Volume 6: Jinguan and Heroes meet for the first time, and Jiangnan's charming girls walk together Volume 6 Chapter 17: Same road
"Something has targeted us." Jiang Xiaoshu whispered.
"Yeah." Sheng Yujin answered briefly, and then he closed his eyes, as if he was feeling something.
"Hey, look at me." With a snort, Jiang Xiaoshu put out the lantern, and the surroundings of the two of them immediately became dark, and they couldn't see their fingers.
Jiang Xiaoshu brought the Langshu Sword to his eyes and slowly pulled it out quietly. The faint moonlight shone on the sword. Jiang Xiaoshu narrowed his eyes slightly and stared at the reflection on the sword before continuing to pull out the long sword.
a bit……
A pair of bright almond eyes appeared on the sword, and the owner of these eyes was hiding seven feet and four feet behind him!
There was no sound of breaking the wind, and the Langshu Sword had pierced through with unparalleled speed - the essence of Tianjue Ghost Path was concealment and attack.
And such a dark night is a good time for monsters and monsters to run rampant!
"Dang!" Jiang Xiaoshu's attack was blocked, his arms felt numb, and he was even more surprised - this secret enemy could even block this attack?
He was surprised in his heart, but without stopping, Jiang Xiaoshu slashed out his sword again, again silently, but the opponent seemed to be able to see things in the dark, and took his move again.
"Ding!" Sparks flew everywhere. Jiang Xiaoshu took the opportunity to look up and saw clearly the appearance of the man in the dark——
Who is this girl with wide almond-shaped eyes and picturesque features if not the Miss Liu I saw in the daytime?
But why did Miss Liu appear here? Even if she was right, this was really Miss Liu, so how could she stop her from attacking with almost all her strength?
When Jiang Xiaoshu was doubtful, Sheng Yujin's voice came from beside him:
"Brother Jiang, stop it, it's Miss Liu."
"You..." Jiang Xiaoshu frowned slightly - Sheng Yujin was still there when he put out the lantern, when did he come here?
With a sound of "chila", Sheng Yujin flashed the fire folder. Jiang Xiaoshu saw Sheng Yujin's Yanling knife raised up, standing between him and Liu Lingwei.
"Did you block it?" Jiang Xiaoshu asked.
Sheng Yujin sheathed the sword and nodded.
"How did you do it?" When extinguishing the lantern, he had to rely on the reflection of the sword to confirm the enemy's position, but Sheng Yujin not only knew the opponent's identity accurately, but was also able to block his own attack. It was really incredible.
"Oh?" Sheng Yujin thought for a while and said:
"As soon as I closed my eyes, I knew it was Miss Liu here. Well... I told you, my intuition is very keen."
Jiang Xiaoshu's face was solemn, and he looked at Sheng Yujin seriously again - why could he not understand this guy who looked so dumbfounded?
Is there any secret hidden in him?
"Hehe, it's such a pity that you still discovered it." A voice like a silver bell sounded, bringing Jiang Xiaoshu out of his thoughts. Liu Lingwei clapped her hands and was very happy:
"You are so awesome. As soon as the lights go out, you are right in front of me."
Little did she know that in the flash of lightning just now, she had already passed through the gate of hell. Jiang Xiaoshu frowned and asked:
"Miss Liu, why are you out on the street if you don't sleep at midnight?"
"Hey, I can only allow you to come out onto the street, but I can't do it?" Liu Lingwei asked back, then she shook her head and read:
"The green mountains remain unchanged, and the green water flows forever... Hee hee, these words are so beautifully written, and the painting is not bad either."
After that, she imitated the little man in the painting, carrying a sword on her right shoulder, and flicking the hair on her forehead with her left hand.
Jiang Xiaoshu and Sheng Yujin looked at each other, and both saw surprise in each other's eyes - Liu Lingwei had followed him when they were in the inn, but they didn't realize it until now.
Jiang Xiaoshu couldn't help but said:
"Miss Liu, you hide your secrets. You are obviously good at martial arts, but you can't tell anyone about it."
"Martial arts? I don't know how to do it," Liu Lingwei was a little confused, and then explained:
"Master Jiang, you walk with two breaths and three steps, and Sheng Yujin takes one step with one breath. I walked at the point where your two steps overlap. Of course you can't hear it... It's a pity that I kicked a stone, and that's when you discovered it. "
It makes sense to say this, but the ability to see the timing of the two of them walking in exactly the same pace is very rare.
"Amazing," Jiang Xiaoshu gave a thumbs up, then became a little confused:
"No, why are you following us?"
Liu Lingwei raised her head without hesitation:
"I want to travel the world with you."
"Nonsense," Jiang Xiaoshu laughed dumbly:
"It's really whimsical. You, a young lady, don't learn embroidery at home, but you want to hang out with us in the world. Do you think traveling in the world is fun?"
"Do you look down on women?" Liu Lingwei was a little dissatisfied and retorted:
"Cui Yu Huang Shi, Master Jiu Nan, Gang Leader Huang of the Beggar Clan, Feng Siniang, Lian Nishang... These people are all women, but all of them were once important figures respected by thousands of people."
