Sikong Xi packed up his little packing and stared blankly at the somewhat broken gap in the roof, on which were a few hibernating straw shoe insects, which had nowhere to hide because of the damage to the nest, and they were huddled in that small nest, and they would soon freeze to death.

"Those straw shoe worms are dying, why don't they leave here and go somewhere warmer?" Sikong Xi pointed to the roof.

"But where will there be a warm nest? Once their nests are broken, they have to wait to die. Gu Key's voice was quiet, and he was still packing up his things.

"Why don't you try to resist?" Sikong Xi is still not giving up.

"They're just bugs, they've already done their best to live, so what right do they have to pray for resistance?"

Sikong Xi didn't say anything more, still looking up at them.

"You've got something on your mind." Gu Jian glanced at Sikong Xi.

"It's not a matter of concern," Sikong Xi shook his head, "When we went to see the governor before, I saw Lu Rou'er sitting in the second seat crying, maybe no one else saw it. ”

"Crying?" Gu Key's eyebrows raised, "Why do you care about this?" Maybe it's because the young lady wakes up early and is sleepy? ”

"I don't think so," Sikong Xi whispered, "she looks very low." ”

"Can you see that? Look at you like this, are you in love with Miss? Gu Key was stunned.

"I just think that even the pampered eldest lady can be sad because of something, so where should we go from here?" Sikong Xi sighed deeply.

"Where do you go from here? Think about what these things do! Gu Jian slapped Sikong Xi's head and hatefully, "In the past, it was a problem for you to even eat enough, but now Lao Tzu's Yuefeng has asked you to buy food, are you still not satisfied?" ”

"No, senior brother, you don't understand what I mean." Sikong Xi sneered.

"Yo? I don't understand? That's nice...... In the future, you are not allowed to touch my moon at all! Gu Jian looked at Sikong Xi with a smile, and suddenly became ruthless.

"No...... Brother, do you know? In the old days, I always wanted to go to the street and beg for an extra meal so that I could survive another day. I was hungry, but I was able to live. Sikong Xi didn't notice the sound of the ancient key, his eyes touched the straw shoe insects that were blown by the cold wind, their tiny legs trembled with the cold wind, but slowly they stopped moving, never moving again.

"Under War...... Civilians are the ...... who suffer the most," Gu Key muttered.

"But then more and more older kids found out that I was begging for more food than they did, and they would come and take my food. At first, only one person came to beat me and steal my food, but slowly I realized that he couldn't beat me anymore. Because he was so hungry, he was idle and liked to gamble on gadgets, which eventually led to him having nothing left. So much so that in the end, he starved to death. At that time, I was glad that he was starving to death, and no one was taking my food anymore. ”

"Then there were more people who snatched my food, and they learned to go out of their nests, and a few people held me down, and a few people took all the food, punched and kicked me, and said angrily that there was too little food. I cried and begged them to give me back the food, but everyone had to live, and without food they would starve and die. That's when I learned to resist the brutes, and then I became a thief on my own reflexes. When I gradually became more comfortable, I no longer had to worry about food, and those idle big children were often found out by me early, and then I would hide and avoid their oppression again and again. And so on, I survived in the end. ”

"Did the big kids who bullied you starve to death in the end?" Gu Jian looked at Sikong Xi and noticed his strangeness.

"They also died," Sikong Xi replied, "but not by starvation." ”

"How did you die?" The Ancient Key asked.

"I stoned them one by one in my sleep." Sikong Xi's voice was cold.

Gu Key was stunned suddenly, and gasped, and the voice that hung in the air finally failed to speak.

At this time, someone suddenly shouted outside the door, and the ancient key was dumbfounded, but he couldn't hear who it was. He slowly moved to the door, pulled the bolt down, and saw a familiar person through the crack in the door.

That small figure is Shuwan standing in front of the door.

"Shuwan, why are you here?" Gu Key hurriedly opened the door and let the little maid in.

