Chapter 36: A Moment of Life and Death
"Childe, what's the matter?"
The little guy responded respectfully.
"Where is this Uto Restaurant in Ping'an City?"
Hu Xiu shook off his half-dried hair, and when he just took a medicated bath, his long hair naturally inevitably got wet.
"Uto Restaurant?"
The little guy looked at Hu Xiu in surprise.
"What's wrong?"
"This Uto Restaurant is a restaurant specially opened for the poor and the down-and-out people. Many things inside are much cheaper than those outside, but the reason for the cheapness is unknown. ”
"It's okay, take me to see it, I won't go in, just take a look and come back."
Of course, he will come back after a glance, doesn't he have to know the way.
"Okay, young master."
Out of Hu Wang's Mansion, Hu Xiu seemed to have a feeling in his heart, turned his head suddenly, and saw Bai Sha and Hei Kill secretly following the two of them.
"Your Excellency."
The two of them walked over slowly, but the little guy was still a little scared, and his body moved a little closer to Hu Xiu's side.
"What are you?"
The two brothers and sisters are not stupid, they can't and don't dare to do anything to him in Heian City.
"Keep adults safe."
"I went to Wangsheng Restaurant in the morning, and you also went with me secretly?"
When Hu Xiu was in the morning, he always felt that someone was following him, and he thought it was Ying Jiu. But I didn't expect it to be this pair of brothers and sisters, then again, what about the shadow nine? I won't see her for a while.
"Yes, sir."
Bai Xu responded respectfully, and he really felt a little subordinate. Hu Xiu patted the little guy on the shoulder and motioned for him to continue leading the way.
Out of Hu Wang's Mansion, along the main road to the path, in the alley turned left and right, a dilapidated tavern, two stories high, not far away.
Hu Xiu stood in front of the door, looking inside, it was gloomy, although the door was wide open, there was no one inside.
"Let's go, go back, go back to the house."
Say hello, turn around and leave.
"My lord, what are you doing here at Uto Restaurant?"
"If you are bored at home, you will go out for a walk."
Hu Xiu didn't want to tell the truth.
"In this restaurant, Zhou Shen and I met here once."
Bai Sha looked at the restaurant and thought about it.
"Oh?"
Is the person who wrote this letter to him involved with Zhou Shen? In that case, you have to be careful, and when you go at night, you have to bring a weapon.
Late at night, Hu Xiu and his clothes slept in bed, tossing and turning and unable to sleep. After boiling deep, looking at the moonlight outside, I felt that the time was almost up, so I got out of bed, put on my shoes, and held the Qingluan in my hand tighter.
"Click~"
Carefully pushed open the wooden door, but the wooden door still made a noise, and it was dark. Like a thief, he did not go to the gate of the courtyard, but walked to the edge of the courtyard wall and jumped over.
Feeling the darkness, he took out a fire fold from his bosom, shook it, and walked a few steps forward, but saw a man walking towards him.
"Who!?"
A coquettish sound, Hu Xiu was startled, but when he listened carefully, it was a little like the voice of a small servant.
"Shh~ You keep quiet, don't let others hear."
Hu Xiu held the fire fold in his right hand, and hurriedly blocked his mouth with his left hand.
"Are you a young master? Where are you going? ”
The little guy stared at the neatly dressed Hu Xiu in front of him, it was late at night. Although there are still a few days before the day of the fast, who has nothing to go out at this point?
"I'm going to ...... You ask me where to go, so where do you want to go when you're wearing so thick? ”
Halfway through this answer, Hu Xiu suddenly thought, why did he reply to his question? I'm his young master.
"I went to the toilet..."
The little guy responded shyly.
"Going to the toilet? Oh, Childe, I still have some things, so I'll go first. ”
Hu Xiu raised the fire fold in his hand and wanted to leave.
"Young Master, I want to follow you..."
The little guy tugged at Hu Xiu's sleeve and didn't let go, and he didn't know where he got the guts.
"Do you know where I'm going? Just follow me? ”
"Go to Uto Restaurant, is it the person who wrote the letter and asked the young master to go?"
