Chapter 18: A Blessing or a Curse

Four black-robed city guards followed the man in white.

The white-clothed eyes caught a glimpse of the city guards behind him, and quickened his pace, he turned into an alley at the corner of the street, and circled the alley many times.

The distribution of the dwellings in the fine willow city is extremely uneven, the overall style is all the same color of white walls, green tiles and high walls, a little better big families get a carved screen in the front hall, and make a patio behind the middle hall, but no matter how it changes, it is still that pattern, nothing new.

Walking around, the alleys of the houses are like a maze.

But the man in white is very familiar with the route of the alley, but this is useless, the strength of the defenders of Xiliu City is all at the upper level of the realm, for such a master, as long as you are not flying in the sky, he can catch up with you.

After all, it's the terrain.

After all, it's called the realm.

After the man in white turned the corner, he raised his leg and landed in the small courtyard of the wall.

The feet fell in the grass of the courtyard and did not make a sound.

I wanted to run away quickly after a few circles, but no matter how familiar I was with the terrain, I couldn't get to know those city defenders.

The man in white leaned against the trunk of a tree and muttered to himself.

"What is the origin of that guy, why does Old Man Fan value him so much?"

"I'm just curious to come out and see, why was I targeted so quickly?"

"I really just want to come out and have fun!"

While thinking, the man in white suddenly raised his head and looked at the wall of the courtyard.

There, a black robe stood tall above.

Oh, no.

It was a black robe standing high on the walls at the four corners of the courtyard.

The wind gently blew the robes of the city defenders, and the black corners of the robes fluttered gently in the wind, like a killer who came to ask for his life!

Extremely standard movements, the four defenders all pressed their hands on the scabbard, the knife style is very ordinary, but the length of the knife is relatively short, and the knife edge is wider than that of ordinary knives, it is said that such a knife is very dangerous to use, and does not lose the domineering characteristics of ordinary knives such as slashing and killing.

The man in white let out a long sigh, he really couldn't hide.

He was surrounded by death!

"Why do you keep following me?"

"The road is all the same."

Along the way, Hua gradually flew with a headache and Wan Shu, who generally had to follow him.

The streets outside are still very lively, with people coming and going, and the river is endless. There are Jianghu customers, those with knives, those with swords, those with guns, all kinds of people, and there are also ordinary people, selling rouge gouache, selling sugar gourds, arguing for gadgets, and selling oil, rice, sauce and vinegar.

For Jianghu guests, swords and swords, battlefield fighting is life, but for ordinary people, oil, rice, sauce and vinegar, food, clothing, housing and transportation, these ordinary little things are life.

Wan Shu took out the token and took another look, the token was made of wood, but I don't know what kind of wood it was made of, the whole was gray and black, but the appearance was simple and usually not much different from the token of the small sect, but there were many ancient characters carved on the token, as if it was a series of esoteric talismans.

Well, it should be a valuable old antique.

Wan Shu shook the token in his hand at the flower, and then pointed to the sugar gourd on the side of the street.

Go without saying.

Hua Weifei could only take out the little bit of silver left in his pocket and buy two strings of sugar gourds, turned around and handed them to the girl in the butterfly skirt, and then reached out to get the token back, Wan Shu shook his head, obviously this is not enough.

Not only that, Wan Shu nibbled on the sugar gourd, while holding the token and rubbing it carefully.

The appearance of Hua gradually flying is obviously a great treasure.

"Oh yes, my snacks are in your care these days, by the way, accompany me to go shopping, visit Xiliu City, I haven't had a good time after coming out of White Dragon City for so many days."

"What?"

What snacks are in charge of him, a few taels of silver is nothing, but it will take a few days to see Wan Shu's fun? It is estimated that it will be a long time, and Hua gradually wants to get it immediately.

After all, this token was originally his!

What kind of person would threaten someone with something from someone else?

The angry flower gradually flew out to grab it, and Wan Shu, who had been on guard, quickly withdrew his hand and put it behind him.

She opened her mouth and nibbled off the last sugar gourd, threw the skewer out of the distance, 'Ah~' sighed lightly to express her extreme satisfaction with this string of ordinary sugar gourds.

Then Wan Shu thought about it, and then stuffed the token into the placket of his chest.

Usually only important small items are kept in the placket, and it is not so safe to tie them around the waist or in your pockets.

Wan Shu's body moved, and the pink shadow fluttered like a butterfly, and the flower gradually flew very close.

She looked very smug as if to say, 'What are you going to do?' ’

"You forced me!"

Hua gradually rolled up his sleeves and said that he was going to do a big job, and he had prepared for the worst to take advantage of the situation.

"Then you try, I'll shout later, help~ there are hooligans~ robbing people's girls~"

Wan Shu said a lot, anyway, she is not afraid of the flowers gradually flying, she eats the flowers and gradually flies!

Hua gradually fei's cheeks are thick for a while, in broad daylight, in this bright and sunny occasion, he can't reach out to grab it, if he reaches out to grab it, then he really fell into this girl's trick, as long as she shouts, the public will stand on her side of 'seemingly simple and cute, but in fact scheming', and then launch a fierce group attack on herself, anyway, it provokes the excitement of the crowd, and she will definitely not feel good.

