Summer in Yuzhou is always much hotter than in other places. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

It was just past noon, and although there was a breeze blowing, it was also a hot wind with a hint of scorching smell.

A horse-drawn carriage galloped on the road leading to Pingyao Town in Taiyuan County, although this section of the road is an official road, but because of the age, and has not had much maintenance, so the road condition is not good, and it is rare for pedestrians to have two or three in a day.

The galloping carriage brought up smoke and dust all the way, like the anxious heart of a person in a hurry.

The wheels turned, creaking, and the driver kept whipping the bantam that was pulling the cart, but it didn't make the carriage any faster.

Suddenly, a hoarse voice came from the carriage: "Old horse, can you be faster?" ”

"Smack!"

The driver who was driving the car raised the horsewhip in his hand, and there was a trace of bitterness on his face, "Elder Kang, you don't know the road in Pingyao Town, you really can't go any faster." If it was faster, the horses would have been able to bear it, but the cart had to be scrapped first. ”

Xu knew that what the old horse said was the truth, and the people in the carriage sighed and didn't say anything more.

The carriage was running, and suddenly two men in black jumped out from behind the rocks beside the road in front of them, and the men in black didn't care about the speed of the carriage rushing wildly, but threw themselves towards the carriage together.

Seeing this, the old horse knew that something was wrong in his heart, and hurriedly shouted: "There are thieves! Elder Kang, abandon the car! ”

The old horse roared, but there was no confusion in his hand, and the long whip struck out and hit one of the men in black.

The speed of the man in black pointed to by the long whip did not slow down by the old horse's attack, he staggered to dodge the old horse's attack, and in the blink of an eye, he came to the old horse's side, and fought with the old horse where the coachman was sitting in the carriage.

As soon as the two of them exchanged hands, suddenly a short and fat figure smashed directly through the window of the carriage and ran towards the mountains and forests on the side.

Seeing this, the man in black who was fighting in one place shouted: "Feng, catch up with that old guy, what we want is in the hands of that old guy." ”

The man in black called 'Wind', who was shorter than the man who spoke, seemed to be slower, and when he heard the words of his companion, he did not hesitate, and immediately gave up his plan to help his companion solve the opponent first, and turned around and chased after the short and fat figure.

When the short and fat figure first left the carriage, the speed was not slow, but after running a distance of 100 meters, it seemed to have no strength, and the speed suddenly slowed down.

Seeing this, although the "wind" suspected that the enemy was cheating, he only slowed down slightly, and after a few ups and downs, he flew down in front of the short and fat man.

The long sword in his hand stabbed out, but it suddenly stopped halfway!

A hint of surprise flashed in the eyes of the man in black, and he said in a cold voice: "Hand over that thing, and I'll let you go." ”

The short and fat man's face was unusually ruddy, as if he had been seriously injured, and he coughed violently twice before he replied, "Unless I, Kang Mingren, die, you don't want to snatch this thing from me." ”

"Kang Mingren!"

This name brought a burst of pain in the heart of the man in black, 'Feng' was silent for a while, as if he remembered something, his originally cold gaze gradually became warm, and he said softly: "Fifth Elder, with that thing, you will die." ”

"You?" When Kang Mingren heard the other party's words, he couldn't help but be stunned, "Who are you?" ”

Before Kang Mingren's words fell, his eyes suddenly widened, and he looked down at the tip of the sword piercing his body from the back, with a look of despair.

"I'm afraid you'll be soft-hearted." The man in black behind Kang Mingren drew back his long sword, looked at the short and fat corpse that fell to the ground, and his eyes became cold, "It's good that you followed me on this mission, otherwise you wouldn't know how to die." ”

"Brother Lei, why do you have to kill him? Wouldn't it be nice if we just got that thing? "'Wind' looked at Kang Mingren's corpse on the ground, and it seemed that he still couldn't accept the fact that the person who was kind to him died in front of his eyes.

"Feng, I don't care if you knew this person before, you just need to remember that from the day you joined the Shadow Guard, the only thing we can do is to try to keep ourselves alive." The man in black, 'Lei', found a coarse cloth package from Kang Mingren's arms, opened it and found what he wanted, then got up and continued: "This is your first mission, so I took you with me, and next time, I can only hope for your own good luck." ”

'Feng' looked at everything in front of him in silence, looking at the man in front of him who taught him martial arts so that he could survive the training camp, his eyes gradually lost his vitality, becoming mechanical and cold, as if human feelings had been completely abandoned.

He nodded mechanically: "I understand, Brother Lei." ”

Seeing this, the man in black said coldly: "It's good that you understand, now that the task has been completed, we can go back to the station to hand in the task." ”

……

The afterglow of the sunset, the mountains seem to be covered with a layer of red veil, magnificent and gorgeous, the tired birds in the mountains and forests return to the forest, the 'wind' steps are brisk, holding a long sword in one hand, all the way forward, and soon come to a dense forest.

This is the lowest part of the hillside, and if you go further, you have to go up the mountain, and over the mountain in front of you, it is the exit of the shadow guard from the training camp station.

'Wind' came here with a long sword, just because of his habit, when he couldn't sleep, he would come here to practice his sword, which was the secret of his ability to survive the training camp and get the code name 'Wind'.

It had been three days since he returned to the training camp on his first mission, and every time he closed his eyes, he would always see Kang Mingren's desperate gaze before he died entangled with Kang Mingren's loving gaze in his memory, and finally fell silent in endless darkness.

'Wind' is his code name in the shadow guard, his real name is Gu Changfeng, he was originally just an ordinary teenager in Pingyao Town, but because of an accident four years ago, his parents were not heard from and became orphans.

After Gu Changfeng became an orphan, he was adopted by his neighbor Lin Bo. However, that year was like a nightmare, and it left a heavy mark on Gu Changfeng's life.

Because of the famine in Yuzhou, Shuzhou, and Yangzhou that year, the Kang family, a big family in Pingyao Town, opened a warehouse to release grain to relieve the people of a town. On that day, after Gu Changfeng received relief food from Kang Mingren, the fifth elder of the Kang family, he happily went to find Lin Bo, who went out to look for food, but outside the town, he watched Lin Bo, who adopted him, being killed by Wang Mazi and a group of robbers because of a handful of grain.

It was also on that day that Gu Changfeng, who lost his loved ones again, was sold into the Qingguan by traffickers, and was later valued by the passing deputy commander of the Shadow Guard, Wood, who rescued him from the Youth Pavilion and brought him to the training camp of the Shadow Guard.

In order to survive, Gu Changfeng got the guidance of 'Lei', the commander of the shadow guard, practiced his swordsmanship hard, and finally obtained the code name 'Feng' after killing his companions in the training camp one by one.

Snatching Kang Mingren's package was his first task after becoming a shadow guard, 'Lei' was not worried about his first mission, so he accompanied him to go with him, Gu Changfeng didn't know that his task was related to the Kang family when he received the task, and it would be related to the good man Kang Mingren in his memory.

'Ray' wasn't satisfied with his performance this time, so after the two of them returned to the Shadow Guard station together to hand in the mission, he let him go back to his residence alone to reflect.

Gu Changfeng practiced the sword over and over again, and only when he no longer had the strength to stab the next sword did he let go of the long sword in his hand, and lay quietly on the ground alone, looking at the dark night sky in a daze.
