Wulin Xiaohui

Xu Lian was dressed in Tsing Yi, with a cold expression, in his 40s, he could only be 35 or [-] in appearance, with a white face and no beard, he stared at Sha Qinghe as soon as he entered the door, but he said to Ye Zang and Shen Yizhou: "Get out of the way, I'm looking for you!" He is the only one."

Shen Yizhou hurriedly said: "Hero Xu, all this is a misunderstanding! Brother Qinghe was wronged!"

As if Xu Lian hadn't heard it, he was unmoved at all, and pointed his sword at Sha Qinghe: "Hand over the Duanfengdao, and I can keep your whole body."

Sha Qinghe wanted to say something more, but Xu Lian approached him involuntarily, using a set of non-fancy swordsmanship to directly kill him.

When the sword tip was only half a finger away from Sha Qinghe, it was blocked by a long sword inserted obliquely, Ye Zang pushed Xu Lian's sword away, turned around and said to Sha Qinghe, "Go quickly."

Hearing this, Shen Yizhou took Sha Qinghe's hand and fled it out of the window.Xu Lian raised his sword and wanted to chase him, but was blocked by Ye Zang. Ye Zang's swordsmanship was fierce, so Xu Lian could only concentrate on fighting with him.

On the other side, Shen Yizhou dragged Sha Qinghe and ran all the way, until he fled to the western outskirts of the city before stopping to gasp for breath.

"Qing, brother Qinghe, I don't think Ye Zang will be able to delay for long. You run outside the city first, and I will delay him here for a while."

Sha Qinghe shook his head, and said: "Yizhou, I think Xu Lian's sword is a killer move just now, if I really escape, maybe he will kill you too, I'd better wait for him here."

"No, you also said that his moves are fatal, if he sees you again, you will die!"

Shen Yizhou was silent for a long time, and said: "A scholar dies for his confidant, you know me..."

"Bullshit! I won't let you die for me."

"green…"

"Don't say any more, I can't promise!"

When Xu Lian chased all the way to this place, what he saw was this scene: Sha Qinghe and Shen Yizhou sat side by side with their heads tilted as if angry.

Xu Lian casually placed the unconscious Ye Zang on the ground, and stood in front of Sha Qinghe: "Hand over the Duanfengdao."

Sha Qinghe didn't move: "Impossible, you killed me."

Xu Lian looked at Sha Qinghe's expression and said, "What kind of tricks are you playing? Uncle said that you are scheming and eloquent. If one day you betray your master, don't have any arguments with you and kill you directly." , So, what you say now is useless."

Sha Qinghe's eyes lit up: "Master mentioned me?"

Xu Lian said disdainfully: "He told me that you are a man with two heads and two heads, and you have a rebellious face. Although you usually pretend to be very good, you will betray your teacher one day. I didn't expect his words to come true so soon."

Sha Qinghe was surprised: "What?"

But Xu Lian didn't respond anymore, he raised his sword and stabbed.

However, Shen Yizhou rushed to Sha Qinghe: "Xu Daxia, listen to Brother Qinghe's explanation first!"

Xu Lian sneered and said, "I've made him talk too much, all I want is the knife and his life."

"Then please Daxia Xu pass my test first." Shen Yizhou stood in front of Sha Qinghe, crossing his sword.

Xu Lian looked at the young man in front of him. He knew that the other party's martial arts were inferior to his own, but he didn't see a trace of fear and retreat from his face. Xu Lian secretly admired him, but said: "Then I will kill you first, and then kill you." he."

Unexpectedly, Shen Yizhou grabbed his sword and didn't resist. Instead, he sat down on the ground and said indifferently: "If you want to kill, kill it. Anyway, it's meaningless to live."

Xu Lian did not move the sword in his hand, maintaining the previous posture, waiting for Shen Yizhou to say the next sentence.

Shen Yizhou didn't speak again, even closed his eyes, as if he was letting him do what he wanted.

Xu Lian lifted the sword and put it on Shen Yizhou's neck. Looking at his expression of seeing death as his home, he felt very unfulfilling. He seemed to understand why he felt something was wrong when he saw the young man bravely going to death. This person, faintly yearns for death .

Shen Yizhou closed his eyes, and said again: "Master Gu said that Qinghe is the only person who can display the true strength of Duanfengdao."

