Chapter 9 The shepherd boy refers to Xinghua Village

Although he didn't care, Li Tianxia, who was inevitably curious in his heart, finally heard his name.

Huang Xiang'er, who was dressed as a man, spent a lot of effort searching in the order of the Hundred Soldiers to no avail, and finally had a flash of inspiration and counted down from back to front to find it.

"Sixty-four, Yanyu Sword. ”

Su Hanshan and Gu Changting were laughing.

Huang Shang'er was also laughing: "It turned out to be the top three." ”

Li Tianxia's face was pale, and he had the urge to carry a sword to repair that Bai Xiaosheng.

However, because of his identity, he really resisted this impulse, but he couldn't help but stay in this Sanhualou for a while: "Gone, it's all the words of a family that can't be studied!"

After Su Hanshan and a few people left, customers from all walks of life also left Sanhualou one after another.

Today, Bai Xiaosheng announced the first hundred soldiers, and in less than five days, this list representing the ranking of the weapons in the year of the Jianghu Jiazi will be known to the world.

And Bai Xiaosheng also expected that in the future, there would be people in the rivers and lakes who had a negative attitude towards the authority of the Hundred Soldiers, so on the occasion of individual visitors, he did not retreat but advanced, declared that he was willing to accept any doubts, and encouraged the weapons to be included in the list of weapons in the Hundred Soldiers to prove his name to the world.

In the scattered flower building that was gradually empty, a person walked out of the private room that had been closed from beginning to end.

The man looked over the railing, looked at Bai Xiaosheng who seemed to be waiting for him downstairs, and said, "Do you know what the consequences of your behavior will be?"

Coughing lightly, Bai Xiaosheng hugged his fists as a salute: "What did Brother Chu say, could it be that it will disturb the rivers and lakes?"

A hundred soldiers' book came out, and the famous weapons in the year of the rivers and lakes were listed in the list, which is bound to cause a bloody storm in the rivers and lakes that have been calm for a long time.

He didn't believe that Bai Xiaosheng's wisdom would not be able to see through this, so he frowned: "Do you think it won't?"

Bai Xiaosheng said with a smile: "Since the Spring and Autumn Period, this river and lake has been dead for too long, and it can stir up angry waves with a single stroke to add a little fun to the rivers and lakes, and Xiaosheng is proud of it." ”

The man was silent and went downstairs.

He rubbed shoulders with Bai Xiaosheng and paused for a moment: "You should be glad that you are a scholar, otherwise before the debate in the Eighteen Miles Apricot Altar begins, this Zhaoqing will have sent you to see Sage Kong." ”

......

The sunset is red.

A burst of autumn geese flying in the red sky like blood, looking from a distance, it seems that a strange dark cloud floats towards Yangzhou City.

The autumn song of the wild goose crosses the sky.

When they swept across the sky above Yangzhou City, they were suddenly startled by a loud shepherd flute and fled in all directions.

The shepherd's flute was played by a little shepherd boy.

In the twilight, the little shepherd boy sat at the head of the city, swinging his legs leisurely. At the city gate directly below the little shepherd boy, the young master riding the bull was half-conscious and drunk.

He carried a sword, and on it hung a jug.

He blocked the gate of Yangzhou City and said that he wanted to make a deal.

That deal was a human head.

He said he would cut off a head for silver and buy wine to drink.

There are many outsiders in Yangzhou City, and outsiders are also Jianghu people. After Bai Xiaosheng's first Hundred Soldiers came out, these people did not leave in a hurry, because they knew very well in their hearts that if a weapon spectrum ranking provoked the rivers and lakes and mountains and rain, then the yin wind must be in this city.

They don't know if the son who rides a bull and carries a sword under the city is a strange yin wind, and they don't care, they gather here, at least they can watch an extraordinary excitement before falling asleep on a rainy night, isn't it?

......

"The man is still following?"

He planned to leave Yangzhou before dark and night, and borrowed a convoy from Luofu Mountain, ten miles outside the city, to drive towards the city gate.

Su Hanshan and Huang Xiang'er sat in the carriage.

Thinking of the strange young man who had followed the horse and hung the sword like a ghost since he appeared, Su Hanshan couldn't help but lift the curtain of the car and ask the leisurely prince.

Li Tianxia, who was riding a horse to see the remnant sun, looked back, jumped over the crowded crowd, and found the strange man who was following closely behind the convoy and kept a certain distance: "What do you say?"