"Brother Gu Key, you ...... You're going to Liesun City soon, right? Shuwan's eyes were timid, but she insisted on not retreating, "I'll send you something." ”

Gu Key was stunned for a moment, "Something? Little girl, you still can't eat enough, what do you care? ”

"This ...... You don't have to worry about this! Shuwan blushed and took out a bag of things behind him, and handed the ancient key with both hands, "Here you go!" If you don't like it, you can throw it away! ”

"It's!" Gu Key took the bag of things, sniffed it carefully, was stunned for a moment, and squeezed out a slightly ugly smile, "It's still quite fragrant......

"That'...... Yes, I bought it for you at the Wing On Street shop. I originally wanted to bring it to you yesterday, but when I heard that you had been punished by the governor, I thought to myself that I should not disturb your rest. As a result, the news suddenly came today that you were going to Liesun City, so I sneaked over into the air...... Hehe......" The little girl looked at the ancient key with a smile, as if she was glad that she had caught something.

"You little girl is really getting bolder!" Gu Key couldn't help laughing, stepped forward and smoothed the ends of the little girl's hair, and in the air, he faintly smelled the fragrance of white hyacinths.

"I don't know when I'll be back...... What if you forget your favorite food? The book was like a mosquito, smiling shyly.

Gu Key remained silent, looking at the little girl's smile unchanged, and gradually forgot about Shuwan's secret revelation the day before yesterday. But Shuwan seemed to realize that her words were too ambiguous, and her little face suddenly turned red, she lowered her head suddenly, broke away from Gu Key's big hand, and her two slender and smooth calves jumped out.

"I should go to work, or the manager will scold me again!"

Gu Key's eyes touched the direction where the little girl left, and gradually moved away, "If anyone dares to bully you again, don't forget to tell me!" ”

"Got it!"

Gu Key's eyes were bouncing around the book, as if there was a hidden disease. Although he seemed so agile and lively, but his heart was always so uncomfortable, he turned around and put the bag on the table, and did not speak for a long time.

"Senior brother." Sikong Xi looked at him with a strange expression.

"How?"

"No matter how stupid you are, you can see what kind of feelings that girl has for you."

"But I regard her as a righteous sister," Gu Key said slowly, "not to mention ......"

Sikong Xi's gaze touched the bag of things on the table, ignoring the unfinished words of the ancient key. He knew that there were unspeakable things in the heart of the Ancient Key, but he had no interest in learning about them. A person who advises others and acts as a senior will eventually hesitate to make decisions about his own affairs.

"Senior brother, what is that?"

Gu Jian looked in the direction of Sikong Xi, "There is a kind of fruit in the martial arts, called red bell fruit. It is made from the fruit of the red bell tree of the military service. It usually takes up to five years for such trees to bear fruit. This fruit can be air-dried to make a honey cake, which is called red honey. I used to like this kind of pastry very much, and I often used the monthly gift to buy it to eat and chat to satisfy my cravings, maybe Shuwan this girl already knew. This red honey is not a cheap product, probably this girl has spent almost all her savings in order to buy this......"

"Would you like to give me a try?" Sikong Xi took a sip of saliva.

"Don't worry, I'll give you something to eat!" Gu Jian smiled and carried his bags, but his expression suddenly became strange.

"Sikong Xi, why did you stone those big kids to death?"

Sikong Xi was stunned for a moment, "They want to kill me, and I killed them first." I can't die...... I don't want to die either. ”

"Even if I'm starving, I want to live......"

It was getting darker, and outside the back door of the Lu Mansion were two carriages with a rather large shape and a dark cloth covering the cover. Yi Yu stood in front of the door and Lu Biao was still talking about something. No one will come to see them off, this matter is done in secret, and the fewer people who know about it, the better.

The Ancient Key was also looking for something, but it seemed that the person he was looking for didn't come. But that's right, how can a little girl be there?

"Senior brother, the three of them will go with us, will there really be no problems?" Sikong Xi quietly looked at Cheng Bi and the three people standing in front of the second carriage.

"Who they are, I think you and I know very well!" Gu Key's eyes also glanced at the three people from time to time.

"I don't understand why the Governor would agree to them coming with him, it's tantamount to luring a wolf into the house!" Sikong Xi gritted his teeth and hated, "They almost killed us!" ”

Gu Jian stretched out his hand and pressed Sikong Xi down, signaling him to be quiet, "I know, but Du Du didn't believe that a few teenagers could make such a ruthless action, Du Du was careless...... Thinking that they are still children, they will only make small fights! ”

"So what are we going to do?" Sikong Xi said uneasily.

