Xu Ji didn't carry water for a few days, and his physical strength was a little weak, so he insisted on walking to the ridge, put down two buckets of water, and rested for a while, and after a while, he saw Zhang Shiqing coming from the foot of the mountain.

Far away, Zhang Shiqing stopped, raised his head and said loudly: "Your idea is useless!" ”

"Lord Huanyan refused?" Xu Ji also said loudly.

"She didn't even listen carefully, she laughed at the idea of being different, and said that I was too naïve to be bewitched by you."

"Don't worry, wait, she may change her ...... in a few days"

Zhang Shiqing didn't like to hear the words "wait" the most, so he turned around and ran down the mountain.

When Xu Ji picked up the bucket and walked slowly to the foot of the mountain, he saw Zhang Shiqing whipping the weeds with his saddle.

The weeds in the valley have decreased a lot, and the far center is still luxuriant, and even if it is whipped, only a few leaves will be lost.

Zhang Shiqing lost his temper, let out a sigh of relief, and said to Xu Ji: "No matter what, thank you." ”

"I'm not too late to thank you when it's done."

Zhang Shiqing shook his head, "Actually, I have also thought about it carefully, Zhao'an anti-thieves are used by Yecheng, it is indeed whimsical, not to mention that the distance between Ji and Qinzhou is far away, and your wife is not reliable, she is the daughter of the king of thieves, after you abandoned the darkness and turned to the light, she did not come to Yecheng with you, but returned to Qinzhou with the thief soldiers, and continued to be the enemy of the imperial court. ”

Xu Ji put down his burden and said with a smile: "This is the 'bewitchment' of the county lord of Huanyan." ”

Zhang Shiqing's face sank, "Is she unreasonable?" ”

"Makes sense, just got one thing wrong. If Yecheng is a thief when the army is a thief, he will naturally not be able to join forces, and he will not accept Zhao'an. If Yecheng was a force when the army was descended, no different from all families, and had the heart of alliance, this matter would not be so 'whimsical'. ”

"Hah, how is that possible? An official is an official, a thief is a thief, and can he still sit on an equal footing? Ning Baoguan is still accepting Zhao'an in Jiangdong, but Yecheng wants to depreciate his identity? ”

"Yecheng can be humiliated by foreigners, why can't he be on an equal footing with internal thieves? Ning Bao cares about the sinister, does such a person Yecheng dare to ask for it? ”

Zhang Shiqing was speechless for a while, and swept away with a horsewhip until he was tired, but his tone was much gentler, and he could even laugh out loud, "In your eyes, I'm just a little fool, right?" ”

"How so?"

"Anyway, I'm not smart enough, and I'm 'bewitched' by you back and forth. Next time, don't let me talk in the middle, you two can talk directly, if it goes on like this, I'd rather ...... I'd rather marry outside the Saiwai, I heard that the people there are simple and simple, and they won't beat around the bush when they speak. ”

Zhang Shiqing walked away.

Xu Ji took on the burden again, he was not in a hurry, the county lord of Huanyan had been reminded, and he would slowly figure it out, and the most important thing was that the descendant army had to hold Xijing in order to get respect from here.

In front of him was Fan Guan's grave, where the weeds had been removed by the officers and soldiers, revealing a tombstone, and a small wooden house not far away.

The door of the house was closed, silent, except for receiving food, Yu Zhan rarely interacted with the people in the valley, and when he met occasionally, he would inevitably hold his head high and show his eyes.

Xu Ji has some admiration for Zhan, and he will soon change his attitude.

Yu Zhan flashed out from behind a tree, striding from the slanted thorns, his eyes blazing, as if he had something very important to say.

Because he had never said hello before, Xu Ji didn't speak, but slowed down, guessing that Yu Zhan was probably going to ask for Sigu again.

When he was only more than ten steps away, Xu Ji suddenly woke up, although he felt incredible, but he knew that the danger was in front of him, so he put down the bucket and pulled out the flat ......

Yu Zhan quickened his pace, roared, and pounced, raising his right arm high, revealing the dagger in his hand.

