Chapter 8: The Mysterious Mr. Du
A piece of rhododendrons under the hillside has bloomed, the green hills in the distance have been washed green by the spring rain, a pair of butterflies fly into the flowers, and fly out again, the courtyard is lonely, as if it is outside the red dust.
Chu Liuxiang crossed one leg and sat on the stone steps outside the corridor, almost unable to believe that he had really arrived at the Jade Sword Villa.
No one can come here easily, even those masters who regard themselves as extremely high with unique skills, no one dares to take a step beyond Lei Chi, in recent years, the prestige of Jade Sword Villa has almost surpassed the three major schools and four major families of Jiangnan martial arts.
But now that he was sitting here, all he saw was a bright and elegant spring light, without a bit of sabre-rattling and murderous aura, and there was no appearance of strict guards.
Chu Liuxiang touched his nose with a finger, and he couldn't help but admit in his heart that the owner of Jade Sword Villa did have something great about him.
Mr. Du is indeed like this.
He is a very mysterious person, like a miracle suddenly rose to the rivers and lakes, no one has ever known his past and origin, except for his cronies, no one can see him.
But everyone knows that he is secretly commanding the most terrifying forces, and many of his subordinates are the top masters who have not appeared in the rivers and lakes for a long time, and they follow him like an infatuated girl following her infatuated lover, who can do anything for him at any time, and can die for him at any time. What kind of person is this mysterious Mr. Du, and what kind of mysterious magic is there?
Chu Liuxiang has been waiting here for a long time, only him, no Hu Tiehua.
Because Mr. Du only promised to see him - a person.
At the end of the corridor, there was finally a soft sound of footsteps, and a woman in a floor-length skirt walked over with an extraordinary grace.
Although her years have passed, she is not willing to hide the wrinkles at the corners of her eyes with fat powder.
Her beauty and elegance are like a long white cloud outside the distant mountains, but there is a sunny confidence in her eyes.
Chu Liuxiang seemed to have suddenly become crazy.
He had never seen such a woman, nor had he ever imagined that a woman would be able to maintain such extraordinary beauty after her youth had faded.
"Chu Xiangshuai. ”
She looked at him with a smile and her voice was just as elegant.
"The rain just stopped on the eve, and Xiangshuai came today, just in time for the flowers to bloom. ”
It's a pity that Chu Liuxiang didn't come to enjoy the flowers.
"I know that Mr. Du has rarely seen people, but he has promised to see me. Chu Liuxiang would never let herself look into her eyes, "I believe that Mr. Du will never be a person who does not believe in his words." ”
"I also believe he won't. She smiled, "Because now you've seen him." ”
Chu Liuxiang raised her head and looked at her in surprise.
"You're Mr. Du?"
"I am. She smiled, "Now you should always believe that I am at least a man of my word." ”
On the smooth cypress floor, there is an antique low table, and in the bottle are three or five white camellias, which have already bloomed with eight petals. Chu Liuxiang didn't look at the flowers.
He was looking at the magical, elegant, and beautiful woman sitting on the brocade pier across from him.
Now he couldn't use all his strength to keep himself from looking, and even if he got his eyes off her, it would be very difficult for him to take his eyes off her.
"I know you must find it strange that it is not strange for a woman to be called a gentleman, and a man is sometimes called a lady. Mr. Du said: "During the Warring States period, there was a master of sword casting named Mrs. Xu. Chu Liuxiang stared at her for a long time, and suddenly asked, "You never want to see people, is it because you don't want people to know that you are a woman?"
"Maybe yes. Mr. Du smiled faintly, "Maybe it's just because I don't want others to look at me like you." Chu Liuxiang didn't smile or touch his nose, but his face turned red.
If Hu Tiehua saw his current appearance, he would definitely be surprised.
It was by no means easy to make Chu Liuxiang blush, it was as if it was not easy to pull a camel through the eye of a needle.
Fortunately, Mr. Du did not continue to discuss this issue, she only asked Chu Liuxiang: "I also know that you have been very busy, why do you have to come to see me this time? Is it for the marriage of King Shi Tianwang and Princess Jade Sword?"
"It's not. ”
Chu Liuxiang was determined to show his masculinity, so he immediately said loudly: "You just want to marry eighty princesses to Shi Tianwang, and it has nothing to do with me at all. ”
"What does it matter to you?"
"I just wanted to help a friend of mine find his daughter, a girl who had been stolen in a box. Chu Liuxiang said, "I believe she must be here." ”
The spring breeze outside the corridor is as gentle as water, and the gentle twilight like spring water has gradually fallen.
Mr. Du quietly looked at the white camellia in the bottle, and her face looked like the eight-petaled camellia, pure, beautiful, and pale, one by one, petals, and overlapping together.
The petals suddenly spread out.
With a flick of her fingers suddenly, the petals spread out, and the flowers rained colorfully, scattering in front of Chu Liuxiang's eyes, scattering Chu Liuxiang's eyes.
Between her two fingers, a flower skill had been picked up, and the flower branch shook and stabbed Chu Liuxiang's eyes.
No one can describe the tactics she used in this moment.
Indescribable lightness, indescribable elegance, indescribable viciousness!
A poisonous spicy that is almost perfect.
In the heavens on earth, perhaps only such a woman can make this kind of technique.
If Chu Liuxiang's eyes were blinded, he should have no complaints.
Because he had seen such a woman, he had seen enough in his life.
The white porcelain jar is painted with 20 peonies.
This is a real flower carving, the top flower carving of 20 years old, Hu Tiehua has exhausted an altar.
One altar is finished, and another altar remains.
"Why don't you drink it anymore?" Aunt Hua said, "You should also know that it is rare to be able to drink this kind of wine." ”
"Good wine is rare, and friends are even more rare. ”
Hu Tiehua opened her dress and sat on a stone bench in front of a stone table under a flower shed.
"If the old bug knew that I had drunk all the two jars of good wine, it would be strange if he didn't get angry, and it wouldn't be fun for the old bug to become a dead bug. ”
"You're going to keep a jar for him to drink?"
"It's not for him to drink, it's to accompany him, although he drinks faster than pouring wine, I don't make a bun, he drinks half a jar, and I drink a little more. Hu Tiehua laughed heartily, "So when he drank half of the jar, I had already drunk one and a half jars." ”
Aunt Hua looked at him with a very strange look, and asked in a very special voice, "But how do you know that he will come?"
"Why won't he come?"
Hu Tiehua, who was already a little drunk, suddenly sobered up again, and her eyes suddenly widened bigger than a cowbell.
"I'm willing to do this for you, because I know it's not a bad thing, if I can't send the princess to Shi Tianwang before the fifth day of the fifth month, that Shi Tianwang will definitely kill him, and even if you can repel him, the blood of the common people along the way will be like a river. ”
Hu Tiehua said sharply: "But as long as you dare to touch Chu Liuxiang, I will first turn your place into a river, a river of blood......
Aunt Hua didn't speak.
She rarely spoke, but now she did not speak, for suddenly there was an ethereal, faint and soft sound of the piano in the distance, a sound that would become temporarily speechless to anyone who heard it.
This kind of sound is not too clear, just like the sound of a flower in bloom.
──Is there a sound when a flower opens? Can anyone hear what it is?
──Is there a sound when the flowers fall?
The flowers fall silently, and the intestines break silently.
There is sound but there is no sound, and no sound is not sound, but usually no one can hear it clearly.
Isn't the sound of a falling flower sometimes like when the intestines are broken?
The sound of the piano breaks the bowels.
Eight-petaled white camellia flowers fall one by one on the mirror-like cypress floor. Falling on Chu Liuxiang's knees.
The sword-like branch had been pierced between his eyebrows, and this thorn was already the essence of swordsmanship.
The essence of all the swordsmanship that cannot be phaseless, ruthless, righteous and lifeless.
This sword is already a salute.
Zen is ruthless, Zen is unreasonable, and Zen is not Zen. Zen ritual is also Zen, and non-sword is also sword.
When reaching a certain state, non-Zen Zen can make people enlightened, and non-sword swords can also assassinate people in an instant.
Chu Liuxiang didn't seem to understand at all.
He didn't even move, he didn't even blink his eyes, as if he didn't know that this branch could assassinate him in an instant.
In the flick of a finger, it was already sixty moments.
If this flower technique is pierced, then Chu Liuxiang will already be dead sixty times in a flick of his fingers.
The sound of the piano broke the bowels, and the sky was getting dark.
Aunt Hua looked at Hu Tiehua, and her expression suddenly became extremely gentle, really gentle, never so gentle that no one had ever seen.
"You're drunk, you're drunk, you're drunk, you should have known you'd be drunk. ”
A gust of wind blows, and a petal of flowers falls.
"Flowers will bloom and fall, and when there are flowers, you should know that there are flowers when they fall, because flowers are flowers, and since they can't not bloom, they can't not fall. ”
Aunt Hua said faintly, "It's just like us. Those who should be drunk must be drunk, and those who should die must die. ”
Hu Tiehua suddenly felt as if she was really drunk.
I don't know if it's because of the sound of the piano or Aunt Hua's voice, or because of the wine or some intoxicating secret in the wine, which made him drunk at a time when he could neither get drunk nor drunk.
But he could still hear what Aunt Hua said.
"Flowers bloom and fall, people gather and disperse, it is a helpless thing. ”
There is indeed a kind of helpless sadness in her voice: "People in the rivers and lakes are like flowers on branches, they want to bloom and fall, gather and disperse, and they are often involuntarily." ”
Although the time of a moment is short, but in a certain wonderful moment, a person will suddenly turn into ashes that will never recover, and the falling flowers will also turn into fragrant mud.
Now that the sky is getting dark, the falling flowers have gone, and thousands of moments have passed, but the sword-like flower skills are still stuck between Chu Liuxiang's eyebrows, and they haven't stabbed down yet.
Suddenly, another gust of wind blew, and the fallen flowers suddenly turned into flying ashes, and flew into the darkening and darkening twilight, and the flower branch that could assassinate him in the flying ashes at any time also fell inch by inch in front of his eyes.
It's not a miracle.
This is the crystallization of the wisdom and power that a person has gained after countless crises.
When the eight-petaled camellia flutters up, its branches and petals have been turned into tangible and intangible "phases" by Chu Liuxiang's internal force. Although there is still a phase, it is powerless.
Mr. Du's expression did not change. There was not a trace of panic, nor a trace of fear.
Because she knew that the sword had two edges, whenever she thought she could scatter the other person's mind and eyes, her own mind and eyes could also be scattered by the other party.
The difference between them is often only a millimeter, if she is right, she wins, if she loses, she is willing.
"I'm defeated!" Mr. Du said to Chu Liuxiang, "This is the first time I've lost to a man." ”
No matter whether she wins or loses, her demeanor will not change.
"Since I've been defeated at your hands, it doesn't matter to me what you want. ”
Chu Liuxiang looked at her quietly, looked at her quietly for a long time, and suddenly stood up and strode out.
The garden is lonely, and the night is as cool as water.
I don't know when the night has covered the land, but a crescent moon like a golden hook has risen in the sky.
By the time Chu Liuxiang looked back at her, she was gone.
But the sound of the piano is still there.
The soft and gut-breaking sound of the piano seemed to suddenly turn into a fishing hook like a crescent moon.
Chu Liuxiang seemed to have suddenly turned into a fish.
Why did Mr. Du kill him? Why didn't he let him meet Jiao Lin's daughter? What secrets are hidden in this?
He could see that Mr. Du had no ill will towards him, but at that moment, he was determined to put him to death.
When she found out that she had failed miserably, she even did not hesitate to use her body to stop Chu Liuxiang: "It doesn't matter what you want to do to me." ”
When she said this, she was ready to take it all in. Her eyes had already told Chu Liuxiang very clearly.
A middle-aged woman's long-restrained lust has been unreservedly revealed at that moment, and the stimulation of the fiasco is like a quick knife, which has cut through the hard shell of her appearance.
At that moment, Chu Liuxiang didn't know how many times she wanted to reach out and untie her clothes.
The body under the placket has not been touched by a man for an unknown amount of time.
The pale carcass is pale and soft and sweet like a virgin, but it is full of the passion of a middle-aged woman.
Chu Liuxiang confessed to himself, when he saw her for the first time, he already had this secret fantasy and desire in his heart.
But whenever he stretched out his hand, a sign of sin and wickedness rose in his heart, as if to tell him that if he did so, he would regret it for the rest of his life.
What is this for? Is it because of the sound of the piano that has always haunted his ears?
Only now can Chu Liuxiang tell himself with certainty, "Yes, it's because of the sound of the piano."
The soft sound of the piano keeps playing the same tune repeatedly.
In the Goolan Courtyard in Yangzhou, on the bank of the Qinhuai River, Chu Liuxiang once heard of this kind of withering.
Its music card is called "Crescent Moon".
The soft crescent moon tune, like countless soft threads, has unconsciously tied Chu Liuxiang.
Does the person who plays the piano also have a crescent moon on him?
The sound of the piano came from a small building, and the lights and shadows in the screen window of the small building were hazy, and the figures were also dim.
The downstairs door was hidden, as if it was waiting for someone to push the door and go upstairs.
Chu Liuxiang pushed the door and went upstairs.
The spring breeze blew in through the screen window, the small building was full of the fragrance of flowers and the fragrance of leaves from the distant mountains, combing the high bun of the palace costume, wearing a brocade dress, sitting under the lamp and playing the piano, it was the "crescent moon" that had been put in a box.
"You did. ”
The sound of the piano was broken, and she looked at Chu Liuxiang coldly, as cold as a crescent moon in the sky.
"Do you know I'm coming?" Chu Liuxiang asked her.
"Of course I do. She said, "As long as you are alive, you will come." ”
The strings played again: "Of course, the pretentious Chu Xiangshuai should be able to hear what tune I played." "I just didn't think you could live so long." ”
Chu Liuxiang smiled bitterly, "I can't even think of this, in order not to let me see you, everyone seems to do everything possible to get my life, and you yourself seem to have been avoiding me." He asked her, "But why are you bringing me here now?"
The crescent moon in the sky is silent, and the crescent moon under the lamp is silent.
Although the light was as faint as the moon, Chu Liuxiang could still see her, and she could see it clearly.
It wasn't the first time he had seen her, but in the room of that inn, in that mysterious box, in that hurried situation, all Chu Liuxiang noticed was the crescent moon on her chest.
Now he noticed her face, which was also pale, with an indescribable grace and nobility, but her eyes were as bright as the sun, full of determination and confidence.
She really looks like a person.
"I see. ”
Chu Liuxiang's voice suddenly became hoarse, "You asked me to come, just because you didn't want me to be with Mr. Du anymore, because you had already thought of what she might do, and this time she didn't stop me from coming to see you, also because she already understood what you meant." ”
It's usually quite painful to come out so directly with something like that.
She continued to speak for Chu Liuxiang, and said more directly, "Yes, I understand what Mr. Du means, and she also understands what I mean, because she is my mother, and I am the Jade Sword Princess she wants to send to King Shi Tian." ”
Chu Liuxiang suddenly felt very cold and wanted to drink. No alcohol.
In the distance, there was a faint spring thunder, and the silver hook-like crescent moon was hidden by the dark clouds at some point.
Her voice also seemed to be far away in the dark clouds: "What Shi Tianwang wants is a princess, not the daughter of a Luotuo assassin." She said: "Everyone knows that I am a princess, and I have no connection with those wanderers who have fallen into the rivers and lakes, and I want to marry Shi Tianwang, not only my mother's will, but also my own willingness, no matter who wants to destroy this matter, someone will always ask for his life." ”
She asked Chu Liuxiang coldly, "I want you to come just to tell you this, have you understood now?"
