If you don't give up, I'd like to be your adoptive father.

Chapter 97: Driving a Feather Wheel (for the leader "Book Friend 160322003002867")
"Who are you and why are you burning a fire on the roof?"

Before Xiao Yu had the chance to ask "Double Gun General" Chen Taiping and Five Thunders and Eight Trigrams Heavenly Master Fu, a loud shout came from behind, and then a cold star tore through the dark sky and flew towards the back of her head.

Xiao Yu sighed softly, waved his sword, and said, "Nail!"

The steel-tipped arrow hit the tip of the sword, splashing a few sparks, and no one knew where it flew to.

"There is an unidentified mysterious master here, archers, get ready!"

"I'm not a bad person. My yard is narrow, so I barbecue on the roof." Xiaoyu shouted.

As she shouted, she picked up the stove and prepared to jump into the yard.

She is not afraid of one archer, but she is confident that she can protect her bottles and jars against three or five archers.

But for a group of crossbowmen, although the crossbows and bows and arrows sound similar, their powers are completely different, because crossbowmen do not get tired, and the power of crossbows is also terrifyingly great.

"Master Zhang, that young lady is indeed not a bad person. It is true that she knows martial arts, but she is also a local resident. I can vouch for her."

Xiaoyu raised his head and looked behind him. There were several torches lit in the distant yard. An old man who looked like a wealthy man was talking to soldiers in full armor.

"Since Mr. Wang vouched for her, it must be a misunderstanding. Put away your bows and crossbows and continue searching for suspicious people."

Lord Zhang gave an order to the soldiers in the yard, and then shouted in Xiaoyu's direction: "Stay at home and wait for the Imperial Guards to come and check. Don't do anything surprising again."

"I heard it." Xiaoyu responded and jumped back to the yard with the stove.

"You almost ruined my good soup!"

After rearranging the stove, Xiao Yu asked, "What is the Five Thunders and Eight Trigrams Heavenly Master Talisman?"

"I'm not sure, it's just a guess." Hongqi shook her head.

Xiao Yu said: "Being certain is one thing, and I am curious about the Five Thunders and Eight Diagrams Heavenly Master Talisman is another."

"Do you know the Li family of Western Shu?" Hongqiu asked.

"The Li family is a royal family and is deeply trusted by the Qin State. They guard the west for the Qin State." Xiao Yu said.

Hong Qi laughed sarcastically and said, "It is true that the Li family has a mission to disrupt the situation in the West and prevent any vassal state in the Xisha region from becoming bigger and stronger. But if you want to say that the tyrannical Qin trusts..."

"Well, just talk about the Heavenly Master Talisman. I'm not interested in your grudges and hatreds." Xiao Yu said.

Hong Qi said: "After Qin conquered the ancient Shu, Ba, Hanzhong and other kingdoms, they exiled all the royal families and nobles of those ancient kingdoms to the Liusha region in the west.

Today's Li family of Western Shu is the descendant of the ancient Shu king.

But at that time, almost all the male members of the Li family in Shu Kingdom died in the war, leaving only a legitimate princess.

The King of Qin then let one of his legitimate sons marry her.

So it can be said that the Li family also has the blood of the Qin Emperor in their bodies.

The prince of Qin State did not marry into the Li family empty-handed, he brought with him a Five Thunders and Eight Trigrams Heavenly Master Talisman.

Building a country from scratch, traveling tens of thousands of miles away from home, in the wilds of the West will encounter countless difficulties. The most terrifying and difficult difficulty to solve is not the hardships of the journey, but the plague of monsters.

Especially the big monster!
A big monster can swallow up hundreds of thousands of people in a county in one gulp."

Xiao Yu's mind moved, "Can the Five Thunders and Eight Diagrams Heavenly Master Talisman suppress the big monster?"

Hong Qi said: "It can't be considered suppression, but it can intimidate the big monsters and make them dare not invade Shu, especially dare not go to Luodu to run wild.

In recent years, even a country as powerful as our Lu State has suffered from repeated massacres by evil spirits, but Shu State has never been invaded by any big evil spirit.

It can be said that the Heavenly Master Talisman is the most precious treasure of Western Shu. "

Xiao Yu murmured, “If the Heavenly Master Talisman can have such a miraculous effect, and the Thousand-Handed Thief Saint steals it, he can take revenge on Shu and make the Qin envoys uncomfortable.

But how could such an important thing be stolen? "

"I'm just making a wild guess. There are countless precious treasures in the Shu King's Palace. They don't even need to be too valuable. As long as Uncle Erbu shows up, it will be worth it for General Chen Taiping to lead people to search for him personally." Hong Qi sighed.

