In the house of Zhong Xihou in Jinling City, King Gui was leaning on a stone chair in a stone pavilion. Two dolls were also in the pavilion, greedily drinking milk tea and eating roast chicken.
These two dolls were wearing clothes made of animal skins, and their skin color was darker. Naturally, compared to Zhong Xihou, they were fairer. The two dolls' double-skinned eyes were astonishingly large, and their eyes were as attractive as stars.
The slightly more outgoing doll wiped his mouth with the back of his hand, and then asked King Gui: "Sister Gui Wang, is City Lord Zhong a hero?"
King Wei was staring at the sky in a daze, and when he heard someone calling her, he couldn't help but turn around. Seeing King Ji looking at him and not answering, the doll had no choice but to ask again: "Sister King Ji, is Lord Zhong a hero?"
When King Gui heard this, he was happy, then he frowned slightly, thought for a while, and asked: "Then, what kind of existence do you think the hero is?"
The baby scratched his head with his oily hand. This sloppy appearance made King Gui feel really uncomfortable. The little guy thought for some time, and finally got discouraged. He shook his head and said, "I don't know, Master."
It is said that when the road is rough, it is a hero to draw a sword to help!"
When the other kid heard this, he immediately objected, put down the chicken leg that was almost eaten, and retorted: "No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no."
The baby who spoke first was unconvinced and continued: "Those who give up their homes for the sake of the country and the people are the heroes among the talented and beautiful ladies in the eyes of the sisters in the building. There will be no such fools in the world."
The two dolls were quarreling so much that King Gui found it interesting. When the two children got tired of arguing, or maybe the baby who spoke first noticed something was wrong, he stopped. He turned his head and looked at Zhong Xihou again and asked: "
Sister Guiwang, what is a hero?"
King Gui thought for a while, Zhong Nanyan has always been called Zhong Daxia because of his arrogance towards others. Zhong Nanyan was called Zhong Daxia because of his arrogance. Whether Zhong Xihou is serious about leaving his small family to protect everyone, he has not yet fully understood
Confirmed. Whether Marquis Zhong Xi can leave his small family to protect everyone, not to mention her, even Marquis Zhong Xi himself would not dare to boast about Haikou.
These are just two dolls, there are too many truths to tell them and they should not be done.
At this time, a gentle voice came and helped King Gui out of trouble.
"A chivalrous man never gives up, a chivalrous man never fights."
The three of them looked at where they came from at the same time, and it was the dancing girl Zangyan who came over with some snacks.
"If you want to become a hero, it's just like you eating. You have to eat the food one bite at a time and chew it a lot to digest it properly. You two kids, don't think about becoming heroes now. Learn your skills and understand the etiquette. Only then can you walk in the world.
Become a hero."
The two children are not bad at martial arts, but in terms of reading and literacy, they can only make people sigh. The two of them blinked and thought for a while, not knowing whether what Zang Yan said was right or wrong.
Just as the two dolls were lost in thought, a ray of white light shot down, raising dust. The same moment the white light shot down, the two dolls immediately took action.
I saw the two of them flying up, guarding King Gui and Zang Yan behind them. They looked like they were not as tough as the big insects protecting the calf.
When the dust cleared and the white light dimmed, the two dolls were dumbfounded.
The white light falling in the courtyard was actually his master's sword, the spiritual weapon, the Impermanent Sword.
The white light of the Impermanence Sword has dimmed, but occasionally it shines out a little.
The two dolls looked at each other and burst into tears.
Zang Yan didn't understand why, but King Gui understood it.
Then, the two dolls muttered vaguely while kowtowing to the Impermanence Sword. One after another, one after another, King Gui and Zangyan watched the bluestone slab being smashed by their foreheads, and the blood stains on it changed from a little to nothing.
Into two points, one beach.
Zang Yan dropped the snacks in her hand and hurriedly went over to hold the two dolls. Although Zang Yan had some skills and was much older, in terms of strength, she was no match for these two teenage dolls. Suddenly, Zang Yan was captured by the two of them.
When he was kowtowing, he was moved, and his little face fell on the stone floor.
A scream made the two dolls stop.
