Page 55 [Proud Samurai]
A jug of wine grunted warmly on the stove.
The rain outside the window hasn't stopped.
The night is still long.
The vicissitudes of life sittered cross-legged on the ground, looking at the slightly swaying pot of wine, not knowing what Lu Dao was thinking.
"Ahemβ" A cough interrupted his musings, causing him to tilt his head slightly and ask behind him, "Are you awake?" β
"I'm awake." Chen Senran woke up in the chaos, his head was still extremely painful, and his nose smelled a faint aroma of wine, "You saved me?" β
He had already judged from the voice the identity of the man sitting not far from him, the samurai who had slashed his sword in the wind, Yasuo.
"No, you saved yourself." Yasuo shook his head, and stretched out a hand as if to touch the flask on the stove, but stretched it halfway and retracted it, "By the time I arrived, you had already killed that werewolf, and it was a terrible explosion, and you almost tore that werewolf to pieces. β
ββ¦β¦ What about her? Chen Senran couldn't remember the situation at all, he only smelled the residual smell of blood on his body.
"She ......," Yasuo said, tilting his head and turning his head in the other direction, "you are already awake, why are you still lying on the ground?" β
"I'm fine." The weak female warrior who was originally lying on the ground on the other side opened her eyes when she heard this, barely supported her body, leaned against the wall on the side, and looked at Chen Senran, "You don't care, right?" β
"I'm fine, it's just that my head hurts a little." Chen Senran also got up, but found that his limbs were weak, so he had no choice but to sit down again, "Anyway, I still want to thank you." β
"Not necessarily." The proud swordsman raised his eyebrows and stopped talking.
The rain continued to fall, outside the window. Separated by a window, it can only make a slight hitting sound.
There was something dreary in the room.
Only the sound of boiling wine kept ringing.
"What if...... If I guessed correctly. Irelia paused for a moment, breaking the silence and glancing at the swordsman with his back to her, his back straight, just sitting like that. It's like a sharp sword out of its sheath, "Your Excellency should be the first leader of the Sword Sect in the past, and the only genius swordsman in the contemporary era who has mastered the sword art of resisting the wind, Yasuo?" β
"Hmph-" Yasuo's face showed a hint of self-deprecation or mockery, and he said in a low voice, "What the number one leader of the Sword Sect, a genius swordsman, is just a false name, I ...... now Nothing more than a sinner. β
Hear such an answer. Irelia was also speechless for a moment.
The room fell silent again, and only the long night passed.
Just as the whole room was about to fall asleep, the jug of wine finally hit the lid, and it was all right.
"Drinking?" Yasuo stretched out a hand to take the wine from the stove and said with a smile, "It is a great blessing in life to have a pot of warm wine to drink on such a long rainy night. β
As he spoke, he turned around with the flask in his hand. He took three wine cups and began to pour the wine.
Wine splashes out of the earthenware jug and hits the simple wine cup. It has a light and clear aroma.
It smells warm.
"Good wine." Chen Senran sniffed and praised.
"It's a good wine." Yasuo nodded and pushed a glass of wine in front of Chen Senran, his simple and plain movements were inexplicably full of rhythmic beauty, "This is the wine I brought out from my hometown, the foundation made of new rice that year, and the oars made by the girl's slender hands." The water of the cold spring, as if I can drink the taste of my hometown in every sip, I have been away from home for more than ten years, and now, it is just such a pot of collection. β
"It's a blessing." Chen Senran picked up the glass of wine. The temperature of the freshly warmed liquor is transmitted to the skin through the ceramic glass, and it is very gentle and warm.
Chen Senran put it to his lips, and did not drink it in one gulp, but tasted it one by one, as if he was really feeling what Yasuo said, his hometown with beautiful girls and cold springs in Ionia.
"The ...... back then" Irelia also picked up a glass of wine, put it to her lips and did not drink it, but held it in her hand, and stopped talking.
"Back then......" Yasuo snorted coldly, his slightly narrow eyes squinting at Irelia, "I left my post without permission and caused the elder to be killed, it was my fault, it was my arrogance, why, you also want to come to me to settle this old account?" β
Yasuo was in the world, how vicious her eyes were, how could she not see that Irelia's outfit was very Ionian-style, and the sword in her hand was the sword that was once famous throughout Ionia, and he had touched it with his own hands.
"Don't dare." Irelia shook her head and said, "I can't either, it's your Sword Sect's own business, it's just ...... I've always wanted to ask, how ...... you were back then?"