Xu Ji didn't have time to lift the flat pole, so he had to dodge and dodge, but he still fell down.

These two are scholars, Xu Ji has practiced swordsmanship, at best it is a hobby, and it can't be compared with real swordsmen or even ordinary soldiers, watching each other pounce, knowing what to do, his movements are still slower.

Yu Zhan is not known for his strength, this pounce, a stab exhausted all his strength, the dagger stabbed the target, but he stood unsteadily, continued to rush out of two steps, tripped by the bucket, also fell to the ground, turned over and waited to get up, the ground was full of water, slippery and could not slip away, he danced for a while before barely standing upright, but found that the dagger in his hand was gone.

The dagger was still on Xu Ji's shoulder.

Xu Ji reluctantly got up and fled along the road.

Yu Zhan's eyes were red, regardless of whether he had a weapon in his hand or not, he chased after him quickly, and yelled in his mouth, "Xu Ji is here!" ”

A few people ran on the opposite side, Xu Ji's heart was relieved, his feet were also loosened, and he fell to the ground again.

There were shouts all over front and behind him, Xu Ji knew that he was safe, so he didn't try to get up again, "Spare his life!" ”

Chang Yanzhi and the others had already pressed down the crazy Yu Zhan, and were about to beat him, but when they heard the order of the son, their subordinates showed mercy, but their fists still rained down.

Someone rushed to hear the sound, carried Xu Ji back to the bedroom, pulled out the dagger, dressed the medicine, and finally the injury was not serious, he did not faint, he could still speak, but he needed to stay in bed for the time being.

The old servant was anxious and angry, and a little complaining, he stayed by the bedside, wiping blood, dressing, bandaging, etc., all of which he did himself, sighed vigorously, and saw that Gongzi seemed to be fine, and finally spoke: "Gongzi is really careless, and it was a mistake to allow that person to enter the valley in the first place." Don't look at me as illiterate, and I don't have a plan in my heart, but I look at people accurately, Yu Zhan said that he was a scholar, but he was angry, not like a good person. I have long said to ignore him, there is no food, he can't last a few days, but Gongzi insists that I send him food every day, alas, all feed the white-eyed wolf. ”

"Siguo Valley is the 'home' of all Fan Sect disciples, how can I refuse Yu Zhan to move in? I don't think he is a white-eyed wolf, but he must have been instigated. ”

"Why don't you incite others to instigate him? And what if you instigate it? Yu Zhan is not a good person, the son doesn't need to think about it, since he lives in Yecheng, let's follow the customs of the countryside and listen to the master's arrangement. Later, we will send Yu Zhan out and let the government punish him. ”

"No, you go and tell the others, don't tell the public."

"The son stayed in Siguo Valley, and he got the consent of the government, why do you always seem to be ashamed?"

Xu Ji squeezed out a smile, "Don't fight with me at this time." ”

"I won't fight with my son at any time, and I can't fight." The old servant muttered, turned around and went out to give orders, and soon came back, "Everyone is angry, and I can't wait to ...... There are people buried in the back mountain, what is Childe afraid of? ”

The corpses of several assassins were buried in the back mountain, known only to the people in the valley, and no one leaked them to the public.

"Different." Xu Ji sat up and slowly moved his feet.

"Childe, lie down, there is something you tell me to do."

"Help me put on my shoes, I'll see you."

"Childe still hasn't accepted the lesson?"

"Gotta see, figure out what's going on. Don't be afraid, Yu Zhan has no weapons on him, and he is not my opponent. ”

"Hey, I've always admired Childe's intelligence, as for his skills - I've seen Childe practice knives, and to be honest, I don't see where it comes from." The old servant said as he put on his son's shoes.

"I don't think I'm a master, either." Xu Ji said with a smile.

After leaving the house, Chang Yanzhi took the two to follow to protect the safety of his son.

Yu Zhan was locked up in an empty room, his hands and feet were tied, his face was blue and swollen, his eyes were round and angry, and he scolded as soon as he saw Xu Ji: "Xu Ji is a shameless man, killing kings, killing fathers, killing mothers, ......"