Hua gradually decided to compromise, took a deep breath, and after calming down, Bin Bin said politely, "What do you want?" ”

Wan Shu grinned, "Smart man." ”

"I don't have any thoughts about you yet, so you wait for a while."

"What? Wait a minute? I'm not bargaining with you right now, you don't want to get an inch! ”

Hua Feifei is almost angry, this person has no ideas, but there are many thieves, his temper has been tossed by her, there is a kind of happiness, it is someone else who cuts you with a knife, and you don't feel pain; There is a kind of depression that is when others stand next to you and do nothing, but you are very aggrieved.

Wan Shu also seemed to think that this was boring, so he raised his head and pointed ahead, and gave an order to Hua Yanfei.

Hua gradually flew into the eyes, and saw a tough guy with a big sword in his hand shirtless, walking down the street with his head down.

The bare-chested tough swordsman followed the flow of people, walking out of the city step by step, his bronzed skin shining in the scorching sun, giving the illusion that he was invulnerable.

"What do you want to do?" This time, Hua gradually flew and couldn't guess Wan Shu's intentions.

Wan Shu smiled: "This time, let's see who can steal the things from that person first, if you win, I will return the stone to you." ”

"I'm not interested in playing such a boring game."

Wan Shu's eyes rolled, and he didn't know what idea came to mind.

Hua Yanfei glanced back at Wan Shu and asked, "You shouldn't have made a fortune stealing things, right?" Is it a kind person like me? ”

Wan Shu shook his head, and the long pink hairband on his head fluttered in the air: "Anyway, I'm not the kind of person who kills people and sells goods, otherwise you would have died a long time ago." ”

"Then why take my token?"

"Because you're funny, I'm sure you're a beginner's fool, and of course I'm going to let you know what's sinister."

******

The man in white looked at the black-robed city guards at the four corners, and he remained silent.

He didn't move, and neither did the four defenders.

The four defenders all pressed the special knife on their waists, the blade was half exposed, and the slightly curved blade flashed with cold light, as if the knife could take away the fresh life at any time as soon as it came out.

Impatient, don't wait!

Suddenly, the man in white stepped forward and rushed to the side door of the courtyard like lightning.

He kicked through the door, turned around and ran.

Someone in the courtyard room shouted, "There are thieves! ”

The voice of the man in white floated back again, "You can go to the City Lord's Mansion for the expenses!" ”

At the turn of the alley, before the man in white turned in, a black robe was already standing there.

"Damn, I'm not running away!"

The voice was strong, and the man in white walked straight towards the city guard, as if with the courage to see death as home.

If you can't escape, you'll have to resign yourself to your fate.

When the white-clothed man approached, the straight-robed black-robed city defender finally spoke.

A slightly hoarse voice slowly spoke.

"Why did you run out again?"

"Yes, yes, second son, why don't you study in Shouyang Mountain, why did you come back?" Another one

"It must have been a truancy again."

"I'm sorry, second son, the city lord has ordered that as long as I see you in Xiliu City, I have to arrest you and go back to the house." The city defender, who had a somewhat honest face, scratched his head, as if he felt that what he said was wrong, and changed his words: "Ah no, I ask you to go back." ”

"What do you mean by wandering? I've got something important to do! The man in white explained unhappily.

Zhao Zhiyuan, the lord of Xiliu City, has a younger brother named Zhao Jin, who studies in the Confucian sect of Shouyang Mountain all the year round.

"Second son, are you skipping school again? If the city lord knows about this, he will definitely be punished heavily. ”

Zhao Jin let out a long sigh and said: "It's a small matter to punish me, I still want to come back and see, the old man of Nangong can guard Xiliu City for many years, which is already a great favor, I only have full reverence for the old man of Nangong, not to mention that this kind of destiny is not something that can be changed by manpower, no matter what happens afterwards, I Song Zhi will definitely do my best to take on the future of Xiliu City." ”

Now that the last sword of the Hanging Sword Lin Nangong Sword is already a well-known event, a large number of martial arts people have poured into Xiliu City, before such a turbulent crisis, how could he, as the second-in-command of Xiliu City, not come back?

Moreover, it was the formation of the Xichuan Hanging Sword Forest that made the city gradually strong and stable over the years.

Zhao Ergongzi asked again: "By the way, who will we send to Xiliucheng to control the matter of going to Xichuan Hanging Sword Forest?" ”

The defender of the city with a slightly hoarse voice replied, "Xiliu City Zhang Yi has broken through to the Heavenly Realm, so he should have been sent there." ”

"Zhang Yizhen?" Zhao Yuan remembered that

Zhao Jin scolded without the temperament of a scholar: "Okay, damn it!" I'm going to the Pingyu Inn, don't follow me anymore! ”

The black-robed city keeper bowed slightly goodbye.

"Okay, second son, are you really a scholar?"

Cangzhou Shouyang Mountain Confucianism, which is known as one of the origins of Confucianism in the Tianyuan Continent, the children of Mr. Shanmen have a clear style of learning, and are respected by the world, so they are also called Dongshan Confucianism.
