Chapter 234

When people sleep when they are extremely sleepy, they often feel that they just closed their eyes and the night passed.

Shen Yuexi is like this.

She felt that she just closed her eyes, and when she opened them again, the rain outside the window had stopped.A faint light fell on the wall through the half-closed window.This is the light of dawn, the dawn is coming.

Xiao Zhuo was not on the bed.Her clothes were neatly folded beside the pillow.

It was like this after being with Xiao Zhuo, every time she woke up, Xiao Zhuo had already gotten up.Shen Yuexi felt that this reflected the fact that she was a lazy cat from a certain aspect.

There is no possibility of rebuttal.

After a long stretch, she felt that her whole body was sore, her feet hurt, her legs were sore, her waist was weak, and her chest was uncomfortable.

It hurts where it should hurt, and it hurts where it shouldn't hurt.Fortunately, it's not the kind of sick pain, but the kind of muscle soreness after intense exercise.

Thinking about yesterday's jolting on the horse for so long, being drenched in the rain for so long, and being under Xiao Zhuo's back, with pancakes on top being tossed and turned for so long, it's normal to feel this way now.

She got up and put on her clothes, stood at the window, biting the hair tie, and pulled her hair back with her hands.

At this time, she saw Xiao Zhuo's back.

The view from this room is very good, and you can have a panoramic view of the streets of the entire Obor Town.

With the help of the weak light, she saw that Xiao Zhuo was standing, which was the place where she and Mei Dai had decided to bury Mape.A tomb has been erected there.

After tying up her hair, she opened the door and went down the stairs, out of the inn, and came to Xiao Zhuo's side.

In front of Mape's tomb stands a tombstone carved from a stone slab.Although it was still dark, Shen Yuexi could still see the words engraved on it.

"Old brother...the son of the Prince of Xiliang..." She was not familiar with the ancient characters, so she was stuttering.

Xiao Zhuo patted her on the back lightly, and said: "I didn't expect to meet Mei Pu here. At first I thought it was someone's prank, but after reading the inscription, I realized that it was Concubine Xian who set it up."

"This is indeed the tomb of Prince Mei. When Sister Mei and I came here, I was in a hurry to go back to find you," Shen Yuexi held Xiao Zhuo's arms in both hands, "Sister Mei said to bury her brother here first. Wait until the war subsides , she will come to move the tomb again."

"Concubine Xian," Xiao Zhuo nodded slowly, "she is truly a remarkable woman."

"Yeah, Sister Mei is really pitiful." Shen Yuexi leaned her head on Xiao Zhuo's arm, "Her parents passed away, and her brother died in front of her, but she persisted. By the way, husband, don't you Do you blame Prince Mei?"

If it wasn't for Meipu's betrayal, Qiu Liming and the others would be able to defend Nanping.Xiao Beiheng couldn't cut off Xiao Zhuo's retreat.

Although the second prince's army supported Yongwei, with Xiao Zhuo's supernatural power, Xiao Kai's 20 Jingzhou army was beaten to pieces by him. The extra tens of thousands of reinforcements would at most delay the date of the annihilation of the entire army.

She could absolutely say that Maple's decision influenced the entire situation of the battle.

"I don't blame him," Xiao Zhuo shook his head, "If I were Mei Pu, I would do the same. I value fame more than him, and it is impossible to hand over the foundation of the Mei family to someone who doesn't even know his background. "

"What about now?" Shen Yuexi asked.Does Xiao Zhuo still pay attention to fame as before?

As soon as the words fell, she felt Xiao Zhuo's body tense up suddenly.

"Yuexi, someone is here." Xiao Zhuo said softly.

Shen Yuexi was not as vigilant as Xiao Zhuo, her nerve reaction was a little slower.Hearing Xiao Zhuo's warning, he quickly looked around.

The sound of Tutu's hooves stepping through the mud was very clear in the quiet streets of Lusheng Town.

The morning sun that was gradually brightening in the east passed through the entire street, illuminating an old man with white beard and hair.He was wearing a rain hat, a straw hat over his back, and a sword at his waist. He was sitting on a tall maroon horse and came slowly from the west.

Shen Yuexi instinctively felt the danger.

Old man, like woman, is synonymous with weakness.In this wilderness, an old man walking alone is almost as amazing as a woman walking alone.

In her impression, only a brave woman like Mei Dai dared to walk alone in this dark night.Now the old man has done the same.No need to guess, this old man must have two brushes.

She dodged behind Xiao Zhuo, tremblingly said: "Husband, he is here to hunt us down."

She and Xiao Zhuo were the only two living people in the entire Wusheng Town, and the other party obviously didn't come to chat with them.

Xiao Zhuo said: "Yue Xi, you stand aside first."

Asking Shen Yuexi to stand aside, Xiao Zhuo faced the old man's horse's head, lifted his hem, knelt in the mud, clasped his fists with both hands and raised his forehead, and said:
"teacher."

Shen Yuexi was dumbfounded on the spot.

It turned out that this white-haired old man was actually Xiao Zhuo's teacher.Then this old man should be some kind of prince, Taifu, Shaofu or something like that?
The white-haired old man stopped the horse, first glanced at Xiao Zhuo, then at Shen Yuexi who was standing not far away, and said:

"I'm here to kill you, why are you kneeling down?"

"The teacher's dignity, the disciple dare not lose." Xiao Zhuo raised his head, looked at the sword on the white-haired old man's waist, and said, "Teacher, Xiao Beiheng asked you to come?"

The white-haired old man jumped off the horse and said with a smile: "It seems that your spirit has recovered. Before the old man said it, you have already understood everything."

"The disciple once fought with the owner of this sword, so he recognized it at a glance." Xiao Zhuo said truthfully.

The two were chatting there, while Shen Yuexi watched anxiously.

Xiao Zhuo is also true, since he knows that the other party is here to kill him, regardless of whether he is a teacher or something, it is better to strike first.Before the old man drew his sword, he slapped it with his palm.Back then Xiao Beiheng was so young and energetic, he was defeated by Xiao Zhuo's palm.Now patting this old man is not the same as patting a fly.

"Yue Xi, come here." Xiao Zhuo stood up and turned to greet her.

Shen Yuexi was a little hesitant, don't go by yourself, he will draw his sword and make a move.But looking at Xiao Zhuo's appearance, he was not at all worried that the white-haired old man would make a move.She gritted her teeth secretly and let the past pass.

"This is my swordsmanship teacher, Ji Zhong." Xiao Zhuo first introduced the old man's identity to her.

"I've met Mr. Ji." Shen Yuexi bowed to the old man and bowed.I thought to myself that this old man is Xiao Zhuo's swordsmanship teacher, that would be troublesome, Xiao Zhuo is still wounded, although the other party is old, but his back is straight and his movements are agile, he is not a good person.

Ji Zhong nodded slightly in response, and Xiao Zhuo introduced her to the old man again: "Teacher, this is my wife, Shen Yuexi."

"Okay, you have fulfilled the disciple's courtesy, that's enough," Ji Zhong walked towards the square in the center of Wusheng Town with his hands behind his back, "Take your sword, I have never killed an unarmed person in my life."

Shen Yuexi could hear the cold on the soles of his feet, this old man is too confident.I feel that Xiao Zhuo's self-confidence is somewhat similar to his. Could it be that this old man taught Xiao Zhuo's self-confidence?

"Yuexi, find a sword for my husband," Xiao Zhuo turned to her and said, "I want to compete with the teacher."

After finishing speaking, Xiao Zhuo followed Ji Zhong and walked towards the square.
