Chapter 13-3: The Soul of the Samurai
It's almost time to reach Si Na country, which is the last country Cai Xiao stayed in.
This country is called Wu Guo. As soon as you hear the name, you know that the status of Wu in these countries must be the status of Gao Gaowen in this country. The country is a neighbor of Si Na and many people in the city speak the language of Si Na country.
Cai learned after investigation that there is an open martial arts arena in this country. There are dealers in the arena where bets can be placed. Before a person who participates in a martial arts fight takes the stage, he must sign a contract of life and death.
In other words, the fight allows for the worst-case scenario of death, serious injury, disability, etc.
Cai Xiaoxiao also came to this country for the first time, and she didn't want to cause trouble, but she was actually targeted. This is just someone else, who let him rely on his natural beauty and swagger through the market!
As a special soldier, Cai Xiaoxiao has three years of undercover experience, and he can be regarded as a person who has walked through the ghost gate. These little tricks that are traditional, environmentally friendly, and lethal are small, Cai Xiaoxiao can be regarded as born with immunity.
Since someone sincerely wants to do the game, why don't Cai Xiaoxiao plan and explore the truth and reality. Maybe you can find a suitable person and save a lot of effort.
Cai Xiaoxiao deliberately walked into a relatively remote alley, and sure enough, they made a move.
After a few rounds, Cai Xiaoxiao basically figured out their routine. commented that they are three-legged cats, and in Cai Xiaoxiao's evaluation, it can be regarded as exalting them.
Cai Xiaoxiao pretended to be caught by them, "What are you doing?" Why do you want to arrest me, I have no grievances with you? β
"Arresting you doesn't necessarily have a grudge against you." One of them said.
Although Cai Xiaoxiao was captured, Cai Xiaoxiao felt that these people had no ill will towards her.
There weren't a lot of rude movements, and the rope that bound her was loose.
It may be good to help a lady, but if you tie it to Cai Xiaoxiao's hands, it will be useless.
Cai was taken into a carriage and taken to a very imposing mansion.
"My lord, we've already brought the people." It seems that one of the leaders in the kidnapping of Cai Xiaoxiao said.
"Good, good. Go down and get the money. β
Cai Xiao stood in the middle of them, a little confused, what was the situation.
"My beauty, I can be regarded as having found you. That day was simple in the city, and I will never forget you. It was a man about thirty years old. The face and body are a little rounded, and the oiliness on the face is almost enough to look in the mirror. This person's eyes have grown into a line, and with a somewhat fat face, the eyes appear even better. It is not an exaggeration to describe it as a thief's eyebrow.
It turned out that since Cai Xiaoxiao entered the city, he was taken by people.
There's no way, Cai Xiaoxiao has always been so swaggering. There is a saying: always walk by the river, and then do not lose your footing.
Cai Xiaoxiao did not speak, rather than speaking, listening is the best policy, in order to obtain as much information as possible.
"Beauty, there will be a fight in the martial arts arena later. You come with me to see it, I have a good show to watch today. The man said as he approached Cai Yue's side.
Cai Xiaoxiao was disgusted by instinct, and stepped back, "My lord, my whole body is dust. Can you wait for me to take a shower and change clothes, in the ......" Cai Xiaoxiao deliberately did not finish speaking, both compromise, and there was a hint of showing weakness in his eyes as if he was giving her some kind of confusion.
When a man encounters such a situation, he must agree, otherwise he will lose his grace. The man commanded his subordinates to serve them well.
These skills are not what Cai Xiaoxiao learned during his time in the special forces, and the special forces will only teach you how to become the skills of the masters. The skills that these women are born with are the flirtatious skills she learned in the criminal organization when she was undercover.
Cai followed the subordinates and prepared to take a bath and change clothes. Along the way, Cai Xiaoxiao observed very carefully, every flower, grass and tree in this mansion.
When passing by a courtyard, Cai Yu vaguely heard the sound of a woman crying.
The sound of the weeping, intermittent and faint.
It should be a young girl of 15 or 6 years old. Crisp and overwhelmed.
Cai Xiaoxiao was silent, still following behind the subordinates.
Entering the bathroom, Cai Xiaoxiao carefully observed the bathroom, and there was a window next to it.
The water in the wooden barrel was full, and Cai asked everyone to retreat, leaving them to guard outside.
Cai looked at it, gently pushed open the window, looked at it, and then gently put it down.
The terrain is not very suitable, and miracles are prone to leaks.
Cai Xiaoxiao is not a casual person, who will be in a strange place, undressing and bathing.
She rolled up her sleeves and slapped a few times in the water, making some bathing sounds from time to time. It gives the illusion of taking a bath.
