Chapter 6 It was my first murder, and I was seven years old
Poor Zhang Xiaoxian was repeatedly frustrated, and blood flowed from the tiger's mouth on his shocked hands.
But when the blood flowed out infected the knife in his clenched hand, suddenly, the knife flashed a black and strange light in an instant.
Next, as Zhang Xiaoxian jumped up in the air again, slashing at the middle-aged man in white, only to hear a clear "click" sound.
"Ah...... Ah!" The middle-aged man in white, who was ignoring the provocation of an ordinary man to a cultivator, and was concentrating on the old man who was facing the old man, felt a tearing pain in his body, which had been surrounded by true qi.
The Imperial Light Sword that followed in mid-air fell violently after his mind was scattered.
And the reddish light that was frozen in mid-air by it took the opportunity to slam over, steadily penetrating the body that had been cut off half of its arm.
The man in white snorted and collapsed to the ground, his body convulsed in pain, but he didn't forget to turn his head with difficulty, and looked at the young man who was standing with a knife and looked at him vigilantly.
He didn't understand how the true qi of everything around him could be broken by such an ordinary little soldier.
That's not right, it shouldn't be!
"You, what kind of person are you......" The dying man in white, staring at a pair of gray eyes, which were full of dying despair and unwillingness, asked with difficulty.
"An ordinary soldier of Song Guo, I want to take your life" As soon as the words fell, a flash of rapid knife flashed, and Zhang Xiaoxian beheaded that person in front of everyone.
The sky was finally completely dark, but a faint moonlight was pouring down from the clouds and shining on the grass.
At this time, the most powerful enemy for these attackers, perhaps the last danger had passed, and everyone breathed a deep sigh of relief.
"Zhang Xiaoxian, you are so good!" Cao Wentao, the deputy lieutenant of the border army, was the first to run over excitedly, punched the young man hard, grinning endlessly, this many years ago under Chu Zhihuai's explanation, let them, the little leaders of the border army, must take care of the young man, has always been constantly creating surprises for them, in the battle against the barbarian bandits, when they secretly went to the mountains to hunt for tooth sacrifices, these people were shown by the extraordinary courage shown by this young man again and again, and the ruthlessness and precision when encountering enemies or prey, shocking no, maybe they have long forgotten that he is the person who the captain asked to take care of, but this young man has saved them in danger several timesγ
In this regard, in the distant border army of the Song Kingdom, no one would despise such a young man, and would not like such a young man, including him.
"How did you kid do it, and you actually succeeded in sneaking up on a cultivator, this is definitely something that will make people's jaws drop. Cao Wentao waved his big hand excitedly, and the spitting stars sprayed everywhere.
Zhang Xiaoxian reluctantly changed the knife from his right hand to his left hand, raised his arm and wiped a lot of foreign droplets on his face, frowned, and said, "I said Brother Cao, can you let me take a breath first, and then answer your questions that are not a problem." β
"Hahaha, okay, you great hero, rest now, and leave the rest to us!" he turned to the old man not far away, bowed slightly, and beckoned the remaining border soldiers to start cleaning up the wounded and tidying up the battlefield.
The gray-robed old man who had been standing not far from Zhang Xiaoxian, although he had consumed a huge amount of energy, his body was weak, and his face was pale and weak, but he still supported his tired body, staring at the young man for a long time, and the extremely thin hand knife in his hand, his expression was inexplicable, and he was silent.
This chariot and horse, which had encountered a strong enemy and had become a little embarrassed, finally began to rush again when dawn came, and it was still two or three days away at most from Wandang Mountain, where the people and horses received by the imperial court, so they had to rush over as soon as possible, so as not to encounter any more unknowable and powerful enemies.
The gray-robed old man, whose vitality was damaged, was arranged to be placed in another carriage and quietly recuperated from his injuries.
Zhang Xiaoxian and Cao Wentao still rode horses, walking in front of this team with not many people left.
However, the difference is that Xiao Shizi, who had been sitting in the first carriage, suddenly changed his temper and said to Cao Yuntao that he would either ride a horse and walk with Zhang Xiaoxian, or let him sit in the same car with him, because he had a lot to say to him.
Although Cao Yuntao secretly disliked it, he said in his heart that this bullshit little man really regarded himself as a distinguished guest?
But after thinking about it again, since the court wanted them to escort him into the capital, it couldn't offend him too much, maybe he was unhappy and made some kind of moth out on the road, and his Cao Wentao's sin would be great.
Thinking of this, he persuaded Zhang Xiaoxian to go to the car to see what tricks the little man was going to play.
