159 Lack of righteousness
The next road is much easier to walk, in fact, the previous road is not very difficult to walk, but there was an extra carriage at that time, and the speed is really not as good as now, so the time to go to Jiangyi City is enough to save two or three days.
After a few days, I didn't see the black-clothed people who chased and killed Ah Yi that day, Ah Yi and Xia Xiaoxiao, no, to be precise, it should be only Xia Xiaoxiao's tense heart that rested, Ah Yi didn't seem to take those people to heart at all, maybe it was really a habit to be hunted down and killed a lot.
Xia Xiaoxiao looked back, she escaped from Yong'an Temple to the present, to say the least, it has been almost two months, two months is not long, not short, but if you count it carefully, she can be regarded as having experienced a lot of thrilling escapes from death, she herself can't believe that she escaped from Beigong Yu again and again, and also escaped from Murong Tianlian, even when she met an assassin, she was able to force out the hidden masters around her, all kinds of things along the way, Xia Xiaoxiao estimated that she could compare to the protagonists in the books she had read, or could she make a book of words by herself and change it to an autobiography after she found the landing? And then passed down for centuries?
This dream was done, Xia Xiaoxiao felt shameless! When she was bored, she told Ah Yi about this idea, and Ah Yi replied to her, "Have you sacrificed your life for the country or contributed to the rivers and lakes?" At best, your autobiography is just a melon seed for those people, and you still want to pass it on for a hundred years? Those who can survive all die young. ”
Xia Xiaoxiao shook her head, forget it, she still wants to live more, what are she doing with those false names when she is gone?
The sun is three poles, and the road away from Jiang Yi is gradually in front of you.
Because the time of the martial arts conference was approaching, Jiang Yi was at the border of Yuehua, and it was quite close to Nanming Kingdom to the south, almost a city apart, at this time, Xia Xiaoxiao thought that the guards on the edge of the city should be very strict, but he didn't expect it to be a mess.
On the way to Jiang Yicheng, except for a few officers and soldiers guarding the city gate, there was not a single officer and soldier on the rest of the road, and there was a lot of noise in the city.
At the beginning, Xia Xiaoxiao didn't notice this, and when he arrived in the city, the first thing was to find a good meal to entertain himself.
Xia Xiaoxiao weighed the burden in his hand, and couldn't help complaining when he tested the obviously much lighter weight in his hand, "This silver is really useless, it's only been two months, how can it be so much less?" ”
At first, she also planned to get to Nanming, even if she found the end of the eighty percent, it would be enough for a while, but now look at the remaining assets inside, whether she can hold up to find the end is still a matter of two words, it was good not to go far before, but now that she has walked so far, she knows the importance of silver, no money can be said to be difficult to move an inch, she can't really be a beggar to ask for food in front of Luozhi at that time, right? That's a shame!
"When I hired a coachman, I gave a lot of money to your shopkeeper, didn't your shopkeeper pay you any business trip expenses? You can't be cheated by your shopkeeper, right? She suddenly turned her head and glared at Ah Yi, he was setting up the horse and walking into the inn step by step behind him, he was about to say something, his eyes suddenly looked behind her, Xia Xiaoxiao turned around, his eyes flickered, and he saw a huge thing flying towards him!
"Bang!"
The sudden force on the arm pulled Xia Xiaoxiao to the side, and at the last moment, she steadily dodged the huge thing that suddenly hit her, Xia Xiaoxiao looked at the thing that had just been smashed on the door of the inn and now fell to the ground again, fixed her eyes, not only Xia Xiaoxiao, but she also heard the same sound of inhaling air in the entire inn as her.
Amazingly, the huge thing that fell at Xia Xiaoxiao's feet was a person, a living person!
