Xiao Shijiro

Chapter 18 The Lady and the Robber (2)
Are people really the same as beasts?

If Shen Bijun heard this kind of words a day or two ago, she would definitely think that the speaker was a lunatic; but now, she can suddenly understand the desolate and bitter meaning in these words.

In her whole life, someone has been with her and taken care of her all the time. Only now did she know that loneliness and loneliness are so terrible.

Shen Bijun gradually felt that this person was not scary at all, not only not scary, but even pitiful, she couldn't help wanting to know more about this person.

People always have a particularly strong curiosity about people they don't know, and this curiosity often arouses many other emotions.

Shen Bijun asked tentatively, "Is this place your home?"

Xiao Shishilang said: "I often live here recently."

Shen Bijun said: "What about before?"

Xiao Shishilang said: "I have forgotten all about the past, and I never think about the future."

Shen Bijun said: "You... don't you have a home?"

Xiao Shishilang said: "Why should a person have a home? Wouldn't it be much more enjoyable to wander around the world and make a home all over the world?"

When a person says that he would rather not have a home, it often means that he wants a home, but a "home" is not just a room, and it is not easy to build—it is easy to destroy.

Shen Bijun couldn't help but sighed softly, and said: "Everyone will have a family sooner or later, if you have any difficulties, maybe I can help you..."

Xiao Shishilang said coldly: "I don't have any other difficulties, as long as you are willing to keep your mouth shut, you will be doing me a great favor."

Shen Bijun was stunned again.

Unreasonable people like Xiao Shishilang are indeed very rare.

At this moment, there was a sudden sound of footsteps, and two people hurried in.

It is even more unexpected that there are still people in this ruined temple.

I saw that these two people were both handsome, well-dressed, and not small in style, the one with the sword was older, and the one with the sword seemed to be only about thirty.

It is strange that such a person would come to such a place.

What is even more strange is that when these two people saw Shen Bijun, they both showed joy on their faces, and one of the older ones rushed forward immediately, bowed and said, "Is this Mrs. Lian?"

Shen Bijun was startled, and said: "I dare not, your Excellency is..."

The man smiled and said: "Peng Pengfei and Mr. Lian are old friends. On the day when Madam and Mr. Lian had a big wedding, I went to bother with a glass of wedding wine."

Shen Bijun said: "But the hero Peng who is known as the 'Wansheng Golden Sword'?"

Peng Pengfei smiled even more triumphantly, and said: "What a shameful name, the word 'Wansheng Jindao' is absolutely unworthy of it."

The other person is dressed in brocade clothes and sword, and looks like a handsome noble son.In martial arts, there are not many such talents.

At this moment and here, Shen Bijun was naturally very happy to see her husband's friend, with a smile on his face, he said: "But I don't know the name of this young master Gao?"

Peng Pengfei hurriedly said: "This is Liu Yongnan, the eldest son of the 'Furong Swordsman' Liu Sanye. People in the Jianghu are called 'Jade Face Swordsman', and he has had several acquaintances with Lian Gongzi."

Shen Bijun said sweetly: "It turned out to be Mr. Liu, who hasn't gone to ask the third master for many days. I wonder if his old asthma has healed?"

Liu Yongnan bowed and said, "Thanks to Madam, it's been much better recently."

Shen Bijun said: "You two, please forgive me for being injured and sick, so I can't fully salute."

Liu Yongnan said: "Don't dare."

Peng Pengfei said: "This is not a place for conversation, I have prepared a soft sedan outside, please ask Madam to move it back to the village."

Both of them are polite and polite.Seeing them, Shen Bijun seemed to have suddenly returned to his own world, no longer needing to be bullied or angry by others.

She seemed to have forgotten the existence of Xiao Shishilang.

Peng Pengfei beckoned, and immediately two strong women in Tsing Yi came in outside the door, carrying a very clean soft sedan chair.

Shen Bijun said sweetly: "The two of you have prepared so well, I really trouble you."

Liu Yongnan bowed and said: "Young Master, you should work for your fellow martial arts all day long, and serve your wife a little bit, that's what you should do."

Peng Pengfei said: "Then let Madam get on the sedan chair."

Suddenly Xiao Shishilang said: "Wait a minute."

Peng Pengfei glared at him, and said coldly, "Who are you? How dare you talk too much here."

Xiao Shishilang said: "I said I am Ouyang Jiu, the 'Hero of Zhongzhou', do you believe it?"

Peng Pengfei sneered and said, "I'm afraid you're not worthy."

Xiao Shishilang said: "If you don't believe that I am Ouyang Jiu, why should I believe that you are Peng Pengfei?"