"Yes. ”
"Then you go quickly, and never come to see me again, and I will never see you again. ”
Hu Tiehua dreamed that she was flying.
What a wonderful thing it is to be able to fly, flying around freely like a bird, flying over a heavy mountain, flying over a heavy roof, flying over the house of Mr. Private School who always holds a ruler in his hand, flying over the river that I can't swim over, and waking up softly lying on the bed, the feeling of being able to fly is still as sweet as just eating sugar.
Many people have had this kind of dream when they were children, and Hu Tiehua is the same.
Only this time when he woke up from a dream, he suddenly realized that he was really flying.
It's not that he's flying, it's a person who is flying with one arm on his side, and the cold wind is blowing in his face, and his head still hurts terribly, and it's dark all around, and he can't see anything, except for one person who says, "Thank God you're finally awake." It's not easy to wake you up. ”
Of course, this person is Chu Liuxiang.
When Hu Tiehua was drunk, who else could think of any way to wake him up except Chu Liuxiang, and it might be easier to resurrect a dead man.
"What do you mean by that?" Hu Tiehua's anger grew, "I obviously slept in bed well, what did you get me up for, are you a turtle or a king?"
If a person can sleep comfortably until the next afternoon after getting drunk, this kind of person is a blessed person, and if he is woken up in the middle of the night, it is no wonder that he will be angry.
Chu Liuxiang was also drunk, and of course he understood this mood, so he let him scold silently and let him scold happily.
Being able to scold Chu Liuxiang like this is really enjoyable and very fun.
What's not funny is that the old tortoise is faster after scolding, not only faster than the tortoise, but also faster than the rabbit, and even faster than ten rabbits running under the fox chase combined.
There is probably no second person in this world who is so fast.
Hu Tiehua couldn't bear it anymore, his tone softened, and all the cursed words flew from the head that was about to crack in pain to the outside of Jiuxiao Cloud, and he could only groan and ask, "What do you want to do?"
"I don't want to do anything. Chu Liuxiang said: "I just want to find someone to take a walk with me." ”
"Take a walk?" Hu Tiehua shouted, "Are we taking a walk now?"
His voice was like that of a dying man's screams: "My mother, my God, take a walk like you, my old life must be scattered by you." He asked Chu Liuxiang, "Can we stop taking a walk?" Can we sit down and talk, chat?"
"Yes. ”
Although Chu Liuxiang rushed forward as if it was an arrow off the string, he stopped when he said to stop.
There happened to be a tree where he stopped, and although there was no yellow warbler on the branch who was crying and dreaming of being beaten, there happened to be a patch of spring grass under the tree.
Hu Tiehua was lying on the grass all of a sudden, and he would never get up unless he was hit with a big stick. "Do you want to chat, or do you want to sleep?" Chu Liuxiang said, "Otherwise, let's go for a walk again." ”
“谁要睡觉？王八蛋才要睡觉。 ”
Hu Tiehua seemed to have really been hit with a stick, and sat up from the ground: "What are you talking about? Is it okay to talk about Mr. Du? Have you seen him? Have you seen Jiao Lin's daughter?"
"I've seen them all. ”
"How is that Jiao girl, is she beautiful?"
"Not only beautiful, but also smart. Chu Liuxiang stared at the dark firmament in the distance, "Jiao Lin must not have imagined that he had such a good daughter. "And then?" and I left. ”
Hu Tiehua sighed, "Why don't you talk to her more? Why are you in a hurry to leave?" "It's not that I'm leaving, it's she who wants me to go." ”
"If she wants you to leave, you will leave?" Hu Milling Hua sighed deliberately: "When did you become so obedient." ”
"Just when I was starting to understand. ”
"Got what?" "I probably understand everything that should be understood." Chu Liuxiang said: "I understand even the things that shouldn't be understood." ”
In recent years, there have often been pirates in the southeast coastal area to plunder and harass, and after they succeeded, they immediately roared away, and they did not know their whereabouts, and they did not know when the next time they would be, if they waited for the army to suppress them, the military salaries, grain and grass were all problems, and it was inevitable to disturb the people, not to mention those thieves who were wandering, and they might not be able to deal with the Wang Tong army.
Therefore, the imperial court sent an envoy to contact the heroes of the Quartet as a Jianghu person to deal with these rogues.
This person's power is very great, his responsibilities are also extremely heavy, and his identity must be kept secret, but for the convenience of the palace, he can't help but let people know that he is a noble person.
In this case, the court had only one reason to give him a kind of grace and make his daughter a princess, although it was a nominal princess, but it was enough to make people look at them differently.
Hearing this, Hu Tiehua couldn't help but ask, "You already know that this person is Mr. Du?"
"Yes, I already know. Chu Liuxiang asked rhetorically: "But do you know who this Mr. Du is?"
"Who is he?"
"Mr. Du is Jiao Lin's former wife, and Princess Jade Sword is Jiao Lin's daughter. ”
Hu Tiehua's hand had already touched his nose.
Chu Liuxiang continued: "She is really a very amazing woman, although I don't understand how she could have dealings with the Ouchi royal family after leaving Jiao Lin, but it is by no means without reason that the imperial court can reuse her.
At this time, a man who was far more talented than the "Purple Whale Gang" in the southeast sea suddenly appeared, so these small streams that could no longer survive independently had to take refuge under his banner. Chu Liuxiang sighed, "The sword has a double edge, everything has its advantages and disadvantages, although Mr. Du has cleared the nomads on the shore, but it has caused Shi Tianwang's hegemony on the sea." ”
Now his strength is gradually beyond Mr. Du's ability to deal with, in order to appease him, Mr. Du can only promise him to take his daughter Princess Yujian as a condition for a truce, which is of course a temporary expedient measure. ”
I understand that. Hu Tiehua was also sighing, "That's why I'm willing to do this." ”
But some people don't understand that not only those enthusiastic heroes will come forward, but Shi Tianwang's subordinates will also come to stop them. ”
"Why?"
"Because they have long wanted to kill and go ashore to make a big profit, if Shi Tianwang wants the Jade Sword Princess, what chance do they have?" Chu Liuxiang continued, "The Oriental pirates have long wanted to let Shi Tianwang and Mr. Du fight, and when both sides are defeated, they can reap the benefits, and of course they will not let this family business succeed." ”
"You already know that the Oriental girl is the one they sent?" asked Hu Tiehua.
"I didn't fully understand the point, but now I've figured it out. ”
Chu Liuxiang smiled bitterly: "Mr. Du wants to put me to death, just because he is afraid that I will reveal the secret of Princess Jade Sword's life and destroy this marriage, Princess Jade Sword will not hesitate to sacrifice herself in order to take care of the overall situation, since I have already understood these things, what else can I say?"
"So if she wants you to go, you just have to go. ”
"Yes. Chu Liuxiang said lightly: "She wants me to go, I only have to go, she doesn't want me to go, I will go." ”
"Is it because you don't want to care about it anymore?
Chu Liuxiang smiled faintly: "What do you want me to do?" Do you want me to marry Shi Tianwang instead of her?"
Hu Tiehua glared at him and shook her head and sighed: "You are really getting more and more uninteresting, you were not like this before, no matter what difficulties you encounter, you will not back down, no matter how terrible the opponent is, you will fight." He sneered, "I didn't think you would have turned into a shrunken turtle now." ”
Chu Liuxiang was not angry at all: "Fortunately, you haven't changed yet, and you will definitely do what you promised others." ”
"Of course I'll do it. Hu Tiehua said loudly, "You don't need to care about me, if you want to go, just leave quickly." ”
"Before leaving, can we have another drink?" Chu Liuxiang said as if he was a little desolate, "I happen to know that there are several jars of good wine around here." ”
I have already drunk a lot of wine, and one person has a jar, sitting on the roof of a tall building, and drinking it with his mouth to the jar. Usually after drinking, Hu Tiehua talks more than anyone else, but today he only drinks and doesn't speak. He didn't seem to be too lazy to talk to people like Chu Liuxiang.
Chu Liuxiang showed a very pleasant appearance, and said much more than when he cared.
Hu Tiehua listened to it for a long time with a straight face, and then asked with a straight face: "Have you finished talking?"
"Not yet. ”
"What else do you want to say?"
Chu Liuxiang raised his neck and poured a few large sips of liquor into it, and suddenly said in a very strange voice: "I still want to tell you something, something that no one else understands, and I have never told you about it." ”
Everyone knows that we are good friends, and they all think that I am very good to you, and if you have a problem, I will always solve it for you, even yourself. Chu Liuxiang smiled, "Only I understand in my heart that this is not the case." ”
He took a few more sips from the jar, and drank faster than usual.
"Actually, you treat me much better than I do to you, you are making me everywhere, you have good wine, good luck and good women, you will never fight with me, we went to do a vigorous thing together, it is always me who becomes famous and shows your face, in fact, you are also the same as me. Chu Liuxiang said, "It's just that after you are done with your life, you will slip away, sneak to a tavern that no one knows about, find a random woman, and force yourself to admit that you love her to death." ”
Hu Tiehua also began to drink heavily, drinking desperately.
"You do this, just because I am Chu Liuxiang, how can Hu Tiehua compare to Chu Liuxiang? Of course, Chu Liuxiang should be allowed to come out of the limelight. ”
He glared at Hu Tiehua with a pair of eyes that seemed brighter than usual after drinking: "But now I want to tell you, you are wrong, very wrong." Chu Liuxiang's voice also changed, "Now I must let you know that Hu Tiehua is by no means inferior to Chu Liuxiang, without Chu Liuxiang, Hu Tiehua's problems can be solved, and he can live the same, and he will live much better than before." ”
His eyes widened: "If you don't understand this, you're not human, you're a pig, a dead pig." ”
The jar is empty.
Hu Tiehua stood up suddenly, threw the wine jar far away, glared at Chu Liuxiang and scolded, "Fart, what you say is all fart, it stinks a hundred times more than the fart of a wild dog." ”
Although he scolded fiercely, there seemed to be tears in his eyes: "Now I also want to tell you, if you think I don't understand what you mean by these farts, you are also wrong. ”
"You understand what I mean?" Chu Liuxiang sneered: "You understand a ghost. ”
"I don't understand, who understands?" Hu Tiehua said, "You deliberately pretend to be indifferent, but you want to hide it from me and go to Shi Tianwang alone to fight hard." ”
He clenched his fists and held back tears: "Do you admit it?" If you don't admit it, I will punch you to death......
Chu Liuxiang also jumped up, threw out the wine jar vigorously, clenched his fists, and glared at him: "Even if I want to go, it has nothing to do with you, I'll do my thing, you do your business, what kind of bear temper do you have?"
Two of you, you stare at me, I stare at you, all fists clenched tightly, as if you are really ready to fight hard.
I don't know how long it was, I don't know when it was, but the two pairs of iron fists were already clenched together.
"You're not a thing. ”
"I'm not a thing, neither are you, we're human. ”
"You're not human, you're a roundworm in my stomach, otherwise how would you know what I'm going to do?"
"Because I know you. Hu Tiehua said: "I know you better than you." ”
After saying this, he himself laughed first, and both of them laughed, and even the people from a distance were woken up by their laughter.
They laugh as hard as they can when they want to laugh and drink as hard as they can.
When you really want to go hard, you don't hesitate.
"Good. You fight for your life, I fight for mine. It's just that someone really wants to fight for our lives, and it's probably not easy. ”
"You're desperate for your life, and mine. I'm desperate for my life, and you're still alive. Who can fight it?"
"谁都不行."
Chapter 9: Killing in the Rain
There was a thunderclap, and the spring thunder sounded again. The pouring rain was like a wave of anger that had been in the chest for a long time, and finally fell.
Lightning bolts tore through the dark firmament. The raindrops shone silver like pearls, and then turned into a silver curtain of light, enveloping the dark land.
It was supposed to be sunrise now, but when there was no lightning, it was darker between heaven and earth.
Chu Liuxiang stood under the torrential rain, letting the hail-like raindrops hit him, and it was really happy.
He's been idle for too long. In the past two years, apart from drinking tea, watching the moon, enjoying the flowers and stepping on the snow, he has hardly done anything else.
There seems to be nothing in this world that can make him feel exciting and worth taking risks, and there is no longer the kind of person who can make his palms sweat.
But now there is.
Now his opponent is the invincible Shi Tianwang who roams the seven seas, a man who has never been defeated by anyone.
Thinking that he was going to face such a person, the excitement and stimulation made Chu Liuxiang have a familiar enthusiasm in his chest, and as for the success or defeat of life and death, he didn't care about it at all. Taking risks is not his preference, but his nature, like the blood that runs in his veins.
The rain was heavier, and Chu Liuxiang strode forward, out of the city, and onto the muddy path that was uninhabited under the hillside.
He had come here on purpose, because he had just suddenly felt a strong murderous aura.
He couldn't see, smell, or touch, but he could feel it, and his senses were as sensitive and correct as a leopard's smell of blood.
The bloody aura will be diluted by the rainstorm, and so will the murderous aura.
Strangely, this time the murderous intent he felt was even stronger in the rainstorm.
This time he undoubtedly had another very strange and terrible opponent, who was watching and waiting for his life.
He didn't know who this person was, and he didn't know why he wanted to kill him, he only knew that as long as this person made a move, it would definitely be a fatal blow, and it was likely that he couldn't dodge and resist.
But instead of retreating from fear, his spirits were lifted.
He waited for the man to appear, like a teenage girl waiting to meet her first date.
Now he has walked onto the uninhabited hillside, and the dark trees and hideous rocks on the hillside are the best cover for an assassin.
The murderous intent he felt was stronger, but the person he was waiting for hadn't yet appeared.
What is this person waiting for?
There is a kind of person in this world who seems to be born to kill people.
They are human, not beasts, but in their nature they have the composure of a bear, the brutality of a wolf, the agility of a leopard, and the cunning and patience of a fox.
This person is undoubtedly like this.
He's still waiting, just because he's waiting for the best opportunity.
Chu Liuxiang gave him such a chance.
Thunder and lightning are timed with intervals, and Chu Liuxiang has already calculated the gap between them.
So he slipped suddenly.
At this moment, the lightning flashed again, and suddenly a bat flew out of the dark trees.
After the lightning, a thunderbolt struck.
In the afterglow of the lightning leaking from the torn dark clouds, a striking sword light could just be seen with a thunderbolt of spring thunder volleying down, carrying the power of heaven and earth, slashing towards the top of Chu Liuxiang's head.
This is a must-kill sword.
This knife seemed to have been fused with a spring thunder that shook the heavens and the earth.
Unfortunately, Chu Liuxiang didn't really slip, it just looked like she had slipped.
It's not easy to pretend.
Just like some of the moves used to lure the enemy in some martial arts, there is also an impeccable defensive posture in this slip, an opportunity to advance or retreat.
So this knife is cut off.
Heaven and earth returned to darkness, and in the boundless darkness, Chu Liuxiang couldn't see this person anymore.
But this person also couldn't see Chu Liuxiang.
Even if he could see many things in the dark like the highest level ninja, he couldn't see Chu Liuxiang anymore.
Because after Chu Liuxiang flashed this knife, he suddenly miraculously lost his trace.
The lightning flashed again.
A man in black with a black scarf standing on the hillside, with a cold and bewitching light in his eyes exposed on the black scarf, holding a strange-shaped long knife with both hands, the tip of the knife drooped, and he stood without moving, but his whole body was waiting for an opportunity to move.
