Chapter 10: The Night Walker

It was night, the wind was tight, the bamboo forest in the backyard was squeezing, and the cold air in the courtyard was getting heavier.

In the wing room of the Qinglou, the old servant with his ears knocked on the door, but no one answered, so he pushed the door and sent in a charcoal fire, and the red charcoal fire burned, bringing a burst of warmth.

The woman who was sleeping at the table was awakened by the cold, and when she saw the charcoal fire sent by the servant, she pulled a chair close to the stove, and her body was immediately warmed by the heat.

On the bed, Ling Yun's eyes were tightly closed, his thick and broad chest was heaving, and he was snoring loudly.

The woman couldn't help frowning, and said in her heart: "This stinky man is not the kind of person who is lustful, but he is just as disgusting and hateful, and he still sleeps so soundly when he dies." ”

There was a sound of fighting outside the door, tables and chairs were smashed, moans of pain were heard incessantly, and the silence of the night was as noisy as a battlefield.

The woman's eyebrows were stretched, her eyes were smiling, and while roasting the fire, she picked up a bowl of tea, took a few sips, and her pale lips were dry and rosy.

Outside the guest room, the old bustard's voice screamed: "Uncle, don't kill me, that official prostitute...... No, the eldest lady is in this room. ”

The door slammed open, and a handsome young man with a sword brow rushed into the room, carrying a sharp sword and a murderous face.

The woman's eyebrows were not raised, and her expression was calm, as if it was just a gust of wind and a breath of air that rushed in.

The young man said with concern: "Ziruo, are you okay?" Then he saw the man sleeping soundly on the bed, he was furious, and his voice trembled and almost wanted to breathe fire: "Who is he......?

The sword rose and sliced through the air, hissing for a moment's time into the man's chest.

"Stop!" Zi Ruo stopped him and said angrily, "If you kill him, I'll die for you!" she held up the broken bowl and strangled it to her throat.

The long sword had already been stabbed, and the young man hurriedly withdrew his hand, using too much force, the metal made a sudden noise, and said angrily: "This person insults you, I won't break his body into ten thousand pieces, and he won't be able to stay!"

A pair of middle-aged men and women rushed into the room behind him, and the old bustard was caught by two bright swords, unable to move, and his legs trembled.

Ziruo looked gloomy, and said: "Now that I know that I was insulted, why didn't you come to save me yesterday, a day late, I have already promised this person, you are late, it is late." ”

The young man couldn't speak, he almost wanted to spit out a few mouthfuls of blood in his chest, and said with a look of wrongedness: "Yesterday we were ambushed by the imperial court, and almost wiped out the whole army, Uncle Huang died at the hands of the dog officer, and today the three of us risked to save you, it is extremely dangerous......"

Ziruo saw that he looked impulsive, and felt a little remorse for his willful behavior, but he didn't bother to look at it, and said, "Hmph, then do I want to thank you? I have been humiliated by others now, why should you take the risk to save me? If you don't come, you don't have to take the risk." ”

The young man's heart was broken, the sword in his hand was broken into several sections, half a foot deep into the ground, his knees knelt on the ground, the wooden board suddenly cracked, and he shouted: "I am a dignified seven-foot man, but the beloved woman can't be well protected, and she is humiliated by others, how different is it from insects, it is better to kill this beast today, you and I will go to the underworld together, and be innocent husband and wife in the next life!"

The murderous aura rose suddenly, and the young man pulled out the broken sword with his empty palm, regardless of the blade cutting his palm, blood oozed out, and rushed over to assassinate the enemy on the bed.

In the haze of Lingyun, when he heard the noise in the room, he was dizzy, and he just wanted to sleep quietly, but he was really sleepy, confused, and never wanted to wake up from his dream.

When the broken sword stabbed, there was a "Don't!", and the sharp female voice woke him up, and the cold sword light had arrived in front of him.

Ling Yun was taken aback, and in the flash of light, the world in his eyes froze.

In an instant, he dodged, and the sharp sword slashed across the brocade quilt, and countless white cotton flew out, fascinating the young man's eyes.

And Ling Yun, who was already as fast as lightning, came behind him, kicked it over, and the young man threw himself on the bed and ate a mouthful of soft new cotton.

The old bustard couldn't help laughing, and he laughed out loud, regardless of the danger.

Zi Ruo was stunned, she didn't expect this ordinary man to have the world's top kung fu.

