Volume 1 The Dragon Rises Chapter 32 The Rivers and Lakes in the Heart
Tonight's moon was not shining, the whole day was overcast, and as the night approached, it finally began to rain again, and the sound of the rain was ticking.
Ni Yu was arranged in the room next to Chen Jingcang, Xiao Qi had already prepared clothes and hot water, Ni Yu was not used to someone serving him to bathe, so he called Xiao Qi outside and said that she should go to rest first, and then she would clean up by herself.
But when she really stayed in the room, she was also a little scared, so she shouted Chen Jingcang a few times, and Chen Jingcang happened to be in the room, and when she heard Ni Yu's shout, she opened her mouth and asked, "What's the matter, Xiao Yu'er?"
"It's okay, I'm just a little scared, can you talk to me outside the door?" Ni Yu was a little unaccustomed to this strange mansion.
Chen Jingcang teased: "Will our heroine be afraid?"
Ni Yu didn't refute Chen Jingcang this time, but just said, "Chen Jingcang, are you really His Royal Highness the Prince?"
Chen Jingcang did not take advantage of the victory to pursue, and when he saw Ni Yu asking, he said "um" lightly, which can be regarded as admitting his identity as the prince.
Although Ni Yu was a little skeptical, he was still willing to believe this man in his heart, and said: "Then will you really be the emperor of a country in the future? ”
Before Chen Jingcang could reply, Ni Yu asked again: "In the future, when I see you, can you call you Chen Jingcang without calling you His Royal Highness the Prince?"
"Hmm. Chen Jingcang sat quietly outside the door and returned.
"Then can you tell me about my brother Ni Qiao in Liangzhou?"
Chen Jingcang sorted out his thoughts and was about to tell about the military life with Ni Qiao back then, when Ni Yu asked again: "Chen Jingcang, is that beautiful sister your wife?"
Chen Jingcang couldn't help but ask: "Xiao Yu'er, you ask so many questions at once, which question should I answer you first." ”
"Forget it, Chen Jingcang, do you have something to do? I saw someone reporting to you just now, is it a very important thing?" Ni Yu was a little annoyed, of course Chen Jingcang was even more annoyed than her.
Chen Jingcang knocked lightly on the door frame: "It's not too important, it's not as important as yours." ”
"What can I do?" Ni Yu took off her clothes and put them into the bathtub, and she called out comfortably: "Chen Jingcang, your bathtub is much bigger than mine, and the temperature of this hot water is just right." Also, is Little Sister Seventh your maid? She's also beautiful!"
Chen Jingcang outside the door was a little speechless, this little girl has a lot of questions, Chen Jingcang just thought about how to answer this question, and Ni Yu asked another question, Chen Jingcang shook his head with a wry smile.
No, Ni Yu in the room asked again: "Chen Jingcang, do you like beautiful women? ”
Chen Jingcang said "um" again, and then Ni Yu asked again: "Then do you like Xiao Yu'er, do you think Xiao Yu'er is annoying?"
Chen Jingcang knocked on the door frame again and said, "Although Xiao Yu'er has a lot of problems, she can eat again, and it hurts to beat people." Hearing this, Ni Yu immediately snorted coldly.
"But..."Chen Jingcang deliberately stretched the end of Dan very long, and said, "I still like Xiao Yu'er very much." ”
Ni Yu in the room was quiet again.
After a while, Ni Yu asked again, "Chen Jingcang, are you still there?"
"Here!" Chen Jingcang returned.
"That's good. ”
After that, there was no sound in the room, Chen Jingcang called Xiao Qi when it was not convenient for him to go in, Xiao Qi went in and saw Ni Yu who was already asleep, and woke up Ni Yu to dress her, but the little girl turned her head and fell asleep again, Xiao Qi couldn't hold Ni Yu, Chen Jingcang had to carry her to the bed.
Ni Yu has only been around for a few days since she got the news of Ni Qiao's death, and she has suffered a lot outside over the years, so she fell asleep after washing and washing, and instinctively put on her clothes and suddenly became sleepy again, and fell asleep again, probably feeling a long-lost peace of mind by Chen Jingcang's side, so she could sleep so easily.
Chen Jingcang carried Ni Yu to the bed and listened to the little girl murmuring: "Brother, brother." ”
Chen Jingcang patted her hand lightly, until Ni Yu fell asleep, then turned around and went back to his room, and He Lixing had been waiting in his room for a long time.
The layout of this morning has achieved remarkable results so far, and the hundred people who came from Tai'an have also been dispersed to the three military towns of Longying, Kongquan, Suimu, and everything is the same as He Lixing's plan.
The extensive search throughout the city drove out many of the Assassins who were hiding around the palace, and there were many bloody battles.
The 3,000 armor soldiers who were scattered out lost more than 70 in one day today, and those hidden masters of the rivers and lakes only paid the price of more than a dozen people, so it seems that there is a clear difference in the combat strength of the two sides.
I am afraid that there are more than 100 soldiers who have been seriously injured and lost their combat strength, and before they can really besiege and kill, hundreds of people have already been lost, and the bad premonition in Chen Jingcang's heart has gradually become stronger.
He Lixing was about to speak, Chen Jingcang signaled to be quieter, He Lixing lowered his voice and said: "Lord Wang, I found a strange man about thirty miles outside the city of Bingzhou, no matter who stood in front of him, as long as he dared to make a move, he would be slashed and killed with one move, according to the report of the spies, the direction he was moving towards the Nameless Mountain. ”
"Didn't the investigation room find out the origin of this person?" asked Chen Jingcang.
