for sheath

Chapter 8

It took a whole stick of incense before Xi Cang used pure yang internal force to pull Master back from the gate of hell. However, due to the excessive output of internal force, the extreme Yin internal force passed to him by Master in his body could no longer be restrained. He only felt that The cold air began to scurry around in his body, and that feeling made him feel as if he had fallen into an ice cave, so cold that his teeth couldn't help but fight.

Could it be that Master has been troubled by this cold internal force for the past ten years?Master only imparted a small amount of internal energy to him, but he was already disturbed by the cold air. It is conceivable that Master has suffered many times more than him over the years.Looking at Master's pale face almost all year round, the more he thought about it, the more he felt distressed, and he wished he could bear this crime instead of Master.

The coldness in his body became more and more rampant. He wrapped the master who had recovered from his body tightly with a quilt, and then began to meditate to recover his internal strength. If he could not suffer for the master, at least he must ensure the safety of the master. He must work harder in the future. Practice is.

After waiting for several days in a row, there was no news from Meiying Bieyuan.Xi Cang began to feel restless, could it be that Hua Ruomeng really didn't see her anymore?However, the matter that the master explained has not yet been written down, so what should I do?Master has never asked how things are going these days, but he can't continue to wait like this.

After lunch, he filled up the charcoal fire in the stove, took out the white fox cloak and wrapped the master tightly, and even surrounded the master with a quilt. After doing all this, he I feel a little more at ease in my heart.

"Master, I'm going to Meiying Bieyuan, and I'll be back soon, you must take care of yourself."

Xi Qing's pale face was like sculpted from ice and snow, without a trace of warmth or reaction.

Xi Cang frowned, couldn't help stretching out his hand to cover Master's forehead, he was relieved to feel that the temperature was still there, it seemed better to go and come back soon.

Only here is peace of mind, suddenly heard the sound of small footsteps coming from the courtyard.

"who is it?"

Xi Cang took the sword and went out of the room.

I saw a handsome young man in jade crown and costume standing under the red plum tree in the courtyard. His appearance was only seventeen or eighteen years old, and he held a beautiful sword in his right hand.

"Who are you?" Xi Cang asked with a frown after looking him over.

The handsome young man also looked him up and down, with an air of arrogance, and asked instead, "Are you Xi Cang?"

"It's me." Xi Cang saw him familiar at first glance, but couldn't remember where he saw him, "Who are you?"

The young man's expression was a little unhappy, "You don't even know me?"

Xi Cang frowned even deeper, "I don't know you, just say what you have to say, I'm still waiting to go out."

"Okay! Very good!" The young man sneered, "Listen up, my son is Mei Qi!"

Mr. Mei Qi?That Young Master Mei Qi who stayed by Hua Ruomeng's side for two years?

Xi Cang was slightly taken aback, "It's you!"

"That's right!" Mei Qi lifted her chin and resumed her haughty attitude.

"What's the matter with you?"

"I'll kill you!"

After Mei Qi finished speaking, she drew her sword and stabbed at him.

Startled, Xi Cang quickly raised his sword to block the blow.

Mei Qi missed a hit, changed her sword move, and entangled her tightly again.

Xi Cang saw that every move and style of his was full of killing intent, so he didn't dare to be careless at the moment, and mobilized a lot of internal energy to fight with all his strength.

It's just that after only seven or eight moves, Mei Qi's sword has already fallen behind.

When Xi Cang saw his domineering manner before, he thought he had great abilities, but he didn't expect that his swordsmanship was not as good as that of Jiangnan Yijian, who knocked down the sword in his hand, and Xi Cang's iron sword pointed directly at his throat .

"Why are you killing me?"

Mei Qi obviously didn't expect that the opponent's swordsmanship was more than twice as high as her own. At this moment, even the weapon in her hand was picked away, and someone pointed her throat. Flushed with anger, "If you want to kill or cut, you can do as you please, don't talk so much nonsense!"

"Hua Ruomeng asked you to kill me?" After thinking about it, Xi Cang only had this possibility. He had nothing to do with the young man in front of him, otherwise how could he have found him.

"Bah!" Mei Qi glared at him resentfully, "You still have the nerve to mention Sister Meng, I haven't asked you yet, did you do something to Sister Meng? Why did she get sick after seeing you? get up?"

"Is she sick?" No wonder she hadn't heard from her for so many days, Xi Cang withdrew his sword and asked again, "What's wrong with her?"

"How do I know what disease I have? I'm not a doctor!"

"Haven't you seen the doctor yet?"

"You..." Mei Qi was blocked and stared at her eyes angrily, "Anyway, it's your fault, you pay me a good sister Meng!" He picked up the sword that fell in the snow, Regardless of the provocation again.

The strength of his stabbing sword was not as strong as that of an outsider, and it was clearly just acting out of temper. Xi Cang stretched out his index finger and middle finger and caught it easily, "Since Miss Ruomeng is ill, I will accompany you to have a look."

"Who asked you to watch it? I'm here to kill you!" Mei Qi pulled out the sword that was caught between his fingers, and attacked again with a sword flower.

Xi Cang dodged it, grabbed him by the wrist, and tightly clasped his veins, "If you mess around again, I won't be polite!"