As long as Chu Liuxiang makes a move, he is bound to deliver another powerful blow.
Chu Liuxiang did not appear.
闪电又亮起，一闪，再闪。
The man still stood there motionless, in the same position.
He couldn't move, and he didn't dare to move.
Because the situation has changed now, his opponent has replaced his advantage just now, as if he was watching him secretly, ready to deliver a fatal blow to him at any moment.
As soon as he moved, his near-flawless posture would be ruined.
That moment was the difference between life and death for him.
The rain suddenly weakened, the sky suddenly brightened, and although he still did not move, his cold and calm eyes were already shaking.
His energy has been drained too much.
Faced with an invisible opponent, faced with an unpredictable situation that could happen at any time, his energy and physical strength were far greater than those he consumed when he slashed with his sword.
What's even more terrifying is that his spirit is gradually close to collapse.
He couldn't bear this pressure, no one could bear it, his eyes were scattered, and the tip of the knife in his hand pointed at the earth, and the long knife that was as immobile as the earth was suddenly raised.
At this moment, a long sigh suddenly came from the dark forest: "You are dead, you are dead." ”
A person said in a voice full of sorrow and exclamation, "If Chu Xiangshuai is a murderer like you, then you are already a dead man by now." He sighed and said: "I really can't imagine that the invincible Iga No. 1 ninja Harulei Iji, this time he actually lost so badly, Chu Xiangshuai hasn't made a move, you have been defeated in his hands, it's a pity." ”
By the time the last sentence was spoken, the man's voice was gone.
Iga Harulei sat down suddenly, sitting in the mud, and suddenly pulled another short knife from his belt and stabbed himself in the stomach.
In the dark forest, there was a girl holding a bright red oil-paper umbrella, and she walked out gently and skillfully, wearing a small shoulder embroidered with cherry blossoms.
The blade slashed from left to right, spurting out bloody arrows.
The cherry girl didn't even look at it, but smiled at a big tree in the distance, and gave a salute: "Chu Xiangshuai, when the lights are in charge tonight, someone will wait for Xiang Shuai at the love girl in the Forgetful Love Pavilion, I also hope that Xiang Shuai can go, but I don't know if Xiang Shuai dares to go?"
The crystal cup, the exquisite lyre, and the couplet hanging on the powder wall are not known to come from the handwriting of a talented person.
"Why send this,
Who can forget their feelings?"
A thin, short, white-haired old man toasted to Chu Liuxiang with a gentle, elegant and polite attitude.
"In Shimoshida Saihiko Saemon, although he has lived in a small country for a long time, he has long admired the chivalrous name of Xiangshuai. The old man said, "In the early hours of this morning, I was even more fortunate to witness Xiang Shuai defeat Yiji's sword technique like spring thunder with a silent, formless and shadowless sword, so that Zai Xia comprehended the martial arts of braking with static, and responding to all changes with unchanged, and also opened his eyes. ”
He was very old, his body was already very weak, and he spoke with a jerky accent. However, it is not easy for an old man from a foreign country to be able to speak such Chinese.
Listening to his words, you can hear that he has a deep cultivation of all martial arts in Sinology, and looking at his pair of bright necks, you can also see that he still has a very strong will, and an inviolable dignity and confidence in his weakened body.
Chu Liuxiang smiled, "Mr. Ishida Qi is really polite, but it's a pity that I'm a person who is not very polite, and I have a kind of disease." ”
"Xiang Shuai is also sick?" the old man asked, "What disease?"
"Headaches. Chu Liuxiang said: "As soon as I hear someone say kind words, I will have a terrible headache!"
The old man smiled too.
"Then I'll be straight to the point. Ishida Qi asked Chu Liuxiang, "Do you know who asked Iji to kill you?"
"I know, it's you. ”
"Why should I want him to kill you?"
The old man himself replied to the question, "Because I want to know if you really have the great ability as the legend says." ”
"Why do you want to know this?"
"Because I want you to kill someone for me. "Kill whom?"
"Shi Tianwang. ”
"Why did you kill him?" Chu Liuxiang asked, "Why don't you keep him to deal with us?"
"I'm going to kill him, but it's just a little personal grudge between me and him. The old man still spoke gently: "I have lived too long, and now my only wish to live is to see him die before me." ”
He stared at Chu Liuxiang with a pair of piercing eyes.
"Of course, it's not easy to get him to die, and the only person who can do it may be you. "But I also know that it will not be easy for you to do this. ”
He clapped his hands suddenly, and Miss Sakurako immediately came in with a suitcase. "I know she bought a box for 300,000 taels. The old man said, "But I believe that this box is probably more than 300,000 taels." He opened the box, and it was full of boxes of pearl jasper.
Chu Liuxiang sighed: "This box is probably worth at least one and a half million taels." Even if it is a thief's stolen goods, if you sell it to the person who collects it, you can sell it for seven or eight hundred thousand. ”
The old man stroked his palm and smiled, "Xiang Shuai's vision is really very smart, but my valuation method is a little different from Xiang Shuai." ”
"What's different?"
"I'm a human valuator. I've always liked to value people on a human basis. Ishida said, "I estimate that this box is probably enough to buy three thousand virgin virgins for chastity, and enough to buy the same number of warriors to fight for me." ”
The jewels in the box looked even more brilliant under the light, and even Chu Liuxiang seemed to be stupid.
Ishida Qi narrowed his eyes and looked at Chu Liuxiang.
"Now this box is yours. The old man said, "If you do what I want you to do, there is another box of the same kind." Chu Liuxiang smiled, and suddenly clapped her hands: "Xiaoqing, where are you?"
Of course petty feelings can come in.
If she wasn't here, how could this be called the Forgetfulness Pavilion? If there was no little love here, who else would come here? Xiaoqing wasn't too beautiful, her eyes weren't too big, her mouth wasn't small, and she looked a little too thin, but she could make people forget her.
Because whoever sees her will feel as if there is something special about her, different from anyone else, different from anyone else.
Of course, there are places where she sees jewels like other women, and her eyes are the same.
"The contents of this box are worth at least 1.5 million taels. Chu Liuxiang said: "If this old gentleman is willing to give you this box, will you sleep with him?"
"How could I not?"
The voice of the little love is soft and soft.
"That's what I do, a woman who does something like ours can't make so much in her life, and if she can earn so much in one night, she can do whatever she asks me to do. She sighed softly, "It's a pity that I probably won't be able to make money tonight." ”
"Why?"
Xiaoqing leaned softly on Chu Liuxiang's body, and touched his own nose for him with a soft finger: "Because you are here tonight, I want to accompany you." ”
Ishida Qi's face suddenly turned pale, because he already understood what Chu Liuxiang meant.
Chu Liuxiang had already pushed the box over with a hard finger and pushed it in front of him.
"It looks like you're hopeless tonight, whether you're going to find someone to sleep with you or someone to fight for you. ”
His smile was just as gentle and polite.
"So you'd better go, with your suitcase, and better go quickly. Chu Liuxiang said with a smile: "Because I can guarantee that you will probably be hopeless tomorrow night." ”
Before the third watch, Chu Liuxiang had already fallen asleep, not sleeping on Xiaoqing's bed, but sleeping in a carriage.
He likes to sleep in the car, and when he wakes up, he's in a different place, maybe a strange place he's never been to, and it's funny.
Riding in the car and sleeping were supposed to be time-consuming and boring, but after he mixed them up like this, it became fun.
That's how many things happen in the world. There are many unsatisfactory and uninteresting things in life, and no one can avoid them, but a person who really knows how to enjoy life will always think of ways to change it.
The car was light and healthy, and he walked quickly, but Chu Liuxiang still slept soundly.
Suddenly, the car window was gently pushed open, and a person slid in from the roof of the car like a snake, with a slender waist and soft and flexible, a pair of slender and strong legs full of elasticity, and sat down opposite Chu Liuxiang gently and skillfully, looking at him with a pair of big black and white eyes, he had been watching for a long time. Chu Liuxiang didn't seem to know at all.
He slept like a lazy cat, and it was not easy to wake up a lazy cat who had fallen asleep, but our haunting Sakurako girl always had her way.
She was determined to get the lazy cat to smell a little fishy first.
If a cat doesn't wake up when it smells fishy, then the cat is not a lazy cat, it's a dead cat.
There is no fish here, where does the fishy smell come from?
Sakura Yu only turned herself into a fish first, a favorite fish of lazy cats like Chu Liuxiang.
Chu Liuxiang really began to lose it soon.
His eyes were still closed, but his hand had caught hers.
"No, I'm going to spank. ”
Sakurako smiled: "I know you didn't really fall asleep, but if you don't open your eyes again, I might have to eat you." ”
Cats eat fish, and fish sometimes eat cats, not only cats, but also people.
Chu Liuxiang sighed, finally opened his eyes, and began to touch his nose: "Can you tell me, why do you have to wake me up, why can't you let me sleep?"
"I can't sleep, and neither can you. ”
"Why can't you sleep?"
"I have something on my mind. ”
"Do you also have something on your mind?" Chu Liuxiang seemed to feel very strange, "How can you be on your mind?"
"Because I heard something that I shouldn't have heard. Sakurako said, "You wouldn't have let me hear these words, but unfortunately when you sat on the roof and drank so much that you forgot that there was a woman nearby who had studied ninjutsu for seventeen years, and who, like you, was an expert at eavesdropping on other people's conversations." ”
Chu Liuxiang smiled bitterly: "Did you hear everything we said that day?"
"It's strange because I heard it. Sakurako said, "Why did you refuse him? That's 1.5 million taels of silver, but not 150,000 taels, why don't you take it, do you think his people are too good to bear to take his money?"
"Maybe yes. ”
"Then why do you insist on taking 300,000 taels from me, a poor woman?"
Because not only are you peeking at other people taking a shower, but you're also putting them in a box. ”
Sakurako stared at him for a long time before sighing softly, "I know what you said is not the truth, you refuse to accept Ishida Qi's silver, just because you hate people like him and don't want to do things for him." Sakurako said, "If you hate someone, even if he piles up silver in front of you, piled higher than a mountain, you won't look at it." ”
Chu Liuxiang smiled, "In this way, since I am willing to ask for your silver, of course, it is because I like you." ”
Sakurako stared at him for a long time, and suddenly said, "I like you too, I like you more than anyone else, and of course I like you more than that princess, and I know that you like me fake, but I like you but not fake at all." ”
She grabbed Chu Liuxiang's hand and didn't let Chu Liuxiang touch her nose.
"But I really don't understand what kind of person you are. Sakurako said: "Ishida Qi wants to deal with Shi Tianwang, just because Shi Tianwang robbed his beloved concubine Xia Ji, what about you? What are you for, is it really for that princess?"
Chu Liuxiang didn't answer, but asked again: "Shi Tianwang snatched Shi Tianqi's concubine, that's why he asked you to steal Shi Tianwang's princess, but there are so many masters in Jade Sword Villa, how can you put her in a box and steal it?"
"Three months ago, I thought of taking over Xiang'er's errand. Sakurako explained: "Xiang'er is the girl who specializes in serving the princess to take a bath." ”
She blinked and smiled: "You probably know that the princess is a person who likes to be clean, and she rarely wears the clothes she changes a second time, and often takes out boxes of old clothes and gives them away." This is not the first time. ”
"Only this time the box you took out was not filled with old clothes, but with the person who wore them. Chu Liuxiang sighed, listening to you, this matter seems to be very simple. ”
"It's so simple. Sakurako said, "There are many things in the world that seem complicated and difficult, but they are all so simple. ”
Her expression suddenly became very serious: "It's just that if someone wants to get mixed up with Shi Tianwang's big ship named 'Tianwang', it won't be so simple, even the omnipotent Chu Liuxiang may not be able to do it." ”
"Hello!"
"He always stays on that boat for more than twenty days in a month, and if you can't get on that boat, you can't see his people at all, and if you don't know where the boat is, how can you get on the boat?"
"Reasonable. Chu Liuxiang admitted: "It's not easy to do this. ”
Sakurako smiled, smiling like a cherry blossom in full bloom.
"Thankfully, it's possible to solve the problem. "No matter how difficult it is, there is always a way to solve it." ”
"How to fix it?"
"As long as you can find someone who has the means to help you, the problem is solved. ”
"Who is this person who has a way. ”
"Me!"
Sakurako pointed at her delicate nose with a white and soft finger, "This person who has a way is me." ”
Chu Liuxiang also smiled, smiling more happily than Sakurako.
"It seems that my luck seems to be good, and I actually met such a person with a way as you. ”
"I've heard you've always had good luck. ”
"But why are you doing me this favor?"
"First, because I'm happy, and second, because I'm willing. Sakurako looked at Chu Liuxiang with a pair of smiling eyes that seemed to be full of water, "Third, because I like you." ”
"Why did you suddenly like me so much?" Chu Liuxiang still smiled happily, "How can you talk like that?" Sakurako was a little angry, "Why do you always think of me as a ruthless and unrighteous person?"
"I know that you are affectionate and righteous, and I also know that without you, I would never have been able to do this. Chu Liuxiang said softly: "But do you know what the one thing I want to do most now?"
"I don't know. Sakurako blinked, her voice sweeter than honey, "I really don't know." ”
"I believe it. Chu Liuxiang's voice was gentle, "I'm sure you not only don't know, but you can't even think of it." ”
Sakurako's eyes were like silk: "Maybe I know? Maybe I thought about it a long time ago!"
She didn't expect it.
Because as soon as she finished saying this, Chu Liuxiang had already pushed the car door and threw her out of the carriage like a ball.
Chapter 10 Things are like a spring dream, without a trace
It is a fine three-masted ship, with clean white sails, a long and narrow hull, and a solid and smooth essence that gives a sense of stability, swiftness and magnificence.
The sun was shining, the water was blue, the seagulls glided lightly between the masts, and the distant shore was only a hazy gray shadow, and from time to time there was a delicate laughter from under the cabin.
It was his own world, and there would never be visitors he hated.
He had returned, lying comfortably on the deck, sipping cold wine chilled by seawater.
It's a pity that the carriage and horse suddenly stopped at this time, and his dream woke up again.
Chu Liuxiang sighed and sat up lazily, it was still dark outside the car window, and it was still very early until dawn. -- Why did the carriage and horses stop at this time? Could it be that something is going on?
Chu Liuxiang had already found that something was wrong, and at this moment, the door of the carriage was suddenly opened from the outside, and a black and dignified Han tower stood outside the door, shirtless and bald, with a shining gold ball hanging on his left ear, and the muscles on his body were bulging one by one, and the black iron-like chest was pierced with a grizzly bear standing up, and the muscles of the big man were bounced, and the grizzly bear seemed to be making a gesture.
In the middle of the night, it was really not fun to suddenly see such a vicious man in the wilderness.
Chu Liuxiang sighed again: "Brother, what do you mean by this, if I am a little timid, will I have to be scared to death by you?"
The big man didn't speak, just stared at him with a pair of big eyes like copper bells.
Chu Liuxiang could only ask him again, "Are you here to find me?"
Dahan nodded, but still didn't make a sound.
"Do you know who I am?What are you looking for me?" Chu Liuxiang asked again: "Can you open your mouth and speak?"
The big man suddenly grinned at him, and finally opened his mouth, revealing a mouthful of beast-like white teeth, as if he wanted to swallow Chu Liuxiang and the belt bones.
Chu Liuxiang was startled, not because he looked terrible.
Even if he really wanted to eat people, Chu Liuxiang was not someone who would be eaten so easily.
