after the villain

10.

At noon, by the mirror lake.

A luxurious carriage stopped, and an ugly lame old man held a bundle of good horse hay to feed four good horses.

Behind him, the noble young man in blue raised his clothes and knelt on the ground with a slight stiffness to start a fire. The hero in white was cooking soup and chopping vegetables skillfully. On the contrary, two women, one tall and one petite, rolled up their trouser legs and held a paring knife. Pointy branches stand in the lake in late autumn.

The reason why Jinghu Lake is called Jinghu Lake is because its water surface is crystal clear, like a good glass mirror.

Ji Wuming lowered his head and looked intently at the fish wandering leisurely by his side, suddenly stabbed the branch in his hand, and when he jumped out of the water again, there were two fat fish strung together. With his mouth thumping and struggling feebly, the water stains scattered in all directions.

Ji Wuming took a step back, raised his hand and threw the fish ashore, then turned his wrist, the branch in his hand was like an afterimage, the water ripples around him surged, and the ordinary branches hung an inch above the water surface full of murderous intent.

Lin Yuezhi kept watching with bated breath, and suddenly her eyes lit up: "Here we come!"

As soon as she finished speaking, she saw the waves of the water, and several fish jumped in the waves in a panic - but saw the figure swaying, full of murderous aura, and Ji Wuming passed under the water curtain flying from the sky amidst the cold light.

When the waves calmed down, four more fish were thrown ashore.

Water drops dripped on the water surface along the tip of the branch, and the owner stood with his hands behind his back. Except for a little drop of water between the brows and down the bridge of the nose, he was dressed in a red dress with beautiful moiré pattern, which was clean and refreshing, without any water stains.

However, Ji Wuming reached out to wipe the water off his face, frowning slightly, dissatisfied: under the influence of internal injuries, even his saber technique could not exert its full strength.

The three people on the shore saw clearly that Yan Guitian picked up the fish and disposed of it, and praised sincerely, "Girl Aman's swordsmanship is so handsome!"

Lin Yuezhi returned empty-handed. Hearing this, she rolled her eyes and said, "Just because you use a sword, all the people in Jianghu use swords?"

A sword is single-edged, while a sword is double-edged. There are many similarities between swords and swords. However, there are countless people who use swords in martial arts today, but there are only a handful of people who use swords. Most of them are reckless like Jiang Qi.

In addition, Ji Wuming is good at one-handed swords, and his awe-inspiring swordsmanship looks no different from swordsmanship, so it is understandable for Yan Guitian to admit his mistakes.

It's just that Lin Yuezhi still remembers that this group of so-called heroes inexplicably besieged Endless Cliff more than a month ago.

She has a bad temper by nature, she used to dare to pat the table and point at Ji Yuan's nose to scold him as a wolf-hearted bastard, under such hatred, she can use a meteor hammer to greet each other without meeting each other, it's because of Ah Man's face .I just endured it, but I still didn't have a good face.

Yan Guitian was stunned for a moment, and said with an embarrassed expression, "I am arrogant, Miss Ah Man used to use a knife."

He was not angry, but boasted, and his words were full of appreciation and approval: "All laws are interlinked. From Yan's superficial knowledge, this saber technique seems ordinary, but it contains sharpness. It is a starting point." The hands are also frightening. As the saying goes, make the complicated into simplicity and return to the basics, Miss Ahman is really everyone! I see... I am quite familiar with it, I wonder which old senior Miss Ahman learned from?"

Ji Wuming paused, raised his eyes and looked deeply at the righteous hero who had only fought against him a month ago, casually threw the branch on the ground, and spit out two words: "Create yourself."

"...That's it." Yan Guitian only thought that Ji Wuming didn't want to talk, so he smiled and continued to deal with the fish.

Nangong Cheng made a short breath, as if thinking of something, stood up stiffly, the corners of his mouth twisted, and some strange expressions couldn't cover up the sudden realization in his words, and said slightly vaguely, "So, the pick in the car The bone knife is not that old man... senior, but yours?"

