CHAPTER XXV
When Xuanwu and Zhu Zimo first met, Xuanwu was only four years old, and Zhu Zimo was only ten years old.
Now it's only fourteen years, and Xuanwu has forgotten how domineering and terrifying the man in front of her was back then.
At that time, Xuanwu was an orphan girl who begged on the street, and even children of a few years old dared to bully her, and even snatched food from the dog's mouth, gnawed the bark of a tree and ate weeds when she was very hungry.
In that year, Xuanwu wandered to the suburbs of Daliang but was forcibly caught by someone's teeth, they said that although she was a beggar, she was not bad, and she would definitely be able to sell it for a good price if she was picked up and sent to a rich family.
Ren Yazi grabbed Xuanwu's shoulder with one hand, and pulled Xuanwu's hair with the other, she resisted, she bit and grabbed her human teeth, and bit each other's flesh and skin in one bite.
Later, the little Xuanwu was slapped to the ground by the human teeth, his chin slammed to the ground, his mouth was a mixture of dirt and blood, and there seemed to be broken teeth.
At that time, a boy in a clean and neat light purple robe appeared in front of Xuanwu, who was unkempt, wolf-bรจi, and even ugly, with a smile like spring breeze and rain.
"Let her go. The finely carved facial features, the smile as warm as the March sun, stunned Xuanwu lying on the ground.
"Yo! a nosy little kid! looks really good, and sending it to the Chu Pavilion for a few years is definitely a hot item. Brothers, let's catch them together!" the man who was bitten by Xuanwu on the wrist smiled very maliciously.
"Huh...... Is it? You're going to ...... me. Do you want to send it to Chu Pavilion?" The cowardly voice that belongs to a child, but the tone has a coldness that does not belong to a child.
"Yes, what? You don't want to, hahaha......" One of them laughed with his head tilted.
Afterwards...... What happened after that?
Ah, by the way, it was the boy in purple who smiled and walked slowly to the faces of those people's teeth, the wind flew up, his hands fell, and in an instant, those people's teeth were in different places.
At that moment, looking at the blood dripping all over the ground, Xuanwu only felt fear.
The past that has been buried for a long time was once the past of the Xuanwu nightmare, and it was lightly evoked like that.
However, the boy threw away the dagger, walked up to Xuanwu with a smile, and stretched out his hand: "Get up." โ
Looking at the palm stretched out in front of her, Xuanwu hesitated for a long time, and finally put her dirty and mud-stained hand on the palm with fair skin and slender knuckles under the light purple sleeves.
Looking at the white jade palm gently holding the dirty little hand that couldn't even distinguish the skin color, Xuanwu at that moment was ashamed of himself.
He took her hand and helped her to her feet. His hand was a circle larger than hers, hard, clean, and warm. Her hands were soft, dirty, and cold.
He smiled and asked her, "What's your name?"
She stared at him blankly, but did not answer.
He smiled and asked her, "Where are you from?"
She still didn't answer.
He kept smiling and asked her, "What about your family?"
She remained silent......
Finally, he smiled and asked helplessly, "You can't speak?"
She finally had a reaction, nodding softly, hesitantly.
He smiled again, more heartwarmer than before. She heard him say, "It's okay, I can teach you if you can't speak, as long as you swear, you will only be loyal to me in this life, and I will give you a qiฤ that you can have." โ
At that time, the warm smile of the purple-clothed boy and the spring smile-like smile of the handsome and extraordinary man in front of him gradually overlapped, and Xuanwu once again felt the kind of fear he had back then.
How could she forget that the man in front of her hates betrayal and deception the most, and the most disgusting thing is that someone challenges his authority!
"Xuanwu, I remember when I met you, you weren't as tall as this bookcase! Not to mention, your face was covered with blood and soil, and in a blink of an eye, you have grown into a slim girl!" Quietly looking at Xuanwu who knelt at his feet, Zhu Zimo's voice was very light and light, like a memory, like emotion.
"Yes. Father. Xuanwu has always remembered the grace of his lord's nurturing and teaching. Staring at the purple and light gray hem of his clothes in front of him, Xuanwu trembled but replied sincerely.
Really, she always remembered Zhu Zimo's kindness. If there was no Zhu Zimo back then, there would never be the leader of the Cangdie Assassin Regiment who made people in the Nine Kingdoms frightened when they heard about it-Xuanwu!
"Hehe!" A very light laugh, Zhu Zimo said lightly: "Xuanwu, do you remember what I told you when I promised you to the White Tiger?"
Hearing this, Xuanwu nodded heavily: "Xuanwu remembers." โ
"Ye said, Ye has always treated the four of us as brothers and sisters, but there are some things, since Ye doesn't sue us, there is naturally a reason for Ye. The four of us just need to remember that although we are only subordinates of the master, we are all people who have spent great effort to cultivate, as long as we are loyal to the master, the master will never treat us badly. There is no need to recall, what Zhu Zimo said back then has blurted out.
Touching the top of Xuanwu's hair with his left hand, he clearly felt Xuanwu's whole body tremble, and Zhu Zimo smiled more and more warmly: "Just remember." I'm lazy, and I don't like to repeat what I've said in the past. โ
Swallowing a mouthful of saliva with difficulty, Xuanwu's voice trembled with a hint: "Xuanwu remember!"
