Chapter 2 It is rare to know friends and friends

In March of the fifth and sixth year of the Heruman calendar, the free city of Siam

The morning breeze was cool, and the dawn sky was a little hazy because of the thick clouds, and it seemed that today was not a good day for the people of Siam.

Again, the weather was not good for Reims. Tired all day, running around, now I just want to get into the quilt, cover my head and sleep, but there are still many things to consider, so I have to think quietly with red eyes.

Yesterday was really very upside down, I don't know how many times I was born and died, and I didn't even know where to lose the knife in the chaos, and it was really a big loss.

On the side, Youxue took out the simple cooking utensils from his backpack, got some dry wood to make a fire, and made breakfast. The Shet people are accustomed to wandering as their home, and these little skills have long been familiar with the family, only to see him cook bricks for tea, melt cheese into porridge, and make a few small snacks in a few clicks.

Gengoro followed, rolling up his sleeves to help. He had changed back into men's clothes by this time, and he looked even more handsome and flawless. Because there are no ready-made clothes, I have to borrow from Youxue, the Shet people are mostly short and fat, and Gengoro naturally doesn't fit on his body, but fortunately, the quality of the pants is special, and it is made of a kind of plant silk produced in the free city, which has a considerable degree of elasticity, and it is not a big joke for Gengoro to wear it.

The most vicious was Hanajiro, who had no intention of getting up to help, and lay on the ground with a loud snoring voice. Since last night's meeting, this person has either drunk or slept, and Lance can imagine this person's usual life, which is really rotten to the extreme.

Of all of them, the one that made Lance most wary was the sleeping pig in front of him. So far, the origin, identity, and intentions of this person are completely unknown. Gengoro Shang can explain that it is because he has nowhere to go and is grateful for the virtue of saving each other, so he follows his side.

But what is Hanajiro for? Although I don't know the depth of this person's martial arts, but looking at the lightsaber on his waist that proves the identity of a knight, how should he be stronger than himself, Lance really doesn't understand, what is this person following him for?

"Hey! "After all the things were finished, there was snow to say hello.

"It smells so good!" Hanajiro opened his eyes, grabbed it to the fire, took something and put it in his mouth.

"One bowl per person, don't grab it. ”

"It's not fair, why is that bowl bigger"

"That bowl is my ...... It's me who I want to honor my eldest brother. ”

Not hearing the turn in Yuxue's tone, Lance smiled, picked up the gruel and drank it, while looking at Hanajiro's appearance.

The appearance is quite handsome, and the age should not be very old, but it is a pity that there is a lack of heroic and upright masculinity, there is only drunkenness due to alcohol in both eyes, and the dress is sloppy, except for the lightsaber, there is nothing valuable to be found on the whole body, obviously life is down, but the look is very haggard and languishing, but it does not look like a bad person. In that case, why did he come uninvited like a fart?

"Big brother, what are your plans for the future?" The gruel at the bottom of the bowl was empty, and Gengoro put down the bowl and asked out loud.

Youxue nodded yes: "Yes, big brother, look at our guy, we have no money, we have no food, we are all sloppy, it's really fucking shabby, and we can't last a few days if we go on like this." ”

Lance was silent, but glanced at Kajiro.

Hanajiro understood, snorted twice, and said, "Brother, I'll introduce myself, my surname is Hana, Xinger, my friends have a nickname, Hanajiro ......"

Before he finished speaking, Youxue interjected halfway, "Your surname is Hua, what does it have to do with the Chang'an Hua family." ”

Hanajiro was stunned for a moment, and said with a smile: "Brother, I'm not in the gang, I'm not in the gang, I'm not in the club, and the three rivers and five lakes have no name." It's just an unsightly little role in the outer door of the Hua family, not worth mentioning, not worth mentioning. "Just said it softly.

Lance asked, "What Chang'an Flower Family?" As soon as these words came out, Hanajiro and Gengoro both opened their eyes wide, as if they had seen something incredible.

Youxue had an experience, and hurriedly relieved Lance, saying: "The Hei Lu Man Flower Family, one of the seven major sects, has a saying: 'Pearl Saddle, Light Horse, See All Chang'an Flowers in One Day', which refers to the Hei Lu Man's Chang'an Flower Family. ”

After the Kyushu War, the seven major sects took advantage of the rise of the situation, each dominating one side, among them, the Hua family to open a ranch, sell good horses and get rich, its head of the family is more ambitious, will invest a huge amount of wealth in the use, hire masters, educate the children of the clan, and achieve the cycle of superiority with talents, such as several generations, the Hua family is prosperous, squeezed into the ranks of the seven major sects in the world, and is located in the southwest of Heiluman.

Hua family horses, famous all over the world, and Hua family martial arts, but also for light skills, leg method is famous in the continent of the wind, in view of the flower family is powerful, the world surname Hua people, all try to climb the relationship, fortunately when walking the rivers and lakes to benefit a lot.

However, according to the ancestral rules, the Hua family has been divided into long doors and side branches in successive dynasties, and the children of the Hua family in the side branches have been passed down for two generations, and they are no longer named according to the family tree, and they are not the so-called Hua family. The children of the younger generation of the Hua family are all "wind" generations, and Hanajiro doesn't even have a family name, so he is naturally a little person who has already removed his name from the family tree.

Hanajiro said: "Brother, what about me! Grandma doesn't hurt, uncle doesn't love, born with poor qualifications, not good at learning, relying on a few sets of three-legged cat martial arts, wandering the world and living so far, it's also an interesting thing." ”

Lance's face turned red when he heard this, although Hanajiro was self-deprecating, but how could he not be like this, he didn't succeed in martial arts, and hurriedly roamed the rivers and lakes, wanting to get ahead, and being able to survive so far is not only an interesting thing, but a miracle.

"As for my brother, why am I here? Hanajiro laughed twice, glanced at Gengoro, looked embarrassed, and said with a smile: "It's funny, yesterday in the restaurant, brother, I saw this Goro...... Hehe, Brother Goro, that one is really beautiful, and I was fascinated by it, so I followed in a daze, wanting to kiss the beauty Fangze, who knows......"

Lance and Youxue glanced at each other, and they all nodded, thinking to themselves that Gengoro, who was in women's clothing, that appearance was indeed stunning in the world, and it was no wonder that Hanajiro saw it, and he followed him stupidly.

It's not wrong to think about it, Lance vaguely remembers that from last night to now, Hanajiro's eyes have always glanced at Gengoro intentionally or unintentionally, so this person is really ...... Hmm! It's really a dangerous person, I'm not in that circle, it's better to stay away from them. Thinking like this, Lance unconsciously moved backwards.

That's it, and I followed. I'm not afraid to say that I know with everyone that the younger brother's martial arts are half-toned, and if he is not high or low, he can only rely on this guy to cheat some food. Raising the lightsaber in his hand, Hanajiro said: "The recent years have not been good, and I can't do anything, but I happened to hear the ambitions of several people, so I came to join a partnership with a cheeky skin, hoping to conspire for a career." As he spoke, he shook his length.

Lance returned the favor, but in his heart he was thinking about the truth of these words.

Whether Hanajiro's words are true or not, only he knows. If it's true, then he's a big womanizer, and if it's fake, he's not afraid, anyway, his gang is poor and white, and he doesn't have to worry about being plotted at all.

"Besides......" Lance glanced at Youxue, who was screaming that he couldn't get enough to eat. If you want to talk about not being trusted, is there anything worse on this continent than the Shett Ball?

Anyway, it's four people right now. A thief, a knight, a shetter, a ...... Uh! shemales, as much as you want to look at horizontally and vertically, this doesn't look like a head-to-head combat power, but it's a group anyway, and it has at least the ability to act.

Once the group was formed, Lance's brain moved quickly, and in the days after leaving Hangzhou, he was not idle, on the contrary, by directing many plundering operations, Lance began to learn to plan and then act, and in the process of gathering comrades, organizing troops, and directing plunder, this man found that he had a certain level of leadership talent, in other words, he was quite able to formulate a suitable general direction according to the characteristics of the group.

From the point of view of constituting combat power, Gengoro and Yuxue are just two bags of giant garbage, and it is impossible to help them in actual combat, but, on the other hand, Gengoro's beauty may be able to play a role in seducing enemies and spying on intelligence, and the shetter's extensive knowledge is also a rare help. Both of them have great potential.

And the main combat power is on himself and Hanajiro.

"But it won't work......" Lance muttered to himself.

Regardless of whether Hanajiro is trustworthy or not, even if he really goes all out, plus himself, he is only equivalent to the strength of a C-rank knight, and there is no possibility of a hard encounter.

If it is a robbery of the countryside, there may be hope, but unfortunately this is a free city, the city garrison has a considerable level, if it is rashly robbed, I am afraid that my feet have not stepped out of the main gate of suffering, and the garrison will be arrested alive, and then I will be asked who is the mastermind, this Shet is talking about Hu Tianhu, and his little head has a good chance to say goodbye to the body.

As for robbing rich merchants, it is even more Hughti, in this troubled times, which rich man does not hire a large number of people as bodyguards, among which there should also be knight-level figures, although Siam is not a prosperous capital, but on the other hand, it is already the sphere of influence of the Oriental family, maybe there are masters in ambush, every move has to be careful.

Youxue kept saying that he wanted to commit a big case, but with his current strength, he was not enough to make any good plans, and he was not familiar with the humanities of Siam City, and he didn't know the number of fat sheep, so he naturally couldn't find a target.

