Chapter 1: Knives in the Wind

Next Chapter

Chu State, Yangzhou.

The scorching sun is scorching, the streets are in a hurry, and the hawkers who usually buy are looking for a shady place to cool off.

In such weather, the two men walked down the street in no hurry, and the scorching weather did not cause a bead of sweat on their foreheads.

The two of them wore public head-catching clothes, with a three-foot goose feather knife hanging from their waists, tall and thin, with thick eyebrows and big eyes.

The other man, with a handsome face, beardless jaw and a well-proportioned figure, was also a knife with him, and from the scabbard, it should be a slender straight knife.

His knife was always held in his hand, and it was very natural to hold it tightly.

"Jin Baihu, in front of it is the Fengli Knife Residence. The catcher said.

"A great place to stay in the middle of nowhere. Can he really help us catch that black-hearted man?" Jin Baihu said with disbelief in his tone.

The head catcher nodded affirmatively.

"Of all the people I have met, the wind knife is the best of light skills, and it is faster than a sharp arrow. I have also heard of the methods of the black heart lang, but the hands that break the human heart are a little powerful, but it is difficult for us to arrest him because of the light skills that come and go without a shadow, with the help of the wind knife, this time the black heart lang will not be able to escape the law. ”

After finishing speaking, his thoughts sank into the memory, his real name is Wang Tao, and he is the chief arrester of Yangzhou Prefecture, and he is in charge of torture and arrest.

Catch a bandit in a city, and his men will shoot with a crossbow quickly, and the crossbow arrows will be fired and gallop out.

The bandits also have kung fu and are quick to catch up with the panicked civilians who fled in front of them.

This moment happened suddenly, and it was too late for Wang Tao, who had an overview of the overall situation, to make a move.

Seeing that the civilians were about to suffer misfortune, a white shadow flashed out of the crowd, reached out and caught the crossbow arrow, and twisted around, reached out again, and poked his finger at the base of the bandit's ear.

Between the lightning and flint, before the bandit could react, he was subdued by this person.

Wang Tao, the head catcher in the distance, naturally took this scene into his eyes, and was shocked in his heart, so he had to sigh: "What a handsome figure." ”

In order to thank the man in white for his help, Wang Tao naturally stepped forward to greet him and asked him for his title.

The man in white patted his robe.

"My brother's surname is Feng, the wind of the snowy night, a friend gave me a nickname, called Fengli Knife, I think it's pretty good. ”

Wang Tao, as the chief catcher of a state, has a lot of dealings with people on the rivers and lakes, and he will not miss being able to make friends with such an extraordinary young man.

In front of the door of the Fengli Dao Mansion, Wang Tao and Jin Baihu stepped forward and knocked on the door.

After a while, a crisp female voice came from inside: "Who knocked on the door?"

Wang Tao replied, "Wang Tao came to visit with Jin Gongzi, and he had something to discuss with Brother Feng, I wonder if Brother Feng is at home now?"

"No. The female voice replied simply and cleanly.

"Uh. ”

Wang Tao choked for a while, but he didn't expect that the knife in the wind happened not to stay at home.

He also asked, "When will Brother Nafeng come back, we do have something important." ”

"I don't know"

Wang Tao was stunned, hearing that this female voice seemed to be alienated from outsiders, so he didn't continue to inquire in detail, said goodbye and looked at Jin Gongzi behind him.

Although he is the chief catcher of a state, he is a man who is upright, never oppresses people with his identity, and does not do anything difficult for a strong man.

Jin Gongzi's handsome face frowned, and said, "Let's find another way." ”

Wang Tao replied: "Except for this person, others are afraid that it is difficult for them to do it." ”

"Incompetent? What are you competent for? Wang Zhutou, what kind of wind blew you here, and I didn't eat with my sister-in-law at home at noon, but I came here to ask for a drink?"

This remark surprised the two of them, and they didn't even notice it at all, which shows that what Wang Tao said is true, and that light skill is really amazing.

The person who came was exactly the knife they were looking for, and they knew it.

Wang Tao clenched his fists: "Brother Feng, don't come unharmed, can you enter the door?"

Wang Tao, who has a straightforward personality, never detours when he has something, listens to what he said, and Feng Xingzhi said.

"Then let's come in together, anyway, I haven't had a guest in my house for a long time, and the last time I came here was a beautiful man who didn't talk to me. ”

After saying this, Jin Gongzi's brows trembled, and the knife in his hand tightened unconsciously.

The mansion of Fengxingzhi can be seen from the outer door, and it does not occupy a large area, so it is three in and three out of the courtyard.

The outer door was empty, not closed, Feng Xingzhi stretched out his hand and pushed it open.

