The woman in the purple dress laughed and gave him a thumbs up. "Good taste!"
Liu Guanshan was not in a good mood. He had an inexplicable natural hostility towards the strange man in the green robe. Especially when the two of them looked at each other, intentionally or unintentionally, just now, Liu Guanshan felt his scalp tingle.
The maid who was sitting quietly behind the woman in the purple dress took a deep breath and suddenly said to the man in the green robe, "Sir, I'll go west with you! The others will continue north! "
The woman's expression was complicated. She wanted to say something but stopped.
Lv Sichu and the woman in the purple dress were confused.
Liu Guanshan blurted out, "No!"
What was even more strange was that the man in the green robe shook his head and said, "Even if I take someone with me, I'll take the child with the injured arm."
The aura of the seemingly old coachman suddenly changed. His eyes were sharp, and he stopped tying the young man to himself. He stared at the uninvited guest who spoke with deep meaning.
For a moment, the rice field was dead silent.
The man in the green robe said helplessly, "If I had bad intentions, this wouldn't be the situation now."
Obviously, the old coachman and the disciple of the Great Sword Hall, Liu Guanshan, didn't believe it. Even if the man and the child could successfully pass through the cavalry.
The man said softly, "Wang Sheng, open the box."
The swordswoman nodded. Without any movement, the top board of the long purple box on her back slid open.
At that moment, the box was filled with the sound of swords.
Lv Sichu suddenly felt like she was facing a great enemy. She was stunned and said, "How is this possible!"
The old coachman couldn't hide the fear in his eyes. He whispered, "Innate sword embryo?!"

After the girl saw the look in her master's eyes, she quickly closed the sword box and went silent again.
The master and disciple were Hsu Fengnian and Wang Sheng. In fact, it wasn't a coincidence. Hsu Fengnian did want to save someone. It wasn't the girl from the Guanhai Xu family, but the boy who changed his surname. In the early years of the Xiangfu period, the boy's surname should have been Sun. His grandfather was the Grand Preceptor of West Chu, Sun Xiji. At the end of West Chu's restoration, the official Cao Changqing died outside Tai 'an City. The "Empress Jiang Si" died on the battlefield of the Western Wall. Sun Xiji, who had died in the imperial court of West Chu, was a family full of loyal soldiers. The generals all died on the battlefield without exception. The civil officials all died in a heroic manner. However, only the young boy disappeared in the sea of fire in the Sun family. Back then, the emperor of Liyang, Zhao Zhuan, had no intention of investigating this matter and had Zhao Gou give up. Later, the new emperor, Zhao Zhu, admired the Sun family and regretted it. He hoped to secretly find the only remaining child of the Sun family and use it to appease and attract more scholars in Guangling. However, after a thorough investigation, he found that the boy seemed to be involved in a great secret. Thus, Zhao Gou of Liyang and the Ministry of Justice of the capital had no choice but to take this matter seriously. Hsu Fengnian only found out about this when he drank with an old spy from the Fu Shui House who had taken root in Jianzhou. In fact, if not for the fact that the Xu family of Guanhai came out with the "Rouge Beauty Appraiser" and attracted too much attention, it was very likely that Zhao Gou and the Ministry of Justice would have already found some clues. The boy would probably have grown up safely as a descendant of the Xu family and died in bed with that secret. Of course, Hsu Fengnian didn't know why the Xu family of Guanhai wanted the boy to follow Xu Baozao. In fact, the safest plan was for him to stay in the mansion. No matter how bold Song Li and Marquis Gao Tinghui were, they wouldn't dare to lead an army to slaughter the Xu family of Guanhai. Did they think that with the help of the old coachman and those Jianghu heroes, it would be enough to deal with Marquis Gao Tinghui's elite cavalry? Or was it because they were worried that the family would be exterminated by Xin Liyang for covering up the crime, so they simply threw the boy out of the house and let him die in an unexpected disaster?
Hsu Fengnian didn't care about this. He only wanted to save the boy's life. Otherwise, the Marquis Gao Tinghui, who was in the dark, would most likely not let go of this "insignificant" scholar of the Xu family.
However, Hsu Fengnian had a headache as to what to do with the boy after saving him. He definitely couldn't keep him by his side, so who to hand him to was a big problem. Logically speaking, it would be best to send him to Beiliang and hand him to Xie Xibian, but it was a long journey. After all, he had to go from the southeast to the northwest, which almost crossed the entire Central Plains. The current Hsu Fengnian was really afraid of trouble.
Out of the corner of his eye, Hsu Fengnian caught a glimpse of Big Sword Hall's Liu Guanshan, who was in a hurry and was afraid that everything would be in vain. He looked at the servant girl and the woman. "We both know. Since you have made your choice, then follow me to the west. Don't worry, I will help you settle down in a place where you won't have to worry about anything."
Liu Guanshan said in a low voice, "We don't even know your surname! How can we trust you?! Life and death are not child's play! "
Hsu Fengnian smiled and said, "Didn't I tell you before? I was from the same family as that sister-in-law five hundred years ago. Have you forgotten?"
