Valkyrie Returns

Chapter 73

The sound of the Qiang flute came from nowhere, with a mellow rhythm and an ethereal tune.Lu Bu stood at the bottom of the lake with his arms around Xiu Yuan, rubbing his warm earlobe with his fingers, his voice was very low but more gentle than usual, "Qinghe ran this far not just to wash his hands. There are quite a few cleansing spells."

Xiu Yuan leaned softly on Lu Bu's arms to absorb the heat from his body, a little surprised, "When did Feng Xian become so sharp?"

"As long as it's related to you, I don't allow myself to make any mistakes or ignorance, Qinghe, everything about you is mine."

Probably because he has heard too much recently, Xiu Yuan is very used to Lu Bu's similar words. He smiled and pulled out the dagger from Lu Bu's waist, and lightly gestured on his arm: "In this case, I will also make a mark for Lord Hou. Alright." Lu Bu straightened his arms generously, his tame muscle lines were beautiful and attractive in the sun: "I'm so happy, I don't know what kind of pattern Qinghe likes? How about painting a glutton?"

Xiu Yuan put down the dagger and said with a smile: "So I look like a beast in Master Hou's heart?"

With a flick of his wrist, the dagger returned to Lu Bu's hand like a magic trick, and he put it back into the quiver at his waist: "Since we want to mark it, the more fierce the better, otherwise how can we scare people. This dagger It's very profitable, I'd better take it, if one accidentally scratches myself, I will feel bad."

"Speaking of painting, Fengxian's painting skills are actually very good. I wonder when Lord Hou would be interested in rewarding the boy with a pair of calligraphy? When I was young, you painted most of the auspicious clouds and auspicious beasts on the surface of the lantern. So I almost forgot about it after not seeing each other for many years. Suddenly I heard the sound of the Qiang flute and remembered some old things, I don’t know how Feng Xian thought the song was played?" Xiu Yuan lowered his eyebrows and closed the darkness in his eyes, and the rhythm in his ears was instead Even closer.

"Old friends, old songs, old clothes, I think they were blown to old friends." Lu Bu raised his head and looked into the distance, but he rarely said an elegant sentence: "Mobei, green grass and silver lake, if I can live in seclusion here in the future. It’s all about having a good time.”

"Can Feng Xian see the flute player?" Xiu Yuan followed Lu Bu's gaze and saw nothing but billowing white clouds.

"The face is not very clear, it seems to be wearing something to cover the appearance. The clothing is clearly visible, the white robe, the black brocade shoe upper, the cuffs are embroidered with fine gold thread, and the figure is thin, Quite a bit of the elegance of a literati in the south of the Yangtze River. The wind on the grassland is strong, and the sound of the Qiang flute is always clear and smooth. It is obvious that the flute player is extremely full of internal energy, and he should be a master."

"Since he is a master, he must have come to look for Qin Jiu or Xiao Lin. A few years ago, Xiao Lin was also one of the few masters in the rivers and lakes. It is not surprising that he has some friendship with knights." The appearance of the piper was not the least bit surprised.

"You expected that someone would come to Qin Jiu? So you deliberately left him and Xiao Wu alone?" Lu Bu reacted belatedly, and began to think hard about Xiu Yuan's intentions.

Xiuyuan took a white brocade ribbon and tied his still wet hair behind his head, sat on the grass and shook his head: "I just want to take this opportunity to test Tatu's reaction. If he is not willing to be controlled by us, He will definitely take this opportunity to attack Xiao Wu and the others. With the hostages in hand, he can get some cheap money from us to go back. Although he told us the location of the Qinghong Sword, he did not take the initiative to remove the guards. I I'm not sure if it's because he doesn't have this ability, or if he's just waiting to see the show, so he can be a fool."

"So what happened to Qin Jiu was a mistake?" Lu Bu quickly ran to Xiu Yuan's side, put his head on his lap to look at the clouds in the sky, and let the wet water droplets on Xiu Yuan's hair fall on face.

"Actually, Xiao Wu and the others will have to settle their affairs sooner or later. It's better to let him leave the dark guard camp as soon as possible. After all, there is no need for so many dead soldiers now. We have to leave sooner or later. Why bother to trap these children to death?" In the city, he was able to raise Qin Jiu's concerns in advance, which is more or less a determination of his own. Qin Jiu is always a member of the rivers and lakes, and there are still some hidden dangers if he stays by his side all the time. It is better to give them a chance early to avoid accidents. No more regrets."

Lu Bu tilted his head and thought for a while, then suddenly asked, "Qinghe, what do you think of Ma Chao?"

Xiuyuan inserted his fingers into Lu Bu's hair, squinted his eyes slightly and tugged gently: "If you are a king, your identity and martial arts are all the top choices. It's really the best. It's just that the matter of Xuanmen's alchemy is still pending. We Once we leave, Taoism will definitely become Xiliang City's weakness."

"In terms of Taoism, there should be nothing to worry about with Immortal Master Yu Ji. Even if he and Zilong have to leave, there will be one or two magic weapons or array techniques to rely on. In this way, we will have no worries. , Happy Mountains and Wilderness is just around the corner.”

Xiu Yuan nodded approvingly: "That's true. Next, we only need to wait for Cao Cao to launch the Battle of Chibi. The tens of millions of people in Xiliang City will naturally become a great merit to you and me, and it will be just around the corner to break through the void."

