Sweet as candy

Xue Shiji stood up abruptly, seeing Song Shuyan crying, he was so frightened that he didn't know what to do, whether to go forward to comfort him or what.Xiao Lang pushed him silently, Xue Shiji took two steps forward, and said softly: "Shuyan, don't cry, it's my fault."

Song Shuyan wiped his tears with his hands, and looked up at him from the haze of tears: "Then tell me, what's wrong with you?"

Xue Shiji was speechless for a while, but the two of them knew each other clearly, and Song Shuyan could hear clearly just now.But he didn't have the courage to tell Song Shuyan again.

He could only hand out his handkerchief silently, and stood aside with restraint and guilt.

Song Shuyan wiped away the tears by himself, raised his head and took a deep breath, suddenly seemed to have made up his mind, and said to Xiao Lang to the side: "Brother Xiao!"

Xiao Lang was caught off guard by being called, and even panicked for a moment: "Huh?"

"You teach me martial arts!"

Everyone was taken aback, Xiao Lang hesitated and said, "Why such a sudden request?"

Song Shuyan didn't even look at the unpredictable Xue Shiji, walked up to him, and said sincerely: "I'm a powerless person, and it's a burden to be by your side. You teach me some simple skills , I don’t want to be famous all over the world like those female knights in the Jianghu, at least I can defend myself. When the time comes, if you really fight with any force, you will also be free from worries.”

Xiao Lang heard that there was a hint of anger in her words, and persuaded him: "Shuyan, you misunderstood, we never thought you were a burden. On the contrary, thanks to your superb medical skills, we have saved us a lot of trouble. "

Xue Shiji was listening, feeling extremely sad, and said, "Shuyan, I didn't mean that. You are fine. I'm afraid I won't be able to give you what you want."

"Shaoxia Xue, don't think about it." Song Shuyan said coldly without looking sideways: "I want to practice martial arts just to protect myself. Brother Xiao is very skilled in martial arts, so many people can't help but ask for his help. This is my own choice, Shaoxia Xue Now that I have made a judgment, my life and death in the future have nothing to do with Xue Shaoxia."

Song Shuyan was usually soft-spoken, but as soon as she became stubborn, even Song Qingfeng couldn't help her.Xue Shiji heard her last sentence, although it was in line with his original intention, but his heart felt as if he was being grabbed by a hand, and it hurt so badly.

Xiao Lang was the most innocent at the side, he had obviously done nothing, yet he was going to be involved in this emotional battle.

From that day on, Song Shuyan would take the initiative to come every day and ask Xiao Lang to teach him martial arts.Xiao Lang suffered from endless headaches, learning martial arts is not something that can be accomplished overnight, what is needed is persistent and boring practice.Although Song Shuyan was more determined than those young heroes, Xiao Lang had always been with her as an older brother, and now seeing her sweating profusely and going to practice martial arts every day, he was not at ease.

If you let the leader know that his weak and precious daughter is now practicing martial arts every day harder than those disciples in the alliance, I don't know how he will feel.

Since the last time they broke up unhappy, Xue Shiji has never dared to go directly to Song Shuyan, but every day he finds various reasons to cover Xiao Lang's words and cares about Song Shuyan.

Xiao Lang was sandwiched between the two, suffering unspeakably, finally couldn't take it anymore and decided to escape as the best plan.

In the early morning, Xiao Lang's room door was gently pushed open, and he walked out lightly, just after leaving the courtyard, he bumped into a person head-on and backed away in shock.

After seeing the person coming, he patted his chest in a false alarm: "So it's you, Amu, why did you get up so early?"

"Wake up early and do morning exercises." It was rare for Mu Yunyi to see him acting like a guilty conscience, and asked, "Who do you think I am, Song Shuyan?"

Xiao Lang was still in shock, panting lightly: "Yeah, I thought she woke up very early today."

Mu Yunyi guessed that he was going out to avoid that girl, and asked, "Where are you going?"

"Mulong Mountain." Xiao Lang said bluntly, "Do you want to go together?"

He was suffering from the emotional entanglement between Xue and Song, so last night he secretly went to ask the disciples in the alliance if there was anything nearby that he could help.The disciple was flattered, and politely said no. Xiao Lang was depressed for a while, and then asked another person to inquire. Only then did he hear that the gangsters in Mulong Mountain had a way to break through. The itinerary was finalized twice, and I wanted to go alone, leaving this place for the awkward young couple.

Mu Yunyi said: "Go, wait for me for a while."

"Just take two pieces." Xiao Lang instructed, "Don't disturb other people."

What he meant was to avoid people.Mu Yunyi didn't say much, went back and got two pieces of clothes, and followed him to lead the horse.

These bandits have been active in Mulong Mountain for a long time, but their whereabouts are very secretive, and Mulong Mountain is extraordinarily tall, so they have not been able to find their stronghold.The person in charge of the Martial Arts League watched for a while, and finally got some clues. He was very surprised to hear that Xiao Lang was going to personally supervise this matter.

According to his original words, how can you kill a chicken with a sledgehammer.But Xiao Lang's attitude was clear, and he even said that his superiors attached great importance to this matter, so he specially sent himself to follow up.

Mu Yunyi wanted to laugh when he looked at his serious bluffing appearance, the person in charge had a brief contact with Xiao Lang, and brought a few people who were tied up in front of him: "Those bandits are domineering. I got used to it, and I actually became a king of the mountain in a decent way, asking several nearby villages to pay tribute for them. These are the people who are going to pay tribute, and our people followed many geniuses to capture them. The original plan was to pretend to be Sneak into the stockade just like them, release the signal flare after confirming the location, and take it down in one fell swoop."

Xiao Lang nodded, squatted down and stared at those people for a while, then suddenly said to one of them: "You look so white, you don't look like a bandit at all, how can you do this job gone?"

The person who was named knelt on the ground, trembled when he heard the words, and tremblingly said: "Hero, please forgive me, I am not a mountain bandit, but a scholar who knows how to make plans. I was taken into captivity two years ago to settle accounts for them. It has nothing to do with me, please be a hero!"

Xiao Lang didn't answer, seeing him crying bitterly, stood up and gave the people beside him a wink.

Those people were taken down again, Xiao Lang said: "Have you checked what he said?"

"This scholar has been crying since the day he was arrested. Naturally, he has been investigated." The person in charge respectfully said: "Although what he said is true, the black account he made for the village in the past two years is still not settled at all. ..."

He faltered a bit in the middle of speaking, Xiao Lang gave him a strange look: "Besides what?"

"We found out that this scholar seems to have a close relationship with the village owner..." The other party's voice became even lower: "Although he was taken captive into the village, he was treated very well in terms of basic necessities of life, and the village owner didn't even have much restrictions. his freedom."

His words inevitably caused people to think about the ambiguous side, Xiao Lang raised his eyebrows, and said: "You should separate them first, so as not to make a confession, and then interrogate them one by one, and you must not catch innocent people by mistake. But don’t let it go so easily.”

The person in charge nodded, Xiao Lang said again: "When will the tribute be paid?"

"You hour tomorrow." The person in charge said, "According to Xiao Xia, how should we arrange this time?"

"I'll sneak in with Amu." After seeing Mu Yunyi's kung fu that day, Xiao Lang was no longer as worried as before.For the other party, he has a new level of understanding: "You stay outside, and I will find a way to send out a signal when the time comes. Before the signal is released, don't startle the snake."
