Chapter 269: "Glass Purification"
The arrival of the envoy from the northern kingdom to the imperial city naturally caused a certain shock in some circles.
Zheng Xiu also smelled a smell that was different from the past.
In the mouths of the people, the Northern Barbarians have an image that is almost demonized.
Some people say that the barbarian Ru Mao drinks blood and dares to eat human flesh;
Some people say that the barbarian has three heads and six arms, and his head is full of eyes;
Some people say that a barbarian can tear open a cow alive, pour the blood on his body and bathe, while gnawing on the original cow's intestine inside;
Some people say that where the barbarians passed, there were no chickens and dogs, and they would take the women back to the wasteland and give birth to monkeys for all the barbarians.
It is no wonder that the people are ignorant, just because over the years, the northern barbarians have repeatedly invaded, and the two countries have fought several times, and the people of Daqian have suffered miserably, and there is an instinctive fear of the barbarians.
This fear is like the fear of a tiger in an unarmed mortal, and it will not be able to get rid of it for a while, unless the mortal becomes stronger. For example, Zheng Xiu now, if he hears the tiger, he will only excitedly take out the big baby and rush forward to have a picnic.
"How can you eat so much tonight?"
Chef He was busy in the kitchen all afternoon, making more than 30 dishes.
After going up a few times, Chef He was surprised to find that the plates on the table were empty, and all the dishes were full of food into the stomach of the Red King.
He even walked around the table suspiciously, afraid that the Red King would secretly hide the dishes in other places, or that the Red King knew the wind and snow, and hid others under the table, eating and playing.
In the end, to Chef He's disappointment, King Chi was really alone and ate all his dishes.
Zheng Xiu had a full meal in his own Xiangmanlou, and watched from the attic to make the team gradually move away, and disappeared at the end of the street, when the sky was dark, Zheng Xiu blew a whistle at Qing Shisan downstairs, so that he didn't have to wait, he jumped down from the tall building, his wings opened, and through the cover of the night, Zheng Xiu flew towards the Red King's Mansion like an inky streamer.
The strange beast pattern on his chest spread all over his body, the hideous claw marks stirred in his chest, and as the night breeze full of autumn blew on his face, the inexplicable restlessness in Zheng Xiu's heart gradually calmed down.
As soon as the "Mysterious Birdman" approached the Red King's Mansion, he caused chaos among his brothers. At first, they didn't know that the "birdman" was the Red King, until the Red King landed and dispersed the half-demon posture, and a group of assassins sneaked up in the dark, and when they almost picked up the guy, they saw the Red King standing in the courtyard, looking at each other, smiling, and secretly leaving.
"I said why is this birdman so powerful, it turns out that this birdman is the old man!"
The Assassins were secretly patting the Red King's ass.
Zheng Xiu naturally heard the squirming movement in the dark, but he ignored it, touched his chest and returned to his room with a calm face.
He took off his coat, put on a clean lining, sat down cross-legged on the soft collapse, sank his mind, and entered the prison of his heart.
This time he entered the heart prison for a little longer than usual, and after Zheng Xiu entered the heart prison, he did not sit on the table. In fact, Zheng Xiu had nothing to do when he came in, he stood by the rotten iron fence, watching the fog rise and fall outside the heart prison, the fog as deep as the sea did not make Zheng Xiu feel dazed and afraid, this claustrophobic familiar scenery gradually calmed down Zheng Xiu's restless mood.
"Am I addicted to it?"
It turns out that the environment of the cell can bring safety and comfort to oneself.
When Zheng Xiu noticed this, he was speechless and laughed at himself, but he quickly accepted this fact.
His [prisoner], the source of his abilities, and all his derivatives, all come from the "prison", and it is normal to have a sense of security and dependence on the cell.
Zheng Xiu exhaled heavily.
He suddenly wanted to call Qing Thirteen and take a puff of his old dry tobacco.
