Konoha Aogen
Chapter 52: Ridiculous things
On the day Ye Xuan and his party set off from "Kurong City", a shocking secret suddenly emerged in the old capital "Cangcheng". Compared with "Kurong City", "Jingyue City" is closer to "Cang City". However, the three of them rarely interacted with people along the way, but they only found out after returning to the city.
Gui Mo was very excited after hearing this, but Ye Xuan felt in a trance for a moment. He couldn't figure out if this rumor was true, would it be considered a big deal or a small matter? Does it have any impact on your plans? Should you stay away, or should you actively approach and try to gain some benefits? The last thought disappeared in a flash. Of course it was better to avoid such bad things.
Gu Changqing promised to attend the "Sword Conference". Ye Xuan wrote a letter immediately after returning to the city and invited all the prominent figures who could speak. Those forces in the south who had actually or pretended to help him during the "return to retrieve the treasure" also sent letters. There was also "Qiu Shimai," the "Xixia Fairy" who seemed to others to have a grudge against "Kurong City" but actually had no real grudge. He also tried to invite her. Although I didn't expect her to come, I at least showed some kindness.
However, among all the invitation letters, Ye Xuan deliberately left out the "Cangcheng Chamber of Commerce".
"Cangcheng" and "Kurong City" are far apart, and he has no personal friendship with any of the leading figures in "Cangcheng". Only the "City Lord's Mansion" and the "Cangcheng Chamber of Commerce" exchange routine and false documents. When the camel team returned north, the "Cangcheng Chamber of Commerce" gave a gift, and the hypocrisy of the two cities became closer after that. If "that thing" hadn't happened, I would have planned to invite them all this time.
Worked until late at night and slept until sunrise. Ye Xuan and Mu Qing'er, who had not yet gotten up, were awakened by the rapid ringing of the rope bell. Han Xing avoided Ye Xuan's confused and confused eyes and told him coldly: "Wu Fu and Wu Lu are here."
"What are they doing here?" Ye Xuan asked in confusion.
"The 'City Lord's Mansion' reported to the 'Night Palace'. The Imperial Guard reported to me and didn't say anything more." Han Xing replied expressionlessly.
After returning to the city for more than a month, Ye Xuan had almost forgotten the rumor as he was still stuck in the tedious preparations for the "Sword Conference".
At this moment, he felt very regretful: "I didn't make any preparation for what might happen. How could I be so arrogant? How could I be so frivolous as to equate 'don't want to get involved' with 'it has nothing to do with me'? The afterimage is here again." What to do? Sigh... It would be nice if there were more people who could help me think about things."
"Go to the 'Mowen Tower' and ask the residual image to wait for me in the 'City Lord's Study' immediately. No matter what she is doing, even if something happens on the 'fifth floor', you will break in for me!"
"Yes, young master." Han Xing bowed his head and accepted the order, quickly walking out of the "Qingyuan".
"Is this... serious?" Mu Qing'er put on a milky white velvet nightgown and approached Ye Xuan who was standing at the door.
Ye Xuan closed the door, took a deep breath, and quickly organized his thoughts: "If it is handled properly, it will not be dangerous. Freshen up."
The two of them washed their faces and changed their clothes. Ye Xuan stood behind the wide dressing table, and together with Mu Qing'er, she combed her long strands that were messed up by her sleep. Mu Qing'er doesn't wear any makeup or jewelry, and her only makeup is her black waterfall-like hair.
After about a cup of tea, two slender figures in plain clothes with black swords and black clothes with gray knives walked quickly out of the "Qingyuan".
"I'm really sorry for keeping you two brothers Wu waiting for so long! I'm Ye Xuan, this is my senior sister Mu Qing'er." Ye Xuan walked into the guest room on the first floor of the "City Lord's Mansion", apologized first, and then greeted her again.
"Hello, gentlemen." Mu Qing'er saluted Ye Xuan.
"Wu Fu and Wu Lu have met Mr. Ye and Mr. Mu. It is extremely rude for my two brothers to disturb each other without writing to each other. I hope you will be lenient and forgive me!" The Wu brothers said, One person faced another person, bowing to the ground.
Ye Xuan hurriedly bent down and reached out to help: "Brother Wu, what are you doing!"
Mu Qing'er was really fed up with this situation, but she had no choice but to follow Ye Xuan's example and reach out to help the thin man in front of her who called herself "Wu Lu".
Ye Xuan noticed that the two of them were not holding their respective swords in their hands when saluting, and the two long swords were not placed on the square table beside them, but were leaning far away in the corner. This unnecessary respect between warriors made him feel more affectionate towards the "Wu brothers". The two wooden swords placed side by side next to the two long swords also gave Ye Xuan a more definite guess about the two men's intentions.
After some polite remarks, looking at the two men in front of him who were "dressed in white scarves, black boots, and light silver belts," a word came to Ye Xuan's mind: sickly scholar. At the same time, he recalled another scene: it was the afterimage of a man dressed as a man in "Tairan City".
Wu Fu and Wu Lu have the same face, body shape, and clothing. The only difference is that the man who calls himself "Wu Fu" has two short beards on his lips that are not very thick, or that are just sparse and neat. His stubble looks very inconsistent with his own bearing.
"Brothers Wu, please come to the study to talk in detail." After politely looking at the two of them for a moment, Ye Xuan led the "Wu brothers" to the study on the second floor.
When the four of them entered, the afterimage was already waiting for them in the room. Five teacups were placed on the low table next to the fireplace. There were originally eight soft chairs here, but now only five were left. The other three were moved to her unknown location. This time, Afterimage was determined to "take a seat" and would never stand beside Ye Xuan like the last time he talked with "Lu Jin and his son".
