Chapter 279-284, Xiaobai's sense of security, old friend Hong Qi For a while. Xiaobai completely lost his sense of time, and his memory became confused and blurry. He felt as if he had drunk too much and lost his mind. He was in some kind of indescribable trance and dizziness. I don’t know how much time has passed. When she finally came to from the dizziness that had made her disoriented, she found herself back in her and Xiaoqing's bed. In front of her was Xiaoqing lying on her side, facing her. There was a drunken blush on Xiaoqing's cheeks, and tears hung in the corners of her eyes as if she had been crying, but the corners of her lips were slightly raised, revealing a beautiful smile. Xiaoqing was naked as usual, and one of her legs was resting on hers. Xiaobai has long been accustomed to Xiaoqing's sleeping posture. But what she was not used to was her current state. His body was so limp that he had no strength at all, and even his fingers and toes were unable to move.
The most important thing is that there is a warm body behind her. The strong chest was pressed against her back, the steel-like belly was close to her hips, a strong arm passed through her ribs from below and embraced her chest, while the other arm went around her waist from above and gently embraced her belly. This posture made her whole body be pressed into his arms. Feeling the sturdy body that fits her perfectly from behind, and feeling the warmth of the palm on her lower abdomen, Xiaobai couldn't help but tremble slightly. This slight tremor seemed to startle Xiaoqing. Seeing Xiaoqing's long eyelashes trembling, as if she was about to open her eyes, Xiaobai felt his heart pounding. He quickly closed his eyes and tried his best to pretend to be asleep. Afterwards, she felt Xiaoqing gently touching her face with his cheek, then he squeezed into her arms and put a hand on her hip, and then there was no movement again. Listening to Xiaoqing's gradually even breathing, Xiaobai secretly breathed a sigh of relief. But soon, the body that was hugging her from behind moved again. This time, Xiaobai's body tensed up and she almost suffocated due to the tension. Fortunately, he seemed to be moving only unconsciously. Xiaobai bit her red lips with her pearly teeth, feeling nervous and uneasy for a long time, but he didn't make any further moves. Only then did her tense body slowly relax. As she relaxed, a strong sense of fatigue came over her again, and before she knew it, she fell into a deep sleep. Not disturbed by the breathing and hug of the person behind you. The sturdy body that fit her too closely, the strong arms that seemed to be able to hold up the sky, and the powerful embrace that seemed to warm her deep inside, gave her an indescribable sense of security. Because even if the sky falls, he can hold it up. As long as he was around, she and Xiaoqing would never be hurt again. While she was sleeping, her hand unconsciously fell on his arm, and her body snuggled tighter into his arms. …… main world. In the afternoon, inside Hangu Pass, at the foot of a mountain.
Hong Qi sat on a rock beside the road to rest his feet, ate a few bites of cold steamed buns, and drank a sip of water from the gourd. There is a tea stall not far away, owned by a young couple who look to be less than 20 years old. A few traveling merchants had just had tea and eaten some coarse grain cakes in the teahouse and were now on their way. The young couple cleaned up the table, and the male shop owner walked out of the teahouse and waved to Hong Qi: "Brother, come and sit down." Hong Qi smiled and said: "I am a beggar, and I can't take care of your business." He was indeed dressed like a beggar now, with tattered clothes, messy hair, and his index finger on his right hand missing. He is now a nine-fingered beggar. "Come over and have a cup of tea and a hot cake, it's free." The male shop owner still greeted him warmly, and there was no disdain in his eyes towards the beggar. The same was true for the young proprietress. A playful smile appeared in Hong Qi's eyes. After thinking for a while, he stood up, went to the tea stall and sat on the bench. As expected, the proprietress brought him a large bowl of tea and two hot vegetarian cakes. Hong Qi was not polite either. He took a big bite of the bread, chewed it slowly for a few times, as if savoring something, and then chewed it a few more times with his cheeks wide open. After swallowing it, he drank a sip of tea and said with a smile: "It seems that brother really wants to treat me to cake." The male shop owner smiled and said: "I'm not really inviting you to eat cake, why did I invite you over?" Hong Qi joked: "I thought you saw that I was strong and wanted to knock me out and sell me to the coal cellar." His words were half joking and half sincere. Because he could tell at a glance that the young couple were skilled in martial arts, and not only that, they were also good kung fu masters. With such skills, you can get enough food anywhere, and have a meal of wine and meat every day. Why bother opening such a small tea stall on the roadside? So at the beginning, Hong Qi suspected that this was a small shady shop and that the couple was doing a no-cost business. But now he was a little uncertain again. Although one can never judge a person by his appearance, and many evil people are very good at disguising themselves, this young couple does not look like any criminal thugs at all. Occasionally, one can even see some "etiquette and education" in their behavior, giving them the feeling of being disciples of a famous family. So, who are the backgrounds of this young couple? Just as I was thinking about it, the male shop owner said with a smile: "Brother, you are such a joke. Who in Guanzhong dares to do this kind of business? Speaking of which, brother, you are not from Guanzhong, right?" "Yeah." Hong Qi nodded, ate another bite of biscuit, and drank a sip of tea. "I'm from Shandong." "Shandong...Brother, are you here to make a living?" "Yes, I came to beg for food." "Begging? Then you've come to the wrong place, brother." "Why? Is begging not allowed in Guanzhong?" "No. Especially for a man as tall and strong as you, if the government sees you, they will arrest you and send you to a labor camp."