Alas, when it comes to fat sheep, what fat sheep have fattened the team yesterday, rich people are really evil, those jade boxes, just give yourself a mouthful...... No, half a mouthful is enough, I'm afraid there will be a few years of happy life, no wonder the robbers yesterday came one after another, and all of them seemed to go crazy.

Thinking of the jewels of the jade chest, Lance couldn't help but swallow the foam, he had been a thief for many months, and had seen some gold, silver and jewelry, but he had never thought that there was such a luxurious scenery in the world.

"Hey, to be able to plunder these treasures, this is what the big husband does, and robbing the house is just a third-rate thief, just like pretending to be a family wine, which is not worth mentioning at all. Lance couldn't help but have such thoughts, but thinking of the amazing martial arts of the Dongfang master's one move to suppress the audience, and the embarrassment of fleeing with his life, he still felt palpitations at this moment. That fat sheep pretended to be a pig and ate a tiger, and he couldn't swallow it anymore.

"Moreover, at this time, the team should have been on the road a long time ago, and it was too late to catch up. "For yesterday's trouble, this welcoming team must speed up and enter the hinterland of the Dongfang family as soon as possible, with the strength of the Dongfang family, at that time, it was to borrow courage from the sky, and no one dared to pluck the feathers in the tiger's mouth.

This fat sheep has gone, and he has to find another fat sheep in Siam City, but how to find it? Lance was distressed by this, originally the purpose of his trip was purely reconnaissance, and it was really unwise to make more trouble, which he himself knew, but somehow there was a desire in his heart to do something on his own, to prove that he could make a difference without relying on the group, and show his face well.

"So, if you can get something and go back, that's ideal. "That's what Reims thinks.

But many things don't come to mind just by thinking about them. Lance pondered while glancing at the group of unreliable companions, but saw that Yuxue had already chatted with Hanajiro without a word, and the content was all windy and snowy, and it was not a good word, which was a common disease of male animals, regardless of race.

"Damn, how come it seems that I'm the only one really using my brain, is this the sad fate of the leader?" Lance was a little angry at the futility of his efforts, but there was also a bit of pride in being a "leader" in his anger.

"Big brother. Gengoro walked to his side at some point and said with a smile: "Just thinking about it here, you can't think of the result for a hundred years, so let's go into the city and have a look!"

Surprisingly, Lance discovers that Gengoro has a pair of good-looking and deep eyes, and in them, there is a certain brilliance of wisdom that convinces people.

Lance said, "That's right, it's better to get up and walk than to sit." ”

Standing up, Lance loudly announced the direction of his group of thieves, and went into the city.

The city gate is no different from yesterday, but the vigilance has increased significantly, and there are twice as many guards as usual, interrogating and checking pedestrians at the city gate.

"What's going on, what's going on in the city again?"

"I don't know, maybe it's the aftermath of yesterday's riot. ”

Lance nodded, Youxue's explanation was the only possibility at present, and as for the new information, it would have to be collected after entering the city.

In view of the brawl with the garrison at the city gate yesterday, Lance took a fake mustache and glued it to his face, disguised as a bearded man who could be seen everywhere. He hadn't slept all night, his eyes were bloodshot, and he was very haggard, and when he dressed up like this, he was even more devastated, very much like a fugitive who had traveled thousands of miles.

According to the rules of the Shet people, when you see someone else dressed up, you have to praise it indiscriminately. Youxue preemptively praised: "Wow, big brother, you are really capable of everything, a natural hero, no matter how you dress up, you have a heroic spirit, I can't imagine that after you cover most of your face with your beard, your appearance is even more powerful, it really makes the little brother ......."

"Wait a minute!"

"What do you command, big brother?"

"You say, I look good when I cover most of my face. Lance rolled his eyes and said, "Then what do you mean is that Uncle Ben is ugly, so it is better to simply cover his face so as not to be scary, right?"

"Ahh......h This ......" You Xue was stunned for a while, and then he thought that the horse's fart was slapped on the horse's foot, and before he had time to correct it, he had been punched on the head by Lance.

Seeing this scene, Gengoro just smiled. In fact, their gang, Hanjiro is not repaired, there is a snow shape and obsceneness, the sludge on Lance's body is not exhausted, and he is wearing ill-fitting clothes, it can be said that they are all ragged, straight like refugees, shabby and embarrassed, how can they be powerful.

Hanajiro didn't say anything else, just poured himself into the wine. Ever since he appeared last night, he had been drunk and indifferent to other matters, and one could not help but wonder if he would die drunk before he was killed by the enemy's sword.

The four of them passed through the city gate in turn, and the garrison questioned them one by one, and when they arrived at Reims, the garrison glanced at him, and before he could ask questions, his face suddenly changed greatly, and he ran to his companions.

Lance was very surprised, he was very familiar with the guard's eyes, and with professional intuition, Lance certainly knew that it was the eyes of the prisoner.

Youxue approached and asked in a low voice, "Big brother, what's going on, it can't be a case!"

"I'm weird too. Lance replied vaguely. In fact, he himself was very surprised, in the past few months, he had committed some robberies, but they were all on the border of Herumman, which was 108,000 miles away from here, and the scale was only limited to local thieves, so he would not be wanted by the world!

Besides, in order to avoid this kind of trouble, he also put on makeup, and there is no reason to be recognized, why this garrison seems to have seen a Jiangyang thief when he sees him, which is really puzzling.

Gengoro said: "Big brother, I don't think the situation is quite right, get out as soon as possible!"

Lance nodded, "That's right, everyone hurry up and enter the city." As he spoke, he pulled through the snow and didn't give him a chance to shout. The Shet has a bad record, and if he suddenly exerts his national inferiority, the consequences will be terrible.

Hanajiro muttered, "It's just a group of city guards, what's there to be afraid of, retreating is an insult to the knights!" But because the non-knights in the group were the majority, the drunken knight had no choice but to sneak away.

The four of them crept out of the city gate in the crowd out of the city, and when Xue turned back to see that no one else was chasing after him, he let out a long sigh of relief.

"Uh...... Probably because we're too sensitive!" Lance snorted and was about to speak, when he heard a dull loud noise behind him, and the rope valve was pulled on the castle tower, and the two gates slowly closed. The people who had already entered the city were driven around, and the people who had not yet had time to enter the city shouted loudly, trying to take advantage of the gap to squeeze in, but the soldiers were blocked from the door, and the situation became a mess.

Things happened suddenly, Lance's brain couldn't turn for a while, and he wanted to be glad that he was moving fast and entered the city early, Gengoro whispered beside him: "Oh no, big brother, this is catching turtles in the urn!"

Lance replied casually: "What kind of urn to catch a turtle?" Halfway through speaking, he realized that the other party must be afraid that he would not be able to capture it, but he would escape from the city for himself, and it was not easy to catch it, so he deliberately let himself into the city, and then closed the city gate, cutting off the back road, so as to have a "bag to get something".

As soon as he figured this out, Ranksden shouted that it was not good, and said, "No, everyone run, the officers and soldiers are coming soon." Having said that, Lance still couldn't figure out what kind of big case he had done to make such a fuss.

The four of them rushed away, not running a few streets, and just ran to the middle of an intersection, only to hear a whistle, the sound of people and horses, dozens of garrisons rushed out from the end of the street, and the tide seemed to surge.

"Catch the thief. ”

"Don't go away from the thief, and catch a lot of rewards. ”

"Be careful, the boss said that this thief's martial arts are powerful, don't let him run away. ”

In the shouting and cheering, the four people had been surrounded from afar, trapped in the center, and the garrison seemed to be afraid of the four of them counterattacking, and did not squeeze in at once, but slowly approached. Youxue had a frightened face, pushed Lance, and said, "Boss, why do you usually do such a deal?"

Lance said, "Don't talk nonsense, this has nothing to do with me. "Uncle Lance is only blocking the road and robbing at most, as for the abduction of women, although he has thought about it several times on weekdays, but because he is closely watched, he doesn't even have the opportunity to touch his hands, so how can he say that he is a thief.

It's not me, and of course it won't be the Sheter, so the most likely person is ......? Without waiting for Lance to speak, Hanajiro took a sip of wine from the gourd, glanced at Lance, and said coldly, "It's not me." ”

"It's not you. It's not me, and it can't be this cat's eye. Lance slapped his palm and said, "Gorou, you are honest, don't bother the brothers, have you ever committed adultery with a woman from a good family?"

Gengoro was stunned for a moment, and was not sure how to answer, when a snow monster shouted: "Big brother, don't be joking, you can also rape a woman from a good family with Goro's appearance?"

On the side, Hanajiro laughed secretly in his heart, Gengoro's weak appearance of powerlessness, no one really believed that he was a thief, but it was the handsome face that was born beautiful, saying that there was a woman in his arms, which was not unusual at all.

Because the charges are too suspicious, the four of them are a little lacking in reality of the fact that they are surrounded, you and I get rid of the crime, but fortunately, the garrison seems to be very scruples about them, although they are surrounded, but they dare not advance, which gives the four of them time to sing a double reed.

Youxue muttered: "It's nerve-wracking, as soon as you enter the city, you will be fenced off, this is not good for the teacher!"

"Big brothers, I don't know what crime we have committed, so hard to move the crowd!" Lance started his previous negotiation efforts, while talking nonsense, while observing the route that could escape, "If you want to catch the thief, then first arrest the fat man next to you, he is a Sheter, the Sheter has always been lustful, the lewd thief you are looking for must be him......"

