CHAPTER XVIII
Ren Qingmei smiled: "The hall master is wrong with this. Everyone is in a gang, as long as they don't have different intentions, they are naturally brothers and sisters. When dealing with brave and loyal people, the helper will only lead by example and treat each other more kindly, so how can he blame you? β
Xue Yang coughed lightly: "Ren Tianwang is really worthy of being a virtuous helper of the helper, he always speaks and does things in a thoughtful manner, without missing a trace." Xue had the courage to ask, at the hero's banquet the day before yesterday, when the gang leader reprimanded Bi Ling's news for leaking Yanjin, why didn't he see Ren Tianwang treating Xue as a brother and standing up to say a few words for Xue? β
Ren Qingmei chuckled: "They are all brothers and sisters in the gang, how can they ignore friendship?" But if you only care about friendship in the main matter, it is no different from covering up by a private party. We are the kings, and we should be upright and set an example. Although there is no doubt about Xue Tianwang's loyalty, his subordinates are mixed, and it is inevitable that some fanatics and villains will be bought by Yan Jin. If it weren't for the leakage of news through some channels in Cloud City, how could they bring people to appear in the Zhaoyin Realm? The border defense was not strong, so that Yang Tianwang was in danger alone, and even more caused my Zhaoyin people to be slaughtered. This Chang girl, who ran for election, is the orphan I brought back from Nianfei Village. Bi Ling still doesn't know her whereabouts, and she has to take hundreds of innocent lives, although I am willing to intercede for Xue Tianwang, but who will comfort Miss Chang's sin? β
When Xue Yue heard this, he was about to speak, but was stopped by Xue Yang at a glance. Xue Yang snorted: "If Yang Tianwang didn't care about beauty and was greedy for fun, with his kung fu, how could he be tracked down by the Heavenly Ninja Sect and not know at all?" I'm stationed in Cloud City to defend the border city defense line, and it is indeed my job to defend Yan Jin, but the whole gang knows that the defense line of Cloud City is dealing with the Yan Jin army, not the stealth secret group. That Wan Yan Xuan only brought a dozen entourages, disguised from the path, and the group was all masters, which was difficult to detect. However, the master of the forward hall of Cloud City, Cheng Kong, still discovered the mistake in time and took the initiative to send troops to intercept it. The martial arts of the end of the face are similar to those of my generation, and the Heavenly King still has no chance of victory, so how can ordinary disciples ensure that they can successfully resist? Recently, the scouts of Cloudsdale City have obtained a letter from the Heavenly Ninja Sect, which was sent by someone who has rebelled within Zhaoyin, and I have submitted it to the gang leader. If you have a fault, you have to ask the helper to make a decision again. β
Ren Qingmei stroked his palm and smiled lightly: "It seems that Xue Tianwang is going to make a great contribution, and the little sister is here to congratulate him in advance." Xue Tianwang made meritorious contributions, and Xiao Yang's face was also glorious, and I, who called myself a sister, were naturally happy for him. β
Yang Yizhao really didn't want to listen to the dispute between the two, so he said: "Today is a good day to choose a close attendant, why bother with other trivial matters." Seeing that the time has come, why haven't the helper and Ren Zuo's envoy come yet? β
Gao Lan smiled evilly: "This is for King Ren." The actions of the husband and brother-in-law are naturally best known to the owner's wife. β
Ren Qingmei frowned, a trace of coldness flashed in his eyes, and then he smiled: "The whereabouts of the helper, I, as a subordinate, dare not ask." But Qingquan will arrive in a while. Choosing close servants has always been the job of the Four Heavenly Kings, and they don't have to be pushed all to Qingquan's side. Don't wait for him, let's get started. β
Xue Yang snorted: "That's how it should be." Let's go. β
Gao Yunrong nodded, clapped her hands gently, and seven beautiful women with different styles rushed in, standing behind Gao Yunrong. Du Juan'er's face darkened, but she did not enter the team, but continued to stand side by side with Gao Yunrong.
