Chapter 33: An Awkward Parting
Liu Xiaoya held the jade pendant and was sad alone. Ying Yanshu wanted to open his mouth to comfort, but he didn't know what to say. After a long time, Liu Xiaoya shook her head, brushed the hair in front of her forehead, wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, stood up, picked up the knife on the table, and cut the rope that bound Ying Yanshu.
"SisterΒ·Β·Β·Β·Β·Β· Thank you. Ying Yanshu covered his broken ribs and bowed with difficulty.
"No, I don't have to. Liu Xiaoya lifted the Eleven Bone Spirit Pagoda, "Do me a favor, and I'll give it back to you." β
"You say. β
"You can sneak into Miyagi and steal the Eleven Bone Spirit Pagoda, and I hope that one day, you can steal my sword. It's called Cangluo, and it's sealed in the armory of the Yisang City Defense Army, which is much easier than stealing the Eleven Bone Spirit Tower. β
"And when am I going to hand it over to you?"
"At your convenience. β
"At my convenience?" After a year of dealing with a cunning boss like Ming Li, Ying Yanshu didn't expect an employer to give such an answer.
"I live in Shouming Palace now, and I don't need the Cangluo Sword. Come back at least once every three months, tell me the story outside, and bring the sword with you when it's convenient. β
"Okay. β
"Promised so quickly, did you lie to me again?"
"How so? Since you saved me, then I will never lie to you. β
"Men always don't tell the truth, how can I believe you. Although she said so, Liu Xiaoya still handed over the Eleven Bone Spirit Pagoda and the jade pendant to Ying Yanshu, "You can take this jade pendant back one by one, and remind you to abide by the agreement." β
After speaking, Liu Xiaoya took out a small iron box from elsewhere, handed it to Ying Yanshu and said, "This medicine can be applied externally, which can treat fractures." I would like to apologize to you, in fact, you have two broken ribs and one rib fracture. I accidentally dropped you off when I put you on bed yesterday and broke the third rib with a broken bone. β
As she spoke, Liu Xiaoya twisted her head to the side, avoiding Ying Yanshu's eyes a little embarrassed. Ying Yanshu took the iron box with a wry smile, looked at this sometimes delicate and sometimes large girl, and said, "Thank you." β
"It should. β
"Then, then I'm gone. Ying Yanshu lost the conversation.
"Go? can't you go now. The guards outside are patrolling, and if you go out, you're sure to bump into them, so stay until the evening. Also, you must leave Shouming Palace before the time of the child, and leave Yisang before the time of the ugly. Because every night is the dormant time of the blood sword slave, the dormant blood sword slave will expand the breath to the entire Yisang City, and every corner can't escape his perception, but the blood sword slave during the dormant period can't do anything, and it will only revive when it is ugly. No one else knows about this kind of thing, but Shan Huaiyan told me. β
Hearing this, Ying Yanshu realized how he was exposed yesterday. When he infiltrated the secret vault to steal it, he was perceived by the sleeping blood sword slave, and when he was ugly, he had not left, and the blood sword slave who had recovered from dormancy informed Shan Huai that there would be a blockade of Miyagi.
"Won't they find out?"
"It should be soon, but I can handle it. You can hide under the bed, and you can't look out no matter what you hear, or you'll die. Liu Xiaoya said as she pushed Ying Yanshu under the bed.
"Wait a minute, tap, why are you so rude. Ying Yanshu stuck his head out from under the bed, "How do you deal with it, are you a concubine?"
"Go back! I said that I can't look out, how can I forget it so quickly!" Liu Xiaoyan kicked Ying Yanshu in the face. Ying Yanshu hurriedly retracted his head under the bed, and Liu Xiaoyan kicked on the edge of the bed.
A homemade wind chime on the roof suddenly rang, Liu Xiaoya's eyes narrowed slightly, took off her coat, spread her long hair out, and said, "Just because I am their old chief." β
A group of soldiers stepped into the courtyard of the Shouming Palace, the two leaders looked at each other, and one of them said, "That, who is going?"
"You, you go. Weren't you her adjutant at the time? You two got on better terms. β
"Yes, I'm her lieutenant. But when she left, didn't she send you all the way to the border? β
"You, you're better than me. If she's angry, you won't be beaten up too badly. β
"But, what, you're so eloquent. You go in and talk about it, and she probably won't be angry. If it were me, I'd be beaten this time. β
"I, I, I'm all stammered, stammered, eloquence, okay?"
"Who doesn't know you're eloquent? You stutter because you see her nervous. β
"You know I'm nervous, and let me go. β
"The whole city defense army knew you liked her, and she must have known it. So when you go in, she's definitely gentler to you than to me. β
"How embarrassing would it be for you to open your eyes and tell nonsense! How embarrassing should it be to go in a situation like mine, as an old comrade-in-arms, can you bear to let me be embarrassed while being beaten?"
"You stammered like that just now, wouldn't it be in vain if you didn't go in?"
