beg for chivalry

The sky and the earth turned into a blank white, the noise of the crowd and the rumble of chariots and horses seemed to be far away from Yu Yi, and he was thrown into a quiet and silent world.

Yu Yi lowered his head in a daze, and saw blood drops slipping from Shui Shijiu's fingertips, shattering on the stone steps one by one, like beads with broken threads.He staggered and almost fell to his knees immediately.

Shui Shijiu stepped forward, seemed to be discussing something with the other two assassins with a smile, and Yu Yiwei caught a few words in his ears in a daze.

"Don't you mind taking the initiative?" Shui Nineteen smiled.

The two assassins clicked their tongues: "Tch, forget it, anyway, we rushed to do the work you should do. We have been to the one next to Shuiximen."

As they said that, they took out the copied name book and scratched it with their fingers stained with blood, which was counted as murder.

"Thank you, both of you." Shui Nineteen still smiled and bowed.Ever since Yan Jiubian took over the position of the young host, the assassins have come to realize that the assassins of the Water Department are all smiley faces, and they are most used to hiding needles in the cotton.So the two assassins glanced at him in disgust, turned around and jumped up the eaves, disappearing in an instant like a bird soaring its wings.

The street was noisy and noisy, shoulder to shoulder, crowds of people came and went, but no one glanced at the stone alley.Yu Yiwei's chest seemed to be empty as if a piece was missing, he hung his head and said nothing, shaking and about to fall to the ground.

His father was killed in front of him, and he was at a loss what to do, he couldn't even cry out in pain!In an instant, tears seemed to well up in his eyes, and when he realized it, Yu Yi was already tearing up, covering his mouth and weeping bitterly.

Shui Nineteen walked slowly in front of him, but with a nonchalant expression on his face, he sneered and said, "It's funny, I'm so big, and I still don't want to leave my father? Besides, in the eyes of us who believe in Tantra After death, you will enter the realm of the bardo of reality, and the happy and wrathful deities will shine light on your father, and it is a good thing that he can eat the Buddha fruit."

But Yu Yiwei was in no mood to tease this man.In an instant, he was filled with anger, and the veins on his forehead burst out. He grabbed Shui Nineteen's skirt and shouted in a low voice: "...Why did you kill someone!"

"I'm afraid you think it's inappropriate for someone to kill your father. If a friend you know does it, wouldn't it reassure you a little?" Shui Nineteen blinked, deliberately putting on a gentle and innocent expression in front of him, Smiling and sighing.It's a pity that Yu Yi has not yet seen his evil nature clearly, so at this moment, no matter what he says, he can't extinguish the anger in his chest. "Besides, those two belong to the Ministry of Finance. It's not enough to kill people, but they have to beheaded to ensure their death. Wouldn't this ruin your father's remains?"

"Even so, you...!" Yu Yiwei was speechless, unable to speak.

But now what should I do if I want to take the water nineteen?This man killed his father, and he has a blood feud with him.However, he has the handle in the hands of the assassin. If his deeds are exposed, he will still be the one who is unlucky.

Yu Yi gritted his teeth with hatred, but an idea popped up in his mind first.This thought was like a thunderbolt from the blue sky, which first shook him to the ground: What if he——killed Shui Shijiu here?

Bingzhou is currently in the midst of the summer drought, and the streets are full of performers, crowded and bustling.Even if one or two screams were leaked during the killing, they would be drowned out by the crowd.What's more, he is in the sparsely populated stone alley with Shui Shijiu's main force, and the two Houtianlou assassins who came earlier have gone away.

He only felt his heart beating like a drum, and his palms were sweating, and they were wet and greasy.Maybe he can kill Shui Nineteen one-on-one!Yu Yiwei glanced quietly at the whistle stick that fell on the bottom of his feet in an instant, killing intent flashed through his eyes.

Shui Shijiu didn't seem to notice his strange condition, he easily broke free from his grip on his clothes, but stretched out a hand in front of his eyes, and said with a smile, "Will you bandage it up for me?"

This man is really lazy by nature. Not only did he leave all the work to Yu Yi when he was in Qianshan post, but now he doesn't bother to do the dressing himself.When Yu Yiwei was furious, his eyes were bloodshot, Dang Lian wanted to shake off his hand, and then he took out the dagger from the whistle stick and stabbed him hard in the face.

But when he looked down, the assassin's palm was indeed bloody, and the blood didn't seem to flow from his father's neck.A deep gash was cut by the iron dart in Shui Nineteen's palm, and blood gushed out like a spring, which looked extremely terrifying.

Yu Yi was dumbfounded, even subdued his anger unconsciously.When did this wound come about?Just now Shui Nineteen just threw a dart at his father's neck, there is absolutely no possibility of injury.

