Raiders, loyal dog

Chapter 42

"Ugh!" The green-clothed boy stood stiffly on the ground with his head lowered halfway. The hidden weapon in his hand was loosened weakly, and the iron hidden weapon fell on the soft fallen leaves. No sound came out.

The boy stood stiffly for a while, and then his body seemed to lose strength, his knees softened, and he knelt down slowly on the ground.Ah Si and Thirteen were lying not far from him, obviously out of breath a long time ago.And according to the current situation, even he himself is not much better.

His abdomen was pierced by a sword, and the blood was continuously flowing out, which soon dyed the green clothes into a strange color.

How is it possible, how is it possible to be so strong... The green boy struggled to cover the bleeding part of his abdomen with one hand, and there was a constant coughing sound from his throat. Occasionally, when he coughed hard, some blood would come out Foam.

The boy felt that his strength was running out.Originally, he thought that even if he couldn't win, he might still be able to escape from Ling Zixiu's hands.But the reality was far more embarrassing for him than he imagined.

Unexpectedly, there is no room for escape?

Ling Zixiu looked indifferently at the young man who was still struggling to support himself and tried to stand up, and shook the blood stained on his sword casually with some disgust.

"You don't want to die, do you?" Ling Zixiu looked coldly at the struggle of the young man in green, raised his leg slightly and took a few steps forward, gently raised his hand, and the long sword stained with fresh blood was straight It touched the eyebrows of the young man in green.

I don't know what kind of material that sword is made of, and the chill on the blade is overwhelming.Just approaching so quietly, there is a tingling pain that chills to the bone.

"What does the king of the 'Xuan' group mean? Winning the king and defeating the bandits, do you still want to let me go?" Even though he had lost his momentum, the young man still gritted his teeth and tried his best to push his Stand up.

Ling Zixiu watched the veins burst out on the young man's arm supporting his body, and cold sweat dripped from the other's forehead. It may have been a long time, or it may have only been a few minutes, when the young man shook his body violently. But still stood up tremblingly.

A hint of admiration flashed across Ling Zixiu's eyes, he lowered his head and casually tore off a piece of cloth from the corner of his clothes, then he didn't speak, just wiped the long sword in his hand leisurely and carefully. Jian looked towards the direction of the sky until there was no trace of blood left on it, then he threw away the blood-stained rag in his hand with satisfaction.

He tied the sword that had lost its sheath to his waist, and Ling Zixiu didn't even look at the young man in green who seemed to be about to fall down again in the next second, but just waved his hand and said calmly: "I'm in a hurry today, and your life will be saved for the time being." Go. Now I will give you a chance to go back and find your king, and ask if the blue team can really give him what he expects. Moreover, although the blue team is no longer the blue nine The blue team under him is gone, but if the green team wants to use this to expand their power, and see if they have the appetite to swallow such a big piece of fat alone."

The green-clothed boy covered his abdomen with one hand, stared at Ling Zixiu's back in astonishment, coughed several times, and then reluctantly said: "What the king decides will never be changed easily. If you want me to persuade you king……"

"Persuade your king? Do you have the qualifications?" Ling Zixiu interrupted the young man in green with a sneer. His back was straight as he left, "What I want to do is just to let you pass on a message. That's all. I believe that your king will know what to do, which is the best for him."

After all, he didn't delay here any longer, and jumped up with one foot, and then jumped on a nearby branch, but in an instant, the whole person disappeared in front of his eyes.

The young man in green looked at the direction Ling Zixiu was leaving, and after a while, he clenched his fists, gritted his teeth to support his body, turned around and left quickly.

Qiao Zhibai boarded the boat with Xuan Wu and Xuan Liu, and they didn't have to wait long before seeing Ling Zixiu rushing towards them in the distance.

Finally seeing Ling Zixiu's figure, Qiao Zhibai put his heart back a little.Walking from the cabin to the deck in a few steps, he waved in Ling Zixiu's direction as a greeting.

Seeing his own king rushing over, Xuan Wu also had a faint smile on his face, turned his head and quickly told the boatman: "It's ready now, let's set sail."

The boatman was already waiting on the shore, when he heard Xuan Wu's words, he yelled loudly, wiped the long penny into the water, pushed back vigorously, and used the reaction force of the water to slowly propel the boat. move forward.

The boat slowly left the river bank and drifted towards the deep water in the center of the river bit by bit.

"Start the boat now? Why didn't you wait for Xiaoxiu to come?" Qiao Zhibai turned around and asked Xuanliu who was behind him.

Xuan Liu glanced at Qiao Zhibai, and then there was a faint smile on the corner of his lips. Looking at Ling Zixiu who was rushing towards them, he said slowly, "The king doesn't need that."

unnecessary?Qiao Zhibai blinked, then turned around, and saw Ling Zixiu had come to the bank of the river.Then, he stopped, raised his head and smiled as if facing Qiao Zhibai. Then, he just tapped the ground with his toes, and after that, his whole body seemed to be It soared into the air like a bird, and crossed the river at an unscientific speed, running directly towards the boat.