"Shameless thief, still talking nonsense. A leading official came out of the crowd, but deliberately kept a considerable distance, obviously afraid of the martial arts of Lance and his party, he said sharply: "You shameless thief, last month in Reyns broke the name of thirty-three daughters, and in broad daylight, robbed seven wealthy businessmen one after another, the crime is heinous, Reins specially issued a wanted document, asking the four states to join forces to arrest ......" As he spoke, his hand was raised, and it was a clear image of the sea fishing document.

On the Bao Wen, the name of the bandit is written in three large characters, "Liu Yidao"; the word "bandit" is also approved with a red pen at the top, and under it is a dense collection of small books with fly's heads, explaining the crimes of the bandits, and at the end it is also marked with a heavyweight reward of "500 gold coins." And under the text, an image of a bearded man, with a tiger's back and a bear's waist, looking forward to it, seems to be very powerful, and there is a kind of arrogance that does not care.

And that's exactly what Lance looks like now.

"How...... How could such a thing happen......!"

Lance was almost dumbfounded. He wore a fake beard in order to hide his appearance, but he would have caused such trouble, and even better, the charm of the person in the image was vivid, completely the epitome of his usual life, and at this moment he took off his beard, but no one would believe that it was not the same person.

Looking at the other three partners, Lance sighed for no reason, not "just afraid", but 100% sure. The portrait is even more strange, the eyes of the person in the painting, somehow it looks very evil, anyone who sees it will think that this is a great traitor, this is to teach yourself a hundred words, although acquaintances can see the difference at a glance, but this is where to find acquaintances.

", how can there really be such a coincidence in the world?" Lance cried out in his heart, knowing that a hard battle would inevitably be unlucky, so he was in a hurry at the moment and planned a way to get out. There doesn't seem to be a knight-level character in the opposing camp, so it's no wonder that this is an agricultural city...... Well, if there are just a lot of people, there is hope that they should escape......

"Liu Yidao, don't be confident that your martial arts are strong, Reyns can't catch you after several encirclements and suppressions, and I'll tell you honestly, I'm not a ...... in a free city."

The official said a lot of miscellaneous things, and suddenly realized that the announcement said that Liu Yidao was a first-class master, and he had escaped the pursuit net of the Reyns government several times, and his martial arts were very powerful, otherwise he would not have needed a heavy reward of five hundred gold coins.

The armament of the free city is uneven, Siam is an agricultural city, there are really not many masters, all rely on the back of the Oriental family, in other words, with such a small number of troops, if you want to arrest him, it is not a self-defeating way.

At this thought, the official's back immediately broke out in a cold sweat, but when he looked at Lance carefully, he was sure in his heart. Although Liu Yidao's martial arts expertise is not explicitly stated in the official document, since even the name is called "Yidao", of course Er is a master of using a knife, and the person in front of him is thinly clothed and does not have weapons, and his kung fu is at least half gone;

As the saying goes: 'The tiger falls in Pingyang and is bullied by dogs, and heroes also have times when they are in trouble', these four people must have traveled thousands of miles to escape pursuit, and they lost half their lives early, and maybe there are assassinations on their bodies...... This...... It's a no-brainer. ”

The bandits became a great credit for falling from the sky, and the officials were overjoyed and shouted, "What are you waiting for, quickly take these four people down for me." The garrison responded, brandishing their swords and rushing towards Lance.

"Oops, the enemy is coming, and the plan hasn't come up yet, how can it be good?" Lance was in a hurry, Youxue leaned over and said in a low voice: "Big brother, you are our dragon leader, you are delicate and expensive, you must not lose, we will do our best to protect you and rush out later." ”

Lance was stunned when he heard this, obviously not expecting this Sheter to be so righteous. Youxue said again: "Big brother, the younger brother has a few secret recipe smoke bombs, which are very effective, wait a minute, I will throw the smoke bombs, while the smoke is everywhere, the four of us will go east side by side, concentrate our strength, and we will definitely be able to send the eldest brother out." ”

Gengoro said: "Yes, big brother, if you lose, we will be leaderless, please take care of yourself first!" As he spoke, he beckoned to Hanajiro and said, "Second Brother Hana, you have no opinion!" Hanajiro snorted and said coldly, "I don't have any opinion on what most people decide." ”

Lance was greatly moved, and could not have imagined that this group of newly made companions could be so self-sacrificing in times of crisis. Such a good partner, if he left them and left, wouldn't it be better than a pig and a dog.

Seeing that Lance was hesitant, Gengoro said, "Big brother, make a decision immediately! Their target is only you, as long as you escape, the garrison will disperse, and they will not do anything to us." Everyone knew that this was a lie, and the garrison took the four of them as accomplices, and left Lance, just to arrest the three of them to reach the account, how could they disperse because the first offender was not there, but Gengoro's voice was full of sincerity when he spoke, and it was completely out of sincerity, which moved Lance almost to tears.

Youxue hurriedly said: "Big brother, hurry up and decide, the garrison is coming over, and it will be too late if you don't leave." It's one by one. ”

Seeing that the situation was critical, Lance did not make a decision, but failed to live up to the hearts of his companions, and immediately patted the two of them on the shoulder, and said: "Okay, sure enough, you are a group of good brothers who are loyal and brave, today I bear the burden of humiliation, as long as there is a breath of air, I will definitely come back to save you." He didn't expect that if these people were killed on the spot later, then the only thing he could do was to collect the corpses.

Watching the three of them make a generous statement, Hanajiro was noncommittal, just shook his head slightly, lifted the wine gourd and took another big sip-

The garrison approached closer and closer, and Youxue whispered: "Smoke together, everyone go all out to the east street!"

The smoke screen with snow is very strange, although it is only a small grain, but the smoke emitted after detonation is unexpectedly large, not only many, but also spreads very fast, the wind does not disperse, and the wind follows the wind, and in the blink of an eye, the whole street is enveloped. With such a miraculous effect, I am afraid that it is a life-saving treasure developed by the Shet people in the history of blood and tears for thousands of years.

In the smoke screen, everyone stretched out their fingers and couldn't see their fingers, panic and noise rang out in unison, screams resonated with the sound of splitting the wind, the team was in chaos, and the predecessors kicked the latter, and immediately became a mess.

Lance was also taken aback by the miracle effect of the smoke screen, but he finally remembered the original plan, and the smoke came together, and he immediately rushed east, picking up a wooden stick that he had seen in advance, and wielding it as a club, to make a way before the smoke screen dispersed.

Although he danced in a hurry, he didn't dare to move too fast. The smoke screen with snow rose from Taiqi, and to his surprise, he rushed to the east alone, and he didn't know if the remaining three people had followed.

Rushed forward for a distance, and it seemed that a few people had been knocked down in the chaos, and the distance between the streets was limited, and seeing that he was about to get out of the encirclement, Lance couldn't help but rejoice, and whispered: "A few boys, are you all there?"

With the smoke screen on the stick, a cold snort came from the left, which seemed to be sent by Hanajiro, and Gengoro answered vaguely behind him, Lance was overjoyed, and suddenly heard a long scream from behind, "Big brother...... Gorou ...... Hurry up...... Leave me alone...... Ah!" The voice was far away, and if it was intermittent, it was a little indistinct, but the fact that the one who spoke it had suffered was self-evident.

Lance felt a pain in his heart, "Poor little Shet, he has died heroically", although they have only known each other for a day, but he treats himself really well, and when he is in trouble, he first goes to righteousness generously, and he bullies him in every way, and has always worried that he will defect, and now I think about it, it really shouldn't be.

"Poor snow, you will live in my heart forever. Although it was a Sheter, it was the first time that a companion had died since Lance's debut, and at this time, the mood was mixed, chagrin and sadness, Lance was so distracted that he forgot to pay attention to the movement in front of him while running.

"Damn Liu Yidao, take your life quickly. "At the end of the smoke screen, someone guarded the street entrance in advance, and in a flash of lightning, a lightsaber had been cut straight down.

"Oh! How can there be a knight. Lance exclaimed, tilted his head sideways, trying to avoid this imminent move, but the distance was too close, and the opponent's movements were too fast, and he couldn't dodge, and he was about to be hit by the sword.

"It's miserable, if you don't die, you have half a life...... Huh!"

It was too late, it was too fast, Lance retreated sharply, as if he had bumped into someone, and a true qi suddenly penetrated from the large vertebral point behind his back, along the spine, straight to the spring point on the sole of his foot, and then burst out from his right foot, kicking his foot, and breaking the ground within a radius of three feet. The strength spread through the earth, only to hear the muffled snort of the knight on the other side, and the lightsaber was taken off, obviously suffering a big loss.

Seeing that the lightsade was about to land, there was a lot to pick up, so he hurriedly grabbed it, and at this time, another latent energy surged from the ground, and the whole shock was on the soles of Lance's feet, and the strength was so great that he lifted his whole person off the ground, passed through the encirclement network, and flew out of the air like a cloud.

"Liu Yidao is on the east side. ”

Liu Yidao escaped with light skills. ”

"Chase, don't let that thief go. ”

Although the long street was filled with smoke, under the blue sky and white sun, there were many people who saw Lance soaring out of the sky, which immediately caused another burst of exclamation. I saw that the Lance people were in the air, their hands and feet kept dancing, as if paddling, and people who didn't know how to reason thought that "Liu Yidao" was performing a unique light skill, but even he himself was shocked and inexplicable.

The commotion here has not stopped, and there is chaos again.

"There's a break in to the west. ”

"A thief has slipped away from the west. ”

"It's the Sheters. ”

"Fuck, that damn Shet slipped away from the west. ”

"Alas, it's a trick, it's a plan to attack the west!"

