Chapter 8: A Blessing in Disguise
As everyone knows, Western Qin swordsmanship is unique in the world. Eight or nine out of ten of the www.biquge.info swordsmen came from Great Qin, the swordsmen of Western Qin, and the swordsmen of Western Qin Xie Xuan and Yan Shiqin. There are two brothers, one of whom practices the royal sword, and pays attention to the grandeur and majesty like a high mountain. One person practices the domineering sword, pays attention to indomitable, and rushes like the Nu River. Two brothers, each has a number of proud disciples, among which two are especially famous, one is the face of the crown of jade surnamed Ying surnamed swordsman, this person studied under the royal sword Xie Xuan thirteen years, the world does not know its name, then its sword name is Ying Beidou, also known as the Beidou Sword Immortal. The second is a more elegant nameless swordsman, who has studied under the domineering sword Yan Shiqin for more than 20 years, because he claims that the world has seven kills, and is also known as the Seven Kills Sword Demon. Both of them are rumored to be at the pinnacle of their lives. The Beidou Sword Immortal is in a state of seclusion all the year round, but it is often born under the Seven Killing Sword Demon Sect, and the Tsing Yi case that has caused a sensation in the world is the assassin of the Sword Demon Sect, who lurked in the Great Yan Palace for seven days, and finally succeeded in one blow, including the Yan King, a total of eleven people were killed with a sword, and the Yan King Palace was enshrined, and the swordsman was killed seven people, and the warlock was killed three people. Among them, one person has the sword out of the sheath, three people who have half sheathed, and three people who have not sheathed it. Warlocks died of ignorance. The rest of the people only saw a Tsing Yi not falling and then floating, so it was called the Tsing Yi case.
Since then, the world has been shaken, and the Chen army on the border between Qin and Zhao is one million, and when Dayan is in chaos, he will wave his army north. Empress Yan presided over the funeral of the first king, and waved her sword to cut off her arm and put it in the coffin to accompany the burial. The youngest son thought that he was the king of Yan. Rectify the government army formation, and transfer 300,000 million iron cavalry stationed in the north to the south. At the same time, 200,000 private soldiers were recruited from various nobles. and Qin and Zhao confronted each other in the north and south. After March, Qin Zhao withdrew from the army.
These stories made Xu Ao in this life enthusiastic and excited, full of hope to meet the assassin who caused chaos in the world by this sword. But he never thought that the Tsing Yi assassin hadn't seen it yet, but he was knocked unconscious by a hairy foot assassin who came out of nowhere. In particular, this first hand knife was because of his turn and knocked out his big teeth.
When Xu Ao woke up, he was already lying on the bed, and Xi Zheng was holding seven or eight teeth with a handkerchief with a smile on his face. When he woke up, he handed over the handkerchief.
Xu Ao saw the teeth full of handkerchiefs, and then tried to lick the slightly undulating gums. A straight lady thief hovered in her throat, but she didn't dare to come out. After all, psychologically, he still has some scruples about this handsome and incomparable Xi-sama.
Xi put the handkerchief on the head of the bed, turned to leave, and when he walked out of the door, he left a sentence: "I will come to see you in a few days"
As soon as Xi came out of the small courtyard, he met Qin Lao, who had been waiting for a long time. Xi Xiao made a series: "Qin Lao"
Qin Lao stared at the wing room in the small courtyard, and unhurriedly grinded the Bodhi in his hand: "Is there anything abnormal?"
"Xia Guan has already brought someone to confirm that this son has no traces of cultivation, nor has he practiced martial arts, and the calluses in his palm should be born from farming. ”
"Don't make a mistake because of love" Qin Lao turned around and left, and after three steps, he changed from the high-ranking Lord Duwei to the smiling old butler.
Xi bowed to the end behind his back: "The lower officials don't dare"
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Before I knew it, I had been in Sunset Pass for a few days. The rain continued for several days. The whole city was as if it had just been fished out of the water. The clothes and bedding were all wet and sticky. The clothes that were dried by the fire every night did not last until noon, and they became freshly washed again.
Fortunately, the roads in the city are all huge stone slabs, and the occasional alleys are also full of green bricks, so that the ground will not be muddy.
These days, maybe it's raining, maybe it's sad. Xu Ao was alone in the room arranged by Qin Lao. Except for three meals a day, the rest of the time is like a puppet. Get up on time, drink porridge on time, and spend the rest of the time sitting on the ground in a daze. During this period, the man in black, who was called Lord Xi by Qin Lao, also came to see him a few times, but when he saw him like this, he often only glanced at him outside the house through the door frame, and then turned to leave.
Perhaps, this Xi-sama, who had had a similar experience, felt that letting him be quiet was the best choice for this moment.
Xu Ao was carrying the seven or eight teeth that had fallen, and he couldn't help but miss the old widower who regarded him as a treasure.
He said at the time that when he changed his teeth, he would ask him for a daughter-in-law. The old widower didn't want to think about what girl would be willing to marry with the appearance of his family. Hey, it's a pity, good people don't live long. It's not good to like anyone, but I like the pretty widow whose husband died.
When I am ignorant, I always think that black is black and white is white. A good man is a good man, and a wicked man is an evil man. As I grew up and gradually saw all kinds of frontiers, I found that most of the things in the original world were gloomy, and it was not so easy to distinguish between good and bad. Just like Widow Li's betrayal, according to the laws of Great Qin, she is considered a good citizen, and she reported the people who tried to flee in vain. From her own point of view, betraying an old man who likes her but has nothing to do with it will not only save her from the calamity that may befall her, but also get a reward, and perhaps if any adult suddenly has a good heart, she will be able to get rid of the bitter cold outside the gate. Even, if there is an adult、、、。 However, all this destroyed his only relative in the world.
