Chapter Twenty-Nine: Sudden Changes
Pacing in the sparsely populated alley, Xie Lingxu rarely enjoyed a comfortable time alone, just a little dazzling sunlight has disappeared, the blue sky has been dark clouds at this time, the breeze with tepid and chilling, just the right coolness, walking on the street is a good choice to relax, if you can put on headphones and listen to a tune at this time, then I am afraid that it is now so long here, Xie Lingxu's best thoughts.
However, I couldn't hear the moving tune, and I skimmed through a narrow alley, and the BGM was replaced by a scream.
"Ah...... Help......, help......"
A poignant female voice instantly broke Lingxu's rare good interest.
Xie Lingxu was not very interested, flashed around and looked, and saw a young girl crying under the push of a man.
"Don't ...... Don't ......, come on...... Help......"
The man's hand tugging did not stop at all, and he said, "Shout something!" What do you shout! Can anyone hear you shouting with these horns? ”
Xie Lingxu just wanted to step away, but when he heard the words, he crossed his waist and thought: What's the matter, labor and management are not people! So I walked straight to the two people in front of me who you pulled me to hide.
Xie Lingxu held the short sword and stood straight, "What are you doing!" ”
The man raised his eyes and saw a person in front of him wearing the uniform of the Underworld Army, and he couldn't help but tremble all over, and when he fixed his eyes, he saw that it was just a woman, and he became wanton again
"Go, go, didn't you see grandpa catching women, don't you be nosy, or I'll catch you together!"
Xie Lingxu lifted his body, the corners of his lips hooked a playful smile, and he didn't talk nonsense with him, raised his feet and ran towards the man. Seeing that the person who came was not good, but he did not take a woman to heart, he immediately let go of the crying woman in his hand and leaned forward
"I said, are you full...... Poof......"
Xie Lingxu directly kicked the latter in the chest, thinking how could there be such a stupid person.
"You...... You're really hands-on, damn it...... I wanted to spare your life, but it seems that grandpa won't clean it up today......"
Xie Lingxu moved forward and hit him in the lower abdomen with another punch, and said with a cold expression, "There are so many words." ”
The man covered his painful lower abdomen, and said a cruel sentence, "Lao Tzu hacked you to death...... and then pulled out the long knife on his waist and rushed straight towards Xie Lingxu.
The sharp long knife was still half a foot away from him, Xie Lingxu gently turned to one side to avoid the attack of his predecessors, and turned over and simply took the short sword out of the sheath, and effortlessly took another knife from the horizontal split, and then Xie Lingxu's wrist was weak and immediately turned sideways, and pushed him forward with the force of the predecessor's slashing at him, and the man really fell and ate.
Xie Lingxu didn't drag his feet, turned the short sword in his hand, pressed it against the back of the man's neck, and said in a mocking tone, "Are you dancing on the radio, and your movements are so slow!" ”
Seeing that his life was in danger, the man immediately finished cooking, and slowly moved his neck in the opposite direction of Xie Lingxu's short sword, but if he moved an inch, the short sword pressed an inch
"Be honest, don't mess with me!" Xie Lingxu's face darkened, and his cold gaze was really frightening.
The man, possibly surrendering to his experience, suddenly dropped his long knife and raised his hand above his head
"Master Jun, no, no...... Woman, spare your life...... Spare your life. I...... My hands are cheap, my mouth is cheap, and there are a lot of heroines, so I ...... Just let me go, little minion, Qian...... Don't kill me! ”
Hearing that Xie Lingxu didn't answer, the man thought that she was determined to start, and hurriedly shouted loudly
"Ah...... You spare me, I am old and young, I have a bad wife at home, and there are four or five aunts and wives in the back room, they can't live without me, they can't live......"
Xie Lingxu didn't bother to scold him, turned his head and saw that the woman who was screaming for help just now was staring at him intently, thinking that it was really not a big deal to watch the excitement
"Hey, what are you looking at, run."
The woman seemed to react suddenly, let out an "oh", and ran away with the corner of her skirt.
The man kneeling on the ground said in a somewhat aggrieved and pleading tone, "Woman, you see that you came to save people, and this person is also gone, just let me go." ”
Xie Lingxu sneered, "Who said that I was here to save people, why should I save someone I don't know!"
“……”
"And who are you?"
"I'm here to get you!"
“……”
Xie Lingxu withdrew his short sword, crossed his arms and said, "You, you're from the Dragon Brake Gang, right?" ”
"Huh...... yes, yes, how do you know? ”
"In broad daylight, who else can rob the people's daughters except for you dragon brakes helping the head snakes of the land? Besides, I'm not blind, I can't see the word 'dragon' on the back of your uniform! ”
"A woman has good eyesight, good eyesight. What does the woman want to do, the woman shouldn't have a grudge against the Dragon Brake Gang, in fact, I'm not good at mixing on the road, it's just a dozen, don't kill people and don't set fires, the most honest friend. ”
"And what were you doing?"
"Oops...... This, I don't want to, who asked us to help the master to be a good woman, I can't look for his old man to take back, it's not easy to live, I can't help myself. ”
"How long have you been doing this?"
"The little brother just came to the Dragon Brake Gang not long ago, and he ...... I haven't done a few things, but my eyesight is very good, the quality of my handling is quite high, and the helper promotes me quickly. ”
"Alright, get out!" Xie Lingxu turned his back on his hand with an indifferent expression.
"Huh? That's ...... Let me go? The man pointed at himself with a look of disbelief.
