Chapter 404: Into the City
Ai Hui didn't stop on the road, but headed towards Asakusa Castle at full speed. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Asakusa Castle is a small border town that is not large in size, similar in size to Matsuma Castle. Because of the smuggling trade some time ago, it seemed to be much more prosperous, but with the recent decline of the smuggling trade, Asakusa Castle has become much more depressed.
Business is not good, there are a lot of idlers, and the streets are full of idlers who gather in groups of threes and twos to chat.
Probably due to the recent serious banditry, Asakusa Castle's defenses are turned on. Towering ancient trees, the dense and thick canopy emits a faint green glow. At key locations in Asakusa Castle, ancient defensive trees are planted to form a defensive light belt.
Defend the Ancient Tree with only one function, which is defense. Its roots are able to penetrate very deep beneath the surface, and it is capable of growing to a height of more than two hundred meters, and its defense will become stronger as it increases in height.
In the Emerald Forest, the first thing that every city is built is always a defensive ancient tree. However, the defense of the ancient tree in the early stage of growth is relatively weak. But over time, the defenses will continue to strengthen.
The defensive light band held up by the ancient tree can effectively resist attacks from the sky.
Asakusa Castle is small in size, but it has a long history, and there are three ancient defensive trees that are more than 100 meters high, and the defense is very strong. It is wishful thinking for ordinary bandits to take such a city.
In fact, Ai Hui felt that the most suitable thing to build a city in the wilderness was Mu Xiu. To defend an ancient tree like this, it is necessary to plant and grow it with special wood repair. If Master Mu Xiu makes a move, the effect will be even stronger.
However, with the current relationship between Emerald Forest and the Council of Elders, it would be more wishful thinking for the two sides to join forces than for the bandits to capture Asakusa Castle.
Ai Hui only knew that his sister's embroidery workshop was in Asakusa City, and he had to find someone to ask for the specific location. He descended from the sky and entered the city gates.
The guards guarding the city glanced at him lazily, Ai Hui didn't care, as long as he was not attacked, the guards at the city gate always looked like this.
The lazy gaze paused on Ai Hui, and the guard's hand involuntarily grabbed the companion beside him.
The companion outside the soul wanderer was disturbed and said dissatisfiedly: "What are you doing?"
He noticed his teammate's gaze and followed it. Oh, it's a very ordinary little guy, the realm is not very high, it's just the realm of duality, where is this kind of person not grabbing a handful? What's all the fuss? Or is it a sword, wait, with a sword...... Black Cloud Wings...... A somewhat familiar face......
He was stunned.
When the eyes of the two swept over him, Ai Hui didn't feel anything. But the other party's gaze seemed to be glued to him, and he was a little uncomfortable, so he simply turned his face and asked, "Is there any problem?"
The two guards woke up from a dream, their faces pale and shook their heads desperately.
Ai Hui glanced at the two of them and felt that they were really a little strange. However, since he was not looking for trouble, Ai Hui was not interested in dealing with it, and walked straight to the city gate.
The city gate is long, as if passing through a dark and shady tunnel.
The moment he walked out of the city gate and out of the darkness, the sun shrouded him again, and the oncoming noise filled the breath of life. Ai Hui closed his eyes, enjoying the warmth of the sun shining in his arms, and the noisy atmosphere of life made him feel comfortable.
Holding the sword, he opened his arms as if to embrace the world.
The sun is still warm, and the noise seems to be a little smaller than just now.
It's a little smaller......
Be quiet.
Dead as quiet.
What happened? Ai Hui was stunned for a moment, he didn't feel any signs of danger approaching, he didn't feel that a master was coming out.
Ai Hui hurriedly opened his eyes, and then froze.
The people on the whole street were motionless as if they had applied the immobilization method, and what was even more strange was that their eyes were all focused on themselves.
Quiet, eerily quiet.
Ai Hui subconsciously glanced down at himself, well, a little broken, a little old, a little dirty, and then what?
He looked up.
Hula, clay statues of people seem to suddenly come to life, they panic and turn into birds. Several people were so panicked that they tripped and fled.
When Ai Hui reacted, the noisy street that was still bustling and full of life just now was empty.
There was a dead silence.
Ai Hui, who was dumbfounded, only reacted after a while, how could he ask for directions......
Half an hour later, in the embroidery workshop, Mingxiu was reprimanding Ai Hui.
"You are also the boss now, why are you still so impulsive in doing things? Now it's all well known, your senior sister and I just want to spend some peace here, you are making a fuss! Hey, you don't know, the shopkeeper who delivered the materials today didn't dare to look up at me, and everyone was about to lie on the ground and talk to me, and he didn't dare to accept the money, so it took me more than ten minutes to talk about it before he could accept it. You say, how is this business still going to be?"
"I know how to spread the word about you outside? Death, butcher, kills people like hemp, and scares me into a daze. ”
"You're too murderous! You fight and kill at every turn, how long has it been since you practiced embroidery? It's not that I'm talking about you, you also have to collect your temperament, don't fight and kill at every turn, you're not too old, you have to kill people cleanly, why do you still have so many living mouths?"
"Do you want me to help you?"
