beg for chivalry

Time flies like an arrow, and before they knew it, the two had traveled from playing in the apricot blossoms and willows to the cold pine days in Dongling.

The day has passed the beginning of winter, the sky is gray and white, the wind is blowing and the snow is blowing, and there is a vast expanse of whiteness all around.The streets and alleys were deserted and quiet, only a few children were left fighting the snowman in front of the Beast Head Courtyard.

Jin Wu lifted the curtain of the wine shop, and retreated to avoid the cold.These days, he seems to be a little indifferent to Yu Qiuxia, and often stares at Amano in a daze.Sometimes Ling Ge would bring a letter or two, Yu Qiuxia thought that it might be a secret order from Houtianlou, but he didn't try to talk too much.His young master is still a Houtianlou assassin, and he makes a living by licking blood with knives.

Yu Qiuxia held the knife and leaned against the door to watch the snow. At first it was just white dust, and then it fell down like a goose feather and spread all over the floor.He stared at Feixue, but felt that his eyes were foggy and he couldn't see clearly.

There is a faint pain between the viscera, like a needle prick.Yu Qiuxia knew that this was a kind of blind poison at work, and the poison was happening more and more frequently. He used to rely on the Jade Girl Heart Sutra to suppress it, but it has become more and more painful in recent days, like a knife cutting an axe.From spring to autumn, every day is like suffering on a griddle.

Just as he was in a daze, his back was suddenly pulled hard.Jin Wu forcefully dragged him into the wine shop, threw him on the long bench, and said angrily: "Look at the snow, drink with me."

It is strange to say that Jin Wu was only sixteen or seventeen years old at that time, but he had already developed a bad habit of drinking alcohol, which hurt his health very much.Besides, being drunk can make your hands and feet tremble, which is a big taboo for assassins.Yu Qiuxia also asked him to avoid this thing, but his young master didn't like to hear it.

Yu Qiuxia forced a smile and said, "I can't drink alcohol, young master. You should know that I'm just a drinker, so don't make things difficult for me."

Jin Wu sneered: "I'll be outside for a while, you can't drink alcohol. Who do we want to accommodate?"

This person really can't blow the cold wind, Yu Qiuxia saw that he had wrapped himself up like a rice dumpling since the first frost, huddled in the room all day long and refused to go out.No wonder there are rumors in the rivers and lakes that black-clothed Rakshasa don't kill people in winter. Some people guess that Rakshasa ghosts also hibernate in soil holes like bears and toads, and this is not true.

Yu Qiuxia thought about it seriously: "Why don't we accommodate together?"

There was a sudden snowfall outside the thatched cottage, the clouds were dense, the mist was drowsy, and huge snowflakes fell miscellaneously.The faces of the passers-by are sad, the wine is remnant and dances, and the world is gray.The wind is like a knife, and when it brushes against the face, it hurts unbearably, and the rest is freezing cold.

There were two people sitting in the snow puddle, their bodies covered with a layer of snow, shivering and huddled together.Snow foam fell from the air, and fell melodiously into the warm, still steaming wine.

Jin Wu was shivering from the cold, his nose was red.He clutched the brass stove in his bosom, huddled in a sable fur, stared at the opposite man with green eyes, and cursed: "Fuck you! Stupid! Stupid!" After cursing for a while, he continued Shrinking his neck angrily, he said, "Where is anyone coming out to drink and watch the snow at this time?"

Although it was facing the wind and snow, Ke Yuqiuxia was only wearing light single clothes and wrapped in a plain white robe, and he was still able to talk and laugh happily, which made Jinwu goose bumps.

Yu Qiuxia nodded: "Well, it's just the two of us."

Jin Wu rolled his eyes at him.He was dying of cold, and the dignified black-clothed Rakshasa actually drank to death with an idiot in a snowy day, he was really a laughingstock.

The wine enters the throat and intestines, scorching like fire, slightly relieving the chill in the body.The Golden Crow poured it into its belly cup after cup, full of worries, but just poured it out with wine.Although his face was calm, his heart was full of thoughts.There is a piece of cloth in the sleeve that has been rubbed thousands of times, with a slightly yellowed corner and dark red blood stains on it. It is also the source of his worries these days.