"What is labor reform?" "Reform through labor. It means farming, road construction, quarrying, logging, and other labor work... In short, if you are lazy and become a beggar, the government will use a whip to teach you how to do things until you get rid of your laziness. If your family has fallen into poverty and you have to beg for food, the government will teach you how to make a living, and if you want to farm, you will be given land, seeds, and farm tools. If you want to work, you will also be introduced to jobs. If you are a disabled person who really can't do heavy work, you can go to the orphanage to do some light work such as weaving mats and shoes." "Is the government of Dayong so overbearing? They even don't allow begging for food?" "Of course not. The government has issued a notice that no beggars are allowed under the rule of Dayong. When the world is unified in the future, no beggars are allowed in the whole world." "..." Hong Qi was in a trance for a moment, and recalled the young man in white who met him by the stream at the foot of the Helan Mountains when Western Xia was still in existence. The young man in white seemed to have said that the strengthening of the Beggars' Sect was not a good thing, and if he gained power, he would destroy the Beggars' Sect. Now it seems that he really wasn't joking. And the way he eliminated the Beggars' Sect was also impeccable. The beggars were captured and reformed. If they were lazy, their laziness would be cured. If they were poor, not only would they be taught how to make a living, but they would also be given land, seeds, and farm tools, or be introduced to jobs. Even the disabled had orphanages. However, such a plan is not easy to achieve. It not only requires continuous investment from the government, but also requires strong organization and execution. Does Dayong really have the ability to achieve it? Just as I was about to ask more, a few people suddenly came over on the official road. There were three men and two women, all of them looked exhausted, and not only did they walk very fast, but there seemed to be some worry in their eyes, and they kept looking back while walking. Seeing the roadside tea stall, three of them swallowed unconsciously, obviously thirsty and hungry, but they had no intention of stopping to rest and continued on their way in a hurry. The proprietress stood by the shed and called out: "Would you like to come and rest your feet and have some tea? The prices in this little shop are very cheap." Those people didn't respond, only one person waved his hand in annoyance and muttered something. At this time, the male shop owner suddenly said: "You are secret agents of the Jin Kingdom. Your identities have been exposed. Are you running for your lives?" As soon as these words were spoken, the three men and two women stopped at the same time and turned their heads to look at the young couple in the tea stall. One of the couple twisted and pulled their canes and actually pulled out a long and narrow sword that was shining with cold light. "These three people can't be kept." An older man said in a deep voice. "Kill them all." Another woman said coldly. The two men and women, weapons drawn, laughed grimly and walked towards the teahouse: "Don't blame us for being cruel. If you want to blame someone, blame you for being too talkative." The young couple smiled, and suddenly they both dug their toes into the ground, and with a puff, they kicked up a cloud of mud and sand, which shot towards the faces of the two sword-wielding men and women. The man and woman cursed and quickly raised their hands to cover their faces. At the moment they lost sight, the young couple moved together and rushed in front of the two men like lightning. The proprietress used extremely swift movements, and her five fingers flicked the sword-wielding woman's wrist like an orchid blooming. The sword-wielding woman involuntarily let go of her hand, and the rapier fell out of her hand. The proprietress grabbed the rapier and stabbed it back with lightning speed, piercing the sword-wielding woman's throat. The male shop owner kicked out like lightning, his toes hitting the sword-wielding man's wrist, snapping it and sending the sword flying. The male shop owner did not catch the sword, but stepped forward, shoulder-slumped into the sword-wielding man's arms, and with a bang, he knocked the sword-wielding man several feet away. There was a sound of bones breaking in the chest of the sword-wielding man, and blood gushed out of his mouth and nose. After he fell to the ground, he struggled with his legs and died on the spot. Only at this moment did the male shop owner raise his hand and calmly catch the rapier falling from the air. "This sword is too thin. I'm not used to it."
