024 Wandering
King Jin originally wanted to take advantage of this assassin to bring down Liu Jin, but he was unexpectedly killed by the unwitting Xiong Shou, and King Jin's original plan was disrupted by Xiong Shou and was annoyed. But those who don't know are not guilty, and the king of Jin is already kind-hearted and doesn't want to punish Xiong Yu. Moreover, Xiong Xuan disappeared for a few years and reappeared in the rivers and lakes, and King Jin was excited.
King Jin looked at Xiong Yu and kept saying, "I haven't seen you for a few years, but you have become a lot stronger on the eighth, and your martial arts have also improved a lot. This king really thought that you were killed by Xiaoyaozi, but unexpectedly escaped death. What a blessing for the king!" Walked to Xiong Yu's side and pulled Xiong Yu, and continued, "You stay, and join forces with your brother and brother to help me eradicate the eunuchs, this king needs you!"
Xiong said worriedly: "Lord Wang, there is still something to do on the eighth, I'm sorry!"
As soon as Xiong Xuan's words came out, No. 3 was anxious, and immediately persuaded: "Eighth brother, why do you refuse the invitation of the prince?
No. 5 and No. 6 also persuaded Xiong Xuan, but Xiong Xuan was not moved. Xiong Yu understood that although he had not been in the palace for a long time, he was also favored by the king of Jin. However, since he stepped into the rivers and lakes, he can no longer be the same as before. He has a lot to do! And it is enough for King Jin to have twelve other brothers by his side.
Xiong said melancholy: "I'm not refusing the prince's hospitality, and I don't dare." It's just that I really have something to do right now. While speaking, his eyes drifted to Xiao Lan, Xiong snorted coldly, and continued, "I don't want to go back to the palace until something is understood." With that, he broke free from King Jin's hand and prepared to leave.
Number Three shouted, "Eighth brother!"
Xiong said worriedly: "The third brother doesn't have to stay, I have made up my mind, I'm sorry!" With that, keep going.
No. 3 said hurriedly: "If you go again, don't blame us for being polite." With that, No. 3 showed his dagger for the first time, and No. 5, No. 6, and No. 9 also showed their blades one after another.
Xiong Yu stopped, did not look back, and said coldly: "None of you are my opponents now. ”
"You!" No. 3 was about to give orders, when King Jin spoke: "That's it, that's it." Since the eighth has something to do, this king will not force him to stay. Three, five, six, nine. Quickly stand down and let Eight go. ”
Although there were many reluctances on the third, fifth, sixth, and ninth numbers, they did not dare to disobey under the will of the King of Jin. He had to withdraw his sword and say no more.
Xiong Xuan walked to Xia Yun's side, and as he walked, he heard King Jin say: "No. 8! The gate of King Jin's Mansion will always be open for you-"
King Jin didn't force Xiong Yu to stay, he watched Xiong Yu and Xia Yun disappear in front of him, and the King of Jin let out a long sigh, and said to No. 3, No. 5, No. 6, and No. 9: "No. 8's martial arts are now unfathomable, do you still remember what this king once said?"
"This" No. 3, No. 5, No. 6, No. 9 hesitated.
"Huh?!" King Jin stared fiercely at No. 3, No. 5, No. 6, and No. 9.
"Follow the teachings of the prince!" King Jin also threatened, and No. 3, No. 5, No. 6, and No. 9 did not dare to disobey, and immediately replied in unison.
After hearing this, King Jin smiled slightly, turned around and saw that Xiao Lan's face was full of gloom, the conversation between Xiong Xuan and Xiao Lan, although King Jin did not hear it clearly, but the relationship between Xiao Lan and Xiong Xuan was not simple, and King Jin had already guessed it. King Jin had a plan, walked to Xiao Lan's side, invited Xiao Lan's little waist and said, "Lan'er, this king needs you to do something for this king, I don't know if you can do it?"
Xiao Lan didn't dare to say no, and immediately said: "Xiao Lan only obeys the order of the prince." ”
After hearing this, King Jin whispered in Xiao Lan's ear, although Xiao Lan was reluctant, he couldn't refuse. After the king of Jin finished speaking, the king of Jin said: "After it is done, this king will accept you as a concubine, and endless glory and wealth are waiting for you." ”
King Jin said that, he laughed out loud, making people feel foggy. No. 3, No. 5, No. 6, and No. 9 couldn't understand King Jin's thoughts, but they didn't dare to ask questions, so they had to stand honestly and didn't dare to speak.
Outside Yueyang Tower, it is a peaceful and prosperous place, and the official road is a place where business travel is intensive. There are also many villages on both sides of the official road.
After Xiong Yu hurriedly left King Jin, he didn't say a word. Xia Yun guessed half of the meaning, and when she walked to a secluded place, she asked, "No. 8, are you the killer codenamed No. 8 next to King Jin?"
Xiong shook his head.
"Thugs?"
Xiong shook his head again.
"Bodyguards?"
Xiong still shook his head.
"Could it be that you are the eighth illegitimate son of King Jin?" Xia Yun guessed and guessed but didn't guess correctly, and said in a hurry.
Xiong Xuan stopped, stared at Xia Yun's eyes, and said, "No, I don't allow you to insult King Jin!" With that, he turned around and left.
"Then your code name is No. 8, who are you next to King Jin?"
"Slaves. Xiong Xuan coldly spit out two words, making Xia Yun stand dumbfounded, Xia Yun couldn't imagine that Xiong Xuan was actually a slave by King Jin's side, but King Jin regarded Xiong Xuan as kind as a son.