"Yo? Little Fanzi, are you smart? ”
This kid is not stupid, he actually guessed that it was because of the letter.
"Young Master......"
The little girl's face turned red, and he didn't know if it was because he was shy, or because the fire fold in his hand shone on his face, so he looked red.
"Forget it, come along, let's go together."
Hu Xiu's mouth finally loosened.
I felt the darkness to the wall of the palace, the wall was not high, about two or three meters. Hu Xiu carried the little girl, jumped lightly, and went out.
He just doesn't want to go through the main entrance, how exciting it is to go out over the wall! The thought of this makes my heart beat a little faster.
I went around to the small alley again, which was not far from King Hu's mansion, just a few kilometers away.
Before Hu Xiu could reach Uto Restaurant, he stopped. He saw someone he didn't expect, someone he had sent to prison with his own hands!
"Hu Xiu, I said that we will meet again soon."
"Aren't you supposed to be in prison right now?"
Hu Xiu asked calmly, but the small movements in his hands were constant, and he secretly poked the little guy walking in front.
"How can there be another person here?"
The woman pointed to the little girl.
"However, it doesn't matter, killing more people and killing less people, for me, there is no difference."
She slowly withdrew her fingers.
"You're so sure you're going to kill us?"
Hu Xiu is not a person who will be arrested when he encounters danger.
"Huh?"
A slightly questioning snort, followed by a powerful qi rushing to his face, Hu Xiu felt as if there was a huge force in his body, he couldn't breathe, he couldn't use his strength, as if he had collapsed.
The little guy on the side was even more pressed to the ground, unable to move.
"A seventh-order martial artist can release his internal qi externally, and in a thousand armies, he can also take the head of a person and kill a fifth-order, isn't it easy?"
Hu Xiu propped up his body and wanted to speak, but he couldn't make a sound, and the panic spread in his heart.
The woman walked step by step, and in the silent alley, there was only the sound of her footsteps, and the rapid gasps of the master and servant.
The woman stopped in front of the servant, grabbed him by the hem of his shirt, and lifted him up with one hand.
The little girl's limbs were weak and vertically downward, and she couldn't lift up a trace of strength, so she could only be at her mercy.
"Do you wear a ...... around your neck?"
The red thread under the placket of the little girl's shirt was revealed, and something seemed to be hanging around his neck.
"The mother jade of Jin Luan Yu Pei?"
The woman pulled the red thread from his neck, and a golden-red jade pendant was torn off.
Her eyes changed, as if she had seen something incredible.
"Wu Rujin?"
Hearing this name, Xiao Xiao's body trembled slightly, as if he remembered something bad.
"The remnant princess of the previous dynasty, the treasures she stole can be described as heart-wrenching."
The woman let go of her hand violently, and the little girl fell to the ground, and the internal qi outside her body slowly retracted.
The pressure on Hu Xiu and Xiaowu was gone.
"Give me back the jade pendant!"
The little servant didn't know where he got the courage, but he stood up, straightened his waist that he had been bent over, and yelled at the woman.
"You don't deserve it."
The woman said coldly.
"How is it not what I deserve? My mother was killed by you, and my brother died because of you. This jade pendant was a gift from my mother to me on my fifth birthday, and it was also my last gift..."
The little guy slowly realized that it was useless for him to roar like this, and the woman in front of him was like a stone, and her tone slowly softened.
"I... I won't think about revenge, I beg you, give me back the jade pendant. ”
The little girl cried and cried, and her legs fell to the ground, and she kept pleading.
"Stand up!"
Hu Xiu stepped forward and dragged the little guy up, she probably heard it, the person in front of him should be his enemy, kneeling against his enemy, and saying that he would not take revenge, how cowardly is this?
"Less... Young Master~"
Looking at Hu Xiu with a fierce face, the little guy's expression became more and more submissive.
"Can you speak as hard as you just did?"
Hu Xiu hated the taste of iron not becoming steel.
"What a pair of master and servant!"