The reason why Chu Liuxiang was taken aback by him was just because he suddenly found that there was something missing in this big man's mouth, and it was the most indispensable thing.
This big man only has teeth in his mouth, but no tongue.
His tongue had been cut out by the human roots.
Chu Liuxiang smiled bitterly, "Brother, since you can't speak, and I don't know what you want to do, what do you say?"
The big man grinned again, he didn't seem to have any ill will towards Chu Liuxiang, and seemed to be trying his best to be friendly, but he suddenly stretched out a pair of big hands bigger than a bear's paw to grab Chu Liuxiang.
It turns out that this big man with developed limbs is not simple-minded, and he still knows how to deceive.
But of course Chu Liuxiang will not be caught by him, how can this little trick deceive the extremely smart Chu Liuxiang.
Even if his hand was ten times bigger, he didn't want to touch Chu Liuxiang's side a little, even if there were ten pairs of such big hands to grab him, Chu Liuxiang could still walk away calmly and wave away.
Unexpectedly, Chu Xiangshuai, who is unparalleled in the world, was caught by him all of a sudden. These hands are like the clutches of a fierce god, and they can grasp anything at will. Grab it and never let go again.
There is a small lake in the dense forest, and there is a water pavilion next to the lake, and there are still lights on in the blue screen window, and there are people.
This person is actually Chu Liuxiang.
Everything in the elegantly furnished pavilion has been carefully selected, and the sound of water outside the window is beautiful and soft.
On a small table, as if from the Persian court, there were also six delicate dishes and a pot of wine.
There are two pairs of cups and chopsticks, but there is only one person.
He was caught by the big man as soon as he could, just because he could see that the big man had no ill will towards him, and it was not his key point.
Of course, he was sure that he would be able to get out of the big man's grasp at any time.
The most important thing was that he really wanted to see what the big man was going to do to him.
But until now, he still didn't understand what the big man meant.
He put Chu Liuxiang on his shoulder, sent it here, straightened Chu Liuxiang's clothes, took a chair for Chu Liuxiang to sit down, grinned at Chu Liuxiang again, patted Chu Liuxiang's shoulder with the most supportive attitude, and then left.
- What does he mean by this, who asked him to send Chu Liuxiang here?
Who is the owner of this place?
Chu Liuxiang didn't even have a clue.
The starlight outside the blue screen window was hazy, he pushed open the window, the water on the lake was sparkling, and the starlight seemed to be boiling in the lake.
There was silence between heaven and earth, but there was a soft sound of footsteps behind him.
Chu Liuxiang turned around and saw a crescent moon that was enough to make the starry sky lose the color of the lake.
"Is it you?" Chu Liuxiang tried not to make herself look too surprised: "How did you come here?"
The eyewaves of the crescent moon are also like the crescent moon. "I come here a lot. "Whenever I'm in a bad mood, I'll come here." She smiled suddenly, with an indescribable loneliness in her smile. "The axles of a car often need a little oil, and people often need to be quiet and think about it. "Sometimes loneliness is like the kind of oil that is put on the axle of a car that makes the heart turn much more briskly." Her appearance seemed to be a little weird, and her words were also a little weird, as if she was no longer the girl Chu Liuxiang saw in the box that day, and the cold and luxurious Jade Sword Princess was more like two completely different people.
"It's a pity that you can't seem to be quiet by yourself tonight. Chu Liuxiang said deliberately, "Because I don't want to leave for the time being." ”
"Even if you want to go, I won't let you go. Crescent Moon said, "I finally invited you here, how could I let you go?"
"Did you invite me here?" Chu Liuxiang smiled bitterly, "I don't think I've heard of that way of entertaining." ”
Crescent Moon winked and smiled.
"It's because you're a special person that I invite you in that special way. She said, "If it weren't for your curiosity again, who would have invited you?"
Chu Liuxiang also smiled. "Anyway, if you can find such a person to treat you for you, you are really capable. Chu Liuxiang said, "When I saw him for the first time, I thought I saw a bear. ”
"He was originally called Old Bear. ”
"What's going on with his tongue?" Chu Liuxiang couldn't help but ask, "Who has such a great ability to cut off such a big man's tongue?"
"It's himself. ”
Chu Liuxiang was stunned again, "Why did he cut off his tongue?"
"Because he was afraid that he would say something he shouldn't have said. ”
Xinyue said lightly, "You should also know that I often have some secrets that I can't let others know. ”
Chu Liuxiang began to touch her nose again: "It's also a secret that you came to me today?"
"Yes. ”
Xinyue looked at Chu Liuxiang with a very strange look: "Until now, no one else will know that you have been here except ourselves. ”
"What about the future?" "Later?" Crescent Moon's voice was also strange, "I'm afraid that no one will know about it in the future, not even us." ”
"Why?"
"Because we're going to forget about it. ”
With that, she did something even stranger. ”
She suddenly unstrapped, letting the light robe she was wearing slip off her shoulders and let the soft light shine all over her.
So Chu Liuxiang saw her crimson crescent moon again.
The crescent moon falls into the bosom.
Her carcass is soft, smooth and warm.
"I just want you to remember," she whispered in his ear, "you are my first man, and in my heart, I am afraid there will be no second man in the future." ”
"Why are you doing this?"
"You have to go to find Shi Tianwang for me, and you know that this trip is likely to be impossible to come back again. She asked Chu Liuxiang, "Would you have done this kind of thing before?"
"Probably not. ”
"I wouldn't have done something like the one I did today. She whispered, "But if you can do it, why can't I?"
The water rippled, and a light veil-like morning mist had risen on the water waves, covering a lake of starlight.
The night is gone, and the people are gone.
"I met my father once. "That was when I was very young, and my mother asked me to have a wet nurse take me, and I still remember what he was like back then." ”
At this moment, she suddenly mentioned her parents, which was really unexpected.
Chu Liuxiang originally had a lot of things she wanted to ask her.
-- Why didn't your mother go to see him, why did they break up?
Before he could ask, Crescent continued, "I remember that he was a very handsome man, and he looked better when he smiled, and I really wanted him to hug me." ”
Crescent Moon's voice was calm: "But his hand has been holding his sword all the time, and it has been held so tightly that I have not dared to speak." ”
"He hasn't hugged you all this time?"
"He didn't. ”
Chu Liuxiang didn't ask anything anymore.
A prodigal son who had fallen to the ends of the earth, who might still have the blood of his enemies on his sword, suddenly saw that his own daughter had grown so big, so pure and lovely, how could he bear to let her suffer for the rest of his life in order to remember him? How could he stretch out his hand?
Is this affectionate? or ruthless?
A wandering man in the world, who can understand the loneliness and loneliness in his heart?
Why doesn't he want others to know about him?
晨雾如烟，往事也如烟。
"I haven't seen him since, and I'm afraid I won't see him again. "I just want you to tell him that I've been doing well." ”
Chu Liuxiang was silent for a long time, "I'm afraid I may not be able to see him in the future." ”
"Yes, you may not be able to see him again. The crescent moon said faintly, "I'm afraid you won't see me again in the future." ”
Yangtze River, Yedu.
The people who crossed the wild boat did not have an empty boat, and the people were lying on the side of the ferry like an empty boat, looking up at a long white cloud in the sky.
The white clouds are gone, and the white clouds are coming.
What about people?
"Is the person sleeping there Chu Xiangshuai?"
A river boat went down the river, and a boy in white stood on the bow of the boat, shouting loudly from afar: "There is someone on the boat who wants to see Chu Xiangshuai; Chu Xiangshuai must also want to see him." The boy's voice was clear: "Chu Xiangshuai, if you want to see it, please come on the boat, otherwise you will definitely regret it." ”
But the boat had no intention of stopping to greet the passengers, and the man lying on his back on the ferry did not move.
The river is surging, and there is no return.
The boat will also go with the waves.
But the man had already flown up, and suddenly he flew up, swept over the Sizhang River, turned over in the air, and kicked a large splash on his toes.
Then his man had already landed on the bow of the boat, smiling at the stunned boy in white.
"I'm Chu Liuxiang, if you tell me to get on the boat, I'll come up. He said, "But if there is no one on the boat I want to see, you'd better take off your pants yourself and wait for me to spank." ”
He smiled a little maliciously.
"Sakurako-girl, you should know that I don't want to see you at all. ”
The cabin was snow-white and spotless, and the cabin was covered with snow-white straw mats.
The white-haired Ishida Saihiko Saemon sat cross-legged at a very low rosewood table, and his attitude was still so gentle, elegant and polite. "It's really lucky to be able to see Xiang Shuai again. The old man said, "I specially prepared the supreme drunkenness of our country for Xiang Shuai - Ju Zhengzong, I hope to be able to get drunk with Xiang Shuai." ”
The wine with a light fragrance is served in a delicate shallow lamp, the color of the wine is clear, and there is no cloudiness at all.
He took one of his own first, asked the maid kneeling next to him to fill the wine vessel, and then offered it to Chu Liuxiang with both hands.
This is their most respectful hospitality.
"I hope Xiang Shuai can understand that the last time Sakurako went to find Xiang Shuai, she definitely didn't mean it. ”
"Isn't it?"
"Xiang Shuai is suave, unparalleled in the world, and I don't know how many women in the world are willing to dedicate themselves to advancement, how can it be someone else's idea?" the old man smiled, "Xiang Shuai must be able to understand this." ”
Although his attitude was gentle and polite, his smiling eyes seemed to have another meaning.
Chu Liuxiang stared at him, and suddenly asked, "How do you know that I will be here?"
Ishida's eyes flickered.
"It's not a secret, I really know the whereabouts of Xiang Shuai in the past two days. ”
"How clear is it?"
Perhaps it is clearer than Xiang Shuai imagined. ”
Chu Liuxiang Huo Ran stood up, sat down slowly, drank a glass of wine slowly, and a smile appeared on his face.
"This wine is clear but not astringent, sweet but not greasy, and there is a real taste in the light, it is really a good wine. ”
He also asked the maid to fill the wine vessel and present it to the old man, and suddenly changed the subject: "You know who the person I want to see is? ”
Ishida Qi didn't answer, just quietly looked at the rolling river outside the window, and after a long time, he suddenly sighed softly, "You see that this river rammed all day long, even if someone throws ten thousand taels of gold down, it will only splash a splash, and when the splash disappears, the river still does not change, as if nothing has happened." The old man said, "It doesn't matter if you invest in 10,000 taels of gold or 100 catties of scrap iron, the result will be like this." ”
Chu Liuxiang was also looking at the river outside the window, as if she was also crazy. After a long time, the old man continued: "The world is like this, and there are many helpless things in this world, and once they pass, they will be like a spring dream without a trace. ”
Ishida's sigh was indeed filled with sadness.
"Things are like a spring dream, there is no trace, this situation can only become chasing billions, so that people have no choice at all. ”
His smiling eyes suddenly shot out of a sharp blade-like light, forcing Chu Liuxiang to look at him, "But you have." "Others don't have it, but you do." ”
"What do I have?"
"You can choose, do you want to fulfill others, let this love become a chase forever, or do you want to fulfill yourself?"
His voice was also as powerful as a sharp blade: "Just play if you want, I can help you find the person of your dreams, take you to a paradise, let you be in harmony and spend your life together." Ishida said sharply: "This is what others dream of but can't ask for, if you give up easily, you will regret and suffer for the rest of your life." ”
Chu Liuxiang listened quietly, as if he didn't even react at all, only his closest friends could see the trace of pain hidden in his eyes.
But his closest friend wasn't here.
The old man's voice turned soft, "It's your business, the choice is yours." ”
This choice is undoubtedly very painful, even more painful than not having a choice.
Chu Liuxiang suddenly smiled.
"I see what you mean. He said, "You can't rob people, and you can't kill me, so you can only use this method to ask me to help you destroy this family business, because after Shi Tianwang and Mr. Du got married, you couldn't deal with him, and there was no chance at all." ”
Ishida 齐神色不变。
"Even if I had the intention, it would be good for you. The old man said, "If it is good for each other, why should it not be done?"
"There's only one thing. ”
"Which point?"
"Actually, there are more than one, at least two," Chu Liuxiang said leisurely: "First, I don't want to go to any hellish paradise, the lights are bright, and when Luo is half-understood, it is my paradise." ”
He took the flask from the waitress, "Second, I don't want to marry a wife at all, I haven't even thought about it in my life." ”
Ishida 齐沉默.
Chu Liuxiang held the wine cup in one hand, held the wine jug, poured himself a drink, and drank one cup after another.
Ishida Qi looked at him, his pupils seemed to be gradually contracting, but his voice became gentler, "It is rumored in the rivers and lakes that in the past, the swordsmanship of the blood-clothed swordsman Xue Yiren was known as the best in the world, but he would also be defeated by Xiang Shuai. The old man said, "I have also learned swords for many years, and I also want to learn Xiang Shuai's swordsmanship, so I asked Xiang Shuai to teach me." ”
He didn't stand up, and he didn't have a sword in his hand.
The old man, who claimed to have been learning swords for many years, just picked up a chopstick with two fingers and held it flat in front of his eyes.
This is not a posture of attack.
But a person who has really learned swordsmanship can immediately see that this posture is far more dangerous than all attacks in the world, and even far more dangerous than Chunlei's knife and Mr. Du's flower branches.
In this completely static posture, there are endless changes and killers.
Although he didn't have the thunderous sword of Chunlei Iji in his hand, he completely had the advantage.
Because Chu Liuxiang's whole body was completely exposed to every empty door in front of his eyes.
Although the chopsticks in his hand did not take the stab that Mr. Du took the lead, he did not let Chu Liuxiang take the lead.
To rob is not to rob, not to rob is to rob, to preemptively, with static braking, the essence of swordsmanship, has been in it.
What's more, Chu Liuxiang couldn't grab it at all, and he couldn't move.
Chu Liuxiang was pouring wine. Hold the wine cup in one hand and the other in the other, and pour wine for yourself.
He himself had devoted all his hands to this most leisurely, lazy, and unmurderous action, and even if he had murderous intent and vigilance in his heart, it had already flowed out with the wine in the pot.
How can he move?
But there is always a time when the wine in the pot is finished, and there is always a time when the wine cup is full.
Whether the wine in the pot had been poured out, or the wine cup had been filled, at that moment, he had to move even if he did not move.
Ishida's killer will also come out of that moment.
This glass of wine is probably Chu Liuxiang's last cup of wine.
Wine in the glass.
Aunt Hua poured a glass of wine for Hu Tiehua, although it was a golden cup, it was just a glass.
One glass of wine is one glass of wine, not three glasses, not three hundred glasses.
The only difference between this glass of wine and someone else's glass of wine is this glass.
Even Hu Tiehua had never seen such a big cup.
Fortunately, he is Hu Tiehua, he has been drinking for 20 years, and he has been drunk about four or five thousand times, and sometimes he even drinks more wine in a day than others have drunk in their lifetime combined.
But after he drank this wine, he still had to catch his breath for half a day.
"My mother," Hu Tiehua shouted, "is this thing you gave me a drink glass or a bathtub?"
Aunt Hua laughed and picked up a big wine jar as if she was going to pour wine for him again.
Hu Tiehua's eyes immediately widened as if they were cow marbles.
"What do you mean by that?"
