Chapter 25: Yue'er

The owner was a man in his mid-forties with a white handkerchief wrapped around his head. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 info watched Xuan Jing and the others come in, and hurriedly stepped forward to greet him: "Three guest officers, are you passing through the town!" It's really hard to travel on such a cold day, come and roast by this stove, and the mutton soup will be ready immediately! ā€

Although Liu Xiang has deep internal strength, he galloped all night, and his body was slightly chilled. Then he squeezed next to the stove with Xuanjing and Huiqin to warm up.

However, after a cup of tea, the shopkeeper Lao Wang came up with a wooden tray with three bowls of steaming mutton soup, two small plates containing ordinary pickled vegetables, and a porcelain basin with three dough cakes in it.

Xuan Jing and the others were already hungry, and they didn't care about anything at this time. One of them brought a bowl and put it on the edge of the stove and prepared to eat it.

At this time, the four customers sitting in a corner of the store suddenly stood up, the four of them didn't say a word, they stood up and waved their hands continuously, and the small store was suddenly filled with cold light.

This store is not very spacious, and these four men are all good at hidden weapons, and I saw that within an instant, dozens of cold lights shot straight towards Liu Xiang and the other three. At this time, there was a sudden change, Xuan Jing and Huiqin stayed in the hall, and they forgot to dodge!

Fortunately, there was Liu Xiang by his side, and he stretched out his hand to pull out the Muyun sword from the sheath on Xuanjing's waist, only to see that Liu Xiang did not raise his waist and did not move, only with his wrist turning, and the long sword in his hand drew a circle, like a shield in front of the three of them.

The hidden weapons issued by the four men on the other side, no matter how tricky the angle was and how fast the speed was, none of them could break through the sword circle drawn by Liu Xiang, and all of them hit the scabbard. Liu Xiang breathed inside, and the hidden weapon that hit the scabbard shot up, flying backwards towards the four men, and the castration was even more fierce than when he came!

Seeing that the other party had such a skill, the four men didn't have time to draw their weapons to block, so they could only dodge in a hurry. Liu Xiang saw the right time, and several assassins only saw a flash of figure, and they didn't see how he used his strength to jump, Liu Xiang was already standing in front of several assassins.

Liu Xiang held Mu Yun's sword and sheathed it, and everyone in the house only felt that the scenery in front of them was half on top and half on the bottom, as if the power of a sword was even split in half of this small shop.

Unexpectedly, there was no sound under the thunderous and lightning sword. The four Assassins stood still.

Liu Xiang turned around with the Muyun Sword in his hand, and the four people behind him fell to the ground together. Unexpectedly, under this sword, the four of them were cut off by the true qi on the Liu Xiang sword and died of the meridians in their bodies!

Xuan Jing and Hui Qin stood aside, dumbfounded! Neither of them thought that there was such a swordsmanship in the world, and four kills could be completed with one sword!

At this time, a young girl suddenly rushed out of the back hall of the store, ran to the shopkeeper and cried: "Daddy! Daddy, are you alright? ā€

Everyone was stunned, and when they turned their heads, they saw that the shopkeeper Lao Wang had been hit by several hidden weapons, and he had already lost his breath when he fell to the ground.

Liu Xiangchang sighed, feeling very guilty in his heart. When the battle was fierce just now, Lao Wang was far away from Xuan Jing and the others. The four killers intended to distract Liu Xiang to save people, and when they sent out secret weapons, several of them were directed at the innocent shopkeeper. Although Liu Xiang's martial arts are high, he is not as good as saving him. This old king is just an ordinary person, he doesn't have any martial arts on his body, he has several darts in his body, and these assassins' hidden weapons are quenched with poison, where is there still life at this time.

Liu Xiang also hated these killers for being ruthless and harming the innocent, so he was ruthless when he shot just now, and he took four lives with one sword, which can be regarded as avenging Lao Wang, and he wants to be stable in his heart.

At this time, Liu Xiang didn't care about comforting the girl in the hall, he first walked to the corpses of several assassins, and carefully checked whether there was any information worthy of attention on the assassins.

Several assassins were shattered by Liu Xiang's sword, and if there was any identity information on their bodies, it should not be too late to destroy it.

Huiqin stood behind Liu Xiang and asked, "Senior, do you have anything on these assassins?" Where are they, and who commanded them? ā€

Liu Xiang shook his head and said: "It seems that he is a professional in this business, and he goes out with the belief that he will die, and he has nothing else on his body except for a little scattered silver." ā€

"That's okay, it must have been instructed by Xuanye, and they are also vicious!" Huiqin said hatefully.

Liu Xiang carefully looked at the hands of several assassins and said, "It must be good that Xuan Ye is the mastermind, but these assassins are not from the Jin Kingdom!" ā€

"It's not from the Jin Kingdom, where is that?" Xuan Jing was also a little curious.

"Jing'er, look at their hands, the calluses in the palms are in a strange position. No matter what kind of weapons the Central Plains samurai practiced, they would not have calluses on their hands in these positions. ā€

Xuan Jing was stunned for a moment, and walked forward to check the hands of several assassins, and found that the part of the cocoon was really strange. Xuan Jing himself has also learned swords since he was a child, and he has also sharpened a few cocoons on his hands, knowing that the cocoons sharpened by ordinary sword holding will not be the position in the hands of these assassins in front of him.

