Chapter 659 Hidden Hero Zhou

In Qin Keqing's heart, although Ye Hongjian could be considered a silent person, she was far from being unsociable.

Ever since the black-robed man came yesterday, Ye Hongjian seemed to have changed. Although she did not show any malice towards anyone, she did not say a word to anyone along the way.

After entering the territory of the Azure Province, they would occasionally see patrolling soldiers on the official roads. Just in case, Xu Han made Ah Huang look like a yellow monkey, and everyone walked to Yan Xiacheng.

"Young Master Xu, did you make Sister Hongjian angry yesterday?" Qin Keqing, who was walking side by side with Xu Han, whispered in Xu Han's ear.

Hearing this, Xu Han raised his eyes to look at Ye Hongjian, who walked several zhang away from the two of them. He shook his head and replied calmly, "No, Miss Hongjian's temperament has always been like this."

Naturally, Qin Keqing would not listen to Xu Han's words, let alone the name of the girl who had changed from Hongjian to Hongjian . It was obvious that there seemed to be some estrangement between the two of them. Qin Keqing looked at Ye Hongjian, who was rushing forward in a sullen manner, and then at Xu Han, who was pretending to be calm. She said again, "Whether the matter between Young Master and I was misunderstood by Big Sister Hongjian the day before yesterday, if so, I will clarify it with her."

Xu Han glanced at Qin Keqing and said, "What did that black-robed man say to you yesterday?"

This method of changing the topic could no longer be described as stiff. Qin Keqing could tell from this that Xu Han did not seem to want to entangle himself with the previous topic, but it was mostly due to the guilt in his heart. Qin Keqing wanted to say something else, but before he could say anything, Xu Han's voice sounded again.

"Only by knowing yourself and your enemy can you win a hundred battles. Now that I'm openly hiding my enemy, it won't be beneficial to you or me if I don't understand his intentions."

Xu Han's tone was extremely firm. Even Qin Keqing could tell that the black-robed man didn't really care about what he said. Instead, she was thinking about her strong desire to convey the topic before she ended it.

In the end, Qin Keqing compromised under Xu Han's attitude. She said absent-mindedly, "I didn't say too much, but I vaguely sensed that he seemed to understand us very well."

At this point, however, she paused for a moment and remembered what the black-robed man had said when he left. Her expression immediately dimmed a little. At that time, she said with uncertainty, "But there is one thing, I feel that he doesn't seem to want to kill me as much as we thought."

…

Paper can't wrap fire.

Nearly 10% of the food in the city's official warehouse was stolen. The Saint Son, who was in charge of the city, had his life chased after this matter. Very quickly, they discovered that something had happened in Ximian Village, which was sixty miles away from the city.

Most of the middle-aged people here had already escaped. There wasn't much food in the village. The government had raided it a few more times. The rest of the food was probably enough for these old people to eat until mid-October. Logically speaking, these old people should be unable to make ends meet at this moment. They were in danger. However, in the past few days, some people discovered that the old men in Ximian City were actually able to bring food to help the people in the neighboring villages.

This quickly attracted the attention of those who were interested. After a few searches, they discovered that several empty houses in Ximian City were actually filled with grain.

As a result, at noon today, Xiao Nineteen and Zhou Yuan were taking a nap at home after lunch. Suddenly, the sound of horse hooves came from the entrance of the village.

The two of them stood up vigilantly and went outside the house. They saw a group of soldiers dressed in black armor standing at the entrance of the village, loudly berating the old man who came to negotiate.

However, Nineteen could not hear clearly from too far away, and only vaguely heard such words as "search", "food" and "punishment". Little Nineteen's thoughts were meticulous, and he quickly thought of the food Ah Huang had brought them. He guessed that something had happened.

At this moment, the armor warriors seemed to have clashed with the old men. Immediately, extremely armor warriors poured out from the queue, and it seemed as if they were going to attack these old men.

Seeing this, Little Nineteen was anxious to take a step forward. However, just as he took this step, someone behind him reached out and pulled her body.

Nineteen was shocked. Just as he was about to call for help subconsciously, the man extended his other hand again and covered Nineteen's mouth.

Nineteen was stunned for a moment before she realized that the person behind her was actually her master, Zhou Yuan.

Seeing that she could see her appearance clearly, Zhou Yuan felt relieved. He gave Nineteen a cautious glance before slowly letting go of Nineteen's hand.

But who would have thought that Nineteen, who had broken free from Zhou Yuan's restraints, would change his expression and say, "Master, what are you doing? Didn't you see that those bad people were going to attack Grandma and Grandpa?" After Nineteen finished speaking, he turned around again and made a move to charge forward.

"What are you doing?!" Seeing this, Zhou Yuan's undead suddenly appeared. He hurriedly stretched out his hand again and grabbed Nineteen. He asked anxiously.

"Save me!" Nineteen said as he struggled to break free from Zhou Yuan's restraints.

"Just what!" Zhou Yuan was both anxious and angry. He extended his finger towards the two white-clothed youths in the group and said, "Have you seen clearly? Those two are Saint Weapons! How can you be their opponent!"

