Nie Zeng receives an invitation, above is arranging in order one string of personal names, he remembers majority, therefore asks for leave from the military strategist, goes to feast. 聂增接到一份请柬,上面列着一串人名,他记得其中大部分,于是向军师请假,前去赴宴。. The Central Plains influence looks like along with Western Region the tide of seasonal variation, rises to draw back limited, will leave a trace each time, includes to distribute the soldier village in eastern various country's. 中原势力对西域来说就像是随季节变化的潮汐,涨退有期,每次都会留下一点痕迹,其中就包括分布东部诸国的兵屯。 In the soldiers stored already did not have the soldier, was rich in the farmer and Bladesman, Nie Zeng was the soldier stores the juniors, invites the person who he ate meal is the fellow villager, there are several leaving home wanderer after him. 兵屯里早已没有士兵,盛产农夫与刀客,聂增是兵屯子弟,邀他吃饭的人全是同乡,有几位还是在他之后离家闯荡的。 Nie Zeng had hated these people, when his uncle entire family kills by Dragon King and Tie Hanfeng, nobody stands to revenge, even nobody said anything, the youngster runs from afar, has not obtained many help, the fellow villagers told the name of his murderer at most, then warned: „Ok, Jade City is this, formerly he was Killer(s) time could not stir up, now becomes Dragon King, could not stir up.” 聂增曾经怨恨过这些人,当他叔叔全家被龙王和铁寒锋杀死的时候,没人站出来报仇,甚至没人说点什么,少年千里迢迢跑来,也没有得到多少帮助,同乡们顶多告诉他凶手的姓名,然后告诫道:“算了吧,璧玉城就是这样,从前他是杀手的时候就惹不起,现在当上龙王,更惹不起了。” Years later, gradually mature Nie Zeng starts the clear Bladesman rule, had understood the fellow villagers initially seemed like the timid behavior actually had the truth, after getting used to seeing innumerable revenged kills, he also gave up the hatred. 事隔几年,逐渐成熟的聂增开始明白刀客的规则,理解了同乡们当初看似怯懦的行为其实自有道理,在看惯无数仇杀之后,他自己也放弃了仇恨。 Only then Dragon King that person, forever will solidify the hatred in the heart, he and Jade City are incompatible, even cannot be the Western Region person. 只有龙王那种人,才会将仇恨永远固化在心中,他与璧玉城格格不入,甚至不能算是西域人。 However Nie Zeng still admired Dragon King, he knows, the intention hatred is a how painful matter, but Dragon King insists unexpectedly now, and also will insist. 不过聂增仍然敬佩龙王,他知道,心怀仇恨是多么痛苦的一件事,而龙王竟然坚持到现在,并且还将坚持下去。 The meeting place is a remote tavern, several fellow villagers encircle, whips with Nie Zeng affectionate, had his childhood playmate. 聚会地点是一家偏僻的酒馆,十几名同乡围上来,亲昵地与聂增拍拍打打,其中还有一位他小时候的玩伴。 „Look, I also come out.” Playmate named Qiao Guan, holds up excitedly gives Nie Zeng to look. “瞧,我也出来啦。”玩伴名叫乔官,兴奋地举起单刀给聂增看。 „The boy who has not experienced, comes out for several months, thinks oneself were well-known Bladesman.” 40-year-old Bladesman said, Qiao Guan is his nephew, receives his affection very much, „takes a look at Nie Zeng, the age is similar , compared with others, don't you blush?” “没见识的小子,才出来几个月,就以为自己是知名刀客了。”一名40多岁的刀客笑着说,乔官是他的侄子,很受他的喜爱,“瞧瞧聂增,年龄差不多,跟人家一比,你不脸红吗？” Qiao Guan does not blush, stands side Nie Zeng, racket ** said: „We are the good brothers, shares everything, do I happy for him also without enough time, why blush?” 乔官脸不红,站到聂增身边,拍**说:“我们是好兄弟,不分彼此,我替他高兴还来不及,干嘛脸红？” Nie Zeng actually a little blushes, he does not have to think really oneself splendid, but is an ordinary guard Dragon Army, „Second Uncle and Qiao Guaner, you do not flatter me, making the bystander hear the joke, today isn't drinks? Come, the alcohol capacity good is the real skill.” 聂增却有点脸红,他真没觉得自己有多出色,只不过是一名普通的龙军护卫而已,“二叔、乔官儿,你们别吹捧我了,让外人听见笑话,今天不是喝酒吗？来,酒量好才是真本事。” The fellow villagers applaud boisterously, support Nie Zeng to enter the shop, has not taken a seat starts to lift the bowl to propose a toast. 同乡们哄然叫好,拥着聂增进店,还没落座就开始举碗敬酒。 