When the "Wu brothers" met with Yiying, the respect they showed to her was almost the same as when they faced Mu and Ye, the two family heads. This made Yiying feel quite proud and at a loss. In terms of status, the two of them are guests of the young master and Sister Qing'er after all. It is appropriate for him to appear more respectful than the other party. However, these two people have bent their waists to such an extent that they cannot kneel down...
"Brother Wu, you're welcome, please take a seat." Ye Xuan also felt that the courtesy of "Brother Wu" was a bit too much. He saw the embarrassment of the afterimage, stretched out his hand to lead the two of them to sit down, and freed her.
Afterimage quickly filled the five teacups on the low table one after another and stood by them obediently. After the four of them sat down, they pretended to lean forward and move Ye Xuan's teacup, and then slid into the chair themselves.
Seeing the ingenuity of Afterimage, Ye Xuan felt funny in his heart, but in an instant he felt resentful. He always felt that between himself and Afterimage, at least one person should have expected that the "Wu Brothers" might ask the "Konoha Family" for help. Since he didn't expect it, Afterimage should have thought of it. But she didn't. Until the two of them came to her door, she still spent part of her mind on such boring things.
"Brother Fu and Brother Lu are here. I think they must have something to discuss with me. This is private, so you might as well speak frankly." Ye Xuan said warmly. He is a hypocritical person, but he does not like superficial hypocrisy. After sitting down, he took the initiative to lead to the topic, skipping the mutual flattery.
Fu and Lu looked at each other. Sitting opposite Ye Xuan, "Wu Fu" with two beards said: "My two brothers have admired Mr. Ye and Mr. Mu for a long time, but they have never been able to make friends. The Grain Festival is approaching, so I bring a small gift. I'm taking the liberty of coming here. This is also what the 'Fifteen Masters' and the 'Cangcheng Chamber of Commerce' mean." After Wu Fu said this, he took out a gift list from his arms and handed it to the residual image with both hands. Wu Fu and Wu Lu originally had sixteen masters, but now the oldest one has passed away.
Afterimage took the gift list, resisted opening it, and handed it directly to Ye Xuan. Through Ye Xuan's expression, he roughly knew the weight between the two "rectangular pieces of paper".
Before Ye Xuan could refuse, "Wu Fu" took the lead and said: "Brother Ye, it is true that the two of us seek help from each other this time, and it is also true that we sincerely cooperate with each other. The 'Cangcheng Chamber of Commerce' and 'Kurong City' have good intentions. , not even the slightest bit false. No matter what we are asking for, whether it is convenient or not, I hope that Brother Ye will not refuse these frivolous things mentioned on the list. Show the gift list first, just to avoid any misunderstanding. If Ye Brother, if you realize that this unreasonable gift has become a bargaining chip for us to seek each other, it will really put me to shame."
"The two Wu brothers are sincere, so I will receive the salary for nothing." Ye Xuan knew that this matter could not be solved by money, silk, jewels and jade, so he simply stopped entangled and accepted the gift list directly. If you can't help, just find a time to return the favor and give him a generous gift. "I wonder what I can do for Brother Wu?"
Fu and Lu looked at each other again, with a look of embarrassment and sadness on their faces. After a while, "Wu Fu" still lowered his head and said: "After that incident, I grew a beard on my face so that... my brothers would not be mistaken for each other." Wu Fu spoke vaguely, and Ye Xuan understood immediately when he heard it. There was no doubt that the rumor was true at this moment.
…………
"Wu Fu"'s first wife, named "Xu Su", was the daughter of "Xu Fei and Shangguan Jing" in Liangcheng.
"Xu Su" was originally named "Shangguan Su", and her mother "Shangguan Jing" was the concubine of "Shangguan Ge", the head of the "Shangguan" clan of the southern wealthy family.
"Shangguan Jing"'s biological mother died young, and she had few people to educate her since she was a child. When Cardamom first came of age, she secretly communicated with a servant at home and unexpectedly became pregnant. "Shangguan Ge" was furious and immediately beat the male servant to death with a stick. "Shangguan Jing" was also imprisoned and later gave birth to a daughter named "Shangguan Su".
The Shangguan clan has a large population. "Shangguan Jing", as a concubine, had ruined her honor and integrity. She stayed at home and was unable to marry, and she was even more cold-eyed and disgusted. It happened that this "Shangguan Jing" was extremely beautiful and had all kinds of beauty in the garden. She looked ordinary when she was next to her, which made all the sisters-in-law jealous and bullied.
"Shangguan Jing" has a stubborn temperament and never admits his mistakes to his father, let alone others. With no one to rely on and no way out, he had no choice but to stay in his hut and practice his Qi silently. But I never thought that after only seven years, I would be "getting started", and then I would make rapid progress and get out of hand. After breaking the green bricks with bare hands, a few years later, the granite slab was broken through the air.
All this was seen by "Shangguan Su" who depended on his mother: At first, everyone bullied her mother; later, those who bullied her mother became more and more polite; and later, even those who bullied her mother saw The grandfather who shrank even when he was young, the grandfather who he could only see once a year and ignored his mother when she kowtowed to him, also began to surround her and flatter her.
"Shangguan Su" gradually understood a truth - those who can break the "steel cane" can do whatever they say and do whatever they want.
My daughter has reached the prime of life, and I have finally reached the "Locust Realm". "Shangguan Jing" took the graceful "Shangguan Su" with her and resolutely left home and crossed the Tianhe River to go north. Along the way, we can’t count how many people who said “frivolous words” died unexpectedly.
More than half a year later, the aimless mother and daughter were molested by Yamen soldiers in the ancient capital "Liangcheng", and the ground was dyed bright red in the white snow. After being surrounded by hundreds of "archers", "Shangguan Jing" abandoned her sword on the ground for fear of being unable to protect her daughter in a chaotic battle, and brazenly challenged "Xu Fei" to fight.
The two people, whose nature is like a raging fire, fell in love with each other during the cold weather. Only seven days later, the guards all over the city knelt on one knee and shouted "Mother" to the woman who had slaughtered their brothers and officials.
