Chapter 944 Chapter 944: Encounter on a narrow road (Part 2) [Please vote]
“Ah, ah, I remember!”
The caravan guard slapped his thigh and shouted.
“It’s Nisigong Qiu!”
“What the hell, Nisigong Qiu, they call it Gongxi Qiu!”
These caravan guards all retired from the army. They were either old or had hidden injuries and were unfit to continue fighting. In addition, Shen Tang wanted to reform the military system, so they considered retiring after repeated consideration. Some people still have relatives at home and received subsidies to return to their ancestral home to marry and have children. Some people are alone and feel the same wherever they stay, so they choose to work as guards for caravans.
Kang Guo treats veterans well.
The Royal Court has a special organization to collect intelligence on these veterans and introduce them to suitable jobs. Being a guard for a caravan has high returns, but the risks are also relatively high. If you work as a postman at a post station in various places, the pay will be relatively low, but it will be more stable and safe.
In addition to these, there are other destinations.
The most popular places for employment are departments under the Ministry of Industry.
Therefore, these guards had seen Gong Xiqiu before the formation. To be precise, they had seen Gong Xiqiu's martial courage totem and had an impression.
"...He doesn't seem to be calling Qiu, is he Qiu?"
"No, no, I won't remember it wrong..."
There is no point in arguing with several people. The unanimous answer came from the head of the caravan: "...Well, it doesn't matter what it's called. What's important is that the Gongxi Ball you talk about really wants to play ball!"
The guards were quiet for a moment, They looked at each other, and based on the tacit understanding of fighting side by side for many years, they divided their respective tasks. One person turned into a war horse on the spot: "Please protect the caravan's goods. This place is not far from Jinli County. I will come as soon as I go!"
Gong Xiqiu had the false title of general in the state of Kang.
Although he has no real power, the honored general suffered a disaster here, and the matter must be reported to the local Zhechong Mansion. They also knew that they were very weak, and it would be difficult for them to even get close. A single blow could seriously injure all of them, let alone help Gong Xiqiu get out of trouble. The only thing that can be done is to go to the local Zhechong Mansion as quickly as possible to report the news, maybe it will still be possible in time.
As soon as Yi Cheng saw the direction, he stopped him.
“Don’t take this road!”
Look at this movement, the official road ahead is going to suffer.
The guards rushed over, fearing that they would lose their lives.
"Yicheng, please show me the way."
Taking the official road is the fastest. If you take a detour, you don't know how much time will be wasted. The guard was anxious, and without waiting for Yi Cheng to show the way, a young man in red clothes walked out from among the rangers. Although he is said to be a boy, he actually has the physique of a young man. However, his clear eyes, red lips and white teeth subtly lower his age, making people judge him to be younger at first glance.
"This strong man, what do you think his name is?"
The guard wanted to scold him and tell him to go away and stop causing trouble, but the moment he met those eyes, he felt anxious inside. After being called out, he calmly said: "His name is Gong Xiqiu."
He spoke firmly and resolutely.
Unexpectedly, the commoner young man and the person next to him twitched their mouths.
Gong Xi Qiu lost his real name!
The well-dressed young man raised his head and looked at the sharp claws of the horned eagle in the distance, shrunken and embedded into the body of the giant python, tearing off a large piece of flesh and blood. The snake scales were spattered and could still be vaguely seen. The sound of twitching muscles. The giant python did not sit still and wait for death. Instead, the python's body flew out and tried to wrap around the horned eagle's neck. However, the latter flapped its wings and flew past it, narrowly passing by and exploding several bloody ink feathers. There are also two martial arts, one green and one black, using the bodies of the two giant beasts as the battlefield, erupting from time to time with terrifying explosions.
"Gongxi Qiu, Gongxi..."
The well-dressed boy murmured twice.
Following that, he turned to look at his companions and asked for confirmation: "Fourth Uncle Lin, is this person a member of the tribe who is living outside?"
He has known about the existence of Gong Xiqiu a long time ago. .
Fang Yan and Chao Lian mentioned it to themselves.
But he was still ignorant at that time. Even though Gong Xiqiu was a clansman, it meant nothing to him. Even the teacher Jimo Yu didn't care, so why should he care? Now that the teacher's merits have been fulfilled, Gong Xiqiu has become the only clan member.
Any existence with the word "only" has a special meaning, and I can't just watch from the sidelines.
Uncle Lin nodded: "Yeah."
I just didn't expect to meet him here.
Fang Yan looked at the battlefield in the distance and thought more comprehensively: "Shao Bai, Gong Xiqiu is a warlike person. We don't know whether he met an enemy or discussed things one on one and rashly Intervening may not help, but the most important thing is the formation..."
It turns out that only Gong Xiqiu was beaten.
The well-dressed boy used to be beaten together.