Cai Xiaoxiao stayed inside all the time and didn't go out. Until the slave maid outside came from the urging voice, "Girl, you have washed up, the master asked you to Cui You." If you haven't finished washing, I'm afraid you'll miss the martial arts competition that you'll be waiting for. β
Cai Xiaoxiao is a human spirit, and he deliberately uses bathing to delay time. The man just said to wait for a while, and there is no specific time, so it is perfect to delay the time by bathing and changing clothes.
When Cai Xiaoxiao was in the special forces, he took a shower for five minutes. However, during the undercover period, he was taught that he would take a bath for less than 30 minutes, and not ask a woman to take a bath. Even if you finish washing and stand in it to shower, you have to drench it for more than half an hour, otherwise you are not allowed to come out. The longer you stay, the less you will be blamed, but the more feminine you are.
I didn't expect Cai Xiaoxiao to be able to use these skills. Although Cai Xiaoxiao is a little unsharpened, it is really easy to use. It's like a knife, whether it's good or bad depends on the person who uses it.
Cai changed his coat and put on the coat they had prepared for Cai Xiaoxiao.
The color of this dress is probably the most gaudy color Cai has ever seen.
Cai has no choice, wear it. No matter how gaudy and vulgar it is, it can't stop Cai Xiaobanhua's appearance.
This may be the benefit of natural beauty.
Cai Xiaoxiao arrived at the hall under the guidance of his subordinates.
"Beauty, let's hurry up, if it's too late, we'll miss today's show." The man said very greasy.
Cai Xiaoxiao made all kinds of excuses along the way, and all kinds of skin-to-skin contact with this person. These not only did not make him feel impatient, but made him like Cai Yu even more.
This kind of method of trying to capture the old people is also one of the skills that Cai Xiaoxiao learned when he was undercover.
When he arrived at the martial arts arena, the man took Cai Yu to a seat with very good vision and sat down.
After the game began, the man couldn't take his eyes off it, with a bad expression on his face, and looked at the competition in the middle of the martial arts arena.
At this time, Cai Xiao carefully observed the people present. Through the wearing of clothes, Cai Xiaoxiao probably knew that the people who could watch the game from this kind of seat were all people who were idle, did not do anything, and still controlled the country's finances and rights.
During the competition, Cai watched the competition while observing the greasy man's expression.
In the middle of the ring, a man was knocked to the ground, unable to fight back.
"This man is too unbeaten." Cai Xiaoxiao pretended to be very ignorant and said very uncut.
"Beauty, you don't understand this."
"What don't you understand, don't you understand this victory or defeat?"
The man turned his head excitedly and said to Cai Yu, "Do you know that this man who fell to the ground has always been the winner of this martial arts arena today, and there has been no defeat so far." Now it will end up like this, it's really feng shui in turn. β
The man's eyes betrayed him. Cai said very smartly, "This man can't have a 15 or 6-year-old sister." β
The man's face changed slightly, and he felt a sense of shock.
"Beauty, how do you know?"
"Just now, when I was passing by to take a bath and change clothes, I vaguely heard someone crying."
"I just can't get used to this person, and he looks like he's pretending to be righteous. Since he has reached the point of his opponent, he has to let his opponent live. Then you can only let him die. If it doesn't die, his sister does. β
"I don't believe it, it must be that man's sister is good-looking, and adults will be like this." Cai said pretending to be jealous, and his clothes were coquettish and pitiful
"Beauty, don't worry, I'm definitely not greedy for beauty."
When Cai heard these greasy words, he was about to vomit out the food he ate yesterday morning.
"I don't believe it." Cai Xiaoxiao still spoke in the same tone.
The man wanted to hold Cai Yue's hand and explain to Cai Yue, but Cai Xiaoxiao quickly retracted it.
Cai Xiaoxiao pretended to be angry, and said aggrievedly and coquettishly, "I don't believe it, you already have me, and there are other people in this courtyard." You'd better go find her to stay with you. β
"Don't be angry, beauty, I really didn't lie to you. How can you be sure that you will believe this official's words? The man was helpless, but he couldn't say clearly.
The woman's trick really works.
"I'm going to see her with my own eyes and see if she's better looking than me?"
"Beauty, let's go back and watch after the competition is over later, okay?"
"No, I'm going to watch it now."
The man had no choice but to take Cai Yu, but he was anxious to please Cai Yu, so he could only order his subordinates to bring the woman.
Fortunately, this man's house is not far from the arena. A stick of incense should be able to bring back to the martial arts arena.
When he went out to watch the fight, this person didn't have many entourages, just one person.
took this person away, and Cai Yuyu pretended to want to get close to him. Let the man mistakenly think that he is going to hug the beauty. Who knew that Cai was aware and took the opportunity to knock him out with his right hand.
After being knocked unconscious, Cai Xiaoxiao very simply put others aside.
Cai Xiao got up and took a look, the center of the martial arts arena. The man was already a little blurred of flesh and blood, and if he continued like this, he would definitely die.