"Shangguan Su" changed his name to "Xu Su". Kneeling in front of this man who looked like a mountain, he called out the word "daddy" for the first time in his life. "Xu Fei" has practiced martial arts since he was a child and has no children. He dotes on "Xu Su" even more than his mother.
The love between husband and wife is deep, the father is kind and the daughter is filial. In the blink of an eye, "Xu Su" is nearly sixty years old. Nuo is a big "cool city", but there is still no man who can catch her eye.
Once, the family went hunting in the "Snowy Mountains". "Xu Fei" dragged the white tiger that he had strangled to death, and asked his daughter with a smile what kind of husband she wanted to marry. If she could tell him, he would go and capture him.
"Xu Su" only replied quietly: "What use can I make to a person who can be kidnapped by you?" The implication was that he would not marry unless it was a "locust plague".
This can be called a dilemma for "Xu Fei and Shangguan". At that time, "Hu Kang" had already had a wife, and "Ye Xuan" was still the master of his skirt. In the north and south of Tianhe, there are only five people to choose from: "Mo Bai, Feng Dazhao, Gu Changqing, Wu Fu, and Wu Lu".
There is no doubt that "Ink White" is the best choice. Not surprisingly, "Mo Bai" refused to take a wife and replied politely declining.
"Wind Spear" is the most notorious "locust" in the world. "Xu Fei" doesn't dislike him any less just because he is the second worst.
"Gu Changqing" is older than "Xu Fei"'s grandfather. Even if he was willing, "Xu Fei" would not let his precious daughter perform filial piety to others.
The only ones left are "Wu Fu and Wu Lu". These two people had no future and spent all day in brothels, but they could not compose a poem as beautiful as "Mo Bai", which is as beautiful as ancient and modern poems. Unfortunately, this unsatisfactory choice is the only option.
This time, "Shangguan Jing" learned his lesson and no longer asked "Xu Fei" to write letters. Instead, he took his husband and daughter to "Cangcheng" for fun.
"Xu Su" did not inherit the foundation of his mother, and it would be difficult to make progress before reaching the "Fire Realm" in Qi training. However, she inherited her mother's beauty. "Shangguan Jing" is fully confident that as long as the "Wu brothers" see their daughter, they will not turn against each other and will compete to flatter her.
It turned out not as "Shangguan Jing" expected. When the "Cangcheng Chamber of Commerce" came to support him, "Xu Fei" vaguely stated his intention. Less than half a month after returning to "Liangcheng", the "Xu Family" received two copies from the "Wu Family" and the "Cangcheng Chamber of Commerce". bride price.
Wu Fu, the eldest son of Wu and the beloved disciple of the 16th "Governor" of the Cangcheng Chamber of Commerce, wanted to marry Xu Su. Xu Su thought of Wu Fu's gentle and gentle appearance, and felt quite satisfied. Although she couldn't tell which one was Wu Fu.
When she married into the Wu family, Xu Su's dowry was more than ten times more than the betrothal gifts from the "Wu family" and "Cangcheng Chamber of Commerce" combined. The number of maidservants brought from "Liangcheng" was also more than the original number from "Wu Mansion". There is a strong tendency for doves to occupy magpie's nests and dominate guests.
The Wu family's parents were originally traders in Lao Shi's local store. Unexpectedly, I gave birth to two powerful sons that even the "leaders" of the chamber of commerce were trying to please. I was more frightened than happy. No matter whether the money and silk at home are piled up like a mountain; no matter whether those calligraphy and paintings can be exchanged for a year's hard work by tearing off half a corner. Still only getting up early and working late at night, running the small cloth shop.
When a young lady from the Xu family married into the family, the two of them felt scared. I just hope that this incredibly beautiful daughter-in-law will not follow any rules or etiquette and come to greet me from time to time. Xu Su did not disappoint the two elders either. The family lived in peace and respected each other as guests.
When Xu Suyuan married "Cangcheng", she was still treated like a princess and a grandson. After tasting the clouds and rain, it blooms more beautifully than any other. My husband is also very caring and considerate to me. Only the bad habit of visiting prostitutes made her very unhappy.
This Wu Fu looked sickly and seemed tireless when it came to matters between men and women. She wants it every night, and even during the day, he can still visit those dirty places.
(This chapter is not over, please turn the page)
Twice a night, still the same. As time passed, Xu Su couldn't bear it anymore and retreated again.
When she went back to "Liangcheng" to visit, she also quietly asked her mother. However, Shangguan Jing told her that cultivating one's Qi to the "Locust Realm" would not benefit much from such things. "Dad" is better than his "real dad" who was beaten to death by his grandfather before he was born, but only better.
Cold comes and summer comes, prosperity and prosperity come and go; one year passes, and another year passes. "Xu Su" only beat and scolded "Wu Fu" in a routine manner for his bad habit of staying in prostitution, and was too lazy to get really angry.
Suddenly one night, when her husband was in a state of ecstasy and drunkenness, he softly called out "sister-in-law"... Five thunderbolts were not enough to describe "Xu Su"'s rage at that moment. She only felt thousands of thunders in her head. Explodes simultaneously!
In the darkness, he couldn't clearly see his sister-in-law's eyes that were about to explode. It wasn't until four fingers stabbed his neck that "Wu Lu" realized what kind of mistake he had made. However, the gap between ordinary warriors and the "locust plague" cannot be made up by sneak attacks after all. Even if it was a successful sneak attack, even if it was at his weakest moment.
Wu Lu was naked and fled from his brother and sister-in-law's bedroom in a hurry. Xu Su put on her skirt and chased Wu Lu out barefoot, holding the fallen sword, but he had long since disappeared.
