The two were taken aback, not because they saw the tragic situation of the corpses of the shopkeeper Wang and Mrs. Wang, but because of the pile of things next to the corpses.

It was a pile of human heads, roughly counting, there were eight.

Yuan Chen and Yuan Moqing didn't dare to come out, they just looked at Liu Ming in a daze.

Liu Ming smiled and said in a low voice: "Didn't I say it all, those eight soldiers have been persuaded by me to make amends to Shopkeeper Wang and Mrs. Wang." ”

"This ...... You did it? Yuan Chen stammered and asked.

"Otherwise? They can't just put their heads down here, right? Liu Ming said with a smile.

Yuan Chen stopped talking, and she re-examined Liu Ming in her heart. This man is kind, far-sighted, and decent, but he is ruthless enough. It seems that there is indeed a great general, and in this chaotic world, he will definitely do something.

"Let's go, we have something to say on the way. In a moment the soldiers who were responsible for escorting the large number of weapons got up, and it was difficult for us to get out. Liu Ming said.

Yuan Chen and Yuan Moqing nodded, followed Liu Ming to the stable outside, untied the reins of several horses, flew on the horse, and galloped all the way. When the rooster crowed three times, the three horsemen finally ran out of Daping Town.

The sun climbed high, and the three of them slowed down.

Liu Ming untied the treasure knife behind his back, unloaded the cloth bag, and pulled the knife out of its sheath. The blade reflects the sunlight and is unusually glaring.

"What a good knife." Liu Ming sighed.

"Brother Liu." Yuan Moqing said happily, "It seems that you are really extraordinary." But why don't you see what weapon you're using? ”

"Me?" Liu Ming smiled, "I don't use weapons. ”

"Oh?" Yuan Moqing said, "Then how did you make those thugs beheaded?" ”

"I'm going to knock them unconscious first, and then I'm going to ...... with their saber," Liu Ming said, making a decapitation gesture.

"How can you knock eight people out at once? And even the slightest movement in one room would alarm their companions and even a large number of soldiers in other rooms of the store. Yuan Chen raised his own questions.

"Ha," Liu Ming said with a smile, "I've been practicing light skills for many years, if I have to make a move to kill them, wouldn't this light skill be in vain?" ”

"You? Light work? Yuan Moqing looked at the other party with a suspicious expression. Indeed, according to the current standard, Liu Ming is nearly two meters tall, and his figure is very strong, and he is estimated to weigh a hundred kilograms.

"Don't believe me?" Liu Ming seemed to see the suspicions of the two and smiled confidently.

"Unless, of course, you show us a hand." Yuan Moqing said provocatively.

"Okay, I'd love to put on a show for the two young ladies." Liu Ming said, patted the horse hard, and the black horse galloped.

The speed of the horse was very fast, but Liu Ming, who was on the horse, suddenly threw his feet off the stirrup, raised his legs, stepped over the horse's head with his right foot, and put his feet on the left side of the horse's body, and then, he grabbed the saddle and jumped off the horse.

"Ahh The two girls watching from the back couldn't help but exclaim, the horse was running too fast, and ordinary people would have to fall and be injured if they jumped down like this.

However, Liu Ming did not fall, but grabbed the saddle in his hand and ran a few steps in the direction of progress, and the speed was as fast as the horse. What's even more surprising is that after Liu Ming ran a few steps, his right foot was raised high, and he stepped on the stirrup accurately, and then grabbed the saddle's hand with a force, and his body instantly flew up with the horse.

Liu Ming reined in the horse's reins, the horse's speed slowed down, and after Yuan Chen and Yuan Moqing caught up, he turned his head and asked, "How is it?" Believe it, right? ”

The two girls opened their mouths wide in surprise and were speechless for a while.

"Don't look like that, give a review." Liu Ming said with a smile.

"It's just ......" Yuan Moqing was speechless halfway through.

"It's amazing......" Yuan Chen took Yuan Moqing's words.