Zhang Xiaoxian did not refuse, dismounted very happily, turned around and got into the first carriage.
"Can you show me your knife?" The two teenagers, who were already familiar with each other, sat side by side, and Xiao Shizi made a request very unceremoniously, which was something that had always surprised him and puzzled.
Zhang Xiaoxian's ordinary hand knife was so miraculous that it could break the cultivator's true qi, which was also too incredible.
Xiao Shizi never doubted whether Zhang Xiaoxian had practiced or not, because he had seen and heard from the contact in those days that he was a person with an extremely ordinary physique, and he had not been exposed to cultivation.
So this accident can only be because of the knife in Zhang Xiaoxian's hand.
He was very curious, and he was even more interested in this friend who didn't know if it was a friend.
The hand knife was taken to Xiao Shizi by Zhang Xiaoxian very happily, but he did not let go.
This is the habit of a hunter, a fighter, who cannot put his weapon in the hands of another person and put himself in danger, even if that person is his friend.
"It looks ordinary, no different from an ordinary knife......" Xiao Shizi's eyes widened, and he looked at it carefully.
"I heard Zhang Linzi say, this knife of yours was obtained by accident during a hunting, what is the story in this?" Xiao Shizi looked at him with interest, watching Zhang Xiaoxian withdraw his hand knife and insert it back into the scabbard at his waist.
"It's not a wonderful story, it's just that when I was hunting in the mountains, it happened to be raining heavily, so I hid in a cave, and then found it," Zhang Xiaoxian looked at the knife at his waist and said; When I first saw it, I wasn't particularly happy because it was ordinary, and I liked to use arrows and forks at that time, and you know hunting or those things are more practical, and so is my dad. β
"When did you find out that your knife wasn't ordinary?"
"When my aunt died," a trace of sadness flashed on Zhang Xiaoxian's face: "She wanted to go to the town below the mountain to change some fabrics and make clothes for our brothers, but she met a few robbers, they took a fancy to the mountain goods in my aunt's hand, and wanted to rob them openly, but my aunt didn't give them, so they robbed the goods, dragged her behind the horse, and dragged her to death. β
"How old were you then?"
"Seven-year-old ......," Zhang Xiaoxian said calmly.
The carriage kept moving, and the occasional uneven road made the people in the carriage shake with the body.
Fortunately, there is a thick layer of cushion in the carriage of this carriage, which is not as uncomfortable as an ordinary carriage, but even so, it still makes the little prince who has always been pampered feel a little uncomfortable.
He shifted his somewhat numb body and looked at the young man beside him.
"Don't always think about asking me anything again, let's worry about yourself, you said that after this time, will those people who want you die to do it again? And I have seen those people in black who were killed, and the cultivator in black robes are from your Yue Ji country. Zhang Xiaoxian suddenly changed the topic and said.
Xiao Shizi seemed to smile bitterly after hearing this, and said, "I estimate that they may have given up for the time being. β
"So you know who sent them?" Zhang Xiaoxian said without any surprise: "Someone wants to kill you, it means that you are a bit strong, and you have already posed a threat to others!"
Xiao Shizi shook his head: "I don't think I'm strong, but others don't think so, the biggest reason should be that God seems to want to make a joke with me that is not funny......" Xiao Shizi said helplessly:" You may not know that on the day I was just born, a vision suddenly appeared in the sky over the Imperial City of the Yue Turk Kingdom, and the colorful clouds rolled, rendering the entire Yue Ji Imperial City, plus I was born two years after my mother was pregnant, and the people of the country thought that I came on auspicious ground, inspired by God, and regarded me as the best candidate for the future monarch of the Yue Turkic Kingdom...... And at that time, the father had already set up a crown prince. β
"Ao, when you say that, I understand a little!" Zhang Xiaoxian nodded and said.
"Actually, I never wanted to be the king, it was not my goal, but they just didn't understand it, and they regarded me as a thorn in their side, and tried to harm me repeatedly for years. β
"Then you are not alive and well now, maybe this just shows that you are really a person who is favored by God. Zhang Xiaoxian wrinkled his nose and said.
"I don't know if I can stand the favor of God, I just know that no one can kill me!" Xiao Shizi chuckled and said lightly.
The speed of the convoy was much faster than before, and the people who were more vigilant and closely defended, finally arrived at the foot of Wandang Mountain, where the imperial court had agreed to receive people and horses, at noon two days later.
At that largest intersection, there was really a group of people waiting somewhere.
The leader is a young general, who looks to be in his early twenties, tall and wide, with an ordinary appearance, wearing light armor, carrying a knife at his waist, and a hint of arrogance in his majesty.