Then everyone saw that the man in the green robe smiled at the little girl sitting in front of Lv Sichu for some reason. He smiled gently and said, "Little girl, don't be afraid. Uncle will let your sister protect you later."
The little girl blinked her eyes and was a little confused.
Hsu Fengnian said to Wang Sheng, "You protect them until they reach the Martial Emperor City, then come to Mount Hui … Forget it, go directly to the Earth Lung Mountain to find me."
Wang Sheng looked at the servant girl who got off the horse and then turned to look at his master. His eyes were a little complicated.
Hsu Fengnian tipped him a chestnut and laughed angrily, "What nonsense are you thinking!"
Wang Sheng snorted and jumped onto a red horse without a master. He came to the side of those people and said in a cold voice, "Let's go."
Hsu Fengnian suddenly slapped his forehead with a look of realization and relief. He shouted to Wang Sheng, "Wait, Master will switch places with you. You take the girl to the west and do whatever you want along the way. In this way, Master can slack off and accompany them to the border of the Sword Province. That will be enough. "
Wang Sheng's eyes lit up and he was a little happy.
However, at this moment, the servant girl who was walking toward Hsu Fengnian shook her head and said, "I will only follow you."
Hsu Fengnian explained patiently, "Although my disciple is young, she is indeed a master. She will never leave you behind."
The girl with dark skin and ordinary appearance still shook her head and said, "But I am not. I don't want to die. "
Hsu Fengnian was stunned. For the first time, he realized that this young girl was not as simple as he thought. In fact, she had hit the nail on the head. Hsu Fengnian did not care about her life or death. Wang Sheng took her to the west to attract attention. Later, when Marquis Gao Tinghou and even Song Li surrounded them, Wang Sheng could naturally advance and retreat freely. As for her fate, Hsu Fengnian did not care. Life and death were ruled by fate. Wealth and honor were in the hands of the heavens. This had always been Hsu Fengnian's motto in Jianghu.
Hsu Fengnian did not say anything and Wang Sheng did not urge his Master.
Hsu Fengnian looked at the girl wearing a mask and suddenly sighed.
He thought of the pair of siblings, Murong Wuzhu and Murong Tonghuang. They had met for the first time in the Sword Province of the Guangling Path. At that time, they were chased by that mad dog, Yuan Tingshan, in order to avoid becoming the cauldrons of the ancestor of Mount Hui, Xuanyuan Pan …
Hsu Fengnian said indifferently, "I will send you to the Great Snow Plateau of Mount Hui."
The girl said decisively, "Okay! It's a deal. "
Hsu Fengnian said to Wang Sheng, "Do you want me to give you a small box to take with you on the way?"
The girl swordsman shook her head and said, "Master, you should take it with you. It's more convenient for you to deceive Mistress …"
Hsu Fengnian became angry out of humiliation. He waved his sleeve and said, "Impudent!"
The girl and the woman whispered to each other for a while. Under the curious gazes of Lv Sichu and the purple-dressed woman, as well as Liu Guanshan's jealous and resentful eyes, the two sides parted.
Hsu Fengnian brought the girl to the extinguished bonfire and then sat down cross-legged to rekindle the fire. There was a shriveled long cloth bag by his feet.
The girl held a horse in each hand. She lowered her head to look at the man and asked, "Are we still not moving?"
Hsu Fengnian fiddled with the bonfire and continued to roast the mostly golden hare. Previously, Marquis Gao Tinghuang's lance had no effect on it. Hsu Fengnian said casually, "Let's fill our stomachs first."
The girl's eyes were gloomy, but she didn't say anything in the end.
Hsu Fengnian tore off a hare's leg and handed it to the girl who was still unwilling to sit down. He looked up and said, "The nearby towns have all banned night. We'll definitely have to sleep in the open. I'm not hungry. What about you?"
The girl hesitated for a moment. She let go of the reins and sat down beside him. They were separated by a distance of two arms, so both of them had to bend down before she could take the fragrant hare's leg. Then she leaned sideways and gently bit into it. Hsu Fengnian laughed it off. He tore off a piece of golden and greasy hare meat and chewed slowly.
After the two of them finished eating the hare, Hsu Fengnian clapped his hands and asked curiously, "How dare you go with me?"
The girl asked in return, "How dare I not go with you?"
Hsu Fengnian smiled and shook his head. "It's not good for a woman to be too smart."
The girl's eyes were gloomy. She raised her hand and wiped the corner of her mouth without saying a word.
Hsu Fengnian slanted his cloth bag and slowly got up. "Let's go when you're full."
The girl quickly got up and walked quickly to a horse. Then she immediately became uneasy because she realized that she didn't know how to ride a horse at all!
Hsu Fengnian was amused. He walked to her side and gently pressed his hand on her shoulder.
The girl quickly lowered her waist and retreated. Then she quickly pulled out a dagger that was originally tied to her sleeve and held it tightly with both hands. She stared at the man in the green robe with unwavering determination in her eyes.
Hsu Fengnian said unhappily, "I don't care what you look like under your skin. Anyway, I've never seen it and I don't plan to see it in the future. Just look at your current appearance. Do you need me to give you a mirror? "