In a rage, Xu Su only wrapped herself in the thin dress that could barely hide her shame, but could not cover up her graceful figure, and broke into every courtyard of the Wu Mansion to search for her. Even her parents-in-law were plucked from the bedclothes by her in their sleep.
The whole house was awakened, and Wu Lu could not be found. Xu Su stood there for a long time under the attention of all the servants, no longer shouting or cursing. Barefoot and dirty, half-clothed, with disheveled hair, like a fairy who fell into the mortal world, she quietly walked back to her bedroom, the windows and doors were closed, and there was no sound again. The whole courtyard was surrounded by maids and servants, but no one dared to break in.
"Wu Fu" was called back from the brothel by "Wu Lu", broke the door bolt and broke into the inner room. Xu Su's dirty hands and feet have long been cleaned, her long and messy hair has been neatly combed, her red and swollen eyes and face stained by tears have been patched up with light makeup, her damaged skirt has fallen to the ground, and she has a flawless body. Sleep peacefully in the bed, so peaceful that you don't even dare to disturb your breathing and heartbeat.
The pulse was gone and the body was not cold. Wu Fu anxiously searched Xu Su's body and couldn't find a single wound. It wasn't until his eyes filled with tears that he kissed his wife's lips deeply for the last time. The faint fragrance, so faint that it was almost inaudible, finally let him know the cause of his wife's death. It's "black frost".
Ordinary warriors like "Xu Su" who have practiced Qi in a shallow way will not get sick or have children. However, highly toxic poisons like "Black Frost" can still be swallowed and throat-sealed as long as the dose is larger. "Wu Fu" has no intention to think about why "Xu Su" has "black frost". Of course he knew that "Black Frost" was just the direct cause of her death. What really killed his wife was the animal behavior of himself and his brother.
This bad destiny has been going on quietly for more than ten years. Wu Fu was often worried, but he never expected that his wife would be so strong-willed once the incident came to light.
He always felt that he and his brother were basically the same person. Xu Su often can't tell the difference. When they were clear about it, the uncle and sister-in-law started laughing, scolding, and playing, but they didn't see how to avoid suspicion. Even though there are all kinds of evils and all kinds of sins, we are all one family after all. Why...why don't we live anymore?
They have been in love for more than ten years, but the couple don't really understand each other. Ever since Wu Fu could remember, he had never felt that he was a complete and independent person; Xu Su's inferiority and self-pity were also tightly wrapped up in arrogance and arrogance.
When the "Wu brothers" finally began to regret, it was already too late. They don't even dare to pay too much attention and let grief and self-blame torture themselves unbridled. Because they know extremely well: their family and their teacher's family are in danger.
Among the "locust plagues" in the north and south, "Xu Fei" has a bad reputation, second only to "Wind Spear". In fact, "Xu Fei" has killed many more people than "Feng Dashao" so far. The reason why "Wind Spear" is even more hated is because he kills people indiscriminately and his actions are unpredictable. "Xu Fei" always only kills his offenders - massacres of his whole family, destroying the whole family.
…………
After a long moment of silence, seeing that Ye Xuan looked hesitant and did not answer, Wu Fu continued solemnly: "With the temperament of my father-in-law and mother-in-law, I'm afraid that killing us two will not be enough. If our brothers are provoked and killed, our family and the teacher's sect will be killed." …fear of being massacred.”
"Master Xu's methods are well-known far and wide. So are you two ready for a fight?" Afterimage interjected and asked.
Wu Lu looked at the afterimage and gritted his teeth and replied: "Yes! We brothers should not bring trouble to our parents when we commit evil. Our masters have taught us skills. For decades, we have never killed anyone for the master, nor have we helped the master make money... …But at least, we can’t kill the master.”
Ye Xuan felt that these two people were a bit verbose, "Are you willing to die if there is no bond?" Although he thought so in his heart, he still said in agreement: "It's only reasonable to not bring harm to the family." He then started talking again. Leading to his biggest concern: "So, what can I do for Brother Wu?"
"What the two of us are asking for is really too abrupt. I hope that Brother Ye and Mr. Mu won't be offended. Wu Fu and Wu Lu, I would like to thank you in advance." After saying that, he got up to avoid the table and bowed to him again. .
"Come again?" Mu Qing'er frowned slightly, but had no choice but to stand up with Ye Xuan again and stepped forward to help him.
After the five people finally sat back in the chairs, Wu Fu looked embarrassed and said sincerely: "Except for sparring with each other, we have never fought against other 'Locust Realm' warriors, and we don't know our own weight. Duel with father-in-law and mother-in-law. , there is really no certainty. Therefore...therefore..."
"I want to try it on us." Seeing Wu Fu's deliberate procrastination, Ye Xuan followed his lead and said the most difficult second half of the sentence himself.
When the "Wu brothers" heard this, they stood up and saluted again. Ye Xuan hurriedly stretched out his hand to stop it: "Let me think about it."
"Kurong City" is in the west; "Liang City" is in the east; "Cangcheng" is in the middle. These are the three largest forces north of Tianhe. Wu Fu and Wu Lu, as the leaders of "Cang City", came to challenge the "Lord of Korong City". Such behavior was extremely rude. Ye Xuan and Mu Qing'er didn't get angry on the spot, and the two brothers were thankful.
Ye Xuan already had a general calculation in his mind, and deliberately lowered his head and said nothing, pretending to be hesitant and embarrassed. Mu Qing'er remained silent as always. Upon seeing this, Afterimage gently lifted the teapot sensibly and poured some water into the five teacups that no one had touched at all. The suffocating atmosphere in the venue suddenly relaxed a little.
"You can try it out, I have conditions." After pretending to think for a long enough time, Ye Xuan said in a deep voice.
"That's natural. Brother Ye, please tell me." Wu Fu knew that this matter would not be simple. It is much better if the other party is willing to put forward conditions than to fall out on the spot.