Cai flew to the center of the martial arts arena with a light skill, and knocked his opponent to the ground in a few rounds. Then he picked up the man, and a light skill flew out of the fighting arena.
This light skill is a skill that Cai Xiaoxiao suddenly discovered after coming to Sina Country. In the past, you had to rely on tools to fly the cornices and walls, but now you can fly out of thin air.
It seems that coming to this space, Cai Xiao's special forces skills have also evolved.
The man who was rescued by Cai was a little unconscious, and with him like this, he must have difficulty moving. Cai Yu covered it up in a secluded alley. Then he guarded the road from the greasy man's house to the martial arts arena and hijacked the carriage carrying the crying woman in the courtyard.
Cai Yue lifted the curtain of the carriage, and sure enough, a 15 or 6-year-old girl was inside, "Don't be afraid, I'll take you to your brother." With that, he lowered the curtain and drove the carriage back to the secluded alley.
Cai helped the unconscious man into the carriage. The moment the man was put into the carriage, the young woman burst into tears, "Brother, how did you become like this." β
Cai Xiaoxiao didn't explain too much, just told her to be quiet, otherwise someone would find out.
Cai drove the carriage out of the city as fast as he could, into the woods.
Cai Xiaoxiao's blatant behavior in the martial arts arena will definitely cause a commotion in the arena.
As soon as those elm heads reacted slightly, instinctively would immediately lock down the city and search.
Cai Yuyu also took a fancy to this point, calculated the time, and went out of the city gate just before the city gate guards received the news of the closure.
Cai Yuxiao hurried overnight and arrived at the nearest city to the martial arts arena. I found a doctor in the city and treated the man. After reading it, the doctor gave him a simple treatment and bandage, and also prescribed medicine.
During this period, Cai asked the doctor about the nearest cotton wool processing workshop in the vicinity.
Cai Xiaoxiao trotted all the way and bought two beds of cotton wool and put them on the carriage. After the doctor left, Cai drove the carriage straight to Yezhou, the nearest border city of Si Na country.
The reason why Cai Xiaoxiao was so anxious was because he was afraid of being ordered to be wanted, and if he was wanted, it would be difficult to take them out of the city at that time.
"We don't want to bother the girl, so the girl should put us here." The injured man said while lying in the carriage.
"Less nonsense, I saved your life, and the ownership is now mine. Shut your mouth, if it's delayed, none of us will be able to leave. Little sister, take good care of your brother and let him talk less. β
The little girl nodded repeatedly, "Yes." Thank you sister for saving her life. β
After a few days of hurrying, Cai Xiaoxiao finally arrived in the territory of Sina Country, in the city of Yezhou.
Cai Xiao, who returned to Sina again, had an inexplicable sense of security and warmth.
Cai Xiaoxiao found an inn and invited a doctor to come to see a doctor.
After seeing it, the doctor said that the injured person was fine, but he could no longer travel long distances and needed to lie down and recuperate for half a month. The doctor prescribed the medicine, and the little sister took the medicine to the backyard to decoction.
The little sister came back with a decoction and fed the man.
The little sister knelt directly on the ground and kowtowed to Cai Yu, "Thank you, sister, for saving your life." I've been busy with my road for the past few days, and I haven't said thank you to my sister properly. β
Cai Xiaoxiao hurriedly helped her up, "Since you call me sister, it is naturally my duty to save you." β
"The girl saved us, I'm afraid she will cause death." The man lying on the bed said solemnly, seriously and worriedly.
"If you still have to ask about life and death to save people, you are not worthy of being the People's Liberation Army and the people's soldiers."
The two naturally didn't understand what the People's Liberation Army was, but they suddenly had an inexplicable admiration for Cai Yuxiao on the basis of saving his life.
"I didn't expect the girl to be so open-minded."
"You take care of your injuries, I'll go outside. I'll buy you some new clothes, and I'll get some to eat. β
"Girl, please stay. Since the girl is our savior. We should also tell the girl about us. The man said.
"Okay, then I'll sit down and listen to you slowly."
The man's name is Liu Jian, and his sister's name is Liu Lan.
Both of them are hard-working children, their parents died when they were young, and their older brother has always taken care of their younger sister.
The two have a deep relationship and depend on each other.
In order to take care of his younger sister, when his brother was 10 years old, he went to the martial arts arena to work as a student. The elder brother vowed to be a first-class martial artist, protect his sister for the rest of his life, let his sister be fed and clothed, and add a good family.
The 15-year-old brother entered the dueling arena for the first time and became famous.
There are many high-ranking officials and nobles, so they find people with strong martial arts from all over the world to challenge their brothers.
Facing different challengers, over the years, my brother has not lost a single defeat in the martial arts arena. Although he had to sign a life and death contract to enter the martial arts arena, his brother had never hurt any opponent who failed to compete with him.