“Bang, bang, bang!” Someone knocked on the courtyard door, and at the same time, Ziying called out, “Sister Fengxian, Sister Hongqi, are you all right?”

"We're fine, what's going on out there?"

Xiaoyu opened the door and let her in.

At this moment, there was also a lot of noise in Hongxiufang.

"I'm not sure, I just heard that some thief stole the king's treasure, and the soldiers were searching everywhere!
Aunt Liu asked me to inform you to stay in Xiaojingxuan and don't move. No matter what happens, don't leave the hospital tonight."

After saying that, Ziying looked dazed as she stared into the distance at the front yard where there was a lot of noise.

Hongqiu also stared at the gate of the courtyard with a look of deep concern.

Xiaoyu didn't care and drank her soup leisurely.

Before finishing the bone-strengthening soup, Aunt Liu personally led the two female swordsmen to Xiaojingxuan.

The female swordsmen were all in their early twenties, with their hair tied up in a high ponytail, wearing short grey and white clothes, with long swords hanging from their waists, looking very capable and heroic.

After they came in, they stared at Xiaoyu and Hongqiu carefully, checked the yard and the cottage carefully, and then left silently.

"Okay, go to bed early."

Aunt Liu was also dressed in a capable manner, with the sword she threw away in the afternoon hanging around her waist.

"What precious treasure did the king lose?" Xiao Yu leaned over and asked.

"I don't know. Don't ask." Aunt Liu waved her hand and pulled Ziying away.

"Oh, let's go to sleep." Xiaoyu took off his coat and jumped into the pool.

"You slept in the pool? Didn't you go back to bed last night?" Hongqiu asked.

"There's only one bed in the room, and no place to sleep."

Hong Qi said, "There was only one bed. You slept on one end and I slept on the other. I even put a pillow there for you."

"Then wash your feet. I was planning to go back and take a nap last night, but not only did you not wash your feet, you were also wearing thick cloth socks that stunk!" Xiaoyu said with a look of disgust.

Hongqi blushed and shouted, "Nonsense, how can it smell? Besides, don't you wear enough clothes when you sleep?"

Xiao Yu said: "Even though I am a barbarian, I always wash my hands, face and teeth before going to bed. If conditions permit, it is best to take a bath.

After taking a shower, change into a clean set of pajamas.

You are a lady from a prime minister's mansion, but you don't wash your feet. Oh my god, you are so sloppy."

Hongqiu pointed at her, her arms and voice shaking with anger, "You actually said I was sloppy, you ignorant savage, you insult me ​​too much, you insult me ​​too much, I'm so angry!"

"You stifled me with your feet and you still had the nerve to get angry. I should be the one to yell 'I'm so angry'."

Hongqiu broke through her defense and shouted repeatedly: "Barbarians, barbarians, ignorant and stupid barbarians!" Xiaoyu gave her the middle finger and dived into the pool in a cool manner.

Hongqiu cursed for a while before returning to the house in a bad mood.

She took off her clothes, sat on the bed, spread her feet and smelled them for a while.

Although she still didn't think it smelled bad, she hesitantly put on her shoes, picked up the teapot, walked into the yard, looked around, and came to the pool and began to wash her feet with the tea that would be left overnight.

"Hey, what are you doing?" Xiaoyu emerged from the water, pinched her nose, and stepped away from him, shouting, "Oh my God, so dirty, so disgusting!"

"Sha Manyu, don't go too far!"

Hongqiu's eyes were blazing with anger, and she wished she could take the teapot and smash it on the dripping head.

"I went too far? You splashed me with foot washing water, and you still say I went too far? Dou Yilin's daughter, you are so rude."

Hongqiu finally couldn't bear it anymore. Instead of hitting Xiaoyu with the teapot, she threw herself out and flew towards Xiaoyu.

"Pfft!"

Xiaoyu didn't tolerate her either. She moved sideways and grabbed her hair and pushed it down.

Hongqiu was no match for her at all. She buried her head in the water and flapped her hands and feet around, splashing water everywhere, but she could not struggle up.

Xiaoyu let her go only after she gulped down several gulps of water.

"Cough, cough, cough" Hongqiu lay on the stone steps and coughed violently, causing saliva, snot and tears to flow together.

In her entire life, there had never been a day when she felt as wronged as she did at that moment.

If it weren't for Xiaoyu's contemptuous laughter beside her, she would have almost cried out loud.

"I want to practice, stop harassing me."

Xiaoyu didn't want to go too far and dived into the water again.

Hongqiu took a while to calm down, rubbed her feet together quietly, deliberately washed her feet, and then climbed out of the pool.

The next day, Tianmen Town was under martial law and Hongxiufang was closed and no longer open for business.

