There’s No Such Thing as Love in a Swordsman’s Heart

Chapter 63: Vinegar Awakens

Views:

Jiang Su stood aside and told He Lingcheng what happened today.

There is a poison in the county, and He Lingcheng is a little worried that the two of them will encounter an accident again, but there is Sheng Hechen in the county, and He Lingcheng cannot follow him, so he can only be careful word by word.

At the same time, Wu Qi was holding the big furry claws of the white tiger, rubbing against his face, looking happy, obviously never thought that there would be such a beautiful baby in this world.

Jiang Su was full of emotion and said, "Wuqi protector really likes cats."

He Lingcheng didn't know how to answer, so he could only nod his head, but then he remembered something and asked Jiang Su, "Is this your idea."

Jiang Su blinked and wanted to deny it, but He Lingcheng continued: "You don't have to deny it, the young master doesn't have such a brain."

Jiang Su: "..."

"You want to make the Yanxiu League be more loyal to the young master." He Lingcheng said in a low voice, "You did hit his Xixun!

He Lingcheng has said this matter so firmly, Jiang Su no longer has to hide it, he just smiled and said: "Wuqi Protector is loyal to the young master, I just took the opportunity to give him some gifts."

He Lingcheng said, "You don't have to give me gifts."

Jiang Su knew that He Lingcheng was very concerned about Li Hanshan, and even if he did not try to win over He Lingcheng, He Lingcheng would never betray Li Hanshan.

But Jiang Su felt that it was this kind of dedication that made it more worthwhile to go to Shanmu and Bi Tuo.

"I have nothing to love and nothing to ask for." He Lingcheng suddenly sighed and said, "At this moment, the only gift I hope to receive is to see the young master get married before I turn thirty."

Jiang Su was silent for a moment, then asked, "Deputy Ambassador He, are you noble?"

He Lingcheng: "Twenty-nine."

Jiang Su: "..."

He Lingcheng added another sentence: "Twenty-nine, more than half."

Jiang Su: "..."

He Lingcheng sighed deeply: "There is only half a year left."

Jiang Su: "..."

It was impossible for Jiang Su not to understand what He Lingcheng meant, but he could only pretend to be stupid, laughed dryly, and said "time is running out", and then he couldn't wait to walk forward, walked to Wu Qi's side, and forcibly chatted with Wu Qi about other topics , said: "Wu Qi protects the law, this white tiger will hurt people."

What he said was utter nonsense.

But at this moment, He Lingcheng looked at him with that kind of probing eyes, and he was unwilling to continue the topic of He Lingcheng, so he could only continue this nonsense with Wu Qi, saying: "When this white tiger was in the forest, he still thought about it. Attack me, Wuqi Protector, if you want to raise it, be careful."

Wu Qi happily hugged the big paw of the white tiger, and said, "Big cat, there is nothing bad about it."

Before he finished speaking, the white tiger seemed to be about to wake up. He slowly opened his eyes and was still a little dizzy. He subconsciously raised his claws at Wu Qi.

Jiang Su paused, originally wanting to stop the white tiger, but unexpectedly the happy-looking Wu Qi reacted faster than him. Before the white tiger tried to resist, he raised his hand and slapped it on the head of the white tiger.

With a loud bang, the white tiger's head tilted, Dou Pu Zhongwensi went, Jiang Su was stunned for a long time, and then turned to look at Wu Qi, seeing that Wu Qi was still stroking the tiger's claws, as if he was carefully stroking some treasure. He opened his mouth and said, "Even if it has bad intentions, it can't beat it."

Jiang Su: "..."

Yes, he almost forgot.

Wu Qi's martial arts are also very high.

… and many more.

Yup! Wu Qi's martial arts are also very high, why did he forget to match Wu Qi!

Within a day, when he found so many hopes of completing the mission, Jiang Su couldn't help but be overjoyed, lowered his voice, and asked Wu Qi as if he didn't want to: "Wu Qi Protector, do you have a sweetheart?"

Wu Qi was silent for a moment, and finally looked back at Jiang Su, but did not answer Jiang Su's question directly, just sighed and said, "I don't have any money, it's too expensive to keep a cat."

Jiang Su paused for a moment before trying to understand Wu Qi's meaning. Wu Qi has raised many cats, and it takes a lot of money to feed the cats every day. Even if the magic guardian has a lot of money every month, it may not be enough.