The two sat quietly for a while, Yu Qiuxia stared at Fenyang Feixue, and suddenly asked: "Master, I want to ask you something, would you like to listen?"

"Go ahead," Jin Wu poured out the wine, perhaps still angry, "...I won't listen."

Yu Qiuxia lowered her head and twisted the corners of her sleeves.Jin Wu didn't turn his face, but quietly moved over from the corner of his eye. "If there is a person who is dying from an intractable poison, what should I do?"

During this period of time, it was difficult for him to suppress the pain of one taste and one taste.If they travel together again, it's a trivial matter to reveal their secrets, but their lives are like a candle in the wind, and they won't last long.Yu Qiuxia's heart was fluctuating, and he felt that it was difficult to advance or retreat.

In the turbulent wind and snow, Jinwu just propped his chin and asked casually: "Who is that person you are talking about?"

"It doesn't count as anyone, it's nameless, it's just..."

"Does he have anything to do with me? Who is mine?" Jin Wu said, "If anyone else saves me, I should be a good person who saves the poor and saves the poor. ?”

Jin Wu picked up the white porcelain pot and slowly poured wine for them both.Yu Qiuxia caught a glimpse of his eyes as deep as green pools in the slightly rippling liquor, Jin Wu said in a low voice. "But I'm a wicked person. I can't even care about my own life and death, and it's hard to meddle in the lives of others."

Yu Qiuxia's heart was mixed like a mess, he thought, who is he from the Golden Crow?Although it is a close entanglement, it is also inseparable.There is a life-long friendship, but it seems that there is a natural barrier, and the estrangement is very deep.

While hesitating, Yu Qiuxia suddenly trembled all over.Jin Wu glanced over, his hair was covered with white snow, his eyelashes and the tip of his nose were covered with crystal snow foam, and his blue-green jade eyes were as cold as ice.The wind howled, cutting off the neighing of horses in the distance and the sound of pedestrians nearby, but in the wind and snow like a drumbeat, Yu Qiuxia could clearly hear a hoarse voice asking clearly.

"...Is that you?"

The wide-shouldered copper cup was reset on the ice with a crisp clang.Jin Wu suddenly raised his eyes, and looked at him calmly, as if piercing through the drifting snow, cooling his heart.

"Is that you you are talking about, Wang Xiaoyuan?"

Yu Qiuxia was speechless, but he was already intimidated by the other party's aggressiveness.What he wanted to hide was suddenly revealed, and he threw himself into the trap like a moth to a flame.

The Golden Crow's persecution continued, and it suddenly approached, with a cold light in its blue eyes, "You have been poisoned by an intractable poison, and your time is running out, so you want to ask me to save you? Or do you want to make side-effects and let me find the medicine with you?"

Yu Qiuxia shook her head in panic, "That's not the case..."

"How much is this?" Jin Wu asked abruptly.Yu Qiuxia was startled suddenly, his eyes were dim, and it was hard to see for a long time, maybe Jinwu had stretched his finger in front of his eyes before he knew it, to test whether he was suffering from eye diseases.

His eyes were dazed, as if surrounded by clouds and mist, Yu Qiuxia really couldn't see clearly, so he said bravely:

"…five."

Jin Wu sneered, "I didn't even extend my hand."

Yu Qiuxia remained silent, only feeling the Xiao Xiao cold wind go straight into his sleeves, icy cold to the bone.

There was the rustling sound of paper crumpling and unfolding nearby, Jin Wu sighed, but there was a sense of calm in the resentment. "Recently I intercepted the secret order of Houtianlou, do you know what is written on the letter?" He unfolded the hemp paper, sat next to Yu Qiuxia, and said cruelly, "You can't see it, I will read it with you.' In the Jianchen month of the Jihai year, the north and south of Zhuzhou were divided into three routes, and the ministries of gold, water and fire besieged and killed Tianshan Gate.'”

When these words fell in my ears, it sounded like an explosion and a crackling sound all the way.Yu Qiuxia took a breath, and it took him a long time to understand the meaning of these words.Tianshanmen and Houtianlou have been at odds for a long time, and he always felt that there should be a fierce battle, but he didn't know when it would happen.

