Raiders, loyal dog

"Chong!"

After a violent impact, Xuan Wu's sword was thrown from the side by Ling Zixiu.Xuan Wu lightly shook his numb right hand, didn't make any excuses, just lowered his head slightly.

"Don't do meaningless things." Ling Zixiu frowned and looked at Xuan Wu, his voice was a little cold, "Fei'er saved Xuan Liu, but it was just to repay the favor of the white group. Even if it is really necessary to liquidate, it should be Xuan Liu himself Make the decision, you are not qualified to make decisions for her."

Xuan Wu moved his lips, and in the end he only replied in a low voice, "Yes."

Ling Zixiu glanced at Xuan Wu, and continued to talk to him, but his eyes were locked on Fei'er: "No matter how you look at it, you don't owe her anything, and you don't have to pay attention to what she said. .”

"Haha, what Xiao Shiyi said really hurt my heart. It's rare that I'm willing to spend a lot of time working for you to save people. How come I can't get a good word in the end?" Fei'er smiled, half-heartedly. Squinting his eyes at Xuan Wu who was standing silently at the side, he bent down and picked up the sword on the ground, and threw it towards him, "My little Wu is honest, and I can't bear to make fun of it. It's just casual Just kidding, why are you so serious?"

After saying that, he smiled lightly, and said with great interest: "However, this is what makes Xiao Wu the cutest."

Ling Zixiu raised his eyes to look at Fei'er, and said coldly: "I'm afraid that these people in my group are not lucky enough to be worthy of your love, Fei'er."

Fei'er was ridiculed by Ling Zixiu's words, but she didn't care at all.He caressed casually the folds of the dress, then walked to Ling Zixiu's side, and said, "Leave Xuan Wu here to take care of Xuan Liu, you and this elder brother come out with me, and I'll write the prescription for you."

With that said, he went out the door first.

The three of them came to Ling Zixiu's room again. As soon as they entered the door, Fei'er suddenly turned around and looked at Qiao Zhibai with a smile on her face: "Brother, if it is convenient, can you go downstairs to the shopkeeper first?" Can you get me some pens and paper?"

Qiao Zhibai glanced at Ling Zixiu and Fei'er, knowing in his heart that there was probably something to discuss between the two, so he responded tactfully: "Of course there is nothing inconvenient. Then I will go now. Miss Fei'er, please wait a little longer."

After saying that, he turned around and walked out, and closed the door tightly by the way.

"Your brother is quite interesting. He looks like he is knowledgeable and interesting. He knows what he should know, and he also understands what he should avoid suspicion." Fei'er looked at Ling Zixiu with a smile, and said meaningfully, "So Only those who can live a long life.”

Ling Zixiu's eyes darkened slightly, and he said coldly: "There is nothing between me and my brother that he can't know. If you have something to say, speak quickly, don't go around talking about it here."

Fei'er was taken aback for a moment, and then looked at Ling Zixiu who smiled even more presumptuously: "I said my good eleven, did you find out? Why does your mood fluctuate every time you mention something related to your brother?" Abnormally obvious? If you want to be a qualified 'king', this is still far from it."

Ling Zixiu seemed to be stabbed in pain by Fei'er, but his whole body gradually calmed down. He just looked at her expressionlessly, and asked each word: "What does it have to do with you?"

Fei'er made fun of Ling Zixiu, gave him a half-smile look, but stopped the topic, and didn't want to mention it any more.He walked to the window and pushed it open, looking outside.There are pedestrians walking by in twos and threes on the street, it doesn't look as lively as when going to the market.

"Little Eleven, do you know 'Han Xing Tie'?" Fei'er stretched out her hand to close the window again, half leaning against the wall, admiring her nails, and asked casually.

Ling Zixiu thought for a while before saying: "It is said that it is the best material for casting weapons in the world. Seven of the top ten weapons in the world's weapon list are made of Hanxing Iron. Moreover, according to rumors, this The seven weapons are only mixed with a small amount of cold star iron during the casting process."

Fei'er nodded her lips with her finger, and continued: "Hanxing Iron was originally produced on the Wanniang Ice Mountain Cliff in a small island country in the far north. This material could not be dug anywhere. It came and went, and the output was naturally pitiful. Later, this small island country was annexed by other countries, and the family who dug Hanxing Iron also lost its trace in the war. Since then, the world It is very rare for a real Hanxingtie to appear again."

"Hanxing iron is hard to come by now," Ling Zixiu said, "The Xuan group is good at making weapons and transforming formations, so Hanxing iron is naturally the best material for casting swords that the Xuan group has been longing for. However, since Since the previous generation, the Xuan Group has never been able to find even a piece of Hanxing Iron."