Two people were taken away in a row, and the morale of the garrison was greatly damaged, and they were all surprised by the first-class methods of the Jiangyang thieves.

In the smoke screen, Hanajiro sneered slightly, if this is a plan to attack the west, then what should he be if he is still on the street?

It's an outcast!

Bingran, soon heard another call, "Don't let go of the remaining two, you must see people in life, and you must see corpses in death." ”

"If you see a corpse, if you have the ability, you can see it!" Hanajiro muttered to himself. The two of them left, in other words, the ones who remained on the street were themselves and Gengoro. This is very good, the idle people are all gone, it is a good time to make a move to check that person's pounds, this is the original purpose, for this, and that ridiculous guy fooled around for a long time, what a waste of time.

β‰₯ Buddha locked on to Gengoro's location early in the morning, and Hanajiro walked around, not affected by the smoke at all.

Gengoro's luck is not good, although he also learned to tiptoe to walk, but he didn't take two steps before he bumped into someone, three garrisons chased him and beat him, Gengoro dodged left and right in the shadow of the sword and sword, shouting and screaming, and the situation was extremely embarrassing.

"Oh, save peopleβ€”"

"Goro?"

"Is it the second brother? Save the life of the younger brother. ”

"Okay, isn't this coming!"

As he spoke, the lightsaber cut through the smoke screen. Before the sword arrived, the cold sword aura was like a substance, enveloping Gengoro in it.

"Second brother, you stabbed the wrong ......" stopped abruptly halfway through. Hanajiro's sword, the momentum is extremely tricky and weird, stabbing halfway, the speed suddenly increased incredibly, like a poisonous snake that burst out and hurt people, and with a flash of lightning, it was already in front of him.

This sword can be said to be the essence of the Hainan Fox Sword School, there is no other powerful aftermath, just rely on a simple fast sword to control the enemy, but because it is almost at the peak, the enemy is unavoidable, Fang saw that the sword light was cut off by the sharp blade, and there was no need for the rest to complement each other. Just a "fast" word, as long as it is played to the peak, it will also have an amazing effect, and those who can use such fast swords, even within the Fox Sword Sect, there are not five people.

The one who can wield such a sword, of course, can't just be a C-rank knight!

Hanajiro is looking forward to the response he will face. For some unknown reason, Hanajiro was very interested in Gengoro's origins, so he followed him and kept looking for an opportunity to test it, and after waiting for a night, this opportunity finally came.

To escape under this sword, one must be a special knight or higher. And judging from the results of a certain incident, Hanajiro is confident that the probability of Gengoro escaping this sword is as high as ninety percent, but whether he is blocking, dodging, or using his protective true qi to connect, he will inevitably expose his martial arts origins, and he will be able to get the answer he wants.

"Ahh

The sword light disappeared in the smoke, and Gengoro let out a long scream, as if he had been stabbed in the vital point and killed on the spot.

It was Hanajiro who was taken aback. There is indeed a feeling of stabbing something in his hand, and it is possible that Gengoro is really so bad, and he gave the account with one move.

"Could it be that he really doesn't know martial arts...... is still below the special level of martial arts, but he clearly ...... "Hua Jiro was confused, and he couldn't help but regret that he used the fast sword of the Fox Sword School, and stabbed the opponent to death with one sword, and there was no other information to judge the martial arts level."

"Wait, the touch just now is a little wrong...... "My swordsmanship has reached the realm of sending and receiving from the heart, all unsatisfactory, thinking about it carefully, the moment the lightsade touched the object just now, the touch was a little abnormal, could it be strange?

As he was suspicious, an alarm appeared in the back of his head, and Hanajiro didn't look back, and his lightssaber swung out with his backhand, intersecting with the enemy's blade, and sparks flew everywhere. Hanajiro was shocked in his heart, the force on his arm was extraordinary, it was definitely not an ordinary sword, but other heavy weapons.

"It's not a lightsaber, it's a physical weapon, what could it be......" Hanajiro's mind flickered, and he suddenly remembered something, and shouted that it was not good, "It's not good, it's the good hand of the Dongfang family." ”

Looking back from the corner of his eye, he saw a small volley with a red handle, which was the unique weapon of the Dongfang family in the famous mainland, and the user must be a good hand of the Dongfang family.

"It's nerve-wracking, it's troublesome!" In the smoke, Hanajiro swung his lightsaber and exchanged hands with the newly joined enemy. With his swordsmanship, he is not afraid of three or five good hands, but if the smoke clears and people can see his appearance clearly, then he Hanajiro is tantamount to forming a bond with the Oriental family, and the end is endless.

"Do you want to get away with the smoke? No, it's important to get down to business first. "Gengoro stabbed him to death with a sword, this matter is not right, I still have to look at the corpse. The lightsaber entangled the opponent's dwarf, and Hanajiro took the opportunity to take two steps back, retreated to the ground where Gengoro was lying on the ground, and reached out to probe.

After a look, Hanajiro was immediately so angry that he scolded himself for being a stupid bird. A man on the ground was lying on the ground, his shoulder blades pierced by a lightsaber, he had already fainted in pain, foaming at the mouth, wearing the uniform of the garrison, it seemed that he was a member of the garrison, but he didn't know how to transfer flowers and trees to people, and he came here to receive this sword.

"Now the three stinky thieves have run away, leaving me alone. Hey, what do you say brothers suffer together, it turns out that this is such a method of suffering. ”

Annoyed, Hanajiro couldn't help but laugh, and one of them was even more shocked. With his own cultivation in the way of the sword, although he does not dare to claim to be a god, he also has a certain degree of mental locking on the target of the move when he comes out of the sword, making it difficult for him to escape.

And Gengoro stole the sky and changed the sun and turned the dragon into the phoenix at such a close distance, and he didn't realize that this ability was more difficult than standing and receiving his own sword.

Hanajiro smiled bitterly: "Good guy, it's really a ruthless character!" However, only such an opponent is a little interesting, and he has been bored for a while.

The smoke has begun to dissipate, now that the facts have been confirmed, Hanajiro made two false moves, and wanted to take advantage of the smoke screen before it was exhausted, and retreated, but unexpectedly, the other party also discovered this intention, and shouted violently, "Come when you say it, go when you say it, you can't help but underestimate my Oriental family", at the same time, a blazing fire power shook through the dwarf, the dwarf on the tongue of fire was violent, the flames were flying, the lightsaber had not yet touched, and the energy blade was shattered to pieces, and the army could not be formed.

"This little bit of effort dares to be able in front of me. The corner of Hanajiro's mouth sneered, but the hilt of the sword in his hand had already been shaken to the point of disintegration, and it was about to shatter. Although it is a miscellaneous lightsaber bought on the street, the other party can shatter it purely with internal strength, which shows that the other party's cultivation is also extraordinary.

"It's not that I look down on the Dongfang family, I just look down on you. Leaving down a cruel sentence that was enough to make the other party dizzy, Hanajiro unfolded his mysterious technique, and the sword momentum that had collapsed suddenly became illusory and uncertain, like a fog of five miles, wrapping the fire in clusters, and the momentum was greatly reduced.

"Huh!" The opponent was surprised, obviously he didn't expect Hanajiro to have such sword skills, and immediately wanted to improve his skills to reorganize the offensive. Hanajiro allowed him to intercept again, and said with a long smile: "Ordinary weapons are indeed not enough to withstand a master's blow, and if you don't win, you don't have to fight, so you don't have to accompany you!"

After speaking, his hand tightened, and the hilt of the sword exploded, turning into countless tiny fragments and exploding forward. But it was Hanajiro who blew up the lightsaber with his own internal force at the moment before it was about to disintegrate, and sent it out as a hidden weapon.

The smashed hilt of the sword was filled with true qi, which was tantamount to thousands of small hidden weapons, the momentum was sufficient, and at such a close distance, the axe master was also in a hurry, and had to withdraw the dwarf to defend himself, and at the same time raise the fire of the body protection to the limit, and all the fragments were shaken open and incinerated.

With a round of swings, the fragments were finally destroyed, and the axe-wielding master felt a few slight pains on his body, but he still hit the body of the fish that slipped through the net. And Hanajiro took advantage of the fact that the other party was busy resisting, like a dragon, broke through the fog, and kicked on the nearby roof, and disappeared in an instant.

"Drink!"

The axe-wielding master shouted violently, and the fire of his whole body spread violently to all directions, and the garrison only felt a wave of heat hitting his body, and he couldn't breathe well, and the smoke that had not dispersed around him forced the fire to be extinguished, and disappeared without a trace.

When the smoke cleared, everyone's eyes lit up, but they saw a lean man standing in the middle of the street, with a very fierce look on his face, and he put his little dwarf back into his waist, his eyebrows furrowed, as if he was bothered by something.

Siam City is the family land of the East, and the officer of the garrison saw that the man was from the Oriental family, and if he saw his boss, he would come forward to flatter and worship, and suddenly remembered that if the other party was a person who did not eat the clichΓ©s of officialdom, and slapped his own sycophants on the horse's feet, it was very unbeautiful.

"Don't worry about it, these people are not something you can chase. The man said in a deep voice, "Even if you catch up, you will not be opponents." ”

Yes, there is a truth in martial arts that "one inch is short, one inch is dangerous", and the dwarf of the Dongfang family is the most conducive to hand-to-hand combat, once close to the side, the opponent of the lightsaber is often too close to the opponent and is not easy to use. However, in the hand just now, although the young knight had given himself close to his body, he still wielded a lightsaber freely, as sensitive as a swimming fish, winning the clouds, without any hindrance, and the high swordsmanship was indeed rare.