"Hmph, what if Lao Tzu eats the overlord meal? The martial arts conference was held, even Wen Qiya had to sell Lao Tzu a face, how old are you? I'm afraid you're still wearing diapers when I lick the knife! ”
A strong man grinned and spat out a mouthful of spit, shirtless, with a big black spider tattooed on his body, Xia Xiaoxiao saw the giant axe on his back at a glance, his eyelids trembled, the person seemed to have no two of her at all, and walked over arrogantly, Xia Xiaoxiao was pulled by Ah Yi to hide in a hurry, but he didn't dodge far, the man's arms were thicker than Xia Xiaoxiao's thighs, and he came over and thought that Xia Xiaoxiao occupied him, and pushed it over with a palm, Xia Xiaoxiao fell to Ah Yi unexpectedly, It looked like he was going to do a bad job at the man who had fallen to the ground earlier.
"Are you alright?"
Ah Yi helped Xia Xiaoxiao's somewhat weak-legged body, thinking that she was injured in something, and her eyes didn't feel a little colder, Xia Xiaoxiao shook her head, swallowed her saliva, and wanted to pull Ah Yi to another inn, but the strong man pushed her and thought that the strong man was going to beat her because he saw that she was not pleasing to the eye! Although she likes to watch the excitement, but at this time, this person is obviously not easy to provoke, what if this excitement is not optimistic and provokes herself? Looking at the axe he was carrying on his back, it was estimated that with a knife, Xia Xiaoxiao should be in a different place!
I didn't know that her eyes just fell on the little brother at her feet with a little sympathy, her hand pulled, but she didn't pull Ah Yi, and when she looked up, Ah Yi didn't know when she had arrived in front of her, and the strong man just lifted the foot that wanted to stomp on the little brother was blocked by Ah Yi's foot, which was like a bell, but his eyes were extremely indifferent.
This sudden change made many people in the inn drop their jaws in shock, Xia Xiaoxiao jumped cautiously, half-covering his face for fear that this strong man would beat her when he saw her, and whispered behind Ah Yi, "Uncle, you are not a hero, the current situation is not very good, let's eat another family." ”
Ah Yi glanced at Xia Xiaoxiao, his expression eased, and before he could speak, the strong man in front of him had already taken two steps back, his eyes were slightly shocked, and the shopkeeper who had been standing aside in the inn before and didn't dare to make a sound saw someone to help, so he hurriedly stepped forward to help his shopkeeper up, and the shopkeeper coughed, and the two front teeth fell to the ground mixed with blood, Xiao Er was frightened for a while, and before he could say the words of thanks, the strong man opened his greasy mouth that didn't wipe after eating, "Yo, It's not enough to hit the pole today, but I dare to come to the second one, Lao Tzu hasn't come out for a while, but I didn't expect that the people in Jiang Yicheng have forgotten all about Lao Tzu! ”
Now there seem to be a lot of locals from Jiang Yicheng in the inn, and when they heard the strong man's words, they looked at the hideous big spider tattooed on his body with a little doubt, and suddenly exclaimed, "Is he the Red Ink Spider Song Li?" ”
"Song Li? Wasn't he arrested by the government? How did it come out? ”
"Eighty percent of people have spent money to bail it out, but this person doesn't blink an eye when he kills people, but now that Jiang Yi is about to hold the martial arts conference, how dare he come here? He also has a lot of enemies, and he dares to be so arrogant! ”
Voices full of jealousy and disdain sounded one after another in the inn, Xia Xiaoxiao heard the murderous without blinking, and she was even more determined to pull Ah Yi away, obediently, this person is no better than the little minions with thin arms and thin legs they met before, seeing that it won't be long before she can find the landing, she can't lose her life because of such a trivial matter!
Ah Yi seemed to be more aware of current affairs, glanced at the strong man lightly, and wanted to follow Xia Xiaoxiao out.
"It just so happens that Lao Tzu didn't pay for the meal, so I'll give you a chance to kowtow to grandpa!"
But the strong man has just been swept away, why is he so good? Scared, Xia Xiaoxiao turned his head when he heard the voice, and saw that the strong man took out the big axe that he had been carrying behind him, raised his hand and slashed at the two of them!
Good boy! Xia Xiaoben took Ah Yi's hand, and without thinking about it, he let go and went out of the inn with a smoke!
Ah Yi's face was slightly unhappy, he didn't expect that at such a critical moment, the first thing Xia Xiaoxiao did was to throw him down and run away!