"But, isn't there an opportunity right in front of your eyes?" Fei'er smiled deeply.

"What do you mean?" Ling Zixiu vaguely realized something.

Fei'er took out a letter from her bosom and handed it to Ling Zixiu, saying: "At the beginning of next month, Famous Sword Villa will hold a ten-day 'hero meeting', and they will give out a piece of cold star iron as a reward to the winner. The city lord asked me to tell you something, the Xuan group has been silent for so many years, it's time for some achievements."

Ling Zixiu looked down at the seal on the letter, frowned, and said, "The beginning of next month? Have you forgotten that the entire Xuan Group is still being 'punished'?"

Fei'er reached out and fiddled with her long hair, and smiled heartlessly: "I am only responsible for giving messages to the city lord, as for other things, I have nothing to do with it."

Ling Zixiu still bowed his head and remained silent.

Seeing Ling Zixiu's appearance, Fei'er had a rare act of kindness, and lazily said, "I don't want to speculate on what kind of consciousness the city lord is. However, what I want to remind you is that the city lord is the most There are clear rewards and punishments. If you get things done properly, after you survive the crusade, the goodness of the Xuanzu will naturally be indispensable. Don’t forget, a few generations ago, the Xuanzu was not without being the leader of all the groups. No one else."

Fei'er chuckled again, walked around Ling Zixiu, and said meaningfully while walking slowly: "Besides, you 'kings' have already begun to plump up after being raised for so many years. And the city lord has also begun to grow." old."

Stretching out her hand to open the door, Fei'er's tone became cheerful again: "Okay, I've already brought the words, and the task is completed, then I won't stay any longer. You still have a lot to do, so I wish you well here first." luck."

With that said, he waved his sleeves and left straight away.

When Ling Zixiu was going upstairs with paper, pen and pastries, he happened to meet Fei'er going downstairs.

"I actually ran into brother Qiao's family here, which saved me a lot of trouble." Fei'er glanced at the tray Ling Zixiu carried, smiled coquettishly, walked over to pick up a pen, and dipped it on the inkstone without talking nonsense. The ink that has been polished on the paper, left a string of names of medicinal materials on the clean rice paper in a fluttering manner, and after finishing writing, I picked it up and looked at it, and felt that there was nothing missing, so I put the things down and said, "In the I have stayed here for many days, and things have been a lot of pressure, I think I can't stay longer. I will leave today, and I hope to get together with Brother Qiao next time."

Although Qiao Zhibai was a little surprised by Fei'er's eagerness to leave, he didn't show it on his face.Politely said a few polite words to Fei'er, watched her leave the inn, and continued upstairs with the tray.

"Xiaoxiu." Qiao Zhibai pushed open the door, and saw Ling Zixiu looking at a letter in his hand with a serious expression, and put the tray on the table. Qiao Zhibai looked at Ling Zixiu curiously and asked, "What is that?" ?”

Ling Zixiu shook his head: "It's just a private letter from Fei'er sent by the city lord." After speaking, he folded up the letter and put it aside, then looked at Qiao Zhibai and said, "Have you seen Fei'er?"

Qiao Zhibai nodded: "It happened just when she was leaving. By the way, there is this." Qiao Zhibai took the prescription and showed it to Ling Zixiu, "We will go to the pharmacy later. Get the medicine back. Finish these things earlier, and feel more at ease sooner."

Ling Zixiu looked at the prescription left by Fei'er, and there were some common medicines on it, but they were not difficult to get.He responded to Qiao Zhibai and said, "I'll go with my brother later."

Then, he looked at the plate of pastries on the tray, and asked with a smile, "Brother specially sent it to me?"

Qiao Zhibai brought the small plate over: "It's already past noon, and it's very early for dinner. I'm afraid that if you eat it now, you won't be able to eat it at night, so I specially asked the kitchen to make some snacks. Pamper your belly. Try it, I remember you don’t like sweet food very much, so I asked them to put less sugar on purpose. What do you think?”

Under Qiao Zhibai's expectant eyes, Ling Zixiu picked up a plum blossom-shaped snack, took a bite and tasted it.

"How is it?" Qiao Zhibai asked.

Ling Zixiu smiled lightly, his eyebrows curved: "Mmm. It's delicious."

57 kisses

After Fei'er detoxified Xuan Liu, Xuan Liu woke up that night.Because it was an extraordinary period, Qiao Zhibai didn't dare to hand over the bought medicine to Xiao Er, so he could only go to the kitchen and borrow a small stove, and decoct the medicine by himself while staring at the time.

After tossing and tossing like this for a few days, Xuan Liu's body is considered to be in good shape.

