Chapter 31: The First Shot

Shao Xi didn't look back along the way. Indeed, he did not dare to look back, he heard Uzhna's crying voice, but he still did not look back. There are some roads that you can't think about turning back when you decide to go and go. When parting, Shao Xi smiled at everyone, but at this moment his face was full of tears, although he said that "his husband is not without tears, and he does not spill the parting room", but that is only in front of people. At this time, he didn't want to control his emotions anymore.

Lao Wu watched him from the side and didn't speak, just poured wine into his mouth. Maybe it's because I'm older and I'm used to these parting scenes, or maybe I know how to hide it better.

The two rode south until it was dark, and finally found a wood. The two of them lit a bonfire on the spot, took down the blankets from their horses, and prepared to spend the night there. Lao Wu handed the beef jerky and wine bag to Shao Xi and asked him to pad his stomach as well.

Shao Xi took the wine bag and said: "Old Wu, when I enter the Central Plains, my name may be targeted, should I take a pseudonym?" ”

Lao Wu nodded and said, "That's true, then what kind of pseudonym do you plan to take?" ”

"It's okay to call Shao Xi." Shao Xi felt that in this way, he didn't have to constantly remind himself that it was Feng Yuyan, it was too brain-consuming.

"Well, that's fine, you can do it." Lao Wu didn't say much.

Shao Xi's beef jerky had just been stuffed into his mouth, and before he had even taken a few bites, he heard a rapid and noisy sound of horses' hooves in the distance. Looking through the moonlight, it was estimated that there were more than 20 horses, and they were coming quickly in the direction of himself and Lao Wu.

"At this time, there is still a horse team, and it is estimated that the two of us are in trouble."

Lao Wu is an old Jianghu, he knows a lot of things on the rivers and lakes very well, and he is also very clear about the activities of the Jianghu people. In this part of the fortress, there is also a horse caravan activity after dark, which is not an urgent matter, that is, the horse bandits who like to attack the rest caravan at night. If it was really a horse bandit, it was estimated that he would "beat the rabbit with grass" and not let go of the two of them.

Sure enough, Lao Wu guessed right. When the group walked in front of them, they were indeed dressed as a group of horse bandits who intercepted the caravan and robbed the property, judging from the horses and weapons, they should all be from the Central Plains. At the head were two horses, one of which had a woman tied to her, who did not look very old, but was estimated to be seventeen or eighteen years old.

The person who immediately tied the woman looked fish-eyed and cheeky, the shape of the whole head was like a pear, and the corners of his mouth drooped with two sparse mustaches, which was very ugly. There was a long knife hanging from his waist, and it smelled of blood.

The other person is the opposite, looking to be in his twenties, with sword eyebrows and starry eyes, good looks, and a burly figure, which looks extremely incommensurate with the word "horse bandit". The man was carrying a glittering spear in his hand, which seemed to be a good thing.

Seeing this scene, Lao Wu hurriedly stepped forward to take the initiative to say hello.

"It turned out to be a friend of the ligature (on the road), everyone is Hewu (the same way in the rivers and lakes), in the next with this bud (young man) passing by here, leading a nail (roasting a fire), hitting a sharp (eating something), can a friend step on a little wider (raise his hand and put a horse)." As he spoke, Lao Wu clenched his fists and arched his hand.

Lao Wu's fist is very particular, the right hand is five lakes, the left hand is four seas, and the left thumb should be hidden behind the right hand fist, otherwise the other party will think that you think you are big and disrespect him.

"Yo! It turned out to be an old man (bandit), this big muddy (big night), here to fight the sharp? Don't you want to go online to open a crime (commit a crime in this area)? My Shijintang is in the area of the wild wolf slope to set up a kiln (to build a mountain), and your tricks (eyes) had better be brightened. The pear head said in a loud voice.

"Don't dare, don't dare! That's what the Scoop (Chief) said. I'm just borrowing a way, how dare I fight for ginger slices (meat) in the lotus seeds (bowls) of my online friends (local snakes). ”

As soon as Lao Wu heard that the other party was a bandit leader, he immediately bowed forward, raised his left hand over his right shoulder and gave a thumbs up, taking the other party as the big one to show respect.

"Let's report Wan'er (let's report a surname)."

"Burn the dry pot (Hu) Wan'er under it."

"It turned out to be a shopkeeper Hu, since he said that he borrowed the way, then hang a Jumizi (then filial piety and some silver)."

When Lao Wu heard this, he hurriedly took out a silver collar from his arms and offered it with both hands.

That Shi Jintang took the silver and shook it in his hand, and said lazily: "Two cross-winders (horseback) borrowed the way to take such a little?" But for the sake of today's new beans (girl), or a descendant kiln (a woman from a good family), you can enjoy it when you go back at night, and just offer the two horses in your hands. ”

After speaking, Shi Jintang motioned for his subordinates to come and pull Shao Xi and Lao Wu's horses.

Shao Xi didn't understand when he heard that the two of them were covered in clouds and mountains there, and watched Lao Wu Pandao (clichΓ©) go out for a lot of silver, and then saw that the other party was coming over and wanted to take away his horse, so the boss was unwilling.

"Wait! If you don't know how to talk well, forget it, if you can't do things well, leave quickly, don't think that you are the boss if there are too many people. ”

It is said that newborn calves are not afraid of tigers, and Shao Xi's words scared Lao Wu.