Xiao Yezi sighed in his heart. Seeing that these four factions already have their own opinions, coupled with the previous grievances between the Luo sisters and Li Mei'er, the four heavenly kings will inevitably fight. It's definitely not going to be a good day.
I only listened to Ren Qingmei and said slowly: "This first level is to try talent." As a powerful minister, the helper has many high-ranking magnates or literati, and you also need to have a skill as a close servant in order to better assist the helper in integrating resources and dealing with interpersonal relationships. β
Du Juan was just about to answer, but Gao Yunrong glanced at her and grabbed the conversation: "If you don't have the slightest skills, and you just follow the rules and go through the back door, although we are just close servants, we can't tolerate them." β
Yang Yizhao continued: "What Gao Jinshou said is reasonable. Since he is here to run for election, he must naturally have his own merits in order to be selected. β
Du Juan knew that Yang Yizhao was protecting himself from the same branch, and gently accepted it from him to show his gratitude.
Gao Lan pouted: "Su Wenyue'er taught herself Dong Xiao a lot of achievements when she was a child, and today we have ears." But...... Xiao Xiao's homonym is not guilty of the name of the gang leader, and it is disrespectful. β
At this moment, Xue Yue showed a hint of a smile, but his proud posture did not decrease for half a point: "The high hall master praises it, and just look at it." β
Yang Yizhao didn't know why, and frowned. Gao Lan saw this action, and immediately smiled: "Why, even Yang Tianwang doesn't know about this surprise?" Today is truly a blessing. β
Xue Yue said with a cold face: "The hall master is thinking too much, beware of the eyes leaking out of his mouth." Come on, carry it up! β
At the sound of the order, the two heroes immediately carried an iron weapon into the hall. Everyone looked at it, but it was a guzheng made of fine iron. The shape of the zither is old, the black light is very inconspicuous, and only when the zither strings reflect the light, there is a faint blue light. The two heroes were burly, but the hand that lifted the kite trembled slightly, showing that the iron kite was very heavy.
Xue Yue waited for the hero to place the iron zither, sat down, took out a pair of gold armor from his arms, took his hands respectively, and gently flicked his left hand to try. Xue Yue smiled with satisfaction, and suddenly danced with long sleeves, and his body had already flown outside the hall door. The sunlight outside the hall shines down, reflecting the bright and bright Xue Yue's golden dress, and her delicate face is incomprehensible.
Yang Yizhao looked at Xue Yue, who was so bright and extraordinary, and couldn't help but show a hint of admiration in his eyes.
Xue Yue leaned over lightly and saluted, and his hands suddenly pushed forward! I saw that the golden light flashed in the hall for a moment, and the sound of the zither was a masterpiece, which was actually an ancient song "Chivalrous Travel". Everyone looked at it and saw Xue Yue standing dozens of feet away from the iron kite, with one hand up and down, left and right, like a pair of jade butterflies, circling and flying in front of him, and he actually performed a set of extremely fast palm techniques. What's even more bizarre is that I saw her hands fly left and right, and several golden dragons flew out of the palms of her hands. She urged the power of her palm, driving the golden dragon in her hand to peck the iron kite lightly from time to time, and the syllables played were distinct and not chaotic at all.
Only the Four Heavenly Kings could see that those golden rays of light came from the golden armor in Xue Yue's hand. Xue Yue played music by urging the armor mechanism with palm power, shooting out ten extremely thin and light gold wires, and using the subtle changes in finger power to pluck and hit the strings of the iron kite dozens of meters away, so as to play music. Listening to the sound of the zheng, sometimes high and sometimes low, sometimes fast and sometimes slow, Xue Yue did not mess up at all, stood still, let the sun blow, the breeze swinging her skirt, and played neatly. Suddenly, her arms trembled slightly, the sound of the zither turned into a fine and low voice, and suddenly her skirt danced wildly, and the sound of the zither suddenly rose and struck a high-pitched crit. Xiao Yezi had never seen such a form of performance, and he didn't dare to blink at the side, but just stared at it with wide eyes and admired, and he couldn't even close his mouth in surprise.