Suddenly, a bright light seemed to burst open in his heart, illuminating the doubts lingering in his heart.Yu Yiwei froze all over, looked down at the ground, and saw a bloody iron dart falling on the stone steps, it was the one that Shui Nineteen had smashed into his father's neck just now.The sharp edges and corners of the iron dart seemed to be snapped off at the root.

He glanced at Shui Nineteen's hand again, and saw a few cuts on the fingertips, and blood beads stagnated on it. It was the wound that was cut when he split the horn of the iron dart in an instant!

"You..." Yu Yiwei was tongue-tied, as if thousands of words were stuck in his throat.He turned his head abruptly to look at Xu Yi, then scrambled forward and threw open his skirt.I saw that although the old man had a wound on his neck, it was a flesh wound, not an artery.The dark red blood was all wiped by Shui Jiujiu after he cut his palm.

Thinking about it carefully, after Shui Nineteen shot out the iron dart just now, he rushed forward and covered Xu Yi's neck with his hands, presumably at that time he quietly pressed down the Fengfu and Yamen acupoints, or gave dark needles, Only then did he teach his father to faint quietly.Then smear the blood on his palm, and cover the wound with his clothes, so that he can cover the eyes and ears of the Jinbu Assassin.

Xu Yi lowered his head and breathed slightly, his chest still rising and falling weakly.Yu Yi didn't see this movement, suddenly mixed with sorrow and joy, tears fell suddenly, and wiped his eyes with his cuff vigorously.

Shui Jiujiu was quite helpless, and rubbed him lightly with the toe of his boot, "Can you bandage me now?" Seeing Yu Yiwei standing up, his eyes still a little confused, he smiled again:

"I wounded a hand, and it's not easy to wrap the fine cloth. Take the asbestos powder out of my bag, and help me sprinkle a little on the wound. Just now, in order to deceive the two men from the Ministry of Gold, I had to wrap the wound Make a deeper cut, otherwise there will be too little bleeding, which will only make them suspicious."

Yu Yiwei's eyes fell on his hands, and he saw the blood dripping down, converging into a stream between the stone bricks and slowly flowing.This man was really a lunatic, his wound was bloody and bloody, and he almost pierced his palm, but there was no pain on his face.The assassins in the Ministry of Water are indeed liars, everyone was fooled by him.

"...does it hurt?" Yu Yiwei took out asbestos powder and fine cloth from the bag, carefully sprinkled it into his palm, wrapped up the wound, tied it lightly, and asked hesitantly.

Shui Jiujiu curled his mouth, "It hurts, it hurts to death. But have you been stabbed by me before, so the two will be cleared."

It can be said that it is Liangqing, but Yu Yiwei doesn't think so.His father's life was saved, and it really depended on Shui Shijiu.He knelt down and straightened Li Xuyi's clothes, seeing his father's eyes closed tightly, his breathing was long, and he was at a loss for a while.What should I do next with his father?

The assassin covered his injured hand, and said leisurely behind him: "I advise you to take him away from Bingzhou, settle in a small mountain village, and change his name and surname. Anyway, he is only used when he leaves the city, and he will not be used for other times." Some officials came to check your father's name."

Yu Yiwei hesitated and said: "But...but this place has a century-old foundation from my ancestors. What's more, if you go to other places, won't you be hunted by the assassins of Houtianlou?"

Shui Jiujiu frowned and said, "It's fine if you stay far away from the mountain station, and the farther you are from Tianfu, the better. After a while, the Ministry of Water will not be able to check strictly." As he was speaking, he suddenly frowned, and used another Grabbing Yu Yiwei with one hand, he lowered his voice and said, "You kid, you can hide him for me, and you are not allowed to show your tail!"

Xu's family still has relatives in Hedong, who live in a remote place, maybe it will be enough to send his father there.Yu Yiwei thought about it, and decided to leave a letter to Xu Yi. The letter probably told a lie that he was going to retreat in Tianshan Mountain for a few years, so that his father would keep quiet and worry less about himself.Then he would hide Xu Yi in the mule cart and drive away from the dangerous place of Bingzhou overnight.

He was taking out paper, pens and ink cartridges from his bag, but he heard Shui Shijiu leaning against the side of the stone steps and sighing slightly:

"...I really fell into your hands."

"What?" Yu Yiwei scratched his head with the pen, somewhat puzzled by the words.

Shui Shijiu stared at him, his eyes filled with bitterness, and said in a calm tone: "If Hou Tianlou finds out that I let your father go, then I will die. It is really a loss-making business."