Xu Ji sat down and nodded to the old servant and the others, "He can't move me." ”

Chang Yan stepped forward to check and confirm that the rope was strong enough, and then exited the room: "We are guarding the door, and we will arrive as soon as we call." ”

The old servant had no choice but to leave, and said to Yu Zhan: "Have you read all your books in the dog's stomach?" Have a longer conscience, if it weren't for the soft-heartedness of the son, you would have ...... long ago Hum. ”

There were only two people left in the room, and Yu Zhan was almost scolding, staring at Xu Ji and panting.

Xu Ji was silent for a long time, "Mr. Fan's reputation is ruined by you. ”

"Phew, I risked my life for my teacher......"

"If Mr. Fan is still alive, what will he think when he hears about what you have done?"

"Teacher...... Teacher...... You're thinking about it......"

"With Mr. Fan's free and easy, will he care about a valley?"

"Fan Sect disciples care!"

Xu Ji sighed lightly, "It was precisely because you did not obey the master's orders that Mr. Fan expelled you from the valley, leaving Song Zhuzhu alone. ”

"I'm not in a war of words with you." Yu Zhan turned his head, afraid that he would be shaken again.

Xu Ji got up, came to Yu Zhan's approach, laboriously untied the rope in his hand, and retreated to sit down.

Yu Zhan was taken aback, his eyes stared at Xu Ji, and his hands untied the restraints on his feet.

"Go away, and don't stay in the valley any longer."

Yu Zhan was even more surprised, although he was free, he was unarmed and couldn't kill Xu Ji.

"Be careful when you return to the city, the person who instigated your assassination may use you again to kill you and frame me for ......"

"If I am killed, it will be your mastermind." Yu Zhan interrupted.

Xu Ji smiled, "Also, I won't leave Siguo Valley, because Mr. Fan wants me to stay, hoping that I can continue his learning and not be ...... by you disciples."

Yu Zhan was furious, walked a few steps, glanced at the door, and didn't make a move after all.

Xu Ji waited for a while, got up and walked towards the door, "Although you are instigated by others, but you dare to do it, you do have a bit of Fan Sect style, but you are an instigator, and you are getting farther and farther away from Mr. Fan's teachings." ”

"You've only heard a few teachings?"

"A lot, although Mr. Fan burned his works, it was only a drop in the bucket of Fan Xue." Xu Ji pushed the door and went out, and said to Changyan: "There is no need to stop it. ”

Yu Zhan walked out with his head held high, his steps involuntarily getting faster and faster, and he rushed out of the valley, and the oath of guarding the house was broken.

The old servant kept shaking his head, but there was nothing to say.

Xu Ji returned to the bedroom and saw Zhang Shiqing sitting on the edge of the bed sobbing.

Hearing the footsteps, Zhang Shiqing hurriedly stopped crying, got up and wiped away his tears, "Yes, I'm sorry." ”

"I'm sorry what?"

"I didn't see it...... I saw the assassin, but I didn't ...... didn't stay by your side, let you ...... Makes you hurt. ”

Xu Ji couldn't help laughing, pulling the wound and baring his teeth again.

"I finally made up my mind to come and apologize, and you actually laughed at me?" Zhang Shiqing said angrily.

"I don't laugh, but you don't have to apologize, the assassin is hiding, you didn't see it, I didn't see it, and the people in the valley didn't notice it. You are a guest in the valley, not a guard, and of course you don't have to be by my side all the time. So I don't blame you at all for this. ”

"You really don't blame me?"

"Don't blame, I don't blame anyone, since I choose to live in Siguo Valley, I have to bear all the dissatisfaction and opposition."

Zhang Shiqing finally broke into a smile, "Is the injury serious?" ”

"Being able to walk, talk, and laugh must not be heavy."

Zhang Shiqing breathed a sigh of relief again, "As for the assassin, hand it over to the government and punish him with death." ”

"I just let go."

"Huh?"

"I said, I don't blame anyone."

"You're such a ...... Kook. Zhang Shiqing came over, lay on the bed with Xu Ji in his arms, stared at him for a while, and suddenly said, "Tell me the truth, who are you the real wife?" ”