At the end of the song, Xue Yue struggled to pluck the strings of the zither, the sound of the zither became higher and higher, and the golden dragon danced more and more wildly. At this time, Xue Yue suddenly jumped up, like a cloud in the wind, fluttering to the welcoming wall in front of the main hall, kicked his right foot back over his head, leaned forward with his waist, stood on one foot, his posture was overbearing, and he shook back and forth on the wall by the wind, and the golden skirt on his body was agitated with the wind, and there was a golden disc to protect the body, and the sound of the zither was endless. Yang Yizhao's eyes were full of admiration at the moment, and Xiao Yezi couldn't help but applaud.
Everyone was still appreciating, but Gao Lan suddenly smiled: "Okay! Good! Miss Xue's whip kung fu is really good! His right hand suddenly raised, and with a snort, two silver lights shot out one after the other, hitting Xue Yue's eyebrows!
Yang Yizhao was shocked, and immediately jumped up and kicked a flying kick, intending to stop the hidden weapon! How do you know that the speed of this hidden weapon is too fast, he only knocked the back one away, but the front one still hit Xue Yue, the castration was fierce and violent, and the sound of breaking the sky directly suppressed the sound of the zheng!
Xue Yue saw that the hidden weapon was approaching, and he hurriedly puffed out the true qi in his chest, and sprayed a mouthful of true power towards the hidden weapon, trying to delay its momentum of breaking through the air. But Gao Lan's skill is indeed extraordinary, although Xue Yue used ten percent of his strength, he only blocked the silver light, and only slowed down the momentum, and still roared and shot extremely fast!
Xue Yue knew that it was the time of life and death, the silver teeth were clenched, the golden light flashed in her hand, and after playing the last few trebles, she immediately exerted force under her feet, and a somersault turned backwards, only to hear the sound of Zheng, the hidden weapon had hit Xue Yue, and her figure fell behind the welcoming wall, and there was no sound. Xue Yang immediately stood up and looked out of the hall, his expression extremely concerned. Except for Gao Lan, everyone didn't see Xue Yue make a sound at this moment, and they were all uneasy, thinking that Gao Lan's secret weapon was too strong, and Xue Yue would be seriously injured even if he didn't die. Yang Yizhao even rushed out of the door, and was about to chase after the welcoming wall to check Xue Yue's injury.
As soon as Yang Yizhao rushed out, a yellow figure flew up from behind the wall, like a yellow cloud, floating on the wall, his body was clean and neat, his face was cold and glamorous, his face was pale, his eyes were sharp, he was biting a stainless steel flying knife between his teeth, arrogant and indifferent to everyone, it was none other than Xue Yue!
Except for the four Heavenly Kings, everyone couldn't help but scream when they saw that Xue Yue was okay and took Gao Lan's flying knife. Xue Yang took a deep breath before sitting back in place. Yang Yizhao was pleasantly surprised, ran to the wall, and stretched out his hand to pick Xue Yue down. Xue Yue ignored him, jumped off the wall by himself, spit the flying knife on the ground, and glared at Gao Lan angrily. Yang Yizhao was bored, his face darkened, and his expression was quite lost. Ren Qingmei cheered: "Sure enough, the tiger girl is extraordinary!" β
Yang Yizhao saw that Xue Yue was fine, so he turned to Gao Lan and said angrily: "Hall Master, what do you mean by this!" β
Gao Lan only smiled lightly: "I'm just trying Yue'er's skills." The last few high notes, if it weren't for the urgency of life and death, where could they be played so heartily? Yang Tianwang, I'm helping her, can't you see it? Yue'er, Yue'er, your fiancΓ© is really good to you! β
Xue Yang said coldly: "Thank you for the mercy of the master of the high hall, and I didn't take the life of the little girl." β
Gao Lan said with a smile: "It's still clear to King Xue, if I want to do something bad, aren't I afraid that King Xue will punish me?" Ha ha! Ha ha! He rolled his eyes and landed on Xiao Yezi, "Miss Xue's kung fu is good, I don't know if Miss Ye can overshadow her?" β
Yang Yizhao smiled coldly: "It's Miss Chang." β
Gao Lan shook his hand, not caring indifferently: "It doesn't matter what the surname is." Let's put on a show. I'm still waiting to go back to approve official business. β
Hearing Gao Lan's sarcastic words, Xiao Yezi's originally competitive heart was quite unpleasant. Originally, Yang Yizhao asked her to perform the tea ceremony, but she had only studied for half a month, and she couldn't even get started, so how could she get it, let alone compare to Xue Yue. She wants to stay here, but she doesn't have the talent to do it, so I'm afraid she won't be able to pass the first level. This......
