Volume 1 The Decisive Battle of the Forbidden Chapter 175 The Grass That Grows in the Heart (I)
Following the voice, I saw Selimu looking at her with a look of surprise in his eyes.
Xiao Bodhisattva's face bloomed with a smile, and he said with some excitement: "Uncle Sailimu, I am really happy to see you again." ”
When Sailim was about to say something, he was interrupted by Mo Xichao, who was walking in front, and said, "Uncle, get busy." ”
After saying this, he walked to the study on his own.
"Eh!" Sailimu agreed, glanced at Xiao Bodhisattva with some reluctance, shook his head and walked away with a smile.
Xiao Bodhisattva smiled and nodded at Sailimu, then walked and followed Mo Xichao into the study.
After entering the door, Mo Xichao was already sitting behind the book table. Xiao Bodhisattva began to look at the furnishings of this study. A bookshelf, a book table, a tea set, an inkstone, a pen stand with two brushes, three or five chairs on both sides of the desk, and then there is no more time for him. The layout of the study is very small, but it is better to be simple and clean, which is very close to Xiao Bodhisattva's imagination before entering the door.
"He has been a tidy man since he was a child. Thinking like this, Xiao Bodhisattva sighed and sat opposite Mo Xi. first spoke: "In the past ten years, you must have had a very hard time." ”
Mo Xichao didn't even look at him, took a sip of the teacup, and said in a flat voice: "It's not bitter, I took an errand for a talker, I often haunt the mansions of high-ranking officials and nobles, my income is not bad, I can eat a meal of meat every three or five days, and I can afford to hire a few servants." Life is simple, but it is better than living comfortably. ”
Xiao Bodhisattva said: "From your words, I can hear that you are not doing very well. Since the age of seven or eight, when he fled here from Daliao, he must have suffered a lot of grievances and suffered a lot. ”
Mo Xichao said: "You think too much. ”
Such a conversation fell silent at this time. Both of them stopped talking, and the sense of alienation that they hadn't seen for many years gradually became prominent. Xiao Bodhisattva could clearly feel the indifference on Mo Xichao's body that rejected people thousands of miles away. She wanted to get closer, to break the alienation, but she didn't know how to speak.
After a long time, Xiao Bodhisattva finally couldn't bear such a suffocating silence, so he said, "You must hate me very much, don't you?"
Mo Xichao shook his head and said, "Why hate you? Besides, you are not qualified to let me hate." Why bother yourself? ”
The indifference in Mo Xichao's words made Xiao Bodhisattva feel heartache, his nose was sore, and his eyes turned red. The jade beans hang in the corners of the eyes and may fall off at any time. He said softly, "I can hear that you must hate me." After all, because of my father, the Xiao family, who was killed, was wiped out. ”
Mo Xichao said: "You are still the same as before, you like to treat others with yourself." It's not good, it's really not good. Now that I think about it, the Xiao family's extermination has nothing to do with your father, but because the Xiao family's power is too huge, it makes Yelu Duo Tart feel uneasy. Your father's business is just a trigger. ”
Xiao Bodhisattva wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes and said, "Yelu Duo Tart is dead, and now the emperor of Da Liao is his younger brother, and Yelu has taken it." The liquidation of the Xiao family has been stopped in recent years. A, go back with me, return to Daliao, and get back the power and glory you deserve. You are now the only male in the Xiao family, and the Xiao family needs you. ”
Mo Xichao smiled, his smile was full of disdain and banter, and said, "Xiao Bodhisattva, if there is nothing else, you should go back." I'm doing well now, and I don't need the halo on the Xiao family's head to satisfy my vanity. Let's put it this way, the Xiao family needs me, but I don't need the Xiao family. What do I mean, do you understand?"
Xiao Bodhisattva took a deep breath and said: "But after all, you have the blood of the Xiao family in your body, your surname is also Xiao, your name is called, Xiao has no regrets, you ......"
Speaking of this, Mo Xichao directly cut him off and said, "No, you are wrong." Xiao Wuregret died more than ten years ago. My current surname is Mo, my name is obscure, and my name is sorry for the dynasty. ”
Xiao Bodhisattva asked, "You took your mother's surname?"
After this question, Xiao Bodhisattva smiled and said softly: "It doesn't matter if you follow your mother's surname, your mother herself is a gentle and lovely beauty. He is charitable and has saved countless people. You originally looked like her, and you took her surname, which is also very good. ”
At this moment, the expression on Mo Xichao's face finally changed, he sneered with a gloomy face, and said, "Xiao Bodhisattva, give you a warning, please don't mention my mother in front of me." Because you are not worthy, the whole of Western Liao, the whole Khitan is not worthy. So, if you dare to mention my mother in front of me again......"