The last self-detonating lightsaber also shows that the opponent's internal strength is not under him, and the ingenuity of the adaptation is far more than that. Such opponents are so young, looking at the mainland's rising stars, there are only a handful.

"How could the famous sword of the Hua family appear here at this time? and why did he get mixed up with Liu Yidao?" Looking at the messy street scene after the battle, the man frowned and said, "Hey! Siam City has been troubled since then. ”

His body flew up like a cloud, and after a few streets, Lance felt that the latent strength of the soles of his feet was exhausted, and the whole person fell violently, just hitting the shed of a shop. Pierced through the shed, a bad posture, a "bang" sound, and fell on all fours.

"Ahh

"Damn it, Dai you are hiding people's eyes and ears, but Uncle Ben has become a wanted criminal. After scolding several times, Lance tucked his beard into his arms.

Looking at the back, it seems that there are no pursuers, and it is safe for the time being. Lance sighed and looked worriedly over the street. Although he escaped, his companions were still trapped in the encirclement, if he really walked away like this, would he still be human?

"Being so unrighteous is really a pig and a dog. Thinking of the Shet who might have chopped him into eight pieces, Lance felt even more gloomy. "I'm afraid, although I'm very afraid, but I can't be a man without righteousness, even if they have become strong and benevolent, I have to take care of the aftermath for them, do my best!"

Whether it was an upbringing from an early age, or it was natural instinct, or both, Lance put the rule of righteousness above all morality. In his concept, killing people and setting fire is nothing, because heroes and heroes are bound to kill, and as for burning, killing and robbing, it is not worth mentioning, because those who become great things act somewhat differently, and whoever doesn't like it will be slaughtered.

If you want to be a hero, you don't have to be too rigid about general morality, and sometimes you have to be more open, so you can do things by unscrupulous means, as long as the result is successful, all rights and wrongs can be reversed. There is only righteousness, if a person does not have righteousness, not only will he not be a hero, but he will not even be a man.

Such an idea may not be right, but it is the only belief that Lance has cultivated so far in the law of the law of survival of the law of the jungle. He still remembers that since he was a child, whenever he was full of wine and food, the old man always said: "Those who achieve great things do everything" and "The bird knows the ambition of the bird", but on the other hand, he scolded his brother for being unrighteous and despicable.

The old man's frenzied expression at that time is still clear in his eyes, and Lance remembers that every time the old man vented his anger, he was depressed for three or five days, which showed the huge impact of the matter. However, perhaps even Lance himself did not understand that if the impact was far-reaching, witnessing that scene had a more profound impact on his life.

With that in mind, Lance plans to sneak back to the battlefield to see what is going on, and if he's lucky, he might be able to help. Fang was about to move, but there was a voice from behind, but it was he who broke the canopy of the shopkeeper, and the shopkeeper came out to investigate.

"Wow, what's going on?"

"It's none of your business. Lance replied angrily.

"Wow! "It turned out that the shop was a noodle shop, and there were a few deserted guards eating in it, and when they saw Lance, they were all nervous and ready to use their weapons.

"I ...... I'm not Liu Yidao. Finally seizing the opportunity, Lance argued, "You see, he has a beard, and I don't." ”

The garrison looked at each other and rebuked, "Still talking nonsense, won't there be no shave?"

There were no knights among these people, and Lance thought to himself that it would not be difficult to finish them off, but if the time dragged on and attracted a large number of people, it would be very bad, and at this time, it would only increase the trouble.

With a wave of the handle, Lance pulled his legs and ran. The garrisons were all stunned, it stands to reason that they are the weaker side, even if they call their companions to encircle and suppress them, they may not be able to trap Liu Yidao, and fifty ordinary people are not as good as a D-class knight, this is common sense, not to mention that it is a bandit like Liu Yidao, who thought that he would take the initiative to escape, and was overjoyed, and instinctively chased after him.

It stands to reason that since there is a huge disparity in strength between each other, the garrison should not dare to catch up, but Lance's "Liu Yidao" is too cowardly, without any mastery, so that everyone has the illusion that "he must be seriously injured, and the tiger falls in Pingyang", and the reward from Reines is too heavy, and 500 gold coins is already astronomical wealth for the small people of Shengdou.

"Wow! ”

"Don't let Liu Yidao run away. ”

"Five hundred gold coins, wahahaha, Lao Tzu is rich!"

β‰₯ Buddha celebration generally, more and more people participated, to the end, Lance ran in front of the lifeless, but there were nearly 100 people in the rear in hot pursuit, in addition to the garrison, there are also some people who came to the rivers and lakes, and even ordinary people, holding vegetable baskets, kitchen knives, want to get a piece of the pie, a head is worth 500 gold coins, if you cut off a finger, you can also be beautiful for a few years!

"Damn, which way is this Liu Yidao mixed in, how did he make so many enemies, and all kinds of demons and monsters are chasing him. As the one being chased, Lance lamented in his heart.

Run by yourself, others chase, not only did the chasing people not get rid of them, but more and more, if they continue like this, they will be tired to death, and they must be thrown off as soon as possible. The problem is that if you are more familiar with the terrain, you can't compare to these native-born Siamese people at all, and now it is impossible to turn around and kill, so how to get rid of it.

"Hey, if you are poor, you will change, and if you can't find a place to get rid of people, then change to a place where people dare not chase. "As he ran, Lance had an idea that even he thought was ridiculous.

The people who were chasing Lance chased through a few alleys, only to see Lance suddenly accelerate, widen the distance between him and everyone, and disappear at the end of the street. The crowd was surprised, and hurriedly sped up to catch it, but when they ran to the end of the street, they saw the figure on the opposite side flickering, and then disappeared.

"Damn, I don't believe he is so good at running, he must still be around here, everyone will work together to find out this thief and receive a reward...... No, it's to eliminate harm, don't let him run away. A knife-wielding man raised his arms in the hope of a response, only to find that the response was unexpectedly low, and the Siamese locals, including the garrison, were silent.

The man said, "What...... What's wrong?" In the silence, there was a palpitating horror, which was not an adjective, because more than half of the people did have a look of extreme fear on their faces.

The man looked around, in the direction of Reims's disappearance, not far away, there was an old wall, the painting on the wall, you can see the once gorgeous, but now the vines, moss thick coating, has been dilapidated, the area of the wall is very wide, the trees planted behind it have become a dense forest shade, you can't see the scenery behind the wall, but you can vaguely see the shadow of the Oriental building, it seems, behind the wall is a ruined garden.

"This ...... Could it be ......" Realizing that the atmosphere was strange, and remembering a certain legend that had been circulating, the man's voice trembled.

He also once heard people mention that in the city of Siam, there is a ruined garden of the Shen family, since it was deserted, it has been occupied by the small house in the city, and countless unjust cases have occurred, some people hang themselves in it, some people trade in the garden, and they give black food and black corpses, some people bury infant corpses in the garden to practice evil methods, and some women are raped and killed...... I don't know when the news of the haunting came out of the abandoned garden.

A group of gangsters who met in the park to trade were attacked by foreign objects and died tragically in the garden, and the reason why they were found was because one of them had climbed over the wall while desperately escaping, but he still couldn't escape the disaster of death, and died tragically on the wall, and was found by passers-by the next day with only half of his body.

After that, all kinds of strange sounds were heard from time to time in the abandoned garden, the owl roared in the early morning, the ghosts cried in the night, and all kinds of tragedies were also heard from time to time, and the name of the ghost spread far and wide. The most famous example is the fast-legged prayer of a quick leg who made a bet with someone three years ago to test his courage, and his body was found hanging on the old tree in the abandoned garden, and his dead eyes turned into two deep blood holes.

In the end, is the ghost of the abandoned garden a man or a woman, is it old or young? No one can give a definite answer, hundreds of theories, in the whispering rumors, accumulated the poignant legend of the abandoned garden, and continue to devour human life, and even the demon master who has a considerable foundation and wants to practice witchcraft through yin qi has become part of the legend victim. After the Magister Guild sent someone to survey it, it was designated as a first-class danger zone, and no one was allowed to set foot in it. The ordinary residents of Siam City regard this place as a forbidden place and warn each other.

Now, I knew that Lance was very likely to hide in the abandoned garden, but if I wanted to go in to search, everyone looked at each other, all like the color of the earth, remembering all the legends they had heard since childhood, almost even their legs were almost weak, how could they dare to go in and snoop.

However, let five hundred gold coins slip away from him, and he was not reconciled to anything. Mo Ke had no choice but to disperse and patrol the exits of the abandoned garden on his own, anyway, Lance would have to come out sooner or later, and no matter how fierce the ghosts of the abandoned garden were, they would not attack the world outside the park, so it should be no problem.

"Damn, why are these guys so annoying!" Lance peered through the holes in the wall to see the movement of the outside world, and based on his professional experience, he judged that the crowd had not dispersed, but instead guarded the entrance and exit patrols, and it would not disperse in a moment, and he had to hide in this garden for a while.

He came in over the wall. Since he is a thief, he naturally has to get used to chasing people, like this kind of survival ability, Lance has long been ripe, first speed up the distance, take the opportunity to climb over the wall, and hide, sure enough, as originally expected, because of the reputation of the haunted house, no one dared to chase in, and the escape plan was successful. However, if Lance really finds out the rumors about this abandoned garden, I am afraid that he will be the one who escapes.