"Two brothers Wu, each has to do a task for the 'Mo Wen Pagoda'. You can't bully your master and destroy your ancestors, and it's hard to say that it's harmful to nature."
Wu Fu and Wu Lu quickly looked at each other, and it was Wu Fu who spoke again: "The mission... cannot involve 'Locust'." Although there was no real evidence, Ye Xuan was very sure that the two people opposite him had just changed their minds. It seemed like they could talk to each other with their eyes.
"Brother Wu, how many droughts do you think it takes to kill a locust?" Ye Xuan asked casually.
"This... at least has to be..." It was finally clear to the onlookers that while Wu Fu was thinking, Wu Lu on the side quickly stopped the conversation: "Brother Ye, it's not easy to settle the accounts like this."
Ye Xuan ignored Wu Lu's question and asked and answered: "If you risk your life, maybe ten can do it?" After saying that, he looked sideways at the afterimage on his left and teased: "The drought is not so bad after all. valuable."
Afterimage knew that this was not the time for bickering, and Ye Xuan was not really provoking him. He only pretended to be angry to show his dissatisfaction.
The "Wu brothers" have been working in the cloth shop since they were young, and they are also people who have done business. It is not easy to fool them. Wu Fu smiled humbly and responded warmly: "Brother Ye, I'm so bold to talk nonsense. I don't know if it's true. What we agreed to do at the beginning was to do two tasks that didn't involve the 'Locust Disaster'. Therefore, the 'Drought' Locust' should be How to redeem it doesn’t matter... Of course, after all, it’s my brothers who are rude first and demanding second. How about this, let’s do three tasks, what do you think?”
Afterimages were watching from the side, the scene was completely black and white, profiteers and vendors were bargaining like they were buying cloth, and they felt extremely absurd in their hearts. Although this is no different from what she does in the "Mowen Tower" on weekdays.
"Young Master, can I say something?" Afterimage begged respectfully.
Ye Xuan looked at the afterimage with suspicious eyes, and thought to himself: "When did you ask for permission when you spoke? Don't you have some bad ideas?" In front of outsiders, it was difficult to say this, so he had to nod in agreement.
After the shadow got the promise, he immediately started to clean up the mess: "You two are a few years older than me. You call Mr. Wu very disrespectful, and calling you Mr. Wu seems flattering. Can I call you Brother Wu and Brother Wu?"
"Of course, what's wrong with that?" The Wu brothers responded happily.
"Okay, then I'm welcome. Don't be shy, just call me Xiaoying." At first, even the seats were obtained with great care, but now he has become the leader of the field. She asked Ye Xuan if he could say something, and Ye Xuan replied that he had one or two inappropriate words. Only then did he realize that he had been kicked off the table by her.
"Brother Wu, Brother Wu, I'm just guessing. Please don't be offended if I'm wrong. You have two problems right now: one is 'can we beat the enemy', and the other is 'can we beat the enemy'. The first one The first question is the most important, and the second question is the most troublesome.
In terms of combat power alone, two locusts and fifteen droughts. 'Cangcheng' is undoubtedly the strongest place in the world. No matter how angry Xu Fei and Shangguanjing are, they will not be stupid enough to come openly to seek revenge. Of course you won’t go to ‘Liangcheng’ either. If the fight is arranged in an unrelated place, it is also normal. The side with fewer people is always in danger of being surrounded and killed.
If I were Xu Fei, if I wanted to wipe out your family and masters, I would first hide in the dark and cut off your troublesome masters one by one. Of course, the masters will not hang on the branches like flower bones and wait for them to be cut. When you left the nest this time, did the masters follow you, or did you go into hiding? "
Wu Fu nodded and said: "Captain Xiaoying, his eyes are like a torch. At this moment, 'Cangcheng' is empty. The third master, the seventh master, and the ninth master are here with me. The other masters have temporarily disappeared with their families."
The group of masters Wu Fu and Wu Lu were not arranged in order of age, so even the afterimages couldn't tell who "three, seven, and nine" were. I can only roughly guess that they are three of the four masters who "have no parents, wives or children."
The fourth master didn't come, and even if he came, he couldn't tell. At this time, the matter of "Dark Candle" has not yet spread, and the apparent high-level combat power of the "Konoha Clan" is only "two locusts and four droughts". If you rashly come with equal or even more masters without communicating with each other or getting permission, it is not as simple as "rudeness".
"For the time being? Until when? If this matter cannot be settled as soon as possible, there will probably be chaos in Cangcheng, right?" He spoke softly and aggressively.
Wu Fu said sadly: "Alas... I can only wrong my master and my parents to stay away for a while. The two of us are aware that they will come to us sooner or later to claim our lives."
"They are secretly recuperating their strength; you are open and cautious. After spending a long time, how can there be no reason to be invincible and immortal?" After a few words, the afterimage has completely found the feeling of "bloody officer", and will The study room of the "City Lord's Mansion" was regarded as the fifth floor of the "Mowen Tower".
"Captain Xiaoying is right, and we also know that procrastinating like this is not the answer. But... no matter what, we can't take the initiative to trouble our father-in-law and mother-in-law. That would be worse than pigs and dogs." Thinking of his deceased wife, Wu Fu felt sad, He shook his head and sighed.
"How about this. Help people to the end. I will solve two difficult problems for you. Mowen Tower, six tasks."
"How to solve the problem?" Hearing the tone of the residual image, it seemed that he was confident. Wu Fu and Wu Lu immediately looked forward to it.
"Young Master sent a letter to Xu Fei, asking him and his wife to go to 'Kurong City' to have a showdown with you. In front of Gu Changqing." Purely due to negotiation skills, I should have said the first half of the sentence first, and waited for the "Wu brothers" to question Whether Ye Xuan can persuade Xu Fei, and then he utters the word "Gu Changqing" quietly, will give people the greatest shock.
