Chapter 958: Upper Mountains
Xie Yu watched the movements of several people, and did not stop him at the moment, but turned sideways slightly and gave up his position. He gently flicked the sisal grass with the torch in his hand, and found that they would not ignite, so he relieved himself and said softly: "These sisal grasses are not flammable when exposed to fire, and you can use the torch to block them, so that you can better see the road ahead." ”
Several guards with torches listened to this, and raised the torches in their hands one after another, and went to remove the sisal grass, which was extremely hard, although it was not so easy to burn, but it seemed to be alive, and after the fire came into contact, they actually shrank to the side and let go a little.
Several people couldn't help but be taken aback when they looked at the posture of sisal grass, and turned to look at Xie Yu.
"Master Xie, this sisal grass seems to be afraid of fire!"
It was as if they had discovered a new continent, and their excitement could not be concealed in their low voices.
Xie Yu still had a shallow smile on the corner of his mouth, he nodded lightly, and said: "Although this sisal grass is extremely sharp, it is grass after all, and it is reasonable to be afraid of fire, but no one has ever tried to do so, so I didn't notice it." In this way, it is also convenient for us to go up the mountain. ”
Seeing this, several other guards with torches also stepped forward and moved their torches towards the sisal grass. Sure enough, within a moment, the sisal grasses that had been standing in place like guardians all softened and fell around, trying to dodge the attack of the flames.
With almost no effort, a group of people had already made a piece of sisal grass in front of them take the initiative to get out of the way. They slowly walked forward with torches, smoking sisal grass all the way, and everywhere they went, the sisal grass "gave way" to let these people into it.
The rest of the guards stayed where they were, ready to answer.
After walking a few meters, the guards finally saw a road in front of them, although the road was not very wide, but it was clearly visible, and the soil under their feet was a solid pile, and the previous rain did not seem to have any effect on it, unlike the swamp just now.
And the path winds and winds and winds upwards, leaving nothing around. But this is about the way the hunter goes up the mountain on weekdays.
Several people looked at the narrow path, but instead of being disappointed, their eyes lit up.
"Gongzi Xie, we found it."
"Next, we're going straight up the mountain?"
The guards who walked in front all turned around, as if inviting merit, and shouted at Xie Yu in a low voice.
Even though the sound was very small, Xie Yu still felt their happiness.
The man who was leading behind Xie Yu heard the voice of his subordinate, and there was no expression on his face. If it were normal times, the person who reported to his subordinates should be him, but now standing in front of everyone is precisely the son Xie who he has admired for so long.
Therefore, for this kind of thing, the man doesn't care at all.
As long as you can find the way up the mountain, that's enough.
Xie Yu nodded, turned his head to look at the man behind him, and said softly: "This big brother, you have always ordered you to do it on weekdays, and now please arrange for you to go up the mountain." ”
When the man heard what Xie Yu said, he couldn't help but be stunned.
When the surrounding guards heard what Xie Yu said, and then looked at the appearance of their own boss, they all felt that it was because of Xie Gongzi's feelings of taking care of the boss like this, and the boss had not reacted yet, so he probably felt very moved.
Not only the boss, but they also felt that Gongzi Xie deserved to be Gongzi Xie, as rumored, gentle and graceful. If you were another man, I would like to call them these guards from the Li Mansion, after all, some people's superiority comes from here.
But Gongzi Xie would never do such a thing, although even if he gave orders, they would definitely obey, after all, the master had also commanded. But Xie Yu didn't do this, he respected their boss very much, and this alone made people feel even more admired.
The boss must be thinking the same way at this moment, right?
Everyone looked at the man in the middle.
The man was stunned for a while, and there was really a touch of emotion on his face, but he spit out such a sentence in his mouth.
"Gongzi Xie, you, you actually call me eldest brother, how embarrassing is this? I really don't dare to be in the next! ”
Surrounding Guards: ......
Sure enough, their boss never took the usual route. Yes, he admires and respects Gongzi Xie so much, where does he care about these trivial things? For him, I'm afraid that Gongzi Xie's title is the most surprising thing for him......
After all, their boss said that he didn't dare to take it, but the emotion and surprise on his face couldn't be concealed at all.
Well, their boss has never changed his face before, and he has never shown his inner emotions on his face, and now the boss, they really don't want to say it......
Why did they feel a little ...... at this time? What about shame?
The guards looked away, not daring to look at their boss. If such an expression is known to other people in the house, I really don't know what they will think in their hearts. Their domineering boss is now like a little pug, this contrast is too great!