"What else do I mean? I just want to toast you again, because you are about to leave, and you are going to do something big, although it is not out of the west, I also want to advise you to have a more drink. ”
Aunt Hua's voice was gentle, and she smiled gently, and there was a hint of sadness in her smile. "Persuade you to have another glass of wine, there is no one on the coast of the East China Sea. She said, "Come, I'll have a drink with you." ”
"I'll be back even if there is no old one, and the old bug must be there by now. Hu Tiehua smiled bitterly, "But if I really drink this cup again, I'm afraid I'll die here." ”
Aunt Hua smiled, "Do you think Chu Liuxiang will really go?"
"He said that if he would go, he would definitely go, even if he went up the knife mountain and went down to the oil pot, he would definitely go. "What if he doesn't make it?"
"How can he not go?" Hu Tiehua glared again, "If he wants to go, who can stop him?
Aunt Hua sighed, "If no one knew he was going, he would probably be there by now, but it's a pity that he has a friend's mouth bigger than the bathtub." ”
"Yes, I'm a big mouth. Hu Tiehua was confident, "It's not a shameful thing, why can't I tell others?"
"Of course you can tell anyone, whoever you want. Aunt Hua said: "It's just that the more people who know about this, the more trouble he will have." ”
She took another breath: "Shi Tianwang's subordinates are not vegetarians, just one Bai Yunsheng is enough for him to bear." Aunt Hua said very carefully, "I can guarantee that Bai Yunsheng's swordsmanship is by no means below that of Xue Yiren back then." ”
Hu Tiehua was not convinced, and wanted to argue, but someone outside had already reported that the procession of sending off relatives was about to leave.
Hua Nanny suddenly hugged Hu Tiehua: "There will be many dangers along the way, you must pay special attention and take care." She whispered in his ear, "Although I am not your own mother, I have always treated you like a precious son, and you must not die on the road." ”
The night was getting deeper, and the river was already lit up with fishing fires, which seemed to be brighter than the stars in the sky.
It was still dark in the cabin, and Ishida Saihiko Saemon sat quietly in the darkness alone, and although the bag containing the fire mirror and flint made by Kyoto Gomoriya was close to him, he had no intention of lighting the lamp with a stone. The lights were brought into the cabin by Sakurako.
The petite Sakurako was still dressed as a child, her long black hair was tied into a pair of hanging buns, and her big shining eyes were full of surprise: "Only Mr. is here alone?"
"I'm the only one here. Ishida's voice was tired and somber, sounding like a traveler who had just returned from a long journey.
"What about Chu Liuxiang?"
"He's gone. ”
"How could he go?"
"Those who come come and go, those who come and go, who cares. ”
Sakurako's eyes widened, looking even more surprised.
"But I saw Mr. using chopsticks as a sword just now, and he became blue-eyed, Chu Xiangshuai was obviously completely controlled by Mr.'s sword momentum, how could he get away?"
Sakurako asked again, "Can he dodge Mister's win-and-kill blow?"
Ishida Qi looked at a little fishing fire on the river, and after a long time, he said leisurely: "He didn't hide, and he didn't have to hide." ”
"Why?"
"Because I didn't shoot at all. ”
Sakurako sat down and looked at him in surprise, "Why didn't Mr. make a move?"
"I can't shoot. "Because I'm not sure at all." ”
The distant fishing fire flickered in his eyes, but the old man's eyes had lost their original brilliance.
"He was pouring wine, and I was going to do it when his glass was full. "As soon as the glass is full, he has to stop pouring the wine, otherwise the wine in the glass will overflow, and that moment is my best chance." ”
"I understand. ”
Sakurako said: "In that case, the whole body is already moving, whether it is the overflowing glass or his own movements and posture changes, it will affect his spirit and appearance, as long as there is a little flaw in his divine body, the gentleman can stab him under the sword." ”
"Yes. Ishida sighed silently, "This is how it should have been. ”
"Did anything special change happen later?"
Ishida Qi smiled bitterly: "Chu Liuxiang is really very human, and his method of dealing with the situation is really unimaginable. "Did he never fill that glass of wine?" said Sakurako, "did the pot of wine happen to empty at that moment?"
"That's a good idea. "It's a pity that you're not right. ”
"Hello!"
"If that pot of wine had happened to have been poured out in that instant, he would now be dead by my sword. Ishida Qi said, "After the flask is poured, the spirit is discharged, and it is also my chance." ”
"The pot hasn't been poured?"
"Nope. ”
"The glass isn't full?"
"No, there isn't. ”
Sakurako looked at the wine glass and flask under the lamp: "He has been pouring wine, but he has never finished pouring the wine jug, and the wine in the cup has never overflowed?"
"Yes. ”
"Then I really can't figure out what's going on. Sakurako couldn't help but smile bitterly, "Could it be that this wine glass has some magic?"
"The wine cup can't, but his people have the law. ”
"What law?"
"The cycle is endless. Ishida said, "These eight words are his Fa." ”
"What kind of law is this? I don't understand. ”
He held the wine cup in one hand and the wine jug in the other, and when the wine in the pot flowed into the cup, the true qi between his left hand and his right hand had penetrated. Ishida said, "As soon as the true qi is through, it will flow endlessly, and the wine in the cup and pot will also flow endlessly." ”
"Therefore the wine in the pot can never be finished, and the wine in the cup can never be filled. ”
"Yes. ”
"True Qi and Wine are circulating, and his momentum is formed into a circle. "Yes. ”
"So the gentleman has never been able to wait for the opportunity to make a move. ”
Ishida Qi sighed for a long time: "Round as Tai Chi, endless, where will I have a chance?"
Sakurako sighed as well.
"Who would believe such a person who spends all his time drinking and not doing his job properly, and has such a great ability?" Sakurako smiled bitterly: "But now I can't help but believe it." ”
Ishida was silent for a long time.
"You believe it, and I believe it," he said, "and there is at least one other person besides you and me." ”
"Who?"
"I don't know who he is, but I do know that there is such a person, and he has been here. ”
"Sir didn't see him?"
"I didn't. Ishida Qi said, "Just as I was confronting each other with Chu Liuxiang and the supreme sword intent, this person suddenly appeared in silence, and in that case, I didn't have the distraction to look at him at all. ”
"He didn't make any moves?"
He watched us quietly until the end, when he said a few words. ”
-- Mr. Ishida has been defeated, Chu Xiangshuai might as well leave, and if he persists like this, I am afraid that it will not be beneficial to either of them, but it will be very beneficial to me.
"Good for him?" Sakurako asked, "What's the benefit?"
"The fisherman's profit. "If we hold on, he can kill us with a single move." ”
"Chu Liuxiang is not an ordinary person, he must be able to see the stakes clearly. ”
"I can tell the difference, too, so we stopped at about the same time. Ishida said, "In that instant, this person has also quietly disappeared."
Sakurako was stunned for a long time before sighing softly.
"Who is this person?" she said faintly, "A person like this must be like Chu Liuxiang, and there must be many women who like him." It doesn't matter if he is tall or short, fat or thin, ugly or handsome, there will be many women who like him. ”
Sakurako said, "Women will always like this kind of smart people." ”
Chapter 11 The most difficult to accept the grace of beauty
Women, so many women, so many good-looking women, so good-looking.
The woman is in bed, the bed is in the boat. There was a bed on this boat, so big, so big.
There is already a fishing fire on the river, and there is already starlight in the sky, and the starlight and fishing fire illuminate a flat boat, and also illuminate the figures on the boat.
Chu Liuxiang swept out of Ishida Qi's cabin and saw this person, dressed in white like snow.
The river shimmered with golden light between the starlight and the fishing fire, and there were three wooden planks floating on the golden waves.
The man in white on the flat boat flew up again, like a dragonfly in the water, and swept onto another river boat.
There were no stars, no moon, no lights and no fire on the boat, but when Chu Liuxiang got on the boat, the lights suddenly lit up like autumn stars and bright moon.
The man in white is gone.
Chu Liuxiang only saw a bed of women and a boatload of women.
A bed of women is not terrible, a boatload of women is not terrible, the terrible thing is that these women are actually recognized by him, not only do they recognize, but each one is very familiar.
Not only is it very cooked, but the noodles are very cooked, and it can be said that it is terribly cooked.
Chu Liuxiang really couldn't help but touch her nose.
Panpan who was recognized in Suzhou, Gillian who was recognized in Hangzhou, Jin Niang who was recognized in Datong, Chu Qing who was recognized in Luoyang, Xiaoyu who was recognized in Qinhuaihe, and Da Qiao who was recognized in Mochou Lake.
In addition to these girls who were recognized in various states, there was also the lover who had just broken up with him.
He can't forget his love, and he can't forget them.
They couldn't forget him.
But he never dreamed that they would suddenly appear in the same place at the same time.
If he meets one of them by chance, no matter where he is, no matter which one of them he meets, he will feel very happy, even very happy.
But all of a sudden, he met them all, and it really cost him his life.
It's like a nightmare, and any man would never want to encounter it.
The worst thing is that every woman is looking at him with a kind of affectionate eyes, and they all think that they are his only lover, and they also regard him as their only lover.
If you're also a man, if you encounter this kind of thing, do you say it's going to kill or not?
Chu Liuxiang not only wanted to touch his nose, but he couldn't wait to cut off his nose.
- If a person has his nose cut off, others probably won't recognize him.
Unfortunately, there are already people who are saying, "What are you trying to do with your nose?" and it was Da Qiao who spoke, "Even if you cut your nose off, I recognize you." ”
Da Qiao speaks most straightforwardly and does things the most happily.
Da Qiao seemed to be ready to come over and squeeze Chu Liuxiang, a thief who had never been afraid of others, into bed.
Chu Liuxiang couldn't hide if he wanted to, because there wasn't much open space left in the cabin of this ship except for this bed.
Fortunately, at this time, the mysterious man in white suddenly appeared again, a refreshing white dress, a gentle and elegant smiling face, coupled with a pair of smiling eyes like autumn stars and bright moons, there seemed to be white clouds floating in the smiling eyes from time to time, and there was such a white cloud in the distance.
"My surname is Bai, Baiyun's Bai, my name is Baiyunsheng. This person said, "The Chu people have been fragrant in the south of the Yangtze River for a long time, and there are gradually white clouds on the sea, and the latter sentence is about me." ”
Chu Liuxiang smiled: "What did you say about me in the previous sentence?"
"Who said that?"
"It's me. Bai Yunsheng's attitude was serious and polite, "It should be your honor that I can compare you with me." ”
It is strange and funny that a person can say such things in such a polite manner.
But he said it naturally.
Even if the funniest thing in the world comes out of his mouth, no one will find it funny.
Chu Liuxiang suddenly found that he had met a strange person again, perhaps much stranger than anyone he had met in his life.
"I think you'll know all these girls. Bai Yunsheng said: "I also know that they are all people you like." ”
Chu Liuxiang couldn't help but admit it.
Bai Yunsheng looked at him, and his smile flashed in his eyes, "I'm sorry, I don't know enough about you, and I don't know who you like the most, so I have to invite them all." ”
His smile was also gentle, "If you're tired of some of them, I can ask her to go back right away." ”
Bai Yunsheng said, "I have always been very thoughtful in my work, and I never want to embarrass my friends. ”
Chu Liuxiang smiled bitterly.
Such a thoughtful and polite person, he has never met one in his life.
He already felt a little overwhelmed.
Bai Yunsheng still wanted to ask him: "Whichever one you want me to send back, you might as well say it, and I will definitely do it." ”
What can Chu Liuxiang say.
Seven or eight pairs of eyes were staring at him, as if they were eager to bite him hard.
Chu Liuxiang only stiffened her head and said: "They are all my good friends, I like everyone, no matter who leaves, I will be sad." ”
Bai Yunsheng smiled, "Xiangshuai is really a passionate person, which really makes me envious." ”
Chu Liuxiang didn't even dare to look at those girls anymore, and she didn't even dare to think about what the expressions on their faces looked like now.
"The most feared thing for a lover is loneliness, and I understand that. Bai Yunsheng said: "That's why I invited them to accompany Xiangshuai to a place to meet someone." ”
"Who are you going to meet?"
"It's a person that Xiang Shuai wants to see the most but can't see. ”
"Shi Tianwang?" Chu Liuxiang almost jumped up: "Are you talking about Shi Tianwang?"
"Do you know where he is?"
Bai Yunsheng smiled and nodded, "Although that place is far away, now I can see that Xiang Shuai will never be lonely along the way." ”
Whether it is love, Panpan, Gillian, Jin Niang, Chu Qing, Da Qiao, or Xiaoyu, they are all very lovely women, they have all had an extraordinary encounter with Chu Liuxiang, and they have all spent a very good time with Chu Liuxiang, which is unforgettable.
No matter which one of them is, no matter when and where they meet Chu Liuxiang, they will all be as gentle and considerate to him as before.
The situation is completely different now.
Now if someone treats Chu Liuxiang better, other girls will definitely look at her with white eyes, thinking that she is flattering and being favored, and she herself will feel very shameless.
They are not the kind of lowly willow wallflowers, how can they do such a shameful thing?
Chu Liuxiang is very aware of this situation, definitely much more than most people in the world.
So he never hoped that they would give him a good look, let alone that they would throw themselves into his arms and ask for warmth.
- The three monks had no water to drink. There are a lot of things in this world that are like this.
Of course, Chu Liuxiang also knows this very well.
As long as they didn't band together to deal with him, he was already thankful.
- Will they do that?
Seeing the expressions on the faces of these big girls and young ladies, he was really a little frightened.
He had always known their tempers well, and he would not be surprised by what they did.
So he had no choice but to slip away, sneak to the back, find an empty cabin, squeeze into it, squeeze into the quilt and sleep with his head covered.
Either way, it's good to be able to avoid the limelight for a while, and wait until their anger passes.
This is where Chu Liuxiang is smart.
What's even more remarkable is that he actually fell asleep.
When I woke up, I didn't know what time it was, there was no sound outside the cabin, and I didn't know where I had been.
How could those ladies not even make a sound? What are they doing now? Are they deliberating against him?
Chu Liuxiang sighed, and suddenly felt that men should indeed behave a little bit, if they met a gentle, beautiful and amorous girl, even if they couldn't kick her out, they should rush out of the door, jump over the wall, and run away.
Of course, this is the first time in his life that he has such thoughts, but I don't know if it is the last time in his life.
Just as he was sitting on the bed touching his nose, the sound of someone pouring water from a large pot suddenly came from the next room.
Chu Liuxiang's whole body was itchy.
He hadn't showered for at least two or three days, and how nice was it to be able to sit in a big basin of bath water?
It's a pity that he hasn't forgotten that this is a boat, and although the boat is on the water, the water on the boat is more precious than anywhere else.
Besides, how could those ladies prepare bath water for him now? He couldn't even think about it.
Strangely, the bath water had already been prepared for him.
The door of the cabin suddenly opened, and he saw the large basin of bath water. There are no people, only bath water.
There was not only bath water, but also a change of clothes, neatly folded and placed on a chair.
The clothes were brand new, fat and thin, and the length and size were just right, as if they were custom-made according to his figure.
The gardenia cream used in the bath is his favorite one.
- Who prepared this for him?
Although they all know his figure and his preferences, who else among them is so considerate to him?
Could this be their strategy against him, to deliberately treat him a little better, to make him feel ashamed?
After taking a shower and changing into a new clothes that were soft and fitting, his mind changed again.
They should have been kind to him, a man like him would not have guarded a woman for the rest of his life, they should have understood this.
Now they've probably figured it all out.
Thinking of this, our Chu Xiangshuai immediately felt happy again, and happily walked out of the cabin.
It was a sunny and sunny day outside, and from the window, you could see the riverbank miles away.
There was no one in the cabin, and none of the ladies were there.
Chu Liuxiang was wondering, and saw a boat sailing from the center of the river to the riverbank.