Wu Qi has been in the Central Plains for so many years, I am afraid that he has not saved any money. Falling in love costs money, and getting married also costs money. Wu Qi can't get a penny, so it has been delayed until now.

But Jiang Su felt that the problem was actually very simple.

Wu Qi has no money, so he can't marry a wife, so he should find a rich one to marry him! Anyway, people in the Western Regions should not have so many rules. As long as Wu Qi has a wife, he has a red fate value, and the soft rice is also fragrant!

He turned his head and was about to check with Wu Qi for news again, but he saw that Wu Qi had fallen into the trouble of not having money, looked up at the huge size of the white tiger in front of him, and muttered in non-standard Chinese in pain. , said: "It's so big, how many fish do you have to eat?"

Jiang Su: "..."

Wu Qi scratched his head again and said, "Eating all the fish doesn't mean that it will eat meat."

Jiang Su: "..."

Wu Qi: "Kewo can't afford meat either."

Jiang Su: "..."

It's so pitiful, Jiang Su doesn't want to watch it anymore.

The dignified demon sect protector is so poor that he can't even afford meat.

He looked left and right, and in the end he could only go to Li Hanshan's side, and asked, "How much money can you get in a month for your demon sect protectors?"

Li Hanshan was secretly flipping through one of the books, and wanted to see if the villain in the book was in a normal posture, but he didn't want Jiang Su to suddenly come forward, so scared that he threw the book into the bag, just as a Nothing happened, then he looked at Jiang Su, pretended to be serious, and said solemnly: "I don't care, I don't know."

Jiang Su asked, "Then who is in charge of the accounts?"

Li Hanshan replied earnestly, "Deputy Ambassador He."

Jiang Su was startled, and when he looked at Wu Qi again, there was a hint of hope in his eyes.

He also said that he is looking for someone who can eat soft rice. Isn't there a huge meal ticket in front of him

He Lingcheng is in charge of all the internal affairs of the religion. If He Lingcheng can be persuaded to confiscate all Wuqi's pet pets and become the teaching cats of the Demon Sect, then the food of these cats in the future will naturally be borne by the Demon Sect at the public expense. Qi naturally doesn't have to worry about the cat's food!

Li Hanshan also followed Jiang Su's gaze towards He Lingcheng, still puzzled, and asked, "What are you looking at?"

Jiang Su asked him in a low voice, "I have a doubt, why is Wu Qi always in his room every time we go to find the deputy envoy."

Li Hanshan: "..."

Li Hanshan recalled carefully, and forgiveness

Every time he went to Helingcheng with Jiang Su, he could always see Wu Qi holding a cat. Not only that, but when he was teaching, Wu Qi liked to follow He Lingcheng, but Wu Qi didn't like to talk. It always acts as the background board holding the cat, and it is easy to be ignored, so after so long, Li Hanshan has not noticed it at all.

Jiang Su made a decisive decision, walked to He Lingcheng again, and decided to ask He Lingcheng what was going on.

He felt that He Lingcheng was a smart person. When facing He Lingcheng, he didn't need to be euphemistic. Anyway, He Lingcheng could always see what he was thinking, so he asked He Lingcheng directly and said, "Deputy Ambassador He, why does Protector Wu Qi always follow you? what?"

He Lingcheng was startled. He obviously didn't know the answer to this question, so he could only frown and said, "He... every time he comes, he tries to ask me for money to buy meat."

Jiang Su: "... ah?"

"I told him, do what you can, and don't keep so many cats." He Lingcheng sighed, "but he likes it, he would rather eat less of his own than eat more hungry cats, I can't persuade him."

Jiang Su: "He just asked you for money to buy meat?"

He Lingcheng nodded: "otherwise?"

Jiang Su: "..."

Sorry, he thought too much.

Wu Qi didn't grasp the meal ticket for this walk at all. There was nothing between the two of them.

When He Lingcheng saw him coming back, he couldn't help but continue to mutter: "My courtesy..."

Jiang Su: "I'll go see Zhou Zhou first!"

He turned his head and walked away. He Lingcheng stood in the distance and looked at his back. He felt that he seemed to be fleeing, and he couldn't help but sigh, feeling that the young master's love really had a long way to go.

Jiang Su found Zhou Zhou and said with him: "Zhou Zhukuai, tonight you are scoliosis ⅲ I need you to come with me into the city tomorrow."