"Forget it, anyway, Uncle Ben will have to stay for a while longer, so let these stupid birds drink the wind outside. Lance said, looking for a path through the woods.

In fact, even he himself didn't know why he chose this place as a hiding place. Last night, I was so scared of the female ghost that I ran away, but in retrospect, I really didn't feel any horror, although I didn't see the face of the female ghost, I couldn't tell if it was a blue-faced fang, but from the slender figure in my memory, it seemed to be a beauty, I didn't even see my face clearly, I was scared to run wildly, it was really a big faceless, taking advantage of the blue sky and white day now, a hundred ghosts are easy, just come back to explore, save face.

There is also a reason, which is to pick up the knife that was lost last night, the origin of this knife is somewhat peculiar, and it is not trivial to lose it. Yesterday, chaos followed, and when I got to meet with Youxue outside the city, I found that the weapon was lost, and then I thought that it was lost in this Shen Garden, and one of the purposes of entering the city this time was to retrieve the weapon.

Brushing aside the long grass, Lance walked up to the cloister. This Shen family garden is indeed quite magnificent, although it is now dilapidated, but it can still be imagined from its scale, and it is full of grass and trees, vines are everywhere, but the general appearance of the garden is still well preserved, it really does not look like something two thousand years ago.

"It's strange to say, but the garden doesn't look like a desert but more like a ......," muttered Lance as he walked.

It's obviously a blue sky and a white day, but the cold air in the garden still makes people shiver from the cold, and it's not the kind of cold air that freezes people's bodies, but a chill that makes people's hearts cool and makes their scalp tingle, even a person with thick lines like Lance instinctively feels uneasy. Under the shock, everything became wrong, and even the plants and trees that were still perched seemed to show their teeth and claws.

In his sense, this garden did not seem to be deserted, but rather as if it had been sealed by some kind of force, otherwise, how could what should have been weathered be preserved so intact?

Thinking of this, Lance couldn't help but curse in his heart, it's all Reyns's stinky girl who is not good, every time he has a good time, he always likes to pick some ghost rumors and magic common sense to use as bedside stories, it is because he has heard too many of these things that he has a headache when he hears ghosts.

"Speaking of which, the old man loves to tell ghost stories, too!" said Lance, in an incomprehensible mood, as he remembered his adoptive father. In my memory, the barren mountains are lonely, and whenever there is nothing to do at night, the old man is also very fond of telling some anecdotes about the rivers and lakes, or boasting about how brave he was back then, and how many powerful demons and monsters he has killed.

Strangely, the thought of these two people made Lance feel the urge to laugh. It's not ridiculous, but a feeling of peace of mind and comfort that fills the entire chest and makes people smile involuntarily. The gloomy atmosphere in the garden seems to have faded a lot, and it is not so terrible.

"Go, what's there to be afraid of, let's see Uncle Ben's means of warding off all evils!" Humming an out-of-tune ballad, Lance strode towards Merlin behind-

Stepping into Merlin, the extremely cold feeling came back to him, and Lance exhaled twice and stepped boldly into the forest.

Last night's night was too dark, and many things were not seen clearly, and now it seems that among the dense branches, plum blossoms bloom, red, white, green, yellow, colorful, like a variety of different colors of clouds, floating on the trees, although there is no general beauty of the dark fragrance of the plum, but also very elegant.

"Damn, it's really a ghost place, how can plum blossoms have such a way to bloom?" Lance grows in the mountains, and the blooming season of all kinds of flowers and plants is naturally familiar, only to see the plum trees in front of him, and all kinds of famous plum blossoms grow in a staggered manner, and there is no tree that is the same as the opening season next to it. Next to the white plums that bloom in the cold winter are the budding green plums, in other words, each plum blossom here is stuck in independent time.

"No wonder Youxue said that the plum blossoms here are not thanked all year round, and I can't imagine that there is such a strangeness. The more I looked, the more I felt that something was wrong, it was better to leave early, Lance settled down, and followed the direction in his memory to find his whereabouts last night.

"Oops, I found it. Not far ahead, the long knife that Lance was wearing was stuck obliquely under a plum tree, and Lance was overjoyed, and he stepped forward with an arrow and pulled the knife up.

"Pong!"

The moment the knife was drawn, a crisp sound sounded below, and Lance took a look at it, only to be shocked that his hair almost stood on end.

Below, a porcelain urn was split in half, and it seemed that the steel knife was inserted into it, and it was reckless to pull it out, and it broke when it came. And the form of the porcelain urn seems to be the urn I saw last night.

Lance's surprise is not trivial, the so-called "ghost is a woman's power", he broke other people's bones, if he provokes a female ghost, then he is afraid that he will not be able to leave Siam City. In fright, he was about to kneel down and pray and apologize, but suddenly he felt that something was wrong in front of him, and when he looked closely, he saw that there was no such thing as ashes in the urn.

"What's going on?" Lance crouched down to examine. Since the urn was not filled with bones, Uncle Lance was much bolder, and raised his fingers to remove the fragments of the porcelain urn. Beneath the fragments were small objects, a purse, a hairpin, a few paper packets, and a fan.

"Strange, this is not an urn!" Lance was so surprised that he forgot to leave for a moment, remembering that there seemed to be words on the urn, so he tried to put the broken urn together.

This porcelain urn has been buried in the ground for a long time, and Lance drew the knife when his hand was strong, and now it is broken into pieces, where to fight back, but from the fragments on the ground, you can still see some remaining words, "beloved daughter sick and weak", "early death", "life and love things", "favorite garden", "distant view", "long thought", ...... , put it together, you can probably understand the original meaning.

I remember seeing a big "Shen" on this urn last night, so to speak, it was the owner of the Shen family who didn't know which generation, a daughter died of illness, he was in pain, and buried the small things that his daughter usually likes to use in this garden, so there is the existence of this porcelain urn.

Lance said in his heart, "I'll just say, how can anyone bury his ashes in his yard, that's what happened." "These little things are not worth much, even if they are worth a fortune, in this situation, he does not dare to act rashly. He prayed respectfully and returned the object to the broken piece of porcelain.

When I picked up the fan, there seemed to be calligraphy and painting on the fan, gently brushing off the dust, and there was a picture of a lady's makeup on the fan, and a small order was inscribed next to it.

"This year, the flower letter is in a hurry, for whom is it opened, a tall tree in the snow?

Sideburns and clouds, lonely white rabbits, and grace in the mirror.

The sickbed was lonely for a long time, and it was even more difficult for Feng Wei to sleep.

The magpie's nest is empty, the meteor is falling, and there is only the moon phase!"

The pen is soft and charming, it is from the hand of the lady, between the simple and simple brushes, there is a desolate meaning, and with the meaning of the words, the situation at that time is even more obvious. Although Lance doesn't know how to write and ink, he can chew on the meaning of self-harm and loneliness in "The Magpie's Nest is Empty and the Meteor Falls".

Taking a few paper packets of cakes, Lance took a closer look, and sure enough, although the taste had faded, it could still be distinguished that it was some kind of mountain herb. There is a faint aroma of rouge on the seal of the paper bag, it seems that this should be the herb that the owner of the fan took back then!

Lance looked back at the place where he came, at the end of the heavy Merlin, there was a detached pavilion, just enough to overlook the whole Merlin, so, was it a long time ago, there was a deep boudoir girl, who had been pestering mian on the sickbed for many years, and was sentimental to the mirror. In all kinds of loneliness, she watched the plum blossoms fall in the garden, guessing that her days were short, and she wrote and wrote words.

That loneliness and helplessness, when I think about it at this time, I really feel desolate when I think about it, but the girl has "only the moon phase pity".

Lance played with the fan and stood silent under the plum tree. There was a very sad, very sad feeling, which silently sprinkled all over his spiritual earth. I don't know what the reason is, when he looked at the fan, imagining a young woman, under the candle fire of the medicine stove, lying quietly on the sickbed, with a pale face, holding a handkerchief and coughing lightly, suddenly, a purple shadow crossed his mind, and followed, and his chest hurt all over.

"What's the matter, isn't the old wound already healed? Why did it suddenly come back again, damn it. Lance stroked his chest and frowned. After going down the mountain, before meeting with Cangyue Cao, his chest had been inexplicably injured, healed, and had a scar nearly an inch long, and then, whenever the night was quiet, there would often be an inexplicable dull pain in the chest, followed by a very severe headache.

"Damn, here it is again, the next time I see the stinky woman of Acao, I must have her thoroughly checked, and I can't prevaricate with the rotten reason of rheumatism. His head began to hurt again, and Lance couldn't help but moan.

He hated this moment very much, not only because of the headache that was about to crack, but also because in addition to the headache, there was another urge to cry, which came back to his heart.

Just like now.

Lance took a deep breath and suppressed the feeling. At the moment, he was in a bad mood, and since the knife had been taken, he should leave here early, and there was still a lot to do.

Put the things into the porcelain urn and bury them again, Lance wanted to leave, Fang was about to move, caught a glimpse of the scattered plum petals on the ground, his heart moved, and he said haha: "People say that etiquette is still exchanged, today Uncle Ben took the knife from your side, and he should always leave something to compensate, but don't tell others, Uncle Lance oppresses women and children." ”

Half of what he said was because he was in a bad mood and wanted to make some jokes for his own amusement, and the other half was a little whimsical, wanting to say that people had been lonely for a long time, and since he had taken the knife from her "grave", he had to leave something else to accompany her.