If it weren't for Gongzi Xie, I'm afraid they wouldn't have seen this scene.
Xie Yu was quiet for a while, and only after a while did he speak: "The eldest brother looks older than Xie, and he must be respected in the Li Mansion, so there is nothing wrong with Xie calling the eldest brother." ”
Oh, Gongzi Xie calls their boss the eldest brother, just because their boss is old, so it doesn't seem to be wrong.
The guards accepted this reason. But their boss seems to be still immersed in shock.
"How dare you be older than Gongzi Xie in Xia, no, phew, look at this mouth. It means that compared to Gongzi Xie, the so-called respect in the next is not worth mentioning at all! ”
The man was a little excited, and his voice was raised a point.
The guards next to him: ...... Boss, don't say any more, we really feel so ashamed!
If this continues, how will Gongzi Xie think of their boss? Their boss isn't usually like this!
Fortunately, as a personable Mr. Xie, he never showed a different expression because of these things.
His face still has a gentle smile on his face, and a voice like a spring breeze.
"Big brother doesn't have to excuse himself, it's just a trivial matter, nothing to worry about. The top priority is to find Miss Li as soon as possible. Why don't we go up the mountain now? ”
Xie Yu said as he stretched out his slender finger and pointed to the road ahead, reminding the man what they needed to do at the moment.
Hearing Xie Yu mention his eldest lady, the man suddenly came back to his senses, quickly nodded, took a few steps forward, no longer twisted, coughed, and said, "Since this is the case, let's go up the mountain." Li Yuan, you take a few brothers to go up first, me and Gongzi Xie are in the middle, and the others are behind. ”
When the guards heard what the man said, they all straightened up, stood in their positions, raised their torches, and answered.
The man, who was called Li Yuan by the man, took a few steps forward and took the lead in raising the torch and walking forward.
A group of guards followed behind Li Yuan in an orderly manner, and everyone took steps forward, one by one up the mountain.
The road was so narrow that only one person could pass through it, and because they were tall and had torches in their hands, they had to follow one by one and walk slowly up the hill.
But it didn't take long for Xie Yu to suggest that the guards behind him extinguish the torches in their hands and light them again when necessary. As long as the person standing at the front was holding a torch and was not in any danger, that was enough.
For others, there is no need to be so public.
The man obviously also realized that it was very unwise to hold so many torches in his hands in this dark green mountain. But just now, he almost missed this point, but fortunately Xie Yu mentioned it.
The guards behind extinguished the torches in their hands one after another. A small road that was originally bright now only relied on the torch in Li Yuan's hand, emitting a faint light.
But the men present were all well-trained guards, all armed with martial arts, and even in the dark, they were able to move forward steadily. Their eyes are bright, their pace is firm, their internal strength is increased, and the speed of their ascent to the mountain is not slow.
What surprised everyone a little was that Xie Yu, who had been going up the mountain with them in the middle, had not changed in the slightest step after a period of time, and there was no sign of fatigue on his face.
You must know that the path they went up the mountain was originally narrow, and the further they went to the back, the steeper it became, and if there was no internal force, it would be impossible to go up the mountain smoothly. What's more, this Gongzi Xie looks like a weak scholar, but he didn't expect his physical strength to be so good.
It's better to say that they didn't expect that Gongzi Xie also had martial arts.
If you don't practice martial arts, no matter how good your physical strength is, I'm afraid you won't be able to hold it at this time.
After about an hour, some guards couldn't help but stretch out their hands to wipe the sweat on their foreheads, and then looked at Xie Yu who was following behind, still walking steadily, without the slightest sign of sweating on their foreheads, even as when they first met, they were neatly dressed, without any traces of messiness, and their faces were calm.
If they didn't know that it took a lot of strength to climb the mountain, those who didn't know would probably think that Gongzi Xie was taking a walk! However, Xie Gongzi did take this mountain climb out of a leisurely feeling of walking.
If you were someone else, you wouldn't be able to do it at all.
From beginning to end, Xie Yu didn't say a single word of complaint, plus his physical strength was so good.
The man, including the guards present, all secretly gave Xie Yu a thumbs up in his heart.
This Gongzi Xie not only has a good background, a good temper, but also has such good martial arts.
If they were women, I am afraid they would also be willing to marry a man like Gongzi Xie.
But if they are women...... I'm afraid that Gongzi Xie won't like it either.
A group of people had different thoughts, and after a while, a fork finally appeared in front of them.
