It doesn't matter what the lord is.

I naturally wouldn't tell her that her low hit rate wasn't entirely her fault, but more importantly, my technique was unique. When I was in Lingyun City, I was a frequent visitor to the casino, and I could get any number I wanted when rolling the dice, so I was naturally skilled in it. Otherwise, if an ordinary person were to throw stones, Alaya would hit eight out of ten.

Now, she could only hit seven or eight stones in a whole day.

In the end, I had thrown all the stones on the ground, so I had to pick up the stones I had thrown and throw them again.

In the evening, Alayya's clothes were not yet dry, but they were already hot from sweat. I untied the handkerchief covering her eyes, and Alayya knelt on one knee with the sword in her hand, her face full of pain.

Rather than the one-day dark experience card, the repeated failures were the main reason for her despair.

I looked at Alayya and didn't try to comfort her. I just packed my things and said:

"gone back."

Alayya followed me in shame, the scene seemed familiar.

This is how I have come all these years.

-------------------

I sorted out the plot today and will give you a new update tomorrow.

27. The Sword That Can Be Blocked and the Sword That Cannot Be Blocked

After the last attempt to burn the grain and grass failed, the assassin lay in wait in Yuxi City.

Although I don't know exactly where she lives, it's obvious that she has lost the desire to cause trouble recently.

Thanks to her, I also had time to help Alayya complete her special training these days.

Although it was inhumane to hit her with a rock, it was an effective method. After three days, Alayya's hit rate rose to about 50%. The price was that she was wrapped in bandages all over her body and a piece of gauze was stuck on her right face. However, I used different strengths, so it still hurt, but it would not leave scars.

However, three days later, no matter how much she trained, Alayya's hit rate could only be maintained at around 50%.

Training like this would not be very effective, so I pulled Heji over to practice with Alaya. Both of them used bamboo swords, and Alaya was blindfolded. The rule was that if Alaya could block Heji's sword, she would get one point, and if she was hit in the body, she would lose one point. As for Heji, he didn't need to suppress his realm, but he had to control his strength and not use too much force.

The reason I don't let him suppress his realm is that I hope his swordsmanship will be more ethereal and unpredictable. The reason I don't let him use heavy hands is that I'm afraid I won't be able to help but hit him when he hits Alayya.

Heji kept saying for a long time "this is an unfair victory", but when he really picked up the sword, his expression was very serious.

He has always been serious about kendo.

Alayya held the sword with both hands, frowned, and focused all her attention on identifying the sound.

Then, he was beaten to a pulp by Heji. Thinking about it carefully, there was nothing that could be done. Heji had already achieved the sixth level of perfection in the way of swordsmanship, and Alaya couldn't beat him even if she used all her strength. Now that he was blindfolded, it was like cutting off one of his arms. It would be strange if the situation wasn't one-sided.

But I think this kind of training is very meaningful.

Because whether it was Heji or Alayya, when facing the assassin, weren't they also standing on the weak side to fight? People can't play in an advantageous situation all their lives. They have to learn how to deal with the unfavorable situation. They can't just surrender when they see that the opponent is stronger than themselves. People like that will never see the peak scenery in their lives.

Alayah is far from Heggie now, but I hope she can remember this feeling.

In the whole afternoon, Alayya lost thousands of points and only hit Heji's sword three times.

By the evening, I could no longer bear to watch it, so I stepped forward and said:

"Alaya, forget it."

As luck would have it, Heji swung his sword at me, and Alayya dodged it at first, but the sword ended up coming straight for my head.

"Fuck."

I screamed and was debating whether to block or not, when suddenly a bamboo sword stabbed out from the side. Alayya blocked Heji's bamboo sword with her sword, and the two swords collided with each other, and countless cracks appeared on the bamboo.

This was the fourth time that Alayya had hit Heji's sword today.

At that moment, it seemed as if countless planets were rotating behind me. Images from the origin of mankind to the rotation of various DNAs appeared alternately in my mind. Finally, all the shots turned into a flash of lightning that flashed by. Yes, I had an epiphany.

I pointed to my head and said to Heji:

"Come."