Gu Changting, who was accompanying him next to the carriage, said: "When he leaves the city, whether he is friend or foe, his subordinates will let him have a showdown." ”

Li Tianxia waved his hand: "You don't have to wait until you get out of the city, it's not easy to want to know?"

Su Hanshan asked, "Do you have a way?"

Li Tianxia pretended to smile deeply: "What do you say?"

"What's the solution?"

"Ask......"

"That's it, that's it?"

"Or else?"

Su Hanshan had nothing to say.

He suddenly felt that he was stupid enough to believe Li Tianxia's nonsense.

Thinking that he had finally won against you, a sharp-toothed little monk, Li Tianxia, who was extremely comfortable, clamped the horse's belly hard, turned the horse's head, and really went.

Although Li Tianxia's martial arts cultivation was not weak, Su Hanshan, who was still faintly worried, saw that after the prince returned, he ordered Gu Changting to let the convoy slow down a little.

The young man in coarse linen clothes who was leading the horse and hanging the sword saw Li Tianxia coming, and a pair of bright eyes stared at him tightly, which made him extremely uncomfortable. It was like going back to hell and being treated like a death row inmate with an unforgivable sin, and his hands trembled unconsciously when he thought of those dark and lawless days.

Then he lowered his head, wanting to avoid Li Tianxia's condescending gaze.

Li Tianxia shushed the horses.

The young man with his horse and sword also stopped.

The prince looked at him and smiled and said, "You know me?"

The young man looked up slightly, thought for a moment, and nodded.

The crown prince pointed to the carriage in front of him and continued to ask, "You also know him?"

The young man nodded again.

The crown prince narrowed his eyes and asked, "So you are an enemy?"

The young man shook his head.

"That's a friend?"

The young man was silent.

This time, he didn't nod or shake his head.

Since he was a child, he was imprisoned in a dark prison as a slave to sin, and the word friend was too foreign to him. And unfamiliar things tend to make him fearful, so he doesn't like to make friends.

He is accustomed to being accompanied by loneliness, and he is also accustomed to being accompanied by the sword.

Seeing that the other party was silent, Li Tianxia already had a little guess in his heart, so he asked without scruples: "You are from Su Tang?"

The young man in Mai didn't intend to hide his identity and followed all the way, but he was just not good at expressing it, so he nodded again.

Li Tianxia showed a smile: "So you were also ordered to escort the little monk back to the north?"

The young man nodded for the fourth time.

Li Tianxia asked: "Your surname is Chu?"

The young man looked at Li Tianxia with surprise on his face.

Li Tianxia spread his hands: "Don't ask me how I know, because even if you ask, I won't say it." ”

The young man finally spoke.

His voice was a little hoarse, as if he hadn't spoken for a long time: "Chu of Western Chu." ”

Although he had already guessed in his heart that this person was a descendant of the Empress of the Western Chu Sword, Li Tianxia, who was still quite surprised when he heard it with his own ears, asked, "Your name?"

The young man said the word Chu, and then paused: "Chu, Doorman! Trumenke......"

Li Tianxia returned to the team.

The young man with his sword on his hand continued to follow silently.

Su Hanshan lifted the curtain of the car, looked at Li Tianxia's smiling face, and wanted to ask the result. But as soon as he thought of the prince's smug face, he swallowed the words without any flaws.

Sure enough, Li Tianxia, who had never been able to hide his secret, took the initiative to explain: "It seems that your emperor father doesn't care about your life or death." ”

Su Hanshan was slightly stunned when he heard this.

I thought that it was the same as General Gu, and he was also sent by his father to escort him back to the north?

What a strange person!

Gu Changting, who was accompanying him on horseback, also breathed a sigh of relief.

originally thought that escorting His Royal Highness the Nine Emperor Princes back to the north was an extremely boring thing, but before leaving, he still complained that his uncle recommended him to the court was really useless.

But this road back to the north has only been going for a few days, and it has given him an inexplicable sense of heaviness and urgency. Since the assassination of the Yunlai Inn, Gu Changting has always had a hidden worry.

Shouldering a heavy burden! It seems that this errand is far more complicated than he imagined! He even feels that the next road will be more difficult every day!

As soon as this thought flashed, Gu Changting saw the congestion at the city gate.

There are ordinary people, as well as people from all over the world, more than 1,000 people are crowded behind the city gate at sunset.

At the head of the city sat a flute boy.
