Chapter 5: Leaving the Witch's House
Time is like an arrow, three years have passed, and Wu Xi is already 10 years old. It was his birthday, and a banquet had already been prepared in the house. He slept a rare night's sleep that day, and didn't wake up until the sun crawled up to his face. He rubbed his eyes and sat up from the bed. After calling outside, he lifted the quilt and walked down.
At this time, four beautiful maids pushed the door and walked in, Wu Xi has been sending people to secretly collect orphans from nearby states and counties for the past three years, and the four of them were selected as personal maids after a lot of selection. Wu Xi sighed, and the maids were busy around him, waiting for him to wash and dress. He is not used to being served like many of the protagonists of time-traveling novels, but rather enjoys it. Therefore, it was obviously unnecessary, but he still chose four maids from among those orphans.
But their existence is really irrelevant, and even the names he gave them were casually named according to the dragon set naming method, and they were called Narcissus Rain, Wisteria Xi, Camellia Wind and Han Lanxue in order of age. What is the naming method? For example, the plural appearance of the dragon set, their names are often related. For example, there are two goblins who appear at the same time in Journey to the West, one is called Ben Bo Er Ba and the other is called Ba Bo Er Ben, and for example, the black soil, loess, terracotta and various soils in the Hokage.
Without further ado, the four maids are not currently learning any martial arts, but are just learning to read and learn characters. The others are qin, chess, calligraphy and painting, and Wu Xi is practicing those things, so they also need to learn them. Narcissus Yu learns the piano, Wisteria Xi learns chess; But Camellia learned not books but paintings, because she really loves to paint, unlike other girls who only learn because of Wu Xi's arrangement. So Han Lanxue learned books, but this is also very suitable for her, because her character is very calm and calm.
After washing, the four maids led him to dinner. Today, everyone in the mansion is organizing for his birthday party, and his tenth birthday is very important to Wu Jian and his wife, and even set up a flowing water table outside the mansion for others to eat. As a result, almost half of the people of Maple Leaf Town were elated by his birthday, and the sons of several other wealthy families in the town also attended. He rarely communicates with these boys, but he still maintains a good friendship. Some of them are the only son of Wu Xi, the richest man, and Wu Xi is also willing to meet them, after all, the bi-monthly martial arts exchange meeting still needs the support of their parents.
After the feast, the people dispersed and left. Wu Xi returned to the study, he had read all the books here, and now he is well-read. What he had to think about now was how to get in touch with the real martial arts. He has some preliminary plans for this, among which of course there are "Northern Shengong" and "Lingbo Weibu" under the jade of Wuliang Mountain. With his understanding of the Taoist classics, he is confident that it will not be difficult to learn these two divine skills.
That being said, he doesn't have the ability to get it yet. If he wants to go out recklessly, I'm afraid he won't even be able to pass the pass of his parents. However, it is not completely impossible, his power in the Witch Mansion has already done a lot. There are many places that even Wu Jian is not clear, and of course, this situation is also the result of the acquiescence of this couple who dot on Wu Xi very much.
In short, Wu Xi still needs to prepare, what he likes is to plan and then act. Although the day of departure is getting closer and closer, he can still stabilize his mind before that. So he leisurely listened to the daffodils and played the piano, while playing chess with Wisteria Xi. In the evening, Wu Shun will come over on time to report the situation.
In this way, another few months passed, and he had been testing and hinting at Wu Jian and his wife these days, and finally waited until their attitude had relented. One night, he sent Wu Shun to replace the musk in Wu Jian's room with a sleeping effect. So, in the early morning of the next day, while Wu Jian and his wife were sleeping soundly, he left with Wu Shun, and Zhao Dan was still waiting for him outside the town. He poured out the four maids to prevent them from being angered by the couple. left a letter, took away capable retinues and strong guards, and ensured their safety and life, I believe that Wu Jian and his wife will not worry too much.