Zhou Zhou was already worried about Xu Qingyan. Hearing Jiang Su's words, he couldn't help but feel overjoyed. He nodded and said, "Jiang Shaoxia! If you need my help anywhere, just say it!"

"You don't have to help, I just want to ask you a few questions." Jiang Su said with a frown, "Who is that person in the mountain temple, has Xu Zhaotou told you?"

Zhou Zhou opened his big innocent eyes and shook his head.

Jiang Su sighed and asked again, "Then when you went to the mountain temple, did you think there was anything weird?"

Zhou Zhou thought hard and recalled carefully, only then did Wan Huanxiu open his mouth and said, "There is indeed."

He remembered that day when he went up the mountain with Xu Qingyan. In the middle of the night, it was a lively time in the mountains and forests. There were always some insects and birds chirping. Not a single worm has been seen.

He felt strange and asked Xu Qingyan, but Xu Qingyan looked as usual. According to the calculation, Xu Qingyan asked him not to leave him too far until before entering the temple.

At that time, Zhou Zhou thought that Xu Qingyan was worried that his martial arts were too weak. If he stayed away, it would be difficult for Xu Qingyan to protect him, but now that I think about it... it's really weird.

In the past, when he went out with Xu Qingyan, Xu Qingyan never entrusted him like this.

Jiang Su suddenly felt that his guess had hit nine out of ten.

The art of controlling Gu is nothing more than using Gu worms to control people's hearts, or it can make people poisonous without knowing it, and Gu worms are made from ten thousand worms. If there are Gu worms in this mountain temple, then the rest are ordinary. Of course, it is normal to avoid the insects.

Jiang Su asked again, "Have you ever seen a hostage trapped in a mountain temple?"

Zhou Zhou nodded again and said, "This is even more strange."

He followed Xu Qingyan into the mountain temple, and carefully searched for the whereabouts of the missing people. He thought that so many people should be locked in a dungeon or something, but there was no cell in the mountain temple, so they searched for a long time. , and finally saw those people in the hall.

Only a solitary lamp was lit in the hall. Those people sat cross-legged on the futon, like monks in the temple, bowing their heads and bowing their heads, but they were not chanting sutras.

They all kept their eyes open, they were still breathing, but they didn't move at all, and they didn't react at all to outsiders' intrusion.

Zhou Zhou thought that the acupoints were blocked by someone. He wanted to go forward to try, but Xu Qingyan refused to allow him to take another half step forward. Then they were discovered by the people in the temple, and they had to flee in a panic.

Jiang Su nodded and said that he had figured out what he wanted to know. He got up and let Zhou Zhou look at him with a wink and asked, "Jiang Shaoxia, how can I help? Is it a busy place?"

Jiang Su: "No."

Zhou Zhou wanted to say more.

"You are so poor in martial arts, what help can you help?" Jiang Su raised his eyebrows, "Dodder Jue, don't hold back tomorrow!

Zhou Zhou: "…"

Jiang Su turned around ruthlessly, leaving only Zhou Zhou behind.

Zhou Zhou understood.

He admired Jiang Su's unrivaled martial arts at a young age, and simply admiring it was of no use.

He should regard Jiang Su as his goal, and then work hard towards this goal. As long as his martial arts progresses, Jiang Shaoxia will never say that to him again!

Zhou Zhou lay down on his back, closed his eyes, followed Jiang Su's instructions, and prepared the scotch ⅰ

At this moment, his heart was full of hope.

Jiang Su rested here for the night. The next morning, he got up and went out. He was about to practice swordsmanship when he saw Wu Qi carrying a bow and arrow and came back from outside the camp.

Jiang Su frowned and took a closer look. Seeing that Wu Qi was still dragging a string of hunting hunts from the mountains in his hand, it was obviously food for the white tiger. Jiang Su couldn't help but look at the sky. Because he needed to practice swords, it was almost dawn every day. When he got up, he felt that he got up very early, and Wu Qi... was even earlier than him.

Not only that, he saw Wu Qi's hunts that he couldn't catch in a short time. He couldn't even think about when Wu Qi got up. He didn't understand this man's love for cats.

Jiang Su greeted Wu Qi and woke Zhou Zhou up. Li Hanshan was already waiting for them by the roadside with his horse.

Zhou Zhou was injured and could not ride a horse. The old men borrowed a carriage from the county government yesterday, and Jiang Su asked him to get on the carriage.

