beg for chivalry

The morning breeze is carrying the smoke from the kitchen, and there is a hint of warm noodle fragrance wrapped in the coolness. There are more and more vendors on the streets of Chili, bustling like ants.Outside the hut by the river stood a few sweeping women, holding ladles and pouring water on the rocky ground. The bright white water droplets splashed and bloomed dark flower-like marks on the blue bricks.

Wang Xiaoyuan parked the carriage in front of a medicine shop about seven rooms in size, went into the carriage and tucked up the big cloak covering Jinwu's body, took out some broken silver from his purse, turned around and jumped off the bed, and ran into the medicine shop.Most of the medicine given by Wu Langzhong was decocted yesterday, and the name of the medicine was written on the paper package, so he had to prepare some more.

The clerk in the shop looked at the prescription on the paper package, and tossed and tossed for a long time to get the medicine and powder from the cabinet for him. Wang Xiaoyuan glanced out the door inadvertently, and saw two people seem to flash past the phoenix tree. Ying, stopped beside the car for a moment.Those two people seemed a bit weird, although they were dressed in coarse linen, but they were driving two fine horses with long reins.Wang Xiaoyuan's eyesight was dim, but he became suspicious first, he hurriedly packed up the medicine bag at hand and stepped out of the door in a hurry.

"Who?"

He yelled several times in succession, but there was no movement.Wang Xiaoyuan was full of doubts, put his hand on the handle of the knife wrapped with cloth around his waist, and turned around the car twice.But only when the curtain moved slightly and the curtain rippled in the wind, Wang Xiaoyuan stuffed the curtain into the car, but when he turned around, he heard a clerk in the medicine shop calling him.

"Guest, your powder is finished, I will wrap it in mulberry paper for you, is it ready?"

"...Success!" Wang Xiaoyuan responded hastily, and then glanced away, and saw people coming and going on the street, all of them were peddlers in jackets and linen trousers, sweating and shouting to the passers-by, so he reluctantly suppressed Confused, he turned and ran into the shop.

Wu Langzhong's prescriptions are weird, although they seem to be some commonly used herbs, the dosage is not conventional.However, after giving the Golden Crow a drink a few times before, it stopped vomiting blood, so it can be believed.The clerk wrapped the white thread a few times, handed the mulberry paper bag to Wang Xiaoyuan, and said with surprise: "This medicine looks very strong, do I need to grind it? Maybe it will hurt the stomach, or make a decoction." good."

Wang Xiaoyuan smiled hesitantly, "I'm also following the doctor's prescription, and I have the right to use it. Thank you very much."

He left the pharmacy with the medicine bun in his pocket.The paper bag was heavy, Wang Xiaoyuan thought about it, and decided to put the paper bag on the rattan chair in the car, so he stepped on the shackles and lifted the curtain to get inside.

But as soon as Fang got into the carriage, the carriage started to shake slightly.In the front room, there was a faint shout of "Die, Die", and at the same time, only a few rattles of willow branches could be heard. It was actually someone driving a horse and driving!Under the turbulence, Wang Xiaoyuan knocked his head on the shed, staring at his eyes. When he came back to his senses, he hurriedly rolled into the car.

Before he could think about who sneaked into the front room, he heard a gentle but ironic voice laughing:

"...Don't be safe, Jin Xiaoyuan."

Wang Xiaoyuan raised his head abruptly, but his hands and feet were already cold and sweaty, and he trembled uncontrollably.He first caught a glimpse of a cloth brocade black boot on the carriage, the other foot was slightly upturned, and a man was sitting on the rattan chair, wearing a gold bead collar and hibiscus brocade dress, his eyes were smiling like crescent moons, Looking at him with a smile.

This man was born exactly like the Golden Crow, similar in every way, except for his two eyes with a gloomy light.Wang Xiaoyuan glanced at the inside of the car in sudden shock, it was empty, it seemed that there were only the two of them.

In an instant, there seemed to be frost and snow falling on the top, which chilled half of my heart first.The man smiled and turned the small glazed lamp in his hand, and raised his chin slightly to signal him. "sit."

