Yanjiazhuang is a very remote small village, with about 40 households in the village. Less than 1,000 kilometers west www.biquge.info of Yanjiazhuang is the famous Red Sea Desert. Since adventurers and business travelers often go to the desert for adventure or trading, there are occasionally people who rest, sharpen and recuperate in Yanjiazhuang.

The sun sets, and the sun is like blood. Yanjiazhuang smoke rises. Today is the fifth birthday of Yan Yan, the youngest son of the owner's Yan Peng family. Servants, maids, and villagers came in and out, busy and lively. The owner of Yan Peng was drinking tea with a middle-aged man in the living room.

"Big brother must have made some gains in this trip to the desert, little brother congratulations!" Yan Peng asked while serving tea.

"Hey, don't mention it! Brother, I have lost a lot this time! Although there was a small gain, six brothers were lost. Hong Lixing smiled bitterly and briefly introduced the situation, "There are thirteen people on our trip, and we passed through a battlefield site, and then found a cave. In the process, we encountered herds of wild beasts, experienced quicksands, encountered traps and traps, and lost four brothers; On the way back, he returned the same way, and while he was familiar with the road conditions, he still lost two more brothers. ”

"Oh, it's strange that the little brother took the liberty to mention this, causing the eldest brother's sad memories. Don't talk about these unpleasant things. Big brother, it's a coincidence that you came today, today happens to be the fifth birthday of Yan Yan. Big brother, you have to stay and have a good meal, and I want to have a few drinks with my big brother in the evening. Master Yan Zhuang turned his head as he spoke, and instructed the maid on the side: "You go to the backyard and ask the lady to bring the little master over and meet my eldest brother." ”

"Yes, sir." The maid turned and went to the backyard.

"Haha, it's a coincidence that we came here today! Okay, we'll stay today. After a while, the two of us will talk while drinking, and we will chatter and chatter. Hahaha... Hong Lixing also agreed when he heard this.

At this time, Mrs. took her son to the living room, and Yan Peng saw it and hurriedly greeted: "Come on, come on, hurry up and meet my brother in Xisha City." This is the friend I made in Xisha City when I was out in the early days: Brother Hong Lixing of Chivalry Hall. ”

"Brother and daughter-in-law meet uncle" "Nephew meets uncle, Uncle Hong is good." Mrs. Yan Peng took her son forward to salute.

"Hahaha, please get up! Hurry up, please! Come on, come on, little one, come to Uncle, let Uncle take a good look. Hong Lixing returned the salute and took Xiao Yanyan's hand, brought it to him, and then took out a piece of topaz from his arms, handed it over, and put it in Xiao Yanyan's palm, "Uncle doesn't have any decent gifts, so I'll give you this piece of warm jade." ”

"It's unacceptable, it's too expensive." Master Yan Zhuang looked at his stunned son, and hurriedly said, "How can a child give such a valuable thing to them, no, no." ”

"It's nothing, this piece of jade is also something I occasionally picked up in the cave this time, and when I carry it on my body, it is warm. It's best for children to keep out the cold, so that the little ones won't catch colds so easily. As you know, I don't have a family, and I don't have any children, so it's not much use to keep this thing. I was still thinking about it when I found it, and I gave it to the little one when I passed by you. Hey, just in time for the little one's birthday. Look at it, doesn't this mean that this jade is related to our little Yan Yan? Hahaha" Hong Lixing smiled proudly, "Brother and sister, hurry up and find a small hanging bag for Xiao Yanyan to hang on his chest." Besides, I have something else to open your eyes, so don't waste time. ”

"Well, it's up to you." Yan Peng turned his head to his wife with a smile and said, "You hurry up and find a delicate hanging bag, put it up and hang it for your son." ”

"yes, okay." Mrs. Yan took out a silk hanging bag, put it around Yan Yan's neck, put the warm jade in it, and hung it on her chest.

"Big brother, what kind of magic thing did you get this time, look at the beauty of you. Take it out, and see. Yan Peng urged.

"Okay, okay, okay, take it right away, take it right away, see if you're in a hurry." Hong Lixing unhurriedly lifted the hem of his robe to his waist, revealing a sword hilt at his waist, holding the hilt lightly, hearing a soft sound of "click", and then Hong Lixing took out the hilt, only to see that under the hilt, there was a soft object like silver silk at the position of the sword body. As Hong Lixing turned the hilt of the sword, the soft object suddenly hardened, forming a sword body, and the sword light flashed.

"You see, it's this soft sword. The name of the sword is "Qiushui Sword", and it is unusually soft and sharp. The mechanism controls are all on the hilt. It can be tied around the waist when not in use; When you take it out and use it, it's extremely sharp, which is really hard to prevent! This Qiushui sword is the biggest harvest of our trip, and when we return to Xisha City, we will dedicate it to Hall Master Xie, and we can also compensate the families of our fallen brothers. ”

Yan Peng took the soft sword and played with it seriously. At this time, a maid walked into the living room, "Master, the wine and food are ready, can you have a banquet?" ”

"Okay, let's take a seat. Ask the six guests to sit in the front hall and let the butler accompany them. Let's start serving snacks here, too. ”

Yan Peng heard the maid's request, handed the soft sword back to Hong Lixing and instructed the maid.

"Yes." The maid took the order, turned around and left, and went to the housekeeper to make arrangements.

Hong Lixing took the soft sword and tied it around his waist again.

"Come, come, come, big brother, please take a seat, you and my brother have a few drinks today, and we won't get drunk." Yan Peng pulled Hong Lixing up and walked to the dining table and arranged him to sit down on the upper seat, accompanied by himself.

"Okay, in that case, brother, I won't shirk it. Today our brothers are not drunk. Hahaha... Hong Lixing no longer shirked and sat down. After a while, the wine and food were spread one after another, and the two brothers chatted while drinking, which was very speculative.

When the cups of wine in Yanjiazhuang were staggered, a group of horses was gathering a hundred miles west of Yanjiazhuang, nearly 200 people. They were all covered with black scarves, and their horses hung long bows or crossbows; Carrying arrows and scimitars at his waist, he is neatly equipped. One of the big men on a tall black horse was particularly conspicuous. He pointed to a thin knight and said, "Come here, madman, and tell me everything you knew before." "Yes," the madman replied, "A few days ago, I was alone in the Red Sea Desert and discovered the ruins of an ancient battlefield, so I have been looking for treasure there. Because of the danger of the ruins, I didn't dare to go deep alone, so I had to explore the periphery. Just the day before yesterday, I saw Hong Lixing and his group of nine people coming out of the depths of the battlefield. They all looked tired, but their faces were excited. I figured they had something to gain, so I sent you a carrier pigeon and followed them from a distance. Yesterday, by chance, they encountered a herd of bison. Bison have rough skin and thick flesh, making them difficult to kill. They fought hard and lost two men. Later, Hong Lixing took out a sword out of nowhere, the sword was very sharp, and a single sword could cut down a bison. Soon they highlighted the bison herd and left. I couldn't follow at the time, so I sent out a thousand miles of bees to follow me. It was not until this morning that the bison had dispersed and I arrived here to meet you. According to the information fed back by Qianli Bee, Hong Lixing and his entourage arrived in Yanjiazhuang, and they have not left yet, so they should be going to spend the night there. How to act, please ask Elder Song to decide. The madman finished reporting and took a step back. Elder Song sat on his horse and pondered for a while. Gradually, his eyes flashed fiercely, and he waved his hand, "All ready, the goal is Yanjiazhuang, ask not to leave a single living mouth, go!" "Yes" The knights responded loudly, and followed Elder Song to kill Yanjiazhuang with their horses and whips.