"Forget it." Xu Lian put his sword back into its sheath suddenly.

When Shen Yizhou heard the movement, he opened his eyes and saw Xu Lian's back.

"Hero Xu, are you not going to kill me?"

"Xu doesn't kill people who want to die."

Xu Lian left after saying those words, leaving Shen Yizhou, who escaped from death, stunned in place.

Xu Lian took a few steps forward, then backed away, and walked in the direction of Sha Qinghe.

Shen Yizhou stood up and wanted to stop him, but Xu Lian pushed him away: "I can promise you that I won't kill him, but I want to ask him a few questions."

Shen Yizhou hurriedly turned his head to look at Sha Qinghe, Sha Qinghe would give him a comforting look, Shen Yizhou put down his arms and let Xu Lian pass by.

Xu Lian didn't go any further, but turned around, leaving a back and a sentence: "Come here, I'll ask you a few words."

Sha Qinghe quickly followed and followed Xu Lian to a place a little further away.

Shen Yizhou stared blankly at the two of them walking away, from his position he could only see that the two seemed to be talking.

Shen Yizhou was stunned for a long time, then suddenly remembered the unconscious Ye Zang.Looking down, he found that the person was already awake, looking at himself with half-open eyes.

"you're awake?"

Ye Zang's expression was very strange: "Is what you said just now true?"

"Huh? That sentence?"

"You let him kill you."

Shen Yizhou patted him on the shoulder and said with a smile: "How is it possible?! I just can't beat him, and I want to see if I can escape like this."

Seeing Ye Zang's dubious expression, Shen Yizhou put on a hurt look: "I'm going to die for you, shouldn't you be so moved that you cry bitterly? Why is there such a face?"

But Ye Zang didn't answer his words, and looked at him carefully in silence, Shen Yizhou's hairs stood on end, and he had the illusion that a hole was burned in his face by his gaze.

Shen Yizhou couldn't take it anymore, complained vaguely, and stomped away.

Ye Zang was behind him, with the same expression just now, watching his back as he left.

Shen Yizhou walked a few steps, but came back, squatted down and checked Ye Zang up and down: "Where is the injury? Is it serious?"

Ye Zang waved his hand: "Ahem, it's nothing serious, I vomited some blood, just rest for a while and it will be fine."

Shen Yizhou lifted him up and helped him to lean against the tree.

"Are we sharing weal and woe like this?"

Shen Yizhou was pulling Ye Zang's wrist to feel his pulse, when he heard this, he replied without thinking, "Of course."

Ye Zang smiled, but accidentally affected the wound on his body, and couldn't help coughing.Shen Yizhou hurriedly patted him on the back, while sighing: "Since we met, this is the first time I've seen you in such a mess."

The two chatted for a while, only to see Xu Lian and Sha Qinghe walking over together, both of them seemed to be relatively peaceful.

"I will investigate this matter thoroughly, and don't leave until I come back." Xu Lian left after saying this, leaving behind the three people who survived the catastrophe.

Sha Qinghe received the questioning gazes of the two, and explained: "He didn't fully believe what I said, but he promised not to kill me for the time being, and wait until he finds out the truth."

Shen Yizhou breathed a sigh of relief: "Finally, I have saved my life, so I can rest assured from now on."

Ye Zang glanced at him and said, "Don't be too happy, in case he finds out facts that are not good for Brother Sha..."

Ye Zang stopped at this point, and the three of them felt a little apprehensive, but there was no better way at this time, so they could only take one step at a time.

Because Sha Qinghe insisted on staying in Dingzhou to wait for Xu Lian, he believed that Xu Lian could find out the truth and clear his innocence.Shen Yizhou was worried, and several of them stayed in Dingzhou temporarily.Fortunately, Dingzhou City has been a place with high mountains and magnificent lakes and mountains since ancient times. Since decades ago, it has been a place where literati and inkmen love to stop and admire, and it is known as a place of outstanding people.

A group of five people plus Sha Qinghe traveled around Dingzhou, and took Xiuxiu to eat all kinds of snacks in the city. Counting them, they were even more exhausted than driving in a carriage. However, eating, drinking and having fun is a great joy in life, and it is easy to ignore the exhaustion in it.After Xu Lian left, Sha Qinghe ended his life of hiding and stayed in the same inn, and there was naturally another person in Ye Zang's big carriage.