"Brother, I'm back." Ling Zixiu landed steadily one step away from Qiao Zhibai, and then stretched out his arms to hug Qiao Zhibai, "Brother is also waiting for me to come back safely, that's great."

Listening to Ling Zixiu's words, Qiao Zhibai also had a little smile in his eyes, stretched out his arms to hug Ling Zixiu back, and was about to say something, but suddenly smelled a strange sweet smell from Ling Zixiu's body.

This smell is, blood?

As he was thinking about it, suddenly, Ling Zixiu staggered and almost slipped off Qiao Zhibai's body.

Qiao Zhibai subconsciously hugged Ling Zixiu's waist tightly, but his pupils shrank slightly, and his voice immediately became tense: "Xiaoxiu, how are you, Xiaoxiu? Are you injured? Where is the injury? Show me, I'm going to apply medicine to you..."

"Shh, shh, brother, don't be nervous, don't be nervous. I'm not hurt, not at all." Ling Zixiu pushed Qiao Zhibai away a little, and smiled slightly at him, "If there is any blood on your body If it's not mine, it's not mine. Didn't I promise my brother, how can I break my promise?"

Qiao Zhibai frowned and looked at Ling Zixiu's face and lips that were paler than before, reached out his hand to press his face suspiciously, and then asked, "Then why do you have such a complexion now? Is it so ugly?"

Ling Zixiu looked at Qiao Zhibai's worried face, and after a while, he bent his eyes into a cute crescent shape: "Ah, that, didn't I tell my brother?"

"what?"

Ling Zixiu leaned his head against Qiao Zhibai's neck, and his lips naturally touched his left ear.The warm breath seemed to stick to the side of his face, and that strange feeling made Qiao Zhibai feel strange.

"Didn't I tell my brother that I was seasick?" Ling Zixiu said with a soft, innocent smile, "It's very serious seasickness. It seems that I have to trouble my brother to take care of me for the next few days on the water." .”

As he spoke, he moved his head slightly away, looked at Qiao Zhibai for a while, and asked with a chuckle, "Brother, why is your face so red? Is it hot?"

"..." Qiao Zhibai froze for three seconds, then looked at his younger brother sincerely, and said seriously, "That's true."

Ling Zixiu said that he was seasick, but it was really not ordinary seasickness.Although he didn't vomit or make trouble or anything, but with such a pale face, he was leaning against the boat in a sluggish way, which made people feel worried.

"Why is it so serious? Come, come and drink some water." Qiao Zhibai passed the water in his hand, then reached out and touched Ling Zixiu's forehead, with a worried look on his face, "It seems that this waterway I still have to go for a few days, Xiaoxiu, do you feel okay?"

"It's nothing. It's only been a few days, so it can be sustained." Ling Zixiu smiled with his face up, lowered his head and took a sip of the water in the bowl, then looked at Qiao Zhibai and said, "But brother, it seems that he is very interested in this The waterway didn't respond at all."

Qiao Zhibai and Ling Zixiu sat side by side, then leaned against the wall of the ship, as if remembering something, smiled and said: "Of course. My hometown is a city in the south. Before I was an adult, I lived in Where is it? There is a lot of rain every year in our place, and it seems that water and boats can be seen everywhere in the city. There's something like seasickness."

In the south, a city with a lot of water?Ling Zixiu lowered his eyes, wondering what he was thinking.

"Huh? Xiaoxiu, what's the matter with you?" Qiao Zhibai turned his head and found Ling Zixiu's silence, and asked aloud.

"It's nothing. I'm just thinking, this is the first time my brother took the initiative to tell me..." Ling Zixiu paused, then lowered his voice, as if he had something to say, "Speaking of your life over there Woolen cloth."

"That's because there's really nothing to say." Qiao Zhibai turned his gaze away from Ling Zixiu and said lightly, "It's the custom over there that everyone has to study. From four Preschool at the age of five, until the age of eighteen or nine to go to university. There are even masters and doctorates. Roughly counted, 20 years have passed. There is no life here at Xiaoxiu... Well, wonderful, yes, wonderful "Qiao Zhibai stretched out his hand and rubbed Ling Zixiu's head, thinking about the wonderful and exciting life these days, the corners of his mouth twitched slightly, but he continued, "So there is nothing to say."

"So, brother's hometown is a very peaceful place." Ling Zixiu said calmly.

"Peace? Well, probably, probably." Qiao Zhibai responded uncertainly, "Maybe there will be turmoil, but it's always far away from ordinary people like us."

"Oh, that's it." Ling Zixiu lowered his head and asked, "Wouldn't it be bothering my brother to stay here? If something bad happens to me all the time."

"Maybe there will be a little bit." Qiao Zhibai nodded honestly, "But, after all, I'm already here, I can't let the environment adapt to me, only I have to adapt to the environment."

"And, Xiaoxiu is here too, isn't he?"

"Huh?" Ling Zixiu looked up at Qiao Zhibai again.

"It's a pleasure to be able to accompany Xiaoxiu like this, isn't it?" Qiao Zhibai pulled Ling Zixiu's face, trying his best to restore some color to that somewhat pale face.

Is that so.

Ling Zixiu nodded, and said softly: "Yes. I am also very happy to have my brother by my side.
