Chapter 4: Mystery Tokens
In a dilapidated hut in the slums of the imperial capital, a voice of surprise came out.
"Sister Piaoxue, you finally laughed, I promise that I won't make you sad again in the future!"
Seeing that Piaoxue finally recovered from his grief, Zhang Xiaosheng finally let out a long breath in his heart, these days Zhang Xiaosheng is often frightened, for fear that the sister Piaoxue who loves to laugh and cares about people will leave from now on.
After comforting the snow for a while, Zhang Xiaosheng got up and went out, turning around, passing through the long dark and muddy alley, looking back from time to time as he walked, and after confirming that no one was following, he pressed the brim of his hat and ran into the street from a corner.
He wanted to buy something for Piaoxue to supplement her nutrition, Piaoxue didn't eat or drink for the past two days, and she obviously lost a lot of weight.
It's been three days since that unbearable night.
Zhang Xiaosheng, who was carrying the snow on his back that day and was in pain, was afraid that those thieves had not left. If someone finds out, the two have no power to fight back. After hesitating, he suddenly remembered a small courtyard that Young Master Lu had secretly bought for fun, except for the two of them, no third party knew about it, and it should be safe for the time being, so he came here.
The next day, after waking up, Piaoxue didn't eat, and he didn't talk to Zhang Xiaosheng, but he kept crying and crying.
After a great change, for a sixteen-year-old child who has never experienced the world and grew up under the protection of adults, no matter how sensible she usually behaves, how good she is at taking care of people, she is still fragile from the heart, and there is no radical behavior like this, it is already very good.
At this time, Piaoxue finally took off her strong appearance and showed the weak side that a girl of this age should have.
Zhang Xiaosheng looked at Sister Piaoxue like this, and his heart was like a knife. Although he is also sixteen years old, although the pain in his heart does not have to be weak at all, he must be strong, and he constantly admonishes himself in his heart:
"As a man, you must be stronger, otherwise why should you protect your beloved!"
In the past few days, Zhang Xiaosheng has continued to enlighten Sister Piaoxue, and told her jokes in different ways, and finally saw the effect this morning, Sister Piaoxue finally walked out of the haze of great changes and laughed for the first time.
Along the way, Zhang Xiaosheng thought chaotically in his heart, for fear that Sister Piaoxue would be in a hurry, and his feet couldn't help but speed up a little.
......
"Sister Piaoxue, come out quickly, I bought you your favorite Qingzhou snowflake cake" Zhang Xiaosheng, who had just stepped through the door, shouted excitedly.
"Thank you for your hard work, it's all me, you've been working so hard these days!" When Sister Piaoxue saw Zhang Xiaosheng coming back, she smiled knowingly, her eyes were full of pity.
"Sister, it's not hard at all, it's my honor to serve a beautiful woman!" Seeing that Sister Piaoxue was so energetic, Zhang Xiaosheng unconsciously regained his personality of playing treasure.
Watching Piaoxue eat gently one bite at a time, her movements were as elegant as ever, Zhang Xiaosheng's heart was very sweet.
"By the way, Sister Piaoxue, did your master give you something?"
"No, that's it, the master hurriedly stuffed it to me, and I don't know what it is. Speaking of the master, Piaoxue's expression darkened, and she took out a black token from her body without hesitation, without the slightest doubt that Zhang Xiaosheng would know about it, for her, Zhang Xiaosheng was her only relative, and she couldn't tolerate any doubts and speculations.
In the past few days, Zhang Xiaosheng has been thinking about Lao Wang's words before he died, most of them are vague, except for knowing that there seems to be something in the snow, he only heard a few words "grassland twin flowers" clearly.
The grassland twin flowers, Zhang Xiaosheng is very familiar with them, on the grassland where equestrianism is practiced. Every time he finished practicing equestrianism, Young Master Lu would take Zhang Xiaosheng to that place, looking at the twin flowers in a daze, he said that it would bloom in the future, and he would give it to his fiancée as a testimony of love.
"This matter should be known to me and Young Master Lu, how could Lao Wang know, and what happened to that token?"
Looking down at the token, there was no luster on the dark surface, and there were no other patterns on it except for a flowing Lu character.
"What exactly does it do, what must be the connection between the two, what is it?"
I thought about it for a long time and had no clue.
Seeing Zhang Xiaosheng's distressed expression, Piao Xue asked with concern: "Xiaosheng, what's wrong, tell my sister." ”
Zhang Xiaosheng then explained the matter of the token in detail, and the two discussed it again, but they still had no clue, and finally decided where to go to the grassland after dark, and maybe there would be something to discover.
......