During this period of time, Xiuxiu and Ye Zang had a good relationship, because Ye Zang often bought her sweets, and she was called Uncle Tangqiu.

An interesting thing happened during this time.

A storyteller who claimed to be a know-it-all came to the inn and set up a booth to tell anecdotes about the world, such as how the world's number one beauty, Yu Wuxia, married an unknown blacksmith out of a whim. It tells the love story of Zhang Zhishuo, who was born with supernatural powers, and Ye Xiaoming, a famous prostitute in the south of the Yangtze River, and Zhu Yan, a generation of swordsmen who almost lost his life because of being bitten by a snake on Mount Emei.

The stories told by this storyteller are patchwork, and anyone with a discerning eye can tell that they are not true. However, most of Dingzhou City are some scholars and poets, and they have unrealistic expectations and fantasies about these rivers and lakes. The stories that don't go by are also accepted as they are ordered.

Shen Yizhou joined in the fun and listened with relish for a few days, and sometimes he could hear some acquaintances being arranged into unreasonable plots, which was quite interesting.Hearing the highlights, Shen Yizhou would even stand up to echo and applaud, he came and went, and became familiar with the storyteller.

Ye Zang likes to be quiet, and he is not interested in storytelling and singing. I can't stand these made up stories, I'd rather sleep in my room than listen to them.

One day, the storyteller didn't leave immediately after telling the story, closed the stall, ordered a jug of wine and some side dishes, found a seat next to Shen Yizhou, and started eating and drinking.

Shen Yizhou was drinking alone, when he saw the storyteller was seated, he smiled and complimented him: "The story you told is so wonderful!"

The storyteller was eating vegetables with his head down, when he heard the words, he looked up at Shen Yizhou, and said: "It's all made up."

"Ah?" Shen Yizhou never thought that this person would be so frank, "Aren't you a neighbor of Jianghu Bai Xiaosheng?"

The man took a sip of the wine, savored it carefully, and smacked his lips: "It's true that I'm his neighbor, but we don't have a good relationship."

The storyteller put vegetables into his mouth while talking: "Bai Xiaosheng knows how to throw things out of the window when he doesn't go out all day long. Tsk tsk, what he throws is the best Huizhou rice paper, not only into the courtyard Throwing it in, and throwing it outside the courtyard wall, saying a few words to him is not happy, and he doesn't look like a scholar at all, vulgar and rude."

Shen Yizhou didn't expect that Bai Xiaosheng really existed. He thought it was a gimmick thought up by the bookstores that printed books, and he didn't expect that Bai Xiaosheng lived in the market and even quarreled with his neighbors.

"This…"

"I'll use his fame to come out and tell stories to earn some money." The storyteller leaned close to Shen Yizhou's ear and said mysteriously, "Actually, I haven't been back to my hometown for five years."

Shen Yizhou was amazed and found it interesting, he asked: "Bai Xiaosheng doesn't go out all day long, so how did he know about these things that happened in Jianghu?"

"Speaking of which is even more irritating, he has more than 100 carrier pigeons in the backyard. Do you know how noisy the pigeons are? They coo all day long and shit everywhere, cough!" the storyteller poured into his mouth. After taking a sip of the wine, he talked nonsense about the dangers of pigeons and thirteen ways to do pigeons, but he said with a sad expression.

"However, the story of the most beautiful woman in the world that Mr. told is really fascinating, and it makes people think about it."

The storyteller smiled, and said ruthlessly: "The first half of this is true, but I heard that Yu Wuxia gave birth to a daughter within half a year after marrying the blacksmith, but according to me, it is as good as marrying Yu Wuxia. Beauty, what's the big deal even raising someone else's child!"

Shen Yizhou admired: "Mr. is free and easy."

The storyteller chuckled, as if he was overwhelmed with alcohol, his eyes gradually became slack, and he said inarticulately: "Drunk, drunk..." and fell headlong.

Shen Yizhou sat down and ate some food and wine, but the storyteller sat up slowly after a while, picked up chopsticks and ate some food.

"Bai Xiaosheng, old boy, I'm going to beat him up when we get back."

Shen Yizhou stood up, walked up the stairs silently while he was not paying attention, and slipped away.
