Volume 2 Chapter 17 Encounter with a Thief at Night
The days of Jincheng finally entered a peaceful time of cultivation.
Ma Yuande didn't know what the reason, he only stayed in Jincheng for five days, and was invited back by a holy decree.
Knowing that Xing Shengbin was at this time, he admired the backer of the Seventeenth Prince even more in his heart.
Life is finally calm, the life of 6 to 7 every day is still quite fulfilling, every day back to the inn, you can flirt with Liu Rushi, talk about love, exchange cultivation experience, and time passes day by day.
More than two months later, Xing Shengbin spent his first Chinese New Year's Eve in Jincheng in this world.
After these two months, Xing Shengbin is already a qualified urban manager, and the streets and alleys of Jincheng have basically been walked all over, and the uncles and aunts who set up stalls, the big girls and daughters-in-law, and the strong young men are almost all familiar.
In the past two months, Xing Shengbin has also successfully opened the third cave, just because he has focused on the work of opening the caves during this time, and the realm has not made any great progress, and he is still on the fourth floor of the foundation. During this time, the biggest improvement was none other than the Judgment Six Styles.
Xing Shengbin used his spare time to discuss moves with several friends and compete with each other, and his swordsmanship can be said to have improved rapidly. There is also a more flexible understanding of the sword moves in the Six Styles of Judgment.
Liu Rushi also got her wish, and got the six-style mental formula, Liu Rushi after two months of study, finally has a point, the vigilance that Jianghu people should have, and the various means of stealing doors are also making progress at a very stable speed.
On Chinese New Year's Eve, I was supposed to accompany Liu Rushi at the inn, but today is the festival, and the people on the street are too mixed at night, and the Five Cities Terracotta Division has to send more manpower to increase the time of patrolling the city and the frequency of changing guards, just to let the people of Jincheng have a comfortable Chinese New Year's Eve.
The weather has already entered the cold winter, and everyone's attire has also changed, with a cotton coat distributed outside the iron armor, a shearling pants on the legs, and thick cotton shoes and cotton gloves on the feet.
It was supposed to be a day for the family to celebrate the New Year with their relatives, but now it's good, not only is it a foreign land, but it can't enjoy life well in the inn.
The snowflakes falling from the sky are like pieces of falling chicken feathers, and a few snowflakes can cover the ground, but tonight, no one is destined to sleep.
Firecrackers and fireworks come and go, and when the time has passed, there will be fireworks jumping into the air from time to time.
The number of pedestrians on the streets has gradually decreased, but the number of city patrols has not decreased.
Jiang Shun, who led the way in front of his head, yawned and shouted to the back:
"After the brothers finished this post, Lao Tzu invited everyone to drink two bowls of mutton bone soup. ”
Hearing this, the people who followed behind couldn't help but start to heckle.
Two bowls of water is the most famous mutton restaurant in this area, the so-called two bowls of water, which refers to the mutton soup in the pot, which is made by thousands of stews, and the two bowls of water are boiled into a bowl of water.
The milky white mutton soup is extraordinarily fragrant, coupled with two taels of mutton and one or two haggis, a bowl with a large basin, and a bowl of belly, which can make people sweat directly, the only thing that is not beautiful is that there is no big cake to eat.
Xing Shengbin, who was following behind Jiang Shun, opened his mouth and asked:
"Brother Jiang, do you want to send the two brothers to buy a few catties of boiled cakes, he won't fight hunger just by drinking mutton soup!"
In the past two months, Jiang Shun has seen through Xing Shengbin.
Because of his future eating habits, Xing Shengbin has been labeled as a gluttonous foodie by Jiang Shun.
Anything with anything, you can give the head of the talk, and the taste is really good, and for Xing Shengbin's suggestion, Jiang Shun swallowed two mouthfuls of saliva and said:
"Later, after this post, you go with Xiao Liuzi, you girl, in addition to eating, can you do something serious, as soon as you talk about eating, you will be energetic, a little bit of interest is not okay. ”
"I'll try it this year, don't fucking think about eating, work harder, give our five-city soldiers and horses a little face, don't fall off the list when the time comes, and cry to our brothers." ”
Hearing this, several people behind him also began to coax.
