beg for chivalry

The bright moonlight and the snow-capped snow reflected each other, making Young Master Jin's figure bleached, and under his disheveled hair was a face that was blown red by the wind.Jinwu didn't laugh, and Wang Xiaoyuan didn't dare to make a sound.So the two of them stared sullenly, until an object slammed into the arms of the young servant.

Wang Xiaoyuan looked down, his breath became stagnant, and his mind went blank—what Jinwu threw was a padded jacket.

The sun is really coming out in the west.

He was flustered for a moment and lost his grip, causing the padded jacket to fall straight to the ground.At the same time, he thought about it: Why is it not Sanniang who sent the clothes, but the usually vicious Young Master Jin?

The young master of his family is lazy by nature, yawns all day long, like a brown candy lying on the couch, wishing to take root in the quilt, unexpectedly came to visit him in the middle of the night.The more he thought about it, the more he had a headache, and he couldn't figure it out.

Jinwu couldn't control his wild thoughts, limped into the firewood room, and asked him with a frown. "Where's San Niang?"

"No... I don't know." Wang Xiaoyuan shook his head hurriedly as he dared not say that Sanniang brought him food just now.

Seeing his bewildered look, Young Master Jin asked again impatiently. "Don't pretend to be deaf and dumb, where did she go after she brought you food?"

This question made Wang Xiaoyuan speechless immediately. He never expected that Jinwu knew that Sanniang was secretly delivering food to him, and he was always worried about how Jinwu, who was already bad-tempered, would be furious after the incident was revealed. The young master actually knew this well.

Wang Xiaoyuan stammered. "She, she left later, saying she was going to lock the door. I don't know where she went, maybe she was in the next room." He boldly asked one more question. "By the way, young master...how did you know that she would come to the woodshed every night...?"

"Now I know." Jin Wu said.

Wang Xiaoyuan felt a slip of the tongue and quickly covered his mouth.At this time, Young Master Jin gave him a careless and resentful look, and raised his hand as if to hit him on the head, scaring the young man so much that he dared not speak. "Okay, I'm warning you, if you dare to think about her in the slightest - I'll give you some color!"

Wang Xiaoyuan has always been used to being bullied by his young master, if the other party shows any dissatisfaction, he will definitely tremble all over.At this time, after saying this, and seeing the Jinwu's fierce expression, he felt a sense of awe in his heart, and his eyes dodged.

But maybe because he was bold a few times today, he was not as cautious as usual when he spoke.Seeing that the Golden Crow was about to leave, Wang Xiaoyuan hastily added a sentence. "Many... Thank you, young master."

"What are you thanking?" Young Master Jin smiled on the surface.

"Thank you so much for the young master's words today to stop that martial artist...Master Wu," Wang Xiaoyuan replied cautiously, "and...give me a padded jacket tonight."

Jin Wu was really furious when he heard the words, Wang Xiaoyuan's tone sounded to him as if he had been his nanny once, he said angrily. "Thank you! Who told you to come out of the woodshed? Are you trying to cause trouble? Do you really think the fists and kicks you learned from Old Huangya are useful!"

When he got angry, his expression became even more ferocious.The scar under the hanging eyes trembled, making him look fierce.

Wang Xiaoyuan quickly shook his head.

Jin Wu coughed, collected himself, and asked again. "Where did San Niang go?"

"I don't know."

"really do not know?"

"Hmm... um. No, it must have been captured by a thief." Wang Xiaoyuan thought of the faint sound of tiles clanging in the wind and snow, and suddenly thought wildly.

Jin Wu slapped him, "Speak nonsense, you should be slapped."

His palm was neither heavy nor light, Wang Xiaoyuan didn't feel any pain, instead he was much more awake, the previous feeling of confusion disappeared suddenly, and a rush of anxiety surged in his heart: "Master... Sanniang hasn't returned for a long time? "

Speaking of this, the Golden Crow is out of breath. "She made me wait for an hour! I asked her to get the coat, who knows what detours she took..."

His nose was red, his body was trembling uncontrollably, obviously he was very afraid of the cold, Wang Xiaoyuan couldn't help but feel moved, this wimpy young master braved the wind and snow to give him a padded jacket.But Wang Xiaoyuan suddenly became anxious again: "San Niang is afraid she is in danger!"