Slave, a word that Xia Yun has rarely heard of, still exists in today's society. You must know that Xia Yun has never seen a slave at all, nor has she ever seen anyone willing to be a slave. And Xiong Yu was once a willing slave, and he was even grateful to his master.
Xia Yun didn't understand how Xiong Yu became a slave, if it weren't for the last time in Baihualou where he learned that Xiong Hao might be the descendant of the Jiuli clan, knowing that miserable experience, Xia Yun would never have imagined that Xiong Hao would be a slave of King Jin.
Because the imperial court was ruled by eunuchs, and the harvest of the common people was also getting worse and worse, and many villages did not see a single figure at all. The successive villages that Xiong Yu and Xia Yun experienced were all deserted, exuding an eerie and terrifying cold chill. This made Xia Yun feel scared.
Xia Yun has been owing Xiong Yun's hand all the way, Xiong Yu didn't want Xia Yun to be so close, but when he saw Xia Yun's scared expression, he felt pity and didn't refuse. However, he went further and further, and there were fewer and fewer figures, and Xiong Yu's heart was also vigilant.
It's not like this that Xiong Yu hasn't experienced it.
Xiong Yu remembered that when he was a slave, he went to Yongji City, Shanxi Province with No. 9 to do something for the King of Jin. At the beginning, when passing by the stork tower, Xiong Yu suddenly found that the stork tower, which was usually crowded with people, was suddenly deserted and deserted, and there was no one at all.
The Stork Tower, the Yellow Crane Tower, the Yueyang Tower, and the Tengwang Pavilion are the four famous buildings in China, and they have always been the places where literati gather to chant poems.
The stork tower has the eternal swan song of "wanting to be poor for a thousand miles, and going to the next level".
Xiong Yu once listened to the son of the palace recite Wang Zhilian's "Climbing the Stork's Tower":
At the end of the day, the Yellow River flows into the sea.
If you want to be poor, go to the next level.
Now, this noisy stork tower is surprisingly quiet, which makes Xiong Yu and Nine feel very strange.
No. 9 said in a wrestling manner: "Brother Starling, this stork tower is quite scary, why don't we go back now?" The courage of the ninth is the youngest of the thirteen slaves in the palace. Xiong Yu is the most courageous one.
King Jin deliberately arranged for Xiong Xuan and No. 9 to come to Yongji City, Shanxi, because he took a fancy to Xiong Shou's boldness and No. 9's timidity.
It must be very interesting for a very bold person and a very timid person to go on a mission.
"The prince said that you must bring things back. If we don't bring things back, we won't be able to recover. Xiong said coldly. Xiong Yu has always been very cold, whether he is a slave or a killer, Xiong Yu's coldness is enough to make those who approach him feel swishing cold.
"However, the stork tower is very lively, why is it so deserted? There must be ghosts! There must be ghosts!" Nine said coldly.
Xiong said melancholy: "As long as we can complete the task, we will also have to break through." With that, he took the lead in entering the Stork Tower.
According to the orders of the King of Jin, Xiong Yu and No. 9 were tasked with receiving something very important brought by a swordsman named Li Xiaoyao in the Stork Tower. Xiong Yu has great respect for King Jin, and Xiong Yu dare not forget King Jin's orders.
After Xiong Xuan entered the Stork Tower, there was no one in the Stork Tower, but when he reached the third floor, he saw a swordsman wearing a hat sitting on a stool, squinting at Xiong Xuan. When Xiong and Nine approached, the swordsman suddenly stood up and stared at Xiong without moving.
Xiong Yu knew that this swordsman was Li Xiaoyao in the mouth of King Jin. So he said: "King Jin said, just give me the things." ”
Li Xiaoyao suddenly grabbed Xiong Yu's hand tightly and asked, "You, what's your name?" Li Xiaoyao's words were very excited, and he couldn't speak clearly. Fortunately, Xiong Yu was close to him and could clearly distinguish the treatment.
"Number eight. Xiong said coldly.
"Eight?" Li Xiaoyao asked in surprise, he had never heard of such a strange name.
"Yes. Xiong replied.
"What's your last name?" Li Xiaoyao asked.
Xiong didn't answer, and spread his hands out. It's not that Xiong Yi is unwilling to answer Li Xiaoyao's words, it's because Xiong Yu doesn't know what his surname is. He has only one code name, and only one name, which is - Eight.
Woohoo -
Suddenly, outside the Stork Tower, several sharp bows and arrows flew in, heading straight for Xiong Xuan, Nine, and Li Xiaoyao.
Since Li Xiaoyao's gaze was towards the window, he was the first to notice that something was wrong. Immediately pressed Xiong Xuan to the ground, and then, the sword in his hand was drawn out somehow, and it was compared in the rain of arrows. With a few swishes, the sword that flew in from outside had been blocked by Li Xiaoyao. I saw Li Xiaoyao draw a circle with the sword in his hand, and flew towards the outside of the stork tower, fighting with the archers outside.
When Xiong Yu and No. 9 wanted to go to the window to take a look, they found that Li Xiaoyao had already packed his sword and walked to the second floor. And all the archers who had just shot arrows were killed by Li Xiaoyao. Not a single live mouth.
This is the first time Xiong Yu has encountered this situation, and it is also the first time he has experienced life and death. Later, he also knew that this was the first time he had seen Xiaoyaozi. Because, Li Xiaoyao is a code name often used by Xiaoyaozi!