"You, what kind of crooked reasoning are you? Come on, let's go together. β
"Okay. β
The two of them came to the door together. The soldier behind him couldn't help but snicker when he heard the commander's conversation.
There was a knock on the door, "Yisang City Guard, ordered to search the Shouming Palace!"
"No! wait, wait. A woman's nervous voice came from inside the room.
Hearing this, the two glanced at each other, their eyes were cold, and they forcibly broke in. The woman's screams sounded, and Liu Xiaoya in front of her was wearing only one skirt, naked, with her long hair scattered, her back to the two of them, and her arms tightly clasped in front of her chest.
"Get out!"
"Captain, I'm sorry! We're afraid you're in danger!" the two of them went blank in their minds, and hurriedly closed the door, leaning against the door and wearing rough clothes.
"Cut. Liu Xiaoya snorted lightly, grimaced at the door, and turned around to put on her clothes.
Unexpectedly, as soon as Liu Xiaoya turned around, she was just in time for Ying Yanshu to stick her head out from under the bed. Suddenly, Liu Xiaoya's little face turned red, and she kicked Ying Yanshu's face, and Ying Yanshu was stunned and kicked back.
"Didn't you say you weren't allowed to look out! You're dead! Wait!" Liu Xiaoya, who was angry, reddened the tips of her ears, and while getting dressed, she lowered her voice and scolded Yanshu.
"I forgot, I heard screams, afraid you were in danger. I don't know. Ying Yanshu also lowered his voice and responded.
"Bastard! You did it on purpose!
"I didn't, I'm sorry. β
"Shut up!" Liu Xiaoya picked up the knife on the table, thought about it, and flew towards the door. The knife poked at the door, and the tip of the knife passed through the door panel, startling the two people outside the door into a cold sweat.
After a while, Liu Xiaoyan pushed open the door with a pale face, and the two stood in front of the door with their heads bowed in embarrassment.
"Team, captain, don't come unharmed. One spoke.
"What's the matter?" Liu Xiaoya didn't want to say a word of nonsense. She was afraid that her acting skills were not in place before, but now it is confirmed that she is too worried, and she doesn't have to act at all because of her bad mood.
"Yes, yes, there is a fly, a snitch, mixed, mixed into Miyagi, we, Bong, Bong. β
"We were ordered to search all the palaces, including Shouming Palace. Seeing that his companion was stammering more and more, the previous soldiers hurried to relieve the siege.
Liu Xiaoya didn't say anything, went back to the house, and came out to throw a rag to the soldier.
"What do you mean, Captain?" the soldier asked, stunned.
"Wipe his nosebleed clean!"
The companion on the side stood in a straight military posture with a serious expression, but the nosebleed was unconsciously flowing downward, and he didn't even notice it. After listening to Liu Xiaoya's words, the two of them noticed this trouble. The soldier gave his companion a kick, and the man grabbed the rag and ran away.
"I'm sorry Captain. The soldier said awkwardly.
"Hurry! Hurry! Fuck off! How could I have such a nasty old subordinate as you. β
"Yes, yes!" the soldier gave a military salute, poked his head into the room, and symbolically looked around before leading the group away.
Liu Xiaoya returned to the house with red ears, Ying Yanshu crawled out of the bed tremblingly, wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth, spit out two teeth, and the nosebleeds on her face were not only her own or her own kicks.
"Thanks, thanks. Ying Yanshu said inarticulately, and spit out another tooth.
"Are there any other teeth to spit out?" Liu Xiaoya's tone suddenly became soft.
"No, no. β
"Wouldn't that kick be too heavy? Liu Xiaoya walked up to Ying Yanshu and put her arms around Ying Yanshu's neck.
"No, it won't. Ying Yanshu had a bad premonition in his heart.
"Then I'll do it," Liu Xiaoyan raised her leg violently, and her knee hit between Ying Yanshu's legs, "Then I'll be relieved." β
Ying Yanshu bowed in pain like a prawn. Liu Xiaoya pushed him away, sat on the edge of the bed, and crossed Erlang's legs.
Ying Yanshu fell to the ground, covered his ribs, and said with difficulty: "The fourth, I seem, broke another rib." β
"No thanks, yes. β
βΒ·Β·Β·Β·Β·Β·β
At that time, the sirens of the watchtower echoed in the night sky of Miyagi. The patrol gathered around and found the corpse of a schanter according to the light reflected by the bronze mirror on the watchtower.
"This is the thief who disguised himself as a charmer, and how did he die?"
"The death was so miserable that the masks made of Kuimu were cracked. β
"Take off your mask and take a look. β
"This person, why is this person so familiar. β
"He's Lao Zhang, isn't he a sentinel?"
"Sentinel, sentry of which watchtower?"
"Seven. β
"Which watchtower just sent the alarm?"
"Like, like Seven. β
"Bastard, go to Tower Seven!"
The soldiers rushed up to Tower Seven, and on the top of the tower, there was no one but blood on the ground. At the north gate of Yisang City, the young man with a thin sword on his back limped out of the city.
