Chapter 64: Monaural Voice
Sioux City is the largest city in Changchen Prefecture, with eight subordinate towns, and Qiman Town is located in the easternmost part of these eight towns.
The second batch of statues that the Guan family transported to Sioux City were intercepted by the bandits, and the first thing He Xiu thought of was that this group of bandits was secretly supported by others, and they went alone in order to find out the truth.
Qin Gufeng was still snorting melon seeds after waking up, and walked in front very chicly, as if he regarded He Xiu, who was following behind, as air, and after saying the last sentence, he no longer paid attention to him.
He Xiu walked away and admired the wild flowers all over the mountain, inhaled the fragrant and pleasant air, and came to Qiman Town for so long, it was the first time to go out so far, and the mood was also deeply drunk.
"Big brother, big brother, we grabbed a lot of food and drink supplies today, enough for us to nest in this ghost place for a while......"
"Big brother, big brother, look at the ...... I robbed"
Many bandits showed their breasts open, carrying all kinds of long knives and swords on their shoulders, and when they saw a stranger standing behind Qin Gufeng, their faces that were full of joy just now suddenly showed fierceness, and after putting down the loot in their hands, they surrounded He Xiu in the middle.
"What the are you, boy...... Big brother, do you know him?"
"Dare to trespass on our territory, fuck, it's boring......"
Qin Gufeng didn't answer, nor did he turn around, just tilted his head and sighed: "Hey, the world is hot and cold, I went out all morning to get such a little thing back." ”
"Who's to say it's not, the things I worked so hard to produce came to the mountains like this, hey, the world is unfair. He Xiu also learned his posture and sighed in his tone.
When everyone heard that He Xiu was here to ask for something, two people immediately swung knives and slashed from his neck.
He Xiu smiled first, and did not draw his sword in a hurry, but when they were two steps away from him, he jumped and split his legs hard, and the two thieves were each kicked in the face, and their bodies flew ten steps away, but they were not injured, but their buttocks were numb a little.
"Yo he, damn, you kid can do it, come on, brothers give it to me. ”
A one-eyed man saw that his brother was defeated with just one move, and he couldn't help but be angry in his heart, and united the three big men to wave their weapons and kill He Xiu's body.
Qin Gufeng still didn't turn his head, but sat in place and didn't hear it, and the sound of sound sleep sounded.
These three ordinary men who were killed could defeat them without a trace of mystery for He Xiu, but he couldn't bear to hurt his life in his heart, and he was attracted by Qin Gufeng's way of doing things, so he had the idea of playing with them in his heart, so he flickered and dodged in the siege formation of the three of them, not making direct contact with them.
The three thieves were a little dizzy by He Xiu's wandering, and they couldn't help but get angry, and the weapons in their hands were also wielded more fiercely.
When the rest of the thieves saw such a picture, they wanted to laugh but didn't dare to laugh, they all covered their mouths and looked at their leaders.
"Hey, three big brothers, come, let's do it again. He Xiu smiled, sat cross-legged in front of them, and said jokingly: "Three big brothers, I'm waiting for you for the second time." ”
"Boy...... You... What the are you... Don't be too arrogant, wait for us to ......"
"Okay, close the stall and drink. ”
Qin Gufeng lifted a wine jug to his shoulder, and walked forward slowly with a leisurely pace.
"Boy, you're fucking lucky today, if my eldest brother makes a move, I'll blow your brain up......"
The remaining bandits carried the loot on their backs and followed Qin Gufeng's figure and left.
It stands to reason that it is good to catch up and figure out the matter of the statue now, but He Xiu changed his attention and decided to return home and think about it in the long run.
Guan Zhihe was very worried when she knew that He Xiu was going to the bandit's lair alone, and kept rubbing her hands in the visitor hall, Guan Kaihui and Qiao Shenming looked calm, fully believing that He Xiu would be able to return safely.
"Uncle Guan, He'er, Brother Qiao, I'm back. ”
Guan Zhihe's wrinkled thrush immediately flattened, and her eyes were full of distress: "Brother He Xiu, those thieves didn't hurt you, did they?"
The two people sitting in the back saw Guan Zhihe's eager inquiry, and couldn't help laughing: "He'er, Brother He is standing in front of you safe and sound, you say, is he injured?" ”
Guan Zhihe didn't care about this, and just asked him long and short questions, which made He Xiu's face blush, and he didn't know how to answer.
It wasn't until Guan Kaihui opened his mouth to ask that he started talking about the matter, and everyone heard that the bandit leader turned out to be such a person, and they couldn't help but ask in their hearts: "Xiu'er, how do you plan to deal with this matter?"
"Back to Uncle Guan, hasn't the Zhou family always wanted to compete with us? He Xiu already had an abacus in his heart, and then said: "We have no time to carve the order of Su City, we have finally opened the market of Su City, and we can't just give up." ”
"Brother He is saying that he wants the Zhou family to take over this business so that the business with Su Cheng can be kept open, right?" Qiao Shenming obviously understood: "The Zhou family has been imitating our carving techniques, and the finished products are on par with us, this method is effective, you can give it a try." ”
"Haha, Xiu'er, you can think like this, it means that what the old man told you that day, you have already understood, you are really a young man. Guan Kaihui did not hesitate to praise him, which made He Xiu happy.