However, in this situation, the "Twins" suddenly arrived, and neither Can nor Ye were prepared. Can Ying came up with the idea on the spot without consulting Ye Xuan in advance, and there was no time to convince him. Afraid of being scolded mid-sentence, Afterimage had no choice but to throw all the chips on the table.
"Xiaoying!" Ye Xuan was really angry.
Resisting his dissatisfaction with the disruptor, Can Ying turned his whole body to Ye Xuan's side and begged in an extremely submissive manner: "Young Master, I am not overstepping my authority and making arbitrary decisions. If I am to blame, I can only blame 'Brother Wu and Brother Ang' for not being in advance." Let me know. The incident happened suddenly. I thought of everything on the spot. I didn’t have time to ask you for instructions." After saying that, without waiting for Ye Xuan’s reaction, he immediately turned to the opposite side and put on a timid look: "Brother Wu, Brother Wu, I It doesn’t matter what I say. I’m just thinking of some ideas on the side... I’m sorry, I’m too talkative.”
This made the Wu brothers anxious. Wu Fu quickly raised his hands to Ye Xuan and said: "Brother Ye, in the end, it is up to you to decide whether it succeeds or not. How about letting Captain Xiaoying finish his words first?"
Ye Xuan was angry, feeling that he had been tricked by this little bitch again. He was stared at by four pleading eyes across from him. He wanted to say no, but couldn't.
Seeing Ye Xuan nodding in acquiescence, Wu Fu didn't want to thank him, and immediately turned to the afterimage and asked: "Boss Gu is in Kurong City?" Anyone who has dealt with "Jianhu Village" knows that Gu Changqing should be called "Boss Gu" , instead of Senior Gu and Grandpa Gu.
"Not at this time. Boss Gu will be here at the 'Sword and Sword Tournament' in two months." As soon as Ye Xuan passed the test, the panic and cowardice pretended by the afterimage immediately dissipated, and he regained the hope and look of the "leader" .
"If there is a 'Boss Gu' who upholds justice, my father-in-law may be willing to come."
"'Boss Gu' won't do justice, he will just arrive. So this letter needs to be written skillfully." Afterimage said frankly. Wu Fu didn't know why "Kurong City" could hire "Gu Changqing", and he didn't dare to expect "Boss Gu" to interfere with such abuses in his family. But "Gu Changqing" is a symbol and a totem.
"Okay, no matter what. If we can fight as soon as possible, if we can survive by chance, my two brothers owe Captain Xiaoying six tasks." Ye Xuan heard that a good life is not what it feels like, and he was secretly angry: "It's not that I owe Xiaoying Captain, I owe Mo Wenta!" But he couldn't have an attack in front of outsiders.
"If you do this, you may be suspected of plotting against 'Boss Gu'. My teacher and I
(This chapter is not over, please turn the page)
Sister still needs to discuss it. How about replying to Brother Wu in a few days? "Seeing that this matter seemed to be settled inexplicably, Ye Xuan hurriedly interjected.
Ye Xuan asked Wu Fu "how", but Wu Fu couldn't do anything. Although I was anxious, I could only respond: "That's natural, that's natural."
Afterimage glanced at Ye Xuan, and then took over the topic: "Does Xu Fei still only have one strong man under his command, Xiang Yang?" The matter has not yet been finalized, and she has already begun to evaluate the various hidden dangers in the future.
"Yes. Uncle Xiang is the only one in the 'drought' under my father-in-law." Xu Fei has a domineering temperament. Although he is not very tender to his wife and daughter, he has little ability to control his subordinates and subordinates, and he has no tolerance for others. quantity.
"Well, that's very good. Brother Wu, Brother Wu, please allow me to be rude: if this fight comes to fruition, it will definitely be a life and death battle. Can you make it?" Canying looked at the two of them and said softly.
The two Wus looked at each other and bowed their heads. After a while, "Wu Lu" said in a deep voice: "It's about the lives of my parents and my mentor, so I don't care about that!"
"Yes!" Wu Fu also responded with difficulty.
"If you really have this awareness, you should never talk about 'father-in-law, mother-in-law, uncle Xiang'." Afterimage's tone suddenly turned harsh, almost reprimanding.
Wu Fu and Wu Lu were stunned for a moment, then nodded and said, "Captain Xiaoying taught you the right lesson."
Seeing that the "afterimage" and the "Wu brothers" who had met by chance were almost the same enemy, Ye Xuan decided not to let them talk anymore: "Two brothers Wu, no matter whether this matter succeeds or not, the sword test agreement, I will never break my promise. Please tell Xiaoying where you live, and I will send someone to pick you up at noon tomorrow."
Fu and Lu could tell that Ye Xuan was about to see off guests. Wu Lu took out the cloth sign with the detailed address of the inn from his arms and handed it to Afterimage, then stood up and left. Ye Xuan ignored the excuses and insisted on sending the two of them out of the main entrance of the "City Lord's Mansion". After some courtesy, he calmly returned to the study with Qing'er and Remnant.
"You are paying less and less attention to me!" Ye Xuan looked angry and leaned on the edge of Mu Qing'er's desk.
"Young Master, I always ask for your permission on everything. Today...something happened suddenly and I was caught off guard. Besides, I didn't agree to it," said the residual image in a delicate voice.
"Fart! Can't you say those words of yours tomorrow? Are you really not in time to ask for instructions, or are you hoping that you won't be able to ask for instructions in time? In front of me, you are going to kill me first and then tell me, using the 'Wu brothers' to force me, what the hell do you want to do!"
Afterimage's little face raised up, and he wanted to talk back. Seeing Mu Qing'er standing nearby with a sword in hand, she felt a little scared. Of course she knew that Mu Qing'er didn't lift the sword to kill her, but he just didn't put it down before he could. But after "that incident", she was really afraid of Mu Qing'er.
"Sister Qing'er, can I talk back?" Afterimage turned to look at Mu Qing'er and begged pitifully.
