Dragon Warrior

Chapter 69

Although the Green Willow Villa is very grand and has a certain style in the desolation, but perhaps because the owner is very confident, the huge Zhuangzi doesn't even have a family, let alone a courtyard guard.

Xiao Jing stepped forward, pulled up the door knocker with her fingers, and knocked it lightly a few times, the bang bang sounded far away in the silence.After a while, the door opened with a creak, and eight tall men dressed as hunters walked out.Each of these eight men carried swords on their waists, bows and arrows on their backs, and each of them had a falcon on their shoulders, with black feathers and sharp claws, and they looked like gods.

The first person who knocked on the door was a heroic young man who had never seen him before, he couldn't help frowning, looked up and down with sharp eyes, and said in a deep voice, "Who are you looking for?"

Xiao Jing smiled and said: "Looking for your master. Please inform your master, just say that the old man is visiting, please take the time to see him."

The leader showed doubts and said: "I have served my master for 20 years, and I have never seen you. Please also reveal your identity, otherwise forgive me for being rude, and you will not be able to enter this door anyway."

Xiao Jing shook his head and said with a smile: "Very good, I haven't seen you for so many years, Shenjian Baxiong is still so conscientious, your master is very resourceful. Zhao Yishang, Qian Erbai, Sun Sanhui, Li Si Destroyer, Friday Loser, Wu Liupo, Zheng Qimie, Wang Bashui, I haven't seen you for 14 years, don't you guys really recognize me?"

Shenjian Hachio looked at each other, although the other party could accurately call out their names, but they really had no impression of the handsome young man in front of them.However, if we haven't seen each other for 14 years, it's justified. Judging by the age of the other party, 14 years ago, he was still aging, which is naturally very different from now.

Zhao Yishang recalled those years in detail, a figure suddenly appeared in his mind, and after comparison, it gradually overlapped with the young man in front of him.Zhao Yi was shocked by his grief, he didn't dare to neglect, cupped his hands and cupped his fists in a salute, and said respectfully: "Is your surname Xiao?"

Xiao Jing nodded and said: "Of course, I was a guest at your master's house back then, and the eight are your master's effective guards, so you should be no strangers to me."

Zhao Yishang bent over even more when he heard the words, and his tone became more respectful: "It really is the head of the Beggar Gang Xiao?"

Xiao Jing said: "If it is fake, it will be replaced!"

The remaining seven people gradually came to their senses at this time, and they were shocked: "Could it be Mr. Xiao from the beggar gang who stayed in the palace for a month?"

Zhao Yishang scolded: "What are you doing in a daze? Why don't you come over and see Young Master Xiao soon?"

The seven people came to their senses, stepped forward quickly, and bowed deeply.

Xiao Jing helped them up and said: "You don't need to be like this, Xiao is not a few masters, so I can't be a big gift from you."

Zhao Yishang insisted: "The princess often warns that if you meet the young master in the rivers and lakes, as if seeing her in person, any order must be unconditionally executed and cannot be violated. Now that the young master is in front of you, if you lose your etiquette, the princess will blame you. I can't afford to wait to eat."

The corners of Xiao Jing's lips curled up in a gentle arc, and he said softly, "Can everyone inform me now?"

Zhao Yishang took a step back, stepped aside, raised his hand and said, "Young Master, there is no reason for me to make you wait outside, please come with me, first sit in the mansion, and I will personally report to the princess."

Xiao Jing nodded, and followed the Eight Heroes of the Divine Arrow into the mansion, all the way to the hall.The furnishings in the hall are simple and unsophisticated, and in the middle hall hangs a picture of "Eight Horses" painted by Zhao Mengfu.Hanging on the left wall is a pair of big characters, the text said: "Flying on the white rainbow seat, roaring in the green snake box, killing the frost at the front, round and round the moon is near the new moon. The sword breaks the dragon outside the sky, the sword rushes into the sun to fight, the sword breaks the demon's abdomen, The sword brushes the heads of courtiers. Potential generals will ward off evil spirits, but don't just startle concubines. Stay and chop the floods, don't try the dogs in the street."

Xiao Jing smiled slightly, the strokes of this painting are vertical and horizontal, the beginnings and turns are exposed and charming, it is obviously written by a woman, the author is self-evident.

After quietly appreciating for a while, there was a sudden rush of footsteps in the corridor outside the hall. Although the distance was not close, Xiao Jing could still hear it clearly with her ears.Although the footsteps are very hasty, the place where they land is quite light. It seems that a woman is running in a hurry, and between the running, the voice is chaotic and irregular, but the speed is extremely fast. Agitated and unstable, distracted.

Xiao Jing's eyes became softer, and a wave of anticipation rose in her heart.The footsteps became louder and louder, and after a while, they had already come outside the hall, and it seemed that the next step was to step into the hall door.Xiao Jing's eyes were wide open, quietly waiting for the expected person to appear, but at this moment, the sound of footsteps suddenly stopped, and after a few breaths, they sounded again, then became smaller and smaller, and quickly disappeared .

Xiao Jing's face froze, she didn't know why, and her mood suddenly became a little bad.Pick up the new Jiangnan tea on the table, and take a few sips casually, but you can't taste the fresh fragrance, only the bitterness in your mouth lingers for a long time.

Time passed slowly, and when footsteps sounded again, Xiao Jing had unconsciously drank a pot of tea, and even poured a lot of tea foam into her mouth.