"He'er has a deeper idea," Guan Zhihe said unrelentingly, "This is just the right time to test whether that gang of bandits was instructed by the Zhou family." ”
Everyone was smiling, and Guan Kaihui's hearty voice was the highest: "Haha, my lotus is not only growing in the city, but also has a quick mind and is smart in ice and snow, which is really gratifying to my father." ”
The remaining two also cast admiration for her, and Guan Zhihe wanted this effect, so she simply accepted all these praises with a smile.
"Okay, then Daddy will ask you again, if the next order from Sioux City is transported to Sioux City, how should you deal with those bandits?" Guan Kaihui touched his beard and asked lovingly.
"It is possible to pass through the other three gates. ”
"Yes, but in that case, wouldn't we break the contract?"
"Huh? this ...... This ......"
Guan Zhihe was speechless when asked, Qiao Shenming also thought about it, and He Xiu looked at Guan Kaihui's expression, this expression was full of thoroughness, and the answer was inside.
"Uncle Guan is saying that this gang of bandits is connected with the government?"
"Yes, Nanyang Kingdom is currently in a state where all the people are soldiers, and if I were those bandits, they would definitely not appear at this time, so I guess they should have an inexplicable relationship with the government. ”
"Uncle Guan, if that's the case, Xiu'er has an idea to ensure that the statue is safely transported into Sioux City, and the bandits can only watch our convoy pass in front of them, and there is nothing we can do about it. ”
With a snort, the faces of the three of them froze on He Xiu's body at the same time, and Guan Zhihe couldn't help but ask, "What way?"
"Someone please!"
"Who?" Guan Zhihe looked at him with staring eyes and asked.
"Uncle Guan, I want to personally invite this person out and introduce it to everyone!" He Xiu glanced at the three of them with his eyes and said confidently.
"Then He'er will go with you too!"
He Xiu smiled and shook his head, and then said that after the three of them waited for the Zhou family's horse team to come back, they would decide whether to invite that person or not.
Since He Xiu's words have come to this, the three of them are not reluctant, and then Qiao Shenming will make a series of detailed reports on the sales of seeds and farm tools and the silver obtained, Guan Kaihui is serious, touching the mustache, nodding incessantly, obviously very satisfied with these results.
After the Zhou family got the report of the Guan family again, they were so excited that they were about to explode, and Zhou Songli personally came to thank him and personally invited He Xiu to the mansion as a guest.
He Xiu's heart was not smooth, he was not in the mood to accept the invitation at all, and besides, he had never liked the atmosphere of the banquet, so he replaced Sha Jiannan with him.
Until late at night, I heard the report from the family, saying that Sha Jiannan was drunk and unconscious, and he was sleeping soundly in the bedroom at the moment, so He Xiu slept with peace of mind.
When he woke up, it was still early, He Xiu simply filled his stomach, then came to the backyard with a sword, stood at the place where Guan Zhihe often practiced Xuangong, concentrated and closed his breath, closed his eyes and put his body in the most relaxed state.
A willow leaf was blown down by the breeze, He Xiu argued in his right ear, suddenly pulled out the Mousse sword, and swung towards the willow leaf that was about to land.
The fallen leaves were blown up again by a gust of sword wind and landed on the back of Mu Si's sword, and He Xiu began to practice swinging his sword according to the moves on the complete book of Xuangong techniques, from the first stage of the Xuanzhi level.
Still closing his eyes and arguing, Mu Sijian shuttled back and forth with the direction of the fallen leaves, but he never hurt the fallen leaves for half a minute, He Xiu's body sometimes jumped, sometimes turned over in the air, and Mu Sijian kept following the direction of the fallen leaves, up, down, up and down.
The fish probe in the dead lake, the whole set of moves of the mysterious man was completed, and the fallen leaves fell in the air at this time, He Xiu put Mu Sijian's right hand behind his arm, stretched out his left hand, spread out his palm, and the fallen leaves fell on the palm of his hand: "Let He'er and Mr. Sha laugh." ”
"Wonderful, wonderful, simply wonderful!"
"Brother He Xiu, He'er also has to learn your one-eared argumentative skills. ”
The origin of the one-ear voice argument ability also starts from the diplomatic battle with the man in black in the cave, after that battle, He Xiu found that he was in the dark, and the recognition of his right ear was very keen, and it could be said that the sound of his hair fluttering could be heard.
And it is not a problem to distinguish the footsteps of others, and anyone who is in close contact with them on a daily basis can distinguish who he is from his footsteps.
The arrival of Guan Zhihe and Sha Jiannan had already been captured by himself: "Hehe, He'er, Mr. Sha, you have won the award, by the way, you also got up so early?"
"He'er knows that your Xuangong has reached the level of Xuanshi, and she is afraid that you will underestimate you, so she made an agreement with me to ask me for advice at this hour every day. ”
Guan Zhihe thought that he had told his thoughts, and his face was a little unbearable, but when he thought of his sweetheart's ability to close his eyes and catch willow leaves just now, he smiled shyly: "Yes, yes, I don't want Brother He Xiu to look down on it." ”