Jiang Xiaoshu said helplessly:
"Those are all fictional characters in the book...how can they be confused with reality?"
"No," Liu Lingwei asked back:
"Master Jiang, you have been in the world for many years, have you never seen an outstanding female hero?"
He has not been in the world for "many years", but Jiang Xiaoshu did not refute and replied:
"Well... that's true, but they are highly skilled in martial arts, reliable and sophisticated. But Miss Liu, you are weak, weak, and have no experience. How can you be the same?"
"Yes!" Liu Lingwei was a little excited:
"It's precisely because I don't know martial arts and have no experience in martial arts that I want to follow you. If I learn some martial arts from you and accumulate experience, won't I also be a heroine?"
Seeing that Jiang Xiaoshu was unmoved, Liu Lingwei turned to Sheng Yujin:
"Sheng Yujin, please say something fair."
"An?" Since it had nothing to do with him, the bored Sheng Yujin was squatting by the roadside watching crickets. He didn't expect that Liu Lingwei would come to ask him. He was surprised and muttered:
"Ah, ah...what should I say about this?"
Facing Sheng Yujin, Liu Lingwei didn't say a word and just pulled out a gorgeous beaded hairpin from her head:
"This hairpin is the only one in the Cuihua Building in the capital. I gave it to you two as a meeting gift. Please accept it as a thank you for your help in your future adventures in the world."
After saying that, he stuffed the pearl hairpin into Sheng Yujin's hand without any explanation.
Sheng Yujin picked up the hairpin and asked Jiang Xiaoshu in a low voice:
"Brother Jiang, is this valuable?"
Jiang Xiaoshu took a look:
"Well, the agates, diamonds, and pearls on this unique item from Cuihua Tower are quite common, but the workmanship on this one is quite impressive... I think it's probably worth ten thousand taels of silver..."
"Brother Jiang," Sheng Yujin interrupted Jiang Xiaoshu without waiting for Liu Lingwei's reminder, and then said decisively:
"I think we must take Miss Liu with us."
Liu Lingwei nodded repeatedly:
"Yes, Master Jiang, you see Sheng Yujin has said so, do you still want to reject me?"
Jiang Xiaoshu raised his hand, inserted the hairpin in Yu Jin's hand back into Liu Lingwei's head, and said angrily:
"It doesn't matter what he said..."
"Brother Jiang, you are wrong to say that," Sheng Yujin suddenly spoke fluently:
"As you said, as a hero, it is natural to help others. Since Miss Liu needs something from us, we should help her."
"Yes, yes," Liu Lingwei found recognition and immediately continued:
"Dr. Jiang, these are your own words. Are you actually a person who doesn't keep your word? Are you unwilling to help me?"
"Ah?" Jiang Xiaoshu argued with wide eyes:
"Of course I don't mean to keep my word, but this..."
"Then did you agree, Master Jiang?"
"I……"
Seeing that Jiang Xiaoshu was still hesitating, Liu Lingwei shook her head and sighed:
"Oh, it seems I was completely wrong..."
"What did you see wrong?" Jiang Xiaoshu was a little confused.
"You see, the Condor Hero killed five hundred Tatar soldiers for her little sister, defeated the barbarian prince's poisonous plan, and set off a dazzling fireworks; Xiao Li Tanhua gave her cousin an ancestral mansion
; Hero Linghu also made a fuss in the Shaolin Temple for the holy aunt..." Liu Lingwei recounted the stories of these romantic knights, and then said:
"I always thought that you, Master Jiang, were a strange man like them... Because you are highly skilled in martial arts and charming, and you seem to be cut from the same mold as them..."
These words were very useful to Jiang Xiaoshu. He nodded proudly, but Liu Lingwei suddenly changed the subject:
"But now it seems that it's not the case at all. Everyone says how amazing you are, but you can't even fulfill the little wish of a girl like me. I think it's ordinary...ah yo
, I'm sorry, Mr. Jiang, I offended you with my outspoken words. In fact, I also know that you are afraid that when you encounter danger, you will not be able to protect me well. This is also human nature, and it is understandable..."
The method of stimulating generals. Sheng Yujin remembered a word that he heard in the opera troupe during the Chinese New Year last year.
Brother Jiang will definitely not be fooled by such an obvious plan, but how can that hairpin be so valuable? No, I must persuade him again...
"Stop, stop talking." Unexpectedly, Jiang Xiaoshu drank up Liu Lingwei, then reached out to take off Liu Lingwei's hairpin, stuffed it to Sheng Yujin angrily, and then turned around and left:
"Come with us."
"Really!" Liu Lingwei was surprised and happy.
"Of course it's true," Jiang Xiaoshu turned his head and raised his eyebrows proudly:
"You're not wrong about the person. I am exactly the kind of knight who is anxious for people in danger, loves to fight against injustice, and of course is very dashing... Let me tell you, in the following journey, you will not only be unscathed and learn a lot, but also
I also want to find you a world-famous master to be your master, let’s just wait and see!”
"Thank you, Master Jiang." Liu Lingwei was very excited and followed him excitedly.
"This..." Sheng Yujin originally thought Jiang Xiaoshu was quite clever, but now he began to doubt:
Chapter completed!