Zhou Zhou felt that he was putting the blame on Wei Wei.

It's okay to meet the person he has admired for many years, but now Jiang Su is still driving the car for him, he is full of excitement, and he can't help but follow more words.

"Jiang... Jiang Shaoxia!" Zhou Zhou said excitedly, "I heard your story from the storyteller."

Jiang Su replied expressionlessly: "Most of them are fake."

Zhou Zhou was startled, and immediately shook his head to deny Jiang Su's words, saying, "Jiang Shaoxia, if you are not a legend in this arena, how could those storytellers like to preach your stories so much?"

Jiang Su raised his eyebrows and asked, "What did they say?"

Zhou Zhou: "Said Jiang Shaoxia that you would have a sword when you were born!"

Jiang Su: "Wake up, normal people don't walk until they are one year old."

Zhou Zhou: "Defeat the seniors at the age of five!"

Jiang Su: "I started practicing swordsmanship when I was five years old."

Zhou Zhou: "Become the number one sect at the age of ten!"

Jiang Su: "It was only when I was ten years old that I began to practice swords hard..."

He was a little speechless. He was only in the book when he was ten years old. Before the age of ten, he didn't like to practice martial arts at all. The foundation was a mess, and he made up for it after the age of ten.

But Zhou Zhou still wanted to say it.

Zhou Zhou: "Become number one in the arena at the age of fifteen!"

Jiang Su: "...I'm not even number one in the rivers and lakes right now."

There are so many seniors of the sect, but he still has a clear sect leader that he has never defeated.

The old man has not yet come out of his retreat. He wanted to be the number one in the rivers and lakes, but he had no chance at all.

Zhou Zhou thought about it for a while, and then said, "Mr. Storyteller also said that Jiang Shaoxia is not only high in martial arts, but also the number one beauty in the arena.

Jiang Su: "..."

He could not refute this.

But is this something to be praised for? In this river and lake, so many chivalrous men have broken sleeves, why did Mr. Storyteller hire the hospital to collapse

Before Zhou Zhou could finish his words, Li Hanshan, who was riding on the side, had already looked at him coldly, his eyes were as sharp as a blade, making Zhou Zhou tremble with fear, but he didn't know what he said wrong.

But he shrank back into the carriage, but insisted on continuing to speak.

"Mr. Storyteller said, Jiang Shaoxia, you are the first person in this world for thousands of years!" Zhou Zhou mentioned this matter and became even more excited, "The first beauty plus the first swordsman, Jiang Shaoxia, you are amazing!"

Jiang Su: "...I said, he's talking nonsense."

Zhou Zhou seemed to have never heard of it at all, clutching his heart full of joy, and hurriedly said: "I have admired you since I was a child!"

Jiang Su: "..."

Li Hanshan: "..."

Li Hanshan finally couldn't help his anger in his heart, and was about to attack Zhou Zhou, but Jiang Su had already opened his mouth and asked Zhou Zhou, "Zhou Kuai, how old are you?"

Zhou Zhou was startled and replied, "Twenty-four."

"Have you admired me since childhood?" Jiang Su raised his eyebrows, "I'm younger than you."

Zhou Zhou: "…"

Zhou Zhou opened his eyes wide and couldn't believe it.

Jiang Su raised his hand again, pointed to Li Hanshan beside him, and said, "He is also younger than you."

Zhou Zhou: "Huh?"

Zhou Zhou didn't understand why Jiang Su brought up this passerby he had never noticed before. He turned his head to look at Li Hanshan, but happened to meet Li Hanshan's icy gaze again. He had to withdraw his gaze immediately, feeling a little nervous.

"Look, people younger than you are better than you in martial arts." Jiang Su said, "and you? What do you do when you are free?"

Zhou Zhou: "I..."

"If you have time to talk nonsense here, it's better to read your own mind." Jiang Su asked again, "What school are you from?"

Zhou Zhou lowered his head in shame: "I don't have any sect, and my martial arts are taught by the chief arresting officer."

Jiang Su thought about the chief arrester of Six Gates. He was born in Wan Daotang, uses a sword, and his martial arts are not bad. He raised his eyebrows and said to Zhou Zhou: "You are full of storytellers, are you worthy of your general arrests? !"

Zhou Zhou was even more ashamed, and murmured in a low voice, "I was wrong."