Jin Wu looked at him as if watching a joke, "What did you say?"

Seeing his young master's disdain, Wang Xiaoyuan said anxiously. "The martial artist wants to seek revenge on me today, I'm afraid of Sanniang..."

As he said, Jinwu laughed and laughed, "Seeking your revenge? Are you a prince or nobleman, or a heavenly soldier?"

Wang Xiaoyuan hesitated. "Eighty percent... is a servant of the Jin family."

Before the words were finished, a gust of cold air suddenly poured in from the door of the firewood room.Young Master Jin was most afraid of the cold, his face suddenly turned blue, he quickly shut up and tightened his clothes.But Wang Xiaoyuan's back immediately trembled, this is not a cold air, but a killing intent!In an instant, his heart and stomach were overwhelmed, and his body was on the verge of falling.

In the light snow that is flying all over the sky, the murderous aura sinks with the white mist.The two of them saw a vast expanse in front of them, but there was a knife-like hostility rushing towards them.Wang Xiaoyuan blinked hard to discern where the killing intent in the snow came from, but his eyes were dull and painful.

Suddenly, several bursts of wild laughter came from the sky!

"Then the remaining [-]%... who is it?"

When the voice sounded, Wang Xiaoyuan immediately trembled all over.This voice came from Wu Litian, the martial artist in the capital who forced him to use his sword today, and the son of the leader of the martial arts alliance!At this time, separated by a layer of snow and fog, Wu Litian's laughter came from all directions.

"In the north there is the Hanshan Juntian Sword, in the south there is the Miao Village to avoid water guns. To the east is the Crane Walking at the Crane Gate, and to the west is the Red Candle Kungfu in the Red Chamber. I have seen countless rivers and lakes since I was a child, and there are countless expert rangers."

The voice in the snow said.

"—But this knife, this person, is the first time I have seen it today."

While he was speaking, Young Master Jin hurriedly pushed Wang Xiaoyuan with a pale face, "I'm looking for you, get out quickly, don't touch me."

Knowing that Young Master Jin wanted to avoid the limelight from Wu Litian seeking revenge, Wang Xiaoyuan was angry and funny. "What about the young master?"

Jin Wu said, "It's cold outside, wait... I'll go out after the two of you chat."

Wang Xiaoyuan looked at the vast snow and fog, and instead of moving forward, he turned around and picked a branch from the firewood pile, raised his hand and threw it into the courtyard.As soon as he let go of the firewood branch, a stern light flashed across it, splitting the branch!If he had just walked out of the firewood room, his heart would probably be open right now.

So he also turned pale, turned around and sat down beside Jin Wu, and said.

"I... I'm chatting with him here."

After all, Wang Xiaoyuan is cautious by nature, even though he is risking his life, he would not dare to go hastily if he is not [-]% sure.He tensed his body and sat side by side with Jinwu, listening to Wu Litian's low laughter coming from the snow.

"Come out! I, Wu Litian, can't see anyone who can surpass me in martial arts. My old man is no exception, and you are no exception... I heard that you are a servant of the Jin family, and your name is Wang Xiaoyuan?"

Hearing him call his name, Wang Xiaoyuan's heart tightened, but he still replied loudly in the spirit of being a man. "Exactly."

The martial artist said. "It's strange. I just asked all over again. There is no one named Wang in the Jin family except you. Who gave birth to you?"

This question made Wang Xiaoyuan stunned for a while, before he recovered, Wu Litian said again.

"Since there is no father surnamed Wang, how can there be a son surnamed Wang? What kind of servant of the Jin family, who are you!"

Wang Xiaoyuan's mind was blank and he didn't know how to answer.

At this time, Young Master Jin interrupted and shouted. "Did you check the household registration? You can take care of such a trivial matter? I picked him up back then, but I didn't expect him to be a fool. I wish I could give it to someone soon. It's worth two taels of silver!"

As he spoke, he poked his head into the snow to make a face, but his head shrank in fright due to the harsher cold, and he yelled again. "You bird officer broke into a private house in the middle of the night and disturbed my dream. I will report it to the inspector. Heh heh, I feel better with you!"