Liu Yongnan said lightly: "As long as Madam believes that she is inferior, it doesn't matter if you believe it or not."

Xiao Shishilang said: "Oh? Did she really believe the two of you?"

The eyes of the three people were all looking at Shen Bijun, and Shen Bijun coughed lightly twice, and said: "Everyone is kind to me, I..."

Xiao Shishilang interrupted her, and said with a sneer: "Even if a dignified lady like Mrs. Lian has doubts about you, she will never say it out of her mouth."

Liu Yongnan smiled and said: "That's right, only a person like Your Excellency would use the heart of a villain to save the belly of a gentleman..."

Speaking of this, there was a "choke" sound, the long sword at his waist was out of its sheath, the sword light flashed, volleyed three times, and a branch in Xiao Shishilang's hand was broken into four pieces.

Xiao Shishilang remained expressionless, and said calmly: "This is indeed the Furong sword technique."

Peng Pengfei said in a loud voice: "Since you know the goods, you should know this trick of 'Thirty Folds on Hibiscus'. In the whole world, except for Liu Sanye and Mr. Liu, there is no third person who made it."

Shen Bijun smiled, and said: "Young Master Liu's move of 'Thirty Folds of Hibiscus', I'm afraid it's already out of the blue."

Xiao Shishilang said: "Don't you ask how they know you are here?"

Shen Bijun said: "It doesn't matter how they know I'm here, I can trust them just because of the heroic names of Mr. Peng and Mr. Liu."

Xiao Shishilang was silent for a long time, and then slowly said: "That's right, what people with names and surnames say is naturally much more reliable than what people like me say. I'm just meddling in my own business."

Shen Bijun was also silent for a while, and then said softly: "But I know that you also have good intentions for me..."

Peng Pengfei sneered and said, "Good intentions? I'm afraid not."

Liu Yongnan said: "He obstructed again and again and wanted to keep Madam here, obviously he has ulterior motives."

Peng Pengfei scolded: "That's right, let's abolish him first, and then take him to be tortured to see if there is someone behind the scenes!"

Amidst the scolding, his golden knife was also unsheathed.

Xiao Shishilang stood there without moving, as if he had suddenly become numb.

On the contrary, Liu Yongnan came to be a good person, and said: "Wait a minute, this person may be Mrs. Lian's friend, how can we make things difficult for him!"

Peng Pengfei said: "Does Madam recognize him?"

Shen Bijun lowered his head and said, "No... I don't know."

Xiao Shishilang suddenly looked up and laughed wildly, "How can a famous lady like Mrs. Lian recognize such a dubious person like me?" Are you going to lose your face?"

Liu Yongnan scolded: "Exactly."

After these four words were finished, the long sword turned into a curtain of light and rolled towards Xiao Shishilang; in an instant, four swords had been struck out, and the swords were like spinning silk, continuously.

Although the masters of the contemporary "Furong Sword" are men, the "Furong Sword Technique" was created by women, so this sword technique is more than light and nimble, not strong enough, so it is unavoidably weak.

Moreover, women are always less courageous and unwilling to fight hard with their opponents. Before attacking the enemy, they must first protect themselves.

Therefore, this sword technique accounts for only [-]% of the offensive, but [-]% of the defensive.

Although Liu Yongnan's four strikes looked brilliant and eye-catching, they were actually all false moves, the purpose was just to test the opponent's reality.

Xiao Shishilang couldn't stop laughing, his body didn't even move.

Peng Pengfei shouted: "Since Mrs. Lian doesn't recognize him, why should you and I show mercy?"

In his palm was a machete with a gold back, weighing 27 jin. When he struck out with the knife, the wind of the knife was violent, and the two women in green clothes who were carrying the sedan chair were already scared and hid in the corner.

I saw the light of the sword and the shadow of the sword intertwined, the strength of the golden backed sword happened to make up for the lack of the Furong sword, Xiao Shishilang seemed to have no strength to fight back, and was forced into a corner.

Peng Pengfei gained power and refused to let others go, and the offensive became more fierce. He said in a deep voice: "There is no need to keep this person alive!"

Liu Yongnan said: "Yes."

As soon as his sword technique changed, he launched all attacks, and every move was a killer.

Xiao Shishilang suddenly showed murderous intent in his eyes, and said with a sneer, "Since that's the case, why should I keep you alive?"

As soon as he turned around, his two fleshy palms forced themselves into the shadow of the sword, light and sword.

The "Furong Sword" is meticulous in its swordsmanship, and it is known as "watertight". At this moment, for some reason, it was attacked by the opponent's fleshy palm.

