beg for chivalry

Two days passed in a blink of an eye, this morning Wang Xiaoyuan was packing his luggage in the servant's room.He rarely goes out and has little experience.After picking up some clothes and getting some money from Aunt Mu, he was at a loss for what to do.

While he was thinking about what to do next, he walked towards the woodshed involuntarily.At this time, the staff of Dongchu was busy with breakfast, and he carried some firewood but forgot to padlock the door, so Wang Xiaoyuan stepped in ignorantly.He was fined a lot by Young Master Jin on weekdays, and this firewood room has probably become the place he is most familiar with and the most at ease, so he lay on the firewood pile as before, silently looking at the small window.

Gotta get out of here.

For some unknown reason, Wang Xiaoyuan felt one part sad, two part reluctance, and three part tenderness in his heart.He thought of those days when he read some poems and ditties in the firewood room, he thought of Sanniang serving him medicine and food under the moonlight, smiling, he also thought of the howling wind, the biting snow, and the intertwined lights of knives. Shu Ying, the past is vivid in his mind, like a fleeting moment, but it is unforgettable in his heart.

But after all, we have to leave!

The previous joyful mood fell silent for some reason, and the young servant let out a long breath, turned over and jumped off the woodpile.He looked around, feeling a feeling of emptiness that was different from before.He didn't even think about who, what, and what he would face after leaving here, as if a fog of fog hung in his heart.

At this moment, a crisp voice suddenly came from outside the window.

"Hero Wang, you are leaving!"

After the words were finished, there was a burst of human voices chirping like birds. Wang Xiaoyuan looked towards the small window of the firewood room in surprise, and found that there were several little ashen-faced heads crowded there. Went to the tree to see him.

"Let's go today..." Wang Xiaoyuan's voice was a little hesitant and frustrated, but when he saw them smiling and swaying on the branches, he puffed his cheeks and said loudly. "You climbed the tree again, are you really afraid of falling, come down quickly!"

The child Wang Xixi said with a smile. "You ask your Young Master Jin to open the gate, so we don't have to bother with this old tree. Why, don't dare to call! Then let's talk here more happily."

"What do you want to say?" Wang Xiaoyuan thought in his heart that these little tricksters really understood his mind, if he was to beg Jinwu, he would rather be slapped two hundred times by Aunt Mu.

"Of course it's a farewell celebration. It's a great joy to be kicked out of the house by Young Master Jin!" The children looked at him like a fool, "Oh, it's a pity that you won't be able to play with us in the future. There is one less It's not fun to be beaten."

After they pretended to lament for a while, they suddenly shouted again. "However, we will still come and take care of Sanniang for you, and we won't miss the job of playing tricks on Young Master Jin, just feel free to go on the road."

Wang Xiaoyuan was speechless, and after a long silence, he smiled wryly. "You should practice martial arts with your heart..."

After the young martial artist came, the martial arts gym in the village could no longer be used, and the old Huang Fang was injured. From now on, no one should be able to take care of these naughty bastards.The boy servant began to worry about unnecessary things: what would happen to the children when he was gone?Maybe some of them will follow their parents to work in the fields, and some will continue to live in the streets and alleys, and he is worried about those unknown situations for no reason.

But the children didn't know what he was thinking, they just said in one go: "Hey, Xiao Yuan. You have to be careful on this road, look at your honesty, you will be deceived and you can't find your way." fool!"

Wang Xiaoyuan shook his head helplessly for wanting these yellow-haired children to teach him a lesson, then rolled up his sleeves and pretended to be complacent. "Your Wang Daxia has invincible sword skills. Whether it's a liar or a bandit, he can beat them to death. Humph, if someone wants to lie to me, I will teach him how powerful this sword is!"

Unexpectedly, the children were not in a hurry to mock him this time. They huddled together and muttered for a while. When the young servant turned around, he found that they were all frowning.

"This is the truth... I heard from my parents that it is very chaotic outside, the miasma is rampant, and the snow is heavier than in previous years. They all said that there was a mistake in the neighboring village's remuneration, and Fairy Wu Jie was offended. And ...There are also some mysterious pilgrims who often come here, and Mr. Private School said that those are people from Luo Taoism and Wuwei Sect..."

Seeing their hesitation, Wang Xiaoyuan couldn't help laughing.Although he believes in gods and ghosts, he doesn't think that the turmoil outside must be caused by gods and ghosts. After all, the chivalrous stories he loves to hear are all written and acted by people, and he doesn't take these nonsense things to heart over time. .

But then, his ears suddenly caught a word.

"...It seems that there are still people in Houtianlou."

Waiting for the sky.

Wang Xiaoyuan's heart sank for no reason.

He knows what that means.No matter in which storyteller's mouth, which passage is deduced, Houtianlou means evil spirits.People in Houtianlou are the most shady people in the world, and they are also the people who shouldn't be seen in the world. They burn, kill, loot, and commit all kinds of evil.If I really meet him on the road, I'm afraid I won't even have a chance to protect myself.

But then he thought about it: the world is so big, maybe when he becomes an old man with all white beard and hair, he might not meet this group of evil spirits, so he became happy again and said cheerfully. "You little brains, you worry about things that never happened. Let's go, let's go, you play your tricks, I'm going back to pack my bags."

Unexpectedly, I didn't hear the children's answer this time.Wang Xiaoyuan looked up to the small window of the firewood room, but was really surprised:

I saw a young man who didn't know when he was sitting cross-legged among the branches, brushing off the snow flakes leisurely and contentedly.It was Wu Litian who fought him to the death a few days ago!The children saw him jumping up the tree without anyone noticing, and sat beside him generously. Thinking of his arrogance a few days ago, they trembled all over and dared not breathe a bit.