Qiao two are the leader of this young group of people, he comes Jade City earliest, other did not say, the light can live the present is a extraordinary achievement, let alone he is small cover on a street, has the stable source of income, comes the Jade City wanderer with village Bladesman, has not visited his. 乔二是这一小群人的领袖,他来璧玉城最早,别的不说,光是能活到现在就算是一件了不起的成就,何况他还是一条街上的小罩子,拥有稳定的收入来源,同村刀客来璧玉城闯荡,没有不拜会他的。 Naturally, he could not protect all people, can only render the assistance within the ability, tip accumulated the personal connection, if this Bladesman three years later has not died, he vigorously will meet the junction. 当然,他保护不了所有人,只能在力所能及的范围内给予帮助,点点滴滴地积累人脉,如果这名刀客三年之后还没死,他才会大力接交。 The Nie Zeng uncle only survived in Jade City for two months, therefore and Qiao two relations are ordinary, Nie Zeng the quick full three years, greatly was valuable in the fellow villager eyes. 聂增的叔叔在璧玉城只生存了两个月,因此与乔二关系一般,聂增却已经快满三年,在同乡眼里已经大有价值。 Nie Zeng has brought forth nice wine quantity in Northern Court, really „real skill”, quick mixes with the fellow villagers ripe, Qiao Guangen side him, the ratio is intimate to the uncle. 聂增在北庭练出了好酒量,果然有一副“真本事”,很快就与同乡们重新混熟,乔官跟在他身边,比对叔叔还亲热。 This is the meeting that one time enjoys oneself to the full at will, everybody some are the common languages, Qiao Guan brings the Nie Zeng parents family member's news, said that they cross well, Qiao two recalls past, but also remembers that Nie Zeng the mischievous matter, other Bladesman discussed in childhood the joyful and sad occasions in Jade City, inquired the inside story to Nie Zeng, is serious to each few words that he spoke. 这是一次随意尽兴的聚会,大家有的是共同语言,乔官带来聂增父母亲人的消息,说他们过得都不错,乔二回忆往事,还记得聂增小时候许多淘气的事,其他刀客则议论璧玉城里的大事小情,向聂增打听内幕,对他说的每一句话都很当回事。 Slowly, some people drink ask to be excused, some people pour under the table whistling rest greatly, Qiao Guan crazied drunk, draws a sword to shout and wrangle in the shop, by an uncle close to long-handled fan but actually, lay in the place mumbled several, fell asleep. 慢慢地,有人喝多告退,有人倒在桌子底下呼呼大睡,乔官发了酒疯,拔刀出来在店里大呼小叫,被叔叔一巴掌扇倒,趴在地嘟囔了几句,也睡着了。 Finally, remaining Qiao two with Nie Zeng, Qiao Erlian eyes were only red, the state of mind is very sober, is drawing the arm of Nie Zeng, sheds several drops of tears, „sees you, I have remembered your uncle Nie azure, oh, I have the shame.” 最后,只剩下乔二与聂增,乔二连眼睛都红了,神志却很清醒,拉着聂增的胳膊,流下几滴眼泪,“一看到你啊,我就想起了你叔叔聂青,唉,我心里有愧啊。” „Past matter, but also raises it to do? Qiao Second Uncle gathers up dead bodies for my uncle entire family, Nie Zeng has borne in mind, this graciousness unreported, I am in the heart have the person of shame.” “过去的事情,还提它干嘛？乔二叔替我叔叔全家收尸,聂增一直记在心里,此恩未报,我才是心中有愧之人。” Qiao two shoots a look at the biological nephew who has opened mouth to sleep, sighed, „Nie Zeng, to be honest, the change was not small in the two years.” 乔二瞥了一眼张嘴睡觉的亲侄子,叹了口气,“聂增,说实话,这两年你的变化可不小啊。” „Has grown up, understood that matter were many, naturally has the change.” “长大了,懂得事情多了,自然有变化。” Qiao two nod approvals, then lower the sound to ask: „Do you also plan to revenge?” 乔二点头赞同,然后压低声音问:“你还打算报仇吗？” „Life that my uncle choose, he queered, others hire Assassin(s) to kill him, although dies the injustice, but my non- hatred/enemy can/but reported.” “我叔叔自己选择的生活,他得罪了人,人家雇刺客杀他,虽然死得冤,但我无仇可报。” Qiao two nods once more, „this is Jade City, came unable to blame heaven and earth, results in the time to guard, a negligence will annoy the fatal disaster, but, Jade City also had one set of rule.” 乔二再次点头,“这就是璧玉城,来了就不能怨天怨地,得时刻防备着,一个疏忽就会惹来杀身之祸,不过,璧玉城还有一套规则。” „Un?” Nie Zeng understands finally Qiao two really had the words to say. “嗯？”