Nineteen calmed down when she heard this. She frowned and looked at the two of them. However, at the same age and wearing white robes as Zhou Yuan had said, it must be the Saint Weapon who had come to supervise the army. However, such worries were quickly suppressed by Nineteen. Her eyes suddenly lit up and she turned to look at Zhou Yuanyan. "I am no match, am I not still with Master? Master, hurry up and save Grandpa and Grandma!"

Zhou Yuan was stunned for a moment, then he waved his hand and shook his head repeatedly, "No, no, I don't have the ability. Look at Master's small arms and legs. If you go up, you'll be swallowed alive by those fellows!"

"Master!" Nineteen stomped his feet in dissatisfaction, "It's fine if you hide your clumsiness in normal days. Now when are you still hiding it? You taught me yesterday, and you still want to act today!"

"Yesterday? What yesterday?" Zhou Yuan blinked his eyes, his heart filled with confusion, as if he did not understand what Nineteen's words meant.

But this appearance made Nineteen even more angry. She stomped her foot again and said, "Then Master, watch me die under their swords!"

Saying that, Nineteen opened Zhou Yuan's hand and quickly ran towards the village.

Little Nineteen had always been clever. Although she seemed to leave angrily, she had already made up her mind. She knew that Zhou Yuan had always loved her and would never see her in danger. As long as those soldiers really dared to attack her, her master would definitely not be left unsaved.

Thinking of this, Little Nineteen couldn't help but secretly feel proud. She looked at the armored warriors who were already preparing to fight against the old men, and her heart was filled with confidence.

Then she shouted in her tender voice, "Stop!"

The soldiers were stunned for a moment before discovering Xiao Nineteen's whereabouts. The leader glanced at the two white-clothed youths beside him, and the other handed him a calm gaze. The leading soldier didn't dare to disobey and hurriedly told the surrounding soldiers to stop. He then respectfully retreated behind the two white-clothed youths.

"Are you the little immortal these old fools are talking about?" One of the youths squinted at Nineteen and asked coldly.

At that moment, the Saint Armament's aura was completely revealed in response to the youth's words. It enveloped Nineteen. Nineteen immediately felt that the aura around him was not smooth, and his face was slightly pale. However, when he thought of Master standing behind him, he straightened his back and imitated the words of the heroes in Mr. Storyteller, saying, "Exactly! Who are you?"

"Who am I?" Hearing this, the youth sneered and looked coldly at the old men who were kneeling on the ground. He then said, "How dare you hide this child? Humph, someone take this child down for me and send him back to the Sacred Palace for baptism!"

"Your Excellency! It's all the fault of this old man. Please forgive the little deity!!"

"Yes, my lord! The little immortal only brought us food when he saw our pitifulness!"

When the old men saw the soldiers rushing towards Nineteen, their expressions changed greatly. They quickly knelt on the ground and begged for Nineteen's forgiveness.

"Don't worry, Grandpa and Grandma. These fellows aren't Nineteen's match!" However, Nineteen said confidently. Looking at the aggressive soldiers, she did not have the slightest bit of panic on her face. She even provocatively waved her fingers at them.

This situation continued until the soldiers arrived in front of her. When one of them lifted her small body high like a chicken, she finally reacted. After a fruitless resistance, she couldn't help but look behind her and wonder why her master still hadn't saved her. However, he discovered that Zhou Yuan had already disappeared from the place where he had just dodged.

At that time, Little Nineteen struggled even more intensely and shouted loudly, "Master! Quickly come and save Little Nineteen!"

"If I die, you won't have a disciple! Who will take care of you? Who will bring you tea and water!"

"If you are too old to walk, what will you do if you are alone?"

Little Nineteen's cries were futile in the end. At this time, the soldiers had already brought her to the front of the two white-clothed youths.

The white-clothed youth glanced at Nineteen, then turned to look at the old men who were kneeling on the ground. He spat out two cold words, "Kill them."

As she spoke, the soldiers behind her immediately rushed out and pulled out their long sabers. Seeing this, Nineteen immediately panicked. She continued to shout at the place where Zhou Yuan had just stood, but there was still no response.

Seeing the armored soldiers raise their sabers high up, they were about to head towards the necks of the old men.

Nineteen's eyes were dull. Such a cruel scene was still too terrifying for her.

And just when she thought there was nothing she could do about it…

"Wait!" An aged voice suddenly rang out, and Zhou Yuan's body suddenly walked over from not far away.

Nineteen's heart was filled with joy, and he immediately smiled happily, "Master!"

"My master is here. You're finished!" Nineteen confidently changed his previous attitude and waved his fist arrogantly under the soldier.

At that time, the two white-clothed youths also frowned. The hands at their sleeves clenched their fists, and their bodies surged with killing intent. A group of armored warriors appeared as if they were facing a great enemy.

At this time, Zhou Yuan had already arrived in front of everyone.

Then, under the gaze of the nineteenth stage, under the solemn expressions of the warriors and the youth…

Plop!

With a soft sound, Zhou Yuan knelt down.

As he kowtowed, he pleaded, "Ladies and gentlemen, this little disciple is blind to Mount Tai. Please have a large number of disciples, treat this little disciple like a fart and let go!"