I don't know how long it took, when Zheng Xiu opened his eyes, there was one more person in the room.
The long hair is tied at the back of the head, the black clothes are strong, the clothes are black, the bare feet are white, the two distinct colors are particularly eye-catching, and the round toes are slightly upturned, white as mutton fat, as if they are glowing. Feng Bei was still dressed in a familiar outfit, and she sneaked into Zheng Xiu's room at some point, she was sitting cross-legged on the table in the room, with a faint worry on her face, and looked at Zheng Xiu quietly.
"Why are you here?"
Zheng Xiu was stunned for a moment, his expression was natural, he made exaggerated movements, rubbed his hands, and said with a smile: "This marriage has not been decided yet, you will play night raids?" It's you, ma'am! ”
Feng Bei smiled slightly, opened his arms, and looked like a gentleman.
Zheng Xiu was slightly stunned, Fengbei took the initiative to jump off the table, stepped forward and gently hugged Zheng Xiu's head in his arms.
Zheng Xiu suddenly quieted down, breathed a long breath, and greedily smelled the smell of Feng Bei's body.
She had just finished taking a shower and smelled of orchids. It seems to be secretly competing with some people.
The two hugged for a while, quietly hugging.
After pressing it for a long time, Zheng Xiu almost couldn't breathe, and pulled his head out, Zheng Xiu looked up at Fengbei's worried face, and asked again, "Why are you here?" ”
Feng Bei said softly: "The wind beside you is particularly noisy tonight. ”
Zheng Xiu didn't answer.
Feng Bei smiled faintly: "It's ridiculous, it's 'her', tell me, you are restless." She closed her eyes and listened attentively, as if listening to Zheng Xiu's inner voice, and after a while, Feng Bei said again: "I heard the sound of the blades clashing." ”
Zheng Xiu comforted Fengbei in turn: "It's you, another you." ”
Feng Bei smiled but did not speak.
"Whew~"
Zheng Xiu sat on the bed and patted aside, Feng Bei understood, sat up, and the two sat side by side.
After being quiet for a while, Zheng Xiu said calmly: "I always thought I had let go. ”
"After all, Daddy has been dead for twenty years."
"My childhood memories have been blurred, and I also think it's funny, my impression of my dad is more from other people's boasting, as well as a few words in the history books, or the storyteller in the tea house, telling the story of General Zheng Haoran vividly."
Zheng Xiu lowered his head, clutching his chest, his brows furrowed.
He was pouring out to Fengbei in an unusually calm, as if he was telling a story in the past.
"My father's death changed my life. I should have enjoyed the doting of my parents, born with a golden spoon, if my father returned from victory twenty years ago, I am now the second generation, and my father's merits are enough for me to run rampant in Daqian, and be a gentleman with peace of mind. ”
"In fact, in the early years, when I was suffering, when I was bullied, I also thought many times that if my father didn't die, these people wouldn't dare to bully our two sisters and brothers."
"If Dad doesn't die, I can mix with the young general now, what kind of dragon king is angry, three thousand soldiers carry a bucket to raid the house, it's not a joke, Lao Tzu is arrogant and dares to play like this."
Fengbei touched Zheng Xiu's head, she knew Zheng Xiu, although this sentence sounded a little childish, but if Zheng Xiu was really a young general, it was very likely to do this kind of thing.
But what is a dragon king?
Feng Bei wondered in his heart.
She heard Zheng Xiu's arrogant voice in her heart.
Zheng Xiu grinned: "But the moment I saw the barbarian enter the city today, I suddenly found that I had been hiding something in my heart. ”
"A lot of emotions are tangled together."
"Together with the memories of two hundred years ago, when we lived in the Valley of the Cicada, their voices, they were taken away by Chang Yan...... I can't forget all the wailing, all the blood. ”
"Maybe these things have nothing to do with my half-dime, everything is fake, but when I look at the brute with my own eyes, these emotions are all mixed together."