Heaven and earth are clear, Xia Xiaoxiao's reaction is purely instinctive! I didn't even have a spin in my head! As soon as she ran out of the inn, she suddenly found that Ah Yi didn't run out with her, and when she turned around, there was another obedient sound, Ah Yi actually fought with a strong man!
Although she knew that he knew martial arts, she also knew that maybe his martial arts were not weak, otherwise how could she kill a few of the people who were chasing them that day and escape with her? But this strong man is obviously a ruthless character, the shopkeeper was kicked so far by him, she felt that it seemed that Ah Yi's body was not as big as the shopkeeper, but now that the two of them are fighting, the strong man has fallen straight down!
Xia Xiaoxiao was outside the inn, wanting to get closer, but I was afraid that the axe in the strong man's hand would not be held firmly and fly out, don't get closer, now outside the inn because of this commotion, most of the guests inside have escaped to avoid the pond fish, but they all like to watch the excitement, so they rushed to the door, completely blocking Xia Xiaoxiao's sight.
Xia Xiaoxiao, Xia Xiaoxiao, although people eat and drink you along the way, they have helped you a lot, at this time you are so unrighteous is really not interesting, too not enough to be a model of the future generation of heroes! Gritting his teeth, Xia Xiaoxiao puffed up again and again in his heart, and then took steps to squeeze the crowd away and rushed in, there were few people left in the inn who could sit and eat and drink tea with peace of mind, seeing that the strong man cut down on Ah Yi mercilessly with an axe, it was okay not to look at it, but he pinched a cold sweat in his heart for Ah Yi at a glance, fortunately, although he was much smaller than the strong man, he was flexible, and he didn't get on him at once, and even a few times Xia Xiaoxiao seemed to see Ah Yi close to him, and it seemed that he had slapped him a few times.
The two fought, and many people standing outside the inn were frightened, Xia Xiaoxiao completely forgot to worry about Ah Yi this time, and really regarded their fight as if they were watching a play, but for a moment, the strong man seemed to be a little impatient, Xia Xiaoxiao suddenly saw Ah Yi's eyes swept towards her, and seemed to be wrong, and the next moment A sneer suddenly appeared on Ah Yi's face, and a move passed, the strong man seemed to have suffered some injury, and he fell to the ground in a failed move, and was kicked out by Ah Yi.
Because of Xia Xiaoxiao's distraction, she didn't see clearly how Ah Yi knocked down this strong man, just because Ah Yi's smile at her seemed to be a little familiar......
didn't have time to think about it, the strong man rolled out of the inn along the threshold, his hands on his stomach couldn't even scream, Xia Xiaoxiao came back to her senses, looked up and saw Ah Yi standing at the door and chuckling at her, Xia Xiaoxiao suddenly had a strange thought, could it be that he beat people like this, wasn't it because the strong man pushed her?
Some are happy, some are happy, and most of all, some are proud, look! This is a coachman she has found, who can knock this strong man down, on the other hand, isn't he also powerful?
"Good!"
Xia Xiaoxiao slapped her face to death, and her voice was also loud, encouraging everyone to clap with her, while shouting, "Okay!" Hit hard! ”
Everyone just came back to their senses from the fight just now, and the sound of drums and laughter with both palms sounded, and many people gave Ah Yi a thumbs up, but Xia Xiaoxiao didn't see Ah Yi's eyelids twitching from the first time she called out.
Xia Xiaoxiao was looking intently at the admiring and envious gazes on the faces of the people around him, and he didn't notice that Ah Yi had turned around and walked in, and then the shopkeeper helped the shopkeeper in.
"Childe, that childe told you to go in quickly, don't ...... outside"
The shopkeeper ran out again after a while, and the shopkeeper's respectful appearance to her made her quite useful, but before she finished speaking, she glanced at Xia Xiaoxiao again, and these people around looked at the strong men who were still lying on the ground and took a sip, some people left, and some people continued to go in to eat and drink, Xia Xiaoxiao looked unfinished, straightened her chest as if the person who had just knocked people down was her, and the appearance of a fox and a fake tiger was quite appropriate, "Don't do anything outside?" ”
The shopkeeper was a little embarrassed to say it, but thinking about what the hero who had helped them a lot just now, he said it as it was, "Say that you don't want to be embarrassed outside......
