The next morning, Li Li was leaving. Xue Yue said: "Xue Yue has been repaid for saving his life. But my father once said that if you have kindness, you don't repay it. If it is convenient for Mr., Xue Yue implores Mr. to deign to sit with the Heavenly King, and allows Xue Yue to offer a glass of water and wine, showing a little heart. Although my father was hired by the imperial court and held the position of the king, his heart was in the rivers and lakes, and the most respected were the chivalrous heroes of all walks of life on the rivers and lakes. Mr. is righteous, and my father must hope to have a friendship with him. It's just that I don't know if Mr. is willing to move to the Tianwang Gang and let Xue Yue introduce Mr. ”

Li Li heard her self-report, and his heart suddenly moved, he was afraid that the Heavenly King Gang would be complicit, and he would not know the details, so it was inevitable that he might fall into the net. But seeing that her expression is sincere, it doesn't seem to be a fake. Maybe she didn't know that she was the target of Ren Qingmei's pursuit. She was hunted down and killed by such a powerful Yanjin people, and she was the daughter of the Northern Heavenly King, so her status in the gang must be quite high. I inadvertently saved her, wouldn't it be a good opportunity to break into the Heavenly King Gang? If the only daughter of the Northern Heavenly King does not know her relationship with the Heavenly King Gang, then it can also be speculated that the Northern Heavenly King and Ren Qingmei are not the same party. and Xue Yue all the way, which is also a deterrent to Ren Qingmei's party. And Xue Yue's martial arts are not as good as herself, if she wants to plot and be on guard, she may not be able to let her hurt herself. As a last resort, Xue Yue can also be a temporary shield. No matter how you calculate it, going to the Heavenly King Gang with Xue Yue will do more good than harm to yourself.

So what is there to refuse? Li Li immediately arched his hand and said: "The Heavenly King Gang is famous, and I have admired it for a long time. At this moment, I was kindly invited by the girl, and I didn't dare to refuse. Hard girl. ”

Xue Yue smiled and said, "Sir, don't worry too much, as long as Mr. is willing to go, Xue Yue will definitely accompany him." ”

During the days and nights with Xue Yue, the incursions of people from all walks of life were insulated.

It seems that the choice was the right one.

During this time, Li Li had a much easier time than before when he was alone day and night. With Xue Yue accompanied, whether it is a guest house or a street tip, there is no need to be restricted. Xue Yue also took good care of him, contrary to the initial impression of arrogance and indifference, and even quite kind. However, he still refused to let his guard down in his heart, and every time Xue Yue showed a little kindness, he stiffly pushed back. There were many times, and Xue Yue was not very pleasant, but he didn't say anything on his face, just accompanied him as always.

Tonight, Li Li somehow lost sleep, feeling melancholy alone in the guest room of the inn. What will it be like when you get to the Heavenly Kings? Not to mention anything else, although he is incognito, can he guarantee that Ren Qingmei will not notice his details? It can be hard. Fortunately, Xue Yue said that he would introduce himself to Cloud City, with Xue Yang's prestige, or he could temporarily cover himself from the wind and rain. He must find out the details of the rudder of the Heavenly King Gang, especially Ren Qingmei, in a short period of time, so that he can have a target and formulate his revenge plan. If you don't get to the Heavenly King Gang for a day, you can't predict the next step, so you will be anxious for an extra day.

Frustrated, he got up and climbed to the roof of the inn while no one was around. It was a starry night, and he lay down on the roof, staring at the stars in the sky, his heart flowing. Suddenly, I heard someone follow, and the footsteps were very familiar. I heard the man ask softly, "How does the gentleman sleep here, aren't you afraid of catching a cold?" ”

Li Li naturally knew that it was Xue Yue. However, at this time, he was very irritable, and he was not in the mood to be polite to her, and he did not get up, but said coldly: "Safe." ”

Xue Yue stood three feet away from him and smiled slightly: "Really? She looked up at the sky, "The stars are fine tonight." ”

After saying that, she suddenly lay down as well.

Li Li was stunned for a moment, tilted his head to look at her, but didn't say anything, just blushed.

The two of them lay side by side on the roof. Let the breeze blow on the hem of their garments and stir their green silk.

Xue Yue closed her eyes, took a deep breath, and slowly opened her limbs, as if she had entered a comfortable meditative state.

Li Li looked at her quietly, and suddenly felt stupid in comparison. He pulled the corners of his mouth self-deprecatingly, slowly opened his limbs, closed his eyes, and breathed deeply.

The clouds in the sky moved quietly, leaking thousands of starlight in the gaps between them, converging on the two of them, turning into thousands of hazy points of light.

For a long time, for a long time, Li Li only felt sleepy. Why did this make him so relaxed? He didn't know either. But he's really not had this sense of security for a long, long time. This kind of security is different from the carefree childhood, but a different kind of stability. This kind of stability came from Xue Yue's silent promise, which made him so immersed and convinced.

Suddenly, Xue Yue smiled.