After a while, Wang Xiaoyuan got up vigilantly and sat down slowly opposite the man.The car was still shaking, and they looked at each other intently, and they could vaguely hear the sound of wicker being pulled vigorously on the horse hide. Someone was sitting in the front room driving the car, and it seemed that many sheds were knocked over along the way, and the lettuce color Clay pots and dishes were smashed into powder, and they were also loudly scolded by the peddlers whose body was bruised by the horse's hoof.

Che Yu was flying away, but the room between the two was silent and tense.After a long time, Wang Xiaoyuan said vigilantly, "Master... where is the Golden Crow?"

He didn't know when the Houtianlou assassins discovered the whereabouts of the two of them, let alone someone took the opportunity to transfer the people in the car.The Golden Crow who was sleeping here before has disappeared, perhaps it was taken away by the Houtianlou assassins.

Yan Jiubian looked at him with a smile, and calmly unfolded a fan in his hand, covering his chin.There is a long snake painted on the fan, with two heads and colorful colors, which seems to be frivolous in the scriptures of magic.The strange thing is that one snake head closed its eyes and rested its mind, it seemed to be extremely docile, while the other had sharp fangs, biting wildly.He patted himself with the fan handle and said with a smile, "Aren't you here?"

"You are not young master." Wang Xiaoyuan said, sharp and violent sparks seemed to burst out of his eyes instantly.

"You're not Jin Xiaoyuan, nor are you Yujiachen." Yan Jiubian said with a chill in his smile, "Yes, Yu Qiuxia."

"I met once in Qianjiazhuang, and once in the Tianfu mansion. You have many names, and now I can finally see your true face. It is really an honor." The assassin in brocade clothes was full of interest. Staring at him, his whole body tensed up like a leopard hunting its prey.

At this time, it can be said to be on the verge of firing, as if there is a shadow of sword, light and sword hidden in the breath.Wang Xiaoyuan remained motionless, he and Yan Jiubian were like two people solidified by solid ice, staring at each other with their own thoughts.The car shook more and more violently, maybe the hemp wrapping the back-riveted wooden wheels fell off, and they were all surging like a sea tide in the midst of the bumps, secretly thinking about the next step.

"...when did you come?"

"It's been there from the beginning," Yan Jiubian said while playing with the glass cup, looking at Wang Xiaoyuan with cold eyes, "Hou Tianlou's net, could it be possible to teach you two moths to escape?"

But this made Wang Xiaoyuan half-believing.He knew that no one had followed him and Jinwu in the past two days, maybe he was accidentally bumped into by the Houtianlou assassin when he entered the pharmacy in Chengyi, so he tipped off the news to Yan Jiubian.

"What happened to you, Jin Wubei?"

Yan Jiubian slowly touched the paper pleats of the pinched fan, folded them vigorously and then flattened them carefully, "I was taken away by the other assassins because I wanted to talk to you two, it's not good to have a third person here " He smiled coldly, "But you can also think that I'm using him to blackmail you."

Wang Xiaoyuan looked at him, suddenly relaxed from the tension, and asked with a smile: "Who are you?"

Yan Jiubian's smile froze for a moment, "What do you mean?"

"You also recognize that you are not the young master. Then there should be a name for me to call you, otherwise it will be a bit weird." Wang Xiaoyuan sighed slightly.

"Black-clothed Rakshasa." Yan Jiubian replied after a pause.

"Isn't that your name? Do you use someone else's name to refer to yourself? You will always mind if you wear something that is not your own."

Yan Jiubian looked at him coldly, as if he wanted to see two holes in the servant's smiling face.After a long time, his cheeks moved slightly, and he almost gritted his teeth and said, "... Shui Jiu."

Wang Xiaoyuan put his hands together, with a small dimple on his face, and said with a smile: "Shui Jiu, this is just the title of Houtianlou, what about your original name? It's more interesting than this, after all It was my parents, not Zuozhu, who started it."

"What does this have to do with you?" Yan Jiubian suddenly changed color as if he had touched the scales, and slammed his palm on the rattan board, shaking the car immediately.At this time, bloodshot eyes appeared in his eyes, and the pretentious smile from before was wiped away. "It's a long story, does my name matter? What do you think you want to talk to me about? What's wrong with your old friend and how are you going to save him!"

This also caused Wang Xiaoyuan to restrain his smile for a while, the corners of his mouth gradually softened, and he finally sat up straight.Seeing his cool eyes, Yan Jiubian also sneered, holding the fan handle again to cover half of his face.

