Chapter 8 A lonely city
He Xiao was puzzled, "Who is Han Erniu?"
"His previous name." Luo Jin replied.
He Xiao frowned slightly and directed to Luo Jin in a gentle voice: "Heroes do not ask where they come from. You can't ridicule others because of their poor background. Do you understand?"
Luo Jin heard his gentle voice and her good impression increased. "I'm not mocking him for his poor background. I was born poor myself."
Luo Jin explained to him, "I'm mocking his bad character. General He, do you want to hear Han Erniu's story?"
"You... shut up!" Yue Qinghai rushed up with his sword like crazy. He Xiao immediately swung his sword to fight, not giving him any chance to get close to Luo Jin. These two people are world’s masters with equal strength. There was a faint sound of thunder where the weapons touched and the earth seemed to tremble because of it.
Luo Jin hugged her arms and shouted: "Han Erniu, still not stopping! If you keep at it, I will tell your story to everyone loudly! There will always be people here who you can't kill and your story will definitely be known to the world!"
She was a person who would seek a foot after gaining an inch. Since she had caught Yue Qinghai's sore spot, how could she easily let him go?
Yue Qinghai gritted his teeth and finally stopped. He stared at Luo Jin with red eyes. In the end, he made up his mind and turned around and left.
Luo Jin wasn’t willing to give up, "Don't leave! If you leave, I will write your story into a storybook and send it to everyone for free!"
"You..." Yue Qinghai wanted to go crazy. He never thought that he would be controlled by a powerless little girl and he couldn't kill her. "What do you want to do?"
Chai Heng had just breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Yue Qinghai was about to leave. Unforeseen, Luo Jin didn’t let him go!
Immediately, his head was big. He didn't know what Luo Jin was going to do. Was Yue Qinghai someone to provoke?
He Xiao's expression didn’t change. His eyes narrowed slightly and he watched with interest.
Luo Jin said in a matter-of-fact tone: "Since you are here, then stay to protect the safety of the convoy! I think that with you and General He here, the negotiations between the two countries will be smoother, right?"
[Two of the five masters of the mainland have come. This deterrent force can make Xiyuan Kingdom surrender directly, right? ]
[If the negotiations go smoothly, would it be considered that I made a great achievement? Will there be a lot of small money? 】
Yue Qinghai was about to explode, "Me escort the negotiation convoy? When did I become your people? Don't order me!"
He Xiao looked at Luo Jin with a little more confirmation in his eyes. It was indeed as she thought. If Yue Qinghai stood on the side of Dongyuan Country at this time, it would be greatly beneficial during the negotiations.
Chai Heng was also quite surprised. He didn't expect that Luo Jin's few words could force Yue Qinghai to switch sides and join his camp. He specially called He Xiao to increase the momentum of the negotiations. Now with a master of Yue Qinghai's level by his side, he felt that the condition of five cities he originally planned was really conservative.
Seeing that Yue Qinghai was about to lose his temper, He Xiao stepped forward and patted his shoulder, "Then I'll have to trouble you, Brother Yue."
Yue Qinghai said angrily, "I didn't agree."
Chai Heng generously asked his men to bring a horse to Yue Qinghai, "It's for Mister Yue. It's a good horse!"
Yue Qinghai stamped his feet in anger, "I don't fancy it. I don't want it!"
When Luo Jin heard that he didn't want it, she hurried over, "If you don't want it, just give it to me? I fancy it!"
Yue Qinghai: "..."
Only two carriages were used for people in the convoy. The others were used to carry items. Now one of the two carriages was split by Yue Qinghai's sword. While the other was shattered by He Xiao. So Luo Jin had no carriage to sit in.
"I... can't ride a horse." Luo Jin said, "But it's not far from Sand City. I can walk there in a day."
He Xiao shook his head, "That won't work. It's not safe for you to walk alone. Thieves are rampant here. It's very dangerous."
Chai Heng's mind turned and said, "Why don't you ride with..."
Before he finished speaking, he saw Luo Jin tugging He Xiao's sleeve in a sneaky way, "Then General, can you take me on a horse? I'm afraid that bad guy Yue Qinghai will hurt me again..."
"Okay." He Xiao hesitated for a moment before nodding in agreement.
Chai Heng lowered his head, feeling a little disappointed.
Although He Xiao could indeed protect Luo Jin, Chai Heng didn't think she was afraid of Yue Qinghai at all. He had a feeling that she had the ability to control Yue Qinghai.
He Xiao's legs were very long. When he got on the horse, he just lifted his legs slightly and sat on it directly. His posture was quite neat and handsome. He reached out to Luo Jin on the horse, took her hand, and gently pulled it. Her whole body flew into the air and sat steadily on the horse.
"Hold on!" He Xiao gently kicked the horse's belly and the horse obediently ran forward. Because there were two people on the horse's back and He Xiao was heavier because of his height, it didn't run very fast.
Luo Jin only felt the breeze on her face and her heartbeat quickened.
[This man is too handsome! ]
[No, I'm not a face-con. Calm down, calm down! ]
[Take a deep breath, don't let him find out, I'm really not a face-con...but he is so handsome and so powerful. Who wouldn't be bedazzled when seeing him? ]
[Wipe the saliva...]
