Hidden Blade Chapter 51: Conditions

Chongzhou Prefecture, Jingshengcheng.

This is a place of special significance for Qin Keqing and Xu Han.

It was here that year, Xu Han, who was still in the Temple of Sura, was ordered to assassinate Qin Keqing. The turning point in the fate of the two at that time was also destined to be entangled.

The sun in the early autumn morning dispelled the cold of the long night, and the soldiers patrolling in Jingsheng city kept coming and going.

Since a few days ago, the Great Zhou Dynasty changed its power, and after Chu Emperor Fangyu became the throne in Chang'an City, the Great Zhou Empire, which had ruled the hinterland of the Central Plains for more than two hundred years, collapsed at an almost unbelievable speed.

Last night, the common people fell asleep with the identity of the citizens of Da Zhou, but when they woke up the next day, the holy son Shenghou swarmed into the cities and hung the Profound Banner of Chu characters all over the city. This is no exception in Jingshengcheng.

In the small courtyard of the inn named Laikehuan, Xiao Nineteen was brandishing a wooden knife that he had found from nowhere.

Xuan'er squatted on a branch with yellow leaves, her amber eyes wandering with Xiao Nineteen's knife, seeming a little curious.

Zhou Yuan walked out of the room with a yawn and sleepy eyes. He wore his clothes to the point that he had been carefully groomed, but the most eye-catching was the long white hair that was ripped off in half by the giant ape, which seemed to be to cover up. With this embarrassment, he deliberately combed that half of his hair to the other side a lot, trying to cover the bald side. But the more so, the more he seemed to hide his embarrassment. On the contrary, he looked very funny.

However, Zhou Yuan obviously did not have such consciousness. He walked up to Xiao Jiu and looked at Xiao Jiu who was brandishing a long knife to the point of sweating and said: "What are you doing?"

Xiao Nineteen blinked and said, "Practice the sword."

"Practicing swords? How can there be such a swordsman?" Although Zhou Yuan did not have a high level of cultivation, his knowledge was not uncommon. Xiao Nineteen's so-called practice of swordsmanship is nothing more than cutting, picking, and sweeping. , Chopping such a superficial thing, even Zhou Yuan feels useless.

"Su Mu'an taught me, he said that the sword technique should be practiced like this." Xiao Nineteen said truthfully. Although she had doubts about Su Mu'an's remarks before, she still did not violate Su Mu'an's teachings in the end.

"Do you believe what the kid said?" Zhou Yuan frowned, probably because of what happened yesterday. In Zhou Yuan's heart, Xiao Nineteen seemed to be his own, and he naturally didn't want to see Nineteen suffer.

There was also confusion in the eyes of the nineteenth hearing words. She would practice this method every day as long as she found an opportunity. Although she was still working hard, she did not have much progress as Zhou Yuan said. After all, the child’s temperament was eager for success, so Xiao Nineteen simply put down the knife in his hand, approached Zhou Yuan, squinted and smiled: "Then Master, why don’t you teach Nineteen your best skills that day? After the nineteenth training, you can protect Master from being bullied by others!"

Zhou Yuan has also heard the nineteenth that the nineteenth real master really seems to have the best skills in the world. Of course, it is difficult to study the true and false of Zhou Yuan, but his cultivation base is He couldn't make up such a thing, so he could only cough lightly and said: "Ahem, you are still young, you can't learn this technique, and I will teach it to you when you are older. "

Nineteen didn't doubt him after hearing this, she just nodded reluctantly and said: "Well then."

After saying this, she mentioned her wooden sword again, and she was about to start the so-called knife training again, looking at her posture.

"Is still going to practice?" Zhou Yuan was puzzled when he saw this.

"Otherwise, what can I practice?" Nineteen blinked again, and her pink cheek was filled with puzzles.

Zhou Yuan was a little helpless. In his opinion, the nineteenth move seemed to have no benefit except wasting time. He said: "If you want to practice, you must also practice some great kung fu."

"For example?" Nineteen asked.

This question obviously stopped Zhou Yuan. He rubbed his weird hair and thought for a while and said: "The most powerful people are naturally the most powerful."

Speaking, he winked at the door not far away.

Nineteen was taken aback, but soon came to her senses, and the little girl's pink face suddenly showed a smile.

But such a smile faded in an instant, she said distressedly: "But Uncle Xu is unwilling to teach me. He said this long ago..."

At this moment, Zhou Yuan seems to have completely taken over the role of Master Nineteen. Seeing Nineteen's distress, he was a little uncomfortable. He patted his chest and said: "Give it to Master! I'll do it for you! "

"Really?" Nineteen asked in surprise.

"Of course." Zhou Yuan, who was enjoying the gaze of Nineteen Worship, patted his chest a little forgettingly, and was about to say something.

Squeak.

But at this moment, the direction of the inn door suddenly made a soft noise, and the door was pushed open from inside.