In the blink of an eye, it was already the end of October, and there were only about ten days left before the opening of the "Heroes' Meeting" at Mingjian Villa.

"The current situation is that if we choose to ride on horseback, we will be able to return to Yongchuan Prefecture, which is where our Xuanzu headquarters is located, in about five days. Here, our defense strength is undoubtedly It is the strongest, and since the blue team has not yet elected a new 'king', there is no way to launch a large-scale battle between the entire team. Only relying on those scattered sneak attacks, our situation will be Much better than now."

A few days later, taking advantage of the fact that everyone was in the best condition, Ling Zixiu gathered everyone together, took out the parchment full of detailed maps, and pointed to one of them. Qiao Zhibai and the other three analyzed the situation they are facing now.

"However, at this time, the 'hero meeting' of Mingjian Villa is about to begin." Xuan Wu, who had already heard Ling Zixiu's talk about this matter, frowned slightly, and said, "Famous Sword Villa is leaving here. The place is not far away, and ten days would definitely be more than enough time if the horse is on the fast track. However, the problem is that this time the hero meeting will not only last for ten days, but also, the direction of Mingjian Villa is the same as that of Yongchuan Prefecture where the headquarters of the Xuanzu Group is located. But it is almost in the opposite direction. Even if we really got the Hanxing Iron from the Famous Sword Villa after the meeting, it will take more than a month for us to return to Yongchuan Prefecture."

Xuan Liu also nodded, and then said: "The current crusade has passed one-third, if we spend more than a month on the Hanxing Iron, I am afraid that when we go back, we will encounter it before we have time to arrange it." The last and most violent attack of the blue team. At that time, I am afraid that even our headquarters in Yongchuan Prefecture may be in trouble."

Ling Zixiu frowned, and didn't speak for a while.Indeed, the conflict and urgency of time is what troubles him the most at the moment. Once they make a wrong step, they may be lost forever.

"If you really can't schedule the time, then it's better to give up that Lao Shizi's 'Hanxing Iron' first. Getting or not getting the left and right pieces of iron doesn't have much effect on the current situation, at most it's just a little It’s just supplementary compensation.” Qiao Zhibai couldn’t understand what Ling Zixiu and the others were struggling with, “If your city lord really wants you to get a piece of this ‘Hanxing Iron’, at worst it will take another two months to wait for you Xuanzu survived this crusade, and then figured out a way."

"If only it were as simple as what my brother said." Ling Zixiu lowered his head and rolled up the parchment, and said softly, "We know that the Xuan team has no time, and the other teams also have a clear mind, so our How could the city lord not know? His casual request, if he can bother Fei'er to send a letter at such a sensitive time, then the meaning cannot be as simple as it seems on the surface."

Ling Zixiu's eyes suddenly sharpened: "So, we must get the Hanxing Iron this time, and on the basis of winning the crusade, we have to get it beautifully."

Qiao Zhibai didn't quite understand the meaning of Ling Zixiu and Xuan Wu and Xuan Liu who valued the orders of the city lord more than their lives. Obviously, if they died in this "crusade", then Isn't there nothing left?

However, it was already this time, and he couldn't refute anything against the three views cultivated by those three people over the years.He could only lick his lips, looked at Ling Zixiu with some concern and asked, "So, what are your plans now? As you said, our time is running out."

Ling Zixiu murmured for a long time, looked up at Qiao Zhibai and the other three, and then, as if he had decided on something, he said slowly: "In this situation, both ends must be taken care of. In this way, my brother and I will set off tomorrow to go to the famous Jianshanzhuang, Xuanwu and Xuanliu, you two should follow the original plan and go back to the headquarters of Yongchuan Prefecture to wait for orders. I will draw up a detailed plan as soon as possible about some things about the Xuanzu, and I will hand it over to you before departure tomorrow. you."

To be honest, if he didn't know anything about Qiao Zhibai's physique at the beginning, maybe Ling Zixiu would really have a headache at this time.But now, after he knew that Qiao Zhibai had such an awesome golden finger of "invulnerability to guns and guns, invulnerability to a hundred poisons", it was much easier to make this decision.

Even though the fact that Qiao Zhibai is immortal troubles him to some extent, but on the other hand, he can take Qiao Zhibai anywhere with peace of mind.In any case, if he was alone, it shouldn't be a problem for him to keep his life in the hands of those people.

"What?" Xuan Wu and Xuan Liu raised their heads to look at Ling Zixiu in unison, a trace of disapproval flashed across their faces, "Wang, this can't be done..."