After Wu Jian got up, he quickly got the news. After reading Wu Xi's letter, the couple looked at each other for a long time, and both sighed helplessly. At this time, Wu Fu came to ask for instructions, and he was asked to take care of Wu Xi's forces, "Skynet", "Sabre" and those children. Wu Jian took over the plan in his hand and was very surprised, he didn't expect Wu Xi's power to have developed to such a point. These gave him a certain amount of comfort, and he looked at them carefully and instructed Wu Fu to do so. After that, Wu Jian comforted Yan, who was still in tears, and sent someone to find Wu Xi. He didn't want to bring Wu Xi back, he just wanted to at least know Wu Xi's whereabouts.
But it was said that Wu Xi left Wuzhou and went to Wuliang Mountain. Crossing the border, we came to the area controlled by the Nanjiang people, where law and order were very chaotic. Many of the locals, who were also people and bandits, did not obey the king, and often attacked passing caravans in groups.
Wu Xi and his party walked to the mountains and suddenly heard the sound of someone fighting. So the three of them sneaked over and saw two gangs fighting next to the official road. One of the people has the same clothes and weapons, and the moves are also the same way, which seems to be of high quality. In contrast, the other group of people seemed to be disorganized, and they didn't have any moves, but relying on the strength of the crowd, the situation was also deadlocked.
The three of them lay on their stomachs in the grass and looked at it for a while, but they also saw some signs. Zhao Dan asked, "Young Master, what should we do?" It seems that the natives robbed passers-by, but they ran into hard stubble. Wu Shun said: "Young master, the two groups seem to be very united and strong. Let us go away, lest we be discovered. ”
Talking, they are very well hidden, and there is no need to leave in a hurry for the time being. After fighting for a while, one of the uniformly dressed people shouted to the leader of the other party: "Patriarch H'er, I see that you can't take us either, why don't you stop fighting?" I'll give you this Sheep's Horn Mountain, and you let us go, how about it? "The leader of the natives has a dark yellow complexion, and he is holding a ghost-headed knife in his hand, and there is some blood left on the knife, obviously the force is not low. At this time, after listening to his words, he also shouted: "Sheep's Horn Mountain is not yours in the first place, and as long as you are killed, Sheephorn Mountain will still be ours!" After speaking, he snorted, sneered and continued: "However, it's okay to let you go, I heard that your Infinite Sword Sect is a famous sect, and there must be a lot of gold, silver and jewelry. Half of it is left and you are gone! ”
When the man heard this, his face turned pale with anger. But he still arched his hand and said: "I waited for the disciples of the Northern Sect, and it really cost a lot to come here from Wuliang Mountain. Besides, the Infinite Palace has just been built on the mountain, and now there is not much left. In this way, I will leave a hundred taels, and you will let us go, how about it? ”
Hal listened to what he said, sneered, and said, "Zhao Guangbiao, just a hundred taels want to send us away, when we ask for food?" If I agree, will I be worthy of these dead people? Zhao Guangbiao heard him say this, and knew that he was afraid that he would not be able to be good today. Say no more, kill the enemy in a muffled voice.
He was skilled in swordsmanship and exquisite in his moves, and at this time, he was in a state of anger, and he killed this group of natives screaming. Seeing this, Wu Xi gently patted the two of them and said, "Up, help the immeasurable disciples!" And he rushed forward. Zhao Dan and Wu Shun glanced at each other and rushed forward.
Zhao Dan's internal strength is not profound, but the knife technique makes it magnificent, and it has the potential to become a family of its own. Although Wu Xi has not yet learned internal skills, he can practice all the martial arts moves he can get very proficiently. Only Wu Shun has also learned some moves from the guards in the palace and the martial arts people recruited from the rivers and lakes, but because it takes a lot of time to deal with miscellaneous matters, his combat power is not as good as that of Wu Xi, the young master. Despite this, his body was flexible and his strength was not weak, and the three of them together immediately formed a force that was enough to affect the situation of the battle.
Seeing the three of them join their own camp, the morale of the immeasurable disciples was also greatly boosted, and they quickly defeated the native robbers. Seeing that the three of them were strong in force, and the natives were overwhelmed, the chief of the Hal clan rushed over to stop them.
So, as Zhao Dan happily cut off Hal's head, the battle ended smoothly. Seeing the leader beheaded, the remnants of the natives scattered in a hurry. Those immeasurable disciples did not chase either, they also suffered great losses, and there were many injured people, so it was not suitable to continue to chase after them.
