Hidden Blade Chapter 167: Beggar

The spring breeze is gone, and the sun is scorching for ten miles.

The Henghuangcheng in May finally ushered in a hot summer day, and the big blazing sun seemed to shed a scorching light, so that the entire Henghuangcheng was enveloped in a piece of not so hot, but it was so boring. In the chaotic summer scene.

Vendors are very alert. From iced sweet wine to iced shrimps and lychees to relieve the heat, things like ice shrimp and lychees are placed in the shops. This is naturally the most popular thing at the moment. They are busy receiving customers and are tired. On the faces of the sweaty merchants there was a smile that was several times sweeter than eating a peach.

Born in the world and walked in the world, although there are many sufferings, it is fortunate to be able to have fun in the sufferings.

It's just that although these vendors are making a lot of money, the big masters in Henghuangcheng are not happy at all.

Not only because of the irritating weather, but also because of the rush from the border to the palace at this hour and hour.

"Is it delicious?" Sitting in the shadow next to the ancient road, Xu Han smiled and looked at the few thin children in front of him.

These children are mostly ragged, and are eating the watermelon Xu Han brought them.

"Meow!"

"Wow!"

The children were eating happily and had no time to respond to Xu Han, but Ou and Xuan'er yelled cheerfully.

"I didn't ask you any questions." Xu Han glanced at the two little guys whose mouths were full of bright red melons, and said in an angry tone.

"Meow!"

"Wow!"

But Ao Wu and Xuan Er have always been inferior in everything, only the word is high. He didn't care about Xu Han's reprimand, and after yelling again, he bowed his head and fought hard with that fruit again.

At this time, the seven or eight skinny children finally got rid of the watermelon in their hands. The flesh of the melon was gnawed clean by them, and they seemed to want to swallow the skin of the melon.

"Hey." The child headed was about to say thank you, but when the words came to his lips, he could not help but belch a full because of eating too quickly. A crimson color appeared on the child's cheeks, which seemed a little embarrassing.

"It's delicious, thank you, son." But after that, he hurriedly stood up and bowed his hands to Xu Han in a nondescript manner.

After saying this, the kid tilted his head and thought about it again, before plucking up the courage to ask again: "By the way, why didn't Sister Zhen come?"

Xu Han's expression suddenly changed, and he fell silent.

And this kind of silence fell in the eyes of the children, who all secretly thought that they had said something wrong, and their faces suddenly became panic.

It's just that Xu Han, who was immersed in his own thoughts, didn't realize this. He still stood there, thinking secretly how to tell them the news.

Fortunately, at this moment, Ye Hongjian, who went to the side to buy roast chicken for these children, just came back. After hearing the children’s problems, she looked at Xu Han, who had a complex expression, and sighed:" Your sister Zhen has gone to other places, and it is estimated that she will not be able to come back in a short time."

This is naturally a lie, but it is not to cover up Xu Han's guilt, but to let these children who are already living in the dark lose their only glimmer of light.

"Really..." Hearing the words, the child showed a little disappointment on his face, but he quickly returned to the original state. He stood up again and made that nondescript salute to Xu Han: "If the son sees sister Zhen again, he must remember to say hello to her for us."

"Yeah." Xu Han also recovered at this moment. He nodded, but he seemed to feel something in the tone of these children suddenly, so he asked in a deep voice.

: "What? Are you leaving Henghuangcheng?"

"Yeah." The headed boy nodded, with a shy smile on his face again, "We want to join the army."

"Join the army?" Xu Han's expression changed. He looked up and down at the seven or eight children in front of him, with a strange look in his eyes. He didn't look down on these children, but the years of being a beggar made them look yellow and thin. Although the older ones were all fourteen or five years old, they looked thinner than some eleven or twelve-year-olds.

You must know that although this army is not demanding, how can he have a cultivation base in the Aquarius Realm, right? Otherwise, going to the battlefield with seven or eight ordinary people is not enough for the opponent to fight alone. What is the point of such an army?

Not to mention these yellow-faced children. They went to the battlefield except to die, Xu Han really couldn't find the slightest purpose.

It’s just that those children didn’t notice Xu Han’s strangeness. The leader explained to Xu Han at that time: “I heard that Cui Guozhu of Longzhou is recruiting troops on a large scale. It seems that as long as he is twelve years old Then we can be recruited into the army. Although we don’t have any abilities, we can manage to eat as much as we can when we go to the barracks, and we can also teach us exercises and practice..."

Speaking of this, the eyes of those children lit up with shining rays of light, like stars in the night sky, no matter how strong the night is, there are always stars stubbornly dividing the night and projecting towards the world. Such a light.

Xu Han was in a daze. He was a little familiar with this kind of light and scenes, and some seemed like a world away.

"This is dangerous. Cui Ting is not a fool...Longzhou is not peaceful." He said in a calm voice, but he felt wrong when he said something. These words are too profound for these children after all. A little bit, the beggars only know that they are looking for something to eat, but how can they understand the situation of Daxia that seems calm but undercurrents?

"No matter how bad it is, I can't be a beggar, Brother Xu, we are beggars, but we don't want to be beggars for a lifetime, we want to try...It's better than now..." The oldest one is still watching Xu Han said in this way, but there was a smile on the corner of his mouth.

Xu Han's eyes were a little different. He looked at these children for a while, and suddenly asked: "What are your names?"

These little beggars naturally did not understand what Xu Han said, but they answered Xu Han’s question at that time: "Luo Bai."

"Money is strong."

"Qian Xiaozhuang."

"Sun Liangzhe."

......

The surnames of the eight children are mostly different, and they want to go together after living on the street.

Xu Han's eyes swept over the eight children~IndoMTL.com~ and finally fell on Luo Bai, the oldest.

There was a smile on his face, and he approached Luo Bai at that time: "Follow me, you can't walk in Longzhou."

When these words were spoken, the eight children's eyes suddenly widened. They looked at Xu Han in an incredible manner, and then looked at each other as if they were making sure whether they had heard something wrong.

Xu Han naturally understood their thoughts and was about to say something more.

"Brother Xu!" But at this moment, an anxious voice suddenly came. Xu Han looked sideways, but Nangong Zhuozheng ran to Xu Han with an anxious expression.

"What's wrong? Brother Nangong." Xu Han couldn't help asking when he saw him in such a hurry.

Nangong Zhuo didn't answer Xu Han's question at the first time, but took a few breaths of air to relieve his energy.

"The big event is not good. Today, Pavilion Master Xiao dropped eight porcelain vases, three wooden chairs, and tore the calligraphy and painting given by His Majesty to pieces. Brother Xu, please follow me back to the house soon. If this goes on, I guess the entire Sword Mansion will have to be demolished for him!"