Liu Yongnan's shot was blocked in an instant, he staggered in shock, he didn't know what he kicked.

He only heard a sound of "gululu", and an iron bowl was kicked by him and rolled straight out.

This bowl is exactly the bowl that held the soup last night.

Seeing this bowl and thinking of the warmth in the bowl last night, Shen Bijun suddenly felt a surge of excitement in his heart, and couldn't care about anything else, and shouted: "He is my friend, let him go!"

Xiao Shishilang's iron palm has sealed all the outlets of the knife and sword, and his next move is a killer who kills people. The life and death of Liu Yongnan and Peng Pengfei are just a matter of breath.

However, upon hearing Shen Bijun's words, Xiao Shishilang's blood surged in his chest, and he lost all intent to kill. This killer move was actually impossible to attack again!
The fame of Peng Pengfei and Liu Yongnan was also earned by fighting with swords and swords. How can they let this opportunity be missed at this moment?

The two rushed to take a step at the same time, and the swords flew together. They wanted to take this opportunity to put Xiao Shishilang to death. With a sound of "chuck", a bloody gash was cut on Xiao Shishilang's shoulder!
Overjoyed, Peng Pengfei reversed the blade and cut across his chest and abdomen.

Hearing Xiao Shishilang's shout suddenly, Peng Pengfei and Liu Yongnan felt a strong collision, their wrists numb, and the sword in their hands suddenly fell into each other's hands somehow.

But hearing the sound of "slight", the swords and swords were broken into two pieces, and then there was a huge "boom", and a big hole was smashed into the wall of the ruined temple.

In the flying dust, Xiao Shishilang's figure flashed outside the cave and disappeared.

Peng Pengfei and Liu Yongnan looked at the broken sword on the ground, they felt cold sweat dripping from their palms, and they couldn't move anymore.

I don't know how long it took before Peng Pengfei let out a long sigh and said, "That's amazing!"

Liu Yongnan also heaved a long sigh and said, "That's amazing!"

Peng Pengfei wiped his sweat, smiled wryly and said, "How can I not recognize such a master?"

Liu Yongnan also wiped off his sweat, and said: "This person is so fast, I have never seen it in my life."

Peng Pengfei turned his head and asked in a whisper: "Does Madam Lian know who he is?"

Shen Bijun looked at the hole in the wall, but he didn't know what he was thinking, but he didn't hear his words.

Liu Yongnan coughed twice and said, "I don't know if he is really Mrs. Lian's friend?"

Only then did Shen Bijun sigh lightly, and said: "I hope he is really a friend of my husband and wife. No matter who can make such a friend, it is a blessing."

She doesn't say "my friend", but "my husband and wife's friend", which is just the right way for her to speak, because she knows that in her position, she can't say that she can't do a wrong thing, and she can't even say a word wrong.

Liu Yongnan said: "So Madam doesn't know his name?"

Shen Bijun sighed: "This person's life experience seems to have a great secret, so he refuses to reveal his name easily."

Peng Pengfei pondered, and suddenly said: "In my opinion, this person is probably Xiao Shishilang!"

Xiao Shishilang!
There was no trace of blood on Liu Yongnan's pale face, and he lost his voice and said, "Xiao Shishilang? How can he be Xiao Shishilang?"

Peng Pengfei sighed: "Although Xiao Shishilang is a villain who kills without batting an eyelid, his martial arts are well-known throughout the world, and his whereabouts are erratic and his background is secret. Few people have seen his true face."

The muscles in the corners of his eyes were already twitching unconsciously, and he continued in a low voice: "Aren't all these points the same as that person just now?"

Liu Yongnan even lost the color of his lips, but kept wiping away his sweat.

Shen Bijun shook his head, and said slowly: "I know he is definitely not Xiao Shishilang."

Peng Pengfei said: "How did Madam see it?"

Shen Bijun said: "Xiao Shishilang runs rampant in the world and does a lot of evil, but I know him...he is by no means a bad person."

Peng Pengfei said: "Know people, face, but not heart, the more treacherous and evil he is, the harder it is for others to see."

Shen Bijun smiled, and said: "Xiao Shishilang kills people without blinking an eye. If he is Xiao Shishilang, don't you two..."

She "leave half a sentence on the edge of her mouth", and she stopped talking at this point.

But what she meant, Peng Pengfei and Liu Yongnan naturally understood very well, their faces blushed, and after a while, Liu Yongnan forced a smile and said: "Whether that person is Xiao Shishilang or not, we should go first Escort Mrs. Lian back to the village."

Peng Pengfei said: "That's right, madam, please get on the sedan chair."