Heji obviously didn't show any mercy to me and slashed at me with a sword, but this time Alayya didn't react, and the sword hit me in the face, causing me to see black in pain. I spat out the blood in my mouth, touched my swollen cheek, and said to Heji:

"continue."

Heji swung his sword again.

At that moment, Alayya, who was blindfolded, seemed to see through Heji's swordsmanship and drew her sword in advance. The two bamboo swords collided head-on, and Alayya held her sword horizontally in front of me, just like a female leopard protecting her cubs. The momentum on her body was instantly different, forcing Heji to step back half a step before he came to his senses.

I didn't say anything either, I just pointed at myself towards Heji.

Heji changed direction and slashed at me with his sword. Alayya tightly grasped the sword in her hand and blocked it one by one. Her arm was numb and she couldn't hold the sword, so she just used her arm to block.

Heji struck out ten times with his sword, and except for the first one, none of his swords hit me.

Alayya stood in front of me, panting, and Heji looked confused.

I clapped my hands and said:

"Good job, Alayya."

Alayya gritted her teeth, still looking unhappy.

I untied the black cloth covering her eyes. Alayya first kept adapting to the light outside. As soon as she regained her vision, she took the sword and went to settle the score with Heji. I quickly hugged her waist, picked her up and put her aside, saying:

"Be good, I asked Heji to beat me, it has nothing to do with him."

Alayya clenched her fists tightly and her eyes suddenly turned red.

Even though he had suffered so many injuries in the past few days, he managed to maintain an expressionless and strong face.

Heji apologized to me helplessly and said:

"I'm sorry, I thought she could block that sword."

I wanted to drag Heji over and spank him. He was still causing trouble at this hour. Sure enough, after he said that, Alayya felt even more guilty. She held the sword tightly in one hand and the corner of her clothes with the other hand, but she refused to cry. I felt distressed when I saw this. Thinking that Alayya was only sixteen years old this year, I felt even more distressed. I hurriedly hugged her, stroked her head, and comforted her:

"It's okay, Alayya. When you grow up, I will take you to bully Bai Huang and make Heji sad."

Alayya then wiped her eyes and laughed.

I asked her seriously:

"Remember that feeling of drawing a sword in the dark?"

Alayya replied:

"Remember, Master."

I said:

"Okay. Just remember it. This is how you grow. Heji, practice with her a few more times."

After saying that, I carefully covered Alaya's eyes and stepped back. Heji scratched his head, sighed, and reluctantly stepped forward with the sword, standing in front of Alaya. Alaya adjusted her sword grip and moved her wrist. I stood at a distance and asked the two:

"Are you ready?"

Heji nodded, and Alayya also said:

"I'm ready, Master."

I say:

"Then let's get started."

As soon as he finished speaking, Heji's sword was as fast as the wind, and Alayya rushed forward with the sword. At that moment, there seemed to be an invisible fire crackling between the two of them.

Then, Alayya was hit on the head by Heji's sword, and his sword missed.

Heji swung his sword back, and Alayya attacked again, but missed again.

Among the ten swords, none of them hit the target. The accuracy was touching. It was so embarrassing that Heji stopped.

Heji slapped his forehead and said to me:

"Lord City Lord, please come here for a moment."

I stood over and Heji stabbed at my chest with a sword. Alayya instantly swung out with a sword and blocked Heji's sword.

Then Hegi thrust his sword into his belt and said:

"There is no need to practice anymore. It is getting dark and we cannot leave Lord Bai Huang alone in the city. I will take my leave now. I wish you two a life of love and happiness."

After saying this, he walked away angrily with quick steps.

Alayya took off the black cloth covering her eyes, stood in front of me holding the bamboo sword, and asked blankly:

"Master..."

I touched her head and said:

"Alaiya, you can't do this. You rely too much on me."

28. Let’s sleep together

After another two days of training, Alayya's special training came to an end.

Although the process was a bit tortuous, in the end, Alayya could hit 80% of the stones I threw. I was confident that my skills were not bad, and there were not many people who could beat me with hidden weapons, so Alayya's ability to identify the position by sound was already pretty good. In the subsequent fight with Heji, she also had about a quarter of the probability of hitting Heji's sword.

