Chapter 234 Teacher of the Dead

When people sleep when they are extremely sleepy, they often feel that they just closed their eyes and the night passed.

This is what Shen Yuexi is like.

She thought she just closed her eyes for a moment. When she opened them again, the rain outside the window had stopped. A faint light passed through the half-closed window and shone on the wall. This was the light of dawn, and the sky was about to break.

Xiao Zhuo was not on the bed. Her clothes were neatly folded and placed beside the pillow.

It was like this after getting together with Xiao Zhuo. Every time she woke up, Xiao Zhuo was already up. Shen Yuexi felt that this reflected the fact that she was a lazy cat.

There is no possibility of refutation.

After stretching a lot, she felt that her whole body was sore, her feet hurt, her legs were sore, her waist felt weak, and her chest felt uncomfortable.

It hurts where it should hurt, and still hurts where it shouldn't. Fortunately, it's not the kind of pain that comes from illness, but the kind of muscle soreness after strenuous exercise.

Thinking about how yesterday I was jolted on the horse for so long, and was soaked in the rain for so long, and then I was underneath Xiao Zhuo, and the top was tossed and turned like a pancake for so long, it is normal to feel this way.

She got up and put on her clothes, stood at the window, biting her headband, and pushed her hair back with both hands.

At this time she saw Xiao Zhuo's back.

The view from this room is very good, and you can have a panoramic view of the entire streets of Longsheng Town.

With the faint light, she saw where Xiao Zhuo was standing, which was exactly where she and Mei Dai decided to bury Ma Pu. A tomb had been built there.

After tying her hair up, she opened the door and walked down the stairs, left the inn, and came to Xiao Zhuo's side.

In front of Maple's tomb, there was a tombstone carved from a stone slab. Although it was still dark, Shen Yuexi could still see the words engraved on it.

"Brother...the crown prince of Xiliang..." She was not familiar with ancient writing and read with difficulty.

Xiao Zhuo patted her back gently and said, "I didn't expect to meet Mei Pu here. At first I thought it was someone's prank, but later I read the inscription and found out that it was built by the Concubine Xian."

"This is indeed the tomb of Prince Mei. When Sister Mei and I came here, I was anxious to go back to find you," Shen Yuexi held Xiao Zhuo's arm with both hands, "Sister Mei said that she would bury her brother here first. After the war subsided, she came again to move the tomb."

"Xian Fei," Xiao Zhuo slowly nodded, "she is truly an amazing woman."

"Yes, Sister Mei is really pitiful," Shen Yuexi rested her head on Xiao Zhuo's arm, "Her parents passed away, and her brother died in front of her, but she persisted. By the way, husband, Don’t you blame Prince Mei?”

If Mei Pu hadn't rebelled, Qiu Liming and the others would have been able to hold Nanping. Xiao Beiheng would not have been able to cut off Xiao Zhuo's retreat.

Although there were troops from the second prince to support Yong Wei, with Xiao Zhuo's power, Xiao Kai's 200,000 Jingzhou army was defeated by him. The tens of thousands more reinforcements would only delay the annihilation of the entire army.

She could definitely say that Maple's decision affected the entire battle.

"I don't blame him," Xiao Zhuo shook his head, "If I were Mei Pu, I would do the same thing. I value my status more than he does, and it is impossible to hand over the Mei family's foundation to someone who doesn't even know his origins. "

"What about now?" Shen Yuexi asked. Does Xiao Zhuo still value status as much as before?

As soon as she finished speaking, she felt Xiao Zhuo's body suddenly tense up.

"Yue Xi, someone is coming." Xiao Zhuo said softly.

Shen Yuexi was not as alert as Xiao Zhuo, and her nervous reaction was a little slower. When she heard Xiao Zhuo's warning, she quickly looked around.

The sound of hooves trampling through the mud was particularly clear on the quiet streets of Longsheng Town.

The morning light gradually brightening in the east passed through the entire street, illuminating an old man with white beard and hair. He was wearing a bamboo hat to protect him from the rain, a coir raincoat on his back, a sword on his waist, and sitting on a tall horse. The handsome maroon horse came slowly from the west.

Shen Yuexi instinctively felt the danger.

The old man, like a woman, is synonymous with weakness. In this wilderness, an old man walking alone is almost as surprising as a woman walking alone.

In her impression, only a brave woman like Mei Dai dared to walk alone in the dark night. Now this old man has done the same. No need to guess, this old man must have two brushes.

She ducked behind Xiao Zhuo and said in a trembling voice: "Husband, he is here to hunt us down."

She and Xiao Zhuo were the only two living people in the entire Longsheng Town, and the other party obviously didn't come to chat with them.

Xiao Zhuo said: "Yue Xi, please stand aside first."

Letting Shen Yuexi stand aside, Xiao Zhuo faced the old man's horse head, lifted his hem, knelt in the mud, raised his fists with his hands above his forehead, and said:

"teacher."

Shen Yuexi was stunned on the spot.

It turns out that this white-haired old man is actually Xiao Zhuo's teacher. Then this old man should be some sort of prince, tutor, or young tutor?

The white-haired old man stopped his horse, glanced at Xiao Zhuo first, then at Shen Yuexi who was standing not far away, and then said:

"I'm here to kill you, why are you kneeling down?"

"The dignity of the teacher, the disciple dare not lose," Xiao Zhuo raised his head, looked at the sword on the white-haired old man's waist, and said: "Teacher, was it Xiao Beiheng who asked you to come?"

The white-haired old man jumped off the horse and said with a smile: "It seems that your spirit has recovered. You have already understood everything before I said anything."

"This disciple once competed with the owner of this sword and recognized him at first glance." Xiao Zhuo told the truth.

The two were chatting there, and Shen Yuexi was watching anxiously.

Xiao Zhuo is also serious. Since he knows that the other party is here to kill him, regardless of whether he is a teacher or something, he should strike first. Before the old man draws his sword, he slaps him with a palm. Back then, Xiao Beiheng was so young and energetic, and he was beaten by Xiao Zhuo defeated him with one palm. Now swatting this old man is like swatting a fly.

"Yue Xi, come here." Xiao Zhuo stood up and turned around to greet her.

Shen Yuexi was a little hesitant, don't go there by yourself, others would draw their swords and attack them all. But looking at Xiao Zhuo, she didn't worry at all that the white-haired old man would take action. She secretly gritted her teeth and walked over.

"This is my swordsmanship teacher, Ji Zhong." Xiao Zhuo first introduced the old man's identity to her.

"I've met Mr. Ji." Shen Yuexi knelt down and saluted the old man. She thought that this old man was Xiao Zhuo's swordsmanship teacher. That would be troublesome. Xiao Zhuo was still injured. Although the old man was old, he still had injuries. He has a straight back and nimble movements, which is not a good thing.

Ji Zhong nodded slightly in response, and Xiao Zhuo introduced her to the old man: "Teacher, this is my wife, Shen Yuexi."

"Okay, you have fulfilled the courtesy of a disciple, that's enough." Ji Zhong put his hands behind his back and walked towards the central square of Longsheng Town. "Pick up your sword. I have never killed an unarmed person in my life."

Shen Yuexi felt chills rising from the soles of her feet. This old man was too confident. I felt that Xiao Zhuo's self-confidence was somewhat similar to his. Could it be that Xiao Zhuo's self-confidence was taught by this old man?

"Yue Xi, find a sword for my husband," Xiao Zhuo turned to her and said, "I want to compete with the teacher."

After saying this, Xiao Zhuo followed Ji Zhong and walked towards the square.