Jiang Su: "Don't go take out the saber record and have a look!"

But Zhou Zhou didn't have a knife manual at hand.

His belongings are still in the inn in the county seat. Of course, he also kept things like swords in his luggage and did not carry them with him.

Jiang Su hated that iron could not become steel.

"You don't even carry this kind of knife with you." Jiang Su raised his eyebrows, pointed to the luggage in the house, and said, "There are pen and paper in it, take it out, and write it now!" Zhou Zhou lay on his back in the carriage, He carefully wrote the knife score, and Jiang Su breathed a sigh of relief. He turned to see Li Hanshan looking at him, and he just smiled and didn't say anything else.

Li Hanshan felt very uncomfortable.

He felt that Jiang Su should also have seen that Zhou Zhou was a little bit strange to him, so he deliberately talked about these words with Zhou Zhou.

That is to say, Jiang Su actually... It can be seen that others have ambiguous feelings towards him.

Li Hanshan was not happy.

He was silent all the way, and when he entered the county town and outside the inn, he saw Sheng Hechen waiting in the lobby of the inn. Seeing a few of them coming here, he hurriedly greeted them and said, "Su'er, it's a rough job like chasing a horse. , how can I let you do it?"

Jiang Su frowned and said, "I can drive the horse and do it easily, what's wrong?"

Sheng Hechen was eager to help Jiang Su to dismount, and then went to pick up the reins in Jiang Su's hands. Jiang Su did not notice for a while, but he actually took the reins over.

Zhou Zhou stuck his head out of the carriage with his own handwritten knife score, and he was grinning stupidly. Jiang Su sighed and introduced them to the two of them, saying: " Brother Sheng, this is the six-door Zhou Zhukuai."

Sheng Hechen smiled, and before he could speak, Zhou Zhou hurriedly said: "Meng Sheng! Are you the Sheng alliance leader!"

Sheng Hechen was taken aback by his enthusiasm, still holding the reins in his hand, nodded and said, "I am."

"Ah!" Zhou Zhou exclaimed excitedly, "Master Sheng! I admire you very much!"

Sheng Hechen: "... ah?"

Jiang Su: "..."

Li Hanshan: "..."

Zhou Zhou was so excited that he hurriedly got off the carriage, feeling that today was the happiest day in his life.

He took a few deep breaths, grabbed Sheng Hechen and confided all the stories he had heard from Mr. Storyteller, Sheng Hechen had never seen someone so enthusiastic about him, so he could only nod his head and said politely, "Zhou Zhuo is so polite. ."

Zhou Zhou wanted to say more, the proprietress in the inn had already come over, and seeing that they had horses and carriages, she couldn't help but look embarrassed, and said, "This guest, this... The slave family can't drive horses, so you can trouble the guest to send Take the carriage to the backyard?"

Jiang Su frowned and asked, "Where are the others in the inn?"

Speaking of this, the proprietress couldn't help lowering her head. She couldn't hide the worry and pain in her eyes for a while, but she still forced a smile and said, "My man went to the mountain temple some time ago to pay homage... Then the guy went up the mountain to find him..."

Jiang Su has understood.

He sighed and was about to speak, when Li Hanshan grabbed his words once, before he could speak, turned his head and said to Sheng Hechen: "Then I will trouble the Sheng Alliance Lord."

Sheng Hechen: "..."

Sheng Hechen couldn't help but startled, then lowered his head and looked at the reins in his hands.

He just snatched the reins from Jiang Su's hands, but... With his identity, there is no reason for him to drive the horse.

Sheng Hechen raised his head, saw Zhou Zhou's innocent face, and said, "I'm sorry, Alliance Leader Sheng, I won't."

Li Hanshan answered decisively, "Neither would I."

Sheng Hechen: "..."

Jiang Su coughed and said, "I'll come."

Sheng Hechen pushed Jiang Su's hand away.

"Su'er, I said, how can you do this kind of rough work?" Sheng Hechen barely kept a smile on his face, but he couldn't use an eye knife to slash Li Hanshan who was rushing to speak. " I'll come."

Jiang Su: "… Ye Xun!

So Zhou Zhou got off the carriage, Sheng Hechen took the reins and was about to get into the carriage, but Li Hanshan handed him the reins of his horse.

"Problem Sheng Alliance Lord." Li Hanshan said sincerely, "Thank you, drop by."

Sheng Hechen: "..."