聂增终于明白乔二真是有话要说。 „Can bully the weak, so-called revenges, to the people demonstrated that I compared with you, am just like Dragon King, he is a smart person, anxiously is never killing Supreme King, fights steadily, is stronger than Golden Roc Castle to the strength, publicizes Jade City to revenge.” “强能凌弱,所谓报仇,就是向众人展示我比你强,好比龙王,他是聪明人,从来不急着杀死独步王,稳扎稳打,一直到实力比金鹏堡更强,才公开来璧玉城报仇。” Nie Zeng smiled, „I was impossible to be stronger than Dragon King, therefore can only give up revenging.” 聂增笑了笑,“我是不可能比龙王更强了,所以只能放弃报仇。” Qiao two facial expressions are very serious, this makes his glowing red eye appear several points of ominous air/Qi, „Dragon King also has the fault time, if he initially led the Northern Court cavalry to capture Jade City in one vigorous effort, the matter has also tied, but he must flatter Central Plains, surrendered something submissively the excellent situation, Dragon King now seems formidable......” 乔二的神情却很严肃,这让他红通通的眼睛显出几分凶气,“龙王也有失误的时候,他当初要是带着北庭骑兵一鼓作气攻下璧玉城,事情也就结了,可他非要讨好中原,将大好局面拱手让人,龙王现在只是看上去强大……” The Nie Zeng hear, set out saying: „Second Uncle, only chats about former friendship today, if you have other intention-- liquor also drank was similar, I said goodbye, next time will say goodbye, when we business discussed.” 聂增听不下去了,起身说道:“二叔,今天只叙旧情,你若是别有用意——酒喝得也差不多了,我还是告辞吧,下次再见,咱们当生意谈。” Qiao two draw Nie Zeng to sit down hurriedly, „blames me to talk too much, I only asked one, don't you want to revenge really?” 乔二急忙拉着聂增坐下,“怪我多嘴,我就只问一句,你真不想报仇了？” „I have said that non- hatred/enemy can/but reported.” “我说过,无仇可报。” Qiao Erdeng a meeting, had discovered that Nie Zeng is earnest, therefore no longer said, two people silently and drank several bowls of liquor, Qiao two have changed a topic: „Nie Zeng, your age is not small, matter that has thought to get married and begin a career.” 乔二等了一会,发现聂增是认真的,于是不再多说,两人默默地又喝了几碗酒,乔二换了一个话题:“聂增,你年纪也不小了,想没想过成家立业的事。” „Did I 16, discuss this too early?” Nie Zeng said startled. “我才16,谈这个太早了吧？”聂增愕然道。 „You 16? Also right, you are similar to Qiao Guaner age, but you look that is maturer than him.” Qiao two name sighed. “你才16？也对,你跟乔官儿年纪相仿,可是你看着比他成熟多了。”乔二啧啧称叹。 Nie Zeng is not only weathered, the behavior also restrains compared with Qiao Guan a lot, revealed that with temperament that the age does not tally, „prairie wind heavy snow is big, my this is frozen becomes this appearance.” 聂增不只面带风霜,行为也比乔官收敛得多,显露出与年龄不相符的气质,“草原风大雪大,我这是被冻成这副模样。” „Haha.” Qiao two laughs, just small puts out awkwardly, „actually 16 are not small, earlier gets married anything not to be good, your parents can also feel relieved.

Also is what kind of? I am voluntary.” 铁玲珑微微抬头,月光在她眼中一闪,还是没有亮出绿色,“少管闲事……是又怎么样？我自愿的。” Nie Zeng has stood dull a meeting, turns around oneself room. 聂增呆呆地站了一会,转身回自己房间。 Tie Linglong a little regretted, Dragon King had said that must keep secret, but that is in view of Chu Nanping, has nothing to do with Nie Zeng, she ambushes once more, thought that Nie Zeng should not inquire gossipy. 铁玲珑有点后悔,龙王说过要保密,可那是针对初南屏,与聂增无关,她再次潜伏,心想聂增就不该多嘴多舌地询问。 A Nie Zeng night has not rested, day quick bright time goes to seek an interview Dragon King. 聂增一夜未睡,天快亮的时候前去求见龙王。 „Some people betray Dragon King.” Nie Zeng said, regards as one duty and responsibility own behavior. “有人背叛龙王。”聂增说,将自己的行为看作一种义务与责任。 „Right?” “是吗？” Dragon King is not probably accidental, Nie Zeng is also very tranquil, „, moreover is side Dragon King very intimate person, he knows many ordinary officers unintelligible matters, for example......
