This villain is a bit cowardly

Just after the end of the day, Ouyang Xiu took advantage of the competition to invite Xiao Xuming to a remote mountain forest in the western suburbs outside the city.

Ouyang Xiu made an appointment, a rare opportunity. After receiving Ouyang Xiu's invitation, Xiao Xuming put down everything at hand and rushed to the appointment.

As soon as the two met, Xiao Xuming complained: "How can you make an appointment in this kind of place? Shouldn't you find a more spacious place for martial arts?"

Ouyang Xiu said with a smile: "After staying in that cage-like place for a long time, I want to breathe outside, Brother Xiao is willing to accompany you?"

"Of course," Xiao Jiaxuming said: "With the friendship between the two of us, going up the knife mountain and going down to the sea of fire, Brother Ouyang said a word." "

"Then thank Brother Xiao first. Ouyang Xiu hugged him in person.

"Polite, polite. Xiao Xuming also pretended to return the gift. "Coincidentally, I was planning to date Brother Ouyang today, but I didn't expect the two of us to think together. You say, isn't that a good idea?"

Xiao Xuming still likes to joke as always, and Ouyang Xiu is not used to it, so he directly debunked it: "Don't say it so nicely, you Xiao Xuming just have time today, and when Ning Jiuwei's affairs are understood, you will follow Lord Wang back to Beijing, and there will be time again." "

"Whoever knows me, it has to be Brother Ouyang!" Xiao Xuming has a cheerful personality, is not informal, and stands with Ouyang Xiu, not inferior in the slightest.

Both of them are dressed in casual clothes today, Ouyang Xiu is dressed in white, and Xiao Xuming is dressed in black. The figures of two young men, one black and one white, slowly walked forward in the mountains and forests, looking for a suitable venue for martial arts.

Xiao Xuming's eyes suddenly lit up: "That's it." Xiao Xuming took the lead in jumping on a boulder, looked around and said, "The field of vision here is broad, the terrain is flat, and there is a blue sky and white clouds as a companion, what is Brother Ouyang?"

Ouyang Xiu walked slowly and saw Xiao Xuming on the boulder, standing in the sun, dressed in the coat of sunshine, shining brightly, which made Ouyang Xiu stunned for a while. Looking at Xiao Xuming, who was lively and unrestrained, Ouyang Xiu seemed to see himself back then. was supposed to be a carefree age, but in the end, the edges and corners were smoothed out by the unsatisfactory reality, and he became moody.

"Very good!" Ouyang Xiu said to the light

"Where's your sword?" Xiao Xuming realized that Ouyang Xiu didn't have a sword.

"Abandon it. Ouyang Xiu said with an indifferent face.

Ouyang Xiu learned martial arts at the age of three, and at the age of ten, he was already familiar with the martial arts of various major schools, and at the age of sixteen, after integrating the swordsmanship of various major schools, he created a set of his own unique swordsmanship 'Streamer Sword Shadow'. This set of swordsmanship was full of praise even for the master who had taught Ouyang Xiu. Xiao Xuming was fortunate to have been taught, but he couldn't crack it even if he wanted to break his head. In Xiao Xuming's eyes, this swordsmanship has both offense and defense, and it can be called a unique existence in today's martial arts.

"Abandoned it?" Xiao Xuming listened in disbelief. "As the saying goes, an inch is long, an inch is strong. Without a magic weapon, it is like a toothless tiger. Weapons are the soul of those who practice martial arts, you Ouyang Xiu is fond of swords, and you used to be the most proud of things, how can you say that you will abandon it?"

"There is no need to unsheath, so it is naturally abandoned. Ouyang Xiu didn't think so.

Xiao Xuming was puzzled with regret: "I came specifically to crack your 'Streamer Sword Shadow', and you told me that you abandoned the sword." Xiao Xuming jumped off the boulder angrily and made a gesture to leave.

Ouyang Xiu didn't stop him, he just jumped lightly and landed on the boulder where Xiao Xuming was standing just now. At this moment, Ouyang Xiu was bathed in the sun, the breeze was blowing, his clothes were flying, and he was also a young man who could shine.

"Solid fist and foot kung fu can highlight a person's martial arts cultivation, do you dare to compare?" Ouyang Xiu looked at Xiao Xuming and said excitedly.

Xiao Xuming is also a martial arts idiot, and he hates others saying that he is inferior to others. In the past few years, he has also worshiped many famous teachers, and his martial arts have also advanced by leaps and bounds, and he is eager to find Ouyang Xiu, who was once unbeatable in his eyes, and he is ashamed.

"It's good, it's better. Xiao Xuming stopped. "You don't use a sword, and I don't use a sword. Do you think that you are a martial arts wizard, and you can make up for your clumsiness with diligence, do you know?" Xiao Xuming shook the sword casually, and the sword drew a beautiful arc in the air, and it was firmly inserted into the ground, and the sword body trembled slightly.

Xiao Xuming flew to the stone and stood opposite Ouyang Xiu. "Let's take this boulder as the boundary, and whoever falls first will lose. "

Ouyang Xiu nodded slightly, expressing approval.

In order to defeat Ouyang Xiu, Xiao Xuming used all his strength as soon as he came up, and every move had the potential of a thunderous force. The boulder under his feet kept shattering with the power of the two of them, and the field became smaller and smaller.

Due to the limited space, Ouyang Xiu could not avoid Xiao Xuming's attack, so he could only take it bluntly. Feeling Xiao Xuming's heavy strength, Ouyang Xiu couldn't help frowning: "This guy, martial arts have really made great progress in the past two years!" Ouyang Xiu has neglected to practice in the past two years, and his skills are not as good as before.

Xiao Xuming focuses on offense, while Ouyang Xiu focuses on defense. Twenty moves later, the two of them were still standing firmly on the stone.