Mei Qi's handsome face turned pale in an instant from the pain, but she still said stubbornly, "I won't take you there! Kill me if you have the ability!"

Xi Cang didn't bother to talk to him anymore, he just dragged him away, took a step, then looked back at the door worriedly, paused, and then dragged him away quickly.

"Hey! You barbarian! Slow down! You're hurting me!" Mei Qi was dragged by Xi Cang awkwardly to walk very fast.

Xi Cang just wanted to finish watching the man quickly so that he could go back to guard his master, so he ignored his futile struggle and did not let go of him until he entered the Meiying Bieyuan.

"You barbarian, I can't finish with you!"

Mei Qi 'shua' drew out her sword again, but before she could make a move, she was blocked by the people who came.

It was Zi Qiao who came, and she pulled Mei Qihao to comfort her, "Young Master Qi, please don't get angry, the girl heard that Mr. Xi is coming, and she wants to meet you."

Mei Qi refused, and stepped forward to stop Xi Cang from letting him go, "Sister Meng fell ill after seeing this barbarian, why do you want to see him again!"

"This is what the girl means." This Mei Qigong is a distinguished guest of Meiying Bieyuan, and usually gets along well with Ziqiao and the girls, so Ziqiao is well aware of his temperament, so she brainstormed and listened Said a few words to him lightly.

After Mei Qi heard this, her complexion turned bright, "Really? Then... I will go to find that girl Hongying first."

"Go quickly, it's too late when it's too late." Zi Qiao smiled and watched him leave in a gust of wind, and then apologized to Xi Cang, "Seventh son is spoiled by the girl, although he has a bit of a temper, he is still a man. Very good, Mr. Xi, don't take offense."

Xi Cang didn't take it seriously, "Take me to see your girl first."

"Young master, please."

Ziqiao led Xi Cang to the depths of the other garden, Xi Cang followed her two steps, and found that it was not the route to the plum garden.

This Meiying Bieyuan occupies quite a large area, with pavilions, pavilions, rockeries, flowing water, small bridges and corridors, etc. various scenery emerges endlessly. Although it is winter, the scenery in this garden is not inferior to that in spring, which dazzled him. , just finally went around to the place.

Zi Qiao stepped forward and gently knocked on the door, "Girl, Mr. Xi is here."

"Come in." A lazy female voice came from the room.

"Please, my lord." After Zi Qiao followed Xi Cang into the house, she quickly closed the door again to block the whistling wind and snow outside.

Xi Cang sat down on the soft couch in the outer room, and Zi Qiao hurriedly served tea again.

There was a crystal bead curtain in front of him, and a figure half-lying on the couch in the inner room could be vaguely seen, and the incense burner beside the couch was burning with the same scent as last time.

"Where's Xiaoqi's child?" the beauty asked lazily.

Ziqiao replied, "I sent him to Hongying's side."

"Alright, you go and guard him, don't let him come to my place to make trouble."

"Yes." Zi Qiao responded and backed out.

The room fell silent, Xi Cang was about to speak, but she heard her say first, "I heard from Ziqiao that Mei Qi was looking for you?"

Xi Cang responded, "He said you were sick, so I'll come and see you."

Hua Ruomeng coughed lightly, and said with a smile, "It's okay, I have a little problem, if it's you, don't worry about that kid Mei Qi, he's a bit arrogant, he goes straight, he has a good heart, and he loves others. .”

Xi Cang said, "Don't worry, I won't argue with him."

"That's fine."

"However, he said that I made you sick. May I know the reason?"

Hua Ruo dreamed that he spoke straight and straight, didn't know how to embellish, and was not as polite as others, so she couldn't help giggling and said, "The illness of my family is a heart disease, not because of the young master."

Xi Cang really wanted to know about her relationship with Master, but he couldn't ask directly, so he thought for a while and said, "You changed your face when you heard my surname that day, so is your heart trouble related to my surname? "

Hua Ruomeng was silent for a while, before she said helplessly, "Young master's words are correct. There was a friend in my family who happened to have the same surname as your son, but he passed away many years ago."

"Been dead for many years?" Already dead?Doesn't the friend she mentioned refer to Master?

Hua Ruomeng asked again, "Since your surname is Xi, have you ever heard of the name Xi He?"

Xi Cang shook his head blankly, "I've never heard of it."

"That's right. This name has been silent for twenty years. It's only natural that you haven't heard of it at your age."

Xi Cang was puzzled, "Could it be that your friend is an old man?"

"He is indeed older than the Nu family, but he is not a friend of the Nu family." When Hua Ruomeng said this, her tone suddenly turned cold, "He is the love rival of the Nu family."

After hearing this, Xi Cang became even more confused. How could he be a friend for a while and a rival for a while?And from what she said, how could Xi He be her rival in love since he should be old?And what does all this have to do with Master?

Hua Ruomeng didn't see any movement outside the curtain for a long while, and said with a smile, "Young master, why don't you make a sound?"

"I just don't quite understand." Xi Cang couldn't figure out the connection after studying for a long time.

Hua Ruomeng sighed, "This is just a sad story."