Retracting his left hand that was touching the top of his Xuanwu hair, Zhu Zimo recovered his former coldness: "Okay, get up!"
"Yes. Xuanwu's voice responded in a low voice.
Standing up, seeing that Zhu Zimo's face had returned to his previous coldness, Xuanwu had the courage to ask, "Master, the person who eavesdropped...... Do you know who it is?"
Zhu Zimo played with the wolf in his hand that he had never put down, didn't look at Xuanwu, and said lightly: "I probably know who it is." This is not the first time, it's just that you have told me something from the Zhu Mansion before, and I was not the head of the Zhu Mansion at that time, so I didn't bother to care. But now it seems that it doesn't work, let a fine work stay by his side all the time, it's not safe to be safe, and something will happen sooner or later. โ
Xuanwu didn't know who Zhu Zimo was talking about, but said to Zhu Zimo suspiciously: "Master, the little guy who brought me here just now asked me about Cangdieyu in front of the mansion, and he also tested me with internal force, and then he tried it with words several times......
Xuanwu didn't finish speaking, but she knew that her grandfather must have understood what she meant.
"I know, you better go to Jiangnan first! It's the right thing to do what you should do, and I have my own ideas for the rest. Zhu Zimo raised his hand and waved, signaling that Xuanwu could go.
Seeing this, Xuanwu answered "yes" and then turned around and walked to the door to open the door and go out.
If Xuanwu hadn't been injured internally, he could have used his light skills to sneak into Zhu's mansion to find Zhu Zimo this time, and he would not have been suspicious. But Xuanwu was so unlucky, because when he was not sure where Zhu Zimo was in Zhu's mansion, Xuanwu was not good at sneaking into Zhu's mansion rashly, if he was discovered, he would only cause trouble.
Therefore, the safest way is to enter the Zhu Mansion openly under the pretext of an excuse, and since the matter to be reported has been reported at this moment, Xuanwu wants to walk out of the Zhu Mansion openly.
In the study, looking at the wolf in his hand, Zhu Zimo's eyes were cold.
"Click", accompanied by Zhu Zimo's sneer, the wolf with the thick tail finger in his hand was actually pinched off by him with his right thumb and index finger!
**
Ziyu sent the crepe doctor away and turned back to Zhu's mansion, and halfway to the Nuanxiang Pavilion, Ziyu met Lin Zhisheng who was in a hurry.
Lin Zhisheng didn't seem to see Ziyu, and walked over from Ziyu quickly.
Turning around, Ziyu wanted to call Lin Zhisheng, who was passing by her, to ask what was going on in the front hall, but before Ziyu could open his mouth, Lin Zhisheng turned around at the corner of the corridor in front of him and disappeared.
Ziyu looked at the corner of the corridor where Lin Zhisheng disappeared for a while, and finally just shook his head, pursed his lips and turned around and continued to walk towards the Warm Fragrance Pavilion.
In other words, why is Lin Zhisheng so anxious? There is no other reason, but because of the butterfly-shaped jade pendant that Xuanwu handed over to him in front of the mansion gate as a "token".
They really thought that Lin Zhisheng didn't know that jade pendant? What are you kidding! As long as you are a person on the Tao, whether it is business, officialdom, or martial arts, black and white, no one will know what the Cangdie Jade is! It is the personal token of the leader of the Cangdie Assassin Regiment!
Although Lin Zhisheng had never seen Cang Butterfly Jade, he had heard others describe the appearance of Cang Die Jade - Winged Snake Blood Jade Butterfly!
In the past two years, the Cangdie Assassin Regiment can be said to have disturbed the martial arts of the Nine Kingdoms, and even the officials and businessmen of the Nine Kingdoms have not been at peace.
It is reported that the Cangdie Assassin Regiment is all women, they behave perversely, whether it is the people in the martial arts ** Baidao or the business officialdom, as long as they don't like it, they will kill that person.
Over the years, thousands of people have been killed at the hands of the Cangdie Assassin Regiment! Among them, there are many people in the officialdom of the Nine Kingdoms, clean officials, corrupt officials, and even more people in the martial arts.
Two years ago, the former leader of the Martial Arts Alliance, Aolong, was killed by the Cangdie Assassin Group. After the death of Aolong, the group of heroes had no leader, so that in the past two years, there has been no one to lead the people in the martial arts, and there has been a ...... between sects
Alas, in short, today's martial arts of the Nine Kingdoms can be described as black and white, and the black smoke and miasma are chaotic.
At first, those martial arts people who prided themselves on being righteous people were still shouting to avenge the dragon, but after working for more than half a year, the martial arts people didn't even find the shadow of the Cangdie Assassin Group, and finally had to stop fighting their own methods.
But fortunately, this year is the triennial martial arts league leader election meeting, counting the days, there are still three months, and at that time, he Lin Zhisheng may have to go to Jiangnan to make up for the "lively".
However, these are not things he should worry about for the time being, and the most important thing for Lin Lin Zhisheng at present is to report the news.
Now, Cangdieyu appeared in Zhu's mansion, no matter what the relationship between the woman in purple and Zhu Zimo was, Lin Zhisheng felt that he had to report it to that person quickly.
If there was no such person, there would be no Lin Zhisheng today, so no matter what that person wants him to do, he will never give up, not to mention just a small inquiry!
