"Boom"

At night, dark clouds suddenly rise, and the sky is like ink. A few thunderbolts flashed, and the torrential rain poured down for a while. The town, which had been boiling all day, finally fell silent in a torrential rain.

The human voice is no longer heard. I only heard the raindrops falling, knocking on the earth, and there was a "boom" noise.

The Lujia Inn in Yongan Town. I stood in front of the window of my guest room, watching the rain fall like a pillar outside the window, and I still felt uneasy when I remembered the battle just now.

I didn't mean to, but I cut off the scarred man's hand. And it was his right hand with the sword. How can a Jianghu man hold a sword when he has no right hand? At that time, I learned that his name was Xu Baochun, and he was Bai Jingxing's third disciple.

Xu Baochun's resentful eyes were still swirling in my mind as he left. The look in his eyes was like a poisonous thorn, which made me chill for a while.

"How are you?" Satsuki walked into my room, her eyes filled with concern.

I said, "I'm just a little scared." ”

There was a faint smile on Xiaoyue's face, and my heart warmed, and I was immediately relieved. "It's already happening, don't think about it anymore," she said. ”

I still couldn't let go of it, saying, "I've killed people, but I've never cut off someone's hand." ”

Xiao Yue said: "You're not afraid of killing, are you still afraid of cutting off other people's hands?"

I compared the feelings of the two in my heart, and I said, "I'm afraid that Xu Baochun will come to take revenge." ”

Satsuki said, "Let him go." The Qingyun Sect won't look for you. ”

I asked, "Why won't the Qingyun Sect look for me?"

Satsuki sighed and said, "You shouldn't have made a move. He can't hurt me, but I don't want to hurt him. ”

I was puzzled and asked, "Why?"

Xiao Yue said: "Maybe you don't know that you have been carefully used by Yi. ”

Easy to use me carefully?

I said, "How is that possible? How does he use me?"

Xiao Yue said: "With Yi Careful martial arts, do you really think that he can't stop a Xu Baochun? He just wants to borrow my hand except for Xu Baochun." It is precisely because I saw through this that I did not want to draw my sword. You, on the other hand, are too impulsive. She looked at me with a glint in her eyes that I couldn't understand. The light was so soft, so soft that my heart melted.

I asked, "Why did he get rid of Xu Baochun?"

Xiaoyue said: "Maybe it's because Xu Baochun is not obedient enough, maybe there are other things." But none of this matters anymore, because the purpose of being cautious has been achieved. Xu Baochun has become a waste, he can no longer hold a sword, and he will no longer threaten Yi Jing. ”

I remembered the incident at the Huaixiang Tavern that day. Yi carefully exposed the man who pretended to be Bai Jingxing, and after he left, Lou Qin once said that Yi Jing was scheming. At the time, I didn't quite understand it. Now, after listening to Xiaoyue's explanation, I really feel the deep meaning of Lou Qin's words.

Easy to be careful, it's really powerful. It was terrifying.

When I came back to my senses, I suddenly found that Satsuki was staring straight at me. I made eye contact with her, but she looked away in a trance. Listening to the sound of rain outside the window, we were silent for a long time.

Satsuki asked, "Why did you stand in front of me at that time, and what were you going to do?"

Why? Because I don't want you to get hurt! That's what I thought at the time, looking at Satsuki's gentle eyes, I couldn't say anything.

Satsuki looked at me for a long time, and I struggled for a long time. She suddenly sighed and said, "Forget it, if you don't say it, I understand." ”

I asked, "What do you understand?"

Xiao Yue suddenly became ashamed, and she said, "I understand what you were thinking at the time. ”

I panicked. Does she really know what I was thinking? Does she blame me for having thoughts about her that I shouldn't have? She's a woman who covers her face when she goes out, and she must hate what people think of her.

Will she kill me? Just like the four of the Kucang faction in the Jianghu Inn.

Satsuki didn't draw her sword and didn't look angry. She just hugged herself with both hands, and the cold wind blew into the window, carrying a trace of rain, and she said, "I'm a little cold." ”

I quickly turned around and said, "I'll go get a mattress and wrap you in it." ”

Satsuki stopped me coldly and said, "Come back!"

I asked, "What's wrong?"

Xiao Yue said: "I'm not cold again. ”

I groaned, flustered. I have never been so helpless in front of a woman, even in front of Lou Qin, I can still maintain my previous calmness. But in front of Satsuki, all I could feel was fear. I'm afraid she'll see through my mind, I'm afraid she'll be angry, I'm afraid she'll seal my throat with a sword.

After another long silence. Satsuki asked, "You...... Don't you have anything to say to me?"

I thought about it and said, "Yes!"

Xiao Yue's cheeks suddenly flushed, she lowered her head, the corners of her mouth raised a smile, and asked, "What words?"

I said, "Otherwise, I'll wrap you in a mattress."

