Chapter 83: Xiao Family Cemetery
This is the end of the competition in Jade Dragon City, since the competition in the imperial capital is a month later, and then Yiqiu can still move freely for a while.
Early in the morning, Xiao Xue came to wake up Yiqiu and dragged him shopping.
After the scene last night, the relationship between the two became much closer, and Xiao Xue did not shy away from others, holding the Shui Yun Sword in one hand and directly holding Yi Qiu's arm with the other.
The two of them wandered around for a while, and then Xiao Xue's eyes suddenly rolled and said, "Yiqiu, let's go out of the city, I want to take you somewhere." β
"Where?"
Yi Qiu was stunned for a moment, and now he realized that he didn't seem to have left Jade Dragon City yet.
Xiao Xue didn't answer, but grinned: "You'll know when you go, but you have to hire a horse first." β
"Horses to hire? Yi Qiu said secretly in his heart. However, Xiao Xue's mysterious appearance made him curious.
However, Icho encountered another problem, he didn't know how to ride a horse.
Immediately, under Xiao Xue's guidance, a sturdy horse was selected in the stall, and then walked towards the south city gate.
There were only two guards guarding the south gate, but what Yi Qiu didn't know was that after they left, two people in ordinary clothes glanced out, and then quickly turned to leave.
Out of helplessness, Yi Qiu could only sit obediently behind Xiao Xue, who told him that he couldn't ride a horse? But Yi Qiu calmed down after thinking about it, anyway, whether he could ride or not would sit in the back row.
It was okay at first, but over time, Yiqiu became a little overwhelmed. Xiao Xue's delicate body and fragrance had a strong allure for him, and his heart was beating violently.
Fortunately, this month's cultivation has made his will much stronger, and he is not even afraid of pain, what is this?
In the end, Yi Qiu still held back, otherwise Xiao Xue who was sitting in front of him would definitely be very unnatural.
Sitting on horseback and running fast, Yiqiu's ass was a little unbearable, and now they had been out of the city for more than ten minutes, and the distance should be more than ten kilometers. At this time, they were still running on a flat road with an endless view.
"Cher, how long is it going to be. Yi Qiu asked a little dizzy.
He has had motion sickness since he was a child, and he didn't expect it to be on horseback, but fortunately, he could alleviate a little between the blood and air circulation, otherwise he would have vomited all the way.
Hearing what Yi Qiu said, Xiao Xue's face turned red, and she said softly: "It's going to take a while, don't speak, be careful to bite your tongue." β
"Haha, how could I ...... Not. β
......
Ten minutes later, the two dismounted outside a wood, and Icho was pale and somewhat prostrate.
Seeing this, Xiao Xue said with a smile: "Let you speak, is it much better now?" β
Yi Qiu quickly nodded and said, "It's much better." β
Although he said so, his eyes were still a little flowery, and the bite just now was too hard, and his mouth was bleeding profusely. Coupled with the first time he rode a horse, he was dizzy, and now he has reduced a lot of combat power.
Xiao Xue tied the horse, and then helped Yiqiu into the woods.
Smelling the natural smell of green leaves and red flowers in the woods, Yiqiudi's state is gradually recovering, but he still wants to vomit and retch.
He secretly said in his heart: "If you kill you, you won't ride a horse anymore." β
Now, he would rather run back than get on the back of the horse again, although it feels extremely good to hold Xiao Xue, but his life is important.
"Where is this?" asked Yi Qiu, taking a few big breaths of cold air.
Xiao Xue pursed her lips lightly and replied, "This forest is the resting place of our Xiao family, and my mother is also buried here. β
Yi Qiu was stunned for a moment, didn't speak, just nodded slightly.
"Hey, the cemetery guards shouldn't be lazy again. Xiao Xue was a little surprised in her heart.
After walking for nearly ten minutes, the two came to the edge of a cemetery, where dozens of stone monuments stood large and small.
After Xiao Xue bowed to the front, she walked in with Yi Qiu.
After a sweep, Yi Qiu found that many of the stone tablets were not surnamed Xiao, presumably they should be offerings recruited by the Xiao family. On the way, I also passed a large tombstone with a domineering name on it.
Xiao Zhan!
Xiao Xue explained: "This is my grandfather, my grandfather is very strong, and he is the peak combat power of the first level, which makes the Zhou family very jealous, and he was besieged to death by a trap." So we Xiao Jiacai and the Zhou family are endless. β
Yi Qiu nodded, he had also heard about these things, Xiao Zhan was lured outside the city back then, and was besieged and killed by the Zhou family with almost all his strength, and finally counterattacked three third-level powerhouses and four fourth-level powerhouses, causing the Zhou family to suffer heavy losses.
His strength has reached the peak, and there are rumors in Jade Dragon City that he has touched the threshold of the rank back then, and he is the top combat power of Jade Dragon City.
After that, the two Xiao families in Jade Dragon City merged into one, and Old Man Xiao was in charge, and Old Man Xiao was only second-level combat power at that time.
Xiao Zhan back then was the number one master in Jade Dragon City.
The two bowed respectfully to the tombstone, then walked on again, and finally stopped at one of the tombstones.
"This is my mother's grave. Xiao Xue said with a serious expression.
Icho nodded.
On the tombstone, a few words are succinctly engraved: Zhao Ping.
Then Xiao Xue squatted down and broke away the leaves scattered on the side, and at this time, a strange sound floated into Yiqiu's ears.
Crunch!
It's clearly the sound of feet stepping on leaves, anyone?
The blood qi suddenly surged, and Yi Qiu quickly turned his head, only to see an old man standing in the distance. The old man was about sixty years old, dressed in a thin black robe, with a sallow complexion, but his body was standing very straight, and he must have been a martial artist.
"Grandpa Zhong!"
It turned out to be someone Xiao Xue knew.
The black-robed old man showed a smile, walked over, and said as he walked: "It turned out to be Xiaoxue, why do you have time to come over today." β
"Grandpa Zhong, I'm here to see my mother. Xiao Xue stood up and smiled.
The old man smiled again, pointed at Yi Qiu with a somewhat thin finger and said, "Who is this little brother?"
"His name is Ichyu, my fiancΓ©. Xiao Xue replied first.
Hearing this, the old man glanced at Yi Qiu in some surprise and said, "Oh, I haven't seen you for half a year, Xiaoxue has already been engaged." β
Xiao Xue nodded and said, "Well, what about yesterday." β
The old man nodded, walked around Yi Qiu for a half, and finally stopped behind Yi Qiu. He said with some appreciation, "The boy is pretty good, huh?
The two subconsciously looked in the direction of the old man's finger, but they didn't find anything at all.
Suddenly, Yi Qiu's back hurt, and then the whole person flew forward.
Sneak attacked!
Xiao Xue was stunned for a moment, then looked at the old man who made the shot inexplicably, and shouted in some surprise: "Grandpa Zhong, what are you doing?"
The old man glanced at her, and then quickly rushed towards Yi Qiu, his hands into claws, and hit Yi Qiu's chest. He had just run two steps when his face suddenly froze, and in front of him, two intersecting red slashes were coming at him.
What the?
The old man was very surprised in his heart, how could the other party be safe and sound, and he didn't know where to take out a knife, and he could still cut out two fighting slashes?
He stepped heavily on his feet, jumped directly backwards, and looked at Yi Qiu incredulously: "Boy, how can you see that?"