Xia Xiaoxiao's chest hung down again, and as soon as he entered the threshold, he saw Ah Yi sitting by the window, and another helper's little girl was filling him with tea, but his eyes glanced at Ah Yi's face.
Xia Xiaoxiao put the burden on the dining table and said angrily, "How can you say that I am embarrassed? What we do is to eliminate harm for the people, uphold justice, and beat those who eat overlord meals, you don't see how arrogant those people are when they see you! ”
"Did you help?"
Ah Yi glanced at her, Xia Xiaoxiao choked, sat down quietly, and said in a rather calm tone, "No." ”
"Fangcai, who left me and ran away?"
Obviously, Ah Yi was angry that she actually left him in her stomach and ran away, and he really should be angry, thinking that Ah Yi didn't plan to leave her when he met those assassins at that time, Xia Xiaoxiao did this, it was really too unrighteous, she choked again, but she could only cough twice, "Didn't I know that I could only be a burden to you if I stayed." ”
"You know that."
Ah Yi couldn't help laughing, although he knew that even if she wanted to stay in that situation, it would only be in the way, and maybe she would hurt herself, but this was different from her letting go of her hand and running away, and he still felt a little uncomfortable thinking about it. It didn't take long for the shopkeeper to bring the dishes up, Xia Xiaoxiao looked at it, a table full of delicacies was all her favorite chicken, duck and fish, saliva couldn't help but pour into her throat, but fortunately, her sanity was still there, and when she saw Ah Yi holding chopsticks, she put it in a plate of steamed fish, and hurriedly stopped him, "Hey, although I did have some unrighteousness just now, you won't cheat me like this!" ”
After eating such a table, she will not go bankrupt! Besides, the two of them can't eat so much!
The shopkeeper on the side seemed to know her worries and hurriedly explained, "Don't worry about this son, this table is the shopkeeper to invite the two, the shopkeeper is treating a lot of injuries, and the doctor is healing the inconvenience to come out to thank the two heroes, and also ordered that if the two need to borrow, they will not be cashiered, and the right to thank the two for raising their hands!" ”
Xia Xiaoxiao was happy when she heard it, and even beckoned Ah Yi to eat, "It's a waste to eat so much, we'll ask the shopkeeper if he can give us dry food later, this has to save a sum of silver, Ah Yi, you fought so beautifully!" ”
"Little Er, check out."
Before Xia Xiaoxiao could ask the question of whether she could give dry food for free, the shopkeeper was suddenly called by a table not far away, and his eyes suddenly swept over the people at the table behind Ah Yi, three men and one woman, among them, a man with his back to her casually put silver on the table, and the two people opened a few rooms and went upstairs to the inn.
When Ah Yi was fighting with the strong man in the house, most of the people ran out of the inn, for fear of being injured by the two's short-sighted moves, Xia Xiaoxiao could see clearly outside, these people were the only ones who didn't go out at the table, a few people went upstairs, looked at the back, and didn't feel a little familiar.
"What are you looking at?"
Ah Yi sandwiched a piece of braised pork into her bowl, Xia Xiaoxiao withdrew her gaze, and said casually, "Beauty embryo." ”
The shopkeeper seemed to be really grateful to them, and took the jar of wine out, Xia Xiaoxiao was a little puzzled, and asked casually while eating, "What are you doing to provoke this kind of person who eats overlord meals since you can't beat them?" If I had gone to report to the government first, I would have heard that the man had just been released from prison, and I wouldn't have dared to say anything else. ”
When the shopkeeper heard this, he sighed rather melancholy, and only five words: "It's hard to say a word." ”
At this time, there were not many people in the inn who still had the heart to eat because of the fight, most of the two of them went back to the house to fall asleep, and the second person in the shop was a young man, regardless of any small etiquette, he lifted a stool and sat down on the side, "Jiang Yicheng is a city where the most Jianghu sects stand in Yuehua, and there has been no change in recent years, but occasionally some martial arts events are much more lively, and there are many people from all over the rivers and lakes, but it is not like this picture now, and the people who come are actually some people with a bad reputation." ”
Xia Xiaoxiao glanced at Ah Yi, obviously he didn't want to find out anything like Xia Xiaoxiao like Xia Xiaoxiao in this regard, and he was concentrating on eating the meal in front of him at this time.