Looking left and right in his arms, he couldn't find a suitable object, he had a heroic personality, he never liked small playthings, and now he suddenly said that he wanted to find it, and he really couldn't change it for a while. After flipping through it a few times, my eyes suddenly lit up, and I said happily: "There is." ”

took out a piece of silk from his arms, the style is very beautiful, and it is just right for a girl to give it. Lance picked a thinner branch, tied the silk silk to the branch, and said with a smile: "You are a deep resentful woman, and Uncle Ben is a prodigal son without virtue, and it can be regarded as a couple, is this veil considered a gift of love?"

Bing Ha smiled, took a step, and found a way out of the park.

The breeze gently brushed the branches, blowing handkerchiefs, rustling, and plum petals like the first snow sprinkled all over the ground again. The dark fragrance hits people, and in the cold light and sparse branches, there seems to be a plain white figure, looming under the plum tree.

"Alas......"

A whisper, whispered softly in the wind, I don't know if it was the wind, or a sigh?

Lance came to an abandoned mansion that had been abandoned for a long time because its owner had moved away for a long time, and it was often used as a shelter in Siam City.

Before entering the city, Youxue provided this place as a temporary resting place for the four of them after entering the city, but they didn't expect that in less than a few hours, the partners who had agreed at the beginning had already died and scattered.

Stepping into the inner hall, there is a musty smell in the deserted hall, the surrounding is dead and silent, only the occasional wind blowing sound in the distance, the ground is full of wolves, it seems that I don't know if it was a few days ago, there are other people who have cooked here, this house is a common gathering place for the Shetters, so the people who come here should also be the Shetters!

In this situation, Lance felt particularly lonely, he was a lively person, but at this time he didn't even have someone to talk to, thinking that everything had not gone well since he entered the city, and the few friends he had just made had also suffered disasters, he couldn't help but look up to the sky and sigh.

"Huh, is that Brother Lance?"

Before Lance could finish sighing, a person suddenly appeared in the haystack under the table on the left, with a long coat and a clear face, but it was not who Gengoro was. He grabbed Lance, happily grabbed Lance and shook him, and said happily: "Great, great, it's really nice to be able to see big brother......

Lance was also overjoyed when he met his old friend, and he forgot about any estrangement for a while, holding Gengoro's hand, and couldn't say a word for a long time. Seeing that he had several bandages tied on his body, obviously injured while covering his escape, and remembering that in times of danger, this person did not care about his own safety, but just tried to cover his escape, Lance was really moved to tears.

After a while, Lance reluctantly squeezed out a sentence, "Adversity sees the truth, you are really my good brother." ”

Gengoro also seemed to be extremely moved, cleared his throat, and said, "It was the eldest brother who helped me get out of the fire pit at the beginning, and the younger brother owes the eldest brother too much, and he can't pay it back at all, so what is this little thing?"

Lance said: "My own brother, what do you owe or not?" And he said, "By the way, how did you escape? What about the others?" In Lance's speculation, Hanajiro has the highest martial arts and the most promising chance of breaking out of the encirclement, while Gengoro and Yuxue are almost non-martial arts, and in that situation, if they are nine deaths, and now Gengoro is here, what about the other two?

Gengoro said gloomily: "It was Second Brother Hua who fought desperately to save me from the encirclement, the situation was critical at that time, he fought twenty by himself, he was stabbed eighteen times, covered in blood, and he tried his best to cover me, alas...... Poor second brother Hua, when I left, I took the last look, and I only saw him surrounded by groups, I am afraid that he will be more auspicious. ”

Lance was dumbfounded when he heard this, and wanted to say, "I couldn't have imagined that the yin and yang weird guy was so righteous when he was killed, but he felt that it was inconvenient to say this, so he asked instead, "What about the snow?"

Gengoro hesitated: "At that time, the scene was very chaotic, the smoke was thick, we were separated from Brother Yuxue, I don't know ...... him" Before the words fell, a groan came from the door, and the two looked together, only to smell the smell of blood at the door, and a blood-red fat figure stumbled in.

"Wow! "Wow! At the screams of Lance and Gengoro, the figure had fallen to the ground, groaning.

"Oops......"

Gengoro exclaimed, "Hey, big brother, it's big brother Youxue." Lance was also surprised, and when he looked at it again, it was snow, but he didn't know why there was blood all over his body, and he looked like a bloody man.

"There's snow, how did you become like this. ”

"Hey, I'm ...... I got eighty-three stabs in my body, and those ...... The garrison must have seen me as a Shet, especially for cutting a lot. "There was snow lying on the ground, moaning in a low voice, and the voice was weak and dying.

Lance was excited in his chest, hugged Youxue into his arms, and said sadly: "It's all to cover me that you became like this, Youxue, you are really a snow man who stands up to the sky." Gengoro said, "Big brother, your clothes are ......" Lance said: "It's okay, he is our brother, and it is an honorable thing to be stained with the blood of his brother." Gorou, you should be proud to have such a brother. Gengoro replied, "Yes, eldest brother, younger brother is very proud. ”

"Yes...... Is it the eldest brother......" Youxue reluctantly opened his eyes, his divine light was dissipating, he was already less in and more out, he gasped: "Can you ...... Can cover ...... You...... Peaceful...... Get out of danger safely, I'm ...... I...... Already...... Already ......"

Lance was sad in his heart, although he felt that Youxue's body was still warm, and his speech was still quite sufficient, but he thought that it was also a reflection of the light. This Shet people avoided love and greed, but they didn't expect that they would be so loyal and courageous, and they could have such a brother, and it would not be in vain to go through this experience in the world.

Seeing that he was covered with blood that had not yet condensed, it was obvious that the wounds were many and deep, and he was eighty-three stabbed by a fleeing Shet, and in the depths of the enemy formation, Hanajiro, who held on to the enemy until the last moment, was not the flesh and blood that was chopped off, and even the intestines flowed out.

Lance looked at Gengoro, Gengoro understood, and sighed: "Second Brother Hua is strong in martial arts, and he is a Jiren Tianxiang, I think, I think he will be fine......" Lance shook his head when he heard this, in that case, there can be a Duoji person's natural appearance, at most, it is just a broken body and bones.

"Yes! A few good brothers, all of them are auspicious, blessed by a hundred spirits, and my little Hanajiro is sheltered by him, how can he not turn evil into auspiciousness?" Under the sunset, Hanajiro appeared silently at the door, his eyes were terrifying, the original drunkenness was swept away, and his long hair fluttered in the wind, which looked very instructive.

He walked in slowly, and a pair of sword eyes first glanced at Gengoro meaningfully, then looked at Lance, and said with a smile, "Is Lance a good man?"

Lance looked at him for a moment, and couldn't remember what the person in front of him had to do with the drunkard in the morning, so he said, "You...... Didn't you slash eighteen times and be besieged?"

"Oh, am I that bad?" glanced at Gengoro, the latter looked grinning, Hanajiro smiled: "Probably because I have a special physique, okay quickly!" After that, without waiting for Lance to ask, he turned to the snow trail on the ground: "You Snow Hero usually likes animals like chickens and ducklings?"

Lance couldn't understand what was coming from outside the sky, and said, "What?"

"Isn't it?" Hanajiro sneered, "Otherwise, why do you like to pretend to sleep by smearing your body with chicken blood and duck blood?" ”

Lance was stunned for a moment, and then erupted into an unprecedented rage, and in the midst of angry shouts, he punched Youxue to death, trying to squash the shetter who faked his death and stole life. Before he could hit him, Youxue had already turned over and fled, shouting at Hua Jiro: "You dead Hua Jiro, pull Lao Tzu's hind legs, Lao Tzu will be with you endlessly...... Why does your body smell greasy?"

Hanajiro smiled and said indifferently: "After eating fat chicken and roast duck, of course it has a greasy taste." ”

"Fat chicken roast duck?" Youxue was stunned for a moment, and exclaimed strangely: "Wow! You guy really has no conscience, not only pull my hind legs, but also eat the chicken legs I worked hard to steal, come on, come on, we fight for 300 rounds to win or lose, I want to fight you can't even make pork legs......" Before he finished speaking, he was already thrown to the ground by Lance, and there were five slaps in the thunderbolt.

Hanajiro said: "I saw that you were not there, and the chickens and ducks were about to be scorched, so I was kind enough to do it for you, you Xuete really don't know good people's hearts." Turning to Gengoro, he laughed and said, "Brother Gorou is so powerful, he ran away without a trace in an instant, and he was so tired that he searched the streets and alleys of Siam after something, and caught up with all the flies and mosquitoes in the sky. ”

Gengoro smiled in return, bowed his body, and said, "Thanks to the sword that came from the second brother of Hua, the younger brother has a chance to escape, and I thank you for saving your life." ”

Hanajiro snorted, lifted the lid of the gourd, and poured a few more sips of wine. This Gengoro is indeed not simple, using his mind when he is fighting with people, hiding his breath until it is annihilated, and thus getting rid of the tracking of the "locked soul", forcing himself to waste his mind, and searching the entire Siam City with his senses, but in the end it is still useless, if it weren't for remembering that Lance had mentioned this, maybe he would have been thrown off.

Since you want to play, let's play and see, and see whose means are more clever, anyway, even if you don't count the others, just the one on the street just now, everyone still has an old account to calculate.

The two of them said everything to me, the person who said it was smiling, and the person who listened to it was also witty, but the sharpness in the words was extremely sharp, which made the listener pinch a cold sweat. Of course, if anyone is listening.