Zheng Xiu smiled and put his hands together, and looked at Fengbei helplessly: "Rationality and sensibility are really two different things, I said it didn't matter, but these emotions were still fermented in my mind in an instant, and they became a kind of ...... Emotions of hatred. ”
Zheng Xiu let go of his hands: "Bang." ”
"And so it exploded."
"I should have been lying in the money nest and counting the money with peace of mind, and I shouldn't think too much about these national enemies and family hatreds." Zheng Xiu sighed: "But the brain moved on its own." ”
"No!"
Zheng Xiu finished telling Fengbei in one breath the reason for his inexplicable irritability tonight, and his mood was much more relaxed. Sure enough, it's good to have someone around who can talk, and you don't need to hide anything in your heart.
After speaking, Zheng Xiu bounced off the bed with his buttocks, put on his coat and walked out.
Feng Bei was completely stunned in the room, and asked blankly, "Where are you going?" ”
"I'm going to put incense on Daddy!"
Zheng Xiu hurriedly walked out, and disappeared in a puff of smoke.
Feng Bei stayed in the room and couldn't cry or laugh.
When Zheng Xiu came back, the people in the room went to leave incense, and Fengbei was thin-skinned and had already quietly left.
……
After the Northern Barbarian envoy entered the city, he entered the negotiation link that he liked to see.
According to the process, the negotiation process lasts as little as three to five days and as long as ten days and half a month.
Zheng Xiu didn't put this matter at ease, on the third day, he was just about to go out for a walk, pressing the road, but he was blocked by a snake at the entrance of the Red Palace.
Seeing a petite woman like a snake, curled up on the wall and motionless, like hunting, Zheng Xiu couldn't cry or laugh, and reprimanded with a straight face: "In broad daylight, what kind of body do you have to squat on the wall of the Red Palace?" If you want people to see it, won't it ruin my reputation as a red king? ”
The snake flattened its mouth, jumped down, its eyes shrunk into vertical pupils, and asked, "What about my brother?" ”
She's still looking for her brother.
The snake explained hesitantly: "Don't think about it, the snake promised my brother to help him practice!" ”
Ye warned her, don't trespass on the Red King's Mansion, the snake is very obedient, and if she doesn't trespass, she squats on the wall and guards.
As long as you don't step over the wall, it's not trespassing.
Many of the Assassins on the roof were secretly eating melons with fruit pots and melon seeds, but they had already seen someone squatting on the wall. She also recognized the snake as a member of the Disaster Prevention Bureau, and she was now wearing the "Xiaobe Ruyun Uniform" sewn by Xi'er, so she recognized it at a glance.
If it was a man lying on the wall, the Brotherhood Assassins might have stepped forward to chase people away, and let people squat down and go in a cool place. But it's a woman who squats on the wall...... It's not easy to rush. What if it's someone from the Red King? After staying in the Red King's Mansion for a long time, the assassins have a little more of a human and worldly flavor in their affairs, as long as they don't violate the principles, everything else is easy to say.
Zheng Xiu looked at the snake with a strange gaze.
The secret passage is not good.
This serpent...... Could it be that he likes "Zheng Evil" of a similar age, right?
It's going to be hard.
Do you want to have a showdown with this little girl?
How do you say that?
Twisted melons aren't sweet?
No, what if she wants to quench her thirst.
Zheng evil is destined to be a wind, the wind passes without leaving a trace, and walks through your life?
No, no, a smell of Ximen sadness, too choking.
My cat doesn't like the smell of snakes very much?
Is it really good to throw the pot to the cat like this?
After thinking about it, Zheng Xiu decided to throw it like this.
While going back, entering the dungeon, and seeing that there was no one in the dungeon, Zheng Xiu breathed a sigh of relief inexplicably, and soon, the trumpet was launched, and the boy walked out of the dungeon and led the snake into the Red King's Mansion.