Li Li woke up violently, and instantly crimson crawled all over his face, he only felt shameless, and a spirit crawled up, and threw down a sentence stiffly: "You play by yourself, I'll go to sleep." ”

Before he could speak, the man had already gone down to the roof. Xue Yue turned his head sideways and watched him flee a little embarrassed, and suddenly felt that this Mr. Yeli seemed to be less stiff and unbearable.

A few days later, the two arrived at a village on the shore of Dongting Lake. This village was specially set up for the disciples of Cloud City, and its appearance resembled that of a military camp. The headquarters of Cloudsdale is far away from the border between the two countries, and it will be stationed here if it is necessary to come to Lingyan to deal with affairs. This time, Xue Yang, the city lord of Cloud City, came to participate in the Heavenly King Gang Heroes Banquet, and he lived here during this time, and it was Xue Yue who brought Li Li here.

On the way here, Xue Yue wanted to talk to Li Li several times, but was always pushed back by his cold attitude. Seriously, there are a lot of strange people and strange things in the rivers and lakes, and Xue Yue has seen a lot, but the person who dares to throw her face like this has only met such a person so far. However, Xue Yue was used to his indifference at the moment, just because of the young man's youthful performance that night, she couldn't help but look at him differently, no matter how he put on a posture of rejection, she couldn't get angry, she only felt that the young man was old-fashioned and interesting.

The closer Li Li got to Xingzhuang, the more nervous and vigilant he became, and he couldn't help but clench the short sword in his hand. Although based on his observation along the way, this Xue Yue is not a cunning person, but his life is at stake, so he has to guard against it. He glanced at Xue Yue out of the corner of his eye, and wanted to observe her movements, but he couldn't help but be stunned at this glance. At this moment, Xue Yue reversed her kind attitude, she walked a few steps quickly, and she was already in front of him, her back was straight, her steps were steady, her figure was arrogant, and she turned back into the unattainable Lingxiao flower.

This...... Are there still two faces? Did you look away?

I saw Xue Yue striding to the door of Xingzhuang with a straight face. As soon as the yellow-clothed disciples of Xingzhuang saw Xue Yue, they immediately bowed down and saluted, their voices were uniform, loud as thunder, and Li Li was really shocked: "I've seen Hall Master Xue!" I've seen Mr. Yeli! Xue Yue accepted it calmly, only bowing slightly.

Li Li was even more stunned, she couldn't imagine that this Xue girl looked delicate, and she was actually a hall master? He couldn't have imagined that these disciples of Cloud City actually knew his name in advance, and respected themselves as much as they did for Xue Yue, and they didn't lose their manners at all just because they were newcomers. Let's see that although these disciples have different heights and short faces, they are all neat and tidy, their essence is restrained, and their actions are as neat as wind and thunder crossing the border, and they do not drag mud and water at all. It seems that this Cloud City is indeed the mainstay of the Zhaoyin army, as rumored to be.

But hearing Xue Yue said proudly: "Your guest has arrived, and you still haven't passed it on?" ”

The guards said in unison: "Heavenly King Xue has been waiting for the two of you for a long time!" I respectfully invite Mr. Yeli to the Juyi Tent to talk about it! ”

Xue Yue didn't praise either, and took Li Li into Xingzhuang by himself, and was greeted by the Juyi Tent. Li Li saw an old man striding out of his tent from a distance. The old man has gray hair, long braided hair, sword eyebrows like halberds, eyes like electricity, burly physique, body like a mountain, and his every move is fierce and heroic. He is wearing a tiger descending the mountain Shu brocade yellow flower robe, a golden snake fine lin chain mail on his chest, a waist buckle and a crocodile leather corset, and a Qilin Buyun bison patent leather boots.

As soon as Xue Yue saw the old man, he was immediately overjoyed, and his always cold face also added a little bit of the squeamishness of his little daughter: "Dad! ”

This old man is naturally Xue Yang, the king of the Northern Heavens. When Xue Yang saw his daughter, he was already overjoyed in his heart, but he just smiled and put all his eyes on Li Li. He took a step forward, pushed his hand and bowed deeply, and thanked him loudly: "Thank you Mr. Yeli for saving my little daughter, my Xue family has received this great favor, and I can't repay it." Busy with affairs, never far away, really disrespectful! ”

When Li Li saw such a majestic and bold man, he felt sincere admiration in his heart, and immediately returned the salute, and his tone was also very respectful: "King Xue doesn't have to be polite. Yeli just couldn't see the Yanjin people rampant in my Zhaoyin land, so he took the liberty to make a move. In fact, with Miss Xue's skills, taking care of the evil Kou was a trivial matter, and leaving at night was just helping. ”

Xue Yang laughed: "Why should you be too humble, sir!" Victory is victory, defeat is defeat, grace is grace, righteousness is righteousness! It is the luck of the little girl to have the help of Mr. Yeli. I have prepared a banquet to thank Mr., and please don't shirk, be sure to appreciate it! ”

Li Li smiled: "Even so, the night is disturbed." ”

The two helped each other into the Juyi tent, and Xue Yang immediately ordered a banquet. There are many meat dishes in the banquet, most of which are roast sheep and pigs, goose and duck in sauce. Xue Yang took out his portable saber and cut the meat for food. Li Li is also a wealthy child, although she is not usually dressed in fine clothes, she also pays attention to dining etiquette. Seeing that Xue Yang was not informal, and it was inconvenient for him to be too restrained, he also took the knife provided by the disciple in yellow and ate a few bites of the gourd, but felt that this was very refreshing.