Chao Lian put his hand on his forehead to avoid the dazzling sunlight so that he could see more carefully: "Gong Xiqiu's opponent is not very old either. Every move and every move goes straight to Gong Xiqiu's vital points. It's Ben Ben." He came here to risk his life, it can’t be a competition. Fight. Tsk, I think back then Gong Xiqiu defeated our brothers alone, and now we have ended up in such an embarrassing situation. The northwest continent has been very lively in the past few years."
I have never heard of anyone who can fight with him. The feud between Gongxi and the West is fierce.
As for Shen Youli?
She doesn’t count.
After all, Gong Xiqiu is still a human being, and there are traces of his growth path. Shen Jun is completely beyond the scope of normal people's understanding.
Shaochong on the side pursed his lips, not very happy.
Chao Lian asked him concernedly: "What's the matter, Thirteen?"
Shaochong crossed his arms and rubbed them: "I don't know why, I felt a little uncomfortable when I saw that snake. I feel pain all over.”
Chao Lian: “…”
Although Shisan lost his previous memories, his body still remembered the experience of being almost beaten to death by Gong Xiqiu, so no wonder he felt uncomfortable.
Shaochong licked his lips: "Brother Twelve."
Chao Lian responded: "What's wrong?"
Shaochong seemed to be reminiscing: "Eating snakes at night Soup.”
Chao Lian: “…”
The well-dressed boy turned his hand into a weapon and said to Fang Yan, "It's okay. I'll ask him if he wants my help."
If not, he would just watch from the sidelines.
The next moment, the young man flew away through the air, leaving a streak of red light in the air. Chao Lian and Fang Yan looked at each other and prepared to watch the battle at close range. Remember how arrogant and domineering Gongxi Qiu was? No matter where he goes on the battlefield, he is always the boss. It is rare to see him as a grandson. His good plays are rare and rare.
Fourth Uncle Lin is the only one who has never seen Gong Xiqiu.
He was not interested in watching the opponent being beaten.
But he couldn't stand the naughty boy Shaochong and carried him on his back.
The oncoming strong wind blew ripples on Fourth Uncle Lin's face: "Did I say I was going to watch the fun?"
This roar could not be uttered.
Because as soon as I opened my mouth, I was forced to take a mouthful of wind.
Whether it was Gong Xiqiu or Gong Cheng, both of them noticed a few strange auras coming towards them. The difference is that Gong Xiqiu can't spare any extra attention to pay attention, while Gong Cheng can be distracted, but he doesn't care. It was guessed that some brave warriors from nearby came to join in the fun. This kind of thing happens from time to time.
Observing the confrontation between two courageous warriors at close range, even those with a little understanding can learn something. Maybe this is the only chance to break through the bottleneck. However, some excitement cannot be ignored.
Will you lose your life if you are affected?
That's really a dead end, you can't blame others.
No one expected that the unfamiliar martial artist who was supposed to be watching the battle did not know how to keep his distance, but instead rushed towards him.
Gong Cheng and Gong Xiqiu stopped and retreated at the same time.
It wasn’t that he was afraid of hurting anyone, but that the person who came had also taken action, forcibly inserting himself between the two of them, destroying the original balance. Gong Xiqiu was able to take a breath, while Gong Cheng squinted slightly, looking through the air waves generated by the collision of martial energy explosions. He could barely see the general appearance of the other party, and asked aloud: "What are you--"
The moment the visitor turned around to look, it stopped abruptly.
The visitor was dressed in a red outfit, which made his originally fair complexion more delicate and fair, and his facial features were deeper and more three-dimensional than ordinary people. Her long black hair is tied up with a delicate crown, and there are many small braids mixed in the middle of the hanging hair.
The heaven is full and the eyes are like paint.
The corners of the lips seem to have a natural upward arc.
Despite his enthusiastic and public appearance, his temperament is restrained and gentle, like a sword decorated with luxurious gems. Don't be disdainful because of your appearance. No one knows if there is a sharp tool for blowing and breaking hair in the scabbard!
These are not things Gong Cheng cares about.
What he cares about is the boy's appearance.
This man’s appearance looks familiar.
But at this time, Gong Xiqiu, who was far behind the young man, also adjusted his breath and raised his hand to wipe away the blood that covered his face. The wound was close to the eye. If it were any further away, the right eye might not be saved. Gong Xiqiu's eyes were injured many years ago. When Gong Cheng fought with him, he found that Gong Xiqiu's attacks in a certain direction would always cause a moment of stiffness.
Uncontrolled distraction is the most taboo in a master showdown.
Gong Cheng quickly seized the opportunity, and Gong Xiqiu also took this opportunity to counterattack at close range, leaving a deep scar visible to the bone on Gong Cheng's chest. Unfortunately, this scar did not It is fatal, and due to his strong recovery ability, it has long since healed.
“Are you also from the Gongxi clan?”
Gong Cheng’s eyes did not leave the young man’s face.
Still using a positive statement tone.
The young man asked him: "Are you competing?"
Gong Cheng: "..."