The three of them entered the courtyard, where most of the layout was no different from other houses, with flowers and plants, waterholes, and a pergola.

What is remarkable is that the huge iron box on the roof, the box is as black as ink, and I don't know what it is used for.

Wang Tao took a brief look: "Brother Feng has a chic life, such a comfortable small residence is enviable." ”

"I don't like to take care of these bits and pieces, it's my girl who likes to do some flowers and plants, I'm lazy, I will never stand if I can lie down. After speaking, Feng Xingzhi raised his mouth and smiled.

Wang Tao understood Feng Xingzhi's freedom and ease, and he also smiled back, remembering the female voice who answered the door just now, and asked, "Who is the girl who answered the door just now?"

"My sister, she's a little skinny, take care of her. Who is this son?"

"This is the Kirin Wei from Kyoto, Jin Mi Jin Baihu, I can't hide it, this time we came to ask you to help. ”

Feng Xingzhi waved his hand and said, "Don't be in a hurry to say Wang Zhutou, the first time you come to my house, why should you sit down and have a cup of tea, standing in the courtyard like something, come, please sit." ”

led Wang Tao and the two to sit down in the pergola and shouted to the backyard: "Fat fish, come to tea." ”

Hearing this, Wang Tao and the two were stunned, no one answered in the backyard, and what responded to him was an embroidered shoe that flew straight in.

Feng Xingzhi stretched out his hand to catch the embroidered shoes, and watched the girl with the tea set in both hands jumping up and down with only the foot of the shoe.

"What a big girl, still so impatient, can you throw your shoes around, put them on quickly. ”

After speaking, he bent down and put his shoes on his slender feet.

took the tea set in the girl's hand, sent her away, whose face was slightly red, and set up a cup of tea: "This girl, I'm about to be spoiled, don't mind." ”

Wang Tao answered: "The other sister is also a person in temperament, like his brother, not only has a similar personality, but also has a good future achievement in this footwork." ”

Hearing this, Jin Gongzi nodded slightly in agreement with Wang Tao's words: "Jumping on one foot, the tea set on the plate is not moving, it is not easy at this age." ”

"Don't praise her, this thing can't be on the table, let's talk about you, Wang Zhutou, you know that I'm afraid of trouble, if it's too troublesome, don't open your mouth, let's chat and drink today, what do you think." Feng Xingzhi said bluntly.

"This. Being said like this, Wang Tao didn't know how to answer, and glanced at the golden boy who was drinking tea on the side.

After pondering for a while, Wang Tao continued: "Brother Feng, this time the matter is indeed a bit tricky, but for those who are powerful in light martial arts, I can only ask you to help, I can trust your character, see how this goes, I will first tell you the cause and effect, and then you think about it?"

"Well, it looks like a real problem. I'm an old problem, as long as a friend opens his mouth, it's really hard for me to refuse, you can talk about it. ”

Wang Tao let out a sigh, and he was really a little worried that Feng Xingzhi would refuse.

Then let Jin Gongzi on the side tell the origin.

The reason is this, last month, the Min family in Kyoto and the Liang family got married, and the black-hearted Lang Jian Ji kidnapped the bride Min Rong on the wedding night and injured the groom.

This Jian Ji Jianghu people call him a black-hearted lang, and he can also be a black groom, and the bride who was kidnapped by him is not difficult to guess that he will be subjected to violence and humiliation, and even his life will not be guaranteed.

However, what is surprising is that after three days, Jian Ji will put the bride back, which is also where the people in the rivers and lakes call him black-hearted.

A simple thought shows that the wedding night is full of relatives and friends, and the bride is taken away, so the news naturally cannot be hidden.

Afterwards, the bride was put back, and this back and forth was a major matter related to the reputation of the woman.

When Jian Ji acted like this, not only did he destroy a new family, but the two families who were originally going to marry would also leave a gap between them.

As soon as this incident came out, there was a lot of uproar in Kyoto at that time, and the Min family and the Liang family were not small, threatening to kill the black heart as soon as possible, and many public men and chivalrous people vowed to bring Jian Ji to justice.

Recently, I heard that the black heart lang appeared in the Yangzhou territory, so Jin Gongzi came to Yangzhou City from Kyoto, thousands of miles away, to arrest that Jian Ji.

Jian Ji has been acting in the rivers and lakes for many years and is still safe and sound, first, his profound skills, and second, his light martial arts that come and go without a trace, and he has no fixed place, even if he temporarily knows that he is settled, it is difficult to arrest him.

If you want to arrest Jian Ji, you must have someone who is on par with him in light skills, or even better than him.

Therefore, Wang Tao and Jin Gongzi came to ask for help.

In his opinion, Feng Xingzhi will not be weaker than the black-hearted Lang Jian Ji in terms of light exercises.