Seeing this boat, Chu Liuxiang's heart sank again.
Qingqing, Panpan, Gillian, Jin Niang, Chu Qing, Da Qiao, and Xiaoyu were all in that boat, looking at him with a very strange look and waving goodbye to him.
Looking at the sky from afar, it seems that you can already see the junction of the sea and the sky, and the river is flowing more rapidly.
The river boat goes down the river, pouring thousands of miles, and those who are close at hand may be far away in an instant.
Why did they leave? Were they forced to go, or were they leaving him on their own?
-- There is no need to answer this question now, because a few snow-white shadows have appeared in the turbid yellow water, and they swim like fish, beautiful and lively like a girl.
Is it a fish like a beauty, or is it a beauty like a fish?
Fish don't get on the boat, people do.
The clothes they wore were still the same as the last time Chu Liuxiang saw them, at most they were just a little more than fish, but their attitude towards Chu Liuxiang had changed a lot.
Their attitude became very respectful and polite, and they seemed to keep a special distance from him.
It seems that this situation has never happened to Chu Liuxiang.
Chu Liuxiang smiled bitterly, "What do you want to do this time? Do you want to eat people, or do you want people to eat you?"
Looking at their appearance, it was really a bit like he was afraid that Chu Liuxiang would eat them one by one like fish.
It's unbearable.
The most unbearable thing is that they actually smiled and said, "If Xiang Shuai really wants to eat us, then please eat Xiang Shuai as much as possible." ”
"Really?" Chu Liuxiang deliberately made a very vicious appearance, "I can really eat as much as I can?"
"Of course it's true," said the long-legged girl, "no matter who Xiang Shuai wants to eat." You can pick one and eat it. Her legs look firmer, shinier and more elastic in the sun, "Xiang Shuai can eat whoever she wants, she can eat wherever she wants, and Xiang Shuai can eat whatever she wants." ”
Every one of them looks delicious, and every place looks delicious.
Especially in such bright sunlight.
But Chu Liuxiang didn't seem to dare to look at them anymore.
They are not fish, they are people, they are so young, so healthy, so full of vitality.
So Chu Liuxiang couldn't figure it out, "When did you become so obedient?"
"When the second general asked us to come this time, he told us to listen to Xiang Shuai, no matter what Xiang Shuai wanted us to do. The big-eyed girl said, "That's why we're afraid." ”
"Afraid?" Chu Liuxiang asked, "What are you afraid of?"
"I'm afraid that Xiangshuai will really eat us. ”
The poor girl showed a pitiful look again: "I'm especially scared, I'm scared to death." ”
"Why?"
"Because I know that if Xiang Shuai wants to pick someone to eat, I must be the first to be picked. ”
Chu Liuxiang didn't eat her, not because she wasn't tasty, nor because he didn't want to eat it.
Chu Liuxiang didn't eat her, but because there was a sudden sound of war drums on the sea outside the mouth of the river, as if thousands of war horses were galloping on the waves.
Of course, it wasn't a horse, it was a boat, a tower-like warship.
The sea and sky are vast, cloudless, and Chu Liuxiang has already seen its hazy shadow.
The mermaids immediately cheered with joy: "The second general is here!"
"Who is this second general? Who is this general? Why do you want to come to me? If he is Shi Tianwang's general, you should also be regarded as Shi Tianwang's subordinate, then why don't you let Hu Tiehua escort the princess to Shi Tianwang? Isn't your second general not in favor of this family business?"
No one answered these questions.
The mouths of the four girls seemed to be suddenly gagged with a big piece of mud, and they couldn't even breathe anymore.
The warship had broken through the waves, and in the distance you could see the figures on the deck rushing in a very neat row.
The flag on the ship is clear, the military appearance is magnificent, and it is obvious that everyone is a sea warrior who has been able to fight well in the wind and waves.
The only strange thing is that none of these fighters are men.
The fishing boats and merchant ships near Haikou did not know where to hide, and there was not even a shadow of a person on the riverbank.
A rope ladder was lowered on the warship, and Chu Liuxiang boarded it step by step.
As soon as his eyes peeked out of the deck, he saw a pair of tanned legs.
The legs are close together, the legs are side by side, and there is hardly a gap in between.
Every pair of legs is so strong and so fit, Chu Liuxiang has never seen so many pairs of women's legs in her life.
On top of the solid and curvy calves are round thighs, and on top of them is a glittering silver battle skirt.
The dress is short. The dress is open to make it easier for their legs to move during battle.
Chu Liuxiang didn't look up anymore, because he didn't want others to see him fall into the sea all at once.
The ships have gone to sea again.
The sailors who took the helm and sailed and operated every operation were also women, and Chu Liuxiang suddenly discovered that the only man on this boat was himself......
No one looked at him, and no one paid any attention to him.
The sailors were attentive to their work, and the warriors stood there like stone statues.
Chu Xiangshuai, who "rode a horse and leaned on the bridge, full of red sleeves", became like a waste when he arrived on this boat, but these women seemed to be blind and didn't even look at him.
Of course, none of them are blind, and Chu Liuxiang doesn't believe that they really can't see it.
He deliberately walked over and walked past them, trying not to touch their erect breasts, but he was close enough to them.
I didn't think they even blinked their eyes.
Chu Liuxiang gradually began to admire this second general a little, it is by no means easy to train so many women like this, and it is by no means something that any man can do.
Now, of course, he already knew that the second general must also be a woman.
- Only a woman can train a woman to be so obedient, and only a woman knows how to train a woman.
Chu Liuxiang not only didn't dare to think about this method, but even if he did, he couldn't think of it.
-- What kind of person is this second general?
楚留香也想不出来。
He didn't have to think about it anymore. Because at this time, a woman with a pockmarked face was already asking him, "What is your surname, what is your name, what is your name, where is your person, where did you come from, and do you have any hidden swords and weapons on your body?"
Chu Liuxiang smiled.
He really didn't want to laugh, and he couldn't laugh, but he couldn't help laughing. Because he had never encountered such a thing in his life, and he could never have imagined that he would encounter such a thing.
Who would have thought that someone in this world would dare to speak like this to Chu Liuxiang.
What's even more unexpected is that he actually answered honestly: "My surname is Chu, my name is Chu Liuxiang, I am a descendant of the Yellow Emperor, and I have never done anything sneaky, so I have neither a collection of swords nor a hidden weapon on my body."
"Then you put your hands up. ”
"Why?"
"Because I'm going to search for you. ”
Chu Liuxiang smiled again, and asked this person in a very gentle attitude, "When you want to search for others, have you ever thought that others might want to search for you too?" It's just that the method used may be a little different from yours. ”
"You dare?" the woman's face changed, "You dare to touch me?"
Chu Liuxiang looked at her face and sighed, "I don't dare, I really don't dare." He sighed and said, "So I have to use another way." ”
After saying this, one of this Ren sister's feet had been lifted upside down by him, and she shook twice in the air, shaking the bits and pieces on her body all over the ground.
Then I heard a "pop" and a man was thrown into the sea.
In the myths and legends of any country, the color of hell is red, because there is an eternal flame burning there all year round.
Here too.
There were no burning flames, and all sides were red, like the colors of hell.
This is not hell, here is the general's cabin.
Scarlet Persian carpets are laid up three long steps, and floor-to-ceiling curtains made of fuchsia velvet hang from the windows.
The general's robes were also scarlet, and every inch of his robes seemed to be stained with the new blood of the enemy.
Two men stood behind the general with swords.
A wrinkled old woman with hair as black as a maiden's, and a young woman with beautiful eyebrows and white hair on her temples.
There was only one thing in the cabin that was pure black, and the whole body was black, and it was shiny black.
Chu Liuxiang walked into the cabin, and the first thing he saw was this black panther.
The panther crouched at the general's feet, as quiet as a freshly fed cat.
The two swords behind the general were already unsheathed, breaking through the air like a horse, and stabbing Chu Liuxiang into the eyes.
Chu Liuxiang's eyes didn't even blink.
The blade was only three inches away from his eyebrows at most, but he didn't even blink an eye.
The general glared at him with a very strange look, and suddenly asked, "Do you see that their sword will not blind you?"
"I can see that. Chu Liuxiang said, "They are all masters, and they naturally have a sense of proportion in their hands." ”
"How do you know they won't stab you?"
Chu Liuxiang smiled: "Because I am a guest you invited, if the guest's eyes are blind, the host will also feel bored, especially a host like you." ”
"How about a master like me?"
"Although the general's power is heavy, after all, it is not as beautiful as the general, and if you face an invisible blind man, it is not very boring. He wasn't lying, he wasn't trying to please people, and he didn't think she was a beauty when he first saw her.
She's too tall and too wild.
Her shoulders were too wide, even wider than many men.
Her eyes always had a beastly wild color, and the contours of her lips, though beautiful, were too large.
Except for those snow-white teeth, there is hardly any place in her body that can come close to the standard of beauty.
But she was indeed a beauty, and her whole body was filled with a breathtaking wild beauty. It's so beautiful that you can't even breathe.
Compared to her, the other beautiful women are like porcelain dolls that will shatter at the touch of a button. "I knew you had to be a woman, but I never thought you would be such a woman. ”
The general stared at him again for a long time. He sighed softly, "You're so bold. ”
With a flick of her fingers, the two swords were immediately sheathed at the same time, and the man retreated.
"It's because I know you're bold enough that I came to you. She spoke very directly, "I'm sure you'd have the guts to kill someone for me." ”
"It depends on who you want me to kill. ”
"Of course, it is not easy to kill that person, no matter where she is, there will be more than thirty first-level masters nearby to protect her. ”
"Who sent her to protect her?"
"Mr. Du and Shi Tianwang. ”
She said the names of these two people without thinking about it, and even Chu Liuxiang couldn't help but admit that she was indeed a very happy person.
Chu Liuxiang has always been very happy with happy people.
"Do you want me to kill this person because you're afraid that she will take away your favor?"
"Yes. She said, "Now Shi Tianwang's favorite person is me, and he even named me General Leopard Ji, if she comes, what am I?"
"If Shi Tianwang really likes you, why should he marry her?"
"Because she's a princess, I'm not. She said, now I am Shi Tianwang's concubine, and I used to be, I was born as if I only had the life of being someone else's little wife. ”
Chu Liuxiang smiled bitterly.
A woman can tell others this kind of thing so happily, and he has never seen such a woman. ”
"The man I used to talk to was a rich and powerful old Oriental man, and he was also a master of kendo. ”
"Ishida Saihiko Saemon?"
"That's him. She didn't hide it, "Although he is not bad, he is still far worse than Shi Tianwang." ”
"So you don't want to lose Shi Tianwang's favor. ”
"So I must not let that princess marry Shi Tianwang, and kill her no matter what. ”
"Why would you want me to do such a thing?"
"Because the commander who is responsible for escorting her this time is Hu Tiehua, and Hu Tiehua's most trusted friend is you. Leopard Ji said, "To kill Jade Sword, no one has a better chance than you." ”
"Why would I do such a thing?"
"For me. ”
After saying this, she didn't say another Yu, and she didn't need to say any more.
She had stolen, her scarlet robe slipping off her shoulders.
At this moment, Chu Liuxiang's breathing almost stopped.
He had never seen such a woman, nor had he ever seen such a carcass, and in his life, there had never been a woman who could provoke his lust in such a brief moment.
In her tall but curvaceous bronze body, there seemed to be an endless amount of lust in every place, ready to explode and destroy people at any moment.
As long as a normal man touches her, no matter where he touches her, he will become unable to control himself, and even prefer to destroy himself.
Leopard Ji looks at him with a pair of wild eyes, and her attitude is full of teasing and confidence.
Because she has yet to meet a man who can refuse her.
Chu Liuxiang let out a long sigh: "Now I understand why Ishida Qi did those things. ”
He sighed, "Because with a woman like you, no matter what you do, it's worth it." ”
"What about you?"
"I want to, too, so badly. ”
Chu Liuxiang's eyes were also staring at her, "If I were ten years younger, I would have pounced like a hungry wolf, and I would tell you that I would definitely do that for you, first linger with you for three or five days, and then there will be no news, even if you hate me to death, you want to cut off my flesh to feed the dogs, but you will never find me again." ”
He said seriously, "I would have done this before, but now my skin is not so thick." Chu Liuxiang sighed again, "So now I only ask you to do one thing for me." ”
"What's the matter?"
"Put on your clothes first, and then let the leopard at your feet bite me to death." Chu Liuxiang said, "If it can't bite me, you might as well ask those two female swordsmen to stab me in the eyes again." He said lightly, "Anyway, you might as well try whatever the method." The black panther was still lying at her feet, but the leopard Ji still stared at Chu Liuxiang with those wild eyes, and suddenly said, "I know you often like to say two words to others. ”
"再见."
Chapter 12: Chu Liuxiang's Secret
The river boat that Chu Liuxiang took was still there, just like a little beetle whose feet were tied with silk threads by a child, and was dragged behind by this warship with a long rope.
The golden waves on the sea are shining, and there are already colorful clouds on the sky.
It was the long-legged little girl who kept sending Chu Liuxiang to the deck.
Chu Liuxiang couldn't help but ask her, "Are your generals really willing to let me go like this?"
"Of course it's true. ”
The long-legged little girl pursed her lips and smiled: "She doesn't want that leopard to bite you to death, nor does she want it to be bitten to death by you, so why do you want to be kept?"
Chu Liuxiang looked at Jin Bo on the sea for a long time, and actually sighed: "She is really a happy woman." ”
"That's how she is, not only happy, but also generous, as long as it is a guest she invites, she never returns empty-handed. ”
"Did she have any other gifts for me to take away?"
"Not only is she ready, but she's got three, but you can only choose one. ”
"Which three?"
"The first is jadeite and pearls worth hundreds of thousands. ”
"She's so generous. ”
"The second is enough Persian wine and dried chicken for half a month, as well as a large bucket of water. ”
Chu Liuxiang looked at the endless sea, and couldn't help but sigh, "She thought so thoughtfully." ”
The warship went to sea far away. This kind of gift is undoubtedly what he needs the most, and he can no longer choose anything else, but he still can't help but ask, "What is the third gift?"
"It's a man who is dying, almost dead. ”
Chu Liuxiang smiled bitterly.
He really didn't expect that the happy woman would give him such an unhappy choice.
Now the three gifts have been brought out, the pearls are dazzling, and the people with wine and food are really dying.
This dying man turned out to be the pretentious Bai Yunsheng.
The long-legged girl suddenly lowered her voice and whispered to Chu Liuxiang, "The general knows that you will definitely choose the second one, because you are an extremely smart person." ”
"How?"
But the general said that if you choose jewelry, then you are not only greedy, but also stupid, and even she will be disappointed in you. ”
"What if I choose the third option?"
"Then you're not human, you're a stupid pig. ”
The long-legged girl asked Chu Liuxiang, "Which one do you choose?"
Chu Liuxiang looked at her, and suddenly lowered his voice and said, "Shall I tell you a secret?" He whispered in her ear: "I am not a human being, I am a pig." ”
On the river, this boat can already be regarded as a very magnificent ship, and as soon as it reaches the sea, it will be over, and in the merciless waves, this boat is like a bed bug in the hands of a beggar, which can be crushed at any time.
Of course, Chu Liuxiang understood this, but he didn't even think about it.
Of course, there will be no food and water on board, and as for wine, let alone talk about it, and you can't die without wine, but without water, no one can live for seven days.
Chu Liuxiang will not be unaware of this, and they all prefer to act as if they don't know at all.