"Don't fight! Don't fight!" Xiao Xuming took the initiative to stop the offensive, looked at Ouyang Xiu dissatisfied, and said: "How do I feel that you are absent-minded, you don't use all your strength to make a move, you only defend and don't attack, what's the strength of this fight?" Xiao Xuming took the initiative to flick the dust on the hem of the bullet jacket. "I still like to fight with the previous Ouyang Xiu, the previous Ouyang Xiu never dragged the mud and water, and showed no mercy, even if he was beaten all over the ground looking for teeth, at least he was happy in his heart. "

Ouyang Xiu looked at the rolling mountains in the distance and sighed, "Yes!

When Xiao Xu heard this, he knew that he had lost his words, and accidentally touched the sadness in Ouyang Xiu's heart. Hurriedly comforted: "I said Brother Ouyang, things have passed for so long, and you haven't come out yet? Birth, old age, sickness and death are the normal feelings of people, people always have to look forward when they live, you always live in the shadows of the past, except for secretly hurting yourself, you can't change anything, isn't it? You are a dignified prince, how many people can't reach the height in their lives, even when we see you in this capacity, we have to call you a master, what are you not satisfied with?"

Xiao Xuming's words are really standing and talking without backache, a pampered and ignorant son like him, where would he understand Ouyang Xiu's seemingly noble days, but walking on thin ice behind his back. If the knife is not cut on oneself, how can you empathize. But Ouyang Xiu understood that Xiao Xuming was also kind, and responded with a smile.

Xiao Xuming hurriedly changed the topic and said: "The competition just now doesn't count! Next time I bring your sword, I want you to spare no effort because I fight." If I lose, I will also lose. "

"Actually, you are already very powerful, and with a little time, you will be able to defeat me. "

What Ouyang Xiu said was true, but Xiao Xuming was skeptical. "Really, you don't fool me!".

Ouyang Xiu smiled, stretched out his hand into his arms, "I have something to give you" and said, took out a booklet, and handed it to Xiao Xuming.

Xiao Xuming took it curiously and asked, "What is this?"

Ouyang Xiu replied: "This is a set of internal strength cultivation methods that I have summarized, which can help you improve your internal strength cultivation in a short period of time. Although the world's martial arts are unbreakable, if there is no deep internal force as support, it will become vulnerable in the face of absolute strength."

Xiao Xuming was curious and looked at it, and at the same time, he made a decision according to his heart, and ran the true qi in his body again, and the tired state just now was actually swept away. "It's so exquisite!

Xiao Xuming was ecstatic in his heart, sat on the stone with his ass, and greedily looked at the content behind him.

"What do you think of Ning Jiuwei's case?" Ouyang Xiu looked at Xiao Xuming's look with relish, and finally got to the point.

"What do you want her to do?" Xiao Xuming said, but his eyes were clear but he didn't leave the booklet for a second.

"Then what if I tell you that he is not really Ning Jiuwei, but a scapegoat?" Ouyang Xiu tried to tell the truth.

?“ Then I can only express deep sympathy," Xiao Xuming was still deeply attracted by the contents of the booklet. "Since ancient times, unjust, false and wrongful cases in officialdom have been common, who made him so unlucky and had something to do with Ning Jiuwei?"

After listening to Xiao Xuming's answer, Ouyang Xiu took a deep breath, and still said with a little hope: "I want to save her, I need your help." "

The booklet in Xiao Xuming's hand was instantly unfragrant. He looked at Ouyang Xiu incredulously, "You're crazy!"

"I'm sober. Ouyang Xiu told Xiao Xuming the reason why he wanted to save Yiyi, of course, he concealed Yiyi's true origin, and only said that he had saved his life before, so he had to save it.

Xiao Xuming stood up "openly": "Do you know the consequences of doing this? Your identity as a prince is gone? I, Xiao Xuming, as a Jinyi guard, serve the imperial court, how can I be lawless and help you cheat for personal gain." If I help you, how can I be worthy of my clothes? I can't help you with this favor."

"You can, I don't need you to help me rob the prison, I just need you to let my friend go without a trace. No one will know what you Xiao Xuming did afterwards, at most his skills are not as good as others. "

"You still have friends," Xiao Xuming unconsciously raised his voice, and then realized it, cautiously observed the surroundings, and said in a low voice, "Ouyang Xiu, you won't give me the truth, right?"

Xiao Xuming stuffed the booklet back into Ouyang Xiu's hand. "I didn't think I heard what I just said. For the sake of the future of the palace, I advise you to think clearly, and dispel this idea as soon as possible, so as not to let yourself fall into a place of no return," Xiao Xuming jumped off the boulder, pulled out his sword, and was about to flee from this place of right and wrong.

Xiao Xuming, Ouyang Xiu shouted: "I thought we were like-minded friends, but I didn't expect you, like those corrupt officials and corrupt officials, to become ruthless and ruthless for your own career, and to disregard people'......s lives."

Xiao Xuming turned around: "Ouyang Xiu, have you said enough? Our friends for so many years, you scolded me like this for a woman, am I Xiao Xuming that kind of person?".

Seeing this, Ouyang Xiu immediately flew to Xiao Xuming's side, and stuffed the booklet back into Xiao Xuming's hand: "I know that I didn't see the wrong person, no matter whether you release the water or not, I must save the person." Ouyang Xiu thought of the worst plan, if he couldn't get out in time, he would not hesitate to become the hostage of the other party, and he would also rescue the person smoothly.

"What is the original intention of our martial arts practitioners? Is it to bully the weak and help the abuse? You should be regarded as practicing chivalry and righteousness, accumulating virtue and doing good. Ouyang Xiu was still trying to convince Xiao Xuming.

"He's really not Ning Jiuwei?".

"I vouch for my life. "
