Chapter XXIII: Assassination

He Xiu's body trembled uncontrollably, his cheeks were boundless red, and he got up and said, "He Xiu thanked Miss Guan." ”

"Hehe, I can't imagine that Brother He Xiu is more shy than my daughter's family. Guan Zhihe let go of He Xiu's arm and stroked Qingsi with her slender hand, "Brother He Xiu, are you here to talk about this?"

He Xiu wiped the beads of sweat from his forehead, but just lowered his head blankly, not knowing what to answer.

"Let He'er guess?" Guan Zhihe flashed her crystal eyes, bowed her waist and looked at He Xiu with a smile and said, "Do you want to beg me to ask that Guo Gongzi for your friend's body?"

"He Xiu is this meaning, I don't know how Miss Guan found out. He Xiu spat out a mouthful of stuffy breath in his chest and asked puzzled.

"Hehe, Mr. Sha has already told me everything, this Guo Zhenxing is really bad, don't worry, He'er will get justice. Guan Zhihe stomped on the ground with her little feet and said with a righteous expression.

"He Xiu's kindness to Miss Guan is too much, and he can't repay it in this life, please accept my worship. He Xiu said with his eyes pouting.

"Look, why did you worship again, if you do this again, He'er will ignore you anymore. Guan Zhihe pursed her cheeks, and her jade fingers wrapped around Qingsi and said angrily.

He Xiu was so frightened that he froze in place, neither worshipping nor getting up, Guan Zhihe sneered and laughed, "Okay, okay, He'er won't tease you anymore, you wait, I'll send someone to you to come back, come on, go and call Guo Zhenxing to me." ”

After He Xiu heard the hurried footsteps of the servant leaving, he raised his head in embarrassment, and his eyes were dull and connected with Guan Zhihe for the first time.

He Xiu knew that he had lost his manners, so he withdrew his eyes and stammered, "Oh, He Xiu communicated with the girl for the second time, and he didn't know how to grasp it in his heart, please don't blame Miss Guan." ”

"Second time?" Guan Zhihe turned around and took a step forward, He Xiu seemed to be able to feel her warm snort, she clenched her pink fists, and said savagely, "Then who is the first time?" Miss Ben wants to compare with her to see who is more qualified, hum." ”

He Xiu felt guilty in his heart, blaming himself for not making his words clear, and took a step back to explain, "The first time was when Miss Guan, your maid presented He Xiu's buns, and I had a few words of conversation with her. ”

"Oh, this dead girl, let me dare to run ahead of me, hmph, see how Miss Ben cleans you up later. Guan Zhihe muttered to herself and said to He Xiu, "Are there any other girls besides the two of us?"

He Xiu was secretly anxious, Guan Zhihe in front of him was still generous just now, and in the blink of an eye, he asked strangely, he didn't know what method to use, so he had to tell the truth; "I used to communicate with female shopkeepers in the Huipeng Building, and I also communicated with female merchants when buying ingredients in the market. ”

"Hmph, you know you're not telling me the truth. Guan Zhihe shook her waist aggrievedly, twisted her apricot cheeks and stopped talking.

He Xiu smiled bitterly at his bewilderment, and after a short silence, his head collected all the words of praise, "He Xiu is saying that Miss Guan is the second girl I have ever seen with a particularly good temperament. ”

"Hmph, it's the second one, you're really good at talking. Guan Zhihe still didn't spare him, and said angrily.

He Xiu almost collapsed, and thought of the words in the play: "He Xiu is saying that the maid sister is a beautiful jade in the world, and Miss Guan is a heavenly immortal in the upper realm." ”

"Hee-hee, it's pretty much it, okay, He'er forgive you. Guan Zhihe turned around and said happily.

He Xiu was relieved as if he had just come out of prison, and at this moment, the servant who went to Guo's mansion to deliver the message replied that Guo Zhengxing asked the two to go to his house to talk in detail, Guan Zhihe was very dissatisfied, and grabbed He Xiu's clothes and ran to Guo's house.

Pedestrians going back and forth along the way saw a young girl running in front, and a young man who was very inappropriate with her was dragged, chasing after him step by step, He Xiu felt an unprecedented feeling that could not be described in words, and could only let the pedestrians laugh.

