Chapter 55: Heartbeat
Jinhu County is located fifty miles away from the south side of Hongshan Lake, after looting in Hongshan Shui Village, it has become the only stable place in this area, the county town organized the militia to patrol day and night, although the city is full of homeless people with their families, there are still some songs and dances in the inn and wine shop.
The rivers and lakes are always the fastest place to deliver news, it may be that the water bandits who escaped from the Hongshan Cottage saw the process on the road, the sky was not yet bright, and the whole city was already boiling, and all the Jianghu guests were talking about a thunderous news:
'On the night of October 23, the unknown knight single-handedly destroyed Hongshan Lake and Xue Chengzhi, and returned victorious! ”
This news came out of the mouth of the water bandits, and most people in the rivers and lakes still didn't believe it - it was possible to single-handedly stir up Hongshan Lake, and it was also possible to win the Jiangnan leader Xue Chengzhi alone, but it was a bit nonsense to destroy Hongshan Lake first and then Xue Chengzhi, which is not something that people can do at all.
But just as Xiao Xiang'er said back then, 'The territory of Dayue is thousands of miles, and there should be heroes', it is too normal for such a big river and lake to emerge a few proud sons of heaven who are difficult to fathom with common sense.
As Xue Chengzhi also arrived in Jinhu County in the early hours of the morning, he was treated for his injuries under the hospitality of local friends in the rivers and lakes, and the news was officially confirmed.
Xue Chengzhi has been crisscrossing the rivers and lakes all his life, knowing that sooner or later he will be beaten down by young people, although this day came a little suddenly, but the news of the rivers and lakes could not be concealed at all, and he generously admitted that he had taken advantage of his physical strength tonight, and he had not won the fact that he had not won the prince of Su.
Xue Chengzhi personally admitted that his skills were not as good as others, which meant that the only martial artist in Jiangnan had given way, and the title of 'Iron Spear Twin Heroes' had changed from Chen Chong and Xue Chengzhi to Chen Chong and Xu Buling, and Da Yue Qingkui was also officially promoted to the top ten martial arts at this moment.
Wu Kui, who is less than twenty years old, dare not say that there is no one who will come after him, but he must be unprecedented, and how amazing it is is self-evident.
As for why Xue Chengzhi fought with King Su's son, Xue Chengzhi definitely didn't want to tell King Wu's arrangement, but he just explained that he happened to meet him when he passed by, and his words contradicted King Su's son.
In this way, it can be regarded as sending the Buddha to the west, and lowering his posture to Xu Buling to make a name. Although Xue Chengzhi has King Wu's words as a reassurance, he is the prince of King Su tonight, and he cleanly gave up the position of Wu Kui, and by the way, creating the image of Xu Buling Wei Guangzheng is also equivalent to apologizing, so as not to make trouble afterwards.
After the news was confirmed, it caused an uproar in Jinhu County in an instant, and spread outward at an alarming speed, and I am afraid that it will soon spread all over the world.
The reason for the appearance of Hongshan Lake is a matter of opinion.
Some say that the prince of Su is concerned about the people, and he saw that the water bandits took action to eliminate violence and peace in the countryside; Some people also say that the contemporary Bakui Zhongli Chuchu was embarrassed by the Hongshan Water Village, and the prince of Su took a heroic shot to save the beauty; There is also any 'Su Wang Shizi who fell in love with Bakui's master and apprentice, and wanted to be put into the room to sleep together', there is all kinds of gossip in a mess.
Xu Buling rode a wind-chasing horse, and when he arrived in Jinhu County a little later, there was already a lot of buzz and emotion in the wine shop and teahouse. He was injured and didn't want to make an accident at such a time, and he didn't mean to explain the messy rumors, anyway, they were not far off......
Zhong Li Jiujiu was a little annoyed when he heard this, because the rumors in the rivers and lakes only had the names of Xu Buling and Chu Chu, and she was not brought in, the initiator, and the only thing that touched the side was 'sleeping together', how could Zhong Li Jiujiu endure it, and wanted to go to the inn where the three sects and nine streams converged to make it clear, which was naturally stopped.
The little nightingale served as the archer today to Xu Buling to solve the archers of the water village, in fact, he had a lot of credit, otherwise Xu Buling would never dare to rampage as a target when the other party had an archer, but it was a pity that the people in the rivers and lakes could not see the nightingale hidden in the shadows, so naturally there was no her name.
The nightingale doesn't care about this, she's a maid, and when the son is famous, she will naturally become famous, and she doesn't care about this loss.
The four of them arrived at the inn where the white camels were kept, and after a long journey in the middle of the night, the pain and weariness of their bodies swept over their bodies and minds, and when they arrived in the house, they lay down on their heads, while the nightingale ran to borrow some food from the kitchen to replenish their strength.
It was very cold in the early hours of winter, and the rooms in the inn had no heating facilities, except for the beds, tables and chairs.
Zhongli Jiujiu closed the window and stood in front of the bed with one hand on his waist, a little tired after a long day's work, but the work was not finished yet, and he couldn't rest like this after getting paid.
"Chu Chu, you go get some hot water."
Zhongli Chuchu nodded lightly and walked out of the room with a wooden basin.
Zhongli Jiujiu leaned over beside the bed, took off his boots, and straightened Xu Buling, who was on his back.
Xu Buling was very tired and didn't fall asleep, but he didn't want to move anymore, but he breathed a sigh of relief:
"Thanks."
"Thank you for what, take people's money and eliminate disasters for others, sister, I have never been a fool of children......"