"It's mine." Ji Wuming nodded.

The knife Nangong Sheng mentioned was brought out by Ji Wuming from the Yuelai Inn. It was usually hidden under the cloak inconspicuously. She put them together in the carriage.

Everyone was traveling lightly, and the weapons were thin and soft, and there was only one package at most. Only the things bought by the old man filled the entire carriage. The pots and pans they used, as well as the horse grass, were all bought by the old man.

Nangong Cheng took the old man's medicine, and he was poisoned two hours after he set off on the road. The medicine paralyzed his whole body, so he behaved like a romantic man, with his mouth slanted, his eyes slanted, tears streaming down his face, and he looked like he was born stupid.

The old man clapped his hands and giggled to watch the excitement, pretending to be deaf and dumb, and had no intention of detoxifying him at all.

Nangong Cheng couldn't help but didn't want to be ashamed, so he hid in the carriage by himself. He hid for two days, and he didn't want to come out even to eat.He lost face, felt extremely resentful, but couldn't do anything, and had to stare at the old man in the carriage. The old man was a busy man, always smiling strangely and saying that he wanted to skin him and gouge out his flesh. good research.

Nangong Cheng had already fully understood the madness of this senior, he was afraid that he could do anything, and he was terrified when he heard it, so in desperation he used all his energy to rush out of the acupuncture point, and only looked at those things during the rest period. Strange objects.

Nangong Cheng only saw the old man picking up the knife, at that time he thought that he was really planning to take advantage of his cramps and cut out the skin, cut out the flesh and bleed him.

No one could move at once, and regardless of his stiff body, he insisted on coming down to help.

Several people were doing their own things, and they heard countless frightened birds in the woods, and their shrill voices.

The rustling sound echoed, but I don't know if it was the shadow of the tree whirling, or the lightness kung fu of the figure inside piercing the air.

After a while, Yan Jingyu, who was carrying a few leaves, came over with two smooth-haired pheasants. He was also holding the hem of his clothes with one hand, and his pockets were bulging.

"What wild fruit did Jingyu get again?" Lin Yuezhi knew that Yan Jingyu wanted to enter the evil palace, and when he saw him coming back, he smiled happily, and jumped happily over with his hands behind his back.

Yan Jingyu is not very old, just nineteen years old, but he is the one who is most familiar with the mountains, forests, vegetation, no matter what kind of place, he can always find edible wild fruits and vegetables as quickly as possible, and he can clearly say Name some herbs.

At this time, Lin Yuezhi, who can have snacks to eat, is very happy about it, but Yan Guitian shows guilt, and keeps his head down to do things in silence, not daring to look at Yan Jingyu at all.

The ingredients were handled by three men together. Nangong Sheng's back was still stiff, but his hands and feet were flexible. The three of them quickly processed it together and started cooking.

A quarter of an hour later, five dishes, one soup and all the washed and plated wild fruits were served on the table. Everyone had a happy meal.

All the food along the way was served by Yan Guitian, Ji Wuming originally thought that when Nangong Sheng said that he could cook, he was just like Yan Jingyu, that he could eat and die.

He and Lin Yuezhi held a very important position in the church, and they had never been in the kitchen, so naturally there was no need to mention cooking; Nangong Sheng was also a pampered young master, so it was a surprise that he could light a fire.If someone cooks, no matter how it tastes, if you can eat it, you shouldn't dislike it.

Unexpectedly, Yan Guitian's cooking skills are quite good, which is incomparable to that of restaurant chefs, but it has a flavor of farm stir-fry, which is really surprising.

So along the way, the cooking was left to Yan Guitian, and the others were responsible for the ingredients.

Lin Yuezhi has a clear distinction between love and hate, and she is not stingy to praise at this time, "Your cooking skills should not be underestimated, and you are much more pleasing than you."