"Did I kill him back then?" Yasuo squinted his eyes and the corners of his mouth pulled out a sharp arc, "Even if I say no, what if you ask me like this, isn't it because you think in your heart that I killed the Elder, and all the people in Ionia think that I killed him, so what's the use of me saying more?" β
Chen Senran had already roughly understood when he heard this, Yasuo was a genius swordsman in Ionia in the past, and he was extremely graceful, but unfortunately he later left his post without permission, resulting in the killing of the elder he guarded, and he was determined to be the murderer of the elder, so he was forced to leave the country.
From a generation of heavenly pride to a criminal in exile.
It's a poor man.
"You don't have to pity me." Yasuo took a sip of wine and looked at the regretful look on Chen Senran's face, and sneered, "I, Yasuo, dominate the world with a sword alone, how chic and happy, I never need to be pitied by others, you still worry about yourself." β
"Myself?" Chen Senran also knew that he was rude, a lonely swordsman like Yasuo, the most unsightly thing to fear was the charity of others, whether it was feelings or things.
But Yasuo said he had to worry about ......
"I have long known your ability, which is nothing more than mastering a little bit of the surface of the Wuji Dao." Yasuo talked about Chen Senran's strength, and his tone was full of disdain, "And that werewolf, I think it should be that Warwick, although he was born as an alchemist, but after being cursed, in addition to turning into a beast, his physical fitness has also been greatly improved, his strength, I may need three swords, let alone you." β
Chen Senran didn't care about Yasuo's arrogant attitude, because Yasuo had arrogant capital, and his powerful swordsmanship was really impressive.
But those who have great skills should always be proud.
"What do you mean......" Chen Senran frowned slightly, he vaguely guessed something, and his head ached faintly.
"You can kill him entirely because your body has inexplicably burst out of energy, and it is that energy that has alarmed me, that energy is really amazing, I vaguely ......" Yasuo paused at this point, as if there was something taboo, and then said, "Don't think that having this energy is a good thing, it means that you may be affected by that unknown and uncontrollable force at any time, and finally die inexplicably." β
"Uncontrollable ...... Energy? Chen Senran's head hurt even more, as he subconsciously sensed the blockages around his eyes.
Could it be them?
"yes, so you'd better figure out what the hell that is going to be sooner rather than later, so you don't die casually." Yasuo said to Chen Senran very unceremoniously.
ββ¦β¦ Xie Lu Xie. Chen Senran knew that the other party was for his own good, and he was not angry.
"Don't get me wrong, I'm just worried that you'll die too soon, and I won't be able to confirm what I've learned." Yasuo waved his hand impatiently and poured himself another glass of wine, "Okay, it's not early, the rain outside has stopped, you guys go quickly, I'm going to sleep." β
The rain outside really stopped.
The sound of the rain was no longer audible.
Only the remaining rain fell on the ground occasionally.
"Then ......" Chen Senran didn't force him to stay, got up and pulled up Irelia on the side, bowed to Yasuo and said, "No matter what, tonight, thank you very much." β
"Let's go, let's go, I'm not very familiar with you." Yasuo didn't appreciate it.
"Farewell." Chen Senran pulled Irelia out the door.
"Remember to close the door."
"It's good." Irelia helps close the door.
As the door closed, Irelia found that Yasuo had turned his back again, and the samurai's body was still straight and proud.
It's also lonely.
ββββββββββ
When I returned to the reception center, there was already a mess of porridge.
The werewolf's body had been found, but Chen Senran and the others were nowhere to be found, which burned the hearts of everyone in the guns guarding Irelia and the third team of roses.
If something really happened to Irelia, then none of them would have to live.
So when the people who stayed behind saw Irelia helping Chen Senran, who was covered in blood, out of the rainy night, everyone almost cheered.
"My lord, you're all right, are you?" Balzac walked up briskly and asked, the calm man's words could not hide his relief.
"It's okay, it's a minor injury, the important thing is that Miss Irelia is okay." Chen Senran coughed and gently pushed away the female warrior who was holding him, "Tell the other brothers to call it a day, tonight, I'm tired enough." β
"Yes, my lord, and besides, you'd better go to the Self-Management Center building, there are people waiting for you." Balzac said and turned back to greet his men.
"Irelia, it's not early, go back and go to bed early." Chen Senran took a step back, "I'll go first." β
"Well......" Irelia stopped talking, she looked at the scarred man in front of her, and couldn't help but think of the scene lying in his arms before, and her face couldn't help but turn red.
His ......
"Gone." Chen Senran turned around and walked into the darkness.
"Be careful."
"I will." (To be continued......)
