Asking hexagram 20 taels

(28)

"I'm leaving Beijing."

"What? You want to go too?"

Tang Yuan and Yuan Xiao looked at each other in surprise.Originally, Tang Yuan thought that he was dressed in white and had no worries. Even if he left the capital and was discovered by the emperor, it would be difficult to bring him back. However, Yuan Xiao was different from himself.This time he came to Yuan Xiao to bid farewell to him, but he didn't expect Yuan Xiao to react like this.

"What? There is a change in the emperor's side, and you are not allowed to train troops for the Gyeonggi Guard?"

Yuan Xiao said: "I just received the order a few days ago, and I will take Yuan Jiajun back to Gubei City."

"Gubei City?" Tang Yuan couldn't help trembling when he heard the name, "Aren't you looking for death when you go back to Gubei City now? It's already September, and it will be October soon. How sad is Gubei City in winter? I know. There will be a large number of Dawan people going south to plunder soon, if there is another one, will you come back alive?"

He was a little emotional, maybe that battle cast too much shadow on him, and he who almost died in Gubei City really cast a shadow on this place.

"Tangyuan, don't get excited, listen to me. If I don't take the opportunity to leave Beijing this time, I may not be able to leave. The general's foreign military orders will not be accepted. As long as I leave Beijing, my power will be much greater. When the time comes It may not be disturbed by Dawan. What's more, Gubei City is easy to defend and difficult to attack. Even if it can be attacked, it will suffer heavy losses. The people of Dawan will not attack so easily. What's more, I am the general defending the army," Yuan said. Xiao pulled Tang Yuan into his arms, slammed his chin on the hair falling from his shoulder, and gently blew into his ear, "You have to trust me."

Tang Yuan's ears turned red all of a sudden, hidden in the long black hair, only a small spot of blood-red ear tip was exposed, like cinnabar falling on ebony.

Tang Yuan's ears are very sensitive, obviously Yuan Xiao is well aware of this.Martial arts practitioners should have clear eyes and ears. Tang Yuan was blinded by poison for a long time when he was a child, so his eyesight is a bit hopeless, so he can only count on his hearing.So he trained his hearing quite hard, and he could even hear the material of hidden weapons breaking through the air a few feet away, and his ears were naturally more sensitive to various sounds.

As early as very early, how early? When Tang Yuan was twelve or thirteen years old, Yuan Xiao discovered that he was very sensitive to voice. If he talked close to him, he would be frightened to move. The face will be half red, and Yuxue, who can still find the "tangyuaner" in childhood, is cute.So Yuan Xiao sometimes deliberately went to his ear to make him blush, but later he became aggressive, so he seldom did this outside.

"Don't trick me!" Tang Yuan pushed him away, rubbed the tips of his red ears with his fingertips, and Yuan Xiao watched with regret that the redness gradually faded away, like a receding tide. Cleaned up.

Tang Yuan has a thick skin, and this blush quickly subsides. As long as he doesn't touch his ears, it is rare to see him blush.

"Of course I believe you. If I'm concerned just now, it's a mess. ——The martial arts conference will be held soon, and I don't know what's going on with Shen Duan and Wang Chengqian."

Yuan Xiao replied: "I have to go to Yuan's Army camp first to enlist troops. Although I can't join you in this martial arts conference, I can walk with you for a while."

The capital is two or three days away from Bafeng Mountain Villa, even if it is a fast horse. Tang Yuan and Yuan Xiao are not in a hurry—especially Yuan Xiao—the so-called soldiers and horses go first before the food and grass are mobilized, and it takes at least half a month to mobilize troops. , It will take another month for the grain and grass to arrive, so the time is really loose.

The two stopped and stopped along the way, the journey was only seven or eight days at most, but they had been walking for more than half a month, before they arrived at the martial arts conference, they saw a lot of knights and knights along the way.

Tang Yuan was lying on Dahei's back, holding a leaf torn from a tree in his mouth, tilting his feet and tilting his head, he asked Yuan Xiao: "Why do you think this chapter of blessings and misfortunes is so attractive, no matter what it is? Celebrities and knights flock to it?"

"It's not the blessings and misfortunes that attract people, but the power represented by the blessings and misfortunes." Yuan Xiao is leading two horses. His left hand is the bay red horse that Tang Yuan bought before he came, his right hand is Dahei, and Tang Yuan is lying on it. Yuan, "Dismount quickly, we will rest here for the night today."

"It's done!" Tang Yuan straightened up with a carp, jumped off the horse, took the rein in his hand, and stroked the mane on Dahei's neck, "Dahei, what do you think of this inn?"

In front of them stood a small two-story building with a mahogany plaque hanging on the eaves, with four strange characters written on the plaque: "Strange Inn".

The words on this plaque are as strange as the name of the inn. They are written in twists and turns, as if written by a child who did not go to school, but they are strangely harmonious with this small building.

"I think it looks good." Yuan Xiao took his words, handed the reins to the waiter in front of the store, and took his hand and walked into the store, "The strange inn is so strange, didn't you want to come here for a long time ?"

Open the door and enter, there are several waiters in the inn who are running back and forth attentively, holding steaming dishes in their hands, and some guests are sitting scattered on the four prescription tables, talking in low voices, and they seem to be the same.

Yuan Xiao also pulled Tang Yuan into the room. The two looked very calm, as if they had entered an ordinary inn.

Mutations are born in one step.A blue brick under Tang Yuan's feet suddenly loosened, and he tightened Yuan Xiao's hand suddenly.