Satsuki raised her head suddenly, staring straight at me, her blue eyes like blue waves as if they were about to erupt into flames. She gritted her teeth and said fiercely, "Ji Danbing......! You're such a fool!" and she walked away, leaving me at a loss.

What am I doing wrong again?

Actually, I was wrong all along. I shouldn't have walked into this world, I shouldn't have been the leader of the martial arts alliance, I shouldn't have known Xiaoyue, and I shouldn't have fallen in love with her.

This night, I didn't sleep all night. Satsuki's shadow seemed to be shaking and lingering in my eyes all the time.

Early the next morning.

I mustered up the courage to yell twice in the room. Because, I think I have to go to Satsuki and ask, what did I do wrong, why did she leave in anger last night?

The shopkeeper pushed open the door with a "bang", his face was full of uneasiness, and he asked, "Guest officer, are you okay?"

I?

I said, "I'm fine!"

The shopkeeper looked around and muttered, "It's okay, what's the call, scare me!"

He turned around and was about to leave, when I yelled: "You stop!" Dare to talk to me like this, do you know that Lao Tzu is the leader of the martial arts alliance appointed by the emperor!

The shopkeeper was so frightened by my roar that he trembled, turned around and asked, "Guest officer, what else do you have to order?"

Looking at his appearance, I suddenly couldn't bear to reprimand him again. I said, "It's fine. ”

The shopkeeper scolded and left.

Let him be. At this time, I was more anxious for Satsuki. Her performance last night made me very uneasy.

Walking around to Satsuki's room, I took a heavy breath. Still feeling tense and numb with trembling hands, I slammed two punches in my chest, closed my eyes, and knocked on the door.

"Satsuki?"

For a long time, there was no response. I'll knock at the door again.

"Knock knock".

I felt like thunder, and I was so nervous that I lost sensation in both legs and feet. However, there was still no movement in Satsuki's room.

I had the courage to push hard. With a "squeak", the door opened, and a familiar aroma came to the face, but the room was empty.

Satsuki is gone!

I hurriedly turned around to look for it, but saw Liu Wufeng standing behind me with the knife.

"Holy!" I exclaimed, "When did you come?"

Liu Wufeng said lightly: "When you hammered your chest." ”

I asked, "What about Satsuki?"

Liu Wufeng said, "Let's go." ”

My mind was empty and I asked, "Where have you been?"

Liu Wufeng said: "She didn't say it. ”

The tension of the morning seemed to be drained away at this moment, and perhaps something else was taken away, because I only felt empty in my heart, and even my mind was blank.

Just thought, where did Satsuki go?

Liu Wufeng said, "She asked me to tell you. ”

I suddenly rekindled my hope and asked, "What did she say?"

Liu Wufeng said: "She said, I don't want to pay attention to you fool anymore. ”

The second thing I hate in my life is that people call me stupid. But I can't hate Satsuki at all. The "idiot" had been completely ignored by me, and all I could hear was that she didn't want to pay attention to me.

All day, I felt confused and couldn't lift my spirits.

After Liu Wufeng lived in the inn, he was not as bold as in Zhujialing. He became so competitive that he even had to pay for a plate of broad beans.

I watched him count the broad beans one by one, and before he could finish counting, he slapped the table: "Little Er!

The shopkeeper ran to Liu Wufeng with a huff and sneered, "Guest officer, what do you command?"

Liu Wufeng's eyes widened, making the shopkeeper tremble in fright. He said: "There were still 28 broad beans on a plate last night, why is it 25 today?

The shopkeeper looked embarrassed and said, "This, this...... When the plate is served, you can't count them one by one. ”

Liu Wufeng pulled out half of the knife with a "bang", and said angrily: "I see that you are clearly a black shop!"

The shopkeeper was so frightened that he squatted on the ground, waved his hand again and again, and said, "The guest officer is angry, the guest officer is angry, I'll go serve another plate." ”

Liu Wufeng stuffed the knife back and said lightly, "Go quickly!"

The shopkeeper ran into the back kitchen with a crawl. I said, "Isn't it just three broad beans?" You can be reimbursed anyway. ”

Liu Wufeng said: "That's not good!

I said, "It's just three broad beans, and it's impossible to exceed the standard anyway." ”

Liu Wufeng said: "If you can save it, you will save it, and the rest will be your own." ”

I was silent. At this time, more than a dozen figures flashed into the inn one after another, led by a middle-aged fat man, perhaps caused by obesity, he was loose up and down, his cuffs and trouser legs were rolled up high, and he was holding half a silver gun in his hand, which looked a little sloppy, but his chest was tightly wrapped, and there seemed to be some unsightly secret.

He is......

I fumbled around in my head. suddenly remembered the secret conversation in the Louqin Inn on the night of the Middle Yuan last year. This person is the head of the Nanhua faction, and he sent Situ Qingchen, nicknamed "Fat Cat"!

(Situ Qingchen made a cameo again, thanking Situ for his selfless dedication, and then he will contract a big laugh in this book, and everyone is welcome to support Situ's masterpiece "The Doctrine"!)