"Keep an eye on them," Gu Key whispered, walking towards the first carriage, "Director Yi has had a great relationship with me in the past, and he will help us." If they really want to do anything at that time, then the director will never let them go! ”

Sikong Xi didn't say anything more, and followed the ancient key to the carriage.

"Yi Yu, you are the director of the Yu Division, you should understand your responsibilities." Lu Yu's hand was on Yi Yu's shoulder, his eyebrows were full of worry, and he held a long sword in his other hand.

"Governor ......" Yi Yu was a little stunned.

"When war comes again, everything will be different, it is useless to pray for salvation, God will only fool the weak, and will not have mercy on them." Lu Biao paused word by word, and handed him the quaint long sword, "Including me." ”

Yi Yu caught the ancient sword and gently stroked the lines on it.

Carved with the scabbard of Fan Long, it is made of the finest shark skin. Extremely thin gold filaments are wound around the sheath, which glows with a faint glimmer through the sunlight. With a slight force, the barbs on the scabbard were retracted. The extremely sharp and wide-ridged ancient sword is unsheathed, and the sword body is white and shiny, which makes people marvel at its workmanship. Between the blades was Fan Long, who looked hideous, and a chilling killing intent bloomed from between the blades, as if it was close to his heart. No one knows how many souls this ancient sword has killed.

On this ancient sword, which is more than three feet and six inches, it seems to be an inscription of the ancient country. All kinds of characteristics point this sword directly to a famous sword that has been left behind, Yinyuan. The two-edged sword of the unitary arrow, which is also known as the two-edged sword of the smelter, is made of extraterrestrial meteorite iron and the peerless method of forging the sword. This evil sword, which has been inherited for a long time, has been held by those who have held it for generations, because they could not resist its evil spirit, and hanged themselves to death.

It is a product of the previous dynasty of the Great Wei Dynasty, and it is the sword worn by the emperor who cut down the disobedient. But the faint emperor of Youya gave it to Lu Biao as a reward.

"The edge of Yinyuan is the most tenacious in the world. But the first emperor of Youya lied that this thing was cast by the national teacher and established as the treasure of the town. But the first emperor is dead, and the prince is mediocre, so this so-called treasure is just scrap iron. He indulged in lustful dogs and horses, and in the end he simply gave me this sword as a reward to stabilize the army's heart. But this evil sword, which has existed since the previous dynasty, is not afraid of the so-called time. Lu Biao said quietly, "Yi Yu, from the moment you stepped into the Lu Mansion, I firmly believed that you could control it, so I handed it over to you and killed anyone who stood in its way!" ”

Yi Yu was stunned, and suddenly cried like a child, and the tears that broke the embankment could no longer be stopped.

"Governor, please wait for good news!" Yi Yu solemnly knelt in front of Lu Biao.

There were no words, just mutual trust between the two, and Lu Biao stepped forward to help him up, with hope in his eyes.

Yi Yu took one last look at Lu Biao, quickly jumped into the carriage, and whipped the whip a horse in the middle. The four horses roared with each other, and the huge hooves drove the carriage forward. The coachman behind him also twitched his horsewhip and followed behind Yi Yu's carriage.

Yi Yu wiped away his tears, and caught a glimpse of the deputy director of the Yu Division and the governor standing on the side, holding a letter raft in their hands.

The letter to the Imperial City is to go to the Southern Imperial City to ask for the king's reinforcements?

The road was far away, Sikong Xi seemed to suddenly remember something, and opened the car window. But under the extreme eye, I didn't see anything.

On December 7, the 31st year of Emperor Mourning, the imminent war has made the forces of the Quartet ready to move. Guangcai Benqi, which is entrenched in the northern Heyu District, has already polished his saber and is eager to try. On this day, Sikong Xi left the military service for the first time in the real sense of the word and went to Liesun City to the south. All of this seemed too early for him, a teenager who was about to turn sixteen.

But the times are looming.