"Thank you, both." Liu Ming clenched his fists and said with a smile.

"Brother Liu, you," Yuan Moqing seemed to be trying to calm down her excitement, and paused for a long time before saying, "How did you think of learning light skills?" ”

"Oh, that's right." Liu Ming said, "Because I am always out running business, and sometimes I have to escort goods. In this era, there are many thieves, and sometimes it is inevitable to be robbed. At that time, light work was the guarantee of escape. ”

"Huh?" Yuan Moqing listened and laughed, "It turns out that such a powerful light skill is actually used to escape for your life." Ha ha. ”

"Isn't it?" Liu Ming said, "Only by escaping for your life can you have a chance to start over." ”

"Indeed," Yuan Chen, who has experienced a lot, agreed with the other party's statement very much, saying, "Life is more important than everything." ”

Yuan Moqing tilted his head and thought for a while, and said: "However, you have such a powerful martial art to control the enemy, eight officers and soldiers were killed by you in an instant, and when you encounter a few thieves, do you still need to run for your life?" ”

Liu Ming said with a smile: "The martial arts of defeating the enemy are practiced later. When I practiced light gong, I didn't know how to do one-trick punch and kick kung fu. ”

"I see." Yuan Moqing nodded.

"So, what's next for us?" Yuan Chen asked.

Liu Ming thought for a while and said, "If you run fast today, you should be able to get out of the Xiangyang realm." Tomorrow you should be able to enter the Suizhou boundary. Out of Suizhou, I want to head a little north, first to Xinyang Mansion in Henan Province - that's a big place, and we can sell this knife there first. With money, you can travel safely. ”

"Agreed." Yuan Moqing said.

Yuan Chen also nodded. The three men slapped their horses and headed east.

Nothing to say all the way. That night, the three of them stopped in a small town north of Suizhou, and they were also uneventful. The next day, I hurried for a day, and when it was completely dark, I finally came to Xinyang Mansion in Henan.

Although it was completely dark, Xinyang City was brightly lit. The three of them learned from the shopkeeper of their accommodation the previous night that Henan had been almost completely occupied by Li Zicheng, and they needed to be very careful. So Liu Ming first went to explore the way and confirmed that Xiangyang's wanted notices for Yuan Chen and Yuan Moqing had not been posted, and then he entered the city.

Xinyang is an important town in Henan, bordering Hubei in the south, holding two Huai on the left, controlling Jianghan on the right, connecting the east and west, shielding the Central Plains, known as the "thoroughfare of the three provinces", from ancient times to the present, it is a strategic place between the Jianghuai River and Han, and it is an important channel for economic and cultural exchanges between the north and the south. Xinyang has a long history and outstanding people, and is one of the birthplaces of Chinese civilization. The landscape here is beautiful, the climate is pleasant, and it has always had the reputation of "Jiangnan in the north and south of the Yangtze River" and "small Suzhou in southern Henan".

After the three of them entered the city, they did not rush to find an inn to settle in, but first strolled around casually. Tonight's Xinyang seems to be particularly lively, and the streets are almost crowded with people who buy and sell food and clothing.

Liu Ming inquired and learned that it turned out that the first and second days of the new year and the fifteenth and sixteenth days of each month in Xinyang were assemblies, and today happened to be the fifteenth.

"No wonder the moon is so round, I've been on the road, and I've forgotten that it's fifteen." Yuan Moqing said.

yes, it's fifteen again. Yuan Chen thought. It has been several months since I arrived in ancient times, and in these few months, I have experienced bizarre twists and turns, and there have been many changes. I don't know where Wu Ruojie is now, and I don't know what kind of things will happen to him.

Yuan Chen was thinking about it when Liu Ming's laughter interrupted her train of thought.

"It's a coincidence, it's been a rally these two days, and my knife should be sold easily."