Of course, when protecting me, this probability becomes very high.

I don't know why, but Alayya told me that every time she thought about me getting hurt, her body would move involuntarily, as if she had entered a completely new state. But the strange thing is that if I was in a safe place, she couldn't feel this feeling no matter what.

I really have no idea what to do.

But it has always been like this, and we will probably be together forever, so there is no need to worry too much about this. The only thing that makes me a little regretful is that if Alaiya is given more training time, she should be able to reach a higher level, and even have the hope of breaking through the sixth level of kendo. But one day when the training was going well, I returned to the bedroom and found another note on the bedside:

"Tonight. In the City Lord's Mansion."

I thought that this assassin was most likely the kind of good girl who would raise her hand to report even when going to the toilet. It was a pity that I didn't have a red flower to reward her.

I took the note to the conference room, called Alayya, Felita, Heyue, Baihuang and Heji over, coughed, and asked:

"The assassin has sent us another challenge, asking us to fight tonight. How should we fight him?"

The reactions of the crowd were also very real.

Bai Huang was filled with righteous indignation, slammed the table, and immediately said:

"That little bastard still dares to come? I'll teach her a lesson this time! This time I'm going to set up a dragnet in the City Lord's Mansion and make sure she never comes back! Lide, where's the quilt you just sewed? Bring it to me quickly. What, you don't want to lend it to me? Then how can I set up the formation? It's obvious that public affairs are more important than personal matters now. What's there to be entangled about at this time? Look, I'm going to catch her in a trap tonight and let her know what it means to be powerful! Don't worry, I, Yunhai Baihuang, have been roaming the world for many years, and I don't know how many thieves I have caught. How can someone like her be my opponent!"

Bai Huang, who said this, is a master of martial arts, but his highest level of boxing is only the fourth level.

Alayya carefully read the note in her hand and said to me:

"Master. Alaiya will do her best to protect your safety. As long as I am by your side, I feel that I have a lot of strength. I have just received special training from you, so maybe I can win."

Alayya, who said this, had achieved the fifth level of perfection in the way of the sword.

Heji still had a sad look on his face, his fingers inserted into his soft hair, thinking for a long time before he said:

"I can't explain how I feel. I will do my best to deal with the assassin, but I still feel that the odds are against me."

Heji, who said this, is currently the most powerful fighter in Yuxi City, and has achieved perfection in the sixth level of kendo.

I looked at Bai Huang with sympathy.

The worse you are, the more you talk.

Heji's words did not give Bai Huang much of a warning, and Bai Huang still looked confident. After all, the assassin had inexplicably escaped last time, and in Bai Huang's opinion, there was really no other possibility except that she had dispatched the assassin in a good way. Xiao Huang seemed to have swelled up by two hundred pounds, and said to Heji with a puffy face:

"Heji, don't boost others' ambitions and destroy your own prestige. This time we will work together to swat this buzzing fly to death in the city lord's mansion, so as to save you from trouble later."

Heji smiled bitterly and replied:

"Yes."

He Yue, who had been silent all this time, suddenly said:

"I think the most urgent thing is to consider the assassin's target."

He took the note on the table and analyzed:

"The assassin specifically named the City Lord's Mansion as the location for tonight's operation. But we all live in the City Lord's Mansion. Although this note was placed at the head of the City Lord's bed, it cannot be used to determine that the assassin's target is the City Lord. After all, no matter who among us is assassinated, it will bring considerable negative impact to Yuxi City, making it difficult for us to expand our influence for a while."

If He Yue were assassinated, the internal affairs of Yuxi City would collapse instantly.

If Alayya or Felita were assassinated, the combat effectiveness of Yuxi City would drop rapidly.

If Bai Huang is assassinated, the situation will get out of control. The most beloved daughter of Lord Yunhai died in Yuxi City. What kind of terrible pressure will come from Yunhai at that time? I get a headache just thinking about it.

Fileta did not comment. She was so tired that she had already started dozing off on the table.

Rather, out of all people, Fileta was the one who had the most difficulty integrating into the group.