When Mu Qing'er asked her, she was a little confused. After a moment, she answered: "If you want to talk back, then talk back. If I want to hit you, then I will hit you."
Afterimage curled his lower lip angrily, turned to Ye Xuan, and restrained the arrogance that was almost released, but did not modify his harsh words: "Young Master, I really want to use them to help you make a decision. This is the end of the day. The good business that comes to your door, if you do it according to your xinxing, you will end up with nothing more than a loser."
"'Help' me to make a decision? Humph, I can't make any sense today. Let's see how I 'help' you with a broken leg." The more serious the threat, the less scared the afterimage became. I just thought that Ye Xuan must be too lazy to talk to her when he said this. Calculate.
"Okay, let's take it apart one by one. Sister Qing'er...can you put down the sword?"
Mu Qing'er frowned and placed the sword gently on the desk. There was no grip in his hand, and he felt uncomfortable, so he walked around and sat in the soft chair behind the desk.
"Let's talk about the danger first. You care about this the most." After the shadow said this, a trace of irony appeared on his face unconsciously: "You don't want to offend Xu Fei or Shangguan. You don't want to lure the wolf into the house and let the 'Four Locusts' fight to death. Ku Rong. But in my opinion, your agreement to try the sword with the Wu brothers is what really offended Xu Fei. By asking him to duel in the city, you are actually helping him.
There are many people in Cangcheng, but few in Liangcheng; Wu Fu and Wu Lu are gentle, while Xu Fei and Shangguan are violent; one of them feels guilty, and the other carries a blood feud. According to his past style, Xu Fei always killed the rightful owner first, and then slaughtered the other party's family and division. I didn't do this this time out of lack of strength and fear of being surrounded.
The better those troublesome masters of Er Wu were hidden, the more Xu Fei dared not move. A happy, clean fight to the death was exactly what he wanted at this moment. "
Ye Xuan retorted: "Let's not care about your reasoning behind it. The Wu brothers came to ask for a fight. I agreed and fought. It's natural and natural. What can Xu Fei say?"
"Whether it's to ask for advice, to fight or to fight, anyone with a discerning eye can tell at a glance. Xu Fei is speechless, but it doesn't stop him from hating you in his heart. But it doesn't matter. As long as they are not crazy, they will never make another tree for such a trivial matter. A powerful enemy. If we mess with him once and help him once, we will be evenly matched."
Afterimage flipped through this article casually, and the next sentence turned serious: "Let's talk about the Wu brothers. Two locust plagues, six tasks! How many taels of silver are they worth, how many Zhoulians are they worth? Are you willing to take some risks and cause more trouble for such a deal? Shouldn’t it be troublesome?”
Although Ye Xuan didn't like it, he was already used to being questioned rudely by Afterimage: "Humph, I think you just like danger and trouble, go on."
"The card is clearly 'Cangcheng is strong, Liangcheng is weak', and the difference is not even a little bit different; the two scholars also clearly know that once they die, their 'biological parents' and 'more than a dozen mentors' will either be slaughtered, or they will live in the soil for the rest of their lives. There is no light inside. Even though we have reached this situation, we are still sticky and refuse to fall out!
If I were Wu Fu, as soon as Xu Su died, without waiting for Xu Fei to respond, I would immediately take my brother and my masters to slaughter Liangcheng, and let his family of three go to the Hades Temple to reunite. If you can't look back, you should make all the mistakes. "Speaking such cruel words, there is no trace of ferocity on the afterimage.
"Even if the two brothers don't have the heart to be evil, if the two brothers see Xu Su's body and are willing to kill themselves immediately to apologize and die for their love, or carry Xu Su's coffin to "Liangcheng" to receive death, Xu Fei may not be able to let their parents go. ,master.
It was all because the two scholars were cowardly and indecisive. They were neither willing to attack nor to die. Then it was our turn to ask for high prices. I'm afraid I'll never see such a cheap thing again. "
After saying this, Afterimage shook his head slightly, and then suddenly raised his voice: "Also, the most important point: they accepted the task, it is the property of 'Mowen Tower'! We should find a way to help them win, Let them live.
Haven't you seen the worthless virtues of these two people? When did you talk about your father-in-law, mother-in-law, and Uncle Xiang... With such a state of mind, you still have the nerve to fight with others? There is no ghost until you die under Xu Fei's knife! Young Master, please wake up, there is no such thing as "three tasks", there are either six or none at all. "
Ye Xuan had to admit that the afterimage thought about things faster than himself. But he refused to think that her vision was more vicious and thoughtful: "I'll think about it carefully and give you instructions later. Even if what you said is right, that's not the reason for you to kill first and then show off, and to bring outsiders to force the palace. Senior Sister , beat her tonight!”
"Yes, young master." Mu Qing'er's indifferent tone revealed a smile that only Ye Xuan could recognize.
Exile Diary - Excerpt (57)
"Yao Er" comes here every now and then to have sex for free, and I don't care. Compared to the others, he was cleaner. I thought that with the protection of this evil man, I could have a little more peace, but this ignorant thing wanted to provoke Anese.
Yao Er came over yesterday afternoon and saw Anese carrying a wooden basin out. He pulled Anese and insisted that the three of them come together. I couldn't help but he touched Anese's body a few times and made him stagger with a flick of his hand. Yao Er was not alert, but became more excited. He rushed forward and tore Aniese's clothes. Aniese pinched his wrists with both hands and made a "click" sound. Yao Er was like a mountain wolf stepping on a beast's trap, and he screamed miserably. Number.
The door was kicked open with a bang, and three men with short sticks rushed in. Unexpectedly, Yao Er came to do this with someone.
"Kill them all, and keep the noise down." At this point, it was hard to do anything good, so I took out the "steel sword" from under the quilt and protected it in front of me.