Ai Hui originally looked like he was obediently listening to the lecture with a shy face, and from time to time he said "yes, yes, yes", "yes, yes, yes", "Oh, why didn't I think of it?" and "The next time I see them, I will be kind, drink tea with them and talk about life" and so on.
But as I listened, the expression on my face was glazed. When he saw Senior Sister Mingxiu's eager look, Ai Hui's expression became even more sluggish.
Mingxiu was very satisfied with his performance, and his painting style changed, turning back into the gentle woman she was on weekdays, and said softly in a slow voice: "Senior brother, your temperament and senior sister are the most familiar, since the junior brother did it, it must be they who provoked the junior brother." The junior brother is so ruthless, which means that they are not ordinary to provoke the junior brother. However, killing is always against the harmony of heaven, and the ferocity is too heavy, so don't worry about them in general, relax and smile, and don't take risks yourself. Besides, how can you still let your junior brother draw her sword after entering the Jade Forest? Isn't this senior sister of Senior Sister in vain?"
The tone was as gentle as water, and Ai Hui felt weak when he heard it.
"Don't do it again in the future, you know? The master and the lady are not here, and the senior sister wants to watch you. ”
Ai Hui said honestly: "Yes." ”
The embroidery girl in the embroidery workshop peeked secretly, her eyes were full of curiosity, and she whispered.
One of the embroidered women had a on her face: "Is he Thunder Jianhui?" He doesn't look fierce at all, he smiles, he's so cute!"
Another short-haired embroidery girl sneered and said, "Cute, do you know how many people he killed? It's enough to fill our embroidery workshop." ”
This sentence immediately aroused public anger, and the scene depicted by the short-haired embroidered girl was too vivid.
"If you have a nightmare tonight, it's all your fault!"
"How can you say such terrible things!
"Oh my God, what will I do if I work overtime at night in the future?"
After the short-haired embroidery girl finished speaking, her face was also a little pale, obviously frightened by her words.
An elderly embroidery girl was worried: "The owner of the workshop is fierce, how long has this been trained, don't annoy him, what if he wants to make trouble in the embroidery workshop?"
"Then we'll get fucked like chickens. ”
The embroidered girl's eyes lit up: "Only I think others are good? ”
The short-haired embroidery girl sneered and blurted out: "He must have smiled so brightly when he killed." ”
"You really don't want us to have a good night's sleep!" "Scratch her!" "Hee-hee, I'll come too!" "It's useless to beg for mercy, I'm rooting for everyone!"
The embroidery girls rushed up and made a mess.
The years do not seem to have left traces on Lu Mingxiu's body, gentle and demure so that Ai Hui feels kind, standing in the embroidery workshop, the curious eyes of the embroidery girls around, time seems to go back, he seems to have returned to the city of Songjian, and he walked into the embroidery workshop of the master for the first time.
Only then did he realize that the layout of his sister's embroidery workshop was exactly the same as that of his sister's embroidery workshop.
Senior sister must also miss the master and the master.
"Come and take a hand, the recent construction period is very tight, there are many orders, the number of embroiderers is not enough, fortunately you came." ”
"Good!"
The embroidery girls looked at the legendary murderous butcher Ai Hui in amazement, and obediently took the needle and began to help. The owner also scolded from time to time.
"It's too rusty!"
"Wrong, wrong! This is a place where you wouldn't make that mistake. ”
"It's not the right needle!"
Mingxiu looked at Ai Hui's slightly rusty movements and seriousness on his face, his eyes were soft and warm. If the master and uncle are still there, I will definitely be proud of him when I see the achievements of my junior brother.
Many memories surfaced in this way.
Thinking about how the junior brother cracked the master's test, thinking about how the junior brother blew up the workshop and owed a huge debt, thinking about the junior brother's demeanor and focusing on peeling off the cocoon, the corners of her mouth hooked up a gentle smile like water.
The days in Matsuma Castle were the best days she remembered, with her master and uncle.
And that mountain-wide back, and that sincere smile.
When Lu Feng arrived at the embroidery workshop, he saw such a picture, and he was stunned on the spot. Not only him, but all the subordinates behind him are like a group of clay sculptures.
After a while, Lu Feng came back to his senses, his eyes turned to Mingxiu, full of apologies: "Recently, the ministry has been too busy, and I haven't come to see you for a while, Mingxiu, don't be surprised." ”
Ai Hui glanced at Lu Feng curiously, who is this guy?
Mingxiu's expression was cold: "Second brother, you are too polite." ”
Ai Hui glanced at Senior Sister Mingxiu, and as soon as he saw Senior Sister's appearance, he knew that the guy in front of him was useless. He had seen his senior sister smile so gentle in front of Brother Li Wei.
Or did you think wrong? Just now, the senior sister called the other party's second brother, and Ai Hui felt that his curiosity was about to jump out!
Lu Feng didn't seem to see Mingxiu's coldness, the smile on his face did not decrease, his eyes fell on Ai Hui, and he said heartily: "This is Mingxiu's junior brother, Ai Hui, who is known as the Thunder Sword Radiance?
Ai Hui immediately put away his contempt, just the thickness of his face, he is not an ordinary person! )
