Xi agreed, Mrs. Zhou rolled her eyes with a smile, and took out a lanyard from her collar, with an animal fang tied to it: "This is the first time my son has grown up. The prey’s teeth, one for me and one for the child’s father, are hung around the neck, and they will never be taken off.”

Lan Xi: "It's so good. If we can meet each other, we will help you bring the message."

The rain finally stopped sparsely in the afternoon.

Lan Xi and his party said goodbye to Mrs. Zhou politely. Before they had traveled far, Mrs. Zhou's call came from behind.

"Hey, little brother Hua, little brother Lan!"

Lan Xi stopped at the sound, only to see Mrs. Zhou chasing her out with a small gray bag.She stuffed the bag into Lan Xi's hands, with a smile on her simple and honest face: "I almost forgot about this, you take the freshly made cakes with you to eat on the road."

Lan Xi lifted the gray cloth, and there was a layer of fried yellow and crispy pancakes on the palm of his hand. The pancakes were still hot, apparently not long after they came out of the oven.

Hua Wudao suppressed the cynicism on his face, and said with a bit of emotion: "Sister-in-law Zhou, thank you so much."

Saying goodbye to Mrs. Zhou again, Shuchen took the small gray cloth bag from Lan Xi, tied it carefully, and carried it on his body, as if he had acquired some treasure.

Seeing Shuchen walking all the way without saying a word, Fu Sheng tugged at the corner of his clothes: "Shuchen, what's wrong with you?"

Shuchen shook his head, his gaze was far away, and there was an indescribable expression on his childish face.

"Shuchen must be homesick." Lu Ming's cold voice came from behind. He always likes to walk last.

Shuchen looked back at Lu Ming, and he found that Lu Ming's face was still as cold as a knife, his dark eyes looked at the road ahead, and there was no peripheral vision left for Shuchen, or even his voice. Still as indifferent as ever.But Shuchen felt that this always indifferent brother Lu was melting the ice in his heart little by little.

"Well. I have been away from home for eight years. I don't know how my parents are doing."

Lu Ming's gaze gradually moved up, seeing the gray sky, he thought, it's great, there is still a home.

There were rustling footsteps beside him, and Lu Ming was taken aback for a moment, only to realize that this time he was not walking alone at the end, and Lan Xi was beside him. At this moment, that person looked at him with unscrupulous eyes .

Lan Xiyue quietly stretched out her hand under the white wide-sleeved robe, and squeezed Lu Ming's tightly.It was very similar to that day when Jiang Qichen held eight-year-old Lu Ming in the forest of Buxu Mountain.

"Stupid boy, if you miss home, go back and have a look. You Kunlun faction aren't that unkind, are you? Won't you go home?"

Later, Hua Wudao and Shuchen talked back and forth, but Lu Ming couldn't hear them.

He stiffened his body, feeling the warmth of Lan Xi's palm.Lan Xi shook Lu Ming's hand and squeezed it hard.He wanted to tell Lu Ming,

It's not that he has no relatives, no home, he still has him.

Jiangfu is his home, and he is his relative, half of his adoptive father.

Lu Ming felt that the bite mark on his wrist became unseasonably hot again. The heat quickly spread from the tendons in his hand to his limbs and bones. The blood boiled instantly, and finally rushed to his heart.At that moment, Lu Ming's eyes went dark.

He tried his best to keep calm and broke free from Lan Xi's grasp.The rosy face just now was quickly covered by paleness, and there was a black and evil color between the brows.

The air was looming, and in a flash it was gone.

"Lu Ming?" Lan Xi sensed that something was wrong with the person beside him, and frowned slightly as he looked at his instantly pale face: "What's wrong with you?"

Lu Ming adjusted his breath secretly, but did not respond.He felt that the two forces in his body were colliding with each other unscrupulously. Finally, the moment before Lan Xi held his wrist, his internal force defeated the evil energy, and the blood in his whole body instantly calmed down.

The pulse of Lan Xi's subordinates was normal, even stronger than that of ordinary people.He was still a little worried, and reached out to brush the hair hanging on Lu Ming's face, trying to see it more clearly, but Lu Ming walked sideways.

Lu Ming withdrew his hand calmly, and the paleness on his face gradually faded.He knew that Lan Xi couldn't find anything, and he didn't know how to explain it, so he said nonchalantly: "I'm fine." Then, without giving Lan Xi a chance to ask questions, he walked to the front of the team three steps at a time.