King Gui helped Zang Yan up, and when he saw it, he was a little frightened. There was a scratch mark on Zang Yan's beautiful face, and there was sand and fine stones in the flesh and blood.
When the two dolls saw Zang Yan, who had been accidentally injured by them, they stopped crying and stood up to go over. Seeing the shame on their faces, Zang Yan had no intention of blaming her.
King Gui looked at the two dolls and didn't know whether to blame or comfort them for their grief at this moment.
Zang Yan endured the pain and asked King Gui: "What's wrong with this sword?"
Before King Gui could speak, the doll named Shen Tu opened his mouth and explained: "This sword, this sword is my master's sword."
"Your master's sword, then why are you still facing it..."
Before Zang Yan could finish her question, King Gui gently pressed the back of her hand and interrupted her.
"Master, Master has passed away. We have become orphans and wild children again..."
When these words came out, not to mention Shen Tu, Yu Lei was also filled with grief and cried even more heartbreakingly than before.
"What's there to cry about?"
A powerful voice came, and King Gui and Zang Yan looked at each other. Zhong Xihou and Yan Hu Deliang had strode over. Naturally, the two of them also noticed the Impermanence Sword that was deeply embedded in the stone slab. When they saw this sword, they naturally understood.
All.
I don't know whether he had support or was frightened by Zhong Xihou's words. Shen Tu Yulei stopped crying instantly, but there were still tears in his eyes. He suppressed his emotions and prevented the tears from flowing out.
But they are two babies after all. The tears have been in their eyes for a long time. How can they not make their eyes dry and uncomfortable?
It hurts even more.
Although Ren is very capable, he is still a baby after all. His eyes hurt like this and he cried again.
Zhong Xihou was about to say something else, but when he saw the scar on the left side of Zang Yan's face, he immediately frowned.
King Gui and Zang Yan also saw what Zhong Xihou was thinking. One went to comfort the two babies and took them to wash their hands and wipe their faces. The other smiled gently at Zhong Xihou and said it was okay.
When Zang Yan also left to treat the wounds on her face, only Zhong Xihou and Yan Hu Deliang were left in the yard.
The two of them couldn't help but sigh as they looked at the Impermanence Sword that penetrated deeply into the stone slab.
Zhong Xihou pulled out the sword, and the white light on the sword brightened slightly, and then completely dimmed. The two sat in the stone pavilion, and the Wuchang Sword was placed on the stone table together with the Tingyu Sword.
After a moment of silence, Zhong Xihou asked: "Xiao Liang, when nine kingdoms were destroyed, so many people died around you?"
Yanhu Deliang shook his head and replied: "Master Hou, are you confused? When I was born, the Three Kingdoms no longer existed, and I don't know how many people died in those years. Maybe it was because Master Hou was used to staying in the West.
Yes, the black armor is so elite. The so-called tragic battle is just a dozen brothers killed in the battle. But has the Marquis ever thought about how many members of the Qingjian Guards and Anbu must be replaced every year?"
Marquis Zhongxi fell into silence. What Yan Hude said was true. The Black Armored Army was indeed elite. Every time they went on an expedition, only a few were lost. But how many people did the Qingjian Guards and his Anbu have to replace every year? If it was like before, he would
Mo Xian, who mobilized all the masters from the Yuanzu realm and above in Lincheng in the West, was actually just hitting an egg against a stone, only to increase the number of dead souls.
He also marveled, could it be that Bai Wuchang really single-handedly defeated the World Sword Sect and entered the world?
"Since I joined Lord Marquis and then went to Yan Yunqi, people around me have died one after another. Even though he was an orphan like Yun Shang, after his death, a sister like Zang Yan was sadly missed."
"Yun Shang?" Zhong Xihou slowly spit out the two words, and he realized that it turned out that Qin Ji was called Yun Shang. It was ridiculous. Yan Hude was afraid that he had re-investigated Qin Ji and Zang Yan's life experience, but he himself
It was only then that I even learned the little girl’s name.
Yan Hude naturally saw what Zhong Xihou was thinking, chuckled, and then said: "Just like Yun Shang and the Marquis, they are just a bonus to buy back Miss Zangyan, but no matter how humble and insignificant she is, she is still a human being."