Why bother thinking about things that are useless?
Why do you need to know things that will cause you pain and trouble?
No matter how dangerous and harsh the environment is, he thinks about things that can make him feel happy, can lift his spirits, and can make him feel that life is still full of hope.
So he's alive, and he's always been much happier than anyone else.
Bai Yunsheng's face was originally pale, but now it is even whiter and terrifying, as if he has been poisoned by some strange poison, and as if he has suffered some kind of extremely powerful internal injury, so sometimes he is faint, sometimes he is awake.
This time when he was sober, Chu Liuxiang was laughing, as if he remembered something that could make him feel happy.
Bai Yunsheng's energy couldn't make him say a lot, but he still couldn't help but say, "You look like you're happy." ”
"It seems like yes. ”
"I can't figure it out, what else could make you so happy right now?"
"At least we're alive now. ”
For Chu Liuxiang, being alive is already a very happy thing, but for Bai Yunsheng, it is different.
"Although we are still alive, we are only waiting for death, what is there to be happy about?"
In every respect, these two people are in no way the same person, and they can be said to be completely opposite.
The strange thing is that between these two people, there seems to be a very strange similarity, which can also be said to be a strange tacit understanding.
Bai Yunsheng never asked Chu Liuxiang: "Why didn't you choose the food and water you need, but saved me?"
Because this kind of thing doesn't need to be explained, and it can't be explained.
Chu Liuxiang also never asked Bai Yunsheng: "You and Leopard Ji are both Shi Tianwang's people, why would she use this method to you?"
Because although this kind of thing can be explained, there are too many ways to explain it.
Princess Jade Sword is probably the main key. - One wants to protect her, the other wants to kill her, the other wants to fulfill her marriage to Shi Tianwang, and the other is not willing to die.
Leopard Ji wants to put Bai Yun to death, of course, it is logical.
In any case, now these two extremely different people have been arranged together under an incredible arrangement.
If he dies, the other person must die.
If he lives, the other person must live. ”
It was getting dark, and no one knew if they would live until sunrise tomorrow, or what would happen tomorrow.
There are probably very few people in this world who associate deserts with oceans.
The ocean is vivid, magnificent, beautiful, full of vitality, cheerful and enthusiastic.
There are many people who love the ocean as much as they love life.
What about the desert?
No one will like the desert, and no one who has been to the desert, no one will want to go a second time.
But if one really understands the ocean and the desert in the same way, one will find that there are many similarities between these two seemingly very different places.
They are all equally unforgiving, all equally insignificant and humble to human beings, and equally full of changes that are utterly intolerable to humanity, in which human life immediately becomes as fragile as an eggshell under a hammer.
In a way, the sea is even more violent and cold than the desert, and it carries a kind of merciless ridicule of humanity.
- Although the water is turquoise and lovely, more people die of thirst at sea than on the desert. If a person lacks drinking water, whether in the desert or at sea, there is only one thing he can do, wait, wait for death.
This time Chu Liuxiang didn't die, wasn't it because of a miracle.
Miracles are rare.
This time he didn't die, but because someone saved him.
A person that no one could have imagined.
A few months later, on a windy and warm spring evening, on a hillside full of oleanders and rhododendrons, Hu Tiehua suddenly thought of this, so he asked Chu Liuxiang, "Why didn't you die that time?"
"Because someone saved me. ”
"Who is going to save you in that kind of place at that time?", "You never think of it." Chu Liuxiang smiled mysteriously. "I couldn't even think of it myself. ”
"Who is that person?" Hu Tiehua was a little anxious. "You must not ask me to guess again this time, I have been guessing for three months and have not guessed, do you really want to kill me alive?"
"Okay, I'll tell you this time. Chu Liuxiang said, "The person who saved me that time was the pockmark who was going to be searched." ”
Hu Tiehua was stunned.
"She saved you, how could she save you?" Hu Tiehua not only couldn't figure it out, but also couldn't believe it.
Chu Liuxiang said lightly: "This matter is actually very simple. He told Hu Tiehua, "She saved me only because I threw her into the sea." ”
The more Hu Tiehua listened, the more confused she became, but the more Chu Liuxiang spoke, the more proud she became.
"If she wants to search me, of course I will search her, but I really don't have any interest in touching her kind of woman, so I used a very special method. ”
"What's the method?"
"I lifted her feet first and shook everything out of her. ”
"And then?"
"Then I just fished and touched a few of the more special things. One of them was a round iron barrel like a sleeve arrow. ”
"This cylinder saved you?"
"Yes. ”
"How can a small cylinder save people from the sea?"
"Other cylinders can't, but this one can. ”
"What the hell is this cylinder?"
"It's not a ghostly thing, it's just a flag rocket. ”
"When Bai Yunsheng saw me take out that cylinder, the expression on his face was even happier than when you saw 1,200 jars of aged wine. ”
He said, "If a person can see that look on the face of his friend, it is enough to see it once in a lifetime." Hu Tiehua kept sighing: "I know that you have always had good luck, but I still didn't expect your luck to be so good." ”
"It's not luck. ”
"It's not luck, did you already know that the cylinder was a signal for Shi Tianwang's subordinates to call for help when they were in distress?"
"I don't know. ”
"So it's not luck, what's it?"
"It's just a little bit of wisdom, a little bit of caution, a little bit of mindfulness, plus a little bit of skill and skill. ”
Chu Liuxiang touched her nose, blinked and smiled: "In addition, there are other things that are of course indispensable." ”
"What's that?"
"Luck, of course. Chu Liuxiang raised her face again and said seriously: "Is there anything else besides luck?"
Just when Hu Tiehua was almost so angry that he squirted out the sip of wine he had just drunk from his nose, Chu Liuxiang began to continue to talk about his adventure.
"Soon after we released the signal, a group of fishing boats came and rescued us to an isolated island, where there was only one fishing village, and the inhabitants were fishermen, and it looked like any other fisherman's village. ”
Chu Liuxiang had that mysterious expression on her face again: "But I met a few strange people in that fishing village, and I never imagined that I would meet them in that kind of place." ”
"Who are they?"
"Hu Kaishu, Situ Ping, Jin Zhenjia and Li Dun. ”
Hu Qiuhua was also taken aback: "What are these big heroes and heroes doing in that small fishing village?"
This time, Hu Tiehua seemed to suddenly become smarter: "Could it be that that fishing village is one of Shi Tianwang's bases on the sea, could it be that those heroes are all there for Shi Tianwang?"
Chu Liuxiang sighed: "A smart person like you, why do people insist on calling you stupid?"
Hu Tiehua also sighed, "I've always looked down on that Hu Daxia, I didn't expect him to be a real character, and he actually had the courage to go to Shi Tianwang." ”
"Do you know why he went to find Shi Tianwang?"
"Didn't he go to King Shi Tian desperately?"
"It's hard to fight, but it's a pity that it's not his own life. Chu Liuxiang smiled bitterly: "He went to find Shi Tianwang, but he just asked Shi Tianwang to fight for a few people's lives for him." ”
"Did he bring a big gift?"
"Of course, it must be indispensable. ”
"I'm not surprised at all, I'm really not surprised at all, I've seen a lot of heroes like this a long time ago. Hu Tiehua smiled: "I think the expression on his face must have been very interesting when he saw you." ”
Chu Liuxiang sighed, "To be honest, I don't want to see that expression a second time." ”
"The most important question is whether Shi Tianwang went to that fishing village that time?"
Of course he went. ”
"Have you seen him?"
"I'm not blind, how can I not see?"
"What kind of man is he?"
Chu Liuxiang thought about this question for a long time before she could answer it.
"I don't know what kind of person he is, I can only tell you that the moment I really saw him, I understood why others said he couldn't be killed. ”
"Why?"
"Because he's not a person at all. ”
When Chu Liuxiang saw Shi Tianwang for the first time, it was a very good morning.
Of course, Shi Tianwang came by boat, but it was not the kind of warship giant ship that Chu Liuxiang imagined, but a very ordinary fishing boat, and it even looked a little dilapidated.
That morning, the weather was clear, and Chu Liuxiang could see the fishing boat coming from a distance.
The boat itself didn't look anything special, but it was much faster than anyone had ever seen.
There were seven people on board.
All seven of them were dressed in ordinary fishermen's clothes, with their shirts open, barefoot, and all of them were tall and strong.
As soon as the fishing boat landed, they jumped out of the boat and walked barechested onto the beach, each of them moving vigorously and vigorously.
At that time, Chu Liuxiang didn't expect that one of these seven people was Shi Tianwang of Weizhen Qihai.
In his mind, Shi Tianwang shouldn't be like this.
In his mind, Shi Tianwang should wear a golden crown and golden armor, protect him like a cloud, and be dignified.
But Bai Yunsheng told him, "Dashuai is here." ”
"Big handsome?" Chu Liuxiang didn't understand, "Which big handsome?"
"There's only one big handsome here. ”
Chu Liuxiang was taken aback: "The handsome man you are talking about is Shi Tianwang?"
"Yes. ”
But until that moment, Chu Liuxiang still couldn't tell which of these seven people was Shi Tianwang.
Because these seven people are dressed almost identically, from a distance, there is almost no difference at all.
They strode out onto the beach, each dragging a net full of the bounty they had brought from the sea.
It seems that they are all skilled fishermen, and they are just skilled fishermen, at most they are a little stronger and more powerful than the other fishermen.
But the fishermen of the island were already cheering at the sight of them, smiling and waving, and in the midst of the cheers they walked into a large house made of wooden planks, leaving a trail of footprints on the beach.
Chu Liuxiang immediately discovered another strange thing.
The footprints left by these seven people look like the footprints of one person.
Seven people walked in a row, and when each person stepped on it, they all happened to step on the footprints left by the person in front of them, and the distance between each footprint was exactly the same.
At that moment, Chu Liuxiang already knew what a terrible opponent his opponent was.
But what really shocked Chu Liuxiang was when he was invited into that big house to face Shi Tianwang.
No one had ever shocked Chu Liuxiang so much.
He once faced the invincible swordsman Xue Yiren's sharp weapon, and he once faced the ghostly and unpredictable Shi Guanyin.
He also once fought a decisive battle with Yin Ji, a jellyfish who is regarded as sacred in the martial arts of the world, in the Shenshui Palace.
In his life, he had experienced countless battles of life and death in a moment, but he had never been so shocked.
Chapter 13: The Elusive
The wooden houses are tall and spacious, with plenty of light and bright light, and the windows are often open, so that you can see the sun-lit ocean as soon as you look up.
The sea breeze was warm and humid, and a few shirtless children were playing with shells on the beach, their skin tanned like their father's.
There are two young people on the beach tidying up the fishing boats, and several young daughters-in-law and old ladies get together to chat about family life and mend fishing nets.
The small fishing village is full of peace and tranquility, and no one could have imagined that on this day, in this wooden house, everything that happened was enough to shake the martial arts.
When Chu Liuxiang stepped on the soft sand and walked into this wooden house from the sun, it was perhaps the most shocking and disappointing time in his life.
He never believed that there really was anything in this world that human beings could not do, nor did he believe that there were people in the world who could never be defeated.
Now he believes.
Because Shi Tianwang is not a person at all.
Shi Tianwang is seven people,
The seven people who walked from the fishing boat to the beach just now were not only dressed exactly the same, but also had exactly the same looks, looks and figures.
Each of these seven people could be Shi Tianwang, but no one could tell which one was real.
Just like the dragon mound in Qin Shili, Shi Tianwang also prepared six incarnations outside his body for himself.
If you can't tell who the real Shi Tianwang is, how can you kill him in an instant?
If you can't take advantage of this moment, then you'll never have a chance.
The four martial arts celebrities who came to this fishing village before Chu Liuxiang are also in this wooden house at this moment.
The first person Shi Tianwang met was a middle-aged man with broad shoulders and thick chests, a red complexion, and a very strong appearance. Obviously, he helps the golden bell cover iron shirt and the like to practice kung fu, and he practices very well. The whole person looks like an iron shield.
"You are Li Dun?"
"Yes, I am. ”
His attitude is full of confidence in calmness, and his outer kung fu and foreign palm power have almost never encountered opponents in the Guanzhong area, so although he is facing Shi Tianwang in the world of Weizhen at this moment, he still maintains his dignity.
"One of my darts was robbed in General Shi's territory. Li Dun said: "I came this time to ask General Shi to give me justice." ”
"Do you want me to give you justice?" the Shi Tianwang leaned against the wall and asked lightly, "What can you give me?"
"I, Li Dun, have always had no long things, only one person has one life. ”
He carried a knife. If you don't need to pull it out, you can see that it is a fast knife cast by a famous artist.
The people Shi Tianwang is willing to meet can not only bring knives, but also any kind of weapons.
No matter what kind of person he carried, no matter what kind of weapon he carried, Shi Tianwang didn't care.
Li Dun suddenly pulled out a knife, tore open his shirt, and slashed his chest with a backhand.
He did use his strength with this knife, but the blade of the tax only left a faint white mark on his chest.
"Very good, your kung fu practice in the Thirteenth Taibao is indeed very good. ”
The Shi Tianwang sat on a large wooden chair.
"It's a pity that I don't want this man, and I don't want your life. Shi Tianwang waved his hand, "You are also a good man, I will let you go this time, it is best not to come again next time!"
"I can't go. Li Dun said sharply: "If you can't get back the dart silver, I will never leave." ”
"Do you want me to give you justice?"
Shi Tianwang suddenly sighed: "Then let me ask you, when will you see what justice you have in the rivers and lakes?"
Li Dun roared angrily and swung his knife to rush over, the knife was like thunder, and the sword light was like lightning.
He slashed another Shi Tianwang, who only used two fingers to clamp the knife, and with a "snap" sound, the knife broke.
The broken knife cut lightly, and gently cut along the white mark cut on Li Dun's chest just now, and blood immediately gushed out of his chest like a spring.
"You can't hurt if you cut hard, but I cut it with a light cut. Shi Tianwang said leisurely: "Do you say this is fair?"
"By now you should understand that there is no such thing as absolute justice in the world. Another Shi Tianwang said, "Do you still want justice?"
Li Dun's face was like ashes, and he stepped back step by step, and when he took the fifth step, the remaining half-cut knife in his hand had pierced his own heart.
Jin Zhenjia walked alive.
"Take the gift you brought, and you can do what you ask me to do. Shi Tianwang said, "Although your eldest brother Jin Zhentian is my old friend, he has always looked down on me in his heart, and I also know that I am very happy that you are willing to come to beg me this time." ”
As he said this, the other six Heavenly Kings also showed happy expressions.
The second son of the Jin family, the most prominent martial arts family in southern Fujian, actually begged him, which seemed to make him feel very face-saving.
Shi Tianwang, who is rampant in the seven seas, seems to pay attention to other people's family backgrounds, which is probably why he must marry a princess.
Hu Kaishu immediately saw this.
He is also a son of a family, his father and grandfather are both famous heroes in the rivers and lakes, and his own fame is not small.
"In Xia Hu Kaishu, the ancestor Hu Li's father Hu Xing, who has lived in Youzhou for a long time, prepared a special gift this time and made a special trip to meet General Shi. ”
Shi Tianwang actually laughed.
"I know, you don't need to memorize your family tree, I know everything about you. This Shi Tianwang tiger stood on a short collapse, "I have also seen the gift you brought." ”
"Is General Shi willing to accept it with a face?"
"Of course I'm going to take it. Shi Tianwang laughed, "If someone doesn't accept such a valuable gift, shouldn't that person be spanked." ”
Hu Kaishu also smiled. Shi Tianwang suddenly asked him again.