In two months, the people of the Five Cities Terracotta Division may not have recognized all of them, but the people who can patrol the streets together are basically the thirty or fifty people, and they are all familiar with each other.
For Xing Shengbin, the top name in Liujia, he often uses various ways, various means, and various words to connect with the examination, and then it is a flirtation. For such ridicule, Xing Shengbin is helpless, who made him the youngest, but the biggest name.
However, the men in the army are like this, and when they say it, they are just laughing, and they don't have any bad intentions, for this, Xing Shengbin still feels very comfortable.
After all, in such an environment, he doesn't have to think about guarding against others, and he doesn't have to worry about small actions in the dark all the time, he can also let go and laugh and play with everyone.
returned to Zhumadian, changed to another shift, and the group went to the mutton restaurant with two bowls of water.
And Xing Shengbin went directly to the forbidden army named Xiao Liuzi to buy cakes at the bakery two streets away.
Ten people have to have a cake of ten catties and eight catties, and it is really difficult for one person to keep it, but with Xing Shengbin's fine iron ring, there is no need to worry, as for Xiao Liuzi, it is completely to make Xing Shengbin not lonely on the road.
said that it was the little sixth son, but among the five cities of the Soldiers and Horses, there was no one younger than Xing Shengbin, this little sixth son, Xing Shengbin could only call him 'Sixth Brother'.
The two men were running, and suddenly two crossbow arrows came from a great distance.
Xiao Liuzi's reaction was extremely fast, although he was wearing a lot of iron armor and cotton on his body, he still reacted in time and avoided it in his body.
But Xing Shengbin didn't have such a ability, the crossbow arrows came quickly, and they were tailless short arrows, which were not easy to detect.
When Xing Shengbin found out, the short arrow had already come to ten meters in front of him, and no matter how fast his reaction was, it couldn't compare to the speed of the crossbow arrow.
The crossbow arrow pierced Xing Shengbin's left chest fiercely, but fortunately it was discovered in advance, and after a slight deviation, the short arrow did not directly pierce the heart, but shot a pair near the shoulder blade.
The cold iron arrow instantly penetrated the iron armor, but in an instant, Xing Shengbin had already felt the cold arrow body of the iron arrow, and that cold feeling was spreading towards his whole body.
This attack came too suddenly, and Xing Shengbin didn't react at all, but in order to avoid secondary injury, Xing Shengbin directly used the power of the short arrow to rotate his body, turned over and hid by the wall.
In order to increase its power, the crossbow arrow will not be set with a feather arrow tail that adjusts the direction, it is a solid iron arrow, but fortunately, this arrow is not a wolf tooth arrow, if it is a wolf tooth arrow, Xing Shengbin's entire left shoulder will not be wanted.
Xing Shengbin had just hid in the corner when a group of black shadows jumped out of the houses on both sides and attacked the two of them.
Seeing this scene, how dare Sheng Bin delay, his right hand directly summoned the six-grade long sword, stretched out his hand, and cut off the short arrow on his shoulder, and the iron armor of the Yuan soldiers was also included in the soldier's den.
The short arrow in the body, wearing the iron armor again, is too inconvenient to move, and it is easy to be in the activity, the iron armor and the short arrow do not fit, causing secondary damage to the wound, Xing Shengbin can only give up the defensive iron armor.
On the other side, Xiao Liuzi dodged the short arrow, saw Xing Shengbin hit the arrow, and wanted to support, but was stopped by the black-clothed man who rushed over, so he could only be in a hurry, but there was no way, not even a chance to ask for help.
This attack came too suddenly, and he was seriously injured before he could meet anyone, and Xing Shengbin was really annoyed.
But in the bursts of abnormalities that came from the short arrows he felt, Xing Shengbin knew that this time it seemed that it was really going to be bad, and the short arrows were actually poisonous.
Xing Shengbin hurriedly sealed the twelve acupoints on his shoulder, and used his innate true qi to try to detoxify.
It's just that the man in black who attacked will not give Xing Shengbin that time to slowly expel the poison.