"Hey, Lu Ming, why are you here?" When Hua Wudao saw Lu Ming, he stuck to it like a plaster. As usual, he stretched out his hand to climb Lu Ming's shoulder and was ready to be thrown away by him.

But after waiting for a long time, Lu Ming, who was held in his arms, was completely unresponsive for the first time.Hua Wudao put his face in front of Lu Ming, and put his free hand on Lu Ming's forehead.

I'm not sick...

"What are you doing?" Lu Ming slapped Hua Wudao's hand on his forehead with a slap.

"I don't think you're quite right. It's rare that you didn't shake it today..." Before Hua Wudao could finish his sentence, his arm was pulled off Lu Ming's shoulder. The harmless face was just there.

Lan Xi walked between Lu Ming and Hua Wudao, separated the two, and said respectfully, "Brother, the Buxu River is right in front of you."

Hua Wudao glanced at his mouth, forcibly resisted the urge to roll his eyes, and said teasingly, "Yes, it's almost there. Junior brother Lan Xi, why didn't you come here when you ran away?"

"The fog in the mountains and forests is thick, and Lan Xi is afraid that senior brother will not be able to see clearly when he is old. After thinking about it, I should go ahead and you go to the rear."

"Who do you say is getting old?!"

Hua Wudao jumped up immediately, rolled up his sleeves and was about to swing at Lan Xi's face, but was stopped by the latter: "Senior brother doesn't like to listen, Lan Xi just doesn't say anything in the future, why do you want to make a move? Master You know, I'm going to be unhappy again."

"I must fight with you today!" Hua Wudao grabbed Lan Xi's arm with his backhand and dragged him to the side: "Whatever sword technique you use, Kunlun, Luosheng or Tianyanzong, you give me come over!"

Shu Chen and Fu Sheng looked at each other, thinking that Brother Hua must be out of breath.Brother Lan Xi is a member of the Tianyan sect, how can he know Kunlun swordsmanship and Luosheng swordsmanship?

Lu Ming saw that Hua Wudao was getting more and more outrageous, and finally couldn't help going up to stop the two of them: "Stop making trouble."

Hua Wudao: "Lu Ming, it's none of your business here, just stay by your side."

Seeing that Hua Wudao refused to let go, Lu Ming turned his attention to Lan Xi.Lan Xi had no expression on his face, but there was an evil fire in his heart, and without looking at him, he flicked off Lu Ming's hand on their arms with a flick of his sleeve, and said to Hua Wudao: "Since senior brother wants to be with me so much Let's learn, then come."

As he said that, at a speed beyond the reach of the scholar, he pulled the saber from his waist and threw it to Hua Wudao with his backhand.

The two of them jumped into the air one by one, drew their long swords out of their sheaths, and drew two streaks of silver light in the gloomy forest.

Whether it is Hua Wudao or Lan Xi, they all use the authentic Tianyan sect swordsmanship.The vertical and horizontal sword energy flew up the green leaves in the forest, and every move was powerful or as clear as water.The sword intent scattered, and the brilliance flowed.The two of you come and go, they fight like hell, for a moment they are indistinguishable.

Shuchen and Fusheng watched this "discussion" which can be called live teaching, wishing to have a few more pairs of eyes to memorize all their moves.

Seeing that the persuasion was fruitless, Lu Ming found a clean stone and sat down.Although Hua Wudao is not used to seriousness, he still has a sense of proportion in the face of major events.Not to mention Lan Xi, he has always kept his sense of proportion in his hands.The two looked at each other disliked, and were angry in their hearts, but they also knew that it was time to stop, so Lu Ming let them go.

For a long time, the two of them were playing happily, and they didn't seem to stop at all.Suddenly a gust of wind passed through the forest, and Lu Ming turned his head vigilantly, seeing green trees and weeds half a person's height in sight.

He stood up, pulled out Yinshuang from his waist, and Yinshuang turned a flute into a sword in his hands.With a cold face, Lu Ming looked at the jungle in front of him with cold eyes, and took two steps back slightly to block Shuchen and Fusheng who were watching the excitement.

In mid-air, Hua Wudao and Lan Xi's swords collided, making a "squeaky" sound, but suddenly both stopped their hands.The two frowned, looked vigilantly at the grass in front of Lu Ming, and fell from the sky.

"Why don't you guys stop fighting? The winner hasn't been decided yet!" Floating business was still unfinished.

"Hush." ​​Lan Xi put his index finger on his lips and whispered, "Something is coming."
