When Xie Luohe deliberately pulled down his long hair and said the three words "Brother Zheng" with Fengbei's expression and tone. Lan
Zheng Xiu didn't feel any emotion in his heart.
Even a little want to laugh.
At this moment, Xie Luohe and Zheng Xiu were working hard, jumping repeatedly between "Xie Luohe" and "Fengbei", as if they were trying to prove something.
"OK."
Zheng Xiu readily agreed.
When he was the richest man, he always took his family members to stroll around the imperial city with great style.
Now that he was a "poor scholar", he didn't choose whether it was Feng Bei or Xie Luo He who stood in front of him. Lan
However, Zheng Xiu sighed secretly in his heart. Since Xie Luohe accepted the setting that "I may be Feng Bei but I can never be Feng Bei", his performance along the way made Zheng Xiu understand that he must put this "cognition" into perspective. A complete turnaround is by no means an easy task.
Maybe some strong medicine will be given.
Xiao Tao was listening secretly against the door in the next room. When she heard that the eldest lady seemed to be inviting the young master to go shopping, she immediately opened the door and eagerly said that she wanted to go and help the young master and the young lady carry some things.
Before Zheng Xiu could agree, Xie Luohe immediately said: "No, Xiaotao, just have a good rest in your room and wait for us to come back."
Xiao Tao was dumbfounded on the spot.
"Walk."
Xie Luohe didn't talk nonsense and took Zheng Xiu shopping, leaving Xiao Tao alone. Lan
Xieluohe seems to be really just for shopping and walking around. The streets were not very lively, but Xieluohe walked slowly and enjoyed it.
When passing by the blacksmith shop, Xie Luohe went in specifically to check the progress of the horseshoes. The blacksmith was very skilled and seemed to be forging in a hurry. He could start as early as tomorrow morning.
People were coming and going on the street. Zheng Xiu was waving his fan and carrying a bamboo basket, following behind Xie Luohe. After about half an hour of shopping, when Xie Luohe said he wanted to go back to the inn, Zheng Xiu accidentally saw a shop selling Zhihu masks, and his eyes lit up.
"Send it to you." Zheng Xiu picked a pair from left to right and pretended to be calm and gave it to Xie Luohe.
Xie Luohe took the mask, made some gestures on his face, and then asked the store for a string in front of Zheng Xiu, stringing the mask around his waist. Yingying turned around in front of Zheng Xiu, looked back and said with a smile: "looks good?"
Zheng Xiu's expression was startled.
Seeing Zheng Xiu dumbfounded and silent, Xie Luohe smiled even more, lowered his head and muttered: "It seems like something is missing." Lan
Xie Luohe closed his eyes and said, "I am missing a waist card."
When he opened it again, the smile on Xie Luohe's face instantly turned into indifference: "A waist badge engraved with 'Shang Xian San, Feng Bei'."
"Would you like the blacksmith to make a similar piece for you?"
Xie Luohe took a few steps closer, only two steps away from Zheng Xiu.
"What do you think? Gongsun Mo."
At this moment, Zheng Xiu looked at Xie Luohe's clear eyes.
The two of them stood on the street where people were coming and going. Lan
For a moment, the people and things around him, Zheng Xiu and Xie Luohe seemed to be in two completely different time and spaces.
Extraordinarily quiet.
Zheng Xiu said calmly: "If you don't like it, forget it."
Xie Luohe suddenly put on a happy expression again: "No, she likes it. Go back."
The surroundings returned to hustle and bustle, with Xie Luohe walking in front, his back facing him.
Zheng Xiu looked at Xie Luohe's back and the mask hanging around her waist. He clearly felt something called "distance" from Xie Luohe's body.
He could also detect an emotion called "angry" from Xie Luohe's reaction just now. Lan
Xie Luohe said nothing more along the way.
A night of silence.
The next day.
There was nothing strange on Xie Luohe's face, and Xiao Tao brought hot water and towels to the two of them to wash and change clothes as usual.