Zhongli Jiujiu sat down on the edge of the bed, dragged the round stool over, took out a few small medicine bottles with the sound, and dispensed the medicine seriously.
The bed and the round stool were at the same height, and Zhongli Jiujiu had to lean over when he sat on the edge of the bed and tossed the objects on the stool. Zhongli Jiujiu dared to compete with Ning Yu for height, his figure was very excessive, his hips were wide and shoulder-wide, this posture collapsed the skirt tightly, drawing an arc like a full moon, quite large-scale and full of tension, like a ripe peach......
True Circle......
Xu Buling looked outward, and after seeing Zhong Lijiu's unguarded back, he was a little embarrassed in his heart, turned his gaze and looked upward, and said with a smile:
"Miss Jiujiu, huh...... In fact, she is a very virtuous woman, not as ...... as rumored So quirky. ”
Zhongli Jiujiu poured several medicinal powders from the small porcelain bottle together, stirred them with the water in the teacup, and responded that he was not energetic:
"You Central Plains people all require women to be virtuous and courteous, and even the women on the rivers and lakes have to make a spotless white lotus appearance. Whoever does not follow your rules is called a wicked woman and a slut......
…… I grew up in a village in South Vietnam, where many of the villages were headed by women, and I was more gentle. When I was a child, I didn't like the hard life in the village, and I heard that the Central Plains was full of gold and the same place where the gods lived, so I left Nanyue and ran here. At first, I also wanted to be like women like Ning Yuhe and your mother, and be admired and favored wherever I went......
…… As a result, half of the people who approached me were coveted for my beauty, and half because I was a South Vietnamese and did not speak and act in a proper manner, so they regarded me as a 'barbarian'. I originally wanted to go to places like Emei and Wudang to learn art, and that Qingxu real person, who I met at that time, said that he would not accept me if he was dead or alive, and he drove me out, and finally forgot it......
…… People, aren't they all for a breath of life, you Central Plains people look down on me, I fight for it myself, what's wrong? I use poison to protect myself, and no matter how few people I can sav, there are more people than Ning Yuhe, a white lotus who can't do anything, right? Why are you all looking at her and being so unfair to me: it's still decent, I'm sorry! It's a bunch of hypocrites who look down on other people's backgrounds......"
Zhongli Jiujiu was obviously a little annoyed when he mentioned the old past, and he was not convinced when he said it.
Xu Buling listened quietly, shook his head and smiled. Zhongli Jiujiu is a little skinny, and he is indeed incompatible with this woman in the world, but it is inappropriate to say that he is discriminated against by the Central Plains. People in the rivers and lakes all talk about seniority and rules, and the grassroots who do not have the background of the master family are not able to suppress the heroes and speak with their fists, and it is too normal not to be taken seriously, and the rivers and lakes are not good halls. Ning Yuhe is the one who almost became the queen, and the people in the rivers and lakes will more or less give face, if they have to compare, they will definitely feel that they have been mistreated.
But these words, it doesn't make sense to say them, Zhong Lijiujiu's personality is like this, and he hasn't done anything hurtful, so he can't force her to 'change her ways'.
Zhongli Jiujiu said for a long time, and when he saw that Xu Buling did not respond, he snorted lightly:
"You are also from the Central Plains, and like them, you don't look down on me in your heart. I am willing to worship Ning Yu as a teacher, but I refuse to worship me as a teacher when I die, don't I just think that I am a poisonous girl in South Vietnam, and I am not worthy of you, the prince of the domain, and I am only worthy of doing chores under my hands......"
Xu Buling spread his hand slightly: "Miss Jiujiu, your words are too hurtful, how can I look down on your background......"
"A man's mouth can't be trusted, anyway, I only look at the facts, when do you honestly worship me as a teacher, I will believe you......"
Zhongli Jiujiu took the adjusted medicine, turned around and sat beside Xu Buling, and picked his chin:
"Lie down, it hurts a little."
Xu Buling lay down honestly, revealing a few bruises on his chest.
Zhongli Jiujiu dipped cotton in the potion, gently wiped the black blue on Xu Buling's chest muscles, and the hair fell down and swept on the skin on his chest, leaving only two faint breaths in the room.
The indifferent fragrance lingered around his body, Xu Buling glanced at the delicate face that was close at hand, looked away again, and then swept his eyes again.
Zhongli Jiujiu carefully wiped the wound, his fingers felt Xu Buling's heartbeat a little faster, and he raised his eyelashes slightly and aimed at them.
The four eyes briefly met, and then quickly staggered.
Zhongli Jiujiu's movements on his hands stopped, looked down at himself, and then showed a faint disdain in his eyes:
"Cut ~ just this concentration, return Wu Kui ......"
As he spoke, he stood up and threw the cotton in his hand to Xu Buling: "You wipe it yourself." ”
Xu Buling's expression was calm: "Miss Jiujiu, I have paid the silver." ”
“……”
Zhongli Jiujiu is not a little girl who has not been deeply involved in the world, so she immediately rolled up her sleeves and wiped Xu Buling a few times.
Fortunately, Zhongli Chuchu walked into the room with a wooden basin at this time, Zhongli Jiujiu didn't bother to bother with Xu Buling when he saw this, and turned around and walked outside the room:
"I'm tired, go back to the room to rest first, Chu Chu, you give him good medicine, and rest early."
"Oh......"
Zhongli Chuchu took the wooden basin, closed the door with his feet, and came to the bed to put down the hot water......