However, Lixiangyuan's teaching did not stop.

Because the shop was not open, the aunts added a class in the afternoon.

Xiaoyu used the spacious space of Lixiang Garden to practice sword for an entire afternoon, and received cheers and awe from countless girls and "daughters".

At that time, several sword girls expressed their desire to learn sword from her.

"Don't be in a hurry. Wait until my aunt and I visit the senior who has mastered the Nine Flower Sword and gain some insights. Then we will teach you the Nine Flower Sword." Xiaoyu accepted everyone's request to learn from him, but he did not start teaching immediately.

She made it clear from the beginning that if she was to be taught swordsmanship, one had to either bring his own sword manual or choose from the "Ghost Shadow Grasping Hands", "Flower Butterfly Steps", "Iron Armor Fist" and "Flying Star Knife" given by Xu Dahao and others.

Since they don't have any sword manuals themselves and they specifically want to learn the "Nine Flower Sword", they can only wait.

"Where are the red carp in the pond?" After a day of cold war, Hongqiu took the initiative to talk to Xiaoyu.

Moreover, her expression was very calm, without any hesitation, and her tone was also very flat, as if the conflict last night had never happened.

Xiaoyu looked at her in surprise, "Aren't there two more?"

"What about the others?"

"I threw it away a long time ago. You're right, if there are too many fish, the pond will smell fishy."

Hong Qi nodded gently, "Very good! From today on, I will also use the pool water to bathe."

"I want to practice martial arts, you fetch water and take a bath by yourself."

After a pause, Xiaoyu looked down at her embroidered shoes again, "Think about it, I can't even stand your stinky socks, how can I stand your filth flowing into the pool?"

Hong Qi's angry eyes seemed to be emitting small sparks, "Why do you have to go to the pond to practice when you can't practice anywhere else?"

"I'm Shaman. I've lived by the Flowing Sand River since I was a child. I like water. What's wrong?"

Hong Qi said sullenly, "The pool is very big."

"No matter how big the pool is, it can't contain all the dirt on your body!"

Hongqiu couldn't stand it anymore and turned around and ran out of the yard.

After a while, she came back panting, carrying half a bucket of water.

On the third day, Tianmen Town finally returned to normal.

There were few pedestrians on the street, and even fewer vendors setting up stalls, but there were many patrolling yamen runners and soldiers.

Xiaoyu in the carriage still felt that everything was new and new, and no matter how much she looked out the window, she still felt it was not enough.

"Hehe, you've never seen such a prosperous town, right? Goods from all over the world are gathered here, everything is available." Aunt Liu smiled proudly and said, "The beggars in our Tianmen Town are more knowledgeable and blessed than the masters in other places."

"Aunt, what I see is not prosperity at all, but freedom and ease! The food and accommodation in Hongxiufang are not bad, but we can't go out. It's like a cage and it makes people uncomfortable." Xiaoyu did not hide his feelings and spoke the truth.

"Free and easy, huh? Except for the gods, who in this world can be truly free and easy?" Aunt Liu sneered.

"For me, if I can go out for a stroll every now and then, I'll be as free as a god." Xiaoyu said.

Aunt Liu glanced at her and said, "Wait a few more months, until the Qin envoys leave and the unrest in the Thirty-Six Kingdoms is completely quelled. I can even arrange for you to follow Shaoyao and see the world."

"Who is the envoy from Great Qin? Marquis Lieyang?" Xiao Yu asked.

"Xu~~~~"

As soon as the voice fell, the carriage stopped suddenly, and the driver lowered his voice and shouted nervously: "Aunt Liu, it seems that something big happened at the front door."

"What's the matter?" Aunt Liu lifted the chain, looked forward, and exclaimed: "Xiao Fengxian, what are you talking about? You said Lieyang Hou, Lieyang Hou is here."

Marquis Lieyang did not come for them.

At the crossroads ahead, there was a group of sturdy Shu knights standing in formation to block off a wide road. The Fire Crow Army's iconic "five-foot-tall Qin giants" led the way, and Marquis Lieyang's troops walked silently towards the east of the city.

"What is this for? Oh, what's that in the sky? An airship? A spaceship?"

Xiaoyu looked left and right and saw many familiar faces in the Fire Crow Army.

Then the sky above suddenly darkened, and six "flying carriages" appeared above Tianmen Town as if teleporting.

The carriage was of a strange style, about ten meters long and more than two meters wide, with four windmill-like wheels on the lower sides.

The "blades" of the windmill are colorful feathers. The feathers are extremely large, wider than the palm and three or four meters long.

"This is 'Kunlun Racing'. Marquis Lieyang is going back to Daqin. Why choose this time?" Aunt Liu said with a serious expression.