"I don't know why the leader of the martial arts alliance this time, no matter whether that person's reputation is good or bad, but all the people who are not weak in martial arts, or the sect that is not weak in power, have been invited to participate in this martial arts conference, those chivalrous and righteous people are nothing, but if there are more wicked people in a city, it will be us ordinary people who are oppressed, and how many people are willing to help like the two heroes today?"
After speaking, the gratitude in the eyes of the shopkeeper was a little more, Xia Xiaoxiao listened to him, and put a piece of rice into the bowl with chopsticks in a daze, but it turned out to be a piece of meat, and he didn't care and said, "The government doesn't care?" If there are too many wicked people, shouldn't they go to the government? ”
"Official?" The shopkeeper sneered and then sighed, "This kind of thing involves the martial arts conference, and then it involves the affairs of the rivers and lakes, how can the imperial court take care of it?" ”
"Beigong ...... The imperial court eats the tax money of the common people and relies on the common people to feed them, can they still share so much at this time? ”
Although I have always known that the rivers and lakes of the imperial court have never been asked much, but if the martial arts alliance leader does not manage this matter well, then it can only be suppressed by the people of the imperial court, otherwise those people will not be allowed to fly into the sky? What does Beigong Yu do for food? After thinking about it, he felt that Beigong Yu should not ask if he knew such a thing, and said, "It is said that every time the martial arts conference is about to be held, the imperial court will send people to guard it to prevent turmoil, didn't the imperial court send someone over this year?" ”
Xia Xiaoxiao didn't know how many times she had heard the shopkeeper's sigh, so she sandwiched it into the bowl again, and it was another piece of meat that was stuffed into her mouth, so she took the time to look into the bowl, a bowl full of sharp vegetables and meat, she didn't remember that she had a pickle.
"If you don't eat again, I won't be able to eat it alone."
Ah Yi glanced at her, Xia Xiaoxiao looked into the bowl again, fortunately, they are all their favorite food, and heard Xiao Er say slowly, "Hey, the imperial court, originally this Jiangyi city should indeed be suppressed by the people of the imperial court, but it is said that the army at the border of Yuehua and Yue will not last long, two months ago I heard that the emperor and Wu and Chaoyang reached an agreement, this battle to Yue should be undoubtedly won, some time ago I also heard that the emperor has sent a third wave of troops to Yue, He wanted to defeat the Yue State in this move, but he didn't want to be stabbed in the back by Wu Guo, who had always had a good relationship with Yue Hua and had reached an alliance agreement. ”
"Wu Guo repented!?"
Xia Xiaoxiao was shocked, a fish bone was accidentally stuck in her throat, she was choked and coughed, Ah Yi handed over tea from the side, she barely swallowed the fish bone, the shopkeeper wanted to bring her some vinegar, Xia Xiaoxiao grabbed him and motioned for him to continue, "When did this happen?" Beigong Yu doesn't look like a person who is so easy to fall for a full set of people? ”
Xia Xiaoxiao didn't pay attention and accidentally told Beigong Yu's name, the lord of Wu was Yan Yanxing, she had also seen the old guy, and when she saw him when she saw Xia Yingxi, she thought that this person was not a good bird, but when she learned that he had a good relationship with Yue Hua, she didn't expect that this old guy would suddenly stab Beigong Yu in the back, she didn't expect it, she shouldn't have a face, and Beigong Yu didn't think of it? How could Beigong Yu be such a shrewd person? Even if you didn't see anything unusual before the alliance, you should more or less notice some clues when you send troops to crusade......