Wang Xiaoyuan looked flustered and shouted to Xuezhong. "...Who did you just ask?"

He felt uneasy, why did Wu Litian know so much about the Jin family's family background?The young and middle-aged martial artist in Baimang suddenly laughed and shouted.

"—to her!"

This drink seemed to drain all the energy in his heart, and the white mist suddenly dissipated, and the snow flew wildly. When the haze disappeared, Wang Xiaoyuan was shocked to see——

Under the bright moonlight, a young man wearing a vermilion official uniform stood upright in the court. The red clothes were burning, and the arrogance on his face was burning like fire.He held the iron shroud that was shining with cold light in his right hand, while his left hand firmly pinched a woman's tender neck, the tip of the shroud was touching her throat.

"Sanniang!" Wang Xiaoyuan shouted, and stepped out of the firewood room in a hurry.

As soon as he stepped into the court, the agitated chill and murderous aura rushed towards him, enveloping his four bodies softly and sharply like thousands of quilts.But Wang Xiaoyuan's mind was full of distracting thoughts, and he had no room to retreat.Sanniang was missing tonight, unexpectedly Wu Litian really targeted her as his proton.

At this time, Zuo Sanniang was caught by Wu Litian, her breath was dying, her limbs were hanging down.Wang Xiaoyuan saw that her neck was pinched so that the veins appeared and creaked, her canthus was almost cracked, and she wanted to go forward and fight desperately.But hearing the sound of rushing footsteps, Sanniang spoke in a desperate voice. "...Don't come here, Xiao Yuan, don't..."

In an instant, Wang Xiaoyuan's heart trembled.

His footsteps slowed down, and finally stood in the wind and snow.

"You forced her to ask about the Jin family?" the boy asked.

The young martial artist sneered. "That's not true. This little girl is very strong. She never revealed any news about the Jin family to me. I only found out your name and surname after looking through the directory."

The Jin family had no servants of his age, so it was not difficult to guess Wang Xiaoyuan's name.It just so happened that when Sanniang looked at his wounds when he was leaving the martial arts arena today, Wu Litian saw it and mistakenly thought that Sanniang and him were a couple, so he took her to coerce him.

When Sanniang was in danger, Wang Xiaoyuan was naturally anxious, but after all he was unarmed and had no choice but to speak. "Why did you hurt her?"

Wu Litian sneered as if he heard a big joke. "A swordsman like you, if you don't get agitated, I'm afraid you won't even bother to take your knife out of its sheath."

What a madman.Wang Xiaoyuan thought secretly.He thought that the martial arts masters from the capital came here to rectify their martial arts, but Wu Litian disturbed the martial arts by himself.

"I'm not a swordsman." Wang Xiaoyuan said. "I've never used a knife before, and if I use it, it's for cutting melons and vegetables."

The young martial artist said. "When I pierce this girl's head and neck with an iron shroud, you will be a swordsman."

Seeing that Tie Shu's sharp point pierced Sanniang's white neck, and the blood was winding down like a small snake, Wang Xiaoyuan shouted anxiously. "What does your catching her have to do with the competition? She is not my favorite!"

"Really?"

Wu Litian narrowed his eyes.

Wang Xiaoyuan turned his face away. "no."

"But you don't want to see her die." Wu Litian tightened Tie Shu's hand. "I can see it."

In a blink of an eye, the young servant rushed forward, grabbed the tip of the knife with his hand and forced it to the side!If he was one step late, the iron shroud would have passed through his throat, causing the girl to die on the spot.

In the eyes of the young martial artist, this normally meek and cowardly boy was staring at him like a tiger and wolf, his eyes were gradually stained with determination, which immediately made Wu Litian feel very amused.

Wu Litian laughed. "Sure enough, you can't see her die."

The sharpness of this iron tree is unusual, with three layers of sharp barbs on the corners.Wang Xiaoyuan only felt severe pain when he held it, but he didn't let go, letting the bright red blood stay behind.He was afraid that Wu Litian would stab Sanniang's neck again if he let go, so he could only hold Shu's head with all his strength.If it were an ordinary person, he would have been crying and screaming, but this young man remained silent.