Xiaoyun and Xiaoliu put on new horseshoes, and the three of them rode horses separately and left the town.
The mask around Xie Luohe's waist swayed slightly as the horse's hooves kicked.
"Sir, have you made the eldest lady angry?" Lan
Although Xie Luohe didn't behave strangely in front of Xiaotao, Xiaotao noticed that there was something different between the young master and the young lady.
"Maybe, who knows."
After leaving the town, the three of them continued north along the avenue.
Zheng Xiu still painted a picture for Xie Luohe every day.
Xie Luohe, as usual, took advantage of Xiaotao's absence and reached out to Zheng Xiu to ask for her paintings.
She always wanted to see how Zheng Xiu painted herself.
Xiao Xie is becoming more and more unpredictable. Lan
At first Zheng Xiu thought Xie Luohe was being arrogant.
But later on, Zheng Xiu vaguely realized that she was angry.
But Zheng Xiu couldn't figure out why Xiao Xie was angry.
The fact that he wants to transform Xie Luohe back to Fengbei has been put on the table, which is equivalent to playing a bright card.
】
You are so angry.
Zheng Xiu was quite dissatisfied but did not dare to mention it.
In this weird "threesome", they finally arrived at the foot of Hidden Sword Mountain at the end of February. Lan
Zheng Xiu vaguely remembered this landmark, but in later generations, this place was not called Hidden Sword Mountain, and there was no Hidden Sword Villa on it.
Two hundred years later, there is only an ordinary mountain left here.
It is indeed dangerous for a man and two women to travel together.
What's more, Xie Luohe and Xiao Tao's good looks attracted many wild bees, butterflies, and wild men in the countryside.
Along the way, the three of them encountered sixteen robberies and entered eight illegal shops.
Every time he encounters these bad things, Zheng Xiu can always see three parts of annoyance, three parts of regret, and three parts of anger in the other person's eyes before he dies, as well as a trace of deeply hidden jealousy.
This is much more chaotic than later generations, and it is worthy of the world. Lan
Alas~ Jianghu.
At first, Xiao Tao was not used to these beatings and killings, and only thought they were cruel.
Later, I got used to it just by looking at it. Of course, it would be better to say numb.
Even one night, Xiao Tao turned over in her sleep, mumbling in her sleep.
She said things like "Miss Xiaotao wants to go home", "Young master doesn't want to" and so on, and I don't know what kind of mess she was dreaming about.
There is a small town at the foot of Zangjian Mountain. As the first day of March approaches, there are many people with swords and swords in the town.
However, most of these people in the world were invited to accept the invitation from the hero. Even if they have other agendas, they will not interfere with the official business as the first day of March approaches. Lan
"what's your plan?"
February twenty-nine.
The three of them were sitting in a corner of the restaurant, waiting for their meals.
Xie Luohe held his chin in boredom, looking at the green shoots emerging from the dry willow tree outside the window with half-empty eyes.
These days, Zheng Xiu and Xie Luohe have an awkward relationship and rarely talk to each other. Two days later it would be the first day of March, Zheng Xiu asked at the risk of being laughed at by Xie Luohe.
Xie Luohe smiled and looked away from the willow buds, and asked, "What do you think?"
Xie Luohe's attitude suddenly gave Zheng Xiu the illusion that when he was a child, two children were playing a game of "whoever speaks first loses". Lan
Xie Luohe smiled happily, with a bit of pride hidden in his eyes.
It was as if Zheng Xiu took the initiative to speak. This small step was a big step in the gamble. She Xie Luohe achieved a huge victory in this stage.
Secretly complaining in his heart, Zheng Xiu looked around.
There were a lot of people in the hotel wearing strange clothes, and all of them with fierce looks on their faces were obviously not easy people to deal with. From time to time, someone turns their attention here.
Zheng Xiu felt the strange looks from around him, reached out under the table and patted Xiao Tao's thigh in a friendly manner, signaling Xiao Tao not to be nervous. But this shot seemed to trigger a switch in Xiaotao, and she shook even more.
nervous.
