Chapter 49: Sirius
He was beaten badly. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info didn't even remember himself very much later, and when he woke up, he was still standing alone in the lobby.
He walked out of the store wrapped in a black cloth with several large fireworks, and a pedestrian felt strange, and glanced through the crack in the door, only to see a hall full of corpses, and immediately screamed in fright!
Hou Xue stared at him coldly, and the pedestrian immediately covered his mouth.
There was a lot of noise on the street, and no one paid attention to the pedestrian, who faced Hou Xue and pointed at him tremblingly, "Yes, you did it......?
Hou Xue nodded, and he whispered, "As long as you can control your tongue, then you will be fine." ”
Hou Xue entered the corner with the fireworks, and when the pedestrian saw that he was far away, he immediately spread his legs, and he had to run to the nearest steward's office, where he wanted to announce the evil deeds of this murderous maniac. When he took a shortcut and ran to the alley where no one was around, a hand suddenly flashed out of the darkness and grabbed his neck, and the strong arm almost shattered his bones. The pedestrian was out of breath, Hou Xue left in the shadows, he had given a chance, but unfortunately it was not cherished.
Kingori waited a little sleepily, and couldn't help but squint his eyes and doze off on the table.
In the dimness, there seemed to be children shouting, others clapping for joy, and the whole street was boiling! She vaguely saw the night sky colorful, and suddenly woke up, "This, these are fireworks?"
Could he ......?
He actually had a way to convince the Iron Rooster boss. Jin Geli surprisingly likes Hou Xue, especially jokingly asking him for gifts, looking at his embarrassed appearance that he can't take it, Tee is also cute. She just stared at the long-lasting array of colors in the night sky and felt a sense of wonder.
"Look, Grandma, there's someone in the tower, he's setting off fireworks. ”
The tall and tall figure, Jingori didn't even look at it, she just smiled and drank the wine.
When Hou Xue came back, Jingori found something strange on his body, there seemed to be blood on his black clothes, she secretly rubbed some off and sniffed it, how could she not understand that this was fresh human blood?
She asked, "Are you doing something out of the ordinary again?" ”
Hou Xue was silent, and he said, "It's not out of line." ”
Suddenly there was a shout from the street, and they said that the biggest merchant in the city had been slaughtered. More than 100 men died in pools of blood, and the army had already arrived at the scene, and no murder weapons were found, and there was no shortage of money and account books. Only five large barrels of fireworks are missing, and only five are recorded in the library.
She suddenly understood everything, but she still held Hou Xue's hand tightly.
"If I were those guys, I would have regretted it," she said. She turned her head to stare at Hou Xue, "How much silver are those fireworks?"
"One hundred taels. ”
"Throwing away one's life for a mere hundred taels is not worth even one tael of each person's life. Her tone was trembling, and she said, "I'm happy, but I'm also scared, you can win more than a hundred civilians with your bare hands, but one day you're going to face an army of millions, and you can't always win." I want someone to be with me more than fireworks, and even if he's not as likable as fireworks, I don't want to lose him, you know?"
Hou Xue did not answer this question.
He just said, "If there is a day, I will never be bare-handed, I will take thousands of troops to get what I want." ”
Jin Geli broke away from Hou Xue's hand and ran into the alley like a kitten, Hou Xue chased after her, but she could no longer be found in the bustling crowd.
"I hate him. After Jin Geli returned to the palace, he puffed out his cheeks and lazily lay down in Su Hongyan's arms.
Su Hongyan just laughed, she drank, and let Jingori lie on her lap, constantly whining. Su Hongyan said: "If a woman often says that she hates a man, she may not really hate it in her heart, maybe she will like it." ”
"He's so stupid that he doesn't understand a girl's mind at all." ”
"Which man is smart?"
Su Hongyan pulled down her long sleeves, reached out and stroked Jin Geri's delicate cheeks, and said, "What a mouth-watering face, if I were a man, I would definitely rape you right now." ”
"But you're not a man." ”
Su Hongyan sighed, "I'm just here to make some money for wine, but from a woman's point of view, I can give you an analysis." ”
Kingori's eyes widened and he stared at her with a serious expression.
"You say he's too stupid, but he's not weak at all in terms of strategy, I don't know if you know that gray-haired old man, his name is Tianxiang, and he is a thriving character. Big people have a lot of inexplicable tempers, but looking at Hou Xue, he doesn't have any temper at all, obviously Hou Xue's talent is beyond his imagination. ”
Jingori said, "What's so powerful?"
Su Hongyan said: "His gun is very long and thick. ”
Jingori blushed and said, "Ahh......h It's long. ”
Su Hongyan said, "Yes, the Heavenly Artifact 'Bloody Silver' is not something that a young man can easily wield. Do you know the legend about the Seven Heralds?"
"What legend?"
"When each of the seven divine weapons is handed over to seven different people, the gears of fate will begin to spin again, and these seven people will definitely affect the situation in Qingzhou. The last time it was all handed over was seventeen years ago. ”
Su Hongyan said: "And have you noticed that he carries a gun all the time?"
Jin Geli said: "Well, why did you know him so well after only half a month of coming to Wanghai Kingdom?"
Su Hongyan said: "Because once I was drinking in the night market, I saw this person staying in a restaurant, and he even slept with a gun in his hand. What does it mean that a person who is so heavily guarded does not carry any weapons at Sanli Bridge?"
"Am I ...... better than his life?" she said stupidly, "You follow me!"
Su Hongyan said: "Don't worry, as soon as I saw that he was accompanying you, I went to drink by myself." She continued: "You're right, he's a stupid man who can never read a woman's heart, but he's also a very lovely man, and I envy him." ”
Jingori said: "You envy everything! A few days ago, I also saw the Qinglou that recruited female customers. ”
"Ahem. Su Hongyan said: "Human-oriented, since I held this sword, I have unconsciously become the same as the owner of the sword." ”
"Isn't the master of the sword you?"
"No, no......" she just smiled, the sword owner had been chic all his life, alcoholic, lustful, even she had fallen into this man's trap, and finally ended her life because of a woman. She sometimes wondered, if she had met someone like Hou Xue at the beginning, would she have lived happily under his bulky and cute protection? Su Hongyan's wine jar was empty, and she asked blankly: "I heard that there were no fireworks tonight, but someone buried more than 100 people for these fireworks." ”
Kingori looked down, "That's right. ”
"What an inscrutable man, do you like him or not?"
Kingori was silent, she couldn't figure it out herself, she just got up in a hurry and slipped out of the luxurious and bright golden hall.
It seems that Hou Xue is the only one left on the street.
He returned to the empty Underworld Temple, where the thistle was located. A strange city that he was not yet familiar with, it was changing with each passing day, unlike the beautiful grasslands of Shuoyuan, and it would not change much for hundreds of years.
Usually Tianxiang would always sit in the center of the hall, looking at the empty night sky at the top, and he said: "The stars often represent the rise and fall of a certain great clan, and some guys can see the subtlety, but I have watched it for so many years, and I can't guess it." I just feel like they're getting closer to me. ”
Tonight, Tianxiang is not there.
In the place where he usually sits, there are the evidence and letters of the darkness that he left behind. Hou Xue held them tightly in the palm of his hand, and he had always treated Tianxiang as a benefactor.
He was accustomed to the waves and the coming and going of people, but for the first time he tasted nostalgia.
He sat down in that high chair and looked with the eyes of a celestial eye in the direction he had been looking. He found that only one star could be seen from the top of the void. This star is so bright that tonight, it even brightens up the auxiliary star next to the Big Dipper.
That's Sirius.
Tonight, his fortunes began to turn.