"Did you see that boat? It's the boat we just came in. ”
"I saw it. ”
"It's a good boat. Shi Tianwang's voice was full of appreciative relief, "I can guarantee that the boat is far better than it looks, not only is it light and fast, but it can withstand strong winds and waves, the water and food on board are also abundant, and I can send you two of the most experienced masters." ”
"Give it to me?" Hu Kaishu already felt a little strange, "Why do you want to give it to me?"
"Do you want to go back to Youzhou alive?"
"Yes. ”
"Then you'll have to go back on that boat......"
"The thing that the marshal promised me?"
"What did I promise you?"
Shi Tianwang sank his face, "I just promised you to give you a face and accept your gift." ”
Hu Kaishu couldn't laugh.
Shi Tianwang laughed again: "Hu Kaishu, what kind of person do you think I am? I would do such an unkind and unrighteous betrayal of my friends for you? I want to do this kind of thing, only for myself, how can I be such a despicable and shameless villain as you?"
Shi Tianwang, who was standing on the short collapse, suddenly shouted like a tiger: "You don't want to get out of here." ”
Hu Kaishu slowly withdrew.
Because he knew that no matter how fast he was, he couldn't be as fast as Shi Tianwang and Bai Yunsheng.
He stepped out into the sunlight from the bloody house. The sun is shining and the water is blue.
The old lady and the little daughter-in-law were still mending the torn clothes and fishing nets of their husbands, brothers and grandchildren, and the barefoot children were still playing with colorful seashells on the beach next to them.
The two young men who were tidying up the fishing boats had slipped away to where and what they were doing.
Shi Tianwang in this house and Bai Yunsheng, who had been guarding Shi Tianwang's side, still stayed in the wooden house, and had no intention of chasing and stopping him.
Hu Kaishu's spirit was lifted again.
As long as you can get on that boat alive, you can go back alive.
It's not that hard.
The boat was still moored in the shallows, and it was only twenty or thirty feet away from him at most.
In this distance, there was no one who could stop him. How could he miss such an opportunity?
The morning tide has long receded, and the sand on the beach has been dried in the sun, and it is already very powerful to step on it.
Hu Kaishu's feet kicked hard, his left foot with his heel, his right foot with his toes, and the two forces were combined; his body had already swept up in the air, and with his light skills, he only needed three or five take-offs and landings to reach the boat.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he swept up, a large area of colorful shells suddenly hit him like a rainstorm.
The shells were struck from the hands of barefoot children, and the sound of the wind breaking through the air was like a sharp arrow from a machine-spring crossbow box.
Hu Kaishu's strength has not yet been exhausted, he is churning in the air, borrowing his strength to make a force, and turning over again.
Just as he turned over, the sky seemed to suddenly darken, as if a dark cloud suddenly covered the sun.
The sky was clear and blue, and where were the dark clouds? What covered the sun in front of him was nothing more than a fishing net.
What a big piece of fishing net.
The fishing nets were scattered from the hands of those old ladies and little daughters-in-law, as if it was really a big dark cloud, and the retreat of Hu Kaishu was already shrouded in this dark cloud.
He no longer had the strength to dodge and parry. The fishing boat that was in sight has become far away.
At that moment, a bolt of lightning flew and pierced the clouds and the nets.
The sky is clear blue, as clear as a wash, how can there be lightning, this lightning is just the sword light of a sword.
What a bright sword light. Good fast sword.
The sword was stabbed out of Situ Ping's hand, and Situ Ping, who had been sitting there quietly.
When he meditated, he was as still as the earth, and as soon as he struck, his sword became as fast as lightning.
No one would have thought that he would suddenly make a move, and neither could Hu Kaishu.
The fishing nets are broken, the trees are pierced, and the fishing boats far away are close in front of you.
But Situ Ping also suddenly appeared in front of him, with a white face, a pair of cold eyes, and a sharp sword.
Life and death are in the breath, what can Hu Kaishu say to him? At most, he can only say one word: "Xie." ”
What's even more unexpected is that he actually said this word wrong, because when he said this word, Situ Ping, who was looking at him with a pair of cold eyes, had pierced his heart with a sword.
Situ Ping sat down again, sitting quietly on the chair he had just sat on, as if nothing had happened.
Unfortunately, no one can deny that something has happened, and it is something that no one can understand or explain.
- He saved Hu Kaishu, why did he assassinate Hu Kaishu under the sword?
"Situ Ping. ”
This Shi Tianwang has always stood like a wooden man in the farthest corner of this wooden house, from this corner, not only can you see every movement of everyone in the room, but also the ocean.
"You are Situ Ping, who is known as the number one master among the swordsmen of the later generation?"
"It can't be counted first, but it can't be considered second. Situ Ping said: "The difference between the first and the second is only a fraction of a moment. ”
"Well said. ”
"I'm not speaking well, I'm telling the truth. ”
"You're here to take refuge in me?"
"It's not you who I take refuge, it's the sea. ”
"The sea is more ruthless than I am. ”
"I know. Si Shouping said, "That's why I did it because I knew." ”
"Why?"
"Because the sea is merciless, the wind and clouds on the sea change rapidly, like a sword. Situ Ping said: "Only at sea can my swordsmanship be refined." ”
"You had a good idea, but you were wrong. ”
Shi Tianwang said lightly: "If a person dies, his swordsmanship will no longer be able to improve.
"I know. ”
"On the sea, whoever disobeys me is a dead man. ”
"I know. ”
"You also know that I want to kill Hu Kaishu, why do you want to save him?"
"He also learned the sword, and I can't see him die at the hands of a woman or a child. Situ Ping said, "I killed him only because he was bound to die, and since he was going to die, it was better to die by my sword." ”
"What about you?" Shi Tianwang asked, "If you want to die, who are you willing to die in?"
Situ Hu looked at him coldly, looked at them, looked at them for a long time, and suddenly smiled: "You are not worthy to ask me this sentence, you are not worthy"
"Why?"
"Because none of you dare to admit that you are Shi Tianwang. ”
Chu Liuxiang was already worried about this stubborn and bold young man.
He believed that no one had ever dared to be so rude in front of Shi Tianwang, "On the sea, those who disobey Shi Tianwang are dead." This statement is not false at all.
Unexpectedly, Shi Tianwang laughed, "Okay, good boy, you really have a kind." I don't have many people like you. ”
Shi Tianwang stared at Situ Ping, "People like you come to join me, if I kill you, what kind of Shi Tianwang am I, and who else is willing to die for me?"
He actually let this young man go and actually took him in.
Chu Liuxiang suddenly felt a little suspicious in her heart.
Is Shi Tianwang such a cruel and ferocious person as the legend?
There is no one in this world who can really understand him, just as no one can tell who has the real Shi Tianwang.
"Chu Xiangshuai. ”
Shi Tianwang suddenly faced Chu Liuxiang with a very polite attitude, and his wording was also very elegant, as if he had become another person.
"Xiang Shuai's talent, the world's best, Xiang Shuai's name, the world hears it, but I don't know what Xiang Shuai has to say?"
"General Shi said it too politely. Chu Liuxiang smiled bitterly: "I should have said something beautiful, but unfortunately I couldn't say it." ”
"Why?"
"Because I didn't have a good intention......
"How?"
"I was here to kill you. Chu Liuxiang sighed: "It's a pity that now I can't help but change my mind." ”
"Why?"
"Because I can't tell who I'm going to kill. Shi Tianwang actually sighed, "I understand what Xiang Shuai means, this is really a headache, I believe there must be many people who are also having the same headache as Xiang Shuai." "General Shi is doing this, isn't it just to give others a headache?"
Shi Tianwang laughed again: "The headache is small, but the killing of the head is big, in order to protect my head, I have to do this." He asked Chu Liuxiang, "I don't know if Xiang Shuai agrees with this?"
"I agree. Chu Liuxiang said: "In your case, no one can say that you are doing something wrong. ”
Shi Tianwang's eyes were blazing, "So what is Xiangshuai going to do now?"
No one knew what Chu Liuxiang should do now, not even Chu Liuxiang herself.
There have been many times when he has been bogged down, and each time he has managed to get out.
But this time was different.
This time he's on a deserted island surrounded by the sea, and this time he doesn't even know who his real opponent is.
Chu Liuxiang began to touch her nose again. "I can rush out first, or I can fight with you. He smiled bitterly: "It's a pity that these methods are not good." ”
"Does Xiang Shuai have any other good ideas?"
"No more. ”
Shi Tianwang smiled: "I have one." ”
"What's the idea?"
"Why don't we ask someone to get dozens of jars of good wine, and drink one first?"
Chu Liuxiang also smiled: "Sounds like a really good idea." ”
So they began to drink, and they kept drinking.
They drank a lot.
When he was not drunk, Chu Liuxiang seemed to hear Shi Tianwang saying to him, "You must drink more, just treat it as drinking my happy wine." ”
At this moment, he suddenly found that Hei Zhugan and Xue Chuanxin were also mixed in these people.
He tried to greet them, but they didn't seem to recognize him anymore.
A little girl he had never seen before was pulling at the corner of his coat and begging him to take care of her family's business.
"Our family not only has rice, noodles and wine, but also big tendon crabs and live fish. ”
She was born with a pitiful look, her little hands almost ripped Chu Liuxiang's clothes up, it seems that her family really needs Chu Liuxiang such a generous guest, Chu Liuxiang can only be pulled away by her and pulled to a snack bar temporarily converted from an ordinary fisherman.
The family really needs someone else to take care of their business. Because although the business of other stalls is booming, this one does not even have a single customer.
Chu Liuxiang sighed, the things made in the shops with bad business are usually not too delicious.
It's a pity that he's already here.
"What fish do you have here? I want one to make soup, one to braised and one to fry with wine. ”
The little girl was shaking her head, we had no fish or wine here. She laughed and said, "I lied to you. ”
The sunset is like fire, the sea is like fire, and the sea seems to be dyed red, and it looks like red wine.
Chu Liuxiang had woken up. Although I woke up not on the willow shore, the scenery on the beach was even more magnificent.
Bai Yunsheng didn't know when he came.
"Are you awake?"
"No matter how drunk a person is, he will wake up. Chu Liuxiang said, "I've been drunk, so I'll wake up." ”
"What about people who aren't drunk?" Bai Yunsheng asked with a smile: "Aren't people who haven't drunk won't wake up?" ”
"Yes. Chu Liuxiang said seriously, "There are indeed many things in this world that are like this. ”
Bai Yunsheng's attitude also became serious: "Yes, it is true. ”
"Is King Shi Tian already gone?" Chu Liuxiang suddenly asked, "Has Princess Jade Sword been sent to him?"
"Yes. Bai Yunsheng said, "Their wedding is just over these two days." ”
Chu Liuxiang looked at the gradually fading Caixia in the distance, and after a long time, he said slowly: "I can't stop Princess Jade Sword, and I can't kill Shi Tianwang, this time, I am a complete failure." He asked Bai Yunsheng, "Do you know that this is still my first failure?"
"I can imagine that. ”
Chu Liuxiang looked at him for a long time, and suddenly smiled again: "Then let me tell you, there is nothing wrong with a person occasionally tasting the ambiguity of failure." ”
"I know. ”
"Do you really know?"
"How can a person who has not been defeated win?" Bai Yunsheng said, "Aren't there many things in this world like this?"
The boat is ready.
"Send you a thousand miles, there will be a farewell, a farewell today, and there will be no time in the future. Bai Yunsheng clasped Chu Liuxiang's hand, "How much do you have to cherish ......"
Chu Liuxiang smiled: "Don't worry, I will never be sad to jump into the sea because I failed once." ”
The place where the fishing boat docked was originally a poor fishing village, but today it is much more lively than usual, the village is full of stalls selling snacks, and the business of each stall is good, although the people who eat are dressed as fishermen, but Chu Liuxiang can see at a glance that at least half of them are not people who make a living from fishing.
There is no doubt that something strange is about to happen here, but Chu Liuxiang is in no mood to care about other people's affairs now.
Chu Liuxiang smiled bitterly.
When a person is unlucky, all kinds of strange things can happen.
In the hanging window of a room behind the shop, a man said with a smile, "You must have been eating fish every day these days, haven't you gotten tired of eating it?"
She asked Chu Liuxiang, "Don't you want to eat a little roast duck, ham, mushrooms, □ chicken?"
Chu Liuxiang was stunned again.
He had heard this man's voice, and he had never forgotten her.
"Mr. Du, is that you?"
The humble hut had been cleaned to the spotless, and Mr. Du had always had a habit of cleanliness.
There is still a bottle of white camellia with eight petals on the wooden table, and Mr. Du's demeanor is still so elegant.
"Xiang Shuai must not have imagined that I would be here. Her smile was like camellia, "But I've always hoped that Xiang Shuai would come." ”
"Actually, I should have thought of it a long time ago, and I should have thought of it when I saw Xue Chuanxin. ”
Of course, the strangers in the forest were all brought by her, and in order to do these people's business, the village will be lively.
"But what is Mr. Du doing here?"
"We're waiting for news. ”
"What's the news?"
Mr. Du dodged this question, but sighed: "It's a pity that Hu Tiehua has already left, and I don't know if I am in a hurry to drink or to find you, as soon as I sent the princess on the boat, I was gone." "The princess has come aboard, and may now be in the arms of King Shi Tian—which one is it?
Chu Liuxiang didn't want to mention these things again, his heart was tingling, and the only thing that made him feel a little comforted was - "Some of the legends of the Jianghu people are not true, and Shi Tianwang is not such a rude, vicious and cruel person as the legend." ”
"How?"
"This is what I have seen with my own eyes, and I can't help but tell you. ”
Mr. Du smiled faintly. "But have you ever thought that this may just be something he deliberately pretended to show you?" her voice was even colder, "He could have killed you, but he let you back, maybe just because he wanted you to say these things for him in front of the Jianghu people." ”
She asked again: "Who else has more friends in the rivers and lakes than Chu Xiangshuai? Who else is more credible than Chu Xiangshuai?"
Mr. Du sneered: "It is really his luck that Shi Tianwang can find someone like Chu Xiangshuai to promote his reputation for him." ”
Chu Liuxiang's heart began to sink, but a cheer rang out in the village outside, like a wave, coming from the other side of the coast.
Mr. Du's eyes also lit up.
The beautiful little girl had already broken in like a bird, panting and saying, "The news has come, the princess has succeeded, and she has already cut off the head of King Shi Tianwang the night before yesterday!"
At this moment, everything suddenly exploded in Chu Liuxiang's heart like fireworks.
- Who can assassinate Shi Tianwang? Who can tell who is the real Shi Tianwang?
Only his wife.
No man would let another man take his place while he was spending candlelight in his cave.
This is the real purpose of why Princess Jade Sword must marry Shi Tianwang.
That's why on the eve of her departure, she dedicated herself to the person she really loved.
The hut by the lake, the moonlight on the lake, the lingering night that will never be forgotten, the person who endured the grief to sacrifice himself for others, the blood-red crescent moon has now disappeared like a meteor.
Chu Liuxiang's heart also exploded like fireworks, but Mr. Du held his hand hard.
"We succeeded, we finally succeeded, and the price we all paid was not in vain. She held Chu Liuxiang tightly, "I know you must have thought that you had completely failed this time, but this time you were not defeated, it was Shi Tianwang who was defeated." ”
Chu Liuxiang looked at her coldly, coldly, coldly for a long time, before saying in a voice that was almost completely emotionless: "Yes." ”——