Yao Er rolled to the ground, huddled up and wailed loudly. It seemed that none of the three people across from me heard what I said. Anese kicked Yao Er on the head with his left foot, but there was no force, and Yao Er stopped moving. This was the first time Anese killed someone with bare hands. She was stunned for a moment, then stepped forward quickly and stretched out her hands to pinch the two necks, but with no force.
The short stick was swung hard on Anese's head, and there was a muffled "bang" sound. This stick really startled me, and it helped Aniese make up her mind. She twisted her hands to the left and right, and with a "squeak", her two heads hung crookedly to both sides. The remaining man threw down his short stick and turned around to run away. He stood behind the two people who had just died and entered the house the least. However, when he fled to the door, Aniese clamped the back of his neck. This time, Aniese did not Hypocritically, he broke his neck bones in an instant.
Anese did a good job, but still caused a riot. I'm afraid that the moment the three of them kicked in the door, there were already some nefarious people outside the door watching. When the last person was killed at the door, there were screams and commotion outside the house.
"Run, get out of the city!" I threw another steel sword to Anese. The house we rented on the street had no stables, and the horses we rode into the city had already been sold.
We ran all the way, or I should say, I ran all the way, Anese followed me anxiously to guard me. There was no one blocking him in front of him, and no one chasing him behind him. The reaction of the city guard was indeed very slow, as useless as "Kunster's". Running near the city gate, there was a very harsh sound of metal hitting behind him. It should be an alarm. The six guards at the city gate immediately drew their swords and looked into the city.
"You go over and kill them first, hurry up!" There will definitely be someone chasing after you, and it will be troublesome if you are surrounded.
Anese rushed to the city gate in the blink of an eye, stopped in front of the six guards, and pulled out the "steel sword", but didn't know what to do next. She had never faced six men with "steel knives" alone. Seeing her running so fast, the six people were frightened after all. The two sides faced each other, and no one dared to move. At this time, I also ran to a place sixteen or seven steps away from Anese, not knowing whether I should step forward to help her.
The leading guard was the first to react and made a gesture with his left hand. The six people slowly formed a semicircle and were about to surround Anese.
"Don't be surrounded!" I shouted to Anesse in "Wulfganga".
Upon hearing the sound, Anese looked sideways, raised her hand, and threw out the "scabbard" held in her left palm. The man on her left was five or six steps away from her. Before she could react, the "scabbard" penetrated his leather armor and penetrated his chest. The man flew back a few steps before falling to the ground and dying. The other people surrounding him immediately backed away, but in the end they formed a circle, surrounding Anese in the middle.
"They are not as fast as you, run and stab them!"
Anese was very afraid of the "leading guard" "directly opposite". When she heard my words, she immediately jumped out to the "right rear". The several guards were far apart, and she easily stood out from the circle. While running, Anese circled around a fatter guard on the right twice. The trapped guard screamed and slashed with his sword. Anese raised his long sword towards the circle of light formed by the dancing steel knife. , there was a "ding" sound, and the steel knife flew out diagonally. Seeing that the enemy had no weapon, Anese was no longer afraid. He stretched out his right foot half way forward and slashed the opponent's throat with his horizontal sword.
At this time, more guards came down from the city tower. I threw down the "steel sword" and ran towards Anese as fast as I could: "Carry me on your back and force the city gate!"
I jumped a few steps away, jumped onto Anese's back, hugged her neck tightly, wrapped my feet around her waist and lifted her up as hard as I could, for fear of catching her legs. Anese reached back with her left hand, dragging it at the junction of my hips and legs. She pointed the sword in her right hand diagonally at the ground and rushed towards the city gate. In the blink of an eye, she reached the door. The leading guard was really brave. He raised his sword and was ready to fight. Anese didn't dare to fight him. The sword flew out of his hand and drilled a hole directly in the center of his heart.
The powerful enemy was dead, Anese ran faster, and when he waved his hand to push away the leader of the guards, his body had not yet fallen to the ground. After rushing out of the city gate, I saw a reflective object on the ground. It should be the long sword thrown by Anese. After penetrating the body, it actually flew so far.
"Don't run in a straight line!" I shouted.
After hearing what I said, Anese shook me so much that I almost vomited. I don’t know if anyone fired an arrow from behind.
We ran to a deserted place. After a long time, we arrived in a sparse forest. There was no trace of anyone nearby.
"Put me down and take a rest." Anese didn't even breathe. I lay on her back but couldn't stand it anymore.
We found a piece of dead wood and sat down. Anese lowered her head, feeling extremely depressed.
"What's wrong?" I asked.
"Qingmang, lost." Anese said sadly. "Qingmang" was the name I gave her casually when I gave her the steel sword.
"You only care about this? Don't you have any idea about what happened just now?" I said angrily.
"Princess, I've also thought about throwing small stones at them. I'll pick some up later."
"That's pretty much it. What else?" My tone softened.
Anese looked at me with her big innocent eyes, then immediately lowered her head and said, "Yes, there's more...".
I didn’t expect her to say anything else. Anese was not stupid, but she didn’t have the habit of actively thinking about problems.
"Also, you can easily kill those six people even without weapons, but you don't know how to do it. Also, you can't protect me on your own. Your strength is more suitable for killing people, not saving people. If hundreds of people surround us or shoot arrows at us, I will die before you kill them all. Also, next time you run on your back, be more steady and don't bump!"
"Yes, princess." It's this sentence again. Every time I say a long paragraph, she replies with this sentence. Huh, that's really convenient.
"Next, I will train you. In addition to flying rocks, you must practice running, jumping, and fighting with bare hands. Also, you must learn to run with me on your back and throw rocks at the same time."
"Yes, princess."
"Okay, let's go find some water."
We were lost and couldn't find anyone's home. Anese carried me on her back and ran north for a long time. It was already evening when she finally saw a farmhouse.