Xiao Jing came back to her senses, the footsteps came outside the hall door again.He calmed down a little and waited quietly.After a few breaths, Dan felt his eyes light up, and a woman in her twenties stepped into the hall.

The woman was dressed in a light red dress, her waist-length hair was rolled up in a bun, and a bang hung down on her forehead. There was always a bright and beautiful smile on her innocent face. She is shallow, with curved eyebrows and eyes, very charming and beautiful.

Xiao Jing took a step forward, recalling the scene of saying goodbye to this woman 14 years ago, feeling that things are different.The cardamom girl whose face was still immature in the past has now grown into a beautiful and dignified young girl. Apart from being gentle and smiling as always, she can no longer find the slightest youthfulness.

"Sister Umbrella, long time no see!"

"After 14 years of separation, Mr. Xiao is still as majestic and handsome as ever, and Shan'er dare not look directly at him."

"Don't you dare? Sister Shan'er's care for me back then has always been in my heart, and I dare not forget it for more than ten years."

"Really? Isn't it the princess that you have been obsessed with all this time? Shan'er is just a little maid, so you can't be a young master in your heart." Shan'er covered her mouth with her sleeve and smiled softly.

Xiao Jing said: "Sister Shan'er is a maid, but she is better than many ladies in the world. It is unforgettable at first sight, and I can't be exempt!"

Shan'er said: "Young Master said so, but you may be so disappointed in your heart?"

Xiao Jing said: "What are you disappointed about?"

Shan'er said: "Naturally, the person I wanted to see didn't see it, but the person I didn't want to see appeared."

Xiao Jing smiled wryly and said, "Sister Shan'er is naturally the person I want to meet, she is not allergic..."

Shan'er smiled and said, "My lord, don't worry. I don't know how happy the princess is when I heard about your arrival! She was practicing swords in the backyard, but after getting the news from Boss Zhao, she threw down her sword and ran all the way over .but……"

"But what?"

"However, the Princess has always shown herself in men's clothes when she was away from home. She didn't have time to think about it until she was about to meet the young master. Sweating slightly, everyone went back to shower and change clothes, and put on makeup."

Xiao Jing's mood suddenly became cheerful again, and she smiled and said: "I see, but it's okay even if she doesn't change clothes, no matter what kind of her she is, I like her!"

Shan'er let out a real chuckle again, the voice was as pleasant as a silver bell.She said: "Women are pleasing to themselves. I haven't seen you for more than ten years. The princess hopes to see the young master in the most beautiful posture, and is worried that the young master will not be able to wait for a long time, so he ordered me to come and accompany him for a while."

Xiao Jing felt slightly hot inside, sat down again, and slowly chatted with Shan'er.He didn't have much in mind to chat at this time, but Shan'er was very interested in his experiences in the past few years, so he had to be patient and pick some things with deep memories to tell her.

After saying this, half an hour later, there was another sound of footsteps outside.But the sound of footsteps did not make him too happy, because this person was still not the same person as the first time. From the sound of his steps, he must have been a woman, but judging from the sound of the landing and the time interval, it was different from the first person before. There are not small differences in stature, weight, and martial arts.This person walked relatively calmly, although his speed was extremely fast, he landed almost silently, and his lightness skill was stronger than No.1.

After a while, a middle-aged woman with a hot figure came in from outside the house, and Xiao Jing recognized that it was Wu Yaohong, the personal guard next to Zhao Min.After Wu Yaohong came in, he said to Xiao Jing with no expression on his face: "Master Xiao, please come over and meet me, please come with me." After finishing speaking, he went to the front to lead the way without waiting for Xiao Jing's reaction.

Xiao Jing didn't take it seriously, got up and followed her.The two detoured for a while, and came to an attic. This attic was four or five stories high, and there were no other buildings around.As soon as Xiao Jing saw the attic, he felt a faint familiar feeling in his heart, but he couldn't remember where he saw it.He has seen countless gorgeous buildings over the years, and there are not too many attics like this, so he didn't think of them for a while, but he didn't care.

Wu Yaohong led him into the attic, and pointed out, "The princess is waiting for you on the third floor, so I won't go up. If you have anything to say, I'll wait for you downstairs."

Xiao Jing nodded in thanks, raised his head and looked around, and found that the attic was almost empty and empty, but the sense of familiarity not only did not weaken, but became more intense, but he was sure that he had never been here before.

Shaking her head, Xiao Jing went up the stairs without stopping, and went directly to the third floor.Pushing open the door, one sees an extremely ornately decorated hall. The hall is empty, with only a chair in the center.At this moment, the familiar scene that suddenly entered the eyes once again awakened the scenes buried deep in the memory. In the past 14 years, the bits and pieces I had experienced that I thought had been gradually forgotten, but turned out to be just hidden deep in my heart. Waiting for a certain opportunity, all of a sudden they all spewed out, making people caught off guard.

Xiao Jing stood in the center of the hall, looking at the chair quietly, thinking about the person who used to sit on that chair and what happened with that person, for a moment, her heart became extremely soft.

"Remember this place?"

"Remember, this is where we first met!"

"Just remember, I'm afraid I'm still guarding foolishly, and you've already forgotten!"

"No, it's impossible to forget in this life. When I die of old age, this may be the last picture in my mind!"

"Well, me too! Turn around and let me see!"

"Hmm! I want to see you too!"
