Chapter 14 Abduction
Chapter 14 Abduction
Are you getting married?This is not a bad thing, at least it can strengthen the cooperation between the two.
Although they are friends, he doesn't trust Ling Xiao, or in other words, he won't easily trust anyone or anything related to the safety and interests of Baiyun City.
What's more, this business is too important. If it is done well, it will naturally bring huge wealth to Baiyun City, and even hold half of the country's economic lifeline in a few years. A big step.However, as he said, there is no such thing as a free lunch in the world, and there are absolute risks behind the huge benefits. If he is not careful, Baiyun City will be destroyed in his hands.
And the key to the success or failure of this deal is definitely in Ling Xiao's hands. Once he betrays, Baiyun City will be doomed forever.Personally, he may be willing to trust this friend who has been with him for several years, but his identity absolutely does not allow him to entrust the fate of a city to outsiders.
Maybe a marriage would be the best choice for each other, but does he really want to agree?This is too unfair to Gucheng, he is still so young!
Ye Fengdao was silent for a long time, unable to make a decision.
Ling Xiao didn't urge him, but just said lightly, "I will never marry a wife and have children in my life, and I will never accept other disciples. Axue will be my only apprentice, and everything about me will belong to him. "
Ye Fengdao was moved, and it would be a lie to say that he was not moved, but he still said with a dull face: "I still need to ask Gucheng about this matter."
Ling Xiao smiled gently. He knew that although the other party was still stubborn, his heart had been shaken, and everything was slowly developing according to his plan.
As soon as Ye Gucheng entered the room, two eyes were cast on him straightly, one was deep and the other was smiling, although they were different, they were both full of pressure.He clenched the sword in his hand uncomfortably, and saluted respectfully: "Father, Mr. Ling."
"Yes." Ye Fengdao responded in a low voice, and said, "I asked you to come here because I want to ask you about something."
Ye Gucheng straightened his back and looked at him seriously with clear eyes.
Facing such gazes, Ye Fengdao coughed lightly, but for some reason, he couldn't continue speaking.
Ling Xiao glanced at him with a half-smile, then walked up to the child, squatted down and said, "Do you still remember the apprentice I told you about swordsmanship this morning?"
Ye Gucheng looked at him suspiciously, then nodded.
Ling Xiao smiled more gently, and the shallow dimples seemed to drip water, "So, what if I betroth my apprentice to you?"
Ye Gucheng's eyes widened all of a sudden, and he subconsciously looked at his father.
Ye Fengdao's expression was indescribably complicated. He said in a deep voice, "I will leave this matter to you to decide. If you don't want to, father will never force you."
Ye Gucheng seemed to realize something, his back straightened even more, and his voice was clear and loud, "I am willing!"
Ling Xiao patted him on the shoulder and smiled: "That's good! Your swordsmanship is very good, and Axue is also obsessed with swordsmanship. I believe you will be able to talk very well."
"Axue? Her name is Axue?" Ye Gucheng asked in surprise.
"Yeah, my apprentice Xiaozi Axue, what's the matter?" Ling Xiao asked with narrowed eyes.
Ye Gucheng quickly shook his head, the Axue in the dream was his secret, even his father didn't know about it, he didn't want to share it with anyone.
Ye Fengdao, with his back on his back, quietly looked at the back that seemed to have grown up all of a sudden, with complicated eyes.
The human mind is really complicated!Ling Xiao concealed a sarcastic arc. He had clearly made a decision to trade his son's happiness for the highest benefit, but he still wanted to regret it hypocritically. Should he be called a fake?
But for his purpose, Ling Xiao still said, "If brother Fengdao believes in me, you can let the young city master come with me, let the two children meet and get along with each other, what do you think?"
For this suggestion, Ye Fengdao only hesitated for a moment, and then agreed.This will not only allow Gucheng to have a clear understanding of his future wife, but also cultivate some feelings for each other. He can also use this trip to learn more. He believes that Ling Xiao will be a good teacher.
The blue sky was cloudless, the breeze was blowing, and the bright sun was pouring down.People coming and going on the street, and the bustling noise constitute a prosperous and prosperous picture scroll of mortals.
Ximen Chuuxue was sitting quietly under the eaves of a room rubbing his stomach, his hair was disheveled, and his snow-white clothes were stained, which made him, who always loves cleanliness, frown in disgust.
Generally speaking, his current image is very embarrassing. If it weren't for his black eyebrows, fair and handsome face, and always straight back, someone would throw copper coins at him with pity.
He tightly held the white jade sword wrapped in cloth strips in his hand - in view of the value of the white jade sword and the thieves who had patronized him again and again - he had to take some measures to hide the white jade short sword, That's how it got to the present safe and sound.