"I heard what Qinghe said, the people of Xiliang are all going to die in the original secret? Could it be that Xiliang will be massacred?" Lu Bu was afraid that Xiuyuan's legs would go numb after being pressed for a long time, so he only lay down on him for a while Er straightened up and put Xiu Yuan's head on his shoulder instead, with undisguised surprise in his voice.

"It's not impossible to be slaughtered, but it's definitely not as easy as it is now. Even the soldiers who are still in the inner city probably won't be able to come back. Once Dong Zhuo died, Lord Hou led the army to compete in the Central Plains. In Xiapi, Guo Jia diverted water to fill the city, was captured by Cao Cao, and beheaded for public display. But now, Guo Jia is not dead, Zhou Yu is still alive, and even Zilong is still with you and me. The so-called secret is just empty talk. What is there to be afraid of?" Today, when Xiu Yuan talked about the history in Romance, he felt calm.This calmness probably also has something to do with Lu Bu's rapid progress, at least in this time and space, there is nothing that can threaten him.

"There is no such thing as you in those history, so it is no pity for me to die. Now that you are by my side, how can Lord Hou be willing to die?" Lu Bu just listened to the unwarranted joys and sorrows of life and death that Xiu Yuan said Naturally, he didn't feel that there was anything wrong with the attitude of the story. He vigorously sniffed the familiar scent of grass around Xiuyuan's neck, closed his eyes intoxicated, put his hands around Xiuyuan's waist, and said nothing more.

The two hugged each other in silence for a long time before Lu Bu broke the silence with a smile: "Meng Qi has already left."

Xiu Yuan raised his eyebrows, and flicked Lu Bu's forehead: "No wonder you suddenly mentioned the matter of becoming a king. It turned out that you were tempting people around the corner. Lu Fengxian, you are so courageous that you even dare to plot against me."

Lu Bu lightly held Xiu Yuan's palm, put it to his lips and kissed it reverently, his voice was a bit too gentle: "I don't know how Qinghe plans to punish me?"

Xiu Yuan's face was reddish, and he retracted his hands into his sleeves calmly: "Why don't you punish Lord Hou to dance for me, hasn't the sound of the Qiang flute never stopped?" He took off his outer robe and put it on Xiuyuan's shoulders, and he performed a set of boxing moves: "Qinghe is right, he doesn't even have snacks, sitting in the cold wind is really boring, and he doesn't know what's the point of playing the flute , there is someone who is willing to stay in the air for several hours and suffer."

Lu Bu's words purposely poured out all his internal energy and shouted out, regardless of whether anyone answered, he put on a posture and began to practice his fists and kicks on his own.Xiu Yuan wrapped the outer robe on his shoulders a little tighter, and then slowly took out the short jade flute from the sleeve robe again and put it to his lips. Covering up the past, disappearing into the wind, it is difficult to distinguish.

The unknown knight who had been playing the flute in the distance finally couldn't hold back, and flew towards them stepping on the tip of the grass.But in a moment, he flew tens of feet away and met Xiu Yuan's eyes; "I don't know what you want to do with me with the sound of the flute." Before the hollow marshmallow was bitten down, it softened a bit.

"The sound of decadence, if it is placed in the place of fireworks in the south of the Yangtze River, it will still have some flavor. The alien race in the Mobei grassland is brutal and fierce. No matter how long you play it, no one will know how to appreciate it. Why waste effort? See you again If it's fate, why don't I invite you to drink a pot of good wine?" Xiu Yuan threw Yu Xiao aside casually, and stood up from the grass in a graceful manner, without any embarrassment on his face that he intended to be smashed.

The white-clothed knight lingered on Xiuyuan's cheek for quite a while, before he replied noncommittally: "Your Excellency, you are empty-handed, and you are about to invite someone to drink? Are you talking nonsense?"

Xiu Yuan smiled and clapped his hands lightly: "Qin Jiu, why don't you bring the wine bag over quickly, are you so stupid after not seeing you for a few days?"

Qin Jiu appeared from behind Lu Bu with an apologetic face, bowed and handed the wine bag to Xiu Yuan: "This subordinate is stupid, please punish me, sir."

With a cold face, Xiu Yuan snorted heavily, then opened the wine bag and sprinkled the warm wine into Qin Jiu's neck: "I didn't expect you to be so stupid. After several years of training, you still haven't improved at all. This wine is just fine. It’s a bargain on the street, how dare you take it out to fool me?”

"Sir, calm down. The horse racing festival will be in three days. This subordinate will bring back some good wine for you. Please be patient for a few days." Qin Jiu bent over without moving, letting Xiu Yuan warm the wine He fell down on his neck, and his tone became more respectful and cautious.

When most of the wine sac was dry, Xiu Yuan turned his head and said to the knight in white with a smile on his face: "Your subordinate is stupid, I made you laugh at me. Tatu from the tribe in the north still has some friendship with me, how about Brother, come with me to the big tent to get some good wine and have a good talk with you, okay?"

The knight in white didn't pay attention to Xiu Yuan, but just stared at Qin Jiu's back, and sighed after a long time: "Xiao Lin, why are you doing this?"

Qin Jiu still maintained his stooped posture, the wine on the top of his hair slid down his ears, his voice was dull without any ups and downs: "Hero, you have misunderstood me, my name is Qin Jiu, I am just a small servant."