Martial arts people will be very conspicuous in the market. But the martial arts conference is about to come, and they are surrounded by martial arts people. On the contrary, the temperament of Zheng Xiu and Xiao Tao is incompatible with the surroundings, and they are particularly eye-catching. Lan
"what you think?"
Xie Luohe asked back.
Zheng Xiu: "Participate in the martial arts competition honestly and easily get into the top ten with your ability. Then you and the other nine people gather around Grandpa's calligraphy in a happy atmosphere and discuss the secrets and symbols hidden in the scroll. After leaving the location of Gong Nie’s treasure house, we all have dinner together, get up the next day, and invite each other to go together as a team to download the dungeon..."
The more Zheng Xiu spoke, the more outrageous he became. In the end, under Xie Luohe's teasing and curious gaze as to what "downloading" meant, Zheng Xiu could not help but say, "Well, I really don't believe that your character, Xie Luohe, would be so honest. Please, thank you." Miss, please thank the boss, thank the big bandit, thank my aunt, please give me a thorough explanation first, do you want to rob me forcefully?"
In fact, Zheng Xiu guessed on the way here that Xie Luohe probably wanted to wait until the Four Seasons Picture appeared and grab it directly. But for Xiao Tao's sake, he left Xie Luohe some room when he spoke.
"you guessed wrong."
Xie Luohe raised an index finger and waved it left and right in front of Zheng Xiu's eyes: "I will participate in the martial arts competition." Lan
"Well, do you have any plans for a forced robbery... Well, what did you just say?" Zheng Xiu thought he heard wrongly.
Xiao Tao thought that the young master really didn't hear clearly, so she kindly repeated what the young lady said: "The young lady said that she will go to the martial arts competition."
"you sure?"
The word "disbelief" was written on Zheng Xiu's face.
Believe it or not.
"Of course." Xie Luohe affirmed.
"What about us?" Lan
"You will know when the day comes." Xie Luohe answered mysteriously.
Zheng Xiu was helpless. He always felt that Xie Luohe, as the bandit leader of Yunhe Village, would not be her if he did not rob her.
Wait patiently until the first day of March.
Early in the morning, before dawn, a long arrow shot through the bed board above Zheng Xiu's head with a clang, waking Zheng Xiu up on time like an alarm clock.
Zheng Xiu had long been accustomed to the mysterious Xie Luohe shooting arrows everywhere, so he got up and got dressed. Before he could walk out of the room, Xie Luohe broke the latch with a palm across the door and sneaked in secretly.
Zheng Xiu was just about to say that it was not good to be alone and alone, but Xie Luohe didn't give Zheng Xiu a chance to complain and dropped a gold-plated invitation on Zheng Xiu's bed.
It’s a hero post. Lan
"I will go up the mountain first, and you and Xiao Tao will go together later. If you see me after going up the mountain, just pretend that you don't know me."
Zheng Xiu opened his mouth.
Xie Luohe stepped forward and neatly smoothed Zheng Xiu's clothes as gently as a little daughter-in-law.
Zheng Xiu was frightened by Xie Luohe's sudden movement. She didn't dare to move for fear of moving, so she took out her bow and arrows and shot them randomly.
"Look, Feng Bei won't do this to you, I will." Xie Luohe winked at Zheng Xiu playfully, patted Zheng Xiu's collar, and said: "With your intelligence, I don't need to say more, I believe you can see You'll know after reading the hero post. Just go up boldly, don't worry. As for the martial arts conference, I think it's better for you not to participate."
After Xie Luohe finished speaking to himself, he took off the mask Zheng Xiu gave him from his waist and put it on his face.
This morning's Xieluo River was like a gust of wind, coming and going even more quickly. Lan
Zheng Xiu picked up the "Hero's Letter" from the bed in confusion. When he turned to the back, he realized that this letter was not the one Xie Luohe had shown him before.
This invitation has not melted its ink and has not yet been opened.
Turning back to the front, Zheng Xiu was immediately dumbfounded by the "Recipient" column on the cover, and he completely understood Xie Luohe's plan.