Soon the two came to the door of Guo's mansion, and Guan Zhihe didn't wait for the doorman to report, and trotted in.

He Xiu was placed in the visitor hall of the Guo family like a plaything by a weak girl.

Guo Zhenxing was talking with Xiao Daoren at this time, and when he saw Guan Zhihe walking with a person he hated to the core, his sword eyebrows instantly joined together, and his eyes burst out with murderous intent, Xiao Daoren was no better than him, the long sword in his hand was buzzing by him, and he couldn't wait to immediately draw his sword and kill him.

At this time, Guan Zhihe changed his face when he talked to He Xiu before, and discussed with Guo Zhenxing why he didn't hand over the corpse, He Xiu did not interject, but always guarded the long sword in Xiao Daoren's hand.

The skin on Xiao Daoren's face was burned and twisted together, and he completely became two people, but the killing intent in his eyes He Xiu was not strange at all, his fists were clenched, ready to fight at any time.

But Xiao Daoren never broke out, he was waiting for Guo Zhenxing's order, and He Xiu was on guard at the same time, he was also observing Guo Zhenxing's movements, in case he passed out the order to kill himself with his eyes.

He Xiu vaguely heard it, Guo Zhenxing asked the two to stay for a banquet tonight, and Guan Zhihe had to nod after discussing with him to no avail.

A half-person-high three-legged golden tripod is located in the center of the Guo family's visitor hall, and a raging fire is burning in the tripod, and the fire light penetrates the entire hall.

Guo Zhenxing was sitting in the center of the hall on the east side, Xiao Daoren's long sword was placed horizontally on the incense table, located on Guo Zhengxing's left hand side, and Guan Zhihe was sitting opposite him, looking at He Xiu who was meditating on the left hand side with affection.

Guo Zhenxing raised the golden wine glass, turned the paper fan in his hand and said to the three of them, "Today, my son is fortunate to be able to invite He'er," said this, and rolled his eyes in disgust at He Xiu; "And Brother He, I am really happy to be a guest here, come, let's have this drink." ”

Xiao Daoren picked up the wine glass with one hand and rushed down, and put the wine glass on the incense table, Guan Zhihe was so strong that he just licked it, and He Xiu was not polite, but he still raised his hands above his head, and then drank all the wine in the cup.

"Haha, happy, He'er, do you remember when we played around this Jinding together when we were children?" Guo Zhenxing looked at Guan Zhihe tenderly, and said with an expectant expression.

"There are many things in my childhood, and He'er only remembers one thing. Guan Zhihe held her cheeks with her soft hands and said lightly, "That's when Guo Gongzi cries your nose." ”

He Xiuqiang held back his smile, and in order to hide his embarrassment, he picked up the second glass of wine and drank it alone, Xiao Daoren couldn't help laughing out loud, and after being warned by Guo Zhengxing's evil eyes, he covered his mouth and stopped making a sound.

"Hehe, He'er is really good at laughing, okay, let's not talk about the embarrassing past when we were children, let's talk about your present. Guo Zhenxing's eyes wandered to all corners of Guan Zhihe's body, and his eyes were full of color.

Guan Zhihe may have long been accustomed to this kind of gaze from the opposite sex on him, so he just responded lightly, "What do I have to say, Guo Gongzi should talk about the corpse, Brother He Xiu can't wait, you see, he drank the fifth cup alone." ”

Guo Zhenxing heard Guan Zhihe's address to He Xiu, his face rose with anger, and his nails were clasped with incense, "It's not easy to discuss these filthy things at night, since He'er doesn't want to talk about herself, let's talk about the reason why Brother He is a servant in Huipeng Building." ”

Guan Zhi held the cup and looked at He Xiu freely, "Brother He Xiu, say what you want to say, He'er will call the shots for you." ”

He Xiu picked up the sixth cup, raised it above his head, and sincerely said what he had said when he came this morning, Guo Zhenxing only drank with his head bored, his face was impatient, and the killing intent in Xiao Daoren's eyes was even deeper.

He Xiu was dizzy from drinking at this banquet, and the result of the discussion was also dizzy, Guo Zhenxing issued an eviction order in the name of being unable to drink, and Guan Zhihe was so angry that he swore never to come to Guo's mansion again.