He Lixing hesitated to speak: "I haven't found it yet, but according to some elderly detectives, it seems to be a sword god who has retired from the rivers and lakes for many years, Qiao Ling'an." ”
"Qiao Ling'an?" Chen Jingcang clasped his hands: "Didn't send anyone to stop him?"
He Lixing shook his head and said: "After receiving the spy report before, I ordered a hundred people to stop it, and there should be news at this time." As he spoke, he heard Xie Ningyuan knock lightly on the door and said, "Lord Wang, there is a spy report over there, saying that it is to stop the hundred elites who are suspected of Qiao Ling'an, and they were killed by that person with one move." ”
It seems that it is really Qiao Ling'an, the sword god who swept the world back then, there is no doubt that he kills hundreds of people with one move, such a master, even if it is not the sword god Qiao Ling'an who retired back then, he will be an extremely terrifying existence, why did he rush to the nameless mountain? Chen Jingcang was very puzzled in his heart, Qiao Ling'an was originally the heir of a large family in Bingzhou, he had a strong interest in kendo since he was a child, and he also showed unparalleled kendo talent, he left Bingzhou at the age of seventeen to go to various states to sharpen his kendo, and he was thirteen years after leaving the family, and when he returned again, he was already a sword god that everyone on the rivers and lakes feared.
Thirteen years later, his original family was not as good as it was back then, and when he returned, he saw only unfamiliar faces, and a few familiar faces were all killed and injured in the turmoil of the past few years.
Thirteen years ago, the annexation was not as prosperous as it is now. The seven-year-old Great Chu is still in the hands of Chen Archery, although the state will be better, but the near poor water mountain is a favorite place for many bandits and rogues, when the government is strangled, to the poor water mountain for half a year, the government does not have so much time to consume with them.
In the spring of the eighth year of Jushou, Chen Zidong was established as the crown prince, and the whole world gradually settled down, until the beginning of the sixteenth year of Jushou, the first emperor of Great Chu Chen Shot died and returned, Chen Zidong succeeded to the throne and changed the country name to "Xuanping", and the whole world gradually became stable under Chen Zidong's hands.
In the past 20 years, the Chen family has become more and more solid, and Chen Zidong has sat firmly in the seventy-two counties of Kyushu.
Qiao Ling'an, who had been in the rivers and lakes for decades, returned again and plunged into the poor water mountain after seeing the scene of things being people, during which he went out of the poor water mountain once, and heard that he went to the Luofeng Sword Cliff to compete with a female sword fairy, and finally heard that Qiao Lingan was defeated by the female sword fairy and lived in seclusion in the poor water mountain again.
This time in the mountain, only a few people had seen Qiao Ling'an, and they competed with him with a few swords, and most of them were slashed and killed by him with one sword.
Back then, everyone in Bingzhou regarded this sword god from Bingzhou as proud, and there were many foreign swordsmen who went deep into Qianshui Mountain just to be able to compete with Qiao Ling'an with a sword.
The more famous one back then was Huang Ziyu, a swordsman who also had a great reputation in Bingzhou, this person's swordsmanship was also really good, and it was rumored that he was undefeated with Qiao Ling'an with three swords, and now it is rumored to be a good story, of course, the most admirable thing is Huang Ziyu's poetic talent.
This person is known for a poem written extremely quickly and chicly, although Huang Ziyu has retired from the rivers and lakes for many years, but his poems are still liked a lot.
Chen Jingcang, a widely circulated poem, also heard it back then, and now I think about it and remember it, but I don't know Qiao Ling'an too well, when Huang Ziyu was born to look down on the world, Qiao Ling'an was already in a semi-retired state, and the sword comparison with Huang Ziyu was also rumored to be a little false.
When He Lixing said Qiao Ling'an, Chen Jingcang didn't think of the mythologized sword god, he immediately thought that it was indeed Huang Ziyu, a famous generation of sword heroes in Bingzhou!
Chen Jingcang suddenly recited a poem that was widely circulated:
The drums are noisy, and the lips are crooked across the world.
The wine bag is empty, and the placket is soaked and drunk on the edge of the battlefield.
The heart is not exhausted, the strength is not weakened, and the sword will be drunk and danced.
Woo, come, come, don't break your heart.
How can the wind stop the yellow sand, the sword intent rises, and the oblique sword angrily points at the thief!
The ears do not hear the hustle and bustle of the world, and they have their own sword intent to the heart!
When the kendo is invincible, it is scheduled to be drunk in the world!
Such bold words are worthy of a legendary swordsman in the state. For Chen Jingcang, he prefers such a happy sword hero in the world, rather than the not profound sword god Qiao Ling'an.
I like Huang Ziyu's happy enmity, I like his sprinkling sword energy, and what I like even more is his unrestrained road to the rivers and lakes!
In Chen Jingcang's heart, Huang Ziyu is more like a more brilliant swordsman in the rivers and lakes, being a swordsman should be like this, the road is uneven, and a sword is even.
That kind of rivers and lakes make people yearn for it, so after many years, Chen Jingcang can still remember his poems that have been handed down to this day after hearing about Huang Ziyu's deeds.
Perhaps for Chen Jingcang, his dream when he was a child was to become a swordsman like Huang Ziyu, who was chivalrous and wanton. It's just that now, he has become the prince of a country, and the road to the Sword Immortal has nothing to do with him after all.