"Nothing is impossible. It's up to me now." Ling Zixiu waved his hand to cut off the words of Xuan Wu and Xuan Liu, and continued, "Everyone in the Xuan team, except me, you are the only ones who can barely use the resources in the team. Then , what you have to do is to defend the headquarters well before my brother and I go back. Moreover, as long as I don't return to Yongchuan Prefecture, their attacks on the headquarters will be much weaker, which is also convenient for you to quickly deploy defense lines. "

"But, Wang, in that case, your situation is too dangerous!" Although Xuan Liu knew that he should not question Ling Zixiu's words, he couldn't help but reminded him.

"It's not dangerous. On the contrary, if I were Mingjian Villa, it might really be a much safer place." Ling Zixiu looked at the crowd and said, "Famous Sword Villa has a reputation in the Jianghu. Not to mention that there are countless masters in the village, and when it comes to the hero meeting, there will be masters from all over the world gathered together. In such a big environment, in order not to make too much noise, the blue, yellow and green groups Even if they want to assassinate me, they must not dare to make big moves. As such, they are timid, which is of course beneficial to me."

"But Mr. Qiao..." Xuan Liu looked at Qiao Zhibai with some worry, and stopped talking halfway through.

"Don't worry, my brother is not someone who can kill cats and dogs, right, brother?" Ling Zixiu smiled and looked at Qiao Zhibai as he spoke, which sounded quite normal, but he didn't know why , Qiao Zhibai was covered in white sweat.

With a light cough, Qiao Zhibai nodded seriously: "I have no problem here. Moreover, I believe that even if there is an omission by accident, Xiaoxiu can solve it."

Ling Zixiu listened to Qiao Zhibai's words, looked at him with a slight smile, then turned his gaze, glanced at Xuan Wu and Xuan Liu, and said calmly: "This is an order."

Although Xuan Wu and Xuan Liu still felt that this was inappropriate, seeing that the parties involved had no objections, they could only nod in response, "Yes, Wang."

Seeing that his opinion had been passed unanimously, Ling Zixiu began to plan the details of the next matter.He briefly mentioned some possible problems that might arise when working separately, and then sent Xuan Wu and Xuan Liu out of the room.

Seeing those two people left, Ling Zixiu looked at Qiao Zhibai, smiled flatteringly and asked, "I decided on my brother's itinerary without asking his opinion beforehand. Brother won't blame me, will he?"

Qiao Zhibai shook his head, poured a cup of tea and passed it to Ling Zixiu, and said, "What Xiaoxiu decided must have been carefully considered. This kind of arrangement is the best at the moment. How can I blame you?" ?”

Ling Zixiu took the teacup and took a shallow sip of the tea.

"Really?" Ling Zixiu lowered his eyes and smiled, "That's fine."

Qiao Zhibai stretched out his hand and stroked Ling Zixiu's hair: "Although I said so, in fact, I also have selfish intentions." Qiao Zhibai smiled, "As Xiaoxiu's brother, naturally I want to advance and retreat with Xiaoxiu Yes. Even if Xiaoxiu doesn't want to take me with you today, I think I'll ask you to change your plan. Although I don't have much fighting power, judging from the situation, I shouldn't hold you back."

"I'll be a very worry-free teammate." Qiao Zhibai blinked, and said to Ling Zixiu with some teasing.

"Really? Does brother think so too?" Ling Zixiu stretched out his hand to hold Qiao Zhibai's hand on his head, and then cleverly grabbed his hand in his own. "Brother also wants to be with me forever." together?"

Ling Zixiu's hand joints are slender and beautiful, but the palm is not as delicate as that of ordinary young people, but rather rough because it is covered with calluses.But his palm is indeed very warm, with a temperature that touches people's hearts.

"What nonsense, didn't I promise you a long time ago?" Qiao Zhibai curled his lips, feeling warm somewhere in his heart, with a very peaceful and comfortable feeling, "Or, you have never said Take my words seriously, student Ling Xiaoxiu?"

"No, brother, I just feel so lucky that I can't believe it." Ling Zixiu stood up suddenly, walked over quickly and hugged Qiao Zhibai.

"...You're still acting like a baby at such an age, do you want my brother to give you another kiss of love?" Qiao Zhibai patted Ling Zixiu's back with one hand, and was just laughing, when he suddenly felt Ling Zixiu raised his head, and then lowered his eyes slightly, Suddenly, he leaned over and touched the corner of Qiao Zhibai's lips.

"If you love the kiss, I'll give it to brother." Ling Zixiu smiled contentedly, "Because I really like brother very much."

Qiao Zhibai felt the remaining warmth from the corners of his lips in a daze, and then, unable to restrain the heat rising from his face, he blushed suddenly.

Being blushed by a child's kiss... Really, what the fuck can't be more embarrassing ==+
