Chapter 34: Xiaojiabao
This antidote worked quickly, and after Yan Zhenying felt that the blood and true qi in her body were unimpeded, she jumped up without thinking long and wanted to settle accounts with Ding Ruoshuang, but fortunately she was stopped by Pei Yao, and said angrily: "Miss Yan, don't forget that you just picked up a life and came back, and now you want to send it to death?" β
"You!" Yan Zhenying turned his head and glared at her.
"Sister! Don't make any more trouble! Yan Yiqin finally spoke, but it was to help Pei Yao.
Yan Zhenying swallowed this breath angrily and sat back.
Ding Ruoshuang and Shen Xiaoxun got up one after another, he hugged his fists and said politely to Shen Xiaoxun: "Brother Zhou, Ding has taken a step first!" After finishing speaking, the corners of his mouth curled slightly, swept Yan Zhenying's face contemptuously, and left the tea house without squinting.
Yan Zhenying's face turned red with anger for a moment.
"Lin'er, let's go!" Shen Xiaoxun said and walked in front by himself.
Pei Yao followed.
"Please stay, two of you!" Yan Yiqin's slightly immature voice sounded behind Pei Yao.
Shen Xiaoxun and Pei Yao stopped and turned around, he smiled slightly and asked, "What else is important about this young man?" β
"In the next words, I can't talk about any young man or anything like that, I just want to thank the two benefactors in person!" Yan Yiqin smiled and replied, "I don't know the names of the two benefactors? The grace of saving lives is unforgettable! β
Yan Zhenying heard Shen Xiaoxun and Ding Ruoshuang's chat, and knew that their life-saving benefactor was not a decent and upright gentleman, so she sneered at them. Now seeing that her younger brother still wants to "repay the favor", she hurriedly pulled his clothes lightly behind him.
Yan Yiqin didn't pay attention to his vain and snobbish sister at all, and stared at Shen Xiaoxun and the two with a smile.
Shen Xiaoxun sensed Yan Zhenying's dissatisfaction, smiled coldly in his heart, but on the surface, he still said respectfully: "In Xialishan to send Zhou Langhe, this girl is my maidservant Lin'er!" β
"Zhou Daxia! Miss Lin'er! Are you going to Xiaojiabao? Why don't we go the same way? β
In response to Yan Yiqin's kind invitation, Yan Qiying immediately said urgently: "I want to sit here for a while!" β
Yan Yiqin felt that he had been slapped in the face in public, and turned his head to glare at his sister fiercely.
"No! The two of us still have to hurry, one step ahead! There will be a period later! Shen Xiaoxun turned around and left very familiarly, Pei Yao was stunned for a moment and followed, and she also made a "later" gesture to Yan Yiqin before leaving.
Yan Yiqin hurriedly yelled at his sister, "What are you doing here? They saved us! β
"Why are you talking to me so little? The two of them are from the evil sect, our Moyi faction is a famous and decent family, how can we deal with these people, if it spreads, how can our faction gain a foothold in the rivers and lakes? Yan Zhenying pointed to the other two junior disciples and scolded Yan Yiqin.
The two little junior disciples sitting at the table were stunned when they heard this, and said in their hearts: This refers to Sang scolding Huai too obviously, right......
Yan Yiqin didn't bother to pay attention to her, and walked to the table and sat down as if listening to the wind in his ears, with smoke still coming out of his nose.
Pei Yao rode a horse and silently followed behind Shen Xiaoxun, and when she was less than two miles away from Xiaojiabao, the horses under the crotch of the two of them paced forward in all directions.
"Brother Shen, how do you know that Zhou Langhe knows Ding Ruoshuang?" Pei Yao finally didn't vomit and was unhappy about the questions that had been held back for a long time along the way.
"Don't forget our mission this time, we have to help Zhou Langhe win the position of the leader of the martial arts alliance, I must be familiar with everything about him, including his friends, or won't I prepare in vain in this half a year?" Shen Xiaoxun looked over his head and smiled softly.
"Oh!" Pei Yao Bing nodded smoothly, and said unfairly, "This Agarwood Begonia Order is really not simple, we have to do even the reluctant thing of replacing the prince for the civet cat such as seizing the martial arts alliance leader for him...... And he only has to stay in the Begonia Pavilion to eat and wait for good news......"
"After all, this is Xiaojiabao's territory, in order to avoid revealing flaws, it's better for you to talk less!" Shen Xiaoxun was very gentle even to blame.
Pei Yao's face turned red, and she said glutinously: "Hmm! β
Before they arrived, the two had already arrived at Xiaojiabao.
It is said that Xiaojiabao is not only a sect in the rivers and lakes, but also a wealthy man in Liangzhou. The wealth in the fort is compelling, and the food and lodging of people from all walks of life are arranged in an orderly manner by the family servants in Xiaojiabao. However, because Zhou Langhe and Lin'er belong to the evil demon crooked category, they only live in the same courtyard with other evil sects, such as Ding Ruoshuang, and the famous and decent people have always only been in the company of the famous and decent people.
As a hospitality, the former martial arts alliance leader Xiao Keqian Xiao Fort Lord just said a few words to the two of them and asked the family members to take them to the other courtyard to rest.