A bunch of middle-aged men and women were even more shocked, three of them were one master and two servants, and now that the master was attacked, the two loyal servants didn't have time to think about it, and stabbed with their swords.

Ling Yun looked at this sudden attack, as if two picture scrolls were coming in layer by layer, each of which could be torn at will, but he didn't want to see the tragic situation of the decomposition of his limbs, blood splattered all around, and the smell was so unpleasant, so he easily dodged it, like a cat teasing a mouse.

The two assassinated and pounced, but they still launched a sneak attack from behind, which was very shocking.

The middle-aged man, who practiced swordsmanship since he was a child, once stabbed the eyes of eight masters of the rivers and lakes with a sword, and since then he has been famous in the rivers and lakes.

The middle-aged woman next to him is his wife and the chief disciple, the two have been cooperating with the sword formation for more than 20 years, and there is no gap between each other.

Unexpectedly, this young man easily broke through the invincible sword formation, dodging so clumsily, as if his sword was as slow as a dog, and his expression did not change at all.

The secret of the double sword array is that one sword seals the way of death, and the other sword seals the way of life, no matter whether you move or not, how to escape, all the ways are blocked by the sword light, and there is no way to survive unless you abandon your life and beg for mercy.

The Twin Swords Sect Master recalled yesterday, at dusk, followed the young master, with more than ten first-class masters, passing by the Xiaoshang Mountain Canyon, intending to take a shortcut to rescue Ziruo who was escorted to the border.

Unexpectedly, after going deep into the hinterland of the canyon, tens of thousands of imperial court soldiers and horses appeared before and after, and the head was Sun Xun, the general of the Tiger Fu, with a jade sword, weighing 100 catties, his eyes were red, and he was always bloodthirsty and easy to kill.

"The remnants of the Hong family, where to escape!" Sun Xun shouted, quite threatening to break the Changban Slope.

The Twin Sword Sect Master Le Ma stood in front of the young master and said, "With you, can you stop us?"

Sun Xun said with a smile: "Zhao Weisong, your swordsmanship is known as the best in the world, I don't know how it compares to your wife?"

The adjutant general beside him smiled evilly: "General Sun, in my opinion, Old Man Zhao's swordsmanship is still stronger than his wife, but in terms of bed skills, his wife is definitely better." ”

Zhao Weisong knew that the two of them were provocative, so he was unmoved, but his wife, with apricot eyes wide open, was furious, and hurriedly pulled out his sword and glared at the two of them.

Zhao Weisong pressed the reins of his wife's horse and whispered, "Be careful of traps, don't be impulsive." ”

When he was young, Zhao Weisong was very angry, and he was unwilling to take his handsome new daughter-in-law to the rivers and lakes, and his daughter-in-law was also an unruly character, so she had to follow him around.

Zhao Weisong sighed and said, "Who will take his mother-in-law into the rivers and lakes?"

Mrs. raised her eyebrows and said coldly: "Why can't you go to the rivers and lakes with your mother-in-law?"

At this moment, Mrs. was reminded by Zhao Weisong, remembering that in the past, because of verbal provocations, many mistakes were made, and now in this moment of crisis, it is not appropriate to make branches, so she suppressed her temper and put away her sword.

"My lord, our young master has already changed his surname, and it has nothing to do with the Hong family, and even the imperial court admits that if the son of the Hong family is only fourteen years old, he will never return to Beijing if he is assigned to the frontier, and now we are going to the frontier to serve hard labor, why bother to chase and kill?" Zhao Weisong put down the first shelf in the world and said in a low voice.

"Not yet fourteen, but as far as I know, Young Prince Hong's birthday is February 17, and today he has already turned fourteen, so he should be killed. Sun Xun smiled.

"Why bother talking to the dog official, just kill everything. "A master surnamed Huang has accompanied Young Master Hong since he was a child, with deep feelings, and he was eager to protect the master, so he took out hundreds of catties of double copper hammers on the saddle and rode his horse to the enemy position.

Zhao Weisong wanted to stop it, but it was too late, so he had to order three people to guard the young master, and the rest of them rushed forward to kill.

"The general retreats from the wall and watches, and waits for his subordinates to kill all the thieves. The adjutant said.

The young master said worriedly: "Uncle Huang, kill the enemy quickly, don't want to fight, Ziruo may have fallen into the hands of traitors at this moment." He cares about the safety of the woman he loves, especially once his innocence is humiliated, what difference does he make between life and death!