"Meow." Xuan'er, who was standing on the branch, screamed happily when he saw it. With a leap, he jumped straight into the arms of the person who opened the door.

"Uncle Xu!" Seeing that person's appearance, Xiao Nineteen's face also glowed with joy.

When I saw Xu Han yesterday, Xu Han was still suffering from serious injuries. In desperation, the group had no choice but to find an inn in the nearby Jingshengcheng to stay temporarily for one day. At this moment, I saw Xu reappearing. Cold complexion was unharmed, nineteen naturally happy.

Behind Xu Han, Qin Keqing also walked out slowly. She was a disciple on the Xuanhe Peak of Linglong Pavilion before. She was proficient in medicine and did her best to take care of Xu Han. Although in fact, with Xu Han’s body in the fairyland, as long as The vital point is not injured, and it is only a matter of time before the injury recovers. However, if you care, you are confused. Qin Keqing still insists on taking care of Xu Han. Xu Han can't refuse, so she can only let her go.

Xu Han hugged Xuan'er and walked to the nineteenth, nodded and said: "It's okay, don't worry."

"Yeah." Nineteen nodded obediently, and then couldn't help winking at Zhou Yuan beside him.

Zhou Yuan suddenly felt bitter in his heart. He didn't respond to the nineteenth until his forehead was hot for a while, but he knew his identity very well. Xu Han was lucky not to kill him, so how could he sell his face? ?

But after experiencing yesterday's events, Zhou Yuan also figured out some things. He simply gritted his teeth and wanted to say something.

But this time he was interrupted by Xu Han before he could say it.

"Do you want to learn swordsmanship from me?" Xu Han asked straightforwardly. He had already heard the conversation between Nineteen and Zhou Yuan before coming.

Nineteen was taken aback, but then he nodded his head in a hurry.

"Are you going to help her?" Xu Han turned to look at Zhou Yuan again.

Zhou Yuan had an almost instinctive fear of Xu Han. When he faced Xu Han’s gaze, his head involuntarily lowered, but when he caught a glimpse of the expectant gaze from the nineteenth, he still gritted his teeth. Bit the bullet and said: "Yeah."

"Okay." Xu Han nodded, "Then you follow me."

After that, Zhou Yuan was not given any chance to refute at all, turned around and walked into the wing of the inn.

Zhou Yuan glanced at Nineteen, then at the cold-faced Qin Keqing, and finally took a step forward and followed Xu Han into it.

......

Zhou Yuan sat in the door awkwardly. He lowered his head and didn't dare to touch Xu Han's gaze. From the first meeting, this boy gave him an inexplicable but strong A terrible sense of oppression, this hasn't changed much even now.

"I have heard what happened yesterday." Xu Han broke the silence first.

When Zhou Yuan heard the words, his body was shocked, and he had no time to think about how Xu Han never heard about it from the speechless wailing and giant ape. The first thing he thought of at that time was yesterday. Because his move almost put the nineteenth in a dangerous place, Xu Han's move came to Xingshi to inquire about the crime.

Zhou Yuan has always cherished his life, and now it is like being in an ice cellar, and his heart is chilling.

But what Xu Han said next was far beyond Zhou Yuan's expectations.

Xu Han asked in a calm tone: "You know what's in Chang'an and what will happen in the Southern Wilderness, so you just wanted to leave, so why do you want to save nineteen?"

Zhou Yuan was stunned. After a while, he returned to his senses. He subconsciously raised his head and glanced at Xu Han, but when he met the young man if he had a real look, his mind was still turbulent~IndoMTL.com ~ He hurriedly lowered his head again, probably because of this. He lost the courage to speak nonsense, so he could only say truthfully: "I don't know..."

"I just think that if she had any accidents because of me, I would be uncomfortable..."

"Probably because she really regards me as her master. I think there should be no reason in this world that a master would not save her disciple."

"Well...though I am not her real master."

Nineteen misunderstood Master, but Zhou Yuan did not naively think that such a thing could be hidden from Xu Han and others, so he admitted it frankly.

After saying this, it seemed that he had let go of a worry, and his heart became more calm. Rarely, he raised his head and dared to look directly at Xu Han's eyes.

Of course, this calmness was fleeting after meeting Xu Han's gaze—he still inevitably feared Xu Han after all.

"If you think it’s inappropriate for me to stay...I can leave, and I promise not to reveal anything about your whereabouts to anyone. Uh...and now in this world you have seen it too, I think if you can , You should also teach nineteen some kung fu, at least let her protect herself in this world."

An inexplicable smile hung on Xu Han's face after hearing this, but this smile made Zhou Yuan even more confused about Xu Han's thoughts.

"You still remember the things you promised with nineteen." Xu Han said, and nodded: "Okay, I will teach her."

"Huh?" Zhou Yuan, who didn't have much hope at first, was a little surprised when he heard Xu Han's words, but before he said something, Xu Han's voice sounded again.

"But by contrast, you have to promise me one thing."

"What?"

"Tell me everything you know about the half-demon!"