"If you meet someone who knows the goods, you should be able to sell it for a good price." Yuan Moqing said, "Otherwise, if it is sent to a pawnshop or a weapon store that recycles weapons, I am afraid it will be greatly discounted." ”

"Not bad. In this case, let's take a good stroll and find a place to eat and relieve the fatigue of the past few days. Find a better inn to stay in and have a good rest. Liu Ming arranged.

"Agreed!" Yuan Moqing shouted.

"Yuanyuan, what about you?" Liu Ming asked Yuan Chen.

"Okay." Yuan Chen also nodded.

After the three of them discussed, they found a relatively large hotel, asked for a table full of dishes, and had a big meal. Then, according to the recommendation of the shopkeeper, I walked half a mile west and came to an inn.

There is a big flag hanging on the inn, and there are four big characters on it - "Jincheng Inn". After tying their horses to the stables in front of the door, the three of them strode inside. Although the inn is not big, it is very tidy inside and out, and it seems that there are not many people waiting for it, and it is relatively quiet. That's exactly what they wanted.

The three of them asked for two rooms, one for Yuan Chen and Yuan Moqing, and one for Liu Ming. When she returned to the room, for some reason, Yuan Moqing was reluctant to give up on Liu Ming, and even pulled and pulled. Yuan Chen looked at her and smiled secretly in his heart, this little girl is about to have spring.

When she arrived at the room, Yuan Chen lay down and talked to Yuan Moqing, she was too tired these days. After a while, she fell asleep.

I don't know how long I slept, Yuan Chen suddenly heard a knock on the door, she immediately opened her eyes and touched the pistol placed beside her.

But no one entered, and the door was shut. She sat up and found that Yuan Moqing's bed was empty, and it seemed that Yuan Moqing had gone out.

Did you get up at night? Yuan Chen thought about it, breathed a sigh of relief, and lay down to continue sleeping. But after a while, I heard a knock on the door next door.

The walls between each room in the inn are made of thick planks. Separated from Yuan Chen's bed is the bed next door, which is also Liu Ming's bed. The sound insulation effect of the wooden planks is not very good, and the movement from next door can be heard instinctively, and in the dead of night, it is even clearer. Yuan Moqing actually went to Liu Ming's room. Yuan Chen hurriedly got up, found a place for the seam of the wooden board, leaned on it, and listened.

"Why are you here?" Liu Ming asked.

"Brother Liu, I'...... I miss you. Yuan Moqing said.

"It's a big night, don't you sleep well, why do you want to do so much?"

"I can't sleep because I miss you."

"Don't seduce me, you know, I'm a married man."

"But isn't your wife already ......?"

"Yes, she's gone, but I've been married after all."

"I don't care."

Liu Ming was silent.

"What I said is true, Brother Liu, trust me."

"Mo Qing, you ......" Liu Ming said halfway through his words and swallowed back.

"Brother Liu!" Yuan Moqing said, there was a "coo-dong", as if the two had collided somewhere, and then, there was a rapid gasping sound.

Yuan Chen didn't want to listen to it, so he lay back on the pillow and suddenly remembered Wu Ruojie. She wanted to control her emotions, she didn't want to listen, but the voice next door became clearer and clearer, and she missed Wu Ruojie even more. Gradually, tears blurred her eyes, and in this sentimentality, she fell asleep again.

When she got up in the morning, Yuan Moqing had already sat up on her bed. With the moisture of a man, she seemed particularly excited.

"Morning! Sister Yuanyuan! You've slept so long, good pig. Yuan Moqing sneered.

Yuan Chen smiled, got out of bed, stood up, rubbed his eyes and walked to the window, looking outside.

The sun had already risen, and a ray of sunlight was shining on the windowsill.

"It's a nice day." Yuan Moqing said.

"yes." Yuan Chen responded, "I hope Liu Ming can sell the knife for a good price." ”

"Hmm." Yuan Moqing said, "Brother Liu also got up early, and he asked the store for breakfast. Said it would be delivered to our room in a moment. He also came to eat with us. ”

"Oh." Yuan Chen nodded.