"Why, you're not happy? Look for death! ”
"No, the heroine is good at kung fu, and the little brother admires the five bodies to the ground."
"Alright, get out!"
"Dare to ask the woman's name?"
"Roll !!" Xie Lingxu drew his sword, and the man hurriedly slipped away.
With a soft sigh, Xie Lingxu kicked away the gravel in front of him, and his expression darkened.
In the Trench Palace, the Underworld Army was practicing its sword in full swing. Recently, everyone has been extremely focused and engaged, although the current climate is not hot, and even a little cool, but the Underworld Army is all soaked with sweat rolling down their heads, and Xie Lingxu faintly feels a sense of oppression that a big war is coming.
For a rookie like Xie Lingxu, if he doesn't practice swords for just a few days, the gap between them is enough to make the little feel and experience that he has finally saved up almost disappear, and when he shot just now, he noticed that his technique was a lot unfamiliar, but fortunately he met a rookie among rookies, and it was okay to put him down. But if you really want to step on the battlefield like these battle-hardened underworld troops, I'm afraid that your fire is not a little bit worse.
At the dinner table, Xie Lingxu was holding the dishes while asking Chu Xiu, who was gobbling up on the side: "When will this battle be fought?" ”
"Ah......" Chu Xiu wrapped food in his mouth and raised his eyes to look at Xie Lingxu.
"Oh...... It can be at any time, it depends on when the grandsons in Northern Xinjiang will do it. ”
"Hmm......" Xie Lingxu casually sandwiched a piece of beef and stuffed it into his mouth.
Chu Xiu saw her look strange, and even patted Xie Lingxu's shoulder, "It's okay, isn't it just a battle, it's all commonplace, the barbarians in Northern Xinjiang can't afford to turn up any clouds and rain, you can wait for our good news here with peace of mind!" ”
"What! Won't I go with you? Xie Lingxu's eyes widened.
Chu Xiu's hand resting on her shoulder was so frightened that it bounced back, "Yes...... Yes, how dangerous it is on the battlefield, how can a little girl go to such a dangerous place? ”
Xiao Qixin interjected and said, "Injuries from grinding skin and wiping your face abound on the battlefield, you see that my broken eyebrows were accidentally cut by someone, although it still looks quite tasteful, but in the future, you can only take the road of a tough guy, this elegant scholar can't pretend." Xiao Xie you are the only flower of our Underworld Army, I can't let you get into danger. ”
Xie Lingxu didn't speak, took a sip of rice soup, and wondered if he was a little useless.
Zhao Luo said quite uncomfortably: "Miss Xie, a delicate little girl from a small family of jasper, should find a personable son to marry earlier." ”
Small jasper? A beautiful little girl?
"And then ah, ......, another man and half woman, have nothing to sew clothes for her husband and children, and talk to her mother-in-law about homely ......"
"Bang......" Xie Lingxu put aside the soup bowl in his hand, stood up and said lightly: "I went to practice swords." Then he walked away without squinting, leaving a group of people staring at Zhao Luo speechlessly.
Zhao Luo put the chopsticks down, and said in hindsight: "What's the matter, did I say something wrong?" Eh...... I think my words are very reasonable, my sister got married at the age of sixteen, although the in-laws are not very rich, but the small life is still peaceful, it is better than the days when we lick blood on the knife edge! ”
Xiao Qixin sandwiched a peanut and threw it into Zhao Luo's brain, "I said...... Lao Zhao...... Do you think Xie Lingxu seems to be a person who is willing to live a small life? If you can't speak, shut up, and make our little flower angry, you go and persuade you......"
Yuan Shaocheng, as a benevolent by nature, and a little old and old, hurriedly said in a round game: "Hey...... Lao Zhao is also straightforward, Qixin, don't worry about him. ”
However, Yuan Shaocheng, who is a little older and has experienced some vicissitudes, still agrees with Zhao Luo's words, and said casually: "But what Lao Zhao said is not bad, Miss Xie looks like she is also in her early twenties, if she doesn't get married quickly, is it a waste of time with our group of swords?" ”
Xiao Qixin shook his head and sighed, "I said you...... Why is it so pedantic. ”
Xie Lingxu, who had been practicing swords from afar, was completely ignorant of the controversy at the dinner table, and was full of thoughts about how to strike faster and drop the sword more powerfully. I feel that if you want to improve your swordsmanship qualitatively, it is far from enough to use this kind of short sword to practice the basics, and it is time to change to a higher-quality weapon.
Just thinking about it, suddenly a bright lightning bolt pierced the sky, and then a dull thunder followed, Xie Lingxu looked up at the sudden change in wind and clouds, and his heart sank.
A sultry air flow hit, and the thought of practicing the sword was thrown behind in an instant, and I inexplicably remembered what Wu Laosi said, and thought that the place with the most books in the palace was the Floating Dream Pavilion behind him. Xie Lingxu turned around and saw that the plain white King Youwang was standing in front of the Floating Dream Pavilion, paused for a moment and then turned around and left, just wanted to draw some thoughts to figure out what he was doing, a drop of rain with a little temperature dripped on the bridge of his nose, and with a slight "tick" sound, it immediately splashed into scattered droplets.
Xie Lingxu looked up at the sky, and a succession of raindrops crossed the slender and long rain line in the air, and suddenly turned into a torrential rain, leaving no room for reverie.
The electricity in the air was like a fire snake, Xie Lingxu stepped on the sound of "popping" water and ran to the eaves, thinking: The sky has changed, and it is actually ...... So fast!