He was so angry that he glared at Wu Litiandao. "The martial arts competition is a matter between two people. How can there be any reason to involve others?"

"Between the two of you? Yesterday | Didn't you also join in the 'discussion' between me and that old master?"

Hearing Wu Litian's words, Wang Xiaoyuan had nothing to say.

Wu Litian sneered. "Are you trying to say that, as the son of the leader of the martial arts alliance, I am mean and shameless, do not abide by the principles of benevolence and righteousness, and resort to dirty tricks? To tell you the truth, those morals in the rivers and lakes are not the way of heaven, and they are all determined by people. If I abide by them, Isn’t it subservient to others? I, Wu Litian, come and go as I like, go wherever I like, and compete with whoever I like. There is no reason for me to follow others, only people follow my way.”

He quickly withdrew the Tie Shu, and Wang Xiaoyuan was in pain, so he had to let go.Seeing Wu Litian flick the blood on his body, he leaned heavily on the ground with a clang, and said. "I want you to compete with me with all your strength, and bring out everything in your body. If you don't give up at all, this woman's soul will go to the west."

Wang Xiaoyuan glanced at the unconscious Zuo Sanniang, and replied. "Let her go first."

"I can't tolerate you pointing fingers at me." Wu Litian suddenly opened his eyes angrily, and shouted in a low voice, "Get the knife!"

Seeing the young servant retreating step by step towards Lan Qijia, but with twinkling eyes, unwilling to take his eyes off Sanniang and him, the young martial artist was excited.He has been traveling for several years, and every time he goes, he must compete with local celebrities, but he gradually feels bored when interacting with these warriors.He who is used to seeing planks, flamboyant fists and embroidered legs, saw Wang Xiaoyuan's shocking knife yesterday, and immediately made up his mind to fight this young man.Wang Xiaoyuan's swordsmanship is exquisite and unconventional, although he is usually timid, he speaks calmly at critical moments, as if he is used to strong winds and waves, Wu Litian immediately knew that this young man was not an ordinary person.

Before the knife was drawn out, Jinwu's voice suddenly came from afar: "Stop, stop, my young master has a lot of money, let him take some silver and get out!"

Hearing the shouting sound, Wang Xiaoyuan trembled subconsciously.Looking at the reputation, my young master is hiding behind the door of the firewood room and pointing fingers at him.

Wu Litian naturally heard it in his ears, and only snorted proudly, looking at the boy with the knife with a half-smile.He has always disdained money, and he only thinks about competing with masters.Jin Wu finally knew that a fierce battle was inevitable, so he hesitated to his servants. "Don't take that knife, it cost a lot of money to get it back, and it won't pay you back if you sell it for a hundred times... Don't touch the knife on the shelf below! That thing is worth 300 taels of silver, don't step on it. Begonia..."

Wang Xiaoyuan saw that Sanniang was dying, her face was as white as paper, and she seemed to die at any moment, and her heart became even more chaotic, so she couldn't help shouting at Young Master Jin. "San Niang died in the face of death, why do you care about these things? Human life or money is more important?"

Unexpectedly, the submissive Xiao Yuan would have such an agitated expression on weekdays, Jin Wu was stunned for a moment, and then flew into a rage. "Of course money is the most important thing. How much do you think you are worth? This world still expects me to treat you two as golden Buddha offerings?"

He said angrily again. "Life is a matter of life and death, if you can't save Sanniang, just hire another hired worker!"

After finishing speaking, Jin Wu was startled suddenly.I saw Wang Xiaoyuan was silent and his face was serene, as if he wanted to merge with the snow and ice in the sky.There was also a boundless chill in his eyes, which was even worse than the cold winter.At this time, he was no longer the clumsy servant of the Jin family, nor was he the usual timid Wang Xiaoyuan, but a ruthless weapon that divided gold and jade, and was proud of snow and cold.

The young man glanced at the dumbfounded Young Master Jin, and casually pulled out a knife from the upper shelf.

"Then I'll use this broken knife."

----

The moon was dark and the frost was dark, the wind and snow were rustling, and in the gloomy courtyard, there were dim lights circulating at several points.It was supposed to be the time when the night was deep into a dream, but there were two people standing still in the snow.