The woman slapped her hands, then stepped forward, grabbed the hem of the servant's coat, and lifted him up.
Hu Xiu took out Qingluan and slashed at the woman.
"Ding~"
Qingluan, who was supposed to slash at her chest, was caught between their fingers.
"It's a good sword, but it's a pity that the person who uses it is too weak!"
With two fingers, he gently twisted the sword blade, and pulled it back, and the sword was snatched away.
"Qingluan? Well...... One of the top ten famous swords in the Shenzhou Continent, but from now on, it will be mine. ”
In front of Hu Xiu, the woman looked greedy, and directly put away Qingluan.
Hu Xiu was stunned in place, a little confused, he didn't know what to do for a while, he definitely couldn't run, and he wouldn't leave the little guy behind.
As for shouting people, there is not even a ghost shadow in this small alley, it is extremely depressed, even if there are people, he does not dare to shout, he is afraid that as soon as he makes a sound, he will be cut down by the person in front of him.
"Click~"
"Click~"
The woman pinched off one of the little guy's legs and one arm in front of Hu Xiu, and the little guy fell to the ground, screaming and wailing constantly.
Hu Xiu clenched his fists, he knew that the more times like this, the more he couldn't panic. Nervousness, anger, helplessness, and the fear of death rushed to my heart.
"The remnants of the previous dynasty, I won't kill you now, but you don't ...... Huxiu"
The woman looked at Hu Xiu's face, which was whiter and more handsome than the woman in the moonlight.
"It's a pity, your face."
The woman stroked his face, causing goosebumps to fall to the ground.
"I'm really reluctant to kill you."
Others can't put it down and play with Hu Xiu's face.
"But there's no way, if you don't die, it's hard to understand the cruelty in my heart."
The strength of her hand suddenly increased, and his face hurt when she pinched it.
"Wait."
"What? You ask for mercy? ”
"No, I mean to say that you like my face so much. I don't mind doing anything with you before I die. ”
Hu Xiu endured his nausea and said those words, but in order to survive, he could only say that.
"Do what?"
The woman licked her lips seusefully.
"Okay, then I'll meet your request."
She ripped open Hu Xiu's shirt, ran it down his chest, and slowly touched it down.
"You're in good shape~"
The woman was teasing while touching, and her body slowly approached Hu Xiu.
Hu Xiu endured his discomfort, and controlled the strength gained from the training in his body to his left hand. He endured all this humiliation and burden, all for the sake of sneak attacks, relying on the powerful destructiveness of the strength in his body, only by killing her could he survive.
As the woman continued to get deeper and closer, Hu Xiu's left arm naturally leaned on her shoulder, but there was still some distance from his heart.
Hu Xiu didn't dare to make a move, it was still too far, he was afraid that the woman in front of him would react, and then he would be finished.
It's close, it's close! This woman seemed to have made Hu Xiu a fat sheep on a certain scale, and she didn't take the slightest defense against him.
Just in the palm of his left hand, just inches from his left atrium, it was pressed against her chest.
"Poof~"
The woman spurted out a mouthful of pus and blood, hit Hu Xiu's clothes, her footsteps were shaky, and she retreated a few steps, even if she was shattered, she didn't die immediately!
Hu Xiu turned around in horror and wanted to escape!
As soon as he took a few steps, he heard an angry roar from behind:
"Hu Xiu'er!"
Then, the back seemed to have been hit hard, Hu Xiu stumbled, his internal organs seemed to be displaced, his mouth was sweet, and then he lost consciousness and fainted.
~~
In the dilapidated alley, a man and a woman came to the ground one after the other, and some blood was scattered on the ground.
Gradually, he opened his eyes, and he tried to stand up, but he was horrified to find that one of his legs and all the arms had lost sensation.
I tried to stand up on one leg, but I couldn't get up.
Turning his head, he saw not far away, as if two "corpses" were lying there quietly. He didn't care about his injured leg and foot, and crawled over with a crawl.
When he climbed to the side of the corpse, he saw two men lying on the ground, one his master and the other his enemy.