After coming out of Guo's mansion, the carriage of the Guan family was already waiting, Guan Zhihe had no choice but to separate from He Xiu, and promised him when he left that he would definitely give him the body back.

As soon as he walked out of the city gate, He Xiu felt a cold air coming from his back, and he was immediately awakened by the cold air when he was drunk, and he silently recited the mantra in his heart, and a red ball of fire slowly rose in his left palm, and he knew that he would still come.

"Boy, take your life!" Xiao Daoren kicked on the roof of the gate, jumped forward, held a red long sword, and killed.

He Xiu immediately entered the state, pushed with his backhand, and the red fireball smashed towards Xiao Daoren's long sword with a blazing tail fire.

Xiao Daoren's long sword spun rapidly, wielding a red sword flower, and a red sword shadow came out of the sword.

"Boom. ”

The red sword shadow cut horizontally on the surface of the red fireball, and the fireball collapsed when it landed, losing its lethality, Xiao Daoren landed with one foot at this time, and quickly jumped into the air in the air, his body turned upside down, and stabbed at He Xiu's Heavenly Spirit Gai with a long sword.

He Xiu didn't dare to slack off, his knees bent, his body bounced to the ground and took the initiative to face the battle, he recited the mantra in his heart, his palm was upward, and the red fireball and the long sword were butted together, and suddenly the fire was full of colors.

Since He Xiu often practiced bouncing with a tombstone on his back, there was no tombstone on his body today, and the bouncing was higher than in the past.

Xiao Daoren's long sword was pushed against the inertia of He Xiu's jump, and the long sword began to bend.

Xiao Daoren changed his tactics and began to rotate the long sword in his hand rapidly, wanting to drill through the fireball with the help of drilling power, only to see that the curved long sword formed an oval red sword wind under the condition of rapid rotation.

He Xiu felt that his body was beginning to fall, and cracks like turtle shells began to appear on the surface of the fireball in his palm, and the oval sword wind turned into a circular sword wind as He Xiu's body fell.

"Boom. ”

The fireball shattered, the sword wind disappeared, and the long sword was inserted into He Xiu's palm, Xiao Daoren's left leg stretched out, and with an arrow-like sound, he kicked He Xiu in the face and smashed to the ground.

He Xiu spat out a mouthful of blood, supported his body with one elbow, and the blood in his eyes was intense, Xiao Daoren hurriedly held a long sword and killed again, He Xiu's palm was pierced, and he couldn't give birth to a fireball, so he had to endure the pain and retreat again and again.

When running under the city gate wall, there was no way to escape, Xiao Daoren's rapid footsteps did not decrease, and the long groan of the long sword, the closer it was, He Xiu jumped with his legs, and actually ran fast like a gecko on the city wall.

The long sword cut a half-brick-deep sword mark on the city wall, He Xiu escaped by chance, and Xiao Daoren also learned from He Xiu's legs to step on the city wall and chase after him, during which he kept letting out a provocative roar;

He Xiu was suffering from the lack of weapons in his heart, so he had to hide and flee again and again, the blood in his palm did not stop, and there were bursts of pain that pierced his heart, and he ran to untie the belt of his clothes and wrap it around his palm. The long sword was in hot pursuit, and Xiao Daoren deliberately assassinated again, and the sword blade would be even better at that time.

Before he could fix the belt, the long sword swung towards He Xiu's neck, seeing that he was about to be cut off and boneless, he was anxious for a while, He Xiu waved the belt, silently recited the mantra in his heart, and the belt was red all over his body, and he was overjoyed, although it was not as good as the long sword, but he finally had the weapon to resist the enemy, and he no longer chose to escape.

The belt of the clothes was tightly wrapped around the long sword like a poisonous snake, He Xiu used all his strength to pull forward, Xiao Daoren was sure in his heart that He Xiu would die, and he couldn't help but be a little underestimated, causing the long sword in his hand to fly out of his hand, He Xiu stretched out his right leg and kicked Xiao Daoren in the chest like a horse stepping on a flying swallow.

He Xiu instantly grabbed the long sword, and silently recited the mantra in his heart, and the long sword turned red all over.

"Sword Shadow Slash!"

A red sword shadow came out of the sword, and before Xiao Daoren could land on the ground, the thumb of his left hand was cut off by the sharp sword shadow.