As for the white wolf, he let it go back before entering the city. The outside world is different from what he imagined. In Ping'an Town, he can ride the white wolf around unscrupulously. Sit a white wolf.But once outside, everyone who sees the white wolf will be scared to death. Occasionally, when passing by some villages, the villagers in the village will chase and beat them with sticks and hoes. Fortunately, the white wolf runs fast!But in this way, he naturally didn't dare to bring the white wolf into the city again.
These are small things, the most important thing is that his stomach is so hungry!
He has never been out of Ping An Town, but he is not ignorant, at least he knows that he needs to bring money when he goes out.But he never thought that there are creatures like thieves out there (the tail of Ling Xiao, the ancestor of the thief, is about to rot!).He kept the white jade sword, but he didn't keep the package he was carrying, so that he hadn't eaten for a day.
His flat stomach rumbled and sang empty city tricks. Not only was his money stolen, but he was also humiliated.
After he came out of Ping'an Town three days ago, he went directly to Baoxian Mountain, which the old mayor said was the most likely place to capture Xu Baoer.
He blamed himself for Xu Baoer's disappearance. He always thought that if he went out with him, maybe things wouldn't turn out like this, so seeing Mrs. Xu's desperate look, he vowed to find Xu Baoer back.
Baoxian Mountain is a den of bandits, extremely dangerous, and naturally he, a seven-year-old child, can't trespass, even if he is Ximen Chuuxue, or the future sword god!
It's just that his luck was very good. As soon as he stepped into the range of Baoxian Mountain, the second head of the village turned against the owner of the village. Siege, flee to the south.
Originally, he wanted to take the opportunity to infiltrate the village and find out Xu Baoer's whereabouts, but the conversation of a few bandits made him dispel this idea, and followed them secretly behind the second leader.
Although the village owner in Baoxian Mountain is ruthless and murderous, the second leader is even more shameless than him. He is not only a bandit, but also a trafficker who abducts women and children.At the beginning, he was still restrained, after all, there was still a big master over his head to suppress him, but in recent years, the village master has grown old, and has lost the power of the past, the second master's ambitions have gradually grown, and various thoughts have gradually Get active, and no longer just be satisfied with the position of the second child of Wannian.It's a pity that Jiang is still old and hot, and the old village master preemptively strikes, and almost kills the defenseless second master.
Fortunately, he was cautious and left himself an extra escape route. In the early years, he set up a secret stronghold in Wancheng County not far away, specializing in the trafficking of children and women.After he escaped, he was ready to recuperate and make a comeback.
After Xiao Ximen heard the news, he thought that even if Xu Baoer was captured by these bandits, he would definitely not be in Baoxian Mountain, but imprisoned in Wancheng County.
Fortunately, Xiao Ximen's lightness kung fu is not bad, and he has a white wolf to travel, and the other party is just a layman who has a little bit of kung fu, so they have never been discovered by them all the way south.
However, since entering the city, there have been too many people coming and going, and he is not familiar with this place, so he lost the other party if he didn't pay attention.
He was very remorseful, but there was nothing he could do. For the first time in his life, he didn't know what to do.Should I go back first?Maybe wait for the master to come back?
Just as he was resting his chin and thinking wildly, a well-looking young man came over. He looked around, then raised his clothes and squatted in front of him, "Little brother, why are you sitting here alone? Your lord What?" He said, reaching out to rub the other person's head.
Little Ximen tilted his head, avoiding the hand, and didn't intend to speak. He just looked at the other person quietly with a pair of black eyes, without blinking.
The young man smiled awkwardly, and then said, "My brother will play with you, okay?"
The dark eyes did not blink.
"Do you like candied haws? Brother buy it for you, okay?"
The dark eyes did not blink.
"Brother will take you to find your mother?"
......
Little Ximen couldn't bear it anymore, the corners of his red and tender lips twitched slightly where the other party couldn't see, this kind of abduction technique is really too clumsy, if he just walks with the other party like this, it will hurt his own IQ How low must that be!
However, it is impossible not to go with him!
Finally, little Simon tugged on his sleeve, and said with a paralyzed face, "I'm hungry!"
The other party jumped up all of a sudden, it could be called dancing, he said again and again: "Okay, my brother will take you to dinner, eat a lot of delicious food."
Xiao Ximen paused slightly when he stood up, and the man hurriedly asked, "What's wrong?"
The half-grown child looked at him quietly, and asked after a long time, "Is there any sweet-scented osmanthus cake?"
The man breathed a sigh of relief, "Yes, yes, there must be sweet-scented osmanthus cake!"
Two figures, one tall and one short, gradually disappeared into the crowd.