The young man turned his back to Gong Xiqiu, so naturally Gong Xiqiu couldn't see it But it didn't stop him from rolling his eyes at this stupid question: "Which of your eyes saw that this was a sparring match? Boy, don't waste your life by staying here. You can't stay where you are!"
Gong Xiqiu’s voice was fierce.
The other thing is that I don't want innocent people to lose their lives. Although he looked embarrassed now, Gong Xiqiu still had a way to escape. He wanted to find out as much as possible about Gong Cheng, know himself and his enemy and be victorious in every battle, so that he would have a better chance of winning when they meet in the future. Who knows that someone unknown to the world will suddenly appear.
As for the boy’s dress?
Gong Xiqiu really didn’t think much about it.
As far as he knew, the boy from the Xu family named Xu Quan privately took the lead in forming a society called the "Gongxi Qiu Conservation Association". In addition, some aristocratic families did not know what they were doing, so Gongxi Qiu Qiu's dressing style became popular. Among the brave warriors in Kang State, four or five out of ten like to have their hair braided. The boy in front of me is probably also a fashionista.
Gong Cheng's response was to kill him with one palm.
Go straight to the face of the well-dressed young man.
Gong Xiqiu struck the well-dressed boy with a weapon before he could react. With Gong Cheng's current strength, his palms were both invulnerable and capable of breaking gold and jade. The sharp blade of the snake halberd couldn't penetrate Gong Cheng's palm, but it was enough to repel him.
Gong Xiqiu caught the well-dressed young man behind him and did not look back. He held the snake halberd in front of him: "Why bother a passerby? Or should I say, you are crazy and you have to ask everyone you meet. Asked if they were from the Gongxi clan? How could there be so many people!”
It was a big misfortune for me to meet him.
Gong Cheng was lucky enough to meet him.
Haha, you hit me once and you want to hit me a second time?
Gong Cheng looked at him as if he was looking at a fool, or in other words, he thought Gong Xiqiu regarded him as a fool: "Passerby? Haha, Gong Xiqiu, do you think I am as blind as you?"
If these two faces are put together, do you dare to say that there is no relationship?
Gong Xiqiu felt that Gong Cheng was baffled.
At this time, the handsomely dressed young man behind him stepped forward. The moment Gong Xiqiu saw his face clearly, his pupils suddenly shrank, and he instantly understood why Gong Cheng suspected that the young man was also a member of the Gongxi clan. Without him, the young man's appearance is 70-80% similar to mine!
A thought raced in my mind.
He heard hallucinations of gongs, drums and firecrackers.
Big nephew! Great nephew! Great nephew! The eldest nephew...
This person is definitely the eldest nephew!
Gong Xiqiu felt the blood in his body boiling, and even the pain was forgotten in his mind. Seeing this, Gong Cheng knew that his guess was true.
The well-dressed young man: "I am indeed from the Gongxi clan."
The hallucinations in Gongxi Qiu's ears became louder, his heartbeat was like a drum, and his lips were dry. He had thousands of words to reminisce with his eldest nephew.
At this time, I heard my eldest nephew say: "Since you are not fighting but seeking revenge, I cannot allow you to kill my people."
Gong Xichou came back to his senses with a firm gaze. .
Grabbed my eldest nephew by the shoulders and said in a deep voice: "Eldest nephew, step back. This man can't kill your second uncle or me. I was just playing with him. You go first Let’s wait somewhere else while our uncle and nephew go back and reminisce about old times, okay?”
The well-dressed young man looked at him blankly: "Second uncle?"
Fang Yan, Chao Lian and Fourth Uncle Lin, who were watching the battle, were also dumbfounded. They knew that the two were of the same race, but they didn't know that they were related. Fang Yan brothers all looked at Uncle Lin for confirmation. Shao Chong asked in a low voice: "Is this true?"
Although Fourth Uncle Lin has not answered yet, just looking at the appearance of these two people , the three of them felt that this was true, they were actually uncle and nephew!
Uncle Lin was confused for a moment.
Then he said: "When we went to the Gongxi clan area, we didn't find any genealogy. We just saw a lit life lamp in a forbidden area... Jimo Yu said that the location of the life lamp There is also something special about it. Gong Xiqiu’s life lantern and Shaobai’s life lantern are very close to each other... maybe they are really uncles and nephews..."
Despite this, Fourth Uncle Lin always felt that something was wrong.
I can’t remember it for a while.
Chao Lian and Fang Yan sighed in low voices: "This fate..."
It's really wonderful.
Fortunately, they were nearby and came over, otherwise Gong Xiqiu would have been seriously injured today even if he had not died. Now that the uncle and nephew are teaming up to deal with Gong Cheng, even if they can't win, they won't let the other party get much benefit. At least, life is completely safe.
If it's not enough, why don't we still have them?
Sishu Lin and Fang Yanke are both literary scholars.
The conversation between several people was not concealed, and naturally it fell into the ears of the three people on the battlefield. Jimo Qiu's eyes were dazed and confused for a moment.
“Are you really the second uncle?”