Two years ago at the Martial League Conference, the Houtianlou Assassin wanted to attack Yu Jiachen and other Tianshanmen disciples. If he hadn't acted, he would have almost destroyed the chicks in their nests.

Now, the moment of this fierce battle has come unexpectedly.Since Zuo Buzheng wanted to destroy the monks of Panlong Mountain, Yecha has been stirring up the muddy water frequently in the rivers and lakes, intending to overthrow the Wumeng, and the thorn in the eye of Tianshan Gate will sooner or later be removed.

Yu Qiuxia tremblingly asked, "When did this happen?"

Jin Wu just smiled sarcastically: "You worry about your run-down sect, but I still work for my old club. Are you still waiting for a Hou Tian Lou assassin to tell you everything?"

In an instant, Yu Qiuxia was dumbfounded.Although Jinwu has memories of the past these days, he hasn't known how to tear up his face with Hou Tianlou. Thinking about it carefully, it may be that he has a heavy life debt, and Gui'an can't live a comfortable life.

Yu Qiuxia felt that his whole body was completely cold, and without saying a word, he raised the knife and was about to get up.He has done a lot to the Tianshan Gate in his life, and he must never watch the fire from the other side again.

At this time, Jinwu stretched out his hand, and pressed him into the snow suddenly.Yu Qiuxia was pulled out of balance by him, and she also staggered and fell into the snow puddle, only to see broken Qiong chaotic jade flying in the dark sky, cold snow foam rubbed on her neck, and it was a little itchy in the frozen numbness.Only Jinwu laughed and said: "Want to leave? No way."

This smug smile only stayed on his face for a moment, and it turned into unspeakable bitterness in an instant.Yu Qiuxia was dazed for a moment, thinking that he was going to get ruthless and grab her neck, but was suddenly hugged tightly.Jin Wu hugged him so tightly that the joints of both of them were creaking, and the hot hearts were beating violently in the tightly pressed chests.

"Forget it, let's both forget it. Tianshan Gate, Houtian Tower... Let them go," Jin Wu buried him behind his neck, whispering, "Leave the past behind and go to a place where no one will recognize you." .As you said, buy a big house and do nothing for a lifetime, and you will no longer be a jade white swordsman and a black-clothed Rakshasa."

"I'm going to find medicine for your eye disease, but you don't want to go back to Tianshan Gate. You are not right... If you meet her at this time, you will definitely die."

Jin Wu's voice seemed to be stained with the gloom and gloom of Tong Yun, trembling at the end of every sentence.After all, the two of them should be enemies, and they should meet each other in battle, instead of huddling together in such a winter day, drinking the same pot of wine.

Yu Qiuxia sat blankly for a long time, then shook his head slightly.

"I want to go back to Tianshan Gate."

Jin Wu didn't speak, he knew that this idiot would never let go of that sect hidden in the ice and snow field.Even if the people there treat him badly, they only treat him as a knife guarding the northwest.But if someone is in trouble, he will not sit idly by.

Yu Qiuxia smiled slightly, and reached out to touch Jinwu's cheek.It's icy cold, but there seems to be a hint of warmth. "Just protect them for a while, and after we're done, let's go and go back to Jiading to live comfortably for the rest of our lives."

"Is there any wine left, sir?"

Unexpectedly, Yubai Swordsman uttered such a sentence.He has never drunk at all, because according to his drinking capacity, he will be instantly drunk, but at this time he just wants to get drunk.Traveling together for more than a hundred days was like a dream, and now that they wake up from the dream, it's time for them to part ways and say goodbye to life and death.

Jin Wu looked back: "There is one last cup."

"One cup is enough."

Yu Qiuxia wanted to reach out his hand in the trance, but what he handed over was not a wine cup, but warm lips filled with wine.Jin Wu grabbed his head, bit his lips fiercely, and poured the strong liquor into his mouth.

In the majestic wind, they wrestled together like wild animals.The spirit was pungent and bitter, and it seemed to flow into the bottom of my heart.