And in fact, no, on the other side, Lance has beaten the snow pain of the inhuman form, the more he beats, the more angry he becomes, this kid is greedy for life and afraid of death, he must not know where to slip away, and then smeared with chicken blood and duck blood and came back to deceive people, and he almost shed tears when he lied to himself, and he was really angry to think about.

After being beaten for a long time, the remaining anger did not subside, and the hands were tired, and I was thinking about whether to do it, or simply take a knife to split this miscellaneous piece in half, and the snow had killed the pig and screamed.

"Don't ...... Don't fight anymore, in fact, I'm going to investigate information in private, just to do business, not to escape!"

"Intelligence? What other information do you have? ”

"It's very important information! It's really important, it's the latest news about the batch of red goods in the Oriental family. ”

Lance was startled, glanced at Gengoro and Hanajiro, and then put down his fist-

"Hey, Goro, Jiro, what's going on now. ”

"I don't know, big brother, but I'm so hungry. ”

"Uh...... I'm not against you staying any longer, but are you really sure we need to tiptoe like that?"

At one end of the street corner, Lance and the other four people were masked in black scarves and secretly peeked at the huge mansion in front of them.

Youxue just reported the shocking news, I don't know why, the Oriental Family Rite Team, which was supposed to go away, is still stranded in Siam City, and it seems that there is no intention of leaving. As soon as the news spread, of course, it caused a shock again, so that the high-rollers who witnessed yesterday's vicious fight began to steal and plot again, for the sake of the priceless treasure, of course.

"The nest chisels the morale scum on credit, but it has been reported, and the mud is stuffy. (I said I was going to find out the information, but you don't believe me.) His face was swollen like a large cake with snow, still justifying his actions.

Hanajiro said: "What do you want when the pig-faced hero is hand-to-hand?"

In order to find out the information, Lance decided to get up immediately and go to the post house where the Oriental Family Rite team lived to collect information.

As a result, unexpectedly, there were people coming and going in front of the post house, and it seemed that they were just ordinary pedestrians, but people with a little experience in the rivers and lakes could see that these people were all armed with weapons in their hands, and they were clearly here to step on the plate, and Lance, who was specially masked for this purpose, not only did not receive the original effect, but became the focus of the audience, and many people were wondering, "Where did such a stupid thief come from?"

Gengoro said, "Big brother, I think I'm so embarrassed, if people ask, how should I explain it." ”

Lance said impatiently, "Just tell him that you are a magus, and whoever has an opinion will curse him to death." ”

After the four of them entered the city, there were many twists and turns, and now it was evening, and the four of them had not eaten all day, and their stomachs were grunting with hunger, and it was only because of Lance's insistence that they had been squatting here to watch.

There is a snow trail: "Big brother, I think we can go back and rest for a while, and come back tomorrow." Lance said: "Nonsense, the early birds eat worms, and the birds that don't sleep eat more, and now it's getting late, it's a good time to find out the information, and when it's darker, we'll try to sneak into the house and see if we can ......."

He was talking about wishful thinking, and did not consider the possibility of implementation at all, but as soon as he had finished speaking, the door of the room slammed open, and a rather handsome servant, with a red dwarf with a handle across his waist, and luxuriously dressed, came out in a hurry.

Behind him, a group of sturdy men pushed a few carts to follow, and for a moment they couldn't see what it was.

The little servant stood still, shook around, and said loudly: "Heroes and heroes, invited, Siam City is the master, my Dongfang family is a guest, since the strong dragon does not suppress the head snake, please also ask the heroes to respect themselves." He looks pleasing, and his childish face at the moment is full of an old look, which is really embarrassing, but in view of his identity as a representative, there is a majestic atmosphere in his words.

The servant said a few more words, and finally said, "If there is anyone with bad intentions who wants to disturb people's dreams at night, these brothers are role models. ”

said that he retreated and returned to the house, and the group of men overturned the cart, and several people from the rivers and lakes, or missing arms or legs, rolled out of the car in embarrassment, it seems that they sneaked into the mansion earlier, held it for the Dongfang family, and then were turned into this way to kill chickens and monkeys.

This move caused an uproar among the masses, and they were still rushing to watch, and they dispersed after a while. Only the men remained, bleeding from their wounds, tossing and moaning on the ground, looking extremely pitiful.

Lance saw a chill down his spine, and naturally thought that if he really sneaked in at night, it would be fine if he didn't succeed, but if he managed to get in but couldn't get out, then ......

"Big brother, I think, let's come back another day!"

Hearing Yuxue's request, Lance nodded silently-

The night was quiet, the evening breeze was blowing, and the group returned to the old abandoned house. Because the day was really tiring, after barely nibbling on the remaining rations of Youxue, Lance and Youxue immediately fell asleep on the hay, and it seemed that they had a great intention of not getting out of bed until three poles in the morning.

Hanajiro picked a large tree outside the house, chose a thicker branch to perch on, lay on it, and quietly closed his eyes as the branches swayed.

Gengoro also seems to be a person who often sleeps in the wilderness, skillfully lighting a fire in front of that tree, laying a cushion cloth, leaning his back against the trunk, and closing his eyes so comfortably, it is unthinkable that he is so delicate and delicate as a son, and can bear hardships and stand hard work.

"Hey! shemale boy. ”

"Oh, Second Brother Hua hasn't slept yet. ”

As soon as Gengoro sat down, Hanajiro's voice sounded above his head.

"I want to ask you, what are you trying to do with those two wretches like this?"

"What's the reason for?" Gengoro smiled: "Repay the favor, I have nowhere to go, the two eldest brothers are willing to take me in, I should naturally be grateful for the picture, do you think it's strange to do this?"

"Hmph!" Hanajiro snorted coldly and said, "Don't tell lies in front of real people, two miscellaneous people sleep like dead pigs, there are only you and me here, you don't have to pretend anymore." After speaking, he muttered

"Well, yesterday's melee in the Dongfang family, when the Xuete people picked you up and ran wildly, boy, you made three moves, two swords and one finger, the first move is the "Sky Light Cloud Shadow" of the White Deer Cave, and the second move is the "River and Mountain Iron Sword" of the White Deer Cave. ”

Hanajiro said: "'Skylight Cloud Shadow Sword' and 'River and Mountain Iron Sword' are all the thirty-six stunts of the White Deer Cave, at your young age, it is not easy to cultivate both!"

Gengoro smiled and said, "The White Deer Cave is the authentic martial arts of today, and it has always been widely spread, maybe the younger brother accidentally learned a trick and a half, then it is not surprising!"

"The boy in white took advantage of the chaos to approach the sedan chair, but he was surrounded and couldn't break out, and you sent a third finger to swing the left and right weapons to help him get out of danger, this finger is unusual!" Hanajiro's voice suddenly tightened, and he said, "Who are you? What does it have to do with the Western Queen Mother's family? The Western Queen Mother Clan has not appeared in the world for more than a thousand years, how can you make your fingers soft red'?"

Gengoro smiled, and a wise smile appeared on the girl's face, "Alas, you have to ask my master, he is only an old man, and I am an apprentice on the side, how do I know what the master teaches? How do you know that there are so many allusions?"

Hanajiro was stunned for a moment, and said: "Your master?" Then he remembered that this kid was cunning and deceitful, he said that there is a master, maybe it is just a prevarication, the thirty-six stunts have never been passed on by the descendants of the White Deer Cave, and those who can practice two stunts at the same time and have success, there are only twenty people in the world, and they can say that they know all of them, but how can there be people from the White Deer Cave who will also learn the martial arts of the Western Queen Mother's family, and will teach such ghost apprentices?

Without waiting for Hua Jiro to ask, Gengoro was already anti-guest, and asked with a smile: "I didn't expect Second Brother Hua to know so much, it's amazing, it's amazing, if it weren't for your wrong dress, the little brother would really think that you have something to do with that famous sword?"

"What sword? What do you know?" the swaying branches suddenly stopped swinging, and Hanajiro's voice became cold.

Ignoring the chill that was approaching from the top, Gengoro smiled like a naughty boy: "Haha, since you are surnamed Hua Xinger, your swordsmanship is so good, and you are such a handsome character, the younger brother naturally associates you with the famous sword of the Hua family." ”

When Hanajiro heard this, his face turned pale, he snorted coldly, and after a while, he said slowly: "Since you don't want to say it, it's up to you." Since you have formed a bond with the Dongfang family, when the time comes, the Dongfang family will come to you to settle accounts, as for our share, let's see if I am in the mood to chase the water dogs at that time. ”

Hanajiro thought in his heart, this Gengoro is full of eccentricity, the White Deer Cave has always been extremely tightly defended against the upper level of martial arts, this person actually uses it freely, even the "finger wrapping soft red" that has become a legendary martial arts he can use, and he has a lot of luck between the luck, this kind of skill, is definitely a special master in the world today.

Such a person, but deliberately pretending to be clumsy that does not know martial arts, following those two miscellaneous fools, and deliberately sabotaging the actions of the Dongfang family, there must be an amazing plot in it, anyway, he has been bored for a long time, and he really wants to find something to move his muscles, so use this kid to open the knife! Everyone might as well spend it and see who is the old fox.

Gengoro said with a smile: "Second brother Hua, since we are a party, we will share blessings and woes, if he has any trouble with the younger brother, I hope you will draw your sword to help you as much as you do today!"

On the tree, Hanajiro sneered slightly, closed his eyes, and didn't answer.

The breeze blew through the treetops, and after the two of them closed their eyes and fell asleep together, the last battle of the day in Siam City was finally over.