After washing, the food had been delivered, and Liu Ming also went to their room to have breakfast together. Yuan Chen observed the actions of the two while eating, Yuan Moqing was very considerate to Liu Ming, they had been together for a long time, it was the first time they had seen her take care of others so carefully, but on the other hand, Liu Ming was a little embarrassed to eat by herself. After Yuan Chen saw it, he smiled secretly in his heart.

After the three of them finished breakfast, Liu Ming picked up the knife and said, "Then I'll go out." ”

"I'm going to follow you!" Yuan Moqing said.

"Don't go, all of you. Selling knives is not playing, if you don't meet a buyer, you will be very tired to stand there for a day. You'd better rest in your room. Liu Ming said. Although the words were to let the two of them rest, his eyes were only staring at Yuan Moqing alone.

Yuan Moqing twisted and agreed. Liu Ming turned around and walked out of the room. There were two girls left in the room.

"Mo Qing." Yuan Chen called.

"Huh?" Yuan Moqing was stunned at the door that had just closed, startled.

"You don't seem right." Yuan Chen teased her.

"Oh, something is wrong." Yuan Moqing pretended not to know.

"Eyes," Yuan Chen said, "eyes are straight." ”

"Nothing." After Yuan Moqing finished speaking, she deliberately looked east and west, but her eyes were messy.

"Don't lie it to me." Yuan Chen smiled, "I know everything." ”

"What do you know? I'm not hiding anything from you. Yuan Moqing didn't admit it.

"So, what did you do when you left the room last night?"

"Huh?" Yuan Moqing looked at Yuan Chen, and suddenly jumped up laughing, "Sister Yuanyuan, you are so bad, you actually followed me." ”

The two girls laughed and rolled onto the bed.

"But seriously, sister, he's really nice." After a long time, Yuan Moqing smiled enough, lay on the bed, and said to Yuan Chen.

"Yes, I know." Yuan Chen said.

"You know?" Yuan Moqing suddenly got up and said with a smile, "What do you know?" You are not allowed to rob me. ”

"Where do you want to go?" Yuan Chen twisted his red face to the side and said with a smile, "I'm not rare. ”

"Alas, I don't know when Brother Liu will come back." Yuan Moqing smiled, got up and walked to the window, and muttered to herself.

"It shouldn't be long. In such a big city, and just in time for the market to be so lively, there should be people who know the goods. Yuan Chen also got up and comforted.

"Well," Yuan Moqing nodded and said, "The knife is indeed a good knife, and people are definitely good people." ”

Yuan Chen laughed out loud and said, "Look at you, it's only been one night, and the way you speak has changed." Is it Liu Ming all the time in my heart now? ”

Yuan Moqing was embarrassed, blushed and smiled: "Sister Yuanyuan, if you have such a man in your heart, you will also change for him." ”

After Yuan Chen heard this, he couldn't laugh anymore. She does have such a man in her heart, why hasn't she changed a lot for him? Even after that man did so many things to be sorry for himself and killed so many of his companions, he still spared no effort to love him and excuse him everywhere. Could he really be the love of his life?

Yuan Chen was thinking about it when he suddenly heard the sound of hurried footsteps in the corridor and stopped at the door of the room, and then there was a knock on the door.

"Is Brother Liu back?" Yuan Moqing said happily and hurriedly opened the door.

"Slow! Ask first! Yuan Chen hurriedly stopped her and asked, "Who?" ”

"Me, Liu Ming!" Outside, the voice was muffled.

Yuan Moqing smiled at Yuan Chen, as if to say, look, I said it's Brother Liu. After laughing, he opened the door.

As soon as the door opened a crack, Liu Ming jumped in with a knife in a flash, startling the two of them.

I saw that Liu Ming looked panicked, his body was covered with blood, and blood was also dripping from the knife.

Seeing this, Yuan Moqing hurriedly asked, "What's wrong?" What happened? ”

"It's a big deal!" Liu Ming said, "Hurry up and pack your things, let's leave Xinyang!" ”