"Xiao Buping???"
…
Before dawn, knights from all walks of life walked out of their respective places carrying various weapons on their backs.
Since ancient times, the sword has been the king of weapons and has always been loved by many martial arts people. Therefore, most knights carry long swords on their backs. Some have a pair of swords, or three swords, and some outrageous ones even carry a whole sword box on their backs. The densely packed hilt of the sword on the sword box was exposed, and it already showed a murderous aura before it was unsheathed. Lan
Some carry hammers on their backs, some have soft swords hidden at their waists, some carry long spears, and some have a pair of iron hooks. There were all kinds of weapons, not to mention eighteen kinds of weapons. Zheng Xiuguang saw no less than thirty kinds of weapons all the way up the mountain. Some weapons have long been ignored by later generations, which was an eye-opener.
The martial arts conference invited by Dugu Xiang, the owner of the Hidden Sword Villa and known as the "No. 1 Sword in the World", invited martial arts people to participate. It can be said to be a grand event where all the heroes have gathered in the past twenty years. For every young generation who aspires to make a name for themselves in the world, this is a rare opportunity to become famous in twenty years. Before even going up the mountain, many people were already secretly competing and competing.
"Hahaha——Brother Gu, take the first step!"
With a loud laugh, a knight in white clothes galloped up the mountain with his hands behind his back, as if walking on flat ground, and in the blink of an eye there was only an afterimage left.
"Brother Ximen, don't worry, brother, I will go with you to prevent you from doing nothing and being lonely on the mountain!"
Another shadow was panting slightly. It was a middle-aged man in a gray gown. His sleeves were swinging rapidly, using this force to make a harsh "papa" sound. The pace was quite mysterious.
As more and more knights went up the mountain, acquaintances occasionally met, and competition began. Lan
First, they competed for clothes, style, and qualifications, and soon they started competing for their qinggong.
No one wants to lose to others in a row.
More and more people felt the wind at their feet and passed by Zheng Xiu and Xiao Tao.
Many people, gritting their teeth and sweating while practicing Qinggong, noticed this poor scholar in simple clothes and carrying a bamboo basket on his back.
The scholar was carrying a bamboo basket with rows of scrolls inserted in it. He was holding a beautiful girl beside him. His manner was out of place with the other knights.
Rather than saying that this person came to participate in a martial arts competition, it would be better to say that he came to take the scroll for an outing.
Many people passed by and cast curious and probing glances at Zheng Xiu and Xiao Tao. Lan
But even so, no one took the initiative to cause trouble. At such a grand event, there are many people with false reputations, but there are even more people who deliberately hide their clumsiness. They would rather believe that Zheng Xiu is the latter type, and will not come forward to cause trouble just because Xiaotao is fresh and beautiful. .
Isn't this embarrassing in front of the entire martial arts world?
"Master, are we..." Xiao Tao walked step by step. When she reached the mountainside, she was already dripping with sweat. She panted slightly and said, "Walk too slowly?"
"Don't panic, take your time." Zheng Xiu smiled slightly and opened the fan gracefully.
rub.
There are four cool and unrestrained Chinese characters written on the fan - "Freedom in the World".
hiss! Lan
Some were passing by, some were following behind, or some were walking in front. Many knights who were observing in secret followed the sound of Zheng Xiu shaking open the folding fan. Some of them secretly poked and took a breath of cold air.
"It turns out to be him!"
"It's that beast!"
"There is a legend in the world that this wolf doesn't like yellow flowers and only picks out women!"
"That iron fan, and the girl next to him, must be the iron fan beast Xiao Buping, there is no mistake!"
"But there are rumors in the world that he only likes women. Looking at the girl next to him, it's clear..."
"What do you know! What can't that beast Xiao Buping do? Besides, if a girl is kidnapped before the wedding night, and she is both a yellow flower and a woman, wouldn't it be even more..." Lan
"Brother Tian is brilliant!"
"Where there!"
The knights passing by whispered to each other and looked at the scholar with a bit of disdain.