The moment the broken knife came out of its sheath, Wang Xiaoyuan couldn't help being a little dazed.He originally thought that what he got was a defective sword that needed to be repaired and could no longer be used, but he didn't expect that the sword was as heavy as an axe, thick and yet sharp. Knowing that it is worth a lot of money, it feels smooth after weighing it a few times.

Wu Litian saw him draw his saber, he laughed and pushed Sanniang behind him, while he turned around to meet the boy!Wang Xiaoyuan's eyes froze for a moment, he retracted his knife and blocked Tie Shu.

The combination of knife, light, and shadow, aroused a lot of wind, frost and snow.At this time, Jinwu slipped to the corridor against the wind and snow, and was gazing at the two people who were going back and forth in the courtyard, when he suddenly heard Aunt Mu's voice behind him: "Do you want to stop them?"

It turned out that it was the loud noise of soldiers fighting in the courtyard, which woke up the servants.But the two had a fierce relationship, and only Aunt Mu, who was proficient in martial arts, had the courage to stand here.

"Forget it, if they really fight, your old bones can't intervene. One is the little bastard of the leader of the martial arts, and the other is number one in the world..."

Jin Wu replied casually, but suddenly stopped talking.

He looked up at the sky, and he didn't know when the night wind had turned the clouds to see the moon, and the clear and bright light poured down, falling on the two people who were fighting in the courtyard.The moon is bright and bright, the sky is full of snow, and the sound of howling wind hits him with chaotic thoughts.

"Snowy sky and moonlit night, this scene is just like two years ago."

Hearing what he said, Aunt Mu let out a faint sigh. "It was also a snowy night when you brought him back."

She looked at Wang Xiaoyuan, who was holding a saber facing the young martial artist, and said.

"After that... there will be no more peace."

The tone seemed to be asking Jinwu if he felt any remorse for this act.But Jinwu didn't answer, he just stared at the young servant with the knife in a daze.Although there is still the intention of retreating in his expression, his hands and feet are flustered and he has the upper hand, but Wang Xiaoyuan was able to survive Wu Litian's stormy offensive without any injuries, which shows the subtlety of his skills.Watching the two of them going back and forth, he stared blankly at the black, undiminished broken knife, and at the same time muttered in his heart. "If he remembered the past, what would it be like?"

The clearer this thought became, the deeper the hidden worry in his heart.

But he changed his mind, "This kid is so stupid, so what if he remembers, so what if he doesn't remember?"

After a moment of silence, Jin Wu suddenly sat down on the ground, raised Erlang's legs and yawned. "Go to sleep, auntie, Wang Xiaoyuan will have a long fight with this lunatic Wu. I'll just watch them."

Aunt Mu snorted. "Little waste, I'm not afraid of their mistakes, I'm worried about you."

Jinwu: "Why are you worried?"

"I'm afraid that you, a slippery bug, will pretend to be sick and scream in bed in the next few days when the cold wind blows, and you don't want to get up early." Aunt Mu's small eyes shone with sternness.

Young Master Jin was annoyed: "I won't get sick? Can't you worry more about my body?"

Aunt Mu shook her head, "I don't think this is a disease, it's a terminal disease. There is no cure for your disease that loves to pretend to be sick."

Jin Wu recalled the matter of randomly sending Wang Xiaoyuan to run errands to buy medicines, so he had nothing to say, he could only sneer and mock. "Old Bones, I'll just let you go back and rest. There's still a mountain of work waiting to be done in the morning!"

The expressions between the two of them are very intimate, not like a pair of master and servant, but like old friends.After hearing what Young Master Jin said, Aunt Mu let out a breathy laugh, turned around and left.At this time, Jin Wu scratched his messy hair and said casually.

"By the way, Aunt Mu, before leaving..."

He nuzui motioned to Wu Litian behind him. "While the two of them are not paying attention, let's help to rescue Sanniang, and then take her to the room to get some medicine."

Aunt Mu looked back. "I just heard that the young master wants to hire another permanent worker."

Jin Wu coughed and cursed.

"Fart! . . . It will cost a lot of money to hire another hired worker."