Seeing Wang Xiaoyuan's gaze, the young man curled his mouth and bowed.

"Brother Wang, let's talk before parting, okay?"

Today's Wu Litian is really extraordinary.

When the young servant secretly took him to the backyard, he thought so.Afraid of being scolded by Young Master Jin, he still bit the bullet and invited the young martial artist in by himself.Fortunately, the entire Jin Mansion was very busy today, and no one noticed that he was resting and not working, and even brought an outsider in.

The vermilion official uniform worn on Wu Litian's body a few days ago is gone, this martial artist is wearing a raw shirt today, the loose clothes cover his strong body, he looks very relaxed.Although the arrogance is still there, there is no previous killing intent.Although he was still carrying the inseparable Tie Shu on his back, it seems that this martial artist has restrained himself very much today.

Just as Wang Xiaoyuan was muttering in his heart why the martial artist came here, his pupils trembled suddenly——

I saw Wu Litian kneeling directly in front of him.

This kneeling frightened the servant quite a bit.It seemed that a thunderbolt exploded in Xiao Yuan's heart—the son of the martial arts leader, the court officials actually knelt down for him today!Wu Litian has always been proud and arrogant, if a man has gold under his knees, then Wu Litian's kneeling must be worth a thousand pieces of gold, Wang Xiaoyuan doesn't have the wealth of a thousand pieces of gold, and he doesn't have the courage to kneel down.So his face changed suddenly, and he hurriedly asked.

"Master Wu, why is this..."

Wu Litian looked up at him, then buried his head down again, his voice sounded very serious.

"Please allow me to worship you as my teacher."

Wang Xiaoyuan felt dizzy, blinked his eyes, and rubbed his cheeks vigorously with his palms, realizing that he was not dreaming before hesitating to speak.

"...Apprenticeship?"

God knows what it means for this young man to kowtow to him for advice.Wu Litian is different from ordinary bums who travel around the rivers and lakes. Even if he has not inherited the Juntian swordsmanship in his family, his water-avoiding spear is still superb. He can be called a rising star in today's martial arts. The leader of the alliance is Wu Wugong.And now this person who looks like the proud son of heaven actually lowered his proud head to him, it must be a great determination.

What's more, it's not good to worship someone as a teacher, but to worship him, a clumsy little servant who knows nothing about martial arts!

Wu Litian still lowered his head and said. "A few days ago, I was blind and didn't know Brother Wang's sword technique. I hope you will give me some advice."

Wang Xiaoyuan blinked his eyes, shook his head in distress for a while, and then said in a trembling voice. "I... I don't have the ability to give you advice. Besides, Mr. Wu has read all kinds of martial arts, so he naturally knows that I am not good at martial arts, and my sword skills are very superficial."

"It is precisely because I have read almost all the world's martial arts that I know that Brother Wang's attainments are so profound. When it comes to sword techniques, it can be said to be the pinnacle." Wu Litian said resolutely.

Once the young martial artist let go of his airs, a little amiable color appeared on his face.But the stubbornness in his bones has not changed. If he decides on one thing, he must pursue it to the end.

Seeing that Wang Xiaoyuan was still looking distressed, he sneered, got up, dusted off his body, and swaggered around the backyard of the Jin Mansion.

"If the master finds it difficult, then in front of outsiders, I will not be called a master and a disciple, but a brother. Don't worry, master, I have already broken away from the Wumeng, and Wu Wugong will not trouble you. But if you want to borrow a copy Li...my group of imperial servants can be ordered by you."

Even the master called him immediately.

Wang Xiaoyuan muttered to himself.This young martial artist was really capricious and unexpected, he knelt down immediately, and suddenly joined the teacher's school, and he was caught off guard by having an additional apprentice.He was a little confused, and his face showed the same confused expression as before.

Wu Litian stared at him for a while, and suddenly let out a hearty laugh.

"Ha - you don't think that I, Wu Litian, are a villain who only cares about seniority. I am used to doing whatever I want. If I want to compete with anyone, I have to force the other party to show me my sword; if I want to be my teacher, I have to die. Stalk until that person agrees. Even if it is a baby, if he can convince me to defeat, then I have to respect him as a senior. Master, you have surpassed me in sword skills, and you are my teacher. Don't deny it!"

He is really a character who acts recklessly and carefree like in the legends of the rivers and lakes.Wang Xiaoyuan thought, feeling less repulsive towards this person in his heart.Earlier, he heard from Aunt Mu that Wu Litian went to the martial arts gym again after leaving the Golden Mansion, allocated some money to repair it, and asked someone to heal the old yellow tooth that he injured that day.At that time he was thinking: Maybe Wu Litian is not bad in nature, but it is really a headache when he is wanton and casual.

So the young servant sighed, clasped his fists and said. "I see, everything is according to Master Wu's will. It's just... I don't know how to shoot, so I'm afraid I can't give Master Wu advice."

Wu Litian said: "Soldiers come second, people come first. I think Master, when you hold the saber, what you are looking at is not the saber, but the flow of 'Qi' in the limbs and bones. This is not a serious problem."

It's okay to have a good one!Wang Xiaoyuan nodded ignorantly.Wu Litian is really as talented as the rumors say, he knows everything.He had already noticed when the two were fighting before that this young man could understand the essence of martial arts just by looking at him, and his progress could be described as rapid.At that time, he had made one strike, and Wu Litian was able to prevent the next strike.

"But Master Wu also knows...I'm leaving the Jin Mansion today, and I'm afraid I won't be returning here in the near future." The young servant asked cautiously.

Hearing this, Wu Litian was thoughtful, but he was not in a hurry to answer.I saw him pacing to the side of the withered willow in the courtyard, raised his hand and randomly picked a branch, said.

"I walk with Master."