Yan Guitian was not angry, and smiled humbly, "As long as Miss Lin likes it."

Lin Yuezhi only said that her surname was Lin, and there were a lot of eccentric people in the world, so they didn't ask much, they just called her Miss Lin.

Nangong Cheng blinked and teased, "It's really harder to get a good word from Miss Lin than hitting Endless Cliff."

He intended to show off secretly to attract the attention of Miss Xinyi, but he didn't know that this sentence directly stepped on the point of Ji Wuming and Lin Yuezhi.

Ji Wuming paused with his chopsticks, half-closed his eyes, half-smiling, a dark light flashed in his eyes, so fast that people couldn't see clearly, and couldn't see anger.

Lin Yuezhi glared at her beautiful eyes, and said with a laugh, "Young Hero Nangong is so brave, those who didn't know thought you were the one who hit the Endless Cliff alone, fought against the Lord of the Evil Palace for three days and three nights, and finally forced people to jump!" It's off the cliff! I didn't know that Nangong Shaoxia is so light in the martial arts, I am afraid that the next leader of the martial arts conference must be the young hero! It is a little girl who has eyes but does not know Mount Tai, disrespectful!"

Nangong Cheng got a bad nose, and lowered his head to eat disheveledly, feeling rather depressed in his heart, and only thought that Lin Yue knew if he liked showing off.

There are many heroines surnamed Lin in Jianghu, and there is also a Lin family in Lingnan, where the most beautiful woman in the world, Lin Yinyin, comes from—no one thinks about the right guardian of the evil palace.

After finishing the meal and tidying up again, it is almost the end of the day.

The old man felt sleepy after eating, he yawned and got into the carriage, thinking Nangong Sheng was an eyesore, he drove him to the front of the carriage with Yan Guitian who was driving, and the other three got on the horse one by one.

Ji Wuming glanced at the sky, and said in a low voice, "There is still more than half a day's journey to Huaiyang, even if you hurry up, you will not be able to catch up with the city."

Although I am used to eating and sleeping all the way, it is not as comfortable as an inn.

Especially for Nangong Cheng, he had been lying there stiffly for the past few days, and the people around him didn't want to see each other, and he was driven by money. It's really hard for a young master to fall to this point.

He immediately said, "I know a shortcut, but the road is steep and sparsely populated, and only a carriage can pass. Taking that road can be an hour earlier than taking the official road, just in time for Huaiyang to close the city."

Everyone looked at each other and reached an agreement, "Let's enter the city."

The horseshoes raised dust and galloped together.

However, sometimes the more you want to do the more you can't do it.

You can see the gate of Huaiyang City through this mountain gorge, but the speed of the people gradually slows down, and they can see the flags of the Escort Bureau flying from a distance, one hundred and eighty escorts guarding three or four caravans, leading the way is a young man with a high ponytail, holding a With a red spear/gun, it looks heroic and high-spirited.

Nangong Cheng glanced at his brows and said, "The Zhenyuan Bodyguard Bureau is quite courageous, they don't follow the official path, and they are not afraid of encountering gangsters! Taking advantage of the right time and place, even the [-] bodyguards may not be able to do anything. "

As soon as he finished speaking, the three reined in their horses and stopped abruptly, holding their weapons in their hands and looking towards the surrounding hills.

The group of people did not know how long they had been in ambush, and when the bodyguard team crossed the canyon and formed a line, they suddenly jumped out from the hill. Thousands of bandits swooped down densely, shouting loudly, and instantly cut the bodyguard team into several sections , break down one by one.

The group of them was neither far nor close, surrounded by seven or eight people.

Without further ado, Lin Yuezhi picked up the meteor hammer, glared at Nangong Cheng, and said angrily, "Young Master Nangong, let's say something better next time!"

Nangong Cheng touched his nose in embarrassment, and had no words to refute for a while.

Yan Guitian held the reins, looked at the hazy sky from a distance, and sighed for a while, "Next time... let's go the official way."