Indeed, Yu Yiwei had heard of Houtianlou's harsh punishments and harsh laws.Once in the torture chamber, it is written in the book of life and death in the underworld, and it is common to have cramps and skins, and to cook them late.Thinking of this, he couldn't help but get goosebumps all over his body.

That being the case, how would he make up for Shui Shijiu's kindness?Yu Yiwei only felt that there were many thoughts in his heart, maybe it was just a wrong step, and he was dragging Shui Shijiu to sink deeper and deeper in the mud.

"Your name is Xu Fan, Yu Yiwei? That's right, just now your father kept calling you 'Afan'." Shui Nineteen struggled to pull out the name book from his chest, frowning as he turned the pages until he reached Looking at the page of Yu Yiwei's home, he said thoughtfully. "Well, then how should I call you? Afan, Fanfan, Xiaofan..."

Yu Yi was not very embarrassed, he thought that Shui Shijiu would use this to blackmail him again, but he didn't want this person to think about this matter.So he waved his hands hastily, making a silent gesture and said: "No need, no need! Just call me Huo Shiqi!"

Shui Nineteen snatched the ink-soaked pen from his hand, crossed out his name on the name book, and smiled happily and innocently:

"Well, Xu Fan. Now I am a grasshopper on the same rope as you."

-

In the dead of night, the two drove to the east of the river in a mule cart.Xu Yi woke up in a daze on the way, and fell asleep again after being smelled of mandala powder by Shui Jiujiu.The old man was put in the car by them, covered with millet stalks, and got out of Bingzhou City.

When I arrived at the small mountain village in Hedong, I saw green bamboo forests and winding streams.The two found an unoccupied hut, cleaned it up, and put Xu Yi there.Yu Yi didn't put the letter on the old man's chest, this place is very close to Xu's house in Hedong, when his father wakes up and reads the letter, he will know where to go, and hide here for a while.

Before leaving, Yu Yiwei knelt down and kowtowed to the sleepy Xu Yi, and said in a trembling voice:

"I'm sorry, father. It's a child who is not filial, and it's hard to serve the court. When I return someday, I will do my best to be filial to my relatives, and I will do my best in the morning and evening."

Outside the house, the sound of dogs and the gurgling of springs.Shui Jiujiu sat in the green bamboo shade and waited for him with a leaf in his mouth. Seeing that Yu Yi hadn't come out, he jumped up stretchedly and led the mule over.

Yu Yi didn't sit in the front room and drive the car, while Shui Jiujiu was lying swaggeringly in the carport. This person could be regarded as an injured person at this time, and he seemed to have a little more confidence in calling Yu Yi in the future.

The mule cart was rushing to Bingzhou mountain station, Yu Yiwei was holding the rein, suddenly a pair of arms stretched out from behind, hugging him tightly.This action shocked Yu Yiwei, almost strangled the mule, the car shed trembled violently, Shui Jiujiu stuck behind him and said with a smile:

"The conditions I said earlier, do you still count?"

What this condition refers to, Yu Yiwei naturally knew in his heart, his face was flushed immediately, he hesitated and pretended to be stupid: "Wh, what condition?"

Shui Jiujiu was dissatisfied and thumped him, "Didn't I tell you? I will save your father for you, so you have to give me your night."

Yu Yiwei's eyeballs fluttered wildly, and he didn't dare to look back at him.

"What are you afraid of? Haven't you never experienced this?" Shui Shijiu asked.

Come to think of it, it did happen.Yu Yiwei's face was as red as a boiled shrimp. When he was in Xu's house, he was a well-known romantic young man in Bingzhou. He often went to hang out with girls in Huajie and Liuxiang, but he was very good at it.But as soon as he wanted to do that kind of thing with Shui Nineteen, he felt extremely uncomfortable.

But he saw that Shui Shijiu was not bad looking, with clear features and gentle manners, it would be a good thing if he had intercourse.Although the fact that he looks exactly the same as Jinwu made him feel a little uncomfortable, but it's okay to bear it after thinking about it.

Yu Yiwei was already thinking sadly about how to have sex with Shui Shijiu, but at this moment, he heard Shui Jiujiu ask again: "Isn't it just drinking all night, why are you ashamed? Is it possible that you rest every night at the time of Hai , old-fashioned, must sleep?"

After hearing this, Yu Yiwei was dumbfounded, and said in a daze, "...what?"

He thought that Shui Nineteen was talking about the combination of clouds and rain, but it didn't seem to be the case.

Shui Nineteen sighed: "Didn't you promise to give me your whole night? I thought about going to the wine shop on Nancang Street in Bingzhou, eating a bowl of brains, and tasting their Fen Qingjiu. Wait until dawn."