She looked at Yang Yizhao and sighed, a little discouraged. Yang Yizhao glanced at her, suggesting that she just went through the motions. While he was hesitating, a maid came in with a freshly lit incense burner to replace it. The cuckoo hurriedly stepped forward to take it and passed by Xiao Yezi. A faint fragrance penetrated into the nose of the little leaf, this fragrance was so familiar, so addictive...... Isn't this the taste of Yunxi?
As soon as she thought of Yunxi, the sound of the flute that night filled her heart.
She bit her lip and untied a Xiangfei bamboo flute from the back of her robe. When Yang Yizhao saw the flute at first glance, he was a little puzzled at first, but he suddenly remembered something, his eyebrows locked, and his face gradually became nervous.
Xiao Yezi put on a posture, closed his eyes, and silently thought in his heart: Yunxi, Yunxi, I really want to see you again, do you know?
When she moved, her breath had already surged to her lips, and she played a little song with reverence on her face. This is exactly the country tune she was familiar with when she was a child, and it is also the music that Yunxi performed in the bamboo forest for several nights.
The flute sounded leisurely, and her thoughts involuntarily dispersed with the dots of notes. Even the familiar scent seemed to come alive, sweeping her before she came to a sea of clouds. In the churning sea of clouds, a little starlight occasionally flashed and overflowed from the gap between the clouds, but it was quickly obscured by the cloud cover. She walked and groped in the sea of clouds with difficulty, her surroundings were gray, and she couldn't see the road ahead, so she could only chase the familiar smell all the way, stumbling and walking. As she walked, her shoes were wet, her skirt was wet, and the long skirt was like a shackle, dragging her and holding her back, getting heavier and heavier. She looked up at the sky and begged Heaven to give her some guidance. At this moment, a blur of light and shadow appeared in front of her. In the change of light and shadow, Yunxi was looking at her, smiling faintly. His smile was so sad and so gentle. She wanted to run in his direction, but no matter how hard she tried, there seemed to be an invisible wall between the two, and as she advanced, he retreated, as if to tease and refuse. She followed suit and chased until she was exhausted, and finally couldn't help but be aggrieved, and called out loudly: Please, Yunxi, please come over. But Yunxi is getting farther and farther away. She could no longer drag the heavy hem of her skirt, and fell to the ground, falling back into the endless gray waves. She couldn't bear the loneliness and helplessness, and finally fell to the ground and cried. When her eyes were hazy with tears, suddenly a pair of hands blindfolded her eyes. Those hands were so warm, so firm, so secure, she was not in a hurry to pull them down, and she didn't dare to look back. It seems that as soon as you turn around, the person behind you will fly away and disappear from there. The hands hugged him from behind and slowly flew into the air. She couldn't step on the ground, but she wasn't scared at all.
She enjoyed the warmth of protection until the man let go of her eyes. She never looked back, but when she opened her eyes, she saw Li Li with a strange face. The hand behind her pushed her in front of Li Li, and she heard Li Li whisper in a deep voice: "Chang Xiaobao, you are sick." I don't cry, what do you cry about. β
She was like being struck by lightning, and she woke up in an instant! The flute stopped abruptly.