. Even if a wild dog dies, its companions will mourn, let alone a living person."
"Yun Shang, Yun Shang." Zhong Xihou softly repeated Qin Ji's name twice more, and then asked, "Have you ever checked who killed Yun Shang?"
When Yan Hudeliang heard this, he couldn't help but laugh again. This time his tone was no longer heavy, and he said slightly teasingly: "What? Don't you believe that Zhu Yinuo killed Yun Shang?"
Zhong Xihou glared at Yan Hude with a slight anger. Yan Hude knew that he was talking nonsense. Why did Zhong Xihou want to cripple Zhu Yinuo's finger? He had already explained that it was indeed against the rules to make fun of him again.
"The swordsmanship is so fierce that even the Marquis didn't notice anyone approaching at that time. It's really impossible to find out who did it."
Upon hearing this, Zhong Xihou smiled. Yan Hude was a little confused and looked at Zhong Xihou like this.
Zhong Xihou stopped laughing and explained: "Xiao Liang, why do you think this Yun Shang died outside our house?"
Yan Hude was stunned for a moment, then frowned and asked uncertainly: "Could it be that this girl Yunshang is also a teenager?"
Zhong Xihou still had a smile on his face, which was ridiculous but a little bitter. Then he asked: "Is Zang Yan really clean?"
Yan Hude did not dare to say anything this time. Are Yun Shang and Zang Yan really as clean as he found out?
"If Miss Zangyan and Yun Shang are not just slaves raised by King Jinling, what are the Lord's plans?"
When Zhong Xihou heard this, he was happy and replied without thinking: "Since Yun Shang is dead, he is dead. It is impossible to bury what I have done in Lincheng these days, not to mention that it is all obvious."
I'm doing it. Zang Yan, please take her back to the city that never sleeps."
Yan Hude frowned slightly and asked again: "Those old guys in the West are really not going to object to the Marquis bringing a woman back?"
These words made Zhong Xihou stunned. After thinking for a while, he asked: "Xiao Liang, do you think the foster father or the Lord of Dugu City has any descendants?"
Yan Hude didn't think about it and directly replied: "What about Dugu? I don't want to comment. Zhong Daxia's life experience is known to everyone. He will naturally not be a descendant of Dugu. Whether Zhong Daxia has any descendants, I don't know.
How can we know?"
"Xiao Liang, the lord of the Evernight City does not have to be named Zhong. Do you think it is feasible to leave the Evernight City alone?"
Yan Hude was overjoyed, and smiled without restraint. He asked: "Not to mention other things, Master Zhong is not going to avenge the last wish of his enemy. Has he fulfilled it? If the Master is willing to abandon the Sleepless City, what a big deal
When I get back, I will tell those old guys that Mr. Hou is dead.
On the way back to the West, let them choose a successor."
Zhong Xihou did not scold him, but also smiled. He smiled a little bitterly and said: "If it can be so simple, why not? It's a pity. If it really goes as they planned, and there is a war, how can we call home?"
"When the Marquis was in the West, he would not act like a mother-in-law. Could it be that he is afraid? At worst, when the war breaks out, the Marquis will take Miss Zang Yan and leave the city that never sleeps."
When Zhong Xihou heard this, he fell into deep thought. He began to imagine that the world was peaceful. He and Zang Yan were living in a small town somewhere, with their children in groups. It was so happy.
But it was just a dream, and the dream would eventually wake up. He couldn't help but sigh and said: "When the war breaks out, the most important thing is to survive. Not to mention this, senior Wu Chang, how about giving this sword to the Wind Spirit King?
?”
Yanhu Dezai carefully looked at the Impermanence Sword on the table. Although this sword was not slender and did not conform to the Wind Spirit King's daily sword-wielding habits, it was still a spiritual treasure.
"I'm not a swordsman, so I don't know what kind of sword is suitable for what kind of person. But for someone like Senior Wu Chang, since his sword has a spirit and can soothe the Wind Spirit King's mind, it should be good."
"Then give it to Wind Spirit King."
Yan Hude thought about the two dolls, and then asked: "Master Hou, what about Senior Wuchang's two dolls?"