Can it be said that the Qin army is very bad? They just do things according to the law. The border is bitterly cold, and they are far away from their relatives, wives and children in the customs, and it is already very remarkable that they can not burn, kill, loot, or rob the people's daughters.
It's just that they were reincarnated outside the gate, and it's strange that they have no ability to protect themselves.
In the world, you can't tell right from wrong, and you can't tell from black and white. When the most basic right and wrong can't be distinguished, Xu Ao is confused. He understands everything, and he can distinguish and see everything. It's just that the death of the old widower, the arrow that pierced the skull, made him unable to let go and look away. Hate, hate. At that time, he hated Widow Li and the Qin army, and he longed for them to die. But in the past few days, I can't hate it anymore, maybe I don't regard myself as a person in this world after all, and I look at everything from a cold sidestander's angle, so I naturally can't hate it. Xu Ao laughed at himself, revealing toothless gums.
Squeak, the man in black known as Yumi-sama walked in. Still dressed in black. Narrow neckline with tight sleeves and a belt made of black water snakeskin. Under his feet is a pair of combat boots made of unknown leather.
Xu Ao raised his head and looked at Lord Xi's face with a slight indifference: "How is Widow Li?"
It seems that he didn't expect this little doll with a leaky mouth to ask about Widow Li first, Xi was stunned for a moment, brushed off the hem of his clothes, and sat cross-legged opposite the dog: "Dead"
"How did you die?"
"Buried alive"
"Why"
"Because, I hate being betrayed. ”
Xu Ao was silent, and after a while: "But, she's right."
Xi seemed a little surprised that this child, who seemed to be only six or seven years old, could say such a thing. Xi smiled: "But I think she's damned."
Xu Ao looked directly into Xi's eyes, as if he was a little angry at the understatement in this tone: "You are not right, how can you decide a person's life or death because of your own selfish thoughts"
Xi smiled and touched Xu Ao's head: "It seems that I avenged you, but you are not very happy."
"It was Qin Jun's arrow that killed my father, what does it have to do with her?"
"Don't forget, kid, this is the border gate. There is no law, no judgment. Here it is, and it's just the border pass. If the guards at the border pass are cruel and murderous, the border people will be miserable. If the guards of the border pass know the etiquette and kindness, but the people of the border city will be treated well, and it has nothing to do with the border people outside the border. The border people are just a group of people who are swaying between two countries, and neither country will attach importance to them, nor will they give limited goodness to those border people who may become enemies at any time. Therefore, in the eyes of the guards of Great Qin, the border people are not the people of Great Qin at all. If you are not a citizen of Great Qin, what does it matter if you kill or not. Xi seemed to recall the first time, when the previous Xi enlightened him, he did not have the understanding and spirituality of this child. He couldn't figure it out, and he couldn't get out of the pain of his family dying in the war. The previous one's eve sat across from him as he does now. Look at him, just look at it for three days. In the end, he only said one sentence, and now, he feels compelled to convey it to this lonely child: "If you want to have no more wars, no more border people, no more countries and discrimination, then you will become the sharpest sword in the king's hand and help the king rule the world." Sometimes, destroying a country is also saving a country. ”
Alas, although it is a different world, this Great Qin is Great Qin after all: "Is King Qin going to rebel against Zhou?" ”
"In this world, who doesn't betray Zhou?" Xi's face no longer had the smile that seemed to be full of indifference to everything in the past, and gradually became a little bitter: "King Taoguang of Zhou is obscure, the princes of the world attack each other, the big countries are stronger and stronger, and the small countries are gradually dying out. The ancestors of my family were originally Zhou people, living under Qishan, and the overturning between the princes ruined Qishan Village. I was adopted by my previous predecessor. Sent to the outside of the customs to practice swordsmanship and magic. When the previous one dies, I will return to succeed him. Do you know why I didn't kill you? just because the pain you looked like I did when you passed out. Xi stood up and looked at Xu Ao condescendingly: "If you don't want these tragic things to happen again, I'll show you three ways." 1. Go to the gate to find the Western Qin Sword Saint, and after completing your studies, you can kill all the greedy generals who are reckless at the border, and you can keep a place safe for several years. Second, go to the Hojing of the Great Zhou Dynasty, find a bachelor looking for plums, and learn the strategy of governing the world and saving the country, which can ensure the prosperity of a country for decades. 3. Enter the martial arts hall of Great Qin, learn the art of the battle array, and help the King of Qin to dominate the world, which can ensure the prosperity of the world for a hundred years. Xi turned his head to leave, but stopped again: "Regarding the cultivation of magic, don't think about it." It was something that only noble-blooded princes and nobles could cultivate. In the future, even if you talk in your dreams, you must be able to distinguish what you can say and what you can't say. It is forbidden for the gatekeeper to intermarry with the commoners, and you are guilty of a taboo idea. will get yourself into trouble. With that, he pushed the door open and left.
Alas, I just don't know, if Xi knew that my painful expression in the middle of the night was because of a toothache, would it be 、、、、 but it was a blessing in disguise, and I didn't have to worry about my life for the time being. Xi's beauty is good, but it's a pity that it's a man.