The martial arts arena will not care whether it hurts people or not, whether it is dead or not, they only care whether they have money to make or not.
Over the years, my brother has also made a lot of money for the martial arts field, but what my brother can get is very little.
After a long time, my brother found that if he continued like this, he would definitely attract a lot of enemies for himself, especially those high-ranking officials and nobles who lost.
The elder brother was thinking about fighting a few more games and saving some money, so he left Wuguo with his sister. After all, after leaving the country of Wu, everything has to start anew.
But a few days ago, after my brother's martial arts competition, I returned home and found that my sister was gone.
Only one note was found inside the house.
The note read: If you want to keep your sister safe, you will lose the competition the day after tomorrow.
To lose means to be crippled and killed.
Brother, there is no way.
This is also the picture that Cai Xiaoxiao saw in the martial arts arena.
"How shall I describe you? I don't know if you're innocent or stupid. If you die, will your sister be alive and well? Can you live with peace of mind? Let's not talk about these things first, did they really let your sister go without ruining her? Cai Xiaoxiao did not express sympathy at the moment, but was a little angry.
"That's what the girl said. If I hadn't met the girl that day, I'm afraid I'd have died, and my sister wouldn't know how she would have been tortured by them. The man looked at his sister in shame.
"It's good to know. My name is Cai Yue. You just have a good rest, and I won't bother you. β
"Sister, can I go out with you?" My sister spoke shyly.
"Yes. I thought you were going to take care of your brother? β
"My brother wants to rest, and he doesn't have anything to do."
"Alright, let's go."
The two of them left the room.
On the way, my sister asked Cai Yue curiously, "Where is my sister from?" β
Cai Xiao thought about it, and now he can only be a person from the Sina country.
"Four-nation people."
"Does my sister have brothers and sisters?"
"No, I don't." Cai Xiaoxiao's answer was a little uncertain, after all, he really didn't know if the real queen had brothers and sisters.
"Is that sister married?"
Cai Xiaoxiao thought that the little sister was going to do something, it turned out that she wanted to marry his brother.
"My sister has already gotten married. This time I'm going out to do something. I'll be back in a few days. β
This little girl is really bold, and the emperor dares to dig into the corner. It's not a question of whether it's possible to be smashed to death by a wall, it's a question of being stoned to death in a corner.
The little girl said with some disappointment, "Oh. β
Cai heard it as soon as he heard it. There are no words that come out after this 'oh'.
After Cai finished shopping, he returned to the inn and opened the door.
Liu Jian looked at the door, "You're back." β
"Brother, we bought a lot of things. Here you go. My sister was very happy.
"Girl, I'm sorry. My little sister is not sensible, when I go back and wait for me to recover from my injury, I will definitely make money and return all the money to you. β
"Okay. If you really feel embarrassed, I won't refuse. Otherwise, I'll find you something to do. β
"The girl's great kindness cannot be reciprocated."
"It's okay, you're still young, just report it slowly. By the way, how old are you? β
"I'm just 20 years old today."
"You are all younger than me, since we are destined, why don't you follow your sister and call me sister."
"If the girl doesn't dislike it."
"I don't dislike it."
"I don't know what is important for my sister to go to Wuguo?" Liu Jian said.
"It's not anything important, it's just passing by."
"That's good."
It's just that Cai Xiaoxiao's restaurant in Wuguo can't be opened, which is a little regrettable. Cai Xiaoxiao always felt that this martial country would definitely make trouble for the Sina country in the future.
In the past few days, Liu Jian has been recuperating from his injuries in the inn. Cai Xiaoxiao and his sister searched the city to find out if there was a suitable place to open a restaurant. By the way, I also found a place for the two siblings to live.
Liu Jian lay on the bed for ten days, and the doctor came to remove the splint for Liu Jian. It is said that it is possible to move a little on the ground, but it is not possible to exercise vigorously. If you want to use a sword, you need to cultivate for at least 3 months.
Liu Jian could get out of bed and move, and Cai changed them and moved to the new house prepared for them.
In Yezhou City, Cai Xiaoxiao has stayed for a long time, and it's time to leave, otherwise he will break his promise.
Cai Xiaoyue took care of a good restaurant and handed over the restaurant to the two brothers and sisters to manage and operate.
Before leaving, Cai Yue also had a detailed explanation of how to manage and operate.
Yezhou is a border city, and Cai is worried that the martial arts will find this place, and the two siblings will be in trouble at that time.
Before leaving, Cai explained to them. If anyone asks where they came from, they say that they are from the Late Kingdom. Operate restaurants in various places to make a living. If you don't believe it, you can tell them Cai Xiaoxiao's name and let them check it.
The brother and sister are very grateful to Cai Xiaoxiao, and they will do their best to take care of and operate the restaurant, and report to Cai Xiaoxiao every detail about the monthly silver and the days that occur in the restaurant.