"What's wrong?" Yuan Xiao turned around and asked him with concern.

"There is a mechanism, you close your eyes."

Yuan Xiao didn't doubt that he was there, and when he heard what he said, he closed his eyes obediently.

With a "pop", Qing Zhuan finally couldn't support Tang Yuan's body and fell down.

Tang Yuan lowered his head, and from the corner of his eye, he saw a few big cracks on the ground, and the unlucky brick fell into the big pit several meters deep, and fell to pieces.

Tang Yuan gently borrowed force from his toes on the ground, and it landed on the beam like a fallen leaf being blown by the wind. The inner force condensed into a thread and passed into Yuan Xiao's ears, "Jiugong Bagua Formation, listen to me."

Yuan Xiao nodded with his eyes closed. He could feel that Tang Yuan let go of his hand and he could feel that he was on the verge of danger, but he still believed in Tang Yuan without reservation.

"Gen bit three steps."

Yuan Xiao took three steps back towards Gen's position. It turned out that the position he was standing on collapsed the moment he left.

But it wasn't over yet, there was a sound of sharp blades piercing through the wood on the roof, and a bunch of knives protruded from the beams, heading straight for Tang Yuan.Tang Yuan was startled, jumped up at the last moment, and landed on a spot directly above Yuan Xiao's head.

"Tangyuaner!" Just now, the two of them communicated secretly through sound transmission, but Yuan Xiao blurted out in shock.

"Yuanxiao, this is not an ordinary formation. You must not open your eyes, or you will be disturbed by illusions. You and I will break the formation together." Tang Yuan observed the ever-changing formation above his head, and suddenly shouted, "Kan Nine steps."

The movements of the two are surprisingly consistent, and they fall at the same time. This is thanks to the two of them often playing like this when they were children.

To break this formation, two people must be in the same heart, otherwise the one that falls on the ground will be disturbed by illusions, and if one of the two has a difference, he will fall into two different sets of formations. Ninety-nine 81 formations, formations The chain is intertwined, and the two must be fascinated in the formation.

"Sword!"

Yuan Xiao drew his sword brazenly, making it the simplest and most powerful move in the lightsaber - see Qingtian.

Confined in the formation, entangled in phantoms, unable to see, if you want to break the formation, you will see the blue sky!

When this sword is swung, it is like a strong light shining in the clouds of the cloudy sky. Many illusions before are like sprites in the cloudy sky, and they are completely dispersed under the power of this sword.

Yuan Xiao opened his eyes again, the harmonious scene in the inn was still in front of him.On his right, Tang Yuan fell from the roof and was sorting his clothes.The two of them were still at the entrance of the inn before they entered the Bagua formation, and they were in the middle of the inn after breaking the formation.

There are square tables everywhere, and the knights on the table seem to be ignorant, still as before, talking in low voices, talking in silence, drinking in silence.

"You two are very skilled." Someone came down from the second floor, walking slowly, leaning on the wooden stairs and smiling.

This man has a kind face, slightly chubby cheeks, and only his stomach is round like a blown ball.Tang Yuan glanced at all the people eating in the dining room, more or less easy to see, there were a few faces he had seen at Qianmian's, but he was the only one who didn't.

Because the paint on his face was so heavy, it was heavy enough to cover his face.His face was painted with oil paint, and the red oil paint took up more than half of his cheeks, drawing the image of a huge mouth on his face.This mouth is not bloody, it is just bent upwards, it looks like this person is always smiling, but his expression is obviously not smiling, this mouth is really disgustingly disharmonious on his face.

Looking at his demeanor like the protagonist, you can tell that this person is the shopkeeper of the Strange Inn, the disciple of the master of mechanism—Hahaer.

Haha'er was followed by a girl in a light pink dress.The girl was about eight years old, with two long braids hanging from her head to her waist. She tugged on Haha'er's sleeves and looked up curiously at the inside of the Strange Inn as if she had never been here before. Tang Yuan and Yuan Xiao came in together.

Suddenly, as if she had discovered something, she jumped up and down beside Yuan Xiao, and curiously stretched out her index finger to touch the cold green steel sword.

The green steel sword is extremely sharp when its internal strength has not receded, and it can cut iron like mud with decisiveness, not to mention the delicate skin of an eight-year-old girl.

A line of blood immediately appeared on the girl's hand, bright red blood dripped on her hand, she looked at her fingers at a loss, with tears in her eyes, curled her lips and looked like she was about to cry up.

Tang Yuan squeezed in front of Yuan Xiao, smiled and handed her the blade he took off from the roof: "Touch your own knives, don't touch ours."

Haha'er walked down and laughed twice, his laughter was dry, he only let out two dry haha ​​sounds, but the corners of his mouth didn't even rise, which made his face look weird and terrifying: "Children are innocent, young heroes don't Compete with her."

"Yeah, children are innocent, and eight-year-old girls are naturally innocent." Tang Yuan patted the dust on his hands, stood up and took Yuan Xiao's hand, "80 years old may not be."

"Haha, what do you mean, young man?" The corners of Haha'er's mouth were pulled down, completely opposite to the mouth painted on his face, showing a strange aura.

Yuan Xiao tugged at Tang Yuan who raised his eyebrows and wanted to speak again, put the green steel sword in front of the girl, reinjected his inner strength, and the green steel sword that had just gradually quieted down gradually stripped off its plain appearance, and the entire inn sword Everbright.He said: "Of course we have to ask Granny Tonghua, who is 80 years old and looks eight years old."