This assassin is really a drunkard, and he never forgets to taste the local wine wherever he goes.Yu Yiwei was silent for a while, hesitantly said: "Didn't you want to pull me... to do that thing?"

"On the bed is when we Assassins of the Ministry of Water are working, so we can't be happy. What's more, if I get excited, my old profession suffers from a disease, and I accidentally kill you, what should I do?" Shui Nineteen let go of both hands, lay down in the car shed, closed his eyes and murmured:

"Forget it, as friends, drinking together is the happiest."

Yu Yi didn't know what to say, he thought for a moment, and said, "Shui Nineteen, actually... I have a clay pot in my bag, you can take it out."

Hearing this, Shui Shijiu turned over and sat up, took out a black clay pot from his bag, looked at it over and over again, and asked in puzzlement, "What is this?"

"It's wine. You promised to help me hide my affairs, and saved my father for me. I want to... thank you."

Obviously these are some words that should be said outright, but Yu Yiwei only felt that his head and ears were hot when he said it, and he was shy and uneasy.What is it to thank a murderous ghost?But Shui Nineteen has indeed helped him a lot, and he should pay back.

The assassin stroked the clay pot for a while, and suddenly smiled, and said cheerfully: "Thank you, thank you, you still understand my thoughts best!"

Yu Yi tilted his head slightly, caught a glimpse of Shui Jiujiu's curved mouth, which seemed to be filled with honey, and saw that he was sincerely happy like a child, and couldn't help but move slightly.They have only been "friends" for a few days, but this Shui Shijiu seems to really take it to heart, and he does not hesitate to risk his life to protect himself.

When he was at Xu's house in the past, he also met a group of cronies.But most of the people in the world are following the trend, leaving one after another after their wealth is gone, and they don't look at him seriously again.On the contrary, now that he is down and out and his face is ruined, he feels that this blood-stained murderous ghost treats him well.

Shui Nineteen uncovered the sealing paper of the clay pot, took a mouthful excitedly, then wrinkled his whole face in pain, and said vaguely: "Bah, what the hell is sour and bitter!"

Seeing his uncomfortable look, Yu Yiwei smiled back: "It's Li Meng wine. It's from Nanyang. I asked someone to steal a can, and I've never been willing to drink it. I gave it to you."

The assassin looked at the clay pot in his hand, vaguely guessed its price, and was in a dilemma as he didn't know whether to spit it out or swallow it.

"Just take another sip. Li Meng's taste is sour at the first sip, but after another sip, it is refreshing. Its freshness is unique in wine. Isn't it like this in everything? What can you tell at the first glance? Light Can you guess that person's temperament by looking at his appearance?" Yu Yiwei said, "Well... what I want to say is... this wine has a strong aftertaste, drink it slowly."

Shui Jiujiu swallowed it reluctantly, closed his eyes to savor carefully, and after a while, when he opened his eyelids, both eyes lit up, as if a few stars were flickering in the pupils.

"Well, is it good wine?"

"Yeah, it's really good wine." Shui Nineteen laughed happily, his brows and eyes were curved, revealing a mouthful of white teeth, "It's really beyond appearances, wine is like this, and so are people. This Limen wine is just like you... Unexpected."

With the rumble of cars, the mule cart gradually drove into Bingzhou.I saw the colorful clouds in the sky like a brocade, covering the sky in a colorful way.The sound of rolling oars on the Fen River is repeated, and the waves are rippling.

Yu Yi didn't hold the rein, and walked slowly on the stone path overlooking the scenery, and suddenly said for no reason: "...Thank you."

Shui Nineteen was smashing the pot with his mouth in his arms, and asked, "What did you say?"

"Thank you for helping me." Yu Yiwei said anxiously, "How many times have you helped me, how can I repay this favor?"

Calculated now, he only dragged the water out of the fire scene nineteen times, but let this person lend a helping hand to him frequently.Yu Yiwei always has a sense of indebtedness in his heart, it is not a good thing to pay on credit, and the same is true for favors.

"What's the matter? I saved your life and your father's life. How can you pay for it? Besides, 'thank you' is the cheapest thing to do. It's because you have nothing in return to say 'thank you' ' Two words, I don't like to hear it."

The assassin smiled, put the wine jar aside, and rested his arms on his head, "However, it's better not to be clear."

Yu Yi didn't turn his head to look, but saw Shui Jiujiu lying in the carport, staring straight at him.Those eyes were sly and agile, and the bright sunset glow fell on his eyes, as if a small flame was burning, burning his heart one after another.

In the shadow of the carport, Shui Shijiu smiled, and whispered softly as if whispering to him:

"That way, you'll always be my friend...always."
