Chapter 529: The girl who came to protect Li Chengqian
I heard what Li Chengqian said.
Yuan Yuan couldn't help clenching her fists.
For a moment, she really wanted to rush forward, throw herself into the arms of the person in front of her and cry loudly.
But she couldn't do that.
Because she is Yuan Yuan.
She is one of the top three killers in this world.
"Since you said so."
"Then if I don't help you, it seems like I'm ignorant."
After saying this, Yuan Yuan directly drew his sword and pressed towards Li Chengqian step by step.
When Li Chengqian approached, she did not hesitate, raised her sword and dropped it...
next moment.
A strand of Li Chengqian's hair slowly fell to the ground.
But Li Chengqian still stood there motionless.
Seeing this scene, Yuan Yuan could not help but take two steps back.
Then, she raised her sword and pointed it at Li Chengqian and asked, "Why don't you hide?"
"I said, my life is yours, you can take it away at any time if you want."
Li Chengqian still spoke calmly, as if he didn't care about his life at all.
But who can know how nervous he is now.
I wonder who in this world is not afraid of death?
Even if he died once, he would still be afraid.
If the girl hadn't drawn the sword so fast that he didn't have time to react, he would have dodged it long ago.
Can he still allow her to say this in front of him?
However, Li Chengqian is now determined to fight to the end.
He said sincerely: "I know you are suffering, and I also know you are tired."
"But I also told you, if you are tired, come to me and have a rest. Don't float outside."
"Come to me. Although you are not as free as outside, at least you can eat chicken legs every day."
"I will no longer be exposed to the wind and sun, and I will no longer have to do things I don't want to do."
After hearing what Li Chengqian said, Yuan Yuan slowly lowered his hand holding the sword high. She took a deep breath with a bitter look on her face and said, "Why don't I want to live like that?"
"It's a pity that I have already embarked on this road and can't go back."
Now, her hands are already covered in blood.
She is no longer worthy of standing beside him.
When Li Chengqian heard her words, he couldn't help but feel touched.
"You have embarked on this path, and I have also embarked on another path. What does it matter?"
"As long as we both remember the scene when we first met a few years ago, it will be fine."
"I remember that time when you risked your life for a cat."
"I also remember that time when you came to me with a pile of copper coins to pay back the money."
"Similarly, I also remember that time you cried so heartbrokenly that your heart was filled with despair."
Li Chengqian finally came out of his memories.
He said directly to Yuan Yuan: "No matter what you become, at least in my heart, your appearance will never change."
Hearing what Li Chengqian said seemed like a confession.
Yuan Yuan blushed.
However, she did not dare to respond in any way to Li Chengqian's attitude.
She glared at Li Chengqian and said, "You are as glib as before."
After saying that, she did not forget to add: "I won't kill you today, not because of anything I do, but because someone asked me to kill you, and at the same time, someone asked me to protect you."
"With this sword of mine, I cut off a strand of your hair. I have completed my mission of killing you."
"And next, my mission is to protect you and help you return to Chang'an City safely."
Hear this.
Li Chengqian couldn't help but raise his eyebrows and said: "Protect me? You?"
"Isn't it okay?"
Yuan Yuan shook the long sword in his hand, then sheathed it and said: "But there is news on the way.
There is a fee, but you have to pay for it."
"hehe……"
Li Chengqian smiled bitterly and said: "You are already the top killer in the world, are you still short of money?"
"Why aren't you short of money?"
"If there is no shortage of money, why should I continue to do the task?"
Yuan Yuan rolled her eyes and said, "Okay, I'm too lazy to talk nonsense to you. Just lead the way. It's getting late and I have to rest."
"Okay, okay." .??.??
Li Chengqian also didn't expect that this matter would end like this.
Finally, the two entered Yangzhou City together.
After finding a random inn, we stayed for the night.
In the early morning of the next day, the two of them headed south to Jiangnan Road.
Because they were in such a hurry, Li Chengqian and Yuan Yuan almost traveled all night.
The sun is shining overhead during the day.
At night, it is covered with stars and moon.
Within two days, Centenary entered the territory of Jiangnan Dao.
Two days later, the two of them had entered the hinterland of Jiangnan Road, and were only a hundred miles away from their destination, Hecheng.
It was also because the two people's schedule was too tight and the journey was full of dust. By the time they got here, they were already two extremely slovenly people.
Li Chengqian can be better, after all, he is not too hypocritical.
But Yuan Yuan really couldn't stand it anymore.
Even if she is used to being in the world, she still can't bear to treat herself so badly.
She said directly to Li Chengqian: "There is smoke from the kitchen in front. It seems that there is someone's house. Anyway, the road ahead is not far, so why not rest here."
After all, Li Chengqian is now carrying hundreds of taels of gold on his back.
In order not to attract attention, the two of them took narrow paths that no one else would take.
He has been sleeping rough in the wilderness for the past few days. When he hears someone coming home, how can Li Chengqian refuse?
"That's fine!"
Li Chengqian picked up He took a big sip from the water bag and said, "I still have some coins on me, which should be enough for us to eat and improve our lives."
Although I can already see the smoke.
But as the saying goes, the two of them started on the road at noon and arrived at the place where the smoke was rising in the evening.
And that was not a home, but an inn.
The inn is not small in size and has the architectural style of a classical courtyard house.
The wooden building has three floors, upper, middle and lower. At a rough glance, it looks like it has at least thirty or forty rooms.
In addition to three or four carriages in the courtyard, there were also dozens of horses parked in the stables outside.
Seeing this scene, Li Chengqian couldn't help but be stunned.
He rubbed his chin and said: "It seems like this is a place specially provided for people in the world..."
"so what?"
Yuan Yuan didn't even look at him and said, "No one can stop me from taking a rest today."
After saying that, she didn't care what Li Chengqian's expression was and just stepped inside.
Outside the inn, a well-known dark-skinned waiter squatted on the threshold and dozed off, drooling from the corner of his mouth and smiling evilly.
Just by looking at his expression, others could guess that he must be dating that beautiful girl in his dream.
Seeing that he was sleeping soundly, Yuan Yuan ignored him and stepped directly to bypass him and enter the inn.
Unexpectedly, at this moment, the waiter suddenly woke up.
When he saw Yuan Yuan rushing in without even saying hello, he immediately jumped up from the ground and kicked towards Yuan Yuan.
Seeing this scene, Yuan Yuan frowned slightly, raised his sword, and blocked the man's fierce kick with the scabbard.
Seeing this, the waiter was stunned for a moment.
Obviously, he didn't expect that a seemingly weak woman like Yuan Yuan could be so powerful.
However, he did not hesitate, turned around and kicked him again.
But at this moment, Li Chengqian on the side suddenly spoke: "Okay, okay, stop fighting, if you continue to fight, someone will die..."