Speaking of this, Mo Xichao pulled out the long sword in his hand, the sword was cold, his eyes were cold, and he stared at Xiao Bodhisattva and said: "The newly acquired sword is called 'Beauty Under the Moon'." You haven't drunk the blood yet, and I hope you're not the first to die under this sword. ”
After Xiao Bodhisattva took out the "beauty under the moon", he finally understood that the previous relationship between the two people had been completely broken, and he couldn't help crying, and said in a trembling voice: "Are you really so ruthless? We had a very good relationship when we were young, I am your cousin, the only two Xiao family members in this world, our blood is the closest, why do you refuse to forgive me? ”
Mo Xichao laughed and said, "If you only use tears to impress me, then I can tell you clearly now that these little methods are useless to me." By the way, I will tell you a little useful news, there is also a Xiao family alive, he is in the 'Valley of the Emperors', calling himself the grandson of Xiao Wang, if you want to continue the bloodline of the Xiao family, go to him. ”
Xiao Bodhisattva wiped away his tears and said: "How can he compare with you, you are naturally noble, and he is just an illegitimate son of a concubine family." A, come back with me. I can do anything for you as long as you want. ”
Mo Xichao chuckled and said, "Xiao Bodhisattva, you have finally succeeded in mobilizing a little of my emotions, and your current appearance makes me feel disgusted. It's okay, put away your tears, these words are really useless. I have a friend who said that a show like yours is called a 'bitter drama', and although you don't understand what it means, I don't bother to explain it to you. So, Xiao Bodhisattva, please go back. ”
Xiao Bodhisattva knew that no matter how much he said at this moment, it would not be of much use. sighed, put away his sadness, reluctantly glanced at Mo Xichao, stood up, moved, and walked out. When he was about to leave the door, he turned around and said, "I will come to see you again." ”
After Xiao Bodhisattva left, a trace of evil appeared on Mo Xichao's face, sneered slightly, and put the sword into the sheath.
But at this moment, Sailimu walked in from outside, sighed and said: "Why should the young master embarrass the Bodhisattva Niang? Presumably she has had a hard time all these years, she is alone in Xiliao, without relatives, and there are people everywhere who want to kill her. It's not easy to survive until now. ”
Mo Xichao smiled indifferently and said, "It's just a play, if you don't do this, how can you make the other party believe it in the future?"
Zhai Limu couldn't bear it, but he could only sigh and be speechless.
……
When Li Le pondered that Liu Qi would go undercover in the "Youlan Villa", and then where to find a suitable killer to train his assassination team, he never imagined that it would not be long before the killer would be sent to the door by himself.
It's night
The crescent moon is like a hook
Baoding Mansion, Xingyunzhuang.
This place was originally called "Li Garden", and it was the annex of the Li family of Jing'an Hou. It was only because the martial arts hero Long Xiaoyun and Li Xunhuan had eight worships, so Li Xunhuan gave this manor to Long Xiaoyun. Later, it was renamed "Xingyunzhuang".
Since Long Xiaoyun became the master of this Zhuangzi, many people from the rivers and lakes have come to defect. He is very generous, and there is an endless stream of people who come to fight the autumn wind.
This night, after Long Xiaoyun and a group of "martial arts celebrities" had a feast, they walked to the bedroom with a slight drunkenness. When passing by a merchant, Long Xiaoyun heard someone talking, faintly saying "Li Tanhua" or something. It didn't really sound very real, but it managed to pique his interest.
As the saying goes, you must know your confidants and listen to what you say behind your back. Long Xiaoyun was attracted by their words, so he slowed down his steps and quietly turned his back in the direction where the conversation came from.
The conversation was between two people, the two heroes who had just come to "Xingyunzhuang" in the past few days. One is called "Zhenhai Sword" Du Zijing, and the other is called "Bafang Knife" Chen Qingmu.
I only heard Du Zijing say: "Brother Chen, the master of Longzhuang, this Zhuangzi is really generous, but I don't know how long this scenery can last." ”
Chen Qingmu said: "Why did Brother Du say this?"
Du Zijing said: "You and I both know that this Zhuangzi and this wealth were all given by Li Tanhua to the owner of Longzhuang...... Ahh......h
Chen Qingmu asked: "No, right? How can the things that were sent out have to be returned? Li Tanhua is a figure who values friends over money, where would he do such ridiculous things?"
Du Zijing sighed: "Alas, how can there be a lifelong friendship in this world? It's like the matter of Zhuo Shenggu and Zhang Xiaoxie that circulated on the rivers and lakes a few days ago. The two are also righteous brothers, one is the leader of the 'Eight-legged Gang', the other is the owner of the 'Qingshan Castle', and in the end, it is not because of a woman who is making trouble. I heard that in the end, Zhang Xiaoxie actually killed Zhuo Shenggu with his own hands, and occupied the property of the 'Eight Feet Gang' and all his women. ”
Chen Qingmu said with a smile: "Zhuo Shenggu and Zhang Xiaoxie, both of them are unrighteous people, and it is not strange to do those disgusting things. How can Brother Du compare them with the owner of the Dragon Village and Li Tanhua? The two of Long and Li are friends who were killed in the sea of corpses and blood, and the owner of the Dragon Village has a life-saving grace for Li Tanhua, where will it be like what you said, Brother Du. Brother Du is a little worried. ”
Du Zijing shook his head and said: "Li Tanhua's character naturally won't do these things, but he still has a brother, but it's not necessarily." ”
Chen Qingmu asked, "What do you mean by this?"