On the roof, a group of brothers watched as the Red King used some kind of thaumaturgy to transform himself into a twelve-thirteen-year-old appearance, holding the girl's hand and walking inside, and suddenly shouted that he could play.
There are gossips, and even take the initiative to help, to see where Mrs. Fengbei and several other family members are now, whether they will bump into each other on the road, whether they will be caught, and at this time remind Xiao Ma whether King Chi will make great achievements and so on.
The snake's face was flushed, and she suddenly noticed that her face was hot, and she snorted.
Zheng Xiu suddenly noticed that the touch was wrong, and when he looked back, he found that the snake's body was covered with a layer of shallow silver scales, although she was wearing a veil, Zheng Xiu could still make up the snake's face.
"What are you doing with nothing to do?"
The snake snorted coldly: "You want to take care of it?" ”
The teenager shrugged and led the snake to the study.
The study is where he used to work, and without his orders, no one will enter without permission, this is the rule.
Closing the door tightly, Zheng Xiu took off his clothes a few points, revealing his white neck, turned sideways to the snake and said, "Hurry up and take a bite." ”
The snake looked at the smooth white neck, and subconsciously swallowed a mouthful of saliva, I don't know why, she looked at the neck, and a large amount of saliva was secreted in her mouth - commonly known as snake saliva, which contains high poison.
"Mouth, mouth, mouth, what?" The snake stammered.
"Bite it! What are you doing in a daze? ”
The [physique] of the evil boy incarnate soaked in a poisonous bath for several months, and finally got stuck at the level of "thirty-nine", and he couldn't go up for a long time. He had already developed resistance to Ji Honglotus's toxins, and since the snake had taken the initiative to come to the door, Zheng Xiu would naturally not let go of this rare opportunity.
The snake made a "coo" sound in his mouth, slapped a small brocade box on the table with a cold face, and said: "I only have one medicine that can detoxify snake venom, but I haven't tried it, I don't know if it can be completely detoxified, are you sure you want me to mouth, bite, bite?" ”
The young man said: "I am invincible, don't worry." ”
The snake stepped forward and pressed Zheng Xiu's hair with one hand, she secretly glanced at Zheng Xiu, and when she found that Zheng Xiu turned his head and couldn't see her face, the snake breathed a sigh of relief, took off the veil, stretched out its fangs, and the tips of its teeth glowed with cold light, and pasted it.
The snake's other hand gently stroked the skin on Zheng Xiu's neck, and the cold touch made Zheng Xiu feel that the snake's mouth had an inexplicable "ritual" feeling.
What he doesn't know is that the habits of snakes seem to have an unwritten one, when the male snake and the female snake are entangled and express their love for each other, there is a link of "exchanging snake saliva", you poison me, I poison you, only the two snakes have good saliva and poison each other, so they have the opportunity to become a snake couple.
The snake's ceremonial movements at the moment were obviously because she thought of it. She felt the skin under the snake's scales burn like fire, which was a great irritation for the cold-blooded animal, and it burned.
"Hmm~"
The tip of the forked tongue first pressed against Zheng Xiu's neck, and the cold and slippery touch at that moment made Zheng Xiu feel a thrill all over his body, and his pores stretched. He never expected that being bitten by a snake would be such a comfortable thing.
As soon as his neck was numb, Zheng Xiu didn't feel the slightest pain, but had a feeling of heaven.
Thump.
Zheng Xiu's eyes darkened and he fell to the ground.
[You tried your best to resist snake venom regardless of life and death, and your physique was trained a little. 】
[You continue to resist the 'lingering snake venom', and your physique has been greatly trained. 】
Lingering snake venom? What the heck? Snake venom variants?
Zheng Xiu, who was blackened in front of him, suddenly flashed a strange line of words in front of his eyes.
[Physique plus one.] 】
It's broken!
[Constitution] is exceptionally increased to [Resistance].
[You have successfully comprehended the 'glass purification body'! 】