"Grandpa Liu, maybe the weapons used by these people are more unique?" Xuan Jing asked.

Liu Xiang smiled slightly: "There are all kinds of unique weapons in the world, and there are those that I have never seen." However, although these assassins used hidden weapons today, and the weapons they carried with them were also ordinary short swords, but the weapons they usually used were not these, the katana of the samurai of the Dongyi Kingdom they used. ā€

When Xuanjing and Huiqin heard Dongyiguo, they both said, "Huh! "A bang.

Liu Xiangjian was puzzled by both of them, and explained: "It seems that the people of Xuanye and Dongyi are also colluding with each other in private, which is not surprising, Dongyi has always had the idea of fighting my Central Plains, and it is no longer a day or two. Their wolf ambitions and Genye's ability to coincide together is also expected by me. ā€

"And the hidden weapons used by these assassins are all ordinary throwing knives and darts that have been quenched with poison, obviously to hide their identities. However, their secret weapons and internal breath cannot be hidden, these people are all ninjas of the Mochizuki clan of Dongyi Kingdom! Liu Xiang said, glancing in the direction of the shopkeeper Lao Wang and the girl.

Xuanjing and Huiqin saw that the girl was crying sadly, and they couldn't help but feel compassion in their hearts. What's more, the shopkeeper died for no reason because of the involvement of his own group.

"This sister, the uncle is in misfortune, sister should not be overly sad, sister still has relatives in this town, I still have some silver taels here, you take it to bury your father, go to your relatives." Huiqin said as she took out a brocade money bag from her sleeve and handed it to the girl.

Who knew that the girl didn't turn her head, and she didn't pay attention to Huiqin, but just hugged her father's corpse and cried vigorously.

Xuan Jing looked embarrassed by Huiqin and was about to step forward. Liu Xiang knew that these two people had little experience in the rivers and lakes, and they would not persuade others. The little girl got up in the morning and lived a small life with her father selling sheep soup, and her father died in a blink of an eye.

Liu Xiang hurriedly grabbed Xuan Jing, stepped forward and asked, "Little girl, do you have any relatives in this town?" ā€

The girl heard Liu Xiang's kind and pleasant voice, and involuntarily turned back and said: "Back to the old man's words, the little girl and her father were originally from the state, and my mother died early, and my father brought me to Digi to do business." Who knows that although Digi is large, most of the businesses are controlled by the Chamber of Commerce, and if outsiders want to do some small business, they have to pay them a monthly fee. My father couldn't afford it, so he took me out of Digi and opened this small shop in this town...... Today......"

Liu Xiang felt very troubled in his heart, if this girl still had relatives nearby, then she could only send this girl to her relatives' house and give her more silver taels to bury her father, although it took some troubles, but she could also settle down with peace of mind.

At present, this girl has no relatives and no reason, and the three of them are wanted by the imperial court, how to settle this girl.

Liu Xiang couldn't help but look at the girl in front of him, and saw that although the girl was wearing a coarse cloth dress, the cut was very fitting, setting off the girl's slender and tall figure. There is no powder on the face, but there is a natural and pure color, and a pair of eyes crying brightly, which seems to be weak and can't help the wind, which makes people want to protect themselves.

Before Liu Xiang could speak, Xuan Jing suddenly said: "This sister, although our group was hunted down by bad people, we are all serious people. We all feel guilty for eating a bowl of mutton soup in your store today, but it caused your father to die for no reason. ā€

"It's just that we can't stay here for a long time, if my sister doesn't have relatives to be desperate, why don't we help you bury this old man, how about you go on the road with us?"

The girl turned her head to look at Xuan Jing, hesitated in her heart, and asked, "Who are you and where are you going?" ā€

Liu Xiang hurriedly said: "We are the business traveler of Digi, this son's name is Jingxuan, because the father-in-law offended some gangsters on the road and was killed by them, we can't establish a foothold in Digi, so we fled." We are going to Qingzhou Yequanguo, where we have a few friends. ā€

The girl nodded and said, "Right now, I have no relatives and no reason, my father is dead, and I can only go with you." The girl paused at this point, obviously hurting in her heart, and continued: "Although Daddy died because of you, it was these gangsters who were ruthless, no wonder you, not to mention that this old man also killed a few bad people, and he also avenged Daddy." ā€

Huiqin couldn't help but feel a little comforted when she heard that although this girl had just experienced the pain of losing her father, she seemed to be knowledgeable in her words and demeanor, and she would not have too much trouble with her in the future.

"Sister, what's your name and how old are you this year?" Huiqin asked.

The girl was a little sorry because she had snubbed Huiqin just now, and she lowered her head and replied, "The little girl's name is Yue'er, and she is eighteen years old this year. ā€

"Oh! My sister is eighteen years old, is there no one to match? Huiqin asked again.

Yue'er seemed a little embarrassed, and said: "It was supposed to be a marriage to someone's family, but our father and daughter are both outsiders, and there are no relatives here, and the people in the town with ordinary family backgrounds are unwilling to marry us, and my father doesn't want me to marry a big family as a concubine, so it has been delayed." ā€