Night falls.
"Xiaosheng, why are you dressed up like this?" Sister Piaoxue asked with some confusion as she looked at herself and Zhang Xiaosheng, who was dressed as a big man.
Before Zhang Xiaosheng could answer, Sister Piaoxue's eyes rolled, and then she was relieved: "Are you afraid that those people will find out?"
"Sister Piaoxue is smart. Zhang Xiaosheng slapped a sycophant at the right time.
With hard work, the two figures sneaked into the grassland by night.
"Haha, it's finally not enough, number one, number two!"
"Yes!" replied mechanically from the darkness.
"Keep up with the two, just follow quietly, remember to startle the snake, and if there is anything to do, you can communicate at any time!"
At this time, Zhang Xiaosheng and the two were galloping towards the grassland, not knowing that they had already leaked their whereabouts.
Just with the skills of the two of them refining the ninth layer of qi, they only added some fist and foot skills, and they did not leave the realm of mortals, and they did not cultivate aura, how could they detect it.
After a while, Zhang Xiaosheng and Piaoxue had already come to the edge of the grassland.
They did not rush into the grassland, but slowed down, crept down in the grass, and secretly observed.
The grassland under the moonlight at night was quiet without a sound, and there was no one around, Zhang Xiaosheng was still not at ease and looked around for a long time, and after confirming that it was safe, he took Piaoxue's hand and quickly ran towards the location of the twin flowers.
Everything seemed so smooth.
Finally saw the twin flowers, Zhang Xiaosheng breathed a sigh of relief, although there was no thrill along the way, Zhang Xiaosheng's heart kept hanging, up and down. After settling down, Zhang Xiaosheng took out the token from his arms.
The token does not reflect, and it still looks black.
"Isn't there a connection between the two?"
"Come, I'll try, I think since the master taught me, there should be a deep meaning. Sister Piaoxue said suddenly.
As soon as the token was handed to Sister Piaoxue, a sudden change occurred, and I saw a bright light suddenly projected from inside the token, shooting towards the twin flowers. Under the light of this light, the twin flowers suddenly danced, and a circle of light gradually emerged from the ground.
"No, this token is still recognized, I think I am such a handsome and dashing person actually didn't react, as soon as it came to the hands of the beauty, it immediately glowed, could it be that this token is male?"
Looking at Zhang Xiaosheng's appearance of a living treasure, Sister Piaoxue Shi Shiran chuckled.
"It's a teleportation array!" accompanied by the exclamation of drifting snow, his little hands covered his mouth, and his smile was mixed with surprise, which was extremely charming in the moonlight at night.
"The so-called beauty hides her smile and falls into the city, probably that's it!" Zhang Xiaosheng couldn't help but look stupid.
At this time, a discordant voice suddenly remembered.
"The game is over, the little couple is still in the mood to flirt when they are dying, go to hell and continue, hehe......" Seeing that the two still found the entrance, No. 1 and No. 2 no longer concealed and showed up.
"Who? Don't pretend to be a ghost. Zhang Xiaosheng was a little stunned, although he was a little surprised, but he was not panicked. The excessive calm along the way, Zhang Xiaosheng had already doubts in his heart.
"Number two, a quick fix. The voice of the man in black on the left sounded, hoarse and harsh, like the friction of two pieces of metal.
"Hehe, in that case, let's die. The man, known as Two, moved his right hand slightly, and a black ball of light emerged from his palm.
"Wait, who are you, why did you destroy the Lu family?" As he spoke, Zhang Xiaosheng quietly took Piaoxueshi's hand and stepped back slightly.
"Boy, don't try to stall. The shrill voice came again, and he didn't talk nonsense, and raised his hand and a black light flew towards Zhang Xiaosheng.
"Damn!" Seeing through the idea, Zhang Xiaosheng burst into a foul mouth, looking at the flying black light, Zhang Xiaosheng quickly weighed the next move in his mind.
"This is an attack formed by the aura, the aura condenses, and the attack is released, at least it is also the cultivation of the foundation building period, and it is the result of being bombed into slag in minutes. ”
Looking at the black light, Zhang Xiaosheng made a judgment in an instant.
"Dead horses should be live horse doctors, I hope God willing, there are no traps!" glanced back at the teleportation array, and before he had time to think about it, Zhang Xiaosheng pulled the drifting snow and turned around and pounced in the teleportation array.
With a bang, a cloud of dirt was turned up. After all, the black light took a step slower and struck a void.
"Idiot!"
A dark shadow suddenly appeared, raised his hand and struck the number one out.
"Destroy the teleportation array, just wait for the sky lantern to be lit!"