Mentioning Shen Tu Yu Lei, Zhong Xihou couldn't help but feel a headache. When the two of them didn't know how to arrange it properly, King Gui came over.
"Master Marquis, why not let Shen Tu and Yu Lei stay in Jinling City to accompany the slave girl Tong Qu."
Zhong Xihou thought for a while, then nodded and said: "The two little kids are very capable, but they are young after all. With the guidance of King Gui, they should be able to distinguish right from wrong in the future, and they will not do what Senior Wuchang did to him."
Yan Hude asked: "King Gui, what happened to the two dolls?"
King Gui sighed and said: "Everyone around me is gone, not to mention dolls. It is hard for adults to accept it for a while. King Fengling is sensible this time and is coaxing these two dolls with the treasures he bought. When will Mr. Hou
Set off and return to the West?"
"Let's see the situation in Mo County in a few days. If it's really all right, we can go back to the West." Zhong Xihou thought for a while, then continued, "King Fengling will stay with you in Jinling. Although Feng'er is crazy,
Silly, but when it comes to swordsmanship, they are not bad. These two children will be taught by you, King Gui, in literacy, and they will be taught by King Fengling once they are on the road to swordsmanship."
"City Lord Zhong, we want to avenge our master!"
Just as Marquis Zhong Xi was making arrangements, a childish voice interrupted the conversation. The three of them looked at each other and saw that Shen Tu and Yu Lei were not far away. The silly big man Fengling King was following behind the two of them, with someone still in his arms.
He hugged a bunch of his favorite things. Windmills, clay figurines, rattles, they were all children's toys.
The two dolls were close, and Zhong Xihou stroked their heads with both hands. At that moment, his expression was only revealed when he was dealing with Fengling King and Huidong.
"Senior Wu Chang took action, and those people who came here are all dead."
The two children understood the meaning, opened their big eyes, and asked: "City Lord Zhong, is Master a hero?"
Zhong Xihou didn't know how to answer. Is Bai Wuchang a hero? As far as he knew, although Hei Wuchang was happy in the world, his character was not worthy of the word hero. So Bai Wuchang, a compatriot of Hei Wuchang, was a hero?
"He is heroic and righteous, and eliminates evil from the world. He is naturally worthy of the title of hero."
Rarely speaking, the boy named Yu Lei asked firmly, "City Lord Zhong, who is the hero?"
Zhong Xihou once again didn’t know how to answer. He, Zhong Xihou, was often called Zhong Daxia, Zhong Daxia, but how to define the word Daxia?
The stone pavilion was quiet and no one made a sound. No matter whether it was Zhong Xihou, the lord of the West City, Yan Hu Deliang, who had gone through nine kingdoms, or King Gui, who was a wise and strategist, they didn't know how to respond.
The Wind Spirit King, who was behind Shen Tu and Yu Lei, spoke. The tone of his words made people know that he was an idiot, but the words he spoke had to make people think deeply.
"Grandpa Qu once said that those who are upright in heaven and earth are heroes!"
What is a hero and how to unify it?
At sunset on this day, white light scattered across the twelve cities of the Daye Empire.
Zhongxihou was sitting alone in the pavilion when he saw white light falling from the sky. It got closer and turned into a wisp of white smoke, floating towards him. This aura contained pure sword energy. Zhongxihou tentatively stretched his hand towards the white smoke.
, white smoke wrapped around his body, but did not harm him.
Then, the white energy suddenly entered Zhong Xihou's body, and he felt his blood veins swell, as if they were about to burst.
Zhong Xihou was about to activate the Qi in his body, but he felt that the Qi in his body was just expanding without any other movement. This torture lasted for nearly half an hour. When it was over, his clothes were already soaked, and he felt the Qi in his body again.
But it is extremely gentle.
Zhong Xihou opened his right hand again, and a goose-yellow sword energy appeared.
Then I heard thunder in the sky, and when I looked up, I saw dark clouds. From time to time, bright yellow light flashed in the clouds. If you look carefully, you can see a long and slender shadow that looks like a snake.
Zhong Xihou felt that something was not good, and this feeling was actually a precursor to a breakthrough in his cultivation. Just as he was about to take steps to get the rain sword, he suddenly lost his breath and his heart stopped.