He Xiao: "..."
The convoy entered the Sand City an hour later. After entering the city, Chai Heng looked at He Xiao in surprise, "Is General He tired from riding a horse? Why is your face a little red?"
He Xiao coughed, "It's my first time riding a horse with someone. I'm afraid she will fall, so I have to control the horse to run more steadily... It's a bit tiring."
"Indeed, it's tiring to ride a horse with someone. Don't worry, I'll get someone to buy a carriage and let her ride in it later."
"...Okay."
There were two inns in Sand City. The two countries agreed to negotiate the day after tomorrow. There were still two days left. Chai Heng arrived early, so he chose an inn and arranged for the team to stay.
Luo Jin was assigned a separate room. She was so tired from the bumpy journey that she was really sleepy. She closed the doors and windows and planned to take a nap.
Suddenly, the window was pushed open from the outside and a figure suddenly appeared in the room like a ghost.
Luo Jin sighed, "You are an uncle and run into a little girl's room. If it gets out, aren't you afraid that others will say you are a pervert? After all, you are a famous senior in the martial arts world..."
Yue Qinghai was furious and viciously uttered, "Aren't you afraid of me? I can stab you to death in one slash!"
"With your sword-drawing speed, I would have been killed by you long ago," Luo Jin pointed to the window, "If you don't want to kill me, get out! Don't disturb my sleep!"
"I’m asking you, where is your friend? What's his name?"
"Am I stupid? Telling you..." Luo Jin yawned, "Anyway, if I die, you will be on the hot search tomorrow... I mean, my friend will make your story known to everyone. So you can't kill me. Also, you have to protect me. If I die unexpectedly, you will be the unlucky one. "
"What does your accidental death have to do with me?" Yue Qinghai raised the sword in his hand again, "Believe it or not, I will capture you and use torture to force you to reveal your accomplices!"
"Tsk, I'm so scared!" Luo Jin rolled her eyes at him, "I'm just a delicate girl. Do you think I can withstand any torture? Be obedient and work hard."
"Don't think about ordering me!" Yue Qinghai gritted his teeth, "If I don't obey your orders, do you dare to tell others? If it doesn't threaten your life, I don't believe you dare to tell others about it casually."
Luo Jin sighed, "Alright, I thought I could finally be a boss for once ...Forget it, go then, I won't tell anyone."
Yue Qinghai put away his sword and was about to leave when he heard Luo Jin say, "Anyway, you don't have to be present for the negotiation. I heard that Xiyuan sent two of the youngest princes, who must have never seen the world. General He alone can keep them in check."
Yue Qinghai's body froze, "Young... princes?"
Luo Jin's lips curled up with a barely perceptible smile, "Yes... Oh, come to think of it, you wanted to assassinate Jiang Ge? Were you sent by a prince?"
Yue Qinghai snorted, "None of your business!"
At this moment, the door was suddenly knocked open from the outside. He Xiao appeared at the door, eyeing Yue Qinghai vigilantly, "As expected, it's you. I was wondering why there was an extra person in this room."
Luo Jin was quite surprised, "Ah, I heard that a ninth-level master can hear the breathing of people within a certain range? Is it true?"
He Xiao confirmed with an "en" and asked, "Did he hurt you?"
"No," Luo Jin yawned, "Mister Yue has no ill intentions. He just... just wants to spar with you. Too embarrassed to tell you, he asked me to help ask."
Yue Qinghai: "Spar?"
He Xiao: "I have had this intention for a long time. Let's go, Brother Yue."
Yue Qinghai didn't understand why he suddenly had to compete with He Xiao and was dragged away.
When Luo Jin closed the doors and windows, she found that they were broken. She sighed and went downstairs to find the server to come up to repair them.
The server reluctantly said, "I want to watch the competition! I heard that Yue Qinghai and He Xiao are competing in martial arts. They are two of the top five masters in the world. Don't call me, I want to watch!"
He turned around and ran away. Luo Jin saw that there was no one in the store anymore. Everyone went to watch the fun.
She sighed, flipped through the toolbox and dug out the tools to repair the doors and windows. After a simple fix, it was barely repaired. Then she closed the doors and windows and fell asleep.
Two news came from Sand City that day, one good news and one bad news.
The good news was that the two top mainland masters, Yue Qinghai and He Xiao, were competing in Sand City. The scene was extremely spectacular. It was worth bragging about watching it for a year.
The bad news was that half of the street was razed to the ground by them and no one dared to ask them for compensation.
After the news came out, the Xiyuan Kingdom team that had just arrived at the city gate trembled.
Two killing gods coming together was like seeing a ghost in broad daylight. Prime Minister Xia Wenxian sat in the carriage and looked at the two princes with fear. He didn't even want to enter the city gate.
The sixth prince Jiang Yan was only fourteen years old this year. He was scared and cried when he heard the bad news.
"Prime Minister, let's go back! let's go back, please!" Jiang Yan cried and shouted, "Fifth Elder brother, I'm scared!"