For a long time, Wang Xiaoyuan said. "What do you want to do?"

Yan Jiubian slowly fluttered and pinched his fan, and said: "It's nothing, it's just sending you back to Tianfu. Didn't you sign up for the marriage meeting of the son of the martial arts leader under a pseudonym? I'll send you back, and you will replace him Do good things, it's good for us."

Wang Xiaoyuan gave a dry laugh. "What is Houtianlou planning? Do you want to imprison Zaixia in Tianfu?"

"Yes, because I can't move you, Yubai Swordsman. Even the entire Water Ministry, you are like an egg hitting a rock, but I think you don't want to die." Yan Jiubian laughed, and he leaned over, His dark eyes met Wang Xiaoyuan, "Hou Tianlou can't move you, but it can move Jin Wu. Look at him, it's really pitiful, there's nothing left, dragging a broken body, one dying life, and now I am talking to you as a proton."

Yan Jiubian stretched out five fingers, and casually showed the silver ring at the root of the finger to Wang Xiaoyuan, with a sly smile on his lips. "I just want you to do one thing - stay in Tianfu obediently during this time, so I will return your old friendship to you, how about it?"

This is not polite, but more like a threat.Wang Xiaoyuan just propped his chin and smiled, "Master Shui Jiu was joking, you don't know the poison of blindness and heartbreak, if it's time for Hou Tianlou to do all the evil things, Jin Wu would be a dead body long ago. What's more How can I know his life and death, so that I can know that what you said is true?"

"You don't need to know how he lived or died. See clearly, Yubai Swordsman, you defeated me twice, but this time I won the upper hand." Yan Jiubian said with a smile on his face, the strings on the silver ring were Glittering in the sunlight, it spreads all over the car like a spider's thread, and many sticks protrude from the window, wrapping silently around the neck of the street peddler, and can cut off a person's head with just a light pull.The peddlers didn't notice anything, they still sang the four-line song in a low voice, lowered their heads and moved the burden on their shoulders and the sweaty linen shirt, not knowing that they were entangled by the deadly lifeline.

Yan Jiubian lightly tapped the silver thread with his fingertips as if playing, leaving a few bloodstains on the pedestrian's neck while trembling slightly.Most of the peddlers are rough men, thinking it was just a mosquito bite, they scratched them a few times, but they didn't know that their lives were in danger.

The ghost's face was buried in the shadow of Che Yu, with a smile like a hissing poisonous snake, and said, "Yubai Swordsman, your sword skills are indeed the best in the world, but you are a flawed jade. You You can't see other people dying, even if that person has no relatives or reason with you, you won't let me kill people here for nothing."

"If you don't want me to take the lives of innocent people, it's better to follow Hou Tianlou's wishes, otherwise..." Yan Jiubian snapped his index finger, pulling a silver thread.The thread was being wound around a peddler's neck, and the cold light was seen, and a life was about to be strangled in an instant!

"...how else?"

Wang Xiaoyuan just asked calmly.He was leaning against the window at this time, next to a thin bamboo trellis, the sunlight fell on his face in fragments, half of his face was covered in shadow, making it even more cloudy and uncertain.

In an instant, Yan Jiubian's expression changed suddenly, and the silver ring on the base of his finger suddenly loosened and split, as if an invisible sharp sword cut off all the silver thread in an instant.The silver string has been broken into pieces at some point, falling like drizzle, falling on the bluestone paving bricks.The peddlers still didn't know what happened, they were still holding their boudoirs in their hands, pushing the carts and moving slowly, yelling for goods one after another.

Yan Jiubian's eyes trembled slightly, and finally fell on Wang Xiaoyuan.The other party looked like a simple and ubiquitous servant, dressed in a plain white cross-collar jacket, with white silk tied up his hair, soft and peaceful eyebrows, his eyes seemed to be covered with a layer of water when looking at people.With his hand on the hilt of the saber, Yan Jiubian didn't even see when he drew the saber, but he clearly knew that the man pulled the saber out of its sheath in an instant and cut off all the silver threads in his hand !

Wang Xiaoyuan smiled peacefully at him, "Don't worry about others. If you need anything, come to me first."