It didn't take long for the four of Yan Jiying to arrive, and they were naturally scolded by Yan Kangluo, the head of the Moyi faction, and Long Yixin, the wife of the head, especially Yan Jiying, the initiator, who was scolded the worst. However, the poor person must have something to hate, Yan Zhenying is originally stubborn and never listens to people, plus she and Yan Yiqin are only half-siblings, Long Yixin is not her mother, so she is even more undisciplined. Every time as long as she didn't make a big mistake, Yan Kangluo just scolded her, and she had already had a cocoon in her ears, and she was like a stream.
About midnight, Pei Yao was about to turn off the lights and go to bed, but someone came up and knocked on the door.
"Who?" She asked warily.
"It's me!"
Pei Yao breathed a sigh of relief, after all, she was now in Xiaojiabao, where dragons and snakes were mixed, and even lived under the same roof with the so-called undignified people in the rivers and lakes, she was like a gall with legs, she had to be cautious, otherwise she might break at any time.
Pei Yao opened the door, and Shen Xiao looked for Yushu to stand at the door.
"Childe, it's so late, do you have anything to do with Lin'er?" Shen Xiaoxun reminded her that as soon as she entered Xiaojiabao, she was not allowed to call him "Brother Shen" again, and everyone was the same.
"It's nothing, you clean up and come to my room to sleep!" With that, he turned back neatly.
Pei Yao: "......"
This is casual as if it is a daily greeting, is he like this to all the girls, Pei Yao leaned back against the door, but her heart was a little cold.
Soon, she carried her quilt pillow into Shen Xiaoxun's room.
Shen Xiaoxun had already used the extra quilt in the wardrobe to lay a quilt next to the bed for her at this moment, and after seeing Pei Yao come in, he hugged the quilt pillow and rested it on the quilt on the floor in a regular manner.
"Childe ......" Pei Yao didn't understand, she thought she was going to sleep with Shen Xiaoxun......
"The friends who live in this courtyard don't talk much about the morality of the rivers and lakes, for your safety, it's better for us to sleep in the same room," Shen Xiaoxun explained as he walked past her and closed the door.
"Oh!" Pei Yao responded as a matter of course, and slowly walked to her "bed".
Just as she was about to sit down, Shen Xiaoxun lifted her arm and said, "You sleep on the bed, I'll sleep here!" β
Pei Yao instantly felt flattered and swallowed: "This ...... No...... Big, okay? I...... I'm nowβyoursβhandmaiden! β
"It's nothing, outsiders don't know anyway!" Shen Xiaoxun sat down and occupied the land one step faster than her, "If there is any movement outside, I will go to bed again!" β
"W-okay!" Pei Yao pursed her lips in response, her face burning with shame.
In the middle of the night, Pei Yao suddenly woke up and turned over. She turned sideways to carefully look at Shen Xiaoxun, who was wearing Zhou Langhe's human skin mask, and seemed to feel that she could see his own edges and corners through the mask.
Through the clear light of the moon scattered in the room, Pei Yao stretched out a finger to follow Shen Xiaoxun's appearance, and the void drew on his face: eyebrows, eyes, nose......
"The time has passed, can't you sleep?" Shen Xiaoxun closed his eyes and suddenly spoke.
Pei Yao hurriedly withdrew her restless fingers and changed to a flat lying position: "Childe, your sleep is so shallow, hehe!" β
"Get used to it!"
ββ¦β¦β
There are still three days left before the martial arts conference, and Shen Xiaoxun has been practicing the meniscus knife technique of the Lishan School in the courtyard. No matter what martial arts he uses to win at that time, as a member of the Lishan faction, he must at least use the martial arts of the Lishan faction.
It was also during these three days that Pei Yao became familiar with the evil demons in the courtyard.
Living in the west wing are the people of the Mantuo Sect, a group of six of them, who are good at whipping and flower poison, and the leader is the holy Maiden Xiuyan of the Mantuo Sect. Living in the east wing is the person who painted the fairy gate and Ding Ruoshuang, there are a total of three people in the painting fairy gate, each of them looks like a fairy, and it is so beautiful that it is incomprehensible. They are the senior sister Pianran, the second senior sister Yichen, and the third senior sister Luoxiang, the usual weapon is the pipa, and the unique martial arts is the "life-killing soul sound". The one who lives in the south wing is the disciple of the Starfire Sect, led by the closed disciple of Hua Ziyan, who is also the senior brother of the Starfire Sect, Shi Feng. Although the Spark Sect is accustomed to using swords, it also involves poison and formations, among which the Ecstasy Array created by the former head Xie Qingyun is even more terrifying to the people in the rivers and lakes.
The martial arts conference is really a big flag, and it can actually gather the four evil demons on the rivers and lakes, as well as the lone traveler Ding Ruoshuang, who is not a sect person.
Compared with the kung fu and methods of other evil demons, Pei Yao felt that the Lishan faction was particularly out of place, and there was only a set of self-created "sword and edge" sword techniques, but it was actually able to be juxtaposed with the other three factions, no wonder the other three factions looked down on him, and even the evil demons looked down on themselves, not to mention the so-called famous and decent families, and it was really not easy for the Lishan faction to survive in the cracks over the years. Even so, Pei Yao thought that they were no different from the bandits who occupied the mountains as kings, which was why Zhou Langhe, the candidate for the head of the Lishan faction, wanted to take advantage of this martial arts conference to win the position of the leader of the martial arts alliance to prove himself to the various factions in the rivers and lakes!
Pei Yao suddenly thought of a sentence that could summarize Zhou Langhe's mentality: You ignored me at the beginning, but now I let you can't climb high, go out and turn left to line up!