At the climax of the banquet, Li Li raised the bronze wine lord in front of him and got up to toast: "Borrow flowers and offer Buddha, thank you Xue Tianwang for your hospitality." Although he was not good at drinking, he was infected by the arrogance of everyone in the banquet, and drank the wine in the cup with his neck raised. As soon as the wine entered his throat, the spicy taste almost made Li Li's face change. He used his true qi to make the wine intent flow along the internal force in his lower abdomen, and the wine intent was cut in half in an instant. Seeing Xue Yang looking at him, he seemed to be smiling, and he was also a little embarrassed, and said, "This wine is very strong, but it is suitable for the generous and sad people of Cloud City." ”

Xue Yang had already seen that he couldn't drink, but he was surprised by his extraordinary internal skills, and laughed: "Mr. Yeli is good at kung fu." I don't know what school I inherited? ”

Li Li didn't dare to say the name of the land enemy, but said: "It's not that Yeli deliberately concealed it, but there is something unspeakable." When my master was young, he was gullible and made a big mistake, so he hid his real name and surname, and even I didn't tell him. Just because of fate, the master passed on my martial arts before he died, and he left the west. Although he and I are masters and apprentices, we have only been together for a few tens of days, and I don't know each other very well. ”

Xue Yang was stunned for a moment, and then smiled: "This is a strange news." Since it's inconvenient to say, I won't go to the root of it. Since ancient times, heroes don't ask where they come from, and it's fate that I can meet Mr. Yeli. If Mr. Yeli does not dislike it, he will stay in my village for a few days, and there are many disciples under my disciples, all of whom admire Mr. Martial Arts and want to be closer to Mr. ”

This remark was in Li Li's arms, and he guessed that Xue Yang wanted to include himself under his command, but because of his identity, it was difficult to speak. He stood up immediately, bowed deeply, and said loudly, "Heavenly King Xue is polite." Yeli has always admired Xue Tianwang's loyalty to the country and his dedication to his duties. I also want to learn from Xue Tianwang and do my best for the great cause of resisting Yan. Now that I am fortunate to be able to meet Xue Tianwang himself, it is enough to leave the night as a wish. If King Xue does not dislike Ye Li, he is shallow in learning, and Ye Li is willing to follow the King of Heaven, but the King of Heaven is the first to look forward. ”

When Xue Yang heard this, he was satisfied, and laughed: "So good!" He picked up Li Li with both hands and said with a smile: "If Mr. Yeli comes to me, I will be like a right-hand man!" Turning his head and instructing Xue Yue, "Yue'er, pass the order, Mr. Feng Yeli will be the personal messenger of the Lord of Cloud City, and temporarily lead the liaison and urgent tasks of various affairs in Cloud City." Mr. Night is a newcomer, and he is a messenger for the time being, so that he can familiarize himself with the practice in the city. In time, I have my own important arrangements. ”

When Xue Yue heard that his father attached great importance to Li Li, he couldn't help but be happy for Li Li, so he smiled, grabbed Xue Yang's arm, and said coquettishly: "Dad, don't forget your daughter's merits." ”

Xue Yang rarely saw his daughter so happy, reached out and touched her hair, and said, "You have also contributed a lot to recommending talents." Didn't you always want the snow to be silent, and now it's yours. Then he ordered the snow to be taken from the heavens. Li Li is still wondering, what is the snow silence on this day? I saw the servant bring a quaint rectangular iron box. Xue Yue took the iron box and opened it, and the cold light shone brightly when he boarded. Xue Yue took out a pair of white straight-edged short knives from the iron box. Although these knives are knives, their appearance is quite similar to that of short swords, and they are a bit of the style of Dongying knives. Each knife is less than two feet long, and the handle of the blade is snow-white, and I don't know what kind of metal material it is made of, it can be like snow condensing into shape, pure and beautiful, but it is arrogant and indifferent, and no one should approach it.

Although Li Li was not close, he also felt a coldness shoot out from the blade, suddenly pressing towards him. This feeling is quite similar to when his purple green robbery was unsheathed. But compared to the gorgeous majesty of Ziqing Tribulation, he loved the appearance and temperament of this snowy day more.

Xue Yue played with the double knife repeatedly, very satisfied, and smiled happily: "Thank you, Dad!" ”

Immediately, Xue Yang drank with Li Li and others for a long time. Li Li was overwhelmed by the strength of the wine, so he quit the table. Xue Yue saw that he was a little drunk, and he couldn't bear it, so he volunteered to escort him to the guest room to rest. Xue Yang agreed, but when he looked at Xue Yue and Li Li's departure, his eyes suddenly sank slightly, and he thought a little in his heart.