He couldn't help hating his eldest brother, taking advantage of his absence, in order to save his eldest sister's life, he played a trick of stealing the day, but it was his most beloved woman who was sent to be an official prostitute!

The eldest brother was executed by Ling Chi at the entrance of the vegetable market in the capital, the tragic situation was unbearable, the eldest sister disguised herself as a maidservant girl, fled to the frontier, life and death are unknown, in just one month, the family was ruined, Ziruo is not only the woman he loves the most at this moment, but also all the sustenance to live.

"Kill!" the young master was angry and bloodshot, killing the enemy formation, and the three masters only cared about guarding against the enemy's hidden arrows, and they couldn't stop it, so they had to pat their horses to follow.

The officers and soldiers in ambush, the cavalry and infantry were mixed, because the terrain of the valley was narrow, it was inconvenient to spread the formation, and they had to rush and besiege in rows, so they had to rush into battle in shifts, and more than ten masters were like chopping melons and vegetables, and slashing and killing in rows.

Seeing that the enemy was only a dozen or so people, the officers and men expected to be outnumbered, and their morale was not leaked at all.

Although the master is invincible in swordsmanship, he has too many slashes, the sword is curled, the arm strength is weak, the enemy is still pouring up like a tide, and there is a team of warlords in the rear, and the soldiers who fled in fear of death have all been cut off their heads.

Zhao Weisong roared: "It's not a way to go on like this. Capture the enemy and capture the king, everyone take the Sun Dog Thief!"

At this moment, Sun Xun sat under the curtain on the mountain, with maids on both sides, waiting for him to eat fruits, watching the battle in the valley, as if watching a big play.

When the master surnamed Huang heard this, he thought it was true, swung the hammer and slammed the wheel, and the head that he touched opened his brain, and the officers and soldiers were afraid to get close, so he vacated a circle, he turned over and dismounted, and flew towards the mountain.

Seeing that he was huge and fat like an ox, he was shuttling through the hillside at this moment, and he was like a hare, as fast as lightning.

Sun Xun's face was indifferent, he stroked his beard all over his face, and said, "Stand down." ”

Before the maids on both sides could retreat, the two hammers had already flown to the top of the mountain, and one maid was smashed open on the spot, her brain was splashed, with blood, and the frightened other maid cried and screamed to the sky, fainting to the ground.

Sun Xun wiped the white brain flowers that burst out of his face, and said strangely: "Reckless man, I don't know how to pity the fragrance and cherish the jade at all." ”

The master surnamed Huang jumped to the top of the mountain, and the yellow hammer flew back into his hand, it turned out that the hammer was connected to the palm of his hand, which could fly out and take it back, the rope was extremely thin but extremely tough, cutting the curtain and covering Sun Xun's couch.

The master surnamed Huang raised his double hammer and roared angrily: "Suffer death, dog thief!"

Unexpectedly, the curtain was torn open, and a huge lion roared out, this lion was half the size of a mountain, and his body was black, like a body made of steel, a pair of sharp claws were sharper than any sharp sword in the world, and a giant tooth was half a man's height, and the waving tail shook off the mountain rock, and the stone was broken into countless pieces.

The master surnamed Huang was shocked, and muttered in his mouth: "What a hell!"

The twin hammers were held in front of him, blocking the flying stones.

The giant lion picked up his claws and slapped him down the mountain with one palm, and his chest was cut open by the claws three deep wounds in his spleen.

The masters were in a stalemate with the officers and soldiers, and the two of them had died, and they were all surprised to see the master surnamed Huang fall from the mountain at this moment.

The young master's eyes widened, he turned over and dismounted, pounced, hugged the body of the master surnamed Huang, and cried: "Uncle Huang, you can't die......"

The giant lion jumped down, its body almost filled the entire canyon, its tail wagged gently, it hit the stone walls on both sides, and fell countless gravels one after another, each line went further, and the corpses of countless soldiers under the claws trampled into flesh and mud, and the soldiers saw the giant lion, they were terrified and frightened, and they lost their armor one by one, and fled in the wilderness, and the overseer team had already fled.

Most of the masters have walked the rivers and lakes for decades, and the few have been for more than ten years, and they have never seen such a situation, so they can't help but be stunned and stunned on the spot.

Zhao Weisong frowned, and said: "Everyone get on the horse, hurry up and escape from this place, this lion is an extraordinary thing, our strength is beyond the enemy, run away!"

The men gathered up their swordsmen, picked up the dead, put them on their horses, and fled in the opposite direction.