The male shop owner casually performed a sword flower dance. He said that he was not used to it, but he performed the sword flower dance very beautifully. Seeing that two of their companions had died in just one encounter, the remaining three Jin spies suddenly changed their expressions and cried out in a lost voice: "Are you disciples of Taihua Martial Arts School?" The male shop owner smiled slightly: "No. We are the second generation disciples of Huashan Sect." The second generation disciple of Huashan Sect. They were the first group of orphans that Ouyang Feng sent Wang Wu, He Song, Gao Hu and other first-generation Huashan disciples down the mountain. Now the second generation disciples have all grown up. After years of hard training, they have the guidance of wise masters, superior martial arts, and even the assistance of elixirs. Although these second generation disciples are not geniuses and are still young, the martial arts of the best among them are no less than that of Qiu Chuji, the most skilled of the Seven Quanzhen disciples in another world line. This young couple, who used a tea stall as a cover to stay here and deal with the spies, were not the best, but their martial arts skills had reached the middle level of the Seven Masters of Quanzhen. And this is not their limit, they will achieve even higher achievements in the future. Because their leader is Ouyang Feng. "Huashan Sect, second generation disciple..." A hint of bitterness appeared in the eyes of the three Jin spies. Unexpectedly, after finally escaping from the pursuit of the disciples of Taihua Martial Arts School, he encountered an even more ruthless character. As secret agents, and since the Huashan Sect no longer needed to keep secrets, they of course already knew that Taihua Martial Arts School was just a branch of the Huashan Sect. Only the most outstanding disciples of martial arts schools are qualified to be sent to Huashan and become Huashan disciples. "If you know what's best for you, put down your weapons and surrender yourself." The proprietress smiled slightly, her smile was kind and sweet, and she looked a bit like Baoqin - the second generation disciples of Huashan were mostly taught by Baoqin, so the female disciples of Huashan Sect would unconsciously imitate Baoqin. However, although their smiles were friendly, the female disciples would never show mercy when it came to killing people. Because among the Huashan disciples, there is also a ruthless senior brother. Before joining the army to fight, the time spent by senior brother Wang Wu teaching his junior brothers and sisters was second only to Baoqin. His style of being as friendly as spring breeze to his own people and as cold as winter to his enemies also deeply influenced his disciples. There are also legends about the "White-robed Shura, Blood-handed Yaksha, and Western Dragon King" who are the leaders who are revered as gods by Huashan disciples, which also have a profound influence on their style of doing things. It is certainly inappropriate to describe Huashan disciples as "good-looking but evil-hearted". After all, Huashan disciples also have principles and do not kill indiscriminately. But there is absolutely nothing wrong in describing it as "kind-faced but evil-handed". now. Facing the young couple's attempt to persuade them to surrender, the three Jin spies looked at each other and gritted their teeth: "If they wanted to surrender, they would have surrendered long ago! Why would they wait until now?" "The Great Jin has nurtured scholars for a hundred years, so how could there be no loyal officials and righteous men?" "We would rather die than surrender!"
The male shop owner's eyes showed admiration: "What a brave man! I'll give you a quick death!" After saying that, he and the proprietress charged forward with swords. With just a few moves, the three spies were covered in blood and dead on the spot. Seeing that they had killed all five spies, Hong Qi couldn't help but wonder: "You're not going to keep anyone alive to torture him for information?" The lady boss smiled and said: "These people are probably Jin's death warriors, or their relatives are controlled by Jin and dare not betray. We can't get any information from them, or even get false information that will mislead people, so we just kill them." The male shop owner said: "In the face of the absolute strength of Dayong, any conspiracy or trick is useless. We just need to clean up our own house." He smiled at Hong Qi and said: "I thought you would rescue them, brother." "Why?" "I suspected that you were a spy from the Kingdom of Jin. You disguised yourself as a beggar and came to Guanzhong to spy on us." "now what?" “I still have some doubts now.” The male shop owner smiled like a smiling tiger. Hong Qi felt that they did not look like the disciples of the cold-spoken Ouyang Feng at all. "So, brother, why don't you come with us to Chang'an as a guest?" "I'm not going to Chang'an." Hong Qi shook his head: "I'm going to Huashan." "Going to Huashan?" The male shop owner raised his eyebrows and asked, "Brother, what are you doing?" "I'm actually here to visit friends. Ouyang Feng and Lady Lin Chaoying are my old friends." Hong Qi sighed: "I haven't seen you for many years. I wonder if they still recognize me as their old friend..." 【Ask for monthly tickets! 】 (End of this chapter)