"Yo he! This bud turned out to be an empty (a rookie who doesn't understand the affairs of the rivers and lakes), this is to want to do it (hands-on)? ”

After speaking, Shi Jintang turned his head to the other person led by him and said, "Shoulder to shoulder (friend), didn't you say that you want to rely on the kiln (refuge)?" Kill them, pluck the ladle (cut off the head) of this kid, even if you accept the petition (kill to show sincerity). ”

When Lao Wu heard that this was going to do something, he didn't care about breaking some black words with the other party, so he hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Ladies and gentlemen, don't be angry, this is just a child who is ignorant." Our two are going to Yangbu (to the south), and it is indeed not possible to do without these two horses, and I hope that you will raise your noble hands and make it convenient. ”

"Convenient? It's convenient for you, but it's inconvenient for me. Ding Yu'an, do it. ”

The other person named Ding Yu'an hesitated for a moment, then turned over and dismounted and walked in front of Shao Xi, holding a gun and holding a fist in his hand and said: "In Xia Ding Yu'an, persuade my brother to hand over the horses, it is convenient for everyone." Otherwise, you can only offend in the next. ”

Shao Xi glanced at Ding Yu'an up and down, hugged his fists and saluted back: "Under Shao Xi, look at your brother, you are dignified and talented, how can you do this thing of robbing the house?" ”

Ding Yu'an's face was ashamed, and he stopped talking. After a moment, he seemed to have made up his mind, and put his spear in his mouth, "Offended!" ”

I saw a blue spear appear, took off the gun, and attacked straight at Shao Xi's chest. Shao Xi instantly felt a cold chill, but if this shot was hit on his body, he would definitely pass through his chest and die immediately!

"Oh? Three products? Shao Xi exclaimed in a low voice, and the emerald feather sword was also unsheathed. As the sword was unsheathed, an emerald cyan sword qi flew out of the sword towards the spear on the opposite side.

Ding Yu'an, who was on the other side, was also secretly surprised when he saw the emerald feather sword in Shao Xi's hand and the oncoming sword qi. It can be seen that the sword in the opponent's hand is by no means an ordinary thing, it is many times stronger than the gun in his hand, and the sword qi that flies is full of vitality, which seems to be several times more powerful than his gun.

At the same time that the two of them sighed at each other's strength in their hearts, the two transformational vitality had already collided together. Hearing only a "bang", Ding Yu'an's spear was completely dissolved by Shao Xi's sword qi in an instant, but the sword qi did not disappear, and continued to fly towards Ding Yu'an with a strong residual energy.

Ding Yu'an saw that Shao Xi was fighting with a sword, and at the same time launched a counterattack while defusing his offensive with only one sword, it was too late to fight back or dodge, so he hurriedly condensed the vitality in his body to release it, forming a qi shield outside his body. Although he wasn't sure if his qi shield could catch Shao Xi's sword, he had no choice at this time.

Bang......

Ding Yu'an's qi shield disappeared immediately, and his entire body also slid backwards for more than a zhang, but he was not damaged in the slightest, which made him secretly marvel in his heart. While being able to complete the defense and counterattack between the swords, he also grasped the strength of the sword qi so appropriately, so that he could only break the enemy and not hurt people, which really made him feel admired.

With only one sword, Shao Xi only used one sword to make Ding Yuan give up the idea of fighting him again. This is the first time Shao Xi has officially fought with someone since he practiced martial arts, although he has practiced the condensation, transformation, release, and body breaking of the vitality countless times in his daily cultivation, but it is the first time that he has really used it against the enemy, and it seems that the effect is very good. It excites him.

Ding Yu'an put away his body, hugged his fist to Shao Xi again, and said, "I lost!" No wonder Shaoxia was so confident just now, I didn't expect you to look younger than me, and you have such profound skills. In the lower Gan bow to the wind, convinced orally. ”

Shao Xi had put the sword in his sheath, and he was reluctant to let others take a closer look at such a beautiful sword. smiled and said to Ding Yu'an: "I can't imagine that your marksmanship has been cultivated to the level of the third grade, and with your strength, you don't look like a person who is a horse bandit, which is really a pity." ”

Ding Yu'an looked ashamed again when he heard this, and sighed softly, as if he had some unspeakable secrets, but he didn't explain too much.

At this time, Lao Wu was already scared out of white sweat. Although he has been guiding Shao Xi to practice martial arts for more than nine years, in addition to his practical experience in body techniques, even he himself does not know what virtues he has taught Shao Xi in terms of facing enemies. Now seeing that the two sides stopped fighting after making the right move, they hurriedly ran forward and made a thin mud.

"You two are young heroes, you are chess opponents, you will meet good talents, you are also heroes who know heroes, and heroes cherish heroes!"

Shao Xixin said, what kind of mess are you doing? Where did that cowardice go just now?

Puff ......

While a few people were talking, the woman on Shi Jintang's horse had been thrown to the ground. I saw Shi Jintang jump off the horse and walk to Ding Yu'an's side with a shy stomach.

"Ding Yu'an, what's the matter with you? I'm asking you to kill them, but I'm not asking you to stand here and make friends with them. Shi Jintang said a little angrily.

Ding Yuan bowed down and said: "I'm sorry, the big boss, I'm not his opponent." ”

"Rubbish! I took you in when I saw that you were pitiful, and even an old man and a little cub couldn't handle it properly, so what was the use of me keeping you? ”

"Why don't you try it yourself?" Shao Xi was hooking his fingers at him with a wicked smile